To-day we learn that his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, and several of the gentlemen of his suite, eager
to enjoy the splendid sport of deer-stalking, were
stirring betimes, and enjoyed splendid sport in the
deep ravines of the Tilt. Two fine red deer were
killed by the royal party. There were various games
performed ; and her Majesty visited several of the
most magnificent scenes in the neighbourhood, and
seemed extremely gratified with the gloomy grandeur
everywhere presented, so different to the changing
glitter and artificial pleasures of the Court.--Aberdeen

WEST INDIA MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 15.
The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship
Tay, Captain Hayden, arrived here at 1 P.m.
The Tay left Havannah on the Bth, Nassau 10th,
Bermuda 20th, and Fayal 31st August.
The Tay met the Severn at Havannah on the Bth
inst., proceeding to the Gulf of Mexico, and the
Clyde at Bermuda, with dates from Jamaica to the
Bth August, and Carthagena to the 2d September.
The Tay having met with an accident, being
obliged to go into Fayal, met there her Majesty's
surveying steamer Styx, to which ship the mails
were transferred, and both ships came home in
company, and landed the mails at Plymouth yester-
day, at 11 A.M.
The Tay brings twelve passengers, and left twenty-
one passengers at Fayal to come home in the Tweed,
which ship will be due here on the 21st inst.
The Tay brings 80,000 dolls, in freight.
The West India papers received by the Tay bring
little news. They are almost entirely occupied by
reports of the debates in Parliament upon the Sugar
Duties Bill, which they still seem generally inclined
to regard as ruinous to the West India interests.
With respect to the accident which had obliged the
Tay to leave several of her passengers at Fayal, we
have been favoured with the following statement by a
passenger in that vessel :

" The report of the unhappy disaster which befel
the Royal Mail Company's steam-packet Tay en the
coast of Havannah on the Bth of July last, and her
subsequent arrival in England considerably after her
time, having on board only a few of the passengers
who embarked in the West Indies, would naturally
occasion much alarm and distress to those expecting
the arrival of relations and friends ; you will, there-
fore, I am sure, be glad to give publicity through your
journal to the following statement, as regards the pas-
sengers, which I feel it a duty to offer to the public, in
order to obviate the alarm which, I am happy tostate,
circumstances of a most fortunate nature have ren-
deredgroundless

"The Tay left Bermuda on the 20th of August,
with the following passengers bound to England, and
was compelled to put into the port of Fayal on the
31st of August, when the passengers and mails were
landed.

" She again, after undergoing certain repairs, took
her departure for England, in company with her
Majesty's steam-vessel Styx, to the care and atten-
tion bestowed by the captain and officers of which
vessel may in a great measure be attributed her pre-
sent safety.
" The greater number of the passengers not being
disposed to trust themselves again on board the Tay
in her then condition, remained at Fayal, in order to
proceed to their destination by 'the following mail-
packet, Tweed, expected there on the 12th inst. The
following are the names of the persons so remaining ;
and annexed is a list of those who proceeded in the
Tay, and who arrived at Plymouth in safety under
the convoy of her Majesty's surveying-vessel Sty;
on the 14th of September, and the Tay proceeded on
to Southampton with the Styx :
