MELTON MOWBRAY, Nov. 3.

From all quarters we learn that the winter field sports
will this season be kept up with more than usual spirit;
and from the increased demand for hunters, priors have
risen considvrably. At Melton Mombray mere horses
have already arrived than during any former year at so
early a period of the season, and neatly all the stables are
already engaged.
The usual first meeting of the Quorndon Hounds, at
Kirby Gate, has been delayed for a week, in consequence
of Lord Southampton's unfortunately losing the services
of his two valuable whirs, one having fracture) his leg,
and another broken his oillar-bone lately in hunting.
Every where the fences are reported as remarkably blind
from the mildness of the season. _ _ _

Air. Ross has returned from Scotland, and his grand
match with Colonel Anson for 10001., which excites such
interest in the sporting world, takes place near Bardon-
mills, on Saturday next. On Monday last he cotatnetteaal
practising at partridges, on Lord Harborough'a preservel,
at Stapleford, but only bagged six brace, owing to the
shyui•ss of the bards. In Leicestershire little betting has
taken place either way ; but Colonel Anson, from his su-
periority in game-shooting, seems a decided favourite.

CITY BUSINESS.—The LORD MAYOR held
a Court of Aldermen yesterday, for the despatch of any
outstanding business. Mr. Sheriff Boone attending, made
the Reports upon the state of the several prisons. The
Inquest of Cheap Ward made a presentment of the great
evils and inconveniences arising from Mock Auctions,
which was referred to a Committee for consideration.—
Commissioners of the Court of Requests for the month of
December next were appointed. ileveral bills and accounts
were ordered for payment. Some persons were allowed to
be admitted brokers.

STATE OF TRADE. —There has been a fair
demand for Cotton this week at full rates ; and twist, both
mule and water for shipping, continues in very good re-
quest, at prices somewhat higher than prevailed a few
weeks ago, though not equal to the rise which has occur-
red in the raw material. For manufactured goods there is
constantly a large demand, but they Jo not partake of the
briskness which prevails in the twist m.erket. We have
not, however, heard of any decline in price.—Manchester
Paper.

When the manager of a theatre engaged the
celebrated composer SACCHINI to write an opera, he was
obliged to shut him up in a room, with his mistress and
his favourite cat, for without them at his side he could
do
nothing.—(N.B. This reminds us of the orator who could
never speak without a bit of thread in his hand, which
may not inaptly be called the bye-play of the mind.)
