THI Parsce AND PRINCESS or WALES IN TIM
HUNTING FIELD.—On Saturday, the gentlemen of the
West Norfolk Hunt had the honour of welcoming their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales in
the bunting field. The "most" was fixed at eleven
o'clock, at Western High House, situate in a splendid
bunting country. The Prince accepted the squire's invi-
tation to partake of Rome refreshment The " field"
numbered from 200 to 230 horsemen. The Prince rode
well to tho hounds, and evinced a keen appreciation of
the sport, as indeed did al,o the Princess, who, driving
a pair of greys, proceeded in the direction the fox had
token, and came up with the field at Narford Hall,
where a slight check had occurred. Her royal high-
ness, who way attended by the Countess of Morton,
alighted at Norford Hall, the sent of A. Fountain, Req.
The hounds being again east off, got into the right track,
and the Prince of Wales, with the master of the hunt
(H. Villebois, Esq.) were soon in
_pursuit.
EXTRAORDINART Actinert.—During • run with her
Majeety's staghounds from Farnham onninon on Tues-
day, the 10th inst., a most unusual accident occurred
to Mr. Lambert, of Denham-court. The stag, • very
large one, after running an hour, ran into • farmyard
with the hounds at hand. Mr. Wilbert, following close,
also entered the farm yard, end in going through a gate-
way at the corner of a building at the other side of the
yard, he suddenly met the stag making for the same
gate, and coming from the right. The animal at once
made a Jump, to clear man and borne; he cleared the
'attn., but struck Mr. lambert on the breast, and
dashed him with great force to the ground, and then
pitched on a rail beyond. Mr. Lambert who was much
stunned and cut in the head. was taken into the
farm-house, when his wounds were washed with brandy,
and after a time he was able to go home. The stag,
after running a mile, was taken, when it was found
necessary from the injury he bad received to destroy
him.

--ifUNTING ACCIDINT.—Lord Middleton nearly lost his
"first whip" on Monday night. The meet was at Sled.
mere, and some of the hounds were scattered, and the
first whip remained to get them together. The night
wai very dark, and being • stranger—this being his first
aeason, he took the country by Wharrstn home. Behind
Wharram Church there are some spring heads, and into
one of these horse and rider fell, the horse being upper-
most. Both lay in the cold spring water unable to
extricate themselves, but, curious enough, both with
beads above water. The hounds in the dark were heatd
down the valley as far as Wharram station, and by the
passengers in the last train on the Driffleld Railway.
As the hounds continued to cry for so long a time, some
labourers set off in the direction of the striaet, see what
was the matter. Here the man who found the pitiable
position of the "whip" was prevented rendering him
any help by the dogs, which for some time would tot
permit man or horse to be touched, and would clearly
have worried any One attempting to rescue single-
handed. Both man and hone, however, were even-
Wally got out after two hours' immersion. The "whip"
was taken to the nearest house, and was soon able to
move about again. The hunter, however, • valuable
mare, took a great deal of getting roand, and seemed
by fertile worse of the two. Had not assistance arrived
man and horse must inevitably liars been starved to
death.

A gentleman of Philadelphia, who went to Gettynburg
us volunteer surgeon, came into our office last week and
showed us • most touching relic of that terrible battle.
It was • melainotype, or Linbrotype on iron, of three
children, and was taken from the hands of • dead
soldier belonging to the Union Army. He bad been
mortally wetinded, and crawled to • shelterei: place,

MISB Bouerrs Foengs.—Our readers will probably re-
member the marriage at St. John's Church, Chatham. •
short time since, of the young African Princess, Miss
Bonetta Forbes, the protegie of the Queen, who was
brought to this country by Captain Forbes in Her
Majesty's ship Bonetta, from the coast of Africa, and
educated by the Rev. J. Schap, chaplain of Melville
Hospital, Matham, at the expense of Her Majesty, who
always took the most lively interest in her welfare, and
occasionally had her at Court. On the occosion of the
marriage of the young Princes to J. Davis, Eaq., a
coloured West India merchant, who has since settled
on the Gold Coast, the Queen took the most lively in-
terest in the event, and made Miss Forbes several hand-
some wedding presents, all of which were fully described
at the time. Intelligence has now been received of a
further mark of favour conferred on Mrs. Davis, who
has just given birth to • daughter, to whom Her Majesty
has stood godmother by proxy. At the same time the
Queen has presented to her godchild • beautiful gold
cop, with • salvor, knife, fork, and spoon of the same
metal, at a baptismal present. The cup and salver bear
the following inscription :—" To Victoria Davis, from
her godmother, Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland, 186l."—Sosak.fficreern Gazette.
