THI Duce Or HALAKHOrr TN THE HUNTING FIELD.
—An English hunting 111,1 is usually an exciting affair,
but lie seldom theta meet is so piquant and interesting
as that of the Oakley hounds at Wilden, on Thursday.
Captain Arkwright, the master of the hounds, headed
the field, and a very numerons ;ouster of sportsmen and
ladies 'nada the scene one of more than usual gaiety.
Just se the hounds were drawing cover, the Duke of
Manchester mune on the field, accompanied by Marshal
Pollster, Duke of *tick huff, whine martial figure was
encased in a hunting suit, "top" boots, and all the other
details of • complete British accoutrement. The mar'
clod entered with the greatest interest into the sport,
examined everything, talked to everybody, and by his
friendly and affable manners renewed on • peaceful
field that cordiality which long before he bad established
in the field of arias and bloodshed. A large assemblage
of farmers and rustics had gathered together, who
viewed the scene with unmitigated delight. Presently •
phaeton dashed up to the throng, driven by the young
Duchess of Manchester, at whose side sat the interesting
and beautiful bride of the marshal, the Duchess of
Malakhoff. The one fair and northern in her beauty,
the other with all the dark grass and spirit of the south,
formed • piquant contrast. The hound' soon found,
and the fox, 11.11, in duty bound on suety an occasion,
eomplsoently allowed itself to be killed near the
phaeton. Captain Arkwright gallantly presented the
brush to the Duaheia of Malakhoff. In the evening •
party assenibled at Kimbolton Castle to meet the mar-
shal and his bride. On Sunday both the illustrious
foreigners attended Divine serviee at Kimbolton
The duchess, who understands English, listened with
great attention, as also did the duke.

the prisoners at mice to Bishop Burton, in order that
Barrow might, if he were able to do so, identify them
before lie died. Yolioe-constable Johnson accompanied
him with the two prisoners, and they proceeded by the
4.15 train from Hull to Beverley. The nets, bags,
hares, and one of the dogs, were also forwarded, a. well
as some guns, whieli have been traced to the pomeadon
of the prisoners. It is stated thst oonsiderable ill-feeling
had been provoked by Jacquieu having shot the dogs of

A SITISTERY UNEInLVICD.— About eight years alone
the whole county of Sussex was in • state of ferment at
the "apposed murder of Mr. Griffith, of the Rook
Brewery, Brighton. The circuinstanees under which
this gentleman came to his death were enveloped in
great mystery—a mystery which has not beer, kolved
to this day. It will be recollected that he was return-
ing home from Horsham, and had called at Hetilield in
the way of businesa to receive money and orders. On
the high road at Newtimber (near the Devil's Dyke) he
VMS found dead, having been idiot through the heart.
The horse and gig with which he WAS travelling were
found at coins distance away, the reins were out, one
step of the gig was bent, and from the disordered state in
which everything was left it was 'linefeed that Mr.
Griffith (who was • powerful man) had been attacked
by robbers, and that a severe otruggle had ensued, in
which the unfortunate gentlemen had been assassinated.
He was known to have had a considerable quantity of
money on him at the thee, and also a watch ; but when
his body was discovered both money and watch were
gone. The latter had been attached to a chain, and
portion. of this chain were left on the neck ; and the
inference wee that great violence had been used in
effecting the separation. This watch was found on
Monday week in the mud of a pond at Nutknowl, by a
lean who wee " muddling.'."Che pond is clue to the
turnpike•road along which Mr. Griffith passed on the
night of the murder, and about three miles distant from
the spot where his body was disooverd, The watch wee
gold one, and the dial plate and hands are quite
destroyed, but it is Identified by the remaining portion
of the chain, which was hanging to It. The discovery
of the watch does not In any way serve to elucidate
the mystery which still enshrouds this singular
murder.
