AN ATTEMPTED HOAX, A most scandalous hoax has been attempted by some person, who ought to have known better, by writing a most extensive number of letters to va rious tradesmen, to send articles to the lion. Mrs. Campbell, of Little Holland House, this day, be tween the hours of 12 and two. A morning paper's hint prevented tnany persons sending., although most I ad prepared their orders, and sumo put to most se rnts inconvenience to get them together. A person going that way, found the road to the house so throng ed with persons bringing china, books, grocery, &c. &c. that a pole was put across the ground, and two men actually stationed with lire-arias, to pre vent intrusion. Even the undertaker did not fail to attend; in short, the neighl,ourhood has not been so thronged since the lust llrentforkl Election. It is hoped the perpetrator, nevertheless, will be found out and made au example of.

The Patron of the Society, hies Royal Highness the Mice of Kent, was nominated to ii:ae the Chair at twelve o'clock, by which time nearly 1,000 ladies and gentlemen, of great respectability, had assembled. About one o'clock Mr. Sheriff Bell, accompanied by a .great many Reverend Gentlemen, entered, amidst loud and universal plaudits.

He land applied to his !loyal Brother, the Duke of Sussex, to do the duties of the Chair. Unfortunately, however, lie was obliged to :aerompany his Royal Mother to Brighton. If, however (stated his letter) the :Sleeting could be postpoued until Saturday, well or ill, he would take the Chair. • • The Doctor then milled Mr. Sheriff BELL to the Chair, who immediately took it, but apologised for the short notice' he had received.

The operations were performed by Messrs. ADYE, with their accustomed humanity aid skill, so that hap pily the poor man is now in a fair way of recovery. Two men from the County of Tipperary, were committed to prison by the Mayor of Watcrford, on Thursday, under circumstances of suspicion of the murder of Mr. BAKER. Au atrocious morder has, we regret to hear, been committed at Southill, 14 one of Mr. WHIT BREAD'S gamekeepers. A desperate gang of poachers, seven or eight io number, being disco vered on Saturday niglit in the neighbourhood of the h►ke, in front of the house, CHARLts DINES, the principal keeper, accompanied by two assistants, repaired to the spot. One of the assistants was knocked down and severely hurt ; DINEA was shot in the side, and languished until six o'clock on Sun day evening, when he expired in great agony. After receiving the tire of the ruffians, he lead the presence of mind to cock both his barrels, and tire them off, but apparently without effect. Another person having been three weeks ago wounded by • gong, of poachers in the same neighbourhood, and suspicious character having in Collbe quelice absconded, suspicion has fallen main him; but Otis as, before bus death, recollected :mother Iverson having threatened him that " lie should not ! vat hie Cluirinuts d r."

Our Reporter attended at Mr. Sadler's yard hilt night, but nuiong the hustle of the cattle coming in, was unable to obtain any I,s,rticular information, as to the names of the exhibitors, and description of stock arrived ; except, generally, that ■u unusu ally full mid good chew was expected; 41 persons having sent in certificates, many or them,. for <2, 3, 4, and even more. different daises of the Duke of Bedford's and the Club's premiums.
