EHE ROYAL HUNT.

WINDSOR, DEc. 15.—The sport in Surrey with this
establishment last week was everything that could be wished
for, and the muster at the meet on each hunting day was
numerous and sporting-like, and on the first day attended
by Royalty—the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, with the
Princess Augusta, being present to witness the turn-out. In
addition to the sporting musteron the first and two other days,
the assemblage of spectators was brilliant and numerous. The
Noble Master (the Earl of Errol) was at his post, and not
only exerted himself to afford sport, but so arranged the
turns-out that that the spectators might have good views.
The first day's meeting (on Monday) was at Coombe
Farm, near Kingston, whence the deer proceeded to
Cheam, by Morden, Carshalton, Beddington, Whaddon,
&c., and was taken in a farm-yard at Whaddon, near Croy
don. On Wednesday, the second day's sport, the fixture
was Epsom-downs ; the deer took to Walton-heath, down
the hills by the chalk-pits, by Margery-grove and Gatton,
then over a fine fencing country by Reigate, passing the
windmill towards Red-hill, and after a severe run was taken
at Godstone. The third and last day of the week the deer
was uncarted on the downs, beyond Leatherhead, and went
away over the race-course, on for Banstead-park, then head-
ing back to Ewell and Epsom, through the park of Sir
Gilbert Heathcote, back towards the Common and Headly-
hill, thence to Leatherhead, Fetcham, and Bookham-com-
mon, when the chase ended, after running for two hours
and a half—an excellent finish to the three days' sport.
On Tuesday the meet was at Wrexham, where a large
assemblage of well-mounted sportsmen met to enjoy the
sport of the day, and many of them anticipating a further
treat—the presence of their Sovereign, it being understood
the previous morning that it was her Majesty's intention to
witness the turn-out, and to appear on horseback. In the
morning, however, it was known in Windsor that her Ma-
jesty had postponed her visit till a future day. Among
the sporting circle were several who had ridden some great
distance in anticipation of seeing the Queen. We noticed
there Lords Dudley Stuart, A. Fitzclarence, Colonel An-
son, &c. The deer, on being uncarted, took across Fulmer
Common, passed Pickeridge, away to Gerard's Cross Com-
mon, and Alderman Bottom, through Haw Wood, across
Southland's Farm, where some brooks caused a sharp look-
out, and not a few of the gallant followers fathomed several
of them. The pace here was very good, and the line was
by Uxbridge and Cowley to Hurstwood and Drayton,
where the deer was taken. The run lasted an hour and a
quarter, and was a fair day's sport.
PRESENCE OF THE QUEEN.—The place of meeting
yesterday was at Mile-house, near Salt-hill, on the Bath
road, and the morning itself was of that description to
haveinsured a strong muster there, but there was another
and still stronger exciting cause, which was the known
determination of her Majesty this day to ride on horseback,
accompanied by a numerous suite, to witness the turn-out.
The time of uncarting was consequently delayed beyond
the usual hour, the equestrians and pedestrians, and those
who were in carriages, parading the line of road from the
Two-mile brook to the Mile-house, anxiously looking for
the approach of their Sovereign, whose visit on such an
occasion had not until within these few days been ever
thought of ; indeed, had it been generally known, or even
believed by many who had heard the rumour, but who gave
no credence to it, the assemblage would have been im-
mense. However, about one o'clock the royal cortege was
seen approaching the place of meeting. Her Majesty was
attended by the Hon. Miss Murray, Baroness Lehzen,
Miss Quentin, Viscount Melbourne, Mr. P. Thomson,
Viscount Torrington, Colonel Buckley, Right Hon. G. S.
Byng, Hon. Major Keppel, Mr. C. Greville, Mr.
Brand, Sir Henry Wheatley, and General Sir G. Quen-
tin. The following distinguished persons followed in
pony phaetons—viz., Marchioness of Tavistock, Viscoun-
tess Torrington, Lady Mary Stopford, Lady C. Buckley,
he Earl and Countess of Albemarle, the Hon. Mrs.
Brand, and Miss Pitt. The Royal party rode along the
high road, which was lined on each side by the assembled
company, who respectfully saluted her Majesty as she
passed, and received in return a gracious recognition.
Having passed the assemblage, the cortege returned through
the line again. The Royal hounds, so justly celebrated
for beauty and excellence, with the Noble Master (the
Earl of Errol), Mr. Davis (her Majesty's huntsman), and
the remainder of the hunting establishment, were stationed
in a field close to the road side, so as to afford the illustri-
ous owner of this splendid establishment a perfect and un-
interrupted view of the hounds. The precise spot for the
turn-out having been determined on, which was in a field
belonging to Mr. Joshua Aldridge, on the other side of the
railroad, between the Mile-house and Salt-hill, the stag-
cart proceeded thither, and was followed by the Royal
party, who took up their station in the centre of the
field. The deer was uncarted close to them, and on being
set at liberty, after taking a few stately strides, turned
round and gazed for a few seconds at the Royal party, as
if in astonshment at the honour conferred by the Royal
visit, and at his being selected for the day's amusement.
Having gratified his curiosity in this respect the noble ani-
mal took a line of country that enabled her Majesty to
enjoy a good view of the commencement of the run. The
gular law having been given, the hounds were brought
into the field, took to the scent close by the Royal party,
and went gallantly away in pursuit, followed by a most
numerous and well-mounted field of sportsmen. When no
further trace of the hunt could be seen her Majesty and
suite returned into the high road, and proceeded to the
C .stle by Salt-hill, Chalvey, and Datchet. The route to
the hunt was through Windsor and Eton. We ought to
remark that the company in the field willingly obeyed the
request of the Earl of Errol as to taking up their stations,
by which the Royal party was not in any way incommoded.
We trust we Ann have to record many similar con,es-
cending visits of our young and amiable *Sovereign. The
day's sport was excellent. The deer was taken at Ger-
rard'Q-cross, after a beautiful run of one hour and a half-
-It'indsor Express.

Recruiting, en a most extensive scale, is now going
forward in no less than twenty-one regiments of the line.—
Sheffield Mercury.
Yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock,
Thomas Rose, a young man, twenty-two years of age, a
footman in the service of Alexander M‘Derinott, Esq., of
Baker-street, Portman-square, having been out with some
friends, returned to his master's house. Fearful of dis-
turbing the family, he attempted to climb over the iron
railings of the area. He had got one leg over the area
gate, when his foot slipped from off the lock, and the iron
srike entered his body to some extent. His cries awoke
the butler, who slept in the pantry, and he succeeded in
extricating the sufferer, and conveyed him into the house.
The injuries sustained are of so serious a description, that
he lies in a precarious state.
HUMILITY.—"" Have you called upon Mr.
and family that have recently become your neighbours ?"
asked a gentleman one morning, whilst taking a walk on
fie sea beach, of the better half of a certain vermiorm,
g .nteel, full fathom of Welsh divinity. "No ;" replied
the lady, bridling herself up, "We never call upon those
that do not keep a regular establishment, carriage, and
livery servants."—Carnarvon Herald:

THE MAILS.—As we mentioned on Saturday,
whenever the mail coaches to or from any particular dis-
t rict are put upon a railroad the change leads almost in-
variably to irregularity and delay in the delivery of letters.
This is a public inconvenience which neither need, nor
ought to exist.
Every department of our Government appears to be
in great activity, if we may judge from the number of
Queen's messengers that have been passing and repassing
this place during the last few days. The Foreign-office is
ot behind the rest. Two and three a day have sometimes
crossed the water lately ; and on Thursday last, such was
the urgency of the case with one of these gentlemen, that a
sailing-boat was hired to take him over to Calais.—Dover
Chronicle.
There has been an advance in the price of hemp
~ithin the last few weeks of 201. per ton, and it is likely to
he yet higher.—Carlisle Journal.
A Society for the protection of property has this
week been established at Penrith. All persons occupying
07 possessing property in that neighbourhood, will do well
immediately to avail themselves of the protection which a
general combination alone can secure.--Carlisle Journal,

esIONEX7 AND COMMENCIA;,

CITY (THIS DAYj,TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A mail from the Brazils has arrived, brought by the Mutine,
sailed from Rio Janeiro 28th ult., with a freight of 60,000
dollars. She brings no particular news, and did not touch at
Bahia or Pernambuco, and does not bring any arrivals relative
to the reported disturbances at Bahia, which were stated to
have occurred at the time she sailed from Rio Janeiro. The
exchange at Rio was 28 to I, Stock 79.
An American Paper of the 26th Nov. gives the foliating
account of the state of the weather :—" We are at this early
day assailed by a severity of cold which few anticipated. It
came on us on Saturday night, with an intensity almost un-
precedented, and has continued to this time without diminu-
tion. We fear that many goods in our canals will be prevented
by the ice from arriving at their places of destination.
The Baltimore American, alluding to the present high
prices of tobacco, based on the prospect of a short crop,
states, on the authority of the best-informed dealers in the ar-
ticle, that the crop of Maryland tobacco raised in 1838, is es-
timated about two-thirds of an average crop, or, in round
numbers, about 20.000 lbs.

The quantity of " ground leaf" saved this year is very
small, not exceeding one-fourth of the usual product.
We have received the Journal of Commerce of Antwerp of
yesterday's date. Accounts from Brussels state that since
yesterday it has been reported that two of our Ministers have
offered to resign. M. Willmar, Minister of War, is said to
be the first ; and it is not difficult to guess the other. It is
added, that their resignation was the result of a Council of
Ministers, in which was debated the question of adhesion or
resistance to the last resolutions of the Conferences at Lon-
don. The majority of the Council was composed of three
Ministers. A Portefeuille and a Minister of State pronounced
for the resistance. This report is much credited.
I have to communicate to you, by this opportunity, that
Messrs. Samuel and Phillips have contracted at 70 per cent.
for the Government Six per Cent. Stock.
Our exchange, which was looking up, has again flattened,
and bills to some extent have been done at 28k. In politics
:here is nothing new to communicate.

Buenos Ayres Papers have been received to the 30th Sep-
tember. We copy the following :
We have received the Monte Video Journals to the 25th
inst. Affairs are much in the same state as it regards the
civil war in the Oriental territory. Those in arms against the
Government are still in considerable force in the vicinity of
Monte Video ; but no fresh encounters have taken place. Pro-
visions, particularly beef, were scarce and dear in that capital.
The Government issued two decrees, dated Monte Video,
19th inst.

Ist. The property of every individual now in the hands of
the anarchists shall be sequestered in all the territory of the
Republic.

2d. The property referred to shall be disposed of by the
State.

Another decree, dated the 23d Sept., states that every vessel
which may anchor in the port, whether merchant or of war,
is prohibited from comunicating with the shore or with other
vessels in the bay until• she receives a health visit. Passen-
gers are also prohibited from disembarking at any other place
but the mole of this capital.
Admiral Brown, having permission of the Government of
Buenos Ayres to enter into the service of that of the Oriental
Ropublic, was employed at Monte Video, in fitting out three
vessels to act against those of the rebellious. The French
Admiral Leblanc has given notice to the Government of
Monte Video, that he shall not suffer the vessels of Admiral
Brown to sail from that port.
We have received a Price Current from Rio Janeiro, to the
27th October:—Coffee prices are not materially altered, and
have kept pretty steady, notwithstanding the rise in the Ex-
change, and the very considerable arrivals from the country.
The sales during the week amounted, to 17,000 bags, includ-
ing 4,000 sold to-day. The Exchange is a shade
lower; some business has been done at 281. and 28i ; 60 days'
bills remaining at the latter rate.
Stocks continue to rise about 50 contos have been sold at
79 ; the sales yesterday amounted to more than 400 centos.
It seems now to be wi•hout doubt that a large amount is going
to England. The remainder of the credit of 1837, and the
total of that of 1838, amounting to more than 7,000 bonds,
have been bought at 70 by the house of Samuel Phillips
and Co.
