BERKELEY'S ENTIRE.—Mr. Grantley Berkeley, in
his evidence before the Game Committee, says, " If the
prosperity and happiness of the farmer is to be con-
sidered, and he is to be a farmer, and not half farmer,
half sportsman, half poacher, and half game dealer, the
less he meddles with spot ting rights the better." Would
the Hon. Member tell us how to combine such a quantity
of half-and-half into one body ? or would his celebrated
" punch on the head" reduce a man 'to the vulgar frac-
tion of four halves ?—Punch.
ST. MICHAEL, Coueletun.—A vestry meeting was
held yesterday in this opulent parish, for the purpose of
electing a vestry clerk, in the room of the late Mr. Wm.
Baker. Mr. Henry Hoppe was one candidate, and Mr.
Saxton, a brother-in-law of the late Mr. Joseph Somes, the
other. There was a spirited contest, which ended in the
election of the former, by a majority of 25 votes.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—The following extract of a
letter from Mr. Gabriel, R.N., dated " Dundrum, Sun-
day," appears in the Newry Telegraph of Tuesday :
" According to promise I let you know how things are
progressing with the Great Britain. Thursday's work
has finished her. Mr. Bremner has failed, as I antici-
pated,
in his breakwater, which was entirely washed
away ; the sea made a clean breach over her, and swept
away several skylights on deck ; the ship filled with
water to such an extent that the cabin doors and bulk-
heads are nearly all washed into the holds and about
the decks ; the promenade deck was covered with water;
in fact, you might almost say she filled, for every one on
both thwafot
board bad to fly to the upper deck, and there wait till
errwarardn oauntdofaflzr

towards Tyrella watch-house again. Mr. Bremner has
given her up, and they at length are going to take the
masts out of her, together with her engine. I have not
yet examined her bottom, but intend doing so to-morrow;
if all I hear is correct, lam afraid she is gone. She
was pitching at times as much as three feet."

GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR 251. ASlDE.—Yestert-.
day afternoon, the half mile running match,
Harvey,betweende
Common.
At the start Harve
got the lead, which he kept to the half distance h.
; i.s
opponent, who had been lying behind, now came up, an.i.
took the lead. Williams kept a head the remaining dis-
Loanswa
cid e o or"
vvnddotance, and went in the winner by 25 yards. The half
'o andrth

and three seconds.
EXPEDITION• OF GENERAL PLORES.—Referring to
a paragraph which appeared in The Sun a few day s
since, as to the seizures of the ships Glenelg, Monarch,
and Neptune, we understand the Lords of the Treasur:,r
have directed the legal condemnation of the vessels to
be proceeded with, and that Mr. Forsyth bas receive( I
the orders of the Board of Customs to bring the Glenel;
from Gravesend to London as soon as the state of tht
tide will admit.
Coax BARR.—A vessel, from Tangier, has brought;
an entire cargo, consisting of 128 tons weight of cork:
bark, or the bark of the cork tree. This article is.
usually imported in large quantities from Spain, and,
other of the Southern States of Europe; but is, we.
think, unusual from the empire of Morocco, in which
the port mentioned is situated, and therefore may be
particularly noticed.
A letter from Rouen says Since August, 1,
forty six vessels have entered this port, laden with corn,
from Brittany, and thirty-one from London with si-
,niter cargoes. On an aver Age, each had on board on,.
hundred thousand kuogrammes. Advises have been
received from London of twenty other vessels with corn
having left for the Seine.
