,The magnificent stud of the late Marquis of Ailsa was
brought to the hammer at Messrs. Tattersall's Repository,
on Thursday. There was a good attendance, and the
bidding was very spirited. Altogether 22 hunters, well
known with the Earl of Eglinton's hounds, and other valu-
able horses, were disposed of for a total of £2,215 guineas.
Mr. Robertson was the largest buyer, and purchased to the
amount of 800 guineas.

The other night over thirty sheep and some
lambs, the property of Thomas Sandes, Esq., D.L.
who resides near Tarbert, were worried in a frightful
manner by dogs.

The Prince and the Princess Henry of Holland
three days back visited the persons wounded by the catas-
trophe at Dommeidange, and who are in a kind of tempo-
rary hdapital arranged for their service.
