ELECTION PETITION.-LTSBURN.

The SPEAKER read a communication setting forth that
the petitioners did not intend to withdraw their petition
against the return of the sitting member, Mr. Barber, and
that a letter which they had previously received, stating
that they decided to abandon the petition, was signed in
ignorance of the contents of the document, in fact they had
been misled by the agent, Mr. M'Cann.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that the papers
be printed and taken into consideration to-morrow.
Mr BOUVERIE said certainly a breach of the house
had been committed, and suggested that the proper way to
proceed was by petition.
The motion was agreed to.
DROPPED NOTICES YESTERDAY.

Mr. SHERIDAN hoped the Government would make
some arrangement for those notices. He had one upon
Fire Insurance, but probably it would be rendered un-
necessary by the financial statement to-morrow.
The house then adjourned at ten minutes after four.

NOV EL PUNISHMENT FOR POACHERS. The
gamekeeper of an English gentleman having
caught
two poachers not long ago upon his Ayrshire grounds,
brought them before his master, who interrogated them as
to their reasons for thus transgressing the law. The repl3
was that they were starving, and that they had bethought
themselves of this mode of procuring food. The gentleman
inquired of them if they were willing to emigrate. " Yes,"
said they, " Whither ?" asked the gentleman. "To
America," was the answer. Upon the instant he proceeded
with them to the nearest town, furnished both with a new
suit of clothes, and then procured a passage for them in the
next ship that was to sail, taking care that they were packed
off. The Argyllshire gamekeeper last season caught one,
not in the same destitute circumstances, upon his master's
shootings there. Asking the gentleman what was to te
done with this one, the gamekeeper was told to let him alone
for this time, but that if he repeated the effence he was to
let him know, and he would then speak to him himself. We
