PARTRIDGE HOOTING MATCH.

A spertieg match at partridges took plate on Monday fu
100 guineas aside, between Capt•ia Smithson, of Churki
Berks. and • gentleman of the name of Matthiwire, (run
Hertfotdshire. both considered as good shot• u any .-
England. It was agreed that the match should take Ow
over • ground unknown to the patties, not to exceed our
thousand acres, sad Iwo markers were allowed for elch.
They commenced on the Upton Moor manor, Burks, by con.
swat of the owner, Barnard Francis, Esq. They set,
allowed to shoot op foot with •single brace of pointeis fns
day break until twelve o'clock. Roth fell in among-it yleni
of game of all sorts, and the wetness of the ground trs
cooling to the feet of the dogs, and highly favourable to
their scent., At one o'clock the parties arrived at the UMW-
house with the produce of their sports, each fancying from
their great success they had woo. Mr. Mattbitioss had
tweoly-six shots, four of which killed doable, and the pro.
duce was twelve and • half brace of birds. Capt. Smith•os
had twenty three shots, and doubled fire times, and pro.
dated eleven brace, losing by three birds. It was consi-
dered excellent shooting, but Iht coveys were numerous, and
bad bees but little disturbed.

MISS SMITHSON made her first appearance at the
Gloucester theatre on Mondry night in the chant•
ter of Donna Violanfr, in The Wader.
