HUNTING.

The KING% Hounds, the whole of which were nearly de-
stroyed last year, have been renovated this season by various
couples of fine dogs presented to his Maa►srs by Earl Firs-
WILLIAM, the Earl of Dimly, and the Duke of GRA rrom. The
breeds of Earl Frrawit.cusa and the Earl of Dsssv sec said to be
the finest in the kingdom.
BOXING EXTRAORDINARY.

Monday evening, a casual match took place Itetwezn Randall,
Turner, and Spring, or it might, in better term+, be called a
trpdar row. Martin's party assembled at Randall's to offer to
make good the money (three or sir hundred a-side), for him to
'tight Randall a third time. The Nonpareil said he had twice
quited his adversary, and be was satisfied. Some expressions,
savouring more of the energetic than elegant, took place between
Spring and Randall, the former designating Randall " a cur!"
This was not to be brooked by the lion-hearted brave, and, dis-
daining weight, he turned to work. Turner had a share in the
affray, but he hit Randall instead of Spring. Some'frielids in-
terfered, and the row was stopped. Turner got well punished
for his services; and, to wind up the sport, Randall told Spring
that be (Randall) was an honest tighter yeho had won all his
battles, and never was beat by a thing—alluding to Painter.
Thus the important business ended.—The match was not made.

A curious circumstance occurred a few days since
at Castle Baring, in the county of Monmouth, the
seat Of CHARLES BANNATTNE, Esq.—As Mr. BAN-
NATYNE, the Hon. Mr. BROCKHURST, and Mr. HENS,
were on a shooting excursion, the gun of Mr. Haws
went off by accident, lodging its ccntents in a thick
holly bush, whence a brace of pigs, of the wild boar
species, rushed out, making a.precipitate retreat to
the innermost recesses of the wood. Mr. BANNATYNE
fired at the lighter-coloured animal, but the shot
seemed to make no impression ; the Hon. Mr. BROCK-
HURST fired next, and laid the animal prostrate.—
Upon examination it was found to be a hog of th
Indian kind, which, it is supposed, has, with its com-
panion, escaped from some menagerie.
The Isle of Man Newspaper, of October 6, con-
tains a great number of notices for the preservation
of game, and threatening all persons found trespass-
ing with the utmost rigour *of the law. Most of them
conclude with the following humane declaration :
" Poachers shall hare NO aterry!r
A singular circumstance is stated to have occurred
in Chamber-street, New York. The servant of a Gen-
tleman, while splitting a log of wood in the cellar
with an axe, disturbed a large rattle-snake, which
had been concealed in it. 'What renders the circum-
stance more unpleasant is, that the rattle-snake made
its retreat into a hole in the cellar, and has not yet
been caught.
SINGULAR RoPßEßY.—Monday night, about eleven
o'clock, while a hackney-coachman was asleep on
jhis box, in Holborn, waiting for a fare, some rogues
took the horses from the carriage, and escaped with
them, leaving poor Jarvis snoring with the whip in
his hand. On the poor fellow being awoke, his
surprise and consternation may 'easily be conceived.
Yesterday morning the animals were found stripped
of their harness in; field near West-squaret Lambeth.
