The Loss of Mr. Cameron's Blood Stock.

(From Wilkes's Spiri: of the Times.)
The loss of so many of the valuable thorough-bred horses
purchased by Mr. Cameron at a great expense in England,
and shipped for this country by the Helvetia, is very much
to be deploied. The brood mates were calculated to add
immensely to the productive capacities of our breeding
studs, end there were several horses in traiairg of good
reputation, with young ones of high breeding, good looks,
and great promise. There were 39 shipped in good order
and health at Liverpool. The five following—Bitague, bay
gelding, by Nowniinster out of The Jewess, 4 yrs ; a bay
or brown colt foal by Oulston out of Volucris ; a brown
filly foal by Old Calabar out of Juniper; a bay filly foal
by Macaroni out of Elfrida; a bay filly foal by Old Cala-
bar out of Veronica—are the only survivors. Mr. James
Weatherby went down from London to see them all right
on board, so as to give certificates under the warrant of the
England " Stud Book." The horses were placed in the
between-deck, and every possible precaution was taken for
their safety. It was found, however, that some of the rails
to which the slinging apparatus was attached worked out
of the mortices'in the posts. The baLtensnailed to the deck
to give them foothold_ when the vessel rolled also became
loose. These battens were long strips t unning fo: e and aft,
and it is believed that short battens for each ho se would
have been better. But the cause of the deaths o the horses
was the terrible rolling of the ship for ton consecutive
days, which wore them completely out, so that they died of
exhaustion. It was Mr. Cameron's intention to have had
them shipped much earlier in the season. In June he sent
over William Hays, a very capable and painstaking man, to
come out with them as superintendent. Last year Hays
brought out for Mr. Caine-on Warminster, four brood mares,
Hampton Court, Maid of Honour, aad a riding-horse.
They all landed here well, after a voyage of nearly two
months; but it was much earlier in the year, and in a sail-
ing vessel. The screw steamers roll and wallop about
so much in a sea-way that the horses are soon en-

ti-ely upset, and, if bad weather should continue, their
distress increases hourly, and their danger becomes great.
The p:incipal reason why the shipping of the stock was so
long deferred was the difficulty of obtaining suitable ac-
commodation. When the cholera was prev: fling, more or
less, no room could be had. In regard to the brood mares,
the delanwas parlicu-arly unfortunate,for they were getting
far gone with foal, and 23 of them slipped foals before they
died. The loss of some of these mares is peculiarly unfor-
tunate. They were a fine-looking lot, selected with great
care and good judgment.

We have had an interview with Win. Hays, and hoard
wi,h sorrowful interest his account of the unfortunate
voyage. They sailed on Thursday from Liverpool, and had
pleasant weather that day and night. Having been pro-
vided with every thing that experience suggested and money
could purchase for the comfort of the horses, their hope of
a prosperous voyage ran high. They naturally expected
some loss and damage, but not much. On the second day
when they were below Holyhead, it came on to blow, and
the sea began to run high as it rolled on up the Channel.
We have had some experience of the cross-seas about
Tuskar Light, and know what they are. The ship rolled
ter. ibly, and the horses were much distressed. They would
not eat, and from that time took no nourishment but a little
gruel fed With a spoon, and such like. The weather got
worse as they breasted the big seas, rolling into the chops
of the Channel from the westward, and on Sunday White
Rose of York slipped her foal and died of exhaestion,
bathed in sweat as though a bucket of water had been
poured over her. They were all suffering much that
night, and at 1 en the morning of Monday Antipodes, the
colt by Young Melbourne, died. Peeress had been very
bad ;.om the firs:. She was a great favourite withal], and
the lads knew that she was highly pr:zed by Mr. Cameron,
who had been offered 2,000 guineas for her and refused it
A lad was at her head al the time, and Hays exerted all
his efforts to relieve her. But it was in vain,'
and at 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon she died.,
Then the deaths followed in quick succession. It blew a
gale. The ship laboured azia rolled and shippad sttch seas
that tons of watercame down iutothe between eecks where
the horses wars. The mares all died before the land was
made. The yearling colt by Marionette out of Bapta out-
lasted all the brood mares, but he died before the storm was
spent. He was a very fine yearling, Hays says, and for a
long time they had hopes that they should save him. The
last that died was the flowerof the flock—the yearling colt
by St. Albans out of Jerusalem. He stood it so long that
their hopes were e-nouraged about him, and, though he
plainly got weaker, they believed ashe neared the land that
he would pull through. His pluck was uncommon, and
be fought with such savage determination against the
slings that they couldnot keep him in them. His endurance
was also immense, but the trial was too much. He would
not be slung, but stood up till the last, and when the ship
arrived off Sandy Hook, and the haven was al
Host reached
he broke out into the fatal sweat, and dropping, died as he
fell. Poor fellow! He had all the points as well as the
breeding of a first-class racehorse, and his death, right
under the land, was the greatest blow of all to Hays and
the lads under him. The captain and crew of the Helvelia
did all in their power to render assistance to Hays and the
lads, brit it was all of no avail. This great misfortune and
sore loss must bo a warning to futuie shippers, to put their
stockinto a good, stout sailing vessel,
which,' being deep
in the hull and carving no top-hamper but her
spars, will
not roll so excessively. Moreover, the shipment should be
so timed that the vessel may be looked for here between
July 1 and September 10. We esteemed it a great misfor-
tune when Cockahoop was lost in coming to this country,
but that was a mere nothing to what we have now to de-
plore. The loss of Juniper, a Bay Middleton mare out of
The Fawn, inbred to Waxy, Walton. and Williamson's
Ditto, can hardly be replaced; that of Peeress, who was
the last of the Mainbrace family, is also very grave ; and
in that of the yearling colts, whose pluck and endurance
was manifest to their last gasp, we have messed the exhi-
bition of much racing quality.

ACCIDENT AT THE EXHIBITION BUILDING, PARIS.

At the masked ball at the Salle Valentino, on
Saturday, A. student, in an advanced state of intoxication,
mounted the top of the balustrade, which runs round the
room, and gesticulated as if he was making a speech.
Suddenly he fell to the floor, fracturing his skull in such a
manner as to leave no hopes of his recovery.
Three disasters at sea have occurred off Cher-
bourg. The schooner Louise Victorine, of Croisic, has
gone ashore at Carteret, and will become a total wreck.
A three-masted ship, name and country unknown, has
been seen floating keel upwards in the Deroute ; a boat
containing nine men, supposed to be smugglers, has been
lost with all hands under the Dielette rocks.
DESTRUCTION OF POULTRY BY FOXES IN SURREY.
—During the last two years there has been an extended
preservttion of foxes in this country, and many covens
and brakes are overstocked. But since the fall of snow
the rabbits, which form an essential meal to foxes, have
gone to ground, and Roynard has been driven by hunger
to the farm-yards in search of food, and around Crawley,
Grinstead, and llorley foxes have made great havoc aulevg
the sweet and ducks.
