FOX-HUNTING EXTRAORDINARY.

On Wednesday morning, as Mr. Mapp, landlord of the West- morland Arms, in George Street, near Manchester Square, was riding from Barnet to town, in company with a friend, a fine full- grown fox ran across the road ; when the horses both reared up, and took a spontaneous leap over the hedge. A six-mile chase was the consequence ; when the fox, wearied and breathless, was overtaken in a quickset-hedge, and secured by Mr. Mapp with his own hand. Reynard was then muzzled, slung over Mr. Mapp's horse, and taken to the Zoological Gardens, where he was deposited as a present to the Society.
