tic Lamb, Chimney Sweep, and Moose were in

shown to tail., and they maiutained their positions with
esemploy Ihnuuss. The demand for Daisy had aPP*-
reedy died our, as there were frequent offers of 100 to 8
against him with only here and there takers to small
amounts. Tes.r.laotan and Alcibiade were also quiet ; but

TAXING THEY Aft THEY ComE.--The Prince of
Wales excites the admiration of the John Bull by his
prosess in the hunting field, where be " tires flve•barred
gates, timber, and walls as they come." But unfortunately
the Prince takes the day. of the week also "as they
come," and this our oontemPorary cannot approve of.
The Duko of Beaufort, it appears, invited 300 ladies and
gentlemen at a lawn meet at Badminton, whereupon the
JoAn Bull cannot refrain from giving expression to the
general feeling of regret that the duke should have se-
lected Ash-Wednesday, of all d►ys in the year, for " the
meet of the season." "It is well known," stye the John
Bull," that the Duke of Beaufort is no Pliseyite ; still, his
Grace might have asked himself why there is service on
Ash-Wednesday in the Chapel Royal, and why on that day
large congregations attend in evangelical churches. What
most the peasantry going to church on the morning of
the Great Lawn Meet —what must the clergy of the neigh-
lbonring country churches have felt when they saw the
nobility and gentry of North Wiltshire, attired in their
best, flocking in crowds, not to Divine service, but to
admire the Prinoe of Wales, `taking five-barred gate.,
timber, and walla as they come, with the Badminton
hounds?"
