DESCBIPTIVE PARTICULARS.— These lands are situate on the direct road leading from Killarney to Waterville, about five miles from the latter place, and within 10 miles of the very improving market town of Caherciveen, and comprise largereolaimed farms, with a very extensive tract of mountain and lake scenery. The road communication is very good. The extensive mountains attached to these lands are well stocked with grouse, and with a little care and attention would afford an abundant supply of game to the sportsman. There are two good fishing lake", from which flow a river, connecting them with the far- fnmed Waterville Lake, and from which qua. tities of salmon and trout run up. There is a lodge on the margin of one of the lakes, which, with a small outlay, would be made a most comfortable and picturesque residence for either the angler or the sportsman. There is not in the south of Ireland a place combining amusement for tne rod and the gun. The few tenants on those lands are very comfortable, nearly all the lettings having been made in very depressed times, and they have been allowed to hold at the same rents since. They are all tenants from year to year except two, who hold under lease. If let now it would bring at least £ 200 a year, and capable of great improvement.

SALE of POISONS BILLS. TO THE EDITOR. SIB : Lord Cloncurry, to his nonour be it said, was the only peer who on one point hit the nail on the right place on this most momentous question. His lordship rightly said, " That one of the chief causes of accidents from poison arose from tne doctors making a mystery of their prescrip- tions by writing them in bad Latin, instead of in plain English." Lord Cloncurry forgot that the guinea fees depend upon this sort of mystery. The British College of Health presented, some years ago, a petition against the practice of writing prescriptions in Latin. It is truly asto- nishing to see both houses of Parliament supporting these vile and deadly poisons of doctors, merely because the guinea fees of the medical profession depend on such poisons. If members have no respect for their own lives, they should consider the other portion of her Majesty's subjects. We again take this opportunity of declaring, as we did when Lord Carlisle introduced his bill against arsenic, that there can be no safety so long as these deadly poisons are used " medicinally." Let the country look to it. ( Signed) THE MEMBERS OF THE RRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH. New- road. London, June 6.1857. rilHE LIVERPOOL and LONDON FIRE and X and LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. Established 1836.

WHAT ABOUT the COMET?— " When the doctors all differ, who shall decide ?" They have the learning, and language beside. It is true they have told us some curious news Of bodies and colours, and various hues ; But now they're arousing the fears of the nation, In describing a comet with no fixed station. This comet, some say, is a body of flame Which flies at a speed that we hardly can name ; And now, as it passes, this mundane affair, Some strange intervention each kingdom may share. That is certainly true ; and is sure to appear In the changes which M. and SON make every- year. The nations with business they always surprise, Every season their fashions arresting all eyes. Should the comet approaching surround us with heat, Their light summer garments are a happy retreat; They are proof against heat, oppress how it may, And are sure to give comfort by night or by day. Their VESTS, O ye comets ! which wander thro' space In your orbits, or zigzags, you never can trace Such a beautiful mixture of nature and art, Or such pleasure as they to their wearers impart. Ye comets! we know that you uever can rest, A feature which M. and Son always possessed. While all classes througlioutthe wide world claim their aid. They will never relax in their progress of trade. If comets take notes as they wander about. And sift all the actions of mortals throughout, Bear the tidings wherever you henceforth appear, Ofthe changes which M. and Son make every year.

Truth and Mendacity Mr A, Young, of Invershin; and Mr W. Dunbar, of Strathmore Lodge, Thurso, emphatically deny the assertions of the West End tackle seller. The former says the Earls Grosvenor and Lichfield never sent him from the Laxford any salmon, in order to obtaiu his opinion as to the cause of their lean condition. The latter says the tackle seller never fished the Thurso— that he never saw the said tackle seller, never heard of him except through Captain D to whom he stated there were no grouse on Mr Dun- bar's moors. We have here three reckless assertions contra- dicted by two respectable men, to whom or to whose property they mendaciously refer. CHANGE RINGING. Wm. Johnson— Too late. FIVES.

Nor is there any other class that would do so, in consequence of the gift of the suffrage. To refuse the suffrage wrongfully, might produce a hostile feeling, which would tend to occasion the dreaded injury; but the ready concession of the suffrage will produce the opposite effect. QUOITS.

The various bills relating to property qualifications for mem- bers, new modes of registration of votes, and other like matters, may now be considered as postponed till next year, when the Ministerial plan, or the New Reform Bill, is to appear. Some of the deceased schemes contained some very objectionable provi- sions. We will select one which may possibly be a pet with its authors, for it is one of an out- of- the- way kind, and its very ugliness may therefore recommend it to its political parents. The provision we refer to was that of placing the registra- tion of borough and county voters in the hands of the county court judges. Never was there a more absurd scheme. It has the pretence of economy, and on that account, pro- bably, did its author, Mr T. Duncombe, expect support for it. But Mr Duncombe ought to have seen that no scheme was . more thoroughly calculated to bring the registration into doubt, and to cast suspicion, if not odium, on the minor judicial bench. As long as judges are desired to have their claim to impartiality universally acknowledged, and acknow- ledged without even faint murmur of dissent, they must be kept free from all official interference with matters political. This bill forgot this plain principle of constitutional statesmanship, and was about to mix them up with politics so iutlmately as to destroy their usefulness by covering them with suspicion. Sir Robert Peel said, and all his supporters and opponents have since echoed the phrase aud acted on its truth, that the registration court was the battle- field of party. This bill proposed to make the county court judges parties to its contests. And what would have been the result ? At present, though very young, and not very experienced men, have beeu appointed Revising Barristers, they have never been accused of partiality. But then, they are in such a position as not to be exposed to party influences. Their counties are constantly changed, and no influence of social po- sition ( much more potent than bribery) is brought to bear on them. But fancy a county court judge, a permanent resident in his county, forced as he is to become one of the magistrates of the county, living among its gentry— fancy him with the influence which such a state of things must exert upon him! Impartiality would be impossible. He would become as much infected with party politics as a country gentleman is with game- madness, and as inaapable of doing strict justice to a rival partisan as justices are of behaving fairly to a man suspected of poaching. Of course, whether truly or not, the political bias which he showed, or was believed to show, in the Registration Court, would be charged against him as affecting his decisions in the county court, and from the dignified position of a judge, he would, in popular estimation, descend to that of a partisan. His useful- ness would be materially diminished, if not absolutely destroyed. With this specimen of what has been proposed in the way of small legislation on election matters, the public will learn without regret, that that sort of legislation has beeu defeated, and that on the Ministry is thrown the responsibility of pro- ducing a measure which the public can accept witli profit and satisfaction. ^ THE DIVORCE BILL. This bill has now passed the Lords, with some of its miscalled " amendments" removed from it, after reconsideration of the subjects to which they related. We can only hope that the Commons will remove others of them. We look on the abolition of the action for damages as nothing more than an ingenious device to save the pocket of the adulterer. The clause which abolishes it ought to be called " the adulterer's indemnity clause." The same " disgusting details" must be gone through in evidence in another form of process, but without making the adulterer pay in the shape of damages the just penalty of his offence. He alone, therefore, is benefited. As the law at pre- sent stands, the husband might undoubtedly collude with some one else to get up a false charge against his wife, though we be- lieve such a case was hardly ever known; and the case of Evans v Evans, now so much talked of, was certainly not one of that sort. The evidence given in that case before the jury has been discredited by other evidence since discovered. There is no proceeding which is not liable to this misfortune; but that would not be a reason for abolishing all actions and all prose- cutions. The protection to the wife, now adroitly put forward as a reason for abolishing the action for damages, will not be secured by the new system. It would be secured by making the wife a substantive party to the action, and leaving it to the judge or jury, or both, to fix on the husband or the alleged adulterer, or both, according as circumstances required, the oosts she was compelled to incur. The new system will have no other effect than that of screening the adulterer from liability to damages, and thus of removing from vicious men one check on their viciousuess. Whether that will advance the cause of morality may well be doubted. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PIEDMONT. The following appears in the Independente, of Turin, of the 31st ult:—" A great scandal took place lately at Fara, in the province of Novara. Francesco Portiglioti i, a Protestant, having died without having consented to abjure bis religion or confess, burial in the churchyard was refused to him. A hand- ful of fanatics proceeded to tbe house of the dead man, carried off the corpse in the most unseemly manner, aud cast it into the ground behind the churchyard as if it were a dead animal. The mayor and the troops remained indifferent spectators." The Staffetta of Turin announces tlsat the Piedmontese Go- vernment has despatched stringent orders to the authorities of Fara, to have the body of the Protestant, which had been tu- multuously interred outside the cemetery of that place, ex- humed and decently buried within the walls of that cemetry.

There is a curious sympathy between different persons who pro- fess a desire to see free elections of the people's representatives, but who, in truth, only want that sort of free elections which suits their own purpose. Au Emperor of the French and a Duke of Cleveland may be, and to us they seem only counterparts of each other. The difference between them is a difference of cir cumstances, not of opinion nor of object. The Emperor, by his Minister's circular, calls for " free elections," but then they must be " loyal" too, and they must not be troubled by unre- strained speaking or writing on the part of the candidates. That would interfere too much with the possible success of the nomi- nees of the Government. So the elections are to be " free " ac- cording to the fashion of the Minister of the Interior— what that fashion is we all know. The English elections are also to be free, but only free after the fashion of the great landed aristocracy. The circumstances of England are, happily, not those of France. Publication and speech are entirely unrestrained in England— they are crushed under restrictions in France, and so far, therefore, no compari- son can be instituted between the two countries. But all that can be done is done to bring elections here, iiito what the govern- ing class calls " order." Thus the demand for an increase of the electoral body is met by a proposition which appears to concede what is demanded, but by the very act of con- cession defeats the object of the demand. The Duke of Cleveland, for instance, says that he is ready to concede in counties a large extension of the franchise; he will give it to every man possessed of an income of £ 100, or even of £ 50 a year; he says nothing of protecting these men against the exercise of influence upon them; that would not be according to his wish, but he vehemently opposes himself to any grant of the county franchise to £ 10 householders. " If they should get votes," he says, " rely upon my words, if that is once done, the landed interest in'every county in England is extinguished for ever." This is a frightful catastrophe with which to threaten us. The threat, however, does not alarm us, because we believe it to be entirely unwarranted by the fact. The landed interest, so far as it is a national institution, would not in the least degree be injuriously affected. The wrongful power, now wrongfully exer- cised by some of the landed aristocracy, would be seriously affected. But that is just what the country requires, and what would benefit rather than injure " the landed interest." The worst thing for that interest is to countenance the belief that it has wishes and tendencies opposed to those of the people. The Duke of Cleveland puts them in strong opposition. We believe that he is wrong in doing so— wrong as to the fact of the exist DRAWING ROOM.— Her Majesty held the first Drawing Room for the season on Saturday week, at St James's Palace, which was very numerously attended. . THE ROYAL INFANT.— The christening of her Majesty s youngest child is to take place at Buckingham Palace on T CRYSTAL PALACE.— A splendid model of the screw frigate Shannon is exhibited at the Crystal Palace. This model was built and rigged at the naval establishment of Mr Eastman, R. N., of Southsea, for the purposes of practical instruction in rigging. The model is built to a scale, and is 16 feet 11 inches in length and 3 feet beam. The main deck represents ( in brass) 30 68- pounders, the quarter- deck and forecastle 20 32- pounders, and a long 68- pounder pivot- gun forward. The introduction of thi3 novelty, combined with the perfection of the model, will afford much interest to the public. She is complete, with pro- peller, chimney, anchors, boats, & c. , , , CHELSEA NEW BRIDGK.- PKOPOSED TOLL.— The design of the Government to establish a toll on the Chelsea new bridge, Battersea Park, has created considerable disappointment amongst the inhabitants of Pimlico, Knightsbridge, and the adjoining districts. The new bridge is so convenient a route through Sloane- street, to the Wands worth- road, and from Albert Gate to Clapham Common, that the establishment of a toll at this point is calculated to stand in the way of a large population obtaining exercise and recreation. DEATH OF MB BRIMLEY, OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAM- BRIDGE.— We have to announce the death, on Friday week, of Mr G. Brimley, librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge, in the 36th year of his age, and after at least seven years of great suf- fering, undergone with gentleness and resignation. DEATH OF MR DOUGLAS JERROLD.— We regret to announce the almost sudden death of this talented gentleman, which took place ou Monday afternoon, at his residence, Kilburn Priory. Mr Jerrold was born in 1803, and was therefore 54 years of age. The immediate cause of Mr Jerrold's death was disease of the heart, accompanied by violent spasms of the stomach. He was sensible to the last, and died surrounded by relatives and friends. He leaves behind him a widow, three sons— the eldest of whom, Mr Blanchard Jerrold, is making for himself a name n literature— and two daughters, one of whom is married to that well- known philanthropist, Mr Henry Mayhew. Mr Jerrold was formerly a midshipman in the navy, but his health unfitting him for such a life, he was apprenticed to a printer ; but soon left the mechanical duties of a compositor for the more attrac- tive field of literature. Before he had reached his 21st year, he produced at the Surrey Theatre the since widely- circulated nautical drama, " Black- Eyed Susan," for the proper technical phrasing of which his previous naval experience had well quali- fied him. The success was tremendous, and, for a long time, the drama was presented by the same company, on the same nights, at two different theatres, the Surrey and Drury- laue. !' The Rent Day," a drama of English domestic and rural life, followed, and was equally successful. It is by these two melo- dramas, and one other, " The Prisoner of War," and by his two principal comedies, " Time WTorks Wonders," and " Bubbles of the Day," that Mr Jerrold will be best known to posterity as a dramatic author. Mr Jerrold was one of the most valued and constant contributors to Punch. In its pages appeared some of his happiest efforts, among them " Punch's Letters to his Son," " The Story of a Feather, and the immortal " Caudle Lec- tures," serial papers which were the town- talk of the time, and which were looked for week after week with the greatest inte- rest. In July, 1846, he commenced a weekly newspaper, which, being disappointed in the sale, he afterwards disposed of ; and for the last five years he has been the editor of Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, the sale of which, it was understood, he had more than trebled. IMPROVEMENTS FOR FACILITATING SUBMARINE OPERA- TIONS.— On Tuesday a numerous party of engineers and scientific men left the Fenchurch- street terminus of the Blackwall Rail- way, by special train, for the purpose of witnessing the opera- tions, at the Victoria Dock, of the " Nautilus" diving apparatus, which has for some time past been doing actual work for the dock company itself, with a saving of time and money to an extent that must, we think, bring the machine into very general requirement for submarine work. A description of the details of the machine would require too much space. The general principles involved in its work are, that while at rest, and float- ing at the surface, a cover on the top is raised, and on entering a chamber and closing the top again water is admitted through a pipe into two chambers on either side of the machine. The assumption of weight by the entrance of water destroys the buoyancy incident to the displacement of the water by the mass itself. As soon as a sufficient quantity of water or ballast is assumed the machine descends below the sur- face, until the bottom is reached. While descending air is forced to the chamber in which the men are situated, through a hose from a reservoir in a barge. As soon as the air thus drawn is sufficiently condensed to resist the entrance of water a cover to the bottom is raised, and communication is obtained with the bottom. In order to apply the power of the machine to lifting weights, & c, as soon as the machine ( which may be moved by the men inside) is moved to the position of a stone, it is affixed to the same, and the supply of condensed air being thrown from the reservoir into the water chambers, and the water being expelled, the machine exerts a lifting force until the weight is overcome. In this way weights of any size may be lifted and transported in the shortest time. Stones of four tons have been picked up in 25 feet water, brought to the surface, moved 30 feet, deposited on the bottom, and a return to the surface made, the whole occupying eight minutes. Various parties from time to time descended on Tuesday, in 25 feet water. The fact of practical work being performed at the docks by the workmen of the dock company speaks much in praise of the Nautilus. Most critical examinations were made by the various experienced engineers and practical men who were present, all of whom expressed themselves most favourably not only as to the principles involved, but as to their mechan- ical adaptation. ROYAL BEITISH BANK.— ARREST OF M m HUMPHREY BROWN EX- M. P. FOR TEWKESBURY— The prompt and energetic steps taken by Messrs Linklater and Hackwood, to whom the At- torney- General has entrusted the conduct of the prosecution of the directors and general manager of. this bank, have led to the capture of Mr Humphrey Brown. We learn that he is now in custody upon two warrants, by each of which he is required to put in bail for £ 4,000, with two sureties for £ 2,000 each. Sureties for £ 8,000, besides his own recognisances for £ 8,000, will therefore be required before he is released. The Hon John Stapleton, M. P. for Berwick, and the others who have been ar- rested have already given bail to a similar amouut. Within a short time it is believed that all the parties implicated will be secured. Those who have not yet been apprehended are under strict surveillance abroad, and will be brought to this country as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. THE " MORNING HERALD."— In the Bankruptcy Court, on Thursday, the adjourned examination meeting, in the case of Edward Baldwin, described as a printer, of Shoe- lane, late pro- prietor of the Morning Herald and other newspapers was held. The accounts, which extended only over a short period, from May, 1856, to February last, contain the following items:— To ereditors unsecured, £ 22,390; to C. Baldwin, unsecured claim for annuity and interest, £ 17,677; to creditors partially secured, £ 38,647; creditors for cash deposit " d for advertisements, £ 245; liabilities, £ 3,752; profits, £ 574; dividends, £ 121. By cash given up, £ 13; good debtors, £ 1,867; Isaac Butt, balance of cash and bill account, £ 1,633; furniture realised, £ 1,436 ( deduct payable in full, £ 1,230)— £ 155 ; property estimated at £ 295 ; ditto held by creditors, £ 2,403; plant, machinery, and copyright of the Morning Herald, Standard, and St James's Chronicle, sold for £ 16,500 ; losses, including loss on realisation, £ 13,113 ; annuity to C. Baldwin, for nine months, £ 1,400; interest, £ 2,195 ; law costs, £ 474; domestic and personal expenses, £ 1,673; liabilities, as per contra, £ 3,752; deficiency, May 17, 1856, £ 37,933. The profit and loss account extends over nine months, and shows on a total expenditure of £ 29,780, a balance of profit of £ 574. The receipts are stated as follows; by publi- cation, £ 14,331; advertisements, Morning Herald, £ 4,866; ditto, Standard and St James's Chronicle, £ 903; ledger ac- counts, Morning Herald, £ 6,312; ditto, Standard and St James's Chronicle, £ 1,102. The loss on plant, copyright, 4c, was returned at £ 11,500. Mr Johnson, the official assignee, stated that as the accounts had been only recently filed, he should require an adjournment, for the purpose of examining them. An adjournment was ordered for tb. roe weeks, THE PRINCIPALITIES. The following accouut of the mode of conducting the elections of those who are to agree to the future government of the Prin- cipalities does not augur well for any freedom of choice or good- ness of selection :—" The electors, members of corporations, are compelled to go to the Prefecture and sign a voting card in blank aud without date, and the names of the deputies whom they wish chosen by the corporation are designated by Mr A., Mr B., Mr C. Those who will not go quietly and do as they are bid are brought up by gendarmes, and those who had the auda- city to designate by name on the voting cards the deputies whom they wished to elect, had the cards torn up, and were informed that they might name their deputies on any other piece of paper if they chose, but that the voting cards of the Government must be signed in blank. A complaint of this has been laid before the commissioners here, and the French, Russian, Prussian, and Sardinian have written to Constantinople, and protested that a Blvan formed ot deputies so elected, would be contrary to all justice and the Congress of Paris, that thev will not recognise it, and will accordingly have nothing to do w ith it." To whom the fault of this state of things is to be attributed we are not told. The Emperor of Austria has sent the grand cross of the order of the iron Crown to Prince Vogorides, the Ca; macan of Mol- davia. This ostentatious token of approval at the very moment when the Ministers of the other powers which signed the Treaty of Paris are uniting at Constantinople in a very decided protest against the arbitrary and unauthorised acts of Vogorides, at Jassy, is calculated to cause great scandal. The act, however, goes far to explain not only the wretched state of things in the Principalities, as to the future constitution, but as to the open- ing of the navigation ofthe Danube. We need scarcely remind our readers that one of the great causes of the war was the dogged determination of the Russians to close and nullify the Danube. After two campaigns we ejected the Russians from even contact with the Danube. But we have handed over pos- session aud control over this stream to Austria, which is just as much determined as Russia to block up the river, and prevent the vessels of the West from penetrating and from trading there; and which by the political hold that it is getting ef the Princi- palities, will finally exclude us from Galatz far more completely than Russia did. When France, at the Congress of Paris, pro- posed that every power which had territories on the Danube should send a delegate to that commission, the Austrian Pleni- potentiary remonstrated against such a proposal. The Danube, he said, was all Austrian— nothing but Austrian. France, how- ever, insisted. The commission was appointed, but nothing has been done. THE UNITED STATE5. A governor for Utah has been appointed. The Government will order a survey of the Isthmus of Darien to be made. The difficulties of Americans entering Austria had been in- creased. General Walker, the Filibuster, with his staff, had arrived at New Orleans. It is asserted that Walker will return to Nica- ragua shortly with men and money. At Cincinnati, a United States marshal is in custody for ar- resting liarbourers of a fugitive slave. A collision has taken place between the state authorities and supreme authorities in consequence. The Kansas Aid resolutions of the Massachusetts Legislature have been vetoed by the governor. OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA, AUSTRALIA, AND PERSIA.— Intelligence has been re- ceived from the above places by tbe Australian and European steamboat. Her dates are— Sydney, April 11 ; Melbourne, April 15 ; Galle, May 13 ; Calcutta, May 4 ; Madras, May 9 ; Bombay, May 15 ; Hong Kong, April 25. The Columbian brings 59 pas- sengers and 18 boxes of specie valued at £ 48,000. The Oneida was to sail on the lst of May for England. The Simla left Galle on the 15th of April, all well. From Melbourne we learn that Parliament was to reassemble on the 15th of April; the n<> w ministry is reported not to be popular. The gold market is quiet, prices ruling from £ 3 16s to £ 3 17s 6d. The quantity of gold brought down by escort during the past week was below the average. The quantity shipped this year is 682,819 ounces. The export market is fully maintained. It is reported that the 3d Bengal Cavalry had mutinied and killed some of their officers. The Persian Expedition is to remain in the Persian Gulf for three months after the ratification of the treaty, which is to take place at Bagdad on the 4th of June, under the authority of the Hon Mr Murray. The head quarters staff and the first division will remain at Bushire, and the second at Mohammerah, The news of peace has caused universal dissatisfaction in the camp, and there is an extreme anxiety to return to India. The weather continues, upon the whole, favourable, the nights being pleasant and cool. Both the import and export markets are without change, with limited transactions. No change in the money market. Freights have declined. Exchange, 2s lfd to 2s lid. The Raleigh has been all but abandoned, the guns and stores having been taken out imperial parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— The business was of a routine nature, and does not cail for a report. TUESDAY-— THE PRINCESS ROYAL'S ANNUITY BILL was read a second time. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES.— The house went into committeeon this bill.— On clause 21 the LORD CHAN- CELLOR moved the substitution of a clause, punishing the adul- terer with a fine not exceeding £ 10,000.— Lord BROUGHAM showed the absolute necessity of putting an end to actions for crim con, and quoted a number of the highest legal and other authorities against it.— Earl GREY said impunity ought not to be given to the rich, many of whom would gladly incur the penalty of the fine, who would shrink from the imprisonment which he proposed to add to it.— Lord CAMPBELL supported the fine, but thought that there should be no limit to it, so that tbe court might apportion the amount of the fine to the circum- stances of the accused.— The Bishop erf OXFORD supported the fine, but thought that the power of imprisonment should also be given, as it would carry disgrace with it to many who would regard the fine rather as a matter of boast, than a puuishment for an offence against society.— The LORD CHANCELLOR moved to add a clause after clause 25, providing a sentence of fine on the guilty parties, or either of them.— The Bishop of OXFORD moved to amend the clause, to the effect that the court should have the power of ordering imprisonment, where the circum- stances appeared to call for it.— The LORD CHANCELLOR op- posed the amendment, and, after some discussion, the commit- tee divided, when the amendment was carried by a majority of 43 to 33.— The clause, as amended, was then agreed to.— The remaining clauses were then agreed to. THURSDAY.— THE SMOKE NUISANCE ( SCOTLAND) BILL was read a second time. BREACHES OF TRUST.— Lord ST LEONARDS then brought forward his Breaches of Trust Bill, and entered at considerable length into the difference between that and the Fraudulent Breaches of Trust Bill proposed by the Government.— Lord BROUGHAM was not prepared at once to enter on so important and difficult a subject, but would give it his best attention.— Lord CAMPBELL thought their lordships were greatly indebted to Lord St Leonards for calling their attention to this subject, The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that the measure was in some parts impracticable, but hoped that the bill would be read a first time.— After some further discussion the bill was read a first time.— Some other business was then despatched, and their lordships adjourned. FRIDAY— THE PRINCESS ROYAL'S ANNUITY BILL passed through committee. A goad deal of other business was transacted, but the immense pressure of sporting matter pre- vents our giving even our usual curtailed report. THE COURT.— Her Majesty and the royal family left town for Windsor on Tuesday, and on Wednesday were joined by Prince Frederick William of Prussia, who arrived at Dover somewhat unexpectedly. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND UNMANLY CONDUCT.— On Wed- nesday night information was received by the metropolitan police of a most extraordinory highway robbery, committed at Ulverstone, by the aid of chloroform. It seems that Mrs Eliza- beth Savage, housekeeper to Mr Pennington, of Brandrake's Head, was returning home, about noon- day, from Ulverstone with some articles of wearing apparel, when near Lowick Bridge she was seized by three men and a woman, one of whom put a bottle to her nose, supposed to contain chloroform, when she lost all consciousness. When she came to herself she found that she had not only been robbed of her bundle and purse contain- ing a small sum of money, but also of the whole of the wearing apparel she had on her person, the ruffians having left her in a complete state of nudity. Delicacy kept Mrs Savage within the shelter of the wood, where she had been dragged, but at length she succeeded in attracting the attention of two of her own sex, and the requisite clothing having been obtained, Mrs Savage was relieved from her very unpleasant position. PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSES ( WOOD GREEN, MIDDLESEX).— The annual meeting of the subscribers a » d friends to this institution was held on Tuesday evening, at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet- street; Charles Wymau, Esq, in the chair. From the report, which was read by the secretary, it appeared that the receipts during the year were £ 1,276 10s 3d; and the expenditure, including £ 400 invested in the public funds, amounted to £ 1,164 14s 3d, leaving a balance at the bankers of £ 111 16s. Prior to the annual meeting, a second election of inmates took place by ballot, the close of which showed the following as the successful candi- dates :— Robert Hall, aged 78 ( married), George Conway, aged 67 ( married), aud Anne Roe, aged 63 ( widow). HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— IL DON GIOVANNI,— It is an error to suppose that the taste for really good music is dying out. To satisfy an unprecedented demand on the part of the public, the chef d'eeuvre of Mozart is to be repeated on the Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday in the week. RECOVERY OF THE BODY OF ENSIGN BOWLES,— After a sub- mersion of sixteen days, the body of this young officer was discovered floating in the Ribble, near to the Guides, or King William public- house, Freckleton, by Henry Gornall, the guide, at six o'clock on Monday evening. It will be remembered that on the night of the 23d ult Mr Bowles left Lytham in a boat, for Preston, with a man named Cartmel; both were drowned, but the latter was found near the spot where the accident happened, on the day after its occurrence, and it was seen that the boat had sunk. It is supposed that the remains of Mr Bowles were " sanded up," and that the freshet occasioned by the recent heavy rains disengaged them from the superincumbent deposit. FIRE AT HOUNSLOW.— On Tuesday morning a fire broke out at the Red Lion Inn, Hounslow. A telegraphic message was sent to London for engines, and the engines from Hounslow Barracks were also called into requisition, but the flames were not extinguished until property of great value was destroyed. In fact, one- half of the spacious building, including the back cellars, the parlours and tap- rooms on the ground floor, and several bedrooms on the first floor, together with their costly contents, were consumed, independently of the damage done to the roof, which is nearly burnt round, and the injury to the furniture and building of Mr Milton. Mr Lewis was insured n the Royal Exchange Fire Office, and Mr Milton in the same office. The buildings were the property of Mr Farnell, the brewer, but it could not be ascertained whether they were in- sured or not. MURDER BY CONVICTS IN AUSTRALIA.— By the last mail we learn, that on the 26th of March, the Inspector- General of the Penal Department, Mr Price, was brutally murdered by a num- ber of convicts, at Williamstown. The excitement among the convicts, both in the stockades and on board the hulks, became exceedingly great after Mr Price's murder. The greatest insub- ordination prevailed; aud on bqjird the Success this reached such a height, that the warders were unable to go among the prisoners, who maintained a continual uproar for several hours. It was deemed necessary to place the Victoria war steamer, with shotted guns, alongside of the Success, and, had the mutiny among the convicts gone much further, orders would have been given to fire into the hulk. Since then quiet has been restored. Several convicts have been tried and sentenced to death for the murder, J ( SHOCKING ACCIDENT FROM MACHINERY.— On Monday fore- noon, Mr John Fletcher, engineer and manager to Mr Shaw, ironfounder, Barnsley, came to his death in the most shocking manner. Some repairs were wanted making in connection with an engine at the East Gawber Colliery, near Barnsley, and the deceased had gone to examine it. While descending into that portion of the machinery in which the fly- wheel runs, he is sup- posed to have stepped upon something which turned on the steam, and set the machinery in motion. The consequence was that he was jammed in by the fly- wheel and so mutilated that he died almost immediately afterwards. The deceased, who was for many years manager at the Milton Ironworks, aud was a man of considerable practical experience, was absut 60 years of age, and has left a widow and family. THE CASE OF THOMAS FULLER BACON.— It has been ar- ranged that the trial of Thomas Fuller Bacon, who stands com- mitted for the wilful murder of his mother by poison, at Stam- ford, shall take place in London, under the act of Lord Campbell, which was passed with especial reference to the murderer, William Palmer. It will be remembered that, in conjunction with his wife, Bacon was tried very recently for the murder of his two children at Walworth, and was acquitted, it being clearly established that he had nothing to do with the horrible crime. The alleged murder of his mother has created so strong a feeling of excitement in the neighbourhood of Stam- ford, and the case has been commented on with such severity by tbe local press, that it is felt desirable for the ends of justice that the trial shall take place in the Central Criminal Court in London. The session commences on Monday next; but as it is always understood that the June session shall be made as short as possible for the convenience of the judges going circuit, the trial will not take place until after their lordships' return from the country, probably not until the August session, when a special day will be appointed. REGULATIONS FOR MALE BATHERS.— Many complaints are usually made in the season* of the annoyance caused at the sea- side by the exposure of the persons of bathers. A bill has been brought into the House of Lords by the Marquis of Westmeath to redress this grievance. It empowers the bench of magistrates in any county, city, or borough, where bathing publicly takes place, to make reasonable regulations and bye- laws for the pre- vention of the exposure of the nude persons of bathers, in- cluding the power to compel such bathers to wear a garment suitable to prevent any such indecent exposure. The penalty for offending against these regulations or bye- laws will be 40s for every offence, with costs, or the alternative of imprisonment in gaol, with or without hard labour, for three calendar months. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.— Tbe Daily Neivs publishes the following:—" The public will learn with very general satisfac- tion that her Majesty's Attorney- General has taken vigorous measures for trying the strength of the law, as it stands, against the late directors of the Royal British Bank. Ex officio in- formations have been filed, aud Bench warrants issued thereon out of the Court of Queen's Bench, for the arrest of the parties implicated. Mr Owen, the first director captured under the process of the court, has been brought up, and liberated on his own recognisance of £ 4,000, and two sureties of £ 2,000 each. The residue of the fraudulent fraternity are now in course of being picked up in different localities, home and continental, under the vigilant superintendence of Mr Inspector Field. Cameron, we learn, is not unlikely to be soon, if he be not now, HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— THE OATHS BILL was read a second time, without opposition. THE CIVIL SERVICE.— Lord GODERICH called attention to the last report of the Civil Service Commissioners, and to the present system of admission to the civil service. The noble lord complained that the system of unrestricted competition pro- mised bv the Government, had not been carried out to the extent which had been expected, which was the more to be regretted, as, whenever the system had been resorted to, its application had been eminently successful.— Mr BASS inquired as to who the parties were who nominated the candidates for examination.— Mr RICH called attention to the report of the Civil Service Commissioners, and asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the system of competitive examination of candidates for admission to public offices, to which he stated on the 9th of J uiy, 1856, the Government would study to give extension, was now in more general and effective operation, than by the report it appears to have been during the latter part of 1856. He thought the Government had not redeemed its pledge to the public.— Mr MALINS said it was a strange pub- lic competition, if it were, under the new system, as difficult to get nominated for examination as it was, under the former sys- tem, to obtain the office itself.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE- QUER said it was a mistake to suppose that these nominations were thrown open to the public. The offices were in the patron- age of the Crown, and the pledge given was, that examinations should be established to secure superior fitness for office on the part of the candidates. The nominations for examination rested with the heads of the respective departments of the Govern- ment, with the exception of the smaller offices, which lay with the head of the Government. The system of competitive exa- mination had been very much extended, and, by adopting it in the Treasury, the example was given to all t he other Govern- mental departments. FRAUDULENT TRUSTEES.- On the order of the day for the second reading of the Fraudulent Trustees, &?, Bill, Mr Sergeant KINGLAKE offered a suggestion to the Attor- ney- General, that he should introduce a clause making it punishable for a trustee to use trust funds for his own pur- poses, even when no fraud was contemplated, but where loss might accrue to the parties interested.— Mr ROLT stated several objections to the bill, which would require that its clauses should be considered with much caution in committee.— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL expressed a hope that hon and learned gentlemen would frame their suggestions into clauses, so that they wight be practically considered on a future stage of the bill.— The bill was then read a second time. TUESDAY.— GRAND JURIES.- Sir F. THESIGER moved for leave to bring in a bill to dispense with the attendance of grand juries in the metropolitan courts, except in particular cases, and cited the evidence of some eminent authorities against the necessity for the continuance of such a tribunal. He proposed that no charge should be hereafter tried in the Central Criminal Court, or in any other court within the metro- politan police district, without a previous investigation before a magistrate, and that no inquiry by a grand jury should be at all necessary.— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said the bill should re- ceive the support of Government.— Leave was then given to bring in the bill. WILLS OF BRITISH SUBJECTS ABROAD.— Sir F. KELLY moved for and obtained leave to bring in a bill to give validity and effect to the wills of British subjects made abroad, and called the attention of the house to several cases of great hard- ship, wherein the wills of British subjects, who had gone to reside abroad, were rendered null and void, because they had not been made in conformity to the law of the country in which the testators were domiciled. There was no reason why a Bri- tish subject should not be allowed to make bis will according to British law, simply because he resided abroad. THE JOINT STOCK COMPANY'S BILL was read a third time and passed. WEDNESDAY— SALE OF BEER,— On the motion for the second reading of the Sale of Beer Bill, Mr K. SEYMER moved as au amendment that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. The measure, he contended, would seriously interfere with the freedom of trade, and restrict the legitimate enjoyments of the community, without accomplishing its avowed object, by diminishing the vice of drunkenness. Sbbriety was to be learnt from the example of the higher classes, or incul- cated by the diffusion of education, teut could never be enforced by compulsory legislation. The bill was also objectionable as strengthening the monopoly now enjoyed by the great brewers, whose influence was already paramount among the licensing magistrates, and not insignificant even in Parliament itself.— Mr BROWN, in seconding the amendment, explained the misconcep- tion by which his name had originally been inscribed as one of the promoters of the bill.— The bill was supported by Mr NEW- DEGATE and Mr D. GRIFFITHS.— Sir G. GREY gave credit to Mr Hardy for the motive which had induced him to attempt dealing with so difficult and invidious a question. Reviewing the various measures that had been enacted or suggested with the view of regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, the Home Secretary confessed that almost without exception they had all failed, but ventured to promise, on his own part, the introduc- tion of a bill during the ensuing session which would, as he hoped, meet the chief evils now complained of. With this bill in prospect he suggested that the house should postpone legisla- tion for the present.— After a few words from Mr Kendall and Mr Packe, Mr HARDY intimated his intention to persevere with his motion, notwithstanding the opposition of the Government. — Mr Villiers and General Thompson having briefly spoken in support of tbe amendment, and Mr Barrow in support of the bill, the house divided, and negatived the second reading by a majority of 213 to 180. The bill is consequently lost. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION OF MEMBERS.— Mr LOCKE KING moved the second reading of the Property Qualification Bill. This measure abolished the property qualification now re- quired from members of " Parliament, and made the system of re- presentation in England in this respect, as the hon member ex- plained, similar to the practice which was formerly universal and still prevailed in Scotland.— The motion was seconded by Mi HADFIELD and opposed by Sir G. GREY.- On a division it was rejected by 204 to 145. THURSDAY.— THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER.~ Mr WISI called attention to the financial accounts of the Duchy of Lan caster, and moved for returns setting forth certain details of th< estates appertaining to that Crown property, and of the sales grants, leases, purchases, and exchanges of lands, mines, an< rents forming part of the duchy. In support of his motion, thi hon member enumerated a long list ef functionaries drawini salaries from the revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster, and per forming to all appearance very trifling duties. He believed tha the property was mismanaged, and that a much larger incomi ought to be derived from it. As the best means of accomplishinf this object, he suggested that the duchy should be made nationa property, and a suitable allowance granted by way of commuta lion to the privy purse.— Alderman COPELAND seconded thi motion.— Mr BAINES, Chancellor of the Duchy, admitted tha the net revenue was less than it might be made, and would pro bably become hereafter. The estate was, however, burthene< with outstanding leases, vested rights, and officials, who hel( almost sinecure places for life. Every opportunity was, however seized for improving the property and protecting the interests of the Crown. He consented to the production of the returns moved for by Mr Wise.— After a few words from Mr RICARDC and Mr BASS, the motion was agreed to. THE BENGALESE AND THE POLICE.— Mr KINNAIRD called attention to a petition from some Protestant missionaries in Bengal, and moved two resolutions declaring that the Benaa- lese population suffered grievous oppression from the police, and from the want of a proper administration of justice, and enjoin- ing on the Government the duty of making special inquiry into the social condition of the people, especially with reference to the system of landed tenures, the state of the police, and the administration of justice generally in the lower provinces of Bengal. The hon member cited many testimonies corrobo- rating the allegations contained in his resolutions, and enforced the necessity of instituting a full inquiry into grievances and mal- administrations, of which complaints had been made.— Mr DUNLOP seconded the motion, and added a few more citations bearing upon the question.— Mr V. SMITH submitted that ample inquiries had already been completed, and every necessary information was before the house. All the allegations of griev- ances were founded upon official reports which required no further investigation. Respecting the grievances themselves he quoted various counter authorities, showing that the evil had been exaggerated, and that many remedial measures were in course of application. The Government had neglected no inquiry, and were acting vigorously in the very direction sug- gested in the motion, A commission of inquiry such as was pro- posed would really delay improvement, embarrass the progress of reforms already commenced, and infuse in the minds of the nation an expectation of change, and distrust of the existing system, which might lead to very serious perplexities.— After a good deal of discussion the motion was rejected by 119 to 18. FRIDAY— Here, as in the Housa of Lords, much business was transacted, but it was not of much general interest. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF GENERAL SIR WILLIAM HERRIES.— We regret to announce the death of Lient- General Sir William Lewis Herries, C. B., K. C. H. Sir Wm. Herries was the second son of Colonel Herries, and youngest brother of the late Right Hon J. C. Herries. He joined the army in 1801. He served as a brigade- major in the expedition against Buenos Ayres. In 1S09 he was aide- de- camp to Sir Eyre Coote in the Walcheren expedition, aud was actively employed in the siege of Flushing. He served on the quartermaster- general's staff in the Peninsula, an>\ was present at the battle of Vittoria, the siege of San Sebastian* and the passage of the Bidassoa. On the 14th of April, 1814. in the famous sortie from Bayonne. Sir John Hope had his horse shot under him, and lay, disabled by his great weight, exposed to a heavy fire. Sir " William and his brother aide- de- camp, now Major- General Moore, rushed forward to his rescue, but, before they could move the enormous weight that they had to deal with, a ball struck Sir William on the knee, and his companion on the arm. All three were taken prisoners, and Sir William had his leg amputated the next morning. This event closed his military career, at least his career in active service. Subsequently he served as quartermaster- general in the Ionian Islands, as comp- troller of army accounts, and as commissioner of the Board of Audit, from which he retired in 1854. The colonelcy of the 6Sth regiment is vacant by his death. THE COMMANDANT AT WOOLWICH.— We have reason to be- lieve that Major- General Sir William Fen wick Williams, K. C. B., is about to vacate his post as Commandant at Woolwich, the gallant general having been offered, and it is said accepted, the governorship and command- in- chief of Malta, in the room of Major- General Sir William Reid, K. C. B., resigned. It is cur- rently reported that Major- General J. E. Dupuis, C. B., who greatly distingished himself during the Carlist war in Spain, and served during the recent war in the East with distinction at Alma, Balaklava, and Inkermann, and during the siege of Sebas- topol, will in all probability be Sir William's successor. General Dupuis is decorated with the 3d class of the Legion of Honour. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS.— The Melville, 72, hospital- ship, Commander Trollope, having remedied her leakage, hauled alongside Portsmouth dockyard on Friday to embark the head- quarters of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers for China. On Wednesday there arrived at Aldershott from Gibraltar, via Portsmouth, the 96th Regiment, consisting of 19 officers and 724 men, under the command of Colonel Scovell, and two squad- rons of the lst ( King's) Dragoon Guards from Exeter. The re- mainder of the regiment is to follow immediately. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE NIAGARA.— This United States screw frigate arrived at Spithead on Saturday week. A naval authority, writing from Portsmouth, says: Her appearance from the shore was any- thing but prepossessing. On looking aloft, however, the sea- man's eye instantly detects the beatifully stayed masts and well- squared yards. Her size, and we believe her tonnage, has beeu considerably overrated. Her length has been stated to be nearly 390 feet, which would make her longer than the Himalaya; whereas the Niagara is 45 feet shorter than the Himalaya, but has more beam. From fore part of figure- head to after- part of taffrailshe is 339 feet 6 inches ; breadth of beam, 56 feet. In out- ward appearance she looks like a foreign troop- ship. It is only when on board that her advantages are perceptible. The bulwarks on the upper deck are full seven feet in height, offering great protection from an enemy's fire. On this deck twelve monster guns of eleven inch bore are to be worked, and shutters can be lowered in all directions so as to get an acute angle. There can be no doubt, provided accuracy of range could be obtained, that she would be a most formidable antagonist; but we should infi- nitely prefer in time of action such frigates as the Imp6rieuse, Shannon, or Emerald, with tEeir present armament. Descend- ing to the main deck of the Niagara, the great space afforded is immediately perceptible, there being nearly eight feet under the beams, which are of great strength. We feel satisfied at the present moment she is a disguised ship of war, for her fighting quarters on the main deck, with 68 and long 32 pounders, wonld be perfection. Her engine room is very beautifully arranged, but the temperature much above what we had expected. DEATH OF CAPTAIN WILLIAM W. EYTON.— We regret to announce the death of William Wynne Eyton, who was one of the few survivors of those engaged iu the memorable battle of Trafalgar. He entered the navy July 10,1805, as first- elass volun- teer, on board the Neptune, 98, Capt Thomas F. Fremantle, and on Oct 21 following participated in the battle of Trafalgar. THE DRAMA. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— On Thursday night the experi- ment was made of approximating the representation of " Don Giovanni" more closely to the design of the composer and the meaning of the poet than in any representation that has been seen for many years. Three pieces hitherto omitted have been restored, new scenery has been painted, and in some instances the business of the stage has been altered to exhibit more clearly the progress of the action. The musical reformation has been most creditably achieved under the superintendence of Signor Bonetti, and the whole strength of the company is employed in the execution of the work. The restored airs are " Delia sua pace," sung by Giuglini, as Don Ottavio ; " Ho capito," svmg by Corsi as Masetto ; aud " Ah fuggi il traditor," by Donna Elvira. Piccolomini played Zerlina in the most charming man- ner, and Mdlle Spezia greatly distinguished herself as Donna Anna. The opera is to be repeated every evening next week. MR BENEDICT'S CONCERTS.— Mr Benedict gave the first of a series of three gratad concerts, " dramatic, classical, aud miscel- laneous," at Her Majesty's Theatre, on Wednesday afternoon, with the greatest success. This new experiment of dividing his materials into three, instead of, as hitherto, bringing them all into account at one not unfitly denominated " monster" enter- tainment, is judicious, and promises to be advantageous. The concerts which Mr Benedict had been accustomed to offer his numerous and fashionable patrons were, in spite of the variety of their attraction, always too long— so much so, indeed, that it was no easy task to hear them out to the end. On Wednesday the programme contained more than enough for any reasonable amateur. The only fault of the selection was the rare occur- rence of Mr Benedict's own name, as composer and performer. Two of his compositions, and no more, were introduced— the overture to his opera of " The Crusaders," upon the merits of which we have more than once oommented, and a graceful ballad from an earlier dramatic work, " The Brides; of Venice "—" At Morn upon the Beach"— extremely well sung bv Herr Reichardt. The house was crowded. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.— On Tuesday " Don Giovanni" was played here. Grisi was Donna Anna, and she was supported by Mario as Don Ottavio, Marai as Elvira, Bosio as Zerlina, Herr Formes as Leporello, and Ronconi as Don Giovanni. With such a cast this magnificent opera was rendered to perfection. The house was, itis needless to say, crammed. MADAME RISTORI AT THE LYCEUM.— On Monday Madame Ristori, the great Italian actress, appeared, for the first time this season, as Medea. The performance was fully equal to the great efforts of Madame Ristori last season, and she was rap- turously received by a crowded house. On Wednesday Madame Ristori performed Rosmunda, in Alfieri's tragedy of that name, and gave all the varied and powerful expression called for by the situation of the drama, with as great effect as when it was per- formed in London last year. This character is so imbued with horror and intensity that it demands the very highest dramatic art in its presentation, and perhaps fierce aud terrible passions were never exhibited with greater power than by Madame Ristori in Rosmunda; her great command of facial expression, the grandeur of her attitudes, and the flexibility of her voice, were all called into play, especially in the great scene in the third act, which produced a call before the curtain, and in the fearful scene of the catastrophe, which received a like honour. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— Among the numerous portraits of distinguished individuals lately added to this collee- tion is an admirable likeness of his royal highness the Com- mander- in- Chief, the royal duke is represented in the uniform of a general officer decorated with numerous military orders, This figure has excited much attention, no doubt in consequence 1—* « ' « Viiirhnpss since he obtained office. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A POLICEMAN.— On Saturday week* at Marlborough- street, Charles Melbourne, a desperate looking man, and a well- known burglar and ticket- of- Ieave convict, was charged with having fired a loaded pistol at a constable and wounding him, with intent to murder him.— Gideon Crocker, a police- sergeant of the C division, said ho was in the Haymarket; at half- past two that morning, when he saw the prisoner, and believing him to have been the man who had recently attempted to commit a burglary at Lord Pantaure's, he sent to police- con- stable Murrell, who knew the prisoner better than he did. AS soon as Murrell and the witness approached the prisoner and his companion they both rau off. Witless secured the prisoner, and when Murrell returned, after being unable to overtake his companion, they both took hold of the prisoner to lead him off to the station, telling him he was wanted for a burglary. Wit- ness soon afterwards left the prisoner with Murrell to go in search of his companion. Directly he was gone he heard the port of a pistol. Upon running back he saw Murrell still hold- ing the prisoner, who immediately fired off a second pistol. Mur- rell cried out, " Lay hold of him, for he has shot me." The pri- soner, after some resistance, was then taken into custody. One pistol only was found, and he had upon him a large bowie- knife, four pebbles to fit the pistol ( produced), a quantity of small shot and copper caps, two boxes of lucifers, and about lis in money. — Police- constable Murrell confirmed this statement, and said that as soon as the sergeant had gone away the prisoner asked him what he was wanted for. Witness said, " You bad better ask the sergeant." The prisoner then deliberately put his hand into his left pocket, pulled out what he afterwards learned was a pistol, and shot him in the mouth. Witness was much affected, and partly stunned at the time, but he kept his hold of the prisoner and forced the pistol out of Ms hand. An alarm having been made, 1 he sergeant re- turned, and, as soon as he came up, the prisoner fired at him with another pistol. Witness was afterwards removed to the hospital in a cab, where the stone now produced was cut out from his mouth. The woun- l bled a great deal.— Mr Oliver Applin, house- surgeon, Charing- cross Hospital, said he examined the constable, and found he had received a lacerated wound in the chin, about a quarter of an inch in diameter. The haemorrhage had ceased at the time. He made au incision and took out a pebble. Had the stone penetrated deeper, the constable's life would have been endangered— Police- ser- geant Loomb, 11 B, deposed to haviug seen the prisoner tried at the Central Criminal Court, iu January, 1853, for burglary, by the name of Charles Russel). He was sentenced to be transported for seven years. He is a ticket of- leave man, — Tbe prisoner, who refused to make any defence, was then fully committed. He appeared to have been very severely handled, and upon inquiry it turned out that as soon as the constable WM se<: nto bleed from the face, the " swells " about the Hay market at that hour rushed upon the prisoner, attacked Mm furiously, and it was with difficulty that the police rescued him from per- haps fatal vengeance. From the testimony of the police, it ap- pears that the prisoner is a most desperate and determined cha- racter, and that since his liberation on a ticket- of- leave he has been known and suspected to be engaged in several burglaries. He was a short time ago in custody at this court on suspicion of burglary, but discharged for want of sufficient proof. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY, JUNE 12.

ANOTHER WATCH ROBBERY AT EPSOM.— COURAGEOUS CON- DUCT OE A YOUTH.— On Friday week a man named J ohn Ford, aged 21, a hawker, was brought up on remand before the magis- trates in petty sessions at Epsom, charged with stealing a gold watch from Mr Skinner, jun, son of Mr W. D. Skinner, tobacco- manufacturer, No. 242, Temple Bar, Strand, on Epsom course on the Derby day. It appeared that the prosecutor, who is about fifteen years of age, on the day in question was looking at some gipsies on the race course, who were telling fortunes, when suddenly he found his watch gone. The prisoner was near him, and had his ( prosecutor's) watch in his hand. He got up to the prisoner, who was running away, and secured hold of liis hand. Some ofthe prisoner's companions came up and laid hold of Mr Skinner's hands and forced him from the prisoner. The prose- cutor made a desperate attempt to release himself and broke from them. He followed the prisoner some distance and over- took him. He closed upon the prisoner, and called a gentleman to his assistance, who caught hold of the prisoner, when he was detained till 430 A came up. He was then taken to the station- house. The prisoner was sentenced to four months' imprison- ment with hard labour in the Wandsworth house of correction. EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO A YOUTH,— On Tuesday an inquest was taken by Mr W. Baker, at the London Hospital, respecting the death ef James Lee, aged 16 years. The deceased was standing, on Thursday week, near the windlass of a crane, at the Steam- packet Wharf, Lower East Smithfield, when his neckerchief became entangled with the machinery, whereby he sustained extensive injury to the neck. He was THE SEACOLE FUND — Our readers are aware that a committee- has been formed to promote the claims of Mrs Seacole to the support and sympathy of the public. Her exertions in the Crimea are well known, but we are informed that she rendered valuable services as a nurse and medical attendant in Jamaica, in 1850 and 1853, when the yellow fever and cholera committed such ravages. Mrs Seacole has been reduced to poverty in con- sequence of her devoted attendance to the sick in the Crimea. At the termination of the war her premises were fuil of valuable stores, consigned to her at high prices, which could neither be carried away nor sold, except at a ruinous loss. Mrs Seacole has received many testimonials to her skill, kindness, and utility, as well from persons of high rank as from private soldiers ; and we believe we may safely recommend the Seacole Fund to the gene- rous consideration of the public. NEW EXPLORING SCHEME.— A novel scheme has been pro- pounded for exploring the vast unknown interior of Australia. Mr Charles Green, son of the veteran aeronaut of that name, proposes, in conjunction with J. J. O, Taylor, who has invented a screw propeller, to explore the interior of Australia, by means ofthe famous Nassau balloon. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The returns for the week that ended on Saturday, June 6, exhibit the gratifying fact that the remark- ably small number of 868 deaths was registered in that period in London, The deaths now returned are less by 209 than the average rate of mortality at this period of the year would have produced. Last week the births of 774 boys and 768 girls, in all 1,542 children, were registered in London. In the ten corre- sponding weeks of the years 1847- 56 the average number was 1,497. Persons of delicate complexion are particularly susceptible of the influence of the atmosphere at this peculiar season; and ladies, whether frequenting the crowded saloon, the close as- sembly, the rural ride or drive, the summer promenade, or the aquatic excursion, should invariably have recourse to that in- valuable preparation, Rowlands' Kalydor, which is found to be the most gentle yet powerful preservative of female beauty and grace that science has yet discovered. Cure No. 8,906; " Thirteen years' cough, indigestion, and general debility have been removed by DH Barry's excellent Ravalenta Arabica Food.— James Porter, Athol- street, Perth."— Cure No. 4,208 : " Eight Sears* dyspepsia nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, afve been effectually removed by Du Barry's health- restoring food.

Whatever misgivings may have been entertained beforehand of the success of the " Royal Meeting" on Ascot Heath, it can- not be denied that as regards sport it far exceeded the most sanguine expectations. During tho recent dry weather the ground had become so very hard that it was feared fewer horses than usual would be sent for their engagements; and day after day reports reached the metropolis from the various training districts cf the lameness or break down of one or other fa, vourite. A change in the weather took place, however, at the very moment it was needed, and in the course of Sunday and Monday a great quantity of rain fell, which benefited the Heath and the whole district around, imparting likewise a delightful freshness to the magnificent foliage of the Royal forest, through which the drive to the Course forms one of the most pleasant characteristics of the meeting to those located at Windsor, or the travellers by the Paddington route to and from town. The opening of the new line direct to Ascot was more sensibly felt this year than last by the hotel and lodging- house ' keepers of the Royal borough; for although the principal hotels were full, they did nothing like the business of former years, nor was there sufficient demand for apartments to warrant the proprietors thereof in asking the " war prices" they have hitherto done. Lamentations conse- quently were general throughout the place, even amongst the livery stable keepers; but these people should bear in mind that they have themselves alone to thank for this altered state of things ( of the approach of which we warned them year after year) in consequence of the unprincipled manuer in which visitors have beeu victimised during their stay there at previous meet- ings The fable of the " Goose and the Golden Egg" has been lamentably verified in this instance, and the result ought to be a warning elsewhere. Since last year the programme has been strengthened b. v the addition of a new Biennial Stake, to be run for at two and three years old on the Tuesday ; of a £ 60 Plate to the Thursday; and a new Handicap with £ 300 added by the South ' Western and the Staines and Wokingham Railway Companies, on the Friday. The latter stake is in lieu of the Great Western Handicap, to which the Pad- dington Company so liberally contributed for many years; and as the Waterloo line now enjoys the " lion's share" of the profits it is but fair that the directors should follow the example of the rival Company, who cannot be blamed for with- drawing their former donation. The prospects of sport, Ac, were so ably discussed by our correspondent " Observer" last week that if is unnecessary for us to extend this portion of our introduction to the meeting by referring to the contents of the programme further than to express a hope that the entry for Her Majesty's gracious gift, " The Vase," may next year be honoured with au entry more worthy of the august donor, and that the Cup, as the principal weight for age race of the country, may continue to attract all the best horses of the day to enter the lists for this champion prize. TUESDAY, June 9. — The treacherous appearance of the skies exercised a very marked influence over tha attendance of visitors on the Course, and the general aspect of matter8 was anything but cheering. Of ladies in the Grand Stand there was a visible falling off as compared with former years; whilst the carriage company, which year by year grows small by degrees, seemed on the present occasion scarcely to form a feature in the scene. The number of four- in- hand drags was perhaps beyond the average, but in other vehicles the diminution was very perceptible. Of course much of this is attributable to the facilities now afforded by the railway compinies, one of which, the South Western, delivers its customirs withiu a quarter of a mile of the Grand Stand; but, weather set aside, there can be no doubt that much of the duluess of the Tuesday's proceedings is attributable to the regular absence of the Court on that day from the races. We have so often commented upon this innovation upon old custom, and lamented the influence it has had upon the fading glories of Ascot, that further allusion to the sub- ject is unnecessary. Whether the exalted personage to whom rumour ( and, we believe, justly) attributes the change has thereby enhanced his popularity among the people of his adopted country is not for us to decide, but from the remarks • which necessarily come to our ears we should judge that the opposite course would be infinitely more congenial to the taste of the public: generally, and less damaging to his Royal Highness. The early part of the day was bright and fine, with the excep- tion of some ominous clouds, and the muster of visitors at the Waterloo aud Paddington stations displayed many groups of fashionably dressed ladies, whose light summer attire seemed anything but calculated to defy the storms which were evidently in embryo. The arrangements of both companies were perfect, and all the travellers were accommodated without the slightest difficulty or delay. The Great Western appeared to be most ex- tensively patronised by the fashionable world, and, thanks to the broad gauge, aud a plentiful supply of vehicles at Windsor, the West Euders were enabled to reach the course almost as quickly as those who conferred their favours ou the rival company, who siuce las'; year have formed an excellent gravelled walk from the station at Ascot to the high road in the rear of the Stand. The South Western Company ran extra trains from Twickenham, and also from Reading, for the accommodation of couutry visitors, but we doubt whether on this occasion the experiment was a pro- fitable one. The gathering of professionals aud the general at- tendants at all great meetings was fully up to the mark. The Queen's and other private stands had each its accustomed number of fashionable and aristocratic visitors, and here alone did the attendance come up to the average, clearly showing that among the nobility of the land, at least, the good old Euglish sport has lost none of its attractions, and that if the glories of Ascot do fade it will be from no lack of countenance on the part of tbe noblest, the fairest, and best of England's daughters. The weather was showery during the afternoon, aud though disagreeable to the visitors the rain was most acceptable in im- proving the condition of the running ground, which had been mowed, aud was otherwise in good order. Compared with the opening day last year, the card, iu addi- tion to the weakest entry ever known for the Vase, exhibited a falling off in the number of items; but, in other respects, we have a favourable report to make— large fields contested the Trial, Ascot, and Biennial Stakes, and the introduction of the latter in lieu of the Triennials served to maintain the interest that has invariably attached to the two year old running at this meeting. The first race— the Trial— was set for half- past one o'clock, but owing to the vagaries of Badsworth ( who indulged in an impromptu gallop of upwards of three miles beforehand), and other causes hereafter explained, a delay of half au hour took place before tbe " games" commenced in earnest. The whole of the eighteen entered went to the post, and for the third year in succession a two year old from Mr T. Parr's, carrying 91b extra as exemption from being claimed, was made the favourite. With reference to the penalty, however, the disadvantage was not so great as may at fir3t sight appear, for with three exceptions, the remaiuing eight two year olds carried more or less overweight; and the question arises whether it would not be advisable to raise the weights — say to 5st for the young ones— so as to place them on a more equal footong with the old ones, by enabling all to carry their proper weights. Failing to repeat Coroner's performance two years a,~ o, York to- day obtained the same unenviable position that Apathy did last year, by playing second fiddle to The Early Bird, who.' happening to be in one of his best of humours, and with the " steadier" of 9st 3lb on his back, made a dreadful example of his opponents, several of whom, nevertheless, may ba expected to " perform" rather differently hereafter. This was " first blood" for the fielders, but in the Ascot Derby, which followed, the " gentlemen" balanced accounts, and got their money back on Sydney, between whom and Turbit the truth of thu Two Thousand running was confirmed to the letter, the extra, distance here, moreover, being all in favour of the Baron's horse. Fifteen runners wore telegraphed for the Stakes, which stood next on the card, including Martinet, but after the horse had cantered up the course, his number was re- moved by desire of his new owner, Lord William Powlett, and he did not start. Cerva having broken down, was struck out at five minutes past ten in the morning. The betting was by no means brisk except upon the two favourites, Alice Weutworth and Redemption, although by their respective parties Winkfield, Artillery, and Vulcan were each more or less " fancied." The race was carried off by Claude Lorraine, a veritable outsider, whose success recalled that of Buckthorn in 1853, from the circumstance of both horses having been tailed off so far in the Swinley Bottom as to be considered out of the race ; and so hopeless did the winner's chance to- day appear at that point that 50 to 1 was vainly offered against him in the Ring. If ever a jockey was entitled to praise for the exhibition of patience and judgment, little Perry is certainly most deserving of it. When the race appeared to be reduced to a match between Redemption and Ruth opposite the Stand, Claude Lorraine seemed literally to drop from the clouds, and we suspect took both Prior aud Blackburn somewhat unawares, as the two latter, from a belief, probably, that all other opposition was at an end aifterWinkfield's retirement at that point, were intently watching each other. We are credulous, however, that either could have successfully stalled off the winner's rush at the last, even if prepared for it, for Ruth almost stood still at the finish, - and Redemption shut up the instant Prior called upon her. Neither Mr Cooper nor his trainer backed the winner to- day for a shilling. One bookmaker took 200 to 10, and a few others bearing in mind the easy style in which he beat a large field at Newmarket in the spring, were tempted to invest a " fiver" or so, at prioes ranging between 10 and 20 to 1, although the majority of tha Ring had the good fortune to miss the horse altogether. The small entry of three for Her Majesty's Vase was a subject of surprise and regret, but what was wanting in quan- tity was made up for by the quality of the trio that contested it, although one of the number— Mary— was never in the race. John Osborne adopted the waiting tactic, as usual, but added to the work she had already undergone Mary's competitors to- day were of a different class to those she has hitherto met this season. With the running in the Derby for a guide, the " talents" made Strathnaver favourite, but Arsenal turned the tables upon him, and, added to the successful debut of Clydesdale im- mediately afterwards, in some degree revived the prestige of the Findon stable. This makes the third Queen's Vase that Mr. Howard has won. The pace was wretched for two- thirds of the distance, and to the want of a " pilot" for Strattraaver, who has the greatest aversion to go first even at home, Mr I'Anson attri- butes his defeat, " The Vase," which was exhibited in front of the Master of the Buckhounds' Stand, was described by us last week. It is a capacious tankard of bright silver, capable of holding upwards of a gallon ; such a vessel as an abbot of the olden time would have rejoiced to have quenched his thirst from, or frora which Queen Elizabeth herself might have quaffed wassail to her admiring subjects. On the lid is reprepresented, with great truth and spirit, the contest of a boar brought to bay with two ferocious dogs. The whole reflects great credit upon Mr Cotterill, by whom it was designed. The old adage of " it never rains," & c, was truly exemplified in the Two Year Old Biennial, which followed. A heavy storm broke over the Heath, aud prevented the usual inspection of the youngsters, of whose prowess rumour had been more or less busy. A field of ten went to the post, iucluding a couple of greys from John Scott's stable, but the only one backed in earnest was Clydesdale, who came out and won like a racehorso the instant Goater called upon him. The winner— a powerfid good- looking colt by Annandale— was backed rather freely at 1,000 to 30 for the Derby. What his price was afterwards it was impossible to make out, owing to tbe confusion caused by the storm, which drove book- makers and everybody else under shelter. The rain fortunately moderated a little just before the last race— the " wind- up" of the Ascot Triennials- for which the telegraph announced half- a- dozen starters, Vi- storia— appropriate enough at " Royal Ascot"— being the favourite. The wet, however, quite upset previous calculations, and whilst interfering with the mare's chance improved Aleppo's, whose old jockey indulged the horse's peculiarity, and made the best use o? his allowance by leading them a " cracker" throughout. As in the Vase last, year, it looked as if his followers would never " come anigh," but after being at least a hundred yards in advance at one time, Lis lead gradually diminished approaching the last turn, and when fairly iu the straight he was eased, which let up Victoria and. pitapat. The former ( pulling double) looked like winning until opposite ihe Stand, when she " cracked," and left Aleppo and Pitapat to fight it out, which they did in earnest, the final struggle feeing so severe and remarkably close that until Mr Clark's flat ® f a short head in favour of Aleppo was announsed the general belief was that another heat would be necessary to settle the knotty point. Pitapat ran second for the same stake to Flyby- night last year. Owing to the delay which arose at the com- mencement it was impossible to maintain the usual punctuality observable at Ascot, but the lost time was so far made up that the racing was over within teu minutes or so of the appointed hour. The Cup betting during the afternoon was too insignifi- cant for notice, except as regards Skirmisher, who rose in favour the more it rained, his price at the close being 9 to 2 ( takers). Leaving our readers to imagine the difficulties encountered by the fair sex in getting away from the course under such un- pleasant circumstances, which caused the exhibition of many a charming leg aad foot, we must now proceed to detail the racing u the order iu which it came off, commencing with The ' TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 50 added; two year olds 4st 41b, three 7st 41b. four 8st 7lb, five 9st, six and aged 9st 31b; the winner to be sold for 600 sovs, unless exemption from being sold is claimed at the time of entrance, and horses for which this claim is made 9lb extra; the New Mile ; 18 subs.

In taking his preparatory cauter, Badsworth broke away, ran once round the two- mile course, and half way round a second time before he was stopped. This caused a considerable delay, which was subsequently increased to half an hour, owing to the fractiousuess of Rip Van Winkle and Beechnut, who caused a couple of false starts, in one of which Sprightliness and Misty Morn ran to the distance, and Rosa Bouheur to the half- mile post. Wheu the flag fell Slatteru went to the front, and with Sprightliness, The Admiralty, Subtiiity, Misty Morn, Polly Johnson, Plumstone, Rosa Bonheur, and The Early Bird laid up on the right hand side of the course— York aud Haymaker running level with them on the left— cut out the work for nearly half a mile, when she beat a retreat, aud the lead was taken by Sprightliness, who held it almost to the foot of the hill. The Early Bird, who was indulged with a wide berth next the rails, then showed in advance, had the race in hand at the Stand, and won in a canter by three lengths, the favourite beat- ing Rosa Bonheur in thelast stride by a short head for the claim, of ' which, however, his owner did not take advantage. Hay- maker was fourth about two lengths from the other two, Spright- linesss fifth close up with Lord Ribblesdale's colt, and at an interval of three or four lengths from them were Plumstone sixth, Polly Johnson seventh, and Subtiiity eighth; the last lot being Badsworth, the Maid colt, Slattern, and Rip \ an Winkle.

They ran in two divisions up the course aud past the Stand, when they began to settle in their places, and the running was taken up by Alice Weutworth. followed to the top turn by Paula Monti and afterwards by Triton, Paula going on third, Tame Deer fourth, with Wink- field and Redemption in attendance; the next lot com- prised Vulcan, Ruth, and Hobgoblin, and in the rear lay Artil- lery and Claude Lorraine, the latter being half a dozen lengths oehind everything and at least a hundred yards from the lead- ing horses. With the exception of Triton heading Lord Anglesey's mare for a few strides at the bottom of the hill, and Paula Monti and Tame Deer closing up with the leading pair along the Swinley Bottom, there was no material alteration until entering the old course, when Alice Wentworth drew a couple of lengths in front; but this advantage she retained for a short distance only, when Triton again closed with her. Escott's two were in trouble before reaching the Brick Kilns, at which point Redemption quitted the ruck, went up inside of Triton and Alice Wentworth, ran with them to the turn, and then beaded them. When fairly round it, the favourite aud Triton were passed by Ruth aud Wiukfleld, who went on in attendance upon Redemption almost to the Stand, where the old horse was beaten. The race then appeared to be left to Redemption and Ruth, wheu a new opponent appeared upon the scene iu Claude Lorraine, who, haviug laid right away until round the last turn, came with a tremendous rush on the outside, passed the beaten horses one by one, caught Redemption in the last fifty yards, and tlie latter shutting up the instant she was collared, Claude Lorraine won by a length and a half, Redemption beating Ruth for second money by half a length. The latter finished a length in advance of Alice Weutworth, who re- passed Winkfield at the Staud, and clear of her were Vulcan aad Winkfield, succeeded at wide iutervals by Emigrant and Tame Deer. The last lot comprised Paula Monti, Artillery, and Hobgoblin, all of whom walked in. Ruu iu 4min 39sec.

When fairly round it Alfred Day took a pull, which let up Victoria, and in a few strides afterwards they were joined on the outside by Pitapat, who came again and passed Polmoodie in the straight. Inside the distance the favourite and Pitapat closed with Aleppo, whose jockey " suffered" a slight lead until withiu fifty yards of home, when he called upon him for a finish- ing effort, aud disposing of Victoria opposite the Royal Stand, caught Pitapat iu the last two strides, and won a splendid race by a short head, Polmoodie, and Katherine Logie, who headed Victoria close upon the post, finishing close together two lengths from the other two. Peter Flat, who knocked a man down oppo- site the Staud, was beaten some distance. Run in 3min 52sec. WEDNESDAY.— The showery state of the morning had a visible effect upon the attendance at the Stand compared with yesterday, although for an " off- day" there was quite as good a show of company as could be expected under such unfavour. able circumstances. The Royal Stand was occupied by His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and the visitors at the Castle, and the private stand of the Master of the Buckhounds and the new subscription one adjoining were also patronised by large parties of fashionables — the fair sex, of course, being less numerously represented than on the opening day. The rain which fell during the night and morning so far benefitted the course that the " going" to- day was all that could be desired, and but for two or three heavy showers which fell at intervals during the racing the afternoon's sport would have been most enjoyable. Just before the second race a thunder storm, which fortunately avoided the Heatli, passed over Windsor Forest, and the flashing of the lightning amidst tbe luxuriant foliage had an inexpressibly grand effect. The card embraced half a dozen items, and with one excep- tion the non favourites were successful in every race, so that the Ring had again a good time of it. For the Coronation Stakes, with which the proceedings commenced, only Beechnut and ] Ayaeanora started, and 3 to 1 and 5 to 2 was betted on the | Danebury mare, who removed all doubts as to lier jadiness by the manner in which she succumbed to Beechnut when called i upon at the finish. The antagonism of Gemma di Vergy and Zaidee in the Windsor Castle Stakes had been looked forward to with considerable interest, but when it transpired that " Jemmy" would be reserved for the Cup, and that both Sydney and Fright had penalties to carry, Zaidee's success was pronounced a " foregone conclusion," and 6 to 4 was betted on her. The odds, however, were again floored,— the maro was out of the race at the turn, and Sydney scored a second victory. The " crack" race of the day stood next on the card, and in due course the large number of five and twenty starters appeared upon the telegraph. The betting had previously been confined almost entirely to Cotswold and Good Friday, both of whom were great " pots," the former having the decided call until near the close, when John Scott's horse deprived him of the pride of place. Next to the two favourites Rosa Bonheur was in most demand, the public appearing to fancy her very strongly after her run- ning in the Trial Stakes yesterday; although Lord Londes- borough's investments upon Flacrow, we understand, exceeded those upou the mare. Mauganese was also a " pot," whilst to the support shown to Loyola, who advanced to 100 to 8, added to Cotswold's common looks, may be attributed the latter's retrogression at the last moment. Sydney's running, added toFordham's popularity, found many suppporters for Turbit, whilst The Early Bird's good behaviour yesterday caused many slever judges to fancy him with all the weight to- day. The horses did not reach the post until long after the appointed time, but Mr Edward Hibburd succeeded in getting them off the " first time of asking " in admirable style. The race calls for little description Deyond that given below. It was run at a " cracking " pace from end to end, and resulted in the easy victory of Rosa Bouheur, whose immediate followers comprised Cotswold, Humbug, aud The Early Bird, the two stone and a half difference in the weights at which The Bird met Rosa to- day being quite sufficient to ac- count for the latter " turning the tables" upon her conqueror of Tuesday. Though he did not quite do the trick a la Ephesus and Chalice, Isaac Day's stable maintained the prestige which attaches to it in connection with this race by bting " there or thereabouts" with Cotswold, in whom ever since he ran for the Derby last year the public have all aloug maintained there was a " good thing." Good Friday was another " bottled up" one, whose temper broke out in the race, and prevented what his stable confidently anticipated beforehand— a repetition of their last year's triumph. The winner has turned out a fortunate investment for Lord Londesborough, who was warmly con gratulated upou his success; and iu the present state of the Turf it cauuot but be gratifying that such a trophy should fall to the lot of a noblemau who spares no expense in improving his stud. The " Royal Hunt Cup," from the manufactory of Messrs Hunt and Roskill, is a candelabrum, standing about t wo feet aud a half high, of pure and simple design, having branchesfor six lights, which cau be removed, and the stem andupper part made available for flowers, & c. The stem rises from a rocky base, ou which are represented in high relief, on one side, two fallow deer and a re- cumbent doe— *' So when two vig'rous stags, each of his kerd The haughty lord, through all the forest feared, Resolved to try whieh must in combat yield, In all their might advance across the field; They nod their lofty heads, and from afar, Flourish their horn3, preluding to the war." This " Cup" is very appropriate, and is from the design of Mr Thomas Brown, a yaung artist, whose name will soon be familiar with the public. Another large field went to the post for the £ 50 Plate, and the closeness of the first half- dozen at the finish afforded a splendid specimen of liandicapping— Amelia, trained ou tho spot and not backed for a shilling, pulling through by the shortest of heads only. Owing to the first and secoud running so very wide— Amelia on the further side of the course and Miss Waters close under the chair— the judge could not take his eyes off of them to place a third. Lady Albert won ihe Selling Stakes which followed, and was claimed by the owner of Hardwick for £ 150. The sports terminated with an interesting race for the Fernhill Stakes, for which Sir Coliu was almost as good a fa- vourite as Polly Peachum. The former could never get on his legs, aud a pretty set- to between the two young ones resulted iu the success of Polly Peachum over Sister to Ellington by a head. The Cup betting fluctuated considerably during the after- noon, but at the close the prices were as nearly as possible as follows:— 9 to 2 agst Skirmisher ( tk and off), 5 to 1 agst Gemma di Vergy ( tk freely), 8 to 1 agst Wardermarske ( tk), 10 to 1 agst Adamas ( tk), 10 to 1 agst Polestar ( tk freely), 12 to 1 agst Rogerthorpe ( tk and off), 20 to 1 agst Leamington ( tk 25 to; i), and 25 to 1 agst Fisherman ( off). The horses in most force were Skirmisher, Gemma di Vergy, and Wardermarske; 1,000 to 200 was taken twice about " Jemmy," aud at one time 7 to 1 was taken about Wardermarske. Adamas was reported to have done no work since his arrival, and as considerable doubt appeared to exist respecting his starting tho horse. was not in such good odour as he otherwise would have beeu. 5 to 2 was offered currently on the field for the St Leger, 20 to 1 taken about Clydesdale, and 3,000 to 90 and 2,500 to 100 about Sermon ( in John Osborne's stable) for the Derby.

Alter a slight failure, caused by one or two horses breaking away, a capital start was effected. Good Friday, Turbit, aud Manganese jumped oil'in advance when the flag fell, aud ran together to the T. Y. C. post, after passing which Manganese took a clear lead, followed by Humbug, Turbit, Artillery, Kilbride, Fiacrow, and Good Friday in a body on the far side, whilst Rosa Bonheur " ld Cotsweld headed the left hand division, Strawberry being iied off early. There was no material change iu these positions itil reaching the foot of the hill, wheu Artillery beat a retreat, d The Early Bird, who stood still when the flag fell, and in usequeuce lost several lengths, took his place among the fore- • st horses. The next to give way were Good Friday, Turbit, i Flacrow, and about half way up the distance Manganese s in trouble. On her retirement, Humbug was left in front, t opposite the Staud he was passed by Rosa Bonheur aud tswold, the former going on with the lead, and winning easily two lengths. Cotswold beat Humbug by a length and a half, 1 the latter had au advantage of a length over Early Bird, ngauese being fifth, Flacrow sixth, Turbit seventh, and St es eighth, about a length separating each.

THURSDAY.— The fallhig off on Tuesday was more than doubly compensated for by the monster assemblage of rank, beauty, and fashion which was congregated in the various stands and upon the course to greet Her Majesty to- day. The morning was cloudy, but tha wind was too high to cause any fear of a repetition of the drenching showers of the two previous days!; and this, combined with a strong faith iu the good fortune of Her Majesty in her excursions, caused such a rush to both the Paddington aud Waterloo termini as was certainly never before witnessed at either station. The platforms were as crowded with elegantly attired ladies as the Botanical Gardens on a fete day, and looked almost as gay. Thanks to the arrange- ments of the respective otlicials, train after train was despatched with magical celerity. The South Western Company, of course, reaped the full benefit of their new branch on to the course, and i we observed that ucany of the fair occupants of the aristocratic stands availed themselves of that easy means of reaching their destination without the risk of the dirt, confusion, and dust ( for dust there was, notwithstanding the rain) to which they must have been otherwise subjected. The trains on both lines kept excellent time, and left no room for complaint. The ap- pearance of the course just previous to the arrival of the Royal cortbge has been repeatedly described iu our columns, but the brilliancy of the show on Thursday far excelled anything of the kind we have ever endeavoured to pourtray. The Grand Stand and the Stewards' and Master of the Buckhounds Stands were one mass of dazzling colours, which appeared to be reflected on the opposite side of the course, for as far as the turns on either side it presented a similar attractive spectacle. Every seat OH the lawn of the Grand Stand, and every position within and on the top of the building whence a glimpse of the course could be obtained, had its occupants. Iu addition to this galaxy of fashion, there was an extraordinary crowd of ordinary spectators, aud the muster of business men almost reminded us of a Derby day. As one o'clock approached the masses were gradually removed from the course, and all arranged themselves in the most favourable position for getting a glimpse of the Royai procession, which did not " put in appearance" on the New Mile uutil soma time afterwards. At length the scarlet coats of the outriders and yeomen prickers were seen approaching at a slow pace, headed by the Earl of Besborough, Mr Davis, the Queen's Huntsman, andthe whippers- in, and close behind them were the Royal party in eleven carriages. In the first carriage were Her Majesty the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, and His Royal Highness Priuce Frederick William of Prussia, who reached England somewhat unexpectedly the previous even- ing. In the second carriage were Her Royal- Highness the Princess Alice, Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cambridge, His Royal Highness Priuce Albert, and His Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of Saxe Meiuiagen. In the third carriage were Her Royal Highness the Princess Helena, the Countess Persigny, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. In the fourth carriage were the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of Athol, His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, and the French Ambassador. In the fifth carriage were the Countess Bernstorff, Viscountess Palmerston, His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and the Duke of Wellington. In the sixth carriage were tho Hon Caroline Cavendish, the Hon Flora Macdouald, His Serene Highness Prince Leiningen, and Earl Granville. In the seventh carriage were the Prussian Minister, the Earl of Clarendon, and the Marquis of Abercorn. In the eighth carriage were tlie Countess of Bessborough, Lady Geral- dine Somerset, Earl Cowley, and M Fould. Iu the ninth car- riage were Lord Camoys, Lord George Lennox, Baron de Moltke ( in waiting on Prince Frederick William), and the gentlemen in waiting on the Hereditary Priuce of Meiningen. In the tenth carriage were Colonel the Hon C. B. Phipps, Major- General the Hon C. Grey, aud Colonel Tyrwhitt. In the eleventh carriage were Major- General Berkely Drummond, Maj w- General Wylde, and Major Home Purves. The equerries iu waiting, Major- General Bouverie and Colonel F. H. Seymour, were in attend- ance on the Queen and the Prince, on horseback. Prince Albert, Prince Frederick William of Prussia, the Prince of Leinin- gen, and the gentlemen of the Royal household, appeared in the Windsor uniform. Her Majesty and all the ladies of the party were in deep mourning for Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester. The Queen looked remarkably well, and acknowledged in her usual gracious manner the salutations of the assembled throng, which, however, on the arrival of the royal party were most painfully lukewarm. On Her Majesty's departure, however, the enthusiasm of her subjects appeared to have become suddenly raised to its usual height, and the checring and waving of handkerchiefs was as vigorous as ever. Accompanying the procession on its way to the course was Lord Palmerston, who rode on horseback from the Castle in attendance upon Her Majesty. The Premier, who looked re- markably well, and sat his horse like a youngster, was warmly received by all who recognised him. On entering the Staud, Her Majesty, as usual, appeared and bowed her acknow- ledgments to the anxious multitude, and by whom she was most respectfully welcomed. Previous to the race for the Cup the Royal party retired for luncheon, and it seemed to us that all the occupants of the Grand Staud were at once seized with a desire to follow her example, for every seat in every refreshment room was quickly filled, and the rooms became crammed with half- famished visitors waiting their turn to partake of the good things furnished by Mr Careless, of Epsom. The sandwich bar was an extraordinary sight, the rush reminding us of nothing but a JeunyLind night at the opera. Whence the apparently un- limited supply was obtained we cannot imagine, but the demand, although incessant, did not, until a very late hour, exceed the supply. Her Majesty and party remained uutil after the race for the Visitors' Plate, and then took their departure in the order in which they arrived. Many of the visitors followed their example, and were conveyed to town with the same despatch and ease with which they had made the journey to the Heath. From four o'clock until nearly eight the Ascot Station presented a most animated scene ; but, thanks to the excellent management of Mr Scott ( the general traffic super- intendent), Mr Godson, and Mr Garrard ( chairman of the Staines and Wokingham line), there was scarcely any con- fusion, and it is satisfactory to state not a single accident occurred, although upwards of two hundred carriages were despatched during that interval. Strengthened by the addition of a new race— a £ 60 Plate— the " Cup day" could boast of the best and most attraciive card of the meeting. The opening race, as on the two previous days, was set for half- past oue o'clock, but owing to the non- arrival of the Royal cortege it was nearly two before the proceedings com- menced with a •' walk over" by Blink Bonny for the 50 sov Sweep- stakes which stood first on the card. A little interest was momentarily created by the hoisting of Bird in the Hand's num- ber as a starter, but it was speedily takeu down again, and the winner of the Derby and Oaks was permitted to cauter over, solus. Blink bonny was subsequently led into the inclosure in front of the Queen's Stand by Mr I'Anson, to afford the Royal party au opportunity of criticising the Turf " wonder" of the nineteenth century, and, judging from tlie interest with which she was scrutinized Her Majesty must have beeu fully acquainted with the mare's great reputation. No time was lost in tele- graphing the starters for the next race, a half- mile Handicap, for which a great " pot" on Sister to Jesuit boiled over, the issue being confined to the two two year olds, Polly Johnson and Maggie Lauder, the latter of whom wou, after a spleudid struggle, by a head. Tue Cup, which stood next in order, set for three o'clock, now embraced everybody's attention, and considerable interest was manifested on all sides to learn the starters. Nineteen were " coloured" ou the card, aud of these a dozen comprised the field, Polestar's number being added some time after the others, in consequence of Mr Snewing reserving uutil the last moment the selection of his jockey from amongst those he bad engaged. When the numbers went up without hers, no little consterna- tion was created amongst her backers iu the Stand, where throughout the morning it had been erroneously rumoured that Gemma di Vergy was scratched! but when it subse- quently transpired that Rogers was to be " up," the mare increased iu favour with the public. The absentees from amongst those who had figured more or less prominently in the betting were Adamas, Zaidde, Fisherman, aud Sc Giles, upon the latter of whom a great many investments took place during the forenoon at 25 and 20 to 1. Adamas's starting had been doubtful for some days, in consequence of having been stopped in his work siuce the Derby. For " soratchings" on the Cup correspondents are referred elsewhere. The crowded state of the inclosure in the neighbourhood of the Ring cot only rendered locomotion extremely difficult, but from the disjointed system of betting uow- a- days, al- most prevented us from arriving at the real state of the market; and confusion is daily becoming " worse confounded," especially on great occasions like the present. Skirmisher main- tained his position with remarkable firmness, though without much outlay, and unlike Gemma di Vergy, who went back to 7 to 1, was little affected by the advance of Wardermarske and Rogertliorpe, both whom were in immense force. Polestar, likewise, was in strong demand, and was almost as good a fa- vourite as " Jemmy " at the close. None of the others were particularly fancied by the public, although Saunterer's owner was as enthusiastic as at Epsom respecting his horse's success. The task of clearing the course was almost as. difficult as before the Derby, but thanks to the admirable arrangements of Super- intendents Hughes and Walker this " little matter" was accom- plished in the most efficient manner by the body of police under their orders; although we may add, en passant, that the " silent system," especially at a meeting patronised so numerously by the fair sex as Ascot, i » much preferable to the shouting adopted by the men ou this occasion. The Royal inclosure was as usual kept clear for the CupMiorses, and the first to show therein was Chevalier d'Industrie. Then came Polestar, Gemma di Vergy, and Pretty . Boy, followed by the remainder in due course, the lot presenting ; one of the best fields that has been seen for the Cup race for many years past. Each appeared to be in the most blooming condition; and we envy not but rather pity the feelings of the man who could look on such a scene without entertaining the highest admiration for the noble pastime to which the country is indebted for such splendid specimens of the equine race. It is a memorable exclamation of a well- known statesman, " Thank God, we've a House of Lords!"— it is our pride and glory to boast of the nationality of the British Turf! Sufficient opportunity having been allowed for scrutinising the respective competitors, they proceded down the course as far as the road, and at a given signal, on the return of the Royal party from' lunclteon, took their preparatory canters. These over, aud having madeanother detour of the Royal inclosure, they proceeded to the start- ing post. On the way thither, Winkfield bolted towards the gate through which he is iu the habit of returning home every morning after exercise, and nearly knocked Skir- misher over. Bartholomew, faucying that the horse was going to jump the rails, pulled him round so sharp that his right stirrup leather broke, and, losing his balance, fell off. Amongst those who witnessed the occurrence, the greatest anxiety was felt for poor Ben, as it happened to be only his second mount in public since his frightful accident last year at Goodwood. Though he fell on his head, and suffered a little pain at the time, we rejoice to state that he was not sufficiently hurt as to beunable to ride in the race, and after the necessary delay in repairing the damage, the signal was given at precisely 37 minutes after three o'clock. The race, which was run at a strong pace throughout, may be described in a few words. Chevalier d'Industrie, who was started to serve Rogerthorpe, cut out the work at his best pace, and held a commanding lead until within three quarters of a mile of home, when his followers began to close with him. At the last turn Skirmisher, who lay in a good place throughout, and was equally benefited by a strong run race, caught the Chevalier, and depriving him of the lead at the distance, won in gallant style by a length and a half, Gemma di Vergy, who waited to the last, securing the " second honours" and the £ 50 attached thereto by a head, after a splendid st ruggle with Saunterer, which alone recompensed the spectators for the ease with which the favourite won. The success of the " spots" was hailed with enthusiastic cheering; and ou the return of the winner to the Royal inclosure for the special inspection of Her Majesty and the Court, Skirmisher was received with the " ovation" usually awarded to the heroes of " grand days." Lord Zetland was overwhelmed with congratulations, as was the Hon Captain Saville, the real owner of Skirmisher, the horse having been left to that gentleman by the late Lord Scarborough, wh ® bred him. After the easy manner in which Skirmisher won to- day, his running iu the Derby appears most inexplicable, for though the horse is known to be better at long than short distances it is impossible to reconcile the two performances. Gemma di Vergy ran, as he invariably does, a good horse; whilst Saunterer, after the figure he cut in the Derby, surprised every- body ( exceptperhaps his owner and immediate party, who stuck to him with unflinching confidence) by his performance on this occasion. Polestar proved herself the superior mare we have always considered her, by beating all the old ones, includiug Rogerthorpe, upon whom the Danebury stable was uncommonly " sweet." The Chevalier finished much more respectably than " pilots" generally do, and it is questionable how far Skirmish- er's chance might have been jeopardised, if the horse had not been sacrificed to assist another in the race. Wardermarske ran forward for about the Derby distance, but is too small, clever though he be, for such a course as the one over which he was asked to perform to- day. The race was a good one for the " gentlemen," nor did the Ring, we suspect, take much harm by it, owing to the money got out of other horses; whilst, on the remaining races, they must have " thrown in" handsomely. The " Ascot Cup," like the " Queen's Vase," is from the well- known establishment of Messrs Garrard, iu the Haymarket, aud is of most exquisite design. It is a vase of Oriental character, designed by Mr Percy, whose labours on this occasion give promise of increasing reputation. The field for the New Stakes mustered fourteen two year olds, several of which were rather strongly fancied, particu- larly Vandyke and Lord of Lorn, both of which were great " pots." Neither came off, however, though both horses ran forward enough to be placed by the judge, who had no diffi- culty in awarding the first and second position to Sedbury and Veuetia, the latter not being mentioned in the Ring, whilst the winner— the first that has ever proved so with a penalty— was supported by his owner for a small sum only. It was rather au unexpected slice ol luck for the Fiudon stable to carry off both the great two year olds races of the meeting, and we trust his successes at this meeting may prove a sufficient " sweetener" to cause Mr Howard to forego his previous intention of breaking up his racing establishment. The race, we regret to state, was attended by an accident to Tocher, who fell at the road, aud rolled twice over Tyrrel, whereby he was very seriously injured. Both tho Visitors' and £ 60 Plates fell to the lot of Captain Christie, Lawn, wonderful to relate, winring the former, wherein Tricolor ( who has proved an unlucky animal to her noble owner) extinguished what appeared to be a most favourable chance by bolting twice in tke race; and Kestrel the latter, the proceedings terminating ( nearly an hour behind time) as they commenced, with a walk over by Anton for the St James's Palace Stakes. Amidst the confusion of a " Cup Day" there is little oppor- tunity for betting ou future events, consequently we have no quotations either upon the St Leger or Derby, even after Sed- bury's great coup in the New Stakes. We may, therefore, pro ceed, without further preface, with details of the racing.

TT d'Industrie went to the front the instant the flag fell, and making play at his best pace was at least a dozen lengths in advance at the Stand, in passing which he was followed by Sauuterer ( whose jockey lost his cap directly after starting), Pretty Boy, and Skirmisher; Tasmania, and Wardermarske succeeding them, and Polestar, Warlock, aud Gemma di Vergy bringing up the rear. After rounding the top turn the Chevalier increased his lead to fully a hundred yards, and Pretty Boy gradually dropping astern Polestar emerged from the ruck aud rau iuto the third place, Skirmisher going on fourth, and Wardermarske fifth down the Swinley hill, when the latter began to give way at every stride, and in the bottom was passed by Winkfield and Rothcrthorpe, who went on fifth and sixth, Warlock now being two or three lengths behind everything. At the turn into the old course Poiestar joined Sauncerer aud they ran side by side with Skirmisher ( pulling hard) at their heels until halfway between the Brick Kilns and the last turn, where the mare dropped back, leaving Sauuterer iu his original positisn, and when fairly round it, Polestar was passed by Skirmisher The Chevalier, whose lead began to diminish at every stride after passing the Brick Kilns, remained iu front almost to the distance, where he was passed by Skirmisher and Saunterer, the former of whom immediately afterwards showed in advance and main- taining the lead to the end won in gallant style by a length and a half, Gemma di Vergy, who passed Rogerthorpe in the straight, and Polestar and the Chevalier opposite the Stand, securing the second mouey after a splendid struggle with Saunterer by a head, Polestar finishing two lengths from them. At an interval of four or five lengths, Rogerthorpe was fifth aud the Chevalier sixth ; Tasmania headed the next lot, and the two last were Wardermarske and Leamington. Ruu iu 4min 29sec.

Half way up the hill, Falstalf, who had been lying off, joined Lawn, aud passing Redemption at the upper end of the enclosure these two ran a good race home, which resulted in Lawn's favour by three quarters of a length, Redemption finishing a bad third; the others beaten off.

Day walked over FRIDAY— Glorious weather, aud a better card than is usually seen here ou the last day, assisted in briuging the meeting to a most successful termination, the excellent racing appearing to be thoroughly enjoyed by the company, which though reduced considerably in its ranks numbered many of the distinguished visitors who honoured the Heath with their presence on the pre- vious days. Neither time nor space will permit us to dwell at any length upon the racing, further thau to remark that the new Railway Handicap, which brought out a large field of eighteen and resulted in the overthrow of a great " pot" ou Aleppo, was carried off with great ease by Fright, who came cut an hour afterwards aud accomplished a second victory by defeat- ing Sir Colin, Mysterious Jack, and Turbit for the Queen's Plato the betting upon whieh about each of the three horses was un" commonly spirited. Capt Christie's star was again in the ascend" ant in the First Class of the Wokingham, wherein he rau first and third with Nougat and Kestrel; and the Second Class turned out oue of the best things of the week for Ear- drop, who managed to spoil what would otherwise have been a splendid specimen of handicapping. In this department however, the gallaut Admiral who kindly undertook the arduous and unenviable task, distinguished himself with his usual efficiency. The meetiug terminated with a dead heat for the Borough Member's Plate between Gleu Lee and Percy, whose owners subsequently divided. Of the general conduct of tho meeting we can speak iu the most satisfactory terms, and to Mr Edward Hibburd especial praise is dne for the indefatigable zeal which he exhibited, not only in the discharge of his arduous duties as Clerk of the Course, but likewise for the very able manner in which he started the horses, in the absence of his brother, who, we regret to add, continues in a very sickly stale. We have already had occasion to bear satisfactory testimony to the efficiency of the police arrangements on the Cup day, and those remarks may apply to their exertious through- out the meeting. The corps on duty comprised the " A reserves," under Superintendents Walker and Hughes, and In- spectors Grant, Bradstock, and Butt. Inspectors Thornton aud Whicher, of the Detectives, and a large body of men in plain clothes, were also oil duty at the Stands and on the course, and by their vigilance succeeded in capturing a considerable number of s well- mobsmen, who were at once taken before a magistrate, upon whom Mr Burnaby of Bow- street was in attendance, and dealt with summarily. The gross receipts at the Grand Stand were somewhat above an average, the " takings" ou Tuesday being £ 1,200 odd, and on the Cup day £ 2,467. We were glad to hear, before leaving the Heath, that Tyrrell, who met witli an accident in the New Stakes the day before, was in a fair way to recovery.

Aleppo cut out the work at a good pace, followed by Shirah, Tournament, Kiug of Scotland, and Vulcan, Nereus sepa- rating them from the ruck, at the head of which lay Rotterdam, Fright, Rhisus, Lawn and Turbit; the last two being Signal and Paula Monti. They ran thus almost to the Brick Kilns, where Tournament disappeared from the front, and after crossing the road, Shirah aud Vulcan also beat a retreat. On their retire- ment, Rhisus and Rotterdam took their places next the favou- rite, and Lawn, Turbit, aud Fright closing up with King of Scotland and Nereus this lot followed the foremost horses round the turn, where Nereus, Rotterdam, and Rhisus were disposed of. Aleppo maintained the lead to the distance aud then gave way to Turbit, Fright, and Lawn, who had the finish to them- selves, the issue, never doubtful however, being in favour of Fright fey a length, Lawn beating Lord Exuter's horse by a head. About a length and a half from the latter pair were King of Scot- land, Vulcan and Dupe nearly abreast, and close up with them Rhisus, Orianda, and Alepp?. The last lot comprised Tourna- ment, Paula Monti, Shirah, Signal, aud Nereus. Run ia min 50sec.

After crossing the road they got iuto close order, and, at the lower turn, Sir Colin was caught aud passed by the other three, Turbit leading. Inside the dis- tance Fright joined Lord Exeter's horse, had him safe iu a few strides, and won easily by a length, Mysterious Jack, who passed Turbit opposite the ltoyal Stand, beating him for second place by half a length: Sir Coliu, who pulled up very leg- weary, was beaten a long way.

Very few meetings progress in the 3ame ratio as Beverley, and siuce their re- establishment, a dozen years ago, are making rapid strides, under Mr Johnson's management. The amount of added money now reaches 300 sovs, which for a small place like Beverley is very liberal, and reflects no little credit upon the committee. On the preseut occasion the meeting must have suffered from clashing with Ascot, which it does about every fourth year. The list was this year strengthened by the addition of the Londesborough Produce Stakes, aud the Grimston Cup has displaced the Londesborough Cup, but the new conditions are not much admired. The committee have often mooted the question of building a new stand, which is very much required, as the present one i3 far too small, although increased accommo- dation was this year afforded by a range of woode>. steps in front. The race fund is sufficiently large for a new stand to be built at ouce. Two or three active men in the town are about to put their shoulders to the wheel, aud will no doubt soou obtain the greatest portion of the amount required in £ 20 shares. The weather on the first day was very showery, which had the effect of keeping away many of the pleasure- seekers. The course was in capital order, and if the fields were not large the sport was pretty good. The principal races ou the first day were the Kingston Stakes, Beverley Cup, aud Bishop Burton Stakes. The Kingston Stakes was wou by Ambrosia, a smart little two year old from the Hambleton stable. The Bishop Burton produced a smart race between Long Range and Sermon ( a great pot), and although the latter, who ran very raw, was defeated, we think he will be heard of again during the present year, as he brought with him a high character from Johu Osborne's stable, and was backed previous to the race, at 40 to 1 for the Derby te win a large stake. Liverpool won the Beverley Cup very easily, and was selected with Long Range for their respective races, by " Observer," in our last. The other races to- day do not call for any remarks. A new stake was added for the second day in the shape of a handsome Gold Cup, worth about £ 70, which was presented by Mr Glover, one of the mem- bers for the borough. The cup only arrived ou the mdrning of the race; therefore no time was allowed to procure a good entry, several horses after running on Wednesday having taken their departure. The morniug of the second day was unfavour- able, but the afternoon turned out fine. The attendance was good, and the sport capital. The meeting was well conducted throughout.

SATURDAY, JUNE 6.— In concluding our notice of these stirring events, it only remains to be told that the racing to- day was equally remarkable for the capital competition that attended its predecessors, and most worthily commemorated the Art Treasures Exhibition, the holding of which at Manchester is hereafter to constitute so gratifying a chapter in the world's history. True the attendance was rather small, but with so many attractions, besides the grand one, it was but natural the honours of visitors and pleasure hunters generally should be divided, the magnificent weather, too, favouring amusements of every kind. We are glad to hear that representations are about to be made for the removal of the trees in the centre of the course which impede the view, and particularly annoy the business ma^. The committee pay so enormously dear for the use of the ground, to say nothing of the penny toll on foot pas- sengers, also going into the landlord's coffers, that surely no op- position will be offered to the removal of the nuisance. Sub- joined are full details of the sport, which calls for no further re- mark than to state that when the jockeys had weighed in, the chairman of the committee, with a few appropriate observations, presented to Challoner a gold- Blunted whip, and next handed to Withington a nicely- manufactured four- pound saddle, for having ridden the winner of the Nursery.

Cooke, 7 to 2 agst the Ellerdaie's dam filly, and 8 to 1 agst Spider ; the winner not mentioned. The immediate cause of half an hour s delay at starting was not discernible from the Stand, owing to the huge tree which intercepts a view from the latter point of proceedings at the T. Y. C. post. Subsequently the starter at- tributed it as much to those not over anxious to come to the scratch as to those more impatient for the journey. The lot were in anything but compact order, when at length the signal was given, the Ellerdale's dam filly being first off, but in a few strides the Pantasa colt took up the running, with the filly and Spider at his quarters, Hesperithusa and T. P. Cooke lying at their heels, the favourite and Madame Ristori three lengths from them, Prince of Denmark a long way in the rear. They ran thus to the turn, where T. P. Cooke and Jack Horner drew upon the leading horses, the former, on the retirement of the Pantasa colt and Spider, showing in advance at the distance; but Madame Ristori coming with a rush in the next twenty yards, deprived the leader of his advantage half- way up, and won cleverly by half a length; the third beaten as far from the second; bad fourth. Jack Horner close up with the latter, A PLATE of 40 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, fo* three year olds and upwards; the winner to be sold for 15J sovs, & c; one mile and a distance; 3 subs.

After Foxhunter had indulged in a long and rousing gallop, the flag fell to an excellent start, Silkmore, Six and Eightpence, and Jack Spring jumping off together, but the latter taking up the running when fairly in their strides, Jo- sephine became second as they rounded the bottom, where she was succeeded by Six and Eiglitpenee and the favourite. En- tering the straight. Jack Spring took a commanding lead, still followed by Josephine, Foxhunter, General Wiiliams, Six and Eightpeuce, aud Greencastle, clustering in her wake as they passed the Stand, Pantomime, Newton le Willows, and Silkmore composing tbe next triplet, Elastic John at a wide interval driving the lot before him. On reaching the back of the conrse, Josephine beat a retreat, went on to the T. Y. C. post, and then turning fractious, dashed at the rails, which she struck breast high, came down with the force of the collision, and rolled over little Johnson. At this point Jack Spring, too, disappeared from the front, aud General Williams took the command, his immediate followers to the last turn being Six and Eightpence and Newton le Willows, who came through his horses at the half- mile post; the rest, headed by Grceucastle, now presenting an awful tail. The issue thence was never in doubt, the fa- vourite coming on by himself aud winning in a canter by three lengths, and Newton le Willows passing Six and Eightpence at the distance deprived him of the " tenner" by the same. Greencastle finished a length from the third, Pantomime, Jack Spring, and Silkmore straggled in next, Elastic John seveii or eight lengths behind them, and still further from him Fox- hunter cantered in last. The rider of Josephine was taken up insensible and carried to the Stand, surgical aid was procured, and, we regret to say, the poor boy's collar bone was found to be fractured.

At length, by way of example, Fordham walked bis horse several yards into the rear, expecting the others to follow him, when the flag went down. Lord Nelson having an instant previously gone up to the front horses. Tho latter thus jumped off with the lead, followed by De Ginkel and Tom Liune to the distance, where the latter was beaten, and the favourite immediately closing with the forward pair, a splendid struggle resulted in favour of Mr Barber's horse ( whom the others never quite reached) by a neck, and a head only divided second and third. Tom Liune was an indifferent fourth, but the others finishing together close at his girths rendered it impossible to assign a fifth position. At the scale Fordham complained loudly of his disadvantage. .< The SCURRY STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for all ages ; three quarters of a mile ; 8 subs.

Half- way up the black- un was in trouble, and a fine race with the other pair ended in a dead heat; a length between second and third; mid- dling fourth. Subsequently the owners agreed to divide, and Cora Linne walked over. THE HAMPTON AND NEWTON MEETINGS, TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE. SIR: Deferring until next week my observations on the very successful meeting which has just terminated at Ascot, I must call the attention of your readers to the meetings appointed for the ensuing week, viz, Hampton aud Newton, which pro- mise, from their programmes, to give ample employment for the pencils of the professionals, as well as amusement for the sight- seeing part of the community. The Hampton meeting, although falling on the same two days as those of Newton, is fortunately not likely to be injured by it, the Southern stables being quite capable of furnishing a sufficient supply of racers to keep the meeting on its proper basis. Complaints, I am aware, have been made as to the shortcomings of the lessees of the course in reference to the additions to the various items on the card, aud it is to be hoped that taught by experience of the past, and with the example of Mr Topham and others before them, The Executive will come out, and render the races sufficiently attractive to insure the attendance of first- class horses. Eleven races constitute the programme, five being appropriated to Wendesday, and half a dozen to the " grand day." Up to the present time the entries have not been numerous, still there is no cause for despair, and every prospect of the Hurst furnishing its usual quantum of amusement. The Betting Stand Plate, at the head of the list, has but three acceptances; Fright the most formidable of them. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes had twenty- six animais weighted for it, and the " contents" amount to a dozen in num- ber, Fulbeck being the top weight, with 8st 12ib, and Neva the " feather" with 6st 21b. The former wants pace, and the latter was destitute of form last year, but is said to be good enough now to stand upon. After her the race would seem to rest be- tween Ruth and Alice Wentworth. The Claremont Stakes for two year olds have eleven no mi u a" tions, and Polly, who appeared to be herself again at Ascot' ought to be able to beat the whole of them. The Innkeepers and Hurst Plate close the night before running, and the other handicaps are not of sufficient interest to require allusion to them at present. The Newton Meeting, which has been revived by Mr Bake of Manchester, oc cupies Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, for which days the entrepreneur has provided a bill of fare of the most tempting description, and which has apparently been well appreciated by the owners of horses. The Golborne Park Stakes is the name of the Two Year Old Race, and nineteen subscribers have named for it. Believing that Intercidona's defeat at Manchester was a mistake, I shall be prepared to see her win now, and York is perhaps the next most dangerous. The Great Newton Handicap has forty- six nominations, and the result of my estimate of them is that Mr Parr will furnish the winner. The Makerfield, Garswood, and other handicaps contain nearly all the same names, consequently it would be premature to an- ticipate the issues, when penalties and other causes may upset my reckonings.— Yours, Ac, OBSERVER.

[ FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] The second day's racing was barely so good as usual, but the fine weather brought out such of the fashionables as still remain jU Paris. The course was very hard and trying to the tender footed, who will require some little rest before again appearing * n public. The first race was a hardly fought " heat race," falling to the lot of M Fasquel's Bletia, after a dead heat with Baron George. Valna performed in character with her last week's running, and by so doing afforded some excuse for the " peppering" administered to her on that occasion. The inquiry into the matter is deferred, and it will be as well, perhaps, that no more be heard of it, the simplest manner being to adopt the English rule for selling races {!), and to abolish " heats" from all respectable courses. Diamant, with an allowance of 6lb, beat Monsieur Henri easily enough, Fidelity only beaten a head for second place. The five two year olds who ran cut a very indifferent figure, and not to be wondered at, considering that they are required to carry at least a stone over weight for age. Brutus beat two moderate ones for the Prix de Satory, and Vert- Galaut won the handicap very cleverly, beating Count de Lagrange's two, Mademoiselle de Chantilly and Tliea, and five others. A Hurdle Race Match and a Handicap Hurdle Race wound up the meeting, and although the handicap was any- thing but a good specimen of the art it produced a good race between Eulogist and Cammas, won by the former, through the latter's jockey mistaking the winning post. SUNDAY, JUNE 7.— PRIX DU CONSEIL- GBNERAL of l, 500f added to a Sweepstakes of 50f; the second to save his stake weights for age ; the winner to be sold for 3,000f, with allow- ances if for less ; heats, 2,000 metres ( lm 2fur); 10 subs.

Saline | Rocket MESSRS PATTERSON AND SWANN'S SALE OF GREYHOUNDS. Through the attention of a correspondent we are enabled to give our readers a correct list of the prices which the sala realised, and have only to regret, in common with every one who knew these gentlemen, that their resolve has been carried into effect, as both were true sportsmen, who rarely betted above a sovereign. We are also enabled to state that the Earl of Home, sole commissioner for the Lady Montagu, who has recently inherited the Douglas and Bothwell estates, by tho decease of Lord James Douglas, has most graciously continued to the Biggar Coursing Club the hereditary patronage of the family. The title of Lord Douglas is now extinct, but it ia whispered that Lord Dunglas, the earl's eldest son, and, after his mother ( Lady Home), heir to the vast possessions of the Douglas family, is a keen sporting man. The only pang of regret at making these announcements is that Lord Home's first act on his accession to power was to dispense with the services of Mr White, who for thirty- one years has been head- gamekeeper. His son, James White, so well known as slipper to the Caledonian aud Biggar Clubs, also leaves the estate, and report says wishes to become a sheep farmer. Sir E. Colebrooke, M. P., continues his patronage to the Biggar Club, but in consequence of matters which have divided the Scottish coursing world during the last season, the programme will probably be somewhat altered in future. If the St Leger is thrown open, it will be under very stringent regulations, and it is not stating too much that Messrs Gordon, Lindsay, Ewing, and Borron, the newly- appointed committee of manage- ment, will be merciless towards those who may be detected doing what is not right and proper. While this announcement is made it is but fair to state the current belief that the owner of Albatross and Alluring is free from taiut, aud that he and Mr Patterson are on friendly terms. Messrs Patterson and Swann, it is understood, continue members of the Biggar Club, although they do not run dogs. Mr D. M'Kinlay, who for many years has been known to the public as treasurer to the club, has embraced the opportunity of change of management to tender his resignation, which is to be regretted, as he was uniformly attentive, and as he was independent in his circumstances, no offer of increase of emolument would tempt him to continue in office.

Cardinall, Esq; J. Goodson, Esq, Com- modore of the R. L. Y. C.; and Samuel Lane, Esq, gave to the business before them a very animated character, and an as- surance that the forthcoming regatta, now fixed for Tuesday, the 30th day of the present month, will be one of the most in- teresting iu the annals of this club. The meeting re- elected Officers for the ensuing year ; balloted for six gentlemen, whose names are added to the list of members ; ana made certain al- terations in two of the rules of the club. Captain M'Clintoch, R, N., who will shortly proceed to the northern regions in search of Sir John Franklin, Lieut Hobson, R. N., Mr A. W. Young, and Mr H. Gray, were elected honorary members. PEMBROKE DOCK ROYAL REGATTA. In our advertising columns of this week will be found a list of the prizes to be competed for by yachts at this approaching regatta, and we are confident that, from the inducements held out, a first rate day's sport may be anticipated. The steamers from Waterford and Cork will convey passengers to the scene of action at reduced prioes, and the South Wales Railway Directors intend to further thQjBffortsof the regatta committee by running excursion trains from Swansea and other places. S0YAL BOSTON YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club was held at the club house, White Hart Hotel, on Thursday week, and was well attended. It was determined that the regatta should take place on Monday, the 20th August. Several gentlemen were balloted for and elected members. The next meeting will be on Thursday, the 3d July. ' ' ROYAL KINGSTON- ON- THAMES REGATTA. At a meeting of the committee of this regatta, held at the Griffin Hotel, on Wednesday evening last, the presentation plate was selected fromahaudsome assortment of cups, tankards, < fec, furnished by Messrs Thomas and Sons, the silversmiths, of New Bond- street, and we have authority for stating that the various prizes considerably exceed in value those previously pre- sented at any amateur regatta on the river Thames. We have little doubt that the entries will be large, and the sport prove proporiionably attractive. ISLEWORTH REGATTA. A retrospective glance at the " good old times," in which ama- teur regattas were the order of the day, will remind the reader that the Isleworth regattas of ' 46, ' 48, ' 49, and ' 51 were con- sidered to have been amongst the best of the aquatic gatherings of those years, and it was only in consequence of the great falling- off of amateur entries in the last- named year that the committee discontinued them up to the present time. During the early part of the spring of this year, his Grace the Duke of Northum- berland having expressed his intention to give prizes to be con- tended for by the free watermen and apprentices of the district from Teddington to Kew inclusive, it was considered that an excellent opportunity was offered to revive the Isleworth regattas on au extensive scale, and to try the metal of the new race of amateurs forming the London Rowing and other clubs. The 8th of June was, after mature consideration, fixed upon as a day that would suit the convenience of all parties, and it was widely announced; we regret, however, to learn that the entries from the whole body of aquatic amateurs, whose convenience and ac- commodation have always been so Carefully provided for at Isle- worth, amounted only to the insignificant sum of £ 12. It was said that the fixture had been too early, but we think the Isle- worth committee deserve great credit for setting a good example. The Duke of Northumberland having given the munificent sum of £ 70 to be distributed in prizes, the committee were enabled to provide a very full day's sport, no less than seventeen races being placed upon the card, all of which were punctually rowed within half au hour of the time stated for the conclusion. Every pains had been taken to give eclat to the day's proceedings; strong interest was used te induce the Thames Navigation Committee to allow the city barge, Maria Wood, which is lying idle off the isla » d below Kew Bridge, to be moored off Syon Meadows for tho day, but the liberal dogs in the manger, who rule the roast, after keeping the committee iu suspense for several weeks, refused the request, aud also churlishly declined even the loan of the shallop for the ac commodation of the committee on the occasion. Under these circumstances, the best available means were employed, and the fine steamer Venus, Captain H. J. Styles, and Mr Searle s elegant and commodious vessel the Jury barge, were called into requisition, and a large horse punt, kindly lent by Samuel Kidd, Esq, was fitted as a station for one of the bands. A very convenient pleasure barge was also prepared for the use of the amateur rowers ; and the names of the different races, and the colours of the winners, were hoisted on a flag- staff. At a quarter before two o'clock, the bands of the 3d Middlesex Militia from Turnham Green, and the 4th Middlesex Militia from Hounslow, and of the lst Surrey Militia from Richmond, assembled in the square and played down to the Thames, when the 3d Middlesex were placed ou the river, the lst Surrey on the green sward close to Syon Pavilion, and the 4th Middlesex on a barge at the other end of the course, which was determined upon as follows:— The Watermen's Double Scullers' and the Apprentices' Matches to start off Syon Meadows, up, round a boat moored off St Margaret's, and win at Syon Pavilion; but when tho tide turns, to start at St Margaret's, down, round a boat moored off Syon Meadows, and win at the Pavilion. The amateur races were to start while the tide served from Syon Meadows, and up to St Margaret's, but the majority of them were rowed from St Margaret's down to the Tree Point. As had been arranged, the noble duke aud duchess arrived at the Pavi- lion precisely at four o'clock, but the unpropitious state of the weather caused some little delay in their coming forward, it being the wish of the subscribers to give them a hearty greeting, but the raiu clearing off shortly afterwards they appeared on the balcony, amidst the enthusiastic cheering of the vast assemblage, whose feelings of respect and attachment were by no means damped by the heavy showers. A salute of 19 guns was imme- diately fired, the bands played " Rule Britannia," and the cele- brated bells of Isleworth Church struck up a merry peal. Had the day been finer, the scene would have been exceedingly beau- tiful, but even under the adverse circumstances of wind and raiu the general effect was most gratifying. Mr John Berry and other resident large proprietors had dressed their vessels out in various colours, aud a range of flags in front of the Pavilion, which was surmounted by a handsome Union Jack, added greatly to the gaiety of the scene. The weather, after this time, agreeably improved, but the air became very cold as the evening advanced. The day's sport was opened by the Apprentices Match, but we propose to give the races according to their importance, commencing with GENTLEMEN SENIOR SCULLERS' PEIZE, a silver goblet, an- nounced on the card ts take place at 6: 60. Mr Sohlotel 1 Mr J. Ireland ( London Rowing Club) 0 Mr A. Thorne 0 A capital start, Schlotel taking a slight lead, followed by Ireland and Thome nearly level. Schlotel soon got a clear length ahead, Driver, the Wandsworth waterman, rowing in front of him, as it was supposed, to direct his eourse, which little bit of " coach- ing," however, nearly threw him out of the race, Driver fouling him off the Pavilion. Had Ireland, who was only a length astern at this moment, steered well, he would probably have won; but his defect in that respect enabled Schiotel to come in a length GENTLEMEN JUNIOE SCULLERS, for a silver goblet.

Messrs Risley ( stroke) and Sydenham ( bow), Messrs Baker ( stroke) and Home ( bow). It was a time race from Iffley to Oxford, the boats start- ing 240 feet between the posts.

The Secretary will attend at the club rooms on Monday, Wed- nesday, and Friday afternoons, from two to five p. m., to receive subscriptions, & c. AQUATICS AT ETON. On Friday, June 5th, a Lower Boat race was rowed at Eton, viz, the Britannia ( with Kinglake and Walpole) against the rest of the Lower Boats, whose stroke was Severne. At the start Severne took a slight lead, which he held to Upper Hope, the Britannia all the time sticking close behind him. At Upper Hope the latter had the inside turn, and, by a spurt, rowed ahead of their opponents. After some racing as far as Hester Shed, the Britannia went steadily ahead, and finally won by about four lengths. The crews were as under:— Britannia: Le Strange 1, Kekewich 2, Walpole 3, Kinglake 4, Turner 5, Ward 6, Lubbock ma 7, Hardy 8, Lubbock mi ( cox). The Boats: Wynne 1, Maxwell 2, Leny 3, Denison 4, Buller 5, Rowley 6, Somerville 7, Severne 8, St Quentin ( cox). Time 11 minutes. MR DURNFORD'S V MR JOYNE'S.— This race was rowed by the four oars of the respective houses on the 7th ult, aud being for " Cocks of College," caused considerable excitement amongst those engaged. The crew of Mr Joyne was the favourite, being the strongest, while that of Mr Durnford, was considered to have little or no chance. However, after a bad start, the latter began to draw ahead, and continued to gain on their antagonists, winning easily by Tolladay's rails. The crews were— MR DURNFORD'S.— 1. Smyth, 2. Patten, 3. Pinckney, 4. Hussey, Townsend ( cox). MR JOYNE'S.— l. Hiucks, 2. Harle, 3. Hankey ma, 4. Lubbock max, Smith ( cox). CLYDE MODEL YACHT CLUB. At the usual monthly meeting, held at the Globe Hotel on Wednesday evening, the 3d instant, at eight o'clock— Thomas Steven, Esq, in the chair— the following gentlemen were balloted for and admitted :— Alexander B. Stewart, Esq, Samuel Brown Esq., John Wallace, Esq. Wm. Miller, Esa, William Wallace, Esqj Alexander McOuat, Esq, George Parkins, Esq, all of Glasgow ; John Croall, Esq, Greenock; and J. Anderson, Esq., Largs. Con- siderable activity prevails amongst the members along the coast, several new craft having been launched, amongst which we may mention Mr Walker's Bella, 8 tons, Mr Dickie's Armada, 74 tons, and Mr Ure's Lily, .34 tons. Although the last named is only 34 tons, we expect yet to hear of her giving some of the larger ones a close run for it. She is every inch a racer, and reflects great credit upon her builders, Messrs Kelly and Morris. Mr Dickie' Armada is also a very fine model, and when we take into account the fact of her being built by a non- professional builder we think he deserves great credit for attempting such a thing. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The usual monthly meting of the Ranelagh Yacht Club was held last Wednesday evening, the 10th inst, at the club house, Swan Tavern, Battersea, when the Commodore presided. After the n ading of the minutes, & c, the balloting for new members took place, and the following gentlemen were declared to be duly elected :— Messrs F. Aley, W. Boggett, J. T. Harrington, H LenthaU, G. H. Morel, T. Morrison, W. Richards, S. J. Salter, aud Oapt West. The report of the last match was read to the meeting, aud ordered to be entered on the minutes. As it appeared to be tho general opinion that the smallness of the entry at the late match was on account of there being no pro- vision made for time for tonnage, or a classification of the boats, it was determined that in future the yachts should be divided into tWo classes, viz, not exceeding ten tons, and not exceeding six ter* s. The arrangements for the second match of the season were then agreed to, and are as follows:— Two prizes of the joint value of fifteen guineas will be given, to be sailed for by boat-: of th6 second class; no prize on this occasion being offered for the first class. The entries close at ten p. m., at the club house, on Wednesday, the 15th July; yachts which have not been measured under the new law to be at Battersea Bridge for that purpose ou Tuesday, the 21st July, at three p. m., and all yachts to be at their stations on the day of the match, 23d July, at two p. m. A steamboat will be engaged for the accommoda- tion cf members and their friends, and will be provided with music, refreshments, & c. It will start this time from Mr Greaves's, Lindsey- row, a little before two. work, a good chanoe was open for him. Brickwood, getting clear, finished a winner. GENTLEMEN'S PAIR- OARED OCHUGGED GIGS ( with coxswains), for silver oars and rudder. FIRST HEAT. Messrs W. T. Horton, A. C. Rogam, and C. Welsh ( cox) 1 Messrs Jackson, Sarle, and Dobree ( cox) 0 Messrs A. F. Tomlins, C. B. Wosdcock, and W. Wagstafl ( cox) 0 _ We discerned in Mr Rogam of this heat the amateur champion of the Thames, and Mr Horton, at the distance we were off, looked liked Mr Thompson; tha coxswain was unmistakeably the valuable hon sec of the Thames National Regatta. It was a fine race to the point, although the third pair's start was indif- ferent, the champion and his party taking the lead there, and winning as they pleased, Jackson having slipped his oar out. SECOND HEAT. Messrs H. C. Llovd, StViucent Jervis, andE. Marston ( cox).. 1 Messrs A. Arun, W. C. Way, and H, S. Topham ( cox) 0 Messrs W. H. Lowe, H. Freeman, and R. Taylor ( cox) 0 Mr Freeman looked very much like Mr Jackson. They went away together in a good race to the point, where Arun, Way, and S. Topham became so bored by Lowe, Freeman, and Taylor that they fouled. Arun and Way claimed it, and it was allowed; but while it occurred Lloyd's boat came up, and Aruu and party contenting themselves with claiming the foul, and omitting to keep the steam up, awoke soon after to the discovery that they had no place in the race. FINAL HEAT. Messrs Horton, Rogam, and Welsli ( cox) 1 Messrs Lloyd, Jervis, aud Marston ( cox) 0 The winners took the lead, were soon a clear length in advance, and won easily. _ GENTLEMEN AMATEUES OLD- FASHIONED GIGS ( with coxswain), for silver oars and rudder.

Jackson ( cox).... 0 Messrs Willis, Gore, and Horne were entered, but did not row. - If Mr Ditton's name be spelt backwards, the reader will be- come enlightened. It was an out- and- out pull at first between Walker aud party and the second pair. The former then shook their opponents off. . isi——, ,— The TRADESMEN of ISLEWORTH'S PAIR- OARED GIGS ( with cox- swains), for a purse. Messrs E. Wing, J. Hilton, and H. Hopkins ( cox) 1 Messrs W.

A good race was kept up to the finish, there being, however, a slight foul between the second and third boats. RACE BETWEEN THE WINNERS OF THE ABOYE. Barker and Powell 11 Turner and Widginton .... 0 Messum and Jackson 2 | Coxen and Hammerton 0 It was a good start ail together, but Hammerton lost his scull, The others were close to near the finish, when Barker just drew a slight lead, the second pair, who were said upon their return to have a trifling advantage, disqualifying themselves by rowing inside instead of outside the winning barge. ISLEWORTH APPRENTICES, for a Purse of Sovereigns. FIBST HEAT. W. Mason 11 A. Argent 0 G.

A Four- oare'd Scratch followed. , At the conclusion of the scratch match the various winners came to the committee's barge, and the treasurer, Mr Horatio G. Day, addressed the assemblage, stating that he was desired by his Grace the Duke of Northumberland to express his regret that he was prevented coming on board to give the prizes him- self to the fortunate winners, and that he was also requested to say that the whole of the arrangements had been most gratifying to both the duke and duchess. Mr Day then proceeded to give the money prizes to the watermen and apprentices, in the name of the duke, and then called upon the amateurs to receive their " silver trophies" from the hands of a group of ladies, consisting of Mrs Day, Mrs Farnell Watson, Miss Winstanley, the Missels Day aud Miss Beeching. The ceremony being completed, with suitable acknowledgments from the aquatic heroes, Mr Day called for three cheers for the Queen, which were given with ad- mirable effect; three for their noble patron, the Duke « f Northumberland, which made the welkin ring; three for th » amiable and accomplished duchess, responded to with equal' enthusiasm; aud three for their kind and liberal patroness of former years, the Dowager Duchess of Northumberland, who had shown her usual sympathy by giving the handsome sum of £ 20 to the expenses of the occasion. It is needless to say how cordially her grace's name was received. The bands then played a series of lively tunes through the village, and the whole affair terminated in a most pleasing and satisfactory manner. [ We have received several letters complaining of the too pre, valent custom of amateurs rowing under feigned names. We should gladly have published them, had their contents been couched in less objectionable terms.! Knight ( pink). Tha final heat will be at 6: 30 by the two first boats in the first and second hsat. Other amusements will wind up the sport. BARNES AND MORTLAKB AMATEUR REGATIA.— At a meeting lately held at Mr Willcox's, White Hart, Barnes, a committee was carefully selected to carry out tbe revival of this once fa- vourite regatta, and the day was fixed for Wednesday, July 22, just one fortnight after the Royal Thames National. Subscrip- tions are already coming in in an encouraging manner, and among others we are glad to find the support of the Thames Subscription Club to the amount of £ 5, so that there is every reason to hope for a pleasant little meeting, with plenty of sport. THAMES UNITY CLUB.— At the monthly meeting, on Tuesday last, the following crews were drawn to contest the next four- oared race, which is to take place on Monday, the 13th July, from Putney Bridge to Barnes Bridge, to start punctually at half- past five o'clock :— No. 1 ( Red): Messrs Ray, Hodges, Sullivan, Thorogood, and Ede ( cox). No. 2 ( Blue): Messrs Bates, C. Mining, Mills sen, Gough, and Young ( cox). No. 3 ( White): Messrs Blincko, Hazlewood, D. Mining, Dillon, and Fox sen ( cox-). A. HUDSON AND PARTNER of Lower Thames- street, City, will row E. Seaman and partner of the same place, pair- oared in out- riggers from Putney to Hammersmith, for silver cups and a bet of £ 5 or £ 10 ; or A. Hudson will row E. Seaman a scullers race for a cup value not less than £ 5, or the same sum in money the like distance. A match can be made at Mr Bacon's, Green Dragon, Billingsgate. SCULLERS RACE.— A match has been made between Alfred Harris and William Hunter, both of Bankside, to row from Putney to Mortlake for £ 25 a side; they are to meet at Mr Owen Morey's, Smiths' Arms, New Park- street, Southwark, on Mon- day evening, June 15th, between eight and ten o'clock, to draw articles and make good the first deposit. HUNT'S UNIVERSAL YACHT LIST.— This most useful, and, to the yatchtsman, almost indispensable little work, has at length made its appearance for the current year, and though rather late in its birth, the delay has enabled Mr Hunt to bring his corrections up to a late period, aud to give additional yachting and rowing fixtures. BOATS FOR SALB.— By an advertisment in another column it will be seen that some excellent boats, the property of a well- known amateur, are to be disposed of. Doubtless this opportu- nity will be embraced by those who are desirous of meeting with first- rate craft on reasonable terms, for we have of late had many applications where such might be procured. GEOKGE FRANCIS of Teddington will row John Snell of Hampton a scullers race from Thames Ditton to Teddington Lock, for £ 25 or £ 30 a side. The match to come off within six weeks. G. F. will be at the Anglers, Teddington, on Tuesday evening, at nine o'clock, ready to make a match. THOMAS CANNON cannot row H. White even, but will make a match to row from Charlton to the Thames Tunnel, receiving a trifling start, for £ 30 a side ( open for £ 50), and to row in two months. FINNIS AND WADE.— The deposit of £ 2 10s a side was duly made at Mr Andrew's, the Globe, Wapping. The next deposit is to be made on Thursday, the 18th, Wade staking £ 5 to Fin- nis's £ 2 10, at W. S. limner's, Stone- stairs. R. MILLER of Lambeth hearing that R, Hemmings wishes to make a match, will row him any distance for £ 5 a side. Money ready at the Fleece, Belvedere- road, Lambeth.

ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB.— His Excellency the Earl of Carlisie, Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, has signified his intention of honouring the regatta in Galway Bay with his presence in the latter end of July. The Russian guns presented by Lord Pan- mure to the town of Galway will be mounted ou the occasion of his excellency's visit. The preparations for this regatta are progressing rapidly, and a week's programme will, no doubt, attract a numerous attendance of yachtsmen, many of whom have already promised. AQUATICS AT OXFORD. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE PAIR- OARED RACES.— The annual pair- oar races by members of this college took place on Wednes- day last, over the course from the Long Bridges to the University Barge. There were only two crews entered, namely, Messrs JohngDouglas and P. Gurdon, and G. D. Atkinson and B. Field. Mr Gurdon ran into the bank at Saunders' Bridge, when the other pair were enabled to win by a long distance. BALLIOL COLLEGE SCULLERS RACE, FOR SILVER CHAL- LENGE CUP.— The annual races for the silver challenge cup, held by Mr F. T. E. Prothero, came off on Wednesday last. There were five entries, namely, Mr Holder, Mr J. Sheppard, Mr H. G. Walpole, Mr Thomas, and Mr D. Smith, The first heat was between Messrs Sheppard and Walpole. After a good race, the latter was victorious by one length. The second heat aquatic fame, came off on Thursday, the 11th inst, on the river between Bramerton Woods End and Whitlingham. The com- petitors, Henry Balls and Wm. Watling, are both very young, Balls being altogether less powerful and rather younger than his opponent. He has, however, been for some time accustomed to row in a sculling boat, and has a very neat and finished style of rowing, for one so young. He has, for some weeks, been under the skilful training of Stephen Wright, who recently rowed a match with Jack Clasper of Newcastle, and has stuck well to his work and appeared to be in good condition, aud for some days previous to the race was the favourite, 6 to 4 being offered on him. Watling, who has the advantage of his opponent in strength, had not, until recently, made himself acquainted with the knowledge of a sculling boat, and has only been in training for the event about a fortnight. Under the tuition, however, of R. Buttle, the recent competitor with H. Kelly of Fulham, he appeared to become master of his work, and although so short a time at his work, when stripped for the event, he looked in first- rate condition, and reflected great credit on Buttle, his trainer, who appeared to feel confident as to the result of the match, and on the morning of the race Watling was backed at 6 to 4, having become the favourite in place of Balls. Five o'clock was the time fixed for the match, and a large number of people had assembled at Whitlingham, and along the banks of the river, to witness the event. Six o'clock, however, came and yet no men appeared in sight; a few minutes after 6: 30, horsemen and vehicles arrived from Bramerton, and it became known that the men were on their way.— The race: It had been arranged by the respective parties, that as the two lads were comparatively strange to the river, and, in fact, novices, that Buttle and Wright, the trainers of the two men, should accompany the lads on their way, and aid them, by giving directions, & c; a four- oared boat was also in attendance with the referee, and at about 6: 20 the two lads were brought to the scratch, Balls having won the toss for choice of station. After one false start they went off at a good pace, Balls in tke first few strokes slightly leading. He was, however, quickly passed by his opponent, who on reaching Bra- merton Woods End public- house, was leading nearly one boat's length, and continued to improve his position, till on nearing the point to Postwick Reach. Wright, who was rowing in a position between the two boats, and in the water of Wat- ling, attempted to cross over to the other side of the river, and, in doing so, ran foul of Watling's boat between the stern and midships, and sent him almost round, so that his boat went ashore, where he was also run into by Balls. Buttle almost im- mediately called out a foul, and requested his man to leave the boat, which he did, and took his seat in the four- oared boat, which came up and went on to Whitlingham; Balls, in the meantime, going over the course. On arriving at Whitlingham, the referee on being appealed, to, gave it as his decided opinion that the stakes should be given to Watling, Wright having fouled him in conse- quence of his attempting to cross over. The decision, we under- stand, was objected to by Balls' friends, they asserting that Wat- ling rowed several strokes after being fouled. This, however, is strongly denied by Watling and his friends, as well as by the re- feree, who state that Watling could not possibly have made any pulls even had he the disposition to do so, he having been jammed so close to the bank. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN CHILDS AND WHARF FOR £ 60.— A scullers race took place last Monday between Charles Childs and Richard Wharf ( both below- bridge landsmen). Childs has won several matches of late years, without being once defeated, but of his opponent very little is known. Tho race was for £ 30 a side, from North Woolwich to Limehouse Hole, a distance of above seven miles, the usual below- bridge course. The day being very fine, a large number of people assembled to witness the race, on board the Penguin, Diamond Packet Company's steamer ( chartered to accompany the match), besides a great number at the starting and finishing points, and other places along the line of route. The spectators were, however, disappointed iti seeing a good match, as it was quite a one- sided affair through- out. Thomas Grant was umpire for Childs, Thomas Day for Wharf, and the veteran Bob Newell officiated as referee, an office which was rendered unnecessary, because we are happy to say that, unlikealmost every late below- bridge match, everything went off in an honourable manner. All being in readiness, Wharf went away with a slight lead, but did not hold it for more than two hundred yards, when Childs rowed past him, was six lengths ahead at Blackwall, had doubled that distance at Greenwich, and finally won as he pleased. The winner was taken up by W. Myers, trained by his umpire, Grant, at North Woolwich, and rowed in a boat built by Messrs Searle and Sons, of Lambeth. The stakes are to be given up to the winner at Mr Jamson's, Camden's Head, Church- lane, Limehouse, on Tuesday next. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN DEAL AND WHITE, FOR £ 50.— Another below- bridge match took place on Monday last between William Deal, jun, of Cherry- garden Stairs, and Thomas White, of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, for £ 25 a side. Deal was the win- ner of the Bermondsey Coat and Badge in 1851, and of the Ber- mondsey boat in 1855. White rowed for the coat and badge in the Royal Thames National Regatta last year, and also won the freedom at the Lambeth Regatta. The distance to be rowed was from the East India Docks, Blackwall, to the Wappiug entrance of the London Docks. A very numerous party col- lected to witness the match. The men got off capitally together. Deal shortly after took a slight lead, which he maintained to the West India Docks. White here came up to him, aud after pulling close together for some distance, began to leave him, and drew his boat a length in advance ; in this position they con- tinued rowing desperately till they got to the Commercial Dock, Rotherhithe, where White eventually stole away from his oppo- nent, and, gradually increasing his lead, won by five or six lengths. The winner was taken up by Thomas White, of East- lane, and trained under his brother Henry, at Lambeth. The stakes are to be given up to the winner at Mr A. Ross's, Prince of Orange, Mill- street, Bermondsey, oa Monday ( to- morrow) evening. We hear that White last week received his freedom won by him at Lambeth Regatta last autumn. SHANNON REGATTA.— The Lower Shannon, the Queen of British Rivers, the first in the kingdom for aquatic sports, has been too long neglected as a " locale" for the enlivening amuse- ments of a regatta, and it is to be regretted that the fault is solely attributable to the apathy and indifference of the resident gentry of Limerick aud Clare, who should at once bestir them, selves to revive the scenes of gaiety and enjoyment which for merlv shed lustre upon thuir exertions in tfcat respect. That the Royal Western Yacht Club would cheerfully respond to an application for holding a regatta upon the Lower Shannon, we have no doubt, and, therefore, the sooner a committee is or- ganised to collect subscriptions so as to make the prizes worthy of the cause, the better. The celebrated fame of the Shannon is known all over the world, and the project of a regatta feasibly put forward, and patronised by noblemen and gentlemen of in- fluence, such as Limerick and Clare contain, would ensure unex- ampled success. FULHAM ANNUAL REGATTA.— A Scullers' Match for a Purse of sovereigns and other prizes given by the nobility and fentry of Fulham and its vicinity, will take place on Monday, uly 13. First heat: Thomas Wingfield ( blue), James Banyard ( white), John Powell ( yellow). Secoud heat: John Kelley ( Red), Stephen Knight ( pink), John Freeman ( green). The first heat to start at three o'clock, from Fulham Bridge: Up, round a boat moored off the Crabtree; down, round a boat moored off Broom, house; up, through the centre arch of the bridge. Second heat to start at four o'clock, to row the same distance as the first Third or grand heat to start at lialf- past six o'clock: Down, round a boat moored off Brooinliouse; up, round a boat moored off the Crabtree ; down, through the bridge. Treasurer, Henry Chasemore, Esq; Managers, John Phelps and Henry Kelley the Champion of the Thames. T. H. CLASPER AND WEIGHT OF NORWICH.— Mr Editor Referring to the letters from S. Wright, Norwich, and H. Clasper, Newcastle- on- Tyne, in the last two numbers of Bell's Life permit me to say that Wright's challenge is not calculated to raise him or Norwich in the estimation of aquatic sportsmen generally. To request £ 3 more for expenses than he gave, or was williug to give, is not only palpably uujust, but also highly un- tenable. H. Clasper's challenge for liis son will, I think, be considered by sporting men of the Thames as an act of " fair play," a love of which ail Englishmen profess, but in the Norwich case an exception.— Yours, & c, CLYDE. MR WENTZELL'S KEW REGATTA.— The draw for partners for this regatta took place last Wednesday, as announced. First heat at 3: 30. Messrs Tuttle and Whittaker ( red), Ayckbourn PEDESTRIAMSM.

LEVETT AND PUDNEY.— To- morrow ( Monday) the great ques- tion of the respective merits of these two celebrated pedestrians is to be finally settled, at Mr Sadler's Ground, Garratt- laue, Wandsworth, when we strongly advise all lovers of pedestrianism not to miss so grand an opportunity of witnessing the perform- ance of two of our very best men. Levett has been training at Musselburgh Race Course, near Edinburgh, and arrived in town last Sunday in first- rate fettle, having recovered from the sprain which caused his last forfeit, and for Pudney's condition we can ourselves answer, having seen him within the last day or two. He speaks with great confidence as to the result, but wishes it to be understood that, in whatever way it may turn out, he is determined to give that " never failing pair" repose for the future, aud stick entirely to business. The whole of the money, viz, £ 40 on the part of Levett, and £ 50 on the part of Pudney, is in our hands, and the race is to take place between two and four o'clock in the afternoon. The Editor of Bell's Life to ap- point a referee. T> DOINGS AT HYDE PARK GROUND, SHEFFIELD, AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.

AT ASTON CROSS GROUNDS, BIRMINGHAM, the Great War- wickshire Handicap race of 120 yards, first prize £ 7, second £ 2, and 3s for any man winning a heat and not getting a prize, com- menced on Saturday, the 6th, and ou Monday the heats were run off. On Saturday fortunately the weather proved fine, and, notwithstanding the drawback of the Birmingham show fair ( and it may fee said a general holiday all the week, owing to the visit of the Duke of Cambridge on Monday and Tuesday, and the show commencing on Thursday) there was a pretty considerable muster on the ground. The following were the lots:— Lot 1: Rowley 124 yards start, Hughes 94. Betting: 5 to 4 on Hughes, who won by a yard.— Lot 2 : B. Phillips, 6 yards start, 1; won by half a yard.— Lot 3: Aston 12 yards start; won by a foot. ( This was a well- contested race, so close that it was almost con- sidered a dead heat.)— Lot 4: Moon 104 yards start ( walked over). — Lot 5 : Wheeler 4 yards start; won by half a yard. Betting : 2 to 1 oil Wheeler.— Lot 6: Hill 6 yards start; won by two yards. On Monday the morning was fine, but during the afternoon heavy storms of rain prevailed, making the ground very heavy. The interest, however, taken in the haudicap brought nnmbers to the ground, aud betting to some amount on the men took place. The first lot that came to scratch was Boulton Phillips and Hill, who won ; Phillips, seeing there was no chance, gave in at three parts distance.— Lot 2: Wheeler and Aston; won by Aston.— Lot 3: Hughes and Moon ran a dead heat; ran it off in half an hour, Hughes winning by half a yard. Hughes and Hill thenran the ground. Betting: 2 to 1 on Hill. Hughes won by one yard. The final heat, ran between Hughes and Aston. Betting: 2 to 1 Aston. Hughes won by a yard the first prize of £ 7, Aston the second prize of £ 2. At the above grounds on Monday, previous to the handicap, COBLEY and CAIN met to run their six score yards race, for £ 5 a side. Both men looked in first- rate trim, and the friends of each were confident of the result, and a good deal of money was laid out at evens. After a number of attempts the men got away, Cain with a lead of a yard, but at three score yards Cobley caught his man, aud a well- contested race eusued, Cobley how- ever managing to run in a winner by a quarter of a yard. SIMPSON AND STOKES— AS soon as the ground was cleared these men appeared at scratch to run their 120 yards match, for £ 5. Both men have run previous matches with varied success, but on the present occasion Stokes was the favourite at 6 to 4. The men were a long time dodging for the start, without effect tney then were to go by the first pull of a handkerchief. Stokes went away before the handkerchief was pulled, and ran the ground over. The referee, however, declared it no race, and ordered them to scratch again, when a level start was effected, Stokes, however, soon leaving Simpson in the rear, and ran in a wirmer by two yards. GADD and WALKER next came to scratch to run a mile, for £ 5 a side, eight times round the ground. Both men have figured before, Gadd within a few weeks; both men looked iu good trim. Betting commenced at even, but after the first quarter of a mile Walker had the call at 2 to 1. The meu ran pretty evenly to- gether for the first three laps, when Walker took the lead, aud as lap succeeded lap round, Walker made the gap wider between him and Gadd; at the last lap Gadd put on the steam, but Walker was at high pressure, shot ahead, and landed himself a winner by six yards. LITTLEHALES AND SHAKESPEAR.— These Birmingham men met on Monday near the Peeble Mill, on the Pershore- road, to run their half- mile match, for £ 5 a side. There was a pretty good muster present. Betting level: A good start was got, both men going away at a rattling pace nearly breast and breast for a quarter of a mile, that distance being well contested ; Littlehales here went ahead, and gradually left Shakespear in the rear, who, when 70 yards from home, gave in dead beat; Littlehales was then leading by 10 yards. MR W. MILNEE'S HANDICAP FOOT RACE twice round the grounds, or 440 yards, for those men that never won £ 10, will take place at his grounds, the St Helena Gardens, Balsall Meath Birmingham, on Monday, July 20. First prize £ 2 10s, secon prize 10s, third prize 5s; entrance Is each, no acceptance. The money will be bona fide given to the winners. Entrances to be paid to Mr Miliier, the proprietor, up to Wednesday, July 1 Parties entering in wrong names will be disqualified. Mo training allowed on the grounds after two o'clock each day. JOHN THOMPSON ( the Sailor Boy) who had undertaken to walk 60 miles in 13 hours, for £ 25 a side, commenced his task at fifteen minutes past ten a. m. on Monday, June 1, at Portobello Emscott, near VVarwick, and went steadily to work throughout, and completed the whole distance of 60 miles at 10: 40 p. m., ap- parently not the least distressed, winning by 35 minutes. Mr C. Clow of Emscott was referee, Batchelor of Leamington, and Sweetman of Coventry, time- keepers. Mr Jones of Coventry, who was stakeholder, has paid over the stakes to Thompson. BISSELL of Hill Top, Westbromwich, will run Aston of Bir- mingham 120 yards and give him three yards and a half start ( the same as he had at Aston Cross handicap), or he will run him eight score, and give him four yards, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side. Money ready at Samuel Lloyd's, Shinglers' Arms, Wilton- lane, Hill Top, Westbromwich. S. SMITH AND J. WATTON are matched to run five score yards, Smith giving two yards start, for £ 5 a side; to come off at Aston Cross Grounds on Monday, 29th June. CAIN not being satisfied with his defeat by Cobley will run him six score yards, for £ 5 a side. Money ready at Mr Thomas's, the Pigeon, Cross- street, Birmingham. LITTLEHALES will run Asten a quarter of a mile if he will give him five yards start, or will take two yards start of Giles in six or eight score, or will run Daken same distance level, or give Ballinger two yards in like distance, for £ 5, £ 10, or their own sum. Money ready at Wilson's, Waggon and Horses, New Town Row. STOKES will run Rowley of Gosta Green six score yards, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side, or will run W. Williams or young Newbold the like distance for same amount or their own sums. Money ready at Ashford's, Crown and Anchor, Dartmouth- street. YOUNG MADELEY of Weduesbury is surprised that Hawkes should challenge him level; if Hawkes really wants a match Madeley will run him five score yards if he will give one yard start; or will run Danks or Coates five score yards level for £ 10 or £ 15 a side. Money ready at the Three Swans, Wednesbury, ALFRED SMITH will run Kettleby five or six score yards, for £ 5 a side. Money ready at Wilson's, Waggon and Horses, New Town Row. W. CHAWNER AND B. PHILLIPS.— The 100 yards match, for £ 5 a side, between these well known Birmingham men is off. DOINGS AT COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, NEAR MANCHESTER. The enterprising proprietor of these grounds certainly does not lack spirit; aiid the sport at times is as excellent as the course upon which it comes off. Here handicaps are of frequent occurrence, in which most of the best local men contend, and the subjoined will show that Mr Hayes has not overlooked Art Treasures, inasmuch as he has announced for competition an Exhibition Handicap, for which we anticipate a good struggle for " pride of plaee." TUESDAY, JUNE 2.— The deoiding heat for the 440 yards Handicap came off this afternoon, and resulted as follows :— J. Brummitt ( Lepton) 53 yards start, 1_; R. Suiethurst ( Jumbo) 65, 2 ; E. Hey wood ( Smallbridge) 56, 3 ; J. Taylor ( Cowhill) 60,4 ; H. Salter ( Cowhill) 70, 5 ; E. Greenwood, alias the German Lad ( Ardwick), 38, 6. Won by five yards ; Smethurst beating Hey- wood by two yards for second place. NOVICE HANDICAP.— This handicap, distance 140 yards, was brought to a conclusion on Monday afternoon last, when the men ran off in four lots, and the following is the return :— Lot 1 : Buckley, 11 yards start, 1; Fielding 8, 2 ; Bolton 9, 3. Won by a yard.— Lot 2 : Hellawell, 10 yards start, 1; Scho- field 12, 2 ; Simmons 11, 3. Won by six inches.— Lot 3 : Hilton, 9 yards start, 1 ; Taylor ( Gorton) 12, 2 ; Jones 12, 3.

The race is to come off on the 20th instant, at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Manchester, Bess to be under 131b, and Quick under 121b weight. DOINGS AT THE SALFORD BOSOUGH GARDENS. It is a well- known characteristic of the inhabitants of Man- chester, that Whit- week is, by them, specially devoted to plea- sure, business being entirely abandoned, and should the neces- sities of certain firms render the services of their workmen ne- cessary, especially during the last four days of the week, they are looked upon almost as traitors to the universally acknow- ledged cause. In this observance of the holiday, pedestrians, too, appear to participate, they also ceasing to pursue, in a great measure, their avocations, and indulge themselves by becoming spectators of races of a far different description, and therefore, on this occasion, we have nothing worthy of notice to record. The following events are in progress:— WARING AND MEDLEY.— Henry Waring and James Medley ( both of Blackburn) have signed articles to run 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, at the Salford Borough Gardens, to- morrow ( Mon- day). For this match Mr Hslden has received £ 5 each, and he is appointed referee.

Though an attempt had been made to keep the affair quiet there was an immense assemblage of spectators and vehicles of every description on the Ipswich road. Lord Tow had the call throughout, and 2 to 1 was laid freely on him at starting. The Boy John was accompanied in the spin by Bunn, and Lord Tow by Harry Ulph. A capital start was effected ; Tow went ahead for two or three yards only, when the Boy John took the lead, kept it, and won easily by nearly 100 yards. The Boy John's pluck and determination deserves the highest praise, and his success was hailed with pleasure by his friends, with whom his strict integrity, and manly and agreeable manners, have made him the most popular man in Norwich. HALL AND WILSON.— These pedestrians, it may be in the recollection of our readers, had been matched to run half a mile, at Garratt- lane, Wandsworth, on Monday, the 4th of last month, Wilson staking £ 10 to Hall's £ 8. After all the money had been made good, however, Hall met with an accident which prevented him from running, and he offered Wilson £ 3 to postpone the match until last Monday, and to increase the stakes £ 5 a side, that is, Wilson to lay £ 15 to £ 13, to which Wilson agreed. In consequence of which, and the assurance of the parties that the match would positively come off, our reporter went to Garratt- lane, last Monday, and waited on the ground till six o'clock, up to which hour neither of the parties nor their backers made their appearance. Tho exceeding severity of the weather was, no doubt, the cause of their non- attendance. WM. HEWETT of Bramley and J. BARBER of Kirkstall met at the Park- side Pleasure Grounds, Hunslet, near Leeds, on Satur « day, the 6th inst, to decide their race of 200 yards, for £ 10 a side. Betting commenced at evens previous to' the start. After about one hour had been cut to waste, in trying to effect a start, it was agreed to go by the report of a pistol. Barber got the advantage of two yards at the start, which he maintained for about 120 yards, when Hewett put on the steam, gave him the goby, and ran in a winner by about two yards. If Barber is not satisfied he can have another 200 yards spin for £ 25, or Sheppard of Cleckheaton, or Ben Wailes of Horsforth, can be accommo- dated with a 440 yards spin. Any of the matches can be made any night next week, for the above sum, at Mr Seth Perkins's, Star and Garter Inn, Bramley.

The time having expired, after about twelve fruit- less attempts, the handkerchief was pulled, and the men went away, Barker with a slight start, but was soon overtaken by Kitteridge, who eventually won by about one yard. A little brisk betting took placs at evens.

LEAMINGTON ANNUAL ARCHERY. The Leamington and Midland Counties annual grand archery meeting was held in the Jephsou's Gardens, on Wednesday and Thursday last. The target list contained one more name to each target than last year. The first day had a damp thrown upon it by a shower, which delayed the proceedings for a quarter of an hour; and early on Thursday a shower fell, but afterwards all was sunshine, which gave additional charms to the scene. The attendance of visitors was unusually large, as this fashion- able resort has been very full in anticipation of the event. The assemblage, without a doubt, consisted of the beauty, rank, and fashion of the midland counties. The charming ladies, more particularly those who tried their skill with the bow, looked be- witchingly picturesque in their shooting jackets and killing hats; and if there were not many a youth pierced by their bright eyes it must be a miracle. Several of the gentlemen com- petitors wore coats of Lincoln green. Major Martin wore three medals and other devices, Mr H. A. Ford wore many decorations in proof of his archery skill, Miss L. James and Miss Adelaide Feuton also wore decorations of merit. The shooting was very good. Mrs Horniblow with Miss Dixon ( her pupil), Mrs Lichfield, Mrs Denn Young, and Miss Caldecott greatly distinguished themselves. The following is the result:— For the greatest gross score, Mrs Litchfield, £ 6; second, Miss H. Inge, £ 5; third, Mrs Horniblow, £ 4; fourth, Miss Dixon £ 3. The greatest number of golds, Mrs Denu Young, £ 2; greatest score at 60 yards, Miss Cole, £ 110s; greatest score at 50 yards, Miss H. Chetwynd, £ 1 l « s; best gold, Miss Lizzie James, £ 1. Best gold , at 60 yards, Miss Adela K. Fenton, £ 1. Best gold at 50 yards, Miss Charlotte Fenton, £ 1. Greatest score for a resident iu Leamington, Miss Lizzie James, £ 1.

TOM SAYERS AND THE TIPTON SLASHER. We have at length arrived within two days of the period ap- pointed for the decision of this, the most important event in fistic circles since the year 1853. The last act but one in the great melodrama was duly performed on Thursday evening at Mr Newliam's, Ship Tavern, Hauover- court, Long- acre, when the final deposit of £ 40 a side was posted, and the immediate friends and backers of the men met to arrange preliminaries. Of course neither of the heroes was present, but the assemblage of sportsmen was very great, and doubtless would have been more than doubled had it not been that many of the Corinthian patrons of the art were too much fatigued after their attendance at Ascot during the day. We did not bear of much betting, but the Slasher was still the favourite at 6 to 4. He has been for some time iu close training in the neighbourhood of Box Moor, and we are credibly informed is under 14st in weight, and his muscular frame shows very few signs of that old age which his opponents represent to be creeping so fast upon him. We understand that his con- fidence is unbounded, and that he looks forward to the encounter as the best thing that ever occurred to him. Tom Sayers has been doing extraordinary work in the romantic neighbourhood of Six Mile Bottom. He has not left a stone unturned to get fit, and will weigh on the day little over list. He, like the Slasher, is in no way deficient in confidence, and is very auxious for the time to arrive to enable him to distinguish himself. It was originally our intention in this week's paper to give our readers a brief sketch of the previous performances of the men, and also to give them a short insight into the history of the championship; but, owing to the extremely crowded state of our columns, we are compelled to defer this gratification for our next, when we hope to be able to lay before our subscribers every information they can require. We have received innume- rable questions as to the weight, height, age, and doings of each man, but we must beg one and all of our correspondents to curb their curiosity until next week. As to the whereabouts it is impossible at present to afford any information which can be relied ou. So many difficulties have been encountered by those having the management of the mat- ter, and they have met with so many refusals from persons to whom they applied for " specialacoommodation," thattowards the end of the week they were fairly at their wits' end, when some kind friends interested themselves in a quarter where it was feared that in future there was no chance of assistance, and arrange- ments were made for the conveyance of the combatants and tbe immense body of spectators who doubtless will be present, to the scene of many a well- fought field in a district which, for obvious reasons, shall be nameless. Of course, on such a great occasion, punctuality will have to be observed; and to prevent the expeditionfrom clashing with ordinary business, a very early start ( a quarter before eight o'clock) is rendered absolutely neces- sary. The fixture will not, of course, be disclosed to any but the initiated, who, however, will be able to obtain every information they can desire from Oweu Swift, Horse Shoe, Tichbeurne- street; Jemmy Massey, Crown, Cranbourne- passage; Nat Langham, Cambrian, Castle- street; MrNewham, Ship, Han- over- court, and all other sporting publicans. To our country readers we have only one hint to give, which is, that they must come to Town, in order to start with the expedition, which being " especially special" will start under sealed orders, which are not to be opened until some twenty or thirty miles shall have separated the conveyance from the metropolis. The " office" will be obtainable at the benefit of the Pugilistic Be- nevolent Association, at Chaudos- street Rooms, the evening before the mill, when both men will show, and wheu a grand muster of the Fancy may be relied on. Tickets for the excursion will also be obtainable at Mr James Parish's, Leander Stores, Newcastle- street, Strand. We would however, caution such of our readers as may depend ou this method of obtaining information, that it will be as well to seek for a hint in some safe quarter, and not to take for granted any informa- tion that may be posted in the room, or volunteered to them by persons who most likely know no more than themselves. It was originally intended that the winner should receive the Champion's Belt, to hold until wrested from him in fair fight, or until he had held it three years against all comers, but as we some time back stated, that trophy is to some extent— say £ 12 or £ 14— still unpaid for, and it certainly is not our intention to be out of pocket by an affair which we undertook, and for which we made ourselves respon- sible, solely at the request of other persons, who have never come forward or put down their names as subscribers towards their own particular project. Of course, if the requisite amount is made up prior to the battle money being bauded over, the belt will go with it, providing the battle comes off, as there is every reason to believe it will, and provided also that the winner gives us a sufficient guarantee that he will yield up the trophy, should he, within three years, have the misfortune to have it wrested from him by a better man. Had the subscription pro- ceeded as it ought, even this guarantee would have been unne- cessary, as it was part of the plan to have a German silver fac simile of the belt, to be held as a floating prize until the winner should prove himself worthy of the belt itself. Such, however, has not been the case, and the matter, therefore, still remains in a state of uncertainty. As the ex- pedition will, in all probability, be of extraordinary length, we would suggest to our readers the advisability of providing them- selves with some species of creature comforts for the inner man, which being neglected might reduce them almost to a state of canuibalism before they could reach home. We have as yet heard of no caterer, and therefore suggest as an appropriate motto, " Every man for himself." Owing to the extraordinary crowd that is expected, it has been resolved to appoint sixteen ring keepers to preserve order, four of whom, well armed, will be placed at each side of the ring, and who are instructed to show no favour or affection to any one. It must be their duty to remove from the inner circle all persons not provided with privi- leged tickets, and they are hereby informed that any neglect in complying with this order will be punished by non- payment for their services. As the officials are to be selected from those who most distinguish themselves by sparring at the benefit on Mon- day, it is of course impossible to publish a list of tbeir names now, but a list will be handed to Inspector Adams on the even- ing of the benefit, and another will be posted outside the money taker's box, so that all may know which are the chosen band and act accordingly. Our preliminary remarks are now at an end, aud we cannot conclude in a more appropriate manner than by giving vent to the wish that must be uppermost in every true Englishman's heart— May there be a fair field and no favour, may victory declare for the better man, and may we be there to see. Sayers will be at Nat Langham's and Mr Newliam's ab ternately on Monday, and the Slasher will be visible at Owen Swift's and Jemmy Massey's. We are requested to state that, from unavoidable circum stances, a private picnic, projected by a well known and respected patron of the Ring, cannot, from unavoidable circumstances, be carried out on Tuesday, and all gentlemen who intended joining that party must, if they wish to see the fight, obtain tickets either from us at the benefit or at either of the houses named. THE BENEFIT IN AID OF THE PUGILISTIC BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. This grand gala in the fistic world is fixed for to- morrow ( Mon- day) evening, and is to come off at Chandos- street Rooms, when a capital entertainment may be relied on. As it will be the night before the great fight for the Championship, there will of course be an immense assemblage of the sporting world, all anxious to get a glimpse of the heroes of the forthcoming fray- both of whom will show. Every information may be ob- tained as to the fixture for the ensuing day ; and tickets will be obtainable for the special— which tickets alone will enable the public to be present at the mill. We have received promises from most of the crack men iu town to attend and set- to ; but, as disappointments so frequently have occurred when we have endeavoured to carry out a particular programme of the setting- to, we have not on this occasion attempted to pair the couples, but must leave that task to be effected on the evening. As the ring keepers for the morrow are to be selected from the ranks of sparrers, we doubt not that there will be plenty of competition. We may as well hint to the men that the earlier they come the better chance they will have, as the committee will be guided as much by that as by the setting- to in making their selection. The list of constables appointed will be furnished to Ned Adams, the inspector, and another will be affixed near the money- taker's box. The following men have faithfully promised to attend and spar :— Ben Caunt, Nat Langham, Mat Robinson, Billy Duncan, Ned Adams, Dick Hart, the Chelsea Doctor, Charley George, Bill Hayes, Dan M'Nulty, Job Cobley, Alf Walker, Johnny Walker, Da » Collins, Jesse Hatton, Boss and Tom Tyler, Jemmy Shaw, Charley Lynch, George Brown, George Baker, & c. Charley Mallett will of course officiate as maitre de mouflles, aud do all that doth become a man to render things pleasant. RILEY AND RAFFERTY.— These well- known Birmingham men who were matched at 7st 4lb, for £ 20 a side, went to scale at Perk's, Essington- street. The whereabouts was kept very close. Trie compauy was select. Stratford- on- Avon was the appointed place of meeting, and three miles beyond that famed town, on the same spot as Brettle and Roger Coyne contended last year, a well- roped ring was pitched, and a little after two o'clock the men appeared. Both men looked in good condition, and eager for the fray. Riley was the favourite at 5 to 4. The men crossed hands, got into position, and, after a good deal of dodging about, Riley feinted with his right; Rafferty popped in a slight hit on the forehead and broke away ; Riley pursued the same system, when Rafferty again popped in one on the same place, and Riley made a dash, Rafferty bobbed his head to avoid a well- inteuded right- hander, and fell on bis knees; Riley immediately let fly his left and right whilst Rafi'erty was in this position. A cry of " foul" was raised, the refuree ( Bodger Crutchiey) was sur- rounded, appeared confused, aud left the ring, stating he would give his decision when he got home. Rafferty's party in the meantime had removed their man from the ring, claiming the battle, and every one bad to return home, much annoyed at the turn things had taken. Our correspondent inquired of tbe referee what his decision was, and he stated that Riley had struck Rafferty a foul blow whilst on his kiiees. It was not denied by Riley's friends that the blow was struck, but they, as well as Riiey, say it was accidental. The referee did not, however, wait upon the stakeholder, Mr Tailby, till late the next day, when he said he only saw one blow given, and, he was so bothered, he did not know what to do. He intended to have gone over to Riley to caution him not to repeat it, but was prevented from doing so. The stakeholder considered, from all he heard and from the words of the referee, that had he been permitted he would have allowed the fight to proceod; and, under the circumstances, did not feeljustified in giving up the battle money to Rafferty, aud therefore told the men they must fight again or draw, and they have adopted the latter course.— We have been asked whether the stakeholder acted rightly in this case ? It is, of course, impossible for us to give a decided opinion— not knowing the exact state of things. It seems that the referee gave no decision upon the matter to either of the men or their backers, and in declining to do so on the ground displayed a want of firmness utterly at variance with the office of referee. An opinion given to our reporter can scarcely be called a decision, and we are inclined to think that the stake- holder, uuder the circumstances of the case, exercised a sound discretion. Hatton requests that those who took colours in his match with Campbell will forward the payment to him at G. Brown's, Bell Inn, Red Lion Market. T. O'Neill of Glasgow writes to us for the £ 5 he deposited in our hands to make a match with Elward, but does not send his address. When we receive it the money shall be forwarded.

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 ready 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, ill order that they may be in the reach of all Secretaries are requested to notice au advertisement in another column, and in making an application for them, to ask for Bell's Life in London Score Sheet.

MONDAY, JUNE 8.— This match was commenced at Lord's on Monday, and, owing to unfavourable weather, was not brought to a conclusion until Wednesday morning. The ball, owing to the bad condition of the ground, came in contact with several of the players' heads, to say nothing of bodies, conse- quently many good points of the game were lost. Lillywhite, in his 43, made drives from Willsher for a six, from Hollands for a five and two fours; he also made leg- hits and cuts for four threes. The wickets fell— one for 2, two for 10, three for 23, four and five for 44, six for 45, seven for 54, eight for 78, nine for 96. Grundy's 15 comprised a four and singles, when, with Ms hand, he stopped the ball going into his wicket, after playing it. The first wicket of Kent fell for 37, second for 51, third for 56, fourth for 60, fifth, sixth, and seventh for 65, eighth for 87, aud ninth for 97. Adams made some very fine hits. The County, it will be seen, headed their opponents by nine. The M. C. C. in their second innings only scored sufficient to put the County in for 84 to win. Mr Haygarth contributed 17, by a five ( leg- hit from Fryer), a four, a three, & c. Grundy made up 16 by a four, three threes, & c. Grundy, Dean, and Lillywhite had each a very com- fortable " head- blow." Lilly received four body- blows, in four successive balls— and on the same spot— from Hinkly. The last two men, Royston aud Martingell, made a capital stand, when the latter ran out, starting away after witnessing his partner make a remarkably fine off- drive, which was fielded, and the wicket thrown down. Kent commenced their task— Adams and Mr Norton scoring 21 before they could be separated, for which number the third wicket fell. Willsher and Clifford then got a hold, but the rain put a stop to the game for the day. Mr Norton was disposed of by John Lillywhite being put on at Martingell's end, off whose first ball he made a very fine leg- hit, which went into the safe hands of Mr Drake; Adams again made some fine drives and cuts, and was caught— hitting round at a leg ball— by the long- stop. On Wednesday Clifford was parted from Willsher, they having increased the score to 49, and ere Willsher was disposed of, in the short slip, the telegraph announced 60. The rest of the Eleven did not seem to know how to manage Lillywhite, consequently, when the last man had to retire to his dressing- room, the County was five runs behind, thus losing tbe match by that number. The fielding was very bad throughout, bar the long- stopping of Mr Fuller, whose difficult task we did not envy. Goodhew also took it well. Sewell and Chatterton officiated as umpires. We are somewhat at a loss to know how this return match is to be played with its strength, for we find, on the day fixed ( July 16), that the All England Eleven play at Uppingham, and Surrey and Sussex at the Oval. We hope some alteration will take place, so as to avoid this clashing of such important events. Score: MARYLEBONE. 1st inn 2d inn W. Nicholson, Esq, cGoodhew. bFryer.. 2 b Hollands 0 J.

LOWESTOFT v YARMOUTH. On Tuesday, June 9th, the Lowestoft Club played their first match for this season against Yarmouth, and, as will be seen by the score, they are not likely to lose their well- earned laurels of last season.

This newly- made aud interesting match was played at the Oval on Monday, but, owing to the wet on Tuesday, and engagements for the Wednesday, it resulted in a draw. The wickets were iu splendid order, much to the credit of Brockwell, who is engaged by the Surrey Club to attend to them ; and it is only by such attention, at the proper season, that we can hope to see good cricket. In consequence of this match being drawn, coupled with the great press of cricketing news, we have merely given the score, from which it will be seen that those " good- at- every- poiat cricketers, the Messrs Walker, as usual, did wonders with both bat and bail. The fielding of Mr V. E., as we have had occasion to allude to before, was magnificent, and greatly admired and applauded by those present. The match will be sure to grow iu interest every sea- son, and we have no doubt a large company will wend their way to the splendid ground at Southgate, to witness the return, SOUTHGATE. 1st inn 2d inn A.

RUGBY CLUB v RUGBY SCHOOL. This match was commenoed on the 8th inst, on the ground of the firmer, and was continued till Tuesday afternoon, when rain put a stop to all further proceedings. The School went first to the wickets, and their play, with tbe exception of Williams and Leach, was rather tame throughout the innings. The Club fol- lowed, but such was the bowling, combined with the fielding, that when the last wicket fell they were 14 short of their oppo- nents. The School seemed to " mettle" up in their second innings, and succeeded in placing 100 on the score; the play of Kenney, Wood, and Sandford, was very good. The Club had HOW 124 to get to win, but they had lost five wickets for 45 runs, and so the match ended in a draw. Score: SCHOOL. 1st inn 2d inn A.

CRICKET AT CHELTENHAM COLLEGE. On Saturday, June 6th, the Cirencester Club, with two or three from the College, played the Eleven of Cheltenham Col- lege ( of which two or three were unfortunately absent). Not- withstanding this, however, the Collegians headed their oppo- nents by 93 runs in the first innings. In the first innings of Cirencester, Messrs Hampton and Hoare, tho two first wickets, played well. The total amounted to 71. The Collegians then went in, and the first two wickets soon fell victims to MrHoare's slows, when Mr Price joined Mr Ashton, and both played the slows with the greatest steadiness. Messrs Hulton and Johnson then got together, and, as usual, roused the field by very Hue hits all *> und. The innings closed for 164. The Cirencester then went in for 94 runs to save the " one innings." Six cf their wickets fell for 48, Mr Fuller ( of Cambridge renown) playing well for 21, while Mr Hampton carried out his bat for 14. If time hadallowed, the Collegians seemed to be in a good way for beating yMBtopponeuts in pne innings. The bowling of the Collegiai^ ralrexcelleiit, and the fielding on both sides very good. TvTO^ Wftree of the College Eleven distinguished them- selves by magnificent catches. The long- stopping of both sides was very good. Score: CIRENCESTER. lst inn E.

CHELTENHAM COLLEGE. On Wednesday last, June 10, the Eleven played the next ten ( with Rev Mr Fuller, Lillywhite, and three others given). On the Eleven side Messrs Price, Elmhirst, Brandt, Johnson, and Butler, played very good and steady innings, while Mr Lloyd, soon ran up his score by fine hits. They made 205. The Fifteen failed in reaching them by 54 ruus, though Capt Gurney, Wood, Smith, and Garuett, made good scores. The fielding on both sides was not what it ought to have been, especially on the Fifteen side. Score: THE ELEVEN. E. II. Hinchliffe, a Singleton, b 1 R. Johnson, b Bentham Lillywhite 4 " ~ R. H. F.

Earl of Stamford's Eleven com- menced by sending " Tinley and Willsher to the wickets. - The first four wickets were soon disposed of; when his lordship went to the wicket, and. by some steady play, ran up a score of 39, without giving a chance.

THE COUNTY OP SURREY AND KENT THURSDAY, JUNE 11.— This match was begun at the Oval on Thursday, where between 700 and 800 attended to witness the play. This number would have been greatly augmented had not Ascot interfered. The ground was in beautiful order, and scarcely a ball rose above the bails except some few of Willsher's. The betting before the toss was 7 to 4 and stolon Surrey, but afterwards the odds were less. Caffyn and Sherman started bowling. Adams was disposed of the fourth ball,; Clif- ford was well caught at tho wicket, and Fryer, after playing , a very excellent innings of 18, was served thesamebutt- e catcli deserved somewhat more credit on the part of Lockyer, it being made off a " draw ;" he made two excellent cuts for fours, as well as some good leg- hits for twos, Mr Norton and Willsher caused a change in the bowling, Griffiths, theuewSurrey bowler, being put on at Sherman's end. Caffyn got Wil sher disposed of in the slip for 16, made by a three, four twos.& c. Bennett fol- lowed, when Martingell relieved Caffyn, and he soon got rid of Mr Norton by a leg- shooter ; his innings comprised a cut lor four, a leg- hit, and cut for threes, two twos, & c. Mr Mynn made an excellent drive from Martingell for four, and played during his innings in his usual fine old style. Bennett played a steady in- nings— too steady; letting off the loose and overpitched ones, from which the runs should be obtained. Goodhew inade a cut from Martingell for four, when Hammond and Hollands got together; tbe former is a youug player from Maidstone, but although he scored 17 did not exhibit any likelihood of doing the like again in a match of this description; be has an ex- cellent knack of " drawing" a ball ( which he isfond of), but does not appear to us to possess any other point than that or being a very excellent field. Hollands drove Sherman for four. Several changes took place in the bowling, but none bowled well but Caffyn. Griffiths was very wide of the wicket, as was also Mr Miller previous to the dinner bell ringing, after which lie found out the spot, in the few overs he delivered— the last two men being in before the bell rang. The iwirings closed at ten minutes past four o'clock for 124— an innings not considered more than enough for such excellent playing wickets. The wiekets fell as follows:— one for 0, two for 13, three for 21, foui for 43, five for 62, six for 75, seven for 84, eight for 90, nine for 105. After the usual lapse of time Surrey sent in Mr Miller aud Stephenson. Willsher's second over got Stephenson caught mid wicket, and in his next over Mr Miller was run out, trjing for the fifth run off a beautiful cut from Willsher. The first fell for 1, and second for 8 runs. The third ( Caffyn's) was disposed of at mid wicket for 22, of which he scored 11, but did not seem at home ;" he, however, made a splendid cut from Willsher for five. Caesar and Mortlock were then disposed of, which made a score of only 33 for five wickets! This announcement caused the friends of Kent to brighten up. As the Surrey team, however, is somewhat difficult to be got rid of without one or the other making a staud, this occurred with Mr Burbidge aud Tom Loekyer; the former, after playing most steadily for upwards of an hour, made rather too free with one of Hmkly's; his splendid innings of 23 consisted of a five ( cut from Hollands), a four ( leg- hit from Hiuklv), a three, and singles. Moody made a very fine on- drive, ran five, and iu attempting the sixth could not reach home, no one being to blame but himself . Lockyer was repeatedly applauded for his magnificent hits, and much credit is due to this player for the steady and energetic manner in which he got his runs, and stayed until no one was found to stop with him; his figures comprised four fives ( three drives and a cut), two fours ( drive and a cut), a three, five twos, & c. Sherman played well for nine runs, making a good cut from Willsher for four. Bv scoring 132, they headed iheir opponents by eight runs. Willsher bowled admirably— better than we have seen him this season. This finished the day's play. FRIDAY.— The morning was fine, and a good company made their appearance. Kent began their second innings, but the bowling of Caffyn was too straight and difficult for either to make a long staud, and they were therefore disposed of for 64 runs, leaving Surrey 57 to get to win. Griffiths again did not bowl straight, but got much better the latter part of the innings. Lockyer kept wicket beautifully, and the fielding of Surrey throughout was perfection. Bennett made a long stay for nine, when he " hit on." At four o'clock Surrey commenced the task of getting the runs, sending in Stephenson and Mr Miller. The former was caught the first ball at point. Mr Miller made a splendid drive from Hollands for four, and, shortly after, hit a ball, rather wide, from Hollands, into his wicket; two wickets down for 14 runs. Mortlock and Caffyn then got to- gether, and ran up the score to 41, or 16 to win. Mortlock was beautifully caught in the slip by Mr Alfred Mynn, after playing a splendid innings of 19, composed of a drive from Hollands for four, and a cut from Willsher for three; the remainder were singles. Caesar joined Caffvn, and brought off another victory for their county. Caffyu's figures were two fours ( a" fleuk," and a splendid leg- hit from Hinkly), two twos, and singles. Caesar made a very fine cut from Hinkly for five, a leg- hit for two, & c. The bowling of Willsher aud Hinkly was again very good, aud the fielding of Han-. mond particularly was noticed. Some very fine cricket was exhibited in the match, but, from the first, even the supporters of Kent thought their chance but little to conquer such a formidable team. They had one time some hope, but, as we have before alluded to, there were so many good bats on the Surrey side that HO one knows when they are out. They have several other encounters to come off during the season, and we have no doubt they will all prove interesting. KENT. 1st inn 2dinn T. Adams, b Caffyn 0 c Ciesar, b Caffyn 11 H.

TOLLESBURY CLUB v ELEVEN OF MESSING AND DISTRICT. This match was played at Messing Park on Tuesday, the 9th of June, which, after some good play, was won by the Tolles- bury. The bowling on this side was very fast and true, and told tales on the good ground of the Messing Eleven. Mr C. Harri- son showed some very good play in his innings, obtaining 30 runs in a masterly manner ; while Mr Dawson, a young member of the club, played in uncommonly good style for 14. The scores were not large on the part of the Messing, but the batting of Messrs Rivett, Browne, and Scott was much admired ; whilst the bowling of Mr T. Otway was particularly good. The ser- vices of Mr Scott, who is a fine batsman, was unfortunately lost from a severe accident. The game terminated at six o'clock, the time fixed for drawing the stumps, leaving two men to go in on the Messing side, with 41 runs to obtain. The parties adjourned to the hotel at Messing, where a very pleasant evening was spent, notwithstanding some little feeling of regret was evinced that the Messing gentlemen did not muster in tbe same force they did in the field.

This match was commenced on the Magdalen Ground, Cowley Marsh, Oxford, on Thursday, June 4. The Surrey gentlemen had the assistance of Lockyer, Caffyn, and Caesar, while the Oxford side was made up with two players, Nixon and Perry. Since the sides were*, announced, several alte- rations had taken place in the Elevens, Mr F. Burbidge being unable to play for Surrey, and the Hon E. C. Leigh and Mr L. T. Drake being unavoidably absent from the Oxfordshire Eleven. The Surrey wickets fell in the following order— one for 27, two for 28, three for 32, four for 47, five for 48, six for 68, seven for 74, eight for 87, nine for 107,10 for 110. The Oxford :— one for 19, two for 27, three for 28, four for 30, five for 39, six for 60, seven for 84, eight for 84, nine for 94,10 for 105. On Friday the total of the innings amounted to 114. I he wickets fell thus, one for 24, two for 57, three for 61, four for 64, five for 109, six for 114, seven for 114, eight for 114, nine for 144, ten for 161. In justice to the county of Oxford, we may observe that Mr C. D. Marsham, owing to an important engagement requiring his attention nearly all day, was unable to occupy his usual . place at tho bowling crease, until the innings was nearly finished, and the runs obtained; hence, in some measure, the increase of the surrey score in the second innings. The long stop, who performed his duties very creditably during the first day, was all abroad, as the large number under the head of byes will testify. Mr Marsham during his innings made a leg- bit off Caffyn for six, the ball being pitched over the road into the adjoining hedge, ihiswas acknowledged to be the finest hit ever witnessed at Oxford. The second innings of Oxfordshire closed for 110, leaving the Oxonians in a minority of 56. The Surrey players rendered good ser- vice for their county, and were mainly instrumental in the suc- cess which attended their side. We caunot close our neces- sarily condensed remarks of this match without expressing a hope that the full streugth of the two counties may be brought together on the occasion of the return, which takes place on the 23d July, at the Oval. Tbe absence of such players as Messrs F. W. Oliver, F. Burbidge, E. T. Drake, E. C. Leigh, & c, tends to the inconvenience of the county to which they be- long, and naturally detracts from the interest of the contest. SURREY. 1st inn 2dinn T. A. Beard, Esq, c C. D.

LILLYWHITE'S COLLECTION OF SCORES FROM 1746, IN PRE- PARATION.— 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 not be in vain. Bell's Life in London, from its first number, as well as the Marylebone Club books ( by authority of the com- mittee), have been carefully searched, and many important and interesting events abstracted; numerous » other reprint and manuscript copies have also been examined. wMch fully prove that many other good matches were piayea years back, and he hopes the scores of them are still obtainable.

EDINBURGH ACADEMY ( WITH SANDS) Y GRANGE SECOND ELEVEN.— The Edinburgh Agaderay has long turned out one of the best, if not the very best school Eleven north of the Tweed. This season tho scholars have for the first time enjoyed the benefit of professional training, having engaged the services of John Sands of Sussex, and considerable interest was felt in this match as affording an opportunity of judging as to the progress made under his teaching. The match was played on the Grange Ground on Saturday, 6th inst, and the result was very satisfac- tory, for although the Champion Club of Scotland brought for- ward a strong second Eleven, including a few who may fairly be reckoned in their first Eleven, the scholars were not only able to hold their own, but after a keen and well- played match came off victorious with three wickets to fall. All who are interested in the progress of the noble game must rejoice that the public schools north of the Tweed are beginning to put themselves under professional training. The Academy Eleven, though mostly very young players, exhibited throughout the day an amount of judgment and steady play highly creditable to Sands, their teacher, and encouraging as regards the prospects of cricket in Scotland.

On Monday last Mr Elers brought down a crew from Oxford to contend with the college. The start was made a little after three o'clock. At the beginning the college boat, by putting on a fast stroke, took a slight lead and maintained it for about half- way, but there the superior strength of the Oxford crew began to tell, and they drew away from their opponents. Finally, iu spite of all the efforts of the Haileybury crew, the Oxford boat increased its lead and won by about a length and a half. The following are the crews :— OXFORD. | HAILEYBURY. 1. A. Lloyd I. R. T. Burney 2. Hopkins I 2. J. B. Lyall S. Austen | 8. C. T. Metcalfe 4. C. Risley I 4. H. J. Sparks W. F. Elers ( cox). [ F. R. YVyllie ( cox).

The monthly meeting of this club was held at the club house, Freemasons' Tavern, the Commodore iu the chair. The house dinner numbered about 20 members, presided over by the Com- modore, faced by the Vice- Commodore. After the minutes of last meeting were confirmed, and the 13 members proposed at last meeting duly elected, the club proceeded to fix a day for the match for the Challenge Prize; the 17th July was fixed. The challenge prize was placed on the table, and again elicited the admiration of the members. The principal business of the evening was to receive the resignation of Mr Chubb, the lion sec, who has filled that post formanyyears with great satisfaction to the club. He addressed the meeting, and stated in feeling lan- guage the pain he felt at the necessitous severation of his connection with the club, which nothing but his leaving England would have caused, He stated he was about to sail for a foreign land in a few days, and he trusted the club would meet with a continuation of the prosperity it now en- joyed. Mr Chubb's resignation having been formally accepted, the club proceeded to elect a secretary pro tern, and Mr Sadleir was appointed. The Commodore then stated to the club that the sailing committee had considered the propriety of presenting Mr Chubb with a testimonial of their esteem aud regard for his long services, and it had been decided on presenting him with a gold medal, with a suitable inscription, and a purse, from the voluntary subscriptions of members. Messrs Guest, Aysbbourn, and A. Barncastle, were elected a com- mittee to carry out the object, and the members present com menced the work in earnest, the club heading the subscription with £ 5 5s, in addition to the medal testimonial. The evening passed most agreeably, Miss Taylor, daughter of Mr Geo. Taylor, having kindly volunteered, in consideration of the occasion of the club parting from their long- valued and esteemed secre- tary, to favour the company with some of her favourite songs, accompanied by her father on the piano, a mark of kindness on the part of the young lady which was duly appreciated by the club. Miss Taylor sang " Wapping Old Stairs" and several most appropriate songs, with great eclat. It is a long time since the club has had so joyous a reunion, and we wish the late secretary, who is leaving our shores for a foreign clime ( Australia), every successliis talent and good- fellowship deserves. the chase. THE ATHERSTONE ( MR SELBY LOWNDES'S) HOUNDS. MR EDITOR: I have just read a letter which appears in Bell's Life ot ilia 7th inst, signed " A Woodman." Ic would, under ordinary circumstances, be scarcely worth while to notice a com- munication which is so totally erroneous, and which exhibits so little knowledge of the real state of the case. " A Woodman" must excuse me for saying thus much. However, as at this mo- ment his statement may be believed by some at a distance, who know no better, or turned to au improper and mischievous account by others, who may be interested in making out that he is correct, I trust you will hear the other side. " A Woodman" says that the Woodlands ofthe Athcrstone country are not " bunted fairly," because " the hounds never meet now at Corley, Arley, or Maxstoke; seldom at Birchley Hayes." Will " A Woodman" inform your readers if it is necessary, or always possible, to adhere to the same fixtures in the same district; and if one invariably meets at the cover one intends to draw ? It would be impossible always to do so; indeed it is generally most desirable to avoid such an arrangement, for obvious reasons. The " fixtures" are made by a master of hounds who knows his busi- ness, so as to bring the gentlemen of the country together, with the greatest convenience to themselves, combined with many other necessary and different considerations, the propriety of which can be known only to hisaself. Does " A Woodman" mean to assert that auy of the covers he has enumerated have not been regularly drawn by the Atherstone or other hounds for at least thirty years past ? ( I think Corky and Birchley Hayes were lent to Mr Hellier wheii he hunted North Warwickshire.) Were the Atherstoue Hounds ever advertised to meet at Arley f I think not. Have they met by advertisement at Birchley Hayes during the last dozen or twenty years three times'? Did not they regularly meet at Maxstoke, until Capt Dilke's death three years ago ; and have they not as regularly met at Corley until very recently, when it was found more desirable to end the day, rather than begin it, there ? I will ask " A Woodman" what covers are drawn now by the Atherstone Hounds when they meet atShustoke? Why. allthe Maxstoke woods. This fixture is made for them, and in the course of a Shustoke day I have repeatedly seen every wood he mentions drawn. Will ". A Woodman" oblige your readers by telling them what covers are drawn when " Packington" is the " meet f" Is not Birchley Hayes invari- ably one of the first, and do not the Corley woods often come next ? Do not we trot to Arley from every part of the Wood- lands, aud has it not been eur most favourite and almost only successful draw in that vicinity during the past season t 1 assure you, Mr Editor, that every cover " A Woodman" has mentioned was regularly and most perseveringly jlrawn last season, as it has been every season during my hunting recol- lection ( nearly twenty- five years), and generally under circum- stances the most discouraging to a master of bounds. These circumstances have, however, oeen so forcibly and so truth- fully alluded to lately by your correspondent " Sportsman," that I need not further refer to them. I will, however, say one word about " A Woodman's" description of the past, and his antici- pations for the future. He says: " Some years ago the woods used to be surrounded by guus, and the foxes shot down like wolves, because the hounds never came, and 1 should not be at all surprised if a similar spirit should be again roused in this district," Let " A Woodman" by all means get together all the " guns" he can procure. Let him, if he will, summon every keeper in North Warwickshire to use them. " Surrounding the woods witb guns" alone will scarcely assist him to attain his object. He may then make any arrangement for a battue after the most approved game- killing fashion, and " surround" Birchley Hayes, or any other cover he has mentioned. He must be sure to put the straightest powder he can procure iato his own double barrel, and when all is ready, and when the wood is thoroughly beaten, I give him my word of honour that he is just as likely to see and to bag a brace of wolves as a brace of foxes ; indeed, if he will" meet" about the time of Coventry fair, I think I would rather back the wolves, of the two, to be found. I hope " A Woodtnan" will make the sport he evidently anticipates public. I shall anxiously search your columns to know when he will throw off at Corley. He appears to threaten doing so as the consequence of the Atherstone Hounds having failed to meet there themselves. Joking apart, Mr Edi- tor, there are no foxes in our woodlands, as I have before toK. you, neither can I expect there will be many so long as such friends to the chase as 1 apprehend " A Woodman" to be reside in their vicinity.— Yours, Ac, X Y Z. MR EDITOR : I can also bear testimony to all that your cor- respondent " Sportsman," in his excellent letter of the 30th, has said with regard to the finding of three steel traps in Mr Dug- dale's covers on the last day that the Atherstone Hounds met at tho Oatwoods Gate. I was there aud saw them all three. The one found in Simon Blythe was strong enough to hold a donkey, and the other two were not much smaller in dimensions. I trust that the force of public opinion, if nothing else, will have the effect to awake Mr Dugdale and a few other owners of covers iu the Atherstone country to a sense of their very unneighbourly practice of destroying foxes. To an unreflecting man, whose delight is solely the preservation of game, it naay perhaps seem unreasonable that he should be looked upon with coolness by his hunting neighbours because he destroys foxes in his own covers; but a fox is a roving animal, and delights as much in travelling as any Briton. A large cover bas as irresistible attractions for a fox as Paris, the Rhine, or Rome have for some of us, so that, if traps and other engines beset his path, he has no chance, and the district becomes thinned of foxes for miles round. One would think that the gratification of giving two hundred gentle- men a day's sport by finding a fox for them would be greater than giving half a dozen others a day's shooting; surely that is more pleasing to oneself than destroying foxes, and thereby — gaining a few extra shots at rabbits aud three or four hares— to deprive so many of our friends of the enjoyment afforded by a good run. Nothing could have been more lamentable than that part of the Atherstone country lying between Coleshill and Coventry at the close of last season. For the sake of example, let me imagine a day from", Shustoke; but I will venture to say that, imaginary as my day will be, any one who has kept a hunt- ing journal in that country for the last two or three seasons, aud will only refer to it, will find that something very like what I relate has not only happened once, but many times within the last few years. Well, then, let the meet be at Shustoke; mark 1 Coleshill spire is close to you, if you look down tbe road from Atherstone. We trot off to draw the Shawbrys, a wood of convenient size, and with magnificent lying. Surely nature must have made it on purpose for a fox ! The huntsman draws the cover with care, but a prolonged note on the horn, to coll- ct the hounds, at length proclaims it blank. The Maxstoke covers are the next in our draw, and on this, as OH many other occasions, prove to be without a fox. Quarry Wood and Dale Wood ( in the latter of which, if there is a fox in the country, he is sure to be) are drawn with a similar result to the preceding covers. Birchley Hayes comes next in turn, that cover so celebrated in Mr Viuer's days; but, alas! things are altered since his time, and, unless one of Mr Baker's foxes has come over on a visit, I fear we shall not find. Think of the Atherstone woodlands being de- pendent upon another country for a fox. One of Mr Baker's foxes not being there we must get on to Meriden Shafts, but that is also blank, and in this country Corley is the only cover which remains undrawn, so let us get on and trust to finding there, but it is hoping against hope to expect it. The Corley covers are fine woods, lyiug upon elevated ground, overlook- ing Coventry spires. The woods are steadily drawn, but without finding. So, we have drawn the whole country between Coleshill and Coventry, and without effect. This chain of wood- lands is as fine as any in the midland counties. The covers are of convenient size, the lying in them excellent, and the country between of such a nature that it is rideable in all weathers and intersected with most practicable fences. After drawing Corley, the question is, where are we to go next? It is now late in the day, nearly half- past three ; the hounds are getting weary with drawing and long trots between the covers, the horses and men have had the steel taken out of them. Astley Gorse is at length decided on, but the greater part of the field, being a long way from home, decline going farther. Those that go home from Corley will most likely hear at the meet the next day that the hounds found at Astley Gorse, but that it was too late to do any good, and were soon taken home. Let me observe in this day's draw that I believe Mr Dugdale to be owner of some of the covers, aud I know him to be trustee for the Maxstoke property. From the representations made to Mr Dugdale by his friends, and the correspondence which has taken place in Bell's Life, I trust that he will take into consideration the incalculable mis- chief that has been caused by the system he has pursued of not preserving foxes, not only in his immediate neighbourhood of Bentley Park, but also in the other woodlands, a system which if persisted in must oblige that most excellent master of hounds, Mr Selby Lowndes, to leave, and also preveut any one else from attempting to hunt the Atherstone country, which, I have it on the authority of a very old master of hounds, to be one of the finest in the kingdom.— Yours, & c, R. I. H. MR EDITOR : In answer to " A Woodman's" letter in your paper of the 7th June, I beg to state that I think his opinion of the Woodlands not having been fairly hunted, only shows that he has never been far from his earth. Let me, in the first place, ask " A Woodman" what is the use of hunting a country where it is so well known that there are scarcely any, and in several coverts no foxes ? It is also well known that the foxes were de- stroyed in Corley, and as for Birchley Hayes no one ever thinks of finding a fox there, although the hounds have been there twice this season. Mr " Woodman" must have kept very near his own wood this season, not to know that Arley Woods have been repeatedly hunted, and that Mr Selby Lowndes has had some of his best runs from that covert. If " A Woodman" will only ensure toxes, I can safely say the country will be fairly and properly hunted.— Yours, & c, A WARWICKSHIRE FARMER. THE TIVERTON HOUNDS. MR EDITOR: At a meeting held at the Angel Inn, Tiverton, last week, it was arranged that Mr Frounde Bellew should hunt the Tiverton country next season, lately hunted by Mr T. Carew, who has given up the mastership of the hounds. It was the wish of the Tiverton men that the kennels should be at Colli- priest, but Mr Bellew has decided upon taking the hounds to his own kennels near Dulverton. Mr Bellew hunted the Barn- staple aud North Devon county the last two seasons, but relin- quished the N. D. H. country to Mr Bampfylde at the end of last season, and sold the greater part of his excellent pack to Capt Radcliffe ; however, matters now are looking well for foxhunting in this part of the world. A sum of £ 400 was guaranteed to Mr Bellew, a small sum, indeed, compared with other districts, towards the expenses of the hunt, and other arrangements were made, so that the Dulverton country will be hunted as before, and the Exmoor forest will be hunted by Mr Bampfylde's pack, whose kennels will be at Poltimore and North Molton. John Babbage is re- engaged as huntsman by Mr Bellew.— Yours, & c, HERMIT. THE HEYTHROP HUNT.— The annual Earthstoppers' Feast took place at the Rose and Crown Inn, Charlbury, on Tuesday, June 2, when a large party partook of a sumptuous spread, pre- sided over by Jim Hills, huntsman to the Heythrop Pack. CHANGE RINGING.— On Saturday, the 6th inst, the So- ciety of Change Ringers of Ashton- under- Lyne paid a visit to Wrexham, Wales, and much delighted the good people of that town with ringing in the ancient and splendid tower of the parish church on their fine peal of 10 bells, a true and complete peal of grandsire cators, comprising 5,291 changes, which was composed and conducted by Mr Jas.

On Tuesday a committee of five members of the House of Commons commenced an inquiry as to the cause or causes of the rapid decrease of salmon iu the river Tweed, with a view to remedy the growing evil, and to decide on the merits of two Tweed Fisheries Bills, the one promoted by the Duke of Box- burgh, Lord Polworth, and other proprietors of the upper parts of the river; the other by the " Tweed Shipping Company," manufacturers, and proprietors of the lower portion of Tweed, from Union Bridge to the sea. There are two sets of witnesses to be examined. Those for the lower proprietors to prove that the decrease of salmon, grilse, and trout is to be mainly attri- buted to the upper proprietors; those for the latter to prove that it is entirely caused by the practices of the former, their agents, and tenants. We shall not at present name the counsel engaged on both sides. We caunot, however, re- frain from advising the learned gentleman who opened the case on the part of the lower proprietors, to com- mence studying the question he has to promote and defend, for his address of two hours and a half on Tuesday did not impress us with any high opinion of his knowledge of the Tweed, the laws regulating its fisheries, or of the habits and natural his- tory of the salmon. The committee consisted of Mr Fenwiek, M. P. for Sunderland, chairman ; Mr Pease, Durham ; Mr J. B « Smith, Stockport; Mr Repton, Warwick; and Mr Beachs Hants. Only three witnesses have as yet ( up to Friday) been examined, and we certainly do not set much store by their evi- dence, The first was the agent of the Tweed Shipping Com- pany, acquainted, he said, with the river since 1813. He was of opinion that the chief cause of the decrease of salmon was tha extension of rod- fishing in the upper waters to three weeks beyond the cessation of net fishing. Auglers in those three weeks captured the early and best breeders, and the exten « sion of angling time encouraged poaching. This great natural historian of a witness on cross- examination said it had beeu long, and was now, his opinion that salmon bred in the sea. One little question to this learned, experienced, and consistent witness. If salmon bred in the sea how could anglers catch the early and best breeders on the shallows more than 100 miles from the ocean ? Speak Bezonian ! do tkey return to the sea to breed after having escaped your stell- nets, bag- nets, stake- nets, cairn- nets, and glorious " swinging- bobs?" The witness very candidly avowe$ that the company's net- men caught kelts and baggits— tho former coming down river to go to sea, to grow big and fat on the food they find therein, and the others, poor heavily enceintes mothers, working upwards for the shallows, to multiply their species. Kelts, he said, were sold on the banks, or sent to the Paris market, where they fetched 7d per pound. On the evening of the day of the giving of this evidence Mr Foster White, treasurer of St Bartholomew's Hospital, gave a conversazione in the hall of that institution, during which he or some feather- bed naturalist, told his unfortunate hearers that the artificial breeding of salmon was so successful in France that fine fresh- run fish were sold in its capital at 6d a pound. What strange beings the fishmongers of Paris must be ! They contract with the Tweed Shipping Company aud other of the lower proprietors for tons of kelts— foul, poisonous fish— at 7d a pound, whilst they can pur- chase clean wholesome salmon, bred artificially, for 6d a pound. No, no; they sell it retail at 6d, and the Tweed kelts at Is 6d per lb. Mr Foster White told his wondering audience that young salmon migrated at 12 or 14 months of age to sea, theu weighing three or four ounces— that they returned in six weeks grilse, weighing 14 or 15lb ! A miracle of rapid growth! Did Mr F. W. or any one else ever see a grilse ( a " virgin" salmon, as they daintily call it at the committee)— that is, a salmon in ita second year, before it has spawned for the first time, weighing 14 or I5lb ? Never. The smolt— voung salmon of the age of 13 or 14 months— generally remain at sea three months, and oil immigrating at the end of that period weigh ou an average about 6lb. A smolt sojourning at sea only six weeks, a very rare event indeed, would not weigh 21b. We have captured many grilse, but never any weighing more than 81b. So much, par parentese, for Mr White's knowledge of the growth of salmon. The second witness examined by the committee was Mr George Smith, a Northumbrian gent and proprietor on Lower- Tweed— a dapper little man, with twinkling eye, and with as knowing a look as you would find amongst " thegood people" of Munster, peering at his barrister, then at the short- haud writer, then at the chairman, and then almost derisively at Mr Pease, as if to intimate, though Mr Bright successfully salmon fisked in the Shin, last season, a " friend" could know nothing of salmon beyond those of the Wear, Lord Scarborough's mill- dam and weir, and the information obtainable from the malcontents of the benighted city of Durham— this nice little fellow, whose action, gesticulation, and so forth, was a lovely compound of the Neapolitan, Provencal, Parisian, and Berwick- upon- Tweedian, and who looked a picture, when, in repose, he stuck his thumbs into the arm- holes of his waistesat— answered the first questions put to him, that he was an experienced salmon angler, and was well acquainted with the habits of salmon, but not " profession- ally." He proved this by averring that salmon always travelled up stream by night— between sunset aud sunrise— that they took tbeir siesta in the interval, all day Jong, beneath rocks, in holes and deep pools. Why, if they travelled all night andslept all day, how could they ever get a bellyful ? Ah, silly scribbler! they live on their curd as the polar bear does on his fat. W hat a droll con- tradiction. We have caught hundreds of salmon in the rapids witb a fly all day long, and never one in holes and deep pools, and so late as last year, under a blazing sua. at three, p. m., ia company with Mr Charles Blisset, of Clifton, Bath, and Mr Alec Mackay, of Inveran Inn, we saw scores of salmou and grilse bounding into the current of the " Big Fall" ou Shin, and tra- velling upwards to the spawning ground with visible eagerness. Perhaps the Tweed salmon are uight- walkers. Another intel- ligent Lower Tweed witness said a baggit was a female fish heavy with spawn and was wholesome food. He would not eat a kelt, but he would a baggit. That is to say, he would eat the beef of a cow eight months " gone," but he would not touch that of a mater- familias that had recently calved. Mr Chairman, we trust that you are not a gourmet of this description, and that ia your report to the honourable house, of which you are a very distinguished member, you will neither recommend baggit flesh nor kelt flesh to the palates of legislators. If yeu do, cholera will invade the palaces of Westminster. The inquiry was adjourned from Wednesday to Friday, when a vast deal of evidence was adduced. We shall advert to it here- after. Mr Hogarth, the great tacksman of Aberdeen, in answer to the hon and learned chairman, said the artificial breeding of salmon had been carried on extensively for three years ia Stormontfield ponds, near Perth, without any beneficial result. Robert Temple, a water bailiff— Mr Bell, who was acquainted with the Tay for the last fifty years, in answer to Mr Pease saidE artificial breeding had been attempted in the ponds near Perth for three years without any result as yet. Sic transit ylorice pisciculture, as far as salmon are concerned! CITY INTELLIGENCE.
