A fox was killed a few days since in this
neighbourhood, by the hounds of Mr. Wall, of Coolna►nuck,
whose weight, after being " paunched" was 72ibs. This
enormous animal, which has since been stuffed and em-
balmed, is at present at Mr. O'Neill's, in Carrick-on-Suir.

TETBURYe—VULPINE CUNNING.— Friday
last the hounds of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort
threw off at Shipton Wood, near Tetbury, and we may
safely assert that a more brilliant and respectable field
was never before witnessed. After drawing the cover.
they proceeded to Alley's Furze, within a hundred yards
of a waggon-house belonging to Mr. Kent. Sly reynard
made his escape to the waggon-house, and scrambled to
the angular ridge of its summit, where be 'ermined for
upwards of f%tar hours (from eleven till three), during one
hour and a half of which the hounds were heating cover
in all directions within 200 yards of the place. A lad in
the employ of Mr. Kent decried old sly boots and then
informed his master, who can vouch for the accuracy of
this statement, 1 is curiosity prompting him ro await the
issue of so singular a circumstance. The hounds pro-
ceeded to Highland Wood, where they_ found and killed a
tl)x, after a splendid hunt of an hour. We regret to add
that one of the hounds (a favourite of the huntsman
Long's) was choked in endeavouring to bolt reynard's
hack bone.—Cheltenham Chronicle.

KEAN. The followin7, anecdote of this
eminent tragedian is authentic, and has, we believe, never
been noticed in any of his reminiscences ; it tends to show
that much as the intellect of this great imitator of human
nature was perverted in many acts, which rendered him,
we had almost said, a splendid instance of perverted judg-
ment, he was nut insensible to the most generous feelings
of exalted humanity, and a narration may obliterate some
of those blots which, as in his case, too often attach to
exalted genius. When travelling from Manchester to
London, a few miles from the former town, he casually
met with a labouring man, a Sentchman, coming up
to the latter to seek employment as a journeyman baker.
Oa inquiring into his circumstances, Kean ascertained that
his finances were reduced to half a crown, with which, with
the enterprise characteristic of his countrymen, he relied
for support not only on the road, but even until he could
find employment there. Kean generously offered him a
seat in his carriage, suppotted him bountifully upon the
road, until coming within a feat miles of London he dis-
missed him with a present of five pounds, and gave him
his card with an alourance that in case that sum should
be exhausted before he obtained employment be should
receive further assistance. This circumstance was never
male public until it was elicited some years after, on
account of a disturbance which occnried in the lower
gallery of one of the great theatres, where Kean
was performing, by a respectable working man, who was
' much excited by being prevented from occupying his
usual seat in the front, in order that, as he said, be might
attain a full sight of his former generous patron, declaring
in the honesty and gratitude of his heart that since his
residence in London, to which he had been assi•ted by the
disinterested exertions of his friend, he had never neglected
a single opportunity of visiting the theatre whenever he
had performed.—Morning Advertiser.
CHARACTER OF GEORGE 'I HE FOURTH
WHEN PRINCE REGENT.—As the character of the Princ-
of Wales i 5 becoming intereqing, I have endeavoured to
learn what it truly is. This is less difficult in his case
than that of any other persons of his rank, because he
has taken no pains to hide himself from the world. The
information I most rely on is from a person here with
whom I am intimate, who divides his time between Paris
and London, an Englishmin by birth, of truth, sagacity,
and science. He is (if a circle, when in London, which
had good opportunities of knowing the Prince ; but lie
has also, himself, had special occasions of verifying their
information by his own personal observation. He hap-
pened, when last iu London, to be invited to a dinner of
three persons. The Prince came by chance, and made
the fourth. He ate as much as the other three, and
drank two bottles of wine, without seeming to feel it.
My informant sat next him, and being till tie n un-
known to the prince personally (though not by character)
and from France, the prince confined his conversation
almost entirely to him. Observing to the prince, that
he spoke the French without the least foreign accent,
the prince told him, that when very young his father
had put only French servants about him, and that it
was to that circumstance he owed his pronunciation.
He led him from this to give an account of his educa-
tion, the total of which was the learning a little Lain.
He has not a single element of mathematics, of natural
or moral philosophy, or any other science on earth, nor
has the society he has kept been such as to supply the
want of education. He carries his ind:fference for fame
so far that he would probably not be hurt were he to
lose his throne, provided he could be assured of having
always meat, drink, horses, and women. He had a
fine person, but is becoming coarse. He possesses a
good native common sense, is affable, Feriae, and very
good-humoured. Saying to my informant, on another
occasion, " Your friend • dined with tne yesterday,
and I made him drunk ;" he replied, " I am sorry for it,
I had heard that your Royal Highness had left off drink-
ing;" the Prince laughed, tapped him on the shoulder
very good-naturedly, without saying a word, or ever after
showing any displeasure. The Dake of York, who was
for some time cried up as the prodigy of the family, is as
profligate and of less understanding. To these particular
traits, from a man of sense and truth, at would be super-
fluous to add the general terms of praise or blame in
which he is spoken of by other persons, in whose im-
partiality and penetration I have less confidence. A sample
is better than a description.—Memoirs and Correspon-
dence of Thomas Jefferson, late President of the
United States,.
