The imports of Cloverseed have been very mode- rate, but at this advanced period of the season buyers act with great cau- tion, a » d prices are somewhat irregular, holdeis of the finest qualities giving wav reluctantly; but all other sorts were pressingly offered again on lower terms. Cauaryseed was quite as dear, and more inquired after. Tares are taken off oil rather reduced terms.

PROVISION MARKET.— The arrivals last week from Ireland were 622 firkins of Butter and 2,190 bales Bacon; and fi om Foreign ports 11,551 casks of Butter, 46 bales and 96 boxes Bacon. Throughout the past week nothing but dullness has prevailed in the English Butter trade, originating in some degree from the elections and the Easter re- cess : and the only sorts of Irish in request are Corks and Limericks. English Butter we quote from 120s to 122s per cwt. English fresh firsts have realised 15s, seconds 14s, West Country 13s to lis, and inferior down to 12s per doz. Ostend fresh 128 to 18* 6d.

During the past week Waterford Bacon for shipping has advanced Is free on board, the rates obtained being 70s to 71s, generally the lots offering ( lauded) bringing 66s to 72s in first hands. No purcnasers for American Bacon, and Is cheaper. Ou Wednesday last about 3,300 boxes were sold, out of 5,800 boxes offered at the Liverpool sale. Accounts vary with regard to the reality of buj ers' intentions; some say the whole was purchased on speculation, and others by parties interested in thearticle. Foreign Cheese— ATliough advancing prices are reported In Holland, the trade here is without any important feature. Fine red Edams being scarce, holders demand 60s to 64s per cwt for the finest, as the inferior are so unsaleable that buyers are too apprehensive to specu- late to any extent. Following are the quotations:— Fine red Edams — s, inferior 4is to 56s, fine pale 60s to. 62s, inferior 48s to 50s, fine Goudas 56s to 58s, inferior 46s to 50s, fine Derby ditto 58s to 60s, inferior 50s to 54s, fine loaf 60-, inferior 52s to 56s. new Kanters 29s, tine and good Ameri- LISTS issued daily, and forwarded to any address on receipt can( duty paid)— s to - s.

HOP MARKET, FBIDAY.— There has been a steady business done in fine Hops, and, as very few are to be met with, prices are firmly main- tained. The accounts just published of the exportation of aie and por- ter, showing an increase in ten j ears of four times the quantity, at once explains the cause of the great scarcity of the best class ot Hops that has been experienced in the market since Christmas.

THE EXPEKSE OF THE POLICE AT ALDERSHOTT.— The sum of £ 7,000 is required to be voted by Parliament for the current year to meet the expense of the policc at Aldershott camp. SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN A MANCHESTER WAREHOUSE.— On Monday evening a shocking and fatal accident occurred in the warehouse of Messrs John Pender aud Co, Manchester. A hoist used for the purpose of lifting goods from one floor to another had been fitted with Mr Hugh Baines's patent self- acting safety apparatus, a contrivance for preventing accident in case of any of the repes failing in the ascent of goods or servants from one story to the other; and on Tuesday evening a trial was being made of it with six persons in the cage. On the cage arriving at the upper story the rope was disconnected ( which would be the same as if it was broken), and the patent apparatus for checking the descent of the hoist should have come into play. The ap- paratus, however, did not act, and the consequence was that the cage descended with frightful velocity to the basement floor, a depth of 50 feet. Two of the gentlemen in the cage, Mr Peacock, head warehouseman, and his brother, had stepped out upon the upper floor just as the rope was disconnected, and were saved from injury, but the other four sustained serious injuries, and were carried to the Infirmary, where one of them, named Shaw, died the same night. Mr Baines is one of the sufferers, sustain- ing a severe laceration of one foot. DREADEUX RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— On Monday evening, shortly after the 5: 50 express train from the north arrived at Stafford, an accident happened to one of the men in the service of the Lon- don and North Western B, ailvvay Company, whereby his head was completely severed from his body. The man's name was William M'Cabe, a person of considerable engineering skill, who had for many years been entrusted with the management of the engine- shed at the station. On Monday evening, immediately after the north express had passed the bridge where the Shrop- shire Union Railway runs into the main line, an engine drawing a number of empty ballast waggons arrived at the spot, and, after passing the junction of the lines, stopped to put down a man who had had his hand smashed near Norton Bridge Station, and who was conveyed through New Town to the infirmary at Stafford. Just at this moment M'Cabe, who had but a few minutes previously left his home, was standing on the line noticing a train shunting into a siding, aud about 10 yards in front of the ballast train, when the engine of the latter train was again put in motion for the purpose of proceeding towards the station, which M'Cabe observed just before it reached him ; but in attempting to make his escape the outside of the buffer of the engine caught him, and knocked him back again into the " four- foot" space between the rails, when he fell with his head across the rail. The wheel of the engine pushed him before it a short distance, and then passing over his neck, decapitated him. M'Cabe was well known and respected by all the authorities and officials on the line. He leaves a widow and six children. DELICATE CONSTITUTIONS AND PRECARIOUS HEALTH OE CHILDREN.— Parents and medical men frequently notice that, although children are not actually ill, they are often sickly an, feeble, and that food and medicine are equally unavailing in im.— parting health or vigour. This precarious and distressing state is thus described by the late eminent physican, Dr Edward Carey, when writing in commendation of the surprising efficacy of Dr de Jongh's Light Brown Cod Liver Oil, now so well and favourably known in this country:—" lt is in the diseases inci- dental to childhood that mainly depend on the mal assimilati6n of the food in the pale cachectic child, when the anxious practi- tioner has exhausted the whole range of alteratives and tonics, that this Cod Liver Oil will come in and satisfy his most san- guine expectations. Where the powers of life are low it affords nourishment to the body when none other can be borne; it fur- nishes the frame with fat in a truly wonderful manner; and, administered as it is in Holland, to the delicate and puny child, who, though not considered ill, is in that state of impaired health which would favour the development of disease, its ex- traordinary effects will soon be visible, after having taken it for a short period, in a return to health and strength which was be- fore unknown, and which will be accomplished by no other remedy with which we are at present acquainted." Dr de Jongh's Oil is only sold in imperial half- pints, 2s 6d; pints, 4s 9d; and quarts, lis, capsuled and labelled with his stamp and signature, without which none can possibly be genuine, by his sole British consignees, Ansar, Harford, and Co, 77, Strand, London, and in the country by many respectable chemists. Proposed substitutions of either kinds of Cod Liver Oil should be strenuously resisted, as they proceed frcm interested motives, and will result in disappointment to the purchaser.

C. Stewart, lidiuburgh— Your " Practical Angler; or, the Art of Trout Fishing," and your specimens of artificial flies for clear water, have been received by " Ephemera." A glance enables him to pronounce the latter ex- cellent. The former he must ex- amine minutely before he passes judgment upon it. Our trial paper this week is full to over- flowing of important eases. Mr Stewart's must, therefore, stand over to another session. ANGLING ADIEUX, No. 7, by " Ephemera," will appear next week, and will contain salmon- fishing information touching Nor- way and Sweden, communicated by Mr M'Gowan, salmon and trout fishing- tackle maker, Bru- ton- street, Bond- street. A C— Next month, at Ballina, Bal- lyshannon, or Ballinahyncli. " Ephemera" will be there or thereabouts at the time. Alexander Hillery " Ephemera" is ready t » acknowledge his error about " greenheart" wood. It is not new for angling purposes. Mr Forrest, of Kelso, has used it, and so have other fishing- rod makers, for several years for the top pieces of salmon rods. It is not, however, generally used, and the question " Ephemera" wishes to decide is whether it is better than hickory or not. AQUATICS. Waterman— If you mean Mr Farley, of Fleet- street, you could not do much better; we do not know his charges, for they depend so entirely ou the kind of model re- quired, Isis— We cannot answer questions which are all determined in our account of the match. The exact weights are given, and if you can- not find the average, apply to your " coacli," and tremble for your B. A, J. Walton— The betting on the race for the Championship is at pre- sent even, and is likely so to re- main ; but the last deposit is to be made on Monday next, and if you choose to attend you will hear all about it. Ancient Mariner— There is an ex- cellent photograph of Robert Coombes, by Messrs Matill and Po'yblank, of Gracechurch- street. They have also one of Harry Clasper, which we have not seen', and therefore cannot express an opinion of it. Wheeler— Henley Regatta is not fixed, but we prasume it will be at the end of June or beginning f'of July; Kingston will follow hard upon. DRAUGHTS W W— You can compel him to take the man, G, F. Fitzgerald— Get " Anderson on Draughts," published by Neil- son, of Glasgow. Harwich— It is no bet, and W. is an ass, DOMINOES. Coach and Horses— The mistake may be rectified. A R— It should have been played again with the right number, un- less there was reason to suppose that there was trickery. BILLIARDS. Club Marker The player does not lose a life, but he cannot take cne; it is a foul stroke, and the mistake must be rectified. A player must use the ball given to him, though this does not prevent him from playing with a spot bail of the same colour, if it is not in use. P Y W K— Th « backer of A. was justified in calling attention to the mistake, if he did so at the time, and the players and marker were satisfied of the error. E. J. Tyler— It is a division, unless expressly named to the contrary before playing. PEDESTRIANIBM. A A— Wantling, of Derby. J S C— They have run four times. H B— What was the date ?

M V A— You were not bound to call, and you win the game. J. Bleteher— We never answered the question in the manner you mention if put as you put it. Of course if B. was not out by tricks, A. wins by honours. Green Dragon— They oould not call after the first trick was turned, but they could count their honours at the end of the hand. Joe Bagstock— We never met with such » case before, and . though th, e rule of the game expresses that it Bhall be played with 52 cards, We consider that the two rubbers which had been played with 44 cards only settled for, must stand good.

The work is one of great difficulty and delicacy, and it is not sur- prising that Mr Egg should wish the labour and responsibility to be shared by another. Great progress is being made in every department of the Exhibition. Contributions arrive daily in large numbers. The officials, however, do not seem to be over- whelmed by them, and are confident that everything will be ready for the opening on the 5th proximo. The members of the executive committee spend the whole of every day in the build- ing, and appear to go through an amount of work which is per- fectly astonishing, considering that it is entirely gratuitous. The general museum of art will be arranged in cases similar to those used at Marlborough House, and exhibited in the great central hall extending from the main entrance to the transept. It is intended to illustrate the various epochs of ornamental art from the Anglo- Saxon period to the present day, and will consist of specimens of every kind of manufac- ture to which decoration has been applied. It is espe- cially rich in articles belonging to the Medieval and Renaissance periods, aud the examples which it contains will no doubt be productive of great advantage, and give an incalculable impulse to the several branches of ornamental industry. The executive committee, in forming this extraordinary and unique collection, have been most generously assisted by all classes of the community, from her Majesty the Queen to the owner of even a single article of historical or artistic interest. Mr Waring, the superintendent of the museum, has been indefatigable in his exertions to make the department as complete ass possible, and has succeeded in procuring specimens from the royal collection, the Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Marquis of Bath, the Earl of Cadogan, Lord Hastings, Sir Anthony Rothschild, General Lygon, Cardinal Wiseman, the civil and ecclesiastical dignitaries of Oxford, Cambridge, York, aud other cities, and from Messrs Slade, Cheney, Addington, Field, Goff, Napier, and a great number of other well- known collectors. The museum, in addition, includes the whole of the Bernal and Soulage collections, constituting in themselves art expositions of the most remarkable character, to which nothing equal lias hitherto been seen in England. In short, the collection richly and fully illustrates every species of manufacture and decoration in glass, earthenware, marble, wood, ivory, and the precious metals, together with the arts of the goldsmith, the carver, the enamelled the watchmaker, the ocksmith. and the cutler..

The English have great reason to be proud of their tribunals, and of the practice as well as the principles of British judica- ture. It may be that the guilty sometimes escape, but there is no pretence for any insinuation that accused persons are tried unfairly, or even without indulgence. Not merely in England itself is this the case, but it is so even in lier most distant and least- settled colonies. The recent trial at Hong Kong affords a stroug proof of the fact. A whole oolony has. been recently en- dangered by poison, by the poisoning of the daily food of the English inhabitants, and the accused have received the benefit of a " doubt," and have escaped. Now that the trial is over, and these accused persons are no longer in jeopardy, it is al- lowable for every one freely to express his opinion. For ourselves we confess that opinion to be that the verdict was incorrect. Every man who carefully considers the evidence, must doubt about its correctness. There is no one with a grain of setose who even affects to deny that there was poison in the bread made at E- Sing's shop. Many people ( Lady Bowring was one) nearly lost their lives by eating it, all suffered considerably. Nay, one argument much relied on in favour of E- Sing was that the poison was used in large quantities, and that he was too skilful a person to have so used it, since its use in that way would tend to disappoint him of victims, and might afford a clue to dis- covery. As to the first of these things the overdose may or may not have had that effect— it certainly has not tended, as yet, to produce the second result. If E- Sing and his co- prisoners were, as the verdict says, not guilty, no clue has been afforded to aid in the detection of those who were. Now, what are the circumstances which may make reasonable men believe the verdict of acquittal to be erroneous ? They are these : First of all, the notorious fact that the poisoning wax re- commended, not to say ordered by the Chinese officials, in whose eyes apparently any means of obtaining a triumph over the " outer barbarians" are permissible. The attempt to get rid of the " outer barbarians" is looked upon by these persons as a kind of religious duty. Is there any evidence to show that E- Sing did not so consider it, or that he was unwilling to assist in this object of his native Government J There is none. On the other hand, his conduct is only intelligible on the supposition that he was prepared to obey the orders andeffectuate the wishes of that Government, He quitted the colony, and quitted it with his whole family, 011 the day when the deed was perpetrated. Oh, say his friends in the press of this country, but his intention to leave was taken before that day, and he left with his whole family in order to place his wife and children in safety. Of course his intention was taken beforehand, as the determina- tion to poison was taken before. They were not the results of that single morning's meditations. What danger did he fear on account of his family ? The English would not have molested him, and if it is pretended that he was afraid of the Chinese because he might be looked on by them as friendly to the English, his mode of assuaging his fears for his wife and family, was to carry them from a place where his protection against Chinese attempts was to be relied on, to a place where it was less to be relied on than it was at Hong Kong. This was a curious method of providing for the safety of his family. But his advocates repeat that that was his object, and that he meant to return immediately to Hong Kong, which, they say, he would not have done had he been the real mover in the poisoning. The evidence of his intention to return to Hong Kong depends ou his own statement alone. But it is said, had he not returned he would have lost a very large pro- perty, which was embarked in the baking business at Hong Kong. Who is so weak as to fancy that that would have been a reason to prevent his escape, could that escape have been ef- fected. If he was guilty, he was so as the obedient and r . ady and willing servant of his own Government. Who, - under such circumstances, would put the value of any property embarked in trade against personal safety, and the certainty of high re- ward from the Government to which he had rendered what that Government chose to consider a signal service. His Government would have well indemnified him. Mere trade profits aud spe- culations would in such a case be nothing— the approbation of his Sovereign, the honour he expected to obtain, the wealth he was sure to receive, would far outweigh them. It is needless to go into all the details disclosed at the trial which suggest and support this line of reasoning. It is true that the fact of knowingly possessing and using the poison was not clearly brought home to him. But could such an extensive use of it have occurred in his own manufactory without his know- ledge ? The sickness of his children at sea, relied 011 as a proof of his innocence, is accounted for by the voyage. They might, it is true, have eaten of bread baked that day in his ovens, but it by no means follows that the bread they ate of was any part of the poisoned bread. On the other hand, that which was dis- posed of to the English was undoubtedly poisoned, and the Chief Justice who presided at the trial had himself been one of the sufferers from eating of it. But to the honour of the English law and of the English law administrators the accused man was al- lowed the fullest benefit of a perfectly free defence, and the Chief Justice impressed on the minds of the jurymen that they must forget every thing they had heard out of court, and must act on the evidence given at the trial, subject to his legal advice as to the manner of weighing that evidence. Having laid down this rule, he repeated to them the merciful principles 01 the English law, and concluded by reminding them that if they had any doubt whatever upon the question, they were bound to give to the prisoner the full benefit of that doubt, and to acquit him. And he was acquitted. That foreign jurists will smile at this additional proof of what they call the weakness of the English law we have no doubt;. but we have also no doubt, that its principle is justified by Divine teaching, and that though in this particular case the re- sult is highly questionable, the fact that English law is so im- partially aud unimpassionately administered, even in a distant colony and under such peculiar circumstances, is an honour of no ordinary sort, and ought to make the Chinese themselves favourable to a government from which they are sure to receive impartial justice. But will it be accepted in such a spirit by the Chinese Government, or is any government that is capable of suggesting wholesale poisoning deserving of any but the se- verest treatment. Unfortunately in this, as in other cases, though the severity is directed to enforce the submission of the Government, the direct, and the only direct sufferers from it are the people. -—: - O —• SWITZERLAND AND THE PRUSSIAN KING. The settlement of the " difficulty" between the Prussian King and the Swiss Republic is, we fear, not so probable as it suited the purposes of some people to proclaim. The King evades his stipulations, and varies his demands. Sometimes iudemnity is claimed as if for himself alone; sometimes he is all self- neglectful, and thinks of nothing but the Royalists, who, he persists in saying, cannot and will not live under the dominion of the Republic, That many of them have, at his earnest solici- tations, become insurrectionists, we now know— he has pro- claimed and justified the fact, and has all but admitted their motive. He affects to be anxious, not only as to them, but as to others who have not been so compromised. But the instant he is assured of their safety, he resumes the assertion of his own pretensions, and shows that all his anxieties had been concen- trated on his own interests or his own vanities. Pretending at one time to give up his claim to actual sovereignty over the Canton of Neufchatel, he still insists on retaining the title of Prince of Neufchatel. To this the Swiss most properly object. There is said to be no smoke without some fire. There certainly is no sovereign title without some danger of a claim of sove- reignty being attached to it. The Swiss know this, and rightly refuse to give the least sanction, by their formal acknowledgment of such a title, to the possibility of such a claim. Aud after what, the King of Prussia has of late years been doing, both at home and abroad, there is certainly nothing in his conduct or character that should induce them to place any, even the very slightest, degree of reliance on his assurances. If he persists in calling himself Prince of Neuf- chatel, let him do so; but they must not in any manner what- ever recognise his right to that title. He may make himself ridiculous, but they must be cautious. There is a very well known precedent for the conduct to be observed in such a case. The Kings of England for some three or four centuries called themselves Kings of France; but the title was always denied by the French, aud never, under any circumstances, or on any con- sideration of tolerant courtesy to the vanity of the English Kings, or for any great or for any little purpose, admitted even for a single moment. It was, in the first instance, kept up by the English Kings as a colour for a real claim; though, no doubt, in the latter years of tlie folly it was retained solely out of a weak fear of appearing to give up anything. All the world had, however, come to know it was of no value whatever. Such will ultimately be the case with this titular Principality; but it is not so now. Let the Swiss, therefore, act on this- precedent. Let them not refuse to treat with the King because he will call himself by a name to which he has not even the shadow of a lawful title; but let them refuse in any way whatever to reoog- nise it. Their refusal ought to be sustained by France, England, and Sardinia ; for the Treaty of Vienna is conclusive against the King. Of course Austria and Russia, which, in con- cert with Prussia, have deliberately violated that treaty when it suited their common interests to do so, are not likely to care much for justice in such a case; but the three nations we have named ought to act upon its principles. Must we say that we have some fear lest they should not do so, and that that fear arises from the tendency, more than once shown in the course of negotiations, of the French Government to deal treacherously with Switzerland ? We will not assume that this is the wilful fault of the French Emperor himself, or that lie would violate justice in order to evince a base ingratitude to the country which had so nobly protected him and his mother. But it still will be his fault, if, through his own negligence or in- difference, he allows M Walewski to injure Switzerland in order to gratify the Prussian King. This Minister has done so already, and will if he can do so again, which renders it all the more ne- cessary for the public opinion of England, through the Ministers of England, strongly to declare against the claim of the Prus- sian King, and in favour of the Swiss resistance to it. BIRTH OF A PRINCESS.— On Tuesday, at a quarter before two, her Majesty was safely delivered of a princess. There were pre- sent on the occasion in her Majesty's room, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Dr Locock, Dr Snow, and Mrs Lilly, the monthly nurse. In the adjoining apartments, besides the other medical attendants ( Sir James Clark and Dr Ferguson), were the Mistress of the Robes, the Lady in Waiting 011 the Queen, and the fol- lowing officers of State and Lords of the Privy ^ Council, viz : his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Palmerston, Sir George Grey, Earl of Clarendon, Mr Secretary Laboucliere, Lord Panmure, Sir Charles Wood, the Bishop of London, and the Marquis of Breadalbane. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Princess of Honenlohe Langenburg, arrived at the palace shortly before two o'clock. At four o'clock a Privy Council was held, at which a Prayer and Thanksgiving was ordered for the safe delivery of the Queen, to be used this Sunday during divine service. All the bulletins issued represent that her Majesty and the infant Princess are progressing most favourably. THE BANQUET TO LORD CNIEI? JUSTICE COCKBURN.— SOUTHAMPTON.— Saturday, the 25th inst, is the day fixed 011 for the banquet proposed to be given to the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas by the Chamber of Commerce of this town. THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY.— At a meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, held 011 Thursday, Captain C. E, Mangles, M. P., presiding, a dividend of £ 2 per share for the second half of 1856 was declared, with a bonus of £ 110s per share out of the amount beyond £ 200,000, standing to the credit of the insurance account, the whole free of income- tax. The discussion was principally of a congratulatory nature, the chairman having explained at length the chief items in the financial statement. With regard t © the repairs aud the deteri- oration fund it has been considered prudent to make an appro- priation of about 8 per cent, but hereafter it will be possible, it is thought, to limit the amount to 6 per cent. The success of the works for the recovery of the Tyne and the circumstances attending the loss of the Tay were alluded to, great credit being given to the engineers aud others who in the former case made the necessary arrangements. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN WHEAT.— The Melbourne Register says: " We understand that arrangements are now being made on a somewhat extensive scale for exporting wheat to England. At the prices ruling in the London market, a very good market is now presented to exporters. Taking the London averages for best wheat at 70s per quarter and the Adelaide averages at 40s, a margin of 30s remains, of which about 20s would be absorbed in expenses, leaving some 108 a quarter profit," FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. A little bye- battle between the Debats and the Union ab6ut a Protestant school attracts attention, and is not without interest. Nay, if the importance of disputes is to be measured more by the principles at stake than the ground covered by the combatants, the subject is one of 110 common interest. The Union, which is thoroughly Ultramontane— that is, thoroughly bigoted— has raised a croak about the audacity of Protestants, who have ac- tually built, at their own expense, a school for the poor in the heart of pious Catholic Paris, and built it with such cunning at- tractiveness of airy dimensions and diabolical architectural beauty as to throw the municipal schools into the shade. The consequence is that those French citizens who are so easily al- lured by whatever tickles their artistical taste, have taken quite a fancy to the heretical establishment, and five hundred little ones are sacrificed by their inconsiderate parents to the tempta- tion of cheerful and wholesome air and intellectual instruction. The Union actually cries out against what it calls persecution and oppression, and the Debate presses it hard with questions as to what it means. The Union does wish that both oppression and persecution should be exercised by the authorities against the heretical philanthropists. The newspapers have received an order to make no further reference to the case of the Bishop of Monlius. The Monit& ur publishes a tabular statement of the revenue from direct and indirect taxation, from which it appears that the revenue of the first quarter of the year 1857 exceeds by 11,202,000 francs the revenue of the corresponding quarter of last year. SWITZERLAND. TheNord of Brussels pretends to know that the four powers; heartily tired of the delay in the settlement of the Neufch& te1 question, intend to hold a conference without the Swiss and Prussian plenipotentiaries, and to draw up a proposition which they will call upon Prussia aud Switzerland to accept. The Independence confirms, this news in substance, and volunteers an opinion that this step of the mediating powers will greatly facilitate the solution of " the difficulty. A reason alleged by the Nord for the anxiety of the great powers to wind up the. Swiss matters, is that the affairs of Italy press very greatly upon their attention. The statements of these two Russian party papers are not to be trusted. They express the wishes of the despotic Governments, not more. The Neufchatel republican journal very properly demands that the Federal Assembly shall be con- sulted before any definitive resolution is taken by the Paris Con- ference. Another paper calls for public meetings, in order to prove to Prussia and Europe the enthusiasm with which the Helvetic population is disposed to maintain its good right, The Bund positively denies that the Swiss will pay any indemnity. The King is now very nrgent to bo allowed still to call himself " Prince of JfeufChfttel." It is as if our Queen wanted to call herself Duchess of Normandy. AUSTRIA. A letter from Berlin states that conversions from Catholicism to Protestantism are increasing rapidly in Austria proper since the last Concordat, and that this religious movement is gaining ground in Bohemia, Moravia, and Carinthia. The Archduke Ferdinand. Maxiniilian, ou entering on his office of Governor- General of the Lombardo- Venetian provinces, has issued a circular to the administrative authorities on the nature of their duties, and on the spirit in which they must henceforth act. Amongst other things, he recommends that the people shall be allowed to develop freely their material aud moral resources; that they shall be treated with due consider- tion and humanity; and that functionaries shall not, by exag- gerated zeal, compromise the safety of the throne and the wel- fare of the populations. The official " instructions" for the Archduke's Government are not entirely in conformity with this " circular." There has been an " amnesty" published for those officers and soldiers of the Hungarian army who deserted from the Austrian service in Italy in 1818- 9. This is the third amnesty of the kind, though it is published as if 110 other had ever been issued. The meu who returned on the faith of the others found themselves punished, not amnestied. TURKEY. The Sultan has made a present to the English Government of the ground on which the Casi no di Pera is built, but where an English church and hospital are to be constructed. The site is an excellent one. At Kirkilisi there has been a revolt in a harem, where the fair dames declare they will no longer pay obedience to harem laws, and announce to the Pasha their intention of adopting the Frankish costume for the future. Could this reform become universal, Turkey would be saved ; for children are brought up and taught at first by women. The European commissioners to inquire into the best mode of improving the channel between the Danube aud the Black Sea have already commenced their labours. Which arm of the river is to be adopted, whether the Sulina, or the St George, or the St Andrew, is not yet settled; but it is thought that the St George's channel will be the one fixed upon. They have built houses at Toultcka for the several members of the commission and their attendants, and an engineer has left for the Duchy of Hesse to eagage 2,000 families as labourers. The Turkish Go- vernment is to pay all present and future expenses, whioh are to be repaid by a toll ou vessels; the toll itself and the charges for pilotage to be fixed by the commissioners at such a rate that both interest aud capital shall be gradually paid off. There nas been another act of piracy in the Constantinople Harbour. A Dutch brig, under the command of Captain Niew- Z wag, was at anchor close to the corner of the Seraglio-; a boat crept up, with seven pirates in it, and they climbed up the deck. There was only a cabin- boy 011 the look- out, and possibly his eyes were very heavy. He was felled to the deck by the villains, but his cry alarmed the captain, who was at supper with his mate, and who instantly stole up, perceived the armed pirates, and returned to his cabin for the purpose of arming himself. One of the band pursued him with his uplifted yataghan, crying out " Moneta," but the captain had seized a pistol, and replied with a shot that wounded the pursuer. The pirate struck out, but had his hand cut off by the mate's cutlass. Roused by the report of the pistol, the seamen sprang upon the deck, and, although attacked by the pirates, after a desperate conflict, in which the cook and two of the sailors received several wounds, the crew gained the upper hand. A parley ensued, and the pirates demanded thebodyof their comrade, whom they thought slain, and the captain answered their demand by wounding another with a second shot. They jumped into their boat, the captain sounded the alarm, but the fellows have again escaped without leaving a trace of their whereabouts. The bravery of the captain and his crew cannot be too highly praised; but it is lamentable to think that no security can be attained in these waters unless by the constant vigilance of the captains and their own crews, for the Government seems powerless to arrest these piratical proceedings, THE PRINCIPALITIES. A very flattering address has been presented to Sir Henry Buhver by the Boyards, and he has returned a very excellent answer, urging on all the inhabitants of the Principalities en- tirely to forget party spirit and individual interests or inclina- tions, and to endeavour thereby to show that they are really fit to enjoy those free institutions of which, as possessed by Eng- land, they speak with such high approbation. UNITED STATES. The following statement affords a proof that by ingenious men there is nothing which cannot be turned to a good use. A few years ago one of the Oriental princes sent a present of four fine camels to the Government of the United States. What practical utility these picturesque denizens of the Eastern desert were to be in " the fresh virgin world of the West, neither the prince nor the Government could for some time ascertain. However, the camels were placed at the disposal of the department of war, and sent to Texas, where they were put to some use in one or more surveys made of that southern portion of our empire. At last, however, somebody suggested that it would be well, if we were getting into this Oriental way of doing things, to get camels enough to do some good. Consequently, money was ap- propriated, at the request of the Secretary of War, and a na- tional vessel put into requisition ( with proper commissioners on board), to sail up the Mediterranean into the Levant, and pur- chase thirty- six of the best camels that could be found. Some time during the warm weather of last autumn, the camels ar- rived in the United States, and were sent round to the genial climate of Texas to winter, and are now waiting to fulfil that interesting mission by transporting materials across the desert ( 150 miles each way) for the construction of the telegraph. In 110 other manner could the work have been done. There are to be thirty poles of connection to the mile instead of fifteen, the usual number; and it is estimated that the forty camels cau easily do the Desert transportation in forty days, if necessary, while along all the portions of the route rendered difficult by absence of water, they will keep a constant supply. It is estimated that on no portion of the line will the actual cost which the company incurs exceed two dollars a pole, and that is as cheap as any company has ever been able to get them. One of the most important points in the construction should not be overlooked. The company will have the benefit of block forts every twenty miles, and police guards at every station. The New York Herald states that the present position of affairs in China is under consideration of the United States Cabinet. The British Minister at Washington had been in com- munication with the United States Government, with the design of effecting a tripartite alliance of England, France, and the United States— the three leading commercialjpowers of the world — for the protection of mutual interests, the promotion of com- merce, and civilisation in China. THE NEW PARLIAMENT, THE OVERLAND MAIL. SEPOY DISAFFECTION.— 1The Calcutta llurkaru thus notices the mutinies of which mention was made in our telegraphic summary :—" Some time ago the native troops at Barrack pore exhibited considerable excitement, in consequence of an idea which prevailed among them that their cartridges were greased with beef suet instead of mutton fat, it being pollution for a Hindoo to touch the former ; after a time they were convinced they had been deceived in the matter, and quietly returned to their former habits of obedience and discipline. A bad feeling has since arisen among the men of the 19th Native Infantry, at Herharnpore, who, we understand, were by last accounts in a state nearly approaching mutiny, but fortunately the corps of Irregular Cavalry at the same station continues loyal, and is pre- pared to support its officers in any measures the Commander- in- Chief may see fit to adopt for the purpose of coercing the mu- tineers into obedience. Great numbers of the sepoys of the Bengal army are natives of Oude, where their families still reside, and an absurd rumour prevails that the recent unplea- santnesses we have mentioned have been occasioned by the intrigues of certain discontented people connected with that country, but the idea is thoroughly preposterous." THE PERSIAN EXPEDITION.— Our news from Bushire is to the 1st of March. The troops were in good health, and the for- tifications rapidly progressing at that date. The Persians were said to have assembled a second time in force at the foot of the hills, but whether General Outrarn would be diverted to attack them again was doubtful. Provisions were pi- ntiful, but dear, the camp being all but entirely dependent upon the commissa- riat for supplies. The following troops had left India since, the last Overland Mail, or were under orders to embark, viz:— The Scinde Horse, from Kurrachee, 800 strong, under Bri- gadier- General Jacob, and H. M. 14th Light Dragoons, 600 strong, from Bombay. These two regiments would bring up General Outram's cavalry force to nearly 2,000 sabres. The artillery had been strengthened by the despatch of the 3d com- pany or the 2d battalion; and the 7th and 25th Regiments Bom- bay Native Infantry and the 1st Madras Fusiliers were under orders to embark without delay. The 3d Bombay Europeans had been held back at the point of embarkation. On the embarkation of the troops at Bushire, the Bombay Times remarks:—" At the date of our last advices, which bring our intelligence down to the 1st inst, rapid preparations were being made to embark the chief part of the force at Bushire, for an expedition to the river Karun. It is here that Persia is vulnerable, and here only, and the men who have been specu- lating on an advance upon Shiraz, Ispahan, and Tehran, are altogether at sea. The Kuran, which falls into the gulf just after its junction with the waters of the Tigris at Mohammerah, is a noble stream, navigable for at least two hundred miles, and flowing through one of the most fertile districts of Persia. CANADIAN EMIGRATION.— It appears that the circulars ad- dressed by the Minister of Agriculture to the different muni- cipal authorities throughout the country 011 the subject of em- ployment for newly arrived emigrants, have been answered by many— showing a want of 10,000 male, 4,000 female, and 5,000 boys and girls, irrespective of a number of mechanics. This in- formation, with what may further be received, is most valuable, and will assist and facilitate much the distribution of the emi- gration anticipated this coming season. However, let none think of wending their way hitherwards who have not resolutely made up their minds to work. The idle and dissolute had better stay where they are— we want them not; the strong, the wil- ling, and the prudent we shall welcome cordially, and say, " Be of good cheer." They will enter upon a field of great promise, but where they must look for no miracles to help them along. If their wheels get stuck in a rut, Jupiter will not come down to help them out of their difficulty— their own shoulders must do the work. Four million acres of land have been surveyed in Upper Canada, and will be offered for sale at low prices and on easy terms to settlers,— Canadian N& W$< The elections throughout the United Kingdom are now com* pleted wit1* the sole exception or the county of Leitrim, the nomination for which, in consequence of some formal difficulties, does not take place until Monday next.

THE DRAMA. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— On Tuesday Her Majesty's Theatre was once more opened to the public under the manage- ment of Mr Lumley. The house was crowded. All the boxes and stalls were occupied ; every item of the entertainment was received with unequivocal signs of gratification ; the lessee was enthusiastically called ; so were the principal vocalists ; not a single manifestation of success was wanting. Respecting the new tenor, Signor Giuglini, who made his first appearance in " La Favorita," the greatest curiosity prevailed, it being feared by many persons that he was merely one of those who, although much vaunted in Italy or Spain, prove, when heard at Her Majesty's Theatre, to be merely vocalists of second or third- rate talent. Fortunately, however, all fears on this head were at once dissipated on his execution of the very first air. The com- pass of the voice was evidently extensive, and, moreover, even throughout, without any breaks in the high or low places, the notes all came from the chest, the intonation was faultless, and the tender emotions of the earlier scenes were expressed with genuine feeling; but when, discovering that his King has fobbed hirn off with an unworthy marriage, the newly- made noble dashes his order upon the ground, and breaks his sword across his knee, there was a spirit in Signor Giuglini's action, and a force in his voice, from which it was easy to be seen that the gentle lover of the first act had given slight hints rather than full demonstrations of his strength. The pleasure of the audience was heightened to admiration, and great things were expected in the third ( properly the fourth) act, where the lovers meet in the convent, and renew the protestations of au affection that has been so sadly crossed. The beautiful air, " Spirito Gentil," was given with the most exquisite feeling imaginable. A unanimous demand for an encore immediately followed the conclusion of the air, and consideration for the singer alone prevented the honour from being repeated. When the curtain fell three enthusiastic calls brought Signor Giuglini and Mademoiselle Spezia as many times to the lamps, aud then the audience summoned Mr Lumley into their pre- sence and honoured him with a thunder of congratulations. Mademoiselle Spezia, who played Leonora, is an actress of great energy, and made a considerable sensation by the details of the dying scene in the last act. Her voice, most extensive in its register, is not remarkable for flexibility, and her attention has probably been directed more to dramatic expression than to the mere effects of vocalisation. The spirit with which she inter- preted the character completely gained for her the sympathies of the audience, and, though Siguor Giuglini was the " lion" of the evening, she had every reason to be satisfied with her recep- tion. The new dancer, Mdlle Pocchini, who appeared as La Esmeralda, was perfectly successful, and, although she had to struggle against reminiscences of Carlotta Grisi, in " La Truan- daise," she had every reason to be satisfied with the reception she encountered. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.— Mr Gye, on Tuesday night, once more opened the doors of the Lyceum Theatre for the reception of his patrons. Mr Gye had hoped to obtain Drury Lane Theatre for the season, but circumstances over which he had no control unfortunately compelled him once more to fall back upon the smaller arena for the exercise of his talent as a manager. The interior of the theatre has been tastefully and handsomely redecorated during the brief interval allowed for operations since the secession of Mr Dillon's histrionic company; and the official announcement that " the boxes and stalls have been ren- dered more commodious" is not without warrant. In fact, there is au air of comfort as well as of elegance about the audience department, which was in a great measure wanting last season. Other improvements call for notice, not the least significant of which is the new approach to the pit through the principal entrance in Wellington- street. By means of this judicious arrangement a communication between pit and boxes is established, and the agreeable intercourse that gives such a charm to the opera, and the want of which was recently so much deplored, ceases to be an impossibility. There was no feature of particular novelty in the opening night. The orchestra, as usual, was led by Costa, whose appearance was the signal for a vociferous round of applause. The first few chords at once proclaimed the band the same as that which last season, in spite of its inevitably reduced proportions, enforced the unanimous acknowledgment of its undiminished excellence. The familiar faces of Sainton, Dando, Mellon, Lucas, Howell, Pratten, Lazarus, the Harpers, Barret, and others, inspired im- mediate confidence ; and, while the absence of two performers of the highest rank to whom the habitues had baen accustomed since 1847 was marked with expressions of regret, no one doubted that the places of Hill and Baumann, principal viola and bassoon ( both of whom died last summer), would, under Mr Costa's di- rection, be assigned to competent successors. A word must record that no perceptible difference was remarked in the chorus one way or the other. The opera was " I Puritani," in which Grisi played Elvira, Gardoni Arturo, Graziani Ricardo, Taglia- fico Giorgio, Polonini Valton. With such a cast it is needless to say the opera was excellently performed, and, although Gar- doni and Graziani were suffering from hoarseness, still they executed their portions of . the music in a satisfactory mariner. The house, of course, was crowded. CRYSTAL PALACE.— The arrangements made by the directors of the Crystal Palace for the forthcoming season have just beeu published, and speak highly for the tact and energy of the new management. A series of special entertainments are devised which cannot fail to be of great interest to various sections of the public, but are likely to materially improve the financial con- dition of the company. The advertisement which contains the programme of intentions, and to which, for fuller information, we refer our readers, opens with the intimation that the Royal Italian Opera concerts will recommence on the 1st of May, to be continued every Friday for twelve weeks, terminating on the 31st of July. These concerts will not, as before, take place in the nave of the palace, but be given in the great transept, in the district, we presume, now being prepared for the Handelian ce- lebration, Arrangements have also been entered iuto with the Cologne Choral Union, aud a performance by that accomplished troop of male vocalists is announced for the 6th of June. The grand waterworks, including the entire system of fountains, cascades, and jets d'eaux, will be resumed at intervals, the smaller displays to take place daily, as in 1856. The first flower show will be held 011 the 30th of May, and the second on the 9th of September and two following days. There will also be a summer and a winter poultry show. The great event of the season will, however, be the Handel Festival, which will take place under the especial patronage of her Majesty and Prince Albert. The orchestra on this occasion will contain upwards of 2,300 performers— a most gigantic assemblage, and wholly with- out parallel in the annals ef concert giving. The three oratorios of which this festival is to consist, will be given on June 15th, 17th, and 19th- TROOPS FOR CHINA.— The steam troopship Himalaya, Com- mander Haswcll, embarked the head- quarters of the 90tty Regi- ment alongside Portsmouth dockyard, 011 Wednesday, amount- ing to 900, making, with her ship's company, about 1,100 persons, and droppod out to Spithead, which she left on Tnursday morning for China. The troops seemed most comfortably berthed, and supplied with comforts not known to troops em- opinion of the Lords of the Admiralty 011 the evidence furnished by the Court of Inquiry, held on Good Friday, was promulgated 011 board 011 Monday, and acquits the commander and master from all blame in the accident which has caused the ship's detention. The Charity, No. 1 steam transport, went out of Portsmouth harbour ou Tuesday morning, laden with provisions and stores for China, for which destination she sailed, carrying out to the Cape of Good Hope Rear- Admiral the Hon Sir F. W. Grey, K. C. B., and Staff, to relieve Rear- Admiral Trotter in the com- mand- in- chief oii; that station. Colonel theHouW. L. Pakenham, C. B., who, it will be recollected, was Adjutant- General during the latter part of the war in the Crimea, and who has been ap- pointed in the same capacity to ihe. Militarv Expedition destined to act against Ch; na, has departed for Hong Kong. Colonel Wetberail, C. B., Quartermaster- General, also left for the seat of war a few days back. Both officers were to have embarked at Marseilles on Sunday for Alexandria. Two troops of the military train, recently arrived at Woolwich from the Curragh, under orders for China, were on Monday morning exercised at the long range in the Arsenal Marsh, in a series of 3- pounaer battery prac- tice. The two remaining troops of the corps at Woolwich were assembled on the Royal Artillery- parade, and went through a course of carbine drill, under the direction of non- commissioned officers of the Artillery. The whole of the Royal Marine bat- talions were on Monday morning drawn up in the Barrack square at head quarters in distinct companies, aud having been ( in- spected by the commandant, Colonel Brown, they were marched to Woolwich Common, and were put through the manoeuvres of a field day's inspection. The troopships Neleus and Mooresfort, at Woolwich, were on Monday morning officially surveyed prior to the embarkation of the four corupanies'of ariillery for China. The vessels were prouounced well adapted for the purpose, and have beeu engaged by Government for six mouths certain, at the rate of 20s per ton monthly; consequently, the Mooresfort, Captain Coulthurst, of 1,200 tons burden, is hired at £ 1,200 per month. She is fitted for the accommodation of 14 officers, 280 rank and file, and six other passengers, and is to carry about 300 tons of baggage,, brass guns, s. nd other war stores. DEATH OP MAJOR- GENEKAL BUNBURY.— The death of this distinguished officer took place on Monday last. The gallant general led the storming party at Forts Frederick and Zelanden, as a volunteer, at the capture of Surinam, in 1804. He served in the campaign of 1814 in Holland, including the attack on Merxem, and the bombardment of the French fleet at Antwerp. He served also in the American war. He became a captain in November, 1808 ; major in April, 1814.; lieutenant- colonel in July, 1821; colonel in January, 1837; aud major- general in November, 1846. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN.— This 131 gun screw will be launched from Portsmouth Dockyard on the 25th inst, according to present orders, and preparations are being made for the event. She is not so large as the Marlborough. Their several principal dimensions are as follow:— Royal Sovereign. Marlborough. Ft. In. Ft. In. Length.. 279 10 .... 245 6 Breadth 60 0i .... 61 0 Depth of Hold 25 4 .... 25 2 Burden in tons 3,765 .... 4,067 HEALTH OP LONDON.— The deaths registered in the week ending April 11, were 1,059, being 155 less than the average. Ty- phus carried off 50 persons, hooping cough 50, scarlatina 23, bronchitis 113, pneumonia 81. The births were— 835 boys, and 773 girls— total 1,608. THE INCORPORATED SOCIETY OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS.— The annual presentation dinner of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers took place on Thursday, at the Feathers Tavern, Waterloo Bridge, on which occasion Mr Edward Roun- tree, the retiring governor of the society, received from his col- leagues a splendid memorial of their high appreciation of the great efforts he had made during his year of office, just expired, to promote the interests of the institution, and of the esteem which he had gained from the trade at large, in the fulfilment of the arduous duties of the chair.— Mr Gabb has been elected the governor for the ensuing year. THE BATTLE AT KHOOSHAB.— A letter from Bombay, of the 19th ult, says \—" The charge of the 3d Cavalry on the above oc-' casion has called forth the admiration of a Bengal officer, who cites it in proof of what horsemen, well led, cau do against infantry." Aftsr describing the formation of the Persiau square as excellent, steady, and untouched by artillery, lie proceeds ( in a letter to a Calcutta paper) with the following vivid description of the charge :—" When Forbes, who commanded this regiment, gave the order to charge, he and his adjutant, young Moore, plac d themselves in front of the 6th troop, which was the one directly opposite the nearest face of the square. The other Moore, Malcolmson, and Spens came the least thing behind, riding knee ta knee, with spurs in their horses'flanks, as if racing after a hog. In rear of them rushed the dark troopers of the 3d, mad to avenge the death of poor Malet at Bushire. In spite of steel, fire, and bullets they tore down upon the nearest face of the devoted square. As they approached, Forbes was shot through the thigh and Spen's horse was wounded; but, unheeding. they swept onward. Daunted by the flashes and the fire and the noise and crackle of the musketry, the younger Moore's horse swerved as they came up. Dropping his sword from his hand and letting it hang by the knot at his wrist, he caught up the reins in both hands, screwed his head straight, and then coolly, as if riding at a fence, leapt him at the square. If, therefore, any man can be said to have been first, the younger Moore is that man. Of course the horse fell stone dead upon the bayonets ; so did his brother's, ridden with equal courage and determination. The elder Moore— 18st in weight, and 6ft 7in, or thereabouts, in hcight— cut his way out on foot. Malcolmson took one foot out of his stirrup when he saw his brother officer down and unarmed ( for his sword had been broken to pieces by the fall), and, holding 011 to that, the younger Moore escaped. The barrier once broken, and the entrance once made, in and through it poured the avenging troopers. On and over everything they rode, till, getting clear out, they reformed 011 the other side, wheeled, and swept back— a second wave of ruin. Out of 500 Persian soldiers of the 1st Regular Regiment of Fars, who composed that fated square, only 20 escaped to tell the tale of its destruction. Thus the 3d Linht Cavalry, to use their own phrase, gave our enemies ' a jewab ( answer) for the death of Malet Sakib Bahadur.' " ANOTHER MURDER AT MAIDSTONE.— A few weeks ago great excitement was occasioned in Maidstone by the murder of a young man named Edwards, by his own brother, and the town has now been alarmed by the commission of a second murder, the victim in this case being a young woman, named Elizabeth Jones, who lived in lodgings in Wharf- lane, and who bore a light charactor. It appears that early on Thursday morning week the deceased, with her sister, Margaret Jones, were ou board the barge Industry, lying off the Lock Meadows, on the river Med- way, in company with a man named Charles Chumley. An altercation took place between Chumley and Margaret Jones, when the former struck the latter a severe blow over the eye with a broomstick. Elizabeth rose to interpose, and was beaten by Chumley over the head until she became insensible. Infor- mation was subsequently given by Margaret Jones to the police, who proceeded to the barge and fouud the deceased lying in the cabin insensible, and bleeding profusely from the back part of the head. Mr Superintendent Blundell directed her removal to the infirmary, but she was refused admission, upon wiiich she was conveyed to her own lodgings in Wharf- lane. As there was no bed in the room, the poor woman was laid upon some chairs until Mr Superintendent Blundell waited upon Colonel Griffiths, at the Cavalry depot, who kindly sent down a mattress. The deceased was attended by Mr Saunders, the surgeon of the police force, but, in spite of every attention, she died at half- past two o'clock 011 Monday morning. On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held at the New Inn, by Mr Kipping, the borough coroner, when a verdict of wilful murder was retnrned against Chumley, and the jury expressed surprise that the deceased should have been refused admission to the infirmary after the repeated re- monstrances of the police authorities, aud considering the ur- gency of the case. Chumley was taken into custody on Wed- nesday morning. GETTING OUT OP RAILWAY CARRIAGES WHEN IN MOTION.— At the county sessions at Ashton, on Saturday week, Alfred Swarm, of Preston, overlooker, was charged with this offence 011 the London and North- Western Railway, at Denton. It seems that when the train arrived at Denton 011 Thursday night week, the defendant was told that the next station was Stockport, but, being intoxicated, he believed he had arrived at Stockport, and, though the train was in motion and a porter endeavoured to prevent his alighting, he got out of the carriage and endeavoured to pull a companion with him, during which he and the porter fell 011 the floor. Fortunately, the station- master sawithe whole transaction, and prevented the train going at its usual speed, and ultimately stopped it, or the porter and the defendant might have been seriously hurt or killed. The defendant was fined 10s and costs. A similar case is reported at Wolverhampton, where, at the borouch police- court, 011 Monday, John Donald, a shingler from Westbromwich, was charged by the Great Western station- master with attempting to defraud the company, and also with endangering his life by getting out of one of the carriages when in motion. It appeared that 011 Sunday evening the de- fendant had taken a third- class ticket at Birmingham for West- bromwich ; he was drunk, and, instead of getting into a third class carriage, he got into a first and fell asleep. lie did not leave the train at Westbromwich, as he should have done, and, on col- lecting the tickets at Priestflelds, the guard found Incn still asleep in the carriage. The guard had great difficulty in awaking hitn and getting his ticket from him, and, having at length ma- naged to do so, he locked him in the carriage for safe custody to Wolverhampton. When the train arrived there he was asto- nished to find the carriage empty, aud on inquiry it turned out that the defendant, although druuk, had got out at the window of the carriage, and was attempting to pass along the steps of the coaches, when he was perceived and forcibly pulled in by the occupants of the next compartment. There were several bridges and a tunnel between Priestfields and Wolverhampton, and it is almost miraculous that the man was not killed. The magistrates ordered him to pay 40s and costs, and, not having the means ol doing so, he was removed in custody. MORE FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENTS.— Between one aud two o'clock on Thursday morning week, an accident occurred at Greenlawalls new colliery, near Duddo, about ten miles west of Berwick. It appears that the working of this colliery had approached too near that of the old one, which has been out of working order for a considerable time, and had consequently filled with water. The division between the two pits not being strong enough to resist the weight of water, gave way, and burst into the other, where there were five meu working, and, melan- choly to relate, all have perished. The names of the men are Thomas Patterson, John Robson, Andrew Oliver, and two young men of the name of Hogarth; and all, with the exception of one, are married, and some of them have left families.— On Sa- turday week au explosion took place at the Bredbury New Pit, near Stockport. The fire rushed along the various workings, and frightfully burnt those of the colliers who had not taken the precaution to throw themselves on their faces. A man named Holworth and his two boys were both killed, not, it is supposed, by the fire, but by the choking vapours which succeeded the explosion. Without a moment's delay the cage was hoisted and the living men were taken up from the shaft, many of them being horribly disfigured. After nearly an hour all were thus taken out, with the exception of the Hoi worths. An unfortunate delay then occurred in consequence of the sulphur having be-, come so strong in the pit as to prevent the men going down. At length, however, ventilation was so far restored as to enable them to descend, and shortly after ten o'clock the bodies of Holworth and his sons were recovered. The father breathed once after he was taken out, but the two sons were quite dead. Of the other men five were severely wounded. There is very little doubt that the lamentable accident was caused by the culpable negligence of one of ttie men in working with his naked candle. EASTER AMUSEMENTS. As we stated in our last, the programmes put- forth by the London managers for the gratification of the holiday folks pre- sented few featurfcs. pf novelty, but still the attractions offered were such as to ensure full and eohtented audiences at almost all the theatres and other places of amusement. According to annual custom, we shall lay before our readers an a. count of everything calling for notice; hut owing t « the extraordinary pressure of sporting intelligence, we must be very brief in our remarks, aud most confine them as regards the theatres to those establishments at which anything in the shape of a new piece was produced. • v . HAYMARKET THEATRE.— The Easter piece produced here was one- of the most successful of jts kind we ever witnessed. The fable of " Atalanta apd the Golden Apples," by the aid of which Hipporaenes outstripped her in the race, and won with it her hand, is too well known to need detkikhere. The main inci- dents of the story, so prettily narrated by Ovid, have been pre- served by the author; but there have been added incidents and characters not to be found in the classical original. Among the modern ingraftings is the character of Pedagogos, tutor to Hip- p^ isenes, and very humorously portrayed' by Mr Compton. The part of Hippomenes was suitably sustained by Miss ® llen Teman, who made her first appearance, aud produced a most favourable impression. Another very successful first appearance was the young lady who assumed the character of Cupid. Miss Marie Wilton looked the boy- god to the life, and performed with a great deal of archness and spirit. It is but fair to snentiah as deserving of all praise the Atalanta of Miss M. Oliver. The scenery was very pretty. One scene more especially, the Race Course and the Contest, was both pretty and exciting. As to the author's part, it is only justice to say that he has been most successful. The phns come fast and furious, and seldom miss their mark. The piece is likely to h^ ve along life, and with it a merry one. The housewas filled in evt- ry part. ADELPHI THEATRE!— Here Madame Celeste re- appeared, after a long absence, but nothing liew was produced for the occasion. SURREY THEATRE.— The new drama—" The Iron Arm".— pro* duced here, was entirely successful. . The house was crowded. ASTLEY'S THEATRE.— The new spectacle—" The French in Algiers"— which inaugurated the summer season- at this house called into play all Mr Cooke's far- famed stud of horses and the whole of his talented company. It bids fair to rival every thing of the kind yet introduced. THE CRYSTAL PALACE.-— Though there is noplace of enter- tainment in the metroj) olis which would appear to be so in- dependent of the weatteer, so far as regards the enjoyment of the visitors, as the Crystal Palace, yet the clouds bad their in- fluence on Monday', and the attendance was not so uunaerous as might have been anticipated. The habitues of the place, however, could observe some difference in its appearance.. In the centre transept extensive preparations are being made for the forthcoming Hanelel festival— a gallery being erected for the 2,500 performers who are to officiate on that occasion. And those whose visits to th'fepalaee baVe been " few and fty be tween" would find many hoVelties. Amongst these We may enumerate the naval gallery, which contains many specimens of naval architecture, and the mammoth tree, the bark of which is erected to about one- third of the original height of the tree, in the north transept. The special entertainments of the day . were entirely of a musical character, the band of the, company and the band of the Royal Artillery giving no less than four concerts, which appeared to afford great satisfaction to the audi- tors. The attendance during the day was about eleven thousand. A number far exceeded by that of Tuesday, when the elements were more propitious. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S PARK.— The noble ardour for zoology which burns in every British breast was not to be daunted on Monday by rain or wind. The attendance at the gardens was in fact numbered in thousands. The monkey- house was a great attraction -, and those who take an interest in Pro- fessor Owen's treatise on antbromophous apes will be £ iad to learn that a line chimpanzee has just arrived, to replace his revered predecessor who died three or four years ago, lamented by all who knew him. This popular exhibition seems to be growing every year still more popular. CREMORSE GARDENS.— This highly popular place of amuse- ment opened ou Monday, and, despite the weather, was thronged with visitors. In the early part of the day, fortunately, prome- uading was not only practicable- but enjoyable, aud one had then the opportunity of perceiving that the whole of the gardens had beeu re- decorated and improved, aud that the paintings had been renovated. A military band, which was stationed '" in the gardens, gave considerable zest to the promenade. The in- door performances consisted of a vocal and instrumental concert, which appeared to give every satisfaction; a ballet; a per- formance by negro melodists; au exhibition of thirty cosmoramic views, principally of France and the Crimea. In addition to this there was a highly interesting canine performance. A dog, Lilly is her name, excited considerable astonishment by playing at whist and dominoes with several of the company. The fire- works, which formed a part of the programme, unfortunately could not " gooff," the weather being literally a . damper so far as they were concerned, but in every other respect the pro- gramme was strictly adhered to, and the entertainments" ap- peared to give every satisfaction to the visitors, and we have little doubt will continue to do so throughout the season. THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION was crowded during the day with troops of visitors, who enjoyed the rich variety of enter- tainments presented to them. THE COLOSSEUM.— The visitors to this national resort were far more numerous than the dispiriting character of the weather would have led one to expect. The grand panorama of London, however it may have failed artistically, appeared still fresh and iuexhaustible in the eyes of the numerous spectators. The pic- torial portion of the entertainment, too, was deservedly ap- plauded. This now includes a series of dissolving views, en- titled " The Halls and Mansions of the English Nobility," the interest of which is enhanced by songs and descriptions of the olden time, by Mr George Buckiand. The cyclorama of Lisbon, before and after the celebrated earthquake of 1755, forms a most attractive feature, and at its termination on Monday afternoon it was manifestly felt by all to be a most gratifying finale to the performance. In the evening there was a concert by the or- chestra of the Crystal Palace, under the direction of Herr Manns, in which a well selected programme, vocal and instrumental, was provided for the audience. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION attracted multitudes of visitors. The spacious and elegantly decorated rooms were con- stantly full, and every remarkable group of figures was sur- rounded by an admiring crowd. This was especially the case with the effigies of notorious criminals— the murderers, fraudu- lent bankers, public defaulters, and other such personages— which havereceutly been added to the collection. England pos- sesses few exhibitions more curious or interesting than that of Madame Tussaud. GORDON CUMMING'S EXHIBITION.— Of all the exhibitions which have run the gauntlet of public com petition during the last few years, none has retained its place more firmly than that in which " the lion- hunter," whose feats are now of world- wide reputation, enacts over again his wonderful deeds in the remote wilds of Africa. Illustrating as it does what may be termed the romance of natural history, its attractions for the juvenile por- tion of the community, with whom that field of knowledge forms the favourite study, are immense. In Mr Cumming's own share in the matter there is everything calculated to perpetuate the attraction. As the actual hero of the exploits presented, he throws into the scenery all the vividness of personal experience, and his narrative is moreover now assisted by pictorial repre- sentations, as well as the relics of animals, which bring the eye in aid of the ear and the imagination. As a holiday entertain- ment it seems specially suited for the masses, who are ordinarily too much occupied with their owa affairs to avail themselves of such recreations ; and in spite of the inclement weather on Monday— weather in which snow contended with rain for the mastery— there was a full attendance. GREAT GLOBE, LBICESTER- SQUARE.— Several hundreds of persons visited the views of the principal cities of Europe and the East, the sunny landscapes on the Rhine, and the model of the earth, which arc here exhibited. These, with the instruc- tive geographical lecture, the Eastern museum, trophies of war, and the diorama of Russia, recently added, together form as cheap and satisfactory a shilling's- worth of attraction as is to be met with in the metropolis. TOM THUMB — The levees of General Tom Thumb were at- tended by an unusual number of persons, and, notwithstanding the weather, the great majority of his visitors were children, who all seemed much taken with the quaintness and mimicries of this very singular manikin. I BURFORD'S PANORAMA.— AS many persons visited this exhi- bition 011 Monday as could well be expected. The picture of the entry of the Emperor of Russia into Moscow was the object of considerable admiration. TNE ST JAMES'S THEATRE.— This house will positively be sold by auction on Tuesday next, by Mr Robins, at his rooms in Covent- garden. PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.— We understand the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex have consented to support the Duke of Wellington, who presides at the next anniversary dinner of the " Printers'Pension Society," which takes place outhe22d of May, and that the printer to the House of Commons ( Henry Hansard, Esq), and the printers to the Hon East India Company ( J. A. D. Cox, Esq, hon sec to the Association of Master Printers, and Charles Wyman, Esq), are among the names of stewards. We trust this dinner, the proceeds of which are to be appro- priated to augment the sum given over by Dr Millman, Dean of St Paul's, to form a living memorial to the memory of William Caxton ( the first English printer), will not only be numerously attended, but eminently successful, thereby enabling the com- mittee to carry out their desire of making a Gaston pensioner of not less than £ 25 per annum. FREE LIBKARY AT LIVERPOOL.— MUNIPICENT GIFT.— On Wednesday Mr Brown, M. P. for South Lancashire, laid the first stone of a new free library and museum at Liverpool, which is to be erected entirely at his own cost; and ou Thursday a ban- quet was given by the town to Mr Brown, as some mark of its appreciation of the munificence displayed by that gentleman by his princely gift, was held at St George's Hall, Upwards of 800 persons were present, the principal table being occupied by Lord Stanley, General Sir Harry Smith, Lord Talbot, Sir J. Pakington, Mr Monckton Milnes, Mr Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Bishop of Chester, Sir J. P. K. Shuttleworth, Major- General the Hon Sir Edward Cust, & c. NEW READING- ROOM AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM.— We un- derstand from good authority that the present reading- rooms of the British Museum will not be used for the purposes of study after the 30th inst. During the first week in May, when the Museum will be closed as usual, the library of reference will be removed from its present locality to the new reading room ; and, in order to avoid unnecessary interruption while this operation is being carried on, no stranger will be admitted to the libraries for any purpose whatever. O11 the 8th of May the new reading- room will be thrown open to the public generally, who will be allowed to visit it freely until the 16th, after which day it will be devoted exclusively to the use of the readers. This arrangement will involve the loss of a few days to students, but it is antici- pated that it will afford much gratification to multitudes who would otherwise have little chance of seeing a building of which competent judges say the nation ought to be proud. As the en- trance to the new reading- room is through the front hall, it will be necessary that readers should bring their tickets of admission with them until they have become known to the door- keepers. BREAKDOWN ON THE GREAT NORTHERN.— Between seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, as a long coal train was proceeding from Tuxford to Carlton, on its way to London, an axle of one of the trucks broke, and sixteen of the waggons were thrown off the line by the violence of the recoil. Both lines were completely blocked for a considerable distance, and shortly after the accident a down passenger train from King's Cross came in sight, but was stopped by the timely use of signals. The pas- sengers were, however, delayed upwards of two hours before a single line could be opened, and the next passenger train which came up was retarded for a similar period. The traffic was re- sumed as usual on Wednesday morning. AUSTRALIA.— The following are extracts from a letter ad- dressed by Sir George Stephen to Messrs Butterworth of Fleet- street :—" We have about 80 barristers aud 260 attorneys. Per- haps 50 of the former, and 200 of the latter, get business— this may enable you to judge of our law market. Some of the attor- neys make very large incomes— from £ 7,000 to £ 14,000 per annum. There may be half a dozen who are thus prosperous. The bulk of them, perhaps, realise from £ 800 to £ 1,860, and some few scarcely earn a subsistence. Among the barristers there are three, perhaps four, who make £ 5,000 per annum, about a dozen who make from £ 2,000 to £ 3,000, and the rest who get anything vary from £ 1,000 to £ 2,000. Many, however, get little or nothing, and several have lately abandoned the pro- fession as a hopeless case. You may rely 011 this as a substantially accurate report of our professional position, if any of yuur friends make inquiry of you on the subject. The large majority both of barristers and attorneys are Irish, but the leading men in either branch are English. We have none of the first class, either as lawyers or advocates, but there are many who would cut a respectable figure in Westminster Hall, though there is certainly 110 excess of forensic decorum. Labourers, mechanics, and servants, obtain very high wages here, but a guinea a day is scarcely equal to two guineas a week in England, such is the extravagant price of lodging and most of the necessaries of life. The average earnings of a gold- digger do not amount to £ 100 per annum, for which lie works about ten hours a day, and very hazardous work it is. Land that is accessible is scarcely to be purchased at any price. Your house in Fleet- street would com- mand a rent probably of £ 1,000 per annum in Melbourne. I have known walnuts sold at lid each, and only to- day I saw a teaspoonful of cucumber seeds sold for Is. Beer, often not drinkable, is about Is. a pint. The bindiug of a law book, large octavo, is 12s per volume. These little things are never men- tioned in the newspapers lest emigrants should take alarm." 4 BEEFS IilFE m UmTtON, AOPRIL 19,1857. SFOETXNG CHRONICLE. [ TOWN EDITION.] THE TURF. THE NEWMARKET CRAVEN AND YORK SPRING MEETINGS. TO TUB BfclTOB O? BELL'S LIFE Iff L6NDOS. Sifi: The '• Craven Week," contrary to expectation, turned, out far superior to many we have witnessed at " head quarters" of late years, the Plates having filled well, whilst each of the great races bf. the day possessed tome feature of interest, more or- less connected with the Derby. Still, I- question, sir, if as yefewe ar& much better informed oil that race than we were last week, asGlenmasspn beat nothing, and Rosa Bonheur's form would go- to show that the Criterion running was correct; and that, with the exception of Blink Bonny and Loyola, all the two y4ar olds of last year were too close together to enable any one to decide upon- their respective superiority. Therefore, notwith- standing the tronderful trials which are stated to have recently taken place I yet think there is room for a good horse, and the arrival of some " illustrious stranger" in the betting would not in the least surprise me. It is not- my intention to go through the list sfriatim, as the interest in the Plates aud Sweepstakes expired when the telegraph was taken down; but some of the chief events are deserving of a more extended notice than will be found ill the descriptive report of them, Glenmasson was as. clearly the hero of Tuesday, as Avaeanora was the lionne of Wednesday; and never at so early a period of the season1 have I seen two animals strip better. The former, a racing blood dike horse, rather too tall on the leg per. haps to please the oyer fastidious judges, although he had but little to beat in the shape of Claude Lorraine, nevertheless per- formed his taskisatisfactomly!. knife it is questionable whether there is enough- weir and teit abont' him for a Derby, and whether he will not be more at koine over a mile course on the flat 5. bat as thus was hisauly engagement Jmor to Epsom, there is ample time for dfscits'sing' the question. Ayacanora,, grown and thickened considerably sincc'last year, was in superb condition, all her muscle huing clearly developed ; aYid as she walked, it was impossible not to tracd her connection with Stockweli and Rataplaij, nor to see that the odds laid upon her were not justified by her appearance and past performances. As I remarked la* t week, tho rac e - was at Lord Portsmouth's dispo- sal if he chose to bring her out, and the clever mannerin which she won— far easier thau was generally imagined, owing to her shrewd jockey having gammoned from the momeiit they faced the hill— fully, justified my idea of her pretensions; and should she keep well. Blink Bonny will have to gallop to beat her in " The Thousand.". Now John Day has got his stable into some- thing like order, his horses having won all their engagements tout one at this Meeting, the hopes entertained by them of success in the ensuing week are certainly based upon a scund foundation. The Newmarket Handicap has become so famous for turning • ap a winner in an outsider, that the success of Poodle did not create that surprise which it would have occasioned at another time; and his easy victory with the 71b penalty proves that either the majority of the field behind him were radically bad, or that the haudicapper for the Somer- setshire Stakes was not so very f& r out in his calculations when he put 8st Tib upon Zigzag for that race ; for it must be borne in mind that, when they were running together on the Heath, Zigzag ( then called Ilex) beat Poodle over the same course upon which he won to- day giving him 91b, and when giving him 161b ran a good second to him " over the 1 Beacon." Pantomime might perhaps hav. e been nearer, but with York in view, where he carries a stone less, Kendall judiciously stopped him, when he found he could not overhaul " the gentle- man in black." Gtechma di Vergy, tackled twice by Lord Nelson, ia different ways— once by " coming through," and the second time by " waiting"— maintained his own position among the three year olds, and, as was remarked at the time, he ran extremely well for a " poisoned" horse. The discomfiture of Rosa Bonheur in her Match by an animal openly admitted not to be worth a hundred pounds, was a heavy blow and great discouragementto that portion of the public who are led to place such special faith ia the Palace Matches as to be regardless of the odds they lay on their favourites; but had they kept their ears open and their mouths shut, the Ring would never have obtained the odds they got about her, as it was no secret that Rosa had fallen to pieces. And from her wretched appearance, and the jady manner in which she ran, her present performance cannot be reconciled for an instant with her flying pretensions of last year, when her debut created such a sensation. In the Claret the seedy look of Manganese, who could never have been half prepared, made it a " horse to a hen" on Wentworth, who had the mare in difficul ties before half the distance was run. Messenger's defeat was not surprising when it was known that his sinew was gone, and I am apprehensive he will not see Epsom this year. Friday will long be remembered at Newmarket for its Port and the debut of Kent. The appearanqe of Pazzoletto, owing to rumours that had been rife of his being lame only a month pre- viously, led to an intense anxiety to discover whether John Scott's preparation of him had been as successful as with other infirm animals. When stripped he looked rather light, but fit to run for his life. " The Bird" aud " Vander " also did credit to their trainers. The race, however, was never doubtful, and " Fazz " won easily, to the unmistakable delight of his noble owner, who, in the excitement of the moment, appeared quite to have forgotten the Chinese treaty and Lord Palmer ston's majority in the new Parliament. Kent's race following, the interest became still more intense, and much disappointment was felt at his being saddled on the Round Course instead of at the Ditch Stables. He won, of course, as he pleased, and when extended must be pronounced a very fine mover; but there is something in his action that induces me to believe he will tire over a course like Epsom, and, moreover, that the Two Thousand will be beyond his accom- plishment. The two Spring Meetings of York and Malton, fill up the four racing days of the ensuing week, and from the large number of horses that are in training in the North, it is impos- sible to doubt that'the doings on Knaves mire and Langton Wold will well remunerate the " emigrants' 1 from the South. The York programmes in the spring hardly come up to tho sam » standard as those bf the autumn, and although the present one contains the same number of races as before, I fail to recognise in them one event possessing the same interest as that of last year, when Fisherman encountered Ellington, and destroyed the prestige of the Middleham Derby favourite. Owing also to the Two Thousand being so close at hand, and with so many engage- ments for southern horses at Newmarket, I fancy the northern stables will have the game almost in their Own hands, the only competitors they will find being the representatives of Wood- yeates and Pindon; but as the state of your columns requires that I should not dwell longer in my prefatory observations, I shall at once take in hand Mr North's bill of fare, in the hopes of throwing some light upon its contents. The first of the five races on Tuesday is the Zetland Stakes, with as many names down to it as might be anticipated from the popularity of the nobleman after whom it is called. The subscription being only " a fiver," I expect to see nearly the majority. of those engaged at the post, including the Speedwell colt, Darkie, Terrific, Sister to Ellington, Longrange, Melita, Sir Isaac Newton, and Volatore ; and taking into consideration how we saw the last- named backed at Northampton against so formidable anopponent as Gemma di Vergy, and how close he finished to the latter, I cannot do otherwise than recommend Volatore to your readers on this occasion; and in attendance upon him may perhaps be found Terrific and Longrange. The Great Northern Handicap with its forty- six accept- ances has been some time before the public, who have as yet only fancied St Giles, Skirmisher, and Chevalier d'lndus- trie; but the betting may yet exhibit a couple of light weights, viz, Commoner and Captain Barclay, each with pretensions of their Own. Running the list down, those I conceive that will be " we ighed in," are Artillery, The Assayer, Vandal, Pan- tomime, Underhand, Chevalier d'Industrie, Commoner, Janet, St Giles, Skirmisher, The Borderer, Bashi Bazouk, Sir Colin, Codringtbn, Captain Barclay, and Ckarles O'Malley. Of these, Artillery does not look as if he Would get home, although he ran well over the course last year, Assayer will have a penalty for Durham, and I do not see how he is to alter the Northampton running. Vandal is well in, very well besides, and can stay all the'way, but I am afraid cannot give the weight to the young ones. Nevertheless, he will not be last. Pantomime ought to run a good horse, with a stone or so less on his back than he carried at Newmarket. Underhand showed good speed last year, but is not the easiest animal for a boy to ride, so I am not partial to him. The Chevalier d'Industrie having had a very satisfactory " dance " with Saraband, ought, if he can stay all the way home, to be about winning, as his form last year, particularly at the " back end," was very good, being only beaten a head from Ay& canora; and of her quality we had satisfactory proof on Wednesday last. St Giles, with his penalty, will have to give one pound to Skirmisher and two podnds to The Chevalier, and although run out of his distance the second time at Northampton as well as at Epsom, yet when he met Skirmisher his capabilities for getting over a scope of ground, from his fine sweeping stride and style of galloping, and the easy manner in which he in reality won, makes me believe that he will not only " do " Lord Zetland's horse again, tout will beat all comers. Commoner when he ran with Saun- tarer and Mamas at Chester had every appearance of making a race horse, and if fancied by his stable his chance may be any thing but a " common" one. Janet was settled, I should think, in the Metropolitan, and Pantomime prevents Bashi Bazouk doing any mischief. The Borderer showed momentarily in a good place within the distance at Northampton, and then suddenly expired— a circumstance perhaps worth remembrance. Sir Colinbeat Peto this week, and his weight won't stop him ; tout the latter cannot go much faster than a hack. Captain Barclay has been out but twice, exhibiting on neither occasion any of the qualities of his namesake. It is said, however, that he is fancied in the North, but in the absence of any real know- ledge of his form I must decline putting much faith in him ; and as it is admitted Codrington cannot stay, I have the strongest grounds for asserting my opinion that. St Giles has only'to beat Chevalier d'Industrie and Skirmisher to hate his number hoisted as the winner, I > The Spring St Leger would be worth all the races of the year if the entire entry could be got together; but as Apathy may be reserved for the Two Thousand, and Saunterer is likely to while away his hours at home, and Gemma di Vergy to be resting from his week's work at Newmarket,— Ignoramus, first favourite for the Doncaster St Leger, will have it as much his own way now, as he bids fair to do in September. The Knav. esmire Plate for throe's and two's has thirty- two nominations ; Wardermaske and Mongrel taking precedence, in my estimation, of all of the three year olds, and York and Old Times of the youngdivision. ' On Wednesday, we have promise of some excellent sport, com- mencing with the York Biennial, run for by the same nomina- tions as were down to it last year, when Nougat beat Augury, Apathy, and Skirmisher— a performance not likely to be repeated this time. The field may comprise Nougat, Wardermarske, Martinet, Augury, Vanity, and Skirmisher; and though the latter was obliged to content himself with the fourth place as a two year old I think he will now reverse his position, and not disturb the hopes of his backers for the Derby. The Londesborough Cup has such an array of names attached to it, and will be so dependent upon the previous running, that I cannot do more than point out Mary, Courtenay, Breeze, Dul- camara, Daisy, and Evelyn, as not having been stopped by the handicapper. ' .,„ ... o.. The Plying Dutchman's Handicap has twenty- one accept- ances, and it would really appear as if Woodyeates was destined to enjov the same distinction it acquired last year, yiz, of carry- ing off both the Great Northern as well as this stake, Lord Ribblesdale's horses being more favourably weighted than any other, though Captain Powlett may, perhaps, find supporters if he " goes to the poll." Matton, which follows York, has, by the indefatigable ex- ertions and influence Of Mr John Peart, come out this year in great' force, five hundred ponnds of public money being added to the seven races per diem in his broad sheet. This fact sp° aks well for the liberality of the Maltonians; aud those who find their wav to Langton Wold will, I have no doubt, be fully recorape « sed" for the extension of their journey northwards. As most of the entries are engaged at York, it would be useless to speculate upon their chances.— I am, Sir, yours, & c, OBSERVER.

Boyce ( who has left off riding in public since 1852, when ho became landlord of the Rutland Arms, Newmarket), is about to re- appear in the pigskin, and, in the present dearth of jockeys, his services will no doubt have plenty of employment; his riding weight is 8st 41b, which he can " do" without notice. Owing to the severity of the weather Bartholomew, whose re appearance in the saddle had been anxiously looked forward to during the recent meeting, was prevented from going to scale under 93t, but he hopes to be able soon to resume his duties. CONVICTION OB A NOTORIOUS " WEICHER,"— At the East Riding Sessions, on the 8th ult, William Graham, a well- known " Weleher" ( who has been in the habit of " running up" horses at race auctions, and when knocked down to him, as in the case of Sichaens at Nottingham Spring Meeting, denying the pur- chase, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for an impu- dent robbery in stealing four partridges from the shop of Mr Charles Pent, fishmonger, Beverley.

However successful the racing may have been during the first " quarter" of the1 season— leading us to indulge in the hope of increasing prosperity now that. tho. country has become com- paratively " settled" after having been engaged in a long and expensive- w^ r and the more innocent excitement of a recent general election at home— it must be admitted that the opening meeting at" head quarters," though anxiously looked forward to by the townspeople of Newmarket ( amongst whom we regret to report many serious reverses daring the winter), failed to create the slightest' enthusiasm in- sporting circles generally, further than the interest caused by the ileMis of the; few Derby and Oaks candidates having., engagements there. This state of affairs may. in some measure be attributed to the vast increase of race meetings in other parts of the country, the managers of which seem no longer to fear the consequences of clashing with, the Newmarket gatherings. Formerly— in whatare still " harped upon"- as the " good old days"— the Ofaven meeting had sole possession of " Easter week," but our present over- crowded columns afford unmistakeable testimony of a change in the times, aud the tw. o norchern meetings of Derby and Catterick were pa- tronised by the northern stables in preferenceto sending their horses so far south without any powerful inducement to do so; for since last, year tlie Burwell Stakes and the £ W0 Craven Plate have been discontinued, and the three year olds shut out of the Newmarket Handicap; Various means Have been tried by the Jockey Club to make- this meeting more attractive, but to no purpose, and it now becomes a question for consideration whether a reduction from five to four days would not be more sensible and- advantageous than the " lingering existence" it • has of late years been difficult to maintain. In " taking it for granted" that thero would bethe usual " special" to Newmarket pn Sunday afternoon, it was only reasonable to- suppose that a measure which had been found to give so much satisfaction to the pubiie, and at the same time afforded considerable remuneration" to the Company for some years past, would again be adopted j but we " reckoned without Our host." Since the accession to office of the new board of directors, retrenchment has been the order of the day— the salaries of the over- worked and under- paid subor- dinate officials have been cut down to such an extent that to hear of defalcations on the part of railway servants can scarcely appear surprising. Religious scrupled have likewise be& n brought to bear against the " holiday traffic" uf) on- Suii- days, & c, and a niggardliness exhibited in every department, on the plea of not jeopardising the property of the shareholders. This is a very praiseworthy policy ir properly carried out; but in the present instance the directors acted upon a contrary principle altogether, and, instead of conciliating racing men, they adopted a short- sighted policy which, to say the least of it, is both injudicious aud unpardonable, considering the eiiormous revenue derived from- the six Newmarket meetings, and- the conveyance of horses iroifr Newmarket to other places during the year. These remarks are called forth in conscqiienee of the refusal of the authorities to provide the usual " special" to Newmarket on Sunday afternoon last, which caused " no end" . of- - grumbling and discontent amongst those who found themselves so cruelly " sold" on arriving at Shore- ditcn on that occasion. Mr Bale, the obliging and popu- lar station- master, was appealed to both by " lords and com- mons," but, fearing to take the responsibility upon himself, he ^ telegraphed to Mr Robertson, the coaching superintendent ( who resides close to Tottenham station), for. the requisite authority. No reply, however, was received from that quarter, and it be- came. Hobson's choice"— the " Parliamentary" or nothing! A great mauy- returned home again thoroughly disgusted, m preference to undergoing a sis or seven hours' •* pilgrim- age;" and several trainers, declining; to expose their horses to such a tedious journey, were compelled to remain in London until the following morning, at considerable risk. to their own and employers' interests. The train, nevertheless, was a very heavy one, there being, as usual on liaster- Suuday, aa immense number of passengers for the suburban districts, and, after stopping at every paltry station on the line, Cambridge was reached a little after five o'clock— a distance of fifty eight miles in about three hours and three quarters! ilere the— we might add, infuriated— voyageurs had fresh annoyances to - en- counter, as the . Newmarket train, did not start again until haif- past six ; whilst tiiose who had countermanded their din- ner by telegraph, in the expectation of finding a hot one pre? pared as usual in the refreshment room here, had the mor- tification to discover that, as there was no. special, no preparation of the sort had been made ! In due course, however, the contents of the larder were displayed, and the appetites of the htuigry appeased. There was no at- tempt to " form a ring," but three or four blows were struck during the stoppage at Cambridge, namely, 350 to 50, and 600 to 160 agst Kent ( the noble layer evidently being ignorant that 11 to 2 had been taken about the horse in the City over- night) for the Two Thousand,. 300 to 10 agst Gemma di Vergy for the Chester Cup, and 200 to 10 on twenty agst the field for the Two Thousand, the lot taken being the same as that which ap- peared in our last, except the substitution of the Beeswax and Ma Mie colts for Hunting Horn and Athlete. At the hour named the convoi was again in motion, aud at twenty minutes past seven ( the fourteen miles having occupied an hour all but ten minutes), we reached Newmarket, where, thanks to the precautions* taken by the new station master, Mr Mingay, a " safe delivery" was effected without the delay and annoy, ances Newmarket passengers were formerly subjected, to on. arriving at their destination. The evening turned out wet, and so bitterly cold that those wbo were deluded by the fineness of the morning in town, aud provided accordingly, must have been somewhat astonished at emerging from a spring into a vylntry atmosphere. The Subscription Roam was opened . at the usual hour, but. there were not half a dozen members present, nor did we observe the metallic* once in requisition. The rise of iient ( who " made mincemeat" of Eloquence when put together in. their light sheets. on the Thursday previous,) was the chief topic of conversation; and the " touts" declared that such a horse had not been seen at Newmarket since Bay Middteton! MONDAY.— The appearance of the streets this morning must have, astonished even that ubiquitous individual, the " oldest inhabitant," in whose experience can scarcely be re- membered so heavy a fall- of snow in the middle of April, though it is a " household word" in Turf circles that in 1839 Bloomsbury won the Derby in a snowstorm at the end of May ! The Heath and surrounding country presented a most winterly aspect, antt owing to the depth of snow on the ground no horses could exercise until near noon, by which time the snow had almost disappeared under the influence of an hour's steady rain. A brisk wind then sprung up, which dried the ground more rapidly than might have been expected, consequent^- it was by no means heavy " going," though at the sauie time rather sticky, The arrivals from Town by the early train,, though embrac- ing most of the leading bookmakers, and many of the regular frequenters of Newmarket, were by no means large, and the show of the company on the Heath was the smallest in our recollection on the opening day of the Craven Meeting. The Ring was unusually limited, owing to • the absence Of nearly all the northern and midland bookmakers at Durham aud Coventry ; but the fielders nevertheless were in an overwhelming majority to the backers of horses, the paucity of whose ranks caused speculation not only on current but future events to be " fiat, stale, and unprofitable." The card embraced half a dozen items, and we commenced operations with the Craven Stakes, which i'lacrow added to his winning score, thereby affording further confirmation of his ability to " get over half a mile," seeing that he managed to win at North- ampton at double that distance, aud at a mile and a quarter here; A double accommodation claim by the owners of the winner aud Huntington prevented either horse from changing hands at the stipulated price of JE600, or it is not unlikely Fiacrow might have found a new owner. A small Handicap on the Bitch Mile followed, wherein Uzella made a sad example of her brace of younger opponents, Tarn o' Shanter and Newtou- le- Willows, the latter of Whom, after gaining some notoriety in Ireland last year, made his first appearance oil the Eng- lish Turf with anything but flattering testimony to tiie calibre of the youngsters in the " Sister Kingdom;"' and judging from the horse's performance to- day, his owner must repent of having parted with such a sum as £ 700 for him. Queen of the East was a " pot" for the Bennington Stakes, but she " tired to nothing" at the end of three quarters of a mile, and left the race to Hurdle and the filly by Collingwood out of Fleece, the former of whom pulled through by a neck. For the T. Y.- C. Handicap, which followed, Mr Merry ' s colours were a second time successful— the sunrise shining " gloriously" upon her backers, and completely extinguishing the glimmer of the " lesser lights*" Another IKild of seven went to tire post for the Two Year Old- Plate on the first half of the Abingdon Mile, which Woodmite won easily; and this terminated the first day's racing, the liiddlesworth having gone Off in a compromise be- tween the owners of Vanity and Oilliver, The operations upon future events call for few remarks. The Newmarket Handicap appeared to be a " dead letter," the chief topic with all parties being the Two Thousand Guineas, for which Kent w as in such general favour that in the morn- ing as little as 4 to 1 was taken about him to two or three hundred pounds, whilst for the Derby 4,500 to. 300 was booked in one bet. On the Heath, however, the ardour of his supporters cooled a little, half a point more was offered, aud, after the races, there was a strong disposition to back Vedette against him. 10 to 1 was laid to £ 100 against Sydney, the same price offered against Schiedam, and 100 to7 takenabout Anton. 10,060 to250 and4,000 to 100 ( twice) was booked about the latter for the Derby; andin the morning 900 to 20 was laid against Colonist; but after Mr Bowes's nag had afforded thenativesa'' taste of his quality" in a gallop with John Scott's other horses during the racing, 1,000 to 10 went beg- ging ! Except a bet of 350 to 200 against Giles and Skirmisher, the principal operations on the Great Northern were confined to Chevalier d' Industrie, who was backed for all that could be got on at 11 to 2 and 5 to 1; 9 to 2 was currently offered on the field. Our office at the Room in the evening was almost a sinecure, the only transactions worth quoting that came under observation being 1,500 to 100 against Messrs Barber and Saxon's lots, including Pretty Boy, Commotion, Prince of Orange, Hamlet, and Miss Harsaway. The taker would have gone oil; and the same price would have been taken about Mincepie, but the highest Offer against the latter was 100 to 8.

They ran thus into the dip, where the latter and Alcyone dropped off, and the favourite re- suming the lead, won, hard held, by three quarters of a length, the top weight beating the Birthday filly by half a length.

The Newmarket Handicap likewise caused abetter muster in the Ring, but speculation upon that race " dragged its slow length along" with little en-' couragement to the book makers. In the town, Eloquence had the decided call of Pantomime, who was not in very good odour; ; 6 to 1 was offered " bar two," and a point more taken about Laverna. In the course of the liidrning, Mr Barber entered a protest agaiiist Gemma di Vergy being allowed to start for the Fifty Sovs Sweepstakes, wherein hft was engaged with Lord Nelson, on the ground of his nominator, " Mr Hope," being an outlaw, aud no longer recognisable as a subject of the realm. Being the first objection of the kind ever made, the S tewards, the Marquis of Anglesey aud Admiral Rous ( acting for Lord Zetland), declined to decide summarily upen so novel and important a point without taking the opinion of the members Of the Jockey Clubupouit; butorderedthattlioraceshould berununderprotest without, however, interfering with the bets, which, it was officially declared, would be decided by the order in which the horses passed the post. The first of the seven items on the card was set for one o'clock. This was a Match between iEthoii and Lepanto, which, after the formula had been gone through of weighing and saddling, went off in a, forfeit on the part of the latter, to the chagrin of tlioso who, " reckoning their chickens before they were hatched," had congratulated themselves on " picking up" a tenner or so by laying 3 to 1 on iEchon. Busi- ness commenced in earnest, therefore, with the Sale Stakes, which dwindled down to a match between Glenmassou and Claude Lorraine, As far as looks go it was the " old Lady of Threadneedle- street" to the British Bank on the former, and beiug entitled to an allowance of 61b, high odds were betted " without compunction." The favourite won as he liked, but without creating a furore, and from the offers of 25 to 1 against him afterwards it was patent that the performance did not improve his position in the Derby market; though it must at the same time be admitted that Glenmassoii is a remarkably good- looking aud blood- like horse. Hitherto this stake has been carried off by horses bred at the Royal Stud, but Lord Spencer is entitled to score the present « winner to the Althorp Park Stud. The T. Y. C. Subscription Plate was ail easy victory for Fiacrow, who, though ridden in his late owner's colours, became Lord Londesborough's property before the race for 7u0 guineas. A small Selling. Stake, won easily by the favourite ( Admiral of the White), followed ; and then came the D. M. 50 Sovs Sweepstakes, which produced a most exciting set- to between Gemma di Vergy and Lord Nelson, resulting in the victory of " Jemmy" ( who was backed somewhat freely on the Heath at 20 to 1 for the Chester Cup) by a neck, after one of the fastest races that has been run for many a day. Lord Nelson came a " cracker" all the way, and two huudredyards from home Kendall appeared to be so hard upon, his horse that the betting changed from 3to 1 on Gemma di Vergy toevenon Lord Nelson ; and it was not until half- way in the cords, when the " big-' uu" got alongside of his lesser opponeut, that the layers of the long odds felt at all inclined to rejoice^— nor has " Geininy" been so " tightly fitted" before this year, though his victory at the same time was won " very cleverly" at last. The Tuesday's Riddles- worth was the best betting race of the day. With the line through the Fleece filly, the " talents" made Beechnut the favourite, but the truth of the Hopeful running here last year was confirmed by Vanity beating Lord Exeter's mare to- day as far as she did on that occasion, Sir Charles Monpk's filly, likewise disposing of Hurdle without the semblance of a struggle. Beechnut appears to have altogether lost her autumn , form, or the Criterion must have been one of those extraordinary " flukes" by which Lord Exeter's horses have so often " wou the game" from superior opponents. The racing on the Flat having been disposed Qf, the only remaining item was the Newmarket Handicap, for which a " ragged" field of seven only started, Manganese, for whom John Osborne weighed, not going to the post. The betting was " deadly lively" to the last, and but forthe rise in Pantomime almost without change. The race admits of little description, being a repetition of the " Metropolitan" as concerned the two oid-' uus, Poodle and Pantomime, the former of whom, regardless of the " steadier" on his baek, made play throughout, aud fairly galloped his followers to a stand- still. The running of Eloquence was regarded with consider- able interest, from the fact of her being the trial nag of Kent, and though she went as fast and fresh, and was as good as any- thing in the race for about a mile and a half, her performance had a depressing influence upon Lord Londesborough's horse, Who declined to 6 to 1 for tlie Two Thousand when the Ring mustered at the Room afterwards. In other respects we have no change to record, beyond a gradual improvement in Anton, who was backed at 100 to 8 for the " Guineas," and at 30 to 1 for some money for the Derby. In the morning 1,000 to 10 was laid against naming all the winners, and the taker " spotted" them all except the winner of the Riddlesworth, for which race his selection ( Hurdle) was second! After the rapes, the Stewards met to consider a requisition from J. Quiuton, the jockey, to investigate the statements that had been published in various newspapers respecting his recent conduct on the Turf; but as no specific case was broug'ht before them, the Stewards were not in a position to take notice of the matter. The after dinner muster at the Room was very select, and as on the. previous evening the business transacted was extremely limited. 9 to 2 was taken about V6dette for the Two Thousand, 10 to 1 to JL' 50 or £ 60 about Aiiton, 12 to 1 to a pony about Apathy, and 1,000 td 20 about Loyola winning the double event. 500 to 100 was laid agst the winner of the Two Thousand win- ning the Derby, provided he is in it. 5 to 1 each was taken about St Giles and Chevalier d'Industrie for the Great Northern, and 11 to 2 offered agst Skirmisher. The Derby bets that came under our notice were as follows .— 1,000 to 25 ( twice) agst Adamas, 50 to 1 to £ 50 agst Wardermaske, 1,000 to 50 agst M. D., 3,009 to 30 agst Kingmaker, and 1,000 to 800 and 500 to 400 on Adamas agst Glenmassoii/'": > / - - v The Second SAXE STAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft, for three year olds ; colts Sst Oil), fillies 8st 5.1b ; those by stallions or out of mares that never bred a winner allowed 31b, and those sold for less than 300gs allowed 31b, for less than lOOgs 61b; A.

Here lie waited until within fifty or sixty yards of the chair, when, getting on even terms with liim, a most exciting set- to commenced, resulting in favour of Gemma di Vergy, \ yho got the best of it in the last three strides, by a neck.

Here she remained uutilentering the cords, when Pantomime passed her and, in a few strides, got to Poodle's quarters ; but the latter instantly shook him off, aud galloped home an easy winner by five lengths, Pantomime, who ran a little " crusty" at the finish, beating the Duke of Bedford's mare by two lengths for the second money.

This arrangement afforded plenty of time for settling, and for Mr Tattersall's sale, but 0? the dozen lots offered by the latter scarcely half the number found purchasers, and those disposed of, it will be seen, with one or two exceptions, fetched " ruinous prices," 60 to 50 was betted on St Giles, Chevalier d'Industrie, and Skir- misher for the Great Northern; and Lord Derwentwater, a new outsider, was introduced at 100 to 7. 4 to 1 was i the highest offer on the field for the Two Thousand, for ' which" race Loyola and Anton were backed rather freely, the former at G^ to 1 and the latter, after 12 tol, was no longer obtainable; at a couple of points less. The only Chester Cup bet was 600 to 190 agst Leamington. Arsenal was basked quietly for tho Derby for all that eould be got on at 20 to 1, Loyola and M. D. for lOO sovs each at the - same figure, and Chevalier d'In- dustrie at 1,000 to 20;. 7 tol was offered currently agst Blink Bonny, and a point more might have been obtained without, much difficulty, we suspect. -.. The racing commenced in the presence of a pretty tolerable assemblage of company with a £ 60 Plate, Across the Flat, for which a dozen of the fifteen handicapped went to the post. Only one of the lot— Claude Lorraine— was backed for money,, however, and. being turned loose, the " pot" came off. though Knight of Avon, who served his followers over this course iii the autumn, came with such a rush at last as to make the backers of the favourite feel rather anxious for the hoisting of the win- ner's number— the fiat being in favour of the light weight by a neck only. The 50 Sovereign D. M. Sweepstakes ( all the money) brought together a moiety of the eight subscribers, and the betting confirmed the previous rumours of there beiug a " screw loose" with Messenger, whose leg failed him in the race. The stake fell to the lot of Bel Esperanza, the favourite, who does not appear to have been affected so seriously as others with the epidemic , that has recently gone through Charles Peck's stable. Stormsail— another favourite— won the Ditch Mile Subscription Selling Plateaftera fine set- to with Beechnut and Bird in Hand— a further " let down" for Lord Eieter's mare, for whom, we understand, nearly three times the amount for which she was entered, to be sold to- day was refused after winning the Criterion. The Column, re- served for the wind- up, proved a most exciting finale to this meagre day's sport. The field was reduced to live run- ners, butAyaeanora was the only one backed; and although the owner of King of the Forest was uncommonly " sweet," especially after the success of Olaude Lorraine— 161b worse, on dit, than " his antlered Majesty"— and both Church Langton and Special Licence were more or less fancied by their trainers, 6 and 7 to 4 was betted on the Danebury mare, who had her followers in trouble a quarter of a mile from home; though, from the fact of Alfred Day pulling her up in the Abing- don Mile bottom,: and having to set the mare going again to dispose of Flatman. and Keadall's final rush in the cords, the victory did net appear so easy as it was in reality accomplished. Just previous to the race, the weather, which was so delightfully fine throughout , the early part of the day as to tempt even the weatherwise to leave top coats and um- brellas at home, underwent a change, and a heavy storm,, accompanied by snow and sleet, burst over the whole district. This " accompaniment" to a long walk into the town proved anything but pleasant, and caused the muster at the Room to be very limited. The effect of the running in the Column, however, was soon apparent, inasmuch as that 1,600 to 200 was taken about Anton for the " Guineas," and an even thousand betted by his plucky owner that he is one of the first three! Half a point less was subsequently, taken, and 1,000 to 40 booked about him two or three times for the Derby, 50 to 1 beiug also taken about his winning the double event. We did not hear a bet about Veaette, Loyola, or Kent, beyond one of 3 to 1 about Lord Clifdeu's horse and Anton coupled. Lord of the Hills was backed for £ 50 at 13 to 1 { on the Heath 10 to 1 was taken once), and 15 to 1 to the same. amount was laid against Apathy, between whom and Lambourme 300 to 200 was betted on the latter, 4,500 to 100 was taken about Chevalier d'Indus trie for the Derby, 1,300 to 100 about Mincepie for the Chester Cup, aud 7 to 1 offered against) Skirmisher for the Great Northern— a rumour being current that the latter is likely to be reserved for the Biennial in preference to the Handicap. We have a very meagre report to offer of the proceedings at the " evening sitting," the only event touched upon ( except an outlay of two or three hundred pounds on Leamington at 6 to 1 for the Chester Cup) beiug theTwo Thousand, for which 9 to 2 was offered against Vedette, 6 to 1 eaeh taken about Kent and Loyola, 7 to 1 about Anton, 10 to 1 rather freely about Sydney, 100 to 7 about Lord of the Hills, and 220 to 100 about Vedette and Kent ( coupled). Both Schiedam and Druaiour appeared to have passed a " bad night," judging from the manner iii which the former was " peppered" at 100 to 3 and 100 to 4; whilst 1,000 to 40 was laid against Drumour, though subsequently five points less were taken about the latter. The Port was not mentioned. A HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs, for three year olds aud upwards; A. F. ( lm 2fur 73yds), Mr K. E.

After three or four failures, in which the lot broke away right and left, Tame Deer, getting a good start, made play with a lead of two or three lengths, fol- lowed by Noisette, Claude Lorraine, and Tam o'Shaiiter clear of the ruck, which was headed by Knight of Avon and The Druid. They ran thus almost to the bushes, where Tame Deer's advan- tage b- gan to lessen, and at the top of the hill he was caught and passed by Claude Lorraine, Knight of Avon, and Uzella, Tarn o'Snanter at the same time disappearing from the front. The favourite went on with a clear lead through the Abingdou Mile bottom, when the Kuight came with , a rush, passed Noi- sette in the cordB, and made the issue rather doubtful, but fail- ing quite to reach the light weigh;, the latter wou by a neck. Noisette was beaten four lengths, aud Uzella as far from her ; the next lot, separated by a wide interval, being Admiral of the White, Druid, and Bracken close together.

Descending the bushes hill, the favourite had the race in hand, and in the bottom Alfred Day stopped her; Churoh Langton was now disposed of, but Special Licence and King of the Forest persevering to the end, the issue looked more " serious" than it really was— Ayacanora, who immediately answered to the final call of her jockey, winning easily by a length. A close struggle between King of the Forest and Special Licence resulted in favour of the former by a head, Church Langton finishing about a length from Mr Merry's horse, aud Dundas a long way behind him. Run in lmin oosec. THURSDAY.— A fine bright morning was succeeded by a stormy boisterous afternoon, but in spite of the unpropitlous weather there was a decided improvement in the show of com- pany on the Heath, especially of members of the " upper house." The heavy rain made the running ground very sticky. The card was in every respect the best of the meeting, em- bracing no fewer than ten engagements, which produced eight actual contests. The two Handicap Plates, like the one on the previous day, obtained much larger entries than the most san- guine bargained for at the beginning of the week, and the meet- ing may be said to have advanced with a crescendo success that even its most sanguine supporters anticipated. The sports commenced at " the top" with the Claret, in which Wentworth; by " coming through," disposed of Manganese without the slightest difficulty. Cruzada had an equally easy task with W estern Power ( though the latter was allowed 61b) for the D. M. 50 Sovs Sweepstakes; and from the success of the favourites in the two first races the layers of odds increased in confidence when the Match between Rosa Bonheur and Alliauce came oh for decision. This resulted in a " turn up" for the fielders, who, besides the'long odds of 7 to 2 and 4 to 1 that were sported on the loser, landed the double event bets of even money in which Cruzada and Rosa Bonheur were taken for their respective engagements. The latter ran a jade throughout, and to no one was the success of Alliance a greater surprise than his spirited owner, who, aware of his horse's mediocrity, ottered Lord Strad- broke in the morning £ 180 forfeit to be off the match— a fur- ther exemplification of the " glorious uncertainty of racing;" The T. Y. C. £ 50 Plate was a double triumph forthe gallant handicapper, who appeared to have given almost unaniaaoris satisfaction to those engaged therein, judging from the circum- stauce of there being only' two absentees at the post out of the eighteen entered, aud of the unusual occurrence of a dead heat between the top and bottom weights in the handicap which ex hibited a range of three- and- thirty pounds ! Cock of the North was the selection of the " talents," but his " comb was cut" by Flyaway and Indulgence, who finished a most exciting struggle with a dead heat; and as the latter had a subsequent engagement, which looked a " Certainty" on paper, an arrangement was effected for a division of the Plate. Lord Glasgow ( who, we regret to state, was too seriously ill to be present at the meeting) commenced the season auspiciously with liis new trainer ( xllec Taylor), by winning the Hundred Sovereign R M. Sweepstakes with the Pliysalis colt; and we hope the present may prove an omen of better luck for his hitherto unfortunate stud. Each of the three engaged in the Handicap Across the Flat were both fancied and backed; but the race turned out a " good thing" for Uzella, and recompensed those who stuck to " the ship" for their previous losses on the " gallant grey." From the easy style in which she won, ITzella divided the favouritism with Indulgence for the £ 70 Plate which followed; but the Clermont Course was out of her distance, and Lord Clifden's colours were this time landed without the exciting finale which attended tho winner's previous essay— thanks iu a great measure, however, toClement having thrownthe raceaway by his indiscreet riding of Little Tom, upon whom it looked a " certainty" from the Turn of the Lands. The second'' heat" between Gemma di Vergy aud Lord Nelson over the hilly Criterion Course was almost an exact repetition of that run on the Flat on the previous Tuesday— the same odds ( 3 to 1) were betted on " Jemmy," and tho fiat was again a neck in his favour, though judging from the spur marks on his right side, the victory was not accomplished without difficulty; added to which, when Kendall took up his whip half- way iu the cords the winner flinched very perceptibly and " cannoned" against Lord Nelson, without, however, in the slightest degree jeopardising the latter's chance at so critical a point of the race. The two remaining items having been walked over for, this exciting event brought a capital afternoon's sport to a close with no little eclat. The muster at the Room before dinner was exceedingly select, and scarcely half a dozen bets were laid. In the morning, we must not omit to state, Kent had so pleased a select few of the cognoscenti who saw him gallop with his new schoolmaster Fiacrow, that an outlay of two or three hundred pounds at 5 to 1 and 9 to 2, and of several hundreds between him and Vedette, gave Lord Londesborough's horse the call for the Two Thousand; nor was he ousted from his position of first favourite during the day. The only movement of importance on the Heath was in connection with. Sydney, who was tried so successfully with Ellington ( now in Hayhoe's stable), and The Tester on the Warren Hill about two o'clock that i he advanced from 10 to 7 to- 1 jn vary little time after the Baron's arrival at the Ring, the latter taking 2,100 to 300 in t wo t s o o • o one bet. Loyola and Anton were momentarily affected by Sydney's advance, but at the closelOO to 15 was taken about the former and 7 to 1 about the Danebury nag, betweeu whom and Kent, oft the arrival of the noble owner of the latter by the afternoon train, a sporting match was made for three thousand a side, half forfeit, Sst 71b each, Across the Flat, to run on; Mon- day in the Craven Meeting,' 1858. Altogether, therefore, the afternoon was brim full of excitement. Except the retrogression of Sydney to his " old familiar" pricie of 10 to l, the evening quo- tations oh the," Guineas" presented iio change, as will be seen from the following " price current:" 9 to 2 agst Kent, 5 to 1 agst \ 6dette, 7 tol. asst Anton, 100 to 15 agst Loyola, 13 tol agSt Lord of the Hills ( tk). There tfas a decided reaction in favour Of Skirmisher for the Great Northern and he was as good a favourite as St Giles andtheCl) 6valicr, 5 to 1 being taken about each of the three separately. The Derby transactions that came to our knowledge duriiig the day were as follows :— 15 to 1 agst Kent, 20 to 1 to £ 40 agst M, D., 500 to 25 agst Loyola, 1,000 to 40 agst Anton, 1,000 to 30 agst Sweet William, 1,000 to 25 agst Chevalier d'Industrie, 1,000 to 15 agst Pyrrhus the Second, 1,000 to 10 agst Comedian, and 1,000 tos aq- st King of the Forest. 8 to 1" to money" was Offered currently against Blink bonny, and 1,000 to 60 agst Lady Hawthorn. Arsenal would have been backed against anything " bar two" ( Blink Bonny and Kent) for two or three thousand.

Flatman wo FRIDAY.— Tho interest created by the debut of Kent excited as much curiosity as that of Wentworth this day twelvemonths, and caused the majority of the cognoscenti to postpone their departure until the close of the meeting. The card, as will be seen by the return, was a very light one, being limited to five races billy, but the attendance on the Heath was almost as nu* merous as on any of the preceding days, added to whichthe weather was everything that could be desired. The opening race, set for half- past t welve, was a Sweepstakes of 1.00 sovseach on the Ditch Mile, which, after a much closer struggle than the layers of 2 to 1 on the Ma Mie colt anticipated, was just won by the favourite, apparently with little to spare, seeing that Flat- man had to " pop in the whipcord"' in the last few strides to beat Bannoekburn by a head. Mary Copp, Prince, and Yellow Jack having been struck out the day before, the field forthe Port was reduced to a trio only, viz, Fazzoletto, Brother to the Bird on the Wing, and Vandermulin. The betting fluctuated considerably, and for a moment or two after the Ring had left the " magic circle" for the cords, Lord Glasgow's horse became almost as good a favourite as Fazzoletto, iu consequence of the operations of those who went down to the stables to " take stock" of them. " Fazz," however, left off with the decided call; and the confidence reposed in him by his noble owner, trainer, and jockey was justified by the decisive manner in which he won the instant Flatnsan called upon him. Vandermulin, contrary to expectation, dividing the two favour- ites, and thereby securing the second money from Lord Glas- gow's horse. The latter and Fazzoletto have now met threa times, and always with the same result, Lord Derby thus bring- ing off the £ 1,000 p. p. by- bet, which was laid, between them on the eve of the Two Thousand last year. The next raeo was the Hundred Sovereign Sweepstakes on the Abingdon Mile, in which Kent was engaged with Schiedam and Humbug. An immense crowd congregated at the stables to see the " great gun," and when he made his appearance stripped, scarcely an adverse opinion was expressed respecting his good looks, though here and there an exception taken to his immense height, which is exactly sixteen- twd. Schiedam being apparently out of form, and Humbug, We take it, good for nothing, the race cannot be regarded as aiiy real test of Kent's quality; but one tking is certain, the style in which he won did not please the cognoscenti, aud though, on the spur of the moment, 100 to 30 was. taken about him five or six times for the " Two. Thousand," aud 15 to 1 for the Derby, as the horse's perform- ance became more generally discussed 4 to 1 was offered against him for the first, and 18 to 1 for the second eyent. The re- maining items were decided on the Round Course, where Poodle won the Queen's Plate, beating Prince of Orange and two others easily : and Pitapat carried off a £ 50 Handicap Plate on the new Two Year Old Course, beating six others. The favourites, it will be seen, were succcssful in every race to- day, and many of the bookmakers " made bad worse" by laying odds varying from 12 to 20 to 1 against naming all the winners, as several of the " picks" came off. Having " spoken our mind" respecting the treatment shown by the authorities of the Eastern Counties line at the beginning, of the meeting, we wil- lingly bear testimony, in concluding our report, to the satis- factory manner in which the very heavy " special," which left Newmarket an hour after the last race, performed the journey to town under the personal superintendence of Mr Watt; and though it had escaped us previously, to the efficient manner in which the duties ot the meeting were conducted by the well- known Jockey Club officials.

The closing prices, however, were 5 to 4 on Fazzoletto, 11 to 8 agsfc Brother to Bird on the Wing, and 6 to 1 agst Vandermulin. Brother to liirdon the Wing showed in advance for about two hundred yards, when the running was taken up by Vandermulin, Lord Glasgow s horse going oil second, and Fazzoletto lying three of four lengths from him. They ran thus at a good steady pace, to the T. Y.

Lady Hawthorn COVENTRY RACES. Stewards: Lord Leigh, C. N. Newdegate, Esq, Count Batthyany, and Capt Duff. Clerk : Mr S. Merry. Judge : Mr S. Clark. Starter : Mr E. Hibburd. With the fact fresh in our recollection that meetings at Co- ventry ( particularly that of last season) were mainly successful through aptly- timed fixtures and the presence of the sporting world, we confess to have been somewhat taken aback at the announcement that the adjuncts aforesaid were now unimpor- tant compared with the advantages afforded for the " people's" turn out at their general Easter festival. Certainly there was something " Manchesterian" in the intimation, with, however, as it turned out, just this important difference that, whilst races at the northern metropolis can . be commanded almost ad libitum, sport at the " ribbon town," opposed to a round of meetings during the past week, was " nowhere," as racing men some- times express it. Again, an extraordinarily sudden change from delightful spring weather to winterly bleakness barred the pleasure and attendance of those the new '' move" was intended especially to serve; in tact, fcg, snow, sleet, hail, and rain in turn so operated Upon the few hundred spectators on the ground on Monday, that the course was comparatively deserted an hour before the conclusion of the races, Which other- wise were mercifully cut short by the Selling Race, last on that day's card, with four entries, failing to produce a contest. Unquestionably the programme,- as originally pub- lished, showed a marked improvement upon any hitherto produced in this neighbourhood; but ill- luck overtook it at the onset by the non- filling of the Craven Chase ( always re- garded as the " great" event here), and which, shorn of its " 15 sovs each, 5 ft," had to be re- opened as a free handicap. Other novelties, the Nursery Stakes, Members' Plate, the Stone- leigh Abbey Stakes, Corporation Plate, and the " Peeping Tom" handicap, like the chief event over the flat, were closely akin to lkilures, so that the committee, in whose hands now rest the en- tire direction of affairs, have experienced so far a middlingretura for their locally- devoted exertions. That, howeverrwe shall perhaps be told, is no affair of ours, and therefore With the crowded state of our columns, we gladly hasten to notice the few incidents presented for our truly legitimate observation. First premising that the course throughout was a sea of slush, and that in the Ring we detected a brace of the metropolitan division only, it may next be remarked that Odd Trick, the Turuus filly ( since named Maggie Lauder) and Van Dunck were such unani- mous " picks" for their respective engagements that specula- tion ruled " dead " about either. Carbineer and Gipsy King were selected for the Stoneleigh Abbey Stakes, the latter, with MrEdwards" up, having the call, and being supported fora good ' deal of money. The favourite, however, was beaten three- quarters of a mile from home, and his rider, aware that Carbineer having run in a flat scurry at Croxton Park was specially interdicted performing in this, subsequently proceeded to lodge the ob- jection at the scale; but as some unknown manipulator had removed about 71b weight of lead from Sis saddle before start- ing, Mr E. not only discovered himself disqualified, but of course was precluded putting in his contemplated protest. The trick was severely animadverted upon, but nothing implicatory of its perpetrators was elicited. Salmon won the Members' Plate, though but for Ada lying out of her ground in the latter part of the race it is just possible Bray might have ridden four winners. Later in the evening the rain cleared off, and an easterly " stiffener" with frost setting in, dried up the dirt beyond expectation, the brilliant and blue sky, too, on Tuesday, presenting a remarkable contrast to that under which the meet- ing began. Notwithstanding, there was an absence of crowding until the jumping was due, and then, as if by magic, the emi- nences and other sight- commanding positions became blackened with animated masses. The Corporation Plate not producing a race, one small event only delayed the' husiness for which the populace evidently showed ; and, exciting as was the repetition of old Royalty's victory in the H, urdle Race, the grand climax, of course, was reserved for the pretty field and interesting, struggle that decided the Steeple Chase, the conqueror, as anti- cipated, turning up in Xanthus, upon whom Green piloted a second winner with his well- knoWn judgment. The general business of the meeting, under Mr Merry and his able assistants, was efficiently conducted ; and, owing to the engagement at New- market of the other chief officials, their duties were satisfactorily discharged by Messrs S. Clark ( judge) and E. Hibburd ( starter). MONDAY, APEII 13.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added; the winner to pay 5 sovs towards expenses; one mile; 6 subs, - i. . . . -,-./ Mr T.

Salmon led to the dip, where Challow Boy took up the running, but, putting his foot into a hole or some rotten earth, at the bottom of the hill, he stumbled, and nearly threw the boy over his head. The latter, however, contrived to keep his seat; the horse followed Salmon to the distance, when Ada took his place, but failed to reach Mr Copeland's horse, who won easily by a length; four lengths between second and third, the fourth well up With the latter.

Penelope went off at score, fol- lowed abreast by Freedom and the favourite, Decamp and Boa- dicea in the rear. In precisely these positions they made the first round of the course without mistake, though the Stand tim- ber rattled loudly under the whipping- in pair. At the railway arches Boyalty took second place, and at the next hurdles ob- tained the command, Penelope going on second and Decamp third to the bend leading to the hill, where Freedom drew for- ward, and passing Penelope at the top of the ascent, took his place next to the leader, but in the ensuing dozen strides drapped away beaten> Penelope being also decidedly in trouble^ she gave way to Decamp, who got into the favourite's wake at the distance Thence a good race with the two resulted iii the defeat of Mr Gulliver's horse ( who never reached the olit- un)' by half a length; about half a dozen lengths separated second aud third, Freedom and Penelope finishing together about as far as Boadieea, The pace was a clipper throughout.

Starting at the back of the course, immediately opposite tlie Stand, the troop, without anything absolutely leading, sailed on in a perfect cluster to the hedge and ditch jump first in order. Over this Honeycomb, cannoning against Maydayv drove the latter head foremost into the ditch, and Reuben Archer, encountering a heavy " purler,' was thus knocked out of time at the onset. Sir Charles Napier then took command, and showed the way over the brook below the farm- house, the division at his heels com- prising Xanthus, Aldershott, ExmoOr, and Dubious, this lot travelling on in such close order that, until they rounded the flag on the far left, it Was again impossible to make out a leader, Xanthus then showed in advance, but in descending for the straight, Sir Charles was once more at the- head of affairs; Aldershott, the favourite, and Exrnoor joined' in front with him as they approached the Stand hurdle's, which the quartette cleared almost simultaneously; behind them came Weston, Miss Knight, and Ganymede also abreast, with Dubious and Honey- comb several lengths in their rear; Exmoor thence led the van round the upper turn to the water near the railway bridge, where some confusion ensued amongst the forward horses, and- which, being repeated at the succeeding posts and rails, brought Ganymede to grief; as well as- stunning George Stevens. Miss Knight, with Xanthus, Sir Charles Napier, and- Weston lying well up, was first to charge the embankment to the fence next iu the route, at which something baulked AMersbott, and He went no further. The favourite and Sir Charles Napier then raced for the lead a second time to the- big brook jump ; the latter bungling thereat, came down, and the animal getting his' fore legs entangled in the reins, young Ben relinquished further pursuit. Putting on the steam, Xanthus was next observed with a strong lead, his followers along the upland meadows being Weston, Miss Knight, and Honeycomb. Save that Weston got close in the wake of the leader, at the straight, nothing further of note occurred until a « ain crossing the timber at the enclosure, where a dozeii lengths divided Miss Knight and Honeycomb from the forward pair, Exmoor travelling on fifth, as far from them, Dubious at a wider interval alone following on in the race. After leaving the water, the four above first men- tioned were ouce more on tolerably even terms, Honeycomb directly afterwards going on in front by a short cut, and thence held the lead over the Radford brook jump to the top of the hill the last time, Where she fell back beaten, and the favourite again took up the running. He was followed toy Weston to the hurdles at the straight, when Miss Knight,"' drawing into second place, made a game but ineffectual attempt to overhaul Xanthus, who was landed an easy- Winner by three lengths; double that inter- val each dividing second, third, and fourth; Nothing else passed the chair, Dubious having fallen early in the last round, and Exmoor being pulled up at the same spot.

Secretary aud Trea- surer : Mr W. Waddingham. Starter: Mr W. Elliott. The. list at Durham, this year, did not lead lis to anticipate so large a gathering as we have been in the habit < Jf Witnessing here, especially owing to its clashing with Newmarket. The course has been greatly improved by widening and levelling it at the bottom turn, where several fell last year. The turn is now easy, but, as might be expected, the new ground was very heavy, owing to the late rains. The Stand and enclosure were well at- tended, particularly on the first day, the receipts considerably exceeding any former year, which must be highly gratifying to the committee, as it will enable them to increase the added money hereafter. Snow fell heavily during the forenoon of Monday, and covered the course a couple of inches deep, but before the races commenced it disappeared under the'" influence of the sun's rays, and the remainder of the" day was fine, but bitterly cold. The racing afforded some very fine Contests, the first item upon the card'terminating with a dead heat. The weather, on the second day, was more favourable, and the course iu much better order. The liftetiiig was well conducted through- out, and^ Ihe following will be found ample details MONDAY, APRIL 13th.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added; one mile; 5 subs.

The w « ather was highly favourable on, both days, aud the sport showed consider- able improvement ' upon former years. The ground was never knowni. to be iu better condition, and great praise is due to the . conxijiittee, for tha p:* ins they take with the course, as they spare no expense in rolling, & c. We hear that some of the stakes are likely to be remodelled, before next year, . and the amount of added money increased.'

The abolition of heats for the " Monmouthshire," and its conversion into atwomile handicap, may perhaps be instanced as step the first in the right direction, the " hundred" advertised to the same, being, however, reduced one- half through want of one only to complete the score of nominations required by the conditions. Under similar circumstances half the sums origi- nally announced were saved in the Two Year Olds and Ladies' Plate handicaps. The operation of the race horse duty, besides cutting down the entries for the Hunt Chases, rendered void altogether that designated the " Welter ;" but by the substitu- tion of an open event of the same description of sport, the list suffered no diminution. Other engagements since the previous meeting having compelled the resignation of MrCharles Denton, the office of secretary is now vested in Mr James Morgan, under whose assiduity, courtesy, and geueralbusiness qualifications, we confidently anticipate the run of success that, in the same capacity, attended for many years the exertions of his esteemed brother, formerly proprietor of the Angel Hotel. The assistance, too, in perfecting the arrangements of Mr John Richards, on this aud numerous formeroccasions, likewise deserves honourable mention. Anything approaching propitious weather at race times being a decided novelty here, it afforded unmingled delight when the dawn of Thursday last heralded in one of the most brilliant days yet favouring the season, and though the latest traces of winter lingered on the mountain tops in patches of snow, a genial temperature pervaded the sun- lit valley beneath, in which the afternoon's diversions proceeded merrily and smoothly ( or rather would have doue so but for two casualties) as the stream itself, which, windiug round the course, adds greatly to its picturesque beauty. The. steeple chase line differed at two or three points from that travelled over in previous years, but without at all changing the scene of action, and therefore not calling for a recapitulation in these columns of the country. It was nearly the same admirable selection of pasture and fallow, intersected here and there with stone walls, with a double crossing of the memorable brook, and thirty other leaps in the four mile journeys. Equipages, horsemen, and pe- destrians together constituted the largest assemblage perhaps re- membered 011 this ground. The sport, on the whole most satis- factory, must speak for itself in the details we have given below, as fully as time and circumscribed limits this week allow. Con- sequently, with a passing remark that Mr Parr's usual luck realised the precise object of his visit, and that Maid of Glen, Steadily ridden by Tom Burrowes, pulled off the Open Steeple Chase, we must wind up with thanks to Mr J. H. Price for his uniform attention at the scale, and compliment to Mr Rowlands, whose starting might have put into the shade many a profes- sional.

The flag at last fell to an excellent start, Amelia taking up the run- ning, with the others lying at her heels in a cluster to the top turn. Thence Amelia increased the lead to the far side, along which she was followed in the order named by Chatteress, Penelope, the favourite, and Battery. The lot, however, drew once more together as they rounded the lower bend, aud, after cannoning at the distance, Amelia and Shirah singled them- selves out, the latter getting his head in front half- way up, and winning a good race by a neck ; bad third.

The latter broke away, as did Jesuit, Vigliacconi, and Wantage at the second attempt. At length Jesuit jumped off with the lead, followed by Vigliacconi and " Wantage, together, the favourite fourth, Alembic and Bobby B. next, Engineer whipping in. Except that Wantage became second at the back of the course, there was no change in the foregoing places as they repassed the Stand, ner in fact did anything calliug for special remark occur until reaching the bottom the last time, when Sir Edward Hutchinson's horse and Wantage joined with the leader, the latter pair getting a trifle the best of it before coming to the distance, inside which Jesuit beat a retreat and the favourite closed with the leaders. Half way up, Wantage was in trouble and left Odd Trick aud Vig- liacconi to finish the race, the former obtaining the lead at the lower end of the enclosure and winning cleverly by half a length; a length divided second and third ; Jesuit was a bad fourth, Bobby B. fifth, Alembic cantered in next, as did Engineer nearly a distance behind the lot. The DANYPARK FREE HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 25 added; for liOrses that have been regularly hunted, & c; gentlemen riders; four miles; 4 subs.

Harlequin cut out the work with a long lead for abouttwo miles, when he was joined by Godolphin, and thence the pair had the race to themselves. At the far side ( last time) Godolphin was in front for a stride or two, but the other resuming the command, was not afterwards headed, and won in a canter by three lengths; shocking bad third; the favourite, who never showed in the race, walking in from the distance. The OPEN STEEPLE CHASE FREE HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 added; winners after March 31 of 100 sovs 6lb, of two such or of 200 sovs 9lb extra ; four miles; 8 subs. Sir E.

James 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Maurice Daley, 2 to 1 agst Maid of the Glen, 3 to 1 agst Theodine, and 5 to I each agst the others. They sailed off in close order to the second leap, a stone wall, which Theodine took with reluctance, whilst Maurice Daley came down and parted company with Old Tom, who, however^ was soon up again and in pursuit, but not until Maid of the Glen, leading, was at least a quarter of a mile ahead ; Theodine travelling on second, and after him Bellman and Pat Manley. In this order they came to the brook to the right of the Stand, which the grey jumped simultaneously with the Maid; Theodine cleared it next, but Bellman, who jumped it in the wake of the latter, stumbled on landing, threw Mr Lindow over his head, and frac- tured his collar- bone; quite unaware, however, that the injury was of so serious a nature, he mounted and followed on in the race. Maurice Daley next coming up refused the water, but took it at the second asking, pitched ou to his head at the ensuing fence, and subsequently declining others, was stopped, and re- turned home the back way. When next again in sight below the Llanfoist Plantation, Maid of the Glen held a strong lead; Theodine and Pat Manley together followed her down to the bot- tom of the course the second time, where Pat Manley came down a " burster," and James, we regret to say, alsosustaineda com- pound fracture of the collar- bone, and was thence carried to the weighing room. The rider of Bellman, now acutely feeling the pain from his mishap, stopped nearly at the same spot. The race was thus left to Maid of the Glen and Theodine, but the latter coming to grief at the stone wall, for which at the com- mencement she exhibited dislike, the other obtained such a com- manding lead that, though Young Ben was quickly up and at it again, he never got within ten lengths of the winner.

HORSE BACE FOR ONE HUNDRED MILES.— TRIAI OP BOTTOM.— A letter from Albany, in the State of New York, dated March 30, says:—'" Two sporting men of this city, Taylor and Dalton, started on horses from the Exchange this morning at five o'clock, for a one- hundred mile race, without rest or feed. The bets are 2,500 dollars a side. Whitesboro, Oneida county, is the termination of the race. The horses passed Fonda, 43 miles of the distance, at 9: 15 a. m. Time, 4 hours 15 minutes. Dalton's horse slightly a- head. They arrived at Little Falls at 17 minutes pa8tl2, the Dalton horse still a little a- head, but in bad cou- dition. The general impression is that the Taylor horse will win the race." A later despatch adds:—" The New York horse is the winner of the one hundred mile race. He arrived at Whites- town at 5: 30 p. m., making the distance in twelve hours and a half. The Albany horse was a quarter of a mile behind." THE LATE ACTION AGAINST DR WISEMAN.— In this case brought by the Abbe Roux, against Dr Wiseman, and reported in our last, a motion has been made on the part of the defen- dant, for a new trial, and a rule nisi has been granted.

THE APRIL MEETING. & c. j In Irish sporting circles dulness reigned supreme duriDg the winter,- and so far the spring has brought but little improve- ment. Now, however, thai we ure on the eve of the commence- ment of the regular racing season, there is some appearance of returning vitality, and we doubi not i.' iat the gathering of the ' gay ones aud great" at the forthfOtnin; r meeting will reach its usual standard, and add an impettts tb speculation on home events, now almost dormant. By thf aruifv'' d programme ifr wul be Seen there are sixteen races to dwIdW1 in the four days to which the meeting extends, comraeafftBg Tuesday next, and terminating on the following Friday • Tuesday's racing extends to five events, the principal of w'hich is Hie a irst Mass ot the Madrids for three year olds, to run on' ® mile and 130 yards. Of the nine " contents" all will most likely reach the starting post except Erin's Star and the colt by Mildew out of Caroline. The weights consequent on the sew rule take a rather high rauge, commencing with 8 » S 121b on Pin- wire, which leaves ber only an indifferent chance, and termi- nating with 7st 101b on Lord WaterfoFd's colt, by Seahorse out of Queen Margaret, a weight he ought and will, we fancy, carry to the foremost place © n Tuesday next, his most dangerous on- ponents being Ribbonnsan and The Tattler. For the Kiidare Handicap all are in training except Roulade., consequently the field is not likely to be under a dozes. The three year olds. have only an indifferent chance at the weights, Chee° rfulttorn rS we own a P31" 1^ 1^ 7 for The Trapper ancl The Turf Club and Railway Hurdle Race will, we fear, turnout a failure^, whether, or not we see nothing to interfere with Mm, sh 5aIr auiThe Ara*> Maid; the former for choice, namwl for" 1" 17 kt'S and her Ma- iesty's Kate have yet to be Pgr Wednesday four events are in the list, two closed and two 1 close. The acceptance for the Wellington Stakes numbers a baker's dozen, of which Sunshine aud the Queen Margaret colt look the best on paper., The Stewards' Plate has an entry of twenty- one, all of which, pxcept Northleach, who paid the debt of nature early in the spring,.. and . Kilkenny Boy, who is steeple chasing in France, are in training; so a large field is sure to reach the starting- post, those most to our fancy being Spinster, Altro, and The Daisy - Queen. 5 aaxmna The Scurry Corinthians- aud a Selling Stake are the events yet ) close. Three races are on the list for Thursday, two of which, her Majesty's Plate and a Selling Stake, are n6t yet named for. The event closed is a Sweepstake, a mile and a quarter 011 the Peel Course, ^ for which 11 accepted, and of these Easter Monday or lhe Hawk can be of little use, unless they are " there or there- abouts." O-.' if • « M ' ? « > « * > 0 '' Of the four races fixed for Friday, only one, the Second Class the Madrids, is closed; 13 out of 21 accepted, for it, and we have ho fancy'beyond Agitation, if she can only be got to keep her temper at the post. - The races to be yet named for are her Majesty's Plate, fo maros, the Flying Stakes, aud Corinthians.

THE ARTS. BRITISH SPORTS.— Messrs Lloyd Brothers have now on view at their elegant new establishment, 96, Gracechurch- street, twe sets of pictures, illustrative of British sports, which will amply repay a visit from the admirers of our national pastimes. Mr J. F. Herring's magnificent series of " Horse Racing," painted for Messrs Fores of Piccadilljr, has already been noticed by us. The other series by Ansdell is quite new, and now exhibited for the first time, prior to being handed over to the engravers. The piptures ( five feet long by 33 inches high) are four in number, and have been executed by Mr Ansdell expressly for Messrs. Lloyd Brothers, Their titles are, " Gaffing the Salmon," " Waiting for the Guns," " Deer Stalking," and " Hunting." The scene of the first is on one of the celebrated Scotch salmon rivers, the wild scenery of which, as well as the natural colouring of the water, is depicted with wonderful effect. Standing on the bank, the disciple of " Ephemera" has managed to bring his fish sufficiently near to receive the polite attention of the watch- ful aud expert gillie, who, kneeling upon a piece of rock, and seizing the critical opportunity, secures the prize with his " gaff," froih the agonising effects of which the salmon seems to writhe even in the very picture— so happy has the artist been in his delineation, The figures of the fisherman ( with rod in hand) and the gillie are extremely natural, and en attendant upon the former is a wire- haired Scotch terrier, watching every move of the captured prize— a perfect study. This, we have no doubt will be considered by many— especially the admirers of those faithful companions, in the painting of which Ansdell has no superior— the choicest bit in the picture. No description can convey the stoical earnestness with which the dog watches every motion of the captured fish. " Waiting for the Guns" is also a Scottish subject, the scene being one of those wild picturesque spots in the Highlands to which sportsmen annually resort with such delight in the month of August, to enjoy the sport of shooting aw naturel. In the foreground two keepers, attended by a brace of pointers and setters, are indulging in their pipe whilst awaiting the arri- val of the shooting party for luncheon, & c. The display of dead gameon the heather, comprising white mountain hares, grouse, blaek cock, snipe, and grey hen, not only betokens the quality of the sport that has been enjoyed, but exhibits the artist's powers in the highest perfection. The plumage of the birds is equal to that of Landseer's celebrated " Dead Game" picture, and will stand the test of the most powerful glass. A mountain shepherd and his " collie" dogs are introduced with good effect, holding conversation with the gillies, about the elder of which there is a characteristic jollity that particularly strikes our fancy— in fact it is hard to believe the figures to be " still life/' so naturally does the smoke of his " clay" ooze out from betwixt the veteran's compressed lips. Of the dogs, the setters and " collies" please us more than the pointers, the principal of which exhibits rather too much of the " bull" about the neck and fore- hand. " Deer- stalking," as the title implies, is another Scotch sub- ject, the scene being in one of those wild, " depopulated" dis- tricts where this exciting sport can alone be followed. The dead deer in the ® ktre of the picture shows that the day has been so far successfulTaud the anxious watch kept by the two sportsmen from behind a piece of projecting rock betrays the expectation of further sport. The " stalkers " are attended by two braee of magnificent deerhounds, in the painting of which, as well as the noble animal to which we are indebted for the sport, Mr Ansdell has long been famous. None of the artist's previous works, however, can be compared to these for truthful reality and exquisite finish. The subject of the fourth and last picture—" Hunting"— par- takes more after the " Mother Country;" and gives variety to the set, thereby pleasing the taste of every class of sportsmen. We have here represented the finale to a run— the death of Rey- nard, whom the leading hound has just " tumbled over," pre- paratory to administering the coup de grace; to assist at which two other heunds are close at hand. The huntsman and one of his whips have dismounted from their distressed horses at the edge of a sandy brake, and the former leading on the main body of the pack, is making his way on foot to secure the trophies of the hero of the day. A pretty bit of landscape at the extreme right of the picture shows five or six of the " first flight men" emerging from a wood close by just in time to join in the " who- whoop!" This picture likewise exhibits the utmost finish, and, without flattery, we may add that the painting of the fox and group of leading hounds is as near perfection as it is possible for art to approach— every minute point being developed with pho- tographic accuracy. Mr Ansdell has added greatly to his pre- viously well- earned reputation by these masterly productions; and judging from the etchings by Messrs Stockpole, Simmons, Lucas, and Pattison, their merits are not likely to suffer in the hands * © f those first- rate artists."^ The engravings will be ift mezzotint, in the same style as the well- known " Sanctuary .>* and if the number of autographs in Messrs Lloyd's subscription book be a criterion, the series in question bids fair to rival in popularity any first- class publication of the sgrt ever produced. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, APRIL 19, 1857.

This club met'foi coursing at Spiddal on the 1st of April, and following days, to run off ft 24 dog stake, to which the members eonfined this meeting^ wishing to spare the game, which, through the kindness of a " worthy sportsman, Lord Lurgan, has been largely increased from his preserves. The meeting was not so numei- ousiy atteiided as some previous ones, owing to election contests now going on throughout Ireland, but a glance at the card will show that the dogs brought forward oomprised a selec- tion. of good ones from English, Scotch, and Irish kennels. The hares in general were not so stout as at previous meets, which was attributed to the lateness of the season; some gave severe trials, particularly in the oourses between ( Clear the Way and Lfcdy Woodville in first ties, the latter winning cleverly, Sir " William and Wyvern in second, and Day Star and Dairymaid in third, in each of which these won first rate trials. SOUTHERN CLUB ( CORE) MEETING— APEII 7. Stewards: J. Hawkes, T. H. Broderick, J. P. F. Arnott, Jas. Curtis, ID,, and M. Hayes, Esqs. Judge: Mr Q. Hawkes. Slipper: Thos. Saunders. The club met on'the 7th inst, and coursed over the Killadv Hill grounds. Everything seemed to favour the sport, the weather being delightfully fine and the ground in good order. The entry would have been larger, but unfortunately a meeting took place at Spiddal a few days before, which prevented some northern coursers from visiting their southern friends, among whom was Mr Foley, so well known and so deservedly respected on every coursing field in Ireland. Notwithstanding there was a contested election for the county going on, there was a large attendance of sportsmen on the field, many of whom gave up their franchise for the love of the long tails. On the first day some of the courses were short and unsatisfactory, but on the whole the sport was very good. The longest for the day was that between Little Unknown and Bugle over a beautiful sloping green; it was a severe and beautiful trial. Little Un- known led to the hare, and took two first turns, after which Bugle got in and won in his usual fine styie. In an hour after- wards he had to come out against Blanche in the second ties, when bis severe work had an evident effect on him, and he was ? ut out by Blanche, in a very nice course on a level grass field, t was a strange fact, that in the first ties ail the great winners on former occasions were beaten. They are Tit Bit, Put-' em- out, Polish-' em, and Larry Doolan.— On the second day the sport was everything that could be wished; and never before was such good coursing seen on the grounds of Kiliady. All the courses were long and regular trials over largo open grass fields. The first was between Mr Wise's Watty and Mr Clinton's Gre- nadier, in which the former got a severe fall, from the effects of which he has not since recovered. The place where the hare was killed was nearly a mile distant from the slips; his bye in the fourth ties was also a very severe course, and when he came oat for the finish he was quite " jumped out," and was obliged to succumb to little Blanche. She is a small, beautiful bitch, and was entered by Mr James Spaight, late Mayor of Limerick, who, though unable to attend the meeting, like a generous sportsman, sent his dogs, feeling confident that he would meet with fair play from his southern friends; nor has he been disappointed. She also on the second day ran two very severe courses; first her bye, and next her course with the Artful Dodger, and how she could have stood up against such severe work . van matter of surprise to all, but good training will do much, aiid it is enough to say that she was brought out by old Bill Foley. On the judge giving his final decision three cheers were given for Mr Spaight, and three more for Mr Wise. The CHAMPION SIAKES of £ 3103 each, with 15 added by the club. I.

Stewards: Messrs Metcalf, Brittlebank,- and Wilson. Judge: Mr Nor- man. Slipper: Mr W. Critchlow. A very pretty " little do" came off on Wednesday, through the kindness of R, W. M. Nesfield, Esq, on the estate of his Grace the Duke of Rutland. The draw took place on the previous evening at the Peacock Hotel, in Rowsley, and the meet was at the well known and much frequented ancient baronial residence, Haddon Hail, in Derbyshire. The day was beautifully fine, which afforded many an opportunity of seeing a good day's sport in the Peak. The judge, although not a professional, was well mounted, and gave general satisfaction. After the day's sport, a very agreeable evening was spent at the Hotel, in Rowsley. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, the chairman next proposed the healths of the dukes of Rutland and Devonshire, and the vice- chairman, and the healths of the members for North Derbyshire, the Hon G.

MB EDITOE: Your correspondent, " Rod and Line," differs with me on the subject of the best method of hooking " fish," and being an " experienced" fisherman, thinks that " small trout" are " in general mainly taken by striking." I must bow to the " experience" of " Rod and Line," as to the most effectual means of taking " small trout," and must confess 1 have but very little " experience" on the subject; certainly if a " small trout" was to rise at my fly I should take the advic ® of." Rod and Line" and " strike" instantly, but it would be for the pur- pose of jerking my fly away from the " small trout," and thereby preventing his being hooked, and saving myself the trouble of Mjthooking him, and throwing him back into the river. If, however, a good- sized trout were to come at my fly, I should not be in so great a hurry. There are cases, no doubt, when trout fishing, qiiick, but mast delicate striking, is absolutely necessary. For instance, on a river like the Wandle, which is often so bright and clear that you may see the bottom in very deep water, and the trout so shy that it is only by using the finest tackle and great nicety of throwing that you have any chance of taking. On such a river the trout are so knowing that they discover the deceit the instant they get the fly in their mouth ; and if you do not strike instantly they will eject ft. But " Rod and Line" ought to have known I was not writ- ing on " small trout" fishing. My words were, " I agree with your correspondent' Y.'* as to the best method of hooking ' fish,' and even go further and say— if a salmon does not hook himself you seldom do so ' by striking.'" In the angler's sporting vocabulary, a salmon is termed a " fish," a trout is a " trout," but a salmon is " a fish." In salt water, the whale is the king of fish, and % whaler speaks of the number of " fish" he has taken. But a fisherman on thebanksof Newfoundland would tell you the quantify of " cod" he had captured. The salmon is the king of fresh water fish, and he, therefore, is, in distinc- tion, honoured . by being termed the " fish." As to whether it is best to strike strong aud quickly when your fish comes at you, or to wait until you feel the tug, is a question which has many supporters on both sides. I have seen some of the finest salmon fishers who are strong and quick strikers; but I observe they lose more fish that they hook than those who adopt the waiting system. One thing is certain, that the fish must himself take the fly into his mouth before he can be hooked. - I say that you are very likely, if you strike the instant you see the rise, to jerk the fly away from the fish ; or if he has got it, to draw the fly either out of his mouth or to the edge of his jaw, and only gently prick him. When a fish rises boldly at you, he means to have the fly; he takes it in his mouth with a snap, instantly closes his jaws, and turns down ; by which means, if your line is at full stretch on the wattr, which it ought to be, he hooks himself, and doing so, you feel that peculiar tug known to all salmon fishers, and which sends a thrill through your whole system, unknown to any but salmon fishermen. It is when you feel that tug I recommend as the proper time to strike. The point of the steel has entered the fish ; your business is to drive it in deeply and securely. But it is useless to tell men not to strike when they see a rise, but wait to feel the fish. Nine men out of ten cannot restrain themselves ; the excitement is too great, and it is only very strong nerves that will stand such restraint. How often have I heard men passionately deplore the loss of a fine fish, and exclaim, " Ah, I struck too quickly !" When the water is low and fine, a salmon will often follow your fly a great distance be- fore he rises, aud when he does rise it will often be some inches behind the fly. If you then strike, you not only do not touch the fish, but you so alarm him that it is a hundred to one he comes at you again. But if you let him hare his fun with the fly, running after it directly across the river, aud perhaps jumping over it, giving it a slap with his tail, you restrain your hand, and bring the fly to the end of your cast be- fore you lift it from the water, you will find the fish become each run bolder, and in the end dash at the fly, turn down, and you are electrified by his " tug." Some salmon fishermen when fishing low fine water ( at which time the fish in general rise " short") use a very small triangle hook, whipped on so as to lie just at the end of the tail of the salmon lly. A fish rising short will often " snap" at the tail of your fly, and if you have a triangle on he gets stung. I recollect fishing the Golden River, Nova Scotia; the water was low and bright, and the sun, as a Yankee would say, " powerfully hot," but as there was a nice breeze I did not despair of taking fish. I raised a monster, aud he followed my fly nearly to my feet, then dashed over it and away; this he repeated many times, and after trying every means I knew or ever heard of to hook him, he exhausted my patience and I sat down, took out my pipe, that solace of the afflicted, aud dozingly watched the fragrant fumes as they swept over the bright pool wUere my subtle adversary lay at rest. Gradually the cloud assumed the form of a water sprite, in her hand she carried a triangle! " Euough, bright beauty," thought I, and to take out my dubbing book, whip a triangle to a very small salmon hook, tie a dark fly, cast it, and hook my prey, was but the work of a few minutes; and a goodly fish he was. " Black Ben," if he be still in the land of the living, never fails to read honest old Bell, and if he sees these lines will remember that supper under that tent which we made off that salmon. And oh ! Ben, how that night thy beauty was spoiled by those mosquitoes .'— Yours, & c, THE CAPTAIN. * All that " Y." said, and a great deal more, about striking at and hooking salmon, is to be found in " Ephemera's" Book of the Salmon. WELSH HARP FISHERY. Ms EDITOR : Having been constantly at the spot, I can bear testimony to the truth of your correspondent's letter in last week's Supplement, that these waters have not been dragged, aud the fish disposed of at Billingsgate or elsewhere. The charge has been made, I believe, in the first place, by a man disap- pointed of the situation of keeper, aud propagated by parties desirous of unfairly fishing the water through his collusion. The new proprietor I have found to be a most respectable man, taking great interest in the angling, and he has appointed an excellent and vigorous keeper. As I love " fair play," and feel that the charge is unfounded, I should be willing to bear a proportion of the expense of bringing the libellers to justice, if they are not all quite the men of straw I fancy they must be to act s © cowardly.— Yours, & c, A SUBSCEIBEE, Tyburuia, 13th March, 1857. VORACITY OF THE SALMON.— An angling correspondent nar- rates an incident in his recent experience, illustrative of the voracity of the salmon, and singular of its kind, so far as we know, thus:—" As I believe the following fact, which exhibits the salmon more in the character of the voracious jack than in accordance with his own shy, timid nature, will be interesting to your piscatorial readers, I beg, through your kindness, to record it for their information, having myself never heard or read of a similar instance. While angling at the end of last week a few miles up the Dee, in a black, full water, with natural minnow, I struck at a fish, but missed him, losing half the bait. With a second minnow, in the same spot, I hooked a salmon, which at some unknown sore broke the gut. Immediately with a third minnow, some ten yards lower down I once more hooked, and after the usual agreeable Uncertainty, landed a particularly fine salmon, with the lid hook of my lost tackle firmly fixed between the bones of the poiut of the lower jaw, having the other two hooks dangling with the tail of the minnow and nine nches of gut attached."— Aberdeen Free Press. CALEDONIAN COURSING MANAGEMENT— ROUTINE - ETIQUETTE- RED TAPERY, & o. ME EDITOE : In reply to Mr Sharno's letter, I regret to un- derstand he declines my proposition /' or a public investigation and report on the alleged mismanagements of his Club and of Caledonian coursing generally, and that he still persists in riding his high horse with fastidious notions on the above sub- jects, of no practical bearing or importance whatever to the real points in dispute. True, Mr Sharpe finds it necessary now to re- state in other words his ideas of his " point of difference" with me, but I humbly conceive his new edition, altered aou revised, is still no better than the old, and his proposition ( supposing it were accepte d), thcutrh simple, as he says, in words, would in prin- ciple be found only to cut muchlmore deeply, against himself ; for if he, an anonymous writer in your paper, is entitled phari- saically to object to me, a brother writer, as" A Public Courser," and on that ground, aud notwithstanding the answer on a similar question given in your paper of 15th February last, to challenge as he does my status as a gentleman, how much more justly would I be entitled to protest against the rank and dignity he himself assumes !— to call upon him first to cast the beam out o? bis own eye before he questions mine: and if manners be, as they outfht, the true test of gentility, to ask him how he recon- ciles the tone and language used by him in this controversy— his unfounded accusations of want of " common courtesy," of " utterly false statements," and his sneers and insinuations at " eleg. inc « and refiuement of mind," & c— with the proper bear- ing and character of a gentleman ? Aud with this remark, given as a tast of the true value and nature of Mr Sharpe's present re- vised " point of difference," I confidently leave the public to judge. In conclusion, if Mr Sharpe bad been inclined at first, as I hoped and anticipated, to aid in the reformation of the system of Caledonian mismanagements, which from a sense of public duty I. denounced— and if cancelling or rejecting his own Club rule, by which he find Ms brother stewards and managers are con- stituted the absolute, sole, and final judges and disposers of all fuestiyns and disputes, he had proposed in lieu thereof Lord igliiiton as the supreme court of appeal and review over the entire system of Scotch coursing ru es iy^ l management— I should then have been delighted at the pifRsition. But as it seems now evident such is not Mr Sharpe's object, and that no good purpose can be served by correspondence with him, re- sulting only, as it appears, in petty personal disputes and con- tentions about " etiquette," " routine.*" and various phases of red tapery, & G, of no practical value whatever among common sf> nse business men, he must excuse ma if, on such subjects, and under such circumstances, I pass his future communications unnoticed, and feel constrained to regard his propositions as merely calculated to throw dust into the eyes of the public, and to divert ' attention from the real questions at issue. Regretting the consumption of your valuable space by this apparently fruitless correspondence with Mr Sharpe, I subscribe myself as heretofore, A PUBLIC COPRSEE. GREYHOUND PSOLUCE. Mr A.

Iri pursuance of the notification contained in our last the com- mitttee of the above regatta met at the Craven Hotel, Strand, on Thursday evening last, Mr Nottidge, the treasurer, in the chair. Mr Tidbury, the honorary secretary, produced the accounts of the late regatta, and Messrs Whitehouse and Casamajor were appointed auditors. We regret to announce that the accounts showed a considerable excess of expenditure over the receipts, and we believe the committee are out of pocket by the three regattas to the extent of nearly £ 1,200. Under these circumstances we were not surprised to find that they en- tertained serious doubts as to involving themselves in further loss by undertaking any regatta this year ; they urged they had given three regattas, and each occasion had only increased their liabilities; and those who had undertaken the difficult task, aud who had not only given their time, but lost their money, met with little or no encouragement from the public and encoun- tered for the most part annoyances and abuse. They had even been accused of making a profit out of the regatta; when, how- ever, the accounts are audited we may give our readers the true state of the case. How far the committee have succeeded in the task they have undertaken they need only appeal to the public journals, which have unanimously supported their efforts. Mr Whitehouse said now that the committee had the good fortune to be honoured with the patronage of the Queen, the Emperor of the French, the King of the Belgians, and so many of the nobility, he should be very sorry that no regatta should take place this year. The committee would submit to the loss they had already incu « red, but they would not involve themselves more deeply, and if any regatta were given it would be to the extent only of the funds placed by the public at the disposal of the committee, and it was eventually proposed and carried that a regatta should take place at Putney in July next. Mr Tidbury consented to continue to act as the honorary secretary, to whose untiring exertions the public are mainly indebted for the sup- port afforded at previous regattas. The old committee were then re- elected, and it was proposed that three gentlemen from the London Rowing Club, and three from the Thames Subscrip- tion Club, be invited to join the present committee. The next meeting of the committee will be held at the White Lion Hotel, Putney, on Thursday eveniug next, at eight o'clock. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB, The monthly meeting of this club will be held at the Cale- donian Hotel, Adelphi- terrace, on Monday next, the 20th inst, at eight o'clock p. m. precisely. The opening trip of the club for the ensuing season will take place on Saturday, the 9th of May next, when the yachts will assemble at Blackwall, aud proceed from thence at four o'clock, p. m. to the club house at Erith, where the usual dinner will be provided for members and their friends at six o'clock p. m. The first match of the season, being for yachts of the first and second classes, will take place on Thursday, the 18th of June next; the second match being for third- class vessels only, on Thursday, the 2d of July uext. A steamer will be engaged by the club to accompany each match, aud those members who have paid up their subscriptions for the current year will receive free tickets of admission. The last night of entry for each match will be on the Thursday previous to the match taking place. The arrangements for the perma- nent club room have been completed, and it is now open daily for the use of house members. Those who have not already signified their intention of becoming a house member, and wish to do so, must inform the secretary, and remit £ 1 Is in addition to the usual annual subscription. Members intending to dine at the club dinner, at six o'clock on the evening of the meeting, are to give notice to Mr Elder before three o'clock on that day, and failing to give such notice, cannot be admitted. Each mem- ber may introduce one friend, upon giving notice of his inten- tion to do so. The secretary will attend at the club room from eight until ten on Monday evenings, to receive subscriptions and for other business. The following gentlemen are proposed for election at tho next meeting, viz -.— Mr M. B. Miller, Richmond, Surrey; Mr R. B. Lumley, 4, Cork- street, Burlington- gardens ; Mr L.

At a quarterly general meeting of the members, held on the 14th inst, it was resolved that the regatta should take place on the 5th and 6th of August; her Majesty's Cup to be sailed for on the 6th, in honour of Prince Alfred's birthday; a ball at the club house on the 5th, and the annual general meeting and din- ner on the 7th. The undermentioned gentlemen compose the regatta committee, viz, the Commodore, Vice- Commodore, Rear- Commodore, H. M. Hammersley, Esq; P. Hash, Esq ; Geo. Meares, Esq ; P. Rainier, Esq ; J. Liddon, Esq. The ball com- mittee will consist of General Dyce, Colonel Crabbe, Colonel Burnaby, Capt Rickford, A. Naghten, Esq; T. H. L. Phipps, Esq; J. P. Hoare, Esq. T. M. Weguelin, Esq, M. P., was elected a member on the same day. months ago, a society was established under the style and title of " The Saxon Rowing Club," for the purpose of offering op- portunities to the gentlemen of the tovrn of indulging in aquatic exercises. That society commenced its operations on the beauti- ful piece of water known as the Great Hockley Pool, and during last summer many were the pleasant evenings spent in rowing and sailing. Last week the season again commenced, and the Sono Pools were formally opened by various rowing and sailing matches. The time announced for the commencement of the operations was one o'clock, and shortly after that hour the ap- proach to the pool was crowded with numbers of both sexes, aud all classes anxious to witness the feats of their fellow townsmen. Within and without tha barrier a most ani- mated scene was presented, aud the Victoria Sax- Horn Band, under the directions of Mr Eades, played appropriate music. After some dinmy and wherry races came the sailing match, which was looked forward to with general interest. Seven beautiful yachts started, the private property of the members of the club. The names are John o' Gaunt, Secret, Waterwitch, Louisa, Polly, Prince, and Fairy. The Secret is a new boat, j ust launched, havingbeen built by Mr J. Whitty, and is a very graceful little vessel. Owiug to the absence of wind, the progress was but slow, and the boats did not have a fair chance of displaying their respective advantages. Mr Knight, the Commodore of the club, in his admirable yacht, the Fairy, came in first, and Secret, be- longing to the same gentleman, came in second. The Fairy won the match last year, and has never yet been beaten. Four- oared and other races brought the sports to a conclusion at about a quarter- past seven o'clock, after which the annual dinner took place, at Mr Doughty's, Trees lun, Hockley, John Walsh Walsh, Esq, president of the society, in the chair, and Mr J. Cornforth, the vice- president, in the vice- cliair. NORTHERN AMATEUR ROWING CLUB. This successful club commenced its opening trip for the season on Tuesday afternoon last; and, the day being fine, a large number of the members attended the procession, which took place shortly after two o'clock. The procession was headed by the renowned Harry Clasper and R. Chambers in their skiffs. It was followed by four crews in four- oared boats, one pair- oared boat, and two skiffs, with several other smaller craft and pleasure boats. Ou their return up the water to the boat heuse, they were received with a salute of guns from either side at the river. The flags of the different boats were gaily floating in the breeze^ and the whole had an animated appearance. AT the Meadows House the members and their friends partook of re- freshment, and then contested in several rowing matches. CASTDXISH AND TAYLOR.— The skiff match, for £ 15 a side, between Thomas Caudlish, brother to the once- celebrated Jem Candlish, and William Taylor, the youngest of the well- known four- oared crew of brothers, came off on Monday last. The dis- tance was from the High Level Bridge to Scotswood Suspension Bridge. Candlish, whose career is short, has been very unsuc- cessful, having lost three matches, one with Shaftoe, and two with the elder brother of his present opponent, Taylor has been engaged in many a hard struggle as one of a four- oared crew, but as a skiff- rower this may be considered his beginning. Candlish, who was the favourite at 6 and 7 to 4, was trained by Richard Clasper, and his fresh ruddy glow of health when he appeared at the start showed that he had undergone a rigorous course of training! Taylor was trained by his brother, and he, too, ap- peared in capital trim. The race took place at six o'clock in the morning, and notwithstanding that the snow fell th'ck and fast, thSre was a fair sprinkling of the admirers of aquatic sports to witness the contest. That well- known and clever judge, Mr Thomas Monkhouse, consented to act as referee, and Mr M. Taylor and Clasper officiated as umpires. A capital start was effected, Taylor taking the lead at a killing pace until reaching Bottle House Quay, where Candlish began to draw gradually upon him, and at the Skinner's Burn Candlish was leadingabout a yard. At the foot of the New Quay Taylor spurted, and again succeeded in obtaining the lead, which he maintained for some distance. Cawdlish, who appeared to be taking matters quietly, now put on an increased speed, and succeeded in drawing his boat level. A hard struggla then took place for the supremacy, both pulling vigorously for a considerable distance; Candiish's superior stamina, however, enabled him to draw his boat ahead, and he'ultimately gained an easy victory. NAUTILUS CLUB FOUK- OAKUD RACE.— A very spirited race took place on Monday among the members of the Nautilus Club, for five silver cups for the first boat, and other prizes for the second. The distance was from Putney Bridge to the Old Swan ( the club house) at Chelsea, which was done in good time, although the water was very rough. The following was the resultMessrs J. Atkinson, W. Robins, P. Flackard, H. Richardson, and W. Smith ( cox) 1 : Messrs F. Witcher, J. Arnold,! 1. Harrold, H. Windsor, and J- Cam ( cox) 2 ; Messrs J. Richardson, W. Ashford, G. Elsley, B. Eatley, and J. Ronca ( cox) 0. Mr F. J. Fell, of the Old Swan, was umpire. The start was a capital one, and very even. In going off, Ronca's crew took the lead, followed by J. Cam's, Smith's crew pressing them very closely. Off Price's Candle Factory the second and third boats both passed tho leading boat, and a very severe struggle took place between the two former, there being not more than half a length between them to Battersea Bridge. Here Smith's crew succeeded in passing their opponents, and ultimately won, after a close race, by about a length. The third boat was some distance astern at the finish.

On Tuesday last the annual general meeting of the members took place at their club house, Kingstown, to receive the report of the committee, a statement of the affairs of the club, aud to elect a committee for the ensuing year. The meeting was nu- merously attended, and the utmost satisfaction expressed at the continued increasing prosperity of the club. The balance in the bank is upwards of £ 1,000; the stock of wine iu the club cellars is of the value of £ 800; and there is 110 liability whatever outstanding. Under these circumstances it may not be a matter of surprise to record that the committee was balloted for and elected without one dissentient voice— a fact unparalleled in the history of clubs. The annual dinner took place at the termina- tion of the proceedings, the Hon George Handcock in the chair, Edward Hornsby, Esq, in the vice- chair. Twenty- four members attended, and it would be mere repetition to say more than that the entertainment was perfect in all its details, and served iu a style that left nothing to be desired. Due honour was paid to her Majesty, the telegraph having announced the auspicious event which had kept her faithful subjects in suspense. The conversation naturally turned upon yachting affairs; and, from the interest evinced, it is evident that the regatta, which this year is under the auspices of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, and, as already announced, takes place iu Dublin Bay at the eud of June, will maintain its attraction undiminished; and from the number and brilliancy of the prizes offered for competition, we may confidently expect one of the largest fleet of yachts that ever visited the matchless Bay of Dublin. The season promises to be unusually early, several yachts being already at their moorings in Kingstown Harbour, aud many more fitting out, notwithstanding the severity ol' the weather, which has been piercingly cold and bitter. The following are the officers of the club as elected :— Commodore: The Marquis Conyngbam ; Vice- Commodore : Lord Otho Fitzgerald; Trustees: Charles Vernon, E. J. Armstrong, and Edward Hornsby, Esqs; Committee: Hon George Handcock, Henry Scovell, Esq, Hon Richard G. Talbot, Thomas Worthington, Esq, Anthony E. Boweu, Esq, Captain Savides, Rev Hemy Westby, Charles J. Bond, Esq, Lowry Balfour, Esq, Edward Barton, Esq, James Byrne, Esq, William Cotter Kyle, Esa. THE LATE UNIVERSITY MATCH. ME EDITOS: On reading in your journal of last Sunday an account of the late University match I was pleased to find you giving great praise where great praise was due, fur certainly I never before saw steamboats so well and so carefully handled; but as an old hand at the oar I protest agaiust so large a number of steamboats being permitted to accompany a rowing match. Upon that occasion the river was unusually clear of craft aud boats, and the pace of an eight- oared race almost pre- cludes the possibility of the match being interfered with by the steamers after having once obtained a start of them. Yet while gliding along, as it were, upon a moving platform ( there being nine steamers exactly ;; breast for a mile), forming one of the most imposing sights I ever witnessed, I could see now difficult, if not impossible, it would have been for even the most expe- rienced persons in rowing boats to have escaped a ducking or worse misfortune; and I do hope that in the forthcoming match for the championship the directors will see the necessity of re- fusing to let so many of their boats, for be it rememoered the chances are greater of their interfering with a scullers race, on account of the difference in the pace at which it is rowed, com- pared with the late match, and it must also be borne iu mind that the season being further advanced, and it being possible to keep up with the match in rowing beats, we may, and I hope we shall, as in days of yore, see the bosom of old Father Thames covered with his sons, aye and his daughters too, enjoying them- selves in safety, while they tujs at the oar.— Yours, & c, CHAELES NBWNHAM.— 1, Walcot- square, Lambeth, [ We should indeed gladly welcome back the old state of affairs, when a great match was the signal for all the rowing craft on the river, great and small, to turn out as one man, but, " Omnia mutantur nos et ( 110 compulsion but you must) mutamur in illis," and it now only remains for the captains of steamboats to behave as well as they did 011 the occasion above alluded to, and for us to be grateful. We feel certain, too, that for the future the directors of the steamboat company, having gained golden opinions, will take an interest iu seeing these things ordered properly.] SAXON ROWING CLUB, BIRMINGHAM. If any one, twenty years ago, bad talked, of rowing and yacht- ing in Birmingham, the individual would have been laughed at as a visionary, but Birmingham, though an inland town without even a navigable river, can now boast of a club, composed of gentlemen who can wield the oar aud scull, and manage sails, in a manner that would do credit to the nautical achievements of the majority of those localities where every advantage is offered in abundance for the promotion of such pursuits. Twelve TYKE AJIATEUE ROWISG CLUB.— The first general monthly meeting of the above club was held at the Bath Hotel, on Mon- day evening, the 6th inst, when four new members were elected, and several proposed for election at the next general meeting.

The members and their friends, tp the number. of five- and- thirty, afterwards sat down to dinner at Mr Wrightson's, Bath Hotel, under tne chairmanship of the president, and vice- chairmanship of the captain, Jonathan Burnett, Esq; after which the usual loyal toasts and sucoess to the club were proposed by the chair, and duly responded to, together with the health of his grace the Duke of Northumberland, patron of the club, & c.

MR READE'S SIDE v MR DOLPHIN'S SIDE. This match was played on Wednesday, April 15th. Mr Reade's bowling was well on the wicket throughout, as nine overs for one run only and four wickets will show. The batting also of Mr Vowles, whom we consider a very promising cricketer, is deserv- ing of great praise ; nor must we omit to mention the good field- ing of Mr Mesham at long- leg and middle- wicket.

Negotiations are now pending between the managers of the two Elevens, for selecting the players to contend iu this great match. We shall next week, no doubt, be enabled to lay a cor- rect list before our readers. We have been applied to from all parts of the country on this subject, and many of the communi- cations touch upon the probable condition of the ground; in answer to which we venture to assert that, although the present changeable weather, with heavy rains, frosty nights, and a hot sun ( when he shows), is most unfavourable for getting a ground into order, Mr Dark will put his shoulder to the wheel ( or rather the roller), and do all in his power to procure such wickets that the game, so far as that is concerned, shall be won or lost upon its merits. The subject of umpires is under consideration, and will shortly be decided. A2T APPEAL TO CRICKETERS, & c. LIXI/ Y" WHITE'S COLLECTION OP SCOEES FROM 17* 16, IN PEE- PAEATION.— The compiler of this projected work would feel particularly obliged if secretaries of clubs or other gentlemen would communicate with him, in order to assist in obtaining correct copies of scores of old cricket matches, as well as other information relating to the game, such as the " alteration of the laws, and size of stumps, from time to tim- j," & c, & c. The loan of score- books, or notices of any remarkable events that have occurred in the game, will also be thankfully received and imme- diately acknowledged. All communications will receive instant attention, and the compiler trusts that this appeal for the pur- pose of publishing a " complete history" of tho noble game will not be in vain. Bell's Life in London, from its first number, as well as the Marylebone Club books ( by authority of the com- mittee), have been carefully searched, and many important and interesting events abstracted; numerous other reprint and manuscript copies have also been examined, which fully prove that many other good matches were played years back, and he hopes the scores of them are still obtainable. Address to Fred. Lillywhite, 2, New Coventry- street, Leicester- square, London. KENSINGTON CLUB.— The members of this club held their annual meeting, for the election of officers, & c, at the Oval, ou Thursday, April 16, when the following officers were appointed :— Mr Stephen Jones, president ; Mr W.

MATCH BETWEEN JENNS AND A'COUET.— The two miles walk between these pedestrians, for £ 5 a side, came oft' on Monday last, at Lord's Cricket Ground, St John's Wood, A'Courfc receiving, according to the stipulations in the articles, a start of 50 yards. A little beforef twelve o'clock both men took up th- r respective positions, and at the given signal dashed away . v rapid pace. The result of the match is soon toid, for from tii& instant of starting Jenns Wgan gaining on his man, and so im- proved his position, that before the first 400 yards had been com- pleted he had closed the gap between them, and taken the lead. From this period of the match Jenns had the event in his own hands, aud won at his ease!, though, by tho friends ofA'Court, it is alleged he did not at starting, by any means, walk fairly. [ We have received several letters relative to this match, im- peaching the fairness of Jenns's walking, but we have seen the referee, who says everything was fair and square, and we make it an invariable rule to abide by the decision of that official. Jenns can, therefore, haver the stakes by calling at our office next Thursday, at twelve o'clodk. PEDESTRIANISM AFGARRATT. LANE, WANDSWORTH. MONDAY, AFEIL 13.— This being a festival day a goodly mus- ter of the admirers and supporters of pedestrianism assembled here to witness the matches announced iu our columns to come off. The first event decided was a spin between CHAELES COOK OF MAEYLEBONE AND RICHAED EDEN OE BAENES.— The distance these pedestrians had to run was 1,160 yards, for £ 5 a side, and soon after four o'clock the men came to the starting- post in the midst of a rather heavy fall of hail, which, much to the satisfaction of the spectators, ceased imme- diately after the start. Cooke, when stripped of liis ordinary " togs," was seen to be all that could be desired. The referee hav- ing taken up his position, the signal for starting was given, when, at the second attempt, they dashed off in rapid career. The lead was taken by Cooke, who at a clippiug pace cut out the running, leaving a gap of some tfn or a dozeu yards between himself and his opponent. Eden,, thus in the rear, continued to follow closely, and in good style, and from his running it was apparent that he was prudently holding himself iu reserve for the final effort. Until they had arrived within three hundred yards of the goal, Cooke held the front position, but at this period Eden closed up the gap between them; howefer, Cooke was by no means a beaten man, for it was not until after aJhie race to the end, that Eden went in a winner by not more two feet. Run on heavy ground in two minutes 50 sectfMs. Eden cau have the stakes by calling at our office next Thursday, at twelva. HANDICAP RACE OP ONE MILE.— The competitors in this event were handicapped by " William Price in the following manner:— Charles Cooke ( of Marylebone), 40 yards start, Henry Andrews ( of Holborn) 40, James Wilson 50, James Mahoney 60, William Newman ( of London) 70, Jeremiah Ma- hony 80, J. Castles 100, Spring 100, Henry Woodstock ( of Marylebone) 100, Robs haw 120. On the signal- gun being fired the parties got off in capital style, the leading men cut- ting out the running, which, however, soon became too good for Robshaw, Spring, aud Castles, who, finding they had not the remotest chance; prudently retired from the contest after the completion of the first lap. In the second round the lead was taken by Jeremiah Mahoney, while Woodstock in turn was passed by Newman, Andrews, and Wilson, and these men, as they raced on to the goal had, in the third lap, to succumb to little Cooke. Every foot of ground was gamely contested by the remaining men, and, after a spirited struggle, they went by the goal in the following order :— Jeremiah Mahoney winner by six yards, Cooke second, Newman third, Andrews fourth, Wilson fifth, James Mahohey, the only remaining antagonist in the race, a long " pull": in the rear. Ruu in 4oiin 50sec, TUESDAY.— The four miles Walking match between Free- man and Underwood, for £ 5 a side, came oft to- day. The weather was wretched in the extreme ; nevertheless, there was a fair as- semblage of spectators. Freeman was the favourite at 6 to 4. On the start being effected, the competitors went off at a slapping pace, the lead being taken by Underwood, who maintained this advantage until they had completed the first lap, when Free- man, after a fine spurt, gave his opponent the " go- by," and soon placed a rather formidable gap between them. During the struggle the competitors walked in a very game style, but although Underwood did his utmost to regain the front position he could not succeed in his efforts, for Freeman held the lead gallantly to the end, aud went by the goal a winner, doing the distance in 33min ifesec. The winner can have the stakes by calling onus next Thursday, at twelve o'clock. DOINGS TT BELLEVUE, MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, APEIL 11.— Yesterday being Good Friday, a considerable number of pleasure- seekers visited the gardens, as, notwithstanding that heavy rain fell at intervals, upwards of 6,000 persons weire present. This afternoon, on the contrary, was beautifully fine, and there was above an average attendance of spectators assembled to witness the following events:— TETLOW AND GOSLING.— This was a sprint race of 140 yards, for £ 5 each, the competitors being J. Tetlo- v of Manchester and J. Gosling of Stockport. Mr J. Jennison was appointed referee, and the betting was 6 to 4 on Gosling. The bird 011 this occa- sion gained an easy triumph, Gosling winning by three vards. THE MATCH of one mile, for £ 10 a side, with T. Hargreaves of Waterfoot and M. Law of Millgate did not come off; and that for £ 5 each, distance 440 yards, with Barlow and Fairess, was also void. RABBIT COUESING.— This was a sweepstakes for dogs not ex- ceeding 201b weight, the best of three courses. First prize £ 8, second £ 3, third £ 1 10s, and fourth 10s. The following is a return of the sport:— Reed's Tyler beat Trow's Fan, Beddowe's Doctor beat Bibby's Nelly, Seymour's Jetty Treffz beat Ashurst's Silver, Hardmah's Jip beat Senior's Mischief, Trow's Spot' - jfc Haslam's Nancy, Smith's Nancy beat Wild's Catch, Tirvs Nettle beat Fox's Alice, aud Trow's Fly beat Beddowe's Bess.— Second ties: Tyler beat Doctor, Jetty Treffz beat Jip, Spot beat Nancy, and Fly beat Nettle.— Third ties: Spot beat Fly, and Jetty Treffz beat Tyler.— Deciding Course: Mr John Trow's Spot of Salford beat Joseph Seymour's Jetty Treffz of Salford and won the first prize of £ 8; Jas. Reed's Tyler of Ashton gained the third prize of £ 110s; and Mr Trow ( in addition to winning the sweepstakes) carried off the fourth prize, with his bitch Fly. Mr John Jennison ably and satisfactorily discharged the onerous duties of referee, and the admirers of the canine species heartily enjoyed the afternoon's sport. CANINE RACE.— A barred bitch belonging to Kinder Smith of Failsworth, and another ( the name of whose owner did not transpire), ran 200 yards, for £ 20 a side. Smith's bitch, who gave her opponent four yards start, won by five yards. SNOW AND SPOT.— Waites's Snow andBarnett's Spot also ran 200 yards, for £ 5 a side, Snow having 14 yards 14 inches start. This was a remarkably close affair at the finish. Snow winning, though only by six inches. MONDAY— Considering that Easter Monday is observed by a large proportion of the artisans of Manchester and the neigh- bouring towns as a " red letter day," the attendance at Bellevue fell far short of what we have been accustomed to witue.- s in previous years, the assemblage on the course not exceeding 3,000. This, however, may be attributed in some measure to the weather, for hotlv yesterday ( when the snow finches deep) BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, APRIL 19, 1857. —- • •-• • * a a I J I— : -•- ' •• .; • rr-—, . . * „ t—_—_ a i to- day more resembled chilly December than the usual serial mouth of April. Subjoined are notices of the events decided:— / . . • Six MELB HANDICAP FOOT RACE— This was, of course, the « great" event, and as most © f the men engaged in it had pre- viously run long distances upon the same. ground, the result was looked forward to by the • holiday folks with considerable interest. The prizes were apportioned as follows :— First £ 12, second £ 3, third £ 110s, fourth 15s, and one of the; conditions was that no prize would be given to any pedestrian who was not within 200 yards of the winner at the finish. At half- past foal- o'clock the whole of the men who had entered came upon the course and took their respective positions, " Mr John Jennison acting as referee. The names of the " long winded uns" and their relative distances weie as under:— John Trainor ( Liver- pool) scratch, James Sanderson ( Rochdale) 200 yards start, William Dean ( Barnsley) 240, Thomas Ryder ( Gorton) 250, William Buckley ( Rochdale) 320,, Charles Wolstenholme ( Bury) 320, John Tetlow ( Hollinwood) 840, Charles Ward ( Oldham) 350, Robert Grime ( Chowbent) 480. The bet- ting was 5 to 4, against . Tetlow, 3 to X agst Sanderson, ( alias Treiele), and 4 to 1 each agst Trainor and Ryder. We did liotshear any of the others backed. On the signal gun being fired, they bounded off, and Grime, with the long distance given him, of oaarso first crossed the mark at the end of the half mile lap. He was soon disposed of, and Ward took the advance, closely followed by Tetlovf, but with the exception that the two alternately changed positions, no change worthy of notice took place until the fifth lap had been completed, when Grime, who, from the, first, never had a chance, gave up. After 3i miles had been traversed, Ryder followed his example, and Dean of Barnsley retired from thecontest when the fourth mile had beeu concluded. At this point, Ward was stilliufront, Sauderson( whohadgradually crept up) being next, and Tetlow third; the three not being above a couple of yards apart— Sanderson most fancied, and the other pedestrians having no chance of success. No change what- ever occurred in the positions of the leading men throughout. At the end of the 11th lap Ward was three yards ahead of San- derson. and Tetlow was a dozen paces in the rear of him, evi- dently beaten. In the final round Sanderson u'sud every effort to get up, but failed, though, when 300 yards from home, his strenuous exertions did not justify a forlorn hope, for he was even then in close attendance. In a few strides, however, Ward gra- dually left him, turned aud waved his hand in triumph to San- derson when 60 yards from the goal, then stopped, aud walked in about 20 yards in advance, Tetlow being nearly the same dis- tance in the rear of Sanderson for third place; the others were a long way behind. Ward ( the winner), who ran with the greatest pluck and perseverance throughout, accomplished the six miles ( less the 350 yards he received at start) in 32min 35sec, and thus the town of Oldham— though on this occasion unex- pected by many— posseSsses another addition to its previous well- known- pedestrian celebrities. We ought not to emit to speak in terms of praise of Trainor of Liverpool ( who started at scratch) for his manly though unsuccessful efforts. TICKLE AND CRITCHLEY.— John Tickle and WM. Critchley ( both of the neighbourhood of St Helens) are matched to run 200 yards, for £ 20 a side, at Bellevue, on the 11th May; to start by a tape. Mr Holden lias received £ 3 each. FUSILIER AND FANNY.— W. Brookes of Rochdale is the owner of Fusilier, and Fanny belongs to J. Haslatn of Simister- lane, near Middleton, and this match was for £ 15 a side, distance 200 yard3, Fanny ( on account of disparity in weight) having 2 yards 29in start. The betting was 6 to 4 on Fanny, and, after an, excellently contested race, she won by nine inches. Mr G. Piers ( in the absence of Mr Holden) filled the office of referee. NANCY AND BETSY.— Mr Holden has had handed to him another deposit, making £ 3 each now down, on account of the race of 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, with W. Hirst's Nancy and W. Apple- by's Betsy ( both of Halifax), which is to come off at Bellevue on the 2d May. Betsy is to give Nancy eight yards start outside. FLY AND LADY.— Mr John Trow of the Windsor Bridge Inn, Salford, has matched bis bitch Fly against Wm. Ivil's Lady of Clifton to run 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, at Bellevue, on Saturday next, the 25th inst; Fly to give Lady six yards start outside. For this event Mr Holden has received £ 5 a side, and he is also to- be referee. DOINGS AT HYDE PARK, SHEFFIELD, AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. MONDAY, APRIL 13.— Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather there were not less than 3,000 spectators present to- day to witness the Great All England Handicap Race, and Other sports. HINCHLIFPE AND WALKER.— This was a spin of a quarter of a mile, for £ 25 a side, between William Hinchliffe and young Walker, both from the neighbourhood of Barnsley. After the firbt forty yards had been gone over the favourite, Hinchliffe, took the lead, was never caught, and ran in the victor by half a score yards. The stakes shall be sent, as directed, on Tuesday next. GREAT ALE ENGLAND HALF- MILE HANDICAP RACE.— The course was next cleared for the great event of the day, the handicap race for money prizes amounting to £ 68, given by the spirited proprietress of the ground, Mrs Hannah Heathcote. The prizes were divided as follows, viz :—£ 50 for the first man, £ 10 for the second, £ 5 for the third, and £ 1 each for those that won their heats, not getting'one of the three prizes.— Lot 1; Jos.

Darley won just as he liked by a score yards.— Lot 5: Wm. Tuck ( Holkham) 39 yards start first, Job Smith( Hulme) 48 second; three others ran. Tuck won one of the gamest races ever seen by half a yard, Smith, who was second, falling dead beat at the finish.— Lot 6: Alfred Frost ( Crookes) 45 yards start first, JohnSaville ( Oldham) 10 second; four ran. Frost won in a canter by half a score yards. TUESDAY.— PIGEON SHOOTING.— The sports to- day com- menced with a sweepstakes of £ 1 each, at 5 birds each, 21 yards rise, lfoz of shot, double guns, the use of one barrel allowed to stand 19 yards, shot limited to \\ oz; ten shot. The old crack shot, W. Bailey, was the victor, killing all his birds in good style. SMITH AND LITTLE WOOD.— This was a race of 832 yards, for £ 10 a side, between Job Smith of Hulme aud Frederick Little- wood of Attercliffe. Smith, who was the favourite at 5 to 4, won an excellent race by three yards. The course was now cleared for the DECIDING HEAT POR THE HALE MILE HANDICAP RACE.— Joseph Hardmau 37 yards start first, George Darley 37 second, Wm. Tuck 39 third, Pearce Holroyd' 50 fourth, Wm. Preo. or 53 fifth, Alfred Frost 45 sixth. A great deal of betting took place at the following quotations:— Even on Hardman agst the field, 8 to 1 agst Darley, 6 to 1 each agst Tuck and Proctor, and 7 to 1 each agst Holroyd and Frost. Hardman won a good race by three yards; Darley beating Tuck for the second place by the same distance. Time 2sec under 2min, BADGER AND SAVAGE— B.

Easter Monday was one of the most uncomfortable days for all out- door amusements that could have taken place— a cold cutting wind, attended with rain, snow, and hail the greater portion of the day— and was a sad drawback to hundreds who came by rail from the midland districts on a holiday trip to Bir- mingham. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, however, there was a very large attendance during the day at Aston Cross Grounds, to witness several matches which came off. The principal attraction of the day was the six score match be- tween Garringtou of Birmingham and Hadley of Wednesbury, for £ 10 a side. Garringtou has run many matches, his late op- ponents, Woodhead and Hill, being easily defeated by him. Hadley is also well- known in his districts, and his last opponents . were Level and Edge, whom he polished off in first- rate style. The men, therefore, being considered well worthy of notice, found many backers at evens. The ground, from the heavy rain and snow, was rotten in many parts. The men on stripping at scratch looked in excellent trim, and after standing a pelting storm of snow and rain, dodging about for the start for twenty minutes, they got away, Garrington having the lead. After three score was run, Garrington went ahead, and ran in a winner by three yards. BAENETT AND LITTLEHALES,— Previous to the above race these men toed the scratch to run a quarter of a mile, for £ 3 a side. Betting : 2 to 1 on Littlehales. The men got away with a level start, Barnett taking the lead for a short distance, when he fell in the rear, and Littlehales ran in a winner by four yards. KETTLEBT AND ENSOR.— These men also met on the above grounds to run their six score yards match, for £ 3 a side ; each looked in good trim. Betting level.

BOWLER AND CLEGG.— Concerning this match we have during the week received numerous communications, and as we have not altered our determination with respect to the disposal of the stakes we should not again have wasted words upon such an un- satisfactory piece of business, but to show the necessity in all cases of sending money t © the principals only. Among other letters is one from Mr Proctor, of Drayton Manor Inn, Leeds, and one from Mr George Burniston, 65, Bridge- street, Leeds, both of whom claim the whole of Clegg's stakes as having been supplied by them. One of these claims must necessarily be an invention, and it is, of course, not- iu our power to determine the real Simon Pure. Supposing it were, such investigations ( called for as they might be on every occasion in which we are stakeholders) would produce such an endless thread of inquiry as to be a complete obstruction to all other business. Another letter we have to notice is one from a Mr John Kellett of Low Moor, accusing us, in conjunction with a Mr Rush worth, of " robbing" ( his own words) him of money to which he is en- titled, namely, the whole of the stakes in this race. How this gentleman construes the returning each man his own into a robbery of a person we have never heard of we are at a loss to conceive. Clegg states his willingness to double the stakes at present in our hands, and run Bowler again on the same terms, on the 11th May ; and if this suits Bowler, he must send articles to him at the Odd Fellows'Arms, Esnley, near Wakefield ; if not, each is desired to send his address, that the affair may be settled. WILLIAM MADDOX and THOMAS KIRBY, both of Shrewsbury, ran 140 yards, for £ 10 a side, on the Old Heath- road, near the above place, on the 10th inst, in the presence of at least four thousand persons. Kirby, who has run seven races, and only suffered defeat on this occasion, stands 5 feet 6 inches, and weighed 8st 10lb, aud was in good condition. Maddox, who is an inch shorter, weighs 8st, had been trained by Peaton of Salop, and was in splendid fettle. The betting opened at evens, but so anxious were Kirby's party, that after some time they came out with 2 to 1 on their man, who booked winning as a certainty; and a good deal of the circulating medium depended on the issue. After five false starts they got away together, but ere they had traversed twenty yards Maddox dashed in front, and before they had gone 80 yards led the way by five yards, when the pace began to tell upon him, aud Kirby began to gain ground; but the goal was too near, and Maddox ran in a winner by two yards. BODY AND RIDLEY.— The long- pending match, for £ 25 a side, between William Body and Stephen Ridley was brought to a final issue on Monday afternoon last, in the presence of a large number of spectators, notwithstanding that the weather, for the season of the year, was of a most wretched description, snow having fallen to the depth of nearly a foot during the morning. Both parties were well supported, and fully alive to the heavy exchange of cash which would dspend upon their exertions, and had consequently undergone a rigid course of training. The race was once round Newcastle Racecourse, to start at the cut and ruu towards Morpeth Turn. The betting was even. Ac- c rding to the articles they started by mutual consent, and were not long in getting away. They started evenly, but had not gone far before Body went in front; he continued to make the running at a rapid pace for nearly a mile and a half, when Ridley was completely " knocked up," aud Body won as he liked. BARRETT AND HEATH.— Mr Jackson informs us that this match came off pursuant to articles, on Tuesday last, at the Green Man, Leytonstone, and that Barrett proved an easy win- ner by four yarns. The stakes shall, therefore, be sent to him as soon as we receive his address. DEAN AND HINCHLIFFE.— The stakes in this match, £ 25 a side, shall be forwarded to Dean as directed, on Tuesday next.

NEWCASTLE EASTER WRESTLING AND GREAT NORTHERN GAMES. These athletic sports took place on Monday and Tuesday last, in the Society's Ground, near the Infirmary. After raining during the night, a heavy fall of snow covered the ground as early as seven o'clock, which, however, thawed during the fore- noon, and had quite disappeared before the amusements com- menced. It was thought that this unfavourablestateof the weather would render the praiseworthy exertions of the committee al- most nugatory, but, as the day advanced, the sky partially cleared. On each side of the arena large erections were placed, and the centre stand had undergone quite a change from former years. In the central stand we observed among the patrons of the sport, T. E. Headlatu, Esq, M . P.; G. Ridley, Esq, M. P.; Geo. Crawshay ( Mayor of Gateshead), Mr Alderman Smith, and H. Fife, Esq-; the Rev Mr Raine, & c, & c. The prizes were open to all. £ 42 for men of all weights; £ 42 for meu of list; £ 8 for cham- pion wrestlers of all weights; £ 8 for champion list men; £ 5 for » hampion 9ist men; £ 3 for a pole leap, £ 2 for vaulting; £ 2 fbr a sack race; £ 2 for a belt race; and a prize for the neatest costume. In addition to the above the Right Hon Lord Decies had given £ 14, and the society £ 11, to makeup a prize of £ 25, to be wrestled for by the natives of Northumberland. Iu compliment to the right hon lord, the committee named the prize " The Decies Prize." The entries for the list prize numbered 128, and brought together some of the best wrestlers of the day. The judges were, Mr John Gate ( of Wigton), and Messrs Jamieson and Dickinson ( of Newcastle). As the falls are so numerous we shall only particularise the win- ners. . In the first round J. Whitehead, an old favourite in the Newcastle Ring, was felled with an outside " chip" by J. Craig of Allendale. In the second round B. Cooper cross- but- tocked W. Lee. In this round J. Harrington, Ferry Hill, was also brought to the ground with a " hipe." The betting was 6 to 4 on Harrington. J. Scott, Carlisle, cross- buttocked W. Robson. In the third round R. Fawcett, after a hard struggle, cross- buttocked J. Scott. ELEVEN STONE PRIZE.— Final fall : T. Davidson threw B. Cooper twice in succession, and won the prize. The first fall was by an outside " hipe," and the second by an inside one. The next contest was with the eleven stone champion men, for which it will be seen Scott proved the winner. ELEVEN STONE CHAMPION PRIZE.— For this prize R. Fawcett felled tire winner of the eleven stone prize, and James Scott buttocked J. Harrington ; Cooper was thrown by James Pat- tinson of Weardale. Iu the second round Pattinson brought Whitehead down; and James Scott, after a sevtre contest, threw R. Fawcett. This was considered to be the best wrestle of the day, and created a deal of excitement. In the final round Scott threw Pattinson, and won the prize. BELL RACE.— W.

FIGHT BETWEEN JESSE HATTON AND WILLIAM CAMPBELL ( OF GEEENWICH) FOR TWENTY- FIVE POUNDS A SIDE. This contest was brought to a satisfactory issue ou Tuesday, on the Home Circuit. Hatton has long been associated with the doings of the P. R., having fought several battles, and although his scientific qualifications have never been very conspicuous, still his determination has been such as to gain, for him the good opinion of his friends. His last appearance was with George Baker of Chatham, in which he was defeated. Jesse has at all times been backed by the sporting men of the East End. This was Campbell's debut in the roped arena, he being backed by Jem Cross of Greenwich, in whose academy he has for some months past been known as a rough and ready operator with the mittens. Being anxious to gain milling celebrity, Cross agreed to find the needful, but from his performance on this occasion we cannot give auy promising hopes for the future, as he was in all essential points a perfect novice. Had he possessed the slightest knowledge of the science of boxing he could have won the contest over and over again, for Hatton at times was in that state of physical prostration that it only needed a good aud well- fought- round or two to have given him the coup de grace. Campbell is quite a young man, but is strongly made and well put together. While the match was in progress there had been complaints on the part of his backers of his not paying the necessary attention to his training; but be this as it may, there could be no doubt that he was in admirable condition; Hatton was likewise in fine condition, but stale. The belli- gerents were confined to lOst 41b, and on Monday they went through the ceremony of weighing at Mr Beaumont's, the Grapes, Albermarle- street, Clerkenwell. Both were within the prescribed limit, but Hatton had the advantage by some 4lb or 5lb weight. The contest produced much excitement, and by the time the tough old Commissary had completed the ring arrangements there could not have been less than 1,000 metro- politans assembled on the field of battle. Jesse, who was very confident, was waited ou by George Brown and Jack Hicks, while Dan Collins and Samuel Millard of Birmingham were retained to do the requisite for Campbell, who in betting was the non- favourite, the friends of Hatton freely backing him at 6 to 4. By two o'clock the whole of the preliminaries had been adjusted. THE FIGHT. Round 1. The ball was at once opened by Hafton, who was evidently anxious to commence operations'. lu dashing out with both mawleys he got well home with the right on the side of the head, when Campbell retreated to the ropes. Hatton followed, and attempted to administer a slashing thwack with his right, but was not within distance. Hatton, in boring in, closed, when Campbell went down. 2. After a little ma- noeuvring on the part of Jesse, he let fly with the left, and planted a stinger on the top of Bill's head. In retreating, Campbell was followed by Hatton to the ropes, when, as Jesse let fly, his antagonist countered with him, and both did con- siderable execution. Hatton now fought his way in for a close, when Campbell in the struggle lifted his opponent completely off his legs, and both went to grass. 3. Hatton tried his left, but was not within distauce. As he came rushing in for a close his antagonist retreated, but Hatton was not to be denied. In a most determined manner he forced his opponent to the ropes, and in the exchanges both got well home, Jesse with the right twice on the side of the head, and Campbell on the top part of the cranium. This brought them to a close, when, after a dose of fibbing from Jesse they both went down. 1. Hat- ton came gaily from his corner, but had not long to wait. Jesse, after putting out his left as a feeler, followed up with the right, and in a round hit got home with considerable force on the side of the knowledge- box. Campbell then broke ground, when he was followed by Hatton until they got near the ropes. Jesse, often hitting out with more resolution than judg- ment, wanted to close, whflteas he was rushing in, Bill hit out wildly, and with the rigJMpad the good luck to plant a stinger on his antagonist's left pHier. Hatton fell forward on kis face, and all round the ring iMgined that this chance right- hander, on the part of Campbeliniad brought the bontest to a speedy and unlooked- for close. Hatton unquestionably, was all abroad, and on being taken to his corner, he was bleeding copiously from an ugly cut under his peeper. 5. Immediately " time" was called Campbell came up, while in Hatton's corner the utmost confusion prevailed. " Time, time," was again and again repeated, when at length Jesse came staggering to the scratch. His seconds were extremely busy, and made Bill open his hands to show he had nothing in them, the reason for this being obvious to all. Hicks in this instance very much exceeded the duties of a second. Had Campbell possessed the judgment, combined with the requisite qualifications, he must have won the battle with the utmost ease. Hatton had by no means shaken off the stupefying effects of the severe hit received in the preceding round, and so totally prostrate was he in himself, that it only needed one effective spank to have finished the contest. This finishing stroke Campbell was not, however, able to give, for after a very harmless round, in which nothing was done, Hatton went down in the centre of the ring all of a heap. 6. Camp- bell on coming up forced the fighting, and after administering a little- un on the damaged peeper, Hatton went down.— 7. Hatton took the initiative, planting the left on the top part of his opponent's brain canister; Campbell iu return delivered the left and right on the head, but there did not appear to be sufficient " powder" in these blows to make them effective. As Hatton tried to close Campbell retreated to the ropes, when he slipped and fell. 8. Campbell, with a half spring, at- tempted to plant the left on the head, but the intended com- pliment was not up to the mark, Hatton hit out wildly with both mauleys, when Campbell went down. 9. Hatton' made the fighting, getting home the right on the side of the head with considerable force. Campbell, who had not the least idea of stopping, broke ground, but as his antagonist followed with impetuosity he stood and fought gamely. The exchanges, though lacking precision, were nevertheless delivered with good effect, both doing execution on the upper works. In a close they strug- gled and both went down. 10. Hatton dashed out the right, but too round. In a rally they got to the ropes, and in the struggle that ensued both fell. 11. This was a spirited and hard fought round; They went to work in a regular ding- dong manner. In the counters both got on with telling force, aud as Campbell retreated Hatton followed and forced the fighting with undaunted resolution. In the exchanges a good dose of pepper was administered, when the lads closed, Jesse as a finish giving his man a fine cross- buttock. 12. Hatton, first at the scratch, again forced the fighting; hitting, however, left and right with more determination than judgment, so that he did but little execution. In a rally they closed near Hatton's corner, when Jesse slipped from his own impetuosity and went down. 13. Jesse opened the ball by dashing out the right, but it did not reach its destination. After a pause the lads again went to work, and after an exchange of counters, Jesse slipped and fell upou his knees. Campbell stood lookiug for a moment at his prostrate foe, and then went to his corner smiling. 14. Campbell, in leading, succeeded in planting a stinger on Jesse's nasal prominence, who, on the instant dashed at his man. Hatton, with the left and right, administered some telling punishment, while his opponent in return was by no means idle, as he fought Jesse entirely on the give aud take principle. In a rally they got to the ropes, when Hatton fell on his knees, but immediately recovered his equilibrium, and re- newed the battle. After some spirited exchanges, they closed, and in the struggle for the fall both went down in a harmless style. Having so far gone into a minute description of the con- test, by which our readers will be enabled to form a pretty accu- rate judgment respecting the merits of the belligerents, we may state, and that as concisely as possible, all that need now be written. On both sides, during this pro- tracted battle, several fluctuating changes took place, but neither man appeared able at the proper moment to give the finishing touch when required. That Hattou fought with great gameness will not for a moment be disputed; but the style in which he contended with his opponent will not add to his reputation as a man of science, for this by one and all was admitted to be his worst performance within the magic circle. He not only hit round, but also open- handed, aud had this not been the case, his hitting would have been more effective, and would, perhaps, have been the means of bringing the contest to a much speedier termination. He, however, fought through- out, and particularly when the tide was strong against him, with the most unflinching perseverance. In the whole 130 rounds were fought, occupying three hours and ten minutes, when Campbell, in the last of these bouts, many of which were of a most contemptible description, was knocked out of time. The sponge was, therefore, thrown up in token of defeat and Hatton hailed the winner. REMARKS.— Beyond being a game and resolute contest, in which both men did their utmost for victory, this battle has little or nothing to recommend it to the patrons of the noble art. Campbell, we are confident, is never destined to make a " star," though with an opponent of his own standing he will at all times be able to make a game and spirited fight; while it is far from impossible for him to gain some better knowledge of boxing than he now possesses. Had he been anything of a boxer, in the true acceptation of the term, he must have won this battle, for we have seldom seen a man more completely licked than Hat- ton was two or three times during the tourney. During the contest considerable confusion prevailed round the ring, and Campbell's friends complained that they did not receive fair play from the referee; but iu this we unhesitatingly say they are wrong, as, all things considered, this functionary acted with the utmost fairness and impartiality. Of Hatton we need only say that he is entitled to every praise and consideration as a game man ; but, having left the ring a winner, he will do well and wisely to take our hint and retire and leave it and its honours, not to gamer, but moreyouthful and fresher candidates. Jem Cross has called on us to complain of the conduct of the referee, who he declares was very partial in his judgment, and repeatedly passed over deliberate fouls on the part of Hatton, he says moreover that his man was robbed out of the money. Our reporter declares he saw nothing but what was perfectly fair on the part of the referee, although, at the same time, he admits that the conduct of Hicks ( one of Hafflbn's seconds) was not such as to earn him credit among his friends. As to the result, all we have to do is to abide by the decision of a referee in auy battle, but on the present occasion there is no necessity for appealing to this person, as Cross himself seems to have thrown up the sponge for his man. The money is to be given to Hatton at George Brown's, Bell, Red Lion Market, to- morrow ( Monday) night. RABBIT FANCY— Israel Richardson, of 182, Kingsland- road has three sooty bucks he will show against any other three sooty bucks in England, under 12 months old, from one stock, for all properties, for from £ 5 to £ 100 a side. He has also a light fawn buck, of the same age, which he will chow against any other of the same colour and age, on the same terms. All com- munications to be made to the Bell and Crown, 181, Kingsland- road, where J. R. can be seen auy evening after nine o'clock, and a match cau be made. The Editor of Bell's Life to be stakeholder. BILLIARDS.— ROBERTS AND TABLEY.— As Mr Roberts de- clines giving the odds Mr Tabley asked, Tably makes him ano- ther offer, to take 25 in 100, the best of 13 games, for £ 50 a side. If this will suit Mr Roberts, Tabley will be glad to make a match, to be played in Grimsby, a fortnight after it is made. The Editor of Bell's Life to be stakeholder. WILLIAM WHITE ( THE CALEDONIAN MOUSE) AND BELL.— These lads, who are of the light weight division, had to fight in the same ring as the above men, and no time was lost in getting them to work. White was waited upon by Joseph Hoiles ( the Spider) and Jack Hicks ; while George Brown and Robert Fuller ( the pedestrian) did the polite for Bell. The combatants, who displayed many excellent milling points, fought in a merry dashing style for nearly an hour, when the referee was compelled to put a stop to hostilities, iu consequence of the prevailing darkness. With the exception of some injury to the Mouse's left hand, but little harm © n either side was done; and the lads are to meet again on Wednesday next in the same ring with George Crockett and Cobley, when there can be no doubt a game and exciting mill will be the result. Thus terminated the An answer j doings of Tuesday, the return to the metropolis not being effected until nearly midnight. The friends of Bell have deposited £ 5 with us to increase the stakes between him and the Mouse, and they state that if the Mouse will cover this amount and call on Sir Abrahams, at King's Cross, the stakes can be increased to any amount not exceeding £ 50 a side ; the battle still to come off on Wednesday. FIGHTS FOR WEDNESDAY NEXT. JOB COBLEY AND GEORGE CROCKETT, FOR £ 100 A SIDE.— Another deposit of £ 10 a side for this mill, which comes off ou Wrednesday, was made ai. Mr Lockwood's, White Lion, Drury. lane, on Wednesday evening, aud the final staking of £ 25 a side is to take place at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, Leicester- square, to- morrow ( Monday) evening, when final ar- rangements will be made as to the whereabouts. The lads are to go to scale on Tuesday, between twelve and two, at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane. Both have been for some time in active trainimr, and are reported bang up to the mark. Each, as our readers are aware, has met the renowned Bob Travers in the battle field, but with different results; Crockett having been vanquished, ana Cobjey having overcome the dusky hero, Cobley is rather the favourite in the bettisg, but the friends of Crockett appear eager to back their man at any point beyond even betting. Job Cobley will arrive at Ben Oaunt's, Coach and Horses, St Marfcin's- laue, to- morrow ( Monday), and will be glad to meet his friends. Crockett will take up his quarters at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, the same evening. The ring will, of course, be preserved by members of the Association, under the charge of Ned Adams, aud we do entreat that on this occasion they will show some esprit de corps, and shew what can be done by a determined few against a handful of wrong doers. The men selected are Ned Adams, Dan Collins, Yonng Harrington,- Jack Hannan, Joe Phelps, Charley Mallett Billy Duncan, and Mike Madden. The start will be very early, and the exact hour and all particulars may be ascertained from Ben Caunt, Nat Langham, Jemmy Massey, Crown, Cranbourne- passage; Alec Keene, Three Tuns, Moore- street; Dan Dismore, King's Arms, Smart's- buildings, Holboru ; Jemmy Shaw ; Joe Phelps, Green Dragon, Villiers- street. Strand ; Harry Phelps, Ship Royal Oak, Wappting- wall, and at all sporting houses. BELL AX D WHITB, £ 10 A BIDE.— These lads are to renew their adjourned contest of Tuesday last, as soon as the above tournay is decided, unless Bell will agree to postpone the match for a month,. and increase the stakes to £ 20 a side. as the boniface. Harmonic meetings every Fridav evening On Friday evening next Mr R. Thorne will take the chair. Jesse Hatton has now returned to his own house, the Ade- laide, Ivy- lane, Hoxton, where he will be happy to meet his friends, and receive their\ tKH} girai; U^ at^)^ svdn his victory. Mountjoy, the pedestrian, takes a benefit under the patronage of the Worshipful the Mayor o. i Stockton, on Monday next, in the large room of the Town Hall, Stockton. •/ r THE CHAMPIONSHIP. TOM SAYEES AND THE TIPTON SLASHER.— Another deposit of £ 10 a side for this important affair was made on Tuesday at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, Leicester- square. The next of £ 10 a side must be forthcoming at Jemmy Massey's, Crown, Cranbourne- passage, Leicester- square, on Tuesday next, I the 21st inst, when the Slasher will be present. He is at present ; residing at Massey's, but will start for country quarters in the course of the week. He wishes us to state that £ 10 sent from i Dudley on his behalf has, by some accident, miscarried. GILLIAN AND MOTTLE.— The| fight between these Ports- mouth heroes came off on Monday last, at Havlirtg Island. After fighting for two hours and five minutes, the police put in an ap- pearance, and the men and their friends had to recross the water to another place, where, at the end of the 122d round, and the expiration of another 35 minutes, making the total time two hours and 40 minutes, the referee stepped into the ring and de- clared that, in his opinion, both meu had had enough, and ordered that hostilities should cease. At a meeting of the men and their backers, it has since been mutually agreed to draw the stakes, but the friends of the heroes at the same time deter- mined to present each man with the money, and pay them for their colours, as both had shown such indomitable courage. We have received a letter from a Mr Gill, of the Caledonian- read, who was present, who declares that Mottle met with much unfair play, and that had not Gillian resorted to the tumble down system, Mottle must have won. He also asserts that Harry Broome, who was backing Mottle, met with much ill- treatment. We have, however, heard from Harry Brcome. who declares himself satisfied, aud makes no complaint. We are, therefore, bound to suppose that his version of the affair is a cor- rect one. Mottle's money will be sent to Harry Broome, Albion, Warblington- street, Portsmouth, on Tuesday, | and Gillian's when he sends his address. Mottle takes a benefit at H. Broome's, Albion, Warblington- street, Postsmouth, on Monday week, when he and Bill Barry will wind up. FIELDHOUSE AND COLTER.— These Birmingham men met' on Monday, at an early hour, three miles on the Worcester- road from Birmingham, at catch weight, for £ 5 a side; but before they could get to scratch the authorities appeared, and stopped the game. An arrangement was made to meet on Tues- day, which they did, near Selby Oak, on the Worcester- road.; A ring was soon formed, and the meii lost no time in getting to work. Cotter had the advantage in weight, height, and length of reach ; yet, with these advantages, Fieldhouse got first blood from the nasal organ in the third round, and the knock down blow in the fifth rouBd; but, barring these two advantages, the fight was, on the whole, in favour of Colter, Fieldhouse resorting to the " tumble- down" system. There were some good exchanges during the affair, and both were considerably punished. After contending for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in the 52d and last round Fieldhouse fell without a blow. The referee at once decided in favour of Colter. DORKING AND ELLIOTT.— We do not know how this match stands. The letters we ha, ve received on the subject are incom- prehensible. The men must draw up a statement of the facts, and we will endeavour to decide between them. If Dorking did not put down his second deposit, of course he forfeits. He was bound by the articles to make his money good whether appre- hended or not. MORRIS AND BROOKES,— Another deposit of £ 5 a side for this match was made at Mr Lock's, Mulberry Tree, Air- street, Spitalfields, on Wednesday. The next of £ 5 a side is to be made at Dan Dismore's, King's Arms, Smart's- buildings, on Wed- nesday week. We have not yet received the deposit of £ 5 a side made a fortnight back, HAYES AND TRAVERS.— The sixth deposit of £ 10 a side for this match was made at MrWTatkiu's, Olive Branch, Earl- street, Lisson- grove, on Tuesday. The last deposit of £ 25 a side is to be made at Dan Dismore's, King's Arms, Smart's- buildings, on the 5th of May. NEAKY AND FLATCATCHER.— In answer to a question from Bob Brittle, we have to state that if Flatcatcher agreed to fight in the Birmingham district, he must go on with the match on that understanding, or forfeit. BALDOCK AND HARRIS.— In this match, which was to have taken place on Wednesday next, Baldock has forfeited, not thinking it worth while to fight for £ 10. He says he will make a match for £ 25 a side, if Dooney Harris will call at his house. SULLIYAN AND STAMP OP NORWICH.— These lads are matched, for £ 25 a side, at 7st 101b, and meet at Mr Wibrow's, Catherine Wheel- square, on Monday ( to- morrow) to draw articles. CHARLESWORTH AND SPEIGHT.— In this match Charles worth writes that he is willing to increase the stakes to £ 50 a side, and fight after the recognisances are expired. George Sims is surprised at Ben Bandoff's silence to his chal- lenge, who it appears prefers fighting Sims for nothing, while under the influence of Bacchus ( as was the case during the late Chatham election), than for something when compos mentis. Sims is prepared to make a match for from £ 25 to £ 50 a side, and if this is treated with silence Sims leaves it for the public to decide as to who can lay claim to the title of the better man. The fact of Sims not having seen Chatham since the election will fully contradict the statement of his having fought Bandoff on Friday week. Young Bowers having heard that Alec Andrews wishes to fight him at 8st 4lb, begs to say that he will be most happy to accommodate him, for £ 50 a side, or as much more as he can raise; or as Andrews so much wishes for a match, rather than disappoint him, he will give him a pound, and box him at 8st 5lb, for the same sum. Man and money ready on Monday evening next, at Mr Jones's, Admiral Vernon, New Nichol- street, Church- street, Shoreditch, between the hours of eight and ten, Isaac Baker having seen C. Cooper's ( alias Pagett's) challenge, says he would fight him for £ 25 ; but he has better fish to fry. He will, however, fight him for £ 100 in the same ring as Sayers and Slasher; or if Posh Price means fighting, he can be accom- modated on the same terms, or any other man in Staffordshire at 10st31b or 41b, for thesamesum. 3Ian and money ready any time next week at John Baker's, Robin Hood Inn, Westbromwich. Jack Bath of Liverpool ( late of Leicester) will fight Black Joe of Manchester, at 9st, or catch weight, for £ 25 a side, or any 9st man in Lancaster or Yorkshire, for the same amount. A match cau be made at Jack's benefit, which takes place to- mor- row ( Monday), at Mr J. Searles's, Champion's Rest, Old Cros- hall- street, Liverpool. George King ( a novice) will fight George Sims, who fought Bandoff. for £ 25 a side, at lOst 71b ; or Baker of Chatham can be accommodated, at catch weight; or Jesse Hatton on the same terms. Money ready at Harry Phelps's, Ship Royal Oak, Wapping Wall, on Monday ( to- morrow) next. Jack Hicks says it will not pay him to leave his business to fight for £ 50 a side; but he will fight either Ingman or Robinson for £ 100 a side ; first come first served. Man and money ready at Mr Short's, Leaping Bar, Old- street, St Luke's, on Monday night. Posh Price will fight Baker of West Bromwich, at catch weight, for £ 100 a side ( according to Baker's challenge). Money ready at Sam Symond's, King's Arms, Baggot- street, Birming- ham, to- morrow ( Mouday) night. Young French will make a match with T. Smith of Chelten- ham, at 8st 5lb or 8st 61b, for £ 25 a side, and will be at G. Brown's, the Bell, Red Lion Market, Whitecross- street, St Luke's, on Tuesday evening, April 21st, when Smith may ensure a match. Harry Broome's Terrier will fight Tom Smith of Cheltenham at 8st 4lb, for £ 25 a side, and give him £ 5 for choice of ground. If articles and a deposit are sent to us a match will be made. Bodger Crutchley will fight Nick Hannigan, for £ 25 a side, at 9st 6lb or 9st 7- lb. Money ready at Bob Brettle's, " White Lion, Digbeth, Birmingham. Bill Barry will fight Topper Brown at 9st 2lb, for £ 25 a side, and give him £ 5 for choice of ground. If a deposit and ar- ticles are sent to us, a match can be made. BEN CAUBT'S SPORTING LIPE.— Iu addition to the usual attractions at the Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane, during the forthcoming week, the friends and admirers of Job Cobley will have an opportunity of spending a pleasant hour with the redoubtable potboy to- morrow ( Monday) even- ing, when Job will arrive from his training quarters, pre- liminary to his fight with Crockett, on Wednesday next, for £ 200. The evening's attractions will be enhanced by the pre- sence of the renowned Tipton Slasher.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MURDER AT ISLINGTON.— At Clerkenwell, on Tuesday, Robert Robinson Tripp, was finally examined, charged with the murder of Mr James Scott, at 28, Giffard- street, Caledonian- road. The prisoner, who is about 63 years of age, and of rather wild- looking appearance, is well known to many of the inhabitants of Islington and Clerkenwell. For some years past he has been known to have had in his possession a number of pistols, swords, and dirks. About eight years ago he figured at this court under the following circumstances:— It appears that at that time he was residing with Mr Archer, an engraver, at Southampton- terrace, Caledo- nian- road. While residing there he was very violent, and using insulting language to Mrs Archer, Mr Archer went up stairs to remonstrate with him, when the prisoner made his appearance, having in one hand a sword and in the other a pistol, and threatened to murder him, By some means Mr Archer got the prisoner off his guard, grappled with him, and, assistance having arrived, he was conveyed to the station. On that occasion he was brought before Mr Tyrwhitt, and the case having been fully proved, he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in default of finding bail. After this Tripp went to live in the Caledonian- road, and there his strange and eccentric conduct excited atten- tion. In this house only one other person slept. There it seemed to be his usual custom to return home about eleven o'clock at night, and, on gaining the upper part of the house, he used to throw his dirks and swords about. One night, after this " per- formance," and when the other lodger was in bed, Tripp, it ap- peared, went down stairs, and breaking open the door, said he would do for him, and that nothing would satisfy him but his life. It was necessary to get him out of this house by violence, frnd at each place that he has resided his manner of going on has always created a great deal of alarm and apprehension. He was lately lodging at the house of Mr Scott, 28, Giffard- street, and on the morning of the 7th inst, the occurrence took place, which led to the charge of murder. Mr Scott it seems demanded his rent, and seized the prisoner's goods the previous day, and at an early hour in the morning, when the prisoner came home, another lodger, named Silence, heard an altercation between him and Scott. He went to see what it was, and found the prisoner and deceased outside the prisoner's door. The prisoner asked Silence to get a light which he did, and they all three went into the prisoner's room, where, without uttering a word, the prisoner took one of his cutlasses, and stabbed Mr Scott in the left side. He made a second blow which Silence warded off, and the latter then assisted Scott down stairs, and put him to bed. He died the following day. A constable who took the prisoner into custody said when I took him I asked him what disturbance bad taken place be- tween him and Scott, when the prisoner said " He is my landlord. I told him that I owed him some rent, that it was an unreason- able hour; but that if he would come on Saturday I would pay. I persuaded him to go out, but he refused, and then I stabbed him." I asked him what he had stabbed Scott with, and he said the " cutlass, and I hope I have given him his death wound. If it had not been for Mr Silence, I would have cut his head off." The prisoner then asked me what I was going to do with him, and I told him I wanted him to go with me to see Mr Scott, and 1 also told him that Scott was not dead, but that he was hurt very much. He then said, " I am sorry fer that; 1 am sorry I did not give him his death wound." This he repeated several times. The prisoner was committed for trial. FATAL PRACTICAL JOKING— At Guildhall, on Wednesday Thomas Wilks and Thomas James, two respectable looking men » appeared on remand, before Alderman Hale, charged with having caused the death of a lad, named Thomas Hinckston, by laying him upon his back and rolling a firkin of butter upon his stomach and chest while in that position. It appeared that the prisoners and the deceased were all in the employ of Mr Lavmg- ton, of 09, Old Bailey, asd in the beginning of the present month the deceased was taken ill with pains in the chest and intestines, attended with expectoration of blood. He was obliged to take to his bed, and in the course of the following week he died. An inquest was held upon the body, when the coroner's jury re- turned a verdict to the following effect:—" Died from acute in- flammation of the bowels and lungs; but there was no evidence to show from what cause the inflammation arose." The father of the lad, however, having been informed by his son, who, as soon as he found he was dying, made the statement that the prisoners bad placed him on the stage used for the delivery of goods and held Irm down on his back while they rolled a firkin of butter upon his stomach, gave both of them into custody on the charge of manslaughter. The medical testimony went to show that the inflammation might have been produced by external vio- lence, but that it might also arise from natural causes. Aider- man Hale said there was a doubt in the case, of which the pri- soners would have the benefit, and he trusted they would never repeat such practical jokes.— They were then discharged. Holioway's Ointment and Pills have a reputation in all parts of the world. Esther Besseil, of 6, Slaney- street, Birmingham, suffered for 10 years with an ulcerated lee. She was a patient in two hospitals, and amputation of the ieg was considered imperative, to which she refused to submit, though the ulcers were of nine years' standing. The pain was most acute and the system most debilitated. Holloway's Ointment and Pills cured her by a few weeks' application, and she is now able to resume her occupation.

SOMETHING LIKE A TAILOR'S BILL.— In the Bail Court, on Thursday, an action was tried, brought by Mr Curlewis, a tailor in Conduit- street, against the Earl of Mornington, to recover the sum of £ 2,399 4s for goods supplied to the late Hon James Wellesley, son of the defendant, who was sued as admin- istrator. Prom the statement of Mr H. Hill, it seemed that in 1837 the late Mr Wellesley, who was then an officer in the 12th Lancers, bccame a customer of the plaintiff. In the early part of 1839 the account amounted to £ 705 7s 8d. Mr Weilesley, on being applied to, requested that it might be sent to Messrs Pyne and Richards, his solicitors, who were arranging his affairs. That was done, but no money was paid. Further clothes were supplied, and in September, 1843, the account had risen to £ 1,034 6s 2d. When the plaintiff applied to Mr Wel- lesley for money he stated that his brother, Lord Wellesley, was arranging his affairs, and requested that the account might be again furnished. The amount was not paid, and when Mr Wel- lesley left England, in 1845, the value of the clothes supplied was £ 1,559 7s 8d. He remained abroad until his death, in October, 1851. In January of that year the plaintiff, in order to prevent his debt from being barred, issued a writ against Mr Wellesley, which was continued from time to time, and was running at his death. In the course of the year 1854 the plaintiff was informed that Mr Wellesley was entitled to some property in Ireland, which might be made available for the payment of his debts, and in August he filed a bill in Chancery against the defendant. In April, 1855, he issued a citation from the Eccle- siastical Court, calling on the defendant to take out adminis- tration to his son. The letters of administration were granted on the 3d of July, and in November following the present action was commenced. In the course of the year 1843 Mr Wellesley had paid two small sums of £ 59 and £ 100, and in 1844 a sum of £ 35. In March, 1845, Mr Curlewis was pressed for money by Mr Spilsbury, his linendraper. He applied to Mr Wellesley, who consented to accept a bill. On the 1st of April the bill was drawn for £ 375. It was afterwards dishonoured, but was now relied on to take the debt out of the Statute of Limitations. There had been one or two other small bills given for £ 100 each. The sum now claimed was £ 2,399 4s. According to the usual practice in his trade, the plaintiff charged interest on the account. The defence was, that the debt was barred by the Statute of Limitations.— Mr James, for the defendant, sub- mitted that the writ against Mr Wellesley having been issued on the 20th of February, 1851, would only bar the statute as re- garded the amount incurred after the 2d of February, 1845; that the bill for £ 375 would only operate as a written acknowledg- ment of a debt to that amount; nor were the two small pay- ments in 1S43, being made generally on account, where there had not been a balance ascertained, sufficient to prevent the operation of the statute.— His lordship said he would reserve the point, but would take the opinion of the jury as to the rea- sonableness of the charges and the right of the plaintiff to in- terest.— Mr H. Hill and Mr James having addressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients, his lordship summed up. The jury retired, and, after a short absence, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— £ 2,399 4s. CRIM CON.— In the case of Ling v Croker, in which a gentle- man named Ling, in the Indian army, recovered £ 1,000 damages against a Major Croker, for criminal conversation with his wife, a new trial has been moved lor, on the ground that certain letters can be proved to be in the handwriting of the plaintiff, which show that the plaintiff connived at the guilt of his wife.

No easu- alty occurred until crossing a road that intersected the course, when Bonnet, coming in contact with The Sweep, fell, and ex- tinguished lier chance for the race. Protest kept his lead till within half a mile of home, when his rider, unfortunately, took a fence the wrong side of a flag, and, in endeavouring to right himself, he fell, and was ne more seen in the race. Gameboy then took up the running at a strong pace, was never after caught, and won, hard held, by three lengths. A SWEEPSTAKES of 1 sov each, with 10 added, for horses not exceeding 14 hands high; list 71b each; 3lb allowed for every inch under; the second to save his stake; 3 subs.

A splendid set- to then ensued, which ended in favour of Bonnet, steadily ridden by Mr Chaston, by a length; the Rector a good third. WADDON YALE ( DORSET) STEEPLE CHASES. TUESDAY, APRIL 14.— By the exertion of a few spirited in- dividuals. the steeple chases, which were last year started by the liberality of the officers of the 13th Light Dragoons, then stationed at Dorch ster Barracks, have been renewed by public subscription, and there is every promise that Dorsetshire will now have an annual gathering of this description. The same ground in the Waddon Vale, about midway between Weymouth and Dorchester, was again chosen; and we may safely say that a finer bit of country for the trial of successful horsemanship could not have been chosen, while the neighbouring eminences afforded every facility for witnessing the sport that could be desired. The course took nearly a complete circle of about three miles, commenciug at Friar Waddon Farmhouse, and ter- minating in the field at the foot of Corton Hill. It included eighteen or twenty leaps, the principal of which were a stiff post and rails, after traversing the first few fields, a double leap in and out of a lane on the far side, and a stone wall at the turn for the straight line of country, making for the winning post. The weather was exceedingly fine, and a large number of spectators were drawn to the spot, including a goodly array of the leading gentry and yeomanry of the neighbourhood, nor did the presence of a fair attendance of ladies tend to lessen the enchantment of the scene which was presented on the slope of Corton Hill. There were four items on the card, but one of these, the Open Plate of 40 sovs, was not run for, in consequence of the required number of horses not coming to the post, owing to an accident which had previously happened to Mr Gundry's Telegraph; but this was more than compensated by the addi- tion of a stake for beaten horses, which was the most exciting event of the day. A remarkable feature in the day's perform- ances is the fact that no less than three consecutive races were won by Mr Thacker, of the 15th Hussars, who displayed most excellent horsemanship. The general arrangements were ad- mirably carried out under the superintendence of a committee, consisting of Mr G. A. Ingram, Mr E. Pope, Mr G. Gale, Mr J. Thresher, Mr G. Hill, and Mr H. Hawkins; and the thanks of the public are specially due to Messrs Hawkins, W. Dunning, and Thresher, for their kindness in allowing the events to come off on their farms. The WADDON VALE PLATE of 50 sovs, for horses regularly hunted with any established pack of hounds in the county of Dorset; 12st each; thorough breds and winners of any steeple chase 71b extra; the second to save his stake; about three miles. Mr Thacker's ( 15th Hussars) Sweep Owner 1 Mr Henning's General Owner 2 Mr Raxworthy's Tollbar ( 71b extra) Mr Flower 0 Mr E. Woolmington's Chief Baron Mr Cooper 0 Mr Lambert's Jessie Owner 0 Tollbar made the running, followed closely by the others. The first lot of fences were taken in gallant style, including the stiff posts and rails near the plantation. Up to the double fence bounding the lane on the opposite side of the course, Mr Flower had been pushing ahead, but here he met with a mis- hap and was dismounted. He, however, immediately attempted to regain the pigskin, but had been so severely shaken by the fall that he fell over on the other side. This circumstance gave the first and second places to Sweep and General, between whom it was for some time a toss up which would carry off the stakes, both going splendidly along the far side. The stone wall, which since last year has been a little improved by the addition of a ditch on the take- off side, was admirably cleared, and an exciting race home ensued between the two, which Sweep won cleverly. We are happy to state that Mr Flower did not sustain any serious injury from his fall. The DORCHESTER BOROUGH PLATE, a Silver Tea Service, value 30 guineas; half bred horses 12st 71b, thorough bred 13st; winners of a steeple chase 71b extra ; three miles. Mr Thacker's ( 15tli Hussars) Sweep Owner 1 Mr Raxworthy's Tollbar ( 71b extra) Mr Hawkins 2 MrYearsley's Zuleika Mr Strange S Mr Henning's General Owner 4 MrChilcott's Maria Owner 0 Sweep and General went away with a strong lead. All besides Maria cleared the first fence in gallant style. Sweep, General, Zuleika, and Tollbar cleared the post and rails gallantly in the order named, and maintained these positions till they had arrived at the double fence crossing the lane. Sweep showed the road over, with General close in his wake. After getting into the field the latter put his foot in a kind of drain or water- course, and fell. Before Mr Henning could regain his seat Zuleika came up and took second place, and an exciting race ensued, the couple being waited upon by Tollbar, with the General in fourth position, although his fall had considerably weakened his chances of success. Sweep and Zuleika went on at a sweeping pace, and the stone wall was cleared by both almost together. Mr Thacker now put on a little steam, and the race was his own. At the last fence Zuleika fell, and the second place was gained by Tollbar, who was followed in by Zuleika, the General coming in fourth. On Mr Thacker coming to the scales Mr Raxworthy made an objection that he should have carried 71b extra for winning the first race. On the other hand, it was stated that, according to the laws of the Turf, the 71b extra had only reference to horses winning before their nomination. The stewards ultimately agreed to refer the ques- tiou for the decision of Mr Weatherby, one of the secretaries of the Jockey Club.

Woolmington's Chief Baron Mr Cooper Patchwork made the running, with the others in close at- tendance. At the fourth or fifth fence Chief Baron threw his rider, and bolted over the adjoining fields. Patchwork and Fanny Kaye took their fences in an admirable manner, some distance in front of the others. The wall was splendidly cleared, Fanny Kaye then having a slight advantage; she, however, re- fused at one of the subsequent fences, and thus lost her chance, Patchwork coming in an easy winner. The BEATEN HORSES' PLATE of 20 sovs, for horses that had no' previously won at these steeple chases; 12st each. Mr Lywood's The Major Mr Harvey 1 Mr Wyndham Bryer's, jun, Fanny Kaye Owner 2 Mr E. Woolmington's Chief Baron Mr Cooper 0 Mr Chilcott's Maria Owner 0 The four went splendidly together for some distance after starting, Chief Baron making the running. At the post and rails he dismounted his rider, keeping on before the others with- out a jock, and leaping the next fence, after which he turned out of the course. The other three still kept tolerably well together; but ou coming to the wall Maria, who had up to this been going splendidly, fell, and left the race to The Major and Fanny Kaye. The most exciting race of the day now took place, both taking the leaps abreast. Up to the last fence Fanny Kaye had a slight lead, though both took it at nearly the same mo- ment. The whipcord was here pretty freely applied, both horses being side by side, but in the last stride or two Mr Harvey made a desperate effort, and succeeded in landing The Major a winner by about a head; though, until the judge gave his decision, it was a disputed question among the spectators as to which of the two had won. avt- ccuttpv cTvrDT'C rtricrc IRn excellent race, the favourites Dunmurry and the Blind AYLLbiiUlix blMvPLfc LilA& fcS. | Harper suffering defeat at the hands of Escape, an animal pur- Judge : Mr Russell.

NUNEATON STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: Lieut- Col Madocks, Capt Goad, and W. E. Okeley, Esq. Judge: Mr Bull. Clerk of the Course: Mr W. Lucas. THURSDAY, APRIL 16 — The success which attended thislittle meeting, last year, had the effect of inducing the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, who have hitherto been exceeding shy and lukewarm in its support, to come out on this occasion, and enable the management to furnish an excellent bill of fare, which might be considerably increased by the introduction of an Open Handicap, as we suggested upon a former occasion, thu* removing the exclusive character of the sport, and create speculation. As it now stands, the interest of the meeting is entirely local. The course was formed, as last year, in some meadows close to the town, and having then been fully described it does not require repetition. Fortunately the weather, which of late has been so uncertain, was, on Thursday, extremely fine, and. with the exception of one passing shower, all that could be desired. The attendance on the course and in the Stand was immense, the cheap excursion trains from Leicester, Leaming- ton, & c, assisting materially to swell the numbers. The card contained four items, commencing with The Farmers' Steeple Chase, which was won in a very hollow style by Whaley gslding; The Hunt Steeple Chase, the principal event on the card, brought out fourteen runners, and which, after a series of mishaps, by which the field was considerably reduced towards the end of the race, was won cleverly by Deceiver, well ridden by Mr Dart, A Selling Steeple Chase followed, for which four sported the silk, and was won by Starlight, who failed to secure a purchaser at fifty sovs. The Scramble finished the day's sport, which ap- peared to afford an abundauce of amusement to the million. The following is a detail of the running:— The FARMERS' STEEPLE CHASE SWBBPSTAKES of 3 sovs each' with 20 added ; four year olds 12st, five 12st 71b, six and aged 13st lib; winners of any steeple chase once 71b, twice 10lb extra ; the winner to pay 3 sovs towards expenses, and the se- cond to save his stake ; about three miles ; 6 subs.

Hewitt 3 Mr Chadwick's b g The Archduke, aged, lSst 41b. Mr Edwards 0 Betting : Even on The Arcbduke, aud 2 to 1 agst Whaley. An objection was made by Mr Chadwick to the Whaley gelding on account of age, which the Stewards decided in his favour after the race. The Archdeacon started with the lead, followed by the Whaley gelding, Speculation, aud Veterinary in the order we have given them to the first fence, which Archduke cleared in advance, but was immediately after passed by Speculation, who went on with a long lead, Archduke lying second, Veteri- nary third, and Whaley next. In this way they ran to the water jump, which they all cleared without a mistake, aud on re- entering the starting field the four were abreast. The Whaley gelding, on passing the Stand, however, was slightly in advance, The Archduke with Speculation being second and third, Veteri- nary bringing up the rear. At the second fence, after leaving the course the « econd time, The Archduke blundered and came down on his knees aud nose, and unhorsed his rider, who, having had enough, returned homewards, leaving the race to the three. Whaley having the lead increased it as he proceeded, and taking liis fences without a mistake, won very easily by two lengths. Veterinary caught Speculation half- way up the straight ruu in, and obtained second place by three lengths. The HUNT STEEPLE CHASE SWEEPSTAKES of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, the winner to pay 5 sovs towards expenses, the second to save his stake ; four yearolds list, fire list 71b, six and aged 12st 41h ; horses having won 100 sovs at one time 14lb extra ; professionals 71b extra, and gentlemen never having ridden a winner allowed 4lb; three to start or the public money will not be given; 16 subs.

On settling down in their places the running was taken up by Deceiver, with Decamp and Aldershott at his quarters, Kibworth Lass fourth, Boadicea fifth, Weston next, and the others being close up. At the cut fence, in the bottom, Decamp rushed to the front and jumped it in advance of Uncle Ned, who was followed by Deceiver, Kibworth Lass aud Katy, the whole getting safely over, with the exception of Boadicea, who blundered and nearly fell. In this order they continued over the next two fences, where the mare fell and was out of the race. On entering the starting field, and passing the Stand Deceiver again bore his colours in advance, fol- lowed by Squire, Kibworth Lass, Decamp, and Crauebrook mare ; the others in a cluster. At the fence after turning the flag going out, Aldershott and Uncle Ned fell and got away. No other material alteration occurred until passing the Stand the second time, when Squire had the lead, Kibworth Lass was second, Cranebrook third, Deceiver fourth, Exmoor fifth, aud Weston next, the others following in Indian file at long intervals. Proceeding along the meadows towards the water jump, Kibworth Lass and Cranebreok joined the Squire, ana they ran abreast to the brook, which the latter cleared without a mistake, Ribworth Lass taking it next, closely followed by Deceiver and Starlight. Weston, who headed the rear division, less fortunate, fell on landing, Exmoor, Pioneer, Decamp, and Cranebrook, who were close in his wake, being unable to avoid a collision, also fell, and we are sorry to say Mr Lotan was badly hurt by one of the horses jumping on him. These mishaps gave a long lead to Deceiver, followed by Squire, Starlight, Kibworth Lass, Exmoor, and Weston, the two latter, having remounted, being a long way in the rear. Descending the meadows Starlight joined the front, aud in jumping the fence in the corner obtained a slight lead, which he held to the fence into the plough, at which he fell, and was immediately passed by Deceiver, Squire, Kibworth Lass, and Exmoor, to whom the race was confined. At the following fence Kibworth Lass blundered, and while in the act of recovering herself the Squire cannoned and knocked her out of the race. This left Deceiver in possession of the lead, which he held to the end, and won easily by three lengths, Starlight a bad third, Exmoor fourth, Westou fifth, and Squire next; nothing else passed the post.

No particular change occurred until passing Black Hill, when Georgina was in front a short dis tance, but Ingomar soou resumed the lead, Grampian going on second, Fanny Wynne third. In taking the turn for home Georgiua fell at the last fence, and Fanny Wiune then came up, but never could reach Ingomar, who won very easily by three lengths.

Hutchinson, Bart, Oapt Bernard, Treasurer : Mr J. Byrne. Clerk of the Course : Mr W. Robinson. Judge : Mr R. J. Hunter. Starter: Mr J. H. Coatsworth. MONDAY, APRIL 13.— The inclemency of the weather on the 25th March necessitated the adjournment of this meeting to Monday last, but, like most postponements, it was almost from bad to worse as regarded the elements, aud decidedly so with respect to the attendance, the County Dublin election occasion- ing the absence of many of the principal supporters of the meet- ing. The line of country selected was in the vicinity of Dunboyne, but was quite different from that run over in the same neighbourhood on former occasions. The ground, in con- sequence of the previous incessant rains, was deep and holding, Stewards' Plate, and the Disowned alone putting in an appear- ance, the race fell to the ground. For the Selling Stakes the entry was nil, and a Sweepstakes being substituted, two horses started for it, one of which came in alone; and thus terminated the meeting. The DUBLIN CITIZENS' GOLD CHALLENGE CUP of 100 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 100 added by the licensed vintners of Dublin ; the second to receive 10 sovs, and the third to save his stake ; the winner to pay 10 sovs towards expenses; the cup to become the property of a winner three times in succession ; the winner to give one dozen of cham- pagne to the stewards and committee ; three miles ; 9 subs.

The Sweeper got away with a lead of several lengths, followed next by Escape and Dunmurry, General Evans and Trouncer fourth aud fifth, and Blind Harper bringing up the rear. They ran thus without change or accident for about a mile and a half, when Trouncer fell at the brook and broke his back. Soon after, Blind Harper moved to the front, taking a considerable lead, which he held till within half a mile of home, when, missing his company, he stopped suddenly in the middle of a field, and, wheeling round, was thrown to the rear. Escape and Dunmurry then ran locked together to the last fence, which the former cleared somewhat in advance, aud at last won cleverly by a length, Dunmurry beating the Harper for the second money by nearly two ; Sweeper and General Evans beaten off a long way.

Mainwaring's assertion that the " warns off" in the Cheshire country were procured by the subscribers worthy of contradiction, had I not found that, emboldened by our silence, he continues to repeat the misstatement. It would fully appear, by the correspondence of the land- owners themselves, who are influenced solely by the conduct of Mr A. Main waring, and who have expressed their determination not to withdraw their notices during the continuance of his management, that all the subscribers ( with the exception of two out of thirty- four, who have themselves warned off, but who are not, either of them, hunting men), so far from being parties to the prohibition, have from the first exerted all their influence to prevent the course taken by the landowners. This is a fact notorious to the whole county, and of which it is exceedingly difficult to believe Mr A. Mainwaring can be ignorant. As regards the assertion that the " warns off" are confined to a small portion of the country, I will merely state, what is equally well known, that they comprise the estates of Lord Cholmondeley, Lord Westminster, Lord Combermere, Lord Crewe, Lord Delamere, Sir Chas. Shakerley, John Tollemache, Esq, France France, Esq, and Mrs Tomkinson, aud contain, at the lowest computation, from 00,000 to 70,000 acres, including he very cream of our country and the very choicest of our covers.— Yours, & c, R. E. EGERTON WARBURTON. Arley Hall, Northwich, Cheshire, April 14,1857. The following statement has been addressed to the subscribers to the Cheshire Hounds by the Stewards of the " MASTERS OF FOXHOUNDS' COMMITTEE :"— " The conduct of MrMainwaringrenderingit impossible for the Stewards of the Masters' of Foxhounds' Committee to continue auy correspondence with him, they desire to submit the following statement to the subscribers to the Cheshire Hounds, in order that they may stand excused before them for having informed them that Mr Mainwaring was bound to submit to their decision, when they agreed to arbitrate, and required an assurance of un- conditional submission from the subscribers. " At the annual foxhunting dinner, at Boodle's, last year, it was proposed to establish a tribunal for the settlement of fox- hunting disputes, similar to the Jockey Club, for those in racing matters. The suggestion was warmly supported, and the con- sent of the club obtained to the formation of a permanent com- mittee, composed of such members as were or had been masters of foxhounds, with power to make rules, & c. " The rules having been formally adopted, were forwarded to all members of the club qualified to become members of the committee, with a request that those who wished to become such should notify the same to the secretary. Mr Mainwaring wrote ou the 29th July, desiring his name to be enrolled, and thus in the most decided manner testified his approval of the tribunal, and of the rule which requires that ' Every member of the committee shall be bound to refer any case he may have in dispute to the decision of the committee, if the person with whom he has dispute shall desire such reference, and shall sub- mit to the decision of the committee under pain of expulsion.' " Wken the Cheshire subscribers asked the stewards whether they would undertake to arbitrate on the question in dispute between them and Mr Mainwaring, they were informed that the stewards declined to enter into the causes of difference, as being in no way connected with foxhunting, but that if a purely fox- hunting point could be raised as to the coutiuuance of the agreement, they would accept the reference. The point was raised, they accepted the reference, and declared Mr Mainwaring bound to agree to the same. " Mr Mainwaring did not refuse submission, but stated himself willing to leave the question, as to the continuance of the agree- ment, to the decision of the stewards, on a joint statement to be prepared by the solicitors of both parties, provided the sub- scribers and landowners who had warned him off were equally bound, and provided that, if the decision was against him, in- demnity should be given. The stewards informed him that the rules of the committee did not permit him to lay down the terms ou which the inquiry was to be conducted, but required uncon- ditional submission from him to their decision, that they had considered his suggestions, aud were not disposed to require a joint statement to be drawn up by solicitors, believing that lawyers might raise difficulties in preparing the same, which the informal character of the agreement might render insurmount- able, or at all events cause great delay ; that they would direct every statement forwarded to them by the subscribers to be communicated to him ; and requested him to send any remarks, statement, and argument, legal or other, which he might desire to make to them. They regretted that they could not require the landowners to submit to their decision, as they must refuse to accept any reference as to the dispute between them and him, as it arose on a matter not only altogether unconnected with and was moreover badly marked off, the view from the Stand foxhunting, but of a character on which it appeared to them it being very indifferent. It embraced acircuitof a mileand a ; would be improper for them to undertake to arbitrate. As to , , " - *• - •• • - - of indemnity, they assured him that ' it would be necessary. He declined to do so, and appeared to be fighting for delay. The stewards, therefore, gave him distinct notice that on a certain day they should proceed to determine the case, whether he sent auy answer or not, aud they acted accordingly. The 8th of January having been fixed, he wrote to them on the 3d of January, that not having paid his subscrip- tion, he was not, according to the rules, a member of the com- mittee, and was not bound by their decision. The stewards, de- siring to save him from the consequences of taking such a step, wrote privately to him, pointing out that as a' gentieman he could not avail himself of the plea he had set up, inasmuch as his having written to the secretary desiring his name to be put on the committee was equivalent to payment, and assuring him that both his letter and their reply should be kept strictly pri- vate if he submitted, but that otherwise it would be of course their painful duty to publish both. He replied on the 11th January, that' since they had thus made him aware of the posi- tion in which he had placed himself by writing to the secretary ( which he said he had entirely forgstten), he must, of course, ac- quiesce in considering h bnselfone of the committee. He then asked for time to prepare a counter- statement. The stewards refused to re- open the case, as establishing an objectionable precedent, and moreover not likely to be of service to him, as their decision was founded on the fact of the warning off, which cannot be denied, aud the granting the delay asked for must necessarily lead to the publication of the whole correspondence relating to his denial of membership, which for his sake they were most anxious to avoid.' They further told him that it was of course open to him to publish any statement he might think fit, cau- tioning him that any notice of his application to have the case re- opened would render the publication of that correspondence in- dispensable. On the 22d January Mr Mainwaring wrote, ' I certainly consider and would not question for a moment the fact of ray writing to be placed on the committee equivalent in every way to the payment of entrance and subscription, aud hope you will exonerate me from attempting to withdraw from your juris- diction upon so paltry a quibble. The writing of the letter had entirely escaped my recollection. It was written at a time when my mind was much occupied about matters of great interest to me, and the non- recollection of writing it may be easily though painfully accounted for. I thought you were pressing ou me the observance of the rules rather according to their technical meaning than according to what I consider their spirit and intent, and acting under that impression, and also under the impression that I had never signified my intention of being a member, I considered myself justified in withdrawing my case if possible from before you, as I believed you could not go into it as a purely foxhunting question. I beg to state that I yield to your decision, and will hand over the hounds on receiving from the subscribers such an amount as will indemnify me from all losses sustained by me in the management of the hounds." The stewards, in reply, ' felt it necessary, in accepting his sub- mission, to notice the manner in which he has expressed the condition attached to it, as it might lead to further misconcep- tion. The indemnity Mr Mainwarina; is to receive from the subscribers is for any loss he may sustain in giving up the hounds at the present time, and not for all losses during the whole time he has been in the management, including last season as well as the present, which the words he has used might be construed to mean.' On the 29th January he wrote in reply, ' I regret that any misunderstanding should arise as to the nature of the in- demnity I am to receive. What I meant was that I should receive payment for such losses incurred by me during the past time as I could redeem during the residue of my term, had it not been abruptly severed by the subscribers. You will bear in mind that my management was based on the principle of con- tinuing for three years. During the first I might be, and was, a loser ; during the second I am not in a better position ; but I have every reason to suppose that in consequence of the fall in price of all sorts of produce during the third, I might redeem my losses. I consequently contend that I am clearly entitled, under the circumstances, to take into account as a loss the de- privation of the only opportunity I had of repaying myself.' The stewards replied 011 the 2d February that they were in- formed ' that the subscribers have accepted his resignation of the management from the 1st of April, and had requested him to let them know the amount he claims for indemnity ou such resignation. They hope that the arrangement may be carried out without any necessity arising for their further interference. In the meantime they consider that it will be fairer to both par- ties that they should reserve their opinion on any claim which Mr Mainwaring may propose to put in until they have had an opportunity of considering the statements ou which it is founded.' " It will be seen from this correspondence that Mr Mainwaring particularly requested that the question of indemnity should be included by the stewards in their decision, if against the con- tinuance of the agreement— that having acknowledged himself bound to submit to that decision, under which indemnity was awarded to him, he did submit, and at the same time en- deavoured to affix to it liis own interpretation of the indemnity which in his letter to the secretary of the hunt, of the 23d Jan, he stated'was secured to him by the stewards in their deci- sion,'— that the stewards guarded themselves immediately against being supposed to accept his interpretation of their award, reserving their opinion till they should hear his state- ment, and expressing a hope that the amount might be arranged without their further interference. No objection was taken by Mr Mainwaring at that time to their arbitrating on this point, if he and the subscribers should differ upon it, nor did he ever express any intention of rejecting such arbitration until he wrote a letter to them, dated 14th March, which was not posted till the 18th, and was published by him in Bell's Life of the 22d March, in which he rested his case for refusing to submit the amount of his claim for indemnity, to their arbitration, on matters connected with the original decision to which he had already submitted. Their reply to that letter is before the public. Mr Mainwaring has declined to follow the advice ten- dered to him by the stewards in the same spirit of kindness and forbearauce of which he had the good sense to avail himself on the former occasion, and has now compelled them to publish in their own justification that which, for his sake, it was their anxious desire should remain unknown to any but themselves. " The stewards confidently trust that the subscribers, when made acquainted with the facts contained in the above state- ment, will acquit them of any unfairness or undue want of caution in considering Mr Mainwaring bound by his member- ship, when they required from them a promise of unconditional submission to their decision, and will admit that it would have been unbecoming in them as gentlemen to have supposed it pos- sible that any one could have acted as ho has, in refusing to submit the question of the indemnity, to which he is entitled under their award, to their arbitration, and more especially after he had himself, in writing to them,- distinctly acknowledged himself to be a member of the committee, and hoped that they would exonorate him from attempting to withdraw from their jurisdiction on a paltry quibble. " BEAUFORT, Chairman, B. R. GRAHAM, SOUTHAMPTON, HENRY GREENE, REDESDALE, " Boodle's, April 0th, 1857." THE HEREFORDSHIRE HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : Ere the season closes, and before the winds of Spring and the bright and cheering sun have shed their influ- ence on our fields and covers, I may be excused if I send to you one letter descriptive of as fine a hunting run with Mr Marsh, as 1 have ever seen in Herefordshire. This is one of many good ones, for we have had good sport this season— with heaps of foxes'heads. On Tuesday, the31st of March, the meet of the Herefordshire Hounds was at Wormelow Tump. The Mynde Covers are first drawn, and a brace of foxes quickly found, but the scent was bad in cover, and nothing worth recording was done with either fox. Bowers Wood and Saddlebow were drawn, then some covers in Orcop Bottom. Newton Wood comes next, with cover strong enough to hold a tiger, and here we find as game a fox as ever faced the open. He breaks from the cover just midway between the quarry and the road, and with the hounds right well upon his back he flings through the Old Hall Cover, into the opeu country below, and across the Flat they race him to the brook, with his head straight for the Mynde, the strong earth in Cocks brook , being evidently now his point. Having nearly reached the Theven Wherven Farm, he is headed by a dog and man, and is obliged to shift his point. He now turns round and makes for Skidmores Hill, through which he skirts in the directiou of Lyston, but being again headed, and hard pressed, he dare not linger long; the open again he tries, aud across that breast of sandy soil on Mr Elliott's and the Moneton Farm, turning a little to the right, and going well, he almost reaches Prior's Wood ; now for Redicarn Mill, and uo these meadows ( believe me) he had a lovely gallop. The Kestrey Wood is next his point, the corner of which he skirts, but the hounds will tell a tale on him unless he crushes on, for there is mischief in the wind, and no end of courage in the hounds, for they know they are getting nearer; so on we go together across the open country as far as Mr Whittaker's new house, and here we have a trifling check, but they hit him off again into North- gate Wood, and then make for the open country, and with the scent very much improving, he skirts Werndee Wood, and reaches a" cover near Broad Oak. He now sinks a wooded valley, leaving Broad Oak to the left, and crossing the boundary line of the Monmouthshire Hunt, and after again trying his fading fortune in the open, he reaches the Dar- ron Wood in a state of great distress, and after a stun- ning, crashing, brilliant cry of some ten minutes or so, a jolly " who- whoop!" 011 the banks of the Monnow tells us that the run is over, that Charley is dead, aud that the hounds are to be rewarded with his blood, thus finishing a very brilliant hunting run of one hour and thirty- five minutes. Some men rode well and fairly, others rode ill and very shy, whilst others skirted like mad. But these things are nothing new in Herefordshire. Everyman rides as he pleases, regardless of hounds, scent, and expense. So gentlemen and liard- riding skirters, may I offer you, with the warmest and tenderest feelings of affection, to " Say nothing of pity and compasssion, a few words of wholesome advice P When hounds are at fault, we are too apt ourselves to prolong it. We should always stop our horses some distance behind the hounds ; and if it is possible to remain silent, this is the time to be so. We should be ever careful not to ride before the hounds, or over the scent; uor should we ever meet a liound in the face, unless with the design of stopping him. Should we at any time be before the hounds, we ought to turn our horses' heads the way they are going, get out of their track, and let them pass by.— Yours, & c, April 13,1857. DAYLIGHT. there is some doubt whether Mr Morrell will continue the O. B. H. after this season, I think it well to tell you that it will be both against my wishes and consent to see him draw my coverts ^ after this present year, having a personal objection* to that ' » ' v gentleman. I need not repeat to you our different opinions, ^ but I wish you particularly to understand that I have every good desire to promote the sport and amusement of my neigh- bours, and the prosperity of the O. B. H. in particular ( under auy other auspices), and it is, believe me, with great regret that I feel it my duty thus to give you a notification of my wishes.— Believe me yours sincerely, „ ,.

" DEAR ATKINS : It has been intimated to me that my prohi- bition to Mr Morrell may interfere with the sports of some of my neighbours, I am induced, therefore, to withdraw the same from the hounds, and trust you will find the animal when you think proper to look for him.— I am yours faithfully, " THOS.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. Liverpool: A member of Liverpool Club, commenting on Harrwitz's Chess Study, recently given in Bell, suggests that if Black play ( instead of given move) Knight from Bishop's second to King's third, White cannot win. We have not time for analysis; particularly the author being so renowned a player. An amateur, speaking of same Chess Study, considers White has a shorter road to victory than that given by Harrwitz, and on move 13 would take Rook with Rook. Willberg. 1. K P 2 2. Q Kt P 1 3.

The fluctuation in the English Stock Market during the past week has not been very important, and yet an exceedingly heavy tone has been produced by the disturbed condition of monetary affairs. Until Thursday the quotations exhibited a drooping tendency, but when it was discovered that no further discount restrictions were contemplated, aud that the Bank had shown a willingness to extend their loan operations to fourteen days, the market became firmer. Transactions have not been very extensive, but some large speculative operations have been effected. Consols yesterday eveuing closed at 93 to 93i for money, and 93£ | for account. Exchequer Bills remain depressed, and in other English securities there has been no movement of importance. The latest prices on Friday afternoon of the English Funds were— Bank Stock, 212} 15 Reduced Annuities, 91i { Consols, 93 i New Three per Cents, 91J 2 Exchequer Bills ( March) 6 to 4 dis, ( June) 10 dis. Foreign Stocks have remained" Long Annuities, 2 7- 16 India Bonds ( under £ 1,000) 58 dis India Stock 221 2 Consols for Account, 93| f rather quiet, and the operations havebeeu chiefly of a formal character, owing to the settlement of the account. In Turkish a fair business has been done, and prices have been tolerably well maintained. In Spanish, Dutch, and other European securities, there has been little to attract attention. Mexican have ruled firm. South American invest- ments have been generally maintained at their previous values. The latest prices of the Foreign Funds on Friday after* noon were: Sardinian, 90 J Spanish Three per Cents, 41 Ditto Deferred, 24| 5 Ditto Passive, 54 6 Turkish Six per Cents, 94| | Ditto Four per Cents, 100i Venezuela, 37J Dutch Two- and- a- Half per Cents, 64f Ditto Four per Cents 96£ Belgian, 99 Braziliau 99| 1001 Buenos Avres, 85 7 Chilian, 1013 Equador, 14£ 15* Grenada, 22* 23* Mexican 23i f Peruvian Account, 76* Portuguese Three per Cents, 45 Russian Four- aua- a- Half per Cents, 95* 6 The business transacted in the Railway Share Market during the past week has been extensive, but prices were unfavourably influenced by the flatness of Consols, and the high rates charged for carrying over to the next account, viz, 8 to 14 per cent. On the arrangements usually entered into for the settlement being completed, an advance from * to 1* per cent took place on most of the principal undertakings. Chester and Holy, head, Eastern Counties, Brighton, North Eastern. York, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton each improved 10s. Great Northern, North Western, Manchester, Shef- field, and Lincoln, North British, South Wales, Bristol and Exeter, Great Western, North Eastern ( Berwick) and South Eastern 15s to £ 1, Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, aud Midland £ 1 5s to £ 110s, and South Western £ 2. The French and Canadian lines were buoyant. Great Western of Canada improved 10s, and Grand Trunk of Canada about £ 3, but they subsequently ruled rather lower. Paris and Lyons and Northern of France each advanced about 15s to £ 1. The East Indian and Belgian lines were in moderate request at steady rates. British, Foreign, and Colonial Mining Shares have been inac- tive, and prices have shown but little variation.

THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON WITH MR GARTH. MR EDITOR : And shall it go unhonoured and unsung ? Not so long as my poor pen can rescue it from oblivion, and the great Bell exists to ring its praises ! The meet was at Farnborough Station, and after trotting through Mr Morant's park, and draw- ing a few plantations blank, a straight- necked fox turned up at the back of Mr Whieldon's plantations, much to the delight of his son, that thorough good foxlmnter, Mr Arthur Whieldon. Our fox had been feeding on something to his fancy, for he was a flying gentleman, something of the Daedalus— or diddle us! — description. We were told the time without looking at our watches, for the meridian gun at Aldershott Camp sounded one minute before the find, and without hanging an instant we crossed the road by Mitchet Pond, and over the wild Romping Downs, full of deep ruts and holes, as hard as we could lick, to Henly Park Plantation, over the pales into the park in front of the house, with his nose for the river and Wanboro' Woods, but suddenly changing his mind he turned to the left, the hounds hilling it splendidly into the osiers at the bottom of the park, across the Guildford- road, through a series of deep, boggy mea- dows, up to the horses' hocks and over, and which men in calmer moments would wonder how they were to be got through, but now— " You may talk about danger! Can mortals invent Aught to set men agoing like hounds with a scent ?"— through these meadows without a moment's check to Merris Wood ; tried to make his point, but, being headed, ran to the bottom of the cover and gallantly faced the open at the other corner, across the ground to Bridly Farm ; and now the luxury of a change of soil began— a beautiful succession of fine, open, dry fields, with reasonable fences— over Bridly, through Crastock and Hatchgate Farms, crossing the brook and branch of S. W. Rail, then a sudden turn brought him to Mr Mason's farm, over which he went like a bird to the open common, at the corner of which stands the house of the newly elected member for Guildford, poor Reynard looking round as he passed it, as much as to say, " What do you think about it?" He found all sorts of protection abandoned. Despairing, he climbed the hill close to Wooplesdon Church, but no mercy even here ; on, still on, over the fields below the church to the open common, where the gallant pack pulled poor Charlie down at the road, close to the railway, after one hour and twenty minutes without a check, aud much of it at a racing pace, over sixteen miles of very severe country. The worthy and popular master was, as he always is, up at the end, and he was warmly congratulated and thanked. His hounds have had a brilliant season, but it is over. All, all are departed ; all gone— the old familiar faces. Let us hope to meet again ! such, at least, is the earnest prayer of— Yours, & c, THE GBMMAN IN BLACK. THE OLD BERKSHIRE HOUNDS- MR MORRELL AND MR GOODLAKE. MR EDITOR : After my letter to you of April 1st, it was not my intention to trouble you acain iu reference to the above matter, but, in consequence of Mr Goodlake's remarks to you in your last week's paper, where nay name is again brought for- ward, I think, in fairness, I may venture to ask you to insert the followiug copy of Mr Goodlake's letter to me officially, pro- hibiting the use of his coverts to the hounds, as well as of that wherein he withdraws the prohibition.— Yours, & c, E. MARTIN ATKINS. Kingston Lisle, Wantage, April 15, 1857. COPT OP MR GOODIAKE S LETTER. DEAR ATKINS : It is with extreme regret I feel myself calkd LITERATURE. THE METAPHYSICIANS ; being a MEMOIR of FRANZ CARVEL, brushmaker, written by HIMSELF; aud of HAROLD FREMD- LING, Esquire, written and re- published by FRANCIS DRAKE, Esq. 1 vol. [ Longman and Co.]— The title of a book not un- frequently maltes or mars its fortune. We have seen title- pages so attractive and promising that people bought them not on ex- pectancy, but on more than prima facie conviction of their good, ness. Others we have seen so much the reverse, that it was not until criticism revealed their contents that buyers could be found. What the shepherd in Virgil said of the colour of flowers, fruit, and the humau skin— nimium ne crede colori— trust not too much to complexion— may be said of title- pages. They are as deceptive as the Sabbath ornaments of a Dudley- street Jew. The title- page of the book before us may have charms for the incarnate philosopher, but certainly it has none for the un- initiated, for the general reader and half- way- house thinker. Yet all that follows a repulsive title is as attractive as an early Waver- ley novel. Franz Carvel tells you he is a brushmaker in Queen Ann- street, Marylebone, and the descendant of a follower from Holland of William III. He was patronised by the court, kept shop in the Strand, and had his villa in the suburbs, in the green fields, as all Marylebone was, in 16S8. Franz was born in Queen Ann- street, in 1821, and married Mary, daughter of John Smith, sen, ironmonger, of Marylebone, on the 1st of January, 1856. His sister married John Smith, jun, aud, no doubt, you may hear of them at the court house, Marylebone- lane, as an old friend of his, " by permission of the vestry of this parish, used to amuse himself by indoctrinating the charity children in the elements of Kant's philosophy," as an antidote to the croco- dile heresy promulgated with pen and pencil by Professor La- crymae Christi Wilson. Mr Smith, jun, is a practical philosopher, an excellent guardian of his own funds, and his brother- in- law, Franz Carvel, having been educated in Germany, is a trans- cendent, an unlimited Kantite. In the discussions given in this memoir of these great Marylebone metaphysicians, you may read the doctrines of each, and you may hear them occasionally propounded in that learned, eloquent, and illustrious assembly, justly styled " The Representative Council" by its intelligent constituents, but by vulgar malcontents— the crocodile party— " the puisne Parliament" of St Marylebone. To come more closely to philosopher Carvel, his principles are chiefly founded in the distich of an old poet:— " Nothing is then to come, and nothing past, But an eternal NOW doth ever last." He calls his system NOWMENON, which meaneth that past, pre- sent, and future are one, a trinitarian distinction without a difference. So he lives in the past and future, and they are just as much a " now" to him as the present. He proves this by de- scribing his adventures in limited London a century ago, and his adventures in unlimited London a century hence. We can trust iu the truth of his 18th century adventures, but can merely surmise his 20th century ones as within the scope of optimist probability. In the year 1957 London will extend beyond Har- row on the one side, beyond Croydon on the other. Its western suburbs will include Hounslow, and its eastern swallow up Ware. It is to be divided into four " halls" or separate open districts, one for the court and noblesse; the other for the gentry, great merchants, bankers, & c; the third for the shopocracy ; and the fourth for the working classes. Each hall will be sufficient for itself and its two millions of inhabitants. Each will have appropriate rights and privileges— no inter- hall interference— mutual visitings for pleasure, profit, instruction, but 110 fixed emigration from one to the other. Civilization, useful and ornamental, will be on the grandest and widest scale, and education will be so adjusted that a Kantian Utopia, every thing, man, woman, and child in the right place, not only in Middlesex, but in every city, town, borough, village, and county in England, Scotland, and Wales. More wonderful still, Ireland will be the model region of civil concord and human harmony. We all have some knowledge of the present, but those who wish to be acquainted with the past and future, to obtain " a secure intuition of the absolute and unconditioned," must peruse this amusing and highly in- structive memoir of Franz Carvel. The second, which concludes the volume, is that of " Harold Fremdling, Esq," by Francis Drake, Esq. We have not space to say more of it than what the author is made to say of it in the words of his friend Carvel:—• " That it unfolds a tragedy, with a revolting catastrophe, he can- not help, and he is glad to have my memoir as a companion of more lively character. My brother ( John Spiith, jun, the iron- monger), says my morals are practically right, but my speculative notions wrong , while, with regard to the subject of the other memoir, the speculative notions are right, while the morals issue practically in a miserable failure." We advise the reader to trust to his own judgment; peruse both, and judge for him- self. If he do, he will not have to complain of us as being a writer of false characters.

The Russians lost 700 men ; the Circassians 300. Mehemet Bey is giving to Circassia a military organisation. The tribes of Daghestan have captured Fort Saliah aud massacred the garrison. The garrisons of the neighbouring villages surrendered. POACHING AFFRAY.— On the morning of Wednesday week the gamekeepers and watchers of Sir William Milner had an encoun- ter, at Nun Apple ton, with a party of poachers, the whole of whom were captured. There were five watchers and four poachers. On discovering them the keepers made up to them, when the poachers, who had no guns or other arms, flew to the stone heaps, and assailed the keepers with a shower of these missiles, the consequence of which was, that one of the watchers sustained a violent cut on the head. The keepers then made a formal attack on the poachers, two of whom received severe blows, and one of their dogs was shot. After a smart skirmish the poachers were overpowered and taken off captive, along with their game nets, bags, & c.— Yorkshire Gazette.
