WIND, North-Westerly; light, with fine weather. Ministers have passed triumphantly through the ordeal. They have retorted on , their adversaries , and pursued the constitutional course which honour and duty alike dictated. They would not accept the arrogant and almost insulting advice of Lord PALMERSTON. Indeed, the leaders in both Houses unhesitatingly repudiated it. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON clearly and explicitly declared that if the House affirmed the resolution they could not have the Bill. Lord DERBY and his colleagues would not be deceived by the will-o'-the-wisp, which only appeared " To lure them to their doom." It, however, answered the purpose contemplated. It gave a plausible pretext to sundry waverers to say that they had high authority to the effect that passing the resolution would only tend to the improvement of the bill and not to its absolute rejection, still less to the terrible event, " an appeal to the country," which would prevent many of those who voted against Reform from ever again breathing the atmosphere of St. Stephen's. The case is but another illustration of " The engineer hoist with his own petard." And many of those who walked into the same lobby with the rival ex-Premiers may now bid. a "long farewell to all their greatness." Had they believed in the pos sibility of a dissolution, they would have hesitated greatly before joining in the factious majority. But they were deceived by interested advisers —the one party affirming that it would lead to the immediate resignation of the Ministry ; the other, that they would swallow their leek patiently, albeit with many grimaces. Those who were thus led astray are now deploring their undue credulity, and wishing that they might have the opportunity of pursuing a very different course from that into which, unfortunately for themselves, they were so easily beguiled. It will be seen that the line of policy which we indicated as most probable has been fully adopted by the Government. The Chancellor of the Exchequer declared that, " as soon as the urgent requirements of the public service are satis fied this Parliament would be p rorogue d w i t h a view to its immediate dissolution." He pointed out the measures which required immediate attention, a dding, "The other measures of Government I shall not presume to further allude to, unless the House expresses a wish that the Superannuation Bill should pass." Now, this is exactly what we predicted on Saturday last. A leading journal, arrogating to itself everything short of infallibility,• spoke very differently yesterday. It professed "to relieve the public anxiety," to show " that there would be no solution of continuity." It declared that the words of Lord PALMERSTON had turned out literally true. And it then proceeded gravely to lecture Ministers on the course they are bound to pursue. " The country has a right to expect that they will do the work in the same spirit of humility by which they haye been actuated," Addliag "may hoe elected to • _ :•••• , .st‘ • , n A , _ - ear , 41011 - ,„,)?, -blnt THE SUN. TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1859. retain their places under what, in the language of our feudal law, may be called a base or servile , tenure, and they must not grumble at any work their masters may set them to do." How have the mighty fallen ! How greatly has the Cracle been deceived ! No base or servile tenu .e has been accepted by the Government. They have fought boldly and manfully against most extraordinary odds, and by their decided and straightforward conduct have turned defeat into victory, and— " From the nettle danger plucked the flower safety." But will Lord J. RUSSELL be present in the new House ? Not, we believe, as one of the representa tives for the city of London. The ambiguous speech of his brother respecting the Ballot gained him many votes. He received one more trial. But he has bitterly disappointed the expectations that were formed. No sooner was he firmly seated than he avowed himself the uncom promising opponent of secret voting. He would have it at any price or on any terms, and verily he shall receive his reward. He may endeavour to find refuge in one of the small boroughs which he intended to destroy. But no true advocate for the Ballot' can support the man so firmly pledged against it. It may be observed that he carefully abstained, in bringing forward the resolution, from saying anything that could bind him to any real practical measure of reform. He was contented with criticising the work of his opponents, but with out giving the slightest inkling as to his own views or intentions. Lord PALMERSTON may be placed in the same category. He, too, is the strenuous adversary of the Ballot, and, indeed, we may add, of every other change. He would have things remain as they are, without change or alteration of any kind, and, with the help of Lord JOHN, contrives to keep the question always open, as an excuse for rejecting any of the minor improvements that may be required. It is possible that Tiverton may be more accommodating, and far more easily satisfied, than the metropolis. The electors have for some time past revelled in " the loaves and fishes." They must therefore feel that political gratitude which, we are told, consists of a lively sense of favours to come. If, however, there are supporters of " the Ballot" amongst the elec tors, they should pause before bestowing their votes on one whose return to office would delay, if it did not altogether prevent, full protection from being afforded to every one desirous of bestowing the suffrage honestly and conscientiously. The Ministers are entitled to the thanks and gratitude of the country for the straightforward course they have pursued, and which has so com pletely defeated the views of the conspirators. The rapid growth of our colonies has just received a new and remarkable illustration. It appears from reliable statistics that within the last twenty six years New South Wales has more than doubled its population. To put the same fact differently before the public, we may say, in round numbers, that the colony of New South Wales has just doubled its population in a quarter of a century. , The number of its inhabitants may be taken at ' about 300,000. Considerably more than half that total, namely, 166,862 immigrants, have arrived there between the first day of 1832 and the last day of 1857. Double that number would exceed the aggregate of the present 'umber of its inhabitants. Instead of showing a total of barely 300,000, it would yield one of 333,944. So that in twenty-six years the colony has clearly more than doubled its population. Separating the adults from the children, out of this multitude of 166,972 immi grants—we find of the latter, that is of children, 41,576, and of the former, adults, 125,216. A larger proportion of men—namely, the proportion of one hundred to every eighty-nine women—is one of the inevitable characteristics observable upon a care ful analysis of this total of more than 125,000 adult immigrants. Little more than seventy years have elapsed, remember, since the formation by Britain of this particular settlement. New South Wales, the original colony in Australasia, was established indeed as recently as 1788. It was established at first as a place of punishment, as a penal settlement. Gra dually—encouraged by the attractions of a fine cli mate—respectable classes of society in the possession of capital, as well as of energy and character, have flocked out there in increasing numbers. Insomuch that whereas it took the first forty-five years, the best part of an entire half century, to raise the population of New South Wales to an aggregate of 150,000 souls—it has required only these six and twenty years last past, otherwise but a single year over merely one quarter of a century, to double that number of inhabitants, rather, or as we have seen, to more than double it. Enormous and rapid though this rate of increase undoubtedly is in itself —it yields a total amount of population quite insignificant as compared with the capabilities of New South Wales. That colony, it should be borne in mind, embraces within its limits the greater part of the eastern coast of Australia—from the northern boundary line of Victoria to the Gulf of Carpentaria. By the year 1836 its population had risen to 77,000. By 1849—just ten years ago —it had attained an aggregate of 212,000, of whom not far short of 30,000—we believe just 27,000 were convicts regularly taken into service among the settlers. It was eight years previously to the last mentioned date that the colony was at length relieved (1841) of the penalty of continuing to be a place for tranportation. Felons were thenceforth, for the most part, sent to Van Dieman's Land, until the punishment of transportation eventually gave place to penal servitude. From the capital of this important colonial province—Sydney, containing a. population of more than 30,000—the advancing energies of immigration are perpetually radiating. Population, wealth, produce, all increasing at a ratio that give promise, in another hundred years, of a noble empire at our antipodes. British emi gration all the while growing wondrously, as a system, in so manyother directions—trailing hither and thither across the ocean in all quarters, to Canada, to the Cape, even to a little standing ground like Labuan, but last, not least, to that new and magnificent colony founded in the far west upon the eastern shores of the Pacific, the noble colony of British Columbia. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princess Alice and Helena, took a drive in an open carriage and four yesterday afternoon. Colonel the Hon. A. N. Hood and Captain Du Plat attended on horseback. The Prince Consort rode en horseback in the forenoon, attended by his Equerry in Waiting. The Queen and Prince Consorthonouredtheperformance at the Adelphi Theatre with their presence last evening. The Royal suite consisted of Lady Macdonald, Hon. Caro line Cavendish, Hon.

HALIFAX. —We understand that in anticipation of Mr. Frank Crossley being brought forward for the West Riding, Mr. Appleyard, of Halifax, has been named as his successor in the representation of that borough. THE NEW JUDGE OF THE LANDED ESTATES COURT.—DUBLIN, MONDAY.—Mr. J. Carey Dobbs, M.P. for Carrickfergus, is appointed Judge of the L an d e d E s t a tes Court, yar6l4t the cloth vi Mr. Plartley, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, 1859, LORD STANLEY FOR THE CITY OF LONDON. We understand that a requisition, adequate in weight and importance to the occasion, has been adopted, calling on Lord Stanley to offer himself at the coming election, as a candidate for the repre sentation of the City of London. A better selec tion could not have been made. The noble lord has established a reputation, not surpassed by any contemporary statesman, for deep and varied practical knowledge, for habits of business, for administrative capacity, and for a happy union of Conservative principle with Liberal policy, ad mirably and naturally adapted to the temper of the English people. His successful services in consolidating the Imperial power, and his promi nent share in the Administration which has done more than any of its more immediate predecessors towards aiding progress in wisely liberal legislation at home, and in maintaining peace abroad, ought especially to recommend him to the favour of the greatest commercial constituency in the world. That Lord Stanley would one day represent the city which has been the scene of his later adminis trative labours, had long been foreshadowed. That the expected event should thus have been advanced in point of time, seems almost a retributive Conse quence of the proceedings which have brought about the present complication in our national affairs.—Morning Chronicle. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. Mr. Disraeli has issued the following Address to the Electors of the county of Buckingham : GENTLEMEN,--A Parliamentary majority, composed of discordant sections, has availed itself of its numerical strength to embarrass her Majesty's Government, amt by a disingenuous manceuvre, to intercept the discussion of their measures. A year ago, Lord Derby was summoned by her Majesty to undertake the administration of public affairs. Assisted by his colleagues, he has, with diligence and devotion, en deavoured to discharge his duty to the country. The blow which has lately been inflicted on the Govern ment deprives it of authority, and yet in the ranks of the Opposition there is no more unity of sentiment than when their distracted politics rendered it necessary that Lord Derby should assume the helm. The Opposition in the present House of Commons, which was elected under ambiguous circumstances,, is broken into sections, which can always combine and over throw the Queen's Government, however formed. This is a condition alike prejudicial to Parliament and to the Empire. It is for the country to comprehend and to remedy these evils. The moment is critical. England has engaged to mediate between two great monarchs, and, if possible, preserve for Europe the blessings of peace. It is necessary that the Queen's Government should be supported by a patriotic Parliament. Her Majesty, therefore, under the advice of her Mini sters, will shortly prorogue the present Parliament, with a view to its immediate dissolution, and will recur to the sense of her people, so that those who may be entrusted with her Majesty's confidence may be enabled to conduct the Government with becoming authority. Under these circumstances I rely on the loyalty and public spirit of the county of Buckingham to rally round her Majesty's Government, and to return me, for the sixth time, their Member to Parliament.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obliged and faithful servant, B. DISRAELI. Downing-street, April 4, 1859. CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. The following is the Report of the Executive Committee of the Conservative Land Society, at the twenty-sixth quarterly general meeting of the members, held at the offices, No. 33, Norfolk-street, Strand, London, W.C., this day : " The Executive Committee, in submitting their twenty sixth report, have the pleasure of laying before the mem bers the following cash receipts for the first two quarters of the seventh financial year, and the total retutns of the operations of the Conservative Land Society to Lady-day 1859.

The Return of the Register of Rights is as follows :—Completed, 3,068; drawn, 2,975; se niority, 1,5.57 : total, 7,600. Deduct rights exercised on estates, &c., 5,021. Unexercised rights, 2,579. The last share number on the Register by Seniority, after the drawing of April the sth, 1859, will be about 10,042, and the last share taken up on the 25th of March was Nu. 14,007. The Executive Committee are now actively engaged in the consideration of some im portant estates in town and country. At no period of the society's existence have properties of greater magnitude and importance been biroht tinder the notice of the board than during the past qr. ":The committee have recently directed their labours to the allotments for the present year, and the first estate to be offered will be the valuable piece. of land adjoining the Great Western and South Western Railway Station at Weymouth. Since the last report, new arrangements have been made, by which the estate has been extended in quantity in a slight degree, and has been materially improved in the laying out of the plan and in the roads and approaches. It was originally intended to have allotted the first portion in time for the result to appear in the present report, but the opportunity having been afforded to render the Weymouth Estate one of the most eligible proporties that the society has been enabled to allot, the committee deemed it expedient to wait, and the delay has been consequently of essential benefit in the drawing up of the altered plan. In May next, there fore, the first division of the land will go through the list of rights ; and a meeting will be held in Weymouth to ex plain to the inhabitants of that rapidly increasing' town the mode of obtaining plots of land. Another announcement the committee are in a position to make to the shareholders, will afford the highest gratification. The inquiries into the title of the Roehampton Park Estate are drawing to a close, to the entire satisfaction of the society's legal advisers ; and the board has, therefore, in vited the attention of builders and others to this fine pro perty. Applications have been made for the price of the mansion, with various quantities of land ; and offers have been submitted for other portions of the estate for building purposes. The Committee will deliberate on all these propositions, but are prepared at the same time to accept an adequate amount for the entire estate as it stands. The Board has the gratification to announce, that a Committee has been formed to raise the funds for the erection of a church on the freehold site given by the Society, on the St. Margaret's estate. The names of the following noblemen and gentlemen :—Rear the rate of interest for the same period on monies in vested in the Deposit Department, at the rate of four per cent. per annum. In making this announcement, the Executive Committee cannot but congratulate the shareholders on the fact, that it has been the prudent and pacific policy pursued by the country, in its foreign relations, which has mainly produced the present satisfac tory state of commercial affairs. With the preservation of peace and the continuance of the confidence of the share holders, the executive committee entertain every expecta tion that the business of the Conservative Land Society will be still further developed, and its uselulness ex tended." The report was unanimously agreed to. The Seine has seldom been so low at this season of the year as it is at present. The water only reaches Om. 98c. at the scale at the Pont Royal. THE MAIL SERVICE.—SOUTHAMPTON, Monday. —The steamship Ceylon, Capt. Evans, left this day ! with the East India and China mails, 3,555 boxes of specie and jewellery to the value of £960,883, and 69 first class afid 26 second class passengers, among whom are Major Fytche, Col..Hitly, Captains Campbell and Munroe, Lieutenants Bailey, Hithers, Robinson, Butler, Carey, and Lloyd, and Ensign Watson. 1 OUR SAILORS.—The secretary to the Sailors' Home Dubin, thus alludes to the gratitude often expressed by sailors after the preservation of their lives from ship wreck :—"I have been an observer of our sailors afloat and ashore for the past twenty years, and the conclusion I have arrived at from my experience is, that a more deserving class of men does not exist, and I thank God that a change for the better is now seen by every one who takes an in terest in their welfare. Having had some of them as in mates who served in wrecked vessels on our Irish iron bound coast, I may truly say that no society brought before them was more generally appreciated than the Na tional Lifeboat Institution. I have heard them allude to its reports in terms that would be gratifying to its sup porters and to every lover of mankind." ALLEGED BREACH OF CONTRACT.—At the Liver pool assizes yesterday, the case of Macdonald v. Longbot torn which was an action brought by Highland wool growers against a Liverpool merchant for the non-acceptance of a considerable quantity of wool, which occupied the court several hours on Saturday, was resumed. The defendant contended that the wool was not delivered within a reason able time, and that as it did not reach Liverpool eighty days after the contract was made, the defendant was justified in rejecting it. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— damages, £825 16s. ; but the learned judge (Mr. Justice Byles) non-suited the plaintiff, on the ground that the con tract was void under the statute of frauds, giving him leave, however, to move to enter a verdict in his favour for the damages found by the jury. WRECK ON SIZEWELL BANK.—LIFEBOAT SER VICES.—ALDBORO't Suffolk, April 2.—At four o'clock this morning a vessel was seen from the Thorpe coastguard station, on Sizewell Bank, with a signal of distress. Im mediate information was given to the coxswain and crew of the lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, stationed at Thorpe, by the firing of a mortar. Although so early in the morning, the noble fellows were soon on the spot, and the lifeboat was instantly launched, notwith standing that the wind was blowing very strong and the sea running very high. On approaching the wreck the lifeboat had to be managed very carefully, as the sea was breaking very heavily over the ship. Her crew of eight men, however, were all saved ; and a short time after the vessel was left she heeled over, and gradually sank in the sand. In the meantime the Institution's lifeboat at Aldbro', having heard the minute-gun, proceeded off, but her ser f vice§ Were not required. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce sill during the last few days have not exhibited much - i , activity. Prices, however, have, in most instances, , been well sustained. Tea has been exceedingly 13 firm, and an advance of Id. per lb. has been estab- St lished in Common Congou. Sugars have been in rather limited request, particularly for home con st - sumption, holders refusing to give way in prices. g In the refined market there has been a very mode rate demand, and for bonded goods there has been scarcely any inquiry, prices remaining firm at previous quotations. For coffee there has been an active demand, especiaily for the better qualities of plantation Ceylon, and as the quantity on offer was very short full rates were readily obtained. S s Rum has been very inactive ; but for rice there has been more demand, improved prices having been realised in most instances. Saltpetre continues to be inquired for, and good qualities of Bengal have s advanced in value. Tallow has been rather inac- s eve, the trade demand having fallen off, and prices s have in some instances receded. P.Y.C. on the S spot is now quoted 535. to 535. 3d. ; April to June, g' 535. ; and last three months, 535. 6d. per cwt. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday continued very quiet, and 6,000 s bales were sold at former values. In the Railway Share Market only a very moderate amount of 16 1 business was transacted, and prices were depressed. sl Several arrivals of specie have been announced this morning, including the Tyne, from the Brazils, with £16,258 ; the Cologne, from Rotterdam, with st £23,000 ; the Dolphin, from Antwerp, with s t £143,000; the Planet, from Hambro', with about s £50,000 ; and the Parana, from the West Indies ; st but the amount of specie she has on board has not transpired. About £16,000 in gold was withdrawn s from the Bank of England yesterday for exporta- S tion to the Cohtinent. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) care` Railways. 10 Amberg., Notting.

It commences by stating that the society now st possesses 811ifeboat establishments, thoroughly equipped in st every way, 15 of which have been added during the last St 12 months, and transporting carriages and boat-houses have 2 also been provided for them, viz. :—At Cromer, Mundes - ley, Bacton, Winterton, Yarmouth (two boats), Exmouth, d, Aberdovey and Fleetwood ; in Ireland, at Dundalk, Carn sore, Tramore, Dungarvan, and Newcastle (thelast-named in lieu of a previous boat) ; and in Scotland, at Fraserburgh and Lossiemouth. The committee continue to receive the most satisfactory reports of this class of lifeboat, many of which have rendered important service in saving life during the same year. Lifeboats on the same plan have been ordered by the Governments of Russia, Prussia, and Portugal, and by some of our own Colonial Governments from the builders to the society, and the institution has in every case been re quested to superintend their construction. The lifeboats of the institution have been instrumental in saving 110 persons during the past year. They have also been off on 29 occa sions to the assistance of vessels showing signals of dis tress. It appears from the report of the Board of Trade presented to Parliament, that the number of shipwrecks on the coast of the United Kingdom during the past year has been nearly the same as that of the previous year -1,170 in all, from which 343 livesunhappily perished. It is, however, gratifying to find that the total number of lives saved from shipwrecks by lifeboats and other means on our coasts during the same period is 1,555. The total number of persons saved from shipwreck since the first esta blishment of the National Lifeboat Institution, and for re scuing whom the committee have granted honorary and pecuniary rewards, is 10,902. The lives of 427 persons from sixty-four wrecks on the coasts of the British Isles have been rescued from a watery grave during the past year through the instrumentality of the lifeboats of the institution and of other means, in acknowledg ment fol . which services one gold medal, 23 silver medals, 37 other honorary distinctions, and £952 have been voted. Since the formation of the institution it has expended on lifeboat establishments £28,061, and has voted 81 gold and 629 silver medals for distin guished services for saving life, besides pecuniary awards amounting together to £11,6.51. From the financial state ment it appears that the institution has expended on new lifeboat carriages and boathouses and their equipments £8,051 4s. 11d., and £1,203 18s. sd. for exercising the crews of its lifeboats, making altogether a total of £9,255 3s. 4d. This great and national work has, however, only been accomplished by the society incurring further liabilities to the extent of £3,047.1 SINGULAR DEATH.—An accident of a very sin gular character occurred a few . days ago to Mrs. Watson, wife of Mr. Watson, dyer, of Artillery-place, Roundhay road, Leeds. A fortnight ago Mrs. Watson ' whilst asleep, swallowed four false teeth, which stuck fast in her throat. Medical aid was called in, and she was attended by Mr. Morley and Mr. S. Smith, who performed an operation, and succeeded in partially _dislodging the teeth, but not suffi ciently so, and Mrs. Watson expired on Saturday. -7-Leeds Intaligencer.

Sharel WILD BOAR HUNTING IN TILESSAL Voik, Feb. 18.—At an early hour on the 10th inst.. (February) we started for Armiro, on the western shore of the gulf, and distant from Volo six hours, about 24 miles. Our party numbered about 30 horsemen, and included Aziz Pasha, Go vernor of Thessaly ; Sadik Pasha, General Com manding all the Turkish Cossacks in Epirus; four officers of his staff, anti an escort of half-a-dozen Cossacks. The remainder consisted of the personal attendants of Aziz Pasha, as heterogeneous in ap pearance as in functions, but all indispensable to the dignity and, perhaps, the comfort of a high person age in Turkey. Nor must I omit the name of . Ahmed Agha, a Turkish gentleman of this neigh bourhood, who to the higher qualities of integrity and honour adds a keen relish for all the sports of the field. We had in leash several couples of grey hounds of the pure Arabian breed—as beautiful . 4311- mals as you could lay eyes upon ; inferior to En lish greyhounds in size and strength, but equal to' them in courage and fineness of shape. The essen , tial difference, however, lies in their having both. • the tail and ears feathered, while the skin is as smooth as satin. I assure you we formed a most picturesque party, and, as you may well believe, the whole world of Volo turned out to gaze as we rode by. The cavaliers responded to this flattering curiosity by fretting their nags into their showiest paces, so that our way through the town was worked up into a pretty little pageant, saucy horsemen curbing their impatient steeds that seemed to scorn the ordinary movements of their kind. After skirt ing the coast for a while we struck across the site of ancient Pagasm, passed between the mouldering piers of its aqueduct, and then traversed a moun tain spur, where every defile still shows the traces of ancient fortifications of colossal strength. Clear ing these, we debouched on the plain of Armiro, and, after a ride of four hours, halted at the solitary ruins which are all that remain of the once flourishing town of Yenikhuy. This town fell under the sword of Ali Pasha, of Yanina, who always acted as if desolation and ruin were the necessary attendants of military suc cess. Here some show of preparation was made to receive us. A company of Albanian Militia,, collected from the neighbouring posts, was drawn up in line, and saluted after their fashion; and all the principal proprietors of the district were assem. bled in holiday gear to do honour to the represen tative of the Sultan. Carpets were, spread for us in the open a ‘ ir, and a fallen column of white marble served as a seat to those who could not accomino- date themselves to the Turkish posture of repose.. The variety of gay costumes, the neighing and fighting of the horses, the groups of wild Albanians, quick and light in their movements as an opera dancer, all contrasting with the stillness of the ruined city and the fine scenery of mountain, plain, and sea, combined to produce a most picturesque effect, the interest of which would have been much augmented if one had time to trace back the his toric associations of the places and people in ques tion. One, and only one, habitation remains in. Yenikhuy. From this house, after the ceremonies of salutation had been performed, came forth a feast such as the Albanian sets before those whom he delights to honour—a sheep roasted ! I con fess to you was not much tempted with the dish, for the animal bore a wonderful resemblance to the human form. However ' it was no time for squeam ishness, as we had had only a cup of coffee before starting, and a long ride and mountain air stimu late the appetite in Thessaly as in other countries. There are no knives and forks, and I could not but envy the dexterity with which my friends detached with their fingers the most delicate morsels, and transferred them in long strips to their mouths. Practice makes perfect, and in an inconceivably short time one learns how to eat with the imple-. ments provided by nature. As it would never do to hunt on a full stomach we ate but sparingly, and having lit our cigarettes and got into our saddles, off we started. The cover was near at hand, lying between Yenikhuy and the sea. It is an extensire flat marsh in wet weather, covered with tall reeds and rank grass, with here and there a.stunted tree. All the necessary dispositions and arrangements proceeded from Sulieman Agha, who was by una nimous consent voted mast er o f the chase. He is a gentleman of some property, residing in the neighbourhood, and is well known in those parts for his courage and address in hunting large game. By his orders we were posted along the edge of the cover on the land side, at intervals of about 50 yards. The Cossacks and our grooms were about 150 yards in rear ; ready to cut of all escape to wards the mountains ; about 50 men of the Alba than Militia, who acted as beaters, entered the cover at the other side, and with most unearthly shrieks and yells, with the sound of drum and pipe, drove the game before them towards us. Before many minutes a sharp fusillade, about 400 yards from where I wasposted, announced that something was up, and immediately after a commotion among the horsemen and then a general rush showed that my gentleman was making for the mountains. It was a boar of great size and pluck, with several balls already in him ; he severely tested the speed of the Cossack horses. But. the odds were too in uo k against him. Another bullet from a Cossack cite. bine diminished his speed, but increased his fury. He doubled back in great wrath, attacked Azns Pasha's huntsman, ripped up a gallant dog that closed on him, and turning to bay at every bush and tree made' straight towards myself. I stepped forward to the encounter, and the whole field, curious, perhaps, to see an English performance, drew up and left the honour of the fight to me. The boar would not give me a chance at his flank, and as he evidently meant mischief I was obliged to mind well what I was about. I allowed him to approach. within 30 yards, and aiming steadily at' his head between the eyes—psha, the wretched gun missed fire, and Heaven knows what would have happened if an opportune brought shot had nobroughthimto the ground,just as he was coming to close quarters. I should explain to you that I was armed, not with. my own gun, which is suited only to small game, but with an inferior French article borrowed for the nonce. Aiiz Pasha, who, by the way, is a thorough sportsman, presented me with the boar, adding some complimentary remarks which T but little deserved, and I hope some time to show you the head,which I have preserved as the trophy of the day. We continued the sport until late in the afternoon, and. resumed it again next day. The total bagged were—eight hogs, two wolves, and two jackals, to which may be added five hares that we killed in coursing on our return from Armiro. Just as we had finished on the second day and were riding along the sands, we observed a huge boar that had taken the water, and:was about 200 yards from the shore. Several shots were fired at him, but as there was a smart bit of sea on they all missed. To get out of harm's way, however, he struck out towards the middle of the Gulf. We watched him with our glasses until he was lost in the distance, and it is doubtful if he ever got safe again to land. Frederick John Earl of Rip on, F.R.S., P .C., of Nocton.
