Tacirrimo.—Yesterday morning a trotting match in bernest
took place on the road to Walthamstow, for 39 sovereigns, be-
tween a horse belonging to Mr. Kerrlion, and the horse of a
Publican in the Hackney road ; they were to trot one hour
against each other. They started at seven o'clock, in the pre-
sence of a number of sporting men, and Kerrisoo's horse ap-
peared the favourite; but he had not proceeded abote half en
hour, keeping the lead, before he fell lame. The wager, of
course, was lost; but the Publican's horse performed II miles
in the hour.

FROM 011.10grANI'S MESciNCCR. OF SATF•RnkT LAST—
Our relaters will rim tllect that about a f• *Wield age we
copied from The Exeter Gazette a peragrath to the follow-
ing effect:—" A lovely and fascinating young lady of hies
connexions eloped front her family, who reside a short
oistance from Exeter, a few Jets since, with a 'wariest
man, a Captain of Dragoons." We are now enabled to lay
before oar readers a statement of the subsequent OMIT.
rencee relating to this Belie tie elf tir. As soon as the elope-
ment was diecovereol, Mr. Robert M—Ps, one of the young
Lady's brothers. immediately followed the parties to the
Continent, and after proceeding to Paris, and thence as far
south as Lyons, and then back to Paris, lie there met with
Mr. De L—sle, whom he iitimedi ttely struck repeatedly
with lo.s stick, observing. " Now, lir, you know your re-
medy." Mr. De L—ale, feeling that this attack compelled
him to call on the brother to answer for the insult offered,
he did so ; and a meeting in consequence took pace yes-
terday morning in the Bois de Rod *Vie ; Mr. M-114 being
attended by Mr. E. U. W —f—d ; and Mr. De la—ele, by
Lieut. Arch—h—ld of the Royal Navy. it having been
settled that both should tire at the same time, and the
usual signal being given, Mr. M --Ds instantly raised his
arm, bet perceiving that Mr. De L —ale bad not done the
seine, he immediately lowered it. exclaiming. "we are to
lire togethereare we nut I' 'ro this the seconds replied. yes.
most certainly ;" •and a fresh sign .1 being given, both
parties presented, and Mr. M-113 fi-ed, but missed. Mr.
De L—sle then discharged his shot iu the air, declaring to
his second, that" although the measure resorted to by Mr.
M —lls had compelled him to dernonit satisfaction, yet con-
sidering himself, as he ever must, the original aggressor, he
never intended to fire at him, nor ever uotild. Here the
seconds interfered, and the matter necessarily ended.
On Sunday evening the hoes. of the Rev. Mr. Clark, a Ca-
tholic priescresiding near Bancroft's Alms nooses, in the Mile
End Road, was broken open, and three boxes. containing
plate, gold and silver images of great antiquity, with silver
and copper coins, books. &c. were carried away. Mr. Clark
is on a visit at Brighton, and the housekeeper and a female sera
rant. who were left in care Pr the hsase, were absent on a
day's pleasure when the robbery was committed. 0.1 'he morn-
ing after its perpetrstion, in cluieguence of some information,
Messrs.. Lynes and nowt, cot... Holes, after dragging serve
time, took out of the Regent's Canal. at limaitonse. a blank
bag. containing some papers, pieces of old coin, nod other ice.
tides of minor value, which were among the property stolen.
The County Chronicle steles that the Rector of a parish
in Sussex has bad a tru- boll footed again .t. him for a hor-
rible crime. The Sussex Advertiser, in its notes to cor-
respon•lenta, has the following reference to the shocking
affair : —" We beg to a• knowledge the receipt of a memorial
of the parishioners of Ewburat, tonchinx the alleged cri-
minal conduct of their Rector, together with the ease (as
supported by evidence) and Dr. Swahey's opinion thermos;
but as they exhibit matter which (although directed by a
meeting of the principal parishioners, with only use dis-
senting voice.) cannot with any decency or propriety be
laid before the public, we shall dismiss the dissasting Sub-
ject by observing, that the bill of indictment for Sodomy,
returned by the Grand Jury into Court, at our last Melees.
a true fill, was grounded on the proceedings above at
hided to."
The Thetis and the Cone`ance frigates, commanded by
Captains Ronganvilic and S did Simon, are charged with
a similar mission to Heneral Morales add the Spanish
Admiral commanding the equation stationed off Huard,
and we expect from it the same results.
