Address to Dr. Newman.

Dr. Newman's contemplated mission to Oxford
having given rise to some criticisms upon him in the
Weekly Register, to the effect that he had forfeited
the high place he once held in the Roman Catholic
world, owing to a sermon be recently delivered on
the temporal power of the Pope, and to some hete-
rodox passages in the. Apologia, a number of Roman
Catholics assembled at the Stafford Club on Tues-
last and showed their attachment to him by signing
the following address, which was conveyed to him by
Mr. Monsell, M.P.
" To the Very Rev. John Henry Newman, D.D.
" We, the undersigned, have been deeply pained at some
anonymous attacks which have been made upon you. They
may be of little importance in themselves, but we feel that
any blow that touches you inflicts a wound upon the Ca-
tholic Church in this country. We hope, therefore, that
you will not think it presumptuous in us to express our
gratitude for all we owe you, and to assure you how heartily
we appreciate the services which, under God, you have
been the means of rendering to our holy religion."

Hunting the Wild Red Deer in Devon

and Somerset.

(From the Tiverton Gazette.)

Two private meets of the Devon and Somerset stag
bounds have taken place in the past week—the first
on Tuesday, the last on Friday—and both were attended
with brilliant success. Mr. Bissett, the worthy master of
the pack , is supposed personally to have an objection to
hind hunting in the spring, partly from the usually poor
condition of the deer, especially after a long and severe
winter, and because of the extreme difficulty of finding
" yelds," barren hinds. This spring, however, the temp-
tation for hind hunting has been very strong, owing to the
enormous increase of the wild door, which may readily be
imagined from the fact that a herd of no less than 37, be-
sides stragglers, has been seen under Cloutsham since Christ-
mas, and several other herds of from 12 to 17 have been re-
cently seen about Old Dunkerry and in the Dulverton covers,
still we believe the master has resolved not to hunt before
the stag hunting season arrives, which is immediately after
the " glorious twelfth," and he has only yielded on two
occasions to solicitations of a number of gentlemen for a
change of sport, amongst whom is the Earl of Portsmouth,
who is on a visit at Pixton Park, the seat of his brother-in-
law, the Earl of CarnarVon, to hunt foxed. The first meet
was on Tuesday, at Haddon, but unfortunately for that
prince of sportsmen—the Earl of Portsmouth—he was
unable to be present, owing to the prior engagement to
attend the Devon Quarter Sessions, at Exeter; still there
was a very good field, mostly consisting of sportsmen of
the right sort. The pack, in charge of Jack Babbage, the
veteran huntsman, and his clever whip, Arthur Heal, was
put up at the quarters of Jim Blackmore, the noted
harbourer, who said there were lots of deer in. the
covers. Three couple of tufters were then taken to
draw Haddon Wood, and there they found so many deer
that there was a good deal of time spent in running
about the covers before they could got a hind away.
At length a fine hind, supposed to be a barrener, broke
cover, and made away amidst the excitement of the
field for Buckley; and there the tufters were stopped by
Arthur Heal. The master, apparently not anxious to kill,
was not in much of a hurry to lay on. After a while he
sent Babbage for the pack, and laid on the hounds about
three-quarters of an hour after the deer had disappeared.
The hounds went away at a good pace to Morebath, turned
to the right to Ashtown, and made across the farm to Mr.
Gooding (a gallant old stag hunter), called Grant's farm,
Exbridge, thence to Wonham, the property of the lord of
the manor of Bampton, and pointed for Oakford. How-
ever, they turned to the right to Exe Water, crossing to
some covers (understood to be Haightley), then across a
farm and over the water ; thence away across East Tops
farm, and on to the Red Deer in Oakford parish. From
this point they crossed Tuckers Moor on to Knowstone ;
leaving Knowstone a little distance to the left they made
straight through the covers, and then on to Rose Ash
Moor, where the hounds were stopped, after a splendid run
of three, hours and 40 minutes. The Rev. W. Russell, one
of the oldest and most esteemed sportsmen and followers
of these hounds, pronounced his opinion that for the first
time in a season he had never found the pack work better.
Others also spoke in the highest terms of the splendid way
in which the hounds had worked that day, although they
did not gain a sight of the deer throughout the run, she
having got an hour's start of them. The meet on Friday
was at Marsh Bridge, and a good field assembled, includ-
ing the master and his right hand, Mr. Bellew, the Earl of
Portsmouth, the Rev. Wm. Russell, and many other good
and true sportsmen. The scent, unlike that of Tuesday,
which was not very good, owing to the high anddry wind,
was considered fair. Arthur, the whip, took three and a
half couple of tufters and drew Marsh Wood under North-
moor-house, the seat of J. Arthur Locke, Esq., then Dray-
ton-wood, and across the water to Durham, where they
found a largo stag and a young male deer. Arthur quickly
stopped the tufters, and took them back to draw the covers
the
for a hind, and soon no less than five doer, mostly hinds,

Flat. There the pack was laid on upon the two, and ran
them through Ashway Flat, and across the water to North
t o
were li
Barton Wood, where both deer jumped up in view of the
field, and dashed away through the wood, turning to the
left to the Exe, and then through the covers on the north
side of Hawkridge Ridge, and again turning to the left of
the water, which they crossed towards Mountsey Castle,
and made away through Marsh Wood. There the pack
divided, the largest number of hounds taking after the
young deer down the stream to a place where a few cot-
tages stand, called "New Invention," close to the water-
side; there he got out of the water to the right, pointing for
Northmoor House, near which the hounds fresh found or
ran up to him. He then returned to the water in view
closely pursued by the hounds, causing much excitement to
a few spectators. Arthur Heal here discovered that it was
the young male deer, and immediately tried to stop the
hounds ; but this was a work of some difficulty, as but few
of the field were present, the majority being with the other
part of the pack in pursuit of the hind. Fortunately Mr.
Locke, the squire of Northmoor, was on the Northmoor
' side of the water, and Mr. Bellew on the other, whose
strenuous exertions, with the aid of Mr. Hopper and a
stableman belonging to Mr. Locke, finally succeeded in
saving the deer. The stableman went into the water to
his waist, and there he stood bravely driving back the
hounds. Mr. Hopper also wont into the water, and greatly
assisted in the saving of the deer, which Mr. Locke staid
to watch till ho had seen him get fairly away into the
neighbouring cover. The whip then took the hounds to
join the smaller part-of the pack, consisting of four couples,

at Court Down, where they took after the hind, to lay
them on to the same. By the time he had got to the down,
Mr. Bisset, the master, had stopped the four couple, and
the full pack was laid on in the presence of the whole field,
which had by this time got together. The pack crossed to
Exe Cleave, and went down the Bark close under Baron's
Down, and crossed the water in front of the house, thence
across Saddle Back, on to Clamour and up Haddon Wood,
where they turned to the right to Burridge Wood, and kept
bearing to the right till they reached Bury Water ; after
they got out of the water they went up overßurridge Wood
to Whynne, or Wind, Corner, where a number of fresh
deer jumped up. As soon as other deer were "roused" the
pack was stopped. The object of the meet was not to kill,
or by laying on the pack at the proper time they could
have easily done that. The sport was remarkably good,
and the pack worked as on Tuesday, to the admiration of
all present.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, April 16.—There is no improve-
ment in the market, generally, and prices continue
to decline. In yarns for shipment the market has
been disappointing. In the early part of the day
spinners expected to be able to obtain full prices,
having been led to form such a conclusion from the
activity during Saturday and Monday in the Liver-
pool cotton market. Upon the receipt of telegrams
from Liverpool, however, this morning, any such
hopes were dispelled by the intelligence of a quieter
and weaker feeling there. Buyers for Calcutta and
China have operated to a fair extent. Other mar-
kets have been rather quieter than these. The
market for home-trade yarns has presented quite a
"contrast to the other, being both dull and depressed.
Prices have been in favour of buyers, and the busi-
ness effected has been a long way short of an aver-
age. The demand for all counts of home trade yarns
has been on a very restricted scale, and closes as
dull as it opened. In cloth there has been a down-
ward movement all the week past. Buyers have
been exceedingly cautious, and have limited their
operations as much as possible. There have been
buyers willing to enter the market at a very consi-
derable reduction on last week's quotations, but as
a rule they have not been able to place their orders
on such conditions. This morning there: was some
appearance of a revival in the tone of the market
in the first instance, but the hope was soon dissi-
pated, and in the course of the day things have re-
verted to the inactivity and depression previously
existing. The market closes without much business
having been effected, though sellers have made con-
siderable alterations in favour of buyers in their
quotations as compared with those of last Tuesday.
Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's
cloth market :—" We have had an important de-
cline both in price and amount of businesss since
last Tuesday ; the general mistrust among buyers
renders business almost impossible except at
a still further reductton. Though there is to-day
some slight improvement in the general tone of. our
market, it does not amount either to a rally in price
or an increase of business, and we close flatly with
materially altered quotations."
LEEDS, 16th.—There is no decided change in any
aspect of the woollen cloth trade, as indicated by
the public markets this morning. The same quiet
order of things seems to exist as we have had to point
out for some time past: The attendance of buyers
was moderate, and it included a few from Bradford,
Manchester, and other towns, as well as those repre-
senting the Leeds houses. There was, however,
only a small amount of goods cleared out of
the halls after the markets, and the selections
made were miscellaneous, including part heavy
as well as light goods, with a fair portion of
ordinary all-wool black cloths. The call for black
unions is but small at present, various shades in
mixtures having, as.a rule, the best chance of sell-
ing as coatings. There is no improvement as to
work by the manufacturers, and part short time
working is reported from mills in the town, as well
as those in the surrounding districts. Except as to
needy manufacturers, and what are called job lots,
prices keep steady. Wools and woollen yarns, too,
are about the same as last week.

ROCIIDALE, 15th.—There was a slight improve-
ment in the flannel trade to-day. There was not a
much larger attendance of buyers than last week,
but there was a better demand for goods, and the
feeling in the trade generally was more cheerful.
The chief sales were those of light goods, and a fair
bulk were bought. For Yorkshire goods there was
the same kind of quiet demand as we have had to
notice for the last few months. There is no great
demand for wools, but prices keep steady, as do also
those of goods.
