TIIE ROYAL llllNT.—Friday morning his Majesty's Stag
Hounds met at Gerrard's Cross, near Beaconsfield, and soon
after eleven o'clock an extraordinary fleet deer was uncarted
for the morning's diversion, which went off at full speed
in the direction of Wexham. After an elapse of about ten
minutes the hounds were led on, and experienced one of the
sharpest runs ever known to the oldest sportsman, which lasted
one hour and twenty-five minutes, when the deer - was caught
at Wycombe. This sa.: deer was turned out about six weeks
since, when Mr. Freeman, one of the whipper-in's, killed his
horse by hard riding. The field was most numerously attended,
there being upwards of two hundred horsemen present, princi-
pally dressed in scarlet, which gave it a most lively appear-
ance. Lord Maryborough, after the hunt, returned to his seat,.
Fern Hill. His Lordship has lately been on a visit to Lord
Clarendon.
The Hambledon Hounds met on Friday last at Botley
Grange, Hants, and after drawing the covers there, and at
Shamblehurst, unkenneled a fox at Burnett's Lane
,Coppice.—
He took them back through the Shamblehurst coven-, nearly
to Botley, when he was headed, and went round to Berry wood,
where he was killed, after about three-quarters of an hour.—
Another fox was on foot; and whilst the hounds were killing
the first, a halloo ! called them on to the second,:towards Bot-
ley Grange. They went away at full speed from thence to-
ward Thornhill Plantations and West End Telegraphe, from
thence be turned about, and went off to Dirley Church, and
on towards Winter's Hill. He was there headed, and went
back to Mareshill, on to Harwell Park Farm, skirted the
lower corner of Stroud Wood, and went on through
Greenwood Coppice to DUrley: The scent had laid hut
very indifferently, and coming to a long . check, here
most of the numerous coming
of sportsmen returned, after
about four • hours steady pursuit. The huntsman's parse.
verance, however, was not to be baffled here ; he continued on
through .Durley, towards Snakemoor, with a few real sports-
men, and soon started reynard a view from a very small cop.
pice. He went off with his wind recovered at a good rate.
through Snakemoor, across the Botley and Winchester turn:
pike road, through Shamblehurst, up to the back of Botley
Grange House, where he was run into, very near to the spot
where the hounds were first laid on the scent. This chase lasted
from twelve o'clock at noon till between five and six in the
evening, and the last four or five miles were galloped almost
entirely in the dark. Many of the hightlyers were earthed ;
and of the numerous field that started, only three gentlemen
were in at the death, viz.—T. Smith, Esq.; Hill, Esq.;
and Mr. Twynam." The time occupied was at least five hours,
and the distance from point to point might be computed at be-
tween 25 and 30 miles.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT..—On Sunday last a sin-1
gular and fatal accident happened in Pendleton. A man named
Airm. Lord, a blacksmith, was eating a beef-steak, when a piece
stuck in his throat, and he was suffocated in a few minutes,
notwithstanding all. the efforts of the persons about to relieve
him.
FATAL PUGILISM.—Two men, named Stone
and Parker, fought a pitched battle yesterday
in a field near the Hampstead-road, for a 'stake
of two sovereigns. The battle was desperate,
and the former is said to have died of his wounds.
