The last week afforded excellent sieort to the Gentle:nen of the
East Kent Hunt. On Monday, the 6th, the hatreds •net at Pad-
dlesworth Church, found their fox, ran him to a drain, and
They went away, with their afternoon fox, at about three n'cip..k,
for Horton Wood, and bad a most brilli.itt hunt of five pod
minutes, to Ashley (a perfect Leicestershire country), where
hounds checked; they hunted slowly afterwards, and were beine'en
by night coming on, leaving him in Coppinge Bough, at a i;tziete-.
' fore bye o'clock. These hounds had another ciippirg day un !,.
day, the 10th, from S:bton. 'They found the fox in the
when he made for Westwood, where he hung fur some cootio..„
able time, and then" broke away, and gave the field a re.: forr
minutes, through Brabourne Coombe to Brabourne, thrice t;
Evington (where he was herded by two Gentlemen riding
rdad, and who declared him to be the largest fox they bad ever se iv,
through Brabourne Coombe to Nacolt Wood, where the
unluckily got upon a fresh fox, which led them over the .!evp gr
grounds adjoining Brooke, where they were whipped
running between four and five hours, which ended as brilhott
day's sport as was ever witnessed in East Kent.

The proposed railway from the Kennet and Avon
Canal to Salisbury, has bees abandoned for the present.
The whole line of the proposed railway between Bris-
tol and Bath will not exceed twelve miles, the cost
whereof, including collateral branches to the principal
collieries, it is calculated, will not exceed 100,0001.
it is a fact, that at a large school to the North-we,'
of London, a much greater sum is charged to the pa-
tents of the children fdr seats ia the church, than is
paid to the Curate fot performing the duty of the parish.
A general subscription has beery s?t on foot for the
relief of the sufferers from the late storm on the coast
of Dorsetshire.

The Quebec Gazette announces that the Chief of the
Huron Nation, NICIIOLAS VINCENT TSAWOUENHOUIII,
attended br four of his Council and two cf his princi-
pal warriors, has resolved to visit England: They hal
taken their passage in the brig Indian,. MATTHIAS,
which was ekpected to sail for Liverpool with the first
fair wind.

A few evenings since, a fire balloon was let off at St.
Stephen's. near Canterbury, by some young men,
which alighted on a_hapstack belonging to 31E:HENRY
COLLARD, of Gore-street, a few miles from thence, and
.ignited the thatch. The damage done was considerable.
In the early part of the Fiench Revolution a Magi,
trate, named Palo, at Lyons, had occasion to publish a
notice of some municipal regulation, to which of course
he affixed (as is usual in France) merely his surnames
One of the ignorant Dxmagogites of the day getting
hold of a copy of the notice, 'immediately carried it
into the market-place, and hat angued the mob, declaim-
ing against the iniquity of a 31.1.:,istrate's poldishing an
Ordonnance without even reading it. a Don't you see?"
cried he, " he writes at the bottom Pala (pas In ), that
is, not rend. Can anything be more audacious ?"
The mob, of course, took the part of the orttor,
went and broke poor Paha's windows, crying, " Noc
read, indeed !—We'll teach you to read."
