THAI CHASE.

Mr. Hesell's fox hounds, yesterday se'unight, afford-
ed a prime day's spurt to a numerous as►emblage of
gentlerneo. A real yellow bag fox was turned out at
twelve o'clock near Broadfield House. Old fleynard
directed his course across the river Priterial, and over
Lillie Berrock, through Newhiggis woods, past Carlton
bill, towards the river Eden, through the enclosures
near Wetheral Itcynaril look the river a little above Corby
Castle, and here he east °lf must of the horsemen : for
a choice few only followed by going over Warwick.bridge,
which was near five milea round. He then directed hi■
course through Corby woods to the mountains, which he was
making as fast as he could, and would most probably have
succeeded bad he not been slopped in the village of Castle
Garrick, by a few nor dugs, and by them must ignomiously
killed, just preceding the bounds in fell chase with increased
mialiere, as the Carlisle harriers had just previously joined
Item. Of all the sportsmen who at first started with the
Mewls only Mr. Blataire, of D.lstoa, and a geetteman
from Welber'', were in at the death, out of near forty
lieceesseu.

EXTRAORDINARY FOX CHASE.

The following account may gratify such of our readers
as are addicted to Geld spoils:—Ois Thursday week the
hounds of Mr. John Peel, of Caldheek, took "drag" of
a fox at Rigland's. The animals strove him to Dentonside,
when he broke away in the Gest style, for several miles over
hill and dale, amidst the tally hit's of a great number of
footmen, for, from the slippery slate of the roads, um horse
runlet attend. From some unexpected occur eeeee only fire
couple of dogs were laid on, but they did their part glu-
rionsly, and the "welkin resounded" with their music.
Replan, made for Newland', but being sorely pressed, he
fared his pursuers three limes.
At this period there was a fine view; the fox extricated
himself for the moment by striking the leading dog, when
bulb animals were precipitates! down a precipice. This oc-
currence gave Reynard the start, but his advantage was
small ; fur if the one was resolute, the others were deficient
in neither courage nor bottom. The park closely followed
at his brush by bebergbain bridge—llsesice to Hewer-bill,
where be was again headed. Being *boa foiled, he was fol-
lowed past Sowerby-row, Thistlenood, Highthwaite Castle,
over Beacon-bill, and to Blackwalt-wood, where a fowler
twice ingloriously snapped at him, but happily fur the legi-
timate sportsman, without effect.
From Blackwell-wood, the chase proceeded loCummers-
dale, the followers and dogs all unhesitatingly crossing the
Caldew rivulel—Thence to Skiprigg, where, to a thusough.
bred sportsman the scene was transpurtiag. The enlivening
meek of "Tallyho!" was continued for fully half an hoar ;
and here three fresh dogs were laid on, most of the others,
from the severity and continuity of the pursuit, having be-
staisseexhatested. The wily 'ilium' still exhibited much game :
he made fur Hesket-dale, Thruslle.hsll, Parson-park, ever
Warnell-fell to Nine•gills, and therefrom to Westward-parks.
From Ibis latter place he was driven with a fine view, aid
iw "grand style," to Mosley, and Jenkiu.cross, near Wigton.
It was sow growing dark, and Reyasnd yet appeared far
from being subdued; but these eireetnallauces did not stop
the chase, for two lardy suns of Cumbria, spite of night
having spread her sable garment, 111111 keeping close by the
does (on foot all the way!!) carried him to Rlemehouse-
Mill, at which place he crossed the Wampool at 10 gnomes
past six o'clock in the evening. As the rporlsnieu had but
three dogs left unknocked up at this time, these very ex.
boosted, end themselves Nearly knocked op, they were com-
pelled to desist, after a chase of lea hours and forty inisisles,
during the greeter part of which time it was pursued amidst
asomitains and broken ground.—This circumstance a Mil dr
another proof or the hardihood of the Cumberland ye ~,,, alley
and peasantry, which they have repeatedly eviticsd both at
home and abroad, but owe conspicuously than un the
occasion we have narrated. We are sorry to aulissiu, that
• veteran sportsman bad the nosfortnne to bare his leg
broken soon after the hunt commenced: but this accident,
severe as it was, did not grieve the spirited fellow so much
k as it urgualiGed him from joining in so in. a chase.
