Dr. Newman's contemilat a mis Ann 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 he recen'ly delivered on
the temporal power of the Pope, and to slim 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.

you wilt 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."

Hunnag the Wild Red Deer in Devon

and Somerset.

(From the Tiverton Gazette.)

Two private meets of the Devon and Somerset stag
hounds, have Jrnken 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, eqmeia*...after long and severe
winter, and because of 'tlfe. 'extreme difficulty of finding,
" yolds," barren hinds.. This spring, however, the temp-
tation for hind hunting has been very strong, owing to the
enormous increase of the wild deer, 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 1; to 17 have been re-
cently seen about Old Dunkerry and in the Dullorton 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 Parkrthe seat of his brother-in-
law, the Earl of Carnarvon, to hunt foxes. 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 bo 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 bo 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 Wore 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 ter.ns 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. Bellow, the Earl of
Portsnaouth, the Rev. Win. 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 large stag and a young male deer. Arthur quickly
stopped the tufters, and took them back to draw the covers
Or a hind, and soon no less than five door, mostly hinds,
were found. Two of them, a hind and a young male
deer went across to Hawkbridge Ridge, closely followed by
tho tufters, which were stopped by the master in Ashway
Flat. There the pack was laid on upon the two, and ran
them through Ashway Flat, and across the water to North
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 "Nbw Invention," close to the water-
side; there lie 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. Hepper also went into the water, and greatly
assisted in the saving of the deer, which Mr. Locke staid
to watch till he had seen him get fairly away into the
neighbouring cover. The whip then took the hounds to
join tho smaller part of the pack, consisting of four couples,
