MR. M'LAREN, M.P., ON COMMERCIAL MOR-
TALITY.—In addressing the members of the Scottish
Trade Protection Society, in Edinburgh, on Monday,
Mr. Duncan M‘Laren, M.P., said he hoped the experience
of the last few years would be a warning at least to the
present generation, and that we were not likely again to
have the railway mismanagement or cooking of accounts
which we had seen, and that still less would there be
new companies got up with names as decoys, as had too
often been the case, to lead the unwary into speculations
which ought never to have been started. He believed
that the number of distinguished persons who em-
barked in those new concerns, and set them ago ing was
very small. He believed that the same parties had been
paraded over and over again, and that lists had been
made up showing that directors in London were direc-
tors of more than a dozen companies ; and that they got
the sort of nickname of guinea hen or guinea pig, from
the fact that they went from one company to another
in one day, getting their names put down in the
sederunt, and getting their guinea—picking up in
that way some 10 or 15 guineas in a single day by going
the round of these companies. They could easily guess
how these companies were managed when such a sys-
tem prevailed. It was really the fault of the publio
themselves. The gullibility of the public was really
extraordinary. They saw some chairman advertised
who happened to be a lord, a baronet, a member of Parlia-
ment, a general, or an admiral ; and that led them to
take shares in these companies. It was amazing that
people should be so gulled by mere names as to ven-
ture their money on such hazardous speculations
and he hoped that the severe lesson that had been
taught would be one of a very lasting kind. He might
state that he had had such a horror of these things
that he had never bought a share in any company for
the last ten years.

DISCOVERY OF HAND GRENADES AT COLDBATIT-
FIELDS.—Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock,
James Stanlake, living at 1, King's-cross-road, on going
to his work at Mr. Birch's timber yard, at the corner of
Calthorpe-street, found concealed amongst the timber two
large hand grenades, both in heavy iron cases, and of a
spherical form. One of them was empty, but the other
was loaded and quite ready for use. There was a plug
inserted in the end, with an aperture for the fuse to be ap-
plied, but the fusee was missing. The empty grenade
showed appearances of having been discharged. How
they came there remains a mystery, but Stanlake went to
the Bagnigge-wells-road station, and placed them in the
hands of Mr. Superintendent Gerron, who immediately
communicated the finding of these missiles to the police
authorities at Scotland-yard. At present no clue has
been obtained as to the person who placed them where It
they were found.

ACCIDENTS WHILE HUNTING.—A sad accident
occurred in the hunting field, near Bristol, on Monday. In
the morning Lord Fitzbardinge's hounds mat at Almonds-
bury, and, having started two or three foxes, had a splen-
did run towards Iron Acton. Following them was Mr.
William Young, of Stock Farm, who rode a capital horse.
At Lattridge ;Hill there is a heavy drop fence, and the
horse in jumping it stumbled and fell upon Mr. Young. Ile
was carried into the house of Mr. Blanch, a relative living
at Lattridge, and it was found that he was so seriously in-
jured that medical aid had to be at once called in. The
unfortunate gentleman died in a short time from the
effects of the injuries be sustained. The horse was a well-
known steeplechaser. On Tuesday morning a serious
accident befell Captain Ogilvie while out with the Burn-
ham harriers, near Huntspill. His horse took a leap over
a ditch, and on landing on the other side slipped and fell,
rolling over its rider. Captain Ogilvie was at once picked
up, and removed to his residence at Puriton. When exa-
mined it was found that there was one or two broken
ribs, besides a very severe shock to his system. On Mon-
day, during a run with Lord Middleton's hounds from the
Scagglethorpe meet, a gentleman visiting Lord Middleton
at Birdsall House, Mr. Wood, was injured by his horse
falling at a fence, and was himself caught on the head by
one of the animal's feet. The case is not so serious as was
at first expected.
TRESPASS ON THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S
FISHERY.-At the Preston Sheriff's Court, held on Tues-
day, a jury was sworn to assess damage in a case in which
the Duke of Devonshire was plaintiff, and four fishermen,
named respectively William Bird, John Bird, Wm. John-
son, jun., and John Hall, were the defendants. The alle-
gation was that the defendants had committed trespass by -
fishing in a fishery belonging to the Duke of Devonshire,
extending from the foot of Windermere to Morecambe
Bay ; and this they virtually admitted by not entering
an appearance against the writ, so that the jury were
only called upon to assess damages, in order that, if neces-
sary, an injunction might be obtained to prevent the de-
fendants again taking fish within the limits mentioned.
William Robinson, fisherman, living at Flookboronght
said he had been in the habit of taking fish for the Duk°
of Devonshire within the limits mentioned for four years,
and had known the district all his life. He knew the
defendants well. They had never fished before last year,
and then they took urge quantities—as much ,as O 5
.
weight at a draught. The river contained morn fish last
year than in any previous year he had known, but fewer
fish were naught. The defendants were fishing nearly
every day during the season. They used the draw set
et
and he should think they took 400 fish, the average
t:,
which would be 101 b., so that they actually caught abo
4,' 001 b. weight The average price was ls. per lb. Tyr
Thomas Rawlinson gave corroborative evidence, and said
was
quantity taken for the Duke of Devonshire 64;
3,615f1b. in 1865, 2,118i1b. in 1866, and in
