The importation of fat cattle from Scotland is on the in-
crease. On Friday the Dundee steamer arrived at Hore's
wharf, from Dundee, with a considerable number of first and
second cabin passengers, and an extensive cargo, consisting of
110:live fat cattle, four valuable horses, 80 boxes of river Tay
salmon, upwards of 10 tons of pork, beef and mutton, and
a large quantity ofmanufactured goods, &c. On Tuesday the
Duke of Wellington arrived from Aberdeen, with no fewer
than 125 live fat oxen, 20 tons of killed meat, and nearly 200
boxes of salmon.
The Police Gazette contains additional information touching
the incendiary fire upon the premises of Richard Lacy, Esq.,
at Braintree, Essex, on the Bth instant. A reward of 1001. is
offered for the discovery of the incendiaries ; and it is stated
further, that in addition to the rewards offered for the dis-
covery and apprehension of the authors of either of the three
fires at Roynelodge, on the 16th ult., in the Coggeshall-road,
on the 18th, and at Braintree, on the Bth inst., her Majesty's
pardon will be given to any accomplice (except only the actual
incendiary), for such information as will lead to the apprehen--
sion of the principals.
Her Majesty's surveying steam-vessel Fearless, Captain
Sherringham, commenced surveying the Southampton water
on Wednesday week, and has marked out mile stations for
placing buoys all down the southern coast of the river. There
has been no survey under Government orders since that of
WKenzie in 1783.
The Earl of Egmont, who has become an extensive landed
proprietor in Sussex by the purchase of the Cowdry estate,
qualified as a magistrate for the western division last week.

THE COLLIERS.—We are informed that most of
the Nottinghamshire, and several of the Derbyshire col-
lieries are doing very little work, as great numbers of
the colliers firmly continue iu the union. Of the col-
lieries in the neighbourhood of Derby, we hear
Shipley has resumed work—the colliers baying with-
drawn from the union—that Denby is working pretty
well, and at Kilburn° there has been no strike or stop-
page whatever. At Marehay very little is doing ;
Alorley Park somewhat unsettled ; and at West Dal-
lum going on well, having no men in the union. We
understand there has been a large meeting of the most
influential coal-masters in the counties of Derby, Not-
tingham, and Leicester, with those connected with the
North Midland Railways, at whiCh it was.determined not
to employ any colliers in the union, and to put it down
previous to entertaining the question of any regulation
in wages or prices of coals. Meetings of the colliers con-
tinue to be held in several parts of the county, but
nothing has taken place during the past week worthy of
public record.—Nottingham Review.
A YOUNG INCORRIGIBLE.—Mr. Higgs yesterday
held an inquest at the Ormond's Head, Princes-street, West-
minster, on the body of Henry Higgs, aged ten years, who
was reported to have been killed by a kick from his sister.
Mr. Beaumont, the house surgeon of Westminster Hospital,
stated that the deceased was admitted on the 19tfi of March,
suffering from great inflammation of the right knee, the
skin of which was abraded—abscesses formed all over the
body, and in the lungs and region of the heart, the conse-
quence of the inflammation of the leg, and he died from the
effects on Tuesday. When in the hospital, he stated that
his sister had kiCked him. Sarah Higgs, the mother, said
she resided at 19, Orchard-street ; the deceased, until his
admission into the hospital, enjoyed excellent health, but he
would be out all night, without shoes, in the midst of frost,
snow, and rain, and in the morning sheused to find him lying
on the stairs or in the outhouses. His father had but one
leg, and therefore could not run after him. On the 15th of
March he became quite delirious, and complained of his leg,
which was very much inflamed, and said his sister had kicked
him, but witness believed this was not true. When out,
which he was day and night, he was continually fighting,
and often got severely beaten. The Coroner and jury ob-
served there must have been gross neglect on the parents'
part to allow him to be out all night, which could be for no
good purpose, and they returned a verdict of "Died from
natural debility."
The Atherstone hounds are purchased by the gen-
tlemen of that hunt, but at present nothing is settled as to
future arrangements. Several are named as likely to take
the management of them. It is reported that Mr. Smith,
who lately bunted the Pytechly country, has the good wishes
of those subscribers who prefer sports mstead of ostentation
and parade, which often induces men who have more money
than brains, to undertake it for a year or two, when they
generally retire.
