ROYAL STAG HUNT.

Friday last the Hunt bad an Almost unprecedented run, both for
severity and duration. A capital day was anticipated, ftom its
being known that the Stag was a tried good performer. He was
uncatted at New Lodge, Winkfieid, and after the usual law the
Hounds were laid on, and presently took the scent. The cry was
.shrill and melodious, and ' the pace soon selected the horses - from
the beginning there was no chance for the "skitters." The Stag
fully maintained bis Winer reputation. His best ssep was towards
St. Leonard's, right through the woods, returning by the Squirrel
at Wilthficld; 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's gardens; on to
Virginia Water, thence in Shrub's Hill, St. Anne's Hill, and Otter-
Shaw Park. Up to this period the Stag had kept on at such a
rattling pace as to distance all who bad not made up their minds to
a.hard day's wosk, !yid got nags that could do it. After doubling
about for some time longer, he was- finally captured in Lord King
Park, at Ripley, after a tremendous run of three Sours Ind a half.
Out of upwards of one hundred Gentlemen, not more than eight or
ten were in at thetaking; among them, as usual, was Lord' Mary,
borough. was acknowledged to be an unparalleled hard day for,
both horses Ad bounds. Several horses weft killed, and all showed
" symptoms" of bard work.
Sir John Cope's Fos Hounds drew Windsor Park again, by
permission, on Tuesday last, but without success. A political wag
said, on the occasion, that the frees were seldom found so near Court.

Tasr ACT.—sin anecdote on this Suliect is travelling

to have called, three weeks since,; on Mr. HUSKISSON,
and inquired " O hat the Test and Corporation business
was—whether it was connected with corn or the coloniesr
The Secretary is repotted to have replied, 4, Nen r mind,
go down and vote against it."
A shocking accident occurred at Bockfastleigh on
the evening of the 5(1 inst. Two young men of Brent, , named
Perring and LusCombe, being in company with two young women
at the former place, engaged in a dispute with a family called Cross-
man. living near the bridge, at the eastern end of the town; after
some time, however, they both ran off on the Ashburton road,
leaving their companions behind, and were puree, d by Crossman
and his three sons. Perceiving an opening in a hedge a short dis-
tance from the town, which they naturally expected led inter a field,
the young men attempted through this to make their escape; bet
unfortunately, the evening being very dark, and they unacquainted
with the place, both at the sante moment jumped into a quarry pit
upwards of 20 feet deep, where they were afterwards found.by
their pursuers in a must deplorable state. They were conveyed
back to the town. The injuries sustained by Perring have proved
fatal; he lingered until the llth inst. when death terminated his
sufferings. Luscoathe was also materially injured, but we are glad
to find he is likely to recover. An Inquest was held on the body
of the deceased at Brent, by Joseph Gribble, Esq. on Friday last,
when, after a most patient and laborious investigation, rendered
necessary in consequence of various reports in circulation, stating
that the poor fellows had been ill used after they were discovered
in the pit, a verdict of Accidental Death was returned, and no
circumstance elicited attaching the least blame to the Crossirians.—
