HER MAJESTY'S STAG liourins.—We are requested
to state that her Majesty's buckhounds will meet on Fri-
day next, at Salt-hill, at eleven o'clock.
A deputation from the North Devon Railway di-
rect from the Tiverton-road station to Ilfracombe, in the
Bristol Channel, had an interview with the Earl of Dal-
housie and the Railway Committee yesterday, at the
Board of Trade. This line goes through Tiverton,
South Molton, and Barnstaple. Tiverton was repre-
sented by Lord Palmerston, Mr. Heathcote, M.P., and
Mr. Tripp ; Barnstaple by Mr. Tamlyn, barrister, and
Mr. Lionel Bencraft, town-clerk ; South Molton by Mr.
13awden and Mr. Rickard. The deputation were very fa-
vourably received. This line comprehends the four towns
we hare mentioned, having a population of nearly 40,000
inhabitants, and several populous villages, and will be in
length from the Tiverton -road station to Barnstaple only
34 miles, and to Ilfracombe about 45 miles.
We have had occasion more than once of late to
refer to the indisposition of the. Hon. C. A. Murray,
Master of the Household, who has been for the last three
months suffering from the consequences of a severe acci-
dent, but is now nearly convalescent. Nevertheless, in
being doubtful whether the Hon. Gentleman could ven-
ture, without risk of retarding his Complete recovery, to
resume his present official functions, which require con-
stant activity, attendance, and exertion, we understand
that the Queen has, with her usual considerate kindness,
desired the Earl of Aberdeen to ascertain whether Mr.
Murray would prefer the less arduous duties of diplo-
matic employment, and, in the event of that Minister's
receiving an affirmative reply, to offer him an appoint-
ment on the occurrence of the first eligible vacancy. The
Gazette may probably bear witness ere long to the cor-
rectness of our intelligence.—Times.
SHOCKING CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.--The Animals'
Friend Society, of No. 18, Strand, last week charged
James King, a costermonger, at Union-hall, with having
tied an ass to the shafts of a cart, which he drove too
fast for the poor animal to keep up with, and the wheel,
in consequence, run over its legs, and lamed it, so that
it went on three legs, while the fellow was beating it
cruelly. Mr. Traill fined him 10s., but not paying it he
was committed for fourteen days: as was also W. Dark,
a dust collector, for having gallopped on an ass for a
long distance, and violently beaten the ass all the time.
It also caused William Baker to be fined ss. at Bow-
street, by Mr. Twyford, for having worked and cruelly
whipped a horse which had a very bad wound under
the saddle, four inches by three. The Society has been
requested, by its foreign Hon. Secretary, to caution per.
sons who may travel in Germany, not to trust their dogs
to the hotel keepers, who, it appstars, often poison them,
and report that they have died in fits.
DOVER, DEC. 17.—Their Royal Highnesses the
Duke and Duchess of Saxo Coburg and Gotha, with
their suite, arrived here this afternoon, about four
o'clock, by special train, and immediately embarked in
the Black Eagle steamer, under a royal salate from
the Western heights. The Black Eagle left the harbour
shortly after for Calais.
THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE DOVER RAILWAY.—
On Sunday afternoon the remains of the unf.irtunate
men, Robert Buckley and Aaron Wilkinson, who were
killed by the explosion of an engine on the Bricklayers'
Arms branch of the above railway, on Tuesday night
last, were interred in the burial-ground attached to the
New Church, Deptford. A vast number of people assem-
bled -tt New-cross, where they lately resided, to witness
the funeral, the expenses of which were defrayed by the
Railway Company. Both men were single, and Buckley
was on the point of marriage when the melancholy acci-
dent occurred.
