PENALTIES.—The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes hereby give notice, that every person taking, killing, or
pursuing game, without fit st obtaining a certificate, incurs a penalty of £2O, and is also liable to be surcharged to
double the amount of the certificate duty.
Any person in pursuit of game, refusing, on being duly required, to produce his certificate, or to permit the same
to be read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of residence, also incurs a
penalty of £2O.
Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certificate at the rate of £1 is. Gd. will not authorise any person to
kill game beyond the limits of the manor for which he is deputed ; and, in order that a certificate at such rate of duty
may protect a gamekeeper, it is requisite, not only that he should be deputed by some lord or lady of a manor or
reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be registered with the clerk of the peace, or the gamekeeper will
be liable to be surcharged in double the duty of £3 Os. 10d., and also be prosecuted by any common informer for the
penalty of £2O.

MOURNING.—Mr. Littler, as may be seen from an
advertisement, has opened an establishment exclusively
devoted to the sale of mourning. This is a distinct bu-
siness, we are informed, in many other towns, and has
been carried on with much advantage to the public.
CHEAP TRIP.—We understand we are yet to have
another cheap railway trip excursion, and a delightful one
it is likely to be from the hints we have had of it. It is
proposed to go from Liverpool and Manchester, to Bir-
mingham, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Worcester, Bath,
and Bristol, and the price we are told to to be fixed at so
low a price as to suit all. The management will be in
the same hands as all the late trips from Liverpool, and
it cannot be in better. .

LIGHTING THE METROPOLIS.—The following curious
statistics, prepared by one of the principal gas companies,
will give some idea of the means at present employed for
lighting London and its suburbs :—There are 18 public
gas-works, conducted by 12 companies • their capital
amounts to upwards of £2,800,000, employed in pipes.
tanks, &c. The revenue derivable therefrom is estimate('
at £450,000 per annum. There are about 180,000 torts
of coals used annually ; there are 1,460,000,000 cubic feet
of gas made ; 134,300 private lights, 30,400 public lights;
380 lamplighters, 176 gasometers, several of them double.
and capable of storing 5,500,000 feet ; and about 2,500
persons are emplayed in various ways.
CURIOUS FACT.—It is a curious fact, that the five
commercial towns in England, namely, the metropolis'
' Manchester Liverpool, Birmingham, and Leeds, with
their suburbs, contain, within an area of 96,000 acres, or
as nearly as possible the area of Rutlandshire, a population
equal to the following seventeen purely agricultural cowl-
ties :—Bedfordshire. Huntingdon, Suffolk, Sussex, Berke,
Buckingham, Cambridge, Cumberland, Hertford, North
and East Ridings of York, Dorset, Rutland, Hereford,
Oxford, Westmoreland, and Northampton, with all the
country towns within those counties, which occupy 811
area of 10,000,000 acres, or about a third of the whole ex'
tent of England ; further, that the population of the semi!
five towns is equal to that of the whole of Scotland, with
its 19,000,000 acres.

CONFECTIONARY.-It will be seen by an advertise-
ment that a branch of the Dublin Confectionary Estab-
lishment has been opened by the proprietors Messrs.
Twet ny, in Berry-street. The shop is most beautifully
fitted up, and the stock comprises a variety of delicacies
(many of them peculiar to this establishment) sutied to
every taste from the richest viands to the more substan-
tial and beneficial " Constitutional Bread", an article
that is highly spoken of by our local physicians, and is
well adapted to invalids or those troubled with indiges-
tion.

SHOP EMBELLISHMENTS.—Every day brings forth
some new and elegant improvements in the architectural
embellishments of our shops, exteriorly as well as in-.
teriorly, and they who pass through our streets one day
admiring the rivalry in beauty of our shop fronts and
windows are only the more surprised the next day to see
how suddenly the objects of their admiration have been
eclipsed by other decorations—more chaste in des;gn,
more attractive in appearance, and certainly more calcu-
lated to display with effect the multifarious articles for
which our town is noted. Amongst the most modern we
may notice Mr. Briscoe's. Old Hall-street, Mr. Tuton's,
Mr. Mayor's, and Mr. Worldley's, in Lord-street, and
numerous others in Bold-street, more particularly Mr.
Scurfield's, late Cripps and Scurfield, and Mrs. W. Col-
lins, the saloon of fashion, both of which are fitted in-
teriorly with equal taste, and are worthy of admiration
not only for their elegance but for the superior conveni-
ences they possess. Mr. S. has, we are glad to learn,
signified his intention of closing at seven o'clock.
ENTRANCB TO JERUSALEM.—On entering the gates of
Jerusalem, apart from the overpowering recollections
which naturally rush upon the mind, I was in many re-
spects agreeably disappointed. From the descriptions of
Chateaubriand and other travellers, I had expected to find

see any reason to doubt the correctness of this first im-
pression. The houses are in general better built, and the
streets cleaner, than those of Alexandria, Smyrna, or even
Constantinople. Indeed of all the oriental cities it was
tchhea rfiarcstte ;
my lot to visit, Jerusalem after Cairo is the cleanest and
most solidly built. The streets, it is true, are narrow and
very rudely paved, like those of all cities in the East. The
houses are of hewn stone, often large, and furnished with
small domes on the roofs, which seem to be not merely
