port, and the intention of the Government to support
him it his conduct were impugned, it he had any ;other
letters expressing their approval ?
Col. Tulloch said he had, but he should prefer looking
over his letters before he answered that question.
The Court adjourned at 3 o'clock till. 11 o'clock to.

6 bo 1 wanted about Cannobie
Yellow Jack and the Coroner —The announcement
which was made relative to the sale of these two horses
was premature. Negotiations are, we believe, still
pending ; but we have good authority for stating that,
should the bargain be closed, neither of the horses will
leave gr. Howard's stable until after the Derby.
The Burwell Stakes.—The recent ',decision which
awarded the race to Cannobie is likely to be brought
before a legal tribunal. The Messrs. Weatherby have
been served with a notice by the owner of Saraband not
to pay the stakes to the owner of Cannobie.
Tattersall's, Saturday.—The subscription room will
be opened on Saturday for tho settlement of the New.
market accounts.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICRBILL.--ThiS bill 1143 been
brought down from the Lords. It requires the Poor-Law
Board every year to take measures to obtain from every
occupier of two statute acres of land (and above) in Eng-
land and Wales a return, referring othe lbt July in each
year, of certain particulars of information, including
the produce of the farul and the stock, &c. Abstracts of
these returns will be published periodically by the Board
of Trade. Any occupiers neglecting to fill up the blank
form which will be left at his house for the purpose
may be summoned before a justice of peace, by
whom the required particulars will, so to r peak, be
extorted ; the expernes of this proceeding will, of course,
be plid by the occupier. SJould the occupier refuse to
obey a summons,' or fail to give full particulars on exa-
mination before the justice, the latter may issue a war-
rant authorising tbe.collector of returns " to proceed to
obtain by other means the said particulars of infor-
mation," the " other means" including a personal in-
spection by the c'dlector of the lands and premises of the
refractory occupier. A fine of 2/. wid be imposed :on
occupiers n,-glecting to make, or making false returns.
