The Adjutant-General, Major Tigue, has, therefore, determined on appointing another firing day shortly, in order to enable those who have notyetcompetedtodo so.

There !_ is little or no work to be obtained by mechanics ! and labourers, no country to cultivate, and no access to it if there were. The 7 fvllinrfton Indcponclet)/ says : —" Lately, anew order of rqgues have honored several houses in this city with a visit. We allude to a class of vagrants,, not courageous enough to become absolute housebreakers, but able, by their appearance and affected roughness, to terrify women and children. 'f he manner in which these fellows proceed is very simple. They knock at a door, and on being asked " who is there ?" reply " a stranger;" if the enquirer is a woman, they invent some plausible story in order to get her to open tile door, but if tliey hear a man's voice, they inquire for some imaginary individual and decamp. Instances have come to our knowledge where some of their number have obtained an entrance into houses, and were only got out by the threat of calling for a gentleman in the next room. As a rule, they are not violent, and restrict their little gam"s to terrifj'iug helpless women and children out of a few shillings ; but we would strongly recommend them to take warning in time, as some of the community have expressed their determination to give them awarm reception in the shapeof a little dose of small shot, or a reminder from a life preserver.
