THE KING'S STAG HOUNDS. ,
Monday hi. Majesty's Stag Hounds met at Saida, and in the
lane leading to Farnham the Stag was uncarted. He went off to
Burnham, leaving it on the left ; thence to Dropmore,
through the grounds and back to Tapluw, where he was taken in
Lord Newry's grounds, after a pretty run of about an hour. From
the extraordinary fineness of the weather, coupled with the proxi.
'sky of the place of meeting, a much larger assemblage of company
were anticipated to view the turr.iog out. It is supposed. however,
that all are reserving themselves fur the Grand Day.
THE FANCY.

Minna Uncommon—At a Crib, within a hundrfid miles of
Clan-market, Ned Stockman and Coot.* the pedestrn, came to
cross-purposes, big words, and mighty threats; ant:lptd.
esently the
gauntlet a. thrown down, and a fight instantly prepdied. Stock.
man chatengetl--Cootes stinted, and without more to do, they
were both stripped and in battle array immediately. Young Dutch
Sam and Dick Curtis'stood fofward to handle Ned, and there
were wine Fancy friends present wbo did the offices for ciente,.
The Pedestrian rather surprised the natives at the fight he allowed
on the onset ; but Ned won gut in upon him, and convinced them
all that Coutes could have no great chance; and at the end of the
6th round Cones was taken away pretty much punished about the
bead. Neers face was without mark.

BORDER GAMES.
Monday, the 17th inst. these games were exhibited, as usual, at
Mount Berger on Yarrow,and under the patronage of the St.
'D Ronan's Border Club. e morning being temperate, a great con-
course of young mountaineers attended at an early hour, all eager
to share iu the *ports of the day.
The first trial was at hop, step, and leap—seven competitors.
Gained by Andrew Beattie, shepherd in Craik hope, who leaped on
a level plain forty-five feet seven inches—the farthest ever reached
at these games before. Indeed, there was not one present who had
ever witnessed such a leap before, or done In such beautiful style.
The same young man won In 1026.
The next prize was for putting a stone of 1 Slbs.—twelve compe-
titors. Won by William Goodfellow, servant to Mr. Hogg, in
Mount Henget. The distance thrown was 35 feet ; but it was from
a gravel pit, railed in nearly breast high, which, measured by a
theolodite, made an acclivity of one foot in six.
The next was throwing a stone 221 b. from the same pit. The dis-
canoe thrown was 31 feet two inches. Gained likewise by Good-
fellow. Nine competitors.
The first race was won by Robert Laidlaw, shepherd in Chapel-
hope. A hard race of 700 yards, won only by a distance of 4 feet.
Three competitors.
The second race was won by Andrew Burnet, servant to the Earl
of Traquair. Three competitors. A very hard race of 700 yards.
The 'first prize wrestling was gained by a young joiner from
&trick, named William Laidlaw, owing to a number of fortuitous
events. He was a little mild-looking lad, about 51 feet high; he
won against 32 competitors, many ut them a third heavier.
The second prise for wrestling was gained by William Scott,
against 32 competitors. In both these games, a great number of
young agile fellows having entered the lists, the sport was excel-
lent ; and the more so, as there was not one very superior or over-
powering wrestler among them all, George Best, one of our old
standard champions. yielded good naturedly to acquaintances both
times. The gainer of this prize was a very powerful young man,
from the moors of Reavergreen, with fully as much science as one
1,1
of his owu huge oxen.
The nest prise, for throwing the light hammer, was won by
William Turnbull, jun. limerlaihen ; who also was the gainer at
throwing the heavy hammer. The former was the same hammer
thrown last summer by the &. Ronan 's Club; but the throw came
tar abort of that by bit. Adam Wilson of Edinburgh. The Flowers
if the Arse an very maenad at this game. . Toe hammer was
flying in All directions, to the inunkient danger of his Majesty's
lieges, sometimes stoning along* the plain, at other times flying to
an altitude beyond all calculation.
There Delos no time for any more games, the great annual match
at foot ball between the men of Ettrick and the men of Yarrow
was begun at a quarter past three o'%lock ; and though, on casting
lots, the &trick men gut the advantage of a strong wind in their
favour, the game could net be gained by any of the parties, but
continued until it was pitch dark. and the ball was lost, with very
little advantage on either side. Perhaps a harder game never was
played; and though more than one half of the men were severely
woutuled„ and had their clothes torn, it was altogether astonishing
with what perseverance and good humour the game proceeded.
There were upwards of two hundred players, but the exact num-
ber on each side could not be ascertained.

Impot tent dispatches are said to have been received on
Saturday by the French Ambassador, Prince POLIONAC.
The King of PRUSSIA, according to letters from Ber-
lin, has written to his soo in Sr. r etersburgh, desiring
him to urge personally on the Emperor NICHOLAS the
necessity of moderation in his demands on Turkey. The
King of PRUSSIA has more than once felt the bitter
disasters of war, and knows the. value of peace. He is
cordial in his union with Austria and England to pre-
vent hostilities.
