THE MOORS.

The hccounts from the moors continue favourable.
Amongst the sportmen in the Highlands this season is
Prince Edward c f Saxe. Weimar, at Mar Lodge, 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 trio hares. Sir St. George had also a double
shot at two fine stags, killing both, right and left. At
Colrain, Mr. Carter and friend bagged thirty-four brace
of grouse on the afternoon of the 25th. Mr. Leslie and
party had a fine day's sport in the woods at Glengarry
last week, killing twenty-two and a half brace of black
game, five brace grouse, three woodcocks, and five roe-
deer.—lnve►ness Courier.

The Pettit Courier remarks :—" The unusually preco-
city of the young broods of grouse this season, resulting
i❑ 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,
perhaps, ever before experienced. A much less propor-
tion than usual of cheepers, however, are met with, most
of the birds being strong upon the wing; but, in such cases,
the envies 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 fire
days nearly 1,000 boxes arrived here from the north by
coach and carrier ; which, at the average of tight 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 Gienlyon 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 FISEIING.—AngIing has been first-rate in the
Ness last week. On the 28th ult. Alister Fraser, son of
Affieck Fraser, Esq., and another young man, landed no
less than ten salmon and grilses, weighing from 7lbs. to
nibs. each ; and on Monday Captain Cator took nine
very fine fish. Some days ago, there was caught in the
Spey, near Orton, a salmon which weighed upwards of
40ibs. !—lnverness Courier.

THE DUKE, OF CAM BRIDG E.—llls 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
Wurt %burg.

STATE OF TRADE.—The market continues to Ix
favourably influenced by the fine weather, and sonic descrip-
tions of yarn are rather higher than last week ; whilst goods
are in better demand at previous rates. Manchester Guardian.

FOR
CANDIDATES 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 qualification. The Lord Bishop of Londonhas 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,
wh-tever 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.

We regret to hear that the disease of the potato
crop, which appears to be so general throughout the kingdom.
has committed its ravages to a very great extent in this district.
Upwards of half the crop is said to be unfit for use.—Brighton
Gazette.
We rejoice to say that the accounts of the harvest
continue most favourable. On every side there is the appear-
ance cf an abundant crop.—Brighton Gazette.
CONFERENCE OF EVANGELICAL MINISTERS.--A
proposal having been made that a great meeting of Evangelical
Christians, of different churches and countries, should be held.
in London, for the purpose of " associating and concentrating
the strength of an enlightened Protestantism against the en-
croachment of Popery and Puseyism, and to promote the in-
terests of a Scriptural Christianity," it has been thought de-
sirable that a preliminary meeting of the various denominations
in Great Britain and Ireland should be held ; and it has ac-
cordingly been decided that this preliminary cocference sWI
take place at Liverpool on the Ist of October. It is expected
that 200 ministers will be present, and that the proceedings
will occupy three days.—Manchester Guardian.

I‘',I4I)DLESIEX SFSSIONS.
(Before the Assistant Judge.)
The f(TaTal jury having terminated their tabours this morn-
ing (Wedrer..av), as-cmbled in a body. before the Assistant
Judge, for the ptn-pose of b:ing discharge.i in the ususJ manner.
The Foreman, in stror g terms, expressed far nialstlf and
brother jurors, their disr.pprohati,n of being compelled to at-
tend this Coml., to inquire into the very trifling charges pre-
ferred against the several prisoners committed for trial, and
presented the followirg resolution confirmatory of that opinion
.4 The Grand Jury are of opinion that they are quite unne-
cessary in the examination of the cases that are tried before
this Court.
(Sigred) " HENRY THORPE, Foreman."
A list of sixteen others followed.
The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE expressed his concurrence
in their view of the case, and said that the subject was at pre•
sent under. the consideration of the authorities.
Mary Ann Bland, aged 20, was indicted, charged with
stealing a purse and the snm of 55., the property of Mary
Barney, on the 27th of August.
On the day in question the prisoner was observe 1 by a po-
liceman to make several attempts to pick the pickets of diffe-
rent ladies, whilst looking in through the windows of various
shops in the vicinity of Leicester•square. lle eventually de-
tected her piekin t the pocket of the prosecutrx, who was
standing at the as indovv of a it.lop in Sydney alley, and found
the purse in her hand.
Mr. HostaY defended the prisoner, and urged upon the jury
the improbability there was in the statement of the policeman,
when, as he would show, that the prisoner was moving in a
respectable sphere of life, and the wife of a respectable man,
who, together with the prisoner, was engaged in the theatrical
profession. The facts were, the prisoner on the day in ques-
tion was sent by her mother on business to the neighbourhood
the policeman had seen her, and had been, as well as other
ladies, looking through the shop-svindows, and not out, as
stated by the policeman, with the intention of picking pockets,
as her circumstances were such as left her far beyond a neces-
sity to resort to such means of obtaining a living. And the
very day she was taken she and her husband were to have
been on their way to Dublin, to fulfil an engagement which
they had entered into at a theatre in that city ; and had re-
cently concluded an engagement at one of the provincial
theatres, where they had been performing with considerable
success.
Mrs. Hall, the prisoner's mother, was then called to prove
the counsel's statement ; she deposed that her daughter had
been for some time engaged with her husband, Mr. Henry
Bland, in theatricals. Witness had sent her out on the day in
question on some business. Witness herself was a dress-
maker, residing in Windmill-street, Haymarket.
The jury found her Guilty.
The prisoner burst into a flood of tears, and earnestly be-
sought his Lordship not to transport her.
The JUDGE having read her a severe lecture, cautioned her
as to her future conduct; for if she appeared in that dock
again he would certainly send her out of the country. The
sentence of the Court was, that she be imprisoned for six
months, and be kept to hard labour.
Mr. Bland, the prisoner's husband, then entered the wit-
ness box, and requested his Lordship's permission to hare an
interview with his wife as he was about to proceed to Birming-
ham in the morning.
The Learned Assistant-Judge granted the application.
Dennis Denny, 23, pleaded Guilty to an indictment, charg-
ing him with assaulting Charles Nicholas and others.
The prisoner had been a very disorderly character, and fre-
quently convicted for similar offences. 'the present charge, it
will be remembered by our readers, occurred a short time since
in Gray's Jun-lane; it was a most ferocious assault, and the
prisoner had offered considerable resistance before he could be
secured. .

The COURT sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment
and hard labour.
Margaret Collins, 41, was indicted for stealing 60 yards of
diaper, value 405., the property of Wm. Early and others.
Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner.
A witness was called to prove the charge, but in cross-exami-
nation by the Learned Counsel, he failed in proving the exist-
ence of a third partner, the goods having been laid in the indict-
ment as the property of Early and others.
Mr. O'BRIEN then submitted to the Court that the pri-
soner must be disch irged upon the nor,-formality in the in-
dictment.—The prisoner was consequently discharged.
