FOX HUNTING.

The Pembrokeshire lux-bounds met on Thursday last, at Pit'.
ton Castle, attended by a numerous field, when a gallant fox broke
away with sixteen couple of the hounds close at his brush, 'and after
a severe chase of an hour and a half without a check, on a difficult
country of more than fifteen miles, he was run into, attended by
Tom Reynolds, the whipper, only ; the rest of the Ninwods were,
here, there, everywhere, nowhere!
The Fast Soma Fox-hounds, which met at Clayton Holt, had
some sport on Thursday. They unkennelled is a gorse field, called
the Hassocks, and reynard, thence, took for Clayton Holt, on for
Clayton Mill, and, bearing to the left, passed through the kodge
Farm, to the Weald, and reached Warren Gower Wood. nurn
the latter he sprung for Coq* Place ; but, being beaded, went di.
rest northward, for Biackhrook cover, which he threaded, and
bounded for the north side of Ditchling Common—doubled it, and
took for the Hundred Acre Wood, the property of Mr. Lane; but
where, the scent becoming cold, the dogs were caUed off, after a
chase of au hour and 45 minutes, The diversion, however, was
more in perseverance than sharp running.

WESTMIN)TER IMPROVEMENTII.—The onlytwo houses
which abutted on that ancient site, called " the Sanctu-
ary," at the upper end of Prince's street, leading to
Tothill-street, age at length levelled with the ground.
Workmen are also employed in preparing the founda-
tion of the intended new Parliamentary Mews, by lining
the excavations with lime, in order to ensure its dryness
and durability. It is understood, that in addition to
the improvements thus proceeding in this part of the
metropolis, there will presently be another new Square
fairing the northern side of the Abbey, and correspond-
ing in same degree with the fine enclosure which tuns
parallel with the entrance to the Sessions House. The
houses at present in Gardener's-line, together with many
now standing in King-street, are likewise to come down.
Yesterday evening, as a man was tarrying a pitcl.er
of water, in Fenci.urch-street, a one-horse cart, crossing
from Mark-lane to Buliter street, ran against him, what
'the wheel went over his body. He was taken to the
Magpie and Punch Bowl public-house, but was found
to be quite dead. The driver of the cart assisted him
to the public-hi/use, but finding the melancholy fact) ke
decamped ; and as neither the name net Slumber warp
taken, it is not known who the driver is. •

'tops still will mount; no timorous ham
Her purpose can beguile;
And. if she weeps. those short-lived tears
Will brighten to a smile !
So the gay sky-lark. soars and sings.
To hall the orb of day ;
And even the dews that wet her wings.
Soon glitter in his ray I
