HUNTING Now-A-DAYS.---Railways have revolution-
ised fox-hunting as well as other things. Who ever
thought of London becoming the head-quarters of the
chase, and of country quarters being merely supplemen-
tary ones ? Yet so it is ; and great runs are known in
Pall-Mall and St. James's-street almost as soon as they
are in the counties where they take place. Cockney sports-
men are become extinct, and we have Quormtes, and
Pytchleyites, and Atherstoneites instead. Convenient as
this doubtless is to those whose avocations lie in town,
we doubt its beneficial influence on hunting. It draws
sportsmen into too small a compass, pours all sorts of
irresponsible parties upon hOnts within the influence of
direct railways, any one of whom can mar the sport or
enjoyment of a whole field. And if we look who it is that
generally do mischief, we shall find in nine cases out of ten,
it is some aspiring stranger seeking to "beat" the men
of the hunt, or some horse-dealing rough-rider wanting
to show off his horse to what he thinks advantage.
These are the men who will never pull up. If the great
Mr. Meynell could arise from his grave and see the fly-
ing train hissing past his quiet residence at Quorn, or
disgorging its motley contents at the Barrow or Syston
station, how he would hug himself that he lived in days
when men came out to see a pack of hounds hunt a fox,
and not to "cut each other down, and hang 'em up to
dry," as the saying is.
AN ACT WORTHY OF IMITATION.—The Earl Manvers
haff just made a return to his tenants at Fledborough,
who have all suffered so severely from the late floods, of
the whole of the half year's rent which was paid by
them at his late audit in December. This was done with-
out any solicitation whatever on their part, and has been
received in the most grateful manner z it fully proves the
generosity and benevolence of this excellent nobleman.

PLEASURES OF THE TROPIOS.—On Wednesday morn-
ing last the bar-keeper of the Pavilion Hotel, Taboga,
not appearing at the usual hour, Captain M'Kinney, the
proprietor of the house, proceeded to his room to call
him, when, to his astonishment and horror, he found
him insensible and bathed in blood. After the usual
restoratives were applied, the bar-keeper stated that on
the previous evening, after retiring, he remembered ex-
periencing the most delightful sensations, as of fanning,
which soon put him into a deep sleep, and he had no con-
sciousness of the attack made upon him until the morn-
ing. The only wounds by the bat were two small spots
on each of the great toes, from which it is calculated the
man must have lost at least half a gallon of blood. Ho
is at present so weak as to be unable, for a short time, to
attend to his usual business.—Panama Star.
GLASGOW SOCIAL STATISTIOS.—The annual report of
Dr. Strang, city chamberlain, on the mortality bills of
the city of Glasgow, for 1852, states the real figure of
mortality in that city in proportion to the living, to be as
Ito 34.8. The cost of maintaining the poor in the four
parishes of Glasgow, which, in 1848-9, was 105,266/.,
was only 78,7331. in 1850-I—the return for last year not
being complete. The bankrupties connected with Glas-
gow have decreased by 20, compared with the year 1851.
MONSTROSITY.—OR Monday week, a child was born

in Perth with' two heads. E;;ch head was attached by
the back parts, the countenances looking in opposite
directions ; but that presenting itself from the back part
of the body had no eyes or mouth. Slight purple or
pinkish coloured seams only indicated that these organs
were there. The other head was perfect. The child
lived till Thursday evening, and was buried on Friday.—
