The Lambton fox-hounds on Thursday at Shincliffe, and on Saturday at High Cocken, at 10. The hlurworth fox-hounds on Friday at Neasbam, at 10.  The gentlemen of the East Sussex fox hunt on Thursday last experienced a day's sport, in the pursuit of two gallant foxes, that Prove d more distressing to their horses than any that had preceded it since the commencement of the hunting season. One poor an* mal, i t creasing the rotten down at Bullen's Bush, Newhaven, dropped (dead, as it was for some time feared) under his rider; but after lying awhile, he in a measure recovered his breath, and on being with great difficulty got upon his legs, was able to walk away. The horse rode by Major Cater, said to be the most valuable of his hunting stud, being unable to travel home to Ringmer, was left at Beddingham, where the poor beast died in the course of the night. The hone of the huntsman, of great fame in the field, on his return home through this town also dropped, but recovered sufficiently to be led to Ringmer. Three couples of the hounds it is supposed pursued the last-hunted fox to earth, as they did not return to their kennel till a late hour of the night. On Thursday the Brighton hounds met near the Dyke, where a fine deer (called Robin Ilood) was turned out in the presence of a numerous field of sportsmen, enlivened by a number of beautiful females, in their carriages, &c. After making a circle over the downs, he returned to near the spot from which he started, for what purpose is not known, unless it was to take another view of the ladies, he having shown some reluctance to leave them. lle then went off in gallant style, (to try the nerves of the sportsmen, and the breed and bottom of their horses) descending the Dyke-hill into the Weald', with the pack settled to the tendolent scent. lie took across to iVickhurst, thence to the Clappers, on for the llomebush across the Ilentield road for Wichfuze, thence for Albourne. where Ile took along the brooks. Finding the hounds close upon him. he went away in view of the pack, and many of the sportsmen ; took across the London read for Danny park, skirting the plantations, turned to the left across Ilunt•road some distance, returned, and was taken in Mr. Holman's premises, at Hort, after a run for an hour and three quarters. From the country being very wet, spills, rolls, and purls, were in the order of the day. Upon looking round, when at Danny, symptoms of a select party appeared, there being only .four horses tip, and but three at Mr. Holtman's ; and several minutes had elapsed before the huntsman and about twenty other gentlemen came up. The deer, culled Little John, was to be turned off this morning, at the same time and place as the last, and it is thought, from Ins appearance, that he will shew good sport. Mondays and Fridays are the days appointed for those gentlemen to take tield alternately till the end of the hunting season. Sutton, the pedestrian, accomplished his task of walking 50 miles a day for six days, 25 miles backward and 25 forward, on Saturday last ; after which, attended by a band of music, and accompanied by a great crowd of persons, he promenaded the town. On Wednesday last he was amusing the inhabitants of MoticeTown by walking backwards.—Devon Paper.  The rot among the sheep has not abated in Sussex ; the animals continue to die of its effects in great numbers. Last week, the wife of a tin-smith, named Mills, resident in Dromore, drowned herself, in consequence of the brutal conduct of her husband, to whom she was martied but three months.  A reward of five guineas has been offered for the apprehension of George Clark, who stands charged by the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful murder of George Wilt!goose, at Washington, Derbyshire, whose death was occasioned by a blow given by Clark in a tight at that place on the 6th of September last.
