HUNTING.
Yoar.--Sattirday se'n night, a large party of Gentlenien, Mem-
bers of the Badsworth Hunt, partook of an elegant public break-
fast, at the ancient Mansion of Campsall, late the residence of
thlt well-known sportsman, BACON FRANC, Esq. At eleven
o'clock, the hounds threw off at the old-established cover, called
Barnsdale, and found directly ; a brace of foxes ran a few rings,
and then broke away to the South, down the Park to Scathing
Hills, leaving Robin Hood's Well to the right, crossing the en-
closures to Burghwallis Village, through the Park to the Wood;
after ringing a short time, went away to the West, up to Skellow
where he was headed to the right past Skellow Grange;
to Robin Hood's Well, he then leaped the Park wall, and was
again headed back to Barnsdale, and earthed os the Roman
Ridge. At ane o'clock, another fox was found in Campsall Park.
he broke gallantly away to the West over Campsall Field, to
Ovrston, turning to the right through Burghwallis Wood up to
the Village; crossed the enclisures to Skellow Grange, le:.ving
Robin Hood's Well to the left, took the Plantation up to the
Summer House, near the Cross Roads, on Barnsdale, where
he was headed to the right ; skirting the old Cover, broke
away over the open fields to Stneatoa taming to the
left, he then took the beautiful vale called Smeaton Pasture,
from thence up to Wentbridge, Crossed the high road to Walton
Wood, and broke away on the west, the hounds running him
in view up to Thorp Plantation, where he was again beaded by
a ploughman; after running round, then be broke away again
to Walton Wood, Mr. F. ',Latium and the huntsman only
being up with the hounds ; he was then viewed over the large
enclosures to Wrangbrough, and after trying the earths he turned
short, crossing the open fields for Skellbrook Park ; the hounds
running in view, Reynard was obliged to yield to old Jasper ;
although Betsy had gloriously distinguished herself in the run,
an old dog fox a delightful day's sport, and the last a very
charming run, for one hour and forty-five minutes; a complete
splitter from Thorp Plantations to Wrangbrough, a foggy morn-
ing, afterwards soft and mild, and uncommon good scenting all
the day. Out of 26 couples and a half only one hound was
wanting at the death.' The huntsman evinced very superior
skill, and rode well up to the hounds all the day, until his horse
had the misfortune to leap into a drain, where he could not ex-
tricate himse:f. Out of a very large field of sportsmen only the
'following were in at the death, Mr. F. LEAT/1•31, Hon. E.
Hawse, Hon. E. Prres, Captain Tiaav, Mr. Gar, jun. and
IMr. Cooxe.

Csatist.e.—The Annual Hunt at Wreay took place on Tues-
day, when the usual sports engaged the attention of the company.
l'revious to repairing to the field, Mr. Gases, the Mayor of the
Hunt, entertained a large party of friends at his house, the Grey
Goat Inn, Carlisle, where a very handsome breakfast was served
tip. At Wreay, about SO Gentlemen sat down to an excellent
dinner, which was crowned with the " flowing bowl." The
sportsmen- turned out three hares. Mr. haus Colwell. was
chosen Mayor for the ensuing Hunt.

SPARRING.

le sods bad a crowded Fives Court yesterday. The per:.

fOrmances commenced in a novel manner before the Master of
the Ceremonies made his appearance. Ayres, the pugilist, and
another man, were disputing about each other's milling abilities,
and they agreed to settle matters en the stage, for lone. A par-
ley took place.hetWeen the propiietor of the Court and some of
the fighting men, on the impropriety of a real boiing-tnatch
taking place there, and gloves were then banded up to them,,
although the voices were twenty to one for nothing less than a
naked fist fight. At it they went, and fought six manly rounds
with the gloves on. Ayres had the best if the first round, al- I
though his adversary was much the heavier man; in the other
two the stranger rsifianed away against his antagonist's science.
and had none the worst of the fight. In the fifth round- Ayres
slipped down, having been previously bled on the side of the
head. The stranger seemed disposed to pull off the gloves, but
Ayres pressed upon him to have another taste, and after that a
draw took place for a fight another day.
Lennox and *Mason next commenced sparring, and hit away
spiritedly.
Larkin (the Guardsman) and Robert Burn.—This set-to ex-
cited much interest ; and although Burn was in excellent condi-
tion until within the last three or four days, in training for Spring,
he has trained off much since, and Larkin had much the best of
the set to. Burn was hit down, and he was stunned by his bead
going against the stage.
Turner and Rates wade a most manly and scientific set-to,
and the former had rather the best of it.

The greatest anxiety was a set-to between Cribb, the cham-
pion, akd Carter, the latter haying vauntingly said, after the
taste he received from Cribb on a late occasion, that he would
meet him at the Court 311(1 spar with him at this benefit. Cribb
appeared to the call of the Court, and was ready, hut Career did
not answer the call; and after some time Joe Norton announced
from the stage that Carter said be was not very well and should
not spar, which canted much groaning and hissing. •
Halt and Parish made a good set-to ; and Reynolds and (Mast-
we! closed the sports.

Do t. Ily, the Irish Champion, died on 'Friday last, in Dublin,
in tansentzence of the bursting of a blood vessel. lie was in
his 44th year.

Miss MacatmEy.—Last night, at the Crown and
Anchor, this Lady gave a repetition of those Enter-
tainments which she has already offered to the town,
under the comprehensive designation of Literary and
MuSisal Regalia. The room was crowded at an
early hour with respectable company ; and before
the regular Entertainment commenced, Miss MA..
CAULEY read a printed document, stating her motive
for again resuming them, after a certain interval of
suspension. This detailed the hardships she had ex-
perienced in her theatrical career, and. particularly
upon a recent occasion ; while, at the same time, it
sought to bespeak the public sentiment in her favour,
It is but justice to Miss, MACAULEY to observe, that,
upon this occasion, she acquitted herself with very
great success, and gave proofs of talent which might
entitle her to mere Battering encouragement than
that, which, according to her own statement, she
has met with. Her first Recitation was a very long
one, from the Tragedy of the Earl of Essex, and in-
cluded no less than four characters, in all of which
she displayed considerable ability, making the transi-
tion to each with appropriate emotion, while she
sustained it with effect. The other parts of the En-
tertainment which devolved upon her, were equally
' well executed ; and a young Lady, whe was an-
nounced as her Pupil, gave a happy specimen of pro-
ficiency in the comic ai t, .by the style in which she
gave a Recitation, entitled the &vole Ages of Women.
Upon the whole, the efforts of Miss MACAuLzy, and
those who co-operated with her, were highly creui-
table to their talents, and experienced the unqualified.
VlA:ruses of a respectable audience.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

FINAL REPORT OF THE CO4MISSIONIRS APPOINTED
FOR INQUIRING INTO THE MODE OF PREVENTING
TOE FORGERY OF BANK NOTES.
TO ins maisarr (macs THE FOVETII, KING OF TIM UNITED ICING-

DON OP GIULET BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
Since we had• the honour of explaining to your Majesty the
course of our proceedings, a longer interval has elapsed than
we had anticipated as likely to occur. This has arisen partly
from our wish to have some experiments tried, with a view to
the improvement of that plan, which we then stated ourselves
to have selected, and partly from our anxiety to give the fullest
and most deliberate consideration to another plan, of great in-
genuity, and exhibiting specimens of Leautiful work, which
had formerly been suggested to us, and the particulars of which
have upon several occasions, and within a recent period, been
laid before us : this plan, however, after suck consideration, we
do not tad to possess such merit is would make it proper for us
to recommend its adoption, in prefereuce to that which we had
first selected.

With respect to the paper, we are of opinion, that it will not
be advisable to nuke any alteration in that which is now used
.by the Bank.

. .
Upon the whole, we have ventured to recommend for ado!),
don by the Bank the plan brought forward by Messrs. Applegath
and Cowper, which was originally submitted to the Directors a
short time Only before the.appoirtment et this Comrdssion, a:A
received innpiediate encouragement from them • and upon whisli
some improvements have since been made. The Din:ctot s have
readily complied with this recommendation, and the necessary
machines are in a state of great forwardness.
We humbly conceive that your Majesty, for obvious 1-mor.,
would not wish us to enter upon any deta::ed exrlanation of the
particulars of this plan. The objects which we have kept in
view, in making the selection upon which we have determined,
have been to enable the Bank to ensure to the Public a regular
supply of their Notes in sulicient quantity to meet the daily de- .
mod, and to have those Notes executed in such a manner as
shall render them lit for general circulation amongst all classes
of society; whilst at the same time very considerable nbstachs
are opposed to the art of any person who might be disposed to
engage in forging them. And we humbly :,uisrnit to your Ma-
jesty our opinicin, that these objects will be attained by the adop.•
don of the note formed by the machines submitted to our ViLNY
by Messrs. Applegath and Cowper.
We cannot but be aware, that no form of a Note can possibly
be contrived that may not be successfully imitated by some ar-
tist of superior talents ; we hope, however, and we believe, that
no man capable of forging the note which we reconirdend, can
be in such distressed circumstances as to feel any inclination to
place himself in danger of the ignominious punishment which
awaits a crime so hurtful to public credit, and to the comma,
nity at large.

All which is humbly submitted to your Majesty's considera-
tion and judgment JOS. BANKS.

NUREMBERG PAPERS.
VIENNA, FEBRUARY 2.
The agents of the German manufacturers are still
here ; their affairs are said to be now prosecuted with
great zeal, by the Committee appointed for the pur-
pose. There are the best founded hopes that the
fundamental plan of a future system of commerce
for Germany will be here laid down, and that it will be
resoived immediately to appoint a Commercial Com-
mittee of the Confederation, to fl ornote the ezecuw
tion of it.

It is said that the Prussian Ambassador has asked
for new instructions from his Court, and nobody
doubts oftheir being favourable to the freedom of
commerce in Germany. The affair is said to be
very warmly taken up by the Ambassadors of-Bava..
ria, Wurtemberg, and Nassau, and particularly by
the Baden Ambassador, Baron Von Berstell. The-
Hanoverian Cabinet too, from the readiness with
which it'accedes to the idea of a general system of
commerce for Germany, seems disposed to contradict
the opinion previously excited by a certain Report to
the Diet. Austria, it is affirmed, appears more and
more inclined to this idea, as the Austrian merchants
and manufacturers declare themselves wholly fa-
vourable to it. The agents have already waited on
Prince Metternich aid other Ministers and Great
Officers of State. They hope shortly to be admitted
to an audience of the Emperor, and to express to his
Majesty the request that he would be pleased (con-
formably to the wishes of the Austrian merchants
and manufacturers) to declare to the Congress in fa-
vour of a general system of commerce in Germany,
upon which they design to present to tile Congress a
circumstantial Memorial upon the subject. It is said
these very beneficial measures appear to meet but a
very faint opposition, and that from the dealers ire
English manufactures. But the agents of the Ger-
man manufaCturers are said to be now resolved to
prove to the Congress, and in the face of all the So-
vereigns of the Continent, that a commercial system
can never be effectual, on.the whole Continent, again's:
England, aslong as the German markets ase open,
without restriction, to English • goods. In general,
this subject excites, 'in the highest degree, the atten-
tion of all the Members of the Congress, and it can-
not be doubted that the results will be very advan-
tageous to the distressed classes of manufacturers.

GEORGE THE THIRD, HIS COURT, AND FAMILY.—
We have authority to assure our Readers that this
Work, which has been long in preparaUoti, by a Gen-
tleman of distinguished talent, is not a Political
History of the last sixty years, but a most co?ious
anecdotical and strictly personal Memoir of our re-
vered SOVEREIGN, illuttrative of him in hi; regal,
I.olitical, domestic, and literary character. It corn-
prises, of course, numerous anecdotes of persons con-
nected with the Court, and its appearance is conse-
quently looked for with a consisierable degree of im-
patience and curiosity.
A Society has been formed to carry into effect the
good and gracious act of his MAJESTY, in appro-
priating Dartmoor- Forest for the employment of the
poor of the Metropolis, particularly the pauper child
drew; and his MAJESTY has become the beneficent
patron of the Society. On Saturdsy, at three o'clock,
the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and the Right Hon.
the LORD MAYOR, two of the principal Members of
the Society, waited upon the KING, at his Palace in
Pall-Mall, to submit fol. his MAJESTY'S approbation-
the plan suggested for giving permanent employment
to pauper children, under the direction of the Society.
