Thomas Grant, who was remanded from Thursday on
a charge of stealing a quantity of valuable plate from

" Now comes in sweetest morsel of the night, and
we must hence and hive

"As I came ah:ng,
I met and overtook it dozen captains,
Bareheaded, sweating, knovkilig, at the taverns,
And asking every one for Sir Jdi it kalstatt.."
The mandates of the Ministerial and Oppi.Aiknt leaders
in the House of Commons, to appear at St. git'Alelils on
the 19th instant, must have encountered on the g.° ti, Of,
sporting Members of Parliament a similar spirit o+
mutinous obedience. Thursday the 12th of August,
" grouse shooting begins," Friday 20th August, "black-
cock shooting d?egins ; Wednesday Ist September,
" partridge shooting begins :" in the midst of these red-
letter ,days, to see inscribed " Thursday 19th August,
Parliamentary speech-making begins," is mortification
enough to try a saint. It is barely possible for those
who have lingered on the moors to catch a few flying
shots on the 12th, to reach London by the time Parlia-
ment sits, with an appetite stimulated, not satiated.
The sportsman will fall asleep in the House on the 19th,
and dream of the breezes that sweep the moor, 'and the
crow of the black-cock as he springs from the heather, and
the whistle of his wings Ais h4rs4ps down the wind ; and a
roar of " hear, hear rv.kilt.;,:atvaNen him to a stifling at-
mosphere, and Bude liihtqiinlOntioninable speeches.

stopping to moralise—"-ThOhegrous4ught to have been

has sent them here as a • privatft Specutation of his own."
The crack shots of the Conservative sifie have some corn-
pensatien in the prospect of victory, but it is hard upon
the Whigs to leave their sport for assured defeat. It
would nothing surprise us to learn that the attractions of
ehe Moors hive diminished the Ministerial minority by
4o'len votes. To strut in the circles of London as
" the season," requires .no great stretch of
but t.o leave grouse and partridges
^l to dying for one's country.

but that they must be fresher than the last. The prose-
cutor said that was quite impossible. The observation
removed all idea of suspicion that there was anything
wrong, and the prisoner desired the account of what the
pigeons came to to be made out and given to him. The
pigeons and bill were then delivered to him, and he went
away. Next evening the prisoner paid another visit, and
said. that he wanted two nice fowls for Mr. Pleydell, but
they must not be quite so dear as the last. No doubt
whateVer being entertained of the integrity of the lad,
the fowls were trussed up and given to him, It was
since, however, found that the whole was a deception.
