POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH DUBLIN.

Mr. SCULLY asked the Under Secretary to the Trea-
sury when the new arrangements would commence for
facilitating the postal and passenger communication be-
tween London and Dublin ?

Mr. LAING was understood to say that some im-
pediment had arisen in carrying out the arrangments in
question, but that there would be no unnecessary delay.

the prosperity of Italy and the peace of Europe, that the
people of Italy should be emancipated from the galling
tyranny of the Bourbon rule, and be free to determine their
own form of government, hereby expresses its hearty sym-
pathy with the heroic efforts of Generdl Garibaldi, and the
liberating army under his command."

restoration of the Itaiians to their national rights, it is
hereby resolved that a Subscription List be opened in aid of
these important objects.

baldi Fund be paid to the account of the Treasurer, George
Walter, Esq., at the London and Westminster Bank, Loth-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAT.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

USEFUL CAUTION—THE MUFFIN MAN A GAIN.-Ed-
ward Parsons, h fellow well known to the police, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering about Gros-
venor-square, with skeleton keys in his possession, for the
purpose of committing a felony.
A large white basket with a piece of green baize, similar
to those used by muffin-men, was produced, the prisoner
using this means of gaining access to the kitchens and thus
to the plate.
Sergeant Bason, 12 C, said that a little after 4 o'clock
the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner, who had the
basket produced on his arm, in front of the house 34,
Grosvenor-square, and as he passed him he observed a key
in his hand, but the prisoner noticing him, pretended to
be counting some halfpence. The prisoner then crossed
Davies-street and Berkeley-square, and when near 34,
Dav'..es-street, he dropped something down a cellar flap,
and on his stopping and asking what he had had in his hand,
he said only some halfpence, but on a search being made two
skeleton keys were found.
A butler at 11, Grosvenor-square, said he had seen the
prisoner trying the area gate, apparently with a key, but
thinking he had come from one of the tradesmen, took
little notice of him. He afterwards recognised him in cus-
tody.
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said the prisoner was a regular pro-
fessional hand, and he believed he had had 4 years' penal
servitude. A quantity of plate had been taken by persons
going down areas with baskets like that produced--repre-
senting themselves as muffin men, venders of china, &c.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for 3 months with
hard labour.

A few days since a man was committed from this court
for a similar offence.

TILE MOORS.

The Crieff correspondent of the &Scotsman of yes-
terday writes :—" The weather has been highly
favourable during the last few days, and good
snort is still enjoyed in all directions. On the hill
of Monzie, which has been let to the Hon. H.
Coventry, there were killed on Saturday last 50
brace of grouse, besides snipe and other game. At
Auchnafree, Mr. Peel shot in a few hours 15
brace. At Glenquaich, Glenogle, Edinample, and
other moors, the number of grouse bagged has also
been large. The prospects of partridge shooting,
especially on high grounds, have not been so good for
several years. The game which appears to have suf-
fered most with the heavy cold rains are pheasants,
which are very tender for the first two months after
being hatched. The young broods died in large
numbers with the variable cold weather, but black
game seem plentiful, and in good condition. Rab.
bits in this quarter are scarcer than they have been
for many years, owing to the immense numbers
which died from the severity of the winter. In
Glenturret alone upwards of 300 rabbits were found
dead in the course of a few days during the severe
weather.
The Bantr Journal reports ;-0
moors sportsmen have been, as ill the Banffshire
n former years,
highly successful. The results of the shooting
at Blackwater Lodge, the property of the Duke
of Richmond, have been as follow :
the Earl of March and Mr. Cox On the 13th
, 71,1 brace grouse
and 2 hares ; Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar and
the Earl of Coventry, 1031 brace grouse and 6
hares ; Sir Joshua Jebb, 341 brace grouse and 4
hares; and Lord Bingham, 30
brace. On the
14th and 15th Lord March and Mr. Cox had 149
brace grouse, 3 hares, 1 snipe, and 1 wild duck;
and, in a few hours on the 17th, 281 brace grouse.
On the 14th and 15th Prince Edward and Lord
Coventry had 114 brace grouse and 2 ducks; and,
in a few hours on the 17th
--, 33 brace grouse.
Lord Bingham and Sir Joshua jebb, on the 14th,
had 451 brace of grouse and 4 hares, Sir Joshua
being out only a short time ; and on the 15th Lord
Bingham had 40 brace. In Glenfiddich, on the 15th,
Col. Tyrwhitt had 62 brace. The party on the
Lagganauld moors have met with more than ordi-
nary success. Lord Bentinck, on the 13th, after
killing a fine salmon, bagged 1222 brace of grouse ;
on the 14th and 15th (the latter day out only a few
hours), 1372 brace; and on the 17th caught three
fine salmon. On the 13th, on the same moors, Mr. F.
Walker had 87 brace of grouse; and on the 14th,
17th, and 18th, 163 brace. Sir Joshua Copley, Bart.,

Lodge, and Mr. Jas. Steele, oa the 13th, had 652
grouse and 1 hare ; and on the 14th and 15th (not

had excellent sport. Gen. Brown and Col. Dela-
mann, in the Cabrach, on the 13th, had 70 brace
grouse. The party residing at Blairfindy Lodge,
on the 13th, had 170 brace, and
on the 14th Mr.
W. Caldwell had 61 brace and 1 snipe. •

A WISE DECTSION.—The merchants of Frankfort
are at present signing a declaration by which they denounce
public gambling-houses, and bind themselves to dismiss any
of their clerks who may play therein ; also not to employ
any one who may have been discharged for that offence.
The reason why they have adopted this measure is that a
railway is about to be opened which will place Hamburg
within 20 minutes of Frankfort.
