Stamps and Taxes.

PENALTIES.—The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes
hereby give Notice, that every person taking, killing, or pursuing
Game without first obtaining a Certificate, incurs a penalty of 201.,
and is also liable to be surcharged in double the amount of the Cer-
tificate Duty.
Any person in pursuit of Game refusing, on being duly required,
to produce his Certificate or to permit the same to be read, or a copy
thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place
of residence, also incurs a penalty of 201.
GAMRKISEPICRS are desired to take notice that a Certificate at
the rate of 1/. ss. will not authorize any person to kill Game beyond
the limits of the Manor for which he is deputed ; and, in order that
a Certificate at such rate of Duty may protect a Gamekeeper,
it is requisite, not only that he should be deputed by some
Lord or Lady of a Manor or reputed Manor, but also that such
Deputation should be registered
with the Clerk •f the Peace, or
the Gamekeeper will be liable to be surcharged in double the
Duty of 3/. 13s. 6d, and also to be prosecuted by any common
Informer for the penalty of 201.
It is the intention of the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes
to publish in a separate List the names and residences of all persons
surcharged in double Duty for sporting without Certificates.

THE LION AND THE GIRAFFE.--•The death of
a cameleopard by a lion must be a remarkable sight. The
lion is said to lie in wait for his giant prey among the reeds at
a fountain, and when the giraffe stoops to drink, his enemy
springs on him, when the affrighted animal carries off his ter-
rible burden over the plain, the lion biting him all the while
till he sinks and dies.—Sir James Alexander's Expedition of
Discovery into Africa..

The Swiftsure, a steam-vessel running between
Hungerford-market and Greenwich, in passing under London-
bridge, on Saturday afternoon, knocked down her funnel,
which was not lowered in time to avoid the crown of the arch,
and it fell with a loud crash on the deck, carrying away the
!team-pipe, and causing other damage. The passengers were
in a state of great alarm, but luckily none of them sustained
any hurt.

THE BLACK RHINOCEROS.—The black rhino-
ceros, whose domains we seemed now to have invaded, resem-
bles in general appearance an immense hog; twelve feet and
a half long, six feet and a half high, girth eight feet and a
half, and of the weight of half a dozen bullocks ; its body
is smooth, and there is no hair seen except at the tips of the
ears and the extremity of the tail. The horns of concreted
hair, the foremost curved like a sabre, and the second resem-
bling a flattened cone, stand on the nose and above the eye ; in
the young animals the feremost horn is the longest, whilst in
the old ones they are of equal length, namely, a foot and a
half and more : though the older the rhinoceros the shorter
are its horns, as they wear them by sharpening them against
the trees, and by rooting up the ground with them when in a
passion.—Sir James Alexander's Expedition of Discovery
into Africa.
