The Loin CHANCELI.OII, Accortfing to long-established eus tout, attended this dny at Westminster to melt the Judge. on the t:rst dor of term. (tit his return the usual Levee or the Lord haneellor took glare in his private room, which the King's Coun sel attended in full dress.

IN Till: NATTER Or 11111 TR. The Loan CTIANCELLoR, our readers may ternern'bor. a few Jays ago expreesed a doubt a• to the positive power of the Vice-Chancellor to strike the name of a aulteitor off the list of so licitors. Mr. HART brought his awdrhip's attention to the case of the' inch; ideal solicitor in whose regard the Vice•Chanullor exercised this power. The LORI) CRANCE I.LOR said It was a mut important case, lost one that he felt great difficulty in. An application hid been wade to the Court of King's likneh to strike this gentleman off the Moll of that Court, and upon hearing it an order was made sects:l - His Lordship always understood that it was quite a matter tat avulse, when an attorney was struck off the Roll of one of the Courts of Westminster, that he should immediately be struck off in the other. That having been done in this instance, a petition aas presented to the Vice-Chancelhw 'to have him struck off the Htit of this C4iurt, and his Honour did strike him off; but, on a reconsideration of the case, he was of opinion that he had no au thority to make such an order ; the consequence was, that Mr. Smith presented a petition praying his l o crdship to confirm the Vice-Chancellor's order, discharging his former ordc... that he might immediately go to the King's Bench to tell that Court he had Iseersio-admittW by this Court. Now in that Mr. Susith was, in a mistake, for the cane now stood as it war when it first camel before the other branch of this Court. On the whole, his Lordship, thcatght the best thing that Mr. Smith could 4o would be, to try to get the Court of King's Bench to teconsiler their order ; the unkr war of a nature no serious, that his Lordship thought it the King's Bench had the least idea that any thing bad been misunder stood. they would not hesitate to reconsider it. Mr. }ure made a few i.bservations on the port of Mr. Smith, and concluded by saying he would endeavour terlind a precedent to enable this Court to interfere in ewe it could see that Mr. Smith ought to be re-admitted, and to make an order to that eta. . PRACTICE IN DEMURRERS. The Loin Cuswcet.i.ow wished to intimate, he had found there were demurrers standing in this Court tor I, 2,3, 4, and le scars, in which all matters in dispute were long ago entirely settled, Still they were standing, to the obloquy of this Court, which he thought exceedingl i f unjust. •_ SI GRP:fa/RV P. TURNER. Mr. Hon vr asked permission, on the part of the Solicitor of Sir O. P. 'Turner, to present • petition to canvass the finding of the jury in the commissum of lunacy appointed to ascertain wile the. Moo. Bart. was a lunatic or nut. The Loan CHANCELLOR thcught that the Solicitor had ac quiesced in the finding of the jury. Mr. Houck suhmitte I, that Sir G. I'. Tomer dismissed that so/leiter and appointed another, on whose instruction he made the present motion !'ho LORD CIIANCVLLOR said he had no power to prevent the yrcet nation of a petition to the Cou:t. lie would say, however, .hat the finding of the jury appeared to him very satisfactory. ~................ .. ......_.._ The SOLICITOR GENt:RAL valet! his Lordship's attention to tkus Pins, which stood for judgment. It had been argued at lengtl a11...a11y, and a was very important that an early derision of his fow l Losibilti should bc given. as to the manner in which it should be ilia of. ' he boan Caitancint.oa was of opinion that an issue should be directed, but had nut niade up his mind as to the form which such issue should assaine. Tbs Sealtaron Claws:am. suggested a form which did not corrosion& with that on which the opposite side was desirous that the issentairld be directed.

The Learned Gentleman complained, that notice had not been given to the petitioner in or der to enable him to resist such order. Mr. PNTYS On the part of Mr. Bally, opposed the petition. To thew that sulicient notice had been given, he read passages, ad mitting, by the opposite side, that due notice had been given of the proceedings intended to be adopted by Alr. Bally. Mr. Beily was endowed 40 ISIAL• application on account of several notion which had bum sent to him for payment, as Mrs. Payyooee had as signed bit pmedf the divisible quaddithe to served elsiaraee ler debt.

WI afterwards ascertained that he was living In a state of opeccinermtinence. The Bishop, therefore. thought it his duty to institute proceedings against hint in the Ecclesiastical Court, the, runts of which was his suspention from his living for the term of! Nirec•yetirs. The alleged libel declared that the prosecution was commented by the bishop of Exeter at the instigation of a strum pet with wbeen helves seen publicly walking stet-in-ern ; that he hail from private feelings iiemectited the clergyman, who was a bachelor ; hut bad suffered another in hi. diocese, a married man, to remain in open adultery with a married woman.

COURT OF CO3I)II3I I rXAS, lirsirramerrza, Fativar, JAm. 23. This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Judges, as usual, breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor. At One o'clock die Jodges of We Court (with the ex • af Mr. Justice sigbrdwm, who is still at Malta for the benegt of hie bedlth) took their seats on the Bondi. The new Chief Justice, hit Robert Gifford, presided for the first time dace his appoint. nht.ut. HOLMES V. lIRMICOTT. After the routine badness had bean gone through, -Mn Sergeant I . AT/(111A11 moved for a rule to thew cause& why the defends/et is this action should not be discharged oat of the custody of the Warden of the Fleet prison. The defendant was a prisoner on novae process, and had petitioned the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Vain fur his discharge. On the hearing of doe petition, the prisoner was remanded by that Court for eighteen months at the suit tibia detaining creditor, within the wells of the Fleet Prison. Since the sentence of the Insolvent Court on the de. reiolant, the plaintiff had died. and the Learned Sergeant now moved that the detetnlant should he discharged; the suit. as he be lieved, having altered in consequence of the death of the plaintiff. This was certainly a aew ease; bat the Court were aware that the death of a plaintiff before judgment abated the suit, and that the Learned Sergeant submitted was enslaves to the present case. Ile conceived that nu administrator antennae could, under these circunummees, take any step before judgment. Ills only remedy was by /Jeri Arras. The ender of the Insolvent Court was, that the defendant should be coutinal for eighteen months within the walls 00 the Fleet Prison, at the suit of a detaining creditor. But in this ease there was no detaining creditor, the plaintiff haring died. There was an order of this Court, which stated that no defendant should he Jiselfergell out of custody, although even the plaintiff should abstain from proceeding to judgment, without a special under ol the Court for that purpose. That order evidently recognised a pi timid . ; but in this case therewea no plaintiff; therefore he trusted the Court would grant the conditional rule. Rule geanktl. OLD narr,Er sR.cVIONS, FRIDAY, JAN. 23. Janet was indicted for stealing a hag, value 21., the pro rerty of Craig and others. There were several other counts in the indictment. Sir. Auni.istrs.s stated the Mkt for the prosecution, and Mr. A XlinEWa appeared for the prisoner. Win. Ray deposed, that he was guard of the Exeter Auxiliary Malt, which goes from the .Ikll and Crown, Holborn. The coach stars on alternate evenings witness saw the prisoner 00 the sth of January standing in the .nn-yard, whilst he was loading the roach, and two other men were standing with him. They stood about twenty minutes ; the prisoner got on the coach, and the wit ness asked him where he was going? he replied to Hounslow; another young man took his seat on the coach-box ; witness put a leather bag in the boot, containing several small parcels for deli. very on the road ; the near boot was about halt' full, the depth of which was about two feet and a half. On arriving at the Glouces ter Coffee-house, witness put in other parcels upon this bag, and nearly tilled the boot; the young man on the box then got down, and the witness went into the office for his way-bid, the prisoner at the time getting on the box ; as the witness came out of the office he discovered a man standing on the off.side of the coach endes vourins; to pull out the bag in question ; the prisoner assisted him, he haring more pettier to draw out the bag, from being above it. The witness went up to him and pushed him away, and put the bag in :.gain, which was nearly out of the boot ; the man ran away, and tile prisoner got off the box. Witness accosted the prisoner, sod told him that he was in league with the man who had run away ; the prisoner said he was a gentleman, and must go beck into the city for a parcel. in his cross-examination, witness stated that he was responsible to the proprietors for the parcels entrusted to his care, and these small parcels were particblarly in his charge. Francis Vickers, a coachman of the Exeter mail, stated, that, on the Ist of January prisoner took a place by hit coach, ani rode to the Gloucester Coffee-house, when he got dowb, saying that he had forgotten a small parcel, and must go back. Witness saw the pri loliCT again on the sth, at the Bell and Crown, and saw him again that evening in Piccadilly, and heard the last witness ask him if he knew the man whom he assisted In taking out the bag. He was positive that the prisoner said he did know him. Richard Turk, the coachman of the Bath mail, saw the prisoner on the sth January, endeavouring to draw a bag out of the Auxi liary Exeter mail, as described by the first witness. John Cranston, the coachman of the Walton coach, saw the Exeter mail in Piccadilly on the sth, aid noticed a man oa the spoke of the wheel, endeavouring to get a leather bag out, and the prisoner on the box assisting him. The mouth of the bag was out of the box. ft must have Leo removed. William Kent, the clerk at the coach-office, described the firm ! the proprietors. The prisoner made no defence. The Cousins SEIttIEAXT, after reading 1141•111111 cases which I , related to the asportation of property, put it to the Jury to say whether the prisoner was there with intent to steal? The Jury expressed an opinion that he was there for the purpose of stealing. The CO)19100 SgiOZANS asked the Jury if be should sum up to them ? The Foreman void there was no necessity for that; ar.d the Jury returned a verdict of Giiiliy ; and added, that they found that the hag had been removed front its place by the prisoner with intent to steal it, and that be was disturbed in the act of stealing. The COMMON SCOIGKANT—Let judgment be respited until next Sessions. The exportation in this case comes so near the boun dary line, as must be the case sometimes in Courts of Justice, act ing on general principles, that it will be well to reserve it fur the oinnion of the Judges.

Mr. Ramsey, who keeps a wine-vaults in Illgh-otreet, Shad. well, was brought rap on a warrant, charged with assaulting Wilson, mate of a West-country trader. The plaintiff's statement was, that he wen maim pesembly along the street on Sunday evening lest, when the indent vio lently assaulted hint, by striking hint several time With Ws 61114, " without the least provocation on his part." The Magistrates observed, if his story _wag comet, the &Welt had grossly violated the laws, and called ups the latter for en ex planation. M r . Ramey stated, that be bad .1111 M 0 11 .ffilir e ri I complainant was doing miry eat to trie llft ntei who was only fifteen, and that ea the Sudsy swain he p sent her I to church, under the mention et the tertiot. him Impa lasided woman, as he and ]its. Ramsey wee Wiwi to semis it Moe to attend to the house; but after wsnis a Vnit a lhat the caw plainant would be lying in wait for his liallewed bet, at some distance, unperceived; and before gist to the church he saw him get in between her and the servant, and link her by the arm ; she made some little resistance at this, but not as moth es he would wish or expected. Upon this he went up, and being unable to suppreegss his feelings, he chastised him, not, in his own opinion, undeservedly, however he might have violated the laws. Mr. MATHIAS, th e rector of Whitechat told Mr. Ramsey he should never allow females an young as • daughter to go to evening service, unless with a proper saf g as the char at this time was made places of . more than of divine worship; and unless he was actually positive that the young man's intentions towards the girl were dithoneurable, he, in his opinion, had acted rather rashly; his beat mode would have been to dia. countenance bis visits, and caution him against having any thing to do with his data. Mr. Rummy said he had repeatedly done as; and here handed to the Magistrates a piece of paper which the complainant had left at the bar for his child, bearing his name tend address, evidently for the purpose of inducing her to hold a tworespandonee with him and he was credibly informed that the tompludonnt had umethese words :—" lit be d—d if I don't has, haselaagltsw whether I get his money or not." The complainant, by way of answer to Mr. Rummy, made se veral asseverations that his intentions roma& Miss Romney were no other than honourable, and that he had not eitchampod a down words with her when he left town for Shields; and shortly Idler his arrival there he had a letter from her. . . The 3lagi■tretes Toldrhelove:ea swain he might m well have kept the Aiir of the letter within his own breast, and tkat if he had had any great respect for the young woman he would have rather chose to have the DIMS rest on his own shoulders than make her appear a particeps criminal in the eyes of her father. Their Worships, under all the circumstances, discharged the warrant ; at the same time observing, that the plaintiff might in dict the defendant at the sessions if he thought proper.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-4133 the 16th Inst. Thomas Mills, being , employed in procuriag ice foe the purpose of filling the Ice-house at Sundbaurnyeastle, and having become very wet, was asked by two young men, who also had been at work with him, and who sleep in the garden-house, to partake of their bed, they being aware of his unfit state to proceed elsewhere through the night air. Ile went with them to the garden-house, and some time slier the two youn men retired to rest, and at the same time asked him to come to be d; hut instead of doing so he drew nearer the fire. The young men observed this latter circumstance, but they shortly afterwards fell asleep; the fire. they were aware, was previously very small. About five o'clock in the mcening is was discovered that the young man had fallen on the fire, and had met his death by suffixation and burning! His smock-frock was drawn over his bead t and from this. Mid other circumstances, it is conjectured that on going near the fire, and from his having been previously told, the vital powers wete unusually affected—that a state of torpor or drowsiness approximated—dun, when under the Influence ni the latter sensation be had still so much energy of mind as sug gested to hmi the necessity of retiring to bed—that in endeavour. ing to undress himself for that purpose, he was drawirg off his smnek.frock, which he had partly effected, when he fell in a help , less state on the fires--and that, no assistance being present, he became a victim to the elements.-..

A DUTIFUL Sox.—A pox man, named Ware, at If illiarrance, near Taunton, was on Wednesday last, during his absence at daily labour, robbed of the whole of the money he had put by to pay his rent.

Bloomsbury, and after taking a seat in an obscure part of the shop, she requested Mr. Forman to let her have a sight of the paper, which being ghee to her, die sat foe a shoo period, and then called far a mug of milk, which was immediately brought 'to her. !less manners and appearance being of a superior kind, struck Mr. Foreman forcibly, and he considered it rather strange that he should have such a visitor (the shop being generally resort ed to by the lower order of society in that neighbourhood), and he was induced to pay particular attention towards her ; and after she had been there about five minutes, be observed her to take some thing from her pocket, which she poured into the milk, and drank it of and then proceeded over to Mr. Foreman, of whom she re quested another mug of milk ; but prior to his filling it, he looked into the mug, and perceived a white sediment at the bottom, but not suspecting the unfortunate creature of having administered any thing improper, he again furnishel her with the milk, which she instantly consumed, after having shook the mug, to mix the remains of the poisonous drug, which she had previously put into it. After drinking it, she proceeded to bee former seat, *here she remained a short time, appatently in the greatest anxiety. She gradually became pale, and a cold perspiration dropped from her countenance, and she fell back In strong convulsions, and an exces sive quantity of froth came from her mouth. Mr. Foreman im mediately proceeded to her assistance, with some other individuals in the shop, and, from 01 the circumstances, they felt no doubt but she had attempted to poison herself, and a surgeon wee sent for, who arrived in a short period, and had her conveyed to St. Oiles's workhouse, where Mr. Burgos, the parish surgeon, with the greatest speed, administered strong antidotes, as she was la b*unng under the symptom:id baying taken arsenic ; and a quan. tity of corrosive matter was brought from the stomach. She was partly recovered from iier stupor, and opened her eyes, when she gased wildly around her, and commenced crying ; but could not speak. She was put into bed, and every necessary assistance af. forded her, and she has ever since been in a state of stupor, and un able to give any account of herself, but occasionally would shed tears. Mr. Foreman, on returning t the shop, beheld a letter ly ing on the seat, directed to an individual of the name of James Hudson. He immediately carried it to the workhouse, where, on its being opened, it began by addressing the person, "Dear James," it contained the duplicate of a ring and a lock of her hair. The letter proceeded to state liar since he had last seen her, her mind had been in a state solely arising from his having forsakes her. She had some past endeavoured to see him, but finding it Inwood to do ols, she determined on this desperate remedy of ;main an end to those miseries to which she had been brought by herd pieced Nang.. This was the last from,letter he would receive from and she would be dead before he received it ;and she trusted that he would receive the inclosed ring —the first pledge of his affection towards her, and that he would keep Block of her hair, which accompanied it, as a keepsake. The letter concluded by wishing him well, and was signed " Mary 111`Carthy." We yesterday visited the workhouse, and saw the unfortunate young woman, who then was in a meet dangerous condition In bed, and was perfectly senseless and considerably altered in her appear ranee. Every inquiry was made in consequence of the above letter, and the mother, who was traced, attended her daughter yesterday at the workhouse, and was considerably affected at beholding the afflicting situation of her child. She is a respectable old lady ,• and it appears that some time since her daughter funne d an affection for a young man whose return of love appeared to be equal to that of her own ; and, from what could be ascertained, the unfortunate young woman was led to believe that 'matrimonial alliance would be the ultimate consequence; and this was strength. ened by the gift of A wedding-ring„ &c. ; but in this prospect she was disappointed, and the pawn who had corresponded with her forsook her, which preyed very mulch on her mind, and she be. came melancholy and dejected : she (the mother) had not seen her for some time past. She sat by her daughter during the whole of the day ; but the unhappy young woman was so materially af fected by the deleterious draught which she had taken, that she was unable to recognize her palest ; and, while she lay on her bed, her eyes were continually fixed on one spot, as if involved in com plete stupor. Mr. Burgess and the parties connected with the establishment are rendering every humans assistance, in order to restate the poor ammo CORONER'S INQUEST.

The body um effeminate in its appearance, and the bones were re markably small.

SUGAR.—The BOW imam was pardadarly heavy_ early in this week, and though all greaShasialess was yesterday erected, yet the holders evince mote firma@ than for sane days preceding, and will submit to no redaction - to facilitate sales; the prices are no_ ! minally the lame as on this day week the few poach fenced off have sold at prices a shade under the quoted currency. The very depressed prices of refined goods appear to have attracted some at tendon ; the exporters have been making inquiries; but at present no purchases to any extent are repaired ; the prices remain without variation. Molasses are 275. fid. - lilt Foreign Sugars, no purchases whatever are reported. COFFEE—There have been no public sales of Coffee this week until yesterday ; the purchases by private contract are too limited to fix a market currency. The public sale yesterday maimed of 45 casks Jamaica, and 800 bags and casks St. Domiogo ; the for mer sold freely, and at rather higher prices ; fine ordinary 83s. to 84s. ; middling 90a. • middling ordinary St. Domingo Ills. and 68s. • first class dam aged 113 s. a 861. ;by private contract good or dinal; St. Domingo has been sold at 725. COTTON.—Our Cotton market, in the face of the approaching India sale, has become somewhat languid, though we can notice no alteration in price; the safes are too inconsiderable to enume rate. The Company's Bengali are taxed at hid. The letters from Liverpool yesterday state that market heavy : about 1,200 bags of Cotton were sold on Wednesday, at prices rather lower; the holders of Brazil descriptions had withdrawn their Cottons from sale, on account of the political intelligence lately received. INDIGO.—The East India Company's sale of Indigo which commenced on Tuesday last, terminated on Thursd a y. Th'e roan- Sty declared was 3,721 chests, from which several parcels were withdrawn previous to the commencement, leaving only 2,899 chests, viz. 1,848 Bengal, 1,200 Oude , and 51 Madras. The sale commenced and continual throughout with great animation, and at a considerable advance, compared with the sale in October last, viz. from is. t 0,:.. lid. per pound on tile good and fine qualities suitable for exportation, dd. to Is. on the middling and ordinary qualities suitable for home consumption, and 3d. to 6d. on the good and middling Oude. About 450 chests of Bengal, and 850 chests of Oude, have been bought in by the proprietors, who mani fested great firmness, sod seemed determined not to sell but at good prices. THE ARMY. The recruits which were enlisted in Ireland, for the 9Sth regiment of infantry, and which embarked on the 12th instant at Waterford, have disembarked at Bristol, and will arrive in divisions this day, the 26th and 27th instant, at Winchester, _where the head-quarters of that corps is at present stationed. The William Harris, Fanny, Indian Trader, and Prince of Orange transports, which railed from Cork, having on board the 23d (royal Welsh fusilcers), will, on their arrival at Gibraltar, bring home the 75tli regiment, and will subsequently convey the 77th (East Middlesex) regiment of foot from Cork to Jamaica. The detachment of the 7th (or the Prince Royal's) re giment of dragoon guards, which arrived at Liverpool on the 19th inst., is ordered to embark forthwith for Ireland. NEW IMPROVEMENTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Ste.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer's conduct, in directing to be made null and void all surcharges and extra assessments made by a set of needy harpies, under the name of assessors, but who are in truth interested informers, on inhabited houses, leads me to hope the Hight llon. Gentleman will take into his consideration another article not unworthy his notice, and which would be of great public utility, both as a corrector of abuses, and also a sure and stated standard for the measurement of all distances throughout the 'nited Kingdom. Let, for example, the standard be from a stone placed at the Royal Exchange, to be called the Standard ; and from this let the mile-stones throughout the United Kingdom be engraved, elm the number from next towns onwards, for the government of country residents and travellers ; and not the uncertain standards, as now given, some of which are obsolete. For example, on the northern road it is stated "miles from Hicks's Hall:" now but few are alive who can point out where Hicks's Hall stood. lin the Western road theadmeasurement takes place from Hyde Park-corner; on the Eastern from Whitechapel Church ; and on the Southern side from London Bridge. Thus Hicks's Hall has been pulled down, Hyde Park-comer turnpike removed, and London Bridge shortly follow_ lag their fate. Surely the trifling expences of taking up and re-en raving the different milestones. by the different parishes, cannot be a moment's consideration, compared to the public utility and the great national advantage to travellers and others. FESTIVITIES AT NORMANET HALL. We noticed in our Paper, a few weeks since, the birth of a son and heir to Sir Robert Sheffield, Bart. of Normanby Han, in this county. Assurance being afforded of the safety and convalescent) state of Lady Sheffield, the rejoicings, which had been deferred on ' this account, took place on Friday, the lUth inst., and the interest of the day was considerably heightened by t he administration of the rigida of baptism to the infant. Sir Robert Sheffield's numerous tenantry were invited to dine on the occasion. In the meantime every preparation was made to give Mat to the celebration of the joyous event, and the best energies of all the inmates of the hospi table mansion were employed in devising means to ensure the as comfort, and happiness of the welcome guest. One hu• ndred and ninety-five of Sir Robert's tenants sat down to a most excellent sad well-arranged dinner, which was served in four courses; and in addition to the usual substantial English fare, comprised every delicacy , procurable at such a season from the animal and vegetable kingdoms. We need hardly say that the banquet was greatly enjoyed. The happy countenances of the whole party showed actual contentment, and willing minds to do the best they could to benefit the body. Sparkling Sir John Barleycorn contributed to their happiness, and gave a test to the liberal treat, which must be /241 to be fully understood. After the cloth had been drawn, a profusion of choice wines graced the table. Mr. Rhodes, of Butterwiek, presided, and gave • The King," with four times four—" Sir Robert Sheffield ; health and happiness to him ;" • treble round of three time three—" Lady Sheffield "—" The young Christian ; may he inherit and imitate the virtues of his father, and long be a blessing to him and his lady." At this period, tlteattention of the happy party wee arrested by the entrance of the worthy and honourable baronet into the hall, followed by Capt. Cox and Mr. Newbolt. His reception was characterised by the unbounded gratulation of the whole tenantry, which continued fcr some time. The three preceding toasts being embodied and reiterated by the President, Sir Robert Sheffield rose and delivered an animated reply, in the course of which he used the following words : " It is with pleasure greater than can be expressed that I meet you on this occasion, and I trust that our assembling is with thine mutual good feelings which ought always to subsist between land lord and tenon. The late pressure of agricultural distress has, I fear, caused sane of you to meet with difficulties, which it was out of my power to prevent, but which I have used my utmost endea- ' roars to alleviate. I hope we have all weathered the storm; and that yea will now be able to reap the due reward of your industry. I pledge my word, that reward shall not be diminished by any proceeding s of mine. These sentiments I received from my feee&thessi I have acted upon them myself, and will en. 1 (leavens. to instill them into the mind of my son. Gentlemen, I return zou my sincere thanks ; I wish you all health and pros :crill?-sibie. Sir Roblin then hoped the gentlemen would make themselves and eetebrate a Qty hunt local themin easeneiver. during so much happiness to himself and Lady Sheffield : they would participate according to their own pleasure in the things cittl At ta rs : s hi n gt he bid than " hearty welcome." The words, eat a eassiderehia time in the ball, and the con. viviaLity of the party,-- . " the flow Iff soul,"—was net the lama for Itla Femme, but was enjoyed in its purity, by the sociability of his manners, and his kind and gentlemanly conduct to every Lodi. viduaL The ble tenants were delighted to witness the re prearastrilles_ pad old times, when our English nobility hesitated not te ulab the spirited yeomanry of the land, and identify sa d themselves wl ii their math pursuits, pieseures, and pastimes. On retiring, Sir Rabat d was greeted with rounds of applause, and appear gratified at witnessing the order and re rgularity of the elm , and the fervid seal shown to himself and family. The afterwards methodised the remaining pleasures et the t several most excellent toasts and senti ments were *sok te ' alternately followed either the inspiring =semantic se ebeettell belled. The happiness of the party was complete and beam the obvious desire and deter mination to please mud to The whole was in strict con formity, and in the tarn 't of the request made to them by the liberal, generous, eat beepitable proprietor. All was hilarity and congratulation the and the company separated at a late bone, with impressions thankfulness tor pleasures that will be key Mercury. RIDING TO HOUNDS. An able writer on this subject gives the following account of a daring rider, in the last Number of the Sporting Magazine : " If 1 were asked who it was that had shewn the greatest con. tempt for the consequence of a bad fall, that ever came under my observation, I should have no hesitation in saying, it was a_ gentle man of the name of Stanhope, who was on • visit to Sir Belling. ham Grisham, when he hunted the Atherstone country. On the Friday, his hone fell with him, and hurt his shoulder, but nothing was broken or displaced. The consequence was, he came out on the following Monday with his arm In a sling. We found a fox in the finest part of Sir Bellingham's Leicestershire country, and killed him is fifteen minutes, during which Mr. Stanhope was in a very good place. Having hail the pleasure of meeting him, a few evenings before, at Sir Bellingham's, l asked him if he did not find it very awkward to ride with only one handy when he assured me he found little difficulty, with the horse he was then riding, as he was so very temperate, a:A had never given him a fall. • That is dangerous to boast of.' said Ito him ; and here the conversation ended. We found another fox, and had • fine run of an hour and ten minutes with him, and killed him. About the middle of it we came to • brook, which we all got well over, with the exception of Stanhope, who, unfortunately pitching on a turn in the bank, and disdaining to look, did not clear it, and his horse threw him with great violence on the ilmosite side. I saw him lying on the ground, apparently as dead as if he had been shot at Waterloo ; but also observing a particular friend of his, es well as the huntsman, with him, and being aware that I could render him no farther assistana, I did not pull up my horse ; but I understand it was upwards of five minutes before he shewed any signs of returning animation. " On getting back to Sir Bellingham's house—haring been blooded at Bosworth--all necessary measures were taken, and the doctor would fain have persuaded Mr. Stanhope that some ribs were broken. He had • short husky eough,_and two or three other directing symptoms, which seldom mislead • skilful apothecary ; but he restated all such insinuations. and assured him he should be well in a few days ; and the Quorn hounds coming within reach on the following Thursday, he cent to meet them, still having his um in a sling. In diatom's of this cley's sport some of the party, among whom wss Mr. Stanhope, got into • corner of a field, and were pa:tided. What is nor very usual in this country, one of the hardest riders in England had dismounted his horse, and was try. in to pull down the to , . bar of a flight of rails, which did not otherwise appear practicable. ' Let me try, said Mr. Stanhope; I anion a good one.' The sequel was, he rode at it. and got a tremendous fall. On seeing him lying on the ground, Sir Belling. ham rode up to him, and said, 'Now, I'll tell you what, Stan hope, you are a good one ; hut by you shall ride no more to day ! Go to Leicester, and put yourself into your carriage, and get to town as quick as you can, and get cured !' He took his friend's advice ; and when he arrived there Mr. Heaviside found out that be had two ribs broken, and his breast-bone beaten In !" SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS FOR THE WEEK.
