will meet at Dkadmoor to-morrow, in the Vale of BLckmoot,
near Sturminster Nbwtnn, ten miles from Blandford, and about
the SnIX. distance-front Shaftesbury.
Saturday the Earl of Deaer's stag-hounds met near Leather-
head, where a famous old hunted stag was turned out, which
afforded an excellent day's spurt. After a circuitous run for
Dearly Ave hours and a half, he was taken near the River Mole,
near Paynes lull. Surrey. The Noble Earl continued the chace
for upwards of two hours.
Fifty pounds given by the Dublin Ormond Hunt to stike 56
guineas each, was run for on St. Patrick's Day, pursuant to no-
tice, by the following c.lebrated hunters :—The lion. Geerge
(Yeallaghau's horses, Zanga and Jokesides, aged, 13st. each,
the fanner rode by Mr. Carew, the latter by Mr. Croker ; Mr.
Atkinson's Sir Edward (the winner), aged, 13st. rode by Mr.
Smith ; Mr. Scully's horse Banker (thejwcwd), aged, 13st. rode
by the owner; Mr. O'Brien's g. g. Ma&heath (the third), four
lyears old, list. 71b. rode by Mr. Unthank ; Mr. Smith's Supe-
rior, 5 years old, I2st. rode by Mr. Lee ; Mr. Crawford's Tris-
tram, aged, 13st. rode by Mr. Pullen; two others paid forfeit.
The start was given by Mr: Minehin, in a valley beneath the
well-known fox earth the Devil's Bit, and from i a utiformky
and the impetuosity of the riders, eager to dash forward, resembled
a charge en ttailitoire for the first two miles; so far, it was a
rapid ascent, and so far, the contending Nimrod* appeared
to ride almost hand in band until they reached the summit
of the first hill, on the brink of which stood a firm-built
double stone wall, five feet four inches high ; Sir Edward
(the winner), Superior, and Mackbeeth, leaped it without touch.
ing it; the others, in a most sporting style, and without a baulk,
but, from being too cool and not trained for a race of its peculiar
description, lost some little ground. Here, for the first time,
the &ace assumed a different appearance ; what first resembled
a squadron, now formed in file ; desperation still was the order
ofthe day ; no creeping or crawling, but straight forward flying
from field to field, through a succession of steep hills, when,
after a race of five miles, unexampled even in this country, it
terminated In the plains of Yeornanstown. High odds at start-
ing, it was not won in twenty minutes. The race exceeded all
expectation. The five miles, with sixteen leaps, were run in
fifteen minutes!

Bosnso.—At the Cambriege Axis s, E lward 1112 r, :Miaow
Harrison, and Join Baker, were indicted for the murder of Jas.
Pleasance. A bank took place between Dear and the deceased
on the 24th of February last, when Ilarrison and Baker beat
and kicked the deceased in a cruel manner, who, after lingering
a few days, expired. The Grand Jury returned no true bill
against Dow, and a true bill against Harrison and Baker. The
facts were completely made out ha evidence, and the Jue y re-
turned a verdict of Manslaughter. In passing sentence, the
Learned Judge made some severe remarks to the prisoners, Pay.
titularly to Harrison, on the enormity of his conduct towards
the deceased, and the narrow escape of both prisoners in forfeit-
ing their lives to the offended laws of their country. The sen-
tence upon Harrison was, to pay a fine of one shilling and be
imprisoned six months, and Baker to be imprisoned three months.
A man, calling himself a giant, and professing to be eight feet
high, was, a few days since, committed to Macclesfield Jail, on
a charge of obtaining money under false pretences; his real
height was about six feet six inches, and he wore a sort of stuffed
boots, so as to increase his stature. Ills long legs, of course, ex-
cited suspicion, and led to the discovery of the imposition.

person laid an emphasis upon, is not that that that should have

had met with a severe accident in Earbstreet, and
that she had been sent by him to have the servant-
maid dispatched with his great-coat, and a carriage to
convey him home, which was instantly complied with.
The entire story, however, was a fabrication, no such
accident had happened to Capt. Papst. On the return
of the servant, Ole found the place in great disorder,
the house robbed, and her mistress murdered—the
property taken was considerable She insantly gave
the alarm. The deceased was found lathe kitchen,
