TO CORRESPONDENTS. Questions submitted for answers must have some distinctive feature—" Constant Readers" and " Constant Subscribers" are so numerous that su- ah signatures only produce confusion. Questions if not sent early on Friday morning cannot be answered till the following week. Questions not answered must be repeated. Articles sent for insertion, if rejected, are not preserved.

Mr D and Mr G— Similar incidents to that described occur so often in steeple chases that no notice is taken of them, and we do not think Mr G.' s horse can justly be disqualified under the circum- stances. AQUATICS. Ure, Glasgow— The committee do not stand altogether free from blame in not having given direc- tions more explicit. A chart of the course to be sailed should always be prepared, and a copy given to each of the vessels. " Make Pairlie Buoy" seems to have meant go in the direction of the Fairlie Buoy, and you will find the flag boat, thus giving a known point to find an unknown one; it certainly cannot be con- strued into sailing round it, and the observation of the secretary that you had done right in the first round eannot be taken for much, as in all probability he had sot observed whether you went round the boat or the buoy. It would not have been fair to the other vessels had the commodore come to any other decision, yet, as we have said above, you may fairly attribute some part of your mistake to the carelessness of the committee. T. Plain— 1: She Is entitled to the prize. 2: Wait till the weather is favourable. J W R C— The price of the " Aquatic Guide" is Is; that of the " Oars- man's Guide" we cannot say. They are not to be had at our office, T T— A lugger is a fore and aft T L— Alive and well. Paddy— The guards rowed from London to Oxford ( about 114 miles) in 15h 48min. Nauticus— According to the descrip- tion given the rig scarcely can be called Bermudian. J R— The bets are off. ANGLING. J G— Go to Clifden, Galway, and put up at Carr's Hotel, and the finest white trout rivers and lakes in the empire will be pointed out to you in the vicinity. Send " Ephemera" your address, and he will give you the route seriatim. A Tweed- sider— We have not room this week for your useful commu- nication. " The bag- net fishing in the sea at Scremerston and neighbourhood" was not com plained of before either committee on the Tweed Fisheries' Bills. " Ephemera" will write another article founded on the evidence given before the Lords' com- mittee, which closed its labours on Thurst'ay last. The result has been the passing of an excellent bill.

Docks— The great match was played in London, and won by Stark. RACKETS. P W— If in a dose court Q should have taken the ball served by his adversary; bis partner could not take it unless it were a cut or a short ball within the service line. In an open court a line down the centre of the court divides the partners; the service is in the centre, and the out- players take the ball alternately. If the ball is served twice in one court your partner may take it. The game ball is taken at the option of the out- hand players. NURR AND SPELL. Chance Lost— If a referee were to be sued as you mention, we think very few would undertake the office, BOWLS. Alfred Cook— Apply to any respec- table house where a club is held.

K G— The backer of " not guilty" wins. act of the French Government. Bat newspapers, and ^ hat are even better for such a purpose, well- made sugars, have oome from them to disprove any alleged necessity for slave importa- tion, and to censure it. It is not, however, unlikely that when the scheme becomes known in the colonies, it will m^ et with favour from some men there. So would a proposition* in this country for a renewal of a corn duty on either the fixed or sliding acale; for, even in the midst of the general prosperity, there will be some whe are not prosperous, and such persons arc always ready to attribute their want of success to anything but their own remissness, and to catch at anything which shall appear to justify their self- excuse, and to promise them better fortune. It is true that fresli and sufficient labour can be ob- tained in the colonies on fair and proper terms ; it is true that to fall back on the slave trade would ( among its other mis- chiefs) injure the permanent prosperity of the colonies; but it is no less true that there are some persons whose peculiar cir- cumstances will make them urge on the Government the adop- tion of the mischievous plan, no matter what may be its innate wickedness and its dangerous and dreadful results. The people of this country, who have so nobly purchased the absolute abolition of slavery, must watch to see that they are not defrauded of their dear- bought purchase. For assuredly the bad precedent set by the French Government will be pressed on our own for imitation, and each Government that adopts that bad precedent will join in urging the English Government to adopt it too. The nation must be firm, and then the result will be certain. The production of cotton and of sugar is not neces- sarily confined te the West India slave oolonies, nor even to the slave states of the American Union. DUTIES OF THE BAR. Our attention has been called to a case in the daily papers seriously compromising the character of a learned judge. Some one has reported the spicy parts of his observations, but with- out the corrective gravities which must have been uttered, and which rendered those parts innocuous, and made the doctrines laid down correct. Mr Baron Bramwell is reported to have said—" I hold it to be the duty of every member of the bar to prove, if requisite, that black is white." In this manner his opinion i3 grossly caricatured. Byron has truly said— " One ray the more, one shade the less, . Had half impaired the nameless grace " of a beauty— aud the same rule holds equally good as to au opinion. The qualifying words " by argument" after the word " prove" would make the learned baron s opinion entirely cor- rect and entirely innocent. As it stands, without those words, it looks like an incitement to dishonour in the members of the bar. Such could never have been the intention of the learned baron, nor, considering that he possesses the faculty which the negro lecturer on phrenology described as the faculty of " him know what him about," can we believe that such wai his mode of expression. Even, however, if the words reported were pre- cisely the words uttered, it was the duty of a sensible reporter to Bave a careless speaker from appearing to assert what he never could have meant. The public, however, require to be set right on this matter, for the public entertain very erroueous notions about what judges think, and of what the bar may do and of what the bar ought to do. It is believed that a barrister may impute to an innocent witness a crime which the barrister well knows at the time was perpetrated by his guilty client. Courvoisier's oase is quoted as the authority for this desperately wicked proposition. That case is no authority for it; for, first, if such a thing had been done there, it was peremptorily condemned by the whole bar; but next, and most important, Mr Phillips., who was accused of doing it, emphatically denied the accusation, His denial was a conclusive proof that he thought the impute tiou was one of a disgraceful kind— he adopted, in fact, the opinion of the bar. With the knowledge of a client's guilt, a barrister might try to save that client by arguing that all the evidence is compatible with the client's innocence, or by argu- ing on the possible insufficiency and inconclusiveness of human testimony. But the barrister is not entitled to state as facts things which are not facts, nor to pledge his personal belief or personal character to any thing. His argumeuts may be those which the aceused would use if he possessed sufficient ability, and to that extent the barrister may identify himself with his client, but no farther; he may not so far identify himself as to tell falsehoods such as the prisoner would tell, nor personally malign the witnesses, nor abuse the judge, and utter wishes respecting him such as have often been uttered by prisoners in courts of justice. In mere argument the counsel may argue anything— there is the opposite counsel to countervail him, and there is the judge, supposed to be superior in ability to both counsel, who is to guide the jury to a haven of safety, between the Scylla and Charybdis of the one and the other counsel. Such, we are sure, was the state of the rule which it was Mr Baron Bramwell's in- tention to describe, and such, no doubt, is the rule of the bar. To lay down any other could not have been the learned baron's intention, and it is to be regretted that by some accident or other of judge, reporter, or printer, a mistake of a serious character has been made the subject of public attention. YOUTHFUL SPORTS. Some of our public school directors, being now very far ad. vanced in life ( that fact which alone explains and excuses their error), and quite forgetting what are the joys, and what, indeed, the necessities of young life, have made the attempt to abolish the friendly rivalries of school against school, and college against college. They wish to see milksops, not young men. The man- hood of England must resist this silly attempt. If successful it would cost the country a great deal at first, and would end in destroying the aristocracy, whose sons would chiefly be the victims of this attempt, and who, under its application, would lose that self- possession, courage, and hardihood that now un- doubtedly distinguish them. The next scheme will be to abolish horse raoes, hunting, and yachting, and so reduce England to the condition of a country in which, if the women were to change costumes with the men, no one would be able to distinguish between them. This will not be the true means to recover India, or even to hold our own in Europe. To ADVERTISERS.— Advertisements not exceeding eight lines are charged 5s each, and Is for every extra line.

The spies make plots, involve some few weak men in them, pretend that others are implicated, and, magnifying the dangers which they have created, get a reward proportioned to their activity in forgery and lying. It is possible that some few wretched men may have been betrayed into vague declara- tions of a desire to take away the life of the French Emperor ; but, if so, they have been thus betrayed on the inducements and under the influence of Government spies. It is possible that they have been presented with money, arms, and ammunition by the spies, and have pledged themselves to do whatever the spies proposed. Such stupid people can always be found if Governments will employ persons to find them out, to take ad- vantage of their passions, their necessities, and their vanity, and to stimulate them into a readiness for mischief. The poor wretches are betrayed, as silly sparrows are by bits of glass, to their own destruction. The real murderers are the spies and the Government— the others are but idiots who are made vic- tims, The spies, however, in the case of the alleged French conspiracy, finding that they had not managed to entrap any but mere vulgar pauper fools, have felt the need of garnishing their home- made dish, and have therefore added the names of some well- known men as fellow conspirators with their ignoble victims. Ledru Rollin is one of those added to give a show of importance to the pretended discovery of this spy- made conspiracy. Ledru Rollia flatly denies any connection with any of the persons mentioned in any conspiracy of the kind imputed, and offers to submit to a trial, but requires that that trial shall take place before an English judge and jury, and according to English laws. We confess ourselves pleased with this acknowledgment fre- m M. Ledru Eollin of the fairness of our laws and tribunals. It was hardly to be expected of him, for if ever man was prejudiced against everything English, he was that man. Experience has made him wiser in tnis respect, and he demands this trial in order to show that he has not abused the hospitality of this country. If the French Government really believes the charge against him it will accept the challenge. The legal forms of English judicature would not present any difficulties, and the truth could then be satisfactorily ascertained. Will the French Government have the courage to trust its spies so far as to submit them and their statements to an English trial ? If not, it will stand self- con- demned. Another person, a Signor Campanella, has in like manner flatly contradicted the charge ; and there seems strong reason to believe that all the absentees, whose names have been thus artfully introduced, knew nothing of the conspiracy which the French spies have, for their own purposes, so scandalously concocted. THE NEW SCHEME FOR NEGRO SLAVERY. Idleness and self- indulgence are never at a loss for pretexts. By a curious self- opposition they show an actual industry in creating them. They are active in mischief, though not in any- thing else. The new scheme to restore negro slavery sets up necessity as its excuse. That excuse is utterly unfounded. The pro- slavery men say that labour is wanted for the growth of eotton and of sugar, and no labour can be obtained but that of negroes, and the negroes now in the E uropean settlemeats are not sufficiently numerous. This is the pretence. But it is an idle pretence. The planters who think fit to bestir themselves do not need the aid of new labourers. The Daily News of Thursday contains extracts from colonial papers, showing that there is labour enough, and that there are labourers enough if they are looked after and paid well. Wherever justice has been done to them they have done justice to their employers ; but, of course, if they are neglected and underpaid they will not give their toil to those who do them this double injustice. It is odd enough that the same month which exhibits Europe stirred with scorn and indignation at the sudden discovery that the French Government should so far have disregarded the precepts of Christianity and the honour of France as to have resuscitated the slave trade, exhibits also, in the European news- papers satisfactory declarations from the West India colonies as to the state of the present crop, the manner in which it has been housed and worked, and the hopes of increase for next year. The paragraphs appear almost side by side in the same news- Just as the French Government scheme, framed for MILITAKY INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENT OF TBOOPS FOB INDIA.— The embarkation and departure of the troops under orders for India oontinues at Portsmouth and Dublin. The 42d Regiment arrived at Ports- mouth on Thursday, and were to commence embarking yester- day, The 34th has also arrived at Portsmouth to embark in the Golden Fleece. The James Baines and Champion of the Seas clipper freightshipshadnotarrivedatSpitheadonThursdaynight. The former will embark, as at present arranged, 868 of the 97th Highlanders, besides detachments of the 42d and other troops. The Champion of the Seas is ordered to embark 837 of the 20th Foot, besides a de'achment of the 42d. The Victoria will em- bark 286 Royal Artillery, besides a number of the 42d. As soon as the 34th have embarked in the Golden Fleece, the 54th Regi- ment will proceed to Portsmouth from the camp and most pro- bably embark in the Lady Jocelyn. The Himalaya steam troop- ship, Commander Harwell, arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on the 24th of May from St Viucent's, followed on the 28th by the Transit steam troopship, Commander Chambers, from the same place, which she left 24 hours before the Hima- laya, which we are informed has lost many of her crew and sol- diers by desertion. The Transit had lost four. One man, a quartermaster of the Himalaya, in attempting to leave the ship on the night of the 2d of June, to swim ashore, was drowned. The Penelope, 28, paddle frigate, Capt Sir Wm. Wiseman, ar- rived at Simon's Bay from the Mauritius on the evening of the 3d of June, all well, closely followed by the Barracouta, 6, Com- mander Fortescue, from China, The Himalaya left Simon's Bay on the morning of the 3d of June, at eleven o'clock, and went out of the bay beautifully. She was followed on the next morning by the Transit, which disembarked one officer, 30 men, one woman, and two children of the Royal Engineer corps on the morning of the 29th of May, who proceeded to Cape Town. The Carthage, 1,000 tons was to leave Kingstown yesterday with two companies of the 38th; and the third aud last division of the 1st Royals were to embark on Friday, on board the Defiance, which also takes out a company of the 60th Rifles. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENTS OF SHIPS OF WAE.— The Chesapeake, 61, screw steam frigate, fitting at Chatham for the flag of Commodore Rundle B. Watson, C. B., for the East India station, has been docked, and is being made ready for sea with all despatch. The Racoon, 21, steam screw corvette, is having her machinery placed on board at Chatham, after which she will be docked and made ready for sea. Her Majesty's paddle steamboat, Barracouta, 6, Commander Fortesque, arrived at Spithead on Tuesday after- noon from the China station and the Cape of Good Hope. She left Hong Kong on the 19th of May, " all hands piping hot for a demonstration, and complaining of the Admiral's delay in pass- ing the word." She arrived at the Cape on the 3d of June, and left on the 9th. While at the Cape she had very bad weather, heavy gales from the north- west being prevalent. At Table Bay six vessels went on shore, on Sunday, the 7th; one with a Seneral cargo struck at her anchors, and had six feet of water in er at sunset. The amount of property on the beach was £ 25,000. No lives were lost. DEATH OF ADMIBAL SIB HUGH PIGOT, K. C. H. £ AND K. C. B.— We regret to state that this venerable and distinguished flag officer died on Thursday evening, at his town residence, in Ebury- street, in the 82d year of his age. Few naval men ever served longer or more faithfully than the departed admiral. As a lieutenant of 1794, he was actively employed for a period of eight years, till his promotion to the rank of commauder in 1802. His post rank bears date 1804. Captain Pigot was considered a smart frigate officer, and we find him in command of frigates for nine years during the war, and in the peace that followed he served a further nine years in command of the Ramillies, Talavera, and Barham. Sir Hugh's last commaud afloat was that of com- mander- in- chief at Cork, from 1841 to 1847. By the death of Sir Hugh Pigot au admiral's good service pension of £ 300 a year falls to the gift of Sir Charles Wood. The lata admiral served afloat as a commissioned officer the almost unprecedented period of thirty years ( in addition to liis six years as midshipman), and eighteen years of that time as a captain in command. THE MUTINY IN INDIA. Telegraphic despatches in advance of the Indian Mail were received in London on Tuesday evening, and full details were expected last night. The following official despatch was received by Lord Clarendon from Mr Raven, the acting consul at Trieste :— " ALEXANDRIA, 22D JULY, 1857. ' The India mail brings no authentic accounts of the capture of Delhi. It was not taken on the 10th ult, when General Bar- nard, having repulsed two 3orties, was waiting reinforcements, which must have • since joined. A letter from Banner and Co., dated Madras, June the 27th, states positively that official intelligence had reached Madras the previous day of the fall of Delhi; but this is not confirmed from Bombay. " On July the 1st the mutiny had spread considerably in the Bengal army, though it is not even now general, as might have been expected. At Benares, on attempting to disarm the 37th Native Infantry, the greater part of the Sikhs and the 13th Irregular Cavalry joined the mutineers. On the 14th of June the ex- King of Oude, implicated in tha conspiracy by inter- cepted papers, was lodged in Fort William, and his followers disarmed. On the same day the native troops at Barrackpore and Calcutta were quickly disarmed. English troops are arriving fast. " An act has been passed by Legislative Council for placing the Indian press under license, to bo withdrawn at pleasure. In Madras and Bombay Presidencies all remains quiot. The only disturbances being a mutiay of the First Nizam's Cavalry at Turungabad, promptly put down by Bombay column. " Our naval forces in China, on the 8th of June, took a fort and destroyed about 127 junks, mounting 900 guns. Three officers and eight men killed; three officers and fifty- three men wounded on our side. The capture of 13 junks on the 27th of May, and 27 junks on the 28th of May, are also mentioned. " The dates are from Calcutta, June 21; Madras, June 28; Ceylon, July 1; Hong Kong, June 10 ; and Bombay, July 1. ( Signed) " RAVEN." Another despatch says :— " The mutiny had continued to spread among the troops of the Bengal army. " The King of Oude has been arrested, and with his minister imprisoned iii Fort William. Government has obtained proof of his complicity in the conspiracies. " At Delhi, up to the 17th of June, General Barnard had re pulsed several sorties, with heavy loss to the insurgents. He was waiting for reinforcements. " Postal intercourse and the dawks are interrupted upon most of the great lines of communication, " From Madras it is positively stated that Delhi has been cap- tured ; but this intelligence is not confirmed from Bombay, and seems to be premature. " An act has been passed by the Bengal Legislature, placing the Indian press under a license system. " The native troops at Calcutta and the brigade at Barrack- pore have been quietly disarmed. " An uneasy feeling prevails at Madras, but the army of that presidency, and that of Bombay, are both without the slightest sign of disaffection. " The Chinese fleet has been destroyed in two severe engagements. " The Chinese fought their guns with unexampled constancy. We have 83 men killed and wounded. " Major Kearney was killed in the last engagement. " Commodore Keppel and the Master of her Majesty's ship Raleigh have been tried by court- martial for the loss of the Raleigh, and acquitted. " There had been brilliant and successful operations ou the Canton River. On May 27th 13 junks, and on the 28th 27 hea- vily- armed junks, were captured. On June 8th 2,000 of our naval force engaged aud captured a fort, and took or destroyed 127 junks, mounting over 900 guns and 2,000 men. We lost three officers and eight men, and had 56 men wounded, some mortally." The following appeared in a fourth edition of the Morning Post of Thursday:— " MARSEILLES, THUBSDAY, 11: 30, " The Indian papers are full of details of the rebellion, which was universal in Bengal. " The Weny (?) Corps has been disarmed. " The 70th Native Infantry were thanked by the Governor for their loyalty. The 6th Native Infantry, at Allahabad, rivalled them in expressions of attachment, but rose upon their officers and foully murdered them. " There are not the slightest symptoms of disaffection in Madras or Bombay. The Bengal army has ceased to exist. " The stations where women and children have fallen victims to the barbarity of the mutineers, and where dreadful cruelties have been endured, are Meerut, Delhi, Nusseerabad, Hansi, Hissar, Jhansi, Bareilly, and Saghenwoor. " On the 15th of June another sortie from Delhi was repulsed with great loss. On the 16th all was quiet. 3,000 rebels were encamped outside the Ajmere gate. " From Mirzapore the accounts up to the 20th of June are satisfactory. Among the refugees from Repewa are Dr and Mrs Parker, Rev — Ruther and wife; from Benyon Sulhi, Wordsworth, Howard, Calles, Blandford, and Philpott. " At Ferozepore, oil the 13th, military executions had taken place. " At Jhausi ladies and children took refuge in the fort, which was soon overpowered— all sacrificed by these villains. " General Outram had arrived at Bombay. All was quiet in the Punjaub. " Escaped from Hansi and Hissar:— Captain Moorse, Strafford, and child ; Dr Scott, Tapsell, Vaughan, and two children ; Mr and Mrs Scareden and three children; Mr and Mrs J. Warreu and three children ; Mr Jews, Hickey, Tapsell, and Mallop, Dr Waghorn, Mr Daniels and child, Mr Hollat, Taylor, and many others. " Delhi is not likely to fall till more troops arrive. It is de- fended by 30,000 mutineers. " Part of the plot had been to take Calcutta on the 23d of May. It was most complete in its arrangements. When dis- covered, the troops bound for China were sent for as fast as they could arrive. The Malacca has arrived at Calcutta. " Sir Patrick Grant has came to Calcutta from Madras, and acts as Commander- in- Chief, but Sir Henry Somerset, in Bombay, really holds the supreme command." THE NEXT DESPATCH FEOM INDIA.— The inquiry ' now is— When may the next India mail be expected ! Judging from last year, the day for the receipt ef the telegraph will be Wednes- day week, the 12th of August. It is not improbable, however, that, supposing anything of great importance to have occurred shortly after the despatch of the present mail, the authorities in India will have made an effort to transmit the intelligence by means of the steamer from Australia en route to Suez. This vessel— the European— would be due at Point deGalle on the 11th of July ( assuming her to have left Sydney on the 15th of June, as advertised), and Aden on the 22dof July; so that, n the event of a steamer being despatched from Bombay to the latter place, news to about the 8th or 9th of July, or a week later thau that just brought, might be received here, via Marseilles, about the 5th of August. EXECUTION OF JOHN LEWIS AT CABDIFF.— The execution of John Lewis, convicted of the murder of his wife at Merthyr Tydfil, took place in front of the county gaol at Cardiff on Satur- day morning week. The prisoner had been tried at the Spring Assizes at Swansea, andfcb w.' v being unable to agree were dis- missed without returning a verdict. At the recent assizes at Cardiff, however, a verdict of guilty was returned, and sentence of death followed. Since his sentence great exertions have been made to ebtain a reprieve, but without success. To the last the deceased declared his innocence. PABTBIDGE HATCHING EXTBAOBDINARY.— Robert Northast, gamekeeper to Sir R. P. Glyn, of Pontmell Magna, having been supplied with a large quantity of partridges' eggs by the grass mowers, and at the time having but one sitting hen, a Cochin China, placed 74 eggs under her, from which, in a few days, she produced 56 birds. Four eggs were destroyed, and the other 14 being placed under another hen, the property of Mr Haskell, in a few days brought forth 14 more partridges, making in number 70 birds from 74 eggs.— Sherborne Journal. THE BARNSLEY SHEEPSTEALEBS.— The three men, Thomas Simpson, William Bennett, and John Cope, who were captured ou Friday morning week, while in the act of stealing sheep at a place called 81orr1 s- mi. il, near Barnsley, were brought up for re- examination before Mr, T. Taylor, West Riding magistrate, at the Barnsley Court- house on Monday. From the evidence of the two police- constables, Boothman and Robertshaw, who apprehended the prisoners, it appears that two of the latter were engaged in securing a sheep each, while the third was stationed in a lane adjoining the field to keep watch. This man's attention was attracted by the noise made by the policemen's dogs, and he immediately gave a signal, upon which the two men in the field retreated into the lane. The dogs were then let loose, and they were in the act of seizing the men when they shouted, " Call your dogs off, or they'll worry us." The constables went up to them aud inquired what they were doing there at that time of night. Simpson replied, " We have been resting ourselves; we have been at Lundhill looking for work." He was asked where he came from. He answered, " I come from Shafton, and those other two come from Leeds, and are going to Wakefield. My name is John Walker, if thou wants to know, and I have a wife and family at Shafton." The policemen said the prisoners were on the right road, and directed them to proceed, the constables following them closely until they arrived at Boothman's house, when Robertshaw got in front of them, drew his cutlass, and ordered them to go into the house. The prisoners looked at each other astounded, but the constables urged them in and locked the door. Various implements for committing robberies were found upon them, and they were then handcuffed. They were fully committed for trial. EXTRAORDINARY DOG.— Just arrived from America, Prince, the giant American bloodhound, descended from a race sup- posed to be extinct, the great war- dog of the ancients. This truly wonderful animal is challenged against the world, for the sum of 1,000 guineas, as surpassing all others of the dog tribe in size, beauty, strength, muscle, and symmetry of form, and has papers.

The people of Paris are much more interested just now with the proposed alterations of the law regulating the butchers' trade than with any political matters. The regulations of late have not worked well, aud have resulted in giving to the butchers almost a monopoly, of course rendering meat unne- cessarily dear. This monopoly, however, is to be abolished shortly, ou the recommendation of the Section of Agriculture and Commerce, provided only that the Council of State adopt the report of their subordinate section, which is fully expected, The trial for the recent alleged conspiracy will not, it is be- lieved, take place till after the Emperor's return. Meanwhile the Paris police are strenuously exerting themselves to dis- cover the ramifications of the plot. M Ledru Rollin indig- nantly denies any complicity with the Italian conspirators, and has addressed a letter for that purpose to the Judge of Instruc- tion, the fuuetionary whose duty it is to prepare the evidence in this case. This, added to previous denials, which have already appeared in the English press, serve somewhat to com- plicate the affair. Immediately after this trial, or very probably while it is going on, the Fete Napoleon of the 14th and 15th of August will be celebrated. The preparations for this fete are in active progress. The festivities will include the inaugurations of the six pavilions of the Central Halles, the throne- room of the Luxembourg, the Asylum for Workmen in the Bois de Vin- cennes, the church of St Clotilde, and the new Louvre. The inauguration of the New Louvre will be quite a grand affair. The influx of foreigners is expected to be very great, and one purpose, which will at least be served, will be this— that atten- tion will be directed to the great improvements that have within the last year or two taken place in Paris. The son of Marshal Ney has just died, at the age of 53. BELGIUM. The marriage of Princess Charlotte of Belgium with the Arch- duke Ferdinand Maximilian was celebrated on Monday at Brus- sels, His Royal Highness Prince Albert landed at Antwerp at a very early hour on Monday morning, and was received by the Duke de Brabant and the Count of Flanders, and their suite, all of whom had left Laeken before six o'clock. His royal highness reached Brussels at nine o'clock, and after the ceremony the Prince returned to Osborne, where he arrived on Tuesday night. ITALY. The legal investigation is still proceeding. No prisoner has been shot. Nicotera has revealed the whole plan, and has an- nounced new attempts. He acquits the crew of the Cagliari of any knowledge of the plot. Foschini, the refugee, who escaped from London after committing a double assassination, is among the weunded. Padula has blown out bis brains. A collision has occurred at Torre del Greco between the people and some French sailors belonging to the M6t6ore. The Neapoli- tans, on seeing the French setting up posts on the shore for their hydrographic works, fancied they were going to invade the country, and crying " We will have no revolution," they ill- used the sailors. The King has ordered the ringleaders of this row to be imprisoned, and has caused his regrets to be expressed to the officers of the M6t6ore. Ferdinand, with his three sons, has arrived from Naples at Castellamare, to reside some time. There is stated to be great reason to belive that a Muratist conspiracy got up in France ( and not without the knowledge of French officials), was about to explode in Naples, and that the patriotic party tried to be beforehand with the Muratists, and if a revolution was to take place to secure that it should be a re- volution for the country and not for a dynasty. Of course this has exposed the poor patriots te the vengeance of the King they wished to dethrone, and to the vengeance of the would- be royal family whose banner they were unwilling to raise. The public voice in Italy does not hesitate to accuse the French Gevera- ment of the readiness to sacrifice some Italians on a charge of conspiracy against the life of the French Emperor, in order that by so doing it may divert attention from the circumstances in which it has placed itself with respect to the Neapolitan throne. A letter from Florence, of the 20th ult, states that on Thursday afternoon, the 16th ult, the Hereditary Prince, who was driving in his carriage outside the town, was saluted with cries of " Long live the Constitutional Prince!" SPAIN. The law on the Spanish press, the execution of which the Narvaez Cabinet demanded as a matter of urgency, has been for gome days past in full force. The Madrid journals have now the signature of the writer at the bottom of each article. SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT NORWICH.— On Friday afternoon week a young woman named Price, daughter of one of the vergers, who, with a companion, had ascended the interior of the cathedral spire, in coming down the second ladder jumped on to the floor. The floor, being in a very weak state, immediately gave way, and she fell with it a distance of 27 feet, her com- panion vainly endeavouring to arrest her fall. Her removal, un- fortunately, was a matter of some difficulty, for the passage and stairs do not allow of two persons walking abreast, and the young woman, although happily escaping with sound bones, was of course unable to continue her descent. She could not conse- quently be removed from the steeple ( where she was attended by Mr Cooper, surgeon) till the evening, when, chloroform having been administered, she was lowered by means of scaffolding, which had, as it happened, been erected outside the tower, the north face being under repair, and was then removed home. Although much bruised and cut, no bones were broken; but the shock she has received will naturally retard her recovery.— Norfolk News. THE RIVENHALL MURDER.— EXECUTION OF THE MURDERER. — On Wednesday morning the unhappy convict Charles Finch, who was convicted at the late Essex Assizes of the wilful murder of Harriet Freeborn, was executed at the county gaol, Spring- field. The prisoner had been home from the Crimea about eighteen months, previously to which he had kept company with his victim, a respectable young woman, a farm servant. Since Is is return he entertained, without any reason, a feeling of jealousy, and two days before Sunday the 24th of May, when the murder was committed, he told her he would do for her when an opportunity offered, and had been upon other occa- sions heard to threaten heFf He acknowledged the justice of his sentence. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— Some conversation took place on the Indian affair, which ended in the ordering of some correspondence moved for by Lord CLANRICARDE, TUESDAY.— THE FRAUDULENT TRUSTEES' Bill was read a second time. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.- On the motion of Lord RE- DESDAXE, it was resolved that no new bill, not a money bill, or considered specially important, should be read a second time in that house after the 7th of August, THURSDAY.— Some discussion took place on the Indian question, but nothing transpired to call for a report. FRIDAY.— The proceedings in both houses of Parliament this evening were of au interesting nature, but not so much so as to justify us in sacrificing space which could be filled in a manner more acceptable to our sporting readers. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— THE IONIAN ISLANDS.- Replying to Sir De Lacy Evans, Mr LABOUCHERE said that no official intelligence had been reoeived respecting the extraordinary proceedings in the Ionian Assembly. From private sources of information he was led to believe that some singular speeches had been made, in consequence, as he understood, of some misapprehension caused by a petition presented to the House of Commons from Mr Montgomery Martin, but that no definitive resolution was then passed of a nature requiring the prerogative of the local members. INDIA.— Mr DISRAELI, in a long speech, moved for papers relative to the revolt in India. Remarking upon the apparently trivial causes which often brought about the most momentous events, the right hon member described the earlier symptoms of disaffection among the Bengal Sepoys, and to which, as he maintained, the Government had paid too little attention, with the result that, when the catastrophe was actually announced, they were taken altogether by surprise. The causes and the character of the existing crisis in India, were matters deserving serious investigation. Mr Disraeli then proceeded to cite facts and adduce argumeuts to prove that the mutinous Sepoys were the exponents of national discontent rather than the avengers of professional wrongs. For the future administration of India he insisted upon the necessity of drawing closer the connection between that country and the Sovereign of Great Britain, and recommended tne immediate appointment of a royal commis- sion to visit India, and inquire into the grievances endured by its population.— Mr V. SMITH denied that the Government had disregarded warnings, or treated a serious crisis with levity. While hoping the best, they had from the beginning prepared for the worst. Characterising Mr Disraeli's speech as indis- creet and mischievous, he challenged him to prove the assertion that the mutiuy amounted to a national revolt, and that con- spiracy existed among the native princes. All the intelligence that had arrived spoke of the most perfect loyalty among the civil population, and the cordial offers of assistance from the allied princes of India. Adverting to the general question of governmewt, he described some of the changes that had lately been introduced, confessing that the system of Indian adminis- tration was in a state of transition, and that many temporary difficulties had occurred, but declaring that almost all the new measures had been fiamed in pursuance of public opinion in England, or under the direct influence of Parliament itself. He deprecated aimless discussion of the subject, but invited the house to take into its most serious consideration any steps that might be suggested with a practical object, either to invigorate the Government of India, or to rebuke incompetency among the present administrators of that Government.— Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in the presence of an awful calamity, thought the discussion now provoked was calculated to be most injurious. Evils were dwelt upon, incompetence suggested, and past errors laid to the charge of the Government. Yet uo practical result was proposed as a consequence of the censures so freely admi- nistered. It would be derogatory to the dignity of the house to debate so iraportaat a question, without expressing some defi- nite opinion. At the present moment, the more urgent duty of Parliament was to strengthen the Executive in quelling the mu- tiny. With that view, he proposed as an amendment, that an address should be presented to the Crown, conveying au assur ance of sympathy and support in any efforts necessary to sup- press the disturbances in India, as well as in all measures cal- culated to secure a better administration of that part of the British empire.— A good deal of discussion took place, at the end of which Lord PALMEBSTON said : With respect to the re- solution, one paper asked for did not exist among the Govern- ment archives, and the other contained scarcely anything relat- ing to the condition of the Indian army. The amendment sug- gested by Lord John Russell expressed sentiments in which, he believed, every man in the house and the country would fully concur.— The motion of Mr Disraeli was negatived without a division, and Lord John Russell's amendment was agreed to. TUESDAY— EDUCATION IN THE ARMY. Sir DE LACY EVANS enjoined upon the Government the necessity of providing a better system ® f education for officers in the army. He moved a resolution setting forth that a higher standard of professional instruction, aHd more complete provision for it than hitherto deemed requisite, ought to be established for the commissioned ranks of the army, but especially for the staff; that this will be best promoted by recourse to competitive exa- mination of officers desiriHg to qualify themselves for the staff; by adopting the same principle, with such qualification as may be necessary, in examination of candidates nominated by the Commander- in- Chief for commissions in the cavalry and infan- try ; by preserving the present system of admission of cadets for the Ordnance Corps ; by assured encouragements for profi- ciency and general fitness for advancement, and by the appoint- ment of commissioners, or a council of military and civilian members, empowered to direct the measures for accomplishing these objects.— A good deal of discussion took place among mili- tary members of the house, and Lord PALMERSTON submitted that the resolution presented by Sir De Lacy Evans might be expediently withdrawn, as tending to fetter the discretion of the Government, who were actively endeavouring to carry out the object in view. The principles on which extended education should be provided among military officers were already in a great measure established, and the details of the future scheme were being rapidly brought into practical shape. On some points the plan was still under consideration, and he trusted that the house would leave the matter in the hands of the Executive.— Sir DE L. EVANS consented to modify his motion, by omitting the unreserved recommendation of the competitive principle, and in this shape the resolution was put and agreed to unanimously. GALWAY ELECTION.— Colonel FBENCH moved that a new writ should be ordered to issue for the county of Galway, that election having been declared void.— Mr CLIVE opposed the mo- tion, and moved as an amendment, that an address should be presented to the Queen, praying for an enquiry into the exist- ence of corrupt practices at the late and former elections for Galway county. In support of this proposition the hon mem- ber read various passages from the evidence collected by the election committee, of which he had been chairman.— The AT- TOBNEY- GENEEAL for Ireland believed that sufficient evidence of a system of corrupt practices in Galway had been obtained to justify the inquiry suggested by Mr Clive.— The motion was negatived without a division, and the amendment agreed to. MAYO ELECTION.— Colonel FFBENCH then moved the issue of a new writ for the county of Mayo.— Mr SCHOLEFIELD called attention to the facts disclosed before the election com- mittee, and moved as an amendment that the Irish Attorney- General should be directed to prosecute the R<; v Peter Conway and the Rev Luke Conway, two Roman Catholic Priests, who had, as it was alleged, interfered illegally in the late election for Mayo.— Mr MAGUIBE, detailing the circumstances of the elec- tion, defended Mr Moore, the unseated member, and charged his opponents with violent and partisan conduct.— Mr BAILLIE remarked, that the course proposed in the amendment was unusual, and ought not to be adopted without ample reason. It was proposed to punish the electors of Mayo for the fault of two priests, who possessed no votes.— The discussion was continued by Mr Drummond, Mr Puller, Colonel North, and Mr Butt.— Lord PALMEBSTON supported the amendment, considering that it tended, not to punish the electors of Mayo, but to protect them from undue influences.— After some brisk personal inter- changes between Lord Claude Hamilton and the Irish Attorney- General, aud a speech from Mr Bowyer, the house divided. — For issuing the Mayo writ, 29 ; against, 153; majority, 124.— The amendment was then put as a substantive motion, but Mr BBADY immediately moved the adjournment of the debate.— His motion was negatived by 149 to 16, aud Mr Soholefleld's motion was agreed to, as was also a resolution to suspend the issue of a new writ till next session. WEDNESDAY— THE SUPERANNUATION BILL.— The adjourned debate on the Superannuation Act Amendment Bill was resumed by Mr RICH, who objected to the bill as imperfect, unnecessary, and unjust in its operation.— Lord NAAS said the only question before the house was, whether the abatements from the salaries of the civil servants of the Crown should be abo- lished. He had never said that there had been any breach of contract between the Crown and its civil servants. He only con- tended that the system was a bad one, and that it should as speedily as possible be altered. The noble lord replied to many of the arguments and calculations of Mr Wilson, and asserted that there had been no increase of salaries in the public service for the last twenty years. He denied that this bill would create an indiscriminate increase of salaries throughout the service, for it only applied to about 16,000 persons, whereas the total number of the civil servants amounted to 49,000.— Mr GLADSTONE opposed the bill.— The CHANCELLOE of the EXCHEQUEB said the question might be considered either as one of feeling, one of justice, or one of expediency. As to feeling, were he to consult his own feelings he would support the bill of the noble lord, but he would not be justified in acting upon such a principle. Looking at it as a matter of equity, he contended that the civil servants of the Crown had no reason to complain, because all that they had stipulated for on accepting their offices had been scrupulously granted. On the ground of expediency he had to observe on the large charge it would throw on the public purse, and to the stimulus which the bill, if successful, would give to similar appli- cations from other quarters. Under these circumstances he called upon the house to oppose the bill.— The house then divided, and the numbers were— for the second reading, 171; against it, 111: majority against the Government, 60. The result was hailed with loud cheers. The bill was then read a second time. THE JEW BILL,— Lord J. RUSSELL then fixed the second reading of the Oaths Validity Bill for Monday, if, in the mean- time, means should not be found to seat Baron Rothschild in any other way, without the necessity of such a bill.— Sir F. THESIGEB said the noble lord had darkly intimated at some other means of seating Baron Rothschild than by bill. He wished to ask the noble lord at what time any such attempt would be made?— Lord J. RUSSELL said he was not aware of Baron Rothschild's intentions upon the subject, but should he be informed he would communicate the information to the house. It was more than probable, however, that Baron Roths- child would himself communicate his intentions to the house. THURSDAY- CIVIL SERVANTS SUPERANNUATION.— Lord PALMEESTON said that the house having by a considerable majority affirmed the second reading of the Civil Service Super- annuation Bill, the Government would not offer any further opposition to its progress. THE DIVORCE BILL.— The ATTOBNEY GENEBAL moved the second reading of this bill, which was opposed by Sir W. Heathcote, Mr Drummond, and others. A debate ensued, which was ultimately adjourned. REPOETED FATE OF DE LEICHAEDT.— Considerable inte- rest. has been recently excited by the pretended revelations of a convict named Garbut, now under sentence at Cockatoo Island, purporting to throw light upon the fate of Dr Leichardt. Ac- cording to his story the lamented explorer is still alive, but de- tained a prisoner in a remote part of the interior, where there is a fine, fertile country, inhabited chiefly by runaways and re- fugees from the various settlements, with which they still keep up an intercourse by means of sack horses. These amiable exiles are married to black women, grow their own corn, and grind it in steel mills. Dr Leichardt employs himself in teaching the yellow children, and is well treated, though care- fully watched. Sir W, Denison himself examined the man Garbut, as did also some gentlemen who had taken part in the search after the lost traveller, and it is understood that they attach no credence to his statements.— Letter from Sydney, HANDBALL— Thos.

SLANDEB BY A COUNTESS.— At Derby, on Wednesday, an action was brought by the Rev Mr Highmore, vicar of Elvaston, against the Earl and Countess of Harrington, to recover damages for slanderous words spoken by the countess. ' The principal witness was the Rev Thomas Jones, curate of Elvaston, who said :— I have been curate of Elvastou since the 1st of January last. On Sunday, the 2d of February, I went to the castle to lunch. I saw the Countess of Harrington in the drawing- room. After the ordinary compliments of tbe day Lady Harrington asked me who was likely to administer the sacrament next Sun- day. I answered, I did not know, but would ascertain aud let her know during the week. Lady Harrington said, " We never take the sacrament from that man Highmore, because he is so wicked a man. Whenever I take the sacrament I go to Alvaston or hare it administered to me at Gawsworth, I never take the sacrament here because of that man Highmore." She then went on to say, " He keeps the sacrament money, and never gives any to the poor, and pocketed the money the Duke of Leinster gave for the repairing of the church." Her ladyship also added, " He is so low and vulgar a fellow, and such a drunken character, that Lord Harrington cannot receive him. He is always playing at cards aad gambling, aud encourages the people in the village in all kinds of gambling, eard- playing, and debauchery, and he and his wife are constantly rolling drunk on the floor." She concluded this little harangue by saying, " I should consider it sacrilege to take the sacrament from so wicked and bad a man." Afterwards I asked Mr Highmore whether he would be able to administer the sacrament on Sunday, and he said he hoped to do t, o himself. After the service at church on Ash Wednesday Lady Harrington sent for me and asked who was likely to administer the Sacrament on Sunday. I said I did not know, but would ascertain. Ou the following Thursday morning 1 again asked Mr flighmore, and he said he was so much better that he hoped to be able to administer it himself. I went to Lady Harrington and told her. I said, " I trust you will not stay away because you may think a man wicked ;" aud I added some observations on the ministrations of the wioked, which I took chiefly from the Articles. Her ladyship argued the question quietly with me, and added, " No, it won t do; I should consider it sacrilege;" and added, " He is always telling lies, and never speaks the truth." Several statements of this kind had been made. I made inquiries, and on the eve of Ash Wednesday I inquired of himself as to the disposal of the sacra- ment mouey. Ou Easter Sunday I had an iuvitation to lunch at the castle. I found the private gate from the church to the castle locked. I, in consequenoe, lunched with Mr Highmore. After service, in consequence of a message, I went to Lady Har- rington. She asked me who administered the Sacrament, who collected the offertory, and how it wa31 had not gone to lunch ? I told her I came, but found the gate barred against me, and that, in coasequenoe of having a friend with me, I had gone through the village with him, and afterwards lunched with Mr Highmore. She said, " How can you lay yourself under an obligation to those Highmoresf If you go to those Highmores you will not be acceptable at the castle. He keeps a most disreputable house, and you must take care of your character as well as of your friends. They are always playing at cards from morning to night. They are a set of drunkeu people. I know the truth of it, for Sir Francis Siantiop ; told me that he saw all three of them drunk upon the floor." The third person alluded to was the Dowager Countess of Harrington. I told her I feared she had been sadly misinformed, as I had told her on previous occa- sions. I said, " I have found Mr Highmore's house nicely or respectably conducted, and Mrs Highmore a lady of considerable talent and good manners." I said, also, he had been very kind to me, and that I found him very charitable. Her ladyship replied, " Oh, no, it cannot be; it is impossible." I said I had had pleasing evidence of the fact, for I bad seen him give both wine and money to the poor. She said, " Oh, no, it won't do ; he is a bad man and she is a bad woman." I again said I feared she had besn misinformed, and, as a funeral was waiting, I must bid her good day. Since then I have not been to the castle. Between the conversations which I have detailed I had several others, at which statements to the same effect were made. She has called him an actor, a mountebank, and a rider at Astley's.— The cross- examination did not shake this testimony, Mr Highmore himself was examined, and swore that he had for years been compelled by ill healt h to abstain al- together from stimulating drinks. He also explained satis- factorily what had been done with the sacrament money, and the subscriptions alltsded to by the countess, and added that he never spoke to the Countess of Harrington in his life.— For the defence Lady Harrington was called, and she explained away parts of the slander by putting the expressions in a different light; other parts she denied having used, and of the charges of drunkenness she stated that she had accused former curates of being drunk, but not Mr Highmore.— Lady Har- rington, in reply to questions put by the learned judge, said, that she had declined to take the sacrament from Mr Highmore, aud thought him a wicked man, because he had raised a terrier, and endeavoured to increase the tithes upon the poor people to an amount which the archdeacon had pronounced to be exorbitant, and on account of his appointment of bad curates ; and that she had spoken of his house as disorderly oil account of what she had heard about his pupils. It did occur to her that Mr High- more had oeased to take pupils for six years; but she men- tioned it as a caution to Mr Jones, because he was about to take pupils, and indeed had one pupil when she spoke to him.— Mr Mellor having summed up, Mr Macaulay addressed the jury for the plaintiff, aud commented in strong terms upon the evidence which Lady Harrington had given, and to which he was sure the jury would not give credit.— The learned judge summed up, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— £ 750. THE TBIAL AND CONVICTION ov BACON.— At Lincoln, on Saturday week, Thomas Fuller Bacon was tried for the murder of his mother by poison.— Mr Melior, Q. C., opened ths case by stating that the charge was for causing to be administered to the deceased a large quantity of arsenic. His mother was an aged woman, and resided in Stamford; she was possessed of some property. On the 13th of May, 1855, she dined with her son, aud was taken very ill, was purged, and vomited a great deal. She was taken home ; she recovered, and was well on the Monday, but ou the Tuesday she was again taken ill and died. All the symptoms were those of arsenic, but the medical men would not pledge themselves that her death was caused by it, although there was no doubt it had been administered. Pro- fessor Taylor, ou his analysis, found about three- quarters of a grain^ of arsenic. It was the opinion of Dr Taylor that the poison had been administered shortly before her death. Although nearly three- quarters of a grain was found, it must not be forgot that she had shortly before her death been suffering from purg- ing and vomiting, which of course would carry off a large quan- tity. It was two years after her death before it was fouad, when the body was exhumed from Casterton Church- yard. Well, where was Mrs Bacon taken ill? Why, at Bacon's house. Oue important fact was, that the prisoner's mother was possessed of several houses, which he believed he would oome into at the death of his mother; and immediately after that event he took away the rent- book. But it did not turn out that the property was left in that way, as his mother divided it amongst the rest of the children. He ( Mr Mellor) should prove that the prisoner had purchased arsenic only eight days before his mother s death. He had some time before endeavoured to procure that poison. He sent his lad for it, saying that he required it for hardening iron, but the chemist refused to sell it. The eext time he pro- cured it by stating that it was to poison rats. If they believed that he was the person who had administered the arsenio, they would say that he was guilty; but, if there was any reasonable doubt, he should be glad if they oould acquit him, but they must do their duty manfully. A great deal of evidence was gone into, and ultimately the jury found the prisoner Guilty, and sentence of death was recorded against him. THE MUBDEB OP AN OFFICER AT DEAL.— At Maidstone, on Tuesday, Samuel Baker, 36, a respectable- looking man, was in- dicted for the wilful murder of Edward M'Carroll. The circum- stances under which this charge was preferred were of rather an extraordinary charaeter. The deceased, Mr M'Carroll, a very young man, was a lieutenant in the 44th Regiment, and was stationed with that regiment at Walmer Barracks, near Deal. The prisoner kept the Ship publio- house, upon the Esplanade at Deal, and about one o'clock in the morning, on the 29th of March, the deceased spoke the Coast Guardmau, named Morden, who was on duty on the Esplanade, and asked him to tell him where he could get something to drink, and at the same time stated tnat he had been to the Sandwich election, and had lost £ 5. The deceased was at this time evidently the worse for liquor. Morden directed him to the house kept by the prisoner, and he knocked at the door, which was opened by Mrs Baker, the wife of the prisoaer, and he asked her to let him have a glass of grog " upon tick." She replied that she id not allow any one to have liquor " upon tick," aud told him to go about his business. This refusal evidently excited the deceased, and ho called out to Mrs Baker that she might go to hell, and she would Cud that a hot place enough for her. The deceased had a rather heavy stick with him at the time, and although there was no distinot evi- dence to show that he actually did resort to any violence, yet it appeared that after the deceased had gone away Mrs Baker com- plained to Morden that the young gentleman had thrust his stick into her mouth and had forced out two of her teeth, and there was no doubt that she made this statement to her hus- band, and that this led to the fatal event that afterwards oc- curred, The deceased had gone away in the direction of the barracks at Walmer, when the prisoner came out of his house without a hat or coat, and evidently in a great passion, and he inquired which way the deceased had gone, and oa his being informed he went in that direction, but returned in about five or ten minutes and went into bis house, and he then, according to the evidence of one of the witnesses, named Dessent, went into the tap- room, after he had put on his hat and coat, and took up the poker from the fire- place in the tap- room, placed it in his pocket, and left the house a second time. He was then seen to proceed again in the direction of the barracks, evidently in pursuit of the deceased, and shortly afterwards cries were heard, but it appeared that no notice was taken of them, and although there was no doubt that the prisoner overtook the deceased, and that he inflicted upon him the injuries which caused his death, there was no evidence whatever to show what took place, or under what circumstances the fatal injuries were inflicted. The Erisoner was very soon afterwards seeu coming towards his own ouse, aud it was observed that there was something sticking out of his pocket, the end of which appeared like the head of a poker. At half- past five o'clock on the same morning the deceased was found lying on the sea shore, on the route he would have had to pass to go to the barracks, in an almost life- less state, nearly insensible, and unable to speak, aad he was removed to his quarters, where he died about nine o'clock, without being able to give any explanation of the circumstances under which he had lost his life. Upon a post mortem exami- nation, it was discovered that there was a fracture of the skull seven inches in length, which, with its consequences, was the cause of death, and Mr Miuden, the surgeon who was allied in, expressed his opinion that this injury was of a nature that would have been occasioned by a violent blow from such a weapon as a poker. It appeared that when the prisoner re- turned to Deal the second time, he told Morden, the Coast Gnardman, that he " had caught the deceased near the tollgate, and that he had something in his pocket, and he gave it to him." He was asked where he had left the deceased, and he said that he had left him abreast the dockyard, and near the red light, and he also stated that before he came away from him he told him that he kept a public- house in Deal, and that if he wanted him he could find him. The prisoner, it appeared, was taken into custody on the same day, and on his being told that he was charged with killing a man by- beating him upon the head, he said that the man had thrust a stick into his wife's mouth and nearly drawn out her tongue, and he went after him with a barin, or small stick ; and that when he came up with him the man struck him, and he was obliged to use his stick. The cap of the deceased was found near the tollgate ; and it was suggested, ou the part of the prosecu- tion, that the fatal affray had taken place at this spot, and that the body of the deceased had been afterwards carried to the place where it was found, and where it might possibly have been washed away by the tide.— Sergeant Ballantine made a most powerful and able defence for the prisoner ; and while he admitted that it would be impossible for him to deny that it was by his hand that the unfortunate young gentleman had met his death, said he entertained a confident hope that when the jury looked at all the circumstances surrounding the sad occurrence they would feel that they were not called upon to return a ver- dict the effect of which would undoubtedly be to assign the pri- soner to the scaffold, but that they would come to the conclu- sion that a verdict of manslaughter would be quite sufficient to satisfy the ends of justice.— Mr Justice Willes having summed up, the jury retired to consider their verdict, and after being absent about twenty minutes, they returned into court, and gave a verdict of guilty of Manslaughter.— She has been sen- tenced to penal servitude for life. MUBDEB AT CAMEEBT: BY.— On Monday, at Maidstone, Stephen Fox, twenty- four, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Hadley, by shooting her. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. Mr Deedes, in opening the case, described it as one of a very sad and melancholy character. The deceased was a respectable young woman residing with her parents at Can- terbury, and the prisoner appeared to have courted her for a considerable time, and they were engaged to be married. Cir- cumstances, however, occurred which induced the young woman to decline to ally herself to the prisoner, and, actuated by a feeling of revenge and passion, he had iu tbe most delibe- rate manner destroyed her life. The facts were fally proved, and the prisoner sentenced to death. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AHD COMMERCIAL HEWS. During the last few days there has been an augmented inquiry for money owing to the preparation for the fourth of the month, the operations in silver preparatory to the departure of the steamer to the East, the arrangements connected with the harvest, and the settlements on the Stock Exchange. The Indian accounts report an advance on the exchanges, and the efflux of specie is likely to receive an important stimulus. These in- fluences have operated prejudicially upon the Stock Markets and the Funds have receded to the extent of 1| per cent. The speculators are encouraged to operate for a fall, as the im- provement iu the Sloney Market ' has been cheeked, and renewed stringency is likely to prevail. The fact that large amounts of gold are being withdrawn from the Bank also depresses quotations. The official balance sheet, com- pleted to the 25th of June, shows a reduction of £ 167.674 and since then a further declension of about £ 200,00 has taken place. The other features of the account are au increase iu the Notes Unemployed to the extent of £ 237,095, and a decrease in the other securities of £ 132,292. The Active Circulation was smaller by £ 400,605, the total being £ 19,577,395. The failure of a Greek house, viz that of Guistineani, assisted the downward movement, and Consols closed yesterday afternoon at 90i - J for money, 90f % for account, and 90 i 91 for September. Later in the day, how- ever, a considerable improvement took place. The Unfunded Debt has continued depressed, the demand for money in the home consignments upon the settlements having increased. The latest prices, ou Friday afternoon, of the English Funds were— Exchequer Bills, 6s to 2s dis India Bon is, 25s India Stock, 215^ 16 Consols for Account, 901 \ Bank Stock, 215 17 Reduced Annuities, 90J f Consols, 90i i New 3 per Cents, 90| i Long Annuities, 2 7- 16 - 5 Foreign Stocks have been quiet with tbe exception of Turkish Six par Cents. These have fluctuated considerably, and the established decline on the week's operations is If per cent. Con- siderable sales have been made, and these, together with the fall in Consols, fully explain the cause of the retrogression. The Four per Cents guaranteed have also been lower, and most of the other European Stocks have slightly declined. Brazilian, Peru- vian, and Mexican Bouds have not undergone any alterations of mportance. The latest prices of the Foreign Funds on Friday afternooa were :— Sardinian, 89$ Spanish S per Cents, 39| 40 Do Deferred, 25 Do Passive, 611 Turkish 0 per Cents, 941 Ditto, 4 per Cents, 101$ 102 Venezuela, 34 36 Dutch 2% per Cents, 64 Ditto 4 per Cents, 98 99 Belgian, 96 98 Brazilian, 100 102 Buenos Ayres, 84 83 Chilian, 102 104 Equador, 13i 14* Grenada, 22 23 Mexican 22| i Peruvian, 81 82 Portuguese, 44i 45^ Russian, 110112 The business transacted in the Railway Share Market during the past week has not been very extensive, but the dealers were fully oocupied in arranging for the settlement of the past monthly account. Prices in most instances have exhibited an improvement, compared with those current at the date of our last report. Great Northern, Manchester, Sheffield, aiod Lin- coln, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Midland have improved about 15s, Brighton and South Western de- clined about 15s. Caledonian improved £ 2 to £ 2 10s. North Eastern ( York) and North, Eastern ( Berwick) £ 3 to £ 4. The Foreign and Colonial lines have also shown an improvement. Grand Trunk of Canada advanced £ 1 to £ 1 10s.; Paris and Lyons about £ 1; Great Western of Canada 5s., and East Indian about £ 1 5s. British, Foreign, and Colonial Mining Shares have been dealt in to a fair extent; but prices have exhibited much variation. Joint Stock Bank Shares have also been steady. Bank of London have improved about £ 1. London and Westminster declined 10s. In the Miscellaneous Shares the transactions have not been numerous. Electric Telegraph and Peniusulor and Oriental Steam were a shade higher. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. A few days ago an eagle struck dead a foal some days old, near Lord Elcho's shooting- box, where it was pasturing with its mo\\\& c.— Johno'Groafs Journal. CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.— On Tuesday Baron LionelRoths- child was re- elected for the city of London without opposition. THE BETTING- HOUSE CBUSADE.— At Marlborough- street, on Tuesday, Charles Head, of Kennington- square, was charged by the police with creating aa obstruction iu Coventry- street. Since the police have made forcible entry into several betting- houses the frequenters of these illegal places have adopted the precaution of carrying on their betting transactions in the open street, and the consequence is that several public thoroughfares at the West End are rendered nearly impassable for pedestrians during the day. Complaints having beeu made to the proper authorities, the police received orders to keep the pavement clear.— Police- sergeant Silverton, A 293, stated that he saw the defendant surrounded by six or seven betting meu at the corner of Oxeuden- street aud Coventry- street, and, in compliance with his instructions, he went up to the defendant and told him to move on. The defendant refused, said he was a gentleman, and would have a flutter for it. He took the defendant into custody, but the defendant said fce would not go without a cab, and resisted the police. The defendant was wrangling with tbe persons by whom he was surrounded about horse races and betting, the defendant being himself a betting man.— The defendant denied that he was speaking to any betting men or creating any obstruction. He was merely asking a ques- tion of the proprietor of a house undergoing repair, when the police came up to him and insisted on his moving on. As he conceived they were exceeding their duty he at first went on, but came back again to complain to the person with whom he had been in conversation, and then he was taken into custody. He wished to know whether the police had authority to compel a person to go on who merely stopped in the street to naake an inquiry ?— Mr. Beadon said, if the defendant intended to con- test the right of the police to keep the footway clear of obstruc- tion he would give him an opportunity of deing so, by inflicting a fine, and then the defendant could appeal against his decision; but if he only wanted to know whether the police were autho- rised to compel persons who congregated in the public thorough- fares and obstructed it to move away, he would tell him that the police were appointed for that purpose • among others, and that they were perfectly justified iu causing persons to move on who impeded a public thoroughfare, and in- case ot refusal to take them into custody. As he was of opinion that the police had not exceeded their duty in this instance, he should order the defendant to enter into his own recognisances in £ 5 to keep the peace. THE GAME OF CHESS.

THE MATCH OF THE CUMBEBLAND AND WESTMORELAND SOCIETY.— The members of this well- established society, which bids fair in time to rival the celebrated Wrestling Society of the natives of the two counties, held their annual meeting on Sa- turday, July 25, in the beautiful grounds of Mr Bliss, Crown Inn, Cricklewood, as eligible a spot as oould possibly be found, both for its privacy and excellent accommodation. The shooting throughout the day was exceedingly good, and commenced with a match at 9 starlings each, 10 subscribers, for a sweepstakes of £ 10, which was won by Mr R. Margetson of Kirkby Stephen, Westmoreland, the well- known late hon sec and staunch sup- porter of the Wrestling Society. Several others followed at sparrows, starlings, and pigeons, each of which in every instance where he contended, were won by Mr Margetson, though not without being well- contested for, as iu several instances he was tied by the splendid shooting of Messrs Johnson, Hodgson, and Clegg, killing all their birds, but in the shooting off was always victorious. As a deadly shot amongst the keen- eyed sons of the northern hills resident in London, Mr Margetson ( though not, we believe, professing to be a regular trap shot) has never met his equal, as it will be rememfeered he has before carried off the shooting prizes, whilst it gives us pleasure to record that in his wrestling days in the Cumberland and Westmoreland ring his manly, fair, and splendid style of wrestling is universally allowed never to have been surpassed. Most of the guns shot with were of large calibre, by eminent makers, such as Smith, Jackson, & c. Mr Margetson's a ten- bore double, by the noted Fuller, seemed a deadly killer. The excellent shooting of Messrs Johnson, Hodgson, Clegg, and others was greatly applauded, and every - thing was conducted with the generous rivalry characteristic of the northern men. After the shooting the party sat down to an excellent dinner, Mr Margetson in the chair, and after a most convivial evening the party separated, highly gratified with the day's sport, and promising to meet again at an early day. HOBNSEY WOOD.— On Monday last, Messrs Hansler and Walmsley beat Messrs Harker and Bruton, in a match at 11 birds each, 25 yards, three traps, killing 17 to 13. Mr Balls beat Mr Rowley two matches, six double shots, 21 yards rise, killing 10 to 9.— On Tuesday, Mr Allison and four friends she t a match with Mr Rutherfoid and four friends, £ 10 a side, at 9 birds, 21 yards rise ; the former won, killing 33 to 24. Some capital double shooting at sparrows aud birds ; also several sweepstakes fol- lowed, Messrs Holt, Beaton, Saxby, aud Clark being the winners. — Rifle Shooting: The return match between the Royal Victoria Rifles and the members of the Swiss Rifle Society is fixed to take place on Saturday next, A strong muster of the lovers of rifle shooting has promised to attend. Several hand- some prizes will be shot for.— Public shooting days Wednesdays and Saturdays. AT THE LILLIE AEMS, Old Brompton, on Tuesday next, a match will take place at 25 birds each, l| oz of shot, ground the boundary, for £ 10 a side, between Mr Aston and Mr Selwood; to commence at five o'clock. Shooting also on Saturdays; plenty of birds. Private parties accommodated. At Mr W. P. WAENER'S, the Lower Welsh Harp, Edgware- road, to- morrow ( Monday), a fat pig and a double- barrelled gun will be shot for, by twelve members, at 5s each, at nine sparrows or starlings, as may be agreed on; 21 yards rise, l$ oz of shot, A good supply of birds. HENBY GBEENWOOD of Shibden, near Halifax will accept of the challenges both of Ralph Crossland of Holmlirth and Wm. Thornton of Bradford, and will shoot a match with each of them for £ 50 a side, in Grantham Park, near Huddersfield, at 25 birds, l$ oz of shot, the usual rise and fall; the latter to shoot from a table 30 inches high, with 1| or lfaz of shot, the butt end of the gun to rest on the table till the bird takes wing.

Clerk of the Course and Starter : Mr H. Hibburd. Judge : Mr Clark. Clerk of the Course : Mr Manning. Whatever shortcomings elsewhere we may hare had to chronicle during the present season, of which, by- the- bye, the greater half has passed away,— Goodwood is still the " glorious Goodwood" it was even in what are termed its palmy days, when, as was correctly." observed" in our last, the " sky blue and white" of the late Lord George Bentinck, and the « ' yellow and scarlet" of the Duke of Richmond were the popular colours unfurled in almost every race run for at the meeting. Oc- cupying nearly two pages— 12 columns— of the Calendar, the programme embraced engagements of every class and description, — welter races alone excepted— amounting in the aggregate to thirty- two items— a decided increase over last year— which were distributed in the following proportion:— seven to Tuesday, seven to Wednesday, ten to Thursday, and eight to Friday. Of what materiel this magnificent bill of fare was composed will appear from our report of each day's proceedings, to introduce which with the discussion of surmises is quite unnecessary, considering the length to which this report is likely to ex- tend before our week's labours are completed. It may not be out of place, however, to notice a suggestion or two which have been made to us by several owners of horses respecting the arrangement of the races, viz, to bring forward one of the large handicaps— the Steward's Cup for instance— to Tuesday, and to replace it on the Wednesday by one of the two large two year old races now appropriated to Thursday, by which alteration the interests of those owners having horses engaged in both the Findon and Bentinck Memorial Stakes would be materially augmented. Of all the brilliant meetings that have been held in the Duke of Richmond's princely domain we are unable to recall any anniversary upon which so much genuine interest has been manifested respecting the Cup race as the pre- sent, from thecircumstance of Brother Jonathan entering the lists with the French ( who may be considered annual competitors) to dispute the palm with our English " cracks." The entry, likewise, was the largest ever known for that prize, and em- braced, with a few exceptions— Blink Bonny, Saunterer, Skir- misher, Drumour, Ignoramus, Black Tommy, and Adamas— all the best horses in the country, so that iu every respect the en- counter may be termed a national one, and the triumph thereby- rendered more memorably glorious. The chief interest of course attached to the debut of the American horses, whose " time" in their own country has beeu so remarkable as to susrgest the idea of a difference in the " measured miles" of the New and theOld Worlds— with what reason will hereafter appear. In this country the time test has ever been regarded as a fallacy, whilst American sportsmen, on the other hand, swear by it, and in proof of their confidence iu its accuracy, and of the superiority of their " trials" over the English, we may state that our sporting brethren in the United States backed their opinion by their dollars with the spirit that invariably distinguishes their speculating transactions. Since Mr Ten Broeck's arrival in this'country with his horses their appearance on the English Turf has been anticipated with feverish anxiety by our Trans- atlantic brethren, and when it was known " for sure" that Goodwood would be the scene of their debut large com- missions were entrusted to ourselves and many Americans in England, to be invested on the " stripes and stars." An immense number of American sportsmen, likewise, took this opportunity of visiting the mother country to witness those beauties of " glorious Goodwood" which they have so often read of, and to assist at what has been aptly termed an " Ex- hibition of the horses of all nations." At the eleventh hour, another foreigner appeared upon the scene in Mo- narque, who, after cantering over for the principal prize at Boulogne races on Saturday, was forthwith shipped for Folkestone, and on Monday last reached Singleton, under the care of Tom Jennings, his trainer, who left Chantilly on dit with thee sanguine expectation of beating Florin and Potocki. Mons Lupin's horses had been located for nearly three weeks at Goodwood, under Richard Cumaington's care, and on the Saturday previous to the meeting, we are informed, were tried over the Cup course, when Florin ran up to his old form and beat Potocki a long way. We must now refer briefly to the latest movements which characterised the proceedings in sporting circles subsequent tothepublication of our early edition last week. The Subscription Room was opened on Saturday afternoon, but owing to many of the subscribers having already taken wing for their Goodwood quarters, there was a very thin attendance, and comparatively little business transacted, the chief incidents being an improvement in Barfleur, Somerset, and Bird in the Hand, and the decline of Fisherman and Fulbeck ( reported lame) for the Stakes ; and the advance of Gemma di Vergy to the position of first favourite for the Cup, consequent upon the decision of the Stewards, whereby his qualification to start was established. Florin was backed in good quarters at S to 1, and a new favourite in Riseber was supported with some spirit. The following list exhibits several changes compared with that last published :— THE GOODWOOD STAKES. _ _ _ came otf," thanks to Drumour showing temper at the moment when he appeared to have so much the best of it that 10 to 1 was offered on him ! Previous to the race, 12 to 1 was taken about Drumour for the Leger, but twice as much might have been had afterwards. An extra quarter ef an hour was allowed for weigh- ing for the Stewards' Cup, for which the telegraph exhibited the large number of thirty- four starters, who were despatched from the post by Mr Edward Hibburd with far les3 delay than usual. vvna rJiirirJo/ l tVio at. fav.

We have elsewhere so minutely described the race, which resulted in what may justly be termed the glorious triumph of Fazzoletto, that we shall only stop to pass a de- serving compliment to Flatman for a display of jockeyship in nursing and bringing Ms horse triumphantly through in a manner that was never surpassed. Almost " settled before starting, " Fazz" broke down so badly in the race that he could scarcely hobble afterwards, and it is a miracle how he managed to get through as he did literally upon three legs. In all probability he will never run again, being under refusal to the Rawcliffe Company for a stallion. The racing terminated shortly before five o'clock. . The general betting upon the Stakes and Cup during the in- tervals of the racing was very flat, but one or two changes upon the former are nevertheless noticeable, compared with previous quotations. The most important was the return of Fisherman, who, after being " knocked out" at the close of last week, be- came first favourite before we left the course at 7 to 1 ( takers). Martinet, Barfleur, and Bird in Hand were firm at our quota- tions, and some money was invested at outside prices upon Eloquence and Aleppo, who advanced from 1,000 to 30 to 20 to 1. Rosati was very " fishv," and Somerset likewise seemed to be " on the go." Mongrel was struck out of the Stakes and Cup at 37 minutes past three o'clock. A heavy commission was executed about Florin for the Cup, and at the close he had the decided call of both Anton and Arsenal. The Yankees were a good deal talked about, and some trifling investments were made at 10 and 12 to 1 upon the two coupled, chiefly by, or for, their own ountrymen.

A reaction, however, speedily set in, and she eventually returned to 12 to 1, but was evidently far from firm in her position. An increasing partiality for Van Dunck caused his advance to 100 to 8— with Fisherman " thrown in" 10 to 1 would have been taken to monev. Upwards of £ 200 was invested on Monarque for the Cup" at 20 to 1, and the highest price at the close was 100 to 6. A few dropped in at " the Corner " on Monday afternoon, but the proceedings were only noticeable for a bet of 200 to 20 about Rosati, and the advance of Homily to 14 to 1 for the Stakes, and au eager desire to back Arsenal for the Cup; as little as 4 to 1 was taken about the latter " with a run." In the course of the day Squire Watt was struck out of all his engage- ments, owing to his having lamed himself whilst running for the Savernake Forest Stakes at Marlborough on the Friday previous, through putting his foot in a rabbit hole. Monday was a busy day at London Bridge, and at Brighton, Worthing, Bognor, Drayton, Chichester and other stations on the South Coast Line. The trains were enormously heavy, and judging from the im- mense influx of visitors and horses" ( of which there were nearly 200 in the neighbourhood, including no fewer than one- and- twenty © f John Day's, six of John Osborne's, eleven of John Scott's, eight of Joseph Dawson's, nine of Prince's, seven of William Day's, & c.) and the extraordinary entries for the Plates and Selling races which closed that evening, the " glorious" character of the meeting bids certain to be maintained. TUESDAY.— The cloudy appearance of the morning presented far from favourable prospects of a " fine meeting," but these fears were dispelled before noon, by which time the cleuds gave place to glorious sunshine, which caused the attendance to reach the average of an opening day. The morning trains brought a large concourse of visitors both to Drayton and Chichester, in- cluding many of the aristocratic supporters of Goodwood, who were detained in town by the Indian debate the night before. The " house party"— from which the absence of many accus- tomed visitors, owing to family bereavements and other causes, was to be regretted— occupied their usual positions on the lawn, where, under the shelter of the trees, the ladies were enabled to witness the racing with far more comfort than from the ex- posed balcony of the Stand. The Ring mustered in great force, and that class— by no means a small one— who visit Goodwood more with a view to obtain a delightful change after the toils of " the season" in town than for the sole pleasure of the racing, was also well represented. Backers of horses likewise were more numerous than we have been accustomed to meet with at many of the large meetings this year, and there was a cor- responding improvement in speculation upon current events. The course was by no means hard, and being well covered with herb- age it afforded excellent " going." In order to guard against a re- currence of the frightful accident which last year happened in the Stakes, a considerable portion of the bank has been raised at the spot in question, whereby the turn is both improved and made easier, and the possibility of horses, however unmanage- able, running up the side altogether prevented. The first day at Goodwood is always enjoyed by racing men, not only on account of the absence of the mob which invariably attends upon the " grand days," but from the interesting nature of the two and three year old engagements. The card on this occasion embraced seven items, the opening event, at half- past one o'clock, being the Craven Stakes, for which all but one of the fourteen handicapped went to the post. The favourites were Special Licence and The Earl, the latter of whom broke down A good race between Alembic and Tame Deer resulted in favour of Lord Clifden's horse by a neck, the fielders thereby scoring the " first run." The same number of starters went to the post for the Gratwicke as last year, and the Chevalier d'Industrie, the favourite, as anticipated by " Observer," exercised his talents successfully, and placed this nicelittle stake— worth£ l, 100 clear- to the credit side of Mr Howard's racing account, Zuyder Zee, his chief opponent, upon whom Fobert was rather " sweet," saving his stake. Another field of five was next telegraphed for the Lavant, and the betting opened at 6 to 4 on Lord of Lorn, but the fielders were so uncommonly staunch— it was whispered that Amsterdam was a " flyer"— that at the close the field had the call. The Lord looked all the better for the work he had done since Ascot, and, by the easy style in which he won to- day justified the favourable opinion we theii expressed of his racing appearance. Mr Merry won the Lavant in 1853 with Lord of the Isles, own brother to Lord of Lorn, the latter of whom is dis- qualified for the Derby owing to the death of his breeder and nominator, Mr Andrew Johnstone, The half- mile All- aged Selling Stakes brought out eleven runners, of whom Oltenitza was the selection of the " talents." The start was delayed a considerable time through the fracttousness of four or five of the youngsters, who kept breaking away in spite of the exertions of their Lilliputian jockeys, and. when the signal was given Greenwich Fair extinguished her chance by running in a contrary direction. Oltenitza, Woodmite, and Admiralty had the race to themselves, the final struggle be- tween the two young ones resulting in favour of Woodmite by a neck, Admiralty's chance having been jeopardised by getting a worse start than the winner, but for which the result might have been different. The field for the Ham was in every re- spect worthy of that aristocratic two year old stake, the " con- tracting parties" exclusively belonging to the " upper ten thou- sand," whilst amongst the competitors were several of the most fashionably- bred animals on the Turf, including a sister to Hobbie Noble and Elthiron, a sister to Sittingbourne, a brother to Mary Copp, a son of Mendicant, a half brother to Acrobat, and a daughter of the Maid of Masham and Teddington. Of these all but Whitewall were more or less fancied, especially Blanche of Middlebie, a fine, lengthy, sbort- legged racing- like filly, who maintained the prestige of her family audi of the two year old prowess of Lord John Scott's stable by winning easily. The struggle for second honours, aad the " century" attaching thereto, was severely contested by Beadsman, Maid of Kent, and Brother to Mary Copp, and was awarded to Mr Gratwicke's filly by a " short heat?," the other two running a dead heat. The winner, though running in Lord John Scott's name, is the property of Mr Merry, who thus had the good fortune to carry off both the great two year old stakes tG- day; and ho followed up his success by winning the £ 56 Selling Plate with the Pro- phet, owing in a great measure to the inability of the juvenile upon Haymaker to " command" his horse.

Lawn showed in advance for the first quarter of a mile when he was passed by Elfrida and Alembic, the latter of whom took up the running in rising the hill, Lawn going on third, Queen of the East fourth, with The Earl, Tame Deer, Special Licence, Naughty Boy, and Kelpie next, Grseculus Esuriens and Stanhope bringing up the rear. After rounding the clump The Earl broke down, and his place was taken by Tame Deer, who was joined at the commencement of the rails by Special Licence. On the retirement of Lawn at the distance, the two latter closed with Elfrida, and Kelpie at the same time drew to the front. Half way in the distance Tame Deer chal- lenged Alembic, but failed to reach him, and was beaten very cleverly by a neck, Elfrida finishing three lengths off, a head in advance of the two year old, a length and a half from whom was Special Licence fifth, Queen of the East being sixth, and Naughty Boy next; nothing else near.

The Chevalier took a clear lead after the first hundred yards, followed by Zuyder Zee, Moestissima and Bar One lying next abreast, and Lord Glasgow s colt in the rear. At the foot of the hill Bar One took her place at the leader's girths on the left, and Zuyder Zee soon after- wards reached his quarters on the right, and in this order they ran until near the lower end of the Stand, when the favourite, who hung a little upon Zuyder Zee below the distance, shook them off, and won in a canter by four lengths, Zuyder Zee beating Moestissima for second money by three lengths, aud a head separating third and fourth. Bar One was beaten a length or two from Lord Glasgow's colt. Run in 2min 50sec.

Day 5 The betting opened at 6 to 4 on Lord of Lorn, but at the close the field had the call at evens, 7 to 2 agst Amsterdam, 5 to 1 agst Harry Stanley, and 6 to 1 agst Gin. Wilton made play with a clear lead followed by Harry Stanley and Gin, Lord of Lorn lying at their quarters on the left and Amsterdam in the rear. They ran thus at a cracking pace to the Stand, where the favourite went up, disposed of Wilton without an effort, and won in a canter by two lengths, Wilton who was stopped in the last dozen strides beating Amsterdam for second money by half a length. Harry Stanley finished a head behind the third, and Gin close up with him. Run in 51sec.

Woodmite, Scourge, Admiralty, and the Hersey filly were very fractious, and caused so many false starts that Mr Hibburd had considerable difficulty to get them into order. When the flag fell Oltenitza, Woodmite, and Admiralty were in advance, and to these three the race was confined throughout; Oltenitza making play until halfway in the distance, when she was headed by the two youug ones, Woodmite, who then took the lead, winning, after a good race with Admiralty, by a neck, the favourite finishing three- quarters of a length from the se- cond. At the head of the next lot, a long way off, were Scourge, Mimosa, Spinet, and the Hersey filly, who passed the post in the order named ; Brassia was tailed off. Greenwich Fair jumped round when the flag fell, and was left behind. Run in 5436C.

The running was made by Maid of Kent, closely waited upon by Beadsman, Brother to Mary Copp, Whitewall, and Blanche of Middlebie, the Maid of Masham filly acting as whipper- in a length or two off. There was no change until reaching the lower end of the Stand, when WhitewalL ' eat a retreat, and the favourite took a slight lead, which she increased as she went on, and won very cleverly by a length, a remarkably severe struggle for the second money resulting in favour of Maid of Kent by a short head over Beadsman and Brother to Mary Copp, who ran a dead heat. Whitewall was beaten three lengths from them, and Lord Glasgow's filly a long way. Run in lmin 24sec.

Dramatist made play for the first quarter of a mile, when Haymaker who was last off, ran past his horses and took a clear lead, Dramatist going on second, with Orianda and Un- expected in close attendance to the distance, where Dramatist was beaten. The Prophet then joined the front, and depriving Haymaker of the lead at the Stand, won easily by a length ; half a length between second and third. West End was a good fourth, and Unexpected close up with her. Dramatist beaten off. Run in lmin 57sec.

Lord Derby's Fazzoletto, by Orlando, Sst 71b Flatman 1 Mrs Osbaldeston's Minie, Sst 21b Kendall 2 The betting opened at 4 to 1 on Fazzoletto, but the horse appeared to be so lame when he cantered past that the odds fell to [ 6 to 4 on him. Minie cantered in front to the clump going out, when she increased the pace a little and her lead at the same time, Fazzoletto lying at least a 100 yards away until re- appearing in sight, when he got a little closer, and in descend- ing the hill was within three or four lengths of the mare. At the bottom Flatman felt his horse's leg give way, but knowing his gameness and observing Mini6' s distress, he nursed him with wonderful patience and skill, and at the distance was at the mare's quarters. Here he waited until nearly opposite the centre of the Stand, when he called upon his horse for a finishing effort, and overhauling the mare at every stride Fazzo- letto got his head in frant half a dozen strides from the chair, and the other not having a struggle left in her, won a most exciting race by half a length. Fazzoletto bore down towards the rails immediately Flatman put down his whip, took Mini6 with him, and chopped round so short that Flatman was almost unseated. The horse hobbled back to the Stand with the greatest difficulty.

The weather was fortunately favourable, and the display of beauty and fashion ia every re- spect worthy of the locale. Turning at once to the business portion of the proceedings, we may remark that although numerically the weakest card of the meeting, the half- dozen races produced an amount of sport to be met with in one day at no other place in the world except Goodwood, the Stewards' Cup, Goodwood Stakes, and £ 50 Plate bringing out such large fields that in the aggregate no fewer than eighty- eight horses went to the post— a display whieh must have somewhat aston- ished the many foreigners present. The proceedings commenced with a £ 50 Plate, for which sixteen of the thirty handicapped went to the post, and being half a mile only the distance just suited Madame Clicquot, whose fine turn of speed enabled her to " take the lead and keep it," although from not being par- ticularly fancied by the stable, we believe, her owner won very little by the victory. The second race was a Three Year Old Sweepstakes of 300 sovs each, for which only Drumour and Lord of the Hills went to the post, and the betting indicated that the former had quite recovered from the injury he met with isa running for the Chester Cup. The horse's " jolly" appearance, however, added to the fact of Lord of the Hills having beaten Drumour in the Two Thousand, caused a The race had divided the attention of the bookmakers with the Stakes throughout the early part of the afternoon, and long before the numbers were put up a short price was taken about several. Loyola, Lady Hawthorn, and Old Times ( a tall, three- cornered looking two year old, in John Osborne's stable) were great " pots," and at one time as little as 6 to 1 was taken about each, but these prices altered afterwards, and Tournament at the last was backed for as much money as anything except Lord Clifden's horse. The handicap produced one of the finest strug- gles that has been seen for many a day, and was so closely and severely contested to the finish, that it was not until the win- ner's number was hoisted at the chair that the spectators were assured of Tournament's success. The fielders were " within an ace" ef " skinning the lamb" by an unexpected outsider, who, it was generally considered, ought to have won ; and it was only by one of those masterly pieoes of jockeyship which Fordham so frequently exhibits, that secured this elegant trophy for Mr Douglas. Loyola never showed in the race ; Old Times met with one or two disappointments ; and Lady Haw- thorn, who finished head and head with the young one within a length or so of the winner, was overpaced at the commencement. Tournament's victory naturally called up recollections of his unsatisfactory exhibitions at Epsom and Ascot, which were attempted to be accounted for on the score of nervousness, but the horse's performance to day would lead to the conviction that he has happily overcome that failing iu an unusually short period. The Cowdray Stakes was run away with by Lady Elizabeth, who upset a " pot" upon the two year old filly by Chanticleer out of Baroness, and was claimed by the owner of the latter for £ 150. Last year the Goodwood Stakes took precedence of the Stewards' Cup, but on this occasion the order was reversed, and the short race first brought to issue. The close proximity of the two great handicaps taxed the officials not a little, and we earnestly hope that next year the suggestions elsewhere made of bringing forward the Stewards' Cup to the first day will be acted upon. The change, we are confident, will prove as acceptable to the Ring as to owners and trainers, and at the same time allow proper attention to be bestowed upon each event, which amidst the confusion that existed to- day was quite out of the question. Nineteen runners, including Potocki, one of the French favourites for the Cup, and his stable companion Paladin, were telegraphed for the Stakes, the betting upon which was uncommonly flat about all except the favourites. The principal changes w » re in Hobgoblin, Bird in the Hand, Pretty Boy, Rosati, aud Somerset, the two latter being almost friendless, whilst Pretty Boy advanced to 100 to 7, and Hobgoblinand Bird in the Hand left off soclose upon the heels of Fisherman thatin some partsof the Ring ( which was so widely " spread" that it was almost impossible to arrive at a correct esti- mateof the betting), both had thecall of the heavy weight, who, we should state, ran for thefirsttime in the colours of his new owner, by whom he was purchased from Mr Parr for £ 1,500 a short time since. The start was preceded by one or two failures, in one of which an accident occurred to Hobgoblin, which created a con- siderable sensation for the moment, recalling painful recollec- tions of the feather- weighted Chevy Chase, who caused such a catastrophe last year. Fortunately, however, it was attended by no injury to little Dear, who was knoeked out of his saddle by Hartley Buck running against him, and the race, we rejoice to state, passed off without the occurrence of any more serious con- tretemps than that which Eloquence met with, and the disap- pointments which occurred to Fisherman, who, nearly knocked down at the spot where last year's disaster took place, never got on terras with himself afterwards. The race is remarkable for the wretched exhibition which all the favourites cut, aud for Aldcroft's second successive victory upon an outsider, to which class the first four belong. Leamington's victory was even a more agreeable surprise to the Ring than that of Pretty Boy last year, as most of the bookmakers " missed him," and even his owner wins little; besides tMs stakes, although quite pre- pared for such a " turn- up." Nor could the " Hedgford divi- sion" ( who went for a " rattler" on the second) have suspected danger from such a quarter, albeit in the Chester Cup winner they met with a craft whose calibre proved too powerful for a gunboat when the fighting came to close quarters. Immediately after the race, Messrs Weatherby were served with a lengthy writ- ten notice, on the part of Gunboat's owner, not to part with the stakes, on the ground that Leamington is trained by, or under the management of Edwin Parr, who, strange to say, had be- come a defaulter for bets on the ChesterCup won by Leamington, thereby rendering the horse liable to be disqualified under the special " Condition A," which now applies at all stakes at Good- wood. The matter was investigated by the Stewards on the following day, when Mr Shelley appeared to substantiate the objection, but previous to its being entered into, Mr Higgins submitted to the Stewards whether any one being a defaulter for bets, could be recognised as in a position to be heard. The Stewards, however, did not think it desirable to stop the investigation upon those grounds; and after hearing evidence to the effect that Mr Higgins's horses, formerly trained by E. Parr, have been for some time past under the sole control and manage- ment of Hadley, his private trainer, expressed an opinion that there was no case for their interference, aud the objection was accordingly withdrawn. A Hundred Pound Handicap Plate, on the Craven Course, which proved a " good thing " for Peepiug Tom, brought the second day's sport to a close, but from the causes already explained the proceedings did not ter- minate until half- past five o'clock, being upwards of an hour behind time.

The start, was delayed a considerable time, owing to the difficulty of getting so large a field into anything like compact order. Several failures occurred, in one of which Lord Glasgow's filly ran a quarter of a mile before she was stopped. When the flag fell, Kestrel jumped off first, but the running was immediately taken up by her stable companion Un- expected, closely attended by Theodora and Church Langton, who laid next the rails, with Kestrel, Nougat, New Brighton, the Iago colt, aud Malakoff on the left, the latter lying very wide. In the middle of the ruck were Old Times, Lady Hawthorn. Tournament, and Loyola, andi n the rear Flacrow, Tricolor, and the Miss Whip filly, the latter being tailed off a long way. The first seceders from the front rank were Church Langton, New Brighton, and Nougat, after passing the distance, when Tour- nament took a more forward position close alongside of Kestrel. Until near the Stand it looked like a match between Unex- pected and Theodora, when they were joined by Tournament, who caught The Unexpected in the two last strides, and won a splendid race by a head, Unexpected beating Theodora by a jieck. Kestrel was fourth, half a length from the third, and about a head in advance of Lady Hawthorn and Old Times, both of whom appeared unable to get through their horses until within a short distance of the chair— the two year old had been twice disappointed previously. Then followed a cluster at their heels, so closely packed together that it was impossible to assign them positions, but the next lot past the post included Malakoff, Mabel, Stanhope, and Intimidation; the last division, beaten a long way, being Katherine Logie, Blue Mantle, the Miss Whip filly, Queen Bess, Church Langton, Welham, Cave Adullam, and Saxe Weimar.

Whilst walking up to the post Hartley Buck, Hobgoblin, Potocki, and one or two others broke away, and the former coming into collision with Hobgoblin, Deer was knocked out of his saddle. The little fellow fortunately escaped unhurt, and the horse having been caught was remounted. They got away at the third attempt, and after settling in their places, the running was taken up by Sluggard, who remained in advance to the first turn, where he was deprived of the lead by Hartley Buck, Aleppo going on Bsecond, Sluggard third, and' Gunboat fourth, at a clear interval from whom followed Potocki, Bird in the Hand, Van Dunck, and Somerset at the head of the second division, Leamington, Fisherman, and Hobgoblin lying in about the middle of the ruck, whilst in the rear were Eloquence, Homily, Barfleur, and Pretty Boy. Along the hill side Hartley Buck increased his lead to half a dozen lengths, and the good use whieh Fordham made of his " feather," had avisible effect upon his followers, who presented such a tremendous tail that even thus early the rear division may be said to have been out of the race. No little anxiety was felt as they approached the fatal spot where the frightful catastrophe happened last year, but all fortunately passed it in safety. At the Clump be- yond, however, au accident occurred to Eloquence, who blundered, and in trying to save herself inflicted with her hind plats a deep flesh wound under her near fore elbow, from which the blood flswed in profusion. Hart- ley Buck re- appeared in sight with a commanding lead of Aleppo, and the latter was two or three lengths in advance of Sluggard, who, dropping gradually back after passing the mile post, was soon out of the race. Approaching the last turn, Van Dunck and Somerset closed with Gunboat, and these three joining Aleppo at the top of the hill, ran with him round the clump into the straight, followed by Bird- in- Hand, Potocki, Leamington, and Fisherman, the two heavy weights who had gradually improved their positions along the top now lying side by side. When fairly iu the straight, Potocki was beaten, and half- way down the hill Van Dunck and Aleppo were also in trouble. Guaboat and Somerset then became the immediate attendants of Hartley Buck, and at the commencement of the rails Leamington and Fisherman passed Bird in the Hand, and took their places at the heels of the Hedgeford horse, almost level with whom Somerset now lay rather wide on the left. From this point Hartley Buck's lead began to diminish rapidly, and at the distance both he and Somerset were beaten; Fisherman, likewise, had been in trouble soon after entering the rails. The issue then became a match between Gunboat and Leamington, the former of whom held a slight lead until oppo- site the lower end of the Stand, when Leamington challenged, and won easily by a length. Hartley Buck stood still from leg- weariness a few strides from the chair, arid Somerset gallsping past him obtained the barren honours of third place from the Judge, finishing at least six lengths behind the seoond. Hob- goblin ran home fifth, but stopped short on this side the post, and as the remainder were pulled up a long way from home it would be useless to assign their positions further than to point out the last lot, which comprised Barfleur, Martinet, Van Dunck, Potocki, Rosati and Sluggard, the latter of whom walked in from the half mile post.

Inside the distance these two were joined by Peeping Tom, who took the lead oppo- site the Stand, and won easily by a length, a head between second and third.

Generally speaking, Goodwood, like her Majesty, is favoured with fine weather, and a more enjoyable day to partake of the richest racing feast the world affords could not be desired. Throughout the morning the railway termini at London Bridge, Brighton, and Portsmouth, we are informed, presented unfailing indications of a " Cup Day," from the extra number of the better class of visitors who availed themselves of the admirable arrange- ments made by the London, Brighton, and South Coast company for visiting Goodwood on this memorable occasion. Punctuality was observed as far as was possible under the cir- cumstances, aud at Drayton and Chichester the customary accommodation a " slight advance" on the usual " nailing" tariff, was of course demanded for conveyance to the scene of action. For some time after our early arrival on the course there were misgivings that the show of company in the Stand would be under the average, but as the hour appointed for the Cup race approached no fears were entertained of the treasury being defi- cient in its balance sheet. The sun shone resplendently, and the coup d'ceil, embracing as it did both English and foreign Royalty and aristocracy, as well as almost every class of society was worthy of being perpetuated on canvas." In the depart- ment of the Stand appropriated to the " house party," the ap- pearance of two crimson velvet chairs, decorated with gold lace, betokened the arrival of some crowned head, and after the first race had taken place there was a visible commotion amongst the aristocratic company assembled there by the ap- pearance of the Duke of Richmond escorting the Queen of the Netherlands to the seat which had been prepared for her. Her Majesty, who arrived during the morning at Good- wood House on a visit to his Grace, was warmly greeted by the Duke of Cambridge, with whom she entered into an animated conversation, in the course of which His Royal Highness handed to Her Majesty one of Mr Mason's neatly printed cards, upon which he marked the starting horses. With Lord Derby Her Majesty also appeared on the most friendly terms, and listened with evident interest to the explanation of the different courses. The Duke of Beaufort, in the course of the afternoon, as one of the stewards of the meeting, was presented to the Queen, whose countenance throughout the proceedings pourtrayed the feel- iags of delight and enjoyment which she afterwards expressed to have experienced by the insight into English racing thus afforded her. Splendid as was the contest for the Cup, it was marred in some measure by the accident which occurred to Gunboat, Gemma di Vergy, and Kestrel, but we rejoice to add that it was not attended with any of the unhappy consequences of last year, when the benevolence of the Ring, as well as of the nobility and gentry of the Turf, was so strikingly exemplified. Honoured as the Goodwood meeting has been bythe! presenceof so many foreign monarchs and princes, we cannot take leave of this portion of our introductory re- marks without once more expressing a hope that on a future occasion, when domiciled within so short a distance as Osborne, our own Queen may deign to visit Goodwood, which, next to Ascot, has sueh peculiar claims upon Royal patronage. With ten races on the card for decision, all of which, with one exception, produced contests, an early commencement was necessary, and the opening event was wisely set for one o'clock. This was a 200 sov Sweepstakes for two year old colts, which being " all the money," brought all the five entered to the post, including Sermon, a Derby favourite in Joha Osborne's stable, who had been in some demand for that race at 25 to 1 since the commencement of the meeting. Having done little or no work since Beverley, where he is said to have lamed himself, the horse was out of all form to- day, and made such a sorry ex- hibition that 1,000 to 20 was laid against him for the Derby after the race, which was carried off by Toxopholite, a finish- looking son of Longbow and Legerdemain, whose success astonished no one more than those connected with John Scott's stable. The Cymba colt did not like the hard ground. Half- a- dozen starters were telegraphed for the Molecomb, including Lord of Lorn ( 71b extra) and Vandyke ( 51b extra), old opponents, who " fought their battle o'er again" with the same result that attended their previous meeting in the New Stakes at Ascot, Mr Merry's colt — his second victory here— pulling throngb, after an interesting struggle, by a neck. Many thought that the penalties would enable Wilton, who has had a taste of each, to turn the tables, but the extra quarter of a mile to- day betrayed Wilton's weak point, and Queenstown, from the Findon stable, alone made any sort of a race with the two " cracks." The 200 sovs Sweepstakes for two year old fillies, like the previous one for colts, also fell to Lord Derby's lot by the aid of Target, a daughter of his lord- ship's old mare Miss Bowe, whose grandson Toxopholite, strauge enough, was the winner of the sister stake. Next on the card stood the Cup, set for a quarter to three, and of all the memorable contests which have distinguished that celebrated prize, perhaps none ever created more interest than the present, owing to the meeting therein for thefirsttime of theEnglish, French, andAme- rican horses. The telegraph exhibited a field of 14, two of which were French, representing different interests, and two American, belonging to the same owner. A question arose respecting Gun- boat's weight, whether or not from his having received £ 100, for running second in the Stakes the day before he was en- titled to the 81b allowance as a maiden, and the Stewards decided that, by the conditions of the race, he must carry the full weight of7st 71b. The betting on the Cup fluctuated considerably during the forenoon, and Anton and Riseber were each first favourite in their turn, but at the close both gave way to " Gemmy," who advanced to half as short a price as had been taken about either of the other two. Florin recovered from the depression caused by Potocki's defeat for the Stakes, Fisherman and Melissa appeared to have a great many supporters at the last, and those who bore in mind Monarque's performance over the same course last year were tempted by the horse's blooming appearance to " stand him again this journey." When the competitors came on to the course, the Americans of course were the " lions," and the spectators anxiously crowded round whilst they underwent the operation of saddling. Pryor, who was led by a tall intel- ligent- looking negro, is a remarkably handsome chesnut with two white feet and a blaze of white in his face; he stands fifteen hands, has brilliant action, and is said to possess wonderful powers of endurance. His appearance, however, betrayed great want of condition, and his owner informed us that the liorse was " so badly off" before leaving his training quarters at Stockbridge, that he should not have started him but for the improvement he daily exhibited after his arrival at Goodwood on the previous Saturday. Prioress is altogether a different looking animal, being fully sixteen hands high, and rather leggy, with a good forekand, and immense hips, which somewhat redeem her shabby loins. She looked fitter to run than her companion, and her appear- ance did credit to Mr R. D. Palmer, her trainer, who at one time lived in a similar capacity with the late Mr John C. Ste- vens, the head, of the American Turf in his day, for whom he was very successful with the celebrated Black Maria and other horses, which he" handled" on Long Island. Mr Ten Broeck's " turn out" was in every respect a national one, his jockeys being Americans, who wore the colours of the States— crimson and white striped jackets and blue caps. The toiletteoi both men was unexceptionable, though in England Littlefield's j high military heels seemed as strange on a jockey as Gilpatrick's i genuine Yankee beard. The latter, who came over with a special retainer to ride in the Cup, is considered the best rider in America, we believe, and to his charge was entrustsd Prioress, albeit Mr Ten Broeck declared to win with the horse. The Americans adopt altogether a different style of riding to that of our own jockeys. The former sit down on their" horse all the way, as if riding a trotting match, always have a " hard pull" on, and never shake or " roll" them at the finish of a race, consequently, as was the case on this occasion, ninety- nine spectators out of a hundred might naturally imagine from the absence of all movement of the arms that the riders were " roping !" All sorts of rumours were afloat that the Yankees had been tried to beat the best time ever known in England, but it was tout au contraire— the trial " came off crabbs," inas- much as that a two year old which joined in with the Cup nags at the end of a mile and a half to finish the last mile with them, won by an immense distance, and was in turn " beaten into fits" by a two year old in the Danebury stable ! This result of course weakened their owner's confidence considerably, but from the im- provement his horses exhibited after their arrival at Goodwood, and satisfied of their real form in America, Mr Ten Broeck and his friends, as well as all the Americans who visited the meeting, supported Pryor and Prioress with con- siderable spirit, and besides backing them to. win between nine and ten thousand pounds, Mr T. B. pluckily made a £ 2,000 book on the race! Amongst Englishmen they had very few supporters, though everybody admitted them to be " good looking" and " fine goers! " We have elsewhere given a minute description of the race ( which was run atawretched pace throughout, the two miles and a half occupying 5m : 16sec, 27sec slower than last year), and it will be thers learnt that the Americans ran much better than was expected of them in fact, our opinion strengthened by that of many of the jockeys who rode therein, is that it was quite upon the cards for Prioress to have won. She lost a great deal of ground at all the turns, but looked so " dangerous " even up to the distance that under such disadvantages it is by no means improbable, if skil- fully handled, she might have obtained a much more prominent position at the finish. Mr Ten Broeck, we believe, was greatly dissatisfied with the riding of Gilpatrick, who seemed to b « all abroad. He " squared accounts" with the jockey the next morning, and the latter's next mount, we take it, will be iu America. Both horses are certain of " seeing a bet- ter day," for the manner in which Pryor struggled to the end is a proof that no journey is too long for him ; and we must do Brother Jonathan the justice to state that he was by no means so disgraced as his opponents reckoned upon. The race, which was unfortunately attended by an accident, whereby the favourite and two others were placed Iwrs de combaft about half a mile from home, produced a maguifioent struggle between Monarque and Riseber, recalling the contests of Charles XII. and Hyllus, The Hero and Eryx, Nancy and Cossack, & c, and resulted in the triumph of the French horse by a head. This makes the fourth Goodwood Cup that has been carried off by our Continental neighbours, three of them within the last five years having been won by French bred horses; and if Ashmall had been " up " on Monarch, m « e Spreot. v. last year, no Rogerthorpe would have won. As a popular nobleman and an honourable supporter of the French Turf, however, every- body must rejoice at Dame Fortune's caprice in reserving so dis- tinguished a trophy for the present owner of Monarque, Count de la Grange, who, acting on the judgment of Thomas Jennings, his trainer, backed the old horse with the confident expectation of beating Mons Lupin's " crack," Florin, of whose form they had the true ling through Mademoiselle de Chantilly. Most of the French money, however, was on Floriu, who ran respectably, and his owner's investments alone, we are informed, amounted to upwards of £ 2,000. Fisherman confirmed the opinion Mr T. Parr expressed beforehand— that he would improve upon his per- formance in the Stakes ; and though Flatmau succeeded in ob- taining a " situation" for Anton, the unfortunate accident that occurred at the last turn, which is fully detailed in the account of the race, so completely extinguished the chanees of Anton and Arsenal as to nullify their efforts afterwards in toto. Gemma di Vergy was pulling so hard when he fell that Aldcroft made certain of winning, and judging from his Chester Cup running with Risober, " Jimmy" must have been " there or thereabouts." Though fortunately unattended by the serious consequences which attached to the frightful accident in the Stakes last year, Rogers and Aldcroft were both severely shaken by their fall, whilst David Hughes received a slight concussion of the brain, from which, however, he recovered suffieiently, to be removed to the infirmary shortly afterwards. The horses escaped unhurt, we believe. Our remarks upon the remainder of the racing must be brief. The Cup was sucoeeded by the new two year old race, the Findon Stakes, which, sin- gularly enough, was carried off by its projector, whose horses are trained at the place from whence the race takes its title. A field of eleven started, minus TheLordof Lorn, whose stable was repre- sented by the Liverpool winner, Sunbeam. PerfectionandDeceiver were the favourites in the Ring, but they were separated in the race by Sunbeam, who failed however to rob perfection of her charms, and the " pot" on the latter was landed by a neck, Deceiver being beaten three- quarters of a length by Mr Merry's filly. The winner is most appropriately named, and if we mis- take not, one or two of the unplaced lot will be heard of hereafter. The Racing Stakes afforded another rattling set- to between J. Goater and Wells, on Schiedam and Bird in the Hand, and fortune again smiled upon Mr Howard. Melissa, who cut up badly in the Cup, was again brought out to run against Aleppo for the Fifth Bentinck Memorial, but being in Mr F. Villiers's name she was objected to by Captain White, and the Stewards deciding in the latter's favour, Aleppo walked over. John Scott introduced a third two year old winner to- day in Longrange— another of the running Longbow family— who disposed of his opponents in the Seventh Bentinck Memorial in such style that he forthwith became first favourite for the Derby at 1,000 to 70 ( takers), a good deal of money having previously been invested on him at 20 and 18 to 1. Chevalier d'lndustrie had the hardi- hood to oppose Blink Bonny for the Sixth Bentinck Memorial, but she made a pretty example of him, and with health bids fair to carry off the Memorial itself next year. 450 to 200 was taken twice about her winning this race and the Leger, and 700 to 400 about the latter outright. Ignoramus was backed for £ 400 at 3 to 1, and 5,000 to 100 was taken about Bashi Bazouk, the backers of the latter being anxious to go on at the price.

The running was made by East Langton, followed by Beadsman and Toxopholite, the other two lying off. At the distance East Langton was beaten, and the Cymba colt took his place between Toxopholite and Beadsman, but failed to reach Lord Derby's horse, who went on with the running, and won in a caater by a length, half a length between second and third, East Langton who came again at the last finishing three- quarters of a length behind Beadsman ; Ser- mon was beaten a long way.

After entering the rails, Qneenstown took second place, and on the retirement of Wilton at the distance was left with a slight lead. The favourite and Vandyke then joined the mare, and the three ran a good race home, which resulted in Lord of Lorn's favour by a neck, Vandyke beating Queenstown by half a length. Wilton was beaten two lengths from the mare, and York a long way from him. Run in lmin 24sec.

The start, which took place at ten minutes to three, was preceded by two slight failures, the first caused by the eagerness- of Pryor, Viscount, and Arsenal, and the second by Viscount, Riseber, and Gunboat breaking away. When the signal was given Viscount showed in advance, but being pulled back, and all the jockeys having apparently " waiting orders," there was no decided leader until turning out of the straight ( nearly half a mile after starting), when Prioress bore the '' stripes" in front, and took a commanding le3 d at anything but a clipping pace, Florin going on second, Gunboat third, Viscount fourth, and Melissa fifth; Monarque, Arsenal, Fisherman, and Pryor comprising the next lot, whilst in the rear laid Kestrel, Gemma di Vergy, Anton, and Mary. Along the hill- side the American mare increased her lead considerably, but her jockey taking an angle of his own, and bearing towards the lower ground, which caused us to think he had mistaken the course, Prioress lost her forward position at the commencement of the far turn, where, instead of benefiting by these tactics. Gi!- patrick found four or five others before him, Gunboat having pos- sesion of the lead. Behind the hill, however, the Yankee put on the steam again, snd re- appeared in sight half a dozen hv^^ n^ a'd'p1C\ 0fGu', l, oat'wh0 was soon afterwards joined by Florin and Riseber, and this lot closing with Prioress as they rose the hill came round the last turn nearly side by side. At an interval of two or three lengths fr* m them laid Monarque and Viscount, and at their heels succeeded Fisherman au! Arsenal, who gave Melissa the go- by after passing the mile post, at which point the lo t may be said to hive been all together, so very moderate was the pace. After turning into the straight; Riseber took up the running, and Gunboat agaiu became second for a few strides, when striking into the grey's heels ha fell a burster, and caused a great deal of confusion amongst those behind him. Florin and Fisherman, being on his left, escaped him, as did the American mare, who laid wide of them! whilst Monarque, who was running nearly in Riseber's track on the inside struck the horse with his hind legs and turned him completely round, but without meeting with the slightest disappointment himself! Arsenal, less fortunate, blundered over Gunboat on to his head and heels, but was quickly recovered; Gemma di Vergy, who pulled so tremen « dously that Aldcroft was about to indulge him by going to the front at the very moment, rolled over the fallen horse; and Kestrel being close behind, was likewise upset. Hughes laid on the ground quite insensible, but Rogers and Aldcroft were soon on their feet again, though both sub- sequently suffered a good deal from the severe shaking they received. Anton, who had been " most attentive" to Gemma di Vergy throughout the race, was right in the track of the latter when the scrimmage occurred, and before Flatmaa had time to pull him either to the right or left, Anton jumped over both horses and jockeys as they laid on the ground, but as a matter of course his chance was by no means benefited by this hunting performance. Viscount, Melissa, and Prv0r, who, like his stable companion, ran the outside circle, were beaten at the time of the accident, after the occurrence of whieh little remains to bej described. Riseber was followed to the com- mencement of the rails by Florin and Prioress, the latter still running by herself iu the centre of the course— when Florin was beaten, and his place was taken by the other Frenchman. Monarque, between whom and the American mare Wells now brought up Fisherman. Just before reaching the distance, the Yankee's fate was sealed, and the weight telling upon Fisher- man in the uext fifty yards, the issue was left to Riseber and Monarque, Ashmall waiting with the latter at the grey's girths until opposite the lower corner of the Stand, when he chal- lenged, and won a splendid race by a head. Fisherman finished three lengths off, and Anton ( who passed several of the beaten ones inside the distance) nearly twice as far from him, Florin being fifth ( separated by one of the loose horses from Anton), Prioress sixth, Pryor seventh, and Melissa next; the others were stopped a long way from home.

H. filly, the Subterfuge colt, and Ancienfc Briton closely laid up on the left as far as the distance, after passing which the three placed had the finish to themselves, Perfection, who waited to the Stand, winning a fine race by a neck, Sunbeam beating Deceiver, who " bucked" whan close upon the chair, by three- quarters of a length. At an interval of six lengths Ancient Briton was fourth, the Subterfuge colt fifth, Punster sixth, and Blackthorn and the H. R. H. filly the two next, this lot being close together.

The Plush colt, going off at score, made play with a clear lead, followed by Rhisus and Schiedam, Fugitive lying fourth, Bird in the Hand next, and the other two together in the rear. After entering the straight Fugitive dropped off, and Bird in the Hand took his place at the side of Rhisus, who, on the retirement of the Plush colt at the distance, went on with the running. At the Stand they were joined by Schiedam, and a slashing race ensued with the three, Schiedam winning by & head, and the favourite beating Rhisus by three- quarters of a length.

Kendall walked over FRIDAY.— The great length to which our report has extended, and the pressing demands upon our space compel us to be brief in the introductory remarks to the last day's proceedings, which proved a worthy finale to one of the most brilliant meetings ever held at Goodwood. The weather continued most propitious, and the attendance was much better than usual on the Friday heres including a great many ladies and most of the distinguished visitors at the House, whoso presence we have already noticed. The card embraced seven items, the principal of which brought out large fields and afforded some first- rate sport. The first two races it will be seen fell to the lot of Lord Exeter, the Nursery, for which the Ilsley Yaller Gal was an uncommon " hot- un," was carried off by Mr T. Parr's Kelpie. Mr Howard won the Chesterfield Cup with Consquot, Sir John Barker Mill's Flying Englishman proved successful in the Duke of Richmond's Plate, and in the March Stakes, with which the meeting ter- minated, Yaller Gal's second essay recompensed her backers for their losses on the previous race. Fordham, it will be seen, was in great force to- day, having ridden the four first winners. The racing, which commenced at twelve o'clock, terminated soon after four, and we once more bade adieu to " glorious Good- wood," hoping that under the stewardship of the Marquis of Ailesbury and Lord W. Powlett, we may next year have to re- port so successful a reunion as that over which the Duke of Beaufort and Mr Stirling Crawfurd officiated in such a business- like manner on this occasion. The Newmarket staff " is justly entitled to praise for the satisfactsry manner in which the judging, starting, and weighing were conducted by Messrs Clark, Edward Hibburd, and Manning; ner must we for- get to do justice to the efficient services rendered by the small body of police on the course, under the direction of Superin- tendent Walker of the A division, assisted by Inspectors Grant aud Richardson, and to the vigilance exercised in the Grand Stand by Inspector Whiteher of the Detective Force, whose pre- sence kept the ch& valiers d'Industrie completely at bay. Choice refreshments are a great desideratum at all times, more especially on a racecourse in such hot weather as we were subjected to during this meeting, and in praising Mr Careless for the excellence of his " stock in trade" and the moderate character of the charges, we are only doing justice to the veteran Turf Commissary- General. The ad- mirable arrangements of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company gave universal satisfaction throughout the week to the thousands who patronised that economical and conve- nient mode of conveyance to and from their respective quarters. Mr Hawkins, the able superintendent of traffic, was continually on the qui vive to guard against accidents and delay to the visitors, and his efforts were ably seconded by Messrs Balchin, Daniels ( assisted by Mr Anscombe, of Epsom), and Fitzgeralds the station masters at Brighton, Drayton, and Chichester. It will be seen that Aldcroft and David Hughes, two of the jockeys who fell in the Cup race yesterday were all right again and able to ride to- day, Sam Rogers, likewise, being little £ he worse for his spill.

They walked to the Stand, and cantered for the next half mile, Hamlet leading, and the favourite lying off. They proceeded thus at a bad pace until entering the straight, when Fright joined Hamlet, and thus the two ran together almost to the distance. The latter then dropped off, and Turbit taking his place alongside Fright, headed him without an effort, and won, hard held, by a neck. Run in 8min 20sec.

The Vigil made play to the distance, where the others joined her, and the three ran together to the lower end of the Stand, at which point Saxe Weimar was in trouble— a splendid race between the two fa- vourites resulted in the victory of Lord Exeter's mare by a neck; Saxe Weimar beaten off.

Admiralty, Kelpie, and Pinsticker bringing up the rear. This order was maintained to the turn into the straight, where Apollo and the Catalpa filly dropped off, Old Times, Kelpie, Brother to Mary Copp, Wrestler, and Plumstone took their places next to Orchehili and the favourite. At the distance the two latter were in trouble— and the lead was taken by Old Times, who went on with it to the Stand, when Kelpie, who had been ly. ng at his girths, deprived him of the lead, and won easily by three quarters of a length, Brother to Mary Copp finishing two lengths from the second, about a length in advance of Wrestler, who was fourth, Plumstone being fifth, and Jack Horner next, with Yaller Girl and Orchehill in close attendance* BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 2, 1857. 5 The last lot were The Admiralty, Catalpa filly, and Pinstioker.

This meeting, which was formerly held in the autumn, came off on Thursday and Friday, under more than usually favourable auspices, the clerk of the course ( to wftom, and not a committee, the credit is due) wisely considering this part of the season more suitable for visitors and in-; resident gentry, and, what is more important, more con- venient for the neighbouring farmers as not encroaching on the busy time of farming operations. The show of com- pany, however, was not so great as we had anticipated, considering the class of sport promised, and which was actually realised. The arrivals of strangers at Mr Irving's, Clydesdale Hotel, were not numerous until the mid- day tram, of which most of them availed themselves to be " just in time. In the private carriages on the race ground we observed General and Misses Monteith Douglas. Lady Macdonald Lockhart, Captain Mosmau, Messrs Bertram, Gillespie, Collyer, Paterson, Mac- queen, Gray, Sharpe, Chancellor, & c, & c. The day, which threatened in the morning to be drizzly, turned out remarkably fine. The whole proceedings were conducted most satisfactorily, and we must compliment the judge and starter on the manner in which they discharged their respective duties.

THURSDAY, JULY 30.— The bad management which for nearly half a century " played the bear" with these races, ha- s happilv been superseded by a committee of the " right sort." Beyond the abolition of morning and evening racing, their recent accession to power, presented no great improvement upon former days; but, next year, we are assured they intend it shall equal any meeting of its class, when it is hoped that the example of sueh ' liberal donors as Earl Beauchamp ( the hon steward) and others, will be pretty generally followed by the gentry resi- dent in the neighbourhood, " professing " so much regard for the recreation and amusement of the toiling division.

Notwithstanding the very liberal and excellent " bill of fare" presented by the Stewards and Committee of these races for the entertainment of visitors to the Murrogh of Wicklow, the sport fell far short of general anticipation, owing to the want of horses— a want entirely occasioned by the dangers and difficulties of the course. The narrow slip of land known as the Murrogh, round which lies the course, is now intersected by the railway; . and so badly has the turning across it been engineered, and the gates ( a space of only 25 feet) arranged, that no long- striding animal has the least chance to get round it safely, as instanced on the present occasion by the contretemps toTheTattler on the first day and Irus on the second; nor indeed could Schneider make any hand of it, losing so much ground at both turns, that his chance was completely put out. A change is consequently necessary, and which might be easily effected by adopting the fine straight course running along the margin of the sea, or that at present in use might be made to answer by running to the left and easing both turns, which could be done at a trifling expense. The attendance was, as usual, immense, chiefly con- veyed by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway, select special trains being despatched direct from the Harcourt- road station and from Westland- row via Kingstown; and we have much pleasure in complimenting the officials of the company upon the excel- lence of the arrangements, whereby so large an accession of visitors were enabled to reach the scene of action with safety and despatch. The racing calls for no particular observation, The Nore, a slow game animal, receiving lots of weight from horses of her own year, winning the principal event very cleverly at the finish, and the two succeeding events were won equally easily, Yeutick making an example of those engaged against her for the Stewards' Plate. The second day's sport was a complete failure, owing to the 50 Sovs weight for age Plate not having filled; and the weights being set too low to find riders for the race substituted, it also fell to the ground. Two Handicaps were subsequently made, the first of which, after three well- contested heats, ended in the success of the Bread Earner; and in the second, Yeutick proved how much he had in hand the day previous by giving The Disowned 24lb and a good thrashing.

The Nore made the running, followed in single file by Remedy, Empress, Schneider, and The Tattler, in the order given, nothing material occurring until reaching the turn at the railway crossing, when The Tattler swerved out of the course, but stopping himself in the furze, he luckily only got in slight contact with the pailing, the force, however, being quite sufficient to throw his jockey over on to the rails, luckily without injuring him in the least. The heat ended in a match between The Nore and Remedy, the latter winning after a severe set- to by half a neck.— Second heat: 2 to 1 on Remedy. The Nore cut out the work at as strong a pace as she could make, and won easily by a length. — Third heat: 2 and 3 to 1 offered on The Nore, who waited on Remedy to the railway crossing, where she took the lead and won easily by two lengths.

SIR : The few hours that will intervene between the fall of the curtain at Goodwood and the publication of your report thereof precludes me from doing that justice to the meeting at which we have just assisted, that I could desire. I shall there, fore defer until next week the impressions I have formed of the four days' racing at Goodwood. The Brighton meeting, from the improvement which has been made in it by Mr Dorling, cannot be passed over in silenee( although in truth it is little more than a rechauffeeot Good, wood. The programme, far from complete at the present mo- ment, presents six races per diem, but I am only enabled to notice a few of them. The Brighton Handicap, or Brighton Stakes, as it was wont to be called, has been " a success," seventeen having accepted out of the twenty- nine that were weighted, and as the Goodwood Stakes is always a pretty sure line to go by here, I shall select Hartley Buck and Somerset as the most formidable pair. The Three- year- old Biennial has 22 nominations, Blue Jacket, Gleesinger, and Commotion being the most formidable of those in training, and of this trio Blue Jacket is most to be feared. The Two- year- old Biennial has twenty animals named for it, but none with such claims to my respectful notice as Deceiver. The Champagne Stakes I must award to Gemma di Yergy, and should like to see Prioress, well piloted, as his opponent. The Nursery ought to fall to'the let of Captain Christie. The Marine Plate looks likely to be carried off by Raven or Lady Hercules. In the Pavilion Plate, after The Unexpected, The Raven again looks most formidable; and old Minos, who has all the allowances, ought surely to get through the Cup.— Yours, & c OBSERVER.

Gambart and Com' pany, the well- known sporting publishers, of Berners- street, Oxford- street, have just brought out a coloured engraved por- trait of this celebrated " flyer," from a picture taken from life by Mr W. Hunt, who has happily succeeded in delineating the fine racing points and characteristic peculiarities of the animal; and we have no doubt it will meet with the success amongst Blink Bonny's admirers that it deserves. RACING IN FRANCE. BOULOGNE- SUR- MER RACES. [ EROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] For many years these races have been falling off, and this present season we should hope will be the last under the management of the present " incapables," whose conduct as racing men is beyond comment. It is to be desired that either a committee of the town be formed, who will procure some member of the Jockey Club to act as steward, or that the pro> gramme be issued entirely from " head quarters," the present proceedings being but a scandal on our national recreation. One of the most desirable races here would be a two year old race, with penalties and allowances, which, if of sufficient value, might procure at times a visitor from England, as also would the handicap and selling race ; but at present, from the unac- countable meanness of the management, scarce a dozen persons beyond the actual racing community ever know of the approach of the races until a day or two before they are run. What appears most astonishing is, that this half English town is allowing its race meeting to become a ridicule, whilst all the little meetings around, with not half the resources, are im- proving in the most rapid manner, and developing the evident delight taken by all parties in the sport. The racing was of the very poorest, and barely worthy of a return; the class of horses, however, included a few of the " first flight" on their way to England to join several of their countrymen already arrived— with what success may be seen elsewhere. In the opening race the Count de Moray's Flamm6che cut down Brassia in the easiest manner possible, never giving her supposed fine speed a chance of showing itself. The handicap was a perfect surprise, although it was well ksown that the winner's— Thea— spring running was to be taken for nothing; the great wonder, how- ever, was to account for her position at Amiens a few days be- fore, where she was beaten by Suresnes as easily as she beat the latter to- day. Diamant was in great form, aud cut down Ronzi — who attempted to give him lllb— in the commonest of canters. Glede Hawk, an English horse, made his first appearance in this country for the Prix de l'Empereur, and beat his solitary opponent, Brulot, easily enough; and another Englisher— Pcean— won a match with Legacy. The second day Diamant beat Glede Hawk in a canter, Monarque walked over for the Prix Imperial, Legacy " turned the tables" on Poean and some other brutes for the Selling Race, and Brassia won the Consola tion, which ended the sports (?) at Boulogne- sur- Mer.

[ FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] SUNDAY, JULY 19.— The day's sport at Amiens was highly creditable to the managers, and is another proof of the advancement evident in the northern country meetings. Such a crowd was never before seen at Amiens race course, nor ever, we hope, will be subjected to such uncourteous treatment at the hands of officials as was their lot this day. No respect was shown to persons whatever, and the re- cognised " little rights" of owners of horses, trainers, and jockeys, were altogether set at nought. The racing, however, was ex « cellent, and Count Morny quite the hero of the day, his stable for once, after a long rest, carrying all before it. A kind of trial steeple chase over the " mildest" of fenees produced a good field of horses, and a very interesting race, and wound up this capital day. PRIX DES HARAS of 1,000?, for three and four year olds; weight for age; penalties and allowances; entrance, 50f, to go to the second ; 2,000 metres ( lm 2fur); 9 subs.

Tchernaia took up the running at a good paoe with Noblesse, Golconde, and Fleur- des- Loges in close company, whilst Th6a and Seville laid off; after running about a mile and a half with the lead, Tchernia resigned to Suresnes, who emerging from the middle increased the pace so visibly that Eulogist, Bordeaux, and Fleur- des- Loges were immediately dis- posed of, and dropped into the rear. Golconde and Noblesse laid second and third to Suresnes approaching the last turn, and Th6a and Seville, passing one by one the beaten horses, raced round the turn into the straight, and got up within a length of Suresnes; at the distance Golconde was beaten, and immediately afterwards Seville " cried enough," when a pretty race with the three year olds ensued, which ended in favour of Suresnes by three parts of a length, Noblesse, who came again at the finish, beating Th6a by the same distance for second place; Seville was a bad fourth, Golconde, Fleur- des- Loges, and Le Monsieur next, and Eulogist tailed off.

Deceitful jumped off with the lead, Tor- e ent, Gague Petit, and Lady Arthur his immediate followers all cleared the first hurdle well with the exception of Noir Ani- mal, who bolted through the cords, aud at the next fence fell and had no more to do with the race. Ratapoil also soon after fell and was disposed of, meanwhile Torrent headed Deceitful, and the pace became first- rate ; Gague Petit and Lady Arthur held third and fourth positions, and Kibworth Lass, Xantippe, and Cordoue followed in the order named. No change took place until half a mile from home, when Deceitful was beat, and Cordoue rushing past her horses took the lead from Torrent, was never afterwards caught, and won easily by half a length, Lady Arthur a moderate third, the others beaten off.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.— The Istanboul left Plymouth on the 16th, with a full cargo for Melbourne; also carrying out the largest number of thorough bred horses ever sent to Melbourne in one vessel. The horses have been selected and shipped by J. Purvis, Esq, one of the oldest settlers and oldest supporters of the Turf in Victoria. There are four yearlings, two and three year olds, untried, the others brood mares, and the entire horse Peter Wilkins, by The Flying Dutchman out of Typee's dam, intended as a stallion. From this horse's blood and appearance we think he will be a great acquisition to the colony, for no better blood could have been selected in England, and the im- portation of the young horses is likely to prove most advantageous to the racing colony of Victoria, 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 2, 1857.

Stewards: J. Belfleld, Esq, H. Studdy, Esq. Secretary and trea- surer, J. T. Goodridge, Esq. Nestled in the north west cotner of Torbay, and com- manding, across three miles of the bay, one of the best views of the unrivalled western watering place, Torquay, is situated Paignton, once an obscure and almost unknown fishing village, now an attractive resort for invalids and pleasure- seekers. In- creasing with their prosperity has been the ambition of its in- habitants, and, for years past, they have vied successfully with their more aristocratic neighbours in providing a capital regatta, as well for their own amusement as the gratification of the visi- tors. This year the exertions of the committee, supported by a keen sportsman in the person of their highly respected and zea- lous honorary secretary, were more than usually successful; a handsome sum was subscribed, the number of competing vessels more than the average. The weather, on Thursday, was highly favourable, a drizzling rain, about nine o'clock, introducing a stiff breeze from the south- west, which happily continued throughout the day, and clearing the air of humidity, gave the necessary life and animation to the sports. As an example to others less magnanimoss ( and Torquay for one may perhaps take the hint) the lessees of the Paignton Pier very liberally relin- quished their dues on all vessels engaged in the sports, or con- taining pleasure parties, who preferred the cool and invigorating breezes on the " briny " to the sand and dust which are the un- pleasantly inevitable adjuncts of the shore, under circumstances highly favourable to sailing. There was no particular feature to notice, if we except Capt Bayly's second victory with the Ethel, it being only her second time of raoing. The following is a record of the sports :— A PRIZE for boats belonging to Paignton Harbour, bona fide the property of fisherman. First prize £ 1 10s, second £ 1 6s, third £ 1 Is, fourth 15s, fifth 10s. First round: Stingaree, J. Pepton; the Fiend, Parnell; Eliza, Matthews; Ellen, R. Daniel; Isabella, F. Churchward. The start was effected at 12: 45, the Fiend, whose position was the best, taking a decided lead, fellower: at a distance of about a dozen boats' lengths by the others, all well together when off Torquay. TheEliza reached the Fiend and passed her slightly, but very soon lost her advantage, the Fiend fetching about a length ahead; in this order they raced for about a couple of miles, when off the flag- boat the Eliza again challenged, passed her antagonist, and shot some lengths ahead, but going too far out, she lost her ground in beat- ing back, and Stinsaree being more successfully handled got the lead by a couple of minutes. On rounding the mark boat ( first time) Isabella carried away her gaff topsail, which threw her astern a little, but eventually came in the winner. The following is the record of running:— YACHT. lST ROUND, 2D BOUND.

The reputation of the Ethel consequent upon her achievement at Plymouth last week, made her an object of much interest. She was closely criticised by yachtsmen, and caused some diversity of opinion, although generally she was a favourite. It was expected, however, that the Fairy and Curlew would run her close. The Firefly was Unknown, as this was her first appearance in saf. t water. What- ever doubts may have existed as to the result were speedily set at rest by the conduct of Ethel, who behaved adrcirably, took the lead first round, when off Torquay, and was never fetched afterwards.

The annualof the Royal Southrons came off as above under the most favourable auspices. Ou both days there was a strong breeze from the west, quite enough to be agreeable, or even to try the matal of the contending yachts. Better sport and prettier sailing matches it has not been our good fortune to witness for many years; and had it not been for the melancholy disaster which happened on the first day, there would have been nothing to have disturbed the harmony of the event. In our last we were enabled by means of the electric telegraph to give to our yachting friends the result of the first day's sport, so far as related to the order of arrival; but the race is not at all times to the swift, as will be seen by our report, which we now present in full. Iu the first place we take occasion to observe that we were placed under embarrassing circumstances, having " to fish out" our information in the best manner we could. The " mutiny" having extended to the printers, no cards of the programme were in esse uutil after the departure of the yachts. Thanks, however, to the courtesy of the gallant secretary, who enabled us to extract from his " big book" the order of the day, or we should have been left, like brother Jonathan, to " guess it; and even then we were unable to keep company with the yachts owing to there being no committee or excursion steamer to acoompanv them on their course. We were, consequently, left to thread our way as best we could in the several steamers to and from Southampton and Cowes, whioh we gladly availed ourselves of— thus, we were enabled to pass and repass the con- tending vessels in the match, three times round the course, ana to note down the various incidents which transpired during the onward progress of the yachts, from their departure to the goal. To all acquainted with the quiet waters of the Anton except with a south- easter, few words are required. This much we must add, that a more fitting place for a regatta ( if we except tlie other places in the Solent) could not be selected. Still there is a great want of system afloat in the department of the harbourmaster, if there is such a being outside the docks, in not having a clear ohannel kept for such occasions, particu- larly in the'neighbourhood of the starting vessel. Yaohts indiscriminately dropped their anchors, and brought up just where their masters pleased, which caused considerable annoy- ance to the racing vessels ou their near approach to the goal, particularly when every second was an object to them— ' the lufflng- up aad keeping away" to avoid unpleasant proximity to the booms and bowsprits might have been prevented by keeping a clear channel iu the vicinity of the starting vessel. Till the present occasion we never remember observing such a forest of masts, and so many large class yaohts of the R. Y. S. as were congregated iu the neighbourhood. The morn of Friday broke with the promising appearance of a breeze The sky was somewhat heavy with lowering clouds, but the sun afterwards shone out brilliantly. At eight bells a gua frotp the Destiny schooner, moored off the Town Quay, an- nounced that the doctor had made it eight o'clock, and in a few moments the signal haulyards wore manned, and yachts out of number, together with the club- house Semaphore, betokened a very lively scene ashore aud afloat by a display of bunting, and henceforth everything seemed to be in motion. Sails were hoisted on board the yachts, and they were shortly seen pro. ceeding to their respective stations. At length ten o clock arrived and a gun warned the contending vessels to pick up their stations. We now come to the programme of the day. The ROYAL SOUTHERN YACHT CLUB PURSE of 50 sovs, for vachts of any rig or tonnage belonging to a royal yacht « lub, o m Ackers's scale. Entrance fee for non- members £ 2.

Out of such a splendid list the larger yachts only came to the scratch, notwithstanding all of them had drawn for stations. The following is a list of the competitors, and the order in whicn thettALd:~ I LULWJBTH. | EMMET. WILDFIRE. MOSQUITO. ALMA. VXTRAVAGAKZA I UYCLQ2TE. | The start was Effected at 10: 30. The Vestal, having the weather- most station, took advantage of her position, and was the first to take a decided lead, although the position of the wind, winch was W S W was free for all the yaohts. The whole of them started with their mainsails up, and iu a few minutes after- wards every sail was set aud drawing. In the run down the river Vestal set her balloon- jib, and was closely followed by Wildfire, who in a few minutes afterwards gave way to the Lul- worth • then followed the others, making but slight cnange of position until about 11: 15, when they were in the neighbourhood of the Light ship. Up to this period they carried a neavy press of sail, but now prepared to haul their wind, and accordingly doused their gaff- topsails. We were unable to notice with exacti- tude the time at whicheach vessel passed the Caishot Light vessel but from first to last, there was an interval of six minutes, and frem the distance we were off, we could not discern which was the leading vessel. At 11: 22 we descried the Wildfire as the lead- ing vessel round the east buoy of the Brambles. The Mosquito ( apparently) close to her heels. Fom hence they had a beating match round the southward of the Brambles. Mosquito passed the Wildfire, and Lulworth became the leading vessel. We had, now reached the West Bramble, and, through the courtesy of the captain of the Gem steamer, we were enabled to note then- time on passing the Red Buoy :— TT m. s. H. M. s. VESTAL li 47 50 EXTBAVA.- ~ GANZA 1154 6 The Vestal, on neariug the Brambles, was necessitated to make a short tack to weather the buoy with safety, by which she lost a couple of minutes. The cutters which followed in her wake appeared to have overreached themselves when passing Old Castle Point. It then became a close match between the Extra- vaganza, Cyclone, and Emmet; at times it was difflcu. lt to say which had the lead. On turning our glass towards the Wildfire we observed something had befallen her when between the flag- buoy and the Spit, she having wore round out of her track, aud after some little delay continued her course. We subse- quently ascertained that while one of the hands was casting off the 8tops of the bonnet of her foresail he accidentally fell over- board, the Wildfire put about for him, having previously thrown to him a life- buoy ; a small vessel, the Eaglet, however, picked him up. The Wildfire having ascertained that the man was saved, continued her course. From the Bramblei% the yachts kept away for the Spit, and eventually completed the first round of the course as follows :— e. M. s. i H. M, s. LULWOP. TH . .12 23 5 WLLDFIBB,.. .12 29 45 EMHET 12 43 18 MOSQUITO. ... 12 28 451 VESTAL 12 31 61 The other yachts were not timed, having given up all further idea of contesting. After rounding the starting vessel, the above yacfets continued their course for the second round; the Lulworth having a good lead of the Mosquito, whereas the Wildfire and Vestal kept each other company. About 1: 15 we again fell in with them off the Calshot— the Lulworth leading by about a couple of miles of the Mosquito, and the latter about half a cable's length from the Vestal and Wildfire; while the Emmet was off Fawley, wending her way by herself. On ap- proaching the committee vessel on the second round, nothing could exceed the interest and excitement of the spectators as the yachts stood through the maze of shipping, the Mosquito staggering under her jib- headed topsail, and foaming like a mad dog. On the second and last round we timed them as under :— 2D BOUND. 3D BOUND. I 2D BOUND. 8D BOUND H. M. S. H. M. S. H. M. s. H. H. S.

On the arrival of the yachts at the goal a protest was lodged against the Wildfire, inasmuch that she did not return with the same number of hands she left with; the objection, according to the rules and regulations, was fatal, and the committee appear to have hai no alternative but to pass the " Plate " over to the Vestal as the next vessel in by time. Thus the trivial accident — that the man was saved, but not ou board the Wildfire— lost her the well- earned prize. This decision was not arrived at until the meeting of the committee on Monday, Second match: The CLUB PURSB of 25 sovereigns, for cutters, yawls, and sloops, not exceeding 12 tons; time race, one minute per ton; entrance fee for non- members 15s; time of starting two hours before high water; course from the starting- vessel off the Town Quay, down the river, round the Melampus frigate moored off Netiey Hospital, leaving it on the starboard hand then round the starting- vessel, leaving it on the port hand three times round. The following were the entries for this un fortun& te match :— YACHT. TONS. OWNEB. QUIVER 12 T. Chamberlayne, Esq CON JUAN 16 W. Cooper, Esq Pis 7 Capt Wigsell MAZEPPA 12 C. Bromley, Esq The Quiver not having returned from London could not partici- pate in the match ; and it appeared that the Mazeppa was very indifferent about taking part iu the contest, and only started tr make a match. At 12: 30 the three little craft were started shortly afterwards the Mazeppa gave iu, leaving the match t< the Don Juan and Pip. Thus the two little pets proceeded accompanied by some other of the Mosquito fleet, and staggered onward as if for death or glory. Don Juan took the lead, and kept it, rounding the Melampus about four minutes in advance of the Pip, and when on their return, about half a mile from the frigate, the ballast of the Pip, which was trimmed to windward, by some means fell to leeward, and the vessel immediately capsized and sunk. Don Juan, observing the disaster, gallantly hove about, and bore up to render assistance to the struggling crew. Fortunately other boats were in the vicinity of the accident, and proceeded to the rescue. The Zeuxo, W. Fox, Esq, coming up, succeeded in rescuing two of the crcw, and a boat from the man- of- war picked up another man, but the fourth man ( James Jurd, of Itchen Ferry) went down in the yacht. He had, it appears, gone into the cuddy at the moment for something, and was drowned. The Don Juan afterwards sailed over the remainder of the course, and the prize was awarded to her. This melancholy accident caused gloom and sensation over the neighbourhood immediately o the intelligence reaching Southampton. On Sunday the body was picked up by Ben Parker. Jurd was an industrious young man, and the support of a widowed mother. His father was drowned in the neighbourhood about ten years ago. We have been assured that the bereaved mother will ba cared for Captain Wigzell. There were some minor amusements during the afternoon but there was a general gloom owing to the accident whicli marred all the pleasure of the day, verifying the seaman's adage, that " Friday is an unlucky day." in the evening the regatta ball took place at the club house, and was well patronised by the members and elite of the neighbourhood. SATUB, DAY.— First prize for her Majesty's Cup, value 100 guineas, for yachts of any rig or tonnage belonging to members of the R. S. Y. C. Ackers's scale. Second prize, for £ 16, for boats ( not yachts) belonging to tke port of Southampton not exceeding 22 feet keel, to be decided as follows :— First boat £ 6, second £ 4, third £ 3, fourth £ 2, and fifth £ 1; time race; one minute per foot. First match for her MAJESTY's CUP, for which there were ten entries, but owing to the stiff breeze and squally appearance of the weather the " small fry," viz, Quiver, Thought, Mazeppa, and Emmet, were withdrawn, leaving the following yachts * contest for the honour of obtaining the regal gift:— YACIIT. RIG. TONS. OWNEB, ARROW Cutter 102 T. Chamberlayne, Esq WILDFIRE Schooner.. 57.... J. Turner Turner, Esq VESTAL Schooner.. 74.... F. O. Marshall, Esq CYCLONE Cutter 41.... W.

Sir Percy Shelley, Bart Course from toe starting vessel round the Calshot Light vessel leaving it on the starboard hand, thence round a flag- boat sta- tioned off Yarmouth, thence passing Cowes to the eastward round the East Buoy of the Stourbridge, leaving it on the port hand, and passing inside the Calshot Light vessel, thence to the goal. There was a strong breeze from W. N. W. to N. W. about eaual to that of the day previous, and considerable excitement- was manifested, The old Arrow appeared to be the favourite, but it was generally imagined that it would be impossible oii such a course with the prevailing wind to allow her formidable antagonist, the Mosquito, 21min 20sec! To, show, therefore, the fallacy of such a scale as applicable to the present enlight- ened age of yacht buildiDg, we give the time she had to allow to each of her pigmy competitors:— Arrow to allow Mosquito 21min lOsec; to Wildfire, 57 ton schooner, classed as a 35 ton cutter, 31rain 45secs; Vestal, 74 ton schooner, as 39 ton cutter, 28tnin. Mosquito to allow Wildfire lOmin 25sec, and to Vestal 7mio 25sec— Vestal to allow Wildfire only 3min. With such a discrepancy between the two leading cutters, Arrow and Mos- quito, the one being more than double the tonnage of the other, as also between those cutters and the schooners, the idea of the favourite being the victor by time was preposterous. Every- thing being in readiness the starting- gun was fired at 10: 25, and got away in the following order, Wildfire taking the lead, closely pursued by Arrow; then followed Vestal, Cyclone, and Mos- quito, iver, and in the neighbourhood of Calshot we fell in with the Ar- j but Dark Blue and Scarlet soon showed that they were the best i together to the Tower, when Red went in advanoe, followed by i • I J „ A. l mu„ FLINWI TINR] NNNUNFL i WINN onrl NOOOQ^ RIYNQN • imftri trhi^ K T. itrHf.

The whole of them had passed the Calshot Light vessel, and were turning to the westward to the northward of the Brambles, and working down to the westward, keeping as near as prudent to the shore in Standsore Bay. At 11: 40, Arrow on the starboard tack, Mosquito, Vestal, Wild- fire, on the opposite tack; Cyclone last. The sight was exciting, particularly between the Arrow and Mosquito, each making tack for tack, and holding well together, the Arrow maintaining her lead by about a quarter of a mil) dead to wiudward; Vestal and Wildfire keeping also together. On reaching off shore Wildfire went about, and weathered the Vestal. The remainder of the flood was against them. Tha Cyclone did not appear to have any chance from the respectable station she kept, and sub- sequently in the West Channel she carried away her main halliard hook, which brought the strain upon the lashing, whioh then also gave way, and widened the distance between iter aud the other yachts. There being no steamer to accompany them down the West Channel, our only alternative was patiently to await their return through Cowes. In this we were not disap- pointed, and certainly it was a pretty sight as the yachts passed ihrough the roadstead under a crowd of canvas, Mosquito with her huge ballooner and gaff topsail apparently having as much canvas set as would make a suit for all the Arrow's put together; Wildfire, with her larga square sail, and the Vestal with her stay- sail, In this manner they passed Cowes:— h. m. | h.

With the fair wind they proceeded to the eastward in similar order, and on nearing the Stourbridge buoy they severally took the precaution to make all snug pre- vious to rounding it, which was effected by jibing round in the following order and time :— H. m. s.

They now hauled tlieir wind, and laid their course for South- ampton on the port tack, aud, without anything worthy of re- mark, they severally readied the goal as follows :— H. M. 8. I H. M. S. I H.

While the above interesting match was proceeded with, the second match was started. PBIZE of £ 15, for boats ( not yachts), belonging to the port of Southampton, not exceeding 22 feet keel; first boat £ 6, second £ 4, third £ 3, fourth £ 2, fifth £ 1; time race, one minute per foot allowed; and the following started for the same :— Centipede, T. Paskins, 21 feet; Arrow, W. Diaper, 21ft; Neverflinch, T. Gibbins, 21fS; Vampire, B. Parker, 20ft; Glance. H. Parker, 20ft. The Glance was sailed by Mr Hatcher, her builder, and the other boats by their respective owners. These little craft, which we have frequently had occasion to notice, were again competitors, and excited considerable inte- rest for their relative good qualities. At 12: 30 they wore started on the usual course for the " small fry," wind and weather the same as in the grand match. Neverflinch took the lead and kept it uutil the third round, when she was passed by the Centi- pede just before rounding the Melampus, and eventually won iy limin ; each of them winning by time and a few seconds to spare. During the interval of the yachts being away the patience of the spectators was rewarded with minor amusements, such as a four- oared boat race, which was won by the Frolic, beating Venus and Volante in the order named, duck hunting, & o. Thus ended the Southern Regatta, the best that has been wit- nessed for years. We are informed, with reference to this club, that everything is going on favourably. On Monday about 26 members and visitors sat down to the annual dinner, which was presided over by the Earl of Cardigan the noble Commodore of the club. His lordship left South' ampton on Tuesday for Cowes, and at his departure the broad pennant was saluted by the club house battery. men, and passed Green ; upon which Tjight Blue challenged Tricolour, Piuk being third. Won by two length*.— Second Green, and, after a good raoe, passed them opposite Wandsworth I heat: Charles Rose, Upper Horselydown ( blue), l; Richard corner. Scarlet led the way till close by Battersea Bridge, when ' Babington, St George's- stairs ( yellow), 0; John Oiman, Lower Dark Blue pub on a mo3t extraordinary spurt, and passed Scarlet under the bridge, winning by under three feet. Light Blue was about two lengths behind at the finish, and Green about four. This race for the cups was the best contested one that has ever taken place at Westminster. E0YAL THAMES NATIONAL KE& ATTA. The entries for the liberal prizes offered by the committee at this great aquatic/<?£ e have exceeded the most sauguine anti- cipations of the management, and ought to produce some of the most splendid racing ever seen. No fewer than six crews will compete for the Champion Prize of £ 100, including repre- sentatives from the three great seats of watermen's rowing— London, Manchester, and Newcastle. The amateur eutries, being less numerous than had been expected, the committee have resolved to condense the sport into two days— Wednesday and Thursday— the Champion Four- oar Race taking place on Wednesday. We are glad to observe that the London Rowing Club have found antagonists for the Clifford Challenge Cup iu the Clydesdale Club at Glasgow— who deserve great credit for their pluck and enthusiasm in travelling so great a distance to compete with rivals so formidable. In order to guard as far as possible against the probability of fouling, the committee have resolved that the four - oar races shall be rowed through the middle arch of Hammersmith Bridge, and that any boat going through the small, or Surrey side arch, will be distanced. The Lord Mayor has kindly consented to honour the regatta with liis presence in the Thames Navigation Committee's magnificent barge, the Maria Wood. The following are the entries :— FOUR- OAK CHAMPION KACB; open to the world; £ 100. Shakespbbh Cbew— 1 Ault, 2 Wood, 3 Winshlp, 4 Bruce. Wandsworth Crew— 1 Peters, 2 A. Salter, 3 Richardson, 4 S.

The stewards of this regatta, which is fixed for August 28th have published their programme, from which it will be seen that plenty of inducement is offered to yacht owners to contend. The first prize will be a purse of £ 40, for yachts of any rig, not less than 40 tons o. m., bona fide the property of gentlemen. The second prize will be a purse of £ 30, for cutters of 25 tons and under 40; the third prize will be a purse of £ 20, for cutters under 25 tons ; besides which there will be prizes for yachts, gigs, and boats, for the Torquay fishing boats, pleasure boats, & c. The day is also very conveniently chosen with reference to other fixtures, Teignmouth Regatta being August 24, and the Royal Western Regatta at Plymouth August 26th. IEISH MODEL YACHT CLUB.

It was a capital race throughout. JUNIOR UNITED ROWING CLUB.— This club who, since their establishment have had several races, came out again last Satur- day, three of their members and another late member rowing a double scullers race from Putney Bridge to Battersea Bridge. The competitors were Messrs T. Baker ( Junior United Rowing Club) and E. G. Hartley ( West London Rowing Club), versus Messrs E. Nash, jun, ana W. Barret ( both of the J. U. R. C.) Mr H. T. Heath, hon sec of the Junior United Rowing Club, having been unanimously chosen umpire, the parties got off well together, and rowed a fine race for 2- 00 yards ; Messrs Baker and Hartley then drew a slight lead, and both pairs continued rowing at a first- rate pace for another 100 yards, when un- fortunately Mr Nash lost his scull, owing to the roughness of the water, aad Messrs Baker and Hartley rowed till near Salter's before Mr Nash recovered his scull. Himself and partner then considerably lessened the distance, and the leading pair arrived at Battersea Bridge as every one thought the winners, but instead of going through the bridge, tbey seemed to have laboured under the delusion that they were to go into it, and Messrs Nash and Barret not sharing in the same delusion, shot the bridge before the others were clear of it, and won the raoe. The club ssem determined to lose no time, as three crews are already drawn for a four- oared race for gold oars and rudder, which we subjoin :— Red: Messrs Heath, Tenneil, Searle, Houseman, H. Howard ( cox). White : Messrs Johnson, W. L. Smith, Heathfield, Gauntlet, S. deVere, Spenser ( cox). Blue: Messrs B. Howard, Thompson, Minchiu, Cook- son, T. Nash ( cox). The race takes place on Aug 11, from Putney to Chelsea Suspension Bridge, as seven p. m. BANKSIDE REGATTA.— The 39th annual regatta, at Bank- side, was a well- contestf d affair, and took place on Morxdav, being under the patronage of the inhabitants of the Clink Liberty and vicinity. Bankside was in its holiday attire on the occasion, and a very large number of people assem- bled to see this aud the race which was going on at about the same time on the other side.— First heat: John Ardley aud about a boat s length, The Endora afterwards won a smaller tankard, sailed for by the losing boats. Eight wherries then competed for an electro- plated tankard, and the prize was car- ried off by Mr Warner, 0f Martham. WENTZELL'S ANSC VL REGATTA.—- Mr Wentzell's annual re-*" gatta, for some very excellent silver prizes, took place on Monday last; and although, as usual, attractive, could hardly be said to possess the same amoivut of interest as heretofore, owing to thai unlsoked- for absence of some of the competitors. There were four heats— First heat: J. Jones and F. Millar ( white) 1, Bennay and Goble ( black) 2. Second heat: Blincko and Tutti; ( piuk) 1, Richardson aud Wilson ( green and white) 2. Third heat: Bowden and Mining ( red, white, and blue) 1, Walker and Sut- cliffe ( white and red) 2. Final heat: Walker aud Sutcliffe 1. Bowden and Mining 0, Blincko and Tattle 0. STEPHEN WRIGHT of Norwich will row Hamerton ( Messen « ger's apprentice) a home and home match, for £ 40 a side each match, to row in a month or six weeks, the Norwich match to be rowed from Surlingham Brick Kilns to Wittingnam Ferry ( the same course as Wright and Ciasper rowed over), and tho London one over the champion course, from Putney Bridge to Mortlake, to toss for choice whioh match is to come off first. If £ 10 for each be sent to us it will b? immediately covered, and if articles are sent to S. Wright, at Norwich, they will be signed and returned. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB.— The next monthly meeting of the club will be held at the Trafalgar Hotel, Greenwich, on Monday ( to- morrow) evening, when the following gentlemen will be balloted for :— Rev Edward G.

Robinson. 7, New Bank- buildings ; James Virtue, Fiasbury- square; S. Vincent Jervis, Surbiton. HARRY CLASPEB AND HI'S CREW,— As we know that soma little doubt has existed about the possibility of Harry Clasper getting southwards in sufficient time for the national regatta, we have great pleasure in announcing that the crew arrived safe and sound on Friday last at the Feathers Tavern, Wandsworth, which they have so long made their abiding place when in town. We believe they have not beeu able to get much practice together; but they will not be the less welcome for that! TBNBY REGATTA takes place on the 21st instant. Prizes of £ 50, £ 20, £ 10, aud £ 7 are already offered. Now, as the end of August is about the middle of the Tenby season, the regatta will fall in an unusually gay week. Why do not the inhabitants exert themselves to make Tenby a yachting station for South Wales, as from its position in regard to the South of England, on the one hand, and Ireland and North Wales on the other, it is so well calculated to be ? CANNON AND RICE.— George Rica of Limehouse Hole and Thomas Cannon of Wapping are matched to row from North Woolwich to Limehouse Hole, for £ 25 a side, in two of Mr Ralph's old- fashioned boats, on the 22d September. £ 1 a side is staked in the hands of Mr Jamson, Campden Head, Church- lane, Linaehouse, and thay are to meet at Mr Andrews's, the Charles Johnson ( pink) 1, Philip Martin aud Henry Harris j Globe, Wapping, on Thursday night next, to make a further de- ( green) 2, John Nevill and William Terry ( white) O. The dis- j posit and draw up articles. FF RACE BETWEEN WEIGHT AND Our readers who are admirers of aquatic sports must recollect the contest which took place between these young aspirants a few months ago at Norwich, which resulted in the defeat of Clasper. On that occasion it was considered by Clasper's friends that a want of intimate knowledge of the river, where frequent aud sharp curves require a look eut, was the cause of his defeat, not a superiority in Wright's rowing powers. In this belief, nego- tiations were entered into for a return match, to come off on the river Tyne; and it was upon that river, which skirts his native town, and upon which from his boyhood he has been accustomed to row, he was expected to retrieve those laurels which had been wrested from him on the river Yare. The ra « e was fixed to come off on Friday eveuing week, from tho High Level Bridge to Scotswood Suspension Bridge, for £ 40 a side. The weather for a few days previous to the race was unpropitious for suoh an event, in consequence of a strong wind blowing from the west. Great fears were at one time entertained as to whether the race would take place on the day namod. On the morning of the race, however, the wind lowered, and towards the time for starting it became quite a calm. The betting for weeks* prior to the event was in favour of Wright; but during the stormy state of the weather speculation changed, owing to a re- port that Wright was nervous and afraid to row in rough water; and, consequently, a considerable amount of money was bet at evens,' At the start, however, considerable excitement and specu- lation'existed among the admirers of Wright, who had come from Norwich to witness the contest; atad so confident were they of the process of their man, that £ 25 to £ 20, £ 50 to £ 40, and £ 100 to £ 8( 7 were offered frequently. Takers not wanting. A few moments before six o'clock the steamers chartered for the occa- sion left the various quays and took up their position on the south side of the river, and precisely at six the men iu their smalltiny crafts" pulled towards the starting point amidst the cheers of their frieuds and the numerous crowds which lined the banks of the river, the High Level Bridge, and other places of emiuence in the neighbourhood of the race. When the com- petitors took up their position under tho bridge the greatest disparity in the size aud strength of the men was at once percep- tible ; and it was the general opinion that Wright's superior strength would eventually pull him off victorious. Wright doffed the whole of his clothing and preferred to row in nature's covering, while his opponent wore a clean white guernsey. Both appeared anxious for a " go off," and after a little delay a capital start was effected, Wright getting the first dash of the sculls, which caused his boat's nose to show in advance. In the next half- dozen strokes, however, Clasper came up aud succeeded in gaining jiearly half a length, which advantage he kept until op- posite the Bottle House Quay, where Wright quickened his strolce, and before they had reached Skinnersburn he was nearly level with his opponent. Here a beautiful and most exciting race ensued, indeed as fine a race as ever was seen, whether for speed or style. At the top of the new Quay Wright was clear, and putting on extra steam went about two lengths in advance. Opposite the Meadows House Clasper put oh a spurt, and con- siderably lessened the distance between them. Here Clasper's pulling was the themo of admiration, and began to revive the drooping spirits of his friends, while the steady pulling and prowess exhibited by his competitor strengthened the conviction that he would eventually prove the winner. At this point Wright? made a more vigorous dash with his sculls, and gradually pulling away from his opponent, won a most exciting" race by about four lengths. The competitors pulled in new- boats built for the occasion; Wright's by Jewett of Dunstort, and Clasper's by Harry Clasper. The race was one of the quickest that ever took place on the Tyne, the distance - being performed in 21min 28sec. We are informed that another match has been entered into between Wright and Clasper, thb former giving his opponent 25 yards Start, to row ever the Championship Course on the river Thames, on the 11th of August^ £ 5 is deposited, and the remainder is to be made good previous to the race. The articles and money to be sent to tho Editor of Bell's Life. Wright desires us to express his gratitude for the great kindness he received on all hands at Newcastle. . AQUATICS AT WESTMINSTER.;^ On Thursday, July 16, the Silver Rudder was rowed for in gigs The course was from Vauxhall to Hungerford. Five boats started. The crews were :— Russell ( bow), Chepmell ( stroke), Yates ( cox); Poole ( bow), Tomlinson ( stroke), Bonner ( cox); Maurice ( bow), Lowther ( stroke), Balfour ( cox); Murdoch ( bow), Dowdeswell ( stroke), Monch ( cox) ; Parker ( bow), Cockerell ( stroke), Jackson ( cox). All the boats got off well together, and kept close to the leading boat down to Lambeth Palace, where Chepaiell got clear away from the others, and kept on increasing his distance, and finally won by six lengths, with Tomlinson a good second, and Lowther and Dowdeswell third and fourth. On Wednesday, July 22, the Junior Sculls were rowed for. Four competitors entered :— 1, S. French ; 2, A. G. Harington ; 3, L. Shadwell, and 4, H. Townshend. The course was from Bat- tersea to Vauxhall, aud after an even start French and Har- rington drew away from the other two. and had a good race to Chelsea New Bridge, where French put on a hard spurt, and gradually drew away from him, coming in winner by about eight lengths, with Harrington second. Shadwell and Townsend were a long way astern, but had a very good race for third, whioh Shadwell at last obtained. On Friday, July 17, a Pair- oared Gig Race took place amongst the under- elections, for pewters. The following crews came to the scratch :— 1 Marshall, 2 Upperton, Harrison ( cox) 1 ; 1 Henderson, 2 Cope, Worsley ( cox) 2 ; 1 Onslow, 2 Chapman, Salwey ( cox) 3 ; 1 Wright, 2 Pratt, Stanhope ( cox) 4. The course was from Vauxhall to Battersea. Upperton took the lead and kept it throughout, winning by several lengths. A good race ensued for second place. The boats came in in the above order. On Tuesday, July 7th, the Four- oar Cups were rowed for, the course being the usual one, from Putney to Battersea. There were four boats in each heat, the crews in the first heat were :— Scarlet: 1 A. Cope, 2 T. Hawkshaw, 3 H. Chapman, 4 H. L. Thompson, E. Morland ( cox). White : 1 F. Belli, 2 T. Tom- linson, S A. C. Onslow, 4 A. Walker, R. Worsley ( cox). Dark Blue : 1 H„ Pratt, 2 A. Wright, 3 W. Henty, 4 S. French, R. Balfour ( cox). Black and Red : 1G. Upperton. 2 N, Madan, 3 W. Cockerell, 4 W. V. Williams, H. Salwey ( cox). At starting, Black and Red took a decided lead, with White second; Blue, who broke a stretcher, dropped several lengths astern, but they soon got into the tide and gained rapidly on the other boats. A splendid neck and neck race now ensued, and Black and Red, although they did everything in their power, were passed by Scarlet and Blue, after leading the way for more than a mile. Scarlet now began to show ahead, and kept the lead to the end, beating Blue by one length. Black and Red had a good race for third with White, and ultimately succeeded in obtaining it.— The second heat was rowed on Thursday, the 9th. The crews were :— Green : 1 H. Townsend, 2 L. Goodeve, 3 E. Whitaker, 4 T. Waters, A, Carslake ( cox). Pink: 1 C. Henderson, 2 C. Williams, 3 A.' llugbes, 4 E. O. Berens, H. Harison ( cox). Light Blue : 1 C. Poole, 2 C. Barnes. 3. W. Dowdeswell, 4 R. A. Eden, G, Williams ( cox). Green and Red: 1T. Chepmell, 2 W. Tom- linson, 3 T. Wheeler, 4 A. Hamersley, T. Gaskell ( cox). C. Goolden, Esq, O. W.. officiated as umpire, and effected a very even start. At first Green and Red drew slightly in advance, but Green picked them up ; Blue and Pink now had a splendid oar and oar race as far as the Distilleries, but Pink dropped astern a little, leaving Green and Blue to contend for the first place, who had a hard race as far as the Old Swan, where Blue's coxswain lost a rudder line, by which Green gained half a length. Blue again picked them up, and the two boats passed under Battersea Bridge at nearly the same time ; but the umpire gave the decision in favour of Green, only wianing by a foot. Pink was third, and Green and Red fourth. This was one of the closest races every rowed ou this course by the Westminsters.— On Friday, the 10th, the grand heat took place between the two , ... first boats in each of the former heats— Dark Blue, Scarlet, With soma trifling alteratiosjs they proceeded down the ' Light Blue, and Green. At starting Green drew slightly ahead, LEANDEE CLUB. On Tuesday, the 21st, the Leaader Club mustered strongly, despite the unfavourable state of the weather, for the purpose of presenting a piece of plate to their oldest rowing member and present secretary, Patrick Colquhoun, L. L. D., as a testimony of the esteem borne to him by the club for his services to the rowing world in general, and of their personal and individual affection earned as well by the constant energy and regard for the success of the club, as by the warm- hearted interest he has always taken in its individual members as a friend. The testimonial, a massive silver ewer, of the purest clas- sical design of ancient Greek art, and of exquisite workman- ship, reflects the very highest credit on the taste of Mr Boore, of 54, Strand, from whose establishment it was obtained. It was presented, in the name of the club, by W. Davis, Esq, who, in a short speech, but much to the purpose, referred briefly to Dr Colquhoun's aquatic labours and triumphs at Westminster and Cambridge, afterwards as winner aud holder of the Wing- field sculls— in those days the insignia of the championship of the Thames; but, especially, as a member and secretary of the Leander Club, iu which latter capacity his services had, through adversity and prosperity, kept the club so well together, and that with an amount of urbanity aud kindliness of feeling which few persons could have combined with the strict and cartful discharge of the difficult and sometimes unpleasant duties falling ou the secretary. He concluded by calling on all present to drink Dr Colquhoun's health. This having been done in the most hearty manner, Dr Colquhoua, in returning thanks, said, " That much as he valued their good feeling and regard as testi- fied in the substantial shape of the cup presented to him by the yj club, he should have been as fully convinced of it had it come ^ . before him in a less costly testimonial, and that even now he CLASPEE. ( could scarcely lay claim to the merits attributed to him, for, acknowledging that he had taken an interest, and a lively one, in the Leander Club, it had been from the reason that rowing had always been a delight to him, and that nowhere had he been able to enjoy his favourite pursuit coupled with such agreeable society as had always met him in the ranks of the Leauder, and that his motive was a somewhat interested one in keeping up its ancient prestige, as he was proud to be told to- day he had done. The sociability of the club was one of its main elements, and had done more than he could towards keeping it united; its holding out in adversity was a proof that other men were as ardent lovers of rowing as himself, and looking round on such members as Julius aud others of later date then present, he could not doubt of that long prosperity attending the Leander which he and all its members wished it. In returning his warmest thanks he was bound to contribute his meed of gratitude to Mr Julius, his ancient tutor in sculling, and reminded the club of an instance of the cool bravery of a former secretary, Mr T. Harrison, who rowing stroke on the occasion of the eight being swamped, and being asked for his oar by the coxswain ( who could not swim) to keep him afloat, handed it at once to him, remarking, " no more can I." Whilst such men rowed, there was no fear for the success of any club they belonged to. Aud with a warm eulogium upon such distinguished members as Messrs Bumpsted, Fellowes, Jenkins, and others, whom he yet hoped to see rowing again with the Leander, the hon secretary, who spoke under the influence of deep feeling, concluded his speech. After which the healths of " The retired members," " The honorary members," and " The strangers," were drunk, and after a most harmonious evening the club rowed back to Westminster. LEANDEK Y WESTMINSTER.— 1The annual eight oared race be- tween the Leander Club and the Westmonasterians took place on Monday last, when the good rowing of the young gentlemen of St Peter's quite took their opponents by surprise, the more especially as the Leanders considered themselves as rather stronger than usual. The following are the names of the crews ^ West- minster 1: Messrs A. Walker, A. Hammersley, H. L. Thompson W. Henley, E. O. Berens, W. V. Williams, B. A. Eden, T. Waters' E. Morland ( cox). Leander 0 : Messrs Pryor, Layton, Julius' Bovil, Willoughby, Smith, W. Davis, J. C. Davis, Goolden ( cox)' The distance rowed was from Westminster to Putney, the actual start taking place off Searle's upper yard instead of at the bridge as formerly, where a fair start cannot now be obtained on ac- count of the piles and coffer dams of the new works. The day was unfavourable to rowing, on account of the strong wind, which it was considered would be an advantage to the heavy weights, but at the word " off" Westminster dashed away at once with a steady pace and style, and in half a dozen strokes were nearly their length clear. They con- tinued to increase this lead all the way to Wandsworth, where the water was smoother, and here the Leanders began to come up with them, but their distance ahead was so great that the race could not be considered in danger, and Westminster passed through Putney Bridge the winners by seven boats' lengths. The Leanders entertained their youthful opponents afterwards at the Star and Garter. LONDON SOWING CLUB. The four- oared race of this club, announced about a fortnight since, took place on Thursday last, and the vast assemblage of boats, and lai^ e gathering of well- known river faces, strongly reminded us of old times, and afforded one of the best proofs how much the London Rowing Club has done to restore life and animation to the drooping prospects of the river. On this occa- sion six four- oars came to the starting- place, and the following were their positions, beginning at the Surrey side:— Yellow: Messrs Caswell, Potter, Escombe, Ireland, and Taylor ( cox).— Red: Messrs Holman, Turner, T. C. Mowens, Shearman, and Edie ( cox).— Black: Messrs Edkins, Wray, Nottidge, Sarle, and Tidbury ( cox).— White: Messrs Salomons, Nickell, Freeman, M'Gedy, and Casamajor ( cox).— Green: Messrs Randall, Lee, Virtue, Schlotel, and Stanley ( cox).— Blue: Messrs Hunt, Bal- four, Addison, L. U. Mowens, and H. H. Playford ( cox). The race was accompanied by two London Rowing Club eights, one of which bore Mr F. Playford, as umpire, who had, as it might be supposed with so many beats, a great deal of trouble to get them away. It was a fine start, White having a slight lead, all clustered well up together. Directly after the start, the stroke of Blue, who were the favourites, slipped his oar out, and, ere he had taken a dozen strokes more, encountered a repetition of the mishap. Black off Messrs Searles' got a little pull out, and Blue were last. White, fairly now astern of Black, fouled them slightly, by putting his bow upon the other's rudder; but no unpleasantry occurred respecting it, and the leading boat kept its place. All went round the corner well; Yellow with the last place; Blue at the time beginning to thread their way through their opponents into a leading position, challenging one after another until they got within twenty yards of the leading boat, and it was not until the last few lengths that the victory of Black could be deemed anything like certain. They won by a length, Blue, the second boat, being nearly clear of Green at coming in. The clu afterwards dined at their rooms, where Mr F. Playford presided and presented the prizes. SERPENTINE SUBS EIPTION CUP.— From the boisterous sur- face of the Thames on Monday we turn to the quiet waters of the Serpentine River, Hyde Park, where nothing was wanting to please the lover of model yacht sailing. Mr Kerridge, who acts as treasurer, got up this race, which has now taken place during three or four successive years, and Mr T. H. Williams, Vice- Commodore of the London Model Yacht Club, kindly undertook the office of umpire. The wind was S. S. W., very squally at times, the distance being from the south to the north shore and back.— First heat: In this heat there were to have been four starters, viz, the Anne, lugger, Mr Kerridge; the Mosquito, lugger, Mr R. Richardson; the Isabel, sliding gunter, Mr Colvin, and the Quiver, lugger, Mr Somers, but the prowess of tho Anne frightened away the others, and they did not make their appearance, and the Anne started, but went out of bounds, so that this heat had no winner.— Second heat: Three Williams, lugger, Messrs Turner and Temple, 1; Emily, lugger, Mr Hunt, 0; Sylph, lugger, Mr J. Harrison, 0; America, schooner, Mr Measor, 0. The latter, formed after tho model of the Yankee, who did so much at first in our waters, did not follow the example of her namesake. Three Williams won easily. Sylph was first over on the north shore, but was too near the wind.— Third heat: Waterwitch, cut- ter, Mr J. Little 1; Fenella, schooner, Mr Thomas, 0 ; Extravaganza, lugger, MrE. Taylor, 0; Epaminondas, schooner, Mr Sinclair 0. All went out of bounds but the Waterwitch, who won by forty yards. It was a close race for half the distance.— Fourth or loser's heat: Anne, lugger, Mr G. J. Kenridge, 1; Fenella, schooner, Mr Thomas, 0; Sylph, lugger, Mr J. Harrison, 0; Epaminondas, schooner, Mr Sinclair, 0. Anne and Fenella were almost abreast all the way, the former winning by ten yards, the others a long way astern.— Fifth or loser's heat: Extrava- ganza, lugger, Mr E. Taylor, 1; Emily, lugger, Mr H. Hunt, 0; America, schooner, Mr J. Measor, 0. The first two were to- gether all the way, and had a slight foul, when the winner went away; the Emily, coming back, got too near the wind.— Final heat: Three Williams 1, Waterwitch 0, Extravaganza 0, Anne 0. All went out of bounds but the Three Williams; the Anne was first all the way, but was ten yards out of bounds; Waterwitch 40 yards ahead of the Extravaganza, ST JOHN'S, HORSELYDOWN, REGATTA.— The twenty- ninth annual regatta at Horselydown, for free boat, value £ 24, and money prizes, subscribed by Sir CharlesNapier and John Locke, Esq, the members for Southwark ; and also by the influential residents, took place July 30, under the efficient management of William Blackwell, again assisted by Mr Kempton, of the Tailors* Arms, Shad Thames. The race, which was in five heats, with six pair of sculls, was very good, and attracted a vast num- ber of spectators. The following were the results :— first heat: Joseph James, St George's- stairs ( red), 1; Charles Blackwell, Lower Horselydown ( tricolour), 0; Henry Hipkins, Upper Horselydown ( pink), 0. The distance was from Battle Bridge buoy round East- lane tier twice each heat. Tbey were all close tan. ee was from London Bridge, up round Messrs Smith and Sons' Road, down round the buoy of the Phoenix Coal Wharf, up again round the said road, and back to Bank End. Pink went in advance, and, maintaining their lead throughout, won bv two lengths, closely pressed by White for a quarter of a mile, aud afterwards by Green, who left White 12 boats' lengths astern- Second heat: William Hunter and William Cawt ( blus) 1, Alfred Harris and George Harris ( red) 2, James Weed and James Raw- lings ( yellow) 0. Distance as before. This heat was similar to the last, Blue t aking the lead and keeping it throughout, winning by two lengths. They were pressed by Yellow for about 700 yards, when Red became second.— Final heat: William Hunter aud William Cawt ( blue) 1, John Ardley and Charles Johnson ( pink) 2, Philip Martin and Henry Harris ( green) 3, Alfred Harris and George Harris ( red) 4. The distance was reversed in this heat; they were all close together throughout the race. Blue took the lead and kept it, winning by two or three lengths. They were followed to Blackfriars by Green, who kept them to their work, when Pink passed Green, and they came in as above, with two or three lengths between them. John Moore aud Harris, sen, were the managers, and conducted everything ex- tremely well, and prizes were given to all the boats, £ 25 being distributed amongst them. CITY OF LONDON ANNUAL REGATT A.— This regatta, under the patronage of W. A. Rose, Esq, Alderman, came off on Monday last, and attracted a great number of spectators. It was a pair- oared race, in three heats, for a purse of sovereigns and other prizes, each waterman taking a landsman, and was well managed by Mr B. Oxlade. with the following results.— First heat: W. Matthews and R. Holloway ( yellow) 1, G. Matthews and T. Bent- ley ( red) 2, W. Norman and T. Clarke ( white) 0. The distance in this heat and the next was from Queenhithe, up round a boat moored off Temple Gardens, and back again toQueenhitha, twice round, finishing at Paul's Wharf. Yellow aud White took the lead, and were even to Blackfriars, when White took the lead, but not rounding at the proper place, were disqualified. Yellow being the winner by three lengths.— Second heat: T. Bennett and T. Sheen ( blue) 1, W. Bennett and W. Muggeridge ( green) 2, B. Wheeler and G. Ferguson ( pink) 0. Won easily; Pink were second till 200 yards from the finish, when becoming swamped, Green took their place.— Grand heat: Matthews and R, Hollo- way ( yellow) 1, G. Matthews and T. Bentley ( red) 2, W. Bennett arid W. Muggeridge ( green) 3. It seems that owing to the num- ber of regattas on Monday, no more than four boats could be got, and Blue having left their boat for a few minutes, White took it, determined ( although disqualified) to row in the graud heat. No remonstrances of the manager ( Oxlade) oould prevail with them, and Blue were thus debarred from rowing in the heat. ST MARGAHET'S AND ST JOHN'S ( WESTMINSTER) REGATTA. — This regatta, principally confined to the watermen plying at Vauxhall Bridge, took plaoe on Monday, and attracted a great number of people. It was in three heats, for prizes subscribed by the inhabitants of the parishes of St Margaret's and St John's.— First heat: T. Coombes. jun, and W. W. Dolwin ( green) 1, T. Rush and T. Davis ( blue) 2, H. Handley and W. Cunis ( red) 0. The distance was from the Horseferry up to a boat moored off Messrs Smith's distillery, Thames Bank, down, round a boat at the Houses of Parliament, aud up, finishing at the Horseferry. It was a close race all the way. Green eventually winning by two or three lengths; Blue and Red also made a good raoe of it.— Second heat: T. Coombes, sen, and G. Sinclair ( yellow) 1, D. Davis and T. Goodrum ( pink) 2, G. Shaw and James Coombes ( white) 0. Distance as before. It was not so good a race as the previous one. Yellow, going away with the lead, kept it, winning? by three or four lengths. White were tailed.— Final heat: T. Rush and T. Davis ( blue) 1, T. Coombes and G. Sinclair ( yellow) 2, T. Coombes, jun, aud W. W. Doiwin ( green) 3, D. Davis and T. Goodrum ( pink) 4. The distance was reversed. It was a capital race throughout. They were all together to the Horseferry, when the winner drew ahead, but the second pair stuck to them for the next quarter of a mile ; the second and third pairs then rowed an excellent close race all the way. Won by three lengths; same distance between second and third. ' ROTHERHITHE REGATTA, — This old- established five- heat wager, for a new free boat and sundry other good prizes, subscribed by the inhabitants of St Mary's, Rotherhithe, took place on Monday, and was witnessed by a large num- ber of spectators. It was a scullers race, and was well con- tested, the men having all their work to do to go over a six mile course, extending frem the Surrey Canal buoy to the Commercial Dock buoy, twice round.— First heat: Targett ( white) 1, Spenser ( yellow) 0, Snow ( pink) 0. White rowed right away, but there was a good race between Yellow and Pink.— Second heat: Baggot ( red) 1, Brown ( light blue) 0, Thorndike ( stripes) 0. This heat was similar to the last, Red retaining the lead throughout.— Third beat, four worst men: Brown ( light blue) 1, Snow ( pink) 2, Thorndike ( stripes) 0, Spenser ( yellow) 0. Light Blue won by several lengths. Snow maintaining a good race with him nearly all the wav.— Fourth heat, four best men: Baggott ( red) 1, Brown( light blue) 2, Targett ( white) 0, Snow ( pink) 0. White throughout the race had been backed as the winner of the boat, Red being set down as nowhere; he, however, went away with the lead, having a good race all the way with Light Blue. White and Pink also made a spin of it, but were a long way astern of the others.— Final heat, the two best men: Baggott ( red) 1, Brown ( light blue) 2. Light Blue rowed very gallantly, but was over matched, his opponent being an easy winner. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN POCOCK AND CHILDS.— This race, for £ 30 a side, came off on Tuesday last, over the usual below bridge course. The men started about 5 p. m. from North Wool- wich, very evenly, when Pocock soon drew his boat clear, though on account of the swell, he was obliged to proceed with some caution, for he was rowing in an outrigger, while his opponent Childs, in an old fashioned boat, was enabled to plough away without interruption, in his wake. After getting above Charlton Childs got out more into the tide way, whilst Pocock made for the Middlesex shore, where there was less tide, but water more suitable for his frailer bark. This brought Childs nearly level with him; on crossing the water at Blackwall Pocock left his galley, took his own course, and gradually began to leave Childs in the rear, who, though rowing very pluckily. was evidently somewhat beaten. Off Greenwich he fouled a skiff with his scull, but from the distance he was then behind, we do not think it tended materially to injure his chance. At the finish Pocock came in about 50 yards ahead. Pocock rowed in one of Salter's boats, and Childs in a first rate " old fashioned " boat, built for the purpose by Messrs Searle, perhaps one of the fastest of the kind ever turned out. R. Coombes, ex- ChampioB of the Thames, acted as referee. The money is to be given to the winner on Monday ( to- morrow) evening, at Mr Smith's, Old Spread Eagle, Church Stairs, Rotherhithe. WATERMEN'S APPRENTICES'SCULLERS RACE.— A very capital scullers race took place on Saturday between Edward Eager of Chelsea and Richard Groves of Wandsworth, who had hitherto been unknown to fame, but there is no doubt the winner will no longer be so, as it is said he did his first mile in five minutes. Both men had been in active training, Eager having been at F. Styles's, Isleworth, in the hands of William Blake, the well- known waterman of Chelsea, who brought him out in excellent condition, and who also was both his umpire and pilot. Groves had been at the Feathers, Wandsworth, principally under the care of Stephen Salter, and the veteran John Phelps performed the offioe of umpire and pilot te him, Mr T. Day of Wandsworth acting as referee. They left Putney Bridge at a desperate pace, and rowed almost scull and scull for half a mile. Eager then drew slightly in advance, but Groves stuck to him, and his op- ponent was hardly more than clear at the Crab Tree. Here Eager drew two lengths clear, and his plucky antagonist rowed a good race with him to near Chiswick Eyot, where Eager drew more in advance and arrived at Barnes Bridge four lengths in advance. WOOLWICH FREE WATERMEN'S ANNUAL REGATTA.— A new boat and sundry other prizes will be rowed for by six free water- men ef the town, on Monday, August 24th. First heat: Thos. Crout ( yellow), Edward Mills ( dark blue), Benjamin Surtees ( red). — Second heat: Robert Carrier ( pink), George Ilering ( light blue), Edward Phillips ( green).— Third heat: Will be the second and third men in from each division.— Fourth heat: The two first men of the first and second heat will row the first and second men of the third heat.— Fifth heat: The two first men of the fourth heat will row for the boat.

After the boat is won the watermen will be towed past the town successively as they won their prizes. GREENWICH ANNUAL REGATTA.— An enormous number of people assembled to witness this regatta, but only two heats were rowed; in the second, Blackmore, Everson, aud another started. The latter two, not long since, had a race iu a now kind of boat, which does not displace more water than the outrigger, and in this regatta they rowed in the same boats, which were swamped, the other man winning the heat. The four losers were then to row the third heat, when these two men refused to change their boats. The other two refused to row against them in their heavy boats. Blackmore then gave in, but Ever- son would not row in any other boat but the one he had. The manager, W. Thomas, who has filled that office twenty years, for three hours endeavoured to effect an amicable arrangement, and at length gave it up as hopeless. An SAINTS, POPLAR, AND BLACKWALL REGATTA.— This regatta will take place on Monday, August 3d, when a new boat ard sundry other prizes will be rowed for by six free watermen of Blackwall.— First heat: J. Jeffries ( light blue), W. Gold- smith ( green), J. Boswell ( pink).— Second heat: C. Atkin* ( yel- low), Ei Atkins ( dark blue), R. Cory ( red).— Third heat: Will be the second and third men in from each division,— Fourth heat: The two first men of the first and second heats will row with the first and second men of the third heat.— Fifth heat: The two first men of the fourth heat will row for the boat. The boats to start from Blackwall Stairs precissly at ten o'clock, and go twice round each heat. The race to extend from tho Folly House to the East India Dock Buoy. BARTON TURF REGATTA.— The annual Barton Turf Regatta took place a day or two since on the Broad. The first prize— a handsome silver cup— was competed for by Mr Trafford's Esme- ralda, Mr Cooke's Endora, and Mr Morton's Fairy Queen. The contest was principally between the Fairy Queen and the Endora ; tho former shortened sail during a little squall, aud the latter obtained the prize. The losing boats then contended for a second prize ( a smaller cup), and the Esmeralda proved the victor. A pair of silver- mounted drinking horns were then com- peted for in a punt match, the competitors being Mr Salmon, of Stalham, and the Rev N. Micklethwaite, of Hickiing. The latter gentleman was successful. A rowing match for watermen closed the day. HICKLING REGATTA.— At this regatta— which has come off within the last few days— Mr Morton's Fairy Queen, Mr Cooke's Eudora, and Mr Trafford's Esmeralda competed for the first prize— a handsome silver tankard. The Endora maintained the lead till the third round had nearly closed, but just before she T. MAY AND J. BARGE v H. COLLINS AND PRICE.— This pair- oared match, for £ 5 a side, carae off on Monday last. The competitors are employed on the Bedford estate, the distance being from Battersea Bridge to Westminster.

EACKETS,— EXTRAORDINARY MATCHES AT THE BELVI- DERE COURT.— The great fete of the season came off on Monday last, for Bull's benefit. The great attraction of the day was the re- appearance of the ex- champion ( Mr John Mitchell) upon the scene of his former prowess. At no period of his life did that gentleman exceed his extraordinary performances of Monday last. It was evident that the championship had merely been resigned by him owing to private circumstances, and that no man living would have been able to wrest it from bim. On the previous week he had, both at Bath and Bristol, played the celebrated Patrick Divett ( Lord Eglinton's marker), who came over from Scotland for the purpose, but was unable to win a single game. Mr Mitchell's partner on Monday last was Mr Hill, whose play wag remarkably fine. Their first contest was with Messrs Morris andPittman, whom they beat in three games successively. They then engaged the Brothers Erwooa, who were unable to wiu more than one game out of six. The last match oi interest was between G. Erwood and Bull against Boucher and E. Great wood. The match was won by the latter, but, it is fair to add, that the result was mainly influenced by Erwood being quite out of condition for play. The return match will take place at Boucher's benefit, to- morrow ( Monday), at the White Bear, Kennington. G. Boucher, racket master, of the White Bear, Kennington, will take his anninl benefit at the above house, to- morrow ( Monday), when all the most celebrated players of the day will attend, both amateur and professional, the principal feature of the day being the return match between G. Erwoo< l and C. Bull against E. Great wood and G. Boucher. To commence at three o'clock.— G. Boucher is open to play any man in the world, the best of five games, taking £ 20 to £ 10. PIGEON FLYING.— A sweepstakes was flown for from Hebdeu Bridge station to Halifax, seven subscribers, on Satur- day, July 25, distance eight miles, and the result was as follov MrWilcock's dun cock first, 6min50sec; Mr Brassey's Har^ away second, 7rein; Mr Tasker's Lord Raglan third, 7min 25se"": Mr Kay's red Antwerp fourth, 8min 40sec; Mr Halstead's blue cock fifth, 9min lOsec; Mr Carver's blue chequered sixth, 9miu 25sec; Mr Denton's Flatcatcher seventh, lOrain. John Spurr ofBatley is surprised at John Toulson challenging him to fly a match from Leeds, when he has told him frequently that he is satisfied with his late defeat, but if Toulson really wants to fly be will fly him a match from Harrowgate, with the same birds, for his own sura and at his own time; or he has another bird that he will match against either Toulson or J. Burnley of Batley, from Marsden, for the'r own sum. A match can be made at J. W. Hall's, Nurr and Spell Inn, Batley. Enoch Sim of Kidsgrove, Staffordshire, will back his white- tailed cock Danger to fly against any other fancier's bird in Staf- fordshire Potteries, from Manchester or Liverpool, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side; to come off iu a fortnight from the first deposit.

AECHEEY— FETE AT WARRINGTON PARK, NEAR LAUN- CESTON.— On Wednesday last their graces the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland entertained the members of the Tamar Archery Society at Warrington Park. The targets were pitched on the long flat between the pond and the river, and at about three o'clock a numerous party of archers stationed themselves there. Their movements were eagerly watched by a number of the aristocracy, who had arrived from the neighbouring towns. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland kindly presented two prizea to the heads of the respective scores, which were won as follow s:— Ladies': Gold and torquoise bracelet, won by Miss Townend. Gentleman's: Gold pencil- case, won by Mr R. H. Arundell. The band of the 2d Cornwall Rifles were present and performed some beautiful music.

GALLANT CONTEST BETWEEN JESSE HATTON AND GEORGE BASER OF CHATHAM, BAKER STAKING THIRTY- FIVE TO THIRTY POUNDS. To the Fancy the above named heroes must be familiarly known, as they have long been associated with the stirring doings of the P. R. In point of scientific qualifications neither has attained any notable position; but, notwithstanding this, a good mill was fully expected, and we are glad to have it iu our power to state that these expectations were fully realised. This was the second time the men had fought in the P. R., Hatton in the first battle having to succumb to the champion of Chat- ham. This induced Baker to stake the odds of £ 35 to £ 30. Prior to the contest on Tuesday, Hatton has figured six times in the Ring, viz, with Dick Ellis of Somers Town, by whom he was defeated; with Jack Keefe, to whom he had also the misfortune to strike his " flag;" with Dick Ellis again, when Hatton received the stakes; with the renowned Bob Travers, by whom he was licked; with George Baker, where he again suffered defeat; and with Campbell, whom he van- quished. He was born in 1833. Baker was born at Chatham in 1829, and consequently is twenty- eight years of age. His first match was with Dan Collins, on the 36th of August, 1851, which ended in a draw. George again met Dan on the 11th of November, 1851, at Long Reach, for £ 25 a side, when Baker was placed hors de combat. His next battle was with Joe Winn, for £ 25 a side, which terminated in a draw. He was then matched with Patsy Daley, for £ 25 a side, but the passage of arms did not take place, as Daley, in consequence of being over weight, had to forfeit. Master George was now pitted against Crockett, by whom he was defeated in the most artistic style, the battle only lasting seven rounds, and 11 minutes. Baker now got a match on, for £ 25 a side, with Bob Travers, which he lost. Next came his match with Hatton, whom he met and defeated on the 17th of June, 1856, at Ardleigh. Por this contest the com- batants wore confined to 16st 4.1b, and on Monday they went through the ceremony of weighing, Baker going to scale at Chatham, and Hatton at Jemmy Shaw's domicile. George, who was trained by Dan Collins, had been got in first- rate fettle, and pulled down the beam at 9st 131b, while Hatton was not more than a pound under the stipulated mark. The morning of Tuesday was any thing but tempting, for the rain came down in torrents, and this, no doubt, had the effect of causing many to keep back who otherwise would have been found by the ring- side. As, however, the day advanced, the threatening elements wore a more cheering aspect, and by the time the combatants and their friends had arrived on the Held of battle the weather overhead was all that could bo wished. Pred Oliver, in the ab- sence of the tough old commissary, superintended the arrange- ments of the ring, and Baker was the first to enter, closely fol- lowed by Hatton, who had for his seconds Jack Hicksand Bob Travers" Baker was waited upon by Dan Collins and the accom- plished Jemmy Welsh, and in betting he was the favourite at 6 to 4, although no great amount of the needful was speculated. THE PIGHT. Round 1. The admirable condition of Baker was the subject of eulogistic remark. Hatton, who is much the bigger made man, also looked well, although not so completely up to the mark as his antagonist. On putting themselves in position, tooth men stood well, and lost no time opening the ball. Baker tried to deliver the left on the mug, but was not within distance. In a second attempt George piauted the left on the body, when Jesse immediately countered. In a close, the men fibbed away with the greatest rapidity, and in the fall Hatton was the first to salute Mother Earth. 2. Both men eager to be at it. As Hatton followed his antagonist they got together, when, after a little manoeu- vring, Jesje let fly with both mawleys, but did not suc- ceed in planting full on his opponent's dial. In a rally they fought with much more spirit and pluck than science to the ropes, when they closed, Baker being under in the fall. No sooner had the combatants bean taken to their corners than there was raised the unwelcome cry of " police," and sure enough the " blues" were to be seen making with all speed to the ring side. The referee ordered the combatants to renew the contest at another spot, which was reached with the utmost ex- pedition by all parties, and when the ring had been for the second time got in readiness, the men entered, and commenced 3. Both cautious, but, after some little dodging, Baker let fly with the left, doing however no execution, as Jesse was not within reach. After shifting their positions and getting near the ropes, Baker dashed out both mawleys, and got well home on the phiz. In the counter- hitting Hatton administered the left well on the top part of the brain canister, and then in breaking ground slipped and fell, laughing. 4. Hatton got well on with the left and right, and broke away from his adversary's returns. After a brief pause they again went to work, when Jesse, in getting away, slipped and went down. 5. Baker with the loft administered a stinger on Hatton's mouth, when Jesse on the instant dashed at his antagonist. In a sharp rally they both fought at the head, Hatton with the right missing a stinger, and at the ropes he wont down, having received another left- hander from his antagonist. 6. Hatton, on coming from his corner, immediately went to work, getting home the left with considerable effect on the top I—— of the nob. He followed this up with a lunge from the right, but was too far round to be effective. Baker in the counter- hitting got on with telling force, the left being well planted on the cheek and mouth ; as he retreated Jesse followed impetu- ously, when they closed, and, after some sharp fibbing, Baker went down, Hatton fallieg on him. 7. Sharp exchanges, both doing execution with the left on the dial, and then broke ground. After a pause they again got within distance, when Jesse lunged out with both mawleys, and got heavily on the nob, the right apparently being delivered with great force. Jesse tried to close, and fought well, until Baker terminated the round by going down near his own corner. 8. In a rally they got home with good effect; Hatton agaia with a lunge planted the right on the side of the cranium, bitting, however, partly open handed. Baker, after these exchanges, shifted his position, and as Jesse followed administered a couple of rattling shots from the left and right on the knowledge- box, when Hatton slipped and went down. 9. Hatton, on coming up, was bleeding from a cut on the cheek, therefore first blood was claimed for Baker. After some slight exchanges they closed, when Hatton had all the worst of a back fall, but on being picked up was taken to his corner with a smiling countenance. 10. The men went at it with the most determined resolution. The hitting on both sides was of a very telling description, and ill a struggle for the fall both fell. 11. Hatton went to his man and forced the fighting, hitting out with the left and right with great force. Baker, equally willing, fought gamely with his opponent, the exchanges being well delivered. In a rally, they fought till Jesse, in the middle of the ring, slipped and went down on one knee. Baker imme- diately went up to his antagonist, but as ha was about to hit he stepped back and walked away. 12. After some heavy exchanges, they closed, when, in a sharp struggle, both went down, George under. 13. The men rattled to work. Baker, in taking the initiative, hit short with the left, but in a second attempt he delivered a pretty spank on Jesse's mouth ; Hatton followed, as his man retreated out of distance, and, in a sharp rally got well home with both lEawleys. At the ropes the men closed, when in the fall Baker was under. 14. Hatton administered a slashing hit on the side of the nut with the right, but napped it on the cheek from George's left. They fought in give and take style to the ropes, when both went to grass. 15. Hatton, with the utmost impetuosity, came rushing at his man, when Baker retreated to the ropes, and fell completely through them, Hatton going right over him. 16. Jesse again came rushing at his antagonist, and after some sharp exchanges Baker was forced OH the ropes, and fell, Hatton going completely over him out of the ring. 17. This was another well- fought and spirited round. The combatants went at it in ding- dong style ; Hatton, with the left, planted a teazer on the side of his antagonist's head, and fol- lowed up with a dose of pepper from the right. Baker, with unflinching gameness, stood and exchanged with his man, the hitting being of a very effective description, In a bustling rally they got to the centre of the ring and closed, when both went down. 18. Hatton, in dashing out the left, planted a slashing hit on the head, and then attempted to administer a regular " Darby Kelly" with the right, but missed his man by a close shave. Baker returned with both hands with good effect, until they closed, when the Chatham hero was down in the fall. 19. Baker led off with the left, but out of distance, when Jesse countered with a stinger on the nob. After some two- handed fighting they closed, when Jesse, after getting on the ropes, broke from his antagonist and went down. 20. Baker tried it on with the left, but was not up to the mark. A pause, when Jesse in a wild impetuous manner dashed at his man, and got the right well on the side of the pimple. In the exchanges they got to the ropes, and both went down. 21. Hatton came up to force the fighting, and in dashing out got the left and right well on the knowledge- box. Baker in the counter- hitting gave his opponent one or two tell- tales, and then closed, Jesse having all the best of the fall. 22. Well meant, though badly delivered exchanges, when in the struggle George was thrown a clean back fall. 23. Baker acting under the advice of liis " counsel" made the attack, and delivered well on the os frontis. Jesse, as his opponent broke from him, forced the fighting, and after some sharp exchanges with both mawleys he went down. 24. No sooner had the combatants met than they closed, and went down together harmlessly. 25. In a spirited rally the men fought with both hands, Hat- ton, however, again, when making any frequent use of the right, hitting partly open- handed, and in consequence of this his blows had not half the amount of " powder" in them they appeared . to have. In a close the men fibbed away gallantly until both were down. 26. Jesse in leading administered some toothpowder with the left, and as Baker appeared to be a little abroad was enabled to follow this up with a chopping hit from the right; as George retreated Hatton came smashing at him, but nailed it heavily on the dial in the exchanges, and in the fall both went down near the ropes. 27. Rattling exchanges, slightly in favour of George, who administered the left in splendid style, and on closing at the ropes both went down, amidst the cheers of their partisans. 28. After some spirited two- handed fighting, the men closed, when Jesse, in attempting to throw his mas, caught him in the most unfair manner, though not, we think, intentionally by the legs, and in this way they went down. A slight appeal was made on the part of Baker, and the referee immediately crossed the ring, and warned Hatton not to repeat the act. 29. Jesse home a regular sloucher on the nose, and Baker down, with something very much like a knock down blow. The fighting now all in favour of Hatton, whose friends were brim- ful of confidence, and cheered their man enthusiastically. 30. Hatton went to his man to force the fighting, but in the exchanges Baker got home heavily on the head, and in the close had slightly the best of the fall. We have iu the above account gone suffieieatly into details to give our readers an impartial description of the contest. We may, therefore, be brief in summing up the remaining rounds, amounting to 23, which were contested in the most spirited manner, each man fighting to the best of his ability. Hatton may be said to have had all the best of the fighting, yet still the advantage was nothing near so striking ?. s we have before seen it. Ultimately Hatton was hailed the winner, by having knocked his opponent out of time by a flush hit from the right on the nasal prominence, in the 53d round— the contest from first to last having lasted lh 25min. Hatton fought much better than he did on any preceding occasion, but still we think if he does not want to be shorn too soon of his uewly- won laurels, he will be cautious with whom he makes a match. Baker, though he fought unquestionably better than on any former occasion, did not display sufficient improvement to justify his aspiring to a higher position than he at present holds. He fought with the utmost gameness, and is in all respects entitled to the kind con- sideration of his friends, by whom it is to be hoped that, al- though a loser, he will not fail to be rewarded in a suitable way. The money is to be given to Hatton at George Brown's, Bell, Red Lion Market, on Wednesday night. A gentleman will be at Mr Burgess's, Five Bella, Rochester, on Thursday next, prepared to back George Baker, at 10s* j * O fight Jesse Hatton the conquering match, for £ 50 a side. hear that many of Baker's friends are so satisfied with his P ® 1 • formaace that they have agreed to pay for his colours. SLASHING CONTEST BETWEEN DANIEL LIDDELL OF BIR- MINGHAM AND BOB WEBB, FOR £ 10 A SIDE.— Immediately after the above passage of arms had been brought to a c'ose, these men entered the lists to contend, at catch weight, Wept), who, we should think, weighed full lOst 71b, being much the heavier man. We will not now stop to inquire into the ante- cedents of the combatants, but briefly state Liddell was waited on by Jemmy Welsh and Bob Travers, while Jack Hicks and Bob Caunt ( brother to the ex- champion, Ben) did the polite for Webb. This was undoubtedly one of the gamest and most resolute battles ever witnessed, and it was indeed a thousand Eities that such a genuine display of scienee and manhood com- ined should be missed by the Corinthian patrons of the art, any one of whom would have travelled hundreds of miles for the gratification ef seeing such a " stunning box." Each fresh round was but a repetition of the one preceding it— hit for hit, thwack for thwack ; now at the head, again at body, sledge- hammer- like exchanges; counter- hitting with lightning ra- pidity ; stopping with professor- like skill; no retreating, no flinching ; root to foot, front to front; no dodgery, no contemp- tible trickery ; each move counter- checked with a skill ana knowledge of the art truly surprising from men so little known to Fame. Never have we seen such excitement displayed by the spectators as on the present occasion. During the progress o. the contest many fluctuating changes occurred, but at length the second of Liddell gave in for him, and wisely, as he hacl had been heavily thrown in the last three rounds. Iu tae whole fifty- seven rounds were fought, occupying one hour and forty- live minutes, and never did either a winner or a loser leave the arena with a better or more honourable name. YOUNG STAMP OF NORWICH AND GEORGE GAYTON.— On Tuesday last a merry mill, for £ 5 aside, between the above men, came off in the presence of a strong muster of the sporting fra- ternity of that city. Stamp is a novice, while Gayton has suc- cessfully contested with several good men. On entering the ring Stamp was attended by Jem Mace and Cock Blyth, and Gayton by George Smith and Seely. 3 to 2 was freely offered on Gayton, although Stamp was the taller and heavier by 8lb. Gayton, however, iu the early part of the fight, administered severe punishment to his man ( who displayed great coolness and Judgment for a novioe); but after fighting 1 hour and 20 minutes with the greatest gameness, was obliged to succumb to his more youthful opponent, and Stamp was hailed the wianer.— A second fight for a purse in the same riag took place between Jointer Brookes and Bulmar, which was won by the latter, after a good fight, iu 45 minutes. FIGHTS FOR TUESDAY NEXT. BOB BEETTLE AND JOB COBLEY. £ 100 A SIDE— The final deposit of £ 20 a side for this exciting match was made at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's- laue, on Tuesday last.

The whereabouts. has been mutually arranged between Caunt and Harry Orme, and may be ascertained at the Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane ; the Jane Shore, Shoreditch; AlecKeene's, Three Tuns, Moor- street, Soho; Jemmv Massey's, Crown, Cranbourn- passage ; Bob Bret- tie's, White Lion, Digbeth; and other sporting houses.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP. TOM SAYERS TO HARRY BROOME.— Mr Editor: In answer to Broome's challenge, I beg leave to say that I have had quite rest enough, and shall be most happy to make a match with Broome or any other man iu the world, for from £ 200 to £ 500 a side ; but unless a deposit is left at your office it will be use- less to notice challenges. First come first served.— P. S. I take this opportunity of thanking my Nottingham friends for their kindness towards me during my short stay. I have been pro- mised by several gentlemen in Nottingham, should there be a subscription for Tom Paddock, they will willingly subscribe. Yours, & c, TOM SAYEBS, Bush Hotel, Carlisle. Sayers, in another letter, expresses his anxiety to know what Caunt's intentions are, as he has had no reply to his former letter. Harry Broome called on us, on Friday, to assure us that his novice is not himself— he adheres to his resolution not to re- enter the P. R. His novice is a fine young fellow, who has never fought in the Ring, and he will be with him at our office onWed- nesday next, between twelve and one, prepared to stake any amount Sayers may require to bind the match. PETER CRAWLEY AND JEM WARD. MR EDITOR : " A pupil of Crawley's 30 years since" has taken some trouble to put you right in reference to my contest with my old friend and gallant competitor, Peter ; probably Peter and I could place the matter in the true light batter than any one else. The fact was, that I received a blow in the second round which would in modern slang be termed a stunner. The hit in fact deprived me of my usual vigilance for the rest of the fight, though it is well known it did not interfere with my courage. It was a slashing fight, and for the greater part of it the man that first went down would have lost it. I will say no more, for at our time of life it would be miserable indeed for Peter and me to differ about laurels contended for 30 years back.— JAMES WARD, King's Arms, Whitechapel- road. PARKINSON AND M'NULTY.— The final deposit of £ 3 a side for this match, it appears, was made at Mr Williams's, Leopard Inn, Great Bridge, and was taken away by Parkinson's backers to for- ward to Btil's Life, which they did not do according to arti- cles. E. Giles, the referee, waited upon Parkinson's backers, on Wednesday, but they refused to como to any terms, or fight again for the stakes down; M'Nulty therefore thiuks he is duly entitled to the stakes. It is impossible for us to settle this matter. Parkinson's backer ought certainly to send us the £ 6, and agree to a day and place of fighting. CAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM.— A further deposit of £ 10 a side for this extraordinary match was made at Alec Keene's, Three Tuns, Moor- street, Soho, on Wednesday evening, in the presence of a large number of Alec's friends and patrons.

NAT LANGHAM'S BENEFIT,— AS the battle day draws near on which the rival champions will have to strip to their work, the match between Caunt and Laagham grows in importance and in- terest; and, independently of the natural amount of curiosity which attaches to any warlike proceeding on the part of the renowned Nat Langhatn, the fact that he intends before his encounter to take a grand benefit, at which all the celebrities of the Ring will do their best to afford a faithful demonstration of respect to the man, as well as to the noble art of British boxing, will revive in the minds of the Fancy many a pleasing reminiscence of the old Fives Court.

SATURDAY, J PIT 25.— THE GREAT EXHIBITION HANDI- CAP.— NOW that Manchester has become soattractive to strangers, many of the most illustrious in rank having of late visited the city rendered so notorious for its cotton manufacture, princely warehouses, and ponderous- machinery— and, still more so at the present time, for its unparalleled and magnificent collection ef treasures of art, it excites little surprise that, even from huge omnibuses down to children's perambulators, most articles are, in Manchester, now dignified by the name of that palace which bears the motto, " A thing of beauty is a joy for ever." In order, therefore, to keep pace with the march of intellect and improve- ment, Mr Thos. Hayes, the owner of the above grounds, deter- mined that he would not be in the rear- rank, well knowing that whilst the taste of the merchant adhered to the palace, the feel- ing of the pedestrian clung to the course— and consequently he announced for competition THE GEEAT EXHIBITION HANDICAP.— The prescribed dis- tance in this handicap was 600 yards, or one lap round the course, the first prize being £ 30, second £ 5, third £ 2, and the original entry presented a goodly array of names, out of which 21 pedes- trians accepted, and about 1,500 persons were present. The heavy rain which fell during the preceding day, and continued almost without intermission until this forenoon, caused some persons interested in the event, residing at a distance, to enter- tain fears that the ground would be very unfavourable for the sport; whilst those who frequently visit the course were well aware, owing to the elevated position of the land upon which races of long distances are decided, and the excellent drainage of the straight run in, that there was no cause for alarm on this score. Sceptics, however, did not loug remain in doubt, lor before noon the atmosphere cleared, and the subsequent portion of the day was very fine. Mr Hayes filled the office of referee, and the sport came off as follows, the first heat being fixed for half- past four o'clock:— Lot 1: W. A. Beswick of Glossop 61 yards start, 1; B. Badger of Wolverhampton 39, 2; E. Jervish of Sadaleworth, 60, 3. Betting: 2 to 1 on Beswick, who won by 4 yards.— Lot 2: R. Medley of Colne ( 50 yards) 1; J. Brummitt of Lepton ( 43 yards) 2; T. Cooper of Malton ( 50 yards) 3. Betting: 5 to 4 each against Brummitt and Medley, and 3 to 1 against Cooper. Brummitt won by 6 yards.— Lot 3: G. Darley of Salford ( 23 yards) 1; J. Trainor ef Liverpool ( 37 yards) 2; J. Kevitt of Barnsley ( 56 yards) 0; J. Nolan of Manchester ( 48 yards) 0. Betting: 2 and S to 1 on Darley, who won easily,— Lot 4: J. Smith of Hulme ( 42 yards) 1: W. Warris of Openshaw ( 65 yards) 2; G. Barber of Glossop ( 30 yards) 3. Betting: 2 to 1 on Smith, who won by 8 yards.— Lot 5 : J. Whitehead of Butler Green ( 55 yards) 1; J. Lyons of Salford ( 41 yards) 2 ; G. Green of Cerlton ( 48 yards) 3. Betting : 2 and 3 to 1 on Green, and 4 to 1 against the winner. Whitehead won by four yards, and with this contest the day's sport concluded. MONDAY.— There was again a numerous attendance of visitors, upwards of 1,000 being present, and speculation upon the result of the deciding heat was exceedingly brisk, the betting at start being 5 to 4 against Medley, 6 to 4 against Whitehead, 3 to 1 against Beswick, and 10 to 1 each against Smith and Darley. After the first 300 yards had been traversed, the race appeared to lie with Medley, Whitehead, and Beewick, who alternately changed places. Shortly afterwards Medley got three yards in advance. Whitehead lying second, and Bes- wick third ; but here Smith ( who was then eight yards in the rear of the first three) began to improve his position, Darley being beaten, and giving up at the 400 yards mark. Smith passed Beswick, and an excellent contest ensued. When within a dosen paces of home, Medley was only a breast in advance of Whitehead, but, half turning his head to look at his formidable opponent, he made a false step, and had great difficulty in keeping his equilibrium. This contretemps enabled Whitehead to get in front, and to win the handicap by nearly three yards, Medley defeating Smith for second place by a yard; Beswick was beaten off altogether. The winner had been trained by John Seville of Oldham; Fish of Royton had prepared Medley : and Smith, Beswick, and Darley had been under the care of J. Fitton ( alias Jack O'Dicks) of Royton. BLEAKLBY AND CEOPPBE.— This was a spin of one mile, for £ 5 each, between M. Bleakley and J. Cropper ( both of Besses- o'- the- Barn), the latter having 20 yards start. The betting was 6 to 4 on Cropper, who was never approached, and won by 50 yards. ECKEESAIL AND OWEN.— S. Eckersall and H. Owen next contested a quarter of a mile for a small stake, Owen winning easily. ! SHARP AND SANDERSON.— G. Sharp of Portsmouth, near Rochdale, and J. Sanderson ( alias Treaclo) of Whitworth have now deposited £ 10 each with Mr Hayes, for their match to run two miles for £ 25 a side, at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Man- chester, on the 15th inst.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS AKERS AND BIDDLE. — These well- known Birmingham men and old opponets met at Aston Cross Grounds on Monday to run their six- sccre yards match for £ 5 a side, Akers giving four yards start. The match was hastily got up, aud considering the short traimHg, the men appeared at scratch at one o'clock in pretty good condition. The betting stood at 2 and 3 to 1 on Akers. After several attempts the men got away at a rattling pace, Biddle keeping the lead up to five score, when Akers passed him and ran in an easy winner by one yard. W. ELLIES AND J. DUNN.— These Birmingham novices met on Wednesday last at the St Helen's Gardens, near Birmingham, to run 440 yards for £ 5 a side. They were well matched as to age, weight, and height. Elliss, however, was the favourite, and 3 to 2 was laid on him freely. After dodging at scratch for twenty minutes without effect, they got off at the first pull of a hanker- chief, Dunn with the lead, which he maintained for the first 100 yards, when Elliss took up the running, closely followed by Duns. At half distance the men were level; at 300 yards Dunn was again leading by half a yard, and his friends backed him freely at evens ( taken), and from this point he appeared to have gained fresh vigour, for he started off at a rapid pace, Elliss doing his utmost to come within reach of him, but without avail, for he gradually increased the distance between them, and ran in a winner by three yards. YOUNG HARRIS of Birmingham will run Whitehouse five score yards or Newbold eight score, or will take a yard in six score of Giles, for £ 5 a side or their own sum. Money ready at the Plasterers' Arms, Bath Passage, any night next week.

SAMUEL CROSS and JOSEPH COEKENDALE ( both of Wolver- hampton) met on Monday last a short distaaoe from home, to run an off- hand match of 190 yards, for £ 8 a side. After 10 minutes they got off, Corkendale with a yard start, but Cross was soon up with him, and at two score was leading, and gra- dually stole away, running in a winner by three yards. If Corkendale is not satisfied with his defeat, Cross will run him his own distance, but for not less than £ 5 a side. Cross will be at Mr Wilke's Liquor Vaults, Cock street, Wolverhampton, to- morrow ( Monday) night, prepared to make a match, GEORGE STOCKTON, of the Five Ways, Birmingham, will run Thomas Wilmot six score yards level, or take two yards of Hiichins in the same distanoe; or will run Ben Groves ef Hales- owen 200 yards, if he will give five yards start; or Osborne ( the Sailor Boy), Simpson, A. Smith, Rowley ( of Gosta Green), Kettleby, or Woodward, from 120 to 200 yards, for £ 5 a side. A match can be made any night next week at Mr Perks's, Royal Oak, Essington- street. On Saturday evening, the 25th ult, a one mile race, for £ 25 a side, came off at Mr Wright's, the Red Lion Hotel, Neston, Cheshire, between Thomas Wilcoxson and Julius Grenfisld; the odds wore at first 2 to 1 on Grenfield, who has proved suc- cessful in many matches, but on stripping the odds veered round in favour of his opponent. There were between two and three hundred people present, and betting was very brisk, there being at least £ 200 depending on the result. A few minutes after the time appointed both were at the post, and at the first attempt they got off, Wilcoxson taking it very coolly. Grenfield got a good lead, with which he made strong running, and was at about the first quarter of a mile 10 yards ahead, when Wilcoxsoa put on the steam andtvas alongside of him at the half- mile; here it became evident he had his man beat, he improving the speed for tho last half- mile, and ran home a winner by 50 yards, having accomplished the distance in 4min 56sec. PEDESTRIANISM AT GAERATT- LANE, WANDSWORTH.— MARKS AND THE HAMMERSMITH SPIDER.— This spin of 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, came off on Monday last, on Mr Sadler's grounds, Wandsworth. The weather was exceedingly propitious, but the number of spectators almost infinitesimally small. At about five o'clock the antagonistic parties made their appearance on t! so ground, and immediately afterwards took up their relative positions, the Spider getting a start of six yards. After cutting about 20 minutes to waste most unnecessarily, and exceedingly to the distate of the few beholders, at about twenty- five minutes past five o'clock the parties got pretty well away together. Throughout the distance the Spider not only kept well his " point of vantage," but ran iu a winner by eight yards. As to the match being bona fide we have our doubts. MATCH AGAINST TIME.— Moore ( an amateur) from Sunder- land, but well known in sporting quarters, undertook on Mon- day ( as announced in our last) to walk six miles and three quarters within the hour, for £ 25. The ground selected was in the neighbourhood of Uxbridge. He accomplished his task in 57m 25sec.

JULY 27.— This return match was begun at Lord's on Mon. day last. Prom the publicity which the match had received many thousands were in attendance, and we are pleased to be enabled to say that the old servant of the M. C. had a com' plete " bumper." It cannot be yet known what sum he will realise, but upwards of £ 200 have been subscribed, and very nearly that amount taken at the gate, so that when the whole of the club lists are sent in, the total will amount to something • worthy of the object. Excellent wickets were prepared, and we may add, that the ground was given up to Dean for the day, by the proprietor, Mr J. H. Dark. We were pleased to notice that better arrrngements were made for the accommodation of the public ; a large refreshment marquee was erected at the top of the ground, which was well patronised at different intervals. After the bell had rung and the ground was clear, some delay took place, and on inquiring, it was ascertained that An- derson was too ill to play, having! been indisposed all the previous week; in his room the All England wanted to play E. Stephenson, the engaged player at Lord's, which was objected to by the United, E. Stephenson not being an All Eng- land man, that is, not having played regularly with them. It was thought by the United that as Anderson was so bad at Wakefield ( the days previous to the match) that arrangements should then have been made to have secured an All England man, such as Joy or Morton, who have played with them sufficiently to be recognised as such. The dispute could not be settled for a considerable time, net even until within a few minutes of the last man going in on their side, when it was arranged that Adams ( who originally played for All England) should play. Adams for this match was engaged to play for the United, as we stated in our last, in the room of Dean, but after he made his appearance in the field, he was objeeted to by All England, although at the first match it was carried unanimously by them that either Boyston or Adams might be substituted. Dean was, therefore, fetched away from the gate, and Adams put in for All England. To proceed, however, with the play, we may state, that the result of Wisden and Parr's tossing was, that All England had to go to the wickets, their representatives being Diver and A. Cross' land, to the bowling of Wisden and Caffyn. Diver was caught at the wicket; Stephenson followed, and was bowled the first ball. The first and second wicket thus fell for 8 runs. The next ( Crossland's) fell for 14. Caesar, Tinley, A. Clarke, Willsher, Jackson, and Bickley were somewhat summarily disposed- Clarke and Willsher making a good 11 and 9, when Adams, the last man, joined Par; the latter, who had played a magnificent innings of 48, was now cleverly stumped by Lockyer with one hand. Parr's figures were a five, three fours ( leg- hits, two from Caffin, and one from Wisden), six twos ( cuts, drives, and leg- hits, and singles; he was got rid of immediately after dinner, the innings terminating at four o'clock for 99. The United then began, aud when the stumps were drawn had got within 5 runs of their opponents for the loss of seven wickets. Hunt played a good innings of 13, and Lillywhite also for the same number. In Caffyn's 17 he made a beautiful drive from Jackson for 6. Caffyn and Wright caused Willsher to change ends, and Ste- phenson took the ball at Willsher's end. Stephenson's second ball sent away Wright, having been a considerable time at the wickets, for 16, made by a cut for four, and a three, two leg- hits for twos, & c. Lockyer made 19 by a five ( square leg- hit from Stephenson) two fours ( one drive from Willshire), two twos, & c. Wisden's 13 comprised a four ( drive from Willsher), two twos, and singles. Martingell played well for 11, in which was a drive from Jackson for four, & G. The innings closed at twenty- five minutes to one o'clock for 126, being 27 in a majority. Betting: 5 to 4 on the United. Caesar and Adams were sent in for the second innings of All England. Adams was caught mid- off the third ball from Wisden, Caesar was got off Caffyn, in the slip— making an innings of two threes, a two, and singles. The first wicket fell for one run and the second for 13. Crossland and Parr then got a stand, and in- creased the total to 45, when Crossland was caught mid- off, he being at the wickets a considerable time for two threes and two singles. Tinley came in to Parr, and was immediately missed— an easy catch— mid- off by Bell, before getting a run. Parr, after playing another splendid innings of 36, was sent back by a " bailer" from Oaffyn ; his figures were two leg- hits for fours from Martingell and Lillywhite. Martingell bowled terribly to the leg, which George Parr informed him of; his four threes were got by two leg- hits, a drive and a cut, three twos, splendid leg- hits, and singles; this, the fourth wicket, fell for 70. Stephenson had again to retire for a round'un, making five for 75. The sixth, Alfred Clark, was bowled by Wisden, making up a total of 107 ; he played a very fine innings of 15, comprised of two fours ( drives from the Pavilion), three twos, and a single. Bell, who had been substituted for Martingell, now bowled Tin- ley. This change should have taken place before. Tinley made several brilliant hits, one, a drive from Caffyn for six, square- leg from Wisden for three; with eight twos and singles, he made a total of 46. Diver, like Tinley, ought to have Been " nailed" In the second innings of Harrow Barclay scored ( not out) 9, Strong ( not out) I; wide balls 2- total 12. ANALYSIS OF THE BOWLING.

ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v TWENTY- TWO OF WAKEFIELD AND DISTRICT. This very interesting match was commenced on Tuesday, July 23. There was a large concourse of spectators present, amongst whom were some of the most respectable and influential families of the town and neighbourhood. The weather was fine, and the arrangements were of the best possible character. The wickets were pitched at half- past twelve precisely, the All England having won the toss, when the Twenty- two took their positions in the field. Messrs Grundy and Hunt first appeared at the wickets, and Messrs Crossland and Atkinson took the ball, when Atkinson took Hunt's wicket the first over , one wicket down for 1 run. Diver followed, when Grundy was out leg before wicket; two wickets for 2 runs. Julius Caesar then took the bat, and gave a chance to Dawson which he refused. He was eventually caught by W. Hall, after making a smart score of 10; three wickets for 12. Parr then joined Diver. The latter gentleman was bowled by Hodgson after making a smart score of 15; four wickets for 27 runs. John Lillywhite then took the bat, when Parr was bowled by Hodgson, after securing 11 runs, which in- cluded two leg- hits for 4, and three singles; five wickets for 38 runs. Bell succeeded Parr, but was unfortunately run out the first ball for 1 run; six wickets for 39 runs. Clarke then took the bat, when he and Lillywhite made a stand. However the latter after some good defensive batting had his middle stump taken by a beautiful ball from Hodgson, after adding 13 to the score; seven wickets for 52 runs. A. Mynn, Esq, then took the bat along with Clarke, when the latter was caught in first- rate style by 0. Scatherd with 12 ; eight wickets for 64 runs. Martingell then appeared at the wickets, but was bowled by Atkinson, after adding 1 run ; nine wickets for 65 runs. Jackson came last, when he was smartly caught by Capt Porritt at the slip the first ball. The old veteran Mynn had the honour of bringing out his bat. This concluded the first innings of the All England Eleven, who had secured a total of 69, in- cluding 4 byes. The bowling throughout was exceedingly good. We may state, however, that although great care and attention have been bestowed upon the ground, it was only indifferent, which accounts for the small score made by the Eleven. After a short interval Wakefield and District commenced hostilities against the bowling of Messrs Martingell and Jackson, Messrs Crossland and Dawson first appearing at the wickets. Crossland was bowled by Martingell after a short innings for 0. He was succeeded by J. Hall, when after some smart hitting, Dawson was bowled by one of Jackson's shooters. Sailer then joined Hall, but was run out the fiast ball; he was succeeded by Lan- caster, when Hall, after securing 13, was run out. Ledger then took the bat, when he was beautifully caught by Martingell at slip, after adding 3 to the score; Skelton succeeded him, when Lancaster was bowled by Jackson for 9. Prest then joined Skel- ton, but was run out for 0 ; he was followed by Parker, who played with considerable caution. Skelton shortly had his timber ^ disturbed by Lillywhite ( who had taken Martingell's place). Wadsworth came next, but was quickly disposed of by a terrific ball from Jacksou, which concluded the game for the day. On Friday the game was resumed at eleven o'clock with Parker and Brown at the wickets, Jackson and Grundy bowling with treat precision and destruction, as will be seen by the score— ackson having shivered the timbers of Messrs Wadsworth, Brown, and Barker for as many cyphers. Dawson made a nice score of 10, when he was beautifully caught by Bell, whose field- ing throughout was the theme of universal admiration and ap- Elause, Atkinson batted well,. but was unfortunately run out, aviug lieen bit by the ball,, after scoring in good style 143 his F.

LILLYWHITE'S COLLECTION OF SCOEES EEOM 1746, IN PEE' PABATION.— The compiler of this projected work would feel particularly obliged if secretaries of clubs or other gentlemen would communicate with him, iu order to assist in obtaining information relating to the game, such as the " alteration of the laws, and size of stumps, from time to time," & c, & c. The loan of score- books, or notices of any remarkable events that have occurred in the game, will also be thankfully received and imme- diately acknowledged. All communications will receive instant attention, and the compiler trusts that this appeal for the pur- pose of publishing a " complete history" of the noble game will not be in vain. Bell's Life in London, from its first number, as well as the Marylebone Club books ( by authority of the com- mittee), have been carefully searched, and many important and interesting events abstracted ; numerous other reprint and manuscript copies have also been examined, which fully prove that many otlier good matches were played years back, and he hopes the scores of them are still obtainable.

ACCIDENT TO MISS GILBEBT IN HYDE PAEK.— V/ e are re- quested to state that this accomplished professional horsewoman is not seriously injured by her horse falling over the iron rails upon her in Rotten- rosv, on Tuesday, as stated iu several of the daily papers. That she was carried into St George's Hospital insensible, and to all appearance dead, is true, but, wonderful as it must appear to those who saw the accident, she had 110 bones broken, and was only stunned. She would have been on horse- back the next day but Dr Hawkesley very prudently forbade her running this risk. The accident was so singular that we shall give further particulars of it next week. ANGLING ADIEUX- No. XI. For more than a month we have had most uufavourabl0 angling weather— sunlight and sunbearas— brightness aud burn- ing from from snnrise to sunset. All rivers, particularly moun. tain, salmon, and trout ones, have been almost as dry as old Scamander after Jove set it a boiling and evaporating by dart- ing his thunderbolts into it, for that it broke his orders and took part, by swelling its waters into an impassable flood, in the conflict between Greoks and Trojans. All through Scotland and Ireland the rivers have been for weeks so low that, though they are full, some of them at least, of salmon, the latter will not rise at a fly or take any other bait, but they lie thickly aud torpidly in the pools, opening their mouths aud shutting their eyes, and waiting for a fresh, a freshet, or a spate, and flood to enable them to dash up the shallows towards the shal- lowest of shallows, their spawning grounds. Until rain water commingles in abundance with the wee drap of clear water now left in the rivers fish will be as crop- sick as a tippler, " dead drunk at night, and quite dry in the morning," aud deprived of his ante- breakfast dram, they will be maudlin, lifeless, appetiteless, until they taste nature's mountain dew. Both Mr loung of Sutherlandshire, aud Mr Dunbar ( surnomme I'impetueux) are in town, and they tell me that though the angler is dead beat in the rivers, the net tishermau in the estua- ries is reaping an abundant harvest. In them thousands of salmon congregate, and Mr Young told me that very recently his netmen took, in two days at the mouth of Shin and below it, fifty boxes of salmon, each containing 1201b weight, of that fish. The netting for salmon has been everywhere else equally successful, and on Tuesday morning I visited Billingsgate with Mr Young, aud the supply of salmon, particularly of grilse, was very abundant indeed. Mr Young's men had sent up forty boxes, and if the salmon in them were not the best shaped in the market they were the clearest and brightest, because they were the most carefully packed and in the cleanest ice. Whilst in the market there came thunder, lightning, and rain, and I was in hope the latter would continue, but it soon cleared up, and salmon rivers will not be much the better for it. The grilse in the market, though very numerous, were, generally speaking, very small. Many of them were well shaped, but they had been ill- treated in the nets and in packing, and so their scales were in many parts gone. This gives them a seedy appearance, and turns their bright silvery coats into tarnished ones. The best grilse, to my mind, iu the market, were a few crimped ones from Christchurcb, Hants. Mr Young said in appear- ance they were so, but they were not for the table better than his. Mr Robertson, one of his salesmen, and one of ; the most intelligent men I have met with— a gentleman in manner and education— ordered breakfast at Mrs Bacon's, who keeps an excellent " public" in the market, and we discussed one of the River Shin grilse. Though it had been out of water, no doubt three or four, or may be more days, it was full of flavour, curdy, flaky, and of fine colour. It never was a hand- some fish, but clean ice kept it in fine condition, which was improved by the art of Mrs Bacon's cook. When I contemplated the big and little salares in the market, I felt much sorrow that " keeping the wolf from the door," kept me from the spot where the silver sides love to dwell. Shall I ever salmon- fish again? I have, much to my regret, refused for the present an invitation from the owner of the best sea- trout lakes in Galway to fish them. I said to myself, this weather will not do. Besides white- trout fishing, 1 wanted a touch at salmon at Ballina, and in one or two of the Limerick and Cork rivers. Blessed be the Ruler of sun, moon, and seven stars, though he has made it a bad time for the angler, he has, praised be his name, made it a good season for the husbandman. " Oh, scatter plenty o'er a smiling land!" The sportsman will forego his sport, never think of it, when he sees it sacrificed to Ceres, in her temple, a full granary. The harvest will be soon gathered. The flood- gates of heaven may then open harmlessly far a day or two. If so the salmon fisher may have a fine month's salmon fishing yet. The angling season will not end in Scotland until the 14th October ; in some parts of Ireland a fortnight, I believe, earlier. The weather must get cooler, and I hope all is not lost for the angler yet. 1 must now turn from Ashing to fish. Since my last appearance 011 the halieutic stage I have received from Quebec a very important little work— The Salmon Fisheries of the St. Lawrence and its Tributaries, by Richard Nettle. The author sent it me, and the reader may recoileet that some months back I noticed certain lectures on the decay of salmon, principally in Upper Canada, delivered by him at Montreal! The work before me dilates extensively on this decay, and points out the way to prevent it. The same agency that has depopulated the Canadian rivers has thianed those of the mother country, and the remedial measures Mr Nettle proposes are identical with those of the great salmon reformers of Great Britain, viz, the removal of all fixtures at the mouths of rivers, rendering it penal to catch fish out of season; and to prohibit, in season and out of season, spearing fish by torchlight; and to make the close time begin with September, and end with January. In Lower Canada, in 1855, an act was passed for the protection of its fisheries. It is not by any means a bad one ; aud if the Upper province could obtain one somewhat more conservative of salmon, I think the St Lawrence and its tributaries would abound, as they once did, with the salmon tribe. There are but three clauses in the act referred to :—" 1. It shall not be lawful to take or kill any salmon, maskinonge, or trout, or to buy, sell, or possess any salmon, maskinonge, or trout, taken or killed in any river, lake, or stream in Lower Canada, between the first day of October in any year, and the first day of February following." [ There is but one objection to this clause. The close- time begins too late by a month.] " 2. It shall not be lawful at any time to take or kill salmon, maskinong6, or trout, in any river, lake, or stream in Lower Canada, by means of stake nets or barrier nets, or any other self- acting machine, nor by the aid of torch- light or any other artificial light; pro- vided always, that during the months of June, July, and August in every year, the proprietors of salmon fisheries may take and kill salmon by means of nets other than stake or barrier nets, and having meshes of at least two inches in diameter each" [ This I consider an excellent clause, and protects very materially salmon. I do not know of any clause so good iu any of the British Salmon Fisheries' Acts]. " Thirdly. Every offender against any of the provisions of this act, shall for each offence incur a penalty not exceeding two pounds ten shillings cur- rency" [ The penalty is far too much limited]. The reader must bear in mind that these provisions do not extend beyond the waters of Lower Canada. What Mr Nettle wants is such an act, with extensions, for Upper Canada. The Legislature of the latter province will, I hope, assent to such an act, and benefit by so doing their fellow- subjacts. The Governor- General, Sir Edmund Head, is, it is understood, favourable to reformatory salmon legislation. A large portion of Mr Nettle's book is devoted to a description of the rivers of Upper Canada, showing what they were and what they are. Of the rivers of Gaspe and Bonaventure he writes :— " Richer than gold— more valuable than the mines of Australia and California combined— a nsver- failing source; a nation's wealth contained within the bosom of the waters that lave your shores— God's special gift to man— the treasures of the deep, re- quiring no labour to cultivate, no purchase of seed, no manure, suffering HO blight from rot or fly. Wealth unbounded coming to your shores, depositing its precious offspring in countless millions in the sands of your rivers, saying ' Let us alone for a few short weeks, and we will return and provide yourselves and your little ones with an abundance of wholesome and nutritious food, for all things are provided for your use.' But no, it shall not be ! Man, the destroyer, men— blind to his own interests- has determined to exterminate the whole of the salmon tribe, and, by net, by spear, by dams, before spawning, while spawn- ing, and after spawning, _ has hunted these noble creatures until at last but a rt mnaht of the species remains. The late Robert Christie, so many years the member for Gaspe, and by whom I have been urged to do battle on behalf of the salmon fisheries, has often told me that while he resided there he never took less than two thousand tierces in the Restigouche alone. Te use his own expresive words, ' They are richer than the dia- mond mines of the East.' He has left evidence of his opinions in the parliamentary and other reports. Bouchette, iu speaking of the same river, says, ' 2,000 to 3,000 tierces are taken ;' and he adds, ' which is a considerable diminution upon the produce of former years, attributable to the deficiency of proper regula- tions; restricting the time of fishing to certain seasons, and otherwise regulating the mode of taking salmon.' Alas ! if it were necessary so long since, to change the mode of pro- cedure in taking the fish, what must be required at this period, since, year after year, the vile practices have increased. What would that talented gentleman say, could he know that the 2,000 or 3,000 of his day, had dwindled down to 200 or 300 at the present time ? He also, with Mr Christie, has left his prote st on record. They were men to whom the province owes a deep debt of gratitude; and their opinions are worthy of being well received and attended to." Again, I find recorded in a very in- teresting work lately published, the following notice of this sec- tion of the country:—" But as the Restigouche is a famous river for fishing, a considerable revenue is derived from this business. The fish arc taken in set nets ( which should be done away with), and at every ebb tide during the summer, are conveyed to the shore in canoes, salted, and shipped to Great Britain, or, as has of late years been the case, sold on the spot to American vessels, which have visited Cambeltown for that purpose. Mr Ferguson informs me that his father was in the habit of exporting 2,000 barrels of salmon annually, but that he is quite content if he can manage to catch now 300 barrels per year." The river Resti- gouche seems to have undergone the fate of our own Tweed. Fishing too severely at their mouths, and poaching on the spawn- ing beds, and capturing kelt and baggit, have nearly ruined both rivers. We differ entirely from Mr Nettle in his idea of pisciculture. He is entirely mistaken as to the benefits reported to have been derived from it. As far as regards salmon it lias failed both in Great Britain and Ireland and in France. I believe it has suc- ceeded in increasing the number of coarse and non- migratory fish. The reports that have reached. our; Transatlantic friend are in many respects fabulous, and in others exaggerated, and one of the most so is the following:—" Mr Boswell has informed me that his brother, John Boswell, Esq, Attorney- at- Law of the city of Dublin, four years since purchased, in the Encumbered Estates Court, a barren river, or rather a fishery, or what had once been one, for the purpose of breeding and rearing of salmon; so successful was he in stocking the river, that in October last he sold his rights to a London company, and cleared nine thousand pounds sterling by the operation." Mr Nettle must have misunderstood Mr Boswell. The following are the veritable facts respecting this purchase aud profit. About the time mentioned there was for sale in the Encumbered Estates Courts, portion of the property of Mr O'Neil, once M. P. for Hull, situate near Clifden, county Galway. The waters upon it were put up separately as a fishery. Before the sale took place Mr Boswell called on Mr Ffennel, one of the Government superintendents of Irish fisheries, and asked him " If anything could be made out of the waters ?" Mr Ffennel answered, " Yes, if you subject them to proper re- gulations." The waters consisted of several small lakes, dis- charging themselves into the sea by rivulets, none of which were wide or deep enough to admit of the immigration of salmon, and hardly sufficient to carry a few white trout up into the lakes. Mr Boswell, under MrFfennel's direction, made cuttings, by means of which all the lakes became connected, aud then caused the combined waters to flow to the sea by one large channel. Ot this a salmon river was to be created. To do so, the first step after its formation was to stock it. This was effected, to at present a small extent, by bringing pairs, males and females, of adult salmon from a distance, and placing some of them in the lakes and some in the newly made channel, and also by placing impregnated salmon ova in its bed. As yet the only productive result is one grilse, caught this year with the rod. Still on the prospects of this river becoming a good salmon and sea trout river, and the lakes that feed it becoming pro- fitable fisheries, the waters, only stocked two years since, have been recently ( last autumn) purchased of Mr Boswell for the sum of £ 5,000, his purchase money and outlay in improving them amounting to at the least £ 1,200. So that Mr B.' s profit, not assuredly resulting from artificial breeding, as alleged by Mr Nettle, was as nearly as possible £ 3,800, and not nine thousand pounds. Mr Boswell following, no doubt., the advice of Mr Ffennel, stocked his river by means of live about- to- spawn salmon, and by impregnated ova, placed in boxes in the river, and not iu artificial ponds, and when the ova were hatched and the embryo salmon attained, say in about six weeks, the perfect fish shape, they were turned adrift into the river, and were not retained in artificial breeding waters for a year, and pap- fed, as it were, for the whole of that period with liver or some ether unnatural food. Mr N& ttle dreams that the breeding ponds at Outerard, county Galway, of the Messrs Ashworth, of Egerton Hall, Bolton, have abundantly suc- ceeded. What will Mr Nettle think, when I tell him that they have been abandoned as chimeras two years ago, after a thoroughly unsuccessful trial of three years ! So much for the vaunted glories ( if Outerard. Now for the Perth artificial breeding ponds, and the predictions of that stupid Dominie Sampson, Peter of the muddy pools. What have become of the half a million of impregnated ova placed, at immense expense, and immense destruction of breeding salmon, and of their milt and ova, in the Stormontfield artificial salmon ponds ?, They produced last year one', grilse ! Parturiunt monies, nascitur ridiculus mus, Translate that, Dominie ! No, don't. It is fairly translated for you by the obstetric marvels of the Stormontfield lying- in beds. I have had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Mr Buist in London about the 10th ultimo, and saw him every day for about a fortnight at the House of Commons' committee on tiie Tweed Fisheries. He is an excellent old gentleman, manager of the Stormontfield ponds, but, alas ! old age has made him adopt an impracticable hobby* and I fe* r that he has been imposed upon by sly scamps. I : told that these e< uimt. laddies catch grilse on the Tay, pe. - forate the gill cover as to make the mark resemble that of the smolta bred artificially in Mr Buist's ponds, take the fish triumphantly to the gude old man, and persuade him that they are the children of his raising. Unfortu- nately they get rewarded for this imposture/' In a very short time, pace " Peter of the Pools," his pools, ponds, and luk will be dried up, ar,, i he will have to write the very short epitaph of " fuerunt.' » in Mr Nettle's book I find, p. 22, the following passage:—" Reader, bear with me while I enumerate the rivers in this locality; while I show what in former years has been done, and what may be done; so that our rivers may yet swarm with countless myriads of the noble fish. Deem me not visionary in my computation, do not come to a hasty con- clusion; but pause and reflect, make your own observations, examine for yourself, study the best authorities, and you will find that I have based my calculations on a much lower scale than any wko have written on the subject, from Jacobi and Goldstein of the last century to Shaw, Ramsbottom,' Ephemera,' and others of the present period." I am placed here in very learned company, classed as one of them. Mr Nettle, I am obliged to you; but, strange pride, I beg to repudiate the companionship. I scareely hold a single opinion in common with the above artificial breeders, and I shrink spasmodi- cally from anything like communion with Ramsbottom, arch- murderer of the innocents. I abhor his breeding- boxes placed in artificial ponds, and filled with ova by the assassination of many a prolific pater aud mater- familias. He is gone to Spain, they say, to stock with salmou certain Iborian rivers. Oh, Bay of Biscay, what were you about ? But stop, I must not hint any more, for should your waves asphyxy him as ha returns, I may be accused of being an accessary before the fact. In conclusion, I beg to say that I never advocated Ramsbottom's method, filched from the French self- styled pisciculturists, namely, M Remy, MM Berthot and Detzin, MM Costa and Millet, and others. This artificial system will produce coarse and non- migratory fish, but never in an adult state anything like a remunerative crop of the salmo salar or salmo trutta. In 1850 I wrote, in the Book of the Salmon, a chapter on the artificial (?) breeding of salmon. There are some errors in it, but at p. 2101 lay down my principle, which I still rigidly adhere to:—" There are two ways for stocki ng rivers with sal mon, whether they be rivers in which salmou have never bred, or rivers in which they formerly bred, but in which the race is partly or totally extinct by the carelessness or mismanagement of man. The first is by con- veying to them impregnated ova, and burying them in the gravel of running water. The second method is by transferring to them parent fish of both sexes, at the time of their commencing, in their native rivers, the operation of spawning. The trans- ferred fish must ba placed in a deep pool of the new river, from which they will ascend and select appropriate spawning locali- ties." The very system I recommended more than seven years a^ o is exactly that adopted by Mr Boswell, on the advice of Mr Ffenuel, in bis Conneuiera newly made river about three years since, and which promises so well that a " London Company " purchased it for the sum of five thousand pounds. Verily, if they follow in all things Mr Ffennel's counsel, they will have their reward. » EPHEMEEA, July 30. TWEED SALMON FISHEEIES BILL.— This most important bill, which will lead to a general act based on the same principles, passed the House of Lords on Thursday, in the same state as it came up from the Commons, with the f xception that the annual " close" time is to commence ou the lst October instead of the 14th September, and on the last day of February instead of the last day of January. OTTER HUNTING IN WESTMORELAND AND CUMBERLAND. The inhabitants and visitors of Pooley Bridge, on Lake Ulls- water, were agreeably awakened at the early hour of five o'clock on Friday morning week by the heart- stirring tones a d sweet melody of a pack of otter hounds in full cry. Proceeding to the bridge the hounds were observed making their casts among the group of islands in the centre of the river, and their owner with ( in Turf parlance) red body and green cap, speeding his way through the limpid element with as great eagerness as his canine assistants in the exciting chase. The hounds were from the neighbourhood of Bishop Auckland, and had thrown off that morning at Eamowt Bridge, near Penrith, at the early hour of half- nast three o'clock. Journeying up the river they had hit off atrail at Delmain, which they followed up to the islands, and thence to Lake Ulls water, which, from its great extent, and the drains, rocks, and other fastnesses which abound in its district, afforded security to the great destroyer of the finny tribe. The master, with a select sprinkling of the right sort, now deter- mined to climb the mountainous space which divides Lake Ulls- water from the Hawes Water. This, to the tune of near eight miles, having been duly accomplished, the hounds were cast in at the foot of Lake Hawes, a beautiful expanse of water of above three miles in length, the property of the Earl of Lons- dale. After a brief interval the sharp and decisive challenge of Hopwood gave proclamation that their game was afloat, and, progressing down the river, the terror of the speckled race was found snugly laid up amongst some rocks and islands near Thornton Hall. Blucher, now being in requisition, soon ejected her from her lair, and down stream she went, accompanied by such a continuation of sweet concord as made the hills resound. Away went the hounds through the deeps to the waterfall, here they throw up their heads, and, casting back, proceeded to the deeps above, aud wending their joyous way found that their quarry has gone to rock ; again was she bolted by Nelson, but now she determined to reach the lake, in which effort she tra- versed a pretty sheet of water. Now Mitford, with lashing stern, and booming eloquence, and in his wake the impetuous choristers proslaim her onward wend; suddenly the magic stop of Hopwood gives earnest that she has headed back, and then his double oratory enlists the aid of Blucher, whose enthusiasm engages the attention of Mr Gallon, who, ever on the alert, quickly fluishes the adventures of a flti9 bitch otter by getting her by the shoulder and introducing her to the welcome of as fine a pack of vocalists as ever swam the lakes of Westmoreland. The hunt occupied two and a half hours, and the capture was effected in a most difficult part of the water, and perfectly unfit for hunting, owing to its intricate and rocky state. This is a great drawback, as it destroys the feet of the hounds, and has always prevented masters of ® tter hounds from hunting the waters in this country. A numerous party, including Captain Salmon, Messrs Richard Musgrave, of Eden Hall; T. Parker, of Carlton Hall; T. Jameson, W. Hullock, and H. Abbott, of Thornton Hall, expressed themselves delighted with the perfect steadiness aud fine hunting of the hounds, which really are u » der such excellent command as redounds much to the praise of their owner, whose efforts to afford sport are only equalled by his perseverance to effect it.— Yours, & c, PABTICIPATOB.

P.— Mr Muntz, M. P. forBirming- ham, died on Friday, at his residence, Umberslade Hall, War- wickshire, in his sixty- fourth year. His death was caused by a tumour in the bowels. HEALTH OP LONDON.— The deaths registered in the week ending July 25 were 1,209, against an average of 1,212. Of this number diarrhoea carried off 259. Typhus and common fever were fatal in 44 cases; measles in 40; whooping cough is now reduced to 37; and it is satisfactory to find that only 13 are due to scarlatina, and that not a single death from smallpox is re- turned.
