daring the night of Tuesday, and several slates and
chimney pots toppled to terra firma. The wind
blowing into the bay the tide rose to an unusual
Issiiht, and the spray formed by the dashing of
tke WWICII against the wall of the esplanade was grand
indeed.

" HOTSPUR," in the Daily relegrapA, says :—Racing
-topics are not abundant at this period, and there is ,
very little coating news for comment. Mr. Jackson
and Sir Fredtrick Johnstone have made an extra-
ordinary match, the last-mentioned having betted the
leviathan" £5,000 level p. p. that he tikes him into the
.Pylichlrry oountry and " pounds " him. In fact, it is
like " doing dads," a favourite pursuit among school
boys, and Sir Frederick's plan will be to take hid
opponent over all sorts of impossible brooks and tenon,
with the object of " pounding " him and winning his
wsger. Mr. Jackson is a tremendously fearless rider
some *pantry, and posseasea some splendid hunters;
-bat Sir Frederick will have a considerable pall in the
weights, and is an accomplished horseman. Should the
-match, which is appointed to "come off" shortly after
•Christmas, really take place, it will cause much excite-
ment among the Nimrods of the day; but these
"aporting " affairs are seldom brought to an ISIS" and
usually "sod in smoke." like the pro -mod match of

sownplainant could not carry his ease further, it mast
a* dismissed, but he could seek redress in the County
Court.— —Ann Gulliver, was charged with unlaw-

House. —Complainant said that be and his companion
had been lodging at the Boot Inn,)ka:st by defendant,
Cr about a month. They had • Mrs. Gulliver

--Defendant said there was a balance due to her for
lodgings.—The Desch aid they could not adjudicate
upon the case, it was one for the County Court to
decide.
