SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STAG HUNT. Tuesday last the Hon. Graotleyßeiteley's Stag Hounds, at tended by a most numerous field, among whom were Lords Car marthen, Belfast, E. Chichester, Sir Francis Burdett, and many others of the Nobility and Gentry, met at Uxbridge Common, where a fine deer was enlarged for the day's amusement.—The deer took from Ickenham across the fine grass country for Harrow, but turning to the right she stretched for Down Barnes. Yeading, and Hayes, across the Uxbridge road to Southall, Heston, and Sutton, leaving Hounslow Barracks on the left she ran for Bedlont ; but being headed she came back for Harlington, Cranford Park, and Hayes; then turning to the left she passed Dawky Wall, Hillingdon, Cowley, and Drayton, till she came to Riching's lodge, near Colnbrook ; here the pack came to a check for some time, but hitting en the scent again they ran her to Black Park, where she jumped up in view from a small patch of gorse, and, after a very sharp burst, was killed at Iver. The run lasted five hours, and the exteht of country crossed was immense, not more than twenty horsemen, besides the Mr. Berkeley. and the Whipper in, were in at the death. SALE OF RACERS. Lord Exeter has sold his Derby colt Zinganee, by Trump, out of Folly, for 1,500 guineas, to Mr. Wm. Cbifney, who trains for Mr. 'Thornhill, and for whom the purchase is supposed to have been Yu at! e. Mr. G. Edwards has sold his colt Upas, by Abjer, to Mr. ldulony. THE FANCY. Dobell and Bailey—Tuesday evening the fourth deposit was made good In this match, at Peter Crawley's,—*Dobell was present, and posted the pony on his own account. " Down comes the rain," as usual, was shouted by his pals, till Peter's parlour echoed again.— There wss no betting, although liberal odds were offered on Dobai. He looks exceedingly well, and appears to have lost at kast a stone of fat. _ ~. ._.. The Sailor Buy can be backed against Ike Dodd for seSO aside —and Mick Reid offers to light him for the same sum.

The inhabitants of Peckham Rye and its vicinity have, within the last few weeks, been greatly alarmed in con sequence of the nightly burglaries which take place in that quarter. Scarcely a night passes but several houses are broken into, notwithstanding the roads are all pa troled. A considerable quantity of plate and other va ludble articlei have lately been stolen from different ntlernen's houses in that neighbourhood. Yesterday morning as Wm. Broom, a carman in the employ of Mr. Hill, a builder of Turner -street, Com- 1 nrercial-road, was driving a horse and cart belonging to his employer, the horse took fright, and ran off at a furious rate. Broom, in endeavouring to stop him, %was thrown down, when the cart passed over him, and killed him on the spot. • A young Gentle Man near Manchester, having a fine water spaniel, in order to exhibit his powers to some spectators, threw a stone into a pond ; the dog went in sifter it, and brought up a green bag, containing a fine, 'violin and bow. An Irishman cried out, " Throw an other stone, who knows but the dog may bring up the fiddler himself! and then we can have a jig on the spot." Accounts have been received from the Blossom fri• gate, Captain BRECHT, stating the arrival of that ship at St. Bins, in December last, from Behring's Straits. Capt. BRECHT entered Kotzebue's Inlet, and sustained very severe and bad weather, which prevented the Blossom penetrating so far as she did in the summer of 1826. in search of Captain FRANKLIN and his party. Captain BRECHT fell in with some natives who were extremely hostile, and from whose conduct fears were entertained that the party he was in quest of had been destroyed by those ferocious people. After remaining as long as possible, thi Blossom left the coast, and proceeded to the southward, and may be expected home in the course of the summer. Captw.n BRECHT, his officers. and crew, were all in good health. Yesterday, while a waggon, laden with coals, was turning out of High -street, Aldgate, into Petticoan•lane, a respectable looking female, who appeared far ad vanced in pregnancy, stood alongside the Coach and Horses public house to avoid danger; the place, how ever, being extremely narrow, and the pavement at this particular spot very bad, the vehicle, with a sudden jerk, came to one side of the street, and the end of the shaft coming with great force against her stomach, nearly forced its way through her. When released she was placed on a shutter, with the blood streaming from her, and removed to the London Hospital, where her recovery was considered hopeless. Laurence Going, a labouring man, was stabbed at Ballynamasna, about midway between Clogheen and Caher, on the night of the 17th instant. He was at the tiouse of Thomas Connell, and retired to bed in an out house, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock at eight. While asleep, some person or persons entered the house, and stabbed him with a large knife in the side, of which he died the following day. Dr. GALLOGLY, from Clogheen, attended bim, but found that surgical aid was unavailing. An inquest was held on his body on Thursday last, when there was evidence elicited which led to the apprehension of a young man of the name of Murphy, and a female accomplice. Both of them have been transmitted to Clonmel gaol for trial. —Tipperary Free Press. In an action for slander, recently tried in the Jury Court, in Scotland, a Gentleman of the name of KINGAN, a merchant in Glasgow, recovered damages to the amount of 5001. from Mr. ROBIRT WATSON, a banker in Glasgow, for having described the plaintiff as the author of certain anonymous letters, which contained matter of an obscene and abominable description, highly injurious to• the feelings of several respectable individuals. EXPLOCI(.N AT J 4 'mow Cowzny.—We briefly ad vetted to this accident on Thursday. The names of the pet sons who have been thus suddenly deprived of life are Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Gibson, Joseph Robson, R. Fletcher, Thomas Bewick, Michael Whitfield. Geo. Johnson, and George Bell. An Inquest was held on Monday, the 17th inst. before M. Hall, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Thomas Jefferson, and the Jury, after beating the evidence of several witnesses, returned a verdict of—Accidental Death. One of the men, who was brought out of Jarrow Colliery alive, after the sccident, bad his flesh hanging from his bones in an awful state. Thursday night last, or early the following morning. the mansion-house of GRAMM RANT, Esq. Mendham, near Harleston, Norfolk, was entered by two or three men and a woman, at the kitchen.window, by breaking out a sash square, and undoing the fastening thereof.— They first proceeded is rifle the bureau in that room, but were disappointed in finding the booty they sought; Abwever, they took eleven silver spoons and some other property. They then, it is supposed, set open the hall doots and the other outer doors, in order to effcct a speedy retreat. They afterwards proceeded to Mr. RA ''s sleeping-room ; they forced the lock and fas tents% from the door, and immediately went to the bed and struck him three or four blows across the head with a.hurdle stake, which caused him to bleed very co immlY• He, however, got horn his bed and grappled with one of the villains, but was overpowered by them, and they made their escape, taking 451. in notes, and some barer from his breeches pockets, which were lying by his bedside.—Wilk herald. sated Mai*. conimabd of Fontin,' Colonel t er n Ireland, lieutenan t . r In fantry.

A very numerous Meeting of Market Gardeners and Farmers, who are in the habit of resorting to Covent garden Market, was held ye s terday , at the King's Arms Tavern, Palace-yard, Westminster, " to take into con sideration the Bill now before Parliament, for the regu• lation and improvement of the market." Mr. WILMOTT was called to the Chair. He stated that this meeting had been called in consequence of a communication made to the Committee of Gardeners, from Mr. Rogers, Agent to the Duke of Bedford, re specting a Bill now before Parliament, by which some important alterations were proposed in regard to the future regulation of the Marker. By this Bill no great increase of tolls was proposed; but a serious increase would be made in respect to the rents.— The plan which had hitherto been acted on was to charge for yearly standings, at an average of . about 40s. per annum, in place of which it was now proposed to charge those standings at the rate of ls. 3d. per superficial square foot ; and this would have the effect of increasing the rental from 40s. to 131. 10s. per annum. The communication from his Grace's Agent had been of a favourable character, and the Committee did not feel themselves authorised to give any opinion on the subject, without submitting it to the considera tion of a General Meeting. Mr. CHAPMAN then submitted a plan of the proposed alterations to the Meeting, and explained it with a great deal of minuteness. lie contended that there were some infringements on their previous privileges, which de manded very serious attention, and the Meeting would be only acting with justice to themselves, and others in terested in the matters, by making a respectful remon strands to the Duke of Bedford against some of the clauses in the Bill. The whole of the power would be vested in the hands of the Duke, and whatever nuisances might now exist, or hereafter arise, prejudicial to the interest or convenience of those who resorted to the market, they could have no controul under she provi sions of the proposed Bill. Mr. Wn.cocxs suggested that the best way to evade the threatened evil would be to appoint a Committee, for the purpose of making some amicable arrangement with his Grace's Agent, as it would be highly impo litic and inexpedient for the Gardeners to adopt any hostile measures. This proposition appeared to meet the general con• currence of the Meeting. Mr. CHAPMAN said, that before any specific motion was put, be would beg leave to read a few Resolutions which had be.n previously drawn up. The Resolu tions were then put and cart ied unanimously. The first related to the prevention of china and earthenware shops or stands, as being an infringement on the original Charter, by which it was constituted a public market, for the sale of vegetables, fruit, and flowers, and for no other purposes. The two next Resolutions referred to the cleaning of the market, and the last expressei the full conviction of the Meeting, that any alteration in the tolls or rents would be prejudicial to the interest of those resorting to the market. The CHAIRMAN observed. that the present rental was calculated at about 4,3801. and, by th• proposed altera tion, the annual tolls would be 10,0001. The opinion, therefore, of all those who had been consulted on the subject was, that a charge of Is. 3d. o• each supet ficial square fuot for the standings, was a very objectionable alteration. After some further discussion, a Committee of 18 was appointed to wait on the Agent of his Grace the Duke of Belford, for the purpose of endeavouring to make sume amicable arrangements on behalf of the growers; after which the Meeting broke up. MEETING OF THE ELECTORS OF SUDBURY. On Monday evening the electors of Sudbury resident in London, attended at the White Hatt Inn, Bishops gate, in consequence of an invitation by circular letter, to meet J. N. Macleod, Esq. a Gentleman understood to be of highly respectable family and fortune, who has come forward as a candidate for a seat in Parliament, which will shortly be vacant by the rtairement of John Wilks, Esq. jun. from public life, and Nis resignation as one of the Representatives of the ancient and loyal bo rough of Sudbury. It was in the certainty of this event that the electors of Sudbury were now invited to meet the Gentleman who has started as a candidate for the vacant seat.— Major BROWN took the chair. He was supported on his right by the candidate. The large room of the White Hart was filled with electors, who sat down to a sub stantial supper, of which they parook without evincing any delicacy or restraint, though it was not mentioned in the letter of invitation as one of the inducements.— The majority of the electors were evidently of the lowest class of mechanics or day labourers. After the customar y manifestations of loyalty and patriotism, Sudbury was honoured with a toast. The CHAIRMAN, in an appropriate speech, introduced to them the candidate as a Gentleman who, from the respectability of his family and the independence of his fortune, from the soundness of his political principles, his talent, and industry, was calculated to do them ho nour as their Representative. Mr. MACLEOD came forward, and was received with much applause. He made warm professions, in gene ral terms, of his desire to serve them, and be connected with them as their Representative. He declared himself to be a staunch supporter of the present Administration,• so long as they did not swerve from the line of policy which they now pursued, and he avowed that he was hostile to the Catholic Claims. These professions were re ceived by the electors with cordial marks of approbation. Mr. Isaac Duca them rose to address the Meeting; but no sooner had he expressed his intention of making observations and putting questions to the candidate, that a scene of the utmost violence and uproar ensued. He leaped on the table, put his arms akimbo, and calmly expressed a determination to wait until he had tired down all opposition. The CHAIRMAN begged in vain that Mr. Duce might be heard. The candidate repeatedly requested as a favour to himself that Mr. Duce might be heard. •Whatever questions he might think proper to be put, should be answered explicitly and willingly. These requests did not, however, meet with the slightest attention, and the uproar continued. An Elector, who sat on the right of the Candidate, exclaimed, U that they were willing to hear Mr. Duce as a matter of indulgence." Mr. Duca spurned the word indulgence, declaring that he would receive no indulgence at the hands of anyone there; and that, as an elector of Sudbury, he was determined to be heard as a matter of right. He charged the elector who made the offer with corruption. The Elector—" If you don't behave yourself, Master Duce, I'm d--d if we don't have you turned oat— there now I—that's coming to the point. We'll have no irrevelant matter Ileff." Mi. Duca dared any one to put hand• upon him ; and the time went on in an uproar between the contending parties, whether Sir. Duce should or should noi be beard. One elector endeavoured to direct the attention of the electors by singing a comic song; but when be ceased the noise was resumed. A man with a clarionet came amidst the contending parties, and tried to drown their voices by blowing a tune in as high; loud, and shrill a key u he could attain ; but he failed. Another person imitated the braying of an ass, with as little effect. The friends of the candidate, seeing pet haps no probability of obtain ing a restoration of order, not to lose time, began to solicit the electors, and to shake hands with them almost in dumb show, expressing to them how deeply they felt the honour of the attendance of so respect able, so independent, and so enlightened a body of men. Several assured the candidate of their votes, as they believed him to be a to good 'on." In an interval which occurred, he stepped forward and addressed them,-44 Gentlemen, I beg to propose a toast, which you will all drink with great pleasure. si May the poor man"—G" Silence, vociferated an elector at the table; " silence, while the Gentleman's speaking."] fg May the poor man"—C" Silence, you at to'ther end of the room."]—" May the poor man never want a shilling." This tenement was unanimously ap plauded, and the candidate having obtained some abate. ment of the noise, he again proceeded to address them., Nothing, he said, could exceed the kind manner in which he had been received. Had he gone amongst brothers, he could not have been received with more kindness. ;He was no speechifier, and he only addressed them as a plain straight forward man. Of course they knew nothing of him, and he therefo;e begged of them to make every in quiry into h;s character, and deal with him as they should find it. They had got quit of a person whose con nection with the Borough had certainly been injurious to it ; but he (Mr. Macleod) hoped he should repair the injury. He promised them all, upon his honour, that whether they went down to vote for him or not, the whole of their travelling expenses should be paid— (Loud applause). He would, on their behalf, and as their Representative, oppose the d-1 himself—(A laugh). " Then you must be a good an," said one of the Meeting. An Elector—But you would like an opposition, would you not ? The Candidate—No. No candidate likes an opposi tion. I hope I shall be able to do without one. The Elector.—But all electors like an opposition.— ' (Much laughter). Mr. Duca again appeared on the table, when the uproar was resumed. He stated that he ap peared there as a man who had been unjustly dis graced by an unfortunate acquaintance, and he was determined to justify himself. He had a vote is to dispose of," as well as the rest present, and he was determined to be satisfied. Sudbury had been bought, and he owed it to his town to take care that it was not sold, if he could help it. He then stated to the candi date, that it was currently rumoared abroad that he had given Wilks a sum of money to induce him to re sign his seat. Now he (Mr. Duce) asked the candidate, as a man of honour, whether he had, directly or indi rectly, had any commenication with Wilks, or given him any thing to induce him to resign ? The Candidate made some answer, but his voice was drowned by the uproar which took place to prevent the question being put. He, however, clasped his hands, and raised them, as if to appeal to Heaven that it was not true. Two men attempted repeatedly to get upon the table to throw off Mr. Duce, bat were dragged back. More liquor and tobacco was brought in, when there was a short scramble for it; but as soon as it bad disaßpeared the clamour was renewed. It was now, however, occa sioned chiefly by disputes with each other. Several attempted to dislodge him by applying lighted candles to his person ; but he kicked them out of their hands. He stood on the alert, holding up his coat-laps as high as he could, to prevent assailants in the rear seizing them and tearing them off. At length two men seized him, and threw themselves off the table with him, and they fell with him upon them, knock ing down several others with a degree of violence from which loss of life, or the fracture of limbs, might have been expected ; but he rose again with surprising activity, and with a triumphant air re sumed his place on the table. He was again dislodged in a similar manner, when down came men, bottles, and glasses, altogether. He was still uppermost, and re sumed his place over the sprawling electors, none of whom appeared to be hurt. Two of the assailants having exchanged chance blows, mistook each other for adversaries, and a set-to took place between them,which created a diversion. The candidate now took his hat and left the room. The Chair was previously aban• doned. The crash of a table and the fall of a glass was heard at the opposite end, where perhaps there was more boxing. The waiters bestirred themselves to get bottles, bowls, and glasses out of the way. Mr. Duce remained master of the field, though surrounded by a number who were inebriated, and threateaing on sup porting him. Subsequently, the whole of the electors dispersed, without any material injury having been occasioned. The Committee of the shipwreck Institution of Lon don have awarded ten sovereigns to David Kidd and the crew of the boat who lately saved the men from the wreck of the Fancy, at the mouth of the Tay; and directed that 21. shall be paid to Kidd, and 11. paid to each of his gallant companions. The silver medal of the Institution has also been awarded to Kidd. Saturday last an old man, only known by the name of " Old William," and who had swept the crossings of the streets off the Adelphi, dropped down in a state of exhaustion from want of food, and soon afterwards expired. There has recently been brought to England the head of an Hippopotamus, with all the flesh about it, in a high state of preservation. This amphibious monster was harpooned while in combat with a Crocodile, in a lake in the interior of Africa. The head measures nearly four feet long and eight feet in circumference. Its ears are no bigger than a terrier's, and are much about the same shape; the jaws open about two feet wide, and the cutting teeth, of which it hath four in each jaw, are about a foot long, and four inches in circumference This formidable and terrific creature, when full grown, measures above seventeen feet long from the extremity of the snout to the insertion of the tail, above sixteen I feet in circumference round the body, and stands above seven feet high. It runs with astonishing swiftness for its great bulk, at the bottom of lakes and rivers, but not with so much ease on land. When excited, it puts forth its full strength, which is prodigious. " I have seen," Jays a mariner, as we find it in DAMPlill, " one of these animals open its jaws, and seizing a boat be tween his teeth, at once bite and sink it to the bottom. I have seen it upon another occasion place itself under one of our boats, and rising under it, •verses it, with six men who were in it, but who, however, happily received no other injury." At one time it was not un common in the Nile, but now it is no where to be found in that river, except above the cataracts. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEICESTER, Dimwit N. . Elizabeth Holmes was indicted for wilful and corrupt pesjury. The prisoner, it appeared, at the last Quarter Sessions for this county, prosecuted Mrs. Flint, the mis tress of the workhouse at Sapcote, and two other persons, for an assault ; sod swore that they dragged her out of her bed with such violence, as caused her to vomit blood and to faint; and that upon recovering from her swoon, she found the other two persons pouring water in large quantities upon her. She also upon that occasion denied having used certain threats towards Mrs. Flint, and uttered other expressions which were mentioned to her. It now appeared from the most satisfactory evidence, that the prisoner's testimony was totally false from first to last. In the course of the trial the prisoner, upon being asked from time to time if she bad any questions to put to the witnesses, invariably replied, a I'll be tried by no one but my King and my country ; I'll be tried by his Royal Majesty King George the Fourth, and the twelve honourable Lard Judges of the land; and I will not submit to be tried by any one else." From her frequent and unvarying repetition of this reply, it was judged necessary to make some inquiry into the state of her mind; and for that purpose, both the gaoler and the surgeon of the gaol were called ; but they both stated that they had never seen any grounds for believing that the prisoner's mind was in the slightest degree unsound. Verdict-01day. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—SHREWSBURY, Maass 24. Clus. SUM—Before Mr. Barna VAUOMAIIt and a Special Jury. AM DIM. OLDNALL AND WIIE. %DEAKIN AND WOOLY. This was an action of ejectment, brought to recover the possession of an estate called Woodall, in this county. The lessors of the plaintiff, Mrs. Mary Oldnall and her husband, Mr. Thomas Oldnall, in right of his wife, claimed to be entitled to the possession of the property in question, as devisees of Miss Frances Oldnall, heir at law to Thomas Oldnall, Esq. the person last seised.— The defendant Deakin is the tenant of the estate, dis claiming the title of all the Wooleys, and the other 'defendant is another claimant to t‘ , e property.— Mr. Thomas Oldoall, it appeared, was a Gentleman of considerable property, and though encumbered with a number of relations moving in the bumbler spheres of life, married into the Clive family, some of the deeds produced in evidence being obtained by the means of Lard Powies agents, to whose care they had devolved. Mr. Thomas Oldnall died in 1799 without issue, leaving the whole of his estates to his widow, Mrs. Judi:h Wooley, for life, with the reversion to his right heirs. Mrs Judith Wooley survived her husband till 1824, and since that period no less than five actions of ejectment have been prosecuted for the recovery of the property in question. Miss Frances Oldnall, the heir at raw, from whom the lessors of the plaintiff claim as devisees, was, it appeared, the daugh ter of the sixth son of the common ancestor. She was exceedingly infirm, in consequence of some accident that occurred to her in her youth. During a consi derable Fart of her life she resided with her aunts at Worcester, and on their death went .to' reside with the mother of Mrs. Mary Oldnall, one of the present lessors of the plaintiff. Miss Frances Oldnall •was, it appeared, afflicted with deafness and a partial blindness, and when she expressed her desire to make her will in favour of the present claimant. the respect able attorney who was employed on the occasion, with a view to making her thoroughly acquainted with the subject thereof, caused it to be drawn in large printed characters, in order that she might be able to read it herself. Mr. Taunrow, the Learned Counsel for the plaintiffs, in exhibiting this will, produced considerable mirth, and took occasion to remark. that he wished the proprietors of coach-offices would cause their notices of their non liability to be written in letters equally large, and then the public would not have to complain of so many b^xes and packages being lost. He then went on I. trace up the pedigree of the Oldnall family, and to account for the different intermediate branches of it between elder sons of the common ancestor, and the father of Miss Frances Oldnall, from whom the lessors of the plaintiff claimed, and concluded by putting in a number of letters from the late Mr. Thomas Oldnall to his cousin at Worcester, and. other members of the fa• wily, all mentioning Miss Frances in the relation described in the pedigree ; and several m rriage settle ments and wills were also produced, corroborative of that pedigree. Mr. CALPEILL, on the part of the defendants, in a most humorous and ingenious speech, contended, that although the Learned Counsel for the plaintiffs had made out Miss Frances Wooley to be the person they represented her, still as lessors of the plaintiff they were bound to show an indisputable title, which they had not done, as they had not accounted for the elder members of the family through which they claimed tore entitled by the daughter of the younger son. The will that had been produced in that singular form had not been proved in the usual manner, and reminded him more of the fictions of a fairy tale than the events of real life. A f,iry, or witch in distress, had been relieved, and in reward for the benevolence exercised in her behalf, this inestimable jewel was left behind; but it did not establish any claim to the Woodall estate more than it did to any other. A very intimate friend of his, who was Link of the Peace for the county of Surrey, claimed to be King of Corsica, and he would tell them how he established his claim. When King Theodore was in this country, by some of those strange mutations which govern human life, he was lodged as a prisoner in the King's Bench Prison. An Act was passed for the relief of in solvent debtors, and King Theodore took the benefit of that Act. It was provided by the Act, that the parties availing themselves of it should enter in their schedule an account of all the property they were possessed of, all which property, on their discharge, was to vest in the Clerk of the Peace for the county of Surrey. King Theodore, in his schedule, entered a pair of gaiters, two pair of leather breeches, and the kingdom of Con sica—(A laugh). In consequence of to h this,e Kinghisof (Mr. Campbell's) friend considered himself Corsica. He was called John the Thirds and his eldest son was very properly styled Pi ince of Bastia—(A laugh); and not until they were established is their kingdom would the house of Oldnall succeed to the utherstaake of Woodall. Mr. Baron VAIYOHAK having summed up, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. CROWN SlDE—(Before Mr. Judea Pmts.) Thomas Jones was indicted for horse stealiog. Thomas Nokes stated that he lived at Noughton, and on the 28th of February last had a brown mare, which he turned out upon the common adjoining his residence, at ten o'clock in the morning. He saw her again at eleven o'clock, and at thtee o'clock she was gone. He subsequently received her again from the coast.b.e of Lichfield. John Charles, a police officer of Lichfield; said. t`,•at in consequence of information which he relayed. he went to the Duke of York's Head public Mom where he found the prisoner s He asked him if be had a . horse to sell? The prisoner replied be had, and took bias to the stable where the prosecutor's mare was. Tke pri• RP ~ + f ti I ' r 1.. I ` 11 . , .. 1 it t I 1 .' I 1 t le : , 3 , 1 . ..
