HUNTING-.

The Worcestershire hounds have now taken the field, and therm
is every promise of as gond sport being shown as was ever done in
that county. It is a strong proof ut the excellence of the present
management that a pack of fox hounds should be collected to
run SO well together at the commencement of their first season, and
to be so totally tree from riot. (If the excellence of them we need
only mention that they have been drafted from the packs of Sir
T. Mat n, Colonel Berkeley, Mr. Winnington, the Warwick.
shire, and the Hambleslon hounds. The gentlemen of the county
have generally promised to preserve the foxes, with the exception
of one or two, who, it is said, have ordered the foxes to be de-
stroyed. The expenditure at present exceeds the subscription.
We are happy to inform our sporting friends, that that keen
sportsman Captain Jones, of Mamma, intends bringing his fox-
hounds to Hertford on the _lst of next month. This Rauch pack
killed 56 foxes out of 81, last season.—ltcreford Jourual.
Colonel O. Wyndham has removed his hounds from Drove, near
Singleton. to Findon, near Worthing; the former neighbourhood
having been resigned to his brother, Col. H. Wyndham, whose
pack is kennelled as Petworfh.

NEW STEAM Vysses.—Under the superintendence of
the inventor, a steam vessel on an entirely new principle
is building at Bridport Harbour, for which a patent has
recently been obtained ; and the curiosity of our readers
(particularly those of a mechanical or scientific turn of
mind) cannot but be excited, when they arc informed that
this vessel is not to be prorelled by paddle wheels, but by
the retrograde motion of short flaps, which work horrizon-
tally in the sides of the vessel, and are carried by the en-
gine at the rate of twenty-four fret in a second, on a parallel
line with the water. When the flap, or rather fin, has
finishesi its motion, it rises out of the water, returns, dips
again into the eater, and repeats its operation by rushing
through a space of eighteen feet along the side of the vessel.
The engine itself is equally novel, the boiler being dispensed
with, and the steams generated by forcing water into a
double barrel, by the h►at of which it is instantly converted
low steam, having all the advantages of the perpetual
boiler without its incumbrance.

[most OUR CORRESPONDENT. 2
Last night, soon after dark, an outrageous robbery was
committed on two gentlemen, in a hack-road, leadig from
the Old Swan, towards %Velum. The gentlemen were on
horseback; on being accosted by three men, from their
dress apparently Irishmen, the gentlemen instantly. turned
round to return to the Old Swan. when, at a short distance
they were met by six more of the same party no doubt,
who immediately dragged them from their horses, and
robbed them of their money, and a gold watch, &c. from
each. One of the gentlemen hail been to Manchester on
his business, and had the sum of Goa with him, which
the robbers got, and made off with. The money was in hills,
Bank of England notes, country notes, and cosh. Notice
having been sent to our police here, it is hoped something
may lead to the detection of the thieves.
Last night it blew a heavy gale of wind from the North-
ward, and very cold, so mach so, that the mountains in
Wale.; have their heads covered with snow.
The letter bag, and parcel bag, came up last night from
the Meteor. The Captain has put all the Newspaper into
the post-office ; where, of course, the ustal postage will
be charged. The consequenoe is, that very few indeed of
them will be redeemed.
