DEER STALKING.

The first week of October generally ends the regular
sport of the deer-stalker. A few of the oldest stags will
yet be selected, while they roam through the forest, bel-
lowing and shouting defiance to the younger stags of
the herds. The following notes from the conies are
mostly the returns of the last fortnight :—At Torridon,
W. 0. Jackson, Esq., stalked four red deer, killing two
of the number, both stags, with right and left shots.
At Dundreggan, R. Anthill, Esq., ended his sport for
the season, with two of the longest range shots we have
heard of—killing a stag, with royal and cupped horns,
with his first ball, 267 yards distant, and, with the
second ball, a hind, 284 yards from the rifle. In his
forest, at Rhidorrach, J. H. Mackenzie, Esq., shot three
fine stags, one of them with thirteen antlers. Mr. M.
has this season killed thirteen stags, the smallest weigh-
ing 17 stone, and the largest 22 stone. From the same
forest, J. G. Craig, Esq., took a splendid stag, with
royal horns, beautifully shaped. FP'om Corriemony, a
beautiful head, with horns thickly studded with projec-
tions, was sent for preservation, and was shot by N. E.
Vaughan, Esq. At LochalA, E. Buxton, Esq., got a
stag and hind ; and at Dundonnel, Captain W. Boyd
shot two stags and two hinds. Sir St. George Gore,
Bart., stalked and shot five stags last week at Strath-
vaich—three of them in one day. We hear that the
Marquis of Abercorn, has had excellent sport this sea-
son in the forest, having killed some very fine stags, all
in capital condition. Cluny Macpherson shot one of the
largest stags that has been seen this year on his Aberar-
der grounds, weighing, as he fell, 24 stones and 3 lbs.
At Conon, Capt. B. Knight made an excellent double-
shot at roe, killing a buck and doe right and left,
without taking the gun from his shoulder.—lnverness
Courier.

The railways in course of construction in Ireland
afford employment to 40,000 labourers, to whom 26,0001
are paid weekly in wages. A loan from the Govern-
ment to those railway companies that have got Acts of
Parliament would double the above return in men and
labour.—Limerick Chronicle.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPCY, October 9.
(Before Mr. CommissioneSHEPHEß.D.)
IN RE J. W. Ells.

This bankrupt, a woollen warehiseman in Cheapside,
applied for his certificate. His d(ta and liabilities are
about 8,0001., and assets " none."
Messrs. Jaques and Edwards tare for the assignees,
and Mr. Vansandau for Messrs. wane and Webb, to
op pose. . _

The ground of opposition was cntracting debts with-
out reasonable means of paymen The bankrupt dis-
solved partnership with his broth( in 1845, and he then
continued in business with a defifency of 9001. There
was no capital, but the Commercil Bank of Leeds con-
sented to advance 1,0001., and the knkrupt's brother gave
them security. The bank hel( several bills to the
amount of about 1,9001., besides S very heavy debt, and
about six months before the bauruptcy, the bank ob-
tained a warrant of attorney. Tith the knowledge of
this the bankrupt got goods to fe extent of 1,5001., all
of which are still unpaid for. he warehouse is now
full, and the bank came in undeitheir warrant of attor-
ney, and seized property to the %tent of 1,4001.
It was now contended that the bankrupt had got
these goods for the purpose of giving the bank a pre-
ference over the other creditors to release the brother's
security, and that he had grosly misconducted himself
as a holder.

Upon the part of the bsnktupt, it was stated that the
profits were 1,0001. a year, wbile the expenses were only
3501., and that the cause cf this bankruptcy was the re-
turn of bills, and certain creditors agreeing to sell upon
credit, then claiming reads money.
His Horroue, said that under the circumstances he
must suspend tho certificate for six months, with pro-
tection.
