Did not Paimer, the Rugeley poisoner, threaten the newspapers, if they dared to allude to the poisonings that were going on at Rugeley, and what came ofitP Why that at least ten persons were murdered. The British Col- lege of Health, New- road, London, therefore most solemnly protest against the verdict returned against the Daily News, as being subversive of the medical liberty of the subject. No medical Inquisition in England. No medical Popery. We, of course, admit that any innocent person, whether professional or not, charged with the crime of poisoning, should have a remedy, and the question resolves itself into this— that so long as deadly pharmaceutical poisons are used as medicines, so long will doctors and others be open to the charge of poisoning, however unjustly; but the idea of preventing comment by the press is a most dangerous prece- dent, as clearly proved in Palmer's case.— Issued by the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New- road, London, June, 1857. FHAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH is the most effective remedy for indigestion, bilious and liver complaints, sick headache, loss of appetite, drowsiness, giddiness, spasms, and all disor- ders of the stomach and bowels; and for elderly people, where an occa- sional aperient is required, nothing can be bett er adapted. For females these pills are truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing headache so veryprevalent with the sex, depression of spirits, dulness of sight, nervous affections, blotches, pimples, and sallownees of the skin, and give a healthy, juvenile bloom to the complexion, Sold by all medi- cine vendors: and by Prout and Harsant, 229, Strand, London.

COCKLE'S COMPOUND ANTIBILIOUS PILLS have long been recognised as a most effectual remedy for indi- gestion occurring in this country, and experience has als « fully justified their use in those continual and violent forms of bilious disorder of too frequent recurrence in hot climates, where the digestive organs, and more especially the liver, are subject to such sudden and irregular in- crease of their'functions, that they often foimthe exciting cause of the fatal endemic fever peculiar to those climates. To Europeans, there- fore, contemplating a residence abroad, and for whose use a mi: d and efficient aperient is required, strengthening the stomach and regulating the secrttion of bile, Cockle's pills are confidently recommended, having now stood the test of public opinion for nearly 60 years.

BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.— At Southwark, on Wednesday, Richard Cotter aud William Jones, two s HI art- looking youug fellows, well- known housebreakers, were charged with breaking into the dwelling- house of Mrs. Margaret Richard- sou, at No. 59, Bland- street, Great Dover- road, and stealing there- from a writing- desk and cellaret. Jones was also charged with committing an outrageous assault upon Mrs Richardson, and threatening to murder her and her servant. The prosecutrix, a widow lady, who exhibited two black eyes and a severe bruise on her forehead, stated that she resided at 59, Bland- street, and on Sunday night the only persons in the house were herself and a female servant, and on tlieir retiring to rest everything was safe in the house. About half- past one on Sunday morning she heard a noise in her room, and saw a sudden flash of light/ Believing that there was a storm coming on, she called out to her servant, " Mary, how it lightens!" Suddenly the light went out, and thea she felt certain that some thieves were in her room. She instantly jumped up, and seized hold of Jones, as he was trying to hide himself under the bed. He turned round upon her, and making use of a fearful oath, said he would murder her if she did not let him go. Jones then struck her two violent blows be- tween the eyes, which nearly stunned her, and she was compelled to let him go. She then heard him and another man leave the house, and immediately afterwards she went- to the street door and admitted a constable. She then found that her house had been entered by forcing a back window, and that the parlours had been ransacked. She missed from the latter the writing- desk and cellaret produced by the police. She did not see anything of the prisoner Cotter until he was brought to her house with Jones, a few minutes after she ad- mitted the police. In the struggle with Jones she pulled out a large quantity of hair from his head, and she must have over- powered him had the servant come to her assistance.— Eliza Santon, a young girl about 1( 3, said she heard her mistress call out to her about the lightning. She instantly got out of bed, and in descending to her own room she saw Jones struggling with Mrs Richardson, who was calling out for assistance. As she was going towards her the prisoner Jones met her in the passage, and seized her by tho throat, telling her that if she re- sisted^ called out he would do for her. She was so struck with terror that she dropped down on the floor, and then he went away and left by the back door. Witness afterwards found a screwdriver under Mrs Richardson's bed, which she handed to the constable.— John Day, No. 187 M, stated that he was on duty in Bland- street, about two o'clock on Monday morning, when he heard a female calling out " Police" and " Murder." He immediately went to No. 59, when Mrs Richardson admitted him into her house, and said that it had been broken into, and that the thieves had attempted to murder her and her servant. Witness entered the place, and being told that the thieves had escaped by the back- door, he climbed over the walls of the adja- cent houses, and found the prisoners concealed in the water- closet at the rear of a house nine doors off. As soon as he saw them they both of them called out, " Don't hurt us ; we'll go quietly with you." Witness, with the assistance of a cabman, took them both into custody, and on searching them he found a key and a candle in pieces, and some lucifer matches in cotton. In the water- closet where he discovered them, were the writing- desk and cellaret, which Mrs Richardson identified as her pro- perty. Both prisoners said that they knew they had done wrong, and they hoped he would not strike them with his staff. — The magistrate asked what was known of the prisoners ?•— Dennis Clark, 108 M, said that Cotter was tried at the West- minster Sessions in April, 1S50, for housebreaking, aud sentenced to twelve months hard labour. Jones was tried aud acquitted for burglary in May last, and they were both connected with a desperate gang of burglars.— The prisoners, who did not deny the charge, or the officer's statement, were fully committed for trial, and all the witnesses bound over to prosecute. The magis trate complimented the courageous conduct of Mrs Richardson, the prosecutrix.

C,; • HEALTH OP LONDON.— The deaths registered last week were 1,005, which was 194 less than the average. The deaths produced by the epidemic class of diseases were 195; the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 264. The mortality of this class is con- siderably less than usual. The reduction is in typhus ( including common fever), scarlatina, aud small- pox. Although the heat ' was excessive, and the mean temperature of last week higher by eight degrees than that of the previous three weeks, the mor- tality from diarrhoea has not yet shown any important increase; the weekly deaths from this complaint during June having been 26, 20, 35, and 33. Besides the 33 of last week, three deaths of children were registered as caused by " English cholera," and " cholera infantum." Hooping- cough, which carried off 46 children, and, in the next place, measles, which carried off 36, are at present the most fatal diseases of the zymotic description. Last week the births of 867 boys aud S05 girls, in all 1,672 children, were registered in London. THE GEEAT EASTERN.— At a meeting of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, on Wednesday, the following report was read :—" 18, Duke- street, Westminster, June 29.— Geutlemen : You are well acquainted with the present state of the ship, and I need hardly enter into any detailed statement on the subject. The hull is completed, and ready to float, with the exception of the sternpost and the work immediately connected with this, and for the completion of which we wait to put the screw and screw- shaft in place, both of which are ready, and lying along- side. The framing of the stern and sternpost, although attended with no difficulties, has proved a more tedious work than had ever been anticipated, but it is now nearly brought to a close. Our principal superintendent in this department of the work, Mr Hepworth, however, considers that it may probably require till the end of next month to complete it. Ey this time the launching ways may be made ready, and the ship may be in a condition to be launched on the following spring tides, should it be deemed advisable. Such of the internal fittings as were ordered by the directors have been proceeded with. Theskylights, companions, staircases, & c, of the forward compartment are nearly ready to fix in place ; with these can be fixed the upper deck, which, affording shelter to the work underneath, will admit of the laying of the decks of the saloons, and of the joiners' work, for which the materials are delivered, being proceeded with. This werk has been accidentally delayed by the want of some \ iron required to complete the boiler, chimneys, and ventilators, which pass through a:: d interfere with the saloons. As regards the machinery, the boilers are all in place, and the steam pipes and other details of those of the paddle- engines are in a forward state. The completion of the screw- engine is delayed only by the want of the second crank shaft, which has been manufactured at the Thames Iron- works, formerly Messrs Mare's, which is, however, nearly finished, and sufficiently so to prove its soundness, and will be delivered, I believe, in the course of this month. In the paddle engines, otherwise com- plete, a serious cause of delay has occurred— a second crank sha; t has proved unsound. I am taking steps to ascertain the best and quickest mode of supplying the deficiency, but I do not think it possible that under the most favourable circumstances this can be done under four months, and until this shaft is re- placed, of course the paddle engine cannot be completed.— I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, ( Signed) I. &. BEUNEL."— The Chairman, in moving that the report be re- ceived and adopted, said that their great ship was the most re- markable specimen of naval architecture that had ever existed; and if, unfortunately, there had been any delay in the success which they had anticipated, the shareholders must remember that they had been receiving 4 per cent interest for their money, though they had received no dividend. The ship, it was found, would stand in the existing proprietors about £ 600,000, which would bring the cost of the ship to £ 24 per ton, builders' mea- surement, which was not at ali a large price for a ship of this construction. He thought their prospects were not quite so melancholy as some persons might have expected they would be. When they could build such a great ship for £ 24 per ton, it was not so bad a bargain, especially as they had had 4 per cent in- terest on their money. The meeting would toe made special to enable the directors to borrow on debentures a sum not exceed- ing £ 100,000, which they thought would be necessary for tha ship and working capital. He then moved that the report be received and adopted. The report was received, and adopted unanimously. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 12, 1857. 5?

Not the same Mac- kinney that rowed lately with Kelly. Nil Desperandum—' We cannot say.

Newell for the championship was one oj the quickest. W D— Foul has not been fair since the time of Macbeth. No. 23— It is not allowed, and the man fouling is distanced. Cymba— At Henley no defeated boat can row again in that race. At the Thames National things are managed differently; a boat which has made a foul ( and therefore to our thinking is beaten) is placed next to the boat it has tbuled, and so may eventually become the winner of the prize in the final heat.

It is somewhat too bad, after the trouble we took so recently, that we should be bothered thus early on these sub- jects. We must refer one and all these questioners to the account of the fight.

However popular the Ballot is outside the walls of the House of Com" mons, it is very unwelcome within their limits. In plain truth, most of the members prefer the gambling chances which fear and corruption may give them, to making an appeal to the good sense and good feeling of the electors. They distrust the people. They must not'wonder should the people return the compliment and distrust them. The nominee system, which now supplies a majority of the House of Commons, would be at an end if the Ballot was properly established. The men composing the ma- jority thus returned are consequently opposed to the establish- ment of what would be fatal to their hopes of a seat in Parlia- ment. And exactly as it is with the nominees so it is with those who nominate them? Whether lord or commoner, the proprietor of a rotten borough or the great landowner of a county sees in the Ballot the destruction of his cherished " influence," and dislikes it aceordingly. It is only those who believe that they would be returned by the free will of the people that desire that will to be really free. They are in a minority in the House of Commons.., The lumbelhng efforts of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in opposition to Mr Berkeley's motion, require no comment. But the speech of Lord John Russell, who stands up as the opponent of this real reform, cannot be passed over without notice. Not that that speech contained any striking argu- ments, or any clever appeals, or even any adroitly applied fallacies. Indeed it is because it was deficient in all these respects that it requires remark. Any one who has been accustomed to think Lord John Russell an able statesman, or even a clever speaker, must be astonished to find how en- tirely destitute of ability is the speech which he has put himself forward to deliver against the ballot. And yet we believe that he has succeeded in persuading himself that he is right in this matter. First his lordship denies intimidation, though he admits " that there is no general election which passes without instances of intimidation taking place, and being brought forward in tkis house." He assumes that the instances thus " brought forward," are all the instances that occur,, He might with much more reason assume that the instances of cruelty to animals, of non- payment of debts, or of act of wrong committed by one person towards another, which are brought before the law tribunals, are all the instances of those things which occur in practice. If hs was to declare that he did assume this to be so every one would laugh at him. His assumption is even less warranted in the other case, first, be- cause in almost every election what has been done by or for one candidate has also been done by or for another; and next, because where that has not been the case, the expense of ex- posing the mischief, and the small chance there is of having it properly visited with punishment, deter nineteen men out of twenty from " bringing it forward" at all. Lord John Russell next sets himself earnestly to work to deny that a voter has a right to give his vote except subject to the same responsibilitv to opinion as the Member of Parliament or ( and here the supposed grandeur of the thing made the subject of comparison seems almost- to overwhelm him) the Minister of the Crown. Every schoolboy who has accomplished the first reading of the first school book on Logic could point out to his lordship the plain distinction between a principal and a delegate. The voter as voter is a principal— the member elected is a delegate— the Minister who performs the administrative duties of the State is less than the delegate; he is the appointed servant of the principals, whose opinions are expressed to him through their delegates. Members and Ministers ( as such) have duties specially entrusted to them to perform, and they are bound to perform those duties subject to public opinion. They are the servants of the public, and must act as the public re- quire, or retire from the service of the public. This is the theory, aye, and the practice too, of the English constitution, as Lord John himself well knows, he having, by appeals to public opinion, when it suited his purpose to make them, com- pelled two Ministries to retire because they did not perform their duties in accordance with public opinion. His comparison will not bear one moment's reflection. The third ground on which he resists th8 introduction of the Ballot is, that in his opinion the people are not in favour of it. If such is his opinion, it must be held in contradiction to all the evidence usually deemed conclusive on suoh a subject. Ho says they are net in favour of it because it is " un- English, m other words, tfcat it is mean, cowardly, base. He does not seem to think that influencing a voter deserves any of these epithets, but attempting to guard a voter against such influence plainly does. This is an odd sort of mode of viewing the subject. It applied to other things, it would lead to the conclusion that guarding oneself against any unlawful injury was mean ana base, while inflicting that unlawful injury on another was alto- gether free from such an imputation. To influence a voter by any other means than that of honest persuasion is unlaw- ful. Yet the attempt to render impossible that which is unlawful meets with Lord John Russell's reprobation. It is in vain to seek'for argument from persons wlia have thus- made up their minds to sustain an existing system which thoy are forced to admit is bad, and to reject an improvement against which they can allege nothing but their own fears and prejudices. A really effective ballot, by giving the means of voting free from unfair influence, would put an end to the attempt to exer- cise that influence ; but with many men now enjoying power, place, and pre- eminence, the employment of that influence gives their only chance of continuing as they are, and with them, therefore, the proposal for the change is hateful.- RAILWAY " ACCIDENTS." The time for these mis- named occurrences seems to have re- turned, and that, too, in a frightful manner. If the accounts of what has happened on the two lines which have been the scenes of so much misery are to be relied on, there has been the grossest negligence, not to say the most wicked recklessness. For the sake of human nature we trust that there are no men so bad as these accounts represent. But if there were at any time men disposed to treat with utter disregard and contempt the limbs and lives of their fellow creatures, they would receive encourage- ment in their bad practices by the certainty of immunity. At the time of that most culpable affair on the Great Northern line we pointed out how the course of proceeding there adopted was but a premium to negligence or something worse. The person inculpated was indicted in a form such as to ensure an acquittal, and an acquittal took place accordingly. The recklessness of personal safety which the continual exposure to danger always generates is not to be curbed in this way; and yet curbed it ought to be. That which is " foolhardy" in an individual must be prevented from being made by him fatal to others, and there is no other mode of attaining this necessary result than that of a strict, a regular, and an unceasing determination to enforce the due observance of rules, and the careful attention to signals that indicate danger and call for the exercise of caution. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER. On Monday evening her Majesty and the royal family, accom- panied by the Prince of Prussia, arrived at Worsley Hall, the seat of Lord Ellesmere, having travelled by the Londou and North Western Railway. On Tuesday morning her Majesty aud party proceeded in state to the Art Treasures Exhibition, aud was greeted by a most extraordinary concourse of spectators. It would be in vain to attempt a calculation of the number of people assembled on the route of her Majesty from Worsley Hall to Old Trafford. The distance is about nine miles, and to say there was half a million of her Majesty's subjects on the line of road, would be a very moderate estimate. There must have been at least that number of people on the route through the two boroughs of Manchester and Salford ( a distance of between four and five miles), besides the scores of thousands assembled on the road from Worsley to Pendleton. Gratifying as was the reception her Majesty received in 1851 on her visit to Manchester, it must be confessed that it has been eclipsed by the proceedings now described. The weather was fine until the Queen entered the building. Some light showers had fallen during the morning, clearing the atmosphere, and rendering the heat less oppressive than for some days previously. There was nothing to prevent the fullest possible enjoyment of which the people were capable under such agreeable circumstances. Prom the time, however, of her Majesty's arrival at the Art Treasures Exhibition there was a succession of heavy showers. It would be difficult to imagine any greater contrast than the scene which presented itself to visitors going to the Exhibition before the Queen's arrival and that which they witnessed on their return. En route to the building every- thing was brilliant and cheerful ; literally hundreds of thousands of people were abroad, and the handsome deco- rations of almost eyery house were new and untarnished. But during the greater part of the time that her Majesty's visit lasted the rain fell in torrents, a keen easterly wind sprang up, aud the aspect of everything was utterly changed. The roads were deep with the softest and most penetrating mud, the out- door portion of the audience were more or less cold and wet, and the devices had under- goneall the changes which an unlimited supply of the pure element naturally works on tinselled and coloured draperies. Nevertheless, the people of Manchester pat the best face upon the matter, and half an hour after the rain had ceased every street and footway was as densely thronged as in the morning. St Anne's- square was particularly crowded, and resembled a kind of muddy Arcadia, of which only a favourable view could be obtained from the surrounding windows, There was no attempt at a general iiiumination, though on the whole there was a fair show of transparencies aud devices in gas and coloured lamps sufficient to keep the people in the streets till near midnight. . It is impossible for us, in our limited space, to give any descrip- tion of the^ ceremonials observed on the occasion of the visit. They were of a similar nature to those practised at similar visits. On Wednesday her Majesty and the royal family paid a strictly private visit to the Exhibition, and remained there nearly four hours. On the way back to Worsley Hall, the Q ueen went through Peel Park, Salford, and inspected Mr Noble's beautiiul statue of herself. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia did not. return direct to Worsley, but, accompanied bv their High- nesses the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, and attended by the Prussian Minister, Count Moltke, and several members of the suite, proceeded to the Town Hall for the purpose of receiving a congratulatory address from the Mayor and Corporation of the city of Manchester. The royal visit to Manchester terminated on Thursday morning, and her Majesty reached London at twenty minutes past three o'clock on thai day. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The galled jades are beginning to wince. French Government is rendered bilious by the exposure of the Prench electoral sys- tem. The Pays and the Patrie have been ordered to praise the French by abusing the English system of parliamentary election. They ask us whether, out of 267 elections, there are more than four opposition deputies elected ? To which we would reply by asking whether it is not true that 86,000 Parisians voted for the Liberal candidates, and 84,000. only for those of the Government; and whether 150,000 did not abstain, and whether nine- tenths of those who abstained were not notoriously hostile to the existing dynasty; whether the prefects have not openly and scanda- lously abused their powers; and whether it is not true that the prefect of the department of the Nord is to be dismissed from his office, and replaced by M Collet Meygret, because he has allowed M Brame to be elected at Lille? NAPLES. News has reached Turin, and was instantly transmitted to London aud Paris, that the steamer Cagliari had been seized by- armed Italian insurgents while on her way from Genoa to Tunis. The insurgents made at once for the island of Pouza, over agai nst Naples, where they landed and liberated a number of prisoners. The steamer was captured by a Neapolitan frigate, and the King's troops were in pursuit of the insurgents. RUSSIA. The Czar is visiting Western Europe. He travels under the incognito (?) of Count Von Borodinsky, and is accompanied by a suite of more than tivo hundred persons, including the servants. Amongst the members of the imperial suite are Prince Gortschakoff, the Minister for Foreign Affairs; Prince Dolgo- roukoff, the Emperor's Adjutant- General; General Filosofoff, and Prince Gagarin, Aides- de- Camp of the Grand Duke Michael; Count Von Adlerberg, the Minister for the Affairs of ; the Im- perial Household, and the Privy Councillor, Dr Von Euochine, Physician in Ordinary to the Emperor. THE UNITED STATES. The city of New York has been agitated by a sort of municipal war. The immediate occasion of this contest was a dispute between the officers of the State Government on the one hand, and the mayor of the city, Mr Fernando Wood, on the other hand, relative to their jurisdiction over the Police and Street Commissioners' departments. There were, in fact, two rival establishments for those services, each trying to impede or destroy the other. General Walker, the filibuster, has had an interview with the President. The President will, it is said, order an inquiry into the facts connected with the conduct of Captain Davis, of the sloop of war St Mary's, while in Nicaragua. It is stated that Walker's admirers at New lork are fitting out a uew expedition for him, and that he has held conferences with them to concert plans for another attack upon Nicaragua. The fate of " Colonel" Crabb and his Californian followers, who were defeated and put to death by the Mexicans in Sonora, is, however, a discouraging example to filibusters. There is to be a Federal force despatched into Utah to assert the power of the Federal Government, and to put down Brig- ham Young and his priestly despotism. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The returns for the year and quarter just ended are of a very encouraging nature ; for although there appears a deficiency of £ 350,000, on the list quarter, it arises from accidental circum- stances. At the beginning of the quarter the reduced rates on tea and sugar took effect, and the proportionate decrease in the amount of Customs should have been no less than £ 300,000. But, owing to the increased consumption of a number of articles, and prin- cipally of those on which the duty has been remitted, there is, instead of a deficiency, an increase on the quarter of £ 280,000. The increase is made upon tea, sugar, coffee, and tobacco; there is a loss of about £ 50,000 on rum and brandy. The increase on the year is £ 472,000, and the fact that so large a part of this is due to the last quarter shows that the improvement in the con- dition of the country has met with no interruption. But it is fair to say that this favourable state of things is to some extent the result of the deliveries of tea, sugar, and coffee having been delayed in order to take advantage of the reduced scale of duties. In the Excise the decrease on the quarter is £ 501,000, or which £ 244,000 is accounted for by a portion of the hop- duty being post- poned until the next quarter. • The reduction of the malt- tax is the cause of the remaining deficiency. When the extra tax Im- posed It? ng the war was remitted it was expected that the re- i alfc 11 uld be a decrease of £ 2,000,000 on the year, and £ 700,000 on the present quarter. But the increase of consumption has replaced more than two- thirds of this anticipated deficiency. The loss on the quarter is only £ 200,000, or, in other words, the duty for three months is half a million sterling more than was counted upon— a striking proof of the well- being of the people, and we think, in spite of the total abstainers, a gratifying result. Not- withstanding reductions, the Excise for the year shows an in- crease of £ 111,222, the amounts being, for the year ending June 30,1856, £ 17,552,778, and for the year ending on Tuesday £ 17,664,080. These figures indicate the great consuming power of our population, and the sums they are content to spend on material indulgences. Thus the increased duty on spirits con- sumed in the three kingdoms is no less than £ 600,000— an amount whick represents a vast sum spent on native aloohol. The Excise would, indeed, have been much greater had it not been for ther epeal of the malt- tax and the missing hop- duty. In stamps the decrease on the quarter is £ 7,000, and the in- crease on the year £ 302,000; the amount brought to the revenue during the year ending Tuesday being £ 7,364,617. The taxes offer nothing worthy of notice, and we next come to the Property and Income- tax, the mainstay of modern Chancellors of the Exchequer, and the best test of the resources of the country. The amount for the quarter ending June 30,1857, was £ 2,455,540, to £ 2,376,751 in the corresponding quarter of last year, making an increase of £ 78,789. For the last year the amount is £ 16,168,723, to £ 15,187,953 in the preceding year, or an increase of not far from a million sterling. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF MAELBOEOUGH.— We have to re- cord the death of this nobleman, which took place at Blenheim, on Wednesday, after a very short illness. His grace was in his sixty- fourth year. He is succeeded by the Marquis of Blandford, who was born ia 1822, and married, in 1843, the Lady Jane Frances Anne Vane, daughter of the late and half- sister of the present Marquis of Londonderry, by whom he has a youthful family of three sons and three daughters. As a member of the Lower House of the Legislature his grace has been distinguished for the introduction of many useful measures for the reform and extension of the Established Church both at home and abroad, and we doubt not that he will prove a valuable addition to the councils of the Upper House. It may not be uninteresting to our readers to be reminded here of the terms upon which the Dukes of Marlborough hold Blenheim from the nation. It was enacted in 1704 that " On every fourth day of August, the anni- versary of the viotory of Blenheim, the inheritors of the duke's honours and titles shall render at Windsor unto her Majesty, her heirs, and successors, one standard of colours, with three fleurs de lis painted thereon, in acquittance of all manner of rents, suits, and services due to the Crown of England." It is by a similar tenure that the Duke of Wellington holds the man- sion of Strathfieldsaye, and in each case the acknowledgment of the royal or national favour is annually paid down to the pre- sent time. THEIOCEAN QUEEN.— On Tuesday intelligence was received at Lloyd's of the shipwreck of the British ship Ocean Queen, of London, on her homeward voyage from Bombay, and the loss of most of her crew, some of whom were left on an uninhabited island in the Mozambique Channel, and it is feared met with death from starvation. The announcement was made in a letter from the commander, Captain Rees, who, with his son and a young midshipman named Hoyle, appear to be the only known survivors of the ship's company. The ship struck upon a shoal in the night of the 3d of March, and several of the crew were lost by the upsetting of a raft, and one of the ship's boats, in attempting to escape. The rest contrived to land on an unin- habited island, with a scanty amount of provisions. On the following morning, the captain, his son, and six menjset sail in a boat to seek for succour. They landed at Sofala in great dis- tress, and boats were sent out to find and relieve the men left on , the desert island; but the search was unsuccessful, and they I were left there to perish. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. REINFORCEMENTS FOE INDIA.— The public hardly requires to be informed that no time has been lost in taking adequate sveps to provide for the unfortunate condition of affairs in the Bengal army. The day the official despatches were delivered there was a meeting of Cabinet Ministers. A lengthened con- sultation of the Directors of the East India Company also took place, and before the announcement upon the subject had been ™ aae Parliament the telegraph was actively at work in different directions. Fortunately, before the arrival of the last two or three mails from India a considerable body of her Ma- jesty g troops were under orders for embarkation. As long ago as December last four infantry regiments— the 23d, 82i, 90th ana 83d— were placed under orders to relieve two regiments— tne loth and 29th— whose term of service had been completed, ana to fill up the deficiency in the Indian establishment, caused oy the return to this country of two more regiments during the Crimean war, which reduced the numbed Queen's infantry corps in the Presidencies from 24 to 22. The events at Hons Kong, however rendered it necessary to change the immediate destination of the four regiments we have named from India to China, it being intended that as soon as their work in the latter region had been completed they should return to India for the tour of duty for which they had been originally designated. But as soon as our accounts from China became of a graver character it was determined not to leave the Indian army without rein- forcements for the uncertain time during which the Chinese hostilities might continue; and, in consequeuce, four more regi- ments of infantry were placed under orders to take the duty allotted to those now on their way to China. Accordingly, some weeks since the 7th Fusliers, 60th Rifles ( 3d batt), 88th Regt, and Rifle Brigade ( 3d batt) were warned for service in India. At the same time the 2d and 3a Regiments of Dragoon Guards were de- tailed to relieve two other cavalry corps— the 14th Light Dragoons and 9th Lancers, who, having been out since 1841 or 1842, ought to be relieved about this time. All these regiments have received their increased establishment, and ships are readv for their conveyance to the East. At this season large drafts are usually sent from the depot at Chatham to all the Indian regiments for the purpose of keeping up their strength to the full establishment. These drafts will this year amount alto- gether to about 3,000 men, averaging from about seventy or eighty to 250 to each regiment. The force, therefore, which commenced embarking on Thursday morning may be thus esti- S?: ™ Dragoon Guards, 700 men; 3d Dragoon Guards, 700; 7th Fusiliers, 1,000; 60th Rifles ( 3d Battalion), 1,000; 88th Regi- fnnn' M0? 5^ 9 l3d Battalion), 1,000; Drafts about 3,000; total, 8,400. If we add the 64th and 78th Regiments which have before this arrived at Calcutta, we shall have already we may say, on their way a force of 10,000 men. On Tuesday evening, however, there were also placed under orders the 1st Battalion of the 1st Royals at Dublin, the 19th Regiment at Portsmouth, the 38th Regiment at the Curragh, and the 79th Highlanders at Dublin, making altogether an additional force of 4,000 men, or a total augmentation of the European troops in India of 14,000 men, A portion of this force is, strictly speaking destined to relieve regiments whose period of service has ex- pired; but those regiments will be kept at hand until all occa- sion for their services shall have ceasud, and thus every man gomg out is an actual addition to the Indian army. We may add that all officers in the Company's service now on leave are ordered immediately to rejoin their regiments, the only excep- tions being tnose whose health actually incapacitates them from service in India. It will thus be seen that the measures taken by the Government at home to reinforce General Anson are as prompt and vigorous as could be wished. The embarkation of the Rifles commenced on Thursday on board the Barham Indiaman. THE 8STH REGIMENT.— The 88th Coanaught Rangers were presented with new colours on Friday at noon, on Southsea Common, Portsmouth, by Lieut- General Sir W. J. Codrington K. C. B., M. P. The regiment is under orders to embark on the 9th, 15th, 17th, and 22d inst in four transports for India imperial parliament. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, DEATH OF CAPTAIN- HILLIEE.— Capt Curry William Hillier ( 1851), on the retired list, died at Stroud on the 28th ult, in the 80th year of his age. He was one of the last of the " glorious first of June" officers, and his career was a most gallant one. APPOINTMENTS.— Commander Gabriel Johnstone ( 1854), who was promoted for his able services in the Black Sea, has been appointed additional to the Eagle, Coast Guard ship, at Fal- mouth. Paymasters: William Dyer ( 1839), formerly secretary at Devonport, has received his official appointment as secretary to the new commander- in- chief at Sheerness; T M.

Grest, to the Ganges. MOVEMENTS OF SHIP3 OF WAE.— The gun- boats Jaseur and Jasper went down to Greenhithe on Saturday week, from Wool- wich, in charge of Lieut- Commander John B. Field and crew of her Majesty's steam- vessel Locust, and have been adjusted in order to proceed to Portsmouth in preparation for foreign ser- vice. The sailing- frigate President, 50, Capt Frederick, arrived at Spithead on Sunday, from the Pacific station, to be paid off. She sailed from Callao Feb 28, Valparaiso March 28, and Rio May 12, on which latter day the Retribution, 28, Capt Barker, left Rio for the Pacific, after towing the President out of the river. She met with heavy weather off the Horn and Falklands, and has fore and main yards carried away, and waist nettings, & e. She brought 39 invalids from the Pacific and Rio squadrons. The screw steam gun- vessel Pioneer, 6, Commander George P. Mends, from the North America and West India station, put into Plymouth Sound on Sunday morning, short of fuel, and, having coaled, sailed aga n for Portsmouth, where she will be paid off. The Arab, 12- gun sloop, Commander Richard B. Pearse, arrived at Sheerness on Monday from the North America aud West India station. An Admiralty order arrived at Sheerness on Saturday week for the Ganges, 84- gun ship, to be commis- sioned for sea, and to have a complement of 720 in crew. The order is to fit her for the reception of a flag officer, with accom- modations for an admiral and his officers. An extra number of artificers were put on her immediately. The Cossack, 21, has arrived at Sheerness from the West Indies; she will be paid off. HOUSE OP LORDS. MONDAY.— THE BENGAL ARMY.— The Earl of EIUEN- BOEOU& H adverted to the disaffection which had broken out among the native regiments of the Bengal army, and inquired what measures the Government were about to take to crush tho revolt, and punish the rebels. He remarked at much length upon the gravity of the pending crisis, and pointed out the measures both of prevention aud repression, which, in his opinion, should be adopted by the authorities in India and the home administration. The present position of our affairs in our oriental empire he considered to be fraught with heavy peril, exhorting the cabinet to be prepared for every emergency, even to the extent of embodying the militia, and placing the j country under arms.— Earl GEANVILLH deprecated unnecessary alarm, aud refused to express any opinion as to the conduct of officers or the causes of the mutiny in the absence of despatches from the spot. Prompt and energetic measures had, he was assured, been taken to suppress the outbreak of disaffection, which as yet appeared confined to only a few localities and a small section of the native Bengal troops. Considerable Euro- pean forces were at hand, and the native princes had placed their contingents at the disposal of the Governor- General. With regard to the home preparations, Lord Granville stated before the late intelligence arrived, four new regiments and recruits to the corps already in India, amounting altogether to 10,000 men, were under orders " for the East, and four more regiments had since been ordsred to prepare for con- veyance thither. A large force, liberated by the conclusion ef peace with Persia, had also returned to Bombay, and were, when the last despatches left, on their way to Calcutta, whence Lord Canning had written home under a sanguine expectation of being able to announce very shortly that the disturbances were allayed and tranquillity perfectly restored.— Lord BEOUGHAM inquired as to the symptoms shown, or apprehen- sions felt, in the other presidencies of Madras and Bombay.— Earl GRANVILLE referred, in answer, to the last quotations of the Bombay money market, where Government stocks had not experienced the slightest decline. TUESDAY- SLAVERY.- Lord BROUGHAM drew attention to the rumours afloat that the importation of free negroes from Africa was to bs allowed, not only into the French and Spanish, but also into the British West Indies. He could only look upon such a proceeding as t'his as the slave trade in disguise, and the rumour had created great uneasiness amongst the supporters of emancipation.— The Earl of CLARENDON said that he could not speak as to the intentions of foreign Governments, but ho did not believe that any of them contemplated the revival of the slave trade. With respect to the British Government, he could assure their lordships that it would never sanction any plan having the remotest approach to the old system of slavery, THURSDAY — The ADULTERERS' MARRIAGES BILL, the object of which was to confine the marriages of the adulte- rous parties simply to a civil contract, was thrown out on the second reading. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— THE MILITARY DISTURBANCES IN BEN- GAL.— Mr DISRAELI urged queries respecting the military dis- turbances in Bengal, and adverted, among other subjects for anxiety, to a report that the Governor- General had resigned, and that much variance existed among the authorities on the spot.— Mr V. SMITH, in reply, entered into explanations of similar tenor to those given by Lord Granville in the Upper House, He declared the report of Lord Canning's resignation to be totally unfounded. All the chief authorities, military and civil, in India were working in perfect concert. The Governor- General had expressed the highest approbation of the skill and energy shown by the functionaries of every grade. From the measures taken he expected soon to hear that Delhi was recap- tured, and the mutineers condignly punished. Reinforcements to the number of 10,000 men would be despatched to India, by the middle of July, aud the Company had asked for 4,000 more, who would follow speedily afterwards. As to the causes of mu- tiny, he could not as yet form any conclusion. None of the alleged motives arising from fears of proselytism, affronts to the spirit of caste, or changes among the regimental officers, seemed sufficient to accouut for the disaffection among the native soldiery. On this point further information must be waited for. — The subject then dropped. CIVIL SERVICE SUPERANNUATION.— Mr RICH called attention to the report of the commissioners on the Superannua- tion Act, recommendiv. g an immediate increase of £ 70,000 in the salaries of the civil servants of the nation, with a prospec- tive increase of £ 30,000 more. This augmentation he main- tained to be unnecessary, and hoped the house would refuse to sanction the report.— Lord NAAS remarked that he had himself given notice of a bill on the subject, and complained that his measure should have been forestalled.— Lord J. RUSSELL hoped that a final decision on the subj ect of superannuation in the civil service would not be long delayed.— This subject then also dropped.— The house went into committee of supply, and the remainder of the sitting was chiefly occupied in miscellaneous discussion of votes belonging to the Civil Servioe Estimates. TUESDAY.— THE BALLOT.— Mr H. BERKELEY moved for leave to bring in a bill to Qause the votes of the parliamentary electors of Great Britain and Ireland to be taken by way of ballot. The hon member said that Lord Palmerston had pro- mised a reform bid next year, but he had not promised that the ballot should form any portion of it, and could not expect that, like Aaron's rod, his should swallow up the rival rods of all other political conjurors. Still, if he should receive an assurance that the ballot was to be adopted by the Government, he would willingly forego his motion. He then entered at great length into the usual arguments in favour of vote by ballot, illustrating the disadvantages of the present system by many former as weil as modern instances, and said that no reform bill couid be final or satisfactory without the adoption of pretection for the voter. — Sir J. SHELLEX supported the motion, as did Mr GREEN.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed it, and on a division it was negatived by 25" to 189, SUPERANNUATION.— Lord NAAS moved for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the 27th section of the Superannuation Act of 1834. The noble lord stated the history of the superannuation system up to 1834, when the act he complained of was passed, the real object of which was to reduce the public expenditure, under the pretence of creating a superannuation fund. It was said that if there was any hardship in the act, the civil servants would at the time have complained of it; but as the act reserved the rights of all officers appointed prior to 1829, the consequence was there were but very few who were affected by this measure. Now, however, the case was different, aud the act was univer- sally condemned by all the civil servants who subscribed to the fund. The noble lord also pointed out the inequalities in the pensions, which made the whole system still more liable to ob- jection, and said that only one in seven of the subscribers to the fund received the smallest benefit from it. The question had at one timebeen referredtoaroyalcommission, which recommended the abolition of this tax on civil servants of th" p ublic, without any corresponding decrease of their salaries, and it was to carry outthis recommendation that he proposed the repeal of the27ih clause of theact.— MrT. HANREY seconded the motion— The? HANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEE opposed the motion, and said it would be no hardship, for every civil servant who entered since 1829 was fully aware that he accepted his position with an annual deduc- tion of 24 per cent, if his salary was under £ 100 per annum, and 5 per cent if over that amount. With such an ample notice be- fore them those servants had no right HOW to turn round and say they were hardly dealt with because of reductions of which they were quite aware belore accepting their position.— Sir F. BAKING said the question was a most important one, and could not be discussed that night. He, therefore, hoped the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer would accede to the introduction of the bill in order that it might be discussed.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would accede if it was to be distinctly under- stood that it was not agreed to be brought in with the principle undisputed.— Leave was then given to bring in tho bill, WEDNESDAY. — THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.— Mr HEADLAM moved the second reading of the Medical Profession ( No. 1) Bill. The main feature of this bill which distinguished it from Lord Elcho's with the same title ( the next upon the orders of the day) was the institution of a General Council of Medical Educationand Registration, to consist of persons chosen by the medical and surgical colleges of the united kingdom, cer- tain medical societies, and the universities, with six persons to be named by the Queen ; the regulations of this council in re- spect to examination of candidates and registration to be carried out by branch councMs.— Mr CEAUFUED moved to defer the second reading for six months. He contended that this bill sacrificed too riuch to the interests of the medical corporations, perpetuating an objectionable system ; and that it was impossi- ble that the proposed general council could work satisfactorily. Lord Elcho's Bill ( which proposed to establish a Medical Council, to consist of the President of the General Board of Health and twelve members to be nominated by the Crown for a term) did not sweep away the corporations, but provided that the giving a title to; practise should not be confined to these bodies, and that the candidates should be subject to approval by examiners no- minated by the Medical Board ; the framework of this bill being similar in other respects to Mr Headlam's Bill.— The debate which ensued turned chiefly upon the comparative merits of what were considered to be the principles of the two bills— the one proposing a representative, the other a nominee council. Mr Headlam's Bill was preferred by Lord Bury, Mr Hatchell, Mr Grogan, Mr Neate, Mr Vance, and Mr Briscoe; Lord Elcho's by Mr E wart, Mr Black, and Mr Blake; while Colonel Sykes and Mr T. Duncombe opposed both bills. Eventually the liousa divided, and the second reading was carried by 225 to 78. THURSDAY.— EDUCATION OF SOLDIERS.- Mr WARREN called attention to a general order, issued on the 19 ihof June by the Commander- in- Chief, directing that every soldier after being dismissed from drill should attend school, as a duty, until re- ported upon as sufficiently advanced in reading, writing, and arithmetic.— Sir J. B AMSDEN admitted that such an ordor had been promulgated, but upon re- consideration was modified into a simple recommendation to the commanding officers, inviting them to exercise every influence in their power to promote edu- cation among the soldiers. THE STATE OF THE THAMES.— Mr MANGLES com- plained of the disgraceful state in which the Thames was al- lowed to remain, and which he characterised as equally dis- gusting to sight and injurious to health.— Sir J. SHELLY and other members having urged questions on the subject, Sir B. HALL explained that the main drainage scheme approved by the Metropolitan Board of Works had been submitted to three engineers of great experience whose report thereon was, he believed, nearly ready, and would be immediately laid before Parliament. FRIDAY.— The proceedings of this evening in both houses were intecesting; but such is the extraordinary pressure upon our columns, that we are debarred from giving even an outline of them THE MUEDEE OF ME LITTLE.— Spollen, the alleged mur- derer of Mr Little has undergone several examinations at the Dublin police court, and has been remanded until Thursday next. At the last examination a razor was produced with Spollen's name upon it which had been found at the bottom ol the canal, where Mrs Spollen had stated the razor was thrown after the commission of the murder. In Mrs Spollen's statement relative to the manner in which the murder was committed sht says that on the evening of the 13th of November last her hus- band was laying in wait in the corridor at about seven o'clock, He was not long there when Mr Little came out of his office and went into the water- closet which adjoins the cash office. After he had done so her husband slipped into Mr Little's room aud concealed himself behind the counter. Mr Little returned in a short time and locked the door on the inside and then went to his chair and sat down. At this part of the narrative Mrs Spollen says her husband observed:—" I had nothing for it then but to finish him." She further says, that after having effected his escape by a window and along the roof of the terminus, he brought the money which he had taken from Mr Little's office home with him in a bucket. He obtained a long ladder, a ham- mer, and an iron holdfast, and ascended by the ladder to a chim- ney in the old locomotive sheds, the flue of which was curved, which would prevent any person lookingup it observing anything which might be placed in the top of it. He secured the holdfast across the flue and placed the bucket containing the money upor it. The money remained in this place for several days, when h< removed it to the places in which it was discovered. The state ment made by Julia Spollen relative to the piece of cloth ir which some of the money has been found wrapped up, and whicl she said she had got from her aunt to make a bonnet, has beer corroborated, as the aunt of the child was examined, and identi fled the piece of cloth as that which she had given her niece foi the purpose above stated. SUMMEE MEDICINE.— The languor, lassitude, debility, and want of energy produced in some constitutions by extreme oi sudden warmth of temperature, though unaffected by ordinarj tonics, are almost invariably removed by Dr de Jongh's Lighl Brown Cod Liver Oil, which restores tone and vigour te the system. The effects described by the most eminent medical authorities are, a speedy improvement in the nutritive and re- productive system, a revival of the natural appetite, restoration and regularity in the functions of digestion and assimilation, and entire recovery of health and vigour, even in tha most feeble and deteriorated constitutions. Dr de Jongh's Oil is sold only in imperial half- pints, 2s 6d ; pints, 4s 9d; quarts, 9s; capsuled and labelled with his stamp and signature, without which none can be genuine, by Ansar, Harford, and Co, sole British con- signees, 77, Strand, London; and in the country by most respectablle ckemi& ts. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT LINE. On Sunday night last a dreadful collision, which caused the deaths of 11 persons, and which has inflicted injuries more or less serious on upwards of 30 others, occurred a few minutes before eleven o'clock, between the Blackhcath and Levvisham stations. The Sunday traffic on the North Kent Railway is very heavy, and for the necessary accommodation of persons return- ing from Gravesend aud other places of holiday resort, it is usual to run two late trains at short intervals— at 9: 15 p. m. and 9: 30 p. m.— from Strood to London. This liueofraiiway is worked on Tyer's electric signal system, the simple explanation of which is, that the station- master at one station must not allow a coming train to pass before the last departed train has been telegraphed clear of the next station. This system properly carried out would prevent the possibility of accident. It appears that the 9: 15 train from Strood left at the time appointed for its depar- ture, aud passed through Blackheath tunnel without anything having occurred to arrest its progress, but on nearing the Lewisham station, which is only one mile from Blackheath, the driver found the signals against him, and pulled up the train just before coming to the platform. The signals were kept on, and the second guard was sent back with his red lamp to prevent the possibility of the ex- pected 9: 30 p. m. up train coming upon them. Several pas- sengers alighted, but the large majority, observing the pre- cautions whieh had been taken, kept their seats in fancied security, until suddenly, aud without more than a few seconds warning, the 9: 30 p. m. train was heard rushing towards them. Before any movement of the standing train could be effeeted by its own engine- driver, the coming train ran into violent collision with it. The effect was perfectly frightful. The engine of the 9: 30 p. m. train struck the break van of the 9: 15 p. m.* train with a force so great that it lifted the ponderous machine off the rails to a level with the body of the next carriage— an open third cliiss, filled with passengers— along which it swept, doubling up and crushing to death almost all the unhappy occupants, and seriously injuring those who escaped with their lives. For a few moments the energies of all the persons near the station were completely paralysed by the horrsrs of the scene; but as soon as the dreadful character of the accident was ascertained assistance was sent for, and the best means at hand were adopted to extricate the wounded aud the dead. MrEborall, the manager of the South Eastern Railway, who resides at Lae Park, was soon on the spot, personally directing the exertions of a large number of labourers and others, who had been pressed into the service at the moment the accident occurred. The sufferings of some of the injured persons are described to have been most excruciating, until death put an end to their pain. One man, who is stated to have been nearly severed in twain, sustained existence three hours. The medical men for miles round were summoned to the spot, and they gave all the relief i n their power to the cases, recommending such as it seemed best to be sent on to St Thomas's Hospital, ana doing what was needful for others. I'ke greater part of the passengers killed and wounded were in the last carriage of the 9: 15 p. m. train, which was an open third class. Many persons in other carriages were much bruised and shaken, but it is believed that all the fatal and serious cases oc- curred in the last carriage, of which, after the collision, merely the floor framework remained entire. Comparatively lew of the carriages were broken, and not more than three or four left the rails. As soon as the dead and injured were removed from off the line Mr Eborall, with Mr Knight, superintendent of the railway, proceeded to inquire into the cause of the accident, and after a careful investigation, Mr Eborall felt it his duty to give the driver of the 9; 30 p. m. up train, and Edward Whiffen, stoker, into custody on the charge of having neglected their duty in driving an engine and train of passengers past the danger signal at the Lewisham station. The following is a list of the killed :— John Ballinger, 31, Shaftesbury- place, Aldersgate- streat, car- pet- bag maker. Elizabeth Ballinger, his wife. Edith Balliuger," their daughter, aged nine months. Horatio Turner, 56, Brook- street, Lambeth, aged 18. Thomas Turner, 7, Ss Mary- at- Hill. ( The above are brothers, and sons of a Mrs Turner, who now lies in the hospital.) Thomas^ Franklin, 15, Great Maze Pond, son of one of the dressers at St Thomas's Hospital. Mrs Wilcox, and Mary Anne Howe her sister. William Nightingale, of 7, Bream's- buildings, Chancery- lane, and Thomas Dalton, of Aldenham- streat, St Pancras. Tho wounded, lying also at the Plough Inn, all dangerously injured, are— Jacob Hale, of North- street, East- street, Woolwich. Mary Lorth, of Hart- street, Bloomsbury. James Poland, of Travalo House, Gravesend. James Akers, of 7, Francis- street, New Town, Deptford. The following were brought on to London, and are lying in St. Thomas's Hospitals- Sarah Ann Bovkett, widow, of 56, Brook- street, Lambeth. Very much contused about the head and face. This case is con- sidered dangerous. Dinah Webb, of 9, Peter- street, Sun- street, Bishopsgate. Fractured legs. Robert Colins, boot closer, 36, Crown- street, Finsbury. Both legs injured, ribs broken, and body bruised. Nathaniel Kettle, shoemaker, of Warwick- street, Pimlico. Very much hurt in abdomen. George H. Restell, of 4, Fenchurch- buildings, City. Leg and arm fractured. Ferdinand Batcher, framemaker, of 22A, College- street, Bromp- ton. Head contused, and legs much hurt. William Robinson, oilman, of 4, Crown- place, Walworth. In- cised wound ewer the nose, aud both knees injured. The following, who had been brought on to St Thomas's Hos- pital, after having their wounds dressed, were, by their own wish, conveyed home in cabs :— Mary Reynolds, of 46, Red Lion- street, Clerkenwell. Back of head injured, aud left leg hurt. Alfred Dawion, jun, of the George Inn, Borough. Severe cut over the eyebrow, contused hands, and legs bruised. John Tims, of 19, Hinds- street, Deptford. Injury across the loins, head and legs contused. Henry Bouruer, of 13, Cauterbury- tarrace, Dover- road, Bruised arm aud cut fingers. George Cloves, of 12, Southampton- street, Nina Elms. In- jured in both legs, James Hood, bookkeeper, of Catherine Wheel Inn, Borough. Legs much injured. John Osven, of Dartford. Injury to ankle. Ada Keene, of 5, Little Mitchell- street, Ironmonger- row, St Luke's. Beth legs injured. Charles Head, coachpainter, of 1, Tennis- place, King- street, Borough. Injury to chest and knees. William Pigeon, of King- street, Borough, Face much cut, bruised knee, and sprained ankle. George Collins, of 3, Friendly- court, Old Kent- road. Fac « cut. Mr Nelson, the station master, has Mrs Kettle, the wife of one of the sufferers in St Thomas's Hospital, at present in his house, Mr John Poland, an artificial florist, of Mount- street, White- chapel, and three other gentlemen— viz, Mr Search, Mr Hart, and Mr Akers— are so seriously hurt that they remain at Mr Morris's, the Plough Inn. Thomas Perry and Edward Whiffen have undergone several examinations before Mr Traill at Greenwich police- court. On Thursday, Abbott, head guard of the 9: 30 train, deposed that he had seen the danger signal when the train passed the first bridge from Blackheath, and instantly applied his break, and while doing so heard a single sharp whistle from tho engine. According to the code of regulations the whistle would be for a signal to the station. The signal for applying the break i3 a succession of whistles of a tremulous sound. There were two breaks in the train. There was also a break to the tender of the engine, in charge of the fireman. He could not say whether either of the other breaks was applied at the same time as his. From the time he first saw the signal there would not be time to pull up the train at the distance signal. When he saw the red light he put on the break. He put| his head out of the win- dow, and saw what he took to be a red light at the tail of the train in advance. If a proper look out had been kept, these lights ought to h& ve been seen long before he saw them by the driver and fireman, and in that case the driver would have had time to pull up at the distauce- signal; and as soon as the red ght was seen by the driver he ought to have given witness the sig- nal to apply the break. The distance aud station signals were both seen by them. Just after applying the break, and between the two bridgss, he heard a whistle, like that of a person whistling with his mouth and fingers. At the time of the colli- sion the train was travelling at about eight or ten miles an hour. The collision took place inside the distance signal. Be- fore leaving Blackheath he heard no signal passed to Mr Chap- man, the station- master, by anyone. From evidence given by Mr Chapman, station- master at Blackheath, and Mr Nelson, station- master at Lewisham, there seemed to be a suspicion that the signalmen at the respective stations had neglected their duty and not telegraphed the arrival and departure of the trains. The result was that they were given into custody, to be examined with the other prisoners; their names are John Griffiths and David Wild. THE DRAMA. PRINCESS'S THEATEE.— On Wednesday " The Tempest" was revived at this house with that success which invariably attends Mr Kean's efforts in favour of the legitimate drama. The prin- cipal characters were cast as follows :— Prospero, Mr C. Kean ; Miranda, Miss C. Leclercq ; Ariel, Miss Kate Terry ; Caliban, Mr Ryder ; Stephano, Mr F. Matthews ; Alenso, Mr Cooper ; Trinculo, Mr Harley. In the stage arrangements, Mr Kean has, of course, made several innovations. The indefinite " strange shapes" who bring in the banquet to the King of Naples and his lords are at the Priacess's represented by nymphs, dryads, satyrs, and other mythological personages, and the act, instead of falling tamely upon the flight of Alonso and his friends, now finishes with a riotous bacchanalian dance, arranged with that grace aud elegance which have won renown for Mr Oscar Byrne. We have been accustomed to hear the beautiful " Come unto these yellow sands," and " Where the bee sucks," warbled forth by the dainty Ariel ( and what playgoer who has attained thirty years does not recollect the glorious ringing voice of Miss P. Horton in these melodies) ? but Miss Kate Terry, the pre- sent representative of the character, does nothing; so that to an invisible chorus, the solo parts of which are delightfully rendered by Miss Poole, is devoted the task of interpreting these melodies, Mr Kean's revision of the text does not differ much from the acting edition, which is, however, slightly modified in some parts to give time and opportunity for the introduced effects. Accuracy of historical detail has hitherto been his forte, his supers, banner- bearers, guards, peasants, citizens, have been clad from head to heel in the exact cos- tumes of the time, an enormous number of persons has been simultaneously on the stage, spirited tournaments and noisy processions have, in their turn, delighted the audience, who, by the manager's taste and liberality, have been transported into the middle ages, and had the details of their every- day life presented to them. In the " Tempest," however, there is no such opportunity for display, and what opportunity there is for elegance and grace, floating fairies, gradually dissolving scenes, aud ascents and descents of mythical personages, has already been made use of to the greatest extent in the " Winter's Tale" aud the " Midsummer Night's Dream." The general public, however, appeared to have forgotten any previous triumphs in the same house, and thundered applause at the principal points, which may be briefly enumerated as follows:— The ship in the storm, in act 1, an admirably contrived piece of mechanism ; the rocky Fingal's Cave- like " interior of the island," in act 2; an admirable set scene, with a cut wood, in act 3, dissolving into an undulating plain, covered with luxuriant vegetation ; the Masque and Descent of Juno, in act 4; and the final de- parture of the ship at the end of act 5, which last effect, with Ariel hanging in mid air, and bidding farewell to her late master, is one of the most beautiful bits of scenic illusion we have ever looked upon. The acting was excellent throughout. As Prospero Mr Kean has but little to do, but he looked dignified, and declaimed his speeches sensibly and well. Miss Leclercq was a charming Miranda, Miss Bufton a spirited Ferdinand, and Miss K. Terry, the sprightliest and quaintest of Ariels. The comic parts were excellently sustained by Mr F. Matthews and Mr Harley; while Mr Ryder's make- up and acting as Caliban were thoroughly indicative of the true artist. Several truly important improvements have recently been patented by the proprietors of the St Pancras Iron Works, having for their object the more effectual protection of the horse while in the stable. These improvements have been adopted in their entirety by the Royal Veterinary College, and Professor Spooner ( the eminent head of that institution) testifies in eulogistic language to then- immense usefulness to all proprietors of racing, hunting, and other stables, and adds of the " swing manger" that it is admirably calculated to prevent that per- nicious vice termed crib- biting. THE MUEDEE AT CHINGFOED HATCH.— An adjourned inquest was held on Monday on the body of Mary White, the woman murdered on the 21st. The coroner said that as the medical man had not made a sufficient examination of the body he should again adjourn the inquest for that purpose, and gave an order for the exhumation of the remains. Notices were circu- lated offering a Government reward of £ 100 for the apprehen- sion of Jonathan Greydon, charged with the wilful murder of Mary White, at Chingford Hatch. He is described as follows : — Five feet nine inches high, fair, light small sandy whiskers, has several boils on his neck, and is ruptured on the left side. He- was discharged from Springfield gaol on the 16th, when he was dressed in black, but has since been seen in a blue striped smock, and a cap with a peak. LITERATURE. The Public School Matches, & c. Tips and Do tens of a Pub• lie School. Paddyland. [ Messrs Cash, 5, Bishopsgate- street.— In tke small, neat, blue] volume, containing the three clever sketches headed as above, we recognise an © Id friend with a new face— the artist being Mr Frederick Gale, an old Winchester man, and up to this point an anonymous author. Possibly no book, having similar aims, has ever been attributed to so many different persons as these small brochures, and in his preface to the first edition of the Ups and Downs ( which has not been expunged from the new edition) the author statss the amuse- ment it has frequently afforded him to have the name of the " real author" imparted to him confidentially. We presume that this amusement has become stale, as Mr Gale has now very wisely, as we think, put his own mark on the book, which we heartily wish all the success it merits. The sketch of the Public School Matches at Lord's has acquired a double interest now that the heads of the scheols have, in the plenitude of their wisdom, put a stop to the most popular matches of the London season. We do not pretend to be more clearsighted than our neighbours, hut we cannot take our leave of Mr Gale without recording our impression that, in addition to the paternity o£ the volume under review, we have at length discovered the author of many admirablel etters on the school crickets, which from time to time have anonymously appeared in our paper.

DEAR SIR: I beg to acknowledge your letter of the 1st July, asking me for my opinion upon the merits of the decision of the Newcastle Stewards with reference to the Members' Plate. As this decision may be hereafter quoted as a precedent which in my opinion is adverse to racing laws and customs, and there- fore very detrimental to the interests of the Turf, I shall express my sentiments fully on the three points which the Stewards have misunderstood. First— With respect to the starter starting the horses for the Plate before the time indicated on the card to the exclusion of Merlin, it must be clearly understood that the jockeys were ordered to start by the constituted authority under the sanction of the Stewards; that they had no power to remonstrate ; they were assembled to obey the order of the starter; and that HO conspiracy to exclude Merlin could be proved against the starter. During 150 years there must have been many instances of horses being started before the exact time ( which is not calculated from Greenwich); but in the records of the Turf I can find no prece- dent for ordering such races to be run a second time. Under these circumstances, although I acknowledge the power of the Stewards of Newcastle to declare the race " a false start,' should not have dared to establish a precedent which may here- after be fearfully abused. Secondly— TheStewards, after deciding that the race should be considered a false start, ordered it to be run after the last race in the programme, This was an extraordinary mistake, because after the time for running each race has been officially fixed, no change could be made without the unanimous consent of every horse owner who had an engagement. Thirdly— The Stewards declared all bets off after the false start. This was beyond, their jurisdiction, and in direct vio- lation of Jockey Club law. They must have known that when jockeys are called upon by the starter to take their places, the owner of every horse is considered liable to pay his whole stake, and all bets respecting such horses shall be considered Play or Pay, even on non- P. P. races. This rule— No 40— was enacted to prevent roguery, and to place the layers and takers of odds on an equitable footing. I am curious to discover on what ground, and by what au- thority, the Newcastle Stewards lay down their injunction to negative bets ? The Stewards of the Jockey Club never presume to interfere with bets, or to make anydeclaration respecting them, except in cases of notorious fraud, when they can only recommend non- payment. It was a most fortunate circumstance, for the sake of peace, that the same horse won both heats ; and, I presume, as a matter of course, that neither of the gentlemen who made such an astounding award had a bet on the first race.— I am, dear Sir, yours truly, 23, Grafton- street, July 2. H. J. Rous. In addition to the foregoing letter of our leading Turf autho- rity, we publish the following resolution of the Committee of Tattersall's Subscription Room— the recognised legal tribunal for the settlement of all matters relating to bets on horse racing — which further corroborates the opinion we last week expressed respecting the decisionin qu'estion of the Newcastle Stewards :— " The Committee are of opinion that the Stewards of New- castle had no power or authority to declare the bets off on the Members' Plate.

Royal Veterinary College, April 13,1857. I certify that I have examined for R. Ten Broeck, Esq, the mouths of the undermentioned four horses, for the purpose of determining as to their ages, and I have no hesitation in pro- nouncing the respective ages of the said horses to be as fol- lows, viz :— Lecomte, a chesnut horse, with white near hind leg, about 15 hands 3 inches high— seven years old. Pryor, a chesnut horse, both fore legs white, with blaze on forehead, about 15 hands high— five years old. Prioress, a bay mare, small ring of white on near hind pastern, star on forehead, about 16 hands high— four years old. Bay filly, said to be by Sl& ae out of Miss Fairfield, star on forehead, about 15 hands 3 inches high— two years old. The above horses being used for the purpose of racing, in ac- cordance with the rules of this country, date the respective ages I have assigned to them from the 1st of January, 1857. ( Signed) CHARLES SPOONER, Principal Professor, R. V. C. Infirmary for Horses, 77, Park- street, Grosvenor- squ& re, London, April 15, 1857. I hereby certify that I have this day examined an entire horse, named Lecomte, with reference to his age, for R. Ten Broeck, Esq, and am of opinion that the said horse is seven years old. He has a chesnut colour, with white near hind leg, and stands about 15 hands 3 inches high. Also entire horse Pryor, with reference to his age, and am of opinion that the said horse is five years old. He has a chesnut colour, with both fore legs white, and a white blaze on his fore- head, and stands about 15 hands and 1 inch high. Also a mare naqjed Prioress, and am of opinion that said mare is four years old. " She has a bay colour, with a ring of white, star on her forehead, and stands about 15 hands 3 inches high. Also a filly, and am of opinion said filly is two years old ; she has a bay colour, with a white star on her forehead, and stands about 15 hands 2 inches high. She is said to be by Slane out of Miss Fairfield. ( Signed) ¥ a. MAYOR, Veterinary Surgeon, M. R. CV. S. newmarket _ july meeting. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIBS IN LONDON. SIR : The Newmarket July Meeting, from the circumstance of Worcester and Carlisle taking place earlier than last year, bids fair to engage the exclusive attention of the racing world during the ensuing week. The dolce far nienteish of these three days at Newmarket must be felt to be appreciated, and to such of your West End readers as may feel fatigued and blazeed with the gaieties of the season I can recommend no more in- vigorating or delightful recruitment of their health and spirits thin the afternoon lounges on the " other side of the Ditch," and the early walks abroad on the Warren Hill. The turf of both places, I hear, is n most beautiful order from the effects of the late refreshing rains. Fifteen races are spead over the three days, but only the July, Midsummer, and Chesterfield Stakes are at present filled. The remaining engagements are to be made the night before running. The July Stakes has twenty- three nominations, and none of them well known to fame from their doings in public, Gin being the only winner among them. In the " dark" division rumour speaks very highly of one, at least— Coxwold to wit— and should he put in an appearance, I fancy he will not be found to disgrace his lineage. The other probable runners are one of Lord Ailesbury's, Brown Middleton, Cock- a doodle- doo, Fitz- Roland, Greenfinch, Allspice, July, and Frederick ; and of these I unhesitatingly^ select Greenfinch as the winner. The Midsummer Stakes may be carried off by Coraquot, as my faith in the Tricolour becomes weaker every time it is unfurled. The Chesterfield Stakes has twenty- five subscriptions, of which the following may be found at the post:— one of Lord Ailesbury's, Lass of Richmond Hill, The Digger's Daughter, Royal Sovereign, Allspice, Scourge, Lucifer ( or Glimpse), Wind- ham, Catalpa filly, and perhaps Harry Stanley. The running in the July materially affects the result of this race, but at present it strikes me that the form of Harry Stanley is superior to any of the others that we have seen out, and I am disposed to think well of his chance ; but in case of absenteeism I must tender my allegiance to Allspice or Mr Howard's representative,— Yours, & c, July 3,1856. OBSERVER. THE BENTINCK FUND. At a meeting of the Bentinck Fund committee, held at Messrs Weatherby's office, 6, Old Burlington- street, on Friday, the 19th of June, present the Earl of Zetland, the Marquis of Anglesey, and W. G. K. Gratwicke, Esq, the treasurers' accounts for the year ending Dec 31,1856, were presented, passed, and ordered to be published in the Baaing Calendar, with a note distinguish- ing the recipients of relief who have, by themselves or families, been contributors to the fund. The death of Mrs Anu Perren, since the last meeting, was reported. It was ordered that the treasurers do, out of the balance in their hands on the capital account, purchase £ 300 Consols in the names of the trustees. The allowances to the present annuitants were continued. The committee regret that the falling off in the annual sub- scriptions precludes them from renewing the donations to Mrs S. Chifney and to William Horsley, and entertaining some other applications for relief, and directed thai the applicants should be informed that if the funds improved during tho year, their cases will be again considered in the autumn. It was resolved that a general meeting of the committee and of the honorary members should be held at Newmarket, in the Second October Meeting, to revise the rules, and to take such measures as may be deemed advisable, in order to increase the subscriptions and extend the benefits of this fund.

CHELMSFORD RACES. Stewards: W. P. Honey wood, Esq, Capt Boualas Lane, Viscount Maidstone, T. S. Western, Esq, M. P., and C. Du Cane, Esq, M. P. Judee and Clerk of the Scales: Mr Clark. Clerk of the Course: Mr S. Merry, Starter: Mr. Burton. Secretary: Mr Burrell. There is an old but no less true proverb which exhorts ns not to indulge in reckoning our chickens before they are brought into existence; and this advice will lose none of its force when ap- plied to certain events in connection with the Chelmsford meet- ing, For the last two years we have been led to anticipate the advantages to be derived from the erection of a new Stand and other proposed alterations : but on revisiting Gallevwood Com- mon this year, the old uusightly building again met our view, the miserable apology for a judge's box remained unchanged, and other necessary improvements still wanting. It will be re- membered that a proposition was a year or two back made by Mr Clark ( the judge) for effecting the desired altera- tions. He offered to erect a Stand for £ 1,700, by shares of £ 10 each, and a calculation was made at the time that, after paying the shareholders 6 per cent interest, the debt would be removed in half a dozen years. We then showed how easily this proposal might be carried out, but regret to be obliged now to state that it has not even been considered, and there is too much reason to believe that per- sonal interests are allowed to weigh against the attainment of so desirable an object. The Stand as at present constituted admits of no view of the running on the far side, and its confined di- mensions are deeply felt by all who have business to transact within the weighing enclosure. We aiu^ t again urge upon the committee— the executive portion of whom seem confined to about three individuals— to take the matter into their earnest consideration, and we should like next year to be able to announce the satisfactory completion of Mr Clark's plan. A heavy train left Bishopsgate on Tuesday morning at half- past ten, and no sooner had we entered the station than the evil workings of the Eastern Counties system became apparent. In the first place, the number of carriages was insufficient, and great delay was caused in procuring more; whilst on reaching Chelmsford— the train being half an hour behind— the only means of exit was a small wicket gate, at which stood two men, one of whom only took tickets, and all being anxious to reach the course as quickly as pos- sible, an idea may ba formed of the confusion that prevailed. A " special" to London was announced in the evening, but the wise authorities placed a few manuscript notices at the station after several trains had arrived, and consequently the majority of visitors being unaware of the fact returned by the first ordinary train. They, however, heard of the " special" the next morning, and, jumping hastily to the conclusion that there would be one on the second night, forgot the proverbial incon- sistency of the Eastern Counties' arrangements, and, as will be seen, suffered thereby. No such accommodation was allowed, and the majority of the bookmakers were compelled to proceed by the 7: 31 train, which reached Bishopsgate three- quarters of an hour behind time, amid the anathemas of those turfites who hoped to reach London sufficiently early to catch the Great Western mail en route to Worcester. We are sick of the theme— Eastern Counties mismanagement— so often has it recently fallen to our task to expose it, and will only add that many influential persons expresspd their intention of proceeding to Newmarket next week, via the Great Northern. Notwithstanding the unsettled state of the weather, the atten- dance on Tuesday was extremely good, the metropolitans mus- tering in great force. The sports commenced with the Galley- wood Stakes, which was carried off by Admiral of the White, on whom 4 to 1 was laid, and the winner at auction afterwards realised £ 31 to the fund. For the Chelmsford Handicap six put in appearance, and the result was, as anticipated by " Observer," between Renown and Triton, " Daley's" repre- sentative winning easily. The Brentwood Stakes followed, and half a dozen went to the post. 6 to 4 was laid on Volatore, who was backed by the public to a large amount, but not being " fit" he cut up badly, and Schoolfellow, after a race with Miss Waters, won by half a length. Owing to the difficulty at start- ing, caused by the fractiousness of Miss Waters, the Fawn filly was left at the post, and at the scale Sly complained that the race had been run within the distance, the start being effected before the post. No objection was, however, made then, but in the morning Mr Elliscomplained to the Stewards, who of course refused to interfere at that time; but it behoves the committee hereafter toappointaprofessional starter whokuows his business. Another half- dozen went to the post for the County Members' Plate, and Mr La Mert scored his second victory with 51 aggie Lauder. The Welter Cup was won by Turk, his only opponent, Firmament, falling in crossing the tan road, which became very slippery owing to the race being run in a drenching rain. Mr Bevill, we are happy to state, escaped unhurt. The usual race dinner was held at the White Hart, and presided over by that spirited patron of racing, W. P. Honeywood, Esq, who besides adding £ 25 to the Mark's Hall Stakes, made his usual hand- some present of a buck. In the course of the evening Mr Honey- wood alluded to the feeble support given to the races by the country gentry, but added that so far as it was in his power to prevent it they never should decline, and he hoped that the chosen few who gave their assistance would be only the more energetic iu proportion as the opposition was powerful. The heavy rain which fell nearly all Wednesday caused a very meagre attendance, and the sport was extremely indifferent. The Town Plate Handicap, the opening event, was carried off by the favourite, Anemone, beating two others. A quartette contested the Stand Handicap, and Schoolfellow, on whom 2 to 1 was laid, won by a neck. A field of seven went to the post for the Cup Stakes, which proved a " good thing" for Shirah. Marmion carried off the Scurry Handicap, and Mamelon— the first winner by Windischsratz— after a fine touch with the Psyche filly, won the Maldon Stakes. The defeat of Fright, upon whom 5 to 2 was laid for the Queen's Plate, by Renown, created a sensation, and Diligent having walked over for the Mark's Hall Stakes, the meeting was brought to a termination, arid with it Mr Merry, we believe, resigns his office of Clerk of the Course. In conclusion, we would urge upon the committee to employ a few proper police at the entrances hereafter, in lieu of the raw and uncultivated yokels brought into requisition on this occasion. Several disturbances arose in consequence, and a most unpleasant affair on the morning of the second day— the details of which we abstain from entering into— originated in a great measure from ths obstinacy and ignorance of the fellows so engaged, whose proceedings moreover were passively witnessed by the secretary, the man of all others who ought to have interfered. We understand that Admiral Rous has offered his valuable assistance to the meeting, and will in all probability be one of the stewards next year.

Stewards : Earl of Glasgow. Sir James Bos well, J. W. Marshall » Esq, and Jasies Merry, Esq, M. P. Judge : Mr R. Johnson- Handicapper : Mr Topham. Starter : Mr W. Elliott. Secre- tary and Clerk of the Caurse : Mr John Daly. The hard ground had a great effect upon the Carlisle meeting, as it tended to reduce the fields, horses, after running once or twice at Newcastle, having had quantum sufficit for some time to come. How much hotter it would be in future to reduce the former meeting to two days, hold Carlisle in the same week, and, if practicable, avoid clashing with Bibury and Stockbridge. Since Mr John Daly has been at the head of affairs the races have made great progress, and, though the present meeting has not been as successful as could be desired, it is no want of exertion on the part of that official. Thanks to the showery weather on the eve of the meeting the course was ingood running order. The first day's card contained four races only, the Tally- ho Handicap and the Carlisle Stakes not having filled. The Corby Castle Stakes, the first event for decision, was won very easily by Intercidona, who, though a " pot" two or three tiuses this year, has never showed her head in front till to- day. John Osborne followed up his success by carrying off the Grandstand Handicap with De Giiikel. The great event of the meeting was the Cumberland Plate, which was won in the commonest of canters by old Pantomime, who was sold at Newcastle last week to Mr West for 300 sovs, with certain contingencies ; he is now in James Watson's stable at Richmond. Mr West has also pur- chased Breeze, whose delivery is to take place after the race for tho Flying Stakes at Worcester. The Holm Hill Stakes brought the day's proceedings to a close. The morning was very unfa- vourable, which kept many pleasure seekers away, and the afternoon turned out very cold. Liverpool was struck out of the Cumberland Plate to Mr Johnson on the 29th of June, at 7: 30 a. m., awd Swale out of the Corby Castle Stakes to-< 2ay, at 1: 30 p. m. Notwithstanding the weak card on the second day, the very favourable weather caused the races to be very nume- rously attended. The case of the second money in the Cumber- laud Plate was brought before the Stewards this morning, and decided in favour of King of the Gipsies. The sport, however, was pretty good, and the meeting being well conducted, and good time kept, passed off most satisfactorily. Full details will be found below.

Jollity pulled up at the last turn, and did not pass the post. El Hakim bolted in the second round, and Elliott, the trainer of All's Well, claimed the second money on the ground that King of the Gipsies rau on the wrong side of a past at the bottom turn, but the stewards, after investigating the case, confirmed the judge's deci . ion.

Phoenix led round the top turn, when he fell, and Cock Robin took up the running ; at the distance, the three closed, and a severe rac « ensued, which ended in favour of Norton by a short head; Pippin beating Cock Robin by the same. THE TURE IN AUSTRALIA.— We have received a copy of the Australian Sportsman's Calendar and Guide to the Turf, the first work of its class ever published in the colonies. The work is edited by Mr Charles Hamilton Nichols, of Bell's Life in Sydney, and dedicated to his Excellency the Governor- General. In his preface the suthor states that the want of some such record has long been felt, and the desire to advance the interests of sporting in his native country has induced liim to compile the work. The volume, which is neatly got up, contain* accounts of yachtiug and other sport?, whilst the main portion is devotfd to the Turf and steeple- chasing, a complete cak ndar of which is given, and judging therefrom, our Australian friends are not by any means indifferent to the national British sport. WORCESTER RACES. Stewards : Viscount Clifden and the Earl of Coventry. Hon Clerk of the Course: Mr Wm. Webb. Judge : Mr Johnson. Starter : Mr G. Calloway. The steady yet important yearly progress in the management and provision of sport at the " faithful citie" has favourably ingratiated it in the " books" of all good sportsmen, few of whom now miss the opportunity of inhaling a salubrious atmo- sphere en one of the prettiest courses in the kingdom, to say nothing of more fascine'-''.„ . . , , 1 . " - vzag allurements proverbial to the spot. The spirited revival, too, of the races, effected in so short a period by their present directors, carries with it the strongest inducements for support, at the same time constituting a most fortunate epoch in local history. In continuation may also be mentioned the recent generous and honorary acceptance of the incorporated post of secretary and clerk by Mr Wm. Webb, whose exertions in the promotion of field sports generally have won him, at home and abroad, the most unbounded con- fidence and esteem. The liberality of the committee in mak- ing the best provision at commaud for the widow of their late venerable clerk likewise deserves honourable mention. Mr Webb's accession to office was immediately followed, at his sug- gestion, by the establishment of an annual Produco Stakes, the amount of money added to which was no less handsome than the promises of patronage from several leading trainers were flat tering. At once, however, to deal with matters more directly at issue, perhaps no greater success could have waited on effort than resulted from the secretary's attention to the course on this occasion. Preserving a nice covering of grass over the straight half mile, and otherwise rendering soft the foot crossings with tan— also hid from view by a strewing of new mown hay- was followed, just in the nick of time, on Tuesday, by a succes- sion of welcome showers, so that Thursday forenoon after nearly thirty years familiarity with this ground we have had no recol- lection of similar splendid going in the Julymonth. Many sports- men will probably remember that under t ie old management the Worcestershire Stakes course was altered from two miles to one and a half. Until recently nobody seems to have ques- tioned the correct admeasurement of the latter; but when the other day the surveyor was called in, it turned out to be nearer a mile and three- quarters. This led to a removal of the start- ing- post from the entrance to the cords to the spot immediately facing the Stand, and, by transferring the judge's box to the same locality, the start and finish were now admirably witnessed from that building. A variety of improvements at other parts of the croft, coupled with an application of the paint brush, lent an appearance " spruce as a carrot newly scraped." The arrival of sixteen of the animals engaged in the chief handicap raised to the utmost pitch on Wednesday evening the anticipations of a gallant race; though a " damper" was cast upon the quantity of sport set down for the first day by the non filling of the Selling Stakes and the Stand Plate ( also a sell- ing affair). Looking at the number of events of this de- scription knocked on the head during the season, it can excite little surprise that the " epidemic" extended to Worcester, where it is well known " flash" sales have alwavs been prohibited, and where we understand that little or nought in the auction line is to appear in future programme. It was determined to reopen the Stand Plate, which, it will be seen, luckily furnished a capital " lift" to the fund. On Thursday a bright and refreshing atmosphere assisted materially the rail- way traffic to the city, voyageurs from the south being no less delighted with the fertile vale of Evesham, through which the lino passes, and the clearly defined magnificent Malvern range, than were denizens of the " black country" with their excursion from regions of smut and smoke. The Ring and Stand were ex- well patronised, the former including the leading bookmakers of the day; and upon the Ham altogether was one of the best attendances yet showing at the Summer Meeting, a circum- stance not unusual when, as on this occasion, ah indifferent day's racing happens to be presented. To accommodate the Metropolitan division, the Trial Slakes, the opening race, was postponed to half- past two o'clock. Half a dozen showed for it; and Elfrida, who won it last year, was expected to repeat the trick; but she had to succumb to Jesuit, who being just in the humour to try, won very easily, though his jockey drew it tine, by a neck. At first it was thought the Two Year Old Stakes would have gone off in a match between Polly Peachura and Mainstay; the committee, in fact, had intimated to the owners that the added money would not be withheld if only two ran, and the latter were in the act of acknowledging the liberality, when Mamelon put in an appearanee, without, however, affect- ing the issue, as Polly Peachum had her opponents safe from the start, and disposed of them in a common canter. After pulling off the Stand Plate, Auricula, the property of a county gentleman, found a new owner, and added 70 guineas to the racing exchequer. Punctually to time, eleven runners went to the post for the Worcestershire Stakes, for which Oakball, though a " stiff- un" in London on the day, became a rattling favourite in the provinces from the moment the handicao was published. OH his arrival the overnight from Carlisle there was a rush to get on Pantomime, and as all sorts of rumours were industriously circulated respecting two or three other animals engaged in the race, not a few, we suspect, were dropped into the hole. To- day, however, Oakball and Verona were most in request. Though the latter ran forward throughout, it was evident, in the last half- mile of a slowly- run race, that nothing had the ghost of a chance with Oakball—" Observer's " selection— who waited to ths cords, shook off the winner of the Cumberland Plate without an effort, and cantered in " hands down," thus in a measure recompensing the stable for their dis- appointment last year, when an equally " good thing" for this event was spoiled by the bolting of Baudalore. Unfortunately the race was now attended with a fatal casualty to Sir Philip Sydney, who slipped up soon after starting, fractured his shoul- der in falling, and was subsequently destroyed. Of seven events originally appearing in Friday's programme, the Madrestield and the Railway Stakes went to the wall through reasons already noticed. Better to sustain the scheme, a new handicap was substituted, and thereby provided for quite as much as could be conveniently disposed of in time for the Londoners to catch the evening express. The capital racing must speak for itsef ia the description given iu the usual place, and of which time and space alike compel ati abridgement. The new handicap, framed by Mr Johnson, brought the ten entered to the post, and made up for a singular deficiency of competition in the other events of the day. In conclusion we must not let pass the opportunity of expressing approval of the excellent arrangements, and our knowledge of the fact that if the meeting was not precisely up to the antici- pated and deserved mark, its indefatigable committee have therein experienced a remunerative return, from which may be assured increased attractions for the next anniversary. The officials gave the highest satisfaction, and Inspector Chipp as adroitly kept the light- fingered gentry out of harm's way. The accident to Sir Philip Sidney, it appears, was caused through collision with a post. THURSDAY, JULY 2.— The TRIAL HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for three year olds and upwards; one mile and a quarter; 10 subs. Lord Clifden's b g Jesuit, by Surplice, 5 yrs, 7st 101b..

Being a length or so in advance when the flag fell, the Margaret of Anjou colt made play to the top of the course, and was then headed by Village Cock, who carried on the running until inside the distance, where, being iu difficulties, he gave way to the favourite and Mr Halford's colt, the former of whom won cleverly by a neck ; a length between second and third ; Brigliadoro beateu off! Run in lmin 54sec. The winner was sold for 90 guineas. The WORCESTERSHIRE HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, h tt, and only three if declared, & c, with 100 added; winners of a handicap of 100 sovs value after June 2, 5lb extra; the winner to pay 20 sovs towards the expenses; the second to save his stake; about one mile and a half; 70 subs, 42 of whom de- clared.

There were several failures, in the first of which Sir Philip Sydney and Laverna ran to the bottom of the course, the former also taking a shorter gallop at the second attempt. At length the starter despatched the troop in very compact order, Pantomime immediately showing in advance, with The Martlet, MaidofD^ rwent, Verona, aud Kenerdy laid up at his heels, succeeded by Sir Philip Sjdnev, Laverna, the favourite, and The Dupe; Cotswold and Alembic being last from the post. They ran much in thisorderuntil turning into the bottom, when a scrimmage ensued through the slipping up and falling of Sir Philip Sydney. Fortnnately nothing beyond a momentary stoppage happened to those behind him, whilst Pantomime obtained a lead of at least three lengths as the horses rounded the Infirmary turn for the back of the course. At this point Laverna lay second, Verona third. The Martlet fourth, Oakballand Maid of Derwent next. The Dupe and Kenerdy separated a couple of lengths from them, Cotswold directly in their wake, Alembic going on a long way behind the lot. After making the turn at the top, near the half mile post, Verona took up the running, in which she indulged for about a hundred yards, and then cutting it, the old horse resumed the command. In re- cressing the flit for the straight, the favourite Verona and The Martlett closed with Pantomime, who, however, maintained a slight advantage to inside the distance, where he was collared by Oakball, who deprived him of the lead in the next few strides, and won very easily by a length ; the third beaten twice as far from the second, and finishing a length before the fourth. About three lengths from the latter The Dupe was fifth, Cotswold sixth, Laverna seventh, and Keuerdy next. Maid of Derwent can- tered in fifty yards from the last mentioned trio, aud Alembic, walking iu from the distance, did noj pass the chair. Run iu 2min 58sec. In falling Sir Philip fractured his shoulder, but the boy was uninjured. FRIDAY.— The LADIES' PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Sweep- stakes of 3 sovs each, for three year olds and upwards ; the second to save his stake, and the winner to be sold for 50 sovs : about oae mile ; 4 subs.

Sweet- briar jumped off with a commanding lead, which she held for about half a mile, when the favourite gave way, and Blight and Auricula joined the leader, the former, who showed in advance at the distance, winning easily by three parts of a length ; bad third. Run in lmin 56sec. The winner was bought in for 81 guineas.

Prince's Mixture bolted on the way to the post, and when the flag fell at the first attempt, jumped off in advance, with Raven, Barbarity, Polly Johnson, and Miss liarkaway clustering at his heels to he distance. Raven then took up the running, but half wav up was headed by Polly Johnson ( the two lying Sy aplrt) and defeated in a canter by a length; a neck between and third; an indifferent fourth, the favourite close up^ Zth the latter. Little Gerard ( who got badly off) was . sixth Miss Harkaway next, and Echo last. Run in 5tsec.

Polly Peachum and Mamelon broke awav before start- ing, the latter at length making play for about a hundred yards, when he was passed by the favourite, Pollv Johnson, and Little Gerard; this trio, with Polly Peachum slightly in advance, ran together to the half distance, where Bobby brought up Typhon on the inside, and heading Little Gerard at the upper end of the inclosure, won the finest race of the meeting by a neck, the second beating the third by the same, and half a length only separating the third aud fourth ; Barbarity, Old Tom, and Kenerdy ( who got badly off) finishing so close to Polly Johnson that it was impossible to assign them positions ; the last two were Archibald and Mamelon.

In our impression of last week we were only able to give the particulars of the two first races decided on Thursday [ so writes our correspondent, but the neglect was most unpardonable— ED.], which we now again subjoin, with full details of the rest of the racing. Newton- le- Willows, it will be seen, placed the Kildarc Handicap to the credit of his owner, the race never being in doubt from start to finish, and later in the day he again polished off Walterstowa, giving him two years and gib- no mean performance the " second time of asking." For Her Majesty's Plate ( three miles) high odds were laid on Prize- fighter, who " waited aud won" just as he liked. The succeeding event also resulted in the success of the favourite— Sunbeam, after a severe struggle with The Hawk. The Coffee Room Stakes brought to the post a field of five, St Patrick being made the favourite at evens, but after tha first few hundred yards he haa nothing to do with the race, which was won very easily by Mr Quin's Zaidfee, a particularly neat and lengthy filly by Bandy out of Wheel, those behind her, however— with the exception of St Patrick, who looked indifferently, being very dull i'. i his coat— having little quality. The succeeding event, the Stewards' Plate, was very closely contested by the four placed, Sirocco only just pulling through by half a neck. The race for the Challenge of the Kirwans, won by Newton le Willows, con- cluded the day's sport. On Friday there was a considerable falling off in the attendance, owiug no doubt to the oppressive heat of the weather. The first event on the card ended in a walk over for Lord Waterford's colt by Barbarian or Bandy in a match with Mr Nunn's colt by Bryan o'Lynn out of Piety, the latter being afflicted with paralysis, but not occasioned by falls when breaking, as we erroneously stated in our " Notes18 prior to the meeting. Three ran for the Irish Oakse odds being laid on Agitation, who disposed of her brace of antagonists with such ridiculous ease, that it is evi « dent she must have " shut up" in her race for the Kirwan Stakes on the previous Tuesday. For Her Majesty's Plate over the course ( four miles) Companion absorbed nearly all the favour of the Ring, though The Chicken and Harry were backed by their respective stables. The early pari ef the race was entirely confined to Companion and Harry, who rau at one another as if nothing else was in the race across the flat, and to the turn into the straight, where, the former compounding, Lanky Bet and The Chicken gradually crept up to Harry, and the filly running the longest, won a most punishiug race by half a length, The Chicken finishing close np. A field of five only contested the Stewards Stakes, in which The Knight of Malta retrieved his lost laurels, the lot behind him, however, being as poor in quality as quantity. Alfred was at length— after running two seconds at the meeting— got to the fore for the Flying Stakes, which he won in a canter, and Gamekeeper, having a very poor field to contend with for the Fourth Class of the Stewards' Plate, and being within his distance, pulled through cleverly. The Coriuthian Stakes— protracted ta three heats— as usual, brought the meeting to a close. Some heavy speculation took plaee on it, Greyling, although with the steadying weight for a three year old of list, being a great " pot." After the first heats however, the stable shifted the money to Glen Lee, and neither of them eoiug for the second heat, Meigh Dair won easily. For the deciding heat Glen Lee went out lame, and, breaking down at the road, all the " fat was in the fire," for Greyling, quite worn out by his previous exertion during the meeting, failed to overhaul Meigh Dair, who won in a canter, and thus brought this most successful meeting to a close.

Sunshine cut out the work to half way between the turn and the chains, when he gave way to Game- keeper, who was immediately joined by the Chicken, Newton- le « Willows taking the third place, where he remained till a little below the Stand, where he took the lead and won cleverly by two lengths, Gamekeeper finishing three from the Chicken. The others tailed off. HER MAJESTY'S PLATE of 100' guineas, for horses, & c; three year olds 6st 71b, four Sst 31b, five 8st 121b, six aud aged 9st; re ares and geldings allowed 5lb; three miles.

The meeting at this fashionable watering place— the Brighton of Waterford— took place in the early part of the past week, and attracted, for so isolated a position, a very large company, com- posed chiefly of sportsmen resident in the counties of W aterford, Tipperary, Limerick, and Kilkenny, who found an easy transit thither per rail. The sport took place over the new course made through the enterprise of James Delahunty, Esq, an alder- man of the urbs intacta, and which being now consolidated presented capital going, the stands— of which there are three- enclosure, telegraph, & c, being as complete as at any race course in the kingdom. The racing— the best that has taken place at Tramore for manv years— was ample and interesting, five events being run for each day. The principal race on both days fell to the lot of The Disowned, a surprise to his owner as much as to the public, his previous performances not warranting the weight imposed upon him by the handicapper. He won both easily, the second we take it chiefly owing to the riders of Veteran, Sunshine, and The Surgeon- General mistaking the course ( in shape a battledore), though it was fully explained to them that they were to go twice round the wider end before making the turn for home. The other races do not call for any further remarks thau will be found appended below. There was almost an entire absence of the betting fraternity, who, had they put in an appearance, would have found profitable use for their metallics, particularly on the second day, when The Surgeon- General and Veteran would have been backed " for money. The weather on Tuesday was unfavourable, several drenching showers having fallen during the day, but on Wednesday it held fine throughout, though it wanted the brightness and warmth of Midsummer.

MR EDITOR : A direct answer from Mr Walter Ferrier Hamil- ton to each of the following questions relative to the late Kil- marnock Steeple Chases will be much more to the point than the specious and flimsy terms of his letter of the 22d inst, which I read in your last paper:— 1st, Had Mr W. F. H. any business to give any directions whatever to the riders ? 2d, Were tbe directions he gave in strict accordance with those previously given by Mr Craig? 3d, Vvhy did he ( Mr W. F. H.) at the meeting of the stewards held after the race give his opinion that my horse was entitled to the stakes, knowing that he had run on what he now terms the " wrong side" of a post? 4th, Will he add his own testimony to that of his acquaintance the rider of " Deacon" ( who, strange to observe, also went the " wrong side" and only retraced his course and went the other side on the advice of a friend) that he gave no directions to imply that the post in question was merely to indicate the line to the winning post, and that either side might be taken ? When he has got through these, before he lays aside his pen, it might give some vitality to this prosy correspondence were he to favour the public with my verbal critique upon his conduct on this occasion— and as I know his taste for anecdote, he might at the same time give my summing up of the fabrication ( the monosyllable I found it necessary to employ in a private conver- sation with him is less euphonious, and used here might be attended with expense) which he repeated about me some short time ago, when memory failed him in recalling its author, as did courtesy in offering any apology for the repetition of the vulgar calumny. To those who do not shut their eyes to " cause and effect" this passage might throw some light upon his conduct as steward and judge of the late Kilmarnock Steeple Chases, offices which he announced to me with the air of a martyr he should never think of filling again. This happy determination on his part, it struck me, was scarcely more satisfactory than it was superfluous.— Yours,& c, EDWARD HERON MAXWELL. Arthur's, 29th June. SHEERNESS AND ISLE OF SHEPPEY.

TROTTING. The match between Mr Robertson's Paisley mare and Mr Mor- rison's Falkirk horse, for £ 160 a side, which has been fixed to take place over five miles of a turnpike road, on the 10th inst, continues to monopolise the interest of the " fancy" iu the west of Scotland. Speculation on the result has as yet been very limited, and anything done has been at evens, the horse seeming likely to have the call in the district approaching the midland counties, while the patrons of'' fast goers" in the West pin their faith on the mare. Both parties are confident, and each animal is doing good work, the horse being reported as " hard as iron," and with a coat of a shining hue, while the mare, with a couple of schoolmasters, goes through her task daily in such a manner as to justify the general opinion that the affair will be a very " near thing." Joseph Battersby of Oldham will match his horse Charley against Mr Shepley's horse Charley ( of Staleybridge) to trot from three to five miles, on the Manchester; and Altrincham road, the same riders to be up as in their last match ; if other riders are up, Mr Battersby will take weight for inches, according tq trotting rules. The match to come off any time this month. R. Allcock, horsedealer, of the Edgeware- road, Paddington, has four horses he would like to match against any four of one owner's property, within 50 miles of London, to trot two or five miles, for £ 25 each. The match can be made any night at the White Lion, Paddington. COURSING FIXTURES FOR 1857. SEPTEMBER. FLAGS. COUNTY. JTJDGB, MEETING Biggar ( St Leger, & c).. Lanarkshire ....

Kingston has asserted its claim nobly this week to distinction amongst those places where aquatic sports are cherished. It was inaugurates! by a regatta literally got up on the spur of the moment, in 1856, which was but the prelude to the much greater, which we now sit down to detail. The combatants over Henley's beautiful reach of water had barely time to cool when they were invited to reaction at Kingston, and for a series of prizes, which, of themselves, without reference to the expensive details of the regatta, in bauds, boats, & c, amounted to nearly £ 250. The fixture had been judieiously made closely to follow Henley, with a view, if possible, to secure the attendance of some of the University and other crews, as they could not be ex- pected with a long interval of time to be kept together, and when the entry list closed on Monday night thecommittee were gratified in finding that their expectations had in some respects been realised. No eight had been expected, but the best men of Oxford University Boat Club, who formed the four at Henley, and the same party in the London Rowing Club four, were amongst the entries; besides the rival pair- oars of Oxford and London. The entry list was remarkably good in other respects; indeed was so good as to cause no complaint on the part of any that it was uot a monster festival, which title that surely deserves which can give abundant promise of 26 races in two days, quite as much as the most persevering committee can ever expect to put upou the water with either credit to themselves or satisfaction to those _ ed. It will not unfrequently happen that with the exer- cise of every care disputes and unpleasantness will arise; but we think the Royal Kingston Regatta of last Thursday and Friday, under the patronage of the Duke of Cambridge, Sir G. R. Lam- bert, Alderman Sir J. Duke, the Mayor of Kingston, Colonel Challoner, aud other gentlemen of corresponding position, passed off without a single cause of complaint, a circumstance which must be highly gratifying to all concerned. The laws of boat- racing, as in use at Henley, governed this regatta. The distances for the four- oared races were from a flag- boat moored off Seething Wells, through the bridge, to a flag- boat above the Eyot. The starting place seems indiffer- ently chosen. Had it been a little lower, it would have been clear of an objectionable curve in the river. The other races started at the same point as the fours, but finished at a flag- boat above the bridge; and it will be seen that the first day of the regatta was, with one or two exceptions, confined to trial heats. A me- re inauspicious opening day for a great regatta it would have been difficult to have selected iu the whole three hundred and sixty- five. A storm had threatened all the morning, and the lurid clouds at len rth discharged their vapour, and that in right earnest. At eleven in the morning vivid flashes of light- ning and loud peals of thunder were succeeded by a heavy down- pour of rain, which, at intervals during the day, descended in torrents, and threw a most effectual damper over the regatta. Every one was, however, at his post, and the racing commenced at the appointed hour. WEDNESDAY.— LOCAL SCULLERS, in one heat. MrW. Caird .. Blue & White 11 Mr F. V. Camroux .. Yellow 0 Mr StV. Jervis.. White & Red 0 | The last named made a bad start, and could not get to work, being unable to sit his boat, and the other two left him behind from the first moment of the race. They pulled evenly together for a quarter of a mile, when Caird began to draw. Jervis pulled pluckily, but slipped his scull out. Won by four lengths. SENIOR SCULLERS. FIEST HEAT. MrE. D. Brickwood.. Blue& I Mr J. Ireland Green 0 Orange 1 | Mr J. Nottidge White 0 A capital start and good race down to Raven's Eyot, where Not- tidge fouled a fishing punt; they were nearly level at the mo- ment, Brickwood, however, having rather the best of it. In a few more strokes Brickwood began to clear himself, kept it, and won by three lengths. SECOND HEAT. Mr C. Schlotel Piak 1 | Mr A. Thorn Red 0 A hollow race. Schlotel took the lead, kept it, aud won easily. PAIR- OARED OUTRIGGER GIGS ( with coxswaiu). FIEST HEAT. Messrs Playford and Casam:< jor, H. Weston ( cox) Blue and White 1 Messrs Warre and Lonsdale, Elers ( cox) Dark Blue 0 Messrs Jackson and Drake, J. Welsh ( cox) CI Zingari) Green and Gold 0 Messrs Playford aud Casamajor began to pull away from the beginning, arid won by two hundred yards. Their lead, however, at first was very trifling, but was soon much iucreased, the Oxford men were evidently underboated, and opposite Marriott's Cottages left off pulling. The third pair never seemed to get to their work at all. SECOND HEAT. Messrs Warner and Woodbridge, G. Weston ( cox) Red 1 Messrs Sarle and T. Stahlschmidt, H. Jameson ( cox) ( I Zingari) White 0 Turner and Wray, with W. Smith ( coxwain), were entered but did not go, from a feeling that they were shut out of any chance of success, eveu if winners of their heat, in having to contend against Playford and Casamajor, who are unquestionably pos- sessed of too much prowess to give auy ether pair a prospect of winning. Warner and Woodbridge took the lead, but were never clear for half a mile, their opponents again aud again rowing up to them. It was well pulled all the way. Won by two and a half lengths. JUNIOR SCULLERS. Mr E. D. Butts Pink 1 | Mr G.' Raphael White 0 Jervis had entered but did not go. It was a beautiful start and they were together for a few strokes, but after that Mr Raphael fell off amazingly, and Mr Butts won easily by four lengths. SECOND HEAT. Mr W. Buck Yellow 1 | H. Dobree.... Pink and White 0 Dobree jumped off with the lead, but soon shut up, and Busk passed him and rowed as he liked to win. THIRD HEAT. Mr W. Addison Blue 1 | Mr L. F. Chapman.. Crimson 0 They were off at the same moment, and Chapman held his oppo- nent well for half a mile, the other slightly leading. Mr Addison then began to draw away, and maintaining it won by a clear length and a half. PAIR- OARED WHERRIES. Messrs War re and Lonsdale, and Nottidge and Casamajor were the pairs entered for this race, but the former having withdrawn, the latter walked over the course. JUNIOR FOUR- OARED RACE. FIEST HEAT. EXCEISIOB CBEW.— Messrs J. G. Randall 1, H. R. Boyce 2, A. O. Lloyd 3, C. A. Turner ( stroke), and H. Weston ( cox) Pink and White 1 I ZINGAEI CBEW.— Messrs A. Sari 1, R. E. Jackson 2, C. Stahlschmidt 3, T. Stahl- schmidt ( stroke) and G. Weston ( cox) .... Green and Gold 0 The Excelsior proved their competency to maintain their title, but the losing crew, who were to have been steered by Mr Tidbury, were coached by a little boy, whose lack of acquaint- anceship with the perfect use of yoke lines made them " wander" over the course with a variety of unprofessional curves. We cannot refrain from reprehending the practice of placing chil- dren in such positions. We dislike it because it may turn the chance of the day at the critical moment in favour of the in- ferior crew. We have not the hardihood to affirm that it was exactly so in this case, but the Zingarees were certainly taken a good deal out of their way. The wiuners led and kept it, and ultimately won as they liked. SECOND HEAT. The SUBBITON CBEW.- iMessrs W. Yeldham 1, St V. Jervis 2, W. Busk 8, R. Wood ( stroke), and E. Marston ( cox) Light Blue 1 The PEMBROKE COLLEGE B. C.( Oxford). — Messrs W. M. Molyneux 1, H. S. Davies 2, C. P. Pauli S, G. S. Barrow ( stroke), and H. Smith ( cox) Rid, White, & Blue 0 It was a fine skiff race for the first half- mile, when the Surbl- ton Crew gradually drew away ( the Oxonians rowing in a very bad boat), and won easily. SENIOR FOUR- OARED RACE. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed by the London Rowing Club crew, who were entered to compete with the Oxford University, at the withdrawal of the latter shortly before the race. It was alleged that they had by this thrice been thwarted iu testing their superiority against the Oxford University Four. They expressed themselves very eager to en- gage with their collegiate rivals, and thought that nothing should have debarred, but as the Oxford men fairly exercised their dis- cretion of rowing or retiring, there was no help left for it, and of course the race was a blank. A SCRATCH MATCH wound up the sport. j Westerns then just drew their boat clear, and the Marstons pu | on their steam at best. The youngest Weston steered his brokers very creditably, and went a good way towards helpinjc them to win. The Marstons tried several times to pass their op- ponents, who effectually shut them out, and eventuallv came in R, LNRRS, BY TVY° LENSFCB « . moit warmly applauded by the as- sembled multitudes. SENIOR SCULLE RS.—( Finished from Wednesday.) „ FINAL HEAT. m^ tF't? nbI-°, el • • ViV• • VX- Pink 1 I Wr J- Ireland Green 0 MrE. D. Bnckwood. BIue& Orange o| This race, while it lasted, was very good, and would according to all account have been won by Mr Briekwood, who is fast rising in fame. Mr Schlotel dashed off rapidly with the lead, and had soon drawn himself two lengths clear, when the pace seemed to begin to tell upon him; Messrs Ireland and Brickwood went after him at a rattling pace, Mr Briekwood slightly heading his oppo- nent, and they were both rapidly overhauling Mr Schlotel, when Mr Brickwood cutting the corner too closely unfortunately fouled Mr Ireland, and became disqualified. Mr Schlorel continued rowing and easae in first by three or four lengths, Mr Brickwood coming m second the same distance in advance of Mr Ireland, it was thought the race would have been rowed again, but we learned from the umpire that Mr Irelaud not claiming the foul, Mr Schotel was the winner. JUNIOR FOUR- OARED RACE.-( Finished from Wednesday.) ,„ „ FINAL HEAT : THE EXCELSIOR CREw.- Messrs J. C. Randall 1, H. R. Boyce2, A. O. Llovd 3, C. A. Tur- ner ( stroke), H. Weston ( cox) Pink and White 1 THE SUBBITON CBEW.- Messrs W. YeMham 1. St V. Jervis 2, AV. Busk 3, R. Wood ( stroke), E. Marston ( cox) ......... Light Blue 0 The Excelsiors determined that their name should be unblem- ished, and had not so much trouble to beat the Surbitons as they had the Zingari in the Trial heat the day before. The Surbitons were left a long way astern soon after starting. TRADESMEN'S FOUR- OARED RACE ; in one heat. THE FAIRY CREW.— Messrs VV. T. Welch 1. W. Gray 2, W. Barnsby 3, E. Wells ( stroke), T. Lanfear ( cox) Pink and White 1 THE ZEPHYB CREW.— Messrs S. Grav, jun, 1, G. Mudie 2. J. Wood 3, II. Goldting ( stroke), J. Mudie ( cox) Blue and White 0 This was oy far the finest race of the regatta. As Zephyrs and Fairies have, we presume, a relationship one to the other, they determined not to be separated on this occasion, as far as they could possibly help it. It was the best start of the day ; they were neck and neck for 200 yards, when the Zephyrs drew in front, leaving a space between them and their opponents of about half a length. For the next quarter of a mile they were in this position, rowing desperately, when the Fairies began steadily to come up, and the next minute drew the nose of their boat in advance of the Zephyr's about two yards, and in this position they remained at a good pace to within 100 yards of home, the Zephyrs often closing up the gap between them. Ciose to home the Fairies put on theirlast desperate spurt, which brought them in the victors by nearly a clear boat's length. Both crews had had quite enough of it. OUTRIGGED GIGS ( with cox).-( Fkiished from Wednesday.) FINAL HEAT. Messrs Casamajor and Playford, H. Weston cox) Blue and White 1 Messrs Woodbridge and Warner, G. Weston ( cox) Red 0 Messrs Casamajor and Playford were betted upon to any amount, but in order not to diminish the sport, made, it is said, a'race'of it. They were close together all the way, and Casar major and Playford came iu first by half a clear length. Two scratch matches followed. After the sport was over there was a cold collation provided in the marquee at the Sun Hotel, to which some 60 or 70 gentlemen sat down, and, after partaking of the good things of this world, the winners received their well- earned rewards from the hands of Colonel Cnalloner, who highly complimented the successful candidates for aquatic fame, espe- cially H. Weston, who, as coxwain, steered four successful crews in the regatta, aud carried off a prize along with his brothers. All the gentlemen having duly responded, the usual loyal and patriotic toats followed. Among the gentlemen most instru- mental in getting it up, and who had tho chief management of it, are Messrs John and William Shrubsole, the ex- mayGrs, John and James Weston, Drake, Draper, St V. Jervis, Nottidge, Jackson, Rhodes Cobb, W. Ellis, W. B. Jones, W. Philips, G Raphael, W. Wadbroke, F. Webb, R. Lack, James Bell, T' Boulton, and F. Chappell, all of whom are on the committee list" HENLEY- ON- THAMES ROYAL REGATTA. ^ Concluded from our Latest Edition of Last Week], SATURDAY.— The entry list had been nearly exhausted on Friday, and the only redeeming feature of this, the last day, was the eight- oar race between the Oxford University and the London Rowing Club. This produced a fuller attendance than on the previous day, although far inferior to what we have seea at Henley, notwithstanding the inviting character of the weather. GRAND CHALLENGE CUP.

We beg to draw attention to the advertisement of this well- known coursing meeting, which is based not on private club or local rules, but on the long- established rules prepared by Mr R. A. Welsh, of Liverpool, the compiler of Thacker's Annual. Stewards and field- stewards will be appointed by the subscribers to co- operate with the present committee in carrying out the arrangements of the meeting, The committee are well- known coursing amateurs, whose characters sufficiently vouch for the sport being conducted on the best, most liberal, and impartial principles. They have long been supporters of coursing at the principal meetings in the kingdom; and as we hear it is their earnest desire to create and maintain the Biggar Coursing in the light and footing of truly national rather thau merely local meetings, we hope they will receive the support of every true lover of coursing, and of British field sports generally; and that a large entry for the St Leger, which closes on the 15th inst, will be made from the clubs of every district in the three kingdoms. It has hitherto afforded a greater number and larger amount of prizes than any other produce meeting in the coursing world, the entry money, £ 3 10s, being trifling compared with prizes of £ 150, £ 50, £ 30, & c, descending proportionably to the eighth degree, according to the number of entries. Hares at that early season are very plentiful, and the ground then by no means severe or injurious to puppies, and, what is very important to coursers, it offers an early and excellent opportunity of testing the merits of their greyhounds for the ensuing season, as it has generally been found that a winner here will distinguish itself on any other coursing ground. What is also important, it is readily and cheaply accessible by railway, and good quarters on very moderate terms are easily got at Abington and Crawford John, the tenantry and others on the lands affording every facility and hospitality, and every encouragement in promotion sport. GREYHOUND PRODUCE. On the 13th ult, Mr Cloudsdale's ( of Bowness) bitch Mystery, by Wigan out of Repentance, whelped five puppies by The Judge, namely, one white and red dog, one white and red bitch, one red bitch, and two red and white bitches. On the 23d of May, Mr Marshall's red bitch Minnie, by Webb's War Eagle, seven puppies to his dog Lord Mayor— one black dog, three black bitches, two red dogs, one red bitch. pigeon shooting. AT HOFTKSEY WOOD, on Monday and Tuesday last, several rifle matches were shot. Messrs Brett, Harmer, Pool, and Whitemarsh shot for a Minio rifle aud case, 12 rounds, 200 yards range, when Mr W. won, marking 11, including 2 bullseyes. Several matches and sweepstakes, at starlings and sparrows, were also shot. On Wednesday next there will be no shooting, tha grounds being engaged. On Saturday next Barber will be on the ground as usual with plenty of pigeons, & c. AT THE LILLIEAEMS, Old Brompton, shooting every Tuesday. Always plenty of pigeons, starlings, and sparrows. Ammunition also to be had. Private parties accommodated. There is also a plate to test guns. AT THE VINE IKS', Aston, near Birmingham, to- morrow ( Monday), a silver watch, valued at £ 2, will be shot for, by 16 members ( open to all), at 2s 6d each, 3 sparrows each, 16 yards rise, ljoz of shot, the green the boundary. The winner can have the watch or money. Also, on the same day, a sweepstakes will take place, for prizes, as the members like to decide. A good supply of birds will be on the ground. Shooting to commence at two o'clock. ME THOMAS COTTIS of Westbromwich is matched with Mr Baker of same place, Cottis giving 11 birds to 10, for £ 10 a side, to find and trap against each other; to come off on July 20. £ 1 a side is down, and they meet to* morrow ( Monday), at Mr Baker's, Swan Village, to make it £ 5 a side, and the final of £ 5 a side on the 18th inst. AT THE FOX AND HOUNDS INN, Bradford, a £ 1 sweepstakes will come off to- morrow ( Monday), at 7 birds each, lfoz of shot, 21 yards rise, 60 fall. Also a 5s sweepstakes, at 5 sparrows each. And on Saturday, the 11th inst, a sweepstakes, on the same conditions. A NOVICE can he found to shoot a match with any man in Bristol ( bar Snaillum), for £ 10 or £ 25 a side. An answer through Bell's Life will be attended to, or the party will be at H. New- man's, Back Hall Tavern, on Tuesday evening, to make a match. WM. ROWLEY of Leeds will shoot a match with Fred Baxter of Churwell or John Clark of Churwell, for from £ 5 to £ 10 a side, from 14oz to lfoz of shot. A match can be made at Mr Joseph rower, knew nothing about the task imposed upon him. Page's, the Woolpack Inn, Armley. ' ~ " THURSDAY.—" Every dog has his day" is an old saying, and although it may be very disrespectful to make use of such an expression towards a luminary, still it is no less true, and, accordingly, if Aquarius was reigning sovereign at Kingston on Wednesday, Sol came out in triumph on Thursday, and accom- paisying him were vast numbers of eager expectants, who lined the banks in every direction; a large party of ladies and gentle- men collected in the gardens of Mr W. Shrubsole, and of the Sun Hotel. Langham's Grand Stand was not very full, a great many people preferring to have a row or be rowed about on the Thames, rather than being [ enclosed. Precisely at one o'clock the sport commenced, and was continued punctually at half- hourly in- tervals throughout the day. All the finals from the previous day, it will be seen, were rowed on Thursday; the proceedings commencing with LOCAL PAIR OARS ( with coxswains), in one heat. Messrs Woodbridge and Warner ( Teddington), H. Weston ( cox) Red 1 Messrs Jackson and Drake ( Moulsey), G. Wes- ton ( cox) Green and Go'd 0 This was a very fine race; they got away together, and pulled side by side to the top of the Island, Woodbridge aud Warner then step by step left their opponents till they were two lengths in advance of them ; off Townsend Messrs Jackson and Drake began to pull manfully, and in the next hundred yards had drawn themselves close to their opponents, and presently came up with them again. This lasted nearly all the way, when Wood- bridge and Warner, putting on two or three spurts, came in the winners by about half a clear length. TRADESMEN'S PAIR OARS ( with coxswains), in one heat. Messrs Mudie and Gray, Wood ( cox) White 1 Messrs M'Intyre and Benn, M'Intyre ( cox) Blue 0 It was a good start. The lead was taken by M'Intyre and Benn, who held it for three hundred yards, when Mudie and Gray put on a spurt and collared their opponents, and after passing them, increased their lead at the finish to four lengths. JUNIOR PAIR OARS. FIBST HEAT. OXEOBD.— Messrs Gurdon and Thomas Dark Blue 1 LONDON ROWING CLUB.— Messrs C. A. Turner and Randall Pink and White 0 It was a very good start, and would probably have been a capital race. Messrs Turner and Randall, after rowing about two hundred yards and having a slight lead, went right into a bank, when Messrs Gurdon and Thomas wen tin advance, and won easily. SECOND HEAT. LONDON ROWING CLUB.— Messrs T. H. Turner and C. Wray Scarlet 1 PEMBROKE COLL ( Oxford).— Messrs Davies and Barron. White 0 Messrs Turner and Wray at the first stroke took the lead, and then went right away from their opponents. FINAL HEAT. OXFOBD.— Messrs Gurdon and Thomas Dark Blue 1 LONDON.— Messrs T. H. Turner and Wray Scarlet 0 Messrs Gurdon and Thomas took the lead, and kept it to the end, being easy winners; their rowing was much admired. The race would probably have been better but that it was alleged Turner becoming unsteady, sent the boat in a zig- zag motion all the way down. GIGS NOT OUTRIGGED, in one heat. Messrs Pyle aud Wray Red 1 Messrs Drake and C. Stahlschmidt Green and Gold 0 Messrs Caird and Camroux Red and Black 0 Messrs Nottidge and Casamajor had entered for this race, but withdrew in order to make sport. Messrs Caird aud Camroux fell astern immediately after starting, and did not row the dis- tance. Messrs Pyle and Wray, and Drake and Stahlschmidt, were together for a few strokes, when Messrs Pyle and Wray drew in advance, aud rowing easily, came in winners by four or five lengths. JUNIOR SCULLS.—( Finished from Wednesday.) FINAL HEAT. Mr W. Busk Yellow 11 Mr E. D. Butts Pink 0 Mr W. Addison Blue o| It was an excellent contest with all the competitors for two hundred yards, when Mr Butts being left in the rear, Messrs Busk and Addison drew out by themselves, and were skull and skull for a quarter of a mile; Mr Busk then gradually drew away from his opponent, and was two lengths ahead at the Grand Stand, where Mr Butts relinquished the competition. At this point Mr Busk put on a spurt, and came in first by four lengths, the pace having completely baked Mr Addison. GIG RACE ( with coxswains) for youths uuder 16, the sons of gentlemen, in one heat. H. Weston and G. Weston, E. Weston ( cox). White 1 E. Marston and C. Marston, W. Shrubsole ( cox) Blue 0 This was a very pretty race, and was looked forward to with a great deal of interest by the relatives of the parties and their friends, all the competitors being sons of the principal gentle- men connected with the regatta. The little Westons were aged respectively 13,11, and 8, and the opposing party 16,14, and 12, the Marstons being stronger, but their opponents more skilful. Neither of them rowed in very good boats, especially the Mar- stons, who also had a little boy to steer them, who, though a good They The London Rowing Club had the Berks side. Mr Nind, formerly of Christ Church, Oxford, and one of the most accom- plished oarsman of his day, officiated as umpire in this race. From the very first stroke the London Rawing Club took the lead, and drew away, and after three hundred yards were their length clear. The Oxonians then began to pick up, pressing the Londoners with great severity, and fast decreasing, for a time, their advantage. Just below the Poplars the Londoners again drew away, increasing their advantage to a length and a quarter at the Grand Stand, where No. 4 in the Oxford boat broke his oar; they, however, gallantly rowed on, and finished with about the same gap between them.

CITY INTELLIGENCE. The variation in the English Stock Market during the past week has not been very important, namely, about 4 per cent. The tendency has been rather unfavourable, in consequence of the depression on the Paris Bourse, and the closing of Bull ac- counts. The favourable indications apparent iu the Money Market have had no effect upan prices. The closing quotations of Consols yesterday afternoon were firmer, namely, 92F The New Three per Cents and the Reduced Annuities have been dull at about previous rates. Exchequer Bills were exceedingly de- pressed during the week, but they have since been firmer, viz, at 4s dis to par."„ There has been a good demand for money in the " Hsuse," and high rates have been paid for accommodation. The latest prices on Friday afternooa of the English Funds were— Bank Stock, 213 \ Reduced Annuities, 92| | New 3 per Cents, 92f i Long Annuities, 2 7- 16 4 Exchequer Bills, 4s dis to par India Bonds ( under £ 1,000), 6 dig India Stock, 221 Consols for Account, 92f 1 The market for Foreign Stocks has been rather active during the past week, and most of the principal securities have been dealt in to a fair extent. Prices generally have exhibited an improvement, having in some measure been influenced by the increased firmness of Consols. Turkish Six per Cents, which at one time were at 95f, improved to 90|, being an advance of nearly 1 per cent. Peruvian, Russian, Sardinian, and Spanish Bonds also realised slightly improved values.

Most of the principal lines exhibited a decline upon previous quotations, but when the arrangements were completed an im- provement to a small extent took place, the advance being about 4 to 1 per cent. The foreign and colonial lines have been buoyant, and Great Western, and Grand Trunk of Canada have shown considerable fluctuation. Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares during the week have been exceedingly inactive, and prices generally have shown but little variation from previous quotations.

BELL'S LIFE ANNUAL WAYGOOSE DINNEE.— The celebration of this time- honoured festival took place on Tuesday last at the " Sun," Kingston- on- Thames, where about forty gentlemen con- nected with the establishment, including one of the munificent proprietors, the editors, & c, sat down to a sumptuous entertain ment, provided by Mr Bond in his usual recherche style. The festivities of the evening were of the most social and agreeable nature, and the " feast of reason and the flow of soul" were never more happily and harmoniously blended. Not until a late period of the evening could the jovial assemblage be induced to separate, which at length they did, giving " three times three, and one cheer more" for " LONG LIFE TO BELL'S LIFE." FEEE BLACKS IN THE WEST INDIES.— We are authorised to state that, though the subject of importation of free blacks into the West Indies was mentioned in the course of the conver- sation between Lord Palmerston and a deputation of the West India body introduced by Lord Shaftsbury, the noble earl is decidedly opposed to such an experiment, regarding it as peril- ous in the extreme. SAILING OF LADY FBANKLIN'S EXPEDITION.— The Fox crew steamer, fitted out at Aberdeen by Lady Franklin, sailed from that port on Wednesday morning in search of the remains of Sir John Franklin and his orew. DEATH OF THE EAEL OF MOENINGTON.— This nobleman, who was born in 1788, died on Thursday, after a short illness. He is succeeded by his son, Viscount Wellesley. THE MIJEDEE AT STEATFOED.— On Saturday Michael Craw- ley, aged 62, was finally examined before the Ilford magistrates for the murder of his wife with a billhook. The facts were stated in our last, so that it is unnecessary for us to repeat them. Cure No. 49,832.—" Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness at the stomach, and vomiting have been removed by Du Barry's excellent food.— Maria Jolly, Wortham Ling, near Diss, Norfolk."

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB On Thursday, July 2, the secand match of this club took place' and, being for third class yachts, afforded, as is often the case, a verv pretty and amusing contest. The following vessels entered and appeared at the startiEg buoys above Erith, No 1 being nearest the Kent shore :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1 LITTLE MOSQUITO 8 Mr E. S. Bulmer. 2. INVICTA I Mr W. Tuckwell. 3. JULIA. ? Mr P. Turner. 4. BLUEBELL o Mr J. Ridgway. 5. VIOLET 9 Mr J. R. Kirby. 6. UNDINE 9 Mr E. Searle. The course was from Erith round a flag- boat moored off Goal House Point, and back to Greenwich. Time alio wed one minute a ton. The prizes were a claret jug, value £ 20, for the first boat, £ 10 for the second, and £ 5 for the third. The other boats are so weli kno wn that those who take any interest in sailing will not require information as to any but the Undine and Bluebell. The Undine is new, and built by the celebrated boat builders, Messrs Searle, and is a sort of Bermudian, with an immense mast, an outrageous sliding gunter topmast, a good standing bowsprit, and a very long boom. She seems fast off the wind, but not so turning to windward, and her spars and sails are obvi- ously far too large; in fact, if there had been any wind she would liave capsized or been obliged to bring up. The Blue Belle is an old looking little boat, with small old sails, not intendedjfor racing. The morning was very gloomy, and had threatened a strong north wind, but towards eleven o'clock the wind fell off, and, as will be seen, was very light throughout the day ; at the time of the start it was about N. N. E., dark and gloomy. The first gun was fired at 11: 33 and the second gun 11: 38: 10. The Little Mosquito was round in a twinkling, and had her three lower sails up in 40 seconds; but being to leeward, and out of the tide, she necessarily fell behind. Julia was the first to start off, but Undine and Violet being well in the tide, soon took the lead, Violet passing to windward of Undine almost immediately. The vessels soon set their big working topsails, Undine carrying only a jib and a mainsail, not hoisted up by the sliding gunter to its full height, and of course reefed on the boom. At Purfleet they were in the following order:— Violet, Undine, Julia, Blue1 Belle, Mosquito, Invicta. Shortly after they entered Long Reach, Mosquito tried to pass Julia, but this of course was not allowed, and Mosquito wisely did not lose time by trying to pass to windward. About half yay down Long Reach the wind came ro. undto the east, so that the vessels scarcely pointed down, and in St Clements it was nearly ahead. After a board or two. Little Mosquito tacked at a most judicious moment, and came close to Julia, both of them gaining fast on Undine, which pointed well, but did not move, and was terribly slow in stays, and so crank, that she was down on her side with not more wind than the other vessels required to give them the proper list. Next board she was easily passed by Julia and Mosquito, and on entering Northfleet Hope Julia seemed to us to tack full three lengths too soon, allowing Mosquito to get to windward— a fault for which the penalty was soon paid, as about half way down the reach Mosquito fairly passed Julia to windward. At the lower end of this reach, Violet was very unlucky in the wind, and was obliged to bear away into the bight, whilst Mosquito and Julia were able to keep the weather shore with a pleasant breeze, and when the Violet put about, were some distance to windward of her. Just here the four vessels were close together, and with the half dozeiiaccompanying yachts formed a very pretty sight, to which only the sun was wanting. Off Northfleet Undine caught a splendid free puff, and went along the north shore mer- rily on her side, whilst the others fell away to leeward in a calm, till Violet made a trip over to the north shore, as did Mosquito soon afterwards. Gravesead was reached at 1: 10, Undine leading well, Mosquito next, Violet third, Julia apparently ahead of all, but: to leeward, she being the only vessel which fetched through Gravesend Rea » h without tacking. About a mile above Coal House Point, Mosquito and Violet passed with the greatest ease through Undine's lee, and they rounded the flag boat about a quarter of a mile below the Ovens Buoy, close together, as follows: H.

Violet also set a squaresail, and these two vessels had such a much better fit out of balloon sails than the Mosquito had, that her chance seemed poor, and the match was quite undecided. The Undine was, we suppose, going to set something wonderful, and lowered her jib for the purpose, but unluckily for her she immediately went ashore; we rather think that she would not steer without her jib, and luffed up to the mud, where she remained till the club steamer came to her assistance and tugged her off; after which we saw no . more of her. It seemed for some time to be anybody's prize; but by the time the vessels had reached Gravesend it became pretty clear that crowding all the canvas in the world would not do, and that the Little Mosquito was quite safe, as she gained slowly but steadily all the way. The wind fell very light at times, and the tide continued to ebb, so that this portion of the match was very tedious. The Invicta set a very fine balloon jib and a little jib topsail, and both she and the Blue Belle gained rapidly on Violet. The flood did not reach the vessels till Erith, after which the wind fell very light— at one time the Little Mosquito had hardly steerage way. Violet set a square topsail, and got away from Invicta. After they passed Halfway Reach the wind rather freshened, and came round to about E. S. E., and the sun at length honoured the match by his presence. The vessels pur- sued their somewhat slow course, and passed the flag- buoy off Greenwich Hospital as follows, wind being nearly S. W. :— N. m. s, | H. M. s. I H. M. s. LITTLE Mos- JULIA ... 7 2 20 BLUE BELLE.. 7 26 20 QUITO 6 50 20 I VIOLET ...... 7 9 0 | INVICTA 7 26 45 Little Mosquito and Violet were each obliged to make a tack in Greenwich Reach; Julia was more Jucky, and came straight up. The arrival of the Blue Belle, which looked a mere toy by the side of the Invicta, created much amusement, and was greeted with three cheers. Soon after the winners had come in, tiie prizes were duly presented to their respective owners by the Commodore, Mr Goodson, and the proceedings of the day terminated. Little Mosquito is in luck this year with light winds, as she was in bad luck last year; and it now seems pretty certain that in light winds, or as long as as a gaff- topsail can be carried, nothing in the Thames can beat her. When it blows, and there are reefs down, the Violet and one or two more over- power the little Little Mosquito, for it must be recollected that she is very small of her tonnage. She was sailed, as usual, by Mr Truckell, of Itchen Ferry, and piloted by Keeling, of Gravesend. The Father Thames steamer was hired by the club, and had on board a company of about a hundred; the threatening appearance of the morning probably prevented a larger assemblage. The victualling department was on this occasion much more satisfactorily managed, and the improvement deserves praise. The band of the Royal Artillery was on board, and served to amuse the company, and to keep them engaged in dancing during the rather tedious retam of the vessels. We cannot help suspecting that the club must have made a miscalculation, and chosen a day when the tide would suit for Chapman Head, as the vessels had tide against them for nearly two hours on the return, ana if the wind had been westerly we could not venture to conjecture the hour to which the match would have been protracted. As it was, however, all terminated pleasantly, with the arrival of the steamer at London Bridge within a few minutes after eight. ROYAL HARWICH YACHT CLUB. The regatta of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club ( always con. sidered one of the most important on the eastern coast), which took place on Tuesday last, June 30, will long be remembered in the yachting world for its eminent success. Very often at a regatta or yacht club match we have some cause of regret either a large entry and no wind, a fine breeze and few yachts, heavy rain to spoil the pleasure of the day, or a protest to destroy good feeling. On this occasion we were compelled to be satisfied, spite of a strong desire to show our knowledge by finding fault. A fine day, with only an occasional shower to cool the rays of old Sol; a breeze strong enough to show the best qualities of the large vessels, and not too much for their smaller rivals ; a long list of valuable prizes ; officers and club committee who left nothing to be desired in their management and arrangements ; and a fleet of yachts never before equalled in Harwich harbour. Midway across the harbour, and opposite the Esplanade, lay the flag- vessel of the day ( a perfect parterre of bunting), the Commodore ( A. Arcedeckne, Esq) having placed at the disposal of the committee his fine cutter Gnome, 25 tons. The beautiful schooner Aquiline, 55 tons, belonging to the Vice- Cotamodore ( J. Cardinall, Esq), was higher up the harbour, in company with the Vestal ( schooner), 74 tons, F. O. Marshall, Esq, winner of the R. T. Y. C. Cup this season ; and the Zouave ( schooner), 105 tons, O. M, Arabin, Esq. The Vestal and Zouave, rivalling each other in their gay show of flags, an example followed by the Dew Drop ( cutter), 18 tons, A. Cobbold, Esq, Rear- Commodore R. H. Y. C., anchored near the lighthouse. At anchor, on cruising jf'oout, we recognised the Seoret, 11 tons, F. J. Wiseman, Esq; Gulnare, 24 tons, G. F. Browning, Esq ; Thought, 29 tons, F. O. Marshall, Esq; Georgians, 18 tons, H. Ayckbourn, Esq; Kitten, 13 tons, R. Leach, Esq; Avalon, 38 tons, J. Goodson, Esq, Commodore R. L. Y. C.: Violet, 29 tons, G. R. Kirby, Esq, Vice- Commodore R. L. Y. C.; Will- o'- the- Wisp, 55 tons, G. Tavlor, Esq; Spell, Trower, Esq; Mars, 23 tons, G. Haiues, Esq; Phantom, 27 tons, S. Laue, Esq; Bittern, 43 tons, C. F. Chef- fins, Esq ; Silver Star, 25 tons, J. Mann, Esq ; Quiz, 12 tons, R. D, Poppleton, Esq; Greyhound, 10 tons, Frauds, Esq; Waterkelpie, 4 tons, J. Gardiner, Esq ; Stella, 5 tons, Hardy, Esq ; Vesper, 6 tons, C. M. Nalborough, Esq ; Rifleman, 8 tons, Bennet, Esq ; Amy, & c, & c. In the midst, like a giant amongst the fairies, towered the dark sides and proud spars of H. M. S. Southampton, 50 guns, while ston& dredging boats, barges, and other craft— intended to take a part in the sports of the day- formed a consistent back ground to this gay picture. The London steamer ( lately Lord Ward's steam yacht, now the first of a line of splendid packets to run between Harwich and Rotterdam in connection with the Eastern Counties Railway), and the Prince took out large parties to see the matches, while every train that arrived brought a large inorease to the popula- tion of the ancient town, attracted by she following programme: A Piece of Plate, value 60 guineas, presented by A. Arcedeckne, Esq, Commodore; to be sailed for by yachts of any rig or ton- nage belonging to a royal yacht club; time race; in'this match the owners must be on board their respective yachts ; the winner to present three dozen of champagne to the dinner.— A. Piece of Plate, value 20 guineas, presented by the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company; to be sailed for by yachts of any rig or tounage belonging to the Royal Harwich Yacht Club ; time race.— A Piece of Plate, value 10 guineas, to be sailed for by yachts not exceeding 12 tons, belonging to the Royal Harwich Yacht Club; the winner to pay £ 1 to the regatta fund. In the above three matohes the tonnage of yachts to be regulated by the measurement of the R. T. Y. C. or the R. L. Y. C.; no en- trance fee to be paid, and four yachts to start or no race.— A Purse of 10 guineas, presented by J. Cardinall, Esq, Vice- Commo- dore ; to be sailed for by stone- dredging boats, not exceeding 16 tons register, beloisgingto Harwich or Ipswick; first boat 5guineas, second 3 guineas, third 2 guineas; entrance 23 6d.— A Cup, value 5 guineas, presented by Arthur Cobbold, Esq, Rear- Commodore; to be sailed for by cuttsr- rigged pleasure boats, not exceeding 25 feet in length; entrance fee, 2s 6i.— A Purse of £ 15 (£ 5 of which presented by Captain Sir George Broke, Bart, R. N.); to be sailed for by barges of any rig or tonnage belonging to the Harwich Barge. Sailing Club; first barge £ 10, second £ 5.— Four Rowing Matches, viz, First Match, by four- oared boats not less than 30 feet in length ; first boat 3 guineas, second 1 guinea, third 5s. Second Match, by four- oared galleys, built for sailing and rowing, not exceeding 25 feet in length ; first boat 2 guineas, second 1 guinea, third 5s. Third Match, by two- oared boats not exceeding 16 feet in length ; first boat 30s, second 10s, third 5s. Fourth Match, by two- oared boats not exceeding 15 feet in length, to be rowed by Harwich watermen; first boat £ 1, second 103, third 5s.— A Duck Hunt and other amusements.— Where tonnage was not restricted, the yachts to slip from their own anchors abreast of the starting- vessel ( the yacht Gnome), thence to the Cork light- vessel, thence to the mark- boat with red flag at the Stone Bench, thence into the Harbour, passing between the starting- vessel and the boat with a white flag, thence to Erwarton Bay station- boat ( red flag), thence to the starting- vessel; leaving the Cork Light and all the station- boats on their starboard hand; twice round.— Yachts not exceeding 12 tons to slip from their anchors abreast of the starting- vessel, and proceed to the station- boat with a red flag on the Rolling Ground, thence into the Harbour, passing be- tween the startiug- vessel and the boat with white flag, thence to Erwarton Bay station- boat ( red flag), leaving all the sta- tion- boats on their starboard hand, thence to the starting- vessel, passing between her and the boat with white flag; twice round.— Course for the Barges and Stone- dredging Boats same as above, where tonnage was not restricted; once round only.— A single gun, to take their stations; a second gun, to prepare ; a third gun, to start. The vessels for the next race then immediately took up their stations, when a preparatsry gun was fired, and five minutes afterwards a second' gun— to start. The courses were admirably arranged, giving opportunity of testing the capabilities of the yachts in running, reaching, or beating; and, if the rough water and strong breeze outside gave an advantage to the larger ones, the smaller were equally fa- voured by the smoother and more sheltered water inside* the harbour. At 11: 30 the first gun was fired for yachts entered for the second prize to take their stations. The following were soon in position:— NAME. . BIG. TONS. OWNEB. 1. VESTAL schooner .... 74 .... Mr F. O. Marshall L 2. KITTEN cutter .... 13 Mr R. Leach j 3. ATALON cutter .... 38 .... Mr J. Goodson ' This being a time race of half a minute per ton, created con- siderable interest, from the great difference of tonnage in the yachts ; and, although it seemed absurd for a 13 ton vessel to oontend against one of 74, still those who know the Kitten felt pretty certain that, with 30imin from the Vestal, and 12i from the Avalon, her chance of winning was great, unless the wind outside the harbour proved too much for her. It is but fair to say that the owners of the Vestal and Avalon entered them to make up the match, none of the Kitten's class having the courage to contend against her. Tke gun to prepare was fired at 11: 40, and caused a false start on the part of the Avalon and Kitten, but the error was soon rectified, and at 11: 45, at the firing of the third gun, away they went. The Vestal was first under canvas. The Kitten, however, took the lead under mainsail, foresail, and jib; the schooner having the weathergage, both standing over towards the LandguardFort Beach at an alarming pace, and a little ahead of the Avalon, who was first to set a top- sail. At the first board the Vestal gained rapidly, and abreast of the fort on the starboard tack had a decided lead, but getting a slant of wind between the point and rolling ground was obliged to bear away. The Kitten, taking advantage of this, slipped round and again took the lead on her way to the Cork Light. In the open water power soon told, and the Vestal and Avalon, as might be expected, became first and second. On rounding Stone Bench the Vestal was a long way ahead. All now showed as much canvas as possible, the Vestal under topsails and stay- sail with mainsails wing and wing; the Avalon and Kitten with foresail boomed out to windward. Away up the harbour, past the committee vessel into the smooth water, round the boat at Arwaton, and back to the starting point, the first round being completed by H. M. S. I H. MI.' S. I H. M. S.

Marshall. 2. PHANTOM 27 Mr S. Lane. 3. SILVER STAB 24 Mr J. Mann. 4. MAES 23 Mr G. Haines. Of the two first we have nothing to say, simply because the subject is exhausted; except that the Thought is now the pro- perty of F. O. Marshall, Esq, owner of the Vestal, a gentleman who will make her, if it be possible, take the laurels from her celebrated rival. The start took place at 12: 15. Thought and Phantom set canvas together, and were off as if handled by one crew. Mars was slow to follow, having fouled a flag- boat and drifted astern some distance before she could get clear and fairly start. Silver Star did not attempt to get away, apparently alarmed at the pace of the great rivals, and, allowing a few minutes to elapse, struck her sailing colours, set burgee, and quietly cruised about. On nearing the Suffolk coast, Phantom led ; Thought, however, being the windward vessel on taeking, Phantom was obliged to shake up in the wind to avoid fouling the Thought, who, tacking close under her bows, was round in a moment, taking advantage of the chance to get the lead. The Phantom, however, had turned the tables before they returned to the harbour, and the first course was H. M. s. | H. M. S. PHANTOM 2 41 151 THOUGHT 2 4115 On passing the flag vessel Thought shook up cleverly, sailed nearer the wind than the Phantom, going to windward of a schooner at anchor, which Phantom was obliged to pass to lee- ward, and kept the wind to the Landgaard Fort shore. Here Phantom made short tacks to secure her lead, and on next tack to windward increased the distance between herself and anta- gonist, being a great deal ahead on rounding the point; the match, however, was sailed closely throughout. Sometimes Thought would gain a little, and then Phantom would draw ahead. No one could say who would win, for between these vessels it must ever be " trifles" that win the day. Phanto m was again fortunate, and won by three minutes, coming in— H. M. s. I H. M. S. PHANTOM 5 14 o | THOUGHT 5 17 0 For the third prize, Yachts under 12 tons, five entered. NAME. TONS. OWNER. 1.

Sail was made by all very smartly, and Rifleman got off first, Violet second; the positions, however, were soon changed. Violet maintained her character of being the best yaeht of her tonnage afloat, and Greyhound became second, her two tons over the Rifleman telling in such a breeze. The three yachts finished the first round :— FIRST COURSE. SECOND COURSE. H. M. s. H. M. s.

This match caused great interest, and deserves special notice, not for the numbers contending, but for the spirit and pluck exhibited by the owner of the Quickstep, a Greenwich skiff, celebrated in the Thames for her beauty and speed. It required the spirit of a true yachtsman to bring this little open boat, 21 feet in length, to Harwich to contend against clippers on their own water, and on going to enter at the club- house an ob- jection was raised. The Quickstep had a sprit sail instead of gaff mainsail; this was considered by the majority fatal to her claim of being cutter rigged; some on the committee, however, warmly supported her, out her owner settled the question by cutting her sprit down into a gaff, which compelled him to re- duce the size of his mainsail by reefi ng, even then his boom being inconveniently low, and on the gun being fired took his station. 1. QUIKSTEP, 21 feet | 2. GOMBT, 23 feet. The gun to start was fired atj 1: 6, The Quickstep made a beau- tiful start, and was 100 yards a head before the Comet got under way. On passing the committee vessel first, time Mr Rowe hailed to know if they could carry square sails, and was answered in the affirmative ; but his antagonist kept to her original canvas, and being much larger, gained rapidly, Rowe, however, was determined to win fairly, and did not increase his canvas. The Comet still gained rapidly, and on approaching the goal, so close were they together that none could tell which would pass first; at length the gun is fired, H. M. S. I H. M. S. QUICKSTEP 3 5 451 COMET 3 5 55 the Quickstep winning by ten seconds. Mr Rswe's spirit should be emulated by many owners of large yachts. The next prize, value 10 guineas, for stone dredgers, is essen- tially a Harwich match. Many of them are fine vessels and well handled; space, however, will not allow of the notice they de- served, and we can only give the results of this and the remain- ing matches. The following took the stations at 1: 10:— Providence, 15 tons ; Margaret, 8 tons; Aid, 15 tons ; Ruby, 12 tons; Magnet, ll tons ; Queen, 15 tons. They came in as follows:— Aid, 4: 52; Providence, 4: 57 ; Margaret, 4: 58 The prize for barges was won by the John Etherden, beating the Lavanter by 7^ mia, her other rivals, the Rapid ap/ 1 Charles Napier, not being timed. _ : _ ROWING MATCHES. * ^^ GIFIEST MATCH by four- oared boats, aot less than 30 feet in length : Naiad, 1; Landguard Fort, 2.

The dinner took place at the club house, about'forty gentlemen sitting down, the chair and vice chair being filled by the Com- modore, A. Arcedeckne, Esq, and the Vice- Commodore, J. Car- dinall, Esq. Among the guests were Grinnel, Esq, of the eminent ship building firm at New York; J. Goodson, Esq, Commodore R. L. Y. C.; W. Goodson, Esq; G. C. Eagle, Esq; F. O. Marshall, Esq; P.

On the removal of the cloth, and after the usual loyal toasts, the prizes were presented to the winners by the Commodore in his usual happy manner. To R, Lane, Esq, the Commodore's Plate, a magnificent silver tea service of beautiful design, manufactured by Messrs Hancock and Co. To R.

Kirby, Esq, as winner of the third prize, and to the spirited owner of the Quickstep the beautiful little cup presented by A. Cobbold, Esq, Rear Commodore. The party did not break tip till a late hour. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. A very large and highly influential company attended the first monthly meeting at the new club house, on Wednesday evening, the 1st instant. The noble Commodore, Lord Alfred Paget, M. P., occupied the chair. The house dinner was inaugurated by the presence or some seventy members and friends, which took plaee in the grand saloon attached to the club- house, an en- trance having been opened through to the Wellington, thus facilitating ingress and egress on the occasion of these monthly gatherings. Soon after nine p. m. the business of the evening commenced by the secretary reading the minutes of the 3d of June, which were unauimously confirmed. The treasurer then brought forward his report to the 30th of June, duly certified by the auditors, when the balance in favour of the club, after the payment of all necessary and current expenses, amounted to £ 634 15s 9d ( exclusive of £ 1,700, vested " in the Three per Cent Consols). Such a report, we need hardly say, was adopted neni con, tending, as it does, to prove the steady and onward movement of this club. There were upwards of thirty candidates balloted for and elected, L ncluding Count Edmund Bathy& ii de Strattman, Hen- riette, cutter, 31 tons; Richard Clay, Esq, Rose of York, cutter, 25 tons; Charles Rule, Esq, Frolic, cutter, 7 tons, & c, & e, & c. The secretary read a letter from Captain Dowman, hon sec Kinsale Club, announcing a fortnight's invitation to members of royal yacht clubs and their friends, visiting Kinsale in their yachts, on being intraduced by a member of the committee, or the secretary. It was resolved that the foregoing letter be re- ceived and acknowledged. A letter was also read from Lieut H, D. P. Cunningham, R. N. ( Alfred, brigantine, R. T. Y. C.), with re- ference to the excessive charges attendant on yachts entering the port of Havre. The said letter was ordered to be referred to the Sailing Committee at their next meeting. A lengthened dis- cussion then took place relative to further increase of accom- modation consequent upon the number of candidates entering the club. That such accommodation can be obtained, and that most advantageously, is doubtless true, but extended outlay in- volves corresponding increase of expenditure, and consequently the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : " That a special general meeting of the club be appointed to take place at 8: 30 p. m., on Wednesday evening next, the 8th inst, for the purpose of taking into consideration the report of the House Committee, with a view to increasing the accommodation of the club to the extent of £ 200 per annum." Several candidates were then announced for the first ballot after the recess ( 7th of October), and the meeting was declared adjourned. The last night of entry for the third match, on July the 18th, will take place on Thursday evening next, the night after the special general meeting. Yachts must be eutered before 10 p. m. Entrance, Is per ton. The steamer Magician is engaged to attend the match, and the Coldstreams will again enliven with their excellent band. THE LATE ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB SCHOONER MATCH. Ms EDITOE : I perceive in your paper of last week two letters of objection to the award of prizes in the late Royal Thames Yacht Club Schooner Match, and as the rule of the club does not appear to be coiamonly understood, I venture to state what it has long ago been decided to be. That when two classes of vessels sail, and there is a prize for each class, the vessel coming in absolutely first takes the first prize, and the winning vessel of the other class takes the second prize. The rule has never been that the prizes are given te the first and second vessels, but one prize to each class ; and " A Sufferer" has no more reason to complain of the decision, and to talk of injustice, than the owner of the Zouave has reason to complain because, being fir3t of the first class, he has not the first prize, or because he was not allowed to shift ballast, or of any other rule. The present rule seems, at first sight, to be fair enough, and is certainly better than that proposed by " Fairplay," which, as printed, cannot be understood. There is, however, great doubt whether the club will aot be forced to change the rule, and to give the first prize to the winning vessel of the first class, whetherbeatenby a second class vessel or not, otherwise great difficulties may arise at some time. Suppose three vessels of 76, 74, and 60 tons to come in as follows :— 74 at 6h, 76 at 6h lOsec, and 60 at 6h 3min. Here, according to the present rule, 76 cannot take the first prize, having bcun beaten by 74, a second class vessel, but 74 again cannot take any prize, having been beaten ( with time) by 60, which again can have no right to the first prize, having been beaten by a first class vessel. It has been con- tended that in such a case the first prize should go to 60, and the second to 76, but surely there can be no reason for giving the first prize to the third vessel merely because another vessel of 74 tons happens to be a little faster than one of 76 tons ?,' for this would practically bring the vessels into one class. The general result appears to be that, if there are to be two classes, they must be kept distinct, and a prize allotted to each ; and in answer to the objection that a beaten vessel ought not to have the first prize, it may be said that the larger vessels are gene- rally much more of yachts and less of sailing machines, and that the main objeot of having two classes is to encourage such vessels. As an iustance, I should say, judging from appear- ances, that for all purposes of a yacht, except match sailing, the Zouave is far superior to the Vestal or Wildfire ; and that any one who had the opportunity of choosing a yacht would much prefer the Zouave.— Yours, & c, C. M. Mr EDITOE : The recent decision of the Sailing Committee, on the race between the Vestal, Wildfire, and Zouave, awarding the second prize to the third vessel, one of the first class, while the two first were of an inferior class, seems to me not only anoma- lous in itself, but contrary to the express rule of the Royal Thames Yacht Club ; and opposed to its object the 26th rule specifies that " if in any match a yacht of an inferior class shall come in ahead of a superior class, she shall receive the prize, to which she would have been entitled, if she had belonged to such su- perior class." Under this rule it is clear the second vessel, not- withs tanding her being of an inferior class, must be entitled to the second prize; yet the Sailing Committee have decided other- wise, and have passed over my yacht, the " Wildfire," in favour of the " Zouave," which came in third. Surely this is neither politic nor fair. I think the committee, in justice to all parties interested in these matches, should assign the reason for de- parting from their own rule. Yours, & c, JOHN TUENEB TUESEE. Bramshaw House, July 2gl, 1857. Mr EDITOE : You were good enough to insert a letter of mine last week on the subject of the Royal Thames Yacht Club prizes. By a misprint, however, or by a mistake of mine, the whole pith of the rule I proposed is gone. In your impression the rule stood thus:—" When two prizes are sailed for on the same day, the two leading vessels shall be entitled to them in the order in which they arrive at the goal. Should either of these vessel, however, belong to the second class, then the lead- ing vessel of that class shall be entitled to the second class." It should have been: " Should neither of these vessels, however, belong to the second class," & c. Begging you to insert this obvious mistake, I am, & c, FAIEPIAT. BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB. The second sailing match of the season came off on Saturday last, and excited no little interest, from the fact that both classes of yachts were to contend for prizes, viz, the yachts of the first class under eight tons, and of the second class of two tons. The prizes were a silver cup of £ 15 for the first class, and of £ 5 for the second class. The Birkenhead Commissioner steamer, Wirrall, accompanied the match. The Woodside Ferry, from opposite to which the yachts were to start, presented a lively scene, a numerous company being assembled on the promenade, which was gaily decorated with bunting. The sea wall, near which the yachts were moored, was densely crowded with spec- tators. The arrangements on board of the steamer were excel- lent, and the catering of Mr Anderson, of the Merchants' New Dining Room3, gave great satisfaction. The band of Mr W. Phillips, as usual, gave a good selection of favourite airs. The wind was barely suffioient to cause an exciting race, being rather against the hard weather boats. The following came to the starting post :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. BUILDER. 1. ELEIN, C. B. * 3J Alfred Whitworth Kelley 2. GLIDE, F. K. t 7i Thomas Wilkinson .... Owner 3. CHARM, C.

Owner The start took place at 1: 56, p. m., the Snake taking the lead, followed by the Charm, Glide, Mayflower, and Elfin; little diffe- rence took place in the run up to Eastham of about four and a half miles, the Eastham flag boat being rounded as follows :— H, M. S. I H. S£. S. | H. M. S. CHARM 2 86 13 GLIDE 2 37 81 ELFIN 2 38 37 SNAKE 2 36 39 | MAYFLOWER 2 S8 341 Beating was now the order of the day, and it soon became evident that the " little one" had no chance as she did not seem to hold a wind. On reaching the Cheshire shore it became evident that either the centre board yacht had the advantage in being the best sailer, or that she took the best course, for by taking short tacks in shore she passed the Dingle flag- boat, just having gained 2min 4sec. The Snake went half way across the river, tacked, and was second round. The Mayflower and Glide stood across, right into the Cheshire shore, in fact, so far, that they had to bear away to round the Dingle flag- boat, which was passed as follows: H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. CHARM 3 32 17 GLIDH 3 88 12 ELFIN 3 45 2 SNAKE 3 85 47 I MAYFLOWER . .3 49 6 | From this time it became evident that, barring accidents, the Charm must win, the Eastham flag- boat being rounded : CHARM 3 58' S SNAKE 3* 39* 45 GLIDE 4 1 35 | As the steamer had to follow and time the small yachts, the time at the Dingle boat could not be obtained; but we found on our return to them that the Charm was stillj leading, and the gun proclaimed her the winner by 3min 20sec, the Woodside flag- boat being rounded as follows: H.

The cups were duly presented, and the usual loyal toasts duly honoured. For the second class match three came to the post, viz: 1. Gadfly, J. Watkins, Bishop, builder; 2. Hornet, W. C. Wron- shall, builder, owner; 3. Wasp, J. S. Bishop, builder, owner. The Hornet and Wasp are new, the Hornet having been built on the Dee, and having come round two days after she was launched, therefore being comparatively untried: START, 1: 56. EASTHAM. DINGLE.

The boat races of this club took place on Thursday, June 25, with the following results :— Scullers Race for a silver goblet. Mr Furner, 1; Mr Fvffe, 0 ; Mr Royle, 0. Won easily by Mr Furner.— Outrigged Pair- oared Gig Race for silver oars and rudder: Messrs Liddon and Walters, Easton ( cox), red, 1 Messrs Castle and Read, Workman ( cox), 2. This race was closely contested. Red just after starting got ahead about a boat's length, which they were unable to increase. The course was from Putney Bridge to the Crab Tree. The day was wound up with a scratch four- oared race. ROYAL IRISH YACHT CLUB. The regatta of this club came off in Dublin Bay, on Tuesday and Wednesday last, the 30th June and 1st July. Between 60 and 70 yachts, belonging to the various royal clubs, and the majority decorated with their gayest bunting, presented the usual brilliant appearance which Kingstown Harbour always does during a regatta, whilst the thousands of spectators which thronged the piers and club- houses gave great animation to the gay scene. We shall present our readers with some detailed remarks on the sailing of the vessels engaged in the different matches in our next, but our limited space this week prevents us giving more than the results of each race. We regret very much to say that our gallant old friend, the Foam, met with a sad accident in being run down by one of the Chester and Holy- head steamers, and has received bad injuries; fortunately no lives were last. The Imp also met with a disaster the day pre- viously, shortly after her arrival from Cork. The Cyclone was getting under weigh, and from the extremely crowded state of the anchorage, witl- i much difficulty she gathered way, but not paying off quick enough Jo clear the little Imp, ran into her amidships; the damage, however, is not so serious as that sus- tained by the Foam. The first race on Tuesday was for a piece of plate, presented by the Royal St George's Yacht Club, of the value of £ 60, open to all yachts belonging to members of royal yacht clubs, a time race, allowance for difference of tonnage, from 10 to 60 tons 30sec per ton, from 60 tons upwards 15sec. For this race were entered :— NAME. TONS. OWNER. 1. OLTHONA 80 J. M. Rowan, Esq 2. EXTRAVAGANZA 48 ..,.-., Sir Percy Shelly, Bart 3. STELLA 41 C. T. Couper, Esq 4. MOSQUITO 50 Thos. Groves, jun, Esq 5. CYCLONE 41 W. Patterson, jun, Esq 6. FLIRT 16 Capt H. H. O'Bryen These vessels are so well known to our readers, with the exception of the Oithona, that any remarks on them would be superfluous. The Oithona was built by Wm. Fife, j un, of Pairlie, the builder of the Cymba, Aquiila, Stella, & c, & o. She is a splendid vessel of 80. tons, an out- and- out sea- boat, and we have little doubt when her new crew come to know her better that she will achieve as many triumphs for her owner as ever the Cymba did. She carried away her main halyard block, jib halyard blocks, and bowsprit shroud whiskers in her passage down, and therefore had to start in an unprepared state against a lot of clippers well tried in gear and canvas, and also with the fearful odds against her of being obliged to stive ten minutes to such a vessel as the world- famed Mosquito, and proportionate increased allowance to such clippers as the Extravaganza and Cyclone. We must, however, defer our detailed remarks on these vessels until next week. It blew a fresh gale at E and by N, with a very heavy S9a oa, and single reefed mainsails with housed topmasts were the order of the day. The start took place at 12h 5min. The Oithona took the lead at once, was never caught at any time during the race, and the vessels arrived at the flag- ship as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. OITHONA 4 43 3 MOSQUITO .... 4 58 48 EXTRAVAGAN- | I ZA 5 12 20 The Cyclone and Flirt bore up, as also did the Stella, from damages to gear in the heavy sea. The next race was for a purse of £ 40, presented by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company, for yachts of 30 tons and under; a time race; time allowance as previously stated. The following vessels were entered:— NAME. TONS. OWNER. NAME. TONS. OWNER. ATALANTA, .27.. H. Scovell, Esq MABELLA .. 27.. J. Graham, Esq BANBA .... 20.. W. J. Doherty. Esq VIGILANT .. 32.. J. C. Atkins, Esq FOAM 25.. M. Lingfield, Esq CRUSADES... 30.. J. Spiers, Esq The Atalanta took the lead, with the Mabella, Crusader, Vigilant, Foam, and Bauba in close attendance. The Foam, however, much to the regret of her numerous admirers, came to grief with the steamer previously alluded to. After a well- sailed match the vessels arrived in the following order and times :— H. M. S. | H. M. S. I H. M. S. VIGILANT .... 3 39 0 ATALANTA .... 3 53 0 BANBA 3 59 0 CRUSADER 3 41 30 I MABELLA 3 56 0 | The Mosquito fleet then commenced operations for a purse of £ 10, presented by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company; twelve vessels were entered, but the severity of the weather prevented a number of them starting. The following three ves- sels came in in their order and times :— NAME. TONS. OWNER. H. M. S. 1. DOVE. 12 Charles Putland, Esq 4 22 0 2. BIJOU .... 10 R. D. Kane. Eaq 4 £ 7 10 8. SMILE .... 11 R. H.

E., and a nasty jump of a sea set into the Bay. The first race was for a prize of £ 100, presented by the Royal Irish Yacht Club, same regulations as on the previous day. The following vessels started, and came in as placed :— NAME. TONS. OWNER. E. M, S. 1. MOSQUITO 50— T. Groves, Esq, jun 4 21 12 2. OITHONA 80 J. M. Rowan 4 23 O 3. EXTRAVAGANZA .... 18....

Spiers, Esq 4 35 21 The Mosqaito was beautifully sailed and handled, as also were the other vessels. The Extravaganza went along in beautiful style, as also did the Cyclone. The Oithona got a very bad start, iu consequence of some merchant brigs that were lying in the harbour; and the Mosquito went away flying with the lead, which she held throughout. The second race was for a purse of £ 30, presented by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company, for vessels of 25 tons and under; a time race. The following were the vessels placed :— NAME. TONS.

There was as beautiful a finish as we ever witnessed between the Banba and Flirt for second place, which was gained by the latter vessel in beautiful style, as may be perceived by the timing. The third sailing match was for a purse of £ 10, for all yachts of 12 tons and under, for which were entered :— NAME. TONS. OWNER. 1 ELECTRIC 7I J. A. Clarke, Esq 53 N. A. Hamilton, Esq 8i J. W.

ROWING AMONG AMATEUR METROPOLITAN CLUBS, A spin is about to come off among the four following clubs, viz :— Thamesis Rowing Club ( dark blue), Westminster Aquatic Club ( light blue), Junior United Rowing Club ( red); West London Rowing Club ( white).

The second annual dinner of this excellent club was celebrated on Tuesday eveninS, at the Swan Tavern, Battersea, when upwards of forty gentlemen sat down, and spent a most harmo- nious and agreeable evening. The Commodore, Mr Keene, took the chair; Mr Roe, the hon secretary, occupying the vice, and from these two gentlemen the principal toasts of the evening emanated. The pressure of aquatic and other important sport- ing matter, must plead our apology for not going fully into the details of the evening, with which we are fully acquainted. The Queen, Prince Consort, and the rest of the royal family, army navy, Royal London, and other yacht clubs, Ranelagh Yacht Club, the Commodore, and Secretary, were amongst the principal toasts, all well handled, and such as required answers, ably res- ponded to. The dinner was exceedingly good, and reflected great credit upon the establishment. IEANDER CLUB. PAIR OABED RACE.— The members of this time- honoured club rowed their annual pair- oared race for the Colquhoun Silver Goblets, on Tuesday last, over the old metropolitan course, from Westminster to Putney. This is, perhaps, the favourite match of the club, pair oared rowing being most justly esteemed by them as the best school for the formation of good oarsmen, in- volving, as it necessarily must, all the great points of waterman ship. On the present occasion seven pairs had originally been entered, but only five came to the post, and we give their names in the order in which they arrived at Putney Bridge, the after oar being placed last in each pair. Among the names will be found some who have distinguished themselves in other matches: Bovill and Julius 1 I W. Davis and Goolden 4 Egan and Prior 2 Sim and J. Davis 5 N. Layton and Smith 3 | The wind was blowing tolerably fresh W. by S., and the labour was rowed forward in all the boats except by Mr Smith, who manfully took it aft, and proved that a long residence in tropical climates had in no way impaired his vigour. The start, which took place soon after six o'clock, was exceedingly pretty, and the race was very evenly maintained by all up to the Penitentiary, the first and second boats, which had the worst station on the Surrey shore, having, however, worked themselves across the river into something like a lead, which was now rendered secure by Mr Smith's boat coming slightly in contact with Messrs Gooldeu and Davis, who could not give way on account of a steam- boat at Millbank Pier. Before shooting Vauxhall Bridge, Mr Prior slightly headed Mr Julius ; but this did not last long, for the consummate watermanship of Mr Julius ( whose long and splendid career on the water is still fresh in the memories of all rowing men), seconded by the good rowing of Mr Bovill ( who took the labour forward), soon placed them ahead; and although somewhat pressed by Mr Prior even as far as Lintell's, the race was already in their hands. At the finish there were several lengths respectively between the five boats. The behaviour of the captains of the steam- boats was throughout beyond all praise, all of them easing and some actually stopping the paddles entirely. After the race the club dined together as usual at the Star and Garter, where, we regret to say, an acci- dent happened to Mr James Parish, the coxswain of the club, who had steered up the four, by which he unfortunately frac- tured a rib; he is going on well. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. In accordance with the generally expressed desire of the mem- bers at the last meeting, the dinner to be held to- morrow will take place at the Star and Garter, Richmond Hill, instead of the Freemasons Tavern. On this occasion the grant to the funds of the Royal Thames National Regatta will be discussed and the amount determined on. HAMMERSMITH SUBSCRIPTION REGATTA. A large number of persons assembled at Hammersmith on Monday to witness the annual regatta there among the fisher- men and landsmen, for money prizes, given by the gentry of tlie neighbourhood, the racing always being conducted by a gentle- man amateur in the neighbourhood. The regatta was in five heats, with the following results :— FIRST HEAT.— White, J. Goodrich, sen, 1; blue, G. Otter- way, 0 ; red, J. Gibson, 0, Distance, from the Red Lion down round a boat moored off the Queen, up round a boat moored off Chiswick Eyot and finish at the place of starting. Red went away with the lead and rounded first at the Queen, but, being too flurried, went overboard. White won easily. SECOND HEAT.— Black, J. Goodrich, jun, 1; purple, G. Baker, 0; orange, T. Hoare, 0. Distance as before. Orange took the lead, and would probably have won, but fouled a boat soon after starting ; black went ahead soon after this and had it all his own way. THIRD HEAT.— Pink, W. Pearce 1; yellow, W. Matthews, 0; green, T. Gibbs, 0. Distance, from the Red Lion up to a boat moored off Chiswick Eyot, down round a boat moored off the Queen, and finish at the place of startinsr. Green had the lead to Chiswick Eyot, where pink passed him, green becoming last at the waterworks. Pink, after rowing a good race, won by three lengths. FOURTH HEAT.— Stripes, G. Wright, 1; red and white, E. Rust, 0; light blue, W. Brazier, 0. Distance as before. They were all together to the waterworks, where light blue fouled a barge, which put him out of the race. A good race was main- tained between stripes and red and white down to the Red Lion, when the former won easily. GRAND HEAT.— Stripes, 1; black, 2; white, 3; pink, 4. Dis- tance as before. Stripes took the lead, which he maintained throughout the race, closely pressed all the way by black. Good race between third and fourth. Other minor races and amusements followed. On starting the Eton boat got into the weeds, when the Oxford took the lead, and maintained it throughout, winning by a boat's length. It was a capital race, but the Oxford men were too powerful for their youthful opponents. The distance was rowed in 8min 16sec. LOWER EIGHTS.— On Friday, June 26th, was rowed Lower Eights, i. e., two eights chosen by the two captains of lower boats, viz, Hardy and Severne. Hhe crews were as under:— Hardy's Crew: 1. Smyth, 2. Le Strange, 3. Walpole, 4. Ward, 5. Turner, 6. Kekewich, 7. Lubbock ma, 8. Hardy, Lubbock mi ( cox). Severne's Crew: 1. Wynne, 2. Leny, 3, Rowley, 4. Denison, 5. Morse, 6. Kinglake, 7. Somerville, 8. Severne, St Quentin ( cox). At starting Sever ue, who had the Eton side, and rowed in the Dreadnought, took the lead, but was passed be- tween the Hopes by Hardy in the Thetis, the latter eventually winning easily by half a dozen boat's lengths. THE PULLING SWEEPSTAKES.— The first heat of the Pulling Sweepstakes came off on Wednesday, July 1st, when the fol- lowing seven pairs came to the starting post, aad were arranged iu the following order:— 1st Row: Waipole and Caaogan, Wcod mi ( cox), 1. Windsor; Fuller and Palmer, Duncombe mi ( cox), Middle Stream; Halsey and Van cte Weyer, Hopwood ( cox), 1, Eton. 2d Row: Baring and Craven, Thesiger ( cox), 1. Wind- sor ; Piuckaey and Hussey, Clayton ( cox), 2. Windsor; Lawless and Atkinson, Smith ( cox), 2 Eton ; Hankey and Lubbock ( ma), Lubbock mi ( cox), 1. Eton. All the boats kept well together up to Upper Hope, Lawless and Atkinson taking the lead closely followed by Hankey and Lubbock. The following order was maintained up to the rushes:— 1. Lawless, 2. Hankey, 3. Pinckney, 4. HaSsey, 5. Puller, 6. Walpole, 7. Baring. After some good racing between Puller and Walpole for the filth place, Walpoleeventually succeeded in obtaining it by passing Puller at Goodman's raft. Baring and Craven were unable to beat Walpole and Cado- gan, though they tried hard, and were tit times at very close quarters with them. The course was as usual round the rushes and was done by Lawless arul Atkinson in 22aaiu 12sec, about three lengths between the first and second. The following four will start in the last heat:— Lawless and Atkinson, Han key and Lubbock, Pinckney and Hussey, Halsey and Van da Weyer. PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK. On Thursday a meeting of the Royal National Life Boat In- stitution was held at its house, John- street, Adolphi; Thomas Chapman, Esq, F. R. S., V. P., in the chair. Mr Lewis read the minutes of the previous evening. The following gallant case of rescuing life on the Irish coast had been brought under the notice of the institution. It appeared that while a fishing- boat was engaged trawling in Kenmare Bay, a heavy squall struck her, and threw her on her beam ends. She filled and went down almost immediately. Her crew consisted of four men, three of whom, either entangled by the riggine or struck by some spars, though able to swim, never appeared on the surface. The fourth, who was a very powerful man and a remarkable swimmer, suc- ceeded in getting rid of his clothes, and boldly struck out to- wards the land, which was distant about three- fourths of a mile. The accident was perceived from the shore by a number of persons. Two men volunteered to make an effort to save any survivors ; and, in spite of the opposition of their wives and fa- milies, who clang to them, they ran their boat into the waters ; she was laden at the time with a cargo of manure, which was of much value to these poor men. This they readily threw into the sea, and pulled steadily towards the place where the vessel had disappeared. The sea was tremendously higl), but they per- severed until they reached the spot where the survivor was still struggling, having been half an hour in the water. They rescued him'and succeeded with great difliculty, their boat shipping several heavy seas, in regaining the shore. The two other men had unfortunately sunk to rise no more. The institution voted tlie brave fellows £ 3 each, iu acknowledgment of their noble services. A reward of £ 2 was also granted to four men in con- sideration of their prompt and laudable conduct in putting off and rescuing two persons who had been capsized from their boat near Kilrush, © » the 27th ult. The thanks of the institution were voted " to Mr George Stark, assistant harbour master at Leith, and six other men, for putting off in a steam tug and rescuing four out of six persons who were capsized from a boat oa the Black Rocks, Leith, on the night of May 30th. One man was found dead under the boat, and a second man had made a noble attempt to swim ashore, but, from exhaustion and want of assist- ance, perished in the attempt.— Major Stokes, R. E., one of the members of the European Commission of the Danube, had re- quested, through Capt Washington, R. N., the institution to build for the commissioners a life- boat to be placed at the mouth of the Danube. A life- boat on Mr Peake's plan was accordingly ordered CANINE FANCY. A gentleman will attend the canine show this evening, the 5th inst, at Jemmy Shaw's, Old Queen's Head, Crown- court, Wind* mill- street, Haymarket, with three pure bulldogs, which he will show against anything else, also a black tan spaniel. Shaw will also show his famous stud of ratters, & c. Messrs Atherton, Pyles, M. Lea, Perks, and Oliver will also attend with their studs. The Treatise on Rats, with the rules of the Canine Club, can be had of Jemmy Shaw only, sent for 12 postage stamps- also the much- approved of dog soap, for curing all diseases, & cl in Is packages. On Tuesday and Wednesday there will be a strong muster of the Fancy. The great rat match comes off next Tuesday evening, at half- past nine o'clock precisely. A show of fancy spaniels, toy terriers, greyhounds, Isle of Skyes, aud bulldogs will take place this evening ( July 5), at T. Friswell's, Nottingham Arms, Ossulston- street7 Somers Town, chair to be taken by Mr Bladon, faced by Mr Brassnell. A gen- tleman has promised to show the handsomest red and white spaniel stock dog living. T. Friswell has matched his novice to destroy rats against a gentleman's crack bitch, for £ 3 a side, to morrow ( Monday) evening. Ratting sports every Monday and Saturday evening, the use of the pic gratis. A good supply of barn rats always on hand. To THE CANINE FANCT AND THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.— The show and general monthly lead comes off this evening, July 5th, at Jemmy Shaw's favourite resort, which promises to surpass anything of the kind this season. On this occasion nearly every fancier in or near London have promised to attend with their studs of small toy terriers, small bulldogs, and toy dogs of every description, previous to their annual distribution of prizes. Ratting sports next Tuesday evening. Club nights as usual every Wednesday. Entrance free. Jemmy Shaw is surprised at the Preston folks, after their challenge being accepted, not coming forward to destroy 100 or 200 rats with their dog Cider, for £ 25. Jemmy will for the last time back his old dog to destroy any number of rats, for £ 5 and upwards; to come off within two months, and the Editor of Bell's Life to be stakeholder. If articles and a deposit be sent, Jemmy will sign aud cover. Open to all England, but the Pres « ton dog preferred. A rat match will take place at Mr to be built.— A communication was read from the Shipwrecked Arms, Graham- street, Macclesaeld- street North, City- road to- Fishermen and Mariners Society, relative to the foundation of amorrow ( Monday), when Mr B.' s little bitch Dutch, 1341b weight hospital for worn- out merchant seamen, _ towards tne establish- ; is to destroy 50 large barn rats in seven minutes, for £ 5. Several V- ment of which that excellent society is about to contribute0ther matcnes will take place. £ 5,000.— By the lamented death of Miss Anna Gurney, the insti tutioh had lost a valuable coadjutor, and a liberal subscriber to its funds. She had for a very long period taken a deep interest in the preservation of life from shipwreck. At her house at Northrepps, Norfolk, she had a mortar life- preserving apparatus always ready for instantaneous service either night or day, to the use of which she tock care to train one of her men servants. She was also an inventor of a hand- mortar apparatus for throw- ing a line from a life- boat to a wrecked ship. It was said that Mrs Peterson, of Bromley, had left the institution a legacy of £ 100.— The proceedings then closed. LAUNCH.— A handsome model © f a 25- ton cutter yacht was launched from the building yard of Mr Brain, of Fishbourne, on the river Wootton, Isle of Wight, on the 25th ult, in the pre- sence of the secretary and several members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. She had been constructed for Thomas Hayes, Esq, of Cork and of the Royal Irish Yacht Club. Miss Brain, daugh- ter of the builder, performed the baptismal ceremony of wishing " success to the Dream," aad at 2: 30 the yacht glided into her destined elemont. Mr Brain is about to lay down the keel of a sister vessel to the Dream, and in the same yard ha3 hauled up the little schooner Pirate, belonging to Mr Cunningham, the in- ventor of the patent reefing gear, aud is about to lengthen her in midships. This little craft our yachting friends may have frequently noticed boxing about 111 the Solent, reefing her top- sail, showing the easy mode in which the same is effected from the deck, and entirely superseding the necessity of sending a man aloft for the purpose. TTNE AMATEUR ROWING CLUB.— The first of a series of four- oared races, in foy boats, came off at the boat house of this flourishing club on Monday last, when the following crews con- tended :— No. 1: Messrs Leathart, C.

CHILDS AND POCOCK:.— When this match was originally made we were asked to be stakeholders, but refused ( on account of the numerous disputes which have of late attended below- bridge matches) unless some respectable person were named in the articles as referee.

CITY, TEMPLE, AND STRAND REGATTA.— A regatta amongst the watermen of the above locality took place on Monday last, in three heats, and attracted a great many spectators. Ten competitors rowed in these heats. First heat: Richard Tisdell and Isaac Sculthorpe 1, James Dupere and Andrew; Mitchel 2, John Sculthorpe and Robert Ridgway 0; won by three or four lengths. Second heat: Alfred Hunt and Salter Martin 1, Richard Martin and Joseph Waight 2, the third pair as before; won easily. Final heat: Hunt and Martin 1, Tisdell and Sculthorpe 2. It was at the outset a very capital and even race, and it was some time before the winners got the lead. HARRY CLASPER.— The veteran Harry Clasper has once more sounded the note of preparation for a struggle at the Thames National, and has laid down a new four and pair- oared for the occasion. The pair- oared is only 14 inches wide, and 36 feet long; the four- oared 42 feet long with 20inches beam. All health to him on the day and to his partners, for without his appearance a four- oared race for the champion £ 100 becomes a tame and insipid affair, and it is no small credit to him by his honourable career, no less than by bis prowess, to have achieved for himself and his townsmen the aquatic fame that has made Newcastle known all over the world. MEBSEY ROWING CLUB.— The regatta of this club has been fixed to take place on Monday, August 10th, and as the prizes will include a cup of the value of £ 40 for gentlemen amateurs and valuable money prizes for watermen, the committee are not without hope that metropolitan amateurs and watermen may be induced to try their skill, even at that distance from home. The Chester gentlemen have shown a good example in this respect, and their success at Henley last year encourages it to be fol- lowed. Further particulars of prizes next week. R.

This tourney took place, on Tuesday, and although, from the unwelcome interference of the police, the contest was not brought to a very satisfactory conclusion, yet, from what subsequently transpired, there can be no doubt that the referee, awarding, as he did, the stakes to Harris, acted not only with proper spirit but also with strict impartiality. Such proceedings as those which occurred at the contest of the preceding week with Brookes and Dan Morris can only tend to injure the character of the P. R.; therefore, when men cannot, or rather will not, win or lose iu an honourable manner, we are glad to see that course taken which at once teaches the " knowing ones" they cannot at all times treat with impunity the rules of the P. R, The weight at which the combatants had to fight was 9st 121b, and on Monday they wont through the ceremony of weigh- ing, at Mr Bunyan's, the Hand- in- Hand, London- road, when they were found to be well within the mark, neither being more than 9st 71b. This meeting was numerously attended, and on the result there was much betting, Harris being the favourite. This is only the second time Dooney has figured within the ropes, his first essay being with Mck Hannigan, by whom he was cleverly defeated, on the 30th of January, 1855, at Long Reach. He is a well- made, muscular young tr. an, with broad and expansive chest. Joe Baldock made his debut on the 4th of April, 1854, with Owen Lee ( the Gipsy Lad) whom he fought until darkness compelled the referee to order a suspension of hostilities. He next encountered Ginger Joe, whom he van- quished after a battle of sixty- one rounds and one hour and forty- five minutes' duration. Next in rotation we have Joe's contest with Donovan, whom he also had the good fortune to defeat. Baldock's next appearance was with Bos Tyler, to whom he was compelled to cry, " Hold ! enough," after a contest of 150 rounds and three hours and five minutes' duration, in 1856. In make he is powerfully built, and the great reliance placed in his physical powers, combined with his well- known gameness, had the effect of making his partisans extremely confident as to the result. He was backed from Harry Orme's, the Jane Shore, Shoreditch, while Harris was backed from the Surrey side of the water, his prin- cipal patron being Mr Bunyau. It was arranged that the eon- test should come off down the river; and as no special conveyance was provided, all had to reach the chosen locale in the best manner they could. The combatants were on the ground by twelve o'clock, and by a quarter to one they had taken up their respective positions in the ring, and were in readiness to commence hostilities. Baldock had for his seconds Jemmy " Welsh and Patsey Daley, while Dan Collins and a man named Hardman, who knew nothing of his business, waited upon Harris. The combatants were in splendid condition, and, just before being conducted to the scratch, Baldock went over to his opponent's corner, aud offered to make a bet with him, and sported the flimsies for that purpose. Dooney, however, declined the invitation. THE FIGHT, Bound 1. Immediately the seconds had retired the men went to work in a sudden and determined manner. Baldock had no sooner got to his man, than he hit out left and right, getting home in these exchanges in good style. The left mawley de- livered a stinger on the side of Dooney's nut, while the right followed suit on the brain canister. Harris returned with some well- administered shots, and then, as his antagonist tried to close, went down at the ropes near Joe's corner. ' 2, Battling exchanges, Harris planting on the body with the right, while Baldock planted a stinger on the side of the dfal. As Harris shifted, he was followed with impetuosity by Joe, when Dooney in the countering delivered the left full on the mouth, and then, as Baldock wanted to close, went to grass. First blood was claimed for Harris, and admitted, from Joe's mouth. 3. The instant time was called, Joo spruug from Jemmy's knees and went to work, and iu leading was short with the left, and so he tried to force the fighting. Dooney displayed a proper use of his understandings by getting cleverly away. Baldock again went to his adversary, and in the exchanges Harris ad- ministered on the ueb with effect, while Joe just missed a rattler with the right. As Harris got to the ropes, Joe succecdedin giving a nice one with the left, and then in stepping back fell, partly from a slip, and partly from the force of his own blow. During the round we noticed Baldock hit open- handed, and this well accounts for the harmlessness of the punishment received by Dooney. 4. Baldock rushed in and delivered the left on the body. Harris countered in good style on the phiz. As Baldock bored in for the close, Dooney sprung back on the ropes, and, to avoid the struggle went down. 5. Baldock, looking flushed about the nob, was the first at the scratch, but had not long to wait for the appearance of his ad- versary. On assuming the defensive, Joe dashed out the left, and delivered well on the body, following this up with a round hit from the right. Harris, in the exchanges, planted the left in telling style on the side of Joe's nut, and in getting away, slipped and fell on his terminus. 6. Sharp fighting, and no mistake, each lad standing to it with the most plucky determination. After some fine counters, Harris retreated, and iu doing so nearly lost his equilibrium. Joe, evidently intent on mischief, counter- checked the moves o? his opponent with much rapidity, until they got to the ropes, in his own corner, when Harris, in the exchanges, delivered a fine left- hander full in the middle of Baldock's dial, when the latter went to grass. Joe, however, notwithstanding this stinger, was on his pins again in an instant, and wanted to renew the battle, but Jemmy " Welsh wisely would not allow him to do so. 7. Harris tried to administer the left, but was not within dis tance. A pause— then in the counter- hitting both got home with effect, Dooney, however, doing the most execution. In a close the lads fibbed away, until Harris went down, Joe falling on him. 8. This was a well- fought and manly round. Baldock waited in the centre of the ring, but no sooner had Harris come to the scratch, than at it they went in a give and take style. Hit for hit in rapid succession, until Harris went down in the middle ? the ring [ loud cheers greeted Joe to his corner] "> 9. After some sharp exchanges they had a rally to the ropes, when Harris got cleverly away from his opponent, and we » t down. 10. Baldock led with the left, but was not in distance, and as he rushed in impetuously Harris retreated. A slight pause, and on again getting to work Joe missed a fine hit with the left, catching Dooney round the neck, who immediately went down. 11. After a little manoeuvring they got well together, when some clipping exchanges followed, decidedly in favour of Harris, who delivered the left more than once well on the uob. As Bal- dock came bustling in for the close, Harris broke away and went to mother earth. 12. In the counters the men both got well home, Dooney re- ceiving a sweetener on the ribs, while Joe napped it on the head. This, after a break away, was followed by some spirited ex- changes, when Harris, as a finish, went down. 13. Joe led off the left, and then dashed in at his man, who retreated with much agility. Near the ropes some pretty exchanges were administered with the left, Joe however doing no particular execution, in consequence of hitting open- handed. Baldock, in trying for the close, got his antagonist in rather an awkward position, from which Dooney succeeded in extricating himself, and went down. 14. Baldock planted the left on the nob, and Harris in returning this compliment missed a fine hit with the same mawley. As Dooney broke ground Joe followed aud delivered his left between his opponent's guard, when Harris fell, Baldock on him. 15. Joe, in leading, hit out wildly with the left, when Harris sprung away from him and walked nearly round the ring, being followed by Baldock, who displayed more determined resolution than judgment. At the ropes there were some heavy exchanges with both mawleys to a close, when Harris ran his man back, causing Joe to fall, and fell on him. 16. In the exchanges Joe planted the right on the left listener, when Harris immediately got out of distance. After a little sparring they again went to work, and in a rally they got to the ropes, Harris, who had his back to them, being near the stakes, when Baldock, in delivering the right, hit his hand against the stake, though fortunately not doing himself any mischief, and Harris fell. 17. Baldock came dashing at his opponent, when Harris retreated; Joe followed, and in the exchanges nailed a tremen- dous hit from the right on the left eye, and immediately the ruby flowed from an ugly looking cut. He instantly closed, and had all the worst of the fall. 18. Joe was slow to time, Harris waiting for him at the scratch, and, when he did, it was apparent he was in a state of " botheration." Now was the time for Harris— who had all but got his man licked— to have given the coup de grace. It re- quired but a well- delivered hit or two to do it; but, strange to say, instead of forcing the fighting with all his energy, he kept sparring, and allowed Baldock to terminate an harmless round by going down. 19. Baldock kept away, and Harris, from some unaccountable cause, did not go in when it was policy to have made his man fight. Counters all in favour of Harris, Joe down. 20. Baldock slightly recovered, fought well with his antagonist. Harris, in the rally, got to the ropes, and after hitting his man heavily got down in clever style. 21. Dooney delivered the left flush on the mouth, and in the counter- hitting again administered heavily on the left eye. As Harris broke ground Joe, who was bleeding profusely, followed, and iu the exchanges Harris again planted on the body, and to avoid the close finished a busy round by going down. 22. Baldock wanting time, and Jemmy Welsh, in attending to his man, displaying all the requisites of a finished second. Har- ris, in the cross- counters, again home on Joe's damaged lamp. Baldock's returns were too wildly delivered to be effective, and as Joe followed his man up, Harris slipped and went down. 23. After some sharp exchanges, which were unquestionably all in favour of Harris, the men closed, and in the struggle both went to grass together. 24. Dooney home left and right, the hitting all in his favour, and to avoid the rush he went down. 25. Just as the men were about to renew hostilities, and . when but a short period must have decided the contest in fa- vour of Harris, there was the unpleasant and startling cry of " Police" round the ring. The report proved unfortunately true, and the men had to be at once taken from the arena, and there still being plenty of time, as the combatants in their rattling mill had not been at it more than forty- five minutes, the referee ordered them to renew the battie again the same day. For the renewal of hostilities the opposite shore was selected, which was reached by the company with all possible despatch, and soon were the lists in readiness for the appearance of the men. Harris lost no time in taking up his position, but it soon became apparent that the backers of Baldock, as well as his seconds, had no wish to be in a hurry to enter the arena. They knew per- r well that their man had not the remotest chance of win- V^ and they were determined to resort to every manoeuvre save their stakes. Time was asked and granted by the referee for their appearance in the ring, and at length ' they were seen dragging themselves along with a halting step. When Baldock did enter the ring he was only at- tended by Jemmy Welsh, whose deliberate movements were sufficient to tell any thinking man the game intended, and that there was something up to save the money. When the time allowed Baldock to get ready had expired, the backers of Harris claimed the stakes, after having given Bal- dock and his seconds all they required, or, at least, more cor- rectly, all they asked for in the shape of " time," promptly awarded the stakes to the person entitled. Had the referee not acted as he did, there can be little doubt the police would have once more made their appearance, as we were informed by reliable authority that a party had been despatched for the purpose of putting them on the right scent. Such proceedings are in themselves disgusting, and can only have one effect on the P. R.— that of bringing it into disrepute. We know not who actually was guilty of this paltry pro- ceeding, and, what is more, it is difficult to find out. Baldock fought throughout, as will be seen by our account, in the most plucky and resolute manner, and when his friends found he had no chance left, it would have been more straight- forward on reaching the second ring at once to decline the con- test. Harris left the second ring with hardly a mark about him in the shape of punishment, this being, as we have before re- marked, in consequence of his opponent hitting so repeatedly open- handed. Baldock, on the other hand, was much punished about the left side of the head, and certainly in our opinion was by no means in a fit condition to renew the contest, and that more particularly as he had not the remotest chance of winning. Joe from first to last displayed nothing like a scientific point, and in the wild manner in which he fought he certainly greatly surprised his friends. All being ^ concluded, a start was quickly made on the homeward journey, the metropolis in due time being safely reached. Harry Orrae has declared to us that he will return the money he holds as bets to those who staked it, and will not obey the ! London- road, on Monday ( to- morrow) night. SECOND MEETING BETWEEN JEM BROOKES AND DAN MORRIS. It will be remembered that in our account of the contest be- tween these men, we stated that Nat Langham, who officiated ft^ e/ dlstrict as referee, ordered the combatants to meet on Saturday week, ; WARMAGER AND BOOTH'S NOVICE.— Kid Warmager and down. Brown or his party will meet Wilkinson at H. Bullock's, j New Inn, Stoke, Staffordshire Potteries, to- morrow ( Monday) night, at eight o'clock. PARKINSON AND M'NULTY.— The final deposit of £ 3 a side, for this affair, was to be made at Mr Williams's, Leopard Inn, Spon- lane, last night ( Saturday), when the toss for choice of place was to take place. The men fight on Tuesday, in the the 27th ult, at Lower Hope, for the purpose of renewing the contest. By the rules of the Ring, they were bound to comply with the decision of this functionary. They therefore appeared at the rendezvous appointed long before two o'clock, the time named for the belligerents to be in the ring, but it was eviaent from the first that Morris and his friends had no intention of fighting On the morning of the meeting, Dan Morris, his brother and one or two others, went to Strood, where, as if courting the observation of the police, they were seen walking about. Prom Strood, by way of Higham, they made their way to the Hope, making no attempt at concealment. Brookes's party came from Tilbury in smail boats and at about 20 minutes to two o'clock were seen coming along'the seawall. No sooner had they reached the ground, than Mr Short, on the part of Brookes, wanted at once to get to work " Very well," said the friends of Morris, with a know- ing look " Where are the ropes and stakes ? Have you not brought them?" Short looked unutterable things; he felt he was done. Brookes was ready to fight without them, and would have willingly done so, but such rash and uuconstitu- tional proceedings would by no means suit the backers of Morris. It was unquestionably an oversight on the part of Mr Short m not seeing Oliver the day before, and personally making him acquainted with the fact that his presence with the materials would be needed on the following day, so as to have pre- vented the possibility of this mistake, as under such circum- stances the commissary would have been bound to attend, and as Morris and his friends were not anxious to fight, it was not likely they would take the least trouble. On makiug inquiry of Mr Short why he did not look more after the interest of his man, his answer was, Oliver knew that the men had been ordered to renew the contest on the day named, and it was his duty, as the commissary, to have taken the proper steps to have the mate- rials on the spot. There is no rule of the Ring on this subject, but it certainly has been Oliver's regular custom to call upon the stakeholder previous to all events, to learn particulars. On the present occasion, however, poor Old Tom was laid up with the gout, and his son Pred, we presume, was not sufficiently ac- quainted with the routine business to be pursued on such occa- sions. It is somewhat singular, however, that m addition to the showing of Morris at Strood, aud the absence of ropes ana stakes there should be another fact in connection with the affair which bears a suspicious aspect. A telegraphic message was sent from Graveseud by some, no doubt, disinterested person ( r) to the superintendent of the district, giving him information as to the intended (?) fight, and that official, as a matter of duty, made his appearauce ou the ground at three o'clock, or shortly before to stay proceedings. There was plenty of daylight, but no ropes and stakes, and the Morris party were therefore in ecstacies of delight at having bested the Bast- enders. The Brookes division were anxious for a mill, and proposed crossing to the opposite shore and constructing a temporary ring, but this of course, was not agreeable to the other side, and there was'nought for it but a return to town. The friends of Brookes have undertaken to prove that the police were telegraphed for by some of the friends of Morris, and on that ground have claimed the stakes at our hands ; and it does seem to us, if they establish the fact, that there i3 justice in their demand. Here we have Morris going right into the lion's den, and then walk- ing openly about with his friends, and carrying the usual para- phernalia of a boxer out on business, under the eyes of the police. No secret is made of his intentions, and then some kind friend— to make assurance doubly sure- takes additional pains to procure the intervention of the pouce. We have set a commissioner to work to ferret out everything he can discover in the matter, in the hope that something may transpire to justify us in putting a stopper on what, if we are to believe what we hear, is evidently an attempted get out, and should he be successful, we shall undoubtedly award the stakes to Brookes. We cannot, and will not believe that the scheme has been concocted by Dan Dismore or Alec Keene. We have invariably found tliem straightforward in their movements, and when beaten, they have always been resigned to their fate; but let who may be blameable, should anything occur to implicate any one directly interested in the match, we shall do our duty. Since writing the above, the gentleman we sent to Strood to make inquiries, has returned to Town and given us the result of his investigation. He has ascertained beyond a doubt that Dan Morris, his brother, and a taller man, we believe his trainer, were at Strood on Saturday morning, walking about the plat- form and the town, and that some short time before they started for the appointed place of fighting, Dan Morris's brother, who is a man of somewhat remarkable appearance, was seen to go to the telegraph ofiice and send off a telegraphic despatch, and that despatch, there can be no doubt, was the despatch sent to Gravesend to put the police ou the scent. The despatch to the police we have ascertained was sigued Mandamus, and the per- son forwarding it represented himself as belonging to some Hu- mane Society, and answered the description of Morris's brother. This evidence, coupled with the other suspicious circumstances of the case, leave uo moral doubt iu our mind that Brookes is entitled to the stakes, and unless Morris's brother can prove be- yond the possibility of a doubt, that the message he sent was utterly unconnected with the fight, we have no alternative but to award the stakes to Brookes, and to him we shall pay them over on Wednesday morning, unless in the meantime we have clear and positive evidence, which appears to us almost impos- sible, to justify us in a different course. It is high time such proceedings should be put a stop to. FIGHT BETWEEN JOE WHITE OF MANCHESTER ( ALIAS BLACK JOE) AND JACK BATH OF LEICESTER, FOR £ 25 A SIDE. Early on Tuesday morning the Liverpool Pancy took shipping for the Point of Ayr, to witness this encounter. O wing to the very heavy rain considerable delay took place iu making a ring, and it was one o'clock before the men toed the scratch. White had been trained under the watchful eye of Jemmy M'Grath's Punch, and was in excellent condition. Bath had been reduced to nothing but bone and muscle to bring himself within the prescribed weixlit. In some instances 6 to 4 were laid on White, and bets were freely taken to a large amount at evens. The dark one was attended by Tim Brannon and Joe Douglas, and Bath was waited ou by Sergeant Beaumont and the ex- champion pedestrian Searles. THE FIGHT. Round 1. Both commenced cautiously. After considerable play Bath got home on the nasal organ of his opponent, drawing first blood; but scarcely had this advantage been gained when Black Joe cried quits on his antagonist by a similar blow on the j same organ. They closed, and, after some fibbing, went down, I White under. 2. Bath seemed eager to go in, but was well stopped in several attempts to get home on his opponent's know- ledge- box. He succeeded eventually in giving first knock down, after receiving from White's left a blow on the right eye. I 3. White's left eye bleeding freely, and Bath's right showing un- : mistakeable signs of the recent visit from his opponent's h it. j A good deal of sparring took place, when they closed, and Bath succeeded in throwing his antagonist. 4. Bath again eager to go in, but was we'll stopped in several attempts, j White feinted with his right, and gave his opponent one, | two, three on the nose, which was returned by a blow from Bath's right on the ribs of the dark one, which sent him to the ground. 5. White looked much fatigued from the effects of the previous round, and Bath's right eye seemed to be fast closing. White acted ou the defensive, but Bath seemed deter- mined to follow up bis advantage, but was well stopped in several attempts to get home on the frontispiece of his opponent. White attempted to visit a fain the right peeper of Bath, but was well stopped, and immediately received a remembrancer on the ribs from Bath's right, which sent him down on the ropes. 6. After two or three slight exchanges the men closed, when White succeeded in cross- buttocking his opponent. 7. After a little sparring White got home two or three times on the chest and ribs of his opponent, who returned with a round- hander on the ribs, aud White went down. 8. Bath went in eagerly but slipped, and a blow from the dark one's left sent him sprawling to the ground. 9. White had the worst of it in this round. Bath, acting on the defensive, they closed, and after some hard hitting on both sides, Bath cleared himself from White, who again attempted to cross- buttock his opponent, aud a blow from Bath's left on the ribs of White, sent him to mother earth. 10. White visited Bath's potato trap with one, two, three. They closed and fell together.— 11. Some hard and sharp hitting on both sides!; Bath gave his opponent a smart hit on the chest with his left and White went down. 12. Bath west in eagerly and suc- ceeded. in reaching his opponent's smeller, they closed, and. White again cross- buttocked his adversary. 13. White's left eye still bleeding profusely, and Bath's right eye completely closed. Bath tried to reach his opponent's phiz, but was beautifully stopped, they closed, and White succeeded in drawing the ruby from Bath's left eye and got down. Prom this time White gradually, but surely, got" the best of the fighting. It was throughout a merry bustling affair, and each man showed great determination, and at length, in the 30th round, White succeeded in finishing the battle by a heavy right hander on the ribs, which sent Bath to grass. He was nearly blind and extremely weak, and his friends wisely gave iu for him. The fight lasted forty- two minutes. The money shall be sent to White, at Mr Ralph Bailey's, Peel's Arms, Mason- street, Off Swan- street, Manchester.— A second mill took place in the same ring between Arthur Murphy and James Hackett, for £ 10 a side. Only five rounds were got through, and Hackett then struck Murphy a foul blow. An appeal was made to the referee, who decided iu favour of Murphy, for which he was brutally assaulted by one John Savage, of Liverpool, This was the only untoward part of the day's business, which, ex- cepting the rain, passed off quietly enough. BEN CAUNT AND TOM SAYERS.— We received the following letter from Caunt on Monday :—" Mr Editor: Aware, as you and your readers must be, of the imperative necessity that exists for my keeping in constant and regular training, in order to keep my present engagement, I trust I shall be excused from attending at your office on Thursday next, according to the Eroposal in Bell's Life last week. Let Tom Sayers come to my ouse and draw up articles, or let him send me articles that 1 can consistently sign, When I was in the Ring before, this was the usual course, and it did good for sporting publicans; I do not see any necessity for au alteration. If the match goes on, furthermore, I shall have all deposits bond fide staked at the houses named in the articles. In pursuing this course, I not only go by olden precedent, but by the obvious rule of integ rity.— Yours obediently, BENJAMIN CAUNT."— June 29th, 1857. It will bo remembered that Sayers covered Caunt's £ 10, and named the meeting at our office, as convenient to both parties. In accordance with his promise he attended on Thursday, but not finding Caunt, appeared much disappointed. He told us he was going out ef town immediately, asad therefore could not go to Caunt's house, and wished us to draw up articles for him. Would it not be better that each should draw out a copy of articles, and that the two copies should be, if possible, amalga- mated into one. All we have to say as to the meeting at public houses is, that the Champion's Belt wa" S not constructed as a draw to such establishments, but as a bona fide trophy, to be contended for by the best men in England, with a view to up- hold the manly art of self- defence as distinguished from the rise of the knife, and other unmanly instruments. As to the de- Eosits being made at the houses, of course Sayers can plea- ; imself as to agreeing to a special clause to that effect, but it strikes us as very hard for a man to loss all the money staked, because instead of taking a particular deposit to a particular public- liouse, he, prior to that deposit, leaves it with the stake holder to ensure it being in the right hands. pedestkiakism.

The Editor of Bell's Life has held £ 5 of Mace's for three Veeks past, aud there never has been occasion to make special appointments to draw up articles. Mace attended on Thursday night at Jack Booth's to meet Grant, but Grant never appeared. As it puts Mace to consider- able expense to come so often to London, he now leaves his challenge iu the solid form of £ 5, which all who aspire to lick him must cover, or hereafter let them hide their heads as pre- tenders. Mace's mouey is at Bell's Life office, and articles will be readily agreed to.

JACK HANNAN'S BENEFIT.— Our readers, we trust, will not forget Jchuuy Hannan's benefit on Monday ( to- morrow) at Jemmy Shaw's, Queen's Head, Crown- court, Windmill- street, Haymarket. Jack, as is well known, is failing in health, low in pocket, and consequently without the wherewithal to obtain the comforts necessary in his present condition. He has done many a brother pug a good turn, aud we hope that all members of the Association in town will endeavour to render the like assistance to one in distress. There can be little doubt Jack will have a bumper, and therefore it is fitting that the pugilistic fraternity should do their utmost to please the patrons of the art.

ALE WALKER AND SMITH.— In this match Smith and his friends persisted in their claim of forfeit, and this although Walker offered £ 5 to allow the match to go on. On Tuesday " WRESTLING— MATLEY AND LORD— Last Monday after- noon upwards of 3,000 spectators assembled upon the ground of Mr N. Warren, of the Snipe Inn, near Ashton- under- Lyne, to witness an intesestiug wrestling match between Jas. Matley ( alias Barrel) of Ashton and Peter Lord of Oldham, for £ 50 a side — Mr Jas. Holden being stakeholder, two back falls out of three, Lancashire fashion, catch as catch can, neither man to exceed list weight. Lord is ten months the senior of Matley, and both are in their 37th year. On Monday Lord weighed 7 score 121b, and Matley 6 score 18lb. Mr Geo. Piers of Manchester was roferee, and the umpires were— J. Simpson and W. Skilhorn for Matley, and W. Swann ( the Lancashire wrestling champion) and J. Hilton for Lord. The time fixed for the men to be in the ring was one o'clock; punctuality was well observed, and the betting even. The preliminaries having been duly arranged, the men proceeded to business, heavy rain falling whilst the match was pending. Matley very nearly threw Lord twice, but the referee, on being appealed to, decided that Lord had not been clearly thrown in either case. They again went to work, but, after struggling for two hours and 50 minutes, neither proving suc- cessful, and the watery element still descendingin full force, and rendering the ground very slippery, the match was withdrawn for the day. Tuesday: There was again a large attendance of the admirers of this athletic sport, but the rain continued to fall more heavily than on yesterday ; yet, despite this untoward circumstance, at five minutes past one Matley and Lord resumed hostilities, the betting being 3 to 1 on Matley. L6rd went to work in gallant style, and succeeded in lifting the favourite a considerable height, thus causing many persons who were pre- It would be espe- sent to imagine that Lord would prove the victor; Matley, how- ever, soon changed the aspect of affairs ( the wrestling being ex- cellent), and ki three- quarters of an hour Matley threw Lord. The latter then wished to know what Matley would give him not again to contend, and Matley replied that if Lord did so, he " would give him another throw." Lord declined this kind offer, Walker, finding he could get no redress, served us with a legal; and, not coming up to time ( 15 minutes), the referee declared notice not to part with the money, and declared that he would Matley the winner, amid the most enthusiastic cheering. Mr bring an action if we handed the stakes to Smith. He added Piers deserves praise for his just decisions. With regard to this that he thought it very hard Smith should receive the forfeit, as contest we are aware that some persons who had wagers on the the money was brought to us the following morning, and appa- event maintain that, because it was not concluded on the Mon- rently could not see the difference between its being in our pos- j day, all bets are off; such, however, is not the case, and they session before and after the time named in the articles. Strictly we felt bound, however, to abide by the letter of the agreement, and on receiving a regular indemnity against consequences we handed the amount to Mr Pace ( Smith's backer). Walker has since called on us to say that he will forego all law proceedings, aud make Smith a present of his £ 15 if he will agree to fight him on the day originally named. He has left £ 5 with us to make the match. Would it not be well for Smith to agree to this proposition, and so avoid forfeiting the good opinion of all sporting men ? CAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM.— Another deposit of £ 10 a side, being the ninth, was made at Nat Laagham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, Leicester- square, on Wednesday last. The tenth of £ 10 a side'must be made at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane, on Wednesday next, when Ben himself will be present, we expect for the last time previous to going into severe training, and will be proud to welcome his friends. BROOKS AND BLYTH.— Mace of Norwich has backed Blyth against Brookes, the latter to stake £ 50 to £ 44) and give £ 5 for the match to come off in London Brookes is to be 8st 81b, and Blyth catch weight, £ 1 a side is down, and Blyth is to send must stand good, as the articles for the match stated, that, " if the wrestle is aot finished on the first day, the men are to com- mence on the following day, at the same time and place; and so ou, day by day, until ended by a fair wrestle," It is, therefore, clear that all bets must go with the stakes. BESCOMBE AND BICKELX.— This match was commenced on Monday last, at Mr Rooke's, Jolly Caulkers, Deptford, and at the close of the play at eight o'clock there had been but one fall, in favour of Bickell, after an extraordinary exhibition of fine wrestling. It appears that there is a desire on the part of Bes- combe's friends to draw the stakes, in consequence of the falls not having been determined in one day, and citing the authority of the articles, which state that play shall cease at eight o'clock; this, however, the referee, Mr Steer, of the Ship Tavern, Ivy- lane, very properly objected to, and has named Monday ( to- morrow) for the match to be played out, when the men must meet at the same place, ready to resume at three o'clock. DANCING.— Tom Collins of Richmond, hearing some one wishes to dance him, if he will call at John Tilbury's, Water- lane, a match can be made. DOINGS AT HYDE PARK, SHEFFIELD, AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. MONDAY, JUNE 29.— There could not be less than 2,500 spectators present here to- day to witness Mr C. Thorpe's handi- cap race, the mile race for £ 50 between W. Dane of Barnsley and Wm. Tuck of Mexborough, and the shooting match for £ 10 between Strutt and Hague. The proceedings commenced with the shooting match, for £ 5 a side, between , BENJAMIN STRUTT of Barnsley and SAMUEL HAGUE of Dod- worth, at 7 birds each, 21 yards rise, oz of shot, and 60 yards fall. They eventually tied, killing 7 sach. The ground was then cleared for TUCK AND DANE.— This was a race of one mile, for £ 25 a side, between William Tuck, formerly of Holkham, near Nor wich, but now of Mexborough, near Rotherham, and William Dane ( alias Marney) of Barnsley. A good deal of betting took place at 22 to 20 and 25 to 20 on Tuck, who gave his opponent 12 yards at the coming- in end. On the signal being given, away they went, the non- favourite keeping the lead until within about 500 yards from home, when Tuck shot in front, was never again approached, aud ran in an easy winner by 90 yards. Dane gave up at the above distance from the finish, Tuck being then some 60 yards ahead. The ; winner was trained by Alfred Milner of Sheffield, at the Red Lion Inn, Mexborough, to whom great praise is due for the excellent condition in which he brought his man to the mark. The course was then cleared for MR CHARLES THORPE'S HANDICAP.— This exciting event was a handicap race of a quarter of a mile for the following prizes, given by Mr Charles Thorpe, the landlord of the Royal George Inn, Carver- street, Sheffield:—£ 12 for the first man, £ 2 for the second, £ 1 for the third, and 5s for every man win- ning a heat and not getting a prize. The extraordinary number of 310 pedestrians entered, 112 of whom accepted their handi- caps. The men were divided into eleven lots, the first taking place at two o'clock, and the others every succeeding half- hour. Lot 1.

Eight ran ; Best won a good race by a couple of yards.— Lot 11. George Rogers 66 yards start, 1. Nine ran; Rogers won this heat in consequence of George Coltoa of Baseford having the misfortune to stumble at the skeleton tent, a hundred yards from the finish, and after running some thirty yards further, and not being able to get on his legs again, he fell heavily to the ground, hurt- ing himself very much. TUESDAY.— The weather to- day was most unpropitious for out- door amusement during the whole of the afternoon. The sports commenced with the usual 10s- Sweepstakes, for which only three shooters put in an appearanoe, and they tied, killing 3 birds each out of 4." THE DECIDING HEAT FOR MR THORPE'S HANDICAP.— The weather having somewhat cleared up, the 11 successful competi tors of the previous day came on the ground to run off for the prizes. The winners came in as follows:— Allen Bake 58 yards start, 1; Samuel Taylor 60, 2; Arthur Garlitt 60, 3. Betting: 5 to 2 agst Bake, 6 to 2 agst Moseley, 7 to 1 agst Garfitt, 12 to ] agst Rogers, 15 to 1 agst any others. The men got well off to> gether. Bake, who is scarcely 5 feet in height, gradually stole to the front, and at about 160 yards from home was close up with the leading men, and when within 80 yards from the finish went in front, and won by four yards; Taylor beating Garfifct for the second place by a yard.

The affair was so snugly kept that none but those of a higher grade and true lovers of the sport were let into the secret of the whereabouts. The match excited a great deal of interest, Chawner not having run a match for the last eight years. Both men had carefully trained for the event, and came to scratch in fine condition. They were pretty equal iu height, but Chawner the heavier by some pounds. The betting com- menced at evens, Phillips for choice, and a good deal of money was laid out.

DOINGS AT THE SALFORD B05L0UGH GARDENS. SATURDAY, JUNE 27.— There was but a small attendance of spectators, and the following events came off:— WILLCOCK AND SHAW.— W. Willcock of Manchester and W. Shaw of Stanningley, Yorkshire, came upon the course to run 200 yards, for £ 15 a side, Mr£ Jas. Holden being stakeholder and referee. The betting at the commencement was 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 on Willcock, but it soon changed to 2 to 1 on Shaw. The prescribed fifteen minutes having elapsed, they went by report of a pistol, Willcock getting the best of the start, but the least said the better about the race. Shaw soon passed him, and ran in first by five yards. BATES AND GRIFFITHS.— RUNNING AND WRESTLING.— J. Bates of Sowerby Bridge and J. Griffiths of Soyland ( both in Yorkshire), next entered the course to run 440 yards, for £ 10 a side ; a Mr Jackson of the village of Triangle, in the county of York, being stakeholder and referee. Griffiths won the toss, and insisted upon having the bands and irons ( which had been specially put down) removed. The betting was 2 to 1 on Bates. They went off by report of a pistol, Griffiths getting two yards start, which he maintained for 240 yards; here Bates got up to him, and Griffiths then pushed him with considerable force against the railing; Griffiths by so doing got four paces ahead, but Bates again overtook him, and retaliated by striking Griffiths on his " listening machinery." They still kept on pretty evenly until within 50 yards of home, where Griffiths ( taking advantage of a part of the ground which is not railed), pushed Bates off the course. Bates reoovered himself, and when arrived very near the goal ( close up with his opponent), Bates snatched the tape out of the referee's hand. A scene arose upon this which we will not attempt to depict, and much anxiety prevailed to koow how the referee, who came purposely to act, would decide. After asking advice as to what he should do, and not obtaining instructions, he stated that Griffiths had come iu first, and several Manchester speculators paid wagers accordingly. Bates's party, however, served the referee ( who was also stakeholder) with a legal notice not to part with the stakes. Bates is willing to run Griffiths, we un- derstand, for £ 25 a side, same distance, at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Manchester, provided Mr Holden be stakeholder A GREAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP will take place at the Salford Borough Gardens, on Saturday, Augustlst, and Monday, August 3d; distance, 120 yards.

THURSDAY, JUNE 25.— This, the twenty- third contest between these Universities, was played at Lord's, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday week. As we before stated, ten matches each had been won, and two drawn. This event, consequently, gives the odd one, as far as this year, to Oxford. The betting was greatly in favour of Oxford, who had very strong batting, with good bowling besides, in which Cambridge was sadly deficient. Oxford won the toss, and were disposed of for a less number than was expected. Cambridge on that day headed their opponents, and on Friday were found to be 13 in a majority. Oxford again com- menced, and gave the Cantabs a field day, scoring 261, of which Mr Infelix made a splendid 59, for which he was loudly applauded. Mr Bullock, also of Rugbv, made an excellent innings of 39. Mr Digby, so well known as the captain of the Harrow Eleven and for his doings there, made a fine innings of 38. The Hon. W. Fiennes has much improved as a bat, getting his score of 22 in a cricket- like style. Cambridge had the task, when Oxford were disposed of, to get 248 runs; they went to work in right good fettle, and accomplished 167 by a fine display of cricket, of which Mr Wingfield scored 54, making some brilliant hits. Mr Dupuis, the renowned player of the Eton Eleven, brought out his bat for 35, obtained against the excellent bowling of Fiennes, Gillett, andMarsham; Mr Makinsonalso made an admirable innings of 30. We regret not being able to give further details of this very excellent display of cricket. Score: OXFORD. lst inn 2d inn A.

UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v SIXTEEN OF OXFORD UNIVERSITY. This annual match was commenced at Lord's on Monday, June 29. Much excitement prevailed, iu consequence of the strength of the University, and the well- known ability of the players on the United side. The match was made by Mr J. H. Dark, and the Eleven were under the captaincy of F. P. Miller, Esq, their president. Two better wickets were never selected at Lord's than on this occasion, and it was thought that a great many runs would have been the result. The United won the toss, and sent in Dean and Grundy, who, before they were parted, caused 30 to be hoisted on the telegraph. Messrs Marsham and Gillett started the bowling, but the Hon W. Fiennes had to come on to part the batsmen. Dean made a three and a two, and the rest singles. Mr Haygarth joined Grundy, and commenced with a drive from Fiennes for three, following it up the next over for a four, when, some few overs afterwards, Mr Marsham found out his guarded timber; two wickets for 48 runs. Caffyn made a fine leg hit for five, and was well caught at square leg by the Hon W. Fiennes; three wicketsfor 64 runs. Lillywhite was caught by the long stop; four wickets for 68 runs. Wisden was got rid of by a " breaker," and Lockyer was caught by the " third man;" six wickets down for 90 runs, during which period Grundy's play was re- markably steady— perhaps too cautious; he let off all the leg balls. Mr Nicholson made two threes— one a capital drive from Gillett, and his, the eighth wicket, fell for 102 runs. Griffiths joined Grundy, and " cracked" her about for 19; he made an excellent drive from the Hon W. Fiennes for five, also a cut from Marsham for four; his, the ninth wicket, fell for 137 runs. Martingell, the last man, then followed, and we believe laid a small wager that he would bring his bat out, and thus prevent Grundy from performing the extraordinary event of going in first, and having the " not out" attached to his name after seeing the ten out, which, with sixteen in the field, would be considered, indeed, an extraordinary feat. Martingell tried hard to win, but the Hon Cecil Fiennes took up the ball, and with his underhand fast bowling scattered the Surrey bowler's stumps, thus allowing Grundy to accomplish the above- named feat, with 51 attached to his name, and for which he was called to the pavilion and presented with a new bat. Grundy's figures were three fours ( two cuts from Marsham and a " fluke"), a three, five twos, and singles. Martingell made a drive from Fiennes for four and singles, and the innings closed at twenty minutes past six o'clock for 152— an excellent one, considering the extra field and the bowlers. It was generally thought the Oxonians would have rubbed them off, but the bowling was much too good. Wisden began with fourteen maidens in succession; he scarcely bowled a ball off the wicket. Caffyn was equally on the spot, as he has been all this season. On Tuesday, owing to this and the splendid fielding of the United, 70 runs only were hoisted as the total; which of course caused them to follow their innings. Mr Hodgkinson made " double," but he was too much " forward." Mr Lane played a splendid innings— making a drive from Wisden for five, as well as a cut and drive for fours from him. Very little time was wasted ere they commenced their second innings ; but we may previously add that the cause of Mr Infelix's absence was, that he had hurt his heel, so as to prevent him from putting it to the ground; this was a great loss to Oxford, as he both bowls and bats— which the Oxford and Cambridge match will testify. It was thought that such a formidable team of bats could not be got rid of twice for such a small number ; but Griffiths and Wisden went to work; the former, however, ought to have been punished, for he was half way in the play, and then over the crease, and this bowling got three wickets. Mr Digby certainly vras stuck up in a corner by Wisden and not allowed to get away; he was at the wicket 32 minutes for 0 ! Mr Lane again played a magnificent innings, which cor- roborates our remarks on the team brought against Cambridge, for indeed they must be a most formidable eleven to be enabled to leave out one of the best gentlemen players of the day. This innings of 28 was remarked by all judges present to be one among the finest played on this ground. The bowling was never sur- passed, and with a style unequalledhe got— and played for them— 28 runs, and was caught by ths bowler in making a fine drive. He made five fours— two in succession off Wisden ( drive and a square leg hit to the house, which was stopped, or would have told tales among- the glass of the bar), also two fours in succes sion from Griffiths ( on and off drives); he also made a drive from Caffyn— all being some of the best hits ever seen ; his remaining figures were three twos and two singles. The gentlemen of England cannot be their strength without Mr C. G. Lane. Ihe Hon C. Fiennes brought out his bat for a well- played 9, made by a splendid cut from Wisden for three, & e. At this period ot the game the rain came down pretty fast, and Wisdeu slipped and bowled a ball at " point" instead of the " wicket, and three wides were consequently run. Mr Infeiix was too bad to play, and he was therefore, again absent. The match terminated at five o'clock in favour of the United Eleven in one innings and 18 runs. Score: UXITED J. Dean, c Waud, b W.

COUNTIES OF SURREY AND SUSSEX. JUNE 25.— Box's Royal Brunswick Ground was the spot on which these two elevens met on Thursday week. A county match always excites a great amount of interest, but probably owing to the enormous strength of Surrey, aud the somewhat weak team of Sussex, the interest in this match may now be slightly abated. Those who know the merits of the men would at once come to the conclusion that Sussex could stand but little chance against such a formidable array of talent as that brought into the field by Surrey, unless Fortune should very much lean towards the more southern county. The weather was beautiful, very hot, but still pleasant, owing to the ground being so close to the sea. The ground was got into splendid order, and much credit is due to Box for his attention to this im- portant department, which all proprietors of grounds would do well to imitate. At twelve o'clock the arrangements having been made, aud the toss won by Mr Miller, the captain of the Surrey team, himself and Mortlock first appeared at the wickets, to the bowling of Wisden and Challen. Sewell and Hammnod ( the once County player) were umpires. The latter stood instead of Barker, who, by some misunderstanding, or miscarriage of letter, did not attend for his old favourite county. Challen bowled wretchedly wide— bowling five out of reach, in four overs, when he was taken off, and Stubberfield substituted. Wisden also was not well on the mark. Mortlock was got rid of for eight, being oaught in cover slip. Mr Miller was bowled by a shooter— breaking as well; his figures were a drive from Challen for four, two threes ( one a drive from Wisden for three), three twos, and singles. Caffyn was, fortunately for Sussex, got rid of at point, before he was settled down. Stephenson was caught cover- point, making a very fine innings of 34, composed of a five ( drive from Wisden), four fours, ( leg- hits), five twos, & c. Ciesar got busy, but Dean, who had been put 011 at Wisden's end, gave Julius a " stinger;" his figures were a five ( drive from Stubber- field), a four ( a cut from Stubberfield), two threes, three twos, & c. Mr Lane was caught mid on; making two fours ( two splendid leg- hits from Dean), a three, and two singles. Griffiths and Lockyer then got " a hold," and ran the score ( when the seventh wicket fell) to 175. Wells was substited for Dean, and bow ledjadmirably. This player has regained his strength, which last year was failing, and Sussex will find him of great assistance. Griffiths, the lett- handed young- un for Surrey, made a splendid off drive from Lillywhite for six, which in London would have received its merited applause, but at Brighton they do not seem to relish the fine play of an oppo- nent. Griffiths also made a four, two threes, and the remainder were singles. Moody placed an excellent innings of 14, and was caught by the long- stop; in . his score was a four, made by a drive from Wisden, also a three. Lockyer was now cleverly caught at the point by Wells off Wisden, who had changed ends; his fine hitting deserved more applause; his figures were two fours, six threes, six twos, & c. MartingeU made a long stand, as he has done several times this year, and in his 7 made an ex- cellent cut for three. The innings closed at half- past five o'clock, for 212. The bowling ( bar Wells) and fielding of Sussex were not up to the mark, while the batting of Surrey was fine and terrific. Sussex then commenced their innings, but they were doomed to misfortune, which, coupled with the extraordinary abilities dis- played by Surrey, caused the Eleven to be disposed of for 51 runs. Caffyn and Griffiths bowled throughout, and both ad- mirably ; the fielding could not be surpassed ; in fact, as a Brighton contemporary remarked, " You might have compared Surrey to the ' Regulars' against Sussex as the ' Militias.' " John Lillywhite was again caught by the long- stop, hitting round at a leg ball. Wisden drove the ball back to the bowler, and Dean was splendidly caught at point. Paine was run out by a splendid piece of fielding by Caesar at point and Lockyer at wicket. This innings closed the day's play. Betting 3 to 1 on Surrey. FRIDAY.— Dean and Wells commenced the play, the time being half- past twelve o'clock. Caffyn and Griffiths were again the bowlers. Three quarters of an hour elapsed ere the first wicket was obtained ; 21 runs. Dean was again caught splen- didly at point. Lillywhite joined Wells, and a masterly display of cricket was at this period exhibited. Several changes of bowlers were made; Stephenson was tried at Caffyn's end, and Mr Miller at Griffiths's. This had 110 effect, and Caffyn again took his end, and gave Wells one he could not master, his in- nings was acknowledged by all present to be a very first- rate one. When he left SI runs had been scored. His figures were two fours ( cut and a drive), three threes ( two drives and a cut), seven twos, & c. The two " Brighton" pets then got together, and it was once thought that they themselves would pull off the number of runs, and leave the remainder of the Sussex team to put some sort of an innings on for Surrey ; a " breaker," however, stopped Lilly's career; his finely made 36 comprised a five ( leg hit from Griffiths), two fours ( two cuts from Caffyn), a three, seven twos, and singles. Both upon going and retiring from the wicket Lillywhite was loudly applauded. 98 runs were now obtained. Mr Edwin Napper joined Wisden, and Lockyer ( who was substituted at the wicket by Stephenson) was brought on at Sherman's end. Sherman, although he did not get a wicket, bowled admirably. Lockyer disposed of Mr Napper by a home pitch ; he made a six ( drive from Martingell), three threes, and singles. Lockyer also got rid of Wisdeu, at which time the runs were just got off. Wisden's figures were two fours ( drives), two threes, two twos, & c. Now cause the " tail end" of Sussex, for the remaining five wickets scored but 14 runs! Could the county have fallen back, as formerly, upon such men as Bushby, Picknell, Box, & c, after the bowling had been thus regularly " collared"— for no one can deny that Surrey were really in a fix— they might have stood some chance of suc- cess. Surrey, however, were allowed, for the want of better bowling, to get too many runs. Nothing could excuse the bad management of starting Challen, who is all very well when a change is required. Jemmy Dean and Wisden cannot be bet- tered in the Sussex team at a start, and it is hoped that the management will not forget Wells, when a change is again re- quired in a match. Surrey was kept out in the field until a quar- ter past six o'clock, but they worked admirably together; 176 was the total announced, leaving Surrey 16 to get to win, for which number, however, it cost them a wicket, thus winning the match by nine wickets. We cannot but again remark, that Sussex, it is generally thought, would be better represented if those players were selected that are every day at play. For instance, very great improvement is perceptible in Carpenter and James Lillywhite since they were last played, and we feel sure they would now be an acquisition to their county if again tried. The abilities of the Surrey players need no remark from us, and were they to fall short of two or three, they could find others almost as good. Such is the strength of the County which, next week, will contend against the North of England, and should they prove victorious, no doubt, they next year will tackle England level- handed. The return match will be played at the Oval, July 16. Score : SURREY, F. Miller, Esq, b Stubbsrfield .. 17 Mortlock, c Challen, b Stubberfield 8 H. Stephenson, c Stubberfield, b Dean 34 W.

For many years this contest has been fought at Lord's— as it will be again this year— but the spirited managers of the Surrey Club, in order to gratify the numerous lovers of cricket arranged the present one for their ground ; circumstances, how- ever, have happened which ought not to occur when such an im- portant contest as this is 011 the tapis— we mean the fixture of the grand affair at Enville Hall. For many months Surrey has published their announcements, and engaged their players, and when only a short time before so great a match, another one is made, it must necessarily take away such men as Willsher, Tin- ley, Mr Payne, & c, which almost tends to do injury to the game. The Surrey committee wished, according to the best of their know- ledge, to bring together the real strength of Gentlemen as well as Players, so as to test their superiority; but in this they have been disappointed. Mr A. Payne was asked and much wanted for the Gentlemen, as were also Messrs Hammond and Makinson. Messrs A. H. Walker and C. Marsham were substituted for the latter two. Bell and Dean played iu the room of R. C. Tiniey and Willsher. The Gentlemen were put under the management of John Walker, Esq, who, being wicket- keeper, was judiciously selected. The ground was in excellent order, and although the morning was dull, a very large company assembled early to wit- ness the cemmencement. The Gentlemen were unfortunate enough to lose the toss, when the betting was 3 to 1 on the Players. Caesar aud Grundy first made their appearance, the bowlers being C. D. Marsham and Miller. Csesarhit 011, making a drive for three in his score of 10; Caffyn was caught by the wicket- keeper, hitting round at a leg- ball, and Lillywhite was bowled by the slows ( put on at Miller's end), having run to out hit; he made a good leg- hit from Miller for three, three wickets down for 63 runs, Parr made a three ( leg- hit from Marsham) and eleven singles, when he got his deserts by taking the liberty of hitting one to the leg that was straight. Grundy was during these innings playing in a masterly manner, and it was not until he had again topped 50 ( twice this week) that Mr Marsham found out his leg stump. Grundy's figures were five fours, two threes, eight twos, & e; he was missed iu the long field when he had scored 38. The cricket already displayed ( five wickets and 108 runs) was magnificent. Mr Marsham bowled admirably, and Mr V. E. Walker also was continually on the spot with the slows. Stephenson's " catch out" appeared doubt- ful to a great many, who thought it was a " bum- ball;" ha cer- tainly hit the ground very hard with his bat, and Sewell, the umpire, gave his decision that the ball never touched the ground, so that Surrey had to walk; he played a somewhat steady innings, scoring a two and ten singles; his, the sixth wicket, fell for 110 ruus, and the seventh, that of Anderson, for 121. The latter's occurred after dinner, when Wisden got in, and gave the gentlemen some leather hunting, until the last man, Dean, joined him. The two secretaries ran the score up to 184, when the younger was beautifully caught at point by F. Walker; his figures were composed of two fours ( drive and a leg- hit), four threes, five twos, & c. Dean brought out his bat, making drives for a three and a two. The innings finished at 25 minutes past 5 o'clock. The field was placed as follows : F. Walker, point; J, Walker, at wicket; V*. E. mid- on ; Drake and Laue long leg and cover point ( and saved many runs, Mr Drake especially); Burbridge, mid- off; A. H. Walker, short leg and third man ; Haygarth, long stop ; C. Marsham, cover slip. The fielding throughout was perfect. The gentlemen began by sending in Drake and F. Walker ; the second over of Wisden's removed the former's leg stump, and Mr Haygarth was shortly afterwards thrown out, attempting a run with John Lillywhite at cover- point. Two wickets for 4 runs; the third, Mr F. Walker's, for 9; the fourth, Mr A. H. Walker, for 21; and the fifth, Mr C. Marsbam, for 27 ; the sixth, Mr Burbridge ( who remained while three wickets fell) for 32; the seventh, Mr Charles D. Marsham's, for 39; the eighth, Mr Miller's, for 43; and the ninth, Mr Lane's for 50 and down goes the lot for 63!! So straight was the bowling of Wisden and Caffyn, that nothing could be done with it. Mr Burbidge, however, played in his usual masterly and steady manner; he obtained a four by an overthrow, an excellent cut from Caffyn for three, a leg- hit and cut for twos, & c. Mr John Walker " lambed ' un," about and got hold of two drives for threes, aud a leg- hit and a drive for twos. Both Messrs Y. E. and A. H. made two capital drives from Caffyn for fours. The innings closed at half- past seven o'clock, and the gentlemen retired to rest with the thoughts of again being obliged to follow their innings. The performance of the players throughout in the field, was really splendid. Bell and Andersou took long leg aud mid- wicket ( and few better could be found), John Lillywhite cover- point, Dean long- stop, Parr point, Csesar cover- slip. The day throughout was dullish, but not at all un- pleasant, and upwards of 3,000 made their appearance on the ground. FEIDAY.— The gentlemen commenced this morning at twelve o'clock, by sending in Messrs John Walker and Miller, who made a good stand, Wisden and Caffyn again started. Twelve overs having been delivered, Mr John could not stop a " bailer," and thus one wicket fell for 20 runs. Wisden ripped Mr Haygarth's leg stump out, and thus fell two wickets for 25 runs. Mr Lane then joined Mr Miller, and a very fine display of cricket ensued. Mr Miller was evidently " quite at home," playing the best balls with perfect ease, but Mr Lane's career was stopped by only half- hitting an overpitched ball from Wisden, and thereby was nailed at cover point; his figures were a four ( drive from Wisden), two threes ( square leg hit and a cut from each bowler); 3 wickets for 47. Mr Burbidge then followed, and a long stand was made. The two bowlers, who had had it all their own way as yet, were now changed— Stephenson at Wisden's end, and shortly after, Bell at Caffyn's. Runs were still the order of the day, until animportantoccurancehappened which deprived Mr Miller of his wicket. Mr Burbidge played a ball mid- off, called, and got down the wicket half way, when he stopped. Both in confusion, Mr Miller made a dash by him to make the run, but Anderson threw and hit the wicket. Everyone seemed to think it a pity that so excellent an innings should be fiuished in so unfortunate a manner; he, however, had to retire, and we have no doubt but that the Players were pleased to see his back. He made some remarkably fine hits ; his figures were six fours ( five drives— three from Wisden, one from Caftyn and Stephenson— and a cut), three threes ( drives), four twos, and singles; he was loudly applauded when leaving his wicke; his ( the fourth wicket) fell for 78 runs, No one now made a stand with Mr Burbidge, until Mr Drake, whose stoppage, how- ever, was not long, but sufficient to score 20, by a five ( drive from Stephenson), two threes ( drives), three twos, & c. When the last man had to come to get one run in order to rub the runs off, the time had arrived for dinner, which having been discussed, Mr C. Marsham joined Mr Burbidge; This excellent player was left to the last, owing to a severe blow which he received from Wisden in the first innings ; he made a leg- hit from Stephenson for four, and thus put three on; having made another single, he drove the ball back to the bowler— evi- dently afraid of his hurt finger ; and thus the innings closed, Mr Burbidge again playing a most masterly innings of 22 ( not out), composed of two cuts from Bell and Stephenson for fives, two leg- hits for twos, & c. This left the Players only 5 runs to get to win, which was accomplished by Deau with a four ( touch to the leg) and a three ( a splendid drive from Marsham). The Players were then declared the victors by ten wickets. But not- withstanding the defeat which the Gentlemen have suffered, they intend to make it an annual match, and we hope on a future occasion that nothing will occur to prevent them getting the whole of the talent which this country possesses, otherwise, it is thought, it will be Money v Money, instead of honour aud cricket. The umpires were Sewell and Brockwell. Score: PLAYERS. J. Wisden, c F. Walker, b Miller 46 T. Lockyer, b Y. E. Walker 0 F. Bell, c A. H. Walker, bMillerl" J. Dean, not out B 1, lbl 2 Total. 181 J.

This match was played on the ground of the Horsham ( Sussex) Club, on the 25t^ June, when, after a capital contest, Horsham was declared victorious by 11 runs on the first innings, time not allowing the match to be played out, the Londoners having to leave to catch the train. On the part of the Horsham,' Hoad contributed well to the score by some very hard hitting, whilst Aldridge added 18 by careful play ; Rapley and Ings ( the former a pro- mising bowler) bowling very effectively. On behalf of the Chalcots Messrs Bell, Robertson, and T. Holman batted extremely well, whilst Thorns played a masterly innings of 32 ( not out). Bell and Thorns bowled for the Chalcots, the latter securing seven wickets.

JUNE 25th, 26th, and 27th.— This annual match has not abated in the interest it caused when the Eleven first appeared, seven years ago. Tfee interest of the contests are equal, one being a drawn " match. Lust year the Eleven won easily; this year the Twenty- two have carried off the victory. On Thursday the Eleven went in first, but only scored 61 runs, the innings of Grundy and, Anderson being the only ones worthy of note; at the call of time fourteen of the Sieafordians were dispesed of for 29 runs. On Friday T. Tialey altered the state or affairs, scoring 32. M. Fawcett made a good 13. Hogg, one three, two twos, and three singles. Martin 13. The innings headed their opponents 20 runs. In the second innings of the Eleven the three first wickets fell for 2 runs— those of Grundy, Adams, and Mr Earle. Andersou aud Parr run the score up to 53 before they were parted. The former's innings of 38 was a brilliant one, by one five, six threes, four twos, and singles. Parr made also a worthy innings, including one of the finest off drives off Hinkly for five ever seen. Mr Sadler playedagood 10, aud Chattertonl5, including a leg- hit for six; the total amounted to 105, leaving 86 tomake to win, whichtheTwcnty- two accomplished on Saturday with the loss of twelve wickets, F. Tiniey and Sheppard with Mr Fawcett making nearly all the runs; thus, at about half- past three, victory was declared in favour of Sleaford by nine wickets. The weather each day was very hot indeed, and the company good, especially on Friday, when all the beauty and fashion of this district attended. The arrangement and accom- modation for visitors were faultless, Mr Bellamy and Sons keeping up their reputation as caterers ( for which they are noted). A very large company dined each day under the large marquee erected for that purpose. At the close of the match a subscrip- tion was entered into for defraying the expenses of the match next year, which amounted to nearly the required sum.

This match was played on the ground at Loughborough, on Mouday, the 29th of June, aud two following days. Play com- menced a little after twelve the first day, and at two o'clock the rain commenced aud continued nearly two hours, after which the game was continued until seven o'clock; fifteen wickets of the Twenty- two were down for 103 runs. Gray played well for his 10, as did Mr White for his. Attenborough from Ilkeston showed some neat cricket, and making a good leg- hit and cut. Dings was worthy of his 19. Mr Daft also contributed a pretty good 13. The wet grass made the ball difficult to handle. G. Parr took effect with his slows, and disposed of four wickets! On Tuesday a very large company was expected, but the morning looked threatening, which kept the people away. Soon after four the rain commenced, and put a stop to the game for the day. The game commenced by Jack- son and Hinkly again taking the bowling, and disposing of the six remaining wickets; the total amounted to 131 runs. The Eleven sent in Adams and Csesar to the bowling of Messrs Stone and Bishop ; 11 runs were made, when Adams was given leg before wicket for 8. Clarke and Caesar made the score 30, when the latter was bowled by a trimmer from Mr Stone. Parr was unfortunately run out for 5, which disappointed the lookers- on very much. Anderson made four singles, and was caught. Stephenson contributed 11, by nine singles aud a two. Mr Story made a good ieg- hit for four off Mr Daft, who was bowling slows, and was caught in long field. Mr Sadler joined Clarke, when the game was stopped by the rain; the total amounted to 70 runs with six wiskets down; Clarke, not out, 25. On Wednesday playing could not commence until nearly two o'clock. Clarke added eight runs to his score, and was caught in the extra slips. Jackson made a good 8, and Hinkly 7; the whole amounted to 104. The second innings of the Twenty- two amounted to 78, with two wickets to fall. J ackson aud Parr bowled; the former 40 overs for 9 runs, and as many wickets. The game was drawn. ALL ENGLAND. J. Storey, jun, Esq, c Gray, b Daft 4 J. H. Sudler, Esq, leg b w, b Stone 4 J.

Friday, the 19th ult, witnessed the arrival of a team of All Muggleton ( minus two who forgot their promises) at Gravesend; opponents, the Gentlemen of Kent, commanded by Capt Brenchley. The ground, thanks to Tom Adams, was in admi- rable order, but hard as a wall, which will in some measure account for the tale of byes. Despite the straightness of the bowling of Kent, " leather- huuting" was the order of the day. Though the match, owing to the long scores, and perhaps a too pretracted dallying, " Inter jocosi munera liberi," was not finished, it will be remembered as one of the most pleasant in the annals of All Muggleton, who hope they have not yet seen the last of that ultima thule, where a landlord turns host, nor Wates one bit the worse.

Two remarkable catches were made, the first of a very high hit of Mr Cayley's by Berry at the extremity of the ground, and the second a one- handed catch of a long leg- hit of Berry s by Mr Scott.

By the Overland Mail we have received disastrous news from Meerut. It seems the Native Artillery at Meerut having re- fused to receive the cartridges served out to them, the men who refused were paid up and dismissed on the spot. The 3d Light Cavalry were the next to refuse. They appear to have been told that they would be paraded on a certain day, and that if they again refused they would be punished. The day came. The men of the first troop one aud all refused to receive the car- tridges. They were accordingly arrested and placed in confine- ment. A day or two after this, on Sunday, the 10th, the re" S of the regiment broke out into open mutiny, killed some of their suropean officers, released their comrades, and marched out of the cantonment, taking the road to Delhi. Their example was followed by the two Native Infantry Regiments, stationed at Meerut, the 11th and 20th, aud by the Native Artillery. The Sepoys of the Ilth, though they joined the mutineers, are said to have protected their European officers; but many of the officers who were present with the other regiments, it is feared, have been murdered. Fifty men of the 3d Cavalry and about 150 of the 11th Native Infantry remained with their officers, and are still at Meerut. There was at Meerut at the time a European force, consisting of her Majesty's 60th Rifles, 1,000 strong, the 6th Dragoon Guards ( Carabineers), 600 strong, but not fully mouwted, a troop of Horse Artillery, and 500 artillery recruits, altogether not less than 2,200 men of all arms, with a full complement of officers. But, for some reason as yet unexplained, no attempt seems to have been made to arrest the mutineers or to stop their progress to Delhi. The mutineers are said to have arrived at Delhi on Monday, the 11th, and to have gone first to the cantonment, which is about two miles from the city. They then called upon the native regi- ments there, the 38th, the 54th, and 74th, and the native Artil- lery, to join them in resisting the design of the Government to convert them to Christianity. The call was immediately re- sponded to, the 38th setting the example and murdering their officers, and the rest promptly following it. Some of the Europeans escaped across the Jumna, and thirteen are reported to be now near Bagput, on the left bank, protected by the Zemindars; but the rest, it is deeply feared, including the ladies and children, have been brutally murdered. The mutineers then proceeded to the city, in which are situated the arsenal, the fort, the King's palace, and the civil station, and took un- resisted possession of the whole, murdering all the Europeans they could lay their hands on. Only the arsenal and maga- zine were saved from falling into their hands by the gal lantry of Lieut Willoughby of the Artillery, who blew them both up, and it is supposed fell a victim to his own act of gallant devotion. The mutineers presented themselves at the palace, and were received by the King, acting, no doubt, under severe compulsion, A letter from him to the Lieu- tenant- Governor of Agra was the first intimation the Go- vemment received of what had happened, for the mutiny at Meerut was the signal for all the rogues in the viciuity of that station, including the prisoners in the gaol, who were liberated by the mutineers, to take possession of the road and plunder all passengers, so that all communication between Meerut and Allygurh was entirely cut off for three or four days. Imme- diately on the receipt of this painful and alarming intelligeiace, the Lieutenant- Governor, Mr Colvin, took the most prompt and decisive measures to suppress the mutiny, and to prevent the panic and disaffection from spreading among the native troops cantoned at Agra and the neighbouring stations. Reinforce- ments were called for from Gwalior, and as soon as they arrive a powerful force will march upon Delhi. The Maharajah Sindia has assured the lieutenant- governor of his cordial support, and has made good his word by placing his own body guard at the disposal of the Government, aud cheerfully assenting to the movement of as large a force of the contingent as can be spared. Similar assurances have been received from the Rajah of Bhurtpore and other chiefs, and the Lieutenant- Governor speaks with great confidence of the temper of the people, and the absence of all sympathy with the crimi- nal insurgents at Delhi. Martial law has been declared in the Meerut and Delhi districts, and a proclamation has been issued assuring the people and the amy that the supposed design of conversion is a delusion, that the Government has not the least desire to interfere with any man's caste, and that every one will be left as heretofore to the free exercise of his religion. A com- missioner has been appointed to endeavour to open a communi- cation with the rebels, and induce them to surrender before the troops can reach them. From the north, General Anson, who was at Simlah when the mutiny broke out, has sent down her Majesty's 75th Regiment and the 1st Bengal Fusiliers to Um- balla. A force, consisting of her Majesty's 75th, her Majesty' 9th Lancers, and a troop of Horse Artillery, together with sonL- irregular troops sent by the Rajahs of Jheend and Putialia, are marching towards Delhi, and will probably be there by the 22d. But the movements of the Commander- in- Chief himself are not jet known, nor has anything transpired as to the course to be taken by the combined forces when they reach Delhi, or as to the officer by whom they will be commanded. The European troops at Meerut were reinforced by the Sappers and Miners from Roorkee, and by the Sermoor Battalion of Goorkas, 1,000 strong. The latter are believed to be quite staunch, and se, indeed, tvere the former; but immediately on their arrival at Meerut they broke out into open revolt, killed their commanding officer, and marched off with their arms towards Delhi. This time, however, the authorities were more on the alert. The mutineers were pur- sued by the Carabineers and Horse Artillery, and about 50 of them cut up ; but the rest of the regiment, with the exception of about 150 men who were on duty, and have since been dis- armed, made off, and have no doubt joined the insurgent gar- rison at Delhi, to whom they will be able to render material assistance. The following is a list of the killed at Meerut, so far as it is known :— 11th llegiment Native Infantry : Col Finuis and Mrs Chambers. 20th Regiment Native Infantry: Capt and Mrs M'Donald, Capt Taylor, Lieut Henderson, and Ensign Pattle. 3d Light Cavalry : Lieut M'Nabb, Veterinary Surgeons Phillips and Dawson, and Mrs Dawson and children. 6th Dragoons : 1 private ( name unknown). Sappers and Miners: Capt Fraser and Mr Tregear, inspector in the education department. Wounded at Meerut— 6th Dragoons : 2 troopers. Artillery Recruits, 12.
