FIELD SPORTS FOR DECEMBER. 710711 Tel ANKALS 07 STORM& Hinting will, during this month, reach what may be truly called its smith ; whilst, on the other hand, shooting, as far at least as relates to the mountains and moors, will decline :—the pursuit of grouse, black and red, ending on the 10th of December. In look ing to the legal restrictions regarding the pursuit of game, we find that the period for prohibiting it has„been generally regulated by the nature of the animals pursued ; more especially, with reference to the breeding season. Yet, we are inclined tothhik that, in re gard to grouse, if at least what we have just stated were taken for. a guide, the time has been anticipated, since these birds,_tbough they feel the access of desire sooner than most others of the leak, thered tribe,seldons approach each other before the commencement of .the year, and not even then, should the weather be severe. But the circumstance of grouse shooting ending at an early period is of little consequence to the sportsman, since those birds become wild, indeed, unapproachable (at least by fair and sportsman-like means), long before the 10th of December. Pam idges were never found more abundant than its the present season; and though they will continue to be fair game during this and th e following month, yetjew will be bagged, since, after Oc tober, they become wild, takewing on the most remote suspicion ot danger, and if the fowler obtains a few shots at them, it must be under particular circumstances, or the result of accidental contact. Pheasants always permit the approach of the shooter, and will, in all probability, suffer much during December, particularly from that wholesale system of basin shooting, against which we must in deed " cry aloud and spare not." The practice is out of all com parison more ignoble than shooting tame pigeons, or foraging for a rook pye. Koodeeeks.—From the appearance of these birds at an earlier period than usual, many sportsmen calculated upon abundance, as well as upon a severe winter. It is a generally received opinion that the one as a matter of coarse accompanies she other. How ever, as far ar our own observation will enable us to ferns an opinion, woodcocks have not appeared in more than an average number—if indeed they have equalled it. Snipes seldom fail; though we have not yet observed ally great abundance of them. The appearance of the ash-coloured or hooded crow lo this country is considered as the harbinger of winter. These birds pre sented themselves iii considerable numbers in the latter part of the month of October immediately after the westerly gales which oc culted at that period. The hooded crew breeds, and is numerous in the Highlands of Scotland ; and we have generally observed that their appearanq in England is more influenced by high winds and stormy weather, than by what we call the severity of the season, or thevarty setting in of frost. • Hares have been found in abundance—many have been shot, many killed by the long dogs; but, in the early part of the season. they seemed generally to escape from harriers, owing to the un favourable state of the atmosphere. Great numbirs of leverets have fallen victims to their incapacity both with harriers and grey hounds, to say nothing of those which have yielded to the tube of the shooter. The fineness of the summer continued the breeding season till a later period than nattal,which accounts for the circum stance just mentioned. Foz-lnading.—Mettaa and its vicinity will now be filled with sportsmen. Ile hunts throughout the kingdom will be in full ac tivity, should not frost interrupt the operations of the chase. The best runs we ever witnessed have occurred in the month of De cember, and days sometimes occur in this month as favourable to scent as possible. We hope not only to have the " ocular proof," but shortly to demonstrate to our Readers that we have " Heard the born winded, and felt the morn's breath, Have got well out of ewer, well in et the death." Of Angling this month we are not prepared, nor is it necessary a say much. The.observations of November will apply with even mere force to December, trolling for pike and jack being almost the only employ for the fisherman. PASS a brief while and he and we•wiU again bo labouring in our vocation. Friday last, Mr. James Stodhart, master of the niendsbury, one of the Hull and Leith Shipping Company's smacks, unfortunately fell overboard into the Old Harbour, Hull, and was drowned. _ _ ROBIESTSON, OF SraowAN.—This Chieftain, of the Southern Highlands, was present at the Battle of Pies tonpani, nd fought manfully, being then in his eighty thirJ year. Sir John Cope's carriage formed pan of the booty he obtained. The spoil was valuable, and among other articles, were found rolls of a brown co lour, supposed to be au efficacious salve for wounds, rime a soldier had them in his carriage. They were soli at 'a high price, under the name of " Johnny Copes Salve," until some French Officers recognised them to be chocolate—so little were then known the luxuries now abounding in the Highlands. The Ro bertson Chief (hove his prize in triumph homeward so far as the roads allowed, and then summoned his vas sals to bear it on their shoulders over the hills of Ran noch, in Perthshire.—Ackerasoun's .Repository. Information has been given at the different Police Offices in the metropolis by a Mr. Beck, of the singular loss of a child, only four years of age, on the 18th ult. from a place called Eltord Mill, near Litchfield. It is thought that a " tramper" has stolen the child. Such has been the catch of herrings on the Sussex coast, that one boat lately brought into Hastings 12,000 fi h ; and at Brighton they were last week retailed in the sweets at twenty for one shilling. There is now living at Itowde, in the full possession of his faculties, and enjoying what may be termed " excellent health for his age." a man named &wants WINTIRSON, who attained his 101st year in June last.—Deliors Gazette. At Darlaston, in Staffordshire, a hoaxer, aware of the simplicity of the inhabitants of that village, in formed them that an eclipse of the sun was to be seen on a certain day at twelve o'clock, at Birmingham. At the time mentioned, the villagers travelled twelve miles to view this said eclipse, and after looking at the sun until neatly blind, returned quite convinced they had seen it, and even declared that on their way home ey saw its conclusions.—Literary Chronicle. . . PALACE COURT, WERTMINSTIR, Dai ll.ll,; Cab[ Con.o.lrlftt P. CAM. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 41.195. for the board and lodging of the defendant's wife. Mr. FLANNAGAII stated the case. He said that the plaintiff was the brother'ofthe defendant's wife, and he understood that the defendant was about to allege, by way of set-off, his present wift's adultery with his own brother (Richard Carey), which adulterous and inces mous intercourse was assumed as being known to the plaintiff. James Rogers deposed that he knew all the parties. Mrs. Carey he had seen at Mr. West's house. Witness had talked with the defendant last January, when he left his wife, and understood that all their differences arose out of money matters the family. SarAh Read deposed, that she lodged at Mr. Richard Casey's when Thomas Carey left his wife and child there. Witness was present when Mrs. Carey removed from Glocester-street to Mr. West's, where she had lodged and boarded ever since. Witness thought that 41. l9s: was a poor payment to Mr. West. Ann Dyke deposed to Mr. Thomas Carey ill-treating his wife, and that on one occasion he knocked her down during her pregnancy. Cross-examined by Mr. Brass— Was sot the defendant a weakly man ? Witness—He could net be very weakly when be hist his wife. .She used to attend upon him as if he was King of England.— (Loud laughter.) Ann Sly—Knew the eefendant in Glocester-street. They did not live together as man and wife. Mr. Brace—How do you know that? Witness..--I never saw them in bed together. (Bursts of laughter.) Mr. Bawl;, for the defeme,addressed the Court, and the fol lowing witnesses were called. Juhn Kitchener deposed r lodging. at Mrs. Hopkin son's when. Mrs. Carey came to her husband in January, to see her child; her husband then informed her, that he bad some words with his brother Richard, who bad threatened his life, and he wished her to leave his bro ther, and return to Kim. They slept together for two nights, but on the Wednesday morning sad words arose, when Mrs. Carey said she never would live with her husband again. Mrs. Ann Williams deposed, that she had lodged at Mr. Richard Carey's in 1822; she had frequently seen Mrs. T. Carey go into Richard's bed-room, before he .was up, and she had also seen her sitting on Richard's knee, in a situation which she did not -wish to describe. On one occasion she discovered a crevice in the wains cot which separated the two rooms, and saw Mr. Rich ard Carey in bed 'with Mrs. T. Carey; Witness knew that Mrs. Carey had words with her husband, and also heard her say “ that she loved Richard's finger better than her husband's a hole body, and that she could fight up to her chin in blood for Richard." Several other witnesses were examined, who fully proved the adulterous intercourse. The Learned JUDOS charged the Jury at considerable length : be said, it was for the Jury to consider how far the husband was bound, by way of sustenance, to main tain the adulterous, not to say incestuous, wife. It was perfectly clear in the present case, that the husband had not turned the wife ont of doors, but that she had taken herself off ; and it was pretty clear that the has band knew nothing of her adultery, or would not be lieve it till it was forced upon him. After a few minutes the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. 'The trial lasted upwards of five hours, and excited considerable interest. A new Spectacle, w►itten by the author of The Pilot, is in preparation at the Adelphi Theatre. The wild gran deur and entirely new character of the scenery which is intended to be introduced into this drama, are likely to secure its success. _ _ PaaNAMSOCO, Sari. 27.—The crops of provisions are very promising. and the distress among the lower orders, arising from the previoni high prices, is fast abating ; the country, owing to the late continued drought, having been dependent almost wholly on foreign supplies. Prices have fallen to about a quarter of what they were not long since. Trade is also very much improved. ILLUMINATED Cututos Ctoex.—Saturday night a great concourse of people was attracted apposite St. Bride's - Church, in Fleet -street. to witness the first tempt of lighting the Church clock. The surface of, .the dial appears to be ground glass, on which the figure of the hours is painted ; a brilliant light front a gas burner is placed behind the dial plate, which chews the' time as distinctly as at noon-day. Much credit is duel to the individuals who have had the spirit to set so useful and ornamental an example to the City of Lan don. The experiment, though successful, was not re peated last night. This day the Sessions of the Peace for the County of Middlesex commenced at Clerkenwell, and on Thurs day next the Old Bailey Sessions commence, at which there will be upwards of SOO prisoners for trial. The calendar contains one case of murder, and about the usual proportion of other capital charges It is, how ever, a remarkable fact, that since the late execution, and even i few days before it took place, the number of committals for felonies from the police offices in the eastern parts of London, have been fewer than have been recollected for a considerable time past. It should be seen that the recent severe but just example which was made of the six wretched offenders had not altoge ther tailed of the effect which it is the in•ention of all legal punishments to produce—namely, deterring others from the commission of crime. BRADFORD, Dec. I.—l have the pleasure to announce a still further improvement in the wonted-stuff trade. It has been gradually improving during several of the past weeks; and yesterday more goods were sold than on any previous market-day during the last six weeks. The holders of combing-wool, in consequence, demand more money for that article—a demand which the price of goods does not warrant; for though a great deal have been sold, the prices are uniformly low. From Halifax, our accounts are equally favourable. Tile coat se cloth trade at Elland is unusually brisk ; and there is a fair demand in the London market for that spec:es of fancy goods called canine's, which are manufactured in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield. An aged couple, named Pain, are now living at the Chalk Pit, Odiham, whose united ages amount to 189 : the man 94, the woman 95. Their wedding took place on the Coronation-day of George the Third; they cele brated the Jubilee by a dance, and are now in posses. sion of all their faculties. One of the most extraordinary leaps ever heard of, was effected by a deer, before the Earl of D:rby'l, hounds. The animal had been turned out, and an old hound pricked upon him. It was at ‘Vickhara-court, Kent ; when a hedge, of some height, stoppid, for a moment, his progress. He, however, desperately went at it, cleated the obstruction, together with a 40 feet turnpike road and the hedge beyond, alighting safely ion the other side. ~, I ~~ ,~ ~~~ ~+ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Saturday, the Marquis of Bristol's footnian, accompanied by two farming men, brought in a square green leather trunk, a writing folio, and two pamphlets, in French, to the Office. The footman stated, that the countrymen brought the trunk that trOraing to his mimer's house in St. Jatnees.sqoare, stippo•ing it .to belong to one of the establishment, from the circumstance of two pamphlets being found near the trunk, enveloped in ; sheet of paper. on which was written, " A Lord Bridal, Pair d'Angieterre, sits iterel;terufret." The Margota was at Putney, and as none of thedomestics knew anything of the robbery, he bad brought it to _ the Office. One of the countrymen said, himself and his companion found the box in Cole harbour lane, Croydon, in a by.place, at the back , of Mr. Willett's garden; that a little distance from the trunk they found the writing folio and the two books, which they took to Itlr. Willett, who directed them to take them to Lord Bristol's. The trunk has been stolen from a carriage on its road to Lon don; has a brass plate engraved " James Salmond," a parent Bra. mahlock,which the thieves did not trouble themselves to pick ; they forced out the bottom, and obtained the contents by that method. In the folio is an account of posting from Meurice's to Rome and Naples. The pamphlets are entitled " Qu'est ce cue if. l'Abbe Afesnais." DIARY-LA-BONNE. Saturday David Walsh, a well-dressed man, was charged before Mr. RAvrtmson, with stealing from the house of Mrs. Cameron a desk, containing 2601. in money, on Saturday se'nnight. hits. Cameron on Monday last charged her two female servants with the robbery, but there not being a tittle of evideuce to support the accusatiesi, they were dismissed; and after a long examination on the first-mentioned day, Mr. itawttasson said the evidence against Walsh was insufficient to detain him. He was therefore dismissed, and the case is still involved in mystery. THAMES POLICE. Late on Friday evening two men came to this Office, having a hat-boo with them. Tbey said they wished to see the Magistrate, as they had a most important communication to make. On the worthy MAGIIITSATS asking their business, they said they wished to *hew bins the contents of the hat-box which they had with them ; and they untied an old blue handkerchief which was round the box, and opened it, and produced, among other things, two frilled shirts, which appeared as if they had been steeped in blood. They stated that their names were Thomas Jacane and Robert Pearce, and both reside at Brentford, and are in the em ployment of a Mr. Towend of Brentford, and their usual occupa •tion is navigating a sailing barge to and from Brentford to London ; that on Monday night last, while on board the barge from London to Brentford, and going up with the tide, between Southwark bridge and Blackfriars, they saw something floating, which, on a nearer approach, they perceived to be a hat-box, which they instantly took up; on examination they found that It contained two shirts, all covered with blood. Captain Manias. ordered the contents of the box to be carefully examined, and it was found to contain two ebirts stained an over with blood ; one of them greatly torn on one side, and the blood on it was quite coagulated ; they were frilled, and marked with the letters J. R. in blue silk thread, and were quite new ; an old towel, marked L. C. a pair of calico drawers, marked as the shirts, with the letters J. IL on the waistband; an old silk handkerchief, a coarse apron, with no particular marks on them ; a pair of white cotton stockings, marked J. IL very fine, such as Ladies generally wear; a blue cotton handkerchief, and also a collar, all stained with blood ; besides several small bits of paper, which, oa examination, some were found to be apothecary's directions to take medicine, upon which was written, " the pills to be taken as before," for Mr. Robertson ; they seemed not to have been the directions of a Lon don practitioner, as there was no name attached to them ; among them there was also a washerwoman's bill, with the name of Robert son, as also a printed card, on which there was" H. B. Plowright, wholesale and retail ironmonger, Lynn ;" on a small piece of paper, in but indifferent handwriting, there was, " Mr. Bell, No. 19, Gee:Court, Henrietta-street, Duke-street, Oxford-street ;" and also a kmall canvas bag, in which there was the case of a comb; the interior of the box exhibited a most disgusting and horrid appear ance, from the quantity of coagulated blood which was attached to the sides, and the bottom was one cake of blood. On the lid, out side, there was written, " Mr. Robertson, passenger ;" and there was another word endeavoured to be erased, which, upon' most minute examination, we could trace to be Lynn. The side was marked thus—" 5t Lymingtcs Deep," the usual letter mark. Captain Ricusau. requested Mr. Evans, the chief surveyor, to take the most effectual means to inlaid this mysterious transaction. Consequently, early on Saturday corning, Mr. Evans caused 1p immediate and most particulat inquiry to be made at the °Sas of every steam packet to and from London, but without effect. On Inquiry being made for a Mr. Bell, at 19, Gee -court, Henrietta-. street, Duke-street, Oxfoid-street, there was no such person; but at No. 16, there was a person of that name, but be denied having any knowledge of any individual of the name of Robertson. In the course of the morning of Saturday, William Arundel, the street-keeper, in the neighbourhood of Allhallows-lane, came to the Office, and begged to bring to the recollection of the Magistrates a circumstance which we have no doubt is in that of our Readers—which is, that about ten days ago a quantity of blood was perceived on Allhallows Stairs, leading to the River, whicb, on examination, was found to be human; and from thee appearance of the manner in which the Stairs were marked with it, there remained no doubt but the unfortunate being who had lost it must bave dime so in a violent struggle for the preser vation of existence. The blood only appeared upon the right hand side of the Stairs, leading to the River, and appeared as If the fatal struggle had taken place there; so much so, as to justify the presemptioa that it most have come from the right side of the I person approaching the River. On examination of the shirts, it was found that the bloody shirt was torn on the right side, but it was so saturated with human gore, that it was impossible to exa mine minutely whether titers were any marks of perforation upon it. Indeed, such was the quantity of blood in the box, that the smell arising from it was most offensive. Captain Itscnaxi.r. and Mr. BRODZIPMP gave the moat particular directions to Mr. Evans to make every exertion, and try, if pos sibie, to bring this dark and mysterious transaction to light. It is rather singular how such alragile article as a hat-box, with such a weight in it, conld float. L A MBETH-STREBT. Awes Marsh, a well-dressed Cyprian, was brought up on a charge of basing robbed a Mt. Donaldson Racist:llh of Bank Pest Bills and Notes, amounting to above £2OO. By his statement it appeared, that on la st Tuesday week, about four o'clock in the morning, he was returning homewards when he met the prisoner. She ac costed him, and requested a ride to her lodgings in Globe-lane.— He consented, and dismounted; and having placed her on horse- back, with the assistance of two other Gentlemen, accompanied her home. When he arrived there be went in doors, ;ind had remained there but a short time when she flourished a poker, and stole from Dank-notes--one for 1501. amain foe 401. and his a third for SIX: Mr. Wrarr—Were the watchmen the pennons who assisted you in this work of gallantry ? I should not be surprised if they were. Mr. 11—They were not; they were Gentlemen. Mr. Wrarr—Gentlemen ! What could Gentlemen be doing at w unseasonable an hour ? Pray, where do you li►e, Sir? at On good as to state your name, residence, and prOfession. Mr. IL—I have made my charge; you may take it if you like. I have gives my name; I am of no profession ; and, as to my residence, you shall have no farther intormation. Mr. Weary—Why did you carry such a quantity of Money wids you at so early an hour ? Was it to purchase cattle, or attend the early markets? Mr. IL—By no means. Mr. Wray!: We must have more information on this subject than you appear willing to give, before we can render you any ser vice: and I cannot but observe that your conduct here hat beets most indecorous. Haw did this money come into your possession, or can you chew that you had it at all about you ? Mr. IL—lf I was to mention what I am, my respectability would be quite apparent. I shall say no more on the subject—l have made my charge. Mr. WYATT t Then, Sir, you have shewn such a reluctance to give any account of yourself, or of the source from whence this money has been derived, that I think it becomes a duty I owe to myself and the public, to have you detained until some inquiry is 'nude. If you are a respectable character, the indelicate parade you have made with the prisoner,or the evasive or contradictory answers you have here given, do you no credit. I ask you now, for the last time, to say who and what you are, and clear up the extreme mys tery in which you have involved this business ? On Saturday the prisoner was brought up for her Anal examina tion ; bat the prosecutor not making his appearance, she Wails of course, discharged. She denied the charge. Mr. Weary expressed his opinion of her being guiltless of the crime; and after advising her to keep more temperate hours, and a restraint on her equestrian dispositions, sent her about her business.

STAG HUNT. Friday his Majesty's Stag Hounds met at Langley Broom, whets a fine deer was turned out in the presence of the moat numtrous field of sportsmen that we ever remember to have se. n assembled on an ordinary occasion. Lard Maryborough was present. The deer took across the country to the Brocas, Eton, and swam to the other side, then ran to the Cavalry Barracks, and to Forts' The huntsmen led the hounds over Windsor Bridge, down roma& street, to the spot where the stag landed, and after a severe no, they killed the deer at Forest Hill. THE BRIGHTON HARRIRRS. Our Hurlers continue to produce good sport, throwing of at Patcham on Mondays; on the Race Down on Wednesdays; and on Fridays at the Devil's Dyke. The first hare subdued of the season, as usual, was sent off as a present to the King, and which his Majesty, with the usual condescension, graciously accepted. The annual Royal Subscription to this Hunt of SOL waa transmitted to, and received ►y, its Treasurer two days ago. During the recent tempestuous weather the sea has made many encroachments on the Holderness coast. A few days ago the bones of an aged female were mashed down the cliff at Kilnsea. They were collected, and have been re-interred in Easington Church-yard. If the winter prove stormy, it is probable that tl.e whole of Kilnsea Church will be precipitated down the ca. At present it cannot be approached without danger. Saturday, the dwelling-boa's of Mr. Lane, a Clergy. man at Fulham, was entered, about nine o'clock in the morning, by some thieves, who contrived, unobserved. to carry off a quantity of plate, which was going to be cleaned. Mr. Lane's house was robbed last summer of plate value 501. and upwards, in a similar manner. Commies IX. of France built a forge near his Palace at Fontainebleau, 44 where," says BRANTOMS, " I have teen him hammer out guns, horseshoes, and other things in iron, as well as the strongest and most ezpest smith."
