PORTING.

The Royal staghounds hunted in Surrey on Saturday, when the
favourite Scotch deer " Percy" led the run, followed by one hun-
dred sportsmen. On passing over the bridge near the Farnborough
Railway station, it leapt the parapet, and falling a depth of nearly
100 feet broke its neck. Lord Rosslyn endeavoured to ascertain
the party who beaded the stag, and caused it to spring ever, but
without success.
