Robert Pigot, Esq, Vice-President ; and Rowland Hill, Esq. Sc.
cretary. The company was numerous and splendid.
A CATITAL CUASE.—BRIGULTOW, Jaw. 13.-.-0 a Friday an
extraordinary fine pack of harriers, secondary perhaps, to none In
the kingdom, were again in theemornent of mime capital, we au
say surprising sport. They threw off at the Devil's Dyke to a .
lane field of about seventy equestrians ; and prime and brilliiiaasooot
was the show in horseflesh. Two good runs had ended in well.de-
served victory, when a third hare war started near to Seddleseembe,
which took a circuitous rout, of which lllatehington and Angleton
wa.4 pretty nearly the centre. The Dyke was next reached at a tre-
mendous pace, and puss was unsquatted near the bottom of the
frightful hill. tip this steep the hare took, the dogs in rapid pur.
suit, and the view from the opposite down, where nearly the &gm-
gate of the field had congregated, was indescribably beautiful -sad I
interesting. From the Dyke the next hill was crossed, and down
the Poynings, as a neck-or-nothing rate, where, turning to the
right, Newtimber was passed on the left, and another deviation in
course brought puss bark to where she had been originally disturb-
ed, not far from Seddlesoombe. Here, being hard pressed, she
sprung
earNorth-heath and reached it, and cheese rased by
sad Standean towards Ditchling, where she diverged to
the left, and made for Steamer Park. The horses, generally by
this time, were much distressed—in truth, the greater part of them
were beaten out-and-out. One, a tine creature, rode, we believe,
by Mr. Louseda, it is supposed, burst his heart, and fell dead un-
der the rider. Leaving the Park by the zunthera angle, the hare I
made for Plimpton, and thence on to liaulnier and the Lewes'
Race Course, at which latter place the dogs, in capital style, ran I
in ti: her and terminated the oriatlict, nine miles from Seddles- I
combe, and after, it is computed, crossing twenty miles of
ground in one hour and three-quarters. The chase was without a
check from the onset to the close. -

EXTRAORDINARY CASS.—A singular and interesting
case lately occurred at Cherwell Magna, in this county. Eleven
weeks since, a youth, ten years of age, the son of Mr. Fox, of the
Bell Inn itie that village. was attacked with fever and inflammation
of the inn*. After the inflammatory symptoms had subsided, there
was evert reason to fear phthisis pulmonaris (consumption) was ra-
pidly advancing. About ten days ago a tumour was observed to be
forming between the third and fourth ribs on the left side, anti on
Sunday last it was (leaned proper by the surgeon attending him
(Mr. Chiron!), to open it, when passing a lancet into the part, a
hard substance impeded the instrument, which, when extracted,
proved to be a stone, weighing half a drachm ; forty ounces of pu.
rulent matter were taken away at the same time. haring.bcen lona.
