Sale of Lord Stamford's Hunting Stud,

The sale of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington's
hunting stud, consequent on his lordship having resigned
the mastership of the Quorn hounds, took place on Satur •
day at the kennels, Quordon. There were 80 lots, exclusive
of Lord S tamtord's brace of favourite., Bradgate (now white
with i.ge) and the foxhound Albert, who will never be
parted with. The special trains brought in a large number
of persons of high rank from various parts of the country.
Of the foxhounds Colonel Clewes has taken the greater part
of the original pack, the remainder being bought in by Sir
Watkin W. Wynn, Bart. The sale was to have taken
place in the grass-yard adjoining the kennels, where a
gallery was erected for the accommodation of visitors; but,
in consequence of the large number of persons present, it
was found insufficient, and an enclosure, octagonal in form,
was made in the paddoAr adjoining. The sale commenced
shortly after 12 o'clock Messrs. Tattersall presiding.
Amongst the company on the ground wore the Earl and
Countess of Stamford and 'Warrington, Count B.tikraoy
Sir J. C. Fowke, Bart.., Sir H. Clifton, Lord Macclesfield,
Lord H. Bentinck, the Marquis of Hastings, Lord Berners,
Colonel Marriott, Colonel Hood, Equerry to his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales; Colonel Clewes, Duke of
Buccleuch, Lord Middleton, Captain Duncombe, Lord
Nacre, Sir F. Johnstone, Lord A. St. Maur, Viscount Ina
gestre, &c. After Mr. Tattersall had commented on the
fine stud to be presented, and intimated that it was the in-
tention of the Earl of Stamford to continue to subscribe
largely to the Quorn Hunt, notwithstanding that he had
resigned the mastership, the sale of the different animals
was proceeded wi h. The fine appearance of the horses
elicited general admiration, and the bidding was throughout
very spirited. Colonel Hood, acting for his Royal High.
ness the Prince of Wales, purchased Bentinek and Right
Man, the former for 500, and the latter for 310 guineas.
The Earl of Dudley gave 400 for Forester, and Lord Henry
Bentinck the same amount for Phoenix, both capital hun-
ters Rocket was purchased by 'he Marquis of Hastings
for 480 guineas, and Charmwood was knocked down to the
same nobleman at the price of 460 guineas. Lord Middle.
ton gave 310 guineas for Sultan, and Sir F. Johnstone be-
came the owner of Skylark for 310 guineas. Lord Stam-
ford's once favourite hunter Trumpeter had a reserve of
600 put upon him, and no offer in advance of that sum
having been made, he was returned to his stable. The
whole 80 lots realised 16,846 guineas, being an average o.
187 guineas each horse.

A special exhibition of sculptures in ivory will be
open to the members of the Archeological Institute, at the
apartments of the institute, from Monday, June 1, to Sa-
turday, June 13, inclusive.
ST MATTHEW'S SPRING ,GARDENS.--The Right
Rev. Dr. Ewing, Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, has been
Announced to preach in the above chapel on Sunday morn-
ing next, when the annual collection for the expenses of the
chapel will be made. It will be remembered that in the late
Scottish Synod the Bishop of Argyll was the strenuous ad-
vocate for abolishing the " Scotch communion office," in
order to make the Scottish Episcopal Church identical in
doctrine and liturgy with the Church of England.
SIR R. MAYNE AND THE CITY AUTHORITIES.—
On Friday was returned to Parliament a letter from
Sir R. Mayne to the Home Secretary, dated April 24, giving
a narrative, from his point of view, of the arrangements,
negotiations, &c , which preceded the entry of the Princes,.
Alexandra into the metropolis. He states that on the
28th of February he told a deputation from the Royal Re-
ception Committee of the City, that if they chose to follow
the royal carriages after passing Temple Bar, arrange-
ments should be made to keep the route open; but this
offer was met by an indignant refusal, and an assurance
that the Lord Mayor could not appear anywhere but in
front of the royal carriages. His offer to send metropolitan
police to keep tree from obstruction the small part of Chan-
cery-lane that is within the City and the part of Fleet:
swot from Temple Bar to Chancery-lane, was.t"ntewS
oepted. "I am quite cert4n," he
