MONMOUTHSHIRE HUNT DINNER.
MONMOUTHSHIRE HUNT DINNER. On Friday evening a complimentary dinner was given to Major Stretton, of Brynderwen, the pop- ular master of the Monmouthshire fox hounds, by farmers and non-subscribers to the hunt, at the Angel hotel, Abergavenny. The company, which included, besides many members of the hunt, a good sprinkling of farmers from the Herefordshire side, numbered upwards of a hundred. E. M. Curre, Esq., Itton Court, presided, and among the gentlemen present were Major Gwynne F. C. H. Williams Esq., Captain Wheeley, W. H. Wheeley Esq., F. Levick, Jun., Esq., Captain Hill, J. Lloyd, Esq., (Dinas), W. F. Batt, Esq., E. Batt, Esq., Captain Freke Lewis, Roshier, Esq., J. B. Walford, Esq., E. Y. and S. Steel, Esqs., &c. After the usual loyal toasts, the Chairman gave the health of Major Stretton, upon whose merits he descanted in terms of highest eulogy, and described him as a man whom they all" delighted to honour." The toast was received with vociferous acclamation. Major Stretton, in replying, referred to the fact that six-and-twenty years since he had received a like compliment to the one paid him that even- ing, and had likewise been presented with a hand- some piece of plate. That had been most flaterring to him. He was then, however, a young and un- tried man and it was infinitely more gratifying to him, if possible, when he was no longer untried, but after a residence in the neighbourhood of thir- ty or forty years, to be again recognised in the same friendly manner. (Applause.) He expressed his obligation to the Monmouthshire farmers, among whom he did not think there was one who would trap or kill a fox. That was his opinion and he believed the one or two anonymous writers whose productions they sometimes see in the news- papers got well bullied when they went to mar- ket. In conclusion, he begged his friends that in going over the land of the farmers, who -were so well disposed towards them, they would abstain as much as possible from riding over the wheat fields, and deal as gently as they could with the young clover not that but he thought they might do as much harm in a field of turnips, but they should study the prejudices of the farmers. (Applause.) Among other toasts were: The health of the Duke of Beaufort, the prince of the sportsmen The Tredegar family," whose uniform readiness to assist the hunt was expatiated upon and The Herefordshire and adjoining hunts, coupled with the name of Sir Kelters Cornwall, Mr. Curre, Mr. Lawrence," &c. The evening was most pleasantly passed, and the enthusiasm with which the veteran master was greeted must have afforded him ample proof, if, indeed, any were needed, of the high es- teem in which he is held by the farmers and the lovers of field sports generally throughout the neighbourhood.

SUICIDE OF A MERTHYR TYDVIL…
SUICIDE OF A MERTHYR TYDVIL GENTLEMAN. On Friday morning at an early hour, a gentle- cl man of property named Lewis, from Merthyr Tydfil, who was stopping for the night at the Bed- ford Hotel, Covent Garden, London, was found to to have committed suicide by hanging himself with a bell-rope from one of the bed-rails in his room. On searching his clothes and portmanteau there were found a purse, containing X:3 10s, in gold, £5 in silver, a cheque for 250, a pocket book, a silver watch and gold chain, and some articles of apparel and of the toilet. So far there has not been disscovered any motive to account for the rash act. r «
