TUE FORESTS.—The Duke of Leeds and party
have shot seventy-five head of deer in Mar Forest. Lord
Henry Bentinck has killed thirty-eight at Inchrory.
The latter, with kindlier feelings than his ducal neigh-
bour, allows large numbers of sheep to be reared in the
forest of Glenavon, of which he is lessee—and hence the
paucity of the deer killed by himself and party in com-
parison with the large number slaughtered by his Grace
of Leeds.—lnverness Courier.
M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS AGAIN. —We find the
following in the Clangor Publico of Madrid:—" Our cor-
respondent at Grenada writes thus, on October 31st:—
The celebrated writer of novels, Dumas, with his son,
is arrived in this city, having come to visit its historical
monuments. We did not wish to speak of this distin-
guished man of letters in other than terms of admiration
and respect; but we have unfortunately to relate a
scandalous act, in which he and his son have played a
prominent part. They went together to the residence
of a French artist, who takes portraits in Daguerreo-
type. They were looking at a dance of gipsies on the
terrace in front, and were very much amused, when sud-
denly a stone, thrown by SR unseen hand, struck the
young Dumas on the forehead and slightly bruised it.
Alarmed ill! irritated by this occurrence, all
the French who were in the house rushed
into the street to endeavour to :learn whence
the stone came. It appears that ono of the
gipsies pointed out the house of the architect, Jose
Contreras, directly opposite. 'Without giving themselves
time to verify the fact, without going to the competent
authority, the Frenchmen rushed into the house, made
their way into the apartments of the architect, and,
e ,
inning One if .1.%!! !ions quietly occupied in drawing, they
beat him severely, and even threatfmed to kill him with
the weapons which they carried. In the midst ‘`.:f the
noise and confusion, the mother and sister of the young
man interposed to save him from further injury. These
ladies the Frenchmen also struck and threw to the
ground, and were about to further ill-treat them, when a
police-officer came in with a troop, and put an end to this
scandalous scene, or rather committed still greater out-
rage against propriety, if that were possible. The worthy
' officer, without any formal inquiry, suffered the French-
men to go unpunished, because, as he stated, he had no
iorisdietion over them, and carried his arbitrary conduct
vo iar as „ot niPu:e a hi. of I.oOG vials on the house.
This wits bet•ause Dumas bal:f ho came into Spain as an
,iit4cLi of th lerench (taba3sv. The resutt is, that the
>or rAs hb.s laid a c,ani,laint before the
Captain-General, who is the only judge in the case of
foreigners, in order that he may receive legal protec-
tion.''
