Hunting tite Ostrich . —The spoed of tho ostrich is proverbial , and it is considered n great feat to rido one down . A Hoer onco gave mo tho following account of a chnBo of this kind , for tho truth of which , however , I do not protend to bo answerable . Having determined to Ioho no ehaneo of effecting his object , he lay in wait near tho spot where tho bird was accustomed to drink , whicb they do but onco a-day , and then in such quantities as materially to affect their speed , or at all events their power of endurance in a long run . Ah soon as tho oHtrich had drunk his fill the Boer gave chase , mounted on his best steed . I To had previously observed tho courso which tho bird usually tox > k on leaving tho water , and had sent on two horses to net an relays in ease of necessity . Nor was tho precaution superfluous , for it was not till the third horse was ridden to a stand-still
that ho was able to corno alongside of the object , of his pursuit , and to givo tho halloo of victory . His triumph was dearly bought , for of tho three hornes he had ridden two lay dead upon tho plain , and tho third never completely recovered tho effects of this terriblo burst . Swift an he in , however , the employment of ft nimplo stratagem renders the ostrich an cany victim to hi « pursuers A stern chase is Always a long chase , and , well await ) of this truth , tho hunters , three or four in number , separate themselves , and try to head and surround tho bird , till , harassed and besot on all sides , it loses tho power to escape , and , standing helpless and motionless , suffers itself to bo captured without ft ( Struggle , —JU « TEit ' i * Dorp and V < M ,

Saturday , January 22 . Me . SadIiEIR , it seems will be returned for some other place . It is said that two members who had heretofore occupied prominent positions in the " Iriali party" are not at all satisfied with the opposition given to the re-election of the gentlemen who have accepted place under the Ministry of Lord Aberdeen ; and as the best practical method of evincing their hostility , each of those members has made an offer to accept the Chiltern Hundreds as soon as the House meets in February , in order to afford Mr . Sadleir an opportunity of proffering his services to another constituency , The
Freeman ' s Journal points to Mr . Dunne , one of the representatives for the Queen ' s county , as being a party to this negotiation , but hesitates to believe that he would be guilty of such flngrant treason to the sacred cause of obstruction . Nevertheless people do believe that the organ ia not very wide of the mark , especially as the state of Mr . Dunne ' s health but ill suits him for the fatigues of Parliamentary life . The other gentleman mentioned is Mr . T . Devereux , the member for the borough of Wexford , and who , the other day , turned
his back on the Tenant League rather than be an accomplice in a resolution embodying a wholesale condemnation of men not present to defend themselves . The Evening Post , a strenuous supporter of Mr . Sadleir , attributes Mr . Alexander ' s success , not to the exertions of the League and Equality-mongers , but to the practice of the " most profligate and audacious bribery on the part of the Tories , to an extent totally unprecedented in this country . " The Post further alleges , that on the day of election the sum of l , 000 £ . was offered to an elector for his vote , or 5001 . if he
remained away . Mr . Ingersoll , the American Minister , was entertained at dinner , at Dee ' s Hotel , by about 150 of the leading merchants and traders of Birmingham last night . Mr . Muntz was in the chair . In returning thanks for his health , Mr . Ingersoll expressed his high gratification at the compliment paid to his country through him , and hoped the two nations would ever be united in peace and harmony , and in the promotion of liberty and civilization . He rejoiced that the tribute of respect had been paid to him at a moment when this country enjoyed so much prosperity , and trusted that the business relations between England and the United States would always go on increasing . A great number of toasts were drunk , and the party separated at eleven o'clock .

" The news of tho downfall of the Derby and Disraeli Ministry , " says tho New York correspondent of the Times , " lias been received in this country with exultation by all tho friends of freedom of commerce . Wo have none of us been able to understand the reasons why tho Derby Ministry could expect to retain power . There was nothing positivo about it . Tho Ministers seemed to have gone to their constituents with no earnestness of creed , with no well-established principles
of financial policy . In ono shire they preached Protection , in another half-and-half tariffs , and in others still Free-trade , if people demanded it . Such ( Jovernments cannot livo in this positive age . And since tliero is a prospect that the Earl of Aberdeen , Lord John Russell , and Mr . Gladstone are to go into the new Ministry , it seems likely that these names will inspire a greater degree of confidence , both in our ( iovernment and among our people , than any other Ministry that has existed for any considerable time in Great Britain .

There was yesterday an improved feeling on tho liourso , as compared with Wednesday last . ft seems to be itow considered that tho Emperor ' s marriage having been assented to by the Corps Diplomatique , the event will consolidate tho domestic policy of France with tho peace of tho rest of fthiropo ; hence the public securities nearly regained the position from which they fell on Wednesday , the Three per Cents , closing at 7 i ) f . 95 c , and tho Four-and-a-half per cents , at l () 5 f . The cloning quotation of Bank Stock , however , was 2 R 0 () f ., being the sumo as on tho two days previous , after the serious decline in all kinds of securities . A trifling advance was observable in tho rates of railway shares hut the improvement in scarcely quotable .

A singular trial took pluoo yesterday in the Court , oi Exchequer . A Frenchman named Dobaokor had donigriH ( in tho wife , <> r mistress , of another Frenchman , named HolloviHt . "o ultiinatoly succeeded in Hoduoing Madamo Bellovuo , by making hor presents and then arresting M . Itellovuo lor tho cunt of them . Dcbackor brought an action lor . CM , lor goodH supplied and money lout ,. Knllovuo ' s story won told In evidence throug h * an interpreter . * ' Ho had known tho plaintiff Btnco Juno last . Ho bad
been introduced to that person by a friend of the name of Maubert , of Paris . He was himself a literary man , and was a member of the Society of Dramatic Authors . He had been living with a certain young lady for the last six years , during which , period she had borne him two charming children . Maubert at one time had lodged in tho plaintiff ' s house , and , therefore , saw his lady there . ' Ho recollected the 14 th of November last , and upon that day the plaintiff brought down a Talma from his " Magasin , ' remarking that here was a new cloak which his workmen had spoiled by putting- the back in the front , and the front in the baokj , The plaintiff then put tho cloak , the Talma , y 0 fi *** tne lady , at which act he felt much astonishment . The plaintiff said that if the ladywould accept it , it would make him very happy indeed .
The lady said ' Oh ! no , sir . ' The plaintiff then put the Talma on the back of a chair . About a week after this ho again went to the plaintiff ' s , when that person said that he had got the Talma settled , and that he was still anxious to present it to the lady . Upon this the witness turned round to the lady , and said , ' My dear , you seem to bo pleased with this Talma ; I will take it for you , and pay for it when I have the money . ' The plaintiff appeared to be satisfied and pleased with this arrangement . Nothing , however , was said about the price at the time . He remembered something about a hat . ' This is the hat ( holding forth , in a most excited manner , an old and shabby hat ); and the man of whom I bought a new one six weeks subsequently allowed me sixpence only . ' The witness held it out towards tho jury , exclaiming , ' Sixpence , sixpence ! ' His own hat had been crushed as he was getting out of one of the penny steamboats . When ho
readied the plaintiff ' s he said it was unpleasant that hia hat should be in such a state , as he had no money to purchase another with . The plaintiff , upon this , remarked that he had two hats upstairs , and . then brought two old hats down , one of which he told him to take , and he had worn it for six weeks , when , having received some money from France , he bought a new one , and the hatter allowed him only ' sixpence' for the old one which ho bad received from the plaintiff . The plaintiff was accustomed to use pomade to his hair , and therefore the old hat was very greasy inside and discoloured in the lining . He well remembered the plaintiff bringing a dozen pocket-handkerchiefs to ' mafemme , who excelled in embroidery work . Ob . ! she embroidered like an angel . ' ( Loud laughter , caused as much by the gesticulation of the witness as tho expression itself . ) The plaintiff said that she embroidered so exquisitely that he should feel greatly indebted to her if she would embroider half of the number of handkerchiefs
with his initials , about an inch in length , and hem the remaining half . When these handkerchiefs had been finished the plaintiff called , and he said to the lady , ' I cannot offer you money , but I pray you to accept the six unembroidered handerchiefs for your trouble . ' The witness said he saw no particular objection to his lady accepting these handkerchiefs under the circumstances , and therefore ho made no objection to it . In the course of October ho received a bill from his agent in Paris for 15 £ . 9 s . 7 d ., payable in » London at tliree days' sight—namely , on the 1 st of November , at tho bouse of Messrs . Monteaux and Co ., foreign bankers in London . It was on the 12 th of October that he had received this bill , and on tho 18 th of tho samo month he gave ifc to the
plaintiff , having previously endorsed his own name upon the back of it , remarking that , as that gentleman so frequently wont into the city , ho could leave it for him for acceptance , and afterwards present ifc for payment . That was tho reason he had given the bill to tho plaintiff . On tho day that the bill became due ho saw tho plaintiff , who told him bo had received tho money for it , but said that , ho would make him advances on ( he bill , lie hud , however , afterwards found out that the bill was duly honoured units arrival at maturity on the lufc of November . Tho money was advanced to him by tho plaintiff in small . sums , upon various occasions , and the advances eventually exceeded tho amount of tho bill by lil . l'ls . That wan the whole of tho money tho plaintiff had advanced him . Jlc bad never mentioned to a M . Pelez that he was indexed to tho plaintiff as much m 121 . or VM . ifo was arrested by the plaintiff on thol 8 th of December , at 37 , Rathbone-placo , about 7 o'clock in tho evening . This wan on Saturday , and much violenco was used towards him before ho was carried off to prison , on tho prompting of tho plaintiff . Ho remained in prison until tho following Friday evening , and whoa lio reached his home ho found hi . s liuly and children Jgone , and tho door of bis room sealed up . . Ho bad never been guilty of any violence to bin lady , although , wince theiracqtiuintimoo with t , ho plaintiff , they bad had scones of jeiilouny on his account . It , wan utterly impossible that , ho could uso violence towards hor , because he adored her an a saint , and bis children " [ The defendant wan bent overcome by hifi feelings , and wept . | Cross examined , ho showed that , be bad been separated from bin wife in IH 4 (> , and then lived with the young lady who went- oil" with Dobackcr . Mr . Hanm VluU tmmuwd up favourably for Hellovuo , and tho jury found a verdict , for him . Tho A chilli caso was yesterday continued by tho A ttornoy-General . Nothing of any novelty occurred . Tho counsel for l ) r Newman urged ' that , the witnewcH , generally , were more worthy of credit than Aehilli ; and minted on a now trial being granted .
