The favourable nature of the weather and the ground, the ex-
cellence of the dogs, anti the strength of the hares, rendered the
fret more than usually attractive; and from the numbers and re-
spectability of the crowd that followed and watched every motion
of the club, it was evident to every close observer,that husbandry
must have stood still In a wide district of country around. The
heat between Major Crichton's Camilla, and Mr. Ridden' Rain-
bow was protracted almost beyond precedent, so much so, in-
deed, that the judges at first felt some difficulty in deciding which
dog bad won. At the dinner every thing went on well, and we
are happy :o add, that his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, who is
President of the Club, has intimate/ his intention of being present
at the opting meeting in February.

CHELTENHAM, Nov. 12.
The Studs of no less than eight Fox Hunters arrived here
last week. The Duke of Beaufott's Fox Hounds threw off on
Friday kat to a large field of Gentkmen at Upper Slaughter,
where they immediately found, and the fox gallantly took the
open country towards Stow•on the-Wold, and after a run of an
►out and Ave minutes reached Lord Northwick's Wood. where
the Duke ia the most
.sportsmanlike manner ordered the bounds
to be whipt off for fear of disturbing the cover, as it was the ap.
gaited place of meeting for Colonel Berkeley's hounds the sue-
's:boding day. On Saturday Colonel Berkeley's hounds met 'la
Lord Nonnwiet's earl. and immediately found In the adjoining
Wood. After a famous run of 18 miles, which occupied an hour
and ten nsioutes, the fox succeeded in gaining the earth, and thus
saved Isis life. AU the horses were distressed, and one shortly
after died.—Dowdeswell is the place of meeting for Wednesdays
which being within three miles of Cheltenham, will no doubt at-
tract many Ladies to see the bounds throw off.
GRAND TROTTING MATCH.
A grand tracing march took place, early on Monday morning,
to decide a bet of fifty sovereigns, between Mr. Farrows and Mr.
George Nichols, the former Gentleman undertaking to trot his
horse sixteen miles In one hour, and the latter Gentleman betting
against doing it In the time specified. It was decided upon • two
mile piece of ground on the
.Brighton Road, •s follows—The first
eight miles were done in twenty eight minutes, fifty-two seconds,
and the remaining eight miles in thirty-two minutes and twelve
seconds, thus losing the match by one minute and four seconds.—
, Betting at starting was six to four uo time.
PIGEON MATCH. •
- -

A grand match of pigeon shooting took place on Wednesday, at
the Bustard Inn, on Salisbury Plain, between a skeet party of
Gentlemen, supposed to consist of some of the best shots to the
county, invited by Mr. W. Cambridge, for a superb silver
cup, very elegantly chased, a handsome musical anuir.bos, and a
pair of silver table spoons. The shooting was excellent on all sides,
as very few birds were missed. The cup was ultimately woo, after
a long contest ottyes, double and treble, by MT. W. Cambridge,
of Orcheston, by killing eleven birds hallowing; the snuf•box was
won by Mr. H. Pocock, of Tholestone Farm, and the spoons by
Mr. William Taylor, of Baldbam. One buodred and ninety-vii
birds were shot at, and nearly all killed- —Hiatt+ Advertiser.

rsorirAscs EMPLOYMENT or THE Pooa —Mr.
PORTMAN, M.P. for the county of Dorset, is taking
effectual means to improve the condition of the peasan-
try,in those parishes in which he has property. Some ,
time since Mr,,gbambers, the late banker, purchased the
estate of Chet tle, in Dor set shire, bordering on Cranborne
Chase, and adopted there a mode of ploughing, deemed
by the farmers of that part of the country most unfit for
the thin chalky soil which abounds there. By the use
of the trench plough a new soil, which had never be-
fore been exposed to the air, was turned up, and the or-
dinary surface buried. The land so treated has since pro-
duced crops far exceeding in (pawky and quality that
which the soil yielded on the old plan. Mr. Portman has
since improved on the principle, and is using the
spade instead of the plough, by which mode of
trenching a number of labourers are employed at
ninepenee a perch, or six pounds an acre, in trench
digging a large quantity of furze land belonging to
his. estates. Laud, before deemed unprofitable, is
thus rendered highly productive, and work provided
for the poor, for which they are fairly recompensed.
It every landowner in the kingdom were to adopt
the same plan, or to allow a deduction from his
tenant's rent in proportion to the additional expen-
diture thus occasioned, it would prove en effectual
means of destroying the habit of pauperism, and thus
prevent the conversion .of our peasantry into a spe-
cies of slave. As large crops of flax are commonly
produced on virgin soil, if about 20 acres of land in
every parish were thus cultivated, employment might
be found in the winter season for women and children in
the succeeding year, as well as for the men at present—
Would not some plan of this sot the generally practicable,
so as to prevent the necessity of an expensive emigration,
at least so far as England is concerned.

SINGULAR HOSPITAL CASlG—William Hunt, aged
44, was admitted on board the Seamen's Hospital, on
the 23d of February, 1826, with severe inflammation
of the contents of the thorax, and died in a few hours.
On admission, he stated, that in 1812 he received a
wound in his left- side from a musket ball, which was
still in hischest, and that-since that period he had been
subject to violent inflammations after exposure to wet or
cold. The present attack came on a few days after
arriving from sea, where he had been much exposed to
cold. Oa opening the thorax, the attention was directed
to the left side, principally fad the reason that there
was a very obvious depression observable on the nu-
face of the third rib. Continuing the examination, which
Was pursued with extreme caution, a cyst was seen,
,which was found to contain a piece of iron hoop, about
an inch in length, and of the form of a crescent. The
lung of that side was completely hepatised. The upper
part of the trachea .and bronchia contained pus. The
other lung was comparatively sound, inasmuch as the
bronchia of that side did not contain pus; neither was
that lung hepatised. There ;sere slight adhesions.—

A rather curious adventure beferthe Holyhead mail
coach, a few nights ago, on the road from St. Asaph to
Abergele. TbOeingthecoAchman's first drive upon
the road, he ii*"'of course, unacquainted with it ; but,
on coming to M end of St. Asaph bridge, where :he
rdad branches off one way to Abergele, and the other
to Rhydlan, took the road to Rhydlan, and proceeded
merrily. along it. The mistake was not discovered until
a fair Hibernian, who was an inside passenger, happen
ing to put her head outsiie the window, inquired what
bridge it was they were coming to ? " Bridge !" ex-
claimed her companion, "it can't be a bridge, Madam."
"By my faith it is," replied the Lady ; at least it is
what we should call one in my conniry, whatever you
may do in years." To satisfy himself, the Gentleman
took a peep through the opposite, when, lo ! to his inex-
pressible surprise, he found that they were on the centre
of Rhydlan bridge, 'three miles from St. Asaph. On
recovering a little from his astonishment. be shouted to
the coachman—" Where the deuce are you driving us
to?" At this unexpected interrogation, the coach was'
suddenly stopped ; the guard stared wildly at the ship-
ping in the river, and-the paisengefs knew not what to
think. A council being convened, it was unanimously
agreed that they should make the best of their way back-
again ; but, before they could turn, they were obliged to
drive through the town, thus fulfilling an ancient Welsh
prediction, that " When a bridge should be built over
Conway ferry, the London Rojal mail coach should be
[ driven through Rhydlan." The Rhydlan and_Abergele
toll gate houses are on opposite sides of the road, but
the guard did not discover the difference though bt
