THE BRIGHTON HARRIERS.
BRIGHTON, FEB. I.—The Harriers which threw off at
Patcham yesterday,produced an agreeable day 's di version,though
several accidents, but all of a trifling nature, resulted, owing
at intervals to the density of the fog. A brace of hares was the
spoil of the day. Several Gentlemen wire kept out to a late
hour after the sports, in consequence of their taking wrong
routes, from the vapour-enveloped downs, for this place [40112

wandered to near Shoreham, six miles west of us, and others
to Rottingdean, four miles east, before they could find a clue
to end their difficulties. The Richmond 'thespian Manager,
who had saddled " White Surrey for the field," for aught we
know to the contrary, wandered many miles wide of his mark,
ere he could exultingly exclaim—" Richard's himself again."
We did not hear that he offered " a kingdom for a hers:.," for
it appeared that he had one more than he knew well what to
do with, though we believe he would have parted with his high
mettled steed, for a slow but sure footed donkey, in one de-
sponding moment, that could have afforded him the promise
of being dismounted, no matter how close to a mud-ho'e, within
a cognizable distance of his own residence. The latter, how_
ever, he reached, to " eat his mutton cold," and free from cor-
poreal mishap or fractures.

PIGEON SHOOTING.
The Pigeon-match between the three Crack Clubs, .."slidgham,
Ashton, and the New flats, took place yesterday, by adjourn
ment, in the Bagshot inclosures, for 150 sovereigns. Midgharn
won it by the seven members killing from 49 birds, forty-one.
Ashton killed forty, and the New Hats the like number..__
Several other sporting matches took place.

Accounts from Santiago to the beginning of
October state, that since the revolution in Chili,
in July last, all had been tranquil. The new
Government is stated to have done more in the
work of reformation than had ever been effected
before. Many salutary changes in the bigotted
forms existing in Chili were about to be pmt it
force, and all these proceedings were to be sub-
mitted to a Congress which it was believed would
be Called in the course of October, and which was
also to form a new Constitution. On the 29th
August a very severe shock of earthquake was
felt at Santiago, but no damage was done. Re-
ports were current, however, that the town of
Copiopo had been entirely destroyed by this
dreadful visitation, and of the whole population
only two families had been preserved.
