LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.— / This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of mo- . jjfn chemistry' has conferred upon mankind; for, during the first 20 years of the present century, to speak of a cure for the gout was consi- dered a romance ; but now, the efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that public opinion proclaims this as one of the most im- portant discoveries of the present age. Sold bv all medicine vendors, and by Prout and Harsant, 229, Strand. London. COCKLE'S COMPOUND ANTIBILIOUS PILLS have long been recognised as a most effectual remedy for indi- gestion occurring in this country, and experience has also fully justified their use in those continual and violent forms of bilious disorder of too frequent recurrence in hot climates, where the digestive organs, and more especially the liver, are subject, to such sudden and irregular in- crease of their functions, that they often form the exciting cause of the fatal endemic fever peculiar to those climates. To Europeans, there- fore, contemplating a residence abroad, and for whose use a mild and efficient aperient is required, strengthening the stomach and regulating the secretion of bile, Cockle's pills are confidently recommended, having now stood the test of public opinion for nearly 60 years. Prepared only by James Cockle, surgeon, 18, New Ormond- street, and to be had of all medicine vendors in boxes, at Is lid, 2s 9d, 4s 6d, and lis. DR DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL is now prescribed with the greatest success, in con- sequence of its marked superiority over every other variety, as the most speedy and effectual remedy for consumption, bronchitis, asthma, gout, rheumatism, general debility, and all scrofulous affections. The Lancet, in an article, highly eulogising Drde Jongh's labours, observes:— " The composition of genuine cod liver oil is not so simple as might be supposed. Dr de Jongli gives the preference to the light Drown oil over the pale oil, which contains scarcely any volatile fatty acid, a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the elements of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of cod liver oil, no doubt, partly depends. Some of the deficiencies of the pale oil are attributable to the method of its preparation, and especially to its filtration through charcoal. In the preference ofthe light brown over the pale oil we fully concur. We have carefully tested a specimen of Dr de Jongh's light brown cod liver oil, We find it to be genuine, and rich in iodine and the elements of bile." Dr de Jongh's Cod Liver Oil is sold only in imperial half pints, 2s 6d; pints, 4s 9d; quarts, 9s; capsuled and labelled with his stamp and sig- nature, without which none can possibly be genuine, by most respectable chemists throughout the United Kingdom.

MOSES and SON are unrivalled for the prnduction of SPORTING DRESS; it is there- fore only necessary for them to mention a few particulars relating to the attire they have prepared for the grouse shooting season. Competition amongst manufacturers, and the results of exhibitions in arts and trade, have been the means of introducing a greater variety of novelties in materials than have previously been witnessed. The earliest opportunity of examining these, and the first application of them to dress, belongs to E. Moses and Son, who extend the benefits of all their commercial relations to their patrons and the public ; and they assure all sportsmen that their dress is made from the most fashionable fabrics, and unites the choicest novelties of British and foreign invention. The application of first- class talent to each section of manufacture, is productive of the following advantages :— The most correct and easy fit, the most artistic designs, the most gentlemanly styles, and very supe- rior workmanship. Tourists and travellers procuring their dress at E. Moses and Son's obtain the most popular articles for fashion, neatness, comfort, service, Parents and" guardians secure for young gentlemen the best attire which could be made, at prices highly advantageous to the purchaser. Working men obtain tha best value for their outlays at E. Moses and Soil's, their clothing being strong, well made, and very cheap. The EMPEROR'S SUMMER CAPE, waterproof, price from 18s 6d.

We have received some further chess details of this forth- coming congress of pla. rers, to. be held at Wovenden's Hotel. Manchester, on the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th of August, and have no doubt but that the muster will be fully as numerous as lg anticipated. The play will commence each dav at noon, leaving time to pay due honour daily to the Great Art'Exhibition. The grand dinner ( without which no English festival were complete) will come off on Friday, the 7th, aud in order that the com- mittee may forca some idea of the number of guests to be expected, communications respecting all details of tho dinner and chess matches should be addressed to Mr Kipping jun, the spirieed hon sec of the Manchester Chess Club. M. An- derssen is in London, visiting the London Club daily, and has come over on purpose to attend the Manchester Festival. A match will be played between those truly brilliant artists Harr « witz and Lowenthal, and this encounter will be one of the most interesting features of the gathering, A match by consultation between foreign players ag^ nst English players will also be possibly arranged, and this of itself would be worth going to Manchester to witness, foreign talent mustering so strong upon the occasion, Kling and Horwitz, the masters of chess analysis, being iu the ranks, with numerous ethers. Still, we believe England can take pretty well care of herself, as we find she generally holds her own without envy or malice in all games and sports, mental or bodily. Several of our best metropolitan amateurs intend running down to Manchester, and doubtless the London Club will contribute its quota. CHESS PROBLEMS. No. 196. By F. Healey, Esq. BLACK.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MURDER AX ABBOT'S BBOMLEY.— At Stafford, on Thursday George Jackson, aged 21, and Charles Brown, aged 20, were iS dieted for the murder of William Charlesworth on the 23d of May. The prisoners are labourers, and it seems that MrCharles- wortn was a farmer. On the morning in question the prisoners and several other persons were in a public- house when tSe deceased went in in a state of intoxication. It was proposed by a man called Dulcimer Jack that they should frighten Mr Charleswortii, and for this purpose the prisoners and Jack left the public- house to wait for the deceased. Dulcimer Jack begged the prisoners to do him 110 harm, but while he was speaking Charleswortli passed, aud Jackson called out to Brown to come on. Brown followed, saying if be had any money they could take it and have a spree. Dulcimer Jack watched them as long as they wero in sight, but they did nothing to deceased, and he ( Jack) returned to the public- house. Shortly after this deceased was found dead, and in oonsequencs of information from Jack, the prisoners were apprehended the same day. Brown imme- diately confessed that he aud Jackson had followed deceased, that Jackson had struck him with a hedgestake to stun him, and then they had rifled his pockets aud left him. From other statements made by Brown a search was made, aud a purse belonging to Mr Chariesworth, containing upwards of £ 7, was found hidden in a rick belonging to Jackson. The defence was that there was 110 intention to commit murder on the part of either prisoner, and as to Brown it was contended that he had not inflicted a single blow, and therefore was entitled to ac- quittal. Both prisoners were convicted and sentenced to death. ATTEMPTED MCRDER — At Durham, on Wednesday, William Burnsides ( alias \ Y llliam Goldsboroug'n, alias William Alderson), 22, labourer, was indicted for having, on the 16th of March, at Capshaw, a village near Darlington, shot at John Lynn, witff intent to murder. The prisoner was also indicted for a burglary committed three days previous at Hamsterley, and for a felony at Whessee. Lynn is a sergeant in the Darlington police force, and 011 the day in question, in company with Superintendent; Robson and Sergeant Brown of the same force, had gone to Capshaw for the purpose of apprehending the prisoner on tha charge of burglary mentioned above. He was found lurking behind a hedge in a field near that place, with a double- bar- relled gun in his hand. Lynn sprang over the hedge to appre- hend him, but when he got to within five yards of him the prisoner raised the gun and fired. The charge ( powder and shot) passed within an inch of Lynn, and it was only by swerving rapidly to the left that he escaped. Burnsides raised the second trigger, and was about to fire again, when Lynn rushed upon him and wrested the gun from his grasp. On being searched, a loaded pistol was found in tho prisoner's pocket, and a gunsmith's examination proved that the second barrel of the gun was charged with powder and large shot.— Guilty of shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm.— Barou Watson sentenced the prisoner to 14 years' penal servitude. it CURTIS ON MANHOOD— SHILLING EDITION.

ANSWERS. TURF. Coxwold— Muley Moloch ( sire of Alice Hawthorn) and Muley were two distinct stallions. The lat- ter ( foaled in 1810) was by Orville out of Eleanor, bred by Sir T. C. Banbury in 1798, got by Whiskey, her dam Y. Giantess ( Sorcerer's dam), by Diomed— Giantess, by Matchem— Molly Long- legs, by Babraham— Cole's Foxhunter— Partner. Little Wonder and Drayton were by him. W H T, Norwich— Your report of Downham Market Races would have been acceptable last week; we have received a return from another quarter. W C- No. A B C- Yes. O 0— We have not time to search. Fairplay— We cannot decide a bet respecting the shortest authenti- cated time a mile has ever been run in. R. Cole— It is impossible to give you any information respecting the stick without seeing it. G. Perfement— No. Querist— Yes. W P— It was an error; Bhe was al- lowed 81b. Success— We regret that it is not in our power to assist you. Apply to F. Higgins, Esq. Tattersall's. J S— They were close together. Refer to our report. Macclesfield — Saunterer, Sneeze, and Magnifier were declared not to start by their owner. Plebeian— No. Blink Bonny— You lose. Baunterer— J. wins. W T- On the 14th inst, at 12: 30 p. m. A Clean Shirt Collar— There was one at Shrewsbury Autumn last year, won by filly by JTeasham out of Maid of Saragossa, afterwards called Heroine. Ashmeade— Lance was scratched at 6: 15 p. m., June 8. Fisherman was not scratched. T. Capon— 1: Eleanor and Blink Bonny the only fillies. 2: Cedric was a horse. G B, Chapel- street— His lordship was not the owner. She has been Mr J. Scott's property for a long time. Bashi Bazonk— The bet is off. K. Wells and P. Kirby— The mean- ing is clear enough. John Fish, Carlisle— You win. P. Gaynor, Emerald Hotel— Being a p. p. race B. wins. C E, Camberwell— 10 to 1. Locust— 1: No. 2: Yes. Vindex— No. H. Rogers— He ran for the Derby in 1851. Tom Perkins— They are off. C B- No. White Horse— Yes. T J, Hull— The bet is off. H W A— Certainly. L N N— It is impossible for us to give an opinion upon such a case from a one- sided statement; the stewards, however, were perfectly justified in handicapping him accordingly for his previous vic- tory in the cup. J H T— We presume an American mile is the same as an English one. We believe the time test to be a fallacy. H. Wyhat— Yes. Pretty Boy— Struck out. W T— On the 14th inst, at 12: 39 p. m, H W and C B, Liverpooi- C. B. Handicap— 6st 121b. Suffolk Subscriber— Yes, it was a p. p. race. Toms— T. wins, J C— English. Blabster— Yes. Blink Bonny— The bet is off. J N and T P, Southampton— At 9 a. m., May 8. C. J. G. Miller— Certainly. Robert Mitchell— The bet is off. Rochdale— It depends upon whether or not it was a p. p. race. H J H— You win. Brompton— We believe so. F S— Even against him. T. Bailey— No bet. Liverpool Cup— Our quotations of the betting on this race were cor- rect, and although one or two bookmakers may entertain a con- trary opinion, we were governed, notonlybythe majority, but the genuiKe tone of the market. Peter Flat— You are on at 9 to 1. CRICKET. F. Morse— Very ungentlemanly of the Gunton Club. The county press, however, is your medium. Loughborough v Newark, Pens- hurst v Sevenoaks, Cheetham v Oldham, and others, have " no date," " where played," & c, & c, and therefore cannot be inserted. We are sorry to reject such good matches, but surely it is as easy to send them to us correctly as incorrectly, especially when sheet for the purpose can be pro- cured. Ban bridge— The umpire is a noodle No rule of the sort can be found in " Lilly white's Guide." J E P— Not out for merely stopping the ball with bat. W H— 1: Wide. 2: No. Single Wicket— Out. LLC C— Yes, many. Edward Forrest— Fair ball. F. A. Adolphus— 1: A bowler having bowled at one end, and goes to the other, cannot return to that he went on first during the innings. 2: Yes. J, M, Mildon, Evesham— There is no doubt that there are bowlers too high, and according to the laws ought to be called. Many, however, get over the shoulder with ball in hand, but before its delivery it is below. We think umpires are too lenient, and far from acting up to the meaning of the law. J N, Swindon— From wicket to wicket. E D— 1: Bowled. 2: Make an agreement before starting. Alpha— A. Mynn is right- handed. C H— We have not time to refer. Send stamps for the purpose. A Looker- on— Certainly not. R D— Not out, which you will see If you read the laws. Haywood— Not a " no ball." Stow— Not out. AQUATICS. 3. Powell— Answers to challenges where the address is given or place of meeting named cannot be inserted. G. Seward— Purple and orange for his career. J. Ure— We will take the first op- portunity time will allow to con- sider the case. Cannon and Thompson— We cannot for ever be inserting challenges and counter challenges from the same men to each other; if they really wish to make a match they ean easily meet somewhere for the purpose, and when they have come to terms we shall be glad to take notice of it. ANGLING. W. Y ...., Esq—" Ephemera" has received your " white" trout flies, and your invitation to Galway. He will keep the former in memo- • nam of an Irish gentleman. The latter, he fears, he cannot accept this year. It is now too late- bey ond the middle of July. Let us say, therefore, not profanely, to the White- boys oftheDoolhulla lakes " pax votes- cunt" until 1858. Gloucester— No single dace was ever eaught in this country of the weight of 21b, and we do not be- lieve that any man alive ever eaught one weighing 12oz. Brother Angler— Yes, Readiug is not a bad place. Palmers of dif- ferent colours, with a few winged flies of red bodies and brown wings, the wasp- fly, " governor" and " coachman" are the best killers. Mrs Blacker, of 51, Dean- street, Soho, Mr Jones, of Jer- myn- street, and Mr C. Farlow, of 151, Strand, have excellent patterns. Z Z Z— Pike have been taken in the waters of the British isles weighing more than 501b each. Very rarely, though. A pike was taken in the river Shannon 27 years ago that weighed 721b, and Mr Brinkwater, better known by the alias of " Temperance," had, when he kept a " public" in Long- acre, the tracing of one done by himself, and the original of which he saw preserved in South Wales, the weight of which when taken was somewhat above 901b, Phe- nomena RAFFLE. L. Rich— The 28' s shake off for the second and third prize; 26 has no claim. STEEPLE CHASING. Lincoln— l: We do not recolleet. 2: No. „ „ , HUNTING. Tallyho— It is not in one line, TROTTING. Can any correspondent give us par- ticulars of a trotting match in July, 1793, when a Mr Crockett rode his mare 100 miles in twelve hours P PIGEON SHOOTING. R R, New York— The rules are Hot to be met with anywhere, but a correspondent has promised to draw them up a fresh, when they shall be sent. CARDS. WHIST.— Strict Player- No. T B— He can sho w out. B P— It is not allowable. Young Whist— Win with your king of course. CRIBBAGE.— Strickland Romer— The penalty is to place it behind his back peg. J. Barrett— No. N T N— You ought to have pegged him back the five he took wrong- fully, and not have thrown the peg on the board. VINGT- ET- UN.— Vulcan, Ports- mouth— B. is entitled to be paid the ordinary stake upon hi3 natu- ral, but lie is also entitled to be soundly kicked for his attempt to do his shipmates. We trust that one portion of the stakes will not be paid without the other. DRAUGHTS. James Hay— Anderson's book, pub- lished by Neilson, Glasgow. BILLIARDS. R C Y C— None but the meanest quibbler could suppose that A. had not won the game. Alpha— It is a division, and white has no right to a stroke. L L R— D. places a ball on the table, and the game proceeds. Halifax— The third player owes two, and the game proceeds. DOMINOES. Joseph Lowe— It is not lawful to play for ale, & c. SKITTLES. W. Hickling— Two ties. T K G— It must count. British Prince— No bet. TOSSING. W— The three go out, and the re- maining two toss. WRESTLING. G. Booth— The bet is off. PEDESTRIANISM. J G— The money was paid long ago, Adamus— At the end of the' fifth mile 20 to 1 was repeatedly offered. R. D. Barber— No one wins. Run it again according to the condi- tions. N, B. We never send answers by post. William Warren— 140 yards. RING. We cannot insert challenges from unknown men unless properly authenticated. W Q M- To the best of our belief it was Hall. Robert Tansley— 1: No. 2: We do not know on what day he was born. J. Crees- Off. Qutesitor— Paralysis. Whipcord— Yes. H. Calkin— Bendigo is not dead. J K B- About lOst 121b. J. Willett, W. Gardiner, and Peter Bloore— Bets off. J. Hall— He was bom in White- chapel, we believe. T. Brown— The bet is off. Ignoramus— With Tom Cannon, July 19,1825. Gamma— One Kelly, of Newcastle- on- Tyne. Eos— Aug 20,1851. J S and T M- Yes. He fought Bill Hayes. W. G. Crow- Oct 27,1840. J. I). Poole- Yes. W R H- May 19,1856. T M, Salop- Yes, Aug 12,1856. Pretty Dickey— Yes. E. Bland— They never fought. MISCELLANEOUS. Legal questions are not answered by us under any circumstances, but are at once consigned to the waste paper basket. L, Wendover— He was not then in custody. W B— We do not recollect the date. E M— His rank as deputy- lieutenant has nothing to do with army rank. Gamma— 1: We cannot say. We do not find his name in " Dod." 2: He is of Jewish extract. J H, Linton- No. C D- Yes. Katharine— We have not heard of any such offer. You might " square" a sovereign with a pair of shears, but we are at a loss to know what you mean by squaring the word " Queen." Veritas— It is an overcharge. You must ask him his reason. Moore— Commander- in- Chief. Dixon Wade— Yes. J W E— Hold them until they do. Roebuck— No. J P W- No. C— The bet is off. He lias been de- clared not duly elected, and there- fore cannot be considered as elected at all. This answers Ve- ritas, T. S., and others, who had bets on the Falkirk election. Nemo— 21,104,072 persons. Yelto— We do not know of sueli a person. There is a Lieut- Col the Hon St Georee Foley. Oxford— Yes, except in the speaker's chair or on the treasury bench. Geo. Carter— We have no means of ascertaining the exact numbers at present. They are shifting almost daily. Britannia— Nov 13,1849. W. Bruton— Yes, to both questions. S. Wolff— We never had a chance of trying the experiment. Star and Garter— Down his throat. Gourockand Ayton— Yes, certainly, S. Castle— At the last census it was 2,361,640. C P, Windsor— George the Third, Ignoramus— As spelt, the " i" as in fire. Not Proven— Several North British correspondents have informed us that we, in common with some of our contemporaries, have erred in stating that " not proven" is a negative verdict, which renders a prisoner liable to a second trial in the event of fresh evidence being procured. This is not the fact, the verdict is as conclusive as one of not guilty, except that it leaves a Btigma on the person so ac- quitted, which is utterly at va- riance with one's feelings as to fair play, seeing that it is a stigma the sufferer appears to have no chance of getting rid of even should he or she obtain the strongest proofs of innocence. J. Barker— At home. Veritas— The bet is off. Albert— Between you and me. T. Harding— Westminster Hall. THE FALKIRK ELECTION.— We have received numerous letters upon the subject of this election, and the decision of the committee of the House of Commons. It appears that many bets were laid that Mr Merry would be returned, and not Mr Baird. The commit- tee of the House of Cemmons, after hearing evidence, decided that there had been bribery on the part of Mr Merry through his agents, and that therefore the election was void. The backers of Mr Merry claimed their bets on the ground that Mr Merry was returned by the proper officer, It is clear, however, that their claims are without foundation, since the election being declared void the return was an invalid one, and therefore must be consi' dered as no return at all. The bets are clearly off, and those who have received ought, in our opi- nion, to return the money. W L, Staleybridge— The B3d Light Dragoons have been disbanded. R— It depends on the size. E. Fox— It is spelt Somnambula, but pronounced Son nambula. J. Clarke— To the best of our recol- lection in 1886. Premium— We have not a marked catalogue of the sale, and cannot give you the information. Write to ttfe Editor of the " Art Jour- nal." Juvenno— W. S. loses. W. Jackson and Holbeck— The ve- locity does not increase, but the contrary. To ADVERTISERS.— Advertisements not exceeding eight lines are charged 5s each, and Is for every extra line. They cannot be taken, at the latest, after five o'clock on Friday afternoon, and must be pre- paid. Post Office orders to be made payable at the Strand Post Office, to William Clement.

The terrible mutiny which, though it cannot destroy, has un- doubtedly shaken our empire in India, is as curious a thing as the Sphinx enigma was in the early ages of the world. What occasioned it, how it grew into existence, how it spread, not merely unknown, but unsuspected, are all matters which have puzzled the people of this country, and which have as yet received no satisfactory explanation. In a perfectly free country, where every one says what he thinks, and theorises at pleasure ; where newspapers exist such as have not their equals in any part of the world, newspapers which annually spend in obtaining intelligence alone what would purchase the fee simple of most of the journals of the Continent— in such a country the public are as ignorant of the real cause of a great national ca- lamity as if 110 one dared give intelligence, and as if no one could hope ' for compensation for the trouble of giving it. The fact is by no means creditable to the sense or the acuteness of the men whose pursuit of fortune and greatness is taken up iu India. They suggested no cautions, they saw no danger, they gave no warning. They did not observe any sign of tho coming storm- it gathered about them without their even suspecting its ex- istence, and when it burst upon them they were as much taken by surprise as were any of their country men who had never quitted England, but were quietly pursuing their ordinary avocations in the peaceful vales of their native country. We repeat, that this is not creditable to the English residents in India. It shows the existence to a much greater degree than could be wished of ignoranoe of Indian habits, thoughts, and feelings. It looks as if the English lived in India like conquerors among the oonquered, and not even like colonists in an adopted land of domicile. The line of separation between the two peoples must be immense, and yet we have been accustomed of late years to hear how much the English have mixed with the Indians, have taught them the thoughts and habits of freemen, arid have been gradually preparing them for that time which so many men anticipate, when the government of India will be in the hands of the native Indian population. We much fear that the improve- ment of India and the Indians has been little cared for except in that matter in which earnestness aud zeal are so often accus- tomed to overstep the bounds of prudence, and that to ill- directed as well as ill- considered efforts to Christianise the Indians is to be attributed in great part, if not wholly, this fearful rebellion, which has already cost so much blood, and which will cost so much more before it is suppressed. At first we were told that the use of greased cartridges had fired the fanaticism of tho native soldiery. The statement seemed highly probable, and waa readily believed, but farther information brought it into doubt and discredit. That fanaticism has much to do with the rebellion there is very great reason to believe, but greased cartridges have only been its immediate exciting cause. There is great boast of missionary success, but there has been little satisfactory account of what is the nature of that success, and how it has been achieved. Tha5 men preaching in India the creed of the conquerors should be received with apparent, per- haps with ostentatious marks of respect, might have been anti- cipated ; but it may be asked whether the sense of being of the conquering race has not been exhibited too often and too much, and whether the apparent deference of the native has not been assumed to cover the feelings of dislike entertained by tho Indian populations for English missionaries, who were resolved to Chris- tianise them at all risks, and at the earliest moment. Their priests have at length thrown off this disguise, and now exhibit the bitterest hostility- and hate. To attempt to proselytise when the preselytiser is unsupported by anything except the holiness of his cause and the zealousness of his faith, may win for nim the honours and the sufferings of martyrdom ; reverse all these con- ditions, and the prosely tiser, instead of a martyr, becomes a tyrant. We have heard that this has been the case in India— that our mis- sionaries have gone too fast, that they made conformers before they made converts, and that what appeared to bo the happy spread of an enlightened faith was the mere submission of the weak to the strong— of the conquered to the conqueror. But the shrub that bends before the wind is ever ready to spring up again when the pressure ia removed, and here the belief existed that the pressure could not longer be continued. That that belief was fostered by an external State and Government may be true, but it had ready recipients in the natives of our own dominions. This unhappy rebellion will be put down by force, but some- thing more than force must be used, or its recurrence will be certain, and our tenure of our great Indian Empire, which so much contributes to our power, and ought to be as honourable as it Is advantageous, will not wiu for England iu the pages of the world's history anything but universal reprobation. Miss SMITH.— The paragraphs relating to this young person sent us for insertion, some original and others cut out of various journals, have positively become a nuisance. Testimonials, we are assured, are being subscribed, and she herself has been de- tected at various places at one and the same time, while numer- ous sailing vessels have borne her to a foreign country. The fact is that Miss Smith is residing with her parents and family at Kowaleyn in strict seclusion, the state or her mother's health giving rise in the family circle to considerable anxiety. It is not unlikely that she may remove out of the country! for some months, and that Mr Smith will return to Glasgow, where his character and sufferings will ensure for him the respect and sympathy of his fellow- citizens of all classes.— Scottish Press. SHOCKING ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A RAT.— A very melan- choly occurrence, attended with circumstances of a singular character, took place a few days back, on the premises of Mr Pritchard, an extensive livery- stable keeper, of Montague- street, Montague- square, by which Edwin Dupe, a gentleman's coach- man ( who has left a widow and six orphans), lost his life. The evidence which was brought forward upon the inquest held be- fore Mr Bedford, the coroner, at St George's Hospital, Hyde Park- corner, went to show that the deceased, in taking his horses into the stable, met with an unusual opposition from the animals, which was very unusual, as they possessed no vicious propensities. The deceased, in endeavouring to bring one of the horses up to the trough to eat its food, discovered a large rat, which it appears had turned upon them every time they at- tempted to approach the trough to take their provender, which occasioned their fright and reluctance to eat. The deceased, on making the discovery, endeavoured to kill the rat, which flew over his head on to the back of the horse, which so alarmed the animal that he plunged violently, and, rearing upon his hind legs, knocked the deceased down, breaking his jaw to pieces. The poor sufferer was taken to the hospital, and attended by Mr Hooper, the house surgeon, but the injuries were so severe that he died shortly after. The jury said it was a very extraor- dinary case, but as no blame was attached to any one, they re- turned a verdict of Accidental Death.— Mr Pritchard, the de- ceased's employer, said that a provision would be made for the widow and children. THE JEW OATHS. It would puzzle the Continental despots to be told that the element of Conservatism the most to be relied on in any Govern- ment is the liberty of free discussion. Yet such is the fact. When men know that they can discuss with perfect freedom, the excuse as well as the motive for irritability is gone. There is no proposition of yours which your adversary will not canvass, there is no one of his which you will not submit to a similar ordeal; and the larger the audience before which the discussion is conducted, the greater is the certainty of fairness, and the less are the chances for the sway of personal pique or party pre- judices. In this contest about the Jews' Oaths the press seems destined to act the part of moderator. The Lords and Com- mons have engaged themselves in it, and pride and the love of power are not unlikely to lead them astray in the mode in which they use their efforts for a victory. The Commons happen on more than on one matter to be just now at issue with the Lords. In both cases the subject is an Oaths Bill. The Lords want to get rid of a troublesome and objectionable practice of swearing at their bar, during the progress of other business, all the wit- nesses who may be called on to give evidence before any of their committees. The matter might have been managed easily enough had it been treated as a mere affair of business. But, treated in a different manner, the Commons saw in the intro- duction of the measure a fitting opportunity to assert their own co- ordinate title to make all the witnesses before all the Commons' committees verify their evidence by an oatb. The mere business matter thus became a question of equality or superiority, and the bill to get rid of an absurd and troublesome practice has been lost. This is dispute the first. Dispute the second is as to the Jews ' oath; the Commons passed the bill, the Lords have rejected it. Whereupon members of the Commons assemble in considerable numbers, and, having many men of mark among them, propose to effect by a resolution what they cannot effect by a bill. The proposition is wild enough in itself, but the reason given for it is wilder still. The Lords, it is said, prevented by a resolution Lord Wensleydale from entering their house, therefore the Common* may, by a resolution, allow Baron Rothschild to enter theirs. With these two potent bodies thus in fierce and threatening dispute, the peace of the country must be kept by that universal Conservative, the press. Of course there will be a press partisan here and there an regardless as the Lords or Commons themselves of anything like calm reason. The Times will be on one side, the Herald on the otker. But in such a case the opinions of partisans, however powerful, go for nothing. The great body of the English press, like the really influential classes in the United States, must act as the pen- dulum to keep the movements of the State machinery in order. The advice to effect Baron Rothschild's entry into the House of Commons by a mere resolution is at once absurd and mischievous. The bad and foolish, and not the less bad because most foolish, conduct of the Lords in the Wensleydale case cannot justify such a course, and is not, in truth, a precedent for it. That the Lords did then most wrongfully assault the prerogative of the Crown is true, but that prerogative is something independent of and paramount to themselves, and they claim to fill, towards it, the double character of supporter a? id check. But in the case of the Jew Oaths there is no such pretence for unfettered action in the Commons. The Commons, like the Lords and the Crown, are bound by the terms of an act of Parliament, the joint pro- duction and the binding contract of all three. The oath is fixed by a statute. The Crown has no dispensing power to get rid of a statute, nor have the Lords, nor have the Commons. The judicial authority to which the constitution has entrusted the interpretation of the laws can alone ( while the statute remains unrepealed) relieve any one or all the parts of the Legislature from the legal consequences of their joint act. For any one of them to attempt to violate the law under the pretence of privi- lege would be to usurp authority in ai manner which no motive for the act could excuse, and of which no human being could foretell the final, nor perhaps even the proximate results. The public must insist on this matter being settled by formal legis- lation alone. Since this proposition to effect the purpose by a resolution was made, a new bill has been introduced. This is an irregular but not an absolutely unconstitutional proceeding, and at all events it renders unnecessary an attempt which could not have been made without public danger. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Moniteur contains the following:—" For more than a month the police has had proof that a plot had been formed in London to make an attempt on the life of the Emperor. Three Italians, charged with the execution of this horrible project, were at Paris, and were arrested. The arms also which were to have been used for the perpetration of the crime have been seized. Brought to justice the prisoners had already confessed their crime, and revealed the names of their accomplices. The proceedings are now resumed, and an ordinance of the Judge of Instruction has sent before the Chamber of Accusation all the prisoners arrested, with their accomplices. The names of those arrested are Tibaldi, Barfcolotti, Grilli ( otherwise Saro). The persons charged as accomplices are Mazzini, Ledru Roliin, Mas- sarenti, and Campanella." The euros who were some time ago suspended by the Bishop of Moulins have been restored to their livings. Or. e of them, M Gomot, of the parish of St Pierre, in Moulins, resumed his func- tions a few days ago, and as a mark of respect to him his parishioners on the occasion erected a triumphal arch in front of his house, and decked the church inside and out with flowers and evergreens. They then accompanied him iu grand ceremony from his house to the church. In the evening they caused the portal of the church, the curb's house, and an adjacent fountain to be illuminated. The Foi Bretonne has been suspended for a month, for having, in an article on the elections, described them as " a great victory of the Government oa a battle field where their adversaries were not present." Wit and truth are grave offences iri the French press. The Moniteur vindicates, in an article, the Government pro- ceedings in the matter of the project of the Council of State for the establishment of a General Agricultural Assurance Com- pany, from which we gather that in France it is a grand prin- ciple that the State should become an insurance broker, form itself into a guarantee company, to take premiums and pay- losses by fire, storm, or murrain, and of course insure its own permanence by making a revolution a loss of capital to those who have invested. One of the Kabyle tribes lately conquered by General M'Mahon, oalled the Praossen. claims to derive its name from the French— Franpais. Their flag is white, with a fleur- de- lis iu the middle. One of their chiefs bears the arms of Montmorency, and says he is descended from a French nobleman who came to Africa centuries ago. It is certainly very curious that these armorial bearings, which are unknown to the Arabs, should be found in use by this tribe. ITALY. The Debats contains the following details respecting the late insurrectionary movements in Italy:—" The plot was conceived on a large scale, and was skilfully organised; the most expe- rienced conspirators, not only of Italy, but of Francs and Ger- many, were privy to the arrangements. The leaders of the movement had considerable sums of money at their disposal, the origin of which remains a mystery. The supreme direction of the conspiracy was entrusted, according to all accounts, to Mazzini. He visited Genoa, it is said, at the commencement of the month of April, after having run through Gens any, France, Switzerland, and even the Italian provinces of Austria, defying, with rare presence of mind, the vigilance of the Austrian police, which is nevertheless so clever in discovering those who are obnoxious to it. We are now acquainted by the declaration of M Ratazzi that the merit of the discovery of the plot at Genoa is due to the French Administration, which at once placed itself in communication with the courts of Rome, Naples, Turin, and Florence. The Italian courts were enabled to take precaution- ary measures, aud the conspirators saw themselves detected and threatened. It is said that confusion and hesitation entered their ranks; and the majority desired an adjournment of the enterprise, but that the minority insisted on an immediate ap- peal to arms. The explosion of the plot was the work of this obstinate minority. This criminal and absurd enterprise has occasioned great evils, and caused many victims. Mazziui wa3, it is said, in favour of the adjournment, and the movement broke out in spite of his exertions." As to the insurrection in Naples, the correspondent 0f the Daily News says •.—'" It is said that a sum amounting to fifteen thousand ducats has been found. Almost an the individuals of the first expedition are dead, having been killed without any necessity, as they were overwhelmed by num- bers. and incapacitated from resisting. Orders were given to kill all the prisoners, and the massacre did not cease until counter- orders from Gaeta. Another horrid incident is added, that as it was found impossible to remove all the wounded, many were burnt together with the dead bodies, aud that the number amounted to two hundred. However, a letter from an officer, after the first engagement, to a friend in Naples, says that his soldiers would go forward and could not be restrained, that they carried everything before them, and that a hundred bodies were then lying on the field, which he was occupied in burying. Many more, however, than a hundred v^ ere killed and wouaded; and there is nothing inconsistent with this letter iu the positive assurance of my informant, especially when the barbarities which have been practised in this kingdom are called to mind." The King of Naples, emulous of the French Emperor, has been doing a little bitof trade in the negro slaveline at Alexandria. According to the Presse d'Orient, the Neapolitan consul there lately purchased forty negroes to send into Europe, for a pious purpose, as he said. Slavery being pretty nearly abolished in Egypt, the authorities thought it odd that a high Christian functionary should have made this purchase of man's flesh, aud opposed the departure of the negroes. After a good deal of ne- gotiation, however, the Viceroy consented to their being shipped of this time, but upon the understanding that no more traffic of this sort would be allowed. RUSSIA, The Paris Presse records an act of great cruelty and injustice perpetrated by the Russian authorities at Sebastopol against the French residents there, many of whom had been, if not actually invited, at least encouraged to settle there, and induced to lay out a good deal of money in building houses and furnishing them, and stocking shops and warehouses. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The Simla arrived at Suez on the 12th inst, with 35 passengers and £ 40,582 of gold. Her dates are— Sydney, May 25; Mel- bourne, May 30 ; King George's Sound, June 6; and Ceylon, June 23. The Oneida left Sydney on the 6th of June for Europe, and left King George's Souud on the 14th June. The export of gold from the Australian colonies from 6th of April to 22d of May was to the value of £ 426,430. In the Sydney market tallow is at from £ 40 to £ 56. Wool is higher, from Is 5d to 2s 6d per lb. Flour and freights are unaltered. With regard to exchange, sovereigns are at f per cent premium. The amount of £ 206,626 was received in custom duties at Sydney from lst Jan to 22d May. At Melbourne, Mr O'Shaughnessy's ministry having resigned, in consequence of a vote of want of confidence, passed by 34 against 19, in the Victoria Legislative Assembly, Mr Haines is again Chief Secretary; Mr M'Culloch is Commissioner of Cus- toms, Mr David More is President of the Board of Land and Works, Mr Edden Treasurer, Mr Massie is Attorney- General, Mr Fellows Solicitor- General, and Mr Mitchell Postmaster- General. In the Melbourne market the business done in imports was very brisk, and confidence was re- established, A duty of 10s per pound has been levied on opium. The railway from Melbourne to St Kilda has been opened. Gold is selling at Melbourne from £ 3 17s 6d to £ 3 19s 6d, Exchange on London is at 2 per cent premium. THE LATE THEATRE ROYAL COYENT GARDEN.— On Friday evening some of the men engaged in removing the ruins of the late theatre, came within view of the foundation- stone which waslaidbythelateGeorge lV. There was a hole in the stone in which was found a brass box, and in which had been depo- sited several of the current coins of the realm at the time the stone was deposited. The box was sent to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, the landlord of the estate, in consequence of a con- dition of Kale, which was to the effect that if the box was found it should be given into his possession. The inscription on the foundation- stone was as follows:—" Long live George Prince of Wales." It is stated that the box will be sent to her Majesty, who on the destruction of the theatre so sincerely exhibited her sympathy at the calamity, with a hope that she will allow the heir- apparent as Prince of Wales to deposit the same box on the next foundation- stone of the bQilding. THE CRYSTAL PALACE.— An extraordinary military demon- stration took place on Tuesday morning at the Crystal Palace, the non- commissioned officers and privates of the 97th Regi- ment being privileged with a visit to that exhibition by Lieut.- Colonel Ingram and the officers of the,' corps. The whole of the meo who could be spared from the duties of the camp pro ceeded by railway from Ash station, on the Reading branch line, to Sydenham, accompanied by their excellent band. The greatest decorum was observed, and the men appeared to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The 97th will embark in about a week for India. REPRESENTATION OP THE CITY.— On Thursday Baron Rothschild, according to promise, resigned his seat for the city of London, and the same evening a new writ was moved for in the House of Commons. There can be no doubt that tho Baron will present himself for re- election, and will again be returned by the citizens of London. MELANCHOLY LOSS OP LIFE.— The following are the melan- choly particulars of the death by drowning of Master Alexander Russell, son of Robert Russell, Esq, J. P., Salthiii, near Mount- charles, and Mr Frizelle, clerk to that gentleman, which sad event occurred on Thursday, the 9th inst. Master Russell, about ten years of age, and his cousin, Master Lindsay Barratt, of equally youthful years, went down to the pier to fish— Mr Frizelle accompanying them as their protector. They had been fishing for some time, during which Mr Frizelle was seated on the bank reading, when Master Russell, in throwing out his line, unfortunately overbalanced, and was at once precipitated into the water. Mr Frizelle at once plunged in, so that he might rescue the drowning child, but all his attempts were unavailing, and whilst endeavouring to save his friend he became the sharer of his watery grave. Some parties in the immediate locality were attracted by the cries of Master Barratt, and one man swam in so that he might rescue them, but his efforts were fruitless. After a little time a boat arrived, the crew of which recovered the bodies. MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN.— SUICIDE OP THE FATHER.— A dreadful crime has been committed at Gloucester. A trades- man, named George Meadows Morley, hairdresser and toy- shop keeper, has drowned himself and his two daughters, one 14, the other 9 years old. An inquest was held on the bodies by Mr Lovegrove, coroner, on Saturday week. It seemed that the de- ceased had been suffering from depression of spirits, arising from disease of the chest, and occasionally talked strangely, but his wife had no idea his mind was affected. On Friday week he took his children out for a walk, and not reappearing his wife caused a search to be instituted, and the bodies were found in the canal about a mile from Gloucester. The father and youngest daughter were linked together, he had hold of her wrist and his arm was passed round her waist. The other daughter was close by in deep water. There were no traces of any struggle. A verdict was returned, to the effect that the deceased drowned himself and his two children while labouring under temporary insanity. THE PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL.— On Tuesday morning a numerous deputation from the members of the House of Com- mons favourable to the principle of the Parliamentary Oaths Bill waited upon Lord Palmerston, at his private residence, for the purpose of ascertaining what were the views entertained by her Majesty's Government in respect to the legislative course proposed to be taken by the friends of civil and religious liberty in consequence of the rejection of the Jewish Disabilities Bill by the House of Lords. The deputation was headed by Mr Hors- man, who read the resolutions passed at a meeting the previous week, which are as follow :'—" That the fact that on the late division in the House of Lords all the members of the Cabinet did not support the Oaths Bill is calculated to cause deep pain and disappointment to the Liberal party; and that Lord Palmer- ston be respectfully and earnestly solicited to lend the whole weight and influence of his Government in support of Lord John Russell's proposed bill, and, in the event of its rejection, that the Government will aid the attempt to seat Baron Rothschild by a resolution of the House of Commons, That the fact that in the late division in the House of Lords all the members of the cabinet did not support the Oaths Bill is calculated to cause deep Eain and disappointment to the Liberal party. That the time as arrived when the long- vexed question of the removal of Jewish disabilities should be finally settled, and, considering the repeated manifestations of opinion in the House of Commons and in the country in favour of this act of poliev and justice, all the energies of the Liberal party should now'be united to- wards its accomplishment." The hon member said the deputa- tion came to ask his lordship either to support Lord John's bill, with a determination, in case of its rejection, to lead his party in the endeavour to seat Baron Rothschild by re- solution, or that, if Lord John's bill cannot properly be supported this session, the Government would at once declare themselves in favour of seating by resolution.— Lord Palmersten announced that he was in favour of Lord John Russell's bill, and the Government would give it their support. As to the future stages of the bill ( continued his lord- ship), he must remind the meeting that we were now in the middle of July, and that Parliament was expected to rise in the middle of August, and that the agreeable morning they passed in the House of Commons last Saturday was a tolerably con- clusive proof of the difficulty they would have in carrying the bill this session ; that in reference to Lord Harrowby, and his abstaining from voting on the division in the House of Lords, it was right to state that Lord Harrowby had entered the Govern- ment with an understanding that he should not be able to sup- port any bill for the admission of1 Jews into Parliament; that Lord Palmerston was anxious to obtain his assistance and co- operation, and had not felt it to be possible to secure perfect and complete unanimity on all points in his Government; that . an instance of the difficulty of securing that unanimity was to be found in the ballot, on which he as well as Lord John Russell held strong opinions one way, and so many of their friends and supporters held opinions as strong on the other side; but there was an express understanding that though Lord Harrowby could not vote in favour of the admission of the Jews, he would not vote against a Government measure; that, in re- ference to seating Baron Rothschild by resolution, he could hold out no hope of acquiescence on the part of the Government in any such attempt, as it would be in opposition to a judgment of a court of law, and involve the House of Commons in most un- seemly contests with the courts of justice. SAD OCCURRENCE.— The Liverpool Mercury records a painful event which occurred on Thursday morning at Carr Mill- dam, a large reservoir of water situate on the estate of Sir Robert T. Gerard, Bart, and midway between St Helen's and Billinge. Mr Samuel Gaskell, a solicitor at St Helen's, and his clerk, an intelligent little boy, named George Dixon, aged about 14 years, went to fish with rod and line at the dam early on Thursday morning, accompanied by the brother of the former, Mr Allan- son Gaskell, surgeon, who shortly after eight o'clock left them to visit his patients. In the afternoon MrAllanson Gaskell became alarmed at his brother's prolonged absence, and about three o'clock he went again to the dam, where he saw his brother's hat floating on the water, and the boy's clothing lying on the embankment close by. He returned to St Helen's, and informed Superintendent Jervis of his apprehensions, and that gentleman immediately proceeded to Carr Mill, and there found Mr Allanson's fears too truly realised. At the top end of the dam, which at that point becomes narrow, and in the centre deep, lay side by side the two dead bodies of Mr Samuel Gaskell and his clerk. They were drawn out with the grappling irons, the former with all his clothes on, and a strong line, probably used for catching pike, tightly wrapped round his arms and body, and attached to the wrist of the boy, who was naked. The hat was found still floating, and near the spot where the bodies were dis- covered were found a rod and line, and a fish caught at the end of the line. No evidence as to how the distressing accident hap- pened was adduced before the coroner, at an inquest held at the Eagle and Child Inn, in Church- street, on Friday, but there is no doubt that the opinion formed by the jury is correct— namely, that the fish having drawn the rod from the embankment, the boy undressed and went into the water to recover the rod, having the strong line fastened to his wrist, and held by Mr Gaskell; that the boy, getting near the centre, suddenly plunged over- head, and Mr Gaskell rushed in to save him, when he got his arms entangled with the cord, and thus both were drowned. Considerable emotion was felt throughout the town, and great crowds of persons thronged the streets to witness the bodies being conveyed in a hearse to their respective homes. The de- ceased gentleman's watch was found stopped at half- past eight, so that in all probability the lamentable accident occurred shortly after Mr A. Gaskell left the dam. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. A DRUM- MAJOR'S PRINCELY PUPIL.— Drum- Major William Loomes, 24 battalion Coldstream Guards, who has for some time past attended at Buckingham Palace for the purpose of teaching the young Prince Arthur the art of military drum beating, re- ceived from her Majesty on Wednesday last a special mark of her approbation for his attention to the royal prince. The Queen herself presented him with a handsome gold watch, en- graved with an inscription; also a portrait of his young pupil, who is never so happy as when he is performing some military movement,— United Service Gazette. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. TROOPS FOR INDIA.— During the past week Portsmouth has presented a most bustling aspect. Hardly a day has passed without an embarkation of troops for India. 850 men of the 7th Fusiiiers embarked on Monday, aud on Tuesday the 19th Regi- ment embarked in the Alnwick arid Whirlwind. Detachments of different regiments, including the 3d battalion Rifle Brigade, have also embarked at different times on board the William Hammond and other vessels. Numerous detachments have been embarked at Gravesend from the 24th, 27th, 70th, 81st, and other regiments. The Horse Guards has decided that no women or children should be allowed to embark with the de- tachments proceeding to India until the disturbances in that oountry are settled, when the women will be permitted to em- bark for the purpose of joining their husbands. In the mean- time tho wives of soldiers will be forwarded from this garrison to their respective homes, and be allowed 6d. per day during their absence from their husbands. The lst Royals aud 88th Regiment expect to embark at Kingstown for India about the 29th. Three other regiments, viz, 18th Royal Irish, 51st Light Inrantry, and 94th, have received orders to augment to 1,090 men each, in case they are required for India. This break up of the camp naturally causes some uneasiness amongst the staff. Sir Richard England is the only Lieutenant- General en the staff now employed, and of course if the two brigades are broken up there will be no necessity for the two Major- Generals, Gough and Shirley, with their aide- da- cataps and brigade- majors. It is announced that the East India company chartered on Thursday six large screw steamers, in addition to several clipper vessels, for the conveyance of troops. The steamers consist of the Golden Fleece, of 2,700 tons; and the Lady Jocelyn, of 2,200 tons, belonging to theCuropean and American Steam Company; the Australian, of 1,391 tons, the Sydney, of 1,391 tons, and the Victoria, of 1,897 tons, belonging to the Austra- lian Company; and the Scotland, of about 1,800 tens, belonging to Mr W. S. Lindsay. These six vessels, it is thought, might carry a total of more than 4,000 men. The terms to be paid for the Golden Fleece and Lady Jocelyn are £ 49 per man. For the others it is £ 43 15s per man. The Golden Fleece and Lady Jocelyn will call at St Vincent's or Rio to coal, the company having depots at those stations. The sailing ves- sels engaged include the James Baines and Champion of the Seas, cacti of about 2,000 tons, and the Forerunner, Warrior Queen, Ghenkis Khan, Vernon, and Marlborough. MARINES FOR CHINA.— The following is the Royal Marine Contingent under orders to prepare for embarkation to China:— 4 captains, 5 first lieutenants, 4 second lieutenants, 17 sergeants, 16 corporals, 4 drummers and bugkrs, and 300 privates from each division— Portsmouth, Plymouth, Chatham, and Woolwich; and 1 captain, 4 first lieutenants, 5 sergeants, 8 corporals, 2 buglers, and 80 privates and gunners of the Royal Marine Artillery— total, 1,500. NAYAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT MARTIAL— A court martial assembled on Thursday on board the flag- ship Waterloo, at Sheerness, to try Mr Edward F. Craven, acting mate, doing lieutenant's duty on board the Cossack, on the charge brought against him by Captaiu James H, Oockburn, late in command of the Cossack, that when iu actual service and full pay of her Majesty's fleet, and acting mate, doing duty as acting lieutenant of and belonging to her Majesty's ship Cossack, he did, on board the said ship, on or about the 14th of July, 1857, enter his commanding officer's cabin in a senseless state of intoxication. Evidence having been given in support of tlio charge, tha court, after hearing the pri- soner in defence, gave its opinion that the charge had been fully proved, and adjudged the prisoner to be severely reprimanded and to serve afloat as acting mate for two years, and if he should pass during that period he should be ineligible for promotion during such period of two years from the date of this sentence. THE FLEET IN CHINA.— A letter dated. Hong Kong, May 23, gives the following particulars relative to some of the gun- boats seut out from England to join the squadron in the China Seas :— " The Plover guii- boat arrived in the Roads this day; her dates are— arrived at Teneriffe on the 24th of October, left there on the 28th; arrived at Rio de Janeiro 6th December, left there on the 13th December; arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape, January 17, 1857, left February 22; made Anger Point, Island of Java, April 16, left April 18; arrived at Singapore April 23, left there April 26. The Highflver had four to five gun- boats in company with her. The Cruiser lost two of her chickens ( gun- boats), as they are called, the Haughty and Forester, after leaving the Cape; she then returned to the Cape and joined company with the Plover. Tho Starling gun- boat lias already been engaged with the war junks and piratical junks. The English mall arrived to- day, and leaves for E a gland on Monday afternoon next. All the gun- boats are fitting for Canton river, where they are to. proceed on Tuesday next. The Plover has been delayed, not having a gun- slide for her 8- inch gun, which is being made here. The 32- pounder guns are put right forward in the gun- boats, and the 8- inch gun is to be placed between the main aud mizen- mast. The Starling and Bustard are already in the river, and the Staunch sailed to- day. They are waiting to be reinforced by all the gun- boats. The Bittern brig is re- commissioned by the officers of the Raleigh." APPOINTMENTS.— Capt: R. B. Watson, C. B,, to the Chesapeake, 51, vice Buckle, resigned.— Commander: H. C.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL.— The fifty- first anniversary festival in aid of the funds of the Licensed Victuallers' School, Kennington- lane, took place on Wednesday, under most auspicious and agreeable circumstances, iu the grounds of Highbury Barn Tavern, Islington, and was attended by upwards of 1,300 of the most influential members of the trade, and supporters of the noble institution. As on former occasions, a spacious and elegant marquee had been erected 011 the green, under the grateful shade of which the company, who well filled the ample ranges of tables, partook of an excellent repast, which did credit to the establishment of Mr Hinton, aud was highly approved by his numerous guests. The spectacle was a most gratifying one to the friends and supporters of the school, and one of which, as a body, they may be justly proud, as it demon- strated that they have hands aud hearts to help the unfortu- nate, and that the merits of their noble school have gained for it the sympathy and assistance of many powerful and generous friends. We are most happy te be able to add that, as a means of adding to the funds of the institution, now severely pressed upon by the contemplated enfranchisement of the site of the establishment at Kennington- lane, the result of the anniversary was eminently satisfactory. The chair was taken shortly after four o'clock by Mr Hedworth Barclay, of the firm of Barclay and Co. After the usual loyal toasts Mr Smalley read the list of subscrip- tions, and in the first instance announced that he had received a letter from W. Roupell. Esq, M. P., apologising for his absence, and forwarding a check of 50 guineas towards the general fund [ cheers]. From the subscriptions towards the same ob- ject we give that of the chairman, Hedworth Barclay, Esq, 50 guineas; Barclay, Perkins, and Co, 100 guineas; Arthur K. Barclay, Esq, £ 21; Thomas G. Barclay, Esq, £ 21; Alexander C. Barclay, Esq, £ 21; Robert W. Barclay, Esq, £ 1010s ; A. Perkins, Esq, £ 21; F. Perkins, Esq, £ 21; C. J. Bevan, Esq, £ 21; nine agents of the firm 5 guineas each, £ 47 5s. For the enfranchisement fund, Barclay, Perkins, and Co, £ 5210s; H. Barclay, Esq ( chairman) £ 10 10s; A. K. Barclay, Esq, £ 5 5s; T. G. Barclay, Esq, £ 5 6s; A. C. Barclay, Esq, £ 5 5s; Algernon Perkins, Esq, £ 5 5s; F. Perkins, Esq, £ 5 5s ; C. J. Bevan, Esq, £ 5 5s, making an aggregate total for both funds from the chairman, firm, and friends, of the munificent sum of £ 435 15s [ cheers]. For the general fund, John Locke, Esq, M. P., sub- scribed £ 10103; Mr Sergeant Ballantine, £ 10 10s; Charles S. Butler, Esq, M. P., second donation, £ 10 10s, who sent a letter apologising that he was unable to attend. The whole amount subscribed towards the general fund was £ 1,350. For the en- franchisement fund upwards of £ 300 was subscribed. THE " LION HUNTER" AT THE POLICE COURT.— Mr Gordon Cumming, who is at present exhibiting his trophies in the Clayton Hall, in Liverpool, was charged before the borough magistrates, on Wednesday, with assaulting several persons on the 14th inst, while in the Grand Junction Hotel in Lime- street. The chief complainants were two persons named Griffith asd Ellis, who stated that on the evening in question they were sitting in the coffee- room of the hotel, where Mr Gordon Cum- miiig was taking his supper with two friends, with whom he was discussing the qualifications of the United States steam frigate Niagara. The complainants, having been on board, were in- terested in the conversation, and joined Mr Cumming at his table, when that gentleman ( so they said), without any provoca- tion, attacked them iu a violent manner, Griffith being severely cut about the face, whilo Ellis was also much injured. The bar- maid and barman came in, they stated, for some heavy blows. According to Mr Cumming's version, and that of his friends, Griffith provoked the assault, by first making insulting remarks about the English flag, and, when they were resented, challenged Mr Cumming to fight, saying that if they would get upon the floor, " he would take the bounce out of all three of them." In common politeness, Mr Cumming said, he accepted the invita- tion, and as he did not do those kind of things by halves, he gave the main a sound thrashing for his impertinence. The magistrates considered that the complainants had drawn the chastisement 011 themselves, and dismissed the summons. FATAL ACCIDENT.— THREE GUARDSMEN DROWNED.— A la. mentable accident, by which three lives have been lost, occurred on Tuesday evening in Dublin Bay. So far ( says the Freeman's Journal) as could be ascertained, it appears that eight persons, nearly all belonging to the Brigade of Guards, now stationed at the Royal Barracks, and including an officer, went out on a pleasure excursion in a four- oared boat, which also carried a sail. They bad been rowing about during the day, and in the evening, when about a mile and a half off Kingstown Harbour, standing towards Howth, the boat unfortunately capsized, and the whole party were immersed in the water. Some of them clung to the overturned boat, others to the oars, and the re- mainder kept above water by swimming. Happily, the accident was observed on board the Isle of Bute steamer, which was en- gaged at the time towing a large vessel to Dublin, and with praiseworthy humanity and promptitude the master ( John Hayes) at once caused the tow- rope to be cast off, and the course of the steamer directed to the men who were struggling for life in the water, and almost exhausted. The steamer had to come a distance of more than a mile to the scene of the accident, and we regret to state that before it arrived three of the unfortunate boating party sank to rise no more— one of them was a corporal of the Guards, named Dance. The other five were rescued by the master of the steamer and several of his men, who gallantly jumped overboard, and picked them up almost on the point of sinkiisg from utter exhaustion. WITCHCRAFT.— Ritty Littlewood, the dupe of Isaac Rush- worth, the Leeds wizard, who was tried at York a few days ago and sentenced to 18 mouths' imprisonment on the charge of fraudulently obtaining money from the poor girl, whom he had also seduced, was on Monday taken to the Wakefield Asylum in a state of insanity. It appears that Rush worth after his com- mittal for trial contrived to convey to the unfortunate girl cer- tain threats that she would suffer if any harm came to him; that he would cause her to be haunted by devils; and that if he should die in prison his ghost should never leave her by day or night. The morbid impression thus excited in the girl s mind was confirmed by her seeing one of the jurymen on Rushworth s trial twice faint in the box during the investigation. On Satur- day week she became extremely violent, and had to be restrained by main force. On arriving at Wakefield she presented a sad spectacle, large pieces of flesh having been dug out or her face and neck with her finger nails. . , , Loss OF THE CANADIAN SCREW STEAMER.— It is reported that the owners intend to abandon the Canadian screw steamer: but it is affirmed that her after- compartment can be pumped out, when the cost of raising her would be comparatively little. EXECUTION AT CHELMSFORD.— On Thursday Michael Craw- ley underwent the extreme penalty of the law at Chelmsford, for the murder of his wife at Stratford. He had never attempted to deny his guilt, but to thel& st showed no sign of peaitence. THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW. [ FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] The twentieth festival of this great society came off at Salis- bury last week, and, both in the quality of the sheep, pigs, cattle, and cart- horses, has never been surpassed. Taking all kinds of stock there were 1,183 entries. The only serious con- tretemps to eattle was the severe injury sustained by the Duke of Richmond's pen of Southwolds from some engine sparks, and hence Mr Jonas Webb ( whose best Southdown tup was let the week before for 197 guineas) carried off both the first and second prize in this class, Mr Sanday being again " monarch of all he surveyed" in Leicesters. The miserable resolution that the public dinner should be given up to save expense, was a great annoyance to the farmers, and as the council seem ashamed of their doings, and disavow the vote individually, we should like to know who really did it. All great societies are consolidated by an annual dinner, and why is that of the great dinner- pro- ducers, of all others, to be made the solitary mean exception ? Seeing that Mr Ambler's Grand Turk has gone abroad, before he could win the first short- horn prize for old bulls, John 0' Groat, a magnificent roan, bred by Mr Fawkes, of Farnley, and now the property of Mr Stirling, M. P., of Keir ( who bought him for 200 guineas at Carlisle), had no trouble with his twenty com- petitors. In fact, many thought it a case of " Eclipse first, and the rest nowhere." Mr Fawkes's roau bull Sirloiu, who had also the Bridegroom blood ia his veins, 011 on? side, was alike fortunate in Classj2, where two dozen wore shown, being the second year in succession that Mr Fawkes has won it. This year he beat' Colonel Townley, but in 1855 his John o' Groat was seoond in this class to the colonel's Master Butterfly. Immense interest attached to the decision In Class 3, for which fifteen were entered, as there had been not a little betting as to whe- ther Great Mogul, who was bought in by Mr Majoribanks at his Bushey Farm sale last May for 400 guineas, when he was only six months 10 days old, in order that he might enter him for this prize, would be the winner. Mr Wetherali jocularly offered to back him at the sale for £ 100 to win this prize against Skir- misher winning the Darby, and his judgment proved correct. In fact, he is so beautiful iu symmetry, hair, and touch, that it does not seem at all improbable that he may, like MastsrButter- fly, win the three bull prizes in succession, though he may not fetch 1,200 guineas for the Australian market. Among the short- horn cows, Colonel Townley's almost ivincible herd was first and second with the cow that won at Chelmsford as a two year old, and the winner of tho Paris cow prize; and the same good fortune attended him in the yearling short- horn heifer class, where he showed six out of the 22, three of them by Master Butterfly, In number the horsts were 151 against 196 at Chelmsford; but the show of agricultural stallions was especially fine, and out of the 37 in Class 1, 33 put in appear- ance, 16 of which were " Suffolk chesnuts." Eyen Mr Barthropp, the great winner breeder of the latter county, was worsted here ( as Mr Fisher Hobbs was in pigs); and a very handsome and active dapple grey Lincolnshire horse, Matchless, carried the day. He was highly commended last year, but his trotting action was not good enough, and hence his owner has taken care to put him through his paces siuoe. He was most wonderfully liked by every ore who saw him. Young Inker5aaim, the second prize- horse, who was half Suffolk aud Lincoln, was of a heavier mould, and won the Dray Horse prize last year, a class for which he seems more fitted. The " Suffolk chesnuts," however, gallantly held their own in Class 2 among the agricultural stallions, who were foaled in 1855, and were first and second of the 23, ten of which were their countrymen. Royal George, the winner, is a great beauty, and won as a yearling at Chelmsford, while his sire, Old Samson, had a first prize at Gloucester. The seoond was the property of Sir Edward Kerrison, and a son of Catlin's Duke, a name as indelibly associated as Barthropp's with these massive chesnut cart champions. There were only three Clydesdales 011 the ground, aud in fact Mr Phillipps of Cracrop, the great English breeder of that class of horse showed nothing, a remark which applies to his brother Cumbrians, who have won no less than four of the head horse prizes in 1855- 56. The dray horse competition sank to four, aud a very handsome " Oxfordshire brown," with e white blaze, had 110 difficulty in vindicating his name of " The Conqueror." He was merely " commended" last year at Chelmsford, among the agricultural horses, while Matchless was " highly commended," so his owDer, thinking he could not beat the grey, entered him among the dray horses, and thus bv their good tact each had head prizes. This classi- fication is most truly " a distinction without a difference." The " Suffolk chesnuts" were first and second again among the agricultural mares and foals for which 23 tried ; and second best to a chesnut Wiltshire among the agricultural fillies. Six hunting mares had to bow to a very muscular thirteen year old weight- carrying brown mare by Elvas, with a plain head, and legs scarred all over from her work with the Badminton. She has had no foal yet, but was covered by Umbriel this season. There has been so much chopping and changing in the condi- tions under which blood horsey could be shown, that the com- petition li » s created comparatively very small interest. The first year, eight tried under the conditions that they were to be adapted " for getting hunters, carriage horses, and roadsters," and not to cover at more than £ 3, but, as might almost have been expected, no prize was awarded. Jack Tar, by Emilius, won in 1842, and Clarion in 1844. In 1854 Loutherbourg beat Maroon; in 1855 the two Cumberland horses, Royal Ravenhill and A British Yeoman, were ftrst and second, and the following year A British Yeoman defeated Ptolemy. The latter, who has, we think, gone abroad, was not shown this year, and Hobbie Noble, wbo arrived from his Yorkshire quarters in company with his stable mate, The Knight of Gwynne, carried off the 30 sovs prize as " the best thorough bred stallion forgetting hunters." " The six thousand guinea gentleman has done us all," was the pathetic lament of the first groom we accosted. Never- theless, to tell the truth, the show in this class was not such as we have a right to look for, and in two or three there was a sad lack of " liberty." In fact, it is not saying much for the spirit of horse- breeders, that they will not go to the ex- pense of bringing their horses out for the honour of the thing. Hobbie looked, blooming and well, perhaps a trifle under sixteen hands, and well thickened out, while liis head is fine and ex- pressive to a degree his " quality," altogether much beyond anything fte had to meet. Still his legs were not what we should exactly like to see reproduced in the hunting field, and were not a little demurred to. Theon looked beautiful, and it is seldom that we see such a head, but good as his barrel is, is is too short, and those who want the real type of an English hunter must go for length and short legs, and we saw nothing which came up to our ideas on that point. Theon was trumpeter in ordinary to the show, and kept the most defiant of the game cocks in countenance by his challenges to his " fayre friends" opposite. We never saw the old brown so gay and quick on his legs ; ho fairly danced under his tent for twelve mortal hours, and was quite uproarious in his pleasant way when the judges had him out to try his paces. Spencer, wbo was said to be placed second by the judges, is a very nice 15h 3iu horse by Cotherstone ( the sire of the 560 guinea Maxi- mus), well put together, aud quite the beau ideal of a fast horse for a grass country. The Circassian, bred by Sir Tatton Sykes, and got by Pyrrhus the First, is a hunter of the same stamp, but he wauts another year over his head. Little Brownie is greatly improved since he ran for the Derby, but we were surprised to see Cock of the West and Clumsy there at all. Lascelles represented Stockbridge with no great efficieney. Berkshire sent a massive Master Rolin with a capital back; and Mr Stiggins ( who had not a few admirers), Flagellitor, by Ithuriel ( one of Lord Clifden's breeding), Stobforth a bay of great substance and looking as if he had a bend sinister in his escutcheon, made up the not very promising group, along with a two year old Arab black, witn not a bit of the Arab about him, that we could see, and a flea- bitten grey Arabian from Chuten Glen, near Christchurob, where Mr Elphinstone ( who won the prize for Channel Island cattle), is breeding hunters exclusively from Arabs. The four Arabs wore nets by way of distinction, and in spite of the heat of the day many of the other horses were kept in their sheets, which the grooms were perpetually buckling and un- buckling, Mr Elphinstone had also a chesnut and a grey Arab in the Hackney Stallion Class, which oomprised the most eccen- tric and uneven dozen that the eye of man ever scanned. First there was a lovely little twelve- hand Mexican pony, Francesco, from Glamorganshire, in the next stall to something about four hands higher. A thick young " Cleveland Improved" stood side by side with the dull Arab chesnut, something under fourteen two, whose taller grey friend had 110 " sublime hodget" tracing him back to the horses of Neptune or the Sun, but was rather vaguely described as bred by the Arabs in the desert of Arabia. Then there was something by the Flying Buck, out of a fast trotting mare ; another nearly " thorough bred hackney bay," " a hackney blood bay," a " thorough bred brown," and St Spiro, who once won the Queen's Plate at Salisbury, beating Little Harry in 1854, but was less lucky on his second trip. It was a real relief when Hotspur, whose galloping so: astonished the Dutchman on the Derby day, and whose trotting so pleased the judges to- day, loomed 011 to us; and it was soon buzzed about that he was the winner. He looks wonderfully well, clean made, and worthy the honour put upon him, but rather too short in his quarters. His owner now describes him as " nearly or quite thorough- bred," and he bore well up for the honour of Wiltshire, which The Circassian represented in the other class. Many were the lamentations of owners over horses left at home, though this safe sort of bragga- docio must be received with considerable discount. At the same time, we do hope that the owners of thorough breds will not be contented with mere local triumphs, but try to raake this part of the show a more attractive feature at Chester next year than it has ever been yet. We must have at least five hundred blood- sires in the United Kingdom, and we should like to see their choicest cullings brought together with some of the un- quenchable spirit which inspires the breeders of short- horns and sheep, and invests even pig- breeding with a sort of chival- rous halo. The business of the gathering opened on Friday week with the trials of implements for prizes. The rapidly in- creasing number of mechanical aids to husbandry having necessitated a remodelling of the society's system of pre- miums, a classification has been adopted, and the prizes for each class of implements are now competed for triennially, in- stead of every year. At Chelmsford the trials were of ploughs, harrows, clod- crushers, cultivators, and other implements used in preparatory tillage; this year they are of drills^ horse hoes, hay machines, horse rakes, reaping and mowing machines, carts aud waggons, and other apparatus employed in the cultivation and harvesting of crops. And in addition to these are the ex- periments with steam ploughs and steam cultivators, to which the public, excited by the novelties produced at Chelmsford, has for a long time looked forward with large expectation. The show was visited on Wednesday by Prince Albert, who first examined the cattle yards. With the magnificent display of horses his royal highness was much pleased, and remained near that portion of the show a considerable time. The pig- yard, which contained the largest and best assorted samples of breeds yet brought together, and the sheep pens, which were especially good in Southdown and Cotswolds, were also visited, and attentively examined. After the cattle, the implement yard was visited, and his royal highness remained some time inspecting each of the principal machines. The sowing, hoe- ing, haymaking, and some other machines have been tested on various fields, comprising about twenty- two acres, situate at Laverstock, and which had been cultivated in such a manner as to develop the special capabilities of the various implements. The curiosity among the horse- hoes is a turnip- thinner, exhibited by Messrs Howard, in which the revolv- ing cutters are attached upon discs on upright spindles, instead of on horizontal spindles, as in Huckvale's implement. Among haymakers Nicholson's improvement of hollow boxes to the wheels, as shown at Chelmsford last year, has eclipsed the celebrated machine of Smith and Ashby. The trial of reapers took place upon a field of ripe rye, near the show yard, the » style and expedition of the work assuring the light- land farmer that he need not suffer a single acre of corn to shake unreaped for lack © f harvest men, as was extensively the case last year, and affording promise to the grower of heavy and storm- broken crops that he may yet hope to possess a machine able to shear without wasting, and to save both expense and the more mo- mentous matter of time in his laborious harvesting. Undoubt- edly, the greatest novelty in this department, and one of the most meritorious and valuable pieces of machinery in the whole show, is the " Eagle " combined reaper and mower, invented by A. H. Caryl, of Sandusky, Ohio, United States, and exhibited by Mr Clayton, of the Atlas Works, Dorset- square, London. In this machine we see just the simplicity of parts and consequent lightness, the small liability to derangement in working, and yet the greatest facility of accommodation to uneven surfaces of ground and irregular and tangled crop- ing which recommend it as emphatically a tool for the farmer, his machine received the £ 200 prize in Massachusetts, after a three days' trial, in 1856. As a mower it has gained the first prize at Salisbury. Messrs Burgess and Key's reaper, with the screw platform, and also an addition in the form of a revolving conical roller, wrapped with a screw in place of the old dividing- iron, to lay the up- standing corn upon the machine, has been rewarded; as also Crosskill's Bell and Lord Kinnaird's. Dray's Hussey, with the tipping platform, which has generally been a favourite, and considered as the rival of Burgess and Key's, has been distinguished only with a commendation, the judges being resolved to patronise the principle of a self- acting delivery. On Monday the steam ploughs were ordered up to the large field purposely provided at Bishopsdown, on the crown of a hill not far from the show- yard. Mr Bnrrell's locomo- tive traction engine, fitted with Boydell's Endless Rail- way, climbed the ascent steadily and with great power, dragging after it a tender holding 1,000 gallons of water and carrying all the ploughs and tackle required. The boiler is an ordinary 8- horse power, with double cylinder engines, I reversing motion, reducing gear. work, water ta^ ij ship- steerage & c, as last year, aud weighs, when fully charged with water, ten tons. Yet this enormous weight, with the seven tons of load behind it, proceeded up an acclivity of one iu 10 or 12, the in- clination iu one place being no less than oae in seven. Mr Fowler's 10- horse engine, weighing, wo suppose, about eight tons, and made to travel of itself upon wheels with broad peri- pheries, instead of being fitted with the eDdless rails, was only able to ascend the hill by anchoring a rope ahead and hauling up to the anchor, " veering" as it were, and with a slow and laborious progress. Mr Boydell's traction engine at first failed to plough in a business- like manner, because Mr Burrell's tliree double ploughs, attached beside and behind it, cannot be pro- perly guided, and therefore ra 11 frequently out of work, necessi- tating continual stoppages and alterations of the draught chains. These ploughs being removed after the completion of the trial plot, and four of Howard's single- furrow ploughs attached, the work wae better done. But the trials have fully demonstrated the great assistance which the " endless rails" are to a locomotive for farm roads aud arable fields. Mr Collinsou Hall's engine, fitted with the same rails, represents the principle of obtaining a light locomotive bythe employment of steam of very high pressure. M r Hall very judiciously uses Mr Fowler's plough, which is cer- tainly the best ' yet produced, and makes very good and well- laid work. Mr Fowler's implement consists of two sets of ploughs combined iu a lonac frame, which is balanced in the middle upon a pair of wheels, one set of ploughs being carried in the air while the other is in work; and the ploughman, riding upon the frame, steers the whole with accuracy by altering the " lock" of the wheels. The work performed by this implement is very cre- ditable, and it is found that the furrow- slices are shaken and pulverised by the rapidity with which they are turned over. Having ploughed some thousands of acres by steam power, Mr Fowler has found the superiority of the operation to horse- ploughing generally acknowledged, and resulting in easier after- tillage and increased yields of cropping. He has now adopted the system of hauling the implement with a wire rope by an engine which shifts itself along the headland, and he employs either one engine and an anchorage, or else two engines, working one or sometimes two implements to and fro. By this plan a very much less quantity of rope is necessary than when the wind- lass and engine were fixtures, as in the scheme of last year. The present engines carry the winding- drums beneath them, sup- ported upon a framing. The self- propulsion of the engines along the headland is very easily accomplished, though it is to be wished that Mr Fowler had adopted Mr Boydell's rails, particularly in a steep and difficult travelling country like that around Salisbinfy. Mr Williams, who also hauls by means of drums and wire ropes, uses both horse and steam power, tivo ordinary portable en- gines, with windlasses attached on separato wheels, being sta- tioned at the ends of the field to haul the plough to and frcu while one horse steers the implement by a pair of shafts, and another drags the slack or return rope. Of course, this must be considered a clumsy and expensive arrangement, but w « like the lightness of the engines and windlasses, and the ready man- ner in which they propel themselves along the headland. In the showyard one of the most important departments is that devoted to " machinery in motion," where some 30 steam- engines have been busily driving 24 combined thrashing- machines, several fixed barn works, and almost innumerable mills, chaff- cutters, corn and cake- crushers, & c. The chief firms here exhibiting were Messrs Garrett, Tux ford, Clayton and Shuttieworth, Hornsby, Ransomes and Sims, Barrett and Exall, Turner, Smith, and Ashby, Dray and Co, Burrell, & c„ Among the novelties were the two small horse portable engines of Messrs Smith and Ashby and of Messrs Tnrner, which are likely to be exceedingly useful for driving chaff- cutters, turnip- slicers, and other machinery of the farmstead when it is not worth while to employ the larger engine required for thrashing. And another feature was the application of Boydell's endless rails to ordinary portable engines, so as to render them loco- motive by very simple and inexpensive mechanism. Great value will be found in this arrangement, by which the farmer's esgine can travel with its thrashing machine from one home' stead or estate to another without the assistance of horses. Mr Burrell and Mr Lee exhibit engines 011 this principle, and Mr Cambridge has one propelled by its carriage wheels with the assistance of a new kind of portable railway.

SUPPRESSION OF GAMBLING HOUSES.— On Wednesday, at the Marlborough- street police court, Abraham Levy Goodman, charged as the keeper of a gambling house, No. 28, Coventry- street, and CharlesW. Stewart, door- keeper, with thirteen other persons found in the liousfe when the police made an entry, were brought before Mr Bingham for final examination. The de- fendants were remanded from the previous examination, in order to give time to Mr Bingham to consider his judgment, the proceedings being under a aew act of Parliament,— Mr Lewis, of Ely- place, was for the defendants.— Mr Bingham said : The de- fendants Goodman and Stewart were brought to this court on the 15th of July, charged with keeping ana using a room for the purpose of unlawful gaming. It appeared that the room in question was an inner apartment, after passing through a shop, over the door of which was the inscription " Abraham Good- man, licensed dealer in tobacco." That for th j last two months, during which the shop had been watched, little tobacco or non6 had been sold, and that no stock of tobacco was found when the police entered on the 15th. At half- past one that morning a policeman tapped at the shop door. Goodman's son came out through the door of the inner apartment into the shop, and seeing the police through the window, instead of advancing to open the door, retreated to the inner apartment. The shop door was forced by the police, who, proceeding to the inner apartment, found there fifteen persons, some of them smoking cigars they had brought with them, and Goodman with a dice- box awd dice in his hand, a backgammon board being before him. Several pairs of dice were found in the apartment and adjoining shop, together with some dirty cards. A table in the apart- ment was covered with three cloths, one of them nailed on to it, and a curtain prevented any view from the shop into the apartment. The persons assembled had entered in the course of the three or four hours which preceded the visit of the police, and none of them had purchased in tho shop any tobacco or cigars. One of the visitors who had frequented the place brought a stranger with him, who was not admitted till the introducer vouched him as a friend. Three of the fifteen persons taken into custody were called as witnesses under the Act 17 and 18 Vict, c 38, which has recently come into operation. Two of them, said they had arrived only half an hour before the entrance of the police, and that during that time nothing was played but backgammon, which is not an unlawful game. The third re- fused to be examined, and preferred to submit to the penalty of a recusant witness. By 8 and 9 Vict, c 109, where any dice, tables, or other instruments of gaming are found in any house suspected to be used as a common gaming house, it shall be evi- dence, until the contrary be made to appear, that such house is used as a common gaming house. Now dice having been found in Goodman's house, suspected to be used as a common gaming house, has he made the contrary of that suspicion appear ? As- suming that backgammon was played for half an hour or there- abouts, out of the three or four hours during which the company was assembled, that circumstance seems' to me to confirm rather than to negative the inference which the statute peremptorily compels a magistrate to draw from tlio find- ing of dice in a suspected house. It is difficult to con- ceive how fifteen persons could play backgammon with one board, while it is obvious that two persons might be so employed as a blind for ten or twelve others, engaged at an unlawful game upon a table well muffled with a triple covering. And that the house was not unjustly suspected sufficiently appears from the shop- front aunouncing a business not conducted in earnest- from the retreat of the son into an inner room on the sight of the police ; from the muffled table, as well as the dice found in that room; from the hesitation to admit a stranger, until vouched for by a friend; aDd from the refusal, even under penalty/ of the most respectable of the persons apprehended to give evidence. The punishment for the offence of keeping a common gaming* house is a fine not exceeding £ 500, or imprisonment not exceed- ing one year, at the discretion of the magistrates. As Goodman is here for the first time, and as the company assembled in his house consisted not of minors, apprentices, or servants, who are too frequently tempted by the facilities of such a house to make free with their employers' property, but was composed of vete- raa. idlers, who, perhaps, might be left to compass each other- s ruin without much loss to society, a fine of £ 50 only will, as ' a commencement, be imposed on Goodman, and £ 10 oil Stewart, who acted as door- keeper. In default of payment, Goodman to be imprisoned six weeks, Stewart tea days,— Goodman said there were several backgammon boards in his house when the police entered.— Mr Lewis said tlse decision would be appealed against, and it would be for the magistrate to fix the amount of bail.— Bail for Goodman was fixed at two sureties in £ 100 each.— The other defendants were discharged. MR THACKERAY AND OXFORD CITY ELECTION.— The elec- tion of a member in tho room of Mr Neate, whose return has been pronounced invalid, took place on Tuesday. The polling commeuced at eight o'clock, ana was carried on with unabated vigour till four in the afternoon. Mr Cardwell headed the poll the whole of the day, and atone o'clock the majority in his favour was no less than 101. His opponent, however, gradually gained ground, and at the close of the poll at four o'clock the numbers were:— Mr Cardwell 1,085 ; Mr Thackeray 1,018; majority for Mr Cardwell 67. At six o'clock the mayor declared the state of the poll in the Town Hall yard, in the pr sence of an immense assemblage. Mr Thackeray then came forward to address the meeting, and was reeeived with loud aud prolonged cheering. He said : Give me leave to speak a few words to you on this occasion, for although the red white and blue are my friends, I hope to make the blue and yellow my friends also. Let me tell you a little story, but a true one. Some years ago, when boxing was more common in this country than it is at the present time, two celebrated champions met to fight a battle on Moulsey Heath. Their names were Gully and Gregson. Thev fought the most tremendous battle that had been known for many long years, and Gregson got the worst of it [ laughter]. As he was lying on his bed some time afterwards, blinded, and his eyes closed up, he asked a friend to give him something to drink. A person in the room handed him some drink and grasped him by the hand. " Whose hand is this ?" asked Greg- son; "' Tis Jack Gully's," was the reply. Now, Gregson was the man who was beaten and Gully was the conqueror, and he was the first nsan to shake him by tho hand, to show that he had no animosity against him. This should be the conduct of all loyal Englishmen, to fight a good fight, and to hold no ani- mosity against the opposite side. With this feeling ( proceeded Mr Thackeray) I go away from Oxford. With this feeling I shall have redeemed one of the promises I made you yesterday; the other I cannot by any possibility answer, because, somehow or other, our side has come out a little below the other side. I wish to shake Mr Cardwell by the hand, and to congratulate him on being the representative of this great city. After some further remarks Mr Thackeray said, before I came to Oxford I knew there was a certain question that would go against me, and which I would not blink to be made a duke or a marquis to- morrow. In March last, when I was at a dinner in Edinburgh, some friends of mine asked me to stand for the representation of their city. My answer was this :—" That I was for having the people amused after they had done their worship on a Sun- day" [ cheers], I knew that I was speaking to a people who, of all others, were the most open to scruples on that point, but I did my duty as an honest man, and stated what my opinion was [ cheers]. I have done my duty honestly to this city, aud I be- lieve that is the reason why I am placed in a minority, but I am contented to bow to that decision. I told you that I was for allowing a man to have harmless pleasures when he had done his worship on Sunday [ cheers]. I expected to have a hiss, but they have taken a more dangerous shape— the shape of slander. Those gentlemen who will take the trouble to read my books— and I shall be glad to have as many of you for subscribers as will come forward— will be able to say whether there is anything in them that should not be read by anyone's children or my own, or by any Christian man. I say, on this ground I will re- tire, and take my place, with my pen and ink, at my desk, and leave to Mr Cardwell a business which I am sure he understands better than I do [ cheers]. Mr Thackeray concluded by pro- posing a vote of thanks to the mayor, and the proceedings ibortly afterwards terminated. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 12, 1857. SPORTING CHRONICLE. [ TOWN EDITION.] THE TURF. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, JULY 20.— The room was very thinly attended, and speculation was almost at a stand- still, notwithstanding the near approach of the Goodwood meeting. The only noticeable features of a very dull afternoon were the advance of Barfleur from 3D to 1 to exactly half those odds for the Stakes, and a larg ^ outlay upon the American horse Pryor, who opened at 20 to 1 and left off at 100 to 8 ( takers). 1,000 to 100 was taken once about the two Yankees coupled- singly, 100 to 3 was offered against the mare. THURSDAY, JULY 23.— In the absence of the greater portion of the bookmakers at Stamford the attendance scarcely reached a score, and the investments were commensurately insignificant, the chief transactions being upon Fisherman at 8 to 1 to about £ 70 for the Stakes ( for which 500 to 15 was laid once against Gunboat), and 200 to 100 against Blink Bonny for the Leger; 100 to 80 was laid on the mare and Ignoramus coupled. 6 to 1 was offered on the field for the Goodwood Cup, and 10,000 even or any part of it on Gemma di Vergy against Anton— both to run.

MANCHESTER- FRIDAY EVENING. The principal business done to- day was on Floriu for the Goodwood Cup. A considerable outlay brought him first favourite, and at the close 6 to 1 would have been taken, 6 to 1 at the same time being offered against Anton. Rosati is the only one backed for largo amounts for the Goodwood Stakes, although all the horses quoted were backed for small sums. The St Leger betting was very trifling.

ME EDITOK : In your account of a match between the late General Anson and myself many years ago at the Red House, you state that he bet me £ 1,000 to £ 800 on the result. I beg to state that no such sum was betted, as it was even money, and not to so large an amount. The General was very fortunate to- wards tke close of the match in having to shoot at much easier pigeons than I had, which, iu the opinion of many good judges, decided the issue. We shot in a great many sweepstakes to- gether both before and after it, and " Jack was quite a3 good as his master." During the match Lord de Roos offered to back the General to shoot against any man in England at partridges, and Capt Ross made a match with him for £ 500 or £ 1,000. I was the Captain's umpire on the oceasion. They shot at Milden- hall. They walked in line, and the space between them was filled up with beaters. They walked so fast that a lot of fresh beaters were necessary before the conclusion of the day. About twenty minutes before the conclusion the General was dead beat, and could not keep up with the Captain, and Lord de Roos said to me that I had no right to allow ray man to walk before his! I referred him to the articles, which justified my proceedings, but his observations were not at all courteous, and they led to an offer on my part to shoot the same match against the General Shis champion), for £ 500, in a- fortnight, but it was not accepted, [' he Geueral was oae bird ahead of Ross at twenty minutes before the time expired, when the Captain was walking towards a field with a covey just settled in it. At this time Mr Greville rode up to the Captain and offered to make a draw of it, as Ross must kill one to tie and two to win, and thus the match termi- nated.— Yours, & c, GEORGE OSBALPESTON. THE DERBY AND OAKS, 1859. In the last number of the Sheet Calendar it states that " owing to the hurry occasioned by the great number of nomi- nations made for stakes which closed on the 14th inst, a few errors and omissions occurred in copying; the following ad- ditions aud corrections must therefore be made to the nomina- tions published in our Supplement :— ADDITIONS. E PSOM, 1859.— The OAKS, 173 subs. Mr Eyke's c- h f Allsaice. Mr Eyke's ch f Stir Pudding, CORRECTIONS. The DERBY, 1859. In Mr I'Anson's nominations, for Cauty Bay read Canty Bay.

Ou the 22d inst, at 1: 20 p. m., Carmel, Eclipse, Greenfinch, Result, Bacon, Cricket, Laird Duff, and Milkmaid ( dead) out of their Goodwood engagements; and Chow out of the Gratwicke Stakes. On the 20th inst, at 9 a. m., Ephorus out of all stakes at Reading and Wolverhampton for which he was entered by Mr Mather. On the 21st inst, at 6 p. m., Lady Evelyn colt out of the Lavant and Findon Stakes at Goodwood. On the 2lst inst, at 9 a. m., Ignoramus out of the Great York- siiiirG Stakes York » On the 22d* inst, at 2: 20 p. m., Sunrise and Settlement out of their Goodwood engagements.

MANCHESTER AUTUMN MEETING.— We beg to direct the attention of owners and trainers to the advertisement of this meeting, which will be found as liberal in every respect as others which have emanated from the committee of that sporting town. KNIGHTON RACES— This meeting was advertised in our last to take place ou the Friday following Wolverhampton, aud we are requested to remind owners of horses that the handicaps close with the Clerk of the Course on Tuesday next. WORCESTER RACES.— Mr Rigbry names filly by Teddington out of The Empress of Russia, must be added to the entries for the Annual Produce Stakes at this meeting for 1859. Edgware Races are fixed for the 6th and 7th of August. The Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire close aud name on the Tuesday after Goodwood. Black Tommy is advertised for sale by private contract— 2,000gs ths figure. MrT. Parr sold York after winning the Colly weston Stakes at Stamford to Lord Londesborough, for £ 800. LEWES.— Grey Chicken was entered by mistake as a two instead of five year old; his weight is, therefore, 7st 101b for the County Cup. GENTLEMEN RIDERS IN IRELAND.— Mr Editor: Allow me to give a hint to " the powers that be" respecting the qualifica- tion of riders in the Corinthian and other races in Ireland. It would be an improvement to qualify gentlemen to ride who are members of Croxton Park, Goodwood, Eglinton Park, Brookes's, and Boodlfe's Clubs. We don't exclude members of Irish Clubs in our welter races here.— Yours, & c, T. L. D. DEATH OE " JACK YOUNG."— This notorious character, whose eccentric bankruptcy we reported very fully last winter, died on the 5th inst, in a brothel at Glasgow, very suddenly, from disease of the heart. ANOTHER JOCKEY IMPOSTER.— On Tuesday last a young man representing himself as Ralph Sherwood, the jockey, formerly of Epsom, visited the town of Knighton, and as his knowledge of Sherwood's performances in the pigskin, particularly on Black Eagle, now located here, whose owner he called upon ostensibly to seek an engagement, although his ultimate object was no doubt extortion, there was some difficulty in accom- plishing his detection, his excuse for being in the neighbourhood being that he was on his way home to Epsom, after leaving the service of Mr Keegan, of the Curragh, from whom he parted on bringing Prizefighter over to the late Liverpool Meeting. He was, however, in the course of the evening " caught napping," and on a police officer being sent for he cried peccavi, and begged hard for forgiveness. He was consigned to " durance vile," and on being brought up before the magistrates on the following morning, Mr W. Edwards appeared, and proved that he was an impostor, and he was sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment with bard labour. He is about 30, clean made, rather brown com- plexion, good looking, round face, under jaw rather projecting, keen brown eye, dark hair, without whiskers, and has a weak effeminate voice. He was dressed in light drab, tight fitting trowsers, alpaca jacket, red woollen shirt, dark cloth cap, plaid scarf, with horseshoe pin, and carried a brown silk umbrella. The above portrait will no doubt be recognised by some of his victims, as he is evidently accustomed to this '' line of business," and cleverly got up for any character he inay choose to assume. We must caution the public against a fellow advertising in the name of Mr Thomas Hughes— no connection of the member of Tattersall's of that name— who changes his quarters after almost every race meeting. Several correspondents have written to complain of their inability to get their winnings, after forwarding money to him to " put on" for them. TROTTING. A match against time came off on Monday last, near Man- chester, in the presence of a considerable number of persons, including gentlemen from Liverpool, and several minor towns in Lancashire, who are admirers of contests of this description. A short time ago, Mr Battersby, of Oldham, backed his bay horse Charley, staking £ 50 to £ 50, to trot five miles in saddle, in lSsrln 40sec, and Monday was the clay agreed upon for the event to be decided; but so confident was the backer of time that the horse was unequal to the task, that he betted, on the evening of the aaatch being made, £ 100 to £ 50 against him, Charley was piloted by his owner, who weighs upwards of lOst, starting at the eighth milestone, near the Stamford Arms Hotel, at Altrincham, and finishing at the third from Manchester, which is situated at Old Trafford, on the road adjacent to the Art Treasures Exhibition. On the signal being given, Charley went away at a strong pace, and accomplished the five miles in 14min 501sec. Mr Battersby was warmly congratulated by his friends on the result. We may add that when the horse had traversed two miles he cast a shoe, and therefore, had such not been the case, it is more than probable he would have covered the distance in less time. S& r SCOTLAND.— The match between Mr Robertson's Paisley in are and Mr Morrison's Falkirk horse, for £ 100 a side, came off on Thursday, the 16th inst, over five miles of a turnpike road, in the Barrhead district, the result being in favour of the horse by about 700 yards. This event, which has been for some time pending, drew together aa immense assemblage of the sporting fraternity, the road for about half a mile from the winning post being thronged with pedestrians, riders, and vehicles. Specula- tion on the result was very limited, the mare at the last having the call at 5 and 6 to 4. The winner was very steadily ridden by Mr Cowan, who trains her, the horse being piloted by Mr M'Robbie, TO THE EDITOR OE BELL'S LIEE IN LONDON. SIR : The great Goodwood Meeting which takes place next week, reminds us of having entered upon the second half of the racing season, and although the minor gatherings in the pro- vinces have, as might have been expected, differed in compa- rison with the four day assemblages at Chester, Epsom, and Ascot, still the number of horses en route for Sussex next week, and the state of the entries must be gall and wormwood to those enemies of the Turf who are endeavouring by every means in their power to prejudice racing and racing men, in the eyes of the public. The " golden age" of Goodwood has been de- signated as that period when " the Napoleon's" dynasty was in the ascendant, and when in every race of the card his " pale bluejacket and white cap" beside the " yellow and scarlet" of the House stable, was to be found. But I am very much dis- posed to question if the " glories" of the meeting have been half so developed as of late years, when Germany and France have sent their respective champions to contend for the Cup ; and as America has now joined in the contest, the Goodwood Cup of the present year may not be unappropriately designated an " Exhibition of the Horses of all Nations." In selecting this meeting for the debut of their crack, Brother Jonathan has, I conceive, exercised a very sound discretion, as upon no course that could be chosen for them is there such a diversity of hill aud dale, and such an opportunity of trying satisfactorily their horses' stamina and fleetness: and whatever be the result of the contest in which they have embarked, our Transatlantic friends will find, despite the farrago of nonsense which was some months ago published in the New York papers, that a " clear stage and no favour" will be afforded them, aud uo trace of unfairness in point of riding exhibited by English jockeys. As yet we have only seen American trotting horses in this country, and their performances have been such as to justify the belief that American racers bred from the flower of the English steeds ought to preserve their properties in their native integrity quite as much as the roadsters, who have acquired such notoriety for them. Be this as it may, the Yankees.' first appearance will be watched with extreme curiosity, and as they have been by this time completely acclimatised, and thoroughly prepared, there can be no excuse for them ; and although we are naturally partial to the old country, no feeling of jealousy will, we are satisfied, prevent Englishmen from con- gratulating the New World victor— if entitled to that dis- tinction. The length of the sheet list warns me to proceed at once to the starting point of the programme, which has an average number of seven races for each day, the changes since last year being the addition of the Findon Stakes for two year olds, with 63 subscribers ; the transformation of the March Stakes into a selling race for two's and three's,> nd the abolition of the Anglesea Stakes, so that the " gentlemen riders" will have to defer their exhibition in the pigskin until the following week at Brighton. The opening item on Tuesday will be the Craven Stakes, which is handicapped the night before running. Next comes the Gratwicke Stakes, and although there are nineteen subscribers to it, I doubt if we shall have more than Zuyder Zee, Ayacanora, Bar One, Gaberlunzie, Chevalier d'In- dustrie, and, Mosstissima, at the post; aud, with the Chevalier's performance at Ascot in my mind's eye, I have little doubt but that he will exercise his talents successfully on this occasion, and place this stake to Mr Howard's credit. The great Three Hundred Sovereign Sweepstakes has nothing in training to interfere with Fazzoletto's chance— Mini6, his only likely opponent, not being of sufficient calibre to be feared. The Lavant has fifteen nominations, and Gin ( 5lb extra), Wilton, Harry Stanley, The Lord of Lorn, and York are likely to show. The result I have uo doubt will rest between The Lord of Lorn aud Harry Stanley, and I shall give the preference to his Lordship, who was very backward in preparation at Ascot. The Ham has a subscription of eighteen two year olds, of which the majority are " dark," and many of them can boast of very fashionable connection, Amina being half sister to The Flying Dutchman, Antiaous own brother to Andover and Antoa, Knight of Kars half brother to Stockwell and Rataplan, Blanche of Middlebie sister to Hobbie Noble and Elthiton, & c. Perhaps only one or two of these high bred young ones will show, and I am at present disposed to give my support to Antinous.'; Two other Sweepstakes still open complete the first day's bill of fare. On Wednesday, we commence with the Drawing Room, a stake which has of late years sadly fallen off in importance, and of the bad lot which figure in the subscription, Athlete and Colonist are in John Scott's stable. His representative must be mine also. A Sweepstakes of 300 sovs each, Craven Course, ought to be won by Drumour, as he has recently appeared in the betting for the Doncaster St Leger, from which it is to be inferred that he has got over his Chester infirmity. The Goodwood Stakes had originally 96 subscribers, 51 of whom declared forfeit, leaving 46 acceptances. From time immemorial one or more animals have been " milked" for this event, and in the present race Relapse has kept up the charter — with what advantage (?) to her on future occasions I will not stop to inquire. The runuers may perhaps include Fisherman, Pretty Boy, Fulbeck, Aleppo, The Earl, Sluggard, Van Dunck, Homily, Dulcamara, Squire Watt, Bird in the Hand, Martinet, Barfleur, Gunboat, Absolution, Maid of Masham colt, Elo- quence, Rosati, Somerset, Hartley Buck, Paladin, Y. Hopeful, Paula Monti, and Hobgoblin. Of these, when the weights saw the light, Rosati, Squire Watt, and Martinet were the choice of the " talents," and although the first- named fluctuated a little stone time she has now taken a firm position in the market, and, it is to be presumed, has answered the expecta- tions of her party at home. Last year her form was very moderate, aud the only time she won, Lance, who was second to her, gave her 3st 5lb. At Bath, in the Somersetshire Stakes, she looked well, and but for running against one of the posts would probably have beaten all but Cedric. In speed she is deficient, but her stoutness and staying powers are so good, and with less weight upon her than upon thirteen of the three year olds, she cannot be worth keeping in training if she does not dance away from the majority of her opponents. Fisherman and Van Dunck are both in force now, and each has been backed by their party. Van Dunck is equally adapted for this course as his stable companion, and by giving 9lb to General Williams he showod that there is more in him than meets the eye, whilst his Chester Cup performance we cannot estimate accurately, owing to the accident that he met with. Fisherman, being " himself again," has knocked three year olds over weekly in Queen's Plates, and ought to be very handy at the finish. Although the weight is " a steadier,'' it should be recolected that with only 4lb less Orelia won as a five year old, and with 41b more Chanticleer pulled through with when a year older, whilst Pretty Boy last year, when three years old, carried 7st 81b success- fully for this race. Martinet's running this year must not be compared with that of last season, when he gave Skir- misher a pound and beat him two lengths in the Goodwood Nursery, Black Tommy, carrying 31b less, being half- a- dozen lengths from him; and at Brighton with the tep weight he cut down his field with equal cleverness. In the present high handicap his claims must not be overlooked, and as the horse has evinced unmistakable evidence of being able to " stay," I think it very probable he will be in the front rank at the finish, Squire Watt gave Renown 25lb at Epsom, and beat her so cle- verly that he must have a ch ance now; and although the bul- letins from Epsom have not been of the most favourable cha. racter lately, yet, if well at the post, The Squire will take a pro- minent part in the race. Fulbeck gave promise, after Hampton, of filling the volumes of the bookmakers, but the preponderance now of layers over takers is ominous of his chance. Barfleur was in force last October in the market, but exhibited no racing pretensions iu the field, and the excuse of hi3 backward- ness when he ran for the Cesarewitch I am not indisposed to admit. This season he has done nothing to restore our confi- dence, but as he is now supported in good quarters, his claims must not be overlooked. Bird in the Hand, it is rumoured, will be found to take a more prominent flight than he did in the Derby, but I should doubt his being good enough to win. Eloquence is in at a three year old weight, which is no more than she de serves, but she so upset all the hopes of her stable in the New- market Handicap, and deceived them so about Kent, that I con- sider her too " delusive" to trust. Aleppo we know to be about five pounds better than Rogerthorpe, and as the latter could not win at Liver pool with 7st Sib, it does not say much for Aleppo's chance now. The Sluggard was hurdle racing in the spring, and just able to get through the Granby Handicap when receiving 121b from Peter Flat, which circumstance precludes the idea of his winning, or turning out even a second Sandboy_ The Earl never got beyond a mile and a half last year, and has since been under suspicion of " a leg." Homily, if in her three year old form, would make a very pleasing journey for the noble owner, but when last she showed in public, her racing powers appeared to have altogether deteriorated. Dulcamara, although so great a favourite for. the Somersetshire, could not move in that race, and he is said to be such a difficult horse to train that it was questionable if he has got over his early spring work. Pretty Boy ran two severe contests this week with Borderer at Nottingham, up to which time he exhibited none of the form with which he " astonished the natives" last season, conic, quently I cannot imagine he will repeat his victory of 1856, though he has only a stone more to carry. Somerset is not badly in when his running with M. D. is con- sidered, but is said to be a very difficult horse for a boy to ride. Hartley Buck is turned loose, and with The Borderer as a guide, the stable ought te be able to discover whether his weight will enable him to accomplish what he has hitherto been con- sidered incapable of doing, viz, to stay two miles and a half. Y. Hopeful exhibited in true form at Northampton, Paladin's performances in France have been indifferent, and Paula Monti's in this country too bad to call for further remark. Gunboat has recently been supported in " knowing" quarters, but if public running be any criterion, I don't think he will be found very formidable on this occasion, judging from the form exhibited by Companion and Grey Pyrrhus since he ran with them at Shrewsbury. Hobgoblin is another of whose merits the handicapper appears to have formed a correct estimate from past performances, but within the last four and twenty hours he has 0ome such a rattling favourite that it is only to be supposed he has been tried worthy of the support of the Danebury stable. In conclusion I must select Rosati, Martinet, Van Dauck. aad Barfleur as the most formidable lot, and of these I think the winner will be MARTINET OR VAN DUNCK. The Stewards' Cup, with its 66 subscribers, is an elaborate specimen of the art of putting horses together, and is sure to attract a large field. The shortness of the spin, however, added to the advantages or disadvantages of getting a good start in such a race, makes the result quite a lottery. In this case, therefore, I will not attempt to " pick the winner;" but merely express my belief that Katherine Logie, Tournament, Nereus, The Vigil, and Tricolor appear to be the most likely lot to furnish the winner. Three other races, at present in a skeleton form, complete this first- rate day's racing. Thursday will deside the moat interesting Goodwood Cup we have seen for many years, and as I have observed before, the field may fairly be designated an " Exhibition of the Horses of all Nations,"— the issue to be tried being whether the English racer is to maintain his supremacy against all comers. To meet the " illustrtiou3 strangers "— Florin, Potocki, and Pryor— Whitewall may bring forward Fazzoletto; Wantage, Fisherman ; Lambourne, Pretty Boy; Northleach, Melissa; Danebury, Anton, and perhaps The Flyiug Dutchman; Wood- yates, St Giles; Findon, Arsenal; Ilsley, Gemma di Vergy; and Middleham, Mongrel; therefore the reception they are likely to meet with will be a warm one, and not easily forgotten. Togive. the " foreigners" precedence. Florin, as your readers may be probably aware, was first favourite for the French Derby this year, being backed against the field, but he fell in the race immediately after starting; and on his next appearance, at Versailles, cut up very badly. He may not have recovered his nerve, however, ou that occasion; but, for my own part, I am somewhat prejudiced against his blood— Payment, his dam, could not " stay "— for so long a course. Potocki, his stable com- panion, won the French Derby very cleverly, after having, on the Sunday previously, beaten a field of sixteen in a handicap with a high weight upon him. Got by The Baron or Nunny- kirk, he is certain to " stay," and the allowance he receives from our own three year olds, added to Monarque's forward position last year, induces me to believe that he is the best of the French division, and that it is far from probable he may take a second Goodwood Cup to Paris, to stand by the side of that won by Mons Lupin with Jouveuce in 1853. Hitherto, Floriu has en- grossed most favour in the market here, but I am assured that all the trainers and jockeys on the other side of the water, as well as those capable of judging who have seen both horses run for all their engagements this year, " stand" Potocki, who has all the wear and tear about him for so severe a course. Pryor ( the American), to the eye, is a race horse all over, and is said to have had a wonderful trial by time— a " shave" was afloat at the close of week that he had " been and dusted over" Anton. Of course, under these circumstances, it is impossible to form any correct conclusion of his merits, and although Brother Jonathan is generally so cute in his business transactions, I am disposed to calculate that his investments here will not prove so profitable as could be wished, to repay the spirited proprietor of the horses for his enormous expense iu transporting his racing establishment to this country. During Stockbridge races, Pryor was reported by the " touts" to go short aud stumpy, and the weather since has hardly been such as to induce one to believe it would improve his action. So much for the " foreigners," and now a word for the " natives." Fazzoletto has been backed at intervals for this race, and were he as sound as Canezou, might win Lord Derby a third Goodwood Cup; but his infirmity is notorious, and as he has another engagement to- day, for which he is far more likely to show, I do not expect to see Fazzoletto's number up as a Cup starter. Fisherman's chance will of course iu a great measure depend upon his running in the Stakes. I expect to see him beat all the top weights, unless Melissa should come out in her last year's form, in which case I should almost prefer her chance to that of anything in the race. Pretty Boy I have no fancy for. Gemma di Vergy, it is said, will be objected to under " Con- dition A;" but the effort to " disfranchise" him, if only made on the grounds which are represented now, will, I believe, be ineffectual. As a racehorse, Gemma is one of the best three year olds of the season, and his last race with Sauuterer in the Ascot Cup, though beaten by Skirmisher, is enough to warrant my giving himaplace, for there is uo three year old in the race that he would not beat even handed at even weights; and if permitted to go to the poll, Gemma may probably find himself at the head of it. Arsenal beat Strathnaver so easily at Ascot that had he not been stopped in his work from an accident which occurred to him shortly afterwards, he would have been first favourite now. No horse is better bred . to stay over this course thau Arsenal, although his shoulders may not enable] him to get down the hill in the same style that he finished up it at Ascot; but having been fortunate enough to secure the 5lb allowance, through never having won £ 100 ( although the Queen's Vase is valued at exactly three times as much) contrary to the expressed opinion of some of the highest Turf authorities, I am disposed to believe that if well on the day Arsenal's name may be heard of to advantage. Next year, from the revelation which the stewards' decision in this case has created, a clause imposing a penalty for the winner of the Queen's Vase ; ought undoubtedly to be added to the conditions. Antou has been backed for a large sum since his race with Ignoramus.' gAaton, however, has been too often before us this year to make me believe that even Nat can alter his form, and both Arsenal and Gemma appear to me cer- tain to beat him. St Giles in the spring ran a great horse when he beat Skirmisher at Northampton. He afterwards " went to pieces," and should he have recovered his form, Woodyates will indeed be dangerous. At present no noise has been made about him, but the stable when in earnest seldom bring their favourites till the last moment. Mongrel may prebably be re- servedfor his York engagements. Looking at therace on the broad scale, without flattery or affection for either horse or owner, and putting the public running of the candidates together, I can come to no sounder conclusion than that [ the winner will be found either in GEMMA DI VERGY OR POTOCKI. The Findon Stakes is a valuable addition to the oard of to day, as 110 fewer than 66 two year olds are to be fouud in the entry. I shall not attempt to name the winner in such a collec- tion, as so much will depend upon previous public running; but from those we have seen out I must give the preference to Deceiver and The Lord of Lorn, whilst from the " dark" division perhaps Excelsior and Supple Jack may be found capable of earning a reputation. The Zetland Stakes being iu all probability likely to be com- promised, I pass on to the Four Year Old Bentinck Memorial, which, out of its 31 nominations, appears likely to be confined to Fazzoletto, Aleppo, Melissa, aud perhaps another or two. It is a long journey for " Fazz," and I shall be fully prepared to see Aleppo, if in his Stoekbridge form, lower his colours. The Three Year Old Bentiuek Memorial will give us the last peep at Blink Bonny prior to Doncaster, and if she won it easily last year, her task now is likely to be only an exercise gallop for her. The Chevalier aud Sydney may probably oppose the great Northern " flyer." The Two Year Old Triennial has thirty- six nominations, and public running points to Deceiver and John Scott's represen- tative as the most promising candidates. Of the " dark" division, I hear flattering accounts of The Friar and Rocket. The Racing Stakes includes a very moderate lot, of which Bird- in- the- Hand may turn out the best. In the Two Hundred Sovereign Sweepstakes, for two year old colts, I shall expect to see the Cymba colt recompense his owner for his mortifying defeat at Stockbridge; and the similar stake for two year old fillies, I imagine, will be flown away with to the same stable by Humming Bird. The Molecombe, like many of the other stakes, is dependent upon its penal chances, but if Lord of Lorn has no extra weight I should be iuclined to stick to him, and my second vote must be given to Wilton. Friday's list is quite as attractive as either of the previous days, The Nursery aud the Chesterfield Cup still preserve their relative importance, and although we shall miss the perform ance of the gentlemen riders, the races which have been sub- stituted for them will, I dare say, make amends for the disap pointment to a certain number of aspirants to the honours of the pigskin. The Nursery Handicap has 45 subscriptions, being a few less than last year. The penalties which may be incurred in the course of the week prevent me offering a decided opinion upon the result, further than to remark that Jack Horner, Dispute, Scribbler, and Yaller Gal by Woolwich may be found to verify our recommendation of their chances. The Chesterfield Cup has an entry of forty- three, three- fourths of which are three year olds, who are variously engaged during the week. As in the Nursery, therefore, it is impossible to offer any decided opinion upon their respective chances, but as the handicap at present stands Katherine Logie, Tricolor, Hob goblin, and Peeping Tom ought to run respectably. The Nassau Stakes has nine fillies engaged, of which The Vigil has most attractions for me, A Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each, Cup Course, for four year olds, must fall to the lot of Rogerthorpe. The re- constructed March Stakes for two's and three's has thirty subscriptions, and as the winner is to bo sold for £ 300, it would be premature even to guess at the result now, A Match for £ 300 a side between Lord of Lorn and Ancient lions that never produced a winner of 100 sovs allowed 31b, if both 6lb ; the second to receive 100 sovs out of the stakes; T.

On tne summit of the sphere is placed amidst cleuds and smoke, the car of Phceous, irom which his ill- fated and ambitious son, Phaeton, is falling, struck by a thunderbolt which Jupiter, to save the universe from destruction, has launched at his breast. The falling figure of the reckless incendiary, the terror of the norses, and the accessorial parts, the shattered chariot, & c, form a most admirable group. The moment of the story of the poet is well chosen and well expressed, and is an able illustration of Addison s translation of Ovid :— " At once from life and from the chariot driven. Th' ambitious boy fell thunderstruck from heaven. The horses started with a sudden bound, And flung the reins and chariot to the ground. The studded harness from their necks tkey broke: Here fell a wheel, and here a silver spoke; Here were the beam and axle torn away, And scattered o'er the earth the shining fragments lay; The oreathless Phaeton, with flaming hair: Shot from the chariot like a falling star." The moral is obvious. Let no young gentleman presume to drive four blood horses m hand, until he is perfectly master of the ribands, and let him be not too eager in exercising the thong on his cattle. The second " oup" is from a design and model of Mr F. Hunt and has been manufactured at the establishment of Messrs Hunt and Roskill, of Bond- street, silversmiths to the Queen. It consists of a vasa of very elegant outline, the handles of which are formed of lilies of the valley, which give an appear- ance of lightness to the design, and are peculiarly graceful. On the stem is a medallion portrait of Shakspere, and on the body of the vase are two oval medallions, each of which contain, in relief, a scene from the " Midsummer Night's Dream." In one is represented the quarrel of Titania and Oberon, and the flight of the former with her attendant fairies: , " Fairies, away . , We shall chide downright, if I longer stay." And on the otaer is seen Titania asleep, and Oberon applying the magic j u ice to her eyes: " I know a bank whereon the wild thyme grows. There sleeps Titania," & c, & c. . The summit of the cup is surmounted by a cupid, who is play- ing on an antique lyre. The whole is a fine specimen of modern art, the finish being very elaborate. This vase is oxydised, which takes off the glare of the metal, and brings out the statuette and the reliefs with great felicity of effect. The third " Cup" has been manufactured at the establishment of Mr Hancock in Bruton- street, whose talent and experience has reached perfection in this class of art, and secured him a ^' deiy extended reputation. The " Cup" is designed and modelled by Mr Armstead, of whose talent we have had repeated opportunities of declaring our appreciation. It is m the style of the renaissance, and is a produo- of the highest order of beauty. The story of Queen Llizabeth reviewing her army at Tilbury, accompanied by the Earl of Essex, and other worthies of the day, when this country was threatened by a Spanish invasion, is told by the artist in his accustomed spirited manner; and all the accessorial additions are in a style of equal fidelity and spirit. Portions of the design are oxydized, and the rest left bright, or in the natural tints of the metal. The effect of this is good; and by means of it, those parts which more particularly display the merits of the design are brought out with a broader effect ot light and snadow. It is a masterly specimen of modern sculp- ture in silver, and will obtain the praise which genius, combined with assiduity aud experience, demand. RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS, & c. We have elsewhere given ample details of the magnificent pro- mise of sport at the forthcoming Meeting, which commences on Tuesday aud terminates on Friday; and judging therefrom- together with the likelihood of favourable weather, we may expect the festival to equal if not exceed auy former anniversary. The continuance of the festivities aud hospitalities at Goodwood House ( where, according to custom, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond will entertain a large circle of distinguished visitors), will provide against any falling off in the attendance of the fashionable portion of the community; whilst judging from the excellent railway arrangements ( as advertised elsewhere) the general public will be also largely represented. The London- Brighton, and South Coast Company, with their usual foresight, have endeavoured to accommodate all classes of visitors; and the arrangements made by Mr Sleight ( the secretary), and Mi- Hawkins ( the able superintendent of traffic) are most complete- In addition to the ordinary trains a Special Express will leave London Bridge station on each day of the Meeting at nine and ten o'clock in the morning, returning from Chiches- ter and Drayton immediately after the termination of % e races. A " cheap train" will leave London Bridge for Drayton ( the station nearest the course) at seven o'clock on the mornings of Wednesday and Thursday— the " Stakes" and " Cup" days— returning from Chichester at half- past seven in the evening. The South Western Railway also will not be found wanting in adding to the general convenience of visi- tors, as we hear they intend running extra trains between Ports- mouth and Chichester— au arrangement which will materially benefit those located at Southsea Common, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight. The accounts that have reached us from the district report au extensive demand for accommodation at the watering- places on the coast and other localities in the vicinity of Goodwood, and we would therefore suggest to those who have not yet secured quarters to lose no time in doing so. THE GOODWOOD CUPS. The " Cups" which will be ruu for this week at Goodwood are, as on former occasions of a similar nature, three in number, and are the results of great artistic skill and great progress in the manufacture of the precious metals ; indeed, so marked is the improvement in the design, execution, and manufacture of these sporting prizes, that, at the risk cf being charged with praise too eulogistic, it is our duty to speak of them in the terms they deserve, and to give honour where honour is due. To say that they are very elegant, very beautiful, and so forth, would scarcely be doing justice to the artists or the manufacturers, and would be a very commonplace kind of compliment, and much below their merits. They are, in point of fact, works of the most refined taste, and of the highest order of art, and display considerably more invention and more genius than is to be seen in most of the larger and more pretending easts or pieces of sculpture, with which certain streets and squares of this great metropolis are somewhat ludicrously said to be adorned. But as comparisons are odious, we shall avoid them, observing, however, that if the huge and cumbrous perpetra- tions of bronze which have taken possession of several well- known localities, had possessed but a tenth part of the merit of some of these " cups," we should have been less exposed to the derision of foreigners, and better satisfied with our own claims to eminence in art. The first of the " cups" we are about to describe, is modelled by Mr Spencer, a young and rising artist, and manufactured in silver at the establishment of Messrs Garrard, goldsmiths to the Crown, Panton- street, Haymarket. The design is thus:— Atlas is represented suppjrtiag the celestial sphere, cn which are Horses marked * are in the Derby, t in the Oaks, t in the Leger^ nottingham eaces. Stewards: Earl of Glasgow, and Earl of Wilton. Judge: Mr R. Johnson. Starter: Mr Elliott. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. Bradfield, Few provincial towns, certainly none in the midland circuits have latterly gone ahead in sporting matters to the extent of the Nottingham lieges, whose liberality, judging from new attrac- tions that annually increase, the scheme may not yet have at- tained the culminating point. On this occasion the Forest Plate, introduced into the second day's list, supplied the fourth event, including the " Nursery," with its liberal bonus, now decided over the new half- mile course, and with other items propor- tionably alluring, crowned with the principal handicap, with a couple of hundreds added, the entire cash contributed amounted to exactly £ 900. Such munificence deserves commensurate support, nor can it be maintained that any particular luke- warmness was exhibited in this instance, and, as for the Ring it was never better represented. Money, however, will not at all times bring horses to the post; but, in spite of detrac- tions that at the middle of the season invariably affect meetings so fixed, and especially those immediately pre- ceding the most delightful sporting carnival of the year, it fortunately happens that ou the whole the return for Mr Brad- field's diligence and skill has proved extraordinarily remunera- tive aud satisfactory. Improvements on the course have rapidly succeeded since his accession to the clerkship, the latest in pro- gress being the beautifying of the chief entrance to the ground with ornamental earthwork, pallisading, and the erection of a prettily designed lodge for a ranger of the course and the ad- jacent forest; a cell at the base of the building also affording " accommodation" for the disorderly, and those unwilling to distinguish between raeum and tuum. Unluckily for an im- mense division with whom recreation of any kind is centred in the weather, Tuesday turned out wet and dreary. Consequently in place of the myriads of pleasure folk that otherwise would have thronged the favourite hill at the back of the Stand, was now scattered a fleet of umbrellas. By some the showers were deemed acceptable as related to the turf, but being " always in order," the latter did not stand in need thereof. The Trial Stakes, with which business commenced at a quarter to two, re- solved itself into au extra race for youngsters, as the half dozen nominations handed in on the previous evening proved, strange enough, to be all two year olds. Of the five sporting silk, Honeystick and Polly Johnson were equally fancied, the colt having the call at the close, the filly being out of her distance, was defeated in a canter. The winner was claimed for 600 sovs by Mr Sutton. Four next started for the Sherwood Handicap, which, after a magnificent set- to between Captain Little and Mr Thompson, on Prince of Orauge and Courtenay, was won almost on the post by the former, making the fourth winner the gallant captain has piloted for this prize, two of them being for Messrs Saxon and Barber. Betting was nearly a dead letter on the Castle Plate that succeeeded: Oltenitza, upon whom a mere trifle was invested, showed a'return to her best form, by giving her op- ponents the slip directly after starting, and winniug iu a com- parative walk. The event of the day— by no means exempt from the " moves" distinguishing other handicaps that have recently preceded it— stood next for decision. On Monday, whilst King of the Gipsies was technically " boiled" in London and Man- chester, at Nottingham 2 to 1 was taken freely. Rumours at the latter place on the following morning that he was a non- starter theu incited a rush to get on Janet, who as speedily was sent to the right about when the number of his Majesty was displayed on the telegraph. At a point less The Borderer re- ceived considerable attention, and not a few of the " north- ern lights" invested their " tin" in confidence of Pretty Boy repeating his triumph of last year, though Mr Barber declared to win with Hamlet. The race was the finest wit- nessed for this handicap since its establishment, seeing that from the " near thing" at Ihe finish between five out of seven runners, it was impossible to name the winner until The Borderer's figure was hoisted. " Castors" were shied in the belief that Hamlet had pulled through, but from the positions of the leading trio, as indicated in our appended de- tails, it will be seen that the point was essentially for the judges's determining, attended even to that vigilant functionary with no ordinary difficulty. A policeman standing on the course was knocked down by Hamlet a few yards beyond the chair, and the " Peeler," we regret to add, suffered fractures of two ribs, and other injuries. It may also be noted that, prior to starting a dismal gloom settled on the course, at the far extre- mity of which colours were undiscernible. This happily cleared off before the half- dozen reached the post for the County Mem- bers' Plate, in which a " pot" on Admiral of the White was cap- sized by Fashion, who, at the hammer, found a new owner at an advance of 35 guineas upon her selling price. Maggie Lauder was first| selecfed for the Robin Hood Stakes, next on the card, but was eventually supplanted by Night Ranger, who, however, dis' appointed his" backers, by cutting it . when collared a short distance from home, leaving Maggie to win without difficulty. Chester, with odds on him, cantered away with the Shorts, Selling Stakes, and his stable companion, Lady Aintree ( better known as Stormsail), was claimed tinder the new rule. Sunshine tempered with a gentle breeze favoured operations on" Wednes- day, when, with so strong a eard ( the eight races having filled), it was a matter of general complaint that an earlier commence- ment than a quarter past two was not resolved on. The new race, the Forest Plate, brought out the largest field of the meet- ing, and the favourite, Oltenitza, losing start, it proved an easy victory for Miss Nightingale. In the Juvenile Stakes Lady Conyngham as unexpectedly got bowled over by Thornhill, who by his sale subsequently enriched the Fund to the amount of 90 guineas. Half- a- dozen contested the Chesterfield Handicap, fer which Queen Bess was in great force. She, however, failed in her effort at the finish, and suffered defeat by a rank outsider in Cockatoo. An interesting race succeeded for the Nursery Plate, Hesperithusa being a great " pot," but the " talents" were again wide of the mark, as the final struggle was confined to Maggie Lauder and Con- ductor, and though drawing it fine the mare won cleverly. Unusual interest was excited by the meeting of The Borderer and Pretty Boy for the Queen's Guineas, but the latter, with odds on him, only added fresh disappointment to hi3 backers, as lying a little out of his ground towards the close of the race, the effort to turn the tables on his conqueror of the previous day proved unavailing. Unlike the sorry affoir of 1856, when Gemma di Vergy walked over, the Bunney Park Stakes now attracted a fair field and afforded a capital race. Princess Royal was a " hot un," until some of the steel was taken out of her* in a long' gallop on her own account prior to the start; thfcn getting off badly she took no part in the actual contest, much to the chagrin of her numerous supporters. In the triumph of Terrific after a splendid struggle with Honeystick, the fielders scored their sixth win amidst considerable tumult and excitement, which reached its highest pitch when in the Grand Stand Plate, Thornhill, with 4 to 1 OH him, succumbed to Chester by a neck; the party of the latter, as a retaliation, claiming the favourite directly the horses were clear of the chair. Another much fancied " pot" on Katherine Logie for the Portland Handicap boiled over in the altogether unlooked- for success of Barbarity, so that more futile attempts to " spot" the winner in every iustance are probably not ou record. The last- mentioned event terminated by far the most successful meeting held under the present management. Every exertion was made to fetch up some three- parts of an hour lost in getting the horses from the post for the first race— no fault of Mr Elliott's, whose starting was generally approved. With so great an afternoon's racing, we are sure that it only requires mention to obviate at the ensuing anniversary the late beginning already referred to, espe- cially as here no interest is served by detaining the company on the ground till seven o'clock. Exactitude in each department was otherwise well observed, and to Mr Bradfield are due the thanks of his neighbours and the whole sporting community for efforts which, whether relating to the handicapping or manage- m ent of the business, were never brought to bear more efficiently. TUESDAY, JULY 21— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, for two year olds and upwards; the winner to be sold for 600 sovs ; one mile; 6 subs.

The latter, with the favourite and the Ellerdale's dam filly in immediate attendance, made play at her best pace to the distance, where she was joined by Honeystick, who deprived her of the lead in a few strides, and won easily by two lengths ; three lengths between second and third; Sampson was last throughout. The winner was claimed for 600 sovs by Mr. R. Sutton, aud goes into Dover's stable, at Hedncsford.

Getting the best ef the start, Caliph went away with a com- manding lead, Prince of Orange lying second, Courtenay third, and Mr Sykes in the rear. TVith wide intervals separating each, they ran in these positions to the half mile course, where the favourites drew upon the Hambletcn horse, whose bolt was shot outside the distance. A severe struggle then took place between the Prince and Courtenay, who ran locked together, the latter having a trifle the best of it to the upper end of the enclosure, where the Captain made his final effort, and won a splendid race by a head; three lengths between second and third; Caliph beaten off. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 12, 1857.

Iu the next hundred yards Young Hopeful resumed the lead, and at the M a n s f i e l d turn was about a length in advance of Mr Barber's pair, of whom Hamlet lay second to the distance, where, on the retirement of Young Hopeful, he was left in possession of the lead. Borderer then drew forward,, and waiting on. the light weight to the Stand, wrested from him kis advantage m the last h » lf rfwm stiid^ and won a splendid race by a head. A neck onlv separated Pretty Boy and Hamlet, the former finishing Sndefthe iudge's box, and the other on the opposite side of the Z r s e , with the winner nearly in the middle of the course. The favourite a head from Pretty Boy, defeated Young Hopeful, who, while KoinK forward, slipped on to his haunches at the bottom turn by t h e J a n e t was tolerably well up with the latter, Apathy, lMt all the way was beaten off.

Queen Bess next joined the front, and lay at Cockatoo's girths to the distance, where Bracken compounded, and Blight on the inside joined the leading pair. A smart struggle with the trio ensued, but nothing reached Cockatoo, who won cleverly by half a length, the same dividing second and third.

The Dupe colt finished about a length from the third, Trot fifth close up with him, Madame Ristori sixth, Ambrosia seventh, Prince of Denmark, who lost start, next, the last home being iEthon, who turned in a contrary direction when the flag fell.

The Borderer and Apathy, two or three leneths in advance of Renown and the favourite, cut out the work side by side at an indifferent pace for about three quarters of a mile, after which the former indulged in a slight lead to the Mansfield turn, between which and the distance Apathy showed in advance for rather more than a hundred yards," but being in trouble directly afterwards, he gave way to The Borderer, Renown, and Pretty Boy, the latter of which made his effort halfway up, but failed to overhaul The Borderer, who won easily by a length; two lengths between second and third, Apathy a bad fourth.

When the flag was dropped Terrific showed in front for about fifty yards, when Saxony took up th « running, followed by Terrific, Bess Lyon, and Honeystick. Turning into the straight, Georgie came round her horses on the whip hand, and showed slightly in advance to the distance, where Honeystick obtained the lead, and held it to the Stand, opposite which Terrific came again, and won cleverly by a neck, the third finishing as far from the second, half a length in advance of the fourth.

GOODWOOD STAKES. 10 to 1 agst Fisherman I 1, S00 to 35 agst Sluggard 25 to 1 —- Eloquence I GOODWOOD CTTP. 7 to 1 agst Fisherman( tk) STAMFORD RACES. Stewards : Lord Londesborough and Hon G. W. Fitzwilliam. Judge : Mr Clark. Clerk of the Scales : Mr Manning. Clerk of the Course and Starter : Mr T. Standwell. Various reasons have been assigned for the paucity of sport latterly shown at the aristocratic gathering on the Burghley demesne. It, however, can no longer be attributed to clashing with Nottingham, the meeting at which town fell quite opportunely on this occasion, seeing that, but for contiguity of the two places, numbers of racing men would not have wended their way to Stamford. The management may perhaps now cast about for some new cause of failure, which, if increase of races be sought for, will, we presume, be found in the retention of high- figured sweepstakes, that in most other districts have long since been superseded bv small subscriptions and corresponding forfeits. It may be that parties would rather preserve the select character and antiquity of the meeting, in which case none more than ourselves would be sorry to impede the following of such a beut, but otherwise our remarks are dictated on behalf of the public, that they may have sport, and plenty of it. Apart from these matters, there is not a town in the kingdom provided with a finer course, surrounded with scenery just now maguiticent, in woodland, dale, and waving acres of golden corn. The skies too, were appropriately propitious, and long rows of vehicles contained a most gailyattired representation of the fair sex. Amongst the nobility occupying the " state compartment" of the Grand Stand, were the Marquis of Exeter, Lord and Lady Londesborough, and Miss Denison, Lord aud Lady Claude Hamilton, the Earl of Dalkeith, Lord Ciifden, Earl of Burghley, Lord William Powlett, Lord De Maulev, the Hon Admiral Rous, Hon G. W. Fitzwilliam, & c. On the arrival of the party from " the House," at half- past two o'clock, on Thursday, three competitors ( mounted some time previously and in waiting) were despatched for the Stamford St Leger, which, however, was shorn of all interest from the belief that nothing possessed the ghost of a chance with Sir Colin. The latter, however, soon after starting, supplied an illustration of the oft- quoted adage, by bolting and subsequently depositing himself and rider in some thick brambles; Turbit therefore won easily. The Plate presented by the Marquis of Exeter was next walked over for by Ulysses, who according to conditions became thereby entitled to only half the money. The Collyweston Stakes, after some chops and changes as to which should be favourite, went off in a match between York and Bess Lyon, the former winning in a canter. An interesting struggle for the Burghley Stakes, for which six ran, resulted in a dead heat between Tame Deer and Turbit; but further eking out of the afternoon's diversion was prevented by The Marquis dividing with Mr Mellish, whereupon Tame Deer walked over. On Friday the racing commenced at half- past three, the forenoon, as usual, having been occupied at the Wothorpe Stud Farm, where, of 22 lots, including brood mares and yearlings, offered for sale by the Messrs Tattersall, four only found purchasers. Of the yearlings, a ch c, by Stockwell out of Tippet, was knocked down to Lord Londesborough for lOOgs. and a ch c by Stockwell out of Little Fairy ( Nathan's dam), realised 300gs. The latter goes into Reeves's stable at Epsom. The attendance at the sale was much larger than was anticipated, and when joining others at the course made up one of the most numerous assemblages ever gat hered in this delightful neighbourhood. Much in the improvement way as has been attempted by Mr T. Standwell, his exertions are now the less appreciable, because frustrated by conditions above referred to, aud the particularly hard ground, in neither of which he had hand. As the Selling Stakes did not fill, the sport to- day occupied little more than an hour! and a half; but, under these circumstances, the utmost difficulty was experienced by the Londoners in getting away by the " express." These annoyances ought to be provided against on future occasions, and it behoves the authorities, moreover, in order to prevent a recurrence of the numerous accidents which have occurred in recent years, to alter the position of the winning post, so as to afford jockeys more room to pull up their horses.

On Fordham's endeavouring to bring him back again matters were made worse by the horse rushing into some bushes, and unshipping Fordham, who escaped with a few scratches only. Turbit then took up the running, and won easily by a length. Run in 2min 21sec.

Vandal, with Pantomime at his heels, went off with the lead, succeeded by Neva aud Prince of Orange, Tame Deer lying next, and Turbit in the rear. They ran in this order to the bushes, where Pantomime took up the running, but in a few strides Sir Charles Monck's horse resumed the command. At the far side Turbit took third place, and with Tame Deer in attendance, the latter pair waited on the leaders until turning into the straight course, entering which Prince of Orange shot to the fore, but as speedily fell back into his former position. Pantomime then beat a retreat, and Vandal following just inside the distance a fine struggle ensued between the favourite and Turbit, which resulted in a dead heat. Vandal finished three lengths from the second, double that interval dividing the others, with the exception of Prince of Orange, who did not pass the post. Run iu 4min 9sec. Subsequently the owners divided and Tame Deer walked over.

With the mare in advance, they cantered for about a mile, after which the favourite, with Huntington lying second and Turbit last, made the running to the straight course the last time. Turbit then became the follower of the mare, and reached her quarters at the half- distance, but swerving at the Stand, destroyed what then appeared to be an excellent chance, aad was defeated by a neck, Turbit subsequently repeating the jumping performance as in the previous race. Huntington trotted in a long way behind the others. Run in 7min 45sec.

Wynne, Sir Matthew W. Ridley, Mr Thornhill, Mr Meynell Ingram, Mr T. J. Drake, Mr Lort Phillips, Captain Percy Williams; The Stewards having laid before the Committee all the papers relating to the Cheshire Hunt dispute, the following resolutions were agreed to unanimously :— " First. That the committee approve of the proceedings of the stewards in this case, and confirm the judgment given by them. " Secondly. That, having considered the statements published by Mr Mainwaring, the committee see no grounds for re- opening the case, as they are satisfied that the fact of his having been warned off from several considerable estates, some ofwhicharein the best part of the county, and on which fact alone the whole judgment rests, is clearly proved, to an extent which renders him unable to fulfil the terms of his engagement as manager, and that the subscribers are, on that account, justified in desiring him to resign, and in refusing to continue to subscribe to him. A letter to the stewards from the secretary to the Cheshire Hunt was read, stating that ' The subscribers are still so anxious to do all that lies in their power to terminate the dispute without going to law, that they venture to ask whether the committee would again kindly take the case into their consideration, and whether, supposing Captaiu Mainwaring were to consent to give up the hounds on the lst of August, they could suggest any means, or make any proposal, that would be likely to lead to an amicable settlement.'— Resolved, " Thirdly. That the committee decline to re- open the case, as they consider Mr Mainwaring bound as a gentleman to submit to the award already given by the stewards. " Fourthly. That they fully enter into the feelings of the subscribers in desiring an amicable settlement, and as they can well understand that they may be unwilling to insist on Main waring being subjected to the expenses he has incurred in th9 maintenance of the establishment since the lst of April without making him some further allowance, they have no objection ( if the offer is made without prejudice to their award in the event of its being refused) to their paying him the whole of the present halfyear's subscription, on condition that he resigns on the lst of August, when the second year of his management will close ; and if the subscribers are still disposed to add the £ 200 which they proposed to give him to meet any possible loss occasioned by the termination of the agreement before the time first appointed, the committee will be glad to find this part of the stewards' award still attended to, although they cannot consider Mr Mainwaring entitled to claim any such indulgence, his retirement being rendered necessary on account of his inability on personal grounds to fulfil his contract with the subscribers. " The committee desire to express their entire approval of the manner in which the subscribers have acted throughout this reference, and they suggest to them and to the members of other hunts, the expediency of inserting in future agreements the condition that, in the event of any difference arising as to the obligations of either party under the same, the questions shall be referred to the M. F. H. Committee, to whose decision beth parties shall be bound to submit." The subscribers, on receiving these resolutions, directed their soliciiors, Messrs Hostage and Blake, to forward them to Captain Mainwaring's solicitors, Messrs Frere and Co, which thfiy did with the following letter :— " Northwich, June 24,1857. " DEAR SIRS : We enclose a copy of resolutions of the M. F. H. Committee, with reference to the dispute between Captain Main « waring and the subscribers to the Cheshire Hunt. " The contents of the enclosure, as well as this letter, will, of course, be without prejudice. " We are now prepared to state that, in accordance with the unanimous recommendation of the committee, the subscribers would pay Captaiu Mainwaring the half- year's subscription up to August next, and would also pay the £ 200 mentioned in the award, on condition of Captain Mainwaring's resignation on the lst of August next. " We have to request, on the part of the subscribers, that we may be favoured with as early an answer as may be convenient;, — Yours, & c, " HOSTAGE AND BLAKE. " Messrs Frere and Co, Solicitors, London." Messrs Frere and Co replied, on behalf of Captain Mainwaring; but the subscribers regret that they are precluded from publishing any of their letters, as those gentlemen have refused to allow them to appear in the papers. The following extract from a letter from Messrs Hostage and Blake to Messrs Frere, of July 7th, will best explain the position in which the question stands :— " We are directed by the subscribers to the Cheshire Hunt, in reply to your letters of 30th June and lst inst, to express their regret to find that you consider Capt Mainwaring has nothing to do with the M. F. H. Committee,' and that their opinion is worthless, as they have no grounds for forming a judgment, and no authority, " The subscribers presume that the judgment of the M. F. H. Committee, as formed on Capt Mainwaring's letter, desiring to become a member, and on his subsequent written acknowledgment, that he was bound to consider himself such, and that on these grounds, seventeen M. F. H., assembled at a meeting of the committee, unanimously resolved that Capt Mainwaring is bound, as a gentleman, to submit to the decision of the stewards, to which he voluntarily bound himself to submit by becoming a member of the Committee. " This resolution is overwhelmingly powerful with those who recognise the rules which are held by gentlemen to bind gentlemen more strongly than Acts of Parliament; and the subscribers are still unwilling to believe that Captain Mainwaring can have desired you to announce to them that he intends to take up the position of one who refuses to recognise these rules." 1 In reply, Captain Mainwaring's solicitors declined any but a legal argument, and demanded payment of the subscription, which has been refused. Henry Nason has succeeded Robert Tinslow as huntsman, and Charles Roberts is first whip to the Linlithgow and Stirlingshire Hounds. Acceptances for the LAMINGTON WELTER CUP of 25 gs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, 2 f t ; gentlemen riders; professionals 71b extra ; two miles ; 11 subs, 3 of whom declared.

The Coquetdale Club— resuscitated, and under the direction of a committee, with a paid secretary— will open its season of 1857 with every prospect of success. The Autumn Meeting will be held upon large grass enclosures, unequalled for public coursing in the north of England. The rules and regulations of the club, practically formed, will, it is anticipated, make smooth the rough ways which have unfortunately too much characterised late coursing meetings. Hares are expected to be found in abundance, and with a judge and slipper of tried excellence, and an assurance that every one entering a dog shall have their interest fairly regarded, the officials fully expect a bumper meeting. A brown retriever bitch belonging to Mr J. B. Richardson, of Alloa, N. B., had the extraordinary number of thirteen puppies, on the 19th inst. In our paper of the 12th inst, Belle of Nottingham was returned to us as by Bedlamite out of Queen of Hearts; it should bare been by Bedlamite out of Gillitt's Girl of Kent. 17,18 Mr M'George.... not fixed 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 12, 1857. aquatic register.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB The appointed monthly meeting of this club was duly held on Monday evening, when those members who were absent will be gratified to leam that the club received a most important and valuable accession in the appointment of Mr A. Arcedeckne, High Sheriff of Suffolk, and Commodore of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, to the post of Rear- Commodore, vacant by the recent promotion of Mr Kirby to the vice, owing to the lamentable indisposition and consequent retirement of Captain Andrews. In bringing the matter forward, the Commodore, Mr Jas. Goodson, said " Your circulars have informed you that the Sailing Committee recommend that the office of rear- commodore be filled up, and propose that A. Arcedeckne, Esq, be the gen- tleman appointed. I need n ® t tell you that Mr Arcedeckne is a gentleman well known in the aquatic world, not only on| the Thames, but at Harwich and different parts of the coast; nor need I tell you that he enjoys the esteem of every one who has the honour of his acquaintance, aud such being the position in which he stands, it affords me the highest pleasure of having the opportunity of proposing hini as your rear- commodore. His k, now » capabilities as a yachtsman, his position in society, and his urbanity in every transaction of life, render him a most valu- able acquisition to our body, and, as such, I am sure the Royal London Yacht Club will be highly gratified to welcome him as their rear- commodore. We only ask his occasional personal at- tendance ; but ho has assured me, with much kindness, that he will always endeavour to give me a helping hand, and under his auspices I little doubt that the ensuing season of this club will be one we have not seen since its existence" [ much applause]. The Vice- Commodore seconded the proposition in equally eulogistic terms, and, having been unanimously elected by acclamation, the worthy Rear- Commodore expressed his acknowledgments in be- coming terms, and proffered theclub his best exertions at all times to advance its welfare. Thisimportant matter had been preceded by the discussion of a very fine haunch of venison, presented to the club by the Vice, whose health was consequently toasted in bumpers; and, in the course of the evening, the report of the auditors was read, and revealed the highly gratifying as- surance of the club's increased prosperity, there being £ 403 6s 5d in the treasurer's hands, exclusive of £ 150 in the. Three per Cents. A vote of thanks was cheerfully awarded to Mr Eagle, the treasurer, and other business transacted. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB~ The second sailing match of the season of this club took place on Thursday last, the 23d inst, over the usual course, from Bat- tersea Bridge to a buoy moored off the Feathers at Wandsworth, three times up and down. At about 2h 15min the River Queen steamer having embarked a numerous party of ladies and gen- tlemen, including not only the leading men of the R. Y. C., but several of the most prominent members of the Royal London and other clubs, left Mr Greavea's, Lindsey- row, and the gun to take stations having been fired, the following picked up their warps, and hung on to the pier heads of Battersea Bridge: YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. ZOUAVE; 4. Mr W. T. Sawyer 2. CREMORNE 3 Mr J. B. Burney 3. ANGLESEY 8 Mr W. Reed 4. SELINA 3 Mr J. Pick 5. BLUE BELL 6 Mr J. W. Ridgway 6. PRESIDENT 3 Mr J. Gambardella The match was sailed under the direction cf the Csmmodore, and the yachts having been inspected, the gun to prepare was fired at 2h 41min, aud the starting gun at 2h 47min, when they all canted to the north, the wind blowing at the time rather freshly from the W. N. W, The Anglesey was first round, and took the lead, but they all got away nearly together. The match was most prettily contested throughout, and towards the finish it became two matches, one between the Zouave and Blue Bell, which was maintained to the end, and contested most skil- fully ; and the other between the Anglesey and Cremorne, whioh promised to be as good, but in the last turn up the reach, the latter, in endeavouring to weather a barge, was caught fast by her topping lift, and was three or four minutes before she was cut away. We have seldom seen boats better handled than the Zouave and Blue Bell on this occasion in the last reach down to the flae- boat. The President, an American boat, and the Selina, who sailed so well in the last match, did not get the wind they like, or the result might have been different. The times of rounding were as follow: FIRST TIME. H. M. S. I H. M. S ANGLESEY .... 3 27 25 PRESIDENT .... 3 29 50 CREMORNB .... 3 28 80 I SELINA 3 31 SECOND TIME. H.

The crews of the different boats having assembled on board the steamer, the prizes were presented to the winners by the Commodore, who congratulated them upon their success. Mr* Sawyer and the Vice- Commodore, who sailed the Blue Bell, having returned thanks, the business of the day terminated. The steamer then ascended the river as far as Richmond, and the company on board amused themselves with dancing, a most excellent band having been provided by the stewards. The refreshments were on this occasion supplied by Mr Knight, of theclub house, Swan Tavern, Battersea, and gave complete satisfaction, as, indeed, did the whole of the arrangements throughout the day. GUIDES TO THE RIVER THAMES I. THE AQUATIC GUIDE. ( Printed by M. and WR. Collis, for C. Newnham, 1, Walcot- square, Lambeth.) II. THE OARSMAN'S GUIDE. By a Member of the Leander Club. Of late years great has been the want felt of some guide to the river Thames and some of its chief tributaries, on account of the well- known work originally issued under the title The Oars- man's Guide to the Thames having been some time out of print. In accordance with the old adage," It never rains but it pours," two works on the subject are now brought forward at the same time, the titles of which are given above. The first was pub- lished last week, and ( with a few additions prefixed, recording past events on the river, none of which are of much importance) is literally a reprint of the original Guide alluded to; so much so, indeed, that the errors of that work are left uncorrected, and things are retained which, though true when the Guide was published, are no longer so. We • will mention, for instance, one of great importance to navigators, viz, that " the locks in the first or Citv district are open every day in the week, and in other districts every day except SuMaywhereas the locks in the other districts have been navigable on Sundays for more than a twelvemonth. These things can easily be corrected, but we feel bound to notice them. The second work professes to be the original Leander Book, with corrections and additions, and, like its predecessor, is by a member of the Leander Club, who has bestowed indefinite pains during the last three years, by actual measurement, to obtain the exact distances, and in every other way to render the work complete. One great improvement will be found in the double column of distances, giving these both up and down the river. . There will be added The Companion to the Oarsman's Guide, obtaining useful hints under the following heads :—" Travel- ling* Boats for Up Trips," " Best Materials for the Construction of Travelling Boats and their Parts," " Remarks on Locks," " Furniture and Provisioning of a Travelling Boat," & c, & c.

The third and last match for the season of this club was fixed for Saturday, the 18th of July, and, as usual of late years, it was for vessels of the fourth class, exceeding 7 tons but not exceed- ing 12 tons— a match which has hitherto been one of the pret- tiest and most amusing of the year. The prizes were:— For the first boat, a piece of plate, value £ 30; for the second boat a silver tankard, value £ 10; course from Erith to the Chapman Head and back; time allowed, half a minute a ton. The follow- ing vessels entered, and all but tho Wave started :— NAME. TONS. OWNER. 1. SILVER CLOUD 8 Mr R. Hewett. 2. WAVE 8 Mr H. K. FurnelL 3. EMILY 7 Mr R. Hewett. 4. QUITER 12 Mr T. Chamberlayne. 5. UNDINE 8 Mr E. Searle. 6. CORMORANT 10 Mr J. T. Talmadge. 7. JULIA 8 Mr P. Turner. 8. VIOLET 9 Mr R. Kirby. All the vessels are cutters except the Undine, which is a Sliding Gunter Bermudian. The Emily is quite new, having only been launched on Tuesday, built, we believe, by a boat- builder at Barking. She is something after the centre- board boat model, with a long counter appended, and we fear that, like most other novelties, she will disappoint her spir ted owner. The other boats are well known. There was very little betting about the match, as every one wanted to invest on the Quiver. The guns were fired with great accuracy, and the vessels started at llh 35miu 55sec; wind light, and about W. S. W., with a hot sun. Silver Cloud seemed but half inclined to start, her men having only come on board after the first gun fired. Quiver was round first, and had her three lower sails set in 35 seconds, but was some time about her topsail. Violet swung well, and was the first to set a topsail, aud being out in the tide took the lead. All of them, of course, set their balloon topsails and jibs. As soon as they were round the point Quiver tried to pass Cormo- rant to windward, and the two vessels luffed up towards the south shore. This seemed at first foolish on the part of Quiver, however, when she had passed Cormorant, which she soou did, she was by this manoeuvre so far to windward, that she had no difiiculty in getting by Julia and Violet. Opposite Purfleet Quiver was just ahead of Violet; Julia and Cormorant near each other; Emily next, Undine next, and Silver Cloud some way astern. Quiver now began to gain fast, and at Greenhithe was a quarter of a mile ahead, Julia, Cormorant, and Violet close abreast, the others well astern. Quiver seemed so safe that the interest of the match fell upon the next three, which went through St Clements like one vessel, Julia to windward; when, however, they jibed round Broad Ness Yiolet took a decided lead, and Julia was last of the three. Silver Cloud here passed the Undine, but lost on the Emily. Gravesend was passed by Quiver at 12h 45min, she being still about a quarter of a mile ahead, wind very light. Soon afterwards the hinder boats caught a good puff, and Violet came flying up to within 100 yards of Quiver. Off Coalhouse Point there was a strong breeze, and Quiver gained rapidly, dropping her topsail as she ran through the Lower Hope, The wind, however, soon fell light again, and no further change took place. About a mile above Chapman Head the steamer let go a flag- boat for the vessels to round, and lay head to tide near the boat. Quiver did not at first see the boat, and thought she was to round the steamer as usual. The violent waving of hats, how ever, on board the steamer probably warned her that she was not right, and she altered her course in pretty good time, the vessels rounding the flag- boat as follows, having on the way down shifted topsails and jibs, for working sails :— H.

There was now a long dead beat against tide before them, and though the Quiver is supposed not to be very good turning to windward, yet the Itchen Ferry men on board her were known to be such unrivalled hands at work of thig sort, and her pilot, Keeling, was known to be so good that very little doubt was entertained of the result, and accordingly she began to gain fast. Undine soon passed Silver Cloud and Ecaily, but did not gain on tho other boats. Violet got away from Julia and Cormorant, between which there was a good match. The long beat against tide, up the edge of the sand, was somewhat tedious to the lookers on, aud must have been very fatiguing to the men engaged; happily, however, they are now spared from trimming that horrible bal- last, which used in short tacks to be dreadful work. After about an hour's beating, the wind freshened so much that most of the vessels set jib- headed topsails, the Quiver gaining fast. At Hope Point the Quiver must have been a quarter of an hour ahead, and was almost out of sight; Violet here also gained ou the boats behind her. In going through the Lower Hope, however, this order of things was reversed, the headmost boats being 3till in the strong ebb, whilst the others were in slack water, and off Gravescud Quiver was not more than half a mile ahead of Violet, and time being taken into account, did not seem so very safe. Here the tide at length turned, and very luckily, for the wind was now again very light. The Quiver bad the good fortune to pass just before three large ships with their tugs started, whilst Violet, not being quite so far ahead, was terribly hampered by them all the way up. In Long Reach Quiver was either more lucky, or reached with more judgment than Violet, but just as she was coming in to win, ran into a calm, which lost her at least two minutes, and the flag buoy at Erith was passed— H. M. s. | H. M. s, 1 H. M. 8, QUIVER 7 9 O CORIIOBANT ., 7 18 0 JULIA 7 22 SO VIOLET 7 11 30 | | The others did not round, or were not timed, Quiver thus win- ning easily, but not quite so hollow as was generally expected. The prizes were immediately presented by the noble Commodore, Lord A. Paget, Quiver, of course, receiving the first prize and Violet ths second. As it happened, it would have made no difference, but we must observe that half minute time is not enough for vessels of this small size ; minute time at least should be given ; for there is almost as much difference in speed between 12 tons and 8 tons, as between 4S tons and 32 tons. We are sorry that the Don Juan of Southampton was unwilling to come round, on account of the Southern Yacht Club Regatta, as she would probably haverun theQuiververy hard. EventheLittieMosquito would have had a very good chance, as she would have done well in the beat against tide. We believe that Saturday is a con- venient day for many members of the club, but, as far as tide goes, the selection was certainly not good, and, had the breeze not freshened just at the proper time, the match would have been protracted to a very late hour. The Sapphire steamer was engaged by the club, and accom panied the match, with about 150 on board. The captain is a rather rough specimen, and he did not contrive to show his company so much of the match as is usual. The provisions on board were exoellent. The band of the Coldstream Guards was to have attended, but, to the great gratification of those who do not like noise, only about a dozen arrived, the rest being other- wise engaged. Unluckily, however, the club had obviously only the leavings, and the best of the musicians must have attended the other engagement. The steamer started, with the ezenv plary punctuality of this club, at ten precisely, and, for the first time in our recollection, there was no delay or dawdling after the match was over; and we trust that this is the begin- ning of the new system, as the day is always sufficiently long and fatiguiug at the best. As it was, the steamer reached London Bridge at a quarter to nine, though it was past seven when the winning boat arrived at Erith. The weather throughout the day was delicious ; Bothiag could have been finer, except that the sun was at times perhaps rather too hot. There were not so many attendant yachts as usual, but the river was enlivened by . several magnificent ships arriving or departing— amongst which no less than four of the finest belonged to the Vice- Commodore of the club. This being, we are sorry to say, the cl<? se of the racing sep. son on the Thames, we will make a few remarks upon it. There have been eight cutter matches, the winners being Mosquito, Thought, Phantom, Quiver, Kitten, aud Little Mosquito ; and no advance seems to have been made in nautical science, these being all old boats and none of the new boats liaviDg done any- thing. Six of the eight winners have been either Southampton boats or sailed by Southampton men ; but, as we observed last week, we are sure that either Hatcher or Payne could produce a much faster small boat than any now in existence. Every match has been filled and has been contested bona fide, and we have only heard of two protests, one of which it was not necessary to go into, and the other will, we believe, be disposed of in five minutes— all of which is highly satisfactory. After the fashion of Englishmen, the weather must be discussed. About six years ago there was such a succession of calms that it was seriously proposed to abandon tho Thames as a sailing ground; for the last three years there has only been one match postponed for wantof wind, and there has generally been quite enough for the vessels. Last year it blew hard ia nearly every match, and we think that it rained on every match day but one. This year gaff topsails have always been carried, aud there has never been a rainy day. The conclusion to be drawn from all of which is that, in a cli- mate like this, observations must be spread over many years in order to obtain any general result. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. On Friday, July 17th, the annual mateh of this club took place for a Challenge Plate or Epergne, valuo £ 70, which was sub- scribed for by several members of the club and presented to the club last year. It is a challenge prize, to be held by the winner of the match in any year until the next year, when, if the same yacht is again a winner, the cup becomes the absolute property of her owner. The first match for this prize was won la3t year by the Flirt; she, however, having been sold to go to the Irish Channel, did not appear as a competitor this year. The fol- lowing vessels entered:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. SILVER CLOUD 8 Mr R. Hewett. 2. RIFLEMAN 8 Mr P. Bennett. 3. UNDINE 8 Mr E. Searle. 4. LITTLE MOSQUITO 8 Mr E. S. Bulmer. 5. VALENTINE 8 Mr E, Fradgley. Course, from Erith to Chapman Head and back; time, for tonnage, one minute a ton. Of these, the Undine was not able to start, having been found on measurement to be above the proper tonnage. The vessels were moored, as usual, just above Erith, and were started at 12h 23min, the wind being about W. S. W., very light. Little Mosquito was the first to swing round and hoist her lower sails, w'hich was done in 40sec. Valentine, however, being further out in the tide, got the lead, and that with greater ease, as Mosquito caught a turn with the topsail sheet round the gaff end, and had to send a man out to clear it. These two vessels took a nice breeze, and left the others a long way astern. Little Mosquito soou passed Valen- tine to leeward, and at Purfleet was 200 yards ahead of her, the others half a mile astern. About half- way down Long Reach, a breeze sprung up ; the Silver Cloud passed Rifleman, and rather gained on the leading vessels. Mosquito reached Gravesend atlh45min, a long way ahead; Silver Cloud next, having passed Valentine. The wind here died away, the sun shone out fiercely, and it was intensely hot; a fine fleet of large ships were lying off Gravesend, and with the racing vessels, and their attendant yachts, formed a very pretty subject for a picture of " shipping in a calm." Near Coal House Point the wind freshened, and came W. N. W., and then W., and Mosquito gained fast. It fell, rather lighter in Sea Reach, but the club steamer went on to within half a mile of the Chapman Head, where she brought up just at slack water, and tho yachts rounded her as follows':— H M S !

LITTLE Mos- ' ' SILVER CLOUD S' 4l' 15 VALENTINE.... 3* 51* 59 QUITO 3 84 0 I RIFLEMAN 8 51 80| The wind rather freshened with the flood, but whatever in- terest there had been in the match was over, as the other vessels were known to have no chance turning to windward in light airs against the Little Mosquito, and we have nothing more to record than that they reached Erith :— LITTLE Mos- ' ' ' SILVER CLOUD7* ll'lf) RIELBMAN .... 7* 26 D QUITO 6 59 0 I VALENTINE. ... 7 18 20 I A protest was made on the part of the Valentine against The Little Mosquito, on the ground that she had already won two prizes, and therefore could not take a third prize. To which it was answered, that this was not a club prize, & c, & c, and so the matter remains for decision. Little Mosquito was sailed by W. Truebell, of Itchen Ferry, and steered by Hatcher, her builder. She has been as lucky iu her weather this year as she was unlucky last year, and has won all her matches. Though she is no doubt a good boat, and has done wonders in the Thames, it should be recollected that in her native Southampton Waters were two antagonists ( Zeuxo and Gazelle) which she could never make sure of beating, and we are rather surprised that none of the Thames yacht owners have applied to Hatcher or Payne of Southampton for an eight- ton boat, all these three boats having been built to sail by length, and not by tonnage, and being very small compared to Silver Cloud or Julia. The Oread steamer, with a remarkably polite captain, was engaged by the club, and had about 120 on board. She started from Blackwall, and a very good plan that would have been if it had been carried out punctually. As it was, there was too much waiting both before and after the match, and she returned to Blackwall a little before nine o'clock. Perhaps, however, the company were not in a hurry, for the day was splendid, except that it was at times too hot, and after the heat had gone off they seemed to find in dancing the amusement which the one- sided nature of the match did not afford. The sailing committee of this club met on Wednesday last, to consider the protest entered by the owner of the Valentine against the Little Mosquito taking the challenge prize which was sailed for and won by her on the 17th instant, on the ground that she had won a prize in two successive ch" J. b matches ( for which Rule 19 provides). Mr Fradgley appeared before the committee, and stated his objections, when a considerable dis- cussion arose, in consequence of the fact that the sailing regula- tions as printed in the books of 1856, which were published, for the use of the members in the middle of May of that year, did not contain a resolution which was passed unanimously by the club at the May meeting of 1856, two months and a half previous to the first race for the ChalLenge Cup, aud which resolution has sinee been inserted in the book for 1857, and is as follows :— " That the challenge prize shall be sailed for at all times irrespective of sailing regulation No. 19; therefore any yacht winning two matches successively is not thereby to be precluded from entering for the Challenge Match." The books for 1856 being, at the time this resolution was passed, in the hands of tho publisher, prevented it from being inserted in them. It was moved aud seoonded by some members of the committee, " That the minutes of the club meeting of May, 1856— making a by- law, confirmed in June, 1856— suspending sailing regulation 19, in the case of sailing for the Challenge Prize— having been read to this committee, the committee decide that the prize be awarded to the Little Mosquito— subject to the by- law above adverted to— as winner of the match in 1857." The amendment was moved and seconded, but, on being put to the vote, was lost. The original motion was then put to the committee, and the same was declared to be carried, and the prize is therefore awarded to the Little Mosquito. It is the first time a dis- agreeable thing of this nature has occurred in the Prince of Wales Yacht Club, aud we hope it may be the last, and tho present matter no further remembered. PORT OF PLYMOUTH ROYAL REGATTA. Chairman: The Right Worshipful the Mayor, F. F. Bulteel, Esq. Deputy- Chairman: Sir W. Snow Harris. Secretary: Wm. S. Kelly, Esq. Treasurer: Wm. E. Rendle, Esq. The sport commenced on Wednesdayand wasof a most attractive character. The morning broke unfavourably. A sou'- wost wind brought up dense vapoury clouds, which threatened a deluge- mackintoshes aud umbrellas were at a premium— the quick- silver was shaky, and up to ten o'clock everything indicated a damp, dreary, miserable, olieerloss day. At that hour, however, a spanking nor'- wester came to the rescue, and oldPluvius, who has almost invariably, in the memory of " the oldest inhabi- tant," interposed his unwelcome patronage on the occasions of the Plymouth regattas, was driven up channel to deposit his moisture where it could do no mischief. This agreeable change awoke new life. Plymouth emptied herself of her thousands, the vast populations of Stouehouse and Devonport contri- buted their quota to the accumulated mass of humanity which crowded the Hoe and every available spot which com- manded a view of the Sound. The scene afloat was not less in- teresting, the whole surface of the Sound being ornamented with craft of every conoeivable shape and tonnage. Upon the application of the committee, supported by a letter from the Mayor, the Admiral Superintendent of the dockyard directed that a cutter should be placed at their disposal as a starting vessel, and the Queen's harbour- master, W. H. Thompson, Esq, rendered valuable assistance in laying down buoys and mark boats in different parts of tho course. As will be seen by the prizes awarded, the subscriptions wore most liberal, and, in ad- dition, the Cup presented by His Royal Highness the Prince Consort gave considerable eclat to the sports. Two military bands were stationed in the Hoe, and a third occupied a trawler adjoining the committee's boat. The arrangements were perfect, andnot a single hitch or accident occurred during theday. Oneof these arrangements is, we believe, quite new, viz, that one- fourth of the tonnage should be added to cutters to equalise them with the tonnage of schooners, and that the larger vessels, whether cutters or schooners, should allow half a minute to the smaller vessels. The course for yachts was the same as on previous years, from the Committee's barge to a mark vessel off Penlee Point, thence to another mark vessel off the Mewstone, return- ing past the western end of the Breakwater, rounding the Cobler buoy under the citadel and the Committee's barge on the northward; twice round, making a distance of about 25 miles. We now proceed to a description of the sports :— For TRAWLERS, open to all England, to carry all their trawl gear, first prize £ 10, second £ 6, third £ 3, and all other boats that go once fairly round the course ( unless otherwise decided) to receive £ 1 each; time allowed half a minute per ton; five to start or no race; no entrance fee. Baron, Germain, cutter, 38 tons; King Crispin, Lavers, cutter, 36 tons; Queen and Craft, R. Dyer, cutter, 38 tons; Vision, Luke, cutter, 27 tons; Robert Emmett, J. Knox, cutter, 15 tons. At llh 2min the signal was given to start. Robert Emmett was the first to get away, closely followed by Queen and Craft and Baron. The Vision's bowsprit ran foul of the yard of King Crispiu, and becoming entangled, the two did not get away for some minutes after the other three. The Robert Emmett kept the lead until she was passed by Queen and Craft off the Breakwater; when outside the Queen carried away her gaff- topsail halyards, and the Baron, who was close in pursuit, passed her, and shot some distance ahead. On rounding the Cobler buoy, however, the Baron's topmast snapped, and her chance seemed then to be doubtful. The vessels reached the flagstaff in tho following order and time : Baron, 12h 54miii 25sec; Queen and Craft, 12h 57min 2sec; King Crispin, lh llmin 21sec ; Robert Emmett, lh I7min 2sec ; Vision, lh I7min 17seo. On the second round, the Baron, not- withstanding her accident, bore away proudly, the strong breeze compensating for her loss. She was never reached, and the whole came in as follows :— Baron, 3h ; Queen and Craft, 3h 6min ; King Crispin, 3h 30min 25sec; Robert Emmett, Sh 45min 50sec; Vision, 3h 48min lOsec. King Crispin was quite a new boat, only just off the stocks, and owing to having violated one of the regulations in not having carried her trawl gear, the third prize, with the gratuity of £ 1, was divided be- tween her and the Robert Emmett. The TOWN PLATE of £ 50, to be sailed for by yachts of any rig, bond fide the property of a member of a royal yacht club, and holding the Admiralty warrant; a time race; entry £ 1 is, post entry £ 2 2s; three to start or no race.

Old yachts- men were in ecstacies as the; little fleet dashed from their moor- ings, with every inch of canvas filled almost to bursting. The schooners carried balloon jibs— that of the Wildfire swelling out like one- half of Mr Green's " great Nassau." This schooner soon gave evidence that she was " master of the situation," taking a decided lead almost from the first, and maintaining it throughout.

The start was at 12h 21m 30sec, all getting off well together. The Annie is a Bermudian rigged boat, and carried also a tremendous topsail, which the old hands prophesied would have to succumb when she got outside. It was blowing stiffly when they started, and the Annie ran through the water with her mast bending under the weight of canvas. She showed her antagonists the way till off the'Snag Stone, when she carried away her flying jib- boom. She held oh her course, however, right gallantly till her gaff- topsail gave way, aud, subsequently springing her mast whilst beating from the eastern to the western mark boats, she dropped astern, and lost all chance of the race.

Mr Waring, who is deservedly respected, was received with much enthusiasm at the conclusion of the race.

Four prizes were won by the Conqueror, Ocean Queen, Fear Not, and Alma, after a well- contested race. Next came a contest which is but rarely found amongst regu- lar aquatic sports— prizes for four- oared gigs, rowed by women. Saltash, a few miles up the Tamar, is famous for its boat- women, whose habits of life ( attending constantly the Plymouth market in boats) have given to them a skill and dexterity, as well as wind and muscle, which some of the sterner sex might envy. Three gigs competed, and the contest was a close one, there being but a quarter of a minute between the first and second boats, and three quarters between first and third. The Daring ( Elizabeth Turner) was the winner. For four- oared gigs the property of merchants of the port there were three prizes and four competitors, the Pet ( Benjamin Marker) beating White Mouse, Jenny Lind, and Teazle. Other minor sports followed, including ( of course) the puat chase, which afforded much merriment. In the evening the Mayor of Plymouth distributed the prises on board the committee's barge, and at the conclusion of the distribution the company partook of the hospitality of the committee, on which occasion congratulatory and complimentary speeches were delivered. The whole proceedings^ passed off most satisfactorily. The arrangements of the committee were very complete; and for their courtesy and that of the Queen's Harbour- master our acknowledgments are pre- eminently due. CLYDE MODEL YACHT CLUB. The first regatta of this club came off at Largs on Friday, 17th inst. James Smith, Esq, of Jordanhill, acted as commodore, and kindly gave his fiue yacht Wave for the reception of visitors, among whom we observed the Hon G. F. Boyle and lady ; Capt Hay, R. N., of Fairlie; Sheriff Tennant, of Greenock; Milsone Browne, Esq, of Weymiss, & c. The day was exceedingly fa- vourable for sailing, there being a good stiff breeze from the westward, which afforded every opportunity for trying the qualities of the tidy little craft. In addition to about forty yachts belonging to the club, and an immense number of small sailing and rowing boats, we observed cruising about during the day the Aurora, 84 tons, John Buchanan, Esq; Oithona, 80 tons, J. M. Rowan, Esq; Crusader, 30 tons, John Speirs, Esq; Zingara, 20 tons, John Scott, Esq; Irene, 15 tons, John Ronald, Esq, & c. About eleven o'clock the steamer Flying Childers, which the club had chartered for the occasion, arrived from Glasgow with a large party ou board, and cruised about during the day, giving all an excellent opportunity of seeing the various movements of the fleet. The course was from the Commodore's yacht, which was moored near the pier, round a flag- boat off the north end of Cumbrae, then round the Fairlie Buoy, and back round Commodore. The distance was about 9i miles; twice round for the first, second, and third races, aad once round for YACHT. TONS. OWNER. H. M. S. BELLA .. 8.. Mr Walker... 11 84 0 the fourth race. One minute per ton was allowed at starting for difference of tonnage. The FIRST RACE was for yachts of 8 tons and under; first prize, a Silver Kettle, value £ 20; second, a Claret Jug, £ 10, and for which the following entered and started, viz :- YACHT. TONS. OW> ER, H. M. S. " BANSHEE .4 .. Mr Mann .. 11 80 0 ARMADA. . 7i.. Mr Dickie .. 11 83 30 A beautiful start was effected precisely at the time stated, anGl a keenly contested raoe was expected between the Armada and Bella, both boats having been built expressly for this regatta, but the former proved herself decidedly superior, as will be seen from the time of each. Immediately after starting the Armada began to creep away from the Bella, and after rounding the first flag- boat she got a good lead, which she gradually increased, and the first round was completed as follows, viz :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. ARMADA 12 38 15 | BELLA 12 51 7 I BANSHBB 12 54 10 In the second round the Armada still continued to increase her lead, although the Bella had the advantage of a huge gaff topsail, while the Armada only carried her mainsail, foresail, and jib. The Banshee carried away the jaws of her gaff, and lost any chance she had for the seoond prize. The race was finished as follows, viz :— H. M. s. H. M. S. H. M. s. ARMADA 1 45 so | BELLA 2 2 45 | BANSHBB 2 41 45 The Armada thus coming in an easy winner, and reflecting great credit on her owner, under whos9 superintendence she was modelled and built. A protest was lodged against the Bella for not having rounded the buoy at Fairlie, but this was over- ruled by the Commodore, and she was awarded the second prize. The SECOND RACE was for yachts of 6 tons and under ; first prize, a piece of plate, value £ 12; second, a claret jug, £ 6. Nine yachts entered, seven of which hoisted their colours, and started as follows, viz :— YACHT. IONS. OWNER. H. M. S. PEARL .... 44,... . Messrs Ferguson ... 12 0 0 BREEZE .. . Mr A.

Findlay ... 12 1 30 Nothing could excel the manner in which all the little fleet got away from their moorings, and it was evident* that this would be a most exciting race, several of the boats being well matched. The Leda soon took the lead, closely followed by the Pearl and Comet, between which perhaps the most exciting con- test took place for seoond prize that could possibly be imagined, not more than a few boat's lengths separating them during the whole run of nineteen miles. In this round the Breeze and Garland caried away some of their standing rigging, and had to give up, the remaining vessels rounding the Commodore as fol- lows :— H. M. S. 1 2310 ] COMET H. M. S. 1 24 15 I H. M. s. CLUTHA 1 85 34 LEDA.., PEARL 1 24 10 | EUGBNIE 1 82 80 I The same order was maintained during the greater part of the second round, but the Eugenie having carried away her bobstay lost a few minutes. However by this time the race lay entirely between the Leda, Pearl, and Comet, aud the way in which these three boats were handled excited the admiration of every one. The Leda continued to maintain her position, and the Pearl kept ahead of the Comet till after rounding the Fairlie buoy, when the latter, having a balloon topsail set, gradually overhauled the Pearl, which had no topsail, and after one of the keenest races that could be witnessed, they eventually arrived at the Commodore as follows, viz:— H. M. S. CLUTHA 8 9 30 H. M. S. H. M. S. LEDA 2 52 50 PEARL 2 56 0 COMEI 2 55 40 I EUGENIE 8 7 42 | The Leda gained the first prize by 2min 50sec, and the Comet the first prize by only 20sec. The THIRD RACE was for yachts of 4 tons and under; first prize a Cup value £ 9, second a Telescope value £ 4; ten boats entered for this race, six of which started as follows :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER H. M. S. ECHO Mr J. Sutherland.. 12 80 0 CHRYSALIS 3 MrR. M'Intosli,... 12 30 30 PHANTOM 3 Mr J. Gibson 12 30 30 WILL O' THE WISP. . 3I Mr W. Miller 12 31 0 LILY 3J MrJ. Ure 12 8L 0 FRANCES 4 Capt Taylor 12 31 80 They all went well away together, but the Lily, being farthest to leeward, had not the same advantage at starting; however, she soon showed her superior sailing qualities, as she gradually crept to windward of the whole, and rounded the first flag- boat about half a minute ahead of the others. After rounding the flag- boat they all bore away for Fairlie Buoy, but at this point there hap- pened to be both a flag- boat and the buoy, the latter being about 250 yards farthest off. The Lily went round the buoy, while the Frances and some of the others only went round the flag- boat. The Frances then got the lead, and they arrived at the Commodore as follows:— FRANCES 2' 4' 47 WILL- O'- THB- ' ' ' ECHO 2' 9* 45 LILY 2 8 10 | WISP 2 9 171 In this round the Phantom and Chrysalis got disabled and gave up the contest, and the Lily hoisted her burgee as a signal for protest against the Frances for not going round the buoy at Fairlie. After standing out on the second round the Lily again overhauled the Frances, and had a clear lead round the first flag- boat, which she continued to increase towards the Fairlie Buoy, when the Frances again rounding the flag- boat instead of the buoy, got the lead, and arrived at the Commodore two minutes and three seconds ahead of the Lily. The Echo carried away her bobstay, and the Will- o'- the- Wisp sprung her top- mast, thus leaving the race between the Frances and Lily. The exact time of completing the second round was— H « M( S. ! U. M, S FRANCES 8* 34* 471 LILY 3' 36 56 The owner of the Lily entered his protest against the Frances, as already explained, but the Commodore overruled the ob- jections, and decided the first prize in favour of the Frances, and the second prize to the Lily, at the same time complimenting Mr Ure on the evident superiority of his craft, and hoping that next time they met there would be no mistake as to the course. Great interest was manifested as to the result of this race, the Lily being a new boat, after a most approved model by John Ferguson, Esq, one of the most active members of the club, and, on looking at her performance, they have much reason to be proud of her sailing and weatherly qualities, as she proved herself very fast, and able to carry on when some of the larger craft had to shorten sail. Tne difference of distance between the flag- boat and buoy at Fairlie was from 250 to 300 yards, so that the Lily having gone over this four times, it is not too much to say that she beat the Frances by at least six minutes, and, had it not been for a slight mistake in the sailing regulations, she would most assuredly have got, as she deserved, the first prize. FOURTH RACE for light open boats; first prize a Claret Jug, value £ 4, 3econd! a Telescope, value £ 2, Four boats entered and started for this race, which was only ( fence round, viz, Phantom, A. W. Woodside, Ih 39min; Fly by Night, C. J. Rait, lh 30min; Urania, R. Sharp, lh 30min; Rose, J. Rankin, lh 30min. This was expected to be a good race, but the Phantom and Fly by Night having got disabled immediately after starting, less interest was felt as to the result. The Urania took the lead and kept it all the way, coming in an easy winner. Urania 3h 9min 40sec, Rose 3h 14min EOsec. At the finish of the third race the winders of the different prizes assembled on board the Commodore's yacht, wheu they were duly presented with them by the Commodore, who con- gratulated each of them on the spirited way in which the races had been contested, and hoped that this would only prove a fore- runner of many such regattas of the C. M. Y. C. We cannot conclude without complimenting Commodore Smith for his excellent and judicious arrangement of the diffe- rent matches, starting each of them exactly to the time adver- tised. As ever, he was foremost in promoting that genuine yachting spirit which has, during his long career as the oldest yachtsman on the Clyde, always distinguished him. The Clydesdale Amateur Rowing Club purposed having their regatta at the same time and place, but the weather being rather stormy for light boats they were obliged to postpone their matches as advertised till Friday, the 31st ult, when wa under- stand they are to be run for at Glasgow. CORK HARBOUR REGATTA. The regatta of the oldest yacht club in the kingdom took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 14 and 15. From an early hour in the morning the excitement which prevailed to witness the contests was manifested by the crowds which were to be seen pouring down towards the terminus of the Cork and Pas- sage Railway, as well as towards the quay from which the river steamers start for Queens town. A very large excursion train arrived early in the morning from Bandon. Hour after hour the railway terminus as well as the steamer quay were crammed with eager excursionists. Every carriage and every steamer were put in requisition; and as each boat discharged its living freight on the quay of Queenstown, it immediately returned to convey an additional cargo. Nor were these the only convey- ances— large numbers of persons left Cerk in small| boats, and continued in the bay of Queenstown for a great portion of the day, the water being in many respects pleasanter than the shore, wherh the heat was at times rather oppressive. The FIRST RACK of the day was one for hookers exceeding 20 tons; first boat £ 9, second boat £ 3. NAME. TONS. OWNER. RATTLER 24, David Sullivan, Ballycotton. CATHERINE 21'. Michael Fitzgerald, Rathcoursey. PARIS 21 John Ronayne, Rathcoursey. The course was round the Spit Bank, aud to pass two points immediately ou'. side the harbour, returning the same route, keeping the Spit on the port side. Length of course about 30 miles. There was a light breeze from S. E., which contributed to display the sailing qualities of the boats. The start was a very fair one, and the issue was for some time doubtful, but the Paris at length gave up the race, finding she had no chance of winning. The other boats arrived as follows:— Rattler 4h 88min, Catherine 4h 40min. The second race was the event of the day— CORK, BLACRROCK, AND PASSAGE RAILWAY PRIZE for yachts exceeding 20 and not exceeding 50 tons.

On the termination of the Cork Harbour Regatta, the owners of all the yachts in the harbour, with their friends on board, were invited to dine, by the members of the R. C. Y. C., on Thurs- day, the 16th, and, wit h the exception of two, who were unavoid- ably obliged to leave, the invitation was accepted by all. Covers were laid for sixty- five, and at half- past six o'clock, the mem- bers, with their visitors, sat down to a sumptuous dinner pro- vide a by the house steward, Elliott, with his superior taste and judgment, The chair was occupied by T. G. French, Admiral of the R. C. Y. O. Fleet. On his right sat Sir Gilbert East, of the cutter- yacht Shadow; and on his left Colonel Eyre. The vice- chair was occupied by the secretary, Mr G. Armstrong?. On the cloth being removed, the chairman gave " The Queen, aud the rest of the royal family," which was drunk with all the honours. The next toast was " The navy and army," to which Capt Boyd, H. M. S. Con- way, and Col Eyre responded. The next was the toast of the night, " The visitors who honoured the club with their com- pany," which was drunk with the most enthusiastic chcer- mg. Sir G. East rose and said that he was glad of the opportunity of expressing his gratitude and thanks to his friends for the very kind and very warm reception he had met with since his arrival in the harbour, aud that he could never forget the kindness he had received— that he had been at numerous regattas, but had never been at a more agreeable one, or one better managed, aud he hoped, ere long, that he may meet some of the R. C. Y. C. gentlemen iu the southern waters of England, when he would have an opportunity of showing his gratitude. The next was the health of Mr Turner, the winner of the large yacht race, won by the celebrated schooner, Wild- fire, on the preceding day. In the absenoe of Mr Turner, his father returned thanks, and said that, for many years past, he had attended regattas, but that he never saw one better managed in every respect, and that the great anxiety of the committee, the stewards, and secretary, seemed to be to show fair play to all, and to be courteous and obliging to all, and that he hoped to be able to attend future regattas in Cork harbour. Before sitting down he begged to propose the efficient secretary, which was very warmly received. Mr G. Armstrong returned thanks. The health of Mr H. H. O'Bryen, owner of the celebrated cutter, Flirt, as a winner also on the former day, was also proposed, and numerous other toasts. The company did not separate till a late, or rather an early hour. BARNES AND MORTLAKE REGATTA. The Barnes and Mortlake Regatta came off on Wednes- day, and was one of those pleasant little meetings which any reasonable man might relish keenly. It was a plain, comfortable thing, although liberal, and its very lack of pretension gave it a charm. It could not boast of a panoply of rich prizes and richer patrons, but tho plate was worth £ 90, and it possessed all the essentials of a homely and comfortable gathering. It was a vast deal greater in its general details than it ever was before, and would pro- bably be designated by a Young Englander as extensively im- proving. It was in every way successful, and the business was properly conducted ; the ze& l and energy of purpose which had distinguished the labours of the committeemen being duly ap- preciated by the rowing community, and commanding for the meeting the cordial support which it deserved. Head- quarters were Mr Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes, opposite which the band of the 1st Surrey Militia were at anchor, for the grati- fication of the ladies present, assembled on board a committee barge. The laws of boat- racing in use at Henley were those go- verning the regatta, and in other respects the proceedings assi- milated with it. The weather was fine, with a little too much wind, and the course chosen afforded a great number of persons an oppertunitv of witnessing the sport without discomfort. In the four- oared races the competitors started from Barker's rails, rowed through Barnes Bridge, and finished at a flag- boat'moored off the Bull's Head Hotel; and the other races were rowed up or down as the tide served, between the High Bridge and the flag- boat moored off the Bull's Head Hotel. The early races coming off with the flood tide against the wind, made the water very rough. Umpires' boats were manned, and the racing com- menced at two o'clock with— THE OUTRIGGED ' GIGS PAIR- OARED RACE, for three Silver Presentation Cups. FIBST HBAT. Messrs Woodbridge and Price, Master H. Weiton ( cox) 1 Messrs Taylor and Emes, Mr Walford ( cox) 0 Messrs H. Rice and Salamons, Mr Stout ( cox) 0 They kept together after the start nearly to the bridge, where the winners went clear ahead away from them, and won as they vious race, beaten Mr Joynes's, this time they had to yield the palm to them, the order of coming in being as follows :— 1. Joynes's, 2. Durnford's, 3. Vidal's.— Third heat, July 18— Rev W. Carter's : 1. Wynne, 3. Burton, 3. Bowyer, 4. Baring ; Hig- ginson ( cox). Rev E. Coleridge's: 1. Brewer, 2. Selwyn, 3. Van de Weyer, 4. Stanley; Bell ( cox). This was a very good raca, Mr Coleridge's having the lead as far as Brocas Clump; here Mr Carter's came up with them aud passed them with a spurt at Brocas Rails, winning by about a boat's length.— In the final heat the following three started :— Mr Joynes's, Mr Carter's, Mr Marriott's. Marriott's took the lead, but ware passed by Joynes's between the Hopes, the latter winning easily, Marriott's second, Carter's third. ROYAL THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA. We have to remind our readers that this great event is now rapidly approaching, and we are requested to state that the com- mittee would be obliged to all who have not already paid in their subscriptions to do so at once. Intending competitors must make their entries oa or before eight o'clock on Monday ( to- morrow), either at Messrs Searle and Son's, Stangate, or Mr J. Kirbv's, White Lion Hotel, Putney. The committee and secre- tary will be in attendance at the latter place, on Monday be- tween six and eight to give any information required. We believe the entries for the £ 100 champion race will be very nu- merous. The renowned veteran H. Clasper, as usual, brings a crew, likewise do Bruce aud Wiuship, and a crew has also been formed by H. Kelly, the champion. It is also expected that a crack north country amateur crew and scullers will make their appearance this year on the Thames, aud of course the London Rowing Club will turn out and meet them, The ex- champion amateur will again show among the scul- lers. The Lord Mayor and suite will honour the regatta with the'r presence, and will prooeed by water in state.

FOUR- OARED RACE.— The following is a list of the gentlemen who will row in the four- oared race of this club, from Putney to Hammersmith, on Thursday next:— Red : I Holman, 2 T. H. Turner, 3 T. C. Moens, 4 Shearman, Edie ( cox). Green : 1 Ran- dall, 2 Lee, 3 James Virtue, 4 Schlotel, Stanley ( cox). Blacks 1 Edkins, 2 Wray, 3 Sarle, 4 Nottidge, Tidbur. y ( cox). Yellow : 1 Caswell, 2 H. Escombe, 3 Ireland, 4 Potter, Taylor ( cox). White : 1 Salomons, 2 M'Gedy, 3 Nickalls, 4 Freeman, Casa- major ( cox). Blue : 1 Hunt, 2 Addison, 3 L. H. Moens, 4 Bel- four, H. H. Playford ( cox). The entries closed on Monday last, so that plenty of time has been given for the cr^ ws to practise and get somewhat into form ; and on the day we shall hope to see that the opportunity has not been neglected. It will be seen that the two " cracks" of the club— Messrs Casamajor and H. Playford— have on this occasion taken upon themselves the duties of coxswains ; an arrangement which was no doubt judiciousaas many might have been deterred froai entering, feariuc: the possibility of having them for opponents. They will not, however, be without their share of responsibility, as much care will be required in a race where six boats start, especially as they are likely to be evenly matched— at least for the first half mile. We greatly approve of the project of these races, as, by a proper use of them— i. e., a little careful practice— those gaps iu the " eight," which must continually occur, may easily be filled up, and the honours of the club maintained. SECOND HEAT. Messrs E. F. Steel and VV. M. Shirreff, Mr H. Gregory ( cox).. 1 Messrs Stahlschmidt and W. M, Drake, Mr Williams ( cox) ( I. Zingari) 0 It was a very close race up to the bridge, when, o wing to the lumpy water, ona of the losers slipped his oar, and the others, who were leading, went away. Won easily. FINAL HEAT. Messrs W. Woodbridge and C. Price, Master H. Weston ( cox) 1 Messrs E. F. Steel and W. M. Shirreff, Mr H. Gregory ( cox).. 0 From the moment of starting the winners drew a lead, which they increased to two clear lengths off the Ship. The losers, however, mended their position a, the finish, and were only a length astern coming in. LOCAL TRADESMEN, pair oars; in one heat; for three Silver Presentation Cups. Messrs Chattery and Brightman, Mr White ( cox) 1 Messrs A. Brown and F. Alchin, Mr J. Brown ( cox) 0 Messrs E. Eves and W. Attwood, Mr Jones ( cox) 0 Messrs P. Davis and O. Davis, Mr A. W. Davis ( cox) 0 The winners started with the lead, the others got away well together, but just below Barnes Bridge the Davises were fouled by a sailing boat. Brown and Alchin then came up, and they made a smart race of it for some distance, each having alter- nate leads, and both pulling up before they arrived at the win- ning boat, reached by the winners some lengths ahead. JUNIOR SCULLERS RACE, for a Silver Presentatiou Goblet. FIRST HEAT. Mr W. Addison 1 I Mr E. Pernell 0 MrE. Butts ..., 0 | It was a capital, race, Addison and Butts being scull and scull till near Wilcox's, where Addison, with a slight front, took his opponent's water. Both were steering indifferently at the time, and a foul was the consequence. Pernell at this moment came up, but inside the Committee Barge. Butts'left off rowing, but did not claim a foul, and Addison rowed the remainder of the distance to win. SECOND HEAT. Mr C. Patterson 1 | Mr Debenham 0 Mr De Courcy had entered, but did not appear at the starting post. Tho winner rowed right away from the commencement. FINAL HEAT. Mr C. Patterson 11 Mr W. Addison 0 Mr Addison started with a slight lead and got half a length ahead at the Ship, where Mr Patterson caught him, and it was a capital race up to the Committee Barge, where Mr Patterson went away hand over hand, but, steering round the bay, was nearly cut off towards the finish by his opponent, who hugged the point pretty closely and kept up a fine race to the finish, Patterson winning by only a length. PAIR- OARED RACE, in wherries, for Two Silver Presentation Cups ; in one heat. Messrs A. Sarle and C. Wray ( I Zingari) 1 Messrs H. Gregory and W. L. Granville 0 Messrs Addison and Dobree were entered in this race, but were too late for the start, which was mainly attributable to Addi- son's being engaged in the previous race, and, consequently, not having sufficient time to change boats and get to the post. Gregory and Granville drew a slight lead at first, but Sarle and Wray caught them up within 200 yards and then won as they liked. FOUR- OARED RACE, in one heat, for five Silver Presentation Cups. THE BACHELORS' CREW— Messrs A. Warner 1, T. Stahl- schmidt 2, C. Price 3, W. Woodbridge ( stroke), Master H. Weston ( cox) 1 THE VIOLET CREW— Messrs H. Dobree 1, A. Lucas 2, E. F. Steel 8, W. M. Shirreff ( stroke), H. Gregory ( cox) 0 THE OITHONA CREW— Messrs E. Butts 1, A. Sarle 2, T. Tur- ner 8, Virtue ( stroke), E. Gordon ( cox) 0 It was a very good start and capital race to the Ship, the Violet taking the lead, closely followed by the Bachelors. The latter then came up, and a fine neck- and- ueck race succeeded, but one of the Violet men catching a crab, the Bachelors, who were leading, went further ahead and won by a couple of lengths. The Oithona had only b. een made up a short time previously, and did as much as could have been expected of them under the circumstances. — SENIOR SCULLERS RACE, in one heat, for a silver Claret. Jug and Stand. Mr W. Farar 11 Mr C. Schlotel 0 Mr Dobree did not start. Schlotel and Farar started well together, and it was a good race to the Ship, where Farar gra- dually drew in advance and won by five lengths, although he steered very badly. WATERMEN'S FOUR- OAEBD MATCH.— There was a handsome purse subscribed for the race among the watermen in the umpires' boats, with the following result :— PHELPS'S CREW— John Phelps, S. Peters, A. Ralph, G. Driver, Mr Casanaajor ( coxj 1 MACKINNEY'S CREW— Piatt, R. Meesum, J. Messum, J. Mac- kinnon, Mr Dobree ( cox) 0 KELLY'S CREW— Williams, Wingfield, J. Kelly, Redknap, Mr H. Gregory ( cox) 0 It was a fine race. They started evenly, and continued so to the Committee Barge ; Phelps's crew then began to " pick her up," and drew a slight lead— Mackinney's crew pressing them all the way home— won by half a length. Kelly's crew were close up. A GENTLEMEN'S FOUR- OAEED SCRATCH MATCH concluded the sports. AQUATICS AT . ETON. On Tuesday, July 14, was rowed the first heat of Mr Coleridge's tub- sculling. There were 130 starters, divided into two heats of 66 and 64 respectively. The first four were: 1. Burrell, 2. Monck, 3. Hoey, 4. Pedder. In the second heat, after some good racing, Van de Weyer came in first, Hankey seoond, Lubbock max third, Ward'fourth. In the final heat on Thursday, July 16, the first 15 of the two preceding heats started; Hankey took the lead from Hester's Shed, and won easily; Hall, who had a capital race with Fraser to the Rushes, coming in second, Van de Weyer third, Fraser fourth. THE DOUBLE SCULLING.— For this race there were 31 boats started, divided into four rows. Van de Weyer and Clayton, who had first row, went ahead at once and won easily. There was a very good race for second all the way, Hincks and St Quintin, Hankey and Palmer, Stanley and Coventry, Lubbock, max and Wilbraham holding that place respectively at different times. At last Stanley and Coventry took the lead and won, Hincks and St Quintin third, and Hussey and Denison fourth. UPPER EIGHTS.— The crews were as follows:— Baring's crew: 1. Denison, 2. Trenoh, 3. Walpole, 4. Halsey, 5. Craven, 6. At- kinson, 7. Hussey, 8. Baring; Smith ( cox). Lubbock's crew : 1. Severne, 2. Hincks, 3. Van de Weyer, 4. Hardy, 5. Hankey, 6. Pinckney, 7. Lubbock, 8. Lawless ; Wood ( cox). This was a most splendid race, the boats being nearly oar and oar down to Upper Hope; between the Hopes Baring gained slightly, and getting in the weeds, narrowly escaped fouling. After Lower Hope the boats started almost even again, and rowed to Barge- man's Bush oar and oar. Here Lubbock began to draw ahead, and finally won by scarcely a boat's length. HOUSE FOURS.— This year a new race was got up for House Fours, a handsome silver Challenge Cup having been presented by public subscription in the school to row for. Pewters were also given to the winning crew. There were eight entries, divided into heats, as follows :— First heat, July 13— Rev W. B. Marriott's crew: 1. Pon- sonby, 2. Le Strange, 3. Buller, 4.

SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN CHAMBERS & GALLEY' This match, between Robert Chambers and John Galley, which has been pending ever since the Howden Regatta, was brought to a satisfactory conclusion on Monday last. Tho distance was from the High Level Bridge to Scotswood Suspension Bridge, and the race was- for £ 50 a side. According to an express stipu- lation in the articles they had to row iu what is called on the Tyne " ballast keel boats," or common ferry boats, to select two, and toss for- choice. The articles, howev er, were not adhered to, for, after wasting about six hours in tlie selection of the boats, Chambers, we are informed, gave Galley his choice, and in his selection he secured the best boat, being much lighter than that of his opponent. Notwithstanding the weight of his boat, he had a large number of friends, who backed him freely for a large amount of money. Galley was also backed for a con- siderable amount by his friends from Blaydon, North and South Shields. Chambers is about 25 years of age, a puddler by pro- fession, and in the science of rowing a true type of the Clasper school. . He is well developed in muscle, and of great physical endurance. Galley is a waterman, and has long been known for his Herculean feats iu rowing. He formerly belonged to Blaydon, but" has; resided in Shields for some time, where he bears the name of the " Champion" of Shields. Both men have been in active training for some time, and their condition at the post showed the greatest attention on the part of their trainers, Chambers being trained by the celebrated Harry Clasper, while his opponent was trained chiefly by the watermen of Shields. According to an arrangement they had to start at half- pa^. t two o'clock, aud at the hour appointed the men pnt off from their respective places amidst the cheers of their friends, who had mustered in immense numbers. After a dozen steamers, crammed full of sightseers, had taken up their positions, the competitors pulled towards the starting point, and in a- few minutes the words " They're off " were heard for nearly half a mile alone; the shore. Chambers took a slight lead for a few secords, but Galley soon pulled level with his opponent, and by an extraordinary effort, went in advanoe, a lead which he continued to maintain until opposite Swinburne's staith, where Chambers, turning round aud seeing his man in " difficulties," put on'a determined spurt, brought his boat level with his op- ponent,* and in a few dozen strokes more he passed him with the greatest apparent ease, and he continued to widen the space as he advanced in the race, and at the finish was at least 100 yards tire winner. Great disappointment was manifested at the result of the race, and no doubt a large amount of money has been'lost on the event, one man alone, it is stated, having lost £ 180. The weather was exceedingly favourable for the event, add a large number of boats were floating 011 the river; amongst the watermen were Stephen Wright of Norwich, Richard Clksper, and many of the members of the Tyne Amateur Rowing Club. The money will be given up at Mr Luthead's, King's Head Inn, St. Anthony's. [ It is not stated when.] NATIONAL LIFE- BOAT INSTITUTION. LYTHAM, NEAR PRESTON, JULY 21.—( From our own Corres- pondent.)— To- day the Inspector of Life- boats ( Captain Ward, R. N.) to the Royal National Life- boat Institution took the life- boat belonging to the society at this place afloat for inspection and exercise, agreeably to the general instructions of the insti- tution regarding all its life- boats which he visits. When off the Horsebarik Sand, five; miles from Lytham, they saw a vessel anchored in a dangerous position, six miles further, on the edge of the Crusader Bank. The life- boat accordingly set sail, and ran over some intervening shoals, through some broken water, to the vessel's assistance. The master of the schooner appeared to be quite ignorant of the coast, and was much frightened at his position. He requested the life- boat's crew to pub two of their hands on board and tell him what to do. His request was complied with, and he was told to slip both his anchors, and run to the northward. If the life- boat had not put off to the ves- sel's help there can be no doubt that before the morning she would have gone to pieces, as she would have been aground long before low water. She was a beautiful schooner ( the Philanthropist), belonging to Aber. vstwith, and quite new, this being apparently her first voyage. MrEdmondson, the honorary secretary of the Lytham Life- boat branch, was also in the life- boat. The boat behaved remarkably well on the occasion. A few months since this same life- boat also succeeded in bringing into harbour the flat Turner of Preston, which was stranded on the Horsebank. CLIFFORD'S PLAN FOR LOWERING BOATS. The Shannon, 51 ( Capt Peel), screw- frigate, made her passage to the Cape in 62 days under sail, having experienced fine weather ah the way. Two fatal accidents occurred 011 board during the passae'e. Mr. Coaker, master's assistant, fell from aloft, struck the fore chains, aud fell dead into the water; and George Brown, a boy of the first class, fell from aloft inboard, and was killed. But for the admirable facility afforded by Clif- ford's plan of lowering boats, with which the frigate was fitted, the body of the unfortunate youncc officer could not have been recovered, nor the life of another boy, who fell overboard, have been saved. On both occasions the vessel was going at from 11 to 12 knots uuder all sail, notwithstanding which the boat was manner and lowered in little more than a minute. We subjoin an extract from a letter written by Mr Martin Daniel, mate on board this ship:—" Yesterdavanother boy fell overboard, luckily our boats are fitted with Clifford's patent, so she was down in a minute, lowered by me, and tho youngster's life saved. The captain was of course very much pleased, and complimented my namesake ( Daniel V. C.) and myself, who were the officers in the boat, on the smart way in which it was done. The Shannon was going 10 knots at the time, so you may fancy it was sharp work. The boy was very nearly done up." A model cf this fine frigate" has just been placed in the Crystal Palace, 18 feet long, fitted with every improvement lately introduced into the service. It was made and rigged at Mr Eastman's naval establishment at Southsea, and is a credit to that gentleman's establishment.

PETER CRAWLEY AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP. We have just received the following letter :— London, July. 20, 1857. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : In your paper of the 21st of June last, in your sketching the fights for the Championship, I read with great surprise, aud some regret, that the renown of an old friend ( Peter Crawley) should have a slur cast upon it, after a lapse of thirty years, in respect to his fight with the then champion, James Ward, who bravely won his laurels to entitle him to that position. You attribute his victory to accident. In the account of the fight, taken from Pierce Egan's paper, dated Jan 7, 1827, I take extracts, as follows, from " Round 7. Hit for hit, blpw for blow, whack for whack, claret for claret, thump for thifmp, sticking to each other, fearless, and evincing the highest courage in nature. " 10. The combatants stuck to nothing else but downright milling. " 11. Peter planted a left- handed hit with effect on Jem's mouth, and he was floored on his bark, aud Jem was as dead as a house, and the battle won by Crawiey." Extracts from the remarks on the battle :— " Crawley, in the above battle, proved himself a pleasing, cool, confident boxer. He could stop skilfully, hit the hardest, aad receive punishment without losing his temper." Now, sir, after that description of the fight, I think it may be fairly stated the battle was won by prowess, and not as you state by accident. Iu Bell's Life, Jan 7,1827 ( in error the type is set 1826), respecting their appearance after the fight, at the Tennis Court, I extract as follows:—" Peter Crawley next made his appearance, when Peter said ( in reference to challenges received by him):—' As a winning man, he felt it his duty to say that he never had been engaged with a better man than Ward ; indeed, he thought he was as good a man as himself. By good fortune he had won the fight, and he felt a conscious pride that he had been able to achieve so noble a feat, and in reply to challenges he had from that day forth determined to resign the character of a prizefighter, and he would not enter the ring again for the King of England. In making this declaration he meant no disrespect to the patrons of the Ring." This w& s alike credi- table to his heart as well as head; who but a brave man would have made such a declaration ? Was it anything bul good fortune to be enabled to achieve by strength and skill a victory over the best man in England? It was a manly pride in Crawley, and a noble remark to uphold so bravo a man as Ward, that induced him to make that assertion, and ungene- rous in you to pervert the true meaning and intent of such a declaration to detract from the merit of so brave a man at this lapse of time, when the present readers of your paper may have been unacquainted with the fact of the fight. I therefore call upon you, in fairness and honour, to acknowledge your error by insertisn of this letter, to gratify, and as an act of justice to so brave a man, who, in the decline of life, feels acutely such a slur cast upon his victory, in which he feels a justifiable pride. — Yours, & c, A PUPIL OF CRAWLEY'S THIRTY YEARS SINCE. [ We have only to state, in reply to the above, that we never had the least intention to cast any slur upon the gallant Peter, Our only object in alluding to his battle with Ward was to show why he did not hold the office of Champion. We used the word " accident" instead of the expression " good fortune" from for- getfulness of the real words used by Peter, HAERY OBME . AND MB CUTTING.— We have received the fol- lowing from Harry Orme:—" Mr Editor: In last week's Bell's Life you stated you should be glad to hear on what grounds I withheld the bets on the late fight between Harris and Baldock. If you remember I called at Bell's Life office previous to the money being given up to Harris, and stated that I should give each party ( for whom I held bets) their own money back, and respect- rully requested you to state so in the Life. I then gave you my reasons, which were, that Baldock was there willing to fight, but the referee gave his decisions before it was possible for Baldock to get ready, whose backers ( on such an unsatisfactory conclusion of the affair) gave me notice not to give up their money staked as bets in my hands, or they would commence legal proceedings to recover the same. So under the circum- stances I considered it best to return each party their own money, myself being of the same opinion as hundreds of others, that tile decision of the referee was anything but j ust or straight- forward. I have returned Mr Cutting the £ 15 staked by him in my hands, and Mr Bunyan can have the £ 2 he staked any time he chooses to call at my house. In conclusion, I must beg leave to observe, there is more noise and unpleasantness caused by such men as Mr C, who never stand £ 1 with a man, but only bet for their own individual benefit, without one thought for the men who fight, than all the rest of the Ring- goers put together, and for the future must decline holding bets for such parties; the office of stakeholder, even for sporting men, not being very enviable. Apologising for the length of this, I am, yours & e, HARBY ORME.—[ We have only one thing tn say, which is that Orme would have done better to hold the bets until he knew the decision of the referee, which, whether right or wrong, is always final in these matters.] TOM SAYERS AND TOM PADDOCK— In reply to our remark last week, on the subject of Tom Sayers's challenge to Paddock, we have received the following from Sayers, which we insert with pleasure, remarking, at the same time, that the gentleman who brought us the challenge OK behalf of Sayers has since called to say he brought it without the knowledge of the gallant Tom, and also iu total ignorance of the fact of poor Paddock's sudden attack:— Mr Editor : Iwas very sorry to read your remarks in last Bell's Life with respect to my challenge to fight Paddock, and still more sorry to hear of Paddock's illness. The challenge was not inserted by myself, as I was at Liverpool races, but by a friend of mine, who was not aware that Paddock was ill. I trust I should be the last to take advantage of such a moment to challenge any one; on the contrary, I willingly contribute £ 5, my mite towards any subscription which may be got up for Tom, and, should there be a benefit for him, which I trust will be the case, and which I should suggest should be on the night before Caunt and Langham's fight, should that day not be too far distant, no one will more willingly pull off his shirt and set- to for him than myself. Whatever I can do for him I will, or for any other brother pugilist who may be in trouble.— Yours, & c, TOM SAYERS.—[ The letter from Tom Sayers is accompanied by £ 5.] CAUNT AND LANGHAM.— The twelfth deposit of £ 10 a side for this match was posted at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's lane, on Wednesday, in the presence of the usual muster of the right sort. The thirteenth, of £ 10 a side, is to be put down at Alec Keen's, Three Tuns, Moor- street, Soho- square, on Wednesday next. Ben is in training at Saltpans, near Sandwich, while Nat is taking his exercise at Dover, Both, however, show every Saturday at their respective domiciles in town. PARKINSON ANDM'NULTY.— It seemsthat Parkinson's friends received the last deposit of £ 3 a side for this match, and now refuse to hand it over to the final stakeholder. They also refuse to come to any terms with M'Nulty. If the money is not forth- coming, aud if they positively decline another meeting, it ap- pears to us that M'Nulty will be entitled to forfeit. TYLER AND TOPPER BROWN,— Bos Tyler and Topper Brown met en Thursday at Harry Brunton's, and drew articles to fight for £ 50 a side, at 9st 101b, on the 13th Oct, They staked £ 5 a side, and are to make the second deposit of £ 5 a side, at Mr Jones's, Duke's Head, Yine- street, Hatton- garden, on Thursday next.

The final deposit of £ 2 a side is to be made at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, on Thursday next. CHAPMAN AND BAKER,— This match is off, Chapman having forfeited. Mr Carr, the stakeholder, must therefore hand over the money down to Baker. G. Sims is matched to fight George King, for £ 25 a side, and they meet to draw up articles and stake a deposit, at Spider's, on Monday evening, between eight and ten o'clock. MALPAS AND PRICE.— Another deposit of £ 2 a side for this match has reached our hands. A further staking of £ 2 a side will be due next week. LANCASTER AND MEEK.— We have received a further stake of £ 3 a side for this affair. The next is to be sent on the 29th inst. THE CHAMPIONSHIP.— HARBY BROOME'S GREAT UN KNOWN.— Mr Editor : As Tom Sayers is now declared Champion of England, and is encircled by the belt, so great an object of ambition, he cannot think that, with his youth and prowess, he will be allowed to rest upon his laurels. I know too much of his courage and prowess to think that he would be contented to challenge men who have retired from the Ring, so I have picked out for him one worthy of his steel. On the Wednesday ( Aug 9) of the Brighton Meeting I will be at your office, ready to sign articles for one who will fight Tom Sayers for £ 200 and the belt, in six months from the signing of articles, at a distance of not less than one hundred miles from London. The ground to be chosen by their mutual friends, and the Editor of Bell's Life to appoint a referee and be stakeholder. In conclusion, sir, I stake my reputation that " The Great Unkuown" will be found worthy of " a passage of arms" with the renowned Tom Sayers. — I am, sir, your obedient servant, HENBY BBOOME. Simon Finighty, being in want of a job, will fight any of the following men at 7st 10lb or 8st, and from £ 10 to £ 20 a side :— J. Norton, Lynch, Sullivan, Young Stamp, or Baker of Mile End. Any of these men can ensure a match by sending a de- posit to the Editor of Bell's Life, and articles to Finighty, at Morris Roberts's, George and Dragon, Wharf- street, Birming- ham.— Orme, on the part of Lynch, has staked £ lwith us, and will send articles to Finighty. E. Roberts, in answer to J. Welsh, says he cannot think of fighting before his recognisances have expired, and as regards Welsh proving that he fRoberts) caused his owa apprehension, he defies proof. Roberts is iu earnest, and he is ready to draw up articles any time to fight for £ 100 to £ 200, the day after his bond expires. If Welsh has any more to say, he can communi- cate with him at his own ( Raberts's) house. Jemmy Shaw will back a man at 8st 41b, also at 8st 61b, for £ 15 or £ 25, against any other novice. Men and money ready to- morrow ( Monday) evening at Jemmy's sparring academy. TOM PADDOCK.— Poor Paddock is still in Westminster Hos- pital. His disease, we learn, is paralysis of the spinal marrow, an attack which leaves no hope that he will again be fit to contend in the P, R. Iu addition to the £ 1 sent by Harry Broome last week we have to acknowledge £ 5 from Tom Sayers, £ 1 2s 6d from the Tipton Slasher, £ 1 from Nat Langham, 10s from W. H., and 10s from Joe Phelps, all of whom express their anxious de- sire to spar for their old pal at his benefit, should it be deter- mined to have one. We trust, ere another week elapses, to have a still larger list of contributions to acknowledge. Harry Broome has handed us the following list of names of gentlemen who have promised to contribute towards the Paddock Fund. Harry says he must decline receiving money himself, and will be obliged by the gentlemen in question sending their contri- butions to us :— E. i\ S„ Esq, £ 1 Is ; W. Watling, £ 1 Is ; B.

QUOITS.— The following is a correct report of the handicap played at Mr Marshall's, Leven Cottage, Edinburgh, on Satur- day, the 18th inst, 24 out of the 33 entries came to the scratch at eleven o'clock:— First ties: Rinks— 1, J. Smart 31, A. Hender- son 2&; 2, W. Ballantine 31, T. Greig 18; 3, H. Adamson 31, J. Archibald 30; 4, R. Walkingshaw 31, E. Gragham 27; 5, G, Walkinghaw 81, T. Dunsire 18; 6, J. Taylor 31, R. Gillespie 24 ; 7, A. Gillespie 31, J. Bernard 26; 8, J. Scott 31, H. Bonthron 24; 9, W. Landall 31, R. M'Lean 28 ; 10, D, Penman 81, J. Bennett 16; 11, W. Rutherford 81, H. Chisholm 25 ; 12, J. Rennie 31, J, Inglis 21.— Second ties: J, Remiie 31, D. Penman 25; G. Walking- shaw 31, W. Landall 30 ; J. Taylor 31, J, Scott 29 ; A. Gillespie 31, H. Adamson 23; R. Walkingshaw 31, W. Rutherford 18, J. Smart 31, W. Ballantine 23— Third ties: J. Rennie 31, J. Taylor 25; A. Gillespie 31, R. Walkingshaw 30; G. Walkingshaw 31, - J. Smart 29.— Fourth ties: J. Rennie 31, G. Walkingshaw 22; A. Gillespie a bye.— Fifth ties: A. Gillespie 31, J. Reunie 18.— The weather was everything that could be wished, and as almost all the players were the " cracks" of their respective districts, many of the games created a great deal of interest, particularly those between Gillespie and Walkingshaw, Rennie and Penman, and Taylor and Scott, each having a strong party, who backed their man with a good deal of spirit, a large amount having changed hands on each of the games. The excitement at the finish of each of these games was very amusing, each party cheer- ing on their man, but more especially so in Gillespie and Walkingshaw's match, which reached its height when Walking- shaw stood 30 to Gillespie's 25. Walkingshaw leading played his first within half an iuch, his party giving a cheer that would have done honour to a Crimean charge; Sandy, nothing daunted, took the shot with his last quoit, led away, covering the pin at every end, and never letting his opponent score again. It was a one- sided affair with Rennie and Gillespie, the latter winning as as'he liked, Rennie beiug completely pumped out with his day's work.

BRIGGS,— These Birmingham men met on Tuesday, near the Mermaid, on the Warwick road, at an early hour, to run their six score yards, for £ 5 a side.

JUMPING MATCH.— JACKSON AND MAHONEY,— Wm. Jack- son of London and Jeremiah Mahoney of Bermondsey met, pur- suant toiarticles, last Monday evening, at Garratt- lane, Wands- worth, to decide their long pending match, to jump five stand- ing jumps, for £ 10 a side, Mahoney to have one foot advantage; each man to have four trials, and the best out of the four to win. The evening was remarkably fine, but the attendance on the ground exceedingly limited, being altogether confined to the backers and immediate partisans of the men. Jackson was the decided favourite at 5 to 4, but We didn't see a single shilling speculated on the event. Umpires and a referee ( Mr Price) having been chosen, the men got ready for work, and Jackson having won the toss, Mahoney proceeded to his scratch and made his first trial; he jumped well, but kept evidently1 much within himself. Jackson next essayed, and with the greatest ease went sixteen inches beyond his adversary. Mahoney in his second trial exceeded this by six inches, a distance which Jack- sou failed to reach; in his third, however, he astonished all the spectators by bounding no less than thirty inches ! in advance, thus covering a space which his opponent in his third rud fourth trials was unable to accomplish, and of course lost the match, Jackson winning by two feet. The distance covered by the winner was 19yds 16in, an average of lift 8in to cach jump. Jackson can have the stakes by calling at our office on Thursday next at twelve o'clock. TOTINE AND WHAITE.— A spin of 150 yards, for £ 20 a side, came off on Monday last, at Trent Bridge Grounds, Nottingham, between Totine of Arnold and Whaite of Nottingham.

AT ASHEOED, Kent, on Thursday last, Fred Garner ( a perfect novice) undertook to walk one mile and ruu 100 yards ia ten minutes, for a small wager, which he did with ease in 9 minutes 48 seconds. KNOTT AND WINKLE.— In a paragraph which appeared in our last respecting the match between these men to run 100 yards, for £ 10 a side, at the Waterfall Gardens, Endon, an error occurred which we are desirous to correct. It was Winkle who forfeited the £ 3, and not Knott, and this some of Winkle's party well knew.

GREAT FIBE IN SOUTHWABK.— A fire broke out at a late hour on Saturday night week, on the premises belonging to Messrs Wilson and Co. Police- constable 185 M was almost in- stantaneously on the spot, and very judiciously broke into the stables and rescued four or five valuable animals. The flames at that period were raging in the saw- mill, a long building 200 feet long by 150 feet wide, fitted up with machinery and containing a costly stock of timber. Adjoining this part of the property piles of timber were stacked, which towered high above the surrounding housetops, so that at one time tho destruction of the adjacent houses appeared inevitable. The light thrown up by the fire caused the engines from every part of London to turn out. The mains of the Southwark, Vauxhall, and Lambeth com- panies were at once drawn, from which an abundant supply of water was procured, but in spite of the most strenuous exer- tions the flames continued to spread with the greatest impe- tuosity, and it was nearly six o'clock on Sunday morning before the conflagration could be extinguished, and not until the whole of the saw- mills, the carpenters and joiners' workshops, several piles of timber, and the stabling had been consumed, and nearly a dozen house3 more or less damaged by fire, water, and removal of goods. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths registered in the week ending July 18th were 1,061, of whom 550 were males and 511 females. The number is under the average. The deaths from diarrhoea had risen to 150. The births were 860 boys and 826 girls— total 1,686.

DEAN'S BENEFIT.— ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. This match, which has been looked forward to with so much interest, since the last, on Whit- Monday will be commenced at Lord's, on Monday, and will be played for the benefit of the renowned Jemmy Dean, who has been twenty- one years » servant to the head and most distinguished cricket club in the world. The subscriptions and attendance ( should tUe weather prove fine) will show how his services hare been appre- ciated; we have every reason to believe that there will be as many in attendance as there were on the occasion of the last match for the Cricketers' Fund. As such an event occurs but once in a player's lifetime, we trust that the numerous admirers of the noble game will not forget Dean as they pass through the fate, where he will on this occasion be posted ( as money- taker), is place in the match being taken by Adams. This is the only alteration that will occur from the last match, should all be well on the morning. A vast amount of money is dependant upon the result. Betting is even; the All England for choice. We shall endeavour, next week, to give the names of the subscribers, which we believe are pretty numerous. Dean has not yet had an opportunity of knowing what his country friends will do for him ; but we hope they will interest them- selves on his behalf. Many excursion trains run from dif- ferent parts, and his own county and other friends will find easy access to London on Monday morning. The umpires will be as before— Barker and Sewell- and the players as follows ALL ENGLAND. A. Clarke Diver Jackson G. Parr UNITED. Hunt Lockyer Lilly white Mort'. ock Anderson Biekley J.

We are unable to publish a full list of the two Elevens for this match, which is to be played on Wednesday and Thursday next, in consequence of the late period at which it was finally decided that the match should come off. Some difficulty, we believe, arose as to whether or no those who are now leaving school will be allowed to play- that matter being settled satisfactorily, the following will form part of the Elevens. The full lists will be printed in the bills by ( to- morrow) Monday. ETONIANS. Lord Tumour I Davey. Esq I W. Mott. Esq T. E. Bagge, Esq E. G. Hornby. Esq F. H. Norman, Esq R. D. Cleasby. Eaq I E. C.

JULY 20.— This annual match was begun at Lord's on Monday last, and terminated on Wednesday morning in favour of the South, and is another auiong the many well- contested matches that have been played on this ground during the present season, riz, Marylebone Club, won with Kent by 5 runs, and they bea* Sussex by 14. The United proved victorious with Cambridge by two wickets. The counties of Kent and Sussex were found to be 15 behind when they tackled England, which number, exactly, the Gentlemen of England wanted when their last man run out at the time they were opposed to their old opponents— the Players of England. This match, it will be seen, ended in favour of South by 14 runs. The wickets were in splendid order, and the weather lovely. As has been the case in most matches this year, the best side, at starting, won the toss. 6 and 7 to 4, and 2 to 1, was laid on the South. The going in first, however, on this ground is not of such vast importance as on some, for when the wickets are prepared, as they were on Monday, they will play throughout the match alike, the soil being of such good wearing order. We should like to see all the eight acres of Lord's Ground as good as the wickets were during this last match, and a very great many more members would take the opportunity of an hour or two's practice. There is no reason why it should not be the case— the largest and most distinguished club in the world— plenty of money, and some of the cleverest men that England can boast of are among its members. At twelve o'clock the bell had cleared the ground, and Caesar and Stephenson were the first to appear at the wickets, against the bowling of Jackson and Nixon. We may add that Anderson did not play, owing to illness, but why Huut and Wright were left out, or did not play, we were unable to ascertain. Messrs M'Cormick and A. Payne were, from some cause or other, absent, and Diver and Nixon were substituted. E. Stephenson played for Anderson. H. Stephenson was bowled by Jackson's fourth ball, and Mr Haygarth by the fourth ball in the next over; one wicket for 1, and two for 7. Caesar was caught at point, and thus three fell for 11. Mr Hankey gave a " skyer" which caused a tetal of 14 for four wickets; Wisden, Mr Drake, and John Lillywhite were summarily disposed of— the fifth for 32, the sixth for 43, and the seventh for 77— most of which were got by Catfyn, who was missed easily in the slip when he had scored 13. Lockyer came, and commenced " lambing" until 159 had been scored! when he was caught in the slip, which had been changed from Parr to Grundy. Lockyer's figures were a six ( drive from Jackson) four fomrs ( three leg hits and a drive), three threes ( two leg hits and a drive), a two and singles; he scored very rapidly, and, as in the Gentlemen and Players match, came to the rescue at the time wanted. Caffyn was shortly afterwards nailed at point, making an innings of 90. Had it not been for his three chances his innings would have been perfect; but he was missed twice easily in the slip; his figures were a five ( leg hit from Bell), nine fours ( cuts, leg hits, and drives), three threes ( drives and a cut), eleven twos and singles. He was loudly applauded as he left the wicket; his, the ninth wicket, fell for 164 runs; Dean got his leg before wicket and the innings terminated at four o'clock for 165. Betting: 2 to 1 on the South. Jackson bowled beauti- fully— very straight and a terrific pace, which Diver had to en- counter as long stop. Out of the seven byes, a four went to the Pavilion. The wickets we thought rather closer to the building than usual; the ball, however, was 110 sooner by the wicket, than it got past Diver and Parr, and rattled against the palings. The North sent in Brampton and E. Stephenson, who made a very good stand against Wisden and H. Stephenson. Willsher had hurt his leg, and, in conse- quence, did not start bowling. Brampton got caught mid off, making a steady 10; one wicket down for 17 runs. Bell's stumps were disarranged, and thus two had fallen for 25. The third ( Tiuley's) went for 33, and the fourth ( Parr's) for 41. It is only in justice to Parr to add that he was very unwell, and so bad on the Saturday previous, that he was obliged to have medi- cal advice. He made two leg- hits for twos, and drove the ball back to Stephenson. Grundy joined Stephenson, and made a good stand ; the latter was playing admirably. Lillywhite was then brought on » t Wisden's end, and succeeded in getting a straight one past Grundy's bat, who had to retire for a score of 14, made by two excellent cuts for threes, two twos, & c ; five wickets down for 75 runs. Chas. Brown made a drive from Lillywhite for five, when Willsher " cautioned" him off; six for 84 and " time." Stephenson, not out, 33. TUESDAY.— The weather was somewhat cloudy, and rain threatened to stop the progress of the game. Stephenson was caught at the wicket after scoring three singles this morning, making an innings of 36, obtained very steadily and well; it com- prised a five ( cut from his namesake), two fours ( drives from Wisden), two threes ( a cut and a square leg hit), four twos, & c. Seven wickets down and 88 runs. Diver played a splendid innings of 33 and brought his bat out; like Stephenson's it was remarkably steady and well played; his figures were two fours lone an excellent cut from Caffyn), three threes ( two cuts and a drive), four twos and singles. This innings was concluded at ten minutes to one o'clock. The bowling was first- rate throughout, though Wisden's was attended with much ill- fortune. South sent in Willsher and Dean, to Grundy and Jackson. Several overs were bowled, but singles were the order of the day, when Jemmy drove to Jemmy— wanting; to " place" one. One for 11. Jackson's bowling, it will be seen, proved very effective; he was evidently " nettled," and tossed them down a terrific pace; his " break- backers" and " shooters" were found somewhat difficult to stop. Mr Haygarth got bowled again by the fast, but he played well for 10. Caffyn was bowled the first ball. Lillywhite and Lockyer made a stand, and brought Tinley, with his fast bowling, on at Grundy's end, who bowled over the wicket, and got Lilly removed the first ball. Lockyer made a fine leg hit from Tinley for five, when Jackson " diddled" him. Mr Hankey and Wisden, however, commenced " collaring"— the former beginning his Gentlemen and Players game. He was, fortunately for the North, gat rid of luckily : he made an excel- lent drive off Jackson, which Bell had to cover in long- field off; this he accomplished, and on Mr Hankey turning and attempting another run, he was run out. One drive he made off Jackson for five. Caesar and Stephenson were the two last; the former made an excellent cut from Jackson for four, and a leg- hit from Tinley for three, when Jackson got one by. The wickets in this innings fell as follows :— one for 11, two for 27, four for 32, five for 46, six for 49, seven for 53, eight for 75, nine for 86. It will be seeu that Jackson obtained eight wickets in the first innings and seven in the second. Diver and Stephenson com- menced for the North second innings— there being 136 to get to tie. Wisden and Willsher started, both of whom bowled seve- ral maidens, when Willsher got Stephenson caught in the slip. Brampton came, and was bowled the first ball. Diver was caught by the wicket- keeper, making a drive from Wisden for five, a cut from him for four, two twos, & c. Tinley and Parr were just getting warm together, when Stephenson was tried at Wisden's end, and succeeded, in his fourth over, in getting rid of Tinley, who played a not over- good innings of 12, made by two fours ( cuts), and a drive from Lilly for three. Grundy was bowled the first ball, and Parr had soon to follow, Willsher bowling him the first ball after he had again taken the ball which Lilly had been trolling for eight balls and 14 runs. Parr played a magnificent innings again, comprising drives from Willsher for a five and a four, three threes ( drives from WiU- sher, and a splendid square- leg hit from Stephenson), two twos, and singles; his, the sixth, wicket fell for 6a, and it was then thought " all up" for the North. Bell and Brown, however, came to the rescue, and ran up a total of 9 7. Caffvn was tried at Willsher's end, off whom Brown made four the first ball; the next, however, scattered the wicket- keeper's stumps, he making a good 16 by two fours, a three, two twos, & c. Nixon joined Bell, and as a drizzling rain ( which had been annoying them more than half an hour) came dawn sosae- what faster than could be well borne, the players made their exit, which left the game unfinished that day. Bell, not out 24; total 104, or 33 to eet and three wickets to fall. WEDNESDAY.— This morning the game was resumed at hair- past eleven o'clock, and was concluded at ten minutes past twelve, Bell bringing out his bat, and adding 7 more to his already obtained 24. He played an excellent innings, and is deserving of much credit for his steadiness; his figures were four fours ( cuts, leg- hit, and a drive), two threes ( drive and a leg- hit), two twos, & c. Jackson was busy, but Mr Drake got in his way, and thus the South were declared the victors by 14 runs. The bowling of Willsher, Stephenson, and Caffyn was again first- rate, and the long- stopping of Dean and Diver particularly good — of the latter especially, as he had to stop Jackson. B'Ckley was unable to bowl much, in consequence of his bad thumb, which evidently required rest. The fielding of both sides we noticed as particularly good, in fact a very flee display of cricket was exhibited, and, 110 doubt, had the North played their strength, they would have pulled off the victory. Two other North and South matches are to be played this season, one at Tunbridge Wells, and the other at Nottingham. Score: 2d inn 7 6 10 0 .. 16 SOUTH. 1st inn J.

KENT v MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND. This match was commenced at Gravesend on July 16th, but owing to some unknown reason the M. C. did not arrive on the ground till half- past twelve. Mr Walker, having won the toss, sent in Mr R. Marsham and Grundy to the bowling of Willsher and Hollands. The latter bowled Mr M. for 5, and Grundy having run out, and Stephenson being caught by Adams off Hollands, Messrs C. Marsham and Ford became partners, and caused several changes in the bowling, till at last Goodhew bowled the latter. He played very steady for 17. Mr V. E. Walker and Royston toeing disposed of, Mr J. Walker joined C. Marsham, when the latter was bowled by Hollands. He played a splendid innings of 50, and, as will be remembered, scored the same number in this match last year. Hollands disposed of the remaining wickets, Mr J. Walker scoring 16. The innings closed for 115. Kent sent in Adams and Fryer to the bowling of Nixon and V. E. Walker. The latter bowled Fryer, and Nixon did the same to Adams; two wickets, 13 runs. Bennett and Goodhew then got together, and caused a change in the bowling, when Goodhew left his ground ( for reason we are at a loss to know) and was stumped by J. Walker off Nixon, having quickly put 16 on paper. Willsher, Clifford, and Mr Norton being dis- posed of, Mr Andrews became the partner of Bennett, and well they played till 100 was exhibited on the telegraph, when Mr Andrews was bowled by R. Marsham, and Bennett having run out, the innings closed for 108 for the county, being seven in a minority. FRIDAY.— M. C. began with Chatterton and Stephenson. The latter was caught the last ball of Hollands first over, and Chat- terton was missed the second over. Royston began with a four off Hinkly, and after running the score to 42, was caught by Hollands off Goodhew, who had gone on at his end. He played very steady for 11. Mr. J. Walker took his place, but was caught by Hinkly off Goodhew. Mr C. Marsham came, when Chatterton ran out, after making 32, in a determined style. Hollands, Mr C. Marsham, when Grundy and R. Marsham got hold and fairly collared the bowling, till at last Mr Andrews nailed Grundy at short leg off Willsher. Mr V. E. Walker played well for 18, making a splendid cut off Willsher for four, and Mr Marsham brought out his bat for a well- got 16, including a splendid drive from Willsher for five, another for four, and one from Hollands for four. The innings closed for 115, the same as before, leaving the county 123 to win. Adams and Fryer again took the bat to the bowling of Nixon and V. E. Walker, who soon disposed of both, when Bennett and Good- hew again got together, and ran the score to 53, when Goodhew was again stumped by Chatterton off Nixon. He injured his thumb so that he Gould not hold his bat. He scored 26 in a masterly style. Willsher and Mr Norton being disposed of, Clifford joined Bennett, and again were the hopes of Kent in the ascendant, when Bennett played the ball to Grundy at point. He made another good innings of 25. The remaining wickets being disposed of, Clifford brought out his bat for 21, having exhibited a fine defence, but, as we said last week, we fear his power of hitting has left him. The innings closed for 92, leaving the club victorious by 30 runs. We much regret having to an- nounce that unless this well- regulated club receive considerable additional support, it will, we fear, cease to exist. We, how- ever, still hope that the lovers of Kent cricket will step forward to enable the secretary to bring his team into the field to com- pete with other counties.

SURREY CLUB ( WITH THREE PLAYERS) V OXFORDSHIRE. JULY 23— This return match was begun at the Oval on Thursday. The contest was looked forward to with interest, from the fact that, on both sides, some of the best players in England were playing. The weather was beautiful; the wickets were well prepared ; and the umpires, Brockwdl and Bacon, having got into their positions, play commenced, Surrey going first to the wickets, to the bowling of Mr C. D. Marsham and Nixon. Stephenson, after being " let off" before scoring, did great mischief, playing a brilliant innings of 73, comprising a five ( drive from Drake), two fours ( one an excellent drive from Marsham), seven threes ( drives and leg hits), seven twos, & c. Mr Miller made a good cut for four from Nixon in his innings of 9. Caffyn was caught at point; he made a leg- hit from Fiennes for five in his innings of 11. Mr Lane put a good 16 together, when he was caught at point, apparently off his leg. Mr Smith also put together a good 16, composed of a five ( drive from Drake), a three, a two. and singles. Mr Burbidge was ran out, the ball being well thrown by Mr C. D. Marsham, and taken by Saul, who kept wicket exceedingly well. The long- stopping of the Hon E, C. Leigh was also very good, As usual, Mr C. D. Marsham worked and bowled admirably. Mr Hoare, whose re- appearance delierhted all, made a splendid off drive from Drake for five. Mr Vyse made a drive from him for three, but no one afterwards stopped with him to allow of his doing much more, and he therefore had the not out attached to his name. The wickets fell as follows:— First for 2, second for 24, third for 56, fourth for 88, fifth for 99, sixth for 103, seventh for 113, eighth for 137, ninth for 145. Oxfordshire sent in theHonsE. C. Leigh and W. Fiennes ; Lockyer got rid of the latter, and Mr Miller very cleverly disposed of the former, throwing him clean out while attempting a second run. Mr Leigh's figures were a three, two twos, & c. Mr R. Marsham also played a very steady innings, and saw three wickets go before him. Mr Drake was caught long- on, soon putting together 12, by drives for a three and a two and singles. Mr C. D. Marsham played a splendid innings, making one very fine drive off Stephenson for five, also for a three ; with two twos and singles he reached 21. The Hon Cecil Fiennes played an excellent innings of 12, making a cut and a square leg- hit for fours. Mr Cobb, a gentleman from Banbury, plays in excellent form, and brought out his bat for a well obtained 16, made by a three ( drive from Stephenson), four twos ( drives and cuts), & c. The innings terminated at a quarter past six o'clock. Mr Miller came on for a change at Caffyn's end, and got rid of Mr C. D. Marsham, who was caught at point; haviag disposed of Fletcher, he again gave the ball to Caffyn, who, in this innings did not bowl so well as he has been doing every match this season. Stephenson appears again to have got back his bowling; he was very straight throughout the match. Surrey commenced their second innings with Messrs Vyse and Oliver, the former got his leg before wicket, the latter played a steady innings of 9, in which was a cut from R. Marsham for four, who started bowling with his brother C. D. At half- past seven o'clock, when the stumps were drawn, 41 runs had been scored for the loss of two wickets ; Mr Miller ( not out) 12, and Caffyn ( not out) 13. FRIDAY.— Caffyn was got rid of by the wicket- keeper, adding only 2 to his previous score. Mr Miller and Stephenson got in together, and completely collared the bowling. Mr Leigh at last made a splendid catch in the long field from Mr Drake; it was well judged and just got to, when very close to the ground. Stephenson's 36 was obtained in a masterly manner, and comprised three fours, two threes, two twos, and singles. After Mr Miller was disposed of, Mr Drake's slows proved very destructive, getting Mr Lane caught mid- on, and bowling Messrs. Hoare and Smith. Mr Miller did not give a chance, and played as fine an innings as need wish to be seen, when Nixon bowled him off his legs; his figures were a six ( splendid drive from Nixon), a five ( drive from Drake), a four ( drive from R. Marsham), four threes ( of which there was a square leg- hit and two cuts); the rest were singles. He remained to see four wickets fall. The wickets fell as fol- lows :— one for 2, two for 10, three for 48, four for 59, five for 123, six for 128, seven for 136, eight for 137, nine for 138. Mr Burbidge was playing well, and had, to bring out his bat for five singles. The innings finished, at a quarter past two o'clock, for 139, leaving Oxfordshire the task of 187 to get to win. At dinner time 15 runs were scored for the loss of one wicket- Mr C. Marsham, who made an excellent drive off Stephenson for four. The work for Oxfordshire was now to play Stephenson ; he was bowling admirably. Mr R. Marsham played a splendid innings, and it was much regretted that he had to leave the wicket as he did. Mr Leigh drove the ball back for a catch to Mr Miller, who missed it, and a run was then atempted, but Mr Burbidge threw, and knocked the wicket down that Mr Marsham was making for, and only just before he lauded his bat. His innings of 34 comprised a four ( leg- hit), four threes ( two cuts and leg- hits), and four twos ( principally cuts). Mr Drake made a drive and a leg- hit for a four and a three, when Mr Miller got in his way at long- field. Mr C. Marsham was got rid of by a " popper." The Hon E. C. Leigh was again getting a footing, when he was well caught by Mr Oliver, the long- stop, who had several yards to go before he accomplished the feat; his figures were a four, two threes, and a single. Mr Fletcher made two capital leg- hits for fours. Mr Saul got busy, and made a magnificent drive from Stephen- son for six, but ran one short; his other figures were a three, two twos, & c. Nixon having run out, the game was decided in favour of Surrey by 78 runs. The bowling and fielding were too good to admit of many runs being got, and the match was con cluded at ten minutes past six o'clock. Score : SURREY. 1st inn 2d inn F. P.

The return match between these clubs was played at the beautiful ground at Southgate, on July 20th and 21st, where splendid wickets had been prepared for the match. Southgate, having won the toss, sent in Mr F. Walker and Chalkley, who, before they were parted, made 64. Hearne came next, and, with Mr F. Walker, sent the ball to all parts of the field, the " new Surrey pet" bowler being completely done up. Bowler after bowler was tired, till at last Hearne was caught off Taylor, who had been bowling very well; the telegraph announced 212 for two wickets! Mr F. Walker stopped till 257 runs were obtained, when he was caught by Capt Fyfe, having been missed by that gentleman when he had obtained 127. His splendid innings of 170 comprised a most magnificent drive from Griffiths for seven, a six, drive from Taylor, two fives, splendid drive and a cut from Griffiths, twelve fours, drives, cuts, and leg- hits from every bowler, twelve threes, nineteen twos, and twenty- five singles. His innings was certainly one of the finest ever wit- nessed, and occupied about three hours and a half. Messrs Vyse, J. and A. H. Walker added considerably to the score. Mr J. Walker made a splendid drive from Griffiths for six, a drive from Napper for five, & c. Mr A. H. Walker's comprised a square leg- hit from Miller for five, a drive from the same bow. er for four, a cut from Griffiths for four, & c. The total of the innings amounted to 372! Griffiths bowled well to start with, but having been completely " collared" by the first batsmen, he lost his pluck, and slung them in at random. Southgate occupied the wickets the whole day. On Tuesday, Surrey went to the wickets, but Mr Miller was the only one who made a double figure, scoring rather a lucky 22; the innings amounted to 49. In the second innings, Mr Miller contributed 39 by some good hits, Mr C. Hoare 22, and Mr Cattley 15— in all 99. Moordy, who came down on Tuesday to get an innings ( they being a man short on the previous day), contributed 3 and 2. The fielding of Southgate was very good— Southgate winning this extraordinary match in one innings and 224 runs to spare! Score: SOUTHGA. TE. F. Walker, Esq, c Fyfe, b Miller. 170 J.

ME EDITOR : I read, with no little satisfaction, on Monday last, a letter in The Times from " Paterfamilias," relative to the public school matches. It is refreshing, in these days of hum- bug and cant, to see that the good old English spirit yet lingers among us. It is still more so to see the stronghold, whence the enemies of Lord's issued. forth on their fell mission, sacked and destroyed at one blow. I allude to the " remonstrances and re- presentations of parents and guardians," " the pressure from without," & c, & c— most cogent arguments by which the Eton and Winchester authorities vindicated the abolition of the matches. It seems " Paterfamilias" is not entirely the metho- distical, croaking spoilsport he was represented. And I beg to tender him my thanks, as an old Etonian, for bis good services. He ought to have a medal. But, agreeing with him in all be- sides, there are one or two points on which I beg, with all humility, to differ. First, he seems to wish that the matches should be played during the school time, at Lord's. Now it has been urged on the part of those who object to the matches, that the wish for distinction at Lord's directs the energies of the schoolboys more to the attainment of proficiency in the cricket field than is compatible with the due pursuit of knowledge. Now, were this so ( which, from actual experii nee, I deny), there might be something in the argument; but it appears to me that if the match to come off in the holidays is an interruption to study, the match played in the middle of the school time must, a fortiori, be doubly so. Again, " Paterfamilias" talks of the several public schools being conducted bodily to Lord's, under surveillance. This is impossible. How can thirty ( it may be) masters keep under surveillance 1,400 boys, or what sort of surveillance would it be ? Besides, would not parents and friends take the opportunity of meeting sons, & c, at Lord's ? Would not hundreds of the public resort thither, as heretofore? Supposing a " Paterfamilias" should ask the privilege of being allowed to take his son under his paternal care for a short time. Would the master in charge reply that " Paterfamilias" was an improper person to be entrusted with so responsible a guardian- ship? Might not " Paterfamilias" resent such an insult ? Might he not strike the pedagogue in the midst of the nose? But if the not unreasonable request of Paterfamilias were granted, then surveillance would be at an end, and the masters might as well come to Lord's in a private capacity. Further, who is to bear the charges of the several journeys from Eton and Harrow to Lord's and back, supposing the matches lasted several days, as is generally the case ? The journey from Winchester more- over would be doubly or trebly more expensive. Besides, school- boys in the open air, all day, sometimes require to eat. Heat of summer sometimes excites thirst. Are they to have no other refreshment than the " feast of reason and the flow of soul"? Who is to pay for all this,? I presume " Paterfamilias." Aye, and to pay more heavily than if his sons were staying at the houses of relations and friends in London as heretofore, which I am sure was the case with ninety- nine boys out of a hundred. So nothing is gained by the new motion, even on the ground of economy. Lastly, it is nearly impossible that the heads of the public schools could give several days whole holiday in the midst of school time. They would not do it. So the Elevens might get liberty to play out the match, while their school- fellows would get no more than one day's holiday. Most unfair upon them, the most interested spectators. No! I must be allowed to have it that Lord's is the place, aud the vacation the time, for the playing of the public schools' matches. Apologising, sir, for having trespassed so long on your patience, I have the honour to be, yours, & c, FLOBEAI ETON A. London, July 24,1857. THE SUSSEX EIEYEIF.— Mr Editor: The recent easy victories obtained by Surrey and Kent over Sussex lead one to scan more closely, than had the results been otherwise, the men who com- prise the Sussex team. It must be allowed by any unbiassed observer that the Sussex Eleven has for the last two years sadly fallen off, while their opponents, both Surrey and Kent, have equally improved. In the present Sussex Eleven I do not see the names of Messrs Hale, Paine, or Page; but surely they ought to be? The following eleven would, I am confident, show to •; nuch greater advantage in the field than the one we have been accustomed to see this year, viz, J. Hale, Esq, Page, Esq, E. Napper, Esq, J. Wisden, J. Dean, G. Wells, J. Lillywhite, Stub-- berfield, E. Ellis, G. Brown, J. Coppinger. All the above gen- tlemen and Players are personally unknown to me, and I am, therefore able to give an unbiassed opinion, and from having for for many years resided in Sussex, I have had frequent oppor- tunities of witnessing the play of all the above- mentioned. I have been much disappointed at the manner the Sussex Eleven have lately " cut up," and I shall therefore feel much obliged by the insertion of this letter in your next impression. — Yours, & c, AN OLD HAND.

The Bulls have in some instances closed their ac- counts, and the speculators for a fall have been encouraged to extend their operations. The variation, however, has not been important, and Consols yesterday afternoon closed at 92f 4 for money, and at 91| for the 6th of August, being a decline of | per cent on the rates current this day se'nnight. The New Three per Cents and Reduced Annuities have been influenced by the movements in the Funds, and Exchequer Bills, owing to an in- creased demand for money, have rather declined. The latest prices on Friday afternoon of the English Funds were :— Bank Stock, 215 16 | Exchequer Bills, 10s to 4s dis Reduced Annuities, 91f | j India Bonds, under £ 1,000, — Consols, 91f 4 India Stock, 214i 164 New 3 per Cents, 91$ 92 1 Consols for Account, 91$ Long Annuities, 2 7- 16 i I There has been a very limited business transacted in the Foreign Stock Market during the week, and the chief variations in prices have been in Turkish Six per Cents, which receded about l j per cent, but they subsequently recovered a portion of the decline. Russian Five per Cents have been firm, and ad- vanced about 1 per cent, Mexican declined 4 and Spanish about 4. Peruvian, Dutch, Belgian, and Portuguese Bonds were steady. The latest prices of the Foreign Funds on Friday afternoon were :— Belgian, 96 98 Brazilian, 100102 Chilian, 102 4 Equador, 134 144 Grenada, 22 3 Mexican 224 Peruvian, 81| Portuguese, 444 454 Russian, 111 Sardinian, 88 90 Spanish 3 per Cents, 404 Do Deferred, 25i Do Passive, 54 6 Turkish 6 per Cents, 94f Ditto, 4 per Cents, 102| Venezuela, 34 36 Dutch 24 per Cents, 634 44 Ditto 4 per Cents, 974 984 In the Railway Share Market during the past week the dealings were rather numerous, and values which had pre- viously an improving tendency showed symptoms of a decline, the flatness in the Consol Market having exercised an unfavour- able influence. The decline in the values of most of the prin- cipal lines has been about 1 to 2 percent. Cheshire and Holy- head, Great Western, North Western, South Western, and Mid- land receded about 1; Caledoniau, North Eastern ( Berwick), and South Eastern, 1J to 14 ; and Brighton, Great Northern, North Eastern ( York), and North British, 14 to 2 per cent. The French and Canadian lines have shown considerable depres- sion, Paris and Lyons having declined 2 to 24 per cent, Northern of France 4. Grand Trunk of Canada receded 2 to 24, Great . Western of Canada about 4, and East Indian advanced 2 to 24. British, Foreign, and Colonial Mining Shares have been in- active, the chief alteration being in Cobre Copper, which have declined fully £ 4 to £ 5. Joint- Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were moderately dealt in, Bauk of Australian declined about £ 1, and London and County 5s. Australian Agricultural Shares receded about 10s, and Electric Telegraph advanced 10s. TnE MOOES.— The favourable opinion which we expressed early in the season of the sportsman's prospects is now corrobo- rated by the press generally throughout the country. Rare ex- ceptions may happen, bnt they are only exceptions. The season has been the best for breeding for the last thirty years. Part- ridges and hares are numerous beyond precedent, and, what is somewhat curious, woodcocks are this year breeding in Scotland, not merely in rare and dubious instances, but freely and nume- rously. In Perthshire, in the Aberfoyle district, they abound, and also iu many parts of Argyllshire. In our own county grouse are plentiful and strong. On the Marquis of Hastings' moor, Rowallan and Kingswells, there is a greater show of grouse at this moment than within the memory of man. The same may be said of the Renfrewshire moors. So much for our sharply criticised prognostications, giving every promise of full fruition.— Ayr Observer. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.- THE CONSERVANCY OF THE THAMES.— Lord FET LEONARDS, in moving the second reading of this bill, explained the circumstances under which it was introduced. At one time the City thought themselves entitled to the bed and shores of the Thames, as far as the tidal waters flowed. This ri* ht was contested by ths Crown ; and, after some time, an agreement was come to, aud was embodied in this bill, by which alltherights of the Crown and of the City in the bed and shores of the 1 bames were vested in a board of conservancy. If any objections were entertained in respect to the present measure, they would probably relate to the constitution of the board. The Government aud the corporation had thought it right to establish a new board of conservancy, to the powers of which, he believed, no fair objection could be made. The bill proposed tnat the board should consist of the following members :— The Lord Mayor for the time being, two aldermen, and four com- mon councilmen ; those aldermen and common councilmen to be chosen expressly by the common council as conservators. The other members of the board would consist of the following persons :— The Deputy Master of Trinity House for the time being, a conservator to be named by the Trinity House, two to be named by the Admiralty, and one by the Board of Trade. It would be impossible to name five persons more fitted to perform the duties of conservators. The bill would not so much create new rights, as transfer existing rights to a new body. Nothing was more reasonable than that the City Corporation should have the majority proposed to be given to it by the bill. The corpo- ration had expended £ 50,000 out of their funds in improving the river Thames, for which they claimed no compensation whatever. The noble and learned lord concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time.— After some opposition, the second reading was carried by 44 to 5. TUESDAY. THE JEWS IN PARLIAMENT. Lord CAMPBELL asked the Lord Chancellor for information as to ths state of the appeal to their lordships' house in the case of Miller v Salomons, which turned on the question whether Jews could lawfully sit in Parliament.— The LOED CHANCELLOR re- plied, that the case had been deferred from time to time on the petition of bath parties. It would now probably stand over till next year, as the session was too advanced to allow of its being heard. Some other business was then despatched, and their lord- ships adjourned. THURSDAY.- Several bills having been advanced a stage, the house adjourned. FRIDAY.— Beyond routine business nothing of importance was transacted. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— FALKIRK ELECTION.— The return of Mr James Merry for the Falkirk district was declared void. THE BOMBAY AND MADRAS ARMIES.- In reply to an inquiry by Mr ROEBUCK, Mr V. SMITH stated that no informa- tion had been received by the Government of any disaffection among the native troops at Bombay ; and that his impression from the last accounts was, that none whatever had made its appearance in either the Bombay or the Madras army. SAVINGS' BANKS.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr BAXTER, stated that it was not his intention to persevere in carrying on the Savings' Bank Bill this session, and he subsequently withdrew the bill. INDIA, THE ARMY, CHINA, & c.— Mr BENTINCK, agree- ably to notice, called attention to the state of the naval and mi- litary defences of the country, with the view of obtaining from the Government some more satisfactory information upon the subject than had been afforded in the replies of Lord Palmer- stou and Sir C. Wood.— Lord A. VANE TEMPEST wished to learn what measures the Government proposed to take, in order to replace the large force about to be sent abroad.— Lord PAL- MERSTON said, as far as regarded the defences of the country and the state of Europe, there was no reason for calling upon Parliament for a greater amount of force than had been voted ; but if au emergency should arise, an application could be made to Parliament. It was true that a portion of the force had been required in India ; but, to fill up the gap, recruiting had been ordered, which would go on without requiring any assistance from Parliament. To have recourse to the militia would be a very expensive mode of recruiting for the line; Government had no power to embody the militia, except in certain exigencies, without the sanction of Parliament. Iu reply to Lord Vane Tempest, the noble lord stated that the amount of force either embarked, or under orders for India, was about 20,000 men—> partly recruits for the European Corps iu the service of the company, partly infantry of tne line, partly cavalry, and about 1,000 artillery. If it should be found necessary to send further reinforcements, the Government would apply to Parliament.— After some remarks made by Mr LINDSAY and Sir C. NAPIER upon naval matters, Sir C. WOOD thought it more convenient to confine himself to the questions raised by Mr Bentinck, and especially the observations of Mr Lindsay and Sir C. Napier, to which he gave detailed replies. He asserted that, while there was less prospect » f any war, the naval defences of the country were in a better condition than for the last 40 years.— Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Government to give some further expia- tion as to our unfortunate quarrel with China. He wished like- wise for more explicit information with respect to the diversion of the troops destined for China to India, not being able to un- derstand, he said, whether the Government had distinctly au- thorised this diversion. He was gradually led to discuss, at some length, the merits of the Chinese quarrel, and contended that the house ought to know what were the intentions of the Government with reference to this quarrel, and what was the force which they designed to employ in carrying theui into exe- cution.— Sir C. WOOD, in reply, gave a narrative of operations, in w hich he justified the conduct of the British authorities in China, defending Sir M. Seymour against the charge of wan- tonly bombarding the peaceable parts of Canton. The inten- tions of the Government, he observed, had been already ex- plained by Lord Palmerston— namely, that Lord Elgin had been instructed to open negotiations direct with Pekin. A force of 5,000 troops had been sent out to China, as well as gun- boats • but, as a greater necessity arose for tke employment of the troops in India, the whole of them > ere diverted from China thither, part by Lord Elgin's authority, and part by orders for- warded from home. If any hostilities should take place in China it would be at Canton alone ; in every other part of China we were on the best possible terms with the authorities and the people.— After some further discussion the matter dropped. PROBATES OF WILLS.- The honse then went into com- mittee again upon the Probates and Letters of Administration Bill, for the consideration of the new clauses.— A series of clauses was proposed by the ATTORNEY- GENEBAL, and agreed to, authorising the Court of Probate to cause questions of fact to be tried by a jury before itself, or direct an issue to a court of law. TOLLS ON CHELSEA BRIDGE.—- On the order for the second reading of the Chelsea New Bridge Bill, a conversation grew up of considerable lesgtli on the subject of the tolls on foot passengers, which were originally intended to be a secu- rity for repayment of the outlay, but which it was now pro- posed to abolish.— Mr BENTINCK moved to defer the second reading for three months.— The second reading was, however, carried by 94 to 74.— The bill was ordered to be referred to a select committee. TUESDAY— LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S JEW BILL.— Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the act 1st and 2d Victoria, chap 105, intitled " An Act for re- moving Doubts as to the Validity of certain Oaths." His object, he said, was to bring in a bill declaratory of what he believed to be the general principle of the law of this country, and to apply it to the High Court of Parliament. That principle, established in the case of Omichnnd v Barker, was that oaths were to be taken in the form and manner binding upon the conscience of those who took the oath. In the Oath of Abjuration, the words, " on the true faith of a Christian," it was clear, from the origin of the oath, were Hot a test of the Christianity of the person taking the oath, but of his loyalty ; and the practice of Parlia- ment, in the case of Quakers, showed that those words were not of the substance, but of the solemn form of the oath, to make it more binding upon Roman Catholics. It appeared to him that, with the concurrence of the Government, and with a large majority of the House of Commons in its favour, the other house would not reject the bill. Looking to the course taken taken by the House of Lords in the case of Lord Wensleydale, he thought it was somewhat grating to the House of Commons, and even humiliating, to be told that it had not the power to permit a member elected by the city of London to take his seat in that house.— After some discussion, Lord PALMEBSTON said he would support the motion, though he must reserve his ob- servations upon the bill until he saw more clearly what its pro- visions were. But he could not undertake to postpone Govern- ment business for the purpose of passing this bill.— Ultimately a division took place, and the motion was carried by 246 to 154. Several bills were forwarded, and the house then adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.— A large portion of the time appropriated to private business was occupied in the discussion of a clause inserted by the House of Lords in the Great Northern Railway ( Capital) Bill, declaring the liability of the dividends of the preference shareholders equally with those of the ordinary shareholders for the losses arising from the frauds of Redpath. It was urged among other grounds of objection to this clause, especially by Mr Lowe, that its insertion was beyond the jurisdiction of the committees of both houses, and that the courts of law should be left to decide the question of liability upon a construction of the legal instru- ments by which each class of shareholders held their rights.— The house ultimately resolved to disagree with this amendment of the Lords. The Married Women Bill was referred to a select committee. The Tenant Right ( Ireland) Bill was withdrawn after a brief discussion. The Burial Acts Amendment Bill was passed threugh committee. The Bankruptcy and Insolvency ( Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. Some other bills were advanced a stage, and some were passed. THURSDAY.— THE SUPERANNUATION BILL.— Lord NAAS moved the second reading of the Superannuation Bill.— Mr WILSON moved as an amendment that the bill should be read a second time that day three months. THE ORDER OF THE BATH.— At the evening sitting Lord HOTHAM drew attention to the existing practice by which the insignia of the Order of the Bath, conferred upon military or naval officers, were required to be returned after the death of the wearers. He complained of this practice as being unseemly, and urged a further complaint touching the tawdry materials of which the " Star" was composed, being, in fact, mere tinsel, which no officer could wear, but was obliged to have a more pre- sentable decoration made at his own expense.— Sir W. CODEING- TON confirmed the statements, and echoed the complaints of the noble lord.— Lord PALMEESTON considered that the return of the insignia after an officer's decease was unobjectionable. Re- specting the materials of which the star was composed, he thought the question well deserved consideration by the house, with whom it lay to vote the money for the cost of medals and decorations. SUPPLY.— The house then went into committee of supply, and several votes were agreed to. FRIDAY- DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CLAUSES BILL.— The second reading of this bill was opposed by Mr HENLEY and Mr GLADSTONE, A long debate ensued, and ulti- mately the second reading was carried by 217 to 130— majority 87, THE BISHOP OE BOND- STREET.— We are glad to hear that this worthy prelate has sufficiently recovered from his severe illness to be enabled to look after the guns of his numerous friends, and see that they are in shooting order for the 12th f August. PREPARATIONS FOR MARRIAGE.— An old maid recently died who left property to the value of nearly £ 8,000. She was all her lifetime getting ready to be married, and had stored up 182 sheets, 63 coverlets, 50 blaHkets, 27 beds, with 1,1201b of feathers, 54 pillows, 53 handkerchiefs, and numerous other articles. SUBSCRIPTION FOR MADELEINE SMITH.— A tradesman in this town ( says the Bertvick Advertiser), having a correspondent in Glasgow, wrote there to inquire whether the report he had heard here was true, to the effect that it was proposed to raise by sub- scription the sum of £ 2,000, to be presented to this unfortunate girl, as au expression of public sympathy. He has received, in reply, the information that a subscription is intended to be made, but that it is not limited to any sum, and is as likely to be £ 10,000 as less ; that an address is about being presented to her father, wherein the tradesmen of Glasgow will express their esteem for him as a neighbour, and sympathy for his family under their present affliction, and a hope that he will forego the intention of expatriating himself ou account of an occurrence which refiects no discredit on him. The variable temperature of the English climate exercises a pernicious influence on the skin, the muscles, and the glands; thus we find erysi- pelas, blotches, boils and quinsey, so prevalent at particular seasons of the year, often engendered and always aggravated by this bane to health. Providentially in Holloway's Ointment we have the antidote before us, eradicating disease, and invigorating the outward organs, whilst the Pills conjointly prevent the recurrence of internal complaints or out- ward inflammation.
