Her per fsmance in this, as in most of the characters she has o ppeared in, was unequal ;—some parts below medio crity, others again reached almost to perfection. WARDS was very respectable as 111 r.

FIELD-SPORTS FOR APRIL . The severe frost, Width continued for nearly three weeks; and which began to vanish on the 25th of February, suspended, of come, the operations of spelt, in almost all its departments. except as far as relates to the fowling-piece ; and even this vastly improved engine could not be called much into action, as the season for the pursuit of those feathered tribes, which are indigenous, had expired prior to the commencement of the excessively severe weather just mentioned; whiletbe woodcock and the snipe (but the former, in paiticular) have been scarcer than for many preceding years.—ln deed, as far as toleriblY eitenvive experience will enable us to state, we may observe that, fur the last thirty years, woodcocks have not been known so scarce. In Wales, which, in general, is abundantly supplied with those birds, it is calculated that not more than one fourth the outrage somber made their appearance during the sea ws has just pressed away. In Lancashire, amid along the monis-western coast, where, also, woodcocks are generally plenti ful, the same remark will equally apply, and may, no doubt, be ex nadir' to all parts of tue kingdom. To what this circumstance can be attributed, we are not aware: it is generally suppoied that an early, and a severe winter is most productive'of woodcocks in this country, and we are Waned to think that this position is correct; at the same time we must observe that many winters, which have passed over our veteran heads, much more remarkable for mildness than the last, have, nevertheless, broight us plenty of the birds of which we are speaking. The scarcity, indeed, of feathered emi grants has not been confined to the snipe and the woodcock ; on the contrary, the web. footed tribe seem to fall off in the saineyropor tin-. In all the bays and inlets on the eastern and western coasts of the Highlands of Scotland, where, in winter, ducks and geese, in nearly ail their ramifications; appear in immeake slumbers, the scarcity, daring the last winter, has been very remarkable. , As the free/had the effect of suspending field sports, so, likewise, was its influence felt, and severely too, by those interesting birds which tainting British game. It retarded the offices of love; and many of the partridges, which had chosen mates prior to its setting in, became, as it were, more gregarious, and sought to pass the un seasonable severity of the weather in more enlarged society—the) • peeked, and thus might be seen is stores; in some parts, almost kyi hundreds. More partridges were left at the conclusion of the shoat ing season than we ever recollect to have noticed during the pro gress of our sporting career. Should the spring and summer of 1127 bo as favourable to propagation as those of 1126, the quantities of all kinds of same will be immense, particularly of the winged tribes; but two very favourable breeding seasons, in immediate succession, is not to be expected in this variable climate ; at least, another season equally favourable as the last, which,in regard to game , was more productive than any we ever before witnessed. Hare-hunting and coursing have been discontinued for the year, "et fox-bunting can still be followed ; but this glorious sport, except in a very few instandes, will cease before the end of the month, for reasons which are very obvious. and which, indeed, have been no ticed in former Numbers of our Annals. In lieu of it, however, the Turf will now afford manly and interesting amusement. Some taco-meetings have already come off, and that important one, the Newmarket Craven, will very shortly be on. Our next will cesi um ample elucidatory details. hares, from the effect of the frost, ran with uncommon speed • and perseverance in the beginning of March; and, as the severity . of the weather had put a stop to the pursuit of these animals during the greater part of the month of February, more were then killed than assn. —Annals of Spartan:for .41011. • As WOUSWELL'a collection of wild beasts, a f w days am were passing through Worksop, en its way to Nottingham, a small tiger ut de its escape from the caravan, and entered the farm yard of Mr. To o sea Ar ass, when several persons contrived to get so him iu an outhouse, and endeavoured to retake him by turning r ug is,but he nearly tore it to-pieces.

ANECDOTE OF THE LATE DUKE Or YOEK.—The following circumstance, witnessed by a Gentleman resident in the vicinity of Canterbury, we have not hitherto seen published. His Royal Highness, who used to be very food of walking, was owe day in a narrow lane in the City of London, where a carman-, endea vouring to get out of the way of other vehicles, had locked a post at the side of the carriage way so firmly in one of his wheels that it was immovable by ordinary means, and he was cruelly beating the shaft horse to endeavour to make it back the waggon to get `rid of the entanglement. The Duke observed to him that the best way would be to fasten Ills horses to the tail of the waggon, in ender by that means to draw it back, but the carman only replied by an insolent abusive answer. The man however, fouling front some of the crowd that it was the Duke Of You who had spoken to him, begged pardon of his Royal Highntsi, stating that he did not know him. The Duce contented himself with observing, that he ought to have been civil whether he was addeened by a Prince or any other individual. The master of the cumin hearing of the circumstance, was about to discharge him ; but the Does, being made acquainted with it, interfered, with effect to prevent hiabeing dismissed, upon his promising not igain to be cruel to his horses. ANECDOTE OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR.--The fol lowing anecdote, as connected with the early history of the present Loan Cisosecatiou, which we give as related by his Lordship at the table of a distinguished Member of the Administration, a short time since, la a proof how uniooked for causes, sometimes, produce astonishing effecu; and verifies the following well known quotation from There Is a tide In the liffairs of men, " Whida teen ot dieflood leads on to fortune." " At the commencement of my profenional career," said his Lord ship," I borrowed thirty pounds to go to the Northern . Circuit, but I got no briefs; and, Sir, I borrowed another thirty, but got, DO return. After some time et this pme, I had determined col borrow no more, when I was prevailed on by a friend to try again, and did so. At York I had a junior brief, and Day r.uroar, then a leading Counsel on the Circuit, was to state the east to the Jury. The cause was called on in the morning, and Davanrom was en. gaud in the Crown Court. 1," said the CHAtieLLLOD, " begged the Judge to postpone it ; but he replied, ' You must lead, Sir. Seorr and I did so; it was an action for an assault; two York shire Ladies had quarrelled at cards—a scuffle ensued—and one of theft was turned off her chair on the ground. This was the nature of the assault. It happened," proceeded his Lordship, that I set the Court in a roar of laughter, and succeeded for my client. Re tainers began to low in, end the pt 'aspect brightened. Ott proceed ing to Carlisle a circumstance oc:urted, which was far more for tunate than the preceding in its results, i 4 it laid the foundation of my future prosperity. I had retired ear'l to bed the night before the, Assizes, when I was aroused by a hooch at my door ; on get. tiag up, 1 found Mr. the Solicitor, with a large brief In his hand, who observed. that a cause was coming on in the morning, and the leading Counsel were all too mach engaged to read so large a brief- 1 you must take it, Mr." SCOTT.'

Ile ptessed me,.and by the little light there was, as the Attorney put the brief into my band, I saw written on it,' Mr. SCOTT, twenty guineas.' This was not to be refused ; and I said,' Well, I'll proniise to read your brief, and at Ate its sub- That's all we want, replied the Solicitor; so I dreaseo uyself, and read it.
