HUNTING.

nel; Wednesday, at Reigate Hill ;,Saturday, at Charlwoosl.
The Surrey Fox-hounds meet on Monday, at Ilamsey Green ;
Thursday, at Itiddlesdown ; Saturday, at Westerham.
The Berkeley Hounds throw off on Saturday at Weston Park,
near Broadway. .
Tux Butcuvom •Hounes.-.--11tonday, the first hunt since .the
breaking up of the frost, thealighton Subscription Pack threw
off at Patcham ; they found near Pangdran liolt-: the hounds
were preser.tly in full cry, and after a circuitous route of five of
six miles, came back to nearly the starting point. With redou-
I bled music and increasing ipeed, they then passed Clayton Mill,
leaving Clayton Holt to the right, and hence on for Ditchling.
Here their object appeared to have been headed, and they im-
mediately diverged for Clayton Hill, and dashed on for Domay,
and thence for Hurst. The severity of the chace at this time,
led to a conclusion that they were pursuing a fox, as several of
their hories were knocked up, and could gallop no further. At
Hurst the pursued seemed to have been headed again, and both
horses and dogs were in rapid career as they passed over Wigton-
berry-hill, to Newtimber tell-gate, and on fur Poynings; Park-
wood, covering about 120 acres, was then passed through to the
New House, from thence to the Holme Bush, and then on for
Ilenfield. At Albourne, the perseverance so admirably dis-
played was rewarded with success—the hounds then ran in upon
their victim, not a fox, but a fine jack hare, after a chace of be-
tween 30 and 40 miles, from first to last, in about two hours
and twenty minutes, a circumstance, with harriers, almost un-
equalled In the annals of sporting.—Of about fifty horses, only
seven were in at the death.

.

Tuesday the Earl of Unmoor enjoyed some capital sport
Ith the Brighton subscription barriers—a leash of hares were
the spoils of the day. This pack throws off three times a week,
viz. Monday, Wednesday, and Ptiday.

PEDESTRIANISM.
Wrigbt, the celebrated pedestrian, who failed in his under
taking of 'wilkillg 100 miles in 24 hours, in consequence of be-
ingcrossed on the read and hurt in his instep, has been backed
again to walk the same distance in 24 successive hours, for sixty
sovereigns. He started on Wednesday afternoon from the Crown
and Barley-mow, precisely at four o'clock, confident of success,
and-thus performed his undertaking.

EXTRAORDINARY SPORTIN'AVIRRICAI

A few weeks since, a fanner wit+) livea on the lake dare, bt

was anxious to kill him. He ran to his skill",.and without.
Betting that be bad no weapon but his paddle, .worked his will

down on the bow. The farmer, after .some reflection, deter.
mined to carry him back, etid attempted to turn.the boat ; .bqt

prudently determined to reach the land In that direction. lie ac-
cordingly went on, and when within a few feet of the shore,
the bear leaped out, to the great joy of his ferryman.
On the Soh September, Jacob B. Vanater went to the Great
Elk Lick, on tke sonth branch .of the Sinnemahoning, with his
two dogs, Wolf and Spring, to watch for elk. Watching till
dark, he then retired a short distance, and lay down for the
night, his dogs by his side. About midnight, his dogs made a
sudden lam, width awoke him, and about six yards from his
bead, engaged Some animal, which, by its voice, he soon found
to be a panther. The fire was nearly out, and he could see
neither dogs nor panther. Fearing to go among them, he threw
some remaining firebrands, thinking to frighten the panther away,
but this for a time had no effect ; at length, however, the animal
retreated, fighting the dogs, fora distance of about eight rods,
where they had a severe combat, which lasted about a minute,
when the noise of the dog Wolf, and the panther ceased. Sup-
posing that the panther had killed his dog, he stood by the fire,
which began to kindle up a little, with his rifle cocked, expecting
to be attacked himself. Spring soon came to hint, seemingly
with good tidings. Soon after Wolf came, and seemed to urge
him to the field of battle. He procured some dry bark, made
a light, and accompanied them to the spot, where, to his great
joy, he found the panther lifeless:- The panther was nine feet in
length. The dogs, though badly wounded, are likely to recover.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--The Opera of 'Love la
Village was last night performed at this Theatre, for
the purpose of introducing to the Public, in the cha-
racter of Young 'Meadows, a young Gentleman, for
the first tithe on any Stage.. His voice is a tenor,
arid possesses considerable compass and sweetness ;
and when he shall haie become more accustomed to
the Stage, he will, should he fulfil the promises held
Haut by him. on this occasion, attain a respectable rank
in the profession hehas adopted. 'ln the duet with
Rosetta, in the second act, " We part, and part for
ever," he sustained his part with considerable spirit
and effect, and the duet was repeated, in compliance
with a general tricore. The airs; " Oh ! had I been
by Fate clecieed some' humble cottage swain," and " Oh !
how shall I in langnage'Weak," he also sang with much
sweetness, and was loddlf applauded. " Mrs. Aus
TIN'S Rosetta is an interesting performance. She sang
last night with much taste and effect, and was encored
in several of her songs. MUNDER'Sjuslice Woodcock
