neon to preserve one, she overlooked another, her strength
failed her, she sunk down, and with a mistaken affection,
endeavouring to shelter all, she extended a fatal protection
—for all three perished fro•n suffocation. This is an
event deeply deplored by the interesting artist, who. from
this progeny, had undoubtedly calculated on presenting to
the public some remarkable phenomena in the science of
rearing and educating animals fern nature.
PICKERING, the bookseller, in Chancery-
lane, is in the possession of nearly two hundred original
Autograph Letters and Poems of ROBERT BURNS, many
of which have never been published. The whole were
evidently unknown to Dr. CURIE, Mr. CROMEK, Mr.
LOCKHART, or any of the biographers or editors of the
works of BURNS. Several of the poems appear to have
been written towards the close of life. They are full of
genius and eccentricity.

At the Westminster Sessions held on Friday,
Aug. 31, a prisoner was put to the bar charged with
stealing two wine-glasses from a gin-shop in Picket-street.
Policeman—He was very tipsy at the time he did it.
CIIAIRMAN—It seems he bad a glass too much !

The Wigan Branch Railway will be opened
this day. The inter-communication in Lancashire by
means of the railways is rendered more complete every day.

BY DESCENT.—A legal gentleman, who had
a beautiful horse, presented it to a friend, because it was
restive, and had thrown him frequently, and he thought
his friend was a better 'equestrian than himself. G. R.
met the friend a few days after, and having admired the
animal, inquired where he bought it? " No," was the
reply; " I had it given me, because it threw its former
master. "" Oh," replied the querist, " then you surely ac-
quired it by descent."—World of Fashion.
THE HARVEST.—The heavy rains during
the past week have much retarded the progress of the har-
vest in this neighbourhood, but we do not hear that the
corn is likely to sustain any material injury should the
weather clear up in a few days.—Halifax Express.
BRADFORD.—On Thursday this market was
unusually brisk ; there was a great demand for fine goods,
and for lower fabrics : the supply was insufficient. Prices
are looking a little up, and our stuff merchants have had
a very busy week.--Manchester Guardian.

At the fair at Carlow, on Monday, fat cattle
fell from 51. to 41. a beast, owing, it is supposed, to the
clause in the Customs Act admitting the importation of
foreign beef.

STATE OF TRADE.—The present condition
of trade in general is languid. The woollen trade has
been very much so for some months past, and there is no
appearance of a speedy revival. The cloth markets at
Leeds and Huddersfield last Tuesday were perhaps a shade
better, but still there was comparatively very little busi-
ness done, and the prices realized prevent us from noting
an improvement. Bradford market too, last Thursday,
was pretty well attended by stuff merchants, but they
were evidently not much disposed to become purchasers;
on the contrary, we are assured that their attendance
lately has been more for the sake of observation, than for
the purpose of transacting business. The cotton trade in
Liverpool and Manchester during the last week has been
very fluctuating, but the aggregate of the sales effected
may be estimated at more than an average.—Halifax
Express.

Partridge shooting commences on Saturday
next. The present is considered to have been one of the
finest breeding seasons ever remembered. In those parts
of the country where there was a stock of old birds left,
the covies are very large, and the birds uncommonly strong
on the wing. Excellent sport is therefore anticipated.
Hares and pheasants are also very numerous this year.—
Newcastle Courant.

The result of our inquiries respecting game
has been that partridges seem to he more plentiful than
they have been for years. The breed of hares is good.—
Pheasants had given a good promise some weeks ago, but
have been rapidly declining in several preserves, owing to
some disorder, in which whole nides appear to have been
the victims. The reports from the grouse country are un-
satisfactory, at least from several of the districts from
which we have received information. A terrible mortality
has for some time prevailed, in two or three districts, so as
to alarm the gamekeepers for the preservation of the stock.
Leicester Herald.

DESTRUCTION OF GAME IN THE METRO-
PoLIs.—A correspondent informs us that within these
few weeks there bas been a general and enormous decrease
of all descriptions of game in the Regent's Park, which,
a short time ago, abounded in it, particularly hares and
pheasants. The keepers belonging to the Park attribute
the sudden disappearance to some of the numerous persons
who, at break of day, bring in milking cows, belonging
to several cowkeepers in the vicinity, to graze in the Park,
and who return for them late in the evening. At these
periods great facility is, of course, afforded for the capture
or destruction of the game. The present scarcity is a
great disappointment to the visitors of the Park, who ex-
perienced much amusement from witnessing so great a
novelty as game scampering about, it may be said, in the
heart of the metropolis. The keepers have received strict
orders from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to
endeavour to detect the offenders, against whom, if ap-
prehended, the highest penalties of the Game Laws will be
enforced.

The wool trade at Leeds, we understand, is in
a very curious state at present, and shows that operation is
going on which does not precisely meet the eye. Wools
are actually selling for more money in London than in the
West Riding of Yorkshire; yet the manufacturers here
complain, and justly, we believe, that they cannot make
any profit by their goods, and that the raw material must
come down ; of this, however, there appears to be no
prospect, for the imports into London are certainly
not
two-thirds of what they were last year up to themiddle
of the present month of August ; so that if the demand for
goods should increase prices must also increase.
THE WOOL TRADE.—This being the sea-
son for the commencement of the arrival of new colonial
and foreign wools, a good deal of interest is attached to
the wool trade. During the past week there have been
two public sales of wools, forming the commencement of
a series of declarations. The wools already received from
Australia and Van Diemen's Land, exhibit marked symp-
toms of rapid improvement in the quality and condition of
the produce of our colonies, and a strong desire was ma-
nifested by the manufacturers to purchase. On Thursday
and Friday the sales took place, and in the whole 1,700
bales were offered, and the whole were sold. The attend-
ance of the manufacturers from various parts of Yorkshire,
the West of England, &c., was numerous. The New
South Wales wools offered on Ti ursday were the frnest
samples, and a portion was sold at the high price of
2s. 7.1. per lb. The lower sorts went from Is. 2d. up
to 2s, sd. per lb., according to quality. At the sale on
Friday the advance of the previous day was maintained,
and the quotations obtained averaged from 2d. to 3d. per
lb. higher than at those obtained at the last public sales in
July. In the whole, 1,523 bales of New South Wales
wools, 164 bales of Van Diemen's Land,3l bales of Ger-
man, 26 bales of Portuguese, and a few bales of Smyrna
wools were disposed of. The arrivals from Australia and
Van Diemen's Land, as well as from Germany, have been
large, and further sales have been declared, amounting al-
ready to nearly 2,000 bales. From Germany the import
of wools has not been very large this season. An im-
provement in the woollen trade is generally anticipated.
MURDER IN TIPPERARY.—DUBLIN, AUG.
30.—A man named Wituasr SHEA was murdered in a
most barbarous manner on Saturday afternoon in a public
house at the Cross of Ardmayle, about three miles distant
from Cashel. The unfortunate man had been employed
on that day in distraining for rent on part of the lands of
Ardmayle, and met with no opposition, as the form of law
merely was gone through, and no stock or. furniture was
removed. SHEA, accompanied by the bailiff, afterwards
proceeded to the public-house, where they were joined by
one of the distrained tenants, named CHEACII, and were
sitting over some whisky when two persons in disguise
appeared in the appartment. One of them was attired as
a female, with the face marked with black lines, and the
other had hay-ropes twisted round his head, neck, and
body. One of the assassins called upon SHEA to kneel.
The instant be did so both fired at his heart. He never
uttered a word after. The monsters then applied the butts
of their guns to his head, which they broke in pieces.
There is a forge within a few perches of the public-house
in which it is stated there were seven men at the time of
the murder; but neither they nor RYAN'S family were
willing to give any information to the police, who soon
came from their barracks, a short distance from the scene
of the murder, as to the route of the assassins. An inquest
was held upon the mutilated body on Sunday, when the
following verdict was given The deceased came by
his
death in consequence of two gun-shot wounds and °tilt r injuries,inflicted by persons unknown."
