The following singular circumstance occurred in a Coursing
Match near Ramsgate last Wednesday :—After an unusually
protracted run, poor puss laid herself on the ground, in the
open field, with the dogs within 20 paces ; so completely were
they also exhausted, that their prey remained unmolested till
the sportsmen. came up.

On Friday se'nnight, during • a fox chace through Seller's
Park Farm, Halinaker, Sussex, Colonel Wyndham met with
a violent fall, in consequence of his horse stepping into a post-
hole when at full spoed,• by which the Colonel remained in-
sensible for five minutes : a young medical-Gentleman who
witnessed the accident, opened a vein and restored the Colonel
to animation.

Amidst the many improvements with which
our country abounds, the very inconvenient mode of crossing
the river Leven, between the village of that name and Inver-
leven, has been matter of long and just complaint. With the
view of rendering the communication safe, and at all times
regular, a few individuals sometime ago took measure to
bring the matter into public notice, and proposed the erec-
tion of a bridge. The plan met with general approbation,
and the concurrence of the proprietors on both sides of the river
being obtained, an adequate sum for the erection, raised by
subscription, and other preparatory arrangements, being com-
pleted, the foundation stone of the first abutment was laid
on the same day on which his Majesty arrived in the
Forth, and the other on the same day as that of the Na-
tional Monument of Scotland. A chain bridge, 120 feet span
was finished a few days ago, which combines strength with neat-
ness, and does great credit to the undertaker, Mr. Dunbar of
Largo. In consequence of the completion of this erection, in
which ornament and utility meet, the committee of manage-
ment, on Tuesday the Bth instant, dined together with a
number of respectable friends, in Annan's Inverleven,—
Mr. A. Walker, Preses of the Committee, in the Chair, and
Mr. John Black, croupier. The utmost cordiality and good
humour pervaded the whole. A number of appropriate toasts
were drank, excellent songs were sung, and such a degree of
conviviality prevailed, as shewed the satisfaction felt by all pre-
sent.—( Glasgow Courier.)
'On Sunday evening, while the respective
families were at chapel, two houses in Gornmo's-row, Ham-
mersmith, were entered and robbed of property to a great
amount. Thd houses arc in the public road between Hammer-
smith and Acton, andwhich makes the attempt at robbery more
audacious, and more especially as it was a clear moonlight
night. One house belongs to Mr. Marchmont, who has retired
from businesss ; the other to Mrs. llandsley, who also lives on

houses in question were only robbed. - They were entered by
the front doors • the locks having been picked. The robbers
proceeded deliberately, and ransacked every part of the house.
six-
teen sovereigns, from Mr. Marchmont's, and plate and
other articles, from Mrs. Handsley's. On departing they
Pulled the doors after them, and the families found them
fastened merely by the spring-latchel on their return
from Chapel. Nothing has transpired to lead to a dis.
tinct suspicion of the robbers, though many reasons
strengthen the belief that they are no strangers to
the habits and movements of the families. In the early part
of the evening two men were observed lurking about the doors,
but at the time they attracted no particular attention. The
thieves escaped with their booty. It is to'be hoped that these
daring-robberies, and the publicity given to them, will operate
as an effective caution to families not to leave their houses,
especially on Sunday evenings, during the time of chapel ser-
vice, without somebody to take care of them. That is the time,
particularly in the environs of London house-robbers are par-
ticularly, and but too often successfully, active. These rob-
beries have created so much bustle in Hammersmith that the
parish authorities are seriously on-the alert.
