ROYAL STAG HUNT.

..„ _
Friday last the Hunt had an almost unprecedented run,
both for severity and duration. A capital day was antici-
pated, from its being known that the stag was a tried good
performer. Ile Was uncarted at Now Lodge, Winkfield;
and after the usual law the hounds were laid on, and pre-
s:,ntlwook the scent. The cry was shrill and melodious,
tad the pace soon selected the horses ; front the beginning
'here was no chance for the " skirters." The stag folly
maintained his former reputation. / His first step was
towards St. Leonard's, right through the woods, returning
by the Squirrel at Winkfield ; then back again down the
road nearly to the Stag and. Hounds at Spittal ; right away
through Windsor Great Park making towards the Lodge,
through his Majesty'. gardens, •n to Virginia Water,
thence to Shrub's Hill, St. Anne's Hill, and Ottershaw
Park. Up to this period the stag had kept on at such a
rattling pace as to distance all who had not made up their
minds to a hard day's work, and got nags that could do it.
After doubling about for some time longer, he was finally
captured in Lord King's Park, at Ripley, after a tremen-
dous run of three hours and a half. Out of upwards of one
hundred gentlemen, not more than eight or ten were in at
the taking ;. among them, as usual, was Lord Mary borough.
It was acknowledged to be an unparalleled hard day fur
both horses and hounds. Several horses were killed, and
showed "symptoms" of hard work.—Berhs 'Chronicle.

THE ADELPIII.—This pleasant little theatre
closed on Saturday night with a speech from Mr.-YATEs.

A case of forgery, associated with frauds of
another description, has just been communicated to us on
authority of so unquestionable a character, that it becomes
our duty, however painful the performance of that duty
may be, to lay the facts before the public. The offender
is the Rev. Mr. —, and our indignant regret is en-
hanced by the fact that he is a Protestant clergyman in
orders, though at present he is not, nor has he been for
some time past, holding any other'cleriCal character. He
took out his degrees, it seems, under another name, but as-
sumed the one which he now bears, from what motive we
are yet to learn. About nine years ago lw eommenced teacher,
and succeeded to an old-established academy for the education
of youth, in which he was eminently successful, although his
literary acquirements were not of the highest order ; but
he provided for his own deficiencies by the engagement of
competent assistants in the classical department; however,
it is certain that at one time he numbered from 150 to
160 regular day scholars in the establishment. It would
he presumed that any gentleman circumstanced as he was
—without the incumbrance of a fitmily, enjoying the re-
spect and confidence. of his patrons—might from such
source derive• au easy and honourable, if not an affluent,
independence; unfortunately for him, frugality and industry
were qualities for which the Rev. Gentleman was not par-
ticularly remarkable, but rather the reverse---,his habits
were indolent, and his income seldom regulated his expen-
diture. The consequence is obvious ; the negligence of
the principal furnished a plea for relaxed assiduity on the
part of the subordinates, to whom he alMost wholly relin-
quished the management of the school—it declined, and
his affairs became embarrassed. Unable any longer to
meet his engagements honourably, the unfortunate man re-
sorted to those expedients which have now involved, him
in disgrace and ruin. He commenced his career of
crime as a taker of spurions bills—by various unworthy
stratagems he obtained the signatures of the ushers and
scholars, then giving them currency and imaginary va-
lue by his own acceptance. As these bills became due,
and without funds to meet them, his affairs fell into still
greater entanglement—another and another was fabricated
to take up the former ; this system could not endure fur
ever, and by that sort of progression in error (of which
there are but too many instances) he ultimately became a
forger ! With the desperation of a ruined man he connected
himself with others whose fortunes were as desperate as his
own. The names of some of those individuals we are in.
possession of, but pending any investigatiOn which may_
we had almost said meat take place, it would not be pro-
per to publish them at present. They consi,t, however, of
broken-down tradesmen and ci-dcvant pawUrolsers.
Throu.gh this medium,
.forged and fabricated bills were put
forth to the amount of. not less than 30,000/., and we know•
that there is, in more than one Solicitoi's (Ace, paper if
no better value to a considerable extent, in course'of re-
covert', which must now be altogether hopeless. The
Rev.. Gentleman is now in custody in a -lockup
