WI xnana Rovitt. HUNT.—On Monday morning, Lord
Maryborough, Master of the King's Stag Hounds, and a
numerous field of sportsmen, assembled at Ascot Heath,
where a fine deer, from Windsor Great Park, was turned
out for the day's diversion. The deer started in the direc-
tion of Sunning-hid bogs, by Kingsbeach-hill, across the
heath, towards Virginia-water, taking to the right across
the country with great speed, then to the left, where he'
was taken, after a smart chase of upwards of two hours and
a half.

The Lord Chancellor is expected in town in a few days,
for the purpose, as it is supposed, of affixing his signature
to the report from the Chancery Commissioners, of whom
his Lordship is one.
The Dublin Morninsr Post says, " The marriage of his
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, with Mrs. Patterson, is
certainly to take place--we believe the day is not fixed,
but report states that it will not be postponed beyond the
ensuing week. It has been erroneously supposed that the
lady is the same who had been formerly the wife of Je-
rome Bonaparte, Ex-King of Westphalia. This is not the
fact ; Mrs. Patterson is the widow of the brother of that
amiable and accomplished lady, and is herself also a most
beautiful and accomplished woman. She was presented at
Court at one of the King's late Drawing-rooms. His Ma-
jesty is said to have admired her very much. Mrs. Patter-
son is a Romaa Catholic, and a native of the United States."
Mrs. Coats and the Duke of St. Alban's arrived at Edin-
burgh on Tuesday. They visited the Castle, when they
invited the Officers of the 17th Regiment to a splendid
ulejeuue a la Jourebetle. of which General Sir R. W. O'Cal-
laghan, old Provost Henderson, and other distinguished
individuals, also partook.
There is, we understand, no longer any doubt as to the
nuptials of a noble Duke and a wealthy widow. The
marriage will certainly take place very shortly.
