HYDE PARK.—This favourite Sunday's resort was
yesterday, in spite of the unfavourable weather, more
' than usually attended. The crowd was greater than'
we have noticed on any preceding Sunday, although
it was nearly deserted by those of the higher class :
whether it was occasioned by their absence from town,
or dread of encountering the keen air of Hyde Park,
we are at a loss to determine. Among the equipagegl
present wore those of—
The Duchesses of Northumberland and St. Alban's, the MCI
thioness of Headfores and the Countesses of Cowper, Kin
and Cionmed ; Ladies Haggerstone, Heathcote, and Mulgrave.
The sleet, and unfavourable prospect of the approach-
ing evening, thinned the Park at an early hour.
ROYAL HUNT.—Further particulars of the Hunt
which took place on Thursday :—The Duke pr
CUMSERLAND was accompaniedby the Marquis CORN-
W ALLIS and Captain Vvse. The deer that was hunt-
ed is called the Hendon Deer, from the circumstance
of kis having given several excellent chases, and be-
ing taken at Hendon. He made 4 double back to-
wards Harrow Weal Common, where he was taken
in a small field belonging to the Marquis of Await,
coax, at Stanraore. This remarkable fine deer would
have been killed by a few hounds who were greatly
ahead of the rest, had it not bean for Mr. Mum, a
forward sportsman, who kept them off till the whip-
pers-in came up. The weather was very much
aga;nst the sport, the wind was very strong, and rain
or sleet fell the whole day. Most of the Uarses were
knocked up in the course of the chase, Five or six
came in without their riders. The country was so
much inclosed, that they could not make than. leaps.
As to-morrow's decision of the grand City scheine
is looked to with a general anxiety, suitable to the
real importance of the subject, this is likely to prove
a very busy day at all the Lottery Offices. Before i
they close this evening, not a Ticket or Share, most
probably, will be obtainable, It is sufficient only to
view the many capital Houses in Skinner and Pickett-
streets, determinable by to-morrow's drawing, and
particularly the magnificent Mansion, alone worth
24,0001. to warrao: these oburv4dona. -
