HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Surrey Fox-hounds will commence the Hunting Sea-
son on Monday next, when they will meet at Worms Heath,
at half-past ten.
PEDESTRIANISM.

The match to Maidenhead induced another adventurer to try
another pedestrian feat to Shonfield, a mile from Reading,
thirty-nine miles in sir hours. The pedestrian started from
Hyde Park at one o'clock, yesterday morning, for 200 guineas
of his own money. He is an Officer in the Army, and the
event was a failure. He did seven miles in the first hour, and
more than nineteen in three hours, when he began to tire, and
laid down for twenty minutes. He reached the 33d mile in six
hours and a half, and•was unable to proceed from lameness.

THE THEATRE.—In consequence of the re-
cent death of Mrs. TWISS, the sister of Mr.
CHARLES KEMBLE, the tragedy of ✓enice Pre-
served, in which he was to have performed the
part of Jalier last night, at Covent-Garden
Theatre, was postponed, and the comedy of
The Clandestine Marriage was substituted. The
comedy was altogether so well supported as to
deserve a more numerous audience than at-
tended it.

Mr. RICHARD MARTIN, M. P. for Gal wayshire,
who has rendered himself so popular by his bill
for preventing cruelty to animals, as well as for
enforcing its salutary enactments, sailed from
Liverpool for Dublin last week, in the steam-
packet.
Mrs. BONN, who has lately gained such popu-
larity by her performance of Queen Elizabeth, in
the new play of Kenilworth, is shortly to make
her appearance in that character at Liverpool.
Sir ASTLEY COOPER commenced his course of
Surgical Lectures yesterday, at the Theatre of
St. Thomas's Hospital, to a numerous class. He
prefaced his instructions on the technical part of
the subject, with some very just and forcible re-
marks, addressed to the young men, who com-
pose the great majority of his hearers, on the ne-
cessity of diligence and application, and of
economy of time and money. He observed, that
he remembered the time when he had wanted a
shilling, more, perhaps, than any one whom he then
addressed.—Sir A. COOPER is supposed to be in the
receipt of a larger income from his profession
than any professional man of any description in
Europe.—On Tuesday Mr. ABERNETHY began
his course of Lectures. The Governors of St.
Bartholomew's Hospital have prepared for him
an enlarged and commodious, Class-room, upon
an excellent plan ; the seats are elevated so that
every Student can see well, and at the nearest
possible distance. A desk-board to each seat,
like Professor Hope's, in Edinburgh, will be an
additional improvement. ,
ANECDOTE. —A young woman meeting a
Learned Doctor, in the square of a certain town,
asked him where she might find a shopkeeper
whom she wanted. The Doctor gave the fol-
lowing direction :—" Move your pedestrian digits
along the diagonal of this rectangle, in a line
perpendicular to the earth's equator, till you
arrive at the junction of the two sides. Diverge
then to the left, at right angles—Perge for about
fifty paces in that quadrangle, and you will have
ocular demonstration of him, standing in an
orifice made in an edifice for the purpose of illu-
mination."
