Guineas to the Plaid, and has promised to promote the ob)eet

HUNTING.
Lord LONSDALE has lost seven of his hounds, In roniequence
of the gamekeeper having baited Cifington Wood to destroy
vermin, into which the dogs followed a fox, and ate of the poi:
send food.
Monday se'nnight one of the Wansted Stags was again turned
OM at Clapham, Sussex, before the Jevington Hounds, and
isetraed his course MI the Downs to Eastbourn, where, after a
ice chase, he was so hard premed by the dogs, that, to avoid
rthem, he took a desperate leap over the cliff into the sea, and
was drowned.
Saute day a bag Pox was turned out on Newmarket TIM, be-
fore the Brookside Hounds, and ran most gallantly, laving a
scent not common to the Rtynard race, but so powerful, that
it kept the dogs, like greyhounds, at full speed, so that sotre
of the:n were knocked up before the Fox felt any diminution
of strength. The stoutest, however, continued the pursuit aleng
the Downs and across the brooks, to a little orchard near Sir
Henry Blacliman's coal-yard, in Lewes, where the most deter-
mined of the pack ran in to pane Reynard, and tore him limb
from joint. Lady BLOOMFIE1.1) and another Lade were forward
in the chase, wet appeared highly delighted with the arm:sense:it
it afforded them.
GRAND STEEPLE CHASE I`L IRELAND.
' On St. Patrick's Day, a Steeple Chase, for 50 guineas, p.p.
took place at Dungourety, near Middleton. The course, fuer
miles in nearly a direct line, from Dungourney to Leamlera,
extended over bill and dale, across a deep ravine, through which
the new road from Fermoy to hliddleton passes. The hall lees
very steep, with some soft ground, sufficient to try the bottom
of the best horse. The first sporting characters in the country
were present. There were at least I'uo horsemen in the field...-
all the equestrians of note, of eluskerry, Imokiffy, Barremore,
the. There could not be less than 5,000 on foot, all in their
ben. with shamrocks in their hats and bonnets. Every thins
WAS marked with good humour, and its attendants good order
mil regularity. Red flags on the tops of the ditelies marked the
amuse. Some of the ditches were broad, high, andsstiff, fit only
for horses that had a le!: to spare-
There were six Candidates.—At half-past two they started,
loud and repeated huzzah heard the whole distance of the four
miles, gave notice of the conimencement of the rate—,very one
cleared the way, and tonk their station. At length wee' the
rival candidates, taking each key in a stroke, passing !Ike liyhr.
ning the accompanying horsemen, all hands cheering es tti,y
came along. The first three (County Cork horses) were so very
near that it Was almost impossible to say who would win—
sometimes Barry's' sometimes and sometimes Yyne's.
At length they closed the witininz.pont, and came in in the ;el-
lowire order : k.

years of age, rode Dandy in superior style, and as that bore

his excellent horsemanship on the present occasion. There was
but little difference between the first three horseh Mr. Pyne
would have come iu secoud, but that his horse felt in the latter
part of the race.
SPARRING ATNE THE MINOR

Denneke, the Irish Champion, took his benefit at the above
Theatre yemil day, and, like all other popular performers, he
had a bumper. and amongA the auditory were many persons cf
distint Lion, whom curiosity had led thither for the gretitieution
of viewing the qualifications of the Irish Champion, who Lad
beat one of the most aecomplished English puailists on the list.

Shelton paid fur his free-o,buisicm to the Pit, by getting Dace

peppered him about the‘head, and then wisely ceased hostilities,
by taking off the gloves. Curler and Donnelly mimic en interest-
ing set-to; but having sparred so much together, it was not equal
to that with Donnelly and Burn. Randall and &mains made
an excellent set-to, but the former spoiled some of Scroggins's
mountebank attitudes to get in.--All the cognoscenti are alive to

CORN-EXCMANG F., MARK-LANE, MARCH re,
Although we have had but few arrivals from our
own coast since Monday, the sale of English Wheat
was very heavy at Monday's prices, having but little
demand this morning. The Harley trade is in such
a state of stagnation that scarce a sale could be ef-
fected to-day, although lower prices were asked by
full 4s. per quarter, and the quantity at market is
much greater than could have keen expected at thee
season.—Oats, Beans, And Peas, are also dull sale,
and rather lower than op Monday,
