GAME PROSPECTS OF THE SEASON.----Young
grouse have been for some time upon the wing ; as, however,
the weather was particularly unfavourable during the breeding
ke,ason in Auril, it is feared the birds wilt -hot be abundant.

miedle of June, and as a month must elapse from that tinge
before the young are able to fly, it is impossible just yet to
speak with absolute certainty as to numbers. The two last
months, however, being dry and warm, were particularly fa-
vourable to laying and incubation, and abundant coveys of par-
tridges may be expected. A cold humid atimsphere is
highly unfavourable to the propagation of these bird=, and if
rain falls in such quantities as to fill the ditches, and cause
the rivers and streams to overflow, general destruction cannot
fail to ensue. But this has not been the case during the pre-
sent season, which, on the contrary, has been remarkable for
its dryness. Pheasants arc affected by the weather in the same
way as partridges, but not to such an extent, since they fre-
quently retire to woods and plantations for the purpose of
breeding; it is probable that they also will be plentiful. The
quantity of rain which fell in the early part of the Spring
caused some destruction among the young hares, many of
which were foand dead in the low, inundated districts; in the
higher ones they did not of course sustain any injury, and if
leverets are scarce, it is to be apprehended that it arises rather
from human depredation than the weather. The market is now
by law open for hares all the year round, and from the begin-
ning of March to the present time leverets could be purchased
in all parts of the kingdom, and that at a very reasonable price.
The market being always open has given full stimulus to the
exertions of the poacher, and it is to his efforts that the scar-
city of the animal in the fields must be attributed.—Chelten-
Item Chronicle.

STRANGE DISCOVERY.—About three weeks ago,
while a number of boys were amusing themselves in searching
for rabbit burrows on the north-east range of Arthur's Seat,
they noticed, in a very rugged and secluded spot, a small
opening in one of the rocks, the peculiar appearance of which
attracted their attention. The mouth of this little cave was
closed by three little pieces of slate stone, rudely cut at the
upper ends into a conical form, and so placed as to protect
the interior from the effects of the weather. The boys
having removed these tiny slabs, discovered an aperture about
twelve inches square, in which were lodged seventeen Lilli-
putian coffins, forming two tiers of eight each, and one on a
third just begun ! Each of the coffins contained a miniature
figure of the human form cut out in wood, the faces in par-
ticular being pretty well executed. They were dressed from
head to foot in cotton clothes, and decently " laid out," with a
mimic representation of all the funeral trappings which usually
form the last habiliments of the dead. The coffins arc about
three or four inches in length, regularly shaped and cut out
from a single piece of wood, with the exception of the lids,
which are nailed down with wire sprigs or common brass pins.
The lid and sides of each are profusely studded with ornaments
formed with small pieces of tin, and inserted in the wood with
great care and regularity. Another remarkable circumstance
is, that many years must have elapsed since the first interment
took place in this mysterious sepulchre, and it is also evident
that the depositions must have been made singly, and at con-
siderable intervals—facts indicated by the rotten and decayed
state of the first tier of coffins and their wooden mummies, the
wrapping cloths being in some instances entirely mouldered
away, while others show various degrees of decomposition, and
the coffin last placed, with its shrouded tenant, ace as clean
and fresh as if only a few days had elapsed since their en-
tombment. As before stated, there were in all seventeen of
these mystic coffins ; but a number were destroyed by the boys
pelting them at each other as unmeaning and contemptible
trifles. None of the learned with whom we have conversed
on the subject can account in any way for this singular fan-
tasy of the human mind. The idea seems rather above insa-
nity, and yet much beneath rationality, nor is any such freak
recorded in the " Natural History of Enthusiasm." Our own
opinion would be—had we not some years ago abjured witch-
craft and demonology—that there are still some of the weird
sisters hovering about Mushat's Cairn or the Windy Gowl,
who retain their ancient power to work the spells of death
by entombing the likenesses of, those they wish to destroy._

COTTON MANUFACTORIES AT NEWCASTLE.
--
A meeting was held on Saturday, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
of merchants and other inhabitants interested in the trade of
the town, to consider the propriety of establishing cotton-
mills in that neighbourhood. It appears to have been often a
possessing so

manufactories ' • but this may be in some measure accounted for
by the generalpopular feeling in favour of coal mines. The
time, however, seems now to have arrived when the shores of
Newcastle will be ornamented by docks, warehouses, railroads,
and manufactories of every description. Three things may
be regarded as of primary importance in the successful prose-
cution of manufactories—viz., water-power, fuel, and iron.
Wherever these exist in combination, and where they arc
abundant and cheap, machinery may be manufactured and put
in motion at a small cost. True it is, Newcastle has not very
great waterfalls fur propelling machinery, like the streams
that descend from the hills in the neighbourhood of Blackburn
and Salford, but they have sufficient for many purposes ; and
the cheap rate at which they have coals, will be found to more
than compensate for the expenses of engines and boilers. The
iron they have alio on the spot. The female portion of the
families of the colliers, and many other families, might be,
advantageously employed in these establishments. Resolutions
were adopted at the meeting to the effect that it was desirable
to establish cotton and woollen factories at Newcastle, and a
Committee was appointed to obtain the most accurate infor-
mation on the subject. _ • .•
