CAMBRIDGE' APRIL 22.—The Rev. Charles Henry Lut-
widge, B.A. of St. John's College, has been collated to the
vicarage of Othery, Somersetshire, on the presentation of the
Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells.
On Monday last the excavations for the foundations of the
new buildings at King's College were begun, and a consider-
able quantity of stone being already.landed; the erections will
be commenced in about a fortnight. It is expected that the
hall anti the Provost's lodge will be covered in by the end of
October. The College, wilen completed, will present a pile of
buildings unrivalled in this kingdom, and scarcely equalled by
any gothic edifices in Europe. The architect is Wni.Wilkins,
Esq., of Camas College, and the contractors arc Messrs. Stan-
nard and Co„ of Norwich.

Most of the extensive buildings now erecting in this Univer-
sity are constructed of Stone from Ketton, near Stamford : and
immense quantities are sending off weekly from the quarries of
\Vansford, where the stone ix put on board craft, by which it is
carried down the river Nene, and along the drains by Whittle-
sea to this place. It may be remarked, that many of the prin-
cipal collegiate and religious edifices of the kingdom are built
of stone dug either at Barnack or Ketton, two parishes distant,
the one four miles east, the other four miles west, from Stam-
ford. The venerable abbey of Bury St. Edmund's is one of
the magnificent piles constructed of materials from Barnack.

HUNTING.
On Saturday, the 10th inst., Captain Baird's hounds had a
fine day's sport. The place of meeting was Armadale Toll-
bar, on the Glasgow road, where they immediately found a
fine large fox, with which they went away at a killing pace
towards the village of Bathgate, upon nearing which he turned
to the left, through M r. M arjoribanks, of Marjoribanks' grounds,
for Wallhouse Crag ; where, being headed, he gallantly faced
the Bathgate hills, and skirting the numerous lime quarries,
disdained all the earth. Here lie turned short to the left, and
crossing Hilderstone Hill, he ran through Witchcrag wood, the
west parks of Broomie, and continuing in a north direction as
far as the bottom of -Code Roi, lie turned to the right, and
running over the fine grass country of Broomie, he never va-
ried a point till he reached Bickerton wood, where he was so
closely pressed by the gallant pack, that lie was obliged once
more to take the open country. He broke away towards the
Binny Craig, but leaving it to his right he made for the Badger
Earths, where he was twice buried, dead beat, and here would
have been killed, had the scent at all served on the ploughed
land. Getting away again, he crossed the Linlithgow road,
ran through the Champfleurie grounds, as far as the Union
Canal, where he turned short round and came back to Champ-
fleurie, where he went to ground in a drain at the bottom of the
garden—thus completing one of the finest runs ever seen with
hounds. The extent of the country point blank not being less
than 14 miles, and, taking the run, certainly not less than 20
miles. Never did hounds do their duty better ; it was a fine
finish to the season. Too much praise cannot be given to Capt.
Baird for having, in so short a time, brought his hounds to so
high a state of perfection.—( Edinburgh Observer.)

MATCH TO TROT FIFTEEN_fiILES IN ONE

HOUR AND THREE MINUTES.
It seems, on reference to former records, that fifteen miles in
one hour was trotted in harness a few years since, with more
than three minutes to spare, and that, like the twenty-eight
miles in two hours, has never been known publicly to have
been accomplished but once. Mr. Bullock, a gentleman 'of
fortune, undertook to find a mare to do the above match, and
the trial was made yesterilay morning, very early, over fifteen
miles of ground on the Ipswich. rood, in a lofty vehicle, driven
by a youth of seven stone. The match was for 200 sovereigns
to one against winning. The mare did the first five miles in 20
minutes, after once backing the wheels for galloping. She kept
steady at her work, doing each mile within a few seconds of
four minutes, under or over, and the tenth mile was completed
in forty minutes and five seconds, when she began to fret, and
made two breaks from the trot in the twelfth mile. The hour
and three minutes had expired when the mare was more than a
quarter of a mile from home, and the match was consequently
lost.

COURT OF RING'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.

CRIM. CON.
This morning an action was brought by Mr.
BAIN, an opulent merchant., against the defendant
Mr. Mason, to recover a compensation in damages
for the injury he had sustained in the happiness
and affections of his wife, w ith whom, he the plaintiff
had been married 22 years, for criminal conversa-
tion. Several witnesses were examined, among
whom were the female servants.of Mrs. Bain, who
generally deposed that the plaintiff and his. wife
lived on the most intimate terms of happiness.—
The defendant, it appeared, visited the plain-
tiff's house, and occasionally slept there, owing
to which Mrs. Bain was observed by the servants
to come out of defendant's room in the morning
with her night. clothes on, and when so observed,
was very much confused.

The defendant, who was a young man, it ap-
peared was possessed of no property whatever,
but lived with a stepfather.

The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 1001.
