_SINGULAR FLIGHT OP PARTRIDGES.—On. Monday
evening, Mr. H. Carter, landlord of the Malt-shovel, Lisson-grove.
whilst standing at his door with some friends, observed a covey of
partridges upon the wing coming in a direction from Barnet. After
hovering for some time over the street, they descended, to the
lumber of ten, at a short distance from Mr. Carter's. A Mr.
Thoraason# a pork butcher in the neighbourhood, who had observed
the circumstance, succeeded in securing two, and Mr. Carter and ib
friend captured six ; the rest were picked up by two grooms. The
birds, from their appearance, bad evidently come a considerable dis-
tance.

TOURNAMENT BETWEEN THE PRESS AND THE
BAlL—This tilting match, or tourney, has been' carried on for some
time between the Press and the Bar ; but ithas at length ended in the
utter prostration of the latter. The tournament took its rise from the.
feudal system, and a few dull barristers have entered into the tourner
with a most congenial spirit. Geoffrey of Proudly introduced the tour-
nament into Western France ; but Briefiess, of Pump-court, het
the merit of introducing it into the Western Circuit. The encounter
was very fierce, and the pen, used as a lance, completely triumphed
over the stick, which is the emblem of many a barrister. The pub-
lic has watched the progress of the combat from time to time, an.,
oar cartoon will therefore tell its own story. The Bar has been cow.
pletely beaten, and has retired from the lists in conlbsien,--Puach.
