THE MOORS.

DEER STALKING AND GROUSE SHOOTING.—At Inver-
cassley, Ross-shire, Mr. Robertson and the Messrs.
Christie have bagged 700 head. During a few days'
tour in the Island of Lewis, Major Houston and Mr.
Denys bagged 210 brace of grouse. In the Corries of
Dundreggan, Sir H. Meux, Bart., stalked and shot 2
stags. At Lochlaggan, the Marquis of Abercorn, cap-
tured 3 stags. From the forest of Fasnakyle, Lord
Bateman took 2 deer, killing them right and left at once.
In the forest of Glen Strathfarar, Lord Lovat, the
Master of Lovat, the Hon. A. Fraser, and Captain
Mostyn, have had excellent sport among the red deer-
-12 large stags, one of them with fourteen antlers, were
stalked—and on the,moor, in one day, Captain Mostyn
bagged 54 brace of grouse ; the following day, 43 brace
and 2 hares.

SPORT.—On the 21st ult. Mr. Montague and two
friends, at Blaich of Ardgower, went out for deer, and
each had the good fortune to kill a stag—one head had
thirteen points, and the other two eleven.
Partridge shooting commenced on Tuesday, and from
the comparatively cleared state of the low grounds, the
sport was there followed without intermission. The
birds are represented to be rather plenty than otherwise,
and strong on the wing. Hares are fully as plentiful
as usual. Eight days hence the fields in the higher
districts are likely to be cleared of the grain crops.—

THE NESS.-At no time of the angling season has the
rod-fisher enjoyed better sport than during the last
fortnight—every pool has its numerous salmon, all keen
to seize the winged barb.

DEATH of the MARQUIS of AILSA
We have to announce the demise of the Marquis o
Ailsa, who, after an illness of several months, expired
on Tuesday last, at St. Margaret's, his Lordship's seat
at Isleworth. We learn that, although the Noble Mar-
quis had gradually declined in health for the last
three years, he, up to the close of July, remained in
much the same state, so as not to cause any immediate
alarm to his family. Since then his Lordship has
rapidly sunk, and his approaching dissolution became
apparent, and in consequence of anticipated danger, an
express was dispatched to the Earl of Cassillis, who is
abroad, to inform him of the alarming illness of his
grandfather.
The deceased, Archibald Kennedy, Marquis of Ailsa
of the Isle of Ailsa, county Ayr, and Baron Ailsa of
Ailsa, in the peerage of the United Kingdom ; Earl of
Cassillis and Baron Kennedy, in the peerage of Scot-
land ; and a baronet of Nova Scotia, was eldest son of
Archibald, 11th Earl of Cassillis, by his second mar-
riage with Anne, daughter of Mr. John Watts. He
was born in 1770, and on the Ist of June, 1793, he
married Margaret, youngest daughter of Mr. John
Erskine, In December, 1704, he succeeded, on the
death of his father, to the ancient Scottish honours of
the family.
He is succeeded in the family honours, and extensive
estates in Ayrshire, Berwickshire, Forfarshire, &e., by
his grandson Archibald, Earl of Cassillis (now, of course
Marquis), eldest son of the late Earl of Cassilis, son of
the deceased Marquis, and Eleanor, only child of Mr.
Alexander Allardice, who only survived the death of her
husband three months. The present Marquis was for-
merly in the 17th Light Dragoons, but retired from the
army in 1842.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH.—Wednesday afternoon, an in-
quest was held before Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hos-
pital, on the body of William Ellis, aged 39, a shepherd
in the service of C. Lynn Stephens, Esq., of Grove
Farm, Roehampton, Surrey. It appeared from the evi-
dence, that about seven o'clock on Monday last, the de-
ceased, in the absence of the cowman, had driven a fine
bull into his stall, but had neglected to take the very
necessary precaution of fastening the animal's head to
the manger before tying him up ; and whilst he was
stooping to fasten a collar round the beast's neck, it sud-
denly turned and gored him about the body in a fright-
ful manner, and at last it was only by using extreme
violence that the animal was made to relinquish its at-
tack. The deceased was at length extricated in a
dying state, and, by the advice of a neighbouring sur-
geon, he was conveyed to the above hospital, where he
-uired from the injuries three hours after his admis-
'', 'iavir, sustained a fracture of the cervical vertebra,
lion, nf the sternum, and numerous other internal
fracture .-diet—" Accidental death."
