Toseph John,

The hawking at Loo, according to a iettet
from that place, was closed on the 10th inst. by Mr.. Charles
S. Wortley, as senior member of the society. The herons
itif,n during the season amounted to 227. The last days
Ns)ei-e extremeir favourable for the sport. The concluding
;f lit finspeculiarly fine. The falcons marked their game at
such an defation as to be nearly invisible to the sportsmen and
spt,raters ; the heron, finding it impossib:e to escape its pur-
dtscended and fell unharmed amidst the company.
Being csbaststed by terror and fatigue, it was easily secured
and marked with the ring No. 121, and when recovered set at
liberty again from the hand- of Lady Stuart Wortley. Two
falconers immediately afterwards se.t out for Norway, to catch
fresh hawks for next season.
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Charles O'Donnell, mi-
litary Secretary to the Commander of the Forces in Canada,
is expected this month to return to this country, from North
America.
SLAP AT THE *QOACHMAKERS.---" I admit
that the items were done," said Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, in re-_
fercnce to a corchmaker'S bill, at the Assizes, " but shine of
them are exorbitant." 11 One never pays a coachmaker bill
without thinking so, brother Talfourd," replied his Lordship.
