EPIDEMIC AMONG HORSES.

We have much pleasure in saying that the disorder which broke out in Mr. Scott's stables at Whitewall Corner, near Malton, has entirely subsided. Whilst we state this gratifying fact, we have to express regret that the virulence among some of the most valuable studs in England has has been extensive, particularly in London. Mr. Taylor, the brewer of Limehouse, lost several valuable drayhorses, all of which were attacked suddenly, and died within a few hours; whilst others have suffered from this scourge to the loss of several hundred pounds. Mr. Stevenson, of the Harrows, Market Weighton, lost nine horses; and a farmer in Fowlis, Perthshire, five.-Mr.G. Moneyment, of Norwich, says, he would most willingly have afforded us the information we solicited-on a practical subject-but "that the epidemic that has been raging of late among horses has so much engaged his attention, that he has had no time to devote to any other pursuit: but that we shall hear from him at the earliest opportunity."

NORFOLK TROTTING STALLIONS.

He is not so fast as the Phenomenon, but is a neat goer, and resembles more the shape of the original Norfolk Hackney.-Mr. G. Goold's Planet, at Swaffham, at 2. 2s. is a dark chesnut, with extraordinary power and action.--Messrs.

and Stakes at Chester and Manchester. The stud of this lamented Gentleman are forthwith to come under the hammer of Messrs. Tattersall.

Webb, the engraver, is dead: and we cannot but express our sincere regret that so eminent an artist is lost to the Sporting World; for since the death of old John Scott, he certainly ranked among the best animal engravers in England. The manner of his death too was highly distressing. He was returning home apparently in perfect health, when he suddenly dropped in the street, and expired on the instant-thus affording another instance of the instability of our frail existence" in the midst of life we are in death." It is also with pain we add that he has left a widow and large young family in very distressed circumstances; and we shall be most happy to receive any contributions which may be forwarded to us to be appropriated for their benefit.

The celebrated stallion X Y Z, the property of R. Riddell, Esq. of Felton Park, near Morpeth, Northumberland, died early in the month. He was foaled in 1808, son of Haphazard, his dam by Spadille out of Sylvia by Young Marske.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

IN commencing a New Volume the Proprietor cannot resist the opportunity of once more offering her most grateful acknowledgments to her Patrons and Subscribers for the distinguished support she continues to receive, and which has been more particularly exemplified within the two last months, during which friends from all quarters have flocked to her standard. Indeed the literary contributions have so much increased that she finds it necessary to extend her pages. To the present Number eight are added, and every succeeding month will contain the same quantity, thereby increasing the Volume by at least fifty-six pages-and this exclusively of what may occasionally be requisite to give insertion to late and important intelligence.

We have to acknowledge the receipt of several interesting communications, particularly from Mr. Berry-Firelock-Wild Boy-An Ould Dragoon-A Brother of the Angle-W. Mogford-J. B. b. v. b. v., &c.-all of which, however, must stand over.

OUR Correspondent "Anti-Humbug" is informed that we never require any portion of the expense of engraving plates to be paid by those who kindly furnish us with subjects. The picture "by the celebrated Howitt" may therefore be forwarded, and, f approved, will be put in hand forthwith, or safely returned, without any charge being made for it.

ERRATUM.-P. 65, line 53, col. 1. for Beiram read Bertram.
