CURIOUS ADVERTISEMENT.

The following is a genuine, serious advertise-
ment, taken literatim from the American linleigh
Star, where it stood placed with the figure of a
!mining away negro prefixed to it :---

'twenty-five Dollars Reward.
" Run away from Raleigh, a _month or two ago, a mulatto
man, named 'Anthony, well known in Ra:eigli, and many
parts of the State, as having been for several years the body
servantof General Jones, and mine lately as a pressman and
news-carrier in the Star Ottice. Anthony is about 25 or. to
years of age, 5 feet. t or IThiches high, is'a mongrel white, has
a toter:o,l.y large aquiline nose, bushy hair, a scar on one of
his cheeks, when.in good humour has a pleasing e‘moten;triee.
" He works and walks fast, is lively and taliiritive., full of
anecdote, which he tells in character with u,ucla Ininiour : is
an excellent pressman, indifferent at distelanting types, a
tolerable carpenter and joiner, a plain painter, an excellent
manager ot horses, drives veil awl rides elegantly, having
!leen accustomed to race ; is fond of oc%-lighting (and
of man-s,;kting when drunk), and is said ru heel and pit with
skill ;he can bleed and pull teeth, kun soieething of medi-
cines, is a rough ',artier, a hail ini conceited cook, a good
sawyer, can lay liriek, has worked iu the corn field, and can
scratch a little on Lhe fiddle.

•' lie can do niany other things, and what be can't do lie
prete,ids to have a kturwle.:ge ot. trades and qualities
are thus detailed, because his vanity will undoubted!) lead to
a display ot• them. Ills inaster-viee, or rather the paient of
all his vices, is a fondness for strong drink. Ilk clothes can-
not he der.ribrd, but he carried away few or none, and 'tis
expected will appear shabbily. fie is an artful fellow, and if
taken up will Veil is most plausible story, and possibly spew
forged pass."

RoYAL llLlNT.—Munday being Easter Monday,
st grand Hunt took place by the Royal Stag
Hounds. They turned out on Tokeer-hi!l, near.
SA'illiey, where there was a very numerous as-
sem-blage of sportsmen, althotq4ll the weadier
was very wet and sternly. On the deer being
started for the 'day's diversion, he went Off
with great swiftness across the kleath, mak-
ing towards Winktield Plain, where ie ran
through the inclosures by St. Leonard's Hill, tak-
ing to the Thames in the same direction. It was
the same deer. which was bunted last Easter Mon-
day, aid he took exactly the same course as be
did then. He crossed the Thames between Cie wer
and Windsor, which caused some excellent sport,
as the. hounds and sportsmen were obliged to pass
through Windsor. The chase Was renewed on the
left of Eton College ; the deer running with great
swiftness by Salt Hill and Farnhain Royal towardS
Bulstrode Park, i.aking to the left by • Hedsor,
near the seat of .Lord BosToN, and down the hill,
where he crossed the Thames again, and ran into
a house at Cookham, where he was taken, after
an excellent run of near three hours,
PEnESTRIAN FEAT.---Mr. BROOKE, an Officer in
die Royal Regiment of Horse• Guards, undertook,
I' az. a considerable wager, to go from Windsor to
London, ou foot, and return in tell hours. He
started from-the barracks on Saturday Morning at
five o'clock, and returned to the same' place at 25
minutes past two, Ir.tving 35 minutes to spare.
Bets were considerably against the performance
of the undertaking. . - .

LONG EVITY.--Mr. EVAN PRICE, watchmaker,
of. Llanfyllin, was born the ith day of March,
715, 0. S. and on Saturday the ISth instant,
completed his 100th year on which occasion
several of his friends _assembled to dinner. Mr.
PRICE presided, in full enjoyment of all his facul-
t►es—repeated several anecdotes—and sung some
Welsh so►rgs.
RivEit PIRATES.--A few evenings since some
villains contrived to get on board the Maria Fran-
cisca, a Portuguese vessel, lying near London-
bridge, and entering the cabin, unperceived by
the boy who was on the watch, stole a valuable
gold time-keeper, some wearing apparel, and
other articles, with which they got clear off.—
Several depredations of a• similar description have
recently been committed on board different ves-
sel 6. Some of the gang go to the head of the
vessel, and hold the watch in conversation, whilst
others curet at the stern, and take what first
comes to hand.

Yesterday a portmanteau was cut front behind
the travelling carriage of J. Montt's; 'Ehq. of
Mount-street, between the turnpike at the Brick-
layer's Arms, in the Kent-rna)l, and the Marsh-
gate', Lambeth. Mr. Morris was returning from
France, and the portmanteau, amongst other ar-
ticles of value, 'contained a considerable sum in
Continental gold coin.

On Wedo—esday sennight, when two young
men frbm Paisley were fishing on the Nushat
isle, in the river Clyde, the flood became so grtat,
owing to the late rains,- that they found it im-
possible to reach the main land. The only
building on the island is a house occupied Some-
times as a bartr, and sometimes as a byre; in it
they passed the night, expectation that neXt
day would bring them relief. Next day the
flood was as great. as before, but they did not
doubt of receiving assistance from some of the
steam passage boats ; in this, however, they were
diSappo;nted;
.boat passed atter boat, and it was in.
v..aio they hoisted signals of distress and cried for
help, theorly answer they received was, " call
the boat behind us. " Shivering- with cold,
enched with-rain, and vexed with repeated 'dis-
appoirittne:ts, when the second evening came they
were ',Again obliged to repair to the barn ; here
they made a bed of the driest litter they could
pick front atnoog the cow-dung, and laid theta-
"serVes'dotvn, but sleep alsa refused its aid. Ott
Es iday morning, after having passed two full days
:41 d two nights, without any food, except a raw
flounder, they succeeded in wading to the shore.

The Grand Jury then bowed, and retired to
their private room, and the COurt proceeded with
the cases set down on the Traverse paper, which
consLited chiefly of indictments for ►►ssaults.

This was an indictment a,tainst William Under-

publican in the neighbourhood of Grosvenor-
square.

dominos, got to words, and then to something
like blows, in consequence of Bird denouncing
Underivond. as a cheat : and in the setae which
took place; the_ prisoner seized Bird by the nose
with his mouth, and literally bit off the end of it.
Bird proved this case, on which the .Inry found a
verdict of ?ttilty, and the Court sentenced Under-
wood to six months imprisonment.
