Tnrerrtsre Mstrcn.—Mr. Brodie, upon his mare aie, per-
formed his match on Thursday, eight miles in half as , at a
trot, with nearly two minutes to spare. it was for' move;
reigns, two miles, on the Huntingdon road. The mate did the
first two miles in minutes three seconds, the second is se-
ven minutes six seconds, the third in Leven minutes four tre.
coods, and the fourth la seven minutet five seconds ; svindles
easy iu 28 minutes 19 seconds.
Ln consequence of theists and protracted state of the harvest,
the Earls of Hardwick. and De la Warr, Mr. Pynr, Mr.,Wor-
them, and several other gentlemen in the neighbourhood of
Royston and on the western side of the county, have agreed-to
postpone the opening of the shooting season till the 15th of
September; a determination which, we understand, is highly
satisfactory to the farmers in that part of the country. Many
of the principal landed proprietors in other districts of the
county have also agreed to a similar resolution, and which is
likely to be adopted in most places.
ACCIDENT IN FIUNTING.—We are sorry to say that one of
the sons of Earl Forteacue met with a severe fall on Friday
last, on Exmoor Forest, near Symondsbath, when in full clip,.
of a slag, and was taken up, quite senseless, by Mr. LUC49,the
Master of the Hunt.—(Terinton Courier.)

WEEKLY REGISTER OF THE WEATHER.
Of this week the greatest portion has been highly favour-
able to the harvest. On Sunday morning, indeed, St. tirriehin
appeared reluctant to resign his dominion ,• bet after sums
heavy rein, a material change was indicated in the atmosphere,
and the latter part of the day was very fine. Early on Monday
morning the wind shifted from the south-west, from which it
had blown for many weeks, to the Eastern quarter, and the
atmosphere was fuggy and warm; and as the day advanced the
wind returned to the South-west, but with a clear and bril,ilat
sky, and the solar rays were more potierful than on any pre-
ceding day this year. Between 1 and 2 o'clock, p. 01. our ther-
mometer exposed to the sun, was at 110 degrees ; that in the
shade was 75, just the same height to which It had risen on the
13th instant ; but there was a striking difference in the tempe-
rature of the latter parts of the two days. Oa the 13th, In the
afternoon, the thermometer began to sink rapidly, whereas 03
Monday last it continued at the same point till nearly sunset.
Tuesday was as complete a contrast to Monday as could hie
imagined ; a dreary day, and rainy most part of the forenoon.
On the coasts of Kent and Sussex, and in parts of Norfolt:
and Suffolk, the rain that day was accompanied with vioint
storms of thunder and lightning; but the thunder did not ex-
tend far either northward or westward. The quantity of rail
fallen here since Saturday last amounts to thirty-two tvia-
drodths of en inch. The wind has been frequently front tae
Eastward io the mornings.
