A FLOCK OF SHEEP, of precisely the same kind as those the park of Windsor, has just been placed in the in
upper part of
the park of St. Cloud.
AT a recent sale of the Marquis of Ete tud, Lord Londesborough purchased Stockwell, the winners of the St.
Leger, for 3,100 guineas ; at the same sale Nutwith was sold
for 1,600 guineas, and Ambrose for 790 guineas.
THE thrashing-machines are already merrily at work
amongst the new wheat. It may be easily accounted for. A
man of money may want straw or a man of straw may want
money, while some, wanting neither one nor the
other, may
deem it prudent, without exactly anticipating a fall in the
market, yet withal to realise at the present tempting prices.
THE MOORS AND Foansxs.—The moors continue to yield
fair sport. Blackgame have been less plentiful than could
have been wished, but several of these fine birds have been
struck down during the week. The weather has been in gen-
eral most propitious. The distinguished party at the Duke of
Richmond's shootings on the Black-water were out daring four
days. On Wednesday last, the Earl of March and the Earl of
Derby, after one, p.m., bagged eighteen and a half brace
of grouse, six blackcock, and two plover. The same two noble-
men bagged, on the following day, twenty-five and a half brace
of grouse and three hares. The party on the Carr-bridge
moors have had good sport since the season opened. Up to the
night of Thursday last, after only nine days' regular shooting,
it was found that the party, comprising five guns, had brought
down no fewer than 2,077 brace of grouse, besides blackgame,
snipes, hares, &e. In a season when grouse have been more
than usually scarce, this amount of success is quite extraordi-
nary, and we suspect is unequalled on any other moor in Scot-
land this year. From the Ross-shire moors we have very
favourable reports. Our correspondent says :—" The weather
in this country is still of the most favourable character for
grouse shooting. On Tuesday last, N. E. Vaughan, Esq., and
party, knocked over five roe-deer. On the following day the
same party had thirty-five brace of grouse, two and half of
blackgame, besides several hares. On the South Garve moor,
during the week, J. Edwards, Esq., killed ninety head of
game, comprising grouse, blackgame, hares, rabbits, &c'
Mr. Pryor and party still continue to get excellent sport.
On the. Strathvaugh grounds the party had in one day
lately upwards of forty brace. In Strathconnon Forest
J. La Touche, Esq., is still bringing down some excellent
stags. Among those killed by that gentleman lately
are two antlered monsters, whose huge dimensions out-
strip any we have heard of this season. One of these had
fifteen points, and weighed nineteen imperial stone! The
other had thirteen points, and weighed fifteen stone! Edward
Clough Taylor and friends are bagging from twenty-five to
fifty brace a day in Glen Orrin and Glendordie."—Banffehire
Journal.

HUTS Fon THE CRIMEA.—Some of the huts contracted for
by Messrs. Lucas, Brothers, Lowestoft, are now in course of
shipment for the Crimea, by the bark Barretto Junior, of
London. The huts for the soldiers, of which Messrs. Lucas
have provided 53, are designed to accommodate 22 men each,
and are 32 feet by 16 feet. The first operation in erecting
them will be to lay down cast-iron shoes, of which each hut
will require 14. Upon these shcies the sleepers which will re-
ceive the floor will be placed. The floor of each hut consists of
24 panels, 5 feet 4 inches by 4 feet each ; and the ends of five
panels each, with the door in the centre. The gables are two
panels in each, with a ventilator to each panel. The sides and
ends are bolted together with strong three-quarter inch
bolts. The roof is similarly constructed, and is in two thick-
nesses of three-quarter-inch parallel boarding, the outer being
of weather-board, with a layer of felt between. Each roof is
provided with two ventilators, and the windows, four in
number, are hung upon centres, and will also be available for
ventilation. The huts are so light that a man on each side
of one of them would be able to move it readily, and they will
be easily and rapidly erected, as a side panel will fit any part
of the side. The same is also the case with the floor, ends,
and roof ; but, to prevent the least confusion or mistake, every
panel, &e., is marked with initials referring to the purpose for
which it is intended. Messrs. Lucas have also constructed 12
portable huts for hospitals, each of them being designed to
accommodate 50 men. They have floors similar to the huts
already described, but the walls as well as the roofs are in two
thicknesses, with felt between, for the purpose of increasing
the warmth of the interiors. The walls consist of sills and
heads, with post-frames, forming bays and panels. In aali-
tion to these hospital huts the enterprising contractors have
also been engaged upon 30 officers' huts, 72 feet by 20 feet, and
designed to accommodate 16 persons each. The arrangements
of these huts are of course on a more extensive scale. 'Each
of them contains eight rooms, two transverse passages, with
several cross partitions running from end to end. Six corn-
missariat storehouses, each 76 feet by 20 feet, and 12 others,
40 feet by 20 feet, have also been constructed. These huts
required 32,000 bolts, and some idea may be formed of the
large quantity of material cut up, and the expedition with
which the work has proceeded, when it is stated that 53,000
superficial feet of deal have been daily " worked up."
