EXTRAORDINARY SPORT.

On Tuesday last, Sir A. Chichester's hounds met at
Dulverton, to run a stag. It was at first intended to try
Haddon covers, but on intelligence of a good stag at Hawk-
ridge, this was abandoned. The pack were then moved
to Hynam, and two couple of hounds taken to the potatoe
gardens, in which the deer was supposed to have fed ; on
reaching the wood close by, they soon acknowledged the
scent, and carrying it to the Dunsbrook, hit him across,
and presently roused him in Whiterocks. At first he
took the top of the cover, but soon turned down, crossing
the Dunsbrook and the river Buie into Mounsey Castle;
here the pack were laid on, when they immediately found
another stag, who beat the covers so as completely to dis-
turb them. The consequence was, the division of the pack
into four parts, each having a deer. A fine hind with
one portion took the moor, but was so hard pressed, as to
be obliged to give it up, and make for the river, which she
reached just under Withpoo!e, and was run into about a
mile from that village. Sir Arthur was with this part of
the pack, and at first ordered that she should be preserved
on account of her calf; but as she proved a barrener, and
not expecting any other death, and deer so plenty, she was
killed. On reaching Dulverton, it was discovered that a
brace of stags had fallen victims, one of them the fattest
killed for the last sixteen years. It was impossible to pre-
vent the destruction, the hounds having severely wounded
them. To the true sportsman this was any thing but a
good day's :sport ; but the pedestrians, who always muster
strong in that part of the hunting district, were never so
highly gratified.—Bath Herald.

ROBBERY AT THE BETTING ROOMS.-
At the Mansion-house, yesterday, after a third examina-
tion, the Mayor and Magistrates have again remanded
THOMAS JENKINS, as the principal in the above robbery.
The whole of the parties concerned are well known to the
police. OwElr CHARLEY is in custody at Birmingham,
and our chief officer, Mr. Trmars, is gone there to bring
him before the Mayor. We refrain from publishing the
evidence, fearing it might frustrate the ends of justice.
From the evidence, however, it appears that THOMAS
JENKINS was, some months ago, waiter at the George
Inn, Lichfield, where he was apprehended for passing
counterfeit sovereigns, and is extensively connected with
burglars and house-breakers. Latterly he was in the ser-
vice, as head-waiter, of the keeper of that notorious flash-
house, opposite Drury-lane Theatre. We are warranted
in believing, that the police are in the right pursuit of the
stolen property.—Doncaster Gazette.

The cotton manufacture in this quarter since
last notice has not much varied; however, intelligent men
in the business, without venturing to state any decided
amendment, consider that the crisis is past, and that the
prospects of the master cotton spinners ate a shade
brighier. The strike of the Lancashire spinners has
tended to clear the market. In Manchester and Salford
there are at present 1,200,000 spindles silent. In this
neighbourhood there was not a mill built this )ear ; and
there are six or seven works that, from various causes,
have for some time ceased working. This diminution of
the usual quantity of cotton-twist manufactured in Eng-
land and Scotland has nearly cleared the market of su-
perfluous stock, and more than one work has in conse-
quence recommenced spinning full hours.— Glasgow
