MANSION-HOUSE.

SUSPECTKD FRATRlCUM—Yesterday George Plummer, who was
detained some days ago till a further inquiry could be made into the
circumstances of the disappearance of his brother, of which he was
suspected of having some improper knowledge, was brought up for
further examination. Nothing more was, however, *filched, but
some corroborative evidence that tleorge had frequently described
himself to various members of his family as unable to get any test
from thinking of his brother Robert, whom he knew to be dead. The
prisoner was again remanded till the wife of the lost man, and some
persons in I lertfordshire, who are supposed to have some knowledge
of the matter, can be brought forward.

The veteran favwttlite JNINSTONE littely went to see
the Comedy of JJlen Bull represented at Covent-Garden, and was
so highly pleased with the manner in which his old character of
Denials litufgruddery was performed by Mr. Cohoß, that as a
proof of his approbation he gave that Gentleman the boots and
spurs which he used to wear whilst personating ihijor O'Flaherty
in the West Indian. It is needless to add that the present was re-
ceived with the warmest gratitude, coming as it did from one who
was the best judge of the merits displayed in its representation.

A few days since the mansion of Sir Gilbert Heath-
cote, in Langham-place, Cavendish-square, was entered
by a daring robber at the area-gate; his design was,
however, fortunately discovered. The Baronet being
cut of town, the house was left in the care of a woman,
whose children observed a man coming down the grand
staircase, and instantly alarmed their mother, who ran
to their assistance, when the thief made his escape over
the top cf the house. The children desciibe the fellow
as without coat or shoes, but his waistcoat was similar
to tho:e worn by the Baronet's servants. . .

The season for shooting game is now drawing to a conclusion.
We therefore remind our readers that there is a penalty of five
pounds for every bird of the following description found in any per-
son's possession. By 2 Geo. 111. (which is neither repealed nor
modified by any subsequent Act) " no person whatever shall take,
kill, or have in his custody any partridge, between the 12th day of
February and the first day of September, in each and every year:
nor any pheasant between the Ist day of February and the Ist day
of October nor any heath-fowl, commonly called black game, be-
tween the lit day of January and the 20th August : nor any grouse,
commonly called red-gave, between the Ist of December and the
23th of July, under the penalty of five-pounds, to go to the prose-
cutor." The late season, by a general arrangement among sport-
mg Gentlemen, did not commence till a fortnight after the usual
day, in consequence of the lateness of the harvest : the birds became
strong on the wing, very shy, and, generally speaking, little execu-
tion' has been done: there are many coveys• left untouched and
the breed of both partridges and pheasants-may be expected to be
plentiful, if the ensuing aeaspn be at all favoutabitt..

Slough, towards the Dolphin, on the Bath road, taking on the left
by Langley Church and Squire Hervey's Park, towards Denham,
making a double back through the inclosures towards Ditton Park,
where he crossed the Thames, near Eton, to the Windsor side;
the hounds and sportsmen crossed the ferry after him, and retewerl

Friday se'unight, at Wollaston Hall, the seat of Lord Middleton,
the foxhounds threw off just before the house and drew the covers
by a beautiful lake, inhabited by numberless wild fowl, attended
by a field of 400 horsemen; his Lordship joined them, but did not
follow the chace ; he took tha diversion of .coursing In the Park,
which is five miles round, enclosed within a wall, accompanied by
the Marquis of I luntly and a number of Gentlemen. The hare;,
which are numerous and remarkably strong, affinded excellent
sport; and though the best reyhounds from the neighbouring coun.
ties were assembled, in many instances the hares remained mns:e7s
of the field.
