The Counties won by killing 104 birds, and the Club 99,

A Goon DAY'S Sron.T.—The Roxby hounds met on Wed-
nesday (a bye day) at Roseberry, and found a dog-fox, which
they killed in high style, after running about three miles ;
at the moment they were breaking up this fox, they were hal-
looed by another, which, after a run of ten miles, without a
check, was killed; but the pleasure of this chace was somewhat
destroyed to the sportsmen when they found it to be a bitch
fox, with no less than eight young ones in her, a number sel-
dom, if ever, heard of. They found again, and after a severe
run of six miles, killed in gallant style their third fthc—horses,
hounds, and sportsmen, alike ready to retire to rest. It was the
best scenting day these hounds have had this season.

ARGYLL Rooms.—These rooms were opened
ast night for a Selection of READINGS by Mr.
PUTNAM, who a few years ago was a respectable
actor at Drury-lane Theatre, has since performed
on the Edinburgh Stage, and latterly has been
successfully employed as teacher of Elocution in
that City. The Selections last night were di-
vided into three parts, or acts, and they were
chiefly taken from the works of OTWAY, POPE,
YOUNG, THomsoN, and SOUTHEY. These were
of a grave and pathetic cast. Those of a lighter
nature were derived from ADDISON, HUMPHREY
It EPTON, GEORGE COLMAN, the younger, and
several anonymous productions. The Extracts
were properly varied, and were all delivered
with judgment and expression. It is evident that
Mr. PUTNAM is chiefly calculated for the serious
province of his entertainment, but he delivered
the effusions of humour with considerable effect,
and, on the whole, proved that he is well quali-
fied for the profession which he latterly adopted
in Edinburgh. The manner in which he intro-
duced "'The misfortunes of a Bashful Man " de-
serves particular notice; it was so natural, sim-
ple, and expressive, that every body thought he
came forward to disclose his own, and to solicit
a general contribution. But the penurious were
soon relieved from their fears by the ludicrous
character of the cempositiln and the spirit of the
recital.—On the whole, the entertainment was
moral, instructive, and diverting, and properly
received the repeated applause of a very nu-
merous audience.

The Hon. Lady SMITH, we are concerned to state, is much
indisposed at her house in Piccadilly, in consequence of a fall
in alighting from her carriage.
From a return of the number of convicts sent
out of the. United Kingdom, from Jan. 5, 1816,
to Jan. 5, 1822, which has been printed by
order of the House of Commons, it appears
that the number of males transported during that
period has been 15,218, while the number of
females has been only 1155. This striking dis-
proportion between the sexes, which is thus pro-
duced in New South Wales for example, must
have occasioned a very extraordinary state of
society in that colony. Persons interested in its
prosperity, and the Government, ought to take
into early consideration the effect, not only upon
morals, but upon population, and consequently
upon property, which must shortly arise under
these circumstances,' unless the emigration of
females be encouraged. •
