But whose appearance won the admiration of thousands on the Derby day, and what tradesman won the most enduring fame for DRESS, distinguished for style and com' fort ? As on all former occasions, that honour was awarded to E. MOSES and SON, whose productions are so graceful, elegant, and use- ful, that tliey win popularity everywhere. Their summer stock is the largest, and at the same time the most seasonable, ever presented.

Moses and Son have now ready the most unparalleled stock, of every fashionable description of attire for young gentlemen and children In accordance with long- es- tablished ; prineiples, the utmost attention and the highest class talent is employed on this and all other departments of dress, which is the reason why these goods always win so much approbation, and give such univer- sal satisfaction. The HOSIERY' for ladies and gentlemen, offered by E. Moses and Son at very moderate prices, has won the encomiums of the widest circle of patrons any house could ever boast.

PHARMACEUTICAL POISONS.— People of England! In the consideration of this question, bear in mind that but for the deadly poisons of doctors, their guinea and other fees would be at an end; that, in short, the art of healing would, but for sucli poisons, be within the reach of all persons without payment to the doctor. This, Hygeists contend, is a true statement of the case. They, therefore, most solemnly protest against the Poison Bill brought into the House of Lords for the following reasons:— 1. Because by that bill doctors are allowed to be the principal dealers in, and administrators of, deadly poisons. 2. Because there can be safety for no one whilst this is allowed. 8. Because the country will be kept in constant terror by such poisons, some from fear of being poisoned " medicinally" or by mistake, others from the design of the wicked, and others from unjust charges of poisoning which may lead them to the scaffold. 4. Because it is in the power of a designing and wicked society of men to work by means of poisons the downfall of England.— Issuhd by the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New- road, London, this 23d day of May, a. d. 1857, for the Society of Hygeists.— N.

The fact is, that in France the existing system is the result of that imper- tinent interference of the Government which makes itself felt in every matter public or private. Except in the single article of contracts, the French law refuses to acknowledge an individual to . have any rights except with the consent and under the control of the Government, and this is the sort of law which the clamourers we have described at the beginning of this article are anxious to introduce into this country. The affectation of imitating everything French has corrupted many Englishmen, but here the affectation has its convenience, for the proposers of this change in the law are thereby saved from troubling themselves to find arguments for what they propose. To the question, " Why do you wish for the change?" the answer which extricates them from the difficulty to finding a reason is, " Oh, the French law is different." The unreasoning or the compelled habits of another nation are given as a proof that our own are bad. But this is not all, even on this one point of the case. The statement relied on is a fallacy. The husband who would pocket his damages ( if he got any) without shame at the cause which had compelled him to become a plain tiff is precisely the hus- band whose own bad conduct would get him no damages at all. If a husband obtains damages they bring no shame to him, for they are in reality, though not in the consideration of the law, the punishment inflicted on the wrong- doer. To say thatthe husband should feel ashamed of pocketing them is as correct to fancy that if the cour t ordered the wrong- doer to be whipped the husband ought to feel ashamed of the whipping. The damages stand in identi- cally the same relation to the case as the whipping would stand if an English court could order it to be inflicted. If, indeed, the damages given are contemptible, then the husband may well feel ashamed, but for a reason very different from that which these clamourers adopt. Very small damages indicate the opinion of the court and jury that his conduct as a husband has been such as to excuse his wife in leaving him. But this is not the case in which the Frenchman's fine taste couples shame to the husband with the damages given— what he wants is to pre- vent the seducer from being liable to pay any damages. The vice is to exist without the retribution. The doctrine is conve- nient to some men, but it is not just in itself, nor would it be conducive to the good of society. The fear of damages arrests many a profligate reckless as to everything else. Lord Campbell is one of those who has been carried away by the recent clamour for alteration, and has so far lost his self- possession as to tell the house,'' These cases were mere sham pro- ceedings undertaken in order to comply with the order of the House of Lords requiring some evidence of damages being re- covered." Does he really believe that the payment of the damages is never enforced, but that the defendant is untroubled about them, the vengeance of the husband left ungratified, and | the punishment of the adulterer uninflicted? If he can en- ! tertain such an opinion he had better ask the attornies who have ; conducted such suits what they say to the matter. They will : speedily correct his error. But even Lord Campbell is not for : the unqualified abolition of a proceeding which he, neverthe- less, thinks " is merely a display of indecency tending to cor- : rupt morals." At the end of his speech he says, " However, he j hoped that the action would not be simply swept away. He should vote for the amendment of Lord Lyndhurst, but he should do so with the understanding that some substitute, similar in principle to that given notice of by Lord St Leonards, should be brought forward. The offence ought to be treated as a crime." So that the " display of indecency" is to be pre- served, but not for the benefit of anyone, except the State, which is to receive the fine, and the persons who are to hear the trial. And this brings us to another view of the question. Make the matter a mere matter of public prosecution, and you almost give immunity to the vice. Perhaps this is the aim of the advocates of the change. We incliue to think it is. Certainly this would be its result. And again, if a prosecution is to be instituted, instead of an action being brought, do these clamourers for change fancy that all the offensive details of such a trial could be spared to a court of justice and the public? Those details must still begone into; they can only he avoided by the offender being allowed to go scot free. The delicacy which the Frenchman seems so anxious to preserve must still be endangered as before. Remembering all these things, we warmly applaud the bill of the Lord Chancellor for allowing the right to maintain this action to remain undisturbed. But we should like to see the form of it altered. The only part of Lord Lyndliurst's argument which really is to be attributed to that most distinguished person is that which censures the present form of action as leaving the wife unnoticed and de- fenceless, though everything that is dear to her depends on the verdict, and though she may possibly be an innocent and slan- dered woman. This is, indeed, a crying evil, and it ought to be \ amended. Can there be no scheme devised by which the wife j shall have a right to appear as au independent party, the costs she incurs to be in the discretion of the court, and payable by either party, or by both, according as circumstances may re- quire ? This is worth considering. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE PROBATE COURT. The Lord Chancellor has been active in the cause of law re. form during the past week. He has proposed a bill for consti- tuting a new jurisdiction in the matter of wills, and a new law as to divorce. Both matters were well deserving of his care* The former had been in such a state of confusion as could hardly have been imagined in a country which boasted of its laws, its freedom, and its good sense. A will as to personalty could only be set aside ( on account, for instance, of the insanity of the testator) in the Ecclesiastical Court— it could only be so set aside as to real property in a court of common law, while the trusts which it might create could only be enforced through the medium of a court of equity. Three different tribunals, all aud each set in motion by the institution of a separate and independent suit, might thus be dealing at the same time with one will, and no one of them could hand over its jurisdiction to the other, nor hardly give that other any assistance, or prevent any delay or expense. The origin of this absurdity is plain enough, but we need not consider it here. A new court is to be instituted, and to that alone, it seems, is to be referred some, at least, of this complicated triple jurisdiction. SIGNALS AT SEA. Lord Yarborough, in a very sensible letter addressed to the newspapers, tells the history of the late accident to hi3 yacht, and then adds a postscript on a matter of most important inte- rest. While his vessel was in danger he fired rocket signals. No notice was taken of them, and no assistance rendered him. On reaching shore he noticed this fact, and was then told by the coast guard officer that rockets were never noticed, as steam vessels passing each other so often fired them. It is plain that this practice, which may thus render ineffectual any attempt to obtain relief for a ship in distress, ought to bo abandoned. It is not objectionable that steamboats belonging to the same com- pany, or often traversing the same line of route, should make known to each other the fact of their passing; but it is a matter which deeply concerns the public welfare, that the mode of re- cognition should not be one which is appropriately adopted for purposes of safety. If the Trinity House regulations have not as yet provided for this matter, they should do so at once. There should be nothing to render doubtful the outcry of an endangered vessel for help. A very little ingenuity is required for the owners of steam vessels to agree on signals of recognition which can in no instance be mistaken for signals of distress. SWITZERLAND AND THE PRUSSIAN KING. The Neufchatei dispute is now said t ® be settled. The Moni- teur, which has all along attempted to play the game of the King, now says that the King formally renounces the rights of sovereignty " which treaties had given him over that princi" pality." This statement is one of those perversions of the truth which are Eoost discreditable to those who employ them. Before the treaty of Tilsit the King of Prussia had sovereign rights over Neufcbatel, given him by previous treaties, but since then he has had none. By the treaty of Tilsit he surrendered them to Napoleon. In 1815 he formally resumed, by the 23d article of the treaty of Vienna, the possession of those rights, and by the 75th article ( of the very same treaty) expressly gave up what he had thus, as a mere formality, resumed. Since the treaty of Vienna he has had no sovereign rights over Neufchatel, and his late attempt to repossess himself of that canton, by insurrection first and war afterwards, is one of the most disgraceful acts of the age. We refer our readers to our foreign intelligence for a short and interesting sketch taken from The Times correspon- dent's letter of the last meeting of the Paris Conferences on this subject. The Neufchatel affair is now, it is to be hoped, at an end, and so is the character which this King of Prussia once possessed for honour and truthfulness. Lord Cowley and the English Government seem to have acted with great propriety in the matter. THE DIVORCE BILL. There are certain men resembling the fly on the outside of th dome of St Paul's. They form an opinion on the part of the dome where they are standing, and which is directly before their eyes, and then pronounce that opinion as one which relates to the whole of the architecture. Or they resemble the traveller, who, going into a country where rain accompanied him during the whole five days of his stay, definitively pronounced that there never was any fine weather in that country. The men who are now shouting out for the abolition of the action of crim. con. are men of that sort. How they ever got Lord Lyndhurst to be their champion, is a matter which deeply puzzled all the admirers of that noble and learned lord. But they have suc ceeded in that object, and have got him to quote from anameless French writer, a paragraph about as absurd as even a French- man, when writing on English affairs, could be expected to put forth. The writer says: " The husband pockets the money without shame. The publicity which such prosecutions neces- sarily occasion, and all the proofs and details of the intrigue, are highly indelicate and scandalous. The testimony, for instance, of servants, of young chambermaids, who are brought into open court, to tell in the face of the public all they have heard, seen, or guessed at, is another sort of prostitution more indecent than the first." This paragraph might just as well be written respecting the action for assault, and the Frenchman's purpose of sneering at England would be as well answered by saying that the plaintiff in such an action pockets the damages without shame, the Frenchman's notion being that the husband should shoot the seducer in a duel, and leave to the State to obtain from him a fine, or adopt any other of those proceedings which are according to French DEATH OF MB BOBEET HALL, M. P.— We announce with much regret the death of Mr Robert Hall, the new member for Leeds. Mr Hall had been for some few days dangerously ill. The fatigue of the late Parliamentary contest, acting on a frame which had never quite recovered from the shock of the fearful railway accident which some two years ago completely shattered his nervous system, had, we fear, much to do with accelerating the melancholy event. Mr Hall was universally respected at the bar, and highly esteemed wherever he was known. His age was 56. He was called to the bar in 1828, and went the Northern Circuit. DEATH OE ME D. DAVIES, M. P.— We regret to record the death of D. A. S. Davies, Esq, M. P. for Carmarthenshire, which event took place suddenly, at the University Club, on the evening of Friday week. Mr Davies, who was a barrister- at- law, and for many years chairman of the Cardiganshire Quarter Sessions, was first returned for Carmarthenshire in 1842. In politics he was a Conservative, and he voted against the Govern- ment on the subject of the Chinese war. Mr Davie3 was in the 66th year of his age. ST JAMES'S PAKE.— The water, such as it is, supplied by the water companies to the parks, has hitherto cost Government £ 1,600 a year; but a discovery has been made during the recent alterations, which, it is supposed, will effect a saving of one- half this sum. In that island, surrounded by the ornamental waters of St James's Park, which the " Merry Monarch" named Duck Island, aud of which he once appointed St Evremont governor, there was found to exist a powerful spring, yielding pure water in sufficient abundance to supply the whole lake, and perhaps to prove available for other purposes. From a well of 10 feet wide, sunk to a depth of 25 feet, 5,000 gallons of water a minute are now obtained ; and it is anticipated that a still larger supply will be attainable. The water evidently comes from the Thames, being filtered on its passage through a bed of sand two- thirds of a mile in thickness. PEICES OF AGRICULTURAL STOCK.— At a sale of live stock belonging to Mr Henry Eddison, a well- known farmer at Gate- ford, near Worksop, Nottinghamshire, twenty- nine lots of short- horned cows and heifers realised £ 1,000 13s., being an average of £ 3410s. each. Eleven bulls of the same breed, prin- cipally young ones, brought £ 308 14s., giving an average of £ 28 Is. each. The herd comprised some of the best blood in the country, being descended from animals belonging to the late Earl Spencer, Sir C. Tempest, Messrs F. H. Fawkes, H. Ambler, Watson, and Burt. The total produce of the sale was £ 1,309 7s. At the sale at Mr Codling's, of Lofthouse Grange, Cleveland, the three- year- old heifers fetched from £ 16 to £ 19 per head. The fat beasts realised £ 26 each. The horses were knocked down for £ 40 and upwards. Other stock sold in proportion, the sale being the best that has taken place in the neighbourhood for some time past. HEALTH OE LONDON.— The deaths registered in the week ending May 23 were 948, being 160 less than the average. In some recent returns it was seen that the deaths attributed to the organs of respiration were about 200; a warmer temperature reduced them last week to 167. The average derived from cor- responding weeks in previous years is when corrected nearly the same, namely 165. Fatal cases of bronchitis declined in the last two weeks from 102 to 84; those of pneumonia from 75 to 66. The deaths caused by zymotic diseases declined in the same period from 194 to 168, and the mortality of this class is unusually low, for the average is 253. A third part of the deaths enume- rated under this head was caused by hooping- cough, which car- ried off 56 children. Typhus ( including common fever), which at this period in former years usually carried off about 50 per- sons, was fatal last week to 33. Scarlatina and small- pox ex- hibit a marked decrease. The births were 885 boys and 748 girls— total 1,633. Two LIVES LOST IN SHEEP WASHING.— Mr William Tew, a farmer living at Cheadle, in Staffordshire, and Joseph Warrilow, a farm labourer in his employ, were accidentally drowned a few days ago whilst washing sheep in a pool on Mr Tew's farm. Three others were present with sheep belonging to Mr Langley, but the deceased, Warrilow, was the principal operator in the water. Mr Tew had thrown a sheep towards him, and it escaped to a very deep part of the pool, where Warrilow followed it. Mr Tew called out to him, but he had gone too far. Mr Tew at once dashed in to save him, but both were drawn under the water, and never rose again. Every exertion was made to rescue them, but the bodies were not found for two hours after the accident. An inquest has been held, and the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death, FRANCE. Letters from Lyons speak of a considerable sensation having been produced in that city by the invention of au apparatus which, by means of a certain combined liquid, will realise on the present system of motive power a saving of 80 per cent, and give a result equal, if not superior, to what steam, as now applied, can produce. M Finot, ex- Mayor of Vaise ( a suburb of Lyons), is the inventor of this new process, which is in full work at the brewery at Vaise. The name given to this important discovery is the Moteur Lyonnais. A letter from Algiers of May 20 states that Marshal Randon has issued a proclamation setting forth the object of the expedi- tion into Kabylia. He threatens only the Beni- Raten, and pro- mises to the other misled tribes the indulgence of allowing them to keep the elective institutions of the Kabyles, which, he says, resemble those of France. M Vieillard, the present emperor's oldest friend, died a short time ago. Some scandal has been excited by the refusal of several dignitaries to follow his corpse to the grave. The dead senator had an abhorrence of priests, and left positive orders in his will that his remains should be interred without being previ- ously carried into a church. The Emperor, who came up to see him when he was dying, begged him to consent to receive the Archbishop of Paris. M Vieillard consented to receive the visit of the prelate, but adhered, in his dying moments, to his anti- Papal doctrines. M de Grouchy and some pious senators, in- cluding the Emperor's chamberlain, declined to follow the corpse to the grave, if it were interred with " maimed rites." This Polonius even telegraphed to the Emperor, at Foutainebleau, for instructions, and his Majesty must have been much amused at the scruples of his lacqueys; but for all that the Emperor's chamberlain did not follow the corpse to the grave, and thus his Majesty was not represented at the funeral of his old and honest friend. A commission has been appointed to examine the rights of France to the island of Karrack, in the Persian Gulf, rights which the French authorities maintain repose upon ancient ces- sions, and are guaranteed by treaty. This island is at present occupied by British troops. The formation of this commission has been occasioned by the taunts of the Russian Minister at the complacency of France in permitting England to seize upon her possessions. NEUFCHATEL. The Times correspondent in Paris says:—" The treaty which definitively settles the Neufchatel question is signed. The King of Prussia formally renounces the rights of sovereignty ' which,' says the Moniteur, ' treaties had given him over that principality.' The point on which the Plenipotentiaries were last occupied related to the million indemnity claimed by the King, and resisted by Switzerland. M Walewski contended that the draught of the treaty should comprise the indemnity article, and that the King, on obtaining the recognition of his claim, should then graciously decline it. In this view he was supported by M de Hatzfeldt. Dr Kern, the Swiss Plenipo- tentiary, did not think that the King should be thus allowed an occasion of exhibiting himself as magnanimous and disinterested at the expense of the dignity of the Confederation, and he maintained that if his Prussian Majesty did not really mean to take the money, there must be no mention made of it in the treaty, and the 6th Article, which related to it, must disappear altogether. In this business- like view of the matter Dr Kern was supported by Lord Cowley. The point was under discussion two days, and was at last decided in favour of Switzerland. The caution of Dr Kern is commendable. There has been nothing in the conduct of the King of Prussia throughout this affair to induce any one to place implicit confidence in his assurances." SPAIN. O'Donnell and Narvaez have had a violent quarrel. It now appears from the open accusation preferred by O'Donnell, that Narvaez urged him forward in his resolution to head a military insurrection in 1851. O'Donnell on that occasion fancied that he had the concurrence of the whole army, as well as of the constitutional party, and he will not now admit that he was a mere leader of a rebellious faction, with the ridicule of a cat's- paw added to the odium of a selfish conspirator. To be first made the dupe of Narvaez for the humiliation of the court, and then the dupe of the Queen in a bloodier work, is too much for his haugaty spirit. If he is to Ml he will drag down both Nar- vaez and the court into the same abyss. AUSTRIA. The Government is beginning to work the press in Italy. In addition to t'ae Gazettes of Milan, Venice, and Verona, it has in its pay the Bilancia at Milan, the Specola d'Italia at Verona, and the Sporza at Venice. These Austro- Italian papers work in concert with the Civilta Cattolica of Rome, Van, Armenia of Turin, and the Cattolica of Genoa. It is something to see the Austrian Government setting up a press of its own. TURKEYT Since the Congress of Paris, Turkey has made every effort to show herself worthy of protection and sympathy by political and religious reforms, for which, unhappily as yet, she gets but little credit. Great progress especially has been made in Northern Albania. The administration of Mustapha Pasha has exercised a most beneficial influence; but that has not preserved him or his people from the gross insults of Austrian officials. Some time ago a certain M Questiox, attached to the Austrian Vice- Consulate, aud lately arrived from Rustchuk, inflicted a kick upon a young Arnaout without provocation, whom he met in a narrow path. The Arnaout forbore to wipe out the insult in blood, according to the usages of his country, and contented himself with complaining to the Turkish Governor, Mustapha Pasha. When summoned, M de Questiox behaved in the most insolent manner, denied the assault, aud struck the Arnaout with a cane in presence of the Divan. On this Mustapha Pasha himself snatched the cane from the hands of the Austrian. He then administered a severe rebuke, and enlarged upon the nu- merous acts of violence perpetrated by the members of the Austrian Consulate, telling M Questiox that he would no longer hold official communication with liim, which announcement the latter treated with disdain. This act occasioned great indigna- tion, as much among the Christian as the Turkish inhabitants. They felt it to be a bad return for the liberal and generous be- haviour of the Governor. In every possible way Austria is con- tinually seeking to excite ill- blood between the Christian and Turkish subjects of the Sultan, and to frustrate the efforts made to come to a good understanding on both sides. Both the Austrian Church and Consulate appear continually active in promoting discord and mischief. All the Austrian functionaries in the Turkish provinces vie with each other in showing their fitness to represent the Government that would have hanged Colonel Turr when in the service of Great Britain, and which overlooks with undisguised satisfaction brutalities inflicted upon English travellers by persons wearing the Austrian uniform, and holding Austrian commissions. CIRCASSIA. The desperate yet well- organised efforts now being made by the Circassians to repulse Prussia show at once the danger of their position and the enduring patriotism of their nature. The different provinces have levied by the system of the Turkish Redifs above 40,000 men. It is stated that the combined forces of Sefer Pasha, Naib Pasha, and the renowned Schamyl, whose fame certain sham heroes have of late sought to " blacken with their ink," will shortly amount to 100,009 men, provided with several pieces of artillery. By a further levy of three to four men each family, this force may be raised to 300,000 or 400,000 men. Some of these families number at least fifty individuals each. The provinces contribute provisions freely. Already the magazines contain, says a correspondent from the head- quarters at Sipsozur, 100,000 kilos of grain. Horses for the artillery are contributed iu the proportion of two for 100 families or houses. These also furnish two oxen for the troops. Karabatir, the son of Sefer Pasha, is organising and will command two picked regi- ments of cavalry, composed of young men of the best families. UNITED STATES. Lord Napier has had a long interview with the President on the subject of the Dallas- Clarendon treaty. At the Cabinet meeting the difficulties in New Grenada were discussed at great length. It is rumoured that the Cabinet is quite unanimous on the necessity of adopting the most energetic measures for re- dress ; and it is thought the Government intends to take early possession of the transit route. On the 8th instant there was a Cabinet meeting, and it was reported that the recent rejection of the Dallas- Olarendon treaty was under consideration. TheiVeto York Herald of the 13th appears to regard the Central American dispute as menacing. It remarks :—" We dare say there will be no further negotiations with England upon Central American affairs till the meeting of the next Con- gress, and that then, instead of the reconsideration of the treaty of Dallas and Clarendon, we may anticipate the abrogation of the old Clayton- Bulwer treaty and all its appendages." In another place the Herald says—" The satisfaction at the rejec- tion of the Clarendon treaty is evidently increasing. Despatches will go out to Mr Dallas by to- morrow's steamer informing him that no negotiation will be entertained at present by this Go- vernment. Lord Napier feels deeply the unpleasant position he has been placed in." THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA AND PERSIA.— The steamer America arrived at Trieste on Thursday morning from Alexandria, with advices from Bom- bay of May 2; Calcutta, April 23; Madras, April 28; Ceylon, May 3 ; Hong Kong, April 15 ; Shanghai, April 6; Galle, May 1. News of the conclusion of peace with Persia reached our camp at Mohammerah on the 5th April. On the 1st of the same month a band of 300 men had taken possession of Ahwaz, a place situate 90 miles up the river Karcon, seizing its stores and ammunition. Regiments were returning from the Persian Gulf. The Jemadar of the 19th Bengal Native Infantry, the ring- leader in the late disturbances, had been hanged for mutinous conduct. Fuszl- Ali has been killed in au attack made upon his band to avenge the murder of Boileau. Meetings have been held at Singapore, congratulating Sir James Brooke on his just severity. The governors of t he several presidencies were at their respective seats of administration. At Bombay transactions in imports were rather limited. The export market was quiet. Freights very dull. CHINA.— The position of affairs in Canton River continues un- changed. Great distress is said to prevail at Canton from the high price of rice. The 50- gun frigate Raleigh, Commodore Keppel, had struck upon the rocks five miles from Macao, and was beached to save her. The Bittern had gone to receive her guns. It is asserted that an imperial duty upon opium has been imposed at Shanghai, At Hong Kong and Shanghai money is very scarce. Exchanges 4s. llf d. to 5s., and 7s. 3* d. to 7s. 4d. Exports of tea estimated at about 57,000,0001b, against 73,000,0001b last year. The price of teas had advanced in con- sequence of the limited supply. THE ATLANTIC SUBMARINE CABLE.— We learn that MrW. Brown, M. P., chairman of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, Mr Brett and Mr Pickering, directors, accompanied by Captain Kells, have been on board the noble ship Niagara, Captain Hud- son, at Gravesend, to confer and arrange with him about laying that portion of the submarine cable which is to go to the west- ward, to connect and bind the Old and the New World, perma- nently, we trust, in harmony and peace. Nothing could exceed the gentlemanly and courteous feeling with which they were re- ceived by Captain Hudson and his officers. After going through the ship, it was found, to their extreme regret, that, without ruining her, by cutting away stanchions, there was not space to make sufficiently large circular coils of the cable to secure its safe delivery into the ocean, which, in such an enterprise, is the first point to be attended to. Indeed this is not surprising, for al- though Sir Baldwin Walker was most anxious that the British Government should furnish suitable vessels to do their part of the enterprise, Captain Kells was three months looking over the dockyards to find one that would do. The Agamemnon was at last fixed on, but she required considerable alterations. If time admitted, there can he no doubt that among the United States navy would be found a suitable vessel, and that the Government would send her here to aid in this great international undertaking. Captain Hudson stated that his orders from the Secretary of the Navy were to do everything in his power to forward the enterprise, and that he, his offioers, and crew felt a deep interest in it, and were ready to do any- thing that would contribute to its triumphant success. It was felt by all parties that these two great nations must be united in carrying out this important work, and probably the best thing that could now be done was for the Niagara to take on board the shore end of the cable, and lead the van of that part of the squadron going to the Western world, and be ready to give every necessary assistance. In this suggestion Captain Hudson most cheerfully acquiesced, saying he was ready to do anything the deputation wished to aid and assist the undertaking. The United States, desirous of conferring all the houour possible upon this country, sent one of their noblest ships, and, to a person who knows what a vessel should be, an inspection of the Niagara would be worth a voyage across the Atlantic. MODELS FOR THE MONUMENT TO THE LATE DUKE OP WEL- LINSTON.— The models for the monument proposed to be erected to the memory of the late Duke of Wellington, in St Paul's, will be received on or before to- morrow ( Monday), from artists residing within the United Kingdom ; and on or before the 25th June, from other artists. Westminster Hall will be opened to the public for the exhibition of these models early in July, and those designs for public offices which shall have been selected by the judges to receive the premiums will be exhibited at the same time.

Sulivan, C. B., have had conferred on them tbe good service pensions at the disposal of the First Lord of the Ad- miralty by the promotion tollagrankofCaptsLapidgeandQuin. DEATH OP LIEUT ROUSE.— Lieut John Wood Rouse, R. N., of Greenwich Hospital, died on Saturday week, at that royal asylum, in his 72d year. The vacancy occasioned by his death is to be filled by Lieut Abraham Parks, R. N. ( 1815), additional lieutenant of the Saturu, Capt R. Smart, K. H., at Pembroke. The lute Lieut Rouse entered the navy in 1799, and after service in the Channel, joined the Royal George, 100, flag- ship of Admiral Sir Thomas Duckworth, and was in that ship when the admiral passed the Dardanelles. He lost a leg in the attack upon Prota in February, 1807, and bis promotion to lieutenant soon followed. The gallant officer received a grant from tbe Patriotic Fund and a pension for the loss of his leg. He subsequently commanded the Pioneer on the coast of Scotland. In July, 1820, he was ap- poiuted First Lieutenant at the Royal Naval College at Ports- mouth, and in November, 1837, he was admitted to Greenwich Hospital, where for many years he was superintendent of the Royal Hospital Schools. He was deservedly esteemed by these acquainted with his excellent heart and generous disposition. THE REINFORCEMENTS FOR CHINA.— A letter from her Ma- jesty's screw sloop Cruizer, Commander Charles Feilowes, on her passage from England to China, dated " At Sea, March 23,1857, in lat. 18 56 S., long. 103 28 E.," gives the following:—" \ Y e have made a long and tedious passage of it. On the 29th of this month we shall have been six months from Falmouth ! We are now 700 miles from the Straits of Sunda, and we hope to be at Singapore in another week. At present we are rattling along at 11 and 12 knots, with a strong trade wind ( S. E.). ( Joining out we touched at Teneriffe, sighted Pernambuco, and were thus detained five weeks at Rio, repairing the damages which we sus- tained from a collision outside there a few hours before we reached that port. On tbe 18th of January We reached the Cape, gun- boats in company ; we towed them nearly the whole way from England. On the 23rd, having refitted and pro- visioned, we again made a start, but a very unfortunate one, as we lost sight of two of the gun- boats a few hours after we had left. We then proceeded to the rendezvous in the hopes of pick- ing them up, but after a week's knocking about we were still doomed to disappointment. A fortnight ago, finding our remain- ing gun- boat a great drawback to our progress, we parted. com- pany with her also. They are all very fine seaboats, and have nad ample means of proving it."—" Siugapore, Sunday, April 5. — We reached this yesterday, and have orders to go to Hong Kong without delay." Orders have been received from the Board of Admiralty to expedite the completion of the Princess Charlotte, Captaiu George St Vincent King, for the China station. Extra hands have been placed on her, and they are to work early and late. WORKS AT CHATHAM DOCKYARD.— The works in progress at Chatham dockyard for improving aud enlarging the present slips and basins are in a very forward state, and it Is expected that the whole will be completed during the present summer. The most important of the improvements now being carried out is that of constructing the new tidal basin, which will be 360 feet in length, and capable of receiving the largest vessels iu the service. The whole of the bottom and sides of this basin are faced with granite, laid on beds of concrete of sufficient depth to give a solid foundation. The width of the new basin is 92 feet, aud depth 31 feet. The lengthening of No. 7 slip inward, so as to afford room for building the large steam frigate Mersey, is nearly completed by Messrs Rigby, the contractors. This slip is built throughout of granite, on a bed of concrete 15 feet deep, its total length being 330 feet. The iron roof is considered a triumph of engineering skill, and has been erected and enlarged by Messrs GrissalL Aaiong the other improvements in contem- plation it is proposed to scour out the mud which bas been allowed to accumulate at the eastern end of the yard, in order to commence the foundations for the large steam basins intended to be built. These works will be undertaken by the convicts, of whom there are about 500 at present employed in Chatham Dockyard,| the sum of £ 160,000| havingbeen voted for the improve- ment of that dockyard, by means of convict labour alone.— The Hood, which was originally laid down at Chatham Dockyard as an 80- gun sailing vessel, is now ordered to be completed as a 91- g uu screw steamer. In order to adapt her for a screw she was cut in half amidships, and lengthened nearly 40 feet, and she has been again cut asunder forward in order to be lengthened at the bows. Efforts are being made to have her completed during the present year; Bhe has been on the stocks since 1849. LAUNCH OF A MONSTER SCREW COLLIER.— On Saturday, the 23d inst, the large screw collier Wiiiiam Cory, which has attracted so much attention on the Tyne, was launched from Messrs Charles Mitchell and Co.' s building yards, at Newcastle. She belongs to Mr Hugh Taylor and other gentlemen connected with the London Coal Exchange, and there is no doubt but that her launch marks the commencement of a new system that is likely to exercise a considerable influence on the coal carrying trade by sea. She is considerably more than double the size of the ordinary screw colliers, being 250ft long, 35ft beam, and of corresponding depth. She will carry 1,500 tons of cargo, besides fuel for the engines. The vessel will be propelled by engines of 150- horse power, and will make a London coal voyage in a week, arrangements having been made in the London Victoria Docks to unload the vessel of her entire cargo of 1,500 tons in one day. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE JOSEPH SOMES.— Information was received at Lloyd's, on Monday, of the loss of the above Australian passenger ship, which sailed from the Thames for Melbourne on the 15th of December. It was on the 29th of February, when off Tristan d'Acunha, that the calamity oc- curred. The full details will be found in the following report made by the commander of the ill- fated vessel ( Captain Elm- stone) :—" Feb 25.— At six p. m., Cassim, the cuddy- servant, saw smoke arising from the companion hatch; called the steward, aud showed him the smoke, who immediately went down and sent the boy for the mate, at the same time calling for water, Mr Vaughan, the second officer, went down, and found the smoke arising very fast. Water was immediately thrown down, but without effect; the flames burst out of the air- holes, through the ' tween decks, a little abaft the mizenmast, and raged violently. The gunpowder was then thrown overboard, several barrels of which were so hot that the men could hardly hold them. I got the boat3 into the water and made sail, standing close to the wind, so that the flames should blow aft. I got all the women and children on the forecastle and stood in for the island of Tristan d'Acunha, it being at the time seven miles distant. Stood on until the flames burnt the poop- deck, ren- dering it no longer bearable; lashed the helm a- lee, and let the mainyard come to the mast aback; hauled the head- sails down, and put the women and children iri the second lifeboat. The rest of the crew in the first lifeboat and gig- pulled towards the island; took three of the women out of the second lifeboat into the first to equalise. The first lifeboat arrived safely, but half full of water ( owing to the heavy sea on), at half- past twelve. The second lifeboat succeeded in fetching the lee side of the island, and was stove in beaching her, but no life was lost. The gig was pulling until seven next morning, fetching the lee side close to the second lifeboat, and was likewise stove in beaching, the swell being very heavy. At daylight on the 26th, tbe first lifeboat, with myself, MrGoodall, and six men, went in search of the missing boats; found them, but could not bring them away, not being able to pull against the strong wind and sea." The report then goes on to describe the hardships undergone by the passengers and crew, and con- cludes with an account of their rescue by the Nimroud of Lon- don, which vessel put them on board another ship, from whence they were landed at the Cape. THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION AT LUNDHILL.— From the evidence of the eminent engineers employed to examine the pit, there is no doubt that the use of naked lights instead of safety lamps was the proximate cause of this explosion, as also of the other two frightful explosions which occurred in the immediate neighbourhood ( i. e., at the Darley Main and Oaks collieries) some few years ago. With regard to the immediate cause it is impossible to speak with the same degree of positiveness. Seve- ral possible causes are mentioned, such as the leaving open of a trap- door, the ignition of the return air at the furnace conse- quent on gas having been forced out of the goaves ( old workings from which all the coal has been won) only 70 yards from the furnace ; and the forcing of gas out of the third or fourth north goaves by the ventilating currents having been partially diverted from their proper courses by falls in the airgates of the third and fourth banks. The eugineers, however, bslieve the imme- diate cause of the accident to be a large fall of roof in one of the goaves under the following circumstances:— Immediately above the roof of the old workings is a strata of shaley matter, and above this a strata of rock upon which rests a thin seam of coal. The shaley strata would naturally fall at an early period in the extension of the goaf, and gas ( which is freely emitted in the Barnsley seam), being lighter than the air, would accumulate in the cavities left by the fall. The area of the goaf becoming more and more extended as the workings progressed, the strata of rock would eventually fall also. In doing so it would force out the magazine of gas which had accumulated in the cavities left by the previous fall, and would probably also bring with it an efflux of gas from the thin seam of coal with which it is associated. The gas would be driven upon the candles of the miners at work in the banks surrrounding the goaf, and would at once ignite. It will be recollected that Mr Coe, the underviewer, when examined some weeks ago, accounted for the explosion on an hypothesis pre- cisely similar to this, with the single exception that he supposed, not that any gas had accumulated in the cavities of the earlier fall, but that the whole of it had come from the thin seam of coal above the strata of rock. The engineers strongly urged tha necessity of lighting the pits in the Barnsley seam exclusively with safety lamps, more especially so long as they were worked upon the present faulty system. They also pointed out the impropriety of allowing the packers to use safety lamps or candles at their discretion; the danger of having single instead of double trap- doors in the main airways; of hav- ing a system of ventilation requiring so many trap- doors; and of allowing the boys who attended the trap- doors to leave them. Mr Badger, the coroner, in his summing up, strongly censured the laxity of discipline which had been allowed at the pit. He also forcibly pointed out the extent to which the managers and officers of collieries are liable for neglect or omission of duty resulting in death, intimating that if it hacl been clear that the explosion at Lundhill had originated in the bank of either of the obstructed airways, he should have felt bound to direct the jury to find the underviewer guilty of criminal negligence for allowing them to be worked with naked lights. The engiaeers, however, while they could not speak positively as to the precise locality of the explosion, were of opinion that it originated not in one of the banks alluded to, but in an adjacent one. In his charge the coroner recommended the use, in all collieries in the Barnsley district, of double trap- doors, an improved system of ventilation, the exclusive use of safety lamps, an arrangement to prevent the return air of the pits coming in contact with the f urnaces, a rigid enforcement of discipline, and the adopting of means for educating the miners. The proprietors of the Lundhill colliery have intimated their intention of adopting all measures necessary for the safe working of the pit, without regard to the cost. It is estimated that the explosion will entail an expense of from £ 12,000 to £ 15,000 on the proprietors, apart from the loss of interest on capital, UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Hum, A NEW REMEDY FOR SKIN DISEASES.— An extremely inter- esting discussion, important to all who suffer from serious or trifling attacks of eruptions of the skin, lately took place at the Medical Society of London, in consequence of the successful treatment of an almost intractable cutaneous affection, by Mr Thomas Hunt, the eminent surgeon to the Western Dispensary for Diseases of the Skin. The patient, a young woman, suffered for twelve years— the whole of her face being painfully afiected and fearfully disfigured. Yet, in the course of two months, her sufferings and the unsightly appearance were entirely removed, simply by the administration of Dr de Jongh's light- brown cod liver oil. The powerful curative properties and extraordinary beneficial effects of this valuable remedy in chronic skin dis- eases were acknowledged by several eminent medical prac- titioners who took part in the discussion, and were exemplified by other instances of skin diseases entirely cured, or making promising or improving progress towards recovery. In a subse- quent communication to the Medical Times and Gazette, Mr Hunt thus bears further testimony to the value of Drde Jongh's oil:—" I have now prescribed it in about one hundred and twenty cases of skin disease. It is bare justice to Drde Jongh to say, that the success attending its use in dispensary practice fully satisfies me that he has not exaggerated its value. To avoid the chance of adulteration, and to secure uniformity of quality, I have invariably prescribed, in the cutaneous cases herein alluded to, the oil sold in bottles with Dr de Jongh's seal upon them."

Only moderate supplies of English Wheat have been received up to our market this week, coastwise and by land- carriage. On the whole the demand is steady, and prices are well supported. Foreign Wheat — the imports of which are only iimited— has changed hands slowly, at full quotations. Floating cargoes of grain are quite as dear as last week.

Ossee and Clerk of the Course: Mr Dorhng. Judge: Mi Clark. Starter: Mr Hibburd. Clerk of the Scales: MrMannmg. It again falls to our task to record the successful celebration of another anniversary of the great Surrey Meeting on Epsom Downs, which for some time past has created far more interest in this country than even the forthcoming comet, the approach of which has been seized upon as a subject by certain French savans to work up our credulous and excitable Gallic neighbours almost to " fever heat." We should be sorry to hazard a con- jecture, from fear of being considered profane, as to the nature of the catastrophe that would check an Englishman's passion for speculating on the Derby. From the Prince— not he who of all others, as the consort of the Queen, ought to be first and foremost in supporting the national pastime of the country that adopted him, but one of far greater popularity— to the " chummy," almost everybody, " the cloth" included, backs his fancy to a more or less extent. Nor during our time at least shall we have to report a different state of things ; and the very fact of the attempt of the Legislature to: put down the lists, and what may be termed public- house betting, is certain to increase the taste for it, especially amongst the middling and lower orders, who, having no " Tattersall's " to go to, will find the opportunity of investing their money somehow. The ques- tion arises, therefore, whether it would not be desirable to enable them to do so with some degree of safety, and license respectable establishments for that purpose— the privilege to be renewable or not annually according to'the honesty of the conductors— so as to check the present loose and underhand system of betting, whereby so many victims fall into the clutches of the unprin- cipled vagabonds who bring discredit upon the respectable por- tion of the Ring. Though sotsewhat of a digression in the present instance, we hope the subject may not escape the atten- tion of the nobie lord at the head of Her Majesty's Government — himself a staunch admirer aud supporter of those " Isthmian games," to celebrate which he last week moved the adjournment of the House of Commons. Remarkable as the Derby of last year was for the ex- traordinary position so long maintained in the betting by a " dark" horse— of which, if we mistake not, Coldrenick from the same stable was the only previous instance— the present race can boast of the unparalleled circumstance not only of a mare occupying the " pride of place" almost throughout the winter, but of two mares being at one period actually first aud second favourites, yet, in the face of this, though it will scarcely be credited, " can mares run for the Derby ?" is one of those stereotyped questions which we are called upon to answer almost every week throughout the year ! With the various movements iu the Turf market our readers must be too Samiliartojustifyusininfiictingthem witha resume, however brief, further than to remark that neither of the great stables of Malton and Danebury, strange to say, had a prominent favourite until Anion, by his performance in the Two Thousand, came to the rescue of the supporters of " John Day's lot;" and although Blink Bonny's wretched exhibition iu the Thousand sent her to the right about, a new champion appeared to support the honours of the North in Skirmisher, who came out a totally- different horse to what he showed himself last year, with- out the least symptoms of the savage disposition which he evinced in almost every race he ran as a two year old, aud after his brace of victories at the York Spring Meeting, added to Vedette's successjn the Two Thousand, assumed the position of first favourite for the Derby, which he retained with great firmness up to the date of our last publication; wherein, like- wise, was recorded the advance, in the course of the preceding week, of Tournament, the movements in connection with Arsenal, Saunterer, " The Sprig," M. D., Adamas, Lady Hawthorn, and other candidates aspiring to the distinguished honour of the " blue riband of the Turf." As a betting race, the present Derby has been the best known for many years, and from the great number of horses that have been in the market from time to time, those who " stuck to their text" must have had " rosy " books upon the race. To make our introductory obser- vations as complete as possible, we must now take up the thread of the betting, after the publication of our early edition last week. The Room was opened on Saturday afternoon, but was very thinly attended. The most important changes were in Tournament, Anton, Sydney, Zuyder Zee, and Bird in the Hand — thc> first two exhibiting an improvement, and the others a decline upon their previous day's quotations. The outlay on Tournament at 8 and 7 to 1 was little short of £ 1,000, and Anton ( who was " put through the mill" with Rogerthorpe at Dane- bury the day before) was backed for considerably more at 10 and 9 to 1, the stable commission we'believe alone amounting to a " thou." Skirmisher, notwithstanding, stood his ground very firmly, and was supported for a considerable amount at 6 to 1, without however tiring out the layers. The only bet that came under our notice about Saunterer was 1,000 to 100. There were a great many inquiries after Arsenal, and M. D., Lady Hawthorn, and Adamas also had supporters at our quotations. Glenmasson and Dusty Miller were the only outsiders iu request, and 1,000 to 10 was taken freely about the latter. A " monkey" was betted on the following live against the field:— Skirmisher, Anton, Tournament, Saunterer, and Arsenal.

We were enabled nevertheless to make out a lengthy list of quotations, although except about the leading favourites the transactions were very limited. Those who had been to Epsom and Leatherhead in the morning returned with favourable impressions of Tournamont, Adamas, and I'Anson's two; whilst Skirmisher, Saunterer, M. D,, and Zuyder Zee, were less fancied. 2,100 to 300, and many other bets at the same figure were booked about Tournament, and 1,000 to 50, 1,000 to 55, and finally 1,000 to 60, was taken about Adamas, who did more work than any horse out, and was universally admitted to go better than anything there. 6 to 1 was taken to several hundred pounds about Skirmisher, and after 13 to 1 to £ 150 had been laid against M. D. ( although it was said he could not get out of Sir Colin's way), a point less was taken. Anton advanced to 8 to 1, and Saunterer was supported in " knowing" quarters for the best part of a " monkey" at 10 to 1. No transaction about Arseual came to our notice. Strathnaver and Sydney, both of wkom pleased the " touts," exhibited an improvement upon their previous day's quotations. 1,000 to 15 was taken several times about Oakball, and there were a great many inquiries after Biink Bonny ( reported to bo going in her old form again), but her admirers, nevertheless, were afforded every opportunity of indulging their fancy at 1,000 to 30 and 40 to 1. At the close of the proceedings we were enabled to make out the following list :— DEEBY. 25 to 1 agst Bird in the Hand ( tk) 1 Wardermarske ( taken) 1 Zuyder Zee ( off) 1 Commotion ( tk 40 to 1) 1 BlinkBonny ( t) 1 Glenmasson ( t) and offered) 1000 to 15 Oakball( tkfrly) 28 to 33 to 33 to 33 to 40 to 6 to 1 agst Skirmisher ( tk, and offered) 7 to 1 Tournament( tk) 8 to 1 Anton ( tk) 10 to 1 Saunterer ( off) 11 to 1 Arsenal ( tk) 13 to 1 M. D. ( tk) 100 to 6 Adamas ( tk) 100 to 6 Strathnaver ( tk) 100 to 6 Sydney ( tk) 20 to 1 Lady Hawthorn ( taken) Monday being the last meeting day at " the Corner" the Sub- scription Room was very numerously attended, whilst the yard and approaches were literally blocked up by the " outsiders" and sporting men from the provinces. It has become the custom now- a- day s to postpone " comparing" to the last moment, instead of, as formerly, devoting the previous Thursday thereto, conse. quently a great deal of time was occupied by that important cere- mony this afternoon. Our return, nevertheless, again exhibits an extensive show of names, and the betting about certain horses was remarkably brisk. The " lions" were Anton andSaunterer, the for- mer of whom was backed for little short of two thousand pounds at 7 to 1,13 to 2, and 6 to 1. Towards the close, however, owing to the spirit with which Saunterer was supported by his owner and friends ( whose outlay in the aggregate at 10 and 9 to 1 must have been at least £ 1,000), half a point more was offered on the field; and by returning Anton and Skirmisher at 13 to 2 each, we shall not be wide of the mark, although Anton decidedly had the call. At one period 500 was betted between them, and the backer of the Danebury nag would have doubled it, but the supporter of Skirmisher, about whom, by tbe bye, we did not see any other transaction, appeared to be satisfied. Tournament receded a point, and M. D. also seemed a little " tottery" until the arrival of one of the chief supporters of his stable, who took 14 to 1 to £ 300 ( hedging money) arid 13 to 1 to more than double that sum, which caused the horse to leave off as " strong as brandy." Arsenal was firm at 10 to 1, and there were a great many inquiries after Adamas, Strathnaver, Warder- marske, Blink Bonny, and Oakball; whilst Sprig of Shillelagh and Gleumasson had evidently passed a ycry bad night, judging from the offers of 30 to 1 against the " old'un," as The Sprig is familiarly termed, and of 1,000 to 10 against Glenmasson, the latter of whom, it was stated, would not see Epsom this year. Wardermarske ( who had " cleaned out" the whole of Thomas Dawson's lot on the previous Saturday), was backed for all that could be got on iu the City this morning, and was likewise sup- ported in good quarters here at 100 to 6. The latter figure was taken several times about Lady Hawthorn, but subsequently 20 to 1 was laid. The Bird in the Hand fluctuated in a most ex- traordinary manner, aud there was a range of at least five points in his price within and without the Room. We saw 3,000 to 100 taken about him once, and two minutes afterwards forty poneys might have been had! The Oaks betting wa « chiefly confined to Jmp6rieuse, Sneeze, Augury, and Blink Bonny, the latter of whom was evidently repining the favour ef the public which 4 to 1 agst Imp6rieuse ( tk) 8 to 1 Sneeze ( tk) 10 to 1 Moestissima ( tk) 10 to 1 Biink Bonny ( t) ASCOT CUP. 275 to 50 agst Skirmisher Having worked up our town notes, we must now change the ve" nue to Epsom, where. it is almost unnecessary tostate, excitement was on tiptoe for some days prior to the meeting. The fact of a Derby favourite being trained on the Downs, where by the bye there is no chance of concealment from the " touts," recalled old times when Sir Gilbert's lot used to afford some sort of interest until the arrival of the " cracks" from other parts. The Epsom people almost to a man were on Adamas, who had evinced great improvement since the Spring Meeting, where, it will be remembered, when totally unfit to run, he won the City and Suburban and ran second for the Metropolitan— a performauce never excelled but by one animal- Virago ; and although in a small unpretending stable, they con- fidently looked forward to a repetition of the Amato triumph. John Scott's string took up their quarters at Leatherhead as usual about ten days prior to the meeting, but this year, as the betting will have shown, the lot possessed no prominent fa- vourite, owing to Bird iu the Hand, the supposed champion, having been stopped in his preparation from curbs before the Two Thousand. John Scott, nevertheless, had first favourite for the Oaks in Imperieuse. There were no further arrivals until Saturday last, when Skirmisher, Zuyder Zee, Saunterer, Blink Bounv, and Strathnaver reached Epsom from the North, and Tournament, Sydney, M. D., and ethers from the South, the Sussex horse being located at Leatherhead. Sunday morn- ing witnessed the usual " turn out" on the Downs, and those who went down from town were agreeably surprised to find so many of the favourites on the spot. On Monday, fresh arrivals poured in from all quarters, including Lady Hawthorn, Moes- tissima. Arsenal, Wardermarske, Sneeze, the Sprig of Shillelagh, and, in fact, ail the Derby candidates with tiio exception of Anton, who did not reach his quarters at Banstead until the following afternoon direct from Daaebury, where he had the advantage of doing his work up to the last moment. The ground at Epsom was uncommonly hard, notwithstanding the rain that fell at intervals during the four days previous to the meeting, and which at one time caused gloomy forebodings of a recur- rence of the wretched weather of last year. In other respects there was every prospect of a n^ ost successful meeting, aa enor- mous field was expected to start for the Derby, aud the demand for lodgings in the town and neighbourhood was so great tkat many parties, who had intended " locating" there for the week, were compelled to abandon their project. TUESDAY.— Like the eve of any other important event, the day before a Derby is proverbially a period of such anxious ex- pectation and speculation, that at best it proves a dull affair. Tuesday proved no exception to the general rule, for, although the fineness of the weather led us to anticipate a somewhat fuller attendance than usual, the counter attractions elsewhere presented by the celebration of the Queen's Birthday were too strong to draw many of the general public from town. The Grand Stand, it is true, was as full if not fuller thau we ever remember it on a Tuesday, and included a very large pro- portion of fashionables aud other visitors, in addition to what are called the " business fraternity," who musterediu unusual force. There was little to require comment in connection with the Stand aud its adjuncts. The improvements on the roof of the Jockey Club Stand we noticed in the spring, aud the only alteration since then was the construction thereupon of a light and tasteful framework, upon which an awning was stretched, affording most welcome protection from the scorching rays of tha sun. The starting bell has been moved about a distance from the winuing- post, at the extreme corner of the enclosure. On the course, and at the various stands on either side, we perceived no feature that has not been described over and over again. There was the usual number of negro and other melodists, mountebanks, & c, & c, whose performances seemed chiefly carrried on for their own amusement, or perhaps to keep their hands in for the morrow. The booth- keepers and their satellites stood at their open doors looking for customers who never came, and in fact every- thing syas strongly suggestive of " tha day before the Derby." Notwithstanding the refreshing showers that had fallen dur- ing the previous week the course was extremely hard, but it was beautifully smooth and as level as the careful attention of Mr Dorling and his assistants could make it. The rain was the means of laying the dust along the roads for a short time, but as the day wore on, all traces of its effects disappeared, and the cloud of dust on the return journey convinced us that the morrow would not be far behind its predecessors in its supply of that unwelcome attendant upon great gatherings of this nature. The weather throughout the day was most delightful, and the atmosphere so beautifully clear that there w as not the slightest difficulty, even with the naked eye, in distinguishing objects at the extreme verge of the horizon. We must now take leave of this branch of our subject, aud proceed to speak of the racing, the betting, and other matters more congenial to the tastes of our readers. Beyond the substitution of a new stake, naaaed after the gallant Admiral by whom most of the handicaps at Epsom are made, in lieu of the Summer Handicap, the card was the same as for the opening day last year. The fields, however, exhi- bited a decided improvement except for the Woodcote and Craven Stakes. Nor did the entry for the latter race, with which the proceedings commenced, equal either in numbers or character its predecessor, though at tne same time considerable interest attached to the performances of Glede Hawk, Blue Jacket, Janet, the Blue Devils colt, aud Noisette, as far as Saunt6rer, Tournament. Wardermarske, the Beeswax colt, and Turbit were concerned, more especially with such a public trial nag as Gemma di Vergy in the race. Though looking somewhat " jolly" from being indulged oflate after the great amouutof work he has got through this season, the race was pronounced a " foregone conclusion," and 7 to 2 was freely betted on " Jemmy," who was cleverly defeated, however, by Blue Jacket— an outsider inDrewett's stable that has figured throughout the winter amongst the 1,000 to 15 division for the Derby. So unexpected a " turn up" created an extraordinary sensation, aud, besides advancing the winuer to 20 to 1 for that raoe, caused a tremendous rush to get on his stable companion, Tournament, who it was stated gal- loped away from the other when tried, aud immediately became first favourite at 5 to 1 ( takers). The stable made no secret of the immense superiority of the " crack, " but amongst the public there were hosts of sceptics who were not to be stalled off from backing the horse they had seen do a good thing in public in preference to one that had not been out this season, indulged their fancy. to a large extent at 30 and 25 to 1, to the great relief of those who had previously " missed him," and others who seized so favourable an opportunity of " shifting" the money they had reckoned upon as " clean gone." To pro- tect the public, however, Mr Douglas ( who seldom bets) as soon as it came to his knowledge that they were backing Blue Jacket, struck the horse out of the Derby at half- past four o'clock, but iu the meantime the " leviathan" had, it is said, managed to lay the whole of his book— £ 25,000— against him. The second race, the Manor Plate, brought out a dozen runners, and good luck again attended the fielders. Nereus was a great " pot," but showing temper at the post when struck by the spur to get him off, his chance was extinguished at the outset, and a pretty set- to with Foxhunter, Hegeira, and Hun- tington resulted in the latter's favour by a length. Thus Ford- liam, strange to state, by winning the first two events, had it in his power to change the current of the betting about two Derby horses— Tournament and Adamas— ar, d availed himself of it; the confidence of the latter's supporters being considerably strengthened after Huntington s success. Another field of a dozen went to the post for the Woodcote, and a third " pot" boiled over on Polly Peachum, who ( whispered to have done little work since Ludlow), had her colours lowered by a braoe of outsiders— a splendid struggle between four or five resulting in favour of Sedbury, from the Findon stable, by a neck over Deceiver, who with a stronger man on his back and but for a stumble close upon the post might have reversed the judge's fiat. The two year old race was followed by an equally exciting set- to between Sir Colin, Vigil, and Riseber for the Rous Stakes, and owing to the former running very wide of the other two, who finished close under the chair, it was impossible for any one but the judge to select the winner. Sir Colin, who obtained a great advantage at the turn, and from that point ran by himself on the lower ground, appeared to have the best of it oppo- site the Stand, but hanging towards the rails at the finish in spite of Fordham's efforts to keep him straight, he let up The Vigil— the selection of " Observer "— in the last stride or two, and she landed the Duke of Beaufort's colours victorious by a head, after which 1,000 to 100 was taken about the winner for the Oaks. The Horton Stakes resulted in an- other unexpected, " turn up" for the Ring; and, considering that the favourite was likewise defeated for the Heathcote Plate, with which the racing terminated, the fielders must have had on the whole a better day thau has fallen to their lot for a consi- derable time, as the betting on the whole, owing to the increased number of backers of horses present, was pretty brisk. This re- mark applies chiefly to current events, aud not to the Derby, upon which speculation was " cabin'd, cribb'd, confined," ex- cept about the four first favourites. Our " price current" will be found at the foot of this afternoon's racing, of which the fol- lowing are full details :— The CBAYEN STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 50 added ; three year olds 7st lib, four 8st 71b, five 8st 131b, six and aged 9st; mares allowed 5lb, geldings 31b; mile and a quarter ; 10 subs. * i Mr Douglas's Blue Jacket, by Collingwooa, 3 yrs, 7st lib G.

Janet showed in advance for the first quarter of a mile, when the running was taken up by the Blue Devils' colt, fol- lowed by the Planet colt and Noisette, Janet and Blue Jacket going on next abreast, the favourite succeeding them, with Glede Hawk acting as whipper- in They ran thus at an indif- ferent pace to Tattenham Corner, round which all took a wide sweep, except Noisette and Brother to Bird on the Wing, the latter of whom thereby got on much better terms with the lead- ing horses. In the straight, the Planet colt dropped off, and Blue Jacket went in front accompanied by Gemma di Vergy, who laid second from the road, with Brother to Bird on the Wing, the Blue Devils' colt aud Noisette in close attendance to the dis- tance, when the latter, who ran wide on the lower ground, was beaten. From this point the issue was left to the four placed, and a remarkably pretty race ensued, Blue Jacket, who disposed of the favourite's challenge at the Stand, winning very easily by a neck, the second beating the third by half a length, and the latter having an advantage of a neck over the fourth. The others, headed by Glede Hawk, and whipped in by the Planet colt, were tailed off. Run in 2min 18sec The MANOB PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, for all ages; three quarters of a mile.

The running was made by Pox- hunter, attended by Fiction and Saxe Weimar, to the foot of the hill, where the two latter were passed by Hegira, Hunting- ton. and Fright, who joined the old- uu after crossing the road, and ran with him as far as the distance. Huntington then took a slight lead, and, after a good race, won by a length, Foxhunter and Hegira running a dead heat for second place, and Fright finishing a neck from them. Nereus, who reared up at starting aiid never showed Hi the race, was » b^ d fifth, and Lawn sixths : the three two year olds being tailed off a long way. Run in i lmin 54sec.

They got away at the fourth attempt, Royal Sovereign showing in advance for about two hundred yards, when the running was taken up by Polly Peachum, closely attend by Fitz Roland, Abron, and Bridal Tour; Royal Sovereign, Sedbury, Deceiver, and Lord Stately lying next in a cluster, and Lord Glasgow's filly bringing up tbe rear. After passing the distance Fitz Roland, Lord Stately, aud Abron were in trouble, and Deceiver took a slight lead of the mare, which he held to the Stand, where Sedbury made his effort, and, after a slashiag race, won by a neck, Deceiver, who blundered in the last three strides, beating Polly Peachum by a head for the se- cond money. Bridal Tour was fourth about a neck from the favourite, Royal Sovereign fifth, close up with her, and Fitz Rolaud next, the others, headed by Lord Stately, being beateu several lengths; the two last were Accurate and Lord Glasgow's filly.

Tbe Vigil cut out the work, followed by Cave Adullam, Dusty Miller, and Riseber, Red Robin lying next at the head of the ruck some lengths in the rear of which in descending the hill were Sir Colin and Squire Watt. Obtaining a great advan- tage at the turn, however, the two latter got upon good terms with their horses at the road, and after crossing it Cave Adullam andDusty Miller beat a retreat. The grey then headed Vigil about half a length, and almost level with them on the lower ground was Sir Colin, who looked all over the winner until opposite the Stand, when he bore down to the rails", and The Vigil making her effort at the same instant won an exciting race by a head, Sir Colin having the same advantage over the favour- ite; Squire Watt, who finished the lower side about two lengths behind Sir Colin, being fourth, and Kestrel, Red Robin, aud Dusty Miller next.

Hollander aud the Slane colt broke away and caused two failures, and when the flag fell the former jumped round and was left behind. The running was made by Yaller Gal waited upon by Dramatist, the Slane colt, and Little Tom to the Stand, where the Slane colt took second place, and appeared to have the best ot it, but tiring at the finish was beaten by half a length, three quarters of a length between second and third. Little Tom was a bad fourth ; nothing else near. Run in 55sec. BETTING ON THE COURSE. When the betting opened on the. Downs Anton, Skirmisher, and Saunterer were such even favourites that we cannot attempt to say which had the call. 7 to 1 was taken about each of the three, and 8 to 1 offered " bar one," but after the defeat of Gemma di Vergy in the Craven by Blue Jacket, the latter's stable companion, Tournament, instantly sprang to the head of the poll. At 5 to 1 and 9 to 2 the investments, especially on the part of the public, were heavy, and before we left the course half a point less was taken. Both Anton and Skirmisher were affected by Tournament's advance ; but Sauuterer's owner and friends bore up so stoutly for their horse throughout the day— Mr Jackson repeatedly offering to back him for any amount up to five thousand against anything " first past the post"— that 6 to 1 was the highest offer against him at the close. Both Arsenal and M. D. were uncommonly firm, and the con- fidence of the latter's supporters seemed considerably heightened after Sir Colin's running iu the Rous. Stakes, as was likewise that of Adamas's backers after Huntington's success previously. Nothing else was iu particular favour, and the only outsider in demand was Oakball, who advanced from 50 to 1 to 1,000 to 30 ( taken). Wardermarske aud Sydney declined a few points upon their prices of the previous day, whilst Zuyder Zee returned amongst the 30 to 1 division, at which figure Blink Bonny was occasionally nibbled at, notwithstanding the preference in the market exhibited for her stable companion, Strathnaver. 10,000 to 50 was taken about Turbit, and 30,000 to 160 about Laertes, an outsider in John Scott's stable. Glenmasson was struck out at 10 a. m.,, Magnifier at 2: 45 p. m., and Blue Jacket at 4: 30 p. m.

WEDNESDAY,— So often has it fallen to our lot to descant upon the glories of this great metropolitan universal holiday, that the subject is worn perfectly threadbare; aud we every year experience the same difficulty in getting our pen to the starting post, lest, going off at score, wo should find ourselves on the wrong side of a post, or break down half way, under the apprehension of a charge of republishing some ancient account of the great event, to save ourselves trouble. That such accusations are sometimes hazarded we know, and a popular belief exists that we have on hand a set of stereotyped intro- ductions suitable for all weathers and circumstances, which, with few alterations, can be made to • fit any Derby day that may ever occur. There is nothing at all unnatural in this conjecture, for the ordinary features of the day are and have been the same from time immemorial, and, beyond the steady increase, year by year, in the number of visitors, they do not appear likely to undergo any material alteration— in our generation at least. The Derby day of 1857 has not differed in any respect, as far as the general public is con- cerned, from auy unusually fine Derby day within our recollection. Prom early morn it was evident that the weather was settled, and that the day would be as perfect for holiday purposes as that which preceded it. The aspect of the London streets was truly indicative of the occasion, and from nine o'clock until one there was the inevitable jam on London Bridge aud the rush of anxious travellers to the Epsom Railway Station, whence train after train was started with that despatch and regularity which Mr Hawkins and his assistants always contrive so well to preserve in the face of all that confusion and noii- conformity with order for which John Bull is renowned on the recurrence of his annual festival. Although the mass of railway travellers of course patronised this line, there were still found sufficient to give employment to the officials of the South Western Company in despatching many heavily laden trains to Kingston Station, whence hundreds took the pleasant and well- known walk across the fields and through shady lanes to the course, whilst others availed themselves of the more than sufficient accommodation provided by flymen, ' bus men, et id genus oinne. Numerous, however, as were the travellers by rail, their absence had no apparent effect upon the traffic by the road, which, from half- past eight or nine o'clock in the morning, presented an almost unbroken line of drags, posters, Hansoms, and every other species of vehicle describable or nondescript which, like the ancient postboys, appear to be carefully put by during the year, aud only resuscitated for these special occasions. From Merton Gate, on the Cheaai road, and from Mitcham, on the road through Sutton right into Epsom, there appeared to be walking processions of vehicles, three abreast, for at least two hours before the races began. There was quite as much chaff and fun as in olden times, and the so- called " glories of the road" seemed to exceed those of the most palmy days before railways were in existence. The scene on theDowns as the hour of commencement approached was most extraordinary, every Stand being crammed to repletion. Viewed from the Course or the Hill opposite, the principal building presented a most gay and exciting appearance— the latter term applicable to the dense black mass which filled the enclosure, whilst the former will apply to the elegant toilettes of the ladies by whom the balcony and private boxes were principally occupied. The building itself, as at present re- arranged, has not inaptly been termed the " opera- house of the British Turf," and what would be thought of the luxury of a stall or private box on a race course by our forefathers— if permitted to visit Epsom on the Derby day, can be better imagined than described. The Hill was a perfect mass of human beings and vehicles, and the sides of the course far beyond Tattenham Corner were lined with foot- people several deep, On the starting side also the crowd was proportion- ably great. The number of carriages of all sorts along the side of the course, opposite the Stand, and on the Kill, was cer- tainly larger than we ever remember, and the weather being so favourable the fair occupants were enabled to display their exquisite toilettes to the greatest advantage. Of course the majority of the visitors paid not the slightest attention to the first race, their time being fully occupied in making ready for the enjoyment of the contents of those gigantic hampers which form one of the chief characteristics of a Derby day, and which as a general rule are held sacred until the great event is decided. On this occasion, in consequence of the numerous false starts by which the great event was preceded, and other causes, the hungry thousands had to postpone their appetites a full hour beyond the usual time. As the hour of three o'clock approached expectation was on tiptoe, and when the police formed into what they called military liue aud marched along the course to clear it of its crowd of jugglers, mountebanks, outside betters, vocalists, & c, the excitement, as usual, became intense. Many laughable scenes, of course, took place, when stout ladies of a certain age and under- sized " gents" who had lost their " parties," attempted to break through the thin blue line Of Bobbies, but were compelled to reoaain in siting blessed- ness until after the Derby was decided. The usual dog was, it is needless to say, provided to run up aud down the course prior to the race, and on this occasion only he appeared to have been furnished by one of the police force, and after he had taken his preliminary canter he was borne off the course in the arms of bis apparent owner, evidently well pleased with his exploits. This canter over, it is now tiaie to turn our attention to graver events, and we must proceed at once to business. The first race was set for two o'clock, but speculators began to assemble in the inclosure soon after twelve, and from that hour until the commencement of the proceedings, it was " high change" in the Ring. The horses in most demand at this early stage were Tournament, Saunterer, M. D., and Zuyder Zee. As little as 7 to 2 was taken about the favourite, and 5 to 1 about Saunterer at first, when owing to the rush to back M. D., who was in such universal request that he advances to 7 to 1 ( takers), the two former gave way a point. A good deal of money was invested on Zuyder Zee chiefly by those anxious to " get out," and 1,000 to 10 was taken repeatedly about Gleesinger, an out- sider iu William Day's stable. Victor, who is trained by A. Taylor and not by Young King, was struck out at ten minutes before one. No little sensation was created by a protest against Sprig of Shillelagh being lodged with Messrs Weatherby on the ground of age, and by a rumour getting abroad that an objec- tion had likewise been raised against Saunterer on the ground of improper entry. In the latter case it arose solely from a question put by Mr Parr to Admiral Rous, as to whether, owing to there being two brood mares in the Sttul Book named Ennui — one ( Saunterer's dam) by Bay Middleton, and the other by Humphrey Clinker— it was not compulsory to describe the dam more fully than had been done in the case of Saunterer, whose entry appeared in the Calendar simply as a " black colt, by Irish Birdcatcher out of Ennui f' The Admiral's opinion was very decisive on the point, forinasmuch as that the Ennui by Humphrey Ciinker had no foal to Birdcatcher in 1854, there was not the slightest ground for supposing that a fraud could have been committed, nor was it at all neces- sary, in such cases, to distinguish the dam by a fuller descrip- tion. The conversation was entirely of a private nature, but, as is too much the custom in racing circles now- a- days, others " joined iu" most inexcusably, aud hence the rumour spread. With reference to the objection against Sprig of' Shillelagh, though putting the cart befbre the horse, we may here state that at Mr Copper thwaite's request " The Sprig" was examined by Mr Field in the presence of Mr Weatherby, after the races, aud declared to be of the proper age. Having already referred to the " gathering of the clans," we must confine our narrative to the business proceedings of this eventful day, which commenced with the Epsom Town Plate. Very little atteution was paid to the introductory item iu the Ring, however, and it is only necessary to add that the defeat of Ruth, who was a great " pot," served to strengthen the hopes of the bookmakers upon the Derby, to which they returned with increased zeal the instant Questionaoie's number was hoisted as the winner of the Plate. Whilst speculation was in full flow at the Stand, however, a vast number of the cognoscenti and others possessed of the necessary pass ticket departed to the Paddock to take stock of the differ- ent candidates tor Derby honours, of whom it was ascert ained no fewer than thirty would start, which number has only been exceeded on three previous occasions, viz, iu The Merry Monarch's, Co3sack's, and Teddington's years, when 31, 32, and 33 respectively went to the post. O . ving to the changes amongst many of the jockeys at the last, and the precaution taken by Mr Manning in stamping and entering in a book every saddle cloth with which they weighed in order to guard against tbe practice of trickery as far as possible, there was a little more delay than usual iu telegraphing the numbers; but they were at length displayed, when from amongst the thirty- four horses coloured on the card, there appeared the following absentees :— ISO. 5, The Old English Gentleman ; No. 7, King of the Porest; No. 11, Victor; No. 14, Pyrrhus the Second; and No. 33, Come- dian. The Dusty Miller ( No. 35) was not on the card. The en- trance to the Paddock was, as usual, blocked up by a dense mob, amongst which the light- fingered gentry abounded, and through which those possessing the requisite privilege were com- pelled to force their way vi et armis, accompanied in many in- stances by tke loss of watches, chains, " charms," and other available articles of jewellery. All this might easily be pre- vented if the mounted policemen were stationed outside instead of within the gate, wheie they sat on their horses like dummies, coolly watching the iun, instead of protecting the public by keeping the approaches clear. We are sure this has only to be pointed out to Mr Dorling to be remedied on future occasions. Time only permitted a " bird's- eye" glance at the different competitors, amongst which tbe favourites of course attracted most attention. Each horse was attended by his trainer, aud in certain instances by a whole retinue of followers. Skirmisher and Sauuterer walked together, but in the anxiety of the public to get a look at the " biack un" little attention was devoted to the former. Sauu- terer exhibited improvement since we saw him at Chester last year, aud was in perfect condition, but did not please tbe cognoscenti, who pronounced him a short horse. Tournament's appearance contradicted the sinister reports that had been cir- culated as to his having wintered badly and not grown, albeit many took exception to his immense neck, and to the " free sweating" which broke cut upon him when subsequently mounted. Bird in the Hand evidently lacked time, aud Zuyder Zee a better pair of " understandings," though in other respects the latter is the beau ideal of a race horse. Lady Huwthorn was a perfect picture, and the same remark, though altogether a dif- appearance bore out " Observer's" remark that his preparation had received Mr Parr's most careful attention, and the horse was no longer pooh- poohed as the bisr coarse common- looking huuter ot last year. Arsenal looked fit to run for his life, but perhaps the two which pleased us most were Antonand Adamas— the former a credit even to Danebury, whilst the latter, though in a small unpretending stable, was brought to the post by Escott in such admirable condition as to merit unqualified praise even from his brother professionals. Of William I'Anson's two ( who were saddled close to Sherwood's house, uear the start- ing- post), although the mare looked altogether a different animal to what she did at Newmarket, and was known to have regained the confidence of her owner, Strathnaver was evidently re- garded with more partiality by the public; yet as far as looks went, Blink Bonny s enormous power seemed far more suitable to the severity of the Derby course than that of her light corky little companion. Though almost a pony, his good looks caused Wardermarske to have many admirers, by whom a repetition of his half- brother's triumph of last year was regarded as anything but improbable. It was quite haphazard that we ran against Black Tommy, attended by his " faithful squire" and good- na- tured owner, who, after we had admired his horse's blooming ap- pearance, tipped us one of his knowing winks, and confidently recommended the investment of a " fiver," especially " for a place!" The preliminary inspection over, the horses were sad- dled and mounted, aud the course having been cleared by the police, who executed their difficult task in admirable stvle by marching shoulder to shoulder and driving the stragglers before them, the anxiety of the spectators was relieved by~ the appear- ance ol the cavalcade, the vanguard comprising Skirmisher, Saunterer, Chevalier d'Industrie ( who carried the white cap), Arsenal, Black Tommy, and Tournament. In the second lot, M. D. ( ridden by Templeman in a spicy new jacket of Mr T. Parr s), Adamas, and I'Anson's two, of whom Blink Bonny, ridden by Charlton ( who at the last moment was selected for the mare by his old friend Mr FAnson from amongst the jockeys that had been retained for the stable, although he wished to have ridden Strathnaver, as he and Sydney were the only two he had backed), carried the dark yellow cap for the sake of distinction betwixt her and Strathnaver. Whilst the horses are attracting the attention of the assembled masses in the Stand and at each side of the Course, which, at the souud of the final bell, even tbe privileged ticket holders received " notice to quit," a brief reference to the closing transactions in the Ring may not be out of place. Tour- nament wavered a trifle, but left off decidedly first f avourite, and a reaction in favour of Skirmisher brought him back from 9 to 1 to 100 to 15 ( takers). M. D., as in the early part of theafternoon, continued in great force to the close, and both he and Skirmisher gave Sauuterer the go- by, notwithstanding the confidence so openly exhibited by the owner aud trainer of the " black- uu." The " A division" comprised the three next favourites, of which Arsenal aud Adamas were in strong demand, especially the latter, whilst Anton evidently was not so much fancied by the public as by his own stable. Biink Bonny's starting had been considered so very uncertain up to the last moment by a certain portion of the public that there was quite a rush to " get out " when her number appeared on the telegraph, by those who had previously " done their duty" towards her. Old admirers of her two year old prowess were tempted by the mare's improved appearance to trust her again with their investments, whilst others who backed " Blink" at short odds, and would gladly have preferred the chance of saving their money, had no other alternative but to stand it out. As length the Babel- like con- fusion in the Ring began to subside, and the preparatory can- ters were anticipated with considerable curiosity. All eyes were directed towards Tattenham Corner, where the competitors quietly awaited the signal of Martin Starling to proceed to the post, Lady Hawthorn, from prudential motives, keeping aloof from the main body of horses. The first to gallop past was Adamas, accompanied by a stable companion in his clothes, and his action was pronounced faultless; he was followed at a re- spectful distance by Lord John Scott's mare, whose fine sweeping stride calledforth general admiratiom. Her " roaring" was vainly listened for, and though she made a peculiar slight noise, it was evidently not of much importance. The others succeeded in such rapid succession that it was impossible to notice each sepa- rately, suffice it to state that Strathnaver, M. D.. BlinkBonny, An- ton, Tournament and Black Tommy severally called forth the appro batiou of those around us, Ackworth, Turbit, and the Danebury pair being the last lot which passed the Stand a considerable time after the others. All forthwith directed their steDS to the trysting point, where Mr Edward Hibburd ( officiating for his brother) had been waiting, flag in hand, for some time, and a vast crowd was collected to witness the commencement of the struggle, the result of which was destined to " break or make" so many. The excitement at the moment was intense, and the hearts of man y might have been almost heard to palpitate as the moment pregnant with their fate approached. All who could, sought elevated positions, and every eye was turned in the direc- tion'of the starter, who quickly marshalled the troop into line, but his efforts to effect an even start were so frequently frus- trated, owing to the obstinacy of soma of the jockeys in attempt- ing to take advantage in front, and others remaining so far be- hind, that the patience of the spectators became well nigh ex- hausted; audit was not until upwards of a quarter of an hour had been " cut to waste" by these annoying causes, that the signal was given at three minutes to four— nearly an hour be- hind the appointed time. The start might have been better, but under the circumstances excuse is allowable, as Mr Hibburd unquestionably did his best, and the only horses to whom it may bo said to have been unfavourable were Adamas and M. D., the latter of whom was two or three lengths behind everything from the post, but quickly made up his disadvantage. As the race pro- ceeded the career of each favourite was watched with breathless anxiety, and the position of each in turn was proclaimed. In order to secure a pace both the Danebury and Findeu stables started " pilots" to serve Anton aud Arsenal, and they showed in advance to the mile post, when on Gaberlunzie's retirement, Anton want on with the running with a clear lead, which( except for a few strides at Tattenhasn Corner, where Lambourne, who laid at his heels to that point, headed him), he maintained as far as the distance. He was then joined by Arsenal and M. D. on the right, atid by I'Anson's two and Black Tommy, with Adamas in waiting, on the lower side; and so evenly balanced did the chances of each appear that first one and then another was proclaimed to be winning. The friends of Skirmisher, Saunterer, and Tournament looked in vain for their pets, whose fates were sealed byfore reaching Tattenham Corner; and the hopes of M. D.' s backers were extinguished just at the moment when, in the opinion of his jockey, he was about to realise them, by breaking down in the off fore leg. The next to exhibit symp- toms of defeat were Anton and Arsenal, the former of whom was headednearlyoppositetheSteward's Stand by Blink Bonny, Black Tommy, Strathuaver. and Adamas, between whom a most exciting race ensued, which was so closely contested to the very last stride that until the anxious excitement of the spectators was relieved by the hoisting of Blink Bonny's number ( 21), over those of Black Tommy ( 4), and Adamas ( 3), at the Chair, it was im- possible to foresee the judge's fiat— in fact, from running so wide of each other even the jockeys differed in opinion re- specting the second and third positions, which were alike claimed by Alfred Day, Eumby, aiid J. Goater, the former of whom, with an eye to the heavy bets depending upon Anton's being one of the first three, kept a little in reserve for that purpose, when he found his chance of winning hopeless. Mr Robinson, however, had the unexpected good luck to land a double event bet of 10,000 to 100 about Malacca winning the Cambridgeshire and Blink Eonny the Derby, which proved a satisfactory " set- oil" against other losses. The decision of the race was attended by the usual scene of excitement which it has fallen to our lot to describe on so many Derby anniversaries, not the least curious feature being the rush of the mob towards the Stand to do homage to the fortunate heroine, who. judging from the cheering which accompanied her return, has earned for herself as much popularity in the South as she previously en- j'oyed in the North; and Malton can claim the honour of training another Derby winner, ridden likewise by a Malton jockey. Both Mr I'Anson and Charlton ( his maiden Derby) were warmly congratulated upon their success; which " to the latter proved the moro gratifying, owing to the misun- derstanding that arose bstween him and his late employer respecting the running of Sydney iu tbe Two Thousand— a per- formance, by the bye, upon which the Baron's horse exhibited a falling off rather than an improvement to- day. Charlton ex- presses himself jii most indignant terms at the lnsinuatioas that were made about his riding on that occasion, and is determined to seek a thorough investigation, to which, it must be allowed, he is fairly entitled. The time of the race— 2 minutes 45 seconds- was the quickest ever known. All cares and unpleasantness, however, were forgotten for the time, and drowned in bumpers of champagne to the health of Blink Bonny. Winners rejoiced over their success, awdthe losers cursed their bad fortune, but con- soled themselves by hoping for better luck hereafter. The unex- pected triumph of Blink Bonny, besides exhibiting the " glorious uncertainty" of racing, fell like a thunder clap upon the Ring, the majority of whom had not a WGTSSlSserm tueir books; for after her wretched exhibition in the One Thousand, only a month previously, so light an opinion was entertained of her Derby chance, even by what are considered the cleverest judges of racing, that few embraced the favourable opportunity of hedging the money laid against her during the winter. Those who had backed her previously at short odds, and reckoned their invest- ments asgoiie, " thanked theirstars" at so unlookedfora" turnup;" yet there were others, including her owner and the whole of his friends, who, from a knowledge of the mare's state at the time, put her Newmarket running altogether on one side, and in- creased their gains by backing her at long prioes after her de- feat there, Mr I'Anson, Mr Singleton, Mr H. Hill, Mr C. Rey- nard, Mr Megson, Mr Bennett, and Mr J. Robson are men- tisned as the principal winners, Mr I'Anson, who pre- viously stood a large stake to nothing, having taken 4,000 to 100 about his mare ( for whom, at the period of her decline in the betting last winter he refused £ 6.000,) after her arrival at Epsom, in addition to some lonsr shots about " rePeaticS the Eleanor feat of winning both Derby and Oaks. Taken altogether the present Derby has been one of the most extraordinary on record, and it would be an act of great injustice to Mr I'Ansou not to bear testimony to the straightforward honourable conduct which has distinguished him throughout the piece, in spite of the market influences brought to bear in certain quarters, whereby the innocent were thrown off their guard, and opinions indulged in of which the present result affords the most satisfactory contradiction.

On almost every occasion the favourites, with the exception of M. D. and Adamas, were amongst those which broke away, aud the riders of Skirmisher, Strathnaver, and Zuyder Zeo were fined £ 10 each, and Kendall £ 5, for refusing to obey the starter's orders to come back ; whilst the other jockeys escaped by obeying after the first caution. One ® f the chief causes of the frequent failures, however, was Laertes, whose jockey, on the plea of setting the others a good example, kept aloof some distance behind the post, and thereby destroyed two or three favourable chances of effecting a much better start than that which eventually took place. When the flag fell, Commotion was the first to show in advance, but after running about a hundred aud fifty yards he was passed by the Chevalier d'Industrie ( who did duty for Arsenal), and he in turn was headed by Gaberlunzie, tlie Danebury " pilot " wha was followed to the top of the hill by the Chevalier, at whose sorts of insinuations were thrown out respeciing Blink Bonny I S K^^ SmKll during the winter, and her fluctuations in the betting at " the Siffl ^ fS^ w^^ Wi^^. W? Zee » _ , betting Corner gave rise to the belief that she was a " safe ' un." The true cause, however, we are assured by her owner, was an attack of dentition fever, brought on by the mare cutting her teeth. After Doncaster, where she was known to be a little off," Blink Bonny began to thrive wonderfully, and Mr I Ansoa left her as well as possible ( under the care of his son Robert, who has always looked after her, and on most occasions ridden her in public), when he started to the Liverpool Autumn Meeting last November, but on his re- turn from Shrewsbury he found her amiss, and since that period she has been regularly attended by two veterinary surgeons. Previous to being brought out at Newmarket she could scarcely eat her corn, and as a matter of course was in a thoroughly weaK state, but wishing to keep faith with the public, and thinking her good enough to win the Thousand even in that con- dition, Mr I* Anson started the mare— with what result our readers are well acquainted. Since then her teeth have been rasped twice, and she has fed aud done much better, but even now cannot masticate a feed of corn \ vitho* t considerable diffi- culty. Blink Bonny and Eleanor ( in 1S01) are the only instances of a mare winning the Derby, and with such proof before them we trust " Constant Readers " and others will save themselves the trouble of asking the often repeated question—" Can mares run for the Derby r" Black Tommy was within an ace of realis- ing his owner's " tip " to us, and of accomplishing one of those surprises wherewith Mr Drinkald delights to " asSonish the natives "— St Lawrence, The Widow, and others to wit. The " good thing" was kept with that extraordinary secresy which lurbit, Lady Hawthorn, Wardermarske, Arsenal, Black Tommy' Loyola, Saunterer, I'Anson's two, Skirmisher, aud Tourna- pent, whilst iu the rear lay Bird in the Hand, Adamas, Newton le ( Villows, the Beeswax colt, Special Licence, anil M. D tha latter being two or three lengths behind everything from the post. Before reaching the mile post, however, lie got upon better terms with his horses, and along with Adamas took his oerth m about the middle of the foremost division, amongst which several changes were already noticeable. Gaberlunzie scarcely retained his lead so far, aud after running head and head with the Chevalier for a short distance, Alfred Day took Anton to the front, and increased the pace so perceptibly that the stragglers, thus early, dropped off rapidly in the furzes. Both Saunterer and M. D. now began to assume more prominent positions, and at the commencement of the rails, near the T. Y. C. post, Saunterer joined Oak- ball and Commotion, who were following the Chevalier and Lamboume. At tne top of the hill, M. D. took his place next to Mr Barber's horse, and he was followed to Tatten- T, vm, Corner by Arsenal, Black Tommy, Turbit, Strathnaver, Blink Bonny, and Adamas, almost in the order we have given their names,— Skirmisher, Lady Hawthorn, Zujder Zee, and the others who had been lying forward in the early part being now out of the race, Zuyder Zee dropping astern the instant he began to descend the hill. In making the turn, Lambourne headed Auton for a few strides, and then resumed his former position but lost the companionship of the Chevalier and Oakball the former of whom stopped so suddenly that Oakball, who* was when he means business; but so slight was the opinion enter- tained of Black Tommy's chance after his indifferent running last year ( during the whole of which he suffered more or less from a cough, and at one period from the strangles) that one large bookmaker laid Mr D., at Newmarket during the recent Spring Meeting, £ 20,000 to a coat, waistcoat, and hat, against him i This bet, however, he subsequently let the layer off, having previously taken 10.000 to 150 from him last year, which, together with one of 10,000 to 20 which the " leviathan " laid him at Bath, and others at the same ratio, would have made up a nice little stake if Covey ( who rode his horse as well as a jockey could do), had succeeded in landing Black Tommy's head first at the post. His winning would likewise have made a won- derful difference to the Riner, few of whom laid a shilling against him, and, moreover, wouid have upset all the double and treble event bets wherein Blink Bonny was taken for the Derby, many of which were decided to- day. The performance of Adamas wul speak for itself, and bears out the opinion last week ex- pressed by our correspondent " Observer" respecting his chance. The Doncaster running with Blink Bonny aud Skirmisher was confirmed; nor could Wardermarske reverse positions either with him or Strathnaver; and but for the unfortunate contre- temps which befel M. D., when, in the opinion of his jockey, his horse was winning easily, our prophecy would have been realised to the very letter. The two " great guns" from the North- Skirmisher and Saunterer— as well as the favourite Tournament cut up very indifferently; but Anton and Arsenal, on the other hand, confirmed, to some extent, the confidence of their sup- porters by obtaining forward positions at the finish. Leaving to our able collaborateur " Observer," the task of discussing more fully next week the leading features of this eventful race, we must now take leave of the subject, but cannot do so without paying a iproper compliment to the judgment btrathnaver and Blink Bonny I shall couple. Bv winning the Dee Stakes, the former has certainly proved himself, to say tue least of it, as good as any of the Two Thousand Guineas horses. [ He just beat Anton.] Last year, and, I believe, up to the decision of the One Thousand Guineas Stakes, it was uni- versally supposed that ' Blink ' in the Derby could, with her allowance, give him a stone, if not without it; and that she would win the One 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 his Two Thousand Guineas form; Daniel O'Rourke, who, I be- beve, was last iu the Two Thousand, won the Derby; and Lady Evelyn, who was beaten by a very bad mare iu the One Thou- sand m her year, won the Oaks 1 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 1 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, winch from the present aspect of affairs 1 am disposed to think she will do. People may laugh; and so they would have done if any prophet last year had taken Ellington as his winner. I, myself, as early as January, 1856, took him as the first horse on the list, but discarded him, as everybody else did, after his de- foat- Still the highest offers from the most stentorian lungs should not make me stand a stake against Blink Bonny that it would be inconvenient to pay, and I fully expect to see as much anxiety to keep her harmless on the day as there was last year with Fly by night!" The remainder of the racing, as is invariably the case on the Derby Day," created little interest. A walk over by Ida for the Bentiuck Plate afforded au additional interval after the great event for pickuicking on the hill and visiting one's friends. 1 he other two items were very hollow affairs, Sir Colin literally running away with the Cup, whilst Polly Johnson, who, like her namesake, had hosts of admirers, proved too clever a " per- former" in the Durdans for the lot that attempted to " shake a leg with her, and subsequently placed 80 guineas to the credit side of the fund. It was nearly seven o'clock beforei the pro- ceedings terminated, but punctuality on the " Derby Day" is out of the question; and as the bulk of the company had taken their departure after the great race, the extra delay prevented much of the confusion which invariably occurs when everybody is desirous of moving at the same instant. We had almost omitted to state that the Oaks betting was materially influenced by the result of the Derby, the winner of which was backed at b to 4 for the former race before we left the Downs, nothing else being mentioned. A bet of forty " monkeys"— 20,000 to 500— was taken about Mr F. Robinson's Antonio ( late Antenor, bro- ther to Anton and Ana over) for the Derby, 1859. The only question that occurred to our minds on leaving the course was, how were the numerous vehicles ever to extri- cate themselves from the extraordinary entanglement into which they had got. The scene at the railway terminus at Epsom beggared description, and, had it not been for the very judicious arrangements made bv the Company, some serious accident must have occurred. We did not hear of a single one, however, to mar the pleasures of the day, and we think the public will agree with us iu saying that this fact speaks volumes in favour of the exertions of the rail- way officials, from the highest to the lowest. The southern roads were, as usual, crowded for miles with gaily- dressed parties, anxious to catch a glimpse of the returning throngs, who until a very late hour continued to pour into town, ail apparently bent upon keeping up the fun and jollity to the very latest moment.

After crossing the road, Commotion andTurbit were disposed of, and the race now assumed altogether a new phase. Arsenal and M. D. took their places at Anton's quarters ou the whip hand, and almost level with them Blink Bonny, Black Tommy, and Strathuaver, at whose heels followed Adamas, drew up on the lower ground; Lam- bourne, Warderuiarske, Sydney, Saunterer, Skirmisher, Commo- tion, Tournament, and Zuyder Zee, as near as we could make out succeeding them, in a body, the three favourites, however, being unmistakeably beaten at the road. There was noimportant change in the front rank, until reaching the distance, when M D. pulling double at the time and looking all over the winner broke down badly in his off fore leg, and of course dropped ra- pidly astern. Anton was in trouble soon afterwards, aud oppo- site the centre of the Stand was passed by the mare ( leading), Black Tommy, Strathnaver, and Adamas, between whom a mag- mficent struggle ensued, which resulted in Blink Bonny's favour by a neck. Black Tommy defeated Adamas for second money by a snort head, and the latter, who. running wide on the lower ground, made a tremendous effort at the last, beat Strathnaver by a neck. Arsenal headed Anton just upon the post, and finished hftu at Strathuaver's girths, Wardermarske being seventh about half a length from the Danebury horse-- in fact so close was this lot together that there was not a couple of lengths between them, and the riders of Anton, Arsenal, and Strathnaver each fancied himself to be second. An interval of three or four lengths separated the second division, composed of Zuyder Zee, Sprig of Shillelagh, Sydney, Tournament, Oakball, Skirmisher, Saunterer, Lam- bourne, and Commotion, who passed the post, as nearly as we could make out, in the order named, though, after the first seven, we do not guarantee the " platings, 1' owing to the lot being so widely scattered. The remaiuder straggled in at wide intervals, the last lot consisting of Bird in the Hand Laertes Dusty Miller, Loyola, Newton ie Willows, Special Licence, The Chevalier d'Industrie, ana Gaberlunzie, the latter of whom did not pass the post.

Blink Bonny was bred by Mr William I'Anson, of Spring Cot- tage, Malton, aud is got by Melbourne out of Queen Mary, the daai of Haricot, Braxey, Blooming Heather, Balrownie, Bannie Scotland, & c. In 1855 she missed to Touchstone, and in the two following years foaled colts by Annandale, the yearling being called Baluamoon. Biink Bonny is a bay mare, standing 15 hands 2} inches high, has a very neat lean head, rather wide ears, and good length of neck ; is very deep in the girth, and possesses beautiful oblique shoulders, immense ribs, powerful quarters, drooping a little towards the tail, which is a thin " switch," with vary strong thighs, great bone, and large hocks and knees. She has a white blaze in the face running down towards the nose, and one white fore fetlock joint.

THURSDAY— The by day between the Derby and Oaks offers no attraction to visitors, and it is likewise regarded with comparatively little interest even by the professionals and regular habitues of the Turf, who, influenced by the summer character of the weather, mustered nevertheless in tolerable force ; outside the Stand, the show of company was miserably deficient, even compared with the first day's attendance. The racing scarcely calls for remark. It commenced with tnelour Year* Old Stakes, which, in the absence of Fazzoletto owing to the hard state of the ground, afforded some spirited betting between Pitapat aud Walmer, the latter, who was the non- favourite, winuing aftera good set- to hy a length, lhe Two I ear Stakes, which brought out eleven runners, afforded a pretty race between four, and Princess Royal— the selection of " Observer"— recompensed her stable to some extent for the defeat of Polly Peachum in the Woodcote on Tuesday. Chutney, who ran in Mr Howard's colours, was disposed of in the course of the morning to Mr R. Walker. Her Majesty's Plate for mares was a mere canter for Mary, and Mr Saxon threw in a third main in the Grand Stand Plate with Tom Thumb, who was ob- jected to for net having carried a penalty for winning on the first day at Shrewsbury. It subsequently transpired, however, that the weights were not published until the second day ol that meeting, and the objection of course fell to the ground. Unex- pected won the Selling Stakes for his new owner, owing to Bobby B. bolting opposite the Stand wheH he appeared to have ji I A- ' J- 1 1 A 11E mtinnna t. ha T? » » in XU6 the best of it, and added 115 guineas to the lund proceedings terminated with the Cobham Plate, which was won in hollow style by Fright, who upset a couple of " pots ' with which New Brighton and Red Robin were entrusted. The Oaks betting was almost entirely between one and the field, Blink Bonnv, who was stated to be none the worse for her previous day's exertions, leaving off with the decided call— 600 to 500, and 5 to 4 in several instances was betted on her. The outlay altogether must have amounted to between four and five thousand pounds, iu3perieu. se was backed at 9 to 2,10 to 1 was offered against Sneeze, and 12 to 1 " bar three," The following transactions upon the Derby of 1858, came to our knowledge: 2 000 to 100 agst Steamer, 5,000 to 200 agst Cock- a- doodle Doo, 5,000 to 200 agst Deceiver, and 2,000 to 60 agst Vandyke.

At a wide interval Meiita was fifth, Little Treasure sixth, and Pavilion and Botany next. The latter mare, whose right eye was so badly injured in the train that she appeared to be quite blind on that side, blundered against Pavilion at starting, and jumped the black patch left by the soot which had been thrown out by the sweeps in front of the Stand after the cleansing of the chimneys prior to the meeting.

England's Beauty, who had been lying second, then took up the running, Inspiration going on second with Maid of Perth, to the hill, in descending which Mary began to improve her position, and, rounding Tattenham Corner, she took her place next to England's Beauty, whosn she quitted at the distance, and won easily by a length. Renown, who tailed off in the early part of the race, came with a wet sail after entering the straight, finishing a bad third several lengths in advance of Inspiration. The others were beaten some dis- tance, Isabella being tailed off nearly a quarter of a mile. Run in 4min 19sec.

Hollander led to the mile, when the running was taken up by Tinwald, followed by Theory and Hollander to the mile post, after passing which the latter broke down and dropped into the rear, Claude Lorraine then took third place, Tom Thumb, Nougat, and Tame Deer going on in close attendance. This order was maintained over the road at Tattenham Corner, when Tinwald was joined on the right by Theory and Tame Deer, and Tom Thumb on the lower ground. This lot ran in close order to the Stand, when Theory dropped back, and left the other three to fight it out, a goed race resulting in Tom Thumb's favour by half a length, Tame Deer beating Tinwald by a length. Claude Lorraine was a moderate fourth, Ruth fifth, Theory sixth, aud Nougat next. Hollander walked in. Run in 2min 57sec.

John Peel was a bad fourth, and Ceres last. Run in lmin 23sec. THE OAKS DAY. FRIDAY.— The Oaks or " ladies' day," with which the Great Surrey Festival terminated, though on the whole a success, would not bear comparison, either in point of attendance or weather, with its more attractive rival on Wednesday. The morning was dull and hazy, and shortly after the commencement of business the change which had been anxiously looked for earlier in the week came, and the afternoon turned out wet. The rain was by no means heavy, however, although sufficient to freshen up the parched turf, and lay the dust which throughout the meeting had been a source of considerable annoyance to the visitors. The show of company on the Downs rather exceeded the average of an " Oaks day," owing no doubt to the interest centered in the re- appearance of the winner of the Derby for the great event of to- day, and the probability of witnessing a repetition of the double triumph of Sir Charles Bunbury's Eleanor in 1801. There was a remarkably good attendant within the inclosure both of the " upper ten thousand" and bookmakers, the latter of whom pursued their avocation with their wonted energy upon the Oaks until the telegraphing of the starters for the Railway Plate drew their attention to the opening race of the day, The " pot" for this was Renown, who jeopardised her chance by running out at Tattenham Cor- ner, whilst the advantage thereby obtained by Squire Watt just won him the race, which resulted in his favour by a head, after one of the finest contests seen during the meeting, a head only separating each of the first four. The Oaks, like the Derby, was the second event on the card, and immediately after the decision of the introductory item the Paddock became the trysting point to which the cognoscenti and others wended their way. Blink Bonny, of course, was in everybody's mouth, and great anxiety was manifested on all sides to discover, if possible, whether her race on Wednesday had to any extent affected her. But the same tactics were again observed as for the Derby, and the mare wss saddled near Sherwood's stables, where sne stood during the meeting. In the absence of the " crack," there- fore, the other candidates came in for £ some attention, and all were more or less fancied, John Scott's filly Imp6rieuse, the con- queror of " Blink" in the One Thousand, being honoured with by far the most numerous levee. If the winner of the Derby had been out of the way, the race would undoubtedly have created a greater interest, owing to the fondness previously exhibited by the stables of Imperieuse, Sneeze, Orianda, Sister to Jesuit, Augury, Moestissima, and the Danebury pair; but the idea of lowering Blink Bonny's colours was pronounced a foregone conclusion. The fielders, however, possessing more elastic con- sciences, evidently did not coincide in that opinion, and the odds of 13 to 8, which, in the early part of the day had been freely betted on the " crack," fell to 5 to 4, at which price, encouraged by the support awarded to Imperieuse at the close, they " stood it like men;" although, when Blink Bonny was seen in her pre- paratory canter to exhibit no trace whatever of soreness, and to " go like a bird," the race looked, in reality, a " certainty "— bar an accident, And so it turned out I The preliminaries being almost precisely similar to what has been so fully described in our introductien to the Derby, we shall make no apologv for conducting our readers at once to the post, where fortunately, although a couple of slight failures oc- curred, there was no repetition of the delay which caused so much annoyance and dissatisfaction on Wednesday. The race is soon told. The services of Hegira, who was not on the card, were secured as a " pilot" for Blink Bonny, and she made the best pace she was capable of for about half a mile, when Alfred Day repeated his Derby tactics, _ and took up the running on The Vigil, who remained in front to the foot of the" hill at Tattenham Corner. Blink Bonny, who had been pulling Charlton's arms off, then went to the fron » , and ealloping away from her followers as if they were standing still, won by eight lengths, amidst the most deafening cheering from the spectators, who, in their anxiety to obtain a view of the wonder of the present day literally carried the " square" formed by the police by storm. Mr I'Anson was quite overburdened with congratulations, aud after Charlton had " passed the scale," both were called upon by their frienus to assist at a repetition of their Derby rejoicings. Champagne flowed in all directions, nor were the officials and jockeys in the weighiiig- rooaa forgotten. " Success to Blink Bonny and her owner," was a toast of frequent repetition, and as ad- mirers of the straightforward honourable course which had been observed by Mr 1' Anson throughout, we tender him our con- gratulations upon the accomplishment of the glorious double victory of winning Derby and Oaks with the same animal— a feat heretofore accomplished only by Sir Charles Bun- bury's celebrated mare Eleanor, who, like Blink Bonny, was ridden for both races by the same jockoy. Other jockeys of the present day can boast of having ridden the winners of the Derby and Oaks in the same year, including Robinson, Chappie, and Templeman ( twice in succession); but Charlton, after all, bears away the palm by his present achieve- ment, Mr I'Anson and his friends increased their previous winnings considerably by the result of the Oaks, upon which the " gentlemen" also won, whilst the Ring was again hit" rather heavily, and we regret to hear rumours of several serious cases of default, the truth of which, however, can only be learnt at the " settling" on Monday and Tuesday next. Such a hollow victory has seldom been witnessed in a race like the Oaks, although The Queen of Trumps literally " spread- eagled" her field in 1S35, and enabled the judge to place the whole ten. All the runners ( eleven) were placed for the Derby when Eleanor won it, and to commemorate Blink Bonny's double victory, Mr Clark placed the whole thirteen on this occasion. This is the largest number ever placed for the three great races; eleven ob- tained that distinction in the Oaks in 1780, and the Leger m 1792 ; and ten in the Leger in 1777,1779, and 1801. For further particulars of the running for the Oaks we must refer our readers to the description of the race below, as neither time nor space will permit us to extend our introductory re- marks further; nor does the remainder of the racing call for par- ticular notice, except that the favourites were successful in all but one, in which instance Agra broke down. The total sum realised from sales duriug the meeting, which on the whole was most successful, and afforded sorae remarkably close and exciting struggles— good proof of the excellence of the handicapping— amounted to 320 guineas. In concluding our lengthy report we willingly bear testimony to Mr Dorling's excellent arrangements for conducting the meeting, which were efficiently carried out by the Newmarket staff of officials ( Mr Hibburd being, as at Bath, represented by his brother), and the police under Superintendents Walker, Hughes, and Fenn ; Inspectors Bray, D. Ward, A. Ward, Butt, & c. Sergeants Whicher and Langley were on duty at the Grand Stand, but notwithstanding the vigilance of those well- known officers several depredations were committed by the swell mob during theexcitement which ensued immediatelyaftertlieDerby, and, amongst other victims was Mr Wm. I'Anson, the owner of Blink Bonny, who, though the latter had " told the time of day" in the Derby, found himself minus his " ticker" after- wards ! Mr G. M. Coppard attended at the private Stand, and Fuller Andrews at the weekly ticket entrance of the enclosure. Tne dinners and other refreshments, provided by Messrs Jaquet aud Woodruffe at the Grand Stand sustained their well- known popularity as caterers, and the veteran Careless, as usual, was well patronised at his establishment next door.

TO THE EDITOR OP BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : The late hour at which the Epsom meeting terminated, and the bearing which the Oaks had on the Derby, compels me to defer until next week my impressisns on both races. At the same time I may say this much in praise of the meeting— that never of late years has its Derby aud Oaks been marked with such interesting occurrences and results; or has ever fortune favoured an individual so much as Mr I'Anson, who, not dis mayed by his One Thousand defeat, retrieved the reputation of his mare, in whom his confidence never abated, by the adoption of his treatment towards her. Henceforth Eleanor and Blink Bonny will be identical in the annals of the Turf. The Manchester Meeting occupies the attention of the racing world during the ensuing week, when the fact of the Art Treasures Exhibition occurring during the same period, and the London and North Western Railway Company having signified their intention of putting on cheap trains, it is impossible to doubt but that a large number of the members of the Turf will avail themselves of the opportunity of " killing two birds with one stone." The programme is a mast liberal one in every respect, and that there will be abundance of sport no one can question ; but being totally in'the dark as to the intentions of owners, and the market affording not the slightest clue to them, I must be excused at the end of ameeting at Epsom, from saying more upon the subject here.— Yours, & c, OBSERVER.

Y. C.; 25 subs. 5 to 4 on Blink Bonny ( tk) 3 to 1 agst Imp^ rieuse 10 to 1 Sneeze 12 to 1 Moestissima The start, which took place at ten minutes past three, was pre- ceded by two failures, the first caused by Cantrip breaking away, and the second owing to the fractiousness of Tricolour, who re- fused to go to the post. The Vigil showed in advance for about three hundred yards, when Hegira, who was started to cut out the work for the favourite, rushed past her and took a clear lead, followed by The Vigil, Tricolour, and Augury — Imp^ rieuse, Sister to Jesuit, Orianda, Sneeze, and Blink Bonny, lying next in a body, Mcestissima behind them, and Lord Glasgow's filly and Cantrip some lengths in the rear of her. There was no change until passing the mile- post, when Hegira having shot her bolt dropped rapidly astern, leaving the lead once more with the Vigil, who on the retirement of Tricolour was followed to Tattenham Corner by Augury, Imp6rieuse, Sister to Jesuit, Blink Bonny, Sneeze, and Orianda, who clustered toge- ther in descending the hill, at the foot of which Orianda aud Augury were disposed of. The race, in fact, may be said to have been over at that point, for directly after entering the straight the favourite galloped through her horses, quitted them in a couple of strides, and increasing her lead as she went on, won pulling double by eight lengths— making such an example of her followers that the judge had no difficulty in placing the lot, which, to commemorate so memorable an event he accomplished. All doubts respecting the issue being over at the road, what little interest thereafter attached to the race centered in the competition for second money, which Sneeze secured by an advantage of four lengths over Moestis- sima, who, overpaced in the early part, began to catch the beaten lot from Tattenham Corner, and passing Sister to Jesuit, and Vigil half way between the road and the distance, headed Imperieuse, who was uot persevered with from the Stand, and obtained the barren honour of third place, the interval between her and John Scott's mare being tho same as between the second and third. The others were widely scattered, Tricolour being tailed off an immense distance. Run in 2min 50secs. Nett value of the stakes, £ 3,565. WINNERS OF THE OAKS.

Hegirah was sold after the Oaks to Mr W. I'Anson. Died, on the 6th April, 1857, at Mysore, near Madras, East India, of the cholera and fever combined, after a brief illness of twelve days, in the 21st year of his age, Thomas Wood, son of Mr Thomas Ewbank Wood, Turf Tavern, Norton, Malton. Died, at his Chateau of Sommerschonberg, in Prussia, on the 12th April, the most noble Count Gneisenau, eldest son of the celebrated Field- Marshal of that name. He was known to many in England. Was president of the German Jockey Club in Berlin, and for his upright, just, and honourable conduct towards all, lived, and has died respected. In the war for the liberation ef Germany, between St Germain and Versailles, the whole regiment of Hussars in which he served were to a man cut to pieces in an ambush, with the exception of himself and one other who escaped. He will long be regretted by his friends and his tenants as an honourable nobleman, and an upright gentleman. age st lb D, O.' 6.. 8 10 Sir Row.

( FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CHANTILLY RACES-( CONCLUDED). Thursday's racing was a great improvement upon the middle day generally, which falls as a by day, aud is devoted partly to the exhibition of the gentlemen riders. Preliminary to the commencement of business an argument arose, and differences of opinion were offered on the definition of a " gentleman." It is a matter requiring too much space for us to enter into here, and as the decision is to be given after Versailles Races, it will be time enough then, if necessary; one thing, however, we must suggest, viz, that a man s peculiarities, talents, or tastes should not be held against him, and prevent his riding as a gentleman, if he be " gentle born" and do not ride for hire; for it is no argument" that he rides too well, and trains his own horses, & c," for were that to be the rule, as wo fear it is the sentiment of the opposition, why " thorough muff" will be the qualifi- cation, and " gentleman" a term synonymous. The objection having been held good Brulot fell under other hands, and after three hard- fought heats with Enchanteresse, succumbed. Seven- teen two year olds were pulled out for the Prix du Premier pas, and the first of the Lanercosts which have appeared in France won in a gallant style. The objectionable manner of starting horses in this country renders these short races anything but criterions of merit; forjbeingput into a line, with their tails to the winning post, and started when on the turn, even if they all get off well— which is rarely the case, and next to impossible— the extreme ends run into the middle of the course, and " shut out," or more properly " shut in" the centre division, who are thus all thrown into a heap, and must either be held back by their jockeys until an opening seems possible, or must run into the heels of the leading horses. Some of these, of course, are " slow coaches," and as they fall back beaten just serve to prevent a real good horse ever getting, perhaps, in front at all. This was the case with Baron Rothschild's colt by El- thiron, who being an immense horse, with an immense stride, met with so many disappointments that he never could get up, otherwise the " pot" with which he was entrusted would pro- easy manner in which the former beat Paladin at Paris, and afterwards won the Oaks, but towards the day of running fell back to 6, 7, and 8 to 1, the filly advancing to second favourite at 4tol, Brutus was decidedly big, but no doubt is a horse re- quiring a deal of careful work and time, being a heavy, thick- set horse. Madame de Chantilly looked, and was declared to be, quite up to the mark; whilst Claire merely added one more to the number of starters, to be seen, perhaps, to more advantage some other day. The Lamorlaye division produced Duchess and Serious only, and exhibited but little confidence of winning, although they felt pretty sure of explaining the error of the Oaks running. The animals were as well as their clever and careful trainer could make them " under the circumstances," 1 he stable of Madame Latache de Fay was represented by a half sister to Ron zi, a clever uader- sized animal, named Last f? ™ - ° ll! y tne wonders she had done with her sister in traUWwas necessary; but the imposture was too strong, as she. had no more to do with the race than the remaining two and Claire, who were all out of it before they had gone three- quarters of a mile. After drawing for places, andt taking their preparatory canters, they wer?. marshalled to the post, when three of the most vexatious false starts were made by Paladin, the mares of course the suf- ferers by these annoyances. At last the flags were lowered, and Paladin was at his orders with the lead; but they had not run one hundred yards when the favourite, who was last, fell, and, rolling over Kitchener, left him on the turf apparently lifeless. The horse wa, s soon stopped, and was but slightly injured, but not so his jockey, who did not come- to for several hours after- waros, beiug quite stunned and very severely bruised about the head and neck, from which, however, he has now quite reco- vered. Mademoiselle de Chantilly followed Paladin to the stables, when she collared him, and the pair went on head and head up the hill into the straight. Here they were told out, and their stable companions, Potockiand Brutus, came to their as- sistance ; at the distance Ashmall called on his horse, and won easily by two lengths. The success of M Lupin with another animal, after the accident to liis favourite, is somewhat extra ordinary, and there are not wanting many who believe such woulu have been the finale under any circumstances. The win- ner, however, has proved himself a very superior animal, his stoutness being uadeniable; he is unfortunately of what is termed m France " doubtful" pedigree, being returned as by The Baron or Nunnykirk, although evidently by the latter. He is a long, loose, common- looking horse, without a good point— according to reoognised rules— length and plenty of bone, combined with good action, making up for his deficiencies, and apparently being the means whereby he obtains his success; time, also, may yet do much more for liim, and if he run on until four years old, furnish him into a right good animal. He is so great a slug that his jockey can never tell when he has had enough, and as ho has not yet been beaten or stretched in public, it has yet to be discovered how he will take it. In the stable he has received the nickname of " Old Dadda," from his infirm gait and sleepy manner, and to the usual caprice of all good horses for a cat as a companion, he has added the society of a toad, who would not be kept out of his box upon any consideration, return- lng to his companion regularly at night although removed by the lads continually into other horses'boxes. At least so goes the " tale of the toad," to which, of course, is attached an im- mense amount of superstition, and, as it has not been seen since the Derby day, it is supposed that, its mission being fulfilled, it has returned to " fairy land." It will be remembered that for three years now in succession M Lupin's " crack horse" has met with an accident, in 1855 breaking his leg, in 1S56 breaking down, and in 1S57 falling, and upon the race to- day it is reported that he is scarcely a winner. The Count de Lagrange's party and the Lamorlaye division must be generally large losers, having backed all their horses, and,- except in particular instances, hedged on to Florin to save their money, aud thus are losers on both sides. The chief winners must be the bookmakers, but most of them have the name of Potocki in their volume at long prices, and probably did not much care to hedge about him, knowing that Florin carried the stable money. Altogether, however, a good deal of money will change hands, aud in a very unexpected manner. The positions of all the horses were in opposi- tion to their declared merits and favour in the betting; for, setting aside M Lupin's lot, which won with a com- paratively despised animal, we see the Count de Lagrange's second favourite before his first, and the same thing with the Prince de Beauvau's. To show, as it were, the untruth of the reported trials of Last Born and Ronzi, in the last race of the day the old mare was brought out against some youngsters, and never gave them a chance, but running away from end te end won in a canter. At the last turn Cazea bolted through the crowd with the juvenile Carter, and parted company with him ; it was thought at first that his collar bone was broken, but a few bruises were all he had to complain of. Thus ended a day more full of accidents than any steeple chase day of present times, each race being productive of some casualty, although fortu- nately without any fatal results either to horses or joekeys. Had Florin been in front when he fell, there is no calculating what might have happened; and, singularly enough, none of the other riders were aware of the accident, although, of course, surprised at seeing nothing of him in the race. The weather remained most beautiful the whole day, and every part of the stands and the course was occupied by the gay and fashionable of Paris, and the more matter- sf- faet sporting world. The ugly long Stand still remains opposite the Imperial and Visitors' Stands, hiding, consequently, a great portion of the race, and preventing the approach of the carriages towards the ropes, which gave so great a grace to the race course at Paris, and caused such general satisfaction there. The course, moreover, was very badly kept, and afforded another striking contrast to the gosd order at Paris, where, with. twenty times the multitude, there was twenty times the facility of seeing the race, and simply from placing the stands in their proper place, and allowing the carriage and foot company to approach the ropes, as so often suggested. The following are details: SUNDAY, MAY 24.— PRIX DE L'ADMINISTRATION DES HARAS of 5,000f, added to a Sweepstakes of lOOf; the entries to go to the second; weights for age, penalties, & c; heats, 4,000 metres ( 2m 4fur); 8 subs.

Monarque took up the running at a good pace, with a lead at times of one or two lengths, until rounding the reservoir turn the second time, when Lion drew up to him, and at the stables t ® ok a slight lead; rising the hill he was nearly a length in advance, but Monarque was beside him again at the distance, when a most severe struggle ensued, ending in favour of Monarque by half a head.— Second heat: Even batting. Lion made strong running in this heat, and was joined by Monarque at the stables the last time round, but at the hill Lion drew away from him again. At the distance, however, Monarque once more approached him within a length, and when opposite the stands got his head to Lion's quarters. At that moment LioK stumbled, but being " picked up" imme- diately, was beaten at last by three parts of a length only, having run home ou three legs.

Caamas broke away twice before starting, and finally was left at the post.

This contretemps left the lead again with Theodora, Enchanteresse lying second; before reaching the stables, however, the latter broke her near fore leg, IRELAND. JUNE. Monkstown ( Co.

MR EDITOR : I had long heard talk of the Derby day at Epsom, and the treat it was for the Cockneys, and I thought if it was a treat for them it must be a great one for us living about here; so having a friend in London, I first wrste a line to him to say that I was determined to see the Derby race, and if he would invite me to his house, I would accept the invitation; well, he did so, and I went up to town accordingly. My friend is not a racing man, but he introduced me to a gent, who was making up a party to go on Wednesday by a buss, and I became a subscriber. We arrived on the race course early, and one of the passengers, who was, he said, one in the Ring, suggested that I should accompany him to the Grand Stand, where I should see all the betting fraternity, as he called them, and also the great racing men. Well, we went there, but there was such a crowd, that I could hardly get to the pay place, and when I got there, I could not find my companion. At this pay place there was a notice stuck up: Tickets for the day, 10s; for the week, £ 1 Is. As I only intended seeing the Derby, I paid 10s, and took a ticket. I entered, and seeing my acquaintance and fellow passenger at a distance on the grass- plot, within the iron railings of the Grand Stand, proceeded towards him. I was stopped by a man, who said, " Gentlemen, show your tickets." I produced mine, aud then was told that I must pay eleven shillings beyond the amount already paid, to entitle me to go where my friend was. I declined paying, and hence lost the advantage of seeing the " betting fraternity and the great racing men." I will con- clude with this observation, that they wont catch me at the Grand Stand again.— Yours, & c, JNO. JONES. Swansea, 29th May, 1857. SALE OF BLOOD STOCK AND HUNTERS AT TATTERSALL'S.

The winner, moreover, was not the animal entrusted with the stable money, but their favourite getting badly off, the " outsider" had to " perform." Eighteen stripped for the Prix des Ecuries, and one of the finest races ever seen in France was carried off by M Lupin's Potocki, who gave the four year olds their years nearly, over the Derby course, and beat them easily. This race, however, was but a forerunner of his future success, and brought him once more into favour for the Derby, for which race he was backed for some money on the quiet, notwithstanding that he was said to be only third or fourth best in the stable. The Derby day broke bright and beautiful, and once more the town of Chantilly seemed awake to its true character; but there is something wanting, an ad- vance, a determination to " go ahead"— a move with the times. Twelve months have passed since this eventful day, and we have heard the knell again which tells of the fate of all on earth; but let that pass. Chantilly ! is it doomed V and are its glories to be spoken of but in remembrance ? It is true that the new race course at Paris is in every respect infinitely superior, but still Chantilly was famous, is not despicable now in comparison, and might be made as good as need be; then why should it fall? It may be said that it is not intended that it should fall, but as chroniclers of facts we cannot be dumb; we hear it in the air, we even hear the echo, though but of a thought; and yet it is a thought which will become an opinion, and then a decree, when we may see the Derby run at Paris. " Comparisons are odious," but who can look on the one picture and then the other without theconviction that the bloom is fresh upontheone, whilst the mildew of decay is spreading over the other? How green is the new grass at Paris, and how parched the old turf at Chantilly ! and yet there is a reservoir upon the course, and means at hand to produce by " dressings" any amount of " cover" desirable. Why holes in the course should be sprinkled over with loose sand, or why the " turns" should be worse than at most pro- vincial meetings, is more than we can understand; but such things are, and will be probably, until public opinion and the racing interest point to Paris race course as the proper spot for running off all the great races of the year, retaining Chantilly as a training ground and place of casual racing. In our remarks on the first day of this meeting we expressed our fears of the probable effect of the dry weather on the neglected race course, but we little expected to have to return so many casualties and disappointments as occurred. The Derby of course was the piece de resistance, but the ball was opened by a contest between Monarque and Lion, which was worth the Derby and all the other races put together. We hope that the sad fate of poor Lion will at least be beneficial in one respect, aud be the means of abolishing for ever from all respectable courses those turf abominations— heats. These two Derby winners had met on the first day, at 21b only for the year, over one mile and a quarter, and to- day met at lllb, over two miles and a half— heats. In the first Monarque having drawn the cords at starting, kept them, and made steady running for a mife and a half; his oppo- nent then drew up to him, and a head and'head struggle ensued, Monarque winning by half a head. In the second heat Lion got the cords, and made strong running, and never having been caught, it seemed any odds on him, when he put his foot in a hole opposite the Stand, and dislocated his off fore fetlock joint; in the next stride he fell on his head, but was just saved from coming to the ground, and, finishing the race, was beaten by three parts of a length. It was with the greatest difficulty that the poor animal was re- moved from the course, as at each step be alighted on the joint. The greatest sympathy was manifested for this famous son of Ion, who will be preserved for stud purposes for the future if he get over his accident. His long and twisted legs, however, will be a great drawback to the number of his visitors for a year or two, no doubt; but from his grand stride, he must get a " flyer " some day. Spreoty by some accident lost an iron in both heats, and probably but for that would just have beaten his adversary cleverly in both. In the Prix de i'Empereur, which was run be- tween the heats, Enchanteresse broke her near fetlock joint, as supposed by putting her foot into a hole also ; she was got home to her stablesomewhatmoreeasily. Legacy, Silistrie, andtheMica colt bolted outof the course at the Reservoir turn, andran into the midst of a company of women and children, to their great conster- nation, alone, as good luck would have it: and Cammas, before starting, having twice similarly performed, was left behind, Valna, out of the same stable, winning easily. A general, rush to the back of the Stands gave intimation that the great race was about to be decided, and books having been squared as well as gossible, a glimpse at the " cracks " was all that was required efore taking one's place to see the race and the calculations of a twelvemonth " set at nought." The favourite, Florin, kept his position very firm, although the advancement of his stable companion, Potocki, to 5 to 1, who was to be " tooled " by Ash- mall, oome express from England to ride second jockey (?) looked very like a " screw loose" somewhere. Florin cer- tainly appeared big, and sweated in an extraordinary degree, whilst Potocki seemed as stale as a post horse, and it was not to be wondered at, considering that this was the fourth time he had been pulled out to victory within a month. Pala- din, who made up this formidable stable, looked much better than at Paris, but with no expectation of winning; the tactics intended, it is said, being to cut out the work with him as far as he would go, when Potocki should carry it on, and at the end make way for Florin. Count de Lagrange also appeared with three strings to his bow— Mademoiselle de Chantilly, Claire, aad Brutus, TJis latter had become a great favourite after the and was pulled up, Baron George running into her place, closely followed by Valna; after rounding the turn for home, Miss Cath, Brulot, and Le Monsieur drew forward, but at the distance Valna came out, and won easily by two lengths, a good race for second being won by Theodora by three- quarters of a length; the same distance between third and fourth, the others scat- tered, Monarchist, Trajan, and Cordone bringing up the rear.

After three false starts a pretty good one was effected, and Paladin, who had been very restive at the post, jumped off with the lead, closely followed by Mademoiselle de Chantilly, Vert Galant, and Last Born, Potocki lying next, Brutus and Florin last, on the outside. They had not run one hundred yards when the favourite fell, either by crossing his legs or putting his foot in some hole, and, being somewhat behind at the time, he was not missed by the jockeys on his stable companions ; the leading horses passed the stands in the order named, and, after rounding the top turn and the reservoir, the pace was im- proved by Mademoiselle de Chantilly going up beside Pa- ladin, whilst at the same time Vert Galant fell back, and Prince de Beauvau's two moved into more forward positions. At the stables Claire and Saint George were out of the race, and Last Bom fell back with Vert Galant into the rear. Mademoiselle de Chantilly and Paladin went head and head up the hill, Brutus and Potocki handy, and Duchess and Serious drawing still closer. When round the turn, and on to the straight going, Ashmall, seeing that Paladin was nearly beaten, brought up his horse on the outside, but Osborne at the same time pulling away to let him up on the inside; he drove his horse through an opening in the cords, and was immediately followed by Brutus, whilst Duchess and Serious came round Paladin and Mademoiselle de Chantilly on the outside; at the distance Brutus challenged Potocki and got to his quarters, bnt the latter answered as soon as " called on," and passed the post an easy winner by nearly two lengths, rather more separating Brutus from Serious, who was third, and had an advantage of half a length over his stable companion Duchess; Mademoiselle de Chantilly, who was fifth, was two or three lengths behind Duchess, and had a similar advantage over Paladin ; Last Born, Saint George, Vert Galant, and Claire, brought up the rear, in the order named, but beaten a long distance.

TROTTING. MATCH IN HARNESS EOR £' 100 A SIDE,— On the 28th April, a match was entered into between Mr John de Costa's brown mare Jenny, 14 hands 2 inches high, and Mr Win. Cole's roan cob Tommy, 14 hands high ( both of Liverpool), to trot five miles in harness on a turnpike- road, within 30 miles of Liverpool, for £ 100 a side, to come off to- morrow ( Monday). £ 50 a side was doposited, and the remainder has been made good according to agreement on Monday last. This is the second time they have been matched. They trotted a match on the 22d of last Septem- ber, for £ 50 a side. Tommy was ridden in saddle, and the mare went in harness, when, after a most excellent race, the mare won by about ten yards. It is likely to be a very spirited affair; the mare is the favourite at 5 to 4. A match, for £ 100 a side, took place on Monday last, on the Warrington and Knutsford road, between Mr Cole's ( spirit dealer), of Liverpool, roan cob Tommy and Mr De Costa's bay mare Jenny Lind. The services of Peter Paget of London were retained for the cob, which was driven by him in capital style, and won the match ( five miles) by 15 yards. Time, 16min. Bet- ting: 6 to 4 on Tommy. Mr John Swift was stakeholder and referee* 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MAY 24, 1857. CRICKETERS' REGISTER. TO SECRETARIES OF CLUBS, fco.

Lillywhite and Wisden, which, if brought into general use, will greatly facilitate the labours of Secretaries of clubs in preparing matches for publication in our columns, and likewise will save us much valuable time in getting them readj^ for the printer. It should be observed that they are not intended for scoring papers ( though they might be used as such), but merely for results. They are published at an ex- tremely low figure, in order that they may be in the reach of all Secretaries are requested to notice an advertisement in another column, and in making an application for them, to ask for Bell's Life in London Score Sheet. THE GREAT MATCH ON WHIT- MONDAY, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CRICKETERS' FUND- ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. It is possible, during this exciting contest, that Lord's Ground may not be sufficiently large to accommodate the many thousands that intend to be present. For many years this match has been talked of and wished for by the public, and we were only too glad when we firsts announced that arrangements for it had been concluded. " Very few difficulties have arisen in making these arrangements, and we can assure our readers that the game will be contested on the most friendly terms, which subject, our readers will reoollect, we some time ago alluded to, iu consequence of a rumour, amounting almost to a doubt. On the side of the United, F. P. Miller, Esq, was selected by their committee to play, which selection was objected to by the All England committee, they preferring to have none but professionals. Mr Miller, a true cricketer, and wishing to throw no obstacle in the way of so friendly a meeting, especially as the return match is to be for Dean's benefit, gave way, and the contest will therefore be contended by professors only. In reference to this, we also gave it as our opinion that with the public the match would lose some of its vast interest if gentlemen were admitted to play on either side. Two of the most impartial and best judges have been selected as umpires, viz, Tom Barker and Sewell. Of the wickets, we have only to say that we hope they may be good, otherwise the game will depend rather upon chance than merit. We visited the" ground on Thursday, aud it looks as if great care had been bestowed upon it, and that the umpires, with the assistance of the proprietor and players of both sides, will have but little difficulty in procuring what is required. The play, however, will better show us the result. With regard to the entrance money, wo certainly should have wished to have seen it made one shilling instead of sixpence, but Mr J. H. Dark, the proprietor of the ground, appeared anxious to keep faith with the public with regard to the charge of admission, which has always been sixpence, and he was also of opinion, notwithstanding our ideas to the contrary, that a larger amount would be taken at the doors. We trust, however, as there will be two such trustworthy members of the profession as the well known aud much- respected old John Bayley and Henry Roystou ( the engaged bowler to the M. C. C.) to act as money takers, that the public will not forget that the match is played for the sole benefit of the Cricketers Fund; donations will also be received by Mr J. H. Dark, at the Pavilion, or F. Lillywhite, at the printing establishment on the ground. We are informed that Mr John Day, the new host of the tavern, has made every provision for the large company that is expected, consequently there will be no necessity, as formerly, for gentlemen to leave the ground for refreshments. The ground, on this occasion, as well as for Dean's benefit, is kindly given by Mr Dark, the proprietor, who will also take care that both Elevens are properly cared for during the interval that is allowed for dinner. The betting is even— the United having a little the call. Nothing but evens have, how- ever, been laid in our hearing ; and we trust fine weather, an equal match, and a large company will have to be chronicled as the result of this, the first meeting of these two celebrated Elevens:— ALL ENGLAND. , Anderson | A.

This match was commenced at Lord's on Monday. West- bourne went to the wickets first and made a score of 65, of which Brockwell ( given) added 26, aud Mr Gill 11. Grundy's and Royston's bowling was very good. The M. C. C. then took their innings, and a very short one it proved; for by the ad- mirable bowling of Taylor and Brockwell the whole were put out for 18. The second innings of Westbourne amounted to 40, Brockwell again getting the " leger." Capt Moore played well for 13. The M. C. C. had 87 to get, of which number they could only manage 68. Lord Strathmore in a most careful manner scored 19, going first to the wicket and taking out his bat. Westbourne thus won by 19 runs, which victory may chiefly be attributed to the two Surrey men, Brockwell and Taylor, who bowled admirably throughout.

The annual grand match between the University and County of Oxford commenced on the Magdalen Ground, Cowley Marsh, on Monday last, when the University were represented at the wickets by Messrs Armitstead and Oliver; Messrs C. D. Marsham and W. Fienues bowling on behalf of the County. Runs having been obtained freely by Mr Oliver, a change in the bowling took place, Mr J. Fletcher going on in the place of Mr Fienues, The first over from the former caused the retirement of Mr Oliver, who obtained 31, by two fours, three threes, four twos, and six singles. Mr G. L. Hodgkinson followed, and was of considerable service in augmenting the score, which, upon the fall of the third wicket had reached 84. Upon the return from the Pavilion after dinner, Mr Fletcher, who had been taken off, again com- menced bowling, and with such success that, with the assistance of Messrs C. D. Marsham and Fiennes, tho next five wickets fell for 8 runs! making 92 runs for the loss of eight wickets. The uncertainty of the game was, however, never more fully ex- emplified than in this match. The hopes of the University, which had been damped by the retirement of Messrs Ran- dolph, Draper, and Bullock, without hardly troubling the scorers, were considerably brightened when Messrs Bur- roughes and Digby got in together. These gentlemen, by excellent play, finally increased the score to 140, Mr Digby having obtained two fours, one three, two twos, and seven singles, while the 23 attached to the name of Mr Burroughes comprised three threes, two twos, and four singles. The County sent Messrs Fletcher and Faber to the wickets, both of whom commenced in earnest; the former, however, after obtaining 10 by three threes and a solitary single, was bowled by Mr Cockerell. The Hon W. Fienues faced Mr Faber, and runs were made rapidly until the hour for drawing the stumps ar- rived, at which juncture the telegraph announced 43 runs for the loss of one wicket. The game was resumed on Tuesday, when Messrs Faber and Fiennes obtained a complete mastery over the bowling, both hitting to all parts of the field. The latter was run out, after scoring 37, by a five, one four, one three, five twos, and a string of singles. As we have not space to particularise the doings of each player, we may state that the Messrs Marsham added considerably to the score ; Mr C. D., by his usual bril- liant play, marking 45, by four threes, ten twos, aud singles. Mr Faber continued his career throughout the greater part of the day, retiring ninth in order, from a bail caught by Mr Bullock off the slow bowling of Mr Armitstead, who had gone on for a change ; his score comprised a five, two fours, seven threes, twelve twos, and a string of singles, obtained in that beautiful style for which he has been so long celebrated at Oxford. Mr T. Aldworth carried out his bat tor 11, obtained by safe and steady play. The total of the innings amounted to 241, leaving the University in a minority of more than a hundred runs in the first innings. The University commenced their second innings by sending Messrs Bullock and Draper to the wickets, against the bowling of Messrs Robert Marsham and Fletcher. The latter, whose rapid underhand twisters have often puzzled University sides, soon found Mr Bullock's wicket without his troubling the scorers. 20 runs ouly had been obtained for the loss of Messrs Bullock, Draper, and Cockerell, when the wickets were drawn. We regret to state that the match was abandoned at this stage of the proceedings, tho following day ( Wednesday) hapnening to be the Derby day. The University, from the loss of Messrs C. D. Marsham and the Hon W. Fiennes, who played on behalf of their county, were not so strong in the bowling department as usual. As a set off, however, to the above loss, the County were minus the services of Messrs E. T. Drake, and several old hands, whose places were filled by young players.

On the side of Haileybury, Mr Bell made a true cricketer's innings of 51, hitting the ball to all parts of the field; Mr Maclean's off drives were splendid; Mr Bernard showed some hard hitting in his score of 28; Messrs D'Oyly and Webster also gave the fieldsmen some amusement. The total of the innings was 195. The Moor Hall gentlemen in their second innings scored 48, and thus were beaten in a single innings by 103. It is but fair to say that Mr Watlington was disappointed of some of his best men. Score: MOOR HALL. lst inn 2d inn J. P. Watlington, Esq, c and b Lang .. 8 b Bell 4 E.

This match, which was commenced 011 the Magdalen Ground. Cowley Marsh, en Thursday, May 21st, and continued on the following day, was drawn, after an excellent display of batting on both sides. The Nine and Players were the first to defend the wickets against the bowling of Messrs C, D. Marsham and W. Fieunes, which they did most effectively, producing a grand total of 209, of which C. Brown of Notts celebrity obtained 86 ( not out). This player was at the wicket a considerable portion of the first day, and resumed his position on the morning of the second, throughout which time he played remarkably well, giving only a few chances. His score consisted of three fours, nine threes, ten twos, aud twenty- seven singles. Messrs Draper, Bullock, aud Muuro also batted well. The Eleven, with the assistance of Messrs Randolph and C D. Marsham, were enabled to make a good show for the loss of eight wickets. The former obtained 48, by three fours, three threes, three twos, and a string of singles; and the latter 39, by two fours, three threes, seven twos, and eight singles. Mr Hodgkinson was playing well when the stumps were drawn, having marked 18, by a lour, three threes, two twos, and three singles. Nixon, although not very successful in obtaining wickets, bowled well; while Jackson, in consequence of some rough usage he experienced on the leg and right hand, in playing Mr Gillett, was not up to his usual mark. Mr Casson, from his remarkably swift pace, promises well as a bowler. Score. THE NINE. J. Gepp. runout 9 W. H. Draper, b Fiennes 20 A. Leigh, c Randolph, b Fiennes. 10 K. E.

LILLYWHITE AND WISDEN) V. PRESEXT UNIVERSITY. This match was played on Fenner's Ground on Monday and Tuesday last, and for a considerable time of the game was finely contested. The visit of old hands, who of yore had assisted in the struggles of their Alma Mater, could not fail of producing pleasure to those who ar « noiv commissioned to battle for her supremacy. It is a reunion calculated to bring with it enjoyable reminiscences, infusing throughout a spirit of emulation, and, above all, enabling the " Present" to compare notes with the " Past." The " Old" were ably assisted by professional stars— a host of themselves— against which, however, upon this occa- sion the vigour of youth was found too much. Having the choice, the Old started with Messrs Leake and Booth, to the bowling of MessrsMakinson and Home. Some steady play ensued the former reminding us of bygone times, when the neatness of his style was a proverb ; one wicket for 12 runs. Wisden fol- lowed, aud the second wicket dropped ; 110 change. John Lilly- white faced his friend, and for some minutes tne two " stars" shone with equal lustre; three wickets, 28 runs. Mr Cayley was next, and Wisden kept at his work, playing a long innings with consummate judgment, and marking a finely- got 74 ( not out). Though not large, other lively aud effective scores graced the innings, bringing up the " tottle" to 175, of which Mr Cayley obtained 16, Mr Blore 14, Mr Hill 17, and Mr Birch 11. Nothing dispirited, the " Present" made for their work, being represented by Messrs Fuller and Bayford, the bowlers being Mr Blore and Lillywhite. The first wicket fell for three runs. The second, whatever might have been ex- pected, produced no change. This brought Mr Fuller and Mr Makinson together, and a stirring career brought up the score to 45, three wickets. Mr Hammond joined Fuller, and the " telly" worked faithfully for thepair; four wickets, 76 runs; five wickets for same. Mr Fuller made a score of 33, playing through- out a long innings with admirable precision, and when the stumps were drawn Messrs Cooke and Home were working most energetically together, the score standing 123 runs; seven wickets. TUESDAY,— Play began, and the innings finished, six runs only being added, making a total of 129. For the " Past" the same pair of hands commenced service, Messrs Leake aud Booth. The play was lively, and for the flrst wicket the " telly" sported 19 runs. Wisden again, by capital play, 16; two wickets 33 runs. J. Lillywhite, leg before wicket for 0, three wickets, 34 runs. Mr Cayley played a good innings for 17; four wickets, 60 runs. Mr Perkins volatile for 9; five wickets, 65 runs. The remaining bats, in their self- contentment, made no offering worthy of note, and the innings concluded for a meagre 74. A good innings— 124 runs— was even now required for the " Present" to secure vic- tory. Nothing loth the combatants entered upon their task — the batsmen, Messrs Fuller and Bayford; the bowlers, Wisden aud Lillywhite, Steadiness prevailed on all sides; the bowling too good for liberties, and the batsmen too leary to attempt them. The first wicket fell for 13. Lord Roystou was second, and not wishing to deprive others of the chance of scoring, had one ball for form's sake, and retired, two wickets, 13 runs. Mr Bayford, who had been playing well from the first, retired far 21 runs, making the score 32 runs, for three wickets. Messrs Hammond and'Makinson were now fated to be companions, and the pleasing dreams ofthe " past" were unwarrantably dis- turbed. The bowlers felt amazed— the field puzzled. There was no favouritism— justice for once was dealt out even handedly. Wisden was played here—" Lilly" there. Two or three maiden overs in succession would for a moment give hope, which a spiteful 4 would annihilate, and lend to confidence a chuckle with which to accompany the exercise of its power. A chance at long leg aud Makinson was fresh again. Hammond was batting superbly, and the bowlers seeing 110 chance, changed ends. This failing, the " slows" were tried with a like result. Away whizze*! the ball, up and up again went the " telly," and when the last run was accomplished, the " Present" lungs— if our ears de- ceive not— performed a staid duty in the proclamation of vic- tory. This was really an extraordinary match, and from the first moment interesting. Three wickets down lor 32 runs, and the required 124 secured, without the loss of another wicket, is little less than marvellous. Bravo Makinson and Hammond! OLD. lst inn 2dinn W, M.

The annual match between these elevens commenced on Fenner's Ground, on Thursday last, and brought into the field a considerable amount of cricketing talent. The sides, although differing much from preceding years, still retained names to which the cricketing public had become accustomed. The game was expected to be well balanced, but, as far as the first day'splay proceeded, it took all by surprise. TheTowu having the luck of choice, put in Prior and Francis to pioneer the fun. Both were playing neatly when the first wicket fell for 12. T. Hayward filled the gap, and the game went on spiritedly. The bowling of the University ( as we have had occasion to remark before) was not Al, and some fine hitting raised the score to 82, for two wickets. Mr Marshall, who on this occasion presented the face of his willow to his friends ( being native born) accompanied Francis, playing as they liked, and for a time " carrying on" most joyously. Every change of bowling was tried— the graceful " round arm" down to the juvenile lob— but their power was gone, and on went the score as if in perpetuity. Francis had made the extraordinary innings of 114, when he was got rid of by Mr Horne, and the " telly" announced three wickets, 235 runs. Mr Marshall also played finely for 78, and the gross score attained 294.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS MATCHES. The cricket season is now commencing— one ofthe most reno. vating and health- inspiring sports in the world will once more make the man of business forget his cares, the scholar his books, and the valetudinarian half his complaints. And in this forget- fulness of care, in this " razing out the written troubles of the brain," in this complete diversion of the stream of thought, the physicians of the present day have at length discovered that the preservation of nervous energy while we have it, and the resto- ration of that vital principle when impaired, mainly depends. The writer of these remarks last week consulted one of the most eminent in the profession, saying " the mainspring seemed wrong," " the plug of life dry," and a certain fluttering within indicated that the animal machinery wanted a fillip some- where. " Two things," said the physician, " exhaust the brain of man, and diminish his nervous energy— First, want of food, as with the poor man; secondly, want of diversion, as with some of the better- to- do classes. Let the mind dwell ou one idea and you exhaust the brain, and stint its supply of vital energy to the frame. So, my advice is, salmon fishing in Ire- land ; or, a season's cricketing at home." Field sports are the brain's restorative. Look at the knit and furrowed brows of city men from ten to four, and see those frowns rubbed out and cleared away as the same men lean upon their alpacas, and look on at Lord's or the Oval. How plain that the mind is off duty, the brain relieved, aud the vital principle has its time to flow. A mere " constitutional" is but a poor substitute. All the dif- ference between twenty small boys, two and two on a Sunday, and the same urchins scudding about their play- ground on Saturday night. Pity ' tis the near connection between field sports and health is so little known. Every parent, tutor, and master should learn these physiological facts, to which the faculty are more and more calling our attention. We all know that if a horse has not good legs, he's no use with the finest body in the world; but we don't all con- sider that, if a man has not a sound body, the finest mind flickers and fails, as the oil leaks out of the shattered lamp. How often do we see this at the universities— poor fellows whom some bookworm of a father has trained for classics and mathe- matics, and left cricket out 1 What a pity to see a noble spirit deluded into work," work, for honour's sake, forgetting that play is necessary as sleep, or we shall have the head warring against the members, and getting, as with Sir William Follett, the worst of the affray. There is a well- known picture of " The Man what's won the Fight," all scars and bruises. We could draw another, " The Scholar what's won the Prize ;" for of all the poor seedy- looking, wishy- washy apologies for humanity we have ever seen, some of the senior wranglers have been the worst. This is a point most needful to insist ou at the present day ; for we live uuder too high a pressure— too much head work— till we are afflicted with an acutely sensitive nervous system. This is the tendency of the age. Youth should have a counterpoise : such is found only in a habit of cricketing, hunting, fishing, shooting, & c. Sir B. Brodie, and yet more, Dr Sutherland, and those who minister to the mind diseased, would tell jou that the many isms among the clergy, and the queer crotchets of all classes, mark that milder form of mental disease which re- sults from magnifying a favourite topic by incessantly poring over it— they would declare that a love of field sports is nature's own corrective to cerebral strains, and that looking forward to the moors and to Melton in " the reeess," is almost essential for one who would retain the bodily strength now required to rise into the higher spheres of public life. It is for this reason that we think that the masters of Eton and Winchester have com- mitted a great error in disallowing the time- out- of- mind matches at Lord's. We hold it to be an error, especially be- cause it enunciates a bad principle at a very bad time. For these are not the times to discourage relaxation. Idleness was once perhaps the point against which to guard youth— too much sporting rather than too little. Now the tide is setting the other way. For one young man who does too much with his limbs, there are two who do too much with the head. Youth is nothing without emulation; and, of that noble spirit, there is little fear that an undue proportion should find vent at Parker's Piece or Bullingdon, and too little in the schools. We now, therefore, appeal to the " old fellows " of Eton and Winchester to do their best to revive the school matches. E ton has played at Lord's on and off for more than half a century. Etonians played cricket early in the last century, in the school days of Horace Walpole. " In 1791, Eton, that is, the old Etonians, played Marylebone," says the author of the Cricket Field, four players given on either side; and all true Etonians will thank us for recording that this match proves that Eton had, at that early date, the honour of sending forth the most distinguished amateurs of the day. Lord Winchelsea, Hon H. Fitzroy, Earl Darnley, Hon E. Bligh, C. Auguish, and Assheton Smith, good men and true, were Etonians all! And shall Eton consent to lose its prestige 1 for, lose it Etoniaus are undoubtedly doomed to do, if once they miss the stimulus of theirannual contests. But howshallwereversethesterndecree? Whythus:— 1. Letthe " old fellows" sign a petition extensively, to show the head masters ( what they may not yet know) the great interest the school matches created, and the great disappointment felt at losing this Panhellenic gathering of old familiar faces. Messrs Lillywhite, Wisden, and J. H. Dark, would, we are sure, receive names. — 2. Let a few steady family men request that they may be favoured with the company of the Eleven, at their houses in Town, agreeing to stand loco parentis, and thus to obviate any mischief from a " lark about town." If we mistake not, this is the point; and by a little quiet management, the masters may not so much yield to, as, with due dignity, anticipate the wishes of all lovers of field sports and the matches at Lord's, it once these wishes are so strongly yet deferentially expressed as t j show that the esprit de corps of Eton is involved in the question. AN APPEAL TO CRICKETERS, & c. LILLYWHITE'S COLLECTION OF SCORES FROM 1746, IN PRE FAKATION,— The compiler of this projected work would fee- particularly obliged if secretaries of clubs or other gentlemen would communicate with him, in order to assist in obtaining correct copies of scores of old cricket matches, as well as other information relating to the game, such as the " alteration of the laws, and size of stumps, from time to time," & c, & e. The loan of score- books, or notices of any remarkable events that have occurred in the game, will also be thankfully received and imme- diately acknowledged. All communications will receive instant attention, and the compiler trusts that this appeal for the pur- pose of publishing a " complete history" of the noble game will QUEENWOOD COLLEGE.— A match was played at Dean on Monday last, when the Second and Third Classes proved vic- torious over the First and Fourth. On the part of the First and Fourth Classes in the firstinnings, T. Woodward played well for 22; his bowling also deserves praise. In the second innings the batting of F. Firebrace was very good. For the Second and Third Classes P. Gully played very well throughout the game, in the second iunings making a splendid hit for 1; his bowling was also very telling. In the last- named inniags T.

THE TIPTON SLASHER AND TOM SAYERS.— The thirteenth deposit cf £ 10 a side, for this match, was made 011 Thursday night, at Mr Lipman's, King of Prussia, Middlesex- street, Whitechapei, in the presence of a large number of East End sportsmen. We are now within three weeks of the eventful day. The excitement increases immensely, and the betting, now that the Derby is over, will, no doubt, be proportionably heavy. Both men are in active training, and report speaks highly of their condition. The next deposit of £ 20 aside is to be made at Owen Swift's, Horseshoe, Tichbourne- street, Haymarket, on Tuesday evening^ MICKY ( THE GRECIAN) AND JAMES ( ALIAS GINGER).— These Birmingham men met on Monday at Bromford, near Erdington, seven miles from home, at catch weight, for £ 5 a side, first part of the fight was in favour of James, aud the bettif- 1 was therefore 2 to 1 on him, but after a brief space the Grecian' changed his tactics, and drew first blood from the left ogle of Ginger in the ninth round, and got the knock- down blow iu the fourteenth. During the remainder of a protracted fight ho had it pretty well all his own way, planting some heavy right- handers on the jaws of Ginger, and getting well home on his ribs. Ginger, in several rounds, managed to get home on the Grecian's nob, and darkened both his peepers, but his blows were not so effective as those of the Grecian. After two hours and fifteen minutes Ginger's friends, seeing he had 110 chance, threw up the sponge in token of defeat, after fighting fifty- eight rounds. MILLING IN NEW ORLEANS.— A fight took place on the 12th of April, on the Metairie Race Course, New Orleans, between Young Barney Aaron, a son of the renowned pugilist of that name, and Bill Evans of New Orleans. Before the fight com- menced Aaron was the favourite at 2 to 1, and in some instances bets of 100 dollars to 40 dollars were offered and taken. At the conclusion of the first round, 10 to 1 on Barney went begging. Evans was beaten at all points from the very start, and on the sixth round, perceiving he had not the slightest shadow of a chance, the New Orleans champion acknowledged defeat, and the battle- money was awarded to Aaron. The fight occupied about 15 minutes, and Barney escaped with scarce a mark. CAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM.— In reply to the remarks on the subject of this match which we felt called upon to publish in our last, we have received the following letter from Ben Caunt :— " Mr Editor : A thousand rumours have obtained circulation rsspecting my present match with Langham, all of which more or less disparage the affair. Anticipative commentaries on the forthcoming fight are promulgated without hesitation, and, I must add, received without that caution which it is as necessary should be exercised when other men's business is under discus- sion, for the sake of common justice, as when the probability of deception only extends to our immediate concerns. Therefore, Mr Editor, I respectfully ask that you will admit into your co- lumns this declaration on my part:— That nay match with Lang- ham is the result of a dispute that can ouly be settled, so far as I am concerned, by an appeal to the fists. That the articles will be strictly abided by on my part, and that so far from throwing any impediment in the way of the match, it is my anxious desire to bring it to an issue in the Ring. Thus far, I beg my friends will take my assurance of4 honourable inten- tions.' Were they but aware of the personal tendency of the affair, such assurance would not be needed; but, as many must necessarily be unacquainted with its cause of origin, it is due to my own character to take the course I have now done in writing to you an emphatic statement of my intentions, which I solemnly assert are unalterable, until that result comes to pass which shall prove either me or my antagonist the better man.— Yours, & c, BENJAMIN CAUNT.— Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane, London, May 27,1857."— Ben. has also paid us a personal visit, and repeated the statements contained in his letter, and in addition has given up all claim to the forfeit, which, from the first, we believe was not his own doing. The third deposit of £ 10 a side was duly made at his house ou the 27th inst, and the fourth, of a like amount, is to be made at Harry Sims, Brown Bear, Grafton- street, Soho, on the 3d of June.— We have re- ceived a letter, signed " W.

COBLEY AND BRETTLE.— The third deposit of £ 10 a side for this match is to be made at Solid Coates's, Old Crown, Tower- street, Birmingham, 011 Tuesday evening. The second was made at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane, ou Tuesday last. Caunt has begged us to request that Cobley will come to town on Tuesday or Wednesday next. CHARLESWORTH AND SPEIGHT.— Charlesworth writes to us that he does not wish to draw stakes if Speight will consent to add more money. He thinks that the £ 10 a side for which they were originally matched must be already gone in expenses. It is somewhat extraordinary that we have not heard from Speight. ALF WALKER AND TOMMY SMITH.— These lads have drawn articles to fight, for £ 50 a side, on the llth of August, in the London district. £ 5 a side was staked in tho hands of Jemmy Massey on Tuesday, and the next deposit of £ 5 a side is to be posted at Mr Pace s, Plough and Harrow, Battersea Fields, on Tuesday week.

BATH AND BLACK JOE.— We have received another deposit of £ 5 a side for this match. The next, of £ 5 a side, is to be for- warded ou the 3d of June, Jemmy Welsh, having heard that Massey would rather back Ingram than fight himself, is at a loss to understand why he objects, as he ( Welsh) is five years older and a stone and a half lighter in weight. If the odds in money " stops the way" he will waive that aud fight Massey for £ 100 a side, even. The £ 5 on the part of Welsh still remain in our hands.

The American frigate is from the Mediterranean station, last from Lisbon in 96 hours, and has arrived in these waters for the purpose of attending the Niagara in laving down the intended telegraph cable. This frigate is 2 tons and manned with 330 hands. She is in perfect order, and with a very great breadth of beam. Her commander is well known to our waters, having in 1851 the command of the U. S. frigate St Lawrence, which conveyed the various products of American genius to this country for the Great Exhibition. The frigate awaits orders, and will eventually proceed to Liverpool to accompany the Niagara iu conveying the American portion of the cable. ROYAL THAMES! IYACHT CLUB. The opening trip of this club took place on Saturday, the 23d May, when a very large party of leading yachts- men were present. The rendezvous was Blackwall, and at two in the afternoon there were nearly twenty yachts at and about the station. Among them we observed Phoenix, Mosquito, Whisper,| Amazon, Phantom, Emmet, Zuleika Thought, Marina, Yolante, Magic, Mars, Lotus, Lark, Idas, Julia, & c. The noble Commodore, Lord Alfred Paget, hoisted his flag on board the Vice- Commodore's ( Mr R. Green s) yacht Phoenix, and at half- past two they all started m very pretty order towards Gravesend. The wind was fresh from the east- ward, and the afternoon remarkably fine, and on their arrival at Northfleet a salute of 10 guns was fired from the beautiful schooner, the Ruby Queen, 80 tons, which, with several others, was gaily dressed out in colours, and a similar mark of respect paid at Gravesend, where they disembarked, and the members and their friends repaired to Wates's Hotel, where dinner had been provided for the occasion. A very large party sat down to it, Lord Alfred Paget presiding, faced by Mr R. Green. After the cloth had been cleared, thechairman proposed The Queen, with an allusion to the time she had reigned, of which he was reminded by the projected marriage of the Princess Royal, to whom he felt the club would kindly in their hearts, if not m word, wish a happy marriage while they did honour to her Ma- jesty's health. The toast and allusion to the marriage were re- ceived with loud cheers. After the other loyal toasts The Royal Thames," " The Royal Squadron," and other royal clubs were proposed by the Commodore, who dwelt upon the great jraceeiis fev Royal Thames lacht Ctab Had attained, arid the pleasure experienced by the whoie of its members in the unanimity of feeling that prevailed, which he was sure would ever continue amongst them. Mr Craigie then proposed his lordship's health, and said he would not dwell upon his qualifica- tions, as it would be unpleasant to their coble commander him- self, and also unnecessary, because they all appreciated his merits too well to need any comment [ cheers]. His lordship expressed his acknowledgments, and the pride he. felt m the prosperity and advancement of the club, in becoming terms which was succeeded by Mr Morgan proposing " The Health of Mr R. Green," the Yice- Commodore, whose qualifications having been treated upon and received with every demonstration of regard, Mr Green replied briefly, and said that he should always be most happy, much as he might be engaged in mercantile affairs, to devote all needful time to the interests of the club Other toasts were proposed in the course of the evening, which was passed as usual very pleasantly. THE FIEST SAILING MATCH— The entries for the first match of the season of this club, which will take place on Tuesday next, closed on Mondaynight, and give promise of a fine day s sport. The list is as follows :— . FIEST- CLASS CUTTEES, excedmg 35 tons. YACHT. TONS. OWNER, rjTinrp- p. — E. G. Bankes, Lsq exteavaga^ ZA:::::: 49 .... sirp- F SheW CYCLONE 41 .... W. J.

Gibson, E6Q The distance to be sailed is from Erith _ to the Nore Light and back, with a time allowance of half a minute per ton. After a great deal of trouble the treasurer, Mr Hutchons, bas succeeded in obtaining the Prince of Wales steamer to accompany the race, and she will leave London Bridge at ten precisely. She will not call at Blackwall, as heretofore, but proceed direct to Erith, where the contending yachts will be at their stations. The Mosquito, Glance, Phantom, and Thought, are too well known to require description. The Glance, however, has never been measured in the Thames, and until she has been measured it will not be known whether she will be in the first or in the second class. The Extravaganza was built last year, by Wanhill, but has not yet distinguished herself. The Cyclone is a Bristol boat. We have not heard whether she has been altered, but last vear she was not able to stand up if there was any wind. The Emmetisanew, long, sharp boat, by Wanhill, and from what we have seen of her she does not appear to be fast. The Silver Star is by the same builder as the Margaret, and unless there has been a great improvement, we do not expect much from her. If the Glance is in the tirst class we should be inclined to give the prize to her— if in the second class, we cannot attempt to pre- dict the result as between Glance, Thought, and Phantom. The last monthly meeting of the club, at the Bedford Hotel, will take place on Wednesday, June 3 ( the day after the match), at 8: 30 p. m., and will, in all probability, command a large at- tendance, as including yacht owners and non- yacht owners, there are no less than 23 gentlemen on the list of candidates to be balloted for. Members and friends who may be desirous of at- tending the dinner ( six o'clock), prior to the meeting, must enter their names before two p. m., on Wednesday. In confor- mity with arrangements entered into and unanimously adopted by the club on the 6th inst, the R. T. Y. C. will remove at Midsummer to 49, St James's- street, Pall- mall.— The second match of the season ( for schooners only) first class, exceeding 75 tons, prize value 100 sovs, second class not exceed- ing 75 tons, prize value 50 sovs, is fixed to take place on Friday, the 19th June next. To start from Gravesend, sail round the Mouse Light, and| return to Greenhithe; quarter of aminutetime allowed for difference of tonnage; no time beyond 150 tons. Last night of entry, 10 p. m. on Thursday, 11th June next. The fol- lowing gentlemen are appointed stewards for the steamboat engaged to attend the match on Tuesday, 2d June next, and from whom tickets may be obtained by members who have paid their annual subscriptions, viz.:— G. Henley Barber, Esq; Robert Cooke, Esq; John J. Ford, Esq; W. L. Hooper, Esq; Joseph Mills, Esq; and Percival Turner, Esq. Yachts entered for any of the matches must be at Gravesend to be measured at 11 a. m., on the day prior to each respective match day. Yachts holding club certificates of the present mode of measurement, and not having undergone any subsequent alteration, will not be required to attend. ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB.

Salutes were fired from the Club Battery on the 24th and 26th, in honour of the Queen's birth- day. The annual general meeting of this club took place at the Thatched House Tavern, St James's- street, on Saturday, the 23d iust. The chair was taken by George Holland Ackers, Esq, the Commodore. The following members were present: Vice- Admiral Sir A. Clifford, Bart, C. B.; Right Hon Lord New borough; Richard Arabin, Esq; A. S. Elliott, Esq; Captain Thellusson; J, E. W.

Magan, Esq; Captain Jefferys; Colonel Freestun, M. P.; Joseph Arden, Esq; Charles Cavendish Clifford, Esq, M. P. The annual accounts of the club, together with the committee's report thereon, were submitted to and re- ceived by the meeting. Members were elected to serve ou the committee in lieu of those who retire by rotation. The auditors were re- elected. The regatta was appointed for the 10th August and subsequent days. The secretary reported, that he was au- thorised to announce to the meeting that it is the intention of J. Carew, Esq, to give a cup to be contended for at the regatta. The following motion was unanimously agreed to:—" That ministers of the Church of England, who may be employed aa curates in Ryde, shall be eligible as temporary members of the club, on the same terms as naval and military officers." Thanks were then given to the committee, auditors, aud secretary, for their attention to the affairs of the club, and to the Commodore, for his able and obliging conduct in the chair. ROYAL CORK YACHT CLUB. QUEENSTOWN.— On Thursday, the 21st inst, being the day FOR the sailing of the yachts belonging to the club, the following assembled at twelve o'clock off the Club Battery -.— Syren, 19 tons, R. C. Y. C., Thos. G. French, Admiral; Harlequin ( schooner), 80 tons, R. C. Y. C., Cooper Penrose ; Glimpse, 15 tons, R. C. Y. C., S. Freuch; Charm, 12 tons, R. C. Y. C., S. Perrott; Mayfly, 9tons, R. C. Y. C., Rear- Admiral Patton ; Kathleen, 32 tons, R. C. Y. C., Capt S. Hodder ; Iris, 12 tons, R. C. Y. C., A. Savage ; Gauntlett, 30 tons, R. I. Y. C., J. Lambkin ; Gem, 17 tons, R. W. Y. C.; Sea- § ull, 14 tons, J. P. Arnott; Iris ( schooner), 20 tons, G. O'Neill. u the signal being given from the Admiral's cutter ( Syren) the fleet made sail aud proceeded to sea with a fine fresh breeze from the S. W., the Glimpse alone carrying her gaff- topsail. At three o'clock, p. m., the fleet rounded the Spit Lighthouse, and shortly after they all assembled abreast of the R. C. Y. Club House, presenting the most lively and picturesque appearance. As the Syren, carrying the Admiral's flag, passed the club house, a salute was fired from the club battery, the band playing " Rule Britannia," and three hearty cheers were given by the nume- rous spectators on shore. The Promenade quay was thronged with the elite of the city and surrounding districts, and the band of the 99th Regt played some beautiful selections from some of the favourite operas. At six o'clock between 30 and 40 members dined together. The chair was taken by the Admi- ral, and the vice- chair by the Secretary. During the day a spe- cial ballot for the admission of members took place, when 15 members were balloted for, and all admitted, and within the preceding fortnight 21 more were admitted. The Kathleen, lately purchased by Capt Hodder, aud the Cygnet, 35 tons, pur- chased by J. G. Daunt, R. C. Y. C., of Kinsale, will form a consi- derable addition to the fleet. The Vigilant, 36 tons, J. C. Atkins, R. C. Y. C,, arrived at Queenstown, from Poole, having encountered very heavy weather in the Channel. During the winter she has undergone considerable alterations. WRECK OF THE EARL OF YARBOROUGH'S YACHT. As the Earl of Yarborough, the Hon W. Monson, and Dr Duigan, R. N., were cruising in the North Sea, in his lordship's yacht Zoe, on the night of the 24th, owing to the wind falling light the vessel drifted by the tide on to the Haisborough sand bank, about 14 miles off the coast of Norfolk. The yacht struck the bank with great violence several times, and, after some little time, rolling over, became washed by the sea Sufficient time, however, elapsed to enable the noble owner and his friends, together with the crew, to betake themselves hur- riedly to the boats, and thereby to save all hands. Fortunately for the boats, the water was smooth, and the weather fiue, which enabled them, after about three hours' hard pulling against a strong tide, to reach the Coast Guard station of Hais borough, or Happisborough. The yacht, which was most mag- nificently fitted up, has become a total wreck, aud nothing whatever of the valuables on board has been saved. It is very gratifying that no lives have beeu lost. The Earl of Yarborough exonerates his sailing master from all blame. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. This above- bridge club, which has been established less than three years, last Tuesday sailed their sixth match, beinis the first for the present season. The entries, as we remarked last week, were few in number, but this did not appear to dimi- nish the interest of the members and their friends, who were assembled in strong force, on board Citizen H, one half of tho company at least being ladies. The match was under the direc- tion of the Commodore, who fired the gun to take stations at 2: 10, when the following yachts appeared at their posts :— STATION. NAME. IONS. OWNEB. 1 CBEMOBNE 3 J. B. Burney, Esq. 2 SELINA 3 J. Pick, Esq. 8 ANGLESEY 3 W. Reed, Esq. The boats having been inspected by the Vice- Commodore, and all being in readiness, the starting- gun was fired at 2: 30, when the Selina, which was sailed by the secretary, Mr Roe, was first round, but immediately got into difficulties, being unable for some minutes to hoist her mainsail. The Anglesey was first in trim, and took a good lead, followed by the Cremorne, which latter was, however, passed to windward by the Selina, just below the distance buoy at Wandsworth, and never afterwards headed her. The first time round was accomplished as follows:— H. M, s, I H. M, s. ANGLESEY 8 7 0 CBEMOBNE S 18 0 SELINA 3 14 0 | The topsails, which had been hoisted for the run down, were now doused, and the beat up commenced, and here the Anglesey, which was sailed by Mr Hewett, rather improved her advan- tage over the Selina, who, however, more than made up for it coming down. The times of the second rounding were as follows:— H. M. s. I H. M. s. ANGLESEY 3 44 85 CREMORNE 4 15 0 SELINA 8 50 29 | There was now little doubt as to the result; but the Selina still continued the chase, and gradually drew upon the leading boat, and but for her bad start would have beeu there or thereabouts at the finish, which thus took place :— H. M. s. J H. M. s. ANGLESEY 4 19 0 CBEMOBNE not timed SBLINA 4 23 201 The yachts then brought up alongside the steamer, and thc crews having assembled, the Commodore presented the prize to the winner, Mr Reed, who responded in suitable terms. The match having been so quickly sailed, there was plenty of time, and the steamer ascended the river as far as Richmond and re- turned to the Cadogan Pier, before nine o'clock, p. m., and dis- embarked the company, who all seemed much pleased with the arrangements made by the stewards for their accommodation, LONDON MODEL YACHT CLUB. A match, among the models belonging to the London Model Yacht club, came off on Monday, and was witnessed by a great number of persons who take a pleasure in viewing contests be- tween craft of this description, on the Serpentine river, Hyde Park, which on the whole are very capital races, and in which considerable experience is required. The race was for a silver cup and a money prize, and was in four heats. It was con- ducted, as usual, by Mr T. H. Williams, the Vice- Commodorc of the club. First heat: Thought ( lugger), Mr T. Puxley, 1; Anne ( lugger), Mr G. J. Kerridge, 2 ; Fenella ( schooner), Mr T. Weymouth, 0 ; Flirt ( cutter), Mr G. West, 0. A close race; won by a few yards. Second heat: Sylph ( lugger), Mr J. Harrison, 1; Extrava- ganza ( lugger), Mr E. Taylor, 2 ; Phantom ( schooner), Mr M. Eltham, 0. The Sylph won by a long distance. Third ( or Losers') Heat: Phantom, 1; Fenella, 0; Flirt, 0. A good race. Won by several lengths. Grand Heat: Sylph, 1; Anne, 2 ; Extravaganza, 0; Phantom, 0 ; Thought, 0. The Sylph went away with the lead, closely attended by the Anne all the way. On coming back they were almost abreast, the Sylph at length winning by two or three lengths. The distance in all the heats was from the south to the north side of the Serpentine and back, and the wind was E. by N., affording an excellent opportunity of testing the capabilities of the little fleet. The next general meeting of the club will be held at half- past seven o'clock on Tuesday, June 2d, when the chair will be takeu and business commenced at eight o'clock precisely, Robert M'Caire, Esq, 26, Myddelton- street, Clerkenwell, is a candidate for election. A first- class match will take place on Tuesday, the 30th of June, and the yacht owners are earnestly reminded to read their book of rules and sailing regulations over, before this match takes place. The entries will be closed at ten o'clock on Tuesday night, June 2u. x lie prize vfoii at the third- class iiiitch will be presented to the winner. BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB. The first match of the season was to take place on Saturday, May 30th, when the following yachts were entered to contend for the silver cup, value £ 20, given by the club :— STATION. NAME. TONS. OWNEB. 1. WASP 2 J. S. Bishop 2. ELFIN : 8i Alfred Whitworth 8. GLIDE 7I Thomas Wilkinson 4. MAY FLOWEB 7 George Harrison 5. SNAKE Thomas Wilkinson 6. CHARM 7J James Poole 7. ELECTRIC 7 J. A. Clarke 8. WHITE SQUALL W. L. Sutherberry Of these little vessels the Wasp is a new boat, built by her owner, but too small to have much chance with her larger com- petitors. The Elfin was built by Kelly of Liverpool; the May- flower by her owner, and is constructed of iron, having enor- mous capacity for her size. The Snake and Charm are both built by their owners, arid are very peculiar from the great pro- jection of the bows over the water, which, it is supposed, will fit them better to stand a heavy sea. MODEL YACHTS ON THE SERPENTINE. ME EDITOE : Having for a long time observed in the columns of IteMseriousaccountsofmodelmatchesontheSerpentiue, but never being able to ascertain or to understand how they were managed, 1 determined last Monday to visit the scene of action, and to publish the result of my investigations for the benefit of such of your nautical readers as may feel doubts and difficulties similar to mine. On arriving about five o'clock at the east end of the Serpentine, I found several of the clippers Ij ing on the shore- caricatures of racing yachts, as might be expected, lean bodies, very deep keels, loaded with lead, outrageous spars and enormous calico sails. The dimensions of Mr Harrison's, which was out and out the fastest, and had by far the largest spars and sails, were, length on deck 6ft; along the keel, 4ft 6in; breadth, 16$ in ; height to main topmast head, 10ft 6in; bowsprit outboard, 4 ft. She was rigged like a schooler, gaff topsails and all, except that the sails had yards instead of gaffs, and that the jib or fore- stay sail reached to the topmast head, and to the mast. There was but one cutter, she was 5ft 8in long, with a bowsprit longer than herself; the others were schooners or luggers, as I believe they are called by model yachtsmen. The stem always rakes con- siderably, and there is much drag; these arrangements are probably to promote easy steering, which is, of course, the great desideratum. There is always a boom to the staysail. The tiller fits into a sort of notched rack in front, by which the rudder can be fixed at the angle, found by experience to be best. They are ali nearly of the same tonnage, which is measured by some rule, multiplying length ana breadth. With the wind a- beam the vessels went incredibly straight, aud I was told that they would run straight before the wind, if the sail was not too high. The rigging is exceedingly simple, and after the sailing is over the sails are unbent, bowsprit and masts unstepped, and the whole is rolled together, and carried off on a boy's shoulder, whilst two others carry off the hull. They never seem to shorten sail for high winds, and think nothing of seeing their vessels on beam ends for a few seconds during a puff. The course, whatever the wind may be, is always from one side of the Serpentine to the other and back again, aud any vessel not striking the shore within certain bounds, is out of the match. When the wind is across the river they beat to windward, being put about by their sailers on reaching shore. There was a strong east wind on Monday last, nearly abeam both ways. I only arrived in time to see the final heat, which was between five vessels, schooners as aforesaid. Previous to the start they were stationed twenty yards apart, the sterns just aground, and on the signal being given, the owner or sailer of each ship, standing on the shore with a light boat- hook, gave a terrific push to his ship and launched her off as far as he could. This seems one of the great arts of the model yacht sailer, and is generally performed by a professional, of whom there are several. Mr Harrison's yacht, which I have described above, had No. 1 station, and this being to windward brought her rather under the lee of the trees, and was decidedly the worst station. Soon after starting she came into contact with No. 2, which was making a wild shoot to wind- ward; but they soon separated, and JNO. 1 pursued a very straight course, and in 2min 5sec reached the opposite shore, the two leewardmost boats being about ten seconds later, the rest nowhere. In the meantime their respective sailors, who had run round, dashed into the water with great spirit, trimmed the sheets, shifted the tillers, turued the ships round, and again launched them with consummate dexterity. The unlucky No. 1 now ran into a calm, and when that was over, took a per- verse fit of sailing up the water; one of the leeward boats ran into the same calm, turned round and came back ; the other went tolerably straight across, aud came in a long way ahead. It seems, however, that by the rules of the club, if there has been a foul there is a fresh start, but this is only to be allowed once, and on the second start the match must be sailed out foul or no foul. Accordingly, a fresh start took place. No. 1 was rather becalmed, but reached the opposite shore first, was turned round, and launched again, and would have come in a winner by some twenty seconds, but when very near the winning shore she was becalmed, and showed signs of turning, which must have agonised her owner; however, after about 10 seconds of irritating~ anxiety a favourable puff set her straight, and she reached the shore in triumph some seconds a head of anything else.— Yours, & c, C. M. " C. M." AND THAMES SAILING MATCHES. MEEDITOE: " C. M." has probably patronised a steamboat on a sailing match day, but he is no yachtsman or he w ould not have libelled the R. L. Y. C. in the way he has, neither would he have required it to be explained to him that the time of the club steamer to start from London Bridge or Blackwall, is fixed upon the possibility of the day being calm or the wind very light, iu which case the steamer would start punctually, but when there is a fresh breeze there is of course no occasion for hurry, because the starting of the yachts is in all cases so arranged that they will be able, as near as can be calculated, to reach the rounding mark about low water, and consequently bring the tide up again with them, it being always desirable to avoid a long beat to windward against the tide. In a rowing match the tide alone has to be studied, but in sailing matones the wind must be studied also'; aud until the morning of the match, it is impossible to know at what time it would be most proper the start should take place. Why •* C. M." should now attack the L. Y. C. I know not, but this I do know, that at the R. T. Y. C. schooner match, last year, the same equally groundless and thoughtless remarks were made— though his objections to the " dawdling about" of the steamer after the match, are very worthy the attention of the club officers.— Yours, & c, C. F. J, OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. EIGHT- OARED RACES. These races were brought to a termination on Thursday last, May 28, Exeter College gallantly maintaining the proud position of head of the river, and as the rowing at Oxford has this season been certainly above the average, they may justly claim a pro- portionable share of merit. They rowed in the boat built by Mathew Taylor for the Chester Club last year. Balliol and Pem- broke also rowed in boats by the same builder, Balliol having purchased that in which the University so signally defeated Cambridge at Easter. Brasenose rowed in a boat built by Messrs Searle, which is much commended. FOURTH RACE- FRIDAY, MAY 22 7. Christ Church 1 8. Pembroke J 9. Trinity 10. Queen's 11. Christ Church 12. Lincoln ") 13.

The Christ Church annual four- oar races, for tankards, will take place ou Tuesday and Wednesday, the 9th aud 10th of June. The aunual pair- oar races for the silver cup and tankards will take place on Wednesday audThursday, June 17th atid 18th. S. WRIGHT AND J. H. CLASPER. ME EDITOE: From the remarks which appeared in last week's Bell relative to the scullers match between Wright and Clasper, a great many people are led to believe that Clasper was considerably overmatched, and that he had no chance in the race, I will at present, however, refrain from giving a different version of the contest; but so far from thinking that he was overmatched, I will back the lad again to row Wright, for the same amount, from the High Level Bridge to Scotswood Sus- pension Bridge, and allow the same expenses as were allowed iu the last match. A deposit to the Editor of Bell's Life, who can bo final stakeholder, will bo attended to.— Yours, & c, HENEY CLASPLE. [ As our impression of to- day also contains a challenge from Wright to the same effect, barring a slight difference with regard to the expenses, we have no doubt the match will be imme- diately made.] NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. There are now in this country several officers of the Russian imperial navy who have beeu deputed by the Emperor of Russia to make, amongst other matters, every inquiry concerning the lifeboats of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and other means of preserving life from shipwreck. In pursuit of this object, one of these officers visited, on Friday week, a lifeboat of the society stationed at Rye, ou the coast of Sussex. The boat was on an improved transporting carriage, from which she was launched into the sea, and hauled up again in a few minutes. After examining the behaviour of the boat iu the sea, aud the construction of her carriage, the officer expressed himself highly gratified with what he had witnessed. Another Russian officer, who is about proceeding to the north- east coast, will also examine one or more of the lifeboats of the institution iu that part of the country. The peculiar qualities of this class of life- boats, which are oil Mr James Peake's plan, are great extra buoyancy, immediate self- relief of water ballasting, self- righting of boat in case of being upset, great stability, speed, much stowage room, aud great strength of construction. Lithographic coloured working drawings, both of the lifeboat and carriage, are about to be circulated throughout the world, at the cost of the Duke of Northumberland, president of the above society. We are glad to find that the great exertions which have recently been made, and are now making, in this country, to supply exposed points with efficient lifeboats are about to be followed by the Emperor of Russia in his dominions, and we trust that his example will lead to the adoption in other countries of the same excellent means of rescuing life from shipwreck which have now been brought to such a state of perfection on the coasts of the British Isles. TEIALS OF LIFEBOATS.- On Friday, May 22, interesting ex- periments were made with three life- boats belonging to the Royal National! Lifeboat Institution, previous to transmission to the coast. The trials took place in the Regent's Dock, Lime- house, in the presence of Mr James Peake, Captain Baron Lams- dorff, and many other experienced gentlemen. These lifeboats are on the plan of Mr James Peake, assistant master- shipwright in her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich, and their peculiar quali- ties are great extra buoyancy, immediate self- relief of water ballasting, self- righting of boat incase of being upset, great sta- bility, speed, much stowage room, and great strength of con- struction. One of the boats was tried with her masts and sails up ; she was turned over by a powerful crane aud parbuckle until her masts were perpendicularly under the water, when on being released she immediately self- righted, and returned to her original upright position, and in 20 seconds or so self- ejected the water which had filled her to the thwarts in the operation. The trials of the other two boats were then proceeded with, and were equally satisfactory in every respect. CANDLISH AND CHAMBERS.— These watermen have LIFT entered into au agreement to row a scullers contest. The fol- lowing is a copy of the articles:—" James Candlish and Robert Chambers agree to row a right away scullers match from the High Level Bridge to Scotswood Suspension Bridge, for £ 50 a side ( articles to be left open for £ 100 a side). The race to take place on Monday, the 17th day of August, one hour before high watey, and in case of foul the umpires to be guided by the laws of boat racing. £ 10 a side is already deposited in the hands of Mr H.- Clasper, aud the next deposits to take place as follow :— £ 10 to be made good on Saturday ( yesterday) at the King's Head Inn, St Anthony s ; the next deposit of £ 10 to be made at Mr Wm. Candlish's, Clavering Arms, Gateshead, on the 13th of June; the next of £ 10 at the King's Head Inn, on the 27th of June ; the pext of £ 10 at Mr Blakey's, Boar's Head Inn, West- gate, on tho 11th of July. The final deposit of £ 10 a side to be made good at Mr R, Newton's, Ridley Arms, Pilgrim- street, who is the final stakeholder. Umpires aud referee to be selected on the day of the race, and the decision of the latter to be final.— ( Signed) JAMEC CANDLISH, ROBEBT CHAMBEBS." JUNIOR UNITED ROWING CLUB.— A scullers match between H. S. Heath and Elijah Hartley, members of this club, came off ou Sat urday afternoon ( 23d ult). The morning clouds, which had threatened to dissolve the courage of the rowers, and wash away all enthusiasm from the scene, yielded to a fair sky, which en- couraged a numerous attendance of visitors. Several friends of the competitors followed in their wake, and others ashore, at the starting- point and the goal, testified their interest by many a hearty cheer. The course was from Putney Bridge to Chelsea. Heath won the toss for station, with a boat's length in advance. The start was excellent, at a few minutes before seven o'clock, and in good order, Heath taking the lead, and gaining at every stroke; after thus rowing 200 yards he evidently ceased to pull hard, and Hartley made every effort to get ahead, keeping the nose of his boat almost upon his opponent's stern, who, atBatterseaChurch, however, put forth his powers, determined to win a clear tri- umph, and passed uuder Battersea Bridge some ten boats' lengths in advance. AVe hear that the defeated champion has challenged the victor for the 11th July next. CITY, TEMPLE, AND STEAND REGATTA.— The twenty- third annual regatta for a purse of sovereigns and other prizes will be rowed for on Monday, June 29th, by ten free watermen and lightermeu, consisting of a double scullers match, to be decided in three heats.

FATAL BOAT- EACE ON THE RIVEE.— A boat- race took place on the river on Saturday evening, May 23, which resulted iu the death of one of the competitors, a fine young man, aged 21, clerk to Mr Hackett, barrister, of King's Bench- walk, Temple. It appears that the unfortunate deceased made a wager to row a fellow clerk from Westminster Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge. They hired old- fashioned wager- boats from the stairs at the foot of Surrey- street, and started on the race from Westminster Bridge, each boat being accompanied by a four- oared cutter. The deceased gradually drew in advance, and on nearing Black- friars Bridge his competitor had given up the race. The unfor- tunate follow kept on, and passed through Blackfriars Bridge. Here, it seems, he had some difficulty in bringing his boat round, owing to the rapid ebb tide, and, to add to his difficulty, the swell from the Lotus steamer broke over into his boat. He apparently became alarmed at his position, and lost hold of one of his sculls, and in endeavouring to regain it, the boat over- turned oil the top of him. The cutter which was with him, but some yards in advance, put back to his aid as soon as they ob- served the accident. By this time he had got clear from the boat, and could be seen clinging to the scull. This kept him afloat for three or four minutes, but, unhappily, before the cutter could rescue him, he disappeared aud perished. PEDE8TKIANISM. MATCHES TO COME.

PEDESTRIANISM AT GARRATT- LANE, WANDSWORTH The pedestrian feats of last Monday commenced here with an off- haud spin of 100 yards, between two brother " bungs," for a " rump and dozen." On stripping, the disproportion between the men was evident, one being rather of slender make, whilst his opponent displayed a herculean frame, and legs that " would make a chairman stare;" the latter, nevertheless, received a start of one yard, and was defeated after a capital struggle by five feet. BUXTON AND COXEOED.— To this was to have succeeded a walking match of 10 miles between James Buxton of Camden Town and Philip Coxford of Kingsland, for £ 10 a side, but the latter not having entered an appearance at the time specified in the articles ( between two and four o'clock), Buxton walked over. LAWRENCE AND PLUMPTON.— The next match in the bill of fare for the day was a six miles walking match between these pe- destrians, Lawrence getting a start of one minute, for £ 5 a side. They had walked the same distance level some six or seven years ago at Harlington Corner, when Plumpton proved an easy winner. Such good use did Lawrence make of his start on the present occasion, that he had traversed nearly 300 yards before his ad versary left the scratch; the latter, however, gained considerably on his opponent during the first, second, and third miles, by which time he had reduced the gap between them by one half; during the fourth aud fifth miles he seemed to have overshot his powers, and eventually Lawrence won the match without much difficulty. FOOT RACES AT SHREWSBURY SCHOOL. These races came off on the 28th, and excited considerable interest in the school, as many of the competitors had been in active training for a considerable time. The matches most worthy of notice were the Derby Stakes, won by Ash, after a most exciting struggle with Poole, who led the whole of the way until about 15 yards from the run in ; and the Two Year Old Stakes, in which Roycott led off pluckily, but, finding him- self short of wind towards the last, was successively passed by Jones jun and Kennedy juu. Subjoined is a list of the events of the day:— 1. Match, 100 yards : won by Lorimer. 2. Match, 100 yards: won by Twist sen, 3. Match, 100 yards: won by Frost. 4.

However much the admirers of out- door sports have had just occasion to remark its decrease upon some grounds during the present year, their observations cannot truthfully be applied to the Salford Borough Gardens; for, not only have they received a large share of patronago, but many of the events have been con- tested by men of unquestioned pedestrian ability, and, even at the present time, there is no lack of sport. To us this is a grati- fying fact, and we feel pleasure in recording the events decided here since our last notice. SATURDAY, MAY 23.— The company present to- day exceeded 700, and the following contests took place :— JUMPING MATCH,— The competitors in this match were Robt. Kaye of Blackburn and Wm. Jackson of London, the conditions being that it should be four spring jumps, for £ 25 a side, two jumps behind to lose. Mr Abraham Attenbury was selected referee, and some spirited betting took place at 5 to 4 on Jackson, though even wagers were laid at start, Jackson for choice. The Londoner went off first, and was succeeded by Kaye, but, though the latter failed to reach Jackson iu his ( Kaye's) first attempt, he excelled him in the second, having cleared about 47 feet, and jumped 5 inches further than the favourite. Jackson then again came to the mark, but failed in the effort, and, ou trying in the final jump, he slipped, aud Mr Attenbury consequently declared Kaye the winner by five inches. [ We have been served with a legal notice not to give Kaye the stake money.] HALL AND WILLIAMS.— This was a sprint of 120 yards, for £ 5, between Matthew Hall and Frank Williams, Hall having two yards start, Mr A. Attenbury again officiated as referee, and a fair sum was invested on the result, at 6 to 4 on Hall. They went away at tho fifth attempt, the favourite ( in addition to the two yards given) getting the best of the start. Hall maintained the supremacy throughout, and landed himself the winner by a yard and a half. MONDAY.— This afternoon between 600 and 700 persons were in attendance to witness the race with NOLAN AND LEAEY.— J. s Nolan aud T. Leary are both of Manchester, and this contest was for £ 25 a side, distance 136 yards, Leary receiving two yards start. This event arose out of a handicap which came off on the same course about five weeks ago, on which occasion Leary, who had two yards start of Nolan, defeated him by a breast, and won the first prize of £ 25, Nolan being awarded the second prize of £ 4. The match under notice was then agreed upon immediately for the sum above named, each man to ruu precisely the same distance as he had traversed in the handicap, and to- day was fixed for the " moot- point" to be decided as to which was the superior. The betting opened at 7 to 4 on Nolan, but at start 5 to 4 was taken freely. Mr A. Attenbury filled the office of referee, and the start was effected by the report of a pistol. On the signal being given they bounded off, Leary gaining a slight advantage at start. This he maintained until they arrived within a few paces of the goal, where Nolan caught his opponent, and succeeded in winning by a foot. TEAINOE AND SYDDALL.— J. Trainor of Liverpool and J, Syddall of Radcliffe have now deposited £ 20 each in Mr Holden's hands on account of their race of ene mile, for £ 25 a side, which is fixed for Tuesday next, the 2d of June, at the Salford Borough Gardens. Trainor is to have 10 yards given, and if a start be not effected in ten minutes, they are to go by report of a pistol. Mr Holden lias been selected referee. BULLEN AND POMERET— David Bullen and John Pomfret ( both of Blackburn) are matched to run 100 yards for £ 25 a side, at the Salford Borough Gardens, on the 6th of July next. For this race MrHolden has received £ 5 each, and £ 5 a side more are to be deposited every Monday until the stake is made into £ 20 each. The final deposit of £ 5 a side is to be put down on the day of the race. Mr Holden is also to be referee. SEFTON AND HOOKS.— The expected race of 140 yards, for £ 10 a side, between W. Sefton of Macclesfield and C. Hooks of Chester is off, Hooks having forfeited. It was originally fixed to come off at the Salford Borough Gardens, on the 29th of June. We understand that in consequence of the race between Bromley and Withington to- morrow ( Monday), that with Traiuor and Syddall on Tuesday, and other matches, the handicap of 120 yards, fixed for those days, has been postponed. The prizes are to be augmented, and due notice will be given prior to its coming off. A GEEAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP, distance 170 yards, will take place at the Salford Borough Gaadens, on Saturdav, June 20th, and Monday, June 22d. First prize £ 30, second £ 4, third £ 1.

Stamps as cash. PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. HUGHES AND GILES.— The only pedestrian match worthy of notice during the last week was a six score yards match, for £ 5 a side, between these Birmingham men, which came off on Monday last, near Pentou's, on the Pershore road. Both men have run several previous matches with varied success; Hughes, however, was the favourite at first at 6 to 4, closing at 2 to 1. They were both in excellent condition, and after numerous attempts got away well together. After running neck and neck for 50 yards, Hughes took the lead, and finished a well- con- tested race by running in the winner by a yard. COOPEE AND WEDGE.— The whole of the money, £ 15 a side, has been made good for this seven score yards match, which comes off to- morrow, at the Four Crosses, near Wolverhampton. The men are to start by mutual consent. If no start in 15 minutes then to go by first report of pistol. The men to be at scratch, prepared to run, at 10 in the morning. YOUNG ASTON aud S. HALL are matched to run four score yards, Hall running £ 12 to Aston's £ 10. Further particulars in our next. MOON AND HALL.— These Birmingham men are matched to run six score yards, for £ 10 a side, Moon receiving two yards start. They meet to- morrow at Wilson's, Waggon and Horses, New Town- row, to draw up articles. JOHN THOMPSON ( the Sailor Boy) has undertaken to walk 60 miles in 13 hours, for £ 25 a side. Mr Robinson, of New Inn, Coventry, who is stakeholder, has received the whole of the money. The match comes off to- morrow ( Monday), at Porto- bello, Emscott, near Warwick, at 10 o'clock. Thompson is reported to be in capital condition, and confident of the result. W. Batchelor of Leamington and John Sweetman of Coventry are appointed timekeepers. DEABDEN of Birmingham is surprised that B. Badger of Sheffield should ask for 10 yards start in 200, but if Badger really wants a match, Dearden will give him five yards iu 200, for £ 25 a side, and run him half way between home and home. Money ready at Powell's, Rodney Inn, Hurst- street, Birming- ham. If the above does not suit, it is useless for Badger again to challenge him. YOUNG COLEY AND T. KAIN.— These Birmingham youths must make their final deposit to the stakeholder ( S. Coates) on Saturday next, for their six score yards match, which comes off at Aston Cross on the 8th of June. THE GEEAT WAEWICKSHIEE HANDICAP RACES AT ASTON CEOSS GEOUNDS, BIRMINGHAM.— The following are the accept- ances for the 120 yards to be ruu for on Saturday, the 9th, and Monday, the 8th of June.

A further deposit of £ 210s a side must bo made to the stakeholder, Mr Price, to- morrow ( Monday). DOINGS AT COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, NEAR MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, MAY 23.— Despite the somewhat unfavourable afternoon about 700 visitors attended this excellent pedestrian ground to witness the contest with HOLEOYD AND BEOOK.— Pierce Holroyd is well- known as of the Yorkshire district, residing at Hopton, near Mirfield, and his opponent to- day was J. Brook of Holmfirth. The stakes were £ 25 a side, the distance 440 yards, Brook having eight yards and a half start, and Mr George Piers filled the office of referee. The betting on the event fluctuated, opening at evens, next 5 to 4 on Brook, then again eveu, subsequently 5 to 4 on Holroyd, and at start it was once more even. On the pistol being fired Holroyd got about a yard the best of the start, but Brook ( with eight yards and a half given) kept the lead for 300 yards, at which poiut Holroyd came up to him. For the next 80 yards the race was a good one, it being a very doubtful ques- tion which would achieve the victory ; but when 40 paces from home Holroyd came out, aud was declared the winner by- three yards. SMITH AND TETLOW.— Job Smith of Hulme ( Manchester) and John Tetlow of Hollinwood have signed articles to run one mile, for £ 25 a side, on the 4th of July, at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Manchester, Tetlow to have 25 yards start.

MR EDITOR : I am truly glad my letter, published in your paper of the 3d inst, has caused inquiries to be made respecting the scarcity of foxes in the woodland districts of this hunt, and I hope much good may be effected by it, Mr Dugdale wishes to know my name, in order to obtain information. The subject has been publicly discussed throughout the latter part of the past hunting season, and he need not go far from his own man- sion to obtain what he requires. Your able correspondent, " X. Y. Z.," fully corroborates all I stated. Mr Dugdale's keeper, it appears, denies the whole truth of my statement. W ill he state why the three trap3 were set that I found on the last day the hounds met at the Outwoods Gate ? Two of them were in Bently Park, and one in Simon and Blythe Wood. As I said in my former communication, " if I found three, it is most probable that numerous others were set which I did not find." I was only in them a short time. I give Mr Dugdale the credit for not knowing the traps were set, and for his well wishes for the A. F. H. always finding when his covers are drawn ; but his keeper must, or at least ought to know who set them, or he is not worthy of the name of " keeper." With the exception of the " Arley fox," there is scarcely one to be found in all the large woodlands between Atherstone and Goleshill. It is true, an unfortunate vixen was chopped in Dales Wood, but she, poor wretch, was unable to escape, having been shot all up one side, so that she could scarcely crawl, and at the same time she had a cub ( which could not see) in her mouth, which was, and is, I hope, still alive— the last I heard of it being, that a terrier bitch belonging to a farmer had taken t © it, having at the time a litter of whelps about the same age. I have seen nearly all the covers in this neighbourhood drawn blank several times this season, and the only fox to be found was the one at Arley Wood. I am satisfied Mr Lowndes is too anxious to show sport not to huut the country fairly; but of what earthly use is it hunting these woodlands, if there are not any foxes to be found ? I trust the present M. P. will, in conjunction with Mr Dugdale, give such strict injunctions to his keepers to preserve foxes, that there may not be any fear of their covers being drawn blank, and that all may rest fully assured of " a find" ( if not of a good day's sport) when " the meet" is in their neighbourhood, instead of the existing state of things, when you hear persons exclaim, '* Oh, you may as well expect to find an' elephant' or a ' rhinoceros' as a fox here."— Yours, & c, A SPORTSMAN. THE DAVIS TESTIMONIAL. Our advertising columns contain a goodly array of noblemen's and other names, whose faces are familiar in the Queen's Hunt, and when it is recollected that the season was nearly closed before the committee commenced operations, we think the first list does them much credit. We learn there are many more subscribers to be announced. ANGLING. THAMES ANGLING PRESERVATION SOCIETY. This useful, long- established, aud highly meritorious society held their nineteenth annual meeting ou the 13th inst, at the Freemasons* Tavern, Great Queen- street, Lincoln s Inn- fields; present, Messrs Bird, Harman, Giles, Lyon, Wix, Simmonds, Withall, FarneO, & c, & c. Ongoing into business, II. Farnell, Esq, of Holland House, Isieworth, the hon sec, read a letter from their president, W. H. Whitbread, Esq, regretting his in- ability to take the chair on the occasion, his magisterial duties imperatively requiring his presence elsewhere. Itwas then pro- posed, and unanimously agreed to, that James Bird, Esq. snouid preside. Mr Bird having taken the chair, Algernon Perkins, Esq, treasurer to the society, read the report of the committee, which ran as follows:— , .. , , " GENTLEMEN : The usual period for the annual meeting of tha society having arrived, your committee have the pleasure of presenting their report oftlie proceedings of the last year, being the nineteenth since: the society was first formed. Your committee congratulate the subscribers upon the continued success of the measures adopted to secure good sport to the lovers of angling, and to enable the honest and industrious fisher- man to obtain a livelihood by fair and legitimate means— the exertions of the water- bailiffs having almost annihilated the illegal and disre- putable modes by which the River Thames was fer many years sys- tematically poached, and the true angler deprived of every chance of en- joying a good day's fishing. The convictions for the past seasen have been twelve in number, but tliey have not been of an aggravated cha- racter. Your committee are gratified to state that the angling last sea- son was very successful, the drought not having been so continual as m former years, and it is confidently hoped that a propitious season will again demonstrate the practical efficiency of the system that has been pursued, as, from the reports of the water- bailiffs and personal observa- tion of others, there is every reason to expect that there will be a great increase of sport during the present season. Your committee have to announce that they have obtained 36 additional subscribers donations for the past season, and for the forthcoming year ten more have already come forward, which will in some measure compensate for the loss by dsath or otherwise of some valued friends. Unless the society be effi- ciently supported the angler will seek in vain for the sport he has been accustomed of late years to find in every part of the river under its super- intendence ; She legitimare fishernaan will have to look elsewhere tor the means of obtaining his livelihood ; and all who are directly or indirectly connected with angling in the Thames, whether as amateurs, tackle- makers, or puntsmen, will in a short time find the river relapsing into its onee neglected condition. Your committee, therefore, m conclusion, again call upon their friends and brother anglers to give the society the support to which it is entitled as being based upon the principles of fair play'— of protection to honest industry, and the promotion of the gentle art.' Their best thanks are again offered to the auxiliary committee tor their most valuable and unremitting services ; and they beg to express a hope that at the annual dinner at the Star andGarter, Richmond, m June next, they will be honoured by the presence and support ot a large num- ber of their angling friends, knowing by experience that these reunions are productive of much advantage, by making brother sportsmen better acquainted with each other, and by diffusing a knowledge of the claims to t heir patronage, which they confidently maintain arejustly due to " THE THAMES ANGLING PRESERVATION SOCIETY." It was moved, seconded, and passed nem con, that the foregoing report be adopted. The treasurer next read the financial state- ment ef receipts and expenditure for 1856- 7, whichstood thus:— Receipts: Balance in hand. £ 61 18s 5d; subscriptions and do nations, £ 178 6s ; total, £ 240 4s 5d, Payments : Water- bailiffs salaries, £ 120 ; water- bailiffs' bills, £ 22 15s ; stationery, £ 7 15s 6d; advertisements and printing, £ 9 17s; sundries, £ 17 7s ; balance in hand, £ 62 9s lid; total, £ 240 4s 5d. Inde- pendent of the foregoing, the treasurer said there were subscrip- tions to the amount of about £ 15 not yet paid in, but which would be so, he had no doubt, in a few days. The financial re- port was passed unanimously— The secretary next read a list of the fines inflicted during the past season, with the names of the offenders and the nature of the offences, and passed a warm eulogium on the activity and watchfulness of their water- bailiffs, which had nearly put an end to poaching in the river.— A long and desultory conversation next took place m regard to the application of the fine- money, which terminated in no defi- nite resolution.— It was agreed that their next annual dinner should take place on Tuesday, the 18th of June, at the Star and Garter, Richmond. The society then broke up. CRICKET. OXFORDSHIRE V SURREY. This match will be played on the ground of University College Cowley Marsh, Oxford, on Thursday, June 4th, and following days.

THE ANNUAL SHOOTING MATCH for a prize gun, presented by Messrs Deane and Son, the guu- makers of King William- street, Loudon Bridge, came off at the Rosemary Branch, Peck- ham, on Saturday last, the 23d iust. This prize, a first class double gun, in case, & c, complete, presented annually by these gentlemen to their patrons the purchasers, previous to the match of a best double gun, is designed to promote a good feeling among, and to introduce to each other the lovers of the trigger, who would otherwise be, and remain, strangers to each other. The attendance on Saturday was unusually numerous, the weather propitious, the birds ( supplied by Barber) the genuine " Blue Rock," the shooting generally very good, and the har- mony of the meeting undisturbed; altogether it was a very plea- sant day's sport. The gun was won by Mr Collier of Charlton, Kent, killing 7 out of 9, which from 5 traps, at 25 yards rise, with ljoz shot, at Barber's best birds, was not such very bad shooting. The second prize, a silver powder flask, was then con- tended for, which ended in a tie between Mr Collier, the winner of the gun, and Thomas Jackson, Esq, F. R. C. S., who, killing every bird, was at the sixth shot declared the winner, Mr Col- lier declining any further attempt. AT HORNSEY WOOD, on Monday last, the members of the Swiss Rifle Society shot for their medals and prizes. The day was very unfavourable for rifle shooting, but some excellent scores were made at the 200 yards range, 20 shots each, as follows:— M Gus- tave Huguenin 72 marks 2 bulleyes, Gustave Bovet jun 63— 2, M Alexander Guillaum 01— 3, Alfred Stram 54— 1, M F.

We learn that for splendour, number, and variety, both of flowers and fruit, the show is likely to sur- pass all its predecessors. The hour fixed for the fountains is half- past four. As some misunderstanding appears to exist about the season tickets, we are requested to state that both the one guinea and two guinea tickets are available on this occasion. HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT MURDER. — On Saturday, May 23, a man named James Geary, who lived in Little Russell- street, Drury- lane, inflicted fearful wounds in the throat of his wife, to whom he had been married only three weeks, from which it is feared she will not recover. The immediate cause of his fero- cious attack has not transpired, but it appears that, after a dis- pute at his mother's, he returned home, and seizing a knife, rushed at his wife and attempted to cut her throat. Two per- sons in the house, hearing screams of murder, entered the room, and saw Geary and his wife struggling violently with each other on the floor, Geary having the knife in his hand, and the woman bleeding from the throat. They ran down stairs to obtain as- sistance, and met a police constable, who went up stairs and found Geary and his wife struggling on the landing of the second floor. The brutal fellow had his wife down, with her head on the bottom stair of the flight leading up stairs, and directly he saw the officer he stuck the knife into his wife's throat, and worked it about. The constable at once seized him, and drew the knife from the woman's throat. At this lime Geary had in- flicted three slight wounds on his own throat. Additional assistance having been obtained, Mrs. Geary was conveyed to King's College Hospital. On the right side of her neck, about an inch below the jaw, there was a wound three- quarters of an inch long communicating with the windpipe, and also with the oesophagus. Above and below this were two superficial cuts, and immediately below the right ear was a ragged wound ex tending under the skin for nearly an inch, and several super ficial cuts. The prisoner has been examined at Bow- street and remanded. His wife is now progressing favourably. COLLIEKT EXPLOSION AT INCE, NEAR WIGAN.— On Tuesday, at noon, a terrible explosion took place in a coal mine belonging t » o the Kirkless Hall Company, at Ince, near Wigan, by which five persons were killed and 13 more or less injured. There was less than an average number of men at work, owing to the annual pleasure fair at Wigan having taken place the day before. As soon after the explosion as practical, men were sent down the pit to render assistance to the injured, and Robert Cromp- ton, Ralph and John Whittle, and John Banks, were brought out dead. A boy named John Skinner was brought up in a state of insensibility, and died soon afterwards. Crompton had been married on the preceding day to the widow of a collier who was killed in a previous explosion of a similar kind. Thirteen other men and boys were afterwards brought up, some of whom were severely burnt— one of them, Samuel Banks, being unlikely to recover. The cause of the accident has not yet transpired. DEEP- SEA FISHING— A novel experiment in the art of deep- sea fishing will, in the course of a few weeks, be made. The enterprise is to bo carried on by iron screw welled smacks, of 150 tons burden. One of these vessels, belonging to a company, will be launched in a few days from Deptford. The supposed advan- tages these steam- screws will possess over the present class of vessels are— whilst going to and returning from the fishing ground neither light winds, calms, nor head winds will much retard their progress. They will be able to work three trawl nets at the same time, one from each side, boomed out a few feet, and one over the stern. Much of the laborious work now performed by fishermen, with winches and capstans— as, for in stance, the difficult task of heaving up trawl nets from 60 and 70 fathoms deep, with tons weight in them— will be effected by the power of steam ; so also, when the smack gets amongst shoals, where the finny prey take the bait as soon as the line reaches their locality, machinery will be employed to wind the fish up to the surface, sparing the men the labour of hauling them up by hand, which is often a painful task, when continued three or four days with little intermission. A BLIND ANGLER.— A remarkable feat occurred on the Nifch the other day, when a blind man played and landed a salmon, originally hooked by another person who was unequal to the task. The blind man threw his line, and hooked, played, and killed another salmon.— Dumfries Standard. In publishing this feat, the editor of the Border Advertiser gives the following equally wonderful case:—" Our contemporary seems to think this an unparalleled feat, but we are aware of a far more extra- ordinary blind fisher in our neighbourhood. Mr W. Rankin, of St Bosweli's, who has been stone blind for ten years, carries on the trade of linendraper and general merchant— is a fishing tackle, fly, boot, and rod maker, and is an excellent fisher, whe- ther with fly, worm, or minnow. He is iu the constant habit of going out to the Tweed on favourable fishing days, accompanied by his sagacious dog, which leads him to and from his favourite haunts. So well is he accustomed to the sport that he knows every stone and every cast in the wide reaches of the river within a mile east and west of St Bosweli's, and is generally a very successful angler, landing his fish, whether trout or salmon, without assistance from any one even in the rockiest water. We have frequently witnessed his exploits with equal interest and wonder at the love of the pastime which is so strong as to overcome natural impediments that might in ordinary cases be deemed insurmountable." CAVALRT COLLEGE, RICHMOND.— The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Cavalry College at Richmond was per- formed on Monday by the Viscountess Combermere, who was accompanied by Lord Combermere, the officers aud friends of the institution, the architect, builder, & c. The site of the building is the plot of ground on which formerly stood the Royal Naval Female School, contiguous to the railway station. It may be recollected that some months ago operations were in progress for converting the school into a college bearing the present designation; but the greater portion of the structure was destroyed by fire, and the new building, now in course of erection, is intended to supply its place. The architect is Mr Charles Broadbridge, who has executed a simple yet effective design in the Romanesque order, and, as far as present appear- ances justify the forming an opinion, it will be found that he has commenced his labours with a practical appreciation of the object in view. The ultimate intention is to extend the limits of the building by the addition of two wings, the total cost being calculated at about £ 15,000, whilst the expense incurred by that section of the work already commenced is estimated at £ 5,000. The college will, in the first instance, accommodate between 60 and 70 inmates, each having a separate dormitory, according to the system to be pursued in barracks. There are already eleven pupils, and the number is not to exceed 100, when the building shall have reached its completion. Iu the internal arrangements all the modern appliances, in the shape of baths, lavatories, ventilation, & c, will be adopted, and that part of the work to which the builder's duty is now confined will be finished in the month of September. The riding- house, stables, and other accessories, are temporary structures; but their place is shortly to be occupied by permanent buildings, there being a sufficient space of ground for ample accommodation in these particulars. The spot is well adapted to the purposes of suck a college ; and the idea of establishing the institution is said to have emanated from the Duke of Cambridge, who has felt the disadvantageous position in which cavalry officers have been placed by the fact that when they first obtain their commis- sions they are ignorant of the duties required of them ; and the new college will furnish that gpecies of training which will give them the qualifications of experienced officers when they enter upon the practical part of their profession. The weather was favourable to the interesting ceremony to be performed, aud the Viscountess Combermere had the good fortune to see amongst the company a large concourse of members of her own sex, who seemed fully to appreciate her ladyship's graceful efforts with the trowel and mallet. MELANCHOLT DEATHS?,' OR A MILITART OFFICER AND ANOTHER.— A deplorable boat accident, by which Ensign George H. Bowles, of the 85th Regiment of Foot, the depot of which ia now stationed at Fulwood Garrison, near Preston, and a man named James Cartmel. the servant of Mr William Paley, manu- facturer, of that towii, lost their lives, occurred on the river Kibble on Saturday evening week. In the afternoon of that day Mr Paley and the two deceased went in a sailing boat down the Iiibble from Preston to Lythaia, a marine village about twelve miles distant, which place they reached in safety; and in the evening, when the hour for returning arrived, Mr Paley sug- gested that they should all go back by railway. Mr Bowles ob- jected, saying that he preferred returning in the boat; and after some demur on the part of Mr Paley, that gentleman returned i by rail to Preston, aud the officer and servant took the boat. Nothing was heard of the two last- mentioned persons till Sun- day evening, when Mr Paley received information that his ser- vant had been found drowned in the Ribble, at Naze Point, which is about six miles distant from Preston, by a mau named Rowland Gornall. There can be no doubt that Mr Bowles has met with a similar fate, but up to Monday afternoon his body had not been found. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY— DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES,— Lord LYNDHURST, before the order of the day was read for going into committee on the Divorce Bill, called the attention of the house to the state of the law as regarded actions for criminal conversation. He hoped that, as the bill passed through com- mittee, a sufficient substitute would be provided for that dis- graceful form of action.— The house then went into committee on the Divorce Bill, when the Duke of NORFOLK moved that it be referred to a select committee, for the purposes of taking evi- dence and resolving as to whether the permission for divorced persons to marry again had any warrant in Scripture.— The Bishop of ST DAVID'S and the Earl of HARROWBY opposed the amendment, which WAS negatived, on a division, by 123 to 26.— The house then went into committee, when clauses 1 to 5, inclu- sive, were agreed to without opposition.— Clause 6, which spe- cifies the tribunals to which divorce cases should be referred, was opposed by Lord GREY, on the ground that the time of the judges, who were to constitute the highest court, was already fully occupied, and that the expense would place a separation out of the reach of the poor.— The LORD CHANCELLOR defended the clause, which was ultimately agreed to.— On clause 15 Lord ST LEONARD'S proposed an amendment to protect women who, haviug been deserted by their husbands, became possessed of property. In such cases it often happened that the husband stepped in and claimed the property.— After considerable discus- sion the committee divided, when the numbers were— contents, 52 ; non- contents, 44 ; majority, 8.— Upon clause 16 Lord WEST- MEATH moved a clause to precede it, giving powers of re- mar- riage in cases where the husband and wife had been separated for 20 years and upwards. He then entered into a matter per- sonal to himself, but was called to order by Lord REDESDALE and Lord DERBY, who advised him to defer this vindication of his character to a more fitting opportunity. He accordingly withdrew his motion.— On clause 19, Lord DONOUGHMORE pro- posed an amendment, placing married women iu the same posi- tion as their husbands with regard to divorce a vinculo matri- monii.— The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the amendment, which, though prima facie reasonable, was practically inexpe- dient.— The committee then divided. For the amendment, 20 ; against, 71; majority, 51.— Lord LTNDHURST moved an amend- ment to the clause, to the effect that wilful and malicious deser- tion for five years should be a sufficient ground for dissolving a marriage. All the great authorities of the Church went one way in this matter, and, by the existing law of Scotland, deser- tion for four years was sufficient to annul a marriage.— After some further discussion their lordships divided, when the num- bers were— contents, 8 ; non- contents, 97 ; majority against the amendment, 89.— The remaining clauses, down to clause 43, were then agreed to, after some discussion.— On clause 43, giv- ing parties liberty to re- marry, the Bishop of OXFORD opposed it on the ground that the Scriptural argument against such re- marriages was plain. He felt that the glory of the people of England, the happiness of their homes, and the chastity of the people would be much endangered by this measure, aud espe- cially by this particular clause, which he moved be expunged from the bill.— After considerable discussion, in which Lords Campbell, Derby, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Grey took part, the committee divided on the question, " that the words proposed to be struck out stand part of the clause."— Contents, 47 ; non- contents, 5- 3 : majority, G. The amendment was there- fore carried.— Lord CAMPBELL then moved that the house re- sume. This was carried, and their lordships then adjourned. THURSDAY.— PRE AC HI N G IN EXETER HALL.— Lord DUNGASSON called the attention of the Bishop of London to certain services performed in Exeter Hall on Sunday evenings by prelates and clergymen of the Church of England. He wished te know whether the bishop considered those proceedings in accordance with the rules and discipline of the Church ?— The Bishop of LONDON replied that there could be no doubt that such a service had taken olace. He believed that services of this kind were not only strictly legal, but that they supplied a want felt by thousands of the community.— Lord KINNAIED confirmed all that had fallen from the Bishop of London, and expressed his ( Jordial approval of these meetings. THE SALE OF POISONS BILL was read a second time. PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION.- On the bringing up of the report of amendments on the Probate and Letters of Ad- ministration Bill, the LORD CHANCELLOR, replying to some remarks made by the Earl of Malmssbury, who presented a petition from the proctors of Doctors'- commons, praying for compensation, stated, at some length, the reasons which in- duced hiui to come to the determination that these gentlemen were not entitled to any compensation in consequence of the alterations contemplated by the measure.— The report was re- THE TRANSPORTATION AND PENAL SERVITUDE BILL was read a second me. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES.— The house then went into committee on the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill.— The Bishop of OXFORD moved a clause to protect clergy- men who should conscientiously refuse to marry a divorced per- son.— The committee divided, and the clause proposed by the Bishop of Oxford was rejected by a majority of 78 to 26.— On clause 44, relating to the action for criminal conversation, con- siderable discussion arose, during which the LORD CHANCELLOR said he thought that this action ought to follow and not urecedo the proof of the wife's guilt.— Lord LTNDHURST moved an amendment, the effect of which was to abolish the action alto- gether.— Lord ST LEONARDS proposed a fine on the adulterer. — The Bishop of OXFORD thought that if facilities were given to divorce a more distinctly criminal character should be given to the act of adultery.— Lord WENSLETDALE defended„ the action for criminal conversation as one cooval with the law of England, while Lord CAMPBELL declared it to be a disgrace to the law. Ultimately Lord DERBY suggested an amalgamation of Lord St Leonard's and Lord Lyndhurst's amendments, so that the effect of the clause would be to provide that it should not be comoe- tent for any person to bring an action for damages for criminal conversation, but that whoever should commit adultery with a married woman should be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour.— This suggestion was adopted, aud the clause as amended was agreed to.— The remaining clauses and the preamble wero agreed to.— The house then resumed, and the bill was reported.— Their lordships then adjourned till Thursday next. nibbling motions, which, if carried, would not redound either to the credit or dignity of England, Such an arrangement would not be tolerated in private life, and he would rather have the matter thrown over altogether than consent to such a proposal. — Mr WALTER thought the proposal of the hon. member for Sheffield would have been better than that of the Government if it had been carried out, that of giving an adequate sum at once. He thought there was something inconsistent in a Queen of Prussia receiving an annuity from England, but be could not vote for tha amendment jf the hon. melbn- for Dundalk without a compromise, and he would suggest that £ 12,000 a year should be granted to the Princess Royal, to cease absolutely when she became Queen of Prussia.— After some discussion the motion was withdrawn, and the bill passed through committee. CITY INTELLIGENCE. The market for English Securities has not been very active, and the variation in prices has scarcely exceeded $ per cent.

Mining shares have been inactive, at about former values. For Joint- stock Bank Shares there has been a very limited inquiry, and prices have exhibited but little variation ; London aud Westminster and Ottoman Banks are a shade firmer. A moderate business has been done in the miscellaneous market; Canada Land im proved £ 1, Crystal Palace 5s, and National Discount Company 5s. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— THE PRINCESS ROYAL AND HER DOWRY- — On the report of the committee on this matter being brought up, Mr CONINGHAM objected to the vote on principle, and as a precedent for other votes hereafter, and also to the amount of the vote, which he moved to reduce from £ 8,000 a year to £ 6,000.— Lord PALHSRSTON expressed his regret that Mr Co- ningham should have again raised this question, and trusted that the house would abide by the vote of the committee.— After a few remarks by Colonel FRENCH and Mr C. GILPIN, the house divided, when the resolution was affirmed by 328 to 14 ; a majority of 314.— The resolution having been agreed to, a bill was ordered to be brought in founded thereupon.— On the report of the Committee of Supply, Mr MAGUIRE objected to the vote of £ 40,000 for the marriage portion of the Princess Royal, consi- dering that the annuity of £ 8,000 was sufficient.— Mr CONING- HAM and Sir J. TRELAWNT likewise opposed the vote.— Upon a division this vote was likewise affirmed by 361 to 18. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. - The house then went into committee of supply on these estimates, aud Lord PALMERSTON made the usual general preliminary explanation of the votes. He reminded the committee that these estimates contained everything connected with the War Department, so that the house would see at one view the whole of our military expen- diture. The first question for the Government, he observed, must naturally be what, under the circumstances of the mo- ment, were the establishments required on the one hand by a due regard to economy, and on the other by the efficiency of the service, aud the defence of the ocuntry. We had not only our own island to defend, but possessions scattered over the globe, i and we had to consider what was necessary for both, not only in 1 case of actual war, but against sudden attack. Our position re- quired peculiar precautions, and modern improvements had greatly altered the conditions of both naval and military war- fare, so that this country could not rely, as formerly, upon its naval means. On the other hand, it was the duty of the Go- vernment, and of Parliament, if the Government neglected it, to take care that our military establishments were not greater than the exigencies of the country required, recollecting that those establishments ought to be so organised as to be capable of a prompt and speedy enlargement, and to contain, the ele- ments of science, and so that those who were to command the army were practised in military evolutions. Our regimental organisation had been as perfect as possible ; not so the brigade and divisional system, which could only be practised by the movement of troops in bodies. Provision had been made for remedying this defect in our military system at Aldershott. There had been other defects— such as the want of a field train and an hospital staff— which were now remedied; and these, with the supernumeraries and the augmentation of the artillery, contributed to increase the present estimates, as compared with those of 1853- 4. There was no increase in the infantry of the line ; there was a slight increase of the cavalry, and an increase of the engineers and artillery— the number of men being 0,917 above the estimates of 1853- 4. Lord Palmerston then entered upon specific explanations with reference to the expenditure for fortifications— the defence of our dockyards and arsenals— for improved accommodations for the soldiers, and barracks upon new principles— for the manufacture of arms, ordnance as well as small— for clothing and necessaries for the men, and pro- vision for the education of officers of the army. The total amount required for the effective service of the army was £ 9,025,360; for the noil- effective, £ 2,221,875— 1116 increase above the estimates of 1853- 4 being £ 1,611,000.— Votes were then agreed to, after much discussion, to make up, in addition to the sums already voted, the following amounts :— £ 4,338,017 for pay and allowances; £ 553,055 for miscellaneous charges ; £ 50,282 for volunteer corps; £ 184,909 for the Department of the Secretary for War aud the General Commanding- in- Chief. The house seon after adjourned until Thursday. THURSDAY. - NEUFCHATEL. - Lord PALMERSTON an- nounced that the treaty on the subject of Neufchatel had been accepted by both the parties— the Swiss and the King of Prus- sia— and actually signed a few days ago, so that the question might be considered as satisfactorily settled. BRAZIL AND THE SLAVE TRADE.— Mr ROEBUCK called attention to the relations betweea Great Britain and Brazil, and moved for a select committee " to take into consideration those relations, and report thereupon." The purpose of his motion was explained by the honourable and learned member to be the elucidation of the policy pursued by successive English Govern- ments towards Brazil with regard to the suppression of the slave trade. On this point Mr Roebuck entered into various historical details, recapitulating the circumstances which have induced the Brazilian Government to abolish that trade. In carrying out their endeavours to procure that result, the British Ministry, in 1845, passed an act under which Brazilian ports were blockaded, and the merchant ships belonging to that country subjected to search. Although the slave trade was abolished, this act was still in force, and proved a constant source of annoyance and irritation to the Government and the people of Brazil.— The motion was opposed by Lord PALMERSTON, and, on a division, was rejected by 312 to 17. THE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY.— Sir C. NAPIER moved for a select committee to inquire into the constitution of the Board of Admiralty with the view of rendering it more efficient and bettter adapted to the various duties it has to perform. The gallant member quoted many authorities, and related several anecdotes, showing, as he maintained, the clumsy atid incompe- tent management of naval affairs by the Admiralty Board as at present constituted. The present consequence was that our naval armament was unready aud disorganised, the British navy being filled with " trash," containing no vessels fitted for the services they were often required to perform, and unprovided with a sufficient muster of skilled seamen. He attributed ail faults to the inefficiency of the Admiralty department at head- quarters, anu was convinced that the select committee for whieh he asked could devise a far better machinery for administering the naval system of the country.— Mr BENTINCK seconded the resolution; objecting principally to the present practice of ap- pointing civilians to the post of First Lord of the Admiralty.— Mr B. OSBORNE resisted the motion, not discovering any pros- pect of improvement in the Board of Admiralty iu the sugges- tions thrown out by Sir C. Napier.— On a division the motion was lost, the numbers being 152 to 35, AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS.— Viscount RAYNHAH moved for a select committee to inquire into the operation of the act passed in 1S53 for the punishment of persons convicted of aggravated assaults on women and children,— Sir G. GREY admitted the de- sirability of finding some method to repress the offences in question, but doubted the utility of the proposed committee.— Mr BENTINCKsupported the motion, as did Mr P. O'BRIEN and Lord C. HAMILTON.— On a division there appeared— For the committee, 84 ; against, 125— majority 41. THE HOP DUTY.— Mr DODSON moved the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the operation of the Excise and Customs' duties on hops,— The motion was agreed to. THE JOINT STOCK COMPANIES BILL was read a second time, after a few words from Mr WTLD and the ATTORNET- GENERAL. THE PRINCESS ROYAL'S ANNUITY BILL was read a second time. FRIDAY.— THE PRINCESS ROYAL'S ANNUITY.- On the house going into committee ou this bill, Mr BOWTER moved an amendment to the effect that the annuity should be sus- pended during the time her Royal Highness might be Queen of Prussia. In the event of her Royal Highness being left a widow he would have the annuity revived.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER considered these and similar propositions, as THE DRAMA. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,— The revival of the opera " II Trovatore" on Saturday, the 23d instant, proved one of the most successful operations of the season. In the first place there was a new character for Signer Giuglini, which would call forth all the resources of his voice and his talent, and the successive triumphs of Signor Giuglini are important events in the lyrical season. In the second place, Mademoiselle Spezia had only been heard in one character ( the other Leonora in " La Favorita") aud had given sufficient evidence of histrionic genius to awaken a strong desire to see her in a new part. In the third place, the Azucena of Madame Albeni was acknowledged last year to be one of the most perfect impersonations, both musical and dramatic, ever seen upon any stage. Mademoiselle Spezia has more than justified expectations. The upper notes are certainly less at her command than those of the lower regis- ter, but her dramatic expression is very fine, and, on some occa- sions, when the audience least expect anything of the sort, they find themselves overpowered by a burst of vocal eloquence that compels them to acknowledge the presence of genius. Signor Giuglini may add his Manrico to his Arturo and Edgardo. As soon as his voice was heard behind the scenes warbling forth " Deserto sulla terra," a general round of applause marked the recognition of the popular favourite. But, as usual, he delayed the moment of his chief triumph to the latter part of the opera. As for the Azucena of Madame Alboui, it is in every respect a great work. When she tells the terrible story of her mother's fate, and reverts to the still more horrible mistake that she her- self committed, her perfect vocalisation is rendered doubly effec- tive by the eloquence of her countenance aud her gestures. In the trio of the last act, when she sings in her sleep, during the passionate interview of the lovers, her exquisite notes form a beautiful contrast to the business of the scene. The lovers are both in despair, but the gipsy is calmly dreaming of happier days, and the soothing effect of the dream i » conveyed by the voice of Madame Alboni. The part of the Count di Luna was very carefully sung by Signor Beneventano, and Signor Vialetti was effective as Ferrando— Tuesday next is fixed for the debut of Signor Corsi, the celebrated baritone. On Thursday the " Trovatore," with the incomparable Guiglini, will be re- peated, and on Saturday we are to have an opera with the fasci- nating Piccolomini. A new tenor, Belart, has arrived from Flo- rence, where the admirable manner in which he sustained the tenor parts in the " Somiambula" aud " Pirata," led to his en- gagement for the following Carnival at Florence, and for this season iu London. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.— On Thursday Mdlle Victoire Balfe, daughter of Mr Balfe, the celebrated composer, made her debut at this house as Amina iu " La Sonnambula." Her success was perfect, and the final air, " Ah, non giunge," was a blaze of bril- liant execution, expressing, more eloquently than any words could do, the fulness of joy and rapture. When the opera was concluded, the audience gave vent to their feelings of admiration and delight. The curtain fell amid deafening applause. The young performer had to come forward three times, in compliance with reiterated calls, and each time was received with acclama- tions, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and showers of bouquets. Her success is of the most solid description, for it is founded on sterling qualities. Her voice is a perfect organ— a true soprano, full, round, sweet, and powerful, with that in- describable thrilling quality which goes to the heart of the hearer. Her powers have received the highest cultivation that education can bestow ; but she is, moreover, an artist of nature's own making; for, without the rarest gifts of genius, she could not have been made what she is bv all the education in the world. IIATMAEKET THEATRE.— A little one act piece, evidently of French origin, was produced at this theatre ou Monday night, and received with applause by a very full house. The audience must have expected from its title that " My Son, Diana" was founded upoa some incident or other connected with the doings of a young lady with manners unsuitea to her sex; but they were, probably, not at all prepared for seeing Miss Oliver with all the habits of a smart young gentleman made love to by MrBuckstone. Such, however, was the case. Mr Culpeper, a retired grocer, formerly connected with the commissariat, andindulging in mili- tary propensities— a part played characteristically by Mr Chip- pendale— has brought up his only daughter Diana ( Miss Oliver) ever since she escaped the nursery to wear the clothes, pursue the occupations, and delight in the sports of a boy; and, strange to say, when he has melted down Mr Septimus Smith ( Mr Buck- stone) to court and marry her, does not think it necessary that she should be first seen by her proposed husband in female attire, but introduces her to him in coat, waistcoat, and the other essential accessories to a young gentleman's costume. This is the joke on which the fun of the farce turns, and it gives rise to much amusing perplexity, represented by Mr Buckstone in his usual explosive and expressive manner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Vx GAROTTE ROBBERT IN THE BOROUGH— At Southwark, Wednesday, Henry Webb, 25, hawker; Michael Howard, 20, porter; Thomas Cooke, 21, potman ; Ann Tobin, 28, aud Cathe- rine Brown, 18, prostitutes, weie charged as follows :- Mr Saul Laurence, a clerk, of 36, Mitre- street, Aidgate, whose face was literally covered with bruises, and who could hardly articulate from the injury inflicted on his throat, stated that about eight o clock on the previous evening he came over Blackfriars Bridge, where he met two men, who asked him to treat them. He con- sented, and accompanied them to a public- house in the Mint. As soon as they entered two other men came in, aud thev seemed to know each other. After that the two females came ' in, and he treated them all to what they liked to drink. They did not sit down, but stood under a kind of shed.— Mr Seeker asked him to look round, and see whether any of those persons he treated were now in court— Prosecutor ( pointing to the dock) said he thought he could swear to Cooke, Webb, and the two females. The two males he believed to be those he met near Blackfriars Bridge. After he had treated them for some time Brown asked him to go home with her, which he refused. He had at that time in his possession two watches, a gold chain, and £ 13in gold, besides a gold ring on his finger. Finding that he had had enough to arink, and wishing to get rid of his company, he left the premises. At that time Brown kept hold of his arm, and aa soon as he got out some one suddenly seized him tightly by the throat from behind, nearly strangling him. He then heard tha voices of several men, and he struggled very hard for more than five minutes. Some one then struck him a heavy blow on the head, and he became insensible.— Mr Seeker asked him whether he should know any of the men who were about him when he was struck?— He replied in the negative, as they were all behind him. When he waa attacked Catherine Brown had hold of his arm. When he recovered himself he was sitting on a door step, covered with blood from wounds ou his face. Part of his waistcoat was torn away, and he missed his watches, money, aud ring. He had, however, a portion of his guard chain in his haud, and a coat belonging to one of the men with whom he struggled.— Mr Seeker asked him whether he saw Tobin after he left the public- house.— He replied that he did not, as he had not left half a moment before he was attacked.— Brown here said that she left the prosecutor as soon as they got out, to fetch some butter ia the Borough, and when she came back she heard the row.— Ann Cronin, an unfortunate girl, said she lodged in Disney- street, and she knew all the prisoners by sight. About half- past eight on the previous night she saw the prosecutor in the Black Bull public- house. Cooke and three other men were with him, as well as Brown and another female. About eleven she passed the house again, when she saw the prosecutor being knocked about, and Brown running away. A moment or two afterwards she saw the prosecutor lying insensible in the gutter. Believing that he had been murdered she went and fetched a police- constable, and on their return the prosecutor was sitting on the step of a door, with his hands up, covered with blood. While the four men were attacking the prosecutor she heard one of them say, " He'll best us;" another replied, " No he won't." She could swear to Cooke being one of these men.— Mr Seeker asked her whether she made any alarm when she saw the men attack the prose- cutor ?— She replied that she was afraid. She, however, went after a constable, whom she met in Redcross- street. As soon as the prosecutor partially recovered, he said he did not care much about any of the property, except the ring, which had been his mother's.— Mr Seeker said there did not appear to be anv evi- dence against the prisoner Howard, therefore he must be dis- charged, but he should remand the others. DOG STEALING.— At Greenwich, on Tuesday, Edward Frett, aged 18, of 61, Tower- street, Westminster, was charged under Mr Bishop's Act with stealing a valuable spaniel dog, belonging to Mr C. Shott, of Lea Park, Blackheath.— The prisoner was observed, on the evening of Wednesday week, by Thomas Haynes, coachman, in the employ of the prosecutor, to entice the dog from his master's residence; he then placed the dog under his arm and walked off with it. He was followed some distance from the house and given into the custody of 196 R, with the dog in his possession.— The prisoner's defence was, that the dog followed feim in the first instance, but this was distinctly denied.— Mr Seeker asked if inquiries had been made concerning the pri- soner ?— Police constable 198 R replied that the address given by the prisoner was correct, and he had received a good charac- ter of him from a master he had recently worked for.— Mr 8e? ker said, had thd prisoner been previously known, he should have sentenced him to the longest term of imprisonment the act of Parliament fixed. The prisoner had, however, shown great cunning in stealing the dog, and he would, therefore, be im- prisoned and kept to hard labour for two months. CONSPIRACT.— At Guildhall, on Wednesday, John Hind May, of Huggin- lane, City, and Stanley- street, Pimlico, agent; Wm. Taylor, of 1, Chureh- passage, Gresham- street, agent; and George David Myers, of 4, Malvern- terrace, Islington, also described as an agent, but who is reported to be a wealthy man, appeared before Alderman Humphery for final examination, relative to a charge of conspiracy to defraud Mr Gorman, of Lurgan, in the county of Armagh, Ireland, of a quantity of cambric handkerchiefs, to the value of about £ 500, and Mr Lawson, a manufacturer, of the same place, of similar goods to the value of £ 600. The evidence, which was extremely volu- minous, made out a strong prima facie case. The prisoners were committed for trial, but Myers and Taylor were admitted to bail. THE SOLICITOR- GENERAL.— The Right Hon Stuart Wortley having resigned the solicitor- generalship on account of 11- health, the appointment has been conferred on Mr Keating, Q. C., the leader on the Oxford circuit, aud M. P. for Reading. Mr Keat- ing is 53 years of age, and was called to the bar in 1832.

HOLLOW AY'S OIKTMENI ASH PILLS.— CUSIE OP BAD LEGS or SEVEN- TEES' YF. AKS' STANDING.— JamesNash. Thursted Farm, three miles from Chatham, was afflicted for 17 years with inveterate sore legs; there were 13 wounds in them. He was in St Thomas's and Guy's Hospitals nearly seven months, all the surgeons concurring that amputation was the only thing likely to save him.

THE CANTERBURT MURDER.— The magistrates of Canterbury having investigated the conduct of Inspector Parker and Police- constable Elvey, iu permitting the young man Fox to go at large after their attention had been called, on the evening of May 13, to his murderous designs upon Mary Ann Hadley, designs which, through their neglect, he was able to execute on the fol- lowing morning, the decision of the court was that Inspector Parker be suspended for the space of six calendar months, and that Police- constable Elvey be suspended for one month. One of the magistrates remarked that there appeared to be a great mistake in the minds of the police; they seemed to think that they must not take persons into custody unless they were given in charge. That was quite wrong. When they found a man about to commit a felony they should take him into custody at once. ANOTHER MURDER IN STAFFORDSHIRE.— At the Bilston police court, on Tuesday, a miner named Philip Clare was charged with the murder, on the 30th ult, of a young woman named Elizabeth Hopley.— Police constable Pouder deposed that on the morning of the 30th ult he went to the banks of the canal at Bradley, where he found the body of the deceased.— George Powell, a watchman in the emply of Mr David Rose, ironmaster, made a most extraordinary and circumstantial statement to the following purport:— He said that shortly after twelve on the night of the 29th he was upon duty, and observed the shadow of two people on the canal bridge. On going up he heard a girl exclaim, " Philip, don't kill me; you said you would kill me before." The man, whom he knew to be the prisoner, then knocked her clown. Witness, on this, said to him, " Philip, you'll suffer for this." The prisoner replied that if witness tola anybody, he would serve him in the same way. Witness then watched, and saw the prisoner put the girl in the water, he expecting every moment to share the same fate. Witness then returned towards the works, and was overtaken by the prisoner, who again promised to use him the same way if he told any- body, and this threat he repeated on several subsequent occa- sions. He lodged information with the police on Saturday morning last. After this statement the prisoner was remanded for a week. FATAL ACCIDENT AT SHOBDON COURT.— Shobdon Court, Herefordshire, the seat of Lord Batemau, has been the scene of a terrible catastrophe, which has thrown quite a gloom over the district. A number of workmen have been employed for some time past in making extensive alterations and enlargements on the premises. Among the alterations were some extensive arches, which were being constructed underneath the mansion, and as a number of workmen— masons, carpenters, and others- were employed on these on Monday last, an arch just completed, and which had been built upon old foundations, gave way, burying the workmen in the ruins. Information was imme- diately conveyed to the nearest town ( Leominster), where the families of many of the men employed reside, and it being stated that four men were killed, and that several others were seriously injured, the greatest consternation prevailed, and the extent o? the injury to life was not generally known uutil Tuesday, It was then ascertained that two men, named Edward Ellis and Thomas Jones, had been killed, and four others were severely injured. The names of the injured men are Mr Winch, the foreman of the carpenters, Richard Evans, Edward Morris, George Shore, William Bruce, and another, name unknown. A considerable time elapsed before the full extent of the catas- trophe could be ascertained, as the injured men were buried beneath a mass of heavy masonry, which it took some time to remove. In the meantime the groans of the poor fellows were piteous in the extreme. Every aid was rendered by the inmates of the court, and the Hon and Rev A. Hanbury particularly exerted himself. MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.— A brutal murder, the result of jealousy, was on Tuesday enacted in a court in Scotland- road, in which Robert Reuses, a sailor belonging to one of the Cunard steamers, WM stabbed by his brother- in- law, in whose house he lodged, from the effects of which ha died immediately. It ap- Eears the two men were drinking together, and the deceased left is murderer, whose name was James Davies, in the public house ; but on his return home the latter found Renses and his wife together in the bedroom. He immediately ran out to pro- cure a witness, when he met with an acquaintance named Hod- son, who accompanied him to his house, and up to the bed- room. His wife was out, but he found the deceased lying on a bed on the floor. Davies, who is a tailor, and was formerly a police constable, in a fearful rage, took out of his pocket a pair of scissors, which he plunged, time aftsr time, into the de- ceased's breast. He also cried out to Hodson, " Keep out of the way or I will serve you the same." The deceased screamed out, and then sank weltering in his blood, aud the murderer left the house. Renses died in about ten minutes, having never uttered a word. Davies was afterwards apprehended in a public- house in Scotland- road, and brought before the magis- trates. He admitted the offence, but urged that he had pro- vocation sufficient. The scissors were afterwards found con- cealed in a chimney in the house where the deed was committed, covered with blood.
