NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Lizard steam-vessel,
Lieutenant-Commander Ty!den, having completed her
alterations, left, yesterday morning, with dispatches for
Admiral Inglefield in the River Plate. Soon after she
had left the harbour signals were made from the St. Vin-
cent and Victory to recal her, but the weather was too
thick to enable her to see them, at least we may surmise
so, as she did not return, although four guns were fired
to call her attention—two in the harbour, and two from
the Superb at Spithead.

THE MOORS—CLOSING OF THE
SEASON.
(From tho Ross-shire Advertiser.)
The shooting season for grouse, ptarmigan, and
black game, ended on the 10th instant, and the moun-
tain solitudes are now left to repose under the snows of
winter. The bygone season has proved a very bois-
terous one throughout to the sportsman ; hence, more
than the usual stock of game remains for another year.
On the Glengarry moors, C. P. Leslie, Esq., M.P.,
Lord Huntingfield, Lord E. Hill, and the 'lon. P.
Talbot, bagged 1,724 brace of grouse, black game, and

and Mr. Beresford, shot 400 braco of grouse, and 6

form. They were in length 34 inches, span inside of
the bow 30i inches, space from tip to tip of top ant-
lers 35 inches, 4 brow antlers 10 inches in length
each, forming a semicircle in front of the head. Colonel

Gore, Bart., had excellent sport on the moors; and from
the deer forest he shot 15 stags and 11 roe deer; one
stag was the largest seen in. that part of the country—.
his weight was upwards of 26 stone, and the tops of his
horns were broken off, either from combating an adver-
sary, or falling down a precipice ; the feet were uncom-
monly large, and part of the skin was of a deep brown
