Cooke.- A BENEFIT for TOM BARRY is proposed to take place at the above theatre, on Wednesday, March 25th, 1857. Poor Tom is on a bed of sickness ; help him now or never; this is the time. Harry Boleno and his pantomimic friends will all puttheir shoulders to the wheel. Let us form a committee to aid them in fneir brotherly and benevolent object. Remember, most noble and generous public, how often poor Tom has made ye laugh— return the compliment by a tear of sympathy with him in the hour of need. Mr William Cooke has, with his usual kind consideration and generous sympathy, placed the theatre at Tom's service on the most advantageous terms. Brother Bungs, the dyiug clown has been a good customer to us; his whimsical drolleries have amused many a parlour full of quests. Let us have a strong gather- ing. Let us keep him amongst usifwe can, andif not let us try to make his last hours as goodly and cheerful as in our power lies. The shatter'd vessel, rolling on the rock, In peril dashed by every augry wave. Looks to the beach at each succeeding shock. Just as a dying man would cry " God save!" Tom Barry's hulk no more can brave the sea Unless the life- boat, sweet philanthropy Puts off, well manned, to ply the willing oar, And bring his breaking timbers safe to shore. Oh cast a thought on those departed hours, When, full of health and all amusing powers, Mounted on chair, descanting to the nation, Tom gave his Comic Parliament Oration. Remember all his waggery and fun, How the play ended; how the farce begun; How from thesawduet ring, in Batty's age, Tom won th e shamrock chaplet on the stage. For none could touch him in his native parts, . He pourtrayed Irish whim, approved by Irish hearts. Then let the isle surrounded by the billow Send forth her sons to soothe poor Barry's pillow: A sbipwreck'd sailor, driven on her coast, Old Erin's hospitality he'd boa"-' t. Should he be snatched from grim Death's hollow jaws, He'll thank his friends who've so well worked his cause. But if the Fates decree poor Tom must die, He'll bless ye all, and with his latest sigh, Breathe forth a prayer in gratitude to those Whose friendship ended only with his life- time's close. The public, and the immediate friends of poor Tom, who are desirous of aiding the efforts of those already eneaged in his behalf, will much oblige by communicating with Harry Boleno, Theatre Royal, Drury- lane, Opera Stores, Bow- street, Covent- gar.' en. Subscriptions are earnestly requested from those at too great a distance to attend, addres- sed to E. T. Smith, Esq, Theatre Royal, Drury- lane. It is hoped and confidently anticiputed that contributions will be forwarded to the fund from little coteries in the country, who have basked in Tom's sunny hour, and enjoyed with him the social glass.

Misled about politics the English may, be but they are never misled about truth and justice. Give them the facts, and they never fajl to pronounce a right judgment. No man would have dared to face his constituents with the weight of a wilful perpetration of an act of gross injustice hang- ing upon him. Even Lord Palmerston shrank from such a piece of daring. We have little doubt that, personally speaking, this compulsion, by public opinion, to do what is right, is gratifying to him. He has supported and protected, and defended a certain influence at court, but it has all been done against the grain. The utter weak- ness of his speeches on the Crimean Report and the Chelsea Board shows the fact. What we regret is, that he does not boldly disregard this particular application of a court in- fluence, and declare his own opinions and feelings to be in conformity with the popular will. He would stand higher in character and in power by such an act of honourable independence. The affair of the French and Austrian Secret Treaty ( as to which we believe him to have been entirely deceived), and this matter of the injustice done to those excellent public servants, the Crimean Commissioners, are matters which, at many a hustings, will be urged against him. As to the first we believe that he has an answer— as to the other he can only avoid the imputation of guilt by the confession of weakness. He ought not to have been weak in such a business. NEUFCHATEL. It is plain that the King of Prussia means to betray the anticipations which his and his Ministers' communication caused Europe to indulge in. Nothing but a resolute de- mand by France and England, by the former especially, for the honour of the Emperor is deeply pledged on this sub- ject, for the unconditional abandonment, by the King, of his absurd claims of sovereignty will induce him to give them up. He has the honour and the spirit of a miser, and not of any better sort of person— he has got the advantage he was mad to gain, and now tries to evade paying the price which he made all the world believe that he was ready to pay for it. The honour of sovereigns has sunk very low of late years, and, but for a few bright exception to the kingly practice of promise- breaking and oath- breaking, the world would not believe anything uttered from a throne. This is a great misfortune for the world, for the want of confidence in the pledged word of a king will lead to some serious results. The individual promise- breaker, however, cannot be made to feel this, but acts in total disregard of what others think of him, and of what may be the possible result of their thinking. The spend- thrift of a good name, like the spendthrift of a good fortune, sees nothing but a present advantage; the object which is close to him, though small in itself, obscures or hides from his sight all others a little further off, though they may be twenty times as large and important. In private life the real friends of the spendthrift have often no power to inter- fere to save him from wickedness, and his family from being affected by his ruin and disgrace. In kingly life the case may not be quite the same, and it is not so in this instance. Besides, as the Neufchatel insurgents were liberated without trial at the request of the French Emperor, and as he made that request on the understanding that the King would there- upon acknowledge the independence of Neufchatel, the Emperor is bound to see not only that the Swiss are not betrayed and injured, but that he himself is not tricked and insulted. He certainly will be so unless he is resolute to insist on the execution of that undertaking which he allowed all Europe to believe had been given him as the considera- tion for his interference. That interference procured the liberation of the insurgents, which certainly was not con- ceded to the King of Prussia. Europe waits to see whe- ther he will enforce the performance of the stipulation oa which that interference took place and was successful. montese Government has said or done as to the state of Italy has now received the practical sanction of Austria by the recent acts of the Austrian Government in Italy. Refer- ence is here made to the smaH amnesty to political offen- ders, and other acts of graciousness, which the Emperor has found it wise to perform during the latter part of his stay in Lombardy. In the course of his remarks on the press, M Cavour says that the press of Piedmont is not so unrestrained in its comments on the Austrian Government as is the press of England and Belgium, and he adds, that so far from Austria threatening England, " Austria was not thereby prevented from seeking, when it suited her interests, an alliance of friendship with England, and from showing her satisfaction and pride at the good relations established with that power." This sentence, and that part of it especially which we put in italics, exactly describes the conduct of Austria. " When it suits her interest," is the sole motive of the conduct of the Austrian Government. When interest suits, the alliance of England is courted. When that interest has been served, or when it does not press to be served, Englishmen travelling in Austria are outraged, the English uniform is insulted, the picture of England's Queen is by Austrian officers ( not by any mob) torn down and trampled on, and in every instance reparation, is by some mysterious influence, evaded. But with England as with Piedmont remain the recollection of such facts, and the consciousness that nothing but " suiting the interest" at the moment ever does or ever will influence the Austrian Government to be other- wise than grossly offensive to the people of a constitutional country. The bad disposition of the Austrian Government is shown in this correspondence— the interest of Europe requires that that disposition shall not be allowed to gratify itself. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. REINFORCEMENTS FOE CHINA.— An order has been received from the War Office by Colonel H. Sandham, commanding theRoyal Engineers at Chatham, directing him to hold in readiness the 23d company of that corps for immediate em- barkation for China, to operate with the troops already under orders to embark. The 23d company was originally intended to proceed to the Falkland Islands. Instructions have been received at Woolwich from the Commander- in- Chief, order- ing four companies of the Royal Artillery to be held in readiness for immediate embarkation after the arrival of the mail from China. The companies thus under orders are Capt Scuda- more Longden's No. 5 of the 13th battalion, Capt Midleton's No. 6 of the 13th battalion, Capt Knot's No. 4 of the 9th bat- talion, and Brevet- Major Barstow's No., 6 of the 10th battalion. Orders have been issued to employ extra hands in the clothing department, so as to distribute to the troops Undfer erders for foreign service the new uniforms intended for the forthcoming year, and to admit of the old tunics being converted into fatigue jackets for service. Capt Fredk. Hugh Chancellor's company, No. 1 of the 14th battalion, are ordered to proceed to Sboe- buryness, on Tuesday next, to relieve Major Knox's company, under orders for China. The remaining three companies are stationed at head quarters, Woolwich. The 84th ( York and Lan- caster) regiment having been ordered to proeeed to China, directions have been received at the depot of that corps ( Chatham) for the whole of the officers belonging to that regi- ment, now in this country, to join their regiment immediately. The service companies of the 84th are at Rangoon. The following regiments in Portsmouth garrison are ordered for immediate service in India and China: 23d Royal " Welsh Fusiliers, 82d Regiment, and 90th Regiment. They are, it is understood, to be iu readiness to embark in a few days'time. The Transit, screw troop ship, Commander E. Chambers, will be got ready with all despatch for this service, and the Himalaya, screw troop ship, Commander B. Priest, is ordered round from Plymouth immediately. The Adventure and Assistance, screw troop ships, are also to be immediately prepared for sea, as also, it is expected, will be the Furious and Sidon, 16- gun paddle frigates. CAPTAIX BOXES.— Captain Boxer, Royal Artillery, Superin- tendent of the Laboratory, at Woolwich Arsenal, has been granted by Government the munificent bounty of £ 5,000, as a reward for his invention and improvement of fuzes and shells which were used at the siege of Sebastopol, and which have been adopted in the service. NAPLES. What we stated some time since, when it . was first announced that the French and English Governments were going to interfere in the internal affairs of Naples, has come to pass. The condition of that fine but unhappy country k worse than ever. The King, like a genuine coward— a tr& e Bourbon— has become more and more ferocious. Every one, except the priesthood, is suspected. The most loyal and devoted among the nobility— the most honourable and gallant among the army— the most peaceful and obedient among the people, are alike the objects of his suspicions and his perse- cutions. Numbers are daily seized and carried off to prison, and as no writ of habeas corpus is known in Naples, and no tribunal dares to oppose the King, there is no pretence of any accusation put forward, but the unhappy victim is forthwith imprisoned and treated as guilty by the com- mand of the King, and the Jesuits alone know, but of course do not reveal, what are the grounds of the prisoner's supposed culpability, or what the amount of his real sufferings. These evils existed before the French NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENTS OP SHIPS OP WAR.— The Iris, 26, sailed on Sa- turday week, for Australia. The Sanspareil, 71, was to sail for Can- ton on Friday. She is to take out 400 sailors and marines, and as much ammunition, including live shell and shot, as she can stow away. The Nimrod, 6, screw, has returned from a satisfactory trial cruise and goes to China, The Colossus, 80, sailed for Lisbon on Monday. Shannon, 51, screw, Capt. W. Peel, arrived at Spit- head on Tuesday night. We had previously informed the public that she had been recalled on her voyage to Lisbon, and on her being reported to have arrived in the chops of the Channel, the Sprigh tly , tender, Master Commander George Allen, was ordered out to escort her into Spithead, the weather at the time being thick and uncertain. She has received a large supply of medical stores and comforts, as - well as a considerable quantitvof warlike stores, iu the shape of rockets, shells, and powder; also lathes, spare machinery, iron plates, rivets, and every article necessary for repairs in the engineering department. She was to receive onboard some artillerymen, and sail on Saturday ( yesterday) for China, to which place she is ordered with all possible expedi- tion. It is with great pleasure we are enabled to state that her quarter boats have been fitted with Clifford's patent lowering gear, and that the most severe trials haveconfrmed the manifold advantages connected with this unquestionable mode of saving life in a heavy sea- way.

These two events, thus coming together, do not furnish the happiest instance of the fitness of things. Mr. Shaw Lefevre, one of the very best Speakers that the annals of the House of Commons can boast of, would have been an invaluable governor and instructor of a new assembly. But, though the public have a right to require much, the obligations of duty do not extend quite so far as to compel the Speaker to die in the exercise of his great office. The right honourable gentleman has well earned his title to retirement, and to that enjoyment of " ease with dignity," of which every one from his schoolboy years speaks with such familiarity. There are few, indeed, to to whom that phrase could be so well applied as to Mr Speaker Lefevre. Dignity is inherent in his nature; it has marked his conduct no less than his manners. He has wielded an extensive authority ; but what made it really absolute was the mode in which he wielded it. In his hands, that authority was public authority exercised for public good; and men yielded to it, even when its exercise was adverse to themselves, quite as much with an air of contentment as of duty. On one occasion only, so far as we recollect, was a decision of Mr Speaker Lefevre's ever called in question ; and then, when the error was pointed out, so readily and gracefully did he adopt the correction, that the weight and influence of his decisions was increased by this solitary ex- ample of the possibility that he could be in error. According to modern practice, the right hon. gentleman will be made a peer; and the country will readily ratify the vote of the house to make good such honours as her Majesty may be pleased to bestow on him. SIR J. M'NEILL AND COLONEL TULLOCH. There seems, at length, to be a hope that justice will be done to these distinguished gentlemen. Their claim to high and honourable reward has been declared by the House of Commons, and so plain and unmistakeable was the feeling of the house that the Premier, after trying to ward off the con" demnation of this part of his administrative reign, was obliged to overlook all errors of mere form ( two amend- ments, one moved upon the other, but both afterwards amal- gamated)— errors which, under other circumstances, would have been made the means of obtaining a Ministerial triumph, and to consent, without venturing on a division, to have the condemnation of the Chelsea Board and the Government recorded in a solerr n rcte of the house. The avowed object the resolution to put an end to them— they are now increased tenfold in extent, and for aught that is known, < 00, in severity. Nay, more; the King has now entered into a treaty with a South American state, by which he will be enabled to slip off to that continent the heavy overflowings of his crowded prisons. What is to become of the men thus deported ?, No one knows. Sent out from Naples as criminals, what will be their character and con- dition when they reach their destination ? Is negro slavery to be avenged, indirectly, upon the white race ? Are these un- happy, and untried and unsentenced, political prisoners to be treated as slaves, and forced to do the work of their im- porters, or what is to become of them? Are the wrongs and sufferings of poor untutored negroes to be ba- lanced by similar wrongs and sufferings imposed upon cultivated and intelligent gentlemen? Is the infamy of negro slavery to be set off by a newly- created white slavery ? No one can tell. The treaty does not, so far as the world has yet been made acquainted with its contents, afford any satisfactory solution to these ques- tions. As the King declares the prisoners to be crimi- nals, and asserts over them a prerogative of dealing with their persons and their lives, he might, as a logical conse- quence, proceed to dispose of them as slaves. What he has really done will not be known till after some scores of them have suffered the frightful consequences of this new act of his despotism. And this is all the result of the interference of France and England. But can France and England tolerate such a result ? In what a position of discredit have the Govern- ments of these two countries placed themselves. If they had a policy they seem not to have known what it was— if they had made a resolution they seem not to have the courage to carry it out. Like Bob Acres they talked big enough it is true, but like him their valour has oozed out at their fingers' ends, and so far as they are concerned they have brought nothing but ridicule on themselves. But, more foolish and worse than he, they have brought added misery on others. AUSTRIA AND PIEDMONT. The fable of the wolf and the lamb has been ( so far as Austria can and dare repeat it), repeated, ayo, and exagge rated, by the Austrian Government. The attack by force, the killing and eating, are not performed, simply because Austria cannot perform them; but all the vituperation which the fable records has been uttered by the Austrian wolf, and uttered with all the bitter ferocity of intention of its original— all the more bitter, perhaps, because the words could not be turned into acts. Two letters have been written upon this subject— the one by Count Buol to Count Paar, the Austrian Minister at Turin, the other' in answer) by M Cavour to the Marquis Santono, the Piedmontese Minister at Vienna. According to the established usages of diplomacy the two Premiers, who cannot be trusted to write to each other, write at each other. This practice on the part of ministers and diplomatists indicates a possible state of feeling that must make private men exclaim, " Thank God ! we are not such as they." Let us begin with the letter of Count Buol to his Envoy at the Court of Turin. The commencement of this letter is amusing: it shows the consciousness of the Austrian Premier that he is imaginative, not matter- of- fact, and that he has need to create by insinuation and inference a supposition which it would be absurd and hopeless to attempt to create by direct assertion. With an adroitness of untrue inventive- ness, which may be wondered at ( though neither admired nor pitied), he tells Count Paar, " During your sojourn here" ( at Milan) " you had opportunities of closely observing the marks of respect with which the Emperor, our august master, was received at Milan, and the satisfaction which the presence of their imperial Majesties gave to all classes of the population." We have quoted this jesuitical begin- ning not that we desire to contradict it, for that is needless, or even to comment on it, for that is unnecessary, but because its style is a fair sample of the style of the whole document. The assertion of the Austrian Government as to being a " friendly power" to Piedmont is less marked by cunning and more by audacity, but if the reader will suppose that each of these is skilfully employed as the occasion for each arises, he will form a tolerably correct idea of the whole document. Throughout the letter Count Buol assumes the air of a complainant, and alleges the freedom ( he calls it the license) of the press in Piedmont as a ground of com- plaint against the Piedmontese Government. Because that Government has remained " passive" while certain Pied- montese papers have attacked the Austrian Government, he accuses the former of not having wished to discountenance those attacks. M Cavour replies, triumphantly, that the press in Piedmont is free, that, consequently, the Govern- ment can only remain passive except when the law is put in force, when it will take care to see that law executed. That it caused a law to be enacted which gave foreign sovereigns peculiar and stringent remedies against the Piedmontese journals against which they had cause of com- plaint, but that the Austrian Government had not availed itself of the law. The Piedmontese Government was, therefore, free from any imputation of having caused attacks by the Piedmont press against the Austrian Government, whilst on the other hand the Austrian Go- vernment had not only witnessed but encouraged, if not actually occasioned, attacks of a most virulent kind by the Austrian journals against the Piedmontese Government, and personal abuse of the King and the members of the Royal Family, though one of these last ( and a lady too) was ac- tually a near relation of the Emperor himself. The press, which is not free in Austria, cannot publish anything of which the Minister disapproves, and what it publishes is therefore properly attributable to his approval. The Austrian has no answer to give to this. Count Buol accuses the Piedmontese Government of as- sisting the cause of republicans and malcontents. As to the former, M Cavour shows that since the rule of consti- tutional government has been really established in Piedmont, that republicanism has dwindled away, so that the Italia e Popolo, its sole organ in the periodical press, " has died a natural death, without prosecution, and simply from the falling off of its subscribers." But not content with this triamph, M Cavour goes on to show that all that the Pied- this splendid frigate. A number of gun- boats are ordered to be brought forward for immediate commission. The Retri- bution, 28, Captain Barker, is fitting with all speed; it is sup- posed to convey troops to China. The Csesar was paid off on Saturday week. The Dolphin, 3, arrived on Sunday at Ports- mouth, from the Coast of Africa. The Mersey, 40, steam- frigate, is ordered to be built 836 feet in length, and will be the longest frigate in the service. Her tonnage will be 3,300, and she will be fitted with machinery of 1,000 horse power. The Renown, 91, screw steamer, is completed, and will be launched 011 the 28th inst. She is the finest vessel ever constructed at this dock- yard. The Royal Sovereign, 131, screw, is to be launched on the 25th of April. PROMOTIONS.— Commanders: W. H. Dobbie ( 1846), H.

THE DEEADNOTRGHT.—- The destruction of the old seamen's hospital Dreadnought is progressing rapidly at Woolwich. On Monday morning Mr Sloman, the dockyard auctioneer, held his first sale by auction of the old timbers, which met with ready purchasers, 85 lots being speedily brought to the hammer, and realising the sum of £ 380. The shipwright department have cal- culated the value of copper to be got from the demolished vessel will exceed £ 2,000. SHIPS BUILDING AT CHATHAM,— The shipbuilding depart- ment at Chatham Dockyard is being carried on with activity, the number of vessels of war now in course of construction at that establishment giving an aggregate burden of about 20,000 tons. In addition to the large screw steamer Renown, 91, which is completed, there are several other vessels in a forward state, some of which are intended to be launched during the present year. Among these may be mentioned the two screw corvettes Racoon and Charybdis, of 21 guns each. The Renown screw steamer, of 3,317 tons burden, will be launched on the 28th inst, when it is intended to lay down another large screw steamer on the same ship, THE SWEBT USES OP ADVERSITY—( By the Hermit of the Haymarket).— You wear out your old clothes.

SECKET SEKYICE — The estimate for " secret service" for the current year is £ 33,000, s, M 410,000 is to be vote< l" on account*" F0EEIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Univers publishes several letters from cur< 5s in the Bishop of Moulins' diocese, with the view of showing the falsity ® - f the report that the bishop was in " the habit" of exacting conditional promises of resignation from his clergy at the time of their in- duction. But the latters go to prove that something of the kind was really dose* One of the cures admits that he had promised the. bishop " not to insist upon his rights against any canonical punishment that might be inflicted upon him," but says that he did not consider at the time that he had engaged to resign his living when called upon to do so by his ecclesiastical superiors. It is scarcely doubtfuJ, however, that the bishop intended to avail himself of the above promise in case of need, to force the cur6 to renounce the advantages of the concordat. Again, another priest writes that he promised " never to insist upon his civil irremoveability further than the ecclesiastical laws allowed." This, iu plain terms, - establishes the fact that the bishop sought to evade the concordat by private bargains with the clergy un- der him. A great crowd was, the other day, collected in front of the entrance to the Tuileries, opposite the Pont Royal, in conse- quence of the unexpected appearance of a deputation, consisting of 110 less than 300 market women fromtheHalles, who demanded an audience of the Emperor. His Majesty being at the moment engaged with high functionaries of State, the Grand Chamber- lain received the importunate ladies, and learned from them that the projected arrangement of the stalls iu the new market pre- sents many inconveniences, and that they hoped the Emperor would order the plans to be revised. The Chamberlain assured them that his Majesty should be informed of the object of their visit. It is reported that he gave them a letter to the Prelect Of Police, which they tore up indignantly in a wine- shop. A letter from Alexandria in Egypt gives the following account of some very discreditable proceedings of the French consul there:—" For some weeks past the French consulate, aided by the local authorities, has been persecuting the Roman exiles here— a thing doubly iniquitous, from the fact that the Romans are under the French protection, the Papaoy not being repre- sented in the Ottoman Empire, and having, therefore, no consul here. Many exiles have been arrested and embarked for Civita Vecchia. Only a month ago they thus arrested and sent away a certain Contavalli; and by the last steamer, Sacchini and Ron- corn were forcibly sent to Marseilles, to be given up to '' Inten- denza di Marina" there. To- day Blaz3 and Capelli have been similarly treated. Others have only escaped the same fate by flyihg to Malta. This is done generally to poof and honest workmen, under all sorts of abominable accusations, but always without even a shadow of a trial; the real cause being political quarrels or antagonism, set afoot by the Pontifical agents, who can influence the French consulate and the local authorities by their secret accusations all the more easily, as the Romans have no protection from their own Government." Barou Thcnard, seconded by a number of his friends, most of them members of the Academy of Sciences, lately conceived the idea of founding a society for the relief of the widows, children, and even the fathers and mothers of savans who may die with- out fortune. This association was organised 011 Thursday week in the Salle of the Soci( 5t6 d'Encouragement. The meeting, at which the baron presided, was numerously attended, and the society already reckons more than 500 members. The annual subscription is only fixed at lOf, but as much more may be given as is thought proper. Several of the members On the first day sent lOOf, and some as much as oOOf. A well- known generous manufacturer gave l, 000f of Rente, and Baron Tiienard sub scribed 20,000f to begin with. The baron was named president; MM. Dumas and Flourens, vice- presidents; and M de Seriar- mont, secretary. The Constitutionnel, by way of showing its intimate acquaint- ance with everything English, on which it comments with the air of an admirably instructed person, says that the West Riding of Yorkshire is the east end of London. Its informa- tion 011 other of eur native subjects is on a par with its geo- graphical acquirements. HOLLAND. ~ At the sitting of the States- General of Holland, on the 7th, tho bill for removing the restrictions hitherto imposed on maritime fishery was adopted by a majority of46to- 8. By this bill the prohibition against the importation of foreign fishis also removed. The new law will come into operation on the 1st January next. SWITZERLAND. A letter from Paris in the Nord of Brussels says there is a hitch about the Neufchatel Conferences. In the first conference on the Neufchatel question, the four plenipotentiaries recorded the renunciation by the King of Prussia of his rights to the Principality of Neufchatel, as resulting from the initiative of his Majesty in the note of the Cabinet of Berlin; and they also recorded that it was on that fact they based their deliberation. In the second sitting, on Saturday, the result of the first sitting was communicated to Count de Hatzfeldt, the Prussian Minis- ter, who declared that he must confine himself to receiving the communications ad referendum, without entering into explana- tions. This proceeding of the Prussian plenipotentiary sur- prised the other plenipotentiaries, as they had not expected such complete reserve. The next sitting of the Conference will not take place until after the arrival of the reply of the Cabinet of Berlin. NAPLES- Some accommodation with King Bomba is to be patched up- A letter from Naples of the 2d contains some details relative to the position of the Neapolitan Government and the Western powers:— The Bourse Gazette of Vienna has announced that the Neapolitan Government had sent a despatch to Prince Pe- trulla, its ambassador in Austria, to demand the mediation of the Emperor Francis Joseph, with the assurance that he was about to make the concessions demanded by the Western powers. There is a double error in this. The first is that the King has not requested the mediation of Austria. He even politely evaded that which was offered by Prussia, not thinking that he required any intermediary between him and the Western powers, from whom he expects, without fear and without impa- tience, a just appreciation of his exertions in the defence of ge- neral order. The Prussian Government had taken praiseworthy steps to hasten this event, but King Ferdinand, while express- ing the desire which he felt to keep up good relations with all the Governments, is said to have added, ' It is not I who broke off diplomatic relations. I am ready to renew them, but I cannot make any of the concessions which I have declared to be contrary to the dignity and the independence of my crown.' Ic is to be re- marked, moreover, that as the two powers have not claimed in their notes an absolute and unlimited amnesty, the refusal of the King ought not to be an obstacle to a reconciliation, as p'articu- larly his Majesty had already granted hundreds of pardons, and offered still more, before the execution of the treaty for deportation to the territory of the Argentine Republic, The second error is this:— With regard to the other concessions which the Vienna journal states to have been promised as a means of conciliation, that paper forgets all the administra- tive measures already adopted by the King, particularly the inquiry into the state of the tribunals. The French note only mentioned two points— an amnesty and judicial reform. The King, who desired both one and the other, decreed them iu the only form compatible with the free action of his Government. If nothing beyond that were wauted everything would be soon terminated. The other ameliorations will arise of themselves out of a state of tranquillity, and under favour of the accord of the powers, who may effect more by friendly relations than by menace, It is, moreover, said that England is not any longer so averse to reconciliation as she was in the first outset of the affair." A letter from Palermo gives the following details of the state of Italy:—" The partial insurrections in Sicily are at present completely put down. A last remnant of the unsubmitted bands, composed of five individuals of Cefalu, have just fallen into the hands of the Government with the chief, Salvator Spinuzza. The Sicilian insurgents, pursued on all sides, and abandoned by the people, at length made their submission to the authorities. A fresh band of twenty- five political prisoners has been embarked at Messina on board the Neapolitan vessel Miseno, and conveyed to the island of Pergnana, to the west of Prapaui." AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, iu the Hamburg News, says:—" Amongst the reforms which will be introduced after the return of the Emperor are the following -.— Jews emancipation bill, suppression of corporations and regulation of trades, reduction 011 entry dues paid by machinery, and the complete suppression of transit dues. It is likewise stated that the affairs of the Protestant Church will be regulated, and an imperial manifesto be probably issued on this subject during the stay of their Majesties in Hungary." THE PRINCIPALITIES. Letters from Jassy announce that the Finance Minister Vogo- rides has been appointed Caimacan of Moldavia. According to the Pays, letters from the Danubian provinces state that the evacuation of the Austrian troops, which had been interrupted by the state of the roads, was resumed on Feb 17, and that the head- quarters would leave Jassy about the 15th of March, by which time it was expected that the last columns of the army of occupation would be 011 their march homewards. A letter from St Petersburg,. of the 27th ult, says—" The obstinacy with which Austria persists in her opposition to the union of the Principalities has recently drawn forth a very ener- getic reply from the Russian Government. Austria first en- deavoured, but without success, to obtain a prolongation of the occupation of the Principalities by her troops as favourable to the free manifestation of opinions in the divans; but when Count de Buol learned by his agents that this representation was very ill received in the Principalities, he changed his tac- tics, and declared that he would cause the Principalities to be evacuated within the period fixed, but that he should consider it his duty to establish a corps of observation on the Moido- Wal- lachian frontier, until the important question under discussion in the provinces should be completely solved ; he asserted at the same time that this measure was in accordance with the wishes of the Sultan. No sooner was this declaration known here than Prince Gortschakoff declared to Count de Buol, through Baron de Budberg. that Russia would respond to the formation of an Austrian corps on the Wallaehian frontier by the formation of a Russian corps on the Moldavian frontier, so as to create a coun- terpoise to the pressure exercised by Austria on public opinion. This categorical reply will no doubt cause Austria to abandon the projected measure." RUSSIA. A letter from St Petersburg of March 1 gives the following rather important news:—" The Imperial Government, on the re- port of the Governor- General of Russian Siberia, has just raised the town of Kiahtka, 011 the Chinese frontier, to the rank of the capital of a district. Kiahtka is the principal market for the overland trade between Russia and China, and since the recent events the importance of this market has considerably aug- mented. Henceforth the town of Kiahtka will have a Russian military commandant and a civil governor." This is one of the many proofs now accumulating around us that the late acts of the Chinese Government have been the result of Russian in- stigation. We have received ( says the Debats) direct accounts from St Petersburg to the 2d. Prince Gortschakoff had read with great surprise the despatch addressed by Count de Buol to Count Paar, to be communicated to Count de Cavour, and had also r « ad the reply of the latter. He does not, he says, understand the step taken by Austria, and cannot approve of it. There is, therefore, reason to think that the Cabinet of St Petersburg will unite its representations to those of France and England, to in- duce Austria not to follow up her remonstrances to the Sardinian Government. PERSIA The Paris correspondent of the Indipendance Beige publishes the following as the chief points of the Anglo- Persian treaty just signed at Paris :— 1. The whole of the Persian territory which is or might be oc- cupied by the English troops up to the proclamation of peace in those parts is to be completely evacuated by the English. 2. Persia recognises the independence of Affghanistan— that is to say, Persia takes the solemn engagement not to interfere any more in the affairs of Affghanistan. 3. Herat is restored to its independence. That province will henceforth be governed by its native rulers. 4. Renewal of the treaty of commerce con- cluded between Persia and England. England will henceforth be treated in the Persian empire on the footing of the most favoured nation; Persia equally so in the British empire. 5. England renounces henceforth affording protection to Persian subjects. 6. Mr Murray, the British minister, who resided at Teheran before the war, will return to Teheran, where he will be received with great honours by the Persian Government. be received with the greatest cordiality. Official and social, and will have the warmest welcome on all hands." The new treaty between the United States and Mexico, in- volving a loan from the former, has not yet been brought to Washington, and its precise terms are the subject of anxious conjecture. It is now stated, on the authority of a gentleman direct from Mexico, that the sum required from the United States Government is twentv- five millions, for which Mexico will surrender the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to the United States. Another rumour is, that the cession of the province of Sonera is to be the " consideration" for the loan. THE OVERLAND MAIL. At Trieste, on Wednesday, the steamer Calcutta arrived, having started from Alexandria at 8 p. m., on the 6th of March. The Indian mails were at Alexandria, with dates from Bombay to the 6th of Feb; Calcutta, Feb 7: Madras, Feb 13; and Hong Kong, Jan 30. At Hong Kong the attempt made to poison the European community had ckused great consternation ; one of the partners in a Chinese bakery had been arrested and committed for trial, with nine other Chinese. Admiral Seymour, at Canton, had withdrawn from the Factory gardens and the Dutch Folly. In reply to the treacherous attempts made by the Chin/,* s;; against British life and property, the Western suburbs of Canton had been burned down. At Foochow, teas were arriving slowly, and prices were high. At Shanghai, holders were looking for a further rise. The silk settlements amounted to 2,000 bales, with 10 dollars advance. Intelligence from Bushire had been received to the 23d of January. The general health of the army was good, and its supplies were plentiful. N » > military operation had been under- taken. General Outram had not yet arrived. The conferences between Sir . John Lawrence and Dost Mo- hammed broke up on the 28th January, when the Ameer de- parted for Cabul. It was asserted that a British Residency was about to be established at Candahar. . At Bombay the money market was easier, and imports were steady. At Calcutta the improvement in the import market was well maintained. AUSTRALIA. The Mermaid, from Australia, has arrived with 41,892 ounces of g: old and 50,000 sovereigns, making a total of £ 217,5* 0. The whole of this was purchased at once for transmission to the Continent. The Black wall is due, with £ 320,000, and the Admiral, with about £ 160,000. The Derwent, also, is stated to have cleared on the 26th of December, with £ 65,000. The advices from Australia by the Mermaid reach to the 18t- h of December, and are a fortnight later than those previously received. They bring favourable accounts of the appearance of the market for imported goods, news having been brought by the Royal Charter that the shipments from this side had latterly not been excessive. The movement in favour of a uniform tariff for all the Australian colonies continued, and it was thought probable that an arrangement might be effected during the present year. The Colonial Treasurer had made his financial statement, showing a surplus re- venue of £ 85,000 for the year 1857, owing to large reduc- tions in the Government establishments. The expenditure, which was estimated at £ 3,300,000, included £ 1,15Y, 390 for public works and £ 281,000 for immigration. It was alleged that the Government contemplated the establishment of a public bank of issue, but the details had not transpired. It had been intimated, also, that they intended to authorise a number of debenture loans for constructing railways. The total receipts of gold by escort for the three months from the 6tli of Seplum- ber to the (! th of December had been £ 2,620,652, being an in- crease of £ 2,876 on the corresponding period of 1855. UNITED STATES. The British Minister in the United States, Lord Napier, who was expected to arrive by the Persia, had had apartments taken for him at the Everett House, in New York, and would probably remain there a few days before going to Washington. The New York Herald says :—" Next to the new President, the new British Minister will attract th « largest share of attention at the capital. He comes at a most favourable time, when the entente cordiale between the two countries is quite perfect, so far as the public feeling is concerned. The only question about which there can be any diplomatic difference is the Central American one, and that will require all the sagacity of the parties who will now take it in hand for the first time. Lord Napier has, however) many advantages over his predecessors, He will IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OE LORDS. MONDAY.- THE OPIUM TRADE.— The Earl of SHAFTES- BURY, iii moving a question to be referred to the consideration of the judges, as to whether the revenue at present derived by the East India Company from the opium trade with China was in legal accordance with an Act passed in the 3d and 4th years of the reign of his late Majesty William IV, said his first object was to ascertain whether or not the trade was one recognised by our laws, and then to proceed, with the assistance of their lord- ships, to devise some means for its total abolition. He believed it was illegal, not only as inconsistent with the spirit of our laws, but in direct contravention to many of them. He had been taunted with having brought the subject before the notice of their lordships in order to embarrass the Government and take advantage of the present state of feeling among parties with regard to the affairs of China, But he denied that im- putation on the honour of a gentleman. His simple object was to obtain an answer to his question. If the judges declared the trade illegal, then it was for the Government to put an end to it at once and for ever. If, on the contrary, they declared it legal he would then start from a new point, and appeal to the moral feelings of the people of this country to put an end to a traffic which had nothing to support it either in a commercial or a financial point of view. He begged, therefore, to press his mo- tion upon the attention of their lordships and to entreat in its behalf the grave consideration which was demanded by the im- portance of the subject.— The LORD CIIANCEI. LOK submitted that Lord Shaftesbury's question was one which from its pecu- liar nature could not fairly be referred to the consideration of the judges, who would iu that case be called upon to try the whole government of India unheard, and, if the trade was thought to be illegal, to condemn them and leave them open at a day's notice to the penalties of indictments for having systematically violated the laws of the realm. The question as to the legality of the trade, however, might be sub- mitted privately for the opinion of the law officers of the Crown. — The Earl of SHAPTESBVEY had no wish to expose any parties to the penalties of indictments, and he was willing to withdraw his motion, oh the understanding that his question as to the legality of the traffic was so submitted to the judges.— Earl GKEY thought that Lord Shaftesbury had exercised a wise dis- cretion in withdrawing his motion, though he attached no value to the opinion of the law officers of the Crown based upon the legal technicalities of an Act of Parliament, as he believed. the question of the legality of the traffic should be tried by far higher considerations. He believed no legal enactment would check the abuse of opium, as when once it went into the market it was impossible afterwards to regulate the proportions in which it should be used by private individuals. He had hoped that this motion would have included a question as to whether the Government had ever directly or indirectly connived at the prac- tice of smuggling opium into China, for that was the main point at issue.— The Earl of ALBEMAELE begged to recall the atten- tion of their lordships to the question before them. Much misapprehension existed in this country as to the smuggling of opium. Legally in China the trade in opium was prohibited, but practically it was free. To a certain extent the Chi- nise were dram- drinkers, though whenever they could get opium they preferred it. But if they had not the latter tbey would resort to the former, and there could be no doubt but that opium eating was a much milder form of vice than dram- drinking, and he believed that when not carried to excess it was less deleterious in its effects upon the human frame. He quoted various medical and scientific authorities to show that the effect of opium when eaten or smoked in moderation was not so hurtful as it was generally reported to be. The destructive effects of ardent spirits they all knew, and knew that the records of their abuse filled half the criminal statistics of the United Kingdom.— Earl GRANVILLE, in replying to the remarks made by Earl Grey, denied most distinctly that there was any ground for supposing that the smuggling of opium into China was encouraged or con- nived at by the colonial authorities. It was the intention of the Government to despatch an envoy to Canton, in order to place our relations with the Chinese empire on a satisfactory basis, having, at the same time, due regard to the real interests of this kingdom.— The motion was, after some further conversation, withdrawn, and the house adjourned. TUESDAY.— Nothing of importance transpired. THURSDAY.— CHINA AND THE BRITISH REINFORCE- MENTS.— The Earl of ELLENBOEOUGH moved for certain re- turns connected with the execution by the British authorities in China of the Supplemental Treaty of 1847. Those returns related to the three articles of that treaty, which aimed at the prevention of smuggling and illicit trade; and, now that we were disposed to be severe on the Chiuese as to their execution of treaty obligations, it was desirable to know whether British officials had been scrupulous in their observance of those obliga- tions. The noble lord then passed to the subject of the rein forcements about to be sent to China, and contended that they would arrive too late, or, at any rate, at such a time of the year as to render the troops liable to great mortality. He trusted, too, that the Government would take care that the troop ships were not overcrowded, and that proper arrangements would be made for their ventilation. He had heard with great regret that it was intended to send out some important personage as a pleni- potentiary, that there was to be an expedition directed against other parts of China besides Canton, and that there was to be a joint interference in Chinese affairs with other nations. All these propositions, if carred out, would only impede our operations and embitter our quarrel, which, in his opinion, ought to be brought to as speedy a settlement as was pos- sible. The noble lord concluded by moving for the returns.— Lord PANMUEE said that the present season of the year was, no doubt, the worst for sending troops to China with a view to military operations. The Government, however, on mature con- sideration, had resolved that the course about to be pursued was the only one suited to the emergency. The troops about to be sent to China were already under orders for India, and to India they would proceed if on their arrival in China it was found they were not wanted. Every precaution would be taken to send them out in a state of efficiency. It had also been determined not to make use of any native Indian troops on the present occasion.— Earl GEEY wished to know whether the Go- vernment had received by the last mail despatches of an alarm- ing nature.— The Earl of CLARENDON said that Admiral Sey- mour, as had been already stated on a former occasion, had an- nounced to the Government his intention of abandoning some of his positions before Canton owing to the threatening aspect of affairs at Hong Kong. With regard to the returns moved for by LordEUenborough, there could be no objection to producing them.— The motion was then agreed to. FRIDAY— THE LAW OF LIBEL.— Lord CAMPBELL gave notice that, on account of the approaching dissolution of Par- liament, it was not his intention of proceeding further this session with the select committee that had been appointed by their lordships to consider how far the privilege of giving pub- licity to the proceedings of the eourts of law might be extended to the proceedings in Parliament and other assemblies. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— THE SPEAKER.— Before the orders of the day were read, the SPEAKER said, after the statement made by Lord Palmerston on Thursday, announcing an approaching dissolution, he felt that it would be inconsistent with the respect due from him to the house if he did not announce his intention to retire from Parliament, and if he did not offer to the house his sincere and grateful acknowledgments for the uniform confidence and support he had received not only from all parties, but from every individual member of the house— Lord PALMERSTON, address- ing the Speaker, said he was sure he was a faithful organ of the feelings of every member of the house when he assured him that it was with the deepest regret they had heard this announce- ment. He believed that 110 man had ever sat in that chair who united in a greater degree all the qualities required in their Speaker, and their regret was mingled with feelings of the dTHE INCOME- TAX AND OUR FOREIGN POLICY.- On the order for the second reading of the Income- tax Bill, Mr DISRAELI, with reference to the dispute with Persia, observed that reasonable terms had been offered at Constantinople, which had been rejected. This rejection could not have cost the coun- try less than £ 500,000; and he wanted to know, if half a dozen of these difficulties occurred every year, costing upon an average £ 500,000 each, how, under this turbulent and aggressive system of diplomacy, the income- tax even of 7d could be taken off ? He did not feel'justified in opposing the bill, or any measure calcu- lated to increase our resources, but he advised a more conciliatory foreign policy.— After a somewhat discursive debate, in which Mr Cochrane, Mr W. Williams, Sir H. Willougby, Mr Muntz, and other members took part, Lord PALMERSTON vindicated the foreign policy of the Government from the charge of being( tur- bulent and aggressive, suggesting to Mr Disraeli that the1 tur- bulent and aggressive policy of her Majesty's Government would not be a successful election- cry for him and hisfriends. — Mr GLADSTONE, considering that Lord Palmerston had chal- lenged the approbation of the house of the foreign policy of the Government, by way of protest briefly reviewed that policy as respected Persia, Naples ( where, he thought, we had done either too much or too little), China, and America.— Lord J. RUSSELL observed that the result of our proceedings at Naples had shown the inconvenience of the course which the Government had pursued; but lie dissented from the proposal to resume our diplomatic relations with the King of the Two Sicilies, who had shown no desire to change his mode of govern- ment. After some remarks upon the inexpediency of producing papers while negotiations were going on, Lord John suggested what he considered should be the principles by whioh our nego- tiations with China ought to be regulated. He then proceeded to discuss the question as to the maritime rights of neutrals m time of war, and the proposition of the United States to exempt the ships and goods of private merchants and of belligerents i from capture. If we were to agree to this vsroncs'tion, he said our being a great naval power would be of no advantage to m % we should be exposed more frequently to war, and ill war we should be almost helpless at sea.— After a few words from Mr Drummond, Mr J. Philliiuore, and Sir C. Napier, Mr CQBDBN said he totally differed from Lord J. Russell upon the subject of the United States' proposition, and that at the proper moment he would offer arguments which, ha thought, might change Lord John's opinion. GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE.— Mr GLADSTONE moved a resolution to tlw effect, that it was necessary to revise the esti- mates laid u/* on the table, and still further reduce them. He contended that too much laxityprevailed in these days, both on the part of the house and on the part of Ministers, with respect to the expenditure of the public money, of which he gave two instances, one of which was, that 15 judges were kept up, when 12 were sufficient, even according to the candid confession of the late Baroji Alderson, and new appointments were made tojudge- ships falling vacant* even while a commission was in existence to inquire into the expediency of reducing the number ; and the other instance was. the augmentation of the civil service esti- mates, which had increased by £ 1,750,000 since 1853.— Mr WM. WILLIAMS seconded the motion.— The CHANCELLOR of the . EX- CHEQUER replied, that he did not see any valid reason for antici- pating a deficiency. He thought it the duty of her Mujestv's Government to meet the expenditure of the year out of the taxation of the year; and not to resort to loans.' The estimates which he now had proposed were of a temporary and provisional character, and did not pledge't he new Parliamen t to any scheme of finance whatever.— The motion was negatived without a divi- sion and the house soon after adjourned. TUESDAY.— THE SPEAKER.— Lord PALMEIISTON address- ing the chair, said, it had been his duty, 011 the previous day, to be the organ of expressing to the right hon gentleman who filled it the regret of the house at the intimation that the new Par- liament was not to have the benefit of his assistance in conduct- ing its deliberations. That day, he observed, he had a more agreeable duty to perform, that of returniug to the Speaker, by a unanimous vote, the thanks © f the house for his able and dis- tinguished services in the chair during eighteen years. In a warm eulogy upon, those services Lord Palmerston dwelt upon that combination of promptitude of decision, justice of judg- ment, and firmness of purposO, with the m st conciliatory de- meanour, which distinguished the Speaker, whom no one, he remarked, ever approa hed in search of information, not only without experiencing the most courteous reception, but without receiving the most accurate information in regard to the matter upon which he consulted the chair. He likewise spoke iu terms of strong commendation of the manner in which the Speaker had contributed to the despatch Of the business of the house, and Concluded by! moving a vote of thanks to the Speaker for his eminent and distinguished ser- vices, and his exemplary conduct in the chair.— The mo- tion was agreed to nem con.— The SPEAKER, in a tone of deep feeling— every: member of the house uncovering— re- turned his grateful thinks for this crowning mark of the favour and approbation of the house.— Lord PALALEKSTON rose again, and in order to give, he said, to the Crow u an opportunity of going band and hand with the house in acknowledging the great and eminent services of Mr ; Speaker, moved ( following the examples on former similar occasions) an address to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty will be pleased to confer some signal mark of royal favour upon the right hon gentleman, assuring her Majesty that the house would make good any expense atten- dant upon such mark of'royal favour. , THE INCOMBTTAX.— In committeemen the Jijeome- tax Bill, SirF. KELLY moved to substitute 5d for 7din the pound- upon incomes. The amendment was, however, negatived without a division.— Mr W, WILLIAMS moved to exempt incomes; belo# £ 150 a year, which was rejected, on a division, by 53 to 7.— The bill then went through committee.— After sohie further dis- cussion, the bill was read a second time. THE NAVY ESTIMATES.— Sir C. WOOD said, as he pro- posed to take votes on account, he did not think it. necessary to go at length into the different items ; he gave, therefore, only one explanation, of the reasons why he had been unable to make a reduction of the number of men to the extent he had expected. He should move a vote for the number of men ( 38,700 seamen and 15,000 marines) for four months only, and the money votes he should ask were one- third of the estimates, amounting in the aggregate to £ 2,700,000. The several Votes were agreed to, after discussion. TRUSTEES AND DIRECTORS.— The ATTOBNEY- GEKERAL had leave to introduce a. bill to: make fraduleht breaches of trust and duty by trustees, directors, and agents criminally punish- able.— After some further business the house adjourned, at a quarter- past ten o'clock. WEDNESDAY- INCOME- TAX- On the report upon the Incomts- tax Bill, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave ex- planations, first, as to the reasons for the omission of the word " property" in the original draft of the bill, which, he said, was perfectly correct; and, second, as to the difficulties, sug- gested by Mr Gladstone on the preceding evening, in the collec- tion of the succession duty. The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill, the Customs Duties Bill, the Indemnity Bill, and the Copyhold and Enclosure Commis- sions, & e, Bill passed through committee. THURSDAY;— SIR JOHN M'NEILL AND COLONEL TULLOCH.— Lord PALMERSTON having stated^ iu reply to a question from Mr Ewart, that the Government intended to confer no additional token of approval or recognition of the services of Sir J. M'Neilland Col Tulloch, the subject was re- newed by Mr PALK, in the shape of an amendment upon the motion for going into committee of supply. The hou member moved a resolution, setting forth the opinion that the two func- tionaries in question had ably fulfilled the duty entrusted to them, and that the conclusions presented in their report had been materially supported by the evidence collected before the Chelsea Board of Commissioners, proving that great inefficiency existed in the Quartermaster- General's,, the Commissariat, and the Transport Departments in the Crimean army. This resor lutioii he justified by a Copious detail of circumstances connected with the winter campaign of 1854 and 1855, as derived from various authorities, and corrobarating the report prepared by Sir J. M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch.— The motion was seconded by Mr BLACK, who wished to see some mark of approbation conferred upon the two commis- sioners, both by way of recognition of the services they had so faithfully performed, and as a means for securing better care and'more ample provision hereafter for brave soldiers sent upbn foreign service.— Lord PALMERSTON considered the resolution now offered to be ill- timed. The period had long passed when it would have had any practical utility. The services rendered by the commissioners sent to the Crimea had, he believed, re- ceived all the reward and acknowledgment to which they were entitled. Neither the country nor the Government had waited for the presentation of their report to make every provision, and express the fullest sympathy for the privations sustained by our gallant troops in the Crimea. Without disparagement to Sir John M'Neill aad Colonel Tulloch, he thought the me- dical commission had rendered more important services than the former cculd have rendered. The motion was not one which the house, in his opinion, ought to accede to, and he hoped Mr Palk would not press it to a division.— The motion was strongly opposed by Sir J. FITZGERALD.— Gene- ral PEEL said he had arrived at a strong opinion that the cala- mities which had visited our troops in the Crimea were not in the power of any individual in the Crimea to control, and he complained of the clamour and us- just outcry which had pur- sued individuals. He did not underrate the miseries of our soldiers in 1854 and 1855; but individuals were not answerable for them, and he proceeded to enumerate the causes to which he thought they were attributable, the main causes being, in his opinion, the commencing a great war with little means, and undertaking a military operation upon a large scale without any reserve, in compliance with the cry for carrying or. the war with vigour. He vindicated the proceedings and the conclusions of the board of which he was a member, and he urged that Mr Palk, in his speech as well as in his resolutions, had cast undeserved imputations. The services of the com- missioners, iu his opinion, had been somewhat overrated.— Mr S. HERBERT said his first reflection upon reading the resolu- tions was, regret at questions being reopened, over which a veil of oblivion should be thrown. He admitted that the Govern- ment of wliich he was a member had been to blame for attemp- ing too much. With respect to the commissioners, the question was, had they executed an invidious duty ably, and had the Crown marked iu an unmistakable manner its sense of their services ? He was of opinion that those services were important, and that the commissioners had not received justice, and he proposed that all the resolutions should be withdrawn, except the first, which should be incorporated with the latter part of an amendment of which notice had been given by Mr J. Ewart ( but which he could not move in point of form), so that the reso- lution would stand thus:—" That Sir John M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch ably fulfilled the duty entrusted to them of inquiring into the arrangement and management of the Commissariat Department, and, considering the able services rendered by them, and the high testimony in their favour by her Majesty's Government, that an humble address be presented to her Ma- jesty, praying that some especial mark of approbation be con- ferred upon them."— Sir J. PAKINGTON considered that the services of the commissioners had not been recognised to the extent to which they were entitled, and he supported the pro- position of Mr S. Herbert.— Mr. J. EWART was ready to adopt the proposition, to which Mr Palk acceded.— Lord PALMERSTON deferred to what appeared to be the opinion of the house, and the original motion being withrawn, the amended motion was agreed to. THE ARMY ESTIMATES.— The house then went into a com- mittee of supply on the army estimates, when— Mr F. PEEL said, the money votes for these estimates were on account for four months only, and, as the whole votes would come before the en- suing Parliament, it would be more convenient not to anticipate discussion and explanations upon the money votes. The case was different with the number of men, which must be voted at once— namely » 126,796 men, beiug a reduction of 119,920 upon the vote of last year, which was for 246,716 men. Mr Peel entered into various details relating to the different portious of the forces.— The several votes were agreed to, after discussion. THE SPEAKER.— Lord PALMERSPON read the reply of her Majesty to the address of the house, voted on Tuesday, signifying her Majesty's intention to confer some signal mark of her regal favour upon the Speaker, and gave notice that he should on the following day move that the house do resolve itself into a com- mittee to consider the subject. THE INCOME- TAX BILL was read a third time and passed. FRIDAY.— PERSIA— Sir A. CAMPBELL, in moving the ad- journment of the house till Monday, asked a question regarding the Persian Treaty, and especially that clause stating that England was to relinquish the protection of Persian subjects under the British protectorate. Such a course he deemed to be injurious in the highest degree.— Lord PALMEESTON said that it was the intention of the house to sit on Saturday « meetitjg at one o'clock. With respect to the question of protectorate, fee must say that great inconvenience had arisen by Powers exercising a protectorate over Persian subjects. It tended to interfere with friendly relations, and he was of opinion that the practice should be discontinued both by this and other countries.— Mr LAYARD agreed with the noble lord, and thought such pro- ceedings tended to embroil this country with those Powers where such affairs happened. He wished to ask the noble lord if the Treaty of Paris had not been before offered at Constanti- nople ?_ Lord PALMERSTON said that the Treaty of Paris was better than that of Constantinople; and the latter one had been broken off bv the Persian ambassador himself. PENSION TO THE SPEAKER.— The house then went into committee of supply to consider her Majesty's answer to the address presented to her relative to the retirement of the Speaker. Lord Monek in the chair.— Lord PALMERSTON said that he had to propose a motion to the house to give effect to her Majesty's gracious message relative to the retirement of Mr Speaker, and he had to propose that an annuity of £ 4,000 per annum [ cheers] be granted to her Majesty with which to pen- sion Mr Speaker on his retirement from the chair, and that the same should take effect from that period [ cheers].— The re- solution was carried unanimously, and the house resumed. ARMY ESTIMATES— On bringing up the report of the com- mittee of supply on the army estimates, Mr STAFFORD called attention to the present state of the Army Medical Department, and stated that the report of his committee in reference to it, which sat last session, had not been carried out.— Mr PEEL defended the conduct of the Government in reference to this department.— Sir W. WILLIAMS, of Kars, bore testimony to the admirable state of Woolwich Hospital. Miss Nightingale had recently visited it, and expressed her admiration of its efficiency. TRANSPORT OF TROOPS.— Sir DE LACY EVANS called at- tention to the state of the transports engaged to convey troops to China.— Admiral BERKELEY said that every care had been taken to procure efficient ships. THE MEGiERA.— Sir J. PAKINGTON inquired of the Under- Secretary of War if it was the intention of the Government to give compensation to the officers who had received injury from the leakage of the Megsera— Mr F. PEEL said he was unable to answer the question.— Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that he would renew his question on a future day. THE RACE HORSE DUTY.— Mr B. COCHRANE asked if the new Race Horse Duty Bill included yeomanry horses entered for races, if that were so such races would be impossible.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the new act was only intended for a better collection of the revenue, and would not affect the horses mentioned by the hon member. DEATH BY FALLING FROM SCAFFOLDING.— On Wednesday, as some men were employed in erecting a scaffolding for some new buildings in Hyde Park Gardens West, one of them, named Leary, stepped on a plank which had been insecurely fixed, and fell to the ground from a height of about 60 feet. Both his thighs were fractured, and he died in a few hours. The poor man has left a wife and sis children. 4. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MARCH 22, 1857. SPOUTING CHKOMCLE. [ TOWN EDITION.] THE TURF. BETTING AT,' TATTEESAIL'S. MONDAY, MAUCH 9.— As the Doncaster events will be de- cided efe our report of this afternoon's proceedings is made public, we shall not occupy our readers' attention by referring to the betting on the Hopeful and Spring Handicap, but pass on to notice tho transactions which took place on other events. To commence with the Northamptonshire . Stakes, we did not hear a single animal backed outright, for any money, though St Giles had been all the rage " about town" for two or three days pre- iously, and was decidedly first favourite, besides being in greate force likewise for the Chester Cup. St Giles, Sir Colin, Skir- misher, and Adamas, were backed for about £ 200. against the field, and 100 to 60 was betted on the first three against tli field. Vedette had the decided call for the Two Thousand, and at 6 to 1 was backed freely ; coupled with Loyola, who was not in good odour, 5 to 2 was taken. 7 to 1 was laid to £ 100 against Schiedam, whose backers woiild have gone on at the price, and Sydney was also supported in gcod quarters at the same figure. A hew. outsider was introduced iu Lord of the Hills, at 100 to 8> and- before the close of the Room 10 to 1 was taken about him_ Th ® principal Derby betting was between lots often, and the field, aud the best part of a thousand was invested in that man- ner. Loyola declined to 18 to 1, and a point more was obtaina- ble about Lord Clifden's lot than was taken some time back. 1,000- to 25 was laid against Blink Bouny winning the One Thou- sand/ Derby, and OakS; THURSDAY, MAKCH 12.-" No house."

The same may be said of V6d6tste and Sydney for the Two Thousand. Wot one offer was made on the Warwick or York eveiits. M. D.,.

S., of Sutton, Surrey, I beg to say I have a mare that was violently attacked with teta- nus ( lock- jaw) in April, 1851, which was attended and cured by Mr W. Harding, V. S., of Richmond, Surrey. She has been in constant work and perfect health ever since.— Yours, & c, ROBT.

After a long struggle fortune prevailed in favour of the owner of Polly Peachum, who threw his opponent in very clever style. Died, at Worcester, on the 10th inst, aged 77. Mr William Tolley, for more than a quarter of a century clerk of the Worcester race meetings. I'n his prime he was a vigilant official, and was always distinguished' for blunt honesty and downright speaking, which, doubtless, most Turfites have some time or experienced. - : • • • ••"•-• : RACING FIXTURES FOR 1857.

SIK Had it not been for the unfortunate state of public affairs, which compelled the nobility and gentry of Yorkshire to be attending either on the grand jury at the assizes, or in making their political, arrangements for the forthcoming elec- tion, the Doncaster Spring Meeting I think would have shown that the taste for racing in that county, which, of all others, deems " the horse" the most sacred object of creation, had increased to a very great extent. As it was, the supply of horses was worthy of Doncaster, and the objections which might with reason have been urged against the holding, of meetings at an earlier period could not be here entertained, as the condition of the majority of the auimak indicated that their trainer had not been idle with them. The racing, as will be learnt from a perusal of your report, was unusually good, and as it involved some points of interest in relation to future events, I shall take the opportunity of shortly recurring to it. The Trial Stakes, with which business commenced, was, as its name infers, almost a " trial of strength" bet ween the Wantage and Woodyates stables, both of whose animals were supported with that spirit which indicated the fondness of their owners. Mr Parr carrying on his " Trial" iuck won, I admit, easily; but neither of the rivals gave me the idea of " staying," or either they were out of form, or both of them have been much over- rated, and I expect the latter will be found to be the true version of the case. The Hopeful gave us three runners more than last year, and until Ascot or Goodwood we are not likely to see such a collection of two year olds again. On the inspection being made, I- think it will be admitted that those of whom good accounts liaid been received passed muster, with the exception of Fiybydjy, whose tearing, fiery, runaway propensities, made it quite evident he would beat himself before he beat others; and the nomenclature, i; fear, will be unfortunate. Terrific, a beautiful mare, bore about her all the features of her famous brother, Assault, and went fast for a time, but tired; and, even without the jpenalty, I have a strong impression that Heroine would have shown to us she inherited Neasham's partiality for a short distance, and that her vendor will have been more fortunate than her plucky purchaser. Peregrine's appearance spoke well for Loup arou as a sire, and his condition for Mr Parr as a manager; but he did not seem to gallop with freedom, and pulled up lame after wards . in his off fore- leg, the sinew of which exhibited very suspicious symptoms just under the knee, but for which Polly Peachum, whose two victories must bring Collingwood more into notice, would perhaps liave had a harder task to have stolen away from htm, and " filched" the stake. I don't know whether any of your correspondents were present who took part in the Fisherman controversy during the winter; but if they were, I think they must have been unanimous in their opinion when they examined Mr Halford's filly ( half sister to Fisherman) that Mainbrace may be expected to breed a racer from other sires'besides Heron. The Spring Handicap, like the Hopeful, showed an increase in the starters, and again the condition of Messrs Barber and Saxon's team served them, for Mary was one of the fittest of any Of the animals stripped, which fact, coupled with Flat man's patient management of her, got over the distaste she was sup- posed to have for any distance over a mile and a quarter ; and her jockey had only to wait, a la Warlock and Typee upon the same course last September, and all was over— the Odd Tricki upon which a thousand was depending, being lost early iu the game. Codrington, upon whom I had pinned my faith, I should add, was prevented going to the poll by the public them- selves, but when brought out for a more popular coasti" tuency he will again have my vote and confidence. The Betting Room Stakes debut of the much talked of. St Giles was not so satisfactory to my conviction as it was to some of those who trusted him with their money, and intimated their intention of doing So again on another occasion. Tall on the leg, weak in the loins, and a scrambling lazy goer— a more harmless favourite for the Northamptonshire Stakes I have not seen out this year, and if he " stays" over that course the anatomists of a horse will have to go to school again. The other items being but of passing interest, I shall go at once to Salisbury, hoping that the successor to Mr Hatfield, whose retirement from the manage- ment of this meeting I regret to hear rumours Of, will provide for tis next spring as agreeable a meeting as that at which I haye this week had the pleasureto assist. Salisbury has ever been a most proverbially slow meeting, and if one half of the enterprise exhibited in the North of England was displayed in '" The Land of the West," a very different return list would be the result. To the celebrity of the stables, wlio contributed to the fields, may be attributed the character of the attendance, but if the aforesaid establishments have no better representatives for races to come than those which pre. sented themselves here, the North, in my humble opinion, hag little to fear from the South. The Wiltshire Stakes proved that if Mr Parr had made one mistake about an animal at Doncaster that could not " stay," he had not oommitted a second by start- ing and backing Apathy, with a weight upon him heavier than we generally see even accepted with for a handicap over a course like Salisbury. That he won very easy it is impossible to deny, but when the form of those behind him is gone through, the victory is not so surprising as the price that was subsequently taken about him for the Two Thousand, or about M. D, for the Derby. The Biennial was a sore blow to the Woodyates division, who wereiOf opinion that Tricoloar had improved so much since last year as to fully justify the odds they laid upon her, and I can only attribute to jadiness the mortifying defeat and hauling down of her flag. They were, however, recompensed in some measure by Happy Land's proving to have an auriferous strain about it. I did not stop to witness the second day's racing here, and the telegraph confirms the opinion I expressed to myself when I left, that I had observed all that was worth seeing at Salisbury. The Warwick Meeting will be the centre point of attraction for the ensuing week, and Mr Merry has advertised no fewer than eighteen races for the three days— a programme which is certain to attract, notwithstanding that the popularity of the meeting has been slightly on the wane from the want of cordiality prevailing between the " Warwick Cabinet," and their active homme d'affaires. As usual, both at this and the Autumn Meeting, Steeple Chasing aud Hurdle Racing are introduced be- tween the acts, and as the jumpers invariably tell so well upon the treasury of the Stand, the " legitimists " must not grumble at their appearance here, where they have always created amuse- ment and sport. The Trial, which has introduced to us many a good race horse, first " tries " our guessing powers. It has seven subscrip- tions, including the late Derby crack, Wentworth; Stork, the schoolmaster of Leamington; Fisherman, the main- stay of Mr Parr's stable; Melissa, who ought to have won both Oaks and Doncaster CUP; Centurion, the stable companion of the Woodyates " lion," St Giles; and last, but not least, Gemma i Di Yergy, described by a morning contemporary, this week, " as formerly the property of that respectable member of society, William Palmer of Rugeley." This is a better class entry than Mr Merry has had for some years, and if all were to meet they would make one of the most exciting races of modern times. Last year Fisherman beat Stork very easily, aud I think he will beat Mm again now, but should Gemma be not dismayed by the notoriety that has lately been foisted upon him, Ind enter the arena, I imagine Fisherman, who looked a$ jolly as an alderman at Liverpool, will have to knock under to him. Wentworth, I presume, will be reserved for Northampton; therefore, I think, we shall see Fisherman or " Jemmy " the. winner. For the Willoughby Handicap thirteen out of the twenty- three nominations have accepted, and out of them, I think we shall see at the post, Early Bird, Poodle, Prince of Orange, Hopeles Star, Shoreham, Mysterious Jack, and Delos. In passing a current opinion upon these, all 1 can observe is, • that although Early Bird will have the advantage of one of the best gentlemen jocks out, he will not. get him over the distance. Poodle knows the course well, but did not look " trained" enough at Doncaster. Prince of Orange has quite sufficient weight upon him, but his Stable is in force, and he has before distinguished himself in this character, which is a recommenda* tion. Shoreham, although " slow," has more quality about him, and will probably be better ridden than the others, so I must leave the race to the Prince and him. In the Mile Handicap, which follows, Elfrida and Lord Nelson should not be overlooked. The Great Warwick Handicap, on Wednesday, will be the race of the day; although the thirteen left in are, with two or three exceptions, the. most moderate lot that have stood for any handicap this season. The weights, however, are racing ones, for which Mr Merry is to be commended, and the result of the handicap, as far as I can make out by what I have " observed" this season, will be in favour of December or Tame Deer. The Two Year Old Stakes has eleven nominations, the majority of which, as there is nO penalty for winning, will, in all proba- bility, be seen at the post; and Greenwich Fair must again be iy " chosen One." The Welter Handicap has but five names down to it, Ada being the " sole daughter of my hopes." In the T. Y. C. Handicap. I think your readers may take the Profile" of the winner in the feather weight. The other " legitimate" events are as yet in embryo.— Yours,& c. ; OBSERVER. HORSES IN TRAINING. Northallerton.

Stewards: Lord Londesborough and George Payne, Esq ; Clerk of the Course: Mr R, Johnson; Judge: Mr G. Hatfield; Starter: Mr Hibburd. The failure of this meeting last year having been attributed to the abandonment of the Steeple Chase, the Committee de. cided upon restoring that item to the programme, iu the hope of thereby conciliating the townspeople and the innkeepers, to whose exchequer the absence of the country people caused so material a falling off, as to afford the latter body an excuse for withholding their subscriptions to the fund. However popular the Steeple Chase may have become with the " Tykes," whose taste, as suggested by our correspondent " OBSBBYEE," it is most desirable to cultivate, there is no meeting at which the " jumpers" are so thoroughly " out of their element" as Doncaster; and whatever may be said or suggested by its sup- porters to the contrary we maintain that the legitimate reputa- tion of the plajce ought not to be jeopardised to suit the wishes of any particular clique— more especially as it embraces those whose presence may give vitality to the scene without adding to the revenue whereby the meeting is maintained. By the death of its promoter, the late George Johnson, Esq, the Spring Meeting lost one of its staunohest supporters, and we regret to hear that his equally zealous fallow- labourer, Mr George Hat field, after filling the onerous posts of treasurer and hon secre- tary to this meeting from the commencement, is about to retire from all active connection, with the sporting interests of Doncaster, of which he has ever been so staunch and in- defatigable a supporter as to merit the thauks, not only of his townsmen, but of the racing public generally. Mr Hatfield's loss will be SO much felt that we eutertain fears of its affecting the stability of the meeting, as it is very questieu- able if any r- sident, possessing the same interest aud zeal, will be found ready or competent to lill the vacancy caused by that gentleman's retirement. It lias beea suggested to reduce the meeting to one day, and by confuting the proceedings exclusively. to the " legitimate," a most attractive banquet might be dished up, embracing the Trial, Hopeful, Spring Handicap, Betting- room Stakesj Chesterfield Plate, and a couple of Selling rafces. This change, we. doubt not, would be . relished by most people, and judging from the miserable flatness of the proceedings for several years past, the. Ring to a man, we take it, would be found amongst the " contents" if the question were put to a " division." These are matters, however, for ulterior, consi- deration, and we earnestly hope that our present fears of future prosperity may prove ungrounded. No race meeting in the kingdom has greater charms for us than Doncaster, and judging from the well- lilled programme of. the present anniversary, it is equally popular With owners and trainers, or we should not find an entry of sixty- three two year Olds to the Hopeful Stakes, of fifty to the Spring Handicap, and to other item's in proportion ; whilst the revival of the Steeplechase obtained one of the largest .,"' subscriptions" ever known for that event; and by altering the conditions to a stake of 10 sovs each, half forfeit, and. delaying the publication of the weights until after the Liverpool, not only Was there a. larger field than Usual, but the interest of the race Was not annihilated by the wiuner of the " Grand National" par excellence " slipping in" a stone or two lighter than he ought to be. It would be unreasonable to desire a bettor afternoon's sport than that provided for Tuesday, tho opening day, and, but for the chilliness of the atmosphere and the " beggarly account of empty benches," we might almost have fancied ourseh es at tho September meeting by the largeness of the fields aud the forward condition of the majority of the competitors. We have to report, however, a very shy muster of fashionables and even ordinary visitors in the Stand ; whilst the llmg, though em- bracing many of the leading bookmakers, was in the same pro- portion, albeit speculation, as we have heretofore remarked, at all the spring meetings this season, exhibited uumistakeabie symptoms of " reviving animation"— a good deal of money ( as times go) was betted in the course of the afternoon, especially upon the Hopeful. Premising that the course was in beautiful order, the proceedings may bo said to have been inaugurated. With the sale of the two- year- old filly Melita, who, being tjie joint property of three individuals, was brought to the hammer to settle the disputed question of her real value, and after some spirited bidding knocked down to MrJ. La Mert, for 260gs, thereby remaining in Joseph Dawson's stable at Ilsley. The racing commenced with the Trial Stakes, for which ten of the fifteen entered went to the post. The interest of the race was centered in Centurion and Odd Trick, but the former, though considered to be one of the " cracks" of the Woodyates stable, displayed none of the prowess on this occasion that rumour has awarded to him ; and Mr Parr, following up his previous successes at Lincoln, Nottingham, and Liver- pool, introduced a fourth winner from his stable this season in Odd Trick, who, backed almost at . evens, won rather cleferlj, thereby getting back a considerable portion of his purchase money the " first time of asking." The Hopeful brought out a field of one- and- twenty two year olds, the majority of which struck us as a very moderate lot, though at the same time there were several high bred and remarkably good- looking youngsters amongst them who, albeit not " fancied" on this occasion, will assuredly be heard of heareafter. The " pots" were Peregrine, Heroine ( the winner of the Yearliug Stake at Shrewsbury last autumn, and subsequently purchased at the sale of the dftift of Lord Anglesey's stud by one of J ohn Day's masters, for £ 500), Lady Alice ( owu sister to Lord. Alfred), Polly Peachum, and Flybyday; and notwithstanding the spirited manner in which . the Danebury filly wa » backed by her plucky owner and his friends, Mr Parr's colt left off with the call iu the Ring. It had previously been decided by the Stewards that Heroine, as a winner before starting" must carry a penalty- of 41b, though contrary to the intentions of the framers of the race, who, not anticipating the revival of yearling stakes, cannot of course be blamed for what, under other circumstances, might be con- sidered an oversight. There were as usual a great many false starts ( the promoters of which, as will be seen elsewhere, were reported to Mr Payne, the bnly Steward present, and fined a " fiver" each), and nearly half- au- hour was " cut to waste" thereby; but when they did get off, the result was'not long in doubt. Mr Halford's filly ( half sister to Fishermau), waited upon bythe favourites in " good places," made play for about a » quarter of a mile, when Polly Peachum came out; took a commanding lead, had her followers soon " in confusion," and won hard held by two lengths, little Dales coolly patting his mare on the neck as she galloped past the post. There was A splendid struggle be- tween three or four for the Second money, which Peregrine ( who walked lame afterwards) secured by half a length from Mr Hal- ford's filly. Polly Peachum is a small, but uncommonly clever mare, with immense girth, and a rare goer. She is by Golling- wood out of Lucy Banks, and was purchased at the sale of Sir John Sheiley's yearlings, for 62 guineas. Her engagements are rather numerous. Fourteen runners were telegraphed for the Doncaster Handicap, and the appearance of Flatinau upon Mary brought her into such strong demand that she left off with the call of Odd Trick iu the betting, The Martlet being next most fancied. A strong run race found out Odd Trick's weak point half a mile from home, and the favourite, ridden to per- fection, won easily— Messrs Saxon and Barber ( whose stable seems to be in as great force as last season) thus carrying off the two principal events of the meeting. The Municipal Stakes was wen by Polish, who realized 20 guineas to the fund : and the Chesterfield Plate, wherein the confederates were " within an ace" of throwing in a third main with Lord Nelson, wouud up the afternoon's sport with one of the finest struggles ever seen — resulting in favour of Mysterious Jack by the shortest of heads— another fine piece of running on the part of Bullock— to the nO little surprise of his stable, who, not having backed the horse for a shilling, enabled the bookmakers to '' go home re- joicing" at having. " skinned the lamb" oil the race. A " select circle" gathered round the centre table at the Subscription Room in the evening, but it was " all talk and little wool;" the following being the only transactions that came under our ob- servations :— Two Thousand : 600 to 100 agst Yedette, and 50 to 40 agst Yedette, Schiedam, aud Sydney. Chester Cup; 225 to 25 agst Leamington, ( whose backer would have gone on). Derby: 1,000 to 50 agst Ziixder Zee, 80 to 1 to £ 125 agst Sauu- terer, 450 to 15 agst Arsenal, and 450 to 15 agst Glenmasson. 14 to 1 would have been taken about Blink Bonny. A remark- ably clever- portrait of Mr T. Dawson, the trainer, by Mr C. Lees, R. S. A., was exhibited iu the ROQIU, and much admired for its wonderful resemblance to the Original. Mr Lees has also painted an equally, faithful likeness of Mr John Scott, which is in the engraver's hands. Wednesday was a bright sunshiny day, but bitterly cold. The " long morning " hung heavily tii> on all parties, and complaints both loud and deep Were uttered at the want of consideration shown to the, visitors by commencing So late as two o'clock. The consequence was, that, owing to false starts, and the usual delay attending steeple chases, the Scurry, instead of being run for at a quarter past fours was. not decided. Until a quarter before five, so that time was scarcely afforded to get to the station iu any com- fort, whilst dinner or refreshment before starting upon a journey of nearly 156 miles was quite out of the question. Settling the previous day's accounts chiefly occupiedthe attention of those who sauntered away their morning at the Rooms. Future events were discussed, and 550 to 100 was booked about Vedette for the " Guineas." Arsenal was in demand for tho Derby, and at 25 and 30 to 1 was supported for the best part of a '* monkey," 5,000 to 165 being booked in one bet, and the same about Glenmasson. The visible increase in the attendance sufficiently indicated the popularity of the steeple chase with the country people, but'the7 Stand was by no means full, nor did the receipts come up to. former averages, for, though exceeding the " takings " of last year by £ 35, they fell £ 150 below those of' 53 and' 54.; so that, notwithstanding a private subscription of about £ 70, the meeting, in a pecuniary poiut of view, has been an unsuccessful one, and will cause a further diminution of tlie " reserve fund." The sports commenced With the Betting Room Stakes, " which was selected for the debut this season of the Woodyates " great gun," St Giles ( who within a few days had become a prominent favou- rite for the Northamptonshire Stakes and Chester Cup), in prefer- ence to the larger race yesterday, for which he was struck out in Loudon on the previous Monday at 2: 30 p. m. The field opposed to him on this occasion was a very " moderate one, tad having, moreover, a great advantage in the weights, odds were betted on " the crack," who showed fine speed, and Won in hollow style, though not without " hanging" a good deal below the distance, and changing his leg twice in front of the Stand, his right side; moreover, exhibiting marks of a visitation from Hibberd's spur. The performance certainly created no furore, and his position in the'b'ettiti'g for the Northamptonshire re- mained unchanged, 4 to 1 being • currently offered oil the field. The Juvenile Selling Stakes wa » carried off by Queen of the Isles, so very easily as to cause some spirited bidding at the hammer, which resulted in the fund being benefited to the extent of 60 guineas. The Steeple Chase Was next ou the card, and the telegraph exhibited the numbers of eleven runners, Old String haults, who was in the inclosure, beifig drawn at the last moment, in consequence of M'Lean, his jockey, being nearly a stone over weight. The " hue," the same as in former years, commenced on the training course opposite the half- mile post, with a bush fence half way between that point and the artificial water jump opposite the Grand Stand, aud proceeded across the race course ( the rails of which were removed) near the starting- post for the St Leger, over the Great North Road into the Low Pasture. On the high ground of this there was a fence, and then a nasty drain ( before which a hurdle ought to have been placed), after which it bore to the left , over a fence out of the Low Pastures The turnpike- road was thenre- crossedat a lower point On to the common, aud then a small brook dividing the two courses. The line sit ill bearing to the left to complete the circle, continued across the moor, upon which were five artificial bush fences, and re- entered the training course at the half- mile. post, The route was then re- traversed, and on arriving near the starting point the last time, an opening iwas made into the race- course, below the bend, the only remaining obstacle being a flight of gorse- hurdles at the distance " to make the Coming- in easy," Though there were no big fences, the line was one which required a perfect hunter or. very clever steeple chase, horse to got over it' without accident, owing, to the number of grips and other places, which, though nothing to look at, were very nasty, dangerous places. In spite of his weight, Emigrant,, the Liverpool winner, it will be seen, was the favourite, and his party backed him with considerable spirit;; but the fates proved unpropitious on this occasion, and he fell— beaten at the time— at , qne of the paltry little places Complained of, about a quarter of a mile from home, Tom Gur- ney, Jean du QUesne, and Hindoo ( who was in front throughout) jumped the last hurdle abreast, and an exciting contest was. looked forward to by the spectators, but Tom Guruey's chance being extinguished by Hindoo " cannoning" against him whilst in the air, whereby he was newly upset, and from the effects of which he was unable to recover, the " French boFse," Jean du- Quesne— who, as Augustine, played " second fiddle" to his stable companion, Seaman,- at the last steeple chase run at DoncasEer- in' 55— ran home au easy wiucer. Tha- SKOCSS- io? the " French, horse" " seemed to afford general. satisfacti, 6u, and though neither the Count de: Cuiiehy or his confederate, Baron de ji, Motte, Were present ( having returned to France after Liverpool), they backed him with their usutil' spirit, aud are at length compen- sated, we trust, for their succession of reverses in this eOuntry last season. Jean du Quesiie's Condition, as at Liverpool, was the subject of universal admiration, and Lamplugh is entitled to " honourable mention," both for Iiis careful training and steady riding of the horse. The race, we regret to add, was attended by a fatal accident to Sandboy, oue cf the most promising steeple chasers of the day, who, not seeing the drain in the Low Pasture, galloped . into . it, broke his back, and had to be destroyed I the Scurry, which, after a tiresome delay at the post, caused by false starts, was carried off by the favourite, Admiral Lyons, who made play throughout, and won in a canter.

Magnolia took up the running after the first hundred yards, followed by Peto, Remedy, and The Little Cob, Bourgeois lying next, the favourite and Centurion together at the heels of the ruck, and Iota, who was last off, acting as whipper- in, a long way in the rear. Thero was no material change until passing the Red House, wheu Magnolia beat a retreat, and the lead was taken by Remedy, with Little Cob in close attendance. After crossing the gravel road Odd Trick began to improve his position, and going up on the outside of Peto, these two and Bourgeois ran head and head to the bend, at which point Remedy and Little Cob were disposed of. Odd Trick then took a slight lead of Peto, who gave way alto- gether at the distance, and left the race with Bourgeois and the favourite, the issue being in favour of the young one by a length, Peto finishing three lengths off, about a length in advance of Centurion. Remedy was fifth, and Magnolia next, Iota being last throughout. Run in lmin 50sec.

Nearly half an hour was wasted in false starts, aud the flag fell when they were in any thing but close order, owing to the fractiousness of several who could not be got together with the others. The. Peppermint filly, with Polly Peachum at her girths, jumped off a length or two in advance, followed by Fly- by- Day, next the rails; Peregrine and Heroine lying next, on his right, clear of the ruck, at the headof which were Old Times, Lady Alice, Melita, and several others, so clustered together that it was impossible to distinguish their colours: suffice it to state they had nothing to do with the race. After rounding the bend Polly Peachum headed Mr Halford's filly, and drawing away from her at every stride, had a commanding lead opposite the Stand, which she maintained to the end, winning in the com- monest of canters by two lengths -, a splendid race for the se- cond money resulting in favour of Peregrine, who headed the Peppermint filly in the last dozen strides by half a length, Me- lita, who came with a rush at the last, being beaten as far from the third. Old Times finished fifth, at Melita's heels, about two lengths in advance of the second division, which was headed by Terrific, Fly- by- Day, Heroine ( who, with Fly- by- Day, were in trouble at the distance), and Lady Alice. The last lot, tailed off an immense distance, were Garnish, Yaller Gal, Calamity, and Pultowa, the latter, who had to be led to the post, not getting off. Run iu lmin 8sec. On the complaint of the starter, Holmes, Harrison, Dales, Rodburn, Bearpark, and Hughes were each fined £ 5 for disobeying orders.

Greencastle jumped off in advance, but was headed, after the first hundred yards, by England's Beauty, who cut out the work at a good pace, Green- castle going on second, The Martlet third, Cosset fourth, Odd Trick fifth, Pantomime sixth, Artillery, after settling in their places, lying next, and Mary amongst the rear division, with Poodle acting as whipper- in. These positions were maintained over the hill to the mile post, after- passing which Cossey began to drop back, and Odd Trick, joining The Martlet, these two went on at Greencastje's quarters to the Red House, where England's Beauty disappeared from the front, and Greencastle, being nearly knocked over by The Martlet and Odd Trick can- noning against him, the two latter became the leading pair. Pan- tomimeatthis point took third place, andPoodlefourth> Boltonaud Mary being the next two, whilst Artillery, upon whom the weight had begun to tell along the wood side, was run out by the skrim- mage already referred to. Odd Trick shut up at the gravel road, and left Martlet with a clear lead, which he held to the bend, after rounding which he was caught and headed by Pantomime, Mary having just before crept into the third place. Here she remained almost to the corner of the enclosure; when giving Martlet the go by, she drew upon the old horse at every stride, and defeating him the instant Flatmau called upon her, won very cleverly by a length, Pantomime beating Martlet by the same. Poodle finished a very bad fourth, Night Hawk was fifth, and Cossey sixth, the others separated by wide intervals, and headed by Merlin, being beaten an immense distance. Run iu 3 mill 30se « .

For so small a field the tailing was rather extensive, but after making the turn into the trainingground below the distance, to commence the second round, the front division drew closer together, and Tom Gurney passing Jean du Quesne in the run up to the arti- ficial brook, jumped it on the left at the same instant that Hindoo ( who again carried away the timber which had been re- placed in the meantime), went over ou the right, the two being in the air together. Jean du Quesne and Teddesley also landed over it abreast, closely followed bv Maley and Twilight, also in couples." Sandboy ( who, when it came to galloping on the turf, quickly made up his lee way), jumped it next; Emigrant succeeded him, and the grey, who was behind the favourite, plumped into the middle, to the| no small merriment of the spec- tators, who welcomed their splashing with a roar. Victor Emmanuel, though he followed . the others at a respectful distance, was altogether out of the frav at this point. After quitting the water, Hindoo resumed the lead of lorn . Gurney, next to whom, after jumping the fence into the Low Pasture ( the second time), lay Jean du Quesne, Maley being fourth, Teddesley fifth, Emigrant sixth, and Sand- boy next; whilst Twilight and The Major began to drop farther astern at every stride. The second leap in the Low Pasture was the nasty blind drain, at which a hurdle ought to have been put up, as three or four horses made a mistake there, owing to its trap- like nature. One of them was Sandboy, who, pulling tremendously at the time, fairly galloped into the place, fell a terrific burster, and never, moved afterwards. Escott was thrown a complete somersault upon his back some distance be- yond, and, though much shaken, instantly jumped up, in the hope of being able yet to secure what ( from the style in which the horse was going at the moment) he considered a certain victory. But on proceeding to the poor beast, he fouud him unable to move his hind parts, evidently from the effects of a broken back. In the meantime, the leading horses bad re- crossed the road on to the common, where Tom Gurney went in front and took a lead of about a length of Hindoo, who lay at least three or four in advance of the French norse, Maley still being fourth, and Emigrant, who had passed ieddesley after jumping the drain on to the race course, fifth- nothing else being in the race, and even the favourite's chance, owing to the great distance that separated him from the leading borse, looked anything but so " rosy" to his backers as it did in the last mile at Liverpool. The race now begau to assume a most interesting aspect, and each leap was watched with no little anxiety . The artificial ones on the common were cleared without the slightest mistake, but on turning: into the race course below the bend ( about a quarter of a mile from home) a contretemps happened to Emigrant, which put him hors de combat, and completely extinguished what little chance he may have had left— if he had any at all— as thejweight for some time previously had evidently " told its tale." Buugling over a trifling little fall in the ground ( which serves as a drain by the side of the race course, the rails into which were removed) the horse f^ l head aud knees, and being unable to recover himself, he pitched Boyce over his neck and rolled over him, fortunately however without any injury to either. Clement witnessed the accident mj time to prevent Twilight . from jumping upon Boyce, and instantly pulled up his horse. On the downfall of Emigrant, the race was left to Tom Gurney, Hindoo, Jean du Quesne, and Maley, but the latter was disposed of before reaching the last flight Of hurdles near the distance, at which the three leading horses rose simultaneously, so that we could riot undertake to say which lauded first. W hilst in the air, however, the three were in such close quarters" that Hindoo swerved a little to the left aud cannoned against Tom Gurney, who was next the rails, and in the opinion of his jockey lost him the race, as he stumbled on landing, and was unable afterwards to recover himself. The race thereupon became a match between Jean du Quesne and Hindoo, but the issue was never in doubt— the Frenchman headed his opponent in a few strides, went on with the race in hand, and won hard held, by a length, Lamplugh, who rode his horse very steadily and with great judgment throughout, con- siderately indulging the " Tykes" with some sort of a race for their money. Tom Gurney was beaten three lengths from the second, and Teddesley cantered home a bad fourth ; the " bob- tail grey," who headed Maley within a few yards of the ehair, being fifth past the post. Twilight was the next home, and Emigrant, after being remounted, walked in. Run in 8min 2£ sec.

Night Hawk, who passed Stormsail in the last few strides, finished a bad fourth, and Prin- cess Royal was sixth. Spinet and Prince of Denmark, the last two, were tailed off a long way.

Starter: Mr Hibburd. Clerk of the Course: Mr H. Figos. The success that has attended the spring gatherings this sea' son has been followed at Salisbury— an unusual occurrence by the bye, for, with scarcely an exception, this has ever been found one of the dullest meetings of the year. In the present instance, as if rising with the occasion, a bill of fare of a more diversified and attractive character was put forth, containing ten items for the two days. Following Doncaster so closely may in a measure have weakened the fields, but the absence of horses from dis- tant stables was made up by the support afforded by the Danebury, Woodyeates, Wantage, and Findon stables, who now- a- days select this opportunity of trying their strength, and getting a " measure" without going far for it. The weather was fine, but bitterly cold, and the attendance on the course and in the stand much larger than has been seen for years, the Ring likewise being very numerously represented; whilst there were more noblemen and gentlemen present thau have been seen at any meeting this season ; and the betting in consequence was, in some instances, both heavy and important. Amongst the company we noticed Lords Ribblesdale, Exmouth, and Portsmouth ; Sir J. B. MiUs, Sir F. liathurst and Capt Bathurst, W. Wvndham, Esq, M. P., Mr J. H. C. Wyndham ; Messrs Gr; eme, G. Payne, R. and W. Etwall, H. Padwick, & c. The Craven Plate, the first event on the card, brought out seven runners? British Remedy and Gaberiunzie being the favourites, but the race resulted in the success of Sealark, an outsider, in Woolcot's stable, not named in the Ring, which gave the fielders the first turn. Nine put in appearance for the Wiltshire Stakes, and Tame Deer having so much the best of the weights was the selected of the " talents," but the race was another slice of luck for Mr Parr, whose representative, Apathy, won in such very hollow style that he was afterwards backed at 12 tol for the TwO Thousand, whilst the same odds were booked once or twice about M. D. for the Derby. The City Bowl, for which five raSr,' was won cleverly by Lady Conyngham. After which, five youngsters went to the post for the Fourth Biennial Stakes. Happy Land, from Woodyeates, was a great " pot," and he won in a canter. The last race of the day, the Third Biennial Stakes, turned out a grand coup for the fielders; as 7 to 4 was betted on Tricolor, and 2 to 1 taken about Martinet, who, carrying 61b. extra, in the absence of Arsenal, the conqueror ef Tricolor last year, represented the Findon stable. Neither, however, had the ghost of a chance with Vaulter, who won in a canter. Want of time aud space will not permit us to indulge in in- troductory remarks upon Friday's proceedings further than to state that " the weather underwent a severe change during the night; and heavy rain, accompanied by snow storms, fell throughout the day, which caused the attendance to be wretch- edly thin, and brought the meeting to a close under any tiling but agreeable circumstances.

Tile lot, with the exception of Claude Lorraine, who got badly off, left the post in a line. The favourite, with a slight lead, fol- lowed, after settling in their places, by Sealark, Greyluig, and The Dupe; an interval of two or three lengths Separating the latter from Gaberiunzie and Impatience. They ran thus to the road, where British Remedy was headed by Sealark, Greyling, and The Dupe, between whom a close race ensued, Sealark winning by half a length, and The Dupe defeating Greyling by the same.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11.— A match came off at Pinkhill Farm, between Mr Divine's br m Lena and Mr Bertram's b m Barmaid, t or 25 sovs a side. The course included nineteen jumps, six of which were over water, the. distance being about four miles. As both horses and owners were well known with all the surrounding hunts, the match excited considerable interest. The betting at starting was about even, Lena for choice, as it was thought that " the divine's'' steering powers were a point in her favour. The start took place at about half- past two, Barmaid going away at a rattling pace with a strong lead, which she maintained over the brooks the second time, when Lena, who had gradually been creeping up, passed her, and the pair raced together until within a quarter of a mile from home, both horses clearing their jumps in first- rate style. In the plough; before the winning field Lena improved her lead; Barmaid attempted to come, bufcit was " bellows to mend," and she fell heavily at the last fence, leaving Lena to gallop in as she pleased. Time, llmin 30sec. . MATCH, 10 sovs ; over about two miles of fair hunting country.

He refused the first jump, and was not got over until Regina had passed the winning- post, having gone round the course " alone in herglory."

The first day's running came off on the grounds of Fordown, by the kind permission of the Hon Capt Arbuthnot; and the se- cond on the grounds at Laurencekirk, kindly granted by Lord Kintore. , ,, ..' • TkeCcp. I, " Braithwaite gave general satisfaction; as also did Mr Crosbie, the slipper. The following are details of the running :— DUMFRIES CUP.— Bessie'Lee and Keepsake ran a 110 go, the judge not seeing the course, when the latter was drawn. White- cloud and Neilson each wrenched the hare in the order named, the former killing. Mystery and Freebooter : The latter took a strong lead, struck at the hare at the fence, missed, and came down a cracker, cutting himself very severely,, when the former got in and made some strong points, but although the dog joined again, he was unable to get over the accident. Criffel led Water of Urr, and had a longish; course all to herself. Danger and Miss Nightingale : The dog took the first two points; the bitch then raced past him and turned, the dog killing. Janet and Pate Porteous: The hare ran a complete curve; and Janet, having the inside; just reached, her first and killed. TORTHORWALD STAKES.'— Kiss Me Not and Logan Wonder ran a no- go; in the second trial the dog led, took the first two points; the bitch then got in, struck at the hare, raced past the dog, turned, and . killed. Canrobert and Killiecrankie: The former led, and had a short course to himself, the latter not being " i' the vsim" Glenlogie and Wee Willie : The former won cleverly. Clincher and Tyne tem a no- go, after which the former won, but with nothing to spam Jim Crow and Pugilistic Draper: The former won very decisively, as also did Primrose in the next course. . '- ' : > • - CUP.— Second ties: White Cloud and Bessie Lee ran a no- go • in their second trial the " White won cleverly. Mystery and Criffel: This course excited considerable interest, the dogs- being known good ones, and half sisters. The former had'the best1 of the course at first, evincing most speed; the latter, however, had the best of the finish, and, had the - judge - seen it, the fiat might have been in- her favour. Danger and Janet rana tgr- rifie course,, the dog having the best Of it all though. TUB STAKES.— Second ties: Kiss Me Not . and Glenlogie: The latter had the first, second, and third pointfl, and struck at His hare ; the bitch then got ia, and had the remainder of the course almost to herself.— Canrobert and Clincher : The former won cleverly. Jim Grow and Primrose: The former too fast for the Rose at first, after which the course was well contested. THE CUP.— Third ties: White Cloud and Mystery: The former led to the top of the hill, when both became unsighted. Before the dog could be got up, a fresh hare started, when he ran a most punishing course, which completely extinguished his chance, after which he was drawn. Danger had also a most punishing bye. THE STAKES.— Third ties: Canrobert and Jim Crow: The latter led, and outpaced theFrenchmpn from first- to last of a good course. Kiss Me Not had a bye. THE CUP.— Deciding courseMystery and Danger were slipped on plough, and although the dog got the furrow, the bitch raced past him, and won, the dog not being able to make an effort from sheer distress. THE STAKES.— Deciding course: . Jim Crow and Kiss Me Not: This was a long and severe course, Jim Crow winding in gallant style, several, times flying past bis- opponent. f ANNANDALE.

Welsh Heiress, who ran a short course very smartly, beat Ger- trude, who met with two severe mishaps in the course. Mary Ambree beat Coroner, with little to spare. Evening Star and Senate ran an undecided course, when the owner of the latter agreed to draw him. Dovey ran a bye. Virago easily beat Drill, who did not go in her usual style. Mary Ambree very cleverly beat Welsh Heiress. The Saplings now made their p.' ipearance, when Nancy in the latter part of the course oeat Rose O'Donnell, who led very smartly from the slips, working in beautiful smooth style, when all at once she appeared to tire off; she is a model of a greyhound in appearance, and I have no doubt will next season prove a formidable competitor. Lady had not much trouble in disposing of Active, whose movements did not agree with his name. Richard received very nearly the same compliment from Red Jacket. I was given to understand that Richard and his sister had but very recently left their walks, and had fretted. I shall expect to hear of them again, but they must certainly " come to the post" iu better condition. The deciding courses for the two top stakes was all that was left to be done ; the Railway Stake was divided between Nancy and Lady. It was a sharp contest between Doveywater and Evening Star, eventually ending in favour of Dovey. Mary Ambree cleverly beat Virago, who had, nevertheless, run very well throughout the day. Thus came the finish for the season here, and I cannot conclude without expressing many thanks to those gentlemen who have so kindly given permission to course over their lands, and likewise to the neighbouring farmers for their genuine hospitality in regaling the hungry and thirsty sportsmen with a bountiful supply of the good things of this life. The de- cisions of the judge were all that could be desired, being just, fair, and impartial. The ordinary was the wind up, the respected host and hostess giving proof that they knew how to cater for those requiring the creature comforts.— Yours, & c„ SAIOPIA. HACXTHORPE MEETING- MAHCH 6.

The sport on this occasion was capital, the day being fine; the hares were not so numerous as we have seen here; ran strong, affording some capital trials. The stakes were rum off in a most satisfactory manner, and there were fresh dogs enough on the ground to fill another, but we were limited to three. Some matches, however, were made, and after some half dozen courses, darkness put an end to a most excellent day's coursing. The Major was on the ground, and slipped the dogs for about half a dozen courses. The de- cisions gave general satisfaction. 1 LAHDMAHK.

The Cup and Stakes did not fill, owing to the meeting clashing with others, which at this season is unavoidable. The meeting, however, was attended by a large assemblage of lovers of the leash; the weather was fine, the hares stout and strong, affording some splendid trials, and much gratification to the spectators. Mystery, the winner of the Cap, is full sister to King Lear, and has several times figured in your columns as a winner. She is a strong, muscular bitch, with good paca, and an excellent worker, altogether a very mysterious lady; and her owner, who is well- known and highly respected among us as a keen courser and noble- hearted man, was warmly congratulated on his sue- HI. 1" Telae boat Forest Queen Creeping Kate beat j^ pg^ Mr Skeoch's Telse and his Creeping Kate divided- the stakes.

The weather was dry, and the turf ofthe park in fine condition, but a piercing north wind added perceptible discomfort to tliose who were unexpectedly defeated. The entry comprised as a . lot, fourteen very good- looking saplings, but the running was. not equal to former meetings of the same kind, nor do I think that , the young stock manifested any flattering symptoms of promise, excepting, the fortunate kennel of Mr Lawrence, which. did not lose a single course, and won each stake, excepting dividing one at the solicitation; of Mr Eandell after an undeeided course between Lady le Gros and Rarity. The best course of the day was that between Lazzarone and his sister Ladyle Gros, who ran their byes together. The former showed good speed to the hare, but the Lady le Gros persevered admirably, and wheii once in, contested eyery point beautifully and successfully. These showed the strong working of the Lablache blood very plainly with ( I think) more speed than tlie " Lablaclie" generally possess, and must merit an investment in the Ashdownand Amesbury Stakes, with a prospect of provfiig themselves worthyof their excellent dam. The course also between Glowworm andLynpillahad some very good and wellrcontestedrun- ning in it, but, I think, too closely, to. indicate a " flyer" in either. Bondsman did not show well in his course; he is too overg^ ovth for a sapling entry, and should not hsve seeh a liare before iiext autumn; indeed, the usual day, viz, about the 26th, Wotild; have given a very acceptable addition to tbfiir preparation, which, I imagine, was. wisely ( joijsidered by tbqSe„ w| io pur- chased at Mr Jardine's sale, neither of the " Croome entries'' which were sold with that engagement. havitlg put in an appear- ance. Beechnut is" a good- looking and nice running bitch; but the hare in each of her CQiirses rati. most unfavourably foil her, , and she must not be discaMed>^ ibis entrty. t . The Chadbtir^ Kennel may please any one as regards their appearance, but they must improve much in pace and behaviour to hold a place in their owner's estimation; for it was, remarked pretty freely, that the sale of the first season 0110s " to make room , for the sap- lings," must have been too precipitate. The purchase, how- ever, of Richmond for the late monster event, and the well known tact and judgment of their owner, preclude iny coin-" cidingwith those opinions. The three matches, which were each won quite unmistakealily, concluded the day's sport.— Yours, & c, • "- - - - "' ' A- COPRSER/' • B0EEATT0N ( BASCHURCH) SPRING MEETING— • ' MARCH 9. . - - " • Stewards: G.

The ground was all tijrf, being the beautiful meadows which skirt the river DoVe. The weather was all that could be wished, hares plentiful and good, the courses being a series of excellent trials, some very severe. " The entries, though hot large, included many first- rate greyhounds; and . the decisions of Mr M'George gave universal satisfaction. Upwards of twenty gentlemen afterwards partook of an excellent dinner, at the " White Hart Hotel, Burton- upon- Trcnt ;' the wines were first- class, and charges moderate. Several new members were elected, and altogether the meeting was a most pleasant one. G. M. SATHRAGAN CLUB MEETING- MARCH 10. - Judge ; MrUpnnor. Slipper: Mr Sheridan. A SWEEPSTAKES. ; .

The running commenced with Senate and Queen, when, after three undecided courses, the former, who I think is a very fair greyhound, cleverly won. Evening Star easily defeated Bright Idea.

The grounds are abundantly sup- plied with hares, remarkable for speed and stoutness; but the lateness ofthe season, & c, had made a most decided change in their running, and every hare that was coursed was killed, which is a very unusual occurrence on those extensive preserves. Con- sidering tbe amount of the Cup and stakes (£ 74), the entry of dogs was very small. The general opinion at the meeting seemed to be, that the best dogs won, Argus and Bugle, both belonging to G, Hewson, Esq, of Ennismore, in the county of Kerry, ran first and second, and the former was the winner last year, so that his sporting owner is now the owner of the Cup, having won it twice., They are both magnificent dogs, and their running was the admiration of all present, and their condition, & c, were a credit to any trainer, Another favourite at the meet was Mr Hewitt's fawn bitch Nell, got by his dog Lobster ( now dead).

Mentor beat Little Poll Pretty Pippin beat Cardinal k turbs the hare by running over her; the last dog takes after her because she gets up under his nose. This I have seen occur in Jhe first run up to the slipped hare, and where the dog that dis- turbed her was evidently first from his superior speed; he there* fore wins the course up to that time, not by running longer after Vie slipped hare, for he is fairly entitled to the course at the time the other hare got up, and his fellow took after it." I have selected this case to show how various the opinions would be were it left an open question to the judge, or to be decided up to where the dogs divide. Every one that is a courser must be aware that the dog that runs second from the slip is often run- ning after the leading dog, and not the hare, the other being between him and- his game, and he must also have seen that the run up is no criterion as to which is the" best dog. As in racing, so in coursing, there are many " jades'.' in dogs as in horses. My opinion is, therefore, for " undecided" where the dogs divide. It will prevent disputes, and the parties themselves can settle the matter as they may think best for their interest. The same may be said as to a. third dog joining, the penalties being the same as they now are. When it is considered how very rarely either case occurs, it surely is the wisest plan to'have que decided rule, which could not be open to cavil, or place the judge in so un- pleasant a position.— Yours, & c, AN OIID COUKSEB. St Leonard's, March 10,1857. THE LATE ARDR0SSAN CLUB MEETING. ( EEOM OUB SPECIAL COBBESPONDENT.) MB EDIIOB : The recent gift of a handsomeOhampionCollar, by their noble patron, the Earl. of Eglinton, afforded the coursers of Ayrshire an opportunity of trying their prowess, for the fifth time this season, on Thursday and Friday, last week, in a 32 dog, stakes, the results of which event appeared by" telegraph" in your last impression, The " Champion Collar" will form a standing prize of the Club, being inscribed as the presentation of the " Right Hon the Earl of Eglinton to the Ardrossati Coursing Club, to be run for annually," ami. the winner on this occasion in addition (£ 10 being given by tke club) receives £ 33; the ruhnftr up, £ 15; third and fourth, £ 8 each; expenses. £ 10. On the first day ft was coring to witness the large attendance of the members of tlus flourishing Club, and the spirit, of the managers, of whom I only missed tbe vicerpresident, Provost Campbell, his absence being accounted for, I regret to state, by family affliction. The second day, however, afforded a sad contrast, The judge fully sustained* the high character of which he gave , an earnest at the February meeting ; but I have again to pass a remark On the inaptitude displayed by the slipper and- beaters. Mr Conn, the active and attentive'field secretary, did his utmost . to keep the latter right, but being on foot was placed at a disadvantage, and with such duties to perform, I think the suggestion not out of place that he should be mounted. The coursing ground formed a perfect scenic gem, an amphitheatre surrounded by the fine- mansions of. Fairlie, Newfield, and Kepington Castle. On Thursday, we met at llarperland; the weather cold and' windy, with occasional showers, and as the day advanced the rain descended in torrents— not very consoling for, a wind- up, but the less to be complained of after a good day's sport. The first brace, Judy and Young Winton, after three pastures had been drawn blank, found- on- young grass. Young Winton taking a good lead, turned; serving himself, and led to cov « r; a hollow win, St Patrick led Telegraph several lengths and ran a considerable distance before he could reach his hare, which he swerved, and turned to Telegraph, who took up the signal, wrenched, and led to cover. Barmaid was led away by Gaiety, and thus lost. the two first turns, but" the latter proved the folly of Gaiety in excess by turning wide, when tlie Maid, '" wiser grown," went in, wrenehed three times, and turned, following up with a b'eau- ful kill down hill. Lincluden led Cartoon on inside ground, turned, and wrenehed; Cartoon, racing past him, transferred the hare to himself, made some strong points, and cleverly won an average course, Lin ciuden 1 eading to coyer. Clarendon and Billy Go Rarely were taken to Ithe next field, aplough; the latter took a strong lead on to lea, fetching his hare back, when each contested the nekt fivO or six points very e venly to cover, Billy ' just gaining the j udge's fiat. Gladiator led Sauve Qui Peut, and took the first seven turns in succession, downing his hare thrice^ the red then got in, aud was very handy for a few turns, when Gladiator turned, and had a seveTe fall. However, he came again after the red had again put her hare about, and made a fine kill down hill, rolling heels over, head. Gladova and Blackberry were slipped in the. same field, a bare lea, across the ridges. The former led two lengths, wrenched, and turned; Blackberry had the next, when Gladova, racing up, turned widely, and was outworked. in a good average course. Lancaster and Scud upon plough; the former led and turned, and, keeping well iu the line of his hare, wrenched several times, Scud racing by and killings The winners smooth style of running was much admired. Jenny Hooks scarcely gave Darley any. assistance to a hare which proved itself too good for both. Beacon and Etoile du Kbrd: An unsatisfactory trial— a cross slip, within one hundred yards of cover. The former, who had a great- advantage, turned. his hare. close at the fence, run- ning her through the cover a severe course in the pleasure grounds of Fairlie. This course should not have been de- cided. Black Cloud led Gheisk two or three lengths into a third field before be could reach his hare,, which he turned, Gheisk taking the uext and wrenching, Black Cloud, the next leading into cover. Rob Roy showed the pacc to the hare, but Ptarmigto never gave liim another chance in acourse of moderate length, to coyer. Diable Boiteux . and Clodrama had a short no go, losing the hare at the fence. In their next attempt, Clodfatna acted the part Of looker- on throughout an average course to cover. Look- out and Mitesse; the former took first turn, but was outworked, for the next two or three, and looked decidedly out. Unfortunately, however, for Mr Snsith, one of his dogs hM slipped his collar and joined the course, thus leaving LOok- out in reality in. BedMzUng » Btpaced£ e- Siewh> d « Frambpisy throughout a short course to cover. Drumclog beat, Fleur de Lis in a nice average course. Second ties: St Patrick V Young Winton : A beautiful and close contested run on lea. St Patrick took the first turn, each serving the other for four or five points, when the Saint " perished the varmint" by killing. Cartoon outpaced Bar- maid throughout a moderate run, the hare escaping in the crowd, and depriving his opponent of a chance of displaying ber close- working. qnalities. , Biily Go Rarely led Gladiator, and ob- tained the first turn ; the latter then going up, wrenched, and killed. Lancaster raced away from Blackberry, and had" all the first part of the course, when Blackberry went in, knocked her hare about- in good style, and finished with a clever kill. Darley and Beacon, a bad slip, the latter evidently sore from his pre- vious severe course. Darley got the first turn, let Beacon in for the second, and took third and fourth, when each had some pretty work, slightly in favour of Darley, Beaeon killing by the cover side. Black Cloud led Ptarmigan four or five lengths, and turned into the line of the white, who made a wide turn. Black Cloud then took his hare, wrenched three or four times, and picked her up. From the well earned prestige of both dogs, the most unbrotherly looking types of the Blue Bugle breed, being as diverse in size ana figure as in colour, this was a very exciting run; Look- out and Diable Boiteux were slipped off plough on to young wheat to a racing bare, which just served the speed of Look- out, who got the three or four first turns, when Diable got in, turned his hare twice, and led out of sight, Look- out knowingly giving up, and who knows but that it was by the judge not having a " look out" that Look- out had it? Drumclog slightly led Bedazzling on outside ground, and took the first rum ; Bedazzling had the second, and Drumclog came on again for the third, running wide. The clo3e- working quali- ties of Bedazzling were unmistakea^ le, taking the hare to him- self, and running an average course to cover. On Friday, we met at Rouhdhill. A fine morning marred only by one or two slight showers, which blew overbefore hosti- lities commenced. The muster very small, not one of the. com- mittee gracing the company with their presence. Mr Conn, flag steward, in the absence of the secretary; master of the cere- monies, called St. Patrick and Cartoon to the slips for the third ties, a prime hare being found at the back of the farm house. Cartoon led through the fence and turned twice, St Patrick leading to cover. Gladiator led Blackberry to a cunning hare, which availed itself of a small hedge, turned, and threaded it several times, and then broke away, favouring Blackberry, but only to be passed by Gladiator, who made a splendid kill. Black Cloud led Darley two or three lengths from inside ground, turned twice, Darley scoring the next, and Black Cloud the fol- lowing point, when Darley racing away, reversed his hare twice, the hare going upon a ridge of plough, where, I fancy, pussy missed her feet, and Darley picked her up. Some " blackcloud" must have dimmed my optics, and hid from my view what led to the judge's decision, and it was not difficult to see a cloud over the unutterable looks of the good- natured arid straightforward trainer of the black. Bedazzling and Look- out changed sides, the dog being favoured in. the run up, but before he reached his hare Bedazzling shot past him and turned, keeping with . her game through a fence to the public road, where she again turned, wrenched, arid made a spirited kill, Look- out quietly " looking on" the while. . - ./ Fourth ties: Gladiator, first from the slips, allowed Cartoon to pass him, running through a narrow planting before he could fairly reach his hare— a good one— when he made the three first turns. Gladiator then got in and fetched his hare back in, ber old track, turned four, times in succession, and looked very like win- ning, when CartOon came again, and knocked his hare about in superior style, but was unable to kill her. Gladiator ran a good dog in this stake, although heevidently felt the effects of a bad cut in his fore foot, which, I observed,, lie commenced the meeting with. Darley and Bedazzling: A long, long slip, far too long fOr this enclosed country. The hare rose wild at one end of the field, the dogs slipped at the other; they both became un- sighted, and a hide- and- seek scrimmage, " I cannot say tvvice," was the result, With little merit to either. The drawing now took place for the Consolation and Auchans Stakes, after which Darley and Cartoon were put in for the ,; , t A ; Deciding course: Cartoon made the two first turns, getting well away with his hare td the high road, where, after a good struggle, Darley passed him, and turned into a narrow strip of planting, the hare leadipg him a dance through three fields and escaping into cover. . .'„ , '' CONSOLATION STAKES.— Scud had all the first and last part of a very severe run with Jenny Hooks, who only made three or four points in the middle of the course. Clodrama and Black- berry a similar course, Gheisk scarcely allowed Young Winton a point in a long course ; only one dash to kill, the hare making cover. Gaiety easily disposed of Clarendon. Second ties: Gheisk and Scud : A nice trial; the former ledjand worked her hare very prettily, putting in the black, who was not long before Gheisk passed her, driving her hare beautifully to cover. Gaiety led Clodrama, turned twice, and caught the hare, but it escaped her claws. Clodrama turned her four times consecu- tively, and Gaiety then went in with a go- bye, and had a long single handed course, Mr Gordon winning with two, AUCHANS STAKES.— Fanny led Bright Spirit on inside ground, and turned. The Spirit flitted past her, made a dash to kill, and overshot himself, the hare getting out to the road ( where a good looking countryman characterised it as a " keek- bo" course), through the hedge, into cover, Barwine beat Whistle- binkie at all points, and killed, running with great fire. Bluette and Wee Willie: an indifferent trial on plough. They ran down a furrow, the hare making for a rbad, and bending for the fence, put ill tbe dog. The bitch passed him, turned, and put him in again, when she again passed, and, in rushing tokill, got a fall, the dog going up, and killing. The bitch was badly, cut, the run being chiefly on the high road. Second, ties : Bar- win © made some beautiful quick turris, and soon vanqiushed Fanny in a short course to cover. Bluette ran her bye with Bar- maid, the latter doing the needful. Deciding course: Barwine and Bluette slipped on plough. The former getting theifurrow behind the hare, made first turn, and the blue running on the ridge served the dog, who got in, led thoiigh the hedge, swerved the hare, led to cover, and wom— Yours, & c, .. " . ••• - ••••'.!••'-. : . CALEDONIA. ; THE LATE NOTTINGHAM OPEN MEETOTG. ( FBOM AN OLFD COKBESPONDENT.) MB EDITOB : Although too late for last week's paper, your readers will perhaps be glad to have, a general glance of the run- ning at this very popular meeting, and without further preface I will endeavour to go through some of the principal courses. On Tuesday the meet was at Newton Windmill. CHESTEBPIBLD CUP.— Dangerous Pick and Bessie in slips: Some sharp betting took place on this course, as Dick had gained local laurels, and Bessie was the winner of one of the principal stakes last season. The course may soon be told. The dog led from tbe slips/ got well in with his hare, and was never fairly collared, in rather a short course— a very quick thihg, ending with a beautiful kill by the dog. Dispatch and Gipsy Lass ran a course in turn in a very slovenly mariner; Gipsy Lass waS then drawn.. Richmond ran one of his telling courses with Sweep, who was obliged to look at the whole of it, Richmond picking up his hare. Legerdemain aud Dalton ran ah undecided course, after which Dalton fairly won a good average one. Nutwith Lass was too fast for Alice, beating her at all points, very much to the chagriri of some of the heavy bettors, who had booked this for a " good thing." Campfollowei- arid Hermas: The former the favourite; the first course undecided; the latter won thoroughly by the dog, the bitch killing. I fancy she was not in her usual form— an opinion acquiesced in by Mr Gregsoa, who, I believe, left his dogs in care of a person while he just looked at the Waterloo Meeting, and on his arrival at Nottingham found them short of work. Mentor beat Columbine thoroughly. Top- per Brown surprised all by beating Bulbul, the last winner for that once popular courser, Mr Buckworthy, now no more. The hare had much to do with the winning of this course, giving the dog all he got. Boreas took a strong lead from Engine Driver, ^ Mentor beat Pretty Pippin Mr Braithwaite's Mentor beat Mr Grimshaw's Bugle, and won the stakes, THE SOLO AND GOVERNESS AFFAIR, & c. MB EDITOB: The question as to dogs dividing in a course has occupied some space in your paper, and many cases have been giveri to prove that the course ought not to be undecided, but __ c, _ that the judge should decide on the merits of each doc up t ® and wrenched twice, after which he rushed to kill; but fell; this let in Engine Driver, who scored a few points and killed.

Medusa outpaced Miss Miller at the commencement, but was nearly beaten, when a third dog got loose, and disposed of a very good chance ot Miss Miller's winning, she doing all the last part of "^ Pourse. Bracelet cleverly beat War Cry. iu a good lengthy course running like a first- rate greyhound. Pretty Pippin was Wftf after a no- go. Millsail did as hS pleased with Lady Amelia. R,- ott and Boisterous: On this bettin « took place, the dog the favourite at 5 and t, to t The course is soon told- Ryott took the lead, was n ® !£ r ^ fl*:' 1. a » d killed— short, but very decisive. The owner or tne bitch was so excited over this course that it brought on a & t, which lasted some time, but ultimately he recovered. Dur- ham showed very superior speed over Bay, and won as he pleased, running very game. Mainsail beat Merry in a rather short course. CHESTERFIELD Cur.— First ties; Dispatch bad very little to do with Dangerous Dick, who ran beautifully and killed in fine style. Kichmond and Dalton : This was a Very exciting course, as, strange to say, they met in the Waterloo Cup the previous week, when Dalton won. It was, perhaps, just on the cards far the latter to have repeated the dose here, but a fence interfered and gave Richmond a chance, which, through his clever fencing qualities, he took advantage of, and never relinquished it through a good course, on a fine piece of turf. Nutwith Lass led and beat Hermas in an average course. Mentor took a good lead from Engine Driver, and killed before the latter reached him. lopper Brown won as he pleased with Leading Strings, the lat- ter appearing to enjoy the fun of looking on as much as any ofthe spectators. Bendigo led Chandos to the fence, where he stuck for a few seconds ; Chandos gained an advantage by the hare turning to his track, and he made good use of it, and K'jnduro had only time to be " in at the death." SECOND DAY.— Met at the Chesterfield Arms, Bingham, and commenced coursing at the Mill. The hares were So numerous that they were obliged to drive the fields before they could get & slip at a single hare. The running generally to- day was of a very superior description, the hares living well before the dogs, and the ground being dry, firm, and good. No. 1; SAPLING STAKES.— A. good fight between two young ones, Minna just beating Minnie in a nicely contested course. Master Mocking Bird was faster than Bit of Blood, and made first turn; the little one then got well in with her hare, and looked some time like the winner, when the hare broke away, and allowed the dog's pace to tell, although she wasnever after well commanded. Mr Davis fancying his dog good enough to vf m both Sapling Stakes, the committee agreed to let No. 2 stand oyer until later in the day. ' . THE STANHOPH STAKES.— Sam Savory led Nancy, and won* short course/ after which he got a " pumper" after another hare. Bristol Bird's Eye led Boreas on inside ground, the latter work- ing the best, and wiuning a smart- run course cleverly. Lollypop had nothing but the run up with Mystery. Boisterous was taking a good, lead from Artillery, when* he made a rush and let m Artillery, who wrenched a few times and killed. Black Eyed Susan ran a beautiful course with Damsel, winning tit all points aind going in fine style. Lady Evelyn well won a course with Our Nell. Fairy outpaced and outworked Camp Follower, although 2 to 1 was often laid on the latter. Fly outworked Pasha, and won a good course well. 1 , • NOTTINGHAM CUP.— First ties: Birdlime bad the first and last part of a well- contested course with Medusa. Bracelet ran an undecided course with Pretty Pippin, after , which the latter wasdrawn. Ryott led and outworked Milisaii, and won a good average course. In consequence of the accident to Durham, Mainsail ran a bye, in which he cleverly beat Our Nell. CHESTEBPIKLD CUP.— Second ties: Dangerous Dick was rather favoured by the hare in his " no go" with Richmond ; in the next trial Dick had the run up, and beat Richmond iu a moderate lengthy course. . Some heavy bets were lost on this " pot," for coursing," like racing " pots," now and then " boil over," Mentor appeared much faster than Nutwith Lass, but the hare favoured the fawn dog, who won a short course. Chandos disposed of Topper Brown in a moderate length course. No. SAPLING STAKES— Master MockingBirdbeat Bother'em in speed to the hare, when the other exchanged a few points, but the hare was soon killed— a clear win. Fop ran fast and well With Elastic, who only put in an appearance late in the course, but what she did was very clever. ; THE MANOE HOUSE STAKES.— A fine and well- contested course between Sweep and Boisterous, the latter, rather the best all through, winning by rare pluck. Bristol Bird's Eye, after a severe course, disposed of Merry in another very long one, both nearly running to a standstill. This finished the second day. THIRD DAY.— Met at Crosswell Gate. THE TBBNT STAKES.— Bellona beat Topper Brown in a slovenly- run course by the latter, who performed very badly from beginning to end. Molly Bawn beat Cinder Hill Tom thoroughly. Dainty beat Teviot Lass well, sfteran undecided course, in consequence of dividing after two hares. Bendigo easily disposed of Mrs Snooks, the lady giving but little assist- ance to the " ex- champion." The original " Bendy" was on the ground, and backed his pet each course. In the second round. Bellona was too fast and clever for Molly Bawn, and won in all partsof the course. Bendigo led Dainty to the hare, and had the best of a moderate length course— the dog always with his game, whilst the bitch ran wide throughout, every now and again rushing for a kill. The issue was never in doubt.— Deciding course: Bendigo took the lead from Beilona ; the hare then made for the crowd, several accidental points were given and received, when it was very properly undecided. In the next trial Bendigo got a- good lead, kept it, wrenched a few times, and finished by a kill of merit. No. I SAPLING . STAKES was divided between Master Mocking Bird and Minna, without running, the owner of the dog re- serving bim for the deciding course of No. 2, in whieh Master Mocking Bird led Fep to a fence, but would not have it; the other got through, and rana most distressing course single handed, killing very cleverly. When they came together again the " monster" was the freshest, and won well, though the loser likely to be heard of again: be goes in good form, and has pace, and stoutness. STANHOPE STAKES,— First ties: Boreas and Artillery were slipped, when a fresh hare- got up, each taking one. Boreas ran a very severe course, crossing the road, and ran her to a plan- tation; Artillery ran his to ground. In their next slip Boreas led several lengths; the white made some points in the middle, but was well beaten by the black at the finish. Black- eyed Susan had much the best of Lady Evelyn in a fine course. The deciding course was not run, as the dog was so severely tried in his two previous courses, and both belong to one party. THE NOTTINGHAM CUP.— Second ties : Birdlime led Ryott, and had the best of the first part of the course, but was cleverly beaten afterwards. Bracelet led Mainsail and raced fast to her game, wrenched it a few times, and made a very meritorieus kill. Deciding Course: Bracelet led Ryott, and I thought had the best of a short course, but the judge, considering that there was not enough in it to test the merits of two good puppies, gave it undecided. They were again put into slips, Bracelet leading to a small cover— again undecided. After waiting a short time they were again called up, but with a different result, Ryott leading from the slips, and making a fine kill, was awarded the cup. It is but justice to Bracelet to state that she sprained her ankle in the second undecided course, which in some measure will account for her losing pace in the deciding one. CHESTERFIELD CUP.— Third ties: Dangerous Dick started fastest after a good hare, but before reaching her she came on to Mentor's ground, whogot. through a fence first, made good use of his position, and won a fine course, when both dogs became unsighted. They, however, again got on either the same or a fresh hare, when Dangerous Dick had a decided advantage over his more fortunate opponent— so much for a slice of luck in coursing. Mentor, when taken up, had severely injured one eye, which may account for the beating he got with the second hare, the decision in the first instance being a correct one. Chandos ran his bye with Engine Driver, who failed in making a point in the course.— Deciding course: Chandos led, when Mentor made a fine point at a small fence, was never afterwards : collared, and won a short course well. THE MANOB HOUSE STAKES.— Deciding course: Bristol Bird's Eye bad the best in a long fine run course with Boisterous, and finished a game clever winner. The meeting was of a good character, whether we consider the quality of ihe dogs, the management, or the ground. The Earl of Chesterfield, the popular patron, upon whose property the coursinK took place, was expected, but was prevented from at- tending by business in town. Everything requisite was done* both in the field and at the inns to make the strangers to Not- tingham happy. The spectators behaved well; and it only shows whatgood words and usage will do when properly applied. Mr Hassall, the Earl's respected steward, was daily on the ground and did all in his power to show sport. At each ordinary, the healths, of the noble Earl, Lord Stanhope, the Countess, and Lady Evelyn were heartily given, and received by old English cheers, such as only Notts farmers ean giye. The thanks of the Nottingham coursers are justly due and honestly tendered by them for the liberal use of the ground at all times.' The stewards were most active, and the beating was all that could be wished. Taking the meeting as a whole, we have no fear of saying that it was of a character to please the most fastidious, aud bids fair to take its proper stand as one of the great events of the season. The honorary secretary was most assiduous in the discharge of his duties, and. must have felt proud to see so many of hisowti breeding " in at the death," eight being left in for the last day ! There has been some talk or a Produce Stake being got up earlier in the season, but at present nothing is positively fixed respeetingit.— Yours, & c. SHERWOOD. THE CALEDONIAN CLUB AND THE " RED DEER .' J' MONEY." -.. V,: ' 1 MB EDITOR : I much regret the continuance of this disagree- able discussion, which now assumes an aspect scarcely creditable to good coursers, and have truly much reluctance in joining in it; but m. v name having been recently introduced, as a steward, in connection with those of Messrs Paterson, Dunlop, and Ewing, arid answers to certain questions expected from us, I for myself beg to assure " A Public Courser" that upon his addressing me, either privately, or through your columns, under his real signa- ture, I shall use all means . in my power to render him due satis- faction. Appreciating his avowed motives, I nevertheless main- tain, that to an anonymous catechist, no such questions should be answered, and I conceive that Mr Blanshard, as secretary, erred in making such revelations, until he was made aware how far— nay, if at all—" A Public Courser" is, or was, entitled to interfere in the matters of tbe Caledonian Club, either past or present. By thus expressing myself, I however begt he parties distinctly to understand that I take part with neither on the various points at issue, though I hope and trust that were a calm reference made to the records, such as they are, it will be found that much of what now bears disagreeable appearances has arisen from misunderstanding and forgetfulness, as " A Public Courser," in his last, makes one very fatal mistake in facts, of which I shall with pleasure give him proof, from a document of old date by chance in my possession. I cannot conclude without expressing a shade Of disappointment at " A Public Courser" calling upon me by name ( in print) to account for ay steward- ship while he withholds his own, and, fearless of being deemed fastidious, I allege a want of common courtesy in his having so acted.— Yours, & c, WM. SHABPB. Hoddain, Ecclefechan, March 12,1857. • i — GREYHOUND PRODUCE.

COWES, MARCH 12.— This locality was on Monday last vi- sited by one of those, heavy northerly gales which, fortunately for. all bauds, are of rare occurrence— the result was that a heavy sea rolled into the harbour, and broke furiously over the water- side premises. A coal barge got adrift and fell athwart hawse of the little Coquette, which was lying astern moored all fours, and carried away the yacht's figure head, cutwater, rails, and davits, injured the bowsprit, and dia other damage. The yacht returned with he?: owner, J. W. H. Smith Pigott, Esq, last week from her winter's cruise for the purpose of refitting for the season. She Will require to have a new bowsprit, & c. Fortu- nately the damage was not more serious. The cutter Shadow, Sir Gilbert East, was launched yesterday from Spenser's yard, and proceeds to Bembriage to refit. Her lengthened bow has greatly. improved her appearance, and no doubt speed also will follow. She. is now 52 tons. IJhe Maraquita has been lengthened in the same yard by the stern, and the bunch taken out of her. She is now 125 tons, the Constance is nearly ready for sea. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. The monthlv meeting of this club was held at the club- house, oh Tuesday evening last. " The minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed, and this being the night for the annual election of officers, Mr Legg was voted to the chair, and the meeting proceeded to fili up all the offices then vacant by unanimously re- electing R. Hewitt, Esq. the Commodore ; E. Knibbs, Esq, the Vice- Commodore; P. Turner, Esq, treasurer; C. F. Chubb, Esq, hon sec, those gentlemen having filled the respective offices so many years, and with- so mueh benefit for the general interests of the club, besides working together with that hearty good will which should always exist between yachtsmen. The cup bearer, auditors, and Sailing Committee having been ap- pointed, the six gentlemen on the list for ballot were unani- mously elected. The opening trip was fixed for Thursday, April 9th, being the day before Good Friday. To start from off the Folly House, at half- past three. Several gentlemen were pro- posed for the next ballot. We understand that the Commodore, • with his usual alacrity, has already fitted out for the season. The Vice- Commodore has just arrived is the Thames, from Liverpool; in his new yacht the Zillah, 22 tons, after an adventu- rous voyage of ten days. We paid a visit to this craft the other day, and a more commodious, sea- going vessel, of her tonnage, we have seldom seen. She is said to fee very fast and very dry in'a sea way, but we think six feet off her main boom would mhke her a more comfortable hooker for pleasure purposes. ' SANEIAGrH YACHT CLUB. The monthlv meeting of this club was held last Wednesday evening, the lith inst, at the Swan Tavern, Battersea Bridge, aad was most numerously attended. The Commodore was in the chair, faced by the Vice- Commodore. After the transaction of the usual routine business, the following gentlemen were elected members of the club:— Mr Wm. Birch, Mr T. W. Charles, Captain Colbeck, Mr Thos. Cory, Mr Henry Dixon, Mr OiF. Field, Mr J. J. Ford, Mr W. P. Francis, and Mr T. H. Fteser.— The motion of which notice had been given was then brought forward by the treasurer, viz, that the maximum ton- nage of yachts allowed to sail in club matches should be ten tons instead of seven tons. This was seconded by the Vice- Commodore, who brought forward a statistical account of the various yachts tinder ten tons belonging to the port of London, the compilation of which must have been a work of considerable labour. The motion was strongly advocated by the secretary, amd upon a division wa3 carried by a majority of 31 to 2.— The Commodore reminded the members that, at the next club meet- ing to be held on Wednesday, the 8th April next, the matches for the season would be determined upon, and he then adjourned the meeting until that date. The secretary particularly re- quested members to send any corrections as to names, ad- dresses, yachts, & c, as the new lists are in course of preparation. ROYAL IRISH YACHT CLUB. The regatta to be given by this club in Dublin Bay during the ensuing season, has been fixed to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, 30th June and 1st July. When possible, these eaTly announcements of the seasons' fixtures are highly com- mendable, as other clubs are enabled to use them as a guide, and time is given to make alterations where interests would otherwise clash. . OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT- OARED RACE. All those who are looking forward with pleasure and interest to the impending contest between the two Universities, will be arlad to hear that ever since the conclusion Of their College Races, theC. U. B. C. has been hard at work getting together a crew, which is now in daily practice, and assuming a promising shape, They are, at present, a little heavier than their opponents; though we cannot tell exactly what they will be when in the requisite condition for the race. We subjoin the names and weights of both crews, from which it will be seen that some alteration and reduction has already ta, kfen place in the Oxford spew as given last week. OXFORD. st lb and are replete with every requisite convenience and accommo- dation. From its comrseucement this club has had our best wishes and support; and we trust this year its deeds may show that they have been deserved. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. We are requested to announce, that as the large room of the Freemasons' Tavern is engaged for the General Theatrical Fund dinner on the 8th April, the anniversary festival of this club is unavoidably postponed till Wednesday, the 8th. The other arrangements remain without alteration. LYMINGTON, HANTS.- A fine schooner of 85 tons o. m., was launched from the building yard of Mr Inman, on Wednesday last, named the Heroine, and is for R. Batt, Esq, Commodore of the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland. There is also building a fine schooner of 160 tons, and one of 105 tons; the latter, for R. Arabyn, Esq, will be launched ina fortnight, and at the same time one of 25 tons, for J. A. Crowther, Esq. Mr Inman has also just completed a new yacht of 53 tons for J. Wood, Esq. named Lily of the Test, and one of 25 tons for E. Ellice, Esq, M. P. There are now fitting out the following recently purchased yachts:— Magician, yawl, 64 tons, belonging to Erskine H.

Weld, Es, q; and the Vestal, schooner, F. O. Marshall, Esq. DAY AND GRANT.— In order to put an end to the chaff which has lately been caused by this proposed match, Mr Thomas Day called on us last week and placed articles in our hands, together with a first deposit of £ 5. According to these articles he is willing to row Grant from Putney New Bridge to the Ship at Mortiake, for £ 30 a side ( open for £ 50). on Thursday, May 7, to start one hour before high water. Should this suit T. Grant he has only to cover the £ 5 and sign, if not the money will be returned and an end put to the matter. Since the above was in type Grant has called upon us, and states that his backers will not make the match. Day can receive his money back on Thurs- day next at twelve. R. CHAMBERS of St Anthony's will row R. Buttle of Norwich for £ 50 a side over the same course as Kelly rowed at Norwich, or from the High Level Bridge, Newcastle, to the Suspension Bridge, Scotswood, and give or take £ 10 expenses.

CROYDON CLARENCE CLUB.— A meeting was held at Mr Laing's, the George the Fourth, Croydon, on Wednesday last, for the purpose of re- establishing this club, when a large muster of cricketers and lovers of the noble game assembled, and resolutions were unanimously passed to re- establish the club. Subscriptions, amounting to fifty guineas, were announced, and forty- eight members were enrolled, amongst them several of the leading gentry aud principal tradesmen of the town and neighbourhood. The meeting was adjourned until Monday evening next, at the same place, at seven o'clock, for the pur- pose of drawing Up the rules and electing officers for the ensuing year. SAINT JOHN'S WOOD CLUB.— This old- established club held a large meeting, in their club- room, in the St John's Wood Tavern, at Lord's Ground, on Wednesday last.

This affair, which created much , interest among the sporting men belonging to the East End, came off on Tuesday, and although the whole of the proceedings were carried out iu a most satisfactory manner, the tourney was by no means so good as was anticipated ; for a more one- sided affair has seldom been witnessed, Hazeltine, the once famous Pet of " my peoplish,' under whose auspices he was first introduaed to the P. R. never having the remotest chance. Hazeltine first commenced his pugilistic career, about ten years since, and though there is no necessity to give any minute details of his past performances, yet we may here briefly mention that his principal battles have been with Barnash, Harry Walker, George Crockett, Buckey, Noon, and Tom Ellis. The last time, however, that he figured in the Ring, was with George Brown, now nearly four years since, when Jack lost by a " foul." Since that period he has been completely on the " shelf," and it was thought that he had retired from this P. R. The fact is, that, having disap- pointed the expectation of his friends, as regards his milling pretensions, he found a tightness in the " money market," and could uot find backers, so. that he was perforce compelled to remain inactive, until he found friends to pit him against Bos Tyler, catch weight. Iu making brief allusion to the previous doings of Tyler, we may state that he has gained a titter reputation for his cleverness iu the use of his mawleys than for bulldog courage. That he is a good tactician, cannot for a moment be disputed; and although he has often given proof of being particularly fond of the " dropping system," yet in the present passage of arms, he fought in a very creditable manner, not getting down, except when he was perfectly justified in so doing. His battles with Abrahams, Baldock, Jack Keefe, & c, will be found duly recorded in Fistiana, and it is only requisite to state that the last time he appeared in the arena was when he fought Young Robinson, brother to the late celebrated Pheno- menon of Manchester, which event took place on the 23d of October last, but was not brought to a satisfactory conclusion, iu consequence of the poliee interfering, and the stakes were afterwards drawn. Bos, it will be recollected, is blind with the right eye. After an aquatic trip a fitting lo- cality was reached, where a speedy landing was effected. The veteran commissary lost no time in forming the ring, and so much expedition was used that all was in complete readiness by a little after twelve o'clock. Much time was, however, cut to waste in making selection of a referee, or the battle would have been brought to a close long before those who had the misfortune to miss the boat could by any possibility have reached the tilting ground. More than two hours elapsed before this functi > nary could be chosen, but, this difficulty over, the com- batants proceeded to arrange their toilets. Hazeltine, in weight, was about 9st 6lb, and his appearance must have been highly satisfactory to his friends, for it would have been impossible for him to have been more completely up to the mark. The only thing to be^ noticed in him was, that his muscles were not quite eye, snd apm reputed the medicine without a return. Jack £ 50 or £ 100 a side, Brettle at lOst 4lb, Flesh at 10at Sib.

B HOUSE v C.— This match, having lasted more than three weeks, was brought to a conclusion in favour of the former on Mondav, the 9th, by three geals to two. For B house Messrs Dighy Pigott, Street, aud W. Pigott kicked a goal apiece, and Messrs Beesley and Phelps did their best to keep up the renown of G house by each dropping a goal, from a considerable distance. There was an exceedingly long struggle for the winning goal, and we cannot praise Messrs Mason and Breton too much for their brilliant endeavours to gain the honour for C house Their drops were very well directed, but Fortune seemed determined to crown the natives of B house. This will probably be the last match of the season, and we trust that the weather will soon allow cricket to take the place of football. N. B. Mutual arrangements have been made between the two J'niversifies to row the race on Friday, April 3, instead of Satur- ay. Owing to the condition of the tides, the race will probably be rowed about eleven o'clock a. m , from Mortlake to Putney. It will be seen, by referring to our advertising columns, that Harvey and Timms, the well- known Oxford watermen, have chartered Citizen J to accompany the race. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. . The Lent Term Races were brought to a conclusion on Satur- dav, March 7, and the following list will show the changes which took place subsequent to our last report. The brackets denote the bumps :— FIRST DIVISION- MAECH 6. 1,. Lady Margaret 1 2. 2d Trinity 1 \ 3. 1st Trinity 1 / 4. Trinity Hall 1 5. 3d Trinity 1 8. Emmanuel 1 7. 1st Trinity 2 I 8. Sidney I 9.

Trinity Hall 8 J. s it will be seen that the Lady Margaret still holds her place at the head of the river, and that First Trinity are rapidly rising towards their former supremacy, while Trinity Hall seem to be falling from what, at one time, ap- peared to be the greatest altitude their silver crescent could attain. The principal novelties in these races are the fall of Second Trinity and the establishment of the Ancient Mariners' Club ; the former have risen uninterruptedly day after day from the twenty- third place on the river, having made a bump every day until they were first stopped by Trinity Hall in the last race last year, and again by the Lady Margaret this year. In the race of the 4th of March they gained but little on the Johnians, and that little at the corners, round which their boat seemed usually to have the advantage ; but, on the 6th, a race occurred between the two first boats, such as Father Cam has probably never before witnessed. It had been generally expected that Second Trinity would press the Lady Margaret a little, aud be them- selves pressed by First Trinity ; the expectations of all, how- ever, were exceeded, owing to an accident which befel the Johnians at the start; their coxswain let- the starting- bung fall between his yoke- lines, when the last gun fi^ ed, aud though the entanglement was dissolved at the first pull of the oars, by the giving way of tbe bolts through which the lines pass, yet the boat, owing to the retention of the after- part, shot across to the opposite bask, where it would inevitably have remained fast, had uot No. 7 ( Mr Pearson), with wonderful presence of mind, backed water, and so, while the port oars rowed, the boat was again brought straight, but not till their pur- suers had got their nose level with the stern of the Johnians. All was now again in trim in the Johnian boat, as the yoke- fines were fortunately fastened together in front of the cox- swain, and they managed to cross their pursuers, and get round the first corner a foot or two in advance. Between here and Grassy the pice was terrific; at the latter corner the Second Trinity overlapped the Lady Margaret by about three feet, and all thought that the bump must be made, but'the crew of the latter managed, by dint of exertions which could only have been prompted by desperation, to clear their bows by about an inch. From this point to Ditton they gained steadily, whilst their Sash was causinggreat confusion among their pursuers. Round itton Corner several of the port oars of the latter were un- shipped by the wash of the Johnian boat, and by the time they were straight round the corner First Trinity, who had been gaining rapidly since rounding Grassy, ran into them. When we consider the difficulties under which the Second Trinity men laboured, owing to the heavy wash of the Johnian'boat, their row- ing deserves the greatest credit, and the display of pluck in both Doats was unexampled. The Ancient Mariners are a club re- stricted to M. A.' s aud Fellows, of colleges, who row under the appropriate motto qt'" Seniores Priores." However, inasmuch as it has been spoken of as a great advantage to young oarsmen to see in working order'the anoient models of rowing, it will be aeeti by. the accompanying lists that they are very properly kept | n a position where most of the young oarsmen can see them while they are rowing, without looking behind them. We sub- join the names c of the LADY MARGARET. CREW, st lb CANINE FANCY.

Mr Montague Shearman was chosen vice- president, and the trea- surers, Messrs Ireland aud Virtue, were re- elected. The chair- man announced that he had determined upon retiring from the position of cap tain to the club, as he was quite sure his services ebuld be more beneficially given as joint secretary with his brother, whose duties had become very considerable, and he proposed Mr James Paine as captain for the present year.

The ringers were— Alfred White treble, Jas. Newman 2, Noble White 3, Frederick White 4, Geo. Stockham 5, Richard Pitman 6. Henrv White 7, Wm. White tenor. Conducted by Mr G. Stockham of London. so full as ' in days of yore. Me was very confident, and there cannot be a doubt that, within himself, he felt certain of win- ning. Tyler, in weight, was about 9st 101b, and, barring the fact that he was a little fleshy, he was all the most critical of judges could wish him; while he was quite as confident as his oppo- nent. He was the favourite at 6 to 4. Just before the com- batants were ready to be conducted to the scratch there was a heavy fall of snow and sleet, which, however, soon passed over. Jemmy Welsh and George Crockett were retained to act as counsel" for Hazeltine, While Dan Collins and Harry Bruntou appeared for Bos » THE FIGHT.; Round 1. Immediately the seconds had retired they put themselves into position with all the grace and freedom of action that belongs to those who either iu the field academy have been accustomed to the use of their mawleys. BOs, with a smile on his physiognomy, after taking the measure of his opponent, began to manoeuvre, aud two or three times put out the left as - a feeler, but Hazeltiue was not to be drawn, for he broke ground and retreated, and nothing approaching a smile was seen on his countenance. After shifting their position they again got within distance, when Tyler dashed out the left, which was partly stopped. Again Tyler, after making two or three feints, worked his way well in, and administered the left on the top of the head. Hazeltine, in re turning the compliment, paid a visit on the side of Tyler's erar ilium with the left, and repeated it with a little one on the mouth. In a rally they closed at the ropes, and both went down, Bos being the first to salute the earth. First blood was claimed for Hazeltiue, and there was certainly just a little of the " crimson" to be perceived from Bos's kissing- trap 2. Hazeltine made au attempt to get home with the left, but was out of distance, and as he dashed at his opponent Bos re- treated. Tyler, after getting well iu, let fly with the left, but did not do any execution, as Hazeltine neatly stopped him. In a second trial Bos was more successful, and delivered a fine one, two, on the left cheek, and got well away. As Bos retreated he was pursued by Jack, when Tyler slipped and fell. 3. Bos, with the left, made a pretty call on Jack's dial, and got away without a return. After a pause they again went to work, when Tyler dashed the left once more on the nob, but in the counters received a little oue from Hazeltine's right on the side of the knowledge box. As Tyler broke away Jack followed, and after nailing a little- un on the mouth as he rushed iu he went down. 4. Hazeltine attempted to administer a spank with the left, but Bos, seeing the lunge coming, broke ground, got out of danger, and stood grinning at his opponent. After some clever manoeuvring Bos got well within distance, and planted the left on the top of the nut, and followed it up with another from the same mawley on the chetk. As Bos retreated Hazeltiue fol- lowed, and this brought them again together, when some sharp counters ensued. Bos, with the left, delivered full on his anta- gonist's head, when Hazeltine, who did not appear to have any " powder" in his hitting, got on with both mawleys on the brain canister. A close; and after some fibbing both went down, Bos being under. 5. Tyler let fly with his left, but was stopped. Bos, in a se- cond attempt, delivered full on the cheek, and got away without a return. Hazeltine followed to keep within distance, when, iu the exchanges, Bos got the left home with good effect, Hazel- tine forced his way in for a close, when Bos went down. 6. Tyler came smiling from' his comer, aud, after a little sparring gave a half spring, and planted the left with stinging force ou the top of the nob. Hazeltine, in return, countered with the left, getting well home on the tater trap. Bos broke away, but Jack followed, when Bos, who is extremely agile in his movements, delivered a flush hit on the mouth; and Hazel- tine fell. 7. After a little sparring Hazeltine took the lead, but was not within the mark. Bos, in the manoeuvring, was followed by Jack, until they came to a pause near the ropes, when Tyler de- livered the left in pretty style over the left peeper, and again re- peated the dose with the right on the face. Hazeltine, in the exchanges, administered the left two or three times ou the head ; but still these blows did not appear to have any steam in them, for they did not make the least impression. This brought the belligerents to a close, when, after a struggle for the fall, both went down. 8. Hazeltine got home with the left, and then, as Tyler re- treated, dashed after him; when Bos delivered the left and right on the dial. Hazeltine, aftei hitting out with both maw- leys, wanted to close ; but Tyler got cleverly away, and, as Jack followed, delivered a rattier with the left on the cheek. In a rally they fought to the middle, of the ring, when Bos, to avoid the close, slipped and went down. 9. Bos, with a quick delivery, got the left on the jaw, and was away from his adversary's returns. After some exchanges, in which Hazletiue did not appear to do any execution, thej rallied to the ropes, when a struggle ensued for the fall. Bos tried to give his opponent the back heel, but without effect, aud both went down in a harmless manner. 10. Jack made a lunge with the left, but the intended compli- ment was not effective. A pause, broken by Bos, who planted a clipping hit with the left on the cheek. In repeating the dose Hazeltine stopped in good style, and, as Bos retreated, Jack followed in a very impetuous manner. Tyler was now worked up in a corner, when, after popping the left full on the mouth, he went dowu on his knees. [ There was a cry of " foul" from some parts of the ring, but the seconds did not think it worth while to trouble the referee.] 11. Bos delivered the left oil the breast, leaving his mark ; Hazeltine, in return, hit out with both mawleys, and as Tyler retreated he just misssed receiving a half round hit with the right. In again getting to work, Bos planted the left on Jack's daylight, when Hazeltiue rushed in for a close, and, after a struggle, both went down, Bos, as they were falling, contriving to put in another smeller with the left. 12. Tyler had no sooner been met by his opponent than he dashed out the left ou the cheek, and instantly repeated the dose with a thwack on the top of the head. In a rally, Hazeltiue fought his adversary to the rcpes, when they closed. Bos got cleverly out of danger, and went down. 13. Bos was the first to respond to the call of " Time," aud on Hazeltiue coming from his corner, he began to display the effects of his adversary's ability, for his left peeper was in a suit of mourning, while it was apparent that he had also received much punishment on the other parLs of hi3 os frontu. Bos, after an ineffectual attempt, delivered a sharp spank on the cheek, when Jack rushed m for a close, and in some wild ex- changes planted the left on the sido of the pepper castor. Bos now broke ground, but Jack followed impetuously, and when near the ropes slipped and fell, Tyler again putting in the left as his opponent weut down. 14. Bos administered the left on the jaw, but in the counters received a tidy hit from Jack's right on the side of the head. In a rally . they got to the ropes, when Tyler slipped and went down. 15. Tyler let fly with the left, and got well ou Hazeltine's cheek, and retreated. Jack determined to force the lighting, followed, and in some good exchanges both got well home, Tyler delivering the left on the top of the cranium, while Jack put in a tidy one on the face. Bos now slipped, and went down iu the centre of the ring, when Hazeltine, to prevent himself from falling on his man, put his arms out, and fell on his hands. 16. Tyler delivered the left on the cheek, stopping Hazeltine's return. Jack went in, and in a spirited rally they fought to the ropes, when Hazeltine, after receiving two or three spanks Irom the left and right on the head, broke from his man, aud in going down fell with his back against the stakes. 17. Bos hit short with the left, but in repeating the attempt he planted three times in succession on the dial without a return. Hazel tine, as his man broke from him, dashed in for a close, when he got his opponent's nob in the crook, and in this position they fell. 18. With the left Tyler again delivered a sharp spank ou the jaw. Hazeltine, after some exchanges, fought his man to the ropes, when they closed, and in the struggle Jack put on, the. hug, from which Bos extricated himself in a moment, and gave his man the back heel, and fell on him. 19. Tyler planted the left on the top of the brainpan without a return. Jack followed up to force the fighting, when, in the counter hitting, Bos again did execution with his left on the cheek. Hazeltiue in the. ie exchanges planted the right on the side of the head, but the blow'made no impression. As Hazel- tine was rushing in to close he slipped and fell, but on the instant recovered his equilibrium. Bos smiled, wanted to renew the round, but Jack's seconds would not allow it. 20. This was a merry well" fought round. Tyler, in com- mencing the attack, delivered a flush hit on the dial. Jack, for a moment, seemed to be a little bothered, but as Bos retreated he cl& shed at him, and in the counters both got home in good style, Tyler, hefwever, having the best of it, for he. administered his ever busy left three times with telling force on the nob, causing the " ruby " to iiow from a cutover Jack's left daylight, la a close, they struggled for the fall, when both went down. 21. Bos again planted a tell- tale on the left peeper, and then retreated. After a pause they again went to work, when Jack got home a litUe- un with the left. In a wildish rally Hazeltiue made a slip and fell. 1 22. Bos, with considerable rapidity, got on his ppponeut's left 23. Bos planted the left on the cheek, when Hazeltine fought his way to a close, and, after a struggle, Bos went down in the centre of the ring, and, while on the ground, his opponent, who appeared to have lost his temper, deliberately kicked him in the mouth. [ An appeal of " foul " was made to the referee, but this functionary told them to fight on, adding that although he be- lieved Hazeltine to have acted extremely unfair, he did not himself see what transpired at the finish of the round.] 24. Bos administered the left with telling force on the nob, when Hazeltine immediately dashed in and closed with his op- ponent, and in the struggle they both went down Jack, being under. 25. In tSe exchanges, which were all in favour of Tyler, he planted two or three smart hits on the head, and then closed with his opponent, when, after a struggle, both went down. 26. Tyler delivered another nutcracker on the jaw. As he broke ground Jack followed up to force the fighting, and in the counter hiting got home on the side of the head. Bos, as Hazel- tine dashed in, slipped and fell in the middle of the ring. 27. Bos administered a rattling spank 011 the nut, but in return received a slight counter from his opponent. In a rally they closed, and, after a struggle, both weut to grass. 28. Tyler was the first to leave his corner, and on being met by his opponent, he opened the ball with a shot from his left, and then broke ground. Hazeltiue followed, and in a rally missed a lunging hit with the right, when Bos went down. 29. Bos with the left again got home on the cheek in a bustling rally, in which not much execution was done; they got to the ropes, when Hazeltine slipped and went down. 30. Hazeltine changed his tactics, and took the lead, getting home slightly with the left. Bos, after weaving himself within distance, let fly with both mawleys, planting the left 011 the cheek, and the right on the side of the knowledge- box. As Tyler retreated, Hazeltine followed up and closed, when, after a little half- arm fighting in favour of Bos, they went down. 31. After an exchange of compliments, Bos retreated, when Jack forced the fighting to the ropes, and then went down. 32. This was a well- fought round. After some spirited ex- changes, decidedly in favour of Tyler, who, in a| rally, just missed a fine upper cut, the men got to a close, when Bos, on extricating himself from his opponent's embraee, went down. 33. Bos, after being once out of distance, delivered a fine spank with the left on Hazeltine's nasal prominence. Hazeltiue dashed in, and after some exchanges at the ropes, Bos went do WH. 34. In the exchanges both men got home, Tyler, however, in the most effective style. As Bos broke away Hazeltiue followed, when his opponent, after slipping in another " sweetener" with the left, went down to avoid the close. 35. Tyler planted the left full on the dial, and in a rally they got to the ropes. Bos, to avoid the close, weut down, and while in the act of falling Jack delivered the right slightly on the nob. 36. In the counters Hazeltine got on Bos's defective peeper, and slightly cut it, when Tyler went down; but as a proof of how ineffective was Jack's hitting, it may here be stated that this was the only mark of punishment visible on Tyler's phiz after the fight was over. 37. Bos came from his corner with a plaister on his peeper, and after some harmless exchanges they closed, and went down. 38. Tyler popped the left 011 the cheek and got well away from Hazeltine's returns, who in following his antagonist slipped aud fell, Bos, as Jack was falling, getting home another spank on the nob with the right. 39. Bos planted the left and right well on the head, when Hazeltiue slipped aud fell on his knees. 40. Hazeltine, 011 dashing at his opponent, slipped and fell on his knees, when Bos, with a smile 011 his countenance, pushed him gently down. Having thus far gone into the details of the contest, it will only be now necessary for us to state, and that in as few words as possible, the manner in which it terminated. From the com- mencement Hazeltiue never had the remotest chanee of victory, for he was opposed to a man so much his superior in tactics, that he was out- fought and out- generalled at every move on the board; aud we are confident that he felt this from the outset, and, as the battle progressed, gradually lost confidence. That he wished the tourney over some time before the termination we do not hesitate to say, and we fully believe it was this that caused him in the last round to act in the manner he did. In the whole 60 rounds were fought, aud in the last of these Hazel- tine, who had his opponent down in his own corner, deliberately struck his leg out and kicked him. The referee was at once applied to, and very properly admitted the claim to be a just one, whereupon Tyler was hailed the winner, the battle having occupied one hour and fifty- five minutes. REMARKS. This, we are certain, will be the very last appearance of Hazeltine within the ropes; for those who witnessed his per- formance will, we are confident, admit that whatever preten- sions he at one period possessed to fistic skill, all the fighting is now completely out of him. That he never fought worse was acknowledged by his warmest admirers, for lie not Only re- peatedly hit open- handed, but also appeared to lack both judg- ment and precision. His friends attempt to make some excuse for him in consequence of having been so long laid up in lavender since his last contest, and although porhaps there is in this re spect some little allowance to be made, still that would not account for the difference observable, or make him hit, as he repeatedly did, open- handed. Hazeltine does not leave the Ring altogether in an honourable manner; for there can be no excuse made for a man who so palpably infringes the rules of the P. R. as he did. Knowing this would be his last appearance in the Ring, we are indeed surprised he did not wish to leave it without a stigma on his character, so that, although a loser, the battle should in all respects be honourable to himself. Of Tyler we only need say that he fought with remarkable fairness, and is one of those clever boxers, that it will require a good man, aad one up to a move or two, to lick. All being over, the return journey was expeditiously performed, the metropolis being reached by half- past eight o'clock in the evening. The battle money is to be given to Tyler on Thursday next, at Mr Lock's, Mulberry Tree, Fleet- street, Hare- street, Bethnal- green. Mr Jones's, Duke's Head, Vine- street, Hatton- wall.

Moore proved himself a game bit of stuff, but he could not stand against the superior tactics of his opponent. In the last round he was thrown into a dyke, from which he was extricated with some difficulty, and had a narrow escape from drowning. He wished to continue the encounter, but his friends would not per- mit it, and Ray was proclaimed the victor.

Brettle well knows that I will fight any man in the world at lost 4lb, for £ 100 a side ; and I think it would be much more becoming of him were he to cease this useless nonsense and proceed to busi- ness. Once for all, if the Birmingham hero is not afraid of dimaging his beautiful phiz in an encounter with a man who will give him a day's work, both he and his Novice can be accommodated at lOst 3lb or 5lb, for £ 100 a side each— master first, and his man two or three months after; Bell's Life to be stakeholder, and appoint a referee on the ground. Upon these and 110 other terms will I consent to appear again within the P. R.

A feat of a somewhat novel character was undertaken at Ox- ford, 011 Wednesday last, by Messrs Measham and Awdrey, to • un round Christ Church meadow ( a distance of one mile md a quarter), twenty times in * succession without stop- ping. The difficult task was commenced by both gentle, men with full confidence of success; the hopes, however, wrestle any one in Birmingham, for love or money.

BELL INN, BKEDHURST, NEAR MAIDSTONE.— The great match of pigeon shooting that was advertised to come off on W ednesday last brought together a large number of spectators. The match was reported to be for £ 100 a side, at 50 birds each, between a gentleman of Kent and a gentleman of London, but the latter did not put in an appearance, consequently the match ended in smoke.

Mr Measham is knqjwn from his former pedes- trian exploits at Marlborough College, and latterly as the suc- cessful competitor in several of the recent Exeter College sports. We understand that Mr Awdrey was not in training, nor could Mr Measham be said to be in proper- training for so arduous a task, although he is understood to be always in condition. • PEBESTRIANISM AT ETON COLLEGE, On Thursday afternoon last the " Lower Remove" Steeple Chase took place. The course Was part of the old Upton Course, but of course shortened, the distance; being two miles and a half over some stiffish fences and brooks,; the commencement being near Datchett, and the finish the ?

There were various alterations throughout the chase, but at the finish the following were thus placed :— Rhoades lst, Goslin ma 2d, Garnet ma 3d, Stanley 4th, Clifford 5th, Ricardo 6th, and Chamberlain 7th.

The betting commenced at 5 to 4 011 Peel, and eventually left off at 6 to 4 on him, with few takers. After dodging for the start for half an hour, the time specified in the articles, a pistol was brought, and they got away at the first attempt, Lockwood, if auytbing, getting a little advantage; but, unfortunately for him, he stumbled, aud Peel at once went in advance, was never caught, and ran in an easy winner by nearly three yards, MR JOHN SANDERSON'S HANDICAP RACE.— This, the great event of the day, was a handicap race of once rfound the ground and 100 yards, or ( 606 yards) for money prizes, amounting to £ 19 15s, given by Mr J.

SATURDAY, MABCH 7.— Considering that there were counter- attractions this afternoon at other places, the attendance was ; larger than we expected, upwards of 800 spectators being present. The event of the day lay between ROBEETS AND BOOTH.— Edward Roberts ( alias the Welshman) is, as we have often had occasion to report, a resident of Wortley, Yorkshire, and his opponent, John Booth, who for some time past has given promise of becoming an adept in his adopted pro- • v' fession, dates from Newton Heath, near Manchester, and conse- quently the contest under notice was expected to preve an ex- cellent one. The conditions were that they should run 150 yards, I for £ 25 a side, Mr J. Holden to officiate as referee. The betting, ; which, for a short period ruled at 6 to 4 on Booth, eventually became 2 to 1 on him. After a brief interval the men got off together, and ran side by side for about 100 yards. HereRo- berts gained the f * ont position, gradually increased his advan- , tage. and succeeded in winning the race by a yard and a half, a « iid the plaudits of the takers of the odds. 1- Subsequently, during the afternoon, a handicap foot race came off, distance 130 yards, in which 33 aspirants took part. The re- sult was as follows:— Thos. Tawley of Manchester gained the first prize of £ 1 10s, Leary of the same city being second, and • Johnson third. MONDAY.— Upwards of 900 persons were present to- day, and the subjoined was the only event whieh came off:— HARD MAN AND BARBER.— Joseph ( alias Cock) Hardman of Radcliffe has gained many victories iu the pedestrian arena, whilst George Barber of Glossop, though less known, has ex- hibited on previous occasions qualifications of no mean order, and these men met this afternoon to contest the distance of 200 yards, for £ 25 each. The betting opened at 6 to 5 on Barber, but prior to starting it veered to 7 to 4 on Hardman. The men ' had agreed to go by a pistol, and, on the signal being given, the left the mark on equal terms, but Barber soon began to gain upon his opponent, and when 40 paces had been traversed, he was a yard ahead. Hardman here, however, set to work in earnest, caught Barber in a few strides, passed him, and was not again headed, the " Village Cock" winning easily by four yards. INGHAM AND POMFRET.— John Ingham of Rochdale, and John Pomfret of Blackburn, have now deposited in Mr Hol- den's hands £ 10 each, for their race of 170 yards, for £ 25 a side, which is to come off on the 4th April, at the Salford Bo- rough Gardens.

NICHOLLS AND REED.— These Birmingham men met on Mon- day near the Halfway House on the Lichfield- road, five miles from Birmingham, to i% n their seven score yards match, Reed staking £ 10 to Nicholls's £ 8. At the latter end of January the same men ran a six score yards match for £ 5 a side, whieh, after a well contested race, ended by Reed running in a winner by half a yard. A fresh match was at once made, Nicholl' ' s friend's not being satisfied, and as the weather on Monday last was fine, there was a pretty good sprinkling present. The men had actively trained for the event, and when stripped at scratch looked in first- rate trim. Betting was in favour of Nicliolls ( who is the taller by two inches), at 5 and 6 to 4. After dodging for the start for full 40 minutes and no go, the men agreed to start by first pull of handkerchief, when a level start was effected, both men running neck and neck up to five score, when Nicholls took the lead for the next thirty yards, closely followed by Reed, who, when within a few yards of home, rushed past his opponent and landed himself a winner by a quarter of a yard. ROWLEY AND MOON.— These men have made their money, £ 5 a side, good to the stakeholder ( S. Coates), for their six score yards race, which comes off to- morrow at Aston Cross Grounds, the men to be at scratch at two o'clock, the man not then pre- pared to run to lose the money.

Diamond of London undertook to. walk seven and a half miles in one hour. The day was very unpropitious for the affair, the wind being very strong and ' keen, and it snowing at intervals. However Diamond appeared at the scratch at ten minutes to four, starting at an extraordinary pace, which he fully main- tained for the first mile, completing it in 7min 20sec; second mile, 7miu 56sec; third, 8min lOsec ; fourth, 8min; fifth, Srnin 12sec; sixth, 8miri 2sec; seventh, 8min 10sec; and the half mile to run 20 miles ; and. in the second place, it would be still more difficult to get them to put down £ 20 each, and agree to the first man winning the entire. If Cummins means running, Leegs will run him one mile level, for £ 25 a side, or take one minute's start in 10 miles, or two minutes in 20, for £ 25 a side, or as much more as he likes.

Yorkshire, will run Ralph Wheat- ley ( the Oyster lad), 120 yards, or T. Simpson ef Hemlington- row 100 yaods, for £ 25 a side; or he will run any man in the county of Durham 600 yards, for the same sum ; or John Brun- ton of Hunwick his own distance, for his own sum.

THE TYNE STEAMER— This steamship, which, it will be remembered, was stranded on the rocky shore off St Alban's Head, on her return voyage from the Brazils, early on the morning of the 13th of January last, has at last been rescued from her state of btndage, and is now once more safely berthed in Southampton Docks. The attempts to float her have been renewed each successive spring tide, but all in vain till Thurs- day morning, when a heavy westerly swell set in, and about a quarter past seven o'clock, at the top of the tide, she was found to be afloat. All the necessary preparations having previously been made, the hull was immediately taken iu tow by three powerful steam tugs, which started with her for Southampton. Telegraphic messages were forwarded, announcing the fact, and subsequently that she had passed the Hurst, and the news was soon in general circulation. The consequence was, that when the vessels arrived, about three o'clock, there were several hun- dreds of people congregated in the docks. The Tyne was towed up the river by three tugs closely attached to the hull. As she came up the river the Australian Company's steamer Jura, just departing on her voyage out, passed her, and fired a couple of guns as a complimentary salute. The whole of the steamships in dock also hoisted their colours. A couple of small engines were engaged on deck in pumping the water out of the hull, which flowed out by the side of the paddlewheel in a small cataract. She was towed direct into the dock, and berthed under the shears, and will be taken into graving dock in a day or two. She looked a mere shell, nothing but her lower masts being left standing, everything moveable having been taken out to lighten her. Captain Vincent hopes to get her ready for sea again in about six months. GREAT LOSS OF CATTLE.— The steamer Countess of Lonsdale, which arrived at St Katherine's Wharf on Tuesday afternoon from Hamburg, reports having experienced a most terrific pas- sage. About an hour before daybreak on Monday morning she was struck by a sea, which carried away the port paddle- box, and swept overboard 208 sheep, 35 oxen, and 5 horses. MURDER BY A LUNATIC.— At Aylesbury, on Tuesday, Maria Isabella Becket, aged 66, was indicted for the wilful murder of Jane Bowden, on the 30th of December last. The prisoner is a respectable- looking old lady, who at ttie time of the occurrence was lodging at Wing with her son- in- law, Mr Bowden. Near to their house lived Mrs Becket, the wife of the prisoner's son, and it appeared that on the 30th of December the old lady paid the latter a morning call. Mrs Becket welcomed her relative warmly, saying, " On, mother, you have not been here since the alterations." To this the prisoner, whose eyes glared wildly, replied with a sad and solemn voice, " Yes, I am come, but not oil a pleasant errand, for I am come to kill you. I must do it, for I am mad," and muttered something about her having been sent by the devil, who had given her a razor; at the same time she produced a razor from her pocket, and seized Mrs Becket's arm. A scream and struggle ensued, during which the old lady said, " Oh, I must do it;" but a second scream summoned to the aid of Mrs Becket, who was far advanced in pregnancy, a neighbour, and by his assistance the maniac was subdued and apparently pacified. After a while she said she was better, and went away, saying she could go alone. On her return home she found the deceased, a child only ten weeks old, sleeping in a cradle, rocked by an elder sister five years old. Mrs Bow- den was upstairs, and immediately after the return of the pri- soner she heard a shriek from the girl, and on rushing down discovered to her horror the old lady, with the babe on her lap, deliberately engaged in the act of cutting its throat with a knife. The injuries thus inflicted on the child caused its death in a lew minutes, When taxed with the murder the old lady said, " I was forced to kill the baby in order that it might go to heaven." — The jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.— At York, on Tuesday, an action was brought by a young woman, named Adams, against a Mr Longbottom, to recover damages for breach of promise. The plaintiff, a young woman 23 years of age, was one of a large family, and carried on the business of a dressmaker in the neighbourhood of Leeds. The defendant was a young man, son of a person who was said to have made money as a railway contractor' and the defendant himself was engaged in collieries. The parties appeared to have become acquainted two or three years ago, and the promise to marry was clearly to be inferred from several letters of the defendant, abounding in the most fervent, amatory expressions, and aspirations of a lover.— A brother of the plaintiff was called as a witness, and spoke to the visits of the defendant to the plaintiff, and to his being received by her family as an accepted suitor. Suddenly his visits for some cause or other ceased, and he refused to perform his en gagement, although he declared that he had no complaint what- ever to make as to the plaintiff's conduct.— On behalf of the de- fendant, Mr Jones urged that this was the case of two young persons, after a short courtship, quarrelling, and finding that their tempers did not harmonise. Under such circumstances it was perhaps best for both parties that matters had not gone further.— The learned judge, in summing up, observed that, the promise on the part of the defendant having been proved, the plaintiff was best able herself to determine whether the performance of it, would be to her advantage, The jury, taking all the facts into their consideration, would give such temperate damages as they thought just.— After a short consultation the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— £ 250. ATTEMPTING TO PROCURE A MISCARRIAGE. — At Ayles- bury, on Wednesday, Philip White, aijed forty- five, a bill against whom for murdering Mary White, his wife, was thrown out by the grand jury, was arraigned OH another eharge of an almost equally atrocious character— that, namely, of administering a noxious drug called hiera picra to Ann Sea- ward, on the 3a and 7th of December last, with intent to pro- cure a miscarriage. As this charge arose out of the inquiry into the cause of Mary White's death, and but for that would, in all human probability, never have been brought to light, it may be desirable that the whole history of the prisoner should be dis- closed. It appears that Philip White, who was a shoemaker by trade, lived in Chesham, where, having married in early life, he brought up a large family. Unfortunately his wife died, and, at the invitation of his eldest daughter, Ann'Seaward, a girl of twenty, was induced to take up her residence in his house, in order that she might discharge the household duties in the in- tervals of her attendance at tne silk mill in the town. This took place about 16 months back, and in a very short time after the Erisoner seduced his housekeeper. Indeed, report said that he ad made improper attempts on the honour of his own child. Be that as it may, he succeeded but too well with the prosecu- trix, and continued his connection until he took a second wife at Whitsuntide, 1856, the woman selected for that honour being the mother of three illegitimate children by other men, the youngest being a mere infant and out at nurse, all which facts were well known to the prisoner, who undertook to support this burden. He seems, however, as might well be expected, to have grown tired of this charge and of his poor wife also, for he was often heard to wish himself unmarried, and as he was a year ago. About October or November last his wife went out to nurse at Chesham Beis Common, in order to gain the means of supporting her child; and during her absence the prisoner induced Ann Seaward, with whom he had not ceased to carry on his illicit intercourse, and even with the knowledge of his wife, to come again and take care of things. During this visit the wife used to come home on Sundays and once in the week; and on the 3d of December, being at home, she bought a quantity of arsenic mixed with soot, alleging that she wanted it to poison mice. What became of that poison is not known, ex- cept by inference; no trace of the packet or of its contents was ever discovered; and it was clear that Mrs White that day re- turned to the common, where she remained till the 14th of De- cember, when her husband came and fetched her home, saying he could not get on without her, Ann Seaward's attendance being uncertain, and her presence not always pleasurable. The pri- soner evinced feelings of jealousy, and about this time he asked Ann Seaward to marry him, saying that his wife had told him she should shortly die. When his wife came home she was suf- fering from erysipelas in her face, and after a few days growing worse she took to her bed, and ultimately expired on the 28th of December. The absenco of any doctor till the last moment, when the poor woman's mother called in one, and some suspicious symptoms which gradually became known, led to a coroner's inquest. Previous to this the prisoner had stated confidentially to his sister and a woman named Mitchell that his wife had been accustomed to take arsenic, in order to procure a miscarriage, and when the coroner ordered a post mortem ex- amination the prisoner frantically rushed out of the room and threatened to blow out his brains, saying he knew they would find arsenic, as his wife used to take it for the cause above stated, and that they would bring it in manslaughter. During the in- quest Ann Seaward was an important witness, and in the course of her evidence detailing her intimacy with the prisoner and at- tendance on his wife during her last illness, she stated that, having informed the prisoner of her apprehension that she was iu the familyway by hina, he said he could give her something to " set her right," and on the following day, December 3, he gave her 3d, with directions to buy ioz of what he termed " hicra picra." The girl obeyed his directions, and having procured the drug ( which was stated to be in common use among women as a cordial aperient, a dose being about 10 grains) placed it in the hands of the prisoner, who mixed a portion of it in gin and some- thing else, and gave it to her to drink, saying that it would make her poorly and sick, but would set her right. The coroner's jury having returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the prisoner, the present charge was also gone into, and ho was committed to take his trial on both ; but, as has been already stated, the grand jury ignored the bill for the capital offence.— On the other charge evidence was now given which brought the case clearly home to the prisoner, who was convicted and sentenced to transportation for life. In the course of the case Ann Seaward stated that, though she believed herself to have been in the familyway when she took the drug, she was now satisfied that she never had been in that situation. A CAPTURED GAROTTER.— At York, on Wednesday, John Sylvester was indicted for assaulting Benjamin Styring at Sheffield on the 10th of Decen. ber last, with intent te rob him. It appeared that on the night in question the prosecutor, who is a razor- grinder in Sheffield, was returning home shortly after eleven o'clock, when he was accosted by two men, one of whom was the prisoner. Being afraid of garotters, the prose- cutor feigned to be drunk. The prisoner then said to him, " I reckon thou's had a rare good bull week" ( the name by which the week before Christmas goes, when the workmen work night and day to earn as much as they can). The prosecutor said he had worked very hard, but had not earned as much money as he could wish. The prisoner then put his arm round his neck and said, " Thou can hardly walk, old lad; we will tak thee home." The prosecutor said he could take himself home, and to get rid of them said he lived a long way off in tha country. Ifter some more similar talk the prosecutor said if they would go with him along Orchard- street he would pay for some of the best beer in Sheffield for them. On arriving at the archway of the passage where he lived he told them he had a friend lived up there, and would fetch him, and they would have a glass together; and he then turned sharply up the passage, hoping to get away from them into his own house. The prisoner, however, imme- diately seized hold of him from behind, threw his arm round his throat, and, putting his knee in his back, said to the man with him, " Now Joe, do thy work ; I have him." The other man directly felt at the prosecutor's pockets. The prosecutor strug- gled violently, and at last got face to face with the prisoner and threw him, both falling ; and he than called for help to his wife as loud as he could, " Lucy, Lucy, help me !" His wife shortly came running out of his house and seized hold of the prisoner, who was still on the ground. As soon as the prosecutor saw his wife had hold of the man he said to her, " Stick to him, lass ; he's been garotting me ;" and shesaid," All right, I have him." [ laughter]. The other man attempted to pull his wife away, and kept running and stopping as if ne did not know what to do. The prisoner, on finding himself held fast by. the prosecutor and his wife, said, " Have I robbed thee; hast thou lost anything ?" Other persons then came up, and the prisoner was handed over to the custody of the police, and became very " okerd" and " obstropolous" going to the station. Lucy Styring, the prosecutor's wife, a good- looking, energetic young woman, confirmed this statement. She said at the time in question she fancied she heard a faint voice calling on her for help. It was so faint she did not know the voice, but she lis tened and then heard a cry of " Lucy, help me, help me!" She ran down the yard and saw two men wrestling on the ground to- gether, one of whom was her husband and the other the prisoner. She seized hold of the prisoner, who said, " Leave hold; what have I done?" and kicked her on the shins, while another man pulled her back by the hair. Her husband then told her " to stick to him, lass," and she kept tighter hold. Her husband had had a little to drink, but was sober. The prisoner said he was going home from his work, and had been drinking: the prosecutor invited him to drink with him, and they fell as they were going ; and denied all intention of robbing the prosecutor. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SINGULAR ACTION.— On Saturday week, at the Chelmsford Assizes, was heard a case of the Queen v Cutts.— This was an indictment under the Bishop of Oxford's Act for the Protection of Young Women, charging the defendants with having procured the defilement of a girl, nineteen years of age, named Martha Augusta Hills; and the defendant Cutts, who is an attorney, was charged with having made an illegal agreement that the said Martha Hills should co- habit with the other defendant, Smith, for a period of eight months; and that at the expiration of that time he should marry her— the cohabitation being the condition upon which the promise of marriage should be fulfilled.— It was stated that Miss Martha Hills was now residing with Mr Smith, having had one child by him. That she was very near her confinement, and was unable to attend the court. That her evidence was indispensable to the hearing of this case, and it was, therefore, requested that the cause might be allowed to stand over until she was sufficiently recovered to be able to at- tend. The postponement of the cause was opposed on behalf of Mr Smith, on the ground that the evidence of Miss Hills could be of no use whatever. She was residing, of her own free will, at Mr Smith's house, and had not in any manner sanctioned th< se proceedings, which were, in fact, instituted by the solicitor of Mr Hills, the lady's father. It was altogether a solicitor's action, and was commenced for the purpose of compelling Mr Smith to pay some very heavy law expenses for previous actions commenced against him by the same party.— The learned judge directed that the trialshould be postponed, and that the prose- cutors should pay the expenses of the postponement. A CANINE INSOLVENT.— In the Insolvent Debtors Court on Wednesday, Johm Sabin, who had been a dog- fancier in St Giles's, was opposed by Mr Dowse, on . the part of Edward Riseam, his detaining creditor, a tailor and dog- fancier at Shoreditch. Mr Reed supported. The complaint was that the insolvent had become indebted by malice to the opposing cre- ditor, who had brought an action of false imprisonment against the insolvent. In September, the insolvent alleged that a dog of King Charles's breed, which Riseam had possessed belonged to him, and gave Riseam into custody. He was locked up all night, and the charge was dismissed by the magistrate, as he satisfactorily proved it belonged to hitn. All compensation was refused, and an action brought by Mr Charles Vallancey Lewis for false imprisonment, and a few days afterwards the insolvent brought an action of trover to recover the animal. The action of Riseam was tried first, and several witnesses were called on both sides. The dog was exhibited before the jury, and a verdict was given for £ 20 damages, and tho costs were taxed at £ 56. The other action was discontinued, and the c- osts were £ 7 19s to the opposing creditor. The case was now heard at considerable length on the question, whether the insolvent had been actuated by " malice," in order to bring the case within the act of Parliament. Several witnesses were called. It was further complained that the insolvent had parted with his pro- perty, bijt the principal part was disposed of before the action. The Chief Commissioner was of opinion that the injury com- plained of was malicious, because the insolvent had given Riseam into custody without any reasonable or probable cause, and that in the eye ef the law constituted malice. His honour was of opinion that there had been a parting with property, with the view of depriving Riseam of any benefit from his claim. He gave a judgment of nine calendar months, at the suit of Riseam, for the damages awarded in the action for false imprisonment. BETTING ON HORSE RACES.— IMPORTANT CASE.— In the Westminster County Court, OH Wednesday, an action was brought by John Bright, described in the summons as a gentle- man, of No, 35, Great Portland- street, Portland- place, against^ THE DRAMA. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,— We have reason to believe thatt in consequence of an unforeseen " difficulty" with the renters of Drury- laae Theatre, Mr Gye's oompany will appear at the Lyceum during the approaching season. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— On Thursday night Mr Charles Keaa excelled all his former efforts in the cause of the legitimate drama by the revival of " King Richard II.," which was put upon the stage with a gorgeous magnificence which astonished even those who had witnessed all his former productions, and who accordingly weut to the theatre prepared to Witness some- thing extraordinary. In our columns it is impossible to give any lengthened criticism, but we may say such an attempt to bring back before the public the royal and aristocratic life of the baronial times has never been attempted on any stage. Every scene, every situation is newly conceived, and whenever an opportunity presents itself a picture of mediaeval existence is conjured upon the stage with a truthfulness of detail that no- imagination could realise. The " effect" that will be most talked about is an episode which is introduced between the third and fourth acts, and represents the procession of the triumphant Bolingbroke and the deposed Richard, as described in the cele- brated speech of the Duke of York to his duchess. Processions have often been seen before, but a true living picture of a popular demonstration, executed after the manner of this " episode" at the Princess's, is indeed a novelty. It seems a real mob— nay, a real people, that from road and window welcome - Bolingbroke, and become sullenly silent or brutally insolent on the entrance of Richard, so that it is hard to look and listen without being carried away by the mimic enthusiasm on the stage, and becom- ing for the nonce a partisan of the elder or younger branch of the Plantagenets. But this truly marvellous picture is only one among a series, vieing with each other in elaborate magnificence. The lists on Gosford Green, in which all the glittering pedantries of chivalry are gone through with the nicest accu- racy, convert the stage into the site of an actual trial by battle, with every appurtenance living and symbolic. The bedroom in. Ely House, with John of Gaunt on his deathbed, is a master- piece of scenic solemnity. A real interminable army seems to follow the standard of Bolingbroke through the wilds of Glou- cestershire, and it is in a genuine Westminster Ball, iu the pre- sence of spectators actually crowded in a spacious gallery, that poor King Richard formally abdicates. Never has there been so constant an attempt to give reality to the illusions of the stage. Every detail has been studied with a view to historic truth, and every act and every artifice has been employed to make the spectator forget that he is in Oxford- street, and fancy that he is in one or other of the olden edifices associated wita the sad story © f the second Richard. Mr Charles Kean was never seen to more advantage than when depicting the sorrows of the dethroned King; and Mrs Charles Kean, who played the little more than nominal character of the Queen, made it a vehicle for her finest acting, by the mere force of her own genius. A success has been attained tar greater than any amount of mere applause can express— that sort of success that at once stamps a production as a topic of the day, with which everyone is bouud to be familiar. Thunders of approbation, of course, greeted the manager and Mrs C. Kean as they crossed the stage after the performance. The house, it is needless to say, waa crammed. TOM BABKY, THE CLOWN.— This true son of Momus— this popular public favourite— this man of " infinite jest," now lies on a bed of sickness in an almost hopeless condition. In the true spirit of Christian benevolence, Mr Wm. Cooke has given him, on most advantageous terms, Astley's Amphitheatre for the occasion of his benefit, which takes, place on Wednesday, the 25th inst. We earnestly hope that " Poor Tom's" appeal to the esponse. THE MARKETS. Mr Peat, army saddler, ! No. 14, Old Bond- streat, to recover the ; sympathy of a generous public will meet with an overflowing sum of £ 50. The case occupied the attention of the court many hours, but the facts may be explained in a small circumference, as follows :— From plaintiff's statement, he had kept a book on horse- racing, and, in the year 1854, had some arrangements with defendant, with whom he blended bets; the result of that meet- ing being that defendant was indebted to him £ 16, on being made acquainted with which he borrowed a £ 5 note, making the total £ 21. He, in the year 1855, continued to take odds against horses in various races, at request of defendant, who always named the horses they should back, and ultimately defendant was indebted to him the amount he now sought to recover, which, being unable to obtain, he took these proceedings. The defendant positively denied ever having authorised plaintiff to bet with other persons for him, although he had at times betted with him solely, but he could not swear whether he was, in the long run, debtor or creditor ; if the latter, however, it must be for a very small amount. His honour having heard the whole of the evidence, expressed his opinion that only one item was due, such being the money lent by plaintiff to defendant at G ood wood, 1854.— Judgment for £ 5.

He refused at first, but on seeing five sovereigns staked by one of the prisoners, he put down five sovereigns, and made up £ 10. Hook of course won the toss, and the other prisoners were about to hand the money over to him, wheu he insisted on having his money back again, as he had seen enough to satisfy him that a " plant" had been made on him. The prisoners first gave him one severeign, and then three, j but he would not be content with less than all liis money, and he gave them into custody.— Mr Beacon said the complainant had acted in a very foolish manner iu drinking and betting with strangers.

M'iSfeill, G. C. B., & c, and Colonel Tulloch.— To the general voice of the British people, we the undersigned inhabitants of Birmingham desire to add our meed of gratitude and applause. You were despatched to the Crimea oil a mission of vi tal i tit ji or tance toyour country, of grave responsibility, and replete withdifficulty. You have performed that mission in a manner that sheds honour on your names, and deserves the acknowledgments of a grateful country. To have fearlessly exposed the deficiencies of our mili- tary system— to have honestly pointed out the needful remedies — to have discriminated between conflicting interests, without injustice, and without party feeling— to have ameliorated the condition of the British soldier, these are your well- earned tro- phies, the glory of which no inquiry can sully, and no neglect can diminish. We have not failed to observe the unworthy combinations by which the important intelligence resulting from your labours has been attempted to be neutralised, so as to screen incapacity and neglect from just censure, and perpetuate the cause of disasters which have obscured the hard- earned military glory of England, and needlessly destroyed the lives of thousands of her bravest sons. Be assured, gentlemen, that although honours have not been awarded to you, aud an un- worthy remuneration has been offered, you have won the grateful sympathy of your country, and the admiration and respect of all true Englishmen." SALE OF COBN BT WEIGHT.— As an illustration of the varia- tions in the practice of the sale of com in different parts of the kingdom, which is now exciting a good deal of interest in the midland counties, we may state that iia the markets of Birming- ham, Walsall, Shalford, Alcester, Worcester, Evesham, Kidder- minster, Bromsgrove, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Hereford, Led- bury, and generally throughout tbe counties^ f Warwick, Wor- cester, Gloucester, and Hereford, wheat is sold by the bushel of 601b or 62) b; while at Monmouth, Abergavenny, and Mon- mouthshire generally wheat is sold by the bushel of 801b ; at Nantwich, Shrewsbury, Market Drayton, and Wellington, of 75lb ; in Wolverhampton and Stafford, 751b to the bushel; in Manchester, English wheat by the bushel of 601b, and „ D American bv the bushel of 701b. At Liverpool, Bideford, and His lordship having summed up, the jury retired, am on their ! Torrington, wheat is sold by the bushel of 701b; at, Aberystwith, return found the prisoner Guilty. He was sentenced to be | by the bushel of 65lb; at Carmarthen and Haverfordwest, transported for 20 years, he haying been twice before transported. CHARGE OP MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A PHOTOGKAPHER.— Oil Saturday week an inquest was concluded on the body of Mrs Eliza Bunn, who died from the effect of injuries inflicted by Alexander Hammit Clark, an American photographist. It will be recollected that the deceased, with her son aud a Mrs Howe, proceeded to the residence of Clark to have the likeness of the child taken. They were told to call again, and when they returned for the portrait Clark declined to let them have it, as he found that it was imperfect. They wished to take it as it was, but he positively refused. They told him that they would not leave the room without the portrait, and subsequently a fight ensued, during which Clark struck the deceased on the head with a hammer, whereby she received a lacerated wound of the scalp. Clark was given into custody, and after undergoing an examination before Mr Yardley at the Thames police court, he was fined 20s„ which he paid. On the following Saturday the deceased was removed to the London Hospital in a state of insensibility from the effects of inflammation of the brain. She grew worse, and died on Monday, the 2d inst. Mr John Cawood Wordsworth, surgeon, of Finsbury- square, stated that he was called to the deceased on her admission. He found her suffering from fracture of the skull, and it was deemed necessary to per- form the operation of trephining. He removed two pieces of skull bone which were pressing upon the brain. The deceased never rallied, and died on Monday from the effects of the injuries de- scribed.— By the jury: The deceased's life might have been saved if she had received medical assistance at an earlier period after the wound was inflicted.— The Coroner: The operation of tre- phining relieves the patient, and it has been successful in several" cases. The fracture in the skull was no doubt inflicted with an instrument similar to the hammer produced by Police- sergeant Ball.— The two pieces of bone extracted from the de- ceased's head were here produced and examined by the coroner and jury.— Other evidence having been taken, the learned coro- ner remarked on the painful nature of the case, at the same time explaining the law of murder, and the minor offence of man- slaughter.— The jury, after a few observations, unanimously agreed to a verdict of Manslaughter against Alexander Hammit Clark."— The coroner then made out his warrant for the com- mittal of the accused to Newgate. ASSAULTS ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN.— The following is the number of convictions at the various police- courts of the metro- polis for aggravated assaults on women and children, in the year 1856— viz, at Bow- street, 15; at Clerkenwell, 59; at Greenwich, 25; at Woolwich, 23; at Hammersmith, 23; at Lambeth, 24; at Marlborougn- street; 27; at Marylebone, 11; at Southwark, 47 ; at Thames. 55; and at Westminster, 22.

She is fitted with cells for the confinement of offenders taken on the Thames, and has an increased number of constables. The old police station, formerly the Arctic discovery ship Investigator, has gone down to Woolwich to lie bruken up. THE HAIR OF CHILDREN.— Nothing can be more beautiful than the flowing, curly, and golden locks of children, when pro- perly attended to, and decidedly tbe best application is Row- land's Macassar Oil, which promotes beauty of appearance, and at the same time strengthens and nourishes the hair. The in- troduction of this universally esteemed oil into the nurseries of royalty and the aristocracy throughout Europe, is a satisfactory proof of the high estimation n which it is held.

Griffiths, Esq. TUESDAY, MARCH 10.— The bit of old- fashioned steeple racing provided to- day by the local hunts will not easily be for- gotten by the large and fashionable concourse that flocked from all parts of the county to witness it; and if the term " amateur" at all applied to certain biped performers engaged therein, " pro- fessionals" at once might relinquish the palm. Certainly, in a district stocked with some of the best hunting blood in the kingdom, we had looked for a show of competitors quite up to the mark of previous years ; but, apart from this, the sport, limited as it was, need not have been more interesting, clever, and decidedly pristine, or its enjoyment better assisted by glorious sunshine and mildness. When established in 1855, the events were decided at Birdlip, and on the next occasion over a site near to Cheltenham, on the Gloucester road. Thus proceeding from good to better, the committee were now enabled to bring off the third anniversary over a por- tion of the old course at Andoversford, celebrated in engraving and song as the scene of many a hard won contest in the days of old Lottery, Discount, Dragsman, The Page, The Returned, and other never- to- be- forgotten " cracks." The return to so admirable a site attracted the attendance of many an old sportsman, who during the afternoon might have been seen pointing out to attentive listeners the precise spots where this or that animal came to grief, or perhaps terminated his career. Objections to allowing the land just as crops are rising from their wintry beds would have been reasonable any- where, but considerations of inevitable damage to the same were cast aside in the desire to promote sport by those spirited holders of the soil hereabouts, Messrs S. Boyce, W. Slade, and J. Lovesey, the first named gentleman having especially aided the management in this direction. And whilst on this point, we may also refer to the invaluable services of the honorary secretary Mr Griffiths, with whom expense, time, and trouble are alike disregarded to promote annually the amuse- ment of his neighbours, and so enable them to snap their fingers at the legion of bigots for which the locality has been long notorious. His judicious laying out of the line for the present chases was unanimously approved, and though the ma- jority of the fences— thirty- one in a double round measuring a furlong short of four miles— were rum- uns to look at, they were nevertheless divested of danger by steady and careful jumping ; the land, including wheat, fallow, and grass, being in the finest going order. Red Cap, the property of a young nobleman, whose recent accession to the Turf sportsmen generally have hailed with satisfaction, was a great " pot" for the Hunt Chase, and no animal could have been brought to the post more fit for the journey, his splendid fencing, too, winning him lots of friends to the last. However, to the surprise of everybody, and the morti- fication of not a few, the favourite got bowled over by Mr Lin- dow's Bellman, piloted by his owner in truly clever style. We lfave detailed fully below the exciting contest that succeeded between Waterloo and Fairy, in which it will be seen the former, with W. Archer up ( and for which he received a well- deserved ovation) was victorious; the chance of the mare having been greatly retarded by striking with her fore foot a stump towards the conclusion of the race, and through which it was subse- quently feared that she had pulled up badly lamed. The Selling Steeple Chase did not fill, and though 18 sovs were subsequently presented by L. Elliott to make a race ( post entry), it failed to produce one. The HUNT STEEPLE CHASE of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, for horses regularly hunted, & c ; gentlemen riders; list 71b each ; winners of any race, steeple chase, or hurdle race 71b, twice 141b, thorough bred horses 51b extra ; about four miles; 5 subs. Mr Lindow's Bellman, by Delirium, list 71b Owner 1 Mr Black's Red Cap, list 71b Mr Dart 2 Mr Bidgood's Thistlewliipper, list 71b Owner 8 Capt West's Axa, 12st ( inc 71b extra) Mr Johns 0 Betting: Even oil Red Cap, 5 to 2 agst Bellman, and 3 to 1 agst Thistlewhi pper. The latter, with Bellman at his quarters, cut out the work to the double, quitting the principal meadow, which Bellman cleared considerably the quickest, and thus sailed on with a commanding lead to the turning flag, rearward of the Andoversford Inn, Thistlewhipper going on second, and Red Cap third; Axa having refused at the third fence, from whence attempts to push her further were abandoned. Cutting short the curve on the upland succeeding, Thistlewhipper again showedin advance, as they gained that portion of the line parallel with the Whittington road, but only held his forward position to half way down the descent on the way to the starting field. Bellman then resumed the command, soon after which Thistle- whipper dropped into the rear, but again essaying the short cut referred to in the first round, became the follower of Mr Lin- dow's horse to about a quarter of a mile from home. He was then passed by the favourite, who, however, never got up to Bellman, and was defeated very cleverly by a couple of good lengths; a bad third; the winner, ridden with the nicest judg- ment, having cleared the whole of the leaps without the slightest disinclination or blunder. The latter portion of the remark applies also to Red Cap, whose defeat was, doubtless, attri- butable to lying out of his ground in the concluding part of the race. A SWEEPSTAKES of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for horses of al1 denominations ; list each; winners of any race, hurdle race' or steeplechase, once 71b, twice 101b extra; any horse started twice in 1856 or 1857 without winning or receiving forfeit al- lowed 71b ; the winner to be sold for 150 sovs, if demanded ; if for 100 sovs allowed 71b, 50 14lb ; abouc four miles ; 5 subs.

Stevens 0 Mr Wyxdhaiu's Fanny Kay, 10. i 71b ( 100) Mr Bryer 0 Betting : Even ou Waterloo, 6 to 4 agst Fairy, and 5 to 1 agst Tower. Fairy took up the running directly the signal was given, but after jumping the introductory obstacle was pulled into the rear, leaving the favourite in advance, followed at wide in- tervals by Fanny Kay and Tower. Except that the quartette got on better terms, there was no change until turning for the upper line, in rounding which Fairy again drew forward, and taking second place in the ensuing two hundred yards, lay in the track of Waterloo to the fence at the top of the hill beyond. This was declined by the latter, and though taking it at the second asking, gave, nevertheless, an im- portant advantage to the mare, whose rider thereupon put on the steam, and landed her into the starting enclosure at least twenty lengths in advance of Fanny Kay ( second), and Tower next. Along the succeeding flat the favourite, however, drew up to his horses, ami then once more giving them the go- by, showed the way out of the winning meadow. A dozen lengths off Fairy travelled on next, with the others tolerably close up in her wake. Between this point and the turn to the upland line, Fairy gradually diminished the gap between herself and Waterloo, reached his quarters two or three fences onwards, jumped abreast with him the one at the summit of the descent on the right, and thence led by about a length over the remain- ing impediments to the straight winning course. When fairly in this the struggle commenced in earnest, and the favourite immediately closing with the mare, the pair ran home locked together amidst tremendous excitement and shouting. It was, in fact, either's race to within two or three strides of the chair, when the mare tired, aud the favourite was landed the winner by a short neck. Fanny Kay came down heavily at the last fence, her rider, too, getting an ugly purler that quite knocked him out of time. In falling, the bridle must have slipped up his arm, and so got round his shoulder, by which means he was dragged some distance by the mare, who directly rose and galloped onwards. Fortunately she stopped short before coming to the next jump, and finished the mischief by trampling on the still senseless one, from whom she endeavoured in vain to get away. At this juncture, George Stevens, finding that Tower's maiden steeple chase journey was a fruitless one, stopped his horse, dismounted, and most humanely rail to the assistance of Mr Bryer; having released him from his perilous position, other resistance was procured, consciousness returned, no bones were found to be broken, and the injuries luckily were confined to a few contusions on the body and head only. The winner was not sold. HEREFORD UNION HUNT STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: W. VV. H. Sitwell, Esq; W. Styles Powell, Esq; and John Brown, Esq. Clerk of the Course aud Starter: Mr Wil- liam James. Hon Sec: Mr Smyth. THURSDAY, MARCH 12.— The exertions and interest latterly concentrated to restore flat racing at Hereford seems to have spurred on an equal anxiety to bring back also the steeple- chase meetings, for which, in times gone by, the city was no less famous. It is true the " little goes," started under the auspices of the Hereford and Ledbury Hunts, have been attended with the average success such purely local affairs generally attain; but the facilities of an excellent course, the want of improved ma- nagement, and of more substantial attraction for the turfite afar, alike recall the establishment of an " open" meeting. The allusion to " management," however, chiefly concerns the un- pardonable want of punctuality observable in the running to- day, to say nothing of the " free aud easy" way in which, at intervals, the judge's box was converted into an auctioneer's rostrum for advertised sales of horses unconnected with the sport; or how the animals were recklessly galloped and trotted through the betting enclosure as if in a fair, and thus protracting the actual business nearly two hours over the set time. No such interruptions are suf- fered at the now most respectably conducted summer fes- tival, and that the parties sanctioning them in this instauce should have overlooked what was due to safety, regularity, and even common decency, is most surprising. Returning to a more pleasant subject, we are assured tbat, as relates to the paying consideration, enough has been already shown to warrant the trial of a first class meeting next season if all pull together as at present disposed. The Stand, now crammed from roof to base, a temporary stage similarly occupied, and the " course thronged with gazers " at all points, beneath a bright and bracing atmos- phere, were indeed incentives to better things, not that two of the events on the card could perhaps have supplied more satis- factory competition, considering the limited fields, but objec- tions common to hunt races, tend to such a result. For in- stance, The Farmer, engaged in the opening race, was sent to the right about through not having his certificate properly at- tested; then a protest that Growland and Jack Barber had been domiciled in a trainer's academy was submitted as damna- tory of their qualifications, but held by their worthy owner to be sheer " bosh, and of the pair Jack was selected to do battle accordingly. The latter having pulled off the two principal chases in 1856, was of course regarded equally formidable for journey the third, so that to yokel and swell, in street or hotel, nothing sounded so well as Jack Barber. They were right. The clever animal, nicely tooled by his former jockey, Charles Walker, did successfully bring home the steadier of 13st 101b. Had she stood up, the horse would doubtless have encountered a dangerous opponent in Hatterill ( own sister to Vainhope), who uninjured by a fall in the first race, cleverly bowled over Mr Walker's two in the second. The mare was subsequently brought to the hammer, but not in accordance w th any con- dition, and 100 guineas being the highest bid, she was bought in at that figure. Owing to the sales, two uninteresting heats for the Hurdle Race lasted over an hour, and wound up the affair soon after six o'clock. With regard to the future, we allude to the Summer Meeting, which is expected to be a " bumper," we are requested to state that further improvements on the course will in due time be effected, the raising of the ground in the enclosure being among the most essential. A SWEEPSTAKES of 3 sovs each, with 50 added; the second to receive 15 sovs, and the third to save his stake, for horses that have been regularly hunted with the Hereford or Ledbury Hounds, & c; four year olds list 71b, five 12st, six and aged 12st 71b; a previous winner of this race 71b extra; gentlemen riders, those who have won a public steeple chase ( this race excepted) 101b extra; about three miles and a half; 9 subs. Mr J. Walker's Jack Barber, by Tupsley, aged, 13st 101b ( including 171b cx) Mr C. Walker 1 Mr Smyth's b g by Little Tommy, 12st Mr Thomas 2 Mr Marsh's ch g The; Roe, 12st 71b Owner 8 Mr H. C. Morgan's Man of Ross, 6 yrs, 12st 71b Owner 0 MrW. Lewis's Hatterill, aged, 12st71b Owner 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Jack Barber, 5 to 2 agst the Little Tommy geldiug, and 5 to 1 agst Hatterill. The Little Tommy gelding bounded off at score, and was soon a long way ahead of Man of Ross and Hatterill, The Roe succeeding, whipped in by the heavy weight. In these positions they jumped from the upper end of the course into the first fallow, up which the leader took a line to himself, wide on the right, no alteration occurring until emerging from benind the hill and regaining the course, where Hatterill took second place and The Roe dropped into the rear. At the Stand, Hatterill got well in the wake of the Little Tommy gelding, and closing with him in the next tw*. hun- dred yards, clearedhim in the bottom, the latter, the favourite, and Man of Ross thence lying close up together, about three lengths behind the mare, who, however, only retained the command to the second fence after quitting the course on the right. Here she came down and parted company with her rider ; the Little Tommy geldiug coming in her track, swerved round, and ran his head into the quickset. To avoid collision, Jack Barber was pulled up, but was directly set going again, and travelled on some distance in . advance of the Little Tommy gelding, whose rider thence put on the steam, and reached the favourite just before coming to the final jump into the winning course. This they cleared simultaneously, and raced abreast to the road cros- sing, from whence Jack drew once more to the front, and in- creasing the lead at each stride, won cleverly by half- a- dozen lengths; The Roe saved his stake, a distance behind the second; Man of Ross, lar out of the race, was pulled up where Hatterill fell, Mr Morgan dismounting, and going to the assistance of his prostrate neighbour, who, besides having his frontispiece scratched, was very badly shaken. A SWEEPSTAKES of 3 sovs each, with 50 added, for horses that have been regularly hunted with the Hereford, Ledbury, Mon- mouth, Ludlow, or Kington Hounds, subject to weights and conditions as in previous race ; about three miles and a half ; 7 subs. Mr W. Lewis's Hatterill, by Safeguard, aged, 13st Sib ( including 101b extra) Mr Davenport 1 Mr Walker's Jack Barber, 13st Mr W. Essex 2 Mr Smith's brown mare, aged, 12st 71b Mr Thomas 3 Mr Handford's Maid of the Usk, 6 yrs, 12st 71b Owner 0 Mr Walker's Growland, 6 yrs, 13st 31b ( in- cluding 101b extra) Mr C. Walker dis Betting : 2 to 1 agst Growland, 5 to 2 agst Hatterill, 6 to 4 agst Jack Barber. Growland went off a " cracker," followed, for about a mile, at wide intervals each, by Jack Barber, the brown mare, Hatterill, and Maid of the Usk. Jack then fell into the rear, but went on in close order, with Hatterill and Maid of the Usk, over a succession of fences, to the extreme turn on the hill, near the railway, where the latter fell, and was stopped. The severe pace made by the favourite from the start to the point where the Maid came down, slackened as they descended the hill the last time for the course, aud, stopping at every stride to his pursuers, Hatterill and Jack Barber were at his quarters on gaining the bottom, the brown mare now beaten off. A score yards further Hatterill closed with the favourite, having Jack in immediate waiting, but, after jumping abreast the distance hurdles, the mare showed in advance, and won very cleverly by three lengths, Jack finishing as far from Growland, whose rider weighing in could not quite turn the scale, and, consequently, was disqualified, Jack Barber getting second money, and the brown mare, who trotted in half a mile astern, saving her^ take. The HURDLE RACE of 1 sov each, with 10 added; four year olds lOst 10lb, five list 41b, six and aged 12st; the winner to be sold for 50 sovs, & c; heats, about two miles; 5 subs.

MARKET WEIGHT0N STEEPLE CHASES. FRIDAY, MARCH 6.— These events came off in the neigh- bourhood of Market Weigh ton. The day was favourable, and there was an immense assemblage of spectators. The country was very stiff, and some of the fences were calculated. to try the nerve of the most resolute rider. The sport came off as follows : The MARKET WEIGHTON STAKES of3 sovs each, with 30 added: the second to save his stake, and the winner to pay 3 sovs towards expenses; about four miles ; 8 subs. MrHolliday's bm Deceitful, by Redshank, aged. llst 111b.

Fairy jumped off with the lead, which she held to the third fence, where All the Go took up the run- ning, but soon afterwards bolted down the River Head Lane. The race was left then to Speculation and Chance, and after a severe struggle the former came in first by a length ; Deceitful a bad third. An objection was then made to Speculation and Chance, on the ground that they had run on the wrong side of a flag, and the Stewards awarded the race to Deceitful. The LONDESBOROUGH STAKES of 2 sovs each, 1 ft, with 15 added; the second to save his stake; over about three miles of hunting country; 4 subs, Mr J. Danby's br g Tomboy, aged, l'st 41b..,. T.

It will be seen, by reference to advertisements several times inserted in our columns, and repeated to- day, that two of the principal events at the Kildare Hunt Meeting ( to take place on the 13th and 14th of April) close on Wednesday next, the 18th instant, with either Mr M'Evoy, at the Globe Hotel, Naas, or with Mr Robert J. Hunter, 37, Upper Gloucester- street. The programme is one of varied excellence, presenting races suitable for every class of animal, and in the conditions we notice the following excellent rule :—" That all riders who have never won a steeple chase value 30 sovs shall be allowed 41b, and all horses coming from England subsequent to the 6th of April shall be allowed 4lb in every race." The races closing on Wednesday are each of the value of 200 sovs, one a weight for age, and the other a handicap ; and on the second day there are two of the value of 100 sovs each, one a weight for age. withmaiden and selling allow- ances, aud the other a Welter Plate, for horses carrying 13st 71b each. It will be in the recollection of our readers that upwards of seventy horses contended at this meeting last year, and no doubt fully as many will put in an appearance at this, so there will be an opportunity for gentlemrn supplying themselves with hunters, & c, such as rarely occurs. The 4lb allowance for horses crossing the Channel subsequent to the 6th of April, coupled with the country being quite suitable for English horses to get over, as witness Star of the West's performance last year, ought to induce some of our steeple chasers to try their luck " over the water."

The match can be made at Keenley Well House, Allendale ; and if made, to come off on the 3d of April next, at the Haydon and Allendale Hunt Steeple Chase. A LONG SWIM BY DEER.— The following is from an esteemed correspondent:—" Mr Editor: The superstitious natives of Iona were not long since seriously alarmed by the unwonted appear- ance presented by a couple of strange animals landing on their shores. The ' oldest inhabitants' declared it must be the Fiend himself, attended by a' ministering angel;' they turned out, however, to be two remarkably fine specimous of red deer, a buck aud doe, the former meriting the designation of' the antlered monarch of the wood,' being' a stag of ten.' There had been a batiue in the covers of Knock, on the Island of Mull, by which the deer were disturbed, and they must have run upwards of 30 miles,' o'er mountain and burn,' until they reached the Sound of Ioua, which, though upwards of a couple of miles iu breadth, they took in first- rate style, and landed safely on the Holy Isle. Apparently, however, they did not approve of their new quar- ters ; after passing the night, spying the nakedness of the land, it must have been ' J evenons a, nos moutons,' for they again de- liberately ' breasted the waves,' and so returned to their ' ane countrie.'— Yours, & c, GLENAPP, Iona, Argyleshire, Mar 9,1857. DEATH OF THE EARL OF FIFE.— We learn from the Banj)- shire Journal that this nobleman expired at his residence at Duff House, on Monday night. The deceased earl, who was in his 81st year, was Lord Lieutenant of the county of Banff. He was likewise a general in the Spanish army, in which he served as a volunteer throughout the Peninsular war. The family is descended from Macduff, the. well- known Thane of Fife. The late earl is succeeded in his title aud estates by his nephew, James Duff, Esq, M. P. for the county of Banff. DERRY ELECTION— ARREST OF A PRESBYTERIAN CLERGY- MAN.— The RevMr Gamble, aPresbyterian minister, of Castledaw- son, was taken into custody on Saturday week, at his own house, under a warrant signed by Mr Miller, a stipendiary magistrate, aud conveyed by the constabulary to Derry, in order to be lodged in the county gaol. His imputed offence is that of having incited a riotous mob to use violence towards her Majesty's troops on the first day of the polling at Magherafelt, but which Mr Gamble denies. Mr Gamble was liberated on bail.— Northern Whig. THE CHASE. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.—( Weather permitting.) STAG HOUNDS. Her Majesty's— Tuesday Twyford Station, Friday Maidenhead Station, at i past 11.

MR EDITOR : On Wednesday last the meet was Shuttington Bridge, where upwards of twa hundred horsemen assembled, including some of the crack men of the Pytchley, the Quorn, Mr Meynell Ingram's, and the North Warwickshire. They im- mediately trotted off to General A'Court's cover ( a never- failing find), in consequence of being well looked after by his tenant, Mr Hand, who is a thorough good sportsman. The hounds were no sooner put in than " Tallyho- hoick- away" was the word; they soon settled down, and rattled him along at a merry pace by Statfold, Syerscote, and up to Elford, where he ^ Tnied short to the left, and went to ground near Haselour, after twenty minutes, very fast, which put the horses in good mind, and the riders on their mettle for run the second. The hounds were no sooner put in Colonel Inge's Gorse, than one of the right sort broke away; leaving Thorpe Hall to the right, he went straight through Clifton ozier bed, by Chilcote; he then turned to the right, nearly down to Stretton, leaving the village to the left; the hounds raced him along by Appleby Gorse, where I have no doubt he intended making for the earths, butlindingthe gorse in a blaze, he travelled on for Gopsall; however, not deign- ing to enter those large covers, he turned short to the left for Snarestone, where we got our first check. The pace up to this had been very severe, over about ten miles in 45 minutes, and although the land was in fine riding order, it had told fearful tales upon the horses, one of which, I am sorry to say, belonging to a good sportsman, Mr R. Huut, dropped down dead near Ap- pleby, and several others thought it was Mothering Sunday. But I must hoick back to Snarestone, where I left him ; he now bore up the meadows for Measham, leaving Birdshill Gorse to the left, he made forWillesley, where we lost him, in consequence of the country being all plough and very dry. These hounds, Mr Editor, have been having excel lent sport the last month, par- ticularly last Wednesday week, which 1 had hoped to have seen chronicled in your paper. Not being out myself, I could not send it you. Hoping Mr Selby Lowndes, who is so popular with every class of sportsmen in the field ( notwithstanding a scurrilous letter which appeared in a would- be sporting contemporary this winter), may continue with us for many seasons to come, is the sincere wish of— Yours, & c, TUMULUS. P. S. I wish to correct an error in your paper, iu returning Emigrant, the winner of the Liverpool Steeple Chase, as by Drayton. He is by Melbourne, aud I consider it a little flattering to the Atherstone Hunt in having bred and made perfect the fol- lowing horses, namely, Vanguard, The Victim, Chandler, Tam- worth, Pioneer, Spring, and Emigrant. A GOOD DAY'S SPORT WITH THE PYTCHLEY. MR EDITOR: On Monday, March 2, these hounds met at Barton Seagrave aud drew the spinnies there, said to be full of foxes, but unfortunately none of them were at home; how- ever it cannot be expected that foxes will be found in covers tbat are never drawn. The Burton and Finedon Covers, for instance, which formerly were always considered sure finds, are now not i wnndW?' Jhe l » t « ® Mter ( the Earl of Hopetoun) hunt^ dth^ I woodland side of the country regularly once a fortnight wit | advantage to his hounds and to the owners of coverts. Pytchle\ x I Coppice was the next draw, and the hounds had not been long in cover ej- e tlieir music gave evident signs that Revnard was on root, and like a good fox ( as he proved himself), he broke imme- diately at the Kettering end of the cover. The first three fields were plough, and the hounds rattled over them in a manner that i 1, t he scent t0 be better th » n it had been for the last | month ( notwithstanding an easterly wind). We then came to a I small brook, with a nasty blind fence on the taking off side, which caused a little confusion and not a few tumbles • how* : ever there was no time for lingering, for though it was all arable ; land the pace became still faster. Crossing the Northampton turnpike- road the fox kept up the valley in the direction of Thorpe ( apparentlyhis point); here, however, he seems to have beea liead « d, as he turned slightly to the right, and leaving that place on the left hand, put his head straight for Rowell. The line now lay over 9ome fine meadows, the hounds running in acompact body, and nearly mute. After jumping another small brook we came to the Harborough turnpike- road, aud here the scene was extraordinary. Out of a field of nearly one hundred there were not twenty men near the hounds, the rest scattered in all direc- tions. The scent was so good, and the pace so severe, that none but the best men, and not even all of them, had a chance of seeing the fun. After crossing the road the fox pointed for Rushton, and led us over a stiffly enclosed country The hounds, however, would not be denied, and being hard pressed he took refuge in a drain between that place and Rowell. Time 31 minutes, without the slightest checks Distance rather more than five miles, over a country comprising all sorts of ground, and almost every description of fences There is not a doubt but that the hounds would have run into their fox in another seven or eight minutes, had it not been for this open dram, out of which it was found impossible to dislodge h, lm; it cannot, however, be regretted that such a good fox should have escaped. This run was as nearly straight as possi- ble, and but a few showed at the conclusion of it. Tho masters ( Messrs Cust and Villiers), Captains Clarke, Gambier, and Maunsell; that fine old veteran, Sir Francis Head, and Mr Angerstein, may be mentioned as having been amongst the number. Cransley Wood proved blank, but not so Gib, whence one of the right sort was quickly away. After running nearly up to Cransley he suddenly changed his mind, and went straight to Mawsley Wood, and here it is supposed we changed foxes. There was no check nevertheless, the hounds carrying the scent straight through the cover, and across a fine grass country towards Fox Hall; leaving that on the right they went at undiminished speed to Short Wood, through that, and nearly up to Lamport Park, where they suddenly threw up, but in a few minutes it was discovered that the fox had gone to ground in a shallow drain, from which he was soon taken, and thrown to the hounds, who, it must be allowed, well deserved blood. This run occupied 35 minutes, over a fine grass country, with but one trifling check. The pack will soon go to their Brigstock Kennels, and as the stoutness of the Woodland foxes is proverbial, I hope, ere the close of the season, to furnish you with accounts of yet many more days' sport, worthy of a place in the columns of Nunquam Dormio.— Yours, & c, VIATOR. FOX HUNTING IN WEST KENT. MR EDITOR : Since Mr Collyer ( who has hunted this country with great spirit for eight years) has sold his stud and given it up, the Hon R. Neville, from Berlin, has very kindly hunted the country, with a beautiful little pack of very high bred harriers ( or you might call them dwarf foxhounds), and the sport he has shown has been extraordinary. It would occupy too much space in your densely filled columns to enumerate the different runs, but on every occasion but one, they have killed their fox in capita! style. Tuesday, March i, the meet was St Clair ( favourite meet of Mr Collyer); found a fox in Pekin Wood, and after running him for three hours and a- half killed him in the open. There were nearly 70 horsemen when we found him, but only one- tenth of the number went through. The pace very good, aud their hunting beautiful. I do not know the country well enough to enumerate the different points, but from Otford, the farthest point, to Ashe, where he was killed, must be thirteen miles. Hoping these good runs will spur the gentlemen © f West Kent on for another season, I am, yours, & c, ONE WHO DID NOT SEE THE LAST HALF- HOUR. THE TESTIMONIAL TO MR DAVIS. MR EDITOR : I was one of the many who read a letter from " West Indian" in your last week's number, proposing to give a testimonial of esteem and friendship to Mr Charles Davis, the Queen's huntsman, who now for more than 30 years has filled his arduous situation, to the satisfaction of his various noble masters, and all those who have participated in the sport he has been so instrumental in showing. It was well said of him long since by a great authority, that no man in England combined iu a greater degree the bearing and manners of a gentleman with the duties of his public position, while as an elegant horseman he is still almost without a rival. Wishing to pay my tribute of respect, I called this morning at Mr Fores's, 41, Piccadilly, and find that tke general impression seems to be that one guinea is to be the limit of the subscription. I think this is a pity ; and I believe the intention wished to be conveyed by the letter of " West Indian" was, that a guinea should be considered, and would probably be, the general amount, but not that it should limit those who consider themselves indebted to him for many years of pleasant hunting recollections to that sum. I feel quite certain that the present" noble master, and those who have preceded him, among whom I remember LordsRosslyn and Chesterfield, will, if they are properly applied to, be pleased at the opportunity of heading the list; and I suggest to those gentlemen who have started the idea, that this should be done at once; and, with thdr names at its head, I doubt not, but when London fills again after the elections, Mr Fores will show a goodly list of contributors, and among them some who may not have seen the Queen's Hounds for many a long year, but will remember the time— before the days of railways— when some 500 gallant horsemen, nearly all in scarlet, would meet " Davis on the Hermit," at some favourite meet, and when, perhaps, no pack in England could show their horses better riders or better sport. I should like, and intend to give my five guineas to the fund, which I hope will amouut to a sum worthy of the occasion and of the man.— Yours, & c, SOMHRVILLE. MR EDITOR : Having heard that it is the intention of the gentlemen who hunt with Her Majesty's Hounds, and others, to raise a subscription for the purpose of presenting me a testimo- nial, may I solicit, through the medium of your valuable paper, to assure them that I am deeply sensible of the inteuded honour, and at the same time most respectlully beg of them to relinquish their intention, but continue to meet me in the hunting field, which I shall consider the best proof of their approbation of my conduct.— Yours, & c, CHARLES DAVIS. Ascot Heath, Chertsey, March 12,1857. HUNTING MEMS. We understand that in consequence of Mr Anstruther Thom- son having resigned the Oxfordshire country, a committee of gentlemen has been formed, who will receive through their secre- taries, Messrs Tubb, of Bicester, bankers, any communication from gentlemen who may be disposed to take the country. AQUATICS. ( BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) OXFORD UNIVERSITY TORPID RACES. Although the weather was unpropitious, rain, snow, and a high wind predominating, the first race came off on Friday afternoon, according to announcement, when Brasenose bumped Wadham very soon after starting, and Oriel bumped Worcester towards the close of the race. BY TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. PARIS, FRIDAY NIGHT. The statement that the French Government were about to send troops to China is officially contradicted. The co- operation of France will be confined to the vessels already despatched. BUCHAREST, MARCH 9. The bearer of the firman, authorising the convocation of the Divans, has arrived here. CITY INTELLIGENCE. The dealings in English Securities since our last have been in- considerable. Political as well as monetary affairs have not been in favour of increased operations for an advance in prices ; but on the other hand there are many circumstances in operation which deter speculators from proceeding extensively in the other direction. A few sales have been effected, but these have generally been balanced by purchases, partly by the public and partly by those who consider a rise more probable than a fall. The decline since then has been about J per cent in the quotations of Consols, which yesterday afternoon were 93i | for money, and 934 £ for account. The transfer books for the New Threes, Reduced, and Long Annuities, have been closed. Ex- chequer Bills have remained at about previous prices. The latest prices on Friday afternoon of the English Funds Bank Stock shut I Exchequer Bills, par Consols for Money, 93J 1 Ditto Bonds ( 1859), 98? Ditto Account, 93^ f | India Bonds, 2 dis In Foreign Securities also the transactions have not been numerous, but more firmness has been displayed than in the English Market. Turkish Six per Cents, owing to the scarcity of stock, have been firmer. Spanish have commanded previous rates, and Mexican have risen to 22f and 23J. South American Securities generally have been at firm quotations. The latest prices of the Foreign Funds on Friday after- noon were j Ac- Sardinian, 90 92 Spanish Account, 41* Ditto Deferred, 25 Ditto Passive, 5i 6 Turkish Six per Cents, count, 97| £ Ditto Four per Cents, 100| l£ Venezuela, 37 9 Dutch Two- and- a- Half per Cents, 64$ 65$ Ditto Four per Cents, 98i 99£ Belgian, 98100 Brazilian, 102 104 Buenos A. vres, 84 6 Chilian, 104 6 Equador, 1415 Grenada, 22| Mexican 221 3| Peruvian, 78i Portuguese Three per Cents, 45H Russian Four- and- a- half per Cents, 971 Si The business transacted in railway shares during the past week has been rather active, but the heaviness that prevailed in the English Stock Market affected prices to a considerable extent. The average decline in values may be quoted at about 1 to 1$ per cent., although in one or two instances it has been greater. Chester and Holyhead, Great Western, Norfolk, and South Wales declined Caledonian and North British f, Lan- cashireand Yorkshire, Northwestern, Midland, Brighton, South Westenr, and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton 1, Bristol and Exeter, North Eastern ( Berwick) 1$, and South Eastern and Great Northern 2 to 2- J. The Foreign and Colonial lines, with one or two exceptions, have also ruled at lower rates. Paris and Lyons declined f, Northern of France i. East Indian receded 1, Great Western of Canada improved -}, Grand Trunk of Canada 1$, and Sambre and Meuse l£. British, Foreign, and Colonial Mining Shares have been in very limited request, at rather lower rates. Joint Stock Bank Shares have been moderately dealt in, but lower quotations have been current for some of the principal undertakings. City Bank have receded H, Ottoman Bank and Union of Australia li toH. In the miscellaneous undertakings the chief feature to notice has been a rise of about 7 per cent in Canada Land Shares. In the other miscellaneous shares no change of im- portance has taken place. RETURN OF THE COURT TO LONDON.— On Thursday her Ma- jesty and the royal family returned from Windsor to Bucking- ham Palace, and the same afternoon the Prince Consort held a levee on behalf of her Majesty at St James's Palace. TnE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHINESE WAR.— THE CITY MEETING.— On Friday, a meeting of the merchants, bankers, traders, and electors of the city of London was held in the Guildhall, in consequence of a very numerously signed requi- sition presented to the Lord Mayor, " to take into consideration the decision recently come to by the House of Commons relative to the affairs of Canton, and to express its high confidence in her Majesty's Government." At two o'clock the Lord Mayor entered the hall and took the chair. He was very warmly re- ceived. There were present— Alderman Wire.. Alderman Rose, Alderman Sir James Duke, Bart, M. P. ( a candidate), Mr Raikes Currie, M. P. ( a candidate), Mr John Dillon, Mr R. W. Crawtou ( a candidate), Mr Deputv Dakin, Mr Edwin James, Q. C., Mr Sergeant Ballantine, Mr W. W. J. Hall. Mr Oliveira, M. P , Mr Sheriff Keats, Mr Whitehurst, Mr John Hamilton, Mr Williams ( Common Councilman), Deputy Obbard, and Mr Samuel Morley. — The Lord Mayor, on coming forward, said he had felt it his duty to call the meeting, in consequence of a requisition to that effect from 800 merchants, bankers, and traders of the City, and he asked a patient hearing for every speaker.— Several resolu- tions, in conformity with the opinions of those convening the meeting, were passed almost unanimously; resolutions of an opposite character being negatived by overwhelming majorities.
