SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, ROYAL HUNT, &c. On Monday morning the KING'S Stag Hounds started a re markably fine Deer at Virginia Water, which proceeded in its course with great swiftness, and shewed great sport for about an hour and a half, after which he was taken near Windsor.— Directly after, the Royal Deer was taken, Lord BuLKELET, with his huntknen and hounds in full speed, in chase of a very fine deer, came up, - which they turned up at the Dolphin, on the Slough road, and the deer had displayed great sport from the time of its being turned out of the cart, when it proceeded by Datehet through the inclosures by Frog,more, where he leaped through several gardens, and crossed the Long Walk by the Infantry Barr ac k s ‘up.,Sheet-street, Windsor, taking to the left up the street by the Marketlilace, down Thames street, with several hundred followers, Lord Butt'. I.E - S." sounding his horn, and following with the hounds. The deer ran through Windsor and Eton, and was then turned to the back of Eton, the hounds not having come up, as they were on the Winclior side of the Thames. At - this tinie.it was supposed the deer was followed by nearly. 1000 sport:smen on foot, &c., who pressed him so closely, that he was obligeto take to the heighdas' _near wjy.re remained n considerable ; but being presSed by his pur suers, many of whom crossed the water in boats, he again took the water, and landed on the Eton side of the river, where, after a short run, he was unfortunately attacked by.some bull dogs. After having disengaged himself from them, he pro ceeded to the Thames again, and swam down the river for a cnnsiderabledistance, attempting to land, but the crowds who were collected on both shores, induced Lord BuLKELEit tO procure a boat and - cross the river, and the crowd was consider ably increased by the Gentlemen of Eton College coining out of school. The deer was at length t a k e n after some excellent sport, in which one of his fore-legs was unfortunately broken he ivas immediately after put into a cart and conveyed to'Cian ford. Lord BULEELEY and his brother returned home .with the hounds. On Monday Se'nnight the luxe's Stag Hounds turned out a fine beer, on Maidenhead Folly, for a day's diversion. The decir was a remarkably fine one, and had an excellent run for uy\vards of three hours. He crossed the country near Alaiden hethl-bridge,: proceeded through the inclosures towards Eto'n, malting for the Thames, and crossed the river, and proceeded up Bear-lane, taking tothe left, and ran tnthe bottom of the hun dred' steps of the Ring's Castle, where he attempted to ascend them \ but' was turned back by some persons who • happened to be upon theui. He then ran through the town of Windsor, where, he was seized by a cowke.eer's large dog: The hunts men, Yeonlen-prickers, with the hounds, and a largecroup of sportsmen of all ranks, followed. PONY RACE. . Two Ponies, or rather Galloways, were matched on Wed nesday to gallop sixteen miles against each other, on the Thint ingdon and Cambridge road, for 100. guineas. The galloways belonged to Mr. IlorE, of Royston, and Mr. KEPPELS.— Each did the first eight miles - under twenty-eight minutes---the sixteen mil's were completed in fifty-seven by .Mr. KEPrILs', which was fifty ' yards a-head.. Mr. lil:PrELs' pony did within a short distance of seventeen miles in the hour, and won easy. A Mare belonging . to - Captain FLIN.N was matched for 50 guineas, tto trot eight miles in half an hour, over the same ground, which she did with ease, and had more than a-minute to spare. - . .

EDIT° lt,—The candid and intelligible issue joirted by Lord LItiER.PO W. with Lord LANs no it will, I trust, briurthe Agaicultural ques tion into a small compass.' The Tnain point for deliberation, and for .future legislative interfe rence, certainly is, " whether tl7e distreSs arises from extra PRODUCTION, crinfra CONSUMPTION,"' that is, cwteris paribus, and .in due proportion to the difference in numbers of the population. There are one or two points, .1111>n-ever, which will tell both ways ; yet withimt impugning either theory. In the first' place, then, there cer tainly is a decrease in consumption since the Peace ; but then that arises from Ilia cessation of warfare, from Governmentceasi,f,- t.o come into the—rnierkt`with boor-Piiridtarti mtrii - nually Oa that • point, we will accord to Lord L A NSDOWN a decrease of consumption; but 'what does his argument gain by it .2 There is another, and a very important point. know that the Farmers, at the present price of Wheat,, cannot pay for tillage, and poor's rates, and rents. But, MARK !! ! that only proves tha,t they cannot cultivate the same quantity of land wider Wheat in PEACE that they can duripg WAR.! This comes at once to the great error of the present day—the measuring of agricultural dis= tress by the price of Wheat, and ' , calculating agricultural expenditure upon the cost of Wheat prothiction, not only upon 'land which'nature in tended for Wheat, but also upon those poor soils which were forced into Wheat cultivation by an extramdinary War demand. • Let - us then compare the price of Wheat with the expence of Cultivation upon a fair Wheat soil—that is the fair criterion.--Let other soils be cultivated, as forty years ago, with such crops as they are fitted for by fair tillage. To do so will, perhaps, require a reduction of Farms, nay perhaps a reduction of Rents, upon poor soils, more than 25 per •cent.. But La n dl or d s must remember, that , in many instances w h ere they now grumble at that reduction, they have actually raised their rents 300 per cent. w ithi n , the lait 30 years ; from TWENT Y SHILLINGS to THREE PouNps per acre !

The object of his proposition (either by address or otherwise, he did not know 'which) would not.be any censure upon his Ma jesty's Ministers, nor any thing retrospective,. but prospectively to declare,. that conduct like that pursued by the Allied Powers was contrary to the fundamental policy of this Country, and to the'true policy of Europe.

GRATTAN, took the oaths and his seat for the: County of %Via AGAR:CI:I'U ItA L. DISTi,ESS.. Mr. SCOTT presenied a Petition from Bexhill, and another from Hastings, in Sussex, complain ing of Agricultural Distress. Ordered to lie on the Table. * _ Sir E. KNATOIBULL presented several Peti tions from Kent on the same subject The Hon. Baronet gated ut. some length the great distress to which the agricultural interests were subject ed, and impressed upon the house the necessity .of paying immediate attention to the state of the country. Mr. CunwEN said, the distress was of a gene ral nature; there was no class of society exempt froth it. Whilst he lamented, the cause of them, he rejoiced to'see so many Petitions presented from all parts of the country, because he hoped that they would force on Ministers the consider.- ation of the subject. Looking rat the miserable state of the people, he was, he confessed,- as tonished to find persons of information and abili ty, talking of the prosperous state of the .country. —to him the matter seemed altogether incompre hensible. He was convinced, that the opinions of such men were founded on a fallacy. The Petitions,on the Table slimed the wretched state of the county of Kent;. if the Agricultural inter est was so depressed in that county, what must be the state of the people in every other part of England ? . After a few words from Sir E. KNATCHBULL, Mr. ELLic,F. (Coventry), said, that the House would recollect that in the year 1816, there was an, increase in the' excise beyond the two other years. .The remedy applied to .relieve the dis tress that had the two years before been pressing upon the country,, were, .to use the words of the Chancellor of the ., Exchequer himself, by putting a guinea in the pocket of every man in the coun try.-(A laugh.):— The Right lion.

In 181(1 they saw the. alteration in the state of the country, which was predicted by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer—they saw prices rise. The circumstances of .the two years preceding brought into the country a great quantity of fo reign coin.. The warehouse's 'of the English mer chants had been. filled with Colonial . produce— peace opened the market oC the.

With respect to the. state of the Agri ctiltOrists; he had heard the Noble Lord (Castle reagh) declare that he would not _object to a Committee to inquire into their Situation, pro vided the Committee did .not iliqUire into three-. things—the State of Taxation, the Corn Laws and- the Currency. . Now, he would object to a Committee of that House going up stairs to con sume public time, when they could not hold out any hope whatever tothe country. - It was better for the House not to deceive itself ; the danger ' was-excessive, the country-stood on the verge Of a great precipice, and Parliament ought, man fully 44.'104. into its situation before was too late—(Hear, hear o—For himself, he bad no wish to alter the principle of the Committee, if tire country had the power to go through it—;(lle4r; bear !)—IIe was one of those who endear6urfd to bring the country back to the legitimate stand ard of, its currency ; for Ile was convinced -that the, discretionary standard 'Which had existed be tweek the Bank-and the country tended to lead the country to its ruin. At the time the Report of the Committee bad been brought down to that, Rouse be•*as of opinion that. it would have been impossible for the country Coretnrn to its ancient standard ; if that were his opinion then, how much more forcibly, with the experience of the last two years before him.. must be his opinion now ? lie was .convinc:;d, that_ the measure which the Committee recommended, produced great and universal distress, it took away one third or one-half of the capital of every, man, merchant, or ship-owner engaged in trade. its effects upon the - farmer were not less severe ;-,he was convinced that the - evils of which the far mers complained, were, to a great extent, cre ated by the change and - vacillation_ applied to the currency o, the country for the last twenty years. It left nothing Steady - or Per 'rnituent—it raised and it depressed.ihe 'vahie of property. In 1816, in consequence of the grant issue-of Paper, prices immediately rose and the farmers- saw.goed times attain ; depression sac-, deeded, but vain, hopes of future prosperity re mained. Those hopes led men directly to their ruin—those treacherous hopes of brighter days were created by the Paper Cuirency, and greatly tended to aggravate tire evils of the system —not merely with respect to fawners and tradesmen, but country gentlemen. He would put alarni liar. instance Of the nifects of the Paper Currenry. In 1816, an individual possessed an income of 60001. per annum ; he owed 20001. per annum, leaving - I - 6m a sum of 40001. per annum to spend. The average price Of . corn in 1816 was 100 s. the bushel, and his rents were duly-paid. , Corn falls to what he had no doubt it would ultiMately reduced to, between 40 and 50 shillings the bush el—thus- his income' is reduced from six thdu sand pounds to nearly three thousand pounds- a year—leaving - him but 1000/. instead of .40001.-to spend. For the relief of such a Man, it would be in -vain to interfere with the ptiblic creditor ; taking away one half the interest of the_ public debt would not. relieve him ;' nothing could re lieVe -him but high' prices. Anxious as he was to give every relief to tire agriculturist, he yet would not lend himself to the delusion o f the Commit tee, which would be restrained from examining almost the only questions worthy their attention. P. GniNem:a regretted that his Tionouia ble Friend did not reserve. hiniself for a - .fitter occasion.' • He had 'stated that the Cthmnittee had been guilty of a great error ; he (M.r.G.) Was one of-that-Committee, and without, at all:going' into the question, he must say that he differed in 'that respect with his Honourable Friend.' • He'wns,Uf opinion; that every thing whiCh happened since 1810, demonstrated the soundness of the opinion on which their Report had been founded; it Was not correct to impute to the.measu'rerecoMmend ed by the Committee, any part of the distreSs whiCh pressed upon thd Country. • Before:the Report.of the Commit tee.Fiad been broughtdow . n, the Bank Of England had the - optien to issue the coin of the realm, but the Banks of England and Ireland were about that time 'restricted, and . it was not at present in their p o w er t o pay sums of a limited amount in specie. lie looked upon it as desirable that the restriction should' be remov ed, and that the banks of the country shOuld'hale the option to pay in gold. , • FALtcE explained ; he said that be would not have entered into the statement which he hart made that night if he had not received the ell.• couragenient of the House. Mr..llustussoN'expressed his regret that the Honohrable Gentleman :should have So suddenly lwought the House into the discusSion of a silt,- joct which required to be handled with much caution. Ile was never more surprised than, OR coming into the Ilonse to find the. lonouraCe Gentleman speaking on the subject of the Cur rency of the Country, at a time when the floino, was generally employed on private business; such a course of proceeding he laoked upon as ert tremely irregular. Mr. I! ints“ cohceived that his lionourale Friend (Mr, Ellice) had done a pnblic good * by bringing. the question before ate House, and by habituating the House to the consideration of the subject. it waS not a subject to be. settled tin what was called a grand flebatc, it was a subject that required great consideration, and the Nome should not shrinkfrorn the avowal of the truth. Ile (Mr. raring) wus not disposed to touch the 'air which had been, lately made upon the snh iect, at least so far as would in the slightest de- Gree amount to a breach of the pubiic-faith; yilt it
