Bartleman, of Royston, and two other Gentlemen of the names of Montgomery and Maitland, matched themselves for 100. son, to kill in six hours, on the Ist of Septemher, one hundred and fifty head of game. The parties commenced operations at daybreak, and after two hours' shooting, Mr. Bardeman killed from the starting place, at Puckendge, Herts, over the manors to the right of Coller's-end, thirty-nine partridges and four bares. Mr. Montgomery killed, over the enclosures towards Cambridge, forty partridges and two bares, and Sir. Maitland, who beat towards Knivetun, killed thirty-seven birds and three hares. The whole produce killed at the expiration of the time (twelve o'clock) was one hundred and ninety-two head of game.  The amount of tea sold at the Company's sales—is about twenty-nine millions of pounds per annum.' Anew Joint Sto:k Company-, ie announcing( their intention of employing chunam as a material for Boors, remark, that, as it has not been so used in this country, it is an an:trodden field for speculation.* This is by no means• a bad pun for the City. A Lady named Crowland, of Peeereburgh, 70 years of age, was vaccinated a few days ago, ftelidg alarm et the prevalence of small-pnx in that neighbourhood. Friday morning .betw en the hours or 'teen and eight o'clock,. a bricklayer named Patrick Collins, was severely beaten by two men, also bricklayets, in BarFackstreet. It is supposed that the cause of this assault is, Collins having refused to jom a the turn-out." The assail sacs have for the present escaped. The intention to open a new French Theatre at tile Argyll Rooms, is abandoned, tie Lord Chamberlain, it is said, having refused the application for a liCense; though it was supported by some of the very first personages in the fashionable world. A Miss Cranstone, who eloped with Captain from Streatham, on Friday last, was overtaken at Canterbuty, supping with her inamorato the same night, and was safely c,•nveyed back home by her brother.— They were traced from Croy don, which they left' in a single-horse chaise. Newcome, the constable, who was so seriously in. jored on Wednesday night,`at Vaushall, by in Irishman named Reardon, who was emphyed by the proptietdrs to preserve the musical temple from being injured by the company, now lies in an extremely dangeroui state,* there being a concussion of the brain in consequence of the wound inflicted by a blow from Reardon's staff.Two or three Medical Gentlemen who attend Newcome, anticjpaed that he would die before Sunday night was over. Should he not recover, Reardon will have to take his trial for murder. SUDDIN DaATU.—On Sunray Mr. William Gardner; an old and respectable inhabitant of Richmond, well known from his having many years very usefully, and beneficially for the parish, acted as one of the Mete Vestrymen, and also as a Sideman, died suddenly. He had attended the morning church service, appa.ently in good health, sat down to dinner with his wife, who is now confined with a second child (born about three weeks since), and when in the act of helping himself to some vegetables, fell down and instantly expired. The Rev. Mr. 'GANDY, the much respected Vicar, took occasion, at the end of his sermon in the afternoon, to mention the circumstance, and most impressively, although extemporaneously, inculcated, with the greatest oratory, the good deducible from the awful visitation. Mr. Graham, accompanied ley.Miss Dawson, made a beautiful ascent from the gas-works at Kendal, on Tuesday last, at half-past five o clock. After remaining in the atmosphere one hour and five minutes, they easily effected a landing at the foot of Murton Pike, about four miles from Appleby, and twenty-nine miles from Kendal, on the estate of Lord Grantham. • BALLOON Akira.
