REFORMATION IN CLEANING CHIM-
NEYS.—The use of the PORTLAND PATENT SPRING
BRUSH and CHIMNEY-SWEEPING APPARATUS obviates all
the annoyance and inconvenience consequent upon the present dis-
gusting plan. By it a flue is completely cleansed without one
particle of soot entering the apartment. A short time ago
an experiment was made with this apparatus at the House of
Common, the success of which was complete. Sneets of writing
paper were placed upon the chimney-piece, and In various ether
parts of the room, and after the completion of the sweeping not one
particle of soot was discernible upon any of the sheets of paper.
To be seen at 69, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square.
N.B. The Proprietor is willing to grant licenses for the use of this
patent invention in the provincial towns of England.
Agents for the Metropolis are required.

CLOSE OF GROUSE SHOOTING.

CLOSE OF GROUSE SHOOTING.
The tenth of December legally ended the time for
shooting grouse, black-game, and ptarmigan ; but, this
rear. the elements, in an u.,usual manner, shortened the
season several days, by. smo:.thing over the wide expanse
of moor and mountain with a deep snow-storm ; so
deep that the sportsman determined to have a few brace
f!r Christmas could bare :y attain his aim by stalking
the birds—" impatient flouncing through the drifted
heaps," Previous to, and after the 12th of August,
complaints were rife that tape-worm bad spread far aid
near among the feathered flocks, and where coy ys were
not lessened by death they were generally lean and
under the usual size. Latterly,. there appears to have
been a complete recovery from this wasting disease : the
birds being plump and well-clothed with their glossy
plumage for the last two months. Judging from
returns given, during the shooting, in our paper,
as well as from the number of boxes sent south-
wards by the steamships and coaches, the season
'las been an excellent one for quantity ; and,
from the constant system of trapping, so universally
adopted, no year, can now be a failure, as the
numerous varieties of vermin, whose whote foot.l was
.:rouse. are kept within narrow bounds. We subjoin a
few notes from the game-books of our northern sports-
men, and for the present we bid them adieu, in hopes to,
find them return next year to " the land of brown heath'
--over the remotest parts of which their presence is
hailed with welcd.ne. At Glenmasarin, Mr. Clifton and
Captain Boyd had 400 brace. The Messrs. La Touche,
Dalmigavie, 580 brace. Mr. Robertson and Mr. Christie,
i nverfhasley, 700 head. The Auchinault party, Messrs.
Berwick., Jackson, Garde, and Power, bagged 80 brace.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—We have inquired into
the reports that Sir John Franklin had landed at the
Mackenzie River, and shaped his course to return
through the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company,
and found, as we suspected, that they are altogether
groundless, and the Hudson's Bay people know nothing
of any such movement. It is possible that the expe-
dition may have got through last summer, and Sir John
be on his way from Kamschatka to Petersburgh; and in
that case, we would not give up the hope of seeing him
till the close of the year. But it is more than probable
that they have not been able to get through last season,
which appears to have been very unfavourable to icy
navigation, and that they are again shut for the winter
so tar to the north as to prevent their communicating
with the establishments of the Hudson's Bay Company
on the farthest shores of the continent of America. If
so, we have no reason to entertain any fears for their
safety or ultimate success; but should we not hear of
them by the end of 1847, it would be time to take mea-
sures to send after them, which, however, we feel con•
tideut, will not be necessary, but that we shall have
good accounts of them long before that date.—Literary
Gazette.

Ross and Sons being fully determined not to be
" punched " down, even by that inimitable merry an-
drew, or " merry angry," Mr. Purch, beg to inform the
public that they intend killing an enormous bear on
Monday, the 21st inst., and exhibiting it on that and the
three following days, at their establishment, when any
one preferring it can have the fat cut direct from the
animal, thus ensuring its genuineness. For preserving
and strengthening the hair there is nothing equal to the
genuine bear's grease—Vide " Mr. Catlin's account of
the quantity used, and the length and thickness of hair
obtained by the North American Indians." Address,
Ryas and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London.
WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—On Saturday the eastern
footpath across this bridge was re-opened to the public,
and an intimation given that on or before the 24th inst.
the throughfaro for carriages would be thrown open as
formerly.
