ROYAL. HUNT.

A large buck, y'clept young Awry, taken from the herd of
Richmond Park, was turned out last Friday, bciore a very nu-
merous field. Scarcely ever were witnessed such a motley group
of horse-dealers, grooms, trainers, &c. as were collected together
on the occasion. It might be likened to Newmarket lleath, on
a training day. The Gentlemen came for a gallop, and they
had one ; but not exactly as they expected, for the deer, in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the land-owners in the neighbour-
hood, proved to be a regular road-hunter. Young Avory gave
his pursuers a good dusting along the Bath read, then took a
turn down the road to Teddington, passed through Twickenhant
and the adjoining villages till he came to Bushy P.rk, which he
entered thrbugh the great gates. After a good gallop round the
Park, the stag, finding himself hard pressed, leaped over the
high railing which divides the lawn from the Duke of CLA-
RENCE'S shrubbery. Water being the poor animal's last resort,
he took to the duck-pond at the back of his Royal Highness's
splendid mansion, where he would have been killed, had it not
been for the timely interposition of three or four brave cheva-
liers, who plunged up to their necks in the clear stream, and
rescued young Avory for another gallop on the road. The Misses
FITZ-CLARENCE and the Earl of Emc were present, and seemed
highly pleased with the denouement.

• THEATRES.

Datntv-Laws.—Last night was one of the most.
attractive that has occurred since the opening of the
Theatre, notwithstanding that the novelty of its im-
frovements must have in a great measure died away.
Mr. KEAN appeared, for the first time, this season, in
the character of Richard the Third. The enthusiasm
of his reception cannot be described correctly, with-
out entering into particulars with which criticism
has nothing to do. We must therefore be content
by stating, that the audience manifested, in the most
decided manner, their respect for his great talents and
their joy at his return to the station which he has so
ably occupied since his first introduction to the boards
of Drury-Lane. It would be trifling with our Readers
to recapitulate the points of this well-known and highly
appreciated theatrical display. It was as powerful as
ever ; and the improvement of the Theatre with re-
spect to hearing operated, as it must always operate,
to the advantage of such a performance. We con-
gratulate the Managers and the Company on the re-
turn of a genius, who, having been their best support
in bad times, cannot fail to be their ornament in
prosperity. Mr. COOPER was effective in the part of
Richmond, as was also Mrs. W. WEST in Lady Anne.
The Two Galley Saves closed the entertainments.
COVENT-GARDEN.—ROWE'S Tragic Play of Jane
Shore was last night performed at this Theatre, when
a Lady, of the name of Jorms, made her ciebut be-
fore a London audience, in the part of Alicia. Her
figure is good ; she is tall, and rather inclined to the
en bon poin!. Her features also are regular and pretty ;
but they want the power of expression, so indispen-
sably necessary to pourtray effectually the varying,,
passions of the mind. Her reception was very fa-
vourable, and her talent will certainly be an acqui-
sition to this House. Miss LACY played Jane Shore
fir the first time, and mote than fulfilled the antici-
pation of her most warm and ardent friends and ad-
mirers. Her dying scene was excellent—the languid
smile which passed over her countenance, whilst
struggling in the agonies of death, on hearing the
voice of her husband extending to her forgiveness,
was as powerful a specimen of the histrionic art as
we ever recollect to have seen ; the whole of her per-
formance Was loudly applauded. Mr. C. KEMBI.E'S
Lord Hastings is one of those performances which
make a lasting impression ; his spirited declaration of
his adherence to his lawful Sovereign, and of the love,
passing even the love of women," which he bore to
his tlative land, were given in his hest style, and re•
cognised with loud and continueacheering. BA RTL Ev,
as Dumont, was highly repectable,. The Play, ge-
nerally speaking, was periornied excellently well, and
deservedly called forth the plaudits of a numerous
audience. The pish T'utorand the Two Galley Slaves
followed, and came in for their usual share ofapplause.

At six o'clock on Saturday morning a bright me-
teor paced over Edinburgh, in the direction- from
north to south.
Wednesday, 470 Scottish sheep were sold at War-
rington, at five shillings each. Mr. ANTwiss was
the purchaser.
The Coal Trade of the Tyne is still in a state of
disorder ; the great body of keelnien continue their
refusal to work, or to permit others to navigate the
river in keels.
Wednesday evening four horses were, as usual,
brought to the door of the %Mite Hart Inn, at Chip-
penham, to be in readiness for• the arrival of the White
Lion day-coach ; but being left to themselves for a
moment, they set off at a quick pace towards the
Bath road : near the Chippenham bar one of them
was stopped by a boy, who mounted it and went in
pursuit of the others ; but his endeavours to stop them
being ineffectual, they proceeded on at full trot till
they came to Batheaston, where the horse rode by the
boy ran against a waggon, and both were knocked
down. The harEe's shoulder was much injured, but
the boy fortunately escaped without injury. One of
the others was stopped near Grosvenor-place, whilst
the two remaining horses ran on uninterruptedly till
they came to the White Lion, in Bath, where they
stopped of their own accord, and were followed by
the two others, who were led in shortly after. Their
arrival in this unusual manner caused no small sur-
prise to the by-standers, which was not explained till
the arrival of the coach at its usual time, with ano-
ther set of horses.
Sunday last, as some men were on the road be-
tween Paddington and Kilburn, their attention was
excited at seeing a human skull lying in the ditch :
they immediately gave information to Mr. Deben-
ham, an officer residing at Kilburn, who directed
further examination to be made of the witch, when,
on turning over some of the earth, the scalp of the
head, the jaw with several of the teeth in it, the blade,
arm, and rib bones, were likewise found, and also an
old boot, which appeared to have belonged to the
deceased person, but none of the other bones or any
clothes : it is therefore supposed that, should the bod
have been placed there for concealment, the small
streams of water in the ditch must have carried the
remainder away. However, they could not have been
there a very long time, as the ditch was cleaned out
twelve months ago. The skull and bones, which ap-
peared to belong to a female between 16 and 17 years
of age, were instantly taken to Pints's, Esq. a
Magistrate residing in Kilburn, for his inspection,
and who ordered every inquiry to be made to develop
this extraordinary affair. The whole village of Kil-
burn seemed on Sunday to be concerned in this oc-
currence, and various rumours were afloat that a per-
son had been seen to walk there every night. It is
to be observed, that not a year past, the bodies of two
infants were found in the same mysterious manner,'
and no trace ever ascertained of the manner in which
they came there. It is not improbable that the bones
have been flung there after being sufficiently used for
the purposes of anatomical research.
Saturday se'nnight, as Mr. Su KPH ERD, silversmith,
was crossing the road at the bottom of Castle-street,
in Reading, he was struck down by the pole of a
stage-coach which was passing. The driver instantly
pulled up so as to prevent the vehicle from going
over him. Mr. S. was immediately conveyed home,
and surgical assistance procured, but the blow he
had received proved fatal, and caused his death,
after lingering two or three days.
A contagious distemper has broken out at Giessen,
in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, which is said to have
been introduced with some bales of wool.
