STAG HUNT.

On Tuesday last . the Hon. Grantley Berkeley's Stag
Hounds met at Dawley Wall, where a fine baldfaced stag
was found for the day's diversion. After running with
great speed for an hour and a half, on the Hounds coming
up with him he attempted to clear an iron fence at Hamp-
ton, when one of the spikes entering his heart, the fine
animal fell a victim to his staunch pursuers. Among
those who were close up at the time and had to regret the
death of the noble game, were the Earl of Belfint, Lords
Kinnaird and E. Chichester, and the Messrs. Berkeley.

SHIP LAUNCH AT FLINT.—O►► T!►ursday
last, the 7th inst. a handsome schooner, called the Flint
Castle, was launched at Flint, being, we believe, the first
vessel ever launched there. Ilcr length on the deck is 65
ft. in., breadth 17 ft. 2 in. and burthen per register
nearly 85 tons. She is a beautiful specimen of naval ar-
chitecture, and does great credit to the enterprising and
tuuch-respected owner, T. EYTON, Esq. Pen y Palmant.

LOSS or TIIE CLYDE, SLOOP.—A sloop
called the Clyde, Jomisrow, master, 78 tons burthen, laden
with flour and wheat, and bound from Cork to Glasgow,
was wrecked on Sunday night, on that part of the coast off
Tramore, where the Aurora ?) lately perished. The crew
were all saved. Of her cargo, about 200 bags of flour and
wheat, in a damaged: state, were saved. The hull and
some Materials were sold yesterday, for the benefit of the
underwriters—the sloop and cargo having been insured.—

The schooner Fancy, ItiTcHIE, of and for
Dundee, from Newcastle with coals, in taking the river Tay
on the night of Saturday last, with a strong south easterly
wind, was enveloped in a thick drift of snow, Which totally
obscured the lights at the entrance. The vessel was then
anchored i❑ four fathoms water, but the gale continuing
with great violence, she drifted on the sand called the Elbow
End, where the situation of the crew became perilous in the
extreme. Two of them were washed overboard and
drowned, while the three remaining, namely, the master, a
seaman, and a Danish boy, clung to the rigging, where they
remained for nearly twelve hours of that dark and tempes-
tuous night. On Sunday morning, their situation was de-
scried by some Broughty Ferry fishermen, who fearlessly
put off and rescued the hapless seamen from their awful si-
tuation, bringing them ashore, to appearance more dead
than alive.—Aberdeen Chronicle.

SHERIFF'S FUND.—Yesterday a public meet-
ing of the friends and supporters of this Fund (instituted
twenty years since, for the purpose of reclaiming criminals
more especially juvenile ones) took place at the London

the Chair. During,the meeting letters of apology for their

Mr. PEEL, but enclosing each the sum of 20 guineas.. Mr.
HUNT also announced himself as an annual subscriber, and
proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs. F& and the Society of
Females, which much astonished that worthy lady, who
asked hint if he was in earnest. The subscriptions of the
day amounted to 3601., after which thanks were voted to
the Chairman, and the meeting dispersed.-

On Thursday a man was killed in Ballybricken
by the falling of a chimney, which he had foolishly wagered
that he would knock down with one blow of a stone. He.
aimed too truly, and being directly under the chimney,,
paid the forfeit of his life for his temerity.—Tipperary

A few days ago a mechanic, at Witavra,-iiiite
Middlewich, being ill, and unable to attend his work as
usual, his wife reproached hint bitterly, and in the course
of the altercation that ensued, worked herself into a
furious passion, venting the tuost horrible and blasphemous
imprecations on the poor roan. Among the rest, she
wished " he might be plungedinto the lowestpit of h—lt."
and said she "'would not mind:going half way to take him
there !" In the midst of this demoniacal phrensy, she
suddenly lost the use of her sight and PPeech, became
almost completely paralysed, and died iu a few hours after-

ANOTHER' BANK ROBBERY.—«'e have
just heard of a robbery which was perpetrated on Sunday
last, on the bank of Messrs. WATERS and Co., Swansea.
The particulars of this affair have not yet publicly tran-
spired ; but the amount stolen is said to be 20,0001., of
which 10,0001. is in specie. The depredators were traced
to Bristol by some gentlemen connected with the hank.—
Yesterday afternoon the gentlemen arrived in this city, but
failing in their endeavours to find the thieves, they set off
to London by the evening coach. In the evening some
police officers from Bristol arrived here ; and having
learnt that a post-chaise and four had been ordered out
from a respectable inn in this city by four persons, and
that it had taken the road to Tetbury, the officers imme-
diately went in pursuit. —Bath Gazette.

SUPPOSED MURDER.—During the whole of
yesterday, the Police Criminal Officers were on the alert,
but without success, in order to apprehend NEIL AaNarr,
journeyman wright, who resides in the Drygatc, and who,
it is reported, murdered his wife on Monday morning.
ARNO'TT and his wife were both addicted to the excessive
use of ardent spirits, and the general opinion is, that while
in that state he committed the deed which we are about to
state. Between the hours of three and five o'clock on
Monday morning the neighbours were alarmed with the
cries of " don't murder me—don't murder Inc," apparently
accompanied with heavy blows. Nothing further tran-
spired till the morning, when one of their children, a boy
about four years old, came to one of the neighbours? about
eight o'clock, and requested her to put on thi fire, as her
mother was unwell, and his father had gone' o prison.
This neighbour instantly went, and on examining the
bed found Mrs. Aastorr quite cold and apparently
dead for some hours-. The alarm was instantly given,
and the children of Auxoxr, a boy and girl; the former
four and the latter two years of age,
were interro ated,
when the brit stated. that his father went out at ,ix
o'clock and was going to prison. These 'are ,the
g
only authentic particulars of this horrid affair, yet trams
pired. The body *as, during the' day, pot into a coffin
and conveyed to the police-office for a judicial examination,
lwhich is to take place • this day. Aussorr sinnetitne, ago
