AQUATICS.
WATTS AND KIPPING.—The great match between these men
from Westminster to Putney with tide will take place this day.
The match has been got up in consequence of the recent defeat of
Watts by Phelps, the Putney man. The stakes are 121. to Kip-
ping 10/. ; but the odds are 2 to 1 in favour of Watts on the aver-
age, and in some instances 3to 1. Kipping . certainly was only a
few seconds astern of his present antagonist in Lyons's match last
year. Watts will row in Mr. Lavton's boat, and Kipping in the
beautiful black boat laid down by illicit for Mr. Colquhoun. The
start will take place at about two o'clock.

MR. HORLOCK'S HOUNDS.—These hounds, so justly celebrated
for their unequalled hunting, met on Wednesday at Lacoek, and
proceeding thence to Lackham, were no sooner thrown into cover
than their matchless music proclaimed the joyous intelligence that
a fox was found. In three minutes the robber of hen-roosts faced
the open, with the entire pack close at his brush, and making direct
for Inn Wood, dashed throu the cover on to Daniel's Wood,
thence to Monk's and Nestoru Park, into Cottle's Wood. When
heading back, he finished his career at the end of w hour and a
quarter, close to Mr. Fuller's lodge gate. The pace for the first
twenty-five- minutes (all the while without check) was literally
tremendous, over a country very stilly fenced, and principaly grass.
The run presented a perfect beau ideal of a Leicester burst, ." sauve
qni pout" was the order of the day, and to hesitate was synonymous
with being lost. A second fox was found in Pitt's Woods, and
killed in five minutes. A third was unkennelled in the same cover,
and went away straight for Box Bottom, but after a good deal of
varied hunting, was eventually lost in the vicinity of Monks.

The Publishers of Southey's " Cowper" have much
cause to be satisfied with the position their work now
holds in public estimation. With every new volume its
reputation has increased, and it is now unquestionably the-
most popular publication of the year. The Court Journal
of Saturday, in the following notice, does but justice to the
merits of this standard edition of one of our most delightful
poets :—" Before the ninth volume of Southey's Cowper'
can make its appearance, let us invite our readers to an ad-
miring examination of the embellishments of the eighth.
They are indeed worthy of all admiration, and the treasures
of Cowper's poetry are, not less indebted to Mr. Harvey, for
doing all that art would admit of to illustrate these lasting
writings, than to Dr. Southey, for the labour, knowledge,
judgment, and poetical sympathy which he has shown
throughout the execution of his editorial task. The cot-
tages at Olney'—' the bobbin weaver' is one of the loveliest
compositions that have appeared, nor will the vignette,
Olney from the poplar field,' suffer in comparison with any.
These are in addition to a delicately-engraved portrait of
Lady Hesketh, a face which cannot be looked at without
interest. There is not, in our judgment, a richer volume
in the language than this, which contains the finest portion
of the poems of Cowper."
Mr. Case, the American Minister, is asserted to
have brought to King Louis Philippe a letter from Gen.
Jackson, disavowing all intention, in the late misunderstand-
ing, to offer any offence to the French Government, either
by his acts or expressions. The same letter is also said to
intimate an intention on the part of the ex-President to visit
France shortly.
SINGULAR VERDICT.--Harriet Legerton, 33, wife
of James Legerton, was indicted- at the Essex adjourned
Sessions for stealing a purse, containing 3s. Gd., from the
person of Robert Gladwin, of Thaxted. Gladwin deposed :
I was drinking at the Sun, at Thaxted, on the 15th of Oc-
tober ; there were several of us in company, and the pri-
soner sat by me. She left about half-past five, and I, miss-
ing my purse, followed her on the road ; she went into a
house, and I missed her, but afterwards met her on her way
home ; I asked for my purse, but she said she had not got
it. The next day I went to her house and asked for it,
when she gave it me empty. Joseph Bateman stated he
was in John Brown's beer-shop, at Great Eiston, which is
about three miles.from the Sun, on the night in question,
and saw the prisoner there between eight and nine o'clock ;
,be pulled a purse out of her bosom. (The purse was here
produced, and identified by Gladwin.) Matthews, the con-
stable, stated that lie went to the prisoner's house on the
Saturday night ; she then denied having the purse, but ac-
knowledged that she had it the next morning, and said she
took the money from him because he was (bunk and she
thought he Might lose it. The prisoner in her defence said
that at the request of Gladwin she went into the Sun to
drink ; that he took her by the arm and contained her there
till six o'clock ; that on her attempting. to go home he fol-
lowed her, pulled her about in a most shameful manner,
and took liberties with her against her will ; that then,
finding she was not willing to go home with him,
he swore
he would lay a trap for her ; she picked up the purse, she
said, off the settle, and made every inquiry to find an owner.
The jury returned a verdict—" We find Harriet Legerton
not guilty ; and.we consider Gladwin as bad as she is, and
the worst of the two::—;ChelmsjOrd Chronicle.
