"It is clear from these answers," sums up the
Fiscarrel, " that so many shots must have been
thrown away. Now, powder and shot are valuable
commodities, and the resources of the kingdom
must be economised; therefore, the offender is ad-
judged to pay a fine (calculated according to certain
data) for each of his misses." Perhaps the unlucky
chasseur pleads that although he only killed so many
birds or beasts outright, his shots were practically
not thrown away, inasmuch as others not included
in the return were " winged'' by him, The Fis-
carrel will not let him off on such a plea. " By the
offender's own admission he has put creatures to
useless torture—accordingly he is adjudged to pay
so many marks additional." It is equally hopeless
to take refuge in silence or blank forgetfulness.
Refusals to answer are construed as so many admix.
sions of failure and taxed accordingly, over and
above which there are pains and penalties for
"contempt of court," and if any unlucky wight is
detected, wittingly or unwittingly, in an attempt to
appropriate anybody else's bird this is the worst
and most expensive crime of all. When justice has
been satisfied as to the conduct of all parties there
is usually a good round sum collected, and this is
handed over with all due form for the benefit of
the beaters and others engaged in catering for the
day's sport.

It has now been finally arranged that the infant
Prince, Albert Victor, shall start from here on
Tuesday next about 2 o'clock a.m., in the Osborne,
under the charge of Dr Sieveking. As a Prince of
the blood Royal he will of conrae be entitled to:a
salute at his departure, unconscious of the honour
though he may be. The attention, or, more properly
speaking, the interest of his Royal Highness will
centre in something much more commonplace than
discharges of artillery—namely, in the cow which
is to be honoured with a passage in the Royal ship.
The route contemplated is by the Royal yacht from
here to Lubeck, and thence, with a view of shorten.
ing the sea journey as much as possible, by railway
and steamer to Hamburg. The long and trying
passage round the point of Jutland will thus be
avoided, and a tolerably straight run attained from
Hamburg across to Hull. According to this elan,
howevtr, two vessels will obviously be required, as
to the analogous case of the break at the Isthmus of
Suez in the Peninsular and Oriental line of naviga-
tion. To perform the latter part of the journey her
Majesty's ship Salamis has already left Elsinore, and
will be in Hamburg coaled and ready to proceed
immediately before the arrival of Prince Albert
Victor. From Hull his Royal Highness will
be conveyed as expeditiously as possible to the High-
lands, where his arrival is looked forward to with
much eagerness by her Majesty Queen Victcria.
The Salamis having arrived in English waters will
not again return to this country. The Osborne, on
tze other hand, having discharged her mission, will
proceed to Copenhagen, and there await the plea-
sure and ultimate decision of the Prince and Prin-
cess of \Vales as to their homeward route.

All arrangements effecting the Russian Grand
Duke are naturally talked about as little as pos-
sib'.e, but it is believed that he, too, will leave
Denmark on Tuesday next.
