C•PITI011 OF • STAG IN TRZ QOADRANGLI OP
WINDOM o••Ths—Yasterday elternomi a very excite(
and amusing incident occurred at Windsor Castle. The
Queen's stag-hounds had met at Bedfont in the more*,
and the stag, it is understood, after a long chase, cramped
the Thames somewhere in the direction of Old Windsor,
and, followed by the hounds, huntsmen, and a portion of
' the field, which had been a large one, made away by the
model farm of the late Mace Consort to the Loog Walk.
Bounding over the light iron fence which separates the
meadows optima* the mausoleum at Frogmore, the stag
galloped backward and forward in the park, and driven by
a number of men about the place in the hope of turning it '
into the Long Walk, ft, as a dery ier rawer, dashed straight',
away in the direction of the south front of Windsor Guth.
With a single leap it cleared another fence, and mecum
up the Castle-hill, towards King Fdward IlL's Tower,'
passed beneath the gateway separating the last building i
from the base of the Round Tower gr Keep. Up the athep '
grassy slope of the mound the stag darted, sod after
running backwards and forwards on this elevated spot
and on the roof of a smell budding at the foot of the
tower itself, came down again with a rush, and leaped over
the low atone wall near the fountain into the greed Quad-
rangle, when, alter en exciting chase, which was, it is
understood, witnessed by bet Majeety and the royal family
from the private apartments of the castle, the stag wee
eventually captured by Morris, one of the whippernin' in
the archway of George IV.'s gate, on the mouth side of the
Quadrangle, and conveyed to the royal mews. The hunts-
men and hounds proceeded up the Long Walk to the iron
gates, facing the month entrance to the castle, but es the
privacy of this portion of the park, which lies close to the
private apartments of the palace, would have been violated
by their witty, they stopped short, and returned down the
Long Walk to the keetrals.

The New York Herald of the 17th says :

The rebels have of late been engaged in the coesivuotion
at a darn across • small creek which empties into the A ppo-
/patio: river near Petersburg, with the design. after •
suildeet quantity of water should be secured, of breaking
it sad flooding the Union lines, thus driving back our army,
Mad regaining some of the ground which has been so
gallantly wrested from them by Grant's soldiers. Works to
counteract this arrangement have been constructed on the
Union side. General Eagan, who has bad the superinten-
dence of these, was wounded in the arm on Sunday night
by a rebel picket, while making an examin►tion of them.
A sharp fight, apparently without any important remit,
occurred between the pickets in trout of • portion of the
army of the Potomac on last Monday sight. An attack by
She enemy in considerable form is daily looked for.
No information of the exact whereabouts of
General Sherman has yet been made public. A
Nashville despatch states that General Hood's army
ititill in the neighbourhood of Florence, Alabama,
one corps of it being on the north side of the Ten-
Demme river. The bad condition of the roads, it
is said, prevents Hood making any active demon-
stration. Over 2,000 Union soldiers had left
Indianopolis, Ind., for active service in the field,
and 6,000 still remain there.
The Richmond Whig contains rumours that Hood
took Decatur, Alabama, and captured the garrison
of 8,000 troops, half of whom were coloured, on
the 28th ult. A Confederate attack on Hunts-
ville, Alabama; is also reported. The Montgomery
mail, of the 7th inst. , is expecting an early advance
upon Augusta or Macon by Sherman. The Rich-
mond Examiner ridicules the idea of any such
movement.
The Herald says :

The latest rebel newspapers have an asneudeg despatch
in reference to the cavalry fighting in the Shenandoah
Valley on Saturday last, of which our correspondents have
furnished the particulars, and in which the rebels suffered
eeverely, one portico of them being driven through Frost
Royal by General Powell, who captured from them two
cannon!, 150 prisoners, and considerable ammunition. The
rebel despatch says that Sheridan's men weredriven beck with
beery loss, including 200 prisoners captured, while Early 's
loss was slight. Brigadier-General Tyler ham forwarded to
the War Department in Washington a black flag captured
front Early 's command is Angaat Wt. The efficiency and
activity of General Sheridan's cavalry le shown in the fact
that the first division of it, under Merritt, has captured
during the present campaign 29 pieces of artillery, 2,000
prisoners, 18 caisson., 100 waggons and ambulances, and 14
battle flags.

A vessel which has arrived at Halifax from Bermuda
bring. the news that the privateer Chickamauga was at
Five Fathoms Hole on the 7th inst. She had captured a
barque and two schooners in addition to those before re-

The bombardment of Charleston, 8.0., and Fort Sum-
ter, is reported as being still coatiassd with steadiness and
severity. Ten Union war vessels and 78 transports are res-

EXPRISISB FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TuReaDAT Emma

The IndEpewdattee Befge states that M.
Mooquard, the Emperor's private secretary, is
" dangerously " ill, and that the Emperor greatly
wished to have him at Oompeigne, but that he
was too weak to be removed. This melancholy
intelligence is repeated by several of the evening
papers without a word either of contradiction or
confirmation. M. Mocquard, it will be remem
bered, has been the Emperor's confidential setae-
tary ever since, and before, the coup (feta& His
death would be an immense loss to his Majesty.
The Patric is instructed to deny the truth of the
news that M. Ferdinand Barra, the French am-'
bassador at Madrid, has been created a duke and
a Spanish grandee by Queen Isabella.
The story that Dr. Demme and Mho Flora
Trutopy had been recognised at Havre as they
were embarking for America, and that the Swiss
consul there had attempted to obtain their extra-
dition, is positively contradicted by the Courtier
des Harm

The only other news touching this mysterious
case is given by a journal of small talk, the Ga-
tette des Etrangers, which says that Dr. Demme was
seen walking on the Paris boulevards on Saturday
morning with a lady on his arm. This announce-
ment will probably not command much credit,
though there is nothing incredible in the fact if it
were averred on tolerably trustworthy testimony
of the fugitive couple being in Paris. Wherever
they may be, the general opinion is that the bot-
tom of the Lake of Geneva is the last place in which
to look for them.

A volume of " reminiscences," by AL Coulmann,
an ex-deputy, contains some curious anecdotes of
&inner. One of his well-known songs, beginning

Inge aux yea: blow, proteges =A to Joan,

was originally dedicated to the late Madame Emile
de Girardin, then Mdlle. Delphine Gay. But it
being reported to l36ranger that at a soirée at
Madame Gay's, at which it was mentioned that
Bdranger had praised some verses of Mdlle.
Delphine's which had been severely handled in
other quarters, Madame Gay bad said in a
'patronising tone, " 06, Delphine also does justice
to Wranger," the old poet took offence at this
extraordinary pretension of a young lady to stand
as high on Parnassus as himself, and aooordingly
struck her name out of his proof-aheets. M. Coul-
mann describes Wranger as a man with a good
heart bnt an abusive tongue. He particularly
hated Benjamin Constant ; and, when told that he
purposed to pay him a visit in prison, thus spoke
of him:

Oh, yam, I am quite sure he will oome ; he wall sot
neglect this opportunity to seek popularity. I add OD Bus-
day last to the people .bout me that Benjamin Constant
would be saying, " I wish I had written soap, and bees
condemned for them like Beranger.• He envies every made
triumph, no matter of what kind. He fancied he loved
Madame de Steel ; but all he aired for in reality was the
110018.600/ which she gave him. He is DOW so WOOD out
that he is obliged to borrow kin eestinteate from Gabon. All
his passions are artificiaL

There was a good deal of animation at the open-
ing of the Bourse, and Rente for account realised
at one moment an improvement of 10c. on yester-
day's closing quotation. A fall of in Consols
failed for some time to check the ardour of the
bulls. But, later in the day, although Console re-
covered 1, the report was spread that money was
in great request in London, and that in all probabi-
lity neither the Banks of France nor England
would make any reduction in the rate of discount
this week. The Rente closed rather heavily at
yesterday's price, &Er. sc. hiobilier rose 2f r. 500.
Railways are steady, with little alteration in prices.
The Seville-Xeres line continues to be in brisk
demand.
The Daily News is seised.
