MISCELLANEOUS.

A Wilts paper states that sheep-stealing is greatly on
the increase. Were rat-stealing also on the increase Sir
James Graham would stand a very fair chance of being
kidnapped.
Who is the English poet that the Puseyites ought
most to admire ?—Pope.
At a trial that took place yesterday in the Sheriff's
Court, for slander upon a Solicitor, the Counsel for the
plaintiff expressed his opinion that " some attorneys
were perfectly harmless !" We never heard of such at-
torneys, and would just as soon believe that some sharks
were harmless !
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cornwall is the first
heir-apparent to the Throne who has been born free of
the City of London. His father, the Prince, having been
some time since admitted a freeman of the Goldsmith's
Company, the young Prince obtains his freedom by
patrimony, and, being of full age at his birth, may take
up his livery at any time on paying his fees.
A meeting of the freeholders of the county of Ren-
frew was to be held yesterday to wee congratulatory

under the notice of the Queen the unprecedented dis-
tress prevailing in that district, bad given notice of an
amendment to that effect, which was to be opposed.

By a private vessel from Demerara papers to the 15th
of October have been received, from which we take the
Monthly Report of the West Coast and Bank District
Agricultural Society, eliding the 11th of September :
" Somewhat contrary to the usual routine of the sea-
sons the weather has been rainy ; this has caused the
canes cut to yield but indifferently ; it has, however,
been highly advantageous to the young cultivation, and
has afforded to the planter a prolonged season, to enable
him to supply fields which there is but too much reason
to suppose were, from peculiar causes, much neglected
last year.
" The labourers of many estates during the earlier
portion of the month worked very irregularly. The fer-
ment caused amongst them by the operation of the Rum
Ordinance had scareely. subsided ; they are still un-
settled, and are in many instances demanding an equiva-
lent for the rum now withheld under the recent ordinance.
" The reports received respecting immigrants are, on
the whole, highly satisfactory, both as to their general
inclination, labour, and their health ; in some in-
stances, however, they have shown an erratic disposi-
tion. The cause of it is not difficult to divine.
They are generally allowed some provisions, in some
instances one month's, gratis, on every estate they go
to ; having exhausted that indulgence on one estate,
the temptation is but too strong to try the same plan
on another, consequently much changing about is the
result. It is an evil of a temporary nature, however,
that carries its own remedy with it, consequently, little
weight is attached to the circumstance by the Society."
