On Easter Sunday the Princess ALT.GUSTA went , from her residence at Frogmoro to Windsor, and attended Divine Service at St. George's Chapel, and heard a Sermon preached by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. STOPFORD. After which her Royal • Bighness received the sacrament.—Yesterday morning the Princess Augusta arrived in town from Frogmore, at her apartments in the King's Palace, Pimlico, to remain some time. Mrs. Courrs, accompanied by her physician, Dr. THOMAS, and a large retinue of domestics were for some days last week at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, whence she proceeded on a tour through Cornwall, preparatory to her stay at Teignmouth, where a house is preparing for her residence. A Meeting of Ship-owners and others con . meted with the maritime interest was held at the Trinity- House, in Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Tuesday last, to consider the several alterations proposed in the Navigation Laws, by the Bills introduced by Mr. WALLACE. It was resolved that a Comaiittee of nine, three each from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, North, - and South Shields, should be appointed, to correspond with the several Out-ports, and to prepare petitions to both Houses of Parliament, against the Bill, as likely to injure the maritime interests of this country. WILLIAM MURRAY BORTHWICEL was appre hended at Dundee on Thursday, by a Justiciary warrant, and brought to Edinburgh jail, from whence he is to be transmitted to Glasgow, for trial at the Circuit Court, which meets on the 18th instant, under an indictment for stealing from lockfast places, in the office of the Glasgow Sentinel, certain written • papers. The writings in question are those which gave occa , sion to the late fatal duel. .(Edinburgh Courant, April 6.) A party of stocking weavers from Nottingham and towns ad jacent, dissatisfied, as we are informed,have thought proper this week to come here on a begging expedition, and to behave in a vere insolent manner to many persons who were not dis- Poscd . to relieve them. An account of their proceedings having reached the ears of the Magistrates, they were ordered to leave tree town, which they have since done, as a preferable alterna tive to that of being punished for vagrancy.—( Sheffield Mee- • rary,- April 6.) DREADFUL SUICIDE.—CORONER'S INQUEST. — Saturday evening an Inquisition was taken at the house of Mr. Oxberry, the sigh of the Craven Head and Theatrical Chop house, in Drury-lane, before GEORGE Hems, Esq., Coroner for the City a nd Liberties of 'Westminster, on the body of J. Nin e a bootmaker, who put a dreadful period to his existence on Friday morning last. The deceased has been for some time past suffering all the complicated horrors of a brain fever, which has at times worked him up to ti state of absolute phrenzy. On Thursday night he appeared something better than usual, and retired to bed rather composed; but this calm was only assumed, as lie by some means, unknown to his wife, concealed a razor near him, and early in the morning, whilst the latter was asleep, inflicted a deep wound in his neck, which divided the carotid arteries and also the wind- Pipe at one stroke ! The blood instantly spouted out as from a f'ountain, and in an instant covered all the bed-clothes and the floor. Mrs. Nix was awakened in consequence' ' and finding her self and her unfortunate husband covered with blood, sunk into violent hysterics, and remained in the most imminent danger for some time, wholly unable to call for any assistance. At length she recovered sufficient strength to give a faint alarm, which had the effect of bringing the people of the house to her aid, and the horrible scene which presented itself to their astonished sight cannot be adequately described. A medical Gentleman was immediately proeured, who pronounced the deceased to have been dead some time ; and from the testimony of all the witnesses examined, the Jury were convinced that the unfortunate man waS labouring under a mental aberration at the time he com mitted the act, in consequence of which they returned a verdict, " That the deceased met his death by _his own hand, being at the time in a state of derangement." Mrs. N. is in great danger. THE LORD AND LADY MAYORESS'S GRAND ENTERTAINMENTS. The customary Easter Civic Dinner and Ball were yesterday given at the Mansion-house. A material improvement, was effected in the entertainment upon this occasion, by consider ably abridging the number of cards which it was the practice hitherto to issue ; in consequence of which the guests were more select and better accommodated than usual. The Lady Mayoress received her company before dinner in the ball room ; in discharging which office her Ladyship displayed much ease and elegance of manner. The Lord Mayor's gen tlemanly deportment and polite attention to his guests also attracted universal notice. The company adjourned to the Egyptian-hill to dinner at about half-past six o'clock. They consisted of Lord Viscount Sidmouth, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Mr. Peel, and some other Members of the Ministry ; the. Lords Bishops'of London and Llandaff, and other Church dignitaries; the Lords Chief 'Latices of England, and the Court of Com mon Pleas ; the Vice-Chancellor ; several of the Diplomatic Corps, as well as•of the leading members of the Senate and the Army, and other gentlemen of distinction ; her Grace the Duchess of Richmond, and several ladies of rank ; in all tibout 3110 individuals of both sexes. The lord Mayor had expected that the Duke of York and the remainder of the Cabinet Mi nisters would have been else present; but, owing to a party given by his Majesty at Brighton, his Lordship's expectations in this respect were . disappointed. There were five tables laid out in the hall ; which, from being prettily ornamented . with festoons of flowers attached to pillars along the centre of' each, had an extremely picturesque appearance upon entering the room. Nor, upon a closer inspection, did their more solid em bellishments display less taste. '• After dinner the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, accord ing to ancient custom, drank to the health of the company from two massy cups, which were passed down the tables. This ceremony complied with, " The health of the King" was drank with four time; four. " The Royal Family"—The Duke of York and the Army"--and " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," were among the next toasts. The .Lonn MAYOR then gave "The health of his Majesty's Ministers," with three times three. ':The City of London and its Trade," was drunk with three times three. Mr. PEEL returned thanks on behalf of his colleagues who were present as well as on behalf of those who were away, solely from the circumstance of their being out of London. If e was well aware that it would be extremely presumptuous for any man to appropriate to himself the approbation bestowed on the body of which he was a member; but as an individual, he begged to say, that no situation could make him cease to feel proud of the honour which his family derived from its con nexion with the City of London, or make him feel less sincerely the wish that London might long retain its present pre-emi nence as the Chief City of Europe. The Earl of SHAF TESBU RY proposed, in a brief. but appro priate speech, " The health of the Lord Mayor." The toast having been drunk with great applause, The Loop MAYOR said, he was sincerely grateful for the manner in which his health had been drunk. If e begged to say that he was anxious to imitate his predecessors in all that they had done for the comfort and gratification of their fellow citizens. Lord Viscount SIDMOUT R proposed " the health of the Lady Mayoress," which was drunk with three times three. The LORD MAYOR returned.thanks for the honour conferred on the Lady Mayoress. " The health of the Bishops" having been drank with the usual honours, • The Bishop of Lorimer returned thanks. Upon the health of the Foreign Ambassadors being given from the Chair. Baron LAarosnoetry, Minister of Baden and Hesse, rose and spoke as follows :—" My Lord Mayor, the grateful duty devolves upon me to-day, to return, on behalf of those members of the Diplomatic Corps who have, together with myself, the honour of being present at your entertainment, our warm and sincere thanks for the honour you have done us ; and, if I might be indulged with the liberty of accompanying those thanks with a toast, I should beg leave to drink to the Prosperity of this mighty City of the British Empire, which, in commercial enterprize, useful establishments, and benevo lent institutions, has set such a noble example to Europe, and outshone every other city of the universe."—(This speech was most rapturously applauded.) " The'city Magistrates" havingbeen drank with, three times three, • • Sir R. C. G LYNN returned thanks, and declared it to be the object of the City Magistrates to administer justice to all classes with the most perfect impartiality. " The C ity Members, " the Judges," and " the Sheriffs," were next given with three times three. Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. T. Wilson, Chief Justice Abbott, and Messrs. Garrett and Venables, severally returned thanks. A variety of songs and glees were sung in the course of the evening by Messrs. Taylor, Broadhurst, Pyre, Clark, and other vocal Gentlemen present. THE BALL. The company then adjourned to the Bail-room. The Lady Mayoress, surrounded by a part of her family, presided with infinite urbanity and grace, and received her distinguished visitors with the utmost affability and politeness. The ball was opened by the Prince of Ladara and Miss Frea. • The second was the Prince and Lady Lennox. We left the party in the height of their revelry. Amongst the Dinner Company we observed—Lord; Sid mouth, Lord Petersham, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Dunsany, Earl of Harrington, Baron de Cases, Baron Langdorf, Bishop of London, Bishop of Llandaff, Bishop of Lincoln, Bishop of. Salisbury, Bishop of Bangor, Right Hon.

Lady Keir Grant, Mrs. 'Wilson, Miss Shiels, Lady and Miss Jervoise, Lady Price, Mrs. Bel cher' &c. &c. Many of the Aldermen and their Ladies were present. The rest of the company consisted of the heads of the principal houses in the City, mercantile, banking, and trading. [Previous to the dinner, the Lord Mayor had made the cus tomary visit to Christ's hospital, and received in the usual manner the children of the Blue Coat School.] F4SHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

NE WS . FROM BRIGHTON, No. 1. WRITTEN I3Y , TIIE_LATE MRS. ROBINSON% BELLA HORRLDA BELLA ! ! The sons of Apollo ! the Guardians of Brighton ; Came forth cap-a-pee, a poor Paraon ‘" to frighten ! And - with valour o'ertiowing, resolving to rout him, Surnriz'd. him, with all his sweet. lambkins about him, Ana entrencli'd in the critical Fort, of a full-Pit, Assail'd the sound doctrines that came from the Pulpit ! Not regarding the .worth of the pious commander, Or the shrugs and contempt of each peaceful bystander ;. They began the attack ! With most horrible slaughter On the delicate nerves of his innocent daughter ! And had nearly endanger'd the more precious life Of that old fashion'd thing !—a chaste Clergyman's wife ! The onset was tierce ! nothing stopp'd or retarded, The Box was assail'd, and most bravely bombarded ! Not with powder and ball, as is common with heroes, But with hisses and threats, like a legion of Neros ! And for what? why.the Doctor, a man of Belle Lewes, Presum'd to have knowledge surpassing his betters ; 'Twas the hatred to worth and the enYy of talents ! That provok'd the revenge of these gallant assailants ; For the fellow had dared from his childhood to follow, The bright beaming steps of his darling Apollo ! And, the diff'rence 'twixt genius and folly discerning, Had obtain'd reputation for virtue and learning .! Ohl Gothic ! prepost'rous ! 'twas truly monastic, To retire and to study old precepts scholastic I O'er Volumes of musty, and old fashion'd knowledge, Why 'twould tarnish the camp with the rust of a College. Beside, 'twas as useless as rude to have plann'd it, . When he knew half his bearers. could scarce understand it. No wonder, indeed, that such monstrous assurance Was scouted by filAion, as past all endurance ! How dar'd such a than ! neither titl'd or splendid, Whose boast was BUT GENIUS, with SE NT I MEN T blended, Who for riots, reviews, and fine shows had no passion, Who in manners and mind was grown quite out of fashion; Who taught moral lessons—and follow'd his teaching ! Whose pleasure was peace ! and whose duty was preaching. Who with heart fraught with tenderna-ss,Yentur'd to tear His poor innocent flock fmirrilhe pates of the bear ; And with meekness, that valour should blush to cry fie on, Declar'd that the Lamb was too weak for the Lion ! Oh ! doctrine most fatal ! catastrophe grievous ! . • Why, the grave bench of Bishops will never believe us, What ! Religion a bubble, and peace so degraded ! The rights of the Church, and her precepts invaded ; Since divinity dares net humility cherish, Why our Bishops, and Prebends, and Deacons, will perish, If the Church must no longer revere Dr: Gratin, We'as well may repair to the deserts of Asia ! Or e'en pack up our cassocks, and quickly away For the civilized nations of Botany Bay. For e'en THERE shall Religion illuine the poor savage ; There the Olive shall bloom, Where no spoiler can ravage, No blood shall be spilt in the cause of ambition ; But each stain be wash'd out by the tear of contrition. THERE, no laurel shall blush for the triumphs of wait THERE, no slave shall expire at the wheels of his car ! But philanthropy lead the poor su.T'rers along. And the soft song of peace whisper hope to the throng ; And Religion ! which savages dare not destroy ! Shall restore them to Virtue ! and crown them with joy ! Adieu my dear friend, I must finish my letter, With a promise, next post, to enclose you a better. Brighton, Sept. 19, 1793. TABITHA. BRAMBLE. * The late Rev. Dr. Kicox. THE THEATRES. DR r:r.Y.L AN The Tragedy of George Barnwell was with most laudable propriety brought forward last night, as it is well calcu lated to impress an awful warning on unreflecting youth; and the affecting manner in which the un fortunate hero was represented by Mr. COOPER gave admirable force to the moral lesson. A new piece, founded on H AWKESWORTH'S interest ing romance of Ahnoran and Hamel, followed.— The tale is too well known, or ought to be, to render it necessary that we should enter into the fable. It is sufficient to say that the chief inci dents are retained, and the whole was well sup ported by the Performers, particularly COOPER, HARLEY, PENLEY, and Miss COPELAND, and was well received by the audience. ' CovENT-GARDEN.—TIre Tragedy of Wallace was followed last night by a' new splendid melo drama, entitled Cherry and Fair Star, derived, of course, from those ancient stores of Arabian wonders which were the delight of our earlier days, and which can powerfully interest the imagination at any period of life. It is seldom that so magnificent a spectacle has been pre sented to the public, and as this is the age for scenery, processions, &c. &c., on account of those large theatres which have been essentially inju rious to the regular drama,theManagers are obliged to submit to that vitiated taste which they have themselves created, and by which they suffer themselves, as they are put to a greater expence than could possibly attend well written tragedies, comedies, and farces. But such is now the pub lic taste, and it is hardly possible that it could be more amply gratified than in the new piece of last night. The scenery is, indeed, peculiarly grand, various and picturesque, and the performance altogether was such as to pre r sent it with full effect. Miss FOOTE, as Fair Stal , was the heroine. She supported the part with grace and feeling. Mrs. VINING has much increased her reputation by her performance of Cherry, the Prince. Miss BEAUMONT was not less effective in the Queen of the Fairies. Gas. raat.nr varied the interest by his grotesque drol leries, and a numerous audience gave such ap plause to the whole as to promise the Managers a full recompence for their adventurous liberality. SURREY THEATRE.—As this Theatre is under the conduct of Mr. TIIOMAS DIEDIN, who, as well as his brother CHARLES, inherits a great por tion of the talents of his late father, the unrivalled British Lyrist, the productions of his pen are al ways calculated to amuse, and are never without a moral purpose. The chief piece of last night was founded on the popular subject of Tom and. Jerry; which is brought forward with amusing novelty, and Corinthian Torn and Logic were sustained with great spirit by BENGOUGH and GOMERY, as well as Jerry by Bunaotons, the original performer of that part at the Adelphi Theatre. Mr. NATHAN and some of his female pupils afforded much pleasure" in the previous ballet. The concluding piece Was the Panto mime of Mother Goose, and the whole excited general applause. COBURG THEATRE.—This theatre opened last night with new embellishments in the interior, and a very diverting pieee entitled Life in Paris, a counterpart of Life in London, and not less calculated to be generally attractive. ADELPHI.—'Phis Theatre last night brought forward Mr., ALEX4.NDRE, the celebrated Ven triloquist, whose extraordinary versatility of voice and personation we have already noticed. The house was well attended, and the performers de servedly applauded. SADLER'S WELLS. —The holiday folks were highly gratified last night at this old popular Theatre by another piece on the subject of Tom and Jerry, and a new Pantomime, entitled Har lequin's Ancestori. The Theatre has been newly ornamented, and the season commenced very favourably. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING, 1822. MONDAY, APRIL 8.

LANCASTER, SATURDAY, Arum 6. • THIRD DAY. [ Continued from Yesterday's Stara.) The first witness called was. Mr. JonathanAn drew,who was or arnined by Mr.Serjeant CROSS. lie deposed as follows :-.4-was ane of the constables of the town of Manchester on the 16th of August, 1819. I was one of the two chief constables.* The police of the town is under a boroughreeve and two chief con stables. I had frequently occasion to be alarmed before the 16th-of August, and more particularly on the near approach of that day. That populous district, Manchester, was in el very disorderly state prior to the 16th of August. The greatest part of my time was occupied by it, as well as the dine of my col leagues, Mr. Moore and Mr. Clayton. The former was my brother constable, the latter was the boroughreeve. A great deal of the time of the Magistrates was also devoted to the state of tfie town. During the greater part of the year 1819 we were in that troubled state. 1 had frequent - communications witle the Magistrates on the subject. The Magistrates of Osa shire and Lancashire frequently assembled together. - -The part of the country in which I resided I also' found in a very distinieed state, so much so as to cause me to send my wife and, familk-to Liverpool for safety, to be out of the way, a month previous to the 16th of August. I was frequently present at the meetings of the Magistrates of the two counties. I coin municated to them, from time to time, the state of the dis trict. I had no motive, whatever, but 'the public safety, for my frequent communications with them. I had reason to ex pect a public meeting at Manchester on the 9th of August, 1813. Such paper as this (looking at a placard which the Learned Sergeant exhibited) was posted in great numbers all over the town. It added much to my apprehension for the safety of the town and neighbourhood, when I learned that. Hunt and Carlile from London were to take a lead at the me#6. ing. Hunt had been at Manchester before, during my year of office. I believe he was in Manchester in Jul}}. I can swear that I saw him in Manchester previous to the 16th of August, but I cannot speak to the day. The town was generally mote disordetly, when he made his appearancea I resided at a place celled, Hendon-hall, about two miles from Manchester. The 16th 'Of August, 1619, fell on a Monday ; and late . on Satur - daylbt nth, or early on Sunday the 15th, I - 1 / 4 was awoke by tremendous shouting in the•publie road. It was between the hours of one and two in the morning. My house is 150 yards from the road. I got out of bed, and went near to the turn pike road, where I placed myself in my plantation. There I perceited about 30 or 40 people in a line on the foot-path. I heard one of the men— Mr. BLACKBURN objected to this as evidence. It did net apply to the facts of the plaintiff's case. It did notappear that the plaintiff was present. • Mr. Justice lloaßoYn held that the defendants had a right to call evidence to prove that the Magistrates were obliged to act in a certain Manner. Evidence as to the state of the town was admissible. Mr. Bt. AcKnunx—We complain of a trespass,. and we have been prevented from giving evidence as to the other parts of the conduct of the defendants, and with respect to the can - duct of the Magistrates, generally, as not bearing on the tre.s pass complained of. He contended that he had as much right to object to the evidence now offered by . his Learned Friend, which did not meet his case, as they had to reject the evidence as to the general conduct of the M agistrates, which he had ten dered: _ _ _ Mr. Justice HOLROYD said, the evidence the defendants now adduced went directly to support certain of their pleas. Mi. EVANS said, he relied confidently on the decision which his Lordship had already come to in this case, as expressly in point with reference to the present evidence, which, under that decision, was not, he contended, admissible. If his Learned Friends were entitled to give evidence of various proceeding; which occurred in Manchester about this time, the Counsel for the plaintiffs were surely entitled to give evidence of all the acts of the defendants on the day in question. Mr. Justice HOLROYD was clearly of opinion, that the evi dence now offered applied to a part of the facts put in issue on this case. One of the points to be consirdered was, whether there existed an unlawful and seditious conspiracy to excite disaffection against the Government, and to subvert the Go vernment and Constitution as by law established; another was whether there had been a meeting of the disaffected to alter the Government and Constitution; and a third, whether, before the 16th of August, divers persons had not been elandestinel)f drilled. The present evidence went to prove these general el legations. It showed the general state of the district, by whit h the conduct of the Magistrates was guided, and therefore ought to be received. Examination continued.—l saw 20 or 30 people in line on the footway. I heard some person call out, " Where is Ser jeant Robinson ?" Some one answered " He is here." 'The number of people then collected immediately marched off to weeds a place called White Moss: This was on the new Roch dale road, the public road to White Moss. The people paesed in the, direction from Manchester towards White Moss. I called upon my gardener, 'whose cottage was adjoining, to fol low the party to the White Moss. The distance of the Moss from my house is about a mile and a half. I saw another division, of about the same number, halt near to the same pia, e as the former, and they immediately gave three shouts. Strag gling parties, of 3,4, 6,8, and 10, in companies, I saw pro ceeding on for some time, towards White Mess; I remained in the plantation upwards f two hour& T then went home. Betwixt eight and ten o'clock on the Sunday morning, a great number of persons returned, in a very disorderly state. Many of them were drunk. As they returned, they were in strag gling Parties. On my going to church, about 10 o'clock ; I perceived, betwixt my house and the town, that a great many lamps were broken, which were not damaged on the night be fore. ' I communicated these circumstances to the Magistrates, I think, on Sunday. On my way home, some short time be fore the 16th of August, I saw from 20 to 25 men, on the public road, drilling. I saw them form in sections, or separat ed ; afterwards they wheeled into line. I immediately went horrie. I did not interfere with the people I saw on the Sunday morning, because I was afraid of being ill-used. From what I saw of their conduct, I thought I could not interfere, consist ently with my personal safety, or with any good effect. from all I.knew of the state of the country, I thought it was inconsist ent with the public safety that such a meeting as that of the 16tti of Aug. should be held. I conceived that the parties coming from a distance, and marching in regular order, contributed more to the danger. I was at the meeting of the 16th. I was ordered by the Slagistrates, in conjunction with my colleagues, Mr. Moore, and the boroughreeve, to form a line of special con stables from the Magistrates' house to the hustings. A great number of additional special constables were sworn in an .tl!at day. Many had been sworn in some time before. The persoas selected for that purpose were householders, and as re . spectable as we could get them. They were a part of the principal inha bitants of the place. We formed a double line of special constables from the Magistrates' house to the hustings. It might consist of 300 persons. I considered even that number inadequate to the preservation of the public peace. The line extended, in the first instance, quite up to the hustings, which consisted of a cart and some boards. lire formed that line is. order that we might hear the orators, give information to the Magistrates, and keep up the communication. At one ends' the line, the Magistrates were assembled in Mr. Buxton's house. Previoui to that day, the Magistrates used frequently to hold their meetings at the Star inn. I saw several of the Manchester Magistrates at Mr. Buxton's.. There were also present some of the Stockport and Bolton Magistrates. Col. Fletcher is a Bolton Magistrate. Messrs. Tutton and Mr. Trafford are Stockport Magistrates. Mr. Teton and Mr. Trafford, who reside in Cheshire, used frequently . to come over and stay at the Star inn for the purpose of devising means For *serving the peace._ also did Mr. Hulton, of Hulton. never saw the two former act as Magistrates for Manchester, except on this extraordinary occasion. The greatestpart of the time I was in office I was in constant communication with the Magistrates. • I came into office in the month of October, 1818. The Magistrates were at one end of the line of constables, nett the busting at the other. After the line of constables had been brought close to the hustings, I saw them removed about tie or eight yards from the constables. The Intermediate spacebe tween the hustings and the constables was occupied by the pee ple who had assembled. The communication with the hustings, was from thenceforth cut off. The hustings, on that side, were no longer acceseelle to an individual. lam not aware that ale , attempt was made to re-open the communication. Such an at ' tempt might have been made, but I did not see it. The Come munication was rapidly, I may say instantly, cut off That oc currence took place about 12 o'clock. I saw great numbers arrive on the field from the country, mostly with drums beat ing, colours flying, caps of liberty, and other emblems. They took their stations in different ways, right and left, as they The people generally came in large parties or bodies. They marched regularly to the ground. I particularly remarked the Mosley division. A number of that -division• marched to the ground with sticks on their left shoulders. The sticks were of different sizes. Some were small and some large. Some of them did not appear as if they were for the purposes of walking. The sticks were larger, generally, as far as lam able to judge, than those used for walking. As they came on 'the ground, each division was received with tre mendous shouting. That happened very frequently, and move particularly on Hunt's arrival, for the greatest part of the people had then assembled. The chair was to have been taken at 12 o'clock,' as I understood from the advertisement. I never saw so great a body of people together before, except at Kersal races. The company do not go to the races with music and banners, neither do they march there in bodies of 6 or 8000.— When I saw that meeting, my alarm for the safety of the town was much increased. It was not, in my judgment, consistent GREAT PIGEON MATCH. The defeat of the Midgham Crack Club lately brought about this Match, which took place on Saturday ? at Farnham Heath, on the Forest. The Club, consisting of 18 members, were challenged to produce nine to shoot against as many picked men from six Counties, for a sweepstakes of 15 guineas each, at 13 birds from the trap, at 21 yards. The following was the order of the sport : The Club killed. Mr. Pearson - - Sadler - - Captain Smith - Mr.' Thorn Fielder - - Lomax - - Simkson - Fowler Counties killed.

ROYAL H UDi T.— Yesterday being Easter Monday the Grand .Royal Hunt took place, which was, as usual, very numerously :‘:.tended by all ranks and descriptions of persons, who travelled in vehicles of all descriptions, as well as several hundred pedes trians. The Royal huntsmen, sportsmen, and hounds, pro ceeded through the lawn of Windsor, and crossed from Wind sor to Eton in the ferry-boat, the bridge having lately been pulled down for an iron bridge to be erected in its stead. They proceeded to Farnham Common, where there were several hun dred sportsmen waiting their arrival. At half-past ten o'clock a remarkable fine deer was turned out of the cart for the day's diversion. The Badsworth Fox Hounds, under the management of the Hon. E. Petre, have had very brilliant sport, having killed 36 brace of foxes during the season. MEETISOS FOR THE PREtiENT WEEK.
