Made up to the 7th of September, 1844.—8 y order of the Board of Stamps and Taxes,
CHARLES PRESSLY, Secretary-
PENALTIES.—The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes hereby give notice, that every person taking, killing, t,)r
pursuing game, without first obtaining a certificate, incurs a penalty of £2O, and is also liable to be surcharged in
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 sate
to be read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of residence, also incurs $
penalty of £2O.
Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certificate at the rate of £1 7s. 6d. will not authorise any person t°
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
reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be registered with the clerk of the peace. or the gamekeeper
be liable to be surcharged in double the duty of £4 Os. 10d., and also be prosecuted by any common informer for t4le
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 cheep 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.

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.
Tweeny, 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 design,
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 mo tern 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.
ENTRANCE TO JERUSALEM.—On entering the gates of
Jerusalem, apart from the overpowering recollections
which naturally rush upon the mind, 1 was in many re-
spects agreeably disappointed. From the descriptions of
Chateaubriand and other travellers, I bad expected to find
the houses of the city miserable, the streets filthy, and the
population squalid. Yet the first impression made on my
mind was of a different character; nor did I afterwards

isee 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
my lot to visit,
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

LIGHTING THE METROPOLIS.—The following canon'
statistics, prepared by one of the principal gas companies;
will give some idea of the means at present employeat_ffic
lighting London and its suburbs :—There are IS Pov,,'
gas-works, conducted by 12 companies; their csin`;
amounts to upwards of £2,800,000, employed in PiPe,d
tanks, &c. The revenue derivable therefrom is estimate
at £450,000 per annum. There are about 180,000 t°l3,
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,suvm
persons are emplayed in various ways.
CURIOUS FACT.—It is a curious fact, that the fire
commercial towns in England, namely, the metropol
Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Leeds, w'
their suburbs, contain, within an area of 96,000 acres,.°r
as nearly as possible the area of Rutlandshire, a popul3ti°o
equal to the following seventeen purely agricultural conk;
ties :—Bedfordshire, Huntingdon, Suffolk, Sussex, Ber th
Buckingham, Cambridge, Cumberland, Hertford, N9r,d,
and East Ridings of York, Dorset, Rutland, Here
Oxford, Westmoreland, and Northampton, with all "00
country towns within those counties, which occuPY,%.
area of 10,000,000 acres, or about a third of the whole
tent of England ; further, that the population of the s3,`"th
five towns is equal to that of the whole of Scotland, vIL
its 19,000,000 acres.
