COCKLE'S COMPOUND ANT1BILIOUSPILLS have long been recognised as a most effectual remedy for indi- gestion occurring in this countrv, and experience has also fully justified their use in those continual and violent forms of bilious disorder of too frequent recurrence in hot climates, where the digestive organs, and more especially the liver, are subject to such sudden and irregular in- crease of their functions, that they often form the exciting cause of the fatal endemic fever peculiar to those climates. To Europeans, there- lore, contemplating a residence abroad, and for whose use a mild and efficient aperient i3 required, strengthening the stomach and regulating the secretion of bile, Cockle's pills are confidently recommended, having now stood the test of public opinion for nearly GO years.

COD D' R DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN LIVER OIL is now prescribed with the greatest success, in con- sequence of its marked superiority over every other variety, as the most speedy and effectual remedy for consumption, bronchitis, asthma, gout, rheumatism, general debility, and all scrofulous affections. The Lancet, in an article, highly eulogising Drde Jonah's labours, observes:— " The composition of genuine cod liver oil is not so simple as might be supposed. Dr de Jongh gives the preferences to the light brown oil over the pale oil, which contains scarcely any volatile fatty acid, a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the elements of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of cod liver oil, no doubt, pat t'. y depends. Some of the deficiencies of the pale oil are attributable to the method of its preparation, and especially to its filtration through charcoal. In the preference of the light brown over the pale oil we fully concur. We have carefully tested a specimen of Dr de Jongh's light brown cod liver oil. We find it to be genuine, and rich in iodine and the elements of bile." Dr de Jongh's Cod Liver Oil is sold only in imperial half pints, 2s 6d; pints, 4s 9d; quarts, 9s; capsuled aud labelled with his stamp and sig- nature, without which none can possibly be genuine, by most respectable chemists throughout the United Kingdom.

THE PARIS ' ASSASSINATION" FARCE, We said last week that " the Government that trusts to spies has sold itself to the arch fiend," and we repeat the axiom. We have some intention of imitating Cobbett, ai; d printing these words of simple truth as a perpetual heading to articles on such asubject. The French Government has done its beat to j ustify the axiona, and has given itself up the willing slave of the unholy compact. Certainly, if the foul fiend is the " father of lies," the statements made on the authority of spies show the completeness of their paternity. The acte d'accusation or indict- ment against the pretended conspirators in Paris has now been published, and a greater piece of absurdity was never presented to the world. " London," says this precious docunsent, " is the chosen dwelling- place of the demagogues." The real meaning ol this denunciation is that the English laws must be altered, and that unhappy political exiles must be deprived of an asylum in the only piace in Europe where they can earn their bread in peace, and be free from suffering daily and nightly vexations by the police. The denunciation can have no other mean- ing, for if the indictment is not the absurdest as well as the most mischievous and wicked document, it establishes clearly this proposition, that while " the demagogues" are in London the life of the Emperor is safe, and he is wounded only by the shafts of wit, ridicule, or reasoning— but that the moment they leave England and reach Paris his life becomes in danger. If the indictment could be taken as true, it proves that nothing but the most vague and undirected gossip took place in London, but that when the " demagogues" got into Franca active means were taken to proceed to real extremities. No one can believe the statements as to this alleged conspiracy. No jury, directed by an honest and impartial judge, such as, in a case of this kind, must not be looked for in France, but could at once be found in Eng- land, would credit] them. But we, argumentatively, assume the truth of these statements, for the purpose of showing how ab- surd. as well as offensive, is this demand made on England, to change its laws and sacrifice its freedom, and degrade its character, to please a reckless despot. A portmanteau with arms of all sorts deposited in it is talked of, where is it found? In a house in Paris, How did it get there? Not one word is said to explain that mystery, yet the attempt is made to insinuate what the accuser dares not assert, namely, that the arms came from London. The insinuation is thus made—" On the 14th of June a portmanteau, ooutaiuicg five poinards of' English manufacture, fourteen pocket pistols, a cavalry holster pistol, a five barrelled revolver, two casting moulds, and two boxes of caps, was seized at M Gallibourg's house." Does any one doubt that if there had been the slightest means for pretending that the other articles were " of English manufacture," tha statement that they were so would have been pertinaciously trumpeted forth;? It is clear that most of the arms are French, and if they were not, it is impassible to avoid asking bow they got into France. One would have thought that, independently of Government safety, a care tor Govern- ment revenue would have prevented their entry into that well- watched country. But when once in France, how did they get into a portmanteau, and how were they deposited for months in the house of an innocent man, who is not only not charged as a eo- conspirator, but who is actually not accused of being an inti- mate friend or even a oompauion of the accused? It is impossible to read this indictment without some feeling of disgust ( the word is a strong one, and yet it is thoroughly justifiable) for a system of procedure under which such a docu- ment bearing such a character could be put forth, Instead of being a grave aud simple statement of circumstances believed to be capable of proof, it begins as a rhodomontade ef outrageous loyalty, assuming by degrees the character and complexion of a fabrication of details for the purpose of crushing innocent men, and ends with Jesuitical suggestions of guilt. In a country where law and not despotism ruled, the author would be liable at the suit of many parties to actions for damages. Its statements are unconnected and improbable; the " proofs" whioh it triumphantly cites are evidences only of the settled malice of the person who produces them. " VVe will give one in- stance, and then leave the consideration of this miserable schome forabettersub. ject, Tbe indictment says, " Tibaldi. on beingasked in his turn for an explanation, began by saying that Grilli's story was nothing but a tissue of lies— a fact, however, stated by Grilli immediately furnished ameans of corroboration of his statements; He had said that the two poniards which he had received from Ti baldi would be found ill the place where he had hid them— under a chest of drawers near the window in the room in which he lodged at, & c." They were found there; and because they were found where Grilli had placed them, the mdiotment treats the finding as conclusive proof that Tibaldi originally gave them to Grilli, Really when we read such stuff we begin to think not that we are reading an indictment by the Government of a great country against men for high treason and a conspiracy to mur- der, but a story of a swindle practised by some town sharpers on an innocent countryman at a fair. It is the thimble- rig system put in force for political purposes, and on such an accu- sation and such proof a judicial tribunal of one country is aspd to condemn a man to death, and another country WiU be asked to change its laws and surrender its independence. This second request will be made in private to the bovereiga— we anticipate that the Sovereign will add, to her many claims to our confidence and lore, [ that lof giving a direct rerusal to the request. But should it ba otherwise— should unaccustomed weakness overcome her— the country must vindicate its own honour and secure its own freedom- It has plenty of means of doing so with effect. THE LATE BISHOP OP LONDON. It is impossible to allow a personage of such eminence to pass out of this scene: of life without feeling called on to reflect on the character he bore, and the conduct he adopted, while he occu- pied a very high and prominent station in it. The late Bishop was a man of strong intellectual powers, but they were rather those of perception than of judgment. He occupied the see of Chester for about four years, aud the see of London for about twenty- eight years; but, except in the ad- mirable example of a good private character, he did little for the causa of public virtue. His readiness to forward the insti- tution of charities belongs rather to his private virtue, and can- not properly be classed as a public merit. But his station gave him the opportunity of setting a good example in the way of governing men, and thus of improving the administration of the public servieo. In this respect it is enough to say that his con- duct was not what it ought to have been. He had a keener sense of the authority of his high office than of the duties and responsibilities attached to it; or perhaps it may be said that his notion— almost his sole notion— of its duties and responsi- bilities was that of requiring obedience aud subordination. So much was this the case, that the only idea which the public entertained of the exercise of his powers was that he was very dominative over bis clergy. This idea was not beneficial. The Bishop, however, had always been con- sistent in the conduct which conveyed this impression to the public. As Bishop of Chester, he opposed the grant of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, and in doing so he showed rather the will of a priest belonging to the order that enjoyed ascendency in the State than the cautious aud careful consideration of the statesman who was thinking of what, in the way of political rights, the country ought to grant to a particular class of subjects, and could cot longer with honour and justice withhold from them. The church he thus opposed was, however, in the way of discipline ( for, of course, we say nothing of the matter of faith) more to his taste than were the Dissenters. He loved clerical authority, and thought it no doubt essential to the maintenance of true reli- gion, and of course believed much of that doctrine which is the foremost doctrine of the Church of Rome ( but, alas! not of that church exclusively), that in the authority of the church alone can be found safety. Of course the church of which he was a member was the ene that appeared in his eyes the best. But then, as always, he showed the spirit of the churchman rather than the judgment of the senator, and when some years afterwards he refused an English livisg to a clergyman who had received orders in Ireland, he exhibited an even greater and more regrettable absence of those qualities which ought to be expected in one who, in virtuo of his church office, receives the right to sit in the Legislature of the country. In fact, the late Bishop was practically a doctrinaire, that is, one who believes that all men should be governed by the application of doctrines which men in authority have agreed on, and who does not think that any great advantage can be obtained from the admixture of popular opinion and feeling with autocratic decision. He was, therefore, not at all a senator of the highest class. He ab- stained from litigation, but whether that abstinence was en- tirely owing to want of pertinacity in enforcing hi* opinions is another matter : ha did everything short of that to assert his authority. With those who knew him in any other capacity than that of ecclesiastical superior he was a favourite. He had a clear head for practical business, and in one matter at least he employed himself to great public advantage. He was unshaken in his de- termination to bring to an end the abuses of the old system of Poor- law Administration, and to establish something better in its stead. Here, however, he exhibited a tendancy to clerical domination, aud some of those propositions which most strongly excited the fears of some aud the reprobation of others, had him if not for their originator at least for their supporter. Latterly he has been known to the world as a timid favourer of Puseyism, as one who liked it for its tendency to ex- tend and render absolute the authority of the Church, but who feared lest that very tendency might not pro- duce the opposite result by creating a popular re- action that would leave the Church without attendants, and practically and universally develop to its extremest extent the doctrine of the right of private judgment. He hesitated between the extremes of all church and no church, and shrank from enforcing, though he did not like altogether to condemn, the attempts to revive candles, au d crucifixes, and credence tables, and other like fancies of a few violent and inconsiderate persons. So far as these things were concerned, his conduct always seemed to exemplify the habit— objectionable in all good, but safe in all doubtful, things— of letting " I dare not wait upon I would." He was not, therefore, as popular as his undoubted talents, his great learning, and his good private character would otherwise have made him. VISIT OF THEIR MAJESTIES THE EMPEEOS AND EUPEESS OE THE FEEKCH.— On Thursday morning, at a much earlier hour than was generally anticipated by the public at large, the Emperor and Empress of the French arrived at Osborne. The visit is beyond all doubt a strictly private one, and such precau- tious have been taken to insure its being kept so that literally nothing whatever is known of the intended movement of the imperial visitors, and but for the royal saluting very few would have known that they had come at all. Osborne presents un- rivalled facilities for such strict seclusion, not the nominal seclu- sion of emperors, but the undisturbed quiet of a private family. The illustrious individuals, whoever they may be, arrive and step out of their yachts almost at the door of Osborn- house, departing in the same quiet aud perfectly unrestricted manner. Such a chej d'eeuvre of privacy was the visit of the Grand Duke Con- stantino, that to this hour a respectable minority believe he never came at all. The same opinion cannot obtain with regard to the Emperor and Empress, though previous precautions nave been redoubled to keep all relating to their movements strictly secret. A most vigilant surveillance is kept up in the neighbour- hood of Osborne, and indeed all over the island, by a strong force of the police specially brought down from London for the pur pose, assisted in their labours by some members of the French police. Boats have been appointed to keep guard off the beach at Osborne, and to allow no shore or strange boat under any pre- tence whatever to approach it; so that in the present instance the imperial visitors may congratulate themselves in having, in- deed, effected a really private visit to the Queen on the ordinary cordial terms on which one family of rank may entertain an- other. This intention will be most rigidly carried into effect throughout tha brief period during which the illustrious guests are expected to remain. To supply she unusual number of boats required to row guard some of the launches and pinnaces of the men- of- war in harbour were taken, and Master Commander G. Allen's vessel the Sprightly was prometed to tow them to Spit- head. The imperial visitors were received at the landing place at Osborne by her Majesty, aud proceeded at once to the house. It is believed the visit will terminate to- morrow ( Monday), DEATH OE BISHOP BLOMEIELD.— Bishop Blomfleld died at Fulham, at ten minutes after five, on Wednesday night. The late bishop was born in 1786, having been educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He was third wrangler and senior medallist in 1808, and subsequently a fellow of nis college. After taking orders, he became successively Archdeacon of Colchester and Rector of SS Botolph, Bishopsgate, and was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1824, from which see he was translated to that of London, in 1828. DEATH OP W. F. A. DELANE, ESQ.— It. is with groat regret we announce the death of this gentleman, whose active services in connection with the metropolitan press, but more particularly The Times, the management of which he successfully conducted through a lengthened period, will be well remembered by all associated with periodical literature. He had latterly filled the important and responsible post of treasurer to the county courts for the district of Kent. THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE OATHS BILL — The select committee moved for by Lord J. Russell to consider the opera- tion of the act 5th and 6th William IV., cap 62, with reference to the taking of oaths, and to ascertain whether that act would apply to the oaths taken by members before sitting and voting in the House of Commons, met on Thursday, at one o'clock. On the meeting ofthe committee the room was filled by a large body of strangers, conspicuous among whom was Baron Roths- child, but tha room was immediately ordered to be cleared, and the first thing which the committee did was to come to a resolu- tion to exclude the public. TEIAL TEIP OP THE PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM, DOVER MAIL PACKET.— The official trial trip of this vessel took place on Thursday, a large party being on board interested in her success. At 12 o'clock the vessel left the Brunswick Wharf. Blackwall. with a west wind and a flowing tide against her; within 11 minutes she was off Woolwich Dockyard, and at 1: 15 she was abreast of Tilbury Fort, and proceeding to the measured mile, she ran the course six times with the following results :— 1st run. against tide aud wind, 4inn 13sec, 14,377 knots; 2d run, with tide, 4min Osec, 15,000 knots ; 3d run, against tide, 4min29s, 13,358knots; 4th run, with tide, 8mm 48see, 14,553 knots; 5th run, against tide, 4min 40- ec. 12,859 knots ; 6th run, with tide, 3min 38see, 16,514 knots. The ineau result of the two longest and quickest times giving a speed of 14.786 knots, or nearly 174 statute miles. We cannot help remarking that this is a vast improvement over the speed of the former vessels built for the Dover, Osteud, and Calais station; and the remarkable improvement either in ship or machinery is shown in the fact, that whereas eight years ago tha greatest speed attained by the first of the Dover mail packets was 13i knots— the rate of speed with a vessel of the same nominal power, 120 horses; length, 165 feet; breadth, 20 feet; exerting a real power of 720, has realised 14| knots— a speed inferior only to that of the royal yacht, Victoria and Albert, acknowledged to be the fastest in the world. ROXAL SURREY GARDENS.— Madame Aiboni being engaged for six performances, made her appearance on Thursday evening, and created the same enthusiasm as when she sang in the caw music hall last year. The presence of this justly celebrated vocalist in transpontine regions forms quite an event. The concerts in which she takes part, to judge from the first, will have all the air of musical festivals,' and, indeed, where, as in the present case, the highest art becomes manifested, the tersi is in no degree misapplied. The crowds that flocked to the gardens and besieged the hall, the keen sensa of enjoyment per- ceptible in every face, the animation and excitement of the whole audience the instant Alboni's familiar figure was visible in the orchestra, and the breathless attention that waited on every note proceeding from her lips, testified that the occasion was one of extraordinary interest. CHURCH'S PICTURE OP NIAGARA.— There is now an exhibi- tion at Messrs Lloyd Brothers, in Gr& cechurch- streot, a picture by an American artist, Mr Frederick Edward Church, which is destined to become one of the sights of the clay. The subject is Niagara. Few scenes have been more often attempted by the pencil, assd none has hitherto more completely laughed it to scorn. But Mr Church has painted the stupendous cataract with a quiet courage and a patient elaboration, which leave us, for the first time, satisfied that even this awful reality is not beyond the range of human imitation. Mr Church's picture is an oblong of some seven or eight feet by three and- a hal f, if our eye has not deceived us. The view is taken from the Canadian side, a little above Table Rock, and it includes the whole sweep of the Horseshoe Fall, to the comer of Goat Island. There is no foreground or shore. The spectator looks right along the Cana- dian rapids, as their swirls converge for the tremendous leap. A shattered tree- trunk ' is caught in the opposing eddies, which churn and chafe into foam over the layers of brown rock, the sunlight striking their edges into trans- parent green, where they fling themselves over the lips of the ledges, in their hurrying course to the plunge of the mighty river. About the centre of the picture the bend of the barrier enables us to watch the downward leap of the river, not in a sheet, but in innumerable cascades from every pro- jecting point, shivered into fine fringes © f foam, and losing themselves in the spray to which the mass of water is churned by its fall. Across the wet air of this spray cloud the rainbow flings its prismatic arch. Beyond we see the distant lines of foam that mark the rapids, and further still the terraces of the Chippaway shore flushed with the rich hues of American au- tumnal forest. The time is towards evening. A few streaks of purple cloud break the calm expanse of golden sky. The cha- racteristic merit of the picture is sober truth. It bears through- out unmistakable evidence of the most close aud successful study. To paint running water is always difficult. But when the running water is the expanse of a mighty river, broken into countless eddies by rock ledges, and hurrying to such a fall, it may well be conceived what labour has been necessary to apprehend the bewildering facts, what patient mastery to represent them, so as to leave the spectator impressed, as by the presence of the stupendous reality, with the ab straction of motion and sound. Mr Church's picture is on view, previously to its being entrusted to the hands of the chromo- lithographer. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. Most of the Paris journals write in a very unfriendly torse in regard of the recent calamitous outbreak in India. The Sieele, one of the few journals which has proved intelligently consistent in its views of English affairs, takes a different course, and says— " The serious events which at present menace the power of Great Britain have naturally communicated fresh ardour to the enemies of the English alliance. Certain journals pereeive dan- gers for England in Egypt, Persia, India, China, Greece, Canada, and other countries; and, to judge from tfeeir conclusions, England's days are numbered. We cannot, for oar part, so soon forget that our soldiers wear on their breasts, as a mark of honour, the effigy of Queen Victoria. Were a revolt to burst out to- morrow in Algeria, which God forbid, aud we were to see the English rejoice over that event and prognosticate our ruin, we should assuredly treat them as bad allies; we should point out ta them the sacrifices made by France at Itikcrmann and else . vhere. But another reason ought also to restrain the said journals from condemning the existence of England— namely, the simple fact that she is still upright and unhurt. We cannot lose sight of the history of our ally, formerly our gigantic foe— we cannot forget those wonderful atrokesof fortunewhich her energy had prepared. We know the immensity of her resources— the struggles she has formerly sustained— and, far from considering present events as a blo w, we look upon them as a warning, from which she will dorive profit. England vvili learn ( what the Crimean war aud the contests with Persia and China have also taught her) that if com- merce and finances are powerful auxiliaries, they must be sup ported by a military organisation based on equality. We are persuaded that tha English will understand, aud will impress that knowledge on their public men, that the time of old tradi- tions has passed, as likewise that of a tortuous policy. A frank and decided policy is the only one suitable to the present age. We are convinced that the English are well able to meet their present dangers. We have seen in China how they can strike when necessary, and certainly British patriotism will accom- plish all that is required in India. Without aspiring to pro- phetic powers, we foresee that the first result of the Hindoo crisis will be the trausfer of the administration of India from the hands of the Compauy to those of the British Government. India will become au English colony." Tha Gazette de France adopts a middle course, rather of hollow friendship and pretended can- dour, that ill conceals its satisfaction at this serious check. The priests' paper, with the instinctive suspicion inherent in the Jesuit mind, strikes upon the imputation of a viilany so natural to the practice of its ciass that we extract it as a curiosity of priestly foul- miudishness. It is neither more nor less than a charge, in the form. of iauendo, that the English authorities make away with the male children ofludi& u princes, and substitute females, in order to absorb their territories ! " It is a matter of wonder," says the Univers, " that the majority of the consorts of the kings who rule the petty States of India under the protection of « he English Government give birth only to daughters. Is this result to be attributed to the Providence which watches over the interests of the Company, or are the midwives who deliver these queens bribed to substitute female for male children'/" In answer to the Univers we only observe that the English Government is not administered by Jesuits, and does not follow their practices. Tne Jesuits commit a mis- take in judging others by themselves. The Emperor, who is desperately anxious to put a check on our press, aud to destroy the English practice of hospitality to political exiles, lias taken the opportunity of paying a visit to the Queen at Osborne. Count Walewski, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, accompanies the Emperor. Eugene Sue died at Aunecy about a week since. A wine- dealer named Lamulle- iiedouin, of Bercy, was on Saturday week tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for having adulterated wine. It was proved that not fewer than 149 casks, containing 431 hectolitres and 15 litres ( upwards of 450 quarts) of a liquid composed of 67 per cent of t& e common red wines of the south, and of 33 per cent of water, in which elderberries, alum, and other ingredients had been mixed, were seized ; also, that in a vat 88 hectolitres of water, coloured with elderberries, were likewise seized. Tha tribunal condemned the man to six months' imprisonment and 500f line, and to the cost of inserting the text of tbe judgment in two newspapers, and of having 50 copies of it placarded in the streets, one of the placards to be at his own door.— We strongly recommend the adoption of a similar punishment in England. PIEDMONT. Generals Dabormida ana Pastore nave set out from Turin for Alessandria, in order to direct the armament of that fortress. A hundred guns are to be sent from La Spezia forthwith. Marquis Ernesto Pareto, who had been arrested during the late disturb- ances at Genoa, has been set at liberty. A letter from Genoa, of the 30th ult, informs us that Mazzini's article, for the publication of which the Italia del Pepolo was seized, was headed " The Situation." Mazziui, after having explained the part taken by him and his followers eiuring tha late movement in Italy, denies that he ever entertained auy idea of pillage, or of blowing up the public buildings. The movement at Genoa was not directed against the Piedmoutese Government, but it was intended to take advantage of the means of action which Genoa possesses, and to force the King of Piedmont into a revolutionary war. Mazzini concludes by declaring that he will not stop until he has attained his object. NAPLES. The correspondent of the Daily News says:—" A recent event, which has awakened considerable attention here, has been a search instituted on board the Corinthian ( Liverpool steamer), on suspicion of Mazzini being on board. The circum- stances are as follows:— The authorities were warned by tele- graph that Mazzini was probably on board. On arriving in port the vessel was surrounded by boats with gendarmes in them, and the authorities coming off from the Immacolatella, the search was made. Of course the police information was found to be false. No British authority was applied to before the examination was made, and in tha opinion of many the omission was bosh discourteous and informal. The Corinthian had been visited, a few days bafore at Leghorn, but the Hereditary Prince of Tuscany in the first instance scut for Mr Macbeat;, the British Consul, and asked for permission, which was imme- diately granted in the event of the captain consenting. The least that can ba said is, that Tuscan courtesy is vastly superior to Neapolitan. It must be remarked, too, that after so recent a visit the Neapolitan Government was deprived of all excuse for making auother, especially under such discourteous circum- stances. The impression is that the authorities here believed nothing of the report, but that they are anxious, for reasons best known to themselves, to keep up a reactionary stir. The guardia urbana of Sapri has been disarmed— a fact which con- tradicts the statement of the official papers, that the best feeling existed in the country towards the Government. They couiti not act otherwise than they did in presence of a strong military force, but there is no sincere Royalist party." Mr Barbour, Bri tish acting Consul, made an application some days since for a bale of goods on board the C& gliari bslonging to a British subject. An answer was returned to the effect that the whole affair being now placed in the hands of the judicial power, there could be no interference. TURKEY. The Gazette de Vienna suites that Lord Stratford de Red- cliffe is recalled to London en conge. Direct intelligence from Constantinople has, however, been received to the effect that, under present circumstances, Lord de Redcliffe will not quit his post at the Porte. A letter from Vienna says—" In the archives of more than one Foreign Office there is a Russian circular, bearing date 1848, in which it is said that a union of Moldavia and Wallachia would be the beginning of the dissolution of the Turkish Em- pire. If the report be correct, how can the Russian Govern- ment now profess to believe that the union of the two Princi- palities would strengthen rather than weaken Turkey ?" Austria and Russia are in this matter playing their own game. Each wishes to weaken Turkey so as to be able to ap- propriate its best provinces. There is great reason to believe that the pretsnded elections in the Principalities to settle the que^ tian of the Constitution are a gross fraud, and whether it is from the partisanship of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe or the weakness and ignorance of the English Government, England cuts but a sorry figure in the whole affair. The Times says that " despatches have been received at Paris to the effect that Austria was willing to make concessions in the matter of tha Danubian Principalities," On the other hand, the Globe, whose Downing- street inspirations are on record, asserts that " Austria will not tamely submit to the views of France on the Principalities, considering the union of the Danu- bian Principalities as a covert attack upon itself." The Moldavian Gazette, Greco- Russian journal, of the 11th ( 23d of July), contains a decree appointing Alexander Stourdza Prefet of Po'ice, in place of Colonel Algazi, onu of Prince Vogo- rides' aides- de- camp. This news is important, it appearing from private letters that Colonel Aigazi resigned in disgust at the Kaimakan's violent policy ! SWEDEN. The States of the Swedish iiingdom have just discussed two propositions relative to modifications in the constitution. One is to the effect that the council of state must be consulted on the question of contracting alliances with foreign powers; aud the other declares that the King cannot become reigning prince in a foreign country without the consent of the States, The former was rejected by a majority of 37 to 32 by the nobles, and unanimously by the clergy, but adopted without modification by the order of the peasants, and with a slight change by that of the burgesses. The latter was rejected by the clergy, but adopted by the three ether states. UNITED STATES. The Emigration Commissioners report that the emigration to New York, up to the 14th ult, was 107,237 ; being an increase, as compared with the figures of last year, of 38,715. A despatch had been received at Washington from Kansas, stating that a collision between the United States troops and the Free- States men at Lawrence was regarded as inevitable. A special messenger had been despatched with instructions to Governor Walker and General Harney. They have authority to maintain public order and the supremacy of the laws, at every hazard and sacrifice. We have advices from Belize, Honduras, to the 30th of June. A correspondent, writing on that day, draws a very gloomy picture of the present condition and future prospects of the colony. The yield of mahogany was unusually short. The entire crop of wood for tha season would not amount to five millions of feet, instead of fifteen millions, as calculated. SWITZERLAND. It is stated tfeat Doctor Kern ( the late Swiss negotiator in the Neufchatel business) has announced to the Federal Diet that he accepts the post of Minister for Switzerland at Paris. There are some difficulties between the Cantonal and the Federal Governments about a new law of election for the Cantons. THBEE SERGEANTS DROWNED AT PORTSMOUTH.— A melan eholy accident, and in its results unusually disastrous, having deprived the army of three gallant non- commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery, and imperilled the lives of several others, occurred at Portsmouth on Wednesday, which is best described in the following letter, written by one of the survivors:—" Wed- nesday, Aug 5.— Sir : On the above afternoon I and six others went to Spithead for a sail. Light winds drove us up between Bembridge and the fleet, one of the party ascended the mass and capsised the boat; this was about a quarter to six p. m. Poor Sergeant Pearson almost immediately sank, and Sergeant Edey about half an hour afterwards. I s wam round the boat, and detached the sail, which immediately raised her, I then exclaimed, ' You that cannot swim stick to the boat,' and I im- mediately began to divest myself of clothing, and, taking an oar with me under my arm, struck out for the shore, accom- panied by poor Sergeant Wainford, who also had an oar with him, but, swimming faster than he, I left him behind. After half an hour had elapsed, it seemed the distance between me and the shore did not decrease. Ithen struck out to sea, in hopes of seeing something to pick me up, but not a vessel, boat, or anything was in sight. I had a handkerchief round my waist, which I tied round the oar, aud bestrode it, the sea washing over me at the same time. I imbibed a great deal of salt water, and began to feel excessively tired and faint, and lookig towards the, boat, could only see three persons on her. I saw poor Wainford struggling about one- third of a mile away from me, and then I began to strike out, first for one object and then for another; the more I tried, however, the further th y seemed to be away. I halloed with all my might, but no response was given, and I became quite wearied out. With a last convulsive effort I shouted again, when, to my inexpressible joy, I heard a voice— the first I had heard since I left the boat. In a little time I ob- served something approaching me, and at the same moment the oar sank from under me and I went deep under water; it was then twelve, midnight. The boat belonged to the coal brig Marys, of Portsmouth. Captain Albert Winter, to whose kind- ness and humanity, in conjunction with Divine Providence, I owe my existence, most generously provided me with clothing and the necessary restoratives, and gave up his own bed." The three men who clung to the boat were picked up about half- past eleven. They were taken insensible to the ferry house at Langston Harbour, but thero they were refused admission or assistance, or restoratives of any kind, and but for the kindness of some men of the Coastguard on duty at that station, all of them would undoubtedly have perished; as it was, and with all the kindness shown them by the seamen, it was many hours before they were sufficiently recovered to be removed. The body of Sergeant Pearson was picked up on Thursday morning at Spithead. The two others ( Sergeants Wamt'ord and Edey) have not yet been recovered. MILITAEY INTELLIGENCE. THE TROOPS ton INDIA.— Ihn wliol? of the large force placed under ordfcrs for Iadia before the arriv& J of tha last mail wiil have embarked by this time. It has since been determined sub- stantially to increase the reinforcements, and along with some addition to the Royal Artillery force, two regiments of cavalry and four of infantry will be immediately placed under orders for the East. The 7fch Hussars will bo one of the cavalry corps; the ether is not yet selected, but either the 4Sh or 5th Dragoon Guards will probably be chosen. The infantry regiments for this service are the 56th, 66th, 7id Highlanders, and another not yet determined on, but which in all likelihood will be the 44th Regimeut. They will be made up to 1,200 each. In consequence ef the larga artillery force being sent out, Major- General Dupuis will proceed in command of that branch ofthe army, and we presume, from the great increase to tha European troops, that some of the colonels of the army will be appointed to the com- mand of brigades, with the temporary rank of major- general.— Globe. Tne undermentioned companies of the 14th battalion Royal Artillery, at head- quarters, Woolwich, were on Tuesday night ordered to be in readiness to proceed to the Royal Arsenal pier to embark for Bombay on Wednesday, namely:— Capt Ommaney and Capt Paget in command; Captain and Brevet- Major Bolton, Captain French, Lieutenants Lowry, Da Cetto, Moresby, Burn, Hobart, and Guille ; Assistant- Surgeon Orton, two sergeants, Conductors Martin ana Lindsay, and 300 non- commissioned officers aud privates, lieutenant Maxwell and Vetorinary- Sur- geon Ilarpley and 24 non- commissioned officers and men of the E troop Royal Horse Artillery were also ordered to proceed from Woolwich to embark on board the Lady Jocolyn at Gravesend, about to sail for Bombay. The remaining four battalion com- panies are to follow without delay. The three companies of Royal Marines, 300 strong, under orders to proceed from Wool- wich to China, have been inspected by M& j- Ganeral Wesley, and have been ordered an addition of one sergeant, one corporal, and 48 privates. A despatch was on Saturday forwarded to Colonel iiloomfield, commanding the garrison at Woolwich, directing au increased force of 1,000 rank and file of t h « Royal Artillery to bg withdrawn from the home stations, and to be prepared for the earliest possible departure for India. Six officers, 10 ser- geants, and 313 rank aud file, forming the last detachment of the first battalion of 1st Royals, embarked on Tuesday at Kingstown, in the Defiance, sailing transport, 1,360 tons burden. The fol lowing are the names of the officers :— Lieufc- Col Daveny, Brevet- Maj Maine, Lieut Manners, Howard, aud Deane, and Ensign Logan. Niuety. eight men of the third battalion of the 60th Rifles, under the command of Capt Tongue and Lieut Hodgens, embarked in the same vessel. The Defiance sailed in the even- ing. The head- quarters of the 38th Regiment, consisting of 14 officers and 232 men, under the command of Col Sparks, C. B., embarked in tha staam transport. United Kingdom, 1,500 tons burden, which left Liverpool Harbour on Wednesday morning. Six officers and 151 men of the second battalion of the Rifle Brigade sailed by the same vessel. On Wednesday 14 officers and 341 man of the 38th Regiment leit Dublin for Kingstown, where they embarked on board the United Kingdom sailing transport, which left on Thursday morning for Calcutta. On Thursday 19 officers aud 340 men of the second battalion Rifle Brigade left Kingstown for India. The H troop Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Brevet Lieutenant Turner, marohed from Portobello on Thursday to Dublin, where theyemb irk for Liver- pool, proceeding to India. The head- quarters division of the third battalion 60th Rifles, under the command of Colonel Bed- ford, embarked at Kingstown on Friday, in the Liverpool, for India. THE CLIPPER SHIPS.— On Tuesday her Majesty inspected the James Baiues, the Champion the Seas, and the Ladj Jocelyn, prior to the embarkation of troops for India. The James Baines and Champion of the Seas are each of about 2,500 tons burden, 34 feet in breadth, and 285 feet in length, and very handsome. We have never had any ships in this harbour ( sajs our Ports- mouth correspondent) which have created such interest as these, for they have been visited by the best sailing aud gunnery officers of the navy, and all have expressed their admiration aud aston- ishment at their capacious stowage, airy and ample accommoda- tions, and the unprecedented speed chronicled in their logs. Her Mfjesty was especially pleased with them, aud remarked that she had no idea she had such splendid ships in her merchant service. The James Baines embarked nearly 1,000 of the 97th and other troops, and the Champion of the Soas nearly the same number of the 20th and other regiments. The Lady Jocelyn took out the 54th. The embarkations were superintended by Colonel Wright, Assistant Quartermaster- General of tha South- west District, in whose hands was placed the following noble letter by the owuer of the Black Ball line of packets:—" On board the James Baines at Portsmouth, Thursday, Aug 6. My dear sir : As I know, from the experience of being a soldier's son, that there is more glory than riches in the profession of arms, I be- lieve there must be many sorrowing hearts among the poor soldiers' wives ; and, as a substantial proof of the deep interest felt by the owners of the James Baines and the Champion of the Seas at these sad partings, I beg to enclose a check for £ 200, which I shall feel obliged by your dividing between the com- manding officers of the troops now embarking in these ships.— Yours very faithfully, T. M. MACKAY.— To Lieut- Col Wright, Assistant Quartermaster- General of the South- west District." The above sum goes to the wives of the 20th, 97th, and one- third of the 423 Regiment.

MOVEMENTS OP SHIPS.— In Devonport Dockyard the only ships building are the screw steam- frigate Topaz, expected to be launched in two months, and the screw steamship Dom gal, 101, which may be launched during the present year. The Narcissus, a fourth- rate, is lengthening— it may be said rebuilding— for a 50- gun screw. The screw steamship St Jean d'Acre, 101, is being restored for the steam reserve, after being nearly prepared for the receptisn of the Atlantic telegraph wire. The Creole, 26. sixth rate, is altering for an advance ship, and the sailing ships London, 90, and Aboukir, 90, are both receiving the screw. The basin contains the screw steam corvette Pelorus, 21, and tha screw steam- gun vessel Mohawk, 4, and the gunboats Skipjack and Forward, preparing for sea. The only new work in progress is the south smithery, which has been two years in hand— it measures 160 fe t long by 120 broad, and will be ready for use in a few months; the saw mills adjoining, which are 120 feet square, are equally forward.

The cause of the accident, as we mentioned last week, was very singular. The horse— a high- cour. iged hunter, ridden for the first time by a lady— was cantering close to the rails on the left hand side of Rotten row, with the wrong leg first. Upon the left hand rein being lightly touched he thought he was to jump at the rails, which he did sideways, and being too near to clear them, caught the strong iron bar above the knees, and fell over the other side upon Miss Gilbert. That she escaped uninjured ( except being stunned) still appears almost impossible to those who saw the accident and saw her carried into St George's Hospital apparently dead, but her escape is owing to her fine seat and nerve, and to the fact that the pom- mel of the saddle caught the weight of the fall, and threw the horse beyond her. The best answer to the numerous kind inquiries that have been made at her house by ladies and gen- tlemen strangers to her is, that she has beea riding the same horse in Rotten- row twice this week. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A POACHER.— On Thursday evening, about nine o'clock, two young men, named Thomas Clark, weaver, and Richard Wade, warper, in the employ of Messrs Dewhurst, cotton manufacturers, Salford, Clitheroe, were looking for hares between what is known as Four La » e Ends, and the residence of T. W. Aspinail, Esq. Clark got over a hedge into the highway a few moments before Wade, who had a gun in the side pocket of his coat, with the etock separated from the barrel, in order to conceal his illegal purpose, for they were in the very centre of the property over which is placed a gamekeeper. On Wade getting upon the hedge to jump into the road, the gun, which was pointed downwards, with the trigger up, fell out of his pocket, capsized, and went off, its contents entering his left, and lodging in his right, side. Clark, hearing the explosion, turned round, and asked if he had shot a hare; but Wade re- plied that he had shot himself. His cl othes were on lire. He told Clark to run to Clitheroe, about three quarters of a mile off, and fetch a doctor, while be would walk to a barn in the field, but bo miscalculated his powers, for he had only walked about 20 yards when he fell. He was immediately carried home on a gate, in the greatest agony. He lingered till Monday afternoon, when he expired. THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—( From the Quarterly Return of the Registrar- General,)— This return comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,196 registrars in all the districts of England during the spring quarter that ended on the 30th of June, 1857; and the marriages in 12,239 churches or cbapels, about 3,845 registered places of worship unconnected with the established church, and 628 superintendent- registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended on March31,1857. The marriage rate was slightly above the average in the first three months of the year; the birth rate was above and tho death rate was below the average during the quarter that ended on June 30th last, The marriages in the winter quarter ( January, February, and March) are always less numerous than in any other quarter of the year; but 66,762 persons married in that quarter of the pre- sent year, and marriage went on at the rate of 1,410 persons married to 100,000 living. The births of 170,813 children were registered in the quarter that ended on the 30th of June; and the births were at the rate of 3 546 annually, the decennial average being 3' 523. The number of births is less by 2,891 than the births in the corresponding quarter of 1856; but it exceeds by 5,038 the births in the spring quarter of the war year 1855. As the births were 170,313, and the deaths 100,205, the natural | increase of the population of England and Wales was 70,108 in | 91 days. The natural increase of the population of the united I kingdom probably exceeded 1,100 daily. The deaths in the ; week ending August 1st were 1,238, of which 632 were males ; and 606 females. The increase on previous weeks, above shown, ' arises from the mortality from diarrhoea, which has constantly advanced during the last five weeks. Besides the deaths from diarrhoea, 24 are returned as " choleraic diarrhoea," " cholera infantum," & c. Last week tha births of 843 boys and 830 girls, i in all Ij673 children, were registered in London. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. THE WALWORTH MURDER.— At Croydoa, On Thursday, Agnes Williams, So. was indicted for the wilful murder OJ Menry Rix. The deCta^ ed, who seemed to have been a harmless, Inof- fensive mas, carried on the business of a chandler's shopkeeper at Walworth, and it appeared that the father of the prisoner had run up a score with him, which he was either unable or un- willing to pay, and the deceased had sued him in the County Court, and an order was made for the liquidation ef the debt by the payment of a certain monthly instalment. This amount was not paid, and the deceased consequently obtained a judgment summons, under which the father of the prisoner was committed to the eouuty gaol. This proceeding evidently excited the most intense feeling of vengeance in the mind of the prisoner, and she was repeatedly heard to utter fearful threats against the unfor- tunate deceased. On the 16th of July the prisoner went to tha deceased's shop, and abused him in the most violent manner, and she repeatedly said that she was determined to destroy him, and she should not mind being hung for him. Tha wife of ths deceased did all she could to keep her husband from coming into contact with the prisoner, but she contrived to make her way into the shop, and ended a volley of abuse by striking the de- ceased a violent blow with a stone on the breast, and the evi- dence left no doubt that the excitement occasioned by the attack that was made upon him, aud the actual violence he received were the causes of death.— The jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, aad she was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. A BRUTAL POLICEMAN.— At Bow- straet, on Tuesday, a young woman, named Sarah Clarke, whose bandaged head and iilood- stained apparel excited a thrill of horror among the spectators in the court, was charged with disorderly conduct. The charge was preferred by Police- constable Wyre, 117 F, who said that the defendant and some other girls were making a noise near Plough- court, Carey- street, at two o'clock in the morning. He interfered, upon which the girls dragged him into a passage, and ( coiitiKued t he officer) I was obliged to use ray staff in order to release myself. I struck the defendant on the head, and thran took her to the hospital, where tha wound was dressed by the house- surgeon. Witness afterwards qualified this statement, by saying that he did not wilfully strike her with his stsff, but somehow her head come in contact with the staff during the struggle. He assured the court that he was ill- used himself, but no marks of violence were visible on his person.— Mr Henry said he had never heard of a constable using his staff in so cowardly a manner. It was sometimes necessary to take out the staff when an officer was attacked by a man, but in this case such a proceeding was wholly unwarranted. Two inhabitants of the court here stepped forward and described the brutal conduct of tbe policeman, and one of them expressed a belief that he was drunk. The defendant had only one" companion, another woman, and he struck them both with his staff.— Mr W. Mearing, a law stationer, residing in Cook's- eourt, Carey- street, deposed that he was returning home at the time of the disturbance, and saw the constable knock defendant down with his staff. He hastened to procure another constable; and, on his return with the officer, Wyre gave him a blow on the head with his staff for having interfered to rescue the poor girl from his further violence. Witness's head bled profusely in consequence, and ha complained of the constable's behaviour the same morning at the police- station.— Wyre denied that he struck the gentleman at ail, but another witness in court confirmed Mr Mearing's statement, and added that Wyre actually struck one of his brother constables for interfering with him.— The station- ser- geant was of opinion that Wyre was perfectly sober. There was blood on his ( Wyre's) face when he came to the station.— Mr Henry: Yes, that was evidently the blood from defendant's head. I shall discharge the girl at once, for nothing against her character is known here, and she may rest assured that the policeman's conduct will be inquired into. DARING GAROTTE ROBBERY.— At Marlborough- street, on Wednesday, William Goff, William Jones, Emma Gringer, and Mary Ann Clarke, were brought before Mr Bingham for final ex- amination, charged with being concerned, with others not in custody, in garcttiug George Johnson, landlord of the Salisbury Arms, Bear- street, aud robbing him in his own house,— George Johnson sworn: I keep the Salisbury Arms, Bear- street, Leicester- square. On Tuesday morning, the 23th of July, about three o'clock, as I was about to close my house, the prisoners Goff and Jones, with two other persons, came into my house and had some refreshment. The prisoner Goff having no money offered to leave a watch as security for the 2s worth of refreshment the party had been served with, and at the same time asked me to lend him 5s. As I had seni Goff once before, I let him have the money and some more drink, making the whole debt 12s. While the party was in front of the bar, I missed one of them, aud almost immediately afterwsrds I was suddenly seized from behind, an arm was thrown round my neek, and I was garotteel in the bar. I was nearly insensible and speechless, but I saw the other three prisoners come round from the front of the bar, aad I felt them rifling my pockets. They took my watch aud four sovereigns, besides o » e pouud in silver, from me. I struggled as hard as I could, aud I got away, and then I distinctly saw that Goff and Jones were two of the men who had seized hold of me. I could not call out because my throat was so naweh compressed, and the violence 1 sustained was so great that I became insensi- ble. I will positively swear to the two male prisoners. The prisoners were all committed for trial. THE CASE OP STABBING IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON.— At Southward, on Thursday, the court was occupied several hours in investigating the charge against Antonio de Salvi, an Italian, and Mr Jabez Samuel Go * er, auctioneers, of Barbican— tho former with stabbing Mr R. H. Rebertson, a gentleman con- fined for debt in the Queen's Bench prison ; and the latter with inciting him to do the same, with intent to inurder him. This being the final examination of the accused, the court was crowded with persons of respectability anxious to hear tha evi- dence. Mr Gower, who was accompanied by a number of influ- ential merchants aud contractors, surrendered at the appointed time.— Mr Sleigh said that he had just seen the medical officer of the Queen's Prison, Mr Wakem, and Mr Jones, the doctor who first attended to the injured man, and both those gentle- men had informed him that Mr Robertson was in the same state, and that no alteration for the better had taken place. He probably might die in two hours, or he might live many days; but still they were of opinion that he could not survive the murderous attack on him.— Numerous witnesses were examined, who, however, merely corroborated the evidence already given, and the prisoners were committed for trial.— Mr Gower was again admitted to bail. CHARGE OF HOUSEBREAKING AND ROBBERY.— At Maryle- boue, on Thursday, Mr Broughion was engaged for a long time in the further investigation of a case in which George Henry Hayter, George Morgan, and Frederick Henry Pasmore, were charged with having broken into the house of General Harrison, 23, Elm Tree- road, St John's Wood, and carrying off property, of different descriptions, to a considerable amount. Mr Pearce, a respectable tradesman on Ludgate- hill, was also charged with being a receiver of a portion of the property. He was dis- charged, and the other defendants remanded back till Saturday next.—" General" Harrison is the well- known acquaintance of the Bishop of Bond- street, generally called " Plantagenet Harrison." FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE ASD THE FREEMASONS.— Lord Panmure, accompanied by Lord Durham, Lord Leigh, Lord Goderich, Lord Lincoln, Lord Carnarvon, and a numerous party, visited Woolwich Arsenal, on Tuesday morning, after which they repaired to the Town Hall, to attend a meeting of the Woolwich Masonic Brethren, for the purpose of inaugurating a new masonic lodge, te ba named ahe " Nightingale Lodge," The ceremony was performed by the new D. Grand Master, the Right Hon Lord Panmure, assisted by Br White, P. G. Sec, Br J. B. Wilson, G. D., Br Famfield, Assist G. Sec, Br Hervey, P. G. D,, and a number of others, about 150 of tbe brethren being present. At the conclusion of the ceremony, which was impressively performed, Captain Forbes, of the Royal Artillery, was installed into the chair as the first master, and the D. G. M., addressing him, aaid that though th e order did not admit ladies to its ceremonies, there was nothing to prevent their hailing from a lodge bearing the name of a lady who had left her home to perform a most Christian, a most disinterested, a most useful work, and thus carry into effect that truly masonic virtue- charity. He felt that she had made a name that was confined not to a kingdom, but which was as widely spread through the world as was the ancient craft of freemasonry. In the evening a number of the brethren dined at the Crown and Anchor Ta- vern; his lordship, however, was unable o attend, owing to his duties in the House of Lords. ATTEMPTED MUEDEE AND HIGHWAY ROBBEEY IN IRE- LAND.— On Monday roorniug early Captain John Inman, staff officer and paymaster of the local corps of pensioners at Clon- mel, a gentleman above sixty years of age, left Clonmel on a car, accompanied by his sen, about twelve years old, and the driver of the car, also a boy, for the purpose of paying the pensioners in Cashel and Fethard. They were walking the horse up a hill at Ballyveelish, when a man of middle stature approached, dressed in a dark frock coat. Having caught tho reins, this person ordered Captain Inman to deliver up what money he had or he would take his life, at the same time presenting a pistol at the captain, who stood upon the car lo take a pistol from his pocket. Captain Inman replied that he bad no money, when the man at once left the horse and grappled with the captain, who had got off the car. A pistol was then fired, and Captain Inmaii received a wound in the left arm. His murderous assailant also dealt the captain a severe blow across the nose and eyes with the barrel of tha pistol, from which he is suffering acutely. The captain then fell against the diteh, and his assailant proceeded to rifle the car, from which lie took the pay- sheets and some account, books. As there is a branch of the National Bank in Cashel there was no money fortunately in the car, but a bank check was carried off in the book. The robber also deliberately carried off the captain's sword, which had fallen off the car. He has not vet been apprehended. FRIGHTPUL ACCIDENT AT THE RHYMNEY IRON WORKS.— THREE MEN KILLED.— A frightful accident has occurred at the extensive iron works at Rhymney, South Wales. Three unfortunate men were suddenly deprived of life, and about a dozen others were wounded and injured with more or less severity. The catastrophe was caused by an explosion of one of tho great boilers. The extensive machinery by which the operation of rolling the metal is ac- complished is worked by a very large aud powerful steam engine, the steam for driving which is generated isi four boilers of colos- sal dimensions, With a view, BS far as it is possible to do so, to guard against danger, these boilers are erected on the outside of the rolling- mills, from which they are separated by a wall full fifteen feet high and of considerable strength and substance. The accident cocurred at about three o'clock in the morning. Very providentially, it occurred at a period when the numerous hands were resting for a brief space from their labours. Some of the hands were resting themselves inside of the rolling- mills, when one of the great boilers exploded with prodigious violence. The effects produced were tremendous, the heavy wall before referred to was blown to atoms, the stones being hurled about in all directions; the great stack of the engiue- house was so vent and shattered that it will have to be pulled entirely down; the boiler itself was blown to pieces, while the debris fell upon and shattered the roofs of numerous adjacent houses, the inmates of which had some of them very narrow escapes. A gentleman named Williams bad a large fragment of stone forced through the roof of his residence and on to the bed where he was sleeping. To give an idea of the terrific force of the ex- plosion it may be stated that the middle of the boiler, which weighed between five aud six tons, was thrown over one of the forge tops to a distance of a hundred yards, and was found, when afterwards discovered, completely flattened; one of tbe ends of the case, weighing fully half a ton, was blown to a still greater distance, while the smaller fragments, amongst which was a piece of tbe steam pipe weighing a hundred weight, were were found at distances of three or four hundred yards. It was found that the engine man, Owen Davis, and a " bailer," named Robsrt Hobbs, were killed and buried beneath the ruins ; and that Patrick Bryan was so terribly hurt that he died very shortly afterwards. About a dozen others, all of them employed in the balling department of the works, had been more or less injured by the falling fragments of stone and iron, and one a good deal scalded by the escaped steam. ROBBEEY EEOM THE EARL OP CHESTERPIELD'S VAULT.— A daring robbery was effected on Sunday night last in the vault of the Earl of Chesterfield, in Shelford Churchyard, Nottingham- shire. Tha robbers having effected an entrance into the vault, conveyed away three coronets from the coffins belonging to Philip, the late Earl, and his two countesses, the villains doubt- less imagining their prize to be more valuable than it in reality is. A reward has been offered for th- ir apprehension. A SON CHARGED WITH SHOOTING HIS MOTHER.— OnMonday, at the Castle Eden ( Durham) Petty Sessions, James Tulip, a youth of 17, was charged with shooting his mother, with intent to do her bodily harm. On the preceding Wednesday evening, tha prisoner, having quarrelled in his mother's house with a female neighbour, threatened to shoot her: he snatched up a gun from the corner of the room, put a cap on, and snapped it. His mother expostulated with him, when he said, " Youb , I'll shoot you, too," and putting a cap on another gun he pre- sented and fired the piece, the contents lodging in the upperlpart of her back. A medical man was called in, and extracted 18 shots, some of which had penetrated to a cepth of 14 iuch. The poor woman was so ill as to be unable to attend, though deemed convalescent; and the prisoner was remanded, bail being ac- cepted for his appearance.

MONDAY, AUGUST 8.— The Goodwood settling, which was unusually heavy, drew a large attendance, and the Subscription Room was crowded throughout the afternoon. Considerable sums changed hands, and we should have had a favourable report to make but for the absence of two parties— backers of horses— whose liabilities are said to ba serious. In one case it is stated that a settlement is not at all improbable, but the other is said to be quite a hopeless affair, partaking so much of the complexion of an attempt to victimise the Ring that we hear it is the in- tention of several bookmakers to bring it before the Committee Of the Room. We did not hear a dozen bets laid during the afternoon, the only transactions that came to our knowledge being 5 to 1 to £ 45 against Mongrel for the Ebor Handicap, 6 to 4 against Blink Bonny for the Lsger, and 20 to 1 to £ 75 against Mongrel winning the Ebor Handicap, Saunterer the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and Blink Bonny the Leger. THURSDAY, AUGUST 6.— NO attendance. The Subscription Room will be opened this ( Saturday) afternoon. MANCHESTER— FRIDAY EVENING. Ebor Handicap : Mongrel has been backed very freely, but the investments on the other favourites are in small amounts. Strathnaver and Blink Bonny have both been backed for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, at the quotations, and 5 to 2 is offered on the field, on the strength of Blink Bonny running.— St Lege: 6 to 4 currently offered agst Blink Bonny.

It is with regret that we announce that this veteran sport- man has decided upon closing his career as a master of fox- hounds with the present season, after having hunted the county of Dorset, at his own expense, for upwards of half a century. The announcement was publicly made by Mr Farqu- harson, on Wednesday last, to a large body of gentlemen, over whom he presided at the luncheon prior to the annual sale and letting of Southdown sheep, at Higher Waterson Farm, near Dorchester; and we scarcely need say, that it has caused the most painful feelings among those who have been in the habit of following his hounds for so many years. We shall refer more fully to this subject next week. CHELTENHAM STAGHOUNDS.— At a very influential meeting held on Tuesday last, at the Queen's Hotel, Cheltenham, W. W. Skillicorne, Esq, in the chair, W. H. White, Esq, of Ches- hunt, was appointed master, and the chairman consented to act as secretary and treasurer during Mr White's mastership. Mr White is a spirited young sportsman, and well qualified for the post of master to a pack of staghounds. and we doubt not will make a worthy successor to the late gallant master, Capt D. West. It is understood that Earl Fitzhardinge will present the stags to the hunt, as has been his lordship's custom for many years. His lordship, we are grieved to say, is beyond hope of recovery. His loss will be felt severely in Gloucestershire, but in Cheltenham particularly, where his munificence is proverbia , TO THE EDITOR OI? BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : From the late Goodwood meeting a new Era in the Annals of the Turf may be said to be dated, as it brought together in the presence of the most distinguished audience that ever graced the Richmond race course the steeds of the Old and New World, and although the mother country was not victorious in the struggle, still her reputation was not disgraced, as Monarque last year was compelled to strike his colours to an English horse, wltose reputation has not since been increased. The New Yorkers, also, are deserving of our respect; and I fancy when next seen in public, from the experience of our mode of preparing horses which Mr Ten Broeck has now gained, it will be found he has formed no exaggerated notions of their quality, and that America may yet be proud of her exportations. To speak in praise of the details of the meeting is quite superero- gatory, on the same principle which animated the Roman when he made the well- known reply of quis vitipuravit Herculem ? And when I state that upwards of 250 horses started during the four days, the magnitude of the Goodwood festival will well be understood. I shall uot attempt to go through the return list of the sport seriatim, for after the, voluminous and interesting account which appeared in your columns last week, the task would be as wearisome to the writer as to the reader; still, upon some of the events I should like to offer a few remarks explanatory of much that did not come under the public eye. Tuesday's card was the weakest of the four, as most of the stakes have somewhat gone out of fashion; and from the univer- sal desire expressed in all circles that it should be strengthened by the Stewards' Cup, I have no doubt hereafter that the wishes of the best friends of the meeting will be consulted by the authorities. That cripples should win the Three Hundred Sovs Sweepstakes is not at all surprising, seeing that since it has been instituted few sound horses have been found to carry it off. But in all the experience of the hospitals, I much doubt if ever so large a sum was put down for so infirm an animal as Fazzoletto, or that such a lame- un was ever got through a race with such ability as our hero was by " Nat," whose intimate acquaintance with the horse's peculiarities enabled him to make an honourable retirement from the Turf. Lord of Lorn's success in the Lavant proved that Prince had not been idle with him since Ascot. With his Lordship, Blanche of Middlebie, and Sunbeam, Mr Merryjnay congratulate himself upon possessing a trio of pretty formidable two year olds. On Wednesday matters improved, and a very interesting Goodwood Stakes was contested by a very large field, with a result satisfactory at least to the bookmakers ; for if Leaming- ton, with 6st 91b on him in the spring, could only beat his Chester Cup horses by a neck, it was not probable his friends would be infatuated with his chance with 251b more on him, especially as in the Assot Cup, with a pound less on his back than what he carried to- day, he was last from start to finish. The question, therefore, resolves itself into whether Leamington is the best horse in England, or whether the lot behind him in the Stakes is not most moderate. Much may be said on bath sides, but from the forward position of Fisherman, both in the Cup and Stakes ( and he would have been much nearer the winner to- day, but for a disappointment which he met with at the " accident turn"), I am inclined more to admit the supe- riority of Leamington rather than underrate too much the claims of his opponents, some of whom were tried good enough to be backed for large sums by their respective powerful stables. Martinet, for an untrisd horse, kept his position in the market with great firmness, but he evinced not the slightest improve- ment upon his spring form, and Van Dunck, as the betting indicated, whipped in to Fisherman. Gunboat was near proving useful to his party, and the weight that was put on him by the handicapper, although he only started once last year, turned out to be fully justified by the way he made through the whole of the fleet. Barfleur and Rosati cut up so wretchedly that it will be " passing strange" if they are ever again seen in the list of favourites for a great race. The Stewards' Cup was decidedly the gayest affair of the week ; and out of the immense number of thirty- eight runners to be able to point out both the first favourite and the winner required no small powers of " observation." Tourna- ment to some extent redeemed himself after his disgraceful exhibitions at Epsom and Ascot, which by the bye have never been satisfactorily accounted for; whilst Loy- ola's performance proves what little chance he ever could have had for a race like the Derby. The compliment paid in your report to the bandicapper was not more flattering than deserving ; and I am disposed to agree with the majority of the loakers- on that if Snowden had not been in such a hurry to get home with Unexpected, Captain Christie might have been the recipient ofthe Stewards' Cup. Thursday must be admitted to have been the most exciting Cup day even Goodwood ever knew, the interest inspired by foreign, competition" with " native manufacture" quite making up for the badness of the pace in the Cup, and the un- interesting character of some of the other events on the card. Whilst every incident of the Cup race is fresh in your readers' recollection, it would be superfluous in me to add more than my firm belief that but for the accident to Gemma di Vergy our champion would have borne his colours to the front; to- gether with my unbiassed conviction that we should congratu- late our Allies upon the fact of the Yankees being short of work and so badly ridden, or the New World would undoubtedly have triumphed over the Old, and New York instead of Paris have been inflamed by; the distinction of having beaten " The Britishers" for one of their most coveted prizes on the Turf. Monarque's success, reduced almost to a nicety. by his rough gallop with Mademoiselle de Chantilly, will have so good an effect in strengthening the entente cordiale between the two countries that we can hardly grudge Count dela Graugethe vic- tory ; and it is surprising the horse was not a better favourite considering that he was not beaten a length and a half for it last year with a foreign jockey on him. It would be unfair, under the circumstances, to criticise the chances of " Gemma," Arsenal, and Anton— indeed as a true test of public running, the Goodwood Cup of the present year must not be referred to as a faithful criterion of the merits of the horses engaged in it; and in taking leave of the subject, let me add my hope that next year, although we cannot expect a more interesting or better con- tested struggle, there may, at all events, be no more unfortunate accidents to prevent the best horse winning. The two year old racing to- day was plentiful and interesting. John Scott brought out three winners, all belonging to the " Longbow family," which promises to maintain the distin- guished reputation of their roaring progenitor, whose failing., however, none of them have so far exhibited. Longrange, the beau ideal of a Derby horse, is one of the finest movers ever seen, and from the style in which he won, instantly became first favourite for the great Surrey event, taking precedence of Mr Howard's two, Clydesdale and Sedbury, and his stable compa- nion, Cock- a- doodle- doo, likewise. The Findon brought out a good field, and afforded further proof of the immense two year old strength of Mr Howard's stable, whose representative on this occasion was in every respect entitled to the appellation of Perfection. It is not a little singular that on the first occasion of this new stake being run for it should be carried off by the gentleman by whom it was promoted. The Racing Stakes produced a most exciting finish, and at the same time exposed the little elaims such horses as Schiedam and Bird in the Hand possessed to be backed for arace like the Derby! Blink Bonny's victory over the Chevalier did not strike me as being so very easily accomplished as it seemed to be from the latter's running out, which the exhibition of a little more patience on Fordham's part might perhaps have prevented. Friday's racing was quite the reverse of a banyan day, and in bidding adieu to Goodwood I can only echo the hopes of many of the sportsmen who patronised it, that the beloved nobleman, on whose domain the meeting is held, may long be spared to wit- ness so successful and brilliant a gathering of race horses and their owner's and friends as was afforded during the past week. The interval between Brighton and York, is appropriated to Provincial meetings, and in the ensuing week Lewes, Wolver. hampton, Reading, Paisley, and Knighton hold their annual reunions, thus affording the professionals ample opportunities for pursuing their avocations, east, west, north, and south; although Reading and Lewes will, of course, have the largest share of Metropolitan patronage. Lewes, abandoned by Mr Topham from the want of patronage bestowed upon him, has reared its head again under local management of a new character, and, as far as the pro- gramme will enable me to judge, the meeting promises to be gayer than on its last anniversary; nor is it likely to be affected by the Wolverhampton, as most of the bookmakers and " gentlemen sportsmen" are likely to prolong their stay at the sea- side until the close of the Sussex meetings. The bill of fare promises seven races per diem, the principal items on Monday being the Lewes Grand Free Handicap with 200 sovs added, the Two Year Old Stakes, and the Innkeepers' Plate. There are nineteen acceptances to the Handicap, of which the most formidable are Comquot, Hartley Buck, and Hobgoblin, and my opinion of tkeir respective chances is in the order I have named them. There are ten nominations to the Two Year Old Stakes, which looks likely to be won by Royal Sovereign or Rocket. In the Innkeepers' Plate Miss Waters ought to be very " handy" unless reserved forihe Nursery on the second day. In the latter race, however, she may find formidable opponents in Keystone ( late Jack Horner) and another of the light weights. The Sussex County Cup, for which most ofthe best horses in the kingdom are entered, will be the most interesting event of the meeting, from the fact of the American mare Prioress again coming out to do battle for the honour of the " stripes and stars." Chariton is engaged to ride her, and as the mare mus^ be all the better for the extra preparation she has had since Goodwood, I shall expect to see her prove a very troublesome customer to Gemma di Vergy, Tournament, or the best English horse that is brought against her. Most of the other engagements have yet to be entered for. The Reading Meeting, which occupies Wednesday and Thurs. day next, is recognised as one of the most agreeable reunions on the " Home Circuit," and aided by the patronage of the Usley, Northleach, and Danebury stables, some excellent sport will be afforded to such of tlie Metropolitan turfites who may not be attracted to " the Wight" to witness racing of another de scription. In the list, issued under most aristocratic patronage, half a dozen are set down to be run for each afternoon, com- mencing with the Easihampstead Park Stakes, for which a dozen are handicapped— Lord Clifden's representative and Elfrida the most dangerous. The Berkshire Stakes had 36 subscribers, and 20 of their nomi- nations have accepted. I will not attempt to make out a field for this event, but shall expect to see The Borderer or Signal th ® winner. The Abbey Stakes has 17 two year olds entered, Lord of Lorn being the most formidable. In the Nursery Stakes, for which the entry is smaller than might heve been expected, I should give the preference to Wrestler and Apollo. On Thursday, in the Reading Stakes, Polly Peachum may find a formidable opponent in Venetia; and in the Whitley Handicap I shall expect to see Nereus run well. The Wolverhampton Meeting, now that it has been reduced to a couple of days and escapes collision with Reading, will no doubt be more successful than when it " dragged its slow lengtn along" over a third afternoon. Fer a meeting that dates back so long in the Calendar Wolverhampton has not thrived so much as ought to be expected, in comparison with other gather- ings of a younger growth. The entries on this occasion, how- ever, to say the least, are respectable, and include the names of most of the horses in training in the midland stables, and if the denizens of the mines and the Wolverhampton folks are amused the object of the meeting will have been accomplished. The bill of fare presents half- a- dozen items each day for deci- sion, headed by the Patshull Handicap, for which Elfrida and Odd Trick, I think, have the best right to be backed. The Wrottesley Stakes for two year olds has seven nomina- tions, of which Lady Coningham has most attractions for me. A Produce Stakes, with seventeen entries, appears likely to be carried off by Shirah. The Wolverhampton Stakes has twenty- one acceptances, and, but for the sudden development of Gunboat's merits at Good- wood, there was every propability of the handicap furnishing a good race. But at present " the attack" of the Gunboat upon these stakes must appear to your readers to be almost irre- sistible. If the latter's colours are lowered it will be by Oakball. On Tuesday the Holyoake Stakes is the primary event on the card, and of course the decision of the judge will be much in- fluenced by the running in the Wolverhampton Stakes ; but I have an idea the contest will rest between Master Bagot and Queen Bess. The Chillington Stakes has fifteen two year olds entered for it, and although Mainstay and Kelpie both carry penalties, I con" ceive they will be found superior to the rest of the field. ° The Cleveland Cup, with its numerous conditions and penal- ties, has met with but slender patronage, and, calculating upo^ the absence ofFisherman. I shall look for the winner in Oakfcal or Sir Colin.- Yours, & o, OBSERVER.

Wrestler ( who was so com pletely overpaced in the early part that Hughes was almost pulling him up at the last turn) now began to get on better terms with his horses, and catching them at every stride joined issue with the leaders in the last twenty yards, and won one of the closest races ever seen by a neck, a head each separating second, third, and fourth ; Pavilion finished as far behind the fourth, about a neck in advance of Melita, close up with whom was Woodmite.

Hartley Buck went iu front after the first dozen strides, and cut out the work at a good pace, followed by Border Chief, Hobgoblin and Somerset lying next, side by side, and Triton last. This order was maintained for nearly a mile, when Hobgoblin and Border Chief changed places, and Somerset fell back in company with King of the Forest, both of whom were out of the race at the last turn. Border Chief dropped off on descending the hill, and left the issue to the Buck and Hobgoblin, but it was never in doubt, the favourite, without being headed, winning in the commonest of canters by a length, wide intervals between the others.

The Psyche filly dropped off in the dip, and in rising the hill Miss Waters was headed by Orchehill; Grand Duchess, Rocket, and Aocurate at the same time improving their positions. Half- way in the dis- tance this lot closed, and ran a splendid race home, Orchehill winning by a neck, and a head each separating second, third, and fourth ; Rocket was fifth, about half a length behind Count Batthyany's colt, Grand Duchess sixth, close up with him, and the other two tailed off.

Judge: Mr Clark. Starter: Mr Hibberd. Clerk of the Scales: Mr Manning. No meeting of its class presents fewer features for introduc- t0ry notice than that annually held at the " Queen of English watering piaces," and partaking as it does of the character of a rechauffee of Goodwood— a recreative rather than a business reunion.. we are saved the task of inflicting a lengthened report upon our readers. The characteristics of the meeting were pre- cisely the same as last year, and favoured as it was by delightful weather the Race Committee have every reason to be satisfied with the result in a pecuniary point of view. For several seasons past we have pointed out the necessity of effecting various im- provements upon the course, but beyond the erection of nearly half a mile of new rails nothing whatever has been done. The wretched hovel known as the Stewards' Stand remains aii eye- sore and disgrace to the place, and it behoves the authorities t0 prove to the Stewards and other aristocratic supporters of the meeting that they are not altogether regardless of their com. fort and convenience, by erecting a new building similar to the private stand at York, which would cost a mere trifle; and as the subject has again been brought to the notice of the Com- mittee by Admiral Rous we hope the improvement will be carried out. The complaints formerly made respecting the state of the course no longer exist. antl great credit is due to Mr Stocken, the honorary secretary, for the care and attention he has devoted to the running ground throughout the winter. Prom want of rain it was naturally hard after the recent gloriou8 harvest weather, and to that drawback, rather than the counter attractions of other minor meetings, or any shortcomings in the programme, must be attributed the small number of horses at Brighton, and consequent paucity of the fields except for two or three races. The programme, as " worked up" by Mr Dorling, held out flattering prospects of two days' capital sport, each comprising half a dozen engagements, to most of which the entries were exceedingly good. The attendance on the first day was scarcely up to the average, owing to the unpro- pitious state of the morning, but it nevertheless included many of the leading patrons of the Turf, and a great many ladies. The Ring invariably musters numerously here, but compared with the previous week their operations were rather limited, though at the same time sufficiently extensive to " knock holes" into the Goodwood winnings of most of the bookmakers, owing to the success of so many favourites. The sports commenced with the Bristol Plate, for which nine ofthe eleven handicapped went to the post. Strawberry was the favourite, but being some- what out of season, Tame Deer won easily— venison, in August being far preferable even to " British Queens." The Nursery, which brought out seven runners, was a wonder- ful specimen of handicapping, asd produced one of the closest races ever seen. Plumstone, iu the same stable as the previous winner, was the selection of the " talents," but he proved unworthy of the distinction, and Wrestler, who finished before him in the Goodwood Nursery, confirmed the truth of that per- formance to- day. As a proof of the glorious uncertainty of racing we should state that the winner was so completely over- paced directly after starting that David Hughes almost pulled him up at the last turn; but finding the horse go better as he warmed, the jockey changed his mind, and Wrestler, after an exciting struggle, proved victorious in the " final fall." The Brighton Stakes was a mere repetition of last year's race, when the same number started, and the favourite— an old'un " turned loose"— made play from end to end as on this occasion. The telegraph annonnced half a dozen runners, one of which Hob- goblin ( sold out of the Danebury stable since Goodwood) was not on the card. Hartly Buck and Somerset diuided the fa- vouritism in the Ring, but they were separated in the race by Hobgoblin, who, with a stronger boy up, ran better than in the Goodwood Stakes, whilst Somerset, on the other hand, " could not go a bit." That the latter obtained third place in the Stakes on sufferance only is appareat by the hollow style in which Hartly Buck won to- day, and the " lame excuse" is not likely to benefit the winner ia future handicaps, we take jt, la the Southdown Stakes which followed, a " pot" on tJnexpected was upset by Sorceress, for whom the bid- ding at tho hammer was so spirited that the Fund realised 150 guineas by her sale. A field of half a dozen went to the post for the Three Year Old Biennial, and at the commencement of the betting Blue Jacket was the favourite, but the horse Walked so lame when he entered the saddling in- closure, and looked so " jolly" into the bargain, that the odds changed in favour of Commotion, who won easily. 1,000 to 25 was afterwards laid against Tournament and Blue Jacket ( coupled), for the Leger. The racing terminated— nearly an hour behind time— witli the Marine Plate, which resulted in the easy victory of Raven, for whose success, as well as that of Hartley Buck in the Stakes, our correspondent " Observer" last week prepared his readers. Very little betting took place on future events, aud the only trensactions that came to our knowledge were tee following:— 5 to 1 agst Mongrel, 100 to 8 agst Tasmania, and 200 to 12 agst Maid of Derweut for the Ebor Handicap; 150 to 50 agst Vedette, and 150 to 50 agst Saunterer for the Great Yorkshire Stakes. Thursday is always considered the " grand day" at Brighton, and the attendance, both in numbers and brilliancy, far sur- passed that of yesterday, the Grand Stand being literally crowded with ladies. A terrific thunderstorm passed over the district about midnight, and the heavy rain which fell, though causing considerable injury it is to be feared to the unhoused crops, proved quite a refresher to the parched up turf. The sport exhibited a falling off upon that of the previous day, and the long intervals between the races caused the time to hang heavily upon all hands. The opening event was the Grand Stand Plate, which turned out the " good thing" it looked on paper for Nereus, who commenced the day inauspiciously for the fielders. In the Sussex Stakes Lady Coningham, another favourite, repaid Captain Christie the first time of asking, and the j Upon changed hands a third time within two days! The Ohevalier d'Industrie next walked over for the Cup, the conditions of which ought to be remodelled, considering the failure of the race year after year ; and then succeeded a couple of sporting contests which in some degree relieved the previous dullness. Three runners were telegraphed for the Two Year Old Biennial, and The Farmer's Son was strongly fancied, but the Newmarket " yokel" never had a chance with Deceiver, who won without being extended. The Champagne Stakes was the heaviest betting race of the week, and the running of Theodora and Tournament in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood caused their meeting to- day to be regarded with intepise interest. The mare met Tournament OH 21b better terms, aud was so freely sup- ported by such a powerful party, that the backers of the horse began torecallthefateofTheodora— favouriteforthisracelastyear. Both being nervous animals the two " cracks" proceeded direct to the starting post without entering the saddling paddock, and were at length joined by Schiedam. The race, which was never in doubt, resulted in the easy victory of Tournament, after a mock struggle with Schiedam, who, like Pavilion, proved a good friend to the bookmakers, by winning the money that was betted about placing the lot in each race. 25 to 1 was afterwards taken about Tournament for the Leger, and 1,000 to 25 about Sir Colin. Four numbers were at first telegraphed for the Pavilion Plate, but only Raven and Katherine Logie went to the post, and the '' black ' un'' accomplished his second victory almos t as easily as the first. Every favourite won to- day, and several bets of 100 to 3 and 30 to 1 against naming all the winners came off against the layers! In the course of the evening several book- makers mustered in front of the Old Ship Hotel, and a little sporting wagering took place on the Ebor Handicap and Doncaster St'Leger. For the former race, Mongrel was driven back to 9 tol, but the horse afterwards returned to his former price, aud left off firm at 6 to 1 ( takers). 800 to 100 each was taken about Tasmania and Warlock, and the same price about Underhand. 700 to 200 was laid agst Ignoramus for the Leger, 1,000 to 60 agst Arsenal, and 2,000 to 100 four or five times agst Tournament, WEDNESDAY, AUG 5— The BRISTOL PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs ; one mile.

They rau thus to the half- mile post, after passing which Waterer beat a retreat, and left the lead with Refreshment, who was deprived of it in the bottom by Tame Deer. Strawberry now began to draw forward, and inside took second place, but failed to reach Tame Deer, who won in a canter by a length, Naughty Boy beating Strawberry on sufferance by three quarters, Kestrel was a pretty good fourth, and at a clear interval from him Nereus was fifth, and Refreshment sixth, Hebe being last throughout.

At the foot of the hill Maid of Athena retired, and the running was taken up by Commotion, who disposed of Blue Jacket's challenge at tke stand and won cleverly by a neck, Plus'n colt, who passed the mare below the distance, finishing a bad third; the others being pulled up were beaten a long way.

The start was preceded by two failures, Rotterdam breaking away in the first, and The Baker and several others in the second. The light weight, who ran away with his jockey beforehand, galloped the course through, and caused a delay of a quarter of an hour. W hen the flag fell, Lady Hercules jumped off with the lead, followed by Miss Waters and Media, Noce to the foot of the hill, when the two latter were passed by Raven and Katherine Logie, who had been following them; and in this order the race finished, the favourite winning in a canter by half a length; Lady Hercules was beaten three lengths from the second, and Intimidation ( fourth) as far from her, Ruth being next, and the rest tailed off.

After passing the distance Pritchard drew his mare back, and ran level with the other two until within half- a- dozen strides of the chair, when she shot out and won by a head, the second beating the third by the same; Inspiration was a bad fourth, and the Lothario colt, who knocked down a boy opposite the Stand, tailed off.

Run in Imin BRIGHTON CLUB MEETING-, Steward: Marquis of Anglesey. FRIDAY, AUG 7.— Unfortunately for the enjoyment OF the capital day's sport provided for the Club anniversary, the weather, so fine on the two previous days, underwent an unfavourable change during the night, and a great deal of heavy rain fell. The morning was cloudy and dull, but the rain kept off, and there was every promise of a fine afternoon until within a short time of the commencement of the racing, when the clouds again dispersed their watery contents, and frequent showers fell during the racing, thereby making things anything but pleasant to those who ventured to the Downs unprepared for the bad weather which invariably attends the Club's meet ings here. Notwithstanding this drawback, however, there was a better attendance than usual on the last day, and the amount of sport fully compensated for other drawbacks. The card embraced nine items, eight of which produced contests. The members of the Club " sported silk" in two only, which turned out sorry affairs, Mabel repeating her victory of last year in the £ 70 Plate, whilst the Club Stakes was carried off by Lymington. Orchehill won one of the two £ 100 Plates, after a very fine struggle, in which the favourite, Rocket, took no very prominent part, and the other brought out Mabel a second time a winner. Wilton won the Biennial, Orianda the Selling Plate, and? Ruth that for the beaten horses, with which latter performance the proceedings terminated much more satisfac- torily to the fielders than on the previous day. The sum realised by the sales of the winners of the two selling races amounted to 80 guineas, to which Lady Conyngham contributed 70 guineas, and Orianda only a " tenner!" At the annual meeting of the Club yesterday Mr Ten Broeck, the owner of the American horses, was elected an honorary member.

The maro rolled over her jockey, who was severely stunned, aud cut about the face, and was herself considerably injured. Directly afterwards Forlorn Hope bolted, and leaped the rails, but escaped without injury either to horse or jockey. Riga now was left in possession of the lead, with Fairystone second, and Thames Darrell third, till reaching the distance, where Fairystone took up the runnings and won easily by half a length; second beating the third a length and a half.

Clerk of the Course: Mr J. H. Peart. Since this meeting has been under the management of Mr Peart, it has made " strong running," and this year exhibited a well- filled list, the Studley Plate, a new all- aged race, having attracted seventeen entries. The added money has been in- creased since last year to close upon 400 sovs, which shows great liberality upon the part of the committee, aud if they con- tinue to give this sum the meeting will go on most prosperously. The sport opened with the Trial, for which Heme was a great " pot," but it was upset by Codrington, who, after disappoint- ing his owner on several occasions, to his surprise won to- day. Vandal pulled through the Handicap, after a severe race for the last quarter of a mile, and the Two Year Old Stake was also near going into the Wkitewall stables by tke aid of Cheery Chap, who had tee. best of it until within a few strides of the chair, when Aldcroft landed Terrific the winner by a short neck. The at- tendance was very great, but the course was as hard as flint. The Great Northern Nursery brought out the largest field of the meeting, and Conductor, the winner of the Nursery at Liver- pool, was a " pot." The race, however, was carried off, after a fine contest, by Satinstone, trained by Tom Dawson, who also won it last year with Red White and Blue. An accident occurred in the race for the Innkeepers' Place, which might have been attended with fatal results. It is an a wkward turn were it oc- curred, and we hope the committee will improve it before next year. The attendance on the second day was greatly below the first, but the sport was good, aud in the absence of Mr Johnson, at the North Staffordshire Meeting, Mr Richardson, of York, officiated as judge.

Jeremy Diddler was a goad fourth, Red- car fifth, and Assailant next.

In this order they ran for the first half mile, when Tiff bore her colours to the front, but was beaten at the last turn, when Vandal took the lead, and won after a severe race by half a length; King of the Gipsies beating Tiff for second money by three lengths; Janet a bad fourth.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RACES. Stewards: W. T. Copeland, Esq, M. P. ; Charles Smith, Esq. Judge and Handicapper: Mr R. Johnson. Clerk of the Course : Mr George Stanway. The pleasant meeting at Stoke- upon- Trent introduced, on Tuesday last, the customary round of festivities patent to the Potteries in the opening week of August. " Left blooming alone," as relates to the retention of sport in North Stafford- shire, the return of these races is loudly welcomed by the industrious thousands for whose recreation they are mainly kept going. The well- known liberality of Mr Copeland in sus « taining and personally superintending the management of the meeting seems at length to have stimulated the sporting men of Burslem, who on this occasion contributed an attractive han- dicap race, and named it after their locality. Capital entries fer the latter, as well as for " the Copeland," and other items, completed the best list we remember being produced here, and, though bringing only small fields to the post, left nothing wanting in the way of competition. Magnificent weather, too, each day favoured the attendances, which outnumbered former monster gatherings. The best order, notwithstanding, was pre- served by Superintendent Sweeting and his force, and luckily no accident of serious tendency occurred. On Tuesday, it will be seen, an exciting struggle for the chief event resulted curiously enough in a dead heat between Hamlet and Desde- mona, the proceedings otherwise presenting nothing calling for comment here. In reference to the Ladies Plate, it may, how- ever, be mentioned, that iu addition to the usual 25 sovs for the winner, the committee purchased a splendid dinner service for presentation to the winner's trainer. It was essentially a " sporting service," being decorated in every available part with faithful and beautifully executed representations of racing, hunting, and field sports generally. There, however, are not two opinions that had Lawn not been left behind through the han- diwork of a non- professional starter, this unique production of the potter arad painter's art, would now have graced the Shiffnall tables. A splendid tea- set was also given to Dales, both presents reflecting the highest credit to this world- renowned mart for china and ware. On Wednesday, after a large party of gentle* men and others connected with the Turf had partaken of the alderman's hospitality at his mansion, the sports were resumed at half- past two with the Borough Members" Plate. In the Burslem Handicap which succeeded, the triumph of Duchess of Sutherland created such a furore amongst the Newcastle- under- Lyne division that will not be readily for- gotten. Men literally screamed like untamed Indians, and for more than ten minutes tore about like mad- uns broke loose from an asylum, a second edition of which performance being even more ridiculous than the first, when " ail right" sounded from the weighing apartment. More sensible applause greeted Mr Copeland's success with Salmon for the Innkeepers' Plate; but the event of the day turned up in the defeat of an immense " pot" on Kenerdy for the handicap ( annually given by the last- named gentleman) by the Lady Jersey colt, who, after the race, was named Lord Jersey. A bit of hurdle jumping terminated a right merry and satisfactory meeting, the entire conduct of which was creditable to the officials, mere particularly so to the pains- taking and respected clerk, Mr George Stanway. TUESDAY, AUG 4.— The TRADESMEN'S PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, 3 ft; winners of any handi- cap after the weights were out of thevalue of 50 sovs 5lb, twice 50 or 100 sovs 71b extra; the winner to pay 5 sovs towards ex- penses ; the second to save his stake; about one mile; 11 subs.

Copeland's Silkmore, 3 yrs, 6st 31b Moorhouse 5 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Desdemona, 5 to 2 agst Salonica, 3 to 1 agst Oakball, and 5 to 1 each agst the others. The running was made by Desdemona, who for about half a mile was followed in the order named by Salonica, Oakball, and Siikmore. Salonica then showed in advance, the light- weight became second, the favou- rite going on third, Oakball next, and Hamlet in the rear. No further change occurred until turning into the straight the last time, when the lot drew together and the lead was retaken by Desdemona, upon whom it looked odds to the Stand, opposite whioh Dales brought up Hamlet with a rush, reached the mare in the last stride, and made a dead heat of it. Salonica was beaten a length from the leaders, Oakball and Silkmore finishing close up with him. Afterwards the owners divided, and Desde- mona walked over. The LADIES' PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Handicap of 3 sovs each, for all ages; winners of any handicap since the weights were out of the value of 50 sovs 5lb, twice 50 or 100 sovs 71b extra ; the winner to pay 5 sovs to the fund: once round and a distance ; 17 subs.

Smethurst 5 Mr T, James's ch g Conrad, aged, 7st 61b J. Hall 6 Betting : 7 to 4 sgst Lawn, 2 to 1 agst Jack Spring, aud 3 to 1 agst St Dunstan. Getting the best of a wretched start, the fa- vourite being at least a dozen lengths in the rear when the flag fell, Conrad made play for about two hundred yards, when Duchess of Sutherland rushed to the front. At the distance she was joined by Lawn and St Dunstan, a splendid struggle home between this trio resulting in favour of the filly( who held the lead all the way up) by a neck, and tho second beat the third by the same ; Salonica a good fourth, Jack Spring well up with the latter. Our Sal als ® losing start, and who had not quite re- covered from an injury to her hind- quarters received at Newton, fell from sheer distress, and it is douhtful that she will run again. WEDNESDAY.— The BOROUGH MEMBERS' PLATE of 50 sovss added to Handicap of 5 sovs each, for two year olds ; winners of any stake after the weights appeared 5lb, of two or more 71b extra ; one mile ; 8 subs.

Walters 5 Betting : 6 to 4 agsc Apollo, and 3 to 1 each agst Lincoln Toms the Margaret of Anjou colt, and English Rose. The start was delayed through the latter thrice breaking away, the last time striking with her chest the enclosure fence, in a vain attempt to jump it. She was several lengths from her horses when the signal was given, the Manilla filly jumping off in front, waited on to the last turn by the favourite, who there deprived her of the lead, and won easily by half a length ; a length between second and third ; bad fourth. The BUESLEM HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, with 100 added ; th ® second to save his stake, and the winner to pay 20 sovs towards expenses; winners of any handicap amounting to 100 sovs after the weights were published 71b, of two of that value or one of 200 sovs 10lb extra; one mile and three quar- ters ; 10 subs.

The Lalla Rookh was built at Poole last year and was no mean antagonist to the Gloriana in the match for the Queen s Cup last season, and the Zouave was the production of inman this year. With respect to the Gem, she belonged to the old school, and it was well understood had merely entered to comply with the imperative condition of having three to start or no race. That there were no other entries amid such a number ef yacht schooners was somewhat to be lamented, but this regret has been amply made up by the forthcoming private match between the Ceciie, Marquis Conyngham, Fancy, Marquis of Drogheda, Lancashire Witch, L. Palk, Esq, and the Eugenie, K, F rankland, Esq, which came off on Thursday. The weather was beautifully fine and wore a promising appearance of a good si sport, there being a fine breeze from the westward, which it was expected would increase as the sun obtained his meridian altitude. In this those who witnessed the match were not disappointed. The usual preparatory signals having been made to take stations, at 10 a. m. the starting gun was fired and the yacnts slipped from their mooring buoys, and proceeded to the eastward, passing through Cowes Roads, the Lalla Rookh taking the lead until abreast of Old Castle Point, when the Zouave shot ahead and passed between her opponent and the island. There was a light breeze from the W. S. W. in the vicinity, but " up along" the wind was variable and paltry, and at times manifested itself in the north- west quarter. Each vessel presented a crowd of canvas— balloon jibs and huge top- sails were in requisition, and swelled out as" the yachts pro- gressed towards the Motherbank, and after a lengthened hour s struggle against tide they found themselves in the qua- rantine ground, and at 11: 10 were abreast the Lazaretto ship, Zouave having the lead inshore, edging the bank and thereby shunning the tide, which was running strong to the westward in mid channel. The waters of Ryde were entirely deserted by the yachts, and only a solitary coal hulk was visible— the several yachts, even the Commodore's, of the Royal Victoria, had fled to Cowes to add eclat to the day. At 11: 24 the contending yachts were off Binstead, . slowly coming up under their goosewings, each about two cables' length from the other, the Zouave still holding her position as the leading vessel, followed by the Lalla Rookh, and the Beatrice and a few other yachts forming a back- ground for the artist. On arriving at Svde our correspondent availed himself of the excursion steamer Her Majesty, Castain Crask, to whose courtesy we have often been indebted, whereby every little incident in the matches has been thus noted. By this time the yachts were in the neighbourhood, and passed the pier head as under :— age st lb New Brighton.. a.. 9 2 Indulgence .... 4.. 6 12 Sea Lark 8.. 6 10 Fiction S.. 6 9 Polish 8.. 6 8 John Peel. 8.. 6 7 age st lb Hebe 2.. 5 7 Miss Waters .. 2.. 5 7 Milita 2.. 5 4 B c by Lothario — Gloriana .. 2.. 5 0 age st lb West End 3.. 6 5 Raffle 3.. 6 5 Jack Horner .. 2.. 6 0 The Fordwich Witch 2.. 6 0 Whitsuntide .. 2 .5 7 The LANDPOET STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 25 added ; for three year olds and upwards ; weights for age, with selling allow- ances, & c; one mile.

The return of the month of August brings with it the annual festival of the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes. Previous to the last year the regatta of this club invariably occurred about the third week iu August, or rather the few days before and after the 17th of the month— the natal anniversary of her Royal High, ness the Duches of Kent, But last year it was resolved otherwise in consequence of the Royal Western matches following so closely on those of the Solent, which prevented the yachts of the Royaj Yacht Squadron and other clubs getting to the westward in time to be present at Plymouth, which regatta usually took place on the 26th. In order to remove that inconvenience it was arranged last year by the Commodore and the members that, with the approbation of her most gracious Majesty, the squadron's re- gatta should henceforth take place during the first week in the month, being the week after the Goodwood races, and in accord- ance with the royal authority last year's regatta commenced on Tuesday, Aug 5, and terminated on Monday, the 11th. This season the same period was allotted for the event to come off, according to the " standing orders." We have thus explained the matter that the public may not be led away by the state- ments which have appeared in the daily journals, " that the Cowes Regatta had been fixed to come off earlier than usual, in consequence of the anticipated arrival at Osborne of her Majesty's illustrious visitors, the Emperor and Empress of the French," whereas, iu fa « t, the arrangements were made long previous to any anticipation of such a visit, and the programme duly an- nounced. It having subsequently been ascertained that their Imperial Majesties would arrive at Osborne House on the 6th, the day on which her Majesty's Cup was announced to be sailed for, the noble Commodore of the squadron, the Earl of Wilton, submitted the programme to the royal patrons, and it was judged advisable to postpone tbe arrange- ment of Thursday— the Queen'sCup day— until the following day, which would afford the royal and imperial families the oppor- tunity of honsuring the " grand day" by their presence, no alteration being made in reference to the match for the Prince Consort's Cup, which was to take place on the Tuesday, as named in the programme. The revised document therefore was ordered to stand as follows:— Tuesday, Prince Consort's Cup; Wednesday, the annual dianer; Thursday, the town amuse- ments, private matches between the R. Y. S, schooners, fireworks in the evening; Friday, Her Majesty's Cup; Saturday, R. Y. S. prize of £ 30 for royal yachts, English or foreign. Thus it will be seen there is a splendid bill of farts before the public, and that no material alterations have occurred in the arrangement of the regatta, which will have taken place as usual. In consequence of two of the matches occurring on the Friday and Saturday, we shall be prevented giving a full report of the same until the next issue, but hope to be enabled to lay before our yachting patrons the results. The anticipated visit of their Imperial Majesties at Osborne, as the illustrious guests of the Sovereign and Prince Consort, and the brilliant cortbge which must necessarily ac- company the courts of Versailles and St James's at her Mar jesty's marine retreat, will no doubt bring an influx of visitors, both English and foreign; and among the latter we may mention ( that on Monday there arrived here several of the French police and English detectives; but Cowes, up to the present week, has to lament the paucity of fashion- ables, to the detriment of the coffers of the hotels and lodging- house keepers, and, in fact, the tradesmen in general, whose chief dependence rests on a " good season." At no former period within our recollection, during the last quarter of a century, has there been such a dearth of company as up to the first day of the regatta. Some attribute it to the prolonged session of Parliament, to the Manchester Exhibition, and to the Agricultural Show at Salisbury; but, more truthfully and honestly, may we mention, that Cowes of itself has most cer- tainly no recommendation beyond the attraction which nature alone has given to the locality. In that respect no place on the sea board offers greater facilities for yachting than the quiet waters of the Solent; and Cowes itself is the centre thereof, aud offers security to shipping. But while eulogising the beneficent hand with which nature has lavished beauties on the place, we cannot but remark that the minds of its inhabitants have not kept pace with the march of progress, or made any stride to- wards improvement. And Cowes continues to be Cowes as it was known to the world half a century back; celebrated for its serpentine street, and its inconvenient approaches, the public having only ingress and egr# 3s to and from it on the sufferance of a private quay. Some few public- spirited individuals have, during the present year, endeavoured to arouse the lethargic and dormant faculties of its rulers to a sense of their degrada- tion, in the hope that brighter days might dawn, and that it might still hope to become equal, if not superior, to its neigh- bour, Ryde. The want of a public pier and convenient landing, place in the vicinity of the fashionable parade has long been felt, and it is generally believed that nothing but" a pier" will enhance its importance. Even the predecessors of the local board by which it is ruled foresaw the difficulties under which Cowes laboured, and obtained, so far back as 1816, an act of Parliament to erect a public landing- place in the immediate vicinity, but selfish interests have been a bar to developing the resources which Nature has provided, and the only result obtained from the late movement has been a bitter feeling between the leaders of progress aud its opponents. To suck local bickerings is Cowes mainly indebted for its hide- bound territory, and those who were once its patrons have been driven to seek summer abodes elsewhere. With these remarks we proceed to narrate the events of the regatta week as they have occurred, up to the last moment. We may premise the same by saying that yachts are daily flocking to the rendezvous, and that there are now nearly eighty of them, of various rig, size, and tonnage, off the town, Among the names most promi- nent to us are the following schooners :— YACHT, OWN1B, FANCY Marquis of Drogheda TETANIA R. Stephenson, Esq, M. P. ZARA Commodore the Earl of Wilton UEANIA Sir Alexander Bannerman MAGIC S. Block, Esq BRILLIANT G. H. Ackers, Esq CECILE Marquis of Conyngham EUGENIE Richard Frankland, Esq ENCHANTBESS Sir Thomas Whichcote LQIUS Earl Vane CAIMAN H. Ormsby Rose, Esq LANCASHIRE WITCH Lawrence Palk, Esq BEATRICE Jolm E.

Jones, Esq Antelope, Wizard, Miriam, Sappho, Extravaganza, cum multis aliis, too numerous to mention, besides the royal yachts Victoria and Albert, Fairy, and Elfin, which are at their moorings, and form no inconsiderable feature in the panorama before us. TUESDAY, AUG 4.— MATCH for his Royal Highness the PRINCE CONSORT'S CUP, to be sailed for by schooners under 200 tons, belonging to the squadron. The Queen's Course, viz, from Cowes to the eastward, outside the Noman, thence round the Nab light vessel, and back to the westward, round a flag- boat off Yarmouth, thence returning to Cowes, passing between the sta- tion vessel and Cowes Castle to win. Three to start or no race; distance about 42 miles. The following were the entries :— NAME. TONS, OWNEB, GEM 125 Sir J. B. Mill, Bart. LALLA ROOKH 125 Viscount Bangor. ZOUAVE 105 .... Richard Arabin, Esq. It being known that the two latter vessels had entered for the H. M. S. LALLA ROOKH. ... 11 32 5 A distance in time but not in space, owing to the wind vexa- tiously dropping as the latter vessel approached. At times each of them suffered a momentary discomfiture of a calm, and theu a catspaw, and with this tantalising feature each vessel fre- quently changed positions. Lalla now takes the " catspaw," and crept up to the Zouave when abreast of her owner's man- sion, aud succeeded in passing inshore of her, and to windward, but this was a momentary triumph, as she soon afterwards ran into a calm. At 11: 45 Zouave took a breeze, and eventually per- formed a similar manoeuvre aud passed inside the Lalla Rookh and took the weather position by a length. Again there was a lull, then a breeze, which the Zouave seemed to accept and walked again away from her antagonist. Both vessels edged in so close to the sands, that it was only with the superior knowledge of the locality that the respective masters did not wait there until the breeze overtook them. The elements for the next quarter of an hour appeared undecided, aud became very paltry, but the sun had BO sooner reached the zenith than a fine breeze sprang up from the southward and westward, and gradually freshened. The yachts having availed themselves of^ Eolus' small favours, passed the sandheads— H. M. S. I H. M. s. ZOUAVE 12 2 501 LALLA KOOKH .... 12 8 88 There was now a rattling breeze, and several yachts were ob- served wending their way to the exciting scene. Off Spring Vale the Zouave was still carrying her huge balloon jib, from the pressure of which on her boom the bobstay gave way, but this was promptly remedied by her crew getting out a preventer. It was now difficult to judge which would be the leading vessel, so nearly equal were their sailing qualities ; neither seemed to in- crease or lessen the breach between them. Off Sea View the Zouave was two minutes in advance of the Lalla Rookh. The passage of both vessels through the water was the admiration of ail on board the excursion vessel, in which were several yachting gents. Of the pair Zouave seemed to glide through without a ripple, Lalla Rookh showing a great deal of white about the gills; nevertheless she now momentarily threatened to pass her. An- other moment and the breeze dropped, and their canvas hung down in graceful folds. Again each took the breeze, Lalla comes up to the Zouave on her starboard quarter, which latter seemed to feel her close proximity, and the breeze favouring her, away she went, and was again about two lengths in advance. Zouave, of the two, seemed to be quicker in movement. At length they reached the Noman, and the buoy was passed as follows:— ZOUAVE S' 19 481 LALLA 12' 20 17 They now hauled their wind and shaped their course for tho Nab, aud the breeze freshened and became steady as the yachts opened the blue water— it was, " carry on, but stand by the hal- yards." From the pressure of the ballooner on the boom Zouave again carried away her preventer, which, as soon as cir- cumstances permitted, was again rectified. She, nevertheless, p « r3evered in keeping the sail out, while the Lalla Rookh was running snug under a smaller jib, and fast overhauling her oppo- nent, and ultimately passed to windward of her like a shot. They still continued to carry with them a strong breeze, which, as they approached the Nab, continued to freshen, and as they opened the Brading water was somewhat puffy, but they con- tinued on without any mishap, and luffed round the light ship and jibed over the port tack in the following order, Greenwich mean time :— H. M. S. 1 H. SR. S, LALLA ROOKH 12 44 58 I ZOUAVE 12 46 18 The former being but lmin. 25sec, in advance. Shortly after rounding the eastern limit of the course the Lalla Rookh had some mishap with her jib, but it was soon remedied, and upon coming up with her we observed she had also got out a preventer bobstay. Breeze steadily increasing, and there were now some thirty yachts in company, which had followed them, and hove- to to witness their rounding the Nab, which having seen they put about and became the advance escort. Shortly after bearing up a yaeht carrying the Royal Thames burgee was descried in a dilemma, her mast, spars, and sails having gone by the board from sheer pressure, and was a perfect wreck. Several yachts bore down to her assistance, as did also " Her Majesty," the steamer, who hailed her, aud found her to be the Will- o'- th'- Wisp, G. Taylor, Esq, with a party on board, but there was no one hurt. Upon observing the Firefly steam yacht, Sir Henry Oglander, Bart, and the Beatrice schooner, J. W. Rolls, Esq, close at hand, the excursion vessel proceeded on her course. We subsequently ascertained that on the Will- o'- th'- Wisp, putting abeut, the whole of the chain plates gave way and the mast went by the board, and fell on deck, breaking in the wake of the spider hoop and under masthead, the boom and sails hanging in the water. The Firefly took her in tow, and carried her prize to Cowes, where she remains under the doctorship of Spenser and Barnes ; she will be again ready for sea next week. Returning to the match, we came up with the racing craft off the Noman, which they passed at 1: 10, the Lalla Rookh leading by four minutes ; the Zouave, meanwhile, had doused her fore- topsail and set another jib ; from hence they hauled their wind for the westward, and returned on the port tack, laying their reach down to Cowes, and without making a tack; strong breeze from south- west. In the run from the Nab to the Noman the Lalla Rookh had the advantage, but in light winds the Zouave was the better vessel: she seemed, however, to sail by the head, and the after leach of her mainsail was continually shaking. On passing the N. W. buoy of the Stourbridge we timed them as follows:— H « M. S « I H M. S LALLA ROOKH l is' 41 ZOUAVE l" 23* 35' A difference of five minutes and a half. The scene was now magnificent, there being no less than forty- eight yachts in company. Zouave now took in her fore- gaff topsail, and housed her topmast. The Lalla continued on under both her topsails, and in this manner they stood on to Standsore Bay, on the north shore of the Solent, passing the royal yacht in Cowes roads— H. M. S. I H. M. S. LALLA ROOKH 2 4 o| ZOUAVE 2 8 20 The latter, ou nearing Cowes, sent up her topmast, and set the sail. At 2: 15 the Zouave tacked, and reached in towards Egypt Point. The Lalla followed her example, and fetched in towards the Vale, about half a mile to windward. At 2: 21 they again tacked, and worked down the west channel uuder the island, the flood making up strong iji midchannel. At 3: 30 they were abreast of Thorness. The wind now dropped, but there was still a pleasant breeze from the westward, which enabled them to work over the tide. After making several short tacks along the island, the Lalla stood over towards the north shore, shaving the edge of the mud, and, when abreast of Pilewell, was observed hard and fast OH the spit, but her stay therev was only momentary— all hands were soon out at the bowsprit and boom end, and after hanging a few seconds she dragged herself off. Had it been on a falling tide she would have inevit- ably remained. From this time each appeared to watch the other's movements, and it was now tack for tack— and while lying along the edge of the mud the hand- lead was kept con- stantly going, and when too near to be comfortable about they went, until they had reached sufficiently far to the southward and westward to weather the station- vessel off Yarmouth, and this was accomplished as follows :— H. M. s. I H. M. s. LALLA ROOKH 5 43 40 | ZOUAVE 5 47 40 From hence the tide became favourable for their return, and without any further incident worth noting beyond ^ he recourse to all the canvas they could spread, they arrived at the goal as follows :— H. M. s. I H. M. s. LALLA ROOKH 6 85 xo | ZOUAVE 6 39 0 Thus terminated a most interesting match, performed at times under very trying circumstances on the passage down the east channel, owing to the paltry weather, but more equal sail- ing under every circumstance it has not been our lot to witness — the only advantage which the Lalla had over the Zouave may be put down to her superior tonnage. In closing our report of the race we cannot omit one remark, lest the same might find its way through other channels of information, that we did most certainly observe the station- vessel off Yarmouth take * most extraordinary sheer, which enabled the first vessel to get round without fouling her. The fact was observed and remarks made by every one on board the excursion vessel, and had it not been for the sheer it was impossible for the Lalla to have got round without making another short tack, not having stood far enough over on the previous tack before going about to weather. Whether the helm was put te port or more cable paid out, we are not in a position to declare, THURSDAY, AUG 6.— PRIVATE MATCH— Course, from off the R. Y. S. Castle to the eastward round the Nab Light Vessel, thence round the Lepe Buoy, leaving both on the starboard hand, returning off the R. Y. S. Castle. YACHT. TONS. OWNEB. 1.

The weather in the morning did not forbode any very cheering prospect; at 11 p. m. of yesterday and throughout the night the rain came down in torrents. The day, however, continued fine, with a light breeze from the westward. At 11 a. m. the yachts were started from their moorings ; the Ceciie took the lead and kept it throughout, and when off Ryde Pier was about half a mile in advance, the other three yachts close together; wind continued light, and very little progress was made. They, how- ever, succeeded in rounding the Nab Light vessel about 2 p. m., but it was not until 4: 45 they returned through Cowes Roads and proceeded towards the Lepe Buoy, the Fancy being the second vessel, Eugenie third, and Lancashire Witch last. The Ceciie and Fancy continued their course to the Lepe Buoy, and the other two gave in. The match was decided as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. CECILE 6 51 181 FANCY 1 24 0 The others not timed. During the afternoon the town amusements came off, in tbe presence of a large concourse of spectators, and appeared to give satisfaction. In consequence of the presence of their Imperial Majesties at Osborne, every yacht in the roadstead displayed the French colours at the fore, and at 4: 30 the Fairy steamed from Osborne to Cowes withtheFrench standard at the main, and was saluted by R. Y. S. battery with 21 guns, but we learn that their Majesties were not ou board. The royal yachts, Victoria and Albert, the Fairy, Elfin, her Majesty's steamers Devastation and Pylades, with a couple of gun- boats, all gaily dressed with flags, and displaying the French flag at the main, are lying off Osborne. The French yacht Reine Hortense, the Ariel, and La Corse have a similar compliment— the English displayed at their main.

The monthly dinner and meeting was held at the Marine Station, Rook Ferry, Liverpool, on Monday evening last, Com modora Lititledale presiding. Capt Mather, 4th Royal Lan cashi. iv- Militia, was elected a member, and Mr Geo. Montgomery, meroh rat, was proposed for membership. A new aud beautiful iron cutter- rigged yacht has just been launched from Mr Bras sey's yard, at Birkenhead. She is for Mr George Harrison, t member of the club, and may altogether be ranked as one of the best modelled and well- finished yachts which has been con- struct d at this port. She was launched all complete, with mast, rigging, sails, and ballast, auci we should think that she will bi a quick craft, particularly in moderate weather, and we hope the North Star will shine amid the other yachts of theclub.

ROYAL THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA- If it should bo objected that we have been rather in the habit of preluding our account of the great metropolitan aquatio festival with remarks and observations bordering some- what oil the gloomy, and tinged with a kind of melancholy fore- boding, it has arisen solely from the notion that such kind of notice, as differing from the usual way in which such accounts arc given to the public, would be likely to render good service both to the projectors of this regatta and to the rowing world, for whose especial benefit and pleasure the committee are yearly in the habit of expending so vast au amount of labour and money. We have done it with a viow of arousing the apathetic, we had almost said the unreasonable, who appear to think that such amusements are to be prepared for them and carried through in all their expensive and troublesome detail, while they have but to take ship for Putney ou the days set apart for tho sport, look listlessly on, and return home satisfied with everything, even with themselves, without in any way having borne any share in that which it should be the Londoners' pride to see foremost among the great sports of the country. O ti the first re establishment of the regatta In 1854, we called upon all classes to bear in mind that the troe then planted would require nou- rishment, without which it could never flourish for loug, and yet the account of the funds published no great while since, after throe regattas had taken place, each of which had given to the world an amount of sport unequalled in quality, and which had brought to the post excellent crews from all parts of England, clearly showed that people had been unmindful of the warning, and were careless what responsibility might fall upon the shoul- ders of those whose greatest care and anxiety should at most have extended to the appointments of the sports. Things have now, we believe, reached a climax, and the cloud that we saw darkening the horizon, the small black speck, must inevitably burst in storm, unless the public, aroused to the danger, at once set about au active co- operation with the committee ( should those gentlemen indeed be induced to try the experiment once again, which is perhaps more than doubtful), and begin by entering early on the campaign, and preparing the necessary stores for future movements. It is not many weeks since an en- tire abandonment of the regatta to its fate was seri- ously contemplated, and it is indeed difficult to say how long a period might elapse before any renewal might be attempted, and the consequent regrets would then no doubt be as keen as they certainly would be fruitless. On a further consideration of the matter the committee came to the patriotic resolution of once more running the gauntlet, but, in order to reduce as much as possible the heavy liabilities, they determined to compress the sports into two days, retaining the chief watermen's prizes, and some of those for amateurs, for which prizes were already on hand. That the committee may fairly add another success to those which have preceded few will attempt to dispute, though some may endeavour to see, in the somewhat reduced attendance of spectators, especially on the first day, a falling off in the general interest; we read this very differently, and attribute it solely to the days chosen, when the tide was much earlier than on previous occasions, thus prevent- ing that vast assemblage of small craft to which wo have been accustomed; but when it is remembered that the diminution in numbers was mostly owing to the absence of " the roughs," when it is borne in mind that the course was left comparatively clear for tho competing boats, aud that at no point were spectators inconveniently thronged, we imagine that the change will not have such disadvantage on its side as even to induce a different selection on another occasion. Those who had most reason to complain were the publicans on the banks and in the neighbourhood, and doubtless they found a great difference; but while their interests should not be altogether neglected, as they generally come forward with subscriptions, yet they must bear in mind that rowing is the direct object, and everything which tends to promote its interests and the fairness of competition is the main thing to be considered. Having said so much on be half of a continuation of the regatta, we have little space left for any remarks on the erews and men brought together this year to contend, but they are mostly pretty well known, and there- fore the entries will speak for themselves. The time of starting the races was tolerably kept; the inspectors of police did good service; Mr Maxwell of Custom House Stairs was as efficient as ever in manning and ordering the umpires' boats, and the water- men who rowed in them discharged their laborious duties cheer- fully and well. There was a good band on board a steam- boat for the subscribers and their friends, and outhe second day the Right Hon Lord Mayor came up in his state barge, adding not a little to the life and beauty of the scene. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday had beeu originally the days fixed, but, as already stated, it was fouud that two days would be sufficient, and ac- cordingly the first day was omitted, much to the disappointment of many'residents on the banks of the river, who had issued in- vitations to large parties for that day, and who had consequently to inventother amusements wherewith to entortain their friends. The regatta then commenced soon after one o'clock on Wednes- day last, and though several of the races in which trial heats were ro^ ved were not finished till the second day, we have in some cases given them consecutively.

It was ordered that a bail committee or stewards, consisting of the high- sheriff and sever& l other members of the club ( in all twenty- one), should be appointed for the ensuing regrsua ball of the club. Letters were read from Captain Mends, R. N., commanding H. M. S. Hastings, 60 guns, and Captain Tatcham, R. N., commanding H. M. S. Amphitrite, 30 guns, on behalf of themselves and the officers of their respective ships, expressing their thanks to the club for their election as hen members. Provision was ordered to be made for the utmost amount of attention to the wants of the ladies of members and their friends admitted to the club house daring the regatta. The details of many necessary requirements were minutely dis- cussed, aud the arrangements are now in all respects complete. A large concourse of persons is expected, and, doubtless, the fSte iu tho castle will materially strengthen the attractions of the meeting. The club house has received a pretty addition by the presentation of a beautiful priut of the Surprise, by Mr Tetley, the owner. NEW YORK YACHT CLUB. The following circular has been directed to the members of all our European yacht clubs, and we have little doubt that many owners will be induced to join the friendly contest :•— " Sir : I am directed to inform the memberg of your association that the One Hundred Guinea Cup won by the yacht America ' at Cowes, England, August 22, 1851, at the regatta of the Royal Yacht Squadron, as a prize offered to yachts of all nations, has been presented to the New York Yacht Club, sub- ject to the following conditions, viz:—' Any organised yacht club of any foreign country shall always be entitled, through any one or more of its members, to claim the right of sailing a matoh for this cup with any yacht or other vessel of not less than 30 or more than 300 tons, measured by the Custom House rule of the c uiutry to which the vessel belongs. The parties desiring to sail for the cup may make any match with the yacht olu% in possession of the same that may be determined upon by mutual consent; but in case of disagreement as to terms, the match shall be sailed over the usual course for the annual regatta of the yacht club in possession of the cup, and subject to its rules and sailing regulations, the challenging party being bound to give six months' notice in writing, fixing the day they wish to start— this notice to embrace the length, Custom House measurement, rig, and name of the vessel. It is to be distinctly understood that tho cup is to be the property of the club, and not of the members thereof, or owners of the vessel winning it in a match, and that the condition of keeping it open to be sailed for by yachts of all foreign countries, upon the terms above laid down, shall for ever attach to it, thus making it perpetually a Challenge Cup for friendly competition between foreign countries.' The New York Yacht Club having accepted the gift with the conditions above expressed, consider this a fitting occasion to present the subject to the yacht clubs of all nations, and invoke from them a spirited contest for the championship, and trust that it may be the source of continued v friendly strife between the institutions of this description • throughout the world, and therefore request that this commu- nication may be laid before your members at their earliest meeting, and earnestly invite a friendly competition for the pos- session of the prize, tendering to any gentlemen who may favour us with a visit, and who may enter into the contest, a liberal, hearty welcome, and the strictest fair play.— Respoctfully your obedient servant, N. BLOODFOED, Secretary New York Yacht Club." GREAT GRIMSBY REGATTA. Never in the annals of yachting was such an exciting and in- teresting scene witnessed as the one that took place OH the Hu? rber on Monday last. It will easily be understood that it was interesting when it is stated that there were only five seconds of time between the arrival at the goal of the first and and last yachts of the first dass, and 16 seconds between the first and second yachts of the second class. The yachts in the first race came to the flag- ship, which was the goal, in the following order :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. AQUILINE .... 2 2 OIAVALON 2 2 21 RAPID 2 2 5 The second class yaohts came in as follows :— K. M. S. J H. M. S. ROSE qv YOKK .... 2 LI 4| EAGBE 21139 The prizes for the second class yachts were presented by the Mayor and Chairman of the M. S. and L. Railway, but the first prizes were not awarded owing to the Aquiline being disqualified for having touched a mark and running foul of the Avalon, one of whose men jumped on board the Aquiline, and consequently came to goal with one man short. Her claim to the first prize was referred to the London yacht clubs. There was a numerous party oa board, including the chairman and several of the direc- tors of the M. S. and L. Railway. Several toasts were given. The chairman of the railway spoke in high complimentary terms of the honorary secretary, whose name, although associated with twenty other gentlemen forming the committee, was the com- mittee itself, and to whom they owed the excellent arrangements . of the day. The fishing smacks made a good race, and arrived as follows: Abstainer 1: 26: 14, Arrow 1: 35, Phoebe 1: 38, St Mar- garet 1: 42, Admiral 1: 53: 7, Rapid 1: 41: 30. There was a numerous company on the shore ani docks, and the river was alive with steamers and boats filled with pleasure- seekers. As Wm. Haggerson is not satisfied with his late defeat by GEOEGE TOAKLEY of Chelsea, he will row him his own distance, for from £ 5, to £ 20 a side. Money ready on Monday next at J. Tufneil's, Builders' Arms, Russell- street, Chelsea, and Wandsworth a; ot past them, rowing with such determina- tion that they even looked like wiuuers of the heat; but Harry Clasper worked up one of his well- known spurts, and came in first by two lengths. Manchester gave in before the finish. SECOND HEAT. HAMMEESMITH CBISW— 1. J. Holder, 2. T. Hoare, 3. R. Piner, 4. G. Green, T. Hoare ( cox) 1 CHAMPION'S CBBW— 1. G. Driver, 2. T. Day, 3. A. Rolph, 4. H. Kelley, J. Driver ( cox) 0 SHAKSPBRE CBBW— 1. H. Ault, 2. S. Wood, 8. E. Wir. ship, 4. T. Bruce, J. Richardson ( cox) 0 This was as fine a race as any on record, and ended, to the surprise of all, in the defeat of the Shakspere Crew, maimed by four of the most celebrated Northerns, by both the London crews, and that by sheer good rowing. They were shaken off before reaching the Crab Tree, from which point to the finish a race of unparalleled speed and piuck was maintained between Kelley's crew and Hammersmith. Spurt after spurt brought the Champion up with the leading boat, only as often to be dropped again astern, and they reached the flag- boat overlap- ping by about half a length, the Hammersmith men rowing so well together as not to show much signs of distress. FINAL HEAT. NEWCASTLE CBEW 11 HAMMEBSMITH CEEW .... 0 This was the concluding race of the day, and was rowed down from the upper end of Chiswick Eyot. Immense excitement prevailed with respect to its issue; for although the prowess of Harry Clasper's crew, the north country reputation, and their evidently high state of training made them generally the favourites, yet the form of the Sandboys, and their defeat of Kelly aud the Elswickers, had taken all by surprise, and many expressed an opinion that they were quite good enough to win, which opinion it will be seen the result fully justified. Some little delay took place at starting, owing to the Newcastle crew ooming to the post with young Driver of Wandsworth steering, instead of the coxswain of their former heat; this was objected to by the Hammersmith men, and he had to be changed. When at length all was ready, they took up their stations, Hammersmith on the Surrey shore and Clasper at the next buoy outside them ; and on the signal being given they actually seemed to fly away over the water, the Newcastle men having a trifle the best of it, their start being a little the steadiest and quickest. Opposite the Ship Hammersmith had got famously to work, repaired the lost ground, and were gain- ing every stroke, aud that so rapidly, that before reaching the Suspension Bridge they were nearly their length ahead, and were welcomed by the crowds on every side with thunders of ap- plause. From the bridge to the Crab Tree there was no change, save that Claspsr sometimes crept up and again fell astern, and the race was continued at a terrific pace with unabated vigour on both aides. Soon after the Crab Tree, the boy who w* s steering Hammersmith had taken them so far over to the Mid- dlesex shore, and Newcastle was so close upon them that great fears were already entertained for the result, and to the dismay of all, just on arriving at the point a spurt put on by Clasper brought his boat up, and a foul ensued, putting an untimely end to one of the best and most manfully contested races it has ever been our lot to witness. Shortly after arriving at the committee's barge Clasper's colour was run up on the staff, making known the decision of the umpire. Great was the regret expressed at this unfortunate occurrence, for the Hammersmith men truly deserved, by their very excellent rowing, to win this race, and as they are poor, hard- working nsen, it would have been a great assistance to them ; we hear that something will be done for them in their own neighbourhood, and we hope that their exer- tions for the honour of London will also be remembered else- where. So long as little children are allowed at the joke- lines no race will be safe from these untoward accidents, and arriving at the goal in safety must be altogether a matter of luck. It may be difficult to invent a rule to meet the case, but it should be tried. GENTLEMEN'S PAIR- OARED GIG RACB, WITH COX- SWAINS ( NOT OUTRIGGED). Messrs Nottidge and W. Williams. H. Weston ( cox) 1 Messrs W. H. Lowe and F. Lowe, E. Weston ' oox; 0 Messrs A. A. Casaniajor and K. Freeman, G. Weeton ( cox) .. 0 Two other pairs started. Soon after starting Messrs Lowe singled themselves out from the lot, and took the lead, closely followed by Mr Nottidge; Mr Casamajor, whose boat did not seem to carry a steerer well, being third. A good race took place between the two first, the winners not getting a decided lead till after Craven Cottage. Won by a length. GENTLEMEN SCULLERS RACE. Mr H. H. Play ford Blue and white 1 Mr C. Patterson Yellow 2 The winner did exactly as he pleased, and won very much at his leisure. PAIR- OARED RACB. Open to the world, for prizes amounting to £ 24. FIBST HEAT. G. Hamrvierton and Francis Pink 1 J. Clasper and H. Clasper Red 2 H. Ault and S. Wood Blue 0 G. Driver and T. Day entered but did not start. Pink led from the beginning and so thoroughly maintained their advantage that they were four lengths ahead at the Crab Tree ( tfoing up), and won as they liked. Red were even more ahead of the third pair. SECOND HEAT, H. Kelly and A. Ralph Blue and White 1 E. Winskip and T. Bruce Red 0 T. Richardson and W. Walker Yellow 0 It was a very capital start, in which they were all together for several strokes. Red then drew a slight lead, but were promptly overhauled by Blue and White, who gradually went away, Red steering too much into the shore. Blue aud White w - JU easily by two or three lengths, Rod next, Yellow having resigned the cot. test at the Crab Tree. WATERMEN'S APFBENTICES' RACE for a coat, badge, freedom, and money prizes, the gift of the Thames Subscription Club. FIRST HEAT. Robert Chittjr of Richmond Red 1 Henry Snell of Hampton Black 0 Samuel Palmer of Horselydown 0 Charles Turner of Rotherhithe was entered, but did not go. It was a capital start, then Red and Black singled themselves out and made a very gallant race all the way. Red led by a quarter of a length off the regatta steam- boat, Black giving strong symptoms of passing him, but unable to accomplish it. At the Crab Tree Red was three lengths ahead, which he increased until the race became hollow at last. SECOND HEAT. Stephen Salter of Wandsworth Black and White 1 James Wise of Kew Red and White 0 Henry Phelps ol'Fulharn Yeilow 0 William Styles of Isleworth Pink and White 0 Red and White jumped off with a good lead, and had drawn himself clear of Black and White off the steamer, but the latter overhauled him so rapidly as to leave no doubt of his superiority, when the former rowed across him. Black and White, however, immediately got away, was clear at Craven Cottage, a length and a half ahead at the Crab Tree, and two and a half lengths at the finish. THIRD HEAT. Edward Eagers, Chelsea Green 1 F. Robinson, Putney Pink 0 William Wallinger, Paul's Wharf. Blue 0 J. H. Clasper, Wandsworth, had been entered, but did not go. This race was not well contested ; Green began to draw slightly shortly after the start, and Blue and Pink fouling he had it all his own way. FOUBTH HEAT. Charles Brown, Richmond Red and Black 1 Richard D. Groves, Wandsworth Green andft hite 0 Henry Styles, Isleworth Yellow and White 0 A. Richards, Irongate Yellow and Black 0 The start was got by Yellow and White, who held it well for a short distance, when Green and White and Red and Black came up, and these two made a ding- dong race to Craven Cottage one, but deferred until nearly nearly two, in order to give the expected guests an opportunity of witnessing all the racing. After waiting for some time in vain, three of the matches were started, and then the gilt barge was descried drawing its slow length along, and was honoured as it entered the arch at Putney Bridge with a salute from the Regatta gunner. The party on board the barge— which consisted of tho Lord Mayor, Sir Chapman Marshall, Sir F. G. Moon, Sir W. Magnay, several of the other aldermen, and the members of the Centenary Club, the Lady Mayoress, and a large party of ladies— repaired to the Maria W ood, where an elegant repast was set out awaiting their arrival; and in the evening, at the conclusion ot the racing, his lordship, agreeably with his promise, presented the prizes to the successful candidates, with many complimentary aud well- timed eulogiums upon the skill and prowess they had displayed. There were not so many races on the card as on the previous day, but upon the whole it was a fine day's sport, the rowing being ex- ceedingly good. Mr Sawyer, the superintendent of the Citizen steamboats, had taken especial care that the combatants should not be disturbed by the motion of steamers, aud in the most praiseworthy manner had put a stop to the running of the Kew boats during the hours of racing on both days. The racing com- menced with the SCULLER3 RACE. Open to all the world, for prizes to the amount of £ 29. FIBST HEAT. Robert Chambers Newcastle Blue 1 Richard Pitier, Whitehall Green 2 George Redknap, Richmond Yellow 0 Palmer of Horselydown, who had been entered for this race, did not go. Chambers missed the start, and his opponents consequently got two or three lengths lead. Redknap went away first, fol- lowed by Piner, and at the committee barge the former was leading by half a length. At Fiush's, Chambers, who had by this time settled down well to his work, rowed by Redknap and then by Piuer, heading both by above a length at the Crab True, where a fine race was being rowed between Piner and Redknap for the second place. Chambers went farther in front, and won by a couple of lengths. SECOND IIEAT. Alfred Ralph, Wandsworth Blue and white 1 John Mackinney. Richmond Red 2 Thomas Pocock, Lambeih White 0 Thomas Day, Wandsworth Black 0 It was a very good race to the point. Pocock took the start, followed by Day, John Mackiuney being third; but they had not rowed fifty yards from the bridge when Day's boat went over. Ralph was the last to get away, when a fine race occurred between him and Pocock, Ralph soon going right ahead of both. After that Mackinney took Pocock's water, and rowed after Ralph for the second place. THISD HEAT. George Driver, Wandsworth Green and white 0 Thomas Mackinney, Richmond Black and while 0 Harry Clasper had been entered, but did not go. Mackinney took the lead and went ahead well at first, but his adversary gradually drew upon him, and at the Crab Tree there was scarcely more than a couple of yards between the boats. The race continued to be very spirited, Mackinney retaining a slight lead till within two hundred yardsof HammersmithBridge, where Driver rowed 011 to his stern. The umpire's opinion was that both had drawn together, and that they should both be entitled to row in the FINAL HEAT. Robert Chambers Blue 1 j AlfredRalph.. Blueandwhife 3 John Mackinney Red 2 | Richard Piner Green 1 Driver a: d Tom Mackiuney did not get away, and it is com- plained that they had no opportunity of doing so, for that while they were waiting at Hammersmith Bridge the others W8re started some yards below them. It was a spleudid race between the other four, John Mackiuney leading by fhree or four lengths, when Chambers looking round and seeing his opponents in ad- vance, went outside thorn and rowed beautifully up to John Mackinney. Ralph steered too much into the Middlesex shore, but directly after passing the Crab Tree he came level with Chambers, and all three than drew almost scull and scull to the point. Ralph aud John Mackinney rowed abreast until Ralph got fouled by a boat; lie again, however, picked up, by the most extraordinary rowing, aud became level with Chambers, but, steering wildly, would have gone dead into the committee barge had he not been repeatedly shouted to, when, pulling the left hand, fee went inside, being at the time slightly ahead. A boat then fouled hiia, and Chambers kept his straight course outside, and won by half a length, followed by Mackiuney. GENTLEMEN'S PAIR- OAR OUTRIGGED GIGS, WITH COXSWAINS, FOR OLARET JUGS; in one heat. Messrs Nottidge and T. VV. Williams, E. Weston ( cox).. While 1 Messrs H. H. Playford and E. Beifour. H. Weston ( cox) Black and white 0 Messrs A. A. Casamiyor and A. O. Lloyd, G. Weston ( cox) Red, white and blue 0 Messrs Hinshaw and Murray ( Clydesdale Club), W. Kirby ( cox^ piuc 0 The circumstances connected with this heat caused some dissa- tisfaction, and we may here again express our dislike of children steering in public matches. It will be seen that in three of the boats the yoka iiues were handled bv the Masters Weston, owe of whom does not appear eight years of age, the fourth boat by Kirby's son, and by some iisadvertancy Mr Weston was the umpire in the race; not the slightest imputation is meant towards that gentleman, but it suggests itself that had it been thought of it would have been better for some one else to have acted. They all started away well, Blue and White with a slight lead, followed by Red, White, and Blue. Between the steam- boat and committee bargo Blue and White fouled, the other two boats being a trifle iu advance of them at the time, and all the parties were called back to make a fresh start, but it was some time before they did this; after another abortive attempt, how- ever, they got away, White with a slight lead, and Blue and White passing Red, White, and Biue at tho committee bargo. A very fine race was maintained between White aud Blue and White up to the Crab Tree, where the former were only half a length iu advance; but after this the winners pulled further in front and won by a couple of lengths. WATERMEN'S FOUR- OAR RACE, for prizes amounting to £ 40. SHAE; SPBBE CREW JJE( J 1 CHAMPION'S CJRBW 7.7. Blue and white 2 WANDSWORTH CREW Red and white 3 FIVE FRIENDS CBBW BLUE 4 To the disappointment of tho many the Hammersmith crew did not start. The race was started as craft beginning to cant de- noted high water. The Five Friends had the best station ; ii6xt to them wure the Wandsworth, then the Champions, the Shaks- pere being ou tho Surrey side. It was a beautiful start; the Five Friends jumped oti with a slight lead, and by their rapidity of motion had drawn themselves nearly clear at the committee barf; e; then came tho Wandsworth and Shakspere level, and Kelly's crew between them half a length astern. They all rowed at a very fine pace nearly level to the point, where the Shaksperes were beginning to show a decided and permanent lead, which at the Crab Tree they had increased to more thau their length. The Champion's crew were having a fine race with the Five Friends, the Wandsworth crew having fallen astern, when, owing to their proximity, it is alleged by the Five Friends that the Champion's fouled them. The latter then went into the second place, followed by the Wandsworth crew, who now went by the Five Friends. The winners cou- tinued on well in front, and the others were more or less ham- pered by the number of boats out, and from the position of Kelly's crew as they neared Hammersmith Bridge it is quite certain that they must have met with some mishap there. The boats W6re still very close, and the contest continued amongst the three last crews very fiercely to the end, Shakspere won by three lengths ; Kelly's crew were second ; Wandsworth third. TRADESMEN'S FOUR- OARED CHALLENGE CUP. Messrs Hughes, Belcher, Cusack, and Blythe ( members of the Pitnlico and Chelsea Unity Rowing Club) being the only entry for this race, rowed over the course to claim. WATERMEN'S APPRENTICES.

Green 3 Charles Brown of Richmond Red and Black 4 Tii8 youngsters rowed exceedingly well together at a rapid pace for a quarter of a mile, then they began to separate, aud made two races, Red leading Black and White slightly ; then a gap, with Green heading Red and Black. In this way they got up to the Crab Tree, where Black aud White gradually closed the gap between himself and Red, and they had a scull and scull contest to Craven. Here Black and White drew himself a length in advance, and gradually increased his lead to the fiuish, winning by about two lengths. CLIFFORD CHALLENGE CUP. LONDON ROWING CLUB— Messrs A. A. Casamajor 1, J. Not- tidge 2, J. Paine a, H. H. Piayford ( stroke), and H. Weston ( cox) Blue and White Stripe 1 The Clyde- dale Amateur Rowing Club crew, consisting of Messrs Hinshan, Easton, Murray, R. Reid, and T. Reid ( cox), had been entered to contend for this race, but as the whole or the crew were not in London, they of caurse oould not start, and were consequently saved an almost certain defeat. The above rowed over the course to claim, and compounded with the public for the loss of this race by a fine spin down from the point against the umpire's eight. WATERMEN'S PAIR OARS. FINAL HEAT. G. Hammerton and G, Francis Pink 1 J. Clasper and H. Clasper Yellow 2 E. Winship and T. Bruce lied 3 H. Kelly and A. Ralph Blue and White 4 It was a very beautiful start, Yellow and Piuk siugliug them- selves out from the other two, and rowing an almost neck and neck race down to the Crab Tree, where, owing to a barge in the course, one of the Ciasper's had to ship his oaf, and the winners drew a head a couple of lengths, which they kept and somewhat improved. The other two pair were impeded by boats out. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE. The renowned 1st of August wager 011 Saturday week was more than usually animated, as well as severe. To the livery and badge bequeathed by Doggett many years ago was added the interest of £ 200 South Sea Stock, amounting 011 the present occasion to nearly £ 5 for the second man aud nearly £ 3 for the third; and to these of late years have been generously appended by the Fishmongers' Company a guinea to the livery and badge, a guinea and a half for the fourth man, and a guinea to each of the other two, as an inducement for all, like " good men and true," to row on to the last. Mr Dards. bargemaster to the Fishmongers' Company, has been for upwards of a quarter of a century the umpire, and the race was adsiirably started and well contested on this occasion under his direction. Henry T. Iilackmore, Greenwich. I Francis Weedon, Blackwall. Wm. Thos. Maxwell, Custom House. I Thos, Caffin White, Bermendsey, Alfred John Titter, LimehQUse. | Joseph Gcovfe, Horselydowu. It is very singular that, although Weedon had obtained a lot in lieu of Brooker of Rotherhithe, who declined, they were still all below bridge men on the list. Blackmore was the favourite against the field, and a good bit of money was laid out upon him. The tide had apparently just broke when the men were started at London Bridge, but at Blackfriars it was evi- dently strong ebb, and with a tolerable amount of head wind out, the men had their work cut out for them pretty tightlv. The favourite had the very worst station, dead to the northward, and had to make his way right athwart the tide, added to which be was slightly fouled by his own cutter shortly after the start. Wrhite, with a fine station, camoright away with the lead, followed by Weedon, Groves being third, and Titter fourth. Blackmore now began to draw away from the northward, and at the iron bridge rowed by Titter and Groves; but the latter went well up to him and challenged him, aud a very stiff race followed to near the Temple Pier. Groves had for two or three minutes a trifling lead of Blackmore, but! the latter again got it. White haci by this time made himself pretty safe, with a lead of three or four lengths, and, as they neared Somerset House, Weedon was second, Blackmore third, and Groves fourth, all the three latter being extremely close. Blackmore seemed at this point of the race fresher than Weedon, who is said to have been recently on a bed of sickness; he rowed wildly, aud conse- quently wasted part of his power. Weedon, on the contrary, was careful, steered well, and husbanded bis strength till the last. Weedon shot his water at the King's Arms ( below Westminster Bridge), while White and, Blackmore hugged the Surrey shore, and as near as the shallowness of the water would allow, till off Lambeth Palace, when they came over. Weedon had evidently gained by t he course he had taken, but Blackmore was too strong to be denied. Just above Vauxhall Bridge, Titter, who had been having a smart race with Groves, was fouled by a cutter, and before he could well recover himself fell out of his boat. He, however, soon turned the water out, and went to business again, but having once left his thwart he became last man. Off Smith's distillery Blackmore again becamescull and scull with Weedon, and passed him after another fine tussle, in which both were very short of water. White continued to lead, and won as he liked by nearly a furlong. Blackmore was fifty yards ahead of Weedon, there being a great gap between him and Titter. HALES'S CEEW V MAT'S CEEW.— A match has been made be- tween these orews, consisting of C. Hales, R. Syrrell, C. Simons, W. Plume, T. Went ( cox); and May, Forfar, Chapman, T. Sim- monds, A. Canuel ( cox), to row from Putney to the Ship at Mort- lake, ou Saturday, Sept 5, Hales's crew staking £ 12 to £ 10. We have received the articles, together wish £ 4 8s on the part of 4 on the part of May. The next deposit of £ 2 8s be excelled. Landscape and water viows are not, however, the only attractions; the visitor afloat finds himself in almost imme- diate contact with the hulls of vessels which bear historic names, aud which have figured conspicuously in some of the great naval engagements which gave to Great Britain her ascendancy over the seas ; whilst again, other huge seventy- fours and three deckers hang lazily at anchor, having accomplished nothing since they were first put on the stocks, but establish the fact that " my lords" of the Admiralty cau experimentalise without the slightest compunction on the pocket and patience of John Bull. However, people now- a- days have become so accus- tomed to the " circumlocution office" and the " barnacles" as to be almost indifferent to the amount of folly or indiscretion of a body of men who have no possible claims whatever to direct the naval machinery and orgauisation of a Hiighty nation. This, however, is a digression— only, when one sees some score or so of war ships which have cost the nation hundreds of thousands of pounds condemned as worthless, even before trial, it is cal- culated to ruffle the temper a little, and make men ask what is the use of t he Admiralty Board, as at present constituted ? '' My lords" are a very good sort of people in their way, aud, as they happened to be at Plymouth on Wednesday, on their voyage of inspection, they did themselves the pleasure, and the committee of the Devonport and Stonehouse Regatta the honour, of wit- nessing the sports from Mount Wise. That favourable site for commanding a view of the course was crammed with people, the numbers being computed at somewhere about 10,000. Other elevated spots had also their occupants, and the day being par- ticularly fine, the wind just sufficient to ripple the water and fan the cheek, everybody seemed as happy as the occa- sion could make them. Although a considerable sum of money is distributed, this regatta is not of an am- bitious or aspiring character. Started some years ago with the view of giving the boatmen, naval apprentices, mechanics, and others connected with the dockyard a good day's holiday, those who have had the management through successive years have stuck to first principles ; hence we have little to report which can interest the general reader. Wo must not omit to mention that the excellent band of H. M. S Impreg- nable was on the committee barge ( moored off Mount Wise), and played delightfully during the afternoon. The Admiralty, as well as the commanding officer of the troops stationed at Mount Wiso lent their countenance to the sports— the former presenting a donation of £ 5, the latter allowing the bands of the Marines and the 67th and 69th Regiments to discourse sweet music to the multitudes. Now lor the sports:— The first was a MATCH by watermen; five prizes; first £ 1, second 15s, third 12s, fourth 8s, fifth 5s, for which six started and came iu as follows:— Lily ( G. odman) 1, Prince of Wales ( W. Bryan) 2, Mary Ann ( T, Stark) 3, Daring ( Clarke) 4, Nelson ( Stafford) 5, Rumpeculio ( Murray) 6. The contest between the two first was good, whilst the others were well up. The Lily, however, won tolerably easy, and might have increased her distance. TWO- OABED SKIEFS, by apprentices; first prize £ 1, second 12s 6d, third 7s 6d. There were nine entries, but only six showed when time wascalled, and these rounded the committee's bwge in the following order:— Pixie 1, Alarm 2, Fawn 3, Elf 4, Phantom 5, Pianet 6. This race was smart aud exciting throughout, and uncommonly so at the close with regard to first and second, there beiug scarcely a length between them d& ring nearly tho last mile in; bad third, the rest nowhere. POUK OABED GIGS, by mechanics; first prize £ 2 10s, second £ 1 10s, third £ 1; six entries and five started, with the following result:— Alarm 1, Alpha 2, Secret 3, Two Brothers 4, Glance 5. Singularly enough, within two or three minutes of starting, the boats took the positions just enumerated, went the first round exactly in that order, and never, we believe, changed it. Alarm had it all her own way; second and third closely contested. SIX- OARED GIGS IN HEE MAJESTY'S SEKVICE ( preventive gigs excepted); first prize £ 3, second £ 2, third £ 1. They were won as follows:— James Watt 1, Gipsey 2, Paul Pry 3. The Alarm aiso started, but speedily relinquished the contest. The James Watt was an easy winner. FOUK- OAKED GIGS, free to all; first prize £ 3, second £ 2, third £ 1. There were six entries, but only three started:— The Alarm, Dewer; the Glance, Hocking; aud the Alma, Water- man. The Alma, with a S; dtash crew, took the lead from the start, was never fetched, and won easy by about 200 yards; the same distance between the Alarm ( second) aud Glance. PINNACES USED IN HER MAJESTY'S SERVICE ; first prize £ 4, second £ 3, third £ 2, fourth £ 1. Four entered, but only two started, the Teazer, manned by riggers of her Majesty's dockyard, and the Grey Mare, manned by teen belonging to her Majesty's ship Impregnable. Whether a race was ever intended or not we cannot say, but the riggers went away witii the lead, were never fetched, aud won by about half a mile. FOUR- OARED GIGS, by women; first prize £ 2 10s, second £ 1 10s, third £ 1 Is, Three started, and the Saltash dames, as usual, asserted their superiority ; Glance 1, Alarm 2, Alpha 3. TWO- OARED SKIFFS, open to all; first prize £ 1, second 12s 6d, third 7s 6d. These were won by Pixie, Alarm, and Phantom in the order named; Firefly was beaten off early. There were randan matches for puutsmen and watermen, prizes for naval apprentices in pinnaces belonging to the ship in harbour, one or two gig matches, punt chases, aud the other sports which usually finish the day's proceedings ; and such was the ample bill of fare that darkness concluded the sports before the committee's programme was completely exhausted. SWANSEA REGATTA. This squatic event took place 011 Monday and Tuesday last under the most auspicious circumstances. The weather was de" lightful, the sports of a very superior character, whilst the attendance was estimated at 20,000 persons, comprising the elite of the town and district. The beautiful bay was studded with craft, aud never before was witnessed so magnificent a coup d'ceil. FIRST DAY.— The sports this day commenced with the SWANSEA PILOT BOAT RACE, a prize of £ 24. Ten started, and after apretty race the Vivian came in an easy winner. SAILING BOAT RACE.— Three started for this race, a prize of £ 10. Won by the Magic, the property of Mr Bowen, after a gallant tussle with the Fairy of Milt'ord. The other sailing boat race was won by the lone. GRAND YACHT RACE.— The Member's Cup, of the value of £ 25, to be sailed for by yachts not exceeding 50 tons register. A time race, Royal Thames Yacht Club regulations. Entrance, one guinea. The following were entered:— Leander, 31 tons, H. J. Bath; Vigilant, 34. J. C. Atkins ; Blue Bell, 30, S. Padley; Constance, 15, T. W. Pixley; Vesper, 15, G. A. Bevan ; Cyclone, 41, W. J. Patterson; Romulus, 23, Brown Edwardes. The Cyclene did not arrive in time to run. The start for this, the race of the day, was effected at 3: 15. The breeze freshening a little at the time, a good start was made. The Vesper took the lead from the commencement, gradually increasing it through- out the race. The Vigilant, which took the second place, was very beautifully handled. A stronger breeze, however, would have enabled them, together with the other crews, to show their seamanship to better advantage. After having made the first circuit of the course, the following was the time at which ihe yachts passed the pier buoys:— Vesper, 5: 32; Vigilant, 5: 36; Biue Bell, 5: 59; Leander, 0: 19; Romulus, 6: 32; Constance, 6: 33. The Vesper yacht came in at 7: 13, and being a Swansea boat was much cheered. The above was followed by a race be- tween the famed Mumbler's dredging boats, aud some spirited rowing matches ana a duck hunt, the day's proceedings with an ordinary at the Mackworih Arms Hotel. SECOND DAY.— The weather was delightful, and there being a spauking breeze from tho S. W., the contests were keen and exciting. THE PILOT BOAT RACE was agaiu won by the Vivian this day. GRAND YACHT RACE FOP. THE LADIES' CHALLENGE CUP.— The Ladies' Challenge Cup, valued at 100 guineas, with ten guineas added, for yachts of any Royal Yacht Club, not exceed- ing 45 tons register, subject to thy conditions of the Ladies' Challenge Cup at Cowes. Twice round, making the course about 25 miles in length. Entrance, £ 1 Is.— The competing yachts were:— Vigilant, 34, J. C. Atkins; Leander, 31, H. J. Bath; Vesper, 15, G. A. Bevan; Blue Bell, 30, S. Padley; Cy- clone, 41, W. J. Patterson. The start was made at 3: 45. The Vigilant had the weathermost position, Leander being second, and Vesper third. The crew of the latter displayed much skill in setting their canvas. The Vigilant took the second place, and was admirably handled this day. The Blue Bell appeared to stand well in the race, but wheu the Cyclone brought her heavy gaff topsail to bear, she became a close pursuer of the Vigilant aud the Vesper. This position was maintained, with little variation, round the east and west marks— the Vigilant keeping the lead. I11 rounding the west mark, the Ves- per and Blue Bell ran foul, and the former unfortunately lost her topmast, and was at once sent to grass. A delay in shifting the gaff topsail of the Blue B « ll gave an advan- tage to the Cyclone, and on passing the buoy at the western pier, after completing the first circuit of the course, she was half a minute in advauce. The following is the order of time at which all the yachts passed this point:— Vigilant, 5h 7min 5sec; Cyclone, 5h 16min 30sec; Blue Bell, 5h 17min; Vesper ( with broken topsail), 6hl8miti; Leauder, 5h 29mm 45sec. The su- perior sailing of the Vigilant, with the wind as it stood, was apparent. Nearing the winning buoy the Cyclone fell off, and 011 coming up at the close of the race, the two leading yachts passed the buoy as follows:— Vigilant, 6h 41min 20sec ; Cyclone, 6h 45min. The Blue Bell and Leander were considerably astern. The Vigilant and the Cyclone were both the property of visitors at our regatta— the one being from the Sister Isle and the other from the river Avon. The result proves that they were well matched, and, though not now victorious, we doubt not that Fortune wiil yet smile upon the Cyclone. Tho Fairy, of Mil- ford, won the £ 15 prize. The rowing matches were the same as on the first day. One of the most successful regattas ever witnessed in the Bristol Cliatmel was brought to a close by a brilliant ball, which was attended by Lord George Lennox, H. H. Vivian, Esq, M. P., the Mayor of Swansea, aud about 90 of the leading aristocracy of the town and neighbourhood. After his excellency ' 9 state barge came the gigs of the yachts, and the whole was studded with boats of all shapes and sizes, urged eagerly onwards to the scene of the sports. We have seldom if ever seen a more beautiful sight thau the river aud grounds of Meulo presented on this day. Rear- Commodore Bridson, Royal Western Yacht Clab, presided over the aquatic sports, and, as usual wherever he is, nothing but good sport and good humour prevailed. Several very excel- lently contested rowing matches came off, the principal being won by Mr J. Rynd's crew from Dublin. The Garrison Purse was won by the Gone Away, rowed by Mr Blake ( Sir Thos. Blake's son) and the Messrs Redington, A sumptuous dejeuner was given in honour of his excellency by Sir Thomas Blake, to which the elite of the county and all the yachting visitors were invited. On Saturday, the fishing vessels being iu for their week's pro- visions and water, a Purse of 25 sovereigns was offered for them to contest. Shortly after one o'clock a fleet of seven splendidly equipped and manned trawlers, belonging to the Royal Irish Fisheries Company, James Edward Stopford, Esq, managing director, came to the starting buoys :— NAME.

TRIO 50 A beautiful start; was effected, the vessels slashing along beam and beam for several miles at the commencement of the race. Off Gleninagli Castle the Druid singled out, followed by the Heron and Trio, and after a well- sailed match these three vessels were declared to have won:— 1, Druid, £ 12 ; 2, Heron, £ 8; 3, Trio, £ 5. In the evening four of the directors of the company entertained the captains of the vessels and tho crews, to the number of 54 men, at their private expense, at Kilroy's Hotel, where the most kindly feelings were interchanged, and " Prosperity to the Royal Irish Company " drunk with three times three, coupled with that of its energetic and spirited founder, James Edward Stop- ford, Esq. His excellency expressed himself iu the highest terms as to his reception in Galway, aud stated that he should not easily forget his pleasant sojourn in the City of the Tribes; all classes seemed to vie in making their visitors pleasant and comfortable ; the County Club was thrown open for the recep- tion of the yachtsmen visitors, aud every attention that could be paid to them they received. We cannot avoid paying a well- de- served compliment to Peter Sarsfleld Comyn, Esq, High Sheriff, for his most excellent and complete arrangemeuts, as well as for the kindness, courtesy, aud attention he evinced to the members of the Royal Yacht Clubs attending. Commodore Batt, in hiB noble schooner the Heroine, was shut up in Castletown Berehaven, aud Rear- Commodore Bridson's vessel Nimrod in Kinsale the Heroine by gales of wind, and the Nimrod by calms and baffling winds. The gallant Commodore made several attempts to join his officers, but each time was driven back under storm canvas, the last time b8itig very nearly dismasted. LEANDER CLUB. COAT, BADGE, AND FREEDOM.— We are requested to remind the cempetitors for this prize that it will be rowed for 011 Tues- day next, llth inst. from Westminster to Putney, at five o'dock p. m. The men whose names are entered are required to attend at the Leauder Club- room, at Renshaw's, at 4: 30, to receive their colours aud draw for their stations. The following apprentices have entered their names and deposited their indentures with Mr Parish, the Leander coxswain, at the Lion, Newcastle- street :— Joseph Geal, Edward C. Mathews, Geo. Parker, Thos. Haywood, George Everard, James Low, John Campbell, Wm. Styles, Robert Chitty, Thomas H. Woodford, TWICKENHAM REGATTA. The quiet little town of Twickenham was the scene of bustle on Monday, 011 the occasion of the thirty- first annual double scullers match being rowed among the watermen of Twickenham. To make sport all the afternoon tho race was in four heats, and was for a purse of sovereigns and. other prizes subscribed by the nobility, gentry, aad inhabitants of Twickenham audits vicinity. The regatta was under the direction of Mr George Redkuap, aud was umpired by Mr Janaes Hammerton, an excellent boat having been engaged. The following were the results:— First heat: H. Hammerton and R. Hammorton ( red) l, J. Jorden and J. Ham- merton ( green) 0; the distance in all the heats was from Straw- berry- hill to a boat moored off Twickenham Ferry, up again to Strawberry- hill, and down again, finishing at the Due d'Aumale's. They were scull aud scull to the Ferry, R-; d then took the lead, but Green kept them to their work, and only came in half a clear length of the winners.— Second heat: George Lee and John Taylor ( pink) 1, Thos. Gildon aud Geo. Redknap ( blue) 0. Not so good a race as the last. Both got away together, then the meeting. The drawings, with those of four life- boat trans- porting carriages suited for varying localities, areto be circulated in our colosies and in foreign countries, and toother parties who might desire to provide life boats 011 tho coasts of this or any other country. It was reported that during the past month the Institution had sent two of its first class life- boats tothelrishr- coast to be stationed at Youghal and Cahore. When completed, with transporting carriages and houses, both establishments will cost the Society £ 600. The European Commissioners had also provided a life- boat of the same design for the mouth of the Danube; the boats were built by Messrs Forrestt, the cele- brated life- boat builders of Limehouse. The proceedings then closed. WAEPING REGATTA.— The thirty- sixth annual regatta at Wappinj?, for a new boat, subscribed by the inhabitants of the parishes of St John, Wapping, St George's in the East, and St Botolph, Aldgate, in addition to money prizes, took place last week, and was rowed by eight free watermen or the above parishes, managed by Thomas Thompson, sen. The regatta was in four heats.— First heat: William Hisee, Hermitage- stairs ( green), 1; Robert Jacks, Alderman- stairs ( pink) 2; James Bar- ginall, Wappiug Old- stairs ( yellow), 0; William Holbrook, Wap- ping New- stairs ( red white and blue), 0. The distance was from St Katharine s Dock buoy, round a boat at New Crane, Shadwell, round St Katharine Dock buoy again, and finish at tha London Docks, Wapping out. Pink took a lead of three lengths, which he held for half the distance, when Green passed him, and won by four or five boat lengths.— Second heat: Alfred Jones, King Henry- stairs ( blue and white), 1; James Legon, Union- stairs ( red and white), 2; Robert Henderson, Wapping Dock- stairs ( blue), 0; Thomas Jones, King Edward- stairs ( red), 0. Distance as before. Rsd and White held the lead to New Crane, wheu Blue and White passed him and won by two lengths. Blue was close up all the way.— Third heat: James Legon ( red and white), 1 ; Alfred Jones ( blueaod wlxite), 2; Ro- bert Jacks ( pink), 0 ; William Hisee ( green), 0. Distance: From the New Crane to St Katharine Dock buoy, round the New Crane, and finish at the London Dock, Wapping entrance. The two first men were together all the way, and rowed a desperate race ; Pink rowing almost level with them. Red and White won by two lengths. Blue and White second, by three lengths.— Grand heat: Legon ( red and white), 1 ; Jones ( blue and red), 2. Distance as before. The winner had the lead to the Thames Tunnel only slightly in advance. Blue and White came up, and they were scull and scull to East- lane; off Hermitage stairs, the winner went in advauce, but rounding Dublin chain instead of the right buoy, had to go back, and won by five lengths. LAUNCH OF THE IRON CUTTER YACHT NORTH STAR.—• Thursday, 6th August, witnessed the launch of the above- named yacht, which we think, if we judge from appearance, will not disgrace the Royal Mersey Yacht Club flag, and be a useful boat to her owner, George Harrison, Esq. as well as a credit to St Clair Byrse, Esq, who designed her. She is a remarkably strong yacht; we should say more so than auy iron or wood yacht ever built. She was launched all ready for sea, and about an hour after was uuder way with her owner and a few friends. Her racing trim cannot be all got at once, but she will come before the public at Carnarfon, m xtThursday. andagain on theClyde on the 29th. Although she is not expected to do anything this year, her owner thinks the best way to find her trim is to get in company with some good yachts. To show what can be done in iron, her keel was only put down 0: 1 Saturday, 20* h June; in six weeks and a half we see her in the water, under way, with everything on board, and in a little over seven weeks she will be engaged in a race. She is 265 tons, but more roomy than most 35- ton wood I boats. To show how near calculations can be made in these ; go- a- head times, her draught of water when launched was within ' a quarter of an inch ef that intended. Length on load line, 48ft j 9in; beam ( extreme), lift 6in ; tonnage ( LL. M. Y. C.) 26ft 59 9ths; draught aft, 8ft Sin; forward, 4ft 9iu; height above water ditto, 3ft lOin ; ditto forward, 6ft; Vead room, clear under beam, iu main cabin, 6ft lin by 10ft 6in, square full; has a good rise of floor, with substantial bilge, and carried out forward into a very slightly hollow load line, and at same time clear run aft below; has a good bold shear, without being sudden ; very strongly built and fitted up with everything of the very best; all iron ballast casks to fit. Mast above deck, 42ft; bowsprit ( outboard), 27ft 6in; main boom, 46ft; gaff, 30ft. WROXHAM REGATTA.— This regatta, one of the pleasautest of those held annually ou the picturesque " broads" of Norfolk, came off on Monday. After a preliminary match between some of the trading wherries, for which the livers of the county are so well known— in which the Sarah Ann, belonging to Mr W. Warnes, of Somerton, bore off the prize— a handsome silver tankard, of the value of 12 guineas, was sailed for by latteen- rigged pleasure boats not less thau sixteen feet on the keel, with they had a severe struggle, after » Iiich the winners" went well ! an allowance of 15 seconds per foot for difference of length, ahead.— Third heat: John Coxen and John Francis ( stripes) 1, i The only competitors were the Enchantress, Mr H, P. Green, of Thos. Home and Wm. Coxeu ( yellow) 0. The winners went Wroxham; and the Miranda, Mr R. B. Humfrey, of the same away from the beginning, but only won by two lengths, as Yellow pressed them very closely all the way — Final heat: Red 1, Stripes 2, Pink 3. Red won as they liked, but the others went away scull and scull together, and continued so for some time, when Stripes graually drew in advance of Pink. AQUATICS AT WESTMINSTER. SENIOR SCCLLS.— The first heat of the Senior Sculls was rowed on Friday, July 31st, the course being from Vauxhall to Battersea. Only two boats were able to come to the scratch, viz— 1, W. V. Williams; 2, T. Waters. The boats kept well together for the first half mile, when Williams shot ahead, and won as he liked. Williams therefore challenged Berens, the holder, aud the grand heat came off on Monday^ August 3, from Battersea to Vauxhall. Williams shot away with the lead, but after a very fine race was passed by Berens at Chelsea Bridge. Berens then led all the way, though very hard pressed by Wil- liams, who rowed in a most determined manner, and passed through Vauxhall Bridge four lengths ahead. PAIR OAKS.— The first heat came off on Monday, July 20, in which tho following crews contended:— T. Whteler, W. Wil- liams, 1; A. Hariugton, T. Waters, Z; W. Dowdeswell, A. Hamersley, 0; H. Chapman, W. Hentz, 0. The eight started the race at Battersea Bridge. Hentz went ahead but was passed by Williams and Hamersley, aiad soon after by Waters, who next passed Hamersley, coming in a good second. Williams passed through Vauxhall Bridge two lengths ahead. Second heat: Two of the boats were unfortunately prevented from starting, and the remaining two walked over. Grand heat: On Wednesday, July 22, the following boats came to their stations : — S. French, A. Walker, 1; T. Waters, A. Harington, 2, W. Williams, T. Wheeler, 0; E. Berens, A. Onslow, 0. A foul took place soon after starting by which Berens was thrown out of the race, and W'aters was thrown behind, but by a vigorous spurt Waters succeeded in passing Williams and came iu sccond. Waiker won by four lengths. Hales, and —— 0 „„ , for Hales, and £ 2 for May, to be made Aug 8, at Mr Smith's, where the winner began to show ahead, although pressed ' Anchor, Bankside, GALWAY BAY REGATTA. This meeting, which had been originally fixed for the 27th of July, was postponed to Thursday, the 30th, in order to meet the wishes of nis Excellency the Lord Lieutenant. A large muster of yachts had promised attendance, but the stormy nature of the weather for the week previously dispersed them into the ports up and down the coast. The first day opened with a fresh gale at west, accompanied by heavy showers. At 12: 30 his excel- lency embarked, and proceeded on board H. M. S. Hawk, Captain Willcox, C. B,, and shortly afterwards twelve of the finest Galway hookers started for a purse of 20 sovereigns. The ap- pearance of this hardy fleet of western rovers excited great attention, and the manner in which they were handled elicited much admiration. The course was, starting abreast of Mutton Island, thence to a flag- boat moored off the old castle of Gleninagh, on the Claie shore, across the bay to a flag- boat moored off Furbogh, and thence up the bay, leaving the Black Rock Beacon on the port hand, winning off Mutton Island— a distance of 21 miles. Immediately upon the starting- gun being fired, away dashed the dark- canvassed clippers, now one taking the lead, now another would race to the front, but all well together ; after a hard struggle, and a display of tactics that would have done credit to veteran yachtsmen, the three winning boats were declared to be— STATION.

The next race, therefore, was for the Welcome Cup, a purse of 25 sovs, for which the following vessels came to the buoys:— STATION. NAME. TONS. OWNER. 1. FAIRY 8 Charles Lynch, Esq 2.

Esq The gun was fired shortly after one o'clock, and amidst a heavy squall and rain a beautiful start took place, the little Pet going to the front at once; from the heavy nature of the day a shorter course than hadbeen originally fixed upon was given, viz, starting from the flag- ship, and going three times round H. M. S. Hawke, and twice round the flag- ship. Upon approaching the frigate the first round, the Plover drew up rapicily with the Pet, collared her at the turn, and took first place; in the meantime, the Wee Fairy was coming up astern like a little steam- ship, beau- tifully handled, and bounding over the Atlantic surges buoyant as au air bubble; power, however, must be served, aud still the Plover challenged to win. In tho second round the Pet came hot upon her track, and it was all " Lombard- street to a china orange," that she would take her time off the Plover. As they neared the frigate the second round the problem was solved, away went the poor little Pet's main halyard- block, and her well- deserved chance was gone. The Fairy now took up the running in most determined style, her crew carrying 011 after a fashion that warned the Plover to be on the alert. After as in- teresting a race as we ever witnessed, they arrived at the flag- ship in the following order and time :— YACHT. H. M. S. 1 YACHT. H. 31. s. ]. PLOVER 4 17 30 | 2. FAIRS 1 23 35 It will thus be seen that the Fairy lost her race by only 57sec. On the second day, Friday, the weather was much more favourable; his excellency embarked at au early hour in a boat of the Hawk's, and proceeded up the river Corrib to Meulo Castle, the romantic and beautiful seat of Sir Thomas Blake, opposite to which the aquatic sports of the day were to come off, MAIDENHEAD PAIR- OARED RACE. This race, for a pair of handsome silver goblets, came off at Maidenhead, on the piece of water between the Railway Bridge and Bray, on Thursday, July 30. The following six pairs had been entered to contend, viz, Mr H. Langtou and Mr G. Nors- worthy, Mr John Fuller and Mr R.. Goolden, Mr John Langton aud Mr W. Smith, Mr Charles East aud Mr H. C. Ibbetson, Mr Walter Scott and Mr Joseph Fuller, and Mr R. D. Templeman and Mr P. J. Langton; but of these only the three first- named appeared at the post, and the race, in consequence, was decided iu a single heat. The start was pretty evenly efft cted, but after the first half dozen strokes Mr N. Langton and Mr N^ r.-, worthy began to show iu advauce, followed, however, closely by Mr Goolden and his partner, who were rowing in style, and a trifle in advance of Mr J. Langton and Mr Smith; the latter pair, however, ceased to occasion tLem any further trouble, being brought to a full stop by a sailing boat cruising ou the Berks shore. Mr Henry Langton and Mr Norsworthy rapidly improved their lead, arriving first at the winning post some distance ahead of Mr Gooldeu and Mr Fuller, who were second. After the race the competitors and their friends adjourned to the Orkney Arms, where a resolution for the establishment of a Maidenhead Row- ing Club, a society much needed in those parts, was nut and car- ried, and the members of the Regatta Committee were appointed a provisional committee, with power to carry out the resolution. TIME FOR TONNAGE. MR EDITOR : May I crave the indulgence of being allowed a small space iu your valuable journal for the insertion of the following remarks on those most unfair and ridiculous conditions under which yachts are now so frequently required to compete for the prizes given at our regattas, ' ycleped " time for tonnage." This very puerile proceeding compels a yacht of 100 tons, although as slow as a hay barge, to give oue of 50, which may be as fast as a steamer, 25 minutes, whether the course is in the open sea or a narrow and short river, or whether it blows a gale or is a dead calm. To prove the absurdity of this, it is merely neces- sary to show how such a practice would act if carried out to the full extent. Many of your readers, no doubt, can well remember seeing in the list of members of the Royal Yacht Squadron some few years back the name of the much- lamented Admiral Corry, and opposite it ( as his yaciit P I suppose), H. M. ship Superb, of some two thousand tons, and I am not aware of any rule of the club that could have prevented the gallant admiral from entering his yacht (?) in auy time race. At any rate, any member possessing a yacht of simdar tonnage is at perfect liberty to do so, and in that case such a vessel would have to allow most of her competitors, in a race of the average du- ration, somewhere about thirty- five hours in six! Now, the advo- cates for such a system would greatly oblige the true friends to yachting, who are at present far from being tbtir debtors, if ' they would favour your correspondent and the public with an early solution of this very amusing arithmetical problem— a cha- racteristic creation of such futile imaginations. The most un- justifiable use that is occasionally made of this time for tonnage dogma ( and in one case of very recent date) is the putting it ia force in races for her Majesty's prizes; for it is surely patent to all, that the praiseworthy intention of our bj^^ ed and generous Queeu in offering them is as a reward tormnjest vessel, and an incentive to those who have it in their power to promote, by their wealth and ingenuity, the improvement in naval archi- tecture ; aud no one, I think, will deny that such is, and always has been, the royal wish in similar acts of kindness towards cur races on the Turf, to cncourage the breed of horses, aud reward him who may show himself the most successful in that parti- cular. I must, therefore, maintain that the Sailing Committees at our regattas have no more right to so misapply her Majesty's munificence, by giving it to the worst vessel, than would the stewards of our horse races be justified in making such rules as would allow of an inferior animal carrying it off from one of su- perior merit. If it is considered indispensable for the promotion of sport at our regattas that yachts should be handicapped, the proper way would be to appoint some person, who would, by constant and attentive observation, make himself fully acquainted with the relative sailing properties of all yach » s iu all kinds of weather and in all waters, and on the morning of the race, when the distance and nature of the course, the set of the tides, and the quarter and force of the wiud, are correctly ascertained— then, and not till then, say what time one vessel shall allow another. Such a public handicapper would easily be feuna, provided the remuneration was liberal and handsome ; but to continue thepresent system, and to allow of or overlook that most odious and unseamaulike practice of shifting ballast during% a race, will, ere long, drive from these national contests all honest and honourable yachtsmen, and the large and sea- worthy boats, and leave the funds of our yacht clubs to be thrown away upon vessels calculated merely to put money into the pockets of their unenviable possessors.— Yours, & c, A YACHTSMAN PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK. On Thursday a meeting ef the Royal National Life- boat Insti- tution was held at its house, John- street, Adelpbi, Thomas Chapman, Esq, V. P., F. R. S., in the chair. Mr Lewis, the secre- tary', having read the minutes cf the previous meeting, the silver medal of the Institution and £ 2 each were voted respectively to Henry Pomeroy, chief boatman of the Ccast Guard, W. Cloke, pilot, and Joseph Ley, pilot, aud £ 28 to fourteen other men, in acknowledgment of their brave conduct in putting off iu three small boats and rescuing, at the imminent risk of their lives, the crew of five men and a boy of the French schooner Roehellaise which, during a terrific gale, was wrecked 011 Mevagissy Bar, Cornwall, on the 19th June last. A reward of £ 110s was like- wise granted to three fishermen of Ringseud, near Dublin, in consideration of their laudable conduct in wading into the surf at some risk, to the rescue of oue out of six boys who had been capsiscd from their boat near that place. The silver medal of the Society aud £ 2 each were also presented to Peter lnkster and to a sailor boy named John Biance, in testimony of their noble conduct in putting off in a small boat only eight feet long and rescuing, at the peril of their own lives, two out of six men who were capsised from a boat off WThalsay Island, Shetland, a few weeks since. A report was read of the services rendered by the life- boat of the Institution stationed at Lytham to the new schooner Philanthropist, of Aberystwith, which was seen on a dangerous sand bank near Lytharn, on the 21st ult. Two of the life- boats crew having with much difficulty been put on board the vessel, she slipped her cables and wore off, but iu doing so she struck the bank twice ; eventually, however, the schooner was got off and brought iu safety into harbour; she was said to be worth £ 2,000. Captain Ward, R. N., the Inspector of Life- boats to the Institution, was on board the life- boa; at the tim ® ; hehadhadher taken out for exercise and inspection. The life- boat was said to have behaved exceedingly well on the occasion. In- specting Lieut Hippisley, R. N., had reported that the Dungenets life- boat had been recently launched in a fresh gale and in a heavy surf. The boat filled in launching and rose and cleared herself beautifully. She pulled off well, but 011 rounding the Black buoy she again shipped a heavy sea on her broadside, but again cleared herself of tho same to the satisfaction of all. The crew expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the life- boat. Some beautiful lithographic working drawings of the class of life- boat which is now exclusively adopted by the Institution, and which is designed by Mr James Peake, were exhibited at place. The Miranda sustained an accident in the second round, and the Enchantress bore off the prize, the third round being completed at 3h 47miu 15sec. Another silver tankard of the same value was also sailed for by pleasure boats of any length or rig, cutters allowing latteeners, and latteeners allowing each other 15 seconds per foot for difference of length. The com- petitors were the Kestrel and the Miranda ( which had repaired damage); the latter proved the witraer, completing the match at 5Vi 21min 12secs. A third silver tankard was competed for by the Esmeralda ( Mr Trafi'ord, Wroxham) and the Fairy Queen, Mr R. K. Morton, Aylsham. Three rounds were sailed, and the Fairy Queen maintained the lead throughout. BURGH REGATTA.— At this regatta, which is generally called the " Yarmouth Water Frolic," the first match was for a silver tankard, to be sailed for by cutter- rigged boats of not less than 20 feet and not exceeding 27 feet on the ram. The following boats were entered:-— Kathleen, Messrs Diver and Ch& mberlin, Yarmouth ; Belvidere, Mr T. Read, jun, Norwich; Victorine, Mr J. Fiddes, Yarmouth ; Ontario, Mr F. Frere, Yarmouth; Psyche, Mr J. Fenn, jun, Yarmouth; and the Iris, Mr A. D. Stone, Yarmouth. All started except the Iris, and, after a spirited consent, tiie Kathleen proved the winner, the Belvidere occupying the second place. The second match was for another Silver tankard, to be sailed for by boats of any length or rig, 20 seconds per foot to be allowed for difference of length. The fol- lowing started:— Enchantress ( latteen), Mr H. Green, Wrox- ham ; Miranda ( latteen), Mr R. B. Huafrey, Wroxham ; Kes- trel ( cutter), Mr W. Butcher, Norwich. The contest was an in- terestingoue, but the Enchantress succeeded eventually in dis- tancing the Miranda by about two huudred yards; Kestrel ( which took the lead at first) third. A rowing match and a dis- play of fireworks closed the day. GREENWICH ANNUAL REGATTA.— This regatta, which was to have taken place on Monday, July 27th, has been postponed, in consequence of some unforeseen circumstances having arisen 011 that occasion, aud arrangements have been made for it to come off ou Monday, August 17th, when the new boat and other prize* will be rowed for by the following six free watermen © f Green- wich, viz, William Mascoe ( dark blue), Richard Burgess ( yellow), George Field ( red), George Everson ( green), James Petrie ( light blue), and Heury Blackmore ( pink).

TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN RTAN.— A number of gentlemen who, with their wives and families, have been in the habit of travelling for years upon the Little Western, Ramssrate vessel, gave a complimentary dinner to Captain Rj an, at the Queen's Arms Hotel, Kilburn, on Monday last, at which an elegant silver tea and coffee sjrvice, weighing 80 ounces, aud of the value of £ 50, was presented to him, as a testimonial of their appreciation or his high skill as a navigator, and of his uniform courtesy and attention to his passengers. The chair was occupied by Mr Hill of Gracechurch- street, and the deputy chair by Mr Kempshall of Kilburn. SHEPPERTON AND HALLIFORD REGATTA.— Encouraged by the success of their last attempt, the inhabitants of the neigh- bourhood of Sheppertou and Halliford have determined on having another little aquatic amusement this summer, and have fixed Saturday, Aug 22, for the sports to take place. W. S. Lindsay, Esq, M. P., whose beautiful grounds form such a de- lightful ornament to this part of the river, has again promised his powerful support, and by next week we shall no doubt be able to give further particulars. There will be pair- oared races, sculling matches, prizes for punting, and ou laud rustic sports of all kinds. NAUTILUS ROWING CLUB,— The committee of this club held a meeting on Wednesday last, and went through the whole of the finances of the year, which exceeded all expectation. It was resolved to have another four- oared race as early as possible; the members are therefore requested to attend the meeting of the above club, to be held on Wednesday next, Aug 12, when the draw for partners will take place, RAMSGATE REGATTA.— It is intended to afford the in- habitants and visitors of Ramsgate a day's amusement in the shape of a regatta, on Monday, August 24th, when there will ba a match for sailing- boats, several prizes for six- oared galleys, four- oared galleys, scullers, and every other kiud of boat, besides those minor amusements so attractive to the humbler classes. Tho value of the prizes cannot yet be determined, as much will depend on the amount of the funds collected.

Seldom have we settled down to describe a pugilistic ensounter with such feelings of disappointment as we are labouring uuder while endeavouring to invest the battle now under notice with any thing like general interest. Prior to Tuesday we were impressed with a notion that we should this day be enabled to lay before our readers the record of a mill equal in interest and incidents to any that we have witnessed for several years, and this impression, we are con- vinced, was shared by many of our readers. It was known that the enthusiastic Potboy was a game, clever lad, and one 0f the most promising bruisers of the age, while Brettle's cha- racter as a strong, determined fighter, was not less esteemed among those who knew him. How our expectations and those of our readers were baulked and crossed it is now our business to show. The match. it will be reoollected, was made soon after Cobley's fight with Crockett. Brettle had then made several ineffectual attempts to get on with Mike Madden for £ 200 a side, but failing with that hero, he was persuaded to reduce his terms and make a match with Caunt's pet for £ 100. By the London division it was thought a rash piece of pre- sumption on the part of the Brutn to pit himself against such a proved good one, but those who knew Brettle, and who, moreover, had heard the opinion of the late Jack Jones as to hi3 hitting powers were of a different opinion, and took the odds most freely which were offered on the Elastic One, who from first to last was the favourite at prices varying from 6 to 7 to 4. The meu were confined to lOst 21b, which, however, was merely a restriction as far as Brettle was concerned, seeing that J ob's fighting weight seldom exceeds 9st 101b. Both lads went into active training in due time, Job Cobley in co& ipany with Ben Caunt at Saltpans, near Sandwich, and Bob Brettle near Birmingham. Joe, we think, was rather too persevering in hi* work, for he reduced himself below the mark necessary to enable him to stand against a powerful boxer like Brettle. Bob, notwithstanding sinister rumours to the contrary, took the utmost care of himself, and no man could have done more to deserve the confidence of his backers, for on entering the ring his condition was perfection. It was stipulated by the articles that the men should go to scale at Harry Orme's, the day before fighting, but about a week previous to this event each man received u letter from a Mr Cutting, who has a claim against Orme for some unsettled bets on the fight between Harris aud Baldock, warning him not to go to scale at Harry's house, or he, Mr Cutting, would have the first man who appeared, arrested. We also received a letter , from Mr Cuttiug containing a similar threat. How the carrying it out would have tended to the injury of Orme, we are at a loss to conceive, and peri- iaps it was from a feeling that liis vengeance would fall in the wrong quarter that Mr Cutting was induced at the last moment not to put his threat into exe cution. Wfeatever was his motive, it is satisfactory to us to state that he did not interfere, and allowed the important cere- mony of scaling to take plac? at the Jane Shore without let or hindrance. The excitement at the East End, for hours before and after the ceremony, was most intense, the neighbourhood of Bhoreditch Station, near to which Orme's hostelrie is situated, being like a complete fair. The Birmingham Fancy mustered iu extraordinary force, there being scarcely one important member of that division absent from the post. Between twelve and two both lads put in their appearance, and lest no time in submiltii g themselves to the requisite test. Cobley, who looked decidedly- thin and drawn, baroly turned the se le at 9. st 81b, while the Brummagen hero exactly balanced lOst. Notwithstanding this great disparity, however, the friends of Cobley were extremely confident, and backed him freely at 6 to 4. It struck us at the first glance that Cobley was too light, aud at tke same time we felt convinced that Bob Brettle was bang up to the mark. The talent, however, threw the question of condition ou one side, and " went the entire animal" in backing the Leicestershire pet on the strength of his supposed superior scientific acquirements. The fixture having been agreed upon between Ben Caunt and Harry Orme, the ostensible backers of the men, Father Thames was selected as the great highway to the scene of action. The days being long, it was not thought necessary to start very early, but nevertheless the locus in quo was reached shortly after one o'clock, and here Fred Oliver and his friends lost no time in forming the lists. Three steam- vessels were chartered for the occasion, and as may be imagined, the concourse of spec- tators was very great. Fred Oliver did not allow anything like ample space for the inner- ring, and consequently from first to last tho privileged spectators were in anything but clover, the more especially as Inspector Adams appeared to have been pay- ing unusually strong devotion to the rosy god, and was utterly- incompetent to give the requisite instructions to the ring- keepers to ensure order. These matters must at once be looked to, or things will quickly lapse into their former state. Oliver had a large quantity of rope provided by the association some time back for the. purpose of forming an outer- ring, and we see no reason why it should not be used instead of a string little thicker than whipcord. We hope we may not have to allude to this subject again. As to the inspector, we have several times before had to warn him, aud we have now only to hint to him on the part of the committee, that this is the last time of asking, and that if he is again found tripping, he must take the consequences. A good deal of time was cut to waste after the ring was pitched before the men made their appearance, which they did, how- ever, shortly before two o'clock, Brettle attended by the accom- plished Tass Parker and the somewhat too assiduous Jemmy Welsh, and Cobley assisted by Life Guardsman Massey and the President of tho Rat Club ' yclept Jemmy Shaw. Directly the lads were within the enclosure, the betting became most spirited, and several hundreds of pounds were invested and staked in I planted another ribber, and then after a slight struggle they fell outside the ring. 15. Cobley tried to lead off, but napped a reminder on the side « f his remembrancer, another in the victualling department, and fell. 16. After one or two dodges Brettle slipped down. A claim of foul was raised by the Cobley party, which was not allowed, the slip being clearly au accident. 17. Bob at ouce rattled iu, and planted a heavy ribber. Cob- ley attempted to stem the torrent, but was bored down in his corner. 18. Brettle still forcing it, caught Job very heavily on the side of his throat, and staggered him. Job was evidently all abroad, and one steady hit would have settled the fight. Brettle was too anxious, however, and missed one or two cracks, which would have done wonders. At last he was successful, and caught Cobley on the same spot, and Job fell in Brettle's corner. 19. Job came up slowly, but still smiling. His confidence, however, appeared to have deserted him. He had a dark mark j ust above the collar- bone, which spoke volumes as to the se- verity of Bob's deliveries in the last round. Bob at once set to work, aud got home another hot one on the same spot, and Job was down. , , 20. Brettle rushed in, planted his left once more on the neck, and bored Cobley down. The latter appeared utterly unlike himself, and could neither stop nor return. 21. Cobley dropped after receiving a very little one on the ribs. . , . 22. Bob dashed at his man without precision, but contrived to catch him heavily on the mouth with his right and draw first Hood; there was only just sufficient, however, to decide the point in his favour. 23. A close and struggle at the ropes, anel both down. To detail any more reuuds of this affair would be ridiculous. There was not the slightest change; Br3ttle in every round forced the fighting, and punished Job very severely ou the ribs and left eye, but Job scarcely ever succeeded in delivering a return, and when he did there was no effect visible. Job got weaker every round, aud in the 33th fell without a blow. A claim of foul was made, but owing to the rush of people to tke ring side the referee was shut out from a sight of the riug and could give no decision; he, however, sent Dick Cain, Cobley's umpire, to caption him. After this there was great confusion, the friends of Cobley getting iu front of the referee and close to the ropes. At length by the exertions! of some few ring- keepers and several Corinthians who worked with a will, & space was cleared, and the referee took his static* close to the ropes. Iu the whole, 47 rounds were l'ou(? ht, Cobloy getting slower and slower, and Brettle piantinghis right severely in every round. Once or twice, when the rounds were over, Cobley jumped up and struck his man as he was going to his corner, but, as no appeals were made to the referee, no notice could be taken of these breaches of decorum. In the 40th round Cobley was knocked down by a severe body hit, avd several times afterwards he was also floored. At length, in the 47th and last round, he left his second's knee, avd, as he was going to the scratch, he saw Brettle coming to him as usual, and at once threw himself down, when several yards from his man. An appeal was made to the umpires, and Dick Cain, on being spoken to by the referee, at once, in the most manly way, admitted that bis man had done wrong and had lost the battle. The referee's fiat of foul was therefore scarcely called for, and Brettle was declared the winner in one hour and ten minutes. REMARKS. To offer many observations on thi3 affair would be insulting to the understanding of our readers, who may see, with half a glance, that it was a one- sided affair throughout, and may be said to have been won by Brettle in the first round. The heavy hit in the region of the heart, followed by a severe fall, evi- dently shook Cobley, whose frame was too fine drawn to enable him to bear up against the shock, aud never throughout was he able to deliver " a blow sufficient to stop the determined rashes of the brave Brum. He did not seem to have a notion of using his right, but even that would have been of little use after he had received such a stopper. He is, as may be imagined, much cut up at this his first defeat, but he must remember that we cannot have everything our own way. He is still young, just turned twenty- two, and has ample time before him to retrieve his lost laurels, and we have our opinion still that some dav he may get to the top o* the tree. He is still growing, and his frame not firmly set, and if he would take our advice, he would for a time rest on his oars, and content himself with plenty of glove practice ; not the tapping system, but good ear- nest glove fighting. Weare s- orry tohear that his backers deserted him on this the first occasion that the Fates were adverse, but he has this consolation that a lad of his quiet, respectable habits, and known acquirements, will not be long allowed to lack sup porters provided he conducts himself as he has heretofore done. He will be at Bob Brettle's, White Lion, Digbetk, on Tuesday next, wl, en the money is to be given up, and when, we doubt not, he will receive the wherewithal to console him under his misfortune. Of Brettle we need say nothing except that a more dangerous customer with his right, or a more difficult opponent to avoid we never saw. He may not possess any great scientiIfiic acquirements, but he is very strong and determined, and Will prove a very awkward opponent to any one of his weight. A more civil, inoffensive, quiet young fellow wo never saw as a member of the P. R. He is a general favourite in Birmingham, as he must be everywhere when ho becomes known. In conclu- sion we can only w'ish him as suc cessful a career as such conduct fully entitles him to. Tho results of his victory are to be handed over to him on Tuesday uUht, at his own house, the White Lion, Dijbeth, Birmingham. Ben Caunt has written to us to nay, that the rumours as to Cobley being deserted by his backers are utterly untrue. He says he took care to have Cobley con- veyed to his house in comfort after the fight, and that ou the follo wing morning he found he had taken his departure, without even saying good- bye; or thanking him for the trouble he had taken with him. WABMINGER AND HENDLEY.— Those men fought after the great guns had left the ring, for £ 10 a side. Warminger is a Norwich man and a protege oi Mace, while Hendley is better known as Booth's novice. The fight only lasted seventeen minutes, during which 17 rounds were fought, and ended in the easy defeat of the Norwich hero. A merry little off- handed mill, for £ 5 a side, came off on Monday week at Greenford Green, near Harrow, between George Hodsdon and Joe Butterlield, both Paddiugton lads. Hodsdon was waited upon by Bill Barry and Gill Batchelor, and Butter- field by Dan Morris aud Ned Foy. The men fought 36 rounds in one* hour aud forty minutes, when the police made their ap- pearance, and put a stop to further hostilities. They made another ring further down the canal, but, after fighting a few more rounds, the police again interfered, and the n. en have drawn their shakes. They were both severely punished, as give and take was the order of the day. GILLINGHAM AND FROME BOB — According to the only ac- count we have received of this match, the men met to fight for £ 10 a side on Tuesday, near Cardiff, and in the first round Gillingliam fell without a blow ; in the second he again fell, but, as ho was falling. Bob let go his left, which reached Gil- lingham when down. The friends of the latter at onca removed him from the ring, but whether there was any appeal to the referee, or my decision given, we know not. It seems to have been usuch the same style of thing as two out of three country battles now- adajs. Win, tie, or wrangle seems to be the rule and not the exception. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. TOM SATERS AND BROOME'S NOVICE.— According to promise Harry Broome, accompanied by his novice, attended at our office on Wednesday, to meet Tom Sayers and make a match for £ 200 a side, or as much more as he liked. Tom, however, did not put in an appearance. The novice appeared much disappointed. He begged of us to draw articles for a fight to come off in six months. We complied with his request and he signed the docu" ment and staked £ 10, which he said he was willing to forfeit if aimo7t'le7s* tim" e than it has taken us to record the fact." Among : he did not go on. He is a fine looking youisg man, of wiry frame other bets was one of £ 30 to £ 20 laid by Cobley with his gallant and determined aspect, and in general build reminded us some- adversary.

Posi OFFICE ORDERS for Deposits, in which the EDIIOB OF BELL'-, LIFE IN LONDON is made stakeholder, must be made payable to WILLIAM CLEMENT," at, the Post Office, Strand, and addressed to this office. Country notes c- annot be taken ; they will hi all in- stances be sent back. concerning their antecedents, . Bob Brettle is about 26 years < f age. He is a native of Porto- bello, near Edinburgh, and is a glasscutter and blower by trade. He commenced his fistic career ou St Valentine's Day, in 1854, by fighting Beu Malpas for £ 50 a side. Bob had the best of t he mill, and ultimately claimed a foul; but the referee gave two opposite decisions, audit was impossible toascertaiu which was the original judgment. The stakes were, therefore, drawn. Bob, being of' an ambitious turn, now flew at very high game, aud was matched with the brave Jack Jones, of Portsmouth, for £ 100 a side. The fight came off Nov 21, 1854, at Purfleet, when 49 rounds were fought in 105 minutes, chiefly iu favour of Jones. Darkness came on, and the referee put an end to fur- ther hostilities, and named the following Saturday for the renewal of the fight. Oil that day Jones put in an appearance, but Brettle was non est, having been apprehended by the police under circumstances which induced the stakeholder to award the money to Jones. Jones on that occasion expressed his delight at not having again to meet Brettle so soon after their first encounter, and said he never was bit so hard in his life by any man he ever fought; and ho felt satisfied that whoever fought Brettle in future would have a bellyfull. For a year after this fight Bob did nothing; but on November 20, 1855, he defeated Roger Coyne, of Birmingham, in 49 rounds aud 48 minutes, for £ 25 a side. Next came his match with Sam Simmonds, an old opponent of Johnny Walker, for £ 200 a side. The fight took place June 3, T856, near Didcot, and only lasted 16 minutes, during which 13 rounds were fought, all in favour of Brettle, who won as he liked, Simmonds, like ali men who have been on the shelf for any time, being unable to get himself into any sort of condition. After this several challenges and counter challsnges were issued between Bob and Mike Madden, but no match was ever made— not, we believe, from indisposition to fight, but because Mike was unable to procure the possibles to go on. This brings us to the match now under notice. Job Cobley ( the Elastic Potboy) is just 22 years of age. He is a Leicestershire lad, and before coming to Loudon fought Groomy Howe and several other countrymen, vic- tory always declaring for Job. His fir3t appearance in the fashionable London circle was made in au encounter with Bob Webb, for £ 25 a side, on the 13th of March, 1856. He won his battle with some ease in 35 rounds and 50 minutes. His second fight was the memorable encounter with Bob Travers, for £ 50 a side, August 19,1856. The mill, as our readers may recollect, lasted three hours and 57 minutes, and 110 rounds were fought. It was won by Job, who rendered his dark- mugged opponent completely blind. On the 22d of April last Job fought his third successful battle in the metropolis, beating George Crockett, for £ 100 a side, in 12 rounds and 52 minutes, and here for the time his successful career ended, seeing that in the battle now in hand he, for the first time, suffered defeat. An account of that battle we now lay before our readers. THE FIGHT. Round 1. The attitude of Cobley was, as usual, artistic ; while that of Brettle savoured more of the rough- and- ready style. Bret- tle did not wait long, but rushed in sideways and delivered his right on the side of the nut, and then planted the same hand very heavily ou Job's ribs under the left arm ; the latter missing his return. The blow on Cobley's ribs left an unmistakeable impression, and, in our opinion, rendered the battle at once a certainty for Brettle, as Job's left seemed afterwards to droop and become almost useless, Bob now went to close quarters, and after some wild fibbing, he got wall hold of Cobley, threw, and fell heavily on him. 2. Brettle again dashed in, and popped his right heavily on the ribs without a return, and repeated the dose, Cobley return- ing very slightly on the side of the nut, and Brettle slipped down. 3. Bob made another sideway rush at Cobiey, who got away, but Bob following him up, got heavily on to his ribs, receiving a little one in return on the side of his canister. Bob now went to close quarters, and, after some wild fibbing, Cobley got down. 4. Cobley attempted to lead off with his left, but was very short. Exchanges followed, Brettle getting twice on the side of Job's nut, and receiving a little one on the frontispiece. In the end Brettle fell. 5. Cobley led off, but only just reached Brettle's smeller. Some rattling exchanges followed on the nobs of both, and ou the ribs of Cobley— and, in fact, this was a good fighting round. In the end Brettle slipped down. 6. Brettle at once rushed in, and Cobley met him with a straight one on the jaw, but it lacked force. Bob persevered, and fought his man down in his corner. 7. Brettle, still forcing the fighting, got home several times with his right on the ribs, Cobley missing his counters, and at last Cobley was down. 8. Job came up very slow, and appeared to be suffering from his body hits. Brettle went to him, and, after some blight ex- changes, Cobley was dowu. 9. Bob again rushed in, and popped a rib bender on the old spot. Cobley attempted to return, but was bored dowu at the ropes. 10. Cobley, after very harmless exchanges, dropped. 11. After sharp exchanges on the nut, Bret tie slipped down. He jumped up to renew the round, Cobley joined issue, and Bob planted a righthander on Job's nut, when Job fell. He in turn jumped up, and went at Bob, who, however, nailed him a second time on the side of his caput, and knocked him down. First knock down for Cobley. 12. Brettle once more planted on the side of the head, and Job down. 13. Cobley led off, but without vigour, aud Brettle at once closed, got Job's nut in chancery, and fibbed him, until both fell. 14. Cobley appeared to us distressed. He feinted, but could not get his man off his guard. After a little sparring, Bob again rushed sideways at his man, and getting him at the ropes proposes that there should be six deposits of £ 25 a side, and a final deposit of £ 40 a side, which, with the £ 10 down, would make £ 200 a side, and he is quite willing to make the deposits at our office, or at sporting houses whichever will suit Tom Sayers, but he is also anxious that which ever method is fixed upon shall be adhered to, so as to prevent mistakes. We have received the following from Ben Caunt:—" Mr Editor: It appears, with a very ill- conditioned grace, that Tom Sayers cannot complete his projects of universal victory without 1 hearing from me.' I had thought that Tom Sayers had heard enough from me already, and I had forsaken all thought of meeting the middle- sized champion when I was unexpectedly recalled by Bell of last week to a sense, not of auty, but injus- tice. That my name should be dragged in at the fag end of a controversy that should be properly decided by the fists, and at the last moHient— in the very teeth of my coming engagement- is simply ridiculous. Tom Sayers has had his chance with me. He must now study my convenience. I am still anxious to settle the claims of these midcllo weight upstarts— also the mid- dle weight upstarts themselves. When I have done with Lang- ham let Tom Sayers speak, and my money and my honest de- termination to lick him will speak for me.— Yours obediently, BENJAMIN CAUNT.,— August 7tn, 1857." BEN CAUNT AND LANGHAM.— OB Thursday there was a strong muster at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's lane, to witness the staking of the 14th deposit ef £ 10 a side for this match. The ceremony was duly performed and the usual toast drunk. The next deposit of £ 10 a side is to be made at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, on Thursday, the 12th inst. BEOWN AND TYX. EC.— The third deposit, of £ 5 a side, for this match was made at Harry Brunton's, George and Dragon, Beech- street, Barbican, on Wednesday. The fourth, of £ 5 a side, is to be made at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, on Wed- nesday next. WELSH AND ROBERTS.— We wish to hear from Roberts what his intentions are respecting his match with Wel- h. As he is bound over for twelve months, it strikes us he had better con- sent to draw his money. It seems there is little doubt he was in some way implicated in his own apprehension. MACE AND MADDEN.— The fourth deposit of £ 5 a side for this match was made at Massey's, Crowu, Cranbourne- passage, on Wednesday. The fifth deposit, of £ 5 a side, is to be made at Dan Dismore's King's Arms, Smart's- buildings, Holborn, on Thursday week. M'NULTY AND PABKINSON.— The backers of Parkinson in this match must send us the £ 6 he received as the last deposit, and we will then name a day for the men to fight again. If this is not done we shall hand over the money we hold to M'Nulty. ANDREWS AND SMITH.— This match is off, Smith having for- feited. Andrews is willing to make a fresh match, for £ 50 a sid< J, on the same terms. His money will be ready at George Brown's, Bell, Red Lion- market, on Wednesday next. LANCASTER AND MEEK.—£ 3 a side have been forwarded to u; for this match. The next, of £ 3 a side, is due on the 12th inst. NEWTON AND WHITE.— We have received a further deposit of £ 5 a side for this match. The next, of a similar amount, must be forwarded next week. NORTHUMBERLAND BILL AND TOOLE.— We have received£ 4 from Northumberland Bill this week for this match, but Toole's £ 4 had not arrived when this portion of our paper went to press. MALPAS AND PRICE.— These men continue to make good their deposits. They must send us the whole of the money next week. Simon Finighty is much surprised that Lynch h?. s not sent articles to him as he promised. Finighty will fight any one at 7st 101b, for £ 25 a side; or any one at 8st 81b ( bar Harrington) for the like amount. By covering the sovereign in our hands, and sending articles to Finighty, at Morris Boberts, Wharf- street, Birmingham, a match can be made, Henley, who fought Warminger, will fight Blyths of Norwich at 8st 61b if he will stake £ 50 to £ 40, or £ 25 to £ 20; or he will fight any one who never won more than £ 10, at 8st Gib, for £ 25 a side. A deposit left with us, and articles sent to Mr Booth, Grapes, Friar- street, Borough, will ensure a match. Jesse Hatton, in answer to George Baker of Chatham, says he will make a match with him on his own terms, for £ 50 or £ 100 a side, at lOst or lOst 21b. If Baker will leave a deposit with us Hatton will cover it; to fight within two months from the first deposit. Harry Broome wishes us to state that Smith, who is termed Bi'oome's man, who was challenged by Dan Collins, last week, is an utter stranger to hitn, and ia certainly not backed by Harry or his brother. Dooney Harris will fight Jesse Hatton catch weight, for £ 50 a side, or Roger Coyne, for £ 50, at lOst. Money ready at Mr Bunyan's, Hand in Hand, Princes- street, London- road, any night next week. George Sims will fight any man in the world at list, for £ 25 a side, that never won more than £ 25. Smith preferred. Money ready any night next week at J. Hoile's ( the Spider), Old King John, Holywell- lane, Shoreditch. Ike Tiney is prepared to fight Morris Roberts, at his own weight, for £ 50 a side. Money ready at the Sportsman, Church- street, Foundry- street, Shoreditch, any night next week. Alfred Walker is still opeirto fight Smith for £ 50, and will stake £ 10 in our hands next week to ensure a match at his own time. Sam Millard will fight Bodger Crutchley of Birmingham for £ 50 or £ 100 a side, at 9st 71b^ nd has left £ 5 in our hands, and hopes, if Bodger means fig^ HBhe will cover the money. Brooks will fight anybod^ HRe world at 8st lib. Money WEST LONDON FANCY RABBIT CLUB. The members of this societv held their half- yearly show at the Cranbourne Hotel, St Martin's- lane, last Tuesday evening. The chairman, upon opening the business of the evening, stated that it was very gratifying to hiia to witness so numerous an at tendance of visitors. He felt very creat pleasure in placing ou the table for their inspection the most extraordinary eared rabbit ever yet produced, the property of Mr Haile, Measuring 22fc inches in length of ear, and 5f iu width. The number of prizes were ten, but iu consequence of two members presenting the club with the sum of £ 18, tho committee had sec aside eight extra prizes to be contended for. It would be seen only seven had been taken, as there was no grey and white to show for the extra prize. As tne number of rabbits were so numerous upon that occasion, he would conclude with reading the rules and regula- tions of the society, and then have those rabbits placed upon the table to whom the judges had awarded the prizes.

' BIRMINGHAM FANCY AND DOMESTIC RABBIT CLUB, The fifteenth half- yearly dinner of the members of this club took place on Thursday last, at the club house, Mr Barnes's, King Edward's- place, a't which a large number of its members were present. The ckair was filled by George Taylor, Esq, the president of the society, ably supported by Mr Pinchbeck in the vice- chair. After the usual toasts were drunk, as usual, with acclamations, the chairman distributed the prizes to the success- ful candidates ( see Bell's Life of June 7) as awarded by the judges at the half- yearly show. In proposing the toast of the evening, " Success to tho Birmingham Fancy and Domestic Rabbit Club," the chairman congratulated the members on the prospect of tho society. The gradual hold it was taking by the public in the rearing of rabbits, its introduction into several poultry shows— the Crystal Palace, for instance— they had twice as many entries of rabbits this show than on the previous one; he also congratulated them on having carried off the prizes for length of ears, at the lata exhibition at Sheffield, and paid a high compliment to the worthy secretary, Mr Lawrence, for the per- fection of his rabbit s in general, aud particularly reverted to his first prize in the late show, where, with the first prize rabbit ( doe) 2liin, he exhibited a black doe, 20iin, a black buck 2GL a black and white buck 20$ in, and a black and white doe, 20iu, all from one litter. He regretted to hear he had lost another belonging to the same litter, which would have measured 21in— the most extraordinary length of ears on record iu one litter. The pro- spect of the club was all that could be desired in funds, and the members were gradually increasing. The health of the chair- man, vice- chairman, secretary, and judges, followed, and were duly responded to. QUOITS.— Wm. Wood of Rosy Brow, ComBstall Bridge, and Jonathan Ward of Denton are matched to play, for £ 5 a side, 18 yards, stiff clay ends, 31 up, at the Ring o' Bells, Hyde, on Sa- turday, the 15th inst, at five o'clock p. m. WARD AND BRENNAN V W. AND D. CLARKE.— This match, which was to have taken place last Tuesday, at the Queen Vic- toria, Stepney, did not come off, in consequence of the late arrival of oue'of the parties. The disappointment was, however, in some degree compensated for by some excellent play, in which Messrs Wagland, Beevers. Evans, and Brennan particu- larly distinguished themselves. Wni Baird. can be backed to play any one in Riggend, New Monkland, or, with a companion from Old Mouklaud any two in Riggend, for £ 5 or £ 10 ; or R. R. will play any man in Riggend with his left hand, for £ 10 ; 21 yards, 61 shots, clay ends. A match can be made any evening, at Mr Win. Fowler's, Coat- bridge. If ' Wm.

Southgate, he can be accom- modated with another match, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side, 18 yards dis- tance, 41 up, quoits not to exceed 12in. Money ready at any time at Mr Clarke's, Cross Keys, Theobald's- road. RABBIT COURSING.— Last Monday afternoon upwards of 500 persons assembled at Mr Henry Fielden's, Lord Iselsen Inn, Ritigley, near Manchester, to witness two matches at rabbits, but the following only came off:— G. Bibby's Jip of Preston against D. Tomkinson's Music of Blackburn, 11 out of 21 courses, 60 yards law, for £ 10 a side, Music having two dead rabbits given. The betting at first was even. Jip caught the first seven, the 11th, 16th, 18th, and 20th. Music having only killed the 8th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th, and 19th, Jip won the match. The 9th course was aa undecided one. Another match, for £ 10 a side, was expected to have been decided between Bibby's Fan ef Preston aud Fielden's Lillof Blackburn, but owing to the owner of the field having interfered to stop the latter portion of the preceding contest, and threatening ta introduce the " blues," it was abandoned. At Mr John Beddows, the Milton Arms, Denton, to- morrow ( Monday), a sweepstakes will be run at rabbits by dogs, not to exceed 231b, for a copper kettle. Entrance, 6d each, to be returned in liquor. N. B. Live wild rabbits always on hand. WRESTLING.— BUCKLEY AND FARMER.- On account of the match between Elijah Buckley and Robt. Farmer the next and last deposit of £ 10 a side is to be made good at Mr John Lane's, Crown and Cushion, Oldham, on Saturday next, at seven o'clock a. m., when tire men are to scale, neither to exceed 9st lib, to be in the ring at two o'clock at noon, and if they cannot agree to a referee in 30 minutes the stakeholder, Wm. Taylor, to choose one for them. To wrestle at Jas. Winterbottom's, Higginshaw, Oldham. All foul play to be barred, and no resin to be used. MATLEY AND WILLIAMSON.— On account of the match be- tween these men, which takes place at the Snipe Inn, Auden- shaw, on Saturday next, for £ 20 a side, Lancashire fashion, two back falls out of three, according to the rules of the ground, Mr Nelson Warren, the proprietor, now holds £ 10 each. The remaining £ 10 each to be staked on the day of wrestling, by half- past two o'clock p. m. To be in the ring ready for action by three o'clock.

SKITTLES.— Another match has been made to be played at the Duke of York, Serle's- place, Temple Bar, on Tuesday even- ing next, between eight and nine o'clock, betwixt Wm. Jolley and Wm. Knight. 15 chalks, for £ 5 a side, Knight not being satisfied with his defeat last Tuesday by Jolley. PEDESTRIANISED AT GARSATT- LANE, WANDSWORTH- HANDICAP RACES.— Mr Sadler, the proprietor of the now well- known running grounds at Garratt- lane, having offered several prizes of considerable pecuniary ( and bona fide) value, to be competed for last Monday, occasioned au assemblage of many of our celebrated pedestrians anxiou^ to enter the lists. The distance to be run was 410 yards. The prizes were as foliow :— £ 3 10s for the first man, £ 2 for tfte second, and 10s for the third. The weather was exceedingly , fine, the attendance ex- ceedingly poor. The competitors ro run iu lots. The first heat came off at a quarter- past four o'clock, when the following ap- peared at the starting points:— Littlewood of Marylebone, SO yards start; Pearce of Greenwich, 40; Andrews's novice, 45; Barb ( alias Shaver), 45. The race lay altogether between Pearce and Barb, the latter eventually proving the winner by a few yards, the rest nowhere.— Second heat: Five aspiring velocipedists started in this, namely, Woodstock 45 yards, Spring 45, F. Diamond 45, Mack 55, and Sayers 50. For the first 200 yards it was an ad- mirably contested match ; here Sayers overtook Mack and rai- i in the winner.— Third heat: For this, five toed their respective positions— Marks 30 yards, Rushton 40, Jenns 45, Dorringtou50, aud Macuoughton 60. This was decidedly the best race of the day. After a well- fought struggle Rushton succeeded in roach- nig the g- ial, something less than a foot in advance of Macnough- tou ; Marks third. A short time after the above came off the OfiE MILE HANDICAP, for prizes similar to the foregoing, and also run in heats.— First heat: For this four started, viz, Littlewood 50 yards, Foster 70, Blake 80, and Jenns 90 ( Diamond, who had entered for it, by his exertiou in the last race, was unable to go, having sprained his ankle some eight or ten days previously). Won easily by Littlewood, Blake second, Jenns Uin d.— Second heat: Cook 40 yards, Jas. Mahoney 55, Gormou70, Dixon 90, Casteli 130, and Crawford 140, were the competitors. In the first lap Cooke overtook aud passed Mahoney, in the second he outstripped all his antagonists, aud ran in an easy winner by about ten yards.— Third heat: Five started— Andrews 40 vards start, Jerry Mahoney 60, Leggs 70, Reeves 80, and Woodstock 110. The heat lay entirely between Andrews and Mahoney, but the former, though straining every muscle, could not get ahead of his opponent, who rau in a winner by between five and six yards. It is here our boundeu duty to mention a circumstance of a most disgraceful nature that took place near the termination of this heat. When Mahoiiey was nearing the goal, a decided winner, a ruffian iu the crowd made a kick at him, which struck him most severely and nearly threw him on his face. The great- est indignation was manifested by all present at the dastardly act, and had it not been for the intervention of the police the cowardly blackguard would undoubtedly have got ( what he richly deserved) a ducking in the adjoining pond. On inquiry, we regret to say, we were informed he was brother to Andrews, the defeated man. In concluding our narrative of the day's sports, we have merely to meutiou that the final heats for the auove- mentioned prizes will be run off to- morrow ( Monday). The final heat of the 440 yards race at five o'clock, that for the one mile at half- past five precisely. TUESDAY.— BAKRETT AND LEWIS.— The spin of 120 yards, for £ 10 a side, between Charles Barrett of Bethnal Green, and Thomas Lewis of Stratford, was fixed to come off here to- day. Our readers may bear in their remembrance that the same parties ran 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, at the same place on the 22d of last June, ou which occasion Lewis proved the winner by about a yard and a half; so convinced, however, were the backers of Barrett of his capability, that they made a fresh match, in- creasing the distance to 120 yards, and the stakes to £ 10 a side, Ihe day was fine, the attendance meagre. James Pudney having carefully measured the specified distance, the men prepared for action aud peeled. Betting : 3 to 2, and ulti- mately 2 to 1 on Lewis. A ' shameful and most disgrace- ful delay now took place iu consequence of the parties and their backers not agreeing as to the selection of a referee; every sporting gentleman on the ground was rejected seriatim. They were bound by articles to start at the latest by five o'clock, but up to six there did not appear the slightest probability of their agreeing upon a referee. Disgusted with such conduct, our re- porter was leaving the ground, when he was followed and to'd the disputed matter had been settled and a referee appointed upon which he returned ( which, under similar circumstances, we request he never will do again) to witness the issue, which may be now briefly told. After five or six false starts the men got away well together, Barrett with a very slight advantage, which he maintained until within a few yards of home, when Lewis made a rush, overtook, passed him, and went in a winner by- something less than a foot. It was a most excellent race. The winner can have the stakes by calling on us at twelve o'clock next Thursday. DOINGS AT THE COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. The sport which has taken place at these grounds since our last notice has not been very important, and has bean chiefly confined to the canine species. SATURDAY, AUG 1.— There were about 600 persons present, and the following events came off:— SCHOEIELD AND TAYLOR.— This was a sprint of 200 yards, for a liver eacls, between W. Schofiold of Lees aud J. Taylor of Cow- hill. The betting was 2 to 1 on Taylor, who had it all his own way, and proved the winner by three yards. POLLY AND ALICE.— Thos. Finch of Manchester is the owner of Polly, and Alice belongs to S. Barratt of Pilkington, the pre- scribed distance being 200 yards, and the stakes £ 12 10s a side. Speculation on this race was exceedingly brisk, the odds being 3 to 2 ou Polly, who had upwards of two yards and a half start. The contest proved far from an interesting one, inasmuch as Alice, having got up to her opponent, almost ceased running, which enabled Polly to win easily. Mr Thos. Hayes filled the office of referee. ROSE AKD CATCH.— 1This match was for £ 15 a side, distance 200 yards, between G. Wild's Rose and J. Buckley's Catch of Dukinfield Hall, the latter giving Rose 3 yards 13 inches start. Mr J. Holden was referee. Little betting took place, and Catch won by four yards.

DOINGS AT THE SALFORD BOROUGH GARDENS. We have frequently had occasion to notice, in terms of com- mendation, the judicious management exercised in regard to pedestrian contests, for which these grouuds have attained far more thau local celebrity. That some of the best men in England have here contended for supremacy is a fact beyond dispute ; and the estimation of the arena by the admirers of foot- racing may probably ba best judged by the large numbers of persons who visit it. Handicap racing in the provinces is making a rapid advance, and, notwithstanding that in another description of sport— where quadrupeds form the competitors— the practice of running in heats has all but become obsolete, upon the pedes- trian course it flourishes with unabated vigour. Still handicaps in Lancashire are rarely indeed matters of private speculation— being invariably got up by the owners of the grounds upon which they come off; and this is the more surprising when it is considered that some programmes of sport— especially at Hyde Park, Sheffield— are pregnant with events of this description, which doubtless prove remunerative to those who form them. Few men of late years have paid more attention to pedestrians and their engagements than Mr George Hardy of Salford, and to his exertions are due the handicap we are about to notice, which may prove an incentive to others to follow in his wake— who, though not probably possessing so great an amount of influence to obtain entries as Mr Hardy does, yet, if liberality and good management predominate, those who are " fleet of foot" will not be slow to assist in such contests. Mr A. Attenbury having granted the use of his grounds, the event we allude to opened on SATURDAY, AUG 1— MR GEO. HARDY'S HANDICAP.— The afternoon was beautifully fine, and upwards of one thousand persons were present. The first prize to be contended for was £ 20, second £ 4, third £ 1; distance 120 yards ; and, out of a numerous entry, 36 meu accepted, who were divided into twelve lots of three each ; Mr Thomas Candran, of the Grapes Inn, Cross- lane, Salford, fulfilling the duties of referee. J. Telford of Manchester was most fancied as tha winner. The betting upon the various heats was by no means brisk, and the following is a brief return of the sport, which commenced shortly after four o'clock. Lot 1 ': J. Newton ( alias Jam Lad) ( Hollingwood), 9 yards start, walked over.— Lot 2: J. Gosling ( Stockport), 104 yards start, 1; W. Constable ( Willenhall), 5, 2. Betting: 6 to 4 on Constable, but Gosling won by 24 yards.— Lot 3 : C. Halliwell ( Middleton), 74 yards start, walked over.— Lot 4 : J. Telford ( Manchester), 8 yards start, 1; A. Bowler ( Low Moor), 104, 2. Betting : 4 and 5 to 1 on Telford, who won by three yards.— Lot 5 : J. Hancock ( Longport, Staffordshire), 11 yards start, 1; J. Britton ( Hulme), 10, 2 ; S. Howard ( Bradford), 9, 3. Brittou was backed against the field, but Hancock won by four yards.— Lot 6 : J. Turton ( Nottingham), 10 yards start, walked over.— Lot 7 : J, Watkin- son ( Sheffield), 104 yards start, 1; J. Wheat ( Nottingham), 10, 2; J. Hancock ( Salford), scratch, 3. Betting : 2 to 1 on Watkin- son, who won easily.— Lot 8: J. Mallinson ( Manchester), 11 yards start, 1; J. Lett ( of Hulme), 12, 2 ; E. Greenwood ( alias German Lad) ( Ardwick), 3, 3. Won by a yard.— Lot 9: J. Thorpe ( Harpurhey) 10 yards start, 1; H. Johnson ( Swinton), 9, 2 ; W. Harrison ( Liverpool), 84, 3. Thorp won by four yards.— Lot 10: J. Clegg ( ELMLY), 9 yards start, 1; W. Wood ( Pendle- ton), 8, 2. Won by a yard.— Lot 11: T. Leary ( Manchester), 9 yards, 1; T. Barlow ( Stockport. 11, 2 ; J. Lyons ( Salford), 10, 3. Leary won by a yard and a half.— Lot 12: W. Tuck( Mexfeorough), 9 yards start, 1; T, Ivil ( Peiidlebury), 10, 2; R. Grundy ( Man- chester, 10, 3. Tuck won by a yard and a half. With this con- test the afternoon's sport concluded, aud immediately after- wards the 12 winners were drawn in four lots, the first heat being fixed for four o'clock on MONDAY.— There was again a tolerably good muster of spec- tators, aid subjoined is the result of. the events:— Lot 1: Thorpe 1, Tuck 2, Clegg 3.— Lot 2 : Telford 1, Gosling 2, Han- cock ( Longport), who was placed two yards back for leaving his mark) 3.— Lot 3 : Turten 1, Newton 2, Halliwell 3.— Lot 4 : Watkinsou 1, Mallinson 2. The winners next rau in two heats, when Telford beat Thorpe, and Turton defeated Watkinsou. — Deciding heat: J, Telford ( Manchester), 8 yards start, 1; J. Turton ( Nottingham) 10, 2. The betting was 2 to 1 on the win- ner, but 3 to 1 would have been taken. Telford thus carried off the handicap without difficulty, by two yards. MORLEY AKD COLLINS.— Joseph Morley of Skelmanthorpe and John Collins of Stock." moor are matched to run 125 yards, for £ 25 a side, at the Salford Borough Gardens, on the 24th inst. For this event Mr Holden has received £ 5 each, and is to be referee. Another deposit of £ 5 a side, in accordance with agreement, is to be acknowledged in our next, and the rest is to be staked on the day fixed for the race. A GREAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP, distance 140 yards, wiil take place at the Salford Borough Gardens, on Saturday, Sep- tember 5th, and Monday, September 7th. First prize, £ 25; second, £ 4; third, £ 1; entrance, 2s each, and acceptances 4s each. The entry will close on Tuesday, August 25th, and ac- ceptances the week following. All entries to be made at Mrs Attenbury's, Borough Inn, Regent- road, Salford; or at Mr. James Holden's, White Lion, Long Miligate, Manchester. Stamps as cash. CHAMPION'S BELT.— Mrs Attenbury intends giving a cham- pion's belt, value 50 guineas, open to the world, to be run for on Monday, the 21st of September, at the Salford Borough Gar- dens ; distance, 150 yards; entrance, £ 1 each; the second man to receive the entrance money. The entry to close on the 9th of September. The winner of the belt to hold it against ali comers for the space of eighteen months, and to run in six weeks from the date of being challenged through the columns of this paper, , for £ 25 a side, and the belt. ' REED AND DARLEY.— Mr James Holden has now received the full amount of the stakes, £ 25 a side, for the race of 150 yards, between the well- known Henry A. Reed of London and George Darley of Sheffield , winch is to come off on Saturday next at the Salford Borough Gardens. Mr Holden is to officiate as referee; and from the interest attached to the event among the provin- cial pedestrian admirers there will doubtless be a large assem- blage to witness the result. T& e men are to be at scratch at three o'clock, and if not off in fifteen minutes, to go by report of a pistol. PEARSON AND REED.— The whole of the stakes (£ 25 each) have been duly deposited in the hands of Mr Holden, for the race of 150 yards, with Wm. Pearson of Eccles, near Manchester, and H. A. Reed of London. This event is also to be decided at Salford Borough Gardens on Monday, the 17th iust, PEDESTEIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. ASTON CROSS GROUNDS, BIRMINGHAM.— On Monday last, J. Brindley ana W. Waterhouse met here, to run their six score yards match, for £ 5 a side. The men came to scratch in first- rate condition; betting level, at which a pretty good sum was laid out. After dodging for some time the men got off, Briudley with a yard start, geing at a rattling pace, and gra- dually widening the distance betweeen himself aiid his opponent, finishing a quick race by running in a winner by two yards. T. NEWEY AND J. ROBINSON.— These Birmingham novices met on Monday, near the Mermaid, on the Warwick- road, to run a six score yards match, for £ 5 a side. The men were equal in height and age, aud appeared well up to the mark, Newey has ran one previous match some two months back. It was Robinson's first essay. The friends of the men backed them freely, first at evens. Just previous to the start, 8 to 2 was offered by the Newey party and taken. At the first pull of handkerchief the men got away, Newey taking the lead, closely followed by Robinson, who at four score yards was abreast of Newey. A severe struggle then took place for the remainder of the distance. Robinson, when within a few yards of home, made a rush, and landed himself a winner by a quarter of a yard. A fresh match has been made by tkem to run six score yards, for £ 5 a side, to come off on Monday, the 31st August; Mr Tailby to be hnal stakeholder. ALFRED BADGER'S ( of Wolverhampton) MATCH to jump over 100 hurdles, placed four yards apart, and three feet in height, in five minutes, for £ 20 a side, came off on Saturday, the 1st iust, on a level road just out of Stourbridge. The hurdles were loose tops, and the articles stipulated that if one was knocked down, he was to turn and replace it. The match excited a good deal of interest, and a vast assemblage of persons was present to witness it. Betting in favour of time. At seven o'clock p. m. Badger appeared at scratch in excellent condition, and went to work in first- rate style, clearing his hurdles in a manner that elicited loud applause from the spectators, At two minutes and a half he had leaped 65 hurdles; in jumping the 79th he knocked it down, replaced it, went to work agaiu, and completed his task in four minutes aud three quarters, winning by 15 seconds. He was loudly cheered at the finish. This is the forty- sixth match which he has won; in fact, he has never been beaten.

STONES AND COOPER.— The long- pending race of one mile, for £ 25 a side, came off here on Monday last, between Henry Stones ancl Thomas Cooper. The event did not excite much interest among the sporting fraternity of this district, owing to a rumour having been circulated that the men were not running on their merits. Be this as it may, we are convinced that it was an honest race, and that both men did their best to win. Very little speculation took place. Cooper on the morning of the race was the favourite at 5 and 6 to 4, with few takers, and as the time ef starting approached as much as 2 aud 3 to 1 was offered. Stones having won the choice of sides allowed his opponent to take the inside, and all the necessary preliminaries having been settled the bipeds toed the scratch, aad away they started at almost a snail's pace, Cooper with the lead some three or four yards, which he maintained until they approached the back stretch, about 200 yards from the finish, when the office was given to Stones to go ahead, which mandate he at once obeyed and went to the front without an effort, and ran in an easy winner by nearly 30 yards. The winner was trained at Mr Bradley's, the Sun Inn, Carburton, about four miles from Worksop, under the care of Thomas Calaghan, the well- known trainer of Levett and others, of Sheffield.

SUNDAY, AUG 2.- TBE sport here, like all of the northern meetings, is a mixture of flat racing and steeple chasing, and. although the resources at the disposal of the managers are very limited, the conditions are so well made to suit all interests that a geodlv supply of horses are generally brought to tne post. The weather being fine a very fair muster of general company was assembled, including several members of the " legitimate. The surrounding towns and villages sent forth their fashionables to the scene, whose various " turn- outs" added much to the excitement and beauty of this ^ ally very pretty country xace course, the four- in- hand of the Baron de la Motte tooled b> himself, being the most conspicuous and the chiefattraction. The programme presented two flat races aua a steepie eUase the hurdle race being unfortunately discontinued. The Fnx des Haras was won ia a canter by Valna, beating four others. ttacTmeto the post for the handicap, which was won easily at last by Fleur- des- Loges, Seville cutting up very badiy., After another ridiculous wangle, similar to last year, touching the allowance to gentlemen riders, the steeple chase came off; it was won very cleverly by Railway, Eulogist showing the white feather " on the post." PRIX DES HARAS of l, 000f, for three year olds and upwards; weights for age; penalties for winning; entrance 60f; hair to the second; 2,500 metres ( ratker more than lm 4fur); 5 subs.

Baron George and Legacy made most of the running to the last turn, where V alna came out ana won in a canter by two or three lengths ; a good race for second was won by a neck, Cordone a bad fourth, and Oommelles, at a respectful distance, last. The HANDICAP of l. BOOf, added to a Sweepstakes of loOf each, 100 ft, and 50 only if declared; open to all horses, three year olds and upwards; 4,000 metres ( 2m 4fur); 12 subs.

Fleur- des- Loges was first off, but was pulled back immediately, and Bordeaux commenced to cut out the running with a good strong lead, Poean and Mira his immediate followers, and Seville and Fleur- des- Lages lying off. After the first round Mira and Seville were disposed of and Fleur- des- Loges joined Pceaii, the two waiting on Bordeaux to the last turn, where Fleur- des- Loges took up the running and won in a canter by two lengths ; a good race for the second money was secured by Bordeaux by a neck; Mira was fourth, Tchernaia fifth, and Seville last.

After running half a mile Grisette took the lead from Railway and then resigned it to Eulogist, the three horses leading alter- nately. Approaching the last turn, Eulogist got a lead of a length or two, but running very unkindly, was caught again by Rail- way over the last hurdle, who ran in an easy winner by a length, Grisette beaten off half a dozen lengths.

There are 115 subscribers, a number which, considering the stringency intro- duced into the rules and the lateness of the closing this year, is a very handsome set- off against the 131 of last year, 123 of 1855, and 104 of 1854. Owing to the lateness of the closing it is pro- bable that the actual draw for this stake may be larger than it ever has been. For the Douglas Cup, for all ages, 25 nominations have been already secured, being almost equal to the average number with which the stake has closed for three years back. THE COQTXETDALE CLUB.— The Open Puppy Stakes closed on the 1st inst with 72 entries.

Less excitement has been apparent in the market for the English Securities during the past week, and the liabilities have not been important. The liquidation was ^ effected more easily> however, than most persons anticipated, and there is still a disposition to speculate for a decline. The New Three per Cents and the Reduced Annuities have fluctuated with the Funds. The Unfunded Debt has been a shade firmer. The latest prices, on Friday afternoon, of the English Funds were— Exchequer Bills, 4s dis to par India Bonds, 18s India Stock, 21315 Consols for Account, 90 J 91 Bank Stock, 215 216* Reduced Annuities, 90| | Consols, 90* f New 3 per Cents, 9019U Long Annuities ( 1885), 18£ In the Foreign Market the principal movement has been in Turkish Bonds, which have fluctuated to the extent of about 1 per cent. The Four per Cents have been quiet, and Spanish and Russian Bonds have rather tended upwards. South Ame- rican Stocks have attracted very little attention. A remittance of £ 699 has been received on account of the Equador dividends. Mexican Stock has been steady notwithstanding the last steamer brought no funds for the bondholders. The latest prices of the Foreign Funds on Friday afternoon were :— Sardinian, 88 90 Spanish, 39i 40i Do Deferred, 25 Do Passive, 5J f Turkish 6 per Cents, 911 1 Ditto, 4 per Cents, 100 ex div Venezuela, 33 35 Dutch 2i per Cents, 64 Ditto 4 per Cents, 98f Belgian, 96 98 Brazilian, 102 Buenos Ayres, 83 86 Chilian, 102 104 Equador, 13* 14* Grenada, 22 23 Mexican, 22* Peruvian, 81J Portuguese 3 per Cents, 44* 45* Russian, 111 113 The business transacted in the Railway Share Market during the past week has been rather extensive, and some considerable fluctuations have taken place. Prices have been considerably influenced by the value of Consols, and the decline in some of the principal lines has been as much as 2 to 3 per cent. Great Westerns, owing to the smallness of the rumoured dividend, have declined about 3 per cent, Caledonian 1, Lancashire and Yorkshire 1, North Western *, Brighton 5, South Western 2, and South Eastern about North Eastern ( Berwick), North Eastern ( York), and one or two others have been at steady quotations. The foreign lines have been dull, and have exhibited little varia- tion, but for the Colonial undertakings prices have fluctuated to some extent. East Indian have improved about f, Grand Trunk of Canada declined *, and Great Western of Canada *, Mines, banks, and miscellaneous shares have been moderately active. Cobre Copper have receded about £ 2, Oriental Bank have declined 10s, and Union of Australia improved 5s. Austra- lian Agricultural Shares dropped 5s to 10s, Electric Telegraph advanced £ 1, and Peninsular and Oriental Steam declined £ 1, MURDER AT SHADWEIL.— On Thursday an inquest was held at the London Hospital, on the body of Sarah Hamilton, aged 24, who had been stabbed by an American sailor, named M'Clusky, in a brothel. It seemed that on Sunday morning they had a dispute about some money. The deceased had re- ceived 2s from M'Clusky, which she refused to return, when he said he would take some dresses which hung in the room or his money. Deceased called out that he was stealing the dresses, and other persons in the house came to their assistance. The prisoner then struck at her, and.- she fell exclaiming " Oh my belly." M'Clusky then ran off, and has not since been heard of. Another girl examined deceased, and finding she had been stabbed, called in the police, and the unfortunate creature was removed to London Hospital, where she died on Thursday. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against M'Clusky. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— Several additions have been lately completed for public inspection, and placed in this popular exhibition; among the latter is a portrait model of Bacon, lately convicted at Lincoln, for the murder of his mother by poison. He is placed by the side of Palmer and Dove, con- victed of a similar offence, of destroying their victims by means ® f poisonous drugs, CRYSTAL PALACE UNITED v TWENTY- TWO OF SYDENHAM AND DISTRICT.

We are sorry to hear that t his match, which had been looked forward to with so much interest, has been given up, in conse- quence of a difficulty in getting together a full Old Etonian eleven. We fear that the selection of this side was neglected in the early part of the year, for if it had been sooner placed in the energetic hands of a gentleman who at a late period undertook it, there can be no doubt that a very good match would have been the result. PUBLIC SCHOOL MATCHES. The following article, which we reprint from the columns of The Times, requires no comment. Such pressure from without will scarcely meet effective resistance another season :— There is an old, and we believe a very true story, about the great Duke of Wellington, which we would use as our text for the following remarks. Let not our readers take it amiss if, in the midst of rumours affecting the permanence of our Indian empire, we find time to say a word about English schoolboys and their English sports. The two subjects are intimately con- nected, for, if we would maintain that dominion as a reality, we must use the same kind of instruments to preserve it as were employed for its acquisition. Now, pedants and bookworms never won for us, and never will keep, the empire of British India. The story about the Duke of Wellington is this:— It is said that in his old age the great chief revisited the playing- fields of Eton. Before his eyes ran the same stream into which as a boy he had plunged, and tried to swim further than his fellows. There was the spot on which he had won his first battle against a lad who in his manhood struggled as a man should with the world, and who in his declining years was one of the brightest ornaments of London society. Half a century had passed away. The duke gazed upon the well- remembered scene, and for the time the old warrior was an Eton boy again. He had not, indeed, forgotten the brilliant onset of Assaye, that " simple matter of common sense," as he used himself to call it; nor the long- premeditated heroism of the lines of Torres Vedras, nor the daring manoeuvre of Salamanca, nor the crown- ing glory of Mont St Jean. We may well suppose— such was the simplicity of his character— that the thought may have crossed his mind, that it was strange that he, who had once been just like one of those eager schoolboys who were shouting and careering about before his eyes, could have aoted that great biography which is called " The Life of Arthur Wellesley." He watched for a time in silence the sports in which he had for merly played his part— the glowing health, the generous emula tion of the boys— and at last exclaimed, as under the influence of a strong conviction," Ay! it was at Eton that Waterloo was won. Was ever such a testimony borne to the excellence of that public school system which has had a great part in making England what it is ? Far bo it from us to disparage the literary and scholastic element in the conduct of these institutions, aiad, above all, the discipline and the alternate habits of obedience and command which in them are enforced. But who will deny that half— possibly the greater half— of this work is done by the boys themselves outside the school doors ? During the hours which are devoted to study the great merit of the master is shown in the method of his teaching, and in the strictness with which he requires the execution of the appointed tasks. When the forms are dismissed his discretion and judgment are mainly proved by the encouragement which he gives to all influences which may tend to the formation of a manly character among the boys. High among these are the out- of- door sports, in which so many generations of English schoolboys have taken delight. The value of these consists not only in their tendency to improve the health and fortify the constitution of the boys. The generous emulation they inspire, the spirit of self- control and patience which they necessitate, have as much to do with tHe formation of character as the habits of intellectual disci- pline which are gained by the more regular instruction of the masters. We should not insist so strongly upon the point but that there is just now a tendency— and we think a most unfor- tunate one— among the learned and excellent persons who are charged with the direction of our public schools, somewhat to depreciate the advantages derived from these manly sports. If argument were wanting to convince them of error, we should be perfectly willing to rest our case upon that strongest of all arguments— the juxtaposition of a French or German schoolboy and of his English compeer. Mark the habits of self- reliance, the vigour of body and mind, which have been engendered in the one by the out- of- doer life which he has led, and by the seeming anomaly that " he has been left a good deal to himselfwhile the un- developed frame and undecided character of the other tell a very plain tale of injudicious confinement, overstrained mind, and of a systematic substitution of the principle of authority for the spirit of independence. Leave, then, we say, Esaglish boys to their sports— experience has shown that sound learning does not suffer from the hours spent in the playing fields. There has, however, arisen some difference of opinion upon this subject. The masters of our principal public schools have, we regret to say, expressed their determination to put an end to those public trials of skill between the various schools which are the key- stone of the system. The boys will be left, as before, to play with each other in their playing grounds; but school is no more to be matched against school in friendly fight. The contest be- tween Eton and Westminster on the river, between Eton and Harrow at Lord's cricket ground, are to those little worlds the great events of the year. It is on account of these— it is in no small degree that he may win an honoured place among " the eight" or " the eleven," that the English schoolboy struggles on in competition with his fellows. Extinguish the rivalry between the schools and you do away with the great motive to exertion. The same result will follow to the character of the next gene- ration of English schoolboys, if these new- fangled notions are carried out, as would follow to Englishmen if the Beacon course at Newmarket were ploughed up— if Epsom Downs were con- verted into a site for a reformatory school— if Lord's cricket ground were devoted for the future exclusively to Cochin China fowls— if every eight- oar at Searle's were broken up for firewood, and the Yacht Club House at Cowes were used henceforward ex- clusively as lodgings for respectable families during their sojourn in the Isle of Wight. Abolish our Olympic, our Isthmian, our Nemsean games, and of the sports which in those exhibi- tions attain their culminating point there is an end. Injudi- cious as any attempt of this kind would at any time be, there is something monstrous in the method by which the authorities attempt to enforce their views. Let us confine attention to a single point for the moment— that is, to the cricket matches between the great schools. The practice for a long time past has been to play these matches in the holi- days. The lads came up to London from the houses of their respective parents, most generally stayed with friends in town, and, when the match was played out, returned home. The masters now say that these matches must take place no more. One consideration strikes one very forcibly at the outset, which is, that here is a most unnecessary attempt to supersede the parental by the magisterial authority. During the school terms the master is absolute. A parent who commits his son to his charge makes for a time abnegation of his authority. From the momenta however, that the boy has returned to his father's home until he is recommitted at the expiration of the vacation to the master's charge, the master's authority is at an end, or, rather. it never had existence at all. It is as monstrous on the part of the masters of Eton, of Winchester, of Westminster, or of Harrow, to say that the pupils of these schools shall not during the vacation play against the pupils ® f any other school as it would be to order the parents to take their sons to Ramsgate in place of Brighton, for change of air. As matters stand at present, any parent who may so choose it is perfectlv free to refuse permission to his son to form " one of the eleven" during the vacation ;— what more ii required? It is our province to point out the evil, not to suggest the remedy, but certainly ia this case we cannot see what harm would follow from allowing the champions of the public schools to come up to Lord's, at London, at the close of the half, or at any time during its continuance which might be most convenient, to decide the contest and to return. A great deal of nonsense has been talked about exposing the lads to the temptations of a great town, and it is said they never could be kept under due restraint, even if sent up under surveillance. Now, we know something about the nature of public schoolboys, and we would stake any sum upon this result. Put the lads under the charge of their captain, or put them merely upoa their honour, that such and such things were not to be done, and there would not be one instance in a thousand Gf violated faith. No need of masters, or ushers, or dames— trust to an English public schoolboy's word, and he will die before he breaks it. We trust the grave masters of these great establishments will reconsider their determination, and, at the least, leave things as they are. The subject, as we have already said, is not below the dignity of the present time. It is important to secure a race of young Englishmen who in days to come, when our bones have mouldered away, shall retain the grasp of England upoii the world. COUNTIES OF SURREY AND SUSSEX v ENGLAND. AUG 3.— This match, the first that has taken place on this ground under the above title, was begun at the Oval ori Monday last, and was continued until Wednesday. The weather was extremely hot, and during the first two days very nearly 6,000 must have been present. Very great pains had been bestowed upon the ground— the energetic secretary, Mr W. Burrup, especially, being personally in attendance to see all done that was necessary. A fair share of merit may also be allotted to Brockweli. On arriving on the ground, we were sorry to learn that Willsher, Tinley, and Bickley were absent from the England side, but from what cause could not exactly be clearly ascer- tained. The answer to inquiries was that Lord Stamford had refused to part with their services. Bell, E. Stephenson, ana Diver were substituted, which improved the batting depart- ment, but the bowling of England was in consequence very weak, which was proved before the Counties had twice been disposed of. Tne betting at starting was in favour of the Counties, who, having won the toss, sent in Caesar and Mr Miller to the bowling of Jackson and Bell. Mr Miller was caught cover- point, and thus the first wic'tet fell for 7 ruus. Caesar was caught, having contributed 18, by a five ( cut from Bickley), a four ( leg- hit from Jackson), a three ( cut), a two, and singles ; two wickets for 31 ruus. Mr E. Napper made 17, in which was a fine cut from Bell for live. Caffyn was bowled, having contributed 12 by a three ( cut from Jackson), two twos, and singles. The third fell lor 39, and the fourth for 70. Mr Burbidge played a very steady and masterly innings of 21, including a splendid on- drive from Jackson for six; he also made a four, a three, a two, and singles, all of which were obtained by real cricket; his, the fifth, wicket fell for 75, the sixth ( Wi3deu's) for 76, and the seventh ( Liliywhite's) for 9li. Lillywhite got a snick for five. Stephen- son and Loc& yer got well in, and, before they were parted, raised up a total of 125, when Lockyer was caught cover- point, making an excellent innings of 29, composed of a five ( cut from Bell), two fours ( drive and a cut from Bell and Jackson), a three, three twos, and singles. H. Stephenson had, exhibited to his i naoie, the same total, when Clarke also secured him— making an excellent catch of it. His figures were a six ( cut from Bell), two fours ( drive and a square leg- hit), two threes, a two, and singles. Both Lockyer and Stephenson were loudly applauded upon en- tering the dressing- room. Dean brought out his bat for 5, and the innings terminated at a quarter to four o'clock for 151, which, considering the excellent wickets, was not mare than was required. Both Bell and Jackson bowled remarkably well, and very nearly throughout the innings. England was well managed by John Walker, Esq, whose wicket- keeping was particularly noticed as first- class, more especially the manner in which he took Jackson. The long- stopping of Diver was, as usual, admirably accomplished— in fact, the fielding throughout was first- rate, Clarke, at cover- point and long- leg, distinguishing himself greatly. England sent in Grundy and E. Stephenson ( who played in a case of emergency, and proved rather a good one). Grundy was disposed of, and Mr Haygarth took his place, who ( with Steph nson) increased the Sucre from 14 to 48, when he was caught in the slip— playing a splendid innings of 20, com- posed of a four ( overthrow), three threes, a two, and singles. Parr followed, and a great stand was made— in fact they could not be got out that evening, and when the stumps were drawn Parr had scored 44 runs in 35 minutes, and Stephenson was in three hours lor 35 runs ; total 105, for two wickets— although 109 was announced by an error of the scorers. TUESDAY.— Parr and Stephenson resumed their places, the weather being, as usual, everything that a cricketer could desire. Parr was caught by the long- stop, after adding five more singles; his brilliant and not- to- be- excelled innings comprised a five ( drive from Stephenson), two fours ( one a leg- hit and the other a fluke), four threes ( drives, leg- hits, and cuts), seven twos ( at all points), and singles. His, the third, wicket fell for 118. Ste- phenson soon followed, who played a steady innings of 42. This player requires more " hitting," and he would then be a most excellent man in any eleven. Ball after ball he let off which should have been done something with. He has, however, an excellent defence, and will most likely get more confidence to get the " hit." His figures were a five ( leg- hit from Wisden), two { threes ( drive and a square leg- hit), four twos and singles. This, the fourth, wicket fell for 130 runs. Betting, 3 to 1 on Eng- land, which was laid many times over. Alfred Clarke was caught by the long- stop, making two fours, one an excellent leg- hit. Diver was then disposed of playing, as he has done all the season, a very fine innings of 22, made up by a four ( drive from Caffyn), two threes ( cut and a drive from Grundy), two twos, & c. The fifth and sixth wickets fell for 158 ; the seventh, Wright's, for 160 ; the eighth, Bell's, for 169 ; but Mr John Walker and Anderson increased the score to 185, when Mr Walker was caught at the wicket, making a good innings of 12, com- posed of a five ( leg- hit from Stephenson), two twos and singles. Jacksou made three twos, and was caught cover slip; thus Anderson had to bring out his bat for a score of 21, made by some brilliant hits of four fours ( two drives, a cut, and a square leg- hit), the remainder were singles. The innings closed at twenty- five minutes past two o'clock, for 203, heading their opponents 52 on the first innings. Wisden and Griffiths started the wrong ends, the former proved very difficult to play when he changed, as also did Catfyn at the same end against England in the second innings. Shortly before dinner the Counties sent in Caesar and Dean ; the former was determined, more so than we ever recollect seeing him. He made some brilliant hits, until dinner was announced; 27 runs and no wicket down. After the repast, Caesar was caught longish- on— bitting the ground with his bat as he struck the ball, otherwise it weuld have paid a visit to the palings; his spirited innings of 21 comprised three fours ( drive, square- leg, and a cut), a three ( leg), two twos, and singles. The first fell for 27, the second ( Dean's) for 34, as did also the third ( Caffyn's), the fourth for 41 ( E. Napper's), the. fifth for 59 ( Mr Burbidge's), the sixth for 61 ( Stephenson's), who, after adding 18, was well caught long- on by Bell; his figures comprised a lour ( leg- hit from Jackson), two threes ( drives from Jackson and Yorkshire Stephenson), a two, and singles. The betting at this period was 3 to 1 on England. Liilywhite and Lockyer, however, came to the rescue ; they kept possession of their wickets until the stumps were drawn, running up the score from 61 to 157 ! Bet- ting in favour of the Counties. What an extraordinary change in the game ! but not, however, without many " flukes. Jack- son bowled magnificently, and at the conclusion of the game was presented, with the usual liberality of the Surrey Club, with some " € alifornia" for the pluck and endurance he had shown. We may here add, that the bowling was completely collared by Lillywhite and Lockyer, and the absence of Willsher was much felt. There was no alternative but to keep Jackson on. The game thus left off six wickets for 157, for which number of wickets the total of 61 had been announced. WEDNESDAY.— The play could not be resumed till past one o'clock, owing to rain, wlaen Lillywhite and Lockyer resumed their plaees to Parr's slows and Jaekson. It was thought that, owing to the wet, the slows would prove destructive. Lilly- white was the first to succumb, being bowled by a simple half stump one. We cannot say that either Lillywhite or Lockyer's innings was first- class; that many brilliant hits were made, we must admit, but altogether they may both be termed " flukey." Lockyer was well caught mid- on by Grundy. Liliywhite's figures were four fives ( drive cut, leg- hit, and a fluke), one four ( drive), two twos ( flukes), and singles. Lockyer scored as fol- lows : one five ( cut from Grundy), three fours ( cut, fluke, and a drive), two threes ( drive and a fluke), ten twos ( more flukes than hits); his, the eighth wicket, fell for 175. Wisden made 30, but gave several chances in doing so; in fact, it could be well seen that the ground was tearing up, and that it required all the batsman's attention to keep the ball from the ground before entering into a fieldsman's hand. Wisden's figures were a five ( a very fine drive from Parr), two fours ( excellent drive and a cut from Parr), two threes and singles. The slow bowling was here knocked off. Mr Miller was beautifully caught at the point by Parr— making, previously, a drive from him for three. Griffiths made a good stand with Wisden, and increased the score from 188 to 221! when Wisden got caught coverslip. Griffith's figures were two fours ( drive from Parr and a leg- hit from Bell), a two and singles. The innings closed at five minutes past two o'clock for the number of 221, leaving England 170 to get to win, a task which was next to an impossibility, con- sidering how the wickets had been worn for two days and a half. The bowling of Jackson was of a first- class description, and deserves the highest praise possible, not- withstanding that he was so completely collared. England commenced their hopeless task, and the only one who could at all master the bowling was the unrivalled George Parr, he playing, under all the difficulties of the ground, in a most commanding and masterly manner. Caffyn bowled ad- mirably, and it was at once conceived that nothing could be done with him. Any odds might have been laid by good judges that the Counties won. Parr's figures were two fours ( a cut and a drive from Griffith), a three ( leg- hit from Caffyn), two twos, and singles. Mr John Walker made an excellent stand with Parr, and had to succumb to a popper, being caught in the slip. The match terminated at five o'clock, in favour of from the secretary of the Surrey County Club, stating that the | names were inserted in their bills owing to a promise from Lord | Stamford that they should play. We have not space for its ! insertion, but he is evidently anxious that the Surrey Club ! should be cleared from any blame. DEAN'S LA. TE BENEFIT.— Messrs Lillywhite and Wisden of, Leicester- square have received from the Surrey Club, on behalf of Dean, the sum of £ 20 3s, subscribed by members, which ; Dean has requested us to acknowledge through the medium of our columns. He hopes that other clubs will now forward their lists, and we shall then b. 3 enabled to announce the result. We have received £ 1 Is from Mr I. Piuborn. CRICKET AT TUNBRIDGE WELLS. A match was played on Thursday, July 30, between the resi- dent and visiting Gentlemen v Club at Tuubridge Wells. The scores were as follows, the Gentlemen winning by 8 runs, after a very exciting game: GENTLEMEN. 1st inn 2d inn A.

Mr Vyse had prepared good wicket3 and a strong Twenty- two. The Eleven won the toss, but owing to the dead- ness of the ground put their opponents in first, which proved good generalship. The weather was showery, but, nevertheless, a good company was in attendance. The full report of the play will appear in our next.

We cannot conclude our remarks without alluding to the excellent judgment displayed in the management of the England side, also the very fine wicket- keeping of Mr John Walker. Caesar was busy at point, but the poppers caused his name to thus figure. The liberality of the Surrey Club may be gathered from the following fact:— Parr, Caffyn, Jackson, Lillywhite, and Lockyer had a handsome donation for their batting and bawling, all of whom were called to the pavilion, and presented with the same, before a large concourse of spec- tators, and a hearty huzza.

This match was played at Brockham Green, on Wednes- day, July 29th. The Brockham gents having no efficient long stop, played at a great disadvantage. The bowling of Batchelar being very fast and difficult to stop, he endeavoured to accom- modate his party by not putting 011 his usual steam, which accounts for his small success. The bowling of Upfold, and the batting of Jupp and Boxall, were exceedingly good. Score: 1st inn .. 0 BROCKHAM CLUB. A. Batchelar, b Allen Wise, Esq, b Penfold Green, Esq, b Penfold J.

MONDAY.— THE MILITIA.— Lord PANMURE brought ia a bill to enable the Government to embody certain regiments of the militia, should the requirements of the public service render such a step necessary during the recess.— After some discussion, in the course of which the Government was taunted by Lords DERBY and HARDWICKE with having changed its mind on this matter, the bill was read a first time. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.— Lord HARDWICKE called the attention of the Government to the subject of the Australian postal contract, and in a lengthy speech declared that the com- pany with which the existing contract was made having failed to fulfil its obligations, the contract itself was void, and the Government free to enter into a fresh contract.— The Duke of ARGYLL entered into the details of the question, and contended that the performance of the contract had not been hitherto so unsatisfactory as to warrant the Government in throwing it up, especially as an element in that contract was the enforce- ment of certain penalties.— The Earl of DEEBY thought the system of penalties one of very doubtful expediency, and warned the Government against continuing what was understood to be a very extravagant contract.— The Duke of ARGYLL replied, and the matter dropped. TUESDAY.— Several bills were read a third time and passed, and the house adjourned. THURSDAY- THE MILITIA— The Marquis of SALISBURY, on the question of the second reading of theMilitiaBill, expressed a hope that every encouragement would be given to enlistment from the militia into tke line— The Duke of RICHMOND thought it would be very desirable if the commanding officers of militia regiments were empowered to make an arrangement with the men whose term was expiring some two or three months pre- vious to the expiration of that term.— Lord PANMURE said that every facility would be given to such enlistments.— The Duke of CAMBRIDGE had heard the sentiments expressed by their lord- ships with the greatest satisfactien. No army could be com- plete and efficient in the field unless it had reserves to draw upon. The militia at home stood in this relation to the army in India, and therefore the determination of the Government to embody the militia if necessary had his cordial approval.— The bill was then read a second time. THE FRAUDULENT TRUSTEES BILL AND THE TRUSTEES RELIEF BILL passed through committee. Lord ST LEONARDS withdrew his bill for simplifying the transfer of real estates. THE SUPERANNUATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL was read, a second time on the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE. FRIDAY.— Nothing of any interest transpired, the busines being entirely of a routine nature. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— THE JEW'S OATH BILL.— Lord J. RUSSELL, in moving for a select committee to consider whether the act 5 and 6 William IY., cap 62, be applicable to oaths appointed by law to be taken by members of that house at the table, previously to their taking their seats, and in what manner the act can be so applied, made a statement in order to lay a foundation for the motion. He had a bill upon the paper, he observed— the Oaths Validity Act Amendment Bill— which stood for a second reading that evening; but Baron Rothschild had informed him: that he had been advised that under the act referred to the house might, by an order, enable him to make a declaration in lieu of the Oath of Abjuration, and that, if the house took that course, he was ready to make such declara- tion. Anticipating an objection that the declaration must contain the words " on the true faith of a Christian," Lord John argued, upon the strength of Mr Pease's case, and upon other authorities, that the house might omit these words. If the house could do so, he was sure that it would be a great relief to many; and where a person had been duly elected a member, and had a prima, facie right to take his seat, it would be desi- rable to find that the law interposed no insuperable obstacle.— Sir F. THESIGER said he did not intendto divide the house upon the motion, although it proposed to delegate the functions of the house to a committee ; but he argued from the proceedings in Mr Pease's case, and in that of Baron Rothschild, that the omission of any reference to the act in question was owing to a belief that the act had no bearing upon the question.— After some observations from Lord PALMEBSTON, the motion was agreed to, and the committee was arrranged to consist of 25 members to be nominated by the house in addition to all the legal members of the house. PROBATES OF WILLS.- The house then went again into committee upon the Probates and Letters of Administration Bill, and discussed at much length the compensation clauses and certain new clauses, including one moved by Mr Malins, giving to proctors, by way © f compensation, an annual payment during life equal to one- half of their net proctorial profits. Mr Malins stated that this clause was identical with one inserted in the Government bills of 1855 and 1856, and that the proctors were willing, if it should be adopted, to relinquish the qualified mono- poly of business secured to them by the bill.— Tfee ATTORNEY- GENERAL said, upon the understanding that the proctors gave up their monopoly of business not only in the Testamentary Court, but in the Marriage and Divorce Court and the Court of Admiralty, so that all the courts might be thrown open, he thought the Government were pledged to the proposal of last year, from which he would not retire ; but he suggested that, at the expiration of three years after the act came into opera- tion, an account should be taken of the professional gains of the proctors, and if it should turn out that they had diminished during those three years compared with the three years pre-, ceding the Act, for that loss they should be compensated.— Mr MALINS elected. 011 behalf of the proctors, the former alterna- tive ; and upon the understanding that the clauses necsssarv upon this alteration should be added to the bill on recommit- ment prp/ orais, which the Attorney- General undertook to do, he withdrew tne clause.— The bill was ordered to be reported a « amended. THE GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH CONTINUANCE BILL was read a third time and passed. TUESDAY.- THE JEW BILL.— The members of the com mitteeon this question were nominated, and it was arranged the first sitting should take place on Thursday. DIVORCE.— The house then went into committee on the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill.— Mr " WARREN could not understand why a bill of such momentous consequence to the interests of society should be forced forward during the last days of the session. It was a bill, too, that was founded on several misrepresentations, particularly as to the unanimity of the report which it professed to proceed upon, and then as to the alleged fact that it made no alteration in the law.— A long discussion ensued, and ultimately the chairman reported progress. WEDNESDAY— THE OBSCENE PUBLICATIONS BILL was read a second time. THE BURIAL ACTS AMENDMENT BILL and the ILLICIT DISTILLATION ( IRELAND) BILL were read a third time, and passed. LEASES AND SALES OF ESTATES.— The adjourned debate upon the secoad reading of the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act Amendment Bill was resumed by Lord R. GROSYENOE, who opposed the bill, contending that if the clauses which it proposed to repeal in the set of last year were repealed, the house would stultify itself. He moved to defer the second reading for three months.— In a debate of some length the supporters of the bill insisted that the clauses sought to be repealed were aimed exclusively at Sir Thomas Wilson, and Sir J. Graham was very strongly of opinion that injustice had been thereby done to that gentleman.— Upon a division, the second reading was carried by 77 to 59. THURSDAY- THE DIVORCE BILL— The house went again into committee upon the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill, commencing with the 8th clause, specifying the judges who were to constitute the full court.— Mr DRUMMOND moved to omit the clause, with the view of substituting a clause enacting that the Judge of the Court of Probate should be the sole judge of the Court of Divorce and Matrimonial Causes, with full autho- rity to hear and determine all matters arising therein,— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said that, after mature consideration, he was satisfied of the propriety of adhering to the clause as it stood.— Strong objections to the proposed constitution of the court were urged by Lord J. Manners, Mr Malins, Lord J. Rus- sell, and Mr Henley.— Sir G. GREY suggested that the clause might be allowed to stand until the other clauses were consi- dered, and upon the report of the house might decide spon the exoediency of any alteration in the constitution of the court.— A long discussion, in which increasing importance was attached to this clause, terminated in a division in its favour. In the ninth clause, to the matters reserved for the jurisdiction of not less than three judges of the court were added petitions for annulling a marriage. While this clause was under discussion the Government were much pressed, as the existing country machinery was to be swept away to provide some local juris- diction, and an amendment was moved by Mr DRUMMOND, which he subsequently withdrew as being informal) em- powering the Judge Ordinary, within certain limitations, to authorise the county courts to try cases and decree judicial separation. On arriving at the 16th clause the ohairman was ordered to report progress. WILLS.— Sir F. KELLY moved the third reading of the Wills, & c, of British Subjects Abroad Bill, which, after a few remarks by the ATTORNEY- GENERAL, was agreed to, and the bill passed. THE SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS, & c, PREVENTION BILL was committed pro forma FRIDAY- TROOPS FOR INDIA.- In the evening sitting Mr V. SMITH, in reply to Mr W. Vansittart, said that Govern- ment had sent out one regiment to replace the troops withdrawn during the Crimean war, and three battalions of the 60th Rifles. Four regiments had been sent out to Point de Gaile to rendezvous there, and be transmitted to Bombay and Madras, or any of the disturbed districts of the Indian Presidencies. The Iudian Government had made a requisition for two regiments of foot for Bombay, and two more for Madras, which had been sent out with all possible despatch. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL.— The house w ent into committee on this bill, and the discussion of the clauses occupied the remainder of the evening. TRIAL OF THE ALLEGED ASSASSINS IN FRANCE.— The fol- lowing telegraphic despatoh appears in The Times of Saturday :— " Paris, Friday evening, August 7, 8 p. m.— The trial of the Italians accused of an attempt to assassinate the Emperor ter- minated at 5: 40 p. m. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with extenuating circumstances in favour of Bartolotti and Grilli. The Procureur- G6uerai demanded the application of Article 89 of the Penal Code to the three accused, modified by Article 460 as regarded the two latter. The Court, after de « liberating in the Council Chamber, sentenced Tibaldi to trans- Dortation, and Bartolotti and Grilli to 15 years' imprisonment," HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— The extra performances at this house terminated on Thursday night, with a miscellaneous en- tertainment, which attracted a crowded audience, and thus ends the season of 1857, a season remarkable for the great quantity of new vocal talent made manifest to the public. ARSON, HOMICIDE, AND SUICIDE.— A shocking tragedy has been enacted at Cincinnati— arson, a double homicide, and the suicide of the murderer. A respectable merchant named Horton was awakened at dead of night by smoke entering his chamber. On going into the hall to ascertain the cause he was stabbed with a large knife, by his servant man, a young German named Loefner. The alarm was given and the fire extinguished, but Mr Horton soon after expired. The murderer, who had previ- ously strangled his wife, was subsequently found in the garden bleeding from wounds inflicted by his own hand. Jealousy prompted the commission of the crime.— New York Herald. IMPORTATION OF ARABIAN HORSES INTO AMERICA.— AI who take an interest in horses will be pleased to hear that a praiseworthy essay to improve the native American breeds— the best trotters in the world— by an infusion of pure Arabian blood, has just been made by an American gentleman, Mr W. M'Donald, of Baltimore. While on an Eastern tour, he pur- chased at Damascus a superb grey mare, Fatme, 4 years old, 15 hands high, and a beauty in every respect; and at Constanti- nople a 5 year old mare, Zuleima, which is described as unri- valled for temper and speed. These two horses have safely ar- rived at Paris en route to the States. Mr M'Donald also takes home a rich collection of Eastern and modern antiquities, which will give the inhabitants of Maryland an excellent idea of the manners and customs of the natives of the far East. THE CAITHNESS MOORS.— Last year the extensive moors of this county proved to be amongst the best in all Scotland. They promise to be equally good this season. Birds are plentiful strong on the wing, and the coveys average six birds each. The shootintts of Mr Dunbar, of Brawl Caith, near Thurso, stand in the foremost rank. We hear that the fine estates of Mr Donald Home, Laugwell and Borredale, are about to change hands. Happy the eventual possessor! For scenery, abundance of red deer, grouse, salmon and sea trout, they are not surpassed by any districts in the Highlands. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.- FBIDAY.
