TROTTING MATCH.

The great Trotting Match between Mr. ARIUTHNOT.II chemist
mare Fairy and Capt. B. B. COLSTON'i Bluster, for Five Hen-
dred Sovereigns, took place early yesterday morning over a two
mile piece of ground, in Oxley Park, Huntingdonshire. Fm-
mense sums were pending at even on this match. The start took
place at six o'clock, to avoid interruption, which should do most
in an hour and a half. The following is a correct statement,
from the umpire's time:

the horse being several hundred yards behind at the 18 miles.

SINGULAR PRESERVATION.

About three weeks ago, as Mr. ilauzson, of Bentham, was
shooting upon Ingleborough, on a sudden he missed one of his
dogs, and he left the moor without finding her, nor did he gain
any tidings of her till nine days after, when Mr. Burnous, of
Burton-in-Lonsdale, who was sporting over the same ground,
observing his dog growling and bristling over the mouth of one
of those caverns which are so numerous in that neighbourhood,
on looking down for the object which caused such conduct, he
perceived a dog, at the depth of about twenty feet; wad having
heard of the above circumstance, he procured . rope and ladder,
and brought the pointer safe to the top ; but her feet were so
much lacerated in endeavouring to escape from her gloomy pri-
son, and being reduced for want of food (having remained there
eight nights and nine days), she was obliged to be carried off the
moor; and although in that state, on hearing the cull of a moor-
cock, she pricked up her ears, and pointed to the spot where the
bird was!

BULLOCK HUNTING.
Yesterday a great number of fellows amused themselVes In
e New-road, near Pentonville, to the imminent danger of
those who were quietly going about their business, with the
brutal pastime of bullock hunting. The poor animal they goaded
was enraged to a very great degree, and must have done mis-
chief had not the utmost activity been used by those. who found
it necessary to avoid him.,His pursuera were frequently obliged
to climb upon railings and lamp-posts, as he often turned room!
to resent such cruelty. Application'tvas made by some of the
respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood to the constables,
who, surprising as it may appear, were not to be seen where -
the bullock hunting took place. It may be necessary to give a
spur to the zeal of the constables and persons who are often en-
gaged in informing where the business .of an informer is not
quite so honourable an employment, that the New Police Act
has increased the penalty for bullock kuntiti( considerably, and
that the whole of the penalty, is given to the informer. The fol-
lowing is part of a section of the Act which piiiiishes the offence
—" And4stiereas, by an Act:lased in the 2&1 year of his late
Majesty, entitled-au Act to prevent the mischleillithat at& from
driving cattle within the Cities, of Loudon AIM-Westminster,
and Liberties thereof, and Bills of Mortality, a penolaytnot exceed-
ing twenty shillings, nor less than fiYehillings, is gipused on
every person not being hired or employed to drive (yule, who
pelts with stones or brickbats, or by any aches meana.Avitts or
hunts away, or sets any dog at any us, &a without the motet
of the owner or his servant: and whereas thesaid penalty.iges;
been found insufficient to &ter evil-disposed pittsotts from the.
practice of hunting bullocks, be it therefore hart htr.enacted, that
if any person shall pelt, &c. contrary to the provisions of the
said Act, such persons shall, upon being convicted tikatof, forfeit
awl pay, on the first conviction, any sum not exceetling ans. nor
less than 20g. to the person who shall prosecute such offender to
conviction; and in default of payment shall be committed to the '
!louse of Correction, there to be kept to hard labour for any term
not exceeding two montluvou the first conviction, nor five months
on the second ; and every future conviction in the manner pre-
scribed by the said last recited Act. There were some amongst
the most active 'eas the byllock bunters well able to pay the
%battiest penalty.
