acts will cease to operate ; and on the Ist November nest

over to the parishes for tho highways.
THE PII EASANT SEASON IN CORNWALL.—'rhy
first week of the season in Cornwall shows that there is ea
unusually large supply of pheasants in the Dover,. They
are, however, difficult to get at, in conreqmace of the
thickness of the foliage and underwood. The birds are
generally very strong and healthy.
Bum. Floars.—The press of Madrid has for
sonic time past been publishing articles against bull
fighting, end in their attacks on the sport have given some
curious statistics. The number of bull fights have of late
considerably increased, and it is calculated that in a
single year, in 1801. ass many as 1,990 of those animals
were thus sacrificed. The value of each being estimated
at 2.500 reals (five sons each) the loss may be set down at
4,975,000 real. In the same year, 3,000 hones, worth
600,000 teals, are supposed to have perished. The losses
in ISCsi were still greater, and consisted of 2,375 bulls and
3,661 horses, representing a total value of about 7,800,000.
The money paid for admission to the 475 bull fights which
took place last year amounted to 13 millions of reels, so
that the total coat of that amusement to the country for
the year was not less than a million of piastres or five
millions of francs.
