PRESENT OF BLOOD HOUNDS FROM THE PRINCE
CONSORT TO THE REIGNING DUKE ON SAXE COBURG
AND GOTILA..-At the sale of the Hon. Mr. Bagot's cele-
brated pack of Blithfield blood hounds, which took place
at Derby, last week, five were purchesed for Prince Al-
bert, by an agent of his Royal Highness, viz., Countess,
for 11 guineas ; Forester, 15 guineas ; Needwood, 6
guineas ; Rummager, 22 guineas , and Vengeance, 9
guineas. Two of these hounds were presented by Prince
Albert to his brother, the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg
and Gotha, who took them with him in the Black Eagle
to Ostend, on Tue day last.
`We are authorised to state that the statement
which appeared in our paper, that two cows had been
run over near the Andover-road station, on the South-
Western Railway, is without the slightest foundation.
A post-office is about to be established at the
Stocksfield station, on the Newcastle and Carlisle
Railway.
