LYNDHURST RACES,

On Friday last, afforded their usual abundance
of forest sports. Several races of ponies, and half
bred hi-rses, were run ; and also a match between
two horses belonging to Officers of the German
Legion. which was sharply contested. But the
crack diversion of the day was the race by li.unp-
shire Bullacks (with the tips of their horns gilt), in
which three stetted to run heats round the Two mile
Course. 'I he first mile they trotted nimbly, and h-
last they galloped dexterously, to the astonishment of
the speaators; but just as the two first were coming
up to the stand neck and neck, the leading bullock
bolted through the rope, and the second fol-
lowing him down into a marshy bottom of the
course, they both kicked up, and dismounted their
respeftive riders, to the high diversion of the whole
ground ; and, in consequence, the third bullock,
that was nearly distanced, won the heat. On start-
ing again, the superiority of Mr. Rose's celebrated
racing ox. which won last year, was shewn by dis-
tancing his competitors. The Duchess of 801..
TON'S, Mr. Ross's, Mr. CULIALN SMITII'S, and
most of the other families of the neighbourhood,
were in carriages upon the ground.

President Baron Hoy al is the youngest of five
brothers, and salt of Baron Hov ta, late Minister of
State to the "hike of Baosswicx, and is considered
one of the first jurisconstilts in Germany. His sister,
an amiable and Accomp ;shed lady, is married to an
English gentleman, Mr. Damar, who Ludy held a
place in -India.

, land, with the blank filled up. Only oat eledion
1 has hit serto taken place, that on the death of the late
Lord ROSSIICRIC ; the candidates were Viscounts
CII•11 LEV ILIA and Du .Loa. The former Peer
was eleded by a very great majority of votes.
The French privateer, Bonaparte., has, after an
engagement of tour hours, captured the English
ship Koltesill, from Liverpool, of 570 tons, 22 nine-
pounders, and 36 men. The English captain was
killed in the engagement.
