that there were a great number of men in the pit. " Pro-

LA.ONCH OF THE GitEkl EASTERN.—We are authorised
in state that, this ship will be launched in the first spring
tides of next month (October). The day is not, as yet,
absolutely fixed, but this important event will probably
take place on Monday, the sth of that month. The tides
will be highest on that day.—Canadian _Yews.
TNE Gnsr.—Partridge shooting commenced on Tuesday,
with the prospect of plenty of work for the gun. Birds in
this quarter are plentiful, coveys generally numerically
strong and well grown. We have heard of many dead birds
having been picked up, which is attributed to a disease
engendered by long droughts.—Cheltenitant, Examiner.
THE LLTE BIiROP BLOALFIELD'S `'PILL.—It is under-
stood that Bishop Bloomfield has left about £55,000
behind him. Besides Mrs. B'oomfield, there are ten or
eleven to ba provided for out of the sum we have men-
tioned. It is high'y creditable to the memory of one
often unjustly reproached for his love of wealth, that,
after nearly thirty years' enjoyment of a revenue amount-
ing from £lB,OOO to £5,000, he has saved comparatively
little. [Highly creditable indeed V.]
