A GRAND LEAPING MATCH

Took place yesterday morning, between Daniel Gosling, Esq.
of Cambtidge, and Mr. J. Osborn, of Upper Montague-street,
Montagu square, in his Commission-yard, which was decided
greatly in favour of the latter. Mr. J. Osborne was mounted
on his chesnut clips horse Lapwing, and D. Gosling, Esq. on
his favourite bay horse Tallio. The chesnut horse, Lapwing,
jumped six inches higher than Tallio. The match was for 100
sovereigns.

Monday his Majesty's staghounds met at the Golden Ball
near Bracknell, where a deer was turned out, and after an hour
and three-quarters swift running, was taken near Beaconsfield.

DRATH OF DR. LINDSAY, BISHOP OF K I I.DAItE.
On Thursday last, we regret to announce, this venerable Pre-
late paid the debt of nature, at his Lordship's Episcopal resi-
dence, Glasnevin. His Lordship was consecrated in 1804. He
was the brother of the Scotch Earl of BALCARRAS, and brotier-
in,law to the Earl of HAILDWICKE. was Dean of Christ
Church, and was translated from the See of Killulbe, to which
he had been elevated in 1803.—( Dublin Even. Post. )

Miss FOOTS, as we have mentioned, is soon to
resume her station at Covent-Garden, for the
completion of her former engagement, not, as
stated, on a new one. We do not believe that
Letitia Hardy, in The Belle's Stratagem, is to
be her first character, as it requires a degree of
ease and sprightliness by no means analogous to
what must naturally be the state of her feelings,
after all that has been promulgated. At all
events, she is sure of the liberal sympathy and
protection of a British audience.
OussTus is the name of a new Tragedy
forthcoming at Covent-Garden Theatre, of the
success of which the Managers entertain san-
guine hopes. Mr. C. K EMBLE and Mrs. BART-
LEY are to sustain the chief characters.

Th. fine Tragedy of The Fatal Dowry is de-
ferred on account of the sudden and alarming
indisposition of Mr. MActlEAny. He was better
last night, but it is deemed necessary that he
should try n change of air, and he is not likely
to be permitted by his medical advisers to return
to his professional duties for at least six weeks.
We hear that that able Judge and excellent
man, Lord G LENLEE, has some intention of resign-
ing his situation as one of the Lords of the Session.
Lord GLENLEE is now at an advanced period of
life, and has discharged the duties of his high of-
fice in a manner that will make his resignation a
subject of regret of the whole country..---(Glos-
gaze Free Press.)
The Devonshire General Committee of Noble-
men and Gentlemen, for the Relief of the Suf-
ferers by the late storms on their coast, have lion-
mired their countryman, the composer of the mu-
sic of St. George and the Dragon, by accepting
his handsome gratuitous offer of a thousand co-
pies on behalf of that benevolent Fund.
The LATE MURDER AT Witannost.—On Mon-
day evening last, a Gentleman arrived in Lon-
don, after passing through Aylesbury, and wait-
ed on Lynn's mother. his business in town was
principally far the purpose of consulting Hogg's
friends respecting his interment ; he had left
Buckinghamshire before Hogg's brothers (who
are twins) arrived, and in fact he was not aware
they had left London. Lynn, we are informed,
labours under a temporary delirium ; but he is in
a more tranquil state than on Sunday. He con-
tinually, on Sunday night and Monday morning,
called for his mother, and seemed anxious to
see her. On this being communicated to her,
she expedited her departure from London some
hours.

AWFUL INSTANCE OT SUDDEN DEATlL—Yes-
terday morning, a lady named ROBINSON, resid-
ing in Tottenham-Court-road, was found a corpse
in her apartment. She had the night previously
passed the evening in good spirits, and, on part-
ing with her friends, bid them " Good night,"
and appeared as usual in her health, and in the
morning not making her appearance at her pro-
per time, some fear was entertained, and on in-
quiry she was discovered a lifeless corpse. The
body lies for the Itiqum.
