COURT OF,SESSION. •
Yesterday, an application was made to the Lord
Ordinary, by bill of suspension, in the name of cer-
tain persons styling themselves Office-bearers of the
Canongate Kilwinning Lodge, holding of the Grand
Lodge of Scotland, against certain other persons
calling themselves the Office-bearers of the same
Lodge, but who had withdrawn themselves from the
Grind Lodge, praying for an interdict against them,
to prevent them from meeting as a Lodge, to cele-
brate the approaching festival of St. Andrew. Upon
hearing Counsel, the Lord Ordinary took the cause
to report, and this day it was accordingly reported
to the Judges of the first division of the Court.
The application proceeded upon an Act of Parlia-
ment passed in the year 1797, entitled, " An Act
for preventing Seditious Meetings ;" but an objection
hatving been stated by the respondents to this libel of
the suspenders, the Court, upon hearing Counsel,
were unanimously of opinion, that the application for
an interdict should be refused, and the bill to be an-
swered in common form.
This is a case of considerable interest td the Free
Masons of Scotland. Two other bills of suspension
were at the same time presented against the St. Da-
vid's and St. Andrew's Lodges ; but the procedure
in these will be regulated by that against the Canon-
gate Kilwinning.

Fox HUNTING.—The Duke of Gmfton's fox-hounds,
in Northamptonshire, had, on Friday last, a most bril-
liant day's sport. At half past ten o'clock the hounds
came to Green's Norton, where they were met by the
Earl of Euston, Lord Southampton, Lord John Fitz-
roy, and a long train of distinguished sportsmen. After
trying the osier bed without success, a fox was found
in a piece of furze adjoining. He broke covert in a
most gallant form, and although he was followed by
upwards of a hundred sportsmen at starting, yet his
game and goodness allowed only four to witness his
death. This run, which exceeds almost any of lite
days, was one hour and twenty-five minutes, without
even the smallest check, and the whole time at the
very best pace. Mr. Lindon, Tom Ross, the hunts-
man of these hounds, Mr. Ambrose, and Colonel
Royston, were the only persons who were with the
hounds for the last three quarters of an hOur, the pace
and the strength of the fences having beaten the rest
of the field. The above, however, were all in toke-
ther when the fox was killed, after running a space of,
near thirty miles, in Blakesley-Hall stable-yard. Mr.
Lindon, who, in Northamptonshire, and Licestershire,
is le Dieu de la Chasm, declares, that he never rode such
a chace, although he was mounted on his famous
horse the Clipper:
Saturday evening, at nine o'clock, Mr. Thomas, a
tradesman in the City, for a wager of ten guiness, un-
dertook to go on foot from St. John's-street, West
Smithfield, to Highgate, and back again, in one hour
and ten minutes, the whole distance being eight miles
and an half, which he lost by two minutes.
Tuesday se'nnight, a person engaged in digging
near the entrenchments which surround the castle at
Bourn, in Lincolnshire, discovered a small urn, con-
taining upwards of sixty Roman coins. One of them
is an aural: of NERO ; the others are denarii and ,sterol
Of CONSTANTINE, AUGUSTUS, and MAXIMILIAN.

A young woman, with aii infant child, two months
old, at her breast, was found dead on Saturday morn.
ing early, at the corner of a bye lane, leading from
Edgeware to Beaconsfield ; and is supposed to have
died through fatigue and hunger. The infant, which
was alive, and excited the alarm which led to the dis-
cover), of its situation, was conveyed to a neighbour-
-hag house by Ascot, a waggoner, who found it, and
is likely to do well.
In the neighbourhood of Pateley Bridge, on the 16th
ult. part of the roof of a lead mine unexpectedly gave
`way, and, falling upon Christopher King of Bewerley•
crushed him to death. He has left a disconsolate
widow and several small children. When the melan-
choly intelligence was coi*nunicated to Mi. Ann
Tomling of Bewerley, the mother-in-law of the de-
ceased, it produced so severe a 'bock as to occasion
her death the same dap.
A most unfortunate affray took place upon the
streets of Greenock, on Wednesday night, which re-
sulted in the death of Donald M'lntyre, late hostler
at the Tontihe Inn, here, an obliging, inoffensive,
and worthy character, who has left a wife and three
children. He was just able, from the loss of bl ... ,
to reach his own house, became immediately in •,. i-
hie, and died in half an hour. Four young men are
in custody, charged with having been actors or ac-
complices—and a precognition is going on before the
Magistrates ; which suggests- the propriety of our
;bstaining, for the present, from further particulars.
. A pocket book, containing upwards of 601: in
,00tes, which was left in the mail coach between Can-
terbury and Dover, on Saturday night, has been ac-
cidentally found in the yard of the Angel inn, in the
an Strd, having been thrown out of the coach toge-
ther with the straw.
On the night of Monday last, three horses were
stolen from Cambridgeshire, the property of wealthy
farmers ; they traced them to the town of Cambridge,
and from thence set off in two post-chaises, and took
the two roads towards London. The horses were
otraced to Waltham-Cross, whence, it was concluded,l
the robbers had taken a cross road to get into London.
The farmers then went to Bow-street Office, and gave
a particular description of their horses and the robbers,
and ordered hand-bills, offering a reward of twenty
guineas upon recovery of their property, and convic-
tion of the offenders. Having received private infor-
mation that some horse-stealers had got a stable fitted
up in Duck-lane, Westminster, as a receptacle for
stolen horses, they went there, and found three men
answering the description of the robbers, in the stable,
taking care of three horses, resembling those stolen ;
they of course took the men into custody.
The case has since undergone several investigations
before Sir WILLIAM PARSONS, at Worship-street Of-
fice, who has committed the prisoners to take their
trials at the next Assizes for the. Isle of Ely.
