CAUTION TO SPORTSMEN.

Yesterday the following important caution to sports-
men was affixed at all the church and chapel doors
throughout the metropolis and vicinity, by order of the
Commissioners of Inland Revenue (Stamps and Taxes),
which will be fully carried out by the authority:—" That

oher engine for taking or killing game, or any woodcock,
snipe, quail, landrail, or coney, or assist in the taking or

fiction has just appeared from the popular pen of Mrs
Trollope, which will probably be considered one of her most
successful productions. The plot is ingeniously constructed,
and is of a most amusing and exciting kind, while the
sketches of individual character are unusually powerful,
brilliant, and caustic. It was well observed by the Quar-
terly Review that " Mrs. Trollope is beyond a doubt one of
the cleverest and most remarkable writers of the day. With
a quickness of observation which takes in the whole subject
at a glance, an insight into motives that seems instructive,
a keen perception of the ridiculous, and strong powers of
humorous delineation, she is the person of all others to ex-
pose pretensions or unmask hypocrisy." Never were these
excellent qualities in a satirical novelist displayed to more
advantage than in the instance of " Mrs. Mathews; or
Family Mysteries."

MURDER AT Famuz.—A shocking murder, accom-
panied with circumstances of most brutal atrocity, was com-
mitted on Thursday at West Woodlands, Frome, on a young
girl only 15 years of age. The name of the victim is Sarah
Watts, and at the time of the murder there was no one in
the house but herself, she having been left in charge of it b
her parents. From the appearances presented by the bo,•y
there can be little doubt that the murderer first committed
a capital felony on her and subsequently destroyed life ty
striking her with a stick or some heavy blunt Instrument..
He likewise stole from the premises before he quitted a bleak
cloth coat with metal buttons, a black cloth waistcoat, a
shawl, and other articles. No clue has yet been obtained to
his retreat, although suspicion attaches to a man who we
seen about the place in the course of the day. Aewar
of 501. has been offered by the authorities for _ r
the dis-
covery of the murderer. Active exertions are also being
made- by the police, and it is hoped he will not long escap
justice.
THE EAST RIDING ELECTION.—The High Sheriff
of Yorkshire has issued his proclamation appointing Tues-
day, the 7th October, for the election of a Member to supply
the vacancy caused y the death of the late Mr. Broadly.
As yet no candidate has taken the field in opposition to the
Hon. Captain buncombe; nor, with the strong Protectionist
influence ready to hack that Hon. Gentleman, is it likely that
