GAME. -- A few days ago, as a sailor was travelling on the great road near Botherton, a hare made an attempt to cross the road, but was so confounded by two carriages at the same time passing, that she ran so near the sailor as enabled him to knock her down, which having done, he put it in his handkerchief, and travelled on. He soon after met with an Hon. Baronet, particularly tenacious of his game, who immediately called out to the sailor, "I say man, is that your own hare?" and upon receiving no answer, the same question was twice repeated: at last the tar vociferated - "D ---- your eyes you lubber, do you suppose I wear a wig?"

We are sorry to observe, that the shameful practice which has been carried on here for two or three years by the boys, called dash eggs, is again revived with seemingly redoubled energy. In every street from Ouseburn to Skinnerburn, and from the Close to the Barras Bridge, crowds of boys are assembled (many of them stout fellows) during the whole of Sunday, busily employed with this new species of gaming; and such is the eagerness with which they are engaged in the business, that where ever they are assembled, nothing but uproar and wickedness prevail; their mouths being filled with horrid oaths and imprecations, according to their good or ill success. And such is their anxiety for the sport, that the last two or three market-days, they had, by eleven o'clock, bought up the one half of the eggs brought to market, leaving the other half to be bought by the inhabitants at double the price they would have cost; nor had they patience to wait until they could get them boiled, but were actually combating with the raw eggs in the very market. We sincerely hope the church-wardens of the different parishes will feel themselves called upon to exert their endeavours to put an end to a practice so injurious to the interests of the inhabitants, and destructive to the morals of the children of the lower classes.

The late Mr Townsend, walking down Broad-street, Bristol, during an illumination, observed a boy breaking every window which had not a light in it. Mr Townsend asked him how he dared to destroy people's windows in that wanton manner? "O, said the urchin, its all for the good of trade - I'm a Glazier!" "All for the good of trade is it?" said Mr Townsend, raising his cane, and breaking the boy's head, "There then you young rascal, that is for the good of my trade -- I'm a Surgeon."

The Emperor of the French is desirous of arranging his new establishment on the grandest possible scale. France he considers as his dwelling-house and family mansion, and his numerous enlargements of territory in Germany and the Low Countries as so many enclosures from the public common. Italy is to be his villa for occasional spring and summer visits, whence he enjoys a wide view towards Turkey and Egypt; in the last of which he proposes, whenever "he can call the land his own", to erect a prospect house, commanding the interesting distant objects of Madras and Calcutta, and the whole Hindostan country. Spain and Portugal, and Etruria and Napes, &c. &c. are merely his surrounding tenantry. He wants Sweden very much for an ice-house. He has not, as yet, turned his Imperial mind to the erection of a Mausoleum. When he comes to England, he will, most probably, find there his TOMB, in which he may repose gloriously, in the midst of his gallant companions in arms.

Exciseman's Dog - On the first day of partridge shooting, an exciseman, in the neighbourhood of St Andrew's, sallied forth with the intention of committing great havock among the winged tribe. He was long unsuccessful; at last his dog made a keen and steady point - the piece was cocked - the exciseman advanced - the game did not rise - still advancing, the sportsman discovered, with delight, that it was not a covey of partridges, but several ankers of gin, which his sagacious dog had pointed at.

Births - At Norfolk, the wife of a respectable farmer, (a Quaker) of twins. He has been married only nine years, and has had 18 children born within that time in lawful wedlock - all of whom are now living, and all boys. His wife has annually produced him doublets; but this year the Quaker jocosely remarked, that, from the thriving appearing of his prolific rib, he expects the coming produce to be triplets at least!

We understand the inhabitants of the island of Barbadoes have voted the sum of 500L, sterling, for the purchase of a piece of plate to be presented to Admiral Cochrane, for his meritorious conduct in the battle off St. Domingo.

Between Saturday night and Sunday morning last, St John's church, in Westgate-street, in this town, was entered by some person or persons unknown, at one of the windows fronting the South, who broke open the alms box, and took away the contents. It is upwards of eight years since the box was opened by the parish for the purpose of distributing the money, and it is supposed that the sums deposited by the liberal were very great. The depredators also ascended the roof of the church, which they stripped of a quantity of lead.
