Homanass.---We have had most excellent sport
these two days past with Sir M. M.. Sykes's and Mr.
Watts's fox-hounds, viz. Monday and Tuesday* the
12th and 13th. On Monday two, if not three, horses
died from excess of fatigue, after three runs, two of
them severe: and yesterday, Tuesday, we had one of
the most extraordinary runs these hounds have ever
known. We had a good run from Burton Constable,
and killed, after a sharpish business of six or seven
miles. We afterwards tried two covers, without
finding; but at last had a beautiful find'at Ringbo.
rough, near Aldborough, and went away most gal-
lantly, on the highest-scenting day we have had this
season.—At first the fox took to the northward, and
afterwards made a circle, and then took off to near
Burton Pidsea, and across Keying/un Drain to
Halsham, Ottringham Church Lands, and to Wine.
stead, without a check, where we were obliged to
give it up, at near five o'clock, in Colonel Maister's
plantations. We had three or four fallows to cross
before we got to the road, the dogs could not get fast
across them, and the scent was then become coldish, ,
and it was getting dark, so that we called the hounds
off. There are more foxes in 14olderriess than eves
was remembered. You may conjecture there were
not many of the field with the hounds when they got
to Halsham, nor until they gave up : several were
tired, and the hounds a great distance from their ken-
nel. The hunt has been accompanied by a very large
assemblage of gentlemen sportsmen from every part
of the neighbourhood ; and we learn that some days
not less than '2OO horsemen have taken the field.

The American ship Union, the arrival of whin
from L'Orient at Plymouth we noticed a few days
ago, has had a guard placed on hvr, by order of the
Port-Admiral at Plymouth. The Union has, eigl.t
passengers on hoard, for America ; some of them are
Frenchmen. The Captain only waits for Mr. PINCK-
NEY'S dispatches, with which he will set sail for Ame
rica about the end of this week.

Extract of a letter from on board the Mu_sctuta o
sloop of war, dated Yarmouth, December 16.—" We
left Heligoland on the 13th in a violent gale. On
Tuesday the 6th, twenty-four merchant vessels were
stranded or driven out to sea: of the latter, frinn no
information having yet been n ceiv _4l it is £ arf, I ome
have foundered.

We stated formerly, that on Tuesday the II th
November, a sloop-rigged vessel was seen to go down,
at the distance of about a mile from the entrance of
the harbour of Montrose, and no information has
since been obtained to what port this vessel belonged.

Sunday mqrning the body of a man named Cook,
well known about the streets as a vender of pamph-
lets, being nearly bliad, and remarkable for his extra-
ordinary gait, an,d exhibiting every appearance of an
idiot, was found frozen in a ditch near Battle Bridge.
Notwithstanding the unpromising appearance of this
man's exterior, such was his political attachment to
Sir F. Buttort,r, that he was nicknamed after him,
and, having a small freehold, never failed to vote for
his favourite, while a candidate for Middlesex.
Tuesday morning last, about two o'clock, the in•
habitants of Penzance were alarmed by the cry °fire
which proved to be on board the True Briton trader,
Thomas master, then lying in the Pier, and which at
first threatened all the vessels around her : but was
happily confined to this vessel, and extinguished them,
yet not without doing considerable damage to her and
her ergo. It appears to have been accidentally kin-
dled by a candle carried on board by a young man
who belonged to her. who, being rather intoxicated,
had fallen asleep in the Forecastle, Without extinguish-
ing it, and who perished in the flames !

A fire In-oke out at ten o'clock on Sunday night,
at the house of Mr. HEND, at Wcstdcan, near Cole-
brook, which was attended witlemelancholy circum-
stances.•-,fMr. and • Mrs. H. were on a visit about a
mile from home whcor the fire broke out, and before
they couli arrive the huuse was consumed, and a little
boy, four years of age, was burnt to death. It was
occasioned by the maid-servant leaving a candle too
near the bed-curtains, when she bad put the child to
bed, wit/ *as aften%ards burnt. The distress of th
parents is beyond description.
THE NEW BIBLE.--A few years ago the curiosity
of the public was drawn-towards the splendid edition
of the Holy Scriptures, announced by the late Mr.
Macklin. This work was to exhibit the triumph of
the Typographic and Graphic Arts, and it will un-
questionably tong do honour to the age which pro -
dused and encouraged it. A work of not less im-
portance, but of less splendid pretensions, which has
long been in preparation, will claim the attention of
the public on the first day of the new year. .We
mean the Bible of Mr. HEWLETT, a Gentleman dis-

tinguished by the learning with which lie vindicated
the Parian Chronicle ; by his eloquent sermons, de-
livered at the Foundling ; and by the superior taste
and elegance which he manifested in his Lectures on
the Belles Lettres, at the Royal Institution. This
new edition of the Bible does not dazzle us by its
magnitude and costliness, but it claims attention from
the circumstance of the Editor's appropriating for its
embellishment, the best designs of the great Masters
of the various Schools of Painting, and for this pur-
pose our first Engravers have, for a considerable time,
been put in requisition. it likewise claims attention
from the prospect of its containing a superior body of
Illuitration, divested of dogmas and controversy.—
For this purpose the Editor, whose taste cannot be
questioned, has compiled his notes from all the best
Commentators, and printed them with their respec-
tive authorities, in the manner of the Variorum Clas-
sics, subjoining his own opinions, as often as can be
introduced with good effect. This Bible may, there-
fore, be said to combine most, if not all, the advan-

cages of former Editions, namely, the best and most
useful body of notes, the most classical embellish-
menu, and moderation of size and price, which can-
not fail to obtain for it a universal currency in Fa-
n milies and Libraries. It may not be improper, for
the information of thefriendsof the late Dr. GREGORY,

to sate, that this Bible is on the plan of that which
was proposed to be published by that Gentleman,
and which was long announced previously to his
death. His notes were, however, left in too scattered
a 'smt to be of any service, but some of the plates
, which had been engraved in his lifetime, will be ut•
troduced lute the present Work.
