mention that game. in this neighbourhood; has fallen
at least 50 per cent. within the last few days. A
brace of 300:! plump partridge: may now be pur-
chased for one shilling sterling, and a bare at the
same rate, skin and all. Pussie, to be sure, is not yet
at the best, but still this is a wonderfully moderate
price, considering the drawback which may be re-
ceived from any oi the dealers in for. of 'which this
town is so great a mart. Game. in fact, of all kinds,
was never more plentiful than at the present moment,
and it is no uncommon thing, even for half-bred
apartsmen, to bag their ei ht or ten brace of birds
‘before dinner, besides, pergapo, two or three full-
i grown hares .

and the father. daughter, and the watermen, were
drifted away from the boat, and remained in the
water about twenty minutes before a boat from his
Majesty’s ship Guess could arrive at the spot to
take them up. Mr. Janna sustained and cheered
his daughter during thewhole‘of the time, and when
the young Lady was taken into the boat. she grasped
hold of it, and ardeotly‘kissed her father and pre-
server; but, on being conned into the Genera, it
was discovered that the vi - spark had departed its
fair and raceful abode. and the a oniaed parent

promptly used for resuscitation. is indescribable. The}
two watermeu were saved. and. with W. Jamil»
are recovered from their accident. ‘
