Colonel BERKELPY'S fox-bounds had a brilliant
day's sport a few days age; in the vale of Berkeley,
which afforded a run of two hours and forty minutes
over one of the most enclosed countries in England.
The whole chase was estimated at twenty-five miles.
Several gentlemen had severe tumbles, and a great
number of horses were lamed. The dogs were at
length whipped off, or the chase must have continued
by moonlight, and Reynard thus escaped.
A fox was lately discovered in a timber-yard in
Clyde-street, Glasgow. The workmen were imme-
diately collected, and he was caught, and carried off
to shew his swiftness elsewhere. It is thought that
the fox was about the timber-yard for three weeks
before he was discovered, as the remains of poultry
were found lying, and he had been often seen, as
other " sky-larkers are," by the watchmen.
A melancholy accident happened at Kilmarnock
on Tuesday sennight. A young man, of the name
of Alexander Thomson, belonging to that town, ss hen
taking a Gentleman's horse to water, which had just
arrived at the Angel Inn, the spirited animal started!
at a person passing, and fell with its rider under it,
who was killed on the spot.
A few days ago a fine young man, employed at
the Limekiln Saltworks, near Edinburgh, fell acci-
dentally into one of the boiling pans, and was so
shockingly scalded that he died the following day.
Wednesday last a Kirkaldy pinnace arrived at
Leith, having on board two ponderous boxes, in
landing one of which, the bottom gave way, and, to
the consternation of all assembled, a dead body fell
upon the ground. The other box being examined,
was found to be filled with similar contents. The
persons who had them in charge were immediately
detained, and carried before the Magistrates, who
ordained that they should be re-conveyed, along with
the boxes they had in charge, by the same pinnace,
to the port from whence they came, under the care of
two constables, and by them to be given over in
charge to the Magistrates of Kirkaldy.
FORTUNATE EKAPE.—Monday, a fire broke out
in the house of Mr. NZWMAN, : aker, at Edmonton ;
it began in the upper part, in ore of which rooms
was a woman-servant. The devouring element had
made such progress as to intercept the passage of the
young woralto down stairs, when she flew to the win-
dow and precipitated herself from a three-stories wins ,
dow ; she escaped with only a trifling contusion in
one of her legs, and is doing very well.
