GERMAN PAPERS.

TRIESTE, MARCH 2.--For some time past the accounts from
Greece arc rather more unfavourable. It seems that the states-
man who has the power in his hands, led by his enmity to
Coletti and his friends, and unconsciously guided by M. Daw-
kins, the old mischief-maker of Greece, promotes the views
of the party which is hostile to the new throne. This party
is chiefly active in the Pelopennesus ; in Hydra too, from
which we hear of scenes of great distress, the temper of the
people is not as it should be ; and in Rumelia the effccts of
the enterprise of Tafel Busi are felt. The troops are besides
few in number, and scattered in garrisons at Athens, Chalkis,
Zeituni, Missolonghi, Corinth, Patras, Modon, Coron, and
Kalmata, The Rumeliots, who saved the Government in the
first insurrection, think themselves neglected.

It has been lately decided by Dr. Lushington that
" the Churchwardens cannot in any case have the bells rung
when the Minister forbids it ; that he cannot have them rung
if all the ChurchwardeLs forbid it ; but that he can do so if one
of the Churchwardens agrees with him ; and that the key of
the belfrey is with the Minister."---. Wolverhampton Curoniele.

THE SUN, LON DON, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1835

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

ABSTRACT of a BILL for the Amendment of the Laws
respecting WILLS, as amended by the Committee.--
Brought in by Sir J. Campbell and Dr. Lushington.
The Act begins by defining the meaning of the words
" will," " real estate," " personal estate," " number," and
" gender;" and after repealing a great number of old Acts of
Parliament relative to wills, it proceeds to enact as follows :
All property may be disposed of by will (except estates tail,
or in quasi entail, and estates held in joint tenancy, and which
survive to any other person at his death), even though testator
should only be entitled to such property at his death, and subse-
quently to the execution of his will.—Contingent and future in-
terests in any real or personal estate may be disposed of by will,
except any expectancy as heir to a real estate, or as next of kin
to any person who shall die intestate.—The power of disposition
by will to extend to rights of entry; and also to customary
freeholds and copyholds, which cannot now be devised.—Such
freeholds and copyholds which might have been surrendered
to the use of a will, may be devised without such surrender.—
Freehold and copyhold land, to which the testator was entitled
to be admitted, may be devised before admittance.—All estates
pur autre vie to be devisable. A freehold pur autre vie, if
not devised by will, shall be assets in the hands of the heir
where he is special occupant; and where there is no special
occupant, it shall besassets in the hands of the executor or ad-
ministrator, and be applied like the personal estate.—All per-1
sons above the age of seventeen to be capable of making a
will. No married woman to be capable of making a
will, except of her separate property, or by virtue of a
power of appointment by will, or of personal estate with
her husband's consent, or to appoint an executor to a will
where she is executrix.—No devise to a Corporation to be
valid, unless such Corporation is empowered to acquire real
estate by Act of Parliament.—Every will to be signed by the
testator, or by some other person in his presence and by his
direction, in the presence of two or more witnesses present at
the same time, who shall subscribe their names in the pre-
sence of testator; but no form of attestation to be necessary.—
All appointments by will to be executed in the same manner,
and to require no other form or solemnity.—Nothing in this
Act to affect the regulations for the wills of soldiers, seamen,
and petty officers.—Publication of a will not to be requisite.
—Legacies to an attesting witness to be void; but he or
she may still be admitted as witness.—Creditors and exe-
cutors may be attesting witnesses.—Every will to be
revoked by marriage, except under power of appointment.—No
will or codicil to be revoked by a presumption of an intention
from alteration of circumstances ; nor otherwise than by the
wilful destruction of it by testator, or by some person in his
presence and by his direction, or by marriage, or by substitu-
ting another, or by a' declaration in writing of such an inten-
tion to be executed in the same manner—No alteration made
in a will after its execution to be valid unless executed in the
same manner as will; but it shall be valid if signed by
testator and attested by witnesses in the margin, or if explained
by a memorandum so signed.—No will once revoked to be
revived except by the re-execution of it, or by a
codicil regularly executed, or by the destruction and
revocation of the will which revoked it.—A devise not
to be invalidated by any subsequent conveyance or act—
Every will shall be construed to take effect from the death
of the testator, unless a contrary intention be expressed.—ln
the absence of a contrary direction, all lapsed and void de-
vises to be included in the residuary devise.—A general de-
vise shall include all real estates or property, or estates or
property over which testator had power of appointment.—A
general devise of the testator's lands shall include leaseholds,
as well as freeholds and copyholds.—A devise without any
words of limitation, shall be construed to pass the fee-
simple.—The words " die without issue," or others of simi-
lar import, shall mean a failure of issue at the death of
the person, and not an indefinite failure of his issue.—No
devise to trustees or executors shall pass a chattel interest,
except for a term, or to a presentation to a Church.... Under
an unlimited devise, where the trust may endure beyond the
life of a person, the fee-simple shall be vested in the trustees.
Devises of estates tail shall not lapse by reason of the death
of the deviser before the testator, but shall descend to the issue
of deviser, if any should survive testator.—Devises to chil-
dren, or other issue of testator, not determinable at their death,
shall not lapse by their death before testator, but descend to
their issue, if any survive testator.—The heir of a testator
need not be a party in a suit in equity for the execution of a
will.—Depositions shall not be taken in equity in suits for es-
tablishing wills, unless required by a party at the peril of costs.
This act not to extend to wills made before 1836, nor to assets
of persons who shall die before 1836, nor to Scotland.

Torquay is now constituted a general post town, the
penny charge above the mileage rate having ceased. This
partial tax is said latterly to have averageds 4001. per annum.
An abstract of the Dissenters Marriage Bill has
been published. The necessity for swearing that the parties
are Dissenters is done away with, and a simple declaration
substituted.

The Rev. Mr. Repton having declined the West-
minster Prebend upon the conditions imposed, it has been of-
fered to the Rev. H. Milman, whose claims to distinction as a
scholar, poet, and divine, it is unnecessary to allude to, upon
those conditions, namely, that the prebendary takes no other
Church preferment, and acquiesces in the arrangements with
St. Margaret's parish.
The Tories are circulating reports in all quarters
that when the present Ministry quit.ofiice, which they must do
ere many days pass, the Opposition intend to dissolve Parlia-
ment. In this case, we believe, the example set in dismissing
the last Parliament without a cause, will be avoided. It would,
indeed, be absurd to dissolve a Parliament from whiCh a con-
currence in all measures calculated to promote the welfare of
the country may with confidence be anticipated.—Morning
Paper.

perambulatifig the streets of this city all day, in the rain, beg-
ging and beseeching in the most tbject manner for signatures,
as though the salvation of the State depended upon their efforts.
The address will receive a great number of signatures, as a
matter of course; but as an indication of the feelings of the
inhabitants of Exeter, it can go for nothing, for the Tories
dare not convene a public meeting on the subject in any part
of the city. I had nearly omitted to state, that when the
coach arrived last night with the tidings of the Ministerial de-
feat, the popular exultation knew no bounds.—From the Cor-
respondent of a Morning Paper.
Earl Grey was never in the enjoyment of better
health than at present. Towards the end of last year his
Lordship experienced much inconvenience resulting from the
fatigues of office, and an ardent and extreme devotiono to the
consummation of the great object which, from early life, he
had resolved to accomplish. A quiet, undisturbed residence
at Howick-hall, in the bosom of his much-attached family,
has entirely renovated his Lordship's health and spirits.
An address from the inhabitants of the Ward of
Cripplegate Within is in course of signature to Lord John
Russell, thanking him and the majority of the Members of the
House of Commons who have so nobly advocated the rectifying
of abuses during the present Session of Parliament, particu-
larly upon the question of the Irish Church. This is as it
should be, and every Ward and metropolitan district should
immediately follow this example ; it would tend materially to
strengthen the hands, and encourage the Members of the Op-
position, who are fighting our battles against a Tory faction.—
Morning Advertiser.

It appears by letters recived from Bengal that there
has been a falling off in the territorial revenue of the British
settlements in the East Indies, to the amount of nearly
70,0001., which has caused the present depression in East
India Stock.

The amount of dividends to be paid this quarter is
about five millions. The dividends are due this day in the
Bank, Eight per Cent. Stock ; the Long Annuities ; the
Four per Cents. of 1826 ; the Three per Cent. Old Annuities ;
and the Three and a Half per Cents. Reduced.
The receipts of the Custom-house at Havre during
March last were less by 285,885 fr. than in March 1834.
There is a decrease of 1,000;000 fr. upon the first quarter of
the year, the receipts in 1834 being 5,400,000 fr., and 1835
only 4,400,000 fr.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.—WC have
been in a state of great excitement here to-day. Nothing
has been talked about but the defeat of the Ministers on the
Irish Church appropriation question. The prevailing opinion
among all sensible men is, that Sir Robert Peel must retire.
They posted a notice this morning in the Exchange News-
room, stating that an address to Sir Robert Peel would be
ready for signature at two o'clock. Presuming, however, that
such a step at the present moment would be productive of a
very contrary expression of feeling among the liberal portion
of the subscribers to the Exchange-room, they wisely took
down the obnoxious placard in the course of the morning.
About two o'clock, however, the address did make its appear-
ance, and is a slavish imitation of that which has been recently
got up to the same Right Honourable Personage at the City
of London Tavern. Sir Robert Peel must not, however,
" lay the flattering unction to his soul" that this address re-
presents all the wealth and influence of this great commer-
cial hive ; the contrary is the fact. It is the production of
a small knot of exclusives, who, having more leisure than bu-
siness in hand, are always endeavouring to thrust their poli-
tical nostrums down the throats of this community, with two-
thirds of the respectable portion of which they are decidedly
unpopular.—Morning Paper.
SELECT LIBRARY OP FICTION.—The success
of " Colburn's Modern Novelists," bids fair to equal that of the
\Vaverley Series. It is certainly a most cheap as well as ele-
gant publication. To obtain a most handsome volume, beau-
tifully printed, embellished with engravings in the first style
of art (by the Messrs. Finden), handsomely bound ; and,
above all, including the production of some master-spirit of the
age, for five shillings, is certainly a phenomenon in the history
of literature. Four volumes are now before the public, cons-
prising Mr. Bulwer's celebrated work, " Pelham, or the Ad-
ventures of a Gentleman"—Lady Morgan's popular Irish tale
of " O'Donnel," (the three volumes in one)—and the first
volume (to be completed in two) of " Tremaine, or the Man
of Refinement," by Mr. Ward. Of thsse volumes many thou-
sands are, we understand, already in circulation. To such
persons are about to forma Select Library of Fiction, what
an admirable opportunity is here presented ! The future vo-
lumes are announced to consist of the principal novels of Mr.
Hook, the Earl 'of Mulgrave, Horace Smith, T. H. Lister,
Gleig, Captain Marryatt, G. R R. James, Rev. Mr. Croly,
Banim, Lady Charlotte Bury, and other distinguished writers.
ITALIAN OPERA.--There was a good attendance on
Saturday night in consequence of the Queen's presence. Her
Majesty came in a private and unostentatious manner, and was
but little seen during the evening, although all eyes were di-
rected towards the box in which the Royal visitor was seated.
Considerable disappointment was experienced by the an-
nouncement that the Perrot was unable to dance, owing to
an attack of the lumbago. An apology was also put up at
the various entrances for the absence of Guibelei, and his
brother undertook his part in Tancredi. To the no small
astonishment, however, of the audience, and evidently of the
orchestra as well, the malade imaginaire walked coolly en the
stage in the first act of La Donna del Lego, to play the part
of Dotty/ass and was in as good voice as we ever recollect to
have heard him. Brarabilla sang much better than on pre-
vious occasions. Curioni again doubled in Roderick Dhu and
Fitzjames ; and there was much amusement excited by a
lusts natures in the military band which appears in the last
scene of La Donna del Lage. It was the appearance of a
black man as a Highlander. There is such an excellent treat
in store for the subscribers in the present week that we have
no inclination to dismal further on former miserable exhibitions.
For some weeks we have known of an act, which
we will not venture to describe, said to have been committed
by a Noble Lord on board and in the command of one of his
Majesty's ships in the Mediterranean ; but we have hitherto
abstained from all notice of the subject, because we had no
wish to prejudge a question which we believed must necessarily
come under the cognizance of a Court Martial. We now
learn that the matter is to be hushed up. and that the Tory
interest of the Noble Captain has been strong enough to
screen him from all enquiry into his conduct. If the question
were one of a private nature, we should be content to let it
rest ; but as the honour and discipline of the Navy are con-
cerned, the public have aright to know why the enquiry has
not been gone into. We trust, therefore, some independent
Member will ask one of the very few Lords of the Admiralty
who have found their way into the present House of Commons,
whether any steps have been taken to enquire into the conduct
of Lord Ingestrie, respecting his conduct, when in the com-
mand of his Majesty's ship, towards Mr. Mortimer Drummond,
who, in company with Lord John Scott, was a passenger on
board his vessel. We refrain, at present, from entering into
the particulars of the conduct alluded to. We shall merely
observe that they amount to a very serious charge against
Lord Ingestr!e. Under such circumstances it becomes the
duty of some independent Member of Parliament to ask the
present Goverement whether it is intended to take any steps
against his Lordship ? We shall resume , the subject on a
future day.—Morning Paper.
THEATRICAL FRACAS.—A few evenings since
a fracas took place at one of the most popular metropolitan
theatres, between Mr. Y. and Mr. R., which has excited no
small degree of pleasantry and conversation among their
brethren of the sock and buskin. It appears t!•at Mr. R. kept 1
the audience waiting above half an hour, and when he did
make his appearance, it was but too evident that the "brandy
and water, cold—without " had so completely mystified his
ideas, that it was with difficulty lie could contrive to go
through his part. The manager, who had been irri-
tated during the piece; immediately on the fall of the Curtain
ran up to the delinquent, and in a burst of passion exclaimed,
" By heaven, Sir, you are ruining my business—you'll break
my heart, you will. I can't keep my hands off you any longer.
By heavens, I must pitch into you—so take that." With tbs.';
last expression, the comic Gentleman received a left-handed
hit, immediately below his dexter eye, which was instantly fol-
lowed
up by another blow in the vicinity of the previous one,,
and down went the culprit, who on rising from his prostrate,
position was expected to come to the scratch, and the manager-
consequently girded himself up for astien, at the same time
asserting, " You.know I eat° beat )"ou like a sack when ase

Lambton-castle, immediately after Easter. His Lordship is
quite recovered from the serious indisposition that occasioned
him to leave London, for the advantage of a more genial cli-
mate among his native hills.
His Majesty and the Court intended to leave town
on Saturday morning for Windsor Castle; but, in consequence
of the present state of the Ministry, that plan was obliged Id
be relinquished, and an express was sent to Windsor, where
the dinner had actually been ordered. The King and Queen
will remain at St. James's Palace for the present. Her Ma-
jesty was in her private box at the Italian Opera-House on
Saturday evening.
Lord John Russell's marriage with Lady Rihbles-
dale, is fixed, it is understood, to take place on Saturday
next, and the honeymen, it is understood, will be chiefly
passed at Woburn Abbey. Her ladyship is the relict of the
late Thomas, second Baron Ribblesdale, and daughter of the
late Thomas Listor, Esq., of Armytagc Park, by which No-
bleman she has an infant family of four children. Lady Rib-
blesdale is in her 28th year.
ALARM OF THE TORIES.--- 'PETER, APRIL 4.
The Tories of this city are in the most dreadful state of con-
sternation at this "beginning of the end," which the result of
the debate on the Trish Church question manifests. The ca-
tastrophe was anticipated before the news arrived, and meet-
ings_ were held to adopt some means of averting it if possible,
before the coach arrived with the glorious intelligence. At
these meetings an address was concocted in the usual hole-•:nd
corner style, requesting the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir
Robert Peel) not to resign, but to continue to hold office.to
the, emergency of the present tines. Parties of melan-
choly- men, with rueful faces and despairing looks, have been

school, and, by heaven, I can do it now." The Gentleman,
however, with the now comico-tragico sort of countenance,
was too far overcome with what he had taken both inwardly
and outwardly to face the enraged manager, and he waddled
into his dressing-room. On the following morning, the ma-
nager was called upon to make an ample apology, who for a
length of time refused to comply, but not being willing that
the party should carry his treat into execution of not again ap-
pearing on that stage, he consented to make the required re-
paration, and since that time we believe they are as good
friends as ever.—Morning Paper.
EXCUSES FOR DRUNKENNESS.—The following
are among the excuses which are made by the individuals when
brought before the magistrates at the different police-offices in
the metropolis, charged with being drunk in the streets. Many
of the excuses are made indiscriminately by both males and
females ; met a friend ; met my mother ; met my sister; have
been wounded in the head ; had a child die ; in very great
distress ; out of work ; broke my leg; very old ; an old sailor ;
an old soldier ; been out of place a long time ; just recovered
from a fit of illness ; been looking for work ; had a little
business to transact- with a friend; just come out of prison,
and very little liquor takes effect upon me ; had my brother
transported; my mother died; burnt out; very hungry ; had
a quarrel with my wife ; married the day before ; very hot
weather; very cold weather; been to a christening ; been to
funeral, &c. ; in short, it would appear from the statements
made, that there is not a single occurrence in life that is not
considered an excuse for this all besetting sin.
MR. RICHARDS, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITU-
ENTS.—We have received a letter from Knaresborough, ad-
dressed to Mr. Richards, by " One of the Forty" inhabitants
and electors by whom that gentleman was called on to resign
his seat. The letter is ably written, but too long for insertion
at this busy time. Besides, Mr. Richards is merely important
from the circumstance of his being a renegado. His speeches
are much improved by the Reporters, who, being obliged to
give only a tithe of the absurdities he utters, represent him
nine-tenths less absurd than he is. However, the Knares-
borough Correspondent states some facts in reference to Mr.
Richards' answer to the requisition, which we shall notice.
In the answer, he justifies his refusal to attend to the re-
quisition, because it was signed by only forty inhabitants
and electors out of a population of from 7,000 to 9,000.
" It is a fact (says the Correspondent), proved by a re-
ference to the Parliamentary Companion for 1833,' that
the population of Knaresborough, within the limits of
the borough, does not exceed 6,285, and the actual number
of electors who voted for you at the last election only
amounted to 134 ; therefore, it ill becomes you to speak so con-
temptuously of the forty, all your immediate supporters, and
which number might have been doubled had it not been
for a reason, known to yourself, and particularly to the inn-
keepers. Neither ought you to forget that had twenty of these
deserted you, you would not have had the opportunity and
audacity to set them at defiance but a more worthy and ho-
nourable man than yourself would have filled your seat in Par-
liament." The Correspondent observes farther, that at the
late election Mr. Richards referred to his conduct in the last
Parliament as a pledge for the future, and in his speeches
blamed the late Administration for not being sufficiently active
in pushing reform measures ; that he is now supporting an
Administration which has always resisted reform, and which,
if it could but muster a majority of renagadoes like himself,
would still continue to oppose every desirable improvement.
After this, what at an insult to common sense to pretend that
he has violated no pledge.—Morning Paper.
The courtesy of Mr. Justice Bayley, before he re-
tired from public life, has been often admired ; perhaps a hap-
pier compliment hks seldom been delivered from the Bench
than his Lordship once administered in the form of a gentle
rebuke, in the Court at the Northumberland Assizes, to Mr.
Grey the Barrister, son of the then Bishop of Bristol. Mr.
G. was chatting rather loudly with some other Counsel, when
Mr. Justice Bayley, who was summing up, observed—" Mr.
Grey, if ever you arrive, where I hope you will some day,
you will know the inconvenience of Counsel talking when you
are summing up."—Hants Advertiser.
CAPTAIN Ross.—Captain Sir John Ross, the
celebrated and intrepid navigator, was in Nottingham, on
Monday last on a visit to his old friend and shipmate Dr.
Manson. The ;Gallant Captain was accompanied by Lady
Ross. Sir John Ross, in compliment to his friend, has called
a cape, which he discovered in the Arctic Seas, Cape Manson

THE HORSE DARLINGTON.—The match to trot
this horse eighteen miles within the hour came off last week
between Retford and Doncaster, when the animal failed to
complete the task until five minutes beyond the hour. The
match was, that if the feat was completed, the horse should be
sold for 2,0001., but if not, that he should be sold for a shilling
to Mr. Brogden, of Manchester, the gentleman who made the
match with Mr. Marryatt, the owner of the animal. Since
the race the horse has been claimed for a shilling, and Mr.
Marryatt refuses to deliuer him. Au action at law is spoken
ipf, the result of which must of course depend upon the deci-
sion of the question whether the agreement was a bona fide
bargain or a gambling transaction.
The strong -feeling of abhorrence to Orangeism
which the attempt to unseat the Liberator has generated afresh
throughout the country, is evinced in a substantial and effective
manner in many places in this noble county.—Tipperary

A survey has been taken of the country between'
this town and Gosport, and also to Cosham, for the purpose of
forming a railway either to Gosport direct, or as near to Ports-
mouth as possible in connection v. iih the Southampton railway.

Society in New Orleans appears to l_K! engaged in
its usual divertisements. Mr. Caldwell's house was lately en-
tered by robbers through a back gallery, and every room
plundered—even the room in which Mr. C. slept was rifled,
and after loading themselves with booty, the robbers regaled
themselves with a gloss of wine, and departed unmolested.
On the same day of this transaction M. Balloco, one of the
oldest citizens, was stabbed mortally by a mulatto fellow, one
of his own slaves, and while the miscreant was perpetrating
the deed, a faithful negro, also a slave to Mr. 8., and who had
come to his assistance, fell a victim to the rage of the mur-
derer.-

THE HAND-LOOM WEAVERB OF LONDON.-
A general meeting of the parishioners of St. Matthew,
Bethnal-green, took place this day under the direction of the
Churchwardens, with the view of seconding the weavers in
their applic nto the Legislature for relief in their dread-
fully distresse ondition, which in that weaving district ne-
cessarily re-acts upon the inhabitants generally, particularly
shop-keepers, producing pauperism to a fearful extent, and
consequent increase of the parochial burdens. It may be re-
membered that in the last session of Parliament a Committee
of the House of Commons, appoieted to inquire into the con-
dition of the hand-loom weavers in different parts of the coun-
try, came to the conclusion that some measures of relief were
imperatively necessary in the existing distress, which they felted
more extensive even than i'epresented by the petitioners them-
selves ; hut without pointing out any specific mode of relief
they recoi..mended a renewal of the Committee in the present
session. The weavers of Spital-fields and Bethnal:weer' met
a few days since, and adopted a petition tg the House of
Commons, setting forth in very movingseterres the extreme
privation and distress to which they were reauceil in cense-
quence, as they allege, " of the present system of in lip i:foal
competition amongst the manufacturers with their labour, by
which the wages have been unnecessarily reduced to a mere
pittance ; so that they are placed in the anomalous condition
of enduring all the miseries of destitution when in full em-
ployment." They suggest, as the only remedy, an els:lament
for regulating and protecting the wages to be paid- for every
descript:en of hand-loom wcavicg. A similar petition will he
ealemitted to-day by the general meeting of perishieeers, who
necessarily participate in the distress felt by the weavers.

head of the skeleton was downwards, end Iv posture

PEDESTRIANISM.
(From the South African Commercial Advertiser. )
CAPE TOWN, Die. 17.—A feat of Pedestrianism was per—
formed on Friday, the 12th instant, which may deserve record
as a specimen of what may be done in spite of the thermometer
being 80 in the shade. A young gentleman, under 19 yearn•
of age, undertook for a trifling bet, in mid-day, to ascend Table
Mountain, 3,582 feet, and return ; to ascend the Lion's Rump,
1,143 feet, and return; and then to pass over the Kloot, and
round the Lion's Hill, to return by Green Point. The whole
on foot, and within nine hours. He started from the Buiten-
kant at 10, A. m., returned from Table Mountain at half-past
12 ; rested 15 minutes ; proceeded on his laborious task, and
completed it at a quarter past 5, say in seven hours and a half.
Such of our readers as are acquainted with the Cape of
Good Hope will be surprised at the feat above recorded. We
are told the pedestrian was Mr. George Thomson, the eldest
son of Colonel Thomson, Commanding Engineer. The per-
formance is unquestionably a very extraordinary one in such a
climate.

THE ROYAL .HUN7'.
The place of meeting on Friday was at Salthill, and some
time before the appointed hour to commence the chace a large
party sat down to a splendid breakfast at Botham's. The,
morning was one of the most inviting description, and an un-
usual number of sportsmen lined the road between the two
inns; upwards of 350 horses were counted just before the deer
wa.F ancarted. Among the company we noticed the Noble
Master (Lord Chesterfield), Lords Worcester, Wilton, C.
Wellesley, P. and A. Fitzclarence; the Austrian Princes, &c.
On being turned nut the deer, after a ring, passed Burnham,
crossed the Thames at Monkey Lland. Here Colonel Rowley
gallantly swam over also, and got well landed ; Mr. Vyse
(No. 3) also attempted to do :!'e same, but his horse, when in
the middle of the current, was frightened, and some fears were
entertained as.to their safety. They, hewever, safely arrived
once more on terra firma, but in the county. of Bucks instead
of Berks. To the Bridge (Maidenhead) was now the c; y,
when confusion confused was the case, for the " boy--wows"
were going their best pace after the deer, and by themseivc-,
with the exception of the Gallant Colonel and Tom Smith
(No. 2), who had anticipated the deer crossing; these two,
of course, had the first hour alone, the remainder of the field
toddling behind for some time. After crossing the water the
deer passed Fific,kl, New Lodge, Winkfield Park, Hawthorn-
hill, Bellingbear, Haines-hill, Sandford Mill, Woodley Park,
Bulmarsh Heath, Maiden Eiligh, and Arborfieid. Between
the latter and Swallowfield the good deer Chipperfield was
taken. Thus ended a most noble day's sport, as any one after
reading the foregoing can easily imagine. The horses,
amounting to no more than twenty-five at the finale, were
dreadfully beaten. Among those in at the take were Lords
Chesterfield, Wilton, Worcester, C. Wellesley, one of the
Austrian Princes, Messrs. Shakerley, Harvey Aston, M.
Stanley Seymour, &c. The run lasted for two hours and
three-quarters, and the popular and Noble Master was well
up throughout the chace.

Mr. De Burgh's Hounds afforded an extra day's sport to
the select few apprised of the meeting at Hillingdon on
Thursday. The day was propitious to every thing, save and
except hunting—a hot burning sun and a hard dry ground.
The start was made near Dr. Haller's park, through which
the deer passed an hour subsequently, and took refuge in a
pool. Being disturbed from its retreat, the poor animal took
to the rising ground, shortly followed by the hounds and
some twenty huntsmen. It was found in the park of Mr.
Cox lying dead, with a broken heart. Amongst the sports-.
men, who appeared one and all fatigued with their amuse-
ment, we perceived Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Marquis
of Douro, Sir S. Wombwell, Messrs. Rothschild, Goldsmidt,
Bainbridge, Learmonth, &c.

FRACAS BETWEEN THE PRINCESS G. AND MA-
nAmE -LE B. AT THE FRENCH COM/T.—ln a recent num-
ber of the Court Journal we alluded to a fracas which had
taken place at the last Carnival ball between two Russian
ladies, the Princess G. and Madame de M. We are now
enabled to lay the particulars of this quarrel before our
readers, ;vhich have been communicated to us by an eve-
withess. The Honourable Colonel C. has long been rumoured
to be the favourite cavalier of the beautiful Madame de M.
the Princess G. is reported to bare declared, in a large society,
her disapprobation of this intimacy, and the remarks of the
Princess soon came to the ears of Madame de M. This lady
said nothing ; her sister, Madame de S., who w•as just ar-
rived from -Russia, went up, at the Court Ball, to the Princess
G., and expressed, in no measured terms or gestures, her
anger at the Princess's meddling in her sister's affairs. The
Honourable Colf.nel was near, and endeavoured in vain to re-
stra;n the female champ ion of his lady-love. The Duke of
(Means separated the c.:l-11batants; and the Queen declared
she would never invite either of them to Court again.—Voirt
