EXTRAORDINARY FOX cHAcE.
The annals of fox hunting, we think, sell
dom present any thing equal to the follow
ing detail OF chace which took place
few weeds ago. A numerous and highly
respectable field Of sportsmen turned out at
the Twemlew Moor, on Thursday the 18th
ult. where they soon started fox, and, af-
ter run oftwo hours, they pursued him in
TO the town of Whitchurch. In the Green
End he was met dy several persons, who
drove him back over the Town Pool Mea-
dow, from whence he took refuge in The
garden of John Knight, esq. Here the
hounds met with check, and the sports
men not being able to get into the garden,
were obliged to ride up the White Lionyard
through the town, into DodiDgton. Sly rey-
nard was, however, soon driven from his
hiding place by the huntsmen, and he took
into the garden of Miss E. Langford, and
got into the cupboard, whittier be was pur-
sued by the dogs ard taken. The con,ter-
nation of Miss Langford, who is an elderly
maiden Lady, may be more easily conceiv-
ed than described, in having fox and
whole pack of hounds in her house, and
about fifty red coats assaiing The house
without, headed oy the gallant lord Hill.
Here, however, we are compelled TO say,
the noble generals skill did not so effectu-
ally serve him as in his peninsular cam
paigns, for he could not possibly force the
citadel in front, but was obliged to move
by a circuitous route into the rear, where
free egress having been left for Mrs. Lang
ford's unexpected visitors, the fox and
hounds, bis lordsbip and comrades, had an
easy entrance. But ifimposible to describe
the feelings Of Miss Longford, what can
be sail for those of her antiauated maid,
poor Betty Nunerly, who happened to be
commng down the stairs, in red night
cap, at the time the fox and dogs wer as
cending. Among the sportsmen Sir John
Hill, bart, was conspicuous. This "Father
Of Aenes," although between 70 and SO
years Of age, rides with as much spirit as
any of the young ones, and is generally in
at the death The worthy boronet was at
tended by three of his SONS, and the brush
was taken by the son of the late highly re-
spectacle Colonel Hill, and grandson of
Sir John. Lord Loughborough and seve-
raj gentlemen of distinction were present.

We are indebted to friend for Paris
papers TO March 6, received by the Dido,
from Havre. Their principal contents
have been already furnished TO US by the
English papers. They are almost filed
with debates and other discussions on the
proposition for modification OF the law of
elections. The Emperor of Russia has
published an ordinance by which the right
of establishing manufactures of every des-
cription is granted to the peasants. il hav-
ing been before confined TO the nobility and
merchants. The mourning for the late
king of Sweden was continued for whole
year, except one month, when it was sus-
pended on account OF the coronation; and
it was for that reason continued month
beyond the year. But the long period of
wearing mourning having proved injurious
TO trade, the king shaving taken into consi-
dera.ion that the loss of good king, or of
a member of the royal family, is great e.
nough fora faithful people without increas-
ing it by any obseryances injurious to the
public industry" has ordained that for the
future mourning for king or queen shall
last but six months. births in Stock
holm during the year 1918, were 2544-
deaths, aS80,---marriages, 5O5,-divor-
ces,, &c.
