Letters have been received from Milan, which an-
nounce the arrest of one of the assassins who attempted
to murder Colonel BROWNE.

Last night an alarming fire broke out in the house
,of Mr. GIBBONS, carpenter, of Mary-la-bonne-lane,
which involved • the whole neighbourhood in the
greatest confusion. It originated in the lower part
of the house, during the absence of the family, and
was not discovered until it hadreached an alarming
height. In a short time several engines arrived on
the spot, but by this time the ravages of the flames
had extended to the upper part of the house, the rcof
of which fell in with a most tremendous crash.—
, After the lapse of several hours, the flames were got
under, leaving the whole of the premises, with the
property, a complete mass of ruins. At one period
of the fire a report was prevalent that a child wa4,in
the upper pan of the house, which had been left at
home, but we understand, that through the exertions
of a young man, who an great risk of his life, the
child was saved.—A fire also broke out in the house
of Mr. SMITH, of Long-acre, but4rons .the promptest
activity it was prevented doing much damage.

Wednesday s?'nnight a carpenter employed at Belmont, hear
Hereford, observed a for In a trap near the house, and having
procured a bag, was on the point of securing him for a future
chase. Iteyttard, however, thinking ho time like the present for
A run, succeeded by a vigorous effort in extricating himself from
the trap, though' at the expense of one pad, and broke away
through the Old Hill Grove, with the carpenter close at his
brush. During the first burst there were no odds, triped or biped
Clip rather for choice, but Reynard getting warm, led hand-
somely into Prior's Held Wood and Sugwas Coppice. Here it
bring no longer plain work, Chip augured 11l of the issue; but
stertiag the narrow points of those coverts, he had the good
fortune to head Reynard on his road to RuckhaU, and to are
him "which way he was going?" Dismayed at this rencontre,
Rrynard turned towards Clehonger, and would fain have reached
the Haywood coverts, but he was evidently sinking, and Chip
having got a second wind, hammered at him till he finally noised
him in Wallier's Rough, after a run of about two miles in some-
what more than twelve.minutes.
COURSING.

In addition to the account of the Coursing Match
for the Silver Cup, run for on Monday the 13th in-
stant, on Tinwald Hills, near Dumfries, the follow-
ing Bye-Matches were also run for, and afforded, if
possible, better sport than that for the Cup; every
one allowing that they had seldom seen the hare
killed after such races, and upon such sure grdund
Bye-nutch between the Marquis of. QUET.NSSEVAT and Mr.
Score Et.t.tor,—Mr. SCOT? ELLIOT'S spotted dog Bob, beat the
Marquis's w. b. junior; after a most desperate run, arid although
Bob was baulked out of the slip, and lost .1:410 yards in the start,
the hare was killed. Allowed to be as good a run as ever was
seen ; both dogs ,hewing great speed anti bottom.
Bye-match between Mr. Scorr Etttor• and Mr. M‘Cas-x.
Mr. SCOTT ELLIOT'S w. b. Rose, beat Mr. M.Cna r. dog, Play-
fair; a good run; nothing equal, however,• to the last. Rose
fell whilst striking the hare, was severely stunned, and lay some
seconds oo the ground; during which Playfair got far a-head,
and was expected by every one to kill the hare ; but Rose tast,
recovered her ground, gave the dog-the "go-bye," and picked
up the bare straight forward.
Thus ended the day's sport in the.field, of a most
numerous party of amateurs ; after which the Mar-
quis of Quactrsa en wr, with the Members of the Club,
spent a most convtvial evening at the King's Arms.
