This defeat has been occasioned less by any principle of public conduct than by the factious and dis- creditable combination of incongruous parties. Every one hungering for place has been willing to run at the Minister in order to get possession of his office, and Lord John Russell's small band of followers just constituted the majority. This purpose may, however, be defeated, for the country may, and we think it will, reverse the decision of the House of Com- mons. That decision is neither warranted by law nor fact. The case has been argued throughout as if the Chinese authorities were persons who would be bound by rules of law, and would act in strict observance of them and of treaties. The reverse is the truth; and as facts are more and more ascertained, the clearer it becomes that the attack on Canton— an event deeply to be regretted— has been forced on the reluctant British authorities by those of China. On Monday evening, Mr Robertson, the member for Hastings— a gentleman personally well acquainted with China— informed the house that up to the time of the treaty no lorcha was allowed up the Canton river. It was a kind of vessel perfectly well known to the Chinese as what was to them a foreign vessel, and one which was only admitted into their waters by virtue of the treaty. This at once puts an end to the pretence that they believed it to be a Chinese vessel. If so, then the question of its having the British flag hoisted at the moment of its actual capture ( though there is good rer son for believing that such was the fact) be- comes immaterial; to the Chinese it was known as a foreign vessel, and as one protected by the treaty. But then, say the advocates of Commissioner Yeh, the Chinese knew that there were pirates among the crew, and thev had a right to seize those pirates. They had no such right, even though pirates had been on board a treaty protected vessel. The Chinese were bound to apply to the British authorities to make tb § seizure, Had they done so, the seizure would have been made at once, for the Chinese could not have a stronger desire than the English to repress piracy and to punish pirates. The subsequent restoration of ten out of the twelve men captured proved two things, first, thattheChinese autho- rities had no charge against these ten, but had seized them recklessly, wrongfully, and without cause; and secondly, that act itself showed how little the Chinese authorities would regard a treaty, and therefore how necessary it was for the British authorities promptly and vigorously to interfere to compel ita observance. Be it observed, too, that of the two men still kept in prison one is kept, not as a criminal, but as a witness, and the statement now made is, that the pretended criminal is not the criminal himself but his son, who is to suffer for his father's misdeeds! The same disregard which the Chinese showed for the treaty and for justice in the case of eleven, perhaps of the twelve men, who were probably British Lascars, they would Show in the case of native- burn Englishmen. It is to prevent such occurrences and to pro- tect innocent men from this sort of tyrannical abuse, that treaties are made and that such treaties must be enforced. The notice to the British Consul was required in order to afford this necessary protection. All who know China know well enough that such protection is most necessary. The Chinese are little careful of life, and no foreigner can trust to their justice. The wholesale massacre of the shipwrecked crew and passengers of the merchant vessel Nerbudda, among whom was young Mr Gully, the son of the then member for Pontefract, was without the slightest pretence of excuse from circumstances, or of warrant from authority, and establishes the fact that no one, not even King Bomba himself, has a greater disregard for justice and humanity. With such people a rule must be laid down, and at any cost it must be enforced. The necessity for its enforcement in this case is, we repeat, a matter deeply to be regretted j but that necessity has been thrust upon us. How far the Chinese have in this matter acted solely upon motives peculiar to themselves, or upon such motives in combination with suggestions from Russia ( which of all the States of the world is the only one that has a Minister resident at Pekin), time alone can explain. The fault is not justly attributable to the British authorities. A war with all the nations of the West has been wantonly provoked by the Chinese, who have offered such insults to the flags of the United States and of France, as have compelled the commanders of both _ those Powers to take vengeance, since they applied in vain for reparation. Day by day new proof will be given of this fact, and the country will declare that the performance of an inevitable duty has been properly undertaken by the British Admiral, and rightly adopted by the Ministry of Lord Pa!- merston. . Mr Roebuck ( the only one of the majority whom any onewill believe to have acted from truly independent molives) falls into a great mistake when he supposes that he can institute a comparison between France and China, and, in virtue of instituting that comparison, asks whether, under exactly the same circumstances, we should have acted towards France as we have acted towards China. The two countries are entirely different, and his question is ( though of course not intended so to be) very dishonouring for France. In France justice would be fairly dealt out to an Englishman, and therefore we have no treaty with France any more than France has a treaty with us, requiring that no man shall ba taken out of a vessel of either nation, except with the previous knowledge of the consul of that nation. If such a treaty existed, each nation would observe it; but no such treaty is necessary with either. It is necessary with the Chinese, and the Chinese authorities have broken that treaty. With nations that wilfully break solemn treaties no terms can be kept, and it is Mr Commissioner Yeh on whom the responsibility of what is now occurring properly fails. We shall soon have the elections, and if the people want to afford protection to trade and traders they must rally round Lord Palmerston. THE DERBYITE MEETING. There is nothing so amusing as vanity, whether in its assumptions of superiority over others, or in its denial of such assumptions when they are employed against itself- The Derbyite meeting of Saturday has given occasion to both exhibitions. If the Derbyite organ, the Press, was to be believed, Lord Derby asserted his rule over his party much after the fashion in which the " right divine" Count de Chambord would assert his authority over a body ot devoted Legitimists. On the other hand, Mr Newdegate, in a very urgent tone ( but in very defective English) decies that any such supremacy was asserted by his chief or would have been submitted to by his followers. Lord Derby's explanation does not quite bear out Mr Newdegate's letter, since Lord Derby may have been most imperious and Mr Newdegate most submissive, and yet the report of which the latter com- plains may have represented him to say " not only what he did- not say, but the reverse of what he said." The explana- tion may refer to political doctrines only, not to the authority which the noble earl claimed to exercise over his followers. That there must be in the Derbyite leaders something of the spirit which the report in the Press so ostentatiously set forth, can hardly be doubted, for the Morning Herald, in a leading article on the doings of the Conservative party, speaks as if the head of the party was everything, and as if the followers were only so much " chaire a poudre," which a great general had a perfect right to devote to any purpose he thought fit. The Herald says:—" On the first great division of the session only 170 Conservatives in the House of Commons voted with their leader, while 38 supported Lord Palmerston, and 58 absented themselves. Fully one- third, therefore, of the whole party were in a state of rebellion." Considering that this is stated of 286 men who pretend to be representatives of their constituents and slaves of no man, the phrase is an odd one. Bat it describes the principles of the party, and could hardly have been used by such an acknowledged party journal without the concurrence of the men whose opinions and practices it represents. Such a party ia not fit to govern England. SIR J. M'NEILL AND COLONEL TULLOCH. It is a common practice to judge of others by yourself, but the practice is a bad one. They who have grown old in par- liamentary struggles, and, therefore, believe in Walpole's assertion that every man has his price, have ventured to offer Sir J. M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch £ 1,000 a piece for their services on the Crimean Inquiry. The offer was accom- panied with one of those cold letters of Ministerial approval which took away from the offer all character of its being an honorary reward. It is almost needless to say that both the distinguished gentlemen to whom the offer was made de- clined it. They have thus established another claim to their country's gratitude and respect. While proved incom- petence has received promotion, and men without a shadow of a claim to " honours" have chained them, these two gentlemen have been left without reward, and one of them, having the misfortune to hold a military commission, has been, on that account, compelled to undergo before a board which neither by its proceedings nor in its decision has done anything to gain public approval, a mental and bodily tor- ment that at one time nearly threatened his life. The Crown alone can grant what are termed " honours"— it has not done so— to these nobly distinguished men, but the people can give honour to them. That popular honour has been already bestowed. Something more may follow at " a fitter time," but in the meanwhile the people of England must determiae, if they mean to have an army, and mean that it shall not be made, in peace, tha means of political corruption, and, in war, the victim of incompetence, to reform the mode in which its management is conducted. The injustice shown to Sir J. M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch is the result of a system whose abuses have been too fatally apparent. Those abuses must be remedied— the system must be radically reformed. CHINA. DEPARTURE OE THE COURT FOE WINDSOR.— On Tuesday her Majesty and the royal family left town for Windsor Castle, which they reached at 20 minutes before five o'clock. MARRIAGE FESTIVITIES AT GUNNEESBUKY PARK.— The mar- riage of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, son of Baron James de Rothschild, of Paris, and Miss de Rothschild, eldest daughter of Baron and Baroness Lionel de Rothschild, was celebrated on Wednesday, at Gunnersbury Park, near Ealing, the interesting event being the occasion of princely doings at the retreat of the Rothschild family. DEATH OE ME SERGEANT WILKINS.— On Wednesday fore- noon Mr Sergeant Wilkins died at his chambers, No. 8, Queen's Bench- walk, Temple, he having been for some weeks past in a state of health which almost deprived his friends of any hope of his recovery. The Temple Church bell was tolled shortly after his demise, to announce the melancholy event. THE ST PAUL'S, KNIGHTSBRIDGE, AND ST BARNABAS, PIMLICO, CHURCH DISPUTES.— The judgment in these impor- tant cases will be delivered next week, but no specific day has yet been named. It is believed that the Right Hon T. Pember- ton Leigh will pronounce their lordships' opinion upon the appeals. COLLISION AND Loss OE A BRIG AT SEA.— FALMOUTH, MARCH 3.— The Belgian barque Duchesse de Brabante, Captain Vanderhove, from Odessa, of 486 tons, for Antwerp, ran foul of and sank the brig Jason, Captain Smith, of Sunderland, from Scalanova for Dunkirk, of 243 tons, on Sunday, at noon, the Lizard distant 20 miles, bearing N. E. The crew of the Jason hastened to get on board the barque whilst in collision, but the master, who was with his people at the moment of contact taking place, was subsequently nowhere to be found. The mate thinks that, in the scramble, he fell between the two ships, and was drowned. The Duchesse de Brabante put in here on Mon- day, with bows damaged, and landed the Jason's crew. At the time of the collision, wind E. S. E, the Jason^ was standing on the starboard tack, towards the land, the Duchesse de Brabante standing off, her head about S. The crew of the Jason were re- ceived into the Royal Cornwall Sailors' Home. CRYSTAL PALACE.— THE HANDEL FESTIVAL.— We are enabled to announce that Monday, the 15th, Wednesday, the 17tli, and Friday, the 19th of June, have been fixed as the days for the three performances of the Grand Handel Festival at the Crystal Palace. These dates have received the approval of her Majesty aud his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who have been pleased to intimate their intention of being present at the interesting and important musical celebration. The oratorios which it is intended to per- form on the above days are the " Messiah," " Judas Maccabeus," and " Israel in Egypt." It is proposed to have a full choral rehearsal on Saturday, the 13th. PROPOSED SUPPRESSION OE GREENWICH FAIR.— A memorial, numerously signed, is about being presented to Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, praying'for the suppression of the usual Easter aud Whitsuntide fair, held at Greenwich. The prayer of the memorialists is based ou the ground of the immoralities which the fairs produce, as evidenced by the scenes witnessed in the drinking and dancing- booths, and other places of " public entertainment" in the town, and corroborated by the number of pickpocket cases which are thus periodically brought before the police magistrates. In opposition to this movement, a public meeting has been held during the past week " of those interested in the continuance of the fair," aud which is likely to lead to much personal feeling between different sections of the in- habitants. REDPATH AND THE GEEAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.— The re- port of the Great Northern Railway Company, just issued, states the amount of stock fraudulently put forth by Redpath to have been about £ 220,000. Against this there will be a set off of the houses and property seized, the value of which the directors are not at present prepared to estimate, although it is believed in other quarters to be about £ 50,000. It appears that Redpath was installed in his important and uncontrolled position at the economical salary of £ 250 per annum, and that the directors were at the time fully aware that he had been a successful specu- lator, They thought, however, that he was satisfied with his success, a result hardly ever yet known in gambling history, and upon his making a " promise" to abstain for the future " from I speculating in shares or stocks of any description, he was ap- j pointed registrar." This is their simple avowal, and it remains ' The following is a summary of the events at Canton since the last Overland Mail. We have nothing to record that contains promise of a speedy termination of our troubles at Canton. The burning of the foreign factories on the 14th December has been followed up by various acts and demonstrations, all showing that the quarrel gains both in depth and breadth the longer it endures. The capture of the little steamer Thistle, and murder of all on board; the placards and proclamations of the neigh- bouring districts; the pursuit of the steamer Fei- Ma; and the formidable attack of a large junk fleet upon the powerful steam squadron before Canton, all prove the increasing hardihood of the enemy, and induce the conclusion that if our present means are thoroughly equal to the maintenance of our present position at Canton, they are at least insufficient to the attainment of the end originally proposed. In the course of three months the local government has been able so to stimulate the anti- barbarian prejudices of the population around us, that the intercourse between tke mainland and this colony may be said to have beeu all but suspended; while a numoer of respectable Chinese, directly and indirectly dependent upon us, have been scared home, lest their apparent attachment to the foreigner should involve their friends and relations, such implication being, in China, the most common consequence of disaffection, established or suspected. We doubt if all that is now needful to restore animation to commerce, and to guarantee the future security of trade, property, and life itself, can be effected by a naval force alone. We have seen that we may shell, burn, and destroy with little result, except an increase of boldness aud pertinacity on the part of our foe. Our navy may yet inflict a blow that will stay his action for the moment, but the city has yet to be taken, or the Canton mau is not beaten ; and until he be, we are still to him ( and to all China) that infe- rior thing, the bar'oarian trader, always uncivilised, and now de- prived of trade by him, the Canton man, whom the trader has never been able to beat. It will be with no usual rejoicing, therefore, that we shall hail the arrival of an adequate military force.— P. S.— Since the above was in type, the Fei- Mahas arrived with intelligence of the admiral having landed a body of men and fired the suburbs, and that a great portion of them, esti- mated at from 2,000 to 3,000 houses, had been destroyed— that the rebel fleet at Whampoa had joined the Imperialists, aud that the admiral had withdrawn the Sybille from Whampoa. All the chops, including that of the British vice- consul, left that place this morning for Hong Kong, and the Spanish steamer Jorge Juan, in tovv of the Scipion, for Macao ; so that there is now not a single foreign vessel of any description at Whampoa. The Hons: Kong paper of Jan 6, says :— From Canton this week we have had rather stirring intelligence- of attacks upon the Dutch Folly by masked batteries, and upon the Comus and Hornet at the barrier at the Macao passage, upon Teatotuin Fort, and upon the Encounter and Niger at Shameen. The at- tack on Dutch Felly took place on the afternoon of New Year's Day, six guns having been mounted by the Chinese on the Honarn side of the river, and four on the Canton side. They were of course speedily silenced, but not until several rockets had entered the fort, to the great endangerment of the maga- zine, which is riot by any means bomb proof ; fortunately none of our men were hurt. The attack by the junks occurred on Sunday, at two p. m., when information was received on board the Coromaudel of a large fleet being in the river between tne Tea to turn Fort and the barrier. The Coromandel instantly got under weigh, with Admiral Seymour, Captain Hall, and Com- mander Bate on board, and towing all the available boats under command of Commander Rowland, of the Calcutta. As the steamer approached, one division of war junks was found en- gaged with the Hornet and Comus, and keeping up a brisk lire; while another division came up th. river in admirable order, and attacked the Coromandel, and boats, and the Teatotum Fort; these junks were very heavily armed, and some of them had long snake- boats lashed to each side to row them along. The fight continued for some time, and unfortunately Mr Pearn, master's assistant of the Calcutta, while lying alongside the Coromaudel in the Calcutta's cutter, was fatally wounded by a round shot, which struck him on the breast and carried away a portion of his right side; he died the same even- ing. The Coromandel and boats had now a warm time of it, for the junks fought well, and the steamer is by no means built for fighting purposes. Still she plied them well with the shot from her bow gun and rockets from her tubes. She was three limes hulled, but fortunately no one was hurt by the shot, the only accident on board being caused by the back- lire from a rocket- tube having exploded several rockei s, by which one man was seriously and several others slightly burnt. Meanwhile the Encounter had beeu signalised to bear down to the assistance of the boats, but as she was about to do so she saw another fleet of junks coming down Sulphur Creek, evidently with the intention of engaging the Niger and Encounter, and so preventing them from rendering assistance to their consorts farther down the river. This latter batch, some 20 junks, was speedily disposed of and driven helter- skelter whence they came; but the Encounter most unfortunately got aground, and so was unable to intercept the louver division of 120 junks, which, though severely handled, retreated in good order iyto the creek, and are now at anchor with others who have since joined them, forming a fleet of 300 to 400 sail, up the Fuh- shah Creek, about amile aud a half from the main branch of the river, ready to pounce upon any unfortunate vessel that may strike upon tne sunken junks opposite the creek in which they are lying. With what intent the attack was made, whether to retake the Teatotum Fort, which is not likely, to drive away the Hornet and the Comus, and then block up the passage, which is most likeiy, or simpiy to try then* strength against tne steamer aud the sloop, in the expectation that, it being then low water, no assistance could be afforded them by the other steamers, it is impossible to say; but the time was exceedingly well chosen, and the Chinese showed no deficiency iu pluck, nor did they retire until warned of their danger by the appeal ance of the Encounter, and the rise iu the tide. " Besides the fatal accident to Mr Pearn, eight men are known to have been wounded. What course of proce- dure his Excellency Admiral Seymour may think fit to adopt in the present aspect of affairs it is impossible for any one to sur- mise; but there is very little doubt that his present visit to Hong Kong is for the purpose of consulting her Majesty's pleni- potentiary on the subject. That affairs are approaching a crisis must now be apparent to every one, and the adoption of active measures is no longer optional on our part, but matter of urgent arid imperative necessity. There is a rumour afloat of the ad- miral withdrawing entirely from Whampoa, but this we do not believe, considering it much more probable he wili increase his forces there, for the protection of the only dock in which his ships could be repaired. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. The Moniteur of Wednesday publishes the following correspon- dence :—" HONG KONG, JAN 15.— The English admiral, Sir M. Seymour, thought it advisable on the 12th to abandon the position he had taken up in the garden of the old factories. After blow- ing up the Dutch Folly Fort, which had hitherto been the centre of his operations against the town, he resolved to occupy only at Canton the fort known to strangers as the Bird's- nest Fort. Before leaving the intrenchments he had dug the admiral set fire to the outskirts which extend to the west and to the south- east of the factories. This measure, by isolating the walled town, renders it more accessible to the shells from a squadron. The fleet of the rebels has joined that of the Imperialists, to make common cause against the English; 600 war junks have assembled in the river. The Chinese seem determined to stop every inlet by sinking junks at the different bars of the Canton river. On the evening before the outskirts of Canton were set fire to— an operation which cost the English three kilied and some wounded— a numerous squadron of war junks attacked the trading steamer Fei- Ma, which was going down the river, but she escaped. The Chinese sent some twenty heavy shots into her hull. On the 13th the foreigners gave up the anchorage at Whampoa. The steamers which, protected by the ships of war, were towing away the floating habitations of the English and Americans were not yet out of sight when the Chinese com- menced pillaging everything left in the docks and in the dif- ferent houses situated on the water's edge, making no distinc- tion of property of this or of that nation. Honk Kong is under a real panic, which increases daily. The foreign residents of that colony have formed a sort of militia, and their patrols shoot every Chinese who shows himself in the streets or on the roofs after eight at night. When the mail left the whole European colony of Hong Kong appears to have been poisoned, and the family of Sir JohnBowring especially were suffering excrutiating agony. All the Chinese bakers had. fled. They are suspected of having poisoned the whole community. Happily no death had as yet ensued." " SINGAPORE, JAN 8.— Great alarm prevails at the European colony of Singapore, in consequence of the news from Canton and the excitement of the native population. Of the 100,000 inhabitants of Singapore there are not 300 Europeans capable of bearing arms, and not more than 800 sepoys. All the other in- habitants are naturally their enemies, and the Chinese, who constitute eight- tenths of the population, threaten the Euro- peans with fire and pillage. They have posted up a placard in the Chinese language in different parts of the town, offering 200 piastres for the head of the governor, or of the resident, the judge, or head of the police. This threat has not happily, as yet, been attended with any results. The foreigners have armed themselves, and ' keep vigilant watch by night to protect their property. On the 2d of J anuary the shops were closed in every part of the town ; the boatmen, coolies, and artisans refused to serve any Europeans. The public markets were not supplied with provisions, and all business was at a standstill. But there was more than passive resistance. The provisions destined for the foreign residents were intercepted, and threats were re- sorted to to preveut the shopkeepers from supplying food. The head of the police having induced one of them to open his shop, the Chinese attacked the house in a body, and in the struggle which ensued some of the police were seri- ously wounded. The energy displayed on this occasion by the governor finally restored order in the town." A new treaty has been concluded by Russia with China, by which the Russians have obtained still greater favours than ever. They have had ceded to them 3,000 acres in Chusan—( this was the place which we possessed and ought to have kept)— for a naval port and the establishment of commercial factories, and the confirmation of the privilege of a resident ambassador at the Court of Pekin, with the right of access to the imperial person from " henceforth and for ever," according to the wording of the treaty. The Pays says, " We learn by the latest news from China, under date of Dec 15, that the Court of Pekin had published a decree prohibiting all subjects of the Celestial Empire trom trading with the English. Disobedience will be punished with death," SAD NEWS OE DR KANE, THE ARCTIC VOYAGER.— American advices state that a despatch had been received, conveying sad intelligence of the intrepid Dr Kane. The despatch comes vi& Mobile, and is as follows:—" Havana, Feb 13,1857.— Dr Kane is still alive, but he can't last through the day. His mind keeps right. He has just left his friends and bidden his countrymen farewell.— W. MORTON." Mr Morton has been Dr Kane's faithful servant aud steward lor the last seven years, and accom- panied him twice to the Arctic regions. Dr Kane is 34 years of age. Mis disease arises from scurvy and exposure during his northern explorations. TRUE TEST AND VALUE OE TESTIMONIALS.— Good characters and testimonials of merits are sometimes inconsiderately given whers the writers would hesitate to employ the objects com- mended. Examples and proofs innumerable, in commercial, professional, and domestic life, are not wanting to establish this self- evident proposition. But a remarkable and singular contrast may be noticed in the numerous favourable opinions and com- mendations of Dr De Jongh's Light- Brown Cod Liver Oil by many distinguished and experienced medical men, who have themselves used this celebrated remedy, or prescribed it for their colleagues or members of their own families, thus affording the most unequivocal test of entire confidence in its superior curative and salutary properties. Amongst other eminent prac- titioners, Dr Edward Smith, Physician to the Brompton Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, observes :—, In expressing my opinion upon the merits of Dr De Jongh's Cod Liver Oil, I beg to say that during the past twelve months I have not prescribed any other in private practice, and that I have administered it exclu- sively and continuously to one of my own children." Mr Edg- cumbe, Surgeon to the Royal Dispensary Pimlico, says ;—" I have used Dr De Jongh's Oil in my own family with marked success, and believe it to be in its effects superior to any other preparation." And Mr Arthur Cridland, an eminent surgeon in extensive practice at Brighton, also states :—" Its effects on my- self in the latter stage of hooping cough, last winter, was re- markable.! I suffered from excessive irritation of the larynx, con- sequently I was greatly reduced in strength and appearance, and quite unable to attend to my professional duties. It occurred to me that the oil which 1 was frequently prescribing would benefit my own case, and after taking it a few days, its good effect com- menced, and at the end of six weeks I regained my usual health and strength, and had entirely lost the laryngial irritation, which was of a most harassing and fetafully distressing character."— Dr De Jongh's Oil is sold only in imperial half- pints, 2s 6d; pints, 4s 9d ; and quarts, 9s, capsuled and labelled with his stamp and oignature, without which none can possibly be genuine, by his sole British consignees, Ansar, Harford, and Co, 77, Strand, London, and in the country by many respectable chemists. Pro- posed substitutions of other kinds of cod liver oil should be strenuously resisted, as they proceed from interested motives, arid will result in disappointment to the purchaser. THE CYMMER COLLIERY EXPLOSION.— Jabez Thomas, Row- land Rowlands, and Morgan Rowlands, who were tried at Swan- sea on Monday, charged with the manslaughter of William Tho- mas, Samuel Edmonds, and another, on the 15th of July last, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Times correspondent confirms the general belief that the King of Prussia means to try a swindling trick on Switzerland ; and as to the part which the French Emperor has taken in the matter, he writes :—" His Imperial Majesty finds he has gone too far in lecturing the poor Swiss, as he took the liberty of doing when he thought he had the King of Prussia all to him- self, and in pledging himself to the Swiss that all would be right. He finds now that all is not right. Then the King of Prussia is angry that Dr Korn should have proclaimed in all the " caba- rets" of the Confederation that the Emperor of the French showed him his private and confidential letters, in which the descendant of the Great Frederick was understood to pledge his word that if the prisoners were set free renunciation would fol- low. These effusions were of course most amicable. Then, again, the Federal Government is annoyed that the hopes it held out to the Cantons are not yet realised; the Cantons are indig- nant, and feel that they have been duped. Russia has not named her Plenipotentiary; until that is done no day can be fixed for the opening of the Conferences, and people begin to suspect that there is an understanding on this point between Berlin and St Petersburg. The King is also vexed that the Royalists should, before they were liberated, have signed a de- claration that on their restoration to their country they would abide by the laws of the Canton of Neufchatel; and his Majesty profits by every circumstance to avoid fulfilling his promise, or what was entirely understood as a promise. The Emperor of the French is much to blame in this affair ; the moment the prisoners were liberated he should, without any delay, have summoned the King of Prussia to keep his word! He showed bad taste and no small ingratitude towards the Swiss in the beginning; the best way of redeeming his error was to have compelled his prevaricating ' brother' to perform his part of the implied bargain." The Bishop of Moulins has acted very tyrannically towards cer- tain parish priests in his diocese, and now defies the authority of the Council of State. A great many of the residents in the department have come to Paris to support the cause of the suspended cures. They bring with them two petitions to the Emperor, bearing 3,166 signatures. The present Bishop of Moulins is Mgr de Dreux Br6z6, is an unusually young man for so high a position in the Church, and was raised to the bench in 1850, through the influence of his friend, Count de Falloux. It is thought that he may find himself compelled to tender his resig- nation. Under the Government of Louis Philippe, the Bishops of Chalons and of Chartres were in the same manner brought before the Council of State, the action of which is confined to a simple declaration of abuse of power, with the suppression of the writings or acts leading to it. This is the first time during the present reign that the Council of State is about to have brought before it a question of appeal against the abuse of power of a bishop. In this matter the bishop really denies the authority of the Emperor, aud sets the Church above the State. Louis Napoleon is not likely to tolerate such a proceeding where he himself is concerned, but the quarrel is a kind of visitation to which he is justly subjected, for M Falloux was the Jesuit to purchase whose support he perverted the French army into an engine of oppression to the Romans. SPAIN. Lord Howden has protested on the part of England against M Gonzales' Bravo being sent'to England as ambassador. M Turgot has warned the Queen that the reception of the Duke and Duchess of Montpeusier at court will be distasteful to his master, the Emperor. The Queen is very fond of her sister, but we should not wonder that this impertinent protest of the French Ambassador will be much more attended to than that more reasonable one of the English envoy. An action has been brought by M Palet against the King Consort. The case was called on last week, and the captain- general is bound to take cognisance of all suits of private interest brought by foreigners against Spaniards ; and, on the day alluded to, it was M Sebas- tian Palet, a Frenchman, who had sent a summons to the King of Spain, and to his Majesty's father, Don Francisco di Paula, to appear and show cause why they should not pay to him a sum of nine millions of francs, which he affirmed were due to him for a special mission on which he was sent to Paris, in 1839, relative to the Spanish marriages. At the commencement of the pro- ceedings, the counsel for the defendants stated to the court that in consequence of certain arrangements liavingbeen just entered into between the parties, he had to ask for the postponement of the pleadings for the space of two months. This was consented to, much to the disappointment of the persons present. In sup- port of his demand, M Palet produces a written promise from the King to pay him liberally in the event of' the marriages taking place- It is in these terms—" I give you full powers, as had been given by my father, to take all the steps iu Paris neces- sary to further the marriage of the Queen of Spain with myself. I am aware of your ability, aud you may rest persuaded that everything you do will be ratified by my father and myself, and that all your expenses wili be repaid after my marriage, with the first disposable funds either by the treasury of the State or from the private funds of the palace." SWITZERLAND. Among the Royalists who have beeu arrested on a charge of a second conspiracy, is a certain Montaudon, one of the most notorious agents of the Prussian court. He had been ou a mis- sion to Morteau— a small Frenchtown on the frontier of Switzer- land— in order to concert with the exiled Royalists and de- serters there, a plan for another rebellion. On his return to Neufchatel, he endeavoured to get up an insurrection, and was consequently arrested by- the Republican people. The seven or eight hundred rebels and Prussian emissaries at Morteau are uuder the command of a M Chatelain. Numerous Royalist in- signia have been sent from Berlin to be distributed among them. The Federal Council at Berne have again— but, as yet, in vain— addressed to the French Government the demand that the rebels should be removed from the frontier into the interior. PERSIA. At five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the treaty of peace between England and Persia was signed by Lord Cowley and Ferukh Khan. PIEDMONT. A letter from Turin of February 24 says:—" The recent article against Piedmont iu the Milan Gazette is not to be at- tributed to the irresponsible rashness of a journalist, or to the ill temper of a functionary. It is part of a system, the object of which is to provoke Piedmont to assume a false position, with a view to gain diplomatic advantages over her. The Ministers understand it quite in this way, and, accordingly, not confining themselves to a reply in the Piedmontese Gazette, Count Cavour has thought fit to issue a diplomatic circular explaining the state of things, and instructing the representatives of Pied- mont how to act in all eventualities. The substance of this circular is as follows:— The Sardinian Government has seen with pain that certain semi- official Austrian journals express astonishment that King Victor Emmanuel did not send a repre- sentative to compliment the Emperor of Austria on his arrival at Milan. For this omission there were reasons so legitimate and so evident as to justify the conduct of Sardinia iu the eyes of all impartial persons. Sardinia has long been without any diplomatic representative at Vienna, and the restitution to tlie naturalised Sardinian subjects of the property sequestered by Austria has not yet been officially announced to the Court of Turin. To these old grievances ( which alone would have justi- fied the conduct of Sardinia) there is to be added the recent ex- pulsion of M Plezza, the senator, from Milan, on the day before the arrival of the Emperor and Empress. As to the Piedmontese journals ( which form one of the subjects of the complaints put forward by the Milan Gazette), the circular lays down a dis- tinction between absolute and free governments in regard to the press. If it be true that the Sardinian journals have been too violent in their polemics, the fact is to be attributed to indi- vidual indiscretion. But the menaces which the Austrian journals have repeatedly uttered against Piedmont have a very significant character, because they can only be considered as emanating from the Government itself. Such is very shortly the effect of the circular. It has been reported that Count Paar, the Austrian Envoy at Turin, has asked for his passports. The statement is premature, but a grand meeting of imperial coun- cillors was lately held at Milan, in which the Piedmontese question was discussed. The chief editor of the Armonia, the organ of the ultra- clerical party at Turin, was tried by a jury on the 26th ult, for insults against the person of the King, and condemned to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000f. NAPLES. Tuesday, the 24th of February, was the anniversary of the King's swearing to observe the constitution " in the name of the Omnipotent God, one and three, to whom it is given to read the depths of the heart." During the night, notwithstanding the sleepless vigilance of the police, tricoloured placards were attached to the walls in all parts of the city, and dropped in the Theatre of San Carlo. They were collected by the soldiers on guard, and intelligence of the fact was telegraphed to Caserta, Orders were returned to put the 2d Regiment of Grenadier Royal Guards in arrest in barracks, with a view to institute strict inquiries. One placard of three colours, red, white, and green, has the following inscription on the central white divi- sion :—" By the undying memory of the Constitution of the 29th January, 1848, falsely sworn to on the Holy Book, on the 24th February, 1848 ; the Neapolitans protest." Many arrests have been made, but as yet no author or printer of the placard has been discovered. UNITED STATES. The Dallas- Clarendon treaty is laid by until the 5th of March, on the first day of the new administration; it appears that all the southern members opposed it, owing to the slavery clause regarding Honduras.— The Netherlands extradition treaty had passed the Senate.— Advices from Washington state that Mr Buchanan had not completed his Cabinet. The French Minister had demanded from the Government compensation for the injuries to the French residents during the bombardments of Greytown. MEXICO. According to intelligence from Mexico, dated February 1, the treaty signed between the United States and Mexico provides that the former shall lend Mexico fifteen million dollars, of which three millions go to pay American claims, and the United States are to have a mortgage on the customs revenue, and to re- ceive 15 per cent of the duties.— The Representative Chamber at Mexico has declared itself en permanence. NEW SOUTH WALES. The Maid of Judah, Captain Merchant, which left Syd- ney for London on the 27th of November, arrived at Ply mouth on Saturday week, and landed a mail from Sydney and New Zealand. Gold averages £ 316s 6d per oz. The season was bad, but the produce is increasing. The total amount brought by the western, southern, and northern escorts from Jan 1 to Nov 22 was 109,511oz. Wool was coming down slowly, in consequence of the bad condition of the roads. A great rise has taken place in shares of the Bank of New South Wales and the New South Wales Marine Assurance shares. The Maid of Judah left Sydney Nov 27, rounded the Horn Dec 27, and crossed the Equator Jan 25. She experienced strong and constant north- east winds from 30 deg N to the Channel. On Feb 12, lat 37.10 N., Ion 41.5 W., she rounded the ship Rover's Bride, of St John's, New Brunswick, timber- laden, water- logged, and abandoned; hull in apparently good order, bulwarks carried away, deck- house washed down, main hatches open, boats gone, and one anchor on forecastle ; topmast gone and foreyards in the slings, main and mizen yards alaft, main- mast head broken off by the rigging. This fine- looking ship had been but recently abandoned. There were no barnacles or sea grass of any kind on the vessel; she is about 900 tons, and right in the track. of homeward bound vessels. for the shareholders at the meeting appointed for Thursday next when an explosion took place at the colliery, by which 114 per to express an opinion upon it, 1 sons were unfortunately killed, have been aeauitted. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.— A numerous meeting of the creditors and depositors of the Royal British Bank was held last week at Evans's Hotel, Covent- garden, Dr J, G. Waller in the chair, and, after some discussion, a motion was unanimously carried—" That the following resolution be proposed as an amend- ment to the resolution that a compromise be concluded between the shareholders and depositors in the Royal British Bank, in the circular letter of Messrs Linklater, of the 26th ult:—' That this meeting is of opinion that it is not expedient to accept any offer of a composition from the shareholders of the Royal British Bank until an official statement has been laid before the depositors of the actual pecuniary resources of the shareholders, nor without receiving the most ample and satisfactory security for the pay- ment of any composition, should any offer from the shareholders to that effect be accepted by this meeting.'" THE ASHOVER BURGLARY.— The prisoner, Thomas Wootton, charged with the burglary at the house of the Rev Joseph Nod- der, at Marsh Green, Ashover, was brought up on Monday before two magistrates of the county, at the Greyhound Inn, Ashover. The prisoner, who is still very lame, was seated dur- ing the examination. He was very pert, and during the examina- tion he asked the court to allow him to get his dinner. Miss Heeley, the young lady who was injured by the fall through the window, is progressing very favourably, though not at present convalescent. Mr and Mrs Nodder gave evidence, and other witnesses also proved the identity of the prisoner, who was fully committed for trial. A CHINA BASIN EOR SIR JAMES GRAHAM.— The pathetic !

THE COLOURS OP THE GUARDS.— The colours of the 3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards, the 1st battalion of the Cold- stream Guards, and the 1st battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards, borne by those regiments during the late war in the Crimea, were on Friday week deposited in the military chapel adjoining the Wellington barracks in Birdcage- walk. Major- General Lord Rokeby, K. C. B., and many of the officers of the three regiments of the Guards who served during the late war were present at the ceremony. After placing the colours in the building, the three bands of the Guards played the National Anthem. MOVEMENTS OE TROOPS.— The 2d Dragoon Guards, which has been tinder orders for foreign service for some months past, embarked on Tuesday on board the Trafalgar and Prince steamers, at the North- wall, Dublin, for Liverpool, en route for India. The troops, which comprised seven officers and 330 soldiers of all ranks, marched from the Royal Barracks alongthe quays headed by the band of the regiment, and followed by a large crowd of persons, who cheered loudly as the regiment pro- ceeded. On arriving at the North- wall the troops were formed into line, and were inspected by the Right Hon, Lord Seaton, attended by a brilliant staff and cavalry escort. The 3d Dragoon Guards embarked the same day en route for Canterbury. DEATH OE LIEUT.- GENERAL CALVERT.— We regret to an nounce the death of Lieut.- General Feiix Calvert, C. B., Colonel of the 90th Regiment. General Calvert entered the service in 1807, aud served iu the expedition to Sweden in the following year. He was aftmv& rds at Corunna, in the Waicheren expedi- tion, at Barossa, Vittoria, and San Sebastian. In 1814 he pro- ceeded to America, where he shared in the active operations then going on, and returned to Europe in time to be present at the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo, as well as the capture of Paris. The colonelcy of the 90th is vacant in consequence of General Calvert's decease. TROOPS FOR CHINA.— Orders were received at Plymouth on Thursday to prepare, with the utmost despatch, the Sanspareii, Himalaya, and another vessel, for the conveyance of reinforce- ments, ammunition, & c., to the China station. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENTS OF SHIPS OF WAR.— The Retribution, 2S, paddle, with the Grinder gun- boat in tow, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday week. Trie same day the Nimrod, 6, screw, sailed on a trial cruise. The Retribution left Portsmouth on Monday, it is said, for China — The America, 50, is to be got ready for the flag of Rear- Admiral P. W. P. Wallis, appointed to . the com- mand- in- chief of the southeast coast of America, and when ready she will proceed to relieve the Indefatigable at Rio, with the flag of Admiral Hope Johnstone.— Lieutenant John Ward ( b), 25th October, 1856, has left Sheerness for Woolwich, and commissioned the new steam yacht Emperor, for the purpose of conveying her to Japan, as a present from her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria to the Emperor of Japan. The Em- peror is being fitted up in most elaborate style, as regards her hull, machinery, and cabins aud saloon accommodation, with all the new improvements for culinary purposes. Lieutenant Ward was recently in command of the iron paddle wheel steam vessel Princess Alice, when she was attached to the squadron that ac- companied the British Ambassador to St Petersburg. After delivering up the Emperor at Japan, Lieutenant Ward will sur- vey certain parts of the coast of Japan.— The Dauntless, 33, screw, Capt Ryder, has arrived at Portsmouth from the Medi- terranean; she is to be paid off on Monday.— The Royal Sove- reign, screw three- decker, 131 guiis, built in Portsmouth dock- yard, will be launched about the lltii of April, according to present arrangements. The Prince of Wales, another screw three- decker, in an adjoining slip, is in a very forward state, and is expected to be the next launched. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD.— The extensions and improvement of the dockyard at Pembroke are this year to be carried out to the extent of £ 120,000. The widening of the entrance dock is to cost £ 8,060, and the lengthening and widening of the dock which has been so long in hand is to cost £ 20,000 this year. The two ne w slips and the boat basin extending along the wharf are also to be vigorously carried on, and these, with provision for scour- ing away the mud between the Carr Spit and the dockyard bank in front of the dockyard, will cost £ 30,000. It is proposed to improve the navigation iti front of the yard, and to deepen and widen very materially the channel. This wili be done by re- moving large quantities of mud, which have beea for years ac- cumulating. The roof over slip No. 12 is to be extended seaward, and altogether the sum appropriated for this will be £ 10,000. The erection of larger sawmills, eugine- house, workshops, a new foundry, and plumbers' shops is to cost upwards of £ 20,000. The sawmills are advancing towards completion, aud the sheds over Nos. 1 and 2 are being extended seaward. The foundry is to be erected on the site of the old iron store. The new slips are being constructed in the best manner, The bed is of limestone and the copings of granite, and the whole is being laid down most satis- factorily. The work of each contractor is performed under the superintendence of an inspector, who sees that it is done in a proper manner. APPOINTMENTS.— Captain: E.

Mr Keeley, as Old Rapid, gives a highly- coloured picture of the blunt, honest citizen, somewhat soporific in his habits, not very brilliant in his in- tellect, but overflowing with that kindly sentiment which was so popular at the close of the last century; and for the " go- ahead" propensities of Young Rapid, expressed in his slang phrase, " Push on, keep moving," a more volatile representative could not be found than Mr Charles Mathews. The talents of both are most amusingly exhibited in the scene where Mr Vor- tex, one of those obsolete personages called a " Nabob," at- tempts to rehearse his Parliamentary speech in the presence of the father and son, and is shocked to find that the former drops fast asleep, whilst the latter is provokingly disposed to think of anything iii the world rather than the specimen of oratory with which he is favoured. Mr Keeley assumes to perfection that aptitude for dozing which belongs to a corpulent form, a sense of worldly prosperity, and a not very familiar acquaintance with the demands of etiquette; and Mr Mathews embodies the ner- vous restlessness of a man whose mental activity is revealed by the perpetual movement of his limbs and his utter inability to fix his attention to any given subject for five whole minutes. The pomp with which Mr Tilbury delivers the speech contributes much to the effect of the situation. But the boldest effort is the impersonation of Frank Oatlands by Mrs Keeley, who not only speaks the rustic dialect, but makes of herself the thorough boy, strong in affection, and quick of resentment. This model of rural virtue has generally been a full grown man, and doubtless the author of the piece would have been greatly astonished had he seen a lady come forward as the representative of bluff, un- sophisticated honesty. But Mrs Keeiey showed herself tho- roughly equal to the difficulties of the position, and by manner and appearance gave a juvenile interpretation to the text, which is quite as correct as any other, aud which she sustained with perfect consistency throughout. The stately Miss Vortex was played by Mrs F. Matthews, and the two young damsels, Jessy Oatlands and Ellen, were sufficiently interesting in the hands of Miss M. Oliver and Miss Cleveland. It is needless to say the piece was completely successful. LYCEUM THEATRE—" Don Csesar de Bazan" was revived here on Monday night, and has a fair chance of becoming as popular as the " King's Musketeers," for if Mr Dillon could keep his public in a state of hilarity by his impersonation of the dauntless and ever hopeful Gascon, he is equally pleasant as the careless Count of Garofa, who throws away his life as readily as he runs through his estate, but when he finds that two hours are guaranteed is determined to enjoy them to the last. Nor is he less effective in the better portion of the play, when the dilapidated Don, whose only serious thought was of creditors— to him far more formid- able than death by rope or bullet— becomes one of those Cas- tilian husbands whom Calderon and Rojas loved to delineate. The lesson to the king is given in the best spirit of plain- speak- ing independence. MARYLEBONE THEATRE.—" The distinguished, talented, and eccentric comedian," we quote from the playbills, " Sir William Henry Don, Baronet, lieutenant in her Majesty's fifth regiment of Guards, and aide- de- camp to the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland," appeared on Wednesday night at the above theatre as Bail lie Nicol Jarvie, in " Rob Roy." His Baillie Jarvie was a sound and excellent piece of acting, more simple and natural, and fuller of quiet humour, than that of any one we have ever seen in the part since the days of its original and inimitable representative— the representative after Walter Scott's own heart— Mackay, of the Edinburgh Theatre. Mackay, when he essayed the char racter in London, failed, or at least was coldly received. The Londoners were unable to perceive the exquisite truth of his picture, and preferred the Cockney caricatures of Liston or Harley. Sir W. Don's delineation is not so highly wrought as Mackay's, but possesses similar qualities in a lower degree. He is too tall; but his " make up" was good, and he looked the part, on the whole, very well. His Glasgow dialect was perfect; and his whole demeanour— his fussy importance, his good- natured testiness, his air of perfect self- satisfaction— were all quite in keeping with the worthy Baillie of the Saut Market. Indeed the whole performance was so good that, remembering the fate of poor Mackay, we were rather surprised it was received so well; for it drew a very full house, and was applauded to the echo. The piece was respectably got up. Mr Emery is a good melo- dramatic actor, and made a stalwart freebooter. Diana Vernon, a mere singing part, was performed by Miss Emily Sanders, a young lady with a rich contralto voice, but little musical culti- vation. However, she has taste and feeling, and, in the Scottish ballads, warbled her wood- notes wild very prettily. The rest of the music— the concerted pieces especially— was murdered, and had much better be left out. On the whole, " Rob Roy," with Sir W. Don's Baillie, is well worth going to see. CASINO DE VENISE, HIGH HOLBOEN,— On Thursday next there will be another bal masque at this most popular and fashionable place of amusement, for the benefit of Mr Packer, the conductor of the excellent band, which of itself would be sufficient to ensure an overflowing company, setting aside the other attractions of these masquerades, which are always so well conducted. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— The Napoleon room in the establishment has just been completed, and now represents an apartment of the most splendid description, the chamber being surrounded with elegant mirrors and paintings, depicting the achievements^ the great Napoleon. The group contained in this room represents Napoleon the First, Alexander the First ( Emperor of Russia), the late Emperor of Austria, Frederick William the Third, King of Prussia, Murat, King of Naples, and Prince Blucher. EXPLOSION AT THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.— ON Wednesday the inquiry respecting the deaths of William Beck- ingham, aged 25, John Jackson, aged 14, and Mr James Beck- with, aged 56, who were killed at the recent explosion of the fog- signal factory of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, was resumed before Mr C. C. Lewis, one of the Essex coroners, at the Railway Tavern, Stratford. The coroner summed up, and the jury, after some deliberation, returned the following special verdict:—" That the deceased came to their deaths by an explosion of gunpowder, but as to how such explosion was caused the jury have no evidence before them. And the jury are of opinion that the greatest negligence has been exhibited in conducting the manufacture of the fog- signals, and the most ordinary precautions have been neglected for protecting the lives of the workmen. That the factory building was unsuited for the purpose of the manufactory, and placed in a position highly dangerous to the workmen on the works, the passengers by the company's trains, and the surrounding neighbourhood." STUDENTS' ROWS AT EDINBURGH.— Some singular disturb- ances occurred in Edinburgh last week. Professor Laycock was invited, by a local Total Abstinence Society, to lecture on drunk- enness. He did so, but to the annoyance of his inviters, he con- demned the Maine Law, the Forbes Mackenzie Act, and all the other means of repression by act of Parliament. The prominent members of the society replied on the spot to his assertions, and rather warmlv repudiated his teachings. This irritated the students of the University, who resented the discourtesy to a favourite professor. New " Temperance" lectures were adver- tised, and the total abstinence advocates promised to " dissect Dr Laycock." But the students packed the hall, and made a hearing impossible. They also paraded the streets, burning copies of obnoxious papers. This led to rioting and stone- throwing for two or three successive nights, but the excitement seems now to have subsided. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in London have exhibited a slow but constant decrease during the four weeks of February. In the week that ended last Saturday the total number registered was 1,216. The corrected average is 1,263. The result is a dif- ference of 47, showing that the rate of mortality last week was rather below the average.

Since Monday only moderate supplies of English Wheat have come to hand, coastwise aud by land- carriage.

SEEDS.— Linseed was taken slowly, but not on lower terms. Rape- seed for sowing was more inquired alter and brought high rates. The imports of Cloverseed have been tolerably good, and a continued demand is yet kept up, prices being quite as high for all useiui qualities of red, those of English ranging trom 5:> b to 96s per cwt. White samples are steady i; i value and demand. Trefoil was fully as dear ana in fair re- quest. Ciuiaryseed sold slowly, and at rather lets money. Saufoinwas both dear and ready sale.

PROVISION MARKET— During the past week the trade in English Butter lias been quite inanimate, and nothing but good fresh quality show any possibility of being disposed of. Of the last mentioned there is an increasing supply, witn a steady demand prevailing. Ii ish Butter is lifeless, the variation in prices is so great, that we cannot quote cor- rectly. About 112s demanded for Carlows, ites Limerick, Tralee Corks 96s, Kilrush and Ennis 94s to 96s. Good suitable qualities of Foreign Butter hnd buyers readily; the hoiders ot inferior sorts being unable to do business,— Frieeland 12< js, surplus 116s to 118s, seconds and Gronin- gen 84s to 92s, Zwoll 120s to — s, Karnpen 132s to i24s, Holland 94s to 98s, fine Bosch 104s to 106s, inferior Sis to 98s, stubble Kiel 9Ss to 108s, new mild Jersey 116s, French ( H'ish) fa2s to 94s, ditto ( Dutch) 86s to 98s.

WOOL MARKET, FRIDAY.— The Colonial Wool sales have pro- ceedtdwith animation since the opening, the qualities most in demand being fine Sydney and Moretou Bay Wools. The advance, in compari- son with the last series, is now lj. i to 2d on Cape, and 2d to 3d per lb 011 Australian. This rise has considerably influenced the English Wool trade, and holders refuse lo sell unless at a corresponding enhancement; but the transactions are so few it is impossible to state what are the actual current prices.

LEATHER MARKET, FRIDAY.— The supply of fresh Leather at Leadenhall this week has been only moderate. An active demand has prevailed for nearly all descriptions at fully late rates. Craps, light English and heavy Foreign butts have been most in request, at a fur- ther improvement in value. Common dressing bides and light skins have also had an active inquiry, ana in some instance have met with an advance of id to Id per lb. In kips, horse hides, and offal there is no al . eration worthy of notice. English and Foreign shoulders are wanted.

HORSE EXAMINATIONS, CERTIFICATES, & c. MR EDITOR : I quite agree with your able correspondent," Mr Goodwin." that the certificate system is a great grievance, and requires redress. Will you kindly publish the following facts in your paper, as it is high time that this great nuisance and loss to the breeders of horses were exposed. I am [ in possession of four certificates given on the 4th aud 6th November last, from four of your leading veterinary surgeons, about one horse. First, one says the horse is lame behind fro> n a bony enlargement of the near hock ( spavin), and, in consequence, unsound. Another says the horse is lame behind from an enlargement round the coronet of both legs, and diseased in his respiration, commonly called whistling; no other defects can he see. Another says the horse is lame before from chronic disease of both feet; and the next says the muscles of his neck are stiff; he cannot get his head to the ground, and diseased in his wind. You would say, if such is the case, a precious screw he must be; he would cer- tainly require no very acute knowledge of horses to find him out. Now this very animal was sold in less than a fortnight after with a warranty of soundness for three months, ia fact a guarantee. He has been hard hunted the whole of the season, and never found to bo the least lame or amiss; so far for certificates. I could almost fill a side of your paper with similar cases, which shews that there is a great want of either judgment or honesty in the profession. Whena dealer finds he has purchased a horse too dear, or that he cannot sell liim so soon as he wishes, his cant term is that he will'' have the ruler over him." I have heard it many times. He is consequently sent to a veterinary surgeon, and the man that takes him says " master wants you to examine this horse, sir ; he thinks he is unsound." The consequence is, an exami- nation takes place, which is quite a farce; a certificate is given of unsoundness, and the horse is returned to the poor unfortu- nate breeder. But should the horse be sold the man says " this horse is sold, sir; master wants you to examine him before he goes ;" then, in themajority of cases the animal is^ sound. Should the veterinary surgeon not give certificates as near as required, few half- guineas fall to his share, and they amount to something considerable in the course of a year, from some of the large Lon- don dealers. When Mr Spooner examined nearly the whole of the horses that were sent to the Veterinary College, the dealers would not allow a horse to be sent there if they could help it; not because they thought Mr Spooner lacked knowledge, but because he would give au honest opinion, and not be biassed by any one. If the pupils of Professor Coleman and Professor Spooner would follow their example more than they do, they would find it to their advantage, and the profession would be raised in the opinion of all men, and not lowered, as it is at the present day.— Yours, & c, MIDLAND COUNTIES.

WORCESTER SUMMER MEETING— The programme of this meeting, sustaining to the letter the well- known liberality of the committee, will be found in our front page. There are already 80 subscribers to the Worcestershire Stakes, and as the fixture now stands clear of Newmarket, and virtually has a week to itself, there is every reason for anticipating the fullest success. The establishment of a Produce Stakes has been acquiesced in and supported by many of the principal trainers and owners of horses in the kingdom, and hereafter will constitute an impor- tant attraction. It is intended to have a day's racing at Ilsley on the 30th inst. The programme will be found in our front page. The Wye meeting is fixed for Wednesday, the 3d of June. The Somersetshire Stakes at Bath closes on Tuesday next.

Mr B. Austin has sold his five yearlings by Woolwich to Mr St John, and they are gone into Warrener's stable at Ilsley. Mr R. Sparkes, of the Queen's Head, Truro, has sold Clumsy to Mr John Morgan, of Hayes, Glamorganshire,. Mr C. Bland of Boston has purchased Mortimer from Mr Gre- ville, and he will stand in Lincolnshire this season. W. Grimmer, the light weight, has received another " re- tainer," being engaged to E. Jones's stable, after his own and Lord Wilton. Died, at Newmarket, on Sunday last, much respected, in his 42d year, Mr F. L. Bloss, for many years landlord of the Crown Inn. EXTRAORDINARY ACTION.— Dame Boynton, widow of the late Sir Henry Bo. vnton, has through his executors, brought a curious action against Mr Henry Robinson, the owner of'Mel- toourne, to recover the sum paid for having a mare of hers served hy the above horse, on the ground that he had received more mares than he had contracted to do, and in consequence her mare was not in foal. Several similar actions have been brought on the same grounds against Mr R,, but they have all been com- promised, and no small amouut of interest is attached to the present action, which will be tried at York Assizes. THE DONCASTER SPRING AND j SALISBURY MEETINGS. TO THE EDITOR OE BELL'S LIFE. SIR: Hitherto the flat racing has possessed but moderate in- terest, few of the stakes which have been decided being of a character to influence future events, or draw out the chief sup- porters of the Turf. The ensuing week, however, presents a very different aspect, and both in the north and south- west dis- tricts two very attractive meetings will be held, at which, for the first time this season, we shall be enabled to take stock of the " Nurseries" of the Whitewall, Middleham, Woodyates, Findon, and Danebury stables. Unless the political crisis inter- feres we shall probably witness the coming- out of many of the aristocracy of the Turf, whose presence gives a tone to racing which cannot be too much encouraged. What Doncaster is to the north Salisbury is to the south— a fit trysting place whereat the great stables should meet and put forth their strength, and measure their teams for their own and their owners' satisfaction. By the handicaps also some ligkt is thrown on those races to come whose names figure in the Tattersall's lists, so that there is every inducement ts " assist" at them, and to judge for oneself the real state of affairs in each stable. The Doncaster Spring Meeting is one at which good sport is invariably displayed, ahd although there are several descrip- tions of races decided, it is useless to conceal that its speciality is the " Hopeful," the result of which is regarded by trainers with more anxiety than any other event; and its suggestion was a most happy one for the fortunes of the meeting. Last year, it will be recollected, the attendance was of the most meagre character, as the townsfolk and the neighbourhood took offence at the abolition of the Steeple Chase, and resented it by their staying away altogether from the course, and refusing to con- tribute to the fund ; biit now, as their wishes have beeu con- ciliated, and a considerable number of nominations obtained to the Handicap, I expect to see a large muster, of that fine body of n. en the yeomen of Yorkshire, who, sportsmen from their cra- dles, are not to be matched in any country in the world, either as cultivators of the soil, or the generous patrons of every manly amusement. These are the class of men, I submit, Sir, whose taste it is most desirable to cultivate, and as steeple chasing is akin to racing,, any measure that would bring them more in connection with the Turf should be encouraged, although it is not quite en regie to witness a steeple chase in a programme like that of Doncaster ; yet, under the circumstances which I have pointed out, its continuance should be viewed more leniently than it might be at another place. The list, however, is of a length that prohibits further prefatory observations, and to a consideration of its main points I will now direct the attention of your readers, whose interests must have been benefited by the " hints" which " Observer" has already thrown out to them in these columns. The Trial Stakes will be the first event decided, but of the fifteen subscriptions, I see nothing likely to beat Odd Trick and Centurion. The Doncaster Spring Handicap had fifty animals weighted for it, of which number twenty- eight declared " contents," and the weights have been raised eleven pounds. Artillery is " loaded" up to the muzzle with 8st 31b, and would not, I think, be brought out while the stable have more attractive metal of a lighter calibre. The field, I apprehend, will be made up of Vandal, Merlin, Courteuay, Cossey, Greencastle, Lawn, Miss Harkaway, The Martlet, Special Licence, and Codrington. Of these, Vandal, if worth one half of the reserved price put on him at Tattersall's a month back, ought to take a great deal of stalling off. Merlin likes the course, and is sure to stay over it, but his being advertised for sale does not look as if his party thought he had this race in him. Courtenay is a whistler, and would prefer his gallop shortened at least half a mile. Cossey, having won it twice, must expect to be bowled out in the third innings. Greencastle can stay, but has got more weight than he can give away to others. Lawn and Warlock, as two year olds, were within a neck of each, aud if the former were in the same form as the latter, Wadlow would find in him a second Alonzo. Miss Harkaway may run better than at Liverpool, but appears to have trained off since last year. Night Hawk was once thought well of, but the distance is quite beyond his forte. The Martlet was two stone worse than Assayer at Kelso, which is not good enough to win. Special Licence is not worth " taking out," but Codrii. gton gave such promise last season of making a good three year old, that, with his light weight, if he can gallop at all, he ought, like his namesake at Greenwich, to be at the " head of the poll." The Hopeful Stakes has the unprecedented number of sixty- three nominations, and nearly every northern and southern stable will have a representative at the post. Last year no fewer than eighteen ran, and five or six of them made one of the finest finishes of the season; and now au equally good field may be calculated upon. To be bold enough, among so many " darkies," to attempt to name the absolute winner, would indicate more presumption than I can lay claim to; and there- fore I shall merely remark that, if anything beats Heroine, the winner of the Yearling Stake at Shrewsbury last autumn, I think it will be Melita, Terrific, Soothsayer, Tom Linn, or Flybyday. The Chesterfield Plate lias thirty entries, the most favourably weighted of which appear to me to be Breeze, Baroda, aud Little Cob. The Betting Room Stakes will be in a great measure deter- mine d bythe issue of the Hopeful, but if that race does not pro duce a very great " clipper," I think Melita will prove equal to the task set down for her. The other events in this excellent programme are still open. Salisbury fills up as usual the Thursday and Friday, and per- haps it was difficult, since the change in the date of the meeting has been- held, to select two less objectionable days, as the dis- tance between the two scenes of action is too remote for them to clash; and the " home stables" are quite sufficient to furnish enough horses for each place. Formerly the Salisbury meetings for dulness were without a precedent, and the three or four trainers whe used to patronise the races cut out the various stakes among themselves. Mais nous axons change tout cela, and the support now given to " OldSarum" bythe formation of the Wantage, Findou, and Woodyates establishments has led to a great improvement in the bill of fare, and some very in- teresting " square" racing. The cards for this year wili each of them contain five races, which, considering the season of the year, and the locale of the race course, is as much as any one could desire. The Two Year Old OlrtBiennial first claims attention. It has fifteen entries of the most fashionable blood, none of which have appeared in public, so that I must leave your readers to exercise their own judgment in picking out the winner, in which task the money market will greatly aid them. To the Wiltshire Stakes there are seventeen acceptances, a larger number than might have been expected from the recep- tion the public gave the handicap upon its appearance. Those that will pay the full stake I apprehend will be Poodle, Lyming- ton, Tame Deer, Tam o'Shanter, Worcester, Bannookburn, Madame Rachel, Ombra, and Dardanelles, and without going through my calculations with your readers, I shall venture to anticipate the success of Madame Rachel or Tam o'Shanter, The Three Year Old Biennial has fourteen nominations, and if Arsenal and Tricolour fight their last year's battle over again the interest will be far greater than their original encounter created. It will be remembered that, the horse then won, al- though said to be wholly unprepared; but I have a strong sus- picion now that the tables will be turned, and " The Tricolour float over the Arsenal." The Longford Castle Stakes has closed with twelve names of colts and lilies, trained in the neighbourhood, but as they are all strangers to me I must decline venturing an opinion upon their merits. The Wilton Park Stakes has twenty- two subscriptions, and usually leads to a good field and plenty of speculation. Five of the entries are from Danebury, and a similar number from Woodyates, a circumstance which at the present time perfectly justifies me in not venturing to anticipate their respective trials iu private.— Yours, & c, OBSERVER.

A large number of people were in attendance, and after the match the prisoner and several others, all of them strangers to Bath, collected a crowd around them. Presently the prisoner snatched a gold watch from tho pocket of Mr Green, of the Exeter Inn, Bath, but was immediately seized and thrown down, upon which he handed the watch to another party, and it was returned to the owner. The prisoner then, by the aid of his friends, one of whom handed him a large knife, escaped through the crowd, and, being pursued, made his way to the river Avon, into which he plunged, and swain to the oppo- site bank. Here, however, by a lucky accident ho was brought to bay. Superintendent Wright, of the Chippenham police, happened to be driving along the Loudon road, and, having a view of what was going on upon the opposite side of the river, he alighted and ran down a field, arriving just in time to meet the prisoner as he emerged from the water. Though almost exhausted, and shivering with cold, the prisoner made a despe- rate resistance against the attempts of the superintendent and several labourers whom he had called to his assistance to cap- ture him. The knife fortunately was knocked from his hand, upon which he closed with the officer, and bit him in the arm and face in the most savage manner, tearing the flesh of one cheek so badly that the officer was afterwards obliged to go to the hospital to have it dressed. The prisoner was ultimately, with much difficulty, secured, and, tied hand and foot, was con- veyed to the Bath police station. As Superintendent Wright was unable to appear against him on Tuesday, the prisoner, who is unknown in Bath, was remanded, LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING. Stewards: The Earl of Sefton and Captain White. Clerk of the Course : Mr E. W. Tophaai. . Judge and Clerk of the Scales : Mr Horsley. Starter ; Mr Hibburd. If fine weather and numerous fields be any criterion, the racing season of 1857 may be said to have commenced auspici- ously ; although we have still to record a falling off in the ranks of the backers of horses, and, consequently a considerable flatness in speculation. At present, however, it is somewhat early to expect many gentlemen about, and- until we see what the first " grand meet" brings forth at Northampton at the end of the present month, it may be considered premature, perhaps, to indulge in lamentations upon that score, more especially as the Derby betting at " the Corner" throughout the winter, limited at the same time though it be, has beeu decidedly more exten- sive than for some years past. Let us both hope, therefore, that equal briskness may be manifested at the race meetings, and anticipate " better things," now that the iniquitous income- tax is to be reduced, and the country has no longer to provide for an expensive and ruinous war. The remarkable " open" weather since Christ mas has enabled trainers to do more work than usual at this early period; and we found, upon our arrival at Liverpool ou Monu& y afternoon, a larger number of horses had reached Aintree than at the more impor- tant meeting in July last year. The bill of fare was certainly a most attractive one on paper; and though the " Grand National" is considered the grand piece de resistance, we question if the fiat races on this occasion were not regarded with equal interest by the legitimate Turfites. The entries were the best ever known at the Spring Meeting here, except for the Steeple Chase, though that event could boast of close upon seventy subscribers, more than two- thirds of whom accepted the weights. Mr Top- liam, consequently, has every right to be proud of so high acom- pliment to his handicap; but we earnestly hope he will give way to public opinion, and never be tempted to issue so light a scale of weights agaiu. The phase of the race has become quite changed, aud, though flattering handicaps may serve to bring together a large field of broken down, worn out, misera- ble, patched up flat racers, the character of the once famous " Grand National" ought not to be sacrificed thereby. Nor is this the oniy evil, inasmuch as that many jockeys depending upon steeple chase riding for their living are deprived thereof owing to their inability to " get down" to such absurdly light weights. We are quite aware that no reasonable difference in weight will serve to bring good and bad horses together, but a range of three stone ought surely to be sufficient, and no steeple cliase handicap— the " Grand National" above all others— ought to commence under 12st 71b. The lowest weight w ® uld then be 9st 71b, and if a horse cannot carry that he ought not to be en- tered for a race originally intended to . improve the breed of weight- carrying hunters. Moreover, the race likewise suffers in interest in betting circles, and iu proof of this as- sertion we need only refer to the dulness which has characterised the proceedings on the present event at " the Corner" and other places, as recorded iu these columns, since it has been on the tapis. The " lions"— if we may use such a term— were Minos, Emigrant, Hopeless Star, Omar Pasha, and " Hughes' lot," until within a fortnight of the time when Escape for a long while " under suspicion" as a " safe- un," came into the market in earnest, and what with the stable money, and the eagerness of those to " get out" who had taken liberties with him, the horse rose to a very short price— as little as 9 to 2 being taken about him in Town on the Sunday before the meeting. With our Gallic neighbours the taste for steeple chasing seems to be on the increase, and in addition to the well- known names of Jean du Quesne ( late Augustine), Casse Cou ( late Needwood), and Lady Arthur, the " French di- vision" this year included Trembleur and Sting. The un- successful debut in this country of the former in the Hurdle Race at Derby held out no hopes of success at Liver- pool ; but Sting ( purchased with Kilkenny Boy in Ireland), had undergone a satisfactory preparation under H. Raekley's care at Leighton Buzzard, and was not only " fancied," but backed by her" owner, the Duke de Grammont and party, at outside prices, to win a large stake. The " Irish brigade," usually so formidable here, comprised Albatross, Garry Owen, Midge, and Waterfall— a sorry lot, without the remotest chance of a wan- derer discovering the " philosopher's stone" on this occasion. Of the other " Emerald Islanders" entered, The Rejected went amiss, and The Ivover and Wanderer fell lame a week or two previous to the meeting. Altogether, however, there were three or four and thirty horses on the spot engaged iu the steeple chase alone, aud a very large field was expected to show. Spe- culation on the race at the Subscription Room on Monday even- ing, however, was quite at a stand still. Some dozen mem- bers paid their admission fee, Wat after awaiting the arrival of the evening express from town, the voyageurs by which seemed in no way eager to invest their capital, the bookmakers took their deparature without having the opportunity of once using their " metallics." Liverpool was enveloped in a dense fog on Tuesday morning, but it " lifted" before noon, and the remainder of the day was remarkably fine, though somewhat chilly towards evening. We found a much better attendance at Aintree than on the first day last year, including several " Corinthians" who had not " as- sisted" at the Steeple Chase Meeting for several years. The Ring also mustered so numerously that there were far more bookmakers than backers, and what little betting took place on the day's racing the fielders had much the worst of, losing upon every race except the Selling Stakes, upon which scarcely half a dozen bets were laid. The course was in beautiful order, and at two o'clock the sport commenced with the Trial Stakes, to which some little interest was attached owing to Fisherman making his first appearance this season therein. His opponents comprised a wretched lot, and though somewhat lusty, the odds betted on " the crack," who has grown into a perfect picture, were never in jeopardy, Special Licence alone making the re- motest ' f shadow of a shade" of a race with him. Seven two year olds contested the Tyro Stakes, and three of the number— Knockburn. Polly Peachum, and Dispute— were rather strongly " fancied," the race, uever in doubt, being won easily by Polly Peachum. The Spring Cup brought out a field often, aud the meeting of Bashi Bazouk ( now the property of Sir Richard Bulkeley) ahd Gitana was regarded with some interest until the latter was stripped, when the backwardness of her condition was apparent, whilst Bashi Bazouk, on the contrary, looked so fit to run that he at once engrossed nearly all the favour in the Ring. The handicap produced a most exciting race, and resulted in the success of Bashi Bazouk by a head, thanks to the horse's gameness and the determined riding of Bullock, who, though tho favourite appeared so unmistakeably beaten half a mile from home that 100 to 10 was offered against him, fairly outgeneralled Rodburn at last, and literally " stole the race" from Mary when the victory was a second time within Mr Saxon's grasp. Scarcely half a dozen bets were laid on the Selling Stakes which succeeded, but those who persisted in meddling, burnt their fingers by laying 2 and 3 to 1 on the loser. The Aintree Plate, with which the racing terminated, brought out nine runners, and the ease with which Sir Humphrey won, must have satisfied his trainer that but for an unfortunate start the Nottingham Handicap might also have fallen to his share. From the little betting that took place on the Steeple Chase during the intervals of the racing, it was scarcely possible to credit the near approach of that great national event on the morrow. 11 to 2, and in some instances half a point more, was offered oil the field, and 10 to 1 bar one, whilst at one time 20 to 1 went begging about Hopeless Star, who, however, rallied seven or eight points, when it transpired that the slight accident which occurred to the train by the engine running off the rails in descending the incline into Birmingham had resulted in no more serious consequences than the removal of a small piece of skin from her nose when the concussion took place. The principal inquiries were after Teddesley and Little Charley, and 15 to 1 was taken about each to small sums, Forest Queen also having a few supporters at 20 to 1. Garry Owen and Squire of Beiisham were the only outsiders talked about. There was little im- provement in speculation at the Subscription Room in the even- ing, which was so badly attended that i* i was only from offers that we are enabled to make out the following list of prices on the Steeple Chase : 6 to 1 agst Escape 10 to 1 Minos ( tk) 10 to 1 Emigranttklltol) 100 to 8 Hopeless Star 14 to 1 Omar Pasha 15 to 1 Jean du Quesne 15 to 1 Teddesley 16 to 1 Little Charley 20 to 1 Romeo 20 to 1 Forest Queen 26 to 1 agst Freetrader 100 to 8 Sting 50 to 1 Lady Arthur 50 to 1 1000 to 15 to 1 Squire of Ben- sham Horniblow King Dan ( 1000 to 10 also laid) Hughes's Lot( tk 8 to 1) In the course of the day 1,000 to 10 was taken freely about Victor for the Derby. The town was in a state of great excitement throughout the night, owing to the attractions of the Grand Fancy Dress Ball, which was held at St George's Hall. Upwards of two thousand persons were present, and so rigidly were the directions of the committee enforced that every one appeared in court or fancy costume, or naval and military uniform. The spectacle was one of the most splendid ever witnessed, and the magnificence of the grand hall, which was converted into the salle de danse, appeared to strike with amazement the many strangers who honoured the fete with their presence. The whole arrangements certainly reflected the highest credit upon the managing commit- tee, amongst whom Mr Gilbert Winter Moss, who undertook the arduous and important office of treasurer, is entitled to special mention. An unpleasant change in the weather taking place during the night, Wednesday was ushered in with rain, which increased as the day advanced, though after the hour of noou it " held up," and excepting one or two heavy showers, the remainder of the day turned out propitious for the holiday folk, who, as on former anniversaries of this memorable event, mustered in large masses at Aintree, dense crowds, as usual, being sta- tioned at the most important leaps and favourite spots in the steeple chase course. The latter presented little change to last year, excepting that some of the fields which were then grass were now plough or seeds, but, as stated in our last, in order to make it as " light" as possible, Mr Topham took the precaution to have the principal portion by tho canal side, between Valentine's Brook and the race course, harrowed. The little rain which fell during the night and morning was scarcely sufficient to change the condition of the " going," but the jockeys universally complained of its being very heavy and tiring to gallop over. It struck us that the gene- ral attendance on the race course was not so large as usual, but within the Stand and iuclosure it is questionable if it was ever so good, though in the late Earl of Sefton's time, when the dis- tingue cavalcade used to arrive from Croxteth, headed by the well known yellow drag and chesnut team, tooled by his lordship, our list of company was far more extensive than the following which, if time permitted, might perhaps have been somew hat, extended, albeit including nearly ail the fashionables present, viz, the Earl of Howth, Lord Exmouth, Lord Coventry, Lord Lincoln, Hon S. Wortley, Sir George Arinytage, Sir Lydstone Newman, Duke de Grammont, Baron Monnecove, Baron La Motte, Viscount A. Talon, Viscount Lauriston, Lieut- Col King, Captain Little, Captain Goff, Captain W. Peel, Captain White, Capt Dickson, Major Jennings, Mr G. Payne, MrPadwick, & c. The ring was formed early in the inclosure, but, as at the Subscription Room in tho morning, business was unprece- dently flat; and beyond symptoms of further decline in Escape, and of advance iu Minos, Hopeless Star, Emigrant, Teddesiey, and Jean du Quesne, added to an outlay of £ 100 on old Maurice Daley at 40 to 1, we have nothing to record. The ringing of the bell shortly before two o'clock drew attention to the opening event on the card— a £ 50 Plate, for wkich Miss Harkaway was a " pot," and Lady Herculcs ( who extinguished her chance for the Aintree Plate the day before by running right round the course beforehand) an easy winner. The Steeple Chase, the second item on the card, was fixed for three o'clock, but it was nearly half- past two before the numbers, exhibiting a field of twenty- eight, were telegraphed. The absentees from those " coloured" on the card were Lough Bawn, Trembleur, Water- fall, and Harry Lorrequer, but the only declaration was about Lough Bawn, who was struck out at half- past two ; Black Swan had been scratched overnight at a quarter past eight. Owing to the lightness of the handicap, Tom Olliver, S. Darling, and one or two others were deprived of mounts, " Black Tom," after severe wasting, having failed to get down to lOst, to pilot Hope- less Star. During the operation of saddling, the usual interest was manifested to " take stock" of the different competitors, and the appearance of each was freely discussed. The backers of" Mr Hughes's lot" had four strings to their bow— all flat racers- two of which, Romeo and Treachery never ran in a steeple chase before; but both their owner, and Beii Land, who introduced another of the same category in Weathercock, expressed them- selves extremely confident— at all events of " getting a place!" Jean du Quesne's appearance was very different to last year, showing a most careful preparation; and the latter remark also applies to Escape, Emigrant, old Maurice Daley, Hopeless Star, Teddesley, and Omar Pasha ; whilst Minos struck us as being somewhat " light." It will be seen, however, that he left off first favourite with the decided call of Escape, who " smelt fishy." Hopeless Star and Emigrant were in strong demand at the last, and Teddesley, Jean du Quesne ( or " Johnny's Cousin,") and Romeo were also backed rather freely at our quotations; but Omar Pasha and Weathercock failed to maintain their previous prices. There was the usual mar- shalling in front of the Stand after the preliminary canters, and with Captain White and Mr Hibburd at their head, the im- mense field proceeded at a walk to the starting field beyond the racecourse. The start was not accomplished without two or three failures, when at precisely 26 minutes after the appointed time, the signal was given, and the race commenced amidst indescribable excitement, which was much increased owing to the inability to distinguish through the dull atmosphere the colours sufficiently to make out th< j positions of the leading horses and favourites in the race. The lat ter is described below as fully and correctly as time and the difficulties of the case enabled. Suffice it therefore to state that after Emigrant took up the run- ning from the Irish horse Garry Owen at the bottom of the race course the first time, the issue— bar accident— was never in doubt; nor, in fact, does the race present much opportunity for description, as from that point Emigrant made ail the running at a strong pace,— at times with a tremendous lead, which Boyce obtained by his clever judgment in taking a line of his own by the canal side each time in order to avoid the heavy land— dis- posed of the " flat racers" as they came to him one by one, even after the jumping was over, and won in gallant style by two lengths, thereby unmistakeably proving the fallacy of the pre- judice that existed in sporting circles respecting his " staying." The " flat racers" Weathercock and Treachery, nevertheless, obtained, as their owners predicted, places from the judge, who, from some inexcusable freak, refused to award the honour to Westminster and Dangerous, though both deserving it; thelatter, in fact, was decidedly " third best" in the race. " Further parti- culars" will be found elsewhere ; but it may not be out of place here to refer to the bad figure cut by each of the favourites, of whom Jean du Quesne shone most prominent, rutming about as forward at the finish as he did last year. Minos may be said to have been placed hors de combat soon after starting, through hitting his off fore leg iu jumping the third fence, as he went very " dicky" afterwards, and pulled up very lame. The race— a regular " tailing" one throughout, owing to the great pace at which it was run— was marred by several accidents, which, we regret to state, proved fatal to two of the Irish lot, Albatross and Garry Owen— the former from bursting a blood- vessel, and the latter from a broken back caused by blundering over the identical " obstacle" whereat The Curate and Kilfane were killed some years since. Their jockeys fortunately escaped un- hurt. The result of the race is unsatisfactory to the Ring, owing to the winner having been one of the first horses backed for it, even before the entry and publication of the weights. Emigrant is the joint propertyofMessrs HodginanandE. Green, well known bookmakers, both of whom win large stakes, and they were warmly congratulated by their brethren of the Ring upon their success, to commemorate which, we hear, Charies Boyce ( who deserves every credit for the manner in which he brought off the " good thing" by bringing his horse to the post in rare condi- tion, and riding him like an artist), has received the handsome present of a thousand pounds from the owners, and half that amouut from a gallant baronet, a good winner on the race. Ben Land and one or two of his friends, on dit, would have won a fortune if Weathercock had happened to have popped his head iu first; and it is rather galling that his " pot" should be upset by a horse that he sold out of his stable two years ago. Owing to the length to which our introductory remarks have already extended, we can only briefly notice the remaining items, the chief of which, the Seftou Handicap ( wherein the backers of Mary " burnt their fingers ") fell to the lot of Sir Humphrey, whilst the All- Aged Selling Stakes was carried off by T. P. Cooke, who, at the hammer, subsequently realised 37gs to the Fund. The Junior Selling Stakes, having a couple of entries only, failed to produce a race, and thus terminated another anniversary of this memorable meeting, which was conducted by Mr Topham and his son in the most businesslike manner, TUESDAY, MARCH 3.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added by the Earl of Sefton; three year olds 6st 61b, four Sst 4lb, five 9st, six aud aged Ost 31b; mares and geldings allowed 4lb; mile and a quarter ; 7 subs.

Special Licence and Fisherman were first off, but after running a quarter of a mile Breeze rushed to the front and made play at a good pace, Kenerdy going on second, Special Licence third, and Miss Harkaway fourth, the favourite, having dropped into the rear, acting as whipper- in. The next change was after rounding the Bridge turn, when Breeze disappeared from the front, and the running was taken up by Miss Harkaway, who was followed into the straight by Kenerdy aud Special Licence abreast. Kenerdy then beat a retreat, and the favourite closing with Special Licence, these two waited upon Miss Harkaway until near the distance, at which part the race became a match between Fisherman and Mr Merry's horse— the issue, never doubtful, however, being in favour of the old un, who headed the others at the Stand, and won after a little rousing by half a length. Miss Harkaway was beaten nearly a dozen lengths, audDuet, whowalked infromthe distance, did not pass the post. Run in 2min Usee. The TYRO STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, for two year olds; colts Sst 71b, fillies and geldings Sst 3lb; winners 4lb extra; the second to save his stake, and the winner to pay 7 sovs towards expenses; T.

The three " placed" and Knockburn were in front throughout, the favourite, who made all the run- ning, winning in a canter by two lengths. Letitia was beaten twice as far from Dispute, aud Knockburn, who was fourth, about two lengths from the third, T. P. Cooke being fifth, and William tailed off. Run in 57sec. The LIVERPOOL SPRING CUP ( Handicap) of 100 sovs, by sub- scription of 10 sovs each, hit, with 60 added; winners of any handicap after publication of the weights 5lb extra; the se- cond to save his stake, and the winner to pay 10 sovs towards expenses; one mile and a half; 33 subs.

Gitana rushed to the front the instant the flag fell, and, overpowering Fprdham, cut out the work at a rattling pace, followed by Lima, Tom Thumb and Bashi Bazouk abreast, Charles O'Malley lying next at the head of the ruck, and Lady Helen and Waterfall in the rear, Siding, who stood j still at the post, being left behind. Down the far side, Gitana increased her lead to a couple of lengths, and the severity of the pace became apparent upon Lady Helen ana Waterfall thus early, the former being tailed off at least half a dozen lengths, aud the old horse twice as far before they had gone half a mile. With the exception of Charles O'Malley drawing nearer to the front, and Bashi Bazouk, apparently overpaced, dropping into the rear, there was no material change until reachiug the turn into the straight, when Lima, who headed the favourite by the canal side, gave way, and Charles O'Malley joining Tom Thumb, these two followed the favourite round it. Next to them came Mary, Pizarro and Bashi Bazouk in a cluster, aud in this order they remained until within a quarter of a mile of home, when Gitana, having " shot her bolt," gave way altogether. On her retirement Charles O'Malley and Tom Thumb were left in command, but beiug instantly joined by Mary and Bashi Bazouk, the other two were soon disposed of, and the race, like each of the others that preceded it, became a match, Mary going on with her neck in advance, and looking all over the winner to the Stand, when Bullock made a desperate effort, and the mare getting into diffi- culty the instant Rod burn moved upon her, a splendid struggle resulted in Bashi Bazouk's favour by a head. Charles O'Malley, beaten at least six lengths from the first two, finished about a length in advance of Tom Thumb and Pizarro, who were next close together, Gitana being sixth and clear of the others, aud Lima seventh; the rest nowhere. Run in 2miu 40sec, The OPTIONAL SELLING STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for three year olds and upwards; one mile; 4 subs.

Sir Humphrey made the ruiiuing followed by Kilkenny Bay and R6veill6e into the straight, when Our Sal, who had been lying off, took second place, and, at the distance, made an attempt to reach the leader but failed, and was beaten by three lengths. Kilkenny Boy finished a shocking bad third, Ida fourth, and lleveillee and Miss Birch next. Lady Hercules broke away with Walters before starting, ran round the course, and never took part in the race. Run in lmin 55sec.

Lady Hercules cut out the work, waited upon by Miss Harkaway and Ida on the left, and Admiral Lyons on the right, until half way up the distauce, where Ida dropped off; a pretty race home with tne three placed resulting in favour of Lady Hercules by half a length, the Ad- miral beating the favourite by the same. Ida and Pera were next close together, four or five lengths off, and the grey last. Run in 57sec.

The start, which was preceded by two or three failures, took place precisely at 26 minutes past three. As usual in such a large field, it was almost impossible, from the fact of their going away from the spectators in the Stand, and from the circumstance of there being so many similar colours, to distinguish positions correctly ; nor, owing moreover to the wide front which the lot presented, caused by some bearing to the headland on the right and others going straight ahead over the seeds, were we enabled, until they had somewhat settled into their places after jumping the first two leaps, to make out the leading division. This comprised Garry Owen, Emigrant, Little Charley, Dangerous, Albatross, Hopeless Star, Casse Cou, Jean du Quesue, Minos, and Teddesley; and nearly in the order indicated they jumped Beecher's Brook, Escape lying in about the middle, with Mr Hughes's three, and " Weatherc- ock, Maurice Daley, Squire of Bensham, and Sting bringing up the rear, Weathercock, though he got away in the front rank and led over the first two fences, having lost ground at the third, through something knocking him round and causing " him io refuse. After rounding the extreme turning flag Garry Owen increased the pace and his lead very considerably also, and the effect of the former was speedily apparent upon the field, which thus early presented an extraordinary " tail." Approaching Valentine's Brook, Boyce bore to the right and jumped it close to the canal bank, whilst Garry Owen, Little Charley, Hope- less Star, and, in fact, almost all the others, took it higher up, and keeping straight on, had to cross the three succedi'ng fields of plough and seed, which " held" much more than might have been expected from the little rain that had fallen. Emigrant, ou the other hand, found it firm going along the foot of the canal bank; and the advantage of his jockey's deviation was apparent as he rejoined the main body in the field before the canal bridge, after jumping out of which and crossing the lane on to the race- course, he headed Garry Owen and took up the running. The pace now appeared to slacken a little, and, the turf affording an opportunity for some of the stragglers to make up their lee- way, two- thirds of the field got upon much better terms with the leaders in the run up to the artificial bush fence near the distance post, before reaching which Westminster emerged from the ruck and jumped it close behind Emi- grant, almost alongside of Garry Owen, Little Charley, and Jean du Quesne, at whose heels followed a ruck of at least a dozen horses " all of a heap." In the scrimmage, Forest Queen came into collision with Star of the West, by which the latter was knocked over, though fortunately without injury to horse or rider. We regret, however, to have to record an accident of a more fatal character which occurred just previ- ously to the Irish mare Albatross, who when about half wav across the course, staggered so much that Meany jumped off, in order to learn the cause, when he discovered that the poor beast had broken a blood vessel, and in less than a quarter of an hour she died on the spot where she fell. It was au exciting race between the two Epsom horses, Emigrant and Westminster, up to the artificial water jump opposite the Stand, which the former cleared about a length in advance ; and at ail interval of three or four lengths Little Charley went over third, closely suc- ceeded by ( almost in a body) Hopeless Star, Garry Owen, Jean du Quesne, Minos ( who dropped his hind legs into the water), Dan- gerous, Teddesley, and Weathercock, the last of whom had gradually made up his lost ground in the early part of the race. Clear of the foregoing, at the head of the next lot came Escape, Lady Arthur, Romeo, Omar Pasha, Casse Cou, Treachery, Horniblow, King Dan, and Squire, of Bensham ; and a long way in the rear of the ruck, tailed off an im- mense distance, the two last to jump the water were Star of the West, who had been remounted after his spill at the preceding fence, and Midge, the former of whom stopped alto- gether at " Proeeed's lane." At this point Minos, who jumped the water- jump like a tired horse, nearly came down; and shortly afterwards, we regret to state, another of the Irish divi- sion— Garry Owen— not only came to grief, but, like Albatross, " gave up the ghost." The horse breasted a bank with terrific force, rolled over into the next field, and broke his back. Ryan got a " nasty cropper," but soon " picked himself up," appa- rently none the worse. Emigrant having " put on the steam" again after jumping the water at the Stand the field began to lessen very materially, before reaching Beecher's brook the se- cond time, aud after rounding the turning- flag beyond even the front rank became " small by degress and beautifully less." Emigrant jumped Valentine's brook at the same part as in the first round, at least fifty yards in advance, and his jockey " crowding all sail" along the sound ground at the foot of the canal bank, increased his lead to double that distance, and as ' the others kept the more direct line across the fallows, their dis- tress became the more apparent every instant as tho intervals between them increased. Both Minos and Escape had been in trouble for some distance, and after jumping Valentine's Brook, the two favourites, Hopeless Star, Jean du Quesue, and Little Charley, were out of the race. As they dropped back, the " light division," served by their " feathers," began to advance, and Teddesley, Dangerous, Weathercock, and Treachery ( as near as we could make out) became the followers of Westminster almost in the order named, to the post and rails near the Canal Bridge, where Teddesley fell, and remained so perfectly motion- less for nearly a quarter of an hour that Archer thought he had broken his back. Before arriving at the lane Boyce took a pull at his horse, which let up the others, and, on tho retirement of West- minster after landing on the race course, Weathercock and Dan- gerous got upon closer terms with the leader. Dangerous, how- ever, dropping back before reaching the last turn, left the race to Emigrant and Weathercock, and from that point, almost to the distance, the two ran head and head, when Emigrant shook off the light- weight, cleared the hurdles without the slightest blunder, and, galloping on with a clear lead, won very easily by two lengths. Dangerous jumped the " timber" about as far be- hind Weathercock, raced with him for second money to the lower end of the enclosure, and was " third best" in the race, but, not being persevered with to the end, Treachery and West- minster caught him within a few strides of the chai.*, and the former, though at least a dozen lengths behind Weathercock, ob- tained for " Mr Hughes's lot" the barren honour of third place from the Judge, who refused, however, to award the same dis- tinction to Westminster ( fourth), and Dangerous ( fifth), albeit they deserved it, inasmuch as that there was scarcely a length between the three— nothing else being up with them. Jean du Quesne cantered in sixth, Lady Arthur seventh, and Forest Queen eighth ; and the next lot past the post comprised Casse Cou, Minos ( who pulled up very lame from having hit his off fore leg at the third fence after starting), and Squire of Bensham. Tne remainder were stopped a long way from home, and Romeo, First of May, Omar Paslia, Little Charley, Hopeless Star, and Escape walked into the enclosure without going to the chair.

They ran thus until half way between the bridge and last turns, when Sir Humphrey who had been lying last but one, ran through his horses and took a clear lead of Special Licence, who was followed from the turn by Tom Thumb, who there passed Charles O'Malley aud Indian Queen. In this order the race finished, Sir Humphrey winning easily by two lengths, and the second beating the third by the same. Charles O'Malley was a bad fourth, and Mary next. Run in 2min lOsec.

THE GREAT WATERLOO MEETING. FEB 25, 26, & 27—( CONCLUDED). President: The Earl of Sefton. Stewards: A. Graham, C. Randall, and G. F. Cooke, Esqs. Flag Steward: Nathan Slater, Esq. Director of the Ground, Mr W. Warner. Judge : Mr Nightingale. Slipper: Mr Raper. Secretary : Mr Lynn. [ PROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] I forward you the promised details of Friday's running, em- bracing the third and fourth ties and deciding course for the great Cup ; the second atad third ties and deciding course for the Waterloo Purse; and the first and second ties and deciding course for the Waterloo Plate, the results of which appeared in your last weak's paper by electric telegraph ; the brilliancy of this great event being too fresh in my memory to allow me to do so without adding a few remarks, for which probably you will allow space. The Cup betting on Thursday night at the dinner at the Waterloo Hotel, was as follows :— 3 to 1 agst Barrator ( tk freely), 3 to 1 agst Tempest ( off), 3 to 1 agst Sunbeam ( off), 6 to 1 agst Protest ( tk), 6 to 1 agst Blue Cap ( tk), 7 to 1 agst King Lear ( off), 8 tol agst Termagant ( tk). . DETAILS OF THE RUNNING. WATERLOO CUP ( THIRD TIES).— Protest ( backed freely at 6 to 4) led to the hare, and turned rather wildly, letting in Blue Cap, who gained the second and tried for the third, but the latter was made by Protest, who now steadied to her work, and had nearly the whole of the re- mainder of a very nice trial of good length. Barrator and King Lear ( the former backed freely at 2 to 1 on him): After a very close race from the slips for about one hundred yards, King Lear drew in front about two lengths, made first turn, ran on very cleverly with the hare ( one that with such a brace of dogs could not show much racing from her turns), aud Barrator not going so fresh and quick as in his former courses was cleverly beaten iu a course of moderate length. Sunbeam led Dalton about a length to a drain, but the latter taking it quickest passed him, led to the hare by about a length, and brought her round; kept well on for three or four wrenches, and looked very flattering for the course, when Sunbeam joined issue, had the best of three or four well contested points, and made several others in succession, thereby winning a food and nicely run course. Termagant led the favourite ' empest ( 6 to 4 on him) for sixty or seventy yards, when Tempest passed her, led to the hare, and was too fast for Termagant throughout a very good course.— Fourth ties: King Lear led Protest to the hare, and turned; raced on beautifully, and finished a course of favourable length with a kill. Sunbeam led Tempest to the hare, and had much the best of a good course, wheu the winner got sight of a fresh hare and unfortunately had a long and severe single handed course before he was taken up.— Deciding course : King Lear started from the slips with much freshness, led three or four lengths to the hare, turned, kept well on the line of his game, and followed up with two wrenches in succession, bringing the hare to Sunbeam's ground, and he made the next wrench, but the King came again, and had the best of the kill. It was evi- dent from the moment he appeared in the slips that Sunbeam, nothing less than a first- rater, was suffering sadly from his pre- vious severe course— thus was the Protest against King Lear unavailing; the Tempest gave place to the Sunbeam, which, although shining resplendently, was unable to outvie the lucky star of King Lear, this day in the ascendant 1 WATERLOO PURSE.— Second ties: A close contest between David and Sweetbriar for the first turn, but the hare swerving to David's line, was rather in his favour, after which he ran fast and close, and had a course of favourable length to himself, excepting the kill. Columbus ( backed at 2 to 1 agst Skewball): From the repeated swerving of the hare the first turn could not be fairly awarded, and a close contest was just won by Skew- ball, who killed. 6 to 4 on Le Juif agst Albatross. The non- favourite had the best of the first part, and the favourite the best of the latter part of au undecided course. In the next slip, Albatross led to the hare, ran very nicely on the line of his game, and won a good course everywhere. 6 to 4 on Baron Gar- nock agst Jacobite: Short and undecided. Next slip, Jacobite led the Baron to the hare, the Baron then went in, did a great deal of work by himself, and Jacobite declining pursuit, the Baron followed puss to the cover— a most severe course. Third ties: David led Skewball three lengths to the hare, and throughout a splendid course of considerable length, with a stout hare, had at least four- fifths of it, finishing with a clever kill. Albatross led Baron Garnock to the hare, and took first and second turns. The Baron, then, to the surprise of every one, after his previous distressing coursc, contested successfully several points, but Albatross continued the freshest, and had afterwards several points to himself. Deciding course: David, notwithstanding his previous severe and nearly single- handed course, led Albatross to the hare, made first and second turns, when Albatross joined, but David, too selfish to allow him to assist, took the hare to himself and looked like making short work of her; unluckily, however, he fell in the next drain, and Albatross getting over it, scored several points in succession and killed before David recovered himself. Thus were the strains of David unheeded in the enduring flight of the Albatross! WATERLOO PLATE.— First ties: 6 to 4 on Prince, who led Rhapsody to the hare, but the latter had afterwards much the best of a well- contested course, excepting the kill. Goldfindor was too fast for Blackness in a short course. Jail Bird and Manganese : The two latter backed at 5 to 4 ; the non- favourite led to the hare, ran very fresh, wrenched four or five times in succession, and killed. Dusty Miller led Lawson ( backed at 5 to 4) to the hare, and just won a good and well- contested course. — Second ties: A close race for sixty or seventy yards, when Gold- finder, preferring a nugget to Rhapsodies, raced away to the hare by several lengths, brought her to Rhapsody's ground, and the latter killed. Jail Bird, choosing the " golden ears" to the Dusty Miller, led him by seven or eight lengths to the hare, wrenched, and followed'up with a kill— thus Jail Bird, like one released from its captivity, flew from the slips and alighted on the largest " nugget" remaining of the " washings," leaving Goldfinder a share of the " dust." Three cheers were then given for the Earl of Sefton, three for the Dowager Countess, and three for the remainder of the family, and such cheers, too, that were acceptable at the end, but would not have been at the commencement of a meeting, as the hares were put to the move in all directions, and thus con- cluded, with a most satisfactory finale, one of the most brilliant and " brotherly" meetings that has ever graced the annals of coursing- its success and importance seeming to keep pace | with each other throughout. The meeting was conceived, in a sportsmanlike spirit, arranged with fine and indisputable judg- ment, and carried through with that zeal and energy for which the straightforward and'spirited Secretary has ever been dis- tinguished. May he live to give us such another bill of fare next year, and may we again be there to see it served up and enjoyed with the same success! CONCLUDING REMARKS. It will be seen that Scotland, with her usual prowess, sent seventeen representatives, Lancashire collected the like number, Cumberland five, Surrey three, Cheshire two, Worcestershire two, whilst Staffordshire, Gloucestershire, Northumberland, Durham, Bedfordshire, and Wilts relied upon one each. Of these, on the first day, fifteen of the Scotch were put hors de combat, leaving inonly King Lear and Black Flag; whilst equally strange, as if " running in couples," Lancashire lost the same number, with only Protest and Athualpa as the representatives of this powerful coursing district. Yorkshire had three in out of twelve, viz, Alice, Termagant, and Barrator; Cumberland's flag still waving over four out of their five in Mountaineer, Blue Cap, Sunbeam, and Tempest. Worcestershire had both Richmond and Hestia still in; and Durham, Bedfordshire, and Northum- berland, in their single nomination, the flattering and reason- able hope of further progress in the great event, with Grisette, Debonnair, and Dalton. The results of the second day presented to us King Lear " left in" for Scotland, Protest for Lancashire, Termagant and Barrator for Yorkshire, and Dalton for Durham ; whilst Cumberland could boast of three out of her five nomina- tions yet " standing," namely Tempest, Blue Cap, and Sunbeam. The result, however, for the great event was— Scotland tirst, Cumberland second, Lancashire third, and Cumberland fourth; Lancashire being first and Wiltshire second for the Waterloo Purse of thirty- two entries; and Lancashire also first and Staf- fordshire second for the Waterloo Plate of sixteen entries; and I may here mention that although the betting each night was very spirited, in consequence ( I suppose) of the King having less courtiers and flatterers than is usual, he was not backed for the e vent, except in one instance, when 100 to 3 was taken, not by his owner, but by a clever courser from Lytham. The book makers at the Waterloo laid against no fewer than thirty dogs at from 100' s to 3 to 100' s to 5, but luckily for them could not get on against the winner, although offers of 100 to 4 on the first, and 100 to 10 on the second night, were oftentimes repeated, Thus has Scotland most gloriously and indisputably achieved the first conquest for this unprecedented prize, and it is worthy of remark that King Lear, like the only other Scotch winners of the Waterloo Cups ( in 1843 and 1851), came from Dumfriesshire, Mr Pollock's Major being got by a dog purchased at the sale of Sir P. H. Maxwell's greyhounds of Spring Kells; Hughie Graham being bred by his owner, Mr W. Sharpe, at Hoddam, near Ecclefechan; and King Lear likewise by his owner, at Dumfries. The winner— King Lear— is a white dog, with a fawn coloured cheek and fawn coloured ear on the off side; is an ele- gant aud well- proportioned animal, standing exactly 2( 5f inches high, weighing 634- lb, with a girth round his heart of 30 inches. He is 2 years 10 months old, has a light, gay countenance, and is altogether a high- bred and elegant- looking greyhound, pos- sessing fast and true action, is very close in his work, and is perfect and almost certain in his killing; having, I am very credibly informed, never missed but one hare. From what I remember of the running of his sire ( Wigan) at the Abington Meeting, in March, 1850,1 should hardly think that the King is quite so fast, but perhaps a closer worker. Although I am quite an admirer of the true and good shape of Sunbeam, of his pace, and beautifully true running, as well as beiug mind- ful of his coming thoroughly beaten to the King's hands in the deciding course, yet I cannot forego the recollection of the style in which King Lear led to bis hare, and won each and every course he ran; neither of his opponents seeming to " make a race" with him, excepting Barrator ( and as was observed by the judge and a steward near to me, whose opinion on a course, or coursing matters, I estiraato second to none that I ever met with), that it gave to Barrator the appearance of running tired from his previous courses, in two of which he had certainly done everything. After the meeting I heard that Mr W. Wil- son ( who, by the bye, will perhaps experience on this great occa- sion what may never happen again, the doubly proud possession of both collar and medal, as owner of the winner, and also of being the trainer)— that he was disposed to part with King Lear, and that he sold his sister, Blooming Heather, to Mr Gibson, for £ 50, and half her winnings in the Champion Cup at Biggar, although he did not accept an offer made for the King. It may not be out of place to mention that the owner of King Lear is not the same Mr W. Wilson who owned Jamie Forest, the present " fortunate youth" being head waiter at the Commercial Inn, Dumfries, in which capacity ( a reliable authority assures me) he has " gained golden opinions" for his general civility and attention. In the preparation for the occasion several kennels met with casualties, and had therefore to substitute others not quite equal to those originally intended. Seignor, the chosen of Lord Sefton's kennel, had his tail broken in two places during his journey from Croxteth to London, to meet his trainer, en route from Amesbury to Newmarket; and Seacole went amiss on the day of entry, but improved, and ran her match against Shill I Shall I, on Friday, in superior style. Belted Will ( lame) was but very moderately represented by Jacobite; Charmer, too, had not the charms of Ladylike ( also lame); Goldfinder, as a substitute, did his best, aud ran well; but if Bold Expression had been all right, he would, I think, have expressed himself more forcibly than his companions did forthe powerful Lead Hill kennel of Mr Borron, which has this season achieved unprece- dented successes. Although I had heard much of Richmond, if Riot had continued as good " as she used to was" I should have much preferred her services; yet the subscribers were so ami- cably disposed, that I dare say they did not require another " Riot act" read. The surprise expressed when David was drawn from the Cup, instead of Rhapsody, was proved by David's subsequent performances to be well founded. His excellent running over Altcar, combined with the admira- tion he has earned by his beautiful running on the Wilts and Berkshire downs, confirms the previous opinion that he is a thorough- good greyhound; and in the same category may- be classed both for their performances. on this and on other oc- casions, Albatross, the conqueror of David for the Waterloo Purse; aud Jail Bird, the winner of the Plate. I could parti- cularise others, but regard for your valuable space compels me to refrain from doing so. I must not, however, omit doing justice to Messrs Nightingale and Raper, who, in their capacity of judge and slipper, acquitted themselves, I might say, to the satisfaction of every unbiassed spectator. Fewer complaints of wrong decisions on the part of the " tryer " were never made at a great meeting, and very justly so; whilst Raper's good temper, the care he took to obtain fair slips, and his fine walk- ing throughout, proved him a worthy successor of that once famous " prince of slippers," Will Warner, who, now somewhat too old and stout withal, undertook, under the personal direc- tion of the stewards, the arduous task of managing tho beat and keeping the field in order— a task of no mean difficulty with such a large and excited multitude as each day assembled on the " plains." As " flag steward," Mr Nathan Slater, indeed, proved himself, as one of your able correspondents recently remarked, " the right man in the right place." And now let me tender my best thanks to the Earl of Sefton and the stewards for continuing the great privilege granted to me by the late earl, who, with his usual frankness, addressed me once as follows :— " As you are good enough to tell that terrible lion— tlie British public— of our doings at Altcar, you are at liberty to take what- ever position in the field you think best for your purpose." I was thereby enabled, by keeping company with the flag steward and judge throughout the meeting, in advance of the crowd, to see more of the coursing than most folk ; and furthermore, to supply the " British public," through the columns of Bell's Life, with accurate details of every course, all of which, let me add, actually came under my personal observation. No true courser who has ever observed the sportsmanlike and gentlemanly way in which the Scotch coursers come to the field or the socialities of the table, either over or en this side of the Border, will for a moment regret the stake going to Scot- land, but from what it has been my pleasure to observe of them, I must certainly say that I do much regret the dis- union or disruptions which seem to have discovered themselves in the disagreeable matters which have been shown up in Bell; and these, in addition to many unsportsmanlike ones which have occurred in England, lead me to the hope that nothing ean occur to interrupt the formation of the " Supreme authority for forming rides and holding court for final appeal on allcoursing matters," which was justly and so ably advocated by E. Majori- banks, Esq, who will. I trust, pardon me for suggesting a few other names of practical coursing men to be added to the Club, namely, for Scotland, the Earl of Eglinton ( who, rumour asserts, is not unlikely to reappear in the coursing field), Mr Gordon, and Mr Borron; for Wiltshire and Berkshire, Mr Bowles and Mr Wm. Long; Bedfordshire, Mr Purser; Shropshire, Mr Jebb or Mr Burton ; Surrey, E. Majoribanks, Esq; Lancashire, Earl of Sefton and Mr B. H. Jones; and for the Midland Counties, Mr Lawrence. The opinion suggested by one correspondent, that the compiler of Thacker, or even any of the chroniclers or writers on coursing, should be added, seems to be generally thought quite unnecessary. The rules of each, or any suggestions they may think proper to submit, ean be easily made to either of the proposed members for their selection, for no set of rules is complete or perfect. In conclusion, I trust ! that the National Coursing Club, or whatever title may be chosen, will give us early demonstration of their authority, for I quite expect that the knowledge of its existence will prevent or lessen its requirement, as well as give a position to a sport so popular, so delightful in its enjoyment, inciting to healthful re- creation, and conducive to good fellowship : and may the club " prove a terror to evil doers, and a praise to them that do well, — Yours, & c, A COURSER. March 2d, 1857. THE ELECTION OF THE JUDGE. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : As many inuendos have been thrown out to the effect that the voting papers for the election of judge at the Water- loo Meeting have been tampered with by me, I appeal to your well- known impartiality and kindness to allow me, through the columns of Bell's Life— the only medium that the sporting public, especially coursers, acknowledge as their authority— to expose the fallacy and unjustness of such charges, by publishing the following table of the " polling" on the occasion of the elec- tion of judge for the Waterloo Meeting, since that important official has received his appointment by the votes of the sub- scribers.— Yours, & c, WILLIAM LYNN.

( FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) This meeting came off on Monday over the property of J. Dundas, Esq, near Kirkliston. Almondhill, the place of meeting, is in the centre of a highly- cultivated district, large inclosures of arable land, surrounded by thorn fences beautifully trimmed, being destined for the running. The day good, though a thin floating mist overhung it with a gloom, " Not such as winter's storms on mortals shed Oppressing life ; but lovely, gentle, kind, And full of every hope and every joy The wish of nature." We met with a most cordial reception from Mr Dudgeon, the tenant, and formed a pleasant party on pleasant grounds. The competition, a most amicable one, for pleasure only, not for profit, the stakes nominal, the judge an amateur, and the dis- tinction aspired at being the possession for a year of the club plate, the gift of their late respected patron, W. R. Ramsay, Esq, by whom it was founded in 1849. The stewards were at their post, and the officials did their best in the discharge of their respective duties, though in some instances it will be seen from the running that the will on the judge's part must be taken for the deed, and as such it was generally good- humouredly ac- cepted. Ben and Pelissier were slipped in a large ploughed field, each leading alternately, when the former got into the furrow, raced first, and swerved his hare, following up by a turn into the hedge, where the black, getting first through, was instantly passed, and Ben led to cover; undecided. In their next attempt, on stubble, Peli- sier led two lengths, turned, and re- turned into the other's line, who wrenched and killed. Jessie Melville slightly led Flora on outside ground, and isade some strong work, before Flora got in, after which they evenly contested a long and severe course. Palmer led Puir Bodie two or three lengths to the back of a hill out of my sight. Young Sultan, on inside ground, led Baron, turned twice, and slipped on bis side; Baron wrenched, and raced down a plough- furrow, when Sultan gave him a go- bye, and made^ a beautiful kill.— Second ties: Ben and Flora were slipped at a found hare in a large stubble field. The former led, fetching his hare round five or six lengths in advance of his opponent, who picked it up. Puir Bodie slightly led Baron on young wheat, wrenched his hare several times, and turned her into the fence, keeping well in with his game until out of sight, the judge taking off his hat. Mr Nimmo, however, being satisfied of the superiority of the plebeian over the ba- ronial blood, drew his dog, and Ben and Puir Bodie were put in for the deciding course. The former took a strong lead, and fetched the hare round, as if out of charity to Puir Bodie, allowed him one turn, and then taking her again to hisaself, turned and killed. Thus Benjamin, true to his name, proved himself the favoured one of all the rival brothers, sacked the " Governor's Silver Cup," and in the mouth of his sack in another year will he who can prove a better right to it find it.

MR EDITOR : After Mr Blanshard's public declaration in your paper, that no future reply was to be given, I observe with some surprise another letter from him on these subjects, re- explaining and recapitulating his views, as he says, injustice to the mem- bers of his club, and for the satisfaction of the public in general, and in refutation of the charges of your correspondent, and of your editorial remarks. Mr Blanshard's views, and his defence in the Red Deer busi- ness, exactly tallies with what I predicted in my last letter; for, finding his excuses and assertions for the non- return of the Red Deer money to the original subscribers, so signally re- futed and disposed of by " A Second Day's Spectator," he now falls back for shelter under the wing of the little coterie styling itself " the club," referred to as wont to assemble in the upper room of the Corn Market, the Caf6 Royal, or the Tempe- rance Tavern, kept by the acting paid secretary Mr Cannon. Accordingly, Mr Blanshard from this snug retreat now holds out triumphantly a long string of alleged extracts of minutes, circulars, and other memoranda, proving, as he assumes, his own perfect innocence and regularity in the performance of his official duties throughout this Red Deer business; and in the fulness of his joy he accuses you, Mr Editor, of prejudging his case, and acting a biassed part. Now, supposing the Malleny Club really was, as Mr Blan shard states, the same as the Caledonian, and that he and the latter club, or clique, or coterie, or whatever it may be called, were entitled to appropriate to themselves the " RedDeer money," or any of the other funds belonging to the Malleny Club, which certainly in law and equity they were not, without the consent of every member ; still there yet remains a sufficient answer to Mr Blanshard, and that is afforded by his own Cale- donian fundamental club rule No. 12, a rule existing in 1853, and still continuing to exist; and as such must be held in law as overriding and controverting the whole mass of Mr Blan- shard's list of alleged club or clique minutes, meetings (?) ot circulars, and all his inferences! and deductions therefrom; and altogether negativing the legality of his attempt to divert the Red Deer money from the original subscribers, and appropriate it for the behoof and benefit of new parties, who never contri- buted one farthing. The said rule, so far as it applies to this case, reads as follows: " Any person who shall enter or run a dog for a prize restricted to dogs bona fide the property of members, and which dog shall be afterwards proved not to have then belonged to a member, shall be fined five sovereigns, besides forfeiting the entry- money and winnings of any such dog; the money won by him, and by the dogs he has beaten in the stake, to be put together and divi- ded in sums proportioned to the number of courses each of these dogs has won." Now this meets precisely the case of Red Deer, and thus by this, his own club rule, the money should go to the original subscribers to the stake alone. Yet to the very contrary of this rule Mr Blanshard unblushingly seeks to justify his attempt to divert it into the hands of other parties, and also in defiance of his other club rule, No. 21:—" When a deciding course is not run, the prize shall be declared divided, he bestows the money on Mr Gibson, who was not one of the original subscribe-) s, and who, ranking only as a " divider," not a winner, has no legal claim whatever. Under these circumstances, therefore, irrespective of the ad< mission by Mr Blanshard that the money was directed by the club to be paid back to objecting subscribers, but which he de- layed and neglected so to do— and even now, in face of various protests and letters, he denies that he was called on to repay it— can it be doubted by any honest, independent man, confronting Mr Blanshard's conduct even with reference to his own state- ments and his own club rules, that the rebuke you, Mr Editor, have given him, was richly deserved; and that, so far from his case having been " prejudged," his whole proceedings are truly as you express it, " not only unjustifiable, but absolutely illegal. Further, Mr Blanshard seems to think it important to his and Mr Gibson's case, that Mr Borron entered for the Red Deer prize in January, 1856; but where is the parallel between them? Mr Borron was an original subscriber; Mr Gibson was not. Mr Borron was running mainly for his own money Mr Gib- son wholly for that of others. Mr Borron divided the stake, but did not receive or claim the Red Deer prize. Mr Gibs ® n divided it also; but he both claimed, and, it is sakZ, has actually RECEIVED from Mr Blanshard that prize! Again, Mr Borron made no secret at the time, or since, of the reason which induced him in 1856 so to enter for that stake. Ha had waited fruitlessly from 1852 to 1856 for the return of his money, and hearing, quite acci- dentally, thst the little coterie aforesaid intended to run for it, at a notice so short as to exclude distant members, and thereby confining it almost entirely to their own dogs, he determined to disappoint then1, and it<? did so; for, by means of the telegraph, he made his entries, and brought his dogs by train 60 miles to the ground the very night before running ; so that, instead of this affording any colour to Mr Blanshard's or Mr Gibson's case, it is truly an additional and striking condemnation. But, assuming it were otherwise, aud that everything Mr Blanshard here vouches for and describes was correct ( but which is denied), still, how does that excuse him or Mr Gibson ? They well know, or ought to know, that two blacks do not make a white, and that if Mr Borron did act improperly, or in opposi- tion to the rules, they, as honorary secretary and managing steward, were not discharging their duties by allowing it, and only increased their own guilt by imitation of, or participation m, that of others. Truly, in conclusion, may it be said this Red Deer business, and the other important matters referred to in my last letter, exhibit a black page in this club's management; and, if it really consists, as Mr Blanshard boasts it does, of " nearly all the coursing nobility and gentlemen in Scotland, and some of the leading coursersin the north of England," the sooner their eyes are opened to their true position the better; and let them listen to no denials or assurances of managing officials, paid or other- wise, that all is right, but judge for themselves. And, if so, well will they and the entire coursing public find cause to thank you, Mr Editor, for so liberally opening your columns to the complaints of those whose only object, like mine, is to see one of the most important of British field sports rescued from a gross system of mismanagement, and placed on sound ana upright principles in future.— I am, & c, A PUBLIC COURSER. ME EDITOR: As acting secretary of tho Caledonian Coursing Club, I beg to say, with reference to the letter of vour corre- spondent, " A Public Courser," in ybur last number, that the questions are absurd, and the statements made by him simply untrue. I have no doubt, if this party comes out in his own name, that there will be no want of champions among the mem- bers of the club to refute the assertions, and expose the animus of tne instigator of the late anonymous attacks.— Yours, & c, A. CANNON. THE LATE NEWMARKET MEETING, & c. MR EDITOR : Reading iu your last publication two letters, signed the one by " A Courser of much more than Thirty Years' standing," the other, " Mr John Wilson," will you permit me to point out that they have misstated the words used by me ; the former in my letter of Feb 18,; the latter iii that in your paper of Feb 8, and as I can shortly answer " Mr Wilson," I will refute his statement first. AVhat I wrote was this : " On turning to my list of pedigrees, I find that Kingfisher won ( this should have been, run up for), au 18 dog stake at the U. N. andD. Meeting last season, and that there was no pedigree given, aud I under- stand that he was entered at the Biggar for the Douglas Cup, pedigree unknown." Now I think that Mr W. cannot accuse me of stating in the above that his dog was entered even with one pedigree, let be two. I further wrote: " Yet we have since seen in Bell's Life ( and I refer you to two letters iu that paper of Jan 4th, the one from ' Mr Wilkinson' and the other from ' Mr Francis Kenwick') two pedigrees given, one by Wat Tinlin, the other by the Chief of Monteith out of Fly." I have always admitted that my coursing information is gathered from various sources, Bell's Life, & c ; aud many gentlemen can bear me out, that in writing to them I have invariably stated the fol- lowing: " I shall at all times be glad to give you any coursing information in my power. Ail I ask iu return is. that you will render me a similar assistance, by forwarding returns, pedi- grees, and more particularly corrections •" for would it not be more than ridiculous in me, residing in Liverpool, having no one to assist me in conducting my Annual, and being likewise unconnected with any public paper, or editor of one, to pre- tend_ to ubiquity and omniscience ? I am a compiler, endea- vouring to set before you collected facts, not adding any colour- ing of my own, by bringing prominently forward this or that dog, caan, or judge ; or, on the other hand, placing them in the shade of deepest dye. I afford you the premises, allowing to you the possession of faculties sufficient to draw your own conclu- sions. And now for " A Courser, & c" : If he will turn to my letter he will find that I did not say that Mr Thacker's rules were good, but that every one must allow that this rule—" If a fresh hare get up during a course, and one of the dogs take after her, the course to be decided up to the time she interfered with it "— was good, and if, Mr Editor, you will excuse me taking up so much time and space in your paper, I will give you Mr Thacker's reasons for that rule. " A fresh hare may get up before anything has taken place to show which is the better dog ; or it may be after one has shown a decided superiority. On some occa- sions tho course is given to the dog which follows the slipped hare, and very improperly so. Many instances may occur where one dog is evidently winning, and a fresh hare gets up under his nose, or, on recovering on his legs from a turn ho has just given, he is always likely to take after her, as he is, by so doing, only following his natural and approved propensity, and, conse- quently, very unfair for him to lose by it. The other dog may follow the original hare because, being the last when the turn was given, he, in the ordinary course, took the lead after the turn and never saw the fresh one. This has often happened, and I have seen it many times when the dog, which did not take after the fresh hare, was, up to the time, decidedly entitled to the course. In such cases, if keeping to the original hare is the criterion, a dog being the worst of the two maybe the only cause that he wins— he wins from being the worse dog instead of being the better. In other cases the tirst dog disturbs a fresh hare by running over her; the last dog takes after her, because gets up under his nose. This I have seen occur the first run up to the slipped hare, and where the dog that disturbed her was evidently first, from his superior speed; he therefore wins the course up to that time, not by running longer after the slipped hare, for he is fairly entitled to the course at the time the other hare got up, and his fellow took after her. Should neither dog have shown superiority, and the points be equal at the time of a fresh hare getting up, the course ought to be undecided ; or, if necessary, from, the regula- tions of the club ( mark this) not allowing them to run again, the decision should be by a toss, and not allow so accidental a cir- cumstance as happening to keep to the slipped hare stand as an extra point. It may be urged, in answer to this, that a toss is a casualty, or chance matter, and that the course may as well be decided by chance in one respect as by chance in another ; but the owner of that dog which was as good as his opponent has a right to an equal chance with the other, and unless the dogs were slipped to run for chance, he is entitled to the chance of a toss, because he lost the other by his dog performing his natural and expected duty." Now, although that portion relating to the third dog getting loose forms a part of rule 20, in my opinion it should be made a distinct rule of itself; but, as " A Courser, & c," thinks that Mr Thacker's rule upon this point is not good, I here insert his reasons, and, with all due deference, for surely every one may have and freely give utterance to his opinion, without personifying the game cock or dog in the manger; however, thus he writes:—" If a third dog gets loose and joins the course, there can be but little argument advanced against its being decided up to the time he joined in it; it is next to impossible to decide the merits of two after being joined by a third; and if it is given undecided on that account, it may be injustice, as one of the two before that time may clearly be entitled to a balance of points, so that the third dog would be thus robbing the best dog, depriving him of his deserved reward. But, if the third dog is let slip belonging to the owner of one of the contending dogs, though his getting loose was entirely an accident, yet he ought to lose, if for nothing but for want of due care; also, as a warning against such things being done in- tentionally, for, howevpr much a gentleman's mind may revolt against so unhandsome aud dishonourable a proceeding, it is well known that the servants generally feel quite as much anxiety about their dog winning as the master does, and will go greater lengths to attain that end; it should also be remem- bered that this is an act more conveniently in the power of the servant than the master, anil that they do sometimes adopt this manoeuvre when they see, or fancy that they see, that their dog is in a fair way of being beaten, by letting a third dog slip pur- posely to spoil the course." But, sir, thare has, and not in my opinion alone, a great evil started up in our sport. I allude not to the amount of betting, because every man is at liberty to please himself; but that coursing it self is being made a secondary consideration, and that all the jarring and discontent is caused by the dissatisfied better, and that tnere are amongst them a certain set, who would do anything to attain their ends. Why, sir, I have seen such roguishness carried on as would be deemed almost a disgrace by a footpad. And now, Mr Editor, I trust that you and your readers will excuse this long yarn, giving me credit for addressing you from pure motives, not " setting up my horn."— Yours, & c, ROBERT ABEAM WELSH, Compiler of Tliaclcer. 53, Brunswick- road, Liverpool, March 3. T0LLESBURY OLD HALL MEETING. MREDITOR : This meeting washeldon the extensive tract of land commonly called Old Hall Marshes, possesssing capabilities of no ordinary nature for tryingthe speed and stoutnessof a greyhound, and through the kindness of the proprietor, Philip Brunett, Esq, M. P., is frequently at the service of the public. The day was very fine, and the attendance of sporting gentlemen extremely numerous, though many were prevented from being present, owing to the nomination for the borough of Colchester taking place on that day. Hares were plentiful, and amply tested the powers of the dogs. The running was acknowledged to be very good, and many interesting matches ensued, one in particular, in which the two winners of the principal stakes at the late Southminster Meeting contended, causing no little excitement and some spirited betting. Mr Quihampton's Gaylad easily defeated Mr Boy's Maiden, the latter not appearing to have forgotten her Newmarket and Southminster dressing. The day's sport was most pleasantly wound up by an excellent " spread" at the Queen's Head, at Tolleshunt D'Arcy, ably con- ducted by a very good old sportsman, Mr James Cockett, and where harmony and good fellowship reigned until a late hour. The worthy squire was not forgotten, to whom the thanks of every lover of coursing are most justly due for the liberality shown at all times by him to the coursers of this neighbourhood. — Yours, & c, JUDEX. GREYHOUND PRODUCE. Mr Forster's Lill pupped seven puppies on the lst of February ( four dogs and three bitches, red fawn with black muzzles), by Lord Alfred.

THE ABINGTON MEETING.— This meeting, which comes off on the 23d, gives promise of being a " bumper," and from the well- known character of the hares, which are very plentiful, good sport may be expected. The following nominations are secured for the Biggar Open Cup, viz :— English : Lord Sefton two, Capt Spencer two, Mr Hyslop two, Mr Knowles two, and Mr Vipan two. Scotch : Mr Borron four, Mr Steel three, Mr Buist two, Mr Campbell two, Mr Gordon one, Mr Gibson three, and Capt Crichton one. We beg to direct the attention of our coursing readers to the advertisement of the Cound and Longner Meeting in our front page. The programme embraces every variety of stake, and the ground being beautiful meadows, is we are assured second to none. The meeting takes place on Thursday and Friday next, and to the trainer of the. winner of the Longner Challenge Couples a silver medal will be awarded by the fair secretary.—( See adver- THE LATE WATERLOO MEETING.— Captain Spencer informs us that the pedigree of Sunbeam was incorrectly given in the official list as by Larriston, the dog being by Mr Jefferson's John Bull out of Mr Fox's Fleur de Lis.

REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OP BREAD.— On Monday another reduction in the price of bread was made by a large number of bakers in the metropolis, and what is termed " goodwheaten bread" is now selling as low as 6d the 41b loaf, and " best wheaten bread" at7d the 41b loaf, in the densely populated districts chiefly inhabited by the poor; and in some parts, where strong competition exists, the first- mentioned description of bread is even selling as low as 5id the 4lb loaf. The high- priced bakers, who sell bread of a better quality and give credit, are charging 8d and 9d the 41b loaf. The corn chandlers are selling flour at fro ® 2$ 2d to 2s ed the stone of Wlfy k 4.

" It is a most undoubted maxim that the honour, security, and wealth of this kingdom does depend upon the protection and encouragement of trade, an d the improving and managing its naval strength; other nations who were formerly great and powerful at sea, having by negligence anc mismanagement lost their trade, have seen their maritime power entirely ruined. Therefore, we do, in the most earnest manner, beseech your Majesty, that the sea affairs may always be your first and most peculiar are."— Address of the Lords to Qy. een Anne, 1707. And verily, Mr Editor, our own good Queen doth seem to have adopted the sentiments of these ancient lords of some 150 years ago; the above remarkable passage came forcibly into our minds as we stood alongside of the new Victoria and Albert, in the dry- dock at Portsmouth, some few days after leaving the anchorage at Cowes. The new royal yacht is, without doubt, a glorious ship, beauti ful entrance, fine body, good floor, and clean run; nothing to stop the fleet fabric destined to bear the ruler of a mighty king- dom ; but there is one portion of the architecture of that noble vessel which we took exception to, perhaps presumptuously but as nobody cares a fig for the opinions of a few garrulous old yachtsmen, why we will out with it, and ease our minds, for we hate to see a beauty spoiled, and most assuredly repulsive in ap- pearance is the heavy wall- sided quarters and square stern of the Victoria and Albert, notwithstanding the amount of gilt cable and etceteras, meant to give an appearance of lightness and grace; her worthy designer might, without any disgrace, have taken a lesson from Brother Jonathan in the stern as well as in the bow; but possibly yachting muffs know nothing about these matters, and therefore, Mr Editor, I had better fill on the craft again, and get from under the lee of royal naval architec- ture, although it may not be the first lesson its professors have learned from us. After doing the rope houses, spar stores, block houses ; after viewing ships royal and great ships, middling ships and small ships, mortar batteries, gun- boats, and pinnaces, whose names familiar are as household words, we adjourned to the renowned hostelrie of the Keppel's Head, within whose classic halls we refreshed the inner man, and wherein we were in no small degree enlivened by the remonstrances of a " green hand" with an equally juvenile, but apparently salt- water- hardened, ship- mate on the propriety of the latter wearing his own clothes, a remonstrance which " salt" met by incontinently d g the youngster's stupidity for not knowing the articles of war, whereby every new hand joining was ordered to hand over his outfit to his messmates until such time as the wearable articles thereof had received the regulation sit. Embarking from the hard, we had a look at our old friends, the Lotus, Ermenia, and Wildfire, the latter looking all the better for her transformation from a long unwieldy cutter to a trim, little, and varmint- looking fore and aft schooner. Of course a peep into Camper's sanctum could not be omitted, where we learned that Lord Templeton had become the owner of the America at the sum of 3,000 guineas, and a short hour saw us careering through Spithead, where a few weeks before " A thousand pendants floated Triumphant in the breeze," and where, towering amidst the remaining few, lay the mighty Duke, alongside of whom we looked like a nautilus bobbing by the rock of Gibraltar. Somefewhours we spent running, reaching, and beating through steam- ships and gun- boats, the majority of the latter ( oh, Neptune ! such brutes), anil then shaped our course for Hyde, on whose wooden pier we enjoyed a lovely evening, and a good look at ehe many fair fashionables who graced the promenade. The following day found us busy in Lymington Creek; the first craft we encountered brought back the recollections of many a happily- spent hour, and, despite her yawl rig, ' twas the old Freak, for all that. She seemed to give us a quiet glance of welcome as she reposed on her soft black bed ; hey, old ship ! the last time we saw thee ' twas careering along in the pomp and pride of a cutter's beauty, manned by a gay and gallant crew; soft music and merry song arose upon thy snow- white decks ; the bravest and sauciest wert thou then, I trow, of a saucy fleet of cutters ; and many a time and oft didst thy white and azure banner wave defiantly in the van. When 1 remembered, Mr Editor, the many merry hours that you and I wot of; of the good and jovial yachtsmen who used to meet in her hospitable cabins; of him of the bear- skin jacket, with the Jersey freetraders round- the- waist petticoats, and Highland hose; of the Rams- gate Rover and the Cambridge Timoneer, I felt that unaccount- able saddening of the spirit which the memory of times past, never to return, will sometimes evoke; and I could hardly bring to mind that the mud- begrimed craft which now lay before me was the smart English clipper which led them all such a merry dance in the Gulf of Finland, long ere the names of Cronstadt or Sebastopol became known to fame. Bidding our old friend a silent adieu, we pursued our rambles, and before long found ourselves knee- deep in chips, wading through Mr Inman's busy premises, gazing at all sorts of craft, new a » d old— the Cork Falcon— the Zoe— the Alarm, of Solent fame ; but the attraction of all was the new 80- ton sloop, building on the lines and under the personal superintendence of that veteran yachtsman the Squire of Lulworth, and a splendid vessel she is, reflecting credit on her designer and builder, but we think may be found more often at the flag- ship as a cutter than a sloop. The morning sun dawned upon us in that quaint little town for which the fame of a yacht builder has acquired a wide- world name, for where that a burgee floats is uot the name of Wanhill known ? leut as if to identify it still further it is always men- tioned in conjunction with the town of Poole ; when we say that the Messrs Wanhill have acquired a fame, for Poole, we think ' that the intellect and talent which has produced such vessels as the Champion, the Secret, the Heroine, the Cygnet, the Cynthia, the Vision, the Bacchante, the Drift, the Freak, the Antagonist, the Foam, the Viola, the Lalla Rookh, the Shark, the Vigilant, the Extravaganza, and many other well- known vessels, may jus- tify the assertion. Messrs Thomas and James Wanhill have been the pioneers in the yacht racing world, and they deserve well at the hands of yachtsmen ; they boldly launched racing craft at times when others were possibly thinking more wisely of profits than improvements, and they have produced more win- ners for their time than any other builders ; we would, however, caution them not to rest too securely on the laurels they have won, for there are two or three competitors now against them that will assuredly give them much to do. Young Will Fyfe of the Fairlie will be hard to beat; he has the secret of combining great power and great speed. Harvey of Ipswich is becoujing a man of note, and assuredly if Hatcher of Southampton never built any vessel but the Glance, she would be enough to make a name for him; we would therefore strongly recommend the Messrs Wanhill not to rest satisfied yet •, there is more to be done, and they ought to be able to do it. Of Ratsey's many fine vessels the Julia cutter and Gloriana schooner are about our favourites ; he will be tested against Will Fyfe in June next, as the Oithona ( 80 tons) is matched against the Julia for 60 sovs a side. Camper's lot presents the names of some of our finest seagoing cruisers— the Dream, Lotus, Beatrice, Fair Rosamond, Nancy Dawson ( of Behring's Straits celebrity), Destiny, Novice, Dryad, Ermicia, Ballerina, Fernando, Sappho, and Czarina. White is also celebrated for his cruisers, amongst whom are the Anaconda, Constance, Enchantress, Miranda, Gipsy Queen, Sybil, Leda, Irene, & c. Itiman likewise exhibits a goodly list in the names of the Fancy, Stella, Rasalind, St Ursula, Claymore, Mavis, and the well- known Alarm. Of the Irish builders, Marshall of Dublin has produced the fastest vessels, and Wheeler of Cork has sent forth some fine cruisers. What the coming season will bring forth from all these builders remains to be seen. We fancy the 80- tou Oithona will be likely to give trouble to most cruisers, and the craft that will feeat her must travel fast. Poole is a prettily situated town, and, viewed by the bright sunlight of a June morning, may compare advantageously with many more favoured sea- ports. We had a run over the building yard with Sir Thomas Wanhill, and a rare yachting yarn rela- tive to things past, present, and to come. The Lalia Rookh was just leaving for London ; our old acquaintances, the Shark and Bacchante, were looking grimly enough, laid up in ordinary ; the pretty little Eva was just developing her fair " proportions on the stocks ; and a 10- ton clipper, named the Bijou, was preparing to start for Irish waters ; the Extravaganza was in the stream, ready for sea; and the Cygnet lay alongside the yard, drying sails— in order to complete which process we embarked on board her Csesar and his saddle- bags ; and, under the kind and hospitable care of our intelligent and cheerful mentor, we had a most agreeable cruise down through Poole Harbour, by Brank- sea Castle, North and South Haven points, through Studlaud Bay. to Swannage ; the gay little Cygnet rattling along before a steady breeze, and reeling off the knots as fast as though she had along day's journey before her. A few days after, Mr Editor, we found ourselves moving gently along the bosom of old Father Thames, in the very midst of slashing clippers of all sizes and rigs, lying quietly at anchor off Southend Pier. We passed the Phantom : then, along like a stately steam- ship, came the Aurora Borealis, and we had scarcely time to note her working, when we fell in with the Mosquito, and Amazon, the Lalla Rookh, and Sappho schooners, together with the Wildfire we passed later in the day; and, off Gravesend, wo fell in with 110 end of craft, large and small, all preparing for the Royal London and Royal Thames Yacht Hlub matches ; but, as fortune would have it, and the disadvantages attending the electric telegraph, our worthy little Petrel called time from the old trysting places, so that, instead of slashing along the Thames in the schooner match of the 14th of June, we were bowling out of the Sloyne as fast as an ebb tide and S. W. wind would carry us. After a short run northwards, we found ourselves, on one glorious June day, entering the harbour of Kingstown. Many a bright burgee was fluttering there; it was the opening regatta of the Irish channel, and as each year brings an increase of cruisers to this favourite station, we were uot in the least sur- prised at finding it devilish hard to pick out a berth; we speedily turned- to to get all to rights, for we had our work cut out for us. Shortly after 10 p. m., on the next morning, the 24thof June, the hoarse, rosr of the warning gun summoned us to the starting buoys; and, as we ranged up alongside of each other, many an anxious eye endeavoured to read the future of that day. We were to go for one hundred bright sovereigns, from the coffers of our goodfriends the St George's; but what was the value of the prize in comparison to the honour and glory! There were seven of us at it, and every man's eye was bright, and his hopes ran high for victory; the Mosquito, the famed Mosquito, had not turned ut>, although a steamer was hovering half channel down to aid the toil- worn and hard- pressed racer; it % vas most vexatious indeed, and we venture to say that there was not one of her com- petitors who did not regret it; we all wanted to have a tug with the iron flyer. At thirteen minutes past eleven o'clock, we took the flash, and were off ere the report of the starting gun reached us, and with a nice breeze at N. W., and flowing sheets, we laid out for the first flag- boat. Your readers. Mr Editor, have had the Dublin Bay course so often described to them, and so many have sailed it, that recapitulation would be needless. The Cymba began first to show in front, but the wary little Glance would not let her increase an inch of water in her distance; the Cyclone, a fine slashing racer, came next, accompanied by Wan- hill a new Vigilant, as likely a looking craft as ever left his splintering timber and the bending mast told their respective j tales of woe, and the Coralie and Cyclone were disabled. On— i onwards we sped— not knowing whose turn was to come next; ! but happy go lucky, trusting to quick eyes and ready i hands, the best stand- by in a race, Cymba and Glance still at each other, and now fairly pitted and clear of the ruck; the Secret and Vigilant, like a brace of sea hawks, astern, on the last rounding of the course. As the vessels neared the Bailey flag boat the wind came fresh out of the N. W., and the Cymba, shaking herself loose, began to forge ahead after a fashion that left but the one impression- she is off to wind ; she had her best point too— a turn to wind- ward— but she had a new crew and anew sailing master, who could hardly be expected for the short time they were in her to know her peculiarities ; a square headed topsail was kept on her at this most critical part of the race, every cloth of which was beating, and flanping, and shaking the vessel down to her very keelson ; it was during this time that the well- handled Glance pulled up her distance, and never let the Cymba go afterwards ; had that gaff topsail been taken in and her top- mast housed on that day! , but no matter, Mr Editor— they say the " hurlers in the ditch are always the best players!" However she lost her match to the Glance, by only three minutes and 33 seconds ; which, taking into consideration that she had a man sailing her antagonist, second not even to the celebrated Jack Nicholl him- self, and who knew every stir and motion of his craft, may justify the opinion that had her sailing master the advantage cf knowing her temper and ways better, the result might have been different. I may be wrong, but I have a strong notion still, that if brought properly to the starting buoys, the vessel has yet to be built, of her class, that will beat the Cymba. On Wednesday, the 25th, we were at it again, and yet no Mosquito turned up. It had been reported by the Holyhead Steamer, that she had been spoken outside the Kish Bank that morning. Eager glasses were levelled to discover the long- looked for clipper, and there, sure enough, upon the horizon appeared the well- known Seagull's Wing of a racer, carrying on too as if she meant to show the stuff she had in her. As she drew in with the land, however, the shining copper told that it was not the Mosquito, although, from the speed with which she came across the bay, it was evident she was an out- and- outer. A few minutes, however, revealed the mystery. As she rounded to she displayed the Royal Northern Burgee, and certainly as fine a vessel as ever swam salt water is Fyfe's new 80- tonuer— the Oithona. At 37 minutes past 12 a. m., we again made the rush for the first flag- boat; the Glance was away with lightning speed, closely attended by the Cyclone and Secret. The Cymba met a mishap at the start, a puff having taken her aback, and thrown her in the wrong cant; however, she quickly recovered herself, and got well off in company with the Odalique schooner, the Mabella, Foam, and Coralie, At the flag- boat off the Muglins, the Cymba began to make sailing through the leading fleet; she forged up alongside the Cyclone, passed the Secret, raced the Glance for some twenty minutes, and went into the first place ; the Glance, however, seemed to have measured her able antagonist, to know that she had not been brought to the post fit as she ought to be, and that nothing save half a gale could give her a chance with such a wary and practised racer hanging upon her quarter. As we neared the light- ship the wind fell light with the leading vessels, and all formed a line abreast, racing right for the ship. The schooner, the Odalique, asto- nished us all, running beam and beam with the fastest clipper of her day. It now became rather a ticklish matter, eight vessels running for the same point, not one of whom seemed inclined to flinch an inch. At length ' twas reached; ye gods, what a crash! Such splintering of bowsprits, and smashing of bulwarks, and flying aloft of topsails, topmasts coming by the run, and cross- trees crackling like a furze brake on fire. How we ever got clear I know not, but when we did, the Mabella was jammed against the light- ship a regular smash; the poor little Uoralie, that had sailed so well, had her topmast cross- trees and topsail over the side, and everybody, more or less, was struggling out of the mel6e. When we got all trimmed down, there was a uni- versal burst of laughter, so at it we we » t again as merry as grigs, The Glance, en getting clear, shot into the windward berth; next her followed the Foam, with the Cymba abeam to leeward, the Cyclone and Secret in their wakes ; the Odalique bore up, and the Coralie and Mabella repairing damages. A beautifully sailed race took place for a couple of miles between the Glance, Foam, and Cvmba ; the Foam went like a witch, and not au inch could her antagonists get away from her. At length, however, the Cymba began to run up under her lee, gave a slight spring, and went out on her weather quarter, and then hard and fast at it went the Glance and Cymba; down came the latter vessel's topmast and topsail at once, and the Glance shifted her topsail for a narrow- headed one, but the wind fell light again, and the Glance overhauled the Cymba considerably. At the last flag- boat the latter vessel again drew out, got up her topmast, and set square- headed gaff topsail for the run home; she now slashed along in splendid style, but her determined rival was equally as smart; she had her narrow- headed topsail shifted like magic as she weathered the flag- boat and bore away, hot upon the tracks of the flying Cymba, Just at this period the low, graceful hull of the anxiously expected Mosquito, distinguished by her white streak, appeared to leeward, her decks crowded with a large party of yachtsmen. It was now a question of the wind whether the Cymba would keep enough into the harbour to hold her time, but the race had been decided long before, when the breeze fell light off the Bailey - v the Glance's weather topmasts shrouds giving unmistakeable signs of distress, her topsail had to be lowered in the cap, " another chance for the Cymba!" was the cry— but ere it had well been uttered the topsail was away aloft again and set. No, no, there was too smart a hand in the Glance to throw away a chance that could be saved. In this match the Glance won by 5min Slsec of her time, the Cymba coming in 3min 9sec ahead of her.

As the time approaches at which the respective merits of the oarsmen of our universities will be decided on the London river any notice of their doings, however brief, cannot but be accept- able to that vast number of old hands that still take an interest in their successors. On Monday last the Oxford eight, which had been in a kind of desultory practice for some days, entered upon their ceurse of strict training; on the same day also they launched and rowed for the first time in the new boat built for them by Mathew Taylor, of Newcastle, who, it will be remem- bered, built the boat iw which Chester won last summer at Hen- ley. The present ship is built much after the same fashion, and is 55 feet iu length and 25 inches greatest beam; she appeared to carry the crew very well, went light off hand, and was very steady considering that, being built after the northern fashion, with the stroke oar on the starboard side, her crew had to row in unaccustomed places. On the towing path we observed W. Meade King, Esq, T. Marshall, Esq, and other university oars- men of times gone by. The following are the names of the crew : et lb 6. R. W. Risley, Exon 11 6 7. A. P. Lonsdale, Balliol .... 12 8. J. T. Thorley, Wadham.... 10 F. W. Elers, Trinity ( cox).. 9 st lb 1. J. Arkell, Pembroke 11 8 2. P. Gurdon, University .... 11 3 3. W. H. Wood, University .. 12 6 4. R. Martin, Corpus 12 4 5. E. Warre, BaEiol 12 7 It is hardly necessary to say that changes may take place before the crew appears in London; but we sincerely hope that fewer even than usual of those mishaps may arise which the initiated are aware almost invariably attend a training eight. The only change we shall hope to see will be in the weights, which a closer acquaintance with the Parks or Christchurch Meadows, and a visit or two to Abingdon Lasher, will no doubt materially alter. We hope to be able to give the names of the adverse party next week. We understand that yesterday ( Saturday) was to be their first day of practice, having been delayed by the College Races— a delay which will most probably be severely felt. It has been proposed by Oxford, and, we believe, agreed to by Cambridge, that the race shall take place on Friday, April 3d, instead of Saturday, as originally fixed, in order to allow those who come from distant parts to reach home comfortably before the Sunday. Such an arrangement will doubtless be a great convenience, but it will render it more imperative that the race be rowed with the ebb from Mortlake to Putney, as last year. Geo. West, the well- known Oxford waterman, has chartered one of the Citizen steamers to accompany the race, particulars of which will be found elsewhere. Messrs Searle have just finished a new eight- oared boat for Exeter College, which appears to be of ex- cellent form and finish; she is 62 feet in length, and possesses greater floor fore and aft than usual. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. EIGHT OARED RACES. These races commenced on Monday last, and, owing to the fairness of the weather, much good sport was exhibited on " Father Cam." In our next ( by which time the races will be terminated) we shall give a fuller and more particular account of the racing. The brackets denote the bumps.

There ensued but little change until we neared the light- ship off the Kish Bank; in field sports parlance, " a blanket might have covered us all"— there seemed to exist a strong gravitative attraction binding us together. The Cymba and Glance were the first to break the spell; the Coralie seemed to think it time to go likewise, and began to walk up the water between herself and her formidable rivals at rare The Cyclone nest broke the magic circle, when, lo, the ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The usual monthly meeting of this club was held at the Bed ford Hotel, Covent- garden, on Wednesday last, when the fol lowing fixtures for the forthcoming season were made.

Green ( the vice), Mr Hutchons ( the trea- surer), and other officers of the club, with a slight exception, have been unanimously re- elected for the ensuing year. - ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. There was a full meeting of the members of this society, at their club house, Duke- street, Liverpool, on Monday evening last, when Mr A. Rimmer, architect, was elected a member, and MrW. Cooper, hon sec R. W. Y. C., of Ireland, was proposed for membership. The subscription for the present year fell due at this meeting. The annual election of officers also had to take place. The present officers were thanked for their services, and the Commodore and his officers were all re- elected, Mr Grin- nell being called to the chair in the interregnum. The very warm and cordial feeling of Mr Grinnell, who possesses a large heart in the cause of yachting, and the interest he feels in the welfare of this club, was the cause of much admiration to the members present. The business of the evening concluded with a resolution that the club commence the season by dining toge- ther at the Rock Ferry Hotel, on Monday, the 6th April. ROYAL ST GEORGE'S YACHT CLUB, IRELAND. On Monday, the2d inst, the annual " reading out dinner" took place at the club- house, Kingstown Harbour, and was pre- sided over by Commodore the Marquis Conyngham. The vice- chair being filled by Vice- Commodore Lord Otho Fitzgerald, the members, to the number of thirty- eight, partook of the enter- tainment, which was replete with the best of good cheer, and perfect in all its details, having afforded unlimited satisfaction to those whose gastronomic researches fully entitle them to criticise. The meeting passed off with the greatest eclat, and the cordiality with which the healths of the Commodore, the Vice- Commodore, and the committee was proposed and received, was most gratifying to those whose best exertions have not been wanting to make the club what it is, prosperous, comfortable, and happy. The names of those who were behindhand in their subscriptions having all been answered to within the time pre- scribed, the proceeding concluded in a manner that left nothing to be desired but a recurrence of so pleasant an event. PRINCE OP WALE? YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club will be held at the club- house, Freemasons' Tavern, on Tuesday next, the 10th inst, at eight o'clock, p. m.

On Monday last, the usual monthly meeting of this club was held at the Freemasons'Tavern, the president, R, N. Philipps, Esq, occupying the chair. At the termination of the ballot for new members, a lengthened discussion took place in reference to the approaching regatta at Kingston, towards which it was ultimately resolved that £ 20 should be subscribed by this asso- ciation in addition to the private contributions of individual members. The arrangements for the anniversary dinner on the 6th of April were referred to the General Committee. To accom- pany the match between the universities it was ordered that a steam- boat should be engaged, on board of which members should be allowed to introduce ladies, members of their own family and friends, upon! procuring voucher tickets of the secre- tary, endorsed with the names of the ladies proposed to be introduced. AQUATICS AT ETON COLLEGE. On Tuesday last the Etonians commenced their boating sea- son in earnest, under the command of their excellent captain, Mr Baring, and, from their first pull up to Old Surly, we may readily imagine the season will be a very lively one. All that is wished for— and we see no reason why it should not be— is, that there may be an aquatic struggle between Westminster and the Etonians. The following are the names cf the crews :— UPPER BOATS.— The Monarch: Baring ( Captain of the Boats), Hankey ma, Norman, Hornby, Bowyer. Whitmore, Mr Trench, Harvey, Ainsworth, Mr Stanley, Smith ( cos).— The Victory: Lubbock, Max ( second captain), Vande Weyer, Hussey, Wynne, Craven, Wingfield, Atkinson, Hall, Wood ( cox).— The Prince of Wales : Lawless ( captain), Croft, Brewer, Harle, Pinckney, Col- lings, Lane Fox, Hancocks, Clayton ( cox).

KINGSTON- ON- THAMES REGATTA. The following note, accompanying the liberal donation of £ 20 to the funds of the regatta, lias been received from the honorary secretary of the Thames Subscription Club:—" To the secretary of the Kingston Regatta, Sir: I have received instructions to inform you that, at a meeting of the Thames Subscription Club, held on Monday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, it was unanimously resolved that the sum of £ 20 should be subscribed by the club, towards the funds of the Kingston Regatta, the members feel- ing that in many respects your neighbourhood presents facilities and attractions for an a mati [ gathering, which are certainly unsurpassed, and probably unequalled elsewhere on the Thames, I have the honour to be, & e, JOSIAS NOTTIDGE, Hon. Sec." • THE LATE KINGSTON REGATTA. MR EDITOR : LA reply to the letters of your correspondents " Horror Struck," and " Frale," which appeared in last week's Bell, I beg to observe that they entirely mistake the object I had in view in giving the advice which has been made the subject of animadversion. That object was not, as they would seem to in- timate, the recovery of a certain piece of plate of a certain value, but a legal and authoritative settlement of a question which had been much discussed, viz, whether under circumstances such as those which occurred at the Kingston Regatta the decision of an umpire was absolutely and indisputably binding both on committee and on competitors. I had always considered that it was so, but when I heard many opinions, pro and con, warmly advocated by rowing men— some occupying a prominent position on the river— I felt it was time that the question should be con- clusively set at rest, I was anxious to procure the decision, not as " Mr Horror Struck" elegantly expresses it, " of an ignorant decision of the bench," but of a calm disinterested tribunal which might assist our judgment, and serve as a guide for the future, under similar circumstances, should such unfortunately occur. No one than myself would " express more indignation and unfeigned regret " at finding " trials of manly skiil and as- firatior^ to athletic honours brought down to the level of £ s. d." repudiate the aspersions which have been made. I sought merely for certainty on a point where uncertainty hitherto has often prevailed. My wish ever has been not to lower, but to en- courage the manly science of rowing, and if my motives be dis- passionately weighed, they cannot, I feel coavinced, have that interpretation put upon them which, I grieve to observe, has been attempted,—- Yours See, THE TREASURER or THE R. T. N. R. THE LATE RYDE REGATTA. MR EDITOR : Your correspondent " A Poole Yachtsman, has justly enough enumerated various of the mis- arrangements which detract from the success of regattas; but when he asks " upon what pretext were cutters forced to give time to schooners at the last regatta of the R. V. Y. C.?" he would appear to be ignorant of the table known as " Acker's Scale," and that the committee of the above club only adopted a system universally known for many years, founded not on PRETEXT, but on prac tice, which has demonstrated that fast cutters of 50 to 100 tons— Mosquito, Yolante, Arrow, & c, & c— are, in light weather, equal in speed to schooners of double their tonnage. That it is desi- rable to have separate matches for vessels of each rig, must be admitted; but when a club possesses too few racing yachts to bring to the post a fair number of equally matched vessels of one class, some arrangement like the scale in question appears inevitable. The error at Ryde was in the selection of the course ( round the Nab and Calshot light ships), which, with a south west wind, was a reach the entire distance, thus giving to the schooners an advantage never intended in the scale; which is calculated for a fair trial— a run, a reach, and a beat. Had these conditions been complied with, the result would have been different, especially had not the fastest cutter ( Arrow) been hors de combat, by the loss of her mast two days previously. For thus adhering to a stereotyped course, in defiance of the ele- ments, and for the equally great error of allowing owners of contending vessels a vote in the proceedings of the Sailing Com- mittee (!), the above club is open to criticism. To its credit, however, be recorded the praiseworthy innovation of giving a prize open to all ciubs— a practice revived last season by the R. Y. S. also. Let us hope that the ensuing summer may witness a repetition of such politic liberality, worthy of praise from all members of the Pleasure Navy. SINBAD. WEST AND EAST COUNTRY BUILDERS. MR EDITOR : To you who know and can appreciate the praise* worthy emulation existing in the present day amongst our ship builders and designers, and whose motto has always been Audi alteram ' partem, I need make no apology for troubling you with this communication. Looking over your yachting column in November last, I was much interested by a letter from the west- ward, giving an account of two schooners built by rival builders, Ratsey of Cowes, and Harvey of Ipswich, for the Liverpool pilot service. The writer went on to describe the west country vessel lying in wait for their rival from the east, falling in with her, and thrashing her on all tacks. Now this was all true, no doubt, but it struck me that being only on her passage round to the station they had had no time or opportunity to ascertain the proper trim, & c, of Harvey's schooner, and every nautical man is aware that all the designer's nicety and judgment are of- little avail, if not assisted by care in ascertaining the proper trim, ballasting, & c, of the craft. I have seen many remarkable in- stances of this. My supposition proves to be correct, as the fol- lowing extract from a letter lately received by Mr Harvey from Mr Hudson, the owner of the vessel in question ( Leader No. 2) will show:—" I have to inform you that we have beaten the Queen on three occasions this last cruise. Mr Hughes gave us a challenge, then blowing a strong breeze, but I leave you to imagine the way he was in when we passed him, which we did in a short time, when we hoisted the commodore's flag. We have re- ballasted since, through which we are much improved, so the Queen has no chance with us now." I think this settles the question of speed, and, as the west countrymen have had their say, will you in justice to Mr Harvey let them hear A VOICE PROM THE EASTERN COUNTIES. PEDESTRIAUISM. REFUGE ON COAST. The fearful loss of life and property in the North Sea during the January gales has attracted a good deal of attention in the mercantile communities to the imperative necessity of forming a harbour of refuge somewhere on the north- east seaboard between the Yarmouth- roads and the Tyne. Various projects are under discussion, each locality advocating its own particular scheme. Redcar, Hartlepool Bay, and northward of the Tyne, Newbiggen Bay, have been suggested as eligible sites. Mr Murray, the engineer of the Sunderland Docks, has a magnificent scheme to form a harbour of 600 acres in Hendon Bay, by the side of the ocean track from London to the coal ports; and the River Tyne Improvement Commissioners also urge that they should have aid from the Treasury to extend the pier- works now in course of formation, so as to make the noble estuary of the Tyne a harbour of refuge in gales of wind. Mr James Mather, one of the River Tyne Improvement Commissioners, adduces the following facts in a petition he has presented to the House of Lords in proof that such a place of shelter should be made by the Government:— He says a harbour of refuge on the north- east coast of England would save annually from destruction a large number of British seamen and a great amount of shipping property. That out of 1,141 wrecks and casualties ( according to the " Admiralty Wreck Register" for 1S56) 576, or upwards of one- half, took place upon the east coast. And on this coast for 260 miles, from Yarmouth Roads to the Frith of Forth, there is no harbour of refuge for vessels caught in gales from the eastward. That in the year 1852, within a radius of seventy miles of the river Tyne, about one- fourth of the wrecks of the kingdom occurred ; and that iu a single easterly gale in October of that year, within twenty nau- tical miles of the Tyne, 69 lives were sacrificed in a few hours. That in the beginning of January, 1854, by another easterly gale, 110 wrecks occurred in three days within the same radius, by which upwards of a quarter of a million sterling of British shipping and other property was destroyed and a largo number of British seamen was sacrificed; and at the mouth of the same river, which was sought by a large fleet for shelter during the gale, 36 wrecks occurred, one- fourth of which only belonged to the port. The crews of the wrecked vessels, with the exception of one, were, however, all gallantly saved by the life- boat. That in the terrible gale from the north- east, upon the 5th of January in the present year, within a radius of fifty miles from the Tyne, aud in the same bay, 94 ships went on shore or foundered, by which in a few hours 167 lives were miserably destroyed, and a large amount of property was entirely lost. That within twenty nautical miles of the river Tyne, where these terrible disasters are crowded so fatally together, a great amount of shipping is perpetually on the coast, trading to and from the three north eastern rivers, the Tyne, the Wear, and the Tees, with their tri- butaries. The five ports on these rivers, it is recorded in the last year's parliamentary Return on Shipping, had upwards of 8,100,000 tons inwards and outwards, of which one half belonged to the Tyne, being about one- sixth of the entire trading tonnage of the kingdom, and more than that of the Thames. That during the year upwards of 57,000 vessels from those ports were thus exposed day and night in all weathers upon the dangerous north- east coast, whose harbours are hermetically sealed, the sooner and the more closely the heavier the gale. In such gales those of them at the time upon the coast not able to keep the sea or enter a harbour speedily founder, or are dashed and wrecked upon this disastrous lee shore. That, in addition, there is also a large number of vessels at no distance in the North Sea passing along the coast, or bound to and from the Baltic and the northern ports of Europe, which, with those already specified, do not amount to less than 120,000 vessels a- year thus exposed. That the south coast of England, according to the last parlia- mentary return ( 1856, No. 122), had less than 3,000,000 of trading tonnage ( the Tyne itself has upwards of 4.000.000), which has been provided by the Government jcith four harbours of refuge still constructing, and having cost already nearly £ 2,000,000 sterling, annually increasing, while the more than 9,000,000 of tonnage of the north- east coast is left entirely without a harbour of refuge. MAYS AND MILLER.— This scullers race came off last week, Mays having consented to waive his claim to a forfeit in con- sideration of the stakes being increased to £ 10 a side. There is a considerable difference in the make aud size of the men, Miller being about 5ft llinches high, and weighing ll$ st, while May's height does not exceed 5ft 8 inches, aud his weight 9st 31b. When the word was given they bounded away at great speed, Miller having the best of the start, but before they had got 30 yards Mays was a clear length ahead, and from that to the finish was always drawing away from Miller. The distance was about two miles and a half, and was vowed in 15 minutes. At the finish Miller was two minutes behind Mays. The boat that Mays pulled in was built by Mr J, B. M'Neil, of Glasgow, who also trained him. KELLY AND MESSENGER.— The next deposit of £ 20 a side, in this great match, is to be made to- morrow ( Monday), at Mr Hig- gins's, Artichoke Inn, Richmond, when a strong muster of the friends of both men is expected to support the landlord, who, although but recently entered on business for himself, has long been a staunch supporter of aquatics. Kelly has already taken up his quarters at Mr Salter's, Feathars, Wandsworth, and will immediately commence his course of training. T. GRANT met T. Day at his house, to make a match, according to challenge, when Day refused to row in less than three months. Grant will, however, meet him half way, and row in six weeks. If this suits Day, Grant's friends will be prepared to draw up articles and make a deposit on Wednesday evening next, at Mr T. Jameson's, Camden'z Head, Church- lane, Limehouse. WM. CARR of Skinners Burn, Newcastle- on- Tyne, will row Robert Candlish, the younger brother of James Candlish, from the High Level Bridge to the Meadows, for £ 5 or £ 25 a side, the Editor of Bell's Life to be stakeholder. The match can be made on Monday ( to- morrow) evening, at Mr Lancelot Tulip's, Tiger Inn, Close, Newcastle. HILL AND MAY.— A match has been made between Henry Hill and Edward Hill, to row from Putney to Mortlake, or vice versa, in old fashioned boats, for £ 5 a side, on Tuesday, March 31. We have received the articles, together with 10s a side, and the next deposit of £ 110s a side is to be made at Mr Weston's, Bell, Addle- hill, on Monday ( to- morrow) evening. NAUTILUS ROWING CLUB.— A meeting of the members of this club will take place on Wednesday next, March 11th, when all the members are requested to attend, and any person wishing to become a member will reeeive every explanation by applying at the bar, at Mr Fell's, Old Swan, Queen's- road West, Chelsea. GEORGE WADE of Stone Stairs, understanding that Anson of Blackwall, wishes for a match, will row him in old- fashioned boats, from North Woolwich to Limehouse Hole* for his own sum. By applying at the New; Englaud Lighthouse, Stone Stairs, on Tuesday evening next, a match cau be insured. R. FENDALL will row W. Foster of the Arundel Unity Club a scullers race, from Putney Bridge to Barnes Railway Bridge, for any amount he likes. R. F. will be at Mr Potter's, King's Arms, Houghton- street, Clare Market, next Tuesday evening, at 10 o'clock, prepared to make the match. THE CYNTHIA cutter, 50 tons, the property; of H. Roe, jun, was sold last week at Portsmouth. MATCHES TO COME.

PRESERVATION OP LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK. On Thursday a meeting of the Royal- National Life Boat In- stitution was held at its house, John- street, Adelphi, Thomas Chapman, Esq, F. R. S., in the chair. Mr Lewis, the secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting, the silver medal of the institution was presented to Captain Hipplewhite, in acknowledgment of his several services in rescuing life from shipwreck in the life- boat of the society stationed at Hauxley, This life- boat, manned by Captain Hipplewhite and others, saved, on a recent occasion, the crews, consisting of sixteen per- sons, from two vessels wrecked uear Hauxley, during a fearful gale. The silver medal of the society was also voted to Robert Shieldon, coxswain of the Redscar life- boat, in testimony of his gallant services on various occasions in saving life from ship- wreck. The life- boat of the institution stationed at South- wold was, on the night of the 9th ult, instrumental in saving the brig Pensher, of Sunderland, and her crew of seven men. When the life- boat approached the vessel there were seven feet of water in her hold, and the sea was making a com- plete breach over her decks. The life- boat's crew, however, after great difficulty and unceasingly working at tbe pumps, succeeded in saving both the vessel aud the crew, for which they had received an adequate compensation. A reward of £ 11 was also granted to the crew of the Kessingland seamen's life- boat, for their laudable services in saving the crew of four men of the schooner Friends of Eliza, of West Hartlepool, which was stranded in the night, during heavy and. thick weather, near Kessingland Coast Guard station. A reward of £ 10 was also voted to five men, in consideration of their prompt and laudable conduct in putting off, at the risk of their lives, in a shore- boat, and rescuing two fishermen who had beea upset from their boat during squally weather on Irvine Bar. The silver medal of the institution and £ 2 each were voted to Mr William Pillar, gunner; to Mr William Cockrom, steward of H. M. revenue cruiser Eagle; to Mr George Hughes, pilot; and to another pilot, whose name we could not learn; and £ 16 to be divided between their boats' crews of eight men, in acknowledgment of their gallant conduct in rescuing, at the imminent peril of their lives, six out of fifteen of the crew of the Boadicea, which was some weeks since wrecked off Guernsey, during a fearful N. E. gale of wind. The thanks of the institution, inscribed on vellum, were also presented to Lieut Standbridge. R. N.. commander of the Eagle, to Mr George Scott, master of the steam- tug Watt, and and to the master of the Pilot cutter, for their valuable services on that occasion. Various other rewards were voted by the in- stitution for laudable services in savins; life from wrecks. It was reported that the East India Company, the Royal Exchange Assurance Company, and the Marine Insurance Company, had POST OFFICE OBDBKS for Deposits, in which the EDITOB OF BBIX'B LIFE IN LONDON is made stakeholder, must be made payable to " WILLIAM CLEMENT," at the Post Office, Strand, and addressed to this office. Country notes cannot be taken; they will in all in- stances be sent back. MR ALCOCE'S SUBSCRIPTION.— We have this week received 5s from J. W. Barrett, Black Horse, Thames- street, Rotherhithe. It'seems to be a general notion that subscriptions would flow in much more readily were the public assured that the case would be proceeded with and an opinion obtained. This mayor may not happen; but we are assured that if abandoned, Mr Alcoek would not object to the money collected being devoted to regatta funds or some charitable institution. THE GREEN MAN, GREEN- STREET, CHURCH- STREET, BLACK- ESIARS- ROAD.— The renowned Tom Cole would be always glad to see his friends at his house to assist in a little harmony.

PEDESTRIANISM AT ETON COLLEGE. On Saturday week, the 28th ult, the Collegians' Steeple Chase, confined to the fourth form, took place over lands be- longing to Messrs Atkins and Lillywhite, commencing at Eton Wick Common, crossing the ditch to Chalvey, bearing to the right again over Chalvey ditch, going under the Great Western Railway on to Colenorton ( which they crossed several times), then to Willowbrook, finishing in the Timbrells. Distance two miles and a half, over seven water leaps and seven hedges. The following were brought to the post by Mr Short, the starter : Rixon, Barne mi, Herbert, Fitzgerald, Freeth, Tayleur, Ker, Legg, Nash, Harper, Rushout mi, Webb, Bradney, Snider, Grant mi, Buorton, Rose, and Goslin mi. The race was quickly run, during which there were several alterations and mishaps, the " duckings" in the various brooks being innu- merable. Eventually the umpire ( Mr Brown) declared Mr Her- bert the winner by 20 yards, RushouC second, Barna mi third, Fitzgerald fourth, and Gosliu mi fifth; the others were a long way in the rear. The annual flat race of one mile was commenced on Thursday, in the presence of nearly the whole of the school. There were also several of the masters, officers, and townspeople present. The ground chosen was a straight road, starting near Turner's, at Etonwick, and finishing at the " Slads." For the first heat the following started: Lane, Fax, Stauley, Atkinson, Van- de- Weyer, Lord Hinchiabrook, and Follett. The race was well contested to the Sanatorium, where Van- de- Weyer led the way, followed by Stanley, Atkinson aud Lord Hinchinbrook next; between this point and the railway the two latter passed Stanley, but they were unable to catch Van- de- Weyer, who ran in the winner by a dozen yards from Atkinson, the latter being rather more than a yard before " his lordship," Stanley fourth, Lane Fox fifth, and Follett, who was a long way behind, last. Second heat: Pepys, Rawliuson, Saunders, Harle, and Croft, started. This was also a good race to tiae Sanatorium. Mr Harle, at this point, was a good dozen yards in front of Itawlin- son, who put on a most determined " spurt," and collared Harle at 70 yards from the finish, and eventually won by ten yards; Croft was third, and Saunders fourth. Mr Pepys dropped " dead beat" at the Sanatorium. For the third heat, which appeared to be the fastest race of the three, the following contended: Messrs Patten, Turner, Craven, Kekewick, Brandon, aud Wink- field; they were all placed in the order uamed. The first two in each heat ran for the final heat yesterday ( Saturday), the result of which we shall give next week.

The church bells of Stowmarket, Suffolk, were reopened a few days since by the company of ringers belonging to that town, with an excellent peal of bob majors, and were continued in motion during the greater part of the day, the Ipswich giving some excellent peals of treble bobs and Stedman's triples. The bells were in excellent order, and the exertions of Mr Green, who superintended the re- hanging, were highly appreciated by all the ringers present, who, in the afternoon, repaired to the Red Lion Inn, where, through the liberality of the vicar, church- wardens, and inhabitants of Stowmarket, an excellent dinner was provided for them by host Cuthbert.

On Saturday, the 28th ult, a steeple chase, which, we trust, will be continued annually, came off amongst the Marlburians, and, since it was somewhat of a novelty, attracted a large con- course of spectators, At two o'clock, twenty competitors ap- peared in line, hard by the grand stand on the Marlbrough race- course, which place had been selected as the spot for " throwing off," The course was a very severe one, the distance being more than three miles, iu which there were thirty jumps of various kinds. The line of country was as follows :— Across the common, over two formidable fences to the Ogbourne road, crossing that, over a waterjump and some dozen fences to Poulton, from thence, passing more water, into the Mildenhall road, over the bridge, and up the hill to the left; then, passing through Mi- May's farm, over some very stiff fencing, including a pretty " double," right away for Poulton copse; then turning to the right across the Aldbourne road, over some grass land to the Mildenhall road, from thence down a hill to the water meadows, where, after crossing a rattling jump of nineteen feet, was the winning post. At starting the betting was 2 to 1 OH Mr Reade, though there was not wanting some who thought that Mr Phelps would show in the front. The whole lot got off well together, but Mr Dolphin soon rushed to the front, and took the lead over the first fence in fine style, closely followed by Messrs Black- burne, Phelps, and Mason. The lead was maintained by Mr Dolphin for about half a mile, when a " plough" which was to be crossed seemed to have too many attractions for him. His place was now filled by Messrs Reade and Mason, and close in their wake could be. seen Messrs Morrell and Way ; Mr Phelps lying back about fifth, and running well within himself. When, however, two miles had been run, the fences, which at this point became somewhat more than a joke, proved an almost impenetrable barrier to Mr Reade, and, in a short time, Mr Phelps gained a decided lead, which he did not afterwards lose, but cramming on his best pace, left all the field considerably in his rear, and came in an easy winner by a good two hundred yards, having accomplished the run in twenty- three minutes. Mr Pigott made a plucky effort to defeat Mason for the second place, but could not quite effect his purpose; Mr Blackburne a good fourth. We cannot compliment the stewards too much on their exertions, as everything gained the entire approbation of beth winners and spectators alike. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC SPORTS. The Alma Mater of our sister kingdom was on Saturday, 28th February, the arena for a series of athletic sports and manly contests, which, neither in the vigour with which they were carried on, nor in the general interest which they excited, could be surpassed in the most favoured resorts of the lovers of manly sport. The matches, as will be seen from the list we give below, were numerous and well contested, and it will be observed that the pace was exceedingly good, considering the youth and inexperience of the competitors. The College Park formed an excellent ground, that portion chosen for the sports being a level plot of about half a mile in circumference, ad- mirably adapted for the convenience as well of competitors as spectators. Both classes were very numerous, the latter num- bering at least 3,000, and comprising many of the elite of Dublin and the vicinity. The day was unusually fine j the sun shone with all its splendour, casting its enlivening rays on the grey and sombre walls of the time- honoured university, the green slopes and ancient trees not yet adorned with the luxuriant ver- dure of summer, aud the gay dresses of the ladies who con- descended for once to honour with their presence precincts within which they are not often seen, and whose bright eyes in- spired the youthful competitors with the fixed resolve to die or win. It is many years since a similar contest has taken place within the walls of Trinity College. We hope that the great success which has attended the efforts of the students, and " the high character of the performances, may excite a worthy ambition to place their college high in the list of those one of whose greatest honours it is to excel in manly sports. We un- derstand that a similar fete is intended to take place in May next, and we sincerely wish them all success in their under- taking. A. S. Forster and C. Scott, Esquires, held the arduous post of judges, while Mr W. Cahoun performed the duty of starter to the entire satisfaction of all parties. The entrances for the 150 yards race were no less than 21 in number. It was accordingly run in heats, each being most closely and ably contested; it was finally won by J. A. Donnelly, Esq, whose style of running ex- cited universal admiration. This gentleman was also the suc- cessful competitor in all the trials of strength, proving that he possessed the qualities of Hercules as well as Hermes. The hurdle race was won with a severe struggle, the pace being extremely good. Moore, Esq, was the successful competitor, E. Lloyd, Esq, being the next in merit. S. Madden and J. Bristowe, Esquires, both veterans, proved their superiority in the long jump, and, although the former gentleman was the victor, he did not win his laurels without difficulty. Mr Bris- towe was winner at the high jump. The final event was a flat race of one mile and a half, which was ably won by R. W. Enraght, Esquire, in nine minutes.

SATURDAY, FEB 28.— The weather this afternoon was fine and there was a numerous attendance of visitors, upwards of 600 persons being present. MORRIS AND TURNER.— W. Morris and M. Turner are both residents of Manchester, and they met to run 200 yards for £ 5 a side, Turner receiving five yards start inside. The betting was 7 to 4 on Morris. The men got off on equal terms, but Little Morris soon began to gain upon his opponent, and when half the distance had been traversed, was nearly abreast, the race then being a very interesting one. On arriving within thirty yards of home, the favourite looked like a winuer, and from this point the contest was excellent, Turner eventually proving the victor, but by only half a yard. KENT AND HARRISON.— Simon Kent of Middleton, and Wm, Harrison of Hulme, are both well known to the admirers of pedestrianism in the neighbourhood of Manchester, and they stripped to run 440 yards, for £ 15 a side ( if we say instead of that sum, the gate money, it would be nearer the truth) Har- rison to have five yards start. Mr J. H. Thomas was selected referee, but no betting took place, and we shall not waste either time or space in describing the farce, further than to say that Kent came in first by two yards. In order to stop such " gags," Mr Attenbury has determined that, in future, he will not allow gate money, unless the stakes to be run for are deposited in the hands of some respectable person. MONDAY.— This afternoon about 700 persons assembled to witness the pedestrian events arranged for decision, but, as will be seen, they were doomed to disappointment. NELSON AND HOLDEN— The expected sprint race of 120 yards, for £ 10 a side, between Andrew Nelson of Hulme and Robert Holden of Salford did not come off, Nelson having forfeited the £ 5 down. ROBERTS AND FORSTER.— NO RACE.— The arrangement be- tween Edw. Roberts ( alias the Welshman) of Wortley and Joseph Forster of Dewsbury was to run 140 yards, for a side, at the Salford Borough Gardens, and this afternoon | _ been agreed upon for the event to be decided. Tbe men en the course, aud Mr Holden took his position as referee. TL \ tting was 2 to 1 on Roberts, at which price a large sum was invested. The men stood at scratch the full time allowed by the articles, and a pistol was then brought as a signal for start, but before it was fired " a screw" was said to be " loose," bets Were declared off, and the race was not decided. This, of course, gave consi- derable dissatisfaction to the spectators, and expressions were given utterance to which were not of the most complimentary character, Mr Holden retains possession of the stakes until the parties can come to some satisfactory arrangement. NEW MATCH.— INGHAM AND POMPRET.— Johu Ir. gham of Rochdale and John Pomfret of Blackburn have signed articles to run 170 yards, for £ 25 a side, at the Salford Borough Gardens, on the 4th of April, Pomfret to have three yards start. £ 5 each have been deposited with Mr Holden, which is to be made into t 4.

HORROCKS AND MARGETTS.— MATCH ros £ 100— On Monday last the quarter of a mile spin, for £ 50 a side, between these well known clippers came off at a place called The Firs, on the © unchurch road, within three miles and a half of Rugby, in presence of nearly 2,000 spectators, amongst whom were many well known Turf men, who were on their way from the metro- polis to the Liverpool Races. The match excited much interest in the sporting world, from the antecedent celebrity acquired by both men as first- rate sprint runners. Harry Margetts has been a professional pedestrian for about three years, during which time he has contended with some of the fastest runners in the kingdom, amongst others with Stainor, Welsh, Patterson ( the Flying Tailor), Constable, Boulton Phillips, Telford, Howard, Watson, Pudney, Westhall, Smith, and Preston. His last achievement, previous to the present one, was on the 4th of August last year, when he defeated Kent of Woodenbox in a race of 440 yards', for £ 25 a side, on the same road as the match of Monday came off on. He was born at Oxford, is twenty- eight years of age, height 5ft Siin, and weighed last Monday 9st 4lb. Joseph Horrocks comes from Halifax, is a year or t wo older than Margetts, 5ft llin high, and weighs list; he, like his opponent, lias been matched with seme of our first class pedestrians before now, viz, H. A. Seed ( twice), Hancock, Hosspool, Kent, Lawson, and several others of equal note. The odds previous to starting stood at 3 to 2 on Margetts, but no great amount of money changed hands upon the occasion. The men toed the scratch at about four o'clock, when both appeared in excellent condition. Marsretts had trained at Doncaster under the cereful tuition of Shaw of Leeds, and Horrocks bad taken his breathings at Preston with Jerry Jims. At the sixth attempt the men got away, Margetts with a decided lead, which he kept throughout, and ran in the winner by one yard and a half. It was considered to be a slow race for such crack runners. We do not know the exact time. Margetts can have the stakes by calling at our office next Thursday at twelvfe o'clock. ANDREWS AND COOKJS-— The match between H. Andrews of Hoiborn and Charles Cooke of Marylebone, for £ 5 a side, came off, according to articles, on Monday last, on Sadler's running ground, Ga: ratt- lane, Wandsworth. . The distance was one mile, out of which Andrews received a start of 30 yards. The day was very fine, but the attendance of spectators was exceedingly small. Betting was 5 to 4 on Andrews, but as far as wa could learn there was very little money ventured on the result. At about half- past three o'clock the men took up their relative position?, and in a short time proceeded on their trip. During the first lap Cooke gaihed but little, if anything, ou his oppo- nent; in the second he crept within some twelve or fifteen yards of him, but throughout the third a material falling off in bis pr. ee was perceptible, while on the contrary Andrews im- proved, and finally won as he pleased. The winner can have the stakes bv calling at our office next Thursday at twelve o'clock. FIFTY MILES A DAY FOR SIX CONSECUTIVE DAYS- CHARLES ELSON of Northampton, on Saturday, the 28th of Fe- bruary, accomplished jtlie trying task of walkins: 50 miles a day for six consecutive days— three hundred miles in the week— in the neighbourhood of jBicester, Oxon.

During next week he is engaged at the Royal Polytechnic Music Hall, Manchester, where his benefit takes place on Friday evening next, when he will sever two whole sheep with one stroke of the broadsword. GREEN AND HALI.— On Monday last a large number of spec- tators assembled at; ; Stockton- on- Tees, to witness the spin of 120 yards, for £ 25 a side, between George Green of Hut ton in Yorkshire, and Robinson Hall of Stockton. Betting was all in favour of Hall. Green, however, got a slight advantage at the start, and after a well contested race, proved the winner by a yard. i A FOOT RACE of 100 yards, for £ 25 a side, came off near the Railway Hotel, Fareham, on Wednesday, the 25th ult, between Joe Mason and Neil Coventry, the former winning by five \ ards.

LEVETT AND PUDNEY.— The lovers of pedestrian ism in Lon- don and its neighbourhood will learn with regret that this Ions talked of match for £ 50 a side, and the chanynouship, has every appearance of coming to an untimely end. A short time sincc Levett met with an accident, severely spraitiing his leg, and placed himself: under the care of Professor Lizars of Edin- burgh, from whom we yesterday received a certificate that it would be impossible for him to run a race for at least a fortnight or three weeks. In the mean time, Levett wrote to Pudney, re- questing a postponement till Easter, and offering £ 10 as a con- sideration ; this, Pudney informed us, he was unable to do, on account of his backers, who were opposed to it, and thus the matter stands for the present.

FIGHT BETWEEN ALEXANDER ANDREWS AND THOMAS TYLER, FOR £ 25 A SIDE. The fistic tourjiey between these belligerents took place on Tuesday, and was brought to a satisfactory conclusion, every" thing being conducted in the most orderly manner. Tom Tyler is a younger brother of the well- known Boss, and prior to the present mill has fought some four or five times in the P. R., his last meeting being with Black Jem, which event terminated in a draw. As a quick and rapid fighter, Tom has gained some little distinction among the wise men of the East, to which part of the metropolis he belongs ; but the shifty style of his fighting has before now been severely censured. Alec Andrews has fought some two or three minor battles, in which he won the good opinion of his admirers for the garceness and resolution he displayed. The combatants were confined to 8st 61b, and on Monday went to scale at George Brown's, the Red Lion, Red Lion Market, when Tyler was found to be within the stipulated mark; while Andrews only just balanced the beam, and we were informed that the greatest ditiieulty was experienced in getting him to the weight. Nor is this at all to be wondered at, for he certainly is one of the biggest ana most muscular made men we have ever seen at the weight. The difference between them was very striking. The friends of Tyler were, however, confident, for they imagined that the superior scientific endowments of Tom, with the knowledge that he could wrestle well, would be more than sufficient to counter balance the advantage An- drews might have in point of strength. A water excursion in small boats brought the combatants and their friends to the scene of action in the Kentish Marshes. Andrews, on entering the arena, was waited on by George Brown and Jack Grant, while Jemmy Welsh and Joseph Hoiles ( the Spider) did the polite for Tyler. The odds were 6 to 4 in Savour of Tyler, who was as confident as possible. Both men, from top to toe, were in admirable condition, and, after they had received the finishing touch from their attendants, were conducted to the scratch, and at two o'clock Vere left to begin . THE FIGHT. Round 1. The men assumed their position in good style, par- ticularly Tyler, who had all the finish of one accustomed to con- tinual practice in the academy of art. Andrews at times held his guard rather high up, and though there was not that quickness in his action, to be noticed in hi3 spponent, still he watched Tom's movements with a steady and unflinching glance, and was, from his manner, evidently resolved to wait tor his adversary to open lire. Tyler put out several " feelers," without getting home, till at length he planted his left on the nob, and then followed it up with another trom the same mawley on the body. As Tyler broke guard, Andrews followed, and in the exchanges gst on with the left on the nose. Tom retreated out of distance, ' but after a little manoeuvring, they again got to work, when Tyler, after a feint, administered the left with good effect full on Alec's right peeper. As Andrews dashed in to force the fighting in a close, Tom retreated and went down. 2. Tyler, after a little sparring let fly with the left, which he delivered on the nob, and then retreated. Andrews fol- lowed, and after some good exchanges, Tyler slipped and went down. 3. Andrews, with more determination than judgment, made a lunge at his man, which Tom had not the least difficulty in avoiding ; Alec, partly by a slip and partly from his own impetuosity, lell near the ropes. On the instant he recovered his equilibrium, but his seconds would not allow him to renew the round. Tyler made an attempt to deliver the left, but the intended compliment was stopped in good style. As Tyler shifted his position, Alec dashed at him, and in the counter- hitting received some telling shots, Tyler with the left doing execution ou Alec's already damaged peeper. Andrews stood his ground, and as his antagonist retreated fol- lowed up, till they came to a pause near the ropes. Tyler, after trying to get on the ribs, delivered a slashing one, two, full on the cranium, when Andrews dashed in, and Tom, after napping it from the right on the nob, went down laughing. 5. Tyler, after weaving for an opening, let fly with the left, and planted a stinger on the knowledge- box, and on the instant followed this up with a flush hit from the right. As Tom broke awav, Alec dashed at him, and after some smart exchanges, in which Andrews got on the side of the brain- pan with the right, they closed, when, after some spirited fibbing, they struggled for the fall, and went down, Tom being under. On being taken to his corner, Tyler was slightly bleeding from the nose, and the first of the events was claimed for Alec by his seconds. 6. Tom administered the left with stinging severity on the nob, when Alec, after hitting out with both mawleys, closed, and after a little half- arm fighting, both went down. 7. Tom well home with the left on the nob, and in a wild rally the men fought to the ropes, when Tyler was forced on them by his opponent, and in the struggle they both fell. 8. Andrews, in leading, was well met by Tom, who in the counters got home with good effect on the head, and cleverly retreated from a lunging spank from Alec's right- mawley. After a little manoeuvring they again came within dstance, when Tyler delivered a sharp thwack on the ribs ; this was followed by some good exchanges, when An- drews, in stepping back, slipped and fell. 9. Tom, after lead- ing out of distance, popped the left on the nob, doing further damage to Alec's right peeper. As Tyler retreated, Andrews followed him up, and in the counters both did execution. A rally ensued, when Tyler slipped and went down. 10. Andrews rushed at his man with much impetuosity, and in the close they rolled over each other. 11. Tyler, on getting within distance, let fly with the left on the cheek, and got well away. Andrews was not to be stalled off, and in some sharp exchanges gave Tyler a good dose of pepper on his knowledge- box, which caused Tom to retreat in double quick time ; Andrews came dashingafter him for the purpose of closing, when Tyler slipped and went on his knees, Andrews missing the upper- cut with the right. 12. In the counter- hitting Tyler got home in an effective manner on the osfrontis, and in return nailed anenlivener on the cheek from Alec's right. In a wildish rally Alec slipped and fell, but, on the instant, he recovered his pins and resumed the contest. Tom, as Andrews came dashing at him, broke ground, and, being close to the ropes, he fell. 13. After some exchangea, in which Alec administered a rattling spank with the right in the cross- counter, Tom retreated, and went down in a very artful manner, and, on being taken to his corner, was bleeding from the nozzle. 14. Alec went in to force the fighting, when Tom, after deli- vering the left full on the mug, went down. 15. Alec, on being faced by his antagonist, at once opened the ball by dashing out the left at the nob, and then forcing his way in for the close. Tyler delivered a rattling spank with the left on the side of the head, and then, to avoid the struggle, fell on his terminus. 16. Tyler, after planting on his man's head, retreated, and, as Andrews forced his way in, went down. 17. After a little feinting on the part of Tom to get well within distance, he planted a stinger on the head, but, as he was breaking from his antagonist, Alec countered with him, in good style getting home with the right, when Tom went down. 18, Alec delivered a little- un on the top part of the nob with the right, when Tom, after returning the compliment with a neat one, two, broke away and went down. 17. Tom opened the bail by planting the left with good elfeet on the head. In a rally they fought to the ropes, when Tom, after a struggle, got away and went do an. 20. Tyler, after being stopped once, planted the left on the head, when Alec hit out left and right and closed, when, alter some sharp Jibbing, both went to grass. 21. This was really a well- fought round. Tom, after some little manoeuvring, dashed the left well on the nob, when An- drews immediately countered him a heavy spank on the top of the brain canister from the right. He broke ground, and appeared as if about te fall, but, as Alec came rushing after him, he re- covered his perpendicular and met Andrews with a couple of > telling spanks on the nob. In a spirited rally they got near the ropesraud, as a finish, both went down. 22. Andrews, in his ; peculiar style, lunged at his opponent, but missed getting home i with the right. In u scrambling rally they got to the ropes, | when both got ou them, and, after a sharp struggle, went 1 down. 23. In the counters both got home with good effect, and then retreated. After a pause, thtjy again went to work, j when Tyler was particularly busy with the left on his man's i pimple, and, as Alec rushed in for the close, went down in his ! own corner. 24. Tyler got home the left full on the mark, and in a rally they fought to the ropes, when Tom, to avoid , the close, went down on both knees, and, while in this posi- ! tion, was struck by his opponent slightly. There was a cry of j " foul," but Tom's seconds did not think it worth while to appeal to the referee. 25. Slight exchanges and Tyler down, cer- i tainly going to grass in a questionable manner. - 26, As An- drews came up to his opponent to torce the fighting, Tyler delivered the left on the head, and then slipped and fell. 27. Andrews let fly with the left, but was well stopped; in return, Tyler delivered a rattling hit on the nob, resreated, slipped, and fell. 28. Andrews appeared to be no more fatigued than at the commencement, and met his opponent with a bold front. Tyler, on the other hand, had been gradually be- coming less rapid in his deliveries. In some slight exchanges, Tom planted the left on his man's head, and then went down. 29. Tyler, after administering the left full on the nob, retreated to his corner, followed by Andrews, when Tom went down on one knee, but before Alec could deliver " a sweetener" the opportu- nity of doing so with safety was gone, much to the chagrin of his'seconds. Thus far have we given a detailed description of the contest, the above portion of the battle being by far the most interesting and best fought. All that now need be said respecting it can be done in very brief terms. Tyler, though he had taken the lead at the commencement, and was the quickest fighter, was not, as the battle progressed, enabled to maintain his superiority, the strength and stamina of his opponent being such as to enable him to stand the punishment he received with comparative indifference. Tom, as usual, resorted to the con- temptible system ot hitting and dropping, and throughout the latter portion ot the contest he went down almost in every round in this way, at times in such a manner as to be hardly within the rules of the Ring. His mawleys, from an early period of the battle, appeared puffed, and alter the tcurney was over he com- plained to our reporter that it was the painful state they were in that caused him to lose the battle. There may be some ex- cuse for him on this ground, but no one who witnessed the latter portion of the contest will deny that his tumbling down round after round was opposed to all rules of fair stand- up fighting. Andrews, who was considerably punished about hishead, fought in a very game and resolute manner, and, though not by any means scientific, yet he is one of those men who, with a fearless game bit of stuff before them, would make a merry, rattling mill. He appears to depend principally on the right, and when he gets it well home he certainly does considerable execution. He is slow, however, in his deliveries. In the whole 121 rounds were fought, when Tyler, who had not had the least chance of winning for some time, gave in, and Andrews was pronounced the winner, the battle having lasted two hours am forty minutes. The money is to be given to Andrews at George Brown's, Bell, Red Lion Market, on Wednesday next. THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

He assures us he was born in 1819, and is therefore only .38. FIGHT FOR TUESDAY NEXT. HAZELTINE AND BOS TYLER, £ 50 A SIDE.— These men settle their differences on Tuesday next on the home circuit. The whole of the money has been made good. Both are re- ported to be ia excellent condition. Tyler, we believe, is the favourite, as Hazeltine has been so long on the shelf. The vete- ran, however, has made up his mind to do his best, and as both are possessed of considerable scientific acquirements, a long mill is expected. Tyler will be at Mr Lock's, Mulberry Tree, Fleet- street- hill, Hare- street, Bethnal Green, to- morrow, while Hazel- tine will take up his quarters at Mr Vassar's, Green Dragon, Half Moon- street, Bishopsgate, at both which houses the where- abouts can be learned as well as at Spider's, Harry Orme's, George Brown's, Harry Brunton's, and other East End houses. An early start will be effected. As both men belong to the Pugilistic Benevolent Association the ring wiil be kept by con- stables appointed for the purpose. Thev are Ned Adams, Inspector, Jesse Hatton, Jack Keefe, Charley George, Tom Mose, and Harry Brunton. TEDDY ( JEMMY WELSH'S NOTICE) AND CAGGY WILSON.— These Birmingham'men met on Monday at Bromford, six miles from Birmingham, at catch weight, for £ 10 a side. Both had actively trained and looked'in capital trim. Teddy had the ad- vantage of weight by a few pounds. The men at once com- menced proceedings, Teddy leading off with his left, but was countered by Caggy with a flush hit on the potato- trap ( draw- ing first blood). It was pretty equal lighting for the next six rounds ; in the eighth Teddy let fly a smashing hit on the bread basket, which sent Caggy to grass ( knock down for Teddy). Teddy from this round had it pretty well all his own way, pun- ishing Caggy severely over the left peeper, chest, and ribs; whilst Teddy had scarcely a mark upon him. As the fight pro- ceeded Caggy resorted to the tumble down system, and his friends, seeing he had no chance, wished to withdraw him, but he would not hear of it, and still continued to get the worst of the affair. In the 52d round he was knocked heavily to the ground, and his friends withdrew him, alter fighting one hour and fifteen minutes. CROCKETT AND COBLEY.— Another deposit of £ 5 a side for this match was made at BenCaunt's, Coach and Horses, on Wednesday.

THE LATE TOM MALEY.— We have received the following from Ben Caunt:—" Mr Editor .- The complication of such a small account as I submitted to you last week, could only have arisen from accident. Thus the substitution, in your editorial note to my letter, of a gross sum of £ 17 6s 6d for one of £ 15 16s 6d, is an obvious error. The real amount expended on poor Tom Maley's medical attendance and funeral cortege was £ 12. That sum is set forth in my letter as consisting of two items—£ 10 due to Mr Pope, the undertaker, and £ 2 due to Dr Baiubridge, the physician. As you have kindly paid Mr Pope £ 4 out of the Pugilistic Association Fund, the debit is reduced to £ 8. Towards this amount the sum of £ 3 6s 6d, found on the body of the deceased, has been applied, leaving me answerable for the balance, £ 4 14s6d. Only £ 10 were expended upon the funeral; and, believe me, I should only have been too happy to have forgone any claim upon the connections of so eminent a pugilist, were I not sure that there are very many who would gladly volunteer their mite, and think it an honour, too, to do honour to him.— Yours, & c, BENJAMIN CAUNT.— Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane, March 4, 1857."

LILLYWHITE'S COLLECTION OF SCORES ERODI 1746, IN PRE- PARATION.— The compiler of this projected work would feel par- ticularly obliged if secretaries of clubs or other gentlemen would communicate with him, in order to assist in obtaining correct copies of scores of old cricket matches, as well as other informa- tion relating to the game, such as the " alterations of the laws, and size of stumps, Irom time to time," & c, & c. The loan of score- books, or notices of any remarkable events that have occurred in the game, will also be thankfully received and imme- diately acknowledged. All communications will receive instant attention, and the compiler trusts that this appeal for the pur- pose of publishing a " complete history" of the noble game will not be in vain. Bell's Life in London, from its first number, as well as the Marylebone Club books ( by authority of the com- mittee), have been'carefully searched, and many important and interesting events abstracted; numereusotherreprint and manu- script copies have also been examined, which fully prove that many other good matches were played years back, and he hopes tha scores of them are still obtainable.

MR EDITOR : On Friday week the meet was at Sixhills ; the morning as fine a hunting morning as any this season — the sun never pierced the clouds, which hung heavily, and a nice cool air made it a first- rate scenting day. Six- hills being at the junction of five roads, and lying pretty central for Melton, Leicester, Loughborough, and Notting- ham, each road poured in its dozens of equestrians, until between 300 and 400 had congregated. Melton sustained the reputation it has had all the season, of having turned out more " crack scarlets" than it has done for many years, though we regretted the absence of one of the oldest members of the hunt, W. L, Gilmour, Esq, who broke his collar- bone in the early part of the week; he is, however, we are glad to hear, doing well, and we hope soon to see him amongst the " first flight" again. The noble master of as fine a pack of hounds as ever gave mouth having arrived, off we went, hurry- scurry, to Monday's Gorse, which, proving blank, we jogged on to Walton Thorns, always considered safe for a fox; but ho go— he was not at home. So on again we went to Thrussington Wolds. The hounds were no sooner in than, hark ! a whimper, then another, and then a burst of such lovely music from the whole pack. " Get on in front there— he'll soon be out on the other side." Then came the tightening of girths and gathering up reins. " Whoo- whoop!" " Gone away!" rang through the welkin, and, in five minutes from the time the hounds were put in, all were clear out with a rattling scent, " going like mad." We loft Ragdale a little to the right, then bore down for Sholey Scholes, across by Grim- stone Gorse, down to the right of Wartnaby, across the turn- pike, through Holwell Mouth, and into Clawson Thorns— the line of country the finest in tho kingdom. I only crossed one ploughed close in the run, and the distance, from end to end, " about nine miles, as the crow flies. We ran to Wartnaby, a dis- tance of seven miles, without a check, in twenty- three minutes. A check then took place of about three minutes, and on we went again, doing the whole nine miles in the half hour, over a very stiff country, as far as fences are concerned. Veteran sports- men who were there declared it to be the best thing they were ever in at in their lives. Perhaps it would have concluded better if they had killed; but they have the satisfaction of kuowirg that such a first- rate fox lives to give theni another turn. The hounds were admirably hunted by , Lord Stamford, assisted by his first whip, Sam, who, in the absence of Boothwright ( who is kid up from a fall) fills his place. His lordship shows great tact in the management of hounds, and has shown some excellent sport; in fact, he lias proved himself a worthy suc- cessor of the lamented Sir liic. taard. By the way, nobody seemed very much to regret the absence of Boothwright, for upon several occasions he has handled his houuds so badly, and made himself rather obnoxious in the field— he wants a lesson or two from old Will Goodhale ( who, unfortunately, is laid on the shelf for the present season). My doctrine is, and I believe it will prove to be a right one, always get your houuds Ottt aftei- the first fox. Boothwright hardly ever does this, and it is not long since, when up at Cream Gorse, on a " Kirby Gate day," a fox went away in fine style soon after the hounds were put in; but, instead of putting them on the scent, he let them go after a lame fox that was dodging about, and which they eventually killed in the cover, and, to crown all, we never fdund another fox that day. Now, the other day, Sam had his hounds on immediately, and they were close on the sceut, or we should never have reached Wartnaby in the almost incredibly short space of twenty- three minutes— a regular racing pace. That we may have many more like it is the wish of, Yours, & c, -•'••' •--" . • - •.•: HaricawaY. LORD SOUTHAMPTON'S HOUNDS. ME EDITOR : Allow me TO record, for the benefit of your sport- ing readers, a day with Lord Southampton's Hounds. Drayton cross roads was the place of meeting.,' Drew Liscombe Gorse ( a covert of that excellent friend to the noble sport. Captain Lovette); found immediately, but could not do much with him. Drayton Gorse was the next draw, but. iio finds The spirited master then trotted off to High Havyns, a cov0$ something like twenty miles from his kennels, where we found, as usUal, one of the right sort. He broke on the Croslow side, but, being headed, turned ats if he meant Christmas Gorse, when, after going over half- a- doaen of the severest . grass fields in England, bore to the l. jft for Hogston,, leaving the village just on the right, and oh to Dunton. Whijre the hounds hesitated for a moment iu the road near the Rectory. Our fox then- put his head for Croslow, and after going over those, maguiftcent grass fields nearly down to the brook, he turned to the left for CublingtOn, and over the brook below the Tumulus ; this proved a stopper for some of the least ardent sportsmen. Rounding the Tumulus, where there was another slight check, he sank the hill, having the Whitchurch- road on his left until he nearly reached the brook ; crossing the road, he went up the great: grounds very nearly to Aston Abbots, where we came to a check ( owing to the ground having been foiled by sheep), after as good a forty- five mi- nutes "( taking the country into consideration, there having been only one ploughed field) as ever was ridden to. The hounds have showed their wonderful hunting powers, by picking out the scent over the, foiled ground, with the assistance of the noble master, up to the Cublington and Aston Abbots road. There - were how in front of us some dry ploughed fields, over which the hounds were very judiciously held, till we came to a grass bottom, where they again hit oil'the scent, and carried - a fair head until we came to Some more- ploughed land, on the Wing Lordship; here, after . » slight check, they crossed the road from Wing to Stowkley, leaving Wing covert on the. left, they Hunted him on to Wing and down by the left hand corner ot Wing Park to the brook under Mentmore, alon s^^ which they rau for a few fields, then turned to the leftup the hill pointing for heighten, where, at a quarter before six, the noble lard stopped his hounds, being then live- aud- twenty miles from his kennels. It is always invidious to mention those Who go welt, but amongst the many that figured in this .- brilliant run, none shone more conspicuously than a fair lady, who frequently honours these houuds by her presence 4 piloted On this occasion by that accom- flished horseman, Mr James Mason, Lord Petre, too, Went in is usual style, and always to be seen right in front was Mr George Price, the son of a farmer who for years shone in many a brilliant run with the late Duke of Grafton's'Hounds.— I am yours, & c. Air OLD SPOKTSMAN. Maych 5,1857. • • : . . • THE BLACKMOOR VALE FOXHOUNDS. MR EDITOR : I forward an account of the sport that the Biackmoor Yale Foxhounds have had lately. Hardly a day has passed without a brilliant run. With hounds in first rate con- dition, in a grass country holding a good scent, and plenty of stout foxes, there is everything that a sportsman can desire. FEB 12, Yarlington.— Directly the hounds were thrown into covert several foxes went away, and the pack settled down to one running in the direction of Holtar. They carried it from Holtar, skirting Salliford, to North Cheriton, and then straight for 25 minutes down the Wincautoii Yale, after which he was headed, and they came to a check. He was recovered at El- comb, and run to ground. After a short time a second fox. The hounds were trotted on to Lilly Wood, where they found at once, running their fox to Bratton, thence to Holme Wood, pointing to Roundhill, passing near Redlynch, and behind S hep ton Montague to Hodspeu, Where the hounds Were stopped, as it was getting dark, and the horses were beat, having been running hard one hour and fifteen minutes. FEB 18.— Muringcatch Gate. Found at Mai- ston. Ran a sharp burst of fifteen minutes to Postiebury, where he was headed back, and the houuds got off his line. Found a second- fox in a small covert called Bitcomb. After one ring he broke as if for Postiebury, which he skirted, and ran in the direction of Asham, where the hounds came to a check. He was recovered near Monk Wood, which he ran through, and was raced; by Smalldown to Batcombe, which large covert he went straight through, and broke in the direction ofWanstend, near which vil- lage, being headed, he turned as if intending to go back to Bat- combe. A few couple of hounds flashed into the covert, mis- leading the field into the wood, but it was soon found the body of the pack was away, and, after hard riding, they W « re recovered at Cranmore. As the shades of evening were drawing on, ahd the prospect of a twenty mile home with a tired horse was anything but cheering, it was thought advisable to stop, which was partly effected, but five couple still held on, and the whip managed to head them all but one hound, near the Waggon and Horses, Mendip, which was the last effort his horse could make ; and in abont ten minutes afterwards, this single hound ran into and killed his fox in the open! Mr Tillard, with the assistance of two farmers, who witnessed the finish, cut off his brush and head. The distance from Batcombe Wood alone is ten miles; the name of the hound is Solon, by Pytchley Pillager out of their Sprightly. FEB 19ih— Stock,— These celebrated coverts, where a fox is al- ways a| home, were so disturbed by foot people, that the hounds did not find; but an occasional stale drag showed that they had been there. A fox was marked in the direction of Thornhill, where the hounds came up to him, and after running a short distance, lost him on a road. Stethidge and Inwood were drawn blank, but a brace of foxes were soon cm foot at Temple Combe, which coverts are kindly preserved. Although the owner doss not hunt he does what he ean to promote the sport of Others. The hounds went at a slashing pace by Horsiugton to Cheriton ; pointing to Charlton Hill, they bore away by East Hill to Inwood, then on to Casendle Brake, back to Inwood, thence by Hanover to Yenn, where he was run in view into a drain and left, being in Mr Farquharson's country. One hour and thirty- two minutes. FEB 23d— Redlynch Gate.— Found at Cogley, making his point to Pink Wood, on to Creech Hill by Colston, skirting Bruton by Hadspen to Cole Main earths, near Castle Carey; one hour and twenty minutes, without a check, straight, which, at the pace they went, was enough for any- horse in the field. FEB 26th— Mudford Bridge.— A brace of foxes were at; once on foot, at Ashington Wood ; after a turn round the wood one broke away for Soel and Waundle, then on to Sayde, by Syde Farm to Mudford, neariug Brunsimore; pointing to Venn Coppice, they took the vale through Yeovil Marsh, Where he was earthed in a drain, from which he was taken and " wlioo- whooped." The condition of these hounds give- the greatest satisftiGtion, together with the way they are hunted, and many thanks are due to the present master, Who promises to be a sportsman of the good old sort. Hoping I have not given too long an account.— I remain, your obedient servant, B. V. EXTRAORDINARY RUN WI^ H THE SOUTH BERKS. MR EDITOR : I see runs with most other hounds chronicled in the columns of yo& r valuable paper^ with tho exception of the South Berks, and as 1 am aware that your readers are all anxious admirers of the chase, I send you an account of a run, the finest I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing, over perhaps one of the most difficult countries in England. The meet was at Mor- timer, where there was a goodly muster. The hounds were im- mediately thrown into covert close to, where they found at once, and had a run of twenty minutes without a check, and then lost at a cross- road. After casting several times, they gave up in despair. The Master, George Montague, Esq, who is always anxious to show sport, immediately trotted Off to Beech Hill, a distance of three miles. The hounds were then again thrown into covert, and instantly found the most gallant and finest fox that ever crossed a field. Away he went across the road, through the Lodden River close to the Priory, through the Bull Coverts, at Swallowfield Park Corner, across Strathfieldsaye Park to Park Pithams. Here he unfortunately met some labourers, who turned him to the left across the Basingstoke- road. leaving Upper Pithams on the right, under Highfield Park, to the turn- pike gate in the Odiham- road, which he crossed, making for Danmore. Here he was headed by some people at work, and returned over the road through the Brick- kiln Copse, pointing for half- a- dozen fields for Blackwood; but, chang- ing his mind, he inclined to the left, leaving Matingly Green on his right, over Hazely Heath to Bramshill, close to that baronial residence of the late Sir John Cope, whom all your readers will recollect as one of the finest sportsmen England has ever produced and, believe me, in looking at that splendid mansion, many a sigh was drawn to the memory of its late pos- sessor. Across he bounded, over the cricket- ground, through the park, by the summer- house, to the further end of the Brams- hill Coverts, pointing for Hartford Bridge. Here he changed his bearings, and bore back over the common, nearly to the top of Coombe Wood, by Hunley Churoh; but not liking that line, aud having plenty of time on his hands ( being: half- an- hour before the hounds), he turned to the right, across the common to Hartford Bridge Flat. The hunting on the common was beau- tiful, the hounds working out the scent foot by foot, and at the cross- road we seemed to have lost again, having a very long check, and many of the field left, thinking all was up. But the perseverance of the huntsman, Whitmore, was admirable, and we hit him off on the flat across the road, through the firs to Black Bushes, but turned down the hill to Mr Burgess's woods. Once more the scent began to mend, and we thought we were in for a visit to the Camp, which we were rapidly approaching, being in fact ( as we were told) within two miles. Here he crossed the South Western Railroad, and had a drink at Fleet Pond, which he passed through imme- diately ; then back along the line to Fleet Mill, where, fancying himself safe, he crept into a small rough piece of gorse, but no rest would the pack give him, and up he got, going straight to Aldershott at a clipping pace, where he was run into. The worthy master, Mr Thoyts, and one of the black cloth, who is always in his place on such an occasion, were alone in at the death. In conclusion, I cannot say too much for the energetic master, his huntsman, and his splendid pack of hounds. All praise is their due.— Yours, & O, A SOUTH BERKS MAN. THE FIFE FOXHOUNDS. ME EDITOR : On Thursday, Feb 19, these hounds had one of the most brilliant runs that has been seen in this county for many a day. They met at Pitscottie Toll, drew some coverts blank till they came toNydie, where they found, and had a slow hunting run to Bishop's Gorse, and killed him above Mount- melville, East Lodge. They then went to Laddesla, where they immediately found, and ran him to ground. Found again an- other in the same cover, when he broke away to the east, over Drumcarrs Craigs ; then turned south over Cassindonald to- wards Cameron; but on reaching the grass country changed his line, and went westwards, passing tipper Radernie on to Lathone's Cottage, Patie's Hill; but before reaching that cover he turned northwards, and ran through Faxfield Parks, and over the grass to the new cover below Kydd's Whin, through the latter cover, and tried hard for Eeases; but when within a mile of that cover his heart failed him, though only pressed by a few couples of hounds, the body of the pack having hung in Kydd's Whin. He turned, and tried to regain the last- named cover, but the main body of the hounds coming up, ran into him one field short of it. This gallant fellow broke cover at three o'clock, and was pulled down at ten minutes to four, having gone over upwards of 10 miles, eight of which were grass. Throughout there was not a single check, and only one momen- tary hesitation on the part of the hounds, in a fallow field, a little beyond Radernie, excepting which, you might have covered them with a sheet the whole way, they ran so beauti- fully together. The pace, as you may suppose, was first- rate, and proved. too good for most of the horses, as out of a field of twenty- five,' two only saw the finish along with the huntsman, Oxtoby.— Yours, & c, NIM NORTH. March 4, 1357. NEW FOREST HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : These hounds are having wonderfully good sport- The meet on Tuesday, Feb 24, was at Lyndhurst- road station, and they found their fox near the King's Passage. His first point was apparently Irons Hill, but, being headed, he turned to the left, crossed the Makeley Bog, through Homehill up to Hat Corner, and crossed Park Hill to Beachen- lane, through Clay Hill Enclosure on to Hirst Hill; he then turned to the lodge at Gellets, on to Auderwood, where we changed our fox. Time, 42 minutes, as fast Ixouud? couM race, the distaace i being at least eight miles.— Thursday, the 26th, met at St Austens, near Lymington, and found at MillwoodCoppice. He took two or three sharp rings, and went away by the Horn's End to the Forest, and was kilied near Marlepit Oak, after a sharp burst of forty- fivo minutes. New Park was then drawn, and we fa and and went away at a racing pace to Wilverley Enclosure, about four miles , off, where we ran him to ground, with the Mounds close at his brush. The huntsman, on his mare Alma, led the whole way throughout. Time, 18 minutes. — Saturday, met at Lyndhurst Hill, found at Gellets, aud then ran fox to ground at Home Hill. A second fox was found at Clumbers, which was run to ground also.— Yours, & c, A FORESTER. THE LUDLOW HUNT. MR EDITOR: Two or three letters having lately appeared in your paper under the signature of " Herefordiensis," complain' ing of unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of the owner of Croft Castle, I shall feel obliged to you, on behalf of the, mem- bers of the Ludlow Hunt, to make public the fact that the lett ers were written by no member of that hunt, and without either their knowledge or sanction. Mr Kevill Davies has always sup- ported the hunt by strictly preserving foxes, and by a subscrip- tion to its funds ; and the request not to. draw the Croft coverts on alate occasion arose from no other circumstance than the absence of information of the arrangements of each other, which caused the party invited to shoot those coverts, and the fox- hounds to meet there the same day. Every care will be taken to prevent so unfortunate a contretemps again.— Yours, & c, A MEMBER OE THE LUDLOW HUNT. Ludlow, Feb 28,1857. - EAST KENT HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : Tou will much oblige me by inserting the fol- lowing. On Thursday, the 26th ult, the E. K. Hounds met at New Barn, and in the. course of the draw, having tried several coverts blank, one of the field inquired of Mr Wyndham Knight, of Bilton, if he had a fox for us in Agringe ( one of his father's coverts), when what think you was the reply of this worthy scion of a former M. F. H.? " No! I hope not. I don't preserve those things." Now, it strikes me that whatever a man may think, he has no right to publicly insult a whole hunting field; and in any other county ( take, for instaucej any of the Midlands) I feel sure he dare not have done so, but in Kent many strange things happen, I will only further add, that MrW. Knight was hunting on that day in a cap and scarlet coat. VENATOR. ATHERSTONE HUNT- PRESENTATION TO THE REV J. ARKWRIGHT. On Tuesday last a most interesting proceeding took place at Nortnanton Turville, Leicestershire. On thatt day Richard Alkin, Esq, of Hartshill, accompanied by Mr Frederick Burdett of Birmingham and Mr J, Princess of Appleby, waited upon the Rev Joseph Arkwright, to present to hiin a testimonial of the gratitude and esteem entertained towards him by the tenant farmers and friends hunting with the Atherstone Hounds, as a mark also of their high appreciation of his munificent liberality in support of the Hunt. The testimonial consisted of a very elegant silver claret jug, standing about IS inches high, with two cups en suite, of simple yet elegant forms and exquisite workmanshipj from the celebrated establishment of Messrs El- kington and Company, of Birmingham. The articles are delicately ornamented, and each has the arms of the rev gentleman richly engraved upon them, as well as the following inscription :— " Presented to the Rev Joseph Arkwright, by the tenant farmers and friends hunting with the Atherstone Hounds." A scroll, enclosed in a small elegantly shaped casket of most exquisite workmanship in gilt and oxidised silver, accompanied the gift, as a record of the presentation. This handsome testimonial was presented to Mr Arkwright in a few ap- posite and complimentary remarks. Iu acknowledging it the rev. gentleman said that, although he was quite undeserving of any such mark of favour, yet he accepted with respect and gratitude the magnificent gift which, through their instrumentality, had been presented to him by " the tenant farmers and friends hunting with the Atherstone Hounds." His acquaintance with tenant farmers was very extensive, and amongst them be might claim many valued friends. Iu the hunting field, more particularly, had his intercourse with them been improved and enjoyed. He had always duly appreciated their presence there ; and he had been ever mindful how depen- dent all foxhunters were upon the forbearance aud support of tenant farmers. The concurrence of so many friends in that movement was extremely gratifying to him. Their co- operation could, he thought, be only attributable to a desire, on principle, to testify their good will towards an humble individual who, they thought, had, in his small way, done the best he could to promote their enjoyment of a noble national sport. It only re- mained for him, he continued, to thank the deputation for the trouble they had taken in his behalf on that occasion, and to beg that they would convey his most sincere and hearty thanks to " the tenant farmers and friends hunting with the Atherstone Hounds" for their beautiful and costly present. TESTIMONIAL TO MR CHARLES DAVIS. ME EDITOR : I see that it is proposed by your correspondent " Nimrod" to present a testimonial to Mr Davis, the much- respected huntsman of her Majesty's Staghounds, As such a proposition is sure to be carried out, I have only to express a hope that the testimonial will not be confined to hunting men alone, but that others, who have an opportunity of knowing Mr Davis's private character, may have the pleasure of testifying their respect for him by being allowed to subscribe to it. My guinea, like " Nimrod's," is ready at any time, although 1 happen not to be— A HUNTING MAN. 4th March, 1857^ HUNTING MEMS. At the recent great meet of the Heythrop Hunt at Bradwell Grove, there were upwards of 1,000 horsemen present!— a fact significant of the high estimation in which fox hunting is held in Oxfordshire. The sport was in accordance with the occasion, no less than three foxes having been killed. A rumour was rife in the hunting fields this week that Will Goodall had broken his leg, but we are informed that it only sustained a severe crush. We believe that Captain Anstruther Thomson will go to the Fife next season. ' ' THE GAME OF CHESS. TO CORRESPONDENTS. Chessman: Solution of 182 has been printed in Bell.

PEDESTRIANISM, BOWLER AND CLEGRG.— A letter from Bowler, enclosing his final deposit, having been mislaid, it is stated, in an earlier edition, that it was not sent. The whole of the money, it wil1 now be seen, is in our hands. The race comes off on Monday ( to- morrow), at Wibsey Slack. CITY INTELLIGENCE. The principal event in the English Stock Market this week has of course been the settlement of the account, which has been heavy, and has given full employment to the members of the " House." All the arrangements have been completed satisfactorily; and, notwithstanding the Ministerial difficulties, a considerable amount of stock has been " carried over" at f per cent. In the early part of the week prices were pretty steady, but the market was fiat on account of the debate on the Chinese question. When it became known that the majority were against the Ministers, a decline of about £ per cent took place, and from that there has yet been no material recovery. Yester- day afternoon Consols closed at 93fl for money, and at 93J 94 for account. Numerous investments have been made in the New Threes and Reduced Annuities, which are comparatively steady. Exchequer Bills have been flat, but within the last day or two they have ascended to a premium in consequence of the aug- mented supply of money. Bank Stock has ranged at from 220 to 221}. The latest prices on Friday afternoon of the English Funds were:— Exchequer Bills, par to 3s pm. India Bonds, par India Stock, 221 Consels for Account, 9394 Bank Stock 220%, Reduced Annuities, shut, 93i £ Consols, 93| \ New Three per Cents, 93f f. Long Annuities, shut Business in the Foreign Market has also been active, and princi- pally in Turkish Stock, the rise in which has been important. These> ecurities early in the week advanced to about 2 and 3 per cent, the Greeks having effected extensive purchases. When Consols declined, however, this improvement was partially lost, but even now they stand £ per cent higher than they wore this day se'nnight. The Four per Cents have been less attractive. Spanish Stock is steady. Dutch Bonds and South American Se- curities are without particular alteration. Peruvian Bonds have risen, as a large amount is expected to be redeemed by the operation of the Sinking Fund. Mexican Stock has now risen } per cent in consequence of the committee having received advices from Mr Whitehead dated the 1st ult, transmitting a decree, signed by the President on the 23d, and published in the Official Gazette of Mexico ( El Ustandarte Nacional), on the 29th January last, which embodies an agreement negotiated by Mr Whitehead with the late Minister of Finance, Senor Don Miguel Lerdo de Zejada, for carrying into effect the third article of the decree of October 14,1850.

The bill of last session proposed the creation of such a tribunal, to be com- posed of the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Com- mon Pleas, and the Judge of the Court of Probate ; to these high dignitaries the present bill proposed to add the Dean ef tlie Arches, and, with one or two trifling exceptions, that was the only addition that had been made to the bill of last session. That bill, after having been referred to a select committee, iii which a proviso was inserted that the adulterer should uot be allowed to marry the adulteress, was sent down to the lower house, and ultimately withdrawn. He now reintroduced the bill, omitting the provisoreferred to, and inserting a clause by which separation deeds were legalised by positive enactment.— — Lord LYNDIIUKST was induced to take part in the debate at this stage of the bill because he thought, from the numerous communications he had received, that a change had come over the public mind as to the matter of divorce, chiefly, he believed, in consequence of the observations which had been made by the Bishop Of Oxford last year. The right rev prelate had quoted St Augustine as a great authority, who, ho said, had never been able to make up his mind as to the propriety of permitting di- vorces. Now, he had looked into the voluminous writings of St Augustine, aud, although he could not but admire his subtlety, he must say he was more skilful iu raising difficulties than in finding methods to remove them. Still, there was no doubt that, so far from being unable to make up his mind as to the propriety of divorces, he made statements directly in support of the measure, and repeated them over and over again, to the effect that it was lawful to dismiss a wife for adultery. Re- mar- riage was the point on which he declared that he could not make up his mind; to that alone, and not to the question of divorce in general, he supposed the Bishop of Oxford referred. So much for St Augustine. There were other persons who objected to the relief afforded by the pre- sent measure, and wished to retain the old system, but the. v seemed to'forget that under the present system divorce was limited to a smallclass, for few were able to Dear the expense of the process which was to afford them relief. Passing on to the bill itself, he wished to add a fifth cause for divorce to the four which it contained; this' was, for wilful desertion of a wife by a husband. Finally, he objected tothe new clause which was to give to voluutary separation^ the forceand power of law. Against such separations the highest judicial authorities had invariably set their faces. They were opposed to the principle of law, and the Lord Chancellor, in introducing this clause, was not main- taining, but altering and violating the law, to the great peril of public policy.— The Bishop of EXETER moved the postpone- ment of the bill for three months, in order to give the Lord Chancellor time to amend it. As it now stood, with its cen- tralization and expense, and the remarkable omission that it contained no clause to abolish the disgraceful action for criminal conversation, it was a. mockery of legislation.— Lord ST LEO NARDS declared that the bill left the law of divorce exactly where it found it. It only proposed to give to a court the great power at present possessed by Parliament. He should give his assent to the bill if it ultimately assumed the shape he wished it to take.— After some further discussion the house divided, and the second reading was carried by 25 to 10. THURSDAY.— CLTL^ A • 1. The Earl of CLARENDON explained the reasons why Admiral Seymour had' thought it necessary to withdraw from the Dutch Folly Fort, near Hong Kong. The noble lord at the same time stated that reinforcements of ships aud troops had been forwarded to the Chinese waters. THE MINISTERIAL caiSIS — Earl GRANVILLE announced the intended dissolution of Parliament, and gave explanations to the same effect as those given in the Commons by LordPal- merston. FRIDAY.— No business of importance was transacted. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— REDUCTION OF THE ESTIMATES.— Mr GLADSTONE gave notice that, with the view of reducing taxa- tion, he should propose an . amendment, upon the first motion for going into committee of supply— a resolution setting forth the necessity of revising and reducing the expenditure of the state. THE CANTON AFFAIR.— The adjourned debate on the Chinese question was resumed by Mr R. PHILLIJIORE, who sup- ported the resolution. Sir G. GREY, in opposing it, entered j proposed dissolution as a punishment, " instead of* a " punisli- iiitoan energetic vindication . of the British representatives in nient" they ought to deem the opportunity as a triumph.

In the early part of the week quotations tended up- wards for most of the chief lines, but subsequently a reaction took place, and a portion of the late advance was lost. The average variations may be quoted at 1 to 2 per cent. Caledonian, Chester and Holyhead, Great Western, Lancashire and York- shire, North British, North Eastern ( Berwick) Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton, and South Eastern, show an improvement, but Eastern Counties, Great Northern, North Western, South Western, Midland, and Norfolk, a de- cline, when compared with the prices current at the date of our last summary. The French, Canadian, and East Indian lines have also shown an improvement, and Paris and Lyons, Northern of France, and Great Central of France are higher. Ceylons have improved 10s, and Lombardo- Venetian, Great Luxembourg, and Sambre and Meuse about 5s. British, Foreign, and Colonial Mining Shares have been ex- ceedingly dull, and prices have shown but little variation. In Joint- Stock Bank Shares a moderate business has been transacted, and prices in most instances have been steadily sup- Sorted. Oriental Bank, Ottoman Bank, and Union of Australia ave been at rather improved rates. In the miscellaneous undertakings there have been very few dealings, the chief feature being an advance of £ 4 to £ 5 in Canada Land Shares, owing to tne increased value of land in the colony.

DefendingtheconductofSir J. Bowring, the Home Secretary showed, by many references to the published despatches, that every transaction accomplished during the late disturbance had been undertaken by common consent of all the functionaries on the spot, and after frequent conferences with Mr Parkes and Sir Michael Seymour. The whole charge against the commis- sioner had, be maintained, been founded either on mi^ ppre- heusion or misrepresentation. With regard to the vote before the house, Sir G. Grey forbore to inquire into the political change it might inaugurate, or the party combination's that Were said to have been formed in its support, but invited the Legist ture to concur in the opinion at which the Ministry had arrived, and give their cordial support to public officers who had faith- fully done their duty, and defended British interests in a moment of extreme emergency.— Mr ROBERTSON, having long resided iu China, expressed his conviction that the insult con- veyed by the seizure of the crew of the Arrow was altogether intentional. He proceeded to give illustrations of the cruelty, barbarism, and insolence of the Chinese. The question, he said, should be decided upon no party motive, but with regard to the heavy peril which, if we now drew back, would beset our whole position and commerce in China.— Sir J. Pakington, Mr Collier, and Sir F. Thesiger supported the resolution.— Sir W. WILLIAMS'believing that in the ease before the house the Chinese had perpetrated au intentional and pre- meditated insult, which it would have been unwiss to overlook, he intended to vote against the resolution.— Mr SYDNEY HER- BERT believed that the particular vessel which furnished the ground of dispute had no right to British protection, and that the general trade for which colonial licenses were issued at Hong Kong partook of smuggling if not of piracy, and prostituted the English flag under whose Shelter it Was carried on. The allega- tions of Chinese barbarism and insolence were unproved, whilst the published documents gave reason to infer that Sir J. Bow- ring had long entertained the intention of opening the contro- versy respecting access to Canton, which he waited only for a favourable moment to begin. That opportunity was afforded last year, when peace was restored in Europe, and a large fleet happened to be present in the Canton river. It was to accomplish a previously settled purpose that the lorcha grievance was adopted as a pretext, and the subsequent proceedings hurried into actual hostilities with intemperate haste.— The debate was soon after adjourned until Tuesday. TUESDAY.— THE CHINA QUESTION.- DEFEAT OF THE GOVERNMENT.— Mr ROUNDELL PALMER resumed the adjourned debate on Mr Cobden's motion, relative to the Chinese war. He reviewed the legal arguments that had been brought forward in support of the motion, and considered that Mr Cobden had acted wisely in so framing his motion as not to make it expressly a motion for a vote of censure on her Majesty's Ministers.— Colonel HERBERT condemned the Government for having; allowed Lord Raglan, when he - was at the head of the British army in the Crimea, to be maligned ami cried down, without saying a word to justify his conduct, while they now came foward in this miserable affair and supported a public servant whose acts were, to say the least, of doubtful propriety. — Mr KENDAL opposed the motion, as, if passed, it would be the cause of additional bloodshed in China.— Mr MILNER GIB- SON, in supporting the motion, said great reliance had been placed upon the fact that the English merchants at Canton were in favour of the course that had been pursued. But might not that arise from interested motives ? The stock of tea now in this country was larger than it had ever been, and any events that would increase the price of tea, and postpone thetime when they had to pay the Chinese for it, would benefit the merchants atCanton. — Mr B. OSBORNE entreated the house to extricate themselves from the mystification of the lawyers, and to take a broad and simple view of the question. The question resolved itself into two points— was Sir J. Bowring, Mr. Tarkes, and Admiral Sey- mour justified in the course they had adopted after deliberate consideration, they being on the spot, and whether Ministers were worthy of censure for their approval of the proceedings? Mr Osborne maintained that the English authorities were in the right, and that Ministers were not worthy of censure. He re- proved Mr Cobden for running down the character of British merchants, and remarked that such slander came with a pecu- liarly bad grace from a person who had received one of the most magnificent testimonials from British merchants that was ever presented to a member of Parliament. Mr Osborne administered severe castigation upon the " Manchester school" and their new adherents, and asserted that in blackening Sir John Bowring their object was to displace Lord Palmerston. And if they succeeded, into what lorcha would they place the country ?— Mr HENLEY opposed the Government; Mr E. C. EGERTON and Mr T. CHAMBERS supported it.— Mr ROEBUCK denounced the conduct of the Government, in connection with this transaction, as barbarous and unchristian, and called upon the house and the country to pronounce upon it the heaviest possible vote of censure.— Mr GLADSTONE, having shown that Lord Clarendon was responsible for Sir John Bowring's appointment as plenipo- tentiary, contended that the rule of the Chinese was kindness towards the English, and he added, that the issue to be tried that evening was one of justice and humanity, and not the parti- cular acts of Sir John Bowring. He denounced the proceedings at Canton as a wanton and cruel attack upon the weak by the strong, and of an attempt to strengthen and increase the odious traffic in opium, which had already produced so much misery iu China.— Lord PALMERSTON reviewed the speech of Mr Cobden, and characterised his resolution as contradictory, illogical, and falling short of its real object— a censure upon the Government. His lordship referred to the circumstances under which Sir John Bowring was introduced to the public service. Mr Cobden's speech was eminently anti- English, and his description of the British merchant was untrue in spirit and in fact. Strange, in- deed, were many more of his pugnacious statements as coming from a member of the Peace Society. Sir John Bowring was a member of that society when in England, but he ( Lord Palmer- ston) suspected that if some of his fellows had occupied his place in China the chances were that the same forbearance would not have been displayed. Lord Palmerston proceeded to discuss the Question of the Arrow, and maintained that an out- rage had been committed which demanded an apology, and an assurance that the like would not be repeated. In other respects the treaty had been deliberately and offensively violated. Re- prisals were resorted to in the first instance, and it was only after that course was found to be ineffective that further measures were taken. He characterised the appeals which had been made to humanity, to justice, and to the Christian religion in behalf of the Chinese as appeals made in behalf of flagitious falsehood, inhumanity, and atrocious crime. His lordship spoke with much point of the combination entered into by certain parties, hitherto separated by serious differences of opinion, to displace the Government under false pretences, their resolution being so worded as to suit any purpose.— Mr DISRAELI having spoken in support of his new ally ( Mr Cobden), that gentleman rose to reply, after which the house divided, when there ap- peared for Mr Cobden's motion 263, against it 247. WEDNESDAY.— Some routine business was transacted, but nothing occurred to call for a report. THURSDAY— CHINA — THE INTENTIONS OF THE MINISTRY.— Lord PALMERSTON rose to explain the intentions of Government. He said, under ordinary circumstances, after a vote like that of Tuesday last, the Government ought to resign, but the circumstances were so peculiar that the Government had not felt it to be their duty to adopt that course, and rather to give the constituencies the opportunity of pronouncing their fiat. Many members who supported the resolution had as- sured him that their vote was not intended to indicate a want of confidence ia his general policy. Upon the affairs of China a difference of opinion existed between the two houses. That was not the reason why a dissolution was resolved upon, although it entered as an element in the case. Parliament was now in its fifth year. It had seen more events of importance than had fallen to the lot of most Parliaments. The state of business did not justify an imme- diate dissolution. No progress had jet been made in voting the estimates for the public service; the taxes had not yet been ar- ranged ; ! ind the Mutiny Act had not been passed. His pro- posal therefore would be, that the house should adopt the course taken " by Lord Derby's Government, and that it should content itself with provisional and temporary measures necessary for carrying on the public semce, A vote would be proposed on to impute impropesr motives to any man or set of ! several acts of misdemeanor in that neighbourhood and was , could not in thei same rip try ftp hft^ n affbrdfid I tried at those stssizBs noon 0118 occasion for setting flro to somo stacks, but acquitted. * On tho 25th of October it was discovered that a fire had broken out in the building called the Old Inde- pendent Chapel, at Ware, and upon the place being entered the pulpit was found partially burned, and the cushions and a number of books were also burning, but the fire was extin- guished before any material damage was done. The prisoner was met by one of the Herts constabulary, named Beckworth, coming in a direction from tho chapel at the time the fire broke out, and he told him where the fire was; and the offieer at once suspected him, and put some questions to him with a view to ascertain how he had passed his time during the evening; and he also inquired whether he had been " getting on with another job." The prisoner replied, " No, it is not me this time, or I would tell you. If you will come with me I'll show you where it is;" and the prisoner then took him to the chapel. The officer then locked the prisoner up, and soon afterwards the prisoner called him into his cell, and said he hoped he would make a good job of it this time, adding, " This is a wretched place; no one will employ me, and I want to get transported. They say I am mad, but I am no more mad than you are." The pri- soner tken told the officer that he had got over the chapel wall, aud had entered it by the window, and collected a lot of books in a heap ; went up into the pulpit, and got the Cushion, and set it on fire as well as the books. He said that the velvet covering of the cushion and the feathers would not burn, but the books went ahead; and while they were burning he got out of the chapel the same way ho got in, and went to give information of the fire. The prisoner also said he was very sorry that the officer had not " pinched" him about another fire ; and described how he had committed it, at the same time saying that he was very miserable and wished to be transported.— The defence set up for the prisoner was, that he was insane at the time he committed the act, and Mr Hatchard, the governor of Hertford gaol, was called to prove that iu 1852 the prisoner was tried at these as- sizes for placing something upon the Eastern Counties Railway, with intent to overturn the train, and was acquitted on the ground of insanity. He remained in custody for two years, when it was supposed that his mind was restored, and he was set at liberty ; but it appeared that since that period he had been con- fined in two lunatic asylums. Several witnesses living iu the neighbourhood of Ware gave similar evidence, and it appeared that the prisoner was generally looked upon as a person of weak intellect, and that no one would employ him on that account.— Tke jury acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity, and he was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. THE WOKINGHAM MURDER.— On Wednesday, at Reading, Charles Forrester, aged 36, was indicted for the murder of his infant son, on the 14th of November. It appeared that the prisoner had been at the training institution at Bedford, pre- paratory to being employed as a home missionary. In the month of May, 1855, he was engaged by Mrs Saltmarshe, a lady ot religious and benevolent disposition, living near Wokingham, as a Scripture reader, to visit the poor at their cottages, and to preach at a chapel in the neighbourhood every Sunday. He continued to perform such duties for about twelve months, when Mrs Saltmarshe observing him rather eccentric in his manner, and that his mental powers were not such as to qualify him for the post he was occupying, gave him a notice of three months to find some other occupation, as she intended to have some other person. The wife of the prisoner was induced to open a shop for the sale of grocery, at a place called Embrook, and was assisted that object by Mrs Saltmarshe. The sympathy of the neigh- bours was such that she soon got a good connection, and there was every prospect of a respectable livelihood being obtained. Immediately upon the prisoner ( whose health had been declining) ceasing the duties of home missionary, he removed to the Con- sumption Hospital at Bromp torn, in Middlesex, and remained there till towards the end of the mouth of October. On quitting that institution, instead of communicating with his wife, lie took lodgings in York- terrace, Salmon- lane, Stepney, aud here his conduct was so eccentric and strange that the people were glad to get rid of him. He returned to his home on the 10th of November, and his wife and neighbours observed him to be suffering from great mental depression. He was to have gone to the Convalescent Institution, at Bournemouth, on the 12th of November, and was accompanied to the railway station by his successor in the missionary work, Mr Sparkes, but he, finti- iug hiai much enfeebled, and sadly dejected, brought him back home again. He continued in this state on the 13th, but ap- peared to rest better that night than for some time previously. On the morniug of the 14th his wife rose soon after seven o'clock, leaving him and the little boy in bed. In less than au hour afterwards he came down stairs, and immediately proceeded out of doors, but the wife, supposing him to have gone into tho garden, took no notice at first. His long absence, however, oc- casioned surprise, and Mrs Forrester went up stairs into the bed- room, where she saw her only child, a boy about five years of age, quite dead on the bed, his head being nearly severed from the body. The prisoner, immediately >. pou doing this, appears to have gone to the police- station at Wokingham, and to have given himself into custody, saying that lie had murdered his boy, When asked the name of the boy, he put his hand to his forehead, and said, " I don't know, I am sure." At a later part of the same day, he said to another officer, " I would give anything to undo what I have done ; I loved my little boy; I cannot think what I did it for." When the body of the child was lifted up in bed, a razor was found.— There* was no doubt that the prisoner was insane, and on that ground was acquitted. CURIOUS POACHING INVESTIGATION.— At Northampton, on unless that combination of parties had easted which led to the position in which Ministers fjimd themselves placed.— Mr DISRAELI was not surprised at the course Ministers had thought it right to advise the Crown to sanction. He believed that an appeal to the constituencies was the most advisable for the public interests. For himself he would give every facility far forwarding the public business consistently with due regard to the claims of the country. The result of the appeal, which he for one looked to with no apprehension, may prove a great advantage to the couutry by restoring the healthful influence of party. He thought that much evil had arisen from the fashion of running down party. He trusted that when the appeal was made that members will be returned with a definite policy, able to say whether they are ready to change or to maintain the in- stitutions of the country, whether they are ready to reduce taxa- tion or to increase it, whether they will endeavour to protect the honour of the couutry, or whether they will support a turbu- lent and aggressive system.— Mr UOBDEN remarked that Lord Palmerston had ignored a very important point— the course he Was to take in consequence of the vote of Tuesday last. The Exe- cutive Government had no right to hold office unless they were prepared to carry it out. If any danger to the British residents in China was to be apprehended from the vote, the first con- sideration of the Government ought to be the safety of our fel- low- countrymen, and they should send a competent person by the next steamer, armed with fuil power to supersede all exist- ing British authority in China, aud to act according to circum- stances. If Lord Palmerston did not intend to take this course, what other course would he take ? A new Parlia- ment could not assemble until tho end of May, and what would be doing in China in the meanwhile?— Sir CHARLES M OOD thought that clear information had been given of the course intended to be taken in consequance of the vote of Tuesday. He was glad to think that Mr Cobden was ready to admit that some increased danger had arisen from the course he had taken. He only wished that the honourable member had arrived at that conclusion before he had adopted that course. Sir Charles proceeded to assure the house that every means wOuld be taken to avert the apprehended danger, aud entered into details to show that ample naval means existed to enable the English authorities to adopt all necessary precautious.— Mr S. HERJBERT inquired whether the Government were going to continue tke war for the same object— namely, the entry of Sir John Bowring into Canton, and whether the conduct of affairs there was to be left in the bands of a man who, in the opinion of the house, had brought about the present dangerous state of things ?— Sir G. GREY denied that the object of the war was to obtain an entry into Cauton. The Government, he said, had directed its most serious attention to the existing state of things in China, aud would take every precaution to pro- tect British lives and property; but they did not intend to send out civil and military officers to act iu accordance with the views of Mr Cobden, who had no right to assume that they had any other intention than to endea- vour to place our relations with China on a proper footing.— Lord J. RUSSELL rose merely to express a wish that the Govern- ment would enable the house to help them iu accomclishing the objects they say they have in view. The house was about to undergo the process which Mr Fox and others used to call a " penal dissolution." Members were about to be punished for their vote. The house had a right to know what the policy is which is to be pursued during the next three months. Was Par- liament to consent to remain mute, and allow votes of supply to be cartied, arid not to ask for necessary inforniatiou ? Life aud property in China were in jeopardy, * not by the vote of Tuesday, but by the result of the Ministerial policy.— Mr ROEBUCK rose to protest against the statemeut of Lord Palmerston that his vote was the result of a combination, by which he meant con- spiracy of parties.— Mr GLADSTONE described the statement of Lord Palmerston as bare and meagre; and expressed his " amazement" at thespeechesof Sir C. Wood and Sir G. Grey. The motion of Tuesday was spoken of by these gentlemen as the resolution of the member for the West Riding. It was so at one time; but it was not so now— it had become the solesau resolution of the House of Commons, aud the object was to strike a great and deadly blow at a great iniquity. The house ought not to abdicate its functions of voting the supplies in the absence of all information.— Mr T. DUNCOMBE supported Lord Palmerston, aud passed some severe censures upon the late Administration.— After a few words from Sir J. Graham, Sir J. Pakington, Mr Fox, and others, Lord PALMBRSXON justified his remarks about the ex- istence of " combination." Upon that point he had said nothing which ought to have given offence. It is strange to hear gentle- men who boasted of their unison of opinion with their constitu- ents, aud of being tho organs of public opinion, complain of the regard to the policy of the Government there would be no change. That policy is to maintain in China, as well as else- where, the security of life and property and the honour of Eng- it may be with the United States, to effect improved commer- cial relations in China. Without question, the difficulties in the way of accomplishing that object have been greatlv in- Government must be the Subject of grave deliberation. It must strike every one that if a persou could be found in all respects qualified, and who could carry with him the full views of Ministers, he would have greater weight than any person at pre- seut in China; and, without disparagement to Sir J. Bowring, who had been most unfairly treated during the late debate, it would be the duty of the Government to select a person better qualified to conduct negotiations of so much gravity aind responsibility,— Other members having spoken, the CHANCELLOR of the EX- CHEQUER stated the course he intended to take on Friday.— The house was soon afterwards counted out. FRIDAY— Fl. Vi\. NCES.- On the order for going into com- mittee of ways and means; Mr DISRABLI said that ho had sup- posed last night the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have made his financial statement to- night, but he had heard that after he ( Mr Dixraelj) left the house, he made the statement of the course he intended to pursue. He should therefore modify the course he had promised to pursue towards the Government. Tile Government proposed to raise £ 21,000,000 by direct taxa- tion, and £ 39,000.000 by indirect taxation. He had no wish to disturb the balance that existed between direct and indirect taxation. He never objected to the income- tax beeause it was a direct tax, but because it was the most invidious of all taxes. He was prepared to give every facility to the Government for passing the necessary measures consistent with the act of 1853. He thought the article of tea was of the utmost importance as affecting the working and poor people. He was not prepared to sanction any measure that would arrest the fall in the d'utieson tea. He was surprised at the course adopted by Lord Palmerston iu taking the vote of censure which the house passed on Sir J. Bowring on the Government, and appealing to the country to cancel that vote, and then informing the house that he intended to supersede the man whose conduct he had sanctioned. He proposed that the house should pass the Mutiny Bill, and give the Government a vote of credit, but not hamper the new Par- liament by imposing taxes for the ensuing year. If the Govern- ment attempted to force their plan on the country, he would vote for the reduction of the'tea and sugar duties, and that the income- tax be reduced from 7tl to 5d immediately,—' The CHAN- CELLOR of the EXCBEE££ UEE thought they should deal with the taxation for the interval between the two Parliaments. If the proposals of Mr Disraeli were agreed to, the finances of the year would show a deficiency that- would be most injurious to the country. His proposal was to reduce the war income- tax from 16d to 7d, and as that would leave a small deficiency, he would make that up by not reducing the tea and sugar duties to the extent that the act of 1853 provided.— After some Remarks from Mr GLADSTONE and MR ROEBUCK, Mr. T. BARING opposed the proposition "' of Mr Disraeli as one of the most injurious courses the Parliament Could adopt. Rather than let the', finauces stand with a deficiency he would vote for increased taxation.— After a few words from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, the house resolved itself into a Committeeof Ways and Means, when the CHANCELLOR of theExcmtQUKR proposed his resolu- tion for reducing the tea duty from Is 9dto Ds od per Ib.' and Mr GLAD8TO> E moved as an amendment, that it bereduced to Is 3d. After a long discussion the committee divided, when the num- bers were— For the resolution, 187; for the amendment, 125 ; majority, 62,— The house then adjourned. Wednesday, John Milley, a gamekeeper, in the service of Lord Winchilsea, was indicted for Wounding Thomas Stephens Alien, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm.— It appeared that the prosecutor, Mr Allen, who carried oh business as an auctioneer at Littie Weldon, and was a guardian of the poor and constable of bis parish, went out on the night of the 9th of De- cember last with his gun to shoot pheasants in Lord Winchil- sea's woods, and that while so employed he received two gunshot wounds, one in the arm and the other in the back. There was ho doubt that the prisoner, who was out that night watching with his son and a man named Wade, had inflicted those wounds; but it appeared from the statements which the prisoner made shortly after the occurrence that he had fired under the impres- sion that there was a large party of poachers in the wood, and under the apprehension of danger, he having heard several shots fired, and having perceived shot flying about his head just before. His statement was that he- had fired in the direction whence the shot proceeded, but that he did not know whether he had hit any one, avid that he believed that he saw three men in the wood.— Mr Macaulay, at the close of the case for the prosecu- tion, asked the learned judge whether he thought there was any evidence of the felonious intent charged in the indictment,— Lord Campbell expressed his © pinion that the charge of felony could uot be supported, but he thought that the defendant was guilty of the misdemeanour of unlawfully wounding.— Mr Macaulay said that upon that question he was prepared to add some evidence which would tend to confirm the belief of Milley that there was a party of three or four poachers in the wood on the night in question; and that, perhaps, under those circum- stances, the defendant might be considered as entitled to an acquittal upon the ground that he was only acting in self- defence.— Lord Campbell thought that the firing of the gun could not be altogether justified under the circumstances, and the learned counsel having submitted to that opinion, the prisoner was found guilty of the misdemeanour of unlawfully wounding.— The Rev Mr Hatton, Lord Wiuchilsea's brother, was then examined as to the prisoner's character, and he ex- pressed the highest opinion of him as a humane man. A letter from Lord W inchilsea, who was prevented from attending per- sonally by an attack of gout, was also read; bearing the highest testimony to the character of the prisoner, who had been in the service of the family for upwards of forty years.— The prosecutor and the jury concurred in recommending him to mercy; and Lord Campbell said that he felt justified in sentencing him to one day's imprisonment only, as he fully believed that when he fired the shot he was acting strictly under a sense of duty,— Thomas Stephens Allen, the prosecutor in the last case, was then placed at the bar upon the charge of niglit poaching.— Mr Macaulay, however, said that he would uot offer any evidence against the accused, because, even if the jury should be led to doubt whether on the night in question Mr Allen was the only person out shooting in the wood, the existence of any doubt on that Subject would entitle him to an acquittal, as the offence with which he was charged consisted in the being out armed, to the number of three or more, with intent to destroy game ; and it might also be, that if there were other poachers in the wood, Mr Allen was not in company with them.— Lord Campbell entirely approved the course which had been taken. He had no doubt that Milley was mistaken in supposing that there were other persons with Allen ; and the defendant was entitled to be acquitted, though it was greatly to be lamented that a person in his position should have set so bad an example as to go out by night, even singly, for the purpose of shooting pheasants in Lord Winchilsea's woods, and he hoped that this occurrence would be a lesson to him for life.— A verdict of Not Guilty was then taken. ATTEMPTED MURDERS BY CONVICTS.— TWO convicts, named James Johnson and William Wallace, have been convicted during the past week, at Winchester, of wounding with intent to mur- der warders in the convict prison at Portsea. In each case sentence of death was recorded, which, in effect, is no punish- ment at all. Both prisoners are already under sentence of transportation for life, and the sentence adds no more. CENTKAL CRIMINAL COURT. THE FRAUDS ON THE CITY UNION.— On Wednesday John Paul, 62, and Joseph William Hawes, 40, were charged, the former with having feloniously uttered a receipt for £ 2M, know- ing it to have been forged, and. the latter with having forged the same instrument, with intent to defraud the guardians of the poor of the City of London Union.— This charge arose out of the frauds and forgeries committed by the prisoner Paul, in his ca- pacity of clerk to the guardians of the City of Loudon Union. It will be remembered that the prisoner was convicted at the last sessions and sentenced to be transported for 14 years, aud he appeared in the dock in his convict dress, and exhibited the most dejected and miserable appearance. The offence that was the subject of inquiry consisted in the prisoner Paul having pre- sented a receipt for money which he represented he had paid into the bankers', Smith, Payne, and Co. on account of the union, which money he had, in fact, appropriated to his own use, and it was proved that the pretended signature of the bank clerk was in the handwriting of the other prisoner, Hawes, who was a clerk in the office of the prisoner Paul, employed in a sub- ordinate capacity.— Mr Orridge made no defence on the part of Paul.— Mr Sleigh made a very tamest address to the jury on be- half of Hawes, and he contended that he had meroly acted as the tool of Paul, and that there was nothing to show that he had the least idea that he was doing anything wrong when he signed the receipt, and merely wrote the name by the direction of the prisoner Paul.— The prisoner Hawes received an excellent cha- racter from a number of respectable witnesses.— Mr Baron Bram- well summed up, and the jury, after a short deliberation, re- turned a verdict of Guilty against Paul, and Acquitted Hawes. — No further judgment was passed upon Paul upon this convic- tion, but he was merely remanded back to gaol to undergo his former sentence. THE SAVYARD GANG.— On Thursday James Townsend Saward and James Anderson were placed at the bar to plead to several charges of forgery. There were four separate indictments, to all of which the prisoners pleaded not guilty. Both prisoners pre- sented a very dejected appearance, and Saward in particular appeared to have lost the confident demeanour he exhibited while under examination at the Mansion House. Before the trial was proceeded with Saward addressed the court, and asked for a counsel to be assigned to him. He said that a brief had been prepared, but he had been unable to retain counsel. If the brief were placed in the hands of any gentleman at the bar, a delay of a quarter of an hour would enable him perfectly to un- derstand the case, and to show that he was entirely innocent. The Chief Baron said he hsd no power to assign him counsel. It was arranged last week that the trial should come on to- day, and he had had ample opportunity to instruct counsel to defend him. Saward said that, under these circumstances, he should leave his case entirely in the hands of the court. The prisoners were then jointly charged with havisg forged and uttered an order for the payment of £ 160, with intent to defraud. The evidence offered was extremely voluminous; but, as our readers must be well acquainted with the doings of the prisoners from the reports of their examinations at the Mansion House, it is unnecessary to repeat it. Suffice it to say that, with only five minutes' deliberation, thejury found them Guilty. Sir F. Thesiger said he was instructed by the Bankers' Association, who were the prosecutors, to state, on behalf of Anderson, that there was reason to believe he had been made a tool of by others, and also that he had given important assistance in getting up the prose- cution. On Friday the prisoners were again brought up, and the Chief Baron, after a long address, sentenced them both to be transported for life. WEST INDIA MAIL. The royal West India mail packet Orinoco arrived at South- ampton on Tuesday. She brings mails from Jamaica to the llth ult; Demarara and Trinidad, 9th ; Barbadoes, Hth ; Antigua, 13th; Porto Rico, 15th; Havannah, 9th; Chagres, 8th; Vera Cruz, 4th; and Tampico, Feb 1. The Colonial Standard, of the 10th, says that the process of sugar manufacture is proceeding favourably throughout the Island of Jamaica, and from nearly every district the reports go to show a more than average yield. The probability is that the crop of this year will be larger than any within the last two or three years. An influential public meeting was held at Kingston on the 6th, to adopt resolutions and petition Parliament for an intervention more effectually to suppress the African slave trade to Cuba.

SHREWSBURY GREAT ANNUAL HORSE FAIR.— This fair be- gun on Monday last, and a large amount of business was trans- acted upon that and the following day. Animals of first- class ( for which Shropshire has been so long proverbial) were at this, as at most other great fairs, not so numerous as could be wished by gentlemen and dealers, and soon found ready purchasers at high figures. There was a fair supply of horses of a useful character, which were quickly sold at good prices ; but others did not find so ready a sale at the prices wanted by their owners. The principal dealers present were Messrs Anderson, Collins, Tawney, Cotterell, Darby, James, Gethen, Parish, Sankey, & c, & c. Amongst the nobility and gentry there were the Right Hon Viscount Hill ( lord lieutenant of Shropshire), Marquis of Staf- ford, Lord Berwick, Hon R. C. Hill, W. Noel Hill, Henry Noel Hill; Colonels Cubett, Herbert, and Powell; Sir V. R. Corbet, Sir F. Smytbe, Sir J. 11. Kynaston, Baronets; Messrs R. Burton, Charles Sparling, T. C.

PROTECTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS,— A correspondence has taken place with Sir Ricliard Mayne on the subject of the extent to which the police will be authorised to assist publicans in removing disorderly persons from their premises. The fol- lowing are the regulations laid down by the Chief Commissioner for the future guidance of the trade :—" 1st. A police constable will take into custody iu a public- house any person charged by any other person with an aggravated assault, in every case in which such constable shall have good reason to believe that such assault has been committed, although not within view of the constable, and that, by reason of the recent commission of the offence, a warrant could not have been obtained for the appre- hension of the offender. A licensed victualler is entitled to call the police into his house to take into custody any one for such an offence as above mentioned ; but it must be understood that the licensed victualler takes upon himself the responsibility of calling in the police and giving the party into custody.— 2d. When any person or persons conduct themselves in a riotous, violent, or disorderly manner, without actually committing au assault, and forcibly resist the attempt of the licensed victualler, or his assistant, to eject them, he may call in the assistance of the police, if necessary; assuming, as before, the responsibility of the step.— 3d. When any person or persons enter a public- house in a state of intoxication, and insist on being supplied with drink, or create a disturbance in the house, and refuse to leave when required to do so, the licensed victualler may call in the police, if necessary, to aid in ejecting them, the responsi- bility, as before, remaining with him.— It must be understood that, in any other circumstances than those defined in the three preceding paragraphs, the licensed victualler is supposed to be able, either by himself or by his assistants, to enforce the require- ments of the law in his own house ; and, except in very peculiar eases, he must not expect to receive the aid of the police."
