SPORTING INTLLIGENCS,

We have been favoured with the following ac_
curate account of a remarkable. Fox Chaco Milli
the Duke of G n.terJrt 's hounds, on Thursday last,
Dec. '2B, 1809 :—.7" MCc at Poke()ham-hall, drew
the Fen, found at the outward edgi of it towards
the track up to the Wood, where the fox jerapeg
up among the hounds, and in full view of a nume-
rous field, ho ran up to Pakenharn I% ood, anil
through it, in its narrowest part, fur Thurston.
Plain, towards Barton, leaving the Shrub on the
right and Itougham un the left, fiver Blowthorp
Heath to Eldo Stubbs, Hushbrooke, and the
Link ; on the right of which he passed to Brad_
field, leaving Free weed and Monk's Park on the
left ; from thence to Cockfield and Lavenhani,
leaving the Springs on the left ; than 00 to the
Waldingfields, Newton, and the Curnards, leav-
ing Sudbury about two miles on the right, through.
Assington nicks to Butes ; and from thence on
for Nayland, in which parish the fox was course('
and killed by a cur dog, at the end of a Chaco of
five hours, without going into any cover, except
the small one of Eldu Stubbs and Assington
Thilks. The fat was viewed several times by the
horsemen in the last four or 4re miles, but iu go..
neral, latterly, the hounds teat the horsemen
long way, and were going in a good body to the
last. The distance from Pakenham Fen, where
the foe was found, to the spot where the hounds
were foiled, by his being coursed, and where the
chece ended, is upwards of 24 miles, as the crew
flies. The hounds get back as far as Sudbury that
night, and reached their own kennel, at Eustont
about three o'clock the following afternoun."-
Couissirto.—At the last Newmarket Meeting
upwards of eighty brace of greyhound* appeared
there from the different counties. In one day
twenty-four courses were run. Lord limas,
with his Wiltshire dogs, was the chief winner ef
matches; but, the best greyhound there, w. 4. Aglit
to be Mr. GURNEY'S Adoniral, of the Norfolk
breed. Tho hares, however, in that cowry, as
iu all others, have run so remarkably stout; (hie
season, as to render the dogs only seconcf-594

Heligoland begins to nourish as p commercial
depot: The population has increased considerably
since it was taken possession of by the British.
It is the more valuable, as it can be kept without
the expence of a large garrison, or an expansive
civil.establishment. The English Merchants there,
and their connections, are erecting q large anti
commodious tavern and assembly-rpotn, by 41AT
scription shares, the woutt work of which is im-
ported from Gottenburgh.

IRELAND.—At the late Linen-market in Dub.
lin, fine linens met an extremely dull sale. Coarse
goods, particularly half-bleach-ed yard.wides, and
7-Bths widths, in general afforded good profits.—
Many of the coarse linens sold were for Spain, and
some for the West Indies. Since the market,
coarse linens have risen greatly.
The Duchess vt DORSET has ordered the beautiT
ful monument, which she erected in the Church
of Withyhain, in Sussex, to the memory of the
late Dhke, to undergo a complete repair. It is '
by NoLuxens, and entirely of white marble.
Troubles have broliten out inDalinatia, which the
French Governor General has declared in a State
of siege. A Proclamation h;s been published tq
the people, threatening them with the eererest
punishment if they du nut return to obedience and '
tranquillity. Hitherto these threats have hut •
little effect—the people, detest the French.
The fire, on Monday oight..,at Mr. Amisfire't
tlniber:sthairf, near Blackfriars, contained nearly
thirty thousand pounds worth of timber, Seven
thousand pounds of which had only been landed
a few days ago, and was not insured. Of eighteest
horses .in his and Mr. Pocock's stables' only
11011111# were saved, including one that had its miff
burnt off.

BALTIC.—The merchants assert, that there
never was so great a trade carried on with so little
loss u that to the Baltic has becti during the past
year. The number of vessels that have passed
through the Belt, under the protection of Ad.
miral Dixores squadron alone, between the 26tit
of June and the Bth of November, amounts to
2210, not one of which has been captured by the
enemy. Three convoys have sailed from di;
country for Sweden, since it was known here that
the Swedish ports were to be shut against us 00 lb"
15th inst.
UNION.HALL....EIizabeth Eames, the 41ugh!

tleman, who resides in Guildford.street. The as

to fight a pitcked battle.
