missed his third and ninth birds, co that Hampshire won by
one bird only. The parties made another match for the srai:e

CANADIAN HORSES.—The- hardy Norman race in this.
Province has long been remarkable for vigour and persever
ance ; qualities, of which the following seems a sufficiently
strong example :—A Member of our House of Assembly, with
a companion, driver, and baggage, -set out•from Quebec, in a
one-horse carriole, ast Sunday morning at nine o'clock, and
arrived in this city on Tuesday at about three in the afternoon.
As they did riot hurry their meals, curtail their rest, nor travel.
later than seven in the evening, it may be fairly computed that
they did not ddvote to the'journey more than half of the twenty-
four hours, and consequently accomplished the distance (IiJO
miles) in twenty-seven hours, without changing horses. If, in
addition to this,_ it be considered that eighty miles- of the road
had been, by the moist weather, rendered very heavy for a win-
ter carriage, and that the travellers did not cross hake St. Pe-
ter, by which the route would have been considerably shorten-
ed, we shall not, we imagine, be considered singular in regard-
ing the performance as one of no ordinary character.—(Qu
DEC GAZETTE.)

Early on Wednesday morning a party of con-
victs were sent off from Newgate, in the usual
caravan, for Portsmouth, under the necessary
escort. While changing horses at Cobham, one
of the thieves contrived to purloin the great coat
of one of the post-boys, who followed and succeed-
ed in recoveriug his property.
