SPARRING.

The Fives Court was a general treat yesterday, and it was wcii
attended; the amiteulas mustered strarg. The sets.to, in thy ab-
sence of Spring and Magan, were excellent. ()facers from '
street were employed upon this occasion. The display. of pugilism
were fine between the first men on the list. Cooprr, gtpsy, and
the l'et of the Fancy (Curtis), set-to with men of equal goodness
Reuben Martin, George Curtis, and Rattan, were much applauded.
Other regulations followed, to :he satisfaction of the viiitom
SQUIRREL HUNT.
In 1820 a squirrel hunt took place at Lima, in the county of On-
tario, North America, which lasted forty days and a half. There
were forty persons on a side; and on the game being colnted, it
amounted to 13,472 black squirrels.

TIIR COVE OF THE WOOD, OR WOOD GROISIL About a century
ago this bird was found in tolerable plenty among the pine forests
of Scotland; it became, however, gradually extinct in that coun-
try, and not a single individual of the species had been observed for
tl•e last sixty years. Some of the estate owners, however, in that
part of Notth Britain which abounds in pine-trees (whose cones are
the favourite food of the wood grouse) have attempted again to lilt-
turalise this fine bird, and have already procered some specimens
from Denmark for this purpose; so that in the course of a few
years the forests of Scotland will again be enlivened by the present?
of this pride of the feathered creation and delight of the sportsman.

Monday and Tuesday, 800 poor men and women
were relieved with his lit saesvv's bounty called the Small Almon.,
at the Almonry-office, Whitehall, which was cHivered to them ti
Mr. Mom, the Secretary to the Lord high Almoner.

Wednesday, Thomas Grimsby, a mariner, fell from
the topmast of a Newcastle collier, lying, off Cherry
Garden-stairs, by which accident he broke the bones
of a thigh and a leg.
A quarrel arose, on Monday week, in the afternoon,
between two rr.m who had been di i!l!:irg together at a
public-house, in Salford, when one man, with a most
savage ferocity, seized the other with his teeth by the
lower lip; and completely bit it off.
On the night of the 31st ult. the bags containing, the
mails for Golspi:, and all the places to the North, in-
cluding the Orkneys, were stolen mit of the coach, be-
tween Dor:loch and Golspie, near the hiet Mound.
