EVANS'S MAGNIFICENT MUSIC and SUP- PER ROOMS, Covent- garden.— Gentlemen visiting London during the Derby wf- ek are respectfully invited to the above far- famed establish- ment. The creation of a new phase, in the entertainments of the public, may assuiedly be claimed by what is now considered as an instituiion of the country. Evans's still is the meeting house of gentlemen, embracing the link of the conviviality of the past with the musical information of the present. No circumstance advancing the amusement of the public has been permitted to escape the attention of the parent house. Year after year the latter has increased in importance, and it is submitted that upon uo occasion has the public been disappointed. The Derby of 1857 has had especial consideration. The glee, madrigal, and part sing- ing, so remarkable at Evans's, will stiil form one of the best attractions. A well- trained choir, consisting af twenty voices. Songs with excellent skill. Comic vocalists: Messrs Woodman, Collins, and Ross. Negro performers: Messrs Smith and party. Instrumental: The Sardinian Minstrels. From the difficulty ( it may be added, the impossibility) of obtaining, at present, new musical talent of sufficient excellence, occa- sional " Enterludes" will be introduced, exhibiting the marvellous abili- ties of Mr Conrath and Sons. Also, the Wonders of Pekin, the Chinese Brothers, who will appear twice each evening. This, the most liberal room entertainment iu the world, it is anxiously hoped will be found satisfactory to the country gentlemen. Independent of amusement, at- tention is invited to the dramatic paintings, now the finest public collec- tion in Europe, including the Peg Woffington, and other originals of im- portance. Throughout the year free admission ( except the Derby and Cattle Show weeks, when upon these occasions, to ensure respectability and comfort, one shilling is charged). Commencing every evening at, 8.

It is now proposed that- tne court which is to be substituted for the present Ecclesiastical ooun shall have complete jurisdiction in the matter, and g& au gran,, if justice requires it, a final divorce. The court is t » nave the power of trying disputed facts by means of a jury, i w - nesses examined viva voce. These may be said to oe in suin- stance the provisions of the bill. They are simple, clear, ana effective, so far as they relate to cases in which the law will allow of a divorce. With regard to them there ought to be no doubt as to their adoption. And, so far as the mere form ot pro- cedure is concerned, it is probable that no serious opposition will be offered to the bill. But then comes the question, mwnat cases, and under what circumstances is such a procedure to be allowed t Here come iu the Church reasoners, and by them the bill will be strongly contested. The Church of Rome says that no divorce is to be permitted. The Church of England says the same thing. But the Church of Rome has found it expedient not to enforce in practice this theoretical rule, and therefore ecclesiastical power ( though with a world of odd expedients and strange pre- tences) grants a divorce in reality by assuming ( in point Oi form) that something existed which rendered the marriage originally invalid. The Church of England not being able to give itself this latitude of dealing, aud being besides subject to the civil rsssnjies the jassibiiitf ot uee* 8^ for a nuai ^ vorce, aud the Parliament gives legislative effect to the recog- nition. These clumsy attempts at evading what cannot be evaded, are now, so far as England is concerned, to be given up, and the new court is to pronounce a sentence of final divorce, without there being any necessity for the intervention of the Legislature. , . , .

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. ., . . The number of sovereigns who come " s'incliner devant Na- as some persons have desired. The most important o> r these is, j poleon III." is great.

That divorce is now only to be had m this • , jie gI. eat naval departments of France. There is to be no " •• of adulterv. and not even then except alter > alteration in the election law of France. The members of the Conference on the Neufchatel question are expected to meet on an early day. There will probably be but one more sitting, to sign, seal, and deliver. The affair may be considered as settled— that is, if any dependence can be placed on the King of Prussia. Even the indem- nity is now given up. Three weeks ago, indeed, this tan- talising affair might have been terminated as now, and the King would then have had the appearance of doing voluntarily and with a good grace what is now, as it were, extorted from him. Some preliminary details of little importance have yet to be arranged ; no day is yet fixed for signing the Protocol. It cannot, however, be far distant. It is rumoured that the King of Prussia seriously contemplates a visit to Paris. ITALY. The Pope is making a tour of his states, and is received with great acclamations. The evils of his government are not attri- buted to him personally. The Parmesan soldiers decorated iu 1819 are now allowed to wear the decorations then given them. Several chests of muskets have been landed in Tuscany. They have been seized by the authorities. Numerous arrests have taken place. The Concordat with Naples has been definitively agreed on and signed. The Archduke Maximilian has begun the work of diKgine out and deepening thg the ! a- ( goons of Venice, Tor the purpose of facilitating the access of larger vessels to the streets and quays. PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin says: " it is still believed, however— I might say it is positively known— that the errand of Prince Napoleon at Berliu, whether it did or did not involve a matri- monial design upon his own account, was combined with a special mission from the Emperor relative to the affair of Neuf- chatel." Colonel Bertrand, who accompanied him to Berlin, has just returned to Paris with despatciies addressed to his Majesty the Emperor. The accredited journals of Prussia, I perceive, now declare that the proposals for the settlement of the dispute have been accepted pures et simples by the King of Prussia, who will, moreover, relinquish unconditionally, aud quite of his own accord, the indemnity of l, 000.000f which Switzerland had consented to pay. If this be the case, no fresh difficulty need be apprehended from the resolution of the cantonal government of Neufchatel to make no further conces- sions with respect to the administration of the local charitable endowments. The definitive vsettlement of the whole tedious controversy may, therefore, be looked forward to at last; but it is thought the conference will not re- assemble for a week or teu days to come. THE PRINCIPALITIES. A despatch from Vienna says that the Danubian elections are fixed for J une 16. A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette of Berlin, says: —" Several conferences have been held this week between Prince Callimachi and Count da Buol, at the last of which Sir Hamilton Seymour was present. In spite of the agitation in the Principalities, no fear is entertained here with respect to the success of the partisans of the union, and the cabinets of Vienna aud London are engaged in drawing up, in concert with the Porte, a reform of the institutions of the Principalities which may satisfy the legitimate demands of that party. We learn, in fact, that Lord Clarendon aud Count de Buol have come to an understanding on a very liberal project, which, while maintain- ing the separation of the Governments of the Principalities, will provide for a joint military, judicial, postal, ana customs admi- nistration. Above all, it is necessary to obtain the consent of Turkey to this plan, aud she will not probably reject it," To ADVERTISERS.— Advertisements not exceeding eight lines axe charged 5s each, and Is for every extra line.

Lord Lyndhurst has truly reminded the legislature that the laws relating to women are made by men, and often bear strong marks of their peculiar origin. It is true that the subjects we have placed at the head of this article are matters of a delicate kind; but it is not because they are so that all the legislation relating to them should be one- sided and unfair. In other em ployments of life, when % difficult piece of work is to be per* formed, you get the best workmen and the neatest; you employ all advantages of skill and taste, and you produce a result which inferior labourers admire, and which the unskilled look upon as marvellous, It is the reverse of ail this in legislation. In the most delicate and difficult of all subjects for law- making, and in that one too which most concerns the well- being and happiness of the great body of the people, the most patchwork assemblage of rules has been long permitted to exist. The misconstructions of texts of Scripture, the prejudices of priests, and the selfish- ness of men, have all furnished their contributions to the law which regulates married life, and to that ¥/ hich is to provide for the painful contingencies to which we all know it is sometimes subject. It was time that some remedy should be afforded to this evil state of things ; and, after numerous commissions have examined, and many learned men have considered and decided on what ought to be done ( not with a perfect unanimity of opinion among them), the Lord Chancellor presents to the Legis- lature a proposal on the subject. His lordship says that the necessity. So far as the Lord Chancellor's speech explains tne matter the proceeding will be one taken against the wife, and the present action of crim. con. will either be dispensed wuh altogether, or is not to be allowed until after the sentence of divorce has been pronounced. This seems to us a mistake. If the wife aione is to be made the defendant in the suit, all our laws of property must be altered, or the law must assign her the means of effectively making a defence, or many innocent women will be placed entirely at the mercy of profligate hu . bauds. We entirely disagree from those faucitul people who, with singular inconsistency, declaim, as The Times does, against the indecency of an action for crim. con., and propose as a substitute a prose- cution of the offender. The writer who put forth this notable scheme must have had au odd idea of evidence when he sup- posed that the prosecution would or could be less indecent than the action. It would be all the other way, for the details to jus- tify a criminal conviction must be eveu more precise than those wliich would justify a verdict for damages. But besides this, the husband, in many cases is, by the loss of his wife's society and labour, deprived of advantages which ho must supply by a money expenditure, and that expenditure ought, in one form or another, to be defrayed out of the pocket of the person who has occasioned it. The person thus made a defendant in an action in which he may have to pay in damages and costs is little likely to be in collusion with the husband, and his defence, if combined with that of the wife, would probably present the truth to the tribunal. As the law at present stands, the wife can make no defence. Even in such a case her separate existence is not legally acknowledged, aud her fate is made to depend on the course adopted by the hus- band and the alleged seducer. A little alteration would set right this grievous anomaly. The husband ought to proceed as at present against the seducer, but the process ought to be served ou the wife. She ought to appear in court iu her own right, and the result of the case, or the discretion of the court on that result, ought to determine whether the husband or the defendant should pay the costs of her defence. One investiga- tion aione would then suffice, and the wrong doer would suffer in the point in which such wrong doers are, generally speaking, most sensitive. One of the bishops, who plainly does not understand the working of law, proposes a prosecu- cution and a punishment. He might almost as well propose an immunity for the wrong doer. Daily experience proves that where there is no mode of proceeding but by way of indictment the law is rarely enforced, and many very admirable laws are on that very account dead letters on our statute book. The plan we have suggested would give vigour to the execution of the law ; would, more than any other, secure its fair and proper application ; and would, in truth, be a much greater terror than any mere liability to fine and imprisonment. There is not a common lawyer of any experience who will not confirm this argument. We have only space to allude to one more point. Lord Lynd- hurst, who, appearing as the advocate for the female sex, has beeu in truth the advocate for justice, proposed not only that a woman may sue for a divorce on account of adultery perpetrated by the husband, but also on account of resolute and pertinacious desertion. The Scotch law ( introduced at the Reformation) allows a suit of that kind. Why should not, the English ? Why, indeed? All the objects of the marriage are frustrated by the desertion, and the woman is left to bear a name which falsely describes her, and to suffer all the miseries of an anomalous position, while the guilty deserter, unrestrained by those con- siderations which operate on the woman's mind, debars himself fromnoenjoyment, and perhaps is, by continuing to bear the name of a husband, enabled to gratify his vioiousness by the scandalous misemployment of the fortune he has acquired with his wife. This gross injustice calls loudly for remedy. THE PRINCESS ROYAL. The formal announcement of the intended marriage of the Princess Royal has been made, aud the country is required to supply the dowry. There never was a sovereign who had a fairer claim than her present Majesty to make a demand of this kind. In a monarchial country so much depends on the indi" vidual character aud conduct of the monarch that, where these are guided by principles of honour and virtue, the country re- ceives a perpetually renewed and increasing benefit. No checks by an independent House of Commons, or by a free press, could avail much against a bad example in the behaviour of the monarch. Society would be more or less corrupted by it, and the national character would itself become enervated by the in- fluence of court vices. The evil that reigued in the court would descend in a greater or less degree through the aristocracy, and taint the middle and even the very humblest classes. The re- verse of this is the case with a good sovereign, and morality is all the more firmly established in the land since its practice is courtly and fashionable. That the spirit of the age has its in fluence on the Court, is no doubt true, but it is also true that the Court has its influence on the spirit of t he age, and it is happy for the world when both unite for the encouragement of do- mestic habits and moral virtue. It is so at this moment in England. The formal announcement of the marriage was accompanied in both houses by some observations of the Ministers. It would have beeu well had Lord Palmerston confined himself ( as Earl Granville did) to a complimentary reference to the virtues of the princess, the good character of her intended husband, and the chances of a happy marriage. Lord Palmerston unfortunately indulged in a reference to '' political prospects." This was bad in two ways. It suggested something which we believe to be untrue, namely, that other motives besides those of mutual affection had brought about this match— and it necessarily, therefore, presented to the mind considerations which it would be as well not to be compelled to remember. There is certainly at thi3 moment nothing in the conduct of the chief of the Prussian royal family that could make Englishmen desire a closer alliance with the Prussian royal house, and, for ourselves, we frankly say that if we did not entertain a more favourable opiuiou of the young prince than of the king, we should very much regret the mar- riage. In this view of the matter, Lord Palmerston's reference to political prospects, as connected with the marriage, was not a happy one. Was there, however, a deep purpose in it ? Did he intend to suggest to England that some provision should be made against the contingency, not absolutely impossible, but all will hope quite improbable, of a complete failure of male heirs to the English crown, and the consequent devolution of the sovereignty to the Priucess Royal. If he did so, the suggestion is one which ought not to be disregarded. Though England would know well enough how to protect itself against the uncon- stitutional and unparliamentary government of Prussia, whose king would thus become so potent in this country, it would not be amiss to declare beforehand what ought to be done. We should certainly like to see the Prussians as free as ourselves, but we have no inclination to run any, not even the very smallest, risk of having to defend ourselves against the chance of being reduced to their condition of political subjugation. PERSIA. A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople of the 8th inst, via Trieste, states that the treaty of peace signed at Paris be- tween Lord Cowley and Ferukh Khan arrived at Teheran on the 4th of April, and was received with satisfaction bj the Shah and his people. The disturbances which have taken place in Persia are attributed to financial embarrassments. THE COMET.— Mr John Hartnup, the astronomer at the Liverpool Observatory, has replied as follows to a gentleman who wrote to him ou the subject of the comet, which at present agitates the minds of timid people :—" Observatory, Liverpool, May 14,1857.— I have not seen the newspaper paragraphs to which you allude respecting the comet which appears to be so much dreaded by the timid ; but I can assure the good ladies of whom you speak as being nervous on the subject that, however muck fbejr may be attached to life, they may laugh at ine idea of so remote a danger as the annihilation of our earth by contact with one of those mysterious bodies. Of the physical constitu- tion of comets astronomers do not know anything, except that they appear to be gaseous. The effect produced by contact of the earth with a comet would, therefore, probably be nothing more than the mixture of the gaseous material with our atmos- phere. Should this take place, the effect produced is just as likely to be good as bad ; but, for anything that we know to the contrary, all the comets put together would not be sufficient to produce any sensible effect. The chance of a collision is, how- ever, very remote. The late Professor Arago made a calculation as to the probability of the nucleus of a comet, the form and position of whose orbit was not known, coming in contact with the earth, and found that the chances were 280,000,000 to 1 against this taking place. It has been said by a very celebrated astronomer of the present day that we might as well attempt to ascertain how far a cloud which is driven against a mountain will tend to break off the top, as to speculate upon any me- chanical danger to the earth from contact with a comet. PEESENI FROM THE KING OP POETUGAL TO THE QUEEN OS ENGLAND.—- His Majesty the King of Portugal has just sent over to this country a present of cattle of a very peculiar breed to her Majesty Queen Victoria, consisting of a bull, two heifers, and a bull calf. The animals, which are of the most perfect symmetry, and very diminutive, standing scarcely forty inches high, are of a dun colour, and iu line" condition. The cows are very docile, but the bull, on being driven from the station to Prince Albert's Model Farm, Frogmore, where they are now installed, exhibited a disposition rather the reverse of that of his companions, by tossing an unfortunate donkey, about his own size, which happened to come in lids way. These Lillipu- tion animals very much resembie the Alderney or Jersey breed, but appear to be searcely more than half the size. DEATH OE Misa MACNAGHTEN.— We regret to learn that Miss Macnag'nten, eldest daughter of Sir Edmund C. Macnaghten, Bart, met with a distressing accident on Monday forenoon, which terminated fatally. The unfortunate young lady, it appears, was occupied in the drawing- room, 42, Upper Brook- street, in writing a letter, and it is believed that she s'ruck a light in order to seal the letter, when a spark emanated from the match and lodged un- perceived in a portion of her muslin dress. In a short time she rushed from the room shrieking loudly, and descended the stair- case to the hall, entirely enveloped in flames. One of the do- mestics, alarmed by the cries of Miss Macnaghten, ran up stairs, and perceiving the shocking state Miss Macnaghten was in, rushed into the dining- room, and seizing a baize table- cover, had the presence of mind to wrap it round the unfortunate lady. Alarm was instantly given, and medical aid was promptly ob- tained, when it was ascertained that she was dreadfully burnt, and the medical gentleman gave no hopes of her recovery. She continued to linger up to eight o'clock in the evening, when death relieved her from her sufferings. Miss Macnaghten was 25 years of age. An inquest has been held, and a verdict in accordance with the above facts has been returned. POSTPONEMENT OF THE HOP DUTY.— We have much pleasure in finding that the appeal made by the hop planters to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Saturday se'nnight has not been entirely without effect, a notice having been issued on Wednes- day last to the officers in the various " collections" as under :— " Inland Revenue Office, May 13, 1857. Sir; The board desire that the payment of the first moiety of the hop duty for 1856 be deferred until July 15 next.— I am, Sir, your obedient servaut, THOS. DODSON. The Collector, & c."— The concession thus made is unfortunately somewhat limited in its practical utility by two causes— first, owing to the brief period of postponement; and secondly, because of the lateness of the announcement, coming as it does at a date when by far the greatest portion of the planters had submitted to sacrifices in order to provide for the collection. This, however, is no fault of Sir George Cornewall Lewis, who it must be admitted has responded with great promptitude to the appeal made to him, and with an evident desire to spare the planters from further immediate pressure. By many of the smaller planters the postponement even for two months will be hailed as a boon, however the delay for so short CIECASSIA. Accounts from Constantinople, just received at Trieste, state that the mountaineers under the orders of the son of Schamyl are said to have repulsed a body of 4,000 Russians near Shalisch. On the other hanu, there are reports of a total defeat of a body of Schamyl's troops. ^^^ THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA.— The Indian papers are chiefly occupied with the re- cent military events in the Persian Gulf. The fuller details now received respecting the deaths of General Stalker and Commo- dore Ethersey invest those events with a poignaut interest. The following short account of the melancholy events is given by the Bombay Times of the 16th ult:—" The deaths of General Stalker and Commodore Ethersey are plainly attributable to identical causes, remote and immediate, Both men should have been in Europe on sick leave, instead of directing operations in the Gulf. In each instance the nervous system was evidently shattered by the climate, and quite unequal to encounter, except under the influence of casual strong excitement-, the extraordinary respon- sibility thrust upon it. For some days prior to the 14th ult, on which the unhappy general destroyed himself, it was observed that he was unusually depressed, » ud is is generally believed that recent heavy pecuniary losses had come to supplement the harassing responsibilities of his position, and destroy the energies already undermined by disease, and fainting under an exagge- rated estimate of what was required from hiaa. It was deter- mined that he should command at Bushire, in the absence of General Outram, who would conduct the operations against Mohamerah, and he seems to have imagined that the force to be left at his disposal was inadequate to the ser- vice. There is not the shadow of a suspicion that any unpleasantness occurred between him and General Outram, a friendship the most chivalric and ardent subsisting be- tween them. They breakfasted together, in the company of the staff, on the morning of his death, and no one ob- served any alteration in his manner. He rose from the table, and having called upon several of his staff, all of whom unhap- pily were out, proceeded to his own tent, where a pistol shot was heard ten minutes afterwards, and the unhappy general was found in the agony of death. Several of the witnesses testify to his nervous and undue apprehensien for the health of the troops during the approaching hot weather. Certain it is, the men aud officers loved the gallant old man, who thus car,: d for them with uo ordinary love, aud his memory saddens every heart. It is but right to add that one of the witnesses, Colonel Lugard, asserts his strong belief that the explosion of the pistol was accidental. The verdict, however, determined that the general destroyed himself in a fit of temporary insanity. The gloom that was cast over the camp by this melancholy event was to be deepened ere long by another equally, if not more painful. Ou the morning of the 16i- h ulc, two days after the death of Stalker, a rumour spread through the camp that the Commodore of the Navy, Captain Ethersey, had destroyed him- self in the night, aud but too well fouuded it was. It had been matter of remark for some time that the Commodore, a most able and talented man, was suffering from mental excitement of no ordinary kind, and it is much to be regretted that a too nice sense of honour should have kept him with the force when his state evidently demanded that he should invalid for a time. On the night of his death he had been poring over despatches recently received from Sir H. Leeke, and a memorial to the Government of Bombay lay beside them on his dressing table. It would seem that, tired and confused, sick and in despair, he at last placed the pistol at his head and destroyed himself. On the mutiny of the 19th Regiment of Native Infantry, which has ended in the disbandment of that corps, aud the sprt ad of disaffection to the 34th Regiment Native Infantry— a subject of which the Bengal papers are full— the Bombay Times has the following remarks :— The original pretence of the mu- tineers was, that they were supplied with cartridges in the manufacture of which some animal impurity was used that it would defile a Brahmin to touch. The fact turns out to be, that it is the old story of a demand for increase of pay. The most dangerous feature in these mutinies is the combination of the men, aud to render such a combination an impossibility one would think was the dictate of common sense. The danger of forming a regiment of eight hundred Brahmins is as conspicuous as that of forming one of eight hundred Musselmen, and until the Bengal army be remodelled in this respect, it will ever be liable to the dangerous disaffections by which it has of late years been characterised. Caste is the bane of that army, aud until it is trampled out of its constitution the State will ever be moving with a mine under its foundation. Mutiny is a thing unheard of in the Bombay army, and we can trace its immunity to no other causa than the fact that caste is unknown in it. A com- bination amongst the sepoys of a Bombay regiment, such as that which evidently existed in the disbanded corps of the 19th N. I., is an impossibility, from the nature of the elements which compose our army, no commixture of any kind resulting. We have the proud Rajpoot and the Brahmin, the Jew, the Mussul- man and the Mahratta, side by side in our lines, living in perfect harmony with each other, but incapable of fusion or combina- tion anywhere but on the parade ground, aud that is what ought to be the case all over India. OoMMimit 03? BACC" rok THS MURDER OS HIS MOTHER. Ou Wednesday morning Thomas Fuller Bacon was brought up before the mayor and a full bench of magistrates, at the Town Hall, Stamford, charged with the murder of his mother, Mrs Ann Bacon, who died on the 15th of May, 1855. It will be recol- lected that the prisoner was, after bis acquittal at the Old Bailey, conveyed by Mr William Reed, the chief constable of Stamford, to Lincoln, where, ou Saturday, he underwent a pre- liminary examination, after which the inquiry was adjourned until Wednesday.— Mr W. Jacksou deposed that he was a sur- geon, and resided at Stamford. He made a post mortem exami- nation of the body of Mrs Ann Bac on. Upon opening the body with a crucial incision he iouud the abdominal cavities unusually- thick. They consisted of layers of fat and muscle of a reddish colour, varying from half an inch to two inches in thickness. On raising the parities, the omentum or caul was exposed, on which a peculiar redness was observable. It was loaded with fat. It was firm, hard, and iu an adipocerous condition, haviuer the appearance of cured meat, and it cut like firm fat or softened wax. On removing the omentum the bowels were seen. They appeared dry and empty, somewhat inflated, aud corrugated like a dry bladder, a patch of redness here and there. The mes- sentery was loaded with fat. The colon and stomach appeared thickened, and of the same adipose substance. The stomach was of a very dark reddish colour, and much reduced in size. The pancreas, spleen, kidneys, & c, were ail lirmly adherent, and turned out en masse. The uterus was thickened, and the blad- der empty; the rectum thickened, dry, and adipose- looking; the liver was small; the gall bladder was full; the whole of the viscera of the abdomen were in a nigh sute of preservation, and presented a very peculiar appearance. Such a condition could not be produced by any disease. The appearance was like what Dr Christison and other analytical chemists describe as bting from the effects of arsenic. The heart was empty, the lungs were softened in structure, and purified. A quantity of bloody liquid was taken from the chest. Copious depositions were taken, and then read over by the clerk, and the prisoner was fully committed to Lincoln to take his trial at the next assizes. Mr William Reed, the chief constable of Stamford ( to whom great praise is due for his exertions in procuring the exhumation of Mrs Bacon, and bringing the prisoner for trial), convejed Bacou this evening to Lincoln, where hewassaiely lodged in the castle, at which place he will be tried. THE CONVICT MANSELD.— In the ease of Thomas Mansell, condemned to death at the Maidstone Assizes, the Attorney- General has issued a new fiat, to have the case raised at the trial argued before the Exchequer Chamber. It will be remembered that the Court of Queen's Bench decided in favour of the con- viction, aud against the points raised by prisoner's counsel. Sir R. Bethell, however, is not satisfied with this decision ; and in a case of so much delicacy— involving human life— has de- cided upon obtaining the judgment of the higher tribunal. In the case of a decision by one of the superior courts at West- minster, the Court of Error is composed of the judges of the other two courts of law. in this case, therefore, the question will be decided by the judges of the Exchequer and of the Com- mon Pleas. In the meantime the sentence is respited to the 22d of June. NEWPKOCEES FOE LAUNCHING VESSELS.— New graving docks on the Thames are in course of construction iu connection with the Victoria Docks, and upon an entirely original principle. By an hydraulic lift, and a contrivance for subsequently floating each vessel into shallow water, where all the necessary exami- nations and repairs can be conducted from workshops alongside, the enormous cost of the deep excavations required under the preseut system is to be avoided, an extent of (. pace being at once rendered available which at a comparatively slight outlay would enable any number of ships to bo accommodated. A belief is stated that " by this process our largest vessels— such as the Himalaya— may be completely docked iu two hours, while from eight to ten ordinary vessels may with facility be raised, exa- mined, and launched again, per day." The'patentee is Mr Edwin Clarke, and the capital i'or the works now in course of formation— £ 70,000 ' has beeu chiefly subscribed among the principal London engineers, and their friends, Messrs Stephen- a time may be comparatively of l'ittle importance to others pos- 1 s° n, Locke, Ha « kshaw, Fowler, Hawksley, Berkley, and Bidder sessed of larger resources,— Sussex Advertiser. having expressed full confidence in the undertaking. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— ST JAMES'S PARK.— The Earl of MAIMES* BUKV inquired by what authority the Minister for Public Works had incurred the serious expenses attending the ius- provements in St James's Park. Presuming that some corres- pondence on the subject had takeu place between that func- tionary and the Treasury, he asked to have the documents pub- lished for the information of Parliament.— Earl GRANVILLE, after repeating some explanations previously given, promised to lay the papers on their lordships' table. MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL.— The LOSD CHANCELLOE brought up a message from the Crown, acquaint- ing the peers of the proposed marriage between the Princess Royal and Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and inviting the house to concur, both by wish aud act, in promoting the happiness of the affianced pair.— On the motion of Earl GSAN- VILLE, which the Earl of DEEBT seconded iu a brief compli- mentary speech, a loyal address in reply to this gracious mes- sage was agred to nemine contradicente. PROBATE OF WILLS— The LORD CHANCELLOE moved the second reading of the Probates and Letters of Administration Bill. The measure having been so recently explained when brought forward in the past session, the noble and learned lord contented himself with briefly describing the machinery by which he proposed to supersede the present testamentary juris- diction of the ecclesiastical courts.— After some discussion, in which Lord CAMPBELL, the Bishop of LONDON, and other peers took part, the motion was agreed to, and the bill read a second time. T'J^ SDAY.— DITOSIGE ANDMATMMONIAL CAUSES.— The LOED CHANCELLOE, ou moving the second reading of the Divorce aud Matrimonial Causes Bill, briefly explained the state of the law of marriage in this country before and after the Re- formation. In 1850 a commission was appointed to inquire into the whole subject, and it was ou the recommendations contained in the report of that commission that the present bill was founded. He proposed to create a new tribunal, consisting of the Lord Chancellor, one of the Chief Justices, and an ecclesias- tical judge. According to the present practice, before a divorce a vinculo matrimonii could be obtained, proceedings must be taken in the ecclesiastical court, a verdict must ba obtained against the adulterer, and the facts must be established at the bar of their lordships' house. His proposal was, to substitute one tribunal to investigate the matter once for all, and that the proceedings should take place by viva voce evidence. Whatever interpretations might be put upon texts of Scripture, he be- lieved it would be most unwise to attempt to extend divorce to anything short of adultery. The bill would give the wife a right to apply for a divorca in the case of incestuous adultery, bigamy, and unjustifiable desertion. He had not retained the clause which prohibited the adulterer marrying the adulteress. He believed it calculated to do more harm than good. By the standing orders, the action of crim con was a necessary preli- minary to a divorce ; but he proposed that, hereafter, the action should be fouuded on a divorce that had been obtained. This was the present law of Scotland. The jurisdiction in cases of divorce a mensa et thoro would remain, as now, with the eccle- siastical court. After a divorce so obtained by the wife, her status would in all respects ba that of an unmarried woman. If he succeeded in this measure, he should have accomplished a great object. His lordship then moved that the bili be read a second iime.— The Archbishop of CANTEKBUBY said the sub- ject before their lordships was one which affected the social life of the commuuity, and at the same time was one most difficult to deal with, as it was impossible to foresee the conse- quences that might result from legislating upon it. The facilities of divorce in many States on the Continent were no doubt in- tended not to injure morality, but to obviate existing inconve- niences ; but those facilities had ended in so great a laxity of morals, that there was a strong desire in those countries to re- move them. On that account ha felt great comfort that, in legislating ou marriage, they had an authority to quote which could not lead them wrong. But while, twerelore, he was willing to vote for the second reading of the bill, he must oppose in committee the clause which permitted the guilty parties to be united in legal marriage.— Lord LXNDHUEST was most anxious for the success of the bill. He believed it was a Scrip- tural doctriue that marriage might be dissolved in the case of adultery ; but our law on the subject was derived from the system which prevailed when the country was under Roman Catholic rule. One hundred and fifty years ago recourse had been had to palliatives, but these means were available only for the rich. Tne law ought to embrace both rich and poor. Upou this principle it was impossible that any solid objection could ba made to the alterations proposed by the bill. But he was of opinion that the bill did not go far enough. One objection he had to the bill was its great inequality between t he two sexes. He called upou their lordships to do justice. The more their lordships considered this part of the measure the more they would be satisfied of the unsoundness of the argument urged against women who applied for a divorce on the ground of adul- tery on the part of the husband. But, if their lordships could not concur iu that suggestion, he hoped they would allow wilful desertion to be a sufficient grcuud for divorce.— A long discus- sion ensued, the bill being supported by Lord Wensleydale, Lord Campbell, Lord Malmesbury, the Bishops of London, Durham, and Llandaff; aud opposed by the Duke of Norfolk, the Bishop of Oxford, and others.— A division took place, when the second reading was carried by 47 to 18. THURSDAY.— The house did not sit. FRIDAY.— PltO BATE AND LETTERS OF ADMINIS- TRATION.— After some business of no general interest the house went into committee on this bill, aud was occupied the remainder of the evening in discussing its clauses, HOUSE OF COMMONS. M03SDAY— MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL.— Lord PALMEESTON brought up a message from the Queen, inti- mating the iuteuded union of the Princess Royal aud Prince Frederick William ol Prussia, and requesting the house to concur in making such provision for the eldest daughter of the Sovereign as might be deemed suitable to the honour of the Crown aud the dignity of the country.— The message having been read from the chair, Lord PALMEESTON moved an address in reply to the royal message. Briefly remarking upon the many virtues of the royal parents, the high promise of excellence evinced in the character of the Princess Victoria, aud the prospects both of do- mestic happiness aud of international benefit held forth by her marriage with the Prince of Prussia, he asked the house to respond iu fitting terms to the communication just received from the Sovereign. In this reply no pledge, he observed, would be given as to the further measures that might be takeu by way of testifying to her Majesty the loyalty and affection of her sub- jects.— The motion was seconded by Mr DISEAELI, and carried unanimously.— Lord PALMEBSTON stated that he should, on Friday next, move that the royal message bo taken into further consideration. THE ARMY.— Colonel NOETH adverted to certain charges against the officers of the army, which the hon member for Lambeth was reported to have urged in a speech addressed to his constituents at the late election.— Mr W. WILLIAMS denied that his observations bore the meaning that had been attached to them, He had always believed and said, that the regimental officers of the British army were better and braver than those of any other aroiy in the world. Of the military system, and of the commanding officers, he might possibly have expressed a different opinion.— Sir W. CODEINGTON admitted that election speeches should not be too minutely criticised. They were spoken amidst scenes of much excitement, and often incorrectly reported. He was therefore ready to accept the explanation offered by the member for Lambeth. The hou and gallant mem- ber then adverted to the censures cast upou General Asaburii- ham, and read a letter from an eye- witness, describing his bril- liant gallantry at the battle of Sobraon. SUPPLY.— The house having gone into committee of supply, Sir C. WOOD brought forward the Navy Estimates, amounting, in the aggregate, to a sum of £ 9,074,000, whereof about £ 3,390,000 had been voted on account in the last session of Par- liament. The first lord proceeded to explain, in detail, the seve- ral items of which this gross expenditure was composed.— The successive votes for the naval service were then proposed amidst a miscellaneous discussion, which occupied several hours. THE TRANSPORTATION AND PENAL SERVITUDE BILL was considered, as amended, and ordered to stand for third reading. THE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY ( IRELAND) BILL was read a second time. THE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY ( IRELAND) SALARIES, & c, BILL was passed through committee. TUESDAY- ASSAULTS ON WOMEN.— On the order of the day for the second reading of the Aggravated Assaults Bill, Sir GEOEGE GEET moved that it be read a second time that day six mouths, on the ground that it was objectionable to give ma- gistrates the power of inflicting the punishment of whipping on adult males.— The question was then put, and the house divided, when there appeared— for the motion, 86 ; against it, 221 ; majority, 135. MINISTERS' MONEY.— Mr FAGAN moved the second read- ing of the Ministers' Money Bill.— Mr NAPIEE moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months, on the ground that its principle was a violation of the rights of property, and contravened the Church Temporalities Act.— SirG. GEEY supported the bill, believing that the time had arrived when this charge should be transferred to the fuuds of the Ecclesiastical Commission.— Mr WHITESIDE ob- jected to Sir G. Grey's arguments as shallow and unsatisfac- tory. The question, though it involved only a small amount of money, involved a great principle.— Mr HOESMAN justified the present Government in the course they were about to pursue, and reminded the hon member for the University of Dublin, that when he was Attorney- General for Ireland he promised to bring in a bill to settle the question.— Mr BLAKE said he would support any measure which would tend to do away with such an odious tax.— Sir F. THESIGEE opposed the bill, on the ground that it endangered the security of all property whatso- ever.— Mr FITZGEEALD supported the motion.— Lord J. RUS- SELL supported the bill, observing that it could be sustained upon the principle of the act of 1833, by which Lord Derby got rid of Church cess in Ireland, aud by doing away with which he swept off a tax of £ 70,000 a year upon the people of Ireland.— Mr WALPOLE opposed the measure.— Lord PALIIEESTON de- clared that the Government had come to the conclusion that this impost should be got rid of, upon its appearing that the funds of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners were adequate for the purpose. In supporting the bill, they did so on conviction that the measure would be a good one, aud they were ready to as- sume all the responsibility of it.— The house then divided :— For the second" reading, 313 ; against, 174; majority, 139. WEDNESDAY.— The house was occupied, during its short sitting, with business which presented no features of interest. THURSDAY— MAYNOOTH.— Mr SPOONEE moved a reso- lution, " That this house do resolve into a committee to con- sider the acts for the endowment of Maynooth, with a view to the withdrawal of any endowment out of the Consolidated Fund, due regard being had to vested rights aud interests." In stating the reasons which induced him to renew this motion, he dis- claimed any quarrel with Roman Catholics and all ambitious motives, the task being, he said, a very painful one, which an imperative sense of duty alone compelled him to undertake. He proceeded to argue that Parliament, by this graut, paid for the teaching of doctrines hostile to the Protestant- constitution and to the principles of civil and religious liberty, destructive of morality, and antagonistic to the Reformed Established Church, which the Sovereign by the Coronation Oath, and Parliament by the Oath of Allegiance, were bound to maintain. He denied that there had been any parliamentary contract in this matter; Sir R. Peel, on introducing the measure of 1845, distinctly stated that it, had not been a subject of stipulation or contract. As upon former occasions, he read extracts from works of Roman Catholic writers of high authority, enunciating doctrines sub- versive of morals, which, he said, were only a few samples of a most abominable system; and he asked whether these doctrines and the denunciation of those who were stigmatised as heretics — doctrines immoral and rebellious— ought to be taught at the expense of a Christian and a Protestant assembly. He warned the Government of the effects which must be produced in time by the instilling of such principles with the money of the public into the minds of the ignorant, and called upon the house to consent to the motion, and thereby restore the Protestant cha- racter of the nation.— Very few members spoke ou the question, the members of the Government taking no part in the discus- sion. On a division the motion was negatived by 125 to 91. FRAUDULENT BREACHES OF TRUST.— The ATTOENET- GENEEAL, in moving for leave to bring in a bdl to make fraudu- lent breaches of U- ust criminally liable, remarked upon the anomaly peculiar to English law, which divested theft aud rob- bery when accompanied by breach of trust— that was, when the act u a1 rendered most odious and abominable— of their criminal character. The definition of " theft," ha observed, was defective in our common law, according to which there could be no lar- ceny in a trustee of property held by him in trust, the trustee being considered the legal owner of the property. He proposed to make the fraudulent conversion by a trustee of property com- mitted to his charge a criminal offence, providing that there should be no criminal proceeding against a trustee without the previous permission of one of the superior courts of law or the Attorney- General. He pointed out various difficulties which would have to be encountered in this alteration of the law, and the grades of distinction between trusts, some being direct, others resulting, and it would be necessary to consider what; were the species of trust which should be exempted from the j criminal category. There were other parties who did not stand i in the legal relation of trustees— such as directors and managers : of joint- stock companies, whom his bill would render criminally I THS DKAMA. HER MAJESTY'S THEATEE.- On Satu": DAY week a new ballet, in two tableaux, was produced at this boutse. It is cadea ." Aealista," The subject is fanciful and pretty, and is, moreover, one preeminently adapted for the production f'° choreographic effect, the scene shifting from the celestial regions * 0 ® Pam » the action passing, now in the court of Ternsi « horn. sunny slopes of Sevilla. The principal dancers are'Mdlle Rolla, Mdme Perea Nena, and Mdlles Miehelet, Karliski, and b'ru- netti. The story is the means of introducing some admirable dances for the purpose of displaying the peculiar talents of responsible in cases of keeping false accounts, making false en- tries, issuing false representations accompanied by acts to give colour thereto, and paying dividends out of capital; these clauses would also extend to assignees of bankrupts and insol- vents. The criminal liability would r. ot interfere with civil re- medies. The Attorney- General explained with much perspicuity the main features of this first instalment ( as he termed it) of useful law reform, which he thought would have the effect of re- pressing the frequent recurrence of the offences against which it was aimed, and he intimated in the course of his speech hi3 de- termination to try whether the law as it stood was not strong enough to reach the delinquencies with which the public had recently been so familiar.— Leave was given to introduce the bill. WINDING- UP OF JOINT- STOCK COMPANIES- The ATTOENEY- GENERAL then moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the act 6th and 8th Victoria, cap 111, facilitating the winding up the affairs of joint- stock companies unable to meet their pecuniary engagements, and also the Joint- Stock Com- panies Winding- up Acts, 184S and 1849. He explained the de- Granada, is developed in all its eccentricity, xno extrao>- dm& rv feckve working of the existing law, and its oppressive action , agility with which these dances were executed by ftladame tnrough the want ot authorised representatives of creditors to Perea Nona, the piquancy which she communicated to every maka valid and binding arrangements or compromises with j motion, and the purely national stvle of the dances and the shareholders ; and he proposed by this bill to enable creditors , dancer, are features iu this performance deserviug of the hiehesfe to elsct a representative who could accept a composition and I commendation. Mdile Rolla, as Terpsichore, was more graceful bind the whole body, and to authorize shareholders as soon as ...... terms of arrangement were agreed upon to apply to the court and obtain protection from vexatious suits, on giving security to fulfil those terms.— Mr MALINS suggested that it would be an improvement if, as soon as a winding- up order was obtained, the right of suing the shareholders should cease.— Mr DEASY spoke iu favour of the measure.— Mr WYLD likewise approved the bill, but hoped the suggestion of Mr Malins would not be adopted — The ATTOENEY- GENEEAL added a few further n-*- 1-- " : . „_ R X _... - I^- MA;' J and the house having resolved itself into a committee upon the acts, a resolution was agreed to, upon which leave was asked and obtained to introduce the bill. dina," in which the peculiarities of that style of choreography, as developed in the ancient seat of Moorish power, the province of eccentricity. The extraordinary FRIDAY— THE DERBY DAY, & c— In answer to a question by Mr Walpole, Lord PALMEBSTON said, that Tuesday next being her Majesty's birthday and Wednesday being the Derby day, he should, on Monday evening, move the adjournment of the house until Thursday. For the Whitsuntide holidays he should move on Friday next, that the house do adjourn from that day until the following Thursday. THE DOWRY OF THE PBINCESS ROYAL— After some remarks from Mr ROEBUCK, the house went into committee ou the Queen's Message, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pro- ceeded to state at some length the manner iu which the royal family were provided for by the constitution. Formerly there were large hereditary revenues at the disposal of the Crown, but they had been surrendered, and the Sovereign was entirely de- pendent upon the bounty of Parliament. In foreign countries this was not so; and ill Prussia, with which the Princess Royal was about to form a matrimonial alliance, the Sovereign, although associated with Parliament, had an hereditary incomp, which rendered him independent of the Parliament. The right hon gentleman then proceeded to contrast the civil list of the present day with that which existed in the time of George III. Coming to the proposition be had to make to the house, he said the Government had to propose a dowry of £ 40,000 and £ 8,000 a year.— Mr ROBBUCK moveci an amendment that the provision be made by a given sum and not by way of annuity.— Mr WILLIAMS seconded the amendment, which was opposed by Lord John Russell, Mr Disraeli, and others, and after some con- versation, Mr Roebuck withdrew his amendment, and the motion was agreed to. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. TROOPS FOE CHINA.— The Adventure and Assistance, iron steam troop- ships, embarked their respective allotments of troops for China on Wednesday at Portsmouth; these consisted of seven companies of the S2d Regiment in the Assistance, and three companies of tho same and three companies of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers in the Adventure. The arrangements of tho embarkation were very good. Everything conueQied with the equipment and the victualling and berthing of the troops was efficiently provided for, and there is every prospect of their being comfortable on board. We regret, however, to report very differently of the conduct of the men of the 82d prior to going on board. Some 200 or 300 of them were rioting ail night on the eve of embarkation, and on Wednesday morning also. Portsea was kept in a constant state of commotion. The men got drunk and were disorderly, broke windows, and insulted those they fell in with most disgracefully, and one man crowned his feats by participating [ iu a burglary, and was committed by the Ports- mouth justices to take his trial at Winchester for that crime. The scene at the dockyard baffles a correct description ; the men wore picked up by strong pickets, and got iato cabs and omnibuses in default of being able to use their legs, and were so taken to the dockyard jetty, where some were landed in a help- less state. They were to have embarked about one o'clock, but they were not on board by five. The following are the officers who embarked :— In the Assistance— Lieut- Colonel J.. A.

THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN BEOWN OF THE 23D WELSH FUSI- LIERS.— Ou Monday Mr Bedford held an inquest, at the Brewers' Tavern, Jermyn- street, upon Capt John Brown, aged 59, a member of the Junior United Service Ciu'o, who shot him- self with a revolver, at his lodgings, No. 8, Charles- street, St James's, on Friday week. It appeared from the evidence of a medical gentleman, Dr Tothill, that since au attack of fever which he had last month, deceased had seemed not quite right in his mind. Dr Tothill had called for deceased to take a ride with him, and was just outside the door of the room when the report of the pistol was henrd. Deceased, who had heard him knock, and called out " Who's there?" shot himself the instant after. The jury returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity.

Commander Alfred J Curtis, from the Pacific, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday. She sailed from Valparaiso, Jan 21, arrived at the Falkland Islands Feb 18, and left on the 23d. The screw steam corvette Satellite, 21, Captain James C. Prevost, having in tow the sloop Siren, 16, Commander Jasper H. Selwyn, had left with Governor Moore for the missionary settle- ment at Keppel's Island, off the coast of Patagonia. The Admiralty state yacht Osborne, Commander G. H. K. Bowes, K. L. H. ( master, R. N.), is ordered to leave Portsmouth on Monday next ( to- morrow), with Flag- Captain G. H. Seymour, C. B., of her Majesty's ship Victory, for Cherbourg, to be in at- tendance upon his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constan- tine, Lord High Admiral of the Imperial Russian Navy, whom she will embark on the evening of the 28th instant, with a suite of sixteen aide- de- canips, for Osborne. At present the arrange- ment is for the Grand Duke aud staff to leave late on the evening of the 28th, so as to arrive at Osborne early on the morning of the 29th. and stately in her style than her high- heeled, gay- spirited, sal- tatory rival -, but she danced with great aplomb, and in every re- spect proved herself an excellent artiste. The other dauces were a pas de cinq, exceedingly well executed; " The Reunion of Dances," a lively movement performed with great spirit and vivacity by the chief dancers and the corps de ballet; and the " Lesson," in which Terpsichore teaches her pliant pupil and quondam rival, all in the first tableau; and " Las Alicaniinas," —' dance n"' 1 " T- U. • » " sort or err.'"" •*•" » • <- anera, auotner national movement of the same nature iu the second tableau, the latter serving as a sort of grand finale. There was, as al- ready stated, great applause bestowed upon the dancers as well as upon the ballet; and that the applause was well deserved, ife will suffico to say the latter was produced by M Massot, the music composed by M. Nadaud, the scenery painted by Mr Marshall, and the costumes, which were " rich and rare," and in excellent taste, were by Madame Copere. The ballot of Acalista wasi therefore, entirely successful.— On Monday Mrs Anderson's concert took place at the theatre. As last year, Mrs Anderson again secured the valuable services of the strong and effective corps of her Majesty's Theatre, by which means an ensemble in every respect of the highest reputation was brought together, inasmuch as not only were the names of Mdlles Piccolomini, Spezia, Ortolani, aud Madame Alboni, in- troduced into the scheme, together with all the male artistes of Mr Lumley's troupe, but Madame Clara Novelloaud Mr Charles Braham lent their aid as vocalists ; whilst Signor Bazzani, the violinist, supplied the place of M Remenyi, who had been sud- denly summoned to Paris on urgent business. The selection embraced most of the best specimens of Italian opera, which were given with considerable precision, although as a matter of course Mdlle Picceiomini and Signor Giugliiii were the two most attractive stars. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.— Instead of one " Traviata," we have now got two. The fair one of Her Majesty's Theatre has found a rival at the Lyceum, and the favour of the town seems to be pretty equally divided between them. Whatever judg- ment may be formed by critics of the intrinsic merit of Verdi's latest production, there can be no doubt of its possessing in au extraordinary degree the elements of popularity; lor this is sufficiently shown by the circumstance of its being, at one and the same time, the priucipal attraction of both our Italian theatres. Madame Bosio . had created an immense sensation in this opera during last season at St Petersburg; ancl Mr Gye naturally lost no time iu availing himself of her arrival to pro- duce it. 11 was performed en Saturday week, and repeated on Tues- day night, with the most brilliant success; and no doubt it will continue to " run," side by side with the " Traviata" of the other house, for the rest of the season. Comparisons are pro- verbially odious, and we shall not, therefore, make any compari- son between the rival performances. Eo.- io is as charming a representative of the heroine as any one could wish to see or hear. In ail the bloom and freshness of youth, elegant, graceful, and refined, she is the very idial of a character which, in real life, could not exist, but which is certainly interesting as well as captivating on the stage. As an actress, this delightful per- former has probably never appeared to greater advantage. In the early scenes her gaiety is polished and delicate— so subdued, indeed, as to have something of coidness when contrasted with the situation. But in the scenes of sorrow and suffering, which the poor girl lias to go through, she acts not only witu sleep feeling, but with the force and passion of a tragedian, which, generally speaking, Bosio is not. As to her singing, it is above all praise. By the charms of her most lovely voice, by the exquisite finish with which every vocal phrase is uttered, by the melting sweetness of her cadences, and the consummate taste and endless variety of her brilliant fioriture and ornaments— she clothes Verdi's pretty but meagre melodies with beauties to which he often has very little claim'.' The opera, moreover, owes much of its success at this house to the magnifi- cent acting aud singing of Maris, who has seldom exerted him- self more felicitously; and likewise to the very fine performance of Graziani in tbe character of the old man, the lather of Alfredo. The opera in its ensemble is admirably got up; the decorations ire rich and elegant, and the scenic effects beautiful. The ball- room scene in the second act, notwithstanding the smallness of the stage, is a gay and brilliant spectacle which would have done honour to the spacious boards of Covent- garden. DRURY- LANE THEATRE.— This theatre has been let for the summer seasou for the performances of Miss Ella's equestrian troupe. Besides the talented directress, the troupe numbers amongst its principals artistes of the first fame as equestrians, gymnasts, and drolls, from the most popular American and con- tineiitsl cirques. For tiiei;- temporary reception ii has been found necessary to board over the pit so as to bring it level with the stage, the ring extending half up the stage from the pro- scenium, and half into the audience portion of the house. The performances on Saturday were initiated by Miss Newsome and Master Molfatt, iu a double act of horsemanship, which was much applauded. This was succeeded by the performances of M Delevanti and his two sons, which are something of the nature of the feats of the Risleys, but still more marvellous aud pleasing. Tho audience applauded t'uem vehemently. A variety of equestrian feats aud comicalities lead to Miss Ella's " Great Balloon Act," in which she leaps backward and forward through numerous hoops covered with paper, and over ever so many extended cloths, in her circuit of the ring on horseback. This feat was executed with the utmost ease, grace, and certainty, and the applause was immense. We cannot enumerate the re- maining performances, which are all creditable in their way, and the whole entertainment seemed to give much satisfaction, especially to the juvenile portion of the spectators. ASTLEY'S THBATEE,- The popular opera " II Trovatore" has been pressed into his service by the inventive and enterprising lessee. We believe it could have entered the imagination of no one but Mr VV. Cooke to produce opera on horseback, aud we should have been the more struck with the originality of the idea had we not remembered his previous exhibition of tragedy in the same exalted position. The attempt, however, proved perfectly successful, and the singing of Miss Rebecca Isaacs, Miss Hud dart, and Mr Augustus Braham, aided by the curvetting of the horses and the brilliancy of the appointments, drew down the vociferous applause of the audience. FEIGHTEUL ACCIDENT AT CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.- On Satur- day afternoon week, between two and three o'clock, as tho Blue- coat boys of Christ's Hospital, Newgate- street, were engaged in their usual sports, two of their number attempted the dangerous but frequently accomplished feat of scaling the wall of the playground which abuts upon Giltspur- street. One of them descended in perfect safety; but the other, a fine youth of about sixteen, evidently ignorant that a line of pointed iron rails at- tached to the premises of Mr Gilruth, baker, were beneath him, dropped upon the spikes, where he was impaled for several minutes until his affrighted companion gave the alarm, when he was extricated from his horrible position, and the best sur- gical aid was promptly on the spot. The poor boy, whose name is Bulkeley, is doing as well as can be expected. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths registered in the week ending May 16 were 1,050, of which 514 were males and 536 females. The number is 100 less than the average. Diseases of the respiratory organs carried off 202 persons, of whom 102 died from bronchitis. Typhus destroyed 39, hooping cough 51, scarlatina 14, smallpox 2. The births were 873 boys and 809 girls ; total 1,682. FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOAED THE WAVEELEY STEAMER,— — On Wednesday an accident took place on board the Citizen Company's steamboat Waverley, by which a fine young man, aged 20, one of the crew of the steamer, suddenly lost his life. It appears that about half- past 12 p. m., thG Waverley arrived at London Bridge. Shortly after landing the passengers, the deceased was kneeling on one of the paddle- boxes, giving direc tions to some one below, when the Waverley received a slight concussion from an in- coming steamer, and the shock threw the youth off the paddle- box into the river. The accident occurred so suddenly that no assistance was rendered, at least in time, and the deceased was not seen to reappear above the water. It is supposed that the tide carried him rapidly below bridge, as the body was not discovered, although the drags were used as soon as possible after the accident had occurred. THE DIET OF CONSUMPTIVE PATIENTS.— Dr Richardson in an able article in the " Journal of Public Health," observes that " the diet of consumptive patients should be ample. Animal food is an absolute necessity; fatty and oily foods should predominate. Cod liver oil, though used as a medicine, is essen- tially a food, aud in small doses, often repeated, its value is, to my mind, unmistakeable," The entire article is well worth perusal, but there is one omission. Dr Richardson does not duly caution his readers against the use of spurious kinds of cod liver oil, which sicken the stomach without doing any good. The most eminent medical men at home and abroad are of opinion that Dr de Jongh's Light- Brown Cod Liver Oil is not only the best and purest, but the only kind which can uniformly be relied upon, and which does not, like the pale oil, produce nausea, in- digestion, and bilious derangement. Dr Radelyffe Hall, the eminent physician to the Torquay Hospital for Consumption, observes, " I have found Dr de Jongh's Cod Liver Oil to agree better with the digestive organs, especially in those patients who consider themselves to be bilious. It is more palatable than the other kinds of cod liver oil; it is stronger, and consequently a smaller dose is sufficient." Dr Edgar Sheppard remarks, " It has the rare excellence of being well borne and assimilated by stomachs which reject the ordinary oils." Dr de Jongh's Oil is owly sold in imperial half- pints, 2s. 6d.; pints, 4s. 9d.; and quarts, 9s., 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 substitu- tions of other kinds of cod liver oil should be strenuously resisted, as they proceed from interested motives, and will result in disappointment to the purchaser. '( THE LICENSED VICTUALLEUS' ASYLUM,— The twenty- ninth anniversary of this admirable institution was celebrated ou Wed- nesday evening at Highbury Barn Tavern, with an unusual degree of eclat. The festival was attended by not only a nume- rous body of the trade, amongst whom were some of" the most influential members, who take a deep interest in its success, but by several members of Parliament, aud other gentlemen of high social position, whose presence gave to the gathering a signi- ficance and importance that cannot be too highly appreciated. Although the object for which the, Licensed Victuallers' Asylum has been founded is pretty generally known, it may not be un- interesting on the present occasion to state a few facts in con- nection with its foundation, to illustrate its real value and im- portance, Some years ago, it was found, notwithstanding the advantages derived by decayed members of the trade through the medium of the incorporated society, that there still needed to ba established tn asylum where aged and infirm members might finei a refuge where they might pass the evening of life in respectable retirement. It was thereupon determined to erect such an asylum, and accordingly, with the prompt philan- thropic spirit which marks the movements of the licensed victuallers of the metropolis, the present institution was founded iu 1327. The first stone was laid in May, 1828, by his royal highness the late Duke of Sussex, and in a short time after- wards 101 separate habitations were erected, which afforded social accommodation to members of the trade, who were at the time elected on the foundation. In subsequent years, the num- ber of the habitations was increased. In 1849, the first stone of sixteen additional houses, styled the " Ladies' Wiag," was laid by Prince Albert, the patron of tbe asylum, and iu 1830 seven more houses were added to the " Ladies' Wing," thus increasing the habitations to 126 separate houses, in which are located 140 aged decayed members and their wives, who receive not only weekly allowances in money and coals, but who have also the benefit of medical attendance and medicine, and other advan- tages of a like description. The recent erection of a chapel on the grounds of the asylum is also a feature well deserving of notice, as it enables the inmates of the asylum to participate in the blessings derivable from the ministrations of the excellent chaplain, the Rev W. G. Martin, whose labours are much esteemed by those in whose behalf his exertions are called into requisition. At the dinner, Mr M. Bass, M. P., presided. After the usual toasts, Mr Jones, the secretary, read the list of subscriptions, which amounted to £ 3,565, being the largest amount ever col- lected. COCKFIGHTING IN SHREWSBURY.— We learn from the Shrews- bury Chronicle that for some years past it has been the custom in Shrewsbury for cocklighting to take place during the race week, and that this year some of the inhabitants being deter- mined to put a stop to the sport, solicited the help of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who at once obeyed the call by sending their superintendent, Mr Wemyss, accompa- nied by an active detective officer, to Shrewsbury. The cockpit was bemud the Lion and Pheasant Inu, in two rooms of which not less than 200 birds had been brought together, and Love, who attended for the purpose of triving evidence, described the scene at the cockpit as most shocking. When he went to it there were between one and two hundred persons present, each of whom paid 5s on entrance, and a great deal of money changad hands in the pit. On Wednesday the inn was surrounded by fourteen of the borough police, and five of the most active parti- cipators in the brutal sport were secured before tkey had time to escape. The men who were apprehended gave their addresses, Hugh Cobden. publican, Hareacre; James Haaley, locksmith, Wednesfield; Henry Booth, weaver, Ashtoti- under- Lyne; Joseph Page, butcher, Wolverhampton ; and Benjamin Pearson, malt- mill maker, Wolverhampton. They were taken befo; e the mayor and a full bench of magistrates at four o'clock the same day. Mr Benjamin Duubar Wemyss appeared on behalf of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ; aud Mr G. Gordon defended the whole of the defendants. Mr Gordon said, after carefully considering the case, the only advice he could give the defendants was that they should severally plead guilty. He had not a word to say against the way iu which the case had been got up by this very useful society through their respected agent. The defendants were fined 50s each and costs. Half of the penalty, to which the society were entitled, was given to the poor- box oi the court. ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS.— The following gentlemen, having passed their examination before the Board of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, have received their diplomas, and been admitted members of the college:— Augustus Bowles, Abergavenny; Edward Hards Eldred, Seven Oaks, Kent; John Eili'-. Liverpool; Walker Watson, Lawbridge House, near Rugby; Walter Burt, Brighton; Henry Lawson Holt, North- allerton, Yorkshire ; Charles Gray, Rothweli, Northamptonshire; Frederick K. B.

FIRE AT THE LATCHMOBE DISTILLERY, BATTERBEA FIELDS. — On Wednesday morning, between tbe hours of live and six o'clock, afire broke out oi> the extensive premises of Mr Tkomas R. Denny, known as the Latehctore Distillery, Battersea Fields. The disaster was caused bv tho glass gauge bursting iu the still- house. The liquor instantaneously caught fire, and the flames shot forth in every direction. An alarm was immediately raised, when messengers were despatched for the various fire- engines; in the meantime the men were employed in drawing off the spirit from the various stills. In spite, however, of all their exertions, other parts of the building took fire, aud the flames soon burst through the roof, shooting up to a tremendous height. Water was immediately obtained from the Southward mains. Mr Superintendent Braid wood and Mr Richard Hen- derson, the district foreman of the brigade, set the engines to work in first- rate style. The firemen at length succeeded ill getting mastery over the fire, but not until the still- house and brewhouse were destroyed, and other buildings considerably damaged. Mr Denny is insured. DEATH OF MES. WAKLEY.— We regret to state that Mrs Wakley, the wife of T. Wakley, Esq, coroner for Middlesex, expired on Tuesday morning about eight o'clock, Mr Wakley had not been attending his professional duties, in consequence of her indisposition, for several days. Mrs Wakley died at Brighton. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MAY 24, 1857. SPOUTING CHKONICLE. [ TOWN EDITION.] THE T U E F. BETTING AT TATTERS ALL'S- MONDAY, MAT 18.— Owing to the departure of many of the subscribers to Bath, the Room was indifferently attended, but the business transacted was remarkable for some important changes amongst the favourites for the Derby, such as annually occur on the eve of that all- important event. Compared with the quotations of the last meeting day here, the changes that presented themselves were the advance of Arsenal, Tournament, and Lady Hawthorn, and the decline of Saunterer, Bird m the Hand, Adamas, and Sydney. At the close of the previous week as little as 7 to 1 was taken about Saunterer, and he obtained the call of Lord Zetland's horse; but in consequence of a report that he had gone amiss, the new favourite speedily gave way, and to- day after 16, 18, and 20 to 1 had been taken about him in small sums amounting in the aggregate to about £ 200, live points more were offered. Bird in the Hand's reign was a very short and by no means a " merry one" for those who " jumped on" so eagerly on the previous Thursday, since which day he gradually went back in the market, and became a worse favourite the oftener he was seen at Leatherhead. After being supported for trilling amounts at 20 and 25 to 1 this afternoon, the layers extended their offers to 30 to 1 at the close. Sydney was extremely " fishy," aud at one time 30 to 1 was laid against Adamas, about whom all sorts of rumours were afloat- one to the effect that he was sold, another that he had run against a post and lamed himself in the shoulder, and another that he had been tried at three o'clock one morning and found wanting" with Saraband and M. D., who were vanned in the dead of the night direct to the Downs, and back a^ ain before even those wide awake gentry the " touts" were abroad! But for none of these " camp shaves" was there the slightest founda- tion, the nearest approach to the truth of either story being'the fact of his owner refusing £ 2,000 for the horse. On the retire- mentof Saunterer Arsenal became second favourite, but the outlav this afternoon both upon him and Anton ( who stood his ground with great firmness) was by no means extensive. The " lion" of the day was Tournament, who ( tried suc- cessfully in the morning) advanced to 10 to 1 in the City, where the investments were little short of a thousand pounds. He failed to maintain that price at " the Corner," however, and after 12 to 1 had been taken to fully £ 700, the offers against him increased point by point until they reached 16 to 1, when a re- action set in, and he speedily returned to his original ouotation, and at the close of the Room 11 to 1 was scarcely obtainable. A good deal of money, we are informed, was invested on M. D. at the Turf Club in the morning at 13 tol, but he likewise became a " little worse" at " the Corner until one of his staunchest supporters stepped in and brought him back from 15 to 1 to 100 to 8, The Sprig, who, like Saunterer, had exhibited symptoms of decline at the close of the previous week, rallied a little, and in the course of the afternoon rose from 14 to 1 to 1,000 to 80 ( taken). There were a great many inquiries in good quarters after Lady Hawthorn ( who had been examined by Mr Field in the course ef the day, and pronounced as sound as any animal alive), and 1,000 to 55, besides many other bets at the same ratio, was booked four times. Newton- le- Willows was backed to win fifteen or sixteen thousand pounds at 1,000 to 4 and 1,000 to 5, 6,000 to 30 being laid in one bet; 6 to 5 would have been taken between six and the field. We had almost omitted all mention of Skirmisher, against whom seven " mon- keys" or any part thereof was offered ; his friends stuck out for another point, but it was not obtainable, and we are not aware of a single transaction upon the favourite during the afternoon, beyond two bets of 1,200 to 800 and 500 to 400 between him and Arsenal. The Oaks betting is only noticeable for the decline of Moestissima, against whom 20 to 1 was laid in the City, and offered here, after one or two parties, ignorant of there being a " screw loose," had taken ten fifties and eight fifties about her. Closing prices :— DERBY. 25 to 1 agst Saunterer ( off) 7 to 9 to 10 to 11 to 1 agst Skirmisher( off) 1 Arsenal( tk& off) 1 1 100 to 100 to 1000 to 55 20 to 1 20 to 1 30 to 1 the Bird Hand Wardermarske Blink Bonny Glenmasson ( t) Lambourne( tk) Newton- le- Willows ( tk) Pyrrhus the Second ( tk) 200 on Anton agst Lady Haw- thorn and Wardermarske. 30 to 1 40 to 1 1000 to 25 1000 to 15 1000 to 5 1000 to 15 Anton ( tk& off) Tournament ( tk freely) M.

Skirmisher was remarkably firm, and after one bet of 650 to 100 he was backed at 6 to 1 for several hundred pounds, 1,800 to 300 being in one bet. It was soon evident Arsenal had passed a " bad night," and after 9 to 1 had been laid to about £ 150, and 450 to 100 twice against him and Anton coupled, the layers gradually extended their offers, and at the close 11 to 1 went begging. The latest quotation was 10 to 1 " bar one," aud at this price Anton, Tournament, and M. D. were supported in good quarters, though in the early part of the afternoon three points more were offered against each of the latter pair. The most inexplicable feature, however, was the movement in connection with Mr Jackson's two horses, Saunterer and Sprig of Shillelagh, the former of whom " came again" in the City during the morning, advanced, upon a very moderate outlay, to 12 to 1 at " the Corner," and was likewise backed for a " monkey" against Arsenal; whilst, after1,500 to 100 had been taken once about " The Sprig," who was in such strong force at Bath the day before, he left off apparently friendless.

Lady Hawthorn, Strathnaver, and Wardermarske were also in good odour. 10 to 1 was the highest offer against Saunterer, whose owner backed him for £ 100 each agst Tournament, Anton, and Arse- nal, " one, two, three." 400 to 50 was taken about Saunterer and The Sprig of Shillelagh coupled, and an offer was made to back the two against each of any three for a couple of thousand.

SIR : The Epsom week which we are about to go through abates not a jot of that interest which it has ever maintained in the public mind. The Derby and Oaks are now " household words," and, although the sweeps and betting lists have been swept away, still the ingenuity of the real sportsman to " get on his money" will overcome all Acts of Parliament. On the whole, the prospects of the meeting at Epsom are of the most encou- raging description, as the Derby field promises to be of unusual strength, and there are sufficient fillies in training for the Oaks to give hopes to the bookmakers of being able to make up their volumes in a satisfactory manner. A further preface, with such a task, Sir, as that before me, is out of the question, and I shall, therefore, plunge at once in me- dias res, and endeavour to lift the veil that hangs over the Epsom programme. Half a dozen races comprise the card of TUESDAY, commencing with the Craven Stakes, which has yet to close. The Woodccte, the second on the list, has thirty- six nomina- tions, which ought to ensure the presence of many youngsters at the post; aud Punster and Volatore, I conceive, are the only formidable opponents Polly Peachum ( free from any penalty) has to fear. The Rous Stakes has evidently not been as popular as many handicaps from the same experienced hands, as, out of near a hundred subscriptions, only fourteen have accepted. The win- ner, I have an idea, will be found in Peeping Tom or The Vigil. The Plates I will not pretend to offer an opinion upon, for reasons which will readily suggest themselves to your readers. WEDNESDAY requires no elaborate painting of its importance at my hands, as the first Legislative Assembly in the world recognises the claims of the Derby, and adjourns its sittings to " assist" at its celebration. The Derby of the present year closed originally with two hundred and nine subscriptions, of which those of Mr Andrew Johnstone arc void by his death, thereby reducing the number to two hundred and two. Of the original nominations the following have at one time or another figured in the returns of the betting at " the Corner," so that those who have worked their " volumes" legitimately, ought not to complain of being unable to get round:— Ackworth, Adamas, Anton, Arsenal, Athlete, Bel Oiseau, Bird in the Hand, Blink Bonny, Blue Jacket, Chevalier d'Industrie, Colonist, Co. median, Commoner, Commotion, Comquot, Elcot's dam colt, Euxine, Fast Day, Gaberlunzie, Glede Hawk, Glenmasson, Goldfinch, Hamlet, Henry VIII., Kent, King of the Forest, Lady Hawthorn, Laird Duff ( disqualified), Lambourne, Lans- down, Lord of the Hills ( disqualified), Loyola, Magnifier, M. D., Matins, Messenger, Newton le Willows, Oakball, Pyrrhus the Second, Roundhead, Saunterer, Schiedam, Sharpshooter ( dead), Sir Colin, Special Licence, Sprig of Shillelagh, Strathnaver, colt by Surplice out of Beeswax, colt by Surplice out of Blue Devils, Sweet William, Sydney, Tournament, Turbit, Victor, Wardermarske, Western Power, Zouave, Zuyder Zee, & c. To make out the actual starters is, at the present moment, rather difficult, as there is generally an alteration at the last moment in the arrangements of the great stables ; but the fol- lowing list will, I hope, rival " Dorling's correct card" in its information :— Arsenal Anton Adamas Black Tommy Blink Bonny Bird in the Hand Commotion Comedian Cura^ oa Glenmasson C by Hernandez out of Phy- salis King of the Forest Lady Hawthorn Lambourne Loyola Magnifier M. D. Newton le Willows Oakball Old English Gentleman Pyrrhus the Second Saunterer Sir Colin Special Licence Star of Albion Strathnaver C by Surpliceout of Beeswax Sydney Sweet William Tournament Turbit Wardermarske Zuyder Zee And upon their respective chances I have now to submit to you, Sir, the following observations, the calm result of ex- perience, untinged by prejudice. Arsenal came out at Salisbury last year, and, unset and un- prepared, beat Tricolour, a mare thought very highly of at the time by the Woodyates stable, in very easy style. He subse- quently " performed" somewhat ingloriouslyat Brighton and Egham; and so lightly was his first victory regarded that he went to the extresae outside division for this race, Goldfinch and Schiedam being all the rage both with the public and their owner. Time goes on, however, and Arsenal begins to be " fitted out ;" large sums are voted on his behalf, and a trial with the Chevalier d'Industrie proved that the Salisbury form was intact— hence his present position. In appearance he has everything to recommend him for a Derby horse; but Mr Howard, it must be borne in mind, has a " second string to his bow" in M. D,, who within the last eight- and- forty hours has been in better odour in the market than Arsenal. The blood of the latter is unexceptionable, but I question if Findon will see its representative in so forward a position as Yellow Jack occupied in last year's race. Anton is one of the neatest horses in the Derby, but lacks the size and substance of his great brother, Andover. Last year he was out four times, and successful only in hi3 Match with the Barba colt. These defeats I am disposed to care nothing about, as it was stated that had his trainer's wishes been con- sulted, he would not hare been pulled out at all. But in the Two Thousand we saw him without the slightest alloy, with a vast amount of stable money on him, beaten very cleverly by V6dette; and although it is maintained there was no pace, a reference to y ® ur returns will show that there was only three seconds difference between the time of the present and West Australian's year; and if under these circumstances Anton could get only a head before Loyola, how is he to be made good enough to win the Derby? His form at home is stated to be ten pounds better than Ayacanora, but even that, coupled with the ability that will be displayed both in the preparation and riding of him, cannot, I doubt, quite carry off the Derby, although it may give him a forward position in the race> and enable his plucky owner to laud the heavy bets he has laid about his being one of the first three. Adamas has worked his way into his present position sheerly by the force of his own merits, as " cast- offs" from great stables when they improve, are invariably sneered down. Last year this colt ran repeatedly in the best of company, with scarcely any preparation ; and at Doncaster he beat Skirmisher, for whom not the slightest excuse was attempted to be made, by two lengths ; Gemma di Vergy, with 41b extra, and Loyola, the Clearwell winner, being also behind him. At Chester his per- formance was equally respectable, for when running with Saunterer at 71b, after two diappointments he was beaten only a short neck. This year, after having been " off" and stopped in his preparation for Northampton, lie ran a good fourth to St Giles and Skirmisher in the Stakes there, and when " cough- ing his heart out," and otherwise suffering, he carried off The City and Suburban from Wardermarske, Sfc Giles, and a large field; and within an hour afterwards came out again and lost the Metropolitan by a head only from Poodle— the latter proving at Newmarket subsequently that he was iu good form. Since then I have reason to believe no horse has done stronger work, or improved more upon it, and being trained on the spot, there can be no mystery about his, condition. These are circumstances which I cannot conceal from myself would> in a more influential stable, have made him first favourite; but he, nevertheless, maintains his ground with great firmness, and if any of the great establishments has a better performer than Adamas the world has yet to be made acquainted with the fact. Of one thing his backers and the public may rest assured — he will " run for the money," and not bo pulled out of the way to serve any party, however formidable. Bird in the Hand revived the hopes of the backers of" Scott's lot," last week, after a rough gallop before leaving Malton, and the rush to " get out" on the part of those who had taken liberties with him, brought the horse to a price which could only have been considered fictitious. That The Bird is a race horse, I have every reason to believe, but I doubt that " the Wizard" will be able to prepare him as he would like to do; consequently the black jacket of Mr Bowes will not, I think, be so conspicuous as in the years of Mundig, Cotherstone, Daniel O'Rourke, and West Australian. Blink Bonny was the best two year old we saw last year, and had apparently only to keep to her form, with her 51b allowance, to secure the " Blue Riband." Her miserable exhibition, how- ever, this year, in the One Thousand, for which the habituSs at" the Corner" must have been prepared after the liberties taken with the mare during the winter months, and for which no apology has been offered, must have entirely dissipated the idea of her turning out a second Eleanor; and, although she may run better from a milder preparation, her Derby fate, in my humble judgment, is sealed, aud I shall not be surprised to find her reserved for the Oaks, and the interest of the stable represented in the Derby by Strathnaver, who has recently coma rather prominently into notice again. Comedian has only good looks to recommend him, and al- though he has been now and then in the " price current" from Tattersall's, the part he is likely to play is too light for me to consider him more than a supernumerary. Commotion will not make such a commotion in the Ring as he did at Chester, and as he was behind Wardermarske in the Dee I think ke will occupy the same position at Epsom. Glenmasson is one of the handsomest horses in the Derby, but substance and propelling power are what he stands much in need of, and as these his trainer cannot endow him with, Glen- masson's triumphs, I am of opinion, will be confined to the " measured miles" of Newmarket, Stockbridge, and Goodwood. King of the Forest is a certain starter, and will probably " beat more than beat him," as the saying goes. Lady Hawthorn is one of the most puzzling animals I have to deal with. Out but once last year, at York, when she cut down Blink Bonny, this magnificent mare has been up and down in the market in a manner that must naturally cause considerable uneasiness to her backers. Her make aud shape are unim- peachable, and the rumours respecting her " making a noise " have been officially contradicted by the certificate of Mr Field. It is stated that her trainer, who is seldom far wrong when in earnest, makes her out to be five or six pounds better than Gemma di Vergy; but as Lord John Scott, I believe, will no* have her regularly tried, she will run upon her merits, and must take her chance, which, judging from the character of those animals behind her at York, must be considered very formidable, although it should at the same time be remembered that she received weight from ail of them, aud has been most unceremoniously knocked about in the market, but for which latter circumstance I should prefer her chance to anything in the race. Lambourne was a fair performer last year, but unfortunate in always getting second instead of first. We saw him on Tuesday last in good form ; aud in deep ground Lambourne would have as fair an outside chance as any one of that class I could name. Magnifier, Saunterer, Wardermarske, aud Sprig of Shillelagh are so clearly identified with one interest that I shall deal with them collectively instead of individually. Magnifier's per- formances in an unprepared state last spring were far above the average, being within a head of Saunterer at Doncaster, and before Blink Bonny at, York. Since then we heard little of him until Doncaster, when some " long shots" were laid against the horse by his owner, who subsequently, however, took a large bet or two back about him with " Bullock up." A short time since he evinced symptoms of " coming," but, after advancing to 20 to 1, returned to the extreme outside division again, where he at present remains. Saunterer was out eighteen times last year, doing some very good things at times, but, like Magnifier was laid against to such an extent that it seemed impossible the money could be got back. All doubts upon the matter, however, seemed to be removed a fortnight ago, when the horse " came with a rattle" in the market, and iu less than eight- and- forty hours rose step by step until he became first favourite; but his retention of that distinction was of slidrt uaTtoiCH, C^ ng tC his going amiss, which will account for his recent decline in the betting. But he has since taken up a position amongst the favourites in the front rank, yet I cannot but feel prejudiced against a horse that had so much steel taken out of him as a two year old, and should prefer one about whom very different tactics have been observed. I allude to Wardermarske, Ellington's half- brother, and one of the earliest horses backed for this race. Last year he ran with Lady Hawthorn at York, and got as far as his condition would allow, and the same may be said of him at Doncaster. This year, at Epsom, however, he came out in earnest for the City aud Suburban, and although beaten therein by Adamas, I am convinced, from what occurred at the time, that the stable thought they had a real good horse. His Dee chance was jeopardized— if not altogether extinguished— by the loose Glede Hawk, and let him only keep as well as he is at the present moment, I have little doubt he will be the prop upon which the Tupgill stable will rely. The Sprig of Shillelagh has been the steadiest of Mr Jackson's lot in the market, and has ever been a great favourite with the public, who, bearing in mind the circumstances which attended his debut at Chester last year, also point, in justification of their partiality, to the horse's subsequent performance when in an unprepared state, with Ignoramus and Saunterer, at the York August meeting. Still, I am not one of " The Sprig's" ardent admirers, though I fully expect him a rattling favourite on or before the day. Loyola, of whom such great hopes were entertained after his Clearwell race, has, I fear, given too convincing proof of his inability to get over a mile. Surplice has not got anything to " stay" over a distance of ground, and those who fancied Loyola to be an exception, must now, I think, admit their error. M. D. ran repeatedly last year, but like other horses of Mr Parr's, he appeared none the worse for it, and at the " back end," when he beat Augury so easily, and won the First Class of the Nursery in a canter, he was only just getting into form. Throughout the winter and spring he has been carefully pre- pared for this event, and with Apathy and Fisherman for school- masters, and Saraband for a trial horse, no mistake is likely to have been made with him. That he has been a little shifty in the market I must admit, but that is not surprising owing to the other powerful string to his bow, which Mr Howard ( the real owner of M. D.) possesses in Arsenal; and although objections have been taken to his supposed want of speed I am of opinion that the idea is only imaginary, for no slow horse could have done with Saraband what is attributed to M. D. I shall be quite prepared to see him justify his title to an honorary certificate. Newton- le- Willows won three times out of the seven he was stripped in Ireland, and at Newmarket in the First Spring was successful in a race across the Flat, after having been twice beaten, but in such company as not to advance his chance either in my estimation or that of the public. Oakball has a " bit of form" about him from having run Gemma di Vergy to a neck at Worcester last year, and beaten Companion and The Dupe at Shrewsbury, but this is not quality enough for Epsom. Pyrrhus the Second is said to be a remarkable fine specimen of the Pyrrhus stock, but beyond the fact of his belonging to a fine old English sportsman, and that he has been backed at long shots at intervals in the market, I have nothing more to com- municate to your readers respecting him. Strathnaver, even when Blink Bonny reigned supreme in the market, was by many regarded as the real Simon Pure of I'Anson's stable. He is a very clever horse, and when he ran second to Augury at York, the latter was in form, and Tourna- ment had to " put his best leg foremost" to beat him at a mile in the Eglinton Stakes at Doncaster. The Dee, although a good performance to. the public eye, must not be regarded as the real form of Strathnaver and Wardersmarke, and I am doubtful that the latter would have won but for the disappointment Ald- croft met with from the loose horse, which, after falling with John Osborne, joined in the raoe. Strathnaver, however, has recently been in force again, which would lead to the idea that his stable have lost all hope of getting through with the mare. The colt by Surplice out of Beeswax was backed even when Loyola was all the rage; and although he struck me at New- market as capable of being made into a race horse, and is stated to be much better than Loyola at a distance, it would, according to my calculations, take more time than has been at the dis- posal of Isaac Day since the Two Thousand to " finish" him into a Derby winner. Sydney I hardly know how to treat, as he was betted against for the Two Thousand as if dead ; aud immediately after that race, in which he ran forward at the finish, was supported for the Derby by the very people who " potted" him! His best performances I consider were his beating Anton and Drumour in the Prendergast and Criterion ; and if the Danebury horse is so good at home that they consider he ought to have won the Two Thousand then Sydney should have a great chance at Epsom. His temper it is useless to conceal was one of the very worst description last year, and although he ran kind enough in the Two Thousand it is not improbable he may have a return of it here, and upset the calculations of his backers at the last moment. We have likewise to learn that he will like distance better than Loyola or other Surplices; and to David Hughes I believe will be confided the experiment of making Sydney a better horse than his late jockey has shown him to be. Tournament is a low, but lengthy and very beautifully pro portioned horse, and has lately taken his proper position in the market, to the great relief of his last year's backers, who thought their money gone. His party is not a strong one, but he is fancied by the public and all good judges who remember the style in which he won his races last year, beating some of the best two year olds out,— Gemma di Vergy, Commotion, Lord Nelson, Adamas, and others to wit. In fact, after Blink Bonny, perhaps, the two year old performances of Tournament are the " best in the book," and as the money tells us he is fancied at home, he is certain to be very " forward " on Wednesday next. Skirmisher was pronounced before he came out to be the best two year old in Yorkshire, and whether Hospodar deceived Abdale, or the horse's temper stood in his way, I will not pre- tend to say, but neither Job Marssn nor Mr Thompson could make him run up to the form he exhibited in private. At Good- wood he mended a little, and got third in the Nursery with a weight on him that showed the handicapper had heard what he could do at Aske. At York he was out on two occasions, get- ting fourth to Augury in the North of England Biennial, and in the Gimcrack, over a mile, he beat her and M. D. in return, finishing a good second to Blink Bonny. At Doncaster he showed the most savage temper in the Fitzwilliam, but in the Two Year Old Stakes, two days afterwards, with " Job" up, he exhibited no such symptoms, and was beaten " fair and square" by Blink Bonny and Adamas, the latter of whom, as already stated, was literally " fresh from grass." At Stockton, when re- ceiving 6lb, Skirmisher was squeezed in a head before Riseber. This year we saw him second for the Northamptonshire Stakes to St Giles, who has run badly since, and first for the Great Northern, and Spring St Leger ( wherein he gave Wardermarske 8lb and beat him cleverly, after a slow run race), so that we know he can stay. In any race Skirmisher would command attention; and in the Derby, where there is so much tough work at the commencement, no horse looks better made to en- counter it; and should the ground be deep, the " flashy sort" are certain to give way to him. But the question of most im- portance that occurs to me is, that if Adamas, totally unpre- pared, beat him when in his prime, why should he not do so again? And allowances must be made for improvement in each animal. It is reported that his clever amateur jockey will again ride him in the Derby. Zuyder Zee has been out but twice in public, viz, in the July, when, atter a short preparation and showing temper, he was beaten three quarters of a length by Drumour, finishing a length or so before Lambourne and Anton. This form, from what we saw of Drumour at Chester, is more than respectable, and he did not diminish it when at Goodwood he was only beaten a neck by Ayacanora. Zuyder Zee, I have reason to be- lieve, is as well as a horse can be, and Fobert, who has been slaving at him for months, fancies that once more he will take home a Derby winner to Spigot Lodge. At Danebury, however, they must have his length for Anton, and I cannot flatter the Zuyder Zees that he will inherit the honour of his half brothers Van Tromp and The Flying Dutchman. Turbit, of course, runs for Lord Erfeter, and I cordially wish the blue and white stripes were more likely to be seen in the van. Dusty Miller, who chopped down the " Sprig" at Liverpool last year when the latter was out of all form, may swell the field and so increase the winner's stake, but I cannot believe he will be the recipient of it. The remainder, who are mentioned as likely to go to the post- require very few remarks from me. Sweet William in the win. ter made many of the Epsomites " sweet" upon him, but, judg- ing from the market, he is not so popular with them now. Cura^ oa is not what is generally met with on a Derby Day ; and Special Licence, although exhibiting some form at Chester, is hardly worth " taking out" for this special occasion. The Elcot's dam colt comes of a family that can stay in dirt, and Northampton told us he had a little form about him. His two half brothers, Hotspur and Marlborough Buck, distinguished themselves by running second to The Flying Dutchman and I'eddiBgton, two of the best horses that ever won the Derby, and it remains to be seen whether the " Blue Riband" is destined to adorn a " cocktail." The Old English Gentleman is a name one likes to see con. nected with the Derby, but for what purpose the fifty pounds is put down for him except in the shape of a gratuity to the winner I have no means of knowing. Black Tommy must perform more satisfactorily than his Grey- headed brother to have a chance; and the Physalis colt's form is known to be far below that of a Derby winner. Sir Colin will of course play a subordinate part to M. D.; and The Star of Albion is not likely, in my opinion,) to shine as the winner. I have now, Sir, to the best of my ability, put each horse through the ordeal of a fair and impartial criticism. When entitled to credit for their victories, it has been dealt out with no sparing hand ; and at the same time I have been qualified Jn my approbation where I could not conscientiously bestow it. By public running I have been chiefly guided in my selec- tion, and if I err I am satisfied your readers will excuse the cause- The market, when these observations are compelled to be made public, is not yet closed ; if such were the case, they might be modified, and perhaps wholly changed. But I must come to a conclusion now, and, with every confidence in the correctness of my views, and the soundness of my calculations, shall select a lot of six— the number given at " the Corner"— to beat the field, viz, Skirmisher, Adamas, M. D., Lady Hawthorn, Tour- nament, and Anton. Of this lot I have a strong predilection for Adam^ w. jf anything in the race is found superior to him, it will be M. D. THURSDAY offers quite as much racing as is wanted on a bye. day, and will not suffer, as it did lest year, from the celebration of the peace rejoicings. The Two Year Old Stakes is the chief feature of the afternoon, and though the issue may be affected by the running in the Woodcote, Princess Royal and Windham are names that strike me as being very likely t « come under the notice of the " man in the box." The Grand Stand Handicap, and other races of a similar character, it is also early to speak about. In the Four Year Old Stake, I should consider Fazzoletto would encounter no active opposition. FRIDAY.— The interest in the Oaks is gradually becoming " small by degrees and beautifully less," and is no longer, as in the good old times, a standard betting race during the winter. This year the entries contained names that, for a short period, induced me to believe we should have a very sporting Oaks; but Blink Bonny's decay, the jading propensities of Ayacanora, and the wretched exhibition this year of Rosa Bonheur and Beech, nut, have dissipated the idea, and I question if we shall be able to make up a field of more than a dozen runners, selected from the following Nougat Sneeze Slattern Ayacanora Beechnut Aspasia Lady Hawthorn Biiuk Bonny Paula Monti Vanity Imperieuse Mcestissima Tricolour Augury Strawberry Daisy Sister to Jesuit Of these the best public form last year decidedly was that of Blink Bonny and Lady Hawthorn, but the first looks hope- less, and Lord John Scott's jacket is likely to be on the back of another— Mcestissima, who, when totally unprepared, won her only engagement last year in very clever style, beating Ayaca- nora, Chevalier d'Industrie, Tricolour, Beechnut, and others ; and although a little " ricketty" in the market at the com- mencement of the present week, I must keep Moestissima on my side. Sneeze was a very good filly last season, having won five times, beating at different periods Fisherman, Strathnaver, and other winners, and if in that form now she must be dangerous. Imp^ rieuse last year was also a good mare, beating Lam- bourne, Loyola, Apathy, Adamas, and others at different times. At Newmarket this Spring we also saw her in form, and by the style in which she carried off the Thousand, I must regard her running to be superior to anything I have yet met with. Ayacanora, although possessed of fine speed, has not those enduring qualities about her which others of her family have shown ; aud I should be inclined to prefer the chance of her stable componion, Aspasia, who struck me last year as a mare likely to see a better day. Beechnut, it is true, won the Criterion, beating Drumour and Sydney, but it was obviously an accident, or the mare has lost all her form since. Of the others, Tricolour was by far the best public runner, ai: d if Arsenal should win the Derby, the Tricolour would again be talked about as the flag of victory. Blink Bonny may be supposed to be done with, as, if she could not stay in The One Thousand, we have no reason to infer that she would like the extra half mile here. Of the others, Augury and Sister to Jesuit are most formidable; and I shall conclude my brief impressions of this race by stating at once I see nothing with any pretensions equal to those of IMPERIEUSE and MCESTISSIMA. The Great Scurry Foal Stakes closed with twenty- one nomina- tions, and whilst I write appears to be reduced to a match between Anton and Commotion, and it is almost unnecessary to add I prefer the chances of the former. The other stakes on this day have yet to close.— Yours, & c., OBSERVES. SIR S On the eve of the all- exciting Derby I beg to be allowed to make a few remarks on the pretensions of the various candidates, and will take them in the order in which they appear in the return from " the Corner," to which, I an sorry to say, owners are now- a- days obliged to look to know how their horses are, rather than see them in the stable or at exercise. With what may happen between this and the day, what " nobbling," " squaring," & c, may take place, of course I can form no opinion, but I will endeavour, supposing all to be fair and above board, to give you my views, and also my opinion of what will turn out the winner. Skirmisher, the present first favourite, offers several causes for occupying that position— his own merits, Vedette's performance in the Two Thousand Guineas, and his owner's known integrity and honour. With regard to the horse's merits, having been beaten by St Giles at 4lb when both were fresh and well, I con- sider them to be, one aud the same horse, and the easy manner in which Gemma di Vergy beat St Giles shows that neither is first class. Vedette, before the Two Thousand, was said to be from 41b to 71b the best. This will put Skirmisher on a par with Anton, Loyola, and Sydney, and I do not think the winner of the Derby will come from a lot of horses so close together. I shall expect to see Skirmisher close up, but not the winner. Arsenal comes next, and his favour, I presume, is through Drumour. He must, however, have been tried with that horse before Chester, and if so far superior, it seems to me rather curious that he did not go for the Cup there instead of Drumour, having 41b less to carry. Yellow Jack, from the same stable, was not last year kept at home for that great race, and there- fore I do not feel any great confidence in Arsenal. Anton, from Danebury, became a great favourite just before, and has been since, the Two Thousand Guineas. His " staying" qualities in that race do not appear to have been very great, though he showed good speed; why, therefore, should he stay better over a much severer course like the Derby ? They say he has done great things in private— I should hope not with Went- worth, for if so, the same thing may be said of Polestar, who in public, at Bath, gave him 211b and a 71b beating. He will, how- ever, have one of the best jockeys on him, and be backed by a strong party ; but I think they will be disappointed. Tournament, after having been out of the betting for some- time, has come with a'rush to the place he ought always to have held. Had he been in one of the great stables, with such public running as is to be found in the ". Guide" to his name, he would have been first favourite all the winter; but this, in my opinion, would not have been in his favour. As I remarked last January, he and the now despised " Blink" are the only two that beat Gemma di Vergy last year on equal terms— the mare once, Tournament twice— once a mile, once half a one— once carrying 9st, once carrying 6st 101b. If those two horses were in one stable, which would be thought the best ? So much for public performances. Now for private ones. They say he has only beaten Hartley Buck ; but depend upon it, Sir, the money that has been put on the horse since the trial is on better grounds than that. There is a mare called Zaid6e in the same stable, which ran and won in a canter at Chester. That is enough for me, and the horse that beats Tournament will win the Derby. Saunterer, Sprig of Shillelagh, and Magnifier, I am given to understand, belong to the same owner, and from the way first one and then the other is backed, I suppose it is quite at their proprietor's option which shall win the Derby. I do not believe that either is capable of doing so. Zuyder Zee is in a stable that has this year been unfortunate, which always militates against a horse; but Zuyder's two year old performances are far from discreditable, and if the horse has improved as much as I hear he has, he will frighten his opponents before the start. That he will run on his merits there is not the slightest doubt, and I should recommend him to be kept on the safe side. Adamas has run well this year at Epsom, but the same cannot be said for him at Northampton. That he is an improved horse there can be no doubt, and his party are very sanguine; but I cannot see how there can be much between him and Warder, marske; nevertheless, I expect to see him run very forward. M. D. I do not understand. At one time very recently he seemed likely to be first favourite, and now has retired again— perhaps, before the day, to be again " called iu." He will, how- ever, find something more formidable than Somerset to prescribe for, if we are to judge of the latter from his running in the Somersetshire Stakes. Wardermarske has been beaton every time he has been out this year. So was Ellington. I shall not be surprised to find him Dawson's representative. Lady Hawthorn jumps about in the betting amazingly. I think her best chance lies in the integrity of her owner, but I fear she will not stay. Glenmasson, after winning his race at Newmarket in a canter, went down to nearly double the odds. I think he will be found to run very respectably, and beat many others that have now more admirers. Bird in the Hand only shows what there is in a name. At York Spring from 50 to 100 to 1 might have been had about fcim; and yet a fortnight afterwards, because he went through London with Scott's lot, people were to be found to take 12 to 1! I never thought he had a chance after York. Strathnaver and Blink Bonny I shall couple. By winning he Dee Stakes, the former has certainly proved himself, to say the least of it, as good as any of the Two Thousand Guineas horses. Last year, and, I believe, up to the decision of the Oae ; Thousand Guineas Stakes, it was universally supposed that " Blink" in the Derby could, with her allowance, give him a stone, if not without it; and that she would win the Oae Thousand was the popular opinion. " How are the mighty fallen !" Still we see curious things on the Turf. Drumour, at Chester, within the week improved about 211b on Ids Two Thou- sand Guineas form.^ Daniel O'Rourke, who, I believe, was last in the Two Thousand, won the Derby. Aud Lady Evelyn, who was beaten by a very bad mare in the One Thousand in her year, won the Oaks. Only last Tuesday we saw a horse out of a great stable, not backed for a shilling, galloping in first by fifty yards, with his tiny jockey beckoning to the others to come on, amongst which, far in the rear, was their chosen representative. I make these remarks because I would advise no one to stand a great stake against Blink Bonny if she comes well to the post and carries the confidence of her stable, which from the present aspect of affairs I am disposed to think she will do. People m ay laugh ; and so they would have done if auy prophet last year had taken Ellington as his winner. I, myself, a3 early as January, 1856, took him as the first horse on the list, but discarded him, as everybody else did, after his defeat. Still the highest offers from the most stentorian lungs should not make me stand a stake against Blink Bonny that it would be incon- vonimti fa, , j t - -- , „ . L . , . ± lUliy expect to see & S IHUC- ii amicv, iv jveep her harmless on the day as there was last year with Flybynight. Sydney may like the Derby course better than the Rowley Mile, but I do not fancy him. I may have missed the " bullseye," but the only outsider I should back would be Oakball. And now to pick the winner, I cannot myself see much change in the relative form of the animals that have been out this year. I believe 31b would bring together a great number of the most prominent favourites. Last year I think it will not be denied that the best form was in the following order by public running:— Blink Bonny, Tournament, Gemma di Vergy, Zaidte, and Goldfinch ( at Ascot). " Blink" has, to all appear- ance, totally lost all form; Gemma is not in the race; Goldfinch I presume, is hors de combat, and Zaidee, like her old opponent. Gemma di Vergy, not engaged in the Derby ; but she is in the same stable with Tournament, and having been out in public, and apparently maintained her form, is able to tell Drewett that Tournament has kept his also; and therefore I unhesitatingly select ( as I did ; iast January, in case anything happened to Blink Bonny), TOURNAMENT, as the winner of the Derby, 1857. The others I consider so close together that I shall not attempt to pick a second and third, but if obliged, I should name Skirmisher and Adamas. Ma> y 21st. SOOTHSAYER. DEREY RHYMES. If you, dear Bell, will kindly choose To act II a can as to my muse, And in your wide- spread journal's columns Give me a place ( I won't write volumes), Excuse the rhyme, but I'll essay My humble powers to show the way By which all they of bias sporting May take the shortest cut to " fortin," Upon that all- important day, The Derby— 27th of May. I'll first review the different horses Of English stables all the forces, And then, as sure as I'm a sinner, I shall proceed to pick the winner. In looking with an eye prophetical Through all the entries alphabetical, Commotion in the list first comes That have been backed for any sums ; But mark my words, this foremost place Will not be held by him in the race; And Mr Bowes's are a " flam;" John Scott has not one worth a ! And Loyola will not be my pick, Though once I thought he'd do the trick. Next in my list, omitting some, to Sprig of Shillelagh then I come, who Was once backed, but ' twill be funny If he wins his friends their money ; And this opinion's held by me About the well- bred Znyder Zee. And next I come to Tournament, For to the Derby he'll be sent As better than that child of mystery, Blue Jacket— this is true as history; I do not think he'll win the race, But very likely get a place; Eut Aldcroft won't, it seems to me, With Wardsrmarske get winning fee. ' Bout Lady Hawthorn I'll this doom Pronounce— she'll not be found in bloom. I now approach the Findon lot, Who've all been backed to win a " pot;" But I declare ( none e'er spoke truer) Arsenal is the " Simon Pure," And to his backers yet at length May prove himself a " tower of strength ;" But those who've backed M. D. so pluckily, Will find that they've not bet unluckily; In the front rank he'll be, and not Hindmost of the leading lot. Strathnaver ' 11 win no man money; And of the once much- liked Blink Bonny I state at once you will not then See her amongst the leading ten. Saunterer will ( the joke I hate) Saunter in somewhat too late. Lambourne may run up; but Anton I shall not select to stand on. Nor yet with Sydney will, I ween, The Baron be a winner seen; But more than beat him will be passed, I think, by Adamas at last. Glenmasson has no chance at all, But Skirmisher's by no means small, For lots of money's on the horse; Still more, his stable is in force. Though Abdale rides well, I'd prefer His lordship should put Ashmall there. He on Fandango was put up, And won my lord the Ascot Cup. But this is no affair of mine ; And having now gone through the line, I will deliver my closing dicta, Which I exhort my friends to stick to. ARSENAL will win the race ; Skirmisher shall have second place; Tournament or M. D. third ; Anton fifth ; and now you've heard My final, fixed opinion. Bet The way I S£ « y, you won't regret, But rather thank me. Farewell dix- i, to what I says I always sticks! May 13,1857. BENJAMIN CONSTANT.

The annual great festival of the racing world commences on Epsom Downs on Tuesday next, and appearances fully warrant the assertion that the meeting of 1857 will rival any of its pre « decessors, especially iu the immense interest attached to that far- famed event— the Derby. The probable starters and winners of the two great races are fully discussed elsewhere by our able correspondent " Observer;" consequently we have here only to state that the course from the late dry weather had become somewhat hard, but the very recent rain, of which there is every likelihood of a continuance, will, no doubt, prove an effectiv ® remedy by Tuesday next. The Croydon and Epsom Railway Com. pany have announced the usual special trains for the week, parti, culars of which will be found in our advertising columns. Trains will run at the ordinary fares up to a certain hour on the " Derby Day," after which the tariff will be raised. On the Derby and Oaks Days trains will run in quick succession up to the last mo « ment; and there will be the usual" special express" at a quarter before two o'clock on each day, to enable those whose avocations will keep them late in town to reach the Downs just in time to invest their " tenner" on the race. The arrangements have been made with the able judgment of Mr Hawkins, and are well cal « culated to prevent confusion and inconvenience. The South Western Railway will also run trains as heretofore to Kingston, for the benefit of those who prefer combining rail and road. All classes, therefore, will be accommodated. And hoping the wea. ther may prove more favourable than last year, we take leave of the subject until next week, when we hope to be able to amuse our readers with a " full, true, and particular acccount" of this eventful meeting. Tickets for Epsom may be obtained beforehand at the Sub « scription Room at Tattersall's and the various booking offices in the metropolis. There were no arrivals at Epsom up to Friday night. We shall give any that may take place, together with the betting at Tattersall's this afternoon, in our " Latest Edition." HORSES EXPECTED. Trained by Mitraille W. Treen Little Gerard .. W.

Stewards : The Duke of Beaufort, Sir Joseph Hawley, Bart, and G for so Payne, Esq. Clerk of the Course : Mr Reynolds. Judge: Mr Clarke. Starter: MrE. Hibburd. Clerk of the Scales: Mr Manning. If the Somersetshire meeting cannot boast of the quality of its horssflesh this year, the shortcomings were sufficiently atoned for by the number of competitors which went to the post for all the principal races— the fields in most instances being above the average, and many of the contests of the most exciting description. In point of company it is invariably successful, the meeting being the wind- up of the Bath fashionable season, whilst the district is renowned not only for its sporting charac- teristics, but for the superior position of the resident nobility and gentry, most of whom take pleasure in the enjoyment of our national sports. Taking place, likewise, in the week preceding the Derby, it affords a trysting point for the junction of the metropolitan and provincial sportsmen to discuss and speculate upon the all- important event which almost since this time last year has occupied the attention of the sporting world. How far the Derby was affected by the proceedings which took place in betting circles during the anniversary of the western meeting our report will show. Although a great many went down overnight, including the whole of'' the Badminton party, the 9: 40 a. m. express from Pad- dington on Tuesday morning was a very heavy train, convey- ing, as it did, a large number of " gentlemen sportsmen,' 5 and nearly all the Metropolitan bookmakers. Not a blow was struck on the platform before starting, and during the stoppage at Swindon— a locale now a days approached with palpitating emotions by the backers of Derby favourites since the overthrow of the Autocrat and King Tom dynasties some few years back— the only bet that came to our knowledge was 2,100 to 300 against Skirmisher. The rush for conveyances on the arrival of the train at Bath was terrific, and notwithstanding the black mail levied by the drivers the supply by no means equalled the de- mand, consequently numbers, as on former occasions, had to toil up the terrific hills to Lansdown on foot, under a broiling sun and suffocated by the dust, to lay which a few heavy showers would have been most welcome. The temperature on Lans- down underwent an extraordinary change during the afternoon, and top coats, which in the morning would have been unbear- able, were found most asrreeable companions. Dark clouds gathered ominously overhead, but the rain kept off, fortunately for the visitors, who mustered in large numbers, and lined each side of the course for a considerable distance both above and below the Stand. The latter building was crowded, and the " West end" of the balcony was occupied as usual by the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and their circle of visitors at Badminton, including the Marquis of Anglesey, Earl of Wiiiou, Earl of Portsmouth, Yisoouat Exracusn, VISCOUS* fllifdan Viscount Canterbury, Viscount Curzon, Sir Lydston Newman Hon G. vT. Fitzwilliam, Hon Admiral Reus, Hon Col Macdonald, Hon Col Forester, Captain Berkeley, M P Captain Baillie, Captain Little, Mr Greville, and Mr Payne. Those who indulged in fears respecting the hardness of the ground were agreeably disappointed; the going was un- exceptionable, and, beyond the awkwardness of the top turn, and the want of additional posts and rails between the distance and the bottom turn, where horses so frequently bolt towards the inner circle, no fault can be found with the course itself. The sport on the whole passed off rather tamely, speculation was fiat, and the fields to- day, except in two or three instances, extremely meagre. The racing commenced with the Lansdown Handicap wherein Fordham, who rode the winner last year, again opened the ball successfully, having Rip Van Winkle for his " partner" on this occasion. The winner was friendless in the Ring, but there was not sufficient betting on the race to do the bookmakers much good, though it proved the commencement of a series of unexpected " turn ups," by which they were con- siderably benefited before the close of the day. Rip s victory brought his stable companion, Glenmasson, on the tapis again for the Derby, and 1,000 to 15 was booked once or twice about the latter. The two year old ru- nniug was confirmed to- day by the easy manner in which Lambourne defeated The Vigil, these two having been first and second for this stake last year. The T. Y. C. Handicap, the start for which was delayed a considerable period owing to the fractiousness of The Un- expected, and the two year olds was run away with by Mr Greville's Elopement colt, who upset the " pot" with which Lady Conyngham, a two year old in Woolcot's stable, was entrusted, aiid at the hammer placed £ 80 to the credit of the Race Fund. Next came the " Somersetshire," for which nine runners were telegraphed, the absentees of those " co- loured" being Fisherman, Dupe, Odd Trick, and Ombra. Wentworth's starting had been pronounced very doubtful until the last moment, but when it was decided to run him, the horse immediately displaced Dulcamara in the betting, and the latter, who, with his fore legs bandaged, looked as if he fead not forgotten his Chester Cup dressing, also gave way in the market to Polestar. The Danebury stable had first favourite last year, but their representative on this occasion did not prove so good a friend to its aristocratic supporters as Cerva did, the race re- sulting in the success of an outsider— one of those " glorious uncertainties" which even the most careful Turf management cannot at times prevent, Cedric's victory astonished nobody, we take it, more than his owner, by whom, on dii, he was not backed fir a shilling ! The racewas over at the lower turn, where Cedric, who had been lying last of everything, ran through his horses, galloped clean away from them, and, increasing his lead as he went on, won by at least ten lengths— his tiny jockey ex- hibiting the greatest nonchalance by turning round in his saddle, opposite the Stand, and beckoning to his followers, whom he scattered into a " tail" nearly a quarter of a mile long ! The " turn up" was so unexpected in the Ring that until Cedric's number was hoisted many mistook the winner for Somerset and Signal ( whispered as a" good thing" beforehand), owing to each being ridden in white jackets. Cedric was purchased when a vearling, at the late Mr Andrew Johnstone's sale at Doncaster in 1855 for 210 guineas by the Marquis of Anglesey, and when the draft of his lordship's stud was sent to Tattersall's in Decem- ber last the horse was bought by Mr Parker, who trains in the Woodyates' stable, for 50 guineas! Subsequent to his victory to- day, Mr Parker disposed of Cedric to Lord William Powlett for 900 guineas, The excitement eaused bv the great event having subsided, attention was next devoted to the Two Year Old Biennial,, for which a small and moderate field went to the post, Lord Avlesbury's colt by The Flying Dutchman out of Gala, who has upwards of twenty engagements in the Calendar, being f the favourite. The " talents,' yhowever, were again " out," an « l the only recompense for the loss of their investments was a re- L markably fine race between Gin and Bridal Tour, which resulted in the success of the Duke of Beaufort's colours by a head, the winner, though in trouble a long way from home, having struggled with uncommon gameness. The Danebury two year old winners seldom " hit the taste" of the Ring when fancied by the stable, but on this occasiou they appeared to relish their " three ha'porth" like true lovers of " blue ruin." Brother to Secretary extinguished his chance, upon which Baron Rothschild was somewhat " sweet," by bolting out of the course soon after starting— a recommendation, we trust, for extending the rails so as to prevent a recurrence hereafter of such disappointments which invariably occur every year at that particular point. The racing coneluded with the Members' Plate, for which out of a field of ten Shirah, the winner, was the only one backed, and a real good thing it turned out. But for a delay of a quarter of an hour, caused by the misbehaviour of a local bred " cocktail" enjoying the appropriate appellation of Scamp, who galloped all over the course, jumped a wall, and afterwards in the race repeated his steeple chase practice by bolting over the railings at the junction of the T. Y. C., the pro- ceedings would have terminated punctually at the appointed time— five o'clock— a favourable contrast to the " leather- flapping" arrangements of the " guzzling" race committee at Chester. The Derby betting on the course was chiefly confined to Arsenal, Anton, and Wardermarske. The former was in great force, and at 9 and 8 to 1 backed for the best part of a thousand pounds, 1,000 to 100 was taken three or four times about Anton, and 3,000 to 100, 1,000 to 35 twice, and 1,000 to 40 about Wardermarske. 7 to 1 was offered on the field, 10 to 1 agst Tournament, and 14 to 1 each agst M. D. and " The Sprig." Adamas and Sydney were backed at 20 to 1 each ( the latter for most money), and 10,000 to 20 was taken about Black Tommy. There were a few transactions on the Oaks at the fol- lowingiprices:— 7 to 1 agst Imperieuse. 8 to 1 agst Aspasia, lOtol agst Blink Bonny, and 16 to 1 agst Vanity. Sneeze was inquired after, but her price did not transpire. The evening muster at the Castle and Ball was unattended by any movement of im- portance ( except the " knocking out" of Bird in the Hand and Sweet William) to the infinite relief probably of many of the supporters of the favourites, whose reminiscences of former denouements here had no doubt prepared them for the worst. The only bets that came to our knowledge were 1,500 to 100 agst Sprig of Shillelagh, 1,000 to 25 agst Blink Bonny, 10,000 to 30, 1,000 to 4, and 1,000 to 2 agst Sweet William ( reported to be hors de combat), and 200 to 100 on Magnifier agst Blink Bonny in their places. 50 to 1 was offered agst Bird in the Hand. There was plenty of chaff, and an indiscriminate number of offers of the most eccentric nature, but their repetition here would in no way interest our readers. The fineness of the morning and an extremely good looking card attracted a larger attendance upon Lansdown on Wednes- day than was present on the previous day, including several fresh arrivals from town, whereby we were enabled to increase our list of company by the following names, in addition to the distinguished circle from Badminton, all of whom were again present, with the exception of the Duchess of Beaufort:— The Earl of Lincoln, Lord William Powlett, Lord Robert Clinton, Lord de Mauley, Sir Robert Peel, Hon R. Lawley, Hon Major Wortley, Col Archdall, Col Ouseley Higgins, Capt West, Capt Coates, Capt Campbell, Capt Gibson, Capt Goff, Capt King, Capt Duff, Capt Trower, Capt Brabazon; Messrs Drinkald, Powell, J. H. C. Wyndham, Padwick, H. Fitzroy, W. Martyn, C. Martyn, Calthorpe, F. Heathcote, T. Heathcote, Oliver, Ber- nard, Hives, G. D. Pennant, Osbaldeston, Knatchbull, & c. The afternoon turned out bitterly cold, and one or two sprinkling showers fell, but not sufficient to lay the dust, which alone marred the enjoyment of the magnificent panorama of the ride between the city and Lansdown. The racing was resumed with a small Selling Stakes won by Questionable, who foreshadowed the success of the favourites to- day as Rip Van Winkle did that of the non- favourites yesterday, the only race carried off by an outsider being the Bath Handicap, for which Signal, a light weight in Treen's stable, ridden by a stronger boy, exhibited a different performance to that in the Somersetshire. Making use of her " feather," she cut out the work from end to end, and after a most exciting set to with Stork, who ran a good horse, pulled the fielders through by a head, Wentworth obtaining the same position as in the Stakes the previous day. Certain " knowing ones" backed Signal on the fir^ t occasion, but declined to have anything to do with her to- day, and except in running, when amongst other bets Mr Saxon took 100 to 5 about the winner from a bookmaker seldom " caught napping," she was not backed for a shilling, we believe. The Weston Stakes brought out eleven two year olds, amongst which several were strongly fancied, particu- larly Mr Halford's filly, by Peppermint out of Mainbrace ( Fisher- man's dam)— now called Mainstay— Princess Royal, and Melita. The first- named was second- best in the Hopeful at Doncaster to Polly Peachum, aud was a great " pot" on this occasion, but with the line through the latter, Mr Saxon's filly proved a formidable opponent, and a splendid race between the two was won by the favourite by a head only, the Princess never having quite got up. Alfred Day, strange to say, was third for this race last year on The Vigil, and would have been much closer to the winner to- day but for a disappointment which Heroine met with at the finish. " Mr F. Robinson" took 7,000 to 200 about Main- stay and Anton for this race and the Derby, and the first event having come off in his favour, he has rare hedging for the second, • The Aristocratic Handicap, owing to Alfred Day on Avenger losing a stirrup leather, and Sir Colin getting the best of Mr Edwards at the top turn, was reduced to a match between Brompton and Van Eyck, the latter of whom won easily, the 6lb difference in the weights at which they ran in the Members' Plate the day before redueingittoacertainty. TheDyrham Park Handicap lookedareal good thing on paper for Shirah, malgri his 5lb penalty, and so it proved— his jockey pursued the same tactics as yesterday by going from end to end, and he won in a canter, Melissa, who showed a little better form than in her previous races this season, alone making a race with Shirah at the finish, Com- panion, the favourite, having been overpaced throughout. The meeting was brought to a conclusion with a very questionable race for the T. Y. C. Free Handicap, for which liberal odds were betted on Schoolboy, one of the very worst horses in training perhaps, though everybody was pleased, never- theless, at the success of the noble chairman of the race com- mittee, to whose influence and indefatigable exertions, added to the zealous discharge of the duties of his stewardship, in which he was ably seconded by Mr Payne, the improved position of the meeting is in a great measure attributable. The stewards elect are the Duke of Beaufort, the Marquis of Anglesey, and the Hon Admiral Rous. Mr Reynolds and the other well- known officials got through their duties in the most satisfactory man- ner, Mr Edward Hibburd officiating as starter in the place of his brother, owing, we regret to state, to the latter's serious illness. The racing was over in ample time to enable the visitors to get away by the 6: 40 p. m. regular train, which, though tre- mendously heavy, left Bath within a few minutes of its ap- pointed time— thanks to the exertions of Mr Howell, the station- master, and Mr Barton, the company's police superintendent. The " special" at half- past seven, consequently, had few passengers; and we would repeat oar suggestion of last years to A. Day o . G. Mann 0 Prior 0 Hibberd 0 .... J. Land 0 . Bray 0 start the " special" on future occasions at half- past five, so as not to interfere with the regular traffic of the line.

The running was made DV Little Gerard, followed by Annot Lyle and Libellist to the turn, when Libellist dropped off, and Rip Van Winkle took third place, Madams- Rachel going on fourth, with Sir Colm in close attendance. There was no further change until reaching the distance, when Little Gerard and Annot Lyle gave way to the three placed, Rip Van Winkle taking the lead, and winning easily by half a length, Sir Colin finishing four or five lengths off. Little Gerard was fourth, clear of the next lot, which comprised Alembic, Annot Lyle aud Amelia, who were beaten a long way. The BIENNIAL STAKES of 10 sovs each, with 50 added, for thre © year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies and geldings 8st 71b; the second to save his stake, and the winner to pay 5 sovs towards ex- penses ; one mile and a half: 37 subs.

The Vigil took a lead of three lengths, and cut out the work at a good pace, the other two running side by side for about a quarter of a mile when The Avenger dropped into the rear, but came again before reaching the lower turn, and rejoining the favourite ran at his side into the straight, when he gave way in toto. Lambourue then began to creep up to the mare, had her safe at the distance, and won, hard held, by a length and a half; The Avenger beaten off. A FREE HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs, for two year olds and up- wards ; winners once after the weights were declared 4lb, twice 81b extra; the winner to be sold by auction, & c, for 50 sovs; T. Y.

After some delay at the post caused by the fractiousness of the Elopement colt and Unexpected, the former jumped oft with the lead, maintained it throughout, and won in a canter by a length and a half, the favourite finishing two lengths behind Unexpected ; wide intervals between the others. The winner was hnught in for £ 130. The SOMERSETSHIRE STAKES of 25 sovs each, 15 ft, and 5 only if declared, with 100 added; the winner to pay 15 sovs towards expenses, the second to receive 50 sovs, and the third to save his stake; the winner of the Great Northern, Newmarket, or Chester Cup Handicaps 71b, of either two of such stakes 14lb, and any other winner of a handicap of the value of 200 sovs and upwards 5lb extra; two miles and a distance; 54 subs, 30 of whom declared.

They got away at the first attempt, Jesuit and Bobby B. ( side by side) showing in advance to the Stand, followed by Signal and Dulcamara; Rosati and Wentworth lying toge- ther three or four lengths off, with Polestar and Cedric in the rear, the latter being a long way behind the mare. After round- ing the top turn, Bobby B. ran out and left Jesuit with a clear lead, and at the mile post the latter dropped behind Somerset, and was soon afterwards out of the race, Signal also giving away altogether at the far side. Just before rounding the turn Somerset was joined by Rosati and Wentworth, when the mare bore to the inside of the course, and coming into collision with one of the posts smashed it into pieces, whereby her chance was at once extinguished. After this mishap, Went- worth joined Jesuit in the bend of the turn, aud when fairly round it headed him, Lord Clifden's horse a few strides further being also passed by Dulcamara, Somerset, Cedric, and Polestar. Wentworth's lead was of short duration, for directly after entering the straight Cedric ( as soon as Adams perceived his stable companion Dulcamara in trouble) went in front a quarter of a mile from home, gallopped away from his followers at every stride, and won in the most hollow style imaginable by ten lengths, the others being so widely separated that Mr Clark had no difficulty in placing the lot, Polestar beating the favon rite for second money by half a dozen lengths. The BIENNIAL STAKES of 10 sovs each, with 50 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies and geldings 8st 71b; untried horses or mares allowed 31b, but only one allowance; the second to save his stake, aud the winner to pay 5 sovs towards expenses ; T.

Sharp 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst the Gala colt, 7 to 2 agst Bridal Tour, 4 to 1 agst Brother to Secretary, and 5 to 1 each agst Patience and Gin. Gin made the running with Bridal Tour, the Gala colt and Patience closely laid up until half way in the distance where the favourite and Patience dropped off, and left the other two to finish the race, which resulted after a magnificent struggle in favour of Gin by a head. The Gala colt was beaten two lengths, and Patience as far from him. Brother to Secretary bolted into the centre of tfee course after they had gone about two hundred yards, and was never in the race afterwards, The MEMBERS' HANDICAP PLATE of 50sovs; winners of any handicap after the weights were published 5lb extra; once round ( about one mile and a half); 28 subs.

Shirah cut out the work, followed by Elfrida, Little Sykes, Amelia, Cotswold, and Van Eyck in a cluster until half way down the far side, when Elfrida headed the favourite, and car- ried on the running to the lower turn, at the commencement of which Shirah resumed the lead. After entering the straight, Elfrida, Amelia, and Cotswold dropped off, and Little Sykes and Van Eyck were joined by Park- keeper and Brompton, each of whom made his effort in turn inside the distance, but failed to reach Shirah, who won in a canter by two lengths; a head be- tween second and third. Brompton and Little Sykes were next close together about a length off, and at wide intervals from them Amelia and Elfrida headed the ruck. Scamp broke away before starting, ran down the inside of the course to the lower turn, threw his jockey, and afterwards jumped the wall. On being caught and led back, Walley, none the worse for his spill, remounted the brute, and started with the others, but at the lower turn he again bolted, and jumped the rails at the junction of the T. Y. C. course, Walley, we are glad to state, again escaping without the slightest injury. WEDNESDAY.— A SWEEPSTAKES of 5 sovs each, with 20 added; the winner to be sold by auction, & c ; one mile ; 5 subs.

Maud showed in advance for about a quarter of a mile, when the running was taken up by Annot Lyle, who, followed by Arcanum and; the favourite carried it on to the distance, after passing which Questionable went in front, and won easily by two lengths, the two year old beating Annot Lyle by half a length. Maud walked in from the distance, and Scamp bolted through an open gate near the T. I. C. Course towards his corn bin. The winner was not sold. The BATH HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added, for three year olds and upwards; the winner of the Somersetshire Stakes 101b, of any other handicap of 200 sovs value ( including the winner's own stake) 5lb, of two or more such handicaps 10lb extra; the winner to pay 10 sovs towards expenses; once round ( about one mile and a half); 31 subs.

Parr's Odd Trick, 3 yrs, 6st 121b Hibberd Mr Gulliver's Redemption, 5 yrs, 7st 81b Prior Betting: 2 to 1 agst Odd Trick, 4 to 1 agst Wentworth, 5 to 1 agst Stork, and 7 to 1 agst Glen Lee. After one failure Signal jumped off in advance, aud at the top turn had a lead of half- a- dozen lengths, Stork lying second, Alembic third, Alice Went- worth fourth, Polmoodie fifth, and Redemption sixth; Glen Lee, Wentworth, and Odd Trick running together several lengths in the rear. After rounding the turn the second division got into closer order, and before reaching the lower turn, where the light weight's lead was reduced to a couple of lengths, Alembic was disposed of. Polmoodie then showed at Signal's heels, but in the straight Stork resumed his original position, and Wentworth drawing gradually to the front took his place next Redemption. From this point Signal's lead began to lessen, and Stork, catching her at every stride, ap- peared to have the best of it at the Stand, when Shakspeare, who had taken a pull at his mare just before, called upon her for a final effort, and won an exciting race by a head, Wentworth finishing a length and a half off. Odd Trick, who passed a lot of the beaten horses inside the distance, was fourth, about two lengths from Wentworth, Redemption fifth, about a length from him, and the others beaten a long way, Shakspeare was reprimanded for disobeying the orders of the starter. The WESTON STAKES of 10 sovs each, with 50 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 71b, fillies and geldings 8st 4lb; the pro- duce of untried horses or mares allowed 3lb, if both 5lb; win- ners of any one stake of 260 sovs value 51b extra •. the winner to pay 5 sovs expenses; T.

The running was made by Melita, attended by Heroine and Grand Duchess on the right, with Happy Land and Mainstay closely laid up next the rails almost to the distance, where Heroine shewed in advance. Before reaching the Stand Melita, Happy Land, and The Grand Duchess, were beaten, and Heroine was headed by the favourite and Princess Royal who came with a " wet sail" at the last, and made a most exciting finish, the fiat being in favour of Mainstay by a head only, Mr Saxon's filly never having quite got up. Heroine, who was stopped opposite the Stand, m consequence of the other two closing together just in front of her, finished two lengths off, and twice as far from her Melita was fourth, Grand Duchess fifth, Happy Land sixth, and Lady Elizabeth next; the last three were Lady Ann, Wychwood, and Harry Stanley. On the complaint of the starter, Mundy was fined £ 10 by the Stewards, for refusing to comply with his orders, and Kendall was repri- manded for causing one or two failures at the post.

Day 0 Betting: Even on Van Eyck, and 2 to 1 agst Sir Colin. Sir Colin went away with a tremendous lead, but bore out so much at the top turn that he lost his advantage, and was headed at the far side by Van Eyck and Brompton for about fifty yards, when Mr Edwards having got his horse into the course again, Sir Colin resumed the lead, the other two going on side by side- Avenger, whose jockey slipped a stirrup leather, having been stopped soon after starting. In the straight Sir Colin was pumped out, and the other two passing him had the finish to themselves. Van Eyck going on with the lead, and winning easily by half a length. A bad third.

Shirah took up the running, fol- lowed, after set tling in their places at the top turn, by Lunelle and Melissa, Companionlvingfourth, Uzella andCotswold next, Stan- hope and Hobgoblin behind them and Little Gerard bringing up the rear. After passing- the mile post, Companion ran into the second place, and joining Shirah at the bottom turn, the two came round it, head and head into the straight, when Shirah re sumed the lead, Companion, Melissa, and Lunelle remaining his followers, as in the early part of the race to the distance, where Lunelle was beaten. Half way up, Melissa passed Companion, but failed to reach Shirah, who won, hard held, by three- quarters of a length, Companion finishing two lengths behind Lord Clifden's mare, with a similar advantage over Lunelle, who was fourth, Little Gerard being fifth; nothing else near, the Danebury pair being beaten a long way.

The favourite made all the running, aud after a very questiona- ble effort on the part of the second opposite the Stand, which called forth derisive laughter from the fielders, won by a length and a half; You Shan't did not get off. The winner was not sold. LiTEST BETTING ON THE COURSE. In the course of the afternoon there was a considerable amount of Derby betting, the horses in most force being Arsenal, Anton, M. D., Sprig of Shillelagh, Sydney, Strathnaver, and Saun- terer. The farourite was backed for two or three hundred pounds at 7 to 1, and Arsenal freely at our quotation— one bet of a monkey was laid between them at evens. The outlay on Anton ( in no degree affected by Wentworth's double defeat), was at least five or six hundred pounds at 10 to 1, and quite as much at a point less; in fact we question if lie was not aliXiosfc as good a favourite as Arsenal during the latter part of the afternoon. The last bet that came to our knowledge about M, D. was 2,400 to 200. The Sprig fluctuated between Is to 1 and 13 to 1, at which latter figure he was backed for fully £ 600, although subsequently on the platform at Bath prior to the departure of the train 1,000 to 100 was laid. Strathnaver advanced to 20 to 1, and there was a decided reaction in favour of Saunterer, who opened at 1,000 to 35, and left off at 20 to 1 ( takers), an offer being likewise made to back Mr Jackson's three against anything " bar Skir- misher." Tournament's price was nominal. From inquiries after Bird in the Hand in certain quarters, it was quite certain that he was anything but a " dead bird," and 30 to 1 was the highest price obtainable about him. 7 to 1 agst Skirmisher( t & off) 8 to 1 9 to 1 10 to 1 12 to 1 15 to 1 20 to 1 20 to 1 Arsenal ( tk) Anton ( tk freely) Tournament M.

England's Beauty took a slight lead, followed by Foxhunter, Tame Deer, and The Dupe, the ruck headed by Firmament, lying several lengths in their rear. In this order they ran to the turn into the straight, where Foxhunter over- pulling his rider, rushed ts the front, and took up the running, followed by The Dupe, the pair appearing to have the race to themselves until near the distance, where Tame Deer and Shirah passed them, the former going on with the lead until half- way up, when they were there; joined by Romeo, who took the rider of Tame Deer by surprise, and won by a length; Shirah was beaten three lengths from the second, England's Beauty being a bad fourth, Firmament fifth.

Favoured with a lovely summer's day, this meeting had an excellent commencement on Tuesday, the attendance exceeding in numbers and fashion even that of last year, all the principal supporters of the Irish Turf being present, with several from " over the water," including a few well- known members of the Ring. The course, from the continued care taken of it since its formation, was in excellent order, being well covered; but from the recent parching east winds, it was rather on the hard side. The arrangements for properly carrying out the details of the meeting were excellent in every respect; and under the direc- tion of the active secretary, business was got through with ease and commendable celerity. Easy transit to the scene of action was afforded by the Dublin and IJrogheda railwav, trains being despatched every half hour during the forenoon, nor were the " jarvies " idle, the rail and the road dividing the public patron- age pretty equally. As usual the noble Lord of Ben Heder entertained a distinguished company at the castle, including the Marquis of Waterford, the Marquis and Lady Cecilia Conyng- ham, the Marquis of Drogheda, the Earl and Countess of Miltown, and Lady Barbara Leeson; Lord Russborough, the Hon Mr Leeson, Lord St Lawrence, Lady Fanny Lambert, Sir Thomas and Lady Burke, the Earl of Clonmel, Capt D. W. P. Beresford, Lieut- Colonel Udney, A. D. C.; Colonel and Mrs Caul- field, Mrs Augustus de Trafiord, Captain R, W. Bernard, Mrs Barfoot, Miss Digby, Mr Thomas Bellew, Mr J. S. Kirwan, & c. The sport extended to five events, commencing with the Trial Stakes, for which a field of seven ran. A rather indifferent start gave the lead to Sir Thomas Burke's colt by Mildew out of Lady Caroline, who, very cleverly ridden by little Murphy, was never quite reached, and won at last cleverly by a length from Miss Bessy, who having to go round her horses at the last turn, lost ground which she failed to make good at the finish. Seven was again the " main" for the succeeding event— the Conyngham Stakes, for two year olds. A pretty good- looking lot, so far as appearances went, but of wretched form, as proved by the ease with which Knockburn, an English importation, knocked them all over, and he, too, in no great bloom after a badjsea voyage. The race of the day— the Howth Stakes— followed next, and for which eight sported the silk. In the betting, which was pretty considerable, the Indian Warrior held the premiership, and the result justified the confidence of his party, a strong- run, long, aud punishing race, ending at last in his favour by better than a length. The Hawk and Bonnivard, both in the Curraghmore stable, won the two succeeding events, which brought the first day's proceedings to a close. Op Wednesday the weather took an unfavourable change, com- mencing to rain early, and continuing a regular downpour until late in the day. The consequence was a very meagre attend- ance, scarcely a dozen carriages being on the course, and the at- tendance on the Stands and within the inclosure being limited to a few hundreds. An excellent afternoon's sport rewarded those who had the hardihood to venture out. It commenced with the Stewards' Plate, for which favouritism was almost equally divided between Dunboyne and Kuockburn, the latter winning in the commonest of canters, stamping all the Irish race horses a set of wretches. Ten started for Lord Waterford's handsome gift, the Curraghmore Cup, a splendid race resulting in favour of The Trapper, whose success may be put down to the fine riding of James Wynne, who, lying off till The Warrior and Chicken had almost run themselves to a standstill, came like a shot in the two dozen last strides, and won by a short neck, amid the uproarious aeiight of the fielders, who " skinned the lamb," The Trapper being only backed for an odd fiver, The match between Arbutha and Alfred was a close affair from start to finish, both a pair of curs, running with their ears thrown back for the last quarter of a mile, Connolly, the stronger lad of the two, " squeezing" Alfred, the non- favourite, first past the post by a short head. The succeeding race was an equally close set- to between Miss Bessy and Altro, many on the Stand and in the inclosure fancying the latter had won, but the judge's award was for Bessy by half a neck. In the concluding race, the Hunters' Plate, 2 to 1 was freely laid on Escape, who can- tered after his opponents, headed them at the distance, and won as he pleased. On Thursday there was again a very full attendance, notwithstanding the morning was not very in- viting, heavy showers falling at intervals. The Hurdle Stakes was the first event decided, the Arab Maid pulling it off after a sharp set- to with The Disowned, Belphegor ( winner of the Hunt Plate at the late Kilkenny Steeple Chases, and who was there bought by Lord Waterford) breaking down. A field of six ran for the Corinthians, which The Baker ( ridden by Mr W. Kennedy, the most fortunate of Corinthians) won at last cleverly by two lengths from Spinster, Bonnivar an indifferent third. A deal of time was cut to waste before a start was effected for the Handicap Plate owing to false starts occa- sioned by Kitty Free, who at the first attempt broke away with little Archer, and ran a round of the course before she was stopped. At last a bad start was effected, Alcyone having the lead, followed next by Sirocco and Simon Pure, and to these the race was confined, Alcyone winning in a canter by nearly a length. TUESDAY, MAY 19.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added; once round; 11 subs. Sir T, Burke's b c by Mildew out of Lady Caroline, 3 yrs, Sst lib J. Murphy 1 Mr T.

The Mildew colt, get- ting away with a lead of a length or two, made strong play all the way, and, defeating Miss Bessy's effort at the distance, won in a canter by two lengths; the Arab Maid a bad third, and Siroceo next. The CONYNGHAM STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 5ib, fillies Sst; 31o allowed to untried stallions or mares ; a winner previous to starting 5lb extra; Conyngham Post; 16 subs.

Wynne 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst the Simoom filly, 2 to 1 agst Knockburn, 3 to 1 agst St Patrick, and 7 to 2 agst theCotherstone colt. The awkwardness of two or three of the youngsters in getting off caused a rather scattered start, advantage of which was taken by Knockburn, who was soon leading a couple of lengths— an advantage he held to the end— winning in a canter by a length and a half. The favourite ran out at the turn, carrying St Patrick with him, who got straight again at the distance, and took second place; Spero finishing a bad third, and Rafatee fourth, The HOWTH STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added; the second to save his stake, and the winner to pay 10 sovs to the fund ; about two miles and a quarter ; 13 subs.

Jongleur and the Duchess of Alba got off abreast, and led past the Stand, the others lying close up, except Gamekeeper, who was content to follow two or three lengths in the rear of all. At the turn above the Stand the Duchess of Alba, depriving Jongleur of the lead, carried on the running at a strong pace for nearly two miles, when, compounding, the whole lot closed witn her, running closely pressed round the last turn, where the Warrior took a decided lead, was not afterwards headed, and won easily by two lengths; a length between The Chicken and Game- keeper ; Cheerful Horn a bad fourth, Jongleur fitth, Lanky Bet and Mildew next abreast, and the Duchess last.

It will be remembered by those who attended the recent Chester meeting that some amusement was caused in the town from the fact of certain " saints" being prevented pouring out their invectives against the races by the wise interference of th « magistrates. A notice was issued to the effect that all persons so engaged ou the race course would be considered trespassers, and treated accordingly. Notwithstanding this announcement, the attempt to preach was made, but immediately suppressed, and some of the violators of the regulation were consigned to " durance vile." This circumstance excited afeeling of indigna- tion among the sanctimonious crew, who convened a meeting on Monday last, in the Chester Music Hall, for the purpose of " sym- pathising with the preachers who suffered personal incarceration whilst in the faithful discharge of their duty." We could well leave the subject here, were it not for the character of the speeches made at the meeting, which are really of so vague, illogical, and, in some instances, profane a nature as to call for especial notice. First, we take the Ghairman, a gentleman of tha name of William Titherington, who, after alluding to the great benefits resulting from open- air preaching, concluded by observing that an attack had been made upon him, stating that his partner, Mr Gill, had won a large sum of money upon the races! which he ( Mr Titherington) " regretted was " but too true." This latter statement accounts for the fact that he did not indulge in the usual invective against racing, but contented himself with observing that Mr Gill ( after having won the " large sum of money") bitterly regretted ever having visited the race- course [ loud cries of " Walker"] ! We trust that as a practical illustration of this gentleman's contrition, he refunded the " large sums of money " so sinfully obtained— if not, we shallb e happy to invest upon the Derby for him! The Rev D. Thomas next addressed the motley assemblage, and expressed a firm con- viction that soon Chester races would be entirely abolished! I We would refer this gentleman to Mr Topham, and an in- spection of his " red book" will perhaps allay his " firm convictions." The " gent" who was " persecuted" and " in- carcerated" next presented himself, and was, it appears, at one time an outcast from society; for, to use his own words, " his poor hands had been steeped in vice," but, of course, he had since become virtuous. We know nothing fur- ther of this fellow, nor of his antecedents, but if his style of speech at this meeting maybe taken as a specimen of his general demeanour, a more intemperate " Missionary of Christ," and one less suited to preach the " gospel of peace," could scarcely exist. Take this passage for instance, " He had seen on the Roodee rows of carriages filled with harlots!" Another specimen, " Chester was not Chester during the races; they must hang a black funeral cloth over it; Chester was Sodom; Chester was drunkenness ; Chester was fornications Chester was lying; Chester was swearing; Chester was gam- bling." After having proceeded some time in a similar bias- phemous strain, he came the " Mawworm dodge," and rivalled Buckstone in exciting the laughter of his audience by the follow- ing profane sentence:—" He had not one ill thought against Major French, but would rejoice if he were able to go to heaven with him arm in arm, and with the high constable and the policemen who took him to jail!!!" Surely a ducking in the Dee would have been the most appropriate treatment for such a lunatic. The meeting having been further addressed in a similar style, a resolution was framed that a petition be presented to Sir George Grey to appoint the Chairman and Mr Salisbury ( the latter of whom refuses the paltry donation of 30 guineas to the fund so liberally granted by all previous members for Chester) magistrates of the county ; but it is not very likely with this specimen before him, that the Home Secretary will insult the bench by any such improper appointment. Racing has from time immemorial been the national sport of Eng. land. Royalty has patronised it, and personally " assists" at the sport, and it would indeed be a lamentable fact if for the want of exertion on the part of its supporters, the Turf were allowed to decay. With regard to this system of preaching, it is very laudable in its place, but on a racecourse is an intolerable nuisance, and no sight is more welcome to a pickpocket than the appearance of a preacher on his tub, for under the garb of religion he can pursue his depredations unmolested, FOALS, & c.

YORK AUGUST MEETING.— A deputation waited upon the York Race Committee on Wednesday last, for the purpose of having four days' races at York instead of three. The gentle- men forming the deputation urged that the number of races on each day was so numerous as to preclude the possibility of thoroughly enjoying the same, or the due transaction of busi- ness, and that by the addition of a good handicap, together with such other races as could easily be provided, it would tend to the interest of the meeting and the city in generai. The com- mittee at once admitted the force of the arguments, but as the forthcoming meeting was fully arranged and advertised, they considered it inexpedient to alter the arrangements, although, proper steps would be taken for securing a fourth day in 1858. LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.— It will be seen from the adver- tisement in our front page that the Nursery Plate for two year olds, and an All- aged Sweepstakes of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 80 added by the Earl of Derby, close aud name on the Tuesday after Epsom. Lewes Races have " changed hands," and will for the future be under the management of Mr Yerrall, who succeeds Mr Top- ham as clerk of the course and lessee, Mr Manning retains his office as judge, and Mr Edward Hibburd is appointed starter. FLOBEXCE RACES.— Mr Editor -. I think it right to point out to you an error in the return of the Florence Races, which you were kind enough to insert in your edition of the 10th inst. The second race, which proved in the first instance a dead head, wm ultimately won by Clown, instead of Gamelad, the names of the horses having by some mistake been transposed.— Yours, & c, A MEMBER OR THE FLORENCE JOCKEY CLUB. Mr G. Barth has named Ms filly foal by Fernhill out of Cole- raine JFem Leaf. The two year old filly by Woolwich out of Blue Belle, by Ion, first called Eurydice, is re- named Melpomene. Jem Ward has requested us to state that he has just received as a present from Hiram Woodruffe and Creep Collins, one of the plates worn by the celebrated mare Flora Temple, when she performed the greatest feat on record of trotting a mile in 2min 24s- sec, in her match with Tacony, in September last.

PRINCE OF WALES YACHT OLUB. The first match of 1857 in the Thames, and, as we believe, in all England, took place on Tuesday, May 19, under the auspices of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club, whose spirit was rewarded by one of the finest days ever known for yacht sailing. The prizes offered were very good for yachts of the small class, being a silver cup and cover, value 35 guineas, presented by the club ; a remarkably handsome cup or tankard, value 10 guineas, pre- sented by the honorary secretary, Mr Chubb, whose services the club is about to lose by his departure for Australia ; and a silver cup, value six guineas, presented by the auditors. The mem- bers, however, did not come forward with their usual spirit, aud the following four yachts only entered :— No. YACHTS. TONS. OWNERS. 1. SILVER CLOUD 7 Mr It. Hewett 2. JULIA 8 Mr P. Turner 3. LITTLE MOSQUITO 7 Mr Buhner 4. VALENTINE 7 MrFradgley The course was from Erith to the Chapman Head and back. One minute per ton allowed for differenco of tonnage. No shift- ing ballast allowed. The Silver Cloud was built last year by Harding of Barking, and is very large for her tonnage, but as a sloop did not meet with success, and has now been altered to a cutter. The Julia is of iron and of very peculiar build, entirely on the designs of her late owner, Dr. Bain; she was at first successful, but of late years has generally been over- matched. She ' uas been lengthened five feet a- midships since last season. The Little Mosquito was built some years ago by Hatcher of Southampton, aud at one time beat everything in the Thames near her tonnage. Latterly, however, she has not done so well, new vessels having come out, and she has been rather unlucky in the very strong winds which she invariably met with last year; we are informed that she has this year some addi- tional ballast. The Valentine used iu former days to sail against the Julia, but having changed owners her spars Were reduced, and of hite years she has net often appeared. The vessels were moored in the usual spot about a milo abova Erith in a some- what imperfect line, No. 1 being to the southward. There was a fresh breeze from the S. W., the sky was overcast, and a strong wind wa3 expected. After some delay on board the steamer, first at Blackwall aud then at Erith, the first gun was fired at 12h 16min 30sec, and the second gun at 12h 21miu 20sec, aud the vessels all swung and hoisted their sails— an operation which, in these little vessels, affords an almost ludicrous contrast to the tremendous exertions required in large vessels. The Little Mosquito was the first to swing, Valentine next, aud the Valentine took the lead, being the first to get her sails set. The Silver Cloud seemed, as on a former occasion, to be in difficulties. The Valentine set a jib- headed top- sail, the other vessels set small square headed topsails, aud ran at a jrood pace through Erith Rinds, at the lower end of which Julia passed through the lee of Little Mosquito, Silver Cloud passing her nearly at the same time to windward. At the poini the four vessels were all close together, with a pleasant breeze aud a bright sun, and so ran merrily into Long Reach, in which Julia and Cloud both passed Valentine, as did the Little Mosquito soon afterwards, The Valentine and Slosquito now set larger topsails, as the wind rather slackened. Off Greenhithe the Julia was a little ahead of the Cloud, Mosquito and Valen- tine about 200 yards astern. In Northfleet Hope the wind was short, Julia gained on Cloud, and Mosquito gained on both of tliem, giving the observant an idea of how the vessels would arrive at Erith. Graveseud Town Pier, ten miles from Erith, was passed at lh 21min 20sec, exactly one hour after the start. The wind was now about S. S. W., and the vessels were rather becalmed iu Gravesend Reach, and at one time the three lead- ing boats were all abreast, and showed every symptom of a close race. All of them, except Mosquito, had now set squaresails. In the Lower Hope all jibed, and here the Valentine came nearly up to them. In Sea Reach, the Cloud was more than once ahead of the Julia, but they rounded the steaaier, brought up off the Chapman Head, twenty- two miles from Erith, as follows :— H. ii. s. 1 H. sr. s. JULIA 2 47 25 LITTLE MOSQUITO. ... 2 51 5 SILVER CLOUD 2 48 0 | VALENTINE 2 54 0 The tide had more than half an hour to run, and the wind dre. v nearly down the reach, having come round to about W. S. W., with a bright warm sun. After a trip to the north shore all the vessels stood over towards the south and began to beat up on the edge of the Blyth, all except Silver Cloud carry- ing jib- headed topsails, though they would, perhaps, have done better without them, and with topmast and gear down on deck. In the third tack the Mosquito passed the Cloud, and in two more tacks had gained so much as to be obliged to bear away for the Julia, thus giving every hope of an exciting contest, when just below the middle buoy of the Blyth, Julia, whilst in stays, touched on the sand. Luckily the tide, though still ebbing, had begun to rise, and she was head to wind, so that, after a delay of some eight minutes, and just as the Valentine had passed, the Julia's crew, by pushing off with spars, and using tremendous exertions, got her off the saud. The Julia appears to be such a favourite that even now there were many bets offered that she would be at all events second vessel; but for some time either she had forgotten how to sail or the Valentine had learned, for the Valentine was not passed till above Mucking, whilst the Cloud still kept her distance, and the Mosquito was a great way ahead. The tide now began to flow. The wind, of course, met them in each reach, and fell lighter under Graveseud, where they all gained on the Mosquito. No material changes, however, took place, and they finally reached Erith as follows :— h. M. s. I H. sr. s. LITTLE MOSQUITO. ... 6 26 20 JULIA 6 32 55 SILVER CLOUD 6 31 10 | VALENTINE 6 46 25 On the arrival ofthe Valentine, a protest was talked about, on the ground that the Julia had shovtd off the Blyfch, and had left one of her spars behind. By the rules of the club, however, any yacht wishing to protest is to hoist ati ensign, which the Valentine, having none on board, was unable to do; and it was, therefore, declared that no protest was admissible. Sharp practice this, on both sides. The three prizes were acoordingly presented to the three first boats ; and after a good deal of time tad been cut to waste iu speechifying and dawdling, the steamer got under weigh, and reached Blackwall at 8h 20min. The Little Mosquito was sailed by her builder, Hatcher, assisted by W, Truckell, of Itchen Perry, and was at last lucky in the day, there not being too much wind for her, and she having to beat up along the Blyth in short tacks against tide, at which sport she and her crew could probably beat anything afloat. Her captain attributes much to the increased ballast; but we suspect that in strong winds her large opponents will generally be too much for her, she being built to sail by length, and being much smaller than many boats of the same nominal tonnage. The Julia does not seem to have been improved by lengthening. The Silver Cloud sailed rather better than she did last year, but her sails seem too large and too light for turning to windward. A great many yachts were cruising about; amongst them were Mosquito, Zopbyrine, Zillah, Violet, Invicta, Emmet, and Zule'ka; and we heard complaints that some of them got in the way of the racing vessels, as yachts constantly do. Off Gravesend was lying the American frigate, Niagara. She is a very large, heavily- rigged vessel, with considerable sheer and rounded quarters, like all Steer's vessels. Her guns are not in her, aud she does not appear to be pierced on her main deck. The Oread steamer was engaged by the club to accom- pany the nsatch. Her captain is a remarkably civil man, keeps very well out of the way of the vessels, and generally gives his passengers a good view of the match. There were about 120 on board, aud a band of eight musicians— a great improvement on the old system of crowding the decks and deafening the ears with a band of 40 military heroes.

The annual meeting of this club will be held at the club* bouse, Harwich, on Saturday, May 30, at eleven o'clock pre- cisely. when officers aud committee will be elected to serve during the ensuing year, and other giheral business of the club will be transacted. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The usual monthly meeting of this club was held on Monday evening, at the Caledonian Hotel, Adelphi, James Goodson, Esq, the Commodore, in the chair, faced by Mr Parmer. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, above a dozen gentlemen were balloted for and elected members. The Commodore then informed the club that notwithstanding the difficulty at present of obtaining a large steam- boat for excur- sions, the treasurer, Mr Eagles, had succeeded in securing Old Pather Thames for the great match on the 18t, h of June, and which he had no doubt would be fully attended, as usual, by members and their friends. Mr Arcedeckne, Commodore of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, then proposed that the officers of the Niagara American frigate, just arrived in England, should, during their sojourn here, be admitted hoti members of the Royal London Yacht Club, which, seconded by Mr Phillips and warmly approved of by the Commodore, who dwelt upon the pleasure they had had in the society of Mr Gunnel], a distin- guished citizen of the United States, at their opening trip, and his kind expressions of gentlemanly feelin-- towards the club, was carried by acclamatiou. Mr Areedeckue then intimated that ( he Harwich Regatta would take plsce in July for the usual liberal prizes, and expressed the pleasure he should feel in seeing the R. L. Y. C. there as usual. Several new members were pro- posed for ballot. YACHTING INTELLIGENCE. COWES.— The R. Y. S. schooner Fancy, Marquis of Drogheda. arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday from the Mediterranean.— The Magician arrived at Jersey on the 16th from Lymmgton.— The schooner Rattlesnake ( late Zouave) arrived at Cowes on Thursday from Lymingtoti.— The R. Y. S. schooner Zoe sailed on Friday for the coast of Norway, with her owner the Earl of Yarborough. COWES CASTLE.— This castle, hereafter the home oftlieR. Y. S., has been so far annihilated as to leave very little trace of its original appearance. The walls have been divested of the ivy which formerly covered it, and the whole of the additions which from time to time have been made during the past two cen- turies, have also been removed, and given way to the present massive structure. Every pains have been taken to render the interior comfortable and commodious; and, as the whole build- ing has been designed bv one of our eminent architects, A. Sal- via, Esq, it will no doubt give satisfaction to the members. The style is Elizabethan, in keeping with the period in which the original castle was built. The dormitories and offices are behind the west wing of the building, the whole of which is approached from the parade through a capacious lawn, and the grounds have been tastefully laid out and divested of the over- hanging foliage which impeded a free circulation of the genial atmosphere for which the locality is celebrated. We believe the present club house will be given up iu August as soou as the castle is occupied. There is a rumour current iu this neigh- bourhood that the former club house, as soon as vacant, will be taken by the Royal Thames as their summer retreat; and which is strengthened by the fact that many of the yachts of that club frequent the rendezvous in the season ; heretofore their rendezvous has been at the Medina Hotel, East Cowes. On Thursday the whole of the workmen employed in rebuilding the castle and converting the same into the future clubhouse of the squadron, were, at the instigation of the members, entertained with a substantial dinner in the building. In all, sixty persons sat down to the delicacies of the season, provided by Mr Hey- ward, of the Globe. _ , The Heroine, schooner, 85 tons, Robert Batt, Esq, Commodore Royal Western Yacht Club, arrived in Kingstown Harbour on Friday, the 8th inst, after a very quick passage from Bayonne; she sailed for Belfast on the llth.

Hodgson, Esq.— Lord Otho Fitzgerald's new screw steam yacht is in an advanced state in the yard of Baylis, of Kingstown, as are also two smaller vessels. The pre- parations for the regatta to lie held by the Royal Irish Yacht Club on this station, on the 30th June and 1st July uext, are progressing rapidly; very valuable prizes will as usual be offered, and a very large attendance of crack vessels is anticipated. The Royal St George's Yacht Club have in the handsomest manner presented a beautiful prize to be run for at this regatta. A model yacht club for vessels of and under 12 tons has been organised at Kingstown, a large number of members and yachts have been enrolled, amongst whom we perceive many well- known members of the three royal clubs.— The Royal Western Yacht Club hold a regatta iu the magnificent Bay of Galway this year, the last week in July. A purse of one hundred sovereigns will be given, an open prize to all comers, and several other prizes, valuable in proportion. Good prizes will also be given for four- oared and pair- oared gigs on Lough Corrib, as also for small class yachts. A regatta will bs held at Douglas ( Isle of Man), under the auspices and management of the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland, on Wednesday aud Thursday, the 8th and 9th of July, and from the success which has attended this regatta for the past two seasons, there is every reason to believe it will be oue of the best attended iu the Channel this year. The usual land revels will be held at the same time, and arrange- ments will be made for running steamers from the ports of Dublin, Belfast, Liverpool, and Fleetwood, so as to suit the accommodation of the public. A regatta will be held at Howth in August, aud will doubtless attract a large attendance of yachtsmen; its excellent management last year won golden opinions, and if as well conducted this season it will com- mand success. The Royal Cork Yacht Club Regatta is also fixed in excellent time— the 14th and 15th July, so that the Channel Clubs may at last congratulate themselves on arriving at a mutual understanding. Thus, the Royal Mersey Yacht Club opens the ball on the 19th and 20th of June; the Royal Irish Regatta, on the 30th June and 1st J uly: the Isle of Man Regat ta, on the 8th and 9 th July; the Cork Regatta, on 14th aud 15th July ; Bantry Bay, 20th aud 21st July ; ana Galway Bay, commencing 27th July. A very ingenious mode of propulsion for yachts and boats has just been patented by Cap- tain W. Williams, the well- known and popular commander of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company's steam ship Windsor. We have had occasion to refer to the invention of a peculiar de- scription of screw by the same gallant officer, aud which has proved eminently successful in all the vessels it has been applied to. Captain Williams exhibited his new invention to several yatchtssnen in Kingstown during the past week, and there is no doubt of its complete success. In the course of a week or so we hope to be enabled to furnish full particulars to our yachting readers ; suffice it at present to say, that when the invention is completed, it will have the effect of superseding oars, and that yachts, when becalmed, will be possessed of a simple propeller, of easy appliance, with power sufficient to send them through the water at the rate of from five to seven knots an hour. It is independent of steam, and can be worked with perfect ease by hand. _ SANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The first match of the season of this club will take place next Tuesday, the 26th instant, and the following yachts are entered to sail :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. CBEHOBNE 3 Mr Burney. 2. SSLINA 3 Mr Pick. 3. ANGLESEY 4 Mr W. Reed. The entry is small, but a good race is anticipated from the supposed equality of the yachts. The recent raising of the ton- nage of the club to ton tons, without at the same time providing for time for tonnage, is believed to be the cause of so meagre an entry. It is, however, to be hoped that the club will re- medy this before their next match. Citizen M has been char- tered to accompauy the match, and will leave Cadogan Pier at 1: 30 p. m., by which time members and their friends must be on board, as the state - of the tide demands the greatest punc- tuality. The stewards of the match, from whom members may obtain tickets for their friends, are— The officers of the club, and Messrs Chasemore, Freeman, Gable, E. Greaves, G. J. Iago, Oriel, Thorn, and M. Ward. The secretary particularly requests members to let him know their intention in reference to the anniversary dinner, as it will much lighten the labours of the stewards. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB EIGHT OARED RACES. These races commenced ou Monday last, and, as usual, at- tracted a vast concourse of University men and other spectators to the banks of the lsis. They will be continued this week. The brackets denote the bumps. MONDAY, MAX 18. 1. Wadham " t I 6. Trinity 1 2. Exeter J 7. Oriel J 8. Balliol I 8. Brasenose 4. Christ Church") j 9. Queen's 5.

TUESDAY, MAY 19. other boats turn out from Messrs Reushaw's at Lambeth, and row above or below as the tide may serve. This year the club took the water early in April, instead of May, as heretofore. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. The stakes, £ 400, in the late match between Kelley and Mes- senger were duly delivered over to Henry Kelley, the new cham- pion of the Thames, on Thursday last, at the house of his friend aud trainer, Mr Henry Salter, the Feathers Tavern, Wands- worth. Although there was a large muster of watermen and tradesmen who have the interests of rowing at heart, we must confess we were surprised to find a total absence of support on the part of amateurs. It is very true that Wandsworth is some- what out of the way to attend a meeting which is likely to be prolonged beyond railway hours ; but we cannot help thinking that such would not have been the closing scene of a match for the championship a fey years ago. After receiving the just re- ward of his great merits, Kelley returned thanks to his sup- porters and friends, who had rendered him such valuable assist- ance from the commencement of his aquatic career, and hoped that he should always be enabled, by his conduct, to prove his gratitude, aud thus secure to himself that support for the future when needed, Kelley concluded by appealing to those present ou behalf of his brave competitor, and headed the subscription with £ 10. The amount besides collected was £ 13 10s, so that with the sum raised on board the boats after the race, we hope that much will have been done to- wards defraying the expenses incurred by Messenger; we doubt not, too, that many gentlemen amateurs will yet forward him something for that purpose. Messenger returned thanks, saying that he had always done his best for his backers in every race, that he had been beaten by a better and younger man, and hoped the victor might long and happily wear his laurels. He could not but express the mortification he felt that he had been left to attend that meeting unaccompanied by a single friend save his owu apprentices. The remainder of the evening ( and we fear the morniug was also intruded on) was passed in the most convivial manner. Messenger has declared his inten- tion of rowing no more races, but we have heard rumours from Norwich which we hope will cause him to change his mind, should they prove to have foundation iu truth, for we think that a famous race might be the result, and there are few enough no w- a- days. Some of Kelley's staunchest admirers have subscribed to- gether for the purchase of a silver goblet, to be presented to him on Monday ( to- morrow) evening, at the Feathers, Wandsworth, in commemoration of his accession to the dignity of the Cham- pionship, when there will, we imagine, be a repetition of the pleasures of last Thursday. The cup is very handsome, value £ 15, and adorned with appropriate devices and inscription, and is the workmanship of Messrs Barnard and Son, Angel- street, St Martin's- le- Graud. The subscribers to this cup hope that all who can make it convenient will attend. Supper ou table at 8: 30 p. m. ROYAL THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA. with it. Mr Wentzeil will also endeavour to extend his boat- building business on the new premises at Kew.

Fell's, Old Swan, Chelsea, ou Wednesday evening next. H. COREY'S CHALLENGE.— In last Saturday's Bell's Life appeared a challenge from H. Corby of Gravesend to row Dowse of Gravesend a scullers match, for £ 50 a side; in answer to which, if Corby means William H. Doust of Greenwich, he is prepared to make the match with him any night next week at the Ship aud Sailor, Church- street, Greenwich. JOHN OLIVES of Benwell will row Young Cooper of the Red- heugh a right away scullers match from the High Level Bridge to the head of the Meadows, in six weeks from the first deposit, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side, and will be at H. Clasper's, Grapes Inn, Side, Newcastle, to- morrow ( Monday) evening to make the match. THAMES UNITY CLUB.— The entries for the next four- oared race will close on June the 9th, when partners will be drawn for, at the club house, Ship Tavern, Lambeth. Gentlemen wishing to contend in the match are requested to give in their names on or before that day. NEMESIS ROWING CLUB ( MANCHESTER) CHAMPION SCULLS. — In consequence of a foul having taken place on the 2d of May, the day fixed for this race, it was decided to be rowed again on Saturday, the 16th May, when, after a good race between Mr O'Keefe and Mr Griffiths, the former won easily. DEAL AND WHITE.— Another deposit of £ 5 a side for this scullers match was made on Tuesday last, at Mr Fowler's, Rose and Crown, Salisbury- lane, and the next of the same amount is to be made on Tuesday next, at Mr Scott's, Three Compasses, Salisbury- street, Bermondsey Wall. NAUTILUS CLUB.— A meeting of this club will take place to- morrow ( Monday), at the Old Swan, Old Chelsea, between eight and ten o'clock, to draw for partners to row for a pair- oared outrigged boat, and other prizes, on Whit- Monday, in three heats. WM. CHEESEMAN, who has been on the shelf seven years, will accept the challenge of Wm. Lane of Westminster, for £ 10 a side or upwards, and give aim choice of boats aud distance. Cheeseman will be at Mr Cole's, Green Man, on Tuesday evening next, prepared to make the match. T. DAY of Wandsworth wiil row Drewitt of Chelsea or Chandler of Hammersmith a scullers race, from Putney to Mort- vuoiuuici > J' nanjiuciomuu a aouiiero IUCU, iiuui i utiicy IU We have to rommd our readers that the time is now near at lake, for £ 20 or £ 30 a side; or any landsman in Chelsea, bar hand when the committee must announce their official pro- ~ " " - - - . - - gramme, and the substance of that important document must depend entirely upon the support they obtain during the next few days. We have repeatedly urged upon aquatic men and the public the necessity of their pronspt assistance, and we again do so, hoping that this year it may be the means of inducing many new supporters to join this gallant little baud, and by their united aid they may be enabled to continue to sustain the pre- sent proud position this regatta holds. The committee have forwarded to us this, the first list of subscriptions, & e. It is certainly very small at present, but next week we believe it will be largely increased, as we know of many who intend to send in their centributions. We see in this list many noble and influential names occur, old a; d staunch supporters of aquatic sports. It is really a pleasure again to enumerate them: — His Grace the Duke of Buccleucli, £ 5 5s ; Sir R. Burnett and Co, £ 5 5s; W. P. Bathe, Esq, £ 1 Is; Bell's Life in London, £ 10 10s ; Messrs Bishop and Sons, £ l Is; Thotnas Chamber- layne, Esq, £ 15; John Cardiuall, Esq, £ 2 2s; Messrs Calvert and Co, £ 5; Messrs Combe, Delafield, and Co, £ 5 5s; his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, £ 5 ; tho Worshipful Company of Fish- mougers, £ 5 5s ; Messrs Goldiug and Co, £ 5 5s: W.

Christ's 2 No change at all has taken place among the first four boats. The Lady Margaret, which gained the possession of her present Elace in the May Races of 1854, has held it ever since, and oisted her flag at the end of 28 races as head of the river. It had been expected pretty generally that this summer she would have been deprived of her honours, but our readers will notice among her crew, which we give below, a few names not unknown to fame over a longer cours%, and on the bosom of a mightier stream than Father Cam, and will not wonder at her continued success. The 1st Trinity crew, notwithstanding the unflinching pluck of Mr A. L. Smith and the powerful limbs of Mr Sergeant- son ( which two gentlemen will be remembered as having rowed 4 and 5 respectively in the last University eight) could get but little within their distance, and that but seldom, though they con- siderably shook off their pursuers ( 2d Trin), who also in their turn ran away from Trinity Hall, while Emmanuel at times pressed the latter very unpleasantly. But we must not keep our notice direcied to the first few boats alone, when there was one boat a little lower down which has succeeded in making a bump every night, and that with such ease, that we cannot say where she would have been stopped had the races continued longer. When we consider, too, that she carries the crew of a college which numbers only between 30 and 40 undergraduates, such success reflects great credit on that crew. We will not, however, linger upon their praises, lest others should envy, and say we were only giving way to a " maudlin enthusiasm." We remarked, too, iu these races, that the influence of the north country style of boat building is spreading widely abroad since the victory of Oxford iu April, Christ's crew and Caius crew both rowed in new boats, built by Messrs Searle, which evidently smacked of Taylor and Jowett. The annual procession of boats is fixed for Saturday evening, the 23d inst. THE LADY MARGARET CREW. st lb 1. S. A. Lafone .. 2. G. Paley 3. W. Havart 4. P. P. Pearson.. 5.

At a recent meeting of this club it was resolved that the annual scullers race among the members for the Golden Cup should take place on Tuesday, June 30, and the oars match for the Colquhoun Goblets on Tuesday, July 14 ; a new match was also added to the usual list, which will be rowed iu randan wherries on Tuesday, June 16, for which last some " trios" are, we believe, already in practice. All the races will be rowed as usual over the ancient metropolitan course from Westminster Bridge to Putney. The days for the Westminster eight- oared race and the Apprentices' Coat and Badge could not be defi- nitely fixed: but there is every reason to suppose that for the former, Friday, J uly 17, and for the latter, Tuesday, Aug 11, will be found convenient. The club days are as before, Tuesday and Friday iu each week, when the eight, a four, and sometimes HENLEY- ON- THAMES ROYAL REGATTA. At a meeting of the stewards of this regatta, which took place last week, under the presidency of the Right Hon Lord Camoys, it was resolved, in consequence of the inability of several members of the London Rowing Club to attend on the davs already fixed, that they should be changed to Friday and Satur- day, June 26 and 27. The stewards found less difficulty in making such a change, as on consultation with the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, it was found that an earlier arrange- ment was also more suitable to their convenience. There is every reasoii to expect a more than usual amount of soort at the forthcoming regatta, a3 it is whispered that Chester will not tamely abandon the two principal prizes of which they are the holders, and it is even thought that the promised appearance of London and Oxford Universities— Cambridge is uncertain— will be an additional spur to prick the sides of their intent, as thev have not yet had the desired opportunity of measuring their strength with the most skilful of their southern brethren of the oar. That the entries for the other prizes will be numerous we have no doubt, especially since the new alteration, which holds out a more tempting bait to the various college crews. Rumour speaks of a dark sculler from Cambridge, who will not fear to enter the lists with the formidable Mr Casamajor, though, perhaps, more with a view to proving the chance of future success, than of this year wresting from him the championship. We believe that the last, day of entry remains as before. SWANSEA REGATTA. A meeting of the promoters of this resratta was held at the Guildhall, on Friday last, thra mayor in the chair, when the re- quisite number of stewards and committee men were appointed. Amongst the prizes to be offered this year will be The Ladies Challenge Cup, of the value of 100 guineas, won last vear bv the Surprise; the Borough Members' Cup, £ 25, and, it'is expected, a County Members' Cup, for yachts above 45 tons register, will also be given. One of the patrons will be his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, who has liberally subscribed to the funds, which already warrants the expectation that the Swansea Reeatta of 1857 will rank A 1 amongst the aquatic demonstrations of the principality. Full particulars will appear shortly. ROYAL KINGSTON- ON- THAMES~ REGATTA. The weekly meeting of the committee of this regatta was held at the Griffin Hotel, Kingston, on Wednesday week. In con- sequence of the alteration in the days fixed for the Henley Regatta, and to suit the convenience of the University crews, it was decided that the Kingston Regatta should take place on Wednesday aud Thursday, the 1st and 2d July next, instead of on the 23d and 24th of June, as previously announced. The list of races was drawn up, and is published in our advertising columns. CLASPER AND WEIGHT'S SCULLING MATCH for £ 40 A SIDE. — Last Tuesday the match between S. Wright of Norwich and J. H. Clasper of Newcastle came off on the river Yare, and at- tracted multitudes of the citizens down the river. The weather was very fine, the sun shining brightly all the day. From Whit- lingham to Bramerton the banks of the river were lined with people to witness the sport. Numbers of pleasure boats in full sail glided down the river, aud many wherries lay along the banks wherever a good view could be obtained of the match. The best part of the river between Surlingham and Whitling- ham was selected for the match, and the distance to be rowed was about three miles and a half. The competitors were quite young men, Claspsr being only 18 and Wright only 22 years of age. Wright was by far tho stronger man of the two, and in this respect they were unequally matched. During the last nine weeks Mr Britcher has been training Wright, aud he was in constant practice on the river. Ciasper had been trained by his father, and both men were in first- rate condition. The boats were considered to be very fairly matched, Clasper's being the lightest by several pounds, and the longest by four feet. For several weeks past there has been a good deal of even betting Amongst the sporting men of the city, but we did not hear of any bets to a large amount. Iu the afternoon Mr Britcher took down the eight- oared boat which belongs to the grammar school to the place of starting. The stoam packet folio wed conveying the umpire, H. Blake, Esq ( late of Corpus College, Cambridge), and a great number of passengers. The sport was announced for three o'clock, but it was" delayed for more than an hour, and the people began to be very impatient, and talked about the match being a sell. About 4h 25min the rowers tdok their places abreast, near the mill at Surlingham, and the signal being given, they darted off at a rapid pace, which was well kept up, Wright got the best of the start, but in ten strokes Clasper was leading by nearly a quarter of a boat's length. Then came the tug of war; but Wright's superior strength enabled him to pass his competitor, and he gradually took the lead, and at Bramerton he was quite clear. Here a large number of specta- tors had assembled on the heights, from whence they had a good view of the race for a long distance. They descended from the heights as the boats approached, and ran along the banks, cheering the men, who rowed with determined resolution. At Wood's End point Wright had increased his distance to about four boat's length. Then Clasper, by dint of great exertions, drew close up to him, within half a boat's length; they were now nearly close together, when they came in sight of Whitlingham heights, and the excitement of the multitude of spectators became intense. Animated by the cheers and shouts of his friends Clasper made a desperate spurt, and got nearly abreast of his competitor; it was a last determined effort, but it took all the steam out of him. Wright rowed on with untiring energy, and won by a boat's length, amid vociferous cheers. The distance was rowed in 23$ minutes. AVright did not appear at all ex- hausted; when he stopped he jumped ashore, and ran up to the house, followed by his friends, who cheered him all the way. He rowed in a boat built by Messrs Salter of Wands- worth. Clasper was dreadfully beaten; he had to be lifted from his boat, and was carried to the house by his friends, he being too exhausted to walk there. The people cheered him heartily for his pluck. The stakes shall be forwarded to Wright on Tuesday next. THE QUEEN'S PRINTERS' PAIR- OARED RACE,— The mem- bers of the above club contended, in their first match of the season, in heats, on Saturday, the 16th of May, which was, throughout, one of the best races ever rowed by this club. The competitors were accompanied by a steamer, which left Blackfriars with a numerous party on board, and the beauty of the day also attracted a considerable number of the fair sex to witness the match, which was very efficiently conducted by Mr W. Spottiswoode, commodore, and Mr Sheen, the hon secretary. First heat— Orange: Hurran, Weatherall, and Buckie ( cox) 1. Green : Parry, Cane, and Clemeuce ( cox) 2. Pink: Blatchely, Ironside, and C. Smith ( cox) 0. Light Blue : Stotesbury/ Fuller, and Hawker ( cox), 0. The distance was from Putney Bridge to Chiswick Eyot. Pink took the lead, but were soon passed by Orange and Green, who rowed beautifully all the way, Orange defeating Green by about half a length, Pink being also close on to Green. Secoiad heat—^ White : Painting, Oatway, and Hutch- ius ( cox) 1. Red: Palamountain, Ryall, and Shepherd ( cox) 2. Red and White : Ramsay, Williams, and Cooke ( cox) 0. Blue and White: Page, Wilson, and'Harry ( cox) 0. Distance as be- fore. Red took the lead, followed by White and Blue and White. White and Red had a desperate struggle soon after, which lasted till past the Crab Tree. Red then were fouled by a boat in their course, which threw Mr Palamountain off his iead. However, they pulled up pluckily, and came in as above, two lengths astern, Blue and White being third.— Final heat: Orange 1, Green 2, White 3. Distance: From Chiswick to Frank God- frey's, at Mortlake. Red declined starting, through the acci- dent in the other heat. Green took the lead, Orange wresting it from them after rowing 200 yards, aud winning by two lengths after a hard race. TIMES UNITY FOUR- OARED RACE.- This club opened its season on Saturday, May 16, with a capitally contested four- oared race, which unfortunately, however, resulted in a foul. The beautiful weather attracted out so large a party of both sexes that the Childe Harold, chartered to accompany the race, would hardly hold them. The match was from Putney to Barnes Bridge, for silver prizes, and they came in as follows -— White 1, W. Leslie, W. Callan, F. Wing, J. Marriott. J. Read ( cox); Blue 2, C. Cewie. A. Swalthy, J. Poulter. C. Barre. t, J. Parker ( cox); Green 3, C. Simons, R. Tyrell, W. Plume, C. Hales, J. Went ( cox); Red 4, T. Simmonds, C. Chapman, H. Forfar, E. May, G. Gannell ( cox). White took the lead, which was imme- diately wrested from them by Red, who drew half a length in advance at Finch's; Green and White were then oar and oar for 400 yards, when Green drew slightly in front of them, Red being scarcely clear. In this position they continued almost to the Crab Tree, where Red was leading by about half a clear length ; Green then began to set to work, and overlapped them by about two feet, Red being unable to shake them off. They then crossed over towards the point at Hammersmith Bridge, but being so close, Green and Red fouled, during which White drew ahead, followed by Blue, aud they came in as above. Green rowed des- perately after they were disengaged, and almost caught Blue- Red stopped behind after the foul. Mr WENTZELL, of the Ship, Lambeth, having, in addition to that establishment ( where he has so long commanded the respect of the public), taken the Pier Hotel, at the foot of Kew Bridge, intends to give a tradesman's regatta for silver vases, on Monday, 22d June, being a fortnight after Isleworth Regatta. This regatta, though intended to be carried out on the same footing as that at Lambeth, will in no way interfere DOINGS AT HYDE PARE, SHEFFIELD, AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.

The annual Cheltenham College foot races took place on the College Ground, on Wednesday, the 13th inst, before a very large concourse of the gentry and inhabitants of tho town of Cheltenham. The day was remarkably fine, which added greatly to the number of those assembled to witness the games, aud the gay dresses of the ladies, together with the various- coloured uniforms worn by those who contested for the prizes, formed altogether a scene most striking and lively. The games them- selves passed off most satisfactorily, and the splendid running of Messrs Asaton and Gleig, theformerof whom was thedecided hero of the day, excited universal admiration. We cannot also help noticing the beautiful jumping ot Messr. 3 Ashton aud Shirley ; tho former iu the running high jump, the latter in the vaulting with the pole. Subjoined is the list of the various races, with the winners of each. At the conclusion of the game, the prizes were distributed by Mr Tait, who has kindly and most ably filled this office for the last two or three years. Great credit is due to the Rev J. A.

PEDESTRIANISM AT GARRATT- LANE, WANDSWORTH BAINS AND COOKE,— The five miles race for £ io, between Charles Cooke of M. arylebone and a juvenile aspirant to pedes- trian fame named Henry Bains, the latter receiving a start of 400 yards, came off on Monday last, at Mr Sadler's racing course, Garratt- lane, Wandsworth. Cooke has for the last three years exhibited his abilities in a variety of handicaps and single- haud matches, and in the majority of his contests has proved successful; his opponent, on the contrary, is a mere tyro in his profession, if such we may call it, end had previously figured but in one or two trifling handicaps; iu one of which that took place some weeks ago, at Lord's Cricket Ground, he displayed such celerity of motion as induced his backers to come forward and make the present match; however, notwithstanding this, and the long start he was to have, the Marylebone pet stood the favourite previous to starting at 3 to The day was exceed- ingly fine, but the muster of spectators very limited indeed; in fact, the match excited little or no interest, beyond the imme- diate circle of friends and supporters of the contending parties. At a few minutes after five o'clock, both men appeared at their respective scratches, and Mr Sadler having fired the gun— the signal for starting agreed on— away they dashed at a rapid pace. For the first two laps Cooke gained but little, if anything, on his opponent, but from this point he decreased the interval be- tween himself and Bains with wonderful rapidity, so much so, that while traversing the tenth lap he shot ahead of his man, aud so completely outstripped him, that he resigned the contest in the twelfth lap, when Cooke went over the remainder of the distance at his leisure. The first four miles were gone over in 21 min 30sec. The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office on Thursday next, at twelve o'clock. ARNOLD AND BUTCHER.— After the above event had been brought to an issue, an oft- hand spin of 100 yards came off be- tween these men, which was won by Butcher, after a well- con- tested race throughout, by nearly six feet. JAMES CRISP OF MILE- END AND JOHN FORD.— The match between these amateurs was a spin of 120 yards, aud, in betting, the odds were 5 to 4 in favour of Crisp ; but not much of the cir- culating medium was invested on the result. The competitors went off well together, and after a closely contested struggle, Crisp defeated his opponent by three yards. DOINGS AT COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, NEAR MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, MAY 16.— There was a tolerably numerous at- tendance at these grounds this afternoon, and the following events were decided :— WALKER AND SMITH.— E. Walker of Miles Platting and C. Smith of Newton Heath entered the course to run 100 yards, for a small stake. The betting was 2 to 1 on Smith. They went away at the first attempt, the favourite obtaining a slight start. After an excellent struggle Walker passed Smith a few yards from home, and won by six iucnes only. These youths next tried their athletic powers in two spring jumps for a couple of sovs, three jumps behind to lose. Walker again won, Smith falling behind at each attempt. SUTE AND FAN.— These canine competitors are the property of two parties resident at the village of Denton, the prescribed dis- tance being 200 yards, and the stakes £ 10 a side.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— On Monday Baruett and Gadd met here to run their half mile match, for £ 5 a side. Owing to the match being a hasty got up affair there was but a thin atten dance on tlia grounds. Gadd was the favourite at 6 to 4. Barnett is but little known. The men got to scratch, and after a few attempts got away, Barnett at a rattling pace. Gadd had no sooner started than it became apparent he had no chance, for he was quite lame, and after running one lap round his frieuds withdrew him ( they never ought to have allowed him to proceed to scratch, but Gadd stated afterwards he did not think he had been so lame until he began the race); Barnett therefore rant he distance over. F ARK ELL AND BARNETT.— Soon after the above Farnell ( a novice) and Barnett, who had run in the half mile race above- mentioned, appeared at scratch to run six score yards, for £ 3 aside. Betting was level. Both men were pretty equal in age and height. After dodging for a short time the men got away with a level start, and ran even for three score yards, when Faruell took the lead, and ran in a winner by one yard and a half.

PEARSON AND LACEY.— On Saturday, the 16ih inst, a match came off on the Saitash- road, near the Camel's Head Inn, be- tween Mr Harry Pearson, one of the members of the Plymouth Dramatic Corps, and well- known as " Ye Ladye Nancie" in the late Christmas pantomime, and a Mr Lacey, a Knight of th{' Cleaver of Milibrook. The match was for £ 2 a side, the distance 100 yards. No small amount of interest was felt in the race consequence of both parties having attained a state of corpu- lency, which is generally considered to be unfavourable to running; their estimated joint weight being about 32st, the " Knight" having the advantage, or rather disadvantage, of 171b over his opponent. Both came to the scratch at the appointed time in first- rate order, Mr Pearson being decidedly the favourite at lirst, partly on account of his lesser weight, and partly to the great agility which he has so often displayed. At starting, how- ever, the betting was even. After a false start, the two gentle- men went off in capital style, keeping company together until within a short distance of the goal, when the Knight of the Cleaver shot ahead of his opponent, and won cleverly by two yards. The stakes were handed over the same evening at Mrs Willoughby's, White Horse Inn, Westwell- street, CHALVEY.— Ou Monday evening this quiet village oresented a tolerable degree of excitement in consequence of a 100 yards race between W. Norris ( the Doctor) and John Timber, for'£ 5 a side. Norris, who has appeared before in public, gave his opponent three yards start. The betting was very dull, Timber was the favourite at 6 to 4. At the second " move" a most excellent start was effected, and when half of the distance had been tra- versed, Norris had gained through much perseverance nearly a couple of yards out of the start given to his opponent, yet although he strained every muscle to obtain victory, he was vanquished by about four feet, Ou Whit- Monday there will be a foot steeple chase, distance two miles and a" half, open to Chalvey and the immediate neighbourhood. Entries to be made at Mr Howse's, Cross Keys, Chalvey, Bucks. PROFESSOR THOMAS ( the Salopian) has been entertaining large audiences during the past week at Stafford, Lichfield, ana Walsall, with his highly popular calisthenic entertainment, comprising 15 different feats, among which are Saladin's, & c, Richard Coeur de Lion's, Sir Charles Napier's, Omar Pasha's, and many others, with the broadsword. Thomas will visit the Albion Bowling Green, Wolverhampton, to- morrow ( Monday), and Tuesday next; Wednesbury on Wednesday, Bilstou on Thursday, Dudley on Friday, and Stourbridge on Saturday, com- mencing each evening at seven o'clock precisely. HAZLEWOOD AND BRADBURY.— A correspondent informs us that a spin of 100 yards came off between these men on Satur- day, the 16th inst. But he does not state where it came off, nor what was the sum run for. He says Hazlewood won by three yards and a half. COUCOM AND WOODS.— We have not sent the stakes in this match to Coucom, on Tuesday last, as promised, having received a legal notice cautioning us against so doing. BARKER AND WINKLE.— For this match, between J. Barker of Stoke and T. Winkle of Hanley, distance 100 yards, for £ 5 each, Barker to have one yard start inside, Mr Holden has re- ceived £ 3 on the part of Barker, but only £ 2 from Winkle. The articles state that the race shall be decided at the Waterfall Gardens, Endon, on the 1st of June. [ With regard to this con- we inav be attWSS & SSya Yroff! or tWO, andiO take ail extract from the document signed by the men themselves, and duly attested by a witness. So far as the articles and deposits are concerned, the former state that—" £ 1 aside is now staked in the hands of James Holden, who is to be final stakeholder, and the next, of £ 1 a side, on the 9th of May, at J. Barker's Joiners' Arms, Stoke, between seven and nine o'clock; and the next, of £ 1 a side, on the 16th of May, at the Alma, between seven and nine." It is said that Winkle requested Barker's party to postpone his( Winkle's) deposit, due on the 16th, as he had to run against another pedestrian on the 18th, and to this they acceded Barker himself states that, even after this concession, Winkle's frionds intend to claim the money in the hands of the stake- holder. Under the circumstances, both parties are to blame because Barker's backers had no just right to deviate from the articles in allowing Winkle to postpone his deposit. Having well considered the matter, we can only advise each man to draw his own, and make a fresh match ; and we have to tell them as well as others who may be more largely interested in future events, to transmit their money direct, and not through the hands of a third party.] PARKSIDE GROUNDS, HUNSLET, NEAR LEEDS.— The following are the acceptances for the All England Handicap for £ 20, ana other money prizes, which comes off here on the lst and 2d of June.

The 13th deposit, of £ 10 a side, is to be mado at Mr Lipman's, the King of Prussia, Middlesex- street, White- chapel, on Thursday next. CAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM.— This match, after all, has noj been allowed to proceed without an attempted wrangle on the part of Caunt, who has set up a claim for a forfeit at the second deposit, under the following circumstances -.— Last week, Nat Langham, ontheiBorningappoiiitedfortheseconddeposit, staked the amount in our hands previous to the fight between Hayes and Travers, fearing that he would bo unable to get to Cauut's house before ten o'clock, the hour appointed. We, in accordance with our usual practice, and believing that there was nothing special in the articles, at once declared that it would be all right. Nat, however, for greater security, and to prevent any appearance of a desire to slight his antagonist, sent an additional £ 10 to Caunt's house on his arrival in town about half- past eleven. Ben was at Brighton, but his uncle declined to accept the amount; and on the following Friday called at our office to claim forfeit, which we still refused to acknowledge, expressing our belief that the claim was made without Ben's sanction, and that if he really meaut business it was unlikely he would attempt to get out on such a paltry quibble. We have since, however, received a letter from Caunt himself from Brighton, calling our attention to a special extra clause inserted in the articles, which is as follows;—" The deposits to be made between the hours of eight and ten. Each deposit to be made at the house appointed, aud then to bo> forwarded to the final stakeholder, in time to be inserted in the Bell's Life of the Sunday following, either party failing to fortvard the money to forfeit the money down." Oa this specialty Cauut claims a forfeit, stating that as the money was not made good at his house, but given to the final stake- holder, the deposit was not duly posted. We must say we can- not agree with Mr Caunt, that the specialty is sufficient to induce us to forego our invariable rule, which is almost too well known to require repetition. That rule is, that all money placed in the hands of a final stakeholder before the hour appointed for making the deposit, shall be considered as duly posted, just as if it had been put down at the house named. Our readers, and none better than Caunt, know that in all articles there is a stipulation that the money shall be made good at certain houses between the hours of eight aud ten, or the party iailiug to forfeit, and we do not find that his alleged special clause contains any alteration in that stipulation watch cau inve it additional force. The second part of the clause rather teuds to prove that it was not framed for the purpose to which Caunt would stretch it, but for the purpose of securing the money being staked in our hands by the persons with whom it may be deposited in time to be acknowledged in our paper. If Gaunt will take the trouble to search our file for the last four years he will find that invariably iu cases where the money has been iu our hands we have disallowed a forfeit, and we do not, on this occasion, intend to denart from the usual practice, there being nothing in the articles to justify such a course. In the eases of the Tipton Slasher and Broome, the Slasher and Paddock, and several others, claims were set up which were disallowed, and it would be very hard upon the claimants in those cases if on this occa- sion we gave an opposite decision. Wo confess we felt rather surprised that Cauut should be persuaded to set up such a claim, and we are still loth to believe that it was his own doing, 1 f fault there was in the matter, it lay with us; for at the fight between Hayes aud Travers, when Nat Langham staked his money with us, he begged particularly to know whether it was ail right, as he could telegraph to his wife to send to Caunt's to prevent a mistake. Wo assured him, however ( bearing in mind our rule), that he had no cause for anxiety, and he being per- fectly satisfied took no further notice until his arrival in town, when, as above stated, he sent an additional £ 10 to Caunt's to prove that hedid not wish toshowany waut of feeling. Caunt says, what istheuseofarticlesif they are not strictly adhered to? and as to the parts that relate totheactual fight, the time, the place, & c, we agree with him. As to the part relating to deposits, however, we do not aud cannot coincide with him. The clauses on this sub- ject are merely inserted to secure the deposits being eventually placed iu the hands of the final stakeholder, and for no other pur- pose that we can recognise. That purpose on the present occasion was secured by Nat Langham placing the money itself in our hands, aud with that arrangement we are satisfied, and if Ben Caunt is r.' allv in earnest about the match he will also be content, and not raise any more frivolous claims. We have spoken to many old sportsmeu and pugilists of the old school, long retired from the Ring, who are of our own way of thinking, and the articles themselves we submitted to a conveyancer and equity lawyer, who, like ourselves, was of opinion that the special clause did not in any way add force to tbe original articles. The match must now go on as if nothing had happened. The next deposit is to be made at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane, on the 27th inst. BOB BRETTLE OP BIRMINGHAM AND POSH PRICE OF WEST- BROMWICH.— These meu are matched to fight at 10st 6lb, for £ 100 a side, to come off in four months after Brettle's fight with Cobley. £ 5 a side is down, and a meeting is to take place at Brettle's on Tuesday three weeks, to draw up articles, and make the money up to £ 20 a side.

Bob Brettle, we hear, has taken a bet of £ 100 to £ 80 that Cobley beats him. George Crockett intended at his benefit, which will take place on Tuesday, June 2, at Mr G. Garman's, Marquis of Granby, Union- street, Borough, to bid a final adieu to the Ring, but a few staunch friends who have heard of the bold sayings of Boss Tyler are anxious to put his vauntings to the test, and therefore if Boss Tyler means business he has only to meet him at Bell's Life office on Friday, June 5, or at the above house on June 2, and a match can be made to fight at lOst, for £ 100 a side or any larger amount that Boss may wish. Crockett says he means business, and both himself and money are forthcoming. If this challenge is not accepted Crockett's original intention of retiring will be carried out, and any future challenge will be useless. Tyler says he cannot make a match at any weight above 9st 10lb. Jemmy Welsh will make a match to fight Massey if he will stake £ 100 to £ 80, which he thinks Massey cannot object to, being the " conqueror" twice. On these terms Massey can be what weight he likes.

BILL HAYES'S BENEFIT.— This veteran, on the principle of striking while the iron is hot, has fixed his benefit for Tuesday evening next, being the night before the Derby. It will take place at the Chandos- street Rooms, and Bill has received pro- mises from all his old pals and most of his opponents to ceme forward and assist him. He and Bob Travers will fight their battle over again, and tbe sparring altogether promises to be ; of the A1 character. Bill, as we stated last week, has now : retired finally from the P. R., and says all challenges in future will be useless. We do sincerely hope that the gallant fellow will meet with that support to which his unvarying good con- duct, and his efforts at all hazards to gain the confidence of his ; backers, so justly entitle him. He is, as we have before said, in anything but flourishing circumstances. He seldom intrudes himself upon the public as a benefit- taker, and has therefore a strong claim upon the sporting public. CHARLEY AISTROP.— On behalf of this veteran fancier of the Old School, we inserted an appeal on the 3d inst, which has been met by a response from one or two of Aistrop's former patrons. A little more of the " needful" would enable hiia to embark in a small business, and save him the sad alternative of a work- house. For the last twenty- seven years he has been a publican, and we trust there are still a few brother bungs who will not withhold their mite on this occasion. As a fancier, he has proved the " glory and delight" of the sporting world, his attractions at the Westminster Theatre would fill volumes, and ! as a supporter of the Prize Ring, few have done more. To it, he introduced some first- class men. Contributions will be received by Prank Redmond or Jem Burn, Rising Sun, Air- street, Piccadilly, or Owen Swift, Horseshoe, Tichborne- street.

On Tuesday and Thursday, the 12th and 14th inst, this annual match was played, and resulted in the defeat of the Eleven. They were certainly very unfortunate in not having Mr Strong to play for them, as he is a very steady bat. Mr Carpenter played very well for his 51 runs, and without losing his wicket in either innings ; and Mr Humphreys played and ran well for his 21. The fielding of the Seven was good throughout, and the bowling of Mr Linton in the first innings first- rate. Mr Prichard equalled the first innings of the Eleven off his own bat; but the match was chiefly won by the steady play of Messrs Barclay and Monro in the second innings.

When the stumps were drawn on Saturday evening, the eleven were found to be 83 runs behind their opponents, and consequently had to follow their innings, it being considered as much as they would do to save the one innings. On Monday the Eleven entered on their task with an evident determination of doing rather more than this, and before the fourth wicket fell they not only collared but were steadily heading their opponents. Mr Morley was found by this time to be well in, stopping the " good- uns" and giving the " loose- uns" a crack. When time was called 99 had been scored to this gentleman, and on Tuesday he finished his re- markably fine innings of 135, which comprised one seven ( a drive), two sixes, four fives, ten fours, seven threes, seven twos, and the rest singles j throughout his whole innings he did not give a decided chance. On the side of the Eleven, Messrs Bradford, Bonney, Pigott, and Trevor played well for their respective scores, and on the side of the Masters, Messrs Tomkinson, Scott, Bright, and Bull showed somo good cricket.

This was a two days' match, played on the Christ Church Ground, on the 13th and 14th instant. Owing to the long scores made on both sides it was not finished when the stumps were drawn on Thursday night. The Christ Church eleven were minus the service of some of their best players, and were very weak in their bowling, which accounts for the length of their ad- versaries' score. Score: CHRIST CHURCH.

CAMBRIDGE V SURREY. Expectation ran high to witness this match— seven Gentlemen of the University with four Players of the town against the county of Surrey— arranged to commence on Fenner's Ground on Monday last. The published lists embraced names of such emi- nence in the cricketing world that the anticipations of a treat were not likely to meet with a check, although casualties might lessen the chance of a victory which the watchers of events are ever ready to predict for their favourites. The contending spirits— so it appeared to us— were most evenly matched ; the ground was perfection, and the day a gem. The choice of in- nings fell to Surrey, who judiciously took advantage of the smoothness of the ground, Caesar and Mr Burbidge having the honour to pioneer the way against the bowling of Arnold and Reynolds. There was some capital play and unmistakeabie symptoms of scoring, when the first wicket fell for 19 runs. Stephenson followed, and was playing in earnest, when the " telly " trumpeted forth 37 runs ; two wickets. Caffyn stepped in, and his first hit— a sixer— proclaimed his confidence. Some lively play, exhibiting the best points of cricket, carried the score on ; three wickets, 69 runs, Lockyer's turn came next, and the batting for a time got the upper hand— four wickets, 103 runs. Mr Miller assisted by a neat innings of 11; five wickets, 126 runs, the play sobering down and the wickets dropping in tolerable order. Six for 129 runs. Martingell a steady 11, seven for 143; eight for 154, nine for 155, and tha last for 165. There was no time wasted, Mr Marshall and Diver were at their posts, Martingell and Stephenson the assailants. Diver was just getting in when an unfortunate run out— a close shave— and the first wicket showed 6 runs. Mr Makinson waa now " the observed of all;" his late cricket had made his name familiar, and expectation was on stilts. A well- got seven and the ball taking an aerial flight, descended cozily into the hands of Mr Miller; two wickets, 16 run3. Bell followed and began merrily, as is his wont; some of his hits were beautiful, and the score looked more healthy. A five, three fours, & c, graced his innings, which an unfortunate run out closed for 23; three wickets, 49 runs. Mr Wing field ( who had beencut over before the match commenced, and was still suffering) walked up and back again; score unaltered. Mr Hammond's turn now came, and Mr Marshall, who had been at the wicket from the first, after adding another run to an iunings of great steadiness, fell to Martingell; five wickets for 50 runs. Mr Johnson filled the gap, and was expected to render service— if general play is a criterion — but fate had secured him iu her trammels, and a shocking run out made the score 55 for six wickets. Mr Fuller essayed to stem the tide, butits violence overpowered him, and seven wickets marked 58. Mr Perkins joined Hammond, the pair being in together, aud playing well, when the stumps were drawn for the day, the score standing seven wickets, 70 runs. TUESDAY.— A more magnificent morning never greeted man, and with the punctuality of time itself, play was resumed at 11: 30. Mr Hammond, who had played throughout most excel- lently, was ably assisted by Mr Perkins, and the score went up 89 for eight wickets. Arnold tried his hand, and the innings mounted to 111, for nine wickets, when Mr Hammond fell to Caffyn for a splendidly got score of 27. Reynolds bowed to Ar- nold, whose sympathy for his brother bowler was so strong that he preferred surrendering himself to Caffyn rather than distress his friend, Reynolds carrying out his bat for nil; the gross score 112. What the innings might have been, but for the running out of Diver, Bell, and Mr Johnson, when they were evidently iu for runs, is got our province to discuss ; it will suffice to show that there were such accidents, without specu- lating upon their consequences, Surrey started with Caffyn and Mr Beard. A fine ball from Bell freed Caffyn, and the first wicket fell for 5. Mr Burbidge took the bat, and after some steady and really good play, the second wicket fell for 19. Stephenson was third man, and began earnestly, scoring 8 ( another run out); three wickets, 24 runs. Crosar flew in vain to the rescue ; four wickets, 29 runs. Lockyer struggled, but the die seemed cast; five wickets, 30 runs. Mr Miller showed but to make his mark aud retire; six wickets, 33 runs. Moody's spright- liness was cut short; seven wickets, 34 runs. Mr Vyse made the only stand, and with Martingell tried hard to restore things; eight wickets, 40 runs; nine wickets, 08 runs. Mr Christie, the last wicket, run out; score unchanged. Cambridge now wanted 122 runs to win, and with high hopes, started upon the task Mr Marshall and Reynolds. The latter not liking the bowling, quietly retired; one wicket, 1 run, Mr Makinson began well, the greatest anxiety being manifested by all. The bowl- ing was first class, even the steadiness of Marshall gave way, and the second wicket fell for 10. Mr Makinson was joined by Diver, and for a few moments again all was hope and sunshine. Both players had settled down to their work, and everything was cricket. An ever- lively field spurred on by fresh labour became more energetic and watch- ful, the inimitable Lockyer surpassing himself. Mr Makihson had scored 11, when a hard drive forward, partially stopped by the umpire, who could not escape his " fix," caused him to be run out; three wickets, 23 runs. There were whisperings of hope still heard just above the buzz of excitement, and Bell, who had gone to the wicket, fed the deception by an appear- ance of confidence which ought to win if it didn't; another wicket, and no change in score. The vacant place was taken by Mr Wingfield, who scored a two, and was admirably caught by Lockyer at wicket; five wickets, 25 runs. Faces were getting longer, and every move in the game was watched with intense interest. Mr Hammond filled the sixth place, and immediately lost tbe company of Bell, who had just made one of his own fours ; six wickets, 34 runs. Mr Johnson now offered his ser- vices, and with his partner played spiritedly, but these friendly intentions came too late. By very skilful play the score was trotted up to 52 in the next; the seventh wicket fell. The last ray of hope had now fled. Nothing short of a miracle could effect a result which was as palpable as the effort to avert it; eight wickets 59 runs. The ninth wicket fell for 60, and the last for 65, leaving the Surrey winners by 56 runs. However dis- appointing to be losers, every true lover of cricket must have been gratified by the excellence which in all departments were the leading features of this match. The bowliug on all sides, the fielding generally, and the wicket keeping of Lockyer, par- ticularly deserved and received the admiring plaudits of all who witnessed the match, and whose hope, as true cricketers, from the beginning, was that " the best men might win."

On Monday and Tuesday, 18th and 19th of May, the Eleven of Cheltenham College made their first appearance on the Marl- borough Ground, and not wits! anding the ground was new to them, after an excellent match, defeated the Marlburians by four wickets. Cheltenham handled the willow first, but the first two or three wickets went down quickly. Messrs Butler and Hulton, however, soon showed them that a bad beginning makes a good end. Messrs Hulton and Johnson hit the ball all over the field, while Mr Butler was very steadily playing the game for singles, till he scored 51, carrying out his bat amidst cheers. The innings closed for 157. Marlborough then went in, but owing to the excellent bowling of their opponents, could only score 71. They had in consequence to follow their innings, and, as is often the case, made a capital score of 158, of which Mr Morley, the captain made 50 by very excellent play. Great credit is due not only to the Captain, but also to Messrs Brereton, Trevor, W. H. Wright, and Pigott having to play such an up- hill game. Cheltenham had 73 to win, which they got for the loss of six wickets. Mr Ashton deserves especial notice for his score of 22, which was well got; he unfortunately played a ball up in his own face, and was disabled. Messrs Price and Hutton also played steadily, the latter carrying out his bat, in company with Mr Lloyd. The fielding was excellent on both sides, the ground being in beau- tiful order. Mr Morley's wicket- keeping deserves especial notice; the bowling was also quite up to the mark on both sides; in fact there was good cricket shown by both parties, doing credit to their professionals ( James Lillywhite for Cheltenham, Dean and Bell for Marlborough).

It is a singular fatality— but as far back as our memory can lead us, we do not recollect this match being favoured by auspicious weather. We had been revelling in undisturbed sunshine for weeks, when, lo! the Marylebone put in their ap- pearance, and that moment the sun withdraws his. A gloomy morning gave indications of a change, and no sooner had the M. C. C. ( who had taken innings) placed Mr Nicholson ana Dean at their posts, than a mild rain set in, and for a time put a stop to all progress. In about an hour play was resumed, and by dinner, the score had reached 103 runs for five wickets. By a good display of cricket, the " tottle" realised 182 runs— an excellent innings, to which there many contributors, Royston, by judicious play, put on 31 ( not out), Grundy a neat 20, Mr Gordon a steady 19, Mr Nicholson a cricketer's 17, Mr Hill 18, and Dean 10. The bowling of the University was wanting in that precision and spice to which, in the days of Mr Kenapson, we had become familiar. In all other points the Cambridge Eleven is a pretty strong one; but, as faithful chroniclers we are bound to say the bowling lacks that destructive quality which we have found in a long experience to be one of the chief elements of a cricketing success. This by the way; let attention be given to that department— raise it, in fact, to the standard reached in all others, and we shall be disposed to predict with something like confidence. The University began their innings with Messrs Puller and Marshall, and when the play ceased, 66 runs had been secured with the loss of five wickets. Mr Fuller made aa admirable innings of 32, Mr Makiason played finely, while in, for 12, Mr Wingfield 6, & c. . FRIDAY.— The match was resumed this morning shortly after eleven o'clock, and was kept up with spirit until the weather stopped proceedings, the University having lost sevea wickets for 120 runs, Mr Tomblin scoring a vicious 31 ( not out), and Lord Royston a good innings ( not out) 12. ihe rain falling continuously throughout the remainder of the day, the match was drawn by mutual consent.

This match was commenced at the Oval on Thursday. The weather was very unfavourable, and play was delayed until one o'clock in consequence. Among the numbers present we noticed the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, Lord Strathmore, Hon R, Grimston, Hon Chandos Leigh, and others. It will be seen that the United availed themselves of the opportunity of securing a good eleven to meet their opponents by obtaining the services of Ctesar and Stephenson of the All England Eleven. This was in consequence of Dean and Grundy being engaged to play for the M. C. C. at Cambridge, and Bell being unable to leave Win- chester. Only six of this Eleven will contend against their powerful opponents on Whit Monday, and as the ground is of a different nature from that at Lord's, the allusion made elsewhere with re- gard to the two bowlers for the Brigade, was very wisely treated according to its value. We are much pleased in again seeing Mr Havgarth in the field, who on this occasion scored 71 in first rate style. Shortly before seven o'clock the Eleven were dis- posed of for the score of 209. On Friday no play took place, owing to rain; and in conse- quence of the Brigade not being able to attend on Saturday, the match is drawn. UNITED ELEVEN. H. Stephenson, b Bickley 12 T.

The annual feast to the earthstoppers was given on Tuesday last at the Kennels, at Tubney, by J. Morrell, Esq, the master. About a hundred sat down, under the auspices, as chairman, ot Mr Clarke, the popular and much- respected huntsman, and an exceedingly merry evening they had of it. In proposing the loyal toasts, the chairman made allusion to the coming out in the past season of the Prince of Wales, and he hoped the young members of that illustrious family would make good foxhunters. The to? st of the " Master of the Hounds" was received and re- sponded to in a manner that must have astonished some of the young cubs in the neighbouring coverts. In giving ' The Earthstoppers," the chairman said that in foxhunting several things were wanting— a liberal master, a good pack ot hounds, a good country, and of course plenty of foxes, and another very necessary thing, good earthstoppers and preservers; and he thought, from the sport they had shown, they had no complaint to make, for in the past season they had hunted 105 days, killed 90 foxes, and run 36 to ground. A bumper was accorded to the chairman with enthusiastic cheers. THE ATHERSTONE HOUNDS. ME EDITOB : A copy of Bell's Life in London of the 3d May last has been sent to me, containing a letter from " A Sports- man." It is headed, " The Atherstone ( Mr Selby Lowndes s) Hounds." As it is evident that I am the person alluded to in that letter as " an Ex M. P., in whose coverts it is currently re- ported that 16 foxes were destroyed last season, & c, I shall be glad if you will inform me who your correspondent is ( as I see he has enclosed his card), that I may learn of him from whence he obtained his information. I have made inquiries on the sub- iect from my keeper, who informs me that the report in ques- tion is totally devoid of truth, and that so far as he is aware, no fox was destroyed last season about the place. I should be very sorry that the Atherstone Hounds drew my coverts at any time without finding, and I am quite sure that if the woodland country were properly hunted, and by this I mean at least three times a fortnight, the hunt would never be at a loss for sport.— Yours, & c, W, S, DVGDAKB, Meriyale, Ath? r § t<? ne5 May 12j RACING IN_ FRANCE. CHANTILLY RACES. ( FBOM OUR OWN COREESPONDENT.) The first day of the spring races at Chantilly opened in its usual quiet manner, none but the veriest sportsman or persons interested in the stables would ever have imagined it to be " racing time," As noon approached, however, the various trains from Paris deposited a certain amount of the " essential commodity," and the town began to exhibit a somewhat sport- ing appearance, whilst here and there the descent of provincial vehicles bespoke a fete, at any rate, if nothing more. The stands, of course, were empty or next to it; but that is a matter concerning the authorities more interested in the receipts than ourselves, and time and agitation will work, no deubt, a change beneficial to all interests. A goodly sprinkling of car- riages and a very fair average of general company proclaimed the satisfaction, and, at the same time, willing patronage of the public, who are all, more or less, admirers of the sport. Chantilly might be made all that could be desired as a train- ing and racing place, though it is at present anything but what it should be. The ground to- day was very hard indeed, harder than the new ground at Paris, and unless some rain falls ' twixt this and Sunday, some changes most unexpected may take place before the great Derby race. The card presented a goodly appearance, but an abomination of a heat race, spun into four, from the rider of the winner mistaking the winning post in one heat, and being nearly left at the post in another, disgraced the whole affair. Heat races must be abolished and long distances substituted; the latter serve to show the staying powers of a horse over a distance of ground, whilst the former but serve to show how good horses may be beaten by bad ones, and how both good and bad are " worsttd" afterwards. The juvenile Pantal on Fidelity won the Selling Race easily. The Prix du Gros- chene, a new race, was quite a treat. We have been so long accustomed to the horrid " roundabout" courses of this country that a straight half- mile at weight for age— a proper tester of speed— was a novelty little to be expected here. The start, however, was very badly managed, and the winner, Brassia, who was offered to be sold " for a song," and not backed for a shilling of course, won in a canter; she was on her legs and in full stride when the start took place, and was sever caught; three were behind who ran to our mind more for the Prix des Ecuries or the Prix de l'Empereur— handicaps a little later— they never " came ani'gh." The great excitement of the day was centred in the Prix de Diana, or the French Oaks, which is a most interesting race, inasmuch as the same animals generally run for the Derby afterwards, or have stable companions to do so, and the per- formances are scanned with the greatest interest. The defeat of Paladin at Paris had shaken the faith of the partisans of M Lupin's stable, and a probable repetition was not unexpected to- day; nevertheless, M6sange held her position firm, and but for the sudden determination of the stable of th8 Prince de Beauvau to pull out the Duchess, she would have been backed no doubt up to the post at evens against the field. Duchess had been " off" for some time, and did not show at all to advantage at the post; moreover, she was suffering from a sentiment peculiar to her sex, at this season of the year more particularly, but on dit whispers that a " line" was wanting to the stable whereby to test the merits of a " dark flyer" long amiss, but coming to again, in whom the " stable mind's" belief is strong as ever. The favourite fell back from evens to 5 and 6 to 4 against him, and 5 to 2 was taken about Duchess. Madame de Ch& ntilly had but few supporters, al- though the odds of 4 to 1 were liberal in the extreme, seeing that these three alone composed the field, inasmuch as the brace from the stable of Madame Latache de Fay might as well have been in their boxes for all the probability they had of winning; their only object, moreover, appearing to be to make a pace for the Count de Lagrange's filly, which, by the by, they were not able to sustain at all, being out of the race at the Stables. Madame de Chantilly alone was in any " form," and taking up the running after the first half mile, won as she liked; Duchess ran gamely to the end, but M6sange, like Paladin at Paris, never had a chance. Such a revolution in the racing favouritism was scarcely ever seen, and although Florin— who is really a good performer in public— keeps his place as favourite, the stable of the Count de Lagrange, consider this race as over, having three strings to their bow in Mademoiselle de Chantilly, Claire, aud Brutus, the latter their favourite at 3 to 1. Florin is M Lupin's only hope now, whilst a patched up representative of the stables of Madame Latache de Fay and the Prince de Beauvau seems all that can be expected to dispute the prize; any other outsider is unlooked for. The Prix des Haras proved a most interesting race, the antagonism of Monarque and Lion, the Derby winners of 1855 and 1856, being quite unexpected. Monarque got an allowance of 3lb as being out of a French bred mare, and conse- quently met Lion at 21b only for the year. Odds were laid very freely upon Monarque, and he justified the confidence of his backers by winning very cleverly, although it looked very much like a " race" at the distance. A match between a brace of two year olds wound up the day's performance, of which below are the details.

After rounding the Reservoir turn, Mdme de Chantilly moved to the front, and at the Stables took the lead from Valna, who fell back beaten, Duchess and Mesange at the same time running into the second and third places, Miss Elthiron also having retired upon rising the hill. Mdme de Chantilly came with a clear lead into the straight going, and Mosange dying away, Duchess alone was left with a chance of overtaking her; at the Stand she made a vigorous effort, but never getting up, was beaten easily by two lengths, Mcsange a bad third, and the two others beaten off.

LA MARCHE GRAND MILITARY STEEPLE CHASES- [ PBOM OUB OWN COBBESPONDEirx]. The- Grand Military Steeple Chase went off with eclat, al- though the race was quite spoiled by a most unaccountable start being allowed good, which, but for the cries of " Go on,'' which induced the different riders who had pulled up to start again and follow the leader— who also was stopping his horse- would have ended in a sort of walk over for The Dean, who never could have been caught, considering the distance he was in advance. The horses were scattered all over the course, some rounding the top turn, whilst the others were at the bottom turn, and tumbling in all directions. The winner— who was ridden most j udiciously— after his accident at the bank, gradually made up his ground, and when The Dean and Forest Xing, who made all the running, were " told out," passed them one after the otner, and won in a canter. Horniblow, but for his first mistake, would have been there or thereabouts, his fencing was perfection. The horses all being knocked out of time, could not be brought out for the second race, which ended in a walk over. WEDNESDAY, MAT 20.- A GBAHD MILITABT STEEPLE CHASE ( Handicap) of 5,000f, added to a Sweepstakes of 375f, 250f ft; open to all horses ; to be ridden by officers of the French or English armies on full pay, or members of the French Jockey Club ; 6,000 metres ( 3m 6fur); 13 subs.

After a very bad start, in whieh The Dean got within 100 or 200 yards of the last horse, they came one by one to the first fence, Kil- kenny Boy, Horniblow, Forest King, Johnny Raw, Flying Buck, Cigarette, and Laura following the leader in the order named. All got over, but most in a very scrambling manner on account of the bad pace caused by the incertitude about the start being a true one. When coming out . from behind the Chateau, Forest King rushed to the front, and cleared the dry ditch about a length in advance of The Dean, Cigarette, Horniblow, and Johnny Raw close together, FlyingBuck, Kilkenny Boy, and Laura bring- ing up the rear. At the big bankthe accidents began by Horniblow jumping right over it and falling on the other side, Johnny Raw also comiug to grief at the same moment and nearly upsetting Cigarette, who was soon, however, at work again, but not so Horniblow and Johnny Raw, who lost some little time : in the meantime The Dean, Forest King, and Flying Buck, making no mistake, went on with a strong lead for the fences on the coHrse and to the brook before the Stands. The Dean was first over, followed by Forest King, then safely over, but Flying Buck came down a burster, and as he rose was nearly jumped on by Cigarette ; the latter blundered, but was soon righted and out of the way before Kilkenny Boy, Horniblow, Johnny Raw, and Laura came at it. Before reaching the big bank the second time, Flying Buck was pulled up, and Johnny Raw and Laura had had enough, whilst The Dean, closely attended by Forest King, kept up a steady pace and catne with a clear lead at the water the second time ; both got well over, as also did Cigarette and Horniblow, but Kilkenny Boy fell whilst full of running, and rolled over on to his side. He was set going again, but without any chance of overtaking the leading four horses to whom the race was now confined ; at the garden fence, Cigarette passed Forest King, who was quite " pumped out," and Horni- blow improved his position before arriving the last time at the bank, which The Dean cleared two lengths in advance of Ci- garette ; Horniblow got well over, but Forest King only just crawled over, and Kilkenny Boy fell once more ; in the mean- time Cigarette drew gradually up to The Dean, challenged him when over the last hurdles, and won in a canter by three or four lengths, Horniblow beaten twice as far, and Forest King as far from the third. SECOND STEEPLE CHASE ( Handicap) of 2,000f added to a Sweep- stakes of 250f, h ft, open to all horses, ridden by officers of the French or English armies; 4,000 metres ( 2m 4fur); 8 subs.

MONDAY, MAT 18.— This meeting was not as successful as it undoubtedly would have been had it taken place earlier in the season. The entries for the different races were few, and of an indifferent class. The handicapping of the principal race also helped to spoil the sport, being intrusted to very incompetent hands, the consequence of which was that three horses only ac- cepted for it, the weights commencing with list on the Blind Harper, a mere pony, who was made to give 41b to Escape, who beat him in a canter at Mullingar a week or two ago at almost even weights. As might be anticipated the race was all one way, Escape winning without an effort. For the Trim Chal- lenge Cup, L'Etoile was the favourite, but he fenced badly and was easily defeated by Master Frank, the cheering for whose success bespoke the popularity of his owner. The Heiress after- wards placed the Selling Stakes to the credit of her owner. The course was rather circumscribed and as hard as iron.
