The Wild M.tn of the Woods, who was sometime since brought from Ireland as a deserter, and has since been kept in the hospital of the Isle of Wight depot, as a maniac, was on Monday lost released by an Or der from the War-Office, there being no proof of his ever having belonged to the army. —The poor fellow refused to the last, to have any clothing put on him, assigning as a re:ison, that it would make him per spire too much, and that if be now wore clothes, he should not be able to do without them when he got back to his former habits of living in the woods, where he had not the means of procuring any. He was, however, seat oil in a strait waistcoat. Your's, Ste. A CONSTANT READLit OF TILE STAR.

CANTERBURT, NOTSMEZR 27. Dncroa OLLA PM—A circumstance of a very strange nature occurred in this neighbourhood, wii!i the harriers, the day before yesterday, and as it may be acceptable to the sporting part of your Readers, I have deemed it worthy sending it >mi.. The hair ers had been drawing three covers without success, when an Apothecary, in taking a leap, broke a bottle cf anniseed mixture, and his horse taking fright at the same time, the hounds folluwed the scent with such avidity, that the field felt for the safety of the rider.; fortunately, a few Gentlemen, accompanied by the huntsman, succeeded in heading the hounds, and res. cuing the Gentleman from his perilous thuation. Saturday, the I7th instant, as a boat belonging to the Alpl:ea sloop of war, on the Dungeness station, was coming on shore with eight persons, it upset, iu sight of several boatmen on the beach, who immedi ately launched Mr. Mortley's revenue boat, pushed off, and preserved five of the crew, but the threo others were mini tunately drowned : one of whom was the surgeon, the two others seams belonging. to the sloop. Two of the bodies were pi( ked up near Eungeness, and buried at Romney on Friday last.— The surgeon's body was found nn the shore near Brockman's barn, from whence it was conveyed to Dymchurch for interment. Joseph Newsom who was comrnittod to Westgate gaol for farther examination on a charge of forgere, AS we have before stated, was on Friday last fully committed fi-r trial, charged with has ing feloniou:r uttered, and published as true, a certain false, forged, or counterfeit paper, partly written and partly primed, purporting to be an order for payment of money drawn by John Brown, with intent to defraud Messrs. Payler and Co. of the sum of ten guineas. A poor boy of the name of Mutton about eleven years old, the son of a labourer in the employ of Wrr.. Cantic, Esq. 'of St. Stephen's, near this City, was drowned in the river Stour, about six yesterday morning, near Mr. Slaughter's tan-yard, in North. lane, undez the following unfortunate circumstances: He had been sent by the servant of Mr. Slaughter to light a candle in a part of the tan-yard on the op posite side of the Stour, and in crossing the bridge which c^nnects the premises, on his ret urn with the candle, it is conjectured from his anxiety to preserve it alight he made a false step and fell into the river. The noise occasioned by his fall in the water alarmed the workmen, who, with poles, &c. made every pos sible search to the body, unluckily, however, it was nearly seven &clot& before it was found.—Medical aid was immediately procured, but it was of no avail, the vital power beir,g wholly extinct. We have seen a letter from Monmeuth which con tradicts the report copied from a Morning paper into most of the daily journals of a ilf,rni.ra having been caught by the fishermen of that r.!ace. About halfpaq three o'clock in the afternoon of Tbers.lay, the village of Seddlescamb was alarmed by the appearance of a phencnaznon rarely observ e d on land, but wal known at sea by the denorifination 'of a water spout. A cloud was “bserved to ascend with rapid whirls to a considerable height, and these burst, with a tremendous hut pectdiarly sounding crash, totally dissimtlar from the usual noise of thun der. The c:cplosien was fcdlowed by the fall of se. venal pieces of earth, a heavy shower of hail, and .ill the awful scenery of a storm.
