POPULATION OF GaREcs.-The actual population of Greece, aceording to the most exact calculations, and taking a mid- dle estimate between the different valuations which have been made amount to four millions. Half live on terrafirma; a million in the D!orea and Negropont; and a million in the isles. This poput. lation. it is true, is comnposed of Greeks, Turks, Albanians, Jews, and Franks; but it mnay be with certainty calculated that the true Greeka compose three-quartets of it; and in adding to them those wholivein Asia, European Turkey, Russia, and Germany, the total population of the treelcs may still, without exaggeration, be rated at four millions. The populariotn of ancient Greece was not inore numerous. The rumour of a general election in the spring appears to gain ground. We have some reason to believe that whenever it takes place, there will be a strong contest for the county of Nortl. urnber'and, as certain influential families are understood to have determined to endeavour to throw out the present BVhig member. One of the gentlemen who represents this town in Parliament is even mentionedl as likely in such an event to offer himself as a can- didate. In that case, or indeed whether he offers himself for tihe county or not, we haye little doubt that some opposition will take place in the election for Newcastle.-T,Yne Mifercuzry. 'The representation of this county will become tlte suibject of extraordinary competition at the next election. The Right Hion. Charles Grant, the present member, the Right Hon. I,ord M.ac- donald, Colonel Baillie of Levs, A1. P. for Hendon, and J. N. lilacleod, of Mlacleoll, have respectively addressed the freeholders, asid the canvass is pioceeding with great spirit on all sides.-Invcr. ne;s Courier.

GA-ME LAws.-An importanit (lecision oni the gamile laws ocetirred at the Antrin3 session:s on Wednesday last. It ivits in the case of" thi Kinig.:aaainst J.Redmonid,Gcnt."and was art appeal from the conviction of NV. Clarke, Esq , of Steeple, in the fine of 51. for keeping and usiilg a gaiyhound dog, defendant niot being qa itied according to laws. Several objections against the appeal, and in sup- port of the conviction, were rirge(l by llr. Davison, attorney; but hcse were tnethy Alr. M'Donnell, counsel fur thnetdfedant, and were finally overruled by the Court. AIr. 'Donnell then called upon the court to einpanel a jury to try defetidant's flualificatiois under the act 27th Geo. IlI., chap. 25, section 8, whicil recites the lt0tl Williamn IlI., section 2anid 10, which forbids anv person hav- ing or keeping any setting dog or bitch, without having a frechold estate of 1001. a year, or a personial estate of ',0D01., or havinz a licence from thme justices as a trainer of setting dogs, uniter a penalty of al. The jary were then swtorn, and the followving issue was agreed upon:-" SVh,ther .r. Redmond be possessed of personal property to the amnount of 1,0001. mterlitsg-r be the son of an esquire-or be seized of a freehold estate of thc annual value of 1001. sterling." Aflter pronf beingentered intoof the propertyant rmnkin lifc of the defendant's frather, the jury returned the following verdict :_," Wre finid J. Redmond qualified, being the son ofan Esquire." The con. VictiOsn was accordingly quashed. Mr. All'Donnell applied fbr costs, on thc grouind that detendant had been before fined, and oH an ap- peal the conviction was reversed, and that this ;prosecution was more in the nature of a per.secution titan a fair application of penal statutes on a most unpopular subject. Costs were refused. ADtttch jorirnal states, tlhat at some late maces its Grow ningen, the victor was a girl of twelve yeass of age, who had herself broken in the horse shie rode !
