CAPITAL RUN WITH, THE CHESHIRE Fox HOUNDS.—
This old-established and excellent pack iet on Saturday
week, at Acton Village, near Nantwich. As usual, at this
fixture there was a very good field, increased on this occa-
sion by the anxiety of many to avail themselves of the first
favourable opportunity for hunting after the frost. A fox
was found, about one o'clock, in the Hurlestone Thorns,
from whence he went to Dorfold, turned to the right through
Tally-ho gorse, then through Baddiley, leaving the canal on
the right, into Sound, by Sound Hall, over a part of Eddies-
ton, into Baddington and Broomhall, passing Cool Pilate
cover to the left, and running very near to Brooks Mill
rough. Turning over the river Weaver and the Liverpool
and Birmingham canal, he ran up to the village of Audlem,
where he was viewed close: before the hounds. Passing
through the village, the churchyard, and several gardens, he
mu for Mr. Baker's, of the Highfields, from thence near to
Buerton windmill, and up for Woore. Here he turned to
the left, leaving Pewit Gorse on the right, down for Hather-
ton Heath, across Doddington Park, through Walgherton
Pool, turning again to the left down to the river. At this
period it became so very dark that the huntsman was com-
pelled to stop the hounds when they-were running their fox
haft! for Hankelow. J. Tonikinson, Esq., of Dorfold, was
the only one besides Maiden, the huntsman, that witnessed
the finish of this excellent day's sport. The run of this day,
like others, proves the stoutness of the Woore country foxes.
The distance from the kennels to where the hounds were
stopped was 25 miles, and although neither of the whips
were up, Maiden brought every hound home with him. On
his return past Dorfold, he met with his second whip, and it
was half-past ten o'clock at night before they got home to
the kennels on the Forest.

, MANCIIESTER.---TuEsnAy EVENING.
Probably, in anticipation of something transpiring in re-
spect to the Chester Cup horses, the room this forenoon was
so crowded as to cause a difficulty of obtaining even standing
room. Several parties from the country were present. Some
bets were made on the Walsall election at 2 to 1 on " the
tory the other party afterwards refused to take less than
sto 2. It has excited great jnterest in many circles.
THE CHESTER Cur.—hi to 1 was laid in tens at first v.
Bloomsbury • then one gentleman offered to back him for a
sum at 7 to 1'; before long, he laid in ponies, then in fifties,
and then 6 to 1 in ponies. This was offered to be taken
at the close, when 53 was offered in hundreds. 10 to 1 offered
against Gallipot ; 12 to 1 wanted to a sum. 100 to 8 offered

the First; 30 to 1 wanted. 4to 1 would have been taken on
