SCOTCH REBR FOitESTS.

The reports from the deer forests are even more
favourable than the accounts we are atle to supply
as to the moors. Last winter was no mean severe,
and, the breeding season being excellent, ti.e herds
have thriven extremely well. As one correspon-
dent observed, " there never was a better sward of
grass among the mountains at such an early period
of the year. The deer, therefore, must soon he as
b
fat as pigs." In ihe Duke of Richmond's forests
of Glenfiddich and Biackwater, says a correspon-
" the deer were never more promisine, fl. a
good season. They are showing fine heads and
cleaning off the old hair very fa-t. The gras4 is
very good, and if the fine weather continue they
should be in excellent condition by the middle of
August. The early fawns look strong." Another
correspondent, writing of the same forest, says,
"Tire young fawns are so thriving and so fir forward
that they are running in frifint of the herds—Jeading
the van.". A correspondent, writing of the Mortlach
shootings, says, 66 Tile plantations in that district
appear pre ty well stocked with roe deer." A S trath-
avon con esponde,t-ar4"TheGlenavon forest, which
lies between, Tomiutoul and the Cairngorm range
this year abounds with deer. It is, in fact, covered
with boll stags and hinds, wit's few if any barren
hinds to be seen. The stags are fast getting into
good condition, and beginning to take to the high
grAinds. I have no doubt but by the time Lord
H. Bentinck visits his shooting qu4rters he will
find his forest all that he could wish." A cones-
ponder.t, writing frost Duthil, with reference to the
shootings occupied by the sportsmen who re-
side at Carrbridge, says " They have a
large park of the forest enclosed, where there
are a great number of roe deer in first-rate con-
dition, and some rod cher have found their way
into it. We expect there will soon be a stock of
both in the park. Present prospects promise good
sport. Equally grat.fying accounts reach us from
Ross-shire. A gentleman having frequent oppor-
tunities of learning the state of the leading forests
west of Inverness towards Strathglass and Glen-
Urquhart, says, 6‘ The deer are in exc. llent condi-
tion. Sportsmen
may venture a shot in August this
year, instead of as usual waiting until the 15th
Sept."—Banffshire Journal.

We are authorised to state that, though the subject
of the importation of free blacks into the West Indies
was mentioned in the course of the conversation between
Lord Palmerston and a deputation of the %Vest India
body introduced by Lor.l Shaftesbury, the noble earl
is decidedly opposed to such an experiment, regarding it
as perilous in the extreme.—Morning Paper.
EXTRAOADINARY SUICIDE OF A YOllTH.—Yesterday
the family of a gentleman, named Marshall, residing at
151, Slane-street, Chelsea, were plunged into a state of
deep affliction in consequence of one of the sons, a fine in-
telligentyouth, between 15 and 16 years of age, committing
suicide by throwing himself off the Kensington-gardens
bridge into the Serpentine river. From the best infor-
mation that can be at present collected respecting the
the distressing affair, it appears that between nine and
ten o'clock on Wednesday evening, a young gentleman
was noticed to ascend the parapet of the bridge in ques-
tion and precipitate himself into the water ; an instant
alarm was given, when the boats of the Royal Humane
Society put off from the north shore, and threw the
drags into the river near the ecot where the unfortunate
yorith bad disappeared. It was more than halt an hour
before the body was disc,,vered, when it was taker
to the Receiving.bouse, and Dr. Christian, the medical
attendant of the sociely, endeavoured by every possible
means to resuscitate the body, bfl,; witnout success. No
cause, as yet
can be assigned for the youth committing
the rash act.
