SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION. RODERICK M'DONALD, Broughton- street, Edinburgh, wine and spirit merchant, THE MARKETS, CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.— FBIBAT. The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have been only mode- rate, yet the demand for all kinds has continued in a depressed state, at that day's decline in the quotatisns. In Foreign Wheat— the im- ports of which are by no means extensive— very little is passing, on for- mer terms. Fleating cargoes are held at full prices, but the inquiry for them is heavy. Both English and Foreign Barley oontinues in fair re- quest, on former terms. Malt is firm, but not dearer. The Oat trade is - steady. Beans and Peas support former terms. Flour further depressed .

HOP MARKET, BOEOUGH, FBIDAY.— The accounts which continue to arrive from the plantations are still of a conflicting nature, and the idea of the ultimate result has varied but little. There are no indications of the vermin having diminished in those districts that were first and most alarmingly infested. The growth of the bine, whether healthy or not, has been very rapid during the last ten days, and the opinion is that the picking will be unsually early. The duty has had an advancing ten- dency, and is now calculated at £ 130,000. Things are almost a stand still in the way of sales, which, when made, are in the favour of buyers. Mid and East Kent pockets £ 81Ssto £ 5 18a, Weald of Kent £ 3 8s to £ 4 2s, Sussex £ 8 3s £ 818s per ewt. WOOL MARKET, FEIDAX.— The market for English Wool has be- come much firmer, and more business has been done than for sometime past.

He was right in not going out, as the umpire at the bowler's end had first given him " in. fields- men should leave it to the wicket- keeper or bowler to make appeals — except in some cases.

The recent events in Italy furnish a pretext for the despotic Powers to make another attempt to crush civil liberty in England. The pretext will not avail them. Their impudent attempt will be defeated as before. The pretext they employ is as ridiculous as their own purpose is wicked. They say that plots are hatched in London, There is as yet no evidence of this. But assume it to be true, what could a dozen Mazzinis do by merely plotting in London ? What but waste their time and their scheming. To make their plots available they must be in the place where the plots are to take effect, for Mazzini is not such a plotter as the King of Prussia ; he cannot get men to rise in insurrection for him while his own carcase is well cared for, and guarded away from all danger. It is only a royal plotter, who can seditiouise aud murder entirely by deputy, and at a distance; the plebeian plotter must take part in his mischievous handywork. Mazzini has been to Genoa— he has passed through France— all the papers agree in saying that he was in Paris. Surely the Government is despotic enough in France to have had him seized there. Why was he not seized there ? Why was he not stopped on his way through France or through Lom- bardy, where the papers also say that he travelled. If the police system of England is blamed for not doing what it does not pretend to do, what is to be said of the exquisitely organised French and Austrian police for not doing what they perpetually boast of being able to do? The Pays insinu- ates that the arms were manufactured in London, and carried from Loudon. The Pays knows that it is insinuating an un- truth. But, again making an assumption, suppose the arms to be made in and carried from London, why were they not stopped on their arrival in the foreign couutry, the police of which is so " well informed" of everything, but always fails to know any- thing in time to prevent a mischief ? Arms for a large body of men cannot be carried in a waistcoat pocket, nor seut in an invisible balloon to dr ® p just where they are wanted. The pretext here is too flimsy, the falsehood too gross, to do any thing but bring contempt as well as scorn on their inventors. The real aim of the despots is to stop public opinion in England — they know that England never fosters conspirators, but it always censures tyrants, and they wish to put down the too fully merited censure. ELECTION COMMITTEES. One election committee has had the courage to do its duty, aud to pronounce a petition " frivolous and vexatious," but others have not come to equally decisive resolutions. And yet one of them had ample grounds to do so. The Mayo Election Com- mittee has been too weak or too formal. It could not avoid declar- ing that very bad priestly intimidation had been extensively used for one candidate, so extensively that he was not allowed to retain his seat. But surely if the decision was right so far, it ought to have gone farther. The man who by such bad meaus had been kept out of the seat to which he was justly entitled by the votes of persons who had not submitted to intimidation, ought to have obtained it. The committee, however, did not adopt this logical conclusion to the first part of the decision, but merely declared the election void. Was this merely the consequence of a want of form in the proceedings of the peti- tioner? If so, the fact is much to be regretted. The result will be a renewal of this priestly intimidation, for Dr M'Hale, against whom the committee did not report, will of course act ou his avowed doctrines of priest government; and the Com- mittee having specially reported on the misconduct of two priests, will simply direct two others to take their places, and renew their misconduct. This is but a lame and impotent conclusion. — — THE OXFORD ELECTION. It is gratifying to believe that Mr Thackeray's chances of success at Oxford are considerable. Mr Card well may still con- tinue absent from the house without any great injury to the public. He began his career as a real working man of business, but the speedy attainment of office converted him into a red tape- ist. Besides which, it ought not to be forgotten that he has thought fit to identify himself with that party which grossly misconducted the last war, aud that ho did his best to prevent any but a mere Gladstone and Sidney Herbert ( in other words a pro- Russian) Ministry coming into existence. The electors of Oxford, let us hope, will do justice to themselves and the coun- try by returning Mr Thackeray. He is a straightforward man.

When anything of a mischievously revolutionary character i8 to be attempted commend us to a Conservative for making the attempt. The Grand Jury System is assailed, and the assailan^ is, of all others, Sir F. Thesiger. Now we have the highest respect for this learned gentlemen, and our sorrow at seeing this excellent institution threatened and endangered is almost equalled by our regret that he should be its assailant. We can only suppose that he has given way under the pressure of a cer- tain class of men who, finding the discharge of a great public duty the occasional cause of personal inconvenience, are anxious to relieve themselves from this possible inconvenience without duly considering the price that they, in common with the rest of the country, may have to pay for their petty personal benefit. The principle of the old common law of England is that a man shall not, without the fullest and the fairest investigation, be personally subjected to the operation of the criminal law. Justices of the peace were known to the common law, but the common law did not give them uncontrolled power over the per- sons and liberties of their fellow subjects. A justice might com- mit for trial, but then came the grand jury, who had the power to say whether the accusation deserved a trial. How often in the bad times of our history, how often too, in very recent years, with weak or incapable or hasty magistrates, have grand juries saved innocent men from the pain, the trouble, and the disgrace of a needless trial- And by so doing they have saved the country from causeless expense, and the law from the discredit of inflicting needless suffering. And on the other hand indictments haye been found by grand juries against men who, if officials alone had had to deal with them, would have escaped just prosecution. All that is now to come to an end, and because of the small trouble to which a few gentlemen are occasionally subjected, this valuable protection to the individual and ta the public is to be with- drawn. The power of the grand jury is to be vested in a police magistrate. We have no wish to speak unkindly of police ma- gistrates, but all the world knows enough of them to know that, on the score of wisdom, they cannot set up to be superior to grand juries. But independently of this no one can forget the fact that Mr Arnold, one of the police magistrates, has delibe- rately printed and published ( a fact which some of his brethren aa distinctly but more privately avow), that the police magis- trates of this metropolis are not in a position to be independent. They are subject to the control of the Secretary of State, and their opinions are never by him treated with the same respect as that which he uniformly shows to the opinions of the Police Commissioner. To put an end to the grand jury is vir- tually, therefore, to hand over the metropolis to the Chief Commissioner of Police. This is indeed the continental system, but we hope that it may never become the system of England. If it should do so, our boasted security of person and home will soon become of the same value that belongs to it on the Continent, that is to say, of no value at all. It is curious, too, that this indirect proposal thus to vest enormous and uncon- trolled power in the Chief Commissioner of Police comes before Parliament at the same moment with a bill which, under pre- tence of putting down obscene publications, actually proposes to give the police a new and dangerous power to introduce the system of domiciliary visits, and, farther, prevent any actions for damages for the abuse of this power. The first of these most ob- jectionable measures has beeri ably and honourably opposed in MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. REINFORCEMENTS FOE INDIA.— The following six regiments of infantry will, in all probability, proceed to India as soon as transports for their conveyance can be procured— viz, the 20th Regiment, the 84th Regiment, the 42d Highlanders, the 54th Regiment, the 97th Regiment, and the Rifle Brigade, 2d Bat- talion. With the reinforcements already embarking, together with the troops on passage to China, who will ia all likelihood go to Calcutta instead, and three regiments from Persia and Qeylon, the Bengal force is now being strengthened by about 25,000 of the Queen's troops. In addition to the krge reinforce- ments, it is intended that six companies of artillery and two troops of the Royal Horse Artillery shall be immediately em- barked for Bengal. A naval force will also be despatched without delay, and to provide for this, an order in council passed to- day will, with the concurrence of the Legislature, increase the num- ber of seamen by 2,000. It is at the same time intended that the necessary operations in China shall not be delayed in conse- quence of the change of destination of the four infantry regi- ments some time since embarked for Hong Kong. We have already in the Chinese waters, besides some 6,000 or 7,000 sailors, the 5th and 59th Regiments ofJthe line, amounting to about 1,500 men, and the same number of marines. As soon as pos- sible a battalion of marines, 1,000 stroHg, will be added to this force.— Globe. A regimental order was on Thursday issued from the Adju- tant- General's office of the Royal Artillery, Woolwich, which states that the undermentioned troops and companies are to be held in readiness to embark for India, namely:— Major Ander- son's E troop Royal Horse Artillery, Ireland; Lieut- Colonel D'Aguillar's F troop ditto, Aldershott; Lieut- Colonel Gordon's 4th company, 14th battalion, Woolwich; Capt Ommanney's 5th company, 14th battalion, Shoeburyness; Capt Palmer's 6th company, 14th battalion, Portsmouth; Major Smith's 7th com- pany, 14th battalion, Portsmouth; Capt Paget's 8th company, 14th battalion, Woolwioh; Capt Gregory's 3d company, 3d bat- talion, Devonport. An order was also forwarded to the Royal Ordnance Department of Woolwich Arsenal, directing 40,000 rounds of ammunition to be despatched to Gravesend for em- barkation on board the Princess Charlotte, and other vessels to be hereafter named, under orders for India. The Adjutant- Ge- neral of the Royal Artillery has likewise ordered public notices to be distributed from head- quarters of the Royal Horse Artil- lery, Woolwich, to the effect that active and intelligent young men are required for the corps, from the ages of 18 to 20, and from 5 feet 8 inches in height; also a number of growing lads from 5 feet 7 inches in height, and a limited number of young men and lads acquainted with the management of horses, to serve as drivers, their height not to be under 5 feet 4 inches. It is understood to be the intention of the War authorities to send out a strong body of troops belonging to the Royal En- gineers at Chatham, in addition to the East India Company's Sappers and Miners now in that country. The companies men- tioned as likely to embark for this service are the 5th, Sth, 10 th, and 27th, accompanied by the Royal Engineer Field Equipment. Owing to the large number of troops proceeding from Chatham to India, for the purpose of joining the head- quarters of their respective regiments in Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, the depot companies of the Indian regiments at that garrison have been reduced far below their required strength. An order was ac- cordingly received at Chatham last week, directing that recruit- ing parties are to proceed immediately to various stations for the purpose of enlisting men for the following regiments now serving in India, viz :— 10th Foot, 24th, 29th, 82d, 52d ( Light In- fantry), 60th ( Royal Rifles) 3d battalion, 61st, 74th ( High- landers), 78th ( Highlanders), 81st, 86th, and 87th ( Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiments. Nearly 3,000 of the most efficient troops have been given by the depots at Chatham to the regiments now in India. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR H. BSOMLEY.— Admiral of the White Sir R. Howe Bromley died recently, aged 79. DEATH OF GENERAL BBATTY.— General George Beatty died recently in Dublin, in the 79th year of his age. He was first lieutenant, serving in the Theseus at the attack on Santa Crua, Teneriffe, 1797 ; and at the Nile, 1798. FIRE ON BOARD A CONVICT HULK.— On Wednesday morn- ing smoke was observed issuing from the hold of the convict hulk Defence, moored off Woolwich Arsenal, which, on a closer examination, was discovered to originate in the fore part of the ship, where about 200 or 300 tons of coals were housed for the use of the establishment. Every part of the huge vessel was soon filled with smoke, and the whole of the inmates were hastily removed to the invalid hulk lying alongside, called the ( Jnit6. Either from want of ventilation or some other cause the entire body of fuel had become ignited, it is supposed, from sponta- neous combustion, caused by the confinement of the gas. The united fire brigades, maintained at the Royal Arsenal and the Dockyard, under the direction of Inspectors Thompson and Budd, were promptly in attendance, and powerful efforts were made to extinguish the fire> It was not, however, extinguished for some hours. There is a probability of the fire having been occasioned by a spark from a pipe of one of the convicts while picking oakum, although the regulations of the establishment strictly forbid the use of tobacco, which regulation, however, it is said, is relaxed in the case of certain invalids. THE AGAMEMNON AND THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.— About 1,200 miles of the electric cable destined to stretch between Ireland and Nova Scotia have now been coiled away in the Agamemnon, which lies about a mile below Greenwich, and nearly 100 yards from shore, abreast of the wire rope factory. The cable is about 24 inches in circumference, and nearly as flexible as hemp; it passes from the factory over a series of pulleys to the Agamemnon, on the deck of which is a winding engine, worked by a small steam engine, and consisting of two deeply grooved wheels, each about six feet in diameter, over which the cable passes, and thence down the main- hatchway into the hold. In the hold, a large space, about sixty feet long, and extending the whole breadth of the ship, has been cleared of stanchions, & c, and a stout wooden cone, or core, some eight feet in diameter, has been erected ia the middle of it, in order to prevent the cen- tral fakes of the coil from being too small. As the cable comes down, it is received by a man, who walks round this space with it, handing it to other men placed all around, who make a Flemish coil of the cable as it is handed to them, and keep each fake in its place, close to the preceding fake; and so well has this been done, that though there must be now a depth of some fifty Flemish coils or layers, the top layer is as flat and regular as if it was upon a floor. The men in the hold are of course all standing on the coil, and work day and night in two gangs, six hours on and six hours off, and the cable comes in at about three miles an hour. The coil has now reached so near the orlop deck that the men cannot stand upright, and the pace be- comes slower. On the forward part of the orlop deck is another clear space and cone, destined to receive the thirty miles of thick cable which is to be next the land. On the upper deck is a larger winding engine, to be worked, if necessary, bya small steam engine, which, with its boiler, is on the main deck, the upper deck having been cut through in several places for the fittings. The winding engine is intended to assist in paying out the cable, and also to haul it in again if any failure should take place. From the steru of the ship projects a huge structure of timber over which the cable is to pass, and so keep clear of the screw. They intend to pay out at not more than five miles an hour. Although all this work is going on, the ship is kept in the most creditable state of cleanliness and order, and the officers have, as is usual in Queen's ships, the good nature to admit visitors in immense numbers, as if there was nothing extraordinary going on. The orlop deck and hold are lit up with gas brought from the shore, and distributed by flexible tubes. Wheu we see how the ship has been altered and cut about, we do not feel surprised that the officers of the Niagara hesitated before they allowed such changes on board their ship. We understand that the sound- ings obtained by her Majesty's steamer Cyclops, which has been engaged in checking for the Atlantic Telegraph Company the soundings taken by the United States steamer Arctic, are very satisfactory, bottom having been found all the way across the Atlantic, and for the greater part of the distance composed of fine sand and small shells; near this coast small pebbles were found mixed with the sand. The greatest depth sounded was about 2f miles. Captain Dayman has some intention of looking into Trinity Bay, but we understand he is expected in Queens- town by a certain date, and is fearful of losing too much time by making the trip thither. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH- COAST RAILWAY DIVIDEND. • The Board of Directors have decided upon recommending the INDIA. THE BENGAL MUTINY. Full details of the mutiny of the native troops in the Benga Presidency have been received within the past week. Letters to the 11th of June have been received, from which we can only make short extracts. The Times correspondent, writing on that day, says :— Many more regiments have mutinied, with more or less violence, but the military authorities have been, for the most part, ready and alert, and the crisis may be said to be past. Delhi has not vet fallen, but we are in daily, almost hourly, an- ticipation of hearing that such a blow has been struck at that centre of revolt as will annihilate the display, if not the spirit, of disaffection throughout the country. I sent with my last letter the list of tho English whose safety had up to that tima been assured. To that list is to be added the name of Sir Theophilus Metcalfe, who it was feared had fallen, but who is safe at Hausi. With regard t ® the officers of the three mutinous regiments, the 35th, 54tb, and 74th, I have tried in vain to reconcile the lists which have been published of those that have escaped and those that are still missing, the same names not unfrequently appear- ing in both, and that in one aud the same paper. In the present state of uncertainty I am loth to give the name of any officer as irretrievably lost. I do not, however, observe the name of Lieut Holland, of the 38th, among those of the refugees at Meerut, Umballah, or Kurnaul; nor those of Col Ripley, Cap- tains Smith and Burrows; Lieutenants Butler, Waterfield, and Edwardsi; Ensign Angelo and Surgeon Dopping, of the 54th; nor of Lieutenants Revely, Hyslop, and Addington, and Dr Batson, of the 74th. Mr Eraser, the commissioner, has undoubtedly fallen, and there appears only too much reason to believe a report, emanating from a letter writ- ten to the Rajah of Julluuder by his agent at Delhi, and published in English by the Deputy Commissioner of the former station, that on Wednesday, the 13th of May, two days after the outbreak, upwards of 50 Europeans of both sexes and all ages were discovered in their hiding- places and massacred. The sol- diery are represented to be without a leader, but other accounts tell us that they have elected to the supreme and second posts of command two native officers of the 3d Light Cavalry. Under this or other leadership they had the temerity to advance from the city and attack a portion of the force collecting to crush them. On the 30th of May a detachment of the European force at Meerut, the Carabineers, 60th Rifles, and Artillery, under the command of Brigadier Wilson, took up an advanced position at thevillageof Ghazee- ood- deen- nugger, where the road to Delhi crosses the little river of Hinduu by a suspension bridge, some fifteen miles from the capital. That same afternoon the enemy appeared in force with five guns on the further side of the stream, and a smart engagement followed. The Brigadier took his ar- tillery and Jdragoans across the river by a ford, while the Rifles passed the bridge. They attacked at once in front and flank; the mutineers were doubled up and driven back with the loss of all their'guns— part into a burning village, which they themselves had fired, and where they perished miserably; part into the open plain, where they were cut up by the sabres of the dragoons. Undaunted by this severe check, they returned to the attack on the following day, and were again repulsed. On the lst of Juue the Brigadier, whose loss on the first day had been about forty- killed and wounded ( that on the second is as yet unknown), was reinforced, aud no further attempt has been made to contest his possession of the bridge and ford. The mutineers have, no doubt, been busily occupied in preparing to receive the army advancing against them from Umballah, for, although there are rumours of desertions from Delhi, they have probably not been numerous, or the horsemen of Scinaia and of the Rajahs of Bhurtpore and Ulwar, not to speak of Agra volunteers, would have had their tale to tell of fugitives intercepted and destroyed. " I said in my last that General Anson was expected to leave Umballah about the 13th of May. It now appears that his ad- vanced guard reached Kurnaul on the 21st, the maiu body still remaining for some days at Umballah. The cause of this delay was the absence of heavy artillery at that station, and the con- sequent necessity of waiting till a siege- train could be brought from the nearest arsenal, which was as far off as Phillour, on the further side of the Sutlej. When the guns arrived, or were nearing his camp, the general advanced, and had reached Kur- naul when he was attacked by cholera, and died at that station on the 27th, The command of the army devolved upon Sir Henry Barnard^ who? as major- general, had been at the head of the Sirhiud Division. Meanwhile Brigadier Halifax, v » ith the advance, had arrived at Paneeput, fifty- six miles from Delhi, from which place he moved forward on the evening of the 29th. On the 30th Sir Henry and the main body were to march from Kurnaul; and by the morning of the 9th, the day before yester- day, it is thought that the whole force, strengthened by the greater portion of the Meerut Division, which was to join between Paneeput and Delhi, would appear before the revolted capital. The force is not quite so large as it was expected to be when I last wrote, for it was found necessary to disarm at Umballah two of the native corps — the 5th and 60th— which were to form part of it; but all the European troops of which I before gave the names are there:— 9th Lancers and Carabineers, 75th, 60th, lst and 2d Fusiliers, three troops of horse artillery, a field battery, and a siege train. Moreover, I should mention what I have hitherto omitted— the arrival of a portion of the Punjab Guide Corps, horse and foot, brought down from their station of Murdan, on the Affghan frontier. There are also the trusty Goorkhas of the Sirmoor battalion. The defences of the mutineers against this formidablo force are, I believe, a high wall and a ditch, and the guns of two siege trains. How they are off for ammunition is not known. The magazine was fired, and at least partially destroyed, at the commencement of the outbreak by Lieutenant Wilioughby, the Commissary of Ordnance, who it is feared perished ia the explosion. " Among other regiments of native troops that have been dis- armed or mutinied, appear the 9th, 16th, 24th, 26th, 27th, 44th, 45th, 48th, 49th, 51st, 55th, 57tli, 67th, 71st, and 72d Infantry, and the 5th Light Cavalry. " At Murdau, the 55th, or the greater portion of the regiment, deserted their colours. Their colonel, Spottiswoode, committed suicide. A party of Europeans and Irregulars from Peshawur attacked them, killed or captured 200, and drove the remainder to seek safety by hasty flight into the Swat Valley in their rear, the entrance to which is now carefully guarded against a pos- sible attack by the tribes. Six men of the corps had already been shot at Peshawur, together with a native officer of the 10th Irregulars, and the prisoners, 150 in number, were to be tried as soon as they were brought into the station. At the latest dates the whole of the Punjab was perfectly tranquil." A glance, says The Times correspondent at Rajpootana, and I shall have completed the tale of mutineers that, if my computa- tion is correct, have cost the Bengal army the whole or the greater part of 28 regiments of foot, of four of horse, two com- panies of artillery, each with a field battery, and of the corps of Sappers and Miners. The stations of Nusseerabad, near Ajmere, and Noemuch, usually garrisoned from Bombay, were at the beginning of the year drained of the infantry and guns of the army of that presidency by the pressure of the Persian jvar. There remained the lst Bombay Light Cavalry ( Lancers) cantoned at Nusseerabad, but that station received for infantry the 15th Bengal Native Infantry from Meerut, and 30th from Agra; and for artillery a Bengal native company, the 2d of the 7th battalion. To Neemuch there came the 72d Native Infantry and a native troop of Horse Artillery ( 4th of lst Battalion), both from Agra ; and a wing of the lst ( Bengal) Light Cavalry from Mhow. The Bengal troops at Nusseerabad, who had long been wavering, broke out into open mutiny oil the evening of the 28th of May. The Bombay Lancers were weakened by detachments, and drew less than 250 ires, but, " faithful found among the faithless, faithful only they," they charged again and again the overwhelming numbers of the mutineers in the hope of capturing their guus. But, as may be supposed, their loyalty and courage were not rewarded by success, and they were forced to draw off, with the loss among their officers of Captain Spcttiswoode and Comet Newberry killed, and Captain Hardy, aud Lieutenant F. Lach wounded. Their Colonel, Penny, died the following night from the effects of a fall from his horse. ' I have seen a letter from an officer engaged in the two ac- tions at Ghazee- ood- deea- nugger, of which I have spoken above. The five guns taken from the mutineers on the first day ( the 30th © f May) were of heavy calibre— one 24- pounder, one 18- pouuder, two 32- pounder howitzers, and o. ne 24- pounder how- itzer. Captain Andrews and eight men of the 60th were killed by the explosion of one of the enemy's ammunition waggons. The loss of the Carabineers was seven killed and wounded. IH the action of the following day the enemy again brought up heavy guns, which they succeeded in withdrawing, though they were routed with great slaughter. Our loss of forty included that of both days. Th@ men suffered more from the sua than from the shot of the enemy. Several were struck down dead by the heat, aud many injured more or less. Assistant- Surgeon Moore, of the Carabineers, was mortally wounded. Lieutenant De Bourbel, of the same regiment, lost three fingers of his right hand; and Napier, of the Rifles, his leg. Lieutenant Perkins, of the Horse Artillery, was killed. " MONDAY, JUNE 1< 5, NOON.— The mail has been kept open till this hour, and is now about to close. No further news from Delhi. General Reed was expected from Peshawur about the 9th, to take the command from Sir H. Barnard. Sir Patrick Grant has left Madras to succeed General Anson in the com- mand of the Bengal army only." THE DEATH OF GENERAL ANSON.— The mournful informa- tion was considerately broken to the Hon Mrs Anson on Satur- day week, before the sad news became generally known. Mrs Anson, who has returned only a few weeks from India, was deeply affected on receipt of the information. A memoir of the gallant General will be found in our Turf column. SIR COLIN CAMPBELL.— AS soon as the news of Goneral Anson's death reached the Government, an application was made to Sir Colin Campbell to undertake the command of the Indian army, and on his accepting, and being asked how soon he could be ready, he replied with characteristic energy, " To- morrow morning. Stop the outward mail, and I can catch her." The gallant officer actually started by the 8: 30 a. m. train on Monday morning for Dover, and caught the Vectis mail. He is expected to arrive at Calcutta about August 11. Lieut- General'Sir Colin Campbell entered the army in 1808, as an ensign in the 9th Regiment of Foot. He served in the Walcheren expedition, and throughout the Peninsular campaigns, having been present, among other engagements, at the battle of Vimiera, Corunna, Barrossa, and Vittoria, and at the siege of San Sebas- tian. He received two severe wounds at San Sebastian, and was again severely wounded at the passage of the Bidassoa. He then nroceeded to North America, and served there during 1814 aud 1815. He was subsequently employed in the West Indies, having been attached to the troops which quelled an insurrection in Demerara iu 1823. In 1842 he embarked for China, iu command of the 98 th Regiment of Foot, which he headed during the storming of Chiukeangfoo, and the operations in the Yang- tiz- Kiang, which led to the signature of the peace of Nankin. His next field of service was India, where he greatly distinguised him- self in the second Punjab campaign, under Lord Gough, in 1848 and 1849. Throughout that campaign he commanded a division of infantry, which was engaged at the battles of Chillianwallah and Goojerat, and the other affairs with the enemy, and he took an active part after the battle of Goojerat in the pursuit of Dost Mahommed and the occupation of Peshawur. He was among the wounded at the battle of Chillianwallah, and in con- sideration of bis distinguished services in the campaign he was appointed Knight Commander of the Bath. He subsequently held the command of the troops in the district of Peshawur, and during the years 1851 and 1852 he repeatedly undertook successful operations against the Momunds and other turbulent tribes of mountaineers in the neignbourhood of Peshawur and Kohat. He afterwards returned to England, and proceeded to Turkey in command of a brigade of infantry. His brilliant services throughout the operations in the Crimea, during which he commanded the Highland Brigade and the Highland Division, are fresh in the recollection of every one. His ser- vices during the Russian war were rewarded with promotion to the rank of lieutenant- general and the Grand Crosses of the Bath, the Legion of Honour, aud the Sardinian order of Maurice and St Lazare. He has recently held the important office of Inspector- General of Infantry, which he has now quitted in order to assume the supreme command in Bengal at a time when the actual and contingent dangers arising from the mutinies in the Bengal native army render it necessary to employ a general officer possessed of the highest vigour, activity, and capacity, and acquainted with the nature of Indian service and the peculiarities of the native soldiery. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The new scheme of the French Government for the renewal of negro slavery has got into operation. The following is a pas- sage from a letter > f Lloyd's agent at Fernando Po to the Committee of Lloyd's, dated the lst of June, 1857:—" May 22: French transport ship Phoenix arrived from Lagos with 300 Krooboys on board, bound to Martinique and Cayenne. Sailed 27th ult." A baker in Paris has already produced a loaf made from new wheat. Thi3 shows the harvest to be very early— at least three weeks earlier than last year. The Express, Sun, Leader, Saturday Review, Sunday Times, and Era, have all been seized for their comments on the Negro Slavery Scheme. The Pays contains an article asserting, in the usual form of words, that London is the centre of conspiracies against the Con- tinental Governments, aud calling for a change in our laws of personal liberty as if mere plotting here could do any mischief ir the Continental Governments prevented the plots from being carried into effect in their own dominions. MONTENEGRO. The following is a specimen of the conduct of a " protected prince," a constant rebel to the Porte, and therefore much in favour both with Austria and Russia:— TheAgram Oaeette says : —" Prince Danilo has had Captain Broseli, Lucce Popoviteh, and the son of the latter beheaded; the execution took place in the bazaar of Vir. The son of the Sirdar, Milo Martinovich, has been obliged to seek refuge beyond the Austrian frontier; the younger son of the Sirdar and his nephew, who were not able to escape, have been thrown into prison. An Austrian subject, who was domiciled at Cettingue, a merchant, named Marinovich, has been thrown into prison, and his property has been con- fiscated and sold. The reason is, that he was denounced as a friend of the ex- President George Petrovitch." SARDINIA. The disgraceful insurrection in Genoa has been completely put down. The men who got it up will nowhere meet with sympathy. NAPLES. The Two Sicilies are tranquil, nevertheless the Neapolitan funds have not risen* The official journal says that the insur- gents who escaped from the combat of Padula were attacked the next day near Sanza, by the Urban Guard, the 11th Chas- seurs, and the inhabitants. The remnant of the band lost thirty men, and ail the rest were made prisoners. The official journal thanfks the army and navy for its aid. It is said that the papers seized upon Colonel Pisicane were transmitted directly to the King, who alone perused them. The following facts are given as positive in recent private accounts received from Italy:— " The insurrection in Calabria is at an end. Its chief, Colonel Pisicane, was arrested at Cantazaro by a strong detachment of the Royal Gendarmerie under Lieutenant Moro. He was im- mediately sent to the fortress of Reggio to await orders from Naples. It is stated that the colonel, who is a man of great energy and resolution, appears much affected at the manner in which he was abandoned, and at the little sympathy which his enterprise had met with from the people." The Sardinian steamer Cagliari is in port at Naples, and the captain and crew, though they were found oa board bound and imprisoned when the vessel was deserted by the insurgents, have been subjected to a very severe examination. FINE ARTS. We regret that the extraordinary demands upon our space, caused by the mass of racing, aauatic, cricketing, and other meetings at the present season^ will not permit us to enter into so lengthened a notice of Barker's two magniticent pictures— " The Allied Generals before Sebastopol," and " General Williams leaving Kars," now exhibiting at the Auction Marl- as the importance of the subjects and their own extraordinary merits deserve. The former embraces upwards of seventy por- traits, including all the leading personages of both forces— Eng- lish, French, Sardinian, and Turkish— who took part in the memorable siege which led to the eventual fall of the " doomed city." Every one of these portraits is from life, and so easily re- cognisable that we may safely say that never has so large a collec- tion been brought together uuder more auspicious circumstances to secure accuracy of resemblance in union with pictorial cha- racter and effect. The whole composition has been studied wit's • exceeding care, and is free from the slightest formality or stiff- ness. The many groups are so arranged that whilst due pro- minence is given to the leading commanders of tho armies, of all the others scarcely any can be considered subordinate or so re- tired as to be ineffective for the purpose mainly kept in view. The " Kars picture" is in every respect a worthy companion to that of " The Allied Generals," and by many probably will be preferred from the rare merit of truth with the deep undying interest which the subject possesses. General Williams and his staff are represented leavirg the city they had de- fended with such heroic gallantry for upwards of six months against the attacks © f an overwhelming force, until at last plague, pestilence, and famine achieved that result which the Russians in vain essayed to attain. Of the deprivations endured by the occupants of the garrison our reader-.; are fami- liar from Dr Sandwith's book; but it has fallen to Mr Barker's lot to pourtray the horrors ot disease and famine as exhibited in the emaciated faces and forms of the men and women who bewail the departure of the Ghiaour Pasha; and in this effort he has succeeded with an intensity of vigorous truth and masterly conception that even his great master, Horace Vernet, never surpassed. Both pictures do honour to the British School of Art to which they belong, and are worthy of the honourable distinction of a place in the National Gallery of the country. They have been expressly painted for Mr J. G. Browne of Leicester and Messrs Aguew of Manchester, and will be engraved by Mr Charles G. Lewis, the engraver of so many of Landseer's fine works, aud of Mr Barker's celebrated Bassano picture of " Napoleon rebuking his Generals," the London publication being entrusted to Messrs Lloyd Brothers, ofGracechurch- street, whose subscription books already bespeak the popularity the works are likely to attain. At the gallery of the latter well- known publishers there is at present on view one of the most marvel- lous pictures of the " Falls of Niagara" ever exhibited in this country. It is by an American artist named Church, who has so far surpassed all previous representations of this wonder of the world, that we must request our readers to make a personal visit to witness what any description of our own can but inadequately express. POLICE INTELLIGENCE- BADEN. On the occasion of the birth of an hereditary prince, the Grand Duke of Baden has published an amnesty in favour of the individuals accused of, or condemned for, political offences during the events of 1848 and 1849. TURKEY. The busy meddling of the French consul at Damascus, incited thereto by some Roman Catholic priests, has had the effect of creating such a disturbance among the Christians of the pro- vince that some scores of them have gone over to the Russo- Greek Church. The Turkish Pasha endeavoured, but iu vain, to counsel moderation. PERSIA. The Persian correspondent of the Bombay Times makes a curious report to that paper. He states that the Shah has made a requisition upon General Outram for a column of troops to enforce the evacuation of Herat, which is held by his nephew, who, disapproving the terms of peace, refuses to withdraw from the place. The Bombay Times does not discredit the news, but is unable to vouch for its accuracy. A French paper says that the English have actually evacuated Mohammerah, aud the Persians actually surrendered Herat. THE WEST INDIA MAIL3. Tho Royal Mall Company's steamship Orinoco, Capt Sawyer, with the West India and Pacific mails, in charge of Liauteuant Tickell, R. N., arrived at Southampton on Thursday evening. Her dates are— Grey Town, June 19; Nassau, 13; Colon, 23; Demerara and Trinidad, 25; Jamaica and Grenada, 26; Barba- does, 27; Porto Rico, 29. She brings 168 passengers, specie value 922,551. dollars, and a full cargo. Seventy oases of yellow fever had eccurred on board, of which 28 were fatal. Not one pas- senger had taken the disease, and all of the crew who died were new hands, excepting the chief engineer. Owing to the nunsber of deaths that had taken place Mr Wiblin, the medical superin- tendent of quarantine, declined to give the ship pratique till Friday morning. From Jamaica advices are to the 23th ult. The island was hesrnij and business somewhat slack. The sugar crop was over, and the greater part of the produce snipped, a considerable quantity of which had been consigned to the United States. Abundant rains had fallen, and^ the canes promised well for next year. BURNING OF A STEAMER ON THE ST LAWRENCE.— LOS OF NEARLY THREE HUNDRED LIVES — The following letter contains some particulars of this dreadful occurrence, which was aunounced. iu our last:—" Quebec, Saturday, June 27.— The steamer Montreal ( one of the regular steamers running between Quebec and Montreal) left this port at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, having on board between 400 and 500 passengers, of whom a majority were Scotch and other emigrants recently arrived from Europe. Nothing unu- sual occurred after leaving the wharf until the Montreal had reached a point ( Gape Rouge) about twelve or fifteen miles above this city, when the woodwork near the furnaces was dis- covered to be on fire. Almost at the very moment that the smoke was first discovered the flames broke forth, causing the utmost consternation amongst the crowded passengers. The fire was first discovered at about five o'clock, when the steamer was nearly abreast of Cape Rouge. Every effort was made to arrest the flames, and for this purpose the engines were stopped so as to lessen the draft, but, finding it impossible to save the steamer, Captain Rudolph ordered her to be run towards the shore, and at tha same time the officers and crew exerted themselves to get out the life- boats. The flames spread with the most astonishing rapidity, aud in a few seconds after the steamer began to move forward ; the wildest confusion aud despair prevailed throughout the ship, and numbers of the passengers threw themselves overboard, and were in most eases drowned. Fortu- nately the steamer Napoleou, also bound for Montreal, was but a few miles in advance of the burning boat, and as soon as the fire was discovered put back with all possible expedition, and succeeded in rescuing from the burning wreck 127 passengers. Captain Rudolph and the purser of the Montreal were among the number of those who threw themselves into the river, and they being excellent swimmers, succeeded in reaching the steamer Alliance, and were saved. It is quite possible that others may have succeeded in saving themselves by swimming, but as the steamer became unmanageable when a considerable distance from the land, there is no doubt but that most of those who threw themselves from the burning boat found a watery grave. Sixteen of those saved died within a short time after they reached the deck of the Napoleon, and from present infor- mation it is believed that the total loss of life by this terrible disaster will not fall short of from three to four hundred. The steamer Alliance arrived here this afternoon with forty- five dead bodies, aud another boat is known to have recovered sixty bodies, but we have not been able to learn the names of any of those lost except Mr Philips, of the extensive lumbering firm of Norcross and Philips, of the Three Rivers. The Montreal had on board 258 immigrants, recently arrived here from Glasgow, together with several German families and raftsmen, and several American passengers. Much blame has been cast upon the captain and on the owners of the vessel by the local journals ; but the inquest, if it be properly conducted, should prove where lies the fault. It seems that at the place where the Montreal was run towards the shore a reef intervenes which prevented her reaching it. A short distance below is a bay and sandy beach. If she had been run on there all might have been saved." THE ROYAL VICTORIA PATRIOTIC ASYLUM.— On Saturday afternoon week the foundation- stone of a new asylum for the orphan daughters of soldiers, sailors, and marines, which is to be erected out of the surplus of the Patriotic Fund, was laid by her Majesty. As will be perhaps remembered, the subscription for the Patriotic Fund was commenced, by the especial desire of the Queeu, soon after the breaking out of the Russian war, and before its conclusion a total sum of about £ 1,500,000 was re- ceived by the Royal Commissioners, of which amount thecolonial possessions contributed a very large proportion. The sum was almost unparalleled in amount in the annals of public subscrip- tions, and although the number of individuals which the casual- ties of the war rendered objects to whom the assistance of the fund was eligible were very great indeed, yet, after giving full assistance to every case, a large surplus was still left over. With the surplus the Royal Commissioners, under the sanction of the Queen, determined to erect and endow a permanent industrial school for 300 of the orphan daughters of men serving in the various branches of the army and navy, considering that some lasting memorial was due to those who fought and suffered during the late war. The situation of the proposed building is on an open portion of Wandsworth Common, a short distance from the Clapham Commonstaiion of the South- western Railway and a short distance both from the Wandsworth House of Cor- rection and the Freemasons' School. MAYO ELECTION.— INTIMIDATION BY PRIESTS.— The com- mittee on the Mayo election have decided that Mr George Henry Moore was not duly elected, on account of the undue influence exercised by his agents. The importance of this judg- ment can hardly be overrated. The power of reoent legislation to put a stop to such practices as have for years disgraced Irish elections is now established. The committee declare " that un- due influence and spiritual intimidation prevailed to a con- siderable extent at the last election for the county of Mayo," and that " the Rev Peter Conway and the Rev Luke Ryan were so prominently active that the committee deem it their duty to report their conduct to the house, in order that such steps may be taken as may seem to the house to be proper aud necessary." It is to be hoped that the precedent of this case will govern the decisions of all future committees, and that " spiritual intimida- tion" may take its place among the offences for which a seat is for- feited. It is decided that " spiritualintimidation" comes withinthe meaning of the term " undue influence," and as undue influence unseats the candidate in whose favour it is employed, the holy canvassers of the sister island must learn what prudence they can. In the present case it was proved that the priests made political harangues from the altar ; that they threatened damna- tion to the voters for Colonel Higgins, denouncing them collec- tively and by name; that, on account of these inflammatory speeches, many of the electors were in danger of their lives, and that such arts were mainly the cause of Mr Moore's victory. It is also known that two witnesses who deposed to these facts before the committee have been severely beaten since their re- turn to Ireland, and that one of them now lies in a precarious state. If our election system is to be brought to anything like freedom and purity, such doings must be put down.— Times. THE CASE OF MADELEINE SMITH.— It will be interesting to our readers and the public to learn the numbers by which the jury in this case came to a decision. After deliberating, there were five for a verdict of " Guilty " and ten for one of " Not Proven." On the question of an absolute acquittal, there was no diversity of sentiment whatever. Madeleine Smith's father refuses to see her, and ere this she has left for a foreign land. The defence has cost somewhere about £ 4,000. A greater sum than that was CHINA. The news from China is unimportant. The dates from the Canton river are to the 23d May. There is little to report thence. The junks are again, we hear, appearing in large numbers, and in Fatshan Creek over 100, most of them of the largest size, were anchored, and batteries were erected on shore, the Chinese being apparently under the impression that an attack on Fat- shanwas contemplated by our forces. We hear it is the inten- tion, as soon as the, gunboats are ready, to clear the creeks of the numerous junks, which, being in the vicinity of our ships, give the Chinese opportunities of causing considerable annoy- ance. The Highflyer and seven gunboats had arrived from England. _ . _ . . payment of a dividend for the half- year of £ 210s per cent on the the Commons by Mr Bowyer, Mr Cobbett, Mr John Locke, and; Consolidated Stock of this company. BETTING TRANSACTIONS.— On Saturday week, at Guildhall, Sir R. Carden, in reference to some betting circulars which he had made public a few days ago, read a letter which he had received from Messrs Howard and Clinton, denying that any such circular had ever been issued by them, or that they had any subscriber at Bristol; consequently they denied the truth of the assertions put forward in the letter pub- lished at the desire of the magistrate.— Sir R. Carden said that, unfortunately for Messrs Howard and Clinton's de- nial, he had received other letters respecting this affair. Mr Johnson, of Bristol, had sent him two more circulars, which he had just received. The first one was headed " Messrs Howard and Clinton to Subscribers," under which was tke following :—" Newmarket July Meeting, Tuesday, July 7 — The July Stakes : Greenfinch. Wednesday— The Mid- summer Stakes : Comquot. Thursday — The Chesterfield Stakes: Harry Stanley," and so on with respect to various other races. Under which came—" Commissions executed free of charge, except the usual per centage on winnings— July 6, 1857. H. and C." The second circular was addressed to sub- scribersj and signed " H. and Q." Jt stated that the laforiasiion ° f the Writers respecting the events mentioned in their accom- panying circular was of the most positive and satisfactory nature— net leaving a doubt as to the result, and requesting the. r subscribers to remit at the earliest moment the amount they wished to invest. They were recommended to invest liberally, as the odds would be very good. " Post Office orders payable to Harry Howard, Post Office, Coventry- street, Soho, Banknotes may be sent by letter with perfect security."— Sir R. Carden said he had also received a letter from Messrs Rids- dale and Wailey, enclosing circulars similar to the last, and addressed to a clerk of theirs, who had been dismissed for embezzlement. Sir R. Garden said he was very much surprised that any young man should be found so simple as to be deluded by such a palpable attempt at fraud, which was evident upon the very face of the circulars. These betting establishments were most pernicious iu their effects, as they but too often led to the ruin of the inexperienced, who were first induced to risk their own money, and then that of their employers, until incarceration or an ignominious end terminated their career, which under other circumstances might have been prosperous and credit- able. It had been stated in the appeal of Merry against a con- viction for keeping a betting- house, that during the short period of ten months as much as £ 15,000 had been paid into the Union Bank by him, and ho had only drawn out £ 800. This would show the frightful extent to which that class of society was plundered. He was sorry the magistrates had uo power to deal criminally with these cases, but he hoped the press would give their assistance to make public such practice t « « t the evil might in some degree be eradicated. ANOTHER GAMBLING- HOUSE FORAY.— At Marlborough- street. on Wednesday, Charles Levy Goodman, 28, Coventry- street; Charles Stewart, 41, Gloucester- street, Queen- square, jeweller; William Johnstone, 17, Arundel- street, Haymarket, medical student; William Page, Alma Cottage, Manley- place; Robert Coombs, 46, Princes- street; John M'Donald, Oak Cottage, Kentish Town, ironmoulder; Henry Palmer, 3, Raphael- street, carpenter; Alfred Burdge, Rochestor- row, baker; William Costiff, Moreton- street, baker; Thomas Thomson, 36, Old Compton- street, tailor; Henry Langdon, 10, Panton- square, fentleman; Maurice Abithol, 76, York- road; Littleton Thomas ' owis, 14, Romley- terrace, Greenwich, fruit meter; William Gosliu, 4, Great Windmill street, grsom ; and Joseph Goodman, 28, Coventry- street, were charged with being found in a common gaining house, No. 28, Coventry- street. Charles Levy Goodixan was charged with being the keeper of the house, and is the same man who prosecuted Captain Erlam for the abduction of his daughter. Stewart was charged as doorkeeper.— Mr Lewis at- tended for the defendants.— Superintendent Hannant, C divi- sion, produced the authority from the Police Commissioners for entering the house, and stated that about one o'clock that morning he went to No. 28, Coventry- street, and found the shutters aud door closed. Inspector Lester, who accompanied him, knocked at the door, and some person, who he believed was the younger " Levy," looked through the window of the sliop- door. After a short delay the door was forced open, and witness aud the police made their entry. They found Goodman at a table in an inner room, with a backgammon board aud dice aud boxes on the table. The other defendants were on the pre- mises, and all the parties present were conveyed to the station- house. Witness returned and searched the house. The table in the inner room was about six feet long, and covered with tlireo cloths, now produced. Eight or nine dice were found iu a drawer. On Coomb3 a considerable sum of money was found. Mr Bingham: Did you see whether the street door had any bolt, bar, or chain?— Witness: I did not. There is a shop to the house.— Mr Lewis cross- examined the witness as to the position of Goodman, jun, when tho police first saw him, but nothing came of it. The witness went on to say— the warrant was dated the lst of May, but the police were not watching the house all the time. Did not see any of the defendants doing anything except smoking cigars. Did not see any unlawful game being played. Could not tell whether the street door was fastened with anything but a common catch.— Inspector Lester, G division, was called, and he corroborated the statement of the superintendent, and proved that over the door of the shop was the inscription, " Abraham Goodman Levy, licensed dealer in tobacco." After making an entry, and finding the elder Good- man at the table, with a backgammon board before him, Good- man started up and asked what it all meant. He told him that the house was believed to be a common gaming- house. Goodman denied it, and said that it was his place, and his house was licensed as a tobacconist's. The table before which Goodman was sitting had three covers, one nailed to the table. This arrangement was for the purpose of deadening the sound of dice. Found about eight dice in a drawer and 82 playing cards.— Goodman: They were for the purpose of playing cribbage. They have been in the drawer a year and a half.— Inspector Lester: There was a cribbage- board ia the drawer. There were a number of tobacco- boxes in the shop, but no cigars in them. There was no tobacco in the shop or money in the till. There were a few tobacco pipes and some tobacco in the window. About £ 200 in notes and gold was found on Coombs.— Cross- examined by Mr Lewis: About a moment elapsed before the police were admitted. The younger Goodman saw the police through the windows of the shefp and the street doors, and witness believed that a signal was made to the persons in- side.— Police- constable Mitchell, A 298, proved that he watched the house, and saw about 35 persons go in and out of the shop. Stewart had charge of the door all the time, and had acted as doorkeeper for the last two months. Had not seen one person buy tobacco for the last two months.— Mr Lewis contended that this evidence was not material.— Mr Bingham said it was very material to show that a shop ostensibly licensed for the sale of tobacco really did not sell tobacco at all.— Mr Lewis wished to have an opinion whether backgammon was an unlawful game,— Mr Bingham said backgammon was not an unlawful game, but the present case did not involve a question of that kind.— One of the defendants named Thomson was then called to prove the case against the defendants. Had been in the room about three quarters of an hour before the police came. Saw nothing but backgammon played. Did not play himself. Did not see dice used except for backgammon. No playing cards of any de- scription were used. No person made a bet. No one offered a bet. Did not know why so many persons were assembled together. Witness had been shut out and went in the shop to pass away time. Had purchased a cigar at Goodman's within the last month.— Littleton Thomas Powis, another defendant, was called, but before being sworn, wished to know whether he was bound to give evidence against himself?— Mr Bingham said, according to the new law, he could call a defendant and examine him as a witness, and if he refused to give evidence the defendant was liable to a severe punishment. — The witness thanked the magistrate, but must decline to give evidence,— Mr Bingham having read the clause iu the act to the defendant, the defendant said he had nothing to say, and, therefore, could give no evidence.— Mr Bingham : Then for the present you stand committed for refusing to give evidence.— Alfred Burdge, another defendant, was next called : Went with a friend into Goodman's shop to have a cigar. The company there were talking and smoking, and some were playing at back- Sammon. Did Dot see any other game played. Had been to the ouse five or six times before, but saw no unlawful games played,— Wm. Costiff, another defendant, was taken by Burdge to Goodman's last night for the first time, and believed that by going he would be able to get some information about a race at the house. Saw no gaming at the house while he was there.— Mr Lewis, for the defence, contended that nothing had been put in evidence to show that this was, as alleged, a common gaming house, or that the parties found in the house were there for gaming purposes. The reason why so many persons were in the house was because some notoriety attached to Goodman.— Mr Bingham said, as this was a new act, he would give his judg- ment next Wednesday. MURDER AT CAMBERWELL.— At Lambeth, on Thursday, Alice Williams, aged 35, was charged With the murder of Henry Rix, of 1, Coburg Cottages, Neat- street, Camberwell.— S. P. Muugay, police- constable 41 P, said that that morning, about eleven o'clock, Mr Rix ( the deceased) came to the station house and complained of the treatment of the prisoner towards him. He proceeded with him to hi3 house, No. 1, Coburg Cottages, Neat- street, Camberwell, where ho remained some time without seeing the prisoner, aud after the lapse of an hour he left, but upon reaching . the Albany- road some boys called him back again, and upon reaching the house the second time he found Mr Rix dead.— The Magistrate: Where was the pri- soner at that time ? Witness : She had gone to her own house, subscribed for the purpose by a few of the leading Glasgow merchants. One old bachelor, a relative and namesake of the junior member for the city, put down a thousand pounds as i and I found her lying on her bed.— Was she asleep ? No, sir: his own share. The Messrs Houldsworth, to which firm William i but she pretended to be.— Did you say anything to her ? Yes, Minnoch belongs, were, it is said, willing to give the same mea- ! I charged her with having murdered Mr Rix, and I told her sure of assistance ; so were the wealthy family of the Bairds, ! that I must take her into custody, when she laughed, and said, THE QUEEN AT ALDERSHOTT.— Her Majesty and the royal family paid another visit to Aldershott on Thursday afternoon. After driving through the Camp the royal party went to the and a rich uncle of the prisoner, from whom she has " expects tions." The Dean of Faculty's fee was £ 250, and a " refresher" of £ 70 every morning of the trial. Mr Young, who was asso- ciated with the Dean in the defence, received £ 400 altogether. — Liverpool Albion. THE MURDER OF ME LITTLE.— At half- past three on Wed- nesday afternoon James Spollen was brought up at Capel- street police- office, Dublin, and, the new informations having been read over, he was formally committed to take his trial for the wilful murder of Mr George Samuel Little at Broadstoue ter- minus. The prisoner, on being asked the usual question, whether he had anything to say, replied that he would reserve his defence for another tribunal. HEALTH OF LONDON.— Tue deaths registered in the week ending July 11th were 988, of which 508 were niales, and 480 Royal Pavilion, where many officers had the honour of going to the dinner party. The Queen passed the night at the pavilion. : „ » uv On Friday there was a grand sham fight, and on Saturday there j females. The number is 86 less than the average. Diarrhoea car was to be a field day, after which her Majesty was to proceeded * ried off 133 persons, The births were 855 boys, and SIX girls; Osborne. Isle of Wight, " total. 1,666. Well, it is a good job too."— Did she say anything else ? on the way to the station she said if she could have only five minutes with Mrs Rix, she would not mind going to Horse- monger- lane and be hanged. She was slightly under the influ- ence of liquor ; but she appeared to know perfectly well what she was doing.— Elizabeth Brewer, of No. 9, Neat- street, said that at half- past eighfthat morning she heard the prisoner go into Mr Rix's shop, and she heard her say that she would do for him. She then had stones in her hands, which she wanted to throw at him. She said, " Come out and I will do for you. I don't mind being hanged for you," and after threatening him for something, said, " I will have your life." She remained there half an hour, and tried to incite some boys to call after him; aud Mr Rix went to the police- station, and whilst he was gone she struck Mrs Rix. The deceased returned with a police- man, who remained some time, and when he left she returned and forced open the door, when he ran and laid hold of her hands, but she flew at him.— Do you know whether she threw a stone at him ? I do not.— Did you notice any injury on his per- son? I assisted to lay him out, and I found a deep cut, which was bleeding, on the right side of the cheek, just below the eye. — What sort of a wound was it ? A very deep one, the under part of the eye being cut open.— The prisoner was remanded until after the inquest. BURGLAR FELLED BY A CRICKET BAT.— At Westminster, on Tuesday, George Whelton, a young man, was placed at the bar, charged with burglary at Mr Jubb's, the New Star and Crown, iiroadway, Westminster. Prisoner's temples and nose were covered with strapping, and he appeared in a very weak state. He had just been brought from the Westminster Hospital to undergo his examination, during which he fell on the floor ia the felon's dock, and caused considerable sensation in the court. Mr Jubb said that between two and three on the morning of the 22d ult he heard a noise while in bed, and on getting up and listening attentively, was certain there was somebody in the lower part of the house. He partially dressed, and having got a light and called his nephew, he seized a cricket bat, which was the first instrument that came to hand, and went dowtPto the bar. He listened outside for a moment, and heard the jingling of copper money as it was being removed from the till. He sud- denly opened the bar; when, observing something flying across the counter, he struck at it, and it fell heavily on the other side. Not knowing how many thieves might be in the house, he turned round prepared to fell any one he might discover, but found the prisoner was there alone. The police at that moment knocked at the door, and he admitted them. He had secured his house at twelve on the previous nigkt, when he retired to rest, aud there was no doubt that the prisoner, who must have concealed himself in the back yard, had effected an entrance by breaking a pane of glass, and removing tho fastening of a sash. A quan- tity of copper money had been taken away. William Weighton, 175 B, stated that he was passing Mr Jubb's, whan he heard a noise, succeeded by a heavy fall. He knocked at the door, and upoa being admitted by Mr Jubb, found the prisoner lying by the side, of the counter insensible, and bleeding profusely from the head. He was conveyed to the hospital, where he remained until brought to this court. On searching his clothes, 6s in cop per money was found. Prisoner was remanded till Wednesday- MURDER BY A LUNATIC.— At Marlborouph- street, on Tues- day, John Payne, a labourer, was charged with the murder of Richard Empson. It seemed the prisoner, who was a casual pauper in St Martin's Workhouse, was placed in the lunatic ward, of which Empson had the charge. He was violent, and had a strait waistcoat placed on him. On the 10th inst ! ae asked for some water, and deceased desired another inmate to loosen the jacket of the prisoner, and to fetch him some water. The jacket was unloosed, and while Dixon, the other inmate, was gone for the water, he heard a cry of " murder," and, turning round, saw the prisoner following him with a shovel. Dixon ran away into the ward, and fastened the door. On looking round he found Empson with his skull fractured in several places. He died in a few minutes. The prisoner'was secured with great difficulty, and on being asked why he killed Empson, he said the man had tried to kill him. The prisoner, who said he re- served his defence, was committed for trial. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MURDER BY A SWEETHEART.— At Chelmsford, on Wednes- day, Charles Finch, aged 26, was indicted for the murder of Harriet Freeborn, at Riveuliall, Essex. It appeared that the prisoner, who had been in the Land Transport Corps, was en- gaged to be married to the deceased, but suddenly became ex- tremely jealous, although apparently without cause, and vowed he would do her some injury. On the 20th of May deceased left her master's house, who was a farmer at Upton, near Riven- hall, and started for church, and, just as she arrived at a stile in a field near the town, the prisoner suddsulyjumped over the stile, and, without saying a word, he inflicted a wound in her throat with a razor. He then went away a short distance, and returned and gave her another wound in the throat, and, sub- sequently, a third, one of them severing the windpipe, and being of a very dangerous character. The deceased contrived to make her way to her master's house, where Mr Tompkins, a sur- geon, of Witham, promptly attended, and dressed the wounds, and for some time there appeared a prospect of her recovery, but on the 26 th of June she became worse and died on that day, and upon a post mortem examination it was discovered! that the injuries the deceased had received had caused extensive inflammation of the windpipe, and that tSig was the cause of death. The prisoner was taken into custody sitting in a ditch near the spot where the dreadful deed had been committed, and his jacket and cap, covered with blood, were found near him, aud a razor, which was the instrument he bad made use of, was picked up close by him. He appeared to make no secret of his having committed the: crime, and was ori- ginally committed to take his trial for wounding with intent to murder, but upon the event of tho death of the deceased subse- quently taking place the coroner's jury returned a verdict of wilful murder agaiast the prisoner, and he was now tried upon that inquisition.— The defence was that the prisoner's intellect had been injured by Crimean fever, but of this there was no evidence, and he was found guilty and sentenced to die. CHILD MURDER.— At York, on Monday, Sarah Jemmison was tried for the murder of her illegitimate son Joseph, aged three years, it seemed the child was puc out to nurse soon after it was bopa, but a short time back the person who had charge of it declined to keep it any longer. . The prisoner was at that time living as servant in the house of a Mr Pearson, at Egten, a farmer there, and in his absence at market she brought the child to his house. On his return he objected to its re- maining there, having, as he said, as many as he could keep him- self already. It was then proposed by her that she should take her boy to a relation at Moorsholm, a distance of twelve miles off. Tho farmer consented to her going; he sent with her his son, a young lad, with his donkey and cart, to help her on the road. She parted from the lad at the junction of two road.^ one of wliica she followed, leading to a large tract of moor ianu. Tae child was never again seen alive. This was in December last. Three months after, a shepherd observed his dog feed- ing on something, and, on inspecting it, found it to be the leg of a child. He returned home, taking it with him, and on some one's suggesti ® n the dog was fastened up and kept without food for two days, and then let out. He at once went away to the moor in question, and returned apparently sated. He was then again taken to the moor, and led the way to a spot near where Pearson's son had parted with the prisoner, and there a thigh, and, not far off, the skull of a child were found. Further search was made, and other parts, sadly mangled and torn, as was supposed by the dog, were discovered. On the skull were traces of injuries as to which evidence was laid before the jury by medical men, to the effect that in their opinion those injuries had been inflicted during life, and were not such as could be caused by the gnawing of a dog. The dress of the child was found distributed about, and some of the remains were lying at least a mile from where those first mentioned were dis- covered. Statements by the prisoner were also proved, upon which great reliance could not be placed, as part had been ob- tained uuder a most reprehensible course of examination by a police- constable, a practice which has already, both at this and former assizes, received the severest ailimadversion from judges, but which still seems to be persisted in. One statement, how- ever, was completely contradicted, and that was that, when asked what she had done with the child, she said she had left him with Mrs Wilson, his father's sister. The jury convicted the prisoner, but recommended her to mercy oa account of her destitute state. She was sentenced to death. GROSS OUTRAGE ON A YOUNG LADY.— At Oxford, on Tuesday, James Wyatt, aged about twenty, was charged with assaulting and robbing Miss Ada Pratt, on Monday, the 29th of June, at Banbury. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutrix. Miss Ada Elizabeth Pratt, resides with her mother at Wykham, a short distance from Banbury, and that she is in the habit of going to Christ Church, Banbury, to practise on the organ. She had been engaged in this practice on Monday, the 29th of June, and left Banbury at twenty minutes to five to go home. On her way she called at Calthorp- terraee, where she stayed for a few minutes, and continued her walk home. When within about a quarter of a mile of her mother's house she noticed that she was followed by a man whom she afterwards identified as the pri- soner. Not liking the appearance of the man, she loitered about, with the view of letting him pass. He did so, but subsequently contrived to get behind Miss Pratt again. lie suddenly sprang upon her, threw her down, and attempted to take liberties with her. She resisted him aud got up again. He threw her down a second time, and hit aad kicked her with the most brutal violence, and snatched her watch away. In the second struggle the leg of the prosecutrix was broken. Prisoner was seen near the spot where the outrage was committed by four or five witnesses, about the time of the occurrence.— On tho part of the prisoner Mr Cripps contended that the identity of pri- soner was uot satisfactorily established, and that the evidence failed to bring home the charge to him.— The jury found the prisoner Guilty, aud he was sentenced to sixteen years' penal servitude. TEE GAME OF CHESS. GREAT CHESS MEETING AT MANCHESTER, The Art- Union Exhibition at Manchester drawing its thou- sands of visitors from every part of civilised Europe, has sug. gested to the spirited Manchester Chess Club the gathering to- gether of chess players on the occasion, to form a grand chess meeting worthy of the Arts, among which Chess stands out so conspicuously. Under the management of Mr Kipping, hon seo of the club, and his energetic associates, we believe, a most in- teresting assemblage of European chess players will take place. The days fixed are the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th of August, and chess players, by communicating with Mr Kipping, may advan- tage themselves of an arrangement formed with tho proprietors ofWovenden's Hotel, Market- street, Manchester, the place of tryst, by virtue of which they will have liberal accommodation in that well- known hostelry on moderate terms. The European chess champion ( need we name Anderssen of Bresslau?) will cer- tainly be present, supported by Horwitz, Lowenthal, Harrwitz, and other chess celebrities. Much interest is excited by the " avatur" of Herr Anderssen, who has not been here sines 1851, when in the mock tournament at the St George's Club he so easily carried off the laurels ( such as they were) of the occasion. The following attractions are part of the Manchester programme: A eonsulation match between foreign players, headed by An- derssen and Harrwitz, against some of the best English amateurs; a return match between Harrwitz and Lowenthal; termination of the consultation match between Manchester and Oxford University; contests between provincial clubs, represented either by champions or committees ; one- game tournaments for individual players ; prizes to . the composers of the two best problems— one to be in three, the other in four moves; the pub- lication of a report of the meeting, with notes on the games played, and of course the moves, by an eminent analyst. Besides foreign players, numerousEnglishamateursof eminence have pro- mised their attendance, and the chess chiefs of Scotland and Ire- land have promised their attendance. We believe a subscription of 5s individually will be expected towards defraying the expenses, and clubs may reasonably be invited to contribute severally to the same fund. This projected meeting springs in fact out of the Provincial Chess Association, who were disappointed of their reunion some time back at Leamington, and whose subse- quent fixture for Birmingham never came off, as we foretold it never would do. We have had the prospectus of the present proposed meeting some time before us, but, as originally con- cocted, we found it so objectionable that we thought it worse than unworthy our notice, containing, as it did, a plan for in- troducing a new code of chess laws, to be drawn up ( or already drawn up, cut and dried) for the edification of us " Chess Youth," by two or three individuals only 1 No reference co the clubs of London and Paris, but a crude attempt at new legislature, boldly got up ( as we fancied) like the razor- man's ware, " to sell;" and we moreover fancied that the present meeting was to be taxed to pay the cost of printing. New laws indeed! Shades of Mac- donnell and Labourdonnais, what think ye of this improvement on the chess you played? New laws ! No new laws for us; we hold all such attempts to be mere fumes of vanity and quackery. We want to bequeath chess to our posterity intact, as we re- ceived it from the glorious dead. We want the chess of Philidor, of Deschappelles, of De la Bourdonnais and Macdonnell, and set our faces against the most distant shadow of trumpery innova- tion, proposed to be foisted on us under the specious term of " improvement," The Manchester Club have acted well and wisely in thus leaving out the farce originally appended to their entertainment, and their " meeting has our hearty good wishes for its full and complete success.

MONDAY, JULY 13.— A good attendance led to some spirited betting on the Liverpool Cup, for which our list of prices exhibits several changes compared with the latest quotations of the pre- vious week. The most important was in Rogerthorpe, who jumped to the " head of the poll" on Saturday, and to- day was in such ifoivcrsal demand that from 5 to 1, his opening price at " the Corner," he left off at 100 to 30 ( takers). Bashi Bazouk was also in force, and Newton le Willows, Grey Pyrrhus, and Capt White's two— Gilliver and Moose— had numerous sup- porters at the prices quoted. Janet had been backed for some money in the City, but Prizefighter, Lima, and Relapse were friendless. The Goodwood Stakes betting is only noticeable for the introduction of a new favourite in Gunboat, about whom 20 to 1 was scarcely obtainable at the close. Florin was backed for £ 100 at 9 to 1 for the Cup, and 1,800 to 200 was taken abou1 Gemma di Vergy. Very little was done upon the Leger; 250 to 100 was taken once about the mare, and she had the decided call of Ignoramus, against whom 300 to 100 was laid and afterwards offered.

The following opinion was given by Admiral Rous during the recent Liverpool Meeting :— CASE.— A Handicap, with several subscribers, is advertised to appear on the ISth of July. By some inadvertence the weights are published on the 8th. Question.— Firstly: Whether the premature publishing of the weights nullities the engagement ? Secondly: Whether a horse which wins a race in the interval betweon the 8th and the 13th of July should carry the penalty of extra weight imposed upon winners after the publication of the weights? OPINION.— I am of opinion that the engagement is valid, be- cause in all cases of nomination, the articles signify on or before the date specified. A horse winning previously to the 13th July is exempted from carrying the extra penalty of weight. July 15,1857. H. J. Rous. HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAGEMENTS.

Bell, of the Hall, Thirsk, has named his foals of 1857 as follows:— Bay filly by Hermit out of La Femme Sage ( La Victime's dam), Madeleine Smith ; chesnut colt by Vatican, Hermit, Turnus, or Spencer out of Laura Mid- dleton, by Bay Middleton, The Swift; grey colt by Vatican out of Grey Hen, by Chanticleer, granddam La Femme Sage, by Physician or Gainsborough, The Pontiff. Arrived in Hull on tho 4th inst, by the Emperor steamer, from Russia, Mr Peteroffsky's Vision, bay horse, 4 years old, by Signal, son of Memnon out of Vesta, by Hetiriade. He is gone to Mickleham, to be trained by John Gregory, who formerly lived with H. S. Thompson, Esq, and Colonel Thompson, but for some years past a private trainer in Russia. Mons Lupin's horses, Florin, Potocki, and Paladin, engaged in the Goodwood Cup and Stakes, have arrived at Fyfield from Chantilly under the care of R. Cunnington, their private trainer. Mr Lamert has named his yearling colt by Touchstone out of Days of Yore, Compton; and yearling filly by West Australian out of Sauuterer's dam, Lady JRoden, the present state of the turf. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LOUDON. SIR : Lord Derby's letter is tho all- prevailing topic of the day in racing circles, and as your daily contemporaries have thought proper to bring it prominently before the public, with a view of damaging as much as possible the character of the nobleman, whom I will assume for the nonce to he the plaintiff in the case, I trust you will permit me to be " heard on the other side," and submit to your readers the reflections which a quiet and impartial consideration of the state of facts has en- gendered in my mind. For many years past I think it will be admitted that the state of the Turf has not been as wholesome as could be desired. Abuses have crept in which, under so lynx- eyed a reformer as Lord George Bentinck, would have been remedied ; and, although Admiral Rous, when appealed to, has done everything in his power to mitigate existing evils, still it is hardly to be expected he should take upon his own shoulders a bill of pains and penalties unless he had the active and cordial support of the Stewards of the Jockey Club. Therefore, the letter of Lord Derby at the present mo- ment is most opportune, and its success with the noblemen and gentlemen to whom it was addressed is greatly to be appre. dated, as it proclaims that the Peers of England are not indif- ferent to the manner in whish the first of their national sports is carried on; and their determined resolution that Newmarket shall not become* the Alsatia of the " brigands of society." I am satisfied that whilst such measures as those contained in the resolution of Lord Derby are promulgated, the Jockey Club will not be looked upon as the effete body they have hitherto been regarded, but take a much higher position in public esti- mation, as the guardians of the morality of the Turf, than formerly. Wrong doers will hesitate in pursuing their flagitious courses, and noblemen and country gentlemen will no longer be afraid to race as they did in days of yore, when they discover that the Augean stable has been swept, and racing restored to. its natural position. It may, and I believe, Sir, has been urged that the sentence in the present case is too severe, and that the guilt of the party has only been proved by a confederate of da- maged character; but had not two juries unhesitatingly come to the same conclusion on the subject, neither Lord Derby, nor any public body of individuals, would have carried the measure so unanimously as is admitted was the case at Newmarket, Racing, from the earliest age, has been as much the sport of kings as of their people; aud in what land is not the horse regarded with fonelness for his properties of affording usefulness and amuse- ment ? In this country it has ever been the relaxation of Prime Ministers from their cares of office, and when in the present day to the official organ of the Turf aro attached as subscribers the names of the Sovereigu herself, eight dukes, seven mar- quises, twenty- four earls, tweuty barons, and twenty- nine baronets, should we care for the sneers of The Times, or hesitate to applaud the step which the Earl of Derby has had the courage to take in behalf of the interest of the sport illustrated by such exalted patronage? And even when an heir- apparent to the throne has been compelled to bow to public opinion, in all probability most erroneously, shall it be said'that a person convicted of such frauds as have been proved against him shall be permitted to elbow his way with the peer and the legislator, laughing in his sleeve at the low depth of de* gradation to which that class of persons must have fallen when they condescend to mix with him for the purpose of laying or t& king a bet. Of course there are, and have been, black sheep in all classes of society. The Church has not been without its Dodd, nor the banking interest without its Fauntleroy or Dean Paul ; surgery has to blush for its Palmer; the Legislature for its Sadleir, and the vermin of the law are " too numerous to mention." Therefore, why the Turf is to suffer for the misdeeds of a person connected with it I am at a loss to understand. When the aristocracy leave the Turf its knell is rung, therefore every measure that is framed which will tend to keep on that body and attract fresh comers to it must be appre- ciated. The very first clause of Lord Derby's Reform Bill havinghit the right nail upou the head, itis to be hoped that the remainder of the measure, which it is understood is still under consideration, will pass with equal rapidity, and the name of Derby will then be as indelibly implanted in the minds of his countrymen as the reformer of Turf abuses as that of Bentinck ; and the services he will have rendered to society as great and lasting as those which he has accomplished in the senate in matters of political economy. As for the remarks of The Times on racing generally, I do not attribute that importance to them which is attached insome quarters. The iguorance of the writer is most lamentable, and the whole article consisting of a tissue of generalities, is evi- dently but a peg to display the hostility of the " Thunderer " to Lord Derby. Its object as regards the Turf, we are at a loss to conjecture. Would our contemporary propose that the keeping of race horses should be solely confined to the " upper ten thou- sand," and that the same parths of gaining distinction in any other pursuit should be shut out from the racing man ? If such were the case, the free trade journal, I imagine, would be loud in its anathemas, and the hardship of " closing the ports " would be exposed with its customary vigour. We grant that it would be highly desirable that more noblemen and gentlemen's colours should be seen in the " card of the day " than is now the case ; but all sports fluctuate, and within the last few years the nation has been called upoR to endure fresh burdens in behalf of its honour, and the infliction of a double income- tax can hardly be considered favourable to the establishment of a fresh luxury like a racing stud. The mean allusion which our con' temporary makes towards the conduct of noblemen running their horses in a peculiar way that body may well afford to pass over with contempt, for the private life of those members of the peerage whose race is quite as pure and irreproachable as that of the remainder of their class, who are more at home in the royal institution or Exeter Hall. The Annual Register tells us of peers who have fallen from their high estate for various crimes and misdemeanours, but in matters relative to the Turf not a single instance can be found of a departure from the strict line of duty by any English nobleman; and while, sir, our coun- trymen are able to boast with pride of the colours of a Beaufort, a Bedford, an Anglesea, a Chesterfield, a Derby, a Glasgow, or a Wilton in their racing cards, they may treat with their habitual indifference the heavy and stupid attacks of The Times upon that sport so vitally English, and which has defeated every attempt hitherto made to expurgate it from the recreations of our country. So much for the upper classes of the Turf, and now one word in behalf of the Professionals. The writer in The Times has been pleased to talk of the gloomy countenances of the betting men, and their nervous anxiety. Be it so, but if he has ever ventured into the vicinity of the Stock Exchange he must have discovered very little difference. Each class have to meet their, liabilities and if Capel- court and Hyde Park- corner compared notes, I should have no fear for the result, as far as the " settlement" is concerned. Moreover, that Turfites are a selfish class of men— worse than those engaged in, other " games of specula, tion," I utterly deny; and the subscriptions which they raised in behalf of the Irish Famine, and the Patriotic Funds, as well as their liberal donation towards the rebuilding of Doncaster Church, and many other instances that could be enumerated, prove, that when properly appealed to, their mite is always forthcoming; consequently the accusations made against them are as void of sense as of decency. The Nottingham and Stamford Meetings, by a judicious ar- rangement between their respective managements, are now made to follow one another without clashing, and at each place there are symptoms of the racing being quite up to the standard mark of provincial reunions. The Nottingham programme is the most liberal of the twain, seven events having been put into the first day's card and eight into the second. With the Trial Stakes the circuit will commence, but as the entry does not close until the night before running, I must oommence with the Robin Hood Stakes, to which there are seventeen nominations, none of them having the same racing pretensions as Eurydice, though liable to a 71b penalty. The Nottinghamshire Handicap has, ere now, been the scene of some of the finest contests of the season, and although we can hardly expect a repetition of the severe races between Hun" gerford and Braxey, and Lady Evelyn and Prettyboy, still the horses have been put together with considerable skill, and in the absence of a single bet upon it for a landmark, he will be a fortunate prophet that selects the winner. King of the Gip- sies, Peeping Tom, and Janet, strike me as the most formidable. The Sherwood Handicap has olosed With thirteen nomina- tions, of which Courtenay takes precedence of all others in my estimation. The Castle Plate Handicap looks upon paper likely to be car- ried off by Sorceress or Admiral Lyons.", On Wednesday we have the Chesterfield Handicap, for which ten of the seventeen entered have been left in— Queen Bess look- ing as formidable as anything. The Bunney Park Stakes contains the names of some of the best two year olds of the season, and I am inclined to fancy Princess Royal more than anything. The Nottingham Nursery Plate is sure to be well represented at the post. Maggie Lauder and Charles Peck's two ( Madame Ristori and Conductor) are the lot which, from what I have ob. served this year, ought to furnish the winner. The other events will not bear commenting upen at the present time. The Stamford Meeting, although it takes place in a locality where the highest patronage ought to be ensured for it, has long been remarkable for nothing but its extreme dulness. Possessed of an excellent course, and surrounded, within a moderate dis- tance, by several great stables, with a very small pecuniary out- lay, and an enterprising official, it ought to be recognised as the Goodwood of Lincolnshire. As it is now, it has few recommen- dations, and but for its connection with Nottingham it is very probable it would die a natural death. ThoBurghley Stakes is the first item in the card of Thurs- day, and it does not speak much for the handicappiag, when only ten out of thirty- three are found to accept the weights. Judging from Newmarket, last week, I should say the winner ought to be found in Neva or Tame Deer. The Collyweston Stakes is hardly likely to produce any active opposition to York ; and in the Stamford St Leger, Mr Parr's colours are equally formidable. The Gold Cup, on Friday, looks already bespoke for Sir Colin or Polestar, unless Melissa has got back to her form. The Ketton Stakes bids fair to resolve itself into a match between Turbit and Chevalier d' Industrie, and I should feel disposed to vote for the latter, taking it for granted, of course that Martinet and Gemma di Vergy will be reserved for their Goodwood engagements. The aboveare the only events in which the public are likely to take an interest.- Yours & c, OBSERVER. later, the Phantom blood furnished him with Serab, who was a winner in his hands both of the Newmarket Stakes and the Port. Nothing would, however, induce him to make a match with the horse, and he parted with him to Lord Darlington, for, it was said, 3,000 guineas, but he could never win anything except one Queen's Plate afterwards. As years went on, Hogarth, Banquet, Seraph, Suffolk Punch, and Glory kept up the game, and then his celebrated Pericles mare, Harriet, commenced throwing to five different sires that series of lucky foals, Plenipo, Revelry, Luminary, Mixbury, Discovery, and Voluptuary, to wit, who brought the " crimson and white stripes" perpetually to the fore. In 1833 Revelry won the Column and four other stakes, but still greater things were in store for her owner in 1834, when Plenipo, who had never run as a two- year- © ld, loomed on to the racing world, to the discomfiture of Gleneoe in the Riddlesworth, who " could never get rid of the chesnut bullock" over the Rowley Mile, and only ran third to him in a most hollow- won Derby. When the effects of his mysterious St Leger poisoning had gone off, Plenipotentiary appeared in his old winning form next year, for two races at Newmarket, and was backed at evens up to the eleventh hour for the Ascot Cup, for which his owner declared him in the Jockey Club Stand on the Wednesday not to start. The reason assigned was a fear that one of his legs would give way, but the public chose to fancy that a dread of his being beaten by Glencoe had a good deal to do with the declaration. The consternation of the Ring was so great that it received ample illustration iu the carica- tures of the day, in which the remarkable phizzes of Jem Bland and Crutch Robinson were not forgotten. It was said tV. at shortly before the Cup day an offer of 5,000 guineas from Mr Thornhill was refused for Pleuipo, who went to the stud ihe next spring. His subscription was 25 guineas, and Envoy and Era may be said to be the best of his stock, which also included Poison, the Oaks winner, and he died in 1854, Diploma was the first which came out in public, and Barbakin, Barbara, and Potentia all did Mr Batson some service. The latter won both the One Thousand and the Duke Michael ( in which Oakley ran fifth), but made a sad failure in the Oaks, a point on which her owner was unduly sore after the second victory. With her Mr. Bstson's racing prestige may be said to have declined, though he brought out Rowland, Beauclerc, Abd el Kader, Khadijab, & c, and won the Column with the last named in 1852. Latterly he seldom sent his horses anywhere except to the Heath, Epsom, and Ascot; and Sly, whose second master he was at the date of his death, always rode them when tho weight permitted. Mr Batson was among the earliest living members of the Jockey Club, which has thus lost three of its members by death within little more than six months. Horses marked * are in the Derby, t in the Oaks, J in the Leger. THE LATE GENERAL ANSON. The hopes which all true lovers of the Turf have cherished, that in due time General Anson would return from India and join his old associates in the Stewards' Stand, were dispelled for ever by the short sad announcement in the Indian telegraph of Satur- day last. This lamented officer was born in 1797, and would have completed his sixtieth year on the 13th of October next, though to judge from his look and carriage he was still quite in the prime of life. When a lad of eighteen he fought with the Scots Fusiliers at Waterloo, and at eight- and- twenty was gazetted as lieutenant- colonel, and placed upon half pay. As soon as he came of age he entered tha House, and sat there, without intermission, during a period of five- and- thirty years, occupying a high position iu the Ordnance Department, both under the Melbourne and Russell Administrations. Still it was in connection with the Turf, as Colonel Anson, a title which he exchanged for Major- General in 1851, that he will always be best remembered; and as a judge of a race horse, a clever bettor, and a manager of a racing stable, he has never been surpassed, uot even by Lord George Bentinck. It was not, however, until 1836 that his name appeared, and then only in a very quiet way, iu the racing lists. Before that date he had principally been known as a " first flight man" in the Anson Hunt, whose little meetiug once on a time, inaugurated the racing year, and brought out the best of our gentlemen riders. He was also a magnificent game shot, and about the year 1828 was a constant performer in that series of pigeon matches at the Red House, iu which LordKeanedy, Captain Ross, and " The Squire" bore such a brilliant part. It was in the June of that year that he laid the last- uamed 1,000 guineas to 800 guineas, and scored 244 birds at 260 double shots to his 237. The match lasted five days, and and at its close a salute of 21 " guns was fired in his honour Immediately afterwards he won a handicap sweepstakes of £ 10 each, by two birds, beating Viscount Anson, " The Squire," Captain Ross, aud five others. His Turf debut in 1836 was with Marchesina in the Second October, but it was not until the first of September of the ensuing year that he drew first blood at Birmingham with another Tramp filly, ridden by George Whitehouse, in a small 3 sovs stake ( heats), amounting, with its added money, to some £ 37. The same filly won one out of five heats, at Leicester* next year, but her owner had then begun in earnest with the Scotts, and Nickleby by Jerry, with Bill Scott up, won three out of his four races, and his own brother Nicholas followed partially in his footsteps the next year. Eight horses bore the " all white" in 1840, # f whom four - or five were winners, and Black Bess, by Camel, gave him his first good " throw in" of £ 900 for the Berkeley- square Stakes at Newmarket Craven, Lord George's Grey Milton, who was the favourite at evens, running seoond. This mare also did him good service at Goodwood in 1841, and placed £ 3,150 ts his credit in the Four Year Old Stakes, in which her half- brother Launcelot, as being the worst cripple of the four, broke down. The Duke of Wellington failed to fulfil the hopes they once had of him, but Attila then came out and carried every, thing before him. This colt was bred by Colonel Hancox out of a mare— Progress— who was bred in her turn by his valet, and at the time sho was sent te Colwick that horse was serving half- bred mares gratis for the groom's crown fee on Lord Chesterfield's estates. Progress died a few years after in foal with an own sister to Attila, arid the bloody- looking, white- faced hero of the 1842 Derby day died in 1846 from injuries he received by kicking on his voyage abroad. It was at the Goodweod meeting of that year that the Colonel committed, in direct opposition to the advice of both trainer aud jockey, it was said, almost his only racing error, as Attila, carrying 8lb extra, never forgot the severity of his race with Envoy and Seahorse, behind whom he finished over the Drawing Room Stakes course; aud his Doncaster fate was at once sealed. This latter meeting was one in which he always took a great interest, and he was uniformly successful there. Iu this very year Napier came off with flying colours in the Muni- cipal Stakes, worth £ 1,000, against the highly bred Aristides, and both beat and was beaten by Murat ( second to Aristides for the Ham) iu the Clearwell and Prendergast respectively. Armytage and Aristides ran a dead heat over Doncaster the next year, and as they again finished level at Liver- pool in the course of a month for the Grand Junction Stakes, the latter stake was divided, " The Colonel" receiving € 1,200 out of the £ 2,800 for his share. Attila seemed hope- lessly crippled, and when he faced Chatham at the T. M. M. Post in the spring the betting was almost solely on the point which would break down first. In 1844- 45 the Velocipede blood, to which he always clung, did him good service with Joe Lovell in the Great Yorkshire, and the Four Year Old Stakes at Good- wood, Attila, carrying 9st 4! b, after a year's very careful nursing, ran a good second at 201b for his year to the Bishop of Romford's Cob in the Hunt Plate at Ascot, but broke down in the Cup; and Princess, who was bred by Earl Jersey, failed after her Oaks victory to get nearer than third for the St Leger. Iago ( the produce of Don John, and a favourite old Selim mare, Scandal, who was rising two- and- twenty when she foaled him), atoned, in 1846, for his narrow misses of the Great Yorkshire and St Leger by winning 10 out of his 15 races, and turning the tables most completely on behalf of the " Pigburn family," upon Sir Tatton Sykes in the Duke Michael; but his white bandaged legs prematurely disappeared from the fray iu the ensuing First Spring. Bingham and Blaze succeeded, but iu 1848- 49, although The Colonel's lot numbered thirteen, few of them, except Backbiter and Corsican, showed any form. With the former of these two, who was enrolled, by Flatman's as^ sistance, the winner of the Great Metropolitan in 1850, the Velocipede line of winners ceased, and henceforth " The Colonel" was faithful to Orlando, whose daughter. Bay Rosalind, was the first to reward him ia the Chesterfield, at New- market, and Bentinek Memorial at Goodwood. Latterly he had very few horses at Whitehall, and trained with Fisher at Newmarket, the Marquis of Westminster being his confederate. Scythian, Appollonius, Prince Arthur, and King Pepin were his last, which he disposed of in a lot to Mr Howard on his depar- ture for India, thus bearing out the infallible rula, that when- ever a stud, from caprice or other causes, is given up, it has always one unknown good horse in it, which would have com- pensated for many a reverse. General Anson never won a Two Thousand, but came so near it as to breed Hernandez, the winner of it in 1851, whom he sold as a yearling at Tattersall's for 500 guineas. This wasthetop price, andyet seven out of the eight on that day averaged 380 guineas, a figure which was thought quite out of the common in those more quiet times, before a Yellow Jack or a Greenfinch had been marched up to the well- known rostrum. The last Meeting the General atteUded in England was Don- caster in 1853, and when he had seen West Australian and Frank Butler, to whom he had been first master for ten seasons, earn their last victory together for the great stable in which he had long been the " guiding hand," he set forth at once on that fatal journey to the East from which he was never to return. He went out as Commander- in- Chief at Bengal only; but when Sir William Gomm's term was over, he became Commander- in- Chief of the whole Indian army, and was gazetted te the colonelcy of the 55th. On the 12th of May he marched from Urnbaila for Delhi, but owing to some unavoidable delay iu getting the siege train ready, he had only reached Kurnaul with the advanced guard, and died there of cholera on the 27th, just as all his fine energy and well remembered military science were about to have their full scope at last. Little did the racing world think, as it wended its jovial way to the Derby that very morning, that such a well- remembered actor on that scene was laid on his death- bed! The following graceful tribute to the memory of the subject of the above brief memoir is from the peu of " Argus," in the Post:— India has lost a brave and energetic commander- in- chief, and England an honourable and gallant sportsman, in General Anson. From an early age— from the time, indeed, when a cornet in the Blues— he took an interest in the Turf, and many years afterwards he joined Scott's stable, in which he won the Derby with Attila, and the Oaks with Princess, the Metropo- litan and Goodwood Stakes with Backbiter, and many otker great races, as will be seen by the Calendar. Contemporaneous with Lord George Bentiuck, he aided that nobleman in his measures for the reform of the Turf; and was, perhaps, a finer judge of racing than his lordship. Aristocratic in ap- pearance, with fascinating manners, a cool and determined head, quick to conceive, and prompt to carry out any under- taking upon which he resolved, it was not surprising he should have acquired such a large circle of friends.. Try him as you might, he always " won his trial," as, with no other qualifica- tion than being an unerring shot, he became Clerk of the Ord- nance, and the tirst time he moved the estimates Joseph Hume was beaten. Again, the London and North Western Railway Company required a chairman, and, with no more knowledge, perhaps, of railway business thin how to pay his fare, he at once assumed the reins of office. The appointment was, of course, a good deal carped at; but he soon showed that the directors had made uo mistake in their choice of him, for, at the first annual meeting, he displayed such a mastery over the finan- cial details of the company as had never been previously exhi- bited; and such was his tact in answering questions of im- patient shareholders, and in reconciling contending interests, that his value was made apparent at once, albeit he was a racing man; and but for his laudable anxiety to make a better provi- sion for his family he would even now have been at the head of affairs in Eustou- square. Quitting England after he had witnessed West Australian win the St Leger, he carried and maintained with him his popularity in the East, where he fell a victim to his stern sense of duty, before an opportunity was given him of showing the stuff that was in him. And had he been permitted to survive, the relatives of the mutineers o£ Delhi would have had reason— or Argus is no prophet— to recol- lect the name of George Anson. His stud, it will be recollected, he disposed of to Mr Howard, and upon its break- up he ad- dressed a letter to John Scott, expressive of his unbounded con- fidence in him as a. trainer, and bis hope that upon his return to this country he should again find himself in his stable. Alas,' and he not only had the misfortune to lose the race ' "" " " " when victory appeared to be within his grasp, but his horse likewise, in consequence of the latter ( who really held out flattering hopes for the future) breaking his off fore pastern joint during the race. The accident happened at the last turn, but the horse struggled on upon three legs as far as the distance, when he nearly fell, and Aldcroft jumped off his back. The horse was removed to his stable iu a van, and sub- sequently placed in slings, when the fracture was set by a veterinary surgeon, but for racing purposes the poor beast is of course utterly useless. Iu addition to other engagements, the Clarissa colt is in the Derby and St Leger, and ina Match for 1,000 Sovs a side, h ft, with the Duke of Bedford's Memorial, in the Houghton Meeting this year. The Selling Stakes not having filled, a small Handicap, won by Massacre, was substituted, with which the first day's racing terminated. The Cup betting on the Course, though anything but brisk, exhibited twe or three changes. Bashi Bazouk was backed at 9 to 2, aud had the call of Rogerthorpe, who was pronounced by the " touts" to go " short and stumpy." Grey Pyrrhus advanced to 7 to 1 ( takers), 100 to 6 was taken repeatedly about the Aintree nag Sir Humphrey, and there was some nibbling on the quiet about Mongrel at 25 and 20 to 1. S? me money was laid out at evens and 5 to 4 on the following lot against the field:— Bashi Bazouk, Rogerthorpe, Grey Pyrrhus. and Newton le Willows. Anton was in demand for the Goodwood Cup, and 10 to 1 was taken about Fisherman for the same event. At the Subscription Room iw the evening the muster scarcely reached a score; and specu- lation was so completely at a standstill that we could scarcely reconcile the belief of its being the eve of the Oup race. The morning of Thursday was extremely wet, but after breakfast time the rain ceased, and the clouds disappearing, the" Cup Da. v" turned out as fine as could be desired. There was a large attendance on the course, and the Grand Stand and enclosure were extensively patronised, notwithstanding the meagre appearance of the card, which held out prospects of only a moderate afternoon's sport. A dead heat for t he opening event, however, made amends for a walk over for the Queen's Plate, and some interest was eventually infused into the Cup by the exciting character of the final struggle. Before the second race. aiaost important question was submitted to the liverpool july meeting. Stewards: Hon Adsairal Rous, the Duke of Beaufort, and the Earl of Wilton. Lessee and Clerk of the Course: MrE. W. Topham. Judge: Mr Clark. Starter: Mr Hibburd. Clerk of the Scales: Mr Horsley. The Liverpool July Meeting, after evincing symptoms of de- cline for several seasons past, appears to have reached its worst, and if we mistake not a new era in its existence may be dated from the present anniversary. Year after year we have had to record the failure of the richer Produce Stakes and the substi- tution of races of a more popular character, with handsome additions by the lessee, who, in his endeavour to maintain the prestige of the meeting by increasing its attractions, is about to make further changes in the programme which cannot fail to ensure the desired result. The Lancashire Oaks— invariably a failure— will hereafter be replaced by a handicap, and in 1859 the Lancashire Produce Stakes for two year olds will be con- signed to the tomb of the Capulets. In the meantime, with the hope of strengthening the programme for next year, Mr Topham placed the handsome sum of £ 200 at the disposal of the Stewards to be devoted to any stake they might think best on the last day. As far as the lessee is concerned, therefore, neither the public nor owners of horses can complain of inadequate attraction at Aintree, and Mr Topham's liberality is the more to be com- mended from the fact that his receipts have been considerably lessened since the abolition of the selling races, upon the strength of the immense resources derivable from which the late " lord of the soil" stipulated for an increase of £ 200 a year in the rent before granting a renewal of the lease. No meeting for a long time enjoyed greater popularity than this, and with such flattering prospects in view let us hope tbat a return to its hal- cyon days is not far distant, even if attended by the abolition of some of the minor mushroom affairs by which the season is now so frightfully overrun. This latter opinion we are happy to state is coincided in by many of the leading supporters of the Turf, so that a cure of the evil must be effected sooner or later, however disagreeable to the promoters of " speculations" elstv where. From the result of past experience added to the near approach of " glorious Goodwood," for which so many horses are now- a- days reserved, our anticipations of the present anniversary, we must confess, W6re somewhat of a gloomy nature; but on reaching Liverpool on Tuesday evening similar fears were not indulged in by those more or less connected with the meeting. A greater number of horses was reported to have arrived at Aintree than had been known for many years past at the July gathering, and the town was said to be full of strangers, but few of the latter put in appearance at the Subscription Room in the evening, and not a bet worth recording came to our knowledge. The Cup was al- most a dead letter, everybody, except those in the secret, appear- ing! shy of investing their capital— a circumstance not to be wondered at, considering the disgraceful manner in which cer- tain animals have been " milked" for it. Of the original fa- vourites for the Cup, Lima and Relapse were struck out in the course of Tuesday, the latter, so goes the report, having been tried and " found wanting," whilst Prizefighter, instead of accompa- nying Newton- le- Willows across the " herring pond," remained at his training quarters at the Curragh, to the chagrin of those who pinned their faith upon the " cocktail" as the champion of tho Irish division. The excuse made for Lima was that she had gone amiss, the lie to which, however, was given by the arrival of the mare fit and well at Aintree on the following morning in cha rge of Saunders, her trainer, upon whom the announcement that she had been struck out the dav before fell like a thunder- clap, as he left home with the confident expectation of taking the Cup back to Hednesford with him! The meeting was ushered in by most beautiful weather on Wednesday, which drew the largest attendance that has beeu seen at Aintree on the opening day in July for many years past. The receipts at the Grand Stand were the best since 1849. although at the same time there was a lamentable fail in B- off in the quality of the visitors, the aristocratic portion of which was almost limited to the distinguished circle from Knowsley, including the Earl of Derby, the Marquis of Bath, Earl of Eglinton,' Earl of Glasgow, Earl of Euston, Lord Eufleld, Lord Stanley, Lord Grey de Wilton, Lord II. Thynne, the Hon. Admi- ral Rous, General Peel, Captain Napier Sturt, Mr C, P. Leslie, Mr G. Payne, Mr H. Fitzroy. and Mr G. Fitzroy. We also hoticed the Earl of Lincoln, Sir Robert Peel, Sir Lvdstou New- man, Sir G. ArmytRge, Cap Beresford, Capt Little, Capt F. Duff, Captain Crawley, Captain Jauncey, Captain Goff, Capt ain White, Mr Driukald, Mr Redfern, Mr R. Reade, Mr Jones, Mr Oliver, & c, & c. The lamented death of General Anson, who was a liberal supporter of Liverpool Races, added to a marriage in high life on the Thursday, caused the absence of many distin- guished fashionables who invariably patronise this meeting. Under these circumstances the ranks of the backers of horses were considerably lessened, and speculation in consequence was uupreoedentedly flat. Premising that the ground was well covered with herbage, and by no means so hard as trainers from the south expected to find it, a few remarks will suffice to exhibit the moderate character of the afternoon's sport. Last year Fisherman inaugurated the proceedings by walking over for the Croxteth Stakes ; at the Spring Meeting this year he won the Trial; and repeated the dose to- dav by defeating Lord Nelson for the Croxteth without the slightest effort, having apparently got back to his oldformagain. Bullock having weighed for Wardermarske without orders, the latter's number was put up, but subsequently removed before the betting commenced. Seven two year olds went to the post for the Mersey Stakes, and in face of the high public pretensions of Polly Peachum. who, as well as York, had to carry 3lb extra. Proud Preston Peg and Sunbeam, a couple of " dark" fillies from John Osborne's and Prince s stables were strongly fancied. Each party expressed confidence in beating Polly, and the result confirmed the cor- rectness of their judgment— a fine race with tha three resulting in the success of Mr Merry's strapping filly ( who stands up- wards of 16 hands) by a head, Proud Preston Peg having a similar trifling advantage over the favourite. The excitement caused by the closeness of the struggle was considerably increased bv the occurrence of an accident to Polly Peaahum immediately after passing the post, owing to the other two, who were right and left of her, closing together, whereby Polly, from being lifted completely off her legs, fell. It was first feared that Dales's right leg was broken, owing to its being under the mare when she fell, but his injuries fortunately were not so serious. Four opponents to Blink Bonny were at first telegraphed for the Lancashire Oaks, but Sister to Jesuit's number was afterwards taken down, and as for the Croxteth, Mr Topham consented to give the added money, although the conditions stipulated for five starters to secure it. High odds were bet ted on the winner of the Derby and Oaks, who made a dreadful example of the wretched lot that ventured to dispute her claim to be enrolled the victress of the Northern as well as the Southern Oaks. She looked rather " jolly" in condition, and was so very fresh that Charlton had no little difficulty iu maintaining his seat when the mare was led out of the enclosure into the course. After the race, 2 to 1 was the highest offer against her for the " Sellinger." Another small field went to the post for the Bentinck Testimonial, and Saunterer— with odds on him— won in such hollow style as to satisfy even his most prejudiced opponents that but for the indisposition which upset him prior to the Derby, the " Blue Riband " might have gone to Middle- ham instead of Malton ; and unluckily for the interest of the race, the " black ' un" is not in the St Leger. The Testimonial consists of a magnificent silver goblet, highly embellished with the representation of a boar hunt, and is from the well- known establishment of Mr Whistler in the Strand, upon whom the handsome trophy reflects the highest possible credit both for workmanship and design. It is of a more useful character than the generality of racing prizes now- a- days, and its capability of holding a dozen of champagne was satisfactorily tested immediately after the race. Sunbeam's second essay in the Nursery Plate did not prove so successful as her debut, having this time to play second fiddle ta a light weight in Chas. Peck's stable, which, receivinglGlb from the favourite, con- ducted the performance greatly to the satisfaction of the Ring, and enabled the fielders to recover most of their previous losses, The Nursery was followed by a Match for £ 300 a side between Lord Derbv and Lord Glasgow, which caused some spirited betting, the Clarissa colt, though untried or even previously stripped, being selected by the " talents " from his superior looks and style of going. As is invariably the case, however, when Lord Glasgow's horses are the favourites in matches, his lordship's bad luck stuck to him on this occasion, such an idea has not been suffered to be realised, and India holds the remains of a s gallant a soldier, an accomplished gen-: tleman, and thorough sportsman as ever graced the ranks of the asistocracy of England," THE LATE MR STANLAKE BATSON. This well- known sportsman, who was the oldest living owner of race horses, now that Mr Kirby has retired from the scene, died at his residence at Horseheath last Saturday week, in his 84th year. In early life he was well- known as Captain Batson, of the " Prince's Own," and his maiden racing essay was with Shuffleboard, by Escape, in 1800, for the 100 Guinea Plate, which was given to be run for by hunters at Ascot. In those days " the Prince," Grafton, Queensb9rry, Grosvenor, Clermont, Derby, Clarendon, Egremont, Sackville, Bunbury, Lade, Vane, Standlsh, Ladbroke, and Panton, were well- known names on its lists, aud the meeting lasted five days. The young officer's Velvet Horn, however, held its own even among the studs of such dangersus rivals, and, after its double success there in 1801, joined the Prince's lot. Between the years 1803- 21 Mr Batson raced on in a very quiet way, never keeping more than five horses, and seldom backing them to any extent S but still he contrived to have quite his share ofsmall stakes and Queen's Plates, with Gladiator, Charmer, Cecilia, Knavery, Handicap, Maid of Orleans, Pranks, Illumination, Stainbo- rough, Dorus, Humph, and Hedley. The latter, an own brother to Golumpus, was an especial favourite ; and Idle Boy, Mystic, Luss, and Freak all repaid bis confidence in him as a sire. In 1821 he had his first throw- in for a great stake, with Roscicrucian, by Sorcerer, for the Seventh Riddlesworth, although 15 to 1 was laid against him at starting. Three years Stewards respecting the weight which Vandermulin ought to carry therein. Admiral Rous being the only steward present, Lord Derby, as the donor of the prize, was requested to appoint two others arbitrators to act for the Duke of Beaufort and the Earl of Wilton, but not having the power to do so, and declining himself to interfere, the Admiral very properly dealt with the case single- handed, and drew up the following elaborate decision, the justness of which must be admitted by every one at all conversant with the subject :— " The question is, whether Vandermulin, a maiden horse, which rau second for the Port Stakes of £ 100 each, h ft, and received back his stake— alias £ 100— should be allowed 14lb in the Derby Plate, the conditions of which specify such au allowance to maiden horses who have never received £ 50 as second horse. " The claim is founded on the wording of the Port Stakes. If, for instance, as in the Gratwick Rnd Ham Stakes at Goodwood, of £ 100 each, h ft, it had been expressed that the second horse should receive £ 100 out of the stakes, this claim for maiden allowance would never have been contemplated. The in- tention of the article to debar maiden horses which have never won £ 50, is to exclude horses which have beeu second for races of importance, and to make a distinction between them and the ordinary form of maiden horses. When money is staked and lost, whatever portion may be paid from the stakes to the second horse is a bonus, and therefore not to be put on the same footing as a prize or money won ; the second horse in the Derby receives £ 100, but no man as yet has had the hardi- hood to declare that he only receives £ 50 because the remaining £ 50 was his stake. In calculating the amount of winnings the stake is deducted, but that rule has no application to losing horses— therefore not to the case in dispute. " It is a simple question— Has Vandermulin received £ 50 as second horse? Yes; twice £ 50. Claim not allowed. ( Signed) " H. J. Rous." Flatman was engaged to ride " Vander," and it was stated that forfeits amounting to upwards of £ 250 would have been paid if the horse had started, but as the decision was unfavourable to the claim of the 141b allowance these arrangements were not carried out. Three starters were originally telegraphed, viz, Saunterer, York, and the Ellerdale's dam filly, but on its being discovered that the declaration of overweight for the latter was not made in time, her stable companion Terrific was substituted. The latter, however, did not get to the post in time to start, aM reduced to a match between Saunterer and York, the race was a mere canter for the former. The Cup stood next, set for a quarter past three o'clock, aud as it ought to do, brought toge- ther the largest field of the meeting. From the complaints of the bookmakers, the betting must have been wretchedly bad, although a little spirit was instilled therein at the last by the support awarded to Grey Pyrrhus and Rogerthorpe, who left off almost equal favourites at 3 to 1 each, Mr Drinkald's horse, if anything, having the call of the " broken backed one." New- ton le Willows, Moose, and Mougrel were very firm, and to- wards the close some money was invested on Queen Bess at outside prices. Bashi Bazouk was friendless. Considerable fault was found with the handicap when first published, and the race was set down as a gift to Rogerthorpe, but Mr Topham has come off with flying colours, inasmuch as that it produced one of the finest contests ever seen, and resulted in the overthrow of both the great " pots." The grey cut up badly, whilst Rogerthorpe had to succumb to two of theShighest weighted three yearoldsin the race— Bashi Bazouk and Mongrel— the latter of whom ran an uncommon good horse, considering the running that he made and the weight he gave to the winner, who happens to be the property of a Liverpool gentleman. With the line through Aleppo, Captain White reckoned upon beating Rogerthorpe with Bloose, but the latter showed temper immediately after starting, and never at- tempted to run up to the form he exhibited iu his trial. From the fact of the winner having been one of the first horses backed for it, nearly all the bookmakers lose upon the race. The weighing- in of Bashi Bazouk's jockey led to a disgraceful scene at the scales solely through the very— to use the mildest term— unsatisfactory manner in which the weigher performed his duty. The instant Withington was seated in the scale John Osborne requested the 2ib to be put in, but instead of doing so, Mr Horsley replied in a very insulting manner that the boy was the same weight that he went out with, and actually permitted Withington to leave his seat without complying with John Osborne's demand. A complaint was instantly made to Admiral Rous upon the subject, who, after hearing the evidence of certain unbiassed lookers- on, expressed his determination to hold an official investigation of the whole matter. Subsequently Withington was ordered to weigh with the same things in which lie rode, when he failed to draw the 21b, and having ex- pressed his willingness, when examined by the Steward, to make oath that although he had left the weighing room in the interim he had not changed his materiel, the Admiral cautioned him to be more careful in future, and, turning to Mr Horsley, ex- plained to him that it was his boundea duty as clerk of the scales to weigh any jockey at the request of a gentleman owning a horse in the race, or his trainer, and if an extra weight was re- quested to be put into the scales, the official had not the least right to refuse to do so. " In this case," continued the Ad- miral, " I understand the boy was actually in the scale, and I can only tell you, sir, that if you fail to comply with any such a request as that made in the present instance, you are incompetent to discharge the duty belonging to your office. I am glad that the matter is settled so satisfactorily. I feared it would be otherwise, and I again tell you you are bound to weigh the jockey as asked provided he had not previously left thp weighing- room." We refrain from saying more upon the subject, but as this is not the first occa- sion we have had to complain of Mr Horsley's incompetency, both as a weigher and a judge, Mr Topham will do well to study the interests of his meeting by engaging a more efficient servant hereafter. In conclusion, Mr Jones may congratulate himself that the scales on this occasion were not under Mr Clark's or Mr Manning's charge. The remainder of the racing offered little opportunity for comment. The T. Y. C. Handicap was carried off by Stormsail, and Lord Glasgow met with another slice of ill luck in losing a second 300 sovs Match, through the breaking down of the three year old Clarissa colt, a half brother to the young one he had the misfortune to lose yesterday. Before starting it looked a very doubtful point which of the two, his Lordship's colt or Mohawk, would be the first to give way. Fisherman having walked over for theGuineas, the dead heat for the Selling Race was run off, and thus ended the dullest and most uninteresting Liverpool Cup day within our recollection. Previous to the great race, Anton was backed for a considerable amount for tha Goodwood Cup at 6 to 1 and 11 to 2, but Rogei- thorpe's defeat had rather a depressing influence upon him, and 6 to 1 was offered currently on the field at the close. Florin was backed at 8 to 1, Gemma di Vergyat9tol, audagooddealofmoney was invested upon Fisherman at 10, 9, and 8 to 1; 10 to 1 would have been taken about Arsenal. Gunboat was backed at 100 to 6 for the Stakes, and 1,000 to 50 was taken twice about Drumour for the Leger. Tho fineness of the weather, added to the interest cen- tered in the race for the Leger, for which Blink Bonny was expected to meet Adamas at a difference of 9lb in the weights at which they rau in the Derby, drew a remarkably good atten- dance for the last day. Amongst the visitors was Prince Napo- leon and suite, who witnessed the racing from the Stewards' Stand, and appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. To accommodate the Londoners and others going south, the first race was set for half- past one o'clock, at which hour the sports commenced with the Stanley Stakes, wherein Terri- fic turned the tables upon Polly Peachum, who, besides carrying 5lb extra, was evidently none the better for her fall on Wednesday. A small handicap on the T. Y. C. followed, for which the five entered went to the post. Admiral Harcourt's filly by Touchstone out of Ellerdale's dam, a stable companion of the winner of the previous race, was a " pot," but it was upset by an importation from the Emerald Isle rejoicing in the name of Sans Culotte— an amusing puzzler for the Riug, the members of which discovered to their cost that although minus his breeches the horse had not lost the use of his legs! The Licensed Victuallers' Handicap brought out nine runners, including Saunterer, with 7st 121b ( 101b ex) on his back ; but even this " steadier" proved no stopper to him, for after making nearly all the running he won without an effort— the " third time, of asking" at this meeting. Three starters were telegraphed for the Lan- cashire Produce Stakes, namely Star of the East, Sister to Ellington, and the Ellerdale's dam filly, but as the con- ditions of the race stipulated only " one at the post," the latter was subsequently withdrawn. A little delay arose in oonse- quence of the uncertainty that existed respecting Sister to El- lington's weight, and after referring to the original conditions ana entry, it was decided by Admiral Rous ( the only steward present) that though entitled to an allowance of 3lb as a maiden at the time of entry, the fact of Ellerdale, her dam, having sub- sequently bred a winner of the Derby, she was liable to the 51b penalty for that honourable connection, thus making her weight 8st 61b. Thebettingopenedat 6to4onStaroftheEast, butquickly chaneedin favour of th3mare, who ran in trouble throughout, and was beaten easily. Next followed the Liverpool St Leger; out of the six- and- twenty nominations only five went to the post, Blink Bonny having been struck out at a quarter before two. Though notoriously out of condition, and pronounced by the " talents" to have a " leg," slight odds were betted on Adamas, who, appa- rently beaten, aud unable to go the pace even in the first half mile, proved himself one of thegamest horses that ever was crossed by winning easily in the end; albeit from the moderate character of his opponents and the apparent difficulty with which the victory was accomplished, the performance did not improve him in tho St Leger betting— just before the race 20 to 1 was taken to £ 150, A Selling Stakes brought the meeting to a close; and but for the laches in the weighing department already referred to, we might justly compliment the several officials upon the satis- factory discharge of their respective duties.

The running was made by Polly Peachum, attended by Proud Preston Pegg on the right and Sumbeam on the left, Terrific and York lying together at their quarters, and the other two a couple of lengths off. After passing the distance York and Terrific were in trouble, and the issue was then left to the three leaders, who closed at the Stand and ran a splendid race home, Sunbeam, who got up in the last stride, winning by a head, and Proud Preston Pegg, who deprived the favourite of the lead at the lower end of the inclosure, finishing a short head in advance of Polly, two lengths from whom was Terrific. The others were beaten several lengths. Immediately after passing the post; Sunbeam and Proud Preston Peg hung towards each other, and closing upon Polly Peachum, the latter was thrown down. Dales's right foot was crushed a little, but he was not otherwise injured.

Passing All's Well before reaching the turn, she headed Augury in the straight, and galloping on by herself won hard held by two lengths, Augury beating Lady Albert by four lengths for the second money. All's Well was stopped inside the distance and did not pass the post.

The start was de- layed some time, owing to the fractiousness of Spread Eagle, Physician, and Collodion. When the flag fell, Collodioa ( wide on the right) made play with Sunbeam. Massacre, the Touch- stone filly and Conductor in close attendance, the Vanilla filly and Physioan, who lost start, bringing up the rear. There was no material change until passing the distance, where Collodion, dropped off, and the favourite took a slight lead of Massacre and the Touchstone filly, which she held until opposite the Stand, when Conductor ( who changed sides within the distance) came out next the rails, and won a good race by three- quarters of a length, Massacre, who was beaten a neck by Sunbeam, finishing a head in advance of Admiral Harcourt's filly. Spread Eagle was a bad fifth, and the others tailed off. MATCH, 300, h ft; 8st 71b each; three quarters of a mile. * Lord Derby's beWhitewall. by Joel ovell. 2yrs, 8st71b.

They trotted for the first thirty yards, when White- wall jumped away with a lead of a couple of lengths, which he held to the last turn, in rounding which the favourite struck his off fore pastern so hard that he nearly fell. Aldcroft immediately recovered him however, and the horse was so full of go that he instantly closed with White wall, and ran at his quarters— literally on three legs— to the distance, when he staggered, and Aldcroft had considerable difficulty to keep him on his legs. The race of course was then over, and Whitewall cantered in by himself. A HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 30 added; T. Y. C.; 6 subs. * J Mr G. Holmes's ch c Massacre, by Mildew, 2 yrs, ,, 6st61b.

After a couple of failures, in which Collodion broke away aud ran some distance, Chester jumped off with the lead, which he held until half way up the distance, when the favourite showed in front and ap peared to be winning easily, but was caught on the post, by Chester, and the judge, unable ta separate them, awarded a dead heat; a bad third.— Deciding heat: 3 to 1 on Repute, who won easily by a length, and was sold for 58 guineas to Mr Whitehouse.

After several failures ( for causing which Snowden was subse- quently reprimanded and fined by the steward), Sir Humphrey jumped off with the lead, but before reaching the distance was passed bj Gilliver, who cut out the work at a good pace, followed past the Stand by Queen Bess, Sir Humphrey, and Maid of Der- went, Janet and Pantomime lying next, at the head of the ruck, iu the middle of which was Grey Pyrrhus, whilst, several lengths in the rear, were Moose and Hamlet, both apparently unable to go the pace. After rounding the top turn, Sir Humphrey dis- appeared from the front, and half way down the far side Gilliver also gave up the ghost, leaving Mongrel, who had gra- dually crept up next the rails, with the lead, Queen Bess second, and Maid of Derweut third. At the canal bridge the latter was beaten, and Janet, Pantomime, Chicken, Roger- thorpe, and Bashi Bazouk passed her in the order named, the favourite having improved his position after leaviug the mile post; the others, headed by Grey Pyrrhus and Newton le Wil- lows, being separated by a clear interval from the middle divi- sion. There was no farther change of any importance until entering the straight, when Chicken was passed by Rogerthorpe aud Bashi Bazouk, who gave Pantomime the go- by a quarter of a mile from home, and at the distance headed Janet. A few strides further Queen Bess was in trouble, and Bashi Bazouk in- stantly took his place at Mongrel's side, having the Danebury horse at his quarters on the whip band, and thus they ran almost to the Stand, when Bashi Bazouk challenged the " cock- tail," and, after a slashing set- to, won by half a length, Roger- thorpe finishing three quarters of a length from Mongrel, a couple of lengths in advance of Newton le Willows, who passed a lot of the beaten horses in the last quarter ef a mile, and beat Janet for fourth place by a length ; Chicken was fifth, three lengths from Dawson's mare; and, clear of him came Queen Bess, Grey Pyrrhus, Pantomime, and Hamlet in a body ; Capt White's two and Maid of Derwent were tailed off au immense distance, Gilliver being last of everything.

Judge : Mr Bloss. TUESDAY, JULY 14.— These races, first held on the occasion ef the celebration of Her Majesty's accession to the throne, were merely looked upou as an additional feature in the day's programme ; but the success that attended the speculation in- duced its projectors to persevere, and the result of their labours the following year was of such a character as to encourage them in their hopes of permanently establishing a race meeting at Cambridge. Unfortunately, however, strong opposition was brought to bear against the races, and after a four or five years' struggle the meeting was abandoned. Last year a feeble attempt was made to resuscitate it, and though it did not meet with much support, the promoters, nothing daunted, raised a suffi- cient sum to get up a tolerable day's sport on Tuesday last. An immense concourse of spectators was attracted to Midsummer Common, where a suitable ground was formed, but, owing to the late dry weather, it was hard and rough in places, at the same time being awkward and bad. The card contained four races, in heats, which took from twelve o'clock to six to get through. The TRADESMEN'S PLATE, of 14 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each; 4 subs.

[ FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] SUNDAY, JULY 5.— The advance made by this meeting, last year, was more than could have been expected under the adverse circumstances in which tli « new committee found matters upon taking office, and again this season we perceive such a move in the right direction that we have little doubt of being able to report St Omer next year as one of the first of the northern " gatherings " of France, A good handicap " on the fiat" is talked of, open to horses of all countries, and we should suggest that the steeple chase be made into a handicap also, inasmuch as its present complicated conditions express rather an illiberal notion, which we are sure is not the intention of the management. The day's proceedings commenced with a Hurdle Race, and M Fasquel's success was never in doubt, as Miss Gladiator had her opponents safe from end to end, and beat her old stable com- panion Trembleur, and another of the dear purchases of the De la Motte confederacy, Eulogist, iu the commonest of canters. The flat race was carried off easily in three heats, by Agricole, and Railway, another of M. Fasquel's breeding and breaking, won the steeple chase after an exciting race with Noir Animal and Franc Pieard. The old horse turned rusty at the last fence, or probably he would have won. Beautiful weather favoured the sports, and the famous banquet of last season was repeated with increased eclat.

The time for closing the Biggar St Leger has been extended to the lst of August, at the request of numerous subscribers and others, the former notice being considered too short to enable many parties to prepare for entry in accordance with the rules. About a hundred entries have already been secured, principally Scotch, so that there is every prospect of the meeting's success, and of its continuing, as hitherto, to afford much higher prizes for puppies, compared with the entry money, than any other meeting in the coursing world. We refer to the advertisement iu our present first page, and to the notice thereof contained in our paper a fortnight ago, with the further remark that as no. minations are unlimited in number, and guarded while possible, clubs and districts may thus combine their entries under one name, and in this way an entry ef, say four or eight from each of ten of the principal clubs or districts in England and Ireland, might be brought in competition with those of Scotland, and much interest and spirit created. The gentlemen in charge of this Meeting, we know, are resolved to spare no pains or trouble in its promotion, and as they are well known supporters of public coursing, not merely in Scotland, but in the sister king- doms, we hope to see their invitation liberally responded to. GREYHOUND PRODUCE. On the 17th ult, at the Bell Hotel, Worcester, Mr Webb's red bitch Croxteth ( formerly Lord Sefton's Saucy One), eight pups to King Lear, four dogs and four bitches, all reds or dark fawns, with dark muzzles, and are very similar, excepting that two of the bitches have a little white on their necks. On the llth inst, MrT. Smith's ( of Ulverston) black and white bitch Hestham, seven pups to Weapon, three dogs and four bitches, namely, one black and white dog, one blue and white dog, one dark fawn dog, one black bitch, two black and white bitches, one blue bitch. On the 12th inst, at Antrim, Ireland,* Dr Nixon's Lady Erne, by Rupert II. out of Vanish, five puppies, three dogs aud two bitches, fawn and fawn aud white, by Mr Cramsie's Wild Day- rell ( by Lightfoot out of Jenny Lind), imperial parliament, HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— INDIA.— Lord ELLENBOROUGH again called the attention of the house to the alarming condition of our empire in India and complained of the small amount of official infor- rnation that had been afforded on a subject of such paramount importance. He, indeed, congratulated the Government on the judicious appointment they had made in selecting Sir Colin Campbell to succeed the late General Anson as Commander- in- iT- vf- ln , Iu order, however, to give full effect to the abilities of isir Oolm Campbell two things were necessary— lst, that he should be completely emancipated from the thraldom of politicals; and, secondly, that he should carry with him the whole weight and authority of the Governor- General. He thought also the temporary appointment of Sir Patrick Grant a very good one. He was not disappointed at not hearing of the cap- ture ot Delhi by the present mail, for he thought it could hardly have fallen within the time that had elapsed since the last ad- vices. The maiu thing, however, for consideration was so to take measures as to havo a really efficient force in the field by the 1st of November, before which time our reinforcements could hardly reach India. The least force which we ought to have was eight or ten regiments of infantry, six regiments of cavalry, and 12 batteries of artillery, for which last horses ought to be sent from Europe, and gun carriages ordered in India. With this force, which he would make up by diverting the regi- ments now destined for China, the existing rebellion might be stamped out; but their lordships might rely upon it chat it could only be extinguished by prompt and vigorous means, and that any temporising measures would only entail on us a succes- sion of bloody and doubtful campaigns, and perhaps destroy our Indian empire altogether. He concluded by asking for further official information connected with the Indian mutinies.— Lord GRANVILLE replied that the Government were only at present in possession of the telegraphic message which had been already made public. Further information might be expected that evening or in the course of the next day, the substance of. which would, of course, be published. With regard to the whole ques- tion, he could assure Lord Ellenborough that the Government were not at all inclined to treat the matter lightly, and though he could not agree with him when he talked of calamity and dis- grace, and though he declined to follow him into the realms of prophecy, Lord Ellenborough might rest assured that the Government were prepared to act with the greatest vigour in this emergency.— Lord MELVILLE, in an impressive speech called the attention of the house to the bad discipline which had existed for years past in the Bengal army as distinguished from those of the other presidencies, and supported his assertion by examples derived from his Indian experiences.— A few remarks from Lord ALBEMARLE concluded the discussion. THE OBSCENE PUBLICATIONS PREVENTION BILL was read a third time aud passed, after considerable discussion, in which Lords Campbell, Shaftesbury, Lyndhurst, and Wens- leydale took part. TUESDAY.— INDIA.— Earl GRANVILLE laid upon the table the correspondence which had taken place between the direc- tors of the East India Company and the Board of Control, on the subject of the recent occurrences in India. Several bills on the table were advanced a stage, and their lordships adjourned until Thursday. THURSDAY.— Several bills were forwarded a stage, but nothing calling for a report took place. FRIDAY.— THE SLAVE TRADE— Lord BEOUGHAM moved an address setting forth that the proposed measure of importing free negroes from the African Coast to the French Colonies was calculated to perpetuate the internal slavery of that country, and praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to adopt such measures as would avert such a calamity.— The Earl of CLARENDON concurred in the motion, but assured the house that the Government had privately communicated with the French Government, and they had assured them that they would take every precaution to prevent the free emigration of negroes degenerating into the slave trade.— After some remarks from the Earl of MAXMESBUEY, the Earl of HAREOWBY, and Lord BROUGHAM, the motion was agreed to. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the eight statutes for the consolidation of the criminal laws of England and Ire- land passed through committee.— The other bills on the paper were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. TROTTING. The match between Mr Morrison's horse and Mr Robertson's mare, for £ 100 a side, came off, over five miles of a turnpike road in the Barrhead district, on Friday, the 10th inst, and terminated in favour of the mare by about 700 yards. At the start, betting, which had been at evens, changed to slight odds on the mare, the confidence of her supporters being fully borne out by the manner in which she won. An immense as- semblage of sporting gentlemen were in attendance, the road for a considetable distance from the winning post being lined with pedestrians aud mounted spectators, who, on the whole, were rather disappointed in not witnessing such a well- contested finish as had been generally anticipated. The wisner was very steadily ridden by Mr Cowan, who trained her. The horse was piloted by Mr M'Robbie. Time not ascertained. aquatics. PRINCE OF WALES CLUB CHALLENGE PLATE.

The fineness of the weather and the celebrity of the § layers attracted an exceedingly large number of speetators. he proceedings commenced with a match between Messrs Hill and Johnson against Bull and E. Great wood, the latter winning by three games against two. The second match was between the Champion of England ( Frank Erwood) and Mr M. Pittman against G. Erwood and Mr Caplin. The play on both sides was very fine, but the champion and his partner were too strong for their opponents, whom they beat by three games to one against 6, 8, and 5 aces, losing the fourth by 6 against 11 aces. The third match was between Frank Erwood aud Mr Hill against G. Er- wood and Mr Johnson. The first aud third game were won by Mr Hill and Frank against 1 and 6 aces; and the second by their opponents against 8 aces. The last match of the day was be- tween Frank Erwood and E. Greatwood against G. Erwood and Boucher, the former winning the only two games, while the light permitted them to play, against 8 and 7 aces.— An extraor- dinary fete will take place on the 27th inst, for the benefit of Bull, when, in addition to the above- named celebrities, Mr John Mitchell, the ex- champion of England, will be present. On that occasion a contest will be commenced between the Belvidere and Kennington professionals— G. Erwood and Bull against Boucher and E. Greatwood— and the return match will be played on the following Monday, at the Bear, Kennington, at the benefit of Boucher. FENCING AND SINGLE STICK— The annual contest for prizes in fencing and stick play given by Messrs Angelo took place at Harrow School, on Tuesday. The foil play of Campbell and Price was excellent, while that between Kennard and Barker was little less exciting. The first ties were won by A. N. Campbell, Barker, Hudson, Scovell, Brooke, and Maxwell, beat- ing Price, Kennard, Bagwell, Frere, Castellani, and Alcock. The second ties fell to the lot of Campbell, Barker, and Brooke, and ultimately Campbell beat Barker and Brooke, and gained the HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— INDIA.— Iu answer to Sir J Pakington, Lord PALMERSTON stated that Lord Panmure had taken immediate steps to select a Commander- in- Chief in India; that an effer of the post had been made to Sir Colin Campbell, who had ac- cepted it; that, when asked how soon he would be able to start, Sir Colin replied, ". To- morrow;" and accordingly, the offer having been made and accepted on Saturday, he had set off on Sunday evening, a telegraphic despatch having been sent to Marseilles to stop the steamer till his arrival. Lord PALMERSTON proceeded to state that, in addition to the 14,000 troops under orders for India, and which bad partly embarked, more were to be sent; that Lord Canning had written to Lord Elgin to divert to the Indian service some part of the force destined for China; and that such arrangements would be made, if any of these troops were actually diverted from their original destination, that there would be ample means to carry on operations in China. TUESDAY- GRAND JURIES.- The early sitting of the House of Commons was occupied in committee ou the Grand Juries ( Metropolitan Police District) Bill.— The house had no soener got into committee than Mr BOWYER moved that the Chairman do leave the chair, with the view of defeating the bill, the object of which was not to reform, but to destroy. It pro- posed to abolish grand juries, with no proposition to supply their place except the police magistrates, who were dependent for their position on the will of the Secretary of State.— Sir F. THESIGER defended the bill, and referred to the repeated repre- sentations of grand juries themselves to the effect that they were not only unnecessary but absolutely an obstruction to justice.— A lengthened debate followed, in which Mr M'Mahon, Mr Ayr- ton, Mr. Locke ( Southwark), Mr W. Williams, Mr Cobbett, Mr Briscoe, and Mr Henley opposed the bill, which was supported by Mr Baines and the Solicitor- General.— The committee divided, and Mr Bowyer's motion was negatived by a majority of 187 to 80. MAYO ELECTION.— MrSCHOLEEiELD brought up the report of the committee on the Mayo election, which declared that Mr Moore was unduly elected at the last election, and that the said election was void. The committee further reported upon the conduct of the Rev Peter Conway and the Rev Luke Ryan, as calling for the serious consideration of the house. INDIA.— Some discussion took place on Indian affairs, in the course of which Lord J. RUSSELL asked what the Government intended to do, now that they had received the despatches of. the Governor- General.— Lord PALMEESTON said the Government had already resolved upon sending reinforcements to an extent exceeding rather than falling short of the amount demanded by the Governor- General in his despatches. The Government was not all alarmed, but they felt it necessary to be prepared for every contingency.— Sir JOHN WALSH asked if the late com- mander- in- chief, General Anson, had given any warning of the prevalence of disaffection in the native army of India?— Mr MANGLES said, that since the arrival of the accounts of the mutiny he had searched through the despatches of the late Gene- ral Anson to the East India Company, and could find no word of warning up to the very moment of the outbreak. In reply to a question from Lord J. Manners, Mr V. SMITH said that no in- timation of the kind had ever been made by General Anson to the Board of Control.— In reply to a question from Admiral Dun- combe, Sir C. WOOD said that no warning of the kind had been received from Sir Wm. Gomm. THE CIVIL SERVICE.— Viscount GODERICH then moved— That, in the opinion of this house, the experience acquired since the issuing of the order in council of the 21st day of May, 1855, is in favour of the adoption of the principle of competition as a condition of entrance to the civil service; and that the ap- plication of that principle ought to be extended, in conformity with the resolution of the house, agreed to on the 24th day of April, 1856." The noble lord complained that all that had been done by the Government was rather a departure from than an approach to the principle which the house had sanctioned.— Alter some discussion the motion was agreed to. THE SLAVE TRADE.- Mr C. BUXTON moved that an hum- ble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to employ all the means in her power in order to put down the African Slave Trade, and to obtain the execution of the treaties made for that purpose with other powers.— Mr NEWDEGATE said he would cordially support the views of the hon gentleman, but could not resist reminding the house of the warnings of Lord George Bentinck as to what might be expected as a consequence of the withdrawal of pro- tection from our West India Colonies.— After some remarks from Mr Watkin, Lord PALMERSTON said the motion was one in which he cordially agreed, and which he hoped would meet with the unanimous assent of the house.— The motion was then agreed to. WEDNESDAY.— THE MARRIED WOMEN BILL was, after much discussion, read a seoond time.— No other business of importance took place. THURSDAY.— INDIA.— THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.— In answer to Sir C. Napier, Sir C. WOOD said that the screw line- of- battle ships at the ports mentioned were intended for home defence, and not for the transport of troops. MAYO ELECTION— Mr. SCHOLEEIELD moved that the writ for the county of Mayo be postponed until Thursday, in order to give time for the evidence to be printed.— After some remarks from Mr BOWYER, the motion was agreed to. THE MILITIA.— In reply to Mr Disraeli, Lord PALMEESTON said that the order in council, suspending the calling out of the militia, which appeared in Tuesday's Gazette, was the result of mature consideration, which was not altered by the nature of the news from India. PERSIA.— Mr ROEBUCK then moved the following resolu- tions :—" That the war with Persia was declared, prosecuted, and concluded without information of such transactions being communicated to Parliament; while expensive armaments were equipped without the sanction of a vote of this house." " That it is the opinion of this house that such conduct tends to weaken its just authority, and to dispense with its constitu- tional control over the finances of the country ; and renders it requisite for this house to express its strong reprobation of such a ceurse of proceeding." He admitted that it was the preroga- tive of the Crown to declare war, and if the Crown could d ® this without applying to the House of Commons, so far so good. But when the Crown asked for money, the war in all its bearings was a proper subject for discussion; for it was to the power of the House of Commons in this respect that England owed its liberties, its laws, and happiness. He charged Lord Palmerston, the so- called Liberal Minister, with having done that with re- spect to the House of Commons which even the two Pitts had never, in all their plenitude of power, dared to attempt. The house had heard nothing of the Persian war until the bill of costs came to be presented. That bill was put down at £ 1,800,000, but it would probably amount to £ 2,000,000, of which England would have to defray one half. The hon and learned gentleman proceeded to contend that the immediate cause of the disasters in India was the abstraction of troops from thence to carry on the war in Persia.— Mr AYRTON seconded the resolutions.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the justice aud policy of the Persian war, the safety of our Indian empire requiring that Herat should not fall into the hands of the Persians, so as to extend the influence of Russia in Central Asia. It was not requisite to come to Parliament at the commencement of the Persian war, because the East India Company paid the expenses of the expedition; and not the slightest inconvenience had resulted from the course pursued by the Treasury. He did not believe there was any connection whatever between the- war with Persia and the outbreak in India, and as to warnings, none whatever had been addressed to the British Government.— A lengthened debate ensued, in the course of which Lord PALMERSTON said he could not approve ef the constitutional doctrine, or the resolutions of Mr Roebuck, for he maintained that the prerogative of peace and war was pro- perly vested in the Crown. The earliest period at which Parlia- ment could have been called together was the 16th of December, but at that time Parliament had been already summoned for the 3d of February, and as the Christmas holidays intervened, they could not have assembled Parliament before the first or second week of January, so that the only laches on the part of Govern- ment was, at the worst, not having called Parliament together between the middle of January and the beginning of February. The noble lord then taunted Mr Gladstone with not having been present in February to attack the Government for their laches, and said he had waited until July to bring this important subject before the house, instead of taking an early period of moving a vote of censure on Ministers for misconduct which he professed to think so blameable.— On a division the resolution was negatived by 352 to 38. FRIDAY.— THE PERSIAN WAR.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a vote of £ 500,000 on account of the Persian war, and stated that the revenue of the country was above what he calculated by the sum of £ 2,860,000, against which he was only asking £ 2,210,000, leaving a balance in the hands of the Treasury, The vote was ultimately agreed to. THE OATHS BILL.— Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the act lst and 2d Victoria, cap 108, entitled " An Act to remove Doubts as to the Validity of certain Oaths," the purport of which he explained, and stated that his bill would enable all persons in all cases to take an oath in such a form as would be binding on their conscience.— Mr WALPOLE observed that this was an attempt to discuss a second time a question already decided by Parliament this session, and that the bill was founded upon a principle totally different from that of the act of the lst and 2d of Victoria, cap 108.— Mr NEWDB- GATE moved that the house do adjourn.— Upon a division this motion was negatived by 109 to 55.— Mr WARREN moved that the debate be adjourned.— After a smart and somewhat angry discussion, and repeated divisions, Lord J. RUSSELL withdrew his motio » ) and the bouse adjourned. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 12, 1857. aquatic register. HIGH WATER AT LONDON MOBNING, SUNDAY, JULY 19 45 min past 11 .

Y. C. SCHOONER MATCH. ME EDITOE : I should not have troubled you again with respect to this match if I did not think it right to state that I do not belong to or represent the R. T. Y. C. Sailing Committee, and that I kuow nothing of the manifold other grievances of the " Sufferer." Having begun, however, I will add a few words on the subject of my former letter. It is clear that " A Sufferer" does not belong to the R. T. Y. C., or he would not have accused the committee of some unfairness, and have insinuated more; nor has he attended many matches of that club, otherwise he would have been better acquainted with the rules. The 26th rule, " if in a match a yacht of an inferior class shall come iu ahead of a yacht of a superior class, she shall receive the prize which she would have been entitled to if she had belonged to such superior class," is clear enough as far as it goes, but is on the face of it impeffect, as it makes no provision whatever for the second prize— most certainly it does not explicitly or im- pliedly give that prize to a beaten, second- class vessel. When, therefore, the unforeseen case of two second- class vessels coming in ahead was likely to occur, it became necessary to establish a rule, and each of the following rules had strong advocates :— I. That the first vessel should have both prizes. 2. That the second prize should not be given at all. S. That the second second- class vessel should have the second prize. 4. That the first first- class vessel should have the second prize. A formal decision had, however, as I believe never become necessary, but the whole matter was immensely dis- cussed in 1855, when Phantom, Marina, and Thought sailed, and it was likely that Phantom aud Thought would both beat Marina, a first- class vessel. On that occasion it was certainly understood— and to satisfy the " Sufferer" I assert this of my own knowledge— that the latter plan would be adopted, and one prize given to each class. The 26th rule ought certainly to be enlarged, if it is not entirely altered, as suggested in my former letter, whenever another alteration of the rules is made; but all printed rules are necessarily imperfect, and if, instead of writing absurd and abusive letters, " A Sufferer" had caused enquiry to be made of any member of the committee, ot of i sailing member of the club, he would have been told that the rule in question was established long ago. It is to be found in the same place as the rule against being towed, against punt- poling, against propelling machinery, and among the numberless rules which no code has ever yet included, or ever will include, but which most undoubtedly exist.— Yours, & c, C. M. 1ANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The second match of the season of this club takes place next Thursday, the 23d, over the usual course, from Battersea Bridge to a buoy moored off the Feathers, Wandsworth, three times up aud down. The prizes are, for the first boat, a handsome silver cup and cover; and for the second, a smaller silver goblet, of the value together of 15 guineas. The sailing committee as sembled last Wednesday evening at the club- house, Swan Tavern, Battersea, to receive the entries, and at the appointed hour ( ten) they closed as follows :— STAT, YACHT. TONS. OWNEB. 1. ZOUAVE 4 MrW, T. Sawyer 2. CBBMOBNB 3 Mr J. B. Burney 3. ANGLESEY 8 Mr W. Reed 4. SELINA 3 Mr J. Pick 5. BLUEBELL 6 ........ Mr J. W. Ridgway 6. PBBSIDENT 8 Mr J.

The River Queen, Captain Heath, will accompany the match, leaving Mr Greaves's, Lindsey- row, at two. A quadrille band will be on board, and refreshments of all kinds will be supplied by Mr Knight, of the club- house. Members not in arrear may obtain tickets for their friends of the stewards, viz, Messrs Chasemore, Freeman, Gable, E. Greaves, G. J. Iago, A. H. Morgan, Oriel, aud M.

We are glad to see that the members of the London Rowin; Club do not intend to lie idly on their oars, contented wit! their great success at Henley- on- Thames. They have fixed to have a four oared race among themselves from Putney to Ham- mersmith on Thursday, July 30, for which the entries will close ou Monday ( to- morrow) evening, at the Club House, Star and Garter, Putney, at eight o'clock p. m. It is by such matches as these, and the preparation for them, that the rowing of the club generally is to be improved, and a set of oarsmen reared from the ranks, who shall be capable of maintaining the position of the club. A longer distance would, perhaps, be desirable. CLASPER AND WEIGHT.— For this scullers race we have re- ceived the whole of the money, £ 40 a side. It is to take place on the Tyne, from the High Level Bridge to Scotswood, on Fri- day, July 24, one hour before high water. Wright s to receive £ 7 expenses. ISLE OF MAN REGATTA, DOUGLAS BAY. Patron, the Hon Charles Hope, Lieutenant- Governor, under the auspices of the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland. This favourite regatta came off on Thursday and Friday, the 9th and 10th of July. In consequence of the heavy gale which prevailed on Wednesday, the committee very judiciously post- poned the matohes, in order to give the vessels time to arrive. A numerous fleet of yachts studded the anchorage, conspicuous amongst which were the Nimrod, Harry Bridson, Esq, Rear- Commodore, Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland; Oithona, J. M. Rowan, Esq; Cyclone, W. J. Patterson,, Esq, jun; Blanche, T. M. Dunlevie, Esq; Osprey, Col Lord Burghley, M. P.; Crusader, J. Spiers, Esq; Alma, W. H. Daniel, Esq; Stella, Charles Tennant Couper, Esq; Kelpie, Rev T. Robinson; Mabella, J. Graham, Esq; Starling, screw schooner, J. Green- all, Esq; Sea Dove, Thos. Nicholson, Esq; Nina, E. Dobsou, Esq; Dart, J. J. Griffiths, Esq; with many others which our space does not admit of enumerating. The first race was for The ISLE OF MAN CUP, a purse of £ 50, for which the following vessels came to the buoys :— YACHT. IONS. OWNEB. CBUSADEE 28 J. Spiers, Esq. OITHONA 75 J. M, Rowan, Esq. CYCLONE 41 W. J. Patterson, jun, Esq. STBLLA 42 C. T. Couper, Esq, At seven minutes to one o'clock the starting- guu was fired, and the Stella led the little fleet from the buoys, with the Cyclone, Crusader, and Oithona in close attendance. After rounding the Eastern flag- boat, the Oithona challenged for the lead aud over- hauled the Crusader, Cyclone and Stella taking first position. There was a nice fresh breeze at N. W., just enabling the vessels to carry whole canvas. They reached the flag- ships on the first round in the following order and times :— H. M. s. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. OITHONA 3 29 55 STBLLA 3 85 45 CYCLONE 3 40 25 CBUSADEB S 34 50 I » On going out the second round the wind fell lighter, and the sternmost vessels overhauled the Oithona; however on reaching the Northern flag- boat she again began to leave them. After rounding this- boat the Oithona tacked, as also did the Stella ; the Crusader and Cyclone held on somewhat further. To all appearance at this period the Oithona had the race, but the Stella tacked down the bay and caught a slashing breeze, and after a very pretty race the vessels arrived at the flag- ship as follows :— H. H. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. OITHONA O 46 O CYCLONE 7 O 24 CBUSADEK .... 7 12 0 STELLA 6 49 12 1 I The allowance of time for tonnage being 12 seconds on the short course, the Stella was declared the winner. The Crusader and Cyclone ran out of the wind to the northward, and were for a short time nearly becalmed. The race for the purse of £ 20 flid not fill, in coase- auence of the non- arrival of the Bauba, W. J. Doherty, Esq; the Dove, T. D. Keogh, Esq, or the Charm. Friday, the second day, opened with a hazy mist, but a nice breeze at west; the fog cleared off gradually, and a more lovely day we have seldom seen. The principal race of this day waa the Welcome Cup, a purse of £ 30, for which started :— YACHT, SONS. OWNEE. CYCLONE 41 W. J. Patterson, Esq, jun. CBUSADEB 28 J. Spiers, Esq. KEL£ IB 22 RevT. Robinson. At the starting gun the three little clippers got away beauti- fully together, the Cyclone gradually showing in advance, Crusader second, with Kelpie well up. On the first rounding the Crusader came to grief and carried away her topmast, but, nothing daunted, she soou had all to rights, and led round the flagship in the first round. After a beautifully sailed race the little Kelpie would not be denied, and went in a winner, beating her opponents on time. They arrived in the following order and times:— H, A. s. I H. M. S. I H. K. KELPIB 7 12 01 CYCLONE 7 12 55 I CBUSADEB .... 7 54 55 The aexfc race was for a purse of £ 10, for the open plea- sure- boats of the island, which, after a very pretty match, was won by the Vision, Wm. Nugent, beating the Fidget and Bloomer. The annual regatta ball was held at the Castle Mona, on the evening of Wednesday, and went off with the usual eclat, the worthy hostess, Mrs Heron, as usual, affording her visitors every satisfaction. There was an excellent display of fireworks from the Conister Rock and from the yachts, on Thursday evening. On Friday evening there was a commemoration night at the Douglas Theatre, which was attended very fully. On Saturday the members of the Royal Western Yacht Club, and of the com- mittee, entertained the ladies of the island to a picnic at Peel Castle, where the festivities of the week were brought to a con- clusion. We cannot but compliment Rear- Commodore Bridsen for his excellent and judicious management of the sailing matches; as ever, he was feremost in promoting that genuine yachting spirit which has always so distinguished him. During each day of the regatta his fine vessel, the Nimrod, was thrown Open to visitors, and the excellent Commodore's hospitalities were dispensed with no niggard hand. We also have to remark the courtesy and attention of the Chairman of the Committee, W. H. Daniel, Esq, of Derby Castle, and the effective manage- ment of the rowing matches by Edward Moore, Esq, R. W. Y. C., and D. Lewin, Esq. The regatta was quite equal in success to all its predecessors, and each succeeding year larger fleets of yachts will still increase the popularity of this truly beautiful yachting station. __ BARROW REGATTA OPIEL OF FOUDRY). On Saturday evening nearly all the yachts took their depar- ture from the Isle of Man, some for Scotland, some for Ireland, and a portion for the Piel of Foudry— Morecambe Bay, where a regatta wa3 held on Monday, the 13th of July, under the pa- tronage of members of the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ire- land, and of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club. Rear- Commodore Bridson, R. W. Y. C. of Ireland, discharged the duties of Com- modore with his usual tact and ability, and the gentlemen com- prising the committee certaiuly deserve the highest praise for the excellent manner in which everything was got up, and we have little doubt now that this regatta has been established and become known, that a numerous attendance of yachts may be anticipated next year. At 12: 30 the following vessels started for The FURNESS CUP, value 25 guineas. YACHT. TONS. OWNBB. 1. CYCLONE 41 W. J. Patterson, Esq. 2. STELLA 41 C. T. Couper, Esq. 3. KELPIE 22..... RevT.

There was a very strong breeze at west, with a heavy sea on; the course was from abreast of Furness Pier, round Wyre Light, and thence round a steamer about three miles off the Piel Light and in. The Stella went away with the lead, the remaining yachts well up. Shortly afterwards the Cyclone went in front, Stella making good work of it, but the sea was too overpowering for the little schooner or the Kelpie, and after a hard sail they arrived at the flag- ship as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. CYCLONE 4 43 11 j STELLA 4 46 451 MATILDA 5 3 0 The Kelpie bore up. The yachtsmen who attended this regatta were most hospitably entertained by the managing committee at Furness Abbey, where the worthy abbot's good cheer and courtesy will certainly induce them all to revisit this romantic and beautiful spot. LEANDER CLUB. THE GOOLDEN CUP.— The scullers race, by the members of the Leander, for the Silver Challenge Cup, presented to the club by C. Goolden, Esq, formerly of Westminster School and Cam- bridge University, took place on Tuesday last, from Westminster to Putney, when the following gentlemen came to the post :— 4. Prior 1 j 8. W. Davis 0 16. Bovill 0 2. Smith 8 11. J. Davis 0 j 5. Willeughby 0 The figures prefixed to the names denote the stations assigned by lot to each, No. 1 being nearest to the Middlesex shore. Two club eights, one of them steered by Mr Goolden as umpire, the Westminster eight, the Guards Club, and many other boats accompanied the race. The competitors having been formed into a tolerably straight line, the word " Off " was given, and Mr Prior's boat having more head- way than the others, instantly shot out from the rest, though closely followed by Mr Willoughby and the others. Mr Smith was the first, however, to single himself from the lot and threaten danger to Prior, and a pursuit was commenced which, leaving no moment of rest to either, was terminated only with the race. On reaching Vauxhall Bridge, Willoughby, who had been rowing strong and well, and gradually coming up, was nearly abreast, and the three were making a splendid neck and neck race till nearly off Pimlico Pier, where Willoughby came slightly in con- tact with Smith's scull, and resigned the contest. During this time the other three boats were also having a good race to themselves, but not having paid perhaps so much attention to condition, they were compelled to proceed at a more moderate pace. The interest was now wholly centered in the two leading men, and the marvellous pluck with which Mr Smith stuck to his opponent called forth involuntary bursts of applause from the surrounding boats. Just before arriving at Chelsea Suspension Bridge a prodigious spurt brought him almost level, but Mr Prior most gallantly answered spurt for spurt till nearing Battersea Bridge, when Smith again came up, and they shot the old wooden structure scull and scull, and it was the general opinion that superior weight must now be answered. Whether this would have been the case it is impossible to say, but Mr Smith was soon afterwards somewhat impeded by a barge, which must have given a short respite to Mr Prior's very great exertions, and enabled him again to recover a slight lead, which was, however, a doubtful tenure to the end, for they passed ufider Putney Bridge overlapping by half a boat's length, having rowed one of the most splendid races on record, and one which was alike an honour to the victor and the vanquished. The competitors and other members, with numerous guests, dined together afterwards, at the Star and Garter, when Mr Goolden presented the winner with his trophy of victory, now won by him in two succeeding years. The fineness of the day had brought out so many persons to view this and other matohes, and the craft of all descriptions were so numerous— a thing un- usual on this old deserted course— that it must have reminded the veteran of those glorious days of Father Thames, which would in all probability have become quite extinct, but for the famous example still handed down to the present race of oarsmen by the Leander Club. METROPOLITAN ROWING CLUB. FOUB- OAEED RACE.— This race, which had been much talked of for some time, took place at Putney on Tuesday last, the dis- tance being from the bridge to Barnes Railway Bridge. The following are the names of the crews who rowed, and the order in which they arrived at the finish :— WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB— Mr E. Mann 1, Capt Chad- win 2, Mr F. Tyler 3, Mr G. Groves 4, Mr W. Tyler ( cox).. 1 THAMESIS ROWING CLUB— Mr Danks 1, Mr Cox 2, Mr Free- man 3, Mr Bryant sen 4, Mr Willing ( cox) 2 WESTMINSTER AQUATIC CLUB— Mr W. T. Perrott 1, Mr J. Dodds 2. Mr J. Harvey 8. Mr H. Towns 4, Mr C. Potter ( cox) i JUNIOB UNITE D ROWING CLUB— Mr H. Mincliin 1, Mr F. H. Terneil 2, Mr A. D. Houseman i, Mr W. Johnson 4, Mr H. T. Heath ( cox) 4 A very good crew of the London Rowing Club kindly undertook to start the match and perform the office of umpire, and a great many boats were afloat all the way up the reach. The start was very pretty, aud, if the rowing was not of first- rate order, the race was maintained with such vigour and pluck, and was so very closely contested, that thegeueral spectator must have been well satisfied. There was a most desperate struggle between the Junior United and the Westminster Aquatic up to Ham- mersmith, where the latter began to get away, and, gaining upon West London and Thamesis, who had been rowing hard for the first place, the three made a close race to the finish, when neither was clear of the other. It was understood that some objections were made to one of the crew of the winning boat as disqualified, but we conclude that the matter has been satisfactorily arranged. AQUATICS AT WESTMINSTER. On Monday last a match was rowed between an eight Mr Steward brought down, aud the Westminsters. The crews were— 1. R. Southey, Esq; 2. C. Hunt. Esq; 8. H. Steward, Esq; 4. W. Bankes, Esq; 5. T. Morton, Esq; 6. F. Steward, Esq; 7. W. Milman, Esq; 8. C. Upperton, Esq; T. K. Milman ( cox). West- minster: 1. A. Walker, Esq; 2. A. Hamersley, Esq; 3. H. Thompson, Esq; 4. W. Henty, Esq; 5. E. O. Berens, Esq; 6. W. Y. Williams, Esq; 7. R. Eden, Esq; 8. T. Waters, Esq; E. Mor- land ( cox). The course was from Vauxhall to Battersea. The boats started very evenly, but the Westminster's drew ahead, and kept increasing their distance up to Battersea, and finally won by a good ten lengths. SOUTHAMPTON WEST QUAY AMATEUE REGATTA CLUE.— The West Quay Regatta came off on Wednesday under the patronage of the Mayor of Southampton, J. White, Esq, with the most favourable auspices of wind and weather, and in the presence of a very large number of spectators both ashore and afloat. To give Mat to the day the various yachts in the offing " dressed ship " on the occasion. The weather was beau- tifully fine, with an excellent breeze throughout the afternoon, which tended much to cool the atmosphere and render the day the most pleasant of the season. There was ample sport throughout the afternoon, and the whole was under the manage- ment of Messrs Stockham, Bovill, and Yon, the sailing com- mittee. We must also observe that the Mosquito fleet, which contended for various prizes, was owned by the fishermen of the Itchen, but manned on this occasion by amateurs. The follow- ing is the programme, and the time and order in which the vessels arrived:— First match: Amateur Sailing Match for sail- ing boats under 19ft, manned by three amateurs; time race, one minute and a half per foot; entrance 3s ; to start at twelve o'clock; first prize £ 3, second £ 2, third £ 110s, fourth £ 1, fifth 10s. Thought, 18ft, Messrs J. Scovell, G. Collis, and A. Wood, 3h 56m 31s; Fay, 17ft, W, Read, H, Thompson, andE. Col- lings, 3h 12m 35s ; Mosquito, 16ft, F. Fox, W. Shergold, and T. Sturdy, 2h 58m 50s; Lily, 18ft, F. Sturdy, G. Baker, and W. Prince, 3h 11m 50s; Phantom, 17ft, J. Moore, G. Payne, and C. Davis, 3h 0m SOs. This was an interesting match ; the little fleet started iu a cluster. The Mosquito was handled by F. to start at eleven o'clock instead of one, as announced in the bills, and the steamboat will leave London Bridge at ten o'clock instead of twelve o'clock. BEDFORD OUSE REGATTA.— This regatta has been fixed to take place on Thursday, Aug 20, and the programme announces Fox, Esq, and hauled out beautifully from the lot, and main- prizes for eight different races, including pair- oars, randans, tained her position until the second round, but unfortunately having overreached herself she was passed by the Thought, which then took the lead and kept it throughout. Sailing Boats, under 22ft; time race, one minute per foot; entrance Is; to start at one o'clock; first prize £ 5, second £ 8 10s, third £ 2 10s, fourth £ 110s. fifth 10s. Neverflinch, 21ft, T. Gibbons ( white); Glance, 20ft, H. Parker ( blue and white); Centipede, 21ft, T. Paskins ( led); Arrow, 21ft, W. Diaper ( red and white); Shan, 20ft, J. Martin ( blue). This match was also very exciting, and proved to be similar to that we witnessed a few weeks back on the Itchen ; in fact they: were the same ves- sels, and the sailing was so close that there was scarcely a piu's head between the Arrow aud the Centipede, and the trifling advantage gained by the Arrow may be attributed solely to her having the weathermost station aud to the Centipede being the leewardmost at starting, the wind being then northerly, but afterwards shifted to the S. W., and continued throughout with a fresh breeze. They arrived as follows :— Arrow, 3h 25min 503ec; Centipede, 3h 26min lOsec; Neverflinch, 3h 28 min 40sec ; Glance, 3h 29nain 45sec. The rest of the afternoon was occupied with minor matches. ROYAL THAMES WATERMEN'S APPRENTICES REGATTA.— Under this high- sounding title a race amongst watermen's apprentices, for a coat, badge, and money prizes, took place on Monday last, and drew an extremely large and mixed assem- blage of visitors. The competitors rowed very pluckily, and the winner may be hereafter looked upon as a formidable antagonist. First heat: Thomas Hough, Upper Custom House ( red), 1; E. B, F. Gregson, Tower ( blue), 2 ; Charles Wilkinson, Horsely- down ( yellow), 0. The distance was to start from London Bridge, round the steam- boat pier of Hungerford Suspension Bridge, down to Bank- end, and finish opposite Barclay and Perkins's Brewery. They all started well together, and continued so to Southwark Bridge, where Red took the lead. Yellow and Blue, both scull and scull, went in pursuit, and at Waterloo Bridge Blue took the second place, rowing pluckily after Red, with whom he came up on the return, and they had a good race all the way, Red eventually only heading his opponent by half a clear length. Blue pas second by four or five lengths.— Second heat: Richard White, Tower ( white), 1; Charles Farrow, Mill Stairs ( pink), 2; William Love, Bankside ( green), 0. White, who soon showed that he was the best man of the field, had it aH his own way from the beginning, but there was a good race between the other two for second place as far as the Shot Factory. Farrow then put on a spurt or two, and succeeded in drawing himself clear, soon after which he left Love ( the third man) a long way a3tern.— Grand heat: Richard White, Tower ( white), 1; E. B. F. Gregson, Tower ( blue), 2; Charles Farrow, Mill Stairs ( pink), 3; Thos. Hough, Upper Custom House ( red), 0. Distance the same as in the other heats. Red got the start, but he had not got to Southwark Bridge when White shot past him. Red rowed pluckily after him, and would have been second, but opposite the Welsh Trooper he rowed into a barge, and gave up the contest. Gregson and Farrow had an exciting race nearly all the way, which terminated in Gregson being second, White being the winner by six lengths. The whole of the arrangements, as usual, under the direction of Henry John Godfrey, gave the greatest satisfaction to all parties. FOWEY REGATTA.— This annual regatta took place last Tues- day. The day was very fine, aud numbers of persons availed themselves of the opportunity, and went down by the Sir Francis Drake steamer from Plymouth. The first face was for second class four- oared merchant vessels' boats, not exceeding 15 ft 6in in length. First prize £ 2, second £ 1, third 10s. Three started ; the Louisa, Hope, and Sabrina.

KING'S LYNN REGATTA.— The Roads Regatta at King's Lynn came off on Thursday, the 9th inst. The weather was favour- able, and there was a fresh breeze from the N. N. W. A steamer was placed at the disposal of the committee by Messrs R. and H. Cooke, and conveyed a numerous freight of visitors.

FULHAM WATERMEN'S REGATTA.— The thirty- seventh an- nual regatta amongst the watermen plying at Fulham came off on Monday, and the rowing throughout was quite equal to the hard- earned fame of the competitors. The regatta, which was in three heats, was witnessed by a great number of persons, and the management of John Phelps and of Henry Kelly, Champiou of the Thames, gave universal satisfaction. The following were the results:— First heat: Thomas Wingfield ( blue) 1, James Blanyard ( white) 2, John Powell ( yellow) 0. The distance was from Fulham Bridge up round a boat at the Crab Tree, down to a boat at Broomhouse and back, finishing at the bridge.

DOINGS AT COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, NEAR MAN- CHESTER, SATURDAY, JULY 11.— BENEFIT OP GBOEGE SEWARD, THE WELL- KNOWN PEDESTRIAN.— We have already stated that Mr Thos. Hayes had granted Seward the use of his grounds for a benefit, and this was fixed ifoT this afternoon; but, notwith- standing that the day was fine, and the sport of a varied charac- ter, the attendance of spectators was, we regret to say, by no means so numerous as mightf have been expected. The veteran pedestrian ( Seward) was born in Newhaven, America, on the 16th of October, 1817, stands 5 feet 7 inches, and his weight is about list 81b. For many months past George has resided in the neighbourhood of Manchester, and, though he has during that time occasionally engaged in handicap races in that vicinity, he has failed to prove successful. The first event decided this afternoon was a JUMPING CONTEST.— The entry for this embraced five names, only three of whom, however, put in an appearance, viz : W. Butterworth of Manchester, J. Bond of Gorton, and J. Knight of Manchester, the prize being a portrait of Seward in his earlier days. This event was at stand hop, skip, jump ; three jumps behind to lose. Bond went off first, making au easy effort, and was succeeded by Butterworth, who excelled him, but, on Knight coming, he outstripped both of them. Bond again went on, and beat Knight, and at Butterworth's next effort he was six inches behind, fell on his back, and then de- clined the contest. Knight made another trial, but was four inches in the rear of Bond's mark, though at the succeeding attempt he exceeded it by five inches. Bond next jumped, but was behind, and in the following effort he went six inches iu front. This was more than Knight could reach in his subse- Suent attempt, and Mr Hayes declared Bond the winner. The istance cleared was 10 yards 9 inches. NOYICE HANDICAP.— The distance in this handicap was 150 yards, the first prize being £ 1; second, 10s; third, 5s.

At length away they went, Collius getting a clear lead of a yard and a half, which po- sition he maintained until within a few yards from the finish, when he turned his head to look at his antagonist, which caused Morley slightly to reduce the gap between them, but the finish was too near, and Collins was declared the winner by three- quarters of a yard.

SWIMMING.— The swimming matches at Magdalen College School, Oxford, have for tho last three years created considera- ble interest. The match this year took place on Monday, Tues- day, and Wednesday, the 13th, 14th, and loth inst. On the first day 19 boys swam against each other in heats. The winners were C. A. Galton, Harrison, Schneider, Fookes, H. T. Carter, and Corfe. A race of 100 yards swimming on the back, between Tuckwell, the holder of the silver challenge cup, and C. A. Gal- ton, was won, after a very close contest, by the former. On tha second day the winners of heats in their first year raced. H. T. Carter came in first. A succession of feats of skill followed, such as diving, plunging, floating, & c. The contest of the third day was the final race between Tuckwell and C. A. Galton, dis- tance 150, which the latter won by about a yard. Tuckwell was declared the winner of the challenge cup, having been second in speed, and first in shooting, diving, floating, treading water, and swimming on the back. The first years' cup was awarded to Corfe. The others who especially distinguished themselves in various trials were Schneider, Harrison, Williams, Rice, H. T. Carter, Fookes, and. H. O. Lloyd. The prizes were adjudged by Samuel Hounslow, the champion swimmer of Oxford. Amongst other feats Hounslow dived the long distance of 60yds. F. E.

We regret to hear that Tom Paddock was taken ill last Friday, and now lies in Middlesex Hospital in a dangerous state. We are informed that Sayers was fully aware of this, and that was the reason he forwarded a challenge to us during the present week to light Paddock in six weeks or two months. We hope, however, that this is nut the case, and can scarcely believe that one of Sayers's standing would be * so unmanly as to throw down the gauntlet to a fallen foe. Sayers has now only Caunt to deal with, and it remains to be seen whether they will come to terms. _____________ CAGGY WILSON AND BLACKEY.— These Birmingham men met on Monday, at Selby Oak Valley, at catch weight, for £ 5 a side, They were not long before they commenced action. Caggy got at once to work with his left on the left ogle of Blackey, who in return caught his man slightly on the nob, and got down. The second round was a scrambling affair, bat the third was a rattler, Caggy with his left catching Blackey on the forehead ( drawing first blood) from which he reeled, but immediately recovered and hit right and left, catching Caggy some heavy ribbers; in the end both down. The fight pro- ceeded for some rounds without much advantage to one or the other. In the 14th round Caggy put in a rattling hit on the bread basket, which sent his man to grass ( knock down blow for Caggy). From this round Blackey appeared to feel the effects, tor his fighting was less effective, with the exception of the 84th round, in which he got well home on the temple of Caggy, knocked him down, and nearly put him out of time. Blackey's friends now urged him to go in and win, but in the next round Caggy got home on the left ogle very heavily, and from this period it was guineas to shillings in favour of Caggy, who hence- forth did as he pleased. Blackey got weaker every round, and, after contending for 1 hour and 15 minutes, in which 56 rounds were got through, he gave in dead beat. MILLING IN CANADA.— We have received a copy of the New York Clipper, containing an account of a mill which came off on the 10th of June, at Point Abino, Canada, between Dennis Horrigan and Harry Lazarus. Horrigan is a well- known mem- ber of the P. R., Ms last contest having been with Tom Mose on the 17th of April, 1855. Lazarus is one of the sons of the well- known Izzy Lazarus, who fought Owen Swift. The lads were both under 8st. The mill was for 200 dollars a side, and occupied two hours and 58 minutes, during which 97 rounds were fought in favour of Lazarus, who was proclaimed the winner. It appears to have been a very gallant battle. BROOKES AND MOEEIS.— Respecting this match it may be recollected we stated in our last that Dan Dismore, on the part of Morris, consented last Friday to take Morris's brother to Strood on the following Tuesday and confront him with the officials to see whether he could be recognised as the person charged with having telegraphed to the police. We then told Dismore that we would send a gentleman from our office to his house to make arrangements for meeting him and Morris at Strood. On Mon- day, accordingly, our reporter saw Dismore, and it was arranged between them that they should meet on the platform at Strood between two and four the following day, and of this our reporter took a memorandum. On the following day he went to Strood, where he arrived at a quarter past three, but no one appeared on the platform except a friend of Brookes, who conducted him to a public house in Rochester, where he found Dismore and Mr Short, the backer of Brookes. Dismore, on being asked where Morris was, Stated that he had seen him that morning, that he had a job of work at Croydon, and could not come. The reporter we sent the previous week to Strood was also present, and he, anxious to justify himself from certain accusations made against him by the friends of Morris, handed our paper with the report of the proceedings at his former visit to the official who gave him the information, and obtained from him a written com- munication vouching for the correctness of the report. This dooument he has handed to us, and, coupled with the absence of Morris's brother, it has satisfied us that our original surmises were correct, and on Wednesday we handed the stakes to the backers of Brookes. Dismore has since called on us to complain of our decision. He gave various grounds for his dissatisfaction, of which we will dispose very briefly. He says that he had no notice to produce Morris until Monday afternoon, when it was too late to communicate with him at Anerley, where he was at work. To this we reply, first, he had notice on the previous Friday, Tuesday being then fully agreed upon by him as a suitable day, and the objeot of our reporter's visit to him on Monday was not to give notice, but merely to fix a time. Secondly, he owned to our reporter that he saw Morris on Tuesday morning, and surely where £ 50 were at stake it would have been worth while to miss a day's work. Thirdly, Morris must have seen the paper, and, had he been de- sirous of confuting the charge, would have applied to us in time to alter the day had it been inconvenient. Fourthly, there was ample time for Dismore to communicate with us even on Tuesday had he chosen so to do, as our reporter did not leave our office until 12 o'clock. We have tolerable good authority for knowing that Morris's brother was iu the neighbourhood of our office on Friday last, and surely had the charge made against him been untrue he would have come forward to justify himself. The case altogether is so strong that no uninterested person can have a doubt as to the correctness of the course that we have pursued. The battle money will be handed to Brookes at Mr Short's, Leaping Bar, Old- street, to- morrow ( Monday), when Brookes will be glad to receive payment for his colours. THE LATE FIGHT BETWEEN HAEEIS AND BALDOCK.— We have received a letter from a Mr Cutting, in which he states that he backed Harris for £ 15 and the stakes ; £ 30 in all were placed in the hands of Harry Orme, who, after the battle, returned him only his own money. Mr Cutting wishes to know Orsie's reason for this, as there can be no doubt that Harris won the battle, and that bets must go with the battle money. Mr Bunyan also complains that Orme has not paid over a bet he staked in his hands. We should be glad to hear from Orme on what grounds he witholds the bets. M'NULTY AND PARKINSON.— In this match we have been in- formed that the referee gave two decisions, and that he was influenced in giving the last by the friends of M'Nulty. Of this we have no proof, however, and we must leave the men and their friends to settle the matter between them. TOPPEE BROWN AND BOSS TYLEE.— On Wednesday evening last a match was made at Harry Brunton's, the George aud Dragon, Beech- street, Barbican, City, between Bos Tyler and Topper Brown, for £ 50 a side; to be left open for £ 100 if Brown can get the money. They meet at the above house on Thurs- day evening next ( 23d), to draw up articles and make it into £ 5 a side. MIKE MADDEN AND MACE OF NOEWICH.— These men met at Mr Lockwood's, White Lion, Drury- lane, on Thursday, and drew up articles to fight for £ 58 a side, on October 20th, on the home circuit. £ 5 a side is down, and they make the second deposit of £ 5 a side On Thursday, at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, Leicester- square. The men are confined to lOst 4lb, and go to scale the day before fighting at Lockwood's. Bo WET TAYLOE AND J. GREEN.— These men were matched to fight at catch weight, for £ 5 a side. They staked a small de- position the 7th, and were to have drawn up articles at Mr H. Nicholls's, on Monday night. Taylor collected from his friends between £ 3 and £ 4, but instead of honourably making the de- posit necessary for his match has disappeared with the money. This is not the first paltry act of the kind he has committed. CAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM,— This match is progressing sa- tisfactorily. The men staked another tenner each at Nat Lang- ham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, Leicester- square, on Thursday, The twelfth deposit of £ 10 a side is to be put down on Tuesday- next at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane/ when doubtless there will be a strong muster of the Fancy. WELSH AND ROBERTS.— We have received another deposit of £ 8 a side between these men. Welsh complains that Roberts will not agree to name a day for the fight before his recognisances expire. He says he will pay Roberts's expenses to go out of the country to fight. He adds that he has proof that Roberts caused his own apprehension. BAKER AND HATTON.— Another deposit of £ 2 10s a side for this affair has been made good. The final deposit of £ 10 on t he part of Baker and £ 5 from Halton is to be staked at George Brown's, Bell, Red Lion- market, on Wednesday next, when the toss for the scaling and choice of ground is to take place. Baker of Mile End and auother lightweight have staked, a small deposit in the hands of Mr Carr, to fight for £ 20 a side, at 7st 101b.

Tom Smith has left a sovereign with us to make a fresh match with Alf Walker for £ 50 a side, to fight in two months, and will meet him at Mr Pace's, Plough and Harrow, Battersea Fields, on Tuesday evening, to draw articles. Smith has been in the country, or would have answered before. As Gleghftru is about to emigrate to Australia, a gentleman will back him previous to his departure, to fight any man in Newcastle catch weight, for from £ 25 to £ 100 a side. By send- ing £ 5 to us, aud articles to Gleghorn, any one can insure a match. Tom Hollins will fight H.

AN APPEAL FOE TOM PADDOCK.— It is stated elsewhere that Tom Paddock is seriously ill in Middlesex Hospital. We have received the following from Harry Broome on the subject, ac- companied by a donation of £ 1, and we have great pleasure in laying the letter before our readers:—" Sir: I know that all who admire true valour and prowess will hear with regret that Tom Paddock, in the prime of life, has been stricken down by serious illness. As we cannot cure him, let us all endeavour to soothe the premature age which I fear has overtaken him. Through your itll- powerful columns I call upon the British public and the Ring to rally around him. I send my own poor mite (£ 1), to alleviate the sorrows of my former opponent, and I trust that my humble example may be generously followed. I will leave it to your superior judgment as to how Tom's cause can best be served, but I think that if, under the head of ' The Paddock Fund,' you would receive subscriptions, and all the sporting houses combined in netting up a benefit, to take place the night before Caunt's fight with Langham, poor Tom would have something to rest upon. His arm, I fear, has lost for ever its former power, but surely the British public will not forget him ! I will do auy thing for him, either in putting my hand in my pocket or taking off my shirt for him. I trust that the Ring, both metropolitan and provincial, will follow my example, and thus show our enemies that we have memories and tender hearts.— I am, sir, yours obediently, HENRY BROOME.— London, July 17,1857."— We shall be glad to receive contributions for Tom, but we trust his case is not so hopeless as Harry Broome believes, aud that he will yet be spared once more to try conclu- sions in the P. R. Nat Langham has left the gay aud festive scene at the Cam- brian Stores, in search of health and renewed vigour, at the sea side. He already feels a different man, has increased in weight, and is looking anxiously forward to the day of his encounter.

Weekly bulletins are forwarded to Alec Reid, at the Cambrian Stores, Castle- street, where Nat's friends may hear the latest account of his health and doings. Nat intends taking a benefit at the Chan- dos- street Rooms, on the evening previous to Cobley and Bret- tie's fight, particulars of which will be duly given.

On Wednesday last the members of this club held the cele- bration of their thirtieth " session" at Anderton's in Fleet- street. A variety of unforeseen circumstances conduced mate- rially to lessen the number of members in attendance, never- theless the majority of the " choice spirits" of the society were at their accustomed posts to do ample justice to a very excellent entertainment, furnished in Mr Clemow's proverbial good style. The chair was most efficiently filled by Mr W. Jones, the presi- dent, who was ably supported in the vice by Mr A. Banks ( in the absence of Mr Wynne, V. P.). The whole arrangements on the festive occasion were under the superintendence of Mr A. Robertson, the efficient hon sec. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, and received with acclamation, the chairman distributed the prizes as awarded by the judges at their last half- yearly meeting ( for which see Bell's Life of the 21st of June). In proposing the toast of the evening, namely, " To the further success of the Metropolitan Fancy Rabbit Club," Mr Jones regretted exceedingly the absence of Mr Locke, a gentleman who for the last 15 years had never failed to put in an appearance at their half yearly joyous reunions. The present society, he said, was the parent one, and had no w offsprings in every part of the kingdom, and truly proud did he feel of their having so ex- tensive and prosperous a progeny ; the club was gradually but continuously progressing, nor was there the slightest fear of its retrograding; it was one of social intercourse and friendly rivalry, and therefore he called upon all the gentlemen present to stand up to the aforesaid toast ( given with three times three and all the honours). The health of the chairman, vice- chair- man, secretary, treasurer, judges, & c, successively followed, and were eloquently responded to. The entertainment of the even- ing was considerably enhanced by some very excellent singing by Messrs Jones, Robertson, Banks. Dixon, & c, and it was not till the arrival of the " small hours" that the happy party separated, CANINE FANCY.

The ground was attended each day by upwards of 2,000 spectators, including a vast number of the aristocracy. The wickets were got into splendid condition, and kept so throughout the match, which will account for the number of runs obtained. The betting, at starting, was 2 and 3 to 1 on the Players, at which odds a vast amount of money was laid out. The Gentlemen have not won since 1853, when it will be remem- bered Sir Fred. Bathurst and Mr M. Kempson bowled through, out th9 match. They won by 42 runs. They also won in 1849. At twelve o'clock the bell caused the ground to be cleared, and at ten minutes past the Gentlemen were seen iu their different positions in the field. Mr Nicholson at the wicket; Messrs C. D. Marsham and M'Cormick started with the ball; Mr W. Fellows long- stop; the Hon S, Ponsonby and Mr Lane long- leg and mid- wicket. Mr V. E. Walker was substi- tuted for Mr H. Fellows, who has done such execution against the players in former years. The substitute proved a most valuable one— he being, certainly, the best slow bowler out, a very dangerous bat, and not to be excelled in the field. Dean and Caesar first appeared at the wickets. The second over of Mr M'Cormick's sent Dean away; one wicket for 5 runs. Heath- field Stephenson followed, who with Caesar caused a deal of leather- hunting. Mr V. E. Walker was then substituted for Mr Payne, who had bowled seven overs at MrM'Cormick's end; in his second and third over both Csesar and Stephenson were missed at the wicket. Caesar got nine more and Stephenson two, when Mr Nicholson secured them both— Stephenson first, who had put upon paper 2S, made by a four ( drive from Marsham), two threes ( drives), five twos, and singles; two wickets down for 76 runs. Caffyn came, and here the company had the gratification of witnessing one of the finest catches ever made. The ball was hit back to Mr V. E. Walker with such velocity that it could scarcely be seen, but this really wonderful young cricketer caught i£. This piece of performance brought down loud and prolonged cheering. Caffvn declared it was the hardest hit he ever made. He previously made a drive from him for four; three wickets were thus obtained for 81 runs. Parr followed, and when 93 had been scored Caesar was cleverly stumped from Marsham. As usual, his innings was a merry one, but he had lots of " sparklers" to stop, which Mr Marsham had prepared for the occasion; his figures were a five ( leg hit from M'Cormick), two fours ( leg hit and a drive from Marsham), four threes ( all cuts), three twos, and singles. Parr and Lillywhite then got together, and brought on Payne at Walker's end, who suc- ceeded in getting rid of that dangerous customer, George Parr, not, however, until he had planted a heavy blow, in the shape of 32 runs, made by two fours ( drive and a leg hit from Marsham), a three ( drive from Walker), seven twos ( five of which were to the leg); he drove the ball back rather swift to the bowler when he had got ten, but Mr Walker did not hold it; five wickets down and 138 runs. Wisden joined Lillywhite, but Mr Payne shortly after gave the latter notice to quit, he having contributed 14 by a cut from Payne for four, two leg hits from Payne and Marsham for twos, & c; six wickets down and 149 runs. Grundy then made his appearance, when Wisden was nailed in the slip, having added a good 16 by two fours ( cut and a drive from Payne and Marsham), a three ( cut from Marsham), a two, and singles; seven wickets down for 165 runs. Lockyer followed, when Mr Marsham gave Grundy a " spinner," just singles; eight wickets for 183. Willsher was next on' the card, but Lockyer, who had been stuck up by the slow3, was bowled by one, having however caused the ball to visit Dark & Son's pile of bats iu the corner, it being adrive for six from M'Cormick; he also made a leg hit from him for four. Willsher, being stumped off the slows, caused Jackson to bring out his bat, the innings finishing at ten minutes to five o'clock, for 199. Several large wagers had been laid that 200 runs would be made. The fielding of the Gentlemen was altogether good, and, notwithstanding the runs that were got, the bowling was also good; many maiden overs were bowled. Betting was now 5 to 1 on the Players. The Gentlemen commenced with M'Cormick and the Hon Spencer Ponsonhy. Wisden bowled a maiden. The second bail of Willsher's Mr Ponsonby made a splendid drive for four, but by the last ball in that over his stumps were disarranged ; one wicket down for 4 runs. Mr M'Cor- mick, in the next over of Wi3den's, made a fine cut for four, but in the next Wisden got a straight one past. Mr A. Haygarth and Hankey then got together, and all the talent that was brought could not get them out. Changes after changes were made. Wisden, Willsher. Jackson, Caffyn, Stephenson, and George Parr bowled at them, but away went the ball in all directions; in fact, the oldest match- goer at Lord's could not re- member such a fine innings. All the Players were unanimous that they had never seen anything like it. Mr Hankey, too, was far from being well, otherwise he would have made his score a good 20 more, which he lost in consequence of being regularly beaten from the oontinual running. One minute before the time for drawing he was caught off Stephenson by Willsher - long- on. His figures were a six ( drive from Wisdeiij, two fives ( drives from Stephenson and Caffyn) six fours ( four drives and two cuts), three threes ( two drives and a cut), four twos, and re- maining few in singles. He commenced with two fours in succes- sion off Willsher ; we need hardly say that he was loudly cheered, as he wended his way to the pavilion. No one who saw it will ever forget Haukey's innings at Lord's in 1857. This finished the day's play; three wickets for 105 runs! Betting even. TUESDAY.— Mr Drake joined Mr Haygarth, but was bowled the first ball— not adopting his own peculiar style. Mr Nicholson had also to succumb to Wilisher, making a cut and a drive for threes, from Stephenson and Willsher; five wickets down and 118 runs. Mr Marsham was caught at the wicket by a " snick" — scoring four singles and a three— leg hit; six wickets for 129 runs. Mr Payne run out, and the seventh fell for 136, Mr Lane now joined the " teazer to Players," Mr Haygarth, and quickly put on paper an innings of 22, made up of four threes ( two square leg, a leg hit, and a drive), three twos, & c ; his runs were got in fine style. This, the eighth wicket, caused a total of 171, for which the ninth ( Mr Fellows's) fell, being caught in the slip. Mr V. E. Walker the last, stopped with Mr Haygarth, and increased the total to 194, being only five runs in a minority. It will be seen that Parr came on with the slows, and got Mr Lane caught at cover- point. There was no mistake about the bowling being " collared." We had almost forgotten Mr Haygarth's innings ( too good to be unnoticed); he went in second, and it will be seen, brought out his bat, which, with all the talent of the country opposed to him, is a performance of the greatest merit. The Maryleboue Club made him a present of a bat— an honour conferred only when extraordinary events occur. His figures were a four ( fluke), five threes ( all drives), eight twos, and singles. Punctuality was the order of the day, and in ten minutes the bell sounded to clear the ground. Betting: 5 aud 6 to 4 on the Players. Cresar and Jackson at the wickets, opposed by Messrs Marsham aud Walker. Marsham's was a maiden. Jackson got stumped off Walker the first over, which brought down applause from the pavilion; one wicket, no runs. Stephenson came aud got caught off his third over at short- leg, amidst thunders of ap- plause from the Gentlemen ; two wickets, no runs. Caffyn came, and having, with Caesar, caused a total of 18 to be scored, he was beautifully caught in the field by Mr C. Marsham, who was fielding for Mr Hankey. The ball was hit high, but he reached it with one hand, amidst great applause. Caesar was caught in the slip shortly after ; and thus four wickets were dis- posed of for 22 runs. Betting even. George Parr and Lillywhite got together and secured a hold, running the score up to' 53 be- fore they were parted, when Mr Payne again came on and bowled Parr. His figures were two threes ( one a leg- hit from Walker), two twos, & c, Wisden then camo, and hit Marsham by the pavilion on the " on" side, and not seeing the ball re- turned by the fieldsman, got run out trying for the fourth ; six wickets for 58 runs. Dinner. Betting: 6 to 4 on the Gentlemen. After the repast Grundy joined Lillywhite, but Mr Marsham again gave him a " stinger,' 1 and thus seven wickets fell for 61 runs! Now, said the old judges, how does 5 to 1 on cricket suit? At this crisis Tom Lockyer came to the rescue desperately, and it will be found " fought and cottquered;" with Lillywhite he got Mr Marsham in a fix, hitting him about severely. Mr Payne, > ery injudiciously it was thought by most people, was here taken off for the purpose of putting on the slows to Lockyer. who had played them so badly the first innings. Mr Payne, however, was bowling admirably, and had just got warm. Lockyer, too, went in with a savage determination to " hit and win." Lillywhite played steadily, and great credit must be given him for his judgment. Together they ran the score up to 108, when Lockyer was caught in the slip ; his figures were two fives ( a leg- hit and a drive from Marsham), two fours ( a drive and a cut from Marsham), a three ( drive from Marsham), a two ( leg- hit from Marsham). Willsher got bowled by the slows, as did also Dean, and Lillywhite therefore brought out his bat with 36 attached to his name well obtained, as follows:— a five ( drive from Walker), three fours ( cut and drive from Marsham, and a drive from Walker), two threes ( cut from Payne, and a leg- hit from Payne), two twos, and singles. The ninth wicket fell for 116, the tenth ( the last) for 122, leaving the Gentlemen 128 to get to win. The fielding of the Gentlemen was remarkably good this innings, and the bowling of Mr Marsham ( until Lockyer collared him), Mr Walker, and Mr Payne very fine. Bettingeven: Players for choice. The Gentlemen went to work. Messrs M'Cor- mick and Walker going first to the wickets to the bowling of Will- sher and Caffyn. The first ball of Willsher's bowled the former, and the third ball of Caffy n's, the latter played on; two for 0. The two " terribles" of the last innings then got together and went on for 19, when Mr Hankey was well caught by Grundy at cover- slip ; he made in this innings the finest hit of the match, off Willsher, an off drive to " Knatchbull's corner," for which he ran five, amidst tremendous applause, a cut for three and a two, & c, and he was luckily disposed of for 13. Mr Haygarth soon followed him, being bowled by Willsher; four for 20. Bet- ting : 6 to 4 on the Players. Mr Payne was bowled by Caffyn for an 0; five for 24. Mr Nicholson made a good stand, and made an excellent drive to the pavilion from Willsher for four, when he had to succumb to a shooter from Jackson; six for 48. Betting: 2 to 1 on the Players. Mr Drake and the Hon Spencer Ponsonby then got together and run the score to 93! when the latter was well caught mid- on from Parr, who had been put on with the slows; he made a drive from Wisdeu for three, a drive from Jackson for two. & c. No one but Mr Marsham afterwards made any stand with Mr Drake, whose brilliant hitting brought down thunders of applause, especially as the game was getting so immensely exciting. Nobody but an eye- witness could form any idea of the excitement. Two wickets to go down and sixteen runs to get; but away goes Mr Drake. A serious blow for the Geutlemeu. He was caught in the slip by Caffyn, having contributed the merriest 58 runs ever seen, con- sisting of a six ( drive, from Jackson), three fives ( drives from Parr, Caffyn, aud Jackson), two fours ( one a square leg hit from Willsher), ten twos, and only eight singles. He did not get a three. Mr Fellows, the last man, came in to get, with Mr Mar- sham, 15 to win. He made an on hit, and ought to have been satisfied with a single, but in attempting a second he got run out. The Players were therefore declared the victors by 13 runs only, and as soon as they got to their dressing room they gave three hearty cheers for the honour they had achieved.

T^ JULY 9.— This match was played on the Royai jBrUuswick Ground, Hove, Brighton, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday week. Of Sussex, wo can only say, as v/ e have before, that all the time there is such a division among the gen- tlemen, and unless managed by gentlemen cricketers, with the advice of Box, the team for Sussex will never be properly se- lected. The first three wickets of Sussex fell for 46 runs, of which Messrs Napperand Wells scored 18 and 12. These runs were off Willsher and Hollands' bowling, A change was then made, Bennett, a slow round- arm bowler, going on at Willsher's end, and the wind being high, very much assisted him. Having got Wisden stumped, the innings terminated for 67. The " break" of the ball was wonderful from this slow bowler. The fourth wicket— John Lillywhite's— fell for 50, as did the fifth ; the sixth for 56, seventh and eighth for 60, the ninth for 66. It will be seen that out of a total of 67, three players obtained 64. Wisden played a splendid innings of 34 and saw seven wickets fall; his figures were three fours ( two drives and a cut from Hollands), five threes ( two cuts and three drives), a two and singles, MrE. Napper's figures were a four ( leg- hit from Hol- lands), two threes ( a cut and drive from Willsher), two twos ( cuts), & c. Wells played an excellent innings and was caught by Willsher's " right- left" liaud; iu his 12 was a fine hit from Will- sher for 4. Lillywhite was caught in the slip, The innings termi- nated at twenty minutes to four o'clock, and after the usual per- formance between the wickets, Kent commenced their innings by sending in Adams aud Fryer; the latter took a liberty with Lilly white, aud got run out. Adams soon put together 17, and was caught in the slip; his figures were a four ( cut from Dean), three threes ( two leg- hits), a two, & c. The first wicket fell for 13, the second 23. Bennett had to succumb to Stubberfield, making an excellent cut for four from him, as well as a three and a two ; three wickets for 47. Goodhew played an exceed- ingly fine and steady innings, and was cleverly caught at point; his figures were a five ( leg- hit from Wiaden), a four ( cut), two threes ( drive and a cut), two twos, & c. This player has proved to be quite a star for Kent, and from his steadiness is likely to be called into requisition for England; his long- stopping was first- rate. Willsher gave the field some leather hunting. The fielding of Sussex ( bar a few), however, was very bad ; but Ellis was quite at home at the wicket. Mr Norton having been got rid of, Willsher was caught in the slip, making a fine innings of 47, composed of five fours ( two leg- hits, two cuts, and an over- throw), three threes ( two drives and a leg- hit), three twos, and singles. The fourth wicket fell for 47, and the fifth torSO. Clif- ford made a stand, and stopped m any very fine balls, but his failure of hitting those tossed, or a little wide, was apparent to all. His weakness prevents this, and we fear the County will soon have to suffer his loss. Three years ago he would have scored 50 or 60 duriug the time he was at the wickets. His figures were two fours ( a drive and leg- hit from Lilly), three threes, two twos, & c ; seven wickets for 138. Mr Andrews scored very fast with hiai, and when he was got ridcf on Friday morning the total amounted to 177; his innings, three fours ( leg- hits and a drive from Dean), was a very brilliant one, and comprised a five ( drive from Dean), a three, six twos, and singles made up the 34, when he drove the ball back to the bowler. MrBiron, better known at the University of Cambridge, and who very much dis- tinguished| himself in the field, is a colt for the County; he was bowled by an easy ball. 110 is a task that no County or Eleven like to have to pet before they start fresh, but this Sussex had to do, andsent in Dean and Wells; the latter was caught cover- point. Mr E. Napper, however, stopped awhile, and caused the slows to go on; 2 wickets for 32 runs. Dean played a plucky 26, ob- tained by a drive from Willsher for four, three threes ( drive, leg- hit, and a cut); the rest were singles. Lillywhite was well caught long- on by Mr Norton having a pair of 00 to be chroni- cled. Wisden was caught mid- off, contributing 27, in his usual Ellis and Coppinger— and completely collared the bowling, and each of them left off at 43— Ellis by a six ( square leg- hit from Bennett), four fours ( a drive, two cuts, and a leg- hit), four threes ( cuts and leg- hits); the remainder were singles. Coppinger ran the same total up by five fours ( of which two were capital drives and two leg- hits), four threes ( two drives, a cut, aud a leg- hit), three twos, and singles. The total was the same— 139 when each fell. Challen put together 22 by a four, three threes, two twos, & c— the total reaching 182, left Kent 73 to get to win, a much larger number than was expected they would have been put in for. The innings terminated at six o clock, and that evening 28 were scored, leaving 45 to be obtained on the Saturday morning. One, however, could scarcely have credited it, but these 45 runs were obtained by the same two men that were in over night in thirty- four minutes I Mr Norton's figures were a five, five fours, two threes, four twos, and singles; Bennett's a four, four threes, two twos, & c; the match, therefore, terminated in favour of Kent by nine wickets.

COUNTY OF SURREY v NORTH OF ENGLAND. JULY 9.— This is one of the new matches introduced by the Surrey Club, and was played at the Oval on Thursday week. Many hundreds lined the ground, notwithstanding that Kent and Sussex and other matches were being played elsewhere. The wickets ( as well as the groivnd) wore got into beautiful order, and Surrey, having won the toss, sent in Caesar and Mr Miller, who, before they parted, ran up a score of 49, when the gentle- man got caught at point, having made a beautiful cut from Brampton for 5, drives from Jackson and Bell for fours ( one to the marquee), with a three and singles, in all a well- played 18. Caesar, as usual, was remarkably busy, scoring 40 by two fives( cuts from Brampton aud Bell), three fours ( two drives aud a leg- hit), three threes, a two, and singles. Two wickets had now fallen, and the telegraph announced 69. The betting, which was even at starting, was then freely 6 to 4 on Surrey. Caffyn and Stephenson kept the ball rolling, and sent it to all parts of the field, when the latter got bowled for 23, made by a four, two threes, three twos, & c. Mr Burbidge was bowled off his legs by Bell, who had taken up the bowling at Tinley's end. Mr Lane again played a beautiful innings, and is certainly a very fine bat; he was most splendidly caught by Tinley off his own bowling. Lane's score comprised a five, a four, three twos, and singles; five wickets for 171 runs. Lockyer joined Caffyn, but soon lost him, bewled by a " breaker " from Jackson; his splendid innings of 60 consisted of two fives ( drives from Bell), four fours, five threes, three twos, and singles; he was loudly applauded when leaving the wicket, and for his fine play received some " California " from the Surrey Club. Caesar and E. Stevenson of the North received some of the same salve from the Secretary for their fine batting during the match, and Griffiths for his bowling in the first innings. Lockyer was got rid of for 12; the next wicket, Griffiths, for 2. Mortlock was playing well when he jumped in to one of Tinley's slows, and got stumped. Martingell and Sherman were the last; the former scored 7 singles, when Jackson upset his timber. Sherman played a very good innings of 12, making oae of the best hits in the match, viz, a cut off Jackson for 4, and carried out his bat. The innings finished at half- past five for a total of 226, after a display of the best batting ever seen on the Surrey Ground, for the bowling and fielding of the North was very good; Diver long- stopped splendidly, and A. Clark, Bell, and Tinley fielded equally well. After the roller had done its duty, tho Northern sent in Bell and Brampton. The latter departed the way he came for " nil;" Tinley returned for 3; Bell made 6, and went to rest; Grundy did not trouble the scorers; Wright came, but he did not stop long, Griffith dismissing him for 4; thus five wickets were lost for 22 runs. Diver now joined George Parr; the latter, as usual, had been busy, and with Diver was the only stand that was made, they running the score up to 54, when Griffiths also found out Diver's timber ; his figures were a four, a three, a two, aud singles. Clarke had notice to quit from the same bowler, and soon after Caffyn, who had been bowling beautifully, got hold of Parr's wicket; he played a very fiue innings of 27, and made many good hits, most of which were stopped; his figures com- prised a four, three threes, four twos, and singles. Stephenson carried out his bat for a well- got 10. Griffiths lowered both Jackson and Gibson's wicket, making eight ia all, which he bowled in the innings. The fielding and bowling of the County was, as usual, not to be excelled. The North having been thus disposed of for 81 ( a minority .. of 145), they had to follow their innings; and it being twenty minutes past seven it was put off uutil the next morning. FRIDAY.— Stephenson and A. Clarke appeared at the wickets. The latter was caught at mid wicket by Mr Burbidge making a splendid catch off Catfyn. Diver was caught at point off one of Caffyn's jumpers. G. Parr then came to the rescue the second time, and, with Stephenson, showed some perfect batting; the latter seemed to be the only one who could understand Griffiths; he made some beautiful cuts and drives off him. Parr made a splendid drive off Caffyn for 6, which was much applauded ; he did not hit to leg so well as usual, missing at one time four leg balls in succession from Martingell; he played, however, a fine innings for 31, consisting of one six, three fours, four twos, a three, and two singles. Tinley came next, and began with two fours to leg off Stephenson, but did not seem well at home, as his hits were rather too " cloudy" for good cricket; he, however, scored 24 runs, which were very acceptable to his side. Wright now appeared and played a very nice innings ; the two Yorksbiremeu seemed determined to make a stand, and scored 37 between them before they could be parted, when Lockyer caught Stephenson, he having played the best innings of the match, scoring 49, made up of six fours, ( two drives, leg hit:; and a cut), four threes, three twos, and singles; he was justly applauded on his retirement, and also re- ceived a little " comfort" from the Surrey Club. Grundy now joined Wright, and these two caused several changes in the bowling. Grundy was well caught by Mr Miller in the slip, close off his bat; his score consisted of a beautiful cut for five off Mr Miller, two threes, three twos, & c. Wright was soon after stumped by Lockyer, one of the best performances ever seen, Wright's score was made up of two fours ( leg hits), two threes, two twos, & c. The rest did not do much. Bell was getting dangerous, but making a very hard hit just above point's head, Ccesar put up his hand, stopped the ball, and then turned round and caught him. Brampton not having seen enough of Mr Burbidge at mid- wicket, hit a ball rather hard to him, and started to run, but of course was out almost before he could turn round. Gibson was caught by Caffyn with his left hand off his own bowling. Jackson therefore carried out his bat; thus the innings terminated ror 176 runs, heading the Surrey 31, or 32 to win. After the due time allowed Sherman and Ste- phenson opened the second innings, Jackson and Tinley bowl- ing. Stephenson ran Sherman out the first over. Mr Miller then appeared, and was soon at work. 30 runs were obtained, when Stephenson, being too anxious to finish the match, tried to drive one of Jackson's best, which he succeeded in doing into Gruudy's hand; his score of 13 was made up of three twos and singles; he gave two chances, one to George Parr aud a very easy one to Tinley— both at point, and neither of which was accepted. Mr Miller was bowled by a shooter the next ball, only half playing it; his score of 16 comprised a cut for five off Tinley, also two threes ( drives from the same bowler) and a cut from " Jackson for three, which was stopped by the former. Griffiths followed, and was bowled the second ball; thus three wickets were taken by Jackson in one over. Mr Lane and Mortlock had the very difficult task of getting oue run each, which, however, they only just accomplished; for, had not Jackson been too anxious, by knocking off the bails before he got the ball, Mr Lane would have been ruu out. Surrey thus won with six wickets to go down, adding another victory to their list of this season. We may add that the omission of Hunt's name on the North side was in consequence of the 3Sto » chester gentle- men refusing him leave, but upon what groiMs it could not exactly be ascertained. It is much to be regretted that the Surrey Club should be so thwarted in their spirited attempts to show good cricket. Score: SURREY. lstinu 2dinn J. Csesar, b Tinley 40 F. P.

SURREY v SUSSEX. JULY 16.— This return match was begun and finished at the Oval on Thursday last. The weather was fine, and a very large company assembled. Surrey again were the fortunates in win- ning the toss, which, ou the wickets selected for this contest, was greatly in their, favour ; they were very good to start with, and that was the time when the runs were principally got, by Mr Miller and Caffyn. The ground had been watered, and had it been thoroughly rolled early on the morning of the match, it would have lasted good throughout; but water was put down, and the ground not rolled— a neglect or ignorance on the part of an official employed by the club. We do not for a moment think that Sussex could win against such a powerful team as Surrey now can boast of, but the former Eleven on this occasion came to the field much stronger than they have done for some years. It was evident to all that after the first two hours' play the ball was not easily playable. The wickets as tkey fell also say so, viz, one for 27, two for 53, three for 107, four for 116, five for 118, six for 128, seven for 130, eight for 135, nine for 158. The last jump from 135 to 158 was made by Mortlock and Griffiths, and included many " snicks, not hits. Mr Miller played a cricketer's innings, and saw five men go before him; his figures were a five from Lilly- white, four fours ( two drives, a cut and a square leg hit), four threes ( three drives and a leg hit), eight twos, & e. Caflyn also let out another of his splendid innings, made by four fours ( all to leg), two threes ( drives), four twos and singles. Mortlock de- fended his wicket well against the " breakers" and " poppere," which had by that time commenced their work. The bowling of Stubberfield and Wells was very straight, and " on the spot." Sussex went in at 20 min past four, and were all out at 10 min past six. It was seen immediately Caffyn and Griffiths bowled an over or two that no one could stop them, and so it proved. Mr Napper's 16 was got by a four ( fluke), three threes ( one fluke, one overthrow, and one a " flying " leg hit). Sussex again went in, and shortly after half- past seven all were out, so that in a little more than three hours they had had two inunings ! Dean was taken ill, and had left the ground. The bowling of Caffyn and Griffiths was splendid in the extreme, and the fielding of the Eleven as usual. The Surrey men have as yet won every- thing this year, and we hear are now matched next year to play England, and there is no doubt they have a perfect right to play them. Score: SURREY. J.

CRICKET AT HARROW. THE ELEVEN v THE TWENTY- TWO. This match was commenced on Wednesday, June 24, and ter- minated on Monday, June 29, in favour of the Eleven by eight wickets. This victory was not unexpected, as that gained by last year's Seven v the Next Eleven showed that there was a good foundation for a strong eleven this year. The innings which Mr Northey played was very good ; indeed, the very fact of his scoring 80 against 22 in the field testifies this. Mr Monro played a steady innings for 26. The score of the Twenty- two's second innings is larger than it should have been, owing to their following their innings. Messrs Moncreiff aud R. Sainsbury got their runs well. The fielding on both sides was good. Score : THE TWENTY- TWO. 1st inn 2d ina Strong, b Linton 1 b Lang o H. Upcher, run out 6 c Lang, b Linton 9 Plowden, run out 4 c Lang, b Weguelin,..... 3 F.

The stumps were drawn by previous agreement, at half- past seven © ' clock, when the Hussars had two wickets to go down. The gentlemen of the Sutton Coldfield Club were very much indebted to J. Makinson, Esq ( who played in the plaee of A. Wilkinson, Esq, absent), for their score, for . the splendid bowling, fielding, and batting ef that gentleman.

A match was played on Saturday, 27th June, between eleven members of the Folkestone Club and the Officers at present on Shorncliff Camp. From the score given below it will be seen that the Folkestone Club was once more conquerors. From a hurt received Joseph Berry, the professional bowler of the Folkestone eleven, was not as successful as he usually is. Long scores were made by Mr H. Biron and Mr Gambrill; and on the side of the Officers Lieut Campion was highest on the list, and Capt Newbolt ( R. A.) made a long score. The fine play of the latter was much admired. The game was decided in one innings. FOLKESTONE CLUB. J. Gambrill, Esq, c Campion, b Newbolt 42 H. Ash, Esq, cBlackett. b Campion 7 Jos. Marsh, Esq, b Campion , . . . 7 H.

LIVERPOOL AND WESTERN ( MANCHESTER) CLUBS. This match, which took place on the 6th inst, was the first played by the new club formed by Mr G. Cooke, near Manchester, and, many of its eleven being " colts" or out of practice, proved a victory for its opponents; but from the skill and spirit shown in all its arrangements, it will, no doubt, soon be formidable to contend with, as well as pleasant to meet. Mr Cooke himself played a good innings. On the Liverpool side two young ones, Messrs Fraser and Todd, particularly distinguished them- Score: LIVERPOOL. C. E. Hornby, Esq, c Sudlow, b H. Brandt 0 C.

This match was played at Birmingham on Friday, July 3d. On the School side the batting of Mr J. Marston deserves especial notice, combining careful play with goed hitting. His score sf 54 comprised a five, three fours, & c. Mr Kempson's bowling was very effective, and by ho means disgraced a name so renowned in the cricket field. Mr Makinson, as will be seen by the score, hardly sustained his formidable reputation. He was, however, very unfortunate in each innings. Score : THE SCHOOL. 1st inn 2d inn J. B.

The match got up for the benefit of Charles Lawrence, professional cricketer of the Phoenix Club, was played in the Rotundo Gardens, on Monday and Tuesday, and resulted, contrary to all expectation, in the defeat of the Twenty- two in one innings. The ground, which had been carefully prepared, was in good order, considering that this was probably the first time it had been used for the purpose of a cricket match, though, from the remarkable beauty of the site, and its great convenience for spectators, we hope it may not be the last, forming, as it does, a natural amphitheatre, with a double terrace and high bank at the extremity. Thousands of spectators may be accommodated at once, and, from looking down, as it were, into the basin, could see with ease every point of the game, an advantage which few cricket grounds possess. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant arrived about four o'clock, and remained the rest of the afternoon, taking the greatest interest in the match, and visiting each part of the ground in succession. There was also a fair attendance of visitors, whilst the excellent band of the 1st Royal Dragoons was heard to the greatest advantage in several choice selections of music. We regret not having space for any remarks on the play, which was very good, the only drawback to the match being the very great expenses, so that Lawrence will not have cleared much by the venture, though it will, we hope, have paved the way for a future occasion.

Kennington then went in for their second innings, and when time was called had scored 120 runs, with the loss of five wickets; consequently they won the game by 8 runs on the first hand.

This match was played on the ground of the Grange Club, at Edinburgh, on the 10th and 11th July, and terminated in favour of the Grange Club by six wickets. The match was much delayed by rain on the 10th, but some good play was shown on the 11th, particularly by T. Sewell and Mr Bell, who obtained the 27 runs wanted to finish the match. The former went in against the very excellent bowling of Mr Wybergh and Francis. Sewell's bowling proved very destructive, especially during the first innings. Mr Dickins played a fine innings of 41, and Francis promised well for his side till he was cleverly stumped by Mr Duncan. Score: 1st inn 2d inn 0 0 KELSO CLUB. C. Elliot, Esq, b Sewell 4 absent T.

AN APPEAL TO CRICKETERS, & c. LIILTWHITB'S COLLECTION OF SCOBES FROM 1746, IN PBB PABATION.— The compiler of this projected work would feeparticularly obliged if secretaries of clubs or other gentlemen would communicate with him, in order to assist in obtaining correct copies of scores of old cricket matches, as well as other information relating to the game, such as the " alteration of the laws, and size of stumps, from time to time," & c, & c. The loau of score- books, or notices of any remarkable events that have occurred in the game, will also be thankfully received and immediately acknowledged. All communications will receive instant attention, and the compiler trusts that this appeal for the purpose of publishiNg a " complete history" of the noble game will not be in vain. Bell's Life in London, from its first number, as well as the Marylebone Club books ( by authority of the committee). have been carefully searched, and many important and interesting events abstracted; numerous other reprint and manuscript copies have also been examined, w^ ich fully prove that many other good matches were piayea years back, and he hopes the scores of them are still obtainable. Address to Fred. Lillywhite, 2, New Coventry- street, Leiceste MABEIED v SINGLE OF RICHMOND, YOEKSHIBE.— OnWednesday, the 8th July, a match was played on the above ground, between the above elevens, when the Married ( with the assistance of Swain, the professional, whose play throughout was much admired, making one of the finest catches ever seen on the Richmond Ground) were v ictorious by 54 runs? The principal scores for the Married were: N. Suretees Esq 25, Raper 20, Braithwaite 21, and Swain 31. Bowlers: Roper 10, and Metcalfe 6 wickets. Single princioal scorers were: Capt Swire 5, L. Jaques Esq 13, E. Gill Esq 21, " H. Carline Esq 15, and J. Ford Esq 7. Bowlers: Raper 5, Swain 14, and Braithwaite 1 wicket. Married scored 38 aud 187, Single 45 and 46. DAUNTLESS V ALBION ( OXEOBD).— These old opponents played their annual match ou Monday last, and though the weather was unfit for cricket a large number of persons were assembled to witness the game. The batting of Cannon, Lambert, and Bacon on the Albion side was good, as was also that of J. Whiting, T. Figg, Bailey, and East on the Dauntless. Owing to the weather the match was decided in favour of the Albion by the first innings, and had it been played out it would have become, no doubt, very interesting, and it was thought by many present that the Dauntless would j ust have pulled through. The bowling on both sides was first- rate. Score: Albion 93 and 66, Dauntless 39 and 75 ( with loss of five wickets).
