assembly broke up. All thc avenues to the grounds were brilliant-
ly lighted up. The Ball-room (i.e. the Gallery) is 90 feet in length
by 40 and 28 high. The flooring, which is of the finest oak, the

HUNTING.
The North Momereet Fox-hounds meet on Friday, at Ash-
wick Grove ; and on Monday, at Ash= Wood.

The following letter is addressed to Mr. JEF-
FERSON, proprietor of the Douglas Advertiser, he
having copied the paragraph from n London Paper
to which the letter refers :
" London, Dec. 29, 1823.
" Sin—Perceiving in your Paper, which has been handed to
me, that I am mentioned as the Editor of the John Bull news-
paper, in an account of my arrest by Government for an alleg-
ed debt, I have to request that you will immediately contra-
dict the statement, as I neither am, nor ever was, the Editor of
that or any other newspaper whatever.—l am, &c.
T. E. HOOK."

POLAR Docs.—Two paintings have been
made from these extraordinary animals, by an
ingenious artist, named HAwKINS, one represent-
ing the face of the animal, and the other a
profile of the whole length. The portraits are
accurate and spirited, and though, we under-
stand, they were painted for private individuals,
we hope that they will be assigned to an en-
graver capable of doing justice to the original
works.
