THE BASINGSTOKE KREWEKY.— Very important Sale of the Basingstoke Brewery, with 95 Inns and Public- houses attached; also a Freehold Furip. of 52 acres, the whole in one lot. MR RICHARD MOSS has been favoured with instructions from the devisees in trust, acting under the will of the late Charles May, Esq. to SELL, by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Auction Mart, in London, on Monday, 19th October next, at 12, in one lot, all that very valuable and important property, comprising the BASINGSTOKE BREWERY, in the couuty of Hants, with the Inns and publio- houses attached thereto. It is an old family property, having been in possession of thepresentowners and their ancestors for upwards of a century, and is now offered for sale solely in consequence of the desire of the trustees to wind up their trust. The business is one of high standing in the county, and has been conducted with eminent success'; it is now is a most thriving and prosperous condition. The trade is gradually on the increase, and amounted during the la3t twelve months to upwards of 10,600 barrels ( one- third of which was strong ale), with ample scope for increasing it to any reasonable extent. There is also a fine opening for the addition of the spirit trade, which it is estimated would amount to between 7,000 and 8,000 gallons per annum. Basingsteke is situate in a beautiful part of the country, within 50 miles, or about an hour and a half of London by the South Western Railway. The property comprises the brewery, with malt- houses, and extensive and commodious premises, em- bracing every requisite for carrying on the trade, situate close to the rail- way, in the town of Basingstoke. Also twocapital residences, suitable for the occupation of the principals. The whole of the buildings are of the most substantial character, and in excellent repair. The brewery is fitted up with a 28- quarter- plant, constructed upon the most modern principle, combining all the recent improvements, worked by a steam- engine and including store vats, to contain about 1,500 barrels. There are 64 free hold, copyhold, and leasehold inns ana public- houses attached to the concern, together with numerous cottages, land, and other property, by far the larger portion of which is of freehold tenure; and also about 30 free public- houses, supplied from the brewery.

The houses for the most part are in excellent recair, large sums having been annually expended in maintaining them in the most efficient state. They are let to a respectable and responsible tenantrv, at old low rentals, which would justify considerably augmenting. At the same time will be sold Two very valuable Public- houses, with building land, situate immediately opposite the principal entrance to the permanent barracks at the military camp at Aldershott, of which further particu- lars will appear in future advertisements. Also will be included in the sale, a Freehold Farm, of about 52 acres of highly productive pasture and arable land, with farm- house and buildings. The purchaser will have the option of taking a lease of a farm of 170 acres immediately adjoining, and the transfer of the tenancy of about 112 acres, making in the whole 335 acres. To gentlemen of capital this property offers unusual advantages for investment, the character of the business re- ducing to a certainty the average return of a fair aniouut of profit for the capital invested, and seeuriifg to the proprietor considerable local influence, which invariably attaches to a property of this detcription. The trustees are prepared to ieave one- third of the purchase- money upon mortgage of the property if required.

Facts elucidated and applied are seldom forgotten. On these principles E. MOSES and SON refer to business facts for their pre- eminence, and mention other facts of the mast prac- tical application. The fact of E. Moses and Son being the largest merchant and manu- facturing TAILORS and CLOTHIERS in the world is universally ad- mitted. The fact of their spring and summer business being more extensive than on any previous season gives them cause for fresh expressions of gratitude to their friends, patrons, and the public, and further develops their matchless energy in the production of novelties in the dress of all classes. The fact of E. Moses and Son employing the best talent in Europe for each department of DRESS is connected with another fact, their attire is the most gentlemanly in materials and styles, the best fitting, and the most comfortable wearing dress which can be obtained. These are facts for sportsmen, tourists, busin'ssmen, and all others, FURTHER SUBSTANTIATED. The fact of E, Moses and Son taking the lead in every class of attire for ladies, gentlemen, and children receives additional illustration from their preparations for the autumnal season, their buyers having been remarkably successful in their visits to the numerous markets and manufactories of England and the Continent, The earliest and most fashionable displays of novel materials and styles for autumn will be at E. Moses and Son's establishment and its branches. The fact of the prices being moderate, and the articles very superior, every one is specially requested to test.

Government and a Christian population.' A prophecy which assigns 100 years for its own fulfilment will scarcely excite any immediate uneasiness among the natives. The official notifica- tion will add a meaning to passages which might never have at- tracted notice; and the censure will seem to have been called forth rather by an imprudent avowal of the truth than by a mis- representation of the intentions of the Government. English func- tionaries are naturally awkward in dealing with the novelty of a censorship, but the present crisis will admit of no error in judgment." We desire not to add anything to the severity of this last sen- tence. It is all the more severe, because the writer plainly in- tended to do his best to make out a case for the Government, actually beginning the article with the declaration that " in a crisis like the present a Government can scarcely be armed with excessive powers." The force of this sweeping declaration is shattered by the subsequent avowal that the first exercise of them has been " highly questionable;" and it may further be observed that the value of these powers, if ever so well exercised, must be estimated as of the smallest possible amount, since the press of England cannot be subjected to censorship. The Bng- lish papers are sure to publish their strictures on the Govern- ment with perfect freedom, and may possibly not be quite so capable of exercising a sound and safe discretion in the use of their freedom as would have been exercised by that Indian press which the Government may, for a time, annoy, but happily cannot long silence. THE ARMY.— FRANCE. No one doubts that if we will insist on holding extensive terri- tories in India, where we cannot plant colonies and introduce our own laws, and do, as a nation, what a private man does when he settles his sons in the world, we must hare a large army there to hold those territories in subjection. How that army is to be recruited, drilled, commanded, and paid, must now become matter for serious consideration, but in the meantime it is as well to protest against the admission of certain state- ments with which our Ministerial contemporary The Times introduces the preposition for a large increase of our military force. The Times says that every three orfour years wedetermine that we must increase our army, and then, the threatening danger having passed away, we hesitate to carry the determination into effect. It adds :— " In 1854 a war did break out, and then, of course, we imme- diately wished that we had a good army ; but we had not got one, and we had trouble enough to make one. In 1848 we were in alarm. Europe was convulsed from one end to the other. Our neighbours across the Channel had a new government, which we did not know what to think of. No one could tell what might happeD, and then we wished we had a good army. In 1844, though, as Lord Ellenborough says, both countries were presided over by the most peaceful governments— though France had Guizot for its Prime Minister, and England Sir Robert Peel—' a miserable island in the Pacific' in a moment upset the balance, and threatened to set us together by the ears ; and then, too, we wished we had a good army." In these sentences there is curious confusion of dates and facts. In 1854 we had got a good army— a finer or more thoroughly disciplined army never entered the field— it was the creation of years of peace, and was composed, so far as the sol- diers were concerned, of picked men. It was through utter in- capacity and mismanagement allowed to perish. But we had had it. In 1848 we were not " in alarm." We had been so in 1847, while the knavish Louis Philippe was on the throne of France, and the treacherous Guizot was his Minister, and an act was passed to " render effective the services of Greenwich and Chelsea pensioners," but from the moment of the revolution of February all fears of an invasion from France ceased, and the people of the two countries began to visit each other in organised bodies; and the difference between our behaviour in the two epochs was thoroughly justified by past experience, for it was precisely about that " miserable island in the Pacific" that Louis Philippe and the Calvanistic Protestant Guizot had nearly occa- sioned a war between the two countries, the real cause of con- tention being nothing more^ than their desire to gratify, at any price, the bigotry of the Queen of the French, who was scan- dalised at seeing Protestant missionaries in possession of Tahiti, and who desired that Jesuits should be there in their stead. In 1848 we had no fears of such disgraceful treachery and mean ill- will, but France and England were united, as we long hope they will continue to be. By the way, we must here refer to our Foreign Intelligence, where, under the head of " Prance," will be found the state- ment that an application is to be made to our Government for the surrender of Ledru Rollin, as a consequence of that discredit- able farce which was exacted the other day before the Imperial Court of Paris, on the trial of the pretended conspirators. If the opinion attributed to Lord Cowley is correctly represented, we can only say that it is a pity he who knows nothing about law should ever express an opinion upon it, and that he is not saved from any pretence for doing so by the presence of a com- petent and upright lawyer at the Embassy. But whether he has expressed this foolish opinion or not makes no difference. There is no English law any more than there is English feeling but what would be outraged by the surrender of Ledru Rollin.

This bill appears likely to pass into an act. It will undoubt. edly be a great baon to some persons, to those who are under the necessity of resorting to the ultimate remedy of a divorce, but the price at which the public will have to purchase that boon is certainly beyond its value. Where a divorce was required the fact that it must be obtained through that most costly process, an act of Parliament, was a positive wrong. This bill proposes to remove that wrong, and in so far it will con- fer a benefit on the public. But it proceeds much farther. It will oonfer a boon on a hundred people at the cost of new and needless evils to many more. In the state of confusion in which the numerous " amendments" have left the bill at this moment, it would be imprudent to pretend to pass a deci- sive judgment on its details. But there are certain rules which it admits, and will enforce, that do not leave any room for hesi- tation. Thus, for instance, it is a rule that the man and the woman are not to be placed on an equality in their right to de- mand a divorce. This rule is a violation of every principle of justice; it is a sacrifice to expediency alone. Because there may be more serious effects produced with respect to property and inheritances by the adultery of the woman than by that of the man, their equality in* seeking justice for a wrong is not to be established. This is not a good reason in morals; we doubt whether it is so in policy. Then, again, the rule is to be laid down that a man who has received a great wrong at the hands of another is not to have against the wrong doer the con- solation of vengeance. The injured husband is to set himself free from his adulterous wife, but the man who persuaded her into crime, who made her an adultress, who committed the wrong, and without whose active participation in perpetrating it the wrong never would have been committed, is to escape comparatively free. The action for damages is to be abolished— the promised ( though we should call it the insufficient) substi- tute of prosecution is not to be established, and the petty punishment of a fine, which no court will ever have the firmness to make large enough to be a real punishment, is all that is to be awarded against the great wrong doer. We have no hesitation in saying that this part of the bill will ope- rate as a premium to adultery among oertain classes of men. Then, again, when divorce has been pronounced, though the law will not refuse the guilty parties the liberty to marry again, they are to have no right to obtain the form of a church marriage. This is objectionable on two frounds:— First, that it is impolitic; next, that it is unchristian. mpolitic it is because there should not be any law which any class of men have the option to refuse to carry into effect. If a crime has been committed the law should punish that crime in a plain, clear, undoubted manner, but no one man should have the means extrajudicially, and yet in a manner legally, to add to or to diminish its force. Unchristian, too, is the new rule, be- cause it assumes that the two guilty parties have never repented of their guilt, nor have been legally punished for it, and there- fore that a clergyman may hold them for ever as tainted with sin and living in corruption. The reverse of all this may be the case, and their proposal to marry each other may be less for the gratification of their own passions than with the desire to put themselves again into a respectable condition, to live together according to the laws of God and man, and by their future good conduct to atone in every possible way for their past criminality. To allow them to marry, yet to confine them at the discretion, which is in truth the caprice, of any clergyman to a civil marriage, is to brand them with an enduring mark of degra- dation, and to eternalise their punishment. This is contrary to the rule of the Christian dispensation, which recognises re- pentance and encourages the sinner of to- day to become the good man of to- morrow. These are only some of the blots on this bill, which, having undertaken to make changes that were needless, has encountered an opposition unparallelled in duration, and, we must add, most fully warranted by reason and good sense. INDIA PRESS CENSORSHIP, The first thing that an incompetent man does, when he is in a difficulty, is to suppress the expression of opinion on his acts. That the Government of India should have had recourse to such a step is the first and foremost reason that presents itself to alarm the public mind in England. The English newspapers of India are for a time silenced. It is absurd to say that this was necessary ; it is impossible to believe that it will be beneficial. The English editors could have had no sympathy with the Indian mutineers, nor have felt or expressed anything but horror at their atrocious cruelties. No one pretends that any English newspaper in India has excused the mutiny, or said one word in eiation of the crimes which have accompanied it. Why, then, e those papers been silenced ? Because they commented on the folly, or worse than felly, which has made the Indian autho- rities indulge in a fatal sleep of overweening vanity and self- sufficiency, while the political mischief which has now burst upon them was gathering up its forces for their destruction. The Indian and the home authorities have felt it necessary to put forth something like an excuse for this weak imitation of the habits of despotic Governments, The Times of Monday last, therefore, contains an article intended to ward off the censure with which Englishmen in general will visit this act of tyranny and folly. As might be expected in such a case, the article is full of inconsistencies. It is written against the grain. Thus we are told that in a crisis like the present, a Government can scarcely be armed with excessive powers, " and that the com- plaints of the English journals against the recent interference , vith their freedom will scarcely be adopted in England without qualification." Nay, the writer goes on thus—" It is not enough to say, or even to sSy with truth, that the press is unanimously loyal, that it has been of late exceptionally prudent, and that public criticism is a stimulus to the effective discharge of official duties. If the censorship is properly exercised, discretion and good faith will afford a perfect security against interference, and a prudent and equitable use of the powers conferred by the Act of Legislative Council will probably do much to calm the excitement which prevails among those who are affected by its provisions." We shall see that this tone is not maintained throughout— it could not be. This sentence was written, or at least published after the fact of the suspension of one of the Anglo- Indian papers was known, it might therefore have been expected that the facte • OMnected with that suspension were such as to justify the opinion thus expressed upon the probable use of the newly conferred despotic power. They are just the reverse, and the writer in The Times is compelled to say, " The first exercise of the cen- sorship at the expense of The Friend of India, appears to have been highly questionable." Of course it does— it is sure to be " highly questionable," for it is vain to look for more than one man in a hundred thousand who will not be guilty of abuses in the exercise of despotic power the moment it is conferred upon him. We need not take the trouble farther to censure the In- dian authorities in respect of this matter for our contemporary, whose object is to palliate their folly and misconduct is com- pelled to reprove them. The writer in The Times thus gives the proof of the " highly questionable" exercise of this despotic power says:—" Two paragraphs in an essay on the centenary anniversary of Plassy are declared to be ' in the judgment of the Governor- General in Council fraught with mischief, and cal aulated at the present time to spread disaffection towards the British Government, both among its natiye subjects and among dependent and allied States.' If retaliation were possible, the journalist might reply that the official censure is itself far more liable to misrepresentation, as indicating undue suscepti bility to alarm. The obnoxious article contains a spirited defence of English rule in India against the imputations to which it has been frequently subjected. The portions which are specially denounced consist of a vindication of the policy which has elevated the native community, although ' it may be alleged against us that we have deposed the kings and ruined the nobles of India. As the writer truly states, ' Had princes and rajahs in Hindostan been worth con- serving they would have retained their titles and power. The class speedily dies out in the natural course of mortality, and it is not for the benefit of society that it should be renewed.' On the other hand, it is asserted that ' for every anna which we have taken from the noble we have returned a rupee to the trader;' but the suspicion of the censor was perhaps chiefly ex- HEB MAJESTY'S VISIT TO CHEBBOUBG.— Her Majesty and the royal family arrived in Cherbourg Harbour in the royal yacht soon after half- past six o'clock on Monday evening. Ad- miral Count de Gourdon, Prefect Maritime, came on board shortly afterwards to pay his respects to her Majesty, and had the honour of being invited to dinner, and also Capitaine Auger, Commandant da Port. On Tuesday morning the Queen and Prince, with the elder royal children, landed at the Dockyard under a salute, where her Majesty was received by the Admiral and the general officers in command, and conducted over the whole of the new works. In the afternoon the Queen and Prince drove into the country. On Wednesday morning, at half- past nine o'clock, her Majesty left Cherbourg under the custo- mary salutes and proceeded to Alderney, where her Majesty remained till half- past one p. m. A little before seven p. m. the royal yacht arrived off Osborne, and the Queen and royal family immediately disembarked. THE PBQBOGATION.— Although by no means a matter of cer- tainty, we believe it is most probable that the session of Parlia- ment will be brought to a close on Tuesday next. Her Majesty will not, as has been erroneously stated, prorogue Parliament in person. The royal speech will be delivered by commission, and a Privy Council will be held on Monday next, for the pur- pose of settling its contents.— Globe. DEATH OF LADY LYTTELTON.— We regret to learn that Lady Lyttelton died at an early hour on Tuesday morning, at Hagley Hall, Worcestershire. Her ladyship had been suffering during the last month from an internal complaint, which towards the close of the past week assumed a more favourable aspect. A relapse took place on Monday morning, from which her ladyship never rallied. The deceased lady was second daughter of the late Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart, and sister to the present baronet and Mrs W. E. Gladstone. She was married to Lord Lyttelton in 1839, and leaves issue twelve sons and daughters. FEARFUL COLLISION.— TWO SHIPS RUN DOWN.— Two very serious collisions happened off the coast in the course of Sunday night last. One took place near the mouth of the Humber, and involved the loss of a fine Prussian bark, called the Carl August, of Konigsberg, which was on a voyage from the Black Sea to Hull. She was pursuing her course between the Spurn and Grimsby Pier, when she was run into by the North of Europe Steam Navigation Company's steamer, Scandinavian, from Gothenburgh. The collision is described to have been of a very severe character, and the crew of the bark got on board the steamer, fearing that they would go down with their own vessel. Those in charge of the Scandinavian state that the bark did not exhibit any light, and that she was not seen until they were close upon her, when the helm was put hard a- port, the engines were reversed, and everything done to avert, if possible, the mischief. The bark gradually filled and foun- dered in several fathoms. She was laden with linseed, and the loss of the ship and cargo will prove heavy. The other collision occurred in the Channel, some few miles to the westward of Dungeness. The unfortunate vessel which suffered was the French schooner, Bertha et Leonor. She was making her way up the Channel, on a voyage from Nantes to Dunkirk, when the Britannia steamer, which was going down the Channel, came in contact with her, striking her amidship, and cutting her down below water line. The crew had just time to save themselves before she foundered in deep water. The Britannia took them on to Cowes, where they were landed. ATTEMPTED MUBDEB OF A POLICE CONSTABLE.— On Wed- nesday afternoon, between the hours of three and four o'clock, in the neighbourhood of Short's- gardens, Drury- lane, Police- constable George Guimer, 54 F division, was stabbed with a clasp- knife by a woman named Donovan. It appears, from the best information that can be collected, that Guimer, who is a very active officer, has for several months past been doing duty in this neighbourhood, and by the fact of his having cap- tured a number of notorious characters, with which the locality abounds, he has rendered himself extremely obnoxious to the evil- disposed. At the above- stated time he was under the neces- sity of dispersing a mob of young thieves, who had assembled in the street for the purpose of gambling, one of whom he took into custody, and was conveying him to the station- house, when the woman Donovan followed, and before he ( Guimer) could de- fend himself from the attack he received three stabs from her, which she inflicted with a clasp- knife. Two of the wounds are on the back part of the head, and the third and most severe one on. the throat, in the close vicinity of the carotid artery. The woman was seized and conveyed to the Bow- street station. The constable, who suffered severely from loss of blood, was con- veyed to Charing- cross Hospital, and attended to by Mr Humphries, the house surgeon. The wound in the throat is THE INDIAN MUTINY. During the past week a great number of letters have been pub- lished in The Times and other papers, giving descriptions of the different incidents in the Indian mutiny. All are more or less exciting and heartrending, but want of space prevents our laying before our readers more than a few extracts. A letter from Calcutta, dated July 4th, says :— " How to describe all the enormities that have taken place throughout British India I know not. The overland news- papers will be full enough of news, but a deal that ap- pears in correspondents' letters in the Calcutta daily news- papers will not be found in the overland papers, and a deal more that we have heard of by private letters, that do not find publication, as being too heartrending and shocking to put into print. No savages in the Pacific Ocean could be capaole of doing what these scoundrel mutineers have been guilty of. Women and children slaughtered and maugled in a most cruel manner; young girls of 14, 15, and 16 years of age violated by mutineers, exhausted to death, their breasts and limbs cut off, and pariah dogs fed with the flesh of their victims, cut from their bones— these acts are among numerous others that we learn by private communications— the victims English women and young ladies, some only lately returned from England, thus treated before the eyes of their parents. " The leaders of the mutiny are Mohammedans, not Hindoos, though the Hindoos have been led to join them. The disaffection has spread throughout India; there are some few exceptions where sepoys hare stood firm, but they are few, and not to be trusted one minute. The 6th Native Infantry at Allahabad, that had declared its loyalty to Government, treacherously turned, and, when their officers were sitting at mess in canton- ments, deliberately shot 14 out of 17— only three escaped. The few Sikh regiments that turned against Government may be attributed to a sprinkling of Punjabee Mohammedans being mixed up in the regiments that swayed the rest. Mulvies ( Mohammedan priests) have been very active in seducing the Mohammedans to rise and leading them on. Of Hindoos, too, the Brahmins ( priests) have instigated the Hindoos also; several have been arrested and hanged; as tnartial law is pro- claimed throughout the land, they are strung up in numbers. " Valuable papers have fallen into the hands of Government, to whom a deal is known that has not been made public. Four editors of newspapers, published in the Oriental character, Per- sian, Nagree, Bengalee, & c, have been committed to the sessions for trial for seditious publications, calling openly on all Moham- medans and Hindoos to rise and defend their religion, which they said the British Government were going to deprive them of, aad forcibly convert them to Christianity, & c. " At Futtehpore a native ( Mohammedan) deputy- magistrate headed a party of these fanatics. These are the scoundrels to whose tender mercies the English inhabitants were to be sub- jected under the Black Act! " Take a retrospective view of affairs generally, and I think it pretty apparent that Russia was originally at the bottom of all that India is suffering. When we were at war with Russia, to check her design upon Turkey, she was very industrious in collecting a large force on the Caspian and borders of Persia. She has been all- influential at the Persian Court for years, and made a catspaw of Persia by instigating her against Herat, offering to support her against Dost Mahomed of Affghanistan. There was very little fighting at Herat, it was all a blind to deeper designs. Russia would have joined her forces to Persia— Affghanistan would have coalesced— and British India been in- vaded. It was so planned that the sepoy troops of India should mutiny about the same time. Matters changed by our conclu- sion of peace with Russia and sending a force up the Persian Gulf. The Persian Ambassador, from Constantinople, who went to Paris, found that France and England were united ( to his regret, no doubt), and made a virtue of necessity. The Shah of Persia, however, did net seem to relish it; though he was get- ting the worse of it from our troops, yet his general kept pub- lishing lies of victories over us to keep up the spirits of the rascals round him. " There have been for a long time incendiaries all over India, and secret understandings with the King of Delhi to encourage the mutiny. The King of Oude and his ministers were too glad to have an opportunity of doing what fee considered so advan- tageous for himself at such a time to get back Oude, and heartily joined to assist his co- religionists, the Mohammedans of Persia, Delhi, & c; but our peace with Russia changed the intentions of our wily neighbours, and left the mutineers of India to fight out their own battle. " Look back at the position Russia assumed, how she held on at Ears when Persia contemplated attacking Bagdad. Govern- ment may have seen through these plots, but it seems were blind to what was going on in the centre of their Indian terri- tories. " As to the matter of the greased cartridges and other stuff, it was merely caught up to inflame the minds of the sepoys— both Mohammedans and Hindoos— a mere pretext. Caste must be done away with. Government should have a plain code of laws for all its subjects, without reference to their caste, and let them know that they may worship the Almighty as they please, either standing on their heads or their heels." THE CITY OF DELHI. When we took Delhi in 1803, the outer wall was in a very ruinous state, without any flanking defences further than small round bastions placed at intervals. The ditch was imperfect; there was no glacis, and the ground outside was covered up to the very walls with ruins of streets, tombs, and mosques, and was, besides, intersected and cut up with ravines. Yet even thug, as we have said, a small body of our native troops was able, in 1804, to repel all the attacks of Jeswant Rao Holkar, with a victorious army of 70,000 men. The scheme for the improvement of the fortifications was entrusted to Captain George Hutchinson, of the Bengal Engi- neers, who was succeeded by Captain Robert Smith, of the same corps, and under these two officers Delhi was placed in the situa- tion with regard to works in which it now stands. Captain Hutchinson determined on establishing a series of bastions, with faces and flanks as usual, along the whole of the enceinte, the bastions to be mounted with heavy artillery. He repaired the old walls, and for the purpose of preventing escalade pro- tected them, especially on the river face, by fraise, or beams, the sharp ends of which were pointed at an acute angle downward into the ditoh. The ditch wasclearedout, repaired, anddeepened, especially on the south side, where the wall rested on rock. A glacis was formed to cover in some degree the scarp of the wall; the ground outside was cleared of houses and ruins, and the ravines were filled in, so that the works were rendered proof against wild plundering hordes, or indeed any force whatever unaccompanied by heavy artillery. At the same time Captain Hutchinson was strengthening the defences against attack from without, he made preparations also against a rise of the inhabitants, which at that time appeared a probable event. To meet this danger he erected along the line of wall a series of detached Martello towers, entirely separate from the walls, and accessible fr « m them only by a drawbridge. Each tower was to have a guii mounted on a pivot, so that in the event of a rise in the cify, artillerymen might take possession of the towers, raise the drawbridges, and pour shot into the town from the whole circle of the encients. The Mohammedan College, or Madrisah, at the Ajmir Gate, was protected by an outwork, and the gateways of the city were strengthened by the usual defences in regular fortification. The Kashmir Gate, on the north, from which runs the road to can- tonments, was formed into a place of arms, in which was the guard- house, & c. It was in the enclosure of this gate that several of the officers were killed in the late massacre. We have before stated that Lord Auckland, in 1838, recommended extensive re- pairs, and in particular of the Wellesley Bastion, which was, in fact, entirely reconstructed. It appears that he also suggested the erection of a citadel, though the palace may itself be regarded as one, being surrounded with a ditch, and having walls of great height, built of red sandstone, and pierced for matchlocks. The river face of the palace constitutes the defence of the city on that side. It is a curious fact that the Custom House, built by a medical officer on the glacis near the river on the north of the city, was seld to the Government as a Treasury— outside the walls! The engineer officer, Col R. Smith, was unable to get rid of the build- ing. He pointed out the absurdity of its position, and the em- barrassment which it caused him in his plan of defence ; but although thousands had been spent in removing houses and bazaars, and in clearing the esplanade round the walls, this great building was allowed to remain with all its offices. It was used first as a treasury, and afterwards as a custom- house, and with its gardens and enclosures is doubtless now in the hands of the rebels. We will now turn to the position of the besieged as regards water and supplies. The population of Delhi has been variously computed, but we shall not perhaps be far wrong in reckoning it at 180,000; and the influx of troops and of people from the sur- rounding villages will probably have compensated for the num- bers killed in the late conflicts, and for those who have carried off their property to more secure localities. There are consider- able supplies of grain kept up by the grain merchants of the city, but little fodder for horses is procurable. For a lengthened siege the supplies within the city would be insufficient, but some might be obtained from the opposite side of the river, or from the villages on the right bank, many of which, especially those in the neighbourhood of the Delhi Canal, would be able to pour in vast stores of both corn and fodder. As the Eastern Jumna Canal enters the Jumna immediately opposite Delhi, and as that canal irrigates all the country in its vicinity, the supply of corn, & c, from the left bank would be by no means contemptible. We suppose that these supplies have been cut off by the Meerut force under Brigadier Wilson, whilst those from the right bank have been secured by General Barnard and the main army, which is encamped to the north and north- west of the town, in the cantonment, which is situated about a mile and a half from, the Kashmir Gate, and is separated from the country in which the city stands by a low ridge of rock, on which the telegraph tower is built. This ridge is now in possession of General Barnard. It is a mistake to suppose there is no water in Delhi. The wells are comparatively few in number, but they yield a fair supply. Generally speaking, however, the water is brackish, but in some wells it is excellent. A new well of large dimensions was made by an enterprising individual in 1848- 49. The reason that wells are not so numerous as they otherwise would be is that the Delhi Canal is regarded as the favourite source of supply. But during severe drought, when every particle of water is required for the irrigation of crops, Delhi is annually and frequently left without any supply from the canal, and this for twenty or thirty days at a time. The inhabitants then have recourse to their wells and the branch of the Jumna, which flows past their walls. Were the supply from this branch cut off by our troops, water might still be procured by the besieged by digging, or even scratching holes in the sand as it lies close to the surface in the low tracts, which are affected by the main river. Moreover, the position of the old fort of Selimgarh, with its bridge connecting it with the palace, is favourable as a cover for parties geing to get water. There is not the slightest doubt that the cutting off the canal supply will not prevent the inhabitants from getting water. Whatever difficulty, however, there may have been on this head, and which must have been equally or even more severely felt by our own troops, owing to their greater distance from the Jumna, will have been mitigated after the fall of rain — that is, after the 18th of June. It must be added that flour is ground for the consumption of the citizens by the canal mills, and these of course are stopped. All the women of Delhi will, therefore, have had to grind away at their hand- mills from morning to night, or flour would run short. With regard to the capture of Delhi by escalade, it is probable that a few salves would bring down a portion of the long line of wall between any of the two towers, and render an escalade tolerably easy. But when the assailants had entered the town, if the narrow streets were well defended by firing from the houses on either side, or by a gun judiciously placed, so as to rake them down their whole length, the position of a weak column of troops would be far from secure. General Barnard, in our opinion, is wise not to hazard a reverse, which in present circumstances would be most disastrous. He will now daily be receiving reinforcements, and will be enabled to make the attempt ere long with every prospect of success.— Smith, Elder, and Go's Homeward Mail. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. It is generally asserted and believed in well- informed quarters hare, that if the Government should succeed in procuring the conviction during his absence for contumacy of M Ledru Rollin, a demand will at once be made to the English cabinet, under the extradition treaty, for the apprehension and surrender of that individual. No one doubts that a conviction will be readily ob- tained, the intervention of a jury in such cases not being neces- sary. It is further stated that already communications on this subject of a private sort have passed between Count Walewski and Lord Cowley. The latter has, it is believed, admitted that such a conviction would bring M Ledru Rollin within the provi- sions of the extradition treaty. The fete Napoleon, for the first time since its revival by the events of December, 1851, has been marred by wet weather. A soaking rain, not indeed very heavy but terribly persevering, came down all day long. The unpro- pitious aspect of the weather was so decided from an early hour that the vast majority of the Parisians resolved not to turn out, and the early trains, whieh were expected to bring in their con- tingents of holiday folks by thousands, came in comparatively empty. The theatres, opeu gratis, were of course crammed to the ceiling. The colonnade of the new Louvre, thrown open for the first time to the public, were the only novelty of the day's attractions, and they were the more frequented be- cause they afforded shelter. This will be an immense addition to the promenades of Paris. The railed garden in the centre is the only thing we have approaching to a London square, and a " square " the Parisians already call it. The Pavilions, Sully, Turgot, Mollieu, Denon, & c, the names of which are only newly engraved in front of them, will soon become household words. At the Tuileries the Emperor held his usual levee. An unlicensed broker named Joseph Colion, doing business on the Paris Bourse, has been sentenced by the police court of Paris to imprisonment for two mouths and a fine of lOOf for having publicly asserted that the conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor, and of which the conspirators were lately convicted before the Court of Assize, was a plot got up by the police to in- fluence the elections. Prince Napoleon will shortly set out for a tour in Italy. At ail events he is about to proceed to the Sardinian frontier with a complimentary message to the King, on the junction of the French and Piedmontese Railways. The Union has a remarkable article, in which, after lamenting the downfall of the Freneh colonial system in the eighteenth century, some mysterious longings after our Indian empire are manifested. M Perrotin, the friend and publisher of Beranger, announces that the autobiography of the poet, with his last songs', will ap- pear early in October, in two volumes. TURKEY. " Intelligence from Constantinople," says the Pays, " has been received by telegraph, stating that the ambassadors, in conse- quence of instructions received posterior to the 8th, annulling the late elections, had completely suspended their preparations of departure. The resumption of diplomatic regulations was daily expected at Constantinople." DENMARK" The draft of the new constitution for the Danish duchies has been laid before the Holstein Estates. The duchy of Holstein is to have a legislature and administration for its own special affairs, and those affairs are specified. The Sovereign is to be represented by a Minister for the duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg; but the King reserves the right of entrusting other affairs to the Minister than those belonging to the duchies. No law is to be enacted, or altered, or annulled, without the consent of the Estates ; but the resolutions of the Germanic Diet may be be promulgated in the duchy of Holstein in virtue of the Federal Constitution. NAPLES. The correspondent of the Daily News says, " All the crews and passengers of the Cagliari have been sealed up ever since their capture. The two engineers, British subjects, were cap- tured whilst in the performance of their duty. They have now been imprisoned upwards of thirty- five days, without being permitted to communicate with any one. The only British au- thority we have here applied for permission to see them. It was refused; and we have no assurance even of the existence of our countrymen. Lord Clarendon has sent down directions that every effort should be made to alleviate the sufferings of our countrymen, and in consequence a second demand has been made by Acting- Consul Barbar to Sig. Carafa for permission to see them. This demand has been again refused as impossible. What is true of the English engineers is equally true of the rest of the crew and passengers. One passenger is a lady who has been to Tuscany to place her daughter at school. She is im- prisoned in a room in Santa Maria d'Agnone, a place in which are confined some of the least virtuous of the sex! Now, a word as to the mode in which these unfortunate people have been treated. No communication whatever has been permitted with them, either to their friends or their official protectors. Till very recently they have remained in athe same clothes in which they wer « taken. THE PRINCIPALITIES. The Times correspondent says, " As I informed you in my last, it was decided last Thursday morning, after a council which occupied the whole night, that the elections in Moldavia could not be annulled. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, in commu- nicating this decision to the French Ambassador, added that the Ambassadors of England and Austria concurred in the opinion of the Porte. M de Thouvenel protested against this answer, and, addressing a direct communication to the Sultan, informed him that he could no longer hold diplomatic relations with Ministers who were under foreign influence. He subse- quently broke off all diplomatic intercourse with the Porte and quitted Constantinople. The Russian Minister notified to the Porte that as the elections in Moldavia had not been annulled he had orders to suspend relations with the Porte; so the cere- mony of striking the Russian flag was gone through at Bujuk- d6r6, and the Russian arms over the gate of the palace in Pera have been covered over with canvass. The Prussians and th » Sardinians have also gone through pretty nearly the » ame cere- monies. This is ail directed against Austria and against Eng- land, Austria's obsequious servant. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. The Magdalena arrived at Southampton on Monday with the usual mails. The latest dates brought by the Magdalena are— From Nassau, July 18 ; Greytown, 20 ; Chagres, 24 ; Demerara, 25; Santa Martha, Trinidad, Carthagena, Jamaica, and Grenada, 26; Barbadoes, 27 ; Jacmel, 28 ; Antigua, St Kitts, Nevis, Mou- serrat, and Porto Rico, 29 ; and St Thomas, August 1.— His Ex- cellency C. H. Darling arrived at Jamaica on the 22d, and was received with great enthusiasm. Some fine rains have fallen on the island, which was generally healthy. Exchange as last quoted.— At Demerara the market was firm, and produce scarce. The rumour of gold fields having been discovered within the boundaries of British Guiana has been confirmed, and many per- sons were hastening there.— The yellow fever had considerably abated, and there were very few cases during the stay of the Magdalena at St Thomas, She had eight cases coming home, three of which terminated fatally.— On the 29th ult an extensive fire broke out on a wharf at St Thomas, commonly known by the name of Stnbbs' Wharf, and owing to the quantity of coal de- posited there it very quickly assumed a serious aspect, but from the prompt attention of the crews of the royal mail ships Mag- dalena and Solent, aided by the engineers * if the company, the larger range of buildings was saved, although the coals continued smouldering when the Magdaiena left.— H. M. S. Tartar was at Colon, the Brilliant at Grenada, the Imaum, Perseverance, and Arachne at Jamaica, and the Termagant at Havana. — The United States frigate Sonatoga was at Greytown receiving filibusters. FIBE IN LAMBETH- WALK.— On Tuesday night, about eight o'clock, a fire happened in the premises belonging to Mr William Garnett, a hat and cap manufacturer, carrying on business at No. 41, Lambeth- walk, nearly facing the Fountain Tavern. The fire took place at the time the house was open for business, and was first discovered by one of the inmates. For some time it was feared that several houses would be destroyed. After the engines had been at work some time, the front of the shop fell in, striking Flynn, the sub- engineer of the Southwark Bridge- road station, Mr White, of the County Fire Office, and Mr Huburt, of Burnett's Distillery. Serious damage was done to Mr Garnett's and other houses. As to the origin of the misfor- tune nothing could be ascertained, but the prevailing opinion is that it was caused by an escape of gas. With one exception, the whole of the sufferers were insured. DEEADFUL FIBE AT LEWISHAM.— On Wednesday morning, at an early hour, a fire of a terrible character, attended with great destruction of property, happened on the premises belong- ing to Mr J. Martin, a grazier and cowkeeper, at Manor Farm, Lewisham- road, Kent. The building was from 150 to 200 feet long, and besides the cattle housed in it there was an immense quantity of provender in different parts of the place. The flames took a rapid sweep round the whole of the building, seizing THE ATLANTIC TELEGBAPH.— The real cause of accident to the Atlantic cable appears to have arisen from some want of skill on the part of the man in charge of the break. There were two men on board the Niagara who had charge of the breaks in turn, under the superintendence of Mr Bright, the engineer. The first and best breaksman had retired from his task, and the man who succeeded him did not sufficiently account for the pitching of the vessel and putting the " dead nip" on, and wheu the stern of the Niagara was in the trough of the sea, the sudden- ness of the recoil broke the cable. It is now thought that, in any future experiments, relays of breaksmea will be necessary, so as to avoid the chance of their being overworked or becoming exhausted. It is estimated that the outside loss the company will sustain in consequence of the failure will be £ 25,000. The experiment, as an experiment, has given general satisfaction. It is fully expected that at least one- half of the 335 miles now in the Atlantic will be recovered. All that is within 400 fathoms will be got up, but that part in deep sea at 1,700 fathoms will, in all probability, not be recovered, as it is considered that the strain put on by the friction of the water will be greater than the cable in the deep sea could bear. THE ATLANTIC SUBMABINE CABLE.— The Agamemnon, 91, screw, Master Commander Noddall, arrived at Devonport on Friday week, in company with the United States steam- ships Niagara ( screw) and Susquehanna ( paddle), part of the squadron employed in laying down the Atlantic telegraph cable. It appears that the cable parted when the ships were about from 260 to 280 miles in a direct course from Valentia. The accident occurred at a quarter to four o'clock on Tuesday morning. About 335 nautical, or about 380 statute miles, had been paid out from the Niagara. The ship was going at the time at the rate of three knots an hour, but the cable was believed to be passing out at the rate of six knots an hour. It was thought on board this would have been too rapid if there was no sudden fall in the bed of the ocean, although it weuld not have been too fast a delivery of the cable if some deep cavern interfered with its regular and even deposit. The civil engineer in charge thought it desirable to diminish the rate at which the cable was going out, and had recourse to a break which formed part of the machinery on board. A further pressure of about 1001b was thereby applied to check the " paying out." A change was im- mediately perceived, and the cable, whether from the effect of gravitation on the one side and increased pressure on the other, or from some defect in the manufacture, became suddenly attenuated, and then snapped asunder. After the accident the Cyclops was despatched to Valentia Bay. The Leopard left under sealed orders, it is supposed for New fork, and the other vessels returned to Devonport. The Niagara came into harbour, and is lying off the dockyard. The other ships are in the Sound. A message communicating the particulars of the accident was sent by the commander- in- chief, SirBarrington Reynolds, to the Admiralty shortly after the arrival of the ships, which now await orders. There appears to be a difference of opinion among scien- tific authorities as to the cause of the accident, but all seem to agree that the season for laying the cable is past for this year, and that what is laid out is irretrievably lost, ASSASSINATION OP THE AFBICAN TBAYELLEBS YOGEL AND MAGUIEE.— The official confirmation of the murder of Dr Yogel, at Wara, the capital of Wadai, has just been received. He was beheaded by order of the Sultan. Corporal Maguire, R. E., was murdered by a party of Tuaricks, some six marches to the north of Kuka. Apprehending danger, he had traced a few lines in pencil to our Vice- Consul at Murzuk, requesting him, in the event of his death, to discharge a small sum due to his people. The gallant fellow made a desperate defence, and despatched several of his murderers before he fell. Tlja melan- choly events tend strongly to confirm the opinion that no pro- fitable commerce can be opened with Central Africa over the desert, from Tunis or Tripoli. The true way must be by means of its great rivers— the Nile, the Niger, and the Zambese. SUSPECTED POISONING AT PONTEFBACI,— After a lengthened inquiry, repeatedly adjourned, before Mr Foster, coroner of I ontefract, a young woman, named Fanny Speed, has been committed to York Castle for trial, on a charge of having mur- dered her husband, John Speed, by administering to him a quantity of arsenic. The prisoner and the deceased had been married only about eighteen months, and were both about 28 years of age, though the former, who is of mild, prepossessing ap- pearance, looks much younger. The deceased was a labouring man, and was in the enjoyment of good health up to the morn- ing of Wednesday, the 22d of July, when, after partaking of some currant pie which his wife had provided for his breakfast, he was seized with sudden illness of an alarming character. A doctor was called in and treated him for diarrhoea, then preva- lent, but the patient grew worse, and died in great agony about two o'elock on the Saturday after the first attack. A post mortem examination of the deceased was made, and the con- tents of the stomach were analysed by Mr G. Morley, sur- geon, of Leeds, who discovered a considerable quantity of arsenic both in the soft tissues and the solid portions of the body. The evidence against the prisoner is entirely of a circumstantial character. It was shown that she was on too intimate terms with her cousin, a sailor named Benjamin Wilks, who had been away at sea two or three years, and whom she had promised to marry when he came back. It was also proved that the prisoner had a short time before her husband's illness wished " he was dead and stiff;" that she had predicted to a neighbour that he would not live a fortnight, though he was then in good health, and he actually died within a week after; that she had endeavoured, though ineffectually, to obtain poison at one or two places in Pontefract, alleging different and contra- dictory reasons for wanting it, and that she was strongly op- posed to the post mortem examination of the deceased. The purchase of arsenic by the prisoner was not traced, but on the morning of her husband's death an observation she made to her MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. PBESENTATION 01 COLOUBS.— On Tuesday, the 44th " Regi- ment, being on the eve of embarkation for India, were presented with a new set of colours by Major- General the Hon Sir J. S. Scarlett, K. C. B., at Portsmouth. Major- General Scarlett deli- vered the new colours to the senior majors ( Lieutenant- Colonels M'Mahon and Browne), and addressed the regiment in a most soldierly speech, showing that the colours of a regiment mark its identity, and that those of the 44th, emblazoned as they are with the names of the memorable victories of " Egypt," " Badajoz," " Salamanca," " Peninsula," " Bladensburg," " Waterloo," " Ava," " Aima," " Inkermann," and " Sebas- topol," bore honours no regiment could outvie ; that they had gone through many iiardships in many places, and the names on their colours called up many recollections to their honour and credit; their conduct at Quatre Bras and Cabul was unexcep- tionable, and at Alma glorious; at the former action the bravery of Ensign Christie saved the old colours, and at the latter the self- sacrifice or devotion of Dr Thompson was unparalleled ; in their attack on the cemetery before Sebastopol, on the 18th of June, the 44th Foet lost four captains out of six, and one- fourth of the men; they were now about to ensbark for India, where he hoped success and victory would still be enchained to their standard, feeling certain that under no circumstances would they fail to defend them. The gallant general then feelingly touched upon the deaths of Captains Mansfield, Agar, Fenwick, and Cau! field in the Crimea, and Eusign Souter in the retreat from Cabul, and concluded a spirited and martial address by a hope that the 44th would preserve the honours of the old colours. TBOOPS FOB INDIA.— On Friday evening week 19 officers and 173 rank and file of the 50th Rifles, and two officers and 67 ser- geants and privates of the 56th Regiment, embarked at Kings- town for India. The steam transport Australian left Spithead about four p. m. on Saturday week for Calcutta, with the following officers and men, constituting the head- quarters of the 42d Highlanders: — Lieutenant- Colonels Cameron and Thorold; Captains M'Leod, Drysdale, and Grove; Lieutenants Lawson, Farquharson, Cockburn, Bramley, and Bos worth; Surgeon Furlong, Paymaster Bazalgette, Lieutenant and Adjutant Wood, Ensign Cecly, Assistant- Surgeon Hooper, Quartermaster M'Gregor, 24 sergeants, 17 drummers, 12 corporals, and 237 privates.— The Sarah Sands steam- ship embarked the head- quarters of the 54th Foot at Portsmouth on Saturday wetk, and sailed with them on Sunday night for India. The James Baines and Champion of the Seas, clippers, having on board the 97th Highlanders, the 20th Foot, and part of the 42d Highlanders, were towed by the steam- tugs Resolute and Blazer to 48deg 40min north, and 9deg west, and left them all well on the 11th inst, except a south- west wind, which was the worst they could possibly have met with, but plenty of sea room. Colonel H. Jervis, in command of the provisional battalion at Chatham, received orders on Monday for the whole of the available non- commissioned officers and men belonging to the following dep& ts at Chatham garrison to be held in readiness to embark at Gravesend on board the Lightning for India, for the purpose of reinforcing their respective regiments— viz, 8th ( the King's), 10th, 20th, 32d, 35th, 53d, 1st battalion 66th ( Rifles), 75th, S2d, and 84th. In addition to these troops, it is under- stood that the Lighting will take out the 7th Hussars and a wing of the King's Dragoon Guards for India.

COUET- MABTIAL ON COLONEL CLABKE.— A general court- martial, of which Colonel H. Jervis, Command mt of the Pro visional Battalion, was the president, assembled on Wed nesday at Chatham Garrison, for the trial of Lieutenant- Colonei James Clarke, 1st West India Regiment, on the following charges :— 1. For insubordinate conduct in having, at Tower Hill Barracks, Sierra Leone, on the 6th day of March, 1857, disobeyed the lawful commands of Lieutenant- Colonel Stephen J. Hill, 2d West India Regiment, commanding the troops at Sierra Leone, in re- fusing to embark on board her Majesty's ship Perseverance, 2, and proceed with a detachment of his corps to Bathurst, Gambia, although detailed in general orders, and warned by the Brigade- Adjutant, Lieutenant James Watson, 3d West India Regiment. 2. For insubordinate conduct at Government House, Sierra Leone, ou the 6th of March, 1857, during an interview with Lieut- Colonel S. J. Hill, in having stated " he would not embark on board her Majesty's steamer Perseverance, nor would he obey any orders given by Lieut- Colonel S. J. Hill, as he questioned the right of the said Lieut- Colonel S. J. Hill to command the troops at Sierra Leone, he being exclusively the civil governor of the said colony of Sierra Leone," or words to that effect. 3. For insubordinate conduct in having refused to allow himself to be placed in arrest; and, further, in having stated " that he did not recognise the right of the said Lieut- ColoKel S. J. Hill te place him in arrest. 4. For insubordinate conduct in having, at the time and place mentioned in the second charge, when placed under arrest," and told that the next senior officer would be placed in command of his corps, stated to Lieutenant- Colonel S. J. Hill " that the officer would not take or assume the command of the corps, for that none of the officers of the detachment of the 1st West India Regiment will receive or obey any orders given by the said Lieutenant- Colonel S. J. Hill." 5. For beginning a mutiny, in having, when sta- tioned at Tower- hill Barracks, on or about the 6th, 7th, or 8th of March, 1857, caused disobedience and resistance to the lawful authority of the commanding officer by advising and directing Captain J. S, Macaulay and Captain C. W, Pearsen, 1st West India Regiment, not to obey the commands of Lieutenant- Col. S. J. HOI— The charges having been read over, the prisoner pleaded " Not Guilty" to the whole. The principal witness in support of the prosecution was Captain J. D. Mends, 2U West India Regiment, who deposed to being present at Government House, Sierra Leone, on the 6th of March last, when Lieut- Col Hill directed an officer to inform the prisoner that he was to proceed to Gambia in charge of a detachment of his corps- there being no field officer at that station in consequence of the absence of Colonel L. S. O'Connor, C. B. On the order being given to the prisoner, he stated that he would not obey it, and, at an interview with Colonel Hill the same day, he again refused to obey the order, stating that he looked upon Colonel Hill ex- clusively in the light of a civil governor, in accordance with Earl Bathurst's letter in the " Queen's Regulations," and a note of a later date. The prisoner was then told he was plaeed under arrest, and that the command of his detachment would be given to the senior officer ; on which he informed Colonel Hill that he would not be placed under arrest by him, and that the other officers would not obey any of his orders, as they would not re- cognise him. On the following day the prisoner, on discovering that Colonel Hill had been appointed to the command of the troops at Sierra Leone and its dependencies, wrote a letter to Colonel Hill apologising for the course he had pursued, but re- monstrating against his being sent to Gambia. The trial is likely to occupy several days. CENTBAL CRIMINAL C0UET. ABDUCTION.— OH Tuesday, George Richard Clark, aged 35, was indicted for misdemeanour. The circumstances of this case have appeared very frequently. The offence imputed to the defendant was that of having, by false pretences, procureda young Jewess named Elizabeth Harris, to have illicit connection with hisn, which, by a recent statute, known as the Bishop of Oxford's Act, amounts to a misdemeanour. The prosecutrix, who, at the time of the transaction in March of last year, was only 13 years of age, lived with her father, who is a dealer in clothes, in Westminster, and the prisoner purchased a suit of clothes at the shop, and became acquainted with the little girl, and suc- ceeded in ingratiating himself into her affections, and told her that he would marry her. A girl named Rosa Bush was in the service of the girl's father, ana she assisted the prisoner in car- rying on communications with the prosecutrix. On the 30th of March Bush asked the little girl, Elizabeth Harris, to go out with her for a walk, and she took her to various places, and at length they went to the house in Durham- street, Notting Hill, where Rosa Bush hired a back bed- room, and in the course of the day the prisoner came there, and the prosecutrix, at his soli- citation, passed the night with him. The girl was kept in the house for several days, but placards having been published by her father, announcing her disappearance, she was discovered by the police, and an indictment was preferred against the pri- soner and Rosa Bush. The prisoner was admitted to bail, but he absconded, and was taken into custody at Guernsey. Rosa Bush was tried aud convicted at the June session of this court, and sentenced to nine months' hard labour. It appeared that during the time the prosecutrix was kept in the house, in Dur- ham- street, the prisoner several times gave Rosa Bush money; and there wa3 no doubt that they had both acted iu concert to procure the debauchmeat of the prosecutrix. The jury found the prisoner guilty; and he was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months. ^ FOBGED NOTES.— On Wednesday, Joseph Collins, 42, and Thomas Collins, 40, brothers, described as dealers, were charged with feloniously uttering a forged £ 5 Bank of England note,— The prisoners, it seems, have been carrying on a most exten- sive system of plundering the public by means of passing forged £ 5 notes. Their mode of proceeding appeared to be to go to different tradesmen to whom they were indebted small sums of money, and pay them with forged notes, and in a great number of instances they succeeded in obtaining change. They ap- peared to kave representee themselves as contractors to supply meat to the camp at Aldershott, and iu almost every instance they gave a false name and address. In two instances the pri- soners went to surgeons who had attended them for illness, and to whom they were indebted for that attendance, aud they suc- ceeded in both cases in getting change for a forged £ 5 note. The whole of the notes traced to the prisoners were proved to be for- geries, and Mr Bumpstead, the inspector of notes to the Bank of England, said that they were all impressions from the same plate,— The counsel for the prisoners, in their address to the jury, said they were instructed that they were persons of good character, and that the notes had come into their possession by finding them, and that their object iu giving false names and addresses was that it might not be ascertained that they had misappropriated the money, and that they had no knowledge that the notes were forged.— They were both convicted, and sentenced ti ten years' penal servitude. DAEING ROBBERY AT A PUBLIC- HOUSE. — On Thursday, William Goff, 28, William Jones, 28, Henry Liversage, 24, Emma Grainger, 24, aud Mary Anne Clark, 24, were indicted for a rob- bery, with violence, upon George Johnson, and stealing £ 5 in money and a watch, his property. The women were also charged with feloniously aiding and abetting the other prisoners in the commission of the robbery.— The prosecutor is the landlord of the Salisbury Arms, in Bear- street, Leicester- square, and it ap- peared that about tdree o'clock in the morning four men, two of whom he positively deposed to as being Goff and Jones, came into his house aud stood there driuking until past five o'clock in the morning. They then asked him to let their reckoning remain upon the security of a watch, which they offered to him, and he agreed to do so, and lent tfeem five shillings, aud they had more drink. The prosecutor suddenly missed one of the party from before the bar, and immediately afterwards he was seized from behind round the throat, and all the party attacked him and robbed him of £ 5 and the watch that had been given to him. The prosecutor at length became insensible, and the men made their escape, aud the prosecutor shortly afterwards came to himself, and he then gave information to the police of what had occurred, and described the appearance of the persons who had been concerned in the outrage that was committed upon him. The prisoners Goff and Jones were positively sworn to as being two of the party ; and a constable, who was ou duty near the house, stated that he also saw Liversage come to the door; and when the prisoner was taken into custsdy a few days afterwards by Glass, a sergeant of the C division, he made a desperate resistance, and he, and some thieves and bad cha- racters by whom he was surrounded at the time, bit aud kicked the constable very severely before he could secure him. The only evidence against the women was that they were standing near the house of the prosecutor, and were seon to be in com- munication with the men by whom the robbery was afterwards effected.— The jury found all the male prisoners guilty, and acquitted the women.— Mr Baron Martin, in passing sentence, said that the prisoners had been convicted of a most daring and aggravated robbery, and he ordered them to be kept ia penal servitude for fifteen years. His lordship at the same time said that the constable Glass had exhibited a good deal of courage in securing the prisoner Liversage, and he directed that a reward of forty shillings should be given to him. THE MUBDEB IN ST MARTIN'S WOBKHOUSE.— On Thursday John Payne, 19, who presented the appearance of a person of weak intellect, was indicted for the wilful murder of Richard Empson.— The learned counsel for the prosecution said that there could not be the least doubt that the deceased met his death at the hands of the prisoner, and the only question for their consideration would be whether the prisoner was in such a state of mind at the time as to render him responsible, and it appeared to hiai that the evidence for the prosecution would satisfy ihem that the prisoner oommitted the act under the de- lusion that the deceased intended to kill him, and that he was not in his right mind, aud was consequently not responsible. He then proceeded to state that the prisoner appeared to have come out of gaol on the 7th of July, and a day or two afterwards was taken up on some other charge, and the magistrate before whom he was examined fel^ it to be his duty, from his conduct and appearance, to send him to St Martin's Workhouse, where it was found necessary to place him under restraint in one of the wards, and the deceased, who was an old man, 70 years or age, was directed by the master of the workhouse to watch him. A strait- waistcoat had been placed upon the prisoner, and he was strapped down in the bed, but it appeared that about five o'clock in the morning of the 11th of July the prisoner succeeded in freeing himself from the strap by which he had been confined, and immediately commenced an attack upon the deceased with a broken poker, which he must have secreted about his person from the previous day, and beat bim so dreadfully about the head that he died an hour or two afterwards. The prisoner after the occurrence was very violent, and the police were sent for, aud when he was secured he said that he had killed the deceased, for if he had not done so he would have killed him.— The pri- soner was acquitted on the ground of insanity. EXTOBTION.— On Thursday Frederick Greaves, aged 17, was indicted for feloniously extorting money from Matthew Gibson, under a threat of accusing him of a felonious offence. The pro- secutor appeared to be a respectable young man, in the service of a ropemaker at Stepney ; and it appeared that one evening, abeut three months ago, he saw the prisoner in the Mile End- road, and he threatened to make aa odious charge against him if he did not give him some money. The prosecutor wa* s alarmed, and gave the prisoner eight shillings; and it appeared that after this the prisoner constantly dogged the prosecutor, and extorted money from him on five other occasions under the same threat. The prosecutor positively denied that there was the slightest foundation for the accusation made by the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to penal servitude for life. THE CASE OF STABBING IN THE QUEEN'S PBISON.— On Friday Antonio di Salvi was indicted for stabbing Mr Robert H. Robertson in the Queen's Prison. The bill against Mr Gower was thrown out by the grand jury. The evidence has already appeared in our columns.— Mr Edwin James, Q. C., made a most powerful address on the part of the prisoner, contending that the prisoner had beeu driven to commit an act, no doubt of a serious character, iu consequence of money transactions be- tween the prosecutor and the prisoner, and that words having ensued, in the irritation of the moment he no doubt committed the act, but it did not bear the stamp of any intent to commit murder, or do any grievous bodily harm. The prisoner for years had borne a most excellent character for mildness and humanity, and a number of witnesses would be called who would testify to that fact.— Lord Granville, Lord Hardinge, the Rev Mr Goddard, of Sussex, and several other gentlemen gave the prisoner a most excellent character for kindness and huma- nity, the Rev Mr Goddard offering to take him into his service. — The prisoner was convicted, with a recommendation to mercy. — Mr Baron Martin, iu passing sentence, said he could not con- cur in the recommendation, and sentenced the prisoner to 15 years' penal servitude. upon everything of an ignitable character, and enveloping the ^ _ live stock, so that it was impossible to rescue any of the valuable sister- in- law about putting some ashes into the privy led to an rD animals, which moaned and kicked terrifically.

MOVEMENTS OF SHIPS OF WAS.— The Diadem, new corvette, 32 guns, and 800 horse- power, has been ordered to be commis- sioned at Portsmoutk by Capt Moorson, C. B. This is the most powerful corvette yet added to the British navy, of enormous tonnage and unprecedented power. Her armament will have no parallel in the fleet for a hull of her class. Her Majesty's ship Galatea, under construction in Woolwich Dockyard, is progress- ing rapidly. About 80 shipwrights are constantly employed upon her. The Board of Admiralty have given directions to push the work forward with despatch. The gunnery ship Cambridge, 78, Capt Jerningham, from Spithead, returned to Plymouth on Friday week, and went up Hamoaze. The paddlewheel steam- vessel Devastation, 6, Commander Marshall, from Spithead, which arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday week, sailed on Saturday week, with a floating battery. MONSTER MOBTAB.— One of the monster mortars manufac- tured by Messrs Mollet, of Blackwall, and designed, under the special direction of Lord Palmerston, to carry the 36- inch shell, was on Wednesday landed on the Arsenal wharf, Woolwich. This experimental piece of ordnance is manufactured of wrought iron in five distinct segments, for the facility of transport, the entire piece amounting to the weight of 41i tons, each compart- ment weighing from 1 to 20 tons, and the bed alone, composed of solid oak work, weighing 10 tons. Bach alternate division contains a pipe and socket, which, when fitted, will be overlaid with a grooved heop or ring of considerable substance, and se- cured by singularly contrived fixed staples and keys, so as to form one solid whole, and said to be capable of sustaining an equal amount of resistance with any piece of ordnance hitherto invented. The result will shortly transpire, as the preparations for the proofs are completed, and it is expected tney will take place in Woolwich Marsh in a few days. The second mortar of similar calibre, but of much heavier metal, from the same manu- factory, is to be transmitted to Woolwich to- morrow ( Monday).

I [ COMMITTAL OF TWO POLISH JEWS FOB INCENIABISM.— At the Newcastle police court, on Friday week, two Polish Jews, Lavine Leipschitz, and Selig Leipschitz, his son, were charged with setting fire to their premises, 75, High Buckingham- street, with intent to defraud the Phoenis Fire Office. The prisoners had carried on a small business as pawnbrokers, and it is stated that the class of goods they received was so poor that the pre- mises could not have held £ 100 worth. The policy they held was £ 30 for the fixtures, £ 100 for the furniture* and £ 670 for the stock. A few weeks before the elder prisoner had gone bo Loudon aud purchased several quarts of naptha " for & secret purpose," as he told a friend. The prisoners had made appli- cation to insure the stock for more than £ 1,000, but had not been able to do so. They were committed for trial. DIABOLICAL OUTBAGE.— On Saturday week a most diabolical outrage was perpetrated on the London and North Western Railway, at Penwortham, near Preston, but which, providen- tially, was attended with no personal injury. Some scoundrels, it appears, had placed two wooden sleepers and a piece of iron across the rails, in three different places, but which, fortunately, did not effect the wicked object designed, severe shocks only beiug felt by those travelling at tlie time. THE MUBDEB OF MB LITTLE.— James Spolleu having adver- tised that he would appear in the theatre at Dublin, a kid deliver a " personal narrative" of his late trial for this murder, fulfilled his promise on Monday, but we are happy to state that he was not rewarded by the attendance of more tham three or four persons. His personal narrative turned out to be only an appeal to tfhe public for the means of enabling him to emigrate to America. The fellow made no allusion to the crime of which he had been acquitted until a gentleman present put a question to him, which he was about to answer, when his son came for- ward, and cautioned him to hold his tongue. THE audience appeared almost convinced of his guilt. He has not repeated his experiment. EXECUTIONS AT MAIDSTONE.— St^> hen Fox and Geo. Kebble Edwards, who were convicted of murder at the late assizes for the county of Kent, were executed on Thursday, at twelve o'clock, iu front of the county gaol, pursuant to their sentence. The crimes for which the prisoners suffered were both very serious ones, but that of Edwards was undoubtedly the more aggravated of the two, he being clearly proved to have murdered his own brother by chopping his head nearly to pieces with an axe, and for no other provocation, as it would appear, than that he had complained of his idle and disorderly habits, and re- fusing to work to assist ki supporting himself and his family. Fox was convicted of murdering his sweetheart, on aocount of her breaking off the connection that had subsisted between them, and the evidence left no doubt that he was madly fond of the unhappy girl, and that the determination she had expressed to break off'with him drove him to desperation, and that under the influence of the feelings thus created he destroyed the life of the being he loved best iu the world, in order to avoid the chance of seeing her possessed by another. Both the culprits were very young, Edwards being only 18, and Fox 23 years old. It seems that Fox has never attempted to deny his guilt, or the justice of his sentence, and he has expressed the utmost peni- tence for the crime he c § n* nitted. The other culprit, on the oontrary, although the evidence was most conclusive against him, denied his guilt until Wednesday, when he acknowledged the justice of his punishment. A GAOL BBEAKEB.— Information having been received of the whereabouts of Jones, who escaped from the St Albau's gaol some time ago: on Saturday morning week, Mr DeaytoH, the go- vernor of the gaol, proceeded to Superintendent Cocksedge, of Watford, and thence to London, accompanied by that officer. After procuring the assistance of two constables, at about eleven o'clock at night, they surrounded a hatter's shop, in Limehouse, the front door of which was © pen. Mr Beayton entered, and was making his way to a back parlour, when out rushed Jones, making towards the back yard, where he was met by a police- man, and they both went down together, Jones calling out for his knife. Mr Deayton followed directly, and the irons were soon put on his legs aud hands, which prevented him doing any injury. He was living with his wife and friends, aud had not been out of the house to do anything since he made his escape from the prison. His hat was handed to him by his mother, and on Mr Deayton searching the lining, a very fine file was found secreted, probably for another attempt to escape. He was brought back to St Alban's Gaol on Sunday morning by the go- vernor of the gaol and Superintendent Cocksedge. SEA- SIDE MEDICINES.— Where sea air and bathing are recom- mended for scrofulous complaints, rickets, debility, diseases of the skin, and want of tone in the system, DrDeJengh's light brown Cod Liver Oil may be safely administered, and will pro- duce the most remarkably beneficial results. M. Trousseau, in a recent lecture at the Hotel Dieu, highly eulogises this inva- luable remedy, and refers to numerous cases in which this " precious specific," combined with sea- water baths, has pro- duced the most wonderful and salutary effects under his own treatment and that of many of his learned colleagues. On the Continent, Dr De Jongh's cod liver oil is generally adminis- tered to delicate persons, not considered ill, but in such a state as might favour the development of disease. Dr Carey remarks that, " in a short period its extraordinary effects will be mani- fested by an appearance of health aud strength before unknown. Where the powers of life are low, it affords nourishment to the body when no other can be borne, aud furnishes the frame with fat in a truly wonderful manner."— Dr De Jongh's oil is only sold in imperial half- pints, 2s 6d, pints 4s 9d, and quarts 9s, cap- suled and labelled with his stamp and signature, without which none can possibly be genuine, oy his sole British consignees, Ansar, Harford, and Co, 77, Strand, London, and in the country by many respectable chemists. Proposed substitutions of other kinds of cod liver oil should be strenuously resisted, as they proceed from interested motive » } aud will result in disappoint* i meat to the pur<; liasert 4 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 23, 1857. SP0KTXN& CHBOFICLl. [ TOWN EDITION.] THE T U E. E. left BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, AUG 17 — Many of the subscribers having town for York, the Room was thinly attended, and speculation remarkably flat, notwithstanding the near approach of the great gathering upon Knavesmire. The proceedings, nevertheless, were not altogether devoid of interest, inasmuch as that Saun- terer was sent to the rightabout for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and Ignoramus at one moment bid fair to share the same fate After 4 to 1 had been taken about the latter for the " Bellinger,' S, 6, and 7 to 1 was offered, and a " monkey" betted on Tourna meat against him. No cause was assigned for the movement, but that there was " nothing in it" must be apparent by the re- action which subsequently set in, and the return of the horse to 5 to 1 upon the support of those who seldom throw their money away. Warlock and Tasmania were the only animals men- tioned for the Ebor Handicap, aad the former left off with the call. Our '' price current" is a very short one.

Usher) and Mr O.

HUNTING. We are sorry to hear that Orchin, the huntsman of the Ham- bledon, has been compelled to retire, in consequence of his pain- fully increasing deafness. The Devon and Somerset Staghounds will meet on Tuesday next at Saudy way, and on Friday at Hawkridge, at half- past ten. TROTTING. WANDSWORTH.— These handicap trotting matches of two miles ( in heats) came off on Monday last, at Garratt- lane. First heat: Mr Woodhouse's black mare Black Bess, at scratch, rode by Mr Cale ( the owner), won, beating three others. Time, 6min 58sec. Second heat: This was also won by Black Bess, in first- rate style. Time, 6min 45sec. A CRIMEAN HERO.— On Thursday last the mortal remains sf Charles Edmonstone Kirk, Esq, late captain of 1st Royals, only surviving son of the late Peter Kirk, Esq, M. P., of Thornfield, were deposited in the family burying- place at Carrickfergus. This gallant young officer entered the army in 1847, as an ensign in the 68th Regiment of Foot. He accompanied that regiment to Malta, and other stations in the Mediterranean, and after- wards exehanged into the 1st Royals. On the declaration of war with Russia he went with them to Varna, and afterwards to the Crimea. Landing at Eupatoria, he was present at the glorious battle of Alma, shared in the celebrated flank march to Balaklava, and joined in the hand- to- hand fight of Inker- mann, and did constant duty in the trenches during the whole of the first terrible winter, before Sebastopol. Sent home in charge of a party of invalids, he nobly refused ( although earnestly entreated to do so by his friends) to take that rest which the state of his health demanded, but returned forthwith to the scene of action. But the exertions necessary for a second Crimean campaign proved too much for his already weakened constitution, and shortly after the termination of the siege he was obliged to return to England. Applying for sick leave, he sought in the mild climate of Torquay that restoration to health of which his devotion to the duties of his profession had deprived him, but all remedies proved of no avail. He gradually became worse, and died on the 29th of last month, at Bath, whilst en- deavouring to return home, aged 26 years. His remains were accompanied to their last resting- place by a large concourse of relatives and friends. He had received the Crimean medal, with clasps for Alma, InKeraamis and Sebastopol, THE EGHAM, IPSWICH, AND HEREFO& D MEETINGS. TO THE EDITOR OP BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR: The brilliant results of the meeting which we have just been celebrating at York require more space and time for dis- cussion than is to be obtained at the fag end of the week, there- fore, until our " next appearance" I postpone their considera- tion, and shall content myself with submitting to your readers a few brief remarks upon the country meetings which take place next week. Of the series, Egham is the one which will command the largest share of attention from the metropolitans, and it must be admitted that, under the Hibburd management, its success has been complete. The programme, which is of a character to ensure a fair afternoon's sport, is as yet incomplete, the plates closing the night previous to running. The King John Stakes has fifteen nominations, including Sed- bury; but, as he has a 6lb penalty and may not show, I think Accurate may be found worth standing upon. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes had twenty- six subscribers, of which eleven have accepted the weights, and I am inclined to believe in the success of Shirah. The Barons Handicap has fourteen names down to it, of which 1 prefer most Schoolfellow and Redan Hero ; and in the Runy- mede Nereus recommends himself to attention. Leamington, I hear, will be sent for the Queen's Plate. The Ipswich meeting has been lately revived with much success by Mr M « rry, who has been more fortunate with his Suffolk patrons than with those of Essex, and he has issued as good a programme as might be expected from the materials at his command. Hereford this year, through the exertions of Mr Bosley, is heralded by very high patronage, but the entries, from the claims which are weekly made on the owners of horses, are not as large as they deserve to be, although they include the names of most of the animals in training in the district. The Royal Plate is the only event I shall offer an opinion upon. As the subscriptions to it comprise most of the " cracks" of the day, and the result will go far to expose the fallacy of the late Goodwood Cup running, the weights and the distance being exactly the same. In that race it will be recollected I selected Gemma diVergy for our champion, and I again see no reason why I should desert him, although in Leamington he may find a more formidable opponent than then he had upon paper at Goodwood.- Yours, & c, OBSERVER.

Fitz william, Secretary and Clerk of the Course: Mr W. North. Judge and Handicapper: Mr R. Johnson. Starter: Mr E. Hibburd. Clerk of the Scales : Mr Manning. With the view of placing York upon a level with other first- class meetings like Goodwood, Epsom, Ascot, Chester, and Don- caster, the question has frequently been mooted of extending the Knavesmire gathering to four days, and the Race Committee on Monday last decided, in favour of the change. The pro- posed alteration, however, has not been met in a friendly spirit in high quarters, and most of the leading supporters of the meeting have so strongly expressed their disapprobation of the additional day. that it is not at all unlikely the authorities, admitting the axiom of " letting well alone," and anxious to study the wishes of their best patrons, will abandon the con- templated alteration of the present arrangements. For our own parts, we have always considered the change reasonable and practicable, owing to the great increase in the amount of sport which has recently taken place here, and the monstre bill of fare provided for the present anniversary exhibited no traees on paper of any falling off in the attractions of the meet- ing. But far be it from us to advocate the adoption of any measure likely to interfere with its success, having at heart the interests, of racing not only at York but throughout the kingdom generally; and under such circumstances the com- mittee will do well to give the subject their most serious atten- tion before carrying out any change likely to bring them to loggerheads with those to whom their meeting is so much in- debted for its present brilliant position. If, as was observed in our last, there was a diminution of interest in the Great Ebor Handicap, and likewise in the " Great Yorkshire," owing to the non- appearance of Blink Bonny and Ignoramus, the two and three year old engagements were sufficiently numerous to main, tain to the close the excitement which invariably atteiads the running of Derby, Oaks, and Leger candidates, the two year old racing especially possessing features of extraor. dinary attraction to bookmakers upon the great Surrey events. At the same time the proceedings upon Knavesmire were not likely to cause any diminution in the interest upon the " Sell- inger," owing to the non- appearance of Blink Bonny and Igno- ramus, and the non- engagement of Tournament, Arsenal, and others, supposed to possess outside chances for the great Don caster event. Neither Vedette nor Skirmisher happen to be in the latter race, consequently there was no excuse for their not running here, and the same excuse applies to Saunterer, the meeting of whom and Lord Zetland's pair in the Great Yorkshire was regarded as the leading fea- ture of the meeting. An accident which the black horse met with by running away at exercise and laming himself on the Saturday previous, however, almost left the " spots " in possession of the field, and will satisfactorily account for Saunterer's retrogression in the market at Tattersall's on Mon- day last. Though accompanying John Osborne's other horses to York, his starting for either of his two engagements was pro- nounced extremely doubtful, whilst the running of Mongrel was out of the question, owing to one of his legs having filled some days previously. Other motives have been assigned for the market movements in connection with Mr Jackson's horses, but for the truth of Mongrel being horsde combat satisfactory proof existed, and though somewhat anticipating the order of things, we may here state that during one of the intervals of the racing on Wednesday Mongrel was brought into the Stand inclosure at Mr Jackson's request, and submitted to public inspection. The horse walked lame, and the cause is explained in the following certificate, which subsequently was posted in the Subscription Room :— I hereby certify that I have examined a brown colt, called Mongrel, and pronounce him unfit to start for the Ebor Handi- cap. from inflammation of suspensory ligament. ( Signed) " F. J. DAY, V. S." Upon our arrival at York on Tuesday afternoon we found fewer horses on the spot than the extensive character of the engagements warranted us in expecting— the plates and selling races closed with poor entries, and there was every prospect of small fields, except for the two year old stakes. The influx of visitors, on the contrary, was larger than usual, and the Sub- scription Room in the evening could boast of better patronage than for some years past. Warlock was in great force with the public for the Handicap, notwithstanding the doubt expressed as to his starting in consequence of his owner having been fore- stalled in the market; and Polestar, El Hakim, and Heir of Linne were also backed at our quotations. The field had just the call of Vedette for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and from the desire in well- informed quarters to back Igno- ramus for the St Leger, there did not appear to be much the matter with the horse, notwithstanding the thousand- and- one rumours to the contrary. The " shaves" which obtained most credit were that bis club foot had given way, and that he had been beaten in a trial by Vidette and Skirmisher, but for neither does the slightest ground exist. Our information, upon which we can place every reliance, is that about five weeks ago, whilst taking a strong gallop Ignoramus threw one of his shoes, which, it is supposed, struck him immediately below the knee of his off fore- leg, and caused a swelling at the top of the tendon resem- bling a windgall. Proper attention was paid to it at the time, and after tha horse had been indulged with two or three weeks' rest a plaster was applied which appeared to have a beneficial effect, as the swelling went down considerably, and the horse has been in work during the last fortnight without having at any time exhibited the slightest traces of lamengss; nor does Lord Zetland, we believe, attach the slightest importance to it. When we left the Room at midnight our note- book contained the following list of quotations only :— EBOB HANDICAP. 9 to 2 agst Warlock ( tk) I 100 to 8 agst EL Hakim ( tk) 5 to 1 Tasmania ( off) I 100 to 8 Heir of Linne ( tk) 11 to 1 Polestar ( tk) | 100 to 6 Merlin ( tk) GEBAI YOHKSHIBE STAKES. Even on Vedette | 0 to 2 agst Skirmisher ( tk) ST LEGER. 6 to 4 agst Blink Bonny ( off) 1 200 to 7 agst Strathnaver ( tk) 9 to 2 Ignoramus ( tk) I 50 to 1 Imperieuse ( tk) WEDNESDAY.— A dull cloudy morning being succeeded by a fine, though remarkably close, afternoon, the meeting com- menced under most favourable auspices, the attendance being large for the first day and superior in quality to what we have noticed for some years past. The company in the Round and new Subscription Stands embraced many of the leading fashion- ables and aristocratic patrons of the Turf, a large party of whom were the guests of Lord and Lady Londesborough at Tadcaster, viz:— The Duchess of Somerset and Lady Ulrica St Maur, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield and Lady Evelyn Stanhope, Earl of Lincoln, Sir Robert and Lady Emily Peel, Hon Admiral Rous, Mr G. Sturt, Mr R. Sutton, and Captain Randolph ( H. M. ship. Corn waliis). The sight which was presented on entering the gates on to Knavesmire was a most extraordinary one. Nearly one half of the vast plateau was covered with water, which encroached into the running ground in certain places, and gave the character a swamp to the first half mile of the Old Two Mile Course. Some fifty or sixty yards between the top turn and the mile and a quarter starting post was also very wet, but the remainder of the course, strange to say, afforded beautiful going, and what to those who did not walk or ride over it will no doubt appear more extraordinary still, the only sticky portion was between the gravel road and the winning chair ! On Sunday, we are informed, nearly a hundred people were bathing on Kuavesmire, and some half dozen gamins indulged in the same amusement this afternoon in a dirty piece of water within the magic circle directly opposite the Grand Stand— an occurrence which the oldest Yorkshire sportsmen had never previously wit- nessed, though it is on record, we believe, that boats have been used on the " mire" before the adoption of the present system of drainage. The rains in the northern and midland districts must have been much heavier than in the south judging from the appearance of the country between Newark and York, as miles were completely under water, which in some places pre- sented the appearance of pea- soup, from the quantity of hay and corn floating about. Since the Spring Meeting several altera- tions and improvements have been made in the weighing room, by partitioning off the scales, and erecting an office for Messrs Weatherby to transact their business in; and the sooner the" bar " be done away with, and entree to the Room tabooed to all except the privileged, the better. The card gave pro- mise of ten races, but two of them having been previously arranged the number was reduced to eight, the majority of which, though bringing out small fields only, produced close and interesting contests. The sports commenced at half- past one o'clock with the Zetland Stakes, which was carried off by The Little Cob after a pretty race with Leo and Neville, the latter of whom made his reappearance, after along interregnum, with his powers evidently unimpaired. On returning to weigh an objection was made to the winner by the rider of the second horse on the ground that Bullock, when close upon the post, struck Leo twice across the head with his whip; but the Stewards after a careful investigation dismissed the complaint, the charge of which was denied by Bullockand the other jockeys that rode in the race. Then ensued a long iuterval, caused by a walk over by Manganese for the Burgundy Stakes, which ought to have been placed at the end of the card. Five mares only out of the fifty entered were telegraphed for the Yorkshire Oaks, the bet- ting upon which afforded considerable occupation to the book- makers, from the spirit with which Tasmania, Rosa Bonheur, and Augury were severally supported. The final struggle be- tween the three was as closely contested as that for the opening race, and, like it, resulted in the victory of the favourite, who nobly maintained the reputation of the Melbourne blood by an exhibition of gameness under difficulties seldom witnessed. Tasmania's chance appeared so hopeless at the distance that 100 to 10 was offered against her in the Ring; but, answering to every stroke of the whip, she struggled on, and running the longest, pulled through by a neck. The performance, however, did not improve her position in the Handicap betting. The Black Duck Stakes, reduced to a match between Lords Derby and Glasgow, brought out a couple of wretches, between whom there was another flue contest, resulting in the success of Lord Glasgow's filly by Teddiugton out of Maid of Masham, whose opponent, Streamer, a son of Longbow and Canezou, in ad- dition to being a roarer, was so lame and short of work that when Nat called upon him for the " finishing touch" the horse actually ran slower. Streamer was one of the first horses intro- duced into the Derby betting for the next year, aud has been backed for that race for a considerable amount at 30, 25, and 20 to 1— 1,000 to 10 may be had now 1 Eleveu two year olds— the largest field of the day— went to the post for the Convivial, and in the absence of Perfection, who hit her leg at exercise in the morning, the favour of the Ring was divided between Star of the East and Sunbeam, the grey, however, obtaining by far the largest share, though he cut a very sorry figure, and had the tables turned upon himby Sister to Ellington, whom he defeated at Liverpool. The latter won easily to- dsy, and did a good turn to the fielders, who met with another " turn up" in the Queen's Plate, for which Fisherman, with odds of 5 to 2 and 3 to 1 on him, was bowled over by Warlock. In the absence of Saunterer, Skirmisher had it all his own way in the First Great North of England Biennial, and from the exhibition he made of his three opponents not only increased the confidence of Vedette's supporters for the Great Yorkshire, but found many sup- porters himself at 4 to 1 for the same race. Another small field went to the post for the Chesterfield Handicap, for which each of the four was more or less fancied, and the Diphthong colt won easily; the concluding performance of the afternoon, owing to the Bramham Park Stakes goiMgoff in a walk over by Moestissima, being the Selling Stakes, which was carried off by the ever- green- Radulpbus, now fourteen years old, who was subsequently sold for 82 guineas. The running this afternoon had an important influence upon certaiu horses for future events, Warlock especially, against whom, from the cause already explained, 4 to 1 was currently offered prior to the Queen's Plate, whilst afterwards half that price was taken freely. The horse's success was a staggerer to his owner, who, little expecting such a result, thereby experi- enced fresh obstacles to getting his money on upon such advan- tageous terms as he desired. Tasmania's running sent her back a point or two at the time, but she subsequently rallied and left off seeond favourite at 6 to 1 ( takers). The only other horse in any demand was Merlin, who advanced to 15 to 1 in the course of the afternoon. Seven to four was currently offered on the field for the Leger, 4 to 1 taken freely about Ignoramus, 1,500 to 50 about Sir Colin, and 50 to 1 about Imuerieuse. The principal Derby bets that came to our knowledge were 1,000 to 70 agst Longrange, 2,000 to 100 agst Cock- a- doodle- doo, 2,000 to 70 aud 2,500 to 100 agst Eclipse, and 1,000 to 30 two or three times agst Coxwold ( before his defeat in the Convivial).

Leo jumped off with the lead, followed by Admiral Lyons and Thames Darrell for a quarter of a mile, when Apathy, who had been lying last but two, rushed into the second place, laid at Leo's quarters round the Middlethorpe turn, and then dropped back again, leaving Thames Darrell second, the Admiral third, and Little Cob ( inside) next. After crossing the gravel road this lot was joined by Neville, and they ran almost in a line until half- way in the distance wheu the Admiral and Leo drop- ped off. The Cob theu took a slight lead, maintained it to the end, and won, after a pretty race, by a head, Leo beating the heavy weight by the same; Thames Darrell was. a very bad fourth, and Lady Tatton beaten off. Run in 2inin 19sec. On returning to scale Bray lodged a complaint agaiust Bullock for striking his horse over the head with his whip, but after hearing the evidence of Aldcroft and the other jockeys who rode in the race, all of whom denied witnessing any occurrence of the sort, the complaint was dismissed.

At the second attempt Augury went away with a clear lead, followed by Rosa Bonheur and Bel Esperanza abreast, Tasmania lying fourth, and Strawberry last. After passing the wood Rosa was pulled behind Bel Esperanza, who weut on second until half way between the turn and the gravel road, when she was headed by Tasmania and Rosa, the former of whom came up on the outside, and drew gradually upon Augury. Half way in the distance they closed with her, and an exciting race ensued with the three, Augury having a trifle the best of it until" within six strides of the chair, when Tasmania, who caught the whip all the way from the distance, got her head in advance, and wo a by a neck, Augury beating Rosa Bonheur by the. same; Strawberry was a bad fourth, and the others tailed off.

Lady Alice was very fractious and caused several failures, but they at last got off on pretty even terms, Sister to Ellington leading; she was followed by Star of theEast, Sunbeam, and Wilton, with Happy Queen closely laid up on the outside as far as the distance, when tnc grey declined, and Suubeam went on in attendance upsu the leader. Opposite the Stand Wilton came with a rush, and passed Sunbeam like a shot, but failed to reach Sister to Ellington, who won easily by half a length, Sun- beam finishing a length and a half from Wilton, two lengths iu advance of the favourite. Coxwold and Lady Alice were next, close together, a dozen lengths off, and The Eagle pulled up without passing the post. Run iu lmin lOsec.

At the Stand he reached his girths, when an exciting set- to ensued, resulting in the defeat of the favourite by a neck. Run in Smin 54sec.

The Subscription Room was not so crowded, nor did they keep it up there so late as usual. Warlock's starting for the Great Ebor appeared to be no longer doubtful, judging from the eager- ness with which he was backed, and after all the money at 5 to 2 and 2 to 1 had been snapped up, 7 to 4 was taken to at least four or five hundred pounds. Tasmania had supporters at 6 to 1, Merlin advanced to 12 to 1, and Six and Eightpence was sup- ported by her owner at 1,000 to 30 and 30 to 1. Except about the favourite, however, the betting on this race was uncom- monly dull. Ignoramus was backed for the Leger for little short of a thousand pounds at 4 to 1.

The sale of Sir Tatton Sykes's yearlings ( a very good- looking lot) attracted most of the visitors, and con. sidering the result of the proceedings at Rawcliffe on Tuesday the prices obtained far surpassed expectation. The brilliancy of the weather, added to the attractive nature of the card, which promised ten races, drew a much larger attendance upou Knaves- mire than on the previous day, and in addition to Lord Londes- borough's distinguished party from Tadcaster we noticed the Marquis of Ailesbury, Earl of Zetland, Earl of Derby, Lord Bolingbroke, Lord Robert Clinton, Lord C. Russell, Lord Henry Thynne, Hon C. Hanbury, Hon W. Harbord, Hon G. W. Fitz- william, Hon Robert and Mr Lawley, Hon E. W, Lascelles, Hon Geo. Vaughan, Hon L. A.

The racing on the whole was of a very interestingcharac- ter, remarkable for the second defeat of Cock- a- doodle- doo, oae of John Scott's leading Derby favourites, and for the victory of an outsider in the Ebor Handicap, and one or two other races, which more than balanced the losses of the fielders on those events wherein the favourites were successful. The Filly Sap- ling Stakes, the first race on the card, having been compromised, business commenced in earnest with the Juvenile Stakes, which Target placed to Lord Derby's credit. Next came the Prince of VV ales Stakes, for which Cock- a- doodle- doo was selected in pre- ference to Longrange as the champion of the Whitehall stables, but the grey's second appearance was as inglorious as his debut in the July, without the excuse, moreover, of being amiss as at Newmarket, unfortunately for those who have backed him for the Derby, his price for which race subsequent to his defeat we are unable even to guess at. The race was won very easily by Proud Preston Pe?, who exhibited considerable improvement upon her Liverpool form, though from being in a delicate state the mare had very few supporters. At the scales au objection was made to the winner by J. Goater on the ground of a cross, but upon investigation it was not maintaiued, where- upon one of the stewards, we are informed, volunteered a rebuke otuncalled- for severity to the complaining jockey, which subse- quently afforded a subject of no measured discussion amongst the racing public, and excited a considerable amount of sym- pathy in Goater's behalf. As far as the charge affects John Osborne uo one for a moment would impute to him auything bordering upon an infringement of the strict rules of racing, for no jockey stands higher or is more deservedly respected. The Ebor Handicap of the present year will long be remembered for the proceedings connected with certain horses that have figured in the betting thereupon. The cause of Mongrel's non- starting is elsewhere accounted for, and a satisfactory one it appears ; but totally different reasons are assigned for the scratching of Hobgoblin ( at one o'clock) and Borderer ( at 1: 15 p. m. this afternoon), both horses being on the spot, but pre- vented from running, on dit, owing to the money that had been laid agaiust them. This state of things ought not to be per- mitted to exist, and as the only means of checking the evil and protecting the public, we suggest that the Derby, Oaks, and St Leger only should be recognised as p- p races. The field, from the causes explained, dwindled down to nine runners, the same number as last year. The betting indicated the pro- bability of further coincidence in a repetion of Warlock's suc- cess ; but the great " pot" boiled over, and fickle fortune smiled upon an outsider in El Hakim, whose triumph must have been as great a surprise to his own stable as to the Rins, judging from the report that Merlin had " beaten him out of sight" in the trial, thereby! causing the latter to become such a favourite, whilst his companion, about whom 15 to 1 was taken in the early part of the day, went clean out of the betting at last! Merlin, however, is one of those uncertain brutes not to be trusted in public, as shown by his cutting it not only on this but almost every other occasion he has started ; whilst the winner, on the other hand, exhibited sufficient form in the Northumberland Plate to make the public fancy him when the handicap appeared, consequently the race is not altogether harmless to the bookmakers. The same bad luck which attended the White wall two year olds at this meeting stuck to Warlock ; and but for lying so far out of her ground, it is quite upon the cards that Tasmania, who again ran a very game mare, might have added the Ebor Handicap to her Yorkshire Oaks victory. The Ebor St Leger re- introduced the winner of the Two Thousand to the public, apparently quite recovered from the malady with which he was affected immediately after that event; and as he had ( with the addition of one fresh competitor of very moderate calibre) the same lot to meet whom his stable companion disposed of so easily the dav before, high odds were betted on VtSdette, who won literally " with his head in his chest." A good deal of money was betted at evens, and 6 to 5 on his winning this race and the Great Yorkshire; afterwards 6 to 4 was offered on him for the latter event, and 9 te 2 taken about Skirmisher, 7 to 1 being offered " bar two." Eleven two year olds sported silk for the Second North of England Biennial, minus Longrange aud Blanche of Middlebie, the latter's absence being attributed to her getting pricked a short time back in shoeing. In the ab- sence of any dark " flyer" Amsterdam was made the favourite in the Ring, aud his second essay turned out more successful than his previous one, though it was a very near squeak, and only the very last stride that enabled Goater to have his revenge upon the chocolate jacket, which, strange to state, was first in one and second in the other of these Two Year Old Stakes this day last year. One or two behind the winner in this race will see a better day. At this stage of the proceedings a loss of three quarters of an hour had occurred, and as no jockey appeared to be ready for the Lottery Plate— though Thames Darrell subsequently walked over for the forfeits— the Rawcliffe Produce Stakes was at once brought upon the tapis, whereby a good deal of lost time was recovered. Five started, and the truth of the previous day's running of Sister to Ellington and Sunbeam was confirmed by the easy manner in which Admiral Harcourt's filly again won. The Hopeful Stakes was a mere canter for Sir Colin, who had only Logie o'Buchan for an opponent; and in the Eglinton, for which nine started, Admiral Harcourt's colours were again suc- cessful on his two year old filly, by Touchstone out of Ellerdale's dam— not backed for sixpence— who, with her relative, has honourably maintained the family prestige established by Eller- mire and Dame Judith with such telat here three yeara ago. The success of The Flying Dutchman's stock, which carried off three of the principal two year old stakes at this meeting, cannot fail to have an encouraging influence upon the future position of the Rawciitfe Stud, and it is only reasonable to suppose that if the Company's sale instead of preceding it, had taken place during or after the meeting, buyers would not only have been more plentiful but the prices much more lucrative. In justice to a veteran favourite, however, let us not omit to notice the extraordinary position which Touchstone still maintains amongst the most successful stallions of the day, as evidenced by the success of Proud Preston Peg and Admiral Harcourt's filly in the Eglinton. Neither time nor space will admit of extending our introductory remarks further, and requesting the indulgence of our readers for any shortcomings wfciich the immense quantity of racing may have caused, we must refer them to the following details for further particulars of this bumper afternoon's sport :— The FILLY SAPLING STAKES of 50 sovs each, 30 ft, for two year olds; 8st 71b each; T.

Half way in the dis- tance her royal highness joined Amsterdam, and these two ran a good race for the second money, which resulted in Amsterdam's favour by a neck— Proud Preston Peg winning easily by a length. Bonconi was beaten three lengths from the third, and Rita was fifth, close up with him, Cock- a- doodle- doo auct Terrific being next some distance off.

Merlin immediately took a clear lead, and cut out the work at a good pace, followed for two or three hundred yards by Queen Bess, and afterwards by El Hakim ( who was last oft) and Six and Eightpence, Queen Bess going on fourth, with Polestar and Warlock in close attendance, Underhand lying at their heels, several lengths in advance of Tasmania and Heir of Linne, who were at least a hundred yards behind the leading four. With the exception of Polestar head- ing Queen Bess at the wood side, and the latter droppimr be- hind Warlock at the T. Y. C. post, there was no change in the foregoing positions until after rounding the Middlethorpe turn, when Merlin's lead began to diminish at every stride, and on being joined by El Hakim at the bend, he shut up instanter, re- fusing to make an effort afterwards. For a few strides Warlock and Polestar then became the immediate followers of EL Hakim, but at the distance they were passed by Tasmania, who got on better terms with her horses after passing the half- mile post, and inside the distance came with a tremendous rush but failed to reach El Hakim, who won after a good race by a length, Pole- star finishing two lengths from the second, a neck in advance of Warlock, who was not persevered with to the end. The others straggled in at wide inter rals, Merlin being fifth, Six aud Eight- pence sixth, Queen Bess seventh, and Heir of Linue, who did not pass the post, last. Run in 3min 45sec.

At the bend the favourite cook a slight lead, and increasing it as he went on, won, pulling double, by a length, a splendid race lor the second money resulting in favour of Schiedam by a head, Bird in the Hand having a similar advantage over South Western ; Augury beaten off.

FRIDAY.— If the sport on the last day did not exceed that o- the two previous ones, the weather continued most propitious, and attracted a remarkably large show of company to Knavesmire- The sports, upon which our remarks must be brief, began with the Consolation Scramble, for which Imperieuse was made the favourite, but the stable was again out of luck, and the mare's chance extinguished in the outset by a bad start— the race, con. fined to the first three throughout, resulting in the success of Beatrice by a neck. Kent made his first appearance in public since the Two Thousand in the Kr. avesmire Stakes, and was backed with considerable spirit by his noble owner agst Drumour, who exhibited none of his Goodwood temper, and won easily, Kent having only five weeks ago undergone a certain operation. Lord of Lorn was a great " pot" for the Gimcrack, but it boiled over, and the stake was carried off by Princess Royal, after a remarkably fine race with Sister to Ellington, who, but lor the 31b extra, and being in a delicate state, would probably have secured a third victory. Next came the all- important event of the meeting — the Great Yorkshire Stakes— for which, out of the hundred and four entries, the small field of five only went to the post, viz, Vedette, Skirmisher, Sauuterer, Sydney, and Strathnaver. Lord Zetland, who though not the owner has sole control of Skirmisher, having declared to win with V6dette, the betting at last was almost entirely con- fined to the favourite, 9 to 4 being laid on him, and 7 tol offered " bar one." The race admits of little description. Skirmisher cleared the way for the " crack," who waited until within the distance, when Ashmall took him to the front, and " Sim" riding to orders, permitted V6dette to win as he liked, without even affording the public a mock struggle for their money. The success of the " spots1'— in accordance with the an- ticipations of " Observer"— called forth the usual popular ovation from the Tykes, but the enthusiasm did not find an echo in the Ring, whilst curses loud aud deep were uttered by the backers of Skirmisher, who, from the fact of the two horses belonging to different owners, naturally imagined that they would run on their merits. That Skirmisher could have won is the general belief, although the stable repudiate the notion, and Ashmall, we believe, subsequently informed Lord Zetland that he could " command" Skirmisher at any point of the race, the result of which advanced Igno- ramus to 5 to 2 ( takers) for the Leger. Sydney's exhi- bition was anything but encouraging to his Doncaster backers, Saunterer's off fore leg bore unmistakeable tracts of the injury done to it by the accident which he met with on the Saturday previous to the meeting, which caused him to be so far stopped in his work as to interfere materially with his chance to- day; though under the circumstances it cannot be denied that he ran respectably. Owing to the Great Northern " crack" Edinburgh express being aa hour behind time on its arrival at King's- cross, we are prevented from ex- tending our introductory remarks further, and in taking leave of the meeting, which was a very successful one on the whole, gladly compliment Mr North and his brother officials upon the satisfactory result of their labours.

With the exception of Turret rushing to the front and leading for about a hundred yards round the Middlethorpe, wheii he ran out and disappeared altogether from the front, there was no im- portant change until after crossing the road, when Princess Royal succeeded iu getting up next the rails into the third place. Here she waited until halfway in the distance, when the favourite dropped off, and Princess Royal challenged Sister to Ellington, whom she defeated, after a splendid race, by a head, Queenstown, who came with a wet sail at the last, finishing half a length only behind the third. Lord of Lorn was beaten two lengths from her, and Terrific ( fifth) a long way from her, the rest being " nowhere." Ruu in imiu olsec.

The members of the race com- mittee, Messrs Lucas, Steward, and Miller, were indefati- gable, and we heartily wish them a better bill of fare next J6"- There is 110 reason why Great Yarmouth, with £ 335 added money, should not show great improvement, and we are happy to hear that they are already commencing opera- tions by obtaining subscribers to the Norfolk and Suffolk Handicap, which Kext year will be 10 sovs each, h ft, and 100 added, aud to which they have already secured nearly thirty names. Also they purpose to thoroughly re- model the existing stakes, and m addition to the present Nursery Handicap to have a new Two Year Old Stakes of 10 sovseach, h ft, aud 2 if de- clared, with 60 added, to close on lst of January, and what is most important of all, the time of the meeting will be arranged so that it will not as now clash with a great meeting like York: or any ot the southern meetings, so that the race committee hope by making these and other alterations to get increased pa « tronage. The Race Fund was materially benefitted by the sales during the two days; " Eiction," entered to be sold for 40 sovs, sold tor 78 guineas to Mr Simpson, of Diss, and Moonshine bought in for 60 guineas.

Clerk of the Course: Mr C. Cox. Hou Sec: Mr Flanagan. Under auy circumstances it may be doubted if these races would have proved attractive, or produced much sport, clashing as they did with the York fest ival, and having, as will be seen, but a very weak list for the two days. It cannot have surprised any- body that the attendance was almost confined to parties resident in the county, scarcely a dozen of the London division being present, and that the races were few and destitute of interest, with the exception of the Berkshire Stakes on Thursday, for which Fisherman— who, with Wells, had travelled all night from York, after his race with Warlock— put in an appearance, much to the discomfiture of many of the owners of horses engaged. Notwithstanding his soreness from so long a journey, and the steadying weight of 9st 71b, the game sou of Heron bided his time, came up at last, and won in a very clever manner. Mr Parr attributed his defeat the day before not to the s. tate of the course, but to the horse's great aversion to run in hot weather. The weather on both days was very tine.

Emulator was a good third, and Elfrida last. On returning to scale Tinwald was objected to, aud the race, for the cause assigned, given to Van Dunck.

On reaching the mile post Re- demption gave way to Vulcan, Riaito, and December, Fisherman at the same time drawing towards the front, and at the distance he joined issue with^ Vulcan and Rialto, who were running abreast, but leaving them in a few strides won cleverly by two lengths, a like distance separating second and third.

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 aud the Hereford and Worces- ter counties. Miles of highway were 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. Clay, Esq, officiated for the gallant steward, suddenly ordered to India with his regiment: The HUNTERS' STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 20 added, for four year olds and upwards that have been regularly hunted, & c ; gentlemen riders; heats, about a mile and a quarter j 3 subs.

Here is a pretty course, half circled by mountains in the rear, with the ocean immediately beneath it, and when improvements are effected, as intended by next year, we question if ground ( the use of which is gratuitously allowed by Earl Jersey) will be found more adapted for racing iu this region of hills and dales. Liberally assisted by the mercantile and trading interest of the town, the committee, advised by the active and obliging clerk, now converted the Glamorganshire Stakes into a handicap, which, with a new race, called the Swansea and Neath Plate, headed a tolerably attractive programme. Selling conditions sent the Commercial Stakes to the wall, as was expected the race- horse duty would have done the " Jersey" and Hack events, regarded of much importance in bringing out horses " restricted to and being the property of farmers, & c, in the district." The committee, however, made public the opinion of the Messrs Weatherby, to whom they applied, as to the liability of the class of animals referred to. It was as follows:—" We do not think hacks and horses, the bond fide property of farmers, will be required to pay the race- horse duty. They will, of course, have paid the regular horse tax. It is meant to be liberal in this matter, but not to have the tax improperly evaded." All doubt as to the payment of double duty was dispelled by this intimation, and the races in question proceeded as heretofore; though we could name a round of meetings at which, since the commencement of the year, horses have been kept from the post under a totally dif- ferent impression. On Thursday hundreds emerged from the mines and works of the smoky heath valley to join in the sports on Crumlyn Burrows. Magnificent weather also attracted numerous fashionables that in autumn hie to this marine re- treat, and long rows of vehicles contained the beauty and gentry of the neighbourhood. The well- known Ferret., recently named Sweetbriar, and who, up to a week or two previously had done duty as a hunter and hack, was brought out much in her old form, and polished off her opponents in the principal race with the greatest ease. Less heat running would have been preferable to many, but taken as a whole no affair of the kind could have passed off more satisfactorily. THURSDAY, AUG 20.— The TRIAL STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for three year olds and upwards; weight for age, & c; one mile and a quarter; 4 subs.

BY MESSRS TATTERSALL. THE RAWCLIFFE STUD YEARLINGS. The annual sale of the yearlings bred at the Rawcliffe Stud Farm took place on Tuesday last, on the premises near York- The Company, as on former occasions, displayed their liberality by providing a substantial luncheon, with plenty of iced cham- pagne, & c, for the visitors, of whom there were plenty to partake of the good cheer. Three o'clock was fixed for the commence" ment of business, but Half an hour's grace was allowed to the travellers by the half- past nine express from town, amongst whom, however, there were few purchasers as it turned out* Mr Richard Tattersall then entered his pulpit, and the first lots submitted were the two stallions, Connaught Ranger and Cruiser, for the former of whom the highest bid was £ 25, whilst the latter, who has become such a perfect savage that visitors were directed to his open box to take stock of him, was bought in for £ 20! The catalogue was then commenced, but owing to the paucity of buyers aud the absence of many gentlemen who have supported this and other sales by giving large prices in former years, business proceeded so very languidly that in the first hour and a quarter only eight lots, which fetched " little or nothing," were got through. The sale was not concluded until seven o'clock, previous to which, during the disposal of The Flying Dutchmas's produce, the majority of the visitors took their de- parture. Taken as a lot, the yearlings were remarkably good- looking, and their appearance, by no means so gross as many others that have been brought to the hammer this season, reflected great credit upon Mr F. Martin, the manager, and the stud groom, Mr Bateson. It will be seen that The Flying Dutchman again scored the highest figure with a sister to Schiedam and Vandyke, who fetched 210 guineas, upwards of 550 less than was given for her brother last year! A very clever colt out of Miss Nancy realised 200 guineas, and, but for the injury to an eye and a blow 011 the knee ( which seemed in no way, however, to interfere with the horse's action), the colts out of Belsay and Pharsalia ( Storm8ail's dam) would have obtained much larger prices. The Slanes ran a very close race with The Dutchman, and a good looking colt by the former out of All's Lost Now was the second highest priced one at the sale, being beaten by a " fiver" only by the sister to Schiedam and Vandyke. Mr Joseph Dawson was the purchaser of this colt, and he afterwards disposed of him to Mr Jackson at a " century" profit, with the understand- ing that he is to go into the former's stable at Usley. A short time back 10,000 to 100 was taken about the colts out of All's Lost Now, Miss Nancy, and Pharsalia, for the Derby of 1859. The third best price was obtained for a splendid filly by Slane out of Jovial, a striking resemblance to Virago; aud " next on the poll" was a strong racing- like roan colt by Chanticleer out of Melita's dam. The proceeds of the sale amounted to 2,568 guineas, much less than last year, and giving an average of 64 guineas only. Of the forty lots, twenty were by The Flying Dutchman, and they realised rather more than half the gross sum, viz, 1,392 guineas, or an average of nearly 70 guineas apiece. Six Slanes fetched 509 guineas, or an average of nearly 85 guineas apiece; and seven Chanticleers 438 guineas, an average of nearly 63 guineas each. The colt by Windiscbgratz out of Shamrock, the last lot ia the catalogue, was not sold. It is intended to alter the dav of sale next year, and in all probability Thursday morn- ing will be selected as most suitable to all parties. The follow- ing is a " return list," with the names of the purchasers of each lot:— BAY FILLY, by Flatcatcher or Ptolemy out of Pauline, by the Em- Gs. peror ( Mr Parry) 17 BAY COLT, by Ptolemy out of Thetis, by Van Tromp ( Mr Saxon).... 18 BAT FILLY, b Slane out of Merry Lass, by Mulatto ( Mr J.

TBEDEGAR PAKE CLUB,— By the kind permission aud under the patronage of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart, the above- named club has been formed. Two meetings will tike place during the coming season, the first on the 13th Oct, and the next in March. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. The general features of the Money Market are, on the whole.' satisfactory, the supply having increased, which has induced the bill brokers and others to negotiate the best descriptions of mercantile paper at a fraction below the bank rate. Owing to the active exportation of silver to the East and the prospect of the remittances both to India and the Continent being continued on a large scale, there is not much chance of any permanent re- duction in the minimum rate of discount. On Thursday the steamer Columbo left Southampton with nearly £ 1,100,000, aud until a favourable alteration in the Indian exchanges takes place, it is not expected that the Money Market will become easier. The Bank return published for the week ending the 15th inst showed a decrease in the bullion to the extent of £ 23,848, total being now £ 11,259,906. The Notes unemployed were larger by £ 131,530, and the Other Securities were lessened £ 475,558. The active circulation payable on demand was de- creased £ 154,415. The market for the English funds has been rather variable this week. Occasionally, symptoms of buoyancy have been apparent, but no decided advance has been established. Many of those who bought at lower prices have realised their profits, which, with the depressed state of the Paris Bourse and the large shipments of specie to the East, have prevented any im- provement. Yesterday Consols were depressed, and closed at 90$ 1 for money, and 90| 91 for the account. The New Three per Cents aud Reduced Annuities were also at slightly reduced quotations. Exchequer Bills closed at 3s to 4s discount. The latest prices, on Friday afternoon, of the English Funds were— 35 Total Gs. 2,568 SIR TATTON SYKES'S YEARLINGS. The sale of Sir Tatton's yearlings— all colts by Daniel O'Rourke— took place on Thursday, and realised the following pricesGs CHESNUT COLT, by Daniel O'Rourke out of Leo's dam ( Mr J.

Turkish Six per Cents receded about 1J per cent, Spanish Mexican and Dutch Two- and- a- Half and Pour- and- a- Half per Cents about i, Russian and Peruvian Bonds were steady, and Peruvian Dollar Bonds were dealt in to some extent, at higher prices.

Caledonian have improved 3 per cent, Great Northern 1, Great Western 1}, and South Wales 1} ; North Eastern ( Berwick) declined 2 to 2- i ; North Western f, South Western I}, and Midland about 1. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there was also a moderate busi- ness transacted; Paris and Lyons declined about i, and Southern of France and Great Luxembourg } ; Grand Trunk of Canada improved 2, and East Indian declined 2. Mines, banks, and miscellaneous shares have been very inactive, and prices in most instances have shown a downward tendency. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— The dramatic season of the Princess's Theatre was brought to a closeon Friday evening. It has extended over eleven months, and has been remarkable for the non- pro- duction of any actual novelty, and for the revival during such a lengthened period of but four plays, three of which were Shak- sperian. In each of these revivals Mr Charles Kean's managerial taste and tact, great liberality, and scrupulous exactness in mat- tors of detail and antiquarian research, have been displayed as fully as in former years; the play- bill of each has borne the ac- customed scholarly fly- leaf, and the play in its new and gorgeous aspect has been the talk of the town for the time being. We are extremely glad to hear that Mr Kean's success, in a pecu- niary point of view, has been fully as great as in his revivals. HOP INTELLIGENCE.— About Canterbury the improvement in the hops during the last week has been all that could possibly be expected, considering the blighted state many ef the grounds were in. The produce per acre, which did not at one time look more than 2cwt, bids fair to exceed, on an average, 3cwt. The hops will be much in two crops, so that the early one ones will be dead ripe before many which have just appeared will be fit to pick. The forward ones in many grounds are disposed to mould, and are infested with much flea— a very mischievous insect to the hop at this time of the season, so that the crop has something yet to go through. There is no doubt that picking will be full a week earlier than last year, in fact, there are por- tions of some of the grounds in this neighbourhood which will be ready in another week or ten days. In the neighbourhood of Maidstone the late raius have much improved the hops, which stood greatly in want of moisture. Many grounds that had heen previously injured by blight have now partially recovered, and will grow a few hops where there was scarcely a prospect of any. Should we have fine weather from this time, the crop will be larger than was anticipated a few weeks ago ; but should there be a continuance of the wet, mould is likely to occur on the strong grounds, and thus to deteriorate the quality. The general reports state that many of the hop plantations have been much improved by the late heavy rains, which have given increased vigour to the plant, but where the ravages of blight and ver min were more serious, the plants present no sign of recovery. Not a few of the gardens will yield more than 4cwt and 5cwt per acre. Picking will be early. From Sussex the accounts generally are very favourable as to a crop. In nearly every parish the reports state either a slight or a decided improvement. OUT- DOOR PASTIMES.— On Monday next, as well as the present Saturday, there is to be a grand display of the manly games of Scotland, and of Old English pastimes, instead of on Saturday only, as first announced, at the Crystal Palace; the occasions being those of a second and third fete in aid of the funds of the Early Closing Association. By this arrangement, all classes of the public will have an opportunity at the same time to witness these novel, health- imparting sports, and to support an associa- tion whose aim is the elevation of the great body of the indus- trial classes. EXTRAORDINARY COMMITMENT.— On Thursday week Robert Wilson, a respectable young man in appearance, was charged before the Swindon magistrates by the proprietor of the refresh- ment rooms at the railway station of that town with stealing a bottle, a cup and saucer, and a metal spoon. The prisoner had purchased the contents of the bottle and some coffee in the cup, which he took to the carriage in which he was travelling. He was convicted of stealing the articles charged, and sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment, by which he will lose the passage money paid for a berth taken on board a vessel in which he was about to emigrate with his family to Australia. THE MURDER NEAR DURHAM.— The adjourned . inquest, on the body » f Dorothy Megee, wife of James Megee, pitman, of Waldridge Fell, took place on Thursday. The evidence of the surgeon who made tne post- mortem examination, disclosed the dreadful nature of the injuries inflicted on the head of the un- fortunate woman. The muscles were quite in a gelatinous con- dition from the violence which had been used, and several of the wounds cut through to the skull. Nearly the whole scalp was torn off from the nape of the neck to the front part of the head, showing that deceased must have been subjected to the most brutal treatment, irrespective of the kicks which had been administered to her. The jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against James Megee. THE PRESENT STATE OE THE METROPOLITAN IMPROVB- MENTS.— Last week was issued a report, dated the 22d of June last, made to the Treasury by the First Commissioner of Works, in relation to the present state of the metropolitan improvements under the direction of his department. Copies are also printed of correspondence between the commissioner and gentlemen en- trusted to report the progress of the various works. From the abstract of the eorrespondence, " it will be observed," writes Sir Benjamin Hall, " first, as respectsBattersea Park, that the sum of £ 69,909 15s is required to complete the works comprised in the revised estimate of1847 ; and when that amountis expended, the excess upon that estimate will amount to £ 111,065 6s lid. Second, as regards Chelsea Bridge, that the sum of £ 34,503 4s lOd is required to complete the works comprised in the revised esti- mate of 1852- 53, and when that amount is expended the excess upon that estimate willjamount to £ 23,766 2s 9d. Third, as re- gards Chelsea embankment and the street from the new bridge to Sloane- street, that the sum of £ 26,289 8? 6d is required to complete the works to the west end of Chelsea Hospital com- prised in the revised estimate of 1852- 58 ; and when that amount is expended, the excess upon that estimate will amount to £ 12,337 0d9d, Fourth, as regards the Pimlico improve- ments, that the sum of £ 27,810 0s. 5d. is required to complete the works according to the act of 1853, but until the completion of the improvements the value of the land and buildings to be transferred to the Commissioners of Land Revenue, under the 7th section of the act and the Treasury minute of the 8th of July 1853, cannot be ascertained. If, however, the value should fall short of £ 51,360, the deficiency will have to be otherwise provided for. Fifth, as regards the new street from Spitalfields to Shoreditch, that the sum of £ 12,000 is required to complete the works comprised in the revised estimates of 1850 and 1852 j and when that amount is expended the excess upon the revised estimates of 1850 and 1852 will amount to £ 20,467 0s. Id." The right hon baronet urges that the best course will be to obtain a grant of money for the purpose of closing these matters, and that he should be instructed to realise, as speedily as possible, the value of the property which will remain at the disposal of his department after the completion of the works. He is confi » dent that the sum so to be received will exceed the total of the amount required to complete the above- mentioned undertakings (£ 170,512 8s 9d), and " leave a very considerable surplus towards repaying the sum of £ 200,000 advanced by the Exchequer Loan Commissioners for the formation of Battersea Park." THE HOP MARKET,— 1The first pocket of new hops arrived this day at market, the growth of Jeremiah Smith, Esq, of j Springfield Lodge, Rye, and was sold by Richard and Robert j Russell, to Mr Tssruas Fothergill, hop merchant, Manchester, . so & folday 1 ] at £ 100 per cwte BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 23, 1857.

Hewett, Esq,. and the other officers, Mr G. Legg took the chair, the house dinner having previously been nume- rously attended. Mr R. Sadleir, the hon sec, having read the minutes of the July meeting, which were unanimously con- firmed, the following gentlemen were balloted for and duly elected members of the club, viz: Mr H. D. Smith, 10, Roches- tey- terrace, Vauxhall Bridge- road; Mr J. Lynn, Heath- street; and Mr R. Battley, of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, Kingston, owner of the yacht Flirt, 8 tons, who won the P. W. Y. C. Challenge Cup in 1856. The chairman then said that the Sailing Com- mittee had fixed upon Sept 19 as the day for closing the most successful season the ciub has ever had. Yachts to assemble at the Brunswick Pier, Blackwall, start thence at half- past three, and proceed in company to Erith, where the members will par- take of the good things of this world provided by Mr Deane, of the Crown inn. This fixture having met the general approval of the members, the chairman presented the handsome Chal- lenge Cup won by Mr E. S. Bulmer, of the cutter Little Mos- quito. 8 tons, on the 17th ult, to that gentleman, in accordance with the decision of the Sailing Committee. Mr Legg said that he was most happy to have to present this well- earned prize to Mr Bulmer. The cup was not absolutely on the table, as it was at the silversmith's, where it would be given up with all due formality next morning, but he did the same as though it were really before him. Mr Bulmer's yacht had proved herself not only the fastest boat to windward, but also the fastest boat on that day ( the 17th ult), and should the now fortunate holder be suceessful next year, he ( the chairman) should be too happy to t've him the cup to be retained by him in perpetuity. Mr. ulmer replied in his usual happy style, thanking Mr Legg for the flattering words he had bestowed upon him, and regretting that there should have been any unpleasantry ( adverting to the protest) connected with his winning the cup. He would try his best next season to get permanent possession of the prize. This concluded the business of the evening. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The usual monthly meeting of the Royal London Yacht Club took place on Monday evening last at the club- house, the Cale- donian Hotel, Adelphi- terrace ; James Goodson, Esq, the Com- modore, in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, and several gentlemen whose names were on the list balloted for and duly elected, the chair- man said that there was no important business on the circular, bat he would read them a letter from the secretary of the New York Yacht Club. The purport of the letter was an invi- tation from the N. Y. Y. C. to the members of the Royal London Yacht Club to compete for the silver cup, value 100 guineas, which was won by the celebrated yacht America in our waters in 1852, and whioh, the owner having lately died, was thrown open for competition by yachts belonging to any royal yacht < dub in Europe. The letter having been ordered to be entered on the minutes, the chairman said that the next and only thing he had to bring before them was an appointment for the closing trip of the season. The Sailing Committee had fixed upon Oct 3. Yachts to assemble at Blackwall at 4 o'clock p. m., aud proceed in company to Erith, where the members will dine at the Crown Inn. The chairman having expressed a wish that the R. L. Y. C. season of 1857 might close with as great iclat as it had opened, and the fixture of the Sailing Committee having been unanimously concurred in, the business of the evening was declared to have terminated. LONDON MODEL YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting will be held at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet- street, at half- past seven o'clock on Tuesday, Sept 1st, when the chair will be taken and business commenced at eight o'clock precisely. The officers ( and others who reside at a very considerable distance from the club room) hope their brother members will remember the request for an early attendance. Notice of motion by Mr Eedy:—" That in future club matches, if one yacht only shall take her station, she shall be permitted to sail the course and claim the prize, subject, of course, to the usual sailing regulations."— Notice of motion by hon sec:— " That the maximum tonnage be ten tons instead of eight, and that five tons aud under be the second class."— The prize won at the first- class match will be presented to the winner. CARNARVON REGATTA. This regatta took place, as announced, on Thursday, Aug 13, but from the fact of no steamer being engaged for the use of the club and its officers, but little seemed to be known of what took place during the race outside, and the North Star was saluted as the winner from the Commodore's yacht on her return, although, through the stupidity of the pilot, she was not entitled to the cup. The following vessels entered YACHT. TONS. OWNBB. CORALIE 85 Mr A. B. Byrne PLOVER 30 ........ Mr R. Tetley NORTH STAB 2A Mr G. Harrison RANGES 13 MRJ. A. Clarke There was a beautiful wholesale breeze at starting, which rather fell off during the race. A very pretty start was effected by the North Star, Coralie, and Plover ( Ranger did not go). North Star at once took the lead, and left the rest at a great pace ( on a wind), and continued to gain rapidly, and outside the Narrows, on the first tack, when at least half a mile dead to windward, was run hard ashore. So much for the licensed Carnarvon pilots. A very strong tide setting in put her harder aud harder on, where she remained 41 minutes. In the meantime Coralie and Plover continued sailing, which they did for about half an hour, and then anchored in the tide. On the North Star being got out of her difficulty by the steamer, the others slipped, but in about an hour after they were passed by the North Star to windward, who rounded the flag- boat about six minutes ahead of Plover, with Coralie close astern. The run home from this buoy, a distance of about three miles from the starting point, was completed as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. s. I H. M. S. NOSTH STAB .. 4 11 0 | PLOTEB ..

After due consideration on the part of the committee, who consulted other yacht clubs on the subject, it has been deter- mined that the schooner Aquiline forfeits her claim to the prize in consequence of touching a buoy and returning with one man more than she started with, and that the Avalon also forfeits her claim to the prize in consequence of having returned to the goal with one hand short, the man having jumped on board of the Aquiline during the collision. The first prize, therefore, falls to the Rapid, which vessel arrived at the nag ship five seconds after the schooner and three seconds after the Avalon. There being no boat to claim the second prize, it remains ia the hands of the committee, ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA, ( CONCLUDED.) Owing to the programme of the regatta having extended to Friday and Saturday, we were prevented concluding our report of the several matches in our last; and as some few incidents referring to the events of the week have since fallen within our notice, we take cognisance of them by now furnishing our readers with a brief summary of the whole. iAt the time our despatch left) Thursday's proceedings had not terminated, and thay appear to have been as undecided as the elements were an that day. Hard squalls never last loug, is an old adage, and may be well applied on the recent occasion. The regatta was ushered in with splen- did entries, and it would almost appear as if all the energies of the club had been concentrated to the fact of getting up one good day's sport, regardless of the promised events which were to follow; and better would it have been for all parties, both ashore and afloat, that their patience should not have been exacted for six days for that which might have been comfortably got over in half the time, and the public not have been kept in sus- pense to witness what only appeared on paper. The proceedings of the regatta have at length terminated, but we cannot admit that the events of the Victoria week surpassed those of the week previous, furnished by the Royal Yacht Squadron, as may be readily confirmed on comparing notes. The royal regattas of the Solent have been brought to a finish, and the landshore regattas of Seaview, Sandown, Shanklin, and Ventnor are about to follow, for the benefit of both recipients and visitors, all which will be duly recorded at the proper time. MONDAY, AUGUST 10.— The SUBSCBIPTION PEIZE, value £ 100, open to all yachts belonging to a royal yacht club, also foreign yachts, twas sailed for. It was a time race ; half Ackers's scale. Fourteen vessels entered, but in consequence of the Vestal and Thought belonging to one and the same owner, which is contrary to the sailing rules, the Thought was withdrawn, and the other thirteen vessels started, and an exceedingly interest- ing race was the result, a full report of which we gave in our last. The prize was won by Mr Weld's Lulworth, and the amount, £ 100, was awarded to him in the following manner, viz, a silver salver value £ 20, a* d a purse of £ 80. TUESDAY— A SILYEE CUP was presented by F. B. Carew, Esq, to be sailed for by yachts belonging to the club. In this match Mr Carew stipulated that yachts should lie allowed to carry what sail they pleased, and how; time for tonnage; half Ackers's scale was also allowed, atjthe request of the owners of the Vestal and Zouave. For this match there were four entries, but as in the match of yesterday the Thought was withdrawn for the same reason, leaving the Arrow, Zouave, and Vestal to contend for the Cup, which, as we mentioned last week, was won by the Old Arrow, and handed over to Thomas Chamber- layne, Esq, the Vice- Commodore. WEDNESDAY.— This was a dies non so far as racing was concerned. The annual dinner of the members, however, took place in the evening, at the Club House. The Commodore, G. Holland Ackers, Esq, presided at the festive board, and the Vice- Commodore, Thomas Chamberlayne, Esq, ably filled the vice chair. Among those present we find on the list:— A. Arce- deckne, Esq, Commodore of the Royal Harwich Club; Sir Wm. Martins, R. Duff, Esq, Captain Thelluson, B. Roberts, Esq, Richard Arabin, Esq, Sir Gilbert East, Bart, P. O. Shea, Esq, H. Ormsby Rose, Esq, Le Marchant Thomas, Esq, A. Ham- brough, Esq, Captain Woodhouse, Captain Tattnall, Admiral Williams, & c, & c. We need only add that the usual loyal toasts were drunk with enthusiasm, as well as those referring more particularly to the welfare and prosperity of the club. During the evening the Commodore detailed the progress of the club, and adverted to the accident which befel the signalman, Mr Petty, and to the man Harber, on the occasion of firing the salute on the departure of the Emperor and Empress the pre- vious Monday; that a subscription had been opened for the re- lief of Harber, who has lost his right arm in consequence of the accident, and we are happy to state it amounts already to upwards of £ 300. THURSDAY.— A club prize of £ 50, open to all schooners of the R. V. Y. C., also a club prize of £ 50, open to all cutters. For the schooner match, four vessels had entered, but a question arose with reference to the time allowed by Ackers's scale which was objected to by the owners of the | Maraquita aud Zouave, and the consequence was the Vestal and Wildfire were with- drawn. The committee thereupon decided that the Zouave and Maraquita should start by themselves. It waslalso decided that as a sufficient number of yachts had not entered for the cutter race, the Commodore should endeavour to get up an impromptu ( a handioap we presume) for schooners and cutters instead, but his endeavours to do s © were of no avail, aud this match was consequently expunged from the " orders of the. day." The only event which transpired was, that the Zouave and the Maraquita started, and about half an hour; afterwards were brought up on the Dean Sand, " all standing;" the Zouave, however, was for- tunate, after a short sojourn there, to get off, and proceeded to walk over the course. The Maraquita, iu consequence of remain- ing aground such a lengthened time, hauled down her sailing colours. Although the Zouavecontinuedthe course it was doubtfsl whether she would be the winner, owing to the breeze having dropped during the afternoon, which precluded her arriving at the goal before sunset. It appears that when the Zouave was sear Os- borne she was overtaken by the tremendous storm of wind, thun- der, lightning, andrain, which burst over the neighbourhood, and was compelled to dowse all her sails, which considerably re- tarded her progress, and prevented her reaching the goal until some minutes after sunset; three guns having been fired at that time to terminate the race in accordance with the statute in that case made and provided. However, the owner submitted the hardship of the case to the committee, whether, under the circumstances, they would deem it necessary that the Zouave should sail over the course again. Mr Arabin being interested in the question, withdrew from the committee, who, after some considerable discussion, resolved " That the Zouave having ar- rived at the flag- vessel some minutes after sunset, they took it into consideration whether she should be required to sail the course over again, but finding the Maraquita had withdrawnifrom the race, they did not consider it necessary she should do so, and accordingly awarded to the Zouave the prize"— silver salver, value £ 10, and a purse of £ 40. FRIDAY.— The card of this day's sports was wholly confined to boat- racing, chiefly among those belonging to the yachts, and which with Monday's race formed the only two good days' sport of the week. The various matches were well contested, and were won in the order we have described :— FIEST RACE, for yachts' four- oared gigs, belonging to a royal yacht club. First prize £ 4, second £ 2 10s, third £ 1 10s, fourth £ 1. The following were the entries, and which we have arranged in the order of their arrival at the goal:— Maraquita, F. B. Carew, Esq ; Zouave, Richard Arabin, Esq; Eclipse, H. S. Fearon, Esq; Irene, E. C. Scholefield, Esq; Bittern, C. F. Chaffing, Esq. This wassuch anexcellentandwell- contested race, which, in fact, was the case with all of them, that further eulogium is unnecessary. SECOND RACE, yachts' boats, belonging to a R. Y. C., two rowers and a coxswain. Prizes: £ 115s, £ 1,15s, 10s. Won by the Haid6e ( R. W. Wheeler, Esq), beating Vestal, Antelope, Brilliant, Eclipse, Maraquita, Zouave, Shadow, and Caiman. THIED RACE, dir. gy match, two men in each boat, to row as they pleased. Five prizes, from £ 1 5s, on the sliding scale, down to a crown. Won by the Antelope, beating Haid6e, Maraquita, Eclipse, Caiman, and Zouave,; FOUETH RACE, for yachts' four- oared gigs, belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club; first prize £ 4, second £ 210s, third 30s, fourth £ 1, fifth 15s, sixth 10s, seventh 5s:— Maraquita, F. B. Carew, Esq, 1; Beatrice, J. E. W. Rolls, Esq, 2; Irene, E. C. Scholefield, Esq, 3; Caiman, Henry Ormsby Rose, Esq, 4; Shadow, Sir Gilbert East, Bart, 5; Zouave, R, Arabin, Esq, 6 ; Brilliant, Commodore Ackers, 7. Iu the evening the Royal Victoria Yacht Club ball took place at the club- house, at which upwards of 400 of the beau monde were present. Saturday, by way of finale to the week, the Commodore despatched all the boats of the Brilliant ( about seven) for a handicap, twice round the course. This affair appears to have been observed by the Zouave, whose boats immediately gave chase. The sight, we are informed, afforded a great deal of sport, and was witnessed by several hundreds who had congre- gated on the Royal Pier. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD REGATTA- Under the patronage of his Worship the Mayor of Manchester, Sir James Watts, Knight, the Right Hon the Earl of Elles- mere, Sir H. De Trafford, Bart, Sir Harry Smith, Bart, G. C. B., Lieut- Col Hodge and officers of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoons, Lieut- Col Hort and officers of the 36th Regiment, T. Booth, Esq, E. Booth, Esq, and Daniel Lee, Esq. Stewards : Messrs B. P. Baumgarten ( 4th Dragoon Guards), J. Nottidge, P. H. Paris, J. Harapson, S. Cheetham, and T. O'Keefe. Judge : A. Hutton, Esq. In introducing to the notice of our readers, at the expiration of another year, the proceedings in connection with this regatta, we cannot refrain from saying that there would almost appear to be a certainty of success, when Manchester, with her well- known perseverence aud determination, applies her energies to the task— as, of late years, the accomplishment of objects, here first originated, have given to old Mancumium a world- wide fame. Not only during that period have her denizens given their united, hearty, and successful support to the alleviation of the burthens which pressed so heavily upon the popula- tion of this country— aud also aided, firmly and determinedly, to bring to a successful issue a just war— but their industry in the promotion of the arts of peace, a brilliant monument ( the Art Treasures Exhibition) now rearing its head in that city, has earned for them an enduring fame. Whilst many of the vast population of Manchester diligently pursue their daily avoca- tions in dingy and massive factories, whose tall chimneys so fre- quently form subject for remark to the stranger, and others follow their callings in those lofty piles of handsome warehouses — even with this close application to business, a large majority of these sous of toil yield to the inhabitants of no other town in the kingdom in their admiration of sport, both on land and water. For them the regatta possesses considerable allurements, and we now proceed to notice the events in connection with the one just brought to a close on the Irwell. These aquatic amuse- ments have on previous occasions generally been fixed for the first week in August, but this year, in order to give the crews jssrho had contended at the " Great National" on the Thames sufficient time to recruit their energies, it was deferred for a fortnight, and it took place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes- day last. Since this regatta was undertaken by new and supe- rior management iu 1855, it has assumed, and is justly entitled, to rank higher in aquatic annals than formerly, and the pro- gramme put forth this year was the best that has yet been issued. The entry embraced the local crews of the Nemesis, Minerva, Elswick, Shakspere, and Goldfinder, the noted Claspers of the Tyne of Newcastle, Messrs Casamajor, Playford, Paine, and Not- tidge, of London, & c. The course was from Throstle Nest to a buoy fixed near Regent- road Bridge and back, a distance of about two miles. If we might be permitted to give a hint to the committee, it would be, instead of having so many contests for small events, to increase the value of the prizes and reduce the number of races. But leaving them to deal with this, though much more might be said in favour of such change, we now proceed to notice the sport of MONDAY.— The company present was exceedingly numerous, each bank of the Irwell being lined with spectators. The grand stand was placed upon the land of Mr Beardsley, adjacent to the Pomona Gardens, and the excellent band attached to that agreeable resort gave an iclat to the proceedings. The first event was fixed for two o'clock, and came off as follows :— The IEWELL STAKES of £ 8, open to men resident in and within 100 miles of Manchester; a pair- oared race, in four- oared gigs not exceeding 26ft 6in, with coxswains; first boat, £ 5; second, £ 2; third, £ 1; entrance, 5s. FIRST HEAT. SHAKSPEBE— S. Wood, H. Ault ( stroke), J. Richardson ( cox) 1 GOLDFINDEB— G. Handley, F. Hagges ( stroke), J. Sweeney QUEBI? OF THE IRWELL— E, Barratt, F. G. Barratt ( stroke), J. Barratt ( cox) 0 The Queen of the Irwell led by half a length, S'aakspeare second, and Goldfinder last. The boats first named reached the buoy nearly together, and here the Queen of the Irwell fouled the Shakspere, who was then leading. Consequent upon this, though the Queen came in first, she was disqualified, and the stakes awarded to the Shakspere. SECOND HEAT. THE FIVE FRIENDS— J. Cronshaw, J. Williams ( stroke), W. Postlethwaite ( cox) 1 THE EUGENIE— H. Addy, R, Brown ( stroke), J. Addy ( cox).. 2 The Five Friends went away with the lead, but the Eugenie passed them opposite the Stand, both crews pulling lustily. The Friends first got round the buoy, and shortly afterwards Addy, the coxswain of the Eugenie, was seized with a fit, and was put ashore; but notwithstanding the delay, the Five Friends only won by a boat's length. Time: 14min 20sec. DECIDING HEAT. THE SHAKSPBRE 11 THE FIVE FRIENDS 2 They got off on equal terms, at a rattling pace, and kept nearly together until arriving at the gardens. At this point the Shaks- pere boat got in front, was not afterwards headed, and won by five lengths. Time: 13min 18sec. The heat for the third prize was won by Eugenie, by three lengths. The OEDSALL PEIZE of 10 sovs, given by Mr B. Lang, the pro- prietor of the Ordsall Gardens, in wager boats; open to the world ; first boat £ 7, second £ 2, third £ 1; entrance 10s. FIRST HEAT. THE SHAKSPEBE, Manchester— S. Wood 1 THE FIVE FRIENDS, Manchester— G. Williamson 2 Wood and Williamson started bow and bow, but a foul taking place before they reached the Pomona Gardens, the bell was rung for them to return. They did so, and at the second attempt Williamson took the advance by half a length, but did not round his buoy, or if he did, it was on the wrong side, and hence Wood being close, he fouled. Williamson came in first by three lengths, but the heat was awarded to Wood, SECOND HEAT. THE Si AGNES, New castle— J. H. Clasper . walked over. THIBD HEAT. THE TYNE, Newcastle— R. Chambers 1 THE ELIZABETH, Manchester— F. G. Barratt ,. 2 For this heat a capital start was effected, and the race, for some distance, was an interesting one. On passing the gardens Chambers got in front, and though Barratt used all his energies, he was defeated by three boat's lengths. FINAL HEAT. THE TYNB— R. Chambers 11 THE ST AGNES— J. H. Clasper .. 2 In this contest Chambers had it evidently for a time all his own way, though the " feathered oar" of Clasper was hard at work, but ultimately failed, Chambers winning by a length and a half. The VXCTOEIA PEIZE of £ 15, open to men resident in and within 100 miles of Manchester, in four- oared boats of any length; first boat £ 12, second £ 2, third £ 1; entrance 10s. THE SHAKSPEBE— E. Barratt, G. Barratt, H. Ault, S. Wood ( stroke), J. Richardson ( cox) 1 THE GOLDFINDEB— C. Ashton, R. Westwood, F. Hagges, G. Handley ( stroke), J. Sweeney ( cox) 2 THE FIVE FRIENDS— G. Williamson, R. Brown, J. Williame, J. Cronshaw ( stroke), W. Postlethwaite ( cox) 0 On the pistol being fired the Shakspere took a slight lead, the Five Friends lying second, and Goldfinder in the rear. The Five Friends first turned the buoy, but owing to the swell in the river it had floated from its original position, and this caused the crew to run the bow of their boat against tha embankment wall. They rowed gallantly down the river for home; but opposite the minor stand the boat sank, but the crew suffered no further injury than that of a " ducking," The ELLESMEBE CUP, value £ 25, including silver medals, open to the world; to be rowed and steered by gentlemen amateurs, in four- oared boats of any length; entrance 1 guinea.

Pell 2 Each heat was won easily, and the deciding heat was fixed for the following day. WEDNESDAY.— This was the great day of the week, inas- much as this afternoon the principal prize had to be contended for, viz, the Pomona Champion Prize of £ 50, the liberal gift of Mr Beardsley, the proprietor of the Gardens. The spectators on the banks were more numerous than yesterday, but fell short of the attendance of Monday. The first event arranged to come off to- day was the deciding heat for the Junior Scullers Prize :— THE CARELESS J. Birch 11 THE CONFIDENCE. H. Lang 2 The contest throughout was a good one, aud Birch woa the race by about two lengths. The BEIDGEWATEE STAKES of £ 7, open to men resident within 100 miles of Manchester ; first boat £ 5, second £ 2 ; entrance 5s. FIRST HEAT. THE ALERT— J. Rhodes, J. Pimm, T. Brophy, W.

M'Cabe, Job Wood ( stroke), H. Daley ( cox) 2 The Goldfinder led, first got round the buoy, and won by a length and a half. FINAL HEAT. ALEBT 11 GOLDFINDBB 2 This contest excited considerable interest amongst the by- standers, and the Alert got best off, though the Goldfinder was close up. The Alert, however, soon began to gain upon her op- ponent, and was declared the winner of the Bridgewater Stakes by four lengths. The GOLD SCULLS, value £ 5, open to the world; for gentlemen amateurs; in wager boats; entrance half a guinea. FIRST HEAT. THETIS, the Minerva Rowing Club | Mr E. Birch. w 0 SECOND HEAT. THAMES, the London Rowing Club— Mr J. Paine 1 NEMESIS, the Nemesis Bowing Club— Mr T. O'Keefe 2 It soon became evident that Mr O'Keefe had met his superior, and Mr Paine won as he pleased. FINAL HEAT. THETIS 11 THAMES 2 Mr Birch, in the Thetis, pulled with considerable vigour, and won easily, his victory over Mr Paine being hailed with consi- derable applause. Next came the chief event of the week, namely, The POMONA CHAMPION PEIZE of £ 50, given by Mr Beards- ley, the proprietor of the Pomona Gardens ; open to the world ; first boat £ 40, second £ 8, third £ 2 ; entrance £ 1. FIRST HEAT. THE SHAKSPEBE— H. Ault, S. Wood, E. Winship, T. Bruce ( stroke), J. Richardson ( cox) 1 THE ST AGNES— J. H. Clasper, A. Maddison, R. Cham- bers, H. Cla3per ( stroke), J. Taylor ( cox) 2 The crew of the Shakspere was composed of Aulf;, Wood, Win- ship, and Bruce, and though their formidable opponents hail from the banks of the Tyne of Newcastle, many were of opinion ( as the sequel proved) that the Shakspere would prove victo- rious. The betting at start was 6 to 4 on the St Agnes, and at start the Shakspere took a slight lead, but when opposite the stand Maddison ( iu the St Agnes) broke his oar. They were then called back, and on another start being made, the Shaks- pere once more took the lead, and first turned the buoy. Here the St Agnes came against the Shakspere, and smashed her tiller, and she consequently lost some advantage. Her crew, however, rowed on, and won by two lengths. Time, 12min 25sec. SECOND HEAT. The FIVE FBIENDS— G. Williamson, J. Cronshaw, J. Wil- liams, M. Taylo- ( stroke), W. Postlethwaite ( cox) 1 THE GOLDFINDEB- C. Ashton, R. Westwood, F. Hagges, G. Handley ( stroke), J. Sweeney ( cox) 2 In this heat the Five Friends won easily. FINAL HEAT. FIVE FBIENDS 11 SHAKSPBBE 2 Betting: 4 and 5 to 1 on the Shakspere crew. The favourite got a slight advantage at start, but the Five Friends first got round the buoy, and frosa this point they appeared to have the race iw hand, and won by six lengths, the time occupied having been 12min 23sec. Loud plaudits greeted the Five Friends 011 rowing in. The NEMESIS PUESE of £ 8; open to men resident in and within 100 miles of Manchester; first boat £ 5, second £ 2, third £ 1; entrance, 5s. FIEST HEAT. THE ELIZABETH, Manchester— F. G. Barratt 1 THE LIGHT DRAGOON, Manchester— E. Barratt 2 Though these opponents are brothers, they each struggled hard for " the pride of place," aiad the contest was an interesting one ; ultimately Mr F. G. Barratt won by two lengths. SECOND HEAT. THE SHAKSPERB, Manchester— S. Wood walked over FINAL HEAT. ELIZABETH 11 SHAKSPBBE 2 Won easily. Our notice of the regatta having now extended further than originally intended, we must close it by acknowledging the courtesy of Messrs Paris, Cheetham, O'Keefe, Beardsley, and Hampson, and can only express the hope that the entries iu future years ( added to talent on water), may not cause them to regret the active and laudable exertions they have made this week to promote the success of the Manchester and Salford Regatta of 1857. BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB. The third sailing match of the season, and fourth prize given by this olub, came off on Saturday, Aug 15, the prize being the Challenge Cup, value £ 50, with £ 5 added, the conditions being that it must be won two consecutive seaseus by the same owner to entitle the winner to the ownership. This cup has now been contested for five times, and as it has been won according to the conditions, we append a slight description of it. It forms a handsome centre dish or epergue ; Neptune, with his trident, stands by the pedestal; the base forms a triangle, at each corner a seated mariner holds in his hand a wreath of victory. The pieee of plate cost 50 guineas, which was subscribed by the mem- bers of the club, and was from the celebrated manufactory of F. L. Hansburgh, of Church- street, Liverpool. It was first con- tested on the 18th of Sept, 1853, and was won by Mr Bower's yacht Presto, beating six others. The next contest was on the 16th Sept, 1854, when it was won by the Electric, Mr Wilkinson, by 36 seconds. Mr Bower again won the cup on the 5th Sept, 1855, with the Spray, winning by 12 seconds. On the 23d Aug, 1856, it was won by Mr Wilkinson's yacht Glide, by 10 seconds; and this year was won by the same gentleman's yacht Snake, by minutes, beiag the easiest victory iu the cup's short career. Mr Wilkinson, who has a thorough yachtsman's spirit, was absent, having gone to Alexandria for the recovery of his health. After this brief digression we proceed to record the incidents of the race. The following yachts came to the starting post :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. BUILDEB. CHARM 74 .... J. Poole Kelly. SNAKE 74 .... T. Wilkinson Owner. GLIDE 74 .... T. Wilkinson Owner. MAYFLOWER.... 7 .... G. Harrison, V. C. .. Owner. PHANTOM 7 .... D. Morrison J. Morrison. One of the Woodside steamers accompanied the match, leaving the Woodside Pier shortly after two o'clock, when the Rear- Commodore having given the signal, the gun was fired, and the start was effected at 2: 31, as follows : Phantom, Charm, Snake, Glide, Mayflower. While passing the Birkenhead Ferry, the Phantom, looking and going like a winner, unfortunately lost her mast about four feet below the hounds, and her snowy can- vas fell into the deep. The Charm now took the lead for a short time, but was soon afterwards passed by the Snake, which re- tained the lead until the termination of the match. The East- ham Flag- boat was passed as follows :— H. M. S. | H. M. S. I H. M. S. SNAKE 3 11 10 CHABM 3 12 39 MAYFLOWER .. 3 14 20 GLIDE 8 12 0 | | Soon after rounding the Charm touched the bank two or three times, when the Mayflower took third place, thcDingle Boat being rounded. h. M. s. I H. M. s. I H. M. S. SNAKB 8 87 30 MAYFLOWEB .. 3 41 6 CHABM 3 v. 7 GLIDB 3 40 9 I | The Charm did not seem to go so well as usual, and it was ru- moured that she had not so much ballast on board, a » d there- fore did not hold so good a wind. The same remark will also apply to the Glide. Little change occurred, the Eastham Flag- boat being rounded as follows :— H. M. s. | H. M. s. I H. M^ S SNAKB 8 5A 9 MAYFLOWER . .3 59 30 CHABM 3 59 57 GLIDE 3 57 45 | The wind being on the beam the whole course, it was manifest that the one which rounded the Eastham Flag- boat the first must wiu, accidents excepted, and this match may be taken as a fair criterion of their running qualities. The Dingle Boat was rounded for the last time in the following order :— H. M. S. I H. M. 8. I H. M. s. SNAKB 4 21 32 MAYFIOWER .. 4 26 15 CHARM 4 27 21 GLIDE 4 25 28 | Soon after rounding, the Mayflower shifted jibs, which occu- pied so much time that the Oharm again took third place, the match finishing as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. SNAKE 4 46 57 CHARM 4 51 85 MAYFLOWER . .4 57 0 GLIDE 4 58 27 I | The Snake being hailed the victor by six minutes and a half. This is the quickest race ever run by the club, the course of about twenty miles being run over by the winning boat in 2h 13min 57sec, and when we mention that the yachts started with the early flood, and that full half the distance was against a strong tide, our readers may imagine the speed they sailed at. The Cup was presented to Mr Wilkinsou, jun, by the Rear- Com- modore in a few happy remarks, in which he traced the progress of the club from its small beginning to the position it at present occupies, concluding by wishing health and happiness to its possessor. Mr Wilkinson, jun, responded, and invited the ladies to pledge success to the club in champagne, and thus terminated the season of 1857. There was a large attendance on board the steamer, and the company were enlivened by the strains of music from Mr Phillips's band. The refreshments were provided by Mr Anderson, of the Merchants' Dining Rooms, in his usual recherche style. Among tlie yachts in company were the cele- brated Coraiie, and the Vice- Commodore's yacht North Star, which had just arrived from their contest at Carnarvon. HOWTH AND BALDOYLE REGATTA. This rapidly rising little meeting, which bids fair to become one of the fixtures of the Irish Channel, came off on Wednesday and Thursday, the 12th and 13th August. There was a nu- merous attendance of royal burgees, and we have little doubt of the Howth Regatta becoming one of the most favourite iu the Channel, for the management is good, the course a very fair one, and the scenery most charming. His Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant honoured the gay scene with his presence, and was received by the Earl of Howth. The first race on Wednesday was for the Cup, value 40 guineas, for yachts not exceeding 35 tons, a time race, for which the following vessels were entered :— NAME, TONS. OWNER. NAME. TONS. OWNER. METEOR 20.. J. Duckworth. Esq VIGILANT.. 824.. J. C. Atkins, Esq KELPIB .... 22 . T. Robinson, Esq BANBA .... 20 .. W. J. Doherty, Esq ATALANTA. .27.. H. Scovell, Esq Shortly before twelve o'clock an excellent start was effected. There was a fresh breeze at S. S. E., accompanied by occasienal showers. The first part of the course the Vigilant showed her speed, with the Atalanta in close attendance, followed at in- tervals of a few seconds by the Kelpie and Banba. In the second rounding the Atalanta had to succumb to the Kelpie, who now challenged the Vigilant, and, after a beautifully- contested match, they arrived at the flag. ship in the following order and times:— H ® M S « F HT M, S. I H « M S* VIGILANT .... 5' 18* 45 ATALANTA ,... 5' 26' 55 BANBA 5 40' 0 KELPIE 5 28 48 | | The Kelpie was declared the winner in time. The second race was for a Purse of £ 10, for yachts not ex- ceeding 12 tons, when the following came to tbe buoys :— YACHT, TONS. OWNER. FLIRT.... 8 .. R. Battley, Esq SYBIL. ... 84.. T. W.

Capt Byrne The breeze at starting was very fresh, and some of the smaller clippers gave plenty of opportunity to the spectators to examine the depth of their keels ; in sporting parlance, they went away with their heads down and tails up, all in a ruck, until passing Ireland's Eye, when the Virago, Bijou, and Flirt drew out, closely attended by the Dove. The Sybil was the first to come to grief, carrying away her topsail yard. After passing the first flag- boat, the wind died away considerably, and the Bijou went into the first place. The Flirt next collared the Virago, and, after a tidy turn to windward, a very pretty match was finished in the following order and time :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. | H. M. S. BIJOU 4 19 12 VIRAGO 4 so 18 SYBIL 4 86 30 FLIRT 4 29 48 I DOVE 4 32 21 1 ELBCTBIC .... 4 37 16 The Scamp was disabled. The next raoe was for a purse of £ 10 for four- oared gigs, to be rowed and steered by gentlemen. Two boats started, viz, No 1, Una, University Rowing Club; No 2, Undine, pri- vate crew. There was a very high sea on, and both boats made gallant work of it up to the first flag- boat, the Undine leading, when the Una was struck by a heavy sea, an « 3 over she went; the Undine immediately returned to her assistance, but to meet the same fate, as she too was filled, and, with her crew, lay floundering in the merciless briny. Several yachts' gigs and other boats pulled rapidly to the rescue, and the rowers were speedily rescued. We cannot omit to mention the conduct of the Rev Mr Robinson, of the Kelpie ; he was passing the flag- boat at the time, engaged in and winning the 40 guiueaCup, but immediately he perceived the accident he hove his vessel to, and prepared to lower his gig to the rescue. The University Rowing Club crew, however, shouted to him that they were all safe, and to go on with his race, which he did, and won it, al- though losing fully three minutes by his gallant conduct. Several rowing matches by yachts' gigs and fishermen wound up the sports of the day, THURSDAY.— On the second day the weather was parti- cularly fine, and very light winds. The first race was for the Howth Cup, value £ 30, for yachts not exceeding 35 tons; a time race. At one o'clock the storting gun was fired, when the following vessels started:— NAME. TONS. ATALANTA.. 27 .. VIGILANT .. 32|.. BANBA 20 OWNER, H. Scovell, Esq J. C. Atkins W. J. Doherty NAME. TONS. DOYB 12 ., BIJOU 10 .. VIRAGO .. 0WN1B. T. Keogh. R. D. Kane Capt Byrne The Basba took the lead, followed by the Vigilant, Viragcf, and Atalanta. The first flag- boat was taken by the Vigilant, closely followed by the Banba, Atalanta, and Bijou. The Vigilant from this moment preserved her lead all round, and after a very pretty finish in a fresh nor- west breeze, the flag- ship was passed as follows:— HT M, S » I H S. I SMS VIGILANT .... 7' 16* 3 BANBA 7* 36' 15 BIJOU 7* 48' 0 ATALANTA.... 7 22 401 I The Banba, according to the terms stated, was declared the winner. We should be sorry to see such terms again 011 yacht racing cards ; they are much more adapted for the turf than for yachtsmen, as they are likely to be productive of much alter- cation and annoyance. The second race was for a purse of £ 10 for yachts not exeeeding 10 tons, a time race, for which came to the starting buoys— NAMB. TONS. OWN SR. FLIRT .... 8 .. R. Battley. EI SYBIL .... 84.. T. W.

This little vessel will HO doubt tee recognised as an old friend by our DARTMOUTH ROYAL ERGATTA. Stewards: Sir H, P, Seale, Bart, Jas, Caird, Esq, M. P, W. S Lindsay, Esq, M. P, C. S. Hayne, Esq, Carew Hunt, Esq, H Studdy, Esq, H. L. Toll, Esq, Lieut Arkwright. Esq, R. W. Y. C, E. M. Shaw, Esq, R. W. Y. C, and J. R. Davy, Esq. The locality of Dartmouth is singularly picturesque, and con- sequently highly attractive. Situate 011 the estuary of the river which springs from the summit ef the heath, Chadmoor, from which it takes its name, the town is approached by laud over tower- ing hills, and through luxuriant dales, and bv water from Totnes, along the English Rhine, a name which is not inappropriately be- stowed upon the Dart, by reason of the majesty and grandeur of the woodland and rocky scenery through which it flows. The western tourist never completes his ramble without a visit to the spot which nature has endowed with such varied attractions, and whose fame has reached the poles in the classic strains of Dartmoor's native poets. Subsidiary attractions are not wanted to invite the pleasure seeker to this remote, and somewhat isolated corner of the fair and fertile county of Devon. Still, for many years past, the inhabitants of Dartmouth have treated themselves annually to a series of aquatic sports, and have given a cordial welcome to all who came to share with them the excitement of the holiday, and as each recurring year brings with it additional success, the liberality of the townspeople continues ; pari passu with their prosperity, and the consequence is a steadily increasing fund at the disposal of the committee. The chief features of the sports on Tuesday were rowing matches. An acute angle at the opening to the channel shuts out the view completely from the town, and it being felt that yacht sailing would deprive some thousands of persons of the pleasure of wit- nessing the races were yachts brought into competition, the bulk of the money is distributed in prizes for rowing boats, one prize alone being 25 sovs. The only prizes given for sailing were £ 3 for barges, and £ 4 for fishermen's boats. The day was highly favourable, a moderate breeze from the N. N. W., just enough for the barges and the fishermen, aud most re- freshing to those who would otherwise been almost baked in the sun's rays, did not at all interfere with the rowing matches. Of townspeople visitors the attendance was tremen- dous. Excursion trains to Totnes brought more people to Dart- mouth than the steam- boats and every available craft would convey, and the consequence was much disappointment and grumbling on the part of those who had to remain behind. The Industry, from Teignmouth, and the Sir Francis Drake, from Plymouth, conveyed huge living cargoes, whilst several yachts contributed their quotas of fair and fashionable visitors. Among the yachts we noticed Earl Mount Edgcumbe's steamer Mist, the Ethel ( Capt Bayley), the Daring ( A. Fotheriugham, Esq), the Whim ( G. Tanner, Esq), the Fawn ( H. Fillis, Esq), Rover ( E. Shaw, Esq), May Queen ( H. Nichols, Esq), and the Water Kelpie ( Captain Henry). In addition to the aquatic sports, there were shore attractions of the usual character. It is customary at Dartmouth to inaugurate the sports with a race which is generally provocative of considerable mirth. Prizes are given to sailing barges, their crews being permitted to use every means which ingenuity can devise to propel their vessels. When the wind lulled the men brought their physical energies to bear, and the cumbrous boats were thrust along with a velocity which was tnuly surprising. Seven barges competed, and the four prizes were won by Alarm, Undaunted, Lydia, and Industry, in the order we have given them. FOUE SOVS, for sailing boats belonging to the port or to. Torbay, — There were eleven entries : The Dilly, Why Not, Industry, Match, Starlight, Nonsuch, and Victoria, of Dartmouth ; the Swallow, of Slapton; Pass By, of Tar Cross ; and Cloud and Tiger, of Hallsaud. A capital start was effected at 10: 45. The little fleet kept well together till rounding the first mark boat, when Industry took a decided lead, followed in about 15 seconds by Tiger, and the others well up. In this order they raced for some distance, and passed the committee's boat in the first round in the following order:— Industry, llh lOmin ; Tiger, llh lOmin 30sec; Victoria, llh 12min; Nonsuch, llh 12min 25sec; Starlight, llh 12min 27sec. The closeness of the contest occa- sioned great excitement, and the thousands of eyes afloat and ashore followed the track of the boats with evident interest. Beating up against the wind tested as well the seamanship of the men and the sailing qualities of their craft. In tacking there was a change of position, Tiger taking the first placef with In- dustry keeping close company. The Cloud had now got up, and occupied the third position, Starlight fourth. In this order they passed the committee's boat on their way down, and at length came home as follows: — Tiger, 12h 36min ; Industry, 12h 38min 16sec; Cloud, 12h 39min 30sec; Nonsuch, 12h 40min lOsec; Victoria, 12h 40min 38sec; Starlight, 12h 41min SOsee. The MEMBEES' PUESE of 10 sovs, for four- oared gigs, to be rowed by persons resident within the limits of the port and Tdr- bay ; first prize £ 5 10s, second £ 3 5s, third £ 1 5s. The entries for this were Maid of the Mill, Lightning, and Glance, of Dart- mouth ; Omar Pasha, and Pixy, of Kingsweer. This was the best contested race of the day. Glance went off with a slight lead, followed by Maid of the Mill and Lightning. They had not proceeded far when the latter boats fouled, which checked them a little a lid permitted Omar Pasha to take the second place. The Turk gradually gained upon the Glance, and as they came up past the committee's barge was half a boat's length iu front, the Lightning second, and Glance third— by this time Glance and Maid of the Mill were beaten off. After a most exciting struggle during the second round, Omar Pasha came in a win- ner by two boats' length, Lightning second, Glance a bad third ; the others no where. Six SOVS for four- oared pilot boats belonging to the port and to Torbay ; first prize £ 4, second £ 1 10s, third 103. Three en- tered, all Dartmouth boats, Blink Bonny, Dove, and Magpie. Blink Bonny did not maintain her right to assume the name of the renowned mare, for she was very soon beaten. Magpie won by about four lengths. The crew of the Dove had the misfor- tuny to break two thowls, one just at starting, and the second when about half round the course. The GEAND CHALLENGE PEIZE of 25 sovs, for four- oard gigs, open to the world; first prize £ 15, second £ 7, third £ 3. " The world," however, did not accept the invitation. The entries were— Maid of the Mill, Omar Pasha, Lightning, Glance, and the Alpha ( iron boat) of Plymouth. The crews of the first four boats were changed, and picked hands selected to struggle for the grand places. The boats had not gone half way round the course before the winner could ( bar accidents) be picked out to a dead certainty. Lightning took the lead, kept it throughout, and came in an easy winner by several lengths; the Glance se- cond, three lengths in advance of Omar Pasha; Maid of tbe Mill was a long way behind, and Alpha retired from the contest after going once round. THEEE SOVS were offered for four- oared boats, rowed by women. A couple of crews from Saltash, famous for their prowess and skill, made it doubtful whether the race would fill, as the Dittsham women did not appear to relish the competition. The company, however, made an addition to the fund of 3 sovs more, giving £ 3 to the first, £ 2 to second, and £ 1 to third. This had the desired effect. It was soon evident that the Saltash dames had the advantage in every respect, but the Dittsham women got their sovereign, and this, with their proverbial good temper, prevented any manifestation of acerbity, even if it really existed. FIVE SOYS, for four- oared yacht- boats, to be rowed by their own crews; first prize £ 3 10s, second £ 1 10s. The entries were— Mist ( Lord Monut Edgcumbe), Fawn ( H. Fillis, Esq), and Daring ( A. Fotheringham, Esq). There was nothing in this ra « e to call for comment. Daring took the lead and kept it, beating Mist by 14 seconds; the Fawn a long way astern. A SILYEE CUP, the gift of Admiral Sir Thos. Herbert, K. C. B., open to all the world. To be rowed by amateur crews, in four- oared gigs. The entries were— Maid of the Mill, Lightning, Omar Pasha, and Alpha. The first round was closely contested by Maid of the Mill and Omar Pasha, who passed the commit- tee's barge together. After a few strokes, however, the Maid shot ahead, was never again fetched, and won by several lengths, Some minor races and the shore amusements terminated a happy festival at Dartmouth. The arrangements of the committee were excellent, and pre- vented the least confusion. Mr H. Nicholls, the Clerk of the Henry, W. Shorland, S. Cheetham ( stroke), J. H. dor- rocks ( cox) 8 This contest— metropolitan and provincial skill being brought in juxta- position— was looked to with no ordinary amount of interest. The betting was 2 to 1 on the London men. The Minerva cut out the work, followed by London, the Nemesis bringing up the rear. On turning the buoy the London boat got in front, and on their return they plied their oars in earnest, and eventually won easily by three lengths, the Nemesis being beaten four lengths for second place. Time, 15min 30sec. This concluded the sport of the day at ten minutes to eight o'clock. TUESDAY.— On account of the number of events to be de- cided, the opening contest of to- day was fixed for one o'clock, and, though the same beautiful weather continued, there was a visible diminution in the attendance. The first race was for The AUSTIN PEIZE of £ 510s, open to crews resident in and within 100 miles of Manchester; first boat £ 4, second £ 1, third 10s ; entrance 5s. FIRST HEAT, THB ALBBT— J.

THB ALERT 11 THE EMPBESS 3 THE GOLDFINDBB 2 | The Alert led by half a length, but on passing the Grand Stand Goldfinder shot her bow in advance, the Empress holding centre position, and then being a length behind the Alert. Prior to reaching the buoy the Alert again took the lead, first rounded it, was not again headed, and won easily. The TEAFIOED PAEK STAKES of £ 12, open to the world; first boat £ 10, second £ 2 ; entrance 10s. FIRST HBAT. THB FIVE FB ENDS.— M. Taylor, J. . Williams ( stroke), W.

Richardson ( cox) 3 This promised to be a good contest, but a foul took place at the buoy by the Shakspere running into the Victoria ; and though the latter ( after the Shakspere gave up) raced for victory, the St Agnes was declared the winner. DECIDING HEAT. ST AGNES 11 ELSWICK 2 | FIVE FRIENDS.. 3 The betting for some time was 6 to 4 011 the St Agnes, but prior to start even wagers were laid on the " field." The Five Friends made play by half a length, the Elswick holding second position, and the favourite last. The St Agnes first reached the buoy, having passed her opponents opposite the Pomona Gardens, and here the Five Friends fouled the Elswick. After a good struggle down the river the St Agnes won, and the Five Friends, though they came in next, were disqualified, and the second prize was awarded to the Elswick crew. The BEACKLEY CUP, value £ 10, open to the world; entrance 1 guinea. LONDON, London Rowing Club— Messrs J. Nottidge, A. A. Casamajor ( stroke), H. Weston ( cox) 1 STIBLINI, Minerva Rowing Club— Messrs J. Hamilton. E, Birch ( stroke), J.

THE FIVE FRIBNDS 11 THE SHAKSPBBB 0 The Shakspere led, but prior to reaching the Pomona Gardens the Five Friends took the lead, one of the Shakspere crew ( Ault). having broken an outrigger, and throwing out their chance of success.

A. 1- irv USfl nr « o - nnno nrlnti: ANTWERP REGATTA. Owing to a number of English crews having entered to row at this regatta, an immense number of spectators assembled to witness the various contests. There were seven races in the programme, five of which came off. The first was a pair- oared race amongst natives in their own heavy boats. A lour- oared race, in Belgian- built boats, followed, for which five crews started, viz, the Lambeth, the Wandsworth, the London ( mixed), the Ostend, and Amsterdam. They came in as follows :— WANDSWORTH 11 LAMBETH 4 AMSTERDAM 2 I OSTEND 5 LONDON ( mixed) 3 | The London crew were given the second prize in consequence of the Amsterdam boat touching a buoy. After a sailing match and a race by boys in four- oared boats, came the great race, for which there were six crews stationed as follows :— L AMBMS red 1 j OSTEND 4 LoNDON( mixed) white 2 AMSTERDAM .. ted and blue 5 WANDSWORTH. . red & white 3 | ROTTERDAM .. red & yellow 6 In consequence of coming to ww in a different boat than the one they entered, the Osteud crew were not allowed to start. The Lambeth crew got badly off. They all rowed very close together, the London leading, but not getting much advantage. The three London crews were in advance at the first turn, pre- vieus to which some fouling took place between the Lambeth and London. On returning past the stand the Wandsworth had a good lead, Lambeth second, and the London close behind. They reached the winning post in the following order :— WANDSWORTH 11 AMSTERDAM 4 LAMBBTH 2 ROTTERDAM 5 LONDON ( mixed) 3 | The London crew objected to the Lambeth reeeiving the second prize, in consequence oi' having taken the wrong side of a vessel shortly after passing the stand, and after hearing evi- dence, the umpire decided against Lambeth, thus awarding the second prize to the London ( mixed) crew in this race also. The prize for the yachts was not sailed for, owing to a deficiency of entries. TIME FOR TONNAGE. ME EDITOE: The manifesto against " time for tonnage" in your number of the 9th having remained without reply, I beg to submit the following considerations in opposition to " A Yachts- man." I shall only notice the preposterous case he puts of H. M. S. Superb having to allow a yacht of ordinary size'thirty- five hours in a six hours' race, by observing that, if-" this very amusing arithmetical problem" be a " characteristic creation of a futile imagination," the problematist is none other than your correspondent; Ackers's scale being intended to overcome an existing difficulty, not to provide for improbable absurdities. Let us, therefore, leave vain imaginings for sober fact, and con- sider, firstly, the purposes for which yacht prizes are given, and, secondly, the probabie result of enforcing your correspondent's devoutly wished- for consummation, of giving all such prizes to the '' best" yacht, by which I understand him to mean the fastest and best model of a certain tonnage, though what that tonnage should be " A Yachtsman" sayeth not. 1 will assume that in a club there are three cutters of 100,150, aad 200 tons respectively, and that the largest of these is, according to " A Yachtsman's" classification, the " best." Will he assert that it is the interest or intention of either the State or of yacht clubs to reward the larger vessel to the discouragement and suppression of the smaller oaes ? Surely he will admit that; all. encouragement to yachting has a broader purpose, and that it is politic, as well as just, to consider the numerous 30- tonners, with their small contribution to a naval reserve, as well as the more favoured, but rarer, owner of thousands a year, and hundreds of tons. Your correspondent may say, " Class yachts, and let those of nearly equal tonnage sail together;" but this is possible only in clubs having a very numerous fleet of vessels, and not always then; as for example— at the R. Y. S. match for the Queen's Cup, for cutters under 100 tons, where the Lulworth of 80 tons obtained so ea* « y a victory over three others, averaging about 54 tons each, that it was said by some of her crew no judgment of her speed could be formed until tried against something more on an equality with her. Again, at Ryde, the only match of the slightest interest was the £ 100 Subscription Prize, time for tonnage, and open to all clubs, for which the unprecedented number of thirteen vessels sailed; whereas on the next day, the only yachts entered for tha very handsome Cup presented to the club by Mr Carew refused to start unless allowed time by the Arrow— an arrangement which was come to at the eleventh hour, when that vessel and two schooners started, leaving several others behind, who would have accepted the amended conditions had the oppor- tunity been afforded them. For the third prize the small schooners also refused to go without time, leaving the race to be " walked over" by Zouave, whose only competitor, Maraquita, got onshore; and for the fourth prize there wasnorace, the small cutters refusing to sail without time against Arrow. Here are the two systems in work. The refusal to sail against Arrow is a plain acknowledgment of her superiority over smaller vessels like Whirlwind, of 77, and Extravaganza of 48 tons. Would your correspondent therefrom deduce that the prizes should be presented to her owner ? Surely not! The intention of those subscribing to the regatta fund was probably to encourage yachts of various sizes, and to afford themselves the amusement of a well- contested race, not to present a testimonial to one ves- sel, however superlatively praiseworthy among those of her class, as your correspondent will, I am confident, allow the Arrow to be. If the " best" vessel is to win, she must have competitors in, at least, positive and comparative degrees, or the public will vote the whole thing a sham and a bore, and leave the funds to be provided by those " true friends of yachting" who are able to overpower the " small fry" by their accidental weight of metal. " The wealthy and ingenious" improvers of naval architecture (?) referred to are doubtless content with the admitted superiority of their vessels, and seek not the unenviable distinction of being mere cup- hunters in inland waters.— Yours, & c, A NON- EACEB.

Several capital rowing matches terminated an I the second was awarded to the Shakspere, notwithstanding that! untiring in his exertions, and his courtesy was not one whit espelieat regatta, I thqy had not roved over the entire course. behind bis activity, EAU BEINK CUT REGATTA.— The annual regatta in the Eau Brink Cut, near King's Lynn, came off on Friday, the 14th inst, but under rather unfavourable auspices so far as the weather was concerned. The first contest was a sailing match, fer boats belonging to Lynn, of any rig and not exceeding five tons ; the first to receive £ 5, the second £ 310s, and the third £ 110s. The following boats entered:— The Lovely Nelly ( Staines), the Brothers ( Lemmon), the Sir W. Wallace ( Salmon), the Katherine ( Setchell), the Mermaid ( Johnson), and the Rose ( Anderson). The start was effected at 12: 24, but the Rose being over the pre- scribed tonnage was thrown out. The Katherine and the Mer- maid soon obtained the lead, and the contest between them was so severe that they sailed an extra round. At the end of the match theMermaid came in at lh 26min30sec, and the Katherine at lh 28min. The other boats were not timed. For the next match, between sailing boats of any rig belonging to Lynn— the first to receive £ 3, and the second £ 1— the following entered: — Lyra ( Rowe), Teal ( Holmes), Rose ( Horsley), Star ( Ranant), Lizzie ( Sykes), and Vulcan ( Mingay). The craft were sailed by their owners, and the distance gone over was about four miles. The Lizzie took the lead from the first, and maintained it throughout; she came in at lh 22min, and the Teal, which occu- pied the second place, at lh 24min. For a rowing match between four- oared sea gigs— the first te receive £ 3 10s, and the second £ 1 10s— the following entered:— Jolly Boat ( Swatman), Gar- laud ( Bowles), Brothers ( Cresswell), and Neptune ( Wilkin). Only the first three boats started. The Garland won easily, her crew actually resting on their oars twice to enable their competitors to come up with them; Jolly Boat maintained the second place. A " shovel match" for ships' boats ( paddled with shovels or scoops), the first to receive £ 1 10s, and the second 10s, was competed for by the Eliza Stewart ( Rowney), and the Queen of the Isles ( Franks). The Admiral Hood ( Powell), and the Ebenezer ( Holmes), also entered, hut did not start. The contest, which excited some amusement, terminated in favour of the Eliza Stewart. For a gun- boat match with paddles, the first to receive £ 1 10s, and the second 10s, the following en- tered :— Billy Quick ( Weasenham), Curlew ( Johnson), California ( Chesson), Marlinspike ( Hornigold), Snowflake ( Smith)/ and Black Bess ( Watts). The last did not start, but a smart contest ensued between the others. The course was about a mile, aud the Marlinspike came in first, Snowflake second, and California third. As, however, the two last rounded the flag- boat on the wrong side, the Curlew received tbe second prize. The next contest was a rowing match between four- oared ships' boats be- longing to Lynn, the first to receive £ 3, the second £ 110s, and the third 10s. The following started:— Ebeuezer ( Holmes), Eliza Stewart ( Rowney), Speculation ( Blake), Iris ( Creake), and Sarah Mills ( Smith). The course was a mile. The Eliza came in first, the Iris a good second, and the Speculation third. The last contest was a rowing match between pair- oared boats not exceeding 13ft in length, and rowed by one man. Three started: the Spider ( Hammond), the Freda ( H. Horaigeld), and the Wren ( W. Hornigold). The Spider obtained the first, and the Freda the second prize. This match exhausted a very lengthy programme, and the amusements were wound up with a display of fireworks at the Crown Gardens.

Final heat: Excel- sior Crew 1; Amicable Crew 2. The stroke of the Amicables broke his stretcher at starting, and fell back upon No. 3, conse quently the Excelsior went away four lengths ahead; the Amicables, however, pulled pluckily after them, soon shortened the distance between them, and at the water- works were close on their stern, but they were not able to pass, and were defeated by half a length.

GEEENWICH ANNUAL REGATTA.— This regatta was brought to a satisfactory conclusion on Monday last; it was originally fixed for July 27, on which day the first two heats were actually rowed, aud then a dispute occurring concerning the boats to bte rowed in, the affair was postponed to a future day. We now give all the heats together. First heat ( East- End men): William Mascoe 1, George Field 0, Richard Burgess 0. The course ex- tended along the whole front of the town, twice round in each heat. Field and Burgess made a good race at first, but soon fell astern. Second heat ( West- End men): James Petrie 1, Henry T. Blackmore 0, George Eveson 0. Petrie achieved an easy victory in consequence of the others both capsizing. Third heat ( four worst men): Blackmore 1, Field 2, Burgess 0, Everson 0. Everson fell astern directly after starting, and never was near the others. Blackmore took the lead and kept it, but was closely pressed the greater part of the distance by Field. Won by three or four lengths. Fourth heat ( four best men): Mascoe 1, Blackmore 2, Petrie 0, Field 0.— Mascoe and Blackmore rowed an excellent race throughout, Blackmore getting the lead and keeping it for the first round, after which Mascoe came up again, passed him after a struggle, and won by two or three lengths. The others were quite beaten off.— Final heat: Mascoe 1, Blackmore 2.— Both men having rowed such a very fine race in the previous heat, and Blackmore's . powers having been made known in Doggett's coat and badge wager, much interest was taken in this heat. Blackmore took the lead soon after starting, and quickly improved it to several lengths, when, in turning at the lower end of the town, he ran into the buoy, and Mascoe passed him and won. LONDON UNITY ROWING CLUB.— The members of this club rowed a four- oared race on Monday last, August 17, from Barnes railway bridge to Putney, for silver tankards for the first boat, and other pieces of plate for the second, all of which had been presented in the most generous manner by Mr Morton, proprietor of Canterbury Hall, at which well- known place of reBort the club is accustomed to held its meetings.

TOM SAYERS AND BBOOME'S NOVICE.— Harry Broome called at our office, after seeing the reply of Tom Sayers to his novice' 8 challenge, and said it was impossible to get his money together and settle family affairs in so short a time as three months. Sayers has- also communicated with us to the effect that if Broome will not consent to his terms, he will leave the matter in our hauds, rather than let the match go off. This being the case, and Broome being willing, we have named the first Tuesday for the mill, thus splitting the difference. A backer of Sayers bas consented to this arrangement on his behalf, and the match may therefore be considered made. It only remains for the men to settle as to the deposits, and the articles will be complete LANCASTEB AND MEEK, £ 25 A SIDE.— These Wolverhampton men met on Mouday morning, at an early hour, at Curly Har- rison's, Duke of Wellington, Pritchett- street, Birmingham, to go to scale. They were confiued to 9st 61b, and each came witfein the stipulated weight. None but those whose presence was desired were aware of the spot fixed upon, three miles beyond the town of Stratford- on- Avon, Here a snug piece of ground was selected, a well- ropecl ring erected, and between one and two the men entered the ring, attended by four well- known seconds. Each looked in first- rate trim. The men were well matched for height and length ; Meek, if any, had the advantage of an inch in height. The betting was 5 and 6 to 4 on Lancaster, who looked fit to fight for a month. They get to work at once in a decided style, and a bustling and rat- tling round took place, Lancaster having the bast of it. The nexs round Meek got home on Lancaster's nob and left peeper, Lancaster returning it heavily on the ribs, and after a bulling round Meek was down. In the third round Meek led off with his right, and planted a rattling nobbier, and got first blood from the left ear. In the fourth Meek planted a breaster, which sent Lancaster to grass. ( Knock down for Meek). The fifth and last round Meek planted his right heavily again on the left listener of Lancaster, which appeared to take all courage or fighting powers out of him, for, to the great surprise of his seconds and those assembled, he said he would have no more. The referee, therefore, declared Meek the victor, after nine minutes fighting and five rounds. Lancaster left off with very trifling punishment, and can no longer lay claim to the title of a game man. The money is to be sent to Meek at G. ilolden's, Admiral Vernon, Canal- street, Wolverhampton, on Tuesday. MALPAS AND PEICE OP BILSTON.— These men, who were matched to fight for £ 25 aside, Malpas confining himself to lOst, Price to lOst 21b, went to scale on Monday, and came within the stipulated weight. Price having won the toss for choice of place, named Shropshire as the most likely place for getting the affair off, and Whittingten, near Oswestry, was the place ap- pointed for the meet, but before a ring could be pitched the authorities put in au appcarance. A move was made three miles and a half towards home, and as soon as the ring was ready the police again interfered. Several other places were tried without success, the parties, therefore, returned on Tuesday without a fight. A meeting was held on Wednesday, at G. Holden's, Wol- verhampton, when it was agreed that the men should meet at B. Terry's, Moor- street, Birmingham, at eight o'clock on Friday, aud endeavour to get the affair off in that locality.

If articles and a deposit are sent to Bell's Life office they will be imme- diately attended to, and fight between home aud home, or take reasonable expenses aud fight near London. In answer to^ Davis of Cheltenham, Bick does not think £ 5 would pay expenses, but if Davis will light for £ 10 a side, at 9st or 9st 4lb, in nine weeks, he will be most happy to accommodate him. He will be at Mr Probert's, Suffolk Arms, Suffolk- street, Gloucester, any night next week.

JEMMY SHAW IN A FIX.— Through unforeseen circnmstafnces, and the immediate condemning of several old houses in Crown- court ( the Queen's Head Tavern included) under the late Build- ing Act, at the instance of the commissioners, surveyors, & c, the old Queen's Head has become a complete wreck, and is actually gutted. Jemmy is quite bewildered, having within the last four years laid out above £ 900 in improvements, & c, the proceeds of above twenty years' industry. This is a hard blow to Jemmy Shaw. He can still be heard of among the ruins of the old Queen's Head, Crown- court, Windmill- street, Hay- market, where all orders, letters, & c, will bs received and punc- tually attended to.

SATURDAY, AUG 15.— The contests of this afternoon not possessing peculiar interest, the attendance was limited. The only event worthy of record was a JUMPING MATCH between Edward Darron of Preston and Henry Bates of Hurst, one standingjump, for £ 25 a side, three behind to lose. Darron went off first, but Bates excelled him. Again Darron went on, and beat Bates by half an inch, and theu [ Bates overreached him by an inch and a half, Darron then made three unsuscessful attempts to wia, but failed, aud Bates thus won the match. The distance covered was 4yds 2iin, COPENHAGEN RACEGEOUND, NEWTON HEATH, MANCHESTEE. — GREAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP ( distance 150 yards), on Saturday and Monday, Aug 29 and 31.

SATURDAY, AUG 15.— The weather to- day was beautifully fine, and upwards of 1,000 spectators were present, this after- noon having been fixed for the race between REED AND DARLBY.— H. A. Read is, as is well known, a resi- dent of London, and G. Darley dates from Salford, and is a native of Sheffield. Their match of to- day was for £ 25 a side, distance 150 yards. The time agreed upon for its decision was four o'clock, aud at that hour Reed catue upon the ground, ac- companied by his backer. Darley shortly afterwards appeared, having been prepared for this event by J. Smith of Halme, and seemed in excellent condition. Reed was somewhat fleshy, but, as usual, full of confidence. His pedestrian career has been so long before our readers that it is unnecessary to republish a list of the contests in which he has been engaged, aud the following is a sketch of some of the performances of Darley :— He was born at Sheffield on the 29th of February, 1832, stands 5ft 8* in high, and weighs list in racing costume. His first match was with Trainer of Sheffield, one mile, for £ 10 a side, at Hyde Park, which he won. He ran against G. Sheard, one lap round Hyde Park, for £ 10 a side, which he also won. His next engagement was with S. Lenthall of Sheffield, the same distance, Darley receiving five yards start, for £ 10 a side, which Darley won. His next essay was with T. Hospool of Basfora, the same distance, for £ 25 a side, which he lost. He next ran a dead heat at Beilevue with Wheatley of Leeds, in a 160 yards handicap. He then ran Bentley of Stafford a quarter of a mile, for £ 50 a side, at Hyde Park, which he won. He afterwards ran G. Kent of Woodenbox a quarter of a mile, for £ 25 a side, at Hyde Park, which he lost. His next race was with S. Peckett of Sheffield, 300 yards, at Sheep Bridge, near Chesterfield, Darley receiving five yards start, which he won. He next ran, and wen, the 160 yards handicap, at the Borough Gardens, Salford, for a prize of £ 15. He then ran Booth of Newton Heath 300 yards, at Beilevue, for £ 25 a side, in which he suf- fered defeat. He then won a handicap of 130 yards, at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Manchester, the first prize £ 20 ; he then won 120 yards handicap at Hyde Park, Sheffield, first prize £ 20 ; he next ran second in a half- mile handicap, at Hyde Park, Sheffield, Hardmanof Radcliffe beating him by four yards ; he theu ran iu a sweepstakes with A, Grindrod of Old- ham and B. Taylor of Failsworth, 120 yards, for £ 25 each, at the Salford Borough Gardens, which he won ; and his last en- gagement was this afternoon, withH. A. Reed, whom he defeated. With respect to the race we are about to describe we may say that the betting in town this morning was 5 to 4 on Reed; but as soon as the men entered the ground 10 to 8 was laid on Darley : and, prior to starting, 2 and 2* to 1 was freely laid on him. At five o'clock tha pedestrians arrived at the scratch, and ran towards Regent- road, Reed having Darley on his right, Mr J. Holden officiating as referee. They got off at the fourth attempt, Reed getting a yard the best of the start. The lead was kept by Reed for 80 yards, when Darley came up, imme- diately passed him, aud, from this point, Reed's chance of suc- cess had vanished, as Darley soon slackened in his speed, half turned to look at his opponent, and ran in an easy winner by three yards. It appears that a few days aso Reed had sprained his leg severely, which caused a discolouration of the right thigh; which we had an opportunity of examining. To this Reed attributed his defeat, stating that— before the race— he feared bis leg would fail him. His backer was subsequently asked whether, under the circumstances, Reed would contend with Pearson on the following Monday, and that geatlemau's reply was " Certainly." Despite this manly announcement Reed was not by any means in a condition to run, and considerable odds were offered that he would again be beaten on that day. HALL AND SEYMOUR.— Matthew Hall and George Seymour ( both of Manchester) next ran 100 yards, for £ 5 a side. The betting was 6 to 4 on Seymour, who got three yards the ad- vantage at start, and won by the same distance. MONDAY, 17TH.— The afternoon was again of the most bril- liant description, and upwards of 800 visitors assembled on the ground to witness the race with REED AND PEARSON.- Upon this occasion Reed's opponent was Wm. Pearson of Eccles, who, from his previous performance, has given great promise of proving a brilliant local star in the pedestrian hemisphere. The conditions of the race were similar to that of Reed and Darley's match on Saturday, being for £ 25 each, distance 150 yards, with the proviso that if they did not start in half an hour, a pistol shot should be the signal. So satisfied were many of those present that Reed had no chance, from the cause we have previously assigned, that 4 and 5 to 1 were laid against him, and even at this price there were to be found far more layers than takers. Considerable delay took place prior to start, Reed more frequently coming out and ap- pearing anxious to have the event decided. The prescribed 30 minutes having elapsed, Mr Holden ( the referee) ordered the pistol to be introduced, but, without its being fired, the men got off on nearly equal terms. For the first 60 yards the race was a tolerably good one, but Pearson then shot a head and won by three yards. We have only to repeat that, in our opinion, Reed was not fit for the task, in consequence of the injury he had pre- viously sustained, but though that ailment is to be regretted we are more sorry to record that it is rumoured that with this race the long and successful career of the once renowned Harry Reed may possibly have been brought to a close. A GREAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP, distance 140 yards, will take place at the Salford Borough Gardens, on Saturday, Sep- tember 5th, and Mouday, September 7th. First prize, £ 25; second, £ 4; third, £ 1; entrance, 2s each, and acceptances 4s each. The entry will close on Tuesday, August 25th, and ac- ceptances the week following.

CANINE.— KIT AND FEW.— Mr G. Kenyon's Kit and Mr Welding's Few ( both of Chorley), ran 200 yards, for £ 5 a side, Kit having 6* yards start inside. The betting was 6 to 1 on Few, who- won by a yard. Mr A. Attenbury referee. PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. ASTON CROSS.— The weather on Monday was all that could be desired for out- door amusement of every kind, which was ap- parent by the numbers that congregated here to witness the six score yards match for £ 10 a side between LITTLEIIALES AND S. SMITH.— Both men are well known, and each has run several matches with varied success; for the pre- sent match they kad carefully trained, and came to Bcratch in first rale condition. Littlebales was the favourite at 5 to 4, his friends backing him freely at that price, it was readily taken to a large amount. After dodging for the start for 25 minutes they got off well together, but at two score Smith was leading by a yard, and gradually left Littlehales in the rear. Smith running in a winner by two yards. PATSEY FAILEN AND ALEX. SCOTT.— Previous to the above match these men appeared at scratch to run six score yards, for £ 3 a side. Betting 2 to 1 on Failen, who got the best of the start, maintained the lead, and ran in an easy winner by two yards. J. BRAIDLEY AND H. MARSHALL.— These Birmingham novices met on Wednesday, near the Custard House at Yardley, to run a six score yards' match, for £ 5 a side. There was a good muster present, and a good round sum was laid out at evens ; at starting Marshall's friends offered 2 to 1, which was taken. The men looked all that could be wished, and each was confident' of success, and after dodging for 20 minutes they got away, Braidley with half a yard start; Marshall at two score was abreast of him, a well- contested race ensued, each exerting himself to the utmost; Marshall, when within a few yards of home, dashed forward and landed himself a winner by a quarter of a yard, ASTON AND MOON.— These Birmingham men have made good the whole of their money (£ 10 a side) to the stakeholder, S. Coates, for their six score yards^ match, which comes off to- morrow ( Monday) at Aston- cross. Report speaks well of the condition of the men, and a clipping race is anticipated. To be at scratch at three o'clock. The man not there at that time to lose. BOULTON PHILLIPS and the GENTLEMAN AMATEUR are again matched to run 110 yards, for £ 20 a side, on Friday, September 11th, at or near Solihull, Mr Price of Worcester- street, Bir- mingham, is appointed stakeholder.

Hartley 100 yards level, or 120 with a yard start, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side. Money ready any night next week at Mr Calvert's the Why Not, Sherlock- street. YOUNG DEAKEN of Birmingham is surprised that W. Walters should challenge him to run six score yards level, and in order to show him tfeat he means running, Deaken will run him five score yards if he will give liim one yard at the coming in end, or will take two yards in six score, for £ 5 a side, or his own sum. An answer through Bell's Life will be attended to.

BOWLER AND CLEGG.— It will be remembered by some of our readers that Allan Bowler of Low Moor, near Bradford, and John Clegg of Emley met several weeks back on the high road near Leeds, to run 120 yards, for the sum of £ 25 a side. Upon that occasion a Mr Rush, a person well known in Yorkshire, was selected referee, and, although Bowler won by two yards, the referee declared he did not see who came in first. After a great deal of bother, the men agreed to put £ 10 each to the stake, making it into £ 35 a side, and, according to agreement they met on Monday last, at Grantham Park, Fixby, near Hudders- field, to decide the contest, when there was a great number of spectators assembled to witness the result. Mr George Piers officiated as referee. Bowler was in the ascendant, as 5 and 6 to 4 was freely offered on him, and was taken to a good amount. After cutting half an hour to waste on the scratch, the pistol had to be called into requisition. On the first report Bowler took the lead, was never caught, and ran in a winner by three jards. The stakes shall be sent to the winner as directed on Tuesday next. ANDREWS AND CRITCHES.-— The spin of 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, between these men, came off on Tuesday last, at Garratt- lane, Wandsworth. After several false moves, whereby a good deal of time was most unnecessarily cut to waste, they got away, Critcher with a slight lead, which he maintained throughout, and ran in a winner by a foot and a half. DEARDEN AND REED.— These men have agreed ' to draw the stakes for their match, which ended in a dead heat. They can have them by calling at our office next Thursday, at 12 o'clock.

CUMMINS AND LEGGS.— For this race of 10 miles we have re- ceived the whole of the money— £ 20 a side— together with an additional £ 5 on the part of Cummins, in consideration of Leggs's waiving a right to claim forfeit.

Captain Denne's innings of 67 was most remarkable for brilliant hits, steady play, and superior judgment.

On Tuesday it drew together one of the largest assemblages of spectators that has been witnessed for some years. The ground was lined with carriages filled with elegantly dressed ladies, and the weather being just suitable for cricket the appearance was very pretty. Every accommodation was procured for the public, and the arrangements throughout were much to be commended, and reflect great credit on the energetic secretary, Capt Lambert. As usual, Fuller Pilch had prepared wickets almost fit to play billiards upon, and, in consequence, it was thought at one time that the match would not be played out. It is pleasing thus to be able to speak in praise of a man so well re- spected by everybody, aud whose splendid science contributed so much to raise the fame of Kent. England, under the management of W. Nicholson, Esq, had a powerful team, and wou the toss, which fortune seems this year always to follow the strong; of course they took the bat— Wisden and Willsher being the bowlers. The umpires were Royston and Fuller Pilch, and shortly after twelve o'clock " play" was called. C « sar did not trouble the Counties long, bring caught mid- on. Stephensou's chance at cover- point caused him to have three innings in succession for 0. Grundy and Parr then got a hold, and to divide them appeared to be the greatest difficulty imagin- able. Changes after changes were made, and when the telegraph had announced just 100 runs, Grundy was caught at the wicket by Frver, who took that position in the absence of Ellis, the young Sussex player, who had not been told that his services would be required; it was thought by the committee, that, having played in the first match at Lord's, he would attend for the return, but that, we may add, is ao engagement. Mr Tredcroft's absence we could not ascertain the cause of. The Eleven was conse- quently made up by Hollands aud William Pilch. To return to the play, we may notice Grundy's innings as a very fine one indeed, and composed of the following figures : a four, four threes, seven twos, and singles. George Parr was also " trapped" at the wicket, but not before he and Caffyn had caused a total of 155 to be entered into the score- bock. Parr's 73 was an innings without a chance, and we need scarcely add that a splendid display of cricket was exhibited. His figures were a five ( a splendid drive from Hollands), six fours, five threes, three twos, & c. Caffyn afterwards run out, making 21 by two fours, three two9, and siugles. Mr W. Nicholson re- mained at the wiekets until the last man made his appearance, going in the sixth. Dean bowled well, and Mr W. there- fore only scored 10, by a three, a two, and singles. Mar- tingell had no opportunity of scoring, and at a quarter to six o'clock the innings had terminated for 186. The wickets fell as follow:— One and two for 18, three for 100, four for 155, five for 162, six for 167, seven and eight for 171, nine for 186. The Counties commenced by sending iu Dean and Goodhew to the bowling of Caffyn and Jackson. The first ( Goodhew's) fell for 0, aud the second ( Mr Andrews's) for 6; the third ( Bennett's) for 17. John Lillywhite then came and made a stand with Dean, but the old- un had to succumb to Martingell, who had been sub- stituted for Caffyn, and the young- uu to Stephenson, who was put on at Jackson's end. Dean played an excellent innings of 15, composed of a three, two twos, and singles. The fourth and fifth wickets fell for 51 runs. Lillywhite's innings was com- posed of a four, a three, three twos, & c. Wisden was quite at home for 24, made up by two fours ( leg- hits from Martingell and Jackson), a three, a two, and singles. Frver played a splendid innings of 27, by a four ( leg- hit from Jackson), a three ( cut), three twos, & c. William Pilch made an excellent stand, and brought out his bat with 16 attached to his name, composed of an eight ( leg- hit for four and au overthrow for the same), a three, a two, and singles. The innings terminated at teii minutes past two o'clock for 136, being 50 iu the minority. England, in their second innings, sent in Csesar and Grundy; the former was doubtfully stumped fey Fryer, when 32 runs had been made. Stephenson and Grundy got together, and before they were parted increased the score to 106! Stephenson was then beautifully caught by Mr Andrews, who had torun agreat distance before reaching the ball. Stephenson's figures were two fours ( square leg- hits from Will- sher), six threes, two twos, & c. Parr made a cut for four, and Mr Andrews again made a beautiful catch at point, just reach- ing the ball before it touched the ground. The long- stayer, Grundy, was also now got rid of, the ball entering the safe hands of Mr Audrews, at long field on. His figures were three fours ( leg- hit, cut, and a drive), four threes, nine twos, aud singles. The third wicket fell for 113, and the fourth ( Grundy's) for 127; the fifth ( Mr Nicholson's) went for 129, and the sixth ( Lockyer's) for 141; the seventh ( Mr Fellowes's) for 142, of which number Caffyn had contributed nearly 20. Griffith joined him and both remained until the stumps were drawn, Caffyn ( not out) 24, and Griffith ( not out) 7; total 161 for seven wickets. On Wednesday Caffyn made a three, and was caught ( with the assistance of the wicket- keeper) in the slip; he played, as one might have expected on this ground, in a most masterly manner, and his figures were three fours ( two drives and a cut), two threes, a two, and singles. Griffith scored two singles more this morning, and brought out his bat with 9 attached to his name, Martingell being caught by the long- stop. The innings having terminated at twelve o'clock for 166 left the Counties 217 to get to win— a number, certainly, it was not expected they would accomplish, but all felt somewhat sur- prised to find that at half- past one o'clock the Eleven were out for 67! England thus won by 149 runs. Mr Andrews con- tributed a good 18 made by three threes, two twos, & c. Lilly white's figures were three fours ( two splendid cuts and a leg- hit) and singles. The management of the match throughout, and on both sides, does much credit to Messrs W. Nicholson and H. W. Andrews. Jackson bowled admirably, and Caffyn was very much on the spot. An excellent band was in attendance, and much enlivened the proceedings. We hear that the match for next year will be eigbt of Kent with three players of England ( probably Caffyn, G. Parr, and Jackson) against England. The usual amateur theatrical performances took plaee to very crowded houses.

The return match between the above clubs took place at Grantham on Monday and Tuesday last, when the Amateurs were again victorious, notwithstanding Grantham had the benefit of the services of their professional bowler, E. Cornwell, and two useful men from the Ratcliffe Club. Like the first game at Nottingham ( which was only won by 17 runs), the return game was throughout, finely contested, the Amateurs only heading their opponents by one run, and winning the game by one wicket. Mucn excitement was of course the consequence, and it was wished on both sides that the contest should be an annual one. On the part of the Grantham Club, the batting of Messrs. Bell, Matthews, Foster, and Cornwell, was deserving of much credit, particularly that of Mr G. Foster. Their oppo- nents played in their usual steady style, and the numbers placed on the score by two of them ( Hoyles and Watson) were obtained most creditably.

The committee desire respectfully to intimate to the patrons and friends of cricket generally that the above society, being now duly registered according to act of Parliament, aud under the distinguished patronage of the Marylebone Cricket Club and several of the celebrated county clubs, they are in a position to enrol as honorary members either donors or yearly subscribers. They strenuously urge on the attention of lovers of the manly art— feeling assured they will meet with approval and support— the objects of the society, which are " The relief of cricketer?, who, from old age, illness, or accident, are incapable of following their profession ; and the temporary assistance of widows aud children of cricketers, who have been left des- titute." The committee have to acknowledge, with the warmest thanks, the very promising position, at this early stage, iu which the liberality of a few gentlemen has placed this valuable society, but would still impress on the minds of all who are interested in the welfare of professional cricketers, that large accessions to the fund are needed to enable this society to become ( as it ought to be, and it is hoped will be) extensively and permanently useful. They have much pleasure, however, in announcing that the sum already in the treasurer's hands amounts to about £ 1330, with promises of some £ 50 more. A detailed statement will appear in a week or two, when they hope to be able to publish considerable additions to that amount. Contributions ( which it is sincerely hoped this appeal will elicit) may be forwarded to Fred. Lillywhite, hon secretary, 2, New Coventry- street, Leicester- square, London. CHALCOTT v BJJACKITEATII MONTAGUE.— This return match was played at Blackheath on Tuesday last, when the Chalcott were again victorious, owing principally to the fine batting of Filby, Watts, and Thorns, and the bowling of Messrs Ticehurst and Watts. On the part of Blackheath, Messrs Mortimer, Reid, and Morgan, were the most conspicuous with the bat, whilst Irwin and Morgan did good service with the ball. During the match some excellent fielding was shown, especially a one- handed catch made by G. Osgood, Esq, which was loudly ap- plauded. Score: Blackheath 91 and 42 ( with six wickets down); Chalcott 132, thus winning by 31 runs on the first innings, the rain putting a stop to the game.

HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— The royal assent was given to many bills, and the house adjourned. TUESDAY.— TRUSTEES' RELIEF ACT.— Lord St LEO- NARDS, on the Trustees' Relief Bill, said that on a former occa- sion he had framed a measure which he hoped would have met the exigencies of the case. That measure had met with objec- tions on the part of the Lord Chancellor, who said it was im- practicable ; but it was now before the public and the profes- sion, and they would form their opinion of it.— The LORD CHAN- CELLOR, in reply, denied that he had said the proposed measure was impracticable. Their lordships' house was not the proper place to discuss the matter. He was ready to give his most anxious attention to any bill in the next session which Lord St Leonards might introduce on the subject. On the DIVORCE BILL, Lord ST LEONARDS asked what course the Government proposed to take?— Lord GRANVILLE said that as Lord St Leonards had not gives notice of his ques- tion he was not able to give him a decided answer.— Lord CAMP- BELL hoped that however the session might be protracted it would not be closed until full time had been afforded to their lord- ships for considering the amendments made in the other house.— Lord REDESDALE did not think there was time to consider the alterations during the present session.— Lord GBANVILLE de- clared the Government would certainly not adopt the implied suggestion— that the bill should be postponed to the ensuing session. PROBATES OF WILLS.— On the order of the day for con- sidering the Commons' amendments to the Probates and Letters of Administration Bill, the LORD CHANCELLOR made a brief statement of the nature of the amendments which had been made in the bill in the other house.— Lord WYNFORD expressed his opposition to the amendment extending the jurisdiction of the district courts, and moved that their lordships disagree with the Commons' amendments in the 40th and 70th clauses.— Lord ST LEONARDS, though he concurred with Lord Wynford, ad- vised him not to persevere in his opposition at that period of the session,— After a few words from Lord Campbell and the Lord Chancellor, Lord Wynford withdrew his motion. THURSDAY.— No business of interest was transacted. FRIDAY.— No business of public importance was transacted. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— THE DIVORCE BILL.— At the early sitting the house went again into committee upon the Divorce and Matri- monial Causes Bill, commencing with the 28th clause, autheris ing and requiring the court in certain cases to dismiss a petition for divorce. Various alterations were proposed in this clause ( all without notice given), some of which were adopted by the Government and assented to, in one rather important instance apparently without some members of the committee being aware of the effect of the change.— The succeeding clause, au- thorising and requiring the court, under certain conditions, to pronounce a decree of dissolution, was likewise materially modi- fied.— Mr WALPOLE proposed to include in the proviso to this clause " That the court shall not be at liberty to pronounce a decree of dissolution where the petitioner should have been guilty of adultery not condoned;" but this amendment was negatived upon a division.— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL moved to include in the proviso " That the court shall not be bound to pronounce such decree if it shall find that the petitioner had during the marriage been guilty of adultery."— This amendment was agreed to, as well as another also pro- posed by the ATTORNEY- GENERAL, including among the excep- tions in the proviso wilful separation before the adultery without reasonable excuse, and wilful neglect or misconduct which shall have conduced to the adultery.— The clause, thus amended, was opposed by Mr MONSELL, because it authorised divorce a vinculo; but it was carried by 88 to 21.— With this division the sitting terminated, two clauses only having been passed. The Consolidated Fund ( Appropriation) Bill, the Probates and Letters of Administration ( Ireland) Bill, aud the Jurisdiction in Siam Bill were read a third time aud passed. INDIA.— In the evening, in reply to an inquiry by Lord C. Hamilton, Mr V. SMITH said that, under existing circumstances, the Government had decided not to bring forward the usual annual statement on the Indian finances. DIVORCE.— The house returned into committee upon the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill. The 31st clause empowers the court, where the adultery has been established, on the peti- tion of the husband, to impose a line upon the adulterer, he having been made a co- respondent, and to order him to pay the costs.— Mr PULLEB proposed to amend this clause by empower- ing the court to punish the respondent and co- respondent by fine, or imprisonment, or both, as if cenvicted of a misde- meanour.— The ATTOBNEY- GENEBAL objected to making adul- tery a criminal offence.— After a long discussion the clause was agreed to, with the omission of the words authorising the impo- sition of a fine upon the adulterer, which the ATTOBNEY- GENE- BAL proposed to make the subject of another clause.— In the 52d clause, which sanctions an appeal to the House of Lords, the limitation of the appeal to questions of law was expunged.— The next clause, enabling parties to a marriage dissolved under the act to marry again, as if the prior marriage had been dis- solved by death, gave occasion to mauy notices of amendments.— Mr Rolt, who had given notice of amendment to disable the party by whose adultery or other offence the marriage shall have been dissolved from marrying again, moved, however, in the first instance, an amendment, of wliich notice had been given by Mr Napier, to restrict the permission to re- marry to the party on whose petition the marriage shall have been dissolved.— Sir G. GREY resisted the latter proposition, and a fortiori the former. — Upon a division, Mr Napier's amendment was negatived by 110 to 50, and this vote virtually decided the fate of Mr Rolt's amendment.— The chairman was then ordered to report pro- gress.— The Trustees' Relief Bill was withdrawn. TUESDAY— DIVORCE.— At the morning sitting the consi- deration of this bill was resumed at the point where the discus- sion left off on the preceding evening— namely, the 53d clause. That clause, it may be proper to repeat, enacts that, on the dissolution of a marriage, " It shall be lawful for the respective parties thereto to marry again, as if the prior marriage had been dissolved by death."— Sir W. HEATHCOTE, in the absence of Mr Gladstone through a domestic calamity, moved an amendment, to leave out the words, " as if the prior marriage had been dissolved hy death," and insert " in the office of the registrar." This alteration, he said, would obviate conscientious scruples, and prevent Parliament from exceeding the functions of a civil legislature, thereby avoiding what he regarded as one of the great evils of thi3 bill. The ATTORNEY- GENEBAL pointed out the social evils which would be the practical con- sequences of adopting the amendment, and recommended that it should be withdrawn, and that the great ques- tion whether or not the clergy of the Church of England should be exempted from the obligation to marry divorced parties should be raised in another form, and be tried and decided upon the amendments of which Mr Walpole and Major Warburton had given notice, and which distinctly raised that simple question.— The amendment was ultimately with- drawn.— Major WABBURTON moved, " That no priest or deacon shall be liable to any suit, penalty, or censure for solemnising, or refusing to solemnise, the marriage of any person who shall be divorced by virtue of the act."— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said he was authorised by Lord Palmerston to propose a qualified acceptance of the amendment; but before he stated the terms, he set before the committee the considerations that had weighed greatly with the Government, aud avowing that he gave way not upon conviction, but in deference to those who deeply felt that the interests of the Church of England would be promoted thereby, the Government were willing, if a great majority were in favour of the amendment, to consent to a proviso in these terms:—" That no priest or deacon shall be liable to any suit, penalty, or censure for refusing to solemnise the marriage of any person whose adultery or crime has been the eause of the dissolution of the marriage."— After some further discussion, in order to meet an objection of Sir W. Heathcote, the AT- TORNEY- GENERAL substituted the following form of the pro- viso, partly adopted from Mr Walpole's proposed amend- ment :—" That no clergyman in holy orders of the United Church of Eugland and Ireland shall be compelled to solemnise the marriage of any person whose former marriage may have been dissolved on the ground of his or her adultery, or shall be liable to any suit, penalty, or censure for solemnising or refusing to solemnise such marriage." The discussion having at this period been adjourned was resumed in the evening, when Major Warburton's proviso was negatived on a division by 77 to 56.— Mr WIGRAM moved a proviso, " That nothing in this act con- tained shall enable any person whose marriage shall have been dissolved on the ground of his or her adultery to contract mar- riage with any person with whom he or she shall by the sentence dissolving the marriage be found and declared to have com- mitted adultery." The ground upon which he made this motion was that he believed that marriages of this kind were a scandal to society.— The ATTORNEY- GENEBAL opposed this amend- ment, pointing out what, in his opinion, would be the evil effects of such a restriction, which would either cast the victim of se- duction upon the world, or force her to live in a state of concu- binage.— The amendment, after some discussion, was negatived, and the clause as amended by the Attorney- General wasagreedto. — The clauses contained in the bill having been gone through, the committee proceeded to consider the new clauses.— One of these clauses, moved by the ATTOBNEY- GENEBAL, and agreed to, gave jurisdiction to entertain and decide upon petitions for judicial separation to the judge of assize for the county, or any other person named in the commission of assize, and appointed by the judge, or the chairman or assistant- chairman of the quarter sessions for the county or district, or the recorder of any city or borough in which the husband and wife were last resi- dent.— Other new clauses were likewise agreed to, and several additional clauses were reserved for consideration next day. WEDNESDAY.— THE SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS.- The house having resolved itself into a committee upon the Sale of Obscene Books, & c, Prevention Bill, the clauses were agreed to with certain amendments, including a new clause, moved by Mr JOHN LOCKE, giving au appeal to the quarter sessions. DIVORCE.— The house then resumed, for the last time in committee, the consideration of the details of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill, when various additional clauses were proposed by the ATTOBNEY- GENERAL, some of which were with drawn for further revision until the report, the remainder being added to the bill. A strong opposition was offered to the clause in the nature of a proviso moved by the Attorney- General as a complement or qualification of the clause exempting the clergy from censure or penalty for refusing to marry divorced persons, the effect of which proviso was that, in case an incumbent of a parish had a conscientious objection to solemnise such a marriage, another clergyman, not having such a scruple, should be allowed te perform the ceremony in the parish church of the former.— Upon a division the clause was carried by 73 to 33.— The bill as amended was ordered to be reported to the house. THURSDAY- DIVORCE BILL.— This bill, as amended in the committee, was considered, and further amendments were made, including fresh clauses substituted for a clause added in the committee for establishing local jurisdiction. THE SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS, & c, PREVENTION BILL, as amended in the committee, was likewise considered and further amended, Scotland being excluded from the opera- tion of the bill. INDIA,— In answer to inquiries by Mr Disraeli, Mr V. SMITH corrected a misapprehension of a reply he had given on Tuesday, relative to the compensation to be given by the Indian Government for losses sustained in consequence of the mutiny of the troops. The scheme of compensation to which he referred ( he said) did not extend to property injured or destroyed be- longing to all British subjects, which would open a wide field,— On the order for the third reading of the Militia Bill, a discus sion of much interest arose, in which Colonel North, Sir F.' Smith. Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir W. Williams, Sir H. Verney, and Sir J. Ramsden participated, and which gradually embraced a great variety of topics, including the siege of Delhi, the expe- diency of sending Sappers and Miners to India, and of em- ploying a steam flotilla on the Ganges, recruiting for the native army of Bombay, the electric telegraph, the conveyance of troops to Iudia through Egypt, and sending them in screw liue- of- battle ships.— Lord PALMERSTON, iu the course of a general reply, pointod out the inexpediency of sending a large portion of our naval force so far as India, and repeated tbe objections he had previously urged to the conveying troops across Egypt, As to the employing of a flotilla on the Ganges, he reminded the house that the rivers of India were thickly stud « ded with sandbanks, and abounded with shallows. He assured the house, however, that the suggestions made would receive the utmost attention of the Government, which was most anxiously directed to the sad events in India.— Mr DISRAELI said he wished to see a nearer relation established between tbe regular regiments of the line and the militia, which would be of advantage to both. Adverting to the operations in India, lie observed that much depended upon the fate of Cawn- pore, the defence of which was, in his opinion, a more import- ant point than the ro- capture of Delhi. He wished to know what portion of his garrison the governor of the Cape was pre- pared to contribute to the European force iu India, there being, he believed, no danger of a Caffre war. In reply to Lord Palmerston, he considered what were the duties of Govern- ment, in questions of retrenchment, with relation to the exigencies of the country. The Government, he said, ought to have been aware of the condition of our Indian empire, and prescient of what would happen there, and they could not relieve themselves of responsibility for sanctioning a policy of reduction, which was most unwise, and had been most injurious to the country.— Mr V. SMITH denied that the Government were in any way responsible for the events in India, and defended the measures taken by them for expediting rein- forcemeats thither. They had, he . said, sent positive instruc- tions to Sir George Grey to forward two regiments from the Cape to Iudia, and as many more troops as he could spare, and he ( Mr V. Smith) had not the slightest fear that Sir George would carry out the instructions with spirit and promptitude. There had been no lack of consideration as to the force necessary to put down the mutiny. After that was done measures would be; taken to re- organise the army in India, making a large addition of European force. The Militia BUI was then read a tmrd time and passed. FRIDAY.— THE DIVORCE AND THE BUSINESS OF THE SESSION BILL.— After some discussion as to the third reading of this bill, Lord PALMERSTON threw the whole blame of the delay which had taken place on the Opposition, many of whom had said the bill should never pass. With regard to the concession that had been made, he gave it with great reluctance, out of respect to the conscientious scruples of the clergy which, however, he thought were wrong. With regard to the indissolubility of marriage he denied altogether that that was the doctrine of the Church of Eugland, for the Articles stated that matrimony had nothing in it of the nature of a sacrament, as there was no visible sign, and no ceremony ordained of God. The noble lord rapidly reviewed the past session, and remarked that he never knew a session in which members had devoted themselves so actively, so perseveringly, and so successfully to the business of the country.— The bill was then read a third time THE SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS BILL was read a third and passed, and, after some routine business, the house ad- journed until Monday. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. THE PUNISHMENT OF AN ADULTERER.— At the South Lan- cashire Assizes, on Saturday, before Mr Baron Watson, James Davies, 30, tailor, was indicted for having, at Liverpool, on the 25th May, 1857, murdered Robert Renses. The prisoner was a tailor, in Bostock- street, Liverpool; and the deceased, who was a connexion of his by marriage ( having married a sister of the prisoner), was a seafaring man. When on shore the deceased lodged with the prisoner, and, notwithstanding their relation- ship, the prisoner suspected that he had an improper intimacy with his wife. The decease^ even boasted in public that such was the case, and the prisoner, in consequence, told him that the love which he once bore him had turned to the bitterest ha- tred. On the day of the murder the prisoner went to a public- house at the corner of Bostock- street, in a very advanced state of intoxication. He met an acquaintance there, and said to him, " I have found a man in bed with my wife ; come with me, and I will show you some fun." They went to the house, and found the deceased lying in the bed in the garret. The moment the prisoner saw him, he drew out a pair of large tailor's scissors, and plunged them twice into the side of the deceased. The de- ceased never spoke, and died iu a few hours afterwards.— His lordship, in summing ujs, said it was recognized alike by law and by common sense, that where a man found another in the act of adultery with his wife, and killed either the adulterer or the adulteress, the crime wonld be reduced from one of murder to manslaughter, and that of the lowest degree ; because of all offences the most grievous to the sense and feeling of men was that of adultery. But if a man allowed his passion to cool, and then killed the adulterer out of revenge, that would be murder. — The jury acquitted the prisoner of the charge of murder, but found him guilty of manslaughter.— His lordship sentenced him to four days' imprisonment, observing that the last case of the kind was tried before his brother Erie, wh ® sentenced the man to one day's imprisonment. ATROCIOUS MURDER AT SEA.— At Liverpool, on Wednesday, Henry Rogers, master mariner, aged 37, William Miles, mate, and Charles Edward Seymour, second mate, were indicted for the wilful murder of Andrew Rose, seaman, on board the ship Martha and Jane, on the high seas, on the 6th of June last.— Mr Bliss, Q. C., Mr Edwin James, Q. C., and Mr Seymour pro- secuted ; Mr Monk, Q. C., appeared for the two mates, and Mr Aspinall in defence of Rogers, the captain.— The case opened by Mr Bliss exhibited in its details a series of the most shocking brutalities practised on the deceased seaman. The deceased, it appeared, was a seaman on board the ship Martha and Jane, of which the prisoner Rogers was captain and the other prisoners first and second mate, on a voyage from Barbadoes to Liverpool. The deceased was a healthy mau and very quiet, but apparently half- witted and dirty in his habits. On the voyage he was whipped, rope- ended, bitten by a dog which was set upon him by the prisoners, fastened up in a water cask for twelve hours, deprived of necessary food, hung by the neck till he was nearly dead, chained to the deck, and kept there many hours, and his own excrement forced into his mouth by the captain, until he lost his reason altogether, and he wa3 then gagged and beaten till at length he died; his body was covered with sores which had festered, and in some of which maggots were breeding. The excuse apparently set up for these acts of violence was that the deceased was dirty in his habits.— The prisoners were all con- victed of murder and sentenced to death. ASCENT OF THE FINSTER- AAR- HOBN.— The following appears in The Times of Friday :—" Sir : Although, upon the authority of The Times, it is now au acknowledged fact that Mont Blanc is a nuisance and is ' used' up, it is still possible that some ac- count of the Finster- Aar- Horn, which has now for the first time been ascended by Englishmen, may prove not wholly with- out interest to some of your readers. There have been but two previous ascents of this mountain, which, attaining an elevation of 14,320 English feet, is the highest in the Bernese Oberland; and these were made by Herr Lolgar, of Basle, and the guide Johann Jaun, of Meyringeia, on the 15th of August and the 8th of September, 1841. Two attempts have since been made by Mr E. L. Ames, of Trinity College, Cambridge, but both were de- feated by bad weather. Our party consisted of the Rev J. F. Hardy, J. C. W. Ellis, B. St John Mathews, William Mathews, and E. S. Kennedy, graduates of the University of Cam- bridge, and James Smith, a lad about 16, of the Grotto. Hav- ing secured the services of Jaun, and being inspirited by the example and perseverance of Mr Ames, we availed ourselves of that gentleman's experience, and leaving the comfortable hotel on the Aeggisch- Horn in the afternoon of the 12th of August, we walked up the Aletsch glacier and slept the same night at the well- known cleft in the rock at the base of the Faulberg. On the morning of the 13th of August, being aided by a bright moon and encouraged by a cloudless sky, we left our rough mountain quarter at 2: 30 a. m.; the hard ice crunched beneath the tread of quickly- moving feet, s ® that we were enabled to hail the rising sun from the crest of the Grun- Horn- Lucke at 4: 53, and, surrounded by the lofty peaks of the Oberland, all beauti- fully tinted by the early rays of dawn, rapidly to cross the upper portion of the Viesch glacier and reach the base of the Finster- Aar- Horn at 5: 25. Our route now led us up a narrow and steep ridge of rock, and across slopes of snow, to a point on the saddle which commands the Strahleck Pass and Finster- Aar glacier, and is situated immediately at the base of the final peak, about 1,200 feet below the summit. Here one of our guides, who had vainly endeavoured to keep himself up to the mark by the aid of brandy, gave in; and here also it was thought advisable that the lad should remain behind. Our course was now up an arrete formed of rugged rock, with occasional patches of snow inclined at a considerable angle; towards the south it runs rapidly down to the glacier of Viesch, while towards the north it is precipi- tous, and overhangs the Finster- Aar glacier. The summit was gained about noon. We deposited our names in a bottle securely inserted in a cairn of stones; we gave three cheers in honour of the glorious old mountain; and, being favoured hy the weather, enjoyed a view of the most magnificent and interesting character. After a pause of half au hour a tolerably rapid descent brought us safely down; the major portion of our party slept again at the Faulberg, which they reached at eight p. m., while two of us pushed down the Aletsch glacier, and arrived at the hotel at one o'clock the following morning.— I am, sir, your obedient servant, E. S. KENNEDY.— Hotel Jungfrau, Aeggisch Horn, Aug 14."—[ Mr Kennedy was one of the party of gentlemen who ascended Mont Blanc without the assistance of guides two years back.] RECKLESSNESS OF COLLIEBS.— On Saturday week, at Hali- fax, Benjamin Drake, a collier in the Whittaker pit of the Clifton Collieries, near that town, was charged with having worked there with a naked light, after having been warned by the under- steward, and promising not to offend. When caught, he said he would use a naked light in spite of anybody. The defence was, that the candle was used by Drake's hurrier, who would not obey his orders. Drake also said, that many other colliers were as bad as he was. A collier had been burned to death in the same pit by similar recklessness. The magistrates committed Drake for three months. Edward Haigh, another collier in the same pit, was then charged with having unscrewed the gauze off his Davy lamp ; and it appeared that he had ac- tually invented an instrument for the purpose. He was fined in the penalty, with costs, of £ 2 7s. 6d., which he paid. COMMITTAL OF AN ENTIBE SHIP'S CBEW FOE SMUGGLING. — At the Bristol police- court, on Tuesday, the captain, mate, and crew of the steam- packet Sophie, which plies between that port and Rotterdam, were brought before the magistrates, W. Here- path, R. Leonard, and W. Naith, Esqs, charged with having been found on board of a vessel liable to forfeiture for a breach of the revenue laws, whereby they had severally forfeited £ 100. The inspector of the water- guard, Mr Youall, deposed to having gone on board and rummaged the vessel, when lying at the Red- cliff wharf in the floating harbour. Whilst examining the fore- hold, his attention was attracted to a scuttle, and, upon his opening it, he found secreted in it 13 packages, weighing 4221b, of foreign manufactured tobacco, and 11 packages of cigars, weighing 1161b 4oz ; also some stone bottles which were filled with Geneva. He inquired about the ownership of the property, and was induced to seize the ship, the contraband goods, and the whole of the crew, 19 in number. The prisoners, nearly all of whom are foreigners, were examined through an interpreter, and asked what they had to say, but they persisted in denying all knowledge of the smuggled articles. The magistrates said the statute left them no power of mitigating the penalty, and they must therefore convict the whole of the prisoners in the penalty of £ 100 each, and order them to be imprisoned until paid. They might themselves memorialise the Board of Customs for some reduction of the penalties, and the magistrates would themselves recommend the board to mitigate the sum. The prisoners were then removed, the comptroller promising to com- municate their worships' wishes to the commissioners. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths registered in the week ending Aug 15 were 1,187, those in the previous week numbering 1,238. The deaths from diarrhoea decreased to 244. From cho- lera there were 21 deaths. The births were 875 boys and 743 girls. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS— John Smith, of Ashton- ioad, Openshaw, considered it a duty to make the following statement:— For two years he suffered with an ulcerated leg; all assistance having failed to relieve, he was induced to obtain these remedies.
