BRILLIANT RUN WITH THE RUFFORD HOUNDS.—
On Tuesday last, these hounds met at Glappwell Toll-
bar, and the morning being as fine as the most fasti-
dious sportsman could desire, it drew forth the goodly
number of about seventy horsemen; at eleven' oclock
they proceeded to the Hardwick covers, which proved a
blank (although a fox was seen by some footmen after
the hounds had gone away), Newton Wood was the
next cover tried, and shortly after the hounds had en-
tered, a well known whimper soon gave tongue, which in-
dicated that Reynard was at home; this was quickly
responded to by the gallant pack being in full cry; a
view, Tally ho! was joyfully shouted by the sportsmen,
but Beynard could not get away, and made another ring
round the wood; he at last broke away in gallant style,
the whole pack being close upon him, in the direction
for Newton. He crossed by Littlemoor, then by Tib-
shelf pits, from thence he made direct to Hurst House,
the residence of John Chambers, Esq., where he crossed
the pleasure grounds in front of the house (where he
had fetched, and feasted on, a fine turkey only three
nights before), from Hurst he continued his course to
Biggin cover, leaving Hardstaff village on the left, thence
to Astwith and Stainsby, direct for Holme Wood, pass-
ing to William'horpe Wood, and crossing the Mansfield
turnpike, made direct for Sutton Springs, passing
through this large cover to Calow-green, rounding Ca-
low-green, turning to the left up the valley below Has-
land, where the hounds had a long check, and virtually
gave up for lost; the few who were up considering they
had had enough. The run lasted one hour and five
minutes, and from the swiftness of the pace throughout,
and the heavy state of the ground through the rain
which bad fallen the previous night, there would have
been a very select few, had the hounds gone a couple of
miles further. Reynard was seen to cross the turnpike
above 'Rutland, into the grounds of Captain Dobson, of
Hasland Hall, and it was evident he was no stranger to
the country, for he was going straight ahead for Win-
gerworth Woods. We saw many coats which had
changed their colour during the run, the heavy state of
the ground causing the horses to make frequent mistakes
in fencing. Newton Wood is a capital cover; it is on
the border fence of Nottinghamshire, I miles south of
Hardwick Hall, 1 mile from Tibshelf village, and 1 mile
from Newton and Black% ell villages. Thus ended the
second good run from the favourite cover of the late J.
Musters, Esq.—Derbyshire Courier.

Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand
Duke and Duchess of Meoklinburgh-Strelitz left London
on Saturday, at half-past eleven o'clock, by express train
on the South-Eastern Railway, for Dover, en route for the
Continent. Their Royal Highnesses were accompanied
to the London-bridge Terminus by his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge and their Royal High-
nesses the Duchess Dowager of Cambridge and the
Princess Mary.
" RUINOUS EFFECT OF FREE TRADE."—We have
to record another instance of the consequence of the " blight-
ing measure" of free trade, under which one of the institu-
tions of
in the country is suffering severely—we allude to the
institutionution of bankruptcy, which is at a very low ebb, espe-
cially this city. The year 1847, famous for its dear bread,
was one of remarkable prosperity to this great interest, al-
though the free traders and the commercial world will per-
sist in calling that year a disastrous one, but ever since that
its business has been gradually declining. A splendid build-
ing has been erected in a most eligible situation, every ac-
commodation is afforded; the learned commissioner, like the
principal man of business in a great commercial house, is
assiduous in his attention. He rarely misses a day, but
after all the concern won't take. The worshipful registrar
rarely mounts his wig, his duties are of the easiest description
—the official assignees watch in vain for that fertilizing
shower of fiats which, "in the good old times," flowed down
so plentifully—and Mr. Bullivant's messengers stand idly by
waiting for engagements which won't come. A certain
well-known auctioneer, who has all the business in his line
of the court, feels much dissatisfied, he is become a most
zealous Protectionist, complains loudly of the badness of the
times, and declares, that unless some sort of protection be
restored, this venerable institution, like many others, must
perish and come to naught.— Western Times.
SEIZURE OF AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY.-011 Satur-
day Mr. Sullivant, a revenue-officer, seized a very extensive
private still that was being worked in some vaults formerly
attached to a Dissenting chapel in Burton-crescent. He cap-
tured one man on the premises, and took him before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, at Clerkenwell-court, who ordered him to pay 301.,
or be imprisoned for three months. An immense quantity
of illicitly-manufactured spirits, together with the various
apparatuses used in the illicit distillation, were removed to
her Majesty's stores, Old Broad-street, in the course of the
day.
THE LATE R. THORPE, ESQ SURGEON.—This
eminent surgeon died on Tuesday at his residence in Picca-
dilly, in the 63rd or 64th year of his age. He was known
not only in Manchester, but throughout the kingdom, as one
of the cleverest anatomists and operating surgeons the three
kingdoms contained. Mr. Thorpe was the son of Mr. John
Thorpe, himself an eminent surgeon, who resided in King-
street for a number of years. The funeral will take place on
Wednesday next, at Blacklen, where the family possess a
grave. The medical staff of the Idfirmary propose paying a
last tribute of respect to their departed colleague, but beyond
that, the proceedings will be private, in accordance with the
well-known feelings of the deceased gentleman.— Manchestez
Courier.

DEATH or LORD DALMENY.—lntelligence was
received in town yesterday of the death of Lord Dalmeny,
ellest son of the Earl of Rosebery. The melancholy event
took place on Thursday morning at Dalmeny- park, Linlith-
gowshire. His Lordship was born in 1809, and in 1843
married the Lady Wilhelmina Stanhope, only daughter of
the fourth Earl Stanhope and sister of Lord Mahon. His
Lordship was appointed Vice-Lieutenant of Linlithgowshire
in 1844, and during a number of years represented the Stir-
ling district of burghs in Parliament. The sister of the late
Lord, the Lady Anne Primrose, married Mr. Henry Tuffnell
about three years ago.
WARNING TO SHOOTERS WITH GUN COTTON.—On
Tuesday afternoon, the 14th instant, Henry Christie, a fine
youth, about fourteen years of age, second son of Captain
Christie, Ilillend, Clackmannan, was shooting along with
others at a target. His powder having run down, a
game-keeper standing near offered to load his gun with gun-
cotton ; to which the youth agreed, and then proceeded to
fire it. Whether it was from too much of this explosive and
dangerous article being put into the gun, or from the gun
not being adapted for the stuff, is not known ; but when the
trigger was drawn, the barrel burst over the left hand, tear-
ing off the thumb and part of the finger, and shattering the
rest of the hand in a dreadful manner. Medical aid was
speedily procured, when it was decided that the only chance
of saving the boy's life was by amputation. The hand was
accordingly amputated (the patient being under chloroform)
about two inches above the wrist; and we are happy to add
that the case is now going on favourably.—Perth Paper.
THE NORTHERN COAL MINING COMPANY.—On
Friday a call of 101. per share on the contributories excluded
from the last list, was declared by Master Tinney, and which,
if paid, will produce 70V/. The solicitor of the official ma-
nager stated that the liabilities of the company amounted to
about 120,000/. ; but that, on the supposition that this and
the previous calls would come in, and the other assets realize
a fair value in the market, there would probably be sufficient
funds to pay off the debts.
SUICIDE BY OIL OF ALMONDS.—On Monday
night last, Mr. Smith, of St. Andrew's, confectioner, had
just finished the drawing for a monster twelfth-cake and
other prizes, when he fell into a dispute with his shop-maid,
daughter of his housekeeper, respecting her conduct. The
quarrel became violent, and both parties were much excited,
the housekeeper taking part with her daughter against the
charges which Mr. Smith had made. This had lasted, how-
ever, but a few minutes when Mr. Smith struck the former,
and knocked the latter down stairs. He then went into the
bake-office and committed suicide by drinking oil of almonds.
An inquest was held by Mr. Wilde on Tuesday, when a ver-
diet of "Temporary Insanity" was returned. It is said that
the deceased, who was much attached to the girl, was ex-
cited by jealousy.—Bury Post.
PAPAL AGGREESION.—In connexion with this sub•
ject we may state that on the publication of Lord John Rus.
sell's manifesto, in which be announced that the law officers
of the Crown would look into the law of the question to
ascertain whether there was any ground for a prosecution,
the Cardinal at once gave instructions to a legal gentleman
of eminence to take the necessary measures for his defence.
Some time having elapsed without any movement on the
part of the law officers of the Crown, the Cardinal's legal
adviser addressed a letter to them, inquiring whether any
legal proceedings were contemplated, and if so, what form
the prosecution would assume. After some delay a reply
was received from the Government stating that it was not
their intention to institute any legal proceedings, the law in
its present state not being applicable to the act of the Car-
dinal, and that the question would be reserved for legislative
consideration. Sunday Paper.
PRINTERS WIDOW, ORPHAN, OR NOMINEE FUND
—The officers of the above institution, and a few members
and friends, met on Saturday evening at Anderton's Hotel,
Fleet-street, to celebrate the first anniversary of the society.
The chair was occupied by Mr. John Nichols, sen., who in a
short address pointed out the claims of the institution to the
support of the profession. It has, by the zeal of its founders.
during the short period of its existence, been introduced
into 101 printing-offices in London, numbers 700 members,
and after meeting six casualties possesses at present a fund
amounting to 3121. At the small payment of ad. per week
it insures to the widow, orphans, or nominee, 201. at the
decease of a free member, thus enabling the most humble to
provide against the future. The meeting was addressed by
several other gentlemen, and the evening was harmoniously b
spent.
