MR. Botrßuc.

Mr. Bomallo's affair has, in our opinion, occupied
quite enough of the public attention ; but, as he has
sent us his pamphlet, we must crave the indulgence
of our Readers for a few more last words. We said
his case simply appeared to be that " he was detected
smuggling letters, among others, we believe, for the
Chronicle. In the pamphlet, page 7, he says—" I
had with me a number, not a considerable one, of
sealed letters." It would seem, however, from an
intimation conveyed to us, that he had none for the
Giro:side • a circumstance which in no way alters
the case, though, at the time when his arrest took
place; it WAS certainly said that he had letters for,
that Journal. But we recommend the pamphlet as
curious; and the- reader will be amused at the self-
complacency with which Mr. BOWRING says to Mr.
CANNING, "whatever I may feel of surprise or of,
regret at the determination not to prosecute- the de-
mand against the French Government for .tetlress on
national gtounds"—and, again, " would I then pre-
cipitate my country-into a vindictive war to avenge
the outrages I have suffered ? not I."
0, would some power the giftie give us,
To see ourselves as others see us!
1 If it were possible to indulge in any mirth on such
a subject, we should he tempted to laugh at Mr.,
BOWRLNG'S account of his imprisonment, in one'
respect.—" I created," says he, around me a little
world of imagination, which I filled with beings
after my own heart."—Fredge.—We see nothing in
Mr. BT.VRING'S pamphlet to make us .change our
estimate of his affair; and if, in the sealed letters
found in his possession, any matter of treasonable
suspicion was discovered by the French Police, which
Mr. CANNING
,Said was alleged, we say still " that
he may thank the compassionate forbearance of the
I french Ministt y."—Fr NiS.

beat time so as to leave him nine miles for the last three hourai
which was the worst part of- the match. He won by extraordi-

Monday the 17th ult. )ilr. Gi.lialdeston's hounds had one of
the most extraordinary runs ever remembered in the annals of
I fax-hunting, and certainly such a one as never before occurred
in the Thurlow country. The fox was viewed away from Great
Easy Wood the moment the hounds began to draw, and ran di-
rectly through Sparrow Grove almost to Potted Park, turned
short to the left, and ran through Thurston Park ; he then made
for the earths at Maiden Green, and Wing thern stopped, earl
d reedy to the Grcies n.:ar Clit,lbitrgh, turned short back nearly
to Wickham Brook. and again tritd the earths at HardenGreett,
leaving Denston and Itans!ield to the tight; he then ran through.
Thurston Park, and leaving t'cnsted End to the left he made
for Bally Hall, passing close by Great &troy ; from thence be •
ran fcr about a mile roverrds Cavendish, turned to the right, tel
was killed in an open field within a quarter of a mile of Clare,
in one hour and 35 nitmites, during which time the hounds had
not a Check for an instant. Mr. Othaldeston's horse Ashton (al-
lowed to be one of the best and fastest horses in England) was
the only one which went the run; and to prove the pace the
hounds maintained, they always kept two fields a-head of him ;
he was ridden by the first whipper-in. Mr. Osbaldeston got a
fall after the first 30 minutes, which shook his horse and himself
so that they could not
go on ; every hound was up when the fox
was pulled down. The distance was computed at snore than
twenty miles. •
