STAG HUNT ON THE LAKES OF KILLARNEY.
TOLL:', JOLT 25. a-P Will you go to the Stag Hunt r was the
question with which every inhabitant of our town accosted his
neighbour on Monday and Tuesday last, " there will be great sport
at the Stag Hunt." Every one who had leisure, and a chance of a
seat in a boat, determined on visiting the enchanting scenery of Kil-
larney. We participated In the general feeling, and accordingly
summoned up resolution to endure the scorching heat of the sun,
for about three hours, on one of the singles which ply between this
town and Killarney.
On our arrival there we found the town thronged with strangers,
and various were the surmises as to the probability of a good day's
wit on the morrow. The night wa very close • and the next
morning gave every promise that the" noon would en a sultry
day"—not a leaf stirred on the lofty Tomys—not a breeze rippled
the placid surface of Lough Leans. The mountains were manned
from an early hour; and the celebrated beagles of John O'Connell
Esq. of Grena, were at Glenna long before any of the boats had
arrived. The 'signal for laying on the hounds was given at twelve
o'clock—and they drew the mountain as far as the eagle's nest,
without meeting a stag; their cry, as they hailed through the woods,
had, however, a very fine effect. Being unsuccessful here, Mr.
O'Connell ordered them off to Turk Lake—and they crossed the
Channel in fine style, giving employment to the surrounding echoes.
The boats presented a confused and picturesque appearance, as
they made for the Old Wear Bridge. Mr. O'Connell 's fine eight-
oared barge was the only one that shot the bridge, with all its com-
pany on board. The scene in Turk Lake was delightful beyond
the power of description ; about fifty boats, many of them deco-
rated with Sap and streamers, appeared on the unruffled basin of
that lovely Lake ; whilst the gra road to Kenmare, and the sur-
rounding heights, were crowded with pedestilan and equestrian
spectators. The hounds bad not been long oil the mountain, when
they roused " the Antler'd Monarch of the waste;" their cry, as
they pursued him through the dense cover of the mountain, for
about twenty minutes, bad the finest effect imaginable; and ost ar-
riving at the waterfall of Turk, the huntsman called off the hounds,
in consequence of the lateness of the hour, and the dispersion of
the boats.

We regret to state that a melancholy gloom was thrown on tbe
pleasures of the day, by a distressing accident which occurred after
the Stag Hunt had terminated: A party, .consisting of the sons of
Couliseller Lessicr, with their tutor (Mr. Vaughan), a very ami.
able young man, Mr. John Lynch, sen. of this town, and Mr. and
lirs. Doherty (his eon-in-law and daughter), bad gone to see the
Lii.per Lake, after the amusement of the day was over. In ewe.
sequence of the drunkenness of one of the boatmen, the boat was
upset, and the Tutor perished. The sons of Mr. Leader, and the
rest of the company providentially saved themselves by swimming
to shore.
DERBYSHIRE ARCHERY MEETING.

Thursday last the members of this Society held their second
Meeting fur the season at Kedleston. On this occasion the targets
were removed from their former stations in the field in front of the
inn, and were judiciously pitched underneath the fine oaks (with
which Kedleston Park abounds) on the left of the foot road,
leading to the mineral spring so well known to the inhabitants of
Derbyshire and the neigbbouting counties. Old perforated targets,
displaying the prowess of former public days, were suspended from
the trunk of the trees, and marquees were stationed in different
situations, adding much to this very imposing scene. About 12
o'clock shooting for the prizes commenced, and at three the com-
pany (consisting of near 200 persons) sat down to an excellent
dinner, provided by Mr. Storer and his nieces, in the pavilion;
which was most tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers,
forming various devices. Oa the removal of the cloth, the success-
' ful candidates were declared, and in the following order :
The Hon. Caroline Curzon . Gold Medal.
Miss L. Mundy Silver ditto.
Mr. W. Holden Gold Medal.
Mr. Mundy, Shipley . . Silver ditto.
At the conclusion of this interesting ceremony, the Lady Para-
mount for the year (Mrs. Hall), and the President (Sir Roger
Gresley, eteph presented a beautifully embossed gold pencil.cue,to
be shot for in the evening. The Ladies immediately after dinner
withdrew to the shooting ground, which was to be the scene of
contention for these two prises; nor were they long unattended by
the gallant Toxopholites, who quickly joined their fair companions.
The shooting commenced about half.pest five,aad continued without
intermission until eight o'clock, when Mr. Bent and Mr. Henry
Haden were the successful candidates. The awarding of the above
prizes having taken place dancing commenced, and was kept up
with considerable animation 'till the
" Morning's dawn dispeird the fleeting mists."

TLe French Papers contain details of fresh conflagra-
tions in every part of the Continent. The town of Salins,
in the Department ed Jura,was nearly annihilated in
few hours, and that of erlburgh, in the Duchy of
Hesse Darmstadt had :43 houses reduced to ashes in a
still shorter period. •

POLIcI nv2ILLIGINCE.
n ATTON-G AUDIO.
Mimes tx Ctitatraxwetz.-.-Yesteiday, frbe
was examined before Mr. Serjeasst Szt.tots, oti Monday, be het-
_tally assaulting a woman with whom be cohabited, Wised Juke
Harley, the particulars of which were briefly noticed in yesterday's
Paper, was again placed atthe bar, under a charge of murder, the
woman having died in the interim.
Mr. Conper,the surgeon, who had attegded tap 4eeemed,stated
to the Magistrate (Mr.Roonaii)4 that he isatfisited his patient four
different times in the course of the preceding day and night; at each
11 interview she seemed to be getting weaker, and drafting nearer w
dissolution. Every thing that could be anggeetal titsierlise cir-
cumstances of so hopeless a case, was resorted to, though with-
out effect, and she died at half-past one o'clock yesterday mornings
The evidence taken on the previous day, before Mr. Snead
Szuon, was then read over.
Mr. Rouen inquired if any disclosure had been made the wo-
man herself, in the presence of those who attended on her?
Mr. Cooper—No, your Worship, there has not; in fact she was
incapable of making any, for, from the time that i west:ailed to her
assistance, until the hour of her death, she continued in a stare of
the most complete insensibility; indeed, at the very moment that I
saw her first she was all but dead.
Lodesman, the constable, who took the prisoner into custody,
stated that there were several witnesses now in attendance, en sum:
manses issued by Mr. Serjeant Sm.r.ox, who were deterred from
coming forward to give voluntary testimony, by the threats made
use of by some of the prisoner's relatives and associates.
Mr. Hooves desired that every protection should be afforded to
the witnesses, and admonished them of the impropriety of itee,,ing
back on that account. As it was likely the verdict of the Ctlnotr's
Inquest would speedily be ascertained, he thought it unnecessary to
go into any farther evidence at present.
The prisoner was then remanded for further examination. lie
did not evince the slightest concern when the gaoler Wormed
him of the fatal result, but merely replied, " if she be dead. I
can't help that, it is no fault of mine, I know that I did not
kill her."
ANIMUS Case or STAIIIIII6—A most powerful fellow, named
Milian Rush, was charged with inflicting a deep wound with a
large clasp knife, on the person of an elderly and infirm woman.;
named Catharine Elbey.
This act of violence cannot be separated from the one above.
mentioned. It occurred on the same evening, in White Horse
Alley,- Oerkenwell, where the deceased was lying wetteeng in
blood. Elbey, with other women, had collected in the Court, and
were execrating Sullivan's cruelty, when the prisoner Rush, who is
an associate of his, took out a clasp knife. and stabbed Ribey with
it in the temple.—He also was remanded for examination.

L AM BETH-STRETIT.
George Weiliastes was brought up, charged with several acts
of violence towards hi. more peaceable neighbours. On being
placed at the table, the office became crowded w excess by persons
to prefer their charges against bim ; but such was the violence able
temper, even in the presence of the B-uch, that the Magistrates
found the necessity of binding him down bythe strong arm of the law.
It appeared, from the statement of his friends, that he had been
Serjeant-Major in the Sod Light Infantry, that he had travelled
t►e whole of the Peninsula with his more illustrious namesake.
where he bad been in sixteen general engagements, and finished
his campaign on the field of Waterloo, where he received a dread-
' ful sabre wound on the head, the effects of which, slime the hot
weather, has much impaired his intellect. Ordered to find bail.
