in a immediately,

very few persons were with. them till they came to a check by
some men hallooing the fox near Woodcote ; after a little con-
fusion they went off again to the Rough Park, and ran hard
through all the Sheriff Hales Woods, round by the Canal, back
to Woodcote, from thence cold hunting towards Chethell, Heath
Hill, and to the Old Park, near Sheriff Hales, over the Wat-
ling-street Road, running hard towards Priors Lee, back to
Horton Plantations, crossed the Shrewsbury Road, towards
Peter's Finger, and back to Inning Paper Mills, where he was
viewed, and ran into on Brimstree Hill, after a chase of two
hours and forty minutes.—( Worcester Journal. )

THE MATCH OF 140 MILES IN 48 HOURS.

Captain Holmes, who started from Cheapside, to go to
Weyhill and hack, and to touch on Oakingham, Berks, per-
formed his distance well on the first day. The start took place
at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, and he went to Staines
before he refreshed, and dined at Basingstoke. He reached
'Weyhill at nine o'clock in the morning of Friday, having taken
plenty of rest. Many heavy bets were pending upon yesterday
at the same odds as at starting, but the weather has been very
favourable, and he has promised himself to take an early
breakfast at Bedfont.

STAMP-OFFICE, DUBLIN.-The Lords of the
Treasury have issued a new Commission, appointing the fol-
lowing gentlemen to the Board of Stamp Duties :—William

John Lisson Cooper, Esq. who for many years has held the
office of Receiver-General of Customs • and Darcy Mahon,
Esq. late Inspector-General of Stamp Duties. Edward Glas-
cock and John Trench, Esqrs., it is understood, will be either
removed to the English Board, or retire upon such superan-

The following gentlemen have been provisionally suspended :
Alexander Holmes, Esq. Distributor; Richard Jones, Esq.
Warehouse-keeper; and Richard Graydon, Deputy Ware-

his late indisposition that he paid a visit yesterday to the' Right
Honourable Sir CHARLES LONG, at his seat Bromley Hill,
and he has transacted business at the British Museum as one
of the Trustees on the two last Saturdays. It is hoped that he
will be able to attend his duty in Parliament as usual.
Three children (the whole family) of James
Long, of Trowbridge, now lie dead of the small-pox; and
numbers are daily falling victims to this dire complaint in that
town. It is indeed lamentable that ignorance and obstinacy
should so powerfully combine as to cause all this profusion of
human life when so mild a preventative is at hand.—( Dorset
County Chronicle.)
A woman of the Potteries, sending for some
snuff, a few days ago, in the afternoon, was asked
by her husband " what she had done with the
half ounce she had bought that morning ?"
" Half ounce," she replied, " what i 5 that for a
woman giving suck .9"

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.
CONST- V. MANNING.

The Court was this day more than usually
thronged, under the impression that judgment
would have been given in the above cause, The
Lord Chancellor, however, expressed a doubt as
to the necessity of Mr. Harris being served I:ith
a subpcena, and
Mr. HART replied that several attempts had
been made to do so but in vain.

Mr. HEALD said, Mr. Harris might appear
without a service, but from some cause the gen-
tlemen on the other side declined seeing hit's!. •
The LORD CHANCELLOR—WiII you tell me
where he is to be found.

Mr. CONST said, he had seen Mr. Harris, who
informed him, that he had no wish 'to appear,
but he could be very easily served with a
subpoena.
The Loan CHANCELLOR.—If Mr. Harris is in
Court, and will tell me that be does appear, that'
will be sufficient.
After some farther conversation the cause vas
ordered to stand peremptorily for judgment WI
Wednesday.
