THE MOORS.

The accounts from the moors continue favourable.
Amongst the sportmen in the Highlands this season is
Prince Edward rf Saxe. Weimar, at Mar Lc dge, with
the Duke of Leeds. We understand that, since the 12th
ultimo, Mr. Gisborne has killed twelve stags at Invere-
shie, and five of these in one day. Mr. Evans, M.P.,
has also killed five stags at the same place. At Strath-
vaich, on the 23d, Sir St. George Gore shot sixty five
brace of grouse ; and on the 25th an equal number, two
snipe, and two hares. Sir St. George had also a double
shot at two fine stags, killing both, right and left. At
Culrain, Mr. Carter and friend bagged thirty-four brace
of grouse on the afternoon of the 25th. Mr. Leslie and
party Lad a fine day's sport in the woods at Glengarry
last week, killing twenty-two and a half brace of blade
game, live brace grouse, three woodcocks, and five roe-
deer,—lnverness Courier.

The Perth Courier remarks :—" The unusually preco-
city of the young broods of grouse this reason, resulting
in many cases not only in second broods, but in a second
generation of birds in direct descent, has led to a greater
variety upon the same shooting-ground than was,
pi-rhaps, ever before experienced. A much less propor-
tion than usual of chcepers, however, are met with, most
of the birds being strong upon the wing; but, in such cases,
the covies appear to have been partially broken up, the
brood having got sufficiently old to leave the parents care.
On the more extensive shooting in the north the sport con-
tinues more equal for several weeks. During the first five
days nearly 1,000 boxes arrived here from the north by
coach and carrier ; which, at the average of eight brace
in a box, would give a total of 8,000 passing south
through this road alone. In addition to the results of
the first day's sport mentioned in our last, we may men-
tion that of the Earl of Mansfield, at Rannoch Moors,
90 brace ; Lord Glenlyon and Captain Drummond, at
Falar, 89 brace ; Dalnamine, at Atholl Forest, Mr.
Cameron and party, 76 brace ; Calvin, near Blair, Mr.
Graham, 65 brace."

SALMON FlSUlNG.—Angling has been first-rate in the
Ness last week. On the 28th ult. Alister Fraser, son of
Mack Fraser, Esq., and another young man, landed no
less than ten salmon and grilses, weighing from 71bs. 'to
I llbs. each ; and on Monday Captain Cator took nino
very fine fish. Some days ago, there was caught in the
Spey, near Orton, a salmon which weighed upwards of
401bs. !—lnverriess Courier.

THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE..--His Royal Highness
who is travelling under the title of the Earl of Culloden, ar
rived on Sunday night at Cologne. He proceeded next day' to
the Palace of Rumpenheim, on the road from Frankfort to
Wurtaburg.

STATE OF TRADE.—The market continues to bo
favourably influenced by the fine weather, and some descrip-
tions of yarn are rather higher than last week; whilst goods
are in better demand at previous rates.—Manchester Guardian.
We hear with sorrow that during the last week,
Mr. Ruscombe Poole, of Bridgewater, second son of the late
Jos. Ruscombe Poole, Esq., with his wife and three of his
sisters and his servants, have seceded from the English Chards,
and entered into the communion of that of Rome. Mr. R.
Poole, who is one of the churchwardens of Bridgewater, has
publicly announced this to the vicar, the Rev. D. Nihil.—
Western Luminary.
The keystone of the last arch in the splendid
bridge across the Lowther, on the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail-
way, was secured on Wednesday last. The heigkt from the bed
of the river to the top of the parapet is upwards of 100 feet.--•
Cumberland Pacquet.
CANDIDATES FOR HOLY ORDERS.—A short time
since some of the Bishops, in their places in the House of
Lords, expressed their intention of allowing schoolmasters to
become candidates for holy orders, without undergoing an uni.
versity tjualiflcation. The Lord Bishop of London has recently
been written to upon this subject, and the question put to him,
whether he would or not allow schoolmasters to become candi-
dates in his diocese? His Lordship replied by stating that,
whatever other Bishops might do, he should not depart from the
ancient custom of requiring the candidates to have graduated
at the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge.—Cambridge Ad-
vertiser.

will occupy three days.—Manchester Guardian.
WINDSOR CASTLE.-IVe are happy to state that it
is her Majesty's intention to abolish the office of State House-
keeper at Windsor Castle by granting compensation to the lady
Rho at present holds the office, and thereby getting rid of this
unpopular tax upon the public in the shape of housekeeper's
lees for showing the state apartments at Windsor, which will ira
future be placed under the custody of the Lord Chamberlain.
We feel truly grateful for this concession to public opinion.
and sincerely hope that this excellent example will be followed
in all public places where fees have teen hitherto exacted.—•

DUBLIN, SEPT. 9.—STATE OF CAVAN.—Neither
of the projected meetings took place at Killishandra yesterday.
The troops were all in readiness, but fortunitely there was no
occasion for their services. The Evening Post of this after•
noon says :—" Our letters from Cavan this morning state that
all passed off quietly yesterday. The Catholic clergy, from
their altars on Sunday, enforced the duty of obedience to the
law, and of avoiding all ocaasious of strife and disturbance, and
the result was that the teetotallers, who had abandoned their
perfectly legal meeting and noble purpose, afforded no preteM
for Orange violence Of aggression."
