HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.--A few days
back the East Sussex fox-hounds met at Eringhant Shaw
soon after half-past ten, and unkennelled almost the instant
after they had entered the wood ; in fact, as the dogs
pushed in the fox pushed out, and a busy and interesting
scene ensued. About forty prime sportsmen followed the
dogs, while at least sixty well-mounted gentlemen were
advancing leisurely, having no suspicion that they might
not arrive in time ; the latter, as they merited, lost the
pleasures of the chase altogether, which was one of the
prettiest and most rapid, with the scent breast high, that
has ever occurred in this part of the world. It was con-
tinued, without check, for sixty minutes, the fox having
taken to Postlade, the Tenantry Hills, and leaving the
Devil's Dyke to t e right, dipped below hill to Perching
Wood, threading the different covers with the skill of an
artist, and then scouring the country until he had reached
and entered Denny Park; there he saved his brush, owing
to a successor of the same family having claimed and re-
ceived the hostile attention of the dogs ; the latter, how-
ever, in a very few minutes, paid the full price of his teme-
rity, by yielding up his life. At Denny, where the foxes
changed sides, the only gentlemen up with the dogs were
Mr. CRAVEN, the conductor of the bunt ; Mijor WYND-
HAM, of the Scotch Greys; an Officer of the 15th Hus-
sars; Mr. CAMPION, jun. ; and Mr. SMITIIERS, of Pres-
ton. For some time after the above capital run pleasure
and chagrin seemed to go hand-in-hand; those who bad
enjoyed it exulted, while those whom imperative indolence
had kept back regretted their folly long after the remedy
was beyond their reach. The pack gave high satisfaction
on the occasion.

A gang of horse stealers. have, it is said,
Found their way to the Isle of Wight ; but how they are
to escape with their booty would puzzle a conjuror.

COMPARATIVE STRENGTH OF VARIOUS
SUBSTANCES.—The experiments of Mr. EMERSON give
the following results of the weight borne with safety by a
square inch of the respectivesubstances mentioned, viz.:—
Iron, 76,4001b5. ; brass, 35,6001b5. ; oak, box, yew,
plum, 7,8501b5. ; elm, ash, beech, 6,0701b5. ; walnut,
5,3601b5. ; red fir, holly, alder, ash, birch, willow,
4,2901h5. ; freestone, 9141b5. According to the experi-
ments on substances, the following are the lengths at which
the under-mentioned substances would break with their
own weight :—Cast steel, 39,455 feet; Swedish iron,
19,740 feet; English ditto, 16,938 feet ; cast iron,
6,110 feet ; cast copper, 5,003 feet; yellow brass, 5,180
feet ; cast tin, 1,496 feet ; cast lead, 384 feet ; good hemp
rope, 18,79) feet.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Monday after-
noon a man was seen struggling in that part of the Re-
gent's Canal that adjoins Kentish-town ; some boatmen
passing in if barge at the time, succeeded in extricating
him from his perilous situation, without his having suffered
in any way from his immersion, ()wept by being thoroughly
wet. The boatmen placed him upon the bank, near to
the Lock-house, and went away. Shortly after, a plunge
in the water was heard by the inmates of the lock-house,
drags were procured as quickly as possible, and after some
time the same individual who a few moments before bad
been saved from a watery grave, was taken out, with his
throat cut from ear to ear. It is haildly neees,ary to say,
that he was quite dead. The unfortunate man was taken
to St. Pancras work-house. His name was stated to be
Join; COOKS : he resided in Gee-street, Clarendon-square,
Somers-town,
