, Hu T 1/cp.—Mr. FARiavHAßsoN's celebrated pack of Dor-
Setshire Fox.•hounds will meet on Tuesday the 3d of April, at
Delmore,: near Steerrninster Newton, in the vale of Blackmorc,
and ten miles from Blandford.

. . .
On Thursday, the 20th instant, was witnessed one of the
finest and best contested steeple races ever run in the County of
Westmeath, or perhaps in any other county in Ireland. The
colase commenced about 3 miles from Killucan, at 13allykillen,
and concluded at Balreagh, the distance being four miles,
and the course containing twenty river leaps, many of which
before the race were considered impracticable.—A hand-
some silver cup; given by the Members of the Killeitlan Club,
was the prize, which was won in superior style by Mr. Bris-
coe's Caroline-(rode by Mr. Williams), beating Mr. Dapping's
Wire, Mr. Mackinavy's Ticklepitcher, Mr. Itynd's Buona-
parte, ,Mr. Purdon's Ranunculus; and Mr. Webb's Meg Mer-
. rilies, and Lancer, carrying 12 stone. The course was rode in
twelve minutes and a 114.11; and, taking into consideration the
heaviness of the ground, occasioned by the late rains, it may be
asserted, there never was an. equal distance, under equal disad- j
vantages, run over in so.short- a time. Although the day was
rather unpropitious, the race course was crowded with all the
fashion and beauty of Westmeath ; and it was only to be re-1
gretted that a ball had not been appointed at Killikcan, in order
that the day might have concluded with the same hilarity to
the ladies which its commencement had afforded to the gentle-
men.—(Hibernian Journal.)

EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES. On Thursday Mr.
BET.ZONL invited a small party of scientific. per-
sons to witness the opening and unfolding of a
mummy, and to. view some other Egyptian cu-
riosities,,previously to his completion of the in-
teresting fac-simile of the Tombs, which he is
preparing at BULLOCK'S Museum. Dr. 13,tutrt,
and the other Most distinguished anatomists, were
present. The subject appeared to be the re-
mains. of a young man ; the mummy measured
four feet nine inches; it was perfect in every
part, and the linen in which it was rolled Was
still fresh and sound. Mr. BELzoNt also un-
rolled the mummy of a monkey, one of the idols
worshipped by the Egyptians, which was also
perfect. The company had an opportunity of
inspecting a variety of the curious relics which
this indefatigable traveller has rescued from obli-
vion, and of seeing the
,progress of his intended
Exhibition, which will be most curious, as it will
convey to every spectator a view of the tombs,
in a way. much more satisfactory than any de-
scription could -convey. The figures are all as
large as in . the original ; and to prove that the
colours are as vivid as the original, portions of the
original are also brinight home to be presented
'to the eye in comparison with the fitc-simile imi-
tations. It will. afford a complete idea of the
state of_ the a_ its in Egypt at that early period of
the- world.

A PAurrit's WARDROBE.—The guardians and
overseers of the p.oor of the parish of Wolborough,
Newton Abbot, in prosecuting their official duties
at the workhouse., a few days since, discovered
that an tumate, who had been supported by the
parish for many years, had no less than six gowns,
seven aprons, eight habit shirts, one muslin tippet,
ten muslin caps, 16 fancy-worked and others six
shawls, a siTyer watch, three pair of white stock-
ings,"two black ditto, a new pair of stays, a consi-
derable number of muslin frills, a silk and other
handkerchiefs, With_ various_ other articles, (be-
sides the dress sh© then wore) and . fourteen
shillings in cash:

Mis; ltAnronn, the young Lady who acciden-
tally received a pistol-ball in the eye, as we
have. already mentioned, is expected to recover,
but the eye, behind which the.ball lodges, is en-
tirely lost. The baa can never be extracted,

To let thy genius wing its flight
