THE MOORS.

PERTTISUIRE.— Sportsmen could not have obtained a
day more favourable than the 12th for their first opera-
tions, and the success that has attended some of them
shows that they must have been diligent in improving
the favourable opportunity. The birds are represented
as being as strong as they were ever seen at the season
of the year ; and, on the whole, the sport has been
reckoned as good as could be expected.
INVERNESS.—In this quarter sportsmen found the
12th all that could be desired. Tape-worm, we are
sorry to learn, is prevalent this season—fatal to the
birds in some moors; on others it is only suspected,
from the grouse being less plump than usual. The de-
mand for shootings continued to increase as the 12th
approached.—lnverness Courier.
STIRLINGSHIRE.—On account of the previous rains,
the grounds were uncommonly wet, and the birds, al-
though not scarcer than last year, wild, would not allow
a near approach. The sportsman had thus to be con-
tented with single birds, and the numbers bagged were
not numerous.—Stirling Journal.
AYRSIIIRE.—In consequence of the soaked state of
the grounds, wherever the heather was burned or short,
the birds took instantly in packs to the low grounds,
where they were seen in flocks of from twenty to fifty.
On such moors or hills the best shots had no chance; and
we have notice of several parties of two each, some of
which never burned powder, and others that got only a
brace or so each, afier hard fagging. On strictly protected
grounds, owing to the wetness, the birds, though more
plentiful, were also wild. In the vicinity of Barrhill, on the
confines of Ayrshire and Galloway, game is abundant,
and sportsmen are enjoyin, much better sport than
was anticipated. On the 12th August, one gentleman,
along with a gamekeeper, on a single farm of no great
extent, bagged 40- brace. Another sportsman, on the
same day, bagged 12r brace. The birds, however, are
in general mach inferior in quality to those of last year.

THE BEY. JAMES FORMBY V. THE GRAVESEND AND
110e/IriTER. RAILWAY COMPANY.-..1'11e dispute between the
Rev. J. Formby and the Gravesend and Rochester Railway
Company was brought to a conclusion about a month ago.
It will be recollected that in the month of October
last some labourers of the company were brought before
the Mayor and magistrates of Rochester for cutting down
seine trees, the property of the reverend gentleman,
when the parties were fined, and it was afterwards settled
that all matters in dispute between the parties should be
submitted to arbitration. The wall which the company
had built for the Rev. Gentleman, who had given some
land up to the company for the purpose of making a coach
road from the station at Frindsbury, the award ordered,
that as it was not built properly it should be
taken down and rebuilt, which accordingly has been
done, and in addition a gateway of the Reverend
Gentleman's has been blocked up by the company, by
placing a nine-inch wall between the piers of the gates.
which has much annoyed Mr. Formby, and as the work-
men had been found to have done some damage to the
gates, the subject was brought before the Mayor and magis-
trates of Rochester, on Saturday, the 2d inst., and John
Parkes and John Ashdown, bricklayers, were charged with
wilfully and maliciously damaging and spoiling two gates,
and two piers thereof belonging to the Rev. Mr. Formby,
which, under the Wilful Damage Act subjects the of-
fenders to the penalty of 51. Mr. W. Hayward appeared for
the Rev. complainant, and Mr. Wickham for the defendants,
who pleaded not guilty. Mr. Hayward, in opening this
case, said his client had acted Orough all the proceedings
from first to last with the greatest forbearance, and was
about to enter into a brief history of the long pending
disputes between the parties, when the Bench observed
that they had nothing to do with any dispute between
the Rev. Mr. Formby and the Canal Railway Company, that
took place six months ago. Evidence then was given by
Mr. Formby's gardner, that the two defendants were o.n
Saturday, the 15th, building a wall between the piers of his
master's gateway. The gate was painted, and is his
smeared over with mortar. The damage dorii nt,ay be 11.. or
5/. On the part of the defendants, Mr. George art!, an
in-
dependent gentleman, living at Dartford, deposeAl cpat
gave orders to stop up the gate. and it was done accorC'oF
his instructions. The bench convicted the defendants, Gq.
damages, and costs 14s.
NIN'ET V. SECOND HIGHLANDERS.--'The head-quartorC
division of the gallant 92d Highlanders, under the command
of Lieutenant-Colonel M'Donald, marched into this city on
Thursday, en oute from Belfast to Enniskillen, to relieve the
26th Camerenians, ordered to Dublin from that garrison.
The men were billeted through the city for the night and
proceeded on their march on Friday morning. The regi-
ment is composed of fine soldier-like athletic young fel-
lows, and the band is one of the best, it is said, its
the service. Our Belfast contemporaries express great re-
gret at the departure of the gallant corps from that garrison,
as their conduct, while quartered there, was moat regular id
exemplary. It is on the march that the irregolaritioal,fr

SKETCHES of TRANSATLANTIC LIFE.

By Captain LEVINGE.
" This is one of the pleasantest books of travels we have read
for many a day —full of curious facts, vivid impressions, judizious
remarks, and well-told stories. Captain Levinte sees everything
that is to be seen, and shoots at er angles for everything that is to
be killed or caught (from a moose or salmon to a colonial beauty)
in or about the Canadas; races through the United States, rifle, rod,
sketch-book, or note-book in hand ; tries most kinds of transatlantic
life, and seems to seize intuitively on the traits or incidents best
fitted to throw light on manners, or convey a lively impression of a
scene ."—Esaintn er.
