A piece of wadding from one of the guns fired in
the Park yesterday, on occasion of the REGIINT'S
Birth-day, struck a boy on the eye, who was standinv
on the lawn, and so seriously injured him that'
was taken to the Westminster Infirmary.—Conside,
table alarm was occasioned by some of the lighted
wadding communicating to the dry grass, which
spread with great rapidity. By the aid, however, of
a number of buckets of water, it was extinguished,
without causing much mischief.

SPORTING.—Yesterday Grouse shooting tom.
menced. It appears by accounts received tnat the
game has not bred well. In regard to Partridge-
shooting, the lateness of the harvest will not allow
its beginning, even in the South, before the 14th of
September ; and in the North, before the end of the
month. The broods are reported to be numerous,
I though not forward; the same is said of the phea•
:ants.
