upon the for Ilavitig libelled Mr. Nor-
Man, a Magistrate; at Melton Mocebray, in tei-_•eS-,
tershire. Adisagreement arose between the Defend-
ant and his servant, cenceruhig the sale of some:
cattle at a fair; upon which, at parting,• the servant
summoned his master before this:MaottJte, who,
upon hearing the matter, ordered the Defendant to
pay the man 31. 1 ss. led. for wages due to him; and
the calculation- of the sum due was only 2s. -6d.
more than what the-Defendant himself adMifted it
to be; bin conceiving that he was •not treated with
the respect to whiCh he felt himself entitled, he chose'
to impute to the:MagtStrate the error of prejudging
this matter, of being liartial, and of using, language
which he could only 'use under the protection of his
own lionse; •and asSuring. the Magistrate, that al-
though he, the Defendant, then wore a black coat
as a Clergyman. he could put on a blue one,
'Then, putting these sentiments mro the font of a
letter, he sent it to Mr. Nornian, far which he•pro.:
secuted the Defendant, saying he was not in the ha-
bit of putting up with such language, upon which
the case was tried at the last Assizes for the County
of Leicester, before Mr. Baron THOMPSON, when
the Defendant was found guilty. Now he came up
to receive the'judginerit-of the Court. •
It appeared by affidavit, that he was Chaplain to
his Royal Highness the late Duke of Gloucester,
and that he'resides upon hi living in Leicestershire;
that he was a zealous friend to the Established
Church, &c.

Mr. GA It RO W being about to address the Ccurt for
the Defendant, -
Lord ELLENTBOROUGH observed, that from the
circumstances of the case, there appeared, from the
moderation and apparent mildnesi of the erosecutor,
every probability that the Detenda-. might set him-
self right by submission to his Prosecutor; and 'so
,there might he an end of matters between them.
The Defendant having consulted with 'Mr. GAR-
ROW, Mr. CLARKE, and others; his Learned Counsel,
for a while,
Lord ELLENBOROUGH Observed, that'the'snbmiS'-
sion, if it were made at all, was likely to tome with
a reluctance that would abate its value, and therefore
Counsel might as well • proceed--,the Defendant un-•
derstanding that the hint of the Court was thrown
omit for his- benefit.

Mr. GARitow, Mr. CLARKE, and Mr. Tomxts
spoke for the Defendant; Mr. Serjeant VAtiGHAN,
Mr. DARREL, and Mr. BRAmPTorir, spoke very ably
for the Prosecution. Atter which the Defendant
was committed to the King's Bench Prison, and or-
dered to be brought up thiS. day se'nnight, to receive
the judgment of the Court.

run.

. Tuesday, the first coursing day, was still more unfavour.
able as to the weather, which was extremely tempestuous,
and rained nearly the whole time of the different courses.
About r 5 matches were run up, with various success to the
owners of the greyhounds.
Mr. Mellish; whose absence was much regretted, forfeited
someinatches tOr plate to Itlajor "Popham.
Ihe hares, from the wetness; of the day, ran uncommonly
and therefore gave no opportunities on this day
.for the
clogs to di,tingitish themselves.

A very' large fwld of sportsmen were assembled, and much

Snowdrop, who won the Cup in February last, again won

one of the last dei;caulants of Old Snowball. The hare
killed.

Mr, Lowther beat Major Topham by one in five matches ;
during the morning 23 matches, were run ; but the amuse-
n.ent of the day was untortuuately interrupted by Sir' Thos.
Slingsby, a gentleman universally esteemed, having his leg
broken by a kick from a vicious stallion, as he was, passing it.
He was taken to a tarm-house of Lord Nlicidleton's, atWhar-
ram, where he received the niost unceasing attention.' ,Mr. -
TreaCher galloped from the. ground to York, to bring Mr.
Atkinson, the surgeon, to his assistance.

On WeJnesday afternoon, as Lieutenant Arthur,
of the 84th fo stationed at Hull, was riding down
Saville-street, on a young spirited horse, the wind
being strong blew off his hat. In attempting to
catch it, his horse took fright, .gallopped furiously
away with him along St. John's-street, Whitefriar-
gate, Silver-street, and Scale-lane,. Mr. Biakey,
of Blackfria,--gate, flax-dresser, was just coming
from the river side, when he saw the horse gal-
lopping along Scale-lane, and heard the speltators
calling out to the Gentleman to throw himself off,
or he was a dead man. In this critical conjuncture;
Mr. Blakey placed himself in a proper position,
and on the horse- coming opposite to him,' fortunate-
ly succeeded in snatching hold of the bridle, and
being a strong wan brought the animal round,. and
thus preserved Lientenailt Arthur from the dreadful
fate which he must .otherwise have experienced.—,
The horse had got within about 15 yards of the Old
Harbour, and the tide being out, a vessel was laid
directly off the
_staitb end, with her bowsprit, to-
wards it, so that, had the animal proceeded a little
further, both he and the rider must ineivitably have
been dashed to pieces.
A remarkable instance of the effe6ts, of fear on
animals lately occurred in Blickling Park, Norwich,
during the races there.:-.-At the very height of the
sport, a covey of partridges sprang up, and were fly-
across the ground, when, overcome with alarm
at the noise and linstie of the scene,- they fell lifeless
among the crowded throng, and were picked
,up by
some of the spectators.

Of so interesting a description is the great and
novel gift of a thousand Tickets in the present LOt-
tery Scheme, that clubs of adventurers are now
forming, more than ever, in all parts of the town.
They seem in general to. prefer the purchase of
quarter Shares of Tickets ; and what an acquisition
would it be to any club, in town or country, to ob-
tain a thousand other quarters, with their. whole
produce, exclusive of money Prizes--and this too
without any additional cost on their stakes of ad-
%'enture
