HUNTING.

His Maj,sty's Stag Hounds Gist rriday, at Lake End Green,
near Two Me Brook.

The Earl of Derby's. Stag timlrds meet to•merrow at Smithant
Bottom; Thursday, at Purley Downs; Saturday, at The Oaki. H. JoPiffc, Esq.'s Fox Hounds meet on \Wednesday, at liyegite
Hill; and on Saturday; at Handcrosi.

Mr. Shard's hounds had a brilliant day's sport lately. They met
at the Waterloo Inn, and found their !ox in Plant Coppice—wind
at N. E. He went off towards Southwick House,. and through
Pensley Woods, opposite the INlontiment on Port :dawn Hill, when
he beaded,trying to shake them off.by running his oil haunts, through
all the large covers at Southwick, for an hour ; and not succeeding,
be went back to Plant Coppice, where they pressed him hard; he
then took the grass lands to Old Park, and on towards Cathering-
ton. leaving. Lovedean on the left, to North House, skirting High-
down Wood, and faced the hills to Stoke Woods, over Stoke Down,
to Old Winchester; when, finding the wind in his teeth, he sunk
the valley, within two fields of the river, at Meonstuke, and, close
to Droxford, headed hack, crossing Soberton Downs, leaving
fiatn-
bledon on the left ; he then went straight through the King's en-
closures, in the Forest of Here, Plashwood, and Sheepwash, at the
extremity of which they killed hint—in three hours and five minutes,
without a check of more than two minutes. Throughout the run
they went a clipping—and there was a great demand for blacksmiths.
Out of a numerous field of sportsmen, only five or six, besides the
huntsman and whipper-in, lived with them until they killed ; who all
acknowledged never having witnessed a better rspti, during which
the bounds were never assisted by a halloo; itt short, he was viewed
but twice the whole time.

Last week the famous Tally bet, which has excited so much in-
terest in the sporting world, was decided on the Course at Moni-
fieth, near Dunifries. Mr. K. was to ride one hundred yards on
his mare, Miss Tally, white Mr. S. performed seventy on his own
legs. The rider heat the runner by three yards. Immense sums
were staked on the issue ; and the knowing ones looked queer. The
losers complain of foul play, and an appeal is entered to the Jockey
Club.

The population of the kingdom of Poland (says a
Dutch paper) amounted last year to 5,702,306 souls.
This cAculation only includes that portion of Poland
which is under the dominion of Russia. Warsaw .has
now 117,284 inhabitants.
The kingdom of Saxony expects, from the Assembly
of the States now sitting at Dresden, the publication of
a new criminal code, a law nn the inheritance of the
property of persons dying intestate, founded on the
principles of natural equity, and several other whole-
some laws.

LITERATI OP SAXONT.—The University of 'Leipzig
'has suffered by the death of its Professors in a degree
almost unparalleled. Within a month it has lost three
of its most distinguished men, viz. Pi ofessorstaitsszn,
SPODN, and GILBERT. The latter had read his lecture
as usual tin the 6th, and was carried off on the 7th.
He was between 50 and 60 years of age. At this mo-
ment two other eminent Professors, PECII and H•NBOLD,
are dangeroutly ill. That the latter may 'imt be dis-
turbed in his rest, the street in which he lives is barri-
cadoed at night, and no carriage whatever aliowed to
pass—a measure which shews how highly hitellow-citi-
zeni honour this eminent lawyer, who, it is however
feared, cannot recover. Professors WIELAND and WE-
BER, who have been very ill, are now lecovering.
CORN-EXCIIANGE. MARK-LANK MARCH 24
There was another very large arrival of grain in general last
week, and this morning there is a fine additional supply of Wheat,
Batley, Beans, and Pease, front Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and
several more vessels from the north with Oats. The Wheat trade•
continues dull, and hassleclined 2s. per qr. since this nay se'nniglat,
there have, however, been some purchases made to-day by country
orders for shipping. Barley is excessively dull, and Ys. to :Is. per
quarter lower:, as our distillers purchase nothing, and our !minters
buy very little at present. Beans have also declined in value Is. to
es. per quarter. Pease, both grey and white, are further reduced
is. per quarter. The large quantity of Oats now here occasions a •
very (bill trade for this article at:present, and the prices have de-
dined full 2s. per quarter since this day se'nnight. Flour is expected
to fall ss. per sack.

Chr Allan of Luneburg; or, Traditions from the
Ha*. B, Miss Jane Porter. 3 Vols.
England has reason 'to be proud of her female wri-
ter', and of Miss Porter in particular, as- one of the
first'who endeavoured to give a new character to our
prose works of fiction, and to stem the torrent of
pseudo-sentiment which had so long been the leading
characteristics of our circulating-library novels.
The scene of tbis.historical romance is laid partly in
Germany and partly' in England, and the period, a:
most eventful one,,that of the struggle for religious
emancipatiOn from Popish thraldom ; and the person&
:embrace the ancestry of our
.graCious King, to whom
the work is dedicated.
.144 e Christian is of course
made as perfect as the hero of the romance should be,
and his brother Georges and a friend Mansel are little
len perfect ; and the hisnitical part of the work consists
of their successfiff-exertions ih behalf of the Protestant
cause. Oar limits prohibit our giving a long analysis
of these well written and instructive volumes, from
which, as a specimen of the style and composition, we'
quote the hiterview'between Prince Christian and
Shaktpeare:
Christian checked his horse, struck with the whole
appearance of this man ; for his countenance was dis;
tinguished as his figure; his unbonneted head display-
ing a brow so expansive in mental dignity, with eyes of
such bright yet mild intelligence, that both seemed
teddy .io mirror every high expression of which the
soul of man is capable. Those speaking eyes met the
fix"t;il gaze of the German Prince, who immediately
moving his horse on to the side of Henry—, ,Who is
that noble person ?' enquired he, in a lowered voice ;
while with an answering look accompanying the bead
a bit own head, he observed a something even of ef-jj
pass over ".tie stranger's face, in ,Sowing to

ANCIENT LITERATURE.

nature, which l:e found in the library of the Vatican.

-IriniNG GUNS BY STEAM.
lkit.sPerkins; 4i le experimenting on the expansive
force of steam, subjected to very elevated temperature,.
with the view of applying its power to the purposes of.
the tram-enighie, was very naturally led to investigate
itS,4plicatiOn inmany other departMents of art, where
gnat mechanicabforce was required ; and among others
to that of discharging ordnance. A copper pipe of two,
.ictottneeted. at one 'extretni.ty wikh the
swain titieiou: belonging to Mr!. Pe5Vll5 .itqtaved
engine, and tithe other end with a climber formed of

Metal flanges ; into this chamber-a strong gun-barrel is
firmly screwed, so as to be perfectly air-tight (and two
others connected with it),• abcreifendefin a horizontal
direction. From the upper portion hf the chamber,
two pipes or tubes project..abosn• ;fifteen inches, of
sufficient diameter to allow musket bullets topass 'freely
down, for the purpose of loading or shotting the gun.
-,--The steam being laid on the apparatus. nothing more
is necessary than to lift the short lever-of a sliding valve,
when the rush of steam into the chaniber instantaneously
-discharges the bullet through the guts-barrel, with a
force much greater than ordinary gunpowder. The
bullets, being received against an iron target, are com-
pletely flattened. Mr. Perkins threw into the pipe or
feeder of the apparatus three or four bullets.at a time,
which were stopped in the gun-barrek more than once,
from want of sufficient steam pressure at the moment.
But it i, obvious this may be avoided by giving any de-
gree of pressure requisite. Mr. Perkins has not yet,
employed a greater power than about 35 atmospheres„,
though the strength-of his apparatus would admit five
times that power, if necessary. The apparatus is capa'Ae '
of discharging 100 ~ills per minute, or in fact, as fast as
they can be put into feeders, and the gun-barrel made
to turn in any direction.

LANCASTER ASSIZES, MARCH 19.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.

BELL V. SUTCLIFFE. .. •
Mr. BROUGHAM (in consequence of the illness of Mr.
SCARLETT, who did not appear in Court dining the
whole day) stated the case to the July, and expressed"
his unfeigned regret that the unfortunate indisposition
of his Learned _Friend had imposed upon him the task
of stating the.wrongs of the plaintiff, and of .calling
upon them to award her some compensation for one of
the greatest wrongs that a woman could receive. The
'plaintiff was the daughter of a respectable. merchant,
who formerly resided at Newry,. in Ireland, in:a state
of affluence and comfort, but, in the rear 1'.12, owing
to the misfortunes of the times, his prospects, were
blighted ; he failed air business, and camel() reside in

to improve 'progressively. My sister in Ireland had
carried on the haberdashery-and silk mercery. The de-'.
fendant generally came in the evenings or afternoons.
He was in the habit of staying and spending the even-
ings. I have occasionally come home late in the even-,
inge when I-returned home; I understood his intentions
as early as the year 1820. I have heard him say that
he was about 34 in 1820. He is a' man of middle size,
about the half of '2O stone. I never saw him wheeling
his goods in a hand-cart. Like most Manchester trades-
men, he is plain in his appearance; but a perfectly gen-
tlemanly man when dressed. I never-understood that
he had more partners- than one. My sister Sophia-is
not bete: she is in a bad state of health, and unable to
come ; the plaintiff is abOut 32 years old.
