REINIARKABLE CAPTURE OF A lIARE.

On Wednesday morning last, a hare was started from a field
opposite the Malmesbury's Arms Inn, in Fisherton Anger,
by Mr. BLAKE, which made its way from thence into an ad-
joining garden, and into a wood-house; from thence it re-
turned through another garden, crossed the turnpike-road, and
entered the kitchen of the Maltnesbury Arms, where it took re-
fuge under the. grate, until a hot cinder fell upon its back, when
a young man, who happened to be present ( William Uphill, son
of a keeper at Hemerton), took her in his arms, carried her into
the highway, and gave her liberty.—(Salisbury Journal.)

Yesterday the Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, Alder-
men, and other City Authorities, attended St. Lawrence's
Church. At the conclusion of divine service they proceeded
to the hustings, Guildhall, where the Lord Mayor was sworn
into office for the present year. In the evening the whole party
partook of a farewell dinner at the Mansion-house, with the
late Lord Mayor.

The French Papers of Sunday contain the
trial of Bonneau, a sergeant of Voltiguers, for
the murder of Declemy, the leader of the music
band of his regiment, before the first Council
of War. nonneau had attacked Declemy in
his bed, on the '2lst of October, and assassi-
nated him by piercing him with ten mortal
blows of a dagger. The assassin was immediately
pursued, and having barricaded himself, refused to
surrender, saying," I have killed Declemy—f have
committed a crime, but I have defended my ho-
hour." lie allowed that the quarrel had existed for
a month, and that it arose from a dispute about a
female. When imprisoned in the Abbate, Bon-
nean attempted to commit suicide. Ills wounds
were, however, not mortal ; and he was on Sa-
turday brought to trial, and condemned to suffer
capital punishment.

WARDS OF COURT.—JUDGMENT.
MOOItE V. MOORE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR this day gave judg-
ment in this cause, which has excited so much in-
terest in the Fashionable World. It was a ques-
tion whether the care of the infants should be
taken out of the power of their lawful father,
Col. Fitzgibbon, as alleged, being the real fathef
of the younger one. The case came before his
Lordship on a petition in behalf of the children,
praying that the money left them by the Colonel
might be invested in the Court in their cremes,.
and that Mr. Moore should not have any controul
over it. His Lordship dismissed the petition.

THE KING, &c.

WINDSOR, Nov. B.—Yesterday afternoon his MAJESTY
left the Royal Lodge, accompanied by the Lord Steward,
shortly after two o'clock, and passed by Cumberland Lodge for
Virginia Water, on the margin of which place there is now
erecting a Chinese building, called the " Fishing Temple,"

and the centre will be fitted up for the convenience of taking
refreshments during his Majesty's summer recreations there.
This building, with other improvements 'slaking at Virginia
Water, occupy a great portion of his Majesty's time when ab-
sent from the Lodge.—This being the Birth-day of her Royal
Highness the Princess Augusta, the bells of St. George's Cha-
pel anti the parish church commenced ringing early in the
morning, and have continued without scarcely any intermis-
sion during the day. At one o'clock the usual salute was fired
in the Batchelors' Acre, the tradesmen of her Royal Highness
and their friends dined together at the Hope Inn, and their
houses in the evening were generally illuminated. Her Royal
Highness will return to Frogmore Lodge on Tuesday next, the
15th instant, from Bushy Park, where she is staying on a visit
to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence.

ROYAL HUNT.

_ .
The King's Stag Hounds hunted a Deer on Monday, which
was turned out of a cart for the day's diversion this side of
Two-mile Broke, on the Bath-road, in a large field a short
distance from the road. Half-past ten o'clock was the time
-when Lord Maryborough, Master of the Hounds, ordered the
Deer to be turned out, which was witnessed by a numerous
field of sportsmen, numbers in gigs, and hundreds of specta-
tors on foot who were assembled. The Deer at starting took
to the left, leaped a high hedge, through a large field, and
crossed the Bath-road ; by this time the Hounds got scent, and
went off in full speed through the inclosurcs towards Dancy,
taking to the left by Chavey, across the fields, and re-crossed
the Bath-road between Salt Hill and Slough, and ran with
great speed through the inclosures towards Stoke Park, where
he leapt the paling, and took refuge in a pool of water; the
Hounds soon got him out, when he ran among a herd of Deer
in the Park, and soon was taken, after a chace of upwards of an
hour and a half.—At the Hunt last Friday the Deer was taken
on the Hill to the left of Harrow, after along run.

GAME SHOOTING.

Mr. Montgomery of Warfield, Ilerks, undertook on Mon-
day to kill 60 head of game in eight hours, with a double-
barrelled gun, to hunt and to pick up his own game. The
number killed was as follows, on the Oxfordshire-hills to the
westward of Henley-upon-Thames. Mr. Montgomery break-
fasted at Shiplake, three miles from where he started, having
bagged in three hours sixteen hares, nine pheasants, and eight
partridges, total, 33. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the
shooter having finished at Playhatch, three miles from Read-
ing, the whole produce was 26 hares, 22 pheasants, and 14
partridges, winning the match of 50 sovereigns by two head.
Partridges were scarce and wild.

ANECDOTES, &c.

MILITARY PUN.—A General Officer, who was very obser-
vant of his military duties, having retired from the service, and
descended to less expensive apartments, was found by a friend
assisting a servant in sewing two beds together. " What,"
said the friend, " turning Upholsterer-General ?"—`• Not at
all," replied the General, " I am following my old profession
lack-ticks."
Sir ROBERT WALPOLE was fond of playing at billiards, at
which his friend Dr. MONSEY excelled him. " How happens
it, Monsey," said Sir Robert, " that nobody beats me at bil-
liards, or contradicts me, but you ?"—" The solution is easy,"
slid Monsey, with his usual bluntness, •' I want neither places
nor money from you. Perhaps, if I did, I should be as great
a bungler at billiards as you arc, and as submissive an auditor
as any of your expecting sycophants."
ROYAL NOTICE.—A Frenchman in lower life boasted that
the King had addressed him. " What did his Majesty say?"
said his friend. " Why," answered the other, "he bade me
stand out of the way."
WARBURTON Awn Qua N.—Thesc contrary characters
meeting at Mr. Allen's house, near Bath, the conversation
turned upon the execution of Charles the First. After much
debate Warburton demanded to know " by what law he was
put to death." "By all the law," rejoined Quin, " that he
had left in the land.' This ingenious sophism put an end to
the controversy.
THREE GRAND REASONS WHY EVERY MAN SHOULD
MARRY.—To ensure a fond mistress in youth ; a friend in
middle life; and, what is most material, an attentive nurse in
sickness or age—" thee trio sunt omnia."

WINDSOR, AUG. 24.—We are sorry to announce that a
very slight alteration in his MAJESTY'S health has prevented
him from taking his customary airings yesterday and this day.
The indisposition of his Majesty is so trifling that we hope in a
day or two to report his perfect recovery. Sir W. Knighton
arrived at the Royal Lodge yesterday morning. Yesterday
his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester visited Windsor
on horseback. This morning his Royal Highness left Bagshot
Park in his travelling carrige and four .with an out-rider and
postillions through Windsor for Dropmore, to pay a visit to
Lord G►enville. His Royal Highness also visited Sir G.
Warrender, at Cliefden, and afterwards returned to Bagshot
Park to dinner. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta
took an airing yesterday in the Great Park.

POETRY.

STANZAS ON A DEAD ROSE.
ADDRESSED TO A YOUNG LADY OF FASHION.
00, faded flower, and tell the youthful maid
However bright her hopes, or fair she be,
That in the dust, her beauty must be laid—
As thou dose wither—even so must she !
Tell her—While gaily fluttering in the crowd,
In all the vanity of fashion drest,
How soon that form may wither in the shroud,
How soon the grass may flourish o'er that breast.
Tell her—decay is but one common lot,
That the bright dream of youth will quickly fly ;
And (which it seems she now remembers not),
Tell her, sweet Moralist—" that she must die !"
Bid her—oh ! bid her,.every hour prepare—
If spotless to her death-bed she be given,
Like thine, her ashes shall perfume the air,
Her breath, like incense, re-ascend to Heaven.

EIMITISIT PRESS.]

The French Papers which we received last
night bring only vague and contradictory reports
from Greece. According to letters from Con-
stantinople, containing advices from the Morea
to the 9th ofJuly,lbrahim Pacha remained in the
plains of Tripolizza, and the Turkish troops re-
cently landed by the Ca pitan Pacha were proceed.
ing to join him by why of Leondari. T here was
a report also at Syra that Ibrahim Paella had
succeeded in burning Corinth, and that Colocotroni
had afterwards entered into negociations with
him. On the other hand, letters from Venice posi-
tively assert that the Greek General, Goura, has
gained another victory over the Pacha of Negro-
pont,. who had been compelled, in consequence
of the disaster, to withdraw all his forces from
the district of Eastern Greece, which was in his
occupation. These reports all rest on very doubt-
ful authority. Most probably it will turn out that
none of theni is founded in truth. We still look
with anxiety,and not without hope, for the confir-
mation of the defeat and capture of Ibrahim Pacha.
The Jesuits in France are' making a rapid and
steady progress to the possession of wealth and
power:l t Is stated that they have lately asked the.
Government to give them the bluildinE,, and estate
cf the " Val de Grace," in order that they may
establish a house of their fraternity ; and such- is
their influence, we are told, that preparations
have been begot) for the removal of the military
hospital, by which the " Val de Grace" is now
occupied. The prosecution of,-.the Constitution-
net and the Courier Fruncaiselis another proof
decisive of the increased and increasing power of
the ecclesiastical party, and especially of the
Jesuits. Those two Journals have published the
Procureur-General's requisition for their suspen.
sion at full length. It is a declamatory Paper, very
well written as a political pamphlet in defence of
the Government, but to Englishmen, accustomed to
seejustice administered in so different a manner, it
must have a singular appearance as a judicial do-
cument. The formation of a camp on the frontiers
of Spain,,has not been suspended. Two regi-
ments were to arrive at Bayonne on the 18th
instant, and would take up their quarters outside
the town. The General of Engineers, Ilaxo,-
was expected, in order to examine the state of
the fortifications, and render them worthy of their
topographical position.

ARSON.

Grace Hayes was capitally indicted for having wilfully, ma-
liciously, and feloniously, so fire to a barn or shippon belong-
ing to Charles Davies, of Blackburne, on the 16th May last.
Several witnesses deposed to having seen the prisoner near the
barn on the day charged in the indictment; but no proof was
offered that she had any tire or light, or other materiel in her
possession, although she bad declared to some person on the road
that she would burn it —She was acquitted.
Alr. Justice BAYLEY intimated a hope to the prisoner that
she would take warning by this aCquital, and not indulge in
notions of revenge, which eventually induced her to the com-
mission of the offence of which she was now so fortunately
acquitted.

FATAL. EFFECTS OF OVER.ANXIETY.—Sunday
evening a man, his wife, and the wife's sister, took a walk up
Millbank—the wife carrying her infant, which was a healthy
and tine child. After walking .same time, the mother gave the
infant the breast ; and then the sister proffered to carry the
child, which was agreed on. The sister having obtained the
child, her care, as well as that of the mother, was, despite of
the terrifically hot and, saffbcating weather, " to see that the
baby was, wrapped up warm ; and particular), to pull a shawl
or a handkerchief over its face, so that it might not eaten cold."
On looking at the infant shortly afterwards, they were petri.
tied at findin it destitute of all animation, and that
.blood had
issued from the nostrils. The'child was dead.

absent from the chair as Steward', but on his return expressed
great surprise at so unusual an event, and instantly declared
the heat to be void, and to berun over an-ain. This mistake gave
great satisfaction, as it afforded another heat which was very well
run. The last heat was won by Jack Bunce, by half a length,

ESTATES FOR SALE.

ARGYLESHIRE.
TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE BARGAIN,
THE LANDS of ARDLUSSA and KNOCK-
INTAVAIL, in the Island of Jura. These Lands;
comprehending about 14,000 Scots acres, are beautifully si-
tuate towards the north east end of the Island of Jura. They
ire contiguous and compact; and intersect the Island from sea
to sea. They command a fine view on the one hand of the
point of KnXpdale and coast of Kintyre; and 'oh the other, of
the point of Craignish, and the west entrance of the Crinah
Venal. They are about four miles distant from the oprfoisite
coast of Knapdale, and the same distance from the Crinan
Canal, between which and Glasgow there is communication
by steam-vessels almost daily in summer.;-• There are also
two public ferries between the north east- part of Jura, and
the opposite coast of Argyleshire. One Of the terries, aboqt
four miles in breadth, is within less than a mile of the northern
march of these lands; the other, about" fire miles in breadth,
is at Lag, eight miles of the south of them, -and which
place there is a post-office, where the mail arrives, and is
dispatched three times a week. These lands abound With game
of different kinds, consisting of grouse, black game, ptarmegan,
&c. also red deer. There is an excellent fishing river, in which
there are salmon and trout in abundance. There are also .miner
streams and lakes in which there are plenty -of fish. At Ard-
lussa there is a comfortable house, consisting of four rooms,
kitchen, garret, and closets, with a garden. Near the house
there is a fine bank of natural wood, and some forest trees re-
cently planted are in a very thriving condition. There a few
places calculated to afford so much gratification to sportsmen,
eitherin shoothrif or fishing, and with much to attract the ad-
mirers of scenery, there is also much aptitude for improvement.
As an eligible investment for capital these landi are particularly
deserving of attention. They are stocked with black cattle and
sheep of superior q6ality, belonging to the proprietor, in whose
natural occupation the lands have been for many years, and who
has been offered a net rent of 7501. per annum for them. As it is
difficult within thelimita of an advertisement to convey an ade-
quate idea of this property, intending purchasers are invited to
visit it, and satisfy themselves of its beauty, advantages, and
valUe. The herd at Ardlussa will show the lands ; and for fur-
ther particulars, application may be made to Robertlllackenzie,
Esq. W. S. Edinburgh.,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 8.
Notwithstanding the importations of the past week have not
been so excessive as the previous one, still they form a large
supply, far greater than there is any demand for ; a great por-
tion, therefore, goes into granary. The Corn laws, as we inti-
mated in our ast, are to undergo discussion in Parliament early
in March, in order, if possible, to purify and amend them.
At the close of the week, the demand for:Wheat and Oats re-
vived a little, and to-day's market was well attended by dealers,
but they did not buy extensively, yet the sales made were at
an advance of 2d. to 3d. per bushel on Wheat, and about d.
on Oats. The holders of Barley were asking higher prices, but
it is dull of sale. In Malt, Beans, Peas, Flour, or Oatmeal,
there is no alteration. Bonded Grain is scarcely inquired for;
and it, perhaps, would be as difficult to find buyers as sellers
under present circumstances. Some trifling parcels of Flour
are taken for exportation.

THE THEA_TRES.

DIWAY•LANE.—After the Fall of 41giert, a
new Afterpiece was brought forward on Satur-
day, under the title of The Shepherd of Derwent
Vale, or the Innocent Culprit. The following is
a brief report of the Fable :
Sir Wilfred Wayward (Mr. Archer) having attempted the
murder of his brother, is in danger of having his design disco-
vered by an old soldier, whom he murders to avoid the shame.
He persuades Shock (Mr. Sherwin), an orphan shepherd, to
take the crime upon himself, and promises to save him from
the penalty. Just as Shock is on the point of being executed,
he is discovered to be the brother of Sir Wilfred, who, in a fit
of despair, jumps from the rock into a river, leaving his injured
brother sole heir to his title and fortune.
It may be thought that some of the incidents in
this Piece are of too horrific a kind for a Drama
of this description ; but most of the later pro-
ductions of the stage have been so wild, romantic,
and terriGc,that mere natural events would appear
too tame, and be too unaffecting to tempt Ma-
nagers to bring them forward with the hope
of success. There is nothing of striking ori-
ginality in the new Piece, but it is far from being
destitute of interest, and the simple and natural
acting of Mr. SNERWIN in particular rendered it
successful. It is ascribed to Mr. LUNN, who, by
all accounts, is a scholar and a gentleman, the
Author of several poetical productions, as well as
of those popular Farces Family Jars and Fish out
of Water. A very good house.
COvENT•G.tuDEN.—TIte Comedy of The In-
constant was repeated on Saturday before a very
numerous audience, chiefly for the purpose of re•
storing Miss FOOTE to the part of Oriana, a part
that, in her endeavours to induce the object 01
her affection to marry her, corresponds with her
own fate. She was received, as before, with warm
and universal applause, and the Comedy, as we
remarked on a recent occasion, went off with
great spirit.
THE OPERA Housa.—The reason of the delay
in opening this favourite resort of the fashionable
world is highly honourable to the LORD CHAM-
BERLAIN, who will not permit any performance
to take place till he is assured of the solidity of
the building. Mr. BENJAMIN WyaTT, the in-
telligent Architect of Drury-lane Theatre, has
made a report, on oath, as to the dangerous state
of the Opera House. Several other Architects,
however, have been employed on the occasion,
and their report is very favourable to the state of
the building. When the sanction is obtained,
it will be opened under the direction of Mr.
EDERS, whose former management gave full sa-
sfaction to the subscribers.
