SPORTING MISCELLANEOUS. 
The Devon and Somerset Stug Hounds will meet on 
Tuesday, the *22ud, at Simonsbuth, and on Friday, the 25th, 
at Whitestones, each day at half-past ten o’clock. 
Storting at the present Period. — At the present 
period the number of fox-hunting establishments kept up in 
England and Wale3 amounts to ninety-six; there may be a few 
more, but they are unimportant ones. To show the increase, 
in 1830, sixty-eight packs of hounds were compounded for; 
in 1850, eighty-four, according to the returns of assessed 
taxes. Some of these are maintained with princely magni- 
ficence, at an expense not under £3,500 or £4,000 per annum. 
The average may be estimated at £1,400 u-yeor, which makes 
a total of £126,000 circulated through the medium of hounds 
and horses. 
Fatal Accident at the North Staffordshire Races. — 
A lamentable accident occurred ou the course on Tuesday. 
At one of the booths a stand was erected, which was elevated 
about nine feet at the front, and rising to something like 
fourteen feet at the back. As the horses were preparing to 
run for the first stake, a number of persona — it is said more 
than in any other stand excepting the grand stand — hail taken 
their places, when a slight vibration was felt, and in a moment 
the gallery and its occupants fell t~n masse into the compart- 
ments below, where a number of persons were drinking. 
Tho scene was instantly one of indescribable confusion, and 
screams and groans rent the ail*. It was soon apparent that 
the casualty was a very serious one, a man and a woman 
being taken out of the ruins quite dead, and a number of 
other persona who were more or less injured were got from 
amongst the debris as speedily as possible. — Staffordshire 
A dvertiser. 
Said Pasha, to mark his advent to the Government of 
Egypt, has abolished the town or octroi duties on wheat and 
flour, but this measure would be much improved were the 
duty Liken off all eatables entering the town, such as vege- 
tables, fruit, &c., as thus far a duty of about a third of their 
value has been levied on all these articles, and this weighs very 
heavily on the poorer classes. Tho late Abbus Pacha's pro- 
perty will be divided between bis son and daughter, and, 
besides the large tracts of land and the numerous palaces he 
has left to them, there are 1,200 horses some of the purest 
Arab breed, and about 600 dogs, collected from all parts of 
tho world, many of them tit an enormous cost. 
Grouse Shooting. — We are informed that the Bradfiold 
and the Derbyshire moors are quite alive with grouse, and 
excellent sport is anticipated. Sheffield can boast of some as 
good shots as any there we in this part of the country, and 
wo expeot to hew of their making enormous bags . — Sheffield 
Examiner. 
The Moors. — We learn that the Weather, ou the 12th of 
August, was very unfavourable for sportsmen, and the ouly 
goml bag that has at present reached us was Mr. Wynne 
Williams’ and the Hun. Mr. Mostyn’s, M.P., who killed up- 
wards ul 5)0 brace on tho Glen Tulchoumoors. The Duke of 
Atlioll's otter hounds had some excellent sport last week on the 
Spey, near Grautown. Tho Dumfries Courier, speaking of 
the 12th, says, “ In consequence of tho rain some sportsmen 
never went upon tho grouud at all, and the more ardent, 
who threaded tho moors in defiance of the elements, met 
with but slight reward in exchange for a thorough wotting. 
In one or two instances we liavo hoard of bovou or eight 
braco having been bagged, but a single brace or a single bird 
wore more common." 
WestbuRY. — On tho 5th inst., tho keeper of H. Q. G. 
Ludlow, Esq., who a fine woodcock in the preserves near 
Hey wood House, a most singular oiroumstonco at this period 
of the year. This cock was also seen about a week before 
by another party. 
Captured at Last. — In 1851 an account was published of 
the whale-ship Ann Alexander, Captain Deblois, of Now Bed- 
ford, being attacked and stove by a sperm whale. The whale 
was coming at tlio rate of fifteen miles an hour and tho ship 
going about five at tho time of tho collision. Tho whale 
came with full force against tho ship's bow, and stove in 
several feet square, almost instantly sinking the vessel, and 
hardly giving those ou board an opportunity to escape. The 
Honolulu Friend, of May 8, states that about five months 
subsequent to tho catastrophe tho same whale was taken by 
the Rebecca Sims, of Now Bedford. Two harpoons were 
discovered in him, marked " Ann Alexander." The whale’s 
head was found seriously injured, and contained pieces of 
the ship’s timbers. lie had lost li is wildness and ferocity, 
being much diseased ; but, upop being taken, yielded aovouty 
or eighty barrels of oil. 
THE TWELFTH OF AUGUST. 
Tub Moors and the Groubk. 
(From the Banff shirt Journal.'] 
Saturday last, the 12th of August, opened auspiciously. 
At midnight there had been a heavy fall of rain, but before 
dawn a slight breeze sprung up, and in most cases tho day 
continued fine throughout. All accounts agree in reporting 
the game as plentiful, though in many cases wild and strong. 
As will be seen from tho following reports, our sportsmen 
havo had fair success. Wo arrange in counties tho reports 
wo have from our correspondents in the various districts of 
the north ; — 
BANFFSHIRE. 
At the Glenfiddich and Blackwater shootings in this county, 
belonging to the Duke of Richmond, his grace and party had 
excellent sport. At Glenfiddich, tho noble duke, who was 
only out a couple of hours, had ton and a half brace grouse. 
The Earl tif March killed with his own gun idxty brace. Lord 
Hill and Lord Georgo Gordon Lennox hugged between them 
ninety-three brace. At the Blackwater shootings, General 
Sir E. Bowator had twenty-nine and a half brace ; Colonel 
Jebb; who was only out two hours, had nine brace grouse 
and one plover ; and Mr. Cox bagged flfty-ono brace. 
Ou the Aultmore shootings, in tho western district of tho 
county, Captain Feudall and party were very successful, 
killing thirty-seven brace of grouse and three pair hares. 
Un the Fife-Keith shootings, Charles Whatman, Esq., and 
party were not out till a late period of tho day, when they 
killed twelve and a half brace grouse, and two leverets. 
Ou the Bcuriuues - hills, in tho upper district of the 
county, the Messrs. Grant and party (consisting of Mr. War- 
ren, London, and Mr. Grant, Shenvol) bugged to four guns 
fifty-one brace and two hares iu about four hours’ shooting. 
This is one brace more than what was killed same day last 
year. William Grant, Esq., of Carron, accompanied by 
Captain Lcickmcro, bagged to two guns thirty-one and a half 
brace iu about four hours’ shooting. This urdont sportsman 
(Mr, Grant) succeeded tho same day in capturing a splendid 
salmon. This is also similar to his success same day last 
year, which was “ sixteen brace in about three-and-a-hulf 
hours to one gun." On the Mortlach-hills, Upton Slack, 
Esq., bagged to two guns forty-five braco in about five hours. 
At Wester Elchies, Mr. Parks killed thirty brace. Our cor- 
respondent adds, “ tho birds are all healthy, and well grown, 
anil not a * cheaper' to be seen. A high wind which prevailed 
during the greater part of tho day, placed the sportsmen at 
some disadvantage.” 
Ou the Glcnriuucs-moors, Mr. Smith, Miumore, anil party 
had also excellent sport, killing thirty brace before twelve 
o'clock noon- — the birds being reported strong and wild, but 
quite healthy. 
On the Glomnarkie-moors, tlio gentlemen shooting there, 
W. T. Riley, Esq., Dr. M ‘William, J. C. Lyndon, and Edward 
Lewis, found the birds veiy numerous and Htrong, more so 
than for several years past — being fully u fortnight earlier 
than usual for the 12tli. The covies were large, and in inauy 
instuuces packed, and owing to those circumstances, and tho 
previous night’s rain and high winds, the Hport was not so 
good as anticipated. Tho sportsmen, however, had little 
ground for complaint, for, in the course of not a long beating 
of the hills, they bagged 1324 braco grouse, five hares, two 
braco snipe, and three plovers. 
On the Blairliudy shooting in Glonlivat, the Messrs Call- 
well had excellent sport. Mr. W. Call well killed, in six 
hours, forty-one brace and one hare — nineteen brace being 
brought down iu the first hour. Mr. Henry Callwell, iu 
seven hours, killed sixty-two braco and three hares. The 
party at Balliudalloch were out on the Morange-hill in the 
afternoon, and iu a few hours killed thirty-five brace to 
one gun. The day is described os pleasant, and the birds 
plentiful, but very strong. 
Nor were the Strathavou sportsmen less fortunate. The 
Langanauld shootings are about the best in the country, and 
this year they did not belie their character. The weather 
there was, however, somewhat unfavourable. “ The morn- 
ing, " says our correspondent, “opened rather unfavourably, 
anti iu the early part of the day there were several heavy 
showers. Towards forenoon, however, tho weather cleared 
up, aud throughout tho remainder of tho day it was dry, 
but rather windy." In spite of these disadvantages, the 
party made good bags, some of them the heaviest wo have 
to record. Lord Henry Bentinck had eighty braco grouse
