PARTRIDGE SHOOTING.—The season opened on Tuesday,
and although the weather was favourable for the diversion of
sportsmen, we understand that very indifferent sport was met
with, as the birds were chiefly in the corn, patches of which
were uncut, and consequently could not be gi

The issues of Bibles and testaments were 776,360 copies,

commencement of the institution, 12,322,471 copies of the
Scriptures ; and the expenditure £2,610,160.
THE HOP HARVEST.—The signal failure in the hop crops
may be attributed in a great measure to the absence of those
electric showers during the present year, which prove so de-
structive to the aphides (smother fly) and other obnoxious
blights. It has been noticed by old -experienced hop-
growers that in those seasons when the planters have been
visited but by little thunder and lightning the atmosphere
has been loaded with insects, and that the hop-bine has been
most seriously affected in such instances.

RETIRVIENT OF LORD MORPETII.—We see by the Dub-
lin Evening Post, the official organ of Dublin Castle, that
Lord Morpeth is about to retire. Doubtless Lord Morpeth
must retire, because Mr. O'Connell has denounced him.
We suppose that his lordship will be succeeded•by a pledged
Repealer. Lord Morpeth, however, merits no pity. His
firmness in maintaining the union only renders by the con-
trast more disgusting the levity with which he surrendered
the interests of the religion of truth.
