Sunday morning, St. Mary's Church was re-opened for Divine
Service. The appearance of the interior has been totally changed,
and is now chaste and appropriate. The monuments which anions
disfigured the beautiful columns are at length removed, never to
be replaced. The organ has been entirely revamped, ha a style cor•
responding to the rest of the building, in place of the very anoma-
lous one which hitherto covered it. The opportunity has been
taken to put the instrument itself into thorough repair, and to
snake such additions to it as more modern improvements had ren-
dered necessary. It will now be found to yield to few either in
richness and sweetness of tone or in power ; but its effect must be
beard and felt to be understood, and cannot he described. The
galleries have been entirely rebuilt ; the pyramids of seats which
encumbered and concealed the west end of the church removed,
and in their place a plain neat gallery is continued, not only across
the west end, as before, but also along the whole of the north side,
up to the organ gallery; so that there are now galleries on three
sides, whilst the south. which contains the range of windows, is
left open. The Vice-Chancellor's Throne and the Doctors' seats
hole been demolished—not before it was time—and the new ones,
which are chaste and elegant, resembling the stalls of our old Cath-
edrals, are placed on the north side; and the pulpit, a new and
elegant structure, opposite to them, on the south side. The seats
for the Masters are between these two, as before, but necessarily,
from this arrangement, lengthwise, instead of across. The seats
for the Ladies are behind the Doctors, under the gallery on the
north side. The windows have been thoroughly repaired, and
filled with ground glass, the effect of which is novel and extremely
good, and which has the additional advantage of preventing the
necessity of those ugly things called blinds, which disfigure so many
of our churches.

EXTRAORDINARY CHASE WITH HARRIERS.

Thursday week, die nth of February, Mr. Maynard, of Harsley
Hall, afforded a party of sporting friends a most brilliant day's
diversion with his barriers.—After half an hour's pretty hunting
with a hare which was lent ; a second was found upon the Hawk's
Nest Farm, about two miles from Harkey ; the scent was good,
and the hounds (which are chiefly through-bred fox hounds) com-
menced business se vigorously, as to drive poor puss front her ac-
customed haunts ; after a circuit over a fine country, she passed close
to the village of Harsley, and directed her course to the Arncliffe
Woods; these she gallantly penetrated, and made towards Osmo-
therly ; a short check then occurred, near a fir plantation, close to
the village which she entered ;—she was at length discovered leaving
her retreat on the other side of it, snaking back for her deserted
Mme. The bounds ardently resumed their work of toil, and pressed
so closely on her towards Harney, as to compel her to change bet
route ; and she returned again, precisely over the same ground, to
the Arnchff Woods, where she gained a secure shelter in a thick
whin covert, and there the hounds were taken off. This remark.
able chase was calculated to be from 15 to IS miles at the least, and
occupied about two hours, a great part of it being at a clipping pace.
