LIEBIG. The political economist first
wrought the conviction in our agriculturists, that
ttiey must devise securer bases to rely on for their
future incomes than the average yield of the land, under
the existing system of tillage and dressing, and exist-
ing and burdens prices of produce, would continue to
give. When they had once been induced seriously
to ponder on this conviction, the chemi.st of the soil
demonstrated by what means that yield might be
so largely and economically increased as to go near
satisfactorily to achieve the desired object. But in other
quarters, Mr. L. Fox, of Yorkshire, Mr. NV. PITT, of
Lymington, &c., have shown how enormous a saving
may be accomplished in the aggregate of seed wheat
annually sown in England and -Wales, and how in-
conceivable an increase may certainly be derived from
dibbling the corn at given and regular distances.
We entreat the agriculturists to persevere in the
wise course of careful observation and experiment
upon which so great a body among them appear to
have embarked in good earnest. But they will greatly
err if they stop short at these improvements of system
and processes. Let them be up and doing for the re-
moval of such substantial grievances as they endure
j from the game-laws, and the preservation of game.
Let them learn to see through the one-sided conces-
sions of selfish landlords—who offer, like Sir R. PEEL,
to abandon their high " taboo" upon bar es and rabbits
on the express understanding, however, that the phea-
sants and partridges shall still be rnai.ntained, like
the Prmterian cohorts of old, in a sort of fortified
camp—by the insolence or legalised i mpunity of a
particular body of men, who care nothing for the-
sacrifice of human life and liberty which follows on
the practice of poaching—poaching being the inevita-
ble consequence of game-preserving. Let the agri-
culturists look to the county Members, an d insist of
their procuring the repeal of those °brio xious laws,
under cover of which, as a Wiltshire correspondent o!
the Times has lately proved, a farmer may be sub
jected, lay pheasants alone, to the destruction of grow-
ing crops to the extent of 2501. or 3001. a, year. We
would fain hope that if the tenant farmer 3 succeed in
pushing these social as well as professional improve
rnents, we shall hear no more of their emulating, in
their turn, the tyranny of some great landowner,
(who are also game preservers), towards them,
straining the law to its utmost severity of tension
against the wayfaring pauper, or the warecLering men-
dicant for purloining a turnip or burninis a faggot.
These are moral ameliorations in which we feel at
least as much interested as in those me terial ones,
upon which they will soon have so much reason tc
congratulate themselves.

The intolerable injustice and opprealion of the
game-laws are at length—as we hinted the other day
—beginning to be acknowledged even by the great
landowners of the country, the majority of whom,
thinking of nothing but their own selfiaki amusements,
have hitherto maintained them in all their rigour
" In addition," says the Aylesbury News, " to thF
names of Dr. LEE, Sir H. VERNEY, and the Duke of
BEDFORD, we have now to add that of Sir THOMAS
COTTON SHEPPARD to the list of those common-sense
landlords who have taken the only proper step to-
wards putting an end to the game nuisance. One
day lately upwards of six hundred hares were shot in
some fields on the latter gentleman's estate at Thorn-
borough in this county; and the worthy Baronet has
given his tenants unlimited permission to defend
their property in any manner they may think propel
from the ravages of the game. There will be no
more preserves in the neighbourhood of Thorn-
borough." This is a good beginning, and the example
of these liberal landlords will, we trust, be promptly
followed up by others of the nobility and squire-
archy. Sir R. PEEL, to his credit be it spoken, was
among the foremost to set the fashion of this dis-
interested line of conduct by publicly stating, a few
months since, at an agricultural dinner which he at-
tended at Tamworth, that if any of his tenants
could prove that their crops were injured by the ravages
of the various game in his preserves, he would that
instant give orders for them to be destroyed whole-
sale. As this was quite a volunteer declaration, which
none of the neighbouring farmers called for, and, ap-
parently, none of them expected, we doubt not that
the Right Hon. Baronet will be ready and willing to
put it into practice whenever its necessity is made
manifest to him. Probably, indeed, the destruction
of his game has already commenced, for hares and
pheasants are notoriously active and diligent foragers,
and it cannot be but that they must have inflicted a
world of mischief on the crops in the neighbour.
hood, since the Premier, with a considerate regard
for his tenants' interests, made his gracious declara-
tion in their favour. Few people, except the initiated,
are aware of the enormous amount of damage that is
annually done to the farmer by the game in the ad-
jacent preserves of the squire or the lord of the
manor. Scarcely are the seeds deposited in long
parallel lines in the prepared soil, than the pheasant,
with that keen instinct which a healthy appetite im-
parts to the brute creation, artfully scratches up the
earth, and gorges to repletion on the seed from which
the farmer—unconscious, perhaps, till too late, of his
loss—hopes to derive an abundant crop in due season.
Not less active are the hares and rabbits among the
tender young shrubs and turnip-fields, so that the
luckless farmer has not only to contend against the
proverbial fickleness and vicissitudes of our change-
able climate, but he has also to make bead, as best he
may, against the certain annual losses inflicted
on him by the crowded game in his landlord's adjacent
preserves. Should he indignantly remonstrate
against this last visitation, his remonstrances are, in
too many instances, treated with aristocratic indiffe-
rence ; and nothing is left him but the humiliating
conviction that he must continue to submit without a
murntur to his losses, should he desire to retain pos-
session of his lands. But if the game-laws are in-
jurious to the fanner, to the poor defenceless
bourer they are absolute destruction, both in a moral
sense, and as regards his prospects in life. Let us
take an individual case in support of our assertion.
Suppose—and the supposition is no improbable one—
a young, industriously-disposed, married day la-
bourer unable for weeks together to obtain regular
work, from the distressed state of the farmers in his
neighbourhood. For some time he continues to pick
up a precarious subsistence by doing such odd jobs
as chance may throw in his way; but at length even
this scanty resource fails him, and he has nothing but
a hateful, soul-degrading workhouse standing between
him and absolute starvation. Meantime the fading
cheek of his wife and the increasing cries of his chil

dren for food drive him, into; a fierce frenzy of
despair ; the proud, manly sense of right by which he
was up to this moment distinguished breaks down
beneath the heavy pressure of misery; and after a
bitter, protracted struggle between his conscience and
his necessities, he sullenly betakes himself to the
poacher's hazardous trade ; and if he escape being
shot in: a conflict with the squire's gamekeepers
is—almost as a matter of course—discovered, tried,
and committed to prison, there to herd with the very
dress of society. Adieu from this fatal moment to
all sense of pride, self-respect, and justice in the
breast of the doomed labourer ! The fallen humanity
within him is never again uplifted. Constantly
haunted with a bitter feeling of degradation, this
very feeling plunges him still deeper into error—
all the nobler instincts of his nature, one
by one, give way—he becomes reckless_
desperate—abandoned ; and, most probably, finishes
his brief career in a penal colony or on the scaffold.
Yet this man—but for the cruel temptation which the
game-laws throw in the way of poverty—might still
have continued a worthy member of society ; by

endurance and:the exercise of manly patience he might
have overcome the suffering; under which he laboured;

tie fell a victim to the facilities which the
game-lairs afforded him of becoming a rogue and
vaFabcnd. Verily these laws are a disgrace to the
n'zeteenth century, and it will never be well with the
vast mass of the: labouring population till they are
wholly and for ever erased from the statute-book.

The last news from Otaheite, though not destitute
of some features of novelty and interest, does not
present any aspects upon which we deem it expedient
at present, to offer any observations. But, though
further discussion may tend to prolong angry feelings
between the Governments of France and England,
it must not be anticipated that the violence which has
been offered by the French authorities to the native
Princess who has appealed to our protection, and the
insult which has been cast upon the dignity of the
British nationality by their injurious treatment of
Mr. PRITCHARD, will not very often be turned upon
the wrong-doers, in the shape of a self-recorded case
of political delinquency, which, like cases of moral
delinquency, is sure in the end to entail upon the
actors in it, its own punishment. Our present
purpose is simply to express an ardent hope that the
British Government, warned by the disastrous conse-
quences of such anomalous interventions in the affairs
of remote, and barbarous or semi-civilized countries,
as have signalised their shilly-shally, would-and-
would-not treatment of New Zealand and Otaheite,
will turn its most prompt attention,to a general revi-
sion of the whole condition of those scattered settle-
ments, which it has but recently acknowledged by
specific acts of sovereignty, or which it still leaves to
the same ambiguous constructions of possessory or
non-possessory title, that in both hemispheres have
been of such fatal development. We take leave
rapidly to name a few, a very few, of these doubtful
or " no-men's" lands, as to which, if the principles
were to prevail that have been followed by all the other

The Presse has an article on the probable result to
France of the trade with China, which, as will be
seen from the following extract, is not considered
favourable :

" The information furnished by the Special Commis-
sioners sent to China, as to ,the probability of finding
markets for our produce, is not of a nature to justify the
hopes of the French merchants. The monopoly of the
most important articles of manufacture appears to bt
secured to the Eng.ish and the Americans, with whom it
will be difficult to contend in the supply of white and
unbleached calicoes. The exportation of muslins and
cambrice has been tried by the English, but has not suc-
ceeded. Our woollens might find a better chance of suc-
cess, but even that is not certain, because the Chinese
prefer cotton, which they wear single in summer and
wadded in winter. The Russians, moreover, have mo-
nopolized the Chinese markets for cloth. Our printed
calicoes might perhaps find a market if our manufactu-
rers could reduce their price. Until the present mo-
ment the Swiss have been in possession of the markets
for that article. In the year 1843, the Americans ex-
ported 1,000,000 pieces of unbleached cotton. That
amount was nearly doubled in the year 1844. In April
last the warehouses in the interior of Canton were over-
loaded with British and American manufactures. We
may conclude from the information received that the Go-
vernment does net expect much advantage from the ex-
pensive expedition sent to China. Thus are confirmed
the doubts we expressed on the departure of M. La-
gren6."

maritime nations of Europe in scores of instances,

the title of our flag to paramount and primary
authority cannot be questioned, if it be specifically
and at once asserted. The exigencies of our com-
merce, and the political defences of our broken range
of transmarine and colonial dominion, make this
assertion an affair of momentous interest and in-
describable importance. The eighty or ninety years'
postponement of the boundary line between the
conterminous frontiers of British North America and
of the United States ;—the north-eastern and north-
western lines of demarcation—the rights over the
Oregon territory and the mouth of the Colombia
River—the New Zealand districts, over which the
title of aboriginal owners is not, and those over which
it is, alienated or defeased :—these suggest a few of
the more modern exemplifications of the luxury and
safety of undetermined rights, unascertained titles,
or unsurveyed possessions. We should like to know
in what condition and under what settlement the
lands, once the property of an African Association,
and afterwards transferred to this Government, now
are, on the Gold Coast ? Is there no conflict of
pretensions between ourselves and Holland, or Den-
mark, as to any portion of them ? Do the stipula-
tions of our treaties with the Sovereigns of Ashantee
and other neighbouring Powers expressly recognise
us in the possessions we virtually hold ? Are our
settlements on the Senegal Coast altogether aban-
doned; or, if not, are they in private British hands ?
Have the pretensions of the French in the Portendic
affair been finally conceded, since Dr. LUSHINGT9N
retired from the House of Commons to
the Admiralty tribune ? Do we retain any hold
on the valuable gum trade, of which it may not be
proposed, from a deficiency on our part of diplomatic
recognitions, some fine morning, by one of the two
French Chambers, to deprive us under the force of a
string of " resolutions," after the fashion of Mr.
President TYLER'S management ? Has Portugal
been left without a loophole through which to rake us
in our possessions on the eastern and south-eastern
coast of Africa, where she still affects, in her political
decrepitude, to trace the footsteps of her more vigo-
rous youth of maritime enterprise and discovery ?
On the' southern coasts of America, do we mean to
retain as Crown possessions, or do we intend to aban-
don, the Falkland Islands, whose ill-understood value
as a refitting and refreshment station for our navy
about 80 years since, nearly victimised us for the
purposes of Spain, practising on our ignorance
or our credulity, our apathy or our rash-
ness ? Is it intended in the Indian Archi-

SHERRIFFS' COURT-(THIS DAY.

BRETTON AND ANOTHER V. FENTON.
This action was brought to recover the sum of 161. 165.,
for goods sold and delivered by the plaintiffs to defen-
dant under the following circumstances.
In the course of November, 1844, the defendant or-
dered of a person of the name of Jackson, one of the
present plaintiffs, a number of dining-room chairs, which
were to be delivered to defendant on the 13th of the
same month. The plaintiff Jackson desired the other
plaintiff, Bretton, to make these chairs, and to deliver
them to the defendant on that day. On the plaintiff
Bretton taking them to defendant's house, however, he
(defendant) refused to pay for them, on the ground that
it was from Mr. Jackson, and not from Mr. Bretton he
had ordered them.

Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, and it
having been proved that the goods were ordered of the
plaintiff Jackson, and not of the plaintiff Bretton, the
jury, with.ut retiring, found a verdict for the defendant.
The Court rose shortly after one o'clock.

CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY)
OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER.)
William Hunt, who our readers will recollect surren-
dered to his bail yesterday, was this morning again
placed at the bar. The prisoner, it will be remembered,
was charged, upon two indictments, with having, on the
12th of March last, at the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell,
forged an undertaking for the payment of the sum of
1,7391. 10s., with intent to defraud Thomas Rogers. In
a second count of the indictment, the prisoner was
charged with uttering and putting forth the under-
taking, well knowing it to be forged. The pri-
soner was also charged, upon a second indictment,
with forging an undertaking for the payment of
4001., with intent to defraud Thomas Rogers. Oa the
prisoner surrendering yesterday to his bail, upon the ap-
plication of his counsel, the case was postponed to this
morning, the counsel for the prosecution stating that it
was uncertain whether they would be prepared to pro-
ceed with the prosecution. On the prisoner being placed
at the bar this morning, the case was postponed till next
session, in consequence of the injury received by one of
the witnesses last Friday by a kick of a horse, render-
ing it impossible for him to attend the court.

morning were totally unworthy of any special report.

some examination as to the operation of our existing
treaty with the Netherlands' Government, of the
year 1824. We believe it to be a subject that, if not

seasonably entertained, will be forced on the attention
of our Legislature and Government next session.

Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have been received.
On that day the Senate resumed the consideration of
the Reform Bill, when the Duke DB Goa moved that
certain grandees of Spain, and the Archbishops and
Bishops, should be entitled to seats in the Chamber.
The motion, which was supported by only one mem-
ber, was of course rejected. A report from the Com-
mittee on the Bill for the Abolition of Slavery, was
laid before the Senate, which fully sanctioned the
measures proposed by the Cabinet. The Bill for
promulgating organic laws by royal decree, had re-
ceived the royal assent. NARTAEZ and MARTINEZ
DE Le Rose, in fact, have had everything their own
way in the Cortes, and the country seems quite dis-
posed to submit to their authority.
The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for cash, and
321 at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 22i- at sixty
days ; the Floating Debt, at 77i for the 27th of
January; and the Coupons at 26 1-16 for cash, and
264 at sixty days.

MY. PAYNE, in a very ingenious defence, contended
that as the prisoner had been committed from Clerken-
well Police-court for the felonious receipt, it was alto-
gether unfair to insert the other count as an after-
thought, and in these circumstances he prayed the jury
to dismiss it altogether from their thoughts. There had
not been a tittle of evidence adduced to prove the
charge, and therefore he considered that the prisoner
should be discharged.
The COMMON SERGEANT, after examining the indict-
ment, said there was BO pretence whatever for the charge
of feloniously receiving. He did not say that the prisoner
might not have been assisting to rob the premises, but
it was natural to infer that the person upon whom the
stolen property was found was the person most likely to
have done so, but that under the circumstances ho
would leave it to the jury.
The jury found her Not Guilty.
Catherine Driscoll was charged with feloniously steal-
ing from Henry Hubbock, a sailor, the sum of 6s. 6d.
The sailor had got drunk, and the prisoner, to use
his own phrase, "had towed his hulk into port," and
there robbed him of the sum in question.
The case was clearly proved, and the young lady,
who bore not the most estimable of chai &eters, was
transported for ten years.
Several cases of petty larcenies were then disposed of.
Elizabeth Wilfins was charged with unlawfully dis-
posing of the body of her dead child.
The prisoner had been an in-patient of St. George's
Hospital, and under treatment for a diseased limb. On
the 3d December the body of a deceased child was found
in a box by her bed-side, and it was discovered that she
was the mother. No evidence was adduced to show that
the child had been born alive.

The Learned Counsel for the defence contended that
there was no evidence to prove that there was any inten-
tion of permanently concealing the body of the infant.
The box was an open one ; it was close beside her bed,
and therefore the most natural course for the prisoner
under these circumstances was, to place the body where
it had afterwards been found. There was nothing cri-
minal in this; and he trusted, therefore that the jury
would discharge her from her present painful position.
—Not Guilty.
Sarah Seville was similarly charged, and also dis-
charged.

The Paris papers are as destitute of news as ever.
They contain no domestic intelligence, no foreign cor-
respondence got up to give an impulse to the discussions
in the Chambers ; nothing from Spain, or Morocco,
or Otaheite ; and even Admiral DUPETIT TROUARS,
who was to be the lion of the day, is entirely for-
gotten, and living quietly as a retired half-pay officer
in the Rue de Castellane. What is to be done with
the sword no one can tell. The Admiral rejects it,
as he considers employment in his profession, and the
favour of the Court, preferable to popular applause.
For want of a better subject, therefore, the journals
are occupied with the probable destinies of the
GUI ZOT Ministry. A very general belief prevails
that it cannot last the session; that the KING,
notwithstanding certain outward signs, would
feel no disappointment if M. GUIZOT should
be compelled to retire, and Count MOLE,
with TRIERS as his right - hand man, take
his place. He would thus to a certainty obtain one
of the great objects he has had in view for years—
pensions for his younger children, and a provision for
the Duke of NEMOURS should he become Regent.
MOLE, TIMERS, DUFAURE, and other leaders of the
Coalition, would willingly return this compliment to
his MAJESTY for their restoration to office, and the
ousted Ministry, who are already ',implicated in the
business, could not with any decency oppose the
scheme. But, besides this, the political principles
professed now by the new candidates for the KING'S
favour, have undergone a material change on one
point. They are now as anxious for peace with
England as GUIZOT—in fact they are playing the
game of Sir ROBERT PEEL before they are in office,
and adopting the policy of their opponents to obtain
favour with the KING, for the KING, whatever may be
said to the contrary, governs as well as reigns. The
National makes no secret of the fact. " The Minis-
terial journals," it says, " are triumphant. The ma-
jority for Ministers has again been consolidated, and
the intriguers feel afraid. Thus, the Conservative
deputies who voted for M. BILLAULT were intriguers__
men without principles or faith—discontented and
timid men, capable of coalescing in the dark, but in-
capable of sustaining the light of discussion. It is
wall to know this, for we have long been accustomed
to hear the Conservative party spoken of with a pomp-
ous eulogium. It appears that the Conservative party
has Marplots amongst its members. So much for
persons, now for principles. It has long been a boast

LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.)
George Prince, a bone-collector, Catherine Waley, and
Mary Jones, described as residing in North-street, Lock's-
fields, were charged with coining.
Police-constable, P 28, stated that from information
which he received, he went yesterday evening to the
prisoners' lodgings, which was in a small back room in
North-street. On going up stairs he suddenly opened
the door, and saw the male prisoner with some coin in
his band, which he attempted to place in his pocket, but
which the officers prevented, and the prisoner was secured.
On searching the fire-place the officers found some coin-
ing implements. The male prisoner said, " Aye, you
have found all you will find, which, I suppose, is suffi-
cient for your purpose." The prisoner Waley said that
she had only just come in, and had nothing to do with
the coining implements.
Mr. HENRY ordered the two female prisoners to be
removed from the Court, and asked the male prisoner
what he had to say to the charge ?—The male prisoner
(Prince) said Waley had nothing to do with it, and that
he found the implements en a dunghill at Lock's-fields.
The two females, on being again brought into Court,
were asked if they wished to say anything, but they
declined.

Mr. llErzny asked if the police knew anything abou
the prisoners ?—The officers said the whole of the pri.
Boners were well-known characters.
Mr. HENRY said the prisoners mutt be remanded until
Saturday.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
William Mariner, a weather-beaten old tar, was
charged with being found lying drunk in the public street.
The defendant received his pension on the previous
day at the Pay-office, on Tower-hill, and afterwards be-
came so intoxicated that he fell down, and was found
lying on the pavement insensible, and his pockets turned
inside out, having been plundered of the whole of his
quarter's pension.
The defendant's account was that he had been robbed
of nearly all his money, but still he had a " shot left in
the locker."

The policeman said he had not a farthing about him
when he was searched.
Defendant (giving his trowsers a hitch)—Oh, yes, I
" bolted a sovereign when I found tke land sharks'
about me, and I expect that I shall have it safe and
sound by and-by."—(Laughter.)
Mr. TIAILL discharged him, remarking that he hoped
he would discover the sovereign he had swallowed
without sustaining any injury from such an experiment.

e_
PREsErn, TO AN EDITOR. The editor of the
Devonport Telegraph acknowledges the receipt of a barrel
of ale from a brewery in the town as a Christmas-box,
the excellence of which is, of course, duly testified in
grateful terms.

that the monarchical and representative system is the
personification of perfection. Men have been found
to bend the knee before the constitutional fiction which
elevates the royal person above the sphere of parties,
which raises it over every ambition, and which ren-
ders it infallible, because its action is never felt. But
we find from the Ministerial journals, that a number
of Conservatives voted for M. BILLAULT because they
imagined they would please the KING by so doing. It
follows, therefore, that the Chamber, far from being
independent of royalty, is at its orders."
The discussion on the Address was to commence in
Committee, it was understood, on Monday. M.
GUIZOT, Marshal SOULT, and Admiral MAcKau,
would attend the Committee to reply to questions
and furnish documents. The debate in the Chamber
will commence about the middle of next week.

It is admitted, in all circles connected with the ship-
ping interests of the country, that the guano trade has
been a most seasonable source of employment for no
inconsiderable portion of the vessels of various ports
which prevougly were lying idle. London, Liverpool,
Bristol, Dundee, Hull, &c., have all participated in this
comparatively new branch of industry and enterprise.
As respects Hull, the circular quoted yesterday has
on the subject of the guano trade the following re-
marks :—" In the past year, being the first in which
direct imports have occurred at this port, the supplies
amount to about 4,000 tons. The trade, contrary to what
might have been expected from the known enterprise of
the agriculturists in this part of the country, and the ex-
tent to which every description of foreign manures is
used, has not yet assumed that importance here that it
has at some of the other leading ports. Still, however,
its consumption is on the increase, and it probably only
wants a season favourable for its application (which the
last, from the long drought) was not, to cause it to be
etttensively consumed." The stocks in the port may be
calculated at about 1,200 tons. The price, which in the
spring was as high as 101. per ton, has since the com-
mencement of the direct import, varied from Si. to 71
per ton, the present quotation being 61 to 71. per ton.
There are accounts in the City this morning from the
Mauritius to the 15th October. Money is described as
being very scarce, the Banks having been rather dis-
posed to contract than to expand their issues. There is
not any other news of moment from this or other colo-
nial possessions of the Crown to-day.
The meeting of the holders of shares in the Colonial
Bank, held this afternoon, was, on the whole, considered
as a favourable one. The expose of the Directors as to
its affairs, compared with previous reports given by the
Court of Directors, is more satisfactory. Heavy losses
by failures, and the large robbery (12,3501.), have,
for the last two or three years, cramped
the operations of the banks connected with
the Corporation in the West India Colonies ;
nor for the present is there any very sanguine expecta-
tion entertained that things, as respecting the Bank's pro-
fits, will materially mend, trade being represented in
the accounts received yesterday by the steamer as dull,
though the crops looked well.

COAL FROM PEAT.—We are informed that, by the
application of a chemical process, an ingenious party
has succeeded in the conversion of peat into coal within
a short period of time. If the works of the great
laboratory of nature, perfected during centuries, can
thus be performed by art in a few weeks, it will indeed
cause a great social and national revolution.—Literary
Gazette.
BECCLES.—OPENING OF THE CORN EXCHANGE.--
Our market-place, " which centres in a spacious area,"
presented a deserted scene on Saturday last, in conse-
quence of the announcement of opening the Corn Ex-
change having been publicly made known. This neat
and commodious building, we are happy in stating,
was at four o'clock well filled with merchants, traders,
and farmers, connected not only with our own town,
but others from Bungay, Halesworth, Lowestoft,
&c., lent their aid in the stirring business of the day.
We believe we are right in stating that each stand was
engaged by two occupiers, thus proving the desire-
ableness of this long wished for and excellent improve-
ment. The projectors will thus see a prospect of being
amply repaid for their spirited speculation. The borough
band attended and played the National Anthem at the
commencement, with many favourite airs. This build-
ing, which has a noble external appearance, is equal in
length to our well known and spacious Assembly room,
and considerably wider and larger ; bronze gas chande-
liers are introduced, and when the appropriate furniture,
ornaments, &c., are finished, it will vie with any similar
public edifice in the county. Perhaps at no former
period has there been more corn exported from our town
than at this period.—lpswich Express.
Tus GAME NUISANCE.—" The mercenary spirit
engendered by legalising the sale of game, has reduced
our English country gentlemen to the condition of poul-
terers.' —Duke of Portland. His Grace might also
very justly have added, that many of our English country
gentry have, by this game mania, reduced themselves to
legalised poachers. Poaching is odious, but the system
pursued by very many of our noblemen and gentlemen
is equally odious. The Act of Parliament passed for
legalising the sale of game was to enable such of the
aristocracy to become " poulterers " as were mean
enough to take up the trade, for nothihg less than a
trade is made of surplus game, and that, too, at the cost
of tho farmers.
The Duke of Hamilton continues confined at his
mansion in Portman square, by an ophthalmic complairn.
The Noble Duke has only quitted his residence twice
since his arrival from Bath.
