Ilasrixos.—Thursday morning, much recreation was afforded
to the admirers of the sports of the field, consisting of between
forty and Lity equestrians, and upwards of two hundred pedes-
trians, with the hunting of two deers, conveyed the day previous
from a park at Horsham to the estate of ---- Eveasricco, Esq.
at Gensing, Grove, &c. near Hastings. The spectators having
arranged themselves in an eligible situation from the north-west,
facing towards the south, the doors of a barn at the bottom of
an elevated field, commanding extensive views of a richly diver-
sified country of bills, dales, woods, and sea, were suddenly
thrown open, when one of the deer was immediately liberated,
and started, a quarter of an hour's law being allowed fur its pro-
gress, it stepped out in a graceful and nen eintlence manner, ap-
parently without the least timidity, as if accustomed to the gaze
of strangers, and, from being unacquainted with its future
destiny, happily it should be su, as Pore illustrates:
' The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day,
Had he thy reason, would he skip and, play ?
Pleas'd to the last, he crops the flow'ry food,
And licks the hand just rais'd to shed his Hood !"
Taking first of all an easterly and then a westerly direction, un-
fortunately one of the fore feet was rendered by accident lather
stiff, but when pressed by the doss, a good pack, belonging to
Messrs. DIIibNZY and Svannuto, exhibited for a considerable
distance up a road a grand display of rapidity of motion, and in
the space of three-quarters of an hour was caught in a valley,
without having received much injury, and put into a place of
safety belonging to Mr. Festoons, and every tenderness shewn

this for some time bewildered them; as soon as she was routed,
the pursuit was continued with much zeal and warmth till half-
past two o clock, when she was taken alive in Crowlsurst Park.
Amongst the assemblage of individuals there were several

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECKS.

During the late tempestuous weather there was a series of the
most melancholy and disastrous shipwrecks that ever occurred
on the shores of Galloway. On Tuesday, the sth inst. the Dove
was driven ashore near Parton, and dashed to pieces after losing
one man and two boys. The Isabella, Mossor, and the Hope,
Werra, were also driven ashore ; and the Mary, LANCASTER,
was stranded near Bankend, with the loss of two men through
cold and fatigue. The Defence, Braze, went ashore the same
night at Allonby—all these vessels belonged to Whitehavt n. In
consevence of the distance that many vessels had sailed before
the gale reached its utmost fury, the Masters determined to
stand for the Manxman's Lake, at the mouth of the !liver Dee,
where the anchorage is generally quite safe, but this attempt
proved fatal to several of them. 13:tween the hours of three
and five, P.M. the blip Falcon, Ileartoecus; Mary Isabella,
Or.7taway ; and the snow Joshua, Mows, from Whirehaven to
Dublin; the 1)ido, WAUGH, and the schooner Wellington, Cait
Lan, cleared the Little Ross, but were unable to.pass the bar.
Ily half-past five o'clock in the evening, the Falcon and Mary
Isabella had sunk, leaving only a small portion of their masts
above water. The Joshua also struck on the bar, Led imme-
diately went to pieces. In the first instance the D.do and WLl-
lington also were entirely capsized. The crews of the Dido anl
Wellington wt.re saved, but of the Falcon one mint lost ; of the
Mary Isabella the Captain and six men perished; and of the
Joshua not one survived to tell the motirnittl tale. In all four-
' teen or fifteen persons have perished, several of whom have left
large families.

Saturday, an Inquest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
on the body of Alt. J. Rhodes, a tradesman, who, while passing
along the King's Road, was struck on the forehead by a man
carelessly carrying a bedstead, and knocked into the road, when
a waggon passed over his body and killed him. Verukt, Acci-

CURIOUS CLIC UIISTA NCR !—SOllle days ago the late Mr. PIRRT'S
house at Merton, in Surrey, was broken into, and a quantity of
lead stolen from it. It so happened that an individual concerned
in the theft had been impudent enough to do in the drawing-
room, what the profligate Duke of •Wharton is reported to have
done in a pulpit. The constable, on examining the house after
the robbery, picked up a piece of paper which had been used on
the above occasion, took it home, cleani-t1 it, and immediately
went and apprehended two men whom he suspected. In the
hat of one of them was found a letter front which the piece of
paper alluded to had been torn I
EISCUTION.—The execution of lasses Turner,the racher, took
place on Monday morning last at Winchester. He had leen cot:-
victed the preceding Friday, of ass.sting, in a scuffle, in the mur-
der of Robert Baker, game-keeper to Mr. Smith, of Andover.
