Hu xTrYll.;—Earl Fitzwilliam's Yorkshire Fox-hounds have
taken the field in high style, and Will continue to hunt, during.
the season, the country round Rainborough Park.
Sir Richard Puleston's Cheshire hounds have been much
strengthend since the last season, and have commenced hunting
three times a week.

We understand, from authority, that it is the
determination of his MAJESTY never, in future,
when there is a possibility of avoiding it, to tra-
vel on the Sabbath. ahus our good KING, while
he is solicitous for the moral 'and religious im-
provement of his subjects, does not hesitate to
impose equal, restraints on himself. It is the
wish of the Committee of the Vest Clilf im-
provements to procure for their new road for the
junction of the Cliffs, the honour of being open-
ed by his MAJESTY in person.- The works are
in a state of great forwardness, and are expected
to be finished early in November.—(B/ighton
Chronicle.)
WHIMSICAL CONTRIBUTION.--A benevolent
Quaker was lately applied to by a respectable
Gentleman, one of the society of WESLEYANS, for
the-purpose of soliciting a subscription towards
enabling them to complete a new Chapel, built
upon the scite of an old one ; but which could
not not be finished for want of funds. Obadiah
heard him very attentively ; at length breaking
silence with a deep groan,' he began thus, " I
tell thee what friend, my purse is always open
to succour the distressed, and to.do good to all
our own sect : but friend, my religion, thou
knowestoliffers from that of thine ; we do not
think thee right, and it is against our religion to
help others to build up Chapels, therefore, friend,
thou seest, I cannot assist thee." The Metho-
dist was about departing, and was nearly out of
the room, when the Quaker called him back.
" Hark'e, friend, how much bast thee laid out ?"
The Methodist replied, " sixteen hundred
pounds." " And how much more dost thou want
to complete it ?" " About fourteen hundred
more." " Well, friend, (said the Quaker,)' here
is one hundred pounds to defray the expenses of
pulling dozen the old Chapel."
