THE DUKE Or BEAD/ORT AND TEE WOLV7B.
Accounts from Pelt= state that the Duke of Beaufort's
hounds have made fresh attempts mminst the wolves, which,
although unatteaded with any positive results, still show
undoubted progress, as the dogs are beginning to catch the
scent of those animals. nay a few days since pee chase
to • wolf, which they followed with great spirit for some
time, but at length, on arriving at a spot of dry ground,
completely lost the scent, and wore at fault. The following
day another attempt was made in the forest of Gown;
where • sheep had been killed in the morning by two
wolves. The wood war beaten for some time by the dogs
of M. Cuichard, who resides in the neighbourhood, but
without success, and the persons assembled were about to
disperse when one of the animals was seen leaving a porner
of the wood which had not been tried, and not far from
where the English pack were standing. The dogs started
off in full my and followed up the scent for some time, but
sgein,:zti to the dryness of the ground, lost it, and the

TEE DLL FIGHTS AT NISNEL—Tbe French So-
ciety for the Protection of Animals bps seat the following
note to the journals :—" On the unouncement of the bull
fights to take place at Ninnies on the 10th and 14th inst. the
society was much moved, and would have failed in its mu.
sion if it did not loudly protest against the re-establishment
in Francs of those cruel exhibitions, which are, moreover,
is formal opposition to the law of July, 1860, since the
animals there sacrificed are moat useful for domestic pur-
poses. The society also °onside' it its duty to point out
to the superior authority the illegality and the dangers of
those fights, and to solicit the interdiction of them."
MURDER NEAR HERNE BAY.—OD Saturday
evening a brutal murder was perpetrated at a little village
called Maypole. situate in the parish of Herne, • short die-
tetic. from Herne Bay. The murdered man was • carrier
between that place and Canterbury, and a dealer in stock,
named Richard Steed. It appeared that early in the even-
ing be wee drinking at • publio.boase with a number of
navvies and • man named Alfred Eldridge, who has recently
been discharged from St. Augustine 's Gaol, where he had
been confined for stealing timber. The deceased (who was of

of drink) quarrelled with some of the parties in the public.

oompanied by Eldridge. He was not seen afterwards until
between 7 and 8 o'clock,when he was found almost in •
lifelessatate in • middleroad leading from Herne to Maypole,
where he resided. He was frightfully disfigured,his face being
completely battered in as if by • severe kick. Though in this
state, life was not quite extinct, the poor fellow still breath-

were apprised of the tranesetioe, and Sergeant Walker, from

protests his innocence of the crime, but admits that he left
the public-house in company with the deceased. He states,
however, that he parted with him some 200 or 300 yards
from whirrs the body was found.
Owe ACCIDENT AT HORNSZY-WOOD HOUSE.
On Saturday afternoon a serious accident took place in the
enclosed shooting-ground at Hornsey.wood House during
one of the usual pigeon shooting sweepstakes. At these
gatherings experierited persons are in attendance for the
purpose of loading and capping the guns for the competi-
tors, and in the event of the guns getting out of order
there is a workman's bench upon the ground, which is
'Muted between the spectators and those competing for
the prises ; consequently the bench is generally surrounded
during the firing. It appeared that as Mr. Thorogood was
Gouged in loading the gun of one of the gentlemen con-
tending for • sweepstakes, and while in the act of letting
the triggers down upon the nipples, having previously placed
the caps upon them, he, by pore accident, touched the
trigger of the left-hand barrel, which instantly dischareed
its contents into the leg of a gentleman who was standing
about two feet from it, and shattered the ankle, leaving the
foot banging by • piece of skin. The unfortunate man,
who is about 25 years of op, and whose name is Robert
Taylor, residing lathe Holloway-mad, fell to the ground,
while poor Thorogood, who wee almost frantic at what he
bad done, ran for medical assistance. The shooting was
instantly stopped, and everybody on the ground manifested
the deepest sympathy for the unfortunate man, who lay in
an apparently dying state. Upon the arrival of Mr. Collew,
of the Horneeproad, the poor fellow's leg wee bound up,
and be woe conveyed to Bartholomew's Hospital, where it
was found necessary to amputate the limb, and it is said to
be doubtful whether the unfortunate man will survive the
accident._

to-day, sod an isispeetioo of the way and works was made
on Saturday by • party of directors of the Great Esatern
Company. The hoe, which commences at the Hythe, Col-

of the increased Miele will necessitate some additional
accommodation at the Colchester station, and arrange.

expected that the Wivenhoe trains will run into a carriage
dock similar to that used at lifermiogtree, where the
Harwich branch leaves the main line. From Wivenhoe the
Teodriog HaDdred line will eventually be earned to the
coast at Briglitlhigese and Waltonwn•the-Nun. The work.
executed thus far have been carried out under the direction
of Mr. P,Braff, C. E.
