BRAEMA R.—On Monday Lord Powerscourt brought down
a stag in the Derry Forest at the extraordinary distance of
400 yards. The Earl of Fife also shot a fine stag in Mar
Forest on the same day, On the Invercauld moors, Col.
Farquharson shot two stags on Saturday and one on Mon-
day. Captain Farquharson, of the 60th Rifles, shot the
heaviest stag of the season in the Ballochbuie Forest, on
Monday ; it weighed 171st. clean.
CAITHNESS.—The weather has been more favourable this
week. We have the following accounts from the moors :
On the 18th Mr. Hogg and Mr. Dawson each killed 26 brace;
Mr. Forman did not shoot, On the 20th Mr. Dawson bagged
37 brace ; Mr. Hogg 351 brace ; and Mr. Forman 28 brace.
On the 21st Mr. Hogg did not shoot; but Mr. Dawson
shot 16 brace, and Mr. Forman 14 brace. On the 24th Mr.
Hogg bagged 28 brace, Mr. Dawson 19/ brace, and Mr.
Forman 16 brace. The bag of the, three guns in six days
amounted to 3861 brace grouse, besides snipes, hares, and
wild ducks. There has been no shooting on the Thrumster
moors this week in consequence of the illness of Sir F.
Sykes. From the moors of Rumsdale and Forest of Glutt
we have the following accounts of the game killed between
Aug. 18 and 30 by one gun and one rifle, each out seven
days :—Captain Campbell of Balliveolan, 180 grouse, 4
hares, 2 plovers, 1 snipe ; Mr. T. E. 0. Horne, 5 stags and
2 hinds. The grouse are perfectly healthy, although some
broods are late, and s me have evidently been destroyed by
the wet breeding season. Three or four guns might easily
have shot the same quantity each. Stags are in fair condi
Hon, and there is an unusual show of hinds with calves.—
John o' Groat Journal.—

INVERNESS-SHIRE AND THE NORTH--The weather for
the last eight days, with the exception of Wednesday (when
we had continuous rain), has been generally favourable for
sportsmen and corn fields. Good bags have been made on
many moors, and good sport experienced in the forests. On
the shootings of Easter Kyllachy, Mr, Kidstone and Mr.
Ellis, up to the 27th ult., had shot 258 brace of grouse, 3
roe-deer, 5 couples of snipes, and 16 hares. Lord Stamford
and Warrington in one day bagged 82 brace of grouse on
Dulnan moors, and on another day killed 3 stags in Glen-
more forest. In Strathconon, Mr. Leigh's party had the
following sport !—On the 26th ult., 1 stag, weight 17 stone
101 b., with 9 tines, measuring 27 inches : on the 27th, 2
stags, weighing respectively 15 st. 21b. and 14 st., also 60
brace of grouse; on the 28th, 2 stags ; on the 29th, 54
brace of grouse ; and on the 30th, 2 stags—one of them
royal, weighing 16 stone 111 b., and measuring 31 inches.
At Ceannacroe, on Tuesday last week, Lord Dacre shot a
one-horned stag, after which many a bullet had been sent,
and though often wounded, the old stag was found in good
condition. Mr. Whitbread, at the same station, killed 30
brace of grouse on Friday last—all fine birds. At Corrie-
hallie, Sir Edward Kerrison, on Monday last, killed two
stags right and left, both ten-pointers ; the head of the
finest of the two Sir Edward has sent to Mr. Snowie, to be
preserved. The Stonelarig moor continues to afford good
sport, though the birds are very wild. On Thursday,
Captain Harding bagged 251 brace of grouse, and on Sa-
turday Mr. J. M'Nab shot 20 brace. At Farr, Captain
and Mr. F. V. Nugent (between 15th and 23d ult.) killed

Mr. Bradshaw, 151; Sir H. Bromley, 103/4. On the Belle-
ville shootings, on Monday, the 25th, Mr. Allsopp's whole
party took to hare shooting on the high ground, where they
bagged 91 hares and 62 brace grouse. The hares were divided
amoung the poor people and others in the village of Kin-
gussi. On the 26th, the same party took to roo hunting in
the plantation on Pitmain, where Mr. Allsopp shot a doe,
Mr. G. Allsopp another, and Mr. Wodehouse a buck. On the
27th the whole party took to grouse shooting on Pitmain.
Colonel Clowes and Major Boultbee had 31j brace grouse
and 7 hares; the Rev. J. Cook, Dr. Carden, and Mr G. All-
sopp had 213/4 brace grouse ; and Mr. Wodehouse 263/4 brace

mashie. Mr. Edwards killed to
his o
wn
the 20th 25 brace, on the 21st 13 brace, 23don
20 brace. Mr. Glass on the 20th had 15 brace. Mr.
Edwards and party killed on the 25th 112 brace. On
the 28th, Mr. Glass killed 13 brace only, a great outpour of
rain stopping the shooting in the afternoon. On the Gled-
field Moors, Ross-shire, on ahe 26th, Colonel Hind had 18
brace grouse. On the 27th, Rev. C. Leslie 14 brace. On
the 28th, Lieutenant Beauchamp 121 brace, and on same

W. Cloves two fine stags : and on the 26th the party had
54 brace grouse. On the 25th ult., on the Aultmore Hills,
the Duke of Richmond and Mr. Cox had 15 brace of grouse

On Wednesday Lord March brought down two very fine
stags at Glenfiddieh. On the 25th Sir G. Macpherson
Grant, Bart., of Ballingdalloch, and Capt. Campbell killed
on the Spey 5 grilse, 3 of them falling to Sir George's own

5 brace of grouse, 2 brace of black game, and 3 hares. On
Tuesday Mr. Gibson-Craig killed a grilse weighing 61b.
On Thursday Sir George and Capt. Campbell were out and
killed 1 salmon and 2 grilse. On Friday Mr. Pocklington
killed 2 grilse. On the Blairfindy moors Mr. Newell has
been out nearly every day during the past week, but shoots
only sparingly, wishing to preserve the birds, and his bags
have, therefore, been small, ranging from 7to 8 brace. In
Glenavon, Lord Henry Bentinck has been very successful
at deer-stalking. Although the weather has been cold and
backward, and deer are in good condition and very largr
and such beautiful
heads have not been seen in the forest
for a long time back. His lordship killed 2 stags on Tuesday.
On Thursday
he brought down 1 stag, and on Friday 3, one
of them a royal, and on Saturday he had one stag, making
seven for the week.—Scotsman.

The Resistance, 18, screw iron frigate, Captain
Chamberlain, arrived at Spithead on Saturday
morning from the Nore. On anchoring, she ex-

changed the customary salutes with the flagship of
the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir H. W.

Bruce. She is ordered into Portsmouth harbour
to-day to go into dock.

A suggested change to improve the rations of sea
men is viow on trial at Portsmouth. It is proposed
to substitute loaf bread, or " soft tack," as seamen
term it, for the excellent biscuit now in use in the
navy. The manufacture of loaf bread has fairly
began at the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard at
Portsmouth, and three large ovens in the biscuit
bakery are now appropriated for baking the bread,
3,0001 b. of which is baked per day, and served out
in lieu of biscuit to the crews of her Majesty's ships
Victory, Edgar, and Excellent, the commanding
officers of which ships will have to forward special
report to the Admiralty on the working of the new
system, and its adaptability to the naval service.
The bread is made from a mixture of the purest
flour and water, and the dough is fermented by
yeast in the usual manner. The result of this is,
that the loaves now being produced at the Royal
Clarence-yard are of a closer texture than the loaves
retailed to the general public by the professional
baker, and are of a more satisfying nature, it being
in fact pure wheaten bread. There are, however,
reasons existing which must militate greatly against
the measure being carried into effect to the extent
at present contemplated, yet the loaf may supersede
the biscuit in port. These are the additional space
which would be required in each ship for ovens and
the additional stowage which would be required in
the ship's hold to carry the casks of flour, and also
the deterioration which the flour would be subject
to from the heat and damp of a vessel's hold.
Then, with regard to the seamen, the constant use
of ovens on board a ship, especially iran-cased,
would render them insufferably hot in the tropics,
and must materially affect the health of the crew.
There are also financial objections on the part of
the seamen. Under present regulations a certain
allowance of biscuit is apportioned per man, which
the men eat if they please, or, not taking it up from
the ship's steward on issue days, receive a money
value for it instead; but under the new system a
man must eat his loaf or leave it, and under no cir-
cumstances will he be paid for any portion of his
bffcorrhoreAamtantdnhi allowance which he does not consume.
