EARL OF DERBY'S HUNT.--The Earl of DERAy
'turned out a deeryesterday at. Caterhatn Common,
and not at Wallingham, as was expe:qed. the darer
went off at eleven o'clock, and took.a.direCtion for
Chaldon Court; he then headed and returned to the
spot from whence he started, to the great surprise
of- those Gentlemen Who, frOm the change of

ground, had not arrived until 20 minutes after the
hounds were laid on, and who then joined in the
chase. . After a run of an hoar and 2-s'minutes, the
deer was taken in a pond, at Culdson : it was near'
an hour before the:poor animal could be got out of
the. water, which was at last effected by tying a
cart-rope.to the end of a pole.
One day last week a fine fox Was unkennelled.in
Clapham Woods, by the BrOadwater hounds, that,

affolded a capital hunt to a large field of sportsmen.
After many hours .hard running reynard, favoured by
the approach of evening, escaped his pursuers by
taking refuge in a holt at, Salvington. •
Mr. LONG, W1)0 died last week at Bath,, was the
'Gentleman whom FOOTE introduced in the charader •
of Mr. Flint, in ,his facetious Comedy of the Maid
of Bath. He died worth more than two hundred
,thousand pounds, the bulk of which he has left to
Miss LONG, the only daughter,of Sir JAMES TILNF,Y
LONG, just entered her 17th year, and who, before
this uueipeded windfall, was the richest 'heiress in
the British dominions.
',The following remarkable instance of courage ana
presence of mind in two females deserves to be re-
corded.—A few days ago a Gentleman's family near
Durham had occasion to go from home,leavitig the
house to the care of a femaleservant, who; for the
sake of company, sent for her sister at a -small dis-
tance to stay':with her during the, -night. They
chatted, away the Mile till past twelve o'clock, when
they heard a rustling about the windows, and Fre-
sently the arm-of a man appeared through' one of
the panes, with the intention, no doubt, of throwing
back the bolt of the &ion The girl of the house itti
mediately recollec-ting the situation of her master's
fowling-pieces, and that they were then loaded, took
the resolution of arming "herself and sister in the de-
fence of her master's -property, atid probably their
own existenee:. This was done accordingly, and
having 'both ascended to a window Which corn-
manded theentrance to the door, they were assailed',
with horrid imprecations by Iwo men, who demand-
ed to be instantly admitted. The demand was an-
swered by the intrepid heroines with'a discharge of
their pieces,. which, -though they had not the etre&
the villains so richly merited, gave the-alarm to'some
persons passing that-way. Thettibbers, on finding
theniselVes likely tb 'betaken, ran• off, to the great
joy of the two valiant sisters, who will doubtless be
rewarded for their gallant • and meritorious Condita
in a moment of such imminent peril.
Mr. comber, a butcher at Lindfield, had for sorm,
time been troubled by an unwelcome intruder in big'
premises, which indiscriminately mutilated and de-
stroyed his property, and gave him some little unea-•
siness. The 'intruder' Was- nothing less than an.
enormous rat, and which Mr. C...a,tew days ago for-
tunately succeeded in ferretting from his hole, and
de;troying:- Behind.some wood, which, in the pro-'
cess of destroying the Mischievous animal was re:..
moved; liiere''folihd nearly six 'gallons of potatoes;
and aolaro- ez e.quantity of loose suet,:c. which the rat
had collected for its support from various parts of the
building. • • • %, •
