When about SO miles had been paid out the Niagara slightly rounded, and her weight being brought upon the thick unyielding shore cable, it necessarily snapped. Im- mediate steps wf re taken to underrun the sunken line, and were attended by perfect success, notwithstanding its massive weight, which is eight tons to the mile. In this service the boats of the Leopard and of the Susquehanna rendered great and valuable service. The raised portion was then joined uu as firmly as ever to the remainder of the Niagara's cable, and the work proceeded as before. The ships at once recomsienced their outward voyage at a slow rate of sailing. On Monday morning a telegraphic despatch was forwarded to the effect that 200 miles had been paid off. Up to four o'clock on Tuesday morning constant sig- nals and messages had been received, in one of which, received some 20 hours previously, it was stated that the ship had arrived in the two miles' depth. At four a. m. ( Irish time) the electric signals suddenly ceased. On testing for insulation there was found to be a total loss, which from indications of resistance would seem to have occurred at a distance of from 350 to 40ft miles from Valentia. There is, however, hope that the loss of insulation may have been caused by some injury to a portion being payed into the water, but not dissevered from the re- maining portion of the cable, and that they will be enabled, by the aid of apniiances on board, to haul in and repair so much of it as will re- establish continuity aud insulation. With a view to this possibility, signals of great energy are now being constantly sent. On Thursday. H. M. S. Cyclops, which accompanied the ex- pedition, returned to Valentia with the information that the • cable has been injured, and a length of about three hundredth miles is lost for the present. A considerable part of this, how- ever, may yet be recovered. ELECTION COMMITTEES.— Petitions were presented against no less than 51 of the returns made at the general election, but only 25 returns actually became the subjects of investigation, the petitions against the remaining 26 having been withdrawn. The greater number of these returns gave rise to two or more petitions. Including Huntingdon, for which there was a double return, 33 members were obliged to defend their seats, of whom nine were unseated. In only one case, exclusive of Hunting- don, was a disputed seat given to a petitioner, the exceptional case being Sligo, which is now represented by Mr J. Wynne instead of Mr J. P. Somers. The grounds upon which the re- turns were impugned were in two cases— Mayo and Drogheda— violence, intimidation, aud undue influence; in two cases— Marlborough and Beverley— insufficient qualification of the sit- ting members ; aud in five cases— Cambridge, Wareham, Bath, Huntingdon, and Sligo— the improper reception and rejection of votes. In the remaining 16 cases the allegations substantially relied on by the petitioners were those of bribery, corrupt prac- tices, and treating. Out of the nine members who have lost their seats, two— Mr Heathcote and Mr Somers— were unseated upon a scrutiny : one— Mr Glover— for want of qualification : five— Mr Neate, Mr O'Flaherty, Mr Merry, Mr Watkin, and Mr Torrens M'Cullagh— fer bribery committed by their agents; and oue— Mr Moore— for undue influence exercised by his agentsl In no case has a committee in unseating a member declared that he was cognisant of the acts on account of which lie was un- seated. Ou the other hand, only two petitions— those against the returns of Mr Houpell for Lambeth and Mr Bramley- Moore for Maldon— have been declared frivolous and vexatious.

It cannot surely encourage them into mutiny. We are perfectly well aware of the blind ferocity of purpose which priests can inspire into their followers wnen they think their creed and church are threatened, and the case of Col Wheler with the 84th Regt, N. I., shows how much g/ oupd of suspicion for them to work upon can be afforded by a rooiisn zealot, who seems almost to be playing into their hands ; but the chances of success are not always overlooked even by higotea priests and their stupid followers, and when they found tnat in the great centre of the mutiny their cause was auythiflg nut successful, they would not very readily subject themselves to suffering in order to gain nothing but defeat. We await wnn anxiety but not without hope the details of the news, of which the telegraph has only given us the outline. The telegraph or Friday announces that there are nearly 8,000 Europeans and 5,000 native troops ( whose fidelity is said to be " proved ) before Delhi. We fear that this is another case of a hesitating General at the head of good troops whom he is sacrificing by his hesita- tion. But before we absolutely come to this conclusion we await further information. ^ THE " ASSASSINATION" TRIAL IN FRANCE. The so- called " trial" of the so- called conspirators has taken place, and three men, Tibaldi, Bartolotti, and Grilli have been sentenced. If the fact of a verdict of Guilty having been pro- nounced, and a sentence having followed it, could be taken as proof that the verdict was just and the sentence well warranty there would be an end of the matter. But with reasonable men some evidence is required that the trial was fair, that the evi- dence was clear and strong, and that the conclusion was just. No one of these conditions was fulfilled in this case. There is not the least legal proof of the guilt of Tibaldi, and as to the other two who made a " confession," it is plain that they had no evil intention of assassinating the Emperor, and their con- duct looks exactly like that of men who would promise to do anything that was asked of them, provided that they got money by the promise. They seem rather spies than conspirators. That they did get some money here is plain, but there is nothing to show that they did not get it from police agents, who created a plot, and secured two spendthrift fools for their victims or their agents. . The object of the Government was not the conviction of these men— that conviction was to be the means to an end, and that end is the getting England to consent to place the French refugees at the mercy of the French Government. But England will not do this except on a plain necessity. And here there is none. No man, in the least degree acquainted with criminal jurisprudence, can be otherwise than deeply dissatisfied ( we use the gentlest expression) with the whole of this proceeding. Charges made in the indictment are stat^ As » the law officers of the crown to have been made on the au^ Hpity of tho examina- tions of the two accused, Bartolotti andTmlli; but these men, even under the coercion of a severe interrogative examination ( all the more potent because it was made by the chief judge), both affirm that what they said in their preliminary examinations had not been correctly taken down, but had been altered by suppressions and additions. Think of a " confession " cooked for a purpose by those who receive it! There is no doubt that such was the case here. Then again, tvhat wa call a cross- examination of a witness is not allowed to the prisoner's counsel ( some of the witnesses would not have stood two minutes of an English cross- examination); he is restricted to making speeches, but he must even mako them upon the assumption of those facts, or statements of facts, which the accusing judge has settled, and which he is not allowed to dispute. With such a mode of proceeding it is not to be wondered at that the poor wretches were found guilty ; the wouder would be that men, under such cireumstauces, should ever establish their innocence, even were they as innocent as a new- born babe. The French Government has got its verdict; for that it cared little. As we have before said, the whole affair was but a means to an end, and what that end is has been more than once avowed by the Procureur- General himself. It is that of depriving Ledru Rollin of an asylum in England. He assumes that this trial will have that effect. He is wrong. There is not the remotest reason or even pretence to connect Ledru Rollin with this police- got up conspiracy; and while he denies the charge no Englishman will believe it till it has been fairly proved against him. Let him have a fair English trial ( he has chal- lenged it), and if on that he is convicted we shall readily agree with any sentence which the court may pass upon him. This will not happen. The whole thing is too great a farce to be submitted to investigation before an English jury.

TROOPS FOR INDIA,— An intimation was on Tuesday forwarded to Colonel Bloomfleld, commanding the Royal Artillery garrison at Woolwich, that his Royal Highness the General Commaud- ing- in- Chief would inspect the troops on the following morning. Accordingly the entire garrison was on Wednesday morning as- sembled on Woolwich Common, and drawn up in two liues, con- sisting of every available man off duty. The front was composed of the troops of the Royal Horse Artillery and the battalion companies under © rdera for India; the second line was formed of the battalions, Royal Horse Artillery, and the battery com- panies. A royal salute from the gun park at ten o'clock an- nounced the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge, who proceeded to the review ground on the common, accompanied by General Sir Hew Dalrymple Ross, G. C. B., adjutant- general to the Royal Artillery, & c. The troops then marched past in slow aiid quick time, and retired to quarters. At two p. m. the four companies about to proceed to India were marched down to the Royal Arsenal pier, preceded by the regimental band, and embarked in the following order:— Major M. C. Smith, in command; Major C. E. Walcott, Lieutenants V. D. Majeudie, F. A. Whinyates, Henry Edmeades, a surgeon and veterinary sur- geon, and 143 rank and file, composing the 7th com- pany, 14th batlalion, Royal Artillery; and Lieut- Colonel S. E. Gordon, in command, Second- Captain Charles Johnston, Lieutenants B. F. Schreiber, W. Gilmour, and E. Egan, a sur- geon and veterinary surgeou, and 143 non- commissioned officers and men of the 4th company of the 14th battalion of the Royal Artillery, on board the screw steamship Sydney, Captain Carter, for Calcutta. The other two companies embarked on board the screw steamship Victoria, Captain Thornhill, for Madras, and consisted of No. 3, 3d battalion of the Royal Artillery— namely, Major J. Godby, commanding, Second- Captain R. H. R. Rowley, Lieutenants J. F. B. Brown, A. A. Stewart, and R. P. L. Welch, a surgeej « njd veterinary surgeon, and 143 non- commissioned officers ana gunners; No. 6 of the 14th battalion, consisting of Captain E. Palmer, commanding the company, Second- Captain L. A, Bradshaw, Lieutenants J. P. Morgan, F. H. Redhead, and H. Brackenbury, a surgeou and veterinary- surgeon, together with 143 rank and file; also Lieutenant Brock, 82d Regiment of the Line, Ensign Wilson of the 53d, three sergeants, and 122 privates of tho 82d, who arrived the same morning frcm the depot at Chatham, under the superintendence of Captain Bailie, 82d Regiment. The whole of this large body of troops were em- barked in perfect order, there being only one defaulter, the ag- gregate number amounting to 30 officers and 694 rank and file, a great number of whom were volunteers from other companies. So great was the desire for service that a large number of volun- teers were rejected. The two ships sailed down the river about five p. m. The James Baines and Champion of the Seas, clippers, Captains M'Donnell and M'Kirdy, left Spithead, in tow of the powerful steam tugs ( which took them from Liverpool to Ports- mouth harbour) Resolute> nd Blazer, at one p. m. on Saturday, The James Baines took out Lieutenant- Colonels Ingram and Legh, Brevet Lieutenant- Colonels Burton and Turner, Captains Hawkins, Harenc, Venables, Jones, Annesley, Browne, Wilkie, aud Ingram ; Lieuts Harmond, Morgan, Onslow, Fitzgerald, Gould, Smyth, Safford, Mellay, and M'Donald ; Ensigns Parker, Barber, Cookesley, Slator, Lowe, Thompson, Fulford, Grey, Adjutant and Ensign Smith, Quartermaster Woodroffe, Surgeon Barry, M. D. ; Assistant- Surgeons Porter, Sinclair, M. D,, and Drumbeck, 52 sergeants, 21 drummers, 34 corporals, and 711 privates of the 97th Regiment. These troops are all armed with the 1853 pattern rifle, and have taken out 480,140 rounds of ball cartridge, 600,175 percussion caps, and 1,049 rifles. Major Wilkinson, Captains Ward and Baird, Lieutenants M'Leod and Stewart, 10 sergeants, 2 drummers, 6 corporals, and 160 privates of the 42d Highlanders also have gone iu the James Baines. The 44th, 66tb, and 72d Regiments will embark at Ports- mouth about the 18th inst for India, The two troop- ship3, Victoria and Sydney, for Madras and Calcutta, although actually under way, on Wednesday evening, at five o'clock, from Woolwich pier, were recalled by an order from the East India House, whence Mr Ritherton, the surveyor to the board, had been despatched for the purpose of detaining the vessels, in order to complete the fulLshipment of the extra- ordinary amount of ammunition and cartridges to be supplied to the troops now embarked— viz, 400 rounds per man. The following vessels have been taken up for the conveyance of treops to India:— Screw steamers— Chersonese, City of Man- chester, and Bombay Castle. Sailing ships : Lightning ( a splen- did clipper ship), Waterloo, Sedgmoor, and the Southampton. THE COMMAND IN INDIA.— Major- General Sir Hugh Rose will command a division, and Colonel Percy Herbert a brigade in the army which has just beendespatchedjto India. General Rose, it will be remembered, was for some time Consul- General in Syria, was then for a while Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople, and was the Military Commissioner with the French army in the Crimea. Ho also filled for some months the same position with the Austrian army. Colonel Percy Herbert was Deputy Quarter- master- General of the Division under Sir De Lacy Evans in the Crimea, and was afterwards Quartermaster- General of the army iu the Crimea. Major- General Wiadham will also command a division in India. The latter leaves England on the 20th inst. THE INSPECTOR- GENERAL OP INFANTRY.— Major- General Sir F. Love, who has succeeded Sir Colin Campbell, G. C. 13., as Inspector- General of Infantry, entered on the duties of his appointment on Wednesday. BREECH- LOADING CANNON.— Mr Eastman's six breech- loading cannon, recently imported from America, were on Tuesday tried on the Arsenal Wharf, Woolwich, under the supervision of Lieutenant- Colonel Wilmot, Superintendent of Government sun factories at Woolwich, and having been twice fired with a double charge of blank cartridge— namely, 201b of powder— they were examined, and found to have stood the test satisfactorily. The guns were simply pointed and placed in position on a temporary platform, composed of rough and unsecured planks, and from their enormous weight— 17 tons— they did not evince the slightest movement, nor recoil. The material of which they are cast is American charcoal iron of the fiaest quality. From experiments made in the United States this species of cannon is found to project a 32- pouud elongated rifle shell over a flight of four English miles. The huge mortar recently constructed at Blackwall, under the direction of Lord Palmerston, is expected to be proved in a few days in the long range of the Woolwich marsh, a platform of 36 feet by 32 feet having been erected for that purpose. __ NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Cell's 2Ltfe tn £ onfton* LONDON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 16. INDIA. The news from India, brought by the last telegraph, is as little unfavourable as could be expected. It is true that the mutineers still held Delhi; but they were in the condition of men hemmed in by a conquering foe, and their own state as to food and disease appears to be dreadful. The telegraph reports that the " mutiny is extending." This is possible, but doubt- ful. It may please the enemies of England to crcate or to circu. late the report, but we do not entirely credit it. The mutineers throughout Iudia have been induced to look to Delhi as the centre of their power. If the new sovereign there was in a prosperous condition— if the city was free— if his arms were triumphant and his enemies in flight, it might easily be sup- posed that thousands in every part of India would be likely to raise his standard in the desire to enjoy the supposed advantage ( though it might prove a hollow vanity) of being again under the authority of a Native Prince. But, when the reverse of all this is the case— when every sally has been disastrous— when his troops are constantly defeated with great loss— and the city, which is his empire, is not merely beleaguered by a victorious army, but its defenders are sinking under the pestilence which reigns within its walls, it is at least difficult to believe that the natives in other places are hurriedly casting themselves into the stream of misfortune and destruction. The real state of things jit Delhi is as well known THE REINFORCEMENTS POR CHINA AND EAST INDIES.— Princess Charlotte, 104, Captain F. V. King, C. B., arrived at Madeira, from Devonport, and left July 15, for China, calling at the Cape, taking orders to the commander- in chief at the latter place to send the Megsera, screw troop ship, Commander Purvis, to Calcutta, with a regiment; and to send the Penelope, 10, paddle, Captain Sir W Wiseman, Bart, also to Calcutta, with troops, and to place her at the disposal of the Governor- General. The Princess Charlotte left Devouport July 1.— Simoom, 8, screw troop- ship, Commanebr J. M. Cooke, it appears by the overland telegraph, had arrived at Calcutta with the 5tli Fusiliers. Out of the nine screw troop ships no less than six are on the East Iudia station or en route— namely. Himalaya, Transit, Assist- ance, Adventure, Megaera, and Simoom. If the Himalaya and Transit are not fallen in with before, doubtless orders will catch them at Singapore to proceed to Calcutta with their regiments. — Captain Sherard Osborn, C. B., in the Furious, 16, paddle, and his fifteen screw gun- boats, left Rio de Janeiro for China, July 4. — Melville, 6, hospital twe- decker, for China, Commander Trol- lope, left Madeira July 8, en route for China.— Rear- Admiral Provo Wallis's flag- ship Cumberland, 70, Captain Dickson, C. B., from Devonport July 1, left Madeira July 15 for Rio, to relieve the Indefatigable, 50, Captain Thomas Hope, flag- ship of Rear- Admiral Hope Johnstone, whose term of service has expired as commander- in- chief.— Rear- Admiral the Hon F. W. Grey's flag- ship Boscawen, 70, Captain Powell, C. B., left Madeira, July 28, for the Cape, to relieve the Castor, 36, ordered home. TEE INDIAN MUTINY. DELHI NOT TAKEN. Telegraphic despatches arrived in London on Wednesday afternoon, anticipatory of the Overland Mail:— 1 The dates of this intelligence are from Bombay to the 14th of July; from Calcutta to the 5 th of July; from Ceylon to the 14th of July; and from Hong Kong to the 24th of June. Delhi had not fallen up to the 27th of June. The rebels had made several desperate sorties, but had each time been repulsed with great slaughter. The city was reported to be full of sick and wounded, and the cholera was prevalent. Reinforcements had begun to reach the British carr. p, The Bombay and Madras armies continue firmly loyal. The Punjaub remains quiet. At Sirsa, General Van Cortlandt attacked aud completely defeated the insurgents, inflicting heavy loss upon them. General Wood- burn's column had crushed the rebellion at Aurungabad. The Simoom had arrived at Calcutta with the 5th Fusiliers. The Calcutta markets continued dull. The Bank of Bengal had raised its interest. Exchange was 2s. 2£ d. At Bombay the markets were quiet. Government securities had given way. At Madras the import market continued buoyant. The demand for exports was unabated. From China there is no news of import- ance. Trade continued to be interrupted at the northern ports of China." Another despatch says :— " The European, from Australia, has not yet arrived. There was no news of her from Ceylon. Up to the 27th June Delhi was not taken. There was much fighting outside the walls. The rebels were defeated on all occasions. The city is in a dreadful state with sick, wounded, cholera, and famine at hand. The mutiny is on the increase. General Van Cortlandt, who is marching upon Hansi and Stissan, had two engagements with the rebels near Firs Sirsa; the last of them a very decided one, as the mutineers fled in disorder, leaving two hundred dead and many prisoners." GOVERNMENT DESPATCH.— The following despatch was com- municated by the Foreign Office to the evening editions of Wed- nesday's papers:— " From Vice- Consul Raven, dated Trieste, Wednesday, August 12, noon— Received 5: 26 p. m. " Subjoined is a message to Sir Jas. Melville, London, for- warded by me from Captain Johnson, Alexandria, under date from Alexandria, August 7:—' The Indian mail has arrived, with news from Bombay to July 14. Delhi had not fallen up to the 27th of June. There had been a good deal of fighting outside the fort walls. The rebels were repulsed with loss on every occasion. General Van Cortlaadt, when marching upon Sirsa and Hissar, had two engagements with the rebels near Sirsa, the last being a very decided one. The rebels fled in disorder, leaving two hundred dead on the field, besides prisoners. The Punjaub remains quiet. General Woodburn's column crushed the rebel- lion at Aurungabad. Intelligence has been received of the mutiny of the troops at Moradabad, Fyzabad, Seetapore, Agore, Nowgaon, Banda, Futtyghur, Mhow, and Iudore. The gover- nors of the presidencies are at their respective seats. The money market was iu a very unsettled state. Money difficult to be had on any terms. Government securities have given way considerably. Import market very quiet; business done to a moderate extent. Freights advanced a little. The first batch of China troops arrived in Calcutta, per Simoom, about the 2d of July, Calcutta— Exchange on England, 2£.' ( Signed) " RAVEN." From the Daily News of Friday ( second edition), we extract the following from the summary of the Bombay Times, of July 14 '•— " In the last fortnight we have probably passed ' the flood' of the insurrection, and may now hope that our future advices will be chiefly occupied with a recital of the subsidence of this great rebellion, and the restoration of order in the disturbed provinces. The truth is there are no more regiments to mutiny, unless they are to be those of Bombay and Madras, concerning the fidelity of which there is not the slightest ground of sus- picion. Delhi had not fallen up to the 27th June, the date of our latest advices, via Lahore. There has been a good deal of fighting outside the walls, the rebels being defeated on every occasion with great slaughter, and it is matter of much congratulation that the apparent hopelessness of their cause has effectually checked the disposition of the mutineers at other stations to proceed to their assistance. The only attempt which has been made to reinforce them, seems to have been on the part of the Nusseerabad mutineers, who were cut up dreadfully on the occasion by General Barnard's force. Whether any of them got inside the walls or not we cannot say. During the fortnight just elapsed we have received intelligence of the mutiny of the troops at Moradabad, Fyzabad, Seeta- poore, Saugor, Nowgong, Banda, Futteghur, Mhow, and Indore. It is now evident that an arrangement existed between the troops at Bareilly, Shabjehaupore, Lucknow, and Moradabad to effect a simultaneous rising, a glance at the map will show the proximity of these stations to each other, aud the outbreak occurred at each ou the morning of the same day. Concerning the mutiny at Nowgong, we simply know the fact that the head- quarters of the 12th Native Infantry and of the 14th Irregular Cavalry stationed there have followed the example of the left wing of each corps which was stationed at Jhansi, but that the officers are safe. The news of the Jhansi mutiny we communicated by last mail, with an account of the bloody tragedy enacted on that occasion by the massacre of all the Europeans in the place. We now learn that, besides Mrs Skene and family, Mrs Browne, Miss Browne, and Miss David- son were killed. Altogether twelve of our countrymen and women were slaughtered in this small station. The only per- sons known to have escaped are two Customs' officers, who have reached Agra." General Van Cortlandt, whose encounters with the Indian mutineers are mentioned iu our despatches from Trieste, is a distinguished German officer, formerly in the service of Run- jeet Sing. Sir Colin Campbell arrived at Aden on the 28th of July. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, FRANCE. The unusual fact of a press prosecution terminating in an acquittal has just occurred at Tarbes. The printer and respon- sible proprietor of the Interet Public were indicted for the publication of " false news." The journal had said that the Mayor of Bazet and the schoolmaster of Laloubere had been suspended by the prefect on account of their attitude during the elections. The news was substantially true, but there was a quibble as to whether the requisite formalities had beeu gone through at the moment when the paragraph appeared in the journal. The judges adopted the conclusion that, as the Go- vernment had desired to serve and save France by securing the defeat of the opposition candidates, it was not spreading false news to say that it had dismissed men who sought to defeat so great an object. This judgment looks as if the judges were quizzing the Government, but such is the judgment. Tibaldi, Bartolotti, and Grilli, since their condemnation, have been kept in the prison Mazas, and are placed, as before, in separate cells. They appear all greatly discouraged, and especially Tibaldi; and he alone has presented au appeal to the Court of Cassation. The formalities to be observed in the proceedings against Mazziui, Ledru Rollin, Campanella, and Massarenti will occupy about three weeks, so that their case cannot be brought before the Court of Assize until the first session of September. As in all charges against contumacious persons, the proceedings before the court will be very brief, and the decision will be given without the participation of a jury. It is said that Ledru Rollin intends to address a long letter, or rather a species of memoir, to the president of the Court of Assize; but no account can be officially taken of it. COBURG AND GOTHA. The project of a fusion of the two duchies of Coburg and Gotha under the same administration was rejected on the 3d by the Diet of Coburg unanimously, minus four votes. This fusion had been admitted in principle by the special Diet of Gotha, as well as by the common Diet of the two countries. Much cu- riosity is excited as to how this conflict will terminate. TURKEY. The Pays has received a letter from London, which states that, according to a wide- spread rumour, the question of the Principalities had entered into a new phase, and that, following the precedent of the affair of Bolgrad, the existing differences will be submitted to the decision of a congress. The same letter revives the report that Lord de Redcliffe is coming to England en conge. RUSSIA. Russia desires under any pretence to re- organise its Black Sea fleet. A letter from St Petersburg says:— It is well known that in a convention concluded between Russia aud Turkey, and annexed to the treaty of Paris, the former bound herself not to station more than twelve vessels of war in the Black Sea. The number of transports, however, was not limited, and it would be easy for Russia by arming them to evade the stipulations of the treaty. Not, however, wishing to act in such a manner, and the number of vessels of war fixed by the treaty being insufficient for effectually carrying on her operations on the coast of Cir- cassia, the Russian Government has applied to the Porte, through M de Boutenieff, to obtain a modification of the con- vention in question, subject to the consent of the powers who signed the Treaty of Paris, and who will be applied to as soon as au arrangement has been come to between Russia and the Porte.'. DEPARTURE OP THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS OP THE FRENCH.— Their imperial majesties the Emperor and Empress of the French left Osborne on Monday afternoon, and reached Havre at 12: 40 on Tuesday morning. MARRIAGE OP MR FREDERICK PEEL,— On Wednesday morn- ing the doors of the parish church of St George's, Hanover- square, were besieged by a number of ladies, anxious to witness the ceremony of marriage between the Right Hon Frederick Peel, second son of the late Sir Robert Peel, Bart, and Miss Shelley, daughter of John Shelley, Esq, of Ovington House, Winchester, Hants. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.— Mr Edward Highton, CIL., son of the late Mr Henry Highton, of Leicester, has just completed his patent for, firstly, sending telegraphic messages both ways through one and the same wire, at the same instant, without the messages interfering in any way with each other ; secondly, for preventing the destruction of a wire in the sea or under- ground ; and, thirdly, for mending a decayed telegraphic wire in the ocean without leaving the land. It is obvious that this last invention will be of enormous value to the Atlantic cable, DEATH OP THE RIGHT HON JOHN WILSON CROXER.— W^ regret to announce the demise of the Right Hon John Wilson Croker, who died at Sir Thomas Wightmau's villa, St Alban's Bank, Hampton, at ten o'clock on Monday night. The right hon gentleman had been in declining health for some months past, and had removed from Kensington Palace to Judge Wight- man's villa within the last week, to see if change of air and scene would have any beneficial effect on his health. The de- ceased was son of Mr John Croker, Surveyor- General of Ireland, and was born in December, 1780, in county Galway, Ireland. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he greatly distinguished himself, and in 1802 was called to the Irish bar. Mr Croker entered the House of Commons in 1807, for Down- patrick. He sat in eight successive Parliaments, having repre- sented the University of Dublin, Yarmouth, Athlone, aud Bod- min in the lower house of the Legislature. Mr Croker retired after the election of 1832, when he sat with the Marquis of Douro ( now Duke of Wellington) for the disfranchised borough of Alde- burgh, Suffolk. AN OFFICER OP THE HORSE GUARDS DROWNED AT WINDSOR — An inquest was held on Wednesday at the King's Arms, Windsor, on the body of Lieutenant Shafto, of the Royal Horse Guards, which regiment is at present quartered at Windsor. — Captain Billington, of the same regiment, deposed: I have known the deceased about five years; he held the rank of lieutenant iu the same regiment with myself. I have bathed several times with him at the Eton College Master's Weir, below Windsor Bridge. The stream here is rapid, and more or less dangerous. Deceased could swim, but was not a good swimmer. I went out with him at half- past eight o'clock this morning, with the intention of bathing. He plunged into the water first, and I followed almost immediately afterwards. We had not been in the water more than a minute when I saw deceased, who had swam out about ten or fifteen yards, throw up his arms; at first I thought he intended to turn himself upon his back and float, but immediately I saw his head go down. I swam to him as fast as I could, aud succeeded in catching hold of one of his hands, and called for help as loud as I could; suddenly he wrenched himself away from me, and sank immediately; he did not struggle at all.— Samuel Quelch, Eton, waterman, deposed to his doing everything in his power to save the deceased. Had heard Captain Biliiugton call out for help. Saw the deceased in the water after he had let go of Captain Billington, who was partly under the water. Captain Billiugtou afterwards swam on shore, and cried out, " For God's sake what can be done?" Had hold ofthe deceased with the " hiccher" once, but could not retain him; could have recovered the body if auother person had been with him. The body was found within two yards of where it sank, after it had been in the water about forty miuutes. This witness, in answer to several questions put to him by one of the jury, admitted that, although he could swim, he was incapable of diving; and Mr Wright recommended that for the luture two watermen should be in attendance at this dangerous part of the Thames during bathing hours, which recommendation was afterwards appended to the verdict returned of Accidental Death. The deceased, who was nephew of the member for Cambridge, was in his 28th year. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths registered ia the week ending August 8 were 1,224, beingll5 less than the average. The deaths from diarrhoea, which iu the previous week wore 302, fell last week to 258. Typhus carried off 48, scarlatina 32, and hoop- ing cough 38. The births were 736 boys and 753 girls. KILLING AND CURING PIGS BY STEAM.— In a work on the United States, Mr Oscar Commettant give3 an account of the application of steam machinery to a very singular purpose— the killing aud curing of pigs. He tells us that at Cincinnati an apparatus, driven by steam, is so arranged that, on a number of pigs being driven into a sort of funnel, they are taken one at a time, cut across the throat by knives, seized hold of by hooks, plunged into a hot well, passed through a brustiing cylinder, which scours the hair from them, severed below from tail to snout, disembowelled, cleft into joints, salted, and barreled, all in the course of a few minutes. Hundreds of pigs are taken daily, we are told, to this establishment to be treated in the above highly ingenious aud agreeable (?) manner,— Mechanics' Mag. IMPERIAL PABLIAKENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— The Royal Assent was given by commission to several bills. Other bills were forwarded a stage, and the houss adjourned. TUESDAY- JUDGES' CIRCUITS— The LORE CHANCEL- LOR, in reply to Lord Campbell, stated that the Government proposed next session to introduce a measure based upo*\ some of the recommendations of the commissioners appointed io in- quire into the expediency of adjusting the circuits and making other judicial arrangements.— Several bills were forwarded a stage, after which their lordships adjourned. THURSDAY.— After the despatch of some routine business the house adjourned, FRIDAY— THE DIVORCE BILL.— In the morning some discussion took place on the 25th clause of this bill, and after some time it was agreed that it should be allowed to remain as amended on Thursday, and the committee then adjourned until the evening, when the subject was resumed, aud the discussion occupied the remainder of the evening. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— THE OATHS BILL AND THE JEWS.- Lord J. RUESELL brought up the report of the select committee ap- pointed to consider the act of the 5th and 6th William If., c. 62, in regard to the oaths to be taken by members of the house. — The Clerk at the table read the report, which stated that a resolution was proposed in the committee, to the effect that the act applied to members of the House of Commons, but that the said resolution was negatived.— Lord J. RUSSELL then said that considering the late period of the session, it was not his inten- tion to prooeed with the Oaths Validity Bill; but he gave notice that early next session he wili call the attention of the house to the consideration of the oaths taken by members of Parliament. SUNDAY BANDS— MrHANBFRY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had received a memorial on the subject of the Sunday bands in the parks being encouraged by the Government while preaching was prohibited, and, if so, what answer her Majesty's Government were pre- pared to give to the prayer of that memorial ?— Sir G. GREY said that no direct sanction had been given by Government to the Sunday bauds. It was true, however, that they had not been interfered with, but the bands were entirely voluntary.— Sir B. HALL said the memorial had but little foundation in fact, for no complaint had ever been made of the people, who congregated in the parks iu very large numbers. With respect to the preaching, it was put a stop to as the only means of put- ting down the atheistical and other preaching, which was carried on to such an extent, that on one day, out of twenty- three preachers, no less than eleven wore preaching infidel doctrines. They could not make the park- keepers judges of what was or was not orthodox doctrine, and it was felt, there- fore, to be better to put dowu ail preaching in the parks. CLOTHING FOR THE INDIAN TROOPS.- In reply to a question from Mr Roebuck, Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the troops which were sent to India some weeks back were provided with cotton covers, or the materials for making them, for their helmets and foraging caps, and those which were sent more recently would receive them on their arrival. THE PUBLIC OFFICES— Mr HOPE then moved that an humble address be presented to har Majesty, praying her Majesty to appoint a royal commission to consider the site and plans of the proposed new public offices, and particularly the Foreign and War Offices, and to report on tho same.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion as un- necessary aud objectionable. The only effect of it would be to transfer the mauagement and responsibility trom the Govern- ment to a royal commission. He only proposed iu the present session to ask for a grant for the purchase of the land requisite for the public buildings, which could be erected as Parliament might sanction, and upon a plain, serviceable plan.— Lord J. RUSSELL thought the Government would do well to give up the idea of buiiding palaces, and devote its attention to the erection of plain, substantial edifices.— Sir B. HALL said that no steps in the matter would be taken without the sanction of Parliament. PROTESTANT CHAPEL IN PARIS.- In supply, on the vote of £ 10,500 for the purchase of a chapel at Paris for the use of the British residents and visitors in that city, Mr WISE called attention to the fact that the chapel had been purchased, and £ 2,000 advanced from civil contingencies ou account, of the said purchase, without the consent of Parliament, and moved thai the vote be rejected.— An animated discussion ensued, in the course of which Lord PALMERSTON defended the vote, on the ground of the great accommodation the chapel would give to the British residents, who had at present no sufficient accom- modation at the British Embassy.— On a division, the vote was rejected by a majority of 135 to 47.— The announcement of the numbers elicited loud cheers from both sides of the house. TUESDAY- PROBATES BILL.— The Probates and Letters of Administration Bill, as amended in the committee, was con- sidered.— A new clause, moved by Mr AYRTON, enacting that every person compensated under the act shall be liable to fill any public office under the Crown for which his previous services in any office abolished by the act may render him eligible, was agraed to, and added to the bill. TbE PRINCIPALITIES.— FRANCE AND ENGLAND.- Mr DISRAELI inquired whether there was any prospect of au amicable settlement of the existing differences between England and France on the subject of the Danubian Principalities, and whether there was any apprehension of an estrangement of feeling between the two Governments?— Lord PALMERSTON said tnere had been differences at Constantinople, not arising out of the question of union or disunion of the Principalities, but in regard to the regularity or irregularity of the elec- tions in Moldavia, which it had been thought were not in accordance with the law. This had been represented to the Ministers of the powers at Constantinople, and four of them— those of France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia- acting separately, and not with those of England and Austria, had called upon the Turkish Government to annul the elections, and cause the electoral lists to bo revised in order that the elections might be made over again. The Turkish Govern- ment had declined to comply with this request; misunderstand- ings had arisen, and the result was that the Ministers of France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia had taken down their flags, and interrupted relations with the Porte, or were about to do so. The recent visit of the Emperor of the French to Osborne, ac- companied by his Minister of Foreign Affairs, had afforded the English Government au opportunity to come to a full under- standing with that of France upon the subject, and they thought there was sufficient prima facie ground lor the misunderstand- ing to make it desirable, in the interest of the Porte, that the elections should be held over again. They had reason to believe that the Austrian Government took a similar view of the sub- ject, and that the Sultan would adopt the course they recom- mended— namely, to annul the elections, iu order that they might take place again. There was no ground whatever for any apprehension of a divergence between the English and French Governments that would interrupt the existing harmouy and good understanding. THE INDIAN MUTINY.— Sir DE LACY EVANS drew atten- tion to the military arrangements for meeting the contingency in the Bengal native army, taking a comprehensive view of the possible effects of the events iu India upon the interests ofthe country, foreign and domestic.— Lord PALMERSTON made a de- tailed reply to the suggestions of Sir De Lacy, to whose opinions, he said, he had listened with the respect and deference due to his high military character. He had, however, in his opinion, over- estimated the European difficulty that might be produced by the events in India. The nations of the world had seen with what au unanimous spirit and energy the British people had responded to the call which the Government made to them in a moment of national emergency. While some 30,000 troops had been sent to India, troops were being raised at home as i'ast as possible ; aud not only was the regular army being increased, but a portion of the militia was about to be embodied. Recent events in India were undoubtedly serious, but, as far as Europe and foreign countries were ooncerned, nothing had occurred to alter the conditions of peace. He assured Sir De Lacy and the house that while the Government were at present doing all they thought necessary to meet the difficulty, not going beyond the necessity, if events should take a turn different from what they expected they felt they had at hand the resource of calling Par- liament together and asking for additional means of national defence. The discussion, which assumed a discursive cha- racter, was continued by Colonel North, Mr Bentiuck, Sir H. Verney, Mr Newdegato, and Mr Williams.— Mr WHITESIDE re- viewed the causes of the Indian mutiny, and the conduct and policy of the Government of India, contending that the former had been the natural and inevitable consequence of the latter. There had been, he said, no foresight, no watchfulness, no judg- ment shown by the Government.— Mr V. SMITH entered his protest against the assertion, which he denied, that the Govern- ment were not aware of the gravity of the events in India, aud asked whether it was worthy of that gravity for a member to come down, as Mr Whiteside had done, with scraps of news- papers, and to found upon anonymous statements charges against the Government of India, the conduct and policy of which Mr Smith defended, commending the judgment and vigour displayed by Lord Canning.— Mr DISRAELI said he was surprised at the tone adopted by Mr Smith, who seemed to object to the criti- cisms upon the Indian Government because this was not made a party question. He did not think the answer given to Sir De Lacy Evans by Lord Palmerston satisfactory; he had underrated our position in India and overrated our position in Europe, and no mistake could be greaterthan to undervalue the national danger.— Colonel SYKES read extracts of a letter from Colonel Edwardes at PesbH/ wur, who stated that the mutinous soldiery had met with very little sympathy from the people in any part of the country, aud that the Hindoo sepoys were beginning to find that they were made tools of by the Mohansmedans. He showed the extreme danger attending the slightest interference with the laws of caste, owing to the jealous susceptibility of tke Hindoos upen this point.— After some further discussion the subject dropped, and the house went into Committee of Supply, when several votes were agreed to. WEDNESDAY- OBSCENE PUBLICATIONS.- The house having resolved itself into a committee upon the Sale of Ob- scene Books, & c, Prevention Bill, upon a proposal to exclude Scotland from its operation, Mr ROEBUCK condemned the mea- sure in strong terms, declaring that a more preposterous bill had never been seat down from the House of Lords, which, he added, was saying a great deal.— A debate ensued, iu which the principle and details of the bill were much discussed, and various amendments were suggested. It was at length agreed that the bill should be recommitted, and that the debate should until then be suspended. THE INDIAN MUTINY and the EAST INDIA COM- PANY.— The house went into Committee of Ways and Means. — The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after reminding the committee of the proposal he had made before the dissolution respecting the alteration of the duties upon tea and sugar, and of the effect of that alteration, observed that the proposal he was about to make was substantially tke same, namely, to continue the existing duties upon tea and sugar for two years from the 1st of April next. He referred to" returns of the amount of revenue yielded by those two articles, whence it appeared that the average annual revenue in the two last years was up- wards of £ 10,500,000. He likewise read returns of the comparative consumption of tea and sugar by different classes of society in England, Scotlaud, and Ireland respectively, which presented some curious results. Iu reply to an inquiry made by Sir H. Willoughby— premising that his proposal would not add anything to the ways and means of the current year, merely arresting the fall of duties— he proceeded to say that it had been the duty of the Government to communicate with the Court of Directors of the East India Company on the subject of their finances, and the latter, being informed that her Majesty's Go- vernment were ready to consider any representation they might desire to make as to a change in the law regarding their power of borrowing money, or any financial assistance they might wish to receive from tho Government, stated that they did not find themselves under the necessity of applying to the Government at present for any financial assistance ; that their present means were ample in the existing state of the Indian treasury. Her Majesty's Government therefore, as at present advised, did not feel called upon to submit to Parliament any proposition upon this subject. The ways and means placed at the disposal of the Executive Government he considered amply sufficient to meet the probable wants of the present financial year. If they should have reason to doubt the sufficiency of their means they would not be slow iu bringing their position before the house, relying upon the liberality and public spirit of Parlia- ment and the country. But there was no immediate necessity for doing so; all accruing demands, including the discharge of £ 2,000,000 of Exchequer Bonds and the redemption of the Sound Dues, had been paid out of the resources of the present vear. Notwithstanding that these large payments had been satis- fied out of the growing taxation of the year, it appeared to be adequate to all demands, and he did not anticipate at present any deficiency. With regard to the cost of the armament sent to India, as soon as the regiments were transferred to the ser- vice of the East India Company their expense was charged to the Indian revenue, and ceased to be a charge upon this coun- try. He concluded by moving certain resolutions.— After a dis- cussioa of some length, which comprehended a variety of topics, the resolutions were agreed te.— The PROBATES AND LET- TERS OF ADMINISTRATION BILL was read a third time and passed.— The JOINT- STOCK COMPANIES ACT AMEND- MENT BILL passed through committee. THURSDAY- DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES. — The House of Commons, at the early sitting, went again into committee upon the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill, re- suming the consideration of the important 25th clause, which J enacts that a wife may petition for a dissolution of her marriage | on the ground that her husband had been guilty of incestuous adultery, or bigamy, or adultery coupled with cruelty, or adul- tery coupled with desertion.— Lord J. MANNERS proposed to add another ground, " adultery committed in the conjugal resi- dence."— Tho ATTORNEY- GENERAL opposed this amendment, because it made, he said, a change in the existing law, which it was the policy of the bill to avoid.— In a discussion of consi- derable interest, the tone of which was occasionally warm, the amendment was supported by Mr Gladstone, Mr Drummoud, Mr Huge3sen, Mr Napier, and Mr Ayrton,— Mr HENLEY urged the inconsistency of the Attorney- General's objection with the fact that the clause itself contained two causes of divorce at the suit of the wife which were altogether new.— The LORD- ADVO- CATE gave apparently a reluctant opposition to the amendment, avowing his approval of the divorce law of Scotland, which re- cognised the principle that the rights of the two sexes ought to be equal.— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL reasserted that the bill embodied substantially the principle of the existing law, and said that to admit this new ground of divorce was beyond his limited function in taking charge of the bill.— After some further debate, Lord PALMERSTON, remarking that the proposal to mul- tiply the grounds of divorce caxie with an ill grace from those who maintained the indissolubility of marriage, and that the ameudment would give rise to opportunities and means of collu- sion between parties, consented nevertheless, on the part of the Government, to waive objection to it.— Lord J. RUSSELL said he was glad that the proposed amendmoiit was agreed to by the Government, the ground taken by the Attorney- General that the bill only carried into effect the existing law having failed. He noticed the tone of the discussion aiid the taunts thrown out in the course of it, which, he observed, gave to a con- sideration of the marriage law the complexi sn of a party debate.— The ATTORNEY- GENE SAL suggested that the terms of the amendment would permit a divorce upon a single act of adultery, and proposed to amend it by substituting " adultery by the husband with a mistress kept by him iu the same house with the wife."— Mr HENLEY objected that this would fritter down the amendment, and render it wholly inoperative.— The ATTOR- NEY GENERAL thereupon withdrew his proposition, and the amendment as originally moved was agreed to.— Another warm debate arose upon the term " bigamy," an offence which in the clause was disconnected from " adultery," but which was legally completed by the solemnisation ( or rather profanaiion) of the ceremony or marriage alone.— After several abortive attempts to amend the clause in this particular, the ATTORNEY- GENERAL, having made two unsuccessful attempts, proposed to add to the word " bigamy" the words " and adultery with the same person;" but to this amendment exceptions were taken, aud, four o'clock approaching, the chairman was ordered to report progress. In the evening the discussion was re- sumed, and the Attorney- General withdrew his amendment, or rather altered its terms, substituting the words " bigamy with adultery." The amendment as altered was agreed to.— — Mr DRUMMOND proposed to make cruelty alone a ground of the dissolution of marriage; but this proposal was resisted both by Sir G. GREY and Mr GLADSTONE, because it would introduce a new principle into the bill, and a new category of divorce.— The motion was negatived.— Mr BUTT moved to include among the grounds entitling a wife to petition for a divorce " adultery coupled with aggravated ill- treatment of such a nature as ought in the opinion of the court to entitle her to such divorce."— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL opposed this amendment, observing that, if adopted, such general and indefinite terms would render the antecedent parts of the clause, upon which so much time aud labour had been bestowed, useless, and even worse than useless. It should have been proposed at an earlier stage.— Upon a division the amendment was negatived by 137 to44.— Mr Cox moved that the chairman report progress, and Mr GLADSTONE seconded the motion.— Lord PALMERSTON said he congratulated the oppo- nents of the bill upon their ingenuity in having expended ten hours upon three lines of the clause. He should have resisted the motion for reporting progress if it were not out of considera- tion Jor the professional engagements of the Attorney- General, whose presence was required at an early hour in the House of Lords: out of consideration for him, and not for his opponents, he asst. ted to the motion.— Mr GLADSTONE complained that Lord Palmerston had emancipated himself from rules ordinarily incumbent upon members of that house in the observations he had made.— Lord PALMERSTON disclaimed any intended " dis- courtesy, observing that he meant to say " the wishes of his op- ponents."— The motion was agreed to.— Other business was then forwarded, and the house adjourned. FRIDAY.— INDIA AND THE MILITIA.— Lord ELLEN- BOROUGH called the attention of the house to the raising of the militia. The Secretary of State for War had a few evenings ago stated the intention of her Majesty's Government to apply the sum of £ 200,000 to raising and embodying the militia. He con- sidered that sum very inadequate to the occasion. He had not access to official documents, but he had taken great pains to investigate the facts, aad he came to the following conclusions respecting the military position of this empire:— 18 battalions had either been sent or placed under orders to proceed to India, five regiments destined originally for China had been diverted to a more pressing service, five regiments had been warned, and it was understood that two regiments would proceed from the Cape of Good Hope, and the 37th Regiment from Ceylon to India. Before the mutiny there were 22 battaliolis in that coun- try, and the total force which would be employed there on the arrival of reinforcements would be 52 battalions. This was larger than the infantry force which had been sent to the Crimea. At the time of the Crimean war we had only 11 bat- talions at home; but we had a militia force amounting to 66,000 men.— Some conversation ensued, but nothing important transpired. ___ ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CRIM CON.— At Croydon, on Tuesday, an action was tried, brought by a Mr Lyle against a Mr Herbert to recover damages for the seduction of the plaintiff's wife.— Mr E. James, Q. C., aud Mr Hawkins were for the plaintiff; and Sergeant Parry and Mr Prentice for the defendant.— Mr James, in opening the case to the jury, said that it was probably one of the last of the same description that would be brought before a court of justice, but at present the plaintiff had no other legal remedy for the wrong that he had sustained at the hands of the defendant.. The plain- tiff was a young man who was carrying on an extensive business as an upholsterer, iu Charlotte- street, Fitzroy- square, and the defendant, who, he was instructed, was a person of property, was considerably older than either the plaintiff or his wife, and he believed was nearly 50 years of age. The plaintiff met his wife, who was the daughter of an Indian officer, and probably in a condition of life somewhat above his own, at a bail ad Birming- ham, at which place she lived with her family, and they were married ou the 7 th of April, 1851. She was a ladj of con- siderable accomplishments and pleasing manners, aud there was no doubt that for some time after the marriage the plaintiff and his wife lived on the most affectionate terms, and that the wife evinced the utmost anxiety for the welfare of her husband, and rendered him great assistance in carrying on his business. In the latter end of the year 1856 tho plaintiff was anxious to obtain additional capital in order to extend his business, and he inserted an advertisement in The Times for a partner with capital. The defendant at this time was living at Croydon, and he replied to the advertisement, aud stated that he had some capital lying idle, and after some nego- tiation an arrangement was entered into that the defendant and the plaintiff should become partners, and the former was to ad- vance the necessary capital for carrying on the business, and was to receive a large amount of interest, for that capital. The defendant, after this, of course, went to the plaintiff's warehouse, and took au active part in the business; and there could be no doubt that he took advantage of the opportunity thus afforded him to seduce the affections of the plaintiff's wife, lu the month of January the defendant represented that it was very inconvenient for him to go backwards and forwards to Croydon, and he suggested that a bedroom should be provided for him at the plaintiff's residence, and the plaintiff, who of course had not the slightest suspicion of the honour of the defendant, readily consented to the suggestion, and from this time down to the discovery of his wife's infidelity the defendant continued to occupy the apartment that was provided for him. The evidence appeared to him to leave no doubt that this proceeding was part of the plan adopted by the defendant to seduce the wife of his partner, and that he very soon afterwards succeeded in doing so. In the month of May Mrs Lyle went to Birmingham on a vine to her relations, and a circumstance occurred in connection with this visit which excited a strong suspicion ia the mind of the plaintiff with regard to the fidelity of his wife, and which led to his taking the necessary steps to discover her guilt. On the 27th of May, while his wife was at Birmingham, a telegraphic message came to the warehouse of the plaintiff to the following effect:—" E. D. Herbert, Esq. Private— important— immediate. Meet me at the Euston station by the 1: 45 train. I could not come any sooner.— M. A. POWELL." The signature to this message was in the name of the sister ef Mrs Lyle, but it would be proved that it was sent by the plaintiffs wife, and there was no doubt that it was an appointment for the defendant to meet her at the railway station. She arrived in London by the train referred to, but she did not make her appearance at her hus- band's house until the following day, and he believed the jury would not entertain any doubt that she and the defendant had passed a guilty night together. The suspicion of the plaintiff having been thus aroused, he more narrowly watched the pro- ceedings of his wife and the defendant, and ou the ISch of June, the wife of the plaintiff and the defendant were discovered in bed together, and tho plaintiff at once turned his wife out of the house, aud commenced the present action. The evidence to support the action was of anything but a satisfactory kind, and it came out, among other things, that after the plaintiff had discovered his wife's infidelity he and several persons whom he had employed to assist him passed the greater part of the night together drinking and smoking, and that they then ad- journed to Mr Lyle's house, accompanied by a young woman, when they had pickled salmon, gin and water, & c. The prin- cipal witness was one William Taylor. He said he re- membered Mr Lyle making some communications to him upon the subject of the conduct of his wife on the morning of her departure for Birmingham. Witness had previously mentioned something to him upon the same subject, and arrangements were made to detect the parties. A room was first taken in Cumberland- street, at the back of Charlotte- street, but this was not found to answer, aud auother was afterwards taken next door by witness. He then bored a hole in the party wall, but this was of no use, and he fixed up an apparatus with an index attached to it that would indicate when any person got into the defendant's bed. He could tell by this ap- paratus whether one, two, three, or four persons got into bed [ a laugh]. He called the apparatus an indi- cator [ laughter]. On the night of the 18th of June he was watching with his ear to the hole, and the indicator acted [ alaugh]. The lever fell according to the weight [ laugh- ter], It first informed him that one person got into bed, and then that a second person had done so [ renewed laughter]. He immediately proceeded to the roof, and entered by the trap door, took the servant by the hand, opened the door of the de- fendant's bedroom, tore clown the curtains, and turned the bull's eye upon them [ aroar of laughter]. Mr Herbert and Mrs Lyle were in bed together. Mr Lyie was at this time making the best of his way to the place, and Mrs lyle rushed up stairs to her own room. On the following d- ay witness saw Mr Herbert in the plaintiff's house, and he said he was prepared to pay for his guilt, and it was a pity that there was such a fuss made about it.— Cross- examined : The " indicator" was an invention of his own. He had not taken out a patent for it. Since this discovery he had been living with Mr Lyle. He offered his services to detect the parties, and they were accepted. He might have had as much as £ 20 from Mr Lyle for the expense he had incurred. He might have told Mr Field, the detective officer, that he should " slip in" a good bill to Mr Lyle if he suc- ceeded. Would not swear whether he did or not. Field came to " pump him," and he told him what he liked. He had been out of work about a month when he undertook this job. His business was that of a cabinet maker. The apparatus consisted of a lever attached to a spring, and when any one was iu the bed it moved [ a laugh]. The defendant was not sleeping in his own bedroom at the time of the discovery, but in tlie bedroom that had been occupied by the plaintiff and his wife. Was not aware that it was at the instigation of the plaintiff that the defen- dant was placed in this room. Mr Lyle was watehing the indicator, while witness was looking through the hole [ a roar of laughter]. — Mr Sergeant Parry made a humorous speech for the defendant. He said that his learned friend, in the opening of the case, had alluded to the proceedings that were going on in the Legis- lature to abolish actions of this description, and all he could say was that if there was a doubt on the mind of any person as to the propriety of abolishing a practice which enabled a husband to make a traffic of tke honour of his wife, the disgusting facts that had been proved during the present inquiry would,, effec- tually remove that doubt, and show the necessity of doing away with such a course of proceeding, which was looked upon as a disgrace to our law, and a scandal and contempt to the adminis- tration of justice, by all foreign jurists. His learned friend had said that he should treat the case with ridicule, and he certainly should do so, for a more ridiculous and at the same time dis- gusting case he, and he believed he might say every one, includ- ing the learned judge, who had had great experience in these matters, had never heard of. Had any one ever beard such evidence as that given by the witness Taylor ? Was it possible for any one to hear him talk of his indicator, or rather his " crimconometer," without having his risible muscles excited to the utmost degree [ laughter, in which the learned judge could not help joining] ? He could not help saying that he was astonished that his learned friend, Mr James, who, he knew, enjoyed anything that was funny as well as any one in the world, could have opened the case in the solemn manner he did, when he was aware of the nature of the evidence by which the plaintiff's case was to be supported. The learned sergeant then proceeded to state that iu his opinion the action was oue of the most disgraceful that had ever been brought into a court of justice, and that, even if| the jury should believe the evidence of the witness Taylor, upon whom he said the case entirely rested, the lowest com of the realm would be ample compensation for the injury the plaintiff had sustained. It was proved that s9 e* rly as the month of May he received information that some- thing wrong was suspected to be going on between his wife and the defendant, and yet he allowed him to remain in his l ouse, sat at the samo table with him, and actually gave him every iacihty in his power to deb- iuch his wife, if he had not done so already. The jury, by the present state of the law. wers called upon to assess the damages that a husband was entitled to for the mental anguish he sustained by reason of the seduction of his wife; but " just fancy," said the learned counsel, " what an amount of mental anguish must be sustained bv a man who could sit for au hour and a half in a room adjoining the bedroom in which he supposed his wife to bo with' an adulterer, coolly drinking gin and water and watehing the indicator to ascertain the exact period when his dishonour was completed." The learned sergeant urged, in conclusion, that the evidence was by no means conclusive that the defendant was guilty of the charge imputed to him, but he said that if the jury should be of opinion that his guilt was established, the plaintiff had clearly brought it upon himself by his own misconduct, and that a farthing damages would be quite sufficient for the witness Taylor, who was evidently the prime mover in the affair, and the plaintiff, to divide if they could between them.— The Lord Chief Baron summed up very briefly, and after calling the attention of the jury to some of the points in the evidence, he observed upon the absence of the testimony of any relatives of the parties to show the terms upon which they lived, aud that none but strangers or servants were called to prove that they lived on terms of affection and happily together. He concluded by stating that if they believed the witnesses the plaintiff was by iaw entitled to a verdict, and the amount of damages was entirely for them to consider.— The jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— One Farthing. MILLER V DRAPER.— TOM OLIVER'S FURNITURE.— At Glou- cester, on Tuesday, the case of Miiler v Draper was tried. The plaintiffs in this action were the assigness of a bankrupt, known as " Tom Oliver," a trainer of horses, formerly living at Prest- bury, near Cheltenham. The actios was brought, to recover the value of " Tom Oliver's" goods and furniture, which had been seized in execution by the defendant, Wm. Draper, a tailor at Cheltenham, under a warrant of attorney, signed by the bank- rupt on the 20th of February. 1856. The defendant had given notice to the plaintiffs, under the 12th and 13tli of Victoria, cap 100, sec 234, of his intention to dispute the petitioning creditor's debt, trading, and act of bankruptcy.— Thomas Oliver stated that, up to the year 1856, he carried on business at Prestbury as a trainer of horses and livery stable keeper. The defendant Draper, who was a tailor at Cheltenham, had supplied him with clothes, and in February, 1856, he ( the defendant) applied to him for security f or a debt which was then due. The defendant complained that Oliver had given his mother a bill s. f sale on his furniture, and he required security for his debt, which he made out to amount to £ 210, though he ( Oliver) did not think it was so much. The defendant promised Oliver that, if he ( Oliver) would give him a judgment for what he owed, he ( the defendant) would pay ail Oliver's creditors 5s in the pound. The defendant several times urged Oliver to do this, and once called upon him with a person named Boodle, who was clerk to a Mr Pack wood, the defendant's attorney, ' lhsf'efendaut promised that the goods should remain, aud urged as a reason why Oliver should sign the warrant that Ridler, the manager of the bank, would ( Oliver's) attorney to explain the nature and effect of the instrument'. In a few days after this the defendant told Oliver there was no chance of his settling with his creditors, and in consequence of this Oliver left Prestbury and went to London, where no remained in lodgings for three cr four mouths. In the meantime—^ viz, on the 1st of April, execution was levied on the go ds, worth about £. 300 or £ 400, and the same were sold by the sheriff for £ 230. On cross- examination, it appeared that the defendant had told Oliver that he was determined to have his debt paid, and threatened that, if Oliver would not sign the warrant, he would send for a writ immediately, that very night. Oliver said he only wanted a little time, and he could borrow some money, and pay them all off, but he was not aware at the time that he owed £ 2,000, It appeared that in the month of June, by the advice of his attorney, Mr Packvvood, the bankrupt petitioned the In- solvent Court at Ipswicb, but though that court was said to be " an easy court" his petition was dismissed. On the 1st of August last he petitioned the Bristol Bankruptcy Court, ana was ad- judged bankrupt. The goods sold for £ 230~, and about that time Draper returned him the sum of £ 49 12s, having in the mean- time ascertained that Oliver's debt to him amounted only to £ 180 8s. Oliver handed over the £ 49 12s to his creditors.— On the re- examination of O iver, Mr Gray askod him if he h^ d not made a statement to the plaintiffs' attorney, and whether it had not been taken down in writing?— ar. dwasaboutto cross- examine him upon that statement. Mr Baron Martin interfered, and said that the 22d section of the Common Law Procedure Act, 1854, only allowed that course to be taken in case the witness shall iu the " opinion of the judge prove adverse," but it did not allow it in every case where a witness varied in his statement. His lordship, after conferring with Mr Baron Bramwtli, repeated his opinion that the " witness" must be adverse before he could be contradicted.— Several witnesses were called to show that the transfer of the property was effected with a view to protect the bankrupt. At the close of the case, Mr Sergeant Pigott objected that there was no evidence of the petitioning creditor's debt, and that the petition for adjudication ought to be pro- duced ; secondly, tlfat there was no evidence of a trading; and, thirdly, that there was no ju;; sliction in the Bristol court to adjudge the party a bankrupt, as he had not resided or carried on business in the Bristol district for six months before the petition.— Mr Baron Martin overruled the objections, but gave the defendant leave to move on the last point. His lordship said his opinion was that the transact, i< n amounted to an as- signment of the bankrupt's goods to pay the creditors five shil- lings in the pound, and was an act of bankruptcy.— The defen- dant was then called, and contradicted the evidence given by the plaintiff as to his taking the warrant of attorney for Oliver's protection ; and several other witnesses were examined to dis- prove the bankrupt's trading as a livery stable keeper,— Mr Baron Martin summed up the evidence, and left it to the jury to say. first, whether tho bankrupt was a trader; and, stcondlr, whether the warrant of attorney was executed to enable the defendant to get possession of the whole of the property, or merely to secure his own debt.— The jury found for the plaintiff for £ 181; but tke defendant had leave to move on the question of jurisdiction. THE KNIFE.— At Liverpool, on Tuesday, Samuel Jenkinson, aged 25, seaman, was indicted for having, on the 22d March last, while on board the British ship Halifax, at Constantinople, stabbed aud wounded John Brady, the mate of the ship.— The prosecutor, on being examined, stated that ou Sunday, the 22d March, the ship was lying in the Bosphorus, aud the captain, Mr David Connolly, went to dine on board another British ship, the Odessa, lying at some distance from them. The prisoner was one of a boat's crew who rowed the captain to the Odessa, on arriving at which ship they descended to the forecastle, where they remained with that ship's crew. When the captain wished to return to his own ship, the prosecutor called to their men to come up and get the boat ready. The prisoner did not come up, and when the mate called agaiu he answered in a very insolent manner, saying he would come when he liked. On getting to the deck the prosecutor gave him a push, when the prisoner made a rush at him, and bit him on his right cheek. Prosecutor put up his hand to push him away, when his fore- finger was bitten severely. After the prosecutor's wounds were dressed f he whole party returned to their own ship. On getting on board the Halifax prosecutor changed bis clothes, and going up to the prisoner told him he was an unmanly blackguard, and that if he v> anted to fight let him stand up before him like a man. The prisoner replied, " Oomeon, I'm ready for you." Prosecutor went towards him, when the prisoner made a blow at him and stabbed him in his side, below the right ribs, and in other parts of his bod;. Blood began to flow profusely, and prosecutor fell from exhaustion. He was afterwards removed to an hospital at Constantinople, where he remained five weeks and a half. He was suffering at the present time from the effects of the wound, and was unable to follow his employment as a seaman. The prisoner was immediately put in irons, and afterwards forwarded to this country.— Iu cross- examination, Mr Brett elicited that while the captains were enjoying themselves on board the Odessa, the prisoner and other seamen had been rowing the mates of the two ships to Constantinople in the course of the afternoon, and that they had all had some drink.— The captain and several seamen were called to prove these facts, and in all material points they corroborated the statements of the prose- cutor.— Thomas Robinson Richards, surgeon, stated that he examined the prosecutor on the 6th of the present month, and found the cicatrice of a serious wound in the abdomen, just below the ribs, and also the scars of several other slighter wounds. The injurns were of such a serkus nature that the prosecutor would suffer from their effects as long he lived. There were also the m^ rks of a bite on his clin k and hand.— The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and his lordship s . mtenced. him to ten years' penal servitude. HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST THE EASTEEN COUNTIES RAIL- WAY COMPANY.— At Croydon, on Wednesday, an action was tried, brought by a Mr Beckwith against the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to recover damages for an injury sustained by the plaintiff, upon the occasion of the explosion of the fog signals at Stratford, ou the 26th of February last. It appeared tbat the company had made an announcement of the intended sale of a quantity of stores, aud the plaintiff, who is a smith aud engineer, had gone to the station at Stratford, with his brother, to inspect them, and they happened to be near the factory at the time the explosion took place, and the consequence was that the plaintiff's brother was killed upon the spot, and he himself had his leg broken, and received other injuries, from which, it was stated by the surgeons who were examined, he was likely to suffer for the remainder of his life. The defence attempted to be set up by the company was tbat the plaintiff was a tres- passer, but it altogether failed, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— £ 750. RETURN OP MR BRIGHT FOR BIRMINGHAM,— Mr Bright has just been returned without opposition for the borough of Bir- mingham. in the place of Mr G. F. Muntz, deceased. HORSE RACING FRAUDS.— At Marlborougii- street, on Mon- day, a respectably dressed person applied to Mr Beadon to know how he could recover £ 2 he had wagered on a horse race, and £ 12 he had won from persons who assumed the character of betting agents. The applicant, produced a circular which he had received from these persons, who signed with their initials H. and C., in which he was advised that the Liverpool Cup, the Chester Cup, and other races, were to come off, and that they, as agents, were ready to lay out advantageously all sums sent to them before the races. The betting agents urtr<= d their corre- spondents to " lay out liberally," and to forward the cash without delay. Feeling disposed to back Bashi Bazouk for the Liverpool Cup, he sent two sovereigns to Howard aud Clinton ( the H. and C. of the circular), to the post office, Coventry- street, and in due time was informed that his money had been laid out at 6 to 1 in his favour. The race was won by Bashi Bazouk, and when he went for his money, he found that Howard and Clinton were not to be heard of at the post office in Coventry- street. He had caught sight of one of the parties, but he could not find an opportunity of speaking to him. He wanted to know what means he had of compelling the parties to pay him his money, £ 12 the winnings, and £ 2 the stake. Mr Beadon said the applicant could not recover a bet on a horse race in auy court. It was illegal to make such bets, and therefore he could not pro- ceed against persons who defrauded him, either civilly or crimi- nally. The best advice he could give the applicant was to let this loss be a warning to him not to part with his money to per- sons who were comparative strangers, and especially when the purposes were illegal. The applicant said the same parties had been complained against at Guildhall, but the charge was limited to the circulation of betting invitations. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— The Napoleon room in the above- named establishment has just undergone a com- plete renovation, and now presents to the eye a chamber of most gorgeous magnificence, abounding with relics of the groat Napoleon. The room ha3 also been greatly enlarged for the purpose of giving greater facility and comfort to the numerous visitors who dailv resort to this popular estab'ishment. SUMMER MEDICINES.— A notion that sometimes prevails amongst enfeebled invalids, and persons of delicate constitution, who suffer from the effects of a tropical climate, or the depressing languor occasioned by the close fnd heavy atmosphere of an English summer, is, that cod liver oil is an unfit remedy in such cases— or, in other words, is not a " summer medicine." This has, undoubtedly, been found to be true with reference to the pale or yellow variety, and the ordinary oils usually retailed, which, according to Dr Granville, Dr Radclyffe Hall, and other eminent physicians, too frequently cause nausea and indigestion, and do not agree with bilious patients. The effect produced by Dr de Jongh's light- brown cod live* oil, however, is entirely different, and its powerful reparative and restorative properties have beeu remarkably manifested by imparting strength and vigour in convalescence or natural feebleness, and iu cases of exhaustion and prostration produced by the influence of un- healthy climates or vicissitudes of temperature, or excessive lassitude and fatigue, where life even appeared at its lowest ebb. Its action, as described by Taufflieb, Brefeld, and Dr Carey, is " unlike that of the ordinary tonic •>. and it has, in consequence, been resorted to with the most wouderful effect, after the whole range of these has been in vain exhausted."— Dr de Jongh's oil is only sold in imperial half pints, 2s 6d; pints, 4s 9d; aud quarts, 9s, capsuled and labelled with his stamp and signature, without which none can possibly be genuine, by his sole British consignees, Ansar, Harford, and Co, 77, Strand, London; and in the country by many respectable chemists. Proposed substitu- tions of other kinds of cod liver oil should be strenuously re- sisted, as they proceed from interested motives, and will result in disappointment to the purchaser, 4 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 16, 1857.

[ Before the LOBD CHIEF BABON and a special jury. L LAMBERT V SIDEBOTTOM.— This was what is called an inter- pleader issue to try the validity of the bill of sale of the lease of a house and a large quantity of furniture, valued at £ 2,400, which had been executed by one James Adkins to the present plaintiff. Mr E. James, Q. C., Sergeant Baliantine, and Mr Hawkins were counsel for the defendant; Mr Bovill, Q. C., and Mr Need- ham appeared for the plantiff, The parties in this action are all well known in the sporting world, and it will be remembered that in June last the defendant brought an action against Jas. Adkins to recover£ 6,000, for money of which he represented he had been cheated at a gaming- house kept by that person, called the " Berkeley Club," by means of false dice being used at the game of hazard, and the defendant consented to a verdict passing against him for the sum claimed. Adkins at that time kept a large and expensive establishment at Brompton, called Wintersoll House, and in due course an execu- tion was put in under the judgment of the court, and the present plaintiff then set up a claim to the property under a bill of sale, and the object of the present action was to try the validity of that instrument. Mr BOYILL having briefly opened tbe case, Mr Geo. Lambert, the plaintiff, was examined: He stated that he was a batting man on the Turf, and was acquainted with Mr Adkins, and also with Mr Pad wick. He deposed that he pur- chased the lease of his house and t>. e furniture contained in it, at Brompton, and he did so by the advice ® f Mr Pad wick, who recommended him to make the purchase. He said that he paid £ 500 for the lease, and £ 800 for the furniture, and he took possession of the place, under the bill of sale, on the 22d of June. He gave a check for the amount upon his bankers. Cross- examined: Had known Adkins a great many years, and had had betting transactions with him. Was present at the trial at Westminster Hall, between the present defendant aud Mr Adkius, when the verdict passed against the ktter. Mr JAMES produced the false dice that were exhibited at that trial, and which Mr Sidebottom alleged to have been the instru- ments of his having been cheated to a very large amount. The witness said he believed they were the same dice, and he added that, after they had been produced on the former occasion, Sir F. Kelly, who was the counsel for Adkins, gave up his case, and consented to the verdict. On the same day the verdict was delivered be went down to Adkins's house, at Brompton, and took possession of the property under the bill of sale. Mr JAMES inquired where Adkins was now ? Tho witness said he believed that he was at Boulogne for the benefit of his health [ a laugh]. Mr Pad wick deposed that he was acquainted with the plain- tiff, aud also knew Adkins, and he remembered an application being made to him on behalf of the latter to advance a large sum of money upon the security of his house and furniture. He declined, however, to do so, and recommended that the appli- cation should be made to the plaintiff, as an investment for his money. Cross- examined : The application that was made to him was to advance the money upon the security of Adkins's house and furniture, but he would have nothing to do with such a trans- action. Evidence was then given of the check having been paid at the plaintiff's bankers, and the witnesses who took possession of the property were also examined. The LORD CHIEF BARON observed that there did not appear to be any dispute as to these facts, and the only question was, whether the transaction was a genuine one or not. Mr. JAMES made a most powerful speech on behalf of the de- fendant, and he said that although his learned friend had ex- pressed himself anxious to lay before the jury the whole of the circumstances connected with the proceedings under which the plaintiff claimed the property of Adkins, he had omitted to call several persons whose evidence would have been very important if the bill of sale had been a regular and honest transaction. He then called the attention of the jury to the facts as they ap- peared in evidence, am! submitted that there could be no reason- able doubt that tke bill of sale was a sham and a fraud, to pro- tect the property of Adkins, and to prevent the plaintiff, who had been robbed by means of false dice, and other artifices, of a very large sum of money, from obtaining any benefit from the verdict he had obtained against him. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up, said that the only question for the jury was, whether the bill of sale was a bona fide transaction, or whether it was a mere trick and device to defeat the claim of the plaintiff, and prevent him from getting his money under the judgment of the court. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the de- fendant, and his lordship certified that the case was a proper one to be tried by a special jury. STEEPLE CEASING IN BELGIUM.

WHOLESALE DOG STEALING.— We regret to learn that, a few nights back, the whole team of pointers and setters, the property of Capt W. B. N., a member of the committee of the Pugilistic Association, were stolen from a stable in which they were con- fined. Through the instrumentality of the venerable Bishop of Bond- street, the dogs have been traced to Boulogne, but whether Capt N, can obtain any assistance from the French police re- mains to be proved, as the Bishop's act does not extend to the Continent. THE YORK AUGUST MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF BSI. L'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : The York August meeting, which takes place on Wed- nesday, Thursday, aud Friday next, will be the last occasion, I am happy to state, on which the racing will be compressed into three days, the authorities having at length consented to adopt the suggestions which have been so properly thrown out in your columns for many seasons past that York should be put upon the same scale as Epsom, Ascot, Chester, Doucaster, and Good- wood. Next year, therefore, the racing at this meeting, which bears so materially upon Doncaster, will be got through with far more comfort and attention by the officials, and witnessed with infinitely more pleasure by the thousands of visitors who are attracted to Knavesmire by the excellent sport which is invariably shown there. Mr North's affiche for the forthcoming anniversary, in size almost resembling a newspaper, contains a series of twenty- nine stakes, to which the added money amounts to the sum of fourteen hundred pounds— a proof that the nobility and gentry of York are sensibly alive to the importance of pre- serving the status of their own meeting. But although the quan- tity of sport upon paper is very great, the Great Yorkshire Stakes is the chief event which will throw any positive light upon the so- called " matter of health St Leger ;" and if there is a diminution of interest in " the Ebor," the Two Year Old Stakes, which are likely to bring out some fresh Derby colts whose form it is desirable we should be better acquainted with, will make up for the deficiency to which I have alluded. Premising that the Rawcliffe sale commences on the Tuesday, there will be ample materials, between the " post and the paddock" for spending a few profitable hours within the limits of the race week. The state of the cards, however, warns me that the time for starting has arrived, and congratulating the York Committee upon the result of their " cabinet councils," I shall proceed to lay before your readers my views upon the races which consti- tute the programme. The Zetland Stakes most appropriately inaugurates the meet ing, but the handicap does not appear before the morning of the race. The first of the Great North of England biennials will this year be " run off" by three year olds; aud out of the fifty- five subscriptions, the starters will probably comprise Bird in the Hand, Church Langton, Sneeze, Strathnaver, Wardermarske, Augury, Saunterer, and Skirmisher. According to all public form, the race would seem to rest between the latter pair, and as Vedette appears to be the selected one of the stable for the Great Yorkshire, in all probability Skirmisher will carry " the spots" for this event; and as he beat his opponent in a canter at Ascot, though it must not be forgotten that Saunterer was by no means so fit as we have since seen him, I shall expect to see Skirmisher the winner. The Yorkshire Oaks has fifty nominations, amongst which I see nothing to beat Tasmania, although Rosa Bonheur may be handy at the finish. The Convivial Stakes has a noble entry of 84, including almost every promising two year old in the north. A large field may be expected at the post, but where there are so many " dark" youngsters, of whom we know nothing, I must stick to the public form, and I doubt if a better than Perfection, Star of the East, and Wilton, each of whom has a 21b penalty, will be found. The Chesterfield Handicap has twenty- two entries, and, ac- cording to my calculations, Tom Dawson and El Hakim look most formidable. The Burgundy and Bramham Park Stakes may not produce contests. In any case I shall award the former to Walmer and the latter to Moestissima. The Black Duck, reduced to a match between Lords Derby and Glasgow, will probably fall to the lot of the former by the aid of Streamer, Her Majesty's Plate and Selling Stakes, which are still open, will complete the first day's card. Thursday promises to afford as fine a day's racing as was ever witnessed in Yorkshire, the Two Year Old Stakes, of which there are uo fewer than five on the card, having the largest share of interest. The Filly Sapling is the first of this series, and the majority of the nine subscriptions are " dark," I fancy it will be difficult to find one to beat Perfection, who has no penalty, but, if the latter's colours are lowered, it will be by Syllabus.. The Great Ebor Handicap has not of late years been a suc- cessful race for bookmakers, from the circumstance of the win. ner taking the lead iu the betting and maintaining it to the finish. The runners, in all probability, will include Polestar, Pretty Boy, Warlock, Aleppo, Heir of Linne, Maid of Derwent, Viscount, Merlin, Underhand, Mongrel, Tasmania, Borderer, Mons. Dobler, El Hakim, Relapse, Queen Bess, Canary, Six and Eightpence, and Hobgoblin. Of these Polestar may run respect- ably, but we had proof at Lewes that she cannot give the weight to a good three year old. Tretty Boy gave Borderer 2st 51b at Nottingham, and was not beaten half a length; the old one now runs upon 4lb better terms, and they ought, conse- quently, to be close together; but I must give The Borderer the benefit of any doubt as to the superiority of the pair, and shall expect to see him " bordering" on the winner. Warlock, the winner last year, has run so badly this season that even with the reduced weight he has now to carry I cannot fancy him; nor do I think Aleppo good enough. Heir of Linne has not been out this year, which is too unfavourable a sign for me to pass over. Maid of Derwent appears to have lost the form she exhibited at the close of last season. Viscount and Merlin are certainly not crushed with weight. Underhand has to give Mongrel a pound more than at Newcastle, when he was three or four lengths before him ; and as the former received 9lb from Skirmisher, which would be putting the latter in at 7st 41b now, I fear it will be out of Fohert's power to get through with him again, although Underhand may obtain " a situation." Mongrel's performance at Liverpool justified the favouritism which has been extended to him for this race; and on paper I see nothing to beat him; but from what has taken place in the market within the last few hours, Mongrel's chance of winning the Great Ebor appears to be a remote one. Tasmania is a splendid mare, with a fine turn of speed, and may run well if fancied on the day. Monsieur Dobler's defeat of Lima at Shrews- bury, at the back end of last year, was not such a " fluke" as it appeared to be at the time; and as MrDrinkald, when in earnesS is always " there or thereabouts," I must keep " the conjuror" on my side. El Hakim has run so badly since Newcastle that Mongrel must have him quite safe. Of the remainder, Hobgoblin is alone entitled to consideration; and though liable to a penalty of 9lb for his brace of victories at Lewes and Read- ing, which makes his weight 5st 21b only, he ought to run re- spectably. In conclusion, I believe that Borderer or Monsieur Dobler will be the winner. The Prince of Wales Stakes has thirty- three nominations, and an interesting encounter may be looked forward to between Longrange and Vandyke ; but I shall expect to see the northern champion victorious. The Rawcliffe Produce Stakes, which is brought forward from Friday, has a score of entries ; and Vandyke may repeat his brother's victory of last year ; but, in his absence, or failing in the attempt, Sunbeam may gladden the hearts of her backers. To the Second Great North of England Biennial, fifty two year olds are named, but as many of them are engaged in other stakes, and the result must in a great measure be governed by previous running, I shall merely observe that Blanche of Mid- dlebie and Ditto may be found not undeserving the attention of your readers. The Hopeful Stakes has ten nominations, of which I give the preference to Sir Colin. The Ebor St Leger appears, from public running, at the mercy of V6dette, who is said to have got over the infirmity under which he laboured iu the spring. The Eglinton Stakes for two's and three's has the young ones in a decided majority; but I shall, nevertheless, give my prefer- ence to the old ones, and expect to see Sir Colin accomplish a double victory. In the Juvenile Stakes Lord Derby's Target, I think, will exhibit the " highest score." Friday's list is hardly so strong as last year, when, it will be remembered, Lord Derby's splendid gift was a leading attrac- tion. It contains, nevertheless, eight items, including the Great Yorkshire, and Gimcrack Stakes. The Knavesmire looks likely to be walked over for by Drumour. The Aske Produce ought to be won by Shepherdess, and the Colt Sapling by Sedbury, The Great Yorkshire Stakes, which invariably affords a true line to the St Leger, will be, par excellence, the race of the meeting, absorbing in public estimation every other item in the list. The field will probably include Commotion, Adamas Zuyder Zee, one of Lard Glasgow's, Strathnaver, Oakball, Augury, Saunterer, and Vedette. The latter has been made the favourite, and although his Two Thousand form is not that which can recommend itself for this race, still the fact of Skirmisher being left in the stable is sufficient to convert me to the belief that he is equal to this emer* gency. Saunterer has great public qualifications, but with- out referring more fully thereto here, and doubting that the public running of the remainder gives them little chance of success, I must express my conviction that the race will become a match between the two Yorkshire horses, result- ing in the triumph of the" spots." The Gimcrack, the only race left to discuss, has thirty two year olds engaged, of which Lord of Lorn and Longrange are the most formidable; but calculating on the absence of the latter, I shall anticipate another victory for The Lord. Sillica may be the recipient of the second money. The Members' Plate, the Consolation Scramble, and the Tyro Stakes, yet to be entered for, will complete this splendid and unparalleled Yorkshire programme.— Yours, & c, _ OBSERVER NOMENCLATURE.

LEWES RACES. Stewards: R. Etwall, Esq, and J. Douglas, Esq. Lessee, Clerk of the Course, and Handicapper: Mr J. F. Verrall. Judge and Clerk of the Scales: Mr Manning. Starter: Mr E. Hibburd. At one period this meeting used to be the favourite resort of Royalty, and " it was near that spot," observed a veteran sportsman to us, pointing to a piece of furze close to the two mile starting- post, on the hill directly opposite that upon which the Stand is erected, " that George the Fourth, when Prince of Wales, took up his position, after driving over from Brighton, to see Pavilion and Sancho run their celebrated match, upon which Colonel Mellish ( who declared baforehand he ' should be a man or a mouse that day') stood to win £ 60,000 on Sancho! The latter broke down, and made a ' mouse' of his owner for the time, but before the next morning he was a ' man again,' and the winner of exactly double that sum at faro!" Those were wha^ may with truth be termed the " good old times," when the noblemen and gentlemen of the county had their houses full of company, aud lent their encouragement te the races in every possible way. But a change has come o'er the spirit of the scene since then, and the proprietors of seats in the neighbour- hood like Lord Chichester, Lord Gage, Sir John Shelley, Sir G. Shiffner, Mr Brand and others, evince uo disposition to emu- late the hospitable liberality of otker noblemen and gentlemen in the Western division of the county. It is owing mainly to this lukewarmness of those who ought to be foremost iu their support of the national pastime of this country that caused the decline of Lewes races to such a low ebb, and even Mr Top- ham, with all his experience and skill, after attempting to revive their fallen glories, resigned the task after two years' trial. It remains to be seen therefore how the new lessee Mr Verrall will overcome the difficulties which have proved fatal to others. Judging from the success which has attended his maiden effort, he need not fear for the result of his speculation, so long as his programme continues to present equal attractions, and the amount of added money to the diffe- rent stakes is of the same liberal character as that which dis- tinguished his bill of fare 011 this occasion. With a race course in every respect superior to Brighton, we have always main- tained that the Lewes meeting ought to enjoy as high a posi- tion as its more fashionable neighbour ; and as our suggestion has been acted upon by the Reading authorities to hold their meeting on tha two days succeeding Lewes instead of clashing with it as heretofore, there is no reason why it should not attain that distinction. Of course everything will depend upon the lessee himself, who, having the game in his own hands, will study his own interest by continuing to select popular and efficient stewards, who " stand no nonsense," and in avoiding all influence whatever in the formation of his handicaps. It would be as well, likewise, if he were to do away with selling races hereafter— they were the bate noirs of this otherwise successful gathering. The meeting was favoured by most delightful weather, which added to a very attractive card, drew together a large concourse of spectators on the first day, including many of the leading patrons of the Turf— remanets at Brighton— and a goodly muster of professionals, nearly all the Metropolitans, as a matter of course, extending their patronage to the Sussex and Berkshire meetings in preference to the Midland gathering at Wolver- hampton. whose interests can scarcely be said to clash with Lewes. Extra accommodation was provided for the occupants of the inclosure by the erection of a couple of step galleries, and a " quiet" corner was reserved for the Press, in fact nothing further is required but a larger weighing room, as the present one is far too inconvenient for business purposes. The sports commenced with the Trial Stakes, which, reduced to a match between Strawberry and New Brighton, owing to Maid of Athens and Fashion bolting at the last turn, was carried off by the favourite. Sealark was a " pot" for tbe Inn- keepers' Plate, the next event on the card, but it was upset by Indulgence, upon whom Fordham scored a second victory, and was within an ace of throwing in a third main on Tinwald in the Castle Stakes, for which he was defeated by a head by West End, who changed owners for 60 guineas. The Lewes Grand Free Handicap, for which nine starters were announced, next occupied the attention of the Ring, and, in the absence of Hartley Buck, Slattern, for whom George Fordham was tele- graphed, opened the favourite at 5 to 2. In a few minutes, how- ever, the changes were rung, the two brothers re- weighed, the younger one for Slattern, and the " genuine" Fordham for Goblin, who forthwith became a great " pot," whilst those who had previously backed the mare solely upon the strength of her jockey, found themselves in the hole without a chance of saving a penny of their investments ; for so great a certainty was Gob- lin's success estimated by his stable after the latter's trial with Hartley Buck on the previous Saturday, that all the money was instantly snapped up. The affair was very freely commented upon, and never did we witness more genuine enthusiasm at the defeat of a favourite than when the Lewes horse was beaten by Hobgoblin, who has proved a cheap purchase to his new owners at £ 100, the price for which he was sold out of the Danebury stable immediately after Goodwood. On the return of Fordham to weigh, he was questioned by Mr Etwall, one of the Stewards, respecting his orders beforehand, and to account for his weigh- ing first for one horse and afterwards for a different one. The jockey replied that it was by the desire of Drewitt, his first master, whereupon Mr Manniugton, the owner of Goblin, and Drewitt, the trainer, were called upon for an ex- planation, when it appeared, from Mr M.' s statement, that he had not had an opportunity of seeing Drewitt until after Fordham had weighed in the first instance, and as the latter had been staying with him all the previous week at Brighton, and wasting hard to ride Goblin, he prevailed upon the trainer to give him up at the last moment. The explanation, however, was pronounced " anything but satisfactory" by the Steward, who further remarked that it was " a most irregular transac- tion, and although Fordham had beeu placed in a very unplea- sant position, he acquitted him of any connexion with it." The Southdown Club Plate, for which the gentlemen performed., in a second victory for Indulgence, after a pretty race with Mysterious Jack; and on paper similar honours appeared to await West End in the Landport Stakes, seeing that she met Tinwald on precisely the same terms as when she beat him in the Castle Stakes, on the strength of which several gentlemen laid odds on West End, but the market soon made them acquainted of the hopelessness of their chance, and West End this time was compelled to play second fiddle to the horse she defeated so easily an hour or two previously ! The Two Year Old Stakes, with which the first day's racing terminated, brought out half a dozen runners, and a great " pot" on Royal Sovereign was upset by Pinsticker, an outsider from the Danebury stable, who proved ., jecond " hob- goblin" to the " home stable," and did the fielders the best turn they met with during the day. The continued bril- liancy of the weather, added to the interest with which the second appearance of the American mare Prioress, ridden by an English jockey for the Cup, was regarded drew a iarger attendance on Tuesday than has been seen on the Cup day for many years. Snven items were on the card, the first of which, wherein the gentlemen again sported silk, was carried off by that most uncertain of all jades, Paula Monti, the only one of the quartette without a solitary supporter. The Cup— a magnificent piece of plate, value £ 200, from the estabish- ment of Mr Hancock, of Bruton- street— brought out five runners, viz, Polestar, Tournament, Prioress, Chevalier d'lndustrie, and Alice, the appearance of whose legs sufficiently accounted for the latter's absence from public life during the last two years. For a moment or two when the betting commenced the American mare was the favourite, but she soon gave way to Tournament, who, to keep him quiet, was saddled by himself under the hill, and, after cantering past the Stand, conducted to the post by a different route. The " crack" was far less fractious than at Epsom and Ascot, and ridiculed the notion of his inability to " stay" by the consummate ease with which he won after a strong run race, thereupon advancing to half the price that had been previously laid against him for the Leger, This is the second handsome trophy thut Mr Douglas has won within a fort- night with Tournament, and being a liberal supporter of all the Sussex meetings his success appeared to afford universal satisfac- tion. Prioress, who was supported by her plucky owner with con- siderable spirit, cut up badly, aud her forward position in the Goodwood Cup can oniy be attributed to the wretched pace at which that race was run. A Selling Stakes, with a couple of entries only, having fallen to the ground, the next event was the Nursery, which brought out the largest field of the meeting. The ease with which Lord Portsmouth's mare won the Two Year Old Stakes on the first day, though subjecting her to a 5lb penalty, made Pinsticker a rattling favourite, and odds were at first betted on her, but as she walked lame when led into the inclo- sure, added to the spirit with which Accurate was backed, the field left off with the call. The race, however, was scarcely ever in doubt, and Pinsticker won as easily as on the first day. The proceedings connected with the Handicap Plate, whichfol- lowed, cannot be passed over in silence, aud when Admiral Rous read the Riot Act to Little Robin's owner, and threatened to Eut lOst on any of his horses that he might have to handicap ereafter, the " lecture" was most warmly applauded by the by- standers. Polestar, apparently none the worse for her previous journey, made a poor example of Martinet, Mysterious Jack and others, in the Quean's Plate, thereby causing a further improve- ment in Tournament's Leger price; and the meeting termi- nated with an impromptu Handicap, the betting upon which, from its peculiarly " square" character, caused a spirited wind up to the proceedings, which, but for the unfortunate occur- rences we have felt bound to notice, would have passed off with considerable eclat. Before proceeding with the details of the racing we should state that 011 both days there was an unmis- takeable disposition to bet against the two favourites for the Leger, 7 to 4 being offered against the mare, aud 1,050 to 300 and several bets of 7 to 2 laid agaiust Ignoramus. 9 to 1 was taken about Tournament at the close, and 1,250 to 50 about Strath naver; the Sussex horse was backed for a large amount at 20 to 1 and 18 to 1 before his race. 1,000 to 35 was taken two or three times about Eclipse, a new Derby favourite in Mr Howard's stable, upon whom a considerable amount was invested during the Goodwood meeting. At Brighton, 10,000 to 160 was laid against V6dette winning the Great Yorkshire Stakes and Anton the St Leger. MONDAY, AUG 10.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for three year olds and upwards; winners after publi- cation of the weights 5lb extra; one mile; 6 subs.

Woodhouse 3 Mr T. Hughes's Fashion, 4 yrs, 7st 41b D. Hughes 4 Betting: 7 to 4 on Strawberry. Maid of Athens took the lead from Fashion after the first hundred yards but ran out at the turn, and took Fashion with her ; Strawberry then showed in advance followed by New Brighton to the top of the hill when the other two rejoined their horses, and the light weight went on second. Inside the distance, she was passed by New Brighton, who challenged Strawberry below the Stand, but failed to reach her, and was beaten by two lengths; a neck be- tween second and third. Fashion beaten off. The INNKEEPERS' PLATE ( Handicap) of 40 sovs, for two year olds and upwards; half a mile. Lord Clifden's Indulgence, by Surplicf, 4 yrs, 6st 121b G.

The three placed had the race to themselves throughout. Indulgence made play to the distance where Sea Lark headed him, but died away at the hill, and left Indulgence with a clear lead, which he maintained to the end, winning, after a good race, by a length; Miss Waters, who swerved across the course in the last fifty yards, beating the favourite by the same. John Peel was a fead fourth, and Polish next; the others beaten off. The CASTLE STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added; T. Y. C.; 5 subs. Mr H. P.

They laid together to the Stand, where Tinwald and West End came out and ran a good race home, the mare, who had always a trifle the best of it, winning by a head; Naughty Boy finished three lengths off, a neck in advance of the two year old. West Eud was sold to Mr S. Cox for 60 guineas, and Ibex was claimed by Major Bringhurst; the latter goes into Pattison's stable. The LEWES GRAND FREE HANDICAP of 15 sovs eac>, with 200 added; winners of any handicap value 200 sovs after July 30th 71b, of two such or of any handicap value 500 sovs 10lb extra ; the second to save his stake, and the winner to pay 25 sovs towards expenses; two miles; 19 subs, Mr Ivey's b c Hobgoblin, by Alarm, 3 yrs, Gst 21b Bray 1 Mr Mannington's br e Goblin, 3 yrs, 6st 61b ....

Fordham 0 The betting opened at 5 to 2 agst Slattern, but after the change of jockeys, referred to above, it closed at 7 to 4 agst Goblin, 3 to 1 agst Hobgoblin, and 8 to 1 agst any other. Slattern took a clear lead immediately after starting, followed by Hobgoblin, Comquot and Romeo side by side, Goblin lying next, separating the first from the second division, in the rear of which was Avenger, who was soon tailed off a long way. After passing the mile post Goblin went up and ran head aad head with Romeo, but dropped off again in descending the hill, and with this ex- ception there was no change worth noticing until reaching the turn, where Slattern ran out, and had nothing more to do with the race. Hobgoblin then took the lead, and on the retirement of Comquot, after entering the straight, Romeo and Goblin be- came the immediate followers of Hobgoblin, almost to the distance, when the favourite passed Romeo, but failed to reach Hobgsblin, who won easily by two lengths, Romeo finishing a very bad third. The others were stopped some distance from home, the next lot past the post being Slattern, Comauot, and Ruth. The SOUTHDOWN CLUB PLATE of 30 SDVS, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each; one mile and a half; 9 subs. Lord Clifden's Indulgence, 4 yrs, lOst lib......

Turk made play with a clear lead, followed by Mysterious Jack and Malakoff, Worcester lying fourth, and Walnut last. They ran thus for about half a mile, when Indulgence passed Worcester, and creeping up gradually on the inside, came round the turn head aud head with Mys- terious Jack, to which pair the race was now left, owing to Turk having followed the example of one or two others in the previous races, by bolting. After entering the straight the favourite took a slight lead, which he held until passing the distance, where Indulgence deprived him of it, ana won a pretty race by half a length; wide intervals between the others. The LANDPORT STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 25 added ; one mile; 4 subs, Mr J. S. Douglas's br g Tinwald, by Turnus, „ 2 6st nb ( 30 sovs) Fordham 1 Mr S. Cox's b f West End, 3 yrs, 6st 71b ( 30) T.

West End ( upon whom several bets of 5 to 4 were laid at first) took a commanding lead, which she held into the straight, where the favourite went up, headed her without an effort, and won in a canter by two lengths; a length and a half between second and third; Little Robin tailed off. The winner was sold for 60 guineas, and goes into Reeves's stable.

Fordham 0 Betting : 5 to 4 on Royal Sovereign, 5 to 1 agst Farmer's Son, and 100 to 15 each agst Pinsticker and Apollo. Apollo made play followed by Pinsticker and Farmer's Sou into the dip, where Royal Sovereiga, who had been lying fourth, took a slight lead, but was deprived of it half- way in the distance by Piusticker, and these two coming out by themselves finished the race, which resulted in the defeat of the favourite by a neck. Apollo was beaten four lengths, Farmer's Son ( fourth), being a length or two from him, and Windward, who was never in the race, tailed off. TUESDAY.— A HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, for gentlemen riders, as qualified to ride iu the Cheshire Welter Cup; one mile; 5 subs.

Maid of Athens cut out the work at her best pace, followed by Paula Monti, Ruth lying third, and Border Chief, who got badly off, a long way in the rear. The light weight maintained the lead until within a quarter of a mile of home, when she resigned it to Paula Monti, who woniu a canter by two lengths, Ruth, who was overpaced at the commencement, beating the Maid by a length and a half. The SUSSEX COUNTY CUP, value 200 sovs ( the surplus in specie) » by subscription of 10 sovs each with 50 added; two miles; 16 subs. J Mr J. S.

Tournament, 5 to 2 agsfc Prioress, 3 to 1 agst Polestar, 10 to 1 agst Chevalier d'lndustrie, and 100 to 2 agst Alice. The Chevalier made play, fol- lowed by Tournament and Alice for three quarters of a mile, when Polestar went to the front, and taking a slight lead of the Chevalier went on with the running at a strong pace, Tournament going on third, at an interval of four or five lengths, asi Alice fourth to the mile post, after passing which, Prioress who had been lying off, gave Alice the go- by, and lay within a length or two of the favourite, whose jockey never attempted to improve his position until entering the straight, when he gradually crept up, and in the dip below the distance took his place between the two leaders. The Chevalier gave way in a few strides, aud in rising the hill Tournament headed Polestar, upon whom all Flatmau's efforts were unavail- ing— the favourite winniug easily by three quarters of a length. The Chevalier was beaten three lengths Irom the old mare, Prioress, who was in difficulties a long way from home, four lengths from her, and Alice a considerable distance. The LEWES NURSERY HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, with 50 added, for two year olds; the winner to pay 10 sovs towards ex- penses; winners after Aug 6 5ib extra; T. Y.

After one failure Sister to Panpipe jumped off with the lead, closely attended by Schoolfellow, and followed by the Subterfuge colt and Pinsticker; Heba lying lasf. There was no change until rising the hill, when Sister to Panpipe, Schoolfellow, and the Subterfuge colt dropped off, and the favourite was joined by Keystone on the right and Accurate on the left. These three ran nearly head and head to the Stand, when Keystone was beaten, and Pinsticker increasing her lead as she went on won by a length and a half, Woodmite, who came with a rush at the last, finishing a length behind Accurate. Sister to Panpipe was a bad fourth, Schoolfellow fifth, the Subterfuge colt next, and Keystone, who was stopped at the Stand, last.

Stewards : The Marquis of Downshire, Hon Admiral Rous, Sir Charles Ibbetson, and J. S. Drinkald, Esq. Clerk of the Course : Mr Hibburd. Judge and Clerk of the Scales : Mr Clark. Starter: Mr Edward Hibburd. The increasing popularity of this well- conducted meeting is attested by the strength of the fields, the quality of the com- petitors, and the enormous crowds which each day thronged the course. Nor was the company confined entirely to pleasure folk and the lower orders. The pro fessionals mus- tered more numerously than ever, and that portion of the Stand appropriated to the stewards and their friends was filled by a jarge number of racing fashionables, amongst whom we noticed the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Portsmouth, the Earl of Lincoln, Lord Robert Clinton, Lord Curzon, the Hon Admiral B, ous, the Hon L. A. Ellis, Sir Lydstone Newman, Sir W. Cod- rington, Sir Frederick Pottinger, Major Wortley, Captain Little, Captain Jauncey, Mr Greville, Mr Payne, Mr Etwall, Mr Drinkald, Mr Courtenay, Mr J. H. C. Wyndham, Mr Oliver, Mr A. Peyton, Mr R. W. Martyn, Mr Bacon, & c. The over- crowded state of the Stand and enclosure has im- pressed upon the managers of the meeting the necessity of in- creasing the accommodation next year— could not the Crown be prevailed upon to grant permission to erect a stationary edifice ? — and the weighing apartment will be considerably enlarged, so as to meet the growing requirements of the place. Several alterations have been effected since last year, including the erection of a new telegraph, upon the same plan, though reduced scale, as the Ascot one, which was found to be a great improve- ment upon theold affair, and enabled theimmense field that went to the post for the Stand Plite— quite a Goodwood race— to be telegraphed without having recourse to chalk, or other illegible means of signalling the starters. The meeting was favoured with magnificent weather, which served as an additional inducement to the Londoners to take advantage of the cheap trains provided by each of the three rival companies which now divide the traffic between the metropolis and Reading. Both theSouthEastem and Northwestern routes were extensively patronised, but the Great Western of course carried off the " lion's share," and each day a tremendous train conveyed upwards of a thousand passengers to the King's Meadow on the banks of the Thames, where the race course is formed. The influx was so unexpectedly large that the staall body of police on duty caused the racing ground to be very badly kept, especially below the distance, where the foot people crowded into the course in such a shameful manner that ic is a miracle 110 accidents occurred. The fund, we hope, will permit of the employment of a detachment of the A division hereafter. Mr Hibburd, who exhibits sad traces of the ravages caused by his late serious illness, re- appeared here in his capacity of clerk of the course, but did not attempt to resume the starting pole, which Mr Edward Hibburd has held with so much satisfaction during his brother's long retirement. The officials kad a real busy time of it throughout the meeting, and are entitled to no little credit for tbe punctuality with which every thing was conducted. Each day's card embraced six races, the opening event on Wednesday being the Easthanspsteacl Park States, which was carried off by The Flying Englishman, upon whom ths gentlemen wen their money ; but they dropped it agaia upon Wrestler for the Nursery Plate, wherein Taller Gal, as at Goodwood, proved the fielders' friend, Eleven started for the Handicap, and the old opponents, Hobgoblin and Hartley Buck, engrossed nearly all the favour in the Ring, the young one, however, who met his Brighton conqueror upon lib better terms, having most supporters. The pair ran together in front until the Buck, when looking all over the winner, broke down — in earnest this time— below the distance, at which point Charlton brought up Odd Trick, and made rather an exciting race with Hobgoblin, but having been disappointed just previously tho former failed quite to reach him, and Hobgoblin pulled through by a neck. If the Odd Trick had won the game, he would have done the fielders good service, as he was not backed for a shil- j ling, and his position at the finish, which suprised no one more than his owner, we can only attribute to the badness of the pace for the first mile and a half. Another field of eleven went to tha post for the Ladies' Plate, wherein a " pot" was landed on the Baroness filly, for whom the bidding at the hammer after- wards was so spirited that 165 guineas was realised for the fund. Mr Merry's colours were again successful in the Abbey Stakes, which brought out a pretty good field of two year olds, and the close character of the previous contests was fully main- tained by a most exciting set- to between The Lord of Lorn and Ancient Briton, in which the 8lb almost ena- bled the latter to floor the odds of 7 to 4 that were betted on " the crack," who won rather cleverly at last. In the Borough Plate, with which the first day's sport terminated, Dales had his revenge upon Aldcroft, and getting well off with Jack Sheppard, who was very " bumptious" beforehand, upset the ' pot" with which Oltenitza was entrusted, whereby the fielders' balances were considerably reduced. On the second day, their star was in the ascendant, and every favourite but one was defeated. The sport was as remarkable as that on the first day for the closeness with which most of the races were contested, and the excellence of the fields, no fewer than seven- and- twenty out of the forty- seven handicapped going to the post for the Stand Plate— the " Stewards' Cup" of Berk- shire ! The racing was renewed with tha Caversham Handi- cap which produced a rattling set- to between five or six, resulting in the unexpected victory of Rotterdam, upon whom little Custance distinguished himself as a light weight of extra- ordinary promise. Polly Peachutn, though exhibiting traces ef her previous exertions this season, was a " hot- un" for the Reading Stakes, but the 6lb extra told at the finish, and her colours were lowered by a " dark" filly of Lord Clifden's, a sister to the Bishop of Osnaburgh, who lauded her backers by the shortest of heads. In the Forbury Stakes Cock of the North scored a third victory for Mr Merry, aud placed 95 guineas to the credit of the Fund, the latter realising altogether from this scrarce upwards of £ 320! Next came the Stand Plate, for which the large number of twenty- seven starters ( four more than last year) was telegraphed. Such a field was in itself a sufficient proof of the excellence of the gallant . Admiral's handicap, and further testimony of its " open" character was afforded by the absence of any very prominent favourite as in former years. Several were more or less fancied, but as invariably happens in this race all the " pots" were upset, and a two year old for the second year in succession proved the winner— Messrs Greville and Payne running first and second with Grand Duchess and Mabel, the latter of whom, by the bye, was backed for by far the most money. The winner was ridden in Colonel Martyn's colours, and the bookmakers in the ecstacy of the mo- ment fancied that Nereus had won, until the telegraphing dispelled the illusion, when they had the mortification to dis- cover that in most of the lots of six they gave against the field the " pickers" had first, second, and third ! Cara Fatima was backed against the field for the Selling Stakes which fol- lowed, but getting badly off her chance was at once extinguished, aud Custance astonished Mr Mellish as much by winning on Yesft as on Rotterdam previously. A baker's dozen went to the post for the Whitley Handicap, the last race, and Alembic was considered a sufficiently " good thing" by '* the talents" to get their mony back upon ; but the fate which almost every other favourite met with to- day attended Lord Clifden's horse this journey— a splendid set- to between Theodora and Madame Rachel resulting in favour of the former by a short head. We have elsewhere given what little betting on future events came under our observation, and have only to add that Mongrel was in great force for theEbor Handicap ( for which race Borderer likewise was backed for some money to- day), and V6dette was all the rage " for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, after the an- nouncement that Blink Bonny was struck out, whilst Saunterer was in no favour whatever for the latter race. 5,000 to 5 was laid several times agst Ram ing the winners of the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, but the " picks " did not transpire.

Elfrida made play into the straight, where she was passed by Theory, Alembic, and The Flying Englishman, the former going on with the lead, which he held to the distance, and then dropped off beaten. In a few strides further the fa- vourite showed in advance, aud, disposing of Alembic's challenge opposite the Stand, won very easily by a head, Elfrida finishing a bad third. Amelia was fourth, and Theory fifth, close up ; Auricula and Lunelle tailed off. Run in 2min lOsec. The NURSERY PLATE ( Handicap) of 60 sovs, for two year olds; one mile.

After three failures Wrestler jumped off with the lead, followed by the Rose of Cashmere colt, T. P. Cooke, and Yaller Gal, a wide interval separating them from the ruck, at the head of which was Apollo. Approaching the turn Wrestler hung to the left, and the ethers following him, Apollo obtained a considerable advantage, which he maintained until passing the distance, where he was rejoined by Yaller Gal and the Rose of Cashmere colt, the former of whom obtained the lead below the Stand, aud won cleverly by a neck, Lord Clifden's colt, who met with two or three disappointments, finishing half a length from Apollo. Wrestler was a bad fourth, T. P. Cooke fifth, and Sprightliness next. Run in lroin 56sec.

Hartley Buck took up the running* after the first hundred yards, Hobgoblin lying at his quarters, with Grey Pyrrhus, Signal, aud Comedy in close com- pany at their heels, the next two being Zigzag and The Dupe, and the last lot Borderer, The Hind, and Odd Trick. These positions were maintained to the river side, where, after passing the mile- post, the pace, which, owing to the intricate and crowded state of the course, had been very moderate, visibly improved, but with the exception of Borderer dropping astern at every stride, there was no material alteration in the positions until enteringthe straight, when Cosiedy retired. At the bend Hartley Buck broke down in the off fore leg, and immediately disappeared from the front, leaving the lead with Hobgoblin and Grey Pyrrhus, Signal, and Odd Trick ( who had been gradually improving his position), in close attendance upon him. Directly afterwards a scrimmage took place amongst the front rank, whereby Odd Trick, who was OH the outside, was disappointed, but being quickly recovered, he challenged Hobgoblin half way in the distance, aud made tha finish rather exciting— Hobgoblin winning by a neck only. The grey was beaten four lengths, and close up with him were Zigzag and Signal, almost head and head, The Dupe being sixth, and Comedy next, separated by wide intervals. Hartley Buck walked in.

Bliss Nightingale was fifth, about a neck behind Lord Portsmouth's mare, Melita sixth, head aud head with her, and Badsworth and Plague Royal next.

Approaching the turn, Madame Rachel took second place, and in the straight obtained the lead, owing to Theodora running out a little. The latter ' s disadvantage was only temporary, for getting on good terms with the light weight at tlie distance, the two ran a slashing race home, which resulted in Theodora's favour by a short head, Emulator finishing third two lengths off, about a length in advance of Elfrida, Rotterdam, Zaidee, and Alembic, who were next, close together.

Stewards: Captaiu Christie and H. Padwick, Esq. Clerk of th3 Course: Mr J. S. Walker, Secretary : Mr Moseley. Handi capper and Judge: Mr Johnson, of York. Starter: Mr Elliott. Those acquainted with the previous history of this meeting will readily concede that the efforts directed last year to bring it more in accordance with the " age and body of the time," were both opportune and commendable; and in recommending a curtailment, the management were satisfied that the success of two days' sport was invariably nullified by the third, but the obstinate denizens of this money- making district would consent to no such innovation on " old rights and custom." Matters had reached the worst when the " sticklers" gave in, and the present limit was fixed upon. The meeting, however, had a formidable opponent in Lewes, which was of course patronised by the metropolitan division; and, looking at this and other circumstances, it occurred to us, when furnished with a printed programme for 1858 ( an exact counterpart of the present one), that, however prudent it sometimes might be to take time by the forelock, in this instance ic was at least unwisely premature, as it is evident that the conditions of several of the stakes re- quire remodelling, especially the Cleveland Cup, whilst an im- provement will be effected by the substitution of a smaller stake and forfeit for the principal handicap. Returning to the business under notice, it must be admitted that on paper ap- pearances were flattering, and if the result was not equally commensurate, it in no way detracts from the merit due to Messrs Moseley and Walker, by whose exertions many old- standing prejudices have been removed. Wolverhampton Races without rain would be considered almost as great an impro- bability as racing without horses ; but a reverse of that damping anticipation presented itself in the lovely forenoon of Monday last, the resumption of harvest operations alike gladdening the visitors as" did the prospect of for once in a way escaping a wet jacket, in which, it will be gleaned, they were sadly out of reckoning. Trains from Birmingham ran half hourly, but when the sports commenced at half- past two o'clock, there was a palpable falling off, compared with previous huge attendances. The Ring was well patronised, but business was anything but brisk. The three first events on the card fell to the lot of Shirah, Elfrida ( who upset a " pot" on Schiedam for the Patshull) and Repute. The clouds poured down their drenching contents as the half dozen horses left the enclosure for the chief event of the day, the Wolverhampton Stakes. Oddly eneugh the characteristics of this race for a succession of years have been satisfactory entries, fair acceptances, small fields, and close isssues, and the handicap to- day proved no ex- ception ia either respect. Gunboat, being turned loose, created little interest aud less speculation in London; but as it was pretty well known before proceeding to the course that he was a non- starter, Fisherman became all the rage, aud with Oakball was freely supported, and Mr Parr's horse, upon whom it looked any odds after the first mile, won easily by an uncommon long neck, which might have been extended into a dozen lengths if necessary. Pantomime was struck eut at 9 a. m., on Sunday. Of the fifteen runners for the Ladies' Purse, the talents hit upon first and second in Verona and Leo, and with this per- formance the afternoon's diversion ended. The Innkeepers* Plate having failed to obtain entries, it was re- opened, but shared a similar fate 011 Wednesday, when the weather, though now and then threatening, held up fine. Business was resumed with the Borough Members' Plate, after which the Chillington Stakes, contested by half a dozen youngsters, furnished a most in- teresting race, terminating in a dead heat between Mainstay and Orchchill, whose owners determined torunitout. andthe deciding " touch" was reserved to wind up the meeting, when, with 6 to 4 on Orchehill, a magnificent struggle resulted m the victory of the mare by a short head. Queen Bess had the call of Claret for the Holyoake Handicap, but the latter never gave his opponent a chance. Subsequently it was discovered that the horses had run a quarter of a mile over the stipulated course, but that mistake could not interfere with the decision. Fisherman won the Cleveland Cup, " hands down," but at the scale the owner of Oakball objected to the winner, on the ground that he ought to have carried 9st 3lb instead of Sst lllb. The decision was not given when our reporter left, though long odds were offered that the objection cotdd not be sustained. Whichever way the matter may be decided, it affords another illustration of the fallacy of retaining such absurdly complicated and incompre- hensible conditions. Mr Parr won the Stakes and Cup last year with the same horse, Goldhill. The Stewards' Plate was carried off by Jane, the Foal Stakes by Laodamia, and the deciding heat for the Chillington sustained interest and excitement to the close.

No change occurred until reaching the bottom the last time, where Kestrel beat a retreat, leaving Tame Deer in pos- session of the lead, and the favourite immediately going up to the latter lav at his quarters into the straight, where Fisherman and the light- weight were left in attendance on the leading pair. Inside the distance Oakbail cried " enough," and Tame Deer dropping away about fifty yards from home left Fisherman arid Queen Bess to finish the race, the latter failing in her eftort to reach the horse, who won easily by a neck— we thought it nearer a length— three parts of a length between second and third, Oakbail was two lengths from Tame Deer, Kestrel next, close up, and The Shadow beaten off.

There was no change in the forward division until the retirement of Skyscraper at the three- quarter mile post, when Verona shot to the front, was not headed afterwards, and, with Leo alone sticking to her to the half distance, won in a canter by a length and a half; the third finishing a neck from the second, and two lengths in advance of the fourth; Violet Fane and Lazy Lass were next, and after them in a body came Kingfisher, Skyscraper, Lunelle, Farmer Ashfield, and Mary Lovell; Meridian bolted in the bottom.

In the next few strides Orchehill aud the far vourite drew upon Mainstay, and closing with him at the dis- tance, the trio ran locked together to the lower end of the pad- dock, where Kelpie fell back, and a splendid struggle with the other two resulted in a dead heat. The third was beaten a length, and Geneva, who got very badly off, was a middling fourth. Run in 53iec.— Deciding heat: 13 to 8 on Orchehill.

KNIGHTON RACES. Steward:' Capt Coates ( 7th Hussars). Clerk of the Course Mr W. Edwards. FRIDAY, AUG 14— Anticipations of a nice little meeting were knocked on the head by thunder storms which, during the whole of yesterday and up to an early hour this morning, raged violently over the Welsh district and the Hereford and Worces- ter counties. Miles of highway ware laid under water, and to a depth that in places rendered it dangerous even for vehicles to pass, the injury to the crops being most serious of all. Hence the non- arrival of several horses known to be en route nullified the exertions of the indefatigable clerk. C.

ARDROSSAN ST LEGER— The taste for coursing is decidedly in the ascendant in Ayrshire, under the fostering care of the Ardrossan Club. The above stake for puppies, bond fide the property of members of the club ( most, if not all of them tenant farmers and resident gentry on Lord Eglinton's estate), closed on the 6th inst with 65 nominations. The running for this stake comes off on the 26th November, at Sharphill, which abounds, with hares, fleet, stout, and straight running. It presents very superior trial ground, and the lover of the leash could find no finer treat than a few days' coursing on Sharphill, when on foot he has a perfect view of the whole course. The club has been fortunate in securing this season the services of M* J* ivid Brown, Dairy, as acting secretary. Died, on the 5th inst, of distemper, red dog Sailor Boy ( late Swan's), by Japhet out of Barbara. PIGEON SHOOTING.

The first regatta in connection with the Mersey Rowing Club came off on Monday last, at Rock Ferry. Considerable interest attached to the proceedings from the fact that; some of the best rowers belonging to the London, the Newcastle, and the Manchester clubs w ere going to contest with the Mersey club for the several prizes. The river was rather rough at the com- mencement of the races for the light gigs, but as the tide receded the water became more favourable. A largo number of persons were attracted from Liverpool and other places to witness these aquatic sports; but the company would doubtless have been much greater were it not for the threatening state of the weather, and towards the close of the races a heavy fall of rain took place, which soon reduced the number of spectators who had crowded the Rock Ferry esplanade and other places from which a good view of the river could be obtained. For the accommodation of the public Messrs Hetherington plied their boats every quarter of an hour during the afternoon. Mr James Fairrie, the secre- tary of the regatta, Mr Tomlinson, and other members of the committee, were on board the flag- ship, which was anchored close to Rock Ferry slip. The following is a list of the races :— 1. £ 40 CUP, for Gentlemen Amateurs, in four- oared unrigged boats.— Course: From Bromborough Pool to Rock Ferry slip, passing inshore of flag- boat. There was a large number of entries for this race, but the following only started:— Mersey Rowing Club: G. Woodward, J. S. Fairrie, F. Holden, A. J. Fairrie, and C. Taylor ( coxswain. London Rowing Club : A. A. Casamajor, J. Nottidge, J. Paine, H. H. Play ford, aud G. B. Tomlinson ( coxswain). This race created considerable excite- ment. It was well contested, and resulted in the London beat- ing the Mersey by a boat's length. 2. AKBAR BOY3, for a prize of £ 2.— This was a capital race, from Rock Ferry slip round a boat moored at New Ferry, and back. The youths displayed much skill in rowing, and they were loudly cheered by the crews of the several vessels they passed on the river, The " captain's boat" was declared to be the winner. 3. WATERMEN'S RACE, in four- oared boats, open to the world, — Prize £ 30 for first boat, £ 8 for second, and £ 5 for third. Course the same as first race. The following started: Elswick Crew ( Newcastle): H. Ault, S. Wood, E. Winship, T. Bruce, and J. Richards ( coxswain). Five Friends ( Manchester): Williams, Cronsham, J. Williams, M. Taylor, and Posthlewaite ( coxswain). Mersey: J. Stewart, D. Toule, J. Hay, R. Swann, and E. Black ( coxswain). From the first it was evident that the contest really lay between the Newcastle and the Manchester. The Mersey ap- peared to have nochance; butthis maybe accountedfor from the circumstance that the members had had no previous training in the boat in which they rowed. The Newcastle men won' by about two boat's lengths, the Mersey coming in last. 4. £ 15 CUP, i'or Gentlemen Amateurs, in pair- oared boats.— Course as above. Two boats only started, London Rowing Club: J. Paine, H. H. Playford, and H. H. Weston ( coxswain).— . Mersey Club : F. Dennis, G. B. Shaw, and G. B. Tomlinson ( cox- swain). The race was easily won by the London men. 5. PRIZE of £ 10, for Men from the Man- of- War Hastings and Revenue Cutter Prince Albert.— Several boats started, and the rowing was greaily admired. Won by one of the boats belonging to the revenue cutter. 6. WATERMEN'S PAIR- OARED RACE, FOR £ 22. — First boat, £ 15; second, £ 5 ; third, £ 2.— For this race there were three heats. The boats came in as follows :— First heat: 1, Elswick crew, E. Winship and T. Bruce ; 2, Five Friends ( Manchester), M. Taylor aud J. Williams ; 3, Albert Club ( Manchester), E. Bar- ratt and F. J. Barratt.— Second heat: 1, Snakspere, H. Ault and S. Wood ; 2, Five Friends, J. Cronshaw and G. Williams ; 3, Mersey, L. Bay and R. Swann.— Third heat: 1, Elswick crew, E. Winship and T. Bruce ; 2, Shakspere, H. Ault and S. Wood ; 3, Five Friends, J. Croiishaw and G. Williams. The racing in - each contest excited much interest, and the rowing was excellent. 7. GENTLEMEN AMATEUBS' RACE, FOR £ 20 CUP.— Winners of the £ 40 cup excluded, which consequently excluded the London men. The prize was contested for by the members of the Mersey Club, the boats coming in as follows :— 1, G. Woodward, J. S. Fairrie, F. Holden, A. J. Fairrie, and J. Taylor ( coxswain); 2, J. Fairrie, F. Dennis, E. Robinson, G. B. Shaw, and G. B. Tomlin son ( coxswain). The day's proceedings closed by the members of the Mersey Club and their friends from London, Manchester, Newcastle, and other places dining together at the Rock Ferry Hotel. We are requested to acknowledge, on the part of the London Rowing Club, the great kindness and attention they received during their stay. EDWARD ALEXANDER of Chelsea will row George Shepard of the same place from Putney to Barnes Bridge, for £ 5 a side. % - The match oan be made on Monday evening, at the Magpie and Stump, Cheyne- walk, Chelsea, ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. ( CONCLUDED.) In resuming our report of this royal aquatic festival, we may say that, as far as the races were concerned, we were enabled to furnish our readers with the result of Thursday's and Friday's matches by means of the electric telegraph. But in conformity with the intimation then given, we proceed to give a full report of each day's proceedings, prefacing the same by stating that the match for fifty sovereigns subscribed by the members of the squadron, to be sailed for on Saturday, the 8th, did not come off, owing to some little disagreement which occurred in reference to the new classification of the yachts, and the new mode of admeasurement according to the S. Y. S. regulations, by which the Lulworth would measure 112 tons instead of 80 tons, which she has previously sailed under, and the tonnage of the other vessels which had entered would, by the same rule, have re- ceived a corresponding addition. We may enter more fully into the new mode of measurement at our leisure, and for the present content ourselves by saying that if it be possible to find out a Gorrect mode for ascertaining the tonnage which should be applicable to racing craft, the sooner it is adopted the better. The present method is certainly by no means satisfactory; it has given rise to frequent complaints, as also in the time for tonnage as laid down by the scale known as Ackers's, which in the present age of shipbuilding is not adapted for the purpsse. The idea of a vessel like the Arrow ( 102 tons) giving to the Mosquito 21m 20sec on the Queen's Course is preposterous; particularly as the one spreads nearly as Liuch canvas as the other; and again, the Arrow to allow the Wildfire, a schooner of 53 tons, to be classed as a cutter of 36 tons, and to receive 31 minutes! In short, cutters ought to compete with cutters, and schooners with schooners. With reference to the contemplated match of Saturday, the following were the entries, viz :— NAME. RIG. TONS. OWNER. ZOUAVE Schooner.... 105.... Richard Arabin, Esq LULWOBTII .... Cutter 80.... Joseph Weld, Esq WILDFIRE .... Schooner.... 58.... J. TurnerTurner, Esq VESTAL Schooner 74.... F. . Marshall, Esq MARAQUITA .. Schooner.... 105.... F. B. Carew, Esq With these entries an exciting and very interesting match might have been expected as between the Zouave and the Mara- quita, and the Wildfire and the Vestal, although there was little doubt but the Lulworth would have walked off with the prize. Up to the last moment, " to take stations," ail was breathless anxiety. Spectators flocked to the Parade to witness the start, and our reporter proceeded to Ryde with the hope of availing himself of the facilities there offering for witnessing the pro- gress of the yachts in their course to the eastward, round the Nab and back, taking the precaution to leave an aide- de- camp on the spot, and throwing out skirmishers to do their part, so that, by compiling notes, we should be enabled, as we have done in the other matches, to present our yachting friends with a proper report of the match. All the plans were, however, frus- trated, and the match was not sailed. Wo therefore return to the proceedings of Wednesday and subsequent days, which were only glanced over in our last. WE DNESDAY, AUG 5.— NO match occurred this day, neverthe- less the roadstead presented an enlivening spectacle. The muster of yachts being much greater than on the preceding days, every one appeared to do honour to the event, but there is no doubt the anticipated arrival of the Emperor and Empress at Osborne was the cause of bringing so many yachts together, The annual dinner took place at tfee S qua • Iron Mouse this evening, and about 50 of the members arrayed themselves under the banner © f the noble Commodore, the Earl of Wilton, who presided on the occasion, supported by the Marquis Conyngham in the vice- chair. Among those present we have been furnished with the following list .— The Marquis of Drogheda, Earl Mount- Charles, F. P. Delm6 Radcliffe, Cnarles Lee, Esq; Thomas Thornhiil, Esq ; T. Thornhiil, jun, Esq ; Richard Fraukland, Esq ; Spen- ser de Horsey, Esq ; John E. Rolls, Esq; Wm. Delafield, Esq ; Captain Hamilton, S. Block, Esq ; Lieut- Col Baring, Dr Hoff- meister, surgeon to the R Y. S.; Rev J. Breeks Atkinson, chap- lain ; Sir Alex. Bannerman, Captain Hamilton, Frederick Lee, Esq ; G. Holland Ackers, Esq ; and T. Chamberlayne, Esq ; the flag- officers of the R. V. Y. C.; A. Hambrough, Esq ; Wm. Moore, Esq ; George Young, Esq; Commander De Horsey, Benj. H. Jones, Esq ; Le Marchant Thomas, Esq ; Captain Claxton, A. Lumley, Esq ; al30 Captain the Hon Joseph Denman, of the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, and Capt Crispin, of the Fairy tender; H. S, II. the Prince Leiningen, Lieut Dalzell, LordAu- nesley, & c. We need hardly say that the banquet was of the most recherche description, the wines being from the R. Y. S. cellar; and that the customary loyal toasts and those with reference to the squadron were given and received nem. con. THURSDAY.— In addition to the programme ef the R. Y. S., a private match came off this day between the four following noble schooners. The course was from their moorings off the R. Y. S. Castle to the eastward round the Nab Light vessel, thence re- turning round the Leap Buoy, leaving both on the star- boardhand. It being a private ; match the yachts were started by signal. There was a fine breeze from the west- ward, and with a flood tide running to the eastward. There were some lowering elouds over- head, but as noon advanced the weather, upon the whole, became favourable for the spectators, The following were the yachts which started :— NAME. TONS. OWNER. FANCY. 120.... Marquis of Drogheda LANCASHIRE WITCH ,. 94,... Lawrence Palk, Esq, M. P. EUGENIE 92 ... RichardFrankland, Esq CECILE 190.... Marquis Conyagliam The Fancy took a slight lead, but soon gave way to the Eugenie, then came the Lancashire Witch, and the Cecile last. In this manner they passed through the roadstead, and the Cecile over- took them off the Point, and eventually took the lead and kept it throughout. On passing Ryde pier the Cecile was a good half- mile ia advance of the others, which appeared pretty well to- gether. After passing Ryde the breeze somewhat dropped, until they had got well down the east channel, when it freshened from the southward and westward ; the Cecile, however, maintained her leading position, and about 2: 10 returned past the Warner Light vesse', about a mile in advance of the others. From hence they had a beating wind home, in which the Cecile showed her weatherly capabilities, so peculiar to the " White's school." This yacht, we may remark, was built by Messrs John and Robert White, from their lines at their branch establishment at East Cowes, and more with a regard to comfort and accommoda tion than for speed, and her performances to- day exceeded the most Banguine expections. At 4: 40 the Cecile passed through Cowes Roads, on the port tack to the westward of the Brambles, Fancy and Eugenie off Old Castle Point, aud about 4: 50 we fell in with the Lancashire Witch off Osborne. Eventually the Cecile accomplished her part in rounding the Leap buoy, and arrived at the goal at 6h 51miu lOsec, and the Fancy at 7h 24 mi a. The Eug6nie and Lancashire Witch, finding there was not the least chance left for them, gave in on arriving in the roads, and went to their moorings. During the afternoon, while the yachts were away, the Town Regatta came off in front of the Parade, which consisted of the usual bill of fare— rowing matches, punt races, and duck hunts— and afforded much amusement to the spectators, who literally thronged the Parade. The entrance of the harbour presented an animated spectacle from the number of boats and yachts of every description moored in the vicinity, which, with- out exception, displayed most conspicuously the French colours at their mast- heads. In the evening there was a display of fire- works on the Parade, which brought together au additional number of spectators from all parts of the island. FRIDAY.— HER MAJESTY'S CUP DAY.— This day was ap- pointed for the sailing for her Majesty's Cup, value 100 guineas, annually sailed for by yachts of the squadron. This royal gift, as well as that of the Prince Consort, is under the sole direc- tion of the Commodore of the squadron, and this season it was directed to be sailed for by cutters under 100 tons, belonging to members of the squadron, aud was contested for by the follow^ ing yachts :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. EXTRAVAGANZA .... 48 Sir Percy F. Shelley, Bart CAPRICE 56 Lieut- Col Chas. Baring LULWORTH 80 Joseph Weld, Esq MARITANA 57 Douglas J. Dickenson, Esq The preparatory gun having been fired at 9: 55, ten o'clock precisely gave the signal to start. There was a strong breeze at the time prevailing from the west- north- west with disagreeable weather, but which was not of any lengthened duration. The Maritana was the first to get away, followed by the Lulworth, Extravaganza, and Caprice, carrying with them a strong flood tide to the eastward, and after passing through the roads, edged away to the north- ward, and at 11 a. m. tfeey passed through Stokes Bay, in the following order: Lulworth leading by about a quarter of a mile, then followed Extravaganza and Caprice close together, and Maritana at a respectable distance. The wind here dropped, and the heavens threatened a return of dirty weather. The Maritana at 11: 15 passed the Caprice. The Lulworth increased her distance by at least half a mile. On nearing Spithead there was a slight change of positions, and theN. W. buoy of the Stourbridge was passed in the following time and order :— H. M. s. I H. M. s, I H. M. s. LULWORTH .. 11 32 10 EXTRARA- MABITANA ... 11 40 22 ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. RYDE, MONDAY, AUGUST 10.— Comparing the present week with the past, we may say that the yachts had forsaken Cowes and fled to Ryde to be present at the annual festival Of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. Last week the yachts of this neighbourhood were at the rendezvous, but the first day of the week has brought them all back, and many more besides. It would, therefore, ba needless to recapitulate them and their respective owners, as we beheld very few but what had honoured the Squadron's festival the week previous. As regards the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, or the Royal Red, as it is termed, we may say, from appearance*, that it is in a flourishing condition, and, according to its yacht list, which has just been published, it numbers no less than 60 yachts aud 364 members, comprising 80 of the first class, 259 second class, and 29 honorary members. Of the locality we have little to add to what we have stated iu former years, whether of its topography or the public spirit of the inhabitants, who have brought it to its present flourishing condition. They have kept pace with the times, and added to it such additional improvements and facilities of communication with the opposite shore, that it may now rank as a fashionable resort in the season. The number of mansions which year after year are added to the place readily find occupants, and augment the number of its resident gentry ; this is a great feature to the place and to the prosperity of the inhabitants. The programme of the regatta was as follows:— On Monday, 10th August, Sub- scription Prize of £ 100, open to all yachts belonging to a royal yacht club, or to foreign yachts belonging to a royal or national yacht club; time for tonnage, half Ackers's scale ; to start at 10: 30. Tuesday, a match for a silver cup, presented by F. B. Carew, Esq, open to all yachts belonging to the R. V. Y. C. On Wednesday the annual dinner at the Club House. On Thurs- day a Club Prize of £ 50, open to all schooners belonging to the club. A Club Prize of £ 50, open to all cutters belonging to the club. OH Friday boat racing and other aquatic sports at 2: 30 p. m., aud the R. V. Y. C. annual ball at the Club House. MONDAY.— The day betokened everything that was cheeriBg; a gentle breeze from the westward prevailed, which it was hoped would increase with the day. The pier head was crowned with fashionable spectators towards the hour of start. Afloat the spectacle was magnificent. Off the pier the Commodore's flag- ship, the Brilliant, stood prominently out among the number of yachts at anchor, being gaily decorated low and aloft in her holiday trim, and, in fact, the wholefleetof yachts displaying their bunting to advantage, the French flag being conspicuous. On the right of the pier the men- of- war at Spithead had also dressed ship, but this was ia honour of the departure of their Impe- rial Majesties, whieh had been announced to take place at 2 p. m. Towards Osborne was seen the fleet of English and Frenoh men- of- war, and the royal yachts of both nations, with their signal flags and celours displayed, all tending to increase the beauty of the spectacle. As the hour for the start approached, every yacht in the intended race was at her allotted station, and the follow ing were the entries :— NAME. RIG. TONS. OWNER. 1. ARROW cutter.... 102.. Thomas Chiimberlayne, Esq. 2. EXTRAVAGANZA.. cutter.... 48.. Sir Percy Shelley, Bart. 3. EMMET cutter.... 28.. Edward Gibson, Esq. 4. WILDFIRE schooner. 56.. J. Turner Turner, Esq. 5. LULWORTH cutter..., 80 . Joseph Weld, Esq. 6. MARAQUITA .... schooner .125.. F. IS. Carew, Esq. 7. QUIVER cutter.... 12.. Thomas Chamberiayne, Esq. 8. VESTAL schooner. 74.. F. Ord Marshall, Esq. 9. ZOUAVE schooner. 105.. Richard Arabin, Esq. 10. PHANTOM cutter.... 27.. Sniuel Lane, Esq. 11. WHIRLWIND cutter,... 77.. Frederick Thynne, Esq. 12. MOSQUITO ..... cutter.... 50.. Thomas Groves, Esq. 13. DON JUAN cutter 10.. W. Cooper, Esq. The Thought, F. Ord Marshall, Esq, was withdrawn. The course was that generally known as the Victoria Course, viz, from the station abreast of the pier to the Nab Light, thence returning to the westward round the west buoy of the Middle and back; twice round. Punctually at 10: 30 the starting gua was fired ( the usual preparatory signals having been pre- viously attended to), and the yachts were iu motion. The Arrow was the first to draw out from the yachts, followed by Extra- vaganza, then Wildfire, Lulworth, Quiver, and the other schooners, with; the Whirlwind last. Thus slowly onward they pursued their course to pass the Noman buoy, the Arrow and Extravaganza holding together, escorted in their wake by the Wildfire. In a moment the Lulworth was observed overtaking them, and with a speed, in the light breeze which prevailed, which indicated that' she would carry off the sovereigns; in short, the exclamation among the spectators on the pier was ' It's all up." The yachts in the race had now got into some- thing like tolerable order, the whole of them apparently spread- ing all the canvas they could hoist. At 11: 15 they passed the Warner, Arrow still leading, followed by Extravaganza, Lulworth, and the Emmet, each within about a cable's length of the other. At a respectable distance came the rest iu a cluster. The Whirl- wind seemed now to pass one by one of the rearguard, until she eventually shook off her companions. She had the worst start, owing to the prolonged time in getting her mainsail up. From the Noman to the Nab the wind became paltry, and oc- casionally dropped calm. Arrow and a few others reached over to the southward and eastward, apparently in search of a southerly wind previous to rounding the Light ship. The wind became ba tiling, and went round the compass ; again it became somewhat steady, and the order of things was reversed, those yachts which were to leeward now being the weathermost vessels, and some were seen to walk away from the others, and with a breeze which seemed to make them speak, " Good bye, my love, good bye." The Zouave now took the lead, and was the first to round the Light vessel, which was accomplished in the following time and order, wnich we give to show the relative positions in whieh the yachts were placed by the variable airs which prevailed in the neighbourhood about the fiekle hour of noon, as is frequently tne case in this summer- like weather :— H. M. S. H, M. S. H. M. S" ZOUAYB 11 57 0 WHIRLWIND.. 12 7 50 WILDFIRE.... 12 11 30 QUIVER 12 2 0 ARROW 12 8 10 VESTAL 12 15 40 LULWOBTH .. 12 2 2 MOSQUITO 12 1110 MARAQUITA .. 12 17 0 We did not time the others, in consequence of not being able to discern their distinguishing flags. A pleasant breeze from S. W. by W. had now become somewhat steady, and the yachts were working up to the Noman, frequently going about as occa- sion required. They passu! in a line with the Noman, as follows :— H, M. 3. H. M. S. H. M. s. ZOUAVE 12 88 0 EXTBAVA- ARROW 12 43 25 LULWORTH .. 12 89 0 GANZA 12 40 35 QUIVER 12 48 45 MOSQUITO 12 41 25 But as these vessels merely passed the . Noman it was impossible to discern whether one was to leeward © f the other or not. Lul- worth, however, appeared to be the leading vessel to windward. In this manner they were on their port tack, and worked up be- tween Spithead and the Sand, some of them keeping their reach longer to the north shore than the others, eventually passing Ryde Pier in the following order, Lulworth, Arrow, aud Mos- quito close together, aud making tack for tack between the San is Head aud the pier, which was passed asunder:— H. M. s. | H. M. s. I H, M. s, LULWORTH .. 1 14 0 PHANTOM .... 1 26 15 EXTRAVA- ARROW 1 15 0| WILD* IBE.... 1 2TJ 40 | GANZA 1 29 55 MOSQUITO .... 1 15 30 | EMMET L 29 0 I QUIVER 1 38 0 ZOUAVE 1 20 0 DON JUAN. ... 1 29 80 VESTAL 1 42 30 WHIRLWIND.. 1 20 30 I | MARAQUITA .. 1 58 0 The leading vessels now tacked and stood in towards the island. The pier was now thronged with fashionables, who most bitterly complained to us of the absence of any kind of band at the pier head to enliven the moaotony of the scene Oil turning our glass towards Osborne, about two p. m., we found the yachts in the vicinity of the regal waters, carrying with them a splendid breeze, and presenting to the royal and imperial families a very picturesque scene— salutes firing in every direction, and the whole fleet of yachts under way. As a matter of course the at- tention of the spectators was absorbed and directed to that par- ticular locality, so that it was utterly impossible for any one to single out the competing vessels from the fleet which closed with them— and therefore they were not timed oa rounding the west buoy of the Middle. At length we observed the Lulworth, Arrow, aud the Mosquito coming up inside the Royal yachts, thus affording to her Majesty and her imperial guests a splendid view of the race. And while the yachts were re- turning towards Ryde to complete the first"~ round of the course, the Imperial fleet got under way amid the roar of gun, and, of course, the m^ st cordial salutations between the royal aud imperial families. This was about half- past two ; the steamers proceeding direct for Spithead, as if to get out of the way of the yachts in the race, which latter passed the pier, and completed the first round in the following time and order:— middle buoy, bore away for the eastward, completing the first roundof the course as under:— H. M. s. I H. M. s. I H. M. s. ARROW 2 14 40 I ZOUAVE 2 28 15 I VESTAL 2 82 30 From hence the second round of the course was proceeded with, but as the Arrow was nearly a quarter of an hour iu advance of the Zouave, it was evident that the cup, barring an accident, would inevitably fall to her lot. Henceforth there was little or no excitement. During the afternoon there were a few passing showers, which had the effect of thinning the population on the pier. The Arrow eventually rounded the Nab about thirteen minutes in advance of Zouave, and then continued down the West Channel, rounding the western limit of her course at 4: 20 p. m., and at about five p. m. the Zouave had only approached Old Castle Point. The return was as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. ARROW 5 12 301 ZOUAVE 5 35 50 | VESTAL 5 58 40 The Arrow was consequently declared the winner, and the cup was presented to the Vice- Commodore the same evening. THURSDAY.— In conformity with the programme, there was only one match to come off, namely, the Club Prize of £ 50, open to all schooners belonging to the R. V. Y. C.; to start at 10: 30. The following were the entries :— NAMLF. TONS. OWNER. 1. MARAQUITA 125 F. B. Carew, Esq. 2. WILDFIRE 56 T. Turner Turner, Esq. 8. VESTAL 74 Ford Marshall, Esq. 4. ZOUAVE 105 Richard Arabin, Esq. From some cause unknown to us the Wildfire aud Vestal did not take part in the contest. In the roadstead the muster of yachts was as numerous as on the preceding days. The sun shone brilliantly, and a fresh breeze prevailed > rom the south- east, and in consequence of the wind being in that quarter a dead beat to tha Nab was the result. At 10: 30 the starting- gun was fired. Sails were immediately hoisted, and although the Zouave was the first to draw out, the Maraquita was the first to get her canvas set, and in a few minutes passed to windward of her. She had, however, the weathermost station, which gave her some little advantage, though it was not of long duration. Both yachts soon set their topsails, and stood over towards Spithead, and as it appeared to us, neither would give way, and the result was that both went on shore together be- tween the Dean and the Horse, when in the act of going about. The accident happened at eleven precisely— fortunately the flood tide was cotaiug in, and from their equal draught of water it was not anticipated they would remain long on the ground. They immediately lowered their mainsails, and used their best exertions to get afloat. The Zouave was the leewardmost vessel ashore; at 11: 12 she was observed to wear round, and was agaiu afloat. She in a few minutes passed by the Maraquita. At 11: 30 the Zouave continued to walk away by herself, carrying a rattling breeze, aud at 11: 50 was closed from our view by the land, the Maraquita still aground. At noon a tug hove in sight, and left the mud lighters which she had been towing, and pro- ceeded to her assistance. A hawser was soon carried out, and at 12: 15 she was hove afloat into deep water, having been ashore about an hour and a quarter, all which tirae the Zouave was walking away by herself. At 12: 50 she returned by the Noman. The wind now dropped, aud she got out her balloon- jib, and continued her portion of the match alone. At 1: 20 she passed Ryde, and proceeded to the westward, to walk round the remainder of the course. The Maraquita appeared hove to near the accident, and as she had given up the contest the match afforded no further interest. An attempt was made to get up a match between cutters aud schooners, the first of each rig to have £ 25, but the match did not come off. The cutters Hesperus, Shadow, Haidee, Spell, and Thought were entered, but as the latter would not sail without time being allowed, she withdrew, and the others fol- lowed her example. Among the schooners which were willing to enter were the Wildfire, Beatrice, and Vestal, but here agaiu another plea was put in, and instead of a prize being drawn a blank was the result, to the mortification of the numerous per- sonages who congregated on the fashionable pier of Ryde. On Friday the amusements consisted of boat racing, & e. We have repeatedly notified the propriety of yachts not in the match displaying their ensign at the peak in order that they may be readily distinguished from those competing in the race. Our correspondent informs us that in the match of Monday he has ascertained that it was the Midge cutter which rounded the Nab, iustead of the Quiver. The Midge was not in the race, and thus it was that the Quiver was not timed. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The usual monthly meeting of the Ranelagh Yacht Club was held last Wednesday evening, at the club house, S wan Tavern, Battersea, when the Commodore presided, and was supported by a numerous body of members. After the reading of the minutes and the transaction of the ordinary routine of busiuess, the secretary read the report of the second match of the season, which was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be entered on the minutes ; and a vote of thanks was accorded to the gentle- men who acted as stewards on that occasion, for the very ex- cellent arrangements which they had made and carried out. The Vice- Commodore having alluded, on board the steam- boat, to certain differences which he said existed between himself and the Commodore, and having alse said that by next season he hoped to see another above bridge club established, was called upon for an explanation, which he declined to give, on the ground that it was not a club matter. Mr Hopewell, one of the auditors, then gave notice that at the next meeting, in default of any satisfactory explai ation from the Vice- Commo- dore, he should move that he be requested to resign his office. Several names having been placed upon the list for ballot, the meeting was adjourned until Wednesday, the 9th of September. THE ACCIDENT AT THE LATE GRIMSBY REGATTA. MR EDITOR : When any circumstance occurs in the course of a sporting transaction calculated to mar the general harmony, it usually happens that very opposite statements reach you from interested parties on both sides, and an angry correspond- ence is the result. I need not enlarge en liow much this is to be deprecated, and therefore I send you a plain statement of facts as a disinterested eye- witness. I became acquainted with the gentlemen sailing with the Avalon on the Saturday before the race, and they finding that my own yacht was not going to sail, most kindly invited me to join thera. I availed myself of this, and therefore was on board whtn tfee collision occurred. After rounding the first buoy, we were able to lie up about two points to windward of the next turning point. The Rapid had the lead, the Avalon on her weather quarter, and the Aquiline in the same position with regard to us, all tearing along with a fresh breeze and a strong flood tide. All the yacht s kept close by the wind until near a buoy, which our sailing orders directed us to go to leeward of. To effect this the Rapid kept away ; the Avalon, not seeing room to pass between her aud the buoy, was compelled to keep away also, and got into the Rapid's wake; this enabled the Aquiline to range up on the weather beam of the Avalou. She also found she had not room to pass, and her helm was put up at once, but too late; the tide was so strong she had not time to cient and willing assistance. Want of spaee prevents our giving more than the results.— Egliugton Medals, value 6 guineas, for pair- oared gigs. Clydesdale Clubl, Unity Amateur Club 2.— Merchants' Plate, value 5 guineas, for four- oared boats.

The next deposit will be made and articles drawn up to- morrow ( Monday) evening, at Mr Cusack's, Magpie aud Stump, Cheyne- walk, Chelsea. CLASPER AND WEIGHT.— We shall not attempt to enter into the little misunderstanding which prevented this match taking place on the appointed day, strongly hoping that both parties will see how much it will be for their interest that the race should be rowed, either immediately or at some interval of time to be at once agreed upon. It may be as well to add that the articles aud the £ 5 a side originally staked with some one in the country have never yet been forwarded to us. ALFRED CHITTY OF RICHMOND.— The disposal of the portrait of Alrred Chitty by lot took place, as announced, at Mr Jones's, Old Ship, Richmond, on Tuesday evening, and the number of tickets disposed of was 303. The holder of the lucky number ( 200) can receive the painting at Mr Jones's on producing his ticket. The pleasures of the evening were considerably enhanced by the arrival of Robert Chitty, attired in the Leander Coat and Badge, which he had just won.

St- TEDBURY v FELL.— This was an action brought in the Brompton County Court, by Mr C. H. Tedbury, secretary of pay off sufficiently to pass under the Avalon's stern ; she struck \ J. he Ro%&[ Thames National Regatta against Mr James Fell, the buoy, and instantly came stem o'n into the Avalon's weather hcensed victualler, and landlord of the Old Swan Tavern, CAPRICE 11 35 20 | GANZA 11 36 30 1 A strong bieeze now set in from the N. W., accompanied with heavy squalls of rain and thick weather, which rendered it im- possible to note with any degree of certainty their several positions. At 1: 30 they were observed in a cluster off the Noman, amid the pelting of the pitiless storm, for the rain de- scended for a couple of hours in a perfect deluge, driving every- body from the pier. We proceeded to Sea View to ascertain their positions on rounding the Nab. The yachts were now passing the Warner, Extravaganza ( it appeared to us) struck her top- sail, and was fast overhauling the Caprice, and on their ap- proach to the Nab it was impossible to discern from the shore either the light vessel or the yachts. The rain afterwards cleared off, and the Lulworth was observed to windward of the Warner, with topmast housed, followed by Extravaganza, Caprice, and Maritana, deasl to leeward. From the Noman they had a dead beat to the westward, and on their return, passing Ryde Pier, we timed them as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. s. | H. jr. s. LULWORTH L 58 80 CAPRICE 2 9 55 MARITANA .... 2 12 80 EXTRAVAGANZA2 9 50 I From hence the breeee drew round more to the westward, which enabled them to make " along leg and a short leg" in getting down the Solent, the Lulworth keeping the lead, followed by the others on passing Cowes Castle in the following order :— H.

LULWORTH .... 4 29 0 CAP RICH 5 5 84 MAEZTANA .... 5 17 50 EXTRAVAGANZA5 0 201 I During the afternoon there was considerable animation among the yachts at anchor— all of them hoisted their colours and dressed ship in the expectation of a visit from the Emperor. The French tricolor was hoisted indiscriminately at either mast— a whisper ran through the fleet that the Emperor was coming. The French fleet off Osborne having got their steam up were seen approaching with the French standard at the main, and they severally augmented the scene by dropping their anchor among the yachts in Cowes Roads. In a few moments the Fairy, which had been lying off the Trinity Wharf during thfe after- noon, was observed to leave the wharf with the royal and imperial standards at the main, the Admiralty flag at the fore, aud union at the mizen, and make her way amid the boats out of the harbour. On passing the Parade the Queen, Prince Consort, and their illustrious guests were distinctly observed on the quarter- deck, acknowledging the thousand vivas which poured forth from the lungs of the spec- tators. In another moment the guns of the Royal Yacht Squadron assisted in the salutation, which was speedily followed by a number of the yachts. The Fairy then took a turn round the fleet, and, as the yacht passed, the men- of- war manned their yards. The illustrious party then embarked in the royal barge, and proceeded to the Victoria and Albert, which immediately got under way, and proceeded a short distance down the Solent, and returned to Osborne about half- past seven o'clock. The R. Y. S. ball took place on the evening of Friday, and was most fashionably attended. Among those present were the Earl and Countess of Wilton, and several members of the Squadron and their ladies, the Hon Joseph Denman, captain of the royal yacht, the officers of the Fairy and the imperial yachts and men- of- war in the roads, whose uniforms added much to the brilliancy of the spectacle. The dancing was kept up until nearly four a. m. Thus terminated the festival of the Squadron on Friday, owing to the withdrawal of the match appointed to take place on the M. S.

At 3: 30 the leading vessels were close together, and it was the general opinion, should the wind continue, the struggle would be between them for the prize. There was only one question— whether they would reach the goal in sufficient time to prevent their succumbing to half Ackers's scale, particularly a yacht of upwards of 100 tons giving way to a pigmy of 10 or 12 tons. As no particular inci- dent fell beneath our observation during the performance of the second round of the course, we conclude our report of a most exciting and interesting match, performed under the most severe trials of patience and anxious moments to those inter- ested in the match, by merely denoting the time of rounding the west buoy of the Middle, and the arrival at the goal:— MIDDLE riuoY, AT THE GOAL.

We observed the Wildfire when off Binstead carry away her jib tack, and but for this little mishap, she might hare been placed in a better position at the finish. We regret to announce that a very serious accident occurred to two indiv. i(| B » ls while saluting the Emperor's standard, as it passed the Cli^ House battery. About the third gun had fired, when Jacob Harber, a labourer usually employed on the occasion, was ramming home the cartridge ; it exploded, owing evidently to the vent not having been properly served when sponging the gun out, and consequently some of the smouldering wadding must have been left in the gun— the result was that the poor fellow was blown over the platform into the sea— but was immediately rescued with the loss of his hand, and the arm shattered in two places below the elbow, and amputation was performed " high up," during the afternoon, by Dr. Phinn6, at the Infirmary. The signalman, Mr, Petty, who was serving the vent, had the top of his thumb seriously injured, and this it is said will have to be amputated at the joint. We were happy to learn on inquiry that Harber had passed a good night, and was going on favourably. As the accident occurred out of the ordinary course of events, that of saluting thu Emperor and Empress as they passed the Club House on their return to Havre, we have little doubt, should the aocident be laid before the French Embassy, or reach the ears of the imperial family, something more than oommiseration will be transmitted. A meeting of the members of the committee of the club has already been held, who have awarded £ 25 out of the club funds for the relief of Harber, and they have generously given £ 5 to the young man who jumped overboard at the risk of his life and saved him, A private subscription has also been entered into amongst the members, the Commodore heading the list with a donation of £ 5, and in a few hours £ 50 was raised TUESDAY.— There was only one match on the official card of the day, and that was for a silver cup, presented by F. B. Carew, Esq, which was open to be sailed for by any yachts belonging to the R. V. Y. C. Course the same as yesterday. The following were the entries :— NAME. TONS. OWNER. 1. ARROW 182 Thomas Chamberlayne, Esq 2. VESTAL 74 F. O. Marshall, Esq 3. THOUGHT 25 F. O. Marshall, Esq 4. ZOUAUE 105 R. Arabin, Esq From the circumstance that the rules of the club did not per- mit two yachts belonging to the same owner starting in a match, the Thought was withdrawn; and consequently the race was left to be decided between the " old Arrow cutter and the two schooners Vestal and Zouave. There was a moderate breeze from the westward in the forenoon, which subsequently dropped for a while, and, accompanied by a few showers in the afternoon, again freshened. Without offering any remarks on the incon- sistency of the schooners competing with such a formidable antagonist as the Arrow, without a corresponding allowance for time, we will proceed to narrate the few incidents which trans- pired during such an unequal contest. The preparatory signal was duly made by the Brilliant at 10: 30, and an interval of five minutes having occurred the starting gun was fired, when the yachts immediately slipped from their station moorings and got away well together ; the Zouave showed evident symptoms of taking the lead, which she maintained until the yachts ap- proached the Warner Light vessel, when the Arrow passed her to windward, aud somewhat becalmed her sails. They, however, kept well together until they reached the Nab, and they rounded the Light vessel as follows:— H S£ « S. H! E S » M!. S ARBOW 12 26* 501 ZOUAVE 12 27 12 i VESTAL .... 12' 29' 10 They now stood for the Noman, which was passed in similar order ; from hence they hauled their wind orfthe port tack, the Arrow showed a decided superiority over her antagonists and continued to gain upon them from the Sandheads to the pier, so that in passing the pier she was four minutes in advance of the Zouave, and eight minutes from the Vestal, the time of their passing the pier being as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. 8. ARROW L 13 01 ZOUAVE 117 01 VESTAL 1 21 5 They continued oa to the westward, aud having rounded the quarter, carrying « way the bulwarks and stanchions for nearly three yards, driving her jib- boom through the mainsail, and forcing her quite round, and almost under by the force of the shock. At this trying moment the courage, presence of mind, and seamanship of Mr Mason, the sailing master of the Avalon, alone saved her. Although thrown violently into the lee- scuppers, and struck by the tiller, he managed, with the assist- ance of Mr Monk, to get the helm up, and so kept some way on the ship, and gave his orders as clear and firm as though 110 danger were present, and restored confidence to his crew, alike by precept and example. Nor can I close without a tribute to the fearless seamanship and activity of the master of the Kitten, who, not being engaged 011 his own ship, went with the Avalon.— Yours, & c, A MEMBER OP THE R. Y. Y. C. LEANDER CLU& ' COAT, BADGE, AND FREEDOM.— This is certainly one of the most popular matches rowed during the season, aud the good conduct of the men, on this occasion, shows that they are begin- ning to comprehend and appreciate the principles of fairness by which it is the desire of the club to distinguish all their pro- ceedings. The match was adonted out of the ruins of the old Thames Regatta, has been continued ever since, and it is trusted that a prize so useful in bringing out young scullers will be per- severed in. Those qualified to start must have completed the 5th and not have exceeded the 7th year of their apprenticeship, and hail from some stairs above London Bridge. The course is the old one, from Westminster to Putney, but on account of the unusually large entry this year, it was found necessary that the ten competitors should be divided into two heats, aud a short final heat rowed from Putney to Hammersmith by the first two men in each set, which were drawn with stations numbered from the Surrey side, as follows :— FIRST HEAT, 1. Thos. Haywood ( Horseferry).. 1 2. Geo. Everard ( Blackfriars).... 2 3. W. Stiles ( Isleworth) 0 Stiles went off with the lead, fol 4. R. Groves ( Millbank) 0 John Campbell (. Lambeth) .... 0 owed by Groves and Haywood, Queen's- road, West Chelsea, for detaining the Silver Challenge Cup delivered to him and his csew at the Royal Thames National Regatta in the year 1854. Mr Whitehouse was engaged for the plaintiff, and Mr Solomon Yor the defendant.— The judge considered that the committee ought to be plaintiffs, and the case was adjourned to a future day. who soon became unpleasantly close, but between whom a capital race ensued alongside the Penitentiary, until a . collision occurred; after which, Groves, who was in fault, continued to hamper Haywood so much that he was at last ordered to drop astern by the umpire. During this Everard had come up from his position in the rear, and soon after succeeded in passing the leading boat. Haywood, however, freed at length from his difficulties, rowed after the other two, passed them at Battersea, and came in first, Everard being second, and Campbell, who was unwell, nowhere. SECOND HEAT. 4. Robert Chitty ( Richmond) 1 i 3. Joseph Geal ( B'. ackfriars) 0 2. George Parker .. ( Horseferry; 2 1. Edward AiatthewsiBlackfriare) 0 5. James Lowe ( Lambeth) 0 | Chitty went away with the lead, doing as he pleased. An excel- lent race was maintained between Parker and Lowe, but Parker greatly endangered his place by rowing repeatedly across his bows; as it was they came in second aud third. Geal was not far astern of the third man, having rowed a most determined stern wagerinabadboat. Matthews was beaten off. Haviug throughout the summer had occasion to notice with praise the general good conduct of the steam- boat captains during a race, we regret that on this day there should have been a return to the old system. Almost at the conclusion of the race, when the boats were within 300 yards of Putney Bridge, the captain of the Bride, who had previously actually stopped his paddles till the leading boats were up level with him, then set them on at full speed, and, crossing the men clo* e in front, very nearly caused one of them to capsize. We never saw a more wanton piece of ruffianism, or one so totally without a cause, as the waiting could only have been a matter of a few moments. FINAL HEAT. This heat was rowed from Hammersmith Suspension Bridge to Putney Aqueduct. The men started as fellows :— 1, Parker ; 2, Everard ; 3, Maynard; 4, Chitty. Off the new building, Chitty assumed the lead, never again to be passed; but a splen- did race ensued between Parker and Maynard, the latter, how- ever, deprived him of the second place, Everard being last, but the difference was very small, except in the case of the winner. The pace was very fast.— Chitty was called in after dinner and invested with the prize, and a small sum of money was collected for the losers of the final heat, in acknowledgment of their watermanship aud good conduct, and all were satisfied. Parker wore the Baltic medal. Chitty rowed in a boat built by Mr Wheeler of Richmond, which has won eleven coat and badge prizes, besides others of less importance. LONDON UNITY CLUB.— The members of the above club row their second four- oared race this season to- morrow ( Monday), from Barnes Railway Bridge to Putney Bridge, starting at three o'clock precisely. The prizes are five silv er tankards for the first boat, and silver prizes for the second boat, presented by C. Morton, Esq, of the Canterbury Hall, Lambeth, where the club hails from. The following is a list of the crews, and from the excellent classification and well- known merits of the men a close raceisanticipated:— Yellow: H. Dainton, T. Day, R. Jones, J. Bur- rows, T.

THE HAMMERSMITH CEEW.— We have received a letter with respect to these men who rowed so well and pluckily at the late Thames Regatta, of which the following is an extract. We shall be glad to receive any donations that may be forwarded on their behalf, for they certainly deserve every encouragement :— Mr Editor : A few gentlemen, residents of this parish, are en- deavouring to collect a small sum for the Hammersmith crew, which contested so gamely for the Champion Four- oared Prize at the late National Regatta.

SATURDAY", AUG 8.— Handicap races continue to be in the ascendent here, and they appear gradually to gain in interest. The one we are about to notice surpassed most of those by which it had been proceeded, whether we consider the value of the prizes offered for competition, the number of acceptances, or the superior qualifications of many of the pedestrians engaged. Not- withstanding that weather similar to that of this afternoon has a material influence upon sports of this description, aud tends to limit the number of visitors, we do not remember to have previously seen attracted together upon this course so many of the " right sort," and considerable sums were invested upon several of the heats. Among the spectators we observed many of the local Turf admirers, a large assemblage of pedestrian sup- porters, as well as parties who had travelled long distances in order to be present to witness the GREAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP.— The prescribed distance for this interesting event was 400 yards, the first prize being £ 50, second £ 5, third £ 1; and, out of a numerous entry, 37 men accepted, of which not only Lancashire, but the adjoining county of York, as well as other places widely apart, furnished a fair proportion. The competitors were classed in nine lots, four being respectively in the first eight, and five in the last. Mr A.

After several attempts the men got awaj, Smith with the lead of half a yard, which he maintaiaed up to two score, when Ballinger was abreast of him; a well- contested race then ensued, both men being neck and neck up to five score, when Smith put on the steam, and got in a winner by a foot. D. HAETLEY AND YOUNG BAILEY.— The six score yards match between these men excited a good deal of interest among the Birmingham lovers of pedestrianism. The match was for £ 10 a side, and as soon as the ground was cleared ( after Ballitiger and Barnett's race) the men appeared at scratch, each looking in first- rate condition, and cach party confident of the result. A good deal of money was laid out at evens, afterwards done at 5 to 4 on Bailey. After dodging for some time for the start, the men got off level; a severe and well- contested race took place, each man doing his utmost to get first place, but of no avail, for they ran in a dead heat ( according to the referee's, Mr Beubow, decision), each party claiming the victory. The men have since agreed to draw the money, Bailey being compelled for a short time to retire from the pedestrian circle. N. WIBELAND AND A NOVICB.— Soon after the above race these men made their appearance at scratch, to run an off hand match of six scare yards, for £ 3 a side.

W. Lynch of Wednesbury was appointed referee, and after dodging for some time for the start, the men got away, Dearden with a yard start. A well and closely con- tested race ensued, Reed gaining ground towards the latter part of the race, and each striving his best for the victory, but the referee decided it to be a dead heat, although each party claimed the stakes. A good deal of confusion ensued, but the referee re- mained firm to the decision he had given. We have not heard whether the men intend running again, or drawing their stakes. LITTLEHALES AND SMITH.— These Birmingham men have made their money, £ 10 a side, good to the stakeholder, Mr " Tailby, for their six- score yards match, which comes off to- morrow, at Aston Cross Grounds; the men to be at scratch at two o'clock ( not later owing to the Aston FGte), Both men have actively trained for the event, and a clipping race is anticipated.

PEDESTEIANISM AT GAEEATT- LANE, WANDSWOBTH.— IN our last we gave the results of the quarter of a mile haE dicap, and also of that of one mile, which came off on Monday, the Sd inst, at Mr Sadler's grounds, Garratt- lane. On that occasion the win- ners of the three heats for the first- mentioned race were Barb ( alias Shaver) 45 yards start, Sayers 50, and Rnshton 40. The winners of the heats, for the mile handicap, being Littlewood 50 yards start, C. Cooke 40, and Jerry Mahoney 60. Last Monday was the day appointed for the final heats to come off, and at a little after five o'clock the above- mentioned winners of the heats for the quarter of a mile spin toed the scratch. Sayers the favourite at 5 to 4. After a most excellent race little Barb proved the winner by between six and seven yards, Sayers second. Time, 55 seconds. To this succeeded the contest for the one mile race, whew the men took up their relative positions at the above- mentioned distances. Oa the signal being given they darted off at a clipping pace, Mahoney and Littlewood making the running, and maintaining the lead for the first half mile ; here Littlewood fell in the rear, and the contest lay between Cooke and Mahoney, the former, however, gradually drew ahead, and ultimately proved the winner. Time, 4miu 30- ee. After this a spin of 150 yards, for £ 5, came off between Simmonds and a Novice, which was won easily by the former. The day was very fine, the attendance notwithstanding very indifferent. The arrangements of Mr Wm. Prise, who conducted the whole affair and had handicapped the men, gave general satisfaction. The prizes were raid over to the winners in the evening by Mr Sadler. MILITAEY PEDESTEIANISM.— A half- mile race took place at the camp, Curragh of Kildare, on Friday evening, the 7th inst, between Private Glostor ( 56th Regt) and Private Bird ( 94th Regt). A few minutes after the time appointed both men were at the scratch, the betting, whsn they stripped, being at evens. Strong running was made for the first 300 yards, after which the race was no longer doubtful, the " 56th" man having it all to himself, and coming in an easy winner amidst the ap- plause of the whole of the first brigade. The evening was most propitious for the race, a gentle breeze from the southward fan- ning the fair cheeks of many ladies, who graced the course by their presence, and appeared to take the deepest interest in the contest. The men were started by Major- General Gough, C. B., who kindly volunteered his services on the occasion, and accom- panied the men on horseback down the course. MATCH AGAINST TIME.— Robert Bunn of Norwich was re- cently matched by his friends to run a mile in 4min 45sec, for £ 10, aud in 4rain 40sec for £ 15. The event came off on Thurs- day, the 6th inst, on the Ipswich road, near Norwich, and a large number of persons were attracted to the ground. Bunn cama to the starting point about seven o'clock, p. m., aud a time- keeper and referee having been appointed entered on his work, te maintained a capital pace throughout, and reached the goal v^ yithin the shortest time for which he was backed, winning con- sequently both matches in one run. A FOOT RACE of 150 yards, for £ 4 a side, came off at Battersea, on Monday last, between Samuel Mills and Wm. Watts ; after a well- contested race it was won by the former. BEOMLEY AND EDWAEDS.— We have received some more con- flicting testimony iu regard to this match, but they cannot in- dues us to alter our opinion given last week. We still think the race must be run over again, or let each man draw his stakes. ENTEXES POE J. EDMONDSON'S 440 YAEDS HANDICAP RACE on the 24th and 25th of August.

SWIMMING AND DIYING.- ETON.- OH Monday last the annnal swimming matches, for money and other prizes, given by the Eton and Windsor Humane Society to youths who have been educated at any of the public schools in the neigh- bourhood, came off at the bathing- place in the river, called " Athens." There was an iram'nse number of spectators pre- sent. both on land and water, to witness the sports. The fol- lowing is the result:— Boys from 14 to 16, to swim 100 yards- first beat: R. Hall 1, W. Coombs 2, J. Kale 3. Second heat: W. Smith 1, T. Knock 2, R. Haverley 3. Final heat: R. Hall 1, W. Coombs 2; won easily.— Boys from 12 to 14, to swim 50 yards — first heat: W. Emony won by barely a yard, a tie for second place between Woolhouse and Caley. The second heat was won by Buckland by about a yard, Brannan beating May for second honours by a foot. Final heat: Bucklancs 1, Bram. an 2, May 3. In this heat little Emony started before the given signal, and swam the distance, but he refused to start the second time, and therefore had no chance.— Next came the diving for eggs, for a silver medal, given by the Rev W. Carter of Eton College, by boys 12 to 16 years of age, throe dives: Buckland ( who lauued 19) was the winner, J. Sargent ( 18) 2, Hall ( 17) 3.

The sports of the day were brought to a conclusion by men diving, which was won by Miller, who netted 22 in three dives ; a dead heat for second between Guthrie and Gray ( 21 each). The various distances were marked out by flags, and several water- men were in attendance with their punts iu case of accident, but we are pleased to say their services were not required. The whole of the arrangements, which were well carried out, were entrusted to Mr John New, the newly- appointed secretary to the society, and to whom much credit is due. Mr Titus Needliam officiated as umpire, and gave his decision with impartiality. F. E. Beckwith of the Lambeth Baths has left £ 5 iu our hands to swim the Endell- street Champion, or any other man in England, 12 lengths of the Lambeth Baths; but Beckwith must decline swimming in baths smaller than the Lambeth one.

TOM SAYEES AND BEOOME'S NOVICE.— Tom Sayers called on us on Friday and covered the £ 10 staked by Broome's novice, to fight him for the championship and £ 200 a side. Tom says he cannot conceive why the novice should want six months. The stipulation as to holding the belt does not compel Tom to give six months; it merely binds himStojfigiit^ withm six mouths, and this he is willing and anxious to do. He wishes it thus early in order to give him time to turn his attention to Ben Caunt, Either Sayers or a friend will bo at our office between one and two next Friday, prepared to sign articles to fight in three months from next Tuesday, or to give or take a week either way, and to stake as much more as Broome or his novice chooses. This seems to us a reasonable proposition, and we doubt not that at the meeting the men will have no difficulty iu arranging matters satisfactorily. CAUNT ASD SAYEES.— With respect to Caunt's letter last week, Sayers has sent us the following:—" Sir: It was with no wish to raise Caunt's ill temper that I requested to hear from him a fortnight back, although my project of universal vic- tory certainly had something to do with my request. If Mr Caunt will just refresh his memory, he will find he was the aggressor in this matter, and challenged me to fight iu six months after his battle with Langham. That challenge I at once accepted, and covered the £ 10 he staked. How my present conduct can be termed unjust by him I know not. I cover his money, I agree to his terms, and require him to stake something more to bind the bargain, and to this he has not yet consented. Either let him cover the additional £ 10 I hand you with this letter, and sign articles at once, to fight at the appointed time, or let him at once say he does not intend going on, and give me the forfeit to which 1 shall then be entitled. Caunt says I have had my chance with him, and must wait his convenience. I must say I cannot see on what grounds. He calls mo upstart, and otherwise writes in a style which I do not mean to imitate, I accepted his challenge, as I believed it was meant in good humour, and with a desire of seeing which was the better man. How my overtures have beeu met 1 leave the public to judge. My anxious hope is to meet Big Ben of St Martin's- laue iu a 24 feet ring, and 1 shall then be able to try whether either of my clappers will produce tones from his metallic ( I will not say brazen) countenance as many octaves above perfection as those of Big Ben of Westminster are above those to be heard in St Martin's- lsne. Let Ben cover my second tenner, and I am satisfied.— I am, sir, yours obediently, TOM SAYEES." We have received the second £ 10 from Sayers. FIGHTS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY NEXT. LANCASTEE AND MEEK.— These lads forwarded a further de- posit of £ 3 a side on Friday. They fight at 9st 6lb, in the mid- laud district on Monday. The whereabouts can be ascertained from the Tipton Slasher, or at any other sporting house in Wol- verhampton. MALPAS AND PEICE OP BILSTON.— These men have made good their stakes, £ 25 a side, and are to fight between Dudley and Bilston on Tuesday, Malpas confining himself to lOst, and Price to lOst 21b. They weigh at three o'clock the day before fighting. The fixture may be ascertained at any sporting house iu the midland district. HAECOUET AND HAEEISON OP DUDLEY.— These men were matched at 7sfc 6lb, for £ 10 a side, some weeks ba;: k; the men had carefully trained, aud on Saturday week they met at Thompson's, in Bromsgrovc- street, Birmingham, to weigh, when each was found to be within the stipulated 7st 6ib. On Monday morning they met near to the Bell, at Northfield, on the Worcester- road, when soon after twelve both men shied their castors into the ring, Harcourt, attended by Wareham and B. Crutchley, and Harrison by Jem Hosktss and a friend. Both appeared in first- rate condition. Betting : 5 and 6 to 4 on Harrison. The men at once got to work, and in the first round Harcourt drew first blood from Harrison's potato- trap, and, during the early part of the fight, got the knock downblow, doing great execution on the frontispiece of Harrison with his left, and after three- quarters of an hour's hard fighting let fly a left- hander on Harrison's conk, disarranging the bridge. Harrisou was not idle, for he planted some well- directed blows not only on the ribs of Harcourt, but also on the nob and left peeper. After an hour- and- a- balf hard fighting, Harcourt appeared to get weaker; Harrison's friends gained courage, and again laid the odds, and a number of rounds were fought first in favour of ose, then of the other, each man showing severe punishment. After two hours Harrison had both peepers nearly closed, Harcourt his left, and his right not much better, yet the gameness of the men was such that they would not hear of being withdrawn. Har- rison, from want of sight, could not make much way, yet he managed to inflict someseverepunishraent on his opponent, who, game to the back- bone, received it well, and in return got so well home on Harrison, that after fighting 140 rounds iu two hours and thirty minutes, Harrison's friends gave in for him much against his will. Mr Tailby has handed the siakes to Harcourt. GILLINGHAM AND FEOME BOB.— We have had numerous letters this week on the subject of this match. A person calling himself the referee declares that he was appealed to by both umpires, and decided that Frome Bob struck his man foul, while Frome Bob's umpire declares, on the contrary, that there was no appeal at all, and no dispute between the umpires, and that the referee volunteered his decision, when there was not the slightest ground for it, merely because he was backing Gil- linshani. If the referee was duly appealed to, his decision, right or wrong, is final, but, if not, he had no right to give auy decision at all. It is impossible, however, for us to decide the question, and wo must leave it to be settled by thy friends of the men. We have many letters from persons with whom we are acquainted, representing it as a scandalous business on the part of Gillingham and his friends, aud from these we are induced to think that the siateinent of Frome Bob's umpire is the correct one, but, as we have said before, we cannot under- take to unravel the mystery. We have had more trouble and anxiety about TrUmpery country matches of late than would readily be believed, and unless we find them in future con- ducted in a more manly, straightforward way, we shall decline having any more to do with them. PABKINSON AND M'NULTY.— We have at length received the £ 6, making the whole of the money for this fight, and Parkin- sou wishes to meet M'Nulty at Mr Williams's, Spotted Leopard, Great Bridge, this ( Saturday) evening, to toss for choice of ground, and if possible name a day. If a day cannot be agreed upon, Parkinson has consented that we should fix one. This is a proposition which was also agreed to by M'Nulty, aud we therefore state at once that unless the meu can mutually agree we shall next week name a day within a mouth from Tuesday next for the affair to come off. NOBTHUMBEELAND BILL AND TOOLE.— Northumberland Bill has claimed forfeit ia this match, as Toole did not send his second deposit. Bill is anxious to have one more shy before leaving for Australia, and will fight Garrington or Tweddle, for £ 50 a side, or any man iu Newcastle at catch weight, and will give £ 5 for choice of ground. If the money in our hands is covered a match will be made. ROBERTS AND M'NULTY.— We have not received the second half of a note forwarded by Roberts for this match on the 24tli of July, and request it may be sent forthwith. Roberts lias this week written to consent to a draw, and requests that his money may be sent to lata at the Rose and Crown, Hill- street, Birming- ham. This shall be done at once, and Welsh's money shaii be sent when we receive his address.

The next deposit of £ 5 a side, must be forwarded before Friday. Hartley and Young Keefe are matched for £ 15 a side, and meet next Thursday evening at Spider's, Old King John, Holy- well- lane, to draw articles.

TOM PADDOCK'S BENEPIT.— We were glad on Friday to re- ceive a visit from poor Tom Paddock, who, thanks to his strong constitution, is able just to totter about. He was accompanied by Alec Keeue, and requested us to thank all those friends who have evinced an interest in his beka'. f. Tom was still in an ex- tremely weak state, but he expressed a hope yet to become " himself again." His benefit, as our readers know, is fixed to take place at Chaudos- street Rooms, on Monday, Sept 21, being the night before the fight with Caunt and Langham; and as all the cracks of the day have promised to set- to, there can be no doubt he wSl have a bumper. There are many promised sub- scriptions outstanding, which we should be glad to receive, and we need hardly say that Tom being quite without the means of support at present, will deem the smallest trifle very accept- able. We shall be glad to be the recipients of any contributions to the Paddock Fund. Tom is at present kindly looked after by Alec Keene, who has behaved like a brother to him ; but it must be remembered there is a limit to every purse, and Alec should not be allowed by his fraternity to do single handed, what every pugilist should be glad to assist in.

Stephenson COUNTIES OF SUSSEX AND SURREY v ENGLAND. AUG 10.— This return match was cemmenced at Brighton on Monday last, and, it will be seen, proved a one- sided affair. The weather was everything that a cricketer could desire. The ground was in most splendid order, indeed better wickets could not possibly have been secured, and what, therefore, can we say was the cause of England being disposed ef for the scores of 83 and 51 ? We can ouly attribute it to the bowling, which was really first- rate, and everything happened to come off right. We do not think, kowever, that England used good judgment in going in first— they should, as the ground was dead and fast im- proving, have put in their opponents. The Counties were just got out on Monday— Jackson, it will be seen, getting eight wickets. Mr Napper played a very fine innings indeed of 29, comprised of three fours ( a square leg- hit and two drives from Hinkly), two threes ( cut and a leg- hit), the remainder were singles. Mr Burbidge again exhibited his talent, scoriBg 19 in a most masterly manner, composed of a four ( drive from Kinkly) a three ( same), two twos, and singles. Caffyn made a leg- hit and a cut for fours. Stephenson gave a skyer— after playing for a good 14, composed of two threes, two twos, & c. Lockyer and Griffith ran the score from 85 to 115, when the latter was caught long- off; his figures were a four, two threes, two twos, & c. Bell was put on at Hinkly's end when Dean made his appearance— a change that was* needed long before, Lockyer brought out his bat, scoring 17 by a four ( drive from Hiukly), two threes, a two and singles. The weather was lovely throughout, and upwards of 2,000 must have been present. TUESDAY the weather was much the same as on the previous day, hut the match was over at two o'clock— England com- mencing their innings at twelve. An afternoon's play, however, was got up, the score of which we also give below. ENGLAND. lst inn 2d inn J. Grundy, b Griffith 2 c Lillywhite, b Griffi th.. 15 E. Stephenson, b Wisden 8 ' G.

GOLF.— GEAND NATIONAL TOUBNAMENT.— This match, which created so much excitement in Scotland, was played over St Andrew's Links, on the 29th, 30th, and 31st of last month. Eleven golf clubs sent each two of their picked members to compete lor the championship, the prize being a handsome silver cup, with golfing device, The clubs represented were Black- heath, Edinburgh, Burgess, Bruntsfield, Dirleton Castle, Leven, Musselburgh, Montrose, North Berwick, Perth, Prestwick, and St Andrews^ The match was 30 holes, extending over a distance of about eight miles. On the first day's play St Andrews beat Dirleton Castle by 10, Burgess beat Montrose by 12, Blackheath beat Perth by 8, Bruntsfield beat Prestwick by 3, and Leven beat Musselburgh by 2; North Berwick a bye. Second day— Blackheath beat Leven by 12, St Andrews beat North Berwick by 4, Bruntsfield and Burgess a tie. Third day— Blackheath beat Bruntbfield by 6, St Andrews beat Burgess by 3. The ex- citement at this point of the match was very great, Blackheath generally being the favourite; but the St Andrians were high in the hope that their representatives, Captain Stark Dougalf and Mr Thomson, would prove to be fully a match for the two Southrons; but that hope soon vanished, as the roast beef of Old England walked off with the first four holes, and St Andrews never saw them after. Blackheath, represented by Mr Glennie and Lieut Stewart, came in easy winners by seven holes, and carried the championship and cup to the neighbourhood of the great metropolis, to the no small delight of the members of the Royal Blackheath Golf Club, and the disappointment of their northern brethren. Messrs Glennie and Stewart played through- out with great coolness and judgment, and proved themselves ugly customers to encounter at the ancient game of golf. CRICKET AT CHARTERHOUSE. NORTH v SOUTH.

AUG 6, 7, AND 8.— In consequence of this being the first visit of the Eleven to Boston, great interest was manifested in the town and neighbourhood. The game would have been wit- nessed by some thousands of people had the weather been pro- pitious, but unfortunately the rain threw a damp on the proceedings. The ground is close to the town, and was given by Mr Hopkins for this occasion. A commodious pavilion was erected for the ladies, who, on the second day, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, assembled in large numbers. The wickets were good, but, owing to the rain, were very heavy. Play commenced the first day about three o'clock, the Twenty- two going in first and scoring 68. George Parr proved very de- structive, taking twelve wickets. When time was called Eng- land had scored 8 runs without the loss of a wicket. On Friday play could not commence until late. The Eleven's first innings amounted to 72, heading the Twenty- two by four runs. Diver made a very good innings of 29; Caesar was the ouly other double figure. H. Stephenson went in first wicket, and had to retire iu cousequence of having received a severe blow from the ball; his score amounted to ( not out) 8, The second innings of Boston commenced merrily, they having scored 56 for the loss of eight wickets, Crossland making a good innings of 32, and Mr Morley, the captain of the Marlborough Eleven, scoring 13. Saturday was again wet when play com- menced ; Parr and Jacksou bowled. The remaining 13 wickets fell for 13 runs. Jackson bowled beautifully ; but Parr's slows were again the re- ost destructive. The Eleven had sixty- six runs to make to win, which they accomplished with the loss of five wickets. Ctesar scored 16, by two threes, one two, and eight singles. E. Stephenson a good nine, T. Parr ( not out) 14, and H. Stephenson ( not out) five. The ground was so heavy that it took the batters a long time to mako any runs. The fielding generally of the Twenty- two was very good. Willsher, Tinley, and Bickley were to have played in this match, but a telegraphic despatch from the Ear! of Stamford arrived with an order for them to proceed at once to Manchester, and their places were filled up by M. Daft, E. Stephenson, and H. Parr. This makes ten matches the Eleven have played, eight of which they have won, one was drawn ( Loughborough), and one lost, the honour of winning which belongs to Sleaford.

THUESDAY, AUG 6.— The usual hospitable reception wag again given to this Eleven, on the above named day, when they entered the field at Luton agai- ast a team selected by Edmund Vyse, Esq. His side was not quite so strong as he intended, having to encounter several " urgencies" at the last moment; it was, however, thought by the United, quite strong enough for them to contend against, but at the sametime gentlemen making appointments on such ail important event as this, should manage to fulfil them or acquaint the manager of the match of the fact earlier. Much time aud trouble had been bestowed upon the ground, it being prepared solely for this occasion. Canvas was used all round, and numerous tents, booths, & c, were erected f6r the accommodation of the public. The weather was showry, but notwithstanding a large company assembled. The Eleven won the toss, but put the Twenty- two in first, ail arrangement made very judiciously— the ground being very dead with some likeli- hood of its improving. Mr Chalkley played an excellent innings of 10, composed of a legjhit from Grundy for three, as well as a drive and cut from Caffyn, for twos, & e. Mr A. H. Walker saw six wickets go before him, when he had to succumb to Caffyn— having played a masterly innings of 15, made by six twos and singles. Caffyn and Griffith were bowling admirably, and it was evident that few runs only were on the card. Mr C. D. Marsham was beautifully caught with one hand by Mr Miller at cover- point; he was playing splendidly uutil this stopped his career; his figures were three threes ( one a good leg- hit and a drive), two twos, & c. No other stand was made, and shortly before six o'clock the Twenty- two were out for the small score of 64. The wickets fell as follows :— one for 0, two for 12, three for 18, four for 19, five and six for 20, seven for 31, eight and nine for 32,10 for 41,11 for 46, 12 for 47, 13 for 52,15 for 55, 16 for 58,17 for 59,18 and 19 for 63. The Eleven then went in, and when time was called three wickets had been disposed of for 36 runs, Mr Burbidge playing a beau- tiful and steady innings of 15, made by three twos and singles. Caffyn was cleverly ruu out. ON FEIDAY John Lillywhite joined Grundy, but the latter did not alter his score from the previous evening, being out leg before wicket; his well- played innings of 18 comprised six twos and singles. The bowlers who started at first were Messrs V. E. Walker and C. D. Mars'aatn, but they were changed for the professionals Hinkly and Nixon, who did all the mischief, getting the remaining seven wickets ( bar Bell, absent) for seventeen runs; they were immensely difficult to play. At this period the match excited a great deal of interest, as con- siderable amount of money was dependent upon the result Bell, it will be seen, was absent, not arriving on the ground thinking there would be plenty of time before his services wer likely to be required. We were glad to hear, however, that th United Eleven have a code of rules, whereby such negligenc and want of attention is subject to a fine. The Twenty- two the next inBings were sent back for 70, Hughes being the onl one who made a double figure, ill which he saw nine wickets go before him. He played the very fine bowlisg of Griffith and Wisden remarkably well. The fielding was splendid, especially that of Mr Miller. Mr John Walker made a long stand for 7, when a breaker disposed of him. Mr Meux Smith, an ex- cellent supporter of the game, made a capital drive from Caffyn for three, but had afterwards to give way to another breaker from Caffyn, who was put on at Wisden's end at the latter part of the innings. Griffiths and Grundy were got out over night, and Wright and Caffyn were in when the stumps were drawn- total, two wickets for 11 runs. SATUEDAY.— Great excitement prevailed about the result, it being well known by those who are judges, that the ground was verv difficult to play upen, and when we state, that from twelve to three o'clock, only 37 runs were got, the fact will speak for itself, averaging, as it does, only a trifle over 12 an hour ! Wright played a" lucky iuuings of 17, made up by a three, four twos, & c. Caffyn was beautifully stumped by Mr John Walker, who kept wicket admirably throughout. The steadiness of Mr Burbidge and Lill. vwhite, and nothing else, pulled off the victory for the United. Had they played a fast game, catches would have been sure to follow. Mr Burbidge's figures were two twos and singles; he was caught long- on from the slows, which had been put on at Nixon's end. Lillywhite brought out his bat for 24, playing, likd Mr Burbidge, in a most praiseworthy and steady manner; his figures were three threes, a two and singles. Mr Miller had to go in to assist in rubbing off the re- quired number ; he made a very hard square leg- hit from the slows for four, and Lillywhite made a drive for three, which was the winning hit. The United thus won this interesting and ex- citing contest by £ ve wickets. The Eleven were most hospitably entertained on Friday evening— a dinner being given them, pre- sided over by E. W. Vyse and Meux Smith, Esqs. Fireworks took place on each eveniwg. Altogether, the Lutonians and the neighbourhood have to thank their liberal supporter, Mr Vyse, and the enterprising spirit of Messrs Puddephatt and Scarbo- rough, of the Shoulder of Mutton and the Bell Hotels.

Letters addressed to C. Laurence, 53, Manor- street, Dublin, will be immediately attended to. The BEDFORD AMATEURS will be happy to play the Richmond Juniors a home- and- home match, aud will also be happy to receive challenges from amy amateur club within fifteen miles of London. Address A. Haselden, 18, King- street, Northampton- square, B. C. CRICKET AT CONSTANTINOPLE.— The English have established a cricket club at Baltalimaii, on the Bosphorus, the ground for which Ali Ghalib Pasha has kindly granted the use of. Two or three pashas have become members, but have not yet played. The exercise is not likely to have attractions for men of their habits. Very gocd fields meet each Saturday. Numbers of Turks watch the play, but can't see the drift of it. There is to be a racing meeting early in August, and a good stake to be run for, but the horsts are not to be handicapped, and not much sport is likely to result. DEAN'S BENEFIT.— The gentleman's name who sent us the guinea for Deau is Pinhorn, not, as we stated, Pimborn. Many matches stand over, for want of space, which will be given in a supplement next W! ek. AN APPEAL TO CRICKETERS, fee. LILLYWHITE'S COLLECTION OF SCORES FROM 1746, IN PRE- PARATION.— The compiler of this projected work would feel particularly obliged if secretaries of clubs or other gentlemen would communicate with him, in order to assist in obtaining information relating to the game, such as the " alteration of the laws, and size of stumps, from time to time," & c, & c. The loan of score- books, or notices of any remarkable events that have occurred in the game, will also be thankfully received and imme- diately acknowledged. All communications will receive instant attention, and the comniler trusts that this appeal for the pur- pose of publishing a " complete history" of the noble game will not be in vain. Bell's Life in London, from its first number, as well as the Marylebone Club books ( by authority of the com- mittee), have been carefully searched, and many important and interesting events abstracted; numerous other reprint and manuscript copies have also been examined, which fully prove that many other good matches were played years back, and he hopes the scores of them are still obtainable.

This match was played at Bury St Edmunds, on Thursday, the 23d ult. The ground was somewhat rough, which accounts for the smallness of the scores. The Royston were considerably weakened by the absence of several of their men; nevertheless the game was a very even one, the Bury eventually winning by three wickets. Messrs Evans, Perkins, Phillips, and Shepherd, were the chief contributors on the Royston side; while Messrs Parker aad Bocock did good service for the Bury. Score : ROYSTON. 1st inn 2d inn E.

ATHERSTONE v LICHFIELD. On the 1st inst a match was played on the Atherstone Ground between the above clubs, which resulted in favour of the former in one innings, by a majority of 16 runs. This being the first match played on this ground since the revival of the club, we expected to have seen a much larger attendance of spectators, and those who have witnessed matches on this ground twenty years since could not but remark the extreme apathy which characterised the proceedings. The ground, we regret to state, was in wretched condition; even the space between the wickets was anything but true, and a really fine off- cut was admirably cut short by a superfluity of very rich herbage, which made even a hit for three a rare occurrence.

THE CHASE. THE RETIREMENT OP MR J. J. FARQUHARSON. We last we9k briefly notified this unpleasant announcement to the hunting world of Dorsetshire, where Mr Farquharson has hunted the county at his own expense for upwards of half a century. We give " The Squire's" own version of the cause of his retirement, as explained in a speech recently delivered by him at the annual sale and letting of Southdown sheep at Higher Waterson Farm, near Dorchester. In returning thanks for the drinking of bis health, Mr Far- quharson said: I rise to thauk you for the honour you have done me en this occasion, as perhaps you will in the sequel find, with more difficulty than I have done on previous occasions. Now, I know that time is very precious, and perhaps I ought not on an occasion of this sort to enter into any subject tkat is not immediately connected with the business of the day; but I am sure, when I look around and see so many friends present, they wiil excuse me for what I am going to say, in taking this oppor- tunity of explaining myself to them [ hear, hear]. My kind friend, Sir Edward Baker, has been good enough to couple my name with foxhunting. Now, gentlemen, you must not be surprised at what I am going to say. You have all no doubt heard that there has been lately pending between myself and some other gentleman a matter whioh materially concerned the interest of foxhunting in the county of Dorset. Ill the early part of May I received a letter from Mr Digby, of the Castle, Sherborne, proposing to me to give up a portion of the vale couutry to the Blackmoor Vale Hounds. I replied to Mr Digby that, having received the country as an entire country, it was my duty, as a master of foxhounds, to eiideavour to keep that couutry entire, and not to divide or dispose of it [ hear, hear]. 1 told Mr Digby— who in his letter said he was not satisfied with hunting three months in the year, but wanted six— I said if you will preserve the foxes I will under- take to hunt your country as often as you show me a fox [ hear, hear, aud applause]. Well, this did not satisfy Mr Digby, and another letter came from him, and I replied iu the same terms, that the country had been given to ine, aud I had no right to dispose of it [ hear, hear]. Then, gentlemen, came a requisition from the Vale of Blackmoor Hunt, which requisition I have got iu my pocket, and if you wish I will read it, and the names at the end of it [ cries of Show it upj. Well, I will read it to you ; it is a printed document :— " To J. J. FARQUHARSON, ESQ. *' We, the undersigned, members of the Blackmore Vale Hunt, beg leave very respectfully to direct your attention to the fact that a general desire is very widely entertained aud expressed that some accommodation may be afforded to us, and > our own immediate followers as well, ( Mr Farquharson : I don't know who they are) by conceding to the Master of the B. V. Foxhounds permission to draw the undermentioned covers, which are within the precincts of your extensive bunt, viz, 1, the Caundle Hilt Woods, and the covers adjoining; 2, Honeycombe and Whitfield ; 3, Sherborne Park Covers ; 4, the Holnest aud But- terwick Covers, by conceding which you will be entitled to our united thanks. ( Mr Farquharson: Mr Digby at first wanted more than that.) We venture to say that, by extending to us permission to draw these covers, you yourself would only lose six days' hunting per annum on the average, especially be- cause theHolnest Covers have not been drawn by you for t welve or thirteen years past, in which last- named covers we also know that, in consequence of their not being hunted, a very consider- able number of foxes per annum are now destroyed; and we further believe that, by the preservation of foxes at Holnestand Butterwick, your owu sport and the sport of your numerous fol- lowers would be greatly promoted by the increased number of foxes which you would find in your own adjoining covers. " Hoping that a favourable reply will be kindly granted by you, and assuring you that you will in that case receive our sincere and united thanks, we subscribe ourselves— Dated 13th May, 1857. " PORTMAN ( a proprietor of covers in the B. V. H.) returned to the haunts of the red deer on Ex moor. You have now every prospect of a capital season with the present pack. Take an old bachelor's advice ; don't allow Mrs or Miss to spoil a day's stag hunting, but back your own ideas, and, if vou- UN share our sport, you may find us like my eighty- years- old fr.^ — half- learnt, but as ' fare fore" as our betters.— Yours, & c, WLLDBOY. The Davon and Somerset Staghounds meet os Tuesday next at Simonsbath, and on Friday, at Culbone, at half- past ten. MANCHESTER CHESS FESTIVAL. This meeting was hardly so numerously attended as we ex pected, and, as usual, the chess play hardly so good as we should have had from the same players, perhaps, in ordinary contests. The dinner was attended by from fifty to sixty. We own we looked for a larger gathering, but so it was. Harrwitz gave a splendid example of a blindfold chessplayer, winning the game against a very skilful opponent. The match in which sixteen competitors entered was well won by the Rev W. Owen, a player of high promise. The match of eight players was not concluded when our informant left, but we believe the only sur- vivors were Lowenthal and Mr Boaden, who were battling it out together. A consultation game was played by three foreigners, Messrs Anderssen, Kling, and Horwitz, against three Englishmen, Messrs Staunton, Kipping, and Boaden. This game was partly spoilt by one of the German players moving a piece without the sanction of his partners, who were obliged to stand to this volatile ebullition of genius, which cost them loss of exchange; that leaving them with two surplus pawns. By another mode of play the Germans considered they could have secured the better position. The length of time allowed for the moves was ( injudiciously) unlimited, and then the game dragged its slow and dreary length along for two mortal days, the po- sitions, however, being of intense difficulty, in all eighteen hours' sitting. On the morning of the third day Anderssen re- fused continuing the contest, and thus England came off victors. This was a denouement much to be regretted, as even at last German position is fully as good as English. In a consultation game no move should occupy more than twenty minutes' time. We believe the only players from the London Club present were Mr Brien and Mr George Medley, who well maintained the honour of their flag. We are favoured with the best games played. Andersseu is now in London, playing against all oppo- nents with varying fortunes, We fancy he is hardly up to the mark he was when he last visited England.

The success of this first attempt to establish a race meeting in this wealthy neighbourhood was beyond anythiug that could possibly have been anticipated. Two of our well- known Turf celebrities from St Omer and Abbeville having come to the as- sistance of the management at Valenciennes, the programme was made out, subscriptions poured in to overflow, some ground was found and set into order, and within a few weeks of the first announcement we find large entries, most complimentary ac- ceptances for the handicaps, and the whole neighbourhood for miles around assembled upon the course at the appointed time. The first day's concourse was immense, but upon the second— a Sunday— such a crowd made its appearance as never was seen on any race- course in France, with the exception of the Champ de- Mars, perhaps. We did not obtain an account of the actual number of foot persons, horsemen, and occupiers of the stands and carriages, but it is supposed there were at least 60,000, and, although the course is about one mile and a quarter round, there was not a yard of the line on either side unoccu- pied several deep— the scene during the steeple chase being nimatiBgi n the extreme from the more or less distant roar to be heard as the horses approached the different fences at which were assembled in masses the crowds who could not obtain a view of the " run in" and brook before the Stands. In the interior of the course, in the meantime, during each race, were got up most desperate private races, quite charges of irregular cavalry, composed of the military and mounted civilians, who, desirous of seeing as much as pos- sible, followed the running horses by intercepting . them at various angles or at the fences— which Bashi- Bazouk manoeu- vres produced the greatest consternation amongst the pedes- trians, and, by the bye, some danger to the jockeys, from the incapacity of those hard riders to pull up their horses within the limits required. Where success is so evident, and where future prospects are so encouraging, fault- finding is out of the question, and it is almost superfluous to remark— considering the capacity of the stewards— that the course selected is not worthy their exertions, It is too far from the town ef Valen- ciennes, which is the chief objection, but if another course can- not be obtained nearer, it will do very well after another season, when it becomes to be properly grazed by sheep and here and there levelled. A greater width must be allowed between the ropes, and longer " wings" on each side of the fences should be put up, and the stiff timber before coming to the brook should also have somewhat less of the tree and more of the true " post and rail" character ; in fact, we know such suggestions are only to be hinted at to be attended to— a little more consideration in the wording of the articles relative to penalties for winning and the qualiflcatiou for gentlemen riders, so as to avoid cause for dispute, and we doubt not that next year, with its iucreased resources, will place Valenciennes at the head of all the northern race meetings of France. The two handicaps were carried off by the top weight, Dame d'Honneur, both, by the bye, producing a wrangie— in the first instance on account of a charge of crossing, and in the second for not carrying the extra weight for winning; neither objection, however, was allowed, although in the second handicap the mare, it is evident, did not carry the correct weight. The Steeple Chase and Hurdle Race unfortunately did not pro- duce contests, on account of all the horses either falling or refusing, with the exception of those of the De la Motte confederacy, who came in " alone in their glory" in each race. Some trotting races of course were undergone on the first day ; and a wonderful exhibition of some Belgian Lancers over hurdles MOULINS RACES.

DEATH OF LIEUTENANT WILLOUGHBY.— We regret ex- tremely to say that news has been received from Meerut of the death of the gallant Willoughby, the result of the frightful in- juries he received when he blew up the Delhi magazine, THE ATLANTIC CABLE.— The Agamemnon, Majara, andSus- quehanna have arrived at Plymouth from the west coast of Ire- land, on their return from the unsuccessful attempt to lay the cable. On board the Niagara they report that at the time of the severance, a quarter to four o'clock on Tuesday morning, 335 nautical or about 380 statute miles had been laid, at a distance of 260 to 280 miles iu a direct course from Valentia. The wind was southerly, there was some sea, and the ship was going from three to four knots, aud the cable paying out five to six, and sometimes seven knots. As the quantity of slack thus ex- pended was greater than expected at starting, and more than could be afforded, the retard strain was therefore in- creased to a pressure of 3,000 pounds, and the cable broke. The extra expenditure of slack commenced on Monday evening, when a strong breeze and heavy swell prevailed, aud a powerful undercurrent was experienced. This current forced the wire from the ship at a considerable angle. When the break was applied with increased power, the stern of the Niagara wss down in the trough of a sea, aud the extra strain created by her rising was the immediate cause of the cable's parting. The general opinion is, that the season is too far advanced for ano- ther effort now, but every confidence is expressed in the ultimate success of the undertaking. VIOLENT STORMS.— During the last few days there has been a succession of violent thunder- storms throughout the country, which have done incalculable damage to the crops in various places. At Lincoln the rain was so heavy that tke main street appeared like a river, and on Friday, in the marshy districts, the sheaves of corn might be seen floating on the water. The traffic on the Midland Railway was stopped between Fisherton and Southwell, part of the line having been washed away. On the Great Northern, between Newark and Retford, the traffic was also stopped, the line having been injured by the flood. On this line a passenger train got off the rails, and several passengers were injured. Fortunately, however, there was no fatality. The storm in London on Friday afternoon was terrific. In the immediate neighbourhood of Farringdon- street and Holborn Bridge, as well as on the Surrey side of the river, near the Thames, the damage done is at present incal- culable ; to give anything like a detailed account would be im- possible. To take Farringdou- street, for instance, in less than ten minutes after the hail and rain began to fall, the whole of that wide thoroughfare became covered with water to a great depth, which, rising over the kerb, in many places rushed down the gratings iato the kitchens, where it rose to a height of two, three, and in some cases five feet. So great was the rush of water down the sewers, that in several places they overflowed, and the parties living near had their basements filled with the sewage matter. THE BROADSTONE MURDER,— The trial of James Spollen for the murder of Mr Little, at the Broadstone Railway terminus, Dublin, was brought to a conclusion on Tuesday., The faots of the case must be familiar to all our readers. It will be remem- bered that the prisoner was apprehended at the instance of his wife, and that the principal witnesses against him were his own children. It is impossible for us to attempt to give even a sum- mary of the proceedings on the trial. We must content our- selves by saying that after an elaborate and impartial charge from the Chief Justice, occupying four hours, the jury retired, and after an absence of an hour " and a half, returned into court with a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner on the entrance of the jury had stood up from his seat in the dock and leaned for- ward on the bar, manifestly endeavouring to maintain his self- possession. Immediately on hearing the finding he sank into the arms of the gaolers in a half fainting condition. His necktie was loosened by those about him, and his face and head were bathed with water. While in this state he audibly uttered the words, " My children!" On recovering, he commenced an address to the court, which lasted some few minutes, in which he affirmed the justice of the verdict, and returned his thanks to the press for its impartiality, and to his learned counsel, Mr Curran, for his untiring energy. He was removed privately from the court, and discharged in such a way as not to mingle with the crowd outside the court, who hailed his acquittal with shouts of applause and cheering. THE ALLEGED SUICIDE OF EMILY SANDFOBD,— Mr Postle, of Yelverton, Norfolk, writes to the morning papers to contra- dict the statement copied from the Ballast Star respecting the suicide of Emily Sandford. Mr Postle says—" Miss Sandford was undoubtedly ' enabled by the contributions of the charitable to seek a home in Australia' in 1849, and has ever since con- ducted herself with the greatest propriety. She married at Adelaide, and has a numerous family, and returned with her husband to Europe, a man of high respectability." requisition to a gentleman, the parties sign their names ; this is a copy. ( Mr Pope:" Is that all in print?") No; the names were not in print: this was an office copy sent by Mr Messiter. Mr Messiter wrote to me enclosing this, saying he was desired to send it to me. I wrote to Mr Messiter as follows :— " Langtou, July 21,1857. " SIR: I beg to acknowledge tho receipt of your letter which reached me yesterday, containing a requisition from members of the Blackmoor Vale Hunt. I am sorry to be obliged to say that I cannot comply with their wishes, and I shall be mucu obliged to you to convey this reply to them.— I am, sir, yours very truly, " J. J. FARQUHARSON. " Henry Messiter, Esq," Now, gentlemen, I have read the names; you know how many reside in the county of Dorset. I believe they are confined to three— Lord Portman, the Hon Mr Portman, and Mr St Lo. 1 will not conceal anything from you. Previous to that I received a letter from Sir John Smith, urging me to consider the proposal to give up this country. I wrote, thanking him, aud told him that, when I received the requisition, it would get the same answer I gave Mr Digby— that I should not grant it. Sir John said in his letter that, in these times of movement, great chauges must be made. I replied: " Sir John, these changes must not be made, aud will not bs made by mo" [ hear, hear]. Now 1 come to what it is painful for me to express to you, aud what I think you will receive with as great paiu as I give it. Being placed in this position, I cau do nothing else, because I do feel this— that, if one man takes one thing, another man may take another ; and the more you give, the more they expect. Yester- day I received a letter from Mr Digby, in which he says he must request me not to draw his covers. I have written to- day to my excellent, my stanch, my consistent and honourable friend, the Right Hon Lord llchester, who lias supported me and been kind to me on all occasions ; and I have written to him— I felt it my duty that he should be the first person to know my intention— I wrote to him to tell him that with this season I close my career with the foxhounds. ( General expressions of regret, aud excla- mations tliat- the party hoped his decision was not final.) Tbe Chairman proceeded: It is done; it is decided. I am a man that, when I make up my mind, I do not alter it. I am willing to do anything I can for the county of Dorset, but, having made up my mind, 1 cannot alter it. I say this, that I only hope and trust, whoever does succeed me, wiil be actuated as little by selfish motives as I have been, and that he wdl endeavour to give you as good sport and amusement as I have for the last fifty years. The affair, it need scarcely be added, has created a strong feel- ing in the county, aud it is yet hoped that Mr Farquharson may- be prevailed upon to " reverse his decision." SPORTING PROSPECTS IN NORTH DEVON- REMI- NISCENCE OP THE PAbT. " ' Tis wiser far to hunt the fields for health untaught Than fee the doctor for his nauseous draught." MR EDITOR : The doctor, I calculate, will hold on as long as the wild red deer roam on their native hills. It is said he was born with them. Be that as it may, he lives with them and must die with them. " We have only just a moment t © admire his malioganys ( said to be older than himself), inquire the whereabouts of the best stags, and ask him to pioneer us to the first meet of the Devon and Somerset Staghounds at Simons- bath on Tuesday next. The deer ( thanks to Mr Knight) are reported to be " fit to go," the hounds are a strong pack, and the earliest summer we have had for years is considerably advanced ; in a word, all things tend to a first- rate season, and if your nags are fit, send them on the moor at once, with orders to your servant to have them taught the " knack" of going through " dairt." Although we cannot boast of our race meetings, we are more fortunate in our " hunts." The stag- hounds head the list, recruited with several additions from Mr Fronde Bellew's larger drafts. It is fortunate we are not all of one mind as regards hounds. The slashing 26- inch stag- hound is a magnificent specimen of the genus, and in a race with a four- year- old deer over Exmooor can beat the noble Talbot out of time. Deer cannot distress the big hound iu thick cover as easily as Master Reynard can, but across our heath and rough ground the stride of the staghound must " tell" against the " hop- and- go- one" style of the turnspit. Never- theless, would you credit the opinion of our keenest west countrymen ( who never believe more than one half of what they see, to whom theory is as. logic), | they; will tell you there is nothing so killing in our woodlands as the quick and ever driving 22- inch bitch pack; and if they have a dash of the white B in their veins, they are nothing the worse for the mixture. Thanks to our patrons of the noble science, thfre are plenty of foxes; and with Mr Bellew " At ' em again" on the Tiverton side, and Mr Bampfylde's maiden pack at North Molton, poor Pug seems likely to have a warm hearth ere the year comes round again. I wish them their full share of " good things," as I know their intentious are equally sanguine. They both had superlatively clever models in their predecessors. Few M. F.' s excel the ex- master of the N. D. H. in head- piece, cheer, or popularity ; although no grandfather of mine ( I respect the blood, aud wish it had been bred from more extensively), he was a most " wonderful man" with hounds. John Beale, had he married the silent woman, would have pro- duced the best hare hunter extant; as a foxhunter he was per- haps " a pace" too slow; patience and perseverance were his mottos, patience his favourite maxim. Mark you, he was never idle ; from the moment his fox was found his head was at work. Where's he going ? was the philosopher's query; he would always back his own opinion, and beat three- fourths of the knowing ones by his extraordinary lucky casting; he knew what he knew, but you never knew him account for his whirligig axioms. They must both long live ( and I trust continue to hunt) in the memory of those whe were fortunate enough to enjoy foxhunting under their reign. Alas! we have no such men or lungs; the " Look for him! now!!!" of the first, still rings down the Bray— the " Yoi Bar- r- rister" of the last will outlive man and hound. But if Nerth Devon caii boast of her fox hunters, she may be equally proud of her stag hunters ( fair readers, the terms are not synonymous), and proud enough the latter are to recall their wonders with the old stags. A specimen of the old school ( this run is fact) told me for the first time some few hours since, on meeting him ( an aged hero) with two hound puppies in a donkey cart near Honiton—" You've a smart couple there ; whose are they ?"—" Why, the Squire's." " Do you hunt with them, my friend ?"—" Ay, ay, that I does,' tis all I care about, Georgey ( hisjackass) and me run scores of miles after ' em; but, I had a mare once, a good ' un she was, and could ' clean' the whole lot in a stag chase." " Drink ' Prosperity toStag hunting,' old boy." He was off his box like a cricket, polished his grog, and returned to his old black mare. " One day I rode her through ten pa- rishes, with the old Squire ( Lucas), and I keep'd her till her was past everything. ' Twas up in Harford Wood, we found thick stag ( a better edition of this run, with data, & c, may probably be found in Collyn's Gossip, if you can get it, but I have not time to refer to author or work), the Squire laid on the pack, and we went firsrt to Four Chimneys, over Breunou Hill, to Huisb, Maundown, and into Webber's tan- yard, which is ago now. I've a past there scores of times, and the stag he was in the pits and out again, on to Milverton, over Langford Heath- field, and past the Red and White Balls ( this was after dark), but the Squire seemed he would ha' iin, but he was a sight before us, and got int- y Mr Sanford's shrubbery, a cruel large place, 100 acres they said, where the Squire stap'd the dogs, and put ' em into the White Ball. There was a sight of beer drank, and two poor horses died, but the old black mare and me corned home to Oakford ( twenty miles). Us was agwaying up again next morning to ha' another turn with ' im; but afore we corned up, a fellow called C—— ( they called ' im a gentleman), took out his harehounds afore ' twas light, and took the stag where he lied; ' twas most poachiug- like, and makes a man look " little." So the squire lost his stag, and me and the old mare our sport, for I loike to see the end of't. Your honour knows Heightley ; ' tis scores of deer I've took out of thick pit and Cool Pool, and sometimes out of Bolliam Wear, in tho old staghounds' time. " Be there any stags now ?" " Yes," says I, " plenty of them, and stag- hunters too." Ay, your honour, if I could live eighty years more, I should know summut about hunting." With a cheer I swore he was right; before we are half learnt we are under orders to be off. Carpe diem !! Bring down two horses, your spurs and purse, and have a little hunting on the quiet. Don't make a fool of yourself in a town this warm weather. Whatever ailment you have, Exmcor will cure you, aud if you don't hap- pen to be in love I think you may enjoy the pleasant sunshine; but, " when love once enters the youthful brain" it is an awk- ward business indeed, and if you plead guilty don't come to Exmoor, but go to Ireland— you'll get a deal of the sweet thing there, I was nearly whoop'd myself by an Irish gal last winter, and perchance she might have done the trick, but she made the pace so good throughout our short course of acquaintance thai 1 was shut up before I had time to lay bold of my head, take a pull at thought, and settle how I possibly could accommodate one so provokingly fast.
