A short time ago, as the Countess of CLAREN. DON was walking in her Park, in Hertfordshire, accompanied by her Ladyship's sister, they were attacked by an Indian bull, which had been some years feeding with the deer and other cattle, and considered perfectly quiet. The bull ran after these ladies for full a quarter of a mile, bellow ing and throwing up the ground in the most vicious temper : he had come so near to them, that one of the ladies had got her shawl ready to throw at him, as a last resource. When almost dead with fatigue by running, they.reached a stable, into which they escaped. From that mo ment the bull became so furious, he was obliged to be tied with cords until he could be killed.— (Morning Paper.) Hussey, the murderer of a man in Cloth Fair, a few months since, and for the apprehension of whom the Court of Aldermen offered a reward of 1001, arrived from Ireland on Monday night, in custody of Mr. Cope, one of the City Marshals, and Foster, one of the City Police : be was safely lodged in the Compter. It is supposed he made a desperate resistance at the time of his apprehension, having several wounds on bis body. Ile was escorted by a party of horse, heavy ironed, from Dublin to the water side. His con duct from thence was very orderly, and, in con sequence, he was allowed every indulgence con sistent with his safe custody.

Parry, T. .Hill, NC); nobir Dontine followed the removal of the cloth, with a succession of animating and constitutional Toasts, many of which .we shall presently enumerate. The appropriate observations, introductory of the toasts, and the return of thanks by Gentlemen, whose healths had been given, afforded occasional. opportunities for the expression of sentiments con nected with the political principles, and great name of hint, whose memory was the object of the day.—To give the several speeches in detail, would exceed the ordinary limits of a Paper. In proposing the memory of the late Right Ho nourable Wm. Pict, the Chairman took a general and com prehensive view of' the character of that illustrious States man, and considering kini as the presiding Genius, at the Helm of State, who had brought her through all the storms and tempests, which had threatened her very existence; he justly had become entitled to the characteristic and well merit ed appellation of" the Pilot that weathered the Storm."—The toast to the Duke of Beaufort was introduced by the Chair man with expressions of personal attachment which always find a ready way to the heart ; he said, that though he was aware thatle had thus indulged himself, he was sure, at the same time, that those around him fully knew how to appre ciate. his Grace's undeviating course in the support of Mr. Pitt's administration the steadiness of his political life, and the vir tues of his private character. In announcing the name of Lord Edward Somerset, the Chairman said, that whatever was deficient in himself in doing justice to the known gallantry and military services of his Lordship he was confident would be made up by a grateful ful country. That from the high and efficient command which he bore, and so conspicuously executed on the memo rable day of Waterloo, he might be said to have largely con tributed to the important results of that triumph which bad blessed, not only this country, but all Europe, with a peace. that promised a store settled state of things than had been exhibited for ages, and that if his Lordship had thus a claim on the grateful tribute of his country at large, he must surely long live in the estimation of a country of which he is a native, and the Representative. The lion. W. Radium, in naming Lord Stowell, paid a just and elegant encomium to the celebrity of his Lordship's character. In the course of which lie observed that 'the code of iraernational law, which it might well be said had been reared by his Lordship, was so luminous, comprehen sive, and just, that it had even obtained the recognition and adoption of other countries, and that in mentioning his Lord ship's name, he could not but connect with it that of his Noble Brother, who had now presided in the Court of Chancery for nearly a quarter of a century, with a depth and extent of knoiv ledge of the law, which could outy be walled by the purity with which he administered it. The iiight .Hort. chitties Retia:ft, who had so tunny years shared in tne administration of Mr. Pitt, in returning thanks upon his health having been drank, gave an outline of that eventful period, With such striking perspicuity that we regret we canuot do justice to it. Ile closed it by 'mythic, that be hatt now retired into private life, in the bosom of his faintly, to be yet useful lie hoped, in the more limited sphere of action, in which be might be engaged. Too e e t fl ed ee t t l t d h a e y re ; i h s, is in k h r i t i o s wn urbanity never presided with much cannot be said for the mann er i n which the Chairman conducted the day; his known urbanity never presided with bet tdeur deportment, a soft, but impressive power, which ever b e lon gs to t h e un if orm attentions and yield rsdheedanGdevnedneimsoann, nig T i t n ie ti p u r e o n t e v es siO o n f a of fi t n u i .

After destroying the back part of the house in which it broke out, and damaging two others, the fire was got under. [A similar account of this Meeting appeared in the Glou cester Journal of Monday last.l ROYAL NATIONAL BATH C OMPAN y.—The formation of this Company, under the highest patronage, seems peculiarly calculated to promote th e grand design of improving the Metropolis. The intention of the Company is to construct Building Establishments in various parts of bon don and its vicinity, from designs which, it is said, will do ho nour to the architecture of the kingdom ; those at the West end of the town to be on a scale of great magnifi cence . Contem plating the advantages which-will be derived from bathi n g by the community at large, other bath s will be formed upon plans suited to the relative conditions of the inhabitants residing in their immediate neighbourhood. We understand, that the Company has already advanced far towards the attainment of their object ; treaties have been concluded for several admir able plats of ground with the houses thereon ; and, it is calcu lated, that several of these splendid IlatbinF Establishments will be completed by the next season. The Company is form. ed in .5,000 shares, most of which were subscribed for at the first general meeting, when finished designs were submitted by the ingenious projectors, Messrs. Bantock, (sears, and ',ewer, archi tects; amongst the designs was included that exhibited by Mr. Geary, in 1817, at the Royal Academy. Of the advantages which will result to the public generally from the construction of national baths, there cannot be two opinions ; the thousands who expose themselves continually at all places of resort for bathers,.and the numerous accidents which daily occur, are subjects of painful interest; and whilst the beneficial efrects of bathing is universally admitted, the want of appropriate baths is an evil of two great a magnitude to be allowed to pass un noticed, and on these accounts alone, were there no other reason, the formation of the Royal National Bath Company deserves to be ranked amorist the very few speculations which promise as much advantage to the publre as to the proprietors themselves; still, the prospects of those who have undertaken thi s nat ional work are flattering—what is loudly called for, on all hands, as the means of gratifying the public, and what is recommended by every member of the faculty as a renovator and preservative of health, cannot lose its virtue by possession, or its efficacy by facility of attainment. LITERARY NOTICE. OUR V11.1,A,G8: Sketches of Rural Character and Scenery. By Maki' RUSSELL MrrFoan, Author of " Julian," a Tragedy. The literary world is well acquainted with the works of this Lady, and they have raised her name into a high degree of poetical reputation. There i 3 a degree of spirit in all her poems, as welt as a knowledge of mankind, which could hardly be expected from a lady of retired habits. her tragedy of Julian displayed great poetical merit ; but the many poems which she had previ ously given to the public did not require the ad• dition of that drama tit egtablish her fame as one of the best female writers of the present day. The work before us takes us completely into the country. The imagination is fully impressed with the pastorallife of 1 agiuncl. The descyipA. dons of the varietf of rural scenvry are accurate: and vivid, and her delineation of character indi cates attentive observation. There is a peculiar nicety of discrimination in all the personages which the fair author introduces, and it is really difficult to conceive how she could have an op portunity of so attentively observing the charac ters who figure in the scenes which she presents to us. We should be glad to give her represen tation of a Country Cricket Match, if it would not occupy more space than we can conveniently allot to it. The scetke is described with a kind of bustling animation that transports us to the spot, and makes us easily participate in the ac tion. But, independently of the amusement which this work affords, it is characterized by a moral charm, and by all the amiable feelings of refined sensibility. We shall content ourselves with giving at present one of the portions of the work, which is intitled Tom CORDERY, as it affords a fair specimen of the acumen wkh which the writer studies characters, and of the spirit with which she describes . them. Upon the whole, we may fairly recommend this amusing volume •to the man of taste, as well as to those who wish to enjoy alew pleasant and diverting rambles into the country, which they will be sure toenjoy if they travel to" Oun LLAD e." • TOM CORDERV. There are certain things and persons that seem as if they could never die : things of such vigour and hardiness, that they seem constituted for an interminable duration, a sort of isnmor tality. An old pollard oak of my acquaintance used to give me this impression. Never was tree so gnarled, so knotted, so full of crooked life. Garlanded with ivy and vvoodbine, almost bending under the weight of its own rich leaves and acorns, tough, vigorous, lusty, concentrating as it were the very spirit of vitality into its own curtailed proportions,—could that tree ever die ? I have asked myself twenty times, as I stood look ing on the deep water over which tt hung. and in which it seemed to live again—would that strong dwarf ever fall ? Alas! the question is answered. \Valking by the spot to-day- 7 this very day—there it lay prostrate ; the ivy still clinging about it, the twigs swelling with sap, and putting forth already the early buds. There it lay a victim to the taste and skill of some admirer of British woods, who with the - tact of Up Foscolo (that prince of amateurs) leas discovered in the knots and gnarls of the exterior coat the leopard-like beauty which is concealed within the trunk. There it lies, a type of sylvan instability, fallen like an emperor. Another piece of strung nature in a human form used to convey to use exactly the same feeling-- and he is gone too ! Tom Cordery is dead. The bell is tolling. for him at this very moment. Toni Cordery dead ! the words seem almost a contradiction. One is tempted to send for the sexton and the undertaker, to undig the grave, to force open the coffin-lid —there must be some mistake. But, alas! it is too true; the typhus fever, that axe which levels the strong as the weak, has hewed bins down at a blow. Poor Tom Cordery! This human oak slrew on the wild North-of-Hampshire IV v a ted country, of which 1 have before made honourable mention; a planted, w a s n t sl imrt uncu so me andof the uncivilised greater ; p a r o p p m r i country of heath, and hill, and forest, partly reclaimed, in ifnorcitlsieetnl for wild animals of every species. Of these the most notable was my friend Tom Cordery, who presented in his person no proper refuge unfit emblem of the district in which he lived—the gentlest of savages, the wildest of civilised men. Ile was by calling rat catcher, hare-finder, and broom-maker ; a triad of trades which lie has substituted for the one grand profession of poaching, which he had followed in his younger days with unrivalled talent and success, and would, undoubtedly, have pursued till his death, hail not the bursting of an overlo a d e d gun unluckily shot off ds left hand. As it was, he still contrived to mingle a little of his old unlawful occupation with his honest callings; was a reference of high authority amongst the young aspirants, an adviser of undoubted honour and secresy—snspected, and more than suspected, as being one " wh o , t h oug h he played no more, o'erlooketl , the cards: Yet be kept to windward of the law, and indeed contrived to be on such terms of social and even friendly intercourse with the guardians of the game on 111. Commons, as may be said to prevail between reputed thieves and the myrmidons of justice in the neighbourhood of Bow street. Indeed his especial crony, the head-keeper, used some times to hint, when Tom, elevated by ale, had provoked him by overerowing, " dint a stump was no bad shield, and that to shoot off a hand and a bit of an arm for a blind, would be nothing to so daring a chap as Tom • Cordery." This conjec ture, never broached till the keeper was warm with wrath and liquor, and Torn fairly out of hearing, always seemed to me a little super-subtle; but it is cert a in th a t 'loin's new professions did bear rather a suspicious analogy to the old, and the feriets, and terriers, and mongrels by whom he was surrounded. " did really look," as the worthy keeper ob served, " fitter to find Christian hares and pheasants, than rats and such vermin." tito in good truth did Tom,himself. Never did an human being look more like that sort of sportsman com monly called a poacher. He was a tall, finely-built man, with a prodigious stride, that cleared the ground like a horse, and a power of continuing his slow and steady speed, that seemed nothing less than miraculous. Neither man, nor horse, nor dog, could out-tire him. Ile had a bold, undaunted presence, and - an evident strength and power of bone and muscle. You might see by looking at him, that he did not know what fear meant. In his youth he had fought more battles than any man in the forest, lie was as if born without nerves, totally insen sible to the recoils and disgusts of humanity. I have known him take up a huge adder, cut ()Fits head, and then deposit the liv= ing and writhing body in his brimless hat, and walking with it coiling and wreathing about his head, like another %ledusa, till the sport of the day was over, and he carried it home to se cure the tat. NVith all this iron stubbornness of nature, he was of a most mild and gentle demeanour, had a fine placidity of countenance, and a quick blue eye beaming with good hu mour. His face wits sunburnt into one general pale vermilion hue that overspread all his fawns ; his very hair was sun burnt too. His costume was generally a smock-frock of no doubtful complexion, dirt-coloured, which hung round him in tatters like fringe, rather augmenting than diminishing, the freedom, and, it I may so say, the gallantry of his bearing. This frock was furnishes! with a huge inside pocket, in which to deposit the game killed by his patrons—for of his three em ploymentsohat which consisted of finding hares for the great tanners and small gentry, who were wont to course on the common, was by far the moat profitable and most p l ea sing to him, and to them. livery body liked Tom Cordery.

Two spots in the large Wild inclosures into Which the heath had been divided were his especial favourite , the Hundred Acres, alias the Poor Allotment, alias the Burnt Common—(Dk any or all of these titles convey any notion of . the real destination of that m an y-n a m e d pl ace ? a pi ece o f m oor land portioned out to serve for fuel to the poor of the parish)— this was one. Oh the barrenness of this miserable moor ! Flat, marshy, dingy, bare. Here that piece °fifteen treachery, a hog ; there parched, and pared, and shrivelled, and black with smoke and ashes utterly desolate and wretched every where, except where amiclat the desolation blossomed, as at mockery, the enamelled gentianella. No hares ever came there; they had too much taste. Yet thither would Torn lead his unwary employers ; thitherto, however warned, or cautioned, or experience, would he by reasoning or in duction, or gentle persuasion, or actual fraud, entice the hapless gentlemen ; and then to see him with his rabble of finders pac ing up and down this precious " sittingground," (for so was Toni, thriftless liar, wont to call it), pretending to look for genie, counterfeiting a tueuse; forging a form ; andaelling a story some ten years old of a famous hare once killed in that spot by his honour's favourite bitch Marygold. I never could thoroughly understand whether it were design, a fear that too many hares might be killed, or a real anti honest mistake, a ge nuine prejudice in favour of the place, that influenced Tom Cora dery in this point. Helf the one, perhaps, and halt' the other. Allred motives , let Pope and his disciples say what they will, are by far the commonest in this parts-coloured world. Or he had shared the fate of greater men, and lied till lie believed—a coursing Cromwell, beginning in hypocrisy and ending in fa: natichon. Another pet spot wits the [fellows-piece, an Melo sure almost as large as the Hundred Acres, where a gibbet had once borne the botlies of two murderers, with the chains mind bones, even in my remembrance, clanking and creaking in the wind. The gibbet was gone now ; but the name reuutinet:, and • the feeling, tteep, sad, anti shuddering. The place, too, was, wild, awful, fearful ; a heathy, furzY spot, sinking into broken hollows, where murderers might lurk ; a few withered pines at the upper end, and amongst them, half hidden by the brain - bles, the stone in which the gallows had been fixed ; the bones 'must have been mouldering beneath. All Tom's eloquence, seconded by two capital courses, failed to drag me thither a second time. Tom was not, however, without that strong sense of natural beauty which they who live amongst the wildernesses and fast. nesses of nature so often exhibit. One spot, where the com mon trenches on the civilized world, was scarcely less his ad miration than mine. It is a high hill, half-covered, with furze, and heath, and bioont, and sinking abruptly down to a large pond, almost a lake, covered with wild water fowl. 'rho ground, richly , clothed with wood, oak, and beech, and elm, rest-s on the other side with equal abruptitess, as if shutting in those glassy waters from all but the sky, which shines so brightly in their clear bosom : just in the bottom peeps a small sheltered farm,whose wreaths °flight smoke,and the white glancing . wings of the wild duets, as they flit across the lake,. are all that wive to ken of motion or afire. I have stood there in utter oblivion of greyhoundor of hare, till moments have swelled to minutes, and minutes to hours ; and so has Tout, conveying, by his ex clamations of delight at its "pleasantness," exactly the same feeling which a poet or a painter (for it breathes the very spirit of calm and sunshiny beauty that a master-painter loves) would express by different but not truer praise. lle called his own, home " pleasant" too; and there, though one loves to hear any home so called—there, I must confess, that favourite phrase, which like almost as well as they who have no (Ala, did, seem rather misapplied. And yet it was finely placed, very, finely. It stood in a sort of defile, where a road almost perpen dicular wound from the top of a steep abrupt hill, crowned with a tuft of old Scottish firs, into a dingle of fern and wild brush wood. A shallow, sullen stream oozed from the bank on one side, and, after forming a rude channel across the road, sank into a dark, deep pool, halt' hidden amongst the 'allows. Be hind these eallows, in a nook between them arid the hill, rose the uncouth and shapeless cottage of Tom Cordery. It is a, scene which hangs upon the eye anti the memory, striking, grand, almost sublime, and above all emi nent ly foreign.No English painter would choose such a, subject for an - klnglish landscape; no one in a picture would take it for English. It might pass for one of those scenes which have furnished models to Salvator, Rosa.. Tom's cottage was, however, very thoroughly national anti characteristic ; a low, ruinous hovel, the door of which was fastened with a sedulous - attention to security, that contrasted strangely with the tattered thatch of the roof, and the half broken windows. No garden, no pigity, no pens for hgeese, none of the usual signs of cotta ge h a bi tation ;-- yet t h e ouse was covered with nondescript dwellings, and the very walls were animate with their extraordinary tenants ; pheasanta, partridges, rabbits, tame wild ducks, half tame hares, and their enemies by nature and education, the ferrets, terriers, and stool grels, of whom hie retinue consisted. Great ingenuity hail been evinced in keeping Separate these jarring elements ; and by dint of hutches, cages, fenctea.kenntl, and half a dean little hurdled inclosures resembling the resort of courts which chil dren are apt to build round their ca rd:houses, peace was'iu y e r , well a a f n e e t i r r a l or t e f r a a n b g l token that it was but a forced and hollow trace. and a; n t P h r e c i m r tr it Y e t v li er a l F i r n e s q t i u n e c n ts t a reia lltis a'ro h i o ta w e e d7 gr such times times the clamour was prodigious.
