NIGHT POACHING.

Mr. WALLACE moved the further consideration of
:he Lords' amendments to the Night Poaching Preven-
tion Bill.

Mr. ESCOTT moved that the amendments be read a
second time that day six months. He objected on prin-
ciple to extending the provisions of the game-laws to
the high roads of this country. The game-laws re-
quired restriction rather than extension ; they were un-
necessary to the sportsman, and most destructive to the
liberty and rights of the people.
Mr. BOUVERIE seconded the amendment.

Captain BERKELEY supported the Lords' amend
ments.

Mr. ROEBUCK opposed the Bill.
After a desultory conversation, the House divided,
when the numbers were—
For the original motion 63
Against it
Majority

-51

Mr. ESCOTT moved for a return of all fees taken or
demanded from defendants in misdemeanours, by the
clerks of assize, and clerks of the peace in England and
Wales, at the last assizes and two last quarter-sessions,
respectively.—Agreed to.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock.

TIIE "WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—During the
past week this town (Whitehaven) and its localities
have been visited by several Copious and refreshing
showers of rain, which have generally been followed
by warmth and sunshine. These showers, which
are undoubtedly of the greatest service to the
potato, turnip, and grain crops, we are afraid have
come at too late a period to be of any benefit
to seed grass, as the operations of the scythe have com-
menced in many places. It is only on poor soils, we
understand, that the wheat crops have at all suffered
from the drought, and now that we have been
so plentifully visited with rain, even on these
soils much of the grain crops will partially re-
cover.—Cumberland Pacquet, June 18. A few slight
showers of rain fell on Saturday forenoon, and the wind
continued breezy from the west during the day. In the
afternoon, however, there was no rain, and Sunday, in
addition to being dry, was likewise warm, and altoge-
ther a choice day for the country. Yesterday exhibited
another change, and was the most constantly wet day we
have experienced this season.— Glasgow Courier, June 18.
LAMENTABLE SUICIDE.—A dreadful case of self-

destruction was committed by Mrs. Hannah Wilmot, a
widow lady of fortune who had been for some time re-
siding in this island, early on Saturday morning last,
at the inn kept by Mr. Burry, at St. Saviour's, where
the deceased had lodgings. Mrs. Wilmot had been
for a considerable period in a distressing state of mind,
and was, in consequence, carefully watched by a female
attendant ; but the latter having occasion to leave the
deceased's bed-room for a few minutes, the deceased
fastened the door of the apartment, and almost imme-
diately threw herself out of the window, whereby she
sustained injuries which shortly terminated her exis-
tence. An inquest was held by the Royal Court on Sa-
turday at noon, when hearing the depositions of wit-
nesses, a verdict was returned that the deceased had
committed the fatal act whilst suffering under a fit of
delirium tremens.—Guernsey Star.
POPULATION OF NEW SOUTH WALES.—A report,
just issued by the Legislative Council of this colony (in-
cluding Port Philip), shows that in one year and nine
months there has been an increase in the population of
14,357, or 9.59 per cent, as on the 31st December, 1841,
the total population was 149,669, whilst on the 30th Sep-
tember, 1843, it was 164,026. On the adult population
there was during the first nine months a decrease, caused
by the excess of deaths and departures, over immigation,
of 684. Amongst other interesting facts, the report shows
a gradual correction of that inequality of the sexes which
has always formed the great moral blot on the social
constitution of the'colony, fur whereas the increase on
males was 1,940, that of females was 2,197, being an ex-
cess of 257. In 1841 the proportion was 10 males to
5.57 females ; in 1842, 10 males to 5.91 females ; and in
1843, there were 10 males to 6.91 females. In the years
1842 and 1843 there was an increase of 6.59 per cent. of
males, and 14.98 of females, being 8.39 per cent. in fa-
vour of the latter, or more than double that of males.
THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con-
stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc-
tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very
limited period ; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with a
reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es-
timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention
for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair,
are too well known and appreciated to need much comment.
The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it
enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu-
merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au-
thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all
attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred,
its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un-
principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as
