HER MAJESTY'S BUCKHOUNDS.—The season having
been so very short, and the latter portions of it much
interfered with by frosts and heavy falls of snow it has
been determined that the hunting with the royal pack in
the neighbourhood of Windsor shall not be brought to a
close unit the 16th instant. It is expected that the
buckhounds will the following week hunt in the New
Forest, the head-quarters being at Lyndhurst, in Hamp-
shire.

GOOD FRlDAY.—Yesterday being Good Friday,
was held as a strict holiday at the Bank, Custom-house,
and all public offices in London, except the Post-office.
ATTACK BY A BULL AT LUDLOW.—On Sunday
evening se'nnight, a bull, purchased by Mr. Waring,

The bull then took his courserunning
after and attacking men, women, and children in his way,
and when be got to the bottom of Curve-street, he was
followed by several hundreds of persons. The infuriated
beast ran at an old man who was standing against a
garden wall, and knocked him down, breaking his collar-
bone and otherwise severely injuring- him. After mush
danger and difficulty, the bull
was driven near to Corte
turnpike -gate, where he broke into a fiold, and some
young men, with snore courage than discretion, went to
drive him out, but narrowly escaped, The bull then
turned suddenly through the gate, and went helter-
skelter among the crowd, some of whom leaped oser
walls, hedges, and ditches, and ran for their lives. After
about five hours had elapsed, the animal, which had been
assailed during the time with pikes, staves, brick-bats,
stones, and missiles of every description, was driven to
the race-course, tossing everything that came in his way,
and hurting several persons, but not dangerously. Here
ho took up his stand, and would proceed no further, and
it becoming dark, he was left there for the night. At
five o'clock next morning two men went to drive him
home, but the bull immediately attacked them, and they
had a very narrow chance for their lives by escaping into
a tree, under which the bull stood from five o'clock till
eleven, keeping the men close prisoners in their retreat ;
when some " knights of the cleaver" came up and dis-
patched the animal.—Hereford Journal.
KILKENNY SPRING FAIR.—The above fair was held
on Monday last. There was as large a supply of horned
cattle and sheep as we ever remember to have seen at any
former fair in this city. The stock, however, met with
but slow sale. There were few of the Meath buyers in
attendance; and those who were in town seemed by no
means inclined to come up to the expectations of the
sellers. The fair, however, ruled rather dull;_ ad cl very
hanged
little stock, comparatively speaking, of any kind, 12
hands.—Kilkenny Journal.
