A capital hunt took place yesterday with Lord DERBY'S bounds, in the neighbourhood of the Oaks, in Kent. About seventy horsemen started, but six only were in at the d ea th. Th e H on. G. COVENTRY took the lead of the latter. The deer was killed in a paddock belonging to Mr. GOLDSMID, Merton. The course lasted one hour and ten minutes. The day was uncommonly tine. Several accidents hap pened, but none which were attended by serious lo.:sequeuce.;. _ Xll2. 1E LLLISH `S' A;.:%.-An. - „ . . . . YEISTLRDSIT a mere numerous .aAkmbly than w recollea to haVe seen for many years at any public dinner, met at the Freemasons' Tavern, to celebrate the EleEtion of Mr. MELLISH for Middlesex. The great room - was crowded a hare after five o'clock, and near one hundred and fifty Gentlemen were obliged to dine in another room. The com pany consisted of between five and six hundred Gentlemen. Sir WILLIAM GIBBONS was in the Chair. After dinner, " Non Nolis; Domine," was sung in a most excellent manner by several of the first rate professional singers. • The Chairman then gave " The King ;" which was drank with the mostapplause.-- The enthusiastic applanse. The profeSsional singers (among whom were SALE, LEETE, VAUGHAN, &c.) then sang " God Save the King." The greater part of the Companyjoined in the chorus, which produced a grand and Kapressive effe&. The healths of "The PRINCE of WALES," and of " The QUEEN and ROYAL FAMILY," were then drank with considerable applause. The Chairrhan then gave as a toast, " The Navy ;" which was drank with three times three, and loud applauses. The toast was folloWed by the song, " Britannia's best Bulwarks are her Wooden Walls." The next toast was, " The Army," whiCh was drank with similar applause. This toast was fol lowed by the song of " Britons Strike home," which was sung in a most delightful manner. " The County of Middlesex" was next given as. a toast ; and after that,. " The .Constitution which supports the People, and the:People which support's the Cons:titution." This toast was drank with great applause, and followed by a song, given (as we understand) by a Gentleinan of the name of SLATER. In this song, Mr. REivEs' comparison of the Constitution to a tree, of which the King was the trunk, and the Lords, &c. the branches, was put into poetry. The last verse of it was given by the Chairman, as a separate toast, and is as, follows : Your glasses fill, And with good will, I3e this each Briton's toast May this Tree last Without a blast, Till Time's great revolution : May Cod defend, Unto the end,. Our King and Constitution. This toast was drank with enthusiasm. The Chairman then gave the health of Mr. Was. MELLISH ; which was drank with very loud ap plause. Mr. MELLISH then rose, and addresSed , the Company to the following died :—Gentlemen, I fear I shall not be able to find language to express how grateful I feel, and how gratified I am, by the warm and kind manlier •in whi c h y ou have been pleased to drink my Health. Upon' former occa sions, Gentlemen, you : had to contend against a fadion, which was then more powerful than it is at present, which used against you the most corrupt means, and - which did ntt stop at .perjury and bribery to ,obtain its object. At present that fac tion, although less powerful, still continues to ex ist, and. . Still_ requires: that ,you should use every vigilance .. tocounterad its dangerous desi gns , an d to extirpate its principles. Y ou should, not con-: this 'contest as' entirely at an end, but you should be prepared again to resist every attempt which, may be made in future by this fadion. If, Gentlemen, I should continue steadily, with my utmost power, to :support " the best of Kings and .the best •of Constitutions," I trust I shall be, on a future occasion, honoured with the same.cordial and strenuous support which I have met with upon the late contest. I cannot avoid, on the present occasion, returning my most sincere thanks to those of you who, on the day when I was declared your. Representative, attended me from the Hustings in such numbers, and in such an honourable manner. The recollethon of this can never be effaced from my mind., I have nothing more to say, than to re turn you my most sincere thanks fbr the honour yOU: have conferred upon me by drinking my Health in such a flattering way, and I beg now to drink your Healths. After some more songs were sung, the CHAIR MAN gave " The Health of W. MAIN WARING,. Esq. and thanks to hiM for his faithful conduct. as :their' Representative in Parliament, aid for his activity and vigilance in the discharge of his ditties as a Ma gistrate." . _ This Toast was drank with great applause. Mr. MAINWARING Senior, then rose, and said, that he felt himself highly honoured by the very distinguished manner in which his health had been drank : as to the discharge of his duties as a Ma gistrate; that was a simple task, inasmuch as he had only to follow the book which prescribed to him the line of his duty; but in his political career and his tonddel as their Representative, he would venture to fay; that he could lay his band upon his heart and declare, that he bad, to the to the best of his judgment, and to the utmost of his power, faithfully discharged • that duty which their favour had iniposed upon him. It had latterly been 'his lot to oppose that man; who, for the four last years, had been disturbing the County of Mid-' dlesex. In the contest in which he had been op. posed to him, that person bad made use of the most corrupt methods to obtain a majority. By bribery'and other methods a number of spurious voters had been introduced, who did- not hesitate to perjure them selves in the most direct manner. In the late con test, however, the Baronet had 'found himself con siderably weaker, and that the sense of the Free holders of the County was decidedly against him. As be, however, still professed himself not to be disinclined to again offer himself as a,Candidate, he thought the County could not be too much upon its guard to prevent itself from being taken by sur prise, If the worthy Baronet really wished to olo• tain the good opinion of the Freeholders, and to get a seat for Middlesex, he would giVe him a recipe hoW he should set about it. He should first retraa those foul and atrocious calumnies which he had so assiduously propagated respedting the management of tle Coldbath-fields Prison, and in which he charg ed the Magistracy of the County with being guilty or cruelties, murders, and tortures. He should next recant the political principles which be had so long professed, and declare himself sorry for ever having been the bosom friend, the supporter, and protector of that traitor, CY gonnor,. He, should de . (. 1 101.6 himielf sorry fdr having been the as . Sociate tiiiit 1 intlrtiate of Colonel . Despard, up to the very time wheh be ; WaS•arreSted,pUt upon hiS trial, and 'exc . - ,cuted: If he werethus openly to recant, - and apo logize for all r the errors of his political life; and de 'dare himself sorry for the conduct he had hitherto pursued, then; perhaps, he might gain some credit and attention from the Freeholders of Middlesex, and then he would have.better pretensions to stand forward as their Representative : . but until he should take this course, the Freeholders must 'continue to' oppose him. Mr. MAINWARING then concluded, by again returning thanks for the honour which had been done him.—[This speech was received with great applause.] , After a short interval, the Chairman. gave the health of GEORGE BOULTON MAINWARING, Esq. which Was, drank with considerable applause.- , , - Mr. GEORGE BOULTON MAINWARING Ille/l,roSe, and said, the 'proudest bumper that ever he drank: in his life would be in - giving the hcalth of the company who had paid him so , great an , honour. It was, however, necessary for him ! first .to endea vour to express, as well as he was ,a; le, not only his sense•of the high honour which `h t favour—but, he • might say, the hereditary .atti(:arn4ut ,:of ,the` Freeholders Freeholders of Middlesex had conferred ()whim. He hoped that his humble endeavours had been 'of service to the County, and had • le,: to the triumph which they had now gained, and , which they were, then .assembled to celebrate. .. The faction that ex , isted when he was chosen their Representative did still exist, althongh in a lesser egree. It was. a consolation, however; to find, ,th t. although , Jaco binistn was formidable, it was.not inxincible: It . s had, upon the present Occasion, been CoMPletely . subdued ; and if the friends of the Consfitution put . forth as much zeal and energy in •a good cadse, as their enemies'did in the defence of a bad one; there could be no doubt about the issue. After expatiat ing for some time on the.corrupt practices which their opponents had recourse to upon the late elec tion, he concluded by returning thanks, and drink ing .to the healths of the company. .•. _., Several more songs and glees Were afterwards -sung, and the company did nut break up till a late hour. , The boy who was torn by the bearin thebeginning .of the week, continues to be in a very precarious si tuation. The fever returns at intervals, and it is impossible to. declare with any degree-pf certainty, whether his life is or is not safe at present. LITERATURE.- , -The Plan of the new OXFORD,RE viEw,challenges the attention and curiosity'of the literary Public, and from what we have heard of the :names of those concerned, its publication will. form an. epoch in the literary history of the age Inte grity, Independence, sound Learning, and good Principles, have long been desiderata in many of our Critical Journals. Master BETTY is now performing at Bristol. It is said that he is engaged to play a few nights at Co vent•garden this winter. It so, it is probable that he me) , also be engaged tbr a few nights at the rival Theatre.. On Thursday night, when Mr. Skinner, of Shoot er's Hill, with his temily, were coming out of Drury . Lane Theatre, in -Brydges-street, as the - footnian was carrying one of the children to the carriage, 'he was hustled by a gang of pickpockets ; he put the child down, seized one of the villains, and called the Watch, who took him into custody ; but he and the footman had the mortification to''see the villain hand off his watch to one of his gang, who made his escape with . it. Yesferday he was taken to Bow street Office, when he was recognized to be William Thompson, alias Country Will. He was committed for trial. . Wednesday . se'nnight an inquisition was taken . before Mr. RICHARDS, one .of the Coroners for terkshire, at. the Three Kings, at Sulharnslead, on view of the body of William Chanipon, who' died in consequence of an unfortunate blow which he received from Mr. Joseph Lovegrove, of the same parish. It appeared that the deceased, in company with Lovegrove and several other persons, had spent the preceding evening together at the above house, with much cheerfulness and good humour;. that - tlie party broke up between eleven and twelve o'clock to go home ; that some words arose between Love grove and one of the party; and that the deceased, without any provocation, after they had proceeded near a mile it'ont the house, pulled off his great coat, and challenged to light' the best man ; upon - which Lovegrove advanced towards him, pulled off his coat, and the second or third blow, which was given under the left ear, brought the deceased t o th e ground, and he almb s t instantly expired. The Jury,' after an examination of the witnesses, and mature deliberation, returned a verdi& of Manslaughter ; ,and Lovegrove is committed, under 'the Coroner's watrant, to the County Gaol.—Mr. Lovegrove ap pears deeply_affecaed at the issue of this unfortu nate circumstance. , , - Some mornings since as a post-chaise belonging to the White Hart Inn, at Kendal, was returning home, the driver drove the horses into the River Kent, • a little above Nether Bridge, to wash, when the waters being considerably out; they were im mediately carried down the stream ; the horses and driver perished. The following morning the body of the driver was found at Heslington Laths Mill. On. Thursday last, as Thomas-Foreman; hind to C. J. Brandling, Esq. was driving a cart along Percy -street, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the horses took fright in consequence of a discharge of musquetry by,.' some soldiers exercising in a field adjoining, by which the driver was thrown down, and so severely bruised by the vehicle passing over him, that he died the thllowing day. • To men of economy, the saving of one per Cent. is . an obje& both of interest and prudence ; yet, strange to say, many persons, .by delaying the pur chase of their Lottery Tickets and Shares to the last, moment, frequently subjed th emse l ves to an 'ad vance in price of two or three per Cent. If this has been notoriously the case in Lottery Schemes of no very striking description, what' is likely to be the re sult of such conduct in so truly a noble Scheme as tiol.v invites the warm embracb of. Adventurers in general. housekeepers and others, who are accustomed to lay in their winter stack of Candles and Soap; will find their adranfage in applying for those articles at the Wholesale Warehouse, No. 182, Fleet-street (two doors from Fetter-lane), where an allowance is made for ready-money, in proportion to tlie gum purchased at one time. • OLD BAILEY. THIRD DA.---PRIDAY. MURDER. John Antonio Nardi and Sebastian Grandi were indiEted 'for the -wilful murder of, V Brood, by infli&ing on him, on the sth of 'Novemb, r last, it mortal wound ,in the arm,'' of which he for some time lingered, and then died. The trial lasted from ten o'clock in' the morn ink till past six:in the evening. . . • The evidence for the Prosecution wislvarly similar to that adduced. before the Coroner, on. Which occa 7 . sion the - JurfgaVe a verdict of WilfidAtrder.againsi 'Nardi. It amounted in general to this,: that Grand?, While standing at the door of a sadler's i Long Acre, on the evening of the sth of Nov. 17:a.t,i.stictil ly dressed, With Birdof Paradise feathers,a r2,'..saorst -ed sash, &e. waiting for Nardi, Who was in the shop, seeing a crowtlassernble around him, advised tiieui to depart, or else his friend .who was in the, 'shop WOuld'zhoot them. That some words then ensue 4 ,tween Grandi'and the deceased,. , winch ended scuffle. 'That Nardi Came mit of the shoji; and, as 'Grandi had before skid he would,-tlifeateneFl to,shcpt. them That he ova,;. not attaeked hy,the deeepl'a j aal, - but that, at a motrient`),Vlen the cio‘vd was ri&t i ,pr%.l- sing 'upOn, him, or endovo4ing to irist Inm, ' - tie•put • his hind' ihto Ills breeches pocket, took Ont something WhiCh he. held, in his right liana, applied his left hand to it, then 'brandishing th instrument in his right band, rushed forward . struck at the deceased. An alarm was s o up. - giVen thathe bad a:knife. in his handa the,croo:l • bore'away to the opposite side of the street, W'he;'.e . Nardi -.Vent into a cheese tno ng er ' s shop, and was soon after taken into custody. The deccase4, in the mean time,, was observed-by a young Gentle man, a Surgeon, staudiog in the middle. of the' street, supported by another :young man, . hardly - able to stand. On approaching nearer to - the Gentleman heard a ru s hi ng soun d, as if ~. 'water. The..young man complained of_his thigh,' which induced the Medical Gentleman to suppose that the principal artery of the thig'i had been cut. He accordingly, with the hope Of snapping the farther et:- fnsionof the blood, clapoOd his right hand on the part most jilely to effect that ohjeca, and '.vith the other hand assisted hirtracroSs the street. Inalts manner Le conveyed hirn to the.nearest surgeon's shop, a.l;ere on examining his thigh, though therewas blood on the breeches, he could not perceive any cut in them.- 7 b Observing the hand bloody; he earnlned .the wrist, thinking,the.tendon'S' of it :had been cut through, so as lo' - occasion the g r ot effusion of blood. Finding the wrist entire, he examined farther up the arm, and observing a ctit in the Coat, hr: slit it up, and disco vered a wound a little above the bend of the arm, of between two and three inches long,. This Gentle- . man declared himself dearly Of. opinion, that both the Main; artery and, thedarge nerve were cut thro'. Indeed . he 'cOuld not: be mistaken in saying so, as he bound thern both 'on. The deceased had bled profuse 7 ly,and the Medical'Gentleman.supposed, would have bled to death . if' he had not accidentally . gone up to hint. He did not examine the wound on the thigh; as he understood it was on the outside, where there were aio large arteries. - He recommended it to the deceased to go to the Hospital, offering himself to accompany him, but the deceased said he would go home to his uncle's. About eleven o'clock; however, on the same night, the deceased was car ried to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, wheie the House Surgeon, Mr. Barker, who stated, that though he was not yet out of his:time, he had been a surgeon for six years, examined the wound. He took off the exterior dressing, but seeing - it had al- , ready been skilfully dressed by a professional man, he did not altogether undo them, of course he could not probe the wound, nor could he then l judge whether. the main artery was cut thrOngh or not. There ap- . peared to have been a great effusion of blood. The dc ceased was cold and nearly 'senseless. After adminis tering some : cordials to him the surgeon :eft him for the night. Next dayhe found the deceased a great deal better. The wound was dressed on. Friday, and, the parts seemed nearly united. It continued to Mend till the Monday following, when Mr. Barker, Clue ' surgeon, went out of town. On his return, the same evening,, be was informed that, the wound had bled afresh. He - did not see the 'deceased till • the following morning, but he understood , he had been visited by the other house surgeon, and. by Mr. Abernethie, a .Gentleman of great expe... rience. On examining the wound next morning; he tund • the deceased had lost a deal of blood, and that : the wound was, again bleeding. He therefore serif for additional. 'aid, as he could not , ascertain from what vessel'the blood came. Am putation of the arm was recommended, which was deferred, however, till Sir - James Earle should ar rive. When he and Mr. Ramsden 'came it was foPnd that the loss of blood had been too Much to enable the deceased to support the operation, and he . died about half-past twelee that day. On exarnin ing the arm after the young man's death, it was found that the incision had been made completely . to the bone ; .that..the main :artery and t wo o f t he principal nerves ere entirely divided. 'On being . questioned by the Judge as to the cause of the young man's death, Mr.. Barker said, that the woun9 in, the arm was the cause of the bleeding; and, of course, of his death. On his. Cross-examination by Mr. GURNEY, ,whe ther, if a ligature had been applied both above' and below the wound, the yoting man might not at this moment have been alive ?—fle , answered 'in the af firmative. There was only one ligature applied, whereas, if they had been aware that the artery was divided there would have. been two. He did not exa minc'any thing about,the artery till after the young mail was dead. It went on so well he did not think it necessary. He did not perceive any symptom to induce a belief that the artery was. divided. Any examination of the parts while the deceased was so much exhausted by loss of blood seemed imprudent, as it might haVe caused a still greater effusion . ; , and he did not think himself warranted in undoing the dressings of any other medical man of skill, as the person who had dressed the arm seemed to have beeP . , when accompanied with so great a risk.. On the part:oe the Defence, the evidence - adduced, was, in 'many ,particulars, ccmpletely contradictory to that in support.ofthe ProseCution., Among Others, tiVilliacn .Drew, ,shoethaker, of Duke's-court, ,St. Martin's-lane, represented, the . conduet of Mai originally to have been entirely - jocular. That the deceased, after previously abusing - Grandi, cam ' I
