Extract of a letter from the British Consul at Havre de Groot,
to JOHN Bennarr, Esq. Secretary of Lloyd's, dated February 10:
" I have the honour to enclose you a letter from my Consular
Agent at Trepnrt, a small sea-port in the department of the Seine
Inferieure, respecting the ldss of the Ent!i‘ls ship Four Sisters,
Srocxect. Master. The very handsome manner in which Al.
HOITREL, Clergyman of the village of Mers, came forward on the
occasion, I hope will be noticed in the newspapers. M. llotraet.
having come to the wreck, had all the surviving crew, thirteen in
number, carried to his house, and not only gave th-nt everything
their case required, but even gave them up his own bed and a
quantity of his clothes, and for these three days has subsisted them
all in the most noble and disinterested manner, baviug refused to
receive money I offered him for the reimbursement of the expense
he has incurred on thEir account; and it is one of those acts of
Christian humanity and charity which deserve to be noticed.
leave this to your care, as such actions cannot made too public.°

Green, one mile from Croydon.
The Cheltenham harriers have been given by Dr. Townsend to
the members of the Cheltenham Hunt. It is now a subscription
pack, and under the direction of a Committee of Gentlemen, to
whom it is but justice to state, that their first resolution was that
of sending all the hares that may be killed to the occupiers of farms
on which they may be hunted. Upwards of forty Gentlemen are
already subscribers
Fox-Cnase KIT3ACIRDINARY.—Tuesday last, the Holderness fox •
hounds met at Bessingby Whin, and, in a short time, broke cover,
attended by a numerous field Of horsemen, Sm. The fox took a
direction for Bridlington, and passing the Subscription Mills, fol-
lowed the course of the road to the Quay, until he came to Mr.
Wetwan's water-mill, where, crossing by the bridge, it was con-
jectured he was making for Plamborough. A small terrier dog
accidentally met him, and put him on a fresh tack. He then en-
tered the garden, and, from the garden; the house of Captain R.
Lowrey, of the Quay, where, endeavouring to elude pursuit. he
secreted himself under the chairs and other furniture ; but, alas!
the cruel eye of some of the sportsmen speedily discovered his re-
treat when he made a bolt smash through the window in greater
speed than ever. Unfortunately, however, Reynard no sooner
got free from one danger than he fell into another and a greater,
for by this time the pack had reached the spot, and he was dis-
patched within a few yards of the house.

M. de VASQUISS, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires at
