COCKLE'S COMPOUND ANTIBILIOUS PILLS have long been recognised as a most effectual remedy for indi- gestion occurring in this country, and experience has also fully justified their use in those continual and violent forms of bilious disorder of too frequent recurrence in hot climates, where the digestive organs, and more especially the liver, are subject to such sudden and irregular in- crease of their functions, that they often form the exciting cause of the fatal endetnic fever peculiar to those climates. To Europeans, there- fore, contemplating a residence abroad, and for whose use a mild and efficient aperient is required, strengthening the stomach and regulating the secretion of bile, Cockle's pills are confidently recommended, having now stood the test of public opinion for nearly 60 years.

At one moment we are all energy; we criticise a government, upset it, plant in its place another, and freely give the new government all the means to effect the great objects we have in view. Foreign nations see these things, and fancy that we are eternally stimu'lating our Government to action, and that it is constantly acting under the influence of the national will. Never was there a greater mistake than this fancy. We do all this, and then confide as blindly as we confided before. The matters we have thus stated, and which are the subject of ob- servation by foreigners, are true enough; but there is some- thing else true, and that something else neutralises all our ener- getic proceedings, We give the Government means in abun- dance, and then we allow the Government to hand over those means to the control of persons who seem to be born to 110 end but to render them almost entirely inefficient— to mere red- tapeists. " We rouse ourselves to create an irresistible force, and then allow idleness and indifference to render it useless. We have recently had a painful, indeed a rather humiliating proof of all this. The French papers, falling into the error of sup- posing that the present Ministers were the true rapresentatives of the national spirit, expected to see the best and readiest means taken to accomplish a great and necessary end. Know- ing that France would Hot oppose any diplomatic obstacle to the passage of English troops through Egypt; that the Vice- roy himself was willing to permit their passage; that by going that way they could save above two months of the most precious time; and being well aware that empire, honour, property amounting to hundreds of millions; and, above all, that the lives of our countrymen and women, and of their helpless children, were all at stske, and might be preserved by speedy succour, and would be lost by its delay, the French papers we say, knowing all this, took it for granted that the passage for English troops through Egypt had been asked and had been permitted, and they actually announced the matter as an " established fact." Alas ! how iittle they, even now, know of our Government. Lord Palmers ton, on being asked if this report was true, answered that it was not; that " no application had been made to the Viceroy on the subject"— in fact, the passage of English troops through Egypt would involve inconvenience and expense." Here is the Crimean horror over again. It was the inconvenience to which the red tapeists would have been put by doing their duty that ruined our army in the Crimea— there was then, as now, no lack of money or means, the country readily contributed all that was wanted, but it was inconvenient to the officials to employ in a busir. ess- lik e way what was thus liberally granted. The same inconve- nience is now to interfere with the rapid transmission of most ne- cessary aid to our suffering relatives in India. And the miserable men in the House of Commons sit down contented wph the miserable Ministerial answer. The massacre of men, women and children is to f? o on for a few months longer, because omuato are not to be put to inconvenience, and for fear of the expense of one million many millious are to be lost. Lerd Palme. rston, who was brought into office by an earnest people against all Parliamentary opposition, because he was believed to be as earnest as the people themselves, is now following the course of the men he displaced, influenced, no doubt, by the* same causes, and yielding to them in the same manner. The people must again bestir themselves. Their chosen Minister is imi- tating those he ousted— if he will do so, he must share their fate. MOROCCO- PRUSSIA. We think it right to warn the public against the reports now industriously circulated by certain parties as to " cruelties" practised in Moorish or Turkish towns against Christians. An event lately occurred at Tunis which was represented as a fanatic outbreak. The news of more recent date shows it to have been what we suspected at the time a mere drunken riot in which men of different creeds were engaged, but which had nothing to do with difference of creed except that it is possible that drunken Christians, Jews, and Mohammedans are more bitter even in drunkenness against men of rival faiths than against their co- creedsmen. But now paragraphs are frequently put forward about the Riff pirates— and English vessels are adroitly named as the sufferers. This is done to lull public watchfulness in this country and to excite public indignation here. There is a pur- pose in this. Prussia's King covets the possession of a little bit of territory in Africa. He was about to join Louis Philippe some years ago in invading that country, and then probably we should have seen the two rogues quarrelling over the spoil. But various causes then operated to put a stop to the war against Morocco. Not long since the Prince of Prussia perpetrated a most unwarranted affront on the Moors— he attempted, and without notice, a landing with a boat of armed men, the inha- bitants of the country very properly and honourably beat him off, and then he pretended that they were " Biff pirates," aad as the English papers frankly told him that he had doue an unjustifiable act, he altered his tale to make out his excuse and to present himself before the public of Europe, as one who had been causelessly attacked. The second version of his tale repre- sented him and his landing iu a manner totally different from the first. The poor Moors are not so well off as the Swiss were in having newspapers, so that we have never had the Moorish version of the affair, but it bore no doubt the Neufchatel insurrection character about it. Let his Prussian Majesty be watched— he is not to be trusted. W ithin these few days " Letters from Madrid 1" tell Europe what it never heard of from any other quarter about the misdoings of the " ruffians on the Moorish coast." We print the matter iu our " Foreign Intelligence," but attach no faith to it. The tale is a pretty specimen of Spanish tales, but it was not invented in Madrid. The joke of the Espaaa pretending to have any sympathy with the Jews is rich : the paper forgets how Jews are treated in all thoroughly papist countries. THE DIVORCE BILL. This bill has at length passed. The discussions on it have been curious. The publishing trade has much right to complain of the Attorney- General and the House of Commons. Novels must be falling into a discount. Romances of fiction must be dull of sale, when every day any man may read the much more exciting romance of fact, and that too in the choicest and most charac- teristic languages. Battling opposition, sarcastic sneering, and evasive argumentation, smiling hostility, in short all the most incongruous sentiments, and all the most contrasted modes of uttering them, have been exhibited by turns in the discussions in the House of Commons on the clauses of the Divorce Bill. Who, with such amusement before him, freshly supplied from day to day, and furnishing topies of scandal as to all the speakers, would pay ten times the amount in money to read the laboured witticisms of a hard- worked author? No one. The publishing trade must suffer. Such a rivalry cannot but affect it. But in the midst of all this the country suffers too. The bill which the Attorney- General really denounced, when he admitted himself to be working it merely as the " hewer of wood and drawer of water " for the cabinet, cannot be a good bill in his estimation. He condemns it by that admission. He ought rather to be among its correctors than its supporters; he only takes his place among the latter iu consequence of his office. As Attorney- General he advocates it— as Sir R. Bethell we must assume that he would oppose it. What is the country to think of Legislation thus recommended ? The Attorney- General is not the only official who behaves thus. The Lord Advocate has followed his example. As a Scotchman he, of course, approves of the Scotch law, which he says putting the sexes 011 an equality as to the right to demand a divorce is good iu principle and practice; but, as Lord Advo- cate, he objects to a clause which would introduce into the English bill the principle and practice of the law of Scotland. What " paltering iu a double sense" is this. Is he so much the slave of Scotch habits that he dares not tell the Scotch what he truly thinks in condemnation of their law, or is he so much an official, that, really approving of their law, he will not give England the benefit of it, because the Cabinet has not thought of doing so. In either view of the case he deserves little credit but much censure for his conduct. And the bill itself thus doubtfully recommended, comes with an exceedingly bad grace before the public. We foresee that aa " amending" act will be required next session. The remedy which was really wanted has been so encumbered with obnoxious additions, or falsified with tantalising defects, that the postponement of it till next session would not have been a matter of regret. Its good parts— and some are reallj good— might then have been separated from the bad— which are really bad. It must now be borne for one year, at least. SPOLLEN. The man whom the jury thought fit to acquit of murder though the object of such a murder was found concealed iu his possession, is now to be tried for robbery on the fact of that possession. The logic of the whole proceeding seems to be of that peculiar kind known as Irish logic. If the doubts which the judge entertained were sufficient to warrant the acquittal on the criminal charge, they are sufficient to warrant an acquittal 011 the charge of the smaller felony. The same convicting link is equally wanting— unless, indeed, some fresh evidence has been discovered, of which as yet the public have not been informed. The whole affair now looks like a struggle for superiority. It has lost the air of an act of public justice. The acquitted Spollen has been rash enough to brave the authorities, and to appeal to public charity. Public indignation answered the ap- peal, and now the authorities appear to be stirred up, by what looks like emulation, to do what they failed in accomplishing be- fore. The iuculpatory questions of the people assembled by Spollen at the place of his theatrical exhibition have borne their fruit. Official life is at least up and acting. We cannot say that we see this with much satisfaction. This second- hand sort of vindication of justise is not to the taste of the English people, Had Probert suffered with Thurtell the country would have looked on the act as one of retributive justice, but it looked on his subsequent hanging for horse stealing in a very different manner. Another escape of Spollen will cover the prosecuting officials with disgrace ; his conviction will bring them iittle credit. A new arrest, and a new imprisonment, and a new trial upon a matter which might have been the subject of inquiry on the former occasion is not in accordance with English practice or English feeling. EARLY CLOSING FETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.— The Early Closing Association held a third fGte in aid of its funds at the Crystal Palace on Monday, which, as in the case of the previous two, passed off most successfully. The games took place on the cricket- ground, as being more spacious than the part chosen 011 Saturday. The diversions were somewhat varied. The bayonet exercise was added, and seemed greatly to interest the spectators. There was also a further exhibition of the broadsword, as also of the singlestick exercise. These several military displays were pronounced to be very good. The jingling match, and sack and wheelbarrow racing, occasioned immense merriment. In the jingling match, Private Wells, of the Coldstreams, and Private Demby carried off the prizes. In the sack race, George Dyke, of the Coldstreams, and Peter Allan, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, were the successful competitors. The only person who succeeded in tossing the caber was Pipe Major Henderson, of the Scots Fusilier Guards ; but as this active and powerful non- commis- sioned officer took the prize for the x" 6te on Saturday, he was pre- cluded from doiag so on this occasion. The foot race of 250 yards had an exceedingly pretty effect, and the hurdle race was very sharply contested. In the first heat of the hurdle race, Sergeant Passman, of the Grenadier Guards, came in first, and Corporal Gibson, of the same regiment, second. In the second heat ( in which Passman did not run), Wm. Collins, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, took the lead; and Richard Rae, also of the Scots Fusilier Guards, was second. In throwing the hammer Pipe Major Henderson was again successful, but it having been objected that he " wheeled round" as he threw, whilst others hurled the hammer without this wheel of the body, Pass wan and Lasky, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, severally carried off the prizes. In the long leap several were very expert, but Pipe Major Henderson distanced his competitors by several inches. James Hall, of the Coldstreams, carried off the second prize. Two Highland reels were danced ( Captain Gordon, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, taking part), together with the sword dance, the Highland fling, and Highland hornpipe. The proceedings of the day were greatly enlivened by the performance of the pipers of the Scots Fusilier Guards, the band of the Crystal Palace Company, and the celebrated juvenile band of the Royal Military Asylum, conducted by their master, Mr Porteous. There was an extra display of the fountains. HOP INTELLIGENCE.— In the vicinity of Canterbury the im- provement in the hops has again been very great, the weather having been extremely favourable. The burr, which at one time looked to have done growing, has got into hop. This is more perceivable in the blighted grounds. Many of the gardens will produce some unusually large hops. The appearance is alto- gether much better than last week, and an average crop may now be expected. The Cranbrook grounds are now in full hop, and present a luxuriant appearance; there is also an improve- ment in those gardens which were but slightly strickeu with the blight. In Goudhurst, within the last fortnight, the plan- tations have improved considerably; and even where the attack of the blight was severe, and it was thought that the little burr could not come to maturity, the hops, though small, will be worth picking. In the Maidstone district the hops have grown much since the rain; but many grounds are greatly infested by flea, which will cause picking to begin in numerous places before the hops are fully ripe. The duty, it is thought, will amount to between £ 150,000 and £ 160,000; but the hops generally, in years of blight, make a show of larger crops than they really yield. The hop- picking will be earlier than usual; in most places it will be general at the beginning of next week. The accounts from Sussex generally concur in reporting a continued improve- ment ; many grounds which appeared " gone" will now grow a sprinkle.— South Eastern Gazette. MURDER AT DUDLEY.— SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER.— Last week an affray took place at Dudley between two men named Michael Hickey and J. Higgens, which ended in the former rushing into a butcher's shop, taking up a knife from the block, and plunging it into his fellow- countryman's bowels, causing his death. Hickey was thereupon taken into custody and lodged in the lock- up. On Monday last, as the coustables having the charge of the prisoners in the lock- up were going their rounds, 011 en- tering Hickey's cell they found him leaning against the wall and apparently in a helpless state, with his head hanging down. Ou approaching him it was discovered that he was dead, having sus- pended himself by his handkerchief from ene of the bars of the window of his cell. He was immediately cut down, but life was extinct, and it was the opinion of the surgeon that he had been dead at least an hour. The suicide appears to have been most determined in his intention. The bar of the window from which he had suspended himself was not more than six feet from the floor ; but, from the position of the body when discovered, it would seem that Hickey had got upon his bed, and, after ad- justing the handkerchief to the window bar and his neck, had thrown himself down, and thus caused strangulation. When discovered his legs were bent under his body. He had chalked the following ( supposed to be addressed to his wife) on his cell- door :—" If you do what I told you I would not lose my life. May the Lord have mercy on the soul I have taken through drunkenness : and the Lord have mercy on mine ! Go to your child, and go to my sister. Do the best you can for jour children. I forgive, and God forgive you." The inquest on the body of Higgins has been held before Mr Docker, coroner for Worcestei shire, and has ended in a verdict of Manslaughter against Hickey. FIBE AT COGGESHALL.— On Susday afternoon two stacks of hay, the property of Mr John Evans, farmer, of Coggeshall, were destroyed by fire. The fire was occasioned by a lad named Arthur Plumstead, 16 years old, lighting his pipe and flinging the lucifer match down near the stacks. This is the second fire occasioned by the carelessness of smokers in this neighbourhood within a few months. The two stacks were the produce of seven acres of grass and six acres of clover, and are of the estimated value of £ 130, which is covered byinsurance, THOMAS FULLER BACON.— We were informed by the governor of Lincoln Castle that the fate of Thomas Fuller Bacon, con- victed at the last assizes for this county of administering to his mother, Ann Bacon, a quantity of arsenic, with intent to mur- der, has been decided. The convict is to be kept in penal servi- tude for the term of his natural life.— Lincoln Times, THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. In our Town Edition last week we gave the somewhat garbled despatch which had been received in anticipation of the Cal- cutta Mail. On Thursday morning last telegraphic despatches were received from Trieste, of which the following are copic- s:— GOVERNMENT DESPATCH. " Alexandria, Aug 20. " The Bombay arrived at Suez yesterday morniwg, bringing dates from Bombay to the 30th July. The latest date from Delhi is July 14, at which time the city was still held by the rebels. Though we have parts of five regiments before Delhi, only 2,000 Europeans can be mustered for any effective attack, in consequence of detachments to protect other places. Sir Henry Barnard died of cholera on the 5th of July, and was suc- ceeded by General Reid. " The Bombay and Madras Presidencies were perfectly tran- quil, and their armies continued loyal. " General Sir H. Lawrence died on the 4th July. The garri- son of Lucknow is holding out. " General Havelock, at the head of 2,000 Europeans, has de- feated the rebels in three engagements, re- occupying Cawnpore and capturing 26 guns. These actions wero very brilliant, and with very little loss on our side. " The garrison of Agra fought the Neemuch mutineers on the 5th July. Our loss was 49 killed and 92 wounded, out of tho total force of 500. " Several massacres have taken place in the north- west pro- vinces. The Punjab continues quiet, with the exception of a mutiny at Sealcote of the 9th Light Cavalry aud 46th Native Infantry, who took the route to Delhi. They were attacked on the 12th July by Brigadier Nicholson, and were driven back with 200 killed and wounded, leaving their baggage and plunder in our hands. Our loss was 6 killed and 25 wounded. A rising took place at Hydrabad on the 18th July, but was quickly sup- pressed. The dates from Hong Kong are to the 10th July. " Lord Elgin arrived on the 2d July, aud was about to pro- ceed north, ( Signed) " JOHN GREEN. " Trieste, 3 pm," ( Sigued.) " RAVEN." ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Other despatches dated Alexandria, Aug 21, are as follows: — " The India and Australian mails leave to- day, with dates from Calcutta to the 28th ; Bombay, 30th ; Hong Kong, 10th July. " On the 14th, Delhi still held out. The enemy had made three sorties, in all which they were totally defeated and suffered heavy loss. Sir Henry Barnard died of cholera on the 5th July. " Sir H. Wheeler has been killed at Cawnpore. The garrison, pressed by famine, surrendered the place to Nena Sahib, by whom, in violation of his solemn promises, all were massacred Neua Sahib was subsequently twice attacked, and utterly de- feated with great loss, by Gen Havelock, who has re- occupied Cawnpore. " Sir Henry Lawrence died of a wound on the 4th of July. Lucknow is confidently expected to hold out until relieved by Havelock. " The remaining regiments in the Punjab have been disarmed. At Sealkote the 9th Light Cavalry ana 46th Native Infantry mutinied, but were subsequently attacked by Brigadier Nichol- son, and utterly routed. At Sangod, the 31st Regiment, under their native officers, alone drove the revolted 42d out of the station. Holkar remains staunch. There has been some dis- turbance at Hyderabad, in the Deccan, but it has been sup- pressed. " The Bombay and Madras Presidencies are tranquil." Another despatch says:—" Sir Hugh Wheeler, with the whole of the garrison of Cawnpwe, had been massacred. The mis- creant Nana Sahib murdered 240 women and children. The following are amongst the killed :— Brigadier Yack, Colonel Williams, Lindsay, Prout, Sir George Parker, Quin, Redman, Supple, Halliday, Reynolds, Prole, Smith, Eckford, Dempster, Jervis, Challwin. " General Havelock has since fought three battles with Nana Sahib and always defeated him, taking from him in the field 11 guns, re- capturing Cawnpore, aud taking 26 more guns." As to the affair at Agra the same despatch says:—" Oil the 5th of July an obstinate battle was fought before Agra, between the garrison of that place and the Neemuch mutineers, who had marched thither with reinforcements which brought their num- bers up to 10,000 men. Our force was obliged to retire with a heavy loss. Among the officers killed in this action were Major Thomas, Captain Doyly, Lieutenants Lamb, Pond, and Fellowes; and of the civil service, Messrs O'Connor, C. Horn, P. Horn, Carlton, Smith, Jordan, Prendergast, Whiteray, Black, Burd- brauk, Freeze, Outram, Oldfield, and Deedes.

On Tuesday, a public meeting was held at the Mansion House, to devise means for the relief of the sufferers from the mutinous outbreaks in India. The Lord Mayor took the chair at two o'clock. The LORD MAYOR said that he had called the meeting in con- sequence of a requisition presented to him from some of the first mercantile firms in the City. Therequisitionists stated that they had received a letter from Mr James Stuart, of the firm of Messrs Gordon, Stuart, and Co, Calcutta, dated July 4, stating that a great many women and children had arrived in Calcutta in a state of utter destitution, and in want of the common ne- cessaries of life ; that an appeal had been made to the residents in that city for a benevolent subscription to provide clothing and maintenance for them; that up to that date they had got nearly 18,000 rupees, but that they had felt it their duty to commence a subscription in Great Britain f © r the re- lief of the many European families and individuals through- out India who had been reduced to a state of want by the late murderous outbreak. The requisition was signed by some of the chief merchants in the City, and he had no doubt that the appeal made by the requisitionists would be nobly responded to by the country [ applause]. The subject was too painful a oue for him to enter into details, but he hoped they would all support to the utmost of their gower the object of the meeting [ applause]. Several gentlemen would detail what had taken place in India, and he hoped the result would induce them all toadd their mite to relieve the sufferings of their fellow subjects left destitute in India. He had received a great many letters from the first mercantile firms iu the City, the principal members of which had expressed their cordial concur rence in the objects of the meeting, and their intention to aid it by their subscriptions. Colonel HENDERSON said that no eloquence was required to support the resolution which he had to propose. He was quite sure he had only to read the resolution, and to state a few details on the subject to which it referred, in order to ensure for it the unanimous support of the meeting. It was to this effect :— " That this meeting, sympathising with the many helpless suf- ferers by the late mutinies in India, who are reduced to a state of utter destitution, feels itself called upon to record publicly its sense of those calamities, and its detestation of the unheard of atrocities of the rebel army, and of the rabble abettors of its cruelty, to helpless women and children and our unarmed fel- low subjects in the East; and trusts that the energetic efforts of the British Government, and of the Bast India Company, for the repression of the rebellion and the punishment of the guilty, may, by theDiviue blessing. be crowned with the earliest suc- cess." In moving his resolution the colonel went into details of many of the horrors suffered by our countrymen and women. The resolution, it is needless to say, was unanimously agreed to. Sir S. LUSHINGTON begged to propose this resolution:—" That in consideration of the extreme urgency of the case, and the ne- cessity for promptly meeting the wants of the sufferers now literally depending on others in Calcutta and elsewhere for clothing and food, in addition to their cruel loss of husbands and dependents, this meeting most anxiously entreats the benevolent contributions of its fellow citizens, and of the public at large ; and recommends the subscription lists be kept open for three months only at Messrs Smith, Payne, and Co's, the Oriental Bank Corporation, aud the Agra Bank; and that the amounts as collected be dispatched by each mail to the right hon the Go- vernor- General, Lord Canning, to be by his lordship placed at the disposal of the other local governments, of the Calcutta com- mittee, or other recognised distributors employed in India in carrying out the objects in view." This was also carried, Mr THEOBALD then moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting is of opinion that the example of the city of Lon- don is deserving of imitation of other cities and towns in the United Kingdom ; and that the committee to be appointed at this meeting be requested to promote the above suggestion" [ hear, hear]. Alderman ROSE seconded the resolution. He said that this country had pampered up the Bengal army, and that army had turned round upon them and trampled on those British resi- dents who were unfortunately placed within their reach. Under those circumstances it would ill become Englishmen at home not to express their sympathy with those who had been the victims of this rebellion [ hear, hear]. Mr D. SCOTT wished, as a citizen of Glasgow, to express his full concurrence in the objects of the meeting. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr Justice HALLIBURTON proposed the following resolution : —" That the Lady Mayoress and ladies who have honoured this meeting with their presence be solicited further to aid its bene- volent objects by every exertion iu their power; and the meeting feels bound to express its gratitude at this stage of its proceed- ings for the touching sympathy exhibited by the Lady Mayoress and other ladies for the state of their sister countrywomen in the East, and the many orphans and unprotected now described to be destitute and without clothing at Calcutta and elsewhere." The meeting concluded with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. At Calcutta trade, especially in exports, continues paralysed. Exchange 2s 2id to f for Document Bills.

FIRE IN HOLBORN.— A fire, attended with a great destruction of property, happened on Tuesday night on Holborn- hill, near the bridge. The premises belonged to Mr Granville, gun and pistol manufacturer, situated at No, 44, in the above- named thoroughfare. The fire was first discovered by one of the City police, who gave an alarm, and in the course of a few seconds the Royal Society's escape from Hatton- garden, attended under the personal direction of Mr Iuspetor Baddeley. The conductor searched the different beds, but found no one in the upper part of the house, and he had barely sufficient time to leave the place when sheets of flame came rolling up the staircase, and a loud and fearful explosion ( supposed to be gas) followed, which sent two or three of the shutters into the street and blew the door open. The firemeu entered the burning premises, aud also mounted the roofs of the adjoining houses, but so fearfully did the flames extend that very shortly the back part of Mr Ullmer's Sremises, and those of Mr Pry or, became ignited, and the various ouses in King's Head- court and Bartlett's- buildings were placed in such jeopardy that nearly the whole of the owners rushed out into the street with their children and any article of furniture they could lay their hands upon. At one o'clock on Wednesday morning the fire was far from being entirely ex- tinguished, but happily all danger of any further extension of mischief was over. The whole of the lofty pile of Mr Gran- ville's gun factory is totally consumed, those of Mr Ullmer partly destroyed, those of Mr Pryor seriously injured by fire, water, and hasty removal; and the damage done to the property in Bartlett's- buildiugs and King's Head- court is very great. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FFANCE. The excessive drought will, it is feared, cause a further in- crease in the price of meat, which is already hors de prix. It is causing disasters and changes in every quarter. As Galignani observes:—" Thq Seine appears as if it were about to give in its resignation as a river, aud sink to the rank of a mere stream. The day before yesterday it was below the level of 1719. The swimming schools at Paris have been obliged to shift their quarters aud follow the river, which had left them almost dry. Julius Caesar relates in his Commentaries that the Romans, when encamped 0* the heights now called the Butte Ste Gene- vieve, crossed the Seine almost dry- footed, a little above the lie de la Cite, behind Notre Dame, aad thus marched to Pontoise. At this moment the Parisians may cross the rirer at the same place without any danger. As considerable " interest has been excited by the distribution of the medal accorded to such persons as served under the first republic or empire, it may be as well to state that Prince Jerome was the first to whom it was given. His royal highness, before commanding a corps d'armee, was a midshipman; Marshal Vaillawt fleshed his maiden sword ia the Russian eampaigu; Marshal Randon gained his epaulettes of sub- lieutenant at La Moskowa; Admiral Hatuelin first fougiit iu the Indian Seas Admiral Parceval- Desch6nes was at Trafalgar; Marshal Bara-; guay d'Hilliers lost an arm at Leipsic; the Duke of Plaisance was at Marengo ; Marshal Count d'Ornano was already general of division in 1812; and Marshal Magnan was a private soldier in 1807, and major in 1814. By the Emperor's special command, the Minister of Marine has iisued an order to all captains of ships of war to give every aid to English vessels conveying troops to India, and to take them in tow when becalmed. The Moniteur de la Flotte informs us that the English ship Abeona entered the port of Algiers on the 10th inst, having on board 1,085 officers and soldiers for India, This ship having damaged her screw, the British Consul- General had requested Marshal Iiandon, Governor- General of Algeria, to afford a steamer to tow the Abeona to Gibraltar. Marshal Randon having granted the request, the steam- frigate Cacique ( ex- nected from Dellys) would, ou her arrival, tow the Abeona to Gibraltar. The Moniteur contains the text of the treaty of commerce and navigation between France and Russia, of which the ratifi- cations were exchanged at St Petersburg on the 16th of last month. It contains twenty- four articles, and their sub- sections, with three supplementary clauses. The stipulations are highly favourable to French commerce. It is stated ( says the Patrie) that M Arnault, the director of the Hippodrome, has been charged by the Emperor to con- struct a vast hippodrome at the camp of CliMons large enough to contain 15,000 spectators. Extraordinary fetes are to be given there, comprising chariot races, tournaments, and grand equestrian exercises. The Municipal Council of Lille has expressed a wish for the entire destruction of the elaborate fortifications of the town. It is very possible that this desire may be acceded to, and that Vauban's works, recognised as now unnecessary in a military point of view, may cease to fetter the energies of a great com- mercial town struggling to develop itself. Iu case of the demo- lition of these fortifications, another fortress will probably be made nearer the Belgian frontier. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette publishes decrees by which several per- sons are removed from the magistracy. The price of bread advanced. The Governor of Madrid has discovered aud seized several depots of arms. TURKEY. The following announcement sets forth one of the most impu" dent things that was ever performed even by Austria:— The Austrian Cabinet has created the post of special attach^ at the embassy at Constantinople for military affairs, and has appointed Colonel de Lowenthal to fill that position. We read in the Moniteur:—'" The Turkish Government has despatched to the Kaimakan of Moldavia the order to annul the elections which have lately taken place in that province, to re- vise the electoral lists iu the sense of the interpretations agreed upon at Bucharest, and to proceed to new elections after the expiry of fifteen days. The diplomatic relations which have been broken off betveen the representatives of France, Russia, Prussia, aud Sardinia, on the oue liaud, and the Porte 011 the other, will be renewed very shortly." The populace here are much exasperated against the French. A few days ago, at Therapia, a quarrel broke out between some French sailors aud Turkish boatmen, and as they could not understand each other's language, they soon resorted to the use of their fists, and presently of their knives; on each side several were badly wounded before they were parted by the guard. A second affray occurred on the bridge at Galata, where an officer of the French steamer Ajaccio, having been accidentally jostled by a Turkish officer, attempted to strike him with his whip, but the latter anticipated him with a blow in the face, and the eyeglass or spectacles he wore being broken, he was dangerously injured by the fragments of the glass. Several Turkish soldiers came up and would have killed the Frenchman, had not the same Turkish officer protected him. The following ridiculous statement has its purpose. A letter from Schumla, in the Zeit of Berlin, says:—" The hardships endured by the Christians in the European provinces of Turkey are most cruel. At Tirnowar a young lad was carried off by a Turkish officer of rank, and compelled to become a Mussulman. In the villages of Sardiua and Ossaka several Christian females have been carried off by Turks. At Rasgrad a young girl was snatched from the arms of her parents ; and in this town a boy was carried off, iu spite of all the claims and representations of the bishop." RUSSIA. The following is instructive:— The Russian Government, after the war, published an order for the organisation of the fleet iu the Pacific Ocean, which was to assume the title of the squadron of Siberia. The Government appears now to have decided on increasing the strength of this fleet, a ukase of the 20th Julv having added fourteen superior officers to it, who have already left for their destination, and a - similar number will, from 1st January, 1858, be added annually. This measure is connected with the efforts which Russia is using to strengthen her position 011 the Pacific. AUSTRIAN ITALY. Several priests have been excommunicated lately by Lombard bishops, for denying that belief in the Immacula'te Conception is necessary to salvation. At Pavia four ecclesiastics, renowned for their erudition, morality, and charity, having been thus placed under ban, the people became incejised, and tore down the placards announcing the excommunication of those men, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. TROOPS POR INDIA.— 14 officers and 258 men of the 44tli Regt embarked on Wednesday at Portsmouth in the clipper ship Hersilia; 14 officers and 296 men of the 72d Highlanders em- barked at the same time in the Matilda Atheling. The officers of the 44th are— Lieut- Col M'Mahon, Capts F. N. Gregory, W. Handecock, aud Walters; Lieuts Kay, Haywarth, and Kendal • Ensigns Anderson, Webster, Briggs, Foley, Trimmer, and Lewis • Assistant- Surgeon Johnson. The officers of the 72d are— Major Thellusson, Capts Best, the Hon Fitzmaurice, Hunter; Lieuts Cameron, Beresford, and the Hon Fitzraaurice; Ensigns Stewart M'Kianofl, M'Kay, Benfield, and Kildahl; Assistant- Surgeon Rutter. The sailing- ship Alipore, belonging to W. S. Lindsav and Co, fitted out at Deptford to receive the artillery troops for Kurrachee, went down to Woolwich ou Tuesday evening. Her troops are to consist of Lieut- Col E. Price, Lieut W. Stirling Adjutant; Lieut A. T. C. Peurse ( Pearse), Quartermaster - Capt A. F. Connell, in command of the X field battery • Captain H. A. Thrupp; Lieutenant Francis T. A. Law, Lieutenant B. F. Schreiber, Lieutenant W. Newman; Assistant- Surgeon R. A. Chapelle; Veterinary Surgeon J. H. Carter, and 184 rank and file ; 20 gunners and drivers to join two companies already embarked; two sergeants, as clerk and storekeeper and two hospital sergeants— total, 10 officers and 298 men.— It having been determined that every regiment of infantry'in India shall consist of 10 companies of 100 rank and file, and 2 depot companies of 100 rank aud file each, the distribution of the establishment will be as follows, viz:— 10 companies in India— 2 lieutenant- colonels, 2 majors, 10 captains, 12 lieu- tenants, 8 ensigus, 7 staff, 57 sergeants, 21 drummers, 1,000 rank and file ; 2 depdt companies— 2 captains, 2 lieutenants', 2' ensigns 10 sergeants, 4 drummers, 200 rank and file. Total— 2 lieu- tenant- colonels, 2 majors, 12 captains, 14 lieutenants, 10 ensigns, 7 staff, 67 sergeauts, 25 drummers, and 1,200 rank and file. The 1st division of the 56th Regiment embarked at Queenstown on board the Southampton transport sailing vessel ou Monday, which sailed direct for India next morning. They were con- veyed from Cork direct on board by the river steamers Royal Alice and Prince, and ou leaving the quay were loudlv cheered by the crowds assembled to witness their departure"; also as they passed the railway steamers on the river, they were saluted with a hearty and sympathetic cheer from those on board, which they returned with treble energy. The division consisted of four companies, comprising 354 non- commissioned officers and men, under the command of Major Peaty. AUGMENTATION OP THE ARMY.— The despatch of troops to India has lowered our home establishment of infantry of the line to 14 battalions, instead of 40, the proper porportion for the United Kingdom. The arrival of four regiments from the Medi- terranean iu the course of a few days will augment the home strength to 18 battalions; but, on the other hand, it is mere than probable that a further reduction will take place in consequence of the despatch of more regiments to India. It is quite obvious that for some time it will be necessary to maintain a consider- able European force in that country, and whatever force is there must have a reserve of corresponding strength at home to supply casualties. It has therefore been determined to make a consi- derable addition to the army immediately, which will consist, at the least, of 20 uew battalions of infantry. Even with this augmentation there will be no necessity to apply to Parliament for a vote, for, owing to the extent of the Indian reinforcements already despatched, we are now maintaining two cavalry and 24 infantry regiments less than those which are provided for in the estimates. THE LATE SIR HENRY BARNARD.— Lieutenant- General Sir Henry William Barnard, K. C. B., whose death from dvsentery before the walls of Delhi is reported in the telegraphic despatch from the East, was a son of the late Rev Wm. Barnard, LL. B., of Water Stratford, Bucks, by the daughter of Moore Disney, Esq, of Church Town, county Waterford. He entered the ariuy in 1814, as ensign in a foot regiment, and served for many years in the Grenadier Guards. In 1815 he was attached to the staff of his uncle, the late Sir Andrew Barnard, while he held the post of commandant of Paris; aud from 1S19 to 1820 was aide- de- camp to the general in command of the northern district. He was for some time aide- de- camp to Sir John ( afterwards Lord) Keane, during his command in the West Indies. From 1847 to 1852 he held the post of assistant adjutant- general in tho northern district, and from 1852 to 1854 commanded the South Wales district. In the latter year he was sent out to the Crimea as major- general, commanding one of the brigades. He sub- sequently became Chief of the Staff in the Crimea, under General Simpson, up to the date of the appointment of General Wind- ham, and commanded a brigade as lieutenant- general for a short time before the close of the late war. He came out, however, after the great Crimean battles had been fought, and was not personally engaged in either of the assaults on the Russian lines. In 1856 he was made a K. C. B., and appointed successively to the command of the troops at Corfu, and of a division at Shorncliffe and Dover, aud finally Was placed as major- general on the staff of the Bengal army in November last, when he pro- ceeded to India. He succeeded to the command of the troops before Delhi in June last, on the sudden death of General Anson, whom he has followed to the grave after an interval of only about four weeks' duration. THE LATE SIR HENRY LAWRENCE, K. C. B.— Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, whose death in a sortie beneath the walls of Lucknow was announced in the telegraph from India, was a very distinguished officer, of Irish birth and extraction, and one of whose services in India Ireland may well feel proud. He was the elder brother of Sir John Laird Muir Lawrence, Chief Commissioner of the Punjab, being the eldest son of the late Lieutenant- Colonel Alexander William Lawrence, some time governor of Upnor Castle, who distinguished himself by his gal- lantry at Seriugapatam. He entered the military service of the Hon E. I. Company, as a cadet in the Bengal Artillery, in 1821 and soon obtained the reputation of being one of the most able and energetic of its officers. He served in the Cabul campaign, under General Sir George Pollock, in 1843, and shortly after- wards received the rank of major. In the same year he became British Resident at Nepaul. He afterwards took part in the campaigns on the Sutlej, after which he was made a Military Companion of the Bath, and promoted to the rank of lieutenant- colenel. Iu 1846 he was appointed Resident at Lahore, and agent for the Governor- General on the north- western frontier. It was for his able services in the administration of this important office that he was made K. C. B. ( civil) iu 1848. But it is not only as a brave soldier or as an eminent civilian that Sir H. Lawrence will be missed, high as his character stood in both capacities. As a frank, open, honourable, and straightforward man, and as a generous aud unselfish friend, his loss will fall as heavily on private society in India as on the public service. As an instance of his generosity, we may mention that for many years, whilst drawing a handsome revenue from his official employments, he devoted all that he could spare of his yearly salary to the foun- dation of aa . asylum for the orphan children of European soldiers, which bears his name, and will long stand as a memorial of his good deeds on the hills between Simla and Umballah. DEPARTURE OE THE LIGHTNING.— The Times of Friday contains the following account of the departure of the 7th Hussars for India:— Yesterday morning thn whole of the men of the 7th Hussars and draughts from various regiments, to the number in all of 654, with 30 officers, embarked from Tilbury on board the celebrated clipper Lightning. The men seemed, one and all, in splendid condition and high spirits, and were bid adieu to with the usual accompaniments of cheers and tears, all more or less hearty. Every preparation had been made for their reception on board the Lightning, but, in spite of all, the pro- verbial hurry, worry, and confusion of a troop- ship were pre- sented in their most prominent form. The men were collected on deck for a lo » g time, while the muster- roll was called over, after which tedious but highly necessary preliminary they begau to settle down, though an inexperienced person would be slow to perceive that their exertions had any such tranquilising result in view. What with armourers' boxes, carbine racks, men's tins, kits, and general equipments, ship's stores, aud crowds of aaeu, the Babel seemed hopeless to the last degree. Only the hearty good humour and " with- a- will" disposition which per vaded all on board, both troops and crew, could ever contend with such a military chaos as yesterday existed on board the lightning. Nor was it a whit bettor in the gorgeous saloons allotted to the officers. There it seemed an interminable succes- sion of lunches and heavy packages, ' with a supplementary melange of telegraoh boys with last messages, army tailors fight- insr for realizable propositions, visitors, garrison officials, officers, and their relatives aud friends. The amount af equipment in the way of furniture which officers brought on board, and which, as a matter of course, they found totally useless, and only lumber in their cabin, was something astounding. Is there no retired Indian officer of experience who will publish a little book pointing out what officers really do require when going to India? He would be a benefactor to the army. As it was uncertain what time the vessel would really start, of course the applications from ardent subs for 24 hours' leave were rather numerous, but they were finally put an end to by instructions that the Lightning should get under way by 7 o'c'ockjlast evening. This she accordingly did, and was towed down the river by the Resolute, one of the two tugs recently built at. Liverpool. andfthe largest and mo- 1 powerful ever yet constructed. To the last hour of the Lightning's stay, routine was triumphant, and the number of documents which the officers bad to sign and the number of signatures neces- sary to each document were something quite marvellous. Same there were by no means loth to express their opinion of the anoy- ance, as fresh applications for their autographs in ten or twelve fresh places came in every moment. No one for a minute sup- poses that the troops will not get ammunition 011 their arrival in India, yet a large quantity is sent in each troopship, though the practice is gravely obj ected to by our most experienced naval aud military officers. But it has been the custom aud is so perse- vered in, and it has not been the custom yet to give the men their light clothing till their arrival in India, and that is persevered in too, though each day shows the necessity for reversing the rules. The troopships now take a quantity of powder which they do not want, and which, ef course, risks their ever arriving in India at all, aud they leave behind the light clothing which they are far from certain of getting in India, though they are quite certain that without it | the men will be utterly helpless when they do arrive. This is certainly a fair specimen of " rou- tine." For the rest the troops are most comfortable on board, and, if we may judge from the following dietary, ought to arrive at their destination in good condition :— SCALE OP VICTUALLING POR TROOPS TO INDIA FOR A MESS OP Six MEN.— For two days: Beef, 121b.; flour, 5lb.; suet, lib.— For one day : Preserved meat, 4| lb.; rice, 31b.— For three days: Pork, 181b.; peas, 6 pints ; preserved potatoes, 2lb. 4oz.— For one day: Flour, 51b.; sueb, fib,; plumbs, lib. lloz.— For seven days: Ground pepper, l^ oz.; mustard, Jib.; biscuit, un- limited in quantity; salt butter, l^ lb. ; tea, lib.; sugar, 91b.; vinegar, 3 pints; porter, 42 pints; pickles, 2i pints; lime juiee, 21oz. THE NEW COMMANDER AT DELHI.— Major- General Thomas Reed, C. B., who was appointed to the command of the troops before Delhi, 011 the death of General Barnard, is an officer of experience, and has seen much service. He entered the army in 1813, and was present at the Battle of Waterloo. Since he has commanded a division of the Bengal army he has participated iu several important engagements. I11 1846 Major- General Reed commanded abrigade of the army of the Sutlej, and was wounded and had a horse kil'ed under him at the battle of Ferozeshah. A medal was conferred upon him for his bravery. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

BREACH OP PROMISE,— At Liverpool, on Monday, au action was brought by a Mrs Moorhouse, widow, against Mr Alcock, to recover damages for breach of promise of marriage.— Mr Hill, in openina the case, said the plaintiff was a widow, aged 28, who in 1849 had been married to a Mr Moorhouse, who died in 1855. She was his second wife, and had no children, but her husband had a large family by his former wife. Iu October last she was travelling in a railway carriage from Northampton to Man- chester, where she resided. In that carriage she met the de- fendant, Mr Samuel Alcock, a gentleman about 60 years of age, who was in independent circumstances, and lived in Cheadle. On meeting with the plaintiff the defendant had been struck with her personal attractions, and introduced himself to her notice. He then obtained her address, and on the following day he wrote to her, commencing, " My dear Mrs Moorhouse : You will be surprised at the liberty I have taken in writing to you." The letter went on to say he expected to be in Manchester in a day ortwo, and would call on her. She allowed him to call, and hedid so. On the day following this visit he wrote another letter, commencing " My dearest Lizzie," and saying that he had experienced the greatest pleasure from his visit to No 8, Bur- lington- street, the residence of theplaintiff, and expressed a hope that the plaintiff would soon write to him. Subsequently— still writing to her as his " dearest Lizzie"— he invited her and her sister, who resided with her, to visit him in Cheadle. This they did, and he talked to the plaintiff, in the presence of her sister, about the preparations for their marriage, which he wished to take place in March last, and showed the plaintiff his houses and other property in Cheadle. Ultimately, however, he changed his mind as to the marriage, and refused to complete the con- tract. No defence was set up, and the jury found for theplaiutiff. Damages— £ 250, costs 40s, ANOTHER BREACH OP PROMISE— At Liverpool, on Wednes- day, the case of Raven v Bell was tried. The plaintiff was a Miss Raven, a dressmaker, residing with her sister in Liverpool. They were the daughters of a master mariner, who at his death left his family scantily provided for, and the daughters, first in Whitehaven, where the father lived, and afterwards iH Liver- pool, took in dressmaking for a livelihood, and also let lodgings. Iu 1849, the defenda » t, at that time a clerk to a Liverpool corn- broker, came to board and lodge with the plaintiff and her sis- ter, and formed an apparently strong attachment to the former. He got into arrears with his lodging payments, but in conside- ration of the attachment he was not pressed for money. It was understood that they were to be married when defendant's cir- cumstances improved. He became ill, however, and poer, but, notwithstanding, he was for several years boarded and lodged, and treated with great kindness by the Ravens. He got better, and obtained a situation as the manager of a coliirry near Wrexham, whither he removed, and so speedily forgot his old love and his other obligations that the plaintiff was surprised to hear shortly afterwards of his marriage. She went over to seehim, and during the interview he admitted that he had treated her badly, and wrote a formal letter, in which he stated that he was sorry for the part he bad acted towards her, that he had blighted her happiness, and that he would endeavour to make her all the pecuniary recompense in his power. He had since paid about £ 40, which counsel for the defence urged was ample compensa- tion, but, on the other hand, it was stated that a bond fide debt of £ 100 had been incurred for board and lodging.— Mr Conway, iu addressing the jury, said that it was entirely a money ques- tion; there was no romance about it, and the jury must look at it in the same light as they would a bale of goods.— Mr James said that the plaintiff had lost the opportunity of an excellent marriage with a gentleman who had proposed to her since her engagement to the defendant, but which proposal she bad re- fused in consequence of that engagement— The learned Judge, in summing up, said that the question could not be regarded in the same light as a bale of cotton or a cargo of guano, which were subject to a rise and fall of the market, The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— £ 100. THE LATE BISHOP BLOMPIELD'S WILL,— It is understood that Bishop Blomfield has left about £ 55,000 behind him. Besides Mrs Blomfield, there are ten or eleven to be provided for out of the sum we have mentioned. It is highly cieditable to the memory of one often unjustly reproached for his love of wealth that, after nearly thirty years'enjoyment of a revenue amounting to from £ 18.000 to £ 25,000. he has saved com- paratively little. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY- THE DIVORCE BILL.— The house having pro- ceeded to consider the amendments of the Commons to the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill, Lord REDESDALE opposed taking them into consideration. He objected to the introduction of local jurisdiction, and considered that the four new causes for which, by the Commons' amendments, a wife might sue for a divorce, were essentially erroneous, aud that the remedy devised as a substitute for an action of crim con was, in fact, nothing but a revival in a new form of that action itself. A fine on the adulterer might be imposed without any such action. He also disapproved the clause which required clergymen who con- scientiously objected to marry the divorced parties to surrender their churches for the performance of the ceremony. The narties might go before the registrar, and then proceed to any parish in the kingdom where tne clergyman was willing to perform the ceremony. It was evident, he observed, that the people wore only just becoming sensible of the probable effects of the bill, and to piecipitate the measure was not doing justice either to the country or to Parliament.— The LORD CHANCELLOR said the arguments of Lord Rede- sdale did not refer to the question whether the amendments shouid be taken into consideration then or that day six months, but whether those amendments were or were not improvements of the bill. The merits and demerits of those parts of tha bill to which Lord Redesdale had adverted were discussed by their lordships before the bill was sent down to the Commons.— After a long discussion t'-^ e house divided, and Lord Redesdale was defeated by 46 to 44. The amendments were then considered, and the amendment allowing jurisdiction iu sucti cases to the court of quarter sessions was caucelled, as was also a clause granting divorce to a wife where the husband committed adultery iu the conjugal residence.— On the motion of the Bishop of OXFORD, the words " guilty of aaultery" were rein- serted for the purpose of providing that when the husband had been guilty of adultery the court should dismiss his petition— the contents being 39, non- contents 35.— The clergy clause and the other amendments of the Commons were, after a division, agreed to, and their lordships adjourned. TUESDAY- PROMOTION IN THE ARMY.— Lord PAN- MURE said, I take this opportunity, before your lordships adjourn for the recess, to present the report of the commission appointed by her Majesty to inquire into the sale and purchase of commis- sions in ; i> e army. The report has already been presented to the other House of Parliament, and it is on account of the evi dence given before the commission that I am anxious that evidence should be in th-* hands of ycur lordships durii g the recess. I shall carefully abstain from making ariy remarks ou the report, whi; h I shall now lay before your lordships, but there are some facts with regard to it which I think it right your lordships should know. Ten members were originally ap- pointed under the commission. This report is sigued by six members, including my noble friend the Duke of Somerset, the chairman of the commission; but one of the six, SirDe L. Evans, entered a protest at the end of the report, aud intimated his in- tention to send through the chairman of the commission a se- parate document stating his own opinioa. Four other members of the commission have refused to sign the report, as they differ from the opinions which it contains, and Mr Elliee, one of those commissioners, has intimated to me officially that it is bis in- tention to send in a separate report in his own name, and also in the names of Sir H. Bentinck and General Wynyard, which will reach me during the recess, and which I shall be prepared to lay upon the table at the commencement of next session. I may add further, that the other commissioner— Col. Wetherali— before the evidence was entirely complete, entered into active service in China, and is in China at present, discharging military duties. I shall have an opportunity of communicating with him before Parliament meet again, and I daresay I shall be abletheu to announce his opinion with regard to this very important subject. I thouaht it necessary to make these remarks, because it is quite clear that as the report is signed by one- half of the commissioners, it ought not to go forth to the country as a report unanimously agreed to by the whole of the commission [ hear]. The noble lord then laid the report ou the table. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— THE TRANSIT AND TROOPS FOR INDIA,— Lord PALMERSTON stated that the Government were not in possession of any further information as to the loss of the Transit beyond that contained in the telegraphic despatch, which was somewhat confused.— In answer to an inquiry by Mr. Griffith, Lord PALMERSTON said no particular communi- cation had passed between her Majesty's Government and the Pasha of Egypt respecting the conveyance of British troops through that country, but during the Crimeau war such an application had been made to the Pasha, and no objection fcad been offered by his highness or by the Turkish Government, but everv facility was given to the passage of British troops. TUESDAY.— THE GERMAN LEGION.— Mr ADDERLEY, referring to a statement by Mr Labouohere that the German legionaries at the Cape of Good Hope were on full pay at the expense of the British treasury, inquired the date when they were put on full pay, the causes ana reasons, and whether they were to be kept permanently on full pay.— Mr LABOUCHERE, ia the course of explanations upon the subject, stated that the Legion soon after their arrival at the Cape were for certain reasons called out and embodied ; that Sir George Grey had re- ceived an application from Bombay for two regiments of British troops, aud that the Government were in communication with Sir George as to the expediency of sending further reinforce- ments from the Cape. THE INDIAN ARMY.— Inquiries upon other points were made by Sir DE LACY EVANS and Major S. WORTLEY.— In reply to the former, Mr V. SMITH said it was not intended at present to increase the force of the East India Company's Euro- pean troops. DIVORCE BILL,— On the consideration of the reasons assigned by the Lords for disagree ins <* ith certain aaiendments of the Commons in the Divorce aud Matrimonial Causes Bill, Sir G. GREY said there had been a misapprehension as to the effect of the Lords' division on the 28th clause, the majority having been in fact in concurrence with the decision of the Commons.— The amendment of the Lords excluding the quarter sessions from the iocal jurisdiction clause was agreed to without objec- tion.— The amendment omitting from the 25th clause the words " or of adultery committed in the conjugal residence" was op- posed by Mr HENLEY, and after same discussion the house divided, when the Lords' amendment was carried ( the Commons not insisting upon their own amendment) by 43 to 11. The house adjourned at twenty minutes to four o'clock until Friday. THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON.— On Tuesday au inquest was held in the Queen's Prison on the body of Robert Henderson Robertson, who died from wounds inflicted by An- tonio De Salvi The matter which was the subject of inquiry has been so frequently before the public that it will be unneces- sary to do more iu the outset than to state that the deceased was confined in the Queer's Prison at tha suit of De Salvi and Mr Gower, aud that on the 8bi. i of July they both went to the Queen's Prison, accompanied by a solicitor, named Thomson, for the purpose of endeavouring to effect some arrangement with the'deceased relative to the payment of the debt. It ap- peared that the deceased was disinclined to make any such ar- rangement, aud denied that he owed the money, ana the con- sequence was that De Silvi became fearfully excited and sud- denly drew a uagger- knife and stabbed the deceased in the face, and the temples, and the nape of the neck, the blade of the knife breaking in the last mentioned wound. The injuries were from the first felt to be so dangerous that it was known the deceased could not survive, but he lingered until Saturday week, when he expired. Upon the supposition that Mr Gower had made use of some expression of encouragement to De Salvi, they were both committed upon the charge of wounding with intent to murder ; but the grand jury ignored the bill against Mr Gower, who had b « en admitted' to bail, and De Salvi was tried and convicted on Friday week at the Central Criminal Court, upou a minor count in the indictment of wound- ing with iutent to do grievous bodily harm, and sentenced to fifteen years' peual servitude.— Mr Wakeoi, the surgeon of the prison, stated that the deceased died on Saturday evening, and on the following morning he made a post mortem examination. He said that all the wounds this unfortunate man had received had entirely healed externally, and he only considered it neces- sary to make a minute examination of the one at the nape of the neck, in which he had always believed the broken portion of tha knife still remained. He ascertained that the spinal cord had been divided, and discovered about two inches of the pointed portion of the blade of a knife imbedded in one of the verteoi ai, which had entered to such an extent as to require consider- able force to remove it. The cause of death was paralysis produced by the division of the spinal cord and the consequent exhaustion that followed upon an injury of this description.— The coroner, in summing, said : With regard to De Salvi, it ap- peared to him it would be impossible for the jury, if they believed the evidence, to return any other verdict than one of Wilful Murder. There was no provocation of auy kind that in law would reduce the crime to manslaughter, for if a blow had been struck, which was not even suggested, that would not have jus- tified the use of a deadly weapon. As to Mr Gower, he could only be implicated in the matter by what was termed in la, w being a principal in the second degre « , by aiding aud inciting to the commission of the offence; and to snake that out they must be satisfied that he knew what De Saivi was doing, and that he was aware he was making use of a deadly weapon. It appeared to him that there was little or no evidence to warrant such an assumpton aud he reminded them that Mr Thompson, who was present all the time, stated that he never saw any wea- pon in the hands of De Salvi, and he imagined that, he was strik- ing the deceased with his fist until lies saw him bleeding. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Antonio de Salvi only. ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY.— Oa Tuesday an accident occurred on this line, near Reigate, but fortunately without any fatal result. It seems the 1: 30 passenger irain was rather before its time on passing Horley, the next station south of Reigate, and the accident took place before the train was actually due at the spot where it occurred. A luggage train was being shunted, to allow the passenger train to pass, and the latter ran into it. The effect of the collision was to throw the engine of the passenger train off the rails. The tender aud guard's break did not leave the metals, but several of the first and second class carriages were thrown off, and their inmates much shaken. There were a great many pass- ngers in the train, and among them several persons of distinction. Happily none of them appear to have been dangerously hurt, and all were able to come on to London immediately after the accident, except the Hon Mrs Hanbury Tracy, who remains at Reigate under medical care. The venerable Ducliess of Inverness and the Bishop of Oxford were in one carriage. Tile duchess, we regret to learn, was much shaken. The bishop fortunately escaped unhurt. Among the individuals who suffered more or less by the collision may be mentioned the Rev Mr Clark, of Woodford, in Essex, who sustained a severe hurt in his back ; Mr Ramsay, of Mill Hill, an injury to the back of his head; Mr Bloom field, of 30, Tavistock- square, an injury in the knees ; Mrs John Thornhille, of 53, Holy well- street, Strand, an injury in the breast; Miss Curtis, of 1, Chester- square, an ii jury to the eye ; Mr W. Holm, of Brighton, a severe injury on the nose • and a female domestic in the service of Miss Dyneley, of 78, Upper Berkeley- street, who was much bruised. The first guard of the train escaped unhurt, but the rear guard was not so fortunate. The engine driver, Taylor, was much shaken. He has been a long time in the company's service, and was generally considered a steady and careful man. He is in custody, aud has been remanded for examination. The ordinary traffic of the line was resumed at five o'clock on Tuesday eveniug. FIRE AT BRIXTON.— On Wednesday afternoon a fire took place iu the premises belonging to Mr Spratt, a builder and saw- mill proprietor, in Langton- place, Brixton. The building was of considerable extent, and stretched in one direction upwards of 50 feet, and in the other between 30 feet and 40 feet. The place was fitted up with most expensive goods, and the stock contained therein was of great value. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock- in- trade the fire travelled so rapidly that, in less than five minutes the entire length aud width of the manufac- turing premises presented a general sheet of flame, and the conflagration was attacking with the greatest vigour the steam saw- mills and other buildings. A most abundant supply of water was immediately procured, but owing to the firm hola the flames had obtained, it w& s found impossible to check the violence of the fire until the whole of the factory was consumed and all its valuable contents, not excepting the men's working tools. The saw- mills, machinery, and also the counting- houses, are, in addition, seriously damaged by fire. Several of the fire- men narrowly escaped, owing to the felling of the works. Fortu- nately the sufferer was insured in the Atlas Fire Office. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE AT ST JAMES'S BATHS,— TVTO MEN SCALDED TO DEATH.— ON Wednesday evening an inquest was held touching, the death of John Ridgvrell, aged 40, an engineer, late in the etc ploy of the St James's Baths, which was occasioned by an escape of steam into a boiler, in consequence of tho un- protected state of the valve attacked thereto. Three men suf- fered from the melancholy occurrence, which took place on the 22d ult, a few days subsequent to which James White, one of the sufferers, died, and upon whose body an inquest was held. The coroner animadverted iu the strongest terms upon the gross neglect of the company in not having a proper guard to the valve of the boiler, and, addressing the father of the de- ceased, who is principal engineer at the establishment, observed that should another accident occur involving the loss of life, he ( the coroner) should consider it his duty to commit him to New- gate for manslaughter. A verdict was then returned of Acci dental Death, with a recommendation to the proprietors of the baths to have a protection round the valves of the boilers. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 30, 1857. [ T 0 W N E D I T I 0 N. J THE tubf. EETTINGr AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, AUG 24.— The Room was well attended, but the York settling chiefly occupied attention until late in the after- noon, when we were enabled to make out the following list of quotations. Both the favourites for the Leger were in good demand, and the mare, who was backed quietly fer upwards of a thousand pounds at odds varying from 7 to 6 to 4, was in much better odour than for some weeks previously. 5 to 2 was taken rather freely about Ignoramus.

We hail this as an immense step to the restoration of the spring and July meetings to the position they are entitled to take in the sporting world, as the abolition of this now useless requirement will no doubt cause a greater number of horses to be trained at Newmarket, and create larger entries for the various stakes. MONMOUTH RACES.— Our advertising columns point out that several of the races will close on Tuesday next. It will be seen that there are two new prizes given, one the gift of the ladies of the neighbourhood, and the other by his grace the Duke of Beaufort, one of the stewards. The meeting, ic is expected, will be a bumper. The railroad will be open in a few days from New- port, Abergavenny, and Hereford. BEVERLEY SPRING MEETING.— The success which has at- tended the Beverley Summer Meeting has tempted the com- xaittee to try their hand at a spring one, and the sport will con- sist of a steeple chase or two, a hurdle race, and three or four flat races. The meeting is fixed for the day after Doucaster Spring. MANCHESTER AUTUMN MEETING.— We beg to direct the at- tention of owners and trainers to the advertisement of this meeting, from which it will be seen that several important Stakes close and name on Tuesday next. A match for £ 500 a side, £ 200 ft, T. Y. C., has been made for one of the Newmarket October Meetings, 1859, between Mr F. Robinson's Antonio, 8st 71b, and Lord Glasgow's colt by Bar- batus out of Maid of Masham, 8st. YARMOUTH RACES.— The name of Mr Lacon— a member of the Race Committee— was erroneously printed Lucas ia cur re- port of this meeting. NOMENCLATURE.— Mr T. Bell has given the following names: — Colt by The Flying Dutchman out of Speedwell, 2 yrs, Wouver- ractns-, yearling colt by Pyrrhus the First out of Kate, Thermo- • pola; yearling filly by Bay Middleton out of Tricolour's dam, Marsellaise: yearling filly by Neasham out of Whirl, Miss Dinsdale; and yearling filly by Kingston out of Nightshade, The Eltham Beauty. Lord Clifden has named his two year old bay filly by Surplice out of Beeswax, Hydromel. Bracken, Mufti, King Chat, Orson, and Brother to Pumice- stone, the property of the Earl of Wilton, were brought to the hammer on Wednesday last at Radcliffe Races, but oaly one lot was disposed of, namely, King Chat for 32gs; Bracken and Mufti were bought in at lOOgs each, Brother to Pumicestone at 60gs, and Orson at 46gs. The brood mare Honey Dear, by Plenipotentiary out of My Dear, by Bay Middleton out of Miss Letty, by Priam, with a ehesnut colt foal by Birdcatcher, and stinted toTeddington, was sold to Mr Grahara on Thursday last, at Messrs Bretherton and Harrison's Repository, Birmingham, for 220gs. Mr Chilton has sold Norton to go abroad, and he is struck out of all his engagements in England. Sir Lydston Newman's yearling filly by West Australian, dam by Don John out of Sweetmeat's dam, died on Saturday last. YORK AUGUST WICK AUTUMN TEE MEETINGS.

THE BANK ROBBERY AT TORONTO.— The Toronto Globe of the 6th says, a most painful train of circumstances has come to light in regard to the robbery committed last week upon the government agency of the Bank of Upper Canada. The con- dition of the office the morning after the robbery was committed, and the absence of any appearance of violence upon the bank safe, led to suspicions that the deed was done from within and not from without; and these suspicions were confirmed by the discovery that the glass in the window, cut by the burglars so as to remove the inside fastenings and enable them to pass into the room, was cut with a diamond from the inside and not from without. The agent, Mr Cummings. was thereupon subjected to a close examination, and all his books and papers minutely overhauled. We regret to say that this investigation disclosed the fact that Mr Cummings liad for some time been secretly lending the funds of the bank ( entrusted to him for Government purposes) to various individuals; and that at the moment of the robbery lie was largely in default to the bank. A change was just about being made in the mode of conducting the govern- ment agency, which must have led to the detection of the whole affair, and the suspicion naturally followed that a mock robbery was got up to avert discovery. Criminal informations, on this belief, were immediately laid by the officers of the bauk against Mr Cumtrdngs, and certain parties to whom he avers he lent the missing money. We have not ascertained the names of all the parties implicated, though rumour points to more than one in- dividual occupying a prominent position. There is no doubt, however, of the melancholy fact that warrants have issued for the arrest of Mr J. T. Kerby, barrister of this city, and Mr M'Gaffey, formerly a contractor, and now director of the Northern Railway. Mr M'Gaffey was apprehended yesterday afternoon, but at a late hour last night neither Mr Cummings jxor Mr Kerby had been arrested. TO THE EDITOR OS BELL'S LIEE IN LONDON. SIR : The late meeting at York, although it has preserved its recently acquired prestige, cannot, I think, be said to have arrived at that happy state of perfection which certain of the authorities fancy it has reached. The complaint under which it is suffering is, I admit, a rare one— un embarras des richesses— and if more tact was exhibited in drawing out the programme by diminishing the number of t wo year old races, increasing the handicaps, and adding a handsome weight for age prize like the Ascot or Doncaster Cups, better sport would be displayed, and we should be spared a repetition of encouuters between animals whose form has been exhibited only an hour or two previously. The objections against the extension of the meeting are the most futile that, through a pretty long experience of the Turf, I ever heard urged; and emanating from parties who are desirous of being thought warm friends to the races, and Yorkshiremen moreover, they seem still more " passing strange." You, sir. as was properly remarked last week, not only wish well to racing at York, but to racing all over the country generally, and there, fore would not lend your powerful influence to the establish, ment or a fourth day, unless satisfied of its real value to the meeting and of its being strongly acquiesced in by the leading trainers of the day. Twelve races for two year olds in three days are assuredly as much too many as three handicaps are too few; whereas, with a fourth day those items could be more equally divided, and with a fresh handicap on a large scale, and a weight for age Cup, Knavesmire would face the Rhoodee of Chester and the Town Moor of Doncaster on equal terms. The debate in the Committee, I hear, was so close a shave that it is to be feared the authorities will not have the courage of the Ministerial leader of the House of Lords in the debate of Monday, and insist OH standing on the measure to the last; but if the experiment is fairly carried out on its merits I h& vd not a scintilla of doubt that the Opposition will have the candour to avow their error ia having a want of con- fidence in Yorkshiremen to support their native races. That the recent meeting was a fair average one I aai prepared to admit, nor do I doubt its success in a pecuniary point of view; but beyond this I am not disposed to go, for the Ebor Handicap was a wretched failure, and the Great Yorkshire a foregone conclu- sion for some time previously. No bright St Leger star dawned in the horizon, and only some three or four horses were knocked out for that event, viz, Strathnaver, Drumour, Sydney, and Kent. For the Derby we saw no youngster with any preten- sions equal to those of Mr Howard's pair at Ascot, whilst the discomfiture of Cock- a- doodle- doo and Streamer must have caused their baekers to regret the precipitation of their in- vestments. These facts, sir, I think challenge denial, and I hope next year we shall have the old- fashioned Ebor and Great York- shire fields, with contests worthy of the days of Meaux and Ellerdale, and Old Dan Tucker and Nunnykirk. Then York may hold up its revered head and regard without a pang of jealousy the advent of its neighbour Doncaster. But few of the events of Wednesday will bear commenting upon, as the inference to be drawn from them was so very ob. vious. In the Biennial, for three year olds, the objection I urged against the ability of Strathuaver to stay over a mile and a half, founded on his Ascot exhibition withArsenal, was fully sustained, and henceforth I conclude Strathnaver's name will not be mentioned in connection with the St Leger betting. Tasmania's performance in the Yorkshire Oaks wa3 a game but not a bright one, and, by the way she improved upon it on the fol. lowing day it is clear that distance and not speed is her forte. In the Convivial Stakes Star of the East did not shine, and although at first I was inclined to attribute Sister to Ellington's success to Aldcroft's luck in getting away with her, the style in which she subsequently settled Sunbeam for the Rawcliffe Produce, Lord of Lorn for the Gimcrack, and tackled Princess Royal for the latter race ( the result of which must con- vince Mr Saxon of having lost many a race this year for the want of an artiste like Flatman) induces me to alter my opinion of her, and give the mare that credit to which she is fairly en- titled. A Queen's Plate does not often bring about so inte- resting an encounter as a match between a Leger winner and a horse like Fisherman. The result, though not in accordance with the betting, was, I submit, a reasonable one, when it is considered tliatMr Nichol's horse was, literally speaking, " fresh as a four year old," whilst Fisherman had been running once or twice a week all over the country, and had nothing to help him in the race; yet in the face of their defeat Wells and Fisherman— arcades ambo—& t once started off to Abingdon, and after travel* ling all night won the principal handicap there carrying 9st 71b the following day, and. Wells was back again at York on Friday!! Thursday only required an improvement in the Ebor to render it as interesting an afternoon's sport as could be desired. The flagrant conduct of parties connected with cer. tain horses engaged in this race, which were vanned to the spot, led on to the course, and then struck out at the last moment, was properly animadverted upon in your gra- phic report; and, as it came under the personal observation of that nobleman whose letter upon Turf abuses has lately created such a sensation in Turf circles, it is earnestly to be hoped he may be induced to grapple with this growing evil, and preserve the public from a similar fate hereafter, by legislating with the Jockey Club for the abolition of p. p. betting. I am not an apologist for gambling in any shape, but, as an individual was lately warned off the Turf for using false dice at play, for the life of me I cannot discover the difference, in a moral point of view, between the use of " dispatches" and " milked horses," The racing public call loudly for protection, and as " the game" is nearly played out, it is to be hoped the authorities will step in to the rescue of the credit of our national pastime. On the present occasion the owners of one or two horses were, no doubt, frightened by Warlock's formidable pretensions; for Fisherman at the same weight would, I admit, induce maay to reserve themselves for a future occasion; still there were certain offenders for whom no excuse could be offered, although in the case of Mongrel the exhibition of the horse in the inclosure on the first day, added to the veterinary's certificate, afforded satis- factory proof of his being hors de combat. These remarks may appear prolix to some, but they are imperatively called for by the circumstances of the case. The result of the race was " a heavy blow and sore discomfiture" to all calculation, El Hakim being even a greater outsider than Tba Hero, when Alfred Day astonished the natives, himself, and his stable, by winning on the game little chesnut. According to late precedents John Scott was bound to find both the favourite and the winner. He certainly complied with the former part of the requisition, but iu the latter nature refused her aid, and Warbeck— about whose starting, by the bye, there was a great deal of unpardonabl6 mystery, which disgusted not only the public, but his trainer and all the gentlemen connected with the stable— ran just « here every unprejudiced person would have fancied. El Hakim> to his party, was as dangerous as a double- edged sword, which cut both ways. It may appear captious, but I have a strong im- pression that if she had not laid so very far out of her ground, and with a stronger boy up, Tasmania would have got through, as she is a mare requiring an immensity of riding; but this point will be set at rest on her Kext appearance at Doncaster and wishing our York friends a better " Ebor" next year, I turn with far greater pleasure to the Two Year Old Races, in which the ckief interest of the card was centered. Of the series, per- haps the Prince of Wales was the most exciting, as it involved the fate of Cock- a- doodle- doo, whose comb was cut before he had run half way; and the raanner in which Proud Preston Peg came through, under circumstances by no means recom- mendatory to her chance, clearly proved that John Osborne's surprise at her defeat at Liverpool was not to be wondered at. Amsterdam's success in the Biennial an hour afterwards was another feather in her cap, and somewhat of a " sweetener" to Mr Howard, not only for the disappointment the horse met with in his first race to- day, but for the loss of one or two other stakes for which his " crack" filly— Perfection— was engaged, and pre- vented from running, for owing toan accident she met with whilst at exercise on Wednesday morning. The Ebor St Leger gave the public a satisfactory peep at the Two Thousand and Great Yorkshire winners, and confirmed the fact of Bird in the Hand and Schiedam being the same animal. The Eglinton was deprived of much of its interest by the misfortune that hap- pened to Comquot, who, like her other three year old com- panion, engrossed the whole of the betting. The winner was again found by Tom Dawson for Admiral Harcourt, whose co- lours, like the " spots," are more fortunate on Knavesmire than elsewhere. Friday gave us a pretty clear insight into the strength of Lord Zetland's stable, as the Great Yorkshire was never considered so great a " certainty " since the establishment of the race. The invariable assertion of the stable that Vedette's speed was superior to Skirmisher's was certainly made manifest, though not without giving rise to a questio vexata as to the relative merits of the pair, that has caused no little discussion in racing circles, nine- tenths of the spectators maintaining that, but for Lord Zetland's declaration in favour of his own horse, Skir- misher could have won. The Gimcrack, the only other race in which the public may be said to have taken an interest, afforded one of the most splendid contests of the week, wherein Lord of Lorn gave evi- dence, I am apprehensive, that, like the rest of his family, he is not partial to a distance of ground \ and to one of Nat's masterly finishes Mr Saxon may attribute the triumph of the Princess Royal, whose staying blood, to be found at Rawcliffe, added to the success of The Dutchman stock during the meeting, must add to the stability of that establishment. And now from north to south I fancy will be a pleasant transition, as fresh characters and fresh faces await us. The Warwick Meeting, which takes place on Wednesday and Thursday next week— Mr Merry having wisely abandoned the third day, which he tried last year— must stand on its own recommendations, as the prestige of its furnishing any key to the unlocking of the St Leger mystery has long since been abolished. Generally speaking there has been no want of sport at Warwick, but circumstances into which I am unwilling to enter have within the last year or two depreciated the meeting in public estimation. I shall, however, be the first to recognise its return to its ancient popularity, for the sake of auld lang syne, as no provincial races have ever furnished contests of one tithe of the interest of Warwick. The present programme em- brace fourteen items, all of which are on paper seemingly pro- ductive of spori. The Racing Stakes and the Queen's Plate, being as yet in ! embryo, the Leamington Stakes assumes only its proper position ' I at the head of the list of Wednesday. To this stake there are twenty- three acceptances out of a handicap of nearly seventy nominations, which is rather a falling off. Taught by the ex- perience of last week, the public have not " jumped on" to any- thing fer this race, and, for the first time that I can recollect, there has been no market quotations for the Leamington Stakes in the week prior to its coming off. It would be absurd, there- fore, to attempt to indicate the starters, nor shall I attempt to analyse the cbances of the lot, for, after the easy style in which Eloquence won at Egham, her penalty for which makes her weight 5st 121b only, I cannot see any thihg on paper to beat her. Perhaps Commotion and Ackworth may be her most formidable opponents. The Castle Park Stakes has five nominations, and if unworthy th< s attention of Proud Preston Peg, Mainstay may " splice the mainbrace" for her owner. The Avon Stakes will fall to the lot of Mr Merry ; and in the Shorts Handicap Blue Rock and Woodmite strike me as most formidable, Thursday commences with the County Stakes, which has an entry that ought to produce a good field. The most dangerous trio to my mind are Claret, Commotion, and General Bosquet, as Riseber, I should think, will be reserved for the Cup. The Welter Cup is invariably a race of interest at this meet, jug, and has produced some heavy betting on many occasions. Alembic, from the assistance he will have in his rider, must be dangerous, although he would like the distance shorter, and may not be able to give the weight to Hamlet. The Warwick Cup has a subscription which fully sustains the popularity of the meeting. The entries are twenty- four in num- ber, and, although Fisherman is dangerous in every race in which he runs, on this occasion I am of opinion he will have to succumb to Riseber and Gemma di Yergy, and as the former is entitled to all the allowances, I shall expect to see the " gallant grey" recompense his popular owner for his Goodwood disap- pointment. The Nursery Handicap looks like a match between Mr Merry's and Mr Barber's stables. The Members' Plate has eighteen subscriptions, of which I must give the preference to Eardrop, Sunrise, and the Rose of Cashmere oolt. The Town P'. ate has been equally well p& tronised, and I think Lord Clifden or Mr Stevens will be the most probable recipient of it. A Selling Stakes will conclude the sport.— Yours, & c, OBSERVER.

Hibburd. Judge and Clerk of the Scales: Mr J. Clark. The position attained by the twin meetings of Egham and Reading not only affords flattering proof of what can be accom- plished by straightfordward management and popular steward, ship, but presents a striking contrast to tfee system adopted at certain other places of sport on the home and midland circuits where inefficiency and want of confidence have served to injure the reputation of many meetings that lay claim to far higher pre- tensions. The success of the present anniversary on Runnymede surpassed its predecessors in every point, the entries and fields being larger, the attendance much more numerous, and the receipts, especially, from the sales, greater than was ever known. This satisfactory state ef affairs has placed the com- mittee in such an independent position that they have already announced their intention of increasing the attractions of the programme next year by giving more money, and having additional races. Extra accommodation will then be required and provided in the weighing department, and whilst referring to the future we would suggest the removal of the Stewards' Stand to the opposite side of the course, alongside of that appropriated to the Ring, the difficulties of going to and returning from which for the purpose of making their invest- ments has always been a source of great inconvenience to the aristocratic occupants thereof. More glorious weather than that with which we have recently been favoured could not pos- sibly be desired either for the harvest or racing purposes, and the attendance in consequence was extremely large on both davs, thanks to the advantages offered by the " specials" from Waterloo, several of which were despatched in the course of the morning at fares sufficiently moderate to place an agree- able " out" within reach of all classes. Egham has long been a favourite resort of many of our leading Turf votaries, and nearly all of those left in town, callous to the attractions of yachting and the Moors, kept up the charter by " assisting" at the present reunion. The Ring, likewise, mustered in con- siderable force, and found sufficient employment for the metal- lies to sum up an unfavourable balance at the end of the meeting, owing to the success of so many favourites. Betting on future events, however, was at a stand still—" a burnt child dreads the fire! "— even on the " Sellinger," and in absence of the Cesare- witch and Cambridgeshire weights, which have very properly been delayed until after the Warwick " diversions," next week, the intervals'between the races were passed iti a far more agreeable manner than waddling amongst " dead- uns" in such " decom- posing" weather. The sport commenced each day at two o'clock, and on Tuesday was limited to five races, one of which produced a dead heat, as" last year. The opening event was the Betting Stand Plate, for which out of the thirty- one handicapped no fewer than eighteen went to the post, the largest field ever seen at Egham. Mabel and Yes& were the only two backed for any monev, but they had nothing to tio with the finish, which, confined to Beatrice and Impatience, resulted in favour of Sir W. Booth's mare, who, though not baeked outright, was taken iu most of the lots of five and six that the bookmakers gave against the field. The arrival of Sedbury, en route from York, had the effect no doubt of keeping several two year olds away for the Kins John States, and in the absence at the last moment of the Derby " crack" ( who was struck out at two o'clock) a quartette only sported silk. Bravissimo, though untried, carne with such a high reputation from Wooloot's stable that there was quite a rush to get on him when the betting opened, but the horse's lusty appearance, added to the fondness of Accurate's party, caused the latter to leave off with the call. Mr Wyndham, however, encountered a more formidable opponent from another quarter in the Bribery colt, who ran a dead heat with Bra- vissimo, upon whom, until the very last stride, Sam Rogers bid fair to repeat his last year's victory with Glen- masson. A division was subsequently agreed to, and Lord Ailesbury's colt walked over. The ease with which Little Treasure carried off the Railway Selling Stakes caused some spirited bidding for the winner at the hammer, which resulted in the realisation © f 105 guineas to the fund. Niue of the eleven acceptances were next telegraphed for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, speculation upon which was remarkably languid, ex- cept upon the favourite, who, quite recovered from the effects of her accident in the Goodwood Stakes, came out iu blooming condition, and defeated, in very easy style, a much better field than has been seen for this event for many years past. A " pot" on Slattern boiled over in the Runnymede Stakes, which afforded a splendid struggle between Nereus and Ruth, resulting in the victory of the latter by a head. This was little Bennett's first winning mount, and his per- formance gives great promise of future excellence. Wednes- day's proceedings commenced with the Egham Stakes, which Salonica won easy, and at the hammer increased the pro- fits from that source to 160 guineas. It looked a " good thing" on paper for the Barons' Handicap for the Bribery colt, but " Mr Mellish's purchase of the previous day turned out in reality a Little Treasure both to himself and the Sing, although from the winner being a good deal fancied the bookmakers did little good on the race. The meeting in the Queen's Plate— so celebrated for its turns- up— of Fisherman and Leamington ( upon whom George Whiiebouse, no longer a " feather," re- appeared in the pigskin) was looked forward to with considerable interest, owing to the divided opinions respecting the superiority of the quondam stable companions since Lea- mington beat Fisherman in the Goodwood Stakes. The latter to- day, however, turned the tables upon Leamington, and reversing the York tactics by making strong play throughout, never gave his oppsnents a chance. Leamington ran glow throughout, and we have since been informed that he met with an accident in the race which prevented his running for the Royal Plate at Hereford on Friday. Another favourite won the Magna Charta Stakes, but the layers of 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 on Grand Duchess had a near squeak for their money, the finish between her and the Terpsichore filly being so very close that the fiat was only a head in favour of Mr Greville's filly. The Town Plate, the last race, brought out almost as large a field as the Betting Stand Plate which inau- gurated the meeting, to which it proved a successful fir. ale. Sixteen started, including Mabel, who had been acci. dentally omitted from the card, and the Plate was carried off by Jessie, Fordham thereby riding a second winner iu the " hoops" to- day. The names of the stewards and officials are sufficient guarantee for the proper and satisfactory conduct of the meeting, and wishing the committee as successful a gathering next year— hoping, at the same time that they will carry out our suggestions— we conclude this portion of our report by directing attention to the details of the racing.

After a couple of failures Mabel jumped off with the lead, but was im- mediately fesffded by Beatrice and Impatience, who had the re- mainder of the race to themselves, the former, who had always the best of it, winning after a good struggle by a length. Yes& was beaten three lengths from the second, and close up with her almost in aline were Paula Monti, Barbarity, LadyAintres, Ceres, Bonnets o'Blue and Fashion.

The Bribery colt made play, with the others closely laid up to the distance, where Ocean Queen was beaten. Opposite the Stand, Accurate dropped off, and left the other two to fight it out, which they did iu earnest, a remarkably fine struggle resulting in a dead heat. Acurate was beaten two lengths, and Ocean Queen as far from him. The Bribery colt afterwards walked over, and Lord Ailesbury and Mr J. H. C. Wyndliam divided the stakes. Run in lmin 24sec.

There was no material change until turning into the straight, when Winkfield took a slight lead of Alice, and Elo- quence obtained a more forward position. Alice and Shirah fol- lowed Winkfield to the gap, and then gave way to Amelia, Elo quence, and Poodle, the latter of whom lay wide by himself on the far side. At the distance Alice and Shirah were beaten, and Amelia took a slight lead, but was deprived of it at the Stand by Eloquence, who won in a canter by a length, Winkfield finishing three lengths from Amelia. The others were separated by such wide intervals that the judge had no difficulty in placing the lot. Run in Stain 59sec.

Slattern made the run- ning to the distance, where she was passed by Nereus and Ruth, the latter of whom challenged Nereus opposite the Stand, and won a splendid race by a head, half a length between second and third. Unexpected was a bad fourth. Run in lmin 55sec.

At length it may well be Said that, in spinning out these races to three days, the " force of folly can no further go." Its directors must have long foreseen that a break down would sooner or later occur, for though within only twelve ( at race times say thirty) minutes ride of the " Exhibition city," a dozen counties might quite as well have divided the places, in point of affinity, with the sports on Castle irweli, the limit of which Radcliffe has thus far contrived to follow. Luckily dis- appointment now alighted chiefly upon the home division, who swarmed immensely, as out of nearly 10,000 excursionists to Manchester on Monday frora London, York, Sheffield, and Bir- mingham, not more than a dozen ring- goers found their way to the races. A medley of the respectable and queer patronised the enclosure; but " outside" a more uproarious, doubtful, and seedy- looking lot rarely have been huddled together. Except in one instance there was no mistake in " spotting" the win- ners, nor would the racing have afforded anything for special remark, but for an extraordinary fatal occurrence to Cinderella a nice- looking daughter of the Flying Dutchman out of Pelisse, from Fobert's stables, Whilst to all appearance winning, she cut it in the concluding part of the Two Year Old race, and as her trainer subsequently observed, the owner being also pre- sent, there can ba no doubt that her " understandings" had then given way. However, i& was not until after passing the chair that she actually broko down, when slipping on to her haunches, the rider threw himself off, and escapcd uninjured. The filly rose instantly, and hobbled some yards further, with the off- hind fetlock dangling after her, attached by a tendon only. Again she fell, this time fracturing tfee off fore- leg, and lay on her side until the knacker speedily terminated her misery. The ground was as " hard a3 bricks," and the heat each day most intense. After a rattling race, Bracken, who would not move at Nottingham, pulled off the Wilton Cup, and re- turned with interest the 50 sovs annually contributed towards it by his noble owner. How Pera carried a penalty in the Stand Plate, and on Tuesday ran without it for the Radcliffe Han- dicap, may perhaps interest score3, who, in blissful ignorance handed their crowns over the rails in confidence of the mare's suc- cess in the latter. Thecommittee ruled, that being a winner in the previous week at MeatonNorris, which was not denied on Monday, Pera had incurred 51b extra for the Stand Plate, the " stranger to the part" ( as he styled himself), in charge of the mare, merely protesting that the affair at Heaton was not recognised in the Ca- lendar. On Tuesday, however, at the scale, " the stranger," whose name did not transpire, alleged that Pera did not win as before stated, having, he said, been disqualified for bringing in nearly 31b short weight! The acting stewards indignantly scouted the prevaricating tales, leaving those who likewise had horses in the handicap to object as they thought proper, quite an unnecessary proceeding, seeing that the mare rati " nowhere." Two Selling Stakes did not fill; and as the Scramble failed to produce a contest, through the trio having horses entered for it disagreeing how to divide the 25 sovs added, the second day's diversion dwindled almost to a blank— a remark, to some extent, applicable to Wednesday's doings also. It was high time, there- fore, just prior to our departure to learn that the meeting hence- forth will be restricted to the two days, repeatedly urged in these columns; and, with the valuable assistance of Mr John Swindells, who from the first has advocated curtailment, we feel assured that success is more than half- way met in the alteration.

WESTON- SUPER- MARE RACES. TUESDAY, AUG 25.— These races came off on an excellent new course, part of the White Cross estate, situate about half a mile from the town, on the Uphill- road.

STOCKTON- ON- TEES RACES. Stewards: Earl Vane, Lord de Lisle, J. S. Sutton, Esq, and Major Cookson. Judge and Haudicapper: Mr Johnson. Clerk of the Course: Mr Thomas Craggs. Starter: Mr W. Elliott. Few meetings have made more rapid progress than Stockton since its re- establishment in 1855. The course is an excellent one, the turf good, and it is within a quarter of a mile of the town, on the Yorkshire side of the Tees. The only drawback is the wooden stand, but the committee are anxious to erect a more substantial building; and as the difficulty of obtaining a lease of the groundis said to be almost removed, this desideratum will no doubt be provided, when the Stockton meeting will become one of the best of its class in the north of England. The list embraced twelve items for the two days, to some of which there were good entries; the principal event on the first day, the Stockton Handicap, however, bringing out a small field of seven only. King of the Gipsies was weighed for, but the horse was reported to ba lame, and he did not start. El Hakim, carrying a 101b penalty, repeated his York victory, after a close race with Tiff, whom he just caught on the post. For the Cleveland Stake, the only other item worthy of notice, Terrific was a great pot, but getting a bad start it boiled over, and Garnish won cleverly. The prospects for next year are very flattering, there being already upwards of twenty subscribers to the Zetland Biennial, to which 50 sovs will oe added annually, and upwards of 30 sovs to the Handicap. The bonus to the Cleveland Stakes is to be increased from 50 to 100 sovs. Great praise is due to Mr William Richardson, the chairman of the race committee, for his exertions in the cause of the races, and we may state in conclusion that the committee liberally enter- tained the trainers at a first- rate dinner, on the evening of the first day, at the Blaek Lion Hotel, of which upwards of fifty partook, and spent the evening in a very pleasant manner. The meeting, which went off with great eclat, was both numerously and fashionably attended. THURSDAY, AUG 27.— The MANDALE TRIAL STAKE3 of 5 sovs each, with 20 added ; one mile; 4 subs.

HEREFORD RACES. Stewards : Earl of Chesterfield, Yiscount Clifden, Admiral Rous, and C. Bernard, Esq. Judge: Mr Clark. Clerk of the Course s Mr T. Marshall. Hon Sec: Mr E. Grimes. " Give us railway accommodation, and funds shall not be wanting," retorted the Hereford lieges when told four years ago that their races had come to a dead- lock. Affairs at that time were unmistakeably the reverse of blooming, and perhaps it was wise to drop the meeting for a season or two, or at least until the much- required boon was afforded. Its revival last year on a liberal scale was consequently only the precursor to increased attractions on this occasion, as set forth ia the noble bill of fare which for weeks past has engaged the attention of Turfites gene- rally. Nearly 900 sovs— public cash— were now granted to six races per diem. By raising the sward every inch of the running could be seen from the inclosure, in the rear of which the ola Stand, recently painted and decorated, more resembled a new building; but the most important improvement, as concerned safety, was the widening of the turn above the winning chair. Equal facilities were provided for the press, for which we thank the hou secretary, and especially Mr John Basley, whose exer- tions in every department merit the warmest commendation. With such munificence aud arrangements it will be readily con- ceded that the inhabitants could not more satisfactorily have done their part; but the crowding of fixtures into the August month, which invariably injures most and serves none, here also thrust aside the probability of commensurate success. Nor were matters rendered any the more encouraging when the Ipswich people, holding their meeting a month later than usual, threw it in direct opposition to Hereford, long previously fixed. Again, fears of hard ground kept many horses at home, though in this respect no drawback would have resulted had owners and trainers been aware that, owing to the peaty nature of the com- mon and its nice covering of grass, no better " going" could be desired. As regards company quite a different story, however, must be told ; it was by far the most numerous and fashionable we have yet met on Widemarsh, including many leading book- makers from the metropolis and the midland counties, the races on Thursday being deferred half- an- hour to enable the Lon- doners to get down by the morning express from Paddington, The harvest, too, being pretty nearly ended in this neighbour- hood, secured the presence of a goodly muster of yeomen, whose rubicund phistogs betokened the height of agricultural prosperity. Though a small field showed for the Here- fordshire Stakes, a more closely contested race has rarely been witnessed. The Licensed Yictuallers' Stakes supplied the only " turn up" for the fielders, owing to General Bosquet, who arrived from Radcliffe early in the morning, cutting it at the moment it looked any odds on him, the Delaine filly, scarcely backed for a " rap," thus pulling off a " cool hundred!" The Hunters' Stakes ended in a match for the forfeits, which it is hoped has administered the quietus to heat runuing on this course. The Royal Plate, an important item on Friday's list, which attracted some of the leading " cracks" of the day, was a prettily designed representation, in silver, of " Go © d Queen Bess" riding up at the death of the stag in Windsor Park, the burnished trappings of the steed, & e, imparting a rick liveliness to the frosted portions of the model. It, however, brought out but four competitors, Fisherman, after an exciting finish with Cotswold, winning by a neck. Wakefield at the scale preferred a charge that Wells had pulled his horse across Cotswold close at heme, and so prevented him getting up; but after an inves- tigation, failed to sustain the objection. Leamington, after taking his gallop on Friday morning, pulled up lame, and was scratched at eight o'clock. We hear that it is contemplated to hold the meeting earlier next year, and that most likely it will be fixed for the Thursday and Friday succeeding the Worcester <> 1 July events.

For many years this meeting dragged its slow length along, and was retained in the Calendar entirely through the patron- tg and liberality of a few noblemen and gentlemen resident in « < e vicinity; but even with such support it made no headway, ih consequence of the enormous impost levied by the Eastern Counties Railway Company for the conveyance of horses, & c, which, added to the monopoly of the Newmarket stables, caused the meeting gradually to fall back to its original form, in which state it would have remained but for the spirited endeavours of the noble steward Lord Stradbroke, who strongly advocated its continuance. Mr Merry, on his ap. pointment as Clerk of the Course, immediately revised the old- fashioned programme, and by the introduction of some new stakes infused fresh life into tfee affair, which proved so far flattering, that, encouraged by the success of his first venture, he this year increased his attractions considerably by giving the handsome sum of 525 sovs, in the shape of added money, whereby large entries were obtained, and some capital sport provided. Great care has been taken with the running ground, by improving the objectionable turns, and roping the whole ex- tent of the straight run in. The weather was excessively hot. and the attendance immense, but the Ring, owing to clashing with Hereford, was but scantily represented. The following are details of the racing: THURSDAY, AUG 27.— A HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for all ages; winners after the weights were declared 5lb extra; half a mile; 5 subs. Lord W.

The held for the Willinaton Stakes will be limited, and m the absence of Newton- le- Willows the contest will be between Agi- tation aad Walters town, and it would not surprise us to see the former get the better of Waiters town on the present occasion, though it was far t'other way in June— a bad time, however, for fillies. . . The principal of the five races set down for decision on Thurs- day is the Railway Stakes of the value of 650 sovs. Much the same remarks apply to this event as to the Augleseys, and the winner of the latter ( or it may be the second) is more likely to have it placed to his owner's credit than anything else. The four remaining events for Thursdav have yet to be named for. The first of the five items in Friday's list is the Waterford Stakes for two year olds. It has fifteen nominations, and of these Sweetcake, getting both allowances, and Tommy Moore are likely to prove the best. . The Coffee- room Stakes has six entries, and is likely to end in a match between St Patrick and the Alice May filly, and the latter, bad as she is, must floor the " roarer." The other eventsh ave yet to be named for. PROGRAMME OF THE CURRAGH SEP- TEMBER MEETING. Horses marked * are in training at the Curragh.

INTELLIGENCE EXTEA. NOTES FROM THE CURRAGH. THE SEPTEMBER MEETING, & C. The third meeting of the year at head- quarters will take place in the coming week, and from the number, variety, and value of the stakes to be run for, as may be seen set forth in extenso in another column, ought to insure excellent sport, respecting which we append our usual " Notes." For the opening day of the meeting ( Tuesday) we find five events on the list, three of which, the Scurry Stakes, the Stewards' Plate, and Scurry Corinthians have yet to be named for The Anglesey Stakes then first claims our attention, a Pro- duce Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added for two year olds. It had originally an entry of 44, since reduced to 41 by the de- mise of Messrs Ryan, Reynell, and Balffe.. For a great race it is the most open on record, consequently there is a certainty of some eighteen, at least, reaching the starting post. Two of Lord Waterford's, Miss Letty, Volatile, Frailty, Encore, Knight of Malta, Daisy King, Bundle, Clare, Brother to Ossofragh, Sweet Cake, Master of the Rolls, The Painter, Zaidee, filly out of Attraction, Alliance, Tommy Moore, the colt by Chanticleer out of Medea, and the filly by Annandale, dam by Birdcatcher. All, with the exceptienfof the two latter ( who are respectively located at Middleham and Holly well) are in strong work, but at our present writing few " have gone through the mill." We have consequently little else than public running to guide us in making a selection. The Knight of Malta was only half pre- pared in June, and would not have been pulled out at all, only m the hope of savingsome heavy bets his owner laid against Sam Spode winning the J* urserys. For that event he was easily de- feated, but in his next attempt he somewhat retrieved his lost laurels winning with having but little to spare from a very mode- rate lot, as vide Sweet Cake's wretched performance afterwards. That this was his true form we cannot believe, and must, there- fore, pin our faith in him, coupled with the best of Mr Quin's— Zaidee perhaps— Bundle, and Frailty, and if an outsider is at all to be looked for, it must be from the English side of the Channel. The field for the Kildare Handicap will not exceed half- a- dozen and of these Fireblast or Altro appear the most likely to furnsih the winner. Wednesday's racing also extends to five events, of which Her Majesty's Plate only remains to be named for. The Waterford Stakes of 160 sovs each, h ft, has eight nomi- nations, and is likely to be contested by six of the number, The Knight of Malta's most dangerous opponent being Terry Land. The Conyngham Stakes will also see some half- dozen to tke post, but we see nothing to interfere with Mr Dunne, who has " two strings to his bow," and can win with either Daisy King orLanah.

( STEEPLE CHASING IN FRANCE. DIEPPE STEEPLE CHASES. [ FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.") Dieppe steeple chases have for a length of time held a very forward position amongst the jumping meetings, and being so conveniently situated in regard to England, would have expected to have drawn more of the sporting fraternity to their annual rendezvous; but such is not the case, and we find only two or three " Bnglishers" attempting the apparently difficult task of beating the old French horse, Franc- Picard, on his own ground. This horse probably is one of the chief thinners of the field, as it is well known he makes but few mistakes, and unless his opponents can jump on and off banks in double quick time, little chance is there for the best of them. Added to this, it is somewhat too early for the English horses, whose sea- son does not commence until October, and who have, most of them, been " hard at it" up to the end of April. Still were the Dieppe chases well advertised in England up to the| day of running, and were some prospects held out for the chance of a few bets being obtainable, we think more competitors would put in appearance to do honour to the liberal management of the sports at Dieppe. The weather being fine, an immense assemblage graced the course, and were suffi- ciently well pleased with the two fields of five brought to the post for the two steeple chases. The races in themselves, how- ever, were of little interest, as only a wretched class of horses did battle for the money. The De la Motte stud has been con- stantly kept in practice during the last few weeks, running first and second for ail the chief races. The chief race to- day was but an exercise gallop for the stable companions, Mr Land's Theodine alone showing in any way respectably. The second race, as last year, fell to the lot of " Ben," by the aid of Pene- lope, who probably owes her success to the fall of Teddesley at the last fence but one. The first race not bringing the required number of horses to the post to command the 7,000f added, the prize was consequently reduced to 5, OOOf according to the condi- tions, but the management in the most handsome manner made the sum added amount to 6, OOOf (£ 240), by paying the second and third horses out of the race fund, instead of the winner's stake; this and other liberality speaks for itself, and we confi- dently anticipate increased success for the future. SUNDAY, AUG 23.— GRAND HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE of 6,000f. added to a Sweepstakes of 300,200 ft, and 100 only if de- clared ; the second to receive 450f, and the third 300 from the ra « e fund; 4,500 metres ( 2m 6fur and a distance); 17 subs.

Donaldson 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Franc Picard, 3 to 1 agst Casse Cou, 5 to 1 agst Theodine and Lady Arthur, 10 to 1 agst The Painter. Casse Cou started with the lead, Franc Picard, Lady Arthur, The Painter, and Theodine following in the order named. Lady Arthur blundering at the first hurdle,[ fell into the rear, and thus they cleared the water in front of the Stand. Opposite the Stand, on the far side, Lady Arthur ran through her horses and took up second position, waiting upon Casse Cou, who still made steady running to the brook the second time, Theodine third, Franc Picard fourth, and The Painter far in the rear. After getting all well over Casse Cou increased his lead considerably, and went over the succeeding fences several lengths ahead, but still at a very bad pace, wtil approaching the fence opposite the Stand, on tne far side, when Lady Arthur and Theodine ran into him, ana Franc began to creep up to the front also. At the last fesce but one, the drop, Lady Arthur blundered when look- all over a winner, aud had no more to more to do with the race. Franc Picard then " put on thelsteam," and Theodine giv- ing way at the last fence, Franc Picard and CasseCou cantered in together, an interval of two or three lengths separating them • lheodine was a very moderate third, The Painter and Lady Arthur coming m the order named. ^ EKPLE CHASE of 2,400f, added to a Sweepstakes of 150f, h ft; the second to receive 400f out of the entries ; com- mon weight 1361b ; the winner to be claimed for 10,000", with allowances if for less; 3,000 metres ( lm 7fur); 11 subs.

They all came in a body, with the exception of Teddesley, to the water, and after getting well over Penelope went to the front, Grisette second, and Railway and Kibworth Lass close up. Penelope made a mistake at the dry ditch and was passed by all the others, but making up her lost ground immediately, she ran past her horses, aud the pace became first- rate. Teddesley in the mean- time got to the front, but fell at the drop fence, and Grisette gave up immediately after, when Penelope came clear away, and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths ; a good race for second was won by Railway by a neck from Kibworth Lass; the others walked in.

BEGBRIN ( OPEN) MEETING.— It will be seen from our adver- tising columns that this meeting is fixed for the 8th October.

The Devon and Somerset Staghounds will meet on Monday at Culbone, and on Friday at Two Gate ( Brandon Common), at half- past ten. EXPLOSION OP THE BOILER OF A THRASHING MACHINE.— Loss OF THREE LIVES.— It appears that one of the steam machines of the Messrs Eddington, ef Springfield, Colchester, was on Monday employed to thrash the corn just harvested in a field belonging to Mr George Wood, between Prittlewell and Rochford, but occupied by Mr George Hart. After the men engaged in the work had returned from their breakfasts the machine was set in motion, and while they were busily employed all around it, the boiler of the engine burst with a terrific ex- plosion, spreading death and destruction around, the heavy ironwork being shattered to fragments, and two pieces, weigh- ing five cwt, of the huge wheels being carried through a hedge to the distance of a hundred yards. When the smoke and steam cleared away, a horrible scene presented itself. Three of the men employed had been killed upon the spot, their bodies being fearfully mangled by the explosion. A fourth had been blown a considerable distance, and when taken up it was found that his back was broken, and he was otherwise so dreadfully injured as to leave not the slightest probability of his recovery. Of course the thrashing machine itself suffered; and to add to the fearful nature of the scene, the cornstack which was in process of thrashing caught fire, and was wholly consumed. Of the cause of the explosion no conjecture can at present be formed. FATAL SEWBR ACCIDENT.— THREE LIVES LOST.— A shocking accident took place on Tuesday morning, about nine o'clock, in the Whitechapel- road, facing the entrance of the late Pavilion Theatre. For some weeks past a large number of labourers have been engaged in connecting an old sewer which raH in front of the house on the north side of the road with the main sewer in the centre of the road. This was done by running twelve- inch pipes from one sewer to the other. One had been partly driven in the course of Monday from a street drain well, and a man named John Fitzpatrick was completing it at a depth of some eighteen feet from the surface of the road. An outlet had been obtained into the main sewer, and all the piping had been laid, with the exception of the piece which was to connect it with the old sewer. It appears that as each pipe is set it is necessary to place a board over the bore, so that the dirt should not get into it as the labourers fill in the working. Fitzpatrick was in the act of removing the board, so as to fit in the last portion of pipe, when a rush of foul air from the main sewer came in full power upon him, and the unfortunate man fell forward. An- other labourer, named G. Franks, who had considerable expe- rience in the construction of sewers, apparently unconscious of what had really happened to his fellow- workman, descended the excavation, and on reaching the bottom immediately fell sense- less to the ground. The cries of some boys brought other labourers to the scene, and three more unfortunate fellows, Wil- liam Bingham, William Goodge, and an Irishman named Hives, hastened down to the bottom of the sewer, and were quickly overcome by the poisonous air, and the five poor creatures were to be seen lying on the top of each other. In a minute or so the foreman of the works arrived, and the workmen were warned not to go down. Hooks were then procured, and the unhappy fel- lows were brought up to the surface. Fitzpatrick, Franks, and Bingham were found to be quite dead. Goodge and Hives were insensible. They were removed to the London Hospital, where after some exertion they were brought to, although they con- tinue in a very critical state. Further openings were then made into the foul pipe, and everything done to clear it, but the work will not be resumed until fully examined by the sewers engineer. Two of the sufferers were married, and have left families. Their bodies presented a very discoloured appearance from the effects of the poisonous air. ANOTHER BOILER ACCIDENT.— A dreadful accident, involving loss of life, took place on Monday evening at the works of Messrs Robert Laidlaw and Sons, iroufouuders and engineers, in East Milton- street, Port Dundas, Glasgow. Shortly before five o'clock a large steam boiler on the premises burst with terrific violence at both ends. The walls of the engine- house were blown down, and three men employed in the works so seriously injured that one of them— the engineman— died some hours afterwards, and the other two, labourers, are still in a precarious state. Adjoin- ing the works, and immediately behind the engine- house, is a two- story tenement. On the ground floor of this building, close to the works, resided a family, consisting of the husband and wife, with two children, boys, whose respective ages were four years and eighteen months. On the explosion taking place, the boiler was lifted from its position and driven with such force against the wall of the dwelling- house that a great part of it was demolished, and Mrs Scott, who, with her two children, were in apartments in the house, was literally blown through a par- tition and into the adjoining house. The two children suffered such injuries that they died in about two hours. The whole of the injured parties, with the exception of Mrs Scott, who was killed on the spot, were removed to the Royal Infirmary. HORRIBLE MURDER IN TIPPERART.— One of those foul and atrocious murders, which in former years used to be of frequent occurrence in the county Tipperary, was committed on Thurs- day week at a place called Gurtnahoe, about eight miles from Thurles, and close to Longford Pass. It appears that two families of the name of Stapleton ( cousins) lived adjacent to each other, but some disputes having arisen between them in reference to land, they were not on good terms. Richard Staple- ton, on the day in question, went with a cart and a scythe to cut some coarse grass at a place which adjoined the farm of Michael and John Stapleton, and while thus engaged the other two men were seen moving towards the place with pitchforks in their hands. The father of the deceased met them, and, being alarmed at some indications, begged of them not to think of doing any harm. The reply to this was several stabs made at their uncle in the face, and the men pursued Richard Stapleton, who made for a fort at some distance, but he was overtaken, stabbed in the back, and fell. While trying to gain his foot- ing one of his cousins raised the scythe which had dropped on the ground and made a desperate blow, which cut off the arm with which the wretched victim sought to avert the cut designed for his head. Not satisfied with inflicting other serious and deadly wounds on Richard Stapleton, the assailants then turned on his sister, and with the scythe cut the flesh off her arm from the shoulder to below the wrist. The most singular matter connected with the whole proceeding is, that one of the two men engaged in this awful transaction proceeded to a neighbour- ing magistrate to lodge an information that he and his brother were the parties attacked, one brother lying in bed as if unable to stir from the injuries he received. The deceased lived long enough to explain what were the facts, but in the interval Michael and John Stapleton had effected their escape. A coro ner's inquest was held before T„ P. Meagher, Esq, and the ponce are in active pursuit. LADIES ON THE MOORS.— Mrs Baird, of Cambusdoon, and party bagged, on the 15th and 17th inst, 164 brace on Ury Moors; and on the 20th and 21st inst, 33 brace on Auchmeddin. The birds were generally strong on the wing, and very wild. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— Among the latest addi- tions to this well- known establishment has been a portrait model of Miss Madeleine Smith. This young lady is represented in a handsome morning costume, and is considered an excellent likeness. The model exhibits great taste in execution and ap- pearance. It will no doubt long form au object of curiosity and interest to the visitors, 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 30, 1857. AQUATIC REGISTER HIGH WATER SUNBA?, AUG 30,... MONDAY TUBSDAY, SEPT 1 ...

The course was from off the seat of the Earl of Hardwicke, situate near the site of the Netley Hos- pital, su the margin of the Southampton Water, thence round the Leap Buoy to the eastward round the Nab, thence returning round the Leap Buoy to the place they started from. A fine breeze from the eastward prevailed, and at half- past nine a. m. the yachts slipped from their respective moorings, and appeared to keep together for some distance on equal terms. They rounded the Leap Buoy well together from hence the Susau had the advantage, and eventually became the winner, we are in- formed, by four minutes, bat there was a lapse of fifteen minutes on passing through Cowes Roads.

Scholefield, Esq; Hesperus, N. Montefiore, Esq; Shadow, Sir Gilbert East, Bart; Whirlwind, Frederick Thynne, Esq ; Magic, S. R Block, Esq: At the general meeting of the members of the club, held at Ryde, on Saturday, the 15th of August, the chairman, after having stated the results of the late regatta and the awards of the prizes, said it was his painful duty to allude to the unfor- tunate accident that had occurred on the club battery the first day of the regatta ( in saluting the Emperor of the French on his departure from Osborne), by which Jacob Harbour, who was assisting the signalman, had his arm so much injured by the ex- plosion of a gun in the act of re- loading it as to render amputa- tion necessary above the elbow. The committee had permitted a subscription list to be opened in the club for his relief, and had directed the sum of £ 25 from the club funds to be added to any subscription that may be raised ; and he hoped members would kindly contribute thereto. It was proposed by Sir James Caldwell, G. C. B., seconded by Sir John Burgoyne, Bart, and carried unanimously, that the committee be requested to inquire into the cause of this serious accident and report at the next general meeting, and that in the meantime no salutes should be fired from the club battery requiring a re- loading of the guns. Thanks were then accorded to tne chairman, and the meeting dissolved. ROYAL SOUTHERN YACHT CLUB.

Three of the prizes never filled at all; and for those that were contested a lesser number of boats ran than was at first determined upon. THE YACHT RACE.— The Burnham and Bristol Channel Cup of 40 guineas value, for yachts not exceeding 50 tons ; the dis- tance was represented as being about 60 miles. Two yachts only essaved for the Cup— the Cyclone ( Patterson of Bristol) aud the Blue Bell ( Pedley). These started at 10: 45 a. m. The Cyclone returned to the winning point at 7; 19 p. m., aud the Blue Bell at 7: 44. . , PILOT BOATS— Three boats started. The Emma ( Hunt) of Bristol won the first prize of £ 10, the second of £ 6 was won by the Miranda ( Ray) of Newport, and the third of £ 4 was won by the Victory ( Newport). There were two miuutes difference be- tween the first and second boats, and five between the second and third. BUENHAJI AND RIVER PEKRET FISHING BOATS.— Five started. The first prize of £ 5 was won by the Lark ( Wilkins), second, £ 3, by Market Maid ( Raison), and the third of £ 2 by the Wave ( Storey). This was a well- contested race, a few se- conds only occurring between the coming in of the winning boats. FOUR- OARED SHIP'S BOATS.— The North Star ( Richards') won the first prize of £ 2, and the Black Bess ( Woods) won the se- cond of £ 1. Two boats ouly started. The proceedings of the day terminated with a pyrotechnical display, under the direction of Professor Burs, upon whose name it would be a burning shame to suggest a pun. The fire- works might have lightened the blame which was asserted to attach itself to the committee for not causing some diversions for the visitors during the interregnum of the tides, and if that were the case the termination of the regatta was more satisfac- tory than would otherwise have been the result. The regatta dinner took olace at the Clarence Hotel, and was rather nume- rously attended. ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB REGATTA. Committee: Col Crofton, Capt Templer, Capt Stewart, Capt Inverarity, S. Triscott, J. C. Thierens, and R. M. Dunn, Esq. The frequent participation in pleasure is, after all, an ex- haustive process. Plymouth and its neighbourhood have this year had their full share. What with the spring and summer races, the regattas, excursions up the Tamar, to the Dart and other highly attractive spots which abound on the coast, with fetes at Mount Edgcumbe, military inspections and parades, the inhabitants, one would suppose, must have been almost sur- feited with holiday keeping. Still, from the appearance of the Hoe and other points commanding a view of the Sound, no doubt could possibly exist as to the fact that by some means or other there are thousands of people who will not let a single opportunity pass which offers t^ e slightest chance of enjoyment. Afloat, too, there was great animation and excitement. The number of yachts in the harbour exceeded that of any previous occasion, the surface of the water within and outside the Break- water being studded with craft of every conceivable rig and ton- nage. The morning broke inauspiciously, and much anxiety was felt as to the success of the regatta, for scarcely a breath of air disturbed a dense and most oppressive atmosphere. About ten o'clock the wind freshened a little from W. S. W., but still it was far from what yachtsmen wish for. By mid- day there was quite a breeze from the S. E., and everything appeared to go merry as the marriage bell." Things continued in this satisfactory state till four o'clock, when the wind died away again, and an occasional puff was all that was left to finish sports not then more than half concluded. Before recording the sports we may remark that, at a meeting of the club on Tuesday, it was resolved to establish a special regatta fund, so as to increase th6 prizes, and also with the object of giving more certainty to the annual regattas. The committee were permitted the use of the harbour- master's yacht as a starting boat. The Vice- Commodore not being in the port, his pendant was hoisted on board the Medina, T. W. Fox, Esq, American Consul, who very kindly consented to carry it for him during the regatta. The CLUB PRIZE' of £ 80, or a piece of plate of that value, at the option of the winner, open to all yachts of any rig, belong- ing to members of the Royal Yacht Club, and holding the Admiralty warrant; also to foreign yachts belonging to a royal or national club, of 25 tons and upwards; time race; four to enter and start, or no race.

The day was not altogeth er free from wet, but there was a fine breeze from the west. John Hoaldsworth, Esq, of Cranston Hill, acted as commodore, in consequence of the absence of the Earl of Eglinton, and Captain Kean acted as secretary. The Commodore hoisted his flag on board the club yacht Orion, which was gaily decked with buxting. The fine band of the Queen's Own enlivened the scene. The FIRST RACE was for yachts of the Royal Club.?, and was competed for by the following craft, the prize being a piece of Plate, value 60 guineas. The vessels started iii the following order :— NAME. TONS. OWNER. H. M. S. STELLA 41 C. S. Cooper, Esq .... 1 4 5 CRUSADER 30 J. Spiers, Esq 1 3 10 COKALIE 85 E. Byrne, Esq 1 5 52 The course lay round the beacon at Toward Point, taea round the Mavis Buoy, off Inverkip, then to the Shoals Buoy, off Rossneatli Point, then to pass the Commodore's yacht and the flag- boat buoyed off Dunoon, then round the Mavis Buoy and home. In the first round the yachts passed the flag- boat as follows :— n. M. s. I H. M. s. I H. M. s. CRUSADER .. 5 6 25 | STELLA 5 12 30 | CORALIE 5 14 12 In the following rounds the Crusader continued to increase her distance ahead, and they arrived at the goal in the above order. The SECOND RACE, by yachts not exceeding 35 tons, for a piece of plate, value £ 30, was competed for by the following yachts, which started as follows ;— NAME. ' TONS. OWNER. H. M, S. NORTH STAR 26.... Geo. Harrison, Esq.... 1 31 7 ZINGARA 15.... Jas. Scott, Esq 1 SI 34 KELPIE 22.... Robinson, Esq 1 31 28 The course was the same as in the previous race, with the ex- ception that the yachts were not required to go round the Mavis Buoy a second time. Shortly after starting the Zingara carried away her throat halyards, and gave up the contest, which accordingly lay between the North Star and Kelpie , they arrived at the flag- boat as under :— H. M. s. I H. M. s. NORTH STAR 5 58 40 | KELPIE 6 2 58 The North Star was thus the winner, beating her opponent by 4min 18sec. The next race was open to pleasure boats not exceeding 8 tons. The yachts started thus :— Comet ( 5 tons), Steven, Esq, 2: 1: 3 ; Frances ( 4), Capt Taylor, 2: 8: 8 ; Leda ( 7), A. Finlay, Esq, 2: 2: 43 ; Maria ( 5), Lisle, Esq, 2: 3: 21; Fairy Queen ( 8), Grant, Esq, 2; 2 ; Armada ( 74), Dickie, Esq, 2: 3: 6; Meander ( 7), Lieut Boys, 2: 13: 50. The course was the same as in the previous race. The Frances carried away her bowsprit when oft Inellan, and gave up the contest. When the reporter left this race was not finished, but the leading boats were beating up to the Commo- dore from the Shoals buoy, and the Fairy Queen was a consi- derable distance in advance of the others. The fourth race was contested for by boats with lugsails, and was won by the Ailsa, which beat the other two boats by a full quarter of a mile. Several rowing matches also took place:— The FIEST was for a prize of £ 5, open to four- oared gigs not ex- ceedi - g 27 feet i>) length; second prize, £ 2. STAR OF LENNOX, Dumbarton—( Paxton) l ZINGARA, Cartsdyke—( Moodie) 2 In coming in the Zingara was first, but Hnfortunately she took the wrong side of the Commodore, and so, according to the re- gulations, she lost the race. The FOUR- OARED SECOND RACE was for boats not exceeding 24 feet in length; breadth of beam, 4ft 2in ; first prize, £ 4; second, £ 2. STAR OP LENNOX, Dumbarton—( Paxton) 1 ZINGAEA, Cartsdyke—( Moodie) 2 ATTEMPT, Dunoon—( Paton) 3 The THIRD RACE was open to four- oared boats not exoeeding 20 feet in length ; breadth of beam not under 4 feet; first prize, £ 3; second, £ 1.

ED, AND BLUE—( Weir) 11 MIDGE 2 BURNHAM KEGATTA, If the assembling of a large concourse of persons be any cri- terion, it is almost impossible to conceive a more triumphant success than that which attended the Burnham inaugural re- gatta on Monday last. This aquatic festival was under the dis- tinguished patronage of the Right Hon Lord Portman, the lord- lieutenant of the county of Somerset, and no doubt a consider- able prestige was thereby given to it, many of the distingue being present. Burnt, am can scarcely be called a town, yet it is certainly more than a village, and in a few years it may perhaps be able to reckon itself as not being among'st the most isolated places in the kingdom. It is situate about two miles from the Highbridge station of the Bristol aud Exeter Railway, and it never was so animated as on Monday: fir- trees were planted along most of the streets; triumphal arches, with appropriate mottoes, spanned the principal approaches; processions were formed, and the bauds of music imparted a refreshing tone to the proceedings. The excursion trains from Bristol, Glaston- bury, Yeovil, Taunton, & c, were found an acceptable means of transit, and some hundreds availed themselves of the oppor- tunity. From Cardiff, Newport, and Bristol a tolerable sprink- ling of persons came by steamers to witness the diversions. The committee confined their operations to aquatics and fire- works; beyond this the visitors had to create their own amusements, according to the bent of their inclinations. Certainly here and there might have been found a somewhat antiquated soul, holding his enthusiasm in check, doubtless thinking thereby that to allow it to be drawn into anvthing bordering upon the tumultuous would be to sacrifice the wisdom over which he had for years brooded with much satisfaction to himself; but generally everybody's best nature was put into pleasurable activity. The arrangements of the committee of management of a regatta, however extensive and complete, are but as nothing if the weather does not prove fine, but it was in every respect all that could be desired. It is averred that nau- tical men are a wee bit superstitious— they whistle for a wind, and fancy that by such a process they get it; but whether the stifflsh breeze that blew at Burnham on Monday was the result of the combined efforts of the seamen there, no one at ail regard- ful of his reputation would like to assert with anything approaching - a cogent certainty. The prizes offered were far from insignificant, but the committee were unfortunate in not attracting so numerous a quantity of boats as they considered . Jas. Thomson, Esq. . S. Lane, Esq. F. Marshall, Esq. . C. G. Banks, Esq. In consequence of a regulation by the committee that schooners should allow half minute time, and only receive a quarter of a minute, the owners of the Wildfire and La Rove declined ' to start, complaining that such an arrangement was in violation of the rules usually recognised by other clubs. The answer of the committee to this complaint was, that since the arrival of the America in this country the schooners had increased their power and required to be brought down a peg; and they instanced the case of the Wildfire herself, who had beaten the Mosquito, and won six or seven cups. The ewner [ of the Maraquita did not assign any reason for not runniug. The start took place at 10: 31 with a very gentle breeze from the S. W. In a very short time Lulworth took the lead, and increased it rapidly. At about half- past eleven she was seen coming in on the western course, which made it evident that there was some mistake. At 11: 50 she passed the committee boat, and reported that the western mark boat was not in her place, and that the mark only brought up as the last boat in the class reached her. Under these cir- cumstances Mr Weld, owner of Lulworth, made a formal pro- test against the race, and the committee, after some deliberation, resolved that " The western mark boat not having been in its place, the first class must sail again; that the owners of the yachts be invited to sail again to- day once round and half time, or to- morrow twice round at the usual time." The owner of Glance evinced marked displeasure at this decision, insisting that the race ought to proceed, and even talked about " trying the question." The committee were unanimous in their decision; which gave general satisfaction. When Glance made the first round past the committee boat it was disr covered that she had not complied with Rule 17, which requires that either the owner or a member of a royal yacht club stiould be 011 board. This put her completely out of the race and re- lieved the committee from further anxiety, so far as regards the mistake about the mark boat. The owners of Phantom and Thought immediately accepted the resolution of the committee. The last round being no race, the non- compliance with Rule 17 did not affect Glance, and Mr Banks going 011 board, she started with the other, the course being once round and half time. The second start took place at 2: 35, the wind blowing fresh from the south. Soon alter they got away the wind dropped, and gradu- ally subsided to an almost perfect calm. Somehow or other, however, the yachts crept round the western and eastern mark boats, and about six o'clock the Glance, Thought, aud Lulworth were seen off the Breakwater. From this point the yachts drifted up on the tide, and as they neared the cobbler buoy, just before making the committee's boat, it was feared that for want of wind they might drift up the cutwater. After they got round the cobbler, a slight puff off shore assisted them a little, and the Glance came in at 8: 3: 30, the Thought 8: 7: 15. The Glance had to allow the Thought about li minute, and the ex- citement as they neared home was very great. As, however, she came in nearly four minutes ahead, she was, without hesitations declared the winner. MEMBERS' CUP, value £ 60, orsovs, at the option of the winner, for yachts of all rig and tonnage, belonging to members of the R. W. Y. C., and holding the Admiralty warrant; time race. The following entered :— YACHT. TONS. RIG. OWNER. ANNIE 20 Bermudian S. Truscott. FAWN 28 Cutter H. FiUis. ETHEL 15 Cutter H. Bayly. VISION 45 Cutter W. Rashleigh. The start took place at 11: 23, the Fawn leading, followed by Vision, Ethel being the last to get away. In a short time Annie passed the Vision, the Ethel creeping up. Off the Break- water the Ethel took up the second position. After rounding the eastern mark boat, the Vision gained upon the Ethel and passed her, maintaining her position in the first round, which was accomplished as follows:— NAUTICAL FETE AT TEIGNMOUTH. [ FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] On Monday last a nautical fete to » k place at this pretty and fashionable watering- place. A large number of persons had assembled on the occasion from the surrounding towns aud villages. Its object was to benefit the funds of that excellent institution, the Royal National Life- boat Society, which has at Teignmouth, and at fifty or sixty other places on the coast, a life- boat fully equipped, so as to be ready at any time to render assistance to the distressed shipwrecked sailor. And if there be one subject more than another that justly claims to command attention, and enlist the sympathy of a maritime country like England, it surely must be the security of those" whose business is in great waters." Yet how imperfectly informed, how supinely indifferent is the great mass of the population, either as to the cause, or the extent of means within their reach, at little cost, for the prevention or mitigation of the appalling catastrophes that annually absorb nearly six hundred valuable lives around our coasts, leaving a propr> rtionate number of widows and orphans unprovided for. The operations of the fete com- menced by a steamer towing into the offing a small smack, which was kindly lent for the occasion by Mr Samuel Hutchings. On given signals from the smack, such as her gear adrift, ensign reversed, and minute guns firing, the life- boat manned by crew was launched, and proceeded to the relief of the distressed vessel. She immediately took them 011 board, and brought them ashore. Considering the size of the life- boat, which must neces- sarily be large and heavy to enable it effectually to contend with a heavy surf and wind, she was rapidly lauuched, for it could hardly have exceeded 20 minutes from the time she was brought from the boat to that when she was afloat. Afterwards a eotnmunication was effected on the first attempt with the minsic wreck by means of the Manby apparatus. A Coast Guard man was hauled from the mast- head ashore on the usual " breeches" sling. But, from the careless manner in which he attached himself to the sliug, omitting to put his legs in the " breeches," the operation nearly cost him his life j as it was he came off with a good ducking. The im- portance of teachisig sailors and others how to make a right use of these important line- communications with stranded vessels cannot be overrated, Nearly every winter fearful consequences of their ignorance of attaching the line is brought utider our notice. At one time a sailor, as soon as the line has been thrown over his ship, will tie it ronnd his body and plunge into the boil- ing surf, where he instantly perishes, and his comrades doomed, from his ignorance, to share the same unhappy fate. At another time a whole ship's crew of four or five men will tie them- selves to the frail line, and are dragged ashore in a life- less state. Let us, therefore, express an earnest hope that efforts will be made to teach our mariners the proper use of the communicating line. In the journal of the National Life- boat Institution for the current year, there is an excellent article on this important subject. Its price is only 2d, and it should be in the hands of every sailor, ana every yachtsman would b8 doing good service by circulating a few espies of this periodical amongst his crew every quarter. The anchor of Captain Jerning- ham, R. N., was nextfired froma mortar. This skilful mechanical contrivance, which possesses great holding power, is intended to haul off life- boats aud other boats through a heavy surf. Some years ago the writer of this saw the anchor fired from a mortar by Capt Jerningham, from the dockyard, Woolwich. It was thrown nearly across the Thames, and its great holding powur was manifested by the fact that it required about thirty men to haul it home. Unfortunately, however, the fireman 011 Monday did not understand the peculiar but simple mode of firing it— the anchor was thrown by him only a short distance. Better suc- cess, however, attended the firing of Mr Offord's expanding fluke grapnell. Nothing could exceed the precision of the operation. It was thrown about 200 yards into the sea, and its holding power was tested by the life- boat being subsequently hauled off by it. From various causes no success attended the trial on this occasion of Francis's American life- saving car. The Coast Guard men on board the vessel did notunderstand itsadmirablequalities. The Rev E. L. Berthon, of Fareham, exhibited his remarkable invention, the collapsible ship's life- boat, in perfecting which he has expended upwards of £ 5,000, aud devoted much valuable time. The rev gentleman illustrated the principle of his inven- tion by a model stationed on the promenade. The peculiar fea- ture of this invention is, that half- a- dozen collapsible boats can be easily stowed away in the space now occupied by one ordinary ship's boat. Thus ample boat accommodation can be easily pro- vided for troop and passenger skips.— Mr Mansfield's rough raft, consisting of a few spars fastened to some empty casks, was fully tested on the occasion, and clearly showed the utility of such contrivances in the hour of danger.— After this last experi- ment the smack in the offing was discovered to become a real wreck ; she began to fill rapidly and to heel on one side. This circumstance, combined with the fact that both the regatta and the nautical fete took place at low water, which rendered the operations of the former almost void of interest, and the general dispersion of the spectators to their homes, brought the pro- ceedings to a close before Perrett's tubular raft, Dr Sibbald's ship communicator, and several other contrivances for saving life, were experimented on. minute. They came home in the following order and time :— Jack 4: 53: 40, Mystery 4: 53: 18 Lily of the Valley 4: 57: 30, Star 4: 59: 30, Lyon 5: 3: 30. Star protested against Lily of the Valley on account of a foul, and the committee, after hearing evidence, de- cided in favour of the protest, thus giving the third prize to the Star. A PURSE OP £ 10, for pleasure yachts not exceeding 15 tons; 1st prize £ 6, 2d £ 2 10s, 3d £ 1 10s; four entered; Fire Fly ( 11), Capt Adams, Exmouth; Fairy ( 9), Mr Bricknell, Exmouth; Etliel ( 11), Mr Stiggins, Shaldon; Curlew ( 11), Major Brown, Exmouth. Started at 2: 31: 10. This was a very close race between Fairy and Fire Fly; the first round the boats cam ® in as follows :— Fairy3: 42: 3, Fire Fly 3: 42: 45, Ethel 3: 45: 35, Curlew 8: 48 ; the second round Fairy slightly increased her ad- vantage, coming iu 4: 46: 30, followed by the Fire Fly 4: 48: 45, Curlew 4: 57: 5, Ethel 4: 58: 10. A couple of rowing matches for boats belonging to the Heborn and a punt chase concluded a very pleasing, and, we may add, most successful day's sport. H. IT. s. | . M. S. H. M.

WOOLWICH AKNUAL REGATTA.— This regatta took place 011 Monday last, in the presence of those immense throngs usually attracted by these river- side contests. The prizes consisted of a new skiff ( always a valuable object of competition among water- men), besides money prizes. The following are the names of the watermen who contended, with the results of the heats :— First heat: Edward Miller 1, Thos. Crow 2, Benjamin Surtees 6. The distance in all the heats was along the front of the town, three times round, Won by three lengths.— Second heat: Edward Philips 1, Robert Carrier 2, George King 0. Won easily.— Third heat: R. Carrier 1, T. Crow 2, G.. King 3, B. Sur- tees 4. Won bv several lengths.— Fourth heat: Philips 1, Crow 2, Miller 3, Carrier 4. This was a good race, and was won by two lengths. Carrier met with an accident.— Final heat: Phi- lips 1, Crow 2. The latter took the lead, and kept it for the first round, but, getting foul of some craft, he was passed, and ! hilips won at his ease. TEIGNMOUTH REGATTA. Those who are interested in the welfare of this charming watering- place would do well to ponder seriously over the causes which have led to the gradual declension of its once famed aquatic sports. Whatever the cause, the effect will, sooner or later, be felt in the town, which, whatever may be its present prosperity, cannot afford to risk the consequences of that competition which now- a- days is to be found to such an extent as to awaken even the most lethargic from their state of torpor. Visitors at the sea side want something occasionally to relieve the monotony of their existence, and if necessary excite- meiatis not to be found at one place, they will seek itinanother. Teignmouth hitherto has enjoyed a good character, but it must maintain it, and not presume upon public forbearance. Failures such as that which we have this day to record must be of a damaging character, and as they can easily be avoided, it would be well that they were so. A capital opportunity this year pre- sented itself for having a first- class regatta. The subscription list was headed by the munificent donation of £ 50 from H. A. Hoare, Esq, but this, instead of inciting the liberality of the townspeople, appears to have acted as a check, for the total sum subscribed was much below former sub- scriptions, which had not the advantage of so capital a start. Still sufficient was collected to admit of a 30 guineas, 20 guineas, and other prizes ranging from £ 10 to 50s. Unfortu- nately, however, the two first did not fill, the only entry for the 30 guineas being Phantom ( S. Lane, Esq), and none for the 20 guineas for schooner yachts. This was accounted for by same by the fact of the Royal Western Yatch Club Regatta being fixed for Wednesday, which gave rise to fears on the part of owners that if they sailed at Teignmouth, and the wind died away, they would not be able to fetch Plymouth in time. This probably was the cause, and if so it suggests to the Teignmouth people the desirability of looking carefully to the fixtures before they name their day. Other reasons were assigned as contributing to the unsatisfactory result of the day's sports; but we abstain from discussion, in the hope that the bint already given may have due effect, and that on future occasions an active working committee may devise some plan for restoring to Teignmouth Regatta a portion at least of its former glory and renown. The active secretary, Mr J. Bradbeer, and his energetic colleague, Mr Beater, did all that men could do to insure success, but in- dividuals do not feel justified in taking upon themselves the re- sponsibilities which should attach alone to a full committee. With these remarks we proceed to a detail of the sport, which was exceeding meagre. The two leading prizes not having attracted competitors, and some difficulty arising with regard to the £ 10 prize for plea- sure boats not exceeding 15 tons, the committee withdrew that also, but to make as much sport as the circumstances would admit, gave £ 15 to be run for by the Ethel, 15 tons ( Capt Bayly), and the Midge, 13 tons ( Capt Commerell). The course was about 30 miles, and the start took place at 2: 30, a stiff breeze blowing from the N. E. The Ethel soon got away with the lead, and on rounding the eastern mark boat was four minutes ahead, the time being, Ethell 3: 11, Midge 3: 15, between this point and the western mark boat, under Babbicombe, and sailing before the wind, the distance between them remained precisely the same, the Ethel rounding at 4: 3, the Midge at 4: 7. After this the Ethel improved her position, passing the committee boat 4: 23: 30, the Midge 4: 28: 19. They continued in this order till the Ethel fetching Babbicombe Bay was suddenly becalmed; Midge, on the contrary, had a rattling breeze, which she brought with her, and passed the Ethel about 200 yards to leeward, just after rounding the western mark boat. In two or three minutes the Ethel got the breeze, but it was too late— she could not recover her lost ground. They came in as follows:— Midge 6: 49: Ethel 6: 51. The committee offered £ 10 to be sailed for by yachts which declined to race with the Ethel, but there were no entries. A PRIZE of £ 5, for fishing boats belonging to the port of Teignmouth ; first £ 3, second £ 1 10s, third 10s ; once round the course ( about 15 miles). There were four entries— Gipsy Queen ( Morrett) and the John ( Coolman) of Teignmouth, the President ( J. Matthews) and the John Richard ( Stiggins) of Shaldon. The start was at 1: 40. The John Richard very soon indicated her superiority by taking the lead, aud keeping it. They came in as follows :— John Richard 4: 38, President 4: 43: 30, the John 5: 8, the Gipsy Queen not timed. A PRIZE of 4 sovs, for four oared boats not exoeeding 28 feet in length ; first £ 2, second £ 1 5s, third 15s. The entries were:— Pelter ( R. Gilpin), Thunderbolt ( S. Nathan), and Waft ( S. Clarke), all of Teigumouth. Thunderbolt was very soon beaten off. The other two then made a most exciting race, running neck and neck for at least a quarter of a mile, the Waft winning by about six feet. Another PRIZE of 4 sovs, for four- oared boats ; first £ 2, second £ 1 5s, third 15s. There were four entries, and the boats came in as follows :— Asa ( Perryman) 1, Lily ( Hooper) 2, Miuna ( Beater) 3, Pride of the Teign ( Lee) 4. A PRIZE of 50s, for two- oared boats not exceeding 16 feet, to be rowed without a coxswain ; first £ 1, second 15s, third 10s. This race was well contested, but did not display any feature of f> ecial interest. The boats came home in the following order :— va ( Perryman) 1, Ethel ( Mansfield) 2, George ( Dodd) 3, Sisters ( Wakeham) 4, Swift ( Simmons) 5. In consequence of there being a heavy lop on, the com mittee decided to reserve the Amateur Prize of 5 sovs for a more favourable day. As usual, there was abundance of shore amusements, and thousands of people to witness them. BABBICOMBE REGATTA. A near neighbour of Teignmouth, and within two or three gun shots of the exquisite marine retreat of the Bishop of Exeter ( Bishopstowe), Babbicombe boasts natural aud adventitious attractions which but few spots in England can boast. Yachts- men have but little to de with the polemic belligerent who for so many years has kept alive contending / actions, but they can- not pass Ansty's Cove without complimenting the taste of the right rev prelate, and perhaps in some cases ( for even yachtsmen have their weaknesses) envying him that stroke of good luck which put him in possession of so enviable a spot. It is net often his lordship takes a cruise, for the shortest way to London and Durham is via the South Devon and the railways thereunto at- tached, and as hia lordship's only attractions are the House of Peers and the stalls in the northern city, the inducements to additional exercise at his time of life are not sufficiently attrac- tive. It was thought at one time that the right reverend pre- late would subscribe a trifle to the regatta, but it unfortunately happens that the claims of a large family absorb all the cash he can spare for amusement, and his lordship has been heard to rer mark that even attending to those claims is really no joke. So much for the gossip of Babbicombe about the bishop. As for the sports, they more than realised the most sanguine expecta- tions. Teignmouth must hide its diminished head in such a presence. With much less pretension and far less money the sport shown at Babbicombe on Tuesday was incomparably superior to that of Teignmoutb. The attendance, it is true, was not so great, because the means of approach are more limited; still a goodly company assembled on the beach, and a much larger number on the hill, aud these latter, if they did not see sufficient of the racing to analyse it scientifically, amused themselves accord- ing to their own peculiar tastes with the shore attractions which are always attendant on these aquatic snorts. The racing-, although very good, and occasionally exciting, was not such as to invite special comment. PRIZE of £ 3 for fishing feoats belonging to the port. There were five entries, and the boats came in as follows:— Principal 1, Louisa 2, Britannia 3, Mary Emily 4, Henry 5. PRIZE of £ 4 for sailing boats, not exceeding 27 feet, open to any port; first prize £ 2, second £ 1 5s, third 15s. There were five entries— the Channel Bird, Capt Dick, R. N., Paignton ; Nautilus, R. Harris, Babbicombe; Gannett, Pearson, Tor- quay; Little Wonder, Tapscott, Lympstone; Pamella, R. Car- nell, Lympstone. The start took place at 2: 25. The reputation of Gannett took away all interest which might otherwise have beeu exoited, and many persons went so far as to say that sbe ought to aspire a little, aud not content herself with the position she now takes. The result shows that she is far superior to any of her competitors. The boats came home in the following order .— Gannett 4: 30: 20, Pamella 4: 40: 7, Little Wonder 4: 58: 7, Channel Bird 5: 0: 26. Nautilus, who was running well, carried away her mast the first round, and lost her chance of the race. Six SOVS for sailing boats not exceeding 32 feet, open to any port; 1st prize £ 3, 2d £ 2, 3d *£ 1. The entries were, Lily of the Valley, Shears, Exmouth ; Jack, J. Snell, Brixham ; Star, T. Lear, Torquay ; Lyon, Harley, Torquay ; Mystery, Thomas, Torquay; they started at 2: 16. This race excited some interest from the fact that some boats were of known and the others of doubtful reputation. Some of them kept pretty well together, and in consequence of having to tack once or twice to make the committee's boat the issue was speculative eveu to the last VENTNOR AND UNDERCLIFF REGATTA. TUESDAY, AUG 25.— The regatta of this fashionable watering place, situate on the beautiful ' Andercliff of the Isle of Wight, came off on Tuesday in Ventnor Cove, or Mill Bay as it is some- times called. The bill of fare presented sailing, rowing, and swimming matches, boat racing, punts, aud other aquatic and rustic feats too numerous to mention. The beautiful esplanade lately constructed along the shore was thronged with a fashion- able company, and the neighbouring heights were also crowned with spectators. On no previous occasion have we known the Ventuor Regatta to have passed off with greater eclat. Aud the visitors aud spectators are indebted to those indefatigable and persevering tradesmen who, as a committee, came forward to cater for the public. The sun was hot, but there was a pleasant breeze from the westward, which tended much to render the heat less oppressive. It was what is there called a long- shore wind, which created a smooth sea in the offing and little, if any, surf on the beach. The sailing and rowing matches were most admirably contested; aud though it was not the fate of the Veutnoriaus to carry off the first prizes, there is no doubt from the lesson shown to them that day by their rivals at Shanklin that before another annual return of the season they will pro- duce some boats which will be better able to cope with their neighbours'. The feature of the day was the swimming match, which, we understand, was specially subscribed for by a worthy patron of humanity residing at Ventnor. Throughout the afternoon an excellent baud enlivened the company on the esplanade. Several of the " Blues" were present to keep order, in case of need ; but their office proved 011 this occasion to be a sinecure, and the town clerk will, consequently, be again deprived of his fees. The following is the programme of the day, and the order in which the respective winners crowned the events :— First class sailing boats, first prize £ 2, second £ 1, losing boats 5s each. The following were the entries:— Yankee, J. Prouton, Shanklin ; Nettle, Capt Scott, Shanklin; Fairy, W. Bull, Ventnor ; Albert, W. Bull, Ventnor; Stork, W. Haynes, Ventnor. This was a most exciting and interesting match between the Yankee, Fairy, aud Albert, which three vessels only started. The course was from the flag vessel, moored in the centre of the bay, thence rouuda boat off Bonchurch, thence returning to the westward, reund a flag- boat moored off the west end of the cove and back— twice round. At noon the boats were started. There was a very pleasant breeze from the westward, with which they proceeded to the eastward with the wind dead aft, the Yankee taking the lead, followed by Albert aud Fairy, all of them keep- ing well together. After having rounded the flag- boat off Bon- church they hauled their wind, and worked down in shore out of the tide, until they accomplished the extreme limit of their course then bore away to accomplish the same feat, and eventually reached the goal in the following order:— Yankee, 1: 13: 50 ; Albert, 1: 19: 20 ; Fairy, 1: 21: 55. PUNT RACE, for boys.— First prize 10s, second 5s. This was won by Emily, R. Barton of Ventuor, four others coming in as under :— Lotty, C. Young; Driver, W. Wickena : Poucher, G. Mingham ; aud the Tortoise, B. Moses. AMATEUR PUNT RACE.— Tortoise, J. Bull, 1; Eaiily, G. Ming- ham, 2 ; Duck, J. Jolliffe, 3; Musquito, W. Judd, 4 ; Arrow, J. - Shrapnell, 5. SECOND CLASS SAIL BOATS, for prizes varying from 25s to 5s. This was also a very excellent race, and the boats admirably handled, the course being from the starting vessel to the flag- boat off West End, twice round, the object beiugtokeep the sports as much as possible in front of the town. The following started :— Pearl, Thos. Hunt; Dove, W. Bull; Albion, E. Wil- liams ; Myrtle, T. Hunt; Sarah, T. Wheeler; Emma, C. Wheeler. At two p. m. the start was effected, and in an instant the Mosquito fleet was away, canting round on the starboard tack, the Albion taking the lead. After working to the west- ward and rounding the flag- boat they bore away to the goal, and in this manner performed the second round of the course. Such was their equal rate of sailing that they kept throughout nearly the same relative distance from each other as at the start. The following are the particulars and order of arrival:— YACHT. E1RST ROUND, SECOND ROUND. H. M. S. H. M. S. ALBION 2 25 0 2 51 30 SARAH 2 26 0 2 51 50 DOYE 2 26 45 2 52 10 EMMA 2 27 0 2 52 15 MYRTLE 2 28 30 2 55 0 PEARL 2 29 18 2 57 0 AMATEUR ROWING MATCH, won by the Flying Cloud of Shanklin, beating Alma, G. Blake, and Swallow, L. Long of Ventnor ; a well- coutested race, although we opine that the Flying Cloud's crew were thorough watermen. The Clifford, J. Jolliffe, and Edward, J. Bull, though entered, did not start. The SWIMMING MATCH.— First prize £ 2 10s, secend £ 1 103, third 15s. It appeared that it had been stipulated that six should start, or no race, and as only five had entered there was some difficulty in obtaining a sixth. Old Bird was at length persuaded by the committee to make up a volunteer, and having obeyed the mandate, gained the first prize. The swimmers, whose names we could not learn beyond that of the winner, proceeded to the station boat, aud there dressed in suitable at- tire for a water frolic, disencumbered themselves of their gar- ments, and at gun fire werj off like divers. Bird went away with a lead, which he kept. The course was a good half mile, half of which was against tide, and his swimming was first- rate. None of the men at the finish appeared exhausted. SAILING FISHING BOATS.— Prince ltoyal, T. Hunt, 1; Sky- lark, T. Wheeler, 2; Redwing, J. Cumming, 3; Fear Nothing, R. Barton, 4. The Mudlark, H. Baker, was entered, but ren- dered hors de combat; one of her crew, just previous to the start, went to the mast- head to reeve a halliard, when from his weight aloft the boat heeled over and filled, aud would have sunk had not boats been close to her at the time ; she was hauled ashore in safety. FIRST CLASS ROWING GALLEYS.— Flying Cloud, C. Simmonds ® f Shanklin, 1: Alma, A. Lale of Ventnor, 2 ; Swallow, T. Hunt of Ventnor, 3 ; Wave, W. Cobnut of Shankliu, 4 ; Edward, W. Bull of Ventnor, 5. The Arrow did not start. SECOND CLASS ROWING GALLEYS.— Won by Streamer, R. Barton, beating Mary Jane, W. Bull; Boxiron, J. Prouten ; and Clifford, J. Cumming. A DUCK HUNT, and other sports, wound up the amu sessients Panther ( F. Tutt) 2, Unity ( A. Hutchinson) 3, Mary Jane ( H. Roberts) 4, Lightning ( Greenside, Esq) 5.

TENBY REGATTA. Possessed of every local advantage for a first- class regatta, it is a matter of some surprise that Tenby should have been so long without one. The inhabitants have, however, aroused them- selves from their inactivity, and have inaugurated a regatta which bids fair to be among the most successful on the coast. Friday, August 21, was the day fixed for the sports to take Elace, under the patronage of Sir John Owen, the Lord- lieutenant of Pembrokeshire. The stewards were Captain Tatham, R. N.; Alexander Edwards, Esq ; Lieut- Cal Marriott, R. A.; Captain Glynn, R. N.; R. Fothergill, Esq ; Major Rick- man ; Captain Aldridge, R. N.; and N. John Dunn, Esq, aud the honorary secretary, to whose zeal and energetic management much of the success of the day is to be ascribed, was 3Iaule Sut- ton, Esq. SAILING MATCHES. The first race was for a prize of £ 50, and was open to all achts of any royal yacht club being not less than 20 tons register; time race ; three to start or no race ; entrance £ 1 Is. There were five entries, but only four started, viz :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. VIGILANT 86 J. C. Atkins, Esq WILDEIRE 58 J. TurnerTurner. Esq CYCLONE. . 43 W. Patterson jun Esq | OSPREY .. 30 W. H. Neville, Eiq The distance, according to the programme for the first sailing match, was from the starting vessel which was moored about half a mile off the Pier, twice rouud a vessel moored off Ragwen Point, and thence round a vessel moored some ten miles off in the channel, thence round the rocks known as the Woolhouses off the east end of Caldy Island, and back the second time to the starting ship. For the other races only once round. Precisely at ten minutes after twelve o'clock the gun was fired for the first race, when the four yachts started in good order, the Wildfire being slightly ahead. The Cyclone, Vigilant, and Osprey, fol- lowed in close succession, but the Wildfire kept her position throughout the whole race. She rounded the starting ship the first time at seven minutes after two o'clock, followed by the Cyclone at 19 minutes after, by the Vigilant at 21 minutes after, and by the Osprey, at 39 minutes after two. They came round the second heat in similar order, and at the following times :— H. M. s. | H. M. S. | H. M. S. WILDHRE .... 4 23 30 I CYCLONE 4 39 0 | VIGILANT 4 54 0 There was half a minute per ton allowed for tonnage, the Wild- fire consequently won by eight minutes. SECOND RACE, for a prize of £ 20, opea to' all yachts of any royal yacht club, not exceeding 20 tons register; no time for tonnage allowed; three to start or no race; entrance 10s 6d. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. VESPER 15 G. A. Beavan. Esq GEM 18 J. J. De Winton, Esq FOAM 7 G. N. Maude, Esq The yachts started precisely at 12 minutes after one o'clock, and were to sail only once round. The Vesper took the lead at starting, and maintained her usual superiority as a fast sailing cutter. She arrived at the winning vessel exactly at 42 minutes after three o'clock, distancing her two antagonists, which did not come home for some time after. THIRD RACE, for a prize of £ 7, open to all sailing boats of not more than 25 feet length of keel; three to start or no race entrance 5s. Pearl, C. Creese; Tiger, J. Hampson; Chance, J Evans. This was a very smart race, and well contested. The Chance, however, was decidedly the winner: Chance 1, Tiger 2 Pearl 3. FOURTH RACE, for a prize of £ 7, open to all Tenby and Brixham fishing smacks ; time race, four te start or no race; entrance 5s. Charles Pearce, James Evans; Savage, Samuel Bully; Emlyn, John Goodridge. According to the rules, four boats were requisite to form a race, but as there was no fourth entry up to the appointed moment of starting, this race was declared off. FIFTH RACE, for a prize of £ 2, second boat £ 1, open to all dredge boats ; seven to start or no race; entrance Is. There was not a single entry, as wo understood, for this race. ROWING MATCHES. FIRST RACE, for a cup or purse, value £ 8, for four- oared gigs, to be rowed by gentlemen amateurs, and not to exceed 30 feet in length; three to start or no race; entrance, £ 1. There was no entry for this race either. SECOND RACE, for a prize of £ 6. for four- oared gigs, not to exceed 25 feet in length ; three to start or no race; extrance 7s Falcon, George Rees; Elizabeth, Thomas Evans, Black Joke, R. Teddy. This race was a very sharply contested and exciting one. The distance was from the starting vessel thrice round the Carr rock, a ledge of rock lying a little to the Easi of St Catherine's Island, and back the third time to the starting vessel. The Falcon lying nearest inshore, and evidently pulled by an experienced crew, gradually went ahead of her antagonists, aud at length stole away from them. They rounded the starting vessel each time in the order in which they stand above, the Falcon on the third round being the winner by upwards of 200 yards. Minor amusements closed the sports, which were considered highly successful, and in the evening there was a dinner and a ball, both of which were well attended. HASTINGS REGATTA. This regatta was to have come off on Tuesday, August 25, but owing ( unfortunately) to circumstances over which the com' mittee had no control, the sailing watches only took place Every arrangement was made for a successful issue, and had the weather been favourable for rowing, the meeting would no doubt have passed off highly satisfactory to all parties. The first race was by first- class sailing boats, not exceeding 18 feet; prizes, £ 2 10s, £ 110s, 15s, and 10s. Seven boats started, and, after a rather spirited contest, the following four were placed :— Queen ( A. Taylor) 1, Henry ( R. Kent) 2, Herring ( J, Ball) 3, Fly ( A. Taylor) 4. The second race was for boats not exceeding 16 feet; prizes, £ 110s, £ 1,10s, and 5s. There were five entries, but only three boats started. The race, which terminated as under, was an in- teresting one :— Fly ( A. Taylor) 1, Henry ( R. Kent) 2, Lively ( J Oliver) 3. This concluded the sport of the day, and it was pub licly announced that the meeting would be resumed on the fol lowing ( Wednesday) afternoon, at two o'clock. WEDNESDAY, AUG 26— The weather this afternoon was highly favourable to the racing, and an immense number of spec- tators had collected on the Marine Parade by two o'clock. Many of the contests were of a spirited character. We subjoin a return of the respective races:— FIRST CLASS FOUR- OARED GALLEYS, regatta- built, and not exceeding 30 feet; prizes, £ 15, £ 8, and £ 5; entrance fee, 5s Black Bess ( T. Tutt) 1, Anne ( J. Fairey) 2, Arrow ( E. Goldsmith) 3, Unity ( H. Davelin) 4. AMATEUR PAIR- OARED SKIPFS ( with cox); prizes, 15s, 10S 7s 6d, aud 5s; entrance fee, Is;— Nautilus ( E. Goldsmith) 1, MILFORD REGATTA. According to announcement the regatta of 1857 for the famed Milford Haven took place on Wednesday last, and the weather being all that could be desired, some thousands were assembled to view the aquatic sports, lining the banks of the Haven from the Chapel of Ease at the entrance of the town to the point off Hakin. The starting vessel was moored off the pier, the manag- ing committee being stationed on board, and Captain Williams performed the arduous task of starting every race. Mr Rib- bon's band was stationed on the pier, access to which, for the Eublic, was gained by the payment of sixpence. Everything eing ready, the sports commenced about two o'clock, with the FIRST RACE, a cup value 50 guineas ; for yachts of any rig, of 20 tons and upwards, belonging to any royal yacht club; time race, half a minute per ton up to 60 ; entrance, 2 guineas; three to start or no race. There were five crack yachts entered for this race on the afternoon of Tuesdsy, but on the following morning two were objected to, and consequently withdrawn, namely, the Vigilant and Vesper. It appears that the committee were of opinion that they could by a majority, enter schooners on the same regulation as cutters as to time, but when the stewards came to deliberate on the matter they decided against the committee, and that they must abide by the published re- gulations of the regatta, namely, that schooners be reckoned at two- thirds of their actual tonnage in calculating the time given to, or received from cutters. The proprietor of the Vigi- lant, J. C. Atkins, Esq, of Cork, not failing in with the deci- sion of the stewards consented to retire although he had paid his entrance fee, which, of course, was returned to him. The objection to the Vesper, a cutter of 15 tons, belonging to G. A. Beavan, Esq, of Swansea, was, that being under 20 tons she could not compete wit a yachts above 20 tons, although Mr Beavau was willing to enter her at 20 tons, which proposition the stewards opposed, aud the Vesper was withdrawn, leaving the 50 guineas cup to be competed for by the following :— YACHT. TONS, OWNER. WILDFIRE 59 J. Turner, Esq CYCLONE 41 W. Patterson, Esq LA REVE 35 J. Thomson, Esq The three yachts having got to their buoys, the gun fired, up went and out spread their snowy canvas, and the three got under weigh in gallant style, La Reve taking the lead, Cyclone second, and Wildfire third. I11 a short while, however, the Cyclone wrested the lead from La Reve, and for which she was punished, as she was pushed so close under the laud as both of them to become for a while motionless, and to lose their chance of success for the day, as the Vv ildfire c& me up, passed them, and rounded the Wear buoy, and from here down to the har- bour's mouth, aud up to the winning buoy off tha starting- vessel, the game was all in her own hands, and she won the cup in gallant style, being in advance of the Cyclone ten minutes, out of which, however, the difference of tonnage Eaust be deducted. SECOND RACE, a cup or purse, value 20 guineas, for sailing pleasure boats, of any rig, under 20 tons burthen; time race, three quarters of a minute per ton, For this race three Mudian- rigged boats were entered, namely, the NAME. TONS. OWNER. ARROW 10 Mr Lewis. FAIRY 9 Messrs G. Thomas and Gould. SYLPH 4 Mr Julian Harries. This was the best- contested sailiug maicli of the day, the boats being very fairly matched ; there seemed also to be more interest felt in its decision than in the 50 guinea prize, principally on account of the boats being so well known in the Haven. The signal gun having been tired, they got away in good style, the start being iu favour of the Fairy, but the wind coming to the eastward, and being very light, the Arrow rounded the Wear Buoy first. The breeze now freshening enabled the Fairy to take the lead of the Arrow, and run down the Harbour closely followed by ker rival, both keeping close under Bullwell, passing the roadstead of Angle, and on for the Lewis Buoy, off St Anne's, in rounding which the Fairy had to shift jibs, aud lost a great deal of her vantage ground. Owing to tliis circumstance the Arrow was enabled to come pretty close— nearly neck and neck— and a beautiful race ensued up to the buoy iu Monk Haven, the Fairy, however, being the leading boat, aud sailing 011 the star- board tack; in rounding this buoy the Arrow, being 011 the port tack, attempted to shoot a- head unfairly, and to cross the bows of the Fairy, but failed, aud the consequence was that they fouled. In consequence of this fouling the Arrow avoided tacking ( which she must have done had she kept her proper course aud gone astern), took the lead from the Fairy, and rounded the buoy at Monk Haven about two minutes before her opponents, and sailed away in gallant style, every inch of canvas being set, but closely chased by the Fairy, which gained nearly a minute on her from the fouling buoy up to the winning vessel, which they passed in the time we kept as follows:— H. M. s. I H. M. s. ARROW 6 1 0 | FAIRY 6 2 23 Time allowed the latter 011 account of tonnage, three quarters of a minute, so that the Arrow was declared by all on board to be the winner by 38 seconds. Both vessels were loudly and heartily cheered by their different friends and backers, but the race is not always to the swift, for on the arrival of the pro- prietor of the Fairy 011 board the starting vessel, he entered his protest 011 the ground of a foul, and on Monday the stewards awarded the 20 guinea prize to the Fairy, which makes her a winner, iu less than twenty- four months, of nearly £ 80. She was built by Mr James Thomas of Hakin, aud launched about two years since. THIRD RACE, a purse, value £ 5, for sailing pleasure boats of nine tons and under; time race, one minute and a half lerton, and for which the three following were entered:— Freak, Mr Alpass, 6 tons ; Vestal, Mr J. Thomas, 5 tons; the Sylph, Mr John Harries, 4 tons. The Sylph is a well- known Mudian- rigged boat, having carried off the 30 guinea prize iu Milford in 1854. A good start was effected, and up to the Wear Buoy the three boats were ably contesting the ground, but in rounding the Sylph fouled, and so left the race in the hands of the ot'-. er two. The Vestal rounded the Wear in advance of the Freak, and sailed away for the Stack Rock, closely waited upon by Captain Alpass, who struggled hard for mastery, making the race a most exciting one; but the Vestal, after a sharp contest, was declared the winner. FOURTH RACE, for Milford sailing flsliing boats, of 18 feet keel; first prize £ 1103, second £ 1, third 10s. Three boats only were entered, aamely, the John and William ( John Lewis), Elizabeth ( Ben. Lewis), and Robert ( John Lewis). The race all through was in favour of the John and Williarr- , and she came in considerably in advance of the other two, and was consequently awarded the first prize, Elizabeth claiming the second, and Master Robert taking the third. FIFTH RACE, for open sailing boats; first prize 15s, second prize 5s. For this race three were entered, viz, Miss Topsy ( Birdwaod), Rose, and Margaret Louisa ( Macmaster). The Margaret Louisa having fouled, the other did not report herself, but steered off, leaving the prize in the hands of Miss Topsy and Rose." SIXTH RACE, a Prize Cup, value 15 guineas. This was an amateur race, for four- oared gigs, not to exceed 36 feet in length, and for which three boats were entered, namely, the Novice, F. Leifchild; Blue Bell, J. Thomas; Nautilus, H. Keys. I11 order that our readers m? y have some idea of the interest taken in this race, we must state thot the two first named were built specially for this contest, and reflect the highest credit on the builders— the Blue Bell by iVir Jas. Thomas, and the Novice by Messrs Hogan. It is also right to state that the Nautilus is an old boat, and has seen six or seven summers. Having drawn lots for buoys, the three boats took their stations, the Nautilus having the inside buoy, the Novice in the centre, and the Blue Bell nearest the shore. On the firing of the starting gun the Nautilus aud Blue Bell went off well together, the Novice losing nearly a length, which however she soon recovered, and gradually drew past the Blue Bell and abreast of the Nautilus, when one of those unhappy accidents called fouling took place, and tae point will have to be decided by the committee. A race for four- oared gigs, a punt race, and other amusements followed, and the regatta was wound up by a dinner at the Lord Nelson Hotel, which was well attended. NAME. BIJOU DOVE ELECTRIC FANNY FLIRT VIRAGO ... IRISH MODEL YACHT CLUB. The first regatta of the Irish Model Yacht Club came off on Wednesday, the 26th instant, in Dublin Bay, under the most favourable circumstances. This club, which has been only re- cently established, promises to be one of the most successful of the model clubs, and will no doubt give a great impetus to tha encouragement of small yachts in the Irish waters. The day was most favourable for sight- seers, and the wind, though not quite strong enough for the larger boats, was still sufficient to try the sailing powers of nearly all the yachts, and at times as much as they could stagger under. A considerable number of people assembled to see the races, crowding the jetties and piers, whilst the harbour presented a gay and enlivening scene, all the yachts being decked in their gayest bunting. The flag- ship of the day was the Blanche, R. WVY. C.. which was handed over by her owner, Thomas Maunsell Dualevie, Esq, iu the kindest manner for the purposes of the regatta, and in which during the day all the parties belonging to the club were entertained in the most hospitable manner. The Blanche was moored near the mouth of the harbour, the yachts starting from their anchors in a line anead of the flag- ship. The regatta consisted of two races, the first for yachts from six to twelve tons, the second for yachts uader six tons. On the present occasion, however, the rule con- fining larger boats to twelve tons was extended to fifteen tons. Tha FIRST RACE of the day was for yachts the property of mem- bers of the Irish Model Yacht Club, uader fifteen tons; time for tonnage, 45 seconds per ton. The following boats were entered, viz :— TONS. OWNER. .. 14 R. D. Kane, Esq .15 T. D. Keogh, Esq . R. M. Grenell, Esq . 9 E. Nugent, Esq . 74 R. Battley, Esq .11 J. S. Byrne, Esq GIPSY 12 E. Clarke, Esq On the signal being made the fleet got off in beautiful style, with a nice breeze from the S. S. W. The course was a distance of about thirty miles, being twice round a flag- boat three miles to the eastward of Kingstown Harbour, thence to the black buoy off the Poolbeg, and back to Kingstown, winning on the second round on the starboard hand of the Blanche. On starting the Flirt took the lead, closely fallowed by the Electric, Bijou, and Virago, with the Dove, Gipsy, aud Fairy close astern. Just at starting the Virago carried away her bob- stay, throwing her out of her position in the race. The relative position of the boats was kept until about half way to the first flag- boat, when the Virago passed the Dove and Electric taking third place, aud rounding the first flag- boat about a minute after the Bijou aud Flirt, On the run to the far buoy the Electric showed her sailing powers, easily taking the second place, and rounding the buoy immediately under the stern of the Bijou, which, with the Flirt and Virago, might almost be covered with a handkerchief at the time. The beating up from the bar to Kingstown brought out the Bijou's weatherly powers, she holdiug a far better wind and passing the flag- boat off the harbour a long way ahead of the others, with the Flirt, Dove, which had come up on the beat, and Virago close up. On the second round, in passing the first flag- boat the Virago came up and passed the Dove and Flirt, again taking second place and keeping the lead to the bar buoy, when the wind dying off she was collared by the Dove about mid- way between the bar buoy and Kingstown. The wind still falling off the Flirt crept ahead, all the boats coming in in the following order :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. BIJOU 4 59 13 VIRAGO 5 19 30 DOVE 5 H 55 ELECTRIC ..., 5 27 30 FLIRT 5 15 151 Allowing time for tonnage, the first prize, the cup, wa3 taken by the Bijou, and the second by the Flirt. The SECOND RACE was for boats under 6 tons, the property of msmbers of the club; the same course; o » ce round. The fol- lowing boats were entered, viz:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. TORMENT 5J W. Todhunter TRUANT 3 R. Barklie WILL- O'- THK- WISP 34 A. Faulkner BACCHANTE 34 H. H. Alien DWARF 4 W. Todhuuter TEMEBAIBE 4 R. O'Grady This start was also made ia beautiful style, the little Truant getting off first, with the Torment close on her stern, followed by the Bacchante, Temeraire, Dwarf, and Will- o'- the- Wisp. On passing the first flag, the Torment took the lead, which she kept all round, the yachts coming in the following order:— s H. M. S. GIPSY 5 31 22 FANNY 5 35 26 H. M. S. H. M. S. | E. M. S.

The course for the larger boats, oyer 30 miles, was sailed over in less than two hours and a half. Tne members of the club diued together in the evening. SHEPPERTON AND HALLIFORD REGATTA. This regatta took place on Saturday, Aug 22, under the pa tronage of W. S. Lindsay, Esq, M. P., and the Right Hon the Lord Mayor of London, and is the second which has taken place in this neighbourhood among the watermen, fishermen, and landsmen. Of course it is not to be supposed that a regatta of this kind could put forth attractions of a very superior kind, but for a merry little domestic meeting nothing would easily be found to surpass it. A considerable sum of money had been col- lected, and the gentlemen living in the neighbourhood were very active in the arrangements, the most con- spicuous among them being J. Draper, Esq, and Dr Col- quhcun, so well known as a staunch supporter of aqua- tics on the Thames. Neither of these gentlemen spared any trouble in the preparations, or in personal observation, that all should go right 011 the day. Mr Lindsay threw open his grounds, which have the most beautiful lawn frontage perhaps cf all the famous residences of the Thames, and' entertained a numerous and fashionable party, among whom were the Lord Mayor of London and Lady Mayoress ; Sir William Williams of Kars, Aldermen Sir James Duke, Hum- phrey, Sydney, and Carden, besides many other leading men of the City. The Leander Club went up the river in their eight, manned by the best of their oarsmen, at the special invitation of Mr Lindsay, by whom they were sumptuously entertained, and acted as umpires in several of the races. The band of the 3d Royal Surrey Militia played in the grounds, aud tha day was perhaps the most splendid of all this splendid summer. The matches weie decided as follows :— SCULLERS MATCH.— Winners of heats: lstheat. R. Strudwick; „ 2d, H. Strudwick ; 3d, H. Rippingale ; 4th, J. Kean ; 5th, J.—* Smith.— Final heat: J. Kean, 1; R. Strudwick, 2; H. Strud£ i « , wick, 3. SINGLE PUNTS.— Winners of heats : G. Howe, 1; J. Roger- son, 2 ; J. Purdue, 3.— Final heat: J. Purdue, 1; J. Rogerson, 2; G. Hone, 3. r OARS.— Winners of heats: E. and S. Purdue, 1; Bright and Neal, 2 ; Rippingale and Hone, 3.— Final heat: Bright aud Neal, 1; Rippingale and Hone, 2; E. and S. Purdue, 3. DOUBLE PUNTS.— Heats : E, and S. Purdue, 1; J. and W. Rogerson, 2.— Final heat: J. aud W. Rogerson. The punting was some of the best we have ever witnessed, and would not have disgraced the heroes of Eton and Oxford. An abundance of rural sports followed. At four o'clock, about 150 guests of Mr Lindsay sat down to dinner in a marquee erected on the lawn, when, after the usual loyal toasts, the health of tha defender of Kars was drunk with great distinction. At the con- clusion of the races the prizes were given to the successful com- petitors by Dr Colquhoun, and after some kind w< rds from Mrs Lindsay, encouraging the men to an honest perseverance in their various vocations, the company separated. TALKIN TARN REGATTA, This regatta was held on Thursday and Friday, Aug 20 and 21- The weather was all the most ardent lover of the sports could desire— the company numerous and brilliant. The wrestling was not held on the usual ground, but near the new boat- house, on some land, previously peat moss, which had been drained and levelled by Mr John Ramshaw purposely for the sport. It was admirably suited to the purpose, and the change appeared to give general satisfaction. An account will be found else where. There were 15 cups, elegant in design and workmanship, to be competed for, eight of which were carried off on Thursday. The first race, a pair- oared race, for the Naworth Castle Cups, value £ 8, came off at half- past two. There were three entries, and the following are the names of the - boats and crews: — London and Newcastle— T. J. Picket ( Newcastle), A. Lloyd ( London). Heather Bell, Brampton— William Milburn, Wil- liam Carrick. Newcastle— L. Bell, O. P. Wilson. All the boats started prettily, the Heather Bell after a few pulls drawing perceptibly ahead; but as luck would have it, Carrick " caught a crab," and pitched poor Milburn into the water, who got a ducking and lost the race. The Admiral's barge rowed up to the unfortunates, picked up Carrick, and towed Milburn ashore. Meanwhile the other boats proceeded, Bell and Wilson rounding the buoy first, with Messrs Pickett and Lloyd's nose almost touching their stern. Eventually the latter drew ahead, and won the race in good style. The COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' CUP, value £ 5, was next competed for; this was a skiff race, in heats.— First heat: Nil Desperandum, Newcastle. T. J. Picket, 1; Blue Jacket, Bramp- ton, Wm. Milburn, 2 ; Belted Will, Brampton, Wm. Carrick, 0. — Second hoat: Ebor, London, A. O. Lloyd. 1; Evadne, New- castle, W. A. Ross, 2.— Final heat: Nil Desperandum, 1; Ebor 2. In the first heat Milburn took the lead for a short distance. Carrick went out shortly after starting. Picket rounded the buoy first, and came in an easy winner. In the second heat Lloyd had it all his own way from first to last. In the deciding heat Picket and Lloyd kept together for about a quarter of a milq, when the former drew ahead, and rounded the buoy first, ultimately winning byjabout six boat's lengths. Scratch races concluded the sports. On Friday, the second day, the sports were also of a first- class order, and were well contested. FIRST RACE. — The NETHERBY CUP, value £ 4.— Pair- oar race; entrance 5s each boat; the winner of the Naworth Castle Cups excluded.— 1. Black— The Gateshead( T. A. R. C.); W. Wood- man ; S. Bell.— 2. Blue— Lady Mary, Brampton; William Mil- burn; James Hadock.— 3. Buff— Excelsior ( T. A. R. C.), New- castle ; T. S. Smith; W. A. Ross.— This race was decided in one heat; and was a woll- contested race, Black beating Blue by less than half a boat's length. SECOND RACE.— The BELTED WILL CUP, value £ 4.— Skiff race; entrance 5s each boat; the winner of the Commercial Travellers' Cup excluded.— 1. Blue and White— Ebor ( Stockton), E. O. Lloyd.— 2. Blue— Brampton Lass, W. Milburn,— 3, Buff— Elcelsior ( Newcastle), W. A. Boss.— An excellent start was effeeted in this race, No. 1 ( lieht blue), Mr Milburn, quickly showing his lead, which he maintained iti gallant style until turning the buoys, when Mr Lloyd put the steam on, and gra- dually drew upon him. When nearly opposite the old boat- house, Mr Milburn was still leading a little; however, Mr Lloyd, by a few desperate strokes, brought his boat bow to bow, and a most determined struggle took place in the run home, the Stockton gentleman having to exert all his powers to shake off his less experienced but more vigorous adversary, and only win- ning by about half a boat's ength. THIRD. RACE - The CORBY CASTLE CUPS, value £ 6, four- oared scratch race; to be rowed in foy boats; entrance 12s 6d each boat. First heat: First crew— First beat— S. Bell, T. J. Pickett, A. H. Brown, A. O. Lloyd ( stroke), W. Ions ( cox). Second crew: Second boat— T. Birkett, W. Turnbull, L. Thomas, James Ha- dock ( stroke), J. Ross ( cox). This was a very pretty race all through, but the first crew was evidently the strongest, and seemed to pull more scientifically than their opponents.— Second heat: Third crew— W. Pearson, John Leuthart, W. Milburn, R, Woodman ( stroke), W. Allan ( cox). Although this crew had a walk over, yet they were compelled to pull the distance in the same time as the winners in the first heat, iu order to qualify them to pull for the deciding heat, which they did easily.— Deciding heat: No. 3 crew 1, No. 1 crew 2. This was expected to be a grand race, as the crews were evenly matched, both in science and strength. A capital start was effected, and the boats kept bow and bow and stroke for stroke, until turning the buoys, when it became evident that the superior stroke of No. 3 crew would carry the day, which they did, coming in win- ners by about two boat's lengths. The race was an exctingone throughout, chiefly owing to the fact of Mr Milburn forming one of the crew, being the only Bramptonian successful enough to carry off a prize, RICHMOND ANNUAL REGATTA.— The assemblage at this re- gatta was greater than ever seen before ; the residents in the neighbourhood of the bridge having invited their friends and adorned their houses with flags. There were, in all, eight races, consisting of a waterman's double scullers match, in five heats, and three dingy races with boys, the prizes being a purse of sovereigns and others, including a supper to which the competi- tors afterwards sat down. The races were under the manage- ment of Mr. Godfrey, the following being the results :— Water- man's Race : First heat— T. Maekiuney and H. Kidner ( blue) 1, E. Redknap and R. Messum ( white) 0, R. Messum, sen and W. Bell ( red) 0. The distance was from Richmond Bridge down round a boat moored off St Margaret's, up round a boat moored off the Duke of Buccleuch's, and finish at the bridge. Blue took the lead, and kept it, winning by four lengths.— Second heat: W. Cox and W. New ( green) 1, J. Chitty and W. Kemp ( black) 0, J. Chitty and J. Borlev ( yellow) 0. After a few strokes the win- ners took the lead, and kept it, winning by four or five lengths. — Third heat: J. Jackson and J. Mackinney ( pink) 1, A. Chitty and J. Martin ( stripes) 0, J. Godfrey aud G. Newman ( purple) 0. Stripes and Purple fouled ; Pink then went ahead, and won easily.— Fourth heat: H. Messum and W. Piatt ( red and white) 1, G. Jackson and F. Godfrey ( blue and white) 0, G. Howard and C. Jackson ( black and white) 0. A good race with the first two boats for some distance, when the winners went ahead, and won by two or three lengths.— Final heat: Pink 1, Red and White 2, Green 3, Blue 4. Good race to first turn, when Pink, Green, and Blue fouled, Red aud White leading ; Pink then drew ahead, and won, after a good race, by two or three lengths.— Diog. v races with watermen's sons, for money prizes : First boy 4s, second 2s, with boats paid for out of the regatta fund. First race: E. Wheeler ( red) 1, C. Rigby ( white) 2. Second race: C. Wheeler ( red) 1, N. Rapley ( white) 2. Third race: J. Jackson ( white) 1, R. New ( red) 2. The boys rowed very well. The sports wound up with a pig hunt, climbing a greasy pole after a leg of mutton, and with geese drawing a clown in a tub, and the competitors afterwards sat down to supper at the Ship ( Mr Jones's). QUEEN'S PRINTERS' BOAT CLUB.— The third annual four- oared Cup race came off on Saturday, Aug 22. There were four crews entered :— White: Messrs Tully, Cane, Oatway, Ironside, Clements ( cox). Red: Messrs Palamouutain, Blatchley, Kirchoff, E. Smith, Sheppard ( cox). Blue: Messrs Glenister, Dexter, Willson, Ramsay, Fricker ( cox). Orange: Messrs Ebsworth, Painting, Page, Scarlett, Ayling ( cox). Citizen M was chartered for the occasion, and was filled with a highly respectable com- pany, members and friends of the club, including the Commo- dore, W. Spottiswoode, Esq, G. Spottiswoode, Esq, Mr W. Shinn, lion sec, & c. The distance was from Putney to Barnes Bridge. At half- past four o'clock the following boats took their stations, commencing on the Surrey shore:— White 1, Red 2, Blue 3, Orange 4. A capital start was effected, White taking the lead, followed by Blue, Red next, OraDge last. In this order they continued above Serle's, where Red got to their work, came up to Blue, and challenged White; a severe struggle en- sued up to Craven Cottage, and after some hard rowing Red got half a length in advance of Blue, which they increased to a length before arriving at Hammersmith Bridge, the leading boat gaining slightly until the, finish, and coming in excellent win- ners by four lengths, Blue second, White third, Orange ( who had broken an oar in the early part of the race) fourth. The steamer, after accompanying the race, proceeded to Kew and Richmond, returning to BlackfriarsBridge about dark, after a beautiful trip,, 0 2 TOWER OF LONDON ANNUAL REGATTA.— This regatta, whiL § 2p ' has been for many years under the management of Robert Ellam, came off yesterday, for a new boat and other prizes, sub- scribed by the ladies and gentlemen of the vicinity. The racing was in four heats, and a vast number of people came together to witness it. First heat: G. James ( pink) 1, G. Murgatroyd ( white) 0, J. James ( green) 0. The race lay between the Custom House and St Katharine's Dock buoy, twice rouud in each heat. White and Pink were scull and scull to the first turn, when the winner went ahead, winning easily. White and Green made a food race throughout.— Second heat: T. Newton ( blue) 1, W. obling ( red) 0, T. Jones.( yellow) 0. The winner had it all his own way, the others making a good close race throughout.— Third heat: White 1, Green 0, Red 0. Yellow 0, White and Green went away scull and scull, iu which position they remained half the distance, when the winner went ahead. The other two were all astern.— Grand heat: Blue 1, Pink 2, White 3. The two latter took the lead together, and kept it to the first turn, when they were so close that they fouled, and the wiwner, who was close up, turning well, went ahead, and won easily, Pink drawing well ahead of White. CAXTON ROWING CLUB.— This club, lately started at Messrs Clowes's, the printers in Stamford- street, opened with the first race of the season, for silver prizes, on Saturday, Aug 22. The club chartered Citizen J steam- boat, which was crowded by the men employed by the firm, the establishment closing at three on Saturday. The result of the race was as follows:— Messrs C.

Fraukland ( cox) ( pink) 3. When the word was given the men started well together, Yellow in a few strokes being in advance. A misfortune now occurred to Pitik, the coxswain losing his lines and the bowman breaking a rowlock; the race then laid between Blue and Yellow, the latter ef whom won very easily. The party on board the steamer appeared to enjoy the afternoon's amusement exceedingly, and too much cannot be said in favour of the promotion of early closing when these innocent recreations are encouraged at the same time. SAILING MATCH ON THE ORWELL.— An interesting match between the pilots' boats belonging to the port of Ipswich has taken place on the Orwell. Six boats started, in the following order:— Bastard D. Wright, jun ; Fanny, C. Hadgraft; Vivid, Mr Naunton ; Mary Ann, Girling, jun ; Agnes, Girling, sen; and Triumph, Bird. In coming to windward the Vivid obtained the lead, and maintained her superiority to the end, coming in two minutes ahead of the Fanny. Bastard was third, Mary Ann fourth, Agnes fifth, and Triumph sixth, A substantial supper, at the Steam Packet Inn, brought the proceedings to an agree able conclusion.

Chapman ( cox). The distance was from Putney Bridge to Chiswick Pier. They all started very evenly • Red dropped astern directly after the start, but it was a verv determined neck aad neck race between White and Blue for first place, until Hammersmith Bridge was reached, when White just managed to shake their plucky opponents off, and ultimately won by about two lengths.

TOM SAYERS AND BROOME'S NOVICE— Harry Broome writes to us that he is willing to abide by the arrangement re have pro- posed for the match between his novice and Tom Sayers. As to the deposits, he says he will leave them in our hands. We have received £ 10 a side from the men, and perhaps it will be as well if they send £ 20 each on Thursday week to our office. The last deposit should be tossed for, before the arrangements can be made as to the other deposits, and it would be as well if Broome appointed a deputy to meet Sayers or his backers at our office on Friday week, between twelve and one, to go through this ceremony. FIGHT FOR TUESDAY NEXT. Joe Wight ( alias Black Joe) and Alf Newton have made good their stakes, and are to fight for £ 25 a side on Tuesday next. They are to go to scale on Monday night between eight and nine, whew neither is to exceed 9st. The fight comes off half way be. tween Manchester and Westbromwich. MALPAS AND PRICE OF BILSTON.— It will be recollected we stated in onr number of last week that these men were matched to fight for £ 25 a side, Malpas at 10st, Price at lOst 21b, that they had met on the preceding Monday in Shropshire, but were unable to bring the affair off, after trying several places. It was then arranged that they should meet at Ben Terry's, in Bir- mingham, on the Friday following, and then fix upon a spot. Malpas and his friends were early at the meet, but Price did not put in an appearance till much later. The Rubery Hill, on the Worcester road, was the fixture named, and at four o clock the men crossed hands. A good deal of motsey was laid out at 6 to 4 on Malpas, who looked in fine condition. An excellent and pretty equal fight ensued for the first hour, Malpas in the second round drawing first blood fro ® the nasal organ of Frice; who received some severe punishment on the ribs, whilst Mai pas's phiz and nob showed evident signs of repeated visitation of Price's mawleys. After they had contended for one hour and forty minutes the police put in an appearance, aud strtted their determination to stop the fight. The instant the police appeared Price left the ring; Malpas remained with the intention of going on with the fight, the referee, however, waited away without giving any decision, and the match was therefore unfinished. The referee is bound to name another time and place of meeting. GEORGE BEASLEY AND B. EVANS.— These Birmingham men met, at catch weight, for £ 5 a side, on Monday, at Selhy Oak, on the Worcester- road, but the authorities put in » n appear- ance, and a move was at once made to Barrens Bridge, near Saltby, where a ring was pitched, and no time lost. 1 he men were pretty equally matched as to weight, height, & c. Beasley, in the fourth round, got first blood from Evans's nasal orgau. In the twentieth round Evans got the first knock- down blow, but Beaslev had the best of the fight for some time, so much so that his friends offered pounds to crowns after the fight had continued an hour. Evans showed great weakness, but was game to the back bono, and persevered. In the forty- first round there was a turn in his favour as he planted a heavy hit on the throat of Beasley, knocking him off his legs ; and on bis coming up in the next round he appeared groggy, and his blows were not effective. Evans's friends now urged him to go in and win, which he did; and, to the surprise of Beasley's friends, in the forty- third round their man cried a go, and Evans was therefore declared the winner after fighting one hour and ton minutes. MILLING IN AUSTRALIA.— We perceive by our last file of 1Sell's Life in Victoria, received per Great Britain, that our friends in Australia continue to uphold the cause of the Fist v the Knife by the practice of true British boxing. Among other battles we find a well written account of a mill between Jem Hushes and Dan Timmins, each weighing about 10s1121b, for £ 100 a side. It came off on the 28th of April, and appears to have been most gamely contested. After fighting 56 rounds in one hour and 28 minutes, Timmins was declared the victor. Both were severely punished. In another copy of the same paper we find accounts of two mills. The first came off on the 9th of April in the neighbourhood of Ballarat, and was between Ned White, a native of Birmingham, who made his first appear- ance in the P. R., and Jack Birch, a native of Shoreditch, who was born in 1822, and who as far back as 1842 was beaten by Jack Driscoll in 14 rounds at Melbourne Heath, Cambridge- shire. They fought 31 rounds in 91 minutes, when Birch was de feated. The second mill took place on Tuesday, April 14th, for £ 450 between Joe Kitchen and Bill Melody, both of whom are well known in* the Colonial Ring. Kitchen weighed lOst 101b, and stood 5ft 8$ in, while Melody was 5ft 10£ in, and weighed list 71b, and it was to counterbalance this advantage that he staked £ 250 to £ 200. They fought 11 rounds in 42 minutes, and Kitchen was the winner after a heavy pounding match. ! Stockbridge.

Cummins of Shepherd's Bush, and William Leggs of Hungerford Market, came off here on Monday last; the distance to be run was ten miles, Leggs getting one minute start, and Cummins laying £ 25 to £ 20. A more one- sided affair we never witnessed, for although Leggs had gone over nearly 400 yards in the minute start he received, his opponent passed him at the termination of the second mile; from this it was evident that all was over with Leggs, who finding such to be the case himself resigned the con- test almost immediately. Cummins then completed , his ten miles at leisure. The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office next Thursday, at twelve o'clock. NEALK AND SMITH.— An off- hand spin of 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, came off between these men previous to the foregoing match; after an exceedingly weil- contested race Smith ran home the winner by between three and four yards. SAYEBS AND VIVIAN.— These two metropolitans met on Thursday, pursuant to articles, on Mr Sadler's enclosed ground, for a spin of one mile. Sayers is the same pedestrian who ran so well with Barb, in the quarter of a mile handicap, some three weeks since. The present makes the third public match he has run, all of which, if we remember correctly, he has won; so that his friends have a right to entertain confident anticipations as to his future career. His opponent iu the present match is a muscular young man, but certainly his running did not prove him to be the clipper reported. By half- past six o'clock the pedestrians came to the scratch, and the odds of 6 to 4 were freely offered on Sayers. The signal was given and off they went; Vivian took the lead, and made the running at a strong pace, leaving Sayers about three yards in the rear, and in this way they continued to rattle along until about two thirds of the first lap had been accomplished, when Sayers took the lead and ran iu aa easy winner. Bun in 5min 15sec, Sayers, after the first lap, never being compelled to put on the " steam." SNELL AND SMITH.— These aspirants ran an off- handed match of 100 yards, for a small stake, which terminated in Snell being defeated by nearly three yards. DOINGS AT THE SALFORD BOROUGH GARDENS.

COLLINS AND MOKLET,— This contest lay between John Collins of Stocks Moor and Joseph Morley ( alias Chick) of Skel- manthorp, the stakes being £ 25 aside, and the distancel25 yards. Mr Holden was referee, and the betting, which opened at 5 to 4 on Collins, closed at 2 to 1 on him, but there were few takers. Several wagers were also laid at evens that he would win by two yards. After remaining at scratch half an hour, they went away by the report of a pistol. Moriey obtained a slight ad- vantage at start, but wheu they had run a'. out 70 yards, Collins passed him, was not again headed, and won by two j ards and a half. LEE AND BROWN.— Robert Lee of Etruria and Wm. Brown of Stone ( both in the county of Stafford), have signed articles to run 140 yards, for £ 15 a side, at the Salford Borough Gardens, on the 5th October.

Taylor of Holliuwood 52, 2, J. Partington of Middleton 53, 0, J. Pomfrett of Blackburn 40, 0. Betting: 6 to 4 agst Taylor, and 2 to 1 each agst Newton and Partington.

Betting: 6 to 4 agst Buckley, 2 to 1 agst Grimes, 5 to 2 agst Newton, and 4 to; l agst Jervish, A very good start was effected, and at the turn for home Buckley took the lead, but Grimes shortly afterwards passed him ; the race was a capital one, In the straight run Buckley again came up, and Grimes, who then held first position, struck him on the breast. Notwithstanding this unmanly conduct, we are glad to say that Buckley suc- "- eeeded in again passing Grimes, and won the handicap by half a yard. Mr Hayes, in justly and severely censuring Grimes, for his cowardly attack, informed him that he would not allow his grounds to be made the scene of such disgraceful exhibitions, and then disqualified him from receiving the second prize. Thus Newton became entitled to it; Jervish was then placed third, and Coates fourth.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS- AgTOX CEOSB.— These grounds presented on Monday last a filler attendance of the lovers of Pedestrianism than has been se- en for some time past, the attraction being the six score yards mf.., tch, for £ 10 a side, between MOON and ASTON, both of Bir- mingham. Both naeu have ran several well contested matches, and' on the present occasion found plenty of backers; Aston, ho waver, was the favourite at 5 and 6 to 4. The men had actively trail led for the event, and came to scratch in first rate condition. Mr Tailly was appointed referee, and the men, after dodging for the start lor full 30 minutes got away, Moon taking the lead by a v- ard, going awaj[ at a rattling pace, keeping the lead through- Ciut, and running in a winner by two yards, to the evident sur- prise of Aston's friends, who at the paying of the stakes by S. Coates to Moon, appearing not satisfied with the result of the race, at once^ made a fresh match to run again six score yards, for £ 10 a side. £ 1 a side was put. down, and the men meet to- morrow ( Monday) evening at Harrison's, The Wellington, Pritchett- street, between eight aud ten, to draw up articles, or forfeit the amount down.

Each man was in good trim for the event, and at the fifth attempt got off with a level start; Cooper, how- ever, before two score was done, was leading by two yards, and gradually increasing his distance, Plimmer, seeing there was no chance of winning, gave up when within a sliort distance of home.

Mr Fellows took the ball from Mr Fiennes, and from his second over Mr Carpenter was caught at cover point, making 15 in good cricketing style, by one four, two threes, a two, and singles; seven wickets, 121 runs. Mr G. Northey followed, and only added oue to the score, and Mr Fel- lows was then taken off, after bowling but three overs for 4 runs, and 4 wide balls. Mr Biron came, and very simply run himself out; niue wickets, 143 runs. Captain Lambert came as last man, and was bowled the first straight ball, Mr Norton carrying out bis bat for the score of 64, comprising four fours, seveu threes, eight twos, the rest singles, finishing as fine and j steady an innings as could possibly be played. At half- T> ast five, the England gentlemen were represented by Mr Nicholson and the Hon S. Ponsonby. Mr N. was beautifully caught in the slip by Mr Watts; tlie Hon C. Fiennes was bowled by Mr Watts for 5. Mr Fellows run out for a single; Mr Moore could not score, and Mr Ponsonby was finely bowled by Mr Carpenter for 16, obtained by four threes and four singles; five wickets down at the close of the day for the small score of 28. The play was resumed on Friday morning, at twelve o'clock ; betting 5 to 2 on the Counties. Mr Lipscembe and Mr Hartopp opened the ball for England. Mr Lipscombe began with a single for a leg- hit; the next ever in hitting at a square leg ball from Mr Carpenter he gave a chance, which was missed by Captain Lambert. Mr Hartopp was bowled next over; six wickets, 32 runs. Mr Parker drove Mr Carpenter for four, and the next over cut Mr Watts for 4 and 3 ; he afterwards run out with the score of 14: seven wickets for 57. Mr Streatfield was then put on at Mr Watts's end. Mr Lipscombe then made two lite cuts, next ball a good drive from Mr Streatfield for 3, Capt Hartopp, the eighth wicket, doing the defensive ( at the time) very quietly. Mr Norton then took the ball of Mr Streat- field, and bowled a maiden over for the first; Captain Hartopp was caught at point the first ball in the second over; eight wickets, 67 runs. The ninth wicket fell for nil. The Hon F. Pon- sonby being absent, Mr Lipscombe carried out his bat for 21; his figures were three threes, two twos, and eight sin- gles. The innings closed at one o'clock. Kent and Sussex commenced their second innings at a quarter past nine, by sending to the wickets Mr Norton and Mr Northey. Mr Parker handled the leather first, his second ball very • wide, the third Mr Norton cut for 3. Mr Fiennes commenced bowling at the opposite end; the last ball in the over Mr N. made a fine leg- hit to the scorer's tent, for which he obtained 4. Mr Northey drove Mr P. for 4, ditto for 2; Mr Norton a cut from Mr Fiennes for 2, a leg- hit for the same. Mr Northey made a slip- hit, for which he scored 5; Mr Norton a similar hit for 2. The following over Mr N. made a fine cut to the ladies' marquee off Mr Ponsonby, who took the ball at Mr Fiennes's end. Mr Norton made a fine square- leg hit from Mr Ponsonby, and was beautifully caught by the short leg, who was fielding by the umpire; the first wicket for 35 runs, Mr Norton making 16. Mr Carpenter then took the willow, and played the first ball for a single; then a fine leg- hit off Mr Parker for 4, to the carriages. Mr Fiennes again handled the ball at Mr Pon- sonby's end, and succeeded in bowling Mr Northey; two wickets for 56 runs. Mr Northey played a good innings for 32, which comprised a line hit for five, one four, three threes, & c. Mr Carpenter and Mr Andrews were both caught at point; four wickets for 58 runs. Mr Watts commenced with a four, three, and two; and Mr Streatfield began with a single. Mr Watts, after making two more singles, was bowled by Mr Fiennes for 12; five wickets for 76 runs. Mr Curteis then took the bat, and Mr Parker bowled Mr Streatfield the following over ; six wickets, and no alteration in the score. Mr Batlett put his leg before the wicket the first over. Mr Northey followed, and began with a draw for three, a cut for two. Mr Curteis was bowled by Mr Parker. Mr Northey was caught at cover- point, the following over ; nine wickets, 82 runs. Capt Lambert came for the last wicket, and cut Mr Fiennes for three, and was bowled by Mr Parker the first ball in the fellowing over, Mr Biron carrying out his bat, leaving the Gentlemen of England 162 runs to win. At a quarter past four the Gentlemen of England sent to the wickets the Hon S. Ponsonby and Mr Har- topp, to the bowling of Mr Carpenter and Mr Norton. Mr Pon- sonby began by playing singles, when Mr Hartopp was caught at mid- wicket. Mr Jeffrys, who played for the Hon F. Pon- sonby, came as the second wicket, and immediately after Mr S. Ponsonby ran out ; two wickets, 13 runs. Mr Lipscombe followed in the third wicket, and after scoring a two and a few singles, was finely bowled by Mr Norton; three wickets, 19 runs.

Mr Nicholson and Mr Fellows kept the scorers at work. Mr N. made some good leg- hits, drives, & c, a fluke past the long- stop for four, & c, scoring in all 17; five wickets, 51 runs. The Hon Fiennes joined Mr Fel- lows and played well, Mr Fellows playing steadily, making ten singles in succession, and a fine cut off Mr Streatfield for four, who had taken the ball at Mr Norton's end. The telegraph now showed 80, and the betting was 5 to 4 on the Counties. Mr Fel- lows then made a fine cut from Mr Watts for four. After the following over Mr Fiennes run out for 10 ; his figures were two threes, a two, and two singles; six wickets, 86 runs. On Satur- day morning, at a quarter past twelve, play was commenced, and Mr Fellows finished the innings by carrying out his bat for 44, comprised of four fours, four threes, & c.

In the second innings the Beckhampton went in against a score of 24 only to win, and the betting was any amount of odds in their favour; in three overs no run was obtained, and eight wickets fell for 13 runs; the last man was in for 1 run to tie and 2 to win, but in attempting to run the last hit for two there was a short run and a run out, which gave the game to Swindon, Score; Swindon 18 and Beckhamptoa 47 mi KENT v SUSSEX. This match was commenced at Gravesend, ou Monday, August 24th, and caused * reat excitement, in consequence ot the nu- merous ohasges in the game. The weather was ail acrieketer could desire, and the ground as perfect as Adams could mass it. Kent, having won the toss, sent ia Mr Norton aud Adams to the bowling of Dean and Wisden. They commenced merrily, and 33 was announced on the telegraph, when Wisden succeeded Norton. Bennett now came, and with Adams showed some splendid play., and after various changes in the bowling, Ellis caught Adams off Wells, the score being 79. Adams played better than we have seen him for years. His figures were one five, four fours, four threes, three twos, and singles. Clifford filled his place, aud sscured 13 by steady play, ahd Goodhew, after making 2, wa3 caught by Stubosrfield. Fryer then got well in with Bennett, who was at last bowled hy Wisden, he having played another splendid innings of 41. Mr Andrews filled his place, and same fine hitting was exhibited, when he was caught at point by Dean. Fryer was at last caught at the wicket off Stubberfield, aftor having scored 57 m a eas- terly style; the remaining wickets being disposed of, the inning's closed for 227 runs. Sussex then commenced their arduous task, and when the stumps were drawn for the night they . iad got nine ruas for the loss of oue wicket— Tuesday morning found Mr E. Napper and Brown at the wickets, to the bowling of Hollands and Sewell, who did their part so efficiently that no long scores were made, Lillywhite being the only man to take permanent stand • he secured 24 ia his accustomed fine style, but was at last obliged to succumb to that promising young bowler, Sewell; the innings closed far 84, leaving Sussex 143 to get. The sun being exceedingly hot, told a tale on the Hent bowlers, consequently a large score was made that night. Dean andBrown again commenced, and mSewell s fourthover, Hollands made a splendid catch in the slip, wmch caused Brown to retire. Mr E. Napper commenced with a four, when Dean again fell a victim to Mr Norton; the score then stood at 38. Lillywhite joined Mr Napper, aud ran the score up to 76, when tne effects of the slows were maae visible on Mr Napper's wickets. He played a fine innings of 34. Wisden having put five oa paper, retired in favour of Wells, who, with Lillywhite, rauthescoretol55, when he was beautifully caught ia the slip by Adams, off Hollands. Mr Curteis took his place, and when the stumps were drawn for the night the telegraph showed 175, Kent being uncomfortably hot, and tired of leather hunting, blessed their stars that the shades of evening gave them a little rest.- Wednesday morning Mr Curteis in- creased his score to 12, by steady play; and Lilly white, being determined to do or die, still sent the ball to all parts of the field. The remaining wickets being disposed of, Lilly white brought out his bat for 118. His innings was one of the finest ever witnessed, not having given a single chance; his figures were 10 fours, 10 threes, 17 twos, and singles; this fine innings quite revenged him of his double figures ( 0 and 0) at Brighton. The innings closed for 275, leaving Kent 133 to win.- Mr Norton and Adams then led off with a single each from Wisden s first ov^ r, and Mr Norton was bowled by the first ( a very fine ball) from Wells. Bennett came, and, with Adams, ran the score to 59, when the latter fell a victim to the slows; he again played a splendid innings of 38, aud it must have been a source of great pride and delight to him, and gratification to his patrons, to see that, after having played five- aud- twenty years for his county, he was enabled so materially to assist in winning this great annual contest. Clifford was uuluckily caught at the wicket from a bumpy one. Goodhew soon put 14 on paper, when he was caught at point off the slows. Fryer joined Bennett, who was still playing cautiously, and it was generally thought that these two would have pulled off the match. Fryer was at last bowled off his leg byW. Napper, the telegraph showing 125. Fryer again played a splendid innings of 25, including a beauti- ful square leg- hit for 5. Mr Andrews then handled the willow, and soon goUhe required number, his last hit being a fine drive for 4, wl- en only 2 runs were wanted. Bennett brought out his bat for 42, and it was chiefly owing to this player s excellent defence and steady cricket throughout the match, that placed Kent in the proud position of winning by five wickets, without the assistance of Willsher.

SUREEY v NORTH OF ENGLAND. AUG. 24.— This return match was commenced on the beautiful grouad, Brammal- lane, Sheffield, on Monday last. The first event, it will be recollected, came off at the Oval, on July 9, Surrey winning by six wickets. Our announcement last week of this event taking place on the Thursday was a mistake ; it should have been Monday. It will be seen: that the North side came into the field weak— not having the services of either Tinley, Bickley, Diver, or Mr Makinson. The two former were engaged, in a match of Lord Stamford's. Diver, we believe, was not applied to, but . Mr Makinson's absence we could not well account for. The selection of the North side was far from judicious; there is a wicket- keeper— in the person of Mr Lockhart— we hear not to be excelled, and as such a man is wanted in the North side, either he or C. Brown ought to have played. Diver is too good a player all round to be left out, and we are inclined to think that one, or perhaps more, may be well- selected from Bradford. In conse- quence of these omissions, the betting was 5 and 6 to 4 on Surrey. The wickets were very good, and 2,000 spectators attended each day to witness the proceedings. For Surrey Heathfield Stephen- son was unable to have an innings on Monday, in consequence of illness; he, however, sufficiently recovered to get into the field on Tuesday. Mr Burbidge's place was filled by Moody, the former being unable to play, Lawrence was substituted for Mr Lane; this player came from Dublin for the purpose of serving his county. North won the toss, and sent in E. Stephenson and Hunt to the bowling of Caffyn and Griffith. Mortlock threw Hunt out, and Stephenson was bowled by a rattler from Caffyn, who was bowl- ing very straight; his innings of 15 was well played, and com- prised a five ( overthrown), two threes ( one an excellent cut from Caffyn), a two, and singles. The first wicket fell for 1 run; the second for 19, and the third, Berry's, for 26; the fifth, Anderson's, for 45. Parr was caught at short- leg, hitting round at a leg ball, which hit the bottom of the bat; his, the sixth wicket, fell for 46 runs. Anderson quickly deposited 22 upon the score- book, made up by three fours ( two cuts from Griffith, and a leg- hit from Caffyn), two threes ( ene a good drive from Griffith), a two, and singles. Wright badly judged an attempted run. Rowbotham put 10 on paper, making in it a leg- hit from Caffyn for three. The seventh wicket fell for 50 runs, the eighth for 63, the ninth for 64, and the innings terminated at a quarter- past two o'clock, for 73 runs. Betting: 2 to 1 on Surrey, who commenced their innings by sending in Caesar and Lawrence. The latter stopped aud played well for several overs, when he was caught at the wicket. Mortlock made a square leg- hit and a cut for four, and hit on from Grundy; the first wicket fell for 8 and the second for 26 tuns, which number also the third, Caffyu's, fell for. Lockyer joined Caesar, and between them, they increased the score to 63, when the latter was caught at the wicket. He put together 37 iu a most masterly manner, composed of four threes ( of which two were splendid cuts aud a drive), five twos, and singles. Mr Miller was caught in slip, off a good- un from Jackson, and Griffith was caught cover slip; five wickets for 64 ana six for 65 runs. Moody made a stand until his partner somewhat deceived him, and he run out; he played an excellent innings of 13, comprising a four ( a splendid leg - hit from Jackson), two threes ( one a fine square leg- hit from Grundy). Stephenson being too unwell to play, Martingell had, therefore, to bring out his bat, with an unfinished innings, which amounted to 93, being exactly 20 in majority of their opponents. The bowling of Jackson and Grundy was very good. Bell started, but was wide. Hunt missed several at the wicket, but altogether the fielding was good. The North in their second innings, which was com- menced shortly before half- past six o'clock— the time for drawing stumps— only scored 63, ten less than their first innings ; Row- botham and E. Stephenson being the only two who could ac- complish a double figure. The bowling of Griffith and Caffyn was splendid, as was also the fielding of every one. Several fine hits were made, but the fields prevented there being any runs made from them. A vast number of maiden overs were also bowled. Parr was caught at point, as well as Anderson. This small innings only left Surrey 44 to get to win, which task, however, cost five wickets, the bowling of Grundy being quite first- rate. Jackson also was on the spot. Lawrence played an excellent innings of 20, made up by a four ( square leg- hit from Jackson), four threes ( all leg- hits), a two, & c. Caffyn was in some time for five, and many were the pounds laid— backing Parr v Caffyn in the first and second innings as well as the match. The first event was a tie— both getting " round- uns." The second event of course brought off both by two runs only. Griffith, in his score of 12, made an off drive from Jackson for fire, as well as a cut from Grundy for three; he finished the match by hitting Grundy a " skyer " to the leg, for which they ran four. Surrey were thus declared the winners by five wickts, thus winning all their county matches in 1857. Score: NORTH. 1st inn 2d inn Hunt, run out 0 runout 7 E.

CRICKET AT BUENLBY.— The following match took place at Burnley on Tuesday last, viz; Keighley Club and Burn- ley, on the ground of the latter. It being the return game caused a good deal of speculation, as the Yorkshiremen were successful in the first match on their own midden. Many fan- cied a different result iu this one, in which opinion they were right, as the Burnley Club came off conquerors with, however, not much to spare, it being only a one day s play, and decided by the first innings, viz, Keighly first innings 65, Burnley 75. Burnley again took the bat, and when closing time arrived they had scored 111 ( with eight wickets down). CBICKET AT EAST MOULSEY.— During the stay of the Lord Mayor's barge at Moulsey, from Saturday to Monday, a match at cricket was made to come off on Friday, Sept 11, between the fishermen and watermen of Moulsey and the Lord Mayors' and London watermen, now plying there, the wickets to be pitched at eleven o'clock.

ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v TWENTY- TWO OF GRANTHAM AND DISTRICT ( INCLUDING TWO GIVEN BOWLERS). On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the above- named market- town iu Lincolnshire was visited by the All England Eleven for the first time. The interest manifested was intense, not less than 10,000 people visiting the cricket-, around during the three days. Of the arrangements we can speak with the highest praise, aud the wickets were perfection itself. About twelve o'clock on Thursday, when " play " was called, Grantham won the choice of inniugs and took the hat first. It soon became evident that a large score would be the result of this innings, which amounted to 122. Mr W. Sills scored a good 16, and Mr Daft a capital 31, by four threes, four twos, and singles. Mr H. Beaumont scored 12, including two drives of four each off G. Parr. The Eleven commenced with E. Stepheuson and Fryer. The latter made two twos and three singles, aud was caught. Anderson scored 13, eleven of which were singles. H. Stephenson commenced his flue innings on Friday morning, and the two Stephensons made the score up to 134 before they were parted, H. Stephenson being the first to retire, with 69 attached to his name; and the loud applause be received was well deserved. E. Stephenson was run out for a very fine innings of 36, by seven twos and the rest singles. . G. Parr commenced with a single, and soon after made a splendid leg- hit out of the ground; a shooter from Hinkly caused him to retire with 19 to his name. Cajsar was beautifully caught by S. Dyer in long field for 4 ; Mr Stacey was unfortunately run out for 6. Diver was ( not out) 14, by oue four, one three, one two, and five singles. Clarke was well caught by Mr Daft. Jackson made a four, two twos, and was bowled; the innings amounted to 195, heading their oppo- nents 73 runs. Hinkly bowled first- rate throughout this in- nings. The second innings of the Twenty- two amounted to 113, of which Mr Daft, by overs, made a good score; Mr Brett a capital 12, Mr Hunt a long stand for 14. The Eleven had, at four o'clock on Saturday, 40 runs to make to win, which they accom- plished. with eight wickets to go down, Tryer making 18 of them. Victory was thus declared for the Eleven. The match went off with great eclat, and we understand is to be an annual affair. Score: GRANTHAM. Beaumont, c Anderson, b Gibson .. G. Bell, st H. Stephenson, b Parr.. Brett, leg b w, b H.

AUG 20.— This match, which was won by the larger num- ber last year, was begun at Rugate on Thursday week, aud brought to a conclusion on the Saturday. The Sixteen, it will be seen, comprised some excellent names, aud at starting they were pretty confident of success. The wickets were not got into good order, one of them being very bad. The United won the toss, and shortly after twelve o'clock commenced their innings, which was finished at ten minutes to three o'clock, John Lillywhite Lockyer, and Mr Miller being the only members that made a stay. Caffyn had got the " bumpy " wicket, to which his name in the bowlers' list will somewhat testifv. Lillywhite made seven threes, five of them off Martingell, and one off Hently. The Sixteen, with the exception of one man, were got out that evening, Wisden dropping tha ball on the same spot where Caffyn had been performing. Mr Page, notwithstanding, played an admirable innings of twenty— a feat quite en- titling him to a place in the county eleven. His figures were a four, five twos, & c. Mr Humphrey also ex- hibited some good cricket, scoring two thres, two twos, and sin- gles, to the ameunt of 13. Mr M'Niven did not get on the ground until Friday morning, just in time to get an innings, which, howeveg, did not last long, he being caught in the slip the first ball. A long discussion at this time took place with regard to the removal of the wickets. The Eleven had no objec- tion, but. a division took place in the Sixteen, which was at last settled by votes, and they remained in the same place. Wright and Mortlock then began, and made an excellent stand, scoring 22 before they were parted. Wright was missed easily, at long- leg, before he had scored. Mortlock, who has been very un- lucky this season, played an excellent innings of 13. The wickets fell now very fast, until Wisden got in with Lillywhite. The second wicket ( Bell) went for 22, the third ( Mr Miller) for 24, the fourth ( Mortlock) for 27, and the fifth ( Lockyer) for 28. Wisden, with Lillywhite, ran it up to 52, when Caffys got one on the spot; he made four threes ( two leg- hits, a cut, and a drive), Grundy made an excellent 10, composed of tws threes ( drive and a cut), a two, & c. His, the seventh wicket, fell for 71, and the eighth ( Griffith's) for 75. Goodhew stopped with Lillywhite and increased the score to 111; he played well for fourteen, made by ten threes ( leg- hits), a two, and singles. Dean, the last man, then joined Lillywhite. While these two were together, Lillywhite made an extraordinary on- hit out of the ground, which called down great applause, his figures were two fours ( drive and a leg- hit), niue threes ( al- lowed leg- hits and drives), three twos, aud singles. The Sixteen had uow a task of 144 to get, and when time was called, half- past six o'clock, thirteen had been disposed.. of for 38 runs, Wisden again doing the mischief. Caffyn played well for 11, composed of two threes, a two, & c. Mr Nichols on Saturday morning scored the four that was made, making a good drive off Griffith for three. The match, therefore, terminated in favour of the United by 102 runs. The accommodation on the ground was first- rate, and the luncheon and articles supplied by Mr An- drews, of the Grapes, of the best description. Score: ENGLAND. 1st inn 2d inn J.

On Monday Lord's Ground presented ail appearance of a regular fete, the spectators being numerous, including a large portioa of the fair sex. Mr Dark engaged two bands for the occasion, and tea and other refreshments for the ladies were pro- vided ia the pavilion. As this cricket fete was got up for the laudable purpose of aiding the funds of the charitable institu- tions of the Licensed Victuallers and Butchers, we trust the receipts will prove satisfactory.

MARSEILLES, AUG 28.— Private commercial letters state that Calcutta suffered extremely from scarcity. Provisions were be- ginning to arrive by the rivers, but at exorbitant prices. The harvest was in imminent danger of being destroyed. The princi- pal manufactures for the use of the towns were" abandoned, and the materials required for the culture of the land had ceased to be supplied. It is also said that commerce will suffer for a long time to come. The exports amount to scarcely anything, even from Bombay. At Madras the Four per Cents had fallen 20 per ceRt. Some discontents had shown themselves round Bombay, but had been suppressed. The Regiment of Guzerat had been threatened with decimation. Moveable columns are to scour the provinces of Central India. The English were organising regiments of Sikhs. PE0H0GATI0N OF PARLIAMENT. THE DIVORCE BILL.— After the royal assent had been given by commission to this billon Friday, the LOBD CHAHCELLOB read the Queen's Speech, which was as follows " MY LOBDS AND GENTLEMEN : " We are commanded by her Majesty to release you from further attendance in Parliament, and at the same time to ex- press to you her Majesty's cordial acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with which you have performed your important duties during a session which, though shorter than usual, has, nevertheless, been unusually laborious. " Her Majesty commands us to express to you her satisfaction that the present state of affairs in Europe inspires a well- grounded confidence in the continuance of peace. " The arrangements connected with the full execution of the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris have, from various causes, not yet been completed; but her Majesty trusts that, by the earnest efforts of the contracting parties to that treaty, all that remains to be done with reference to its stipulations may ere long be satisfactory settled. *' Her Majesty commands us to inform you that the extensive mutinies which have broken out among the native troops of the army of Bengal, followed by serious disturbances in many parts of that Presidency, have occasioned to her Majesty extreme con- cern ; and the barbarities which have been inflicted upon many of her Majesty's subjects in India, and the sufferings which have been endured, have filled her Majesty's heart with the deepest grief; while the conduct of many civil and military officers who have been placed in circumstances of much diffi- culty, and have been exposed to great danger, has excited her Majesty's warmest admiration. " Her Majesty commands us to inform you that she will omit no measure calculated to quell these grave disorders ; aud her Majesty is confident that, with the blessing of Providence, the powerful means at her disposal will enable her to accomplish that end. "• GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS : " Her Majesty commands us to thank you for the liberal sup- plies which you have voted for the service of the present year ; and for the assurances which you have given her of your readi- ness to afford her Majesty whatever support may be necessary for the restoration of tranquillity in India. " Her Majesty has been gratified to find that you have been enabled to provide the amount required to be paid to Denmark for the redemption of the Sound Dues, without on that account adding to the national debt. ' MY LOBDS AND GENTLEMEN : ' Her Majesty commands us to convey to you her heartfelt acknowledgments for the provision which you have made for her beloved daughter the Priucess Royal on her approaching mar- riage with his Royal Highness Prince Frederick William of Prussia. " Her Majesty commands us to inform you that she has seen with satisfaction that, although the pr sent session has been short, you have been abie to pass many aets of great importance, and to which her Majesty has given her cordial assent. " The acts for esteblishing a more efficient jurisdiction for the proving of the wills in England and Ireland, correct defects which have for many years been complained of. " The act for amending the law relating to Divorce and to Matrimonial Causes will remedy evils which have long been felt. " The several acts for the punishment of Fraudulent Breaches of Trust; " For amending the law relating to secondary punishments; " For amending the law concerning joint stock banks ; " For consolidating and amending the law relating to bank- ruptcy and insolvency in Ireland; " For the better care and treatment of pauper lunatics in Scotland; " For improving the organisation of the county police in Scotland; " Together with other acts of less importance, but likewise tending to the progressive improvement of the law, have met with her Majesty's ready assent. " We are commanded by her Majesty to express to you her confidence that on your return to your several counties you will employ that influence which so justly belongs to you to promote the welfare and happiness of her loyal and faithful people ; and she prays that the blessing of Almighty God may attend and prosper your endeavours." The LOBD CHANCELLOB then in the usual manner declared the Parliament prorogued to Friday, the 6th November. F. Bell, c Horner, b Hinkly 10 J. Grundy, c A.

LILLYWHITE'S COLLECTION OF SCOBES FBOM 1746, IN PBE: PABATION.— The compiler of this projected work would fee1 particularly obliged if secretaries of clubs or other gentlemen would communicate with him, in order to assist in obtaining information relating to the game, such as the " alteration of the ; laws, and size of stumps, from time to time," & c, & e. The loan of score- books, or notices of any remarkable events that have occurred in the game, will also be thaukfully received and imme-! diately acknowledged.

On Friday the court left by the Great Northern Railway en route for Balmoral. THE NEW PEEBS.— The new title of the Marquis of Lans downe is to be Duke of Kerry. He will be the first duke that has been created by her Majesty. The Earl of Fife is to be made an English peer, and Lord Robert Grosvenor to be promoted to an English barony. SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO MB JAMES PLATT, M. P.— Mr James Platt, M. P. for Oldham, and a member of the firm of John Platt and Co, machine makers, at Oldham, met with an accident on Thursday afternoon, on Saddleworth Moors, near Bills- o'- Jacks, where he had accompanied a shooting party, by which one of his legs was wounded, and which unfortunately proved fatal. FIBB AT BLACKWALL.— On Friday a fire broke out at the manufactory of Messrs Duncan, Dunbar, and Son, ship owners, Orchard- street, Blackwall. The property covered a large area of ground 011 the banks of the Bow Creek, comprising a long range of lofts and sheds, boat houses, sail and rigging stores, spar sheds, and other erections. They were almost all filled with stores. The fire was not extinguished until the whole of the premises were destroyed. FIBE AT EGHAM.— On Thursday a fire broke out in a stable at Mr Sherley's, the Catherine Wheel, at Egham. Sit was caused by the carelessness of a lad who was smoking while looking after a race horse. Mr Sherley, on discovering the fire, aroused a number of lads on the premises, and by great exertions and cool courage, the flames were confined to the stable and two bedrooms adjoining. We are glad to hear that Mr Sherley has had a house full of guests during the race week. MUBDEB, AND SUICIDE OF THE MUBDEBER.— TWO shocking events have just happened at Dudley. On Friday, an Irishman named Michael Hickey, was committed to gaol on a charge of the mnrder of another irishmon, named Higgins. On that day the two had quarrelled in the street, and Hickey had run into a butcher's shop, and snatching up a sharp knife, plunged it into the stomach of his companion, causing his death. Hickey was locked up in a cell alone, where he remained until Monday, when on the officer going his rounds, he found his prisoner leaning against the wali, in an apparently helpless state. On entering he found the man had hung himself from the bar of his cell win- dow by his handkerchief. He was immediately cut down, but had evidently been dead for more than an hour. The act ap- pears to have been committed with some determination. He chalked the following ( supposed to be addressed to his wife) on the cell door:—" If you do what I told you I would not lose my life. May the Lord have mercy on the soul I have taken through drunkenness, and the Lord have mercy on mine. Go to your child and go to my sister. Do the best you can for your children. I forgive, and God [ forgive you." The inquest ou the body of Higgins had terminated, in a verdict of Manslaughter against Hickey. CAUTION AS TO THE USE OF FIEE- ABMS.— AS the shooting season commences on Tuesday next, we feel that we are only doing a kindness to our readers in recommending to their notice the pamphlet published by Mr Bishop, of Bond- street, contain- ing many valuable hints as to the use of fire- arms. Mr Bishop's timely warnings have already had a good effect in preventing serious accidents, and they cannot be too widely disseminated. The pamphlet may be obtained, gratis, on application at 170, Old Bond- street. Reduced Annuities, 90i I Consols, OOi New 3 per Cents. 90£ | Long Annuities, * 2 7- lt$ i CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. Thereisnowaniacreasied demand for discount accommoda- tion, in consequence of the settlements on the Stock Exchange, and the preparations for the « fourth" 0f the month. The supply of capital, howev(; r> is stm abundant> aud flrst. class Mls are negotiated at a fracti011 below theBank rate. The additional advices from Iudia havebeen perused with illtense iaterestj and they appear to have excited an unfavourable impression. Sales of S tack have consequently been pressed, and during the week the decline in the Funds has been J percent. The favourable harvest prospects and the influx of upwards of half a million sterling in the Bank vaults, have tended to check the downward movement, but the approach of settling day has induced many of those who speculated for a rise to close their accounts. The Bank of England return, completed to the 22d iust, exhibits the following results:— The bullion was smaller by £ 29,775, the total being now £ 11,230,131; the notes unemployed were larger bv £ 14* 8,145 and the other securities were lessened £ 850,113, the present total being £ 17,353,385. The other deposits showed a de- crease of £ 921,026, and the active circulation was smaller upon balanoe £ 184,420, the amount bsing £ 19,208,605. These changes are generally pretty favourable, but in the pre sent position of; the Cousol Market they are not likely to in- fluence quotations. Consols closedj yesterday afternoon at 90 to 90i for money, and at 90| to 90I lor the account. The New 3 per Cents and the Reduced have also tended downwards. Ex- chequer Bills have been rather firmer and the Bonds stead.

The variations, however, have beeu unimportant. During the latter part of the week the business in the Consol Market also tended to weaken prices. SpanlshThMS per Ceilts have declined about t, Brazilian improved i. Russian Four- and- a- Half per Cents declined J. Turkish Six per Cents im- proved about i, and the Four per Cents were steady.

The business transacted in the Railway Share Market during the past week has not been very large, many of the speculators having been occupied with the usual arrangements for the settle- ment of the Account. The charge for " carrying over," how- ever, has been moderate, and the advance in the value of most of the leading lines has been about 1 to 11 per cent.

The performances announced are to extend over some dozen nights. The opening performance con- sisted of Verdi's " La Traviata," Mario being the Alfredo, the music of which he delivered with the same suavity and elegance which have before been commented on in his performance of the part at the Lyceum Opera. The great tenor, however, was suffering somewhat from a cold, but his admirable Vocalisation enables him to triumph over what would be fatal to an inferior artist. Madame Gassier, as Violetta, was, perhaps, one of the best substitutes that could have been found for Piccolomini and Bosio in a character iu which those artists have so eminently succeeded during the past season. It was 110 slight task to have to contend against such antecedents, and the success of Madame Gassier under such circumstances is another laurel gained by that clever vocalist. Her singing of the scena, " Ah ! fors' 6 lui che l'anima," was a most expressive piece of vocal declamation; while her de- livery of the air, " Sempre libera degg' io," effectively displayed her voluble and brilliant executive powers. The new baritone, Signor Dragone, who appeared for the first time here as Germont, was, we believe, the original representative of the part abroad. He has a good and tolerably flexible organ— his intonation is ex- cellent, and his powers of acting are apparently above the average. The performances are under the alternate conductor- ship of Signori Schira and Stanzieri, and the general arrange- ments are as satisfactory as could be hoped at this period of dis persion araong musical artistes. HIGHWAY ROBBEBY NEAB THE STBAND.— At Bow Street, on Wednesday, William Weaver was brought up on remand upon a charge of highway robbery with violence. The prosecutor was a lad Earned Benjamin Blakesley, the son of Mr Blakesley, builder and packing- case maker, 17, Old Change. On the 18th instant, in passing through StClement's- churchyard, about nine o'clock at night, he met the prisoner, who entered into conversa- tion with him, and induced him to go down Milford lane, promising to " show him something." In the lane a man who seemed to be the worse for liquor ran against the prisoner, wbt went after him saying ho would strike him. The prosecutor alscC followed till he got into Water- lane, when the pretended drunken man turned round, and with oue tremendous blow in the face felled him to the ground, the blood flowing profusely from his nose and mouth. The prisoner then held him down while the other began to search him. Fearing that they would do him more serious injury, he offered to give up his watch if they would let him go, and drawing it from his pocket dropped it on the ground. It was picked up by the other man. The prisoner said, " Have you got it?" The other replied that he had, and they ran off together. He pursued them, crying " Stop thief," till the prisoner was stopped at the foot of the steps near Essex Pier, by Mr Collins, the pier master. The other man escaped. Prisoner denied taking part in the robbery, and said he was iu pursuit of the thief.— Mr Henry committed him for trial. THE BBOADSTONE TRAGEDY.— COMMITTAL OF SPOLLEN FOB ROBBEBY.— James Spolleu has been again arrested, sufficient evidence being forthcoming to justify his committal for the robbery of the Midland Great Western Railway Company, on the night of Mr Little's murder. The hero of the Broadstoue tragedy was greatly disconcerted at finding himself again in durance. He was taken at once in a car to Green- street station- house, where he was duly charged by Inspector Ryan. The charge having been read to him, he was locked up in one of the cells of the station- house. It appears that Spollen was in possession of £ 10 on being released from custody. This money consisted of the eight sovereigns which were rolled up in wad- ding in his drawer at his cottage at the Broadstone terminus, and £ 2, the balance of wages due to him by the railway com- pany, which he was paid after his acquittal. Spollen, when told the purpose for which he was taken into custody, replied, after consideration, " It cannot be helped, but I know nothing of it." The son remarked, •' I suppose this will be another three months' job," to which Spollen answered, " We must only bear it with patience." The fellow has been committed for trial. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GBEAT NOBTHEBN RAILWAY.— On Saturday week an inquest was commenced at the Railway Tavern, Colney Hatch, on the body of Mr George Cox, aged 62, a bookseller, carrving on business at No. 27, Bedford- street, Co- vent- garden, aucl superintendent of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, who met with his death at the Colney Hatch station of the Great Northern Railway, on . Thursday evening week. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased left the King's- cross station in the 7: 50 train, which arrived at Colney Hatch at about a quarter past 8 o'clock. On reaching the station the train passed to the extent of several carriages beyond the usual resting point, seven or eight carriages having passed the platform altogether. Several of the passengers then alighted upon the platform, one of whom, a Mr Wilson, a solicitor, re- siding at Southgate, saw the deceased open the door of the car- riage and coming out. As it appeared evident that the train must back in consequence of having gone so far, he called out to the deceased not to get out. He had, however, taken a second step, and the train being then in motion, he lost his footing and fell between the platform and carriages, and disappeared. The train was immediately stopped and the unfortunate gentleman was taken up, but death must have been instantaneous, the head being literally crushed. The evidence as to whether the train had really stopped before it was reversed was conflicting, one of the witnesses stating that among others a lady had alighted from the carriage in which he was seated, and had several parcels handed to her from the carriage while the train stopped. It was also stated by various passengers that they did not hear the whistle souuded or receive any warning that the train would be backed, although it was admitted that the whistle might have been sounded without their hearing or noticing it. The inquest was adjourned until Thursday, when the jury found a. verdict of Accidental Death, accompanied by an addendum, expressive of dissatisfaction with the insufficiency of the arrangements of the Great Northern Railway Company for passengers at the Colney Hatch station. THE TBAFFIC ON THE CLYDE STOPPED.— GLASGOW, SUNDAY. — An obstruction has just occurred here, which has created a degree of excitement, alarm, aud inconvenience, such as has rarely been paralleled in our local aunals. On Friday afternoon the great screw steamer Australasian left the Broomielaw for Southampton, thence to take her maiden trip in the service of the European and Australian Company, for which she has just been built. She proceeded to Govan, about two miles down, and grounded. She floated by the night tide, and moved down two or three miles farther, but again grounded about a mile above Renfrew ferry. In the efforts made by the tugs to get her off the Australasian swung right across the river, and, as the tide was receding, she was left firmly fixed in this position. As this happens to be the narrowest point in the course of the navi- gation between Glasgow and Greenock, the ship occupied the\ whole channel of the river, and put a stop to the entire traffic. In the morning the wharfs were, as usual, crowded with intend- ing passengers, including several thousands of both sexes, who had, as is frequently the case at this season, hired steamers for pleasure trips, but not a single keel could get either up or down, for the same inconvenience was felt below as above. At the afternoon's tide a most earnest effort was made to get the ship off, but she remained fast, aud as the height of the tide was uow decreasing, serious fears began to be entertained that the traffio of the river might be shut up till next springs, a fortnight hence, and that the ship herself might be destroyed on the event of a serious fresh setting in, as she lay broadside on to the full sweep of the river. The only hope of removing her lay with the night tide of this morning, and meanwhile everything was done that could be done to lighten her by removing stores and ballast, and striking the masts. At half- past three this morning the ship moved, to the great joy of all. She was gradually swung round, and got down about four miles to Dalmuir, when she again grounded ; but here the channel of the Clyde is quite wide, and no inconvenience can result except to the Australasian herself. The inhabitants of Glasgow were rescued from gloom to thank- fulness when they learned this forenoon that the Clyde was again open. One cause of the accident was, that the tides have been much reduced in volume by the prevalence of easterly winds. It so happens that the Clyde trustees obtained au act in the session about to close for deepening and widening the river at the very point where this fine ship grounded. FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION.— On Saturday evening week a dreadful accident occurred on the West Somerset Mineral Railway at Watchet, by which several men were killed and a number friehtfully crushed and mutilated. The line ( a single one) was constructed for the purpose of bringing the iron ore from the mines at Brendon Hill, and it is the practice for the workmen to run down upon the engine on Saturdays to receive their wages. On this occasion the engine employed at the Roadwater portion of the railway brought down the workmen, and by some unaccountable blunder the Watchet engine was sent to fetch them. The consequence of this was that the two engines, tra- versing the same line of rail, came into collision about a mile from Watchet. One man was killed on the spot, and two others died in a few minutes after their removal, while six or seven others had their arms and legs broken. The deceased are— W. James ( engineer), George Williams, and Giles, the keeper of the crossing on the line at Washff, rd. The shock was too much for the wife of poor Giles, who suddenly expired on hearing the sad intelligence.
