INDIA SPORTING lATELLIGENCE.

On Saturday, the 4th of May, the Bobbery Hunt,
met at the Rice d. at two o'clock,.to celebrate
the return of Nicholas H ucky Smith, the father of
the hunt, where a jackal' was unkennehed, which,
however, unfortunately sheaved but tittle diversion,
and was soon run down.

A large and beiutiftil stag, of the.sambre or elk
breed, was afterwards turned off, who after some
little hallooing and cracking of whips, went iaway
in gallant style taking across the bailee fields
towards Phipp's oart, but having been too much
pressed by some of the younger sportsmen, crossed
the- race ground, and frocrt thence to the new road
across the flits, vyhen he turned to the right, 'and
made for Herman's oart,,flying the well-known ►A all
that surrounded it in superior style.
Here he alarmed a convivial party of Parsecs who
were regaling thernselveS, and notwithstanding- the
length of the chase, and the formidable at ray before
him,
.the undaunted annimal in the most sport-
ing manner cleared their table without breaking
a single glass, cliatiged the'opposite wall in evally
gallant style, and took towards Randal's lodge r-
dens.

He was soen, however, dislodged from this retreat,
and went away toward; the breach j -but being .
headed, turned to the left, leaped a garden vt all
of six feet, and faced Malabar Hill ; where he
was taken unhurt, after sheaving excellent sport,
and blowing some of the best horses in . the 6eld,
4-Icing now again bard pressed, tie took shelter in
a hut, to tie great annoyance of an i,hl woman, its
solitary inhabitant, whb.made her exit through the
roof in an instant, and shewed her agility in t man-
ner, quite dispr, pori ioned'to her years. •
The diversion of the day did not end here. Thos-
unacbuainted with the sport 'may smile ; yet ;hose
who have experiences the capital runs at-forded by a
paristidog,
,aid base had an opportUntry- of draw-
ing a comparison between them and the In, re re-
gular sports of the field, will not disdairOo be toll:
that the party rode down two of those flevt arid
subtle. animals, atter -shewilig. more diversion' and
gOod running, than is generally, experienced in the
'higher s yles of hunting in this country.—(l3o,hbuy

HACIOTgY-COACHMEN.-A matter somewhat in-
teresting to the vublic was decided before the Com-
missioners last Friday. .A gentleman sumrircned a
coachman for taking 3s. (H, for 'an eighteenpently
fare. .The driver in his defence-said, that 23. of ht
charg4 was for a glass broken in front of his Coach.
The complainant positively swore, • that the gLiss
was not broken by him, and'that he had every rea-.
son to believe that it v.as done by the driver wit:t
the buttend of [U.S whip. ,The Commissiondrs, upoir
hearing the whole of the case, hued the coachman
in ios. penalty:
A smatt shock of an earthquake was on the o'b
tilt, felt at Boston, Salem, Exeter, Newbury-port,
;10 other places in Mass3claisetts :it:lk.. At
ton it was so severe as to stop the clocks. • •
