• It appears, from the usual published Returns,
that there has been a falling-off of nearly eighty thou-
sand barrels of porter in the quantities brewed by the
principal London houses during the last year. How is this
to be accounted for? Not by a diminished population ;
for that we all know is mi the increase; not by a dimi-
nished number of public-houses, for they increase in num-
ber as the town extends in size ; nor does it arise, we fear,
from greater sobriety among the people, for that the state
of our streets but too evidently contradicts. The princi-
pal cause, we apprehend, is to be found in the extended
use o► ardent spirits, arising some measure from their
cheapness, and the bad quality of great part of the be-
verage of which they have taken the place. 'There relay
be other causes, such as a diminished demand for porter in
the way of export, and the increased use of what is called
intermediate been—Morning Herald.

On Monday last there was heavy and inces-
sant rain during the day and night in this city and neigh-
bourhood. It fell with such rapidity to the Southward,
particularly about earrigaline, as to tear up the roads in
many places, and a small stream on the lands of Aghamartha,
the estate of C. S. O'GRADY, Esq. was swollen to such a
degree as to carry away a sketch mill, lately erected then:.

A ludicrous example of " Opposition" occur-
red at Lincoln last week.—A person, wishing to go to
Boston, went fur that purpose to the lock, from which
place the steam packets start. As soon as he had hailed
one of them for a passage, he was accosted by the " Op-
position" with " Go with us, we'll let you down for a
shilling"—the others offered to let him go for sixpence.—
" Opposition. Never you mind, then, you shall go with
us for threepence."—The " Generous Mastiffs," determin-
ing not be outdone, would let him go for nothing ; but
here they were again foiled, for the " Little Cur," shouted
out, " us, go wi' us, you shall go for naught, and
have your dinner and a quart of ale in the bargain."—

TILE BRANCHES PARK ESTATE.-111C
sale of this Domain has created so much sensation that
we cannot withhold the following extract from GEORGE
RGIGNS'S description :—This freehold property com-
prehends one of the finest Estates in England ; to illus-
trate this assertion, it will be required that at least a few of
its leading features should be noticed, and with this view
the Residence is fairly entitled to first consideration. It
presents that " great desideratum" which is so rarely to be
attained, one which affords all the accommodation a first-
rate family can desire, and is not so inconveniently large as
to require an establishment beyond the limits of a moderate
expenditure. In fine, without assuming or pretending to
the character of first rank, it may nevertheless cause many
whose superiority is imaginary, to hide their diminished
heads. The description which necessarily follows this
recital, it is apprehended, will at once confirm the
praise that has uniformly been urged in favour of
Branches Park, " That it is one of the best residences on a
limited scale in England." This point being established,
the next that will naturally suggest itself is the situation,
and of which it is difficult to do justice without encounter-
ing the hazard of too highly colouring this beautiful land-
scape. It is seated in a finely-timbered Park of about 200
acres, with clumps of trees and stately Oaks, dispersedly
placed and scattered about in pleasing negligence, and there
is a delightful irregularity and inequality in the grounds,
which add greatly to the effect ; there is much of bill and
dale, and two sheets of ornamental water. There are some
breaks ingeniously formed in the Park, from which are dis-
tinctly seen the Estates of the Duke of RUTLAND, Lords
GUILFORD; DACRE, &c. The pleasure grounds which
environ the mansion are planned in the best taste ; it is
only essential to add, that the genius of " capability
IheowN" presided over the disposition of them. They are
extensive, and the shrubbery walks, of an irregular form,
approximate for near a mile upon the Park ; they are clothed
with a profusion of the most rare and estimable American
and other plants and flowering shrubs, dispensing their
fragrance at every step ; there are beside very extensive
gardens, with lofty brick walls, clothed with the finest fruit,
large Conservatory and Melon ground. The farms con-
nected with this property, although at a distance of only
seven miles from Newmarket, are of a complexion varying
in the soil as much as the two poles. The produce of the park,
without having incurred any extraordinary expenditure, ex-
ceeds two tons and a half of the finest hay per acre ; and this
quantity, or very near it, may be seen on every farm. The
arable land gives proof "strong as holy writ " of its great
properties ; it need only be added, that the fair average of
this season will be five quarters of wheat and seven and eight
of barley, and the soil is very congenial to turnips and
beans. Indeed nothing can be more refreshing than at
this moment to witness the immense return which this
respectable and contented tenantry will receive as the re-
ward of their successful labours. It is now important to
state the other and prominent advantages that pertain
almost exclusively to this tine property, and in doing so,
its contiguity to Newmarket should nut be overlooked, in-
asmuch as the neighbourhood is remarkable for the supe-
riority of its occupants ; and to a man of fashion and sport-
ing gentleman, its easy access to this seat of gaiety and
amusement cannot but be appreciated. To a gentleman of
snore quiet habits, it need not be remarked, that his retire-
ment will be as complete as if he were at a distance of five
hundred miles from the great metropolis of London. The
estate is unusually compact. A reference to the plan will
show more evidently this great advantage. A portion of it
is exempt from tithes, the land tax redeemed, and Poor,
rates very low, advantages that a good farmer will not fail
to appreciate duly. The Manors of Branches Hall and
and
Cowlinge extend over the whole parish of 3067

fairs, and
the estate possesses also the tolls of two exterisor

for Capital that has been

royalties;
it may be doubted if
(with the solitary exception of Lord OILMONDE'S Estates)
so fine a Property has been offered to public competition ;
under this persuasion, Mr. ROSINS feels great pleasure in
submitting it to the early and special attention of the
monied world.
