THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUCH'S HOUNDS. The hunting season in the neighbourhood of Kelso has bad a most brilliant commencement, and there has not been a blank day. On bas been admirable, particularly on different occasions the sport . - Thursday last, when there was as " hard a day's work" as ever was tun by the followers of the chase in Scotland. The hounds met at Kelso Bridge, and proceeded to Haddon-rigs, where they found directly, and went off at a rattling pace down to Cerium, on the English border, thence back to Caverton-Edge, through Bowmont Forest, and down to the covert at Kail Water Foot, where Reynard took to earth, and was lost; a remarkably fast run without a check. Kail Water Foot was next tried without success; but on reaching Woodenhill, at a short distance, the hounds again found di. redly, and as gallant a fox as ever broke covert led the way up Oxfam Water to Ulston Muir, across Jed Water to Boojedward, where they found a fresh fox end split ; but having been got to gether again on the old scent, away they went at full cry, crossed the Teviot near to Minto, passed Minus Church, and then right up to the top of Greenhill, where, as it was getting dark, the hunts man togged off the pack. Of the numerous field of sportsmen many were left in different quarters, fairly done up, and only the Duke of Buccleuch, Sir David Baird, Williamson the hunuman, and a groom of Lord Elcho's were up with the hounds. Among the distinguished sportsmen already at the Crow Keys Hotel, Kelso, are the Marquis of Tweeddale, Lord Skis, Sir David Baird, Mr. Campbell, of Saddel, Mr. Fletcher of Saltoun, Adam Hay, Esq. 111. P: Captain Jeffrey, Sic. and many others are expected soon to join in the exhilarating sport. There is also a good turn out of gentlemen residing in the district, and the gaiety of the scene, on hunting days, together with the cash spent, have enlivened in no small degree our neighbourhood, in most other respects, it mute be sorrowfully owned, dull enough.—Kelso Mail. GREAT STEEPLE CHACE. The second grand match between Captain Ross and Mr. Os. baldeston came off on Saturday last, in Northamptonshire, but at the same time that it proved highly attractive, fell infinitely short of the first in every respect. The Meltonia na were hit so hard in the former affair, that the betting was comparatively light ; so that, although the odds were on Mr. Osbaldeston, the Pychley gentle men could not get on their favourite to one - h alf the sum depending on the match between Clasher and Clinker. The terms of the engagement were these :—Capt. Ross to ride 15st. 71b. on Polecat, Mr. Osbaldeston 12st. on Pilot ' • the distance four miles : Mr. Osbaldeston staking 500 sows. to 200 toys. The two horses met last year in Leicestershire in a steeple match, the weights being equal, and Pilot winning in a common canter. The route on Saturday last was from the Blue Cover, across Harrington Field, by Louthiand Wood, to the Armytage, adjoining Leicester shire. At half-past ten, upwards of 800 fashionable' were at the starting point, and immediately after the parties went off at a slapping pace, Pilot leading throughout, and winning very easy, in fact, Polecat never had the slightest chance in any part of the race. There was some good leaping ; but the Captain's mare re -fused a brook at the bottom of Harrington, and ran through it, and from this spot Mr. Osbaldeston completely left him. The four miles were run in about fourteen minutes. The affair altogether was a sad disappointment, particularly to those who witnessed the brilliant thing on the .Woodsy previous. Mr. Osbaldestm's riding was admirable; and, if his age be con sidered, is au extraordinary instance of game and fine jockey hip; indeed, at fox-hunting, pigeon 'hooting, rowing, cricketiog, cock ing, or any other sport requiring skill, strength, or intrepidity, Mr. Osbaldeston is decidedly the best spottsman in the kingdom. lm. mediately en the termination of the match a fox was found, which took the turnpike road for about four miles, affording an interesting and animated sight to the spectators, amongst whom were several ladle's of rank. ALARMING FlRE.—Wednesday night, about halt ing nine o'clock, the size-home of two industrhass men. named Alanworth and Cowell, situated at the lower end of King-street, in this town, was discovered to be on lire by the man attending the stoves. He was going round the building from one fire to another, when be saw a reflection on t►e ground as if from fire, and on look. ing up discovered that the flames were issuing from the roof. The man instantly gave the alarm, and hundreds were immediately on the spor. but all efforts to save either the building or its contents were unavailing the warps that were hung up within the size•bouse burned with terrible fury ; and such was the force of the devouring element, that in less than half an hour the roof and the interior of the building were reduced to a mass of rubbish. The size-house stands upon an eminence, and when the flames got egress from the roof the fire had a singular effect upon the surrounding country, all being il luminated for miles round with a dim glimmering light. The fire bell was rung furiously soon after the discovery, and we should sup pose that not less than five thousand people were assembled round the building and in the streets. The effect of the light emitted by the flames on the countenances of the dense mass was beautifully picturesque, and far beyond the power of words to describe. So much b.s been said respecting the non-arrival of the fire-engines until the fire was nearly extinguished that it seems necessary to allude to it here. It has been stated that there ate no men appointed to manage the engines, and thus an attempt has been made to throw blame upon the police-trustees, but such is not the fact. Men are appointed by each manufacturer according to the number of hands he employs. and these men are much more efficient than the old firemen. Immediately on hearing the tire-bell, several o f t h e m e n repaired to the engines, and were on their way to the fire with all possible speed. but were stopped by some gentlemen, who told them that the engines were of no service, and, consequently, they turned back with them. This was certainly a great error on the part of the men, and one which, we hope, they will not again commit. It was thought by Mr. Graham, the acive Agent of the Yorkshire In surance Office, that the engines would be of service, and. on his arrivel at the fire, he despatched men for them, but they did n ot arrive until the Interior ot the building was destroyed. Great praise is due to Lieut.-CoL Wolohan...and the other ulcers of the se h regiment, for the prompt manner in which they called out flie.r men to assist in subduing tbm fire and to protect the property ; iso kind, indeed. were they that Mr. Greham h thought .t necessary to thank them publicly for.tbeir services. Ike building and 14 con tents were insured in the Yorkshire insurance-offise to the *Mount of 44'490; hut the d►mage austatiied will not, iris thought, be Loa c than 4110. It cannot be satieuetorly ucertaitted how the he Militated, as nu person *.a in the premise.—acteiburaw Gamete. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CR-CHA N CZ IJE7Mr ; IFOU RT. Dm. 7. CASOOSILNERSTON AND DUNSTAN V. FORD. This was an application to dissolve an injunction that had been obtained against the defendant, restraining him from making ships' cabooees, or hearths. similar to those made by the plaintiffs, who were the patentees of the invention. Mr. Parrs and Mr. Rouen were heard in support of the nsolon. Mr. Kunnas ; for the plaintiffs, said that the plaintiffs had ob tained this patent in liivif,and had undisputed possession of it ever since, till the defendant invaded it in the present year ; and, there fore, he was at least entitled to claim the continuance of the in jfinCtion till a new trial at law could be had to decide upon its vali dity. for so Lord &sou had always held in these cases. , Mr. Plower also supported the injunction. The Vsca-Cnancsmoa said, that when the injunction was air plied for, it was represented as an invention for a method of per forming the operation of cooking, distilling, and ventilating, on ship-board, by one apparatus; whereas,it now turned out to be for a method of performing these operations by one fire ; and the Court had not been fairly dealt with. The whole cue ought to have been brought forward at first. He thought that the bill must be retained, but that the injunction must be dissolved, and the plain tiffs be left to their action at law; nor did he think that he ought to impose the keeping an account on the defendant. COURT OF XING'S BF.NCH, Dec. 7. Sittings at NW Piles in London—before Mr. Justice Bayley and Common Juries. PIZTHAM V. ZLOZIDGS. • This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney. to re cover ..C6 101. from the defendant, a bone-dealer, residing at Stoke Newington. The plaintiff had purchased a mare of the defendant, which be had warranted to go quiet in single and double hones'. It afterwards turned out that the mare was restive in single har ness, and the plaintiff sold it by auction, and brought this action to recover the difference. Two witnesses were called who deposed to the warranty having been given to the plaintiff, and other witnesses deposed to themes being restive in single harness. James Eldridge, son of the defendant, stated that be received the money for the mare; had frequently driven her in single har ness before the sale, but had never found her at all restive—her month was particularly tender, so much so, that a judge of horses would find it out immediately—she was the steadiest mare he had ever sat behind. _ _ is a very free mare—never used her In a fly—she was too good, much too good for that—she was very fast. and it would not do to put a fast horse In a fly, because a fly was let by the hour.—Great laughter. Re-examined—Several persons had driven her besides himself— his lawyer for one--a most respectable grocer. living at Stoke New ington, had also driven her—this grocer was a relation of bis, and was a highly respectable grocer too.—( Much laughter.) Witnesses were then called with a view to prove that the De fendant had frequently driven the mare in single harness, and that she at those periods was not at all restive. It was also attempted to be shown that the cause of her restiveness wa► that a strong curb had been used, to which she was not accustomed. Mr. Justice Rev Lev summed up the evidence, and left it to the Jury to say whether t►ere was a warranty for the mare to go quiet in single and double harness ; if they were of opinion that there way a warranty, then they must consider whether the mare was quiet in single harneu, and if they were of opinion that she was restive, they must give the Plaintiff the benefit of their verdict ; but if, on the other ►and, they thought there was not a warranty, and that the mare was quiet in single harness, then they must retain a verdict for the Defendant. Verdict for the Defendant. 11110CUSAILIIIS TOL ♦ 11111111•141.1CIDOLIT V. HOLT. This action was brought by a young woman to recover £l4 for wages earned in the service of the defendant, previous to her ea verture. The wife of the plaintiff, formerly Anne Fairweather, hired herself as housekeeper to the defendant, at Atte a-year. She was between eighteen and nineteen at the time, and having re mained fourteen months in his service, bad earned the money which this action was brought to recover. The defence was founded upon a counter-demand for six pair of shoes, a black silk dress, a reticule, and other articles, which the de fendant supplied during her servitude. Mr. Justice BATLZY said it was remarkable that a young woman under age should be allowed by her master to wear articles so unfit for her condition in life. Mr. Baouanare said she was hired as a housekeeper. Mr. Justice B♦TLsr—Are these necessaries for an infant? Mr. Baouousst.—No. Mr. Justice Bsttrr.—See to what this leads :—you allow an in fant servant girl to drees in an improper way. The law will not allow you to make an infant pay for things not necessaries. She was to bays 112 a-year, and standing as the defendant did in the place of a parent, he could not say that black silk gowns and reti cules were necessaries. The receipt of 14 is admitted, and If you take your verdict for £lO it may be right. Counsel on both sides consented to a verdict for that amount, and the Jury accordingly gave the Plaintiff £lO. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS—Monday. Before Mr. Sergeant Aerials. Elisabeth Reeves was indicted for slaying Ann Browne on the 9th of November last, in Vine-court. Robert Brookes and Isaac Tate were the witnesses for. the pro mutton. They stated that the deceased came to the place where the prisoner resided, under the influence of jealousy, and in a state of drunkenness • that mutual crimination and recrimination took place between t hem, which ended In a male. Anne Browne re ceived a fall upon the pavement, by which her skull was fractured, and her death ensued, caused, as a surgeon stated, by the fracture in question. The deceased was • strong woman, and would have been, but for intoxication, mace than a match for the prisoner. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character for humanity and kindness of disposition.—Verdict—Net Guilty. Before Mr. Justice Ltirttanets. . Anemiala Balding was indicted for having in his possession a mould for coining shillings. Mr. SCA ILITT stated the case for the prosecution, and called witneiees, from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner re sided in Bloomsbury-market, and oa the s7ih of November his house was searched, and a muuld with a shilling in it, made of base metal, was found in a room on the second floor, besides various in struments used for coining. Various technical objections were taken by the prisoner's Counsel, but they were over-ruled, and the case went to the Jury, who, due a abort deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. NEW COURT. Benjamin Gallas, aged 26 years, was found Guilty of stealing various carpenters' tools on the gist of Nov. last, the property of John Bowling. Esq. surgeon, of Fulham. WINTER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT- 7 Hguiroas. Mc. 7. The Commission for holding a Special Gaol Delivery for Hert fordshire was this morning opened by Mr. Baron Gasaow and Mr. Baron Boat.mus. Their Lordships having attended Divine Service at the Church, Mr. Baron Gaasow charged the Grand Jury. The Calendar con. taus the names of 54 prisoners. The offences for which they stand charged consist of manslaughter, arson, house-toreaking, re ceiving stolen goods, hone and sheep-stealing, and numerous potty Weenies. Before Mr. BUM BOLLAND. Charles Link, a shoemaker, of Hertford, was indicted for re ceiving four sacks of flour, knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. RTLAND stated the case for the pro.ecutiou ; Mr. Demme defsnded the prisoner. Mr. Baron HOLLAND directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner, there.not being suMdent evidence against him. Before Mr. Baron Gaaeow. Joseph Wexler, aged 80, and liteljanat Winks., aged 28, were found guilty of stealing a sheep, the property of Mr. Wm. Kimp ton, a farmer at Watson, Hens. Harry Decimals Woodd, aged 22, stood capitally indicted for stealing In a dwelling-house a quantity of plate, value 4180, the pro perty of Geo. Boustmont, Eaq. of &try-green, Clieshunt. The charge was completely proved. Mr. Baron Gram, having summed up the evidence at great length, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty —Death.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SI ANSIOg-HOUSR. A Savoyard bray was brought, together with his monkey, before the Loan Mayon, on a charge co/vagrancy. An officer stated that the boy bad, during several days, sta. Coned himself in Cheapside. with his monkey. He was half naked and dirty ; and the monkey, whose natural jacket appeared to be in a very woful plight, stuck dose to him, and looked upon all the passers-by in the most melancholy way imaginable. grouping, in fact, was such, that few could pass without throwing something to the two poor creatures." They were routed from their post several times by the officer, who at last became so well known to the monkey, that as soon as he appeared in the neigh bourhood Jacko gave his master, who' usually sat with his head between his legs, a twinge by the ear and a shake, and off they moved for a time. The place was, however, too profitable to be reared for any length of time ' • and the police, although of the old stock, proved too clever for the two vagraata. It was stated that numbers of those boys provided with monkeys, bad lately arrived at Portsmouth, and were sow settled In Field lane, from whence they are sent out by fellows upon various beats in the metropolis, e whence they picked up as much as paid their employers well h assistaining them. One man had brought them over as a speculation, but he found a variety of bidders for the article.—(Laughter.) Tate LORD Mena wished the reciprocity system was adopted with respect to this commodity ; but our beggars are not enter prising, or perhaps were too weU fed to try the ezperiment (a laugh.) The boy was interrogated in French and English, but he at tended to no question put to him. He seemed to rely upon the monkey to get him out of the scrape. ' A Beadle who had seen the two delii.quents before, seriously assured the Lord Mayor that both could answer for themselves. It was nonsense to think that the boy left every thing to the monkey [laughter.] The Loan Maros The monkey has made himself intelligible to me, certainly. I can see that he has bad no breakfast, and that be fears he will get none while his friend is in prison ; but though it may be a hard thing upon the monkey, he must be kept out of the streets. The monkey pee the bay a twitch ; and the latter, u if he really was taking a Mat, said that be belonged to the oniony in Field.lane. The LORD MAYOR ordered that the companions should be de tained in the Compeer, and that Intelligence of the state of the co lony should be brought to him. The Vagrant Act gives full power to punish persons who send forth others to collect alms; and it is by no means creditable to the police that those who pocket the profits escape with impunity. GUILDHALL. Charles Parry, the man who was charged with killing his infant son, aged about twelve months, was brought before Dlr. Alderman Lucas. The beater of the iron which the prisoner threw at his wife, and which unfortunately struck the child, entered at sae side of the head and came quite out at the other, passing through the brain. The child was at his mother's breast at the time, and the prisoner was standing about two yards distant. The prisoner (who seemed to have a proper feeling of his pain ful situation) said he was very much intoxicated at the time, and pad no intention to kill the child. He was remanded tin Wednesday. Seven persons filifineed for drunkenness in the course of the day. The idea of setting up stocks in the Old Halley yard, for the punishment of drunkards found in the City, seems to be seriously entertained. BOW-STREET. A peor.looling man, whose face had not known the advantage of s razor for some time, was yesterday brought before Sir Reymann Bums, charged with having broken a lamp in one of the purlieus of &. Gilds. The miserable creature admitted the charge, and assigned as his reason for committing the act, that he wanted to be brought be. fore a Magistrate in order that the parish officers of St. Giles's might be compelled to receive him into their workhouse. He was legally chargeable to the parish, and was destitute or any means of support ; and far the last six or seven weeks had not only not known the comforts of a bed to rest his weary body upon, but bad been without even a shelter for his bead. Last night being Immoderately cold, and unable any longer to remain in the open air, he resorted to the expedient of smashing the lamp, as the most innocent species of offence which be could commit to obtain a lodging in the watch-house. The constable said he stated the same reason to him when he took him into custody. Rir R. Ramous directed that be should be detained until the at tendance of some one from the parish could be secured. A number of disorderlies were charged with having damaged the we- iaterproof capes of the policemen. - Sir Rscurkao—lt would that war is Intended to be waged against these useful appendages to a policeman's comfort. If. however, the material is not over strong, still they are not to be wantonly torn. The Magistrate ordered each defendant to pay 6s. 6d. the cost of the cape, which be hoped would cheek the in crease of the coll. A young woman named Sarah Lewis alias Om*if, was charged by police strjiafit• tarring, letter V. division. On Sunday evening his attention was drawn to a large crowd of persons assembled in Shire-lane, and he found that it bad been collected by the freaks of the prisoner, who was attired In boy's clothes, and dancing about the lane. He took her to the watch house, and in the course of the night she told him that sloe had something important to communicate respecting an extensive rob bery, which was committed a short time ago at the house of a gentleman named Rougemont, in the county of Surrey. It will be recollected, that about six weeks ago a statement appeased in the newspapers of a robbery et jewels and plate to a large amount, In the hones of Mr. Rougemoot. and that a foot. man who was suspected of having had a share in the plunder bad absconded. _ _ — The prisoner gave hint a statement of the manner In which the robbery was effected, and by whom, which, that the purposes of justice may not be frustrated, we forbear naming. The prisoner repeated fier statement to Sir R. Harts, and was remanded, the staters being ordered to go in pursuit of the other parties. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Christopher Dowland, a man about Bve•aud-twenty years of age, was yesterday placed at the bar, before the Presiding Magistrate. F. A. Roe, Eaq. charged with feloniously receiving and having in his possession two coats, the property of Mr. John Kean, of Port man.suest. It appeared from the statements of the complainant, that he bad frequently observed the prisoner (who is a married man) lurking about his premises, and in cline intimacy with the housemaid who is at present in his service. A abort time since, on looking over his wardrobe, be discovered that it was deficient is two frock -coats, and suspicion naturally attached itself to the maid eervant, bat tle prosecutor let the matter pass over. He, however, ongoing along Oaford•srreet on Sunday evening, saw the prisoner strutting up and down in nne of the lost frock-coats, and he had Mm there fore taken into custody. The prisoner, when called upon. carefully avoided any reference to the offence with which he was charged. The Magistrate granted a search warrant, to endeavour to and more property and ordered the prisoner to be remanded. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday George Hemalton was Seely examined, charged with stealing a silver watch and three gold seals, valued at AT. James Bull, waiter at Series Coffee-ham, stated that the prisoner had been a waiter at the house fur about three weeks, and on Saturday week he went away. After be was pee witness missed his watch and seals from the head of his bed. Thomas Muckletleld, 'Myrna' to a pawnbroker at Woolwkit. proved that on the 30th of November the prisoner pawned the watch and seals at their sbnp for 42. lbe prisoner was fully committed fur trial. UNION HALL. Neal. the pugilist, attended before the sitting Magistrate yester day. It will be recollected, that Ned had been bound in fegoo to keep the peace towards Dutch Sam and all gathers of his Majesty's subjects, at this Mice, some days ago ; it appeared that, on Satur day, Sam bad, in consequence, taunted Ned with cowardice, in the hearing of Hall, the after. The Magistrate, therefore, sent for Neal. to make an aNdsvit against Dutch Sam, for provoking him to break the peace. But Ned viewed the matter in another light, and though, be said, he should take a thump of the bead rather than forfeit his ball, be did not approve of the Magistrate's inter ference, and refused to make the allidavit as required. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday, Elia. Yuen, a laundress, was charged with illegally pawning a quantity of linen, wearing apparel, and other property, entrusted to her cater. Capt.

Yesterday Michael Mir, to whisk sealtrogsaspiegionsd t wan, was brought up frost Whitethapel watchband, charged by tbs Res. D. Mathias with bowling in the parish church-yard at the previous day, and interrupting him while performing one of the rites of the Church. The Reverend Gentleman stated. that on Sunday last, while be was reading the Funeral Service over a corpse, preparatory to its interment, the prisoner entered the church-yard in a state of inebriety, and poured forth such a torrent of abuse and abo minable language, as to cause a suspension of the service. Re monstrance with him was of no use, and, In order to be enabled to proceed with decorum, he was compelled to have him taken into cu►tody. The Reverend Gentlemen concluded hie complaint by intimating that if the prisoner was worth it, he would have insti tuted proceedings against him in the Ecclesiastical Courts, the result of which, in all probability, would be his being condemned, and sentenced to make atonement in a white sheet in that church the religion of which was to him (the prisoner) an abomination; as it was, however, he could nor pass over his offence unnoticed. The hint of the white sheet seemed quite to electrify the prisoner, while it excited some merriment among those present. Mr. Watarza, the sitting Magistrate, after commenting on the indecency of his conduct, committed the prisoner for one month to the House of Correction. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, James Clarke was amongst the night-charges from St. Luke's watch-house. Mr. Spring, of the Macdeslield Arms, in the City-road, stated, that on Sunday evening, two known thieves went into the tap-room of his house, and he went there to turn than out as soon as he was informed of it. A young man who was there interfered with him while he was turning the others out, and in the bustle that took place, his (Mr. Spring's) coat was torn open, and his silver spectacles were stolen from his waistcoat posket. When he discovered that his spectacles were gone. be thought to secure the thief who bad taken them, but instead of the person be meant to seize, it being r.ther dark, he laid hold of the young man cow at the bar, saying, " You ruse. 4 you have stolen my spectacles!" and caned in a watchman to take charge of him. When he afterwards saw the pri soner at the watch-house, however, be said " Why, God bless me, you are not the person that robbed me," and wished to have hint liberated ; but the night constable persisted in detaining him for examination before the Magistrate. Mutlow, the officer of the night, declared that Mr. Spring did not in his presence say what he now alleged, with respect to his wish for the young man's dis charge, until after the charge had been given and entered in the book. The young man was then discharged. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. s.—One of the consequences of the recent investigation at the Custom-house is, that an Exchequer process has been issued against the landing waiter, and an agent to the proprietors of the packet which brought over part of the inter cepted silks. The sum for which they are excbequered is about £5,000 each, being treble the duties on the first goods seized by the Collector of Customs. Had the penalty sued been treble the duties on all the seizures, it is believed the amount would have ex. seeded 4;30,000.

PROTESTANT COLON I ES.—The plan for colonizing the waste lands of Ireland, is assuming a business like form. A house has been taken for the use of the Society ; General and sub. Committees have been appointed, Ind the machinery is beginning to work with all the facility that the best wishes of its friends could desire. We trust that early in the new year all the prelimi nary arrangements will have been completed, and the system be in actual operation.—Drbfin Evening Mail. BIRTHS.
