THE COMMISSIONERS OF Tlll3 NEW FOREST.—The
Commissioners appointed by the Government to ascer-
tain what is best to be done with the New Forest, have
just been visiting that locality. The movements of the
Commisstoners have been quite secret, and the forest
authorities are very nervous on their appearance. They
could not be more frightened if the ghost of William
Rufus bad been seen " under the greenwood tree." The
great difficulty in deciding what shall be done with the
forest property arises from the numerous rights which
are claimed over it by a multitude of persons. Even the
renters of farms in the distant parishes of Millbrook and
Fling are claimants of those rights. Major Freeman,
Who has recently had the management of the New
Forest, entertains an opinion that the forest privileges
have been usurped. There is, however, much &cu.
Fnentary evidence relative to them in existence; and it
is expected that their adjustment will give rise to end-
less litigation. Already the local lawyers are on the
qui vive. One advantage would arise from litigation,
and that is, it would elicit much interesting information
relative to the ancient and disputed history of the New
Forest.
BIRmiNGHAM CATTLE EIIIIBITION.—We have
ben requested to remind those of our readers who in-
tend to exhibit cattle, sheep, pigs, or poultry, at the
opening show at Birmingham, that the entries will close
on Saturday next, the 17th instant. The exhibition will
be held in a temporary building about 320 feet in length,
and 100 feet wide. There will be a separate compart-
ment for the poultry show, the floor of which will be
boarded. The building will be perfectly dry, and well
'ventilated.
There never was a hypocrite so disguised, but he
had /et some mark or other to be known by.—Eliza
