HUNTING..

His Majesty's stag-hounds rspea on Friday, at Iver Reath.
The Wanipshire Hunt, to-ntorrow, at Huntley kennel ; and
Wednesday, at Farley Church. •

aftlalM—The Brighton 1111;J dosed their diversion for the
season, on Friday; and to mark which occasion. a doe was turned
nut in the morning, at the DeVil'i Dyke, but which. contrary to
hope and expectation, produced no sport; the animal, in fact, tv-
fustd to seek safety in flight, consequently the dogs were not put on.
Friday se'onight, a scene, unprecedented in the annals of fqx
hunting, presented itself at Chaffcombe Wood (belonging to Earl
Poulett), near Chard. It having been previously announced that
Mr, Farquharson's celebrated fox-hounds intentitd draWing Chat':
combe Covert, at half-past ten o'clock, a conceibrie of persons as-
sembled, mounted and dismounted, to the number of between ten
anti eleven hundred, for the purpose of enjoying the treat thus
alio: Jed 'them. To distinguish even the leading characters of this
sporting group would be inapossitle ; suffice it to say, that it bore
the appearance as if all the fox hunters and break-neck riders in the
four western counties had congregated at this spbt. Amidst all
this piety and confusion, just as the hounds were on the point
of bels4 thrown into the coven, the greatest consternation prevailed
from bond 'hacks and a general cry of ‘4 Where's a Doctor?
Where's a Doctorr—A Gentleman sszs killed in jumping injudi-
ciously over a fence. It having, however, been ascertained that the
accident was not likely to prove fatal, the alarm subsided, and the
work of the day commenced without further interruption. Ben'i
soft andsatelmlio4s tonesratcontpanied by solemn and shrill and be.
witching notes, and-Robert's overpowering snuck of the whip, made
the woods most enchantingly echo,so as to fill every hegrt with es tasy,
till at length Reynard broke covert, and the scene that ensued is
pastaU description. In pasting the Crewkerne turnpike-road, the
rush was truly awful and terrific; a mass of between three and four
hundred horsemen extended for more- than a quarter of a tittle at
full speed, literally threatening destruction to all who impeded them-
in their heedless career, and must fortunate was it that at this criti:
cal period the road was clear of travellers. The crowd of pedes-
trians, men, women, and children, was so great, that poor Ras nard
became mobbed, and fell a victim to the devouring enemy, amidst
the cheers and waving of handkerchiefs of countless numbers of the
fair sex, who formed a pyramid of lovelirfess on the round of the
Warren. Many distinguished individuals then adjourned to Hinton
House. where they experienced the greatest hospitality and kindness
front the Noble Earl Poulett and his amiable Countess, and Elie
.evening was spent in the utmost conviviality.
BOX It ICS. •

Among the depurates of great men from London, is that of
Langan, the Irish Chanipien, with his friend Reynolds, for Ireland,
by special invitation. He has not visited home since the Worcester
fight, and a hundred or two is bid for him there, to aA,ist in making
up his money, five hundred, to fight Spring, on the Bth of June.—
There was a good deal of betting at 6 to 4 at the end of last week.

Three to two may be quoted as the odds on Josh. Hudson, in his
approaching fight with the Birminzham Youth; but so g,toott is the
confidence ui tie amateurs in the John Bull fighter, that Ate odds
have but few takers. ..

Barney Aaron, who is matched :o fight Peter Warren, on Tues—
day, April 6, is the favourite.

Slane, §he Worcester Youth, or his Secretary, has written
an epistle to Cavannagh, him to fight. We do not
know whether Cavanoagh can write or not, but he is very capable
of making his mark, should he light Me. Mane.
