FIELD SPORTS FOR JUNE.
FROM THE ANNALS OF SPORTING.
Let not the Fox-hunter, the Courser, the Shooter, the follower
of Harriers suppose that, merely because be cannot take the field,
in pursuit of his severally favourite amusements, that there is no.
thing new to occupy his attention, or awaken his interest; let him,
rather, learn from us that this is the season when, by exertions ju- "
dicionsly made, and observations scieniifically applied, he may, its
great measure, provide for future exertion and future success. If
the covert must not now be disturbed, nor the fields. green with
the embryo harvest, be indented with the hoof of the courser's
steed, still the economy of the kennel, the management of the
stable, the comfort of the bretding.rooms, the preservation of the
young game from the desperate poacher and the insidious vermin,
the ensuring a supply of loxes, these and other attentions will have
a prospective good, and may well and judiciously employ a portion
of the sportsman's hours, and, during his interregnum of quiet, as
it were, prevent them frcm becoming " Weary, stale, flat, and un-
profitable."—Yet is June a month when many a pleasant pastime
is most seasonably to be enjoyed.

Extract of a letter dated Gibraltar, May e 3 The
English falucho St. Francis, of this pori, Franc Malaya
master, employed between this and Tangier in carrying
the correspondence from the Consuls there; sailed from
hence last night for that place, having on board, it is •
reported, property to a considerable amount, sent as a
present to the Emperor, was detained by a Spanish te-
venue cruizer and carried into Algesiras. Tne- two
Moorish brigs of war here having completed their re•
pairs and coppering, are, now ready for sea, waiting a
change of wind ; their crews arrived this week from
liatbary ; they are first going to Tangier, where the •
Emperor is shortly expected."
The Duke of York, arrived from Lisbon, brought to
England the Con to FIGUERAS and the Conde DEPONTE; •
rmer is going to Madrid as Ambassador, and the
latter Ambassador to Paris. ' Two other Ambassadors
have been appointed, one to London, and the other to
Vienna; but they waited for the Falmouth packet,
which would leave Lidosn on Saturday last, the 31st.
Previous to the sailing of the Duke of York. tam twits
filled w th Po tuguese police soldiers, took up their sta-
tion, one on each side ot the MEAM•boat, and examined
all passengers that approached it; on perceiving which
Captain SARTORIOUS, of the Pyramus frigate, sent two
boats, armed with marine., to protect the British pas-
sengers as they quitted thealiore for the steam boat;
when, on seeing•this, they ceased the examination, with,
the exception ot two or three police officers who were
on board the steam yes el, who inquired and saw that '
no Poi tuguese quitted without passports. When the
Duke of York first arrived at Lisbon, from Gibraltar
and .Cadiz, Captain OWEN signed an obligation that no
passenger should go on shore. •
AN IMPOSTOR —A fellow who gees about the streets
endeavouring to excite compassion by eating raw cab-
bages,
to induce people to believe char he is starving.
was yesterday bought before the Magiqrate at Union
Hall. That morning he was observed.to pick up the
head of a mackarel that was lying in the kennel, with
the blood of which he smeared his mouth, so as to in.
duce people to think that Le had bate :Bowed it. Many •
persons, from this circumra ice, gave him money; and
when the officer who apprehended him made his ap-
pearance, he endeavoured to escape; and on examining
h s pockets, the head of the 6,h which he was supposed
to have devoured was found therein. He was committed
for three months to Brixton.
CAUTION TO PARENTS IN HUSIBLE LIFE--On Mon-
day an inquest was taken at Headington (Own), before
Mr. CECIL, Coroner, on the body of John Burrows, an •
infant five days old. Elizabeth Lambourn, aunt cf the
deceased, deposed that on Thursel,y, the 29th ult. in •
consequence of the child being disordered in its bowels,
she poured out ot a bottle producel, half a tea spoonful
of syrup of poppies, which was administered to it by
another witness; shortly aferwards the-child was'taken
very ill, and turned black in his face and hands, and
on the lollowing morning died. Witness procured the
stuff of a horse doctor's a ife a fortnight previously for
her own child ; there was no label on the bottle, and no
directions were given when it was sold.' No medical
person attended the child. The horse doctor deposed
that he made the syrup agreeably to directions in Bu•
chan's Domestic Medicine, 2.5 drops of laudhaiuin to one
ounce of syrup; he never gave it 7.6 a child so young;
does-not know whether half a tea spoonful would occa-
sion the death of that child. The Jury, after a short
deliberation, returned a verdict that" the infant died in
consequence of having too large a quantity of syrup of
poppies administered by an ignorant, person, without
.any intention of doing harm."

ambition which was at once a source of pride add pain
to his father, is now studying the law at Edinburgh.

vergarry for the same city. The Gentlemen on the
property, with a number of the smaller tenants, accoras
parried the Lady and family of their late lamented
Chief, when they took their departure from their native
glens, and did not return till they saw them in safety

scene; " for never," says our correspondent, " was
there a Lady of Mrs. MACDONNELL'S rank and Stations
in the country so respected and beloved by the tenantry.,
