SFVRKK CHASE.

Thursday the Sherburne beagles met on Lea-green, in the parish
of Claverdon ; and, notwithstanding the tempestuous state of the
weather, found a hare about mid-day, between Lea-green and
Shrewley Common, which went of he the direction of Sir Edward
A ntrobues property, and after to►ing two circuits round Maley and
the Stone-buildings, trussed Lea-green to Yaraingale Common;
from thence she was viewed. and ran back by the Stone-building,
Posley, Pinley-ahhey, through the valley to Nunhole, to Hatton-
wharf, round by Grove-park, under liatton-hill two rings, and
again up to Grove-parlovbere, unfortunately. a fresh hare was
started, which ran into the Park. The chase may be said to have
been the most severe ever witnessed ; the hounds were running for
upwards of three hours and a half, with nut more than a querter
au ►out's check during the whole run.

The Royal Court of Paris was occupied on Monday
with the following singular affair : The Marquis
d'Harcnurt, eldest son of the Duke d'Harcnurt, and
now a Peer of Fr ance, took into keeping about ten years
ago, the daughter of a garde champelte, *ho, alih.rugh
apparently of low extinction, is said to be dew, Wed
from a noble family. The Marquis was then 33 years of
' age, and the girl 15. Pioperty to a considerable amount
bequeathed to the Marquis, basing been squandered by
him, tie family upon the death of the D.:chess WHAT-
court, obt4ined an interdiction of civil and poiitical
tights against the :Marquis in 1824. This interdicti a
was g,..unded upoti his living in concubinage, frequent-
ing persons in low life, and being given to habits un-
worthy of his rail. In the course of the pre.ent year,
the Marquis d'Harccurt appealed to the Royal Court
to have the interdiction quashed, upon the ground that
the principal grounds upon which it was granted ex.
ioed no longer. The Court, considering dist the non.
existence of these grounds was by no means rowed,
rricted the upped,. wth costs. In the course of the
pleadings, seseral circumstances were stated, which
excited the I..ughter of the Court and the auditory.
It was alleged that the Noble Marquis not only ap-
peared in public with mistress, but was accustomed
to drink with peasants and low people, and was parts-
cularly fond of going to see horses shoed, and hogs '
flayed. Some time since, the Marquis and his
Lady being at an inn of Ttllcries, near which his
family resided, the Commissary of Police called and
inquired whether the female had a passport? Not
having one she was arrested, confined in prison during
the night, and sent off the next day under the escort of
gendarme:, from brigade to brigade, as far as Paris, the
Marquis d'Harcourt following on foot the cart in
which she was conveyed. Three children are the fruit
f this connection. The Courier des Tribusaus, in
speaking of this affair, says :—N However reprehensible
he conduct of the Marquis d'Harcourt, may be, ye
regret that motives to deprive him of his civil and pob.
mat rights should have been sought in the details of
xivate life, and even in the rank of the person upon
whom he had fixed his affection. Was it a crime on his
part not to have pail his addresses to a graude darner
—Galignanis Messenger.
