DOVER HARBOUR. , . . ,lii:sl
In these days of improvements in all direc 611 s and, ol' ,:'- 1,1....57-:.:.,

content with restoring the fine old church of StliravY-- ' \-7----`
a very large cost, and adorning the town and neVitiMurlil SMaY
hood with new buildings of all classes, Dover will 03°11
possess a vastly increased and improved harbour. It f
was, indeed, at one time contemplated to make it a har-4
Lour of refuge, and it is well known that the Duke of [
Wellington (who, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, hag
at different times taken so active a part in matters con--
fleeted with the welfare and advancement of the town )
has ever been in favour of such a desirable object being
effected. The work, however, would be of so expensive asi
nature that nothing short of national means could hardl,r
hope to accomplish it. His Grace is understood to halo
remarked, " We will improve the existing harbour; but.
such a work as that must be done by the nation." Yet, ,
it appears, it is not likely Dover will be converted into a.
harbour of refuge ; but the town commissioners, it is:
declared, are determined to do all in their power to render
the harbour as useful and perfect as possible. It is
well known that at present it is not very good, yet it cart e
now accommodate ships of 500 tons. It is chiefly used
for sailing and steam-packets to and from France. Im-
mense sums have been expended upon this haven, from
tke period of Henry VIII. ; but it is so imperfectly
formed at the present time that a vessel coming in with*
a direct south wind would be driven against the walls, apt
there is neither room to turn nor for the ship gradually
to expend her force before reaching the extremity of
the docks. The harbour has been undergoing repairs of -
various descriptions almost constantly fur many years,
but, early in this summer, an extensive improvement:
and enlargement was decided upon and commenced that;
t is well calculated to remedy many of the most important,
objections now existing. Thus " the poor haven, such,
as it is " (rather derogatively termed in an old descrip-
tion thereof), is likely to be materially raised in the
rank and utility of harbours upon the southern coast of
England. It is to be so extended by another wing, as is
were, being added, that a vessel may enter in ful salt,
and have room to turn and come gradually to its stop-
page, an object that cannot now be attained. A large
piece of land to the east of the existing harbour and be-
tween it and the parade has been purchased for the pur-
pose of enlarging the docks, and gates are to be added.
Upon the land so appropriated stood, until quite recently,
building yards, houses, sze. There also remains as yet
upon the site (although they will be removed in the
course of the speedily-approaching alterations), a
battery, containing several cannon, and buildings ttlat
have been used as a magazine, guard-house, &c. A great
peition of the space to be converted to the enlargement
of the harbour is now in an advanced stage of excava-
tion, and some parts are already being walled in. I t
was originally intended to have wooden walls for this
addition to the haven, but a wiser, though more imme-
diately expensive, plan has been adopted, and stone is t,)
be used instead of the former more perishable material.
" Wooden walls" have fur many ages proved good de-
fences for old England ; but a harbour intended to en-
dure requires something more substantial. Some notion
of the important nature of these works may be formed
when it is mentioned that no less a sum than 100,0004
is proposed to be laid out upon them, in addition to the
large amounts that have been spent upon the docks during
the last few years. The time which has been specified
for the alterations to be completed is three years ; but, ex-
tending regard to the magnitude of the improvements, ant
the difficulties that are so often met with in like under-
takings, it seems more than probable that they may not
be finished until a somewhat longer period has elapsed.
The effect, even now, is advantageous, as it gives more
room in some portions of tke harbour ; but eventually it
cannot fail to be most important to Dover, in advancing
in no slight degree its prosperity as well as utility.—

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
/SOH THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The official returns of the National
Revenue for the year and quarter, made up to the
10th October (yesterday), will be ound in the usual
tabular form in another column. The results scarcely
warrant the inordinate praises which the Ministerial
journals pour upon Sir Robert Peel for his
skill in finance. The' increase in the Customs
department is designated by the Herald as
" enormous." Of this increase the " sliding-scale"
has the principal merit. That ingenious piece of mis-
chievous mechanism is as slippery as Sir Robert Peel;
and yields to atmospheric influences as certainly as he
does to expediency in the adaptation of his scheme of
Government to the ever-changing events of the age
and nation. The threatening aspect of the Spring
months, the long drought which prevailed, and the dis-
astrous effects upon the growing crops which were ap-
prehended, gave a stimulus to speculation. Large
quantities of wheat were imported, in the expectation
that high price would be realised. The genial change
of weather that took place just at the critical moment,
and which continued throughout harvest, until the
almost unprecedentedly abundant crops were safely
housed, was fatal to the hopes of the importer ; and,
by a natural operation, also deprived the farmer of
the advantages which, under a sound policy, a good
harvest would confer on him. To meet his engage-
ments the importer, who had speculated on the proba-
bility of a deficient harvest, was compelled to enter
large quantities of foreign corn for home consump-
tion, at 18s. and 19s. duty. This produced an ad-
vantage to the Exchequer of little less than a
million sterling. But this advantage to the na-
tional revenue has fearfully diminished the English
grower's legitimate profits. The foreign corn
poured into the market at the moment when
that of native production was ready to be sent
thither, and large quantities of which were com-
pelled to be sent and sold, to supply the farmer with
the means of meeting his engagements, caused a
fearful competition. Prices were reduced to an ex-
tent which has inflicted a positive loss on the Eng-
lish grower; and holds out to him a prospect of un-
remunerative markets during the year. From infor-
mation received from the best-informed sources, we
have reason to believe that the average price of sound
wheat for the next ten months will not be higher
than 475. At the present rents, and other charges
upon land, it is absurd for the landlords to expect that
the farmers will be able to pay the rents which are
" nominated in the bond;" or that labourers can be
employed on the land in numbers, and at wages,
which will ward off suffering and discontent from the
agricultural districts. The Government organs may
sound the notes of triumph on the " enormous in-
crease" in the Customs' receipts. Their masters know
better than to find satisfaction in a state of things
which will, most certainly, produce among their
already estranged agricultural supporters additional
reasons for denouncing the perfidy of Peel, and
for cursing their own folly for trusting in him for
" protection." His promises have proved fallacious—
not because of any settled purpose he had formed to
deceive, but because of the unsoundness of the system
on which they were founded. Sir Robert Peel's tin-
kering of the old sliding-scale, by which he " un-
settled everything, and settled nothing," has exposed
the hollowness of his professions ; and has caused
among the farmers a very general desire for a
fixed duty, as the only means of giving stability to
prices, and thus afford an opportunity of calculating,
with something like certainty, the amount of rents
they can pay for land ; the items of expense to
which they are subject in the process of cultivation ;
and the returns upon the capital they invest. At
present, the farmers are left to the mercy of cir-
cumstances which they are less than ever able
to foresee or control. 'While anticipating a fair
remuneration for their toil, they are victimised
by the operation of the very system to which
they were induced to look for an effectual check
upon the introduction of the foreign article. So
znuch for the "enormous increase" upon the Customs'
revenue, of which the Herald crows ! Take a million
from 1,723,165/., and the residue is not much to boast
• or. To the absence of speculation in corn in the pre-
ceding year, and to the activity in the speculators in
that just closed, must the increase be attributed. The
same veritable oracle keeps the deficiency in the
Excise upon the quarter wholly out of sight. " The
Excise, the index to the comfort of the people, presents
1-.lso its increase upon the year, 173,8981." But if
t' .e Excise he " the index to the comfort of the
people," then during the past quarter there mu
ilave be- n a diminution in those comforts ; for in
the Excise there has been a falling off in the quar-
ter's receipts of 5,600/. ; and this upon what is
called "the long quarter," which consists of five
(14ys more than is assigned to either of the three
- other quarters of the official financial year.
On this decrease, the Times remarks :—" A
trifling decrease is the Excise on the quarter is
to be ascribed rather to growing habits of tern-
psrance in the lower orders, than to any diminution
of means. It will bear, in fact, no other construction,
for activity reigns in almost al! the departments of
f.-ade, and the wages of labour in the maaufacturine-
districts have probably doubled in amount within the
past year." But if "growing habits of temperance
i:t the lower orders" have induced increased abstinence
from ardent spirits, with activity in trade, and increased
wages, there would have been an increased consump-
ti )n of the real and substantial comforts of life. Tea,
sugar, soap, and such like articles, of which the
lower orders are the principal consumers, would have
been purchased in greater quantities ; and thus what
had been lost to the revenue by decreased con-
sumption of ardent spirits, would have been more
than compensated by the increase upon the prin-
cipal articles of consumption we have named. The
fact is, that the stimulus given to manufactures
by the opening of China to our merchants has
somewhat subsided. The manufacturing districts
are still the seats of much distress, occasioned by the
lack of full employment in some of the staple commo-
dities. Though in the exhibition afforded by the
official tables of revenue there 'is much cause for
gratitude, there is nothing to justify boasting—much
less is there anything to warrant the slightest cessa-
tion from legitimate exertions to obtain that much-
desired abrogation of the existing restrictions upon
commerce, without which the same consequences will
lie entailed on our manufacturers and merchants, and
the same suffering poured out upon our labouring
population, which have formerly resulted, at intervals,
from an " insane and cruel policy."
STANDARD.—The increase in the revenue upon
the year, as compared with the year ending October
10, 1843 (itself a year of increase), amounts to the
great sum of 1,395,349/. The increase upon the
quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter
of last year, to 520,9441. This, however, is but
an inadequate index to the rate of improve-
ment, for, setting aside the miscellaneous or casual
payments (such as the Chinese ransom, &c.,
1,375,0001.), for both years, the increase upon
the regular constant revenue would be upwards of
two millions three hundred thousand pounds sterling.
The net revenue of the year amounts to 50,741,622/. ;
and of this no less than 20,243,.5051. is from the Ctn•
toms—an increase in this department alone of
1,723,1651. since last year • such has been the rapid
improvement of foreign trade, such the effect of the re-
ductions of the tariff. The improvement in the Excise
upon the year has not been so great, but it has been con-
siderable (173,8981.), and on the quarter there has
been a trifling decrease, 5,6601. This has been as-
cribed to the temperance move'nent, we think, with-
out reason, for though the happy movement in clues•
tion may, and probably does, operate generally to
prevent an increase in the Excise, there is no
ground for supposing that it has been more
active in the last than in any of the other
three quarters of the year. it is much more
natural to account for the trifling decrease in
the last three months, by imputing it to the late-
ness and perhaps deficiency of the barley har-
vest, which must have seriously affected the malt
trade, from which so great a portion of the Excise
revenue is derived. The year's increase upon the
Stamps amounts to more than 69,0001., upon the
Property-tax to 106,4131., upon the Post-office to
82,0001.—such is the state of the Revenue as com-
pared with last year ; but the just way in which to
appreciate the merit of that financial system, of which
it is the result, is to compare it with the state of the
revenue as the present Ministers found it three years
ago. This we may, perhaps, undertake to do here-
after.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 11.)
SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was in excellent re-
quest, and the rates previously established were fully
supported for all descriptions. The total quantity sold
amounted to 600 hhds, including a public sale of 100
hhds 14 trcs of Barbadoes Sugar, which went at former
rates for middling good and fine sorts, but prices were
again 6d per cwt lower for inferior; low soft footy went
54s to 55s 6d, middling ditto 56s 6d to 58s 6d, good 59s

mid brown 48s 6d to 495, and mid 45s 6d ; some of the
piles appeared to be tainted with musk.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon, the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 5,597 bags ;
the trade seemed little inclined to purch ,se, and the
biddings were languid, a part only sold at prices .6d

MOLASSES.-There has been rather more business
transacted in West India, and prices have been sus-
tained; Barbadoes fetching 255, and Antigua 23s to 24s
per cwt. The value of East Indies 14s to 16s, but there
has again been scarcely any business transacted. Im-

sent low rates.
COCOA.-This afternoon at public sale 43 bags of
Caracca Cocoa were sold at 31s 6d to 345, and one lot
very fine red 535. 12 casks of Cocoa Husks from
Leghorn went at 16s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.-Importers of West India are less inclined to
press sales this week, and have refrained from offering
any at auction. This afternoon there were three public
sales of Plantation Ceylon Coffee, amounting to 1,459
bags, nearly the whole found buyers, but at a de-
cline on former rates of 3s to 4s per cwt ;

ordinary Ceylon is 52s 6d to 535, but there are very few
inquiries.
TEA.-No public sale has taken place since this day
week, but some parcels will shortly be declared. Congou
has been only in limited request, 10d to 10id is the
value of common, and Ild to 11 4d per lb for good
common. In ordinary yellow leaf Twankay little bu-
siness has been done, and the stock being large
prices are drooping, is ld to is 2d accepted, but
in brightish leaf large purchases have been made at is
3d to 2s, and superior at 2s 2d and 2s sd. Scented
Orange Pekoe 3s 3d per lb. Pouchong from sid to 811
per lb. Souchong has been taken sparingly. Hyson at
12s7dto 2s 9d per lb. For Imperial and Gunpowder
stiffer rates in some cases are again paid. In Caper or
Young Hyson there is no variation. To-day the market
for Tea was in a quiet state, but in prices there was no
alteration.
SPICES.-This afternoon at pubic sale 380 bags of
Malabar Pepper were taken in at aid to 34d for half
heavy, and 42 bags of Penang filled from loose in ships'
hold at 2d, being above the value ; 16 i-brls of Jamaica

Preserved Ginger was taken in at ls 6d, Preserved
Oranges at is 10d, Citron and Chow Chow withdrawn.
Rust, BRANDY, AND I:IOLLANDS.--.There has been less
demand for Jamaica Rum this week, but holders remain
firm, and have obtained previous rates, the purchases
amount to 150 puns, 30 to 32 over proof, good quality at
4s to 4s 3d, and 35s to 36 over at 48 4d to 4s
611 per gallon. Demerara of strong quality is held

Bengals which passed the hammer partook also of this
improvement, which may be attributed to the large quan-
tity withdrawn to-day. Proprietors did not buy in a
single chest.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
CORONER'S INQUEST.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
SOUTH SHIELDS, OCT. 10.—After a minute exami-
nation of several other witnesses, the jury delivered the
following verdict :—" That the deceased was killed by the
N elson locomotive engine propelling a carriage, in which
was the said John Brown, to and against certain other
carriages, thereby causing his death, the engine being
the property of the Brandling Junction Railway Com-
pany. Deodand on the engine, 300 L" The jury also
expressed a strong opinion that the accident was the
result of gross negligence and mismanagement of the
agents of the Company.
Considerable interest was taken in this unfortunate
affair. Mr. Alport, the railway manager ; Mr. Pines,
director ; and Mr. Newton, solicitor for the Company,
were in attendance ; and the verdict was received with
expressions of satisfaction on behalf of the friends of
the sutiercrs.
Burrell, another passenger, has since died of his in-
juries, and Greenwell, Gamble, and Young, are still in
a precarious state.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—NONE NEED EH SICK ! READ
THE FOLLOWING CASE OF CURE BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
—Mrs. Jessie Anderson, living near the Fountain-bridge,
Edinburgh, suffered from lowness of spirits, sick head-
aches, dimness of sight, together with a want of strength
and appetite. Those s)mptoms were accompanied with
a cough and spitting of phlegm, and likewise much
windy spasms. No medicine had been of any service
to her, until a lady advised her to try "Holloway's
Pills," which gave her immediate relief, and in a fort-
night made her as well as well as ever she was in her
life. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at the Establish-
ment of Professor Holloway, 244, Strand (where advice
may bo had gres), and by almost all respectable vendors
of medicine throughout the civilised world.

LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 11.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-ISO USE.

Patrick Fitzsimmons, and Eliza, his wife, were
charged with having committed a desperate assault
upon Charles Taylor, a tailor, who lodged in their
house, in Greyhound-court, St. Mary Axe.
Taylor stated, that the male prisoner having
threatened to open his head with a poker or a flat-
iron he determined to leave the house, and he ac-
cordingly went to Mr. Fitzsimmons's apartments to
pay his rent. As soon as he tendered the amount,
the landlord and his wife insisted upon another week's
rent, and upon being refused, Mrs. Fitzsimmons
armed herself with a hammer and a knife, and Mr.
Fitzsimmons seized the leg of a chair, and both of
them went to work upon his head and body until he
fell. The fall, instead of satisfying the two assailants,
seemed to provoke them to still greater vengeance,
and while the female was pegging away at him with
the hammer, her husband danced upon his sides,
so that if a person who was passing, and heard
the noise of the hammer upon his skull, had not hap-
pened to interfere, he was sure deatl. would have been
the consequence. As it was, the promise to open
his head had been made good, for the hammer made
a very serious impression upon the buck and front
parts of his skull.
James Hall stated, in a very emphatic manner,
that if it had not been for his extraordinary exertions
the complainant would certainly have lost his life;
for the two prisoners were hammering and banging
at him in the most ferocious manner.

Aldermen WOOD and FARNCOMB, who sat upon
the occasion, asked Mr. Fitzsimmons what he had
to say ? The male prisoner—"Faith, I'll tell you all
about it. Why, then, it's he that threatened me many's
the time, and used to ax me out to fight ; but I said
No, says I; I've got a house full of childher, and I'm
sure it's not fighting them or me wants. Well, he
was always at me to see which was the best man ;
but he couldn't get me out any how, though he tore
my coat one day to ribbing. At last, I goes home on
Monday last, and I finds him kicking my wife on
the flure. Well, what was Itodo ? I wasn't going
to see her kilt, so I takes up the leg of the chair,
and I did give him a poulthogue, and then up comes
this body (Hall) and separates us.
Alderman WOOD—And what have you to say,
Mrs. Fitzsimmons ? Mrs. Fizsimmons—Oh, then,
faith, your Worship, if the man has got any mischief,
it wasn't my husband but myself that done it. And
what was Itode ? lam the mother of five honest
born childher, and they're all here, your Lordship.
And what's the first word he salutes me wud ? Why,
you w—, says he, what do you want ? So my sister
Peggy goes up to him to remind him of the ugly
word he used ; and what does he do but calls her
another w—, and then he gripped her by the hair of
the head, down down upon the flure he knocked her,
sure enough. Well, was I going to see my sister
murthered by a Welshman ? Not at all, my Lord,
so to prevent murther I thought it best to separate
them, and then he turned upon me, and then my
husband came in, and it would be hard to think that
he'd be against me. Upon my sowl it was to save
my sister I stirred hand or foot.
Alderman Woon—ls your sister here ? Mrs.
Fitzsimmons—Peggy, jewel, come here, and tell God's
truth to his Lordship.
Margaret Naughten—Faith, it's I that will. I'll
tell yer all about it. This gentleman (Taylor) struck
my sister when Fitzsimmons was out, and called her
a —, and he called me one too, and dragged so much
hair out of my head that the headache never left me
since. My sister then runs to my assistance, and in
Fitzsimmons walked.
Alderman WOOD—Well, what did he do ? Wit-
ness—Do! Why, he went off for a policeman
directly.—(Laughter.)
Alderman WOOD—Did you see him strike Mr.
Taylor ? Witness—No, my Lord, I never saw him
lift his hand to Mr. Taylor.
Alderman WOOD—How did Mr. Taylor get those
wounds in his head ? Witness—Faith, then, my
Lord, I saw him stagger and fall against the stairs,
but I am sure Fitzsimmons never struck him.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons—He called me a w— and a
b—, and I won't stand that from any man.
The ALDERMEN stated, that they considered the
assault a very desperate act of violence, and if the
prisoners had not a large family of young children,
tl-- case should be sent before a jury. The sentence
upon them was, that the man should pay a fine of
forty shillings, or be committed for a month ; and
that the woman should pay a fine of ten shillings, or
be committed for a week.

The prisoners were finally committed to prison.
WORSHIP-STREET.

William Blackett was charged with the following
highway robbery :
George Peach, a weaver, living in Daniel-street,
Bethnal-green, stated that he was passing through
Austin-street, Shoreditch, on his way home, at a
late hour on the preceding night, when the prisoner
suddenly came before him, and, seizing him by the
collar, thrust his hand into the pocket of his trousers,
which contained a quantity of loose silver. On en-
deavouring to disengage himself, the prisoner instantly
withdrew his hand from his pocket, and struck him a
violent blow on the face, that felled him to the ground.
He remained for some time insensible, and on re-
covering himself he found that the prisoner was gone,
and all his money, consisting of three half-crowns and
a shilling, had been stolen.
Sergeant Price, H 15, stated that at two o'clock
that morning he found the prosecutor lying on the
pavement, in Austin-street, with the blood flowing
copiously from his mouth and nose. In answer to
the prosecutor told him that he had been
and robbed by a man wearing a white
ihlils iunsqeudi r es,
blouso and cap ; and they afterwards repaired to-
gether to a coffee-house in Shoreditch, where they
found the prisoner, whom the prosecutor immediately
identified as the thief, and had him taken into cus-
tody. The prisoner denied the charge, and declared
that he had not a farthing about him, but on search-
ing him at the station-house they found three half-
crown pieces and a shilling secreted in one of his
shoes. The prisoner was well known to the police,
and had been frequently in custody for different
offences.
The prisoner, who declined saying anything, was
committed for trial.

THE QUEEN AND THE OTTER.
(From Punch.)
The glories of the bear-garden may yet return.
The jocund, hearty times, when royal Elizabeth gave
the majesty of her countenance to the baiting of
Bruin, may not be irrevocably passed away. No ;
when Young England reads the account of the otter-
hunt at Blair Athol, at which Queen Victoria pre-
sided, the said Young England may complacently,
pat its white waistcoat, believing that the wisdom of
our ancestors in the matter of bear-baiting will again
be manifest. Indeed, we do not see why cock-fight-
ing should not again flourish in all its wonted hearti-
ness. We have even hopes of long-neglected badger-
drawing.
It seems that Lord Aberdeen took his otter-hounds
to Blair Athol, where there are no native otters. In
a word, the hounds were appointed to a place in
which there was nothing to do; an appointment often
made by Foreign Ministers, Whig and Tory. How-
ever, in due season, an otter was caught at Kelso, and
transmitted in 'a box, to be properly worried at Blair
Athol.

We are told that the Strasburg goose, that is tor-
tured to death for the sake of its enlarged liver,
" knows that it is dying for the honour of France,
and expires without a tear." We have this coin-
fortable assurance in the Almanach des Gourmands.
In like manner, the otter—poor little wretch !—may
have known the greatness of its destiny as it travelled
in its box from IcAso, and thus have complacently
resigned itself to its fate. It may have known it was
a living dish to be set before a Queen, and been
pleased with its fortune.
It poured with rain, but nothing could damp the
heroic ardour of the sportsmen. Even the Queen
mounted her pony under an umbrella ; and Prince
Albert particularly distinguished himself at the onset—
" For the Prince of all the land
Led them on."
We now come to the details :--
- - - -

• • - •• ------
" The otter was started— at a point under the hill of
Tulloch, in the Garry-water, a few hundred yards above
the village of Blair Athol. The Prince followed on foot
close on the hounds, which hunted the otter a short dis-
tance up the river, affording pretty good sport, until at
length, in about twenty minutes after the first start, he
took to the laud, and was seized by one of the hounds.
The huntsmen took him off, and flung him back again
into a deep pool. He darted to the other bank of the
stream, where he earthed. Unearthed again by the
huntsmen, and started afresh, he gave the hounds some
trouble for about ten minutes longer, when they killed
him, and he was speared in the usual way by the hunts-
men. The otter, when fairly spent, crawled up the
bank near where the Queen was, and the hounds, of
course, were upon it. Her Majesty turned away her
head while they were worrying the animal."

This was to be expected ; but time and custom will
eradicate this amiable weakness, and we have no doubt
that next season otters may be worried to any extent,
without producing the slightest qualm in even the
bosom of a Maid of Honour. In these matters use is
everything. The little Spanish girl, who may tremble
and turn pale at her first bull-fight, in a brief time
witnesses all the glory of the contest with smiling face
and an applauding fan.

con-
sidered, there is really something of national import-

There is a troublesome body of persons, calling them-
' selves the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to

Animals. These people have in the most meddle-
some way interfered with the sports of the lower
orders. They have forbidden a harmless main of
cocks ; they have set their faces against the pleasur-
able and innocent excitement of dog-fighting ; duck-
hunting they have denounced as cruelty abominable ;
indeed, there is no thorough English sport, enshrined
by the wisdom of our ancestors, that they have not
condemned as brutal and inhuman.

After the news from Blair Athol, we trust that
these poeple will feel themselves properly rebuked.
Sure we are it will be more than impertinence in
them to interfere with the sports of our countrymen.
Hence, the bear may again be baited to the delight
and edification of Englishmen ; the cock-pit at West-
minster may echo the triumphant clarion of conquer-
ing birds, and Copenhagen Fields be once more vocal
with the joyous cries of dog-fighting Britons.
