H., and it has heard with still more regret the report of a speech made byMrFar- quharson at a sale of Mr Harding's sheep at Waterson, on August 5th, 1S57, before Mr Farquharson had in reply to a letter of Mr Digby's to him, dated July 26th, 1857, explained his intention to give up his hounds." 2. Proposed by Mr M. S. Yeatman, seconded by Mr Matthews—" That the letter of Mr Digby, dated July 29th, 1857, requesting Mr Farquharson not to draw certain coverts on his property, but offering to do all in his power to promote his sport on other parts of his estate, shows his anxious wish to maintain and improve the sport of fox hunting generally, and not to injure the sport of Mr Farquharson.

LONDON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27. THE PURCHASE SYSTEM IN THE ARMY. It is uot an unwise rule of belief that anything artificial is in fected during the whole course of its existence with the taint of a bad origin. Of course there are exceptions, but they only prove the rule, the truth of which no man of experienoo can doubt. Apply this rule to the purchasing system in the armyt That system was the invention of Charles II., aud was one of the means by which he filled his purse, the contents of which were expended, as they had been acquired, in the most profligate cor" ruption. In considering the system as it now exists, the fact Of its origin ought not to be lost sight of. Not that we mean to suggest that the money is raised or spent in the same manner in the reign of Victoria as it was in the reign of Charles II. Far from it. But the origin of the system is a conclusive answer to the supposition, applied in argument to all existing systems, that it was created for some good reason, which must be proved to have become entirely inapplicable before cautious men can consent to its abolition. This system was created for no good reason, and has nothing therefore in its origin to demand respect. This leaves us fre9 to consider its practical effects without reference to any notice that its original object was the improvement of the condition of the army. Of late years the defence ot the system has been that it secured for tha army a body of gentleman, at ail events well brought up and well mannered, if not well taught. The Earl of Cardigan's black bottle affair. Lord Vane's misconduct, and otht r incidents of a similar kind have shown that " the system" did not secure any such result, and that if the officers of the army were, as they generally are, men of polished manners, that fact was owing not to the merits of" the system" but to those of the individuals. This supposed recommendation of the system being thus re- moved out of the argument, the next question to be considered i-, what are its other attendant results. The first of these is, and nec? ssarily is, that there is no stimulus ottered to the young officer to study either the sciences in general, or tha military science in particular. Knowledge or capacity is not in facta certain recommendation to promotion. It ought to be so, but it is uot. The young officer who has neither money nor powerful connections may just as well waste his time in tha enjoyments of his age and his class, as employ it iuthe acquirement of useful knowledge. Study is by most young men deemed a labour. Who undertakes labour without the hops of reward P Hardly aay one. The purchase system offers no hope of reward for labour, and therefore no incentive to undertake it. N& y more : FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Emperors of France and Russia arrived at Stuttgardt on the 24th, and the interview betweeu the two sovereigns was to take place on the following day.

Official intelligence has been received of the acceptance by the Mexican Government of the proffered mediation of England and France in the quarrel between Mexico and Spain. The conference for the settlement of this matter is to be held in London, THE INDIAN MUTINIES. ABUTTAL OP SUFFEBEES FEOM THE INDIAN MUTINIES.— The Golombo arrived at Southampton on Thursday, with the heavy portion of the Indian Mail and a number of refugees. The deck of the Colombo, on her arrival at her anchorage, pre- sented an affecting spectacle. Over the side of the ship might be seen many anxious and care- worn faces, marked with traces of suffering and distress, gazing with tearful eyes on the shores of England. Numbers of them had left their native land with bright prospects and iu affluent circumstances, and had now re- turned bereft o' friends aud kindred, suffering under the. painful remembrance of the atrocities they had witnessed and escaped, and almost penniless. Many of the ladies on board were dressed in a style which ill became their station; but there was an air of cheerfulness aad resignation, of calm dignity and gentle bearing, which showed itself in spite of the plain garbs which had been furnished them through the kindness of the English mercSiants and residents at Calcutta, w'ao lodged aud provided them with food and clothing, gave them money to supply their immediate need, and accompanied them on board the steam ship which conveyed them to Suez. Many and oft were the expressions of thanks bestowed by the passengers of the Colombo in honour of the English resident* of Calcutta. There were 56 children on board the Colombo, many of whom return orphans. Their innocent prattle and playful gestures contrasted strangely with the gloom of tha matrons and the dark countenances of sevtral native servants who were tendiug them. Among the passengers was Mrs Perry, who went out in the Colombo ( having been married but a month previously) to join her husband. She was directed, on her arrival at Suez, to return home again, her husband having left with his regiment to join the army in Bengal. Attention was by showing the young officer that the man" of " the most i directed to a lady and four children, who had narrowly escaped careful application may not only be unrewarded, but may be j from Delhi, and had suffered great privations. She did not triumphantly passed over by those who have never shown any | know whether or not her husband hsd escaped the massacre; studicusness, nor manifested any capacity at ail. it actually dis- ' and should he be alive the same feeling of agony and suspense courages study and prevents improvement.

We hear that large supplies ot troops are coming to our aid. I hope the British Government will bear in mind the necessity of keeping up a continued flow of fresh regiments for some time to come, so as to supply the deficiency which sickness will create. It is not the mere sending of 50,000 men that will do in this presidency alone, unless that number is steadily kept up by an infusion of healthy men sent out for some years to come, to supply the place of invalids sent home and in the sick hospital. This, believe me, is a most trying climate for Europeans. I will ( D. V.) write by next mail." ADVENTUEES OF FRENCH LAY IN C.

THE LATE SIE CHABLES SHAKEELEY,* BAEI.— Sir Charles Peter Shakerley, Bart, who died at Somerford Park, near Con- gleton, Cheshire, en Monday, i: i his 65th year, was by maternal descent the head representative of an ancient family settled in that county so far back as the reign of Henry III. The last heir male of the Shakerleys left a daughter, who married, in 1T64, Charles Buckworth, Esq, of Park- pl » ce, Eerks, who assumed m 1790, by act of Parliament, the name and arms of Shakerl6y alone.

Sir F. Peacook. Bart, who was on a visit with Captain Houston, of Doolough Lodge, county Mayo, went out to shoot grouse. Having sprung a bird he fired one barrel, and then commenced reloading it, when that which was still charged exploded, driving the ramrod through his hand, carrying away a grreat portion of the palm and three fingers, leaving only the thumb and small finger remaining. We quote the following as apropos to this accident from Mr Bishop's " Caution as to the use of fire arms:"—" Another sause of acci- dents with guns arises from the heedless manner with which some sportsmen neglect attending to the position of the gun in loading, having it pointing at their heads, instead of invariably keeeping the stock outside the le't foot, when the gun, pressing against the leg, will not point in the direction of tho head or any part of the person. In loading, turn the gun a little to the right to load the right barrel; your hand will not then be in danger of the left one; accidents have occurred from the heed- less manner in which sportsmen have returned their ramrods after loading, by placing their hand over the muzzle of the gun, which would have been entirely avoided simply by adjusting the rod in the pipe, and sending it home with the fore- finger of tbe security; for the party, being well armed, is strong enough defend against the insurgents the defile leading to their asylum? The flight from Sealkote was marked by most dramatic incidents. The eveniDg before the rising some of the natives, through gratitude for the attention and kindness which the sisters had always shown to their childien, came secretly to inform them they would do well to leave the place as promptly as pos- sible with their pupils, as the insuriection was to commence the next morning at break of day, and the insurgents had resolved to kill every European. The sisters at once procured cars, and loaded tben^ with their property and their youngest pupils, whose weakness would have retarded their precipitate flight. Then, profiting by the shades of night, they lefc the town for a fort some leagues distant, where they hoped to find refuge. Unfortunately, whether it was that the warning given them was too late, or that the fugitives had not hurried on with sufficient rapidity, or that the natives had advanced the moment of the insurrection, the sisters were overtaken, when about half way, by a troop of the insurgents, who, on fiHding their convent right and the thumb of the left hand. Look at the gun, but abandoned, had pursued them. The poor sisters, on seeing this never let the gun look at you nor any body else, is my goldeu ' horde of miscreants approaching, abandoned their cars and bag- ruie; and I can assure all sportsmen that safety- guards are of gage in the middle of the road to be pillaged, and hurried away but little use when carelessness is predominant." , to take refuge in an isolated house which stood near.

Tryon then proceeded alone on his perilous errand, and bstween eleven and twelve o'clock found himself in the very heart of Griffintown. He soon saw two men standing talking at the corner of a street; one of them had a bundle on his arm, and his hair was clipped close, and, by a strange coincidence, they were talking of leaving for the States.

DEATH OF A CHABACTEB.— A woman, named Martha Heath aged 83, living at 16, Sandford- street, was found drowned in the River Cheit, near Barrett's Mill, at an early hour on Wednes- day morning. Police- constables Lewis and Wilkins were shortly afterwards on the spot, and, life being extinct, the body was removed to the stables of the Swan Inn, High- street, where an inquest was held, and the jury, after hearing evidence to show that deceased had thrown herself inU the water, returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity.

On that occasion Probert saved himself from the gallows by turning King's evi- dence, but was sometime afterwards convicted of horse- stealing, and, the crime at that time being a capital offence, he suffered the same fate as his former accomplices.

The shaft is being sunk near to Phillip's Park, Bradford- road, Manchester, by Messrs Livsey and Co, of Oldham, coal mer- chants. One of Messrs Livsey and Go's workmen, named Jesse Beeston, was near the shaft when the accident happened. On hearing the noise msde by the falling mass, he at once rushed to the mouth and called aloud to the men below, but he received no token that any one of them was alive. After alarming the neighbourhood, lie went to MrLivsey's, at Oldham, and that gentleman arrived at the pit about two a. m. He immediately set some men to work to get at the bodies ; but it was believed that, owing to the immense fall of brickwork, & c, and to the vast quantity of water in the shaft that would have to be removed, they would not be recovered before Thursday or Friday at the very earliest. The melancholy accident, it is supposed, has been oc- casioned by the iron drum at the bottom of the shaft giving way. The names of those killed aro as follows :— Heury Apple ton, Henry Seddon, James Blair, and John Clayburn. Two of the poor fellows are unmarried, but the other two have each left a wife and family to lament their untimely death; one leaves three children and a wife enceinte, the other one child. MUBDEB BY AN ITALIAN SEAMAN IN RATCLIFF- HIGHVTAY. — On Wednesday Mr W. Baker held an inquest at the oourt- l ouse, Wellclose- square, on the body of George de Matras, a Gre^ k sailor, aged 34, who was stabbed by an Italian seaman, nsmsd Jose de Rosario, in Neptune- street, Rat cliff- high way. The inquiry lasted several hours, and the evidence confirmed what has been published of the tragical affair. The deceased is described to have been a peaceable kind of man, and, being well known amongst bis countrymen, he had opened a lodging- house at 200, St George's- street, in the neighbourhood of the murder. Rosarie was paid off from an American ship, which arrived in the London Docks some four or five days since. On Sunday morning he was having words with a prostitute, whom he struck. The deceased, who was passing at the time, remonstrated with him on ill- using the girl, when the fellow took from liis pocket a large stiletto kind of knife, and plunged it into the unfortunate man. Altogether he received seven fearful stabs, one of which penetrated the heart, and caused speedy death. The jury re- turned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Rosario, who was committed on the coroner's warrant to take his trial at the next sittings of the Central Criminal Court. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths registered in the week ending September 19 were 946, being 200 less than the average. Diarrhoea still continues fatal, and last week carried off 111 persons.

We understand that several highly interesting objects are in progress for public exhibition.

Wilson, who were drowned on the Saturday previous under such distressing circumstances at Dunbar, took place in the Grange Cemetery here. The bodies were conveyed to the place of interment in three hearses, followed by six mourning coaches.

The melancholy cortege attracted universal attention and sympathy. The body of Mr Wilson had not been recovered.— Edinburgh Daily Express. SUICIDE OF ME LEGEEW, THE SCULPTOR.— On Saturday week Mr Wakley held an inquest at t ha residence of the late Mr JamesLegrew, aged 54, St Alban's- road, Kensingtoie, sculp- tor, who committed suicide by blowing his brsins out with a large horse- pistol. Mrs. Jane Legrew, deceased's sister, who was deeply affected, said the deceased had for some months past laboured under most extraordinary delusions, and appeared quite an altered man. On Wednesday week she was fetched from her own residence, in the Victoria- road, and found t hat her brother bad shot himself through the head. The deceased was unmarried. He was in affluent circumstances, and she knew of nothing that preyed on his mind. He was in hi* h estimation as a sculptor and artist. Verdict— Temporary Insanity. FATAL BULL FIGHT,— A bull fight, accompanied with fatal results, occurred last week near the Grange station on the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway. Two bulls, the property of different farmers, were grazing on opposite sides of the line, and seem to have conceived a deadly enmity towards each other. They each leaped over a five- barred gate upon the railway, and a fierce combat ensued, when the down express train approached, and immediately put an end to the fight and to the existence of the combatants. One of the animals was sent spinning into a ditch by the side of the railway, and the other was struck full in the side by the engiue, aad knocked a distance of at least 20 yards upon the metals of the up- line. We understand the owners of the cattle have made a claim upon the company for compensation. Colt's revolver, such as they used in the Crimea. This did ) if> t intimidate them, and he fired a shot in the air, at the >. time saying ha had a revolver. The crowd gained on him and he again fired with the intention of wounding in the knee., but this shot did not take effeot. It seems that the crowd must have thought ho was armed with single pistols, and his means of defence thus exhausted, for they closed upon him at once. Here he fired his third shot, while in the act of being seized by the infuriated people, and this one took effect in the abdomen of one John Dempsey. Tryon again took to his heels, and soon came up with Policeman Hacket, who took him into custody. A large and excited crowd followed him to the station- house. An inquest commenced yesterday, and is continued to- day,— Montreal Pilot, Sept 5, THE LEIGH WOODS MUBDEE.— By command of the Home Secretary, a reward of £ 100 has been offered for the discovery of the murderer of the female whose body was found in Leigh Woods on the 11th inst, and any accomplice ( not the actual murderer) who gives the required information will, in addition to the reward, receive her Majesty's free pardon. A letter has been received by the Bristol police, from the Nottingham Union Workhouse, the writer of which wrote under the impression that he knew the young female who was found murdered on Friday fortnight, under such mysterious circumstances. He states that a short time ago a young woman, named Cordelia Parker, became for a short time an inmate of the Nottingham Union. She was an educated young woman, and had belonged to a good family, and she did not come in through any pecu- niary distress, having £ 6 or £ 7 in her pocket at the time, but in consequence of some trouble having brought on temporary mental weakness. After leaving the Union, she went to live for a short time iu the family'of Mr Henshaw, at No. 2, Lenton Sands, near Nottingham, and while there she received a further sum of £ 3S, from the sale of some furniture. She left Mr Hen- shaw's, stating that she was going to Hull to endeavour to get a situation as a teacher of music, and that, if she failed in that, she should go on to Bristol, where she thought she would be successful. Since her departure she has not been heard of. The writer of the letter states that she much resembles the descrip- tion of the murdered woman ; that the matron a « d nurses con- sider the two to be identical, the more especis> J » ' y as they had an opportunity of noticing that the linen and clothing of the young woman to whom they refer bore tbo initials " C. P." It is thought that this story is not * t all inconsistent with the fact of the stays having been purchased of Mr Goodman, at Bath, as the youug worn?" might have gone on to that city ; and Mr Sergeant HanJccck has set inquiries on foot with a view, if possible, to trace Miss Parker from Nottingham. The Globe of Friday says John William Beale, the supposed murderer of Charlotte Pugsley has been apprehended at Daventry, near Northampton, He was to be brougt in custody to Bristol en Thursday, 48 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 20, 1857.

TROOPS FOB INDIA.— The new- formed second battalion ® f the 2d Queen's Royals, which left Colchester Camp last week for Shorncliffe, consisted of 16 officers, six sergeants, 800 rank and file ( all recruits), 10 women, and 14 children. The recruiting for this battalion, aad for the depots of the Rifle Brigade, continues as actively as ever, and, as a proof of the readiness to enter the army, we may mention that about 500 recruits have joined the ColchesterCaaip wichina short period, and fresh mep are arriving every day from the various provincial towns where recruiting parties are stationed. On Saturday week the 1st depot battalion consisting of the 4th, 12tli, and 89th depots, left the camp at Shoraslitfe, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Whit- more. The battalion consisted of 31 officers, 400 men, 87 women, and 165 children, and their departure will leave the camp entirely in possession of depots of the Indian regiments, which will be comprised in two divisions, as follows: 2fl and 8d battalions Rifle Brigade, 54th and 56th, 1st and 3d battalions of the 60th Rifles, under the command of Col Dixon ; 1st Royals, 34th, 37th, 38th 88th, and 97th, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Street. Accounting for the departure and arrival of depots, there remain in camp about 2,100 men, who upon the whole may be said to bo healthy, as there is but a small proportion of in- valids in hospital. One death took place last week, that of Colour- Sergeant Wedgeworth, of the 97th, a remarkably fine man, who passed through the Crimean campaign, and was awarded the Legion of Honour f » r his gallant conduct in the attack on the Redan. The men complain of the inconvenience experienced during the late heavy rains in consequence of the insufficiency of the present drainage to carry off the surface water from the level of the camp ground, and which chiefly dis- appears by percolation through the gravelly soil.— The depots of the 23d Welsh Fusiliers, 24th, 27th Enniskillens, 29th, 53d, and 84th Regiments have been considerably augmented by the arrival at Chatham of upwards of 100 recruits, for the purpose of joining these regiments.— Ia consequence of the large number of re- cruits who are daily arriving at Chatham, amounting to upwards of 200 weekly, for the purpose of joining the Indian depots at the Provisional Battalion, considerable activity prevails at Chatham barracks in preparing the men for embarkation for India, for the purpose of joining the servioe companies of their respective regiments. The troops are marched out daily to the lines', where they are exercised for several hours, iu addition to which large bodies of troops, selected from the various depots, are instructed in the use of the Enfield rifle, no non- commissioned officer or private being allowed to embark until he has undergone a course of instruction in that weapon.— Nineteen officers and 300 men of the 78th Regiment arriyed at Ports- mouth on Wednesday afternoon from the camp at Shoru- cliffe, to embark in the steamer Ireland for India.— In order to carry out the orders recently issued for separating the troops now composing the provisional battalion, Chatham Garrison, into three separate battalions, the whole of the Indian depots were on Monday afternoon' assembled on the general parade ground, Chatham Barracks, under the command of Colonel H, Jervis, commandant of the provisional battalion, when the three battalions were formed. The first battalion will be under the command of Colonel H. Jervis, and will be com- posed of tne following depots, viz :— 7 th Royal Fusiliers, 24th and 27th Enuiskillens ; 32d, 35th, 53d, 70th, 75th, 81st, and 84th. The second battalion will be commanded by Lieut- Col R. N. Phillips, and will consist of the 8th, the King's ; 10th, 20th, 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers ; 29th and 52d Light Infantry ; 61st, 82d, 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers ; aad the 90th Light Infantry. The third battalion is placed under the command of Lieut- Col C. Elmhirst, and comprises the depots of the 19th and 43d Light Infantry, 64th, 83d, aad 86th Regiments, together with the following five depots now under orders to proceed to Chatham Garrison, viz:— 5th Fusiliers, 18th Royal Irish, 33d ( Duke of Wellington's) 51st Light Infantry, and the 94th. The battalions are to ba formed from the 1st of October next, the paymasters of each battalion taking over- payment from that date. — The 44th Regiment was at Madeira on the 6th of September, in the Khersonese, bound for Madras, all well.— The 77th Regi- ment, second division, under Lieut- Col Deverell, was near the Equator on the 11th of July, having had a good passage so far in the ship Palmerston, for Sydney.— The- Cleopatra steamship, with the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers on board, arrived, all well, at Ascension, on the way to India, on the 14tk of July.— The Ireland steamship left Portsmouth on Thursday with the fol- lowing officers and troops for Kurracnee :— Major Peyton, Cap- tains Cleveland, Rhodes, Bait, and Eilerman ; Lieutenants Fres- son, Gardiner, Kay, Lloyd, Jones, Lewis, Biackett, Walker, and Brett; Ensigns Woodward, West, Smith, and Stewart; Assist- ant- Surgeon Beattie, 20 sergeants, 7 drummers, 19 corporals, and 255 privates of the 98th Regiment. The Ireland sailed from Spithead at half- past two p. m.— The screw steamship Great Bri- tain steamed out of the Mersey on Thursday afternoon for Cork, wheue she will take on board between 1,100 and 1,200 men, with horses belonging to th8 8 th Hussars and 17th Lancers, with whom she will sail direct for Bombay. A large number of per- sons crowded the quays to witness her departure, and wish her " God speed." MOVEMENTS OI? TEOOPS.— The Lebanon, iron screw chartered transport, Captain Cook, arrived on Sunday in Portsmouth har- bour with the remaining companies of the 68th Regiment, from Cephalouia, who will land from the ship alongside the dockyard jetty, and take up their quarters at the Anglesey Barracks, Portsea. They consist of 18 officers, 581 non- commissioned officers and privates, 32 women, and 51 children. The officers Mid men speak of the kindness awd accommodation they have received during the passage home, as reflecting the highest credit on Captain Cook and the officers under his command.— On Thursday, the head- quarters, consisting of the A and E troops of the 7th Dragoon Guards, accompanied by their band, arrived at Chatham from Sheffield, under orders to join the troops of that regiment quartered at Canterbury. The head- quarters were under the command of Captain A. R. G. Costello and Lieu- tenant and Adjutant D. Scotland, and numbered 120 horses and men. A detachment of the 7tn Dragoon Guards, consisting of the D and F troops, numbering 80 men aud 103 horses, left Chatham on Thursday for Canterbury, accompanied by the fol- lowing officers:— Captain T. E. Dowbiggin, Lieutenant and Riding- Master Blinkhorn, Lieutenant J. V. Cieland, Cornet W. D. Wentworth, and Cornet R, E. Ecfealaz. T;: e7th Dragoon Guards, which number upwards of 500 men, are under orders embark at Gravesend on the 2d of October, on board the Southampton, for India. Colonel Hogart, 7th Hussars, left VCondon on Thursday, and proceeds to India by the overland route to meet his regiment at Calcutta. THE VICTORIA RIFLE COBPS.— We gladly give insertion to the following letter:—" Orderly Room, Kilburn, N. W. S3pt 24,1857. Sir: Will you kindly permit me, through the medium of your columns, to correct an impression which is gaining ground that the Victoria Rifles or Middlesex Volunteer Corps, is simply a club of gentlemen, not sanctioned by Government. Such an impression, to a great extent, frustrates the exertions of those who are endeavouring to raise the corps to its full comple- ment. I beg to state in contradiction that the Victoria Rifle Corps is enrolled under the direct sanction of her Majesty, with the approval also of Lord Palmerston. The corps is entirely self- supporting, is governed by the Volunteer Act, and is, I be- lieve, the only Volunteer Rifle Corps, excepting the South Devon, whose officers' names appear in the Army List. Some of its mem- bers have received commissions iu various militia regiments, one was gazetted direct from its ranks as paymaster in the Jer- man Legion, and two are now fighting iu India as officers of her Majesty's 60th Rifles.— Yours, & c, FEED. ABBOTT, Sergeant, Victoria Rifles. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. VICIOET, GUARD- SHIP, CAPTAIN G. H. SEYMOUE, C. B.— On the water being pumped out of No. 3 dock, we had an opportu- nity of examining her bottom; her lines are exceedingly fine, with an entrance and run like a cutter. She was built at Chatham in 1768. It is 21 years since she was last dooked at Portsmouth. The Victory has leaked for a long time past; yet, although we have ready means at hand, in the shape of divers and material, not a thought seems to have occurred to the Officials about the necessity of examining any portion below the water line. Her bottom presented a most singular appearance when the dock was dry, being covered from stem to stern with • ysters, mussels, and animalcules; upwards of six bushels of the finest oysters were detached from the copper sheathing, some of whioh measured five inches in diameter, aud which apparently were devoured with great relish by the dockyard workmen. As te mussels, there must be, at the least, two cartloads. About • 18 feet from the stem, and four from the water line on her star- board bow, is a sight worth looking at, and it is pretty evident that ever since the Victory has been at her present moorings she has been chafing on her bridle chain; this ground away her copper sheathing for 13 streaks down towards the keel, and no doubt shortly after the worms had it all their owu way, for they have positively eaten through the whole of a space of 10 feet by the average of 3 feet. These destructive insects have penetrated for themselves cells quite honeycomb; the inner part of some of the planking not being thicker than a piece of orange- peel, any shock given to the ship would have allowed the pressure of the tide to have broken through in a body, and down would have gone Nelson's old Victory. Her copper is generally in excellent order, and she appears yet as though she would well last another century. DEATH OP VICE- ADMIBAL SIB W. H. DILLON.— We regret to announce the demise of Vice- Admiral of the Red Sir William 79th year of his age. Sir William, born on the 8th of August, 1779, was the only surviving son of the late Sir John Talb » t Dillon, and derived, through female desceut, from the great house of Wingfield, being great grandson of Sir Mervyn Wing- field, the sixth baronet. He entered the navy in May, 1790, as captain's servant, on board the Alcide, 74, Captain Sir Andrew Suape Douglas. In December, 1792, he joined as midshipman, the Thetis, 38, Captain Francis John Hartwell. He saw much active service. By the death of Sir William Dillon the following routine promotions will take place :— To be vice- admiral of the blue Rear- Admiral William Waipole, vice Sir Fairfax Moresby, K. C. B., to be vice- admiral of the white, vice Sir Henry Prescott, K. C. B., to be vice- dmiral of the red, vice Dillon. To be rear- admiral of the blue Captain John Kingcome ( June 28,1838), vice Sir T. S. Pasley, Bart, to be rear- admiral of the whita vice Sir Henry Byarn Martin, K. C. B., to be rear- admiral of the red, vice Walpole. The senior rear- admiral will be H. W. Bruce, com- mander- in- chief of the Pacific. The senior captain on the active list is Brunswick Popham ( 1838), but at the next flag vacancy Captains Popham, Ogle, Hacket, and Newell go on the reserved half- pay list of rear- admirals ; therefore Captain Frederick Bul- lock is the senior for promotion to the active list of flag officers. By the promotion of Captain Kingcome another good service r- wosiou falls to the patronage of Sir Charles Wood. ^ a- AMY.— As chief constable M'Donnold was standing ou the platform of the railway station at Wakefield, on Thursday morn- ing week, his attention was attracted to an elegantly dressed lady who was walking backwards and forwards with a gentle- man, also fashionably dressed. The chief constable, feeling assured he had somewhere met the lady before, approached to take a closer view, when he recognised her to be a member of a somewhat notorious family in Wakefield. Her maiden name was Emma Redding v but a few years ago she was married to a gen- tleman at Dewsbury, named Fell, from whom she subsequently separated. The chief constable having some suspicion that both were speculating on reaping an unlawful harvest at Boucaster races, accosted tiie man, and asked whether he knew the person he was in company with. The gentleman said, " I should think Lfirst" prize £ 1 10s, second 10s', " third I do j she is my wife." He then stated that his name was " ~ " ----- Edwin Lewis Brown; that he was a manufacturer of gas stoves, aud that he was lately married to the female, in verification of which statement he took the constable to his lodgings in Wake- field and produced his " marriage lines." He also stated that he first became acquaiated with her at Bradford; and, believing she was a single woman, had married her, and that he had since expended some £ 20 or £ 30 on her for dress alone. " Mrs Brown," or rather " Mrs Fell," stripped of most of her finery, is now in custody. She has twice been tried for felony. When appre- hended she was dressed in a slate- coloured silk dress, a brown • loth jacket, trimmed with silk and ornamented with buries, a hat, with feather and lace fall; and she carried a sky- blue satin parasol .— Manchester Guardian, ' PAINFUL OCCUEEENOB.— A naost distressing accident occurre3 at Seaton Sluice Harbour, ou the Northumberland coast, on Saturday afternoon week. A hearing boat, with three men and a boy on board, was passing the harbour mouth, when a heavy sea struck it, and completely split it up. The iKen could swim, but the lad could not, and one of the men, named Butcher, the boy's father, made a noble effort to savee him. He had hold of him several times, but each time he got hold of him the waves parted them, and at last the poor lad was washed away nd drowned. The men managed to reach the shore. ANOTHEE GUK ACCIDENT.— Mr W. Wright, farmer, of El- lerby, has just lost hisjife whilst out shooting at Aldborough, Holderness. Mr Wright~ 4ia4 shot a bird, and whilst Mr Rich- ardson, grocer, of Hull, was in the act of picking it up, Mr Wright commenced re- loading the discharged barrel— his gun being a double- barrelled one, and the otiwsr barrel loaded. Whilst in the act of ramming down the powder, the loaded barrel discharged, entered Mr Wright is the left breast, his coat, waistcoat, shirt, and flannel being burnt through, and the shot shattered three of his ribs and the lungs. Death was almost instantaneous. LITERATURE. THE SQUIBE OP BEECHWOOD. ATBUETALE. By " SCUUTA- TOB." 3 vols. [ Hurst and Biackett.]— Few of our readers, and of them who are foxhunters none, can have forgotten the practical essays ou hounds, horses, and hunting, that appeared, written by " Scrutator," iu these pages, two or three years ago. They had the greatest of merits— they were eminently practical- in that respect they were superior to the Hunting- field, by the author of Soapey Sponge, but in style and fanciful description Inferior. The talents of both authors combined would produce a book on the " noble science," such as would delight tha shades, as they strolled through the gardens of Elysium, of those iiflmor- tals, Beckford and Nimrod. When reading " Scrutator' de- scribing the glories of the chase, we did not dream of seeing him metamorphosed into a most clever and amusing novelist. We tnought his was the stable, uot the fable mind. We did not think aright. We now sea him in the tale- teller's domain, and find him as much at home there as he would be by the cover side, whilst his deep- mouthed beauties were drawing it. The Squire of Beeehwood has found an admirable anualist, and the reader a uost amasing narrator. The work is called " a true tale." Hardly so, we think. The characters may be sketched from life, but the incidents are too good to be true. " Scrutator" ridss at once into the middle of his subject, and as cheerily as if he were winding hunting- horn, describes to us the leaders of this glorious pack, Robert and Harry Howard. Thoy are cousins, and of gentle blood. The first is a roysterer, the second a lad steady, in setting off at least, at his work. They break cover at Lord Bernard's, a fine old English baron, with a Junonian co- mate and a charming young nestling, the lady- bird Julia. " She had just emerged from the school- room, was in form and features one of the most beautiful girls ever beheld. She was rather above the general standard of women, but of exquisite symmetry; her features were of the Grecian cast, with dark, lustrous eyes, and luxurious tresses of the raven hue. [ This reminds us of Barry Cornwall's ' Dark as the raven's wing, weary with a long day's wandering.'] Her complexion was of the brunette tint, with a rich colour mantling iu her cheek. In manners and mien, graceful and fascinating ; in dis- position, cheerful, gay, and warm- hearted." Robert Howard captivates her by his handsome person and dashing manners ; but, alas ! he loves another, who loves not hita, and she is lost in the game of " cross purposes." A Miss Maitland intervenes. Robert would hare her, but she inclines to his cousin Harry, who, after overleaping many obstacles, finally wins the fair Mary Maitland. On the death of his father he becomes the Squire of Beecawood, and the possessor of a fine property in a fine fox- hunting country. He lives as becomes an English squire, has the best stud aud kennel in the county, keeps open house, is most happy in his wife and promising progeny. Robert loads an extravagant life, and of course gets involvwl. He applies to his cousin Harry for aid. The latter becomes surety for him to a large amount. The former fails iu his engagements, and the result is the ruin of the gallant squire. Beech ivood is sequestrated, and everything belonging to it passes away, through the sieve of the liw, not into the haiids of real creditors, but into those of the graduates of Gray's Inn and Chancery lane. Amongst the early suitors of Mary Maitiand was a Sir George Beaumont, a baronet of large fortune and larger heart. He meets with his former rival and former love piah. g in poverty, in a poor retreat in Wales. He sets to work, discovers that the squire has been victimised by the graduates just mentioned. Hi ; own solicitors, rarcs aves, are good men aud true. They take the squire's affairs iu Hand, manage them successfully, and restore him to Beechwood aad happiness. An event some time after occurs which adds to his fortune, but unhappily at the loss of friendship. The beneficent Beaumont dies, and being without near kith or kin, except an excellent wife, who willingly con- sents to the legacy, ho wills £ 50,006 to his premiers amours, Mary- Howard, nee Maitland. This is a very slight sketch of " a true tale." Those who would know its various and highly inte- resting details must have recourse to the volumes that contain them. If they do they will be compensated by a mine of amuse- ment, of facile aad delightful exploration. Waving metaphor, the tale is a thoroughly healthy one, and there are few which describe country life, high and low, with so much vigour, or greater truth fulness.

Lennox [ 3 vols, Hurst and Biackett] has been received, and shall be noticed when pressing sporting news relax a bit. When will that be? Greek calends.] FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. An accident, attended with fatal cousequenccs to four persons, and considerable injuries to several others, occurred on the main line of the Great Northern Railway on Thursday, about noon, to the express train from Manchester to London. The train, which consisted of engine and break- van, second- class carriage, composite carriage, first- class carriage, and break, passed Tuxford station at about the right time, and had pro- ceeded nearly two miles further, when in running over the viaduct which crosses the Newark and Tuxford- road, something gave way— it is supposed an axle— the engine became detached from the carriages, and bounded forwarded, while the vehicles separated into two divisions, the first of which, comprising a second class and composite carriage, heeled over the embank- ment on the south side of the viaduct, while the hinder portion of the train, after striking against the buttress of the bridge on the north side, and breaking off the stone cap aud upper brick- work, fell down, with a tremendous crash on to the turn- pike road below. The first two vehicles made a comnlete somer- sault, and alighted, with the right side up, in a cottager's garden. One or two of the passengers were much injured, but the majority escaped, and the carriages were very little dam- aged. The other three vehicles, including the break van, were literally smashed to pieces, all the upper timbers being entirely stripped off the platforms, while the break van had fallen upside down, and the wood work was crushed almost flat oa the ground. Such assistance as was at hand was rendered as promptly as possible, and messengers were despatched to the nearest stations and to the nearest medical men. Four of the passengers were taken out of the debris quite dead; three others were so seriously wounded as to be scarcely fit to be removed, and all the rest of the unfortunate travellers in this section of the train were more or less severely injured. The dead bodies and one or two of the worst sufferers surviving were removed to the Newcastle Arms, Tuxford. The remainder of the patients were taken to Retford. The following is a list of the casualtiesKilled: The Hon W. M. Windsor Clive, brother to the Hon Robert Olive, M. P., who was also in the train; Miss Letitia Paget, Gorton Lodge, Garston, Liverpool; Mrs Heaton, 18, Queen- square, Lancaster ; Mrs Pitman, wife of on § of the Great Northern Railway Com- pany's officers, who sat next to her when in the train. Wounded: Captain Marshall, who was going to 203, Bath- buildings, Glos- sop- road, London, one eye knocked out, his wife and child es- caped with bruises; Mr John Daasfield, hatter, Waterhead Mill, near Oldham, one of the town council of that borough, fractured ribs and internal injuries— bad case; John Jackson Bourn, near Cambridge, compound fracture of right arm, internal injuries, not expected to recover; William Dyson, the guard of the train, fractured skull, internal injuries, not expected to recover; Mr Sworder, Hertford, fracture of ancle; Mr Charles Sworder and Miss Sworder, slightly injured ; Mr] and Mrs Peace, Sheffield, contused wounds on the head; Mr Joseph Hangus, Castle- street, Sheffield, cut aud bruised, returned home ; Richardson, servant to Mr William Wiugham, of Mitchin, slightly injured; Mr Wingham was in the train and was seen walking on the line after the accident, but he has not been heard of since; Mr Braithwaite Rayner, commercial traveller, internally injured; Mr James Smith, traveller, head hurt a good deal, but not seriously; Miss Marr, daughter of Mr John Marr, 18, Quaen- sqaare, Lancaster, slightly injured; she was travelling with Miss Pa'get and Mrs Heaton, one of whom was her aunt, and both of whom were killed. The head of one of the ladies killed was crushed quite flat; the face ® f another was cut in two from top to bottom. A gentle- man's hoot, wet with blood, was seen on the road, as it had been cut off. A newspaper, smeared with blood, was also found. Numerous articles belonging to the passengers were picked up and forwarded to Retford. The officials of the line, acting under Mr Leith, superintend- ent, were incessant in their exertions to mitigate the sufferings of the passengers ; the line which was broken up for a distance of about fifty yards was repaired within four hours after the acci- dent by a staff of men under Mr Sturrock. GARRISON GAMES AT FOOT RACES AND CHATHAM. Stewards: Major Nugent, Royal Engineers; Lieut and Adju- tant Elliot, R. M. L. I.; Captain Bourchier, 52d Light Infantry. Starter: Major Bunbury ( M. S.

These sports were held on a portion of the race course, Chatham lines, on Thursday, Sep- tember 24th, under the patronage of the commandant, Colonel Eden, and as the day was remarkably fine the attendance was both numerous and respectable. It is estimated that 9.000 per oompieteiy througMh were present; the grand stands used for the annual races were filled to the roof by the officers of the garrison, their ladies, and the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, and for some distance along the course there was an unbroken line of carriages occupied by leading families of the vicinity and garrison. The bands of the Royal Marines and the Royal Engi- neers were in attendance.

The winner of the first prize was Private J. Geary, 87th Regiment; he came in about a length ahead of Private T. Bagnam, 9Sth Light Infantry, who gained the second prize; Private J.

This was one of the best runs of all. The running was admi- rable, and the jumping over the hurdles was done in beautiful style. One or two had a fall in going over. On their coming towards the winning post it was evident, by the lead taken by Lieut Sedden, of the Royal Engiueers, that he was the winner; he cleared the last hurdle ia fine style, followed by Lieut Mait- Jand, who, on going over, fell, and rolled over, so that he could not move himself. Lieut Tisdell, Royal Engineers, second, and Lieut Warburton third. It was run in lmin 30sec. Lieut Sid- den won by several lengths.— The Hurdle Stakes; 440 yards; over the same course as the preceding race; open to all non- commissioned officers and privates of the garrison ; first prize £ 110s, second 10s, third 5s.

Owing to the confused state of the men, and the dis- order of the course, it was impossible to say who was tho win- ner. The sports did not terminate until it was nearly dusk. Everything went off very satis& ctorily.

THE CBUSADE AGAINST BETTING MEN.— UNWAERANTABLE AEEEST.— At Guildhall, on Thursday, Mr Abraham Davis, de- scribed as a gentleman, residing at Deptford, was placed at the bar before Alderman Hale and Alderman Copeland, charged under the following circumstances:— Police- constable 325 said, I saw the prisoner and two or three other persons talking together in Bride- lane this morning, and I took him into custody for ob- structing the footway. I searched him and found a watch, £ 5 17s 5| d, and a betting- book upon him.— Alderman Halo: Had the prisoner and those he was talking with betting- books iu their hands?— Policeman: No, sir.— Did they refuse to go away when you told them?— They did not, sir.— How many times had you cautioned them before?— Often, sir. Nearly every day.— Alderman Copeland : If the officer would go into the passage leading to the Stock Exchange he would there see bargains done in the Coasols among persons whom he might just as reasonably take iuto custody as tho prisoner. I consider it a monstrous interference with the liberty of the subject to take a gentleman into custody who has committed no offence; and I should like to know by what authority they searched him, and took his money and watch away ( applause).— Alderman Hale: You are perhaps not aware that these men assemble in the neighbourhood to the number of 100 and 150 at a time, to the obstruction of the thoroughfaro and the great annoyance ef the inhabitants; and I am determined to do all I can to put a stop to such an infringement of the act of Parlia- ment.— Alderman Copelaud : And you are quite right, too; but in this case there is no infringement of the act, for by the evi- dence of the officer there were only two or three persons talking together.— Alderman Hale: This system of betting in the public streets is becoming ati intolerable nuisance, but as the police- man did not see you in the act of betting I ihall discharge you, prisoner; but bear in mind that Bride- lane is not to be made a place of public resort for such purposes.— Alderman Copeland: 1 am here by accident only, aud if you, sir, will direet the atten- tion of the police to Capel- oourt, where thousands of barrels of tallow are passed from hand to hand without one farthing being paid, they will find there plenty of stags to give them occupa- tion. I like to see justice meted out to every one alike. The transactions in Capel- court are as much gambling as betting iu the streets, and should not bo allowed to escape while another class is prosecuted. The police might see me talking t o a friend, and take me up and find a betting- book in my possession, but that would be no offence, and vould not justify them in taking me into custody,— Alderman Hale: There is no doubt that a great amount of evil arises from this betting system, for it often induces young men to speculate, and when they lose tlv ir own money they embezzle that of their employers, and I am resolved, as long as I occupy a scat oa this beach, to uphold the law for suppressing such baneful practices to the fullest extent of my power.— The prisoner was then discharged, LOED CAMPBELL'S ACT TO SUPPEESS THE SALE OP INDE- CENT PEINTS, & e.— A most extensive seizure of indecent prints, books, manuscripts, & e, was made by Snperiatendent Durkin and a largo body of police, including six inspectors, under the authority of six warrants issued by Mr Jardine, ia accordance with the provisions of Lord Campbell's Act, against the occu- piers of four houses iu Holy well- street and two in Wych- street. The property was produced at Bow- strevt police court, on Tues- day, by the inspectors who had respectively executed the several warrants, and aa application was made to his worship on behalf of the Treasury for summonses against the parties, to show cause why the property seized should not be destroyed or detuned as evidence on which to found further proceedings, Mr Bodkin, in making the application, expressed a hope that under the provisions of this act Government would be ewabled to suppress this infamous traffic. Formal evidence was ten- dered by the inspectors of the seizure of the property in the several houses, aud of the obscene character of tha works, which, indeed, was manifest at the slightest glance. Many of the prints were of the most loathsome description, and the books were for. the most part such as have been the subject of former prosecutions. Six summonses were granted against the ven- dors of these disgusting productions.— The proceedings were taken with such caution that none of the parties were aware that a seizure was contemplated till they found their houses in possession of the police, and every avenue guarded. SMOKING IN RAILWAY CAEMAGES.— At Greenwich, on Wed- nesday, two young Hebrews, named Henry and Edward Levy, wore charged with smoking ia a carriage ou the North Kent liae. From the evidence given, it appeared that on the morning of Friday week, the defendants, with a third person, entered a second- class carriage of the 7: 56 Woolwich train, at Lowisham, all smoking cigars. They were requested to desist doing so, but refused, upon which a general altercation took plaoe" be- tween them and the passengers, and it was not until after threats were used that they took the cigars from their mouths, holding them, however, in their hands without attempting to extinguish the light. On the arrival of the train at New Cross, the attention of the ticket- collector and guard was called to the defendants, who still had the cigars in their hands, and which led to the present summonses being issued against them.— Mr Seeker considered the offence was an aggravated one in this case, and fined them 40s each. Another " gent" of the same persuasion was then charged with a similar offence.— The evi- dence given in this case was a mere repetition of that given above, the defendant being the third person referred to, and who called as witnesses the two first- named defendants, who both swore that at the time ha ( Davis) entered the carriage he was not smoking, and that having asked for a light for his cigar, and finding that there was an objection among the passengers to his smoking, he did not take a light.— On the other side it was deposed to by one of the passengers that the defendant was not only smoking at the time ho entered the carriage, but that the altercation became so strong that he believed one of the other occupants of the carriage had to threaten to " punch his head" unless he left off smoking.— Mr Seeker fivsed the defendant 40s and oosts, at the same time observing that iu his opinion the practice of providing smoking carriages for first- class passengers only ought either to be revoked, or extended to second aud third class travellers alike. BOAT ACCIDENT OFF LYTHAM.— An accident occurred near Lytham, Lancashire, on Sunday night, by which five persons are supposed to have been drowned. The scene of the casualty is a sand bank about a mile and a half from the Lytham Lighthouse, and about a mile and a quarter from the Lytham beach. At half- past two o'clock on Saturday afternoon a party of five men, viz, John Morrow, Richard Forshaw, John Holden, Thomas Green, and Alexander Whittle— left the Old Quay, Preston, accompanied by Mrs Alice Gabutt, of Blackburn, and her daughter, intending to sail to the Lytham Lighthouse in a boat belonging to Morrow, and walking thence a distance of about three miles, to Blackpool. They arrived at Lytham about half- past five o'clock, put Mrs Gabutt and her daughter ashore, cast anchor off the lighthouse, and four of them went to the Coffee- house Inn, Marton, near Blackpool, leaving one of the company iu charge of the boat. After spending ail the night at this house, they left soon after eight o'clock the following morning, after having partaken of breakfast, and told the landlord that they were going to the boat, and proposed sailing direct for Preston at once. When they arrived at the boat, it is supposed they found that the state of the tide would not answer their departure home, and, getting into the boat, sailed about the coast for a few hsuirs. Morrow and his companions persisted in their determination to sail up to Preston with the midnight ebb tide. Nothing further was then heard of them until Monday forenoon, when, after the tide had gone out, some fishermen from Lytham found the boat firmly imbedded in the sand on the bank, about a mile and a half from the lighthouse, and a mile and a quarter from the land. In the boat they found the body of John Holden entangled in the can- vas, which was wrapped about his loins, indicating that in his struggle for life he must have battled with the waves a con- siderable time by holding on to the sail. The cause of the de- plorable accident is supposed to be this :— The deceased persons, while awaiting the ebbing tide, cast out their anchor on the wrong side of the boat, and by the action of the tide the boat was driven rather violently against the projecting fluke of the anchor. By this means a hole was driven into the bottom of the boat, and she instantly filled and sank. An inquest was held on Tuesday evening* on the body of Holden, at the Talbot Inn, Lytham, before Mr Mynes, who, after hearing some evidence, adjourned the inquest to allow time to find the other bodies. THE LATE MUEDEE IN LEIGH WOODS, NEAE BRISTOL.— The unfortunate woman who was found murdered in Leigh Woods on the night of the 11th inst, and reference to whose case has been made almost daily since the occurrence in The Times, ha3 at last been satisfactorily identified, and circum- stances have transpired which render the speedy capture of the murderer almost certain. The deceased, whose name is Charlotte Pugsley, was formerly in the service of the Hon Mrs Hutchinson, of Dorset House, Olifton, and on that lady leaving England for Ireland Pugsley obtained a situation in the family of Mrs Cave, of Downend, and afterwards with a lady named Western, of Rivers- street, Bath. On the death of Mrs Western the deceased entered the service of the Rev G. Bythesea, of Freshford, with whom she had lived nearly three mouths as head cook. She had recently given notice of her intention to leave, stating that she was about to be married to a man named Beale, who had formerly been a fellow- servant with her, and that after her marriage they were about to emigrate. On Wed- nesday, the 9th iust, Beale came to the house of Mr Bythesea about four o'clock iu the afternoon, for the purpose of taking his intended wifo away with him. She had three boxes, one covered with black leather, and the two others with different descrip- tions of paper, all of which were covered with a coarse kind of wrapping, corded, and directed " Mr Beale, passenger to Bris- tol." After tea Beale aad the girl Pugsley took leave of the servants, and proceeded to the Limpley Stoke station of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, whence it is believed they started for Bristol. It is kuown that the de- ceased had with her about £ 7 iu cash, and there is also reason to believe that she had previously remitted some money to Beale, who was living iu service in the neighbourhood of Northampton, to enable him to come down and join her at Freshford. On Thursday morning Inspector Norris, of the Bath police force, accompanied by a fellow servant of Charlotte Pugsley's, came to Bristol for the purpose of seeing the clothes of the deceased, and giving other information. This young woman having detailed the facts before stated as to Pugsley having told her of her intention to get married, Beale's visit to Freshford on the 9th, and their departure on the evening of that day, identified the clothes of the deceased as being beyond all doubt those of Charlotte Pugsley. She recognised the stockings as a pair which she had herself mended for the deceased, and a pair of coburg cloth sleeves with crape ruche, which the de- cs ased had put into her dress on the day before leaving, as she said she considered the sleeves of the dress were not long enough. The other articles of dress also corresponded with those worn by Pugsley when she left Freshford. With respect to the bonnet and cape, which have not been found, it is stated that the de- ceased wore when she left a black Orleans cape, rather large, trimmed with black braid, and lined with black lining. She had on a speckled straw bonnet with green ribands, a curtain edged with crape, and a border of white net with narrow pink riband. In her boxes there were also several shawls and a silk cape. In addition to the testimony of the fellow- servant of Pugsley, a laundress who had washed for her for years clearly identifies the under garments. Acting upon the information thus gained, the police are using strenuous exertions for the apprehension of the supposed murderer, for whose conviction the Home Secretary has offered a reward of £ 100, with a free pardon to any accomplice not being the actual perpetrator of the crime. SUICIDE AND INCENDIAEISM.— An act of self- destruction, ac- companied by three attempts, and to destroy a rectory house by fire, took place in the village of Bradford Peverell, about two miles from Dorchester, on Saturday week. Just before six o'clock that morninsr, William Howe, serving- man to the Rev Blackstone Williams, was heard to go up to his room by one of the servants, and shortly afterwards she remarked a singular smell of smoke. On descending she found the lower part of the rectory and the staircase were on fire, and at once communicated with her master. The household was almost instantly astir, and Howe was fouud lying motionless in his bedroom, on the floor, with Ms face downwards, and a discharged gun beneath him. Mr Williams called to a man named Barfclett to assist Howe, and shortly after returned to Howe's room, and found him attempt- ing to cut his throat with a razor, which the rev gentleman managed to get possession of and threw away, when Howe fell upon the floor as if dead. It was found that by means of heaps of candle- ends, straw, empty casks, and portions of wall being bared to the lath, preparations which must have occupied hours for their consummation, the house was in a most dangerous con- dition. However, the Rev Mr Williams made his way again to Howe's room, when he found the man on his feet hacking at his throat with another razor, the existence of which was unknown to the rev gentleman, aud the mau, bleeding profusely, almost immediately after expired. No cause for the committal of these deeds has been assigned. An inquest was held the same day before the district coroner, Mr Giles Symonds, and the jury returned a verdict of felo de se. The body was interred at midnight. FIBE AT BBIXTON.— On Wednesday night a fire took place on the premises belonging to Mr Samuel Bamford, carpenter, builder, joiner, & c, No 5, Carl ton- terrace, Loughborougli- road, Brixton. The premises in which the disaster commenced were nearly 100 feet long, and were used as workshops, in which was deposited a costly stock- in- trade, as well as the whole of the workmou's tools and other effects. The firemen were enabled to extinguish the flames, but not before the building in which the fire commenced and all it contained were destroyed. MATCHES TO COME.

MONDAY, SEPT 21.— THE CHAMPION'S BELT.— The contest for this valuable prize, which for some days previously had formed the topic of discussion it houses where pedestrians " most do congregate," took place jthis afternoon, and attracted s very considerable number of pel- sons to the above grounds, many having arrived from distant towns. The day was gloomy, but no rain fell, and Mr A. Attenbury had made every prepa- ration for the important event. The boundary of the gardens, along one sids was protected by high and substantial wooden palings, in other parts canvas had been placed, and the belt, which had been enclosed in a neat glazed frame, was suspended in front of the refreshment booth. The conditions of the race were, that the entry should be £ 1 each, the winner to receive the belt and £ 5, and the distance to be traversed 150 yards. Six well- known pedestrians enrolled their names to compete ( but one of them, H. A. Reed of London was non est), and the men ran in two lots. The sport commenced at half- past four o'clock, and came off as follows:— Lot 1: W. Pearson of Eccles, 1; T. Collinge of Jumbo, 2; J. Forster of Dewsbury, 3. Very little betting took place, but the odds were 2 to 1 on Pearson, and 2 to 1 agst Collinge. Immediately after the pistol was fired Forster took a slight lead, but when they had run aoout SO yards, Pearson passed him. Ou arriving withiu 40 paces of home, Collinge also headed Forster, and the heat ended in Pearson being declared the winner by a yard and a half, Collinge being half a yard in advance of Forster, the race proving far from an interesting one.— Lot 2: George Darley of Sal- ford, 1; Jas. Hancack, of Salford, 2. Betting : 2 to 1 on the winner. The favourite got a little the best of the start, but Hancock soon breasted him, and thus they ran until within 20 yards of the goal, when Hancock dropped into the rear, and thus enabled Darley to win by three- quarters of a yard. We may add, that the spectators expressed considerable dissatisfaction at the manner in which both heatshad beenrun.— Deciding heat: Specu- lation upon this event fluctuated considerably, and was very brisk. At first odds were laid on Pearson, but at start Darley was the favourite at 2 to 1. On going away Pearson gained a slight advantage, but the favourite was close up with him, though he ( Pearson) maintained the supremacy for 140 yards, the race being a beautiful one. Here Darley breasted Pearson, just got iu front, and won by a foot only. By this contest, George Darley, of Salford, became champion of England, and great credit is due to his trainer, John Fittoa ( alias Jack o'Dicks), of Royton, for the condition ia which he brought him to the scratch. The belt is an excellent piece of workmanship, bearing two gold pe- destrian figures, and upon a silver shield iu front is engraved the name of the donor, and where and when it was won. HANCOCK, PEABSON, AND DABLBY.— James Hancock of Sal- ford, William Pearson of Eccles, aud George Darley of Salford, have signed articles to ruu 150 yards, for £ 25 each and the champion's belt which Darlay won on Monday last, the success- ful man in this match to receive the £ 75, the belt, and the whole of the three shares of the gate- money. The race is to come off at the Salford Borough Gardens, on Monday, the 9th of November, the men to start by the report of a pistol, and any one leaving the mark before the signal is given, to stand one yard back. Mr Holden has been appointed referee and stakeholder, and the first deposit of £ 1 each has been paid to him ; £ 4 each more is to be placed in his hands to- morrow ( Monday), and £ 5 each on every succeeding Monday, up to the 26th of October inclusive. LEE AND BEOWN.— Another deposit, making £ 12 each now down, has been paid to Mr Holden, for the race of 140 yards, for £ 15 a side, between R. Lee of Etruria, and W. Brown of Stone, which is to come off at the Salford Borough Gardens, on the 5th of next month. SEDDON AND BOOTH.— A match has been made between Job Seddou of Bambtr Bridge, aud John Booth of Ley land ( both near Preston), to run 200 yards, for 25 a side, on theli a of October, at the Salford Borough Gardens, Mr Holdeu to ba referee. The first deposit of £ 5 a side has been made to Mr Robert Dearden of Farington, but the stakes (£ 50) are to be placed in Mr Holden's hands on the morning of the day fixed for the race. A GEEAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP, distance 440 yards, will take place at the Salford Borough Gardens, on Saturday, Oct 24th, and Monday, Oct 26th; first prize £ 20, second £ 4, third £ 1; entrance Is.

DOINGS AT COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, NEAR MAN- CHESTER. WEDNESDAY, SEPT 23.— PIGEON SHOOTING.— This was a sweepstakes at 7 birds each, 21 yards rise, for single guns, with 2oz shot; and double guns 19 yards, with l joz, 80 yards boun- dary. There were three prizes to be contended for, the first being £ 10, second £ 5, third £ 2 5s, and the entry 5s each. The ground of Mr Hayes is admirably adapted for this descriptisn of sport, and as this was the first pigeon shooting contest which has taken place upon it, it must have been very gratifying to him to find no less than 51 gentlemen enrol their names, aud especially so when amongst them were not only most of the crack local shots, but also those of the two adjacent counties. The attendance numbered about 500 persons, the afternoon was fine, though a brisk wind occasionally prevailed, aad Mr Thomas Hammersley of Hulme was appointed to act as referee, but the chief drawback ( owing to it being yet early in the season for pigeon shooting) was the exceeding tameness of the birds. The hour fixed for the commencement of the sport was two o'clock, and it was continued until nearly dusk, but in consequence of the number of competitors, the contest was postponed until tho following day. On Thursday the lovers of the trigger resumed business, the early part of the afternoon beingagain fine, though the wind washigher than on Wednesday, but at half- past two the rain fell brisk. iy. We have not space to publish the whole of the names of the gentlemen who competed, and their scores, but may say that many of them exhibited skill in the use of the gun. At the close twenty gentlemen having shot all their birds, agreed to divide the first, second, and third prizes.

DOINGS AT BELLEYUE, MANCHESTER. Our pedestrian readers will have observed that, for some time past, we have not furnished reports of foot- racing at these grounds, as formerly, and for the following obvious reasons :— A few months ago, the proprietor announced his intention not to allow either pedestrian or canine contests to take place upon his course, except upon two days in each month, and even then they were to be decided before a specified hour, as he con- sidered them, in a great degree, objectionable to pleasure visi- tors. This determination was believed by those who take an interest in sport, to have a tendency ( so far as Bellevue was con- cerned) to limit the number of events; and hence, since that time, our list of " matches to come" has exhibited a total ab- sence of any notice of races to be there decided, other grounds, locally situated, having been selected. The pleasure season at the above gardens is now drawing to a close; but whether pedes- trianism will be again permitted during the forthcoming winter, and if so, whether matches will be fixed to come off there, is more than we are at present able to say, nor is it a matter with which it is our provinoe to interfere. MONDAY, SEPT 21.— HAND- BELL RINGING.— A large num- ber of visitors were present this afternoon, having assembled to listen to a hand- beil ringing contest, which took place in the large music- hall of the gardens. Seven sets of campanalogians had entered, but one ( that of Whitefield) did not make its ap- pearance, and thus the total number of competitors was reduced to 59. The prizes were— first £ 15, second £ 5, third £ 210s, and fourth £ 1. The judges appointed were Messrs H. Jukes, of Liverpool, and Gledhill, Salkeld, Mills, and Goodwin, of Man- chester. After the various sets had rang four tunes each ( two being selected by the judges, and two by themselves) the judges awarded the first prize to Holmfirth ( Yorkshire), second to Leigh ( Lancashire), third to Barnsley ( Yorkshire), and fourth to Pendleton ( Manchester). The performers generally ably ac- quitted themselves, several of the tunes being rung in excellent style, and were loudly applauded. NEW VICTORIA GEOUNDS, NEWCASTLE- ON- TYNE.— These grounds opened on Saturday and Monday, Sept 19 i. h and 21st, with the following sports, in the presence of at least 1,000 spectators, aad gave great satisfaction to all:— Quoit Match, £ 20 a side, 61 up, between the celebrated Thos. Gray of Windy Nook aad Joseph Graham of Feliingshore. After some good play on both sides, the game concluded thus: Graham 61, Gray 37. In justice to Gray, however, it should be mentioned that he had beeu ill for some time previous, and was not iti that fettle as when he played the celebrated Boardman of Salford, & c,— A Handicap Race, distance 100 yards, was next c ® n- tested for by 28 runners, for a silver watch and money prizes, The result was as follows:— First prize, Joseph Brown of Ben- well, Matthew Cowen of Newcastle second, Richard Railton of Newcastle third.— This was followed by wrestling by men of all weights, and, after some good bouts, the first prize was carried off by the celebrated light weight, Harry Ivison, of Carlisle, Thomas Lee of Carlisle second, William Reay of Dawson, Cum- berland, third; 21 contended.— The next v/ as a Quoit Handicap, distance 18 yards, 12 players, which, after some splendid play, resulted as follows:— Smeaton of Feilingshore first prize, Ivotis of Windy Nook second, and a lad from Felling third. The lad's play was the admiration of all. To show the tenacity of the mea in this part to play a game out, this handicap was not con- cluded until ten o clock at night— actually playing two hours and a half by candle light. PEDESTBIANISM AT GAEEATT- LANE.— RAY AND ROBSON.— On Monday last these metropolitans met at Mr Sadler's enclosed ground, Garratt- lane, Wandsworth. The competitors had not been subjected to a strict or regular courte of training, the match being what is termed an off- hand one. The little betting that took place on the event was at evens. Mr Sadler, the pro- prietor of the ground, acted as referee, and when this, and other preliminary arrangements had been completed, the competitors, who are both fine muscular young fellows, made their appear- ance on the course. The distance was 110 yards, for £ 5 a side, and by understandirg. the pedestrians were to start by mutual consent. Owing to this a long and tedious delay took place, the men not getting fairly away until they had been for nearly 45 minutes at the scratch. At length they got pretty well away together, Ray with a trifling lead, which advantage he held at a rattling pace until more than 80 yards of the distance had been accomplished, when Robson, to the astonishment of his oppo- nent's supporters, began to close up the gap between them in a most surprising manner, and, after a game, brilliant, but ineffec- tual struggle 011 the part of his antagonist, went in a winner by nearly two yards. HOLDEN AND POMFBET,— On Saturday, the 19th inst, a race came off at the Higginshaw Grounds, Oldham, between J. Holden of Darken aud J. Pomfret of Blackburn, the distance being one mile, and the sum at issue £ 25 a side. Some very spirited betting took place on the result, the odds at start being 6 to 4 on Holden, and Mr George Piers of Manchester officiated as referee. The race admits of an exceedingly brief description, inasmuch as Holden took the lead, kept it throughout, and won as he pleased, Pomfret giving up, dead beaten, 350 yards from home. There was a tolerably numerous attendance of specta- tors on the ground. The winner had been trained by J. Fitton of Royton, aad Pomfret had been prepared by J, Booth of Newton Heath, near Manchester. BEOMLEY AND EDWAEDS.— This match having ended in " a draw," each man gets his stakes. We have sent Edwards his some time since, and should have done the same to Bromley had we known his address sooner. We have now received it, aud the money shall be sent as directed on Tuesday next.

LEVETT AND MOUNTJOY.— From several letters which have reached us concerning this intended race, it appears that tho facts of the ease are not clearly understood.

Levett ( ac- cording to the account) posted feis money; Mountjoy did not; ? rad had Levefct'a money been forwarded to us ( the stakeholders), he woold clearly have been entitled to a forfeit.

MONDAY, SEPT 21.— The Doncaster settling drew a large attendance at " the Corner" this afternoon, and passed off satisfactorily on the whole, though two or three absentees were reported from amongst tho subscribers ( whose presence at no distant date, however, may confidently be reckoned upon), and as many from amongst the outsiders. In the absence of many bookmakers and others remaining in the North for the Ponte- fract Meeting, their accounts were settled by deputy. Our " price current" shows a somewhat lengthy list of quotations upon the Cesarewitch, but the only horses in force were the Plush colt, December, Saccharissa, Mons Dobler, and Warlock, each of which was backed with considerable spirit, the last bet booked about the favourite being 500 to 35. Victoria and Cedric, on the other hand, were by no means in such good odour as at Doncaster. THURSDAY, SEPT 24.— A very meagre attendance, and scarcely any betting. For the Cesarewitch, 1,200 to 100 was taken about Mons Dobler, who had been in great force in the City, and at Warwick and Leicester races, since Monday. CESAREWITCH.

We are authorised to contradict, in the most positive terms, the announcement made by a Sunday contemporary, that Mr Scott tried Imp6rieuse with Warlock, or any other animal, previous to her running for the Doncaster St Leger. Neither was there any ' Stable commission " to back the mare; nor did Mr Scott win one shilling by her beyond the Stakes. THE LATE DONCASTER MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE. SIB: The disgraceful scene which occurred iu the Don- caster inclosure after the race for the Park Hill, following so closely as it did ou the Acrobat one, demands the immediate at- tention of the Doncaster Corporation. Blink Bonny may or may not have been beaten on her merits, for the Leger— that's a moot point— but Lynch law must not be introduced on to the race course, and it occurs to me that a graduated scale of charges to the Stand would prevent the admission of so " motley " a group as was seen last Friday. I heard no end of grumbling on the Leger day from parties who went to see that race only at having to pay for weekly tickets, and many, no doubt, under a feeling of irritation, sold or gave away their remaining tickets regardless of the mischief they were committing from thieves and pickpockets becoming the holders. Whilst I would still continue the weekly ticket at its present price, I think day tickets for the St Leger and Cup might be issued with advantage, and it is incumbent on the Corporation to devise means for effectually preventing the recurrence of such periodical displays of blackguardism as their course is now un- fortunately notorious for, and the question must not be decided by that body on any narrow and contracted view, or the possible loss of a few pound3 in the receipts.— Yours, & c, Sept 23, 1857. SAPONACEOUS SPONGE. [ We fully concur in the foregoing suggestions, and at the same time beg to draw attention to the inefficiency of certain other arrangements for the conduct of the meeting. At no place in the kingdom are trainers, jockeys, and others entitled to free entrie to the Stand and inclosure subject to so much unnecessary trouble and annoyance as at Doncaster, and considering the Clerk of the Course's experience in these matters, we are cer- tainly surprised to find no effort made to do away with the nuisance of the ticket system which has been permitted so long to exist. The weighing room, owing to ignorant infirm old men being stationed at the doors instead of efficient policemen, was never free from interlopers throughout the meeting, and, not- withstanding the efforts of the officials, more frequently re- sembled an overcrowded bear- garden thau a place of busi- ness wherein order and regularity ought to be maintained to insure an efficient discharge of the important duties which attach to the Judge, Clerk of the Scales, and re- presentatives of the press. Of the satisfactory manner in which the police force, under the superintendence of the re- speoted chief constable Mr Etches, perform their duties here, we have too frequently recorded our opinion to be accused of un* fairness in suggesting that they should be assisted at future Leger meetings by a detachment of the A division of the Metro- politan Police, who, besides being acquainted with all the thieves, welchers, aud other improper characters by whom race courses are too frequently infested, are, by their experience at Epsom, Ascot, Goodwood, Hampton, and other meetings, more aufait in the management of such a mob as invariably assembles at Doncaster on the " Leger day" than the local police, however efficient in other respects, even if assisted by a whole army of special constables. The expense would be a mere trifle out of the enormous receipts, and the Corporation would thereby add, not only to the comfort of their visitors, but to the completeness and respectability of the Doncaster meeting.— ED.

The statement of receipts and expenditure showed that the sub- scriptions amounted to £ 19716s, and that the expenditure left a surplus of £ 14 in addition to the balance of the previous year. Mr Burrell, in proposing the toast of the " Local Committee," noticed the support given to the races by the chairman,/ Mr Parker, who was always ready to encourage every manly English sport— not only racing, but fox hunting, stag hunting, fishing, & c— not in the spirit of selfishness, but that other people might enjoy them. He had been belied in one of the minor London sporting papers, inasmuch as that the scribbler therein had stated that the whole of the interest and advantage of these races was sacrificed to the interest of one individual. This plainly meant that Mr Parker, being the proprietor of the Stand, took to himself the whole of its advantage and profit. Yet in 1853 Mr Parker gave £ 4 4s to the race fund, in 1854 £ 6 6s, in 1855 £ 6 6s and £ 3310s 7d derived from the profits of the Stand, and in 1856 £ 6 6s and £ 65 4s 4d derived from the same source. At a subsequent period of the evening Mr Barton, in responding to the toast of his health, said although the pro- moters of the races had had the abuse of a part of the press they had had the approval of the gentlemen of Essex. Mr J. F. Clark's health was afterwards given, and, in responding that gentleman observed that he had no idea there was such an excellent com- mittee in Chelmsford. He had been somewhat loth to accept the office of manager of the races, but now that he was forced into the place, he ' would endeavour to do justice. There seemed now to be a thorough racing spirit amongst the promoters of the races ; the betting men and the racing world were with them, and if a prospect of fair sport was held out, all would do well. At the Reading Meeting 156 horses ran on the two days, while at Chelmsford there were only 46, but he hoped next year there would be double this number, and that in a few years it would be a really good second- class meeting. He should like, however, to see a few alterations made. First as to the accommodation in the Stand; persons had three miles to go to the course, they expected the same admission money as at other races, and it would be well that the same accommodation should be afforded is was given elsewhere. There was also a slight alteration de- - « nnnwo As to theDrogramme, he Abdaie's siames ran.^.. ^^ _ _ i the remainder of Capt Saville's horses wulin future be trained.

Black Tommy has been sold to Mr Sutton for 2,000gs, and half the Cesarewitch aud Cambridgeshire Stakes should he win them. Tit Bit, the yearling filly by Teddington out of Surge, has arrived at E. Weaver's stables, Kinnersley Cottage, to be trained. Mr Reade has sold Mosquito to the French Government for a brood ware. THE LATE DONCASTER & FORTH- COMING FIRST OCTOBER MEETINGS. TO THE EDITOR OP BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SiE: The elaborate report of the Donoaster Meeting which kas already appeared in your columns has materially lessened the task allotted to me of commenting upon the principal events there decided. Still there wore many features during the week deserving of serious consideration, not only by the owners and trainers of horses, but also by the members of the Jockey Club, and all interested in preserving the fair conduct of English racing ; and to these points it is my intention to advert, prior to considering the Return List, which was of a quality commensurate with expectation. Doncaster, I think, Sir, will fairly admit that she is supported by her races solely, for beyond being a clean, pretty little Yorkshire town, it presents to strangers no advantage of residence, except to those who have local connections. Its Corporation is a rich one, amply endowed with funds for the promotion of sport, and of the zeal and ability of the racing committee and officials there can be no question. Still of late years Doncaster has acquired an unenviable notoriety for disturbances to which other race cours es are strangers, and the objects of attack are, or rather have been parties to whom the meeting is under the deepest obligation for the supply of horses, and who are caused to endure both insult and outrage, if according to the estimate of some low ruffian an animal does not race two days alike. Time and distance, the state of the ground, the quality of the field, are never taken into consideration by these unlettered critics, who are disposed to adopt a system of Lynch law, which, in the present day, cannot be tolerated for an instant. How is this system to be put down it may be asked P Are not raee horses aud race owners public property, and therefore liable to legiti- mate criticism ? Of course they are, and there are already ample means at the disposal of theauthorities to mark, if they think pro- per, their sense of dishonest cond uct; and Bell's Life, if I mistake not greatly, would be the first to justify them in their course. Better far, then, that the Corporation lose two or three hundred pounds by adopting a change ia the ticket system than be deprived of the patronage of stables whom it is their bounden duty to en- courage. In Acrobat's case the result of letting so many roughs into the inclosure by shilling tickets very nearly ended in de- priving the Turf of a nobleman whose countenance of it is in- valuable, and seriously injured his trainer, of whom, of all others in the world, Yorkshire had the greatest right to be proud. But, Sir, so long as the present system is in vogue, and whilst visitors are tempted by the enormous charge made for tickets on the Leger day to save any portion of its price, so long will the wives and daughters of the Yorkshire aristocracy, as well as every other person of respectahility visiting the Stand and inclosure, be insulted by the presence of those whom I can only describe as instances of " the great social evil;" but trainers and jockeys, who are en- trusted by their employers with thousands, would run the risk of being sacrificed to the brutal passions of a set of ruffians, who would never otherwise have a chance of coming in contact with them. I have dwelt thus fully and seriously upon this topic because I am aware of its importance, and how anxiously it has been considered by those noblemen who are the best friends of the meeting, and who are resolutely determined that Don- caster shall be as free from popular tumult as Epsom, Ascot, or Goodwood. I will now turn from this unpleasant topic to one of a far more agreeable nature, and glance shortly at the sport of the four days, which was all that could be desired, and uever surpassed in Yorkshire. Those who had objected to the Fitzwilliam being made a weight for age race instead of a handicap could have little cause for complaint, whea there was not a length between the four first; and so far from the performances of Vedette not being encouraging to Ignoramus's party, I fancy if the entry in John Osborne's trial book of Lady Alice was made known, it would have satisfied them they had a better horse iu Vedette than they had reckoned upon. The Champagne gave us one of the best races of the week, and in recommending your readers to stick to the public form of lork instead of that of the private one of Findon I pursued a course that was justified by the issue, which would not have been so close had Sister to Ellington been herself. Of Eclipse the less said the belter, for if a good one there have been very few like him ever seen before. The Glasgow Stakes only convinced us of what we long sus- pected, viz, that all the July form, including Gin, Cotswold, and Co, must be placed in " Schedule A," as far as the Derby is concerned. The Great Yorkshire Handicap was certainly an improvement on the Ebor, but I have witnessed better fields for it. Relapse ran on her merits, I believe, notwithstanding losers will protest to the contrary ; aud to the fact of there having been no third animal is the trial with Polestar I am inclined to attribute the disappointment of her party. With better ground than at York, and a fortnight's rest, Warlock— a most delicate horse to handle — found himself able to beat Tasmania, and the rest being early done with, the race virtually became a match between the Malton horse and mare, ending in the victory of the Knavesmire conqueror of Fisherman. The Revival Plate was as interesting as last year, and when Culcavy was seen to have made a dead heat with New Brighton, the Derby and Oaks victor was a better favourite for the big race on the following day, although many argued, and with a great show of propriety, that from Black Tommy only getting fourth with a 71b allowance, the whole form at Epsom was moderate. But it should be recollected that Black Tommy is not a good beginner, and was running out of his course, as was shown later in the week. In the Doncaster Plate, Augury, like many others in John Osborne's team, was " off," consequently Orianda's beating her was not a matter of surprise. Wednesday's tableaux of the course having been already so minutely painted, I turn from men to animals— the more im.- portant actors in the scene. The Municipal, although won by Blanche of Middlebie, was not carried off so easily as anticipated, aud Target's getting so near I think arose more from Blanche's state of health than her opponent's goodness. The St Leger, unrivalled in interest, although only boasting of a field of eleven, one of which took no part iu the race, will long be a subject of dispute in racing circles from its result being so little iu accordance with that trus, test of calculation— public running. I am aware, Sir, I may incur the derision of a portion of your readers— after what has occurred— when I state my belief, founded on the most substantial facts, that we never had a truer race run from end to end than the Leger, which is now the theme of discussion. Both the " cracks" were firm to the last moment of starting, both had trainers who had exhausted their resources of art upon them, one had achieved the greatest honours ever gained by one individual on the Turf, aud the other was of an equally ambitious temperament, and of character beyond the reach of suspicion. But no one can make sure of having their animals as they wish them on the day, and to Blink's state of health, the accident which happened to her shortly previous, the sufferings she had undergone from her teeth, which rendered her feverish aad costive, and the inability of I'Anson to prepare her as he otherwise would have done, all contributed, in my estimation, to clearly account for her defeat, and to lead me rea- sonably to suppose she was not Blink Bonny, and that next year she will demonstrate it to a certainty. Generally, Blink Bonny has run a game mare, but here the way she shut up wheu col- lared was indicative of something being amiss with her; and Vedette's running in the Cup with Black Tommy must also be " confirmation strong as proof of holy writ" of what I have asserted iu her behalf. Many insinuations have since been indulged in to the effect that the mare was suffering from an attack of " milk fever," but I am loth to conceive that a man like Mr I'Anson, after winning so largely by Blink Bonny's vie. tories in the Derby and Oaks, would, for the sake of " filthy lucre," injure his own and his mare's reputation by not trying to carry off the " Sellinger" also. Of the other " crack," Ignoramus, I shall say no more than that he caused great disappointment to a large and influential party by his want of staying powers— a failing which it is surprising to me was not discovered by a regular trial at home, for with sueh tackle at command I cordially agree with your remark, Sir, that " no mistake ought to have been made." In speak- ing of Imp< 5rieuse, I remarked that " she had improved, and ran to take advantage of the chapter of accidents," More I could not have said, as it could not have been justified by the truth, and as both tha cracks " went," her chance from her two and three year old running must be admitted to have been equal to any of the others, although after her unaccountable exhibition at York the public could not have been expected to fancy her. But, it was not by any superior speed that Imp6rieuse achieved an honour of which her owner may well bo proud, but solely by that quality which has stood him in need on a dozen different ocasions for this race, viz, conditio*!. Untried, John Scott could have very little confidence in her, but the bloom on her coat, her strong style of galloping, and her fortunate, honest, and clever jockey, were the grounds upon which he built his chance, aud the race being run exactly as last year's, his calculations proved correct, and the victories he has achieved so often for others fell at last to his own share. One would have thought it had | been more warmly greeted, but Blink Bonny had become such a " household word'.' in Yorkshire that mortification at her defeat prevented even the triumph of her neighbour being acknowledged. Of the others, Commotion's good fame was sadly marred by his utter want of heart, and in justice to those who prepared him, his condition must be admitted to have been unexceptionable. Tournament's running— how widely different to his Derby " exhibition" !— must have satisfied his owner and friends he ran on his merits this time. And repeating my conviction of the real and sole cause of Imp6rieuse's victory— which, I hear, has been a source of earnest congratulation to her owner from his numerous noble employers— and regret at the disappointment caused to his spirited owner by Anton's display of temper, which prevented his taking part in the race, I take leave for the present of the tver- to- be- remembered St Leger of 1857. The Portland Plate gave us a repetition of the splendid race of last year. Meta must be considered a fortunate mare to have such a weight meted cut to her after her Spring running which was evidently not forgotten by her party. The Stand and Corporation Plates, beyond indicating consum- mate ability on the pars of the handicappers, and exposing Rosa Bonheur'a chance for the Cambridgeshire in anything but a " rosy" light to those who exhibited so much eagerness to " get on " beforehand, call for no speeial comment. Thursday, as you with great propriety remarked, ought to be strengthened by the Portland Plate, which is too much of a good thing on the Leger day, as the Eglinton and Two Year Old Stakes are the only items of more than momentary interest. In the former, Saunterer, quite at home at the distauce, beat Sister to Ellington, Princess Royal, Mainstay, and Old Times, apparently so cleverly ( though it struck me that he tired very much at the finish) as to make the public, oblivious of the fact of the Champagne winner being " rather . off," infatuated enough to back him on the following day against Skirmisher in a longer journey. Consequently the " black ' un's" admirers had to pay dearly for their whistle. The Two Year Old Sweepstakes that followed was a source of more disappointment to the great Northern stable than any race of the week, for, although carried off by Ditto, whom I took the liberty of recommending to your readers at York, yet it was evident that if a little more use had been made of the favourite the " good thing" would have been landed. Friday's list was a fair one for the wind- up, and, but for the atrocious conduct of the mobocracy, would have afforded a most agreeable afternoon's sport. The Match between Meta and Night Ranger, made without the knowledge of the trainer of the latter, still showed the mare to be the best of the pair, as she was at Catterick, with four pounds more in her favour. In the Doncaster Stakes, neither of John Osborne's being " quite the thing," Skirmisher had it all his own way. The Park- hill, in which Imperieuse did not show, was regarded with no ordi- nary excitement, as it would tell us whether there was any truth in Blink Bonny's reported lameness. When brought out your readers must admit she looked several pounds better than on the St Leger day, aud, having done better since then, she seemed to have recovered herself, so as to be able to give the wretched animals she had to meet any amount of weight. She won, of course, iu a canter; but although Charlton was naturally desirous of showing what the mare could do, I question the prudence of his winning so far, though of course he could not for a moment have been cognisant of the temper of the crowd. However, for the future, similar exhi- bitions, I trust, will be repressed, or the consequences will be fatal to the meeting, as I have already pointed out. If the Doncaster Cup failed to bring out a great field, it never- theless led to as good a race as we have often seen for it, and with a more experienced jockey on Black Tommy the latter might have floored the champion of the Aske stable, which has been fortunate in winning the Doncaster Cup two years in sue" cession by " flukes." In concluding my observations upon these excellent four days' racing, let me conjure the authorities to reform the ticket system, and strengthen the Thursday's card with the Portland Plate, and then they may boast of Doncaster being second to no race meeting throughout " MerrieEngland.'' The Newmarket First October Meeting commences on Tues" day, and although the list is not a very strong one it is an im- provement on many previous years, and the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire betting will very likely attract a large Ring be- sides the habituis of Newmarket. Eight races will be found in the programme for Tuesday, which, if all fill, will be better fare than usual. The Trial Stakes, a weight for age race for a Handicap Sweep, stakes being open, the Eastern Counties Handicap first tries our guessing powers. The weights appear to have baen fairly enough distributed, but as the public have not as yet manifested their preference for any individual animal, I can only indicate my belief that Olympus, Tam o'Shanter, or Flyaway may turn out the winner. The Three Year Old Triennial has forty nominations, but we shall be fortunate if we get more than six or seven runners. The most formidable trio appear to be Chevalier d! Industrie, Bird in Hand, and Beechnut, and although Bird in the Hand is no great " flyer," I think he may. be able by winning this stake to recompense his owner for his disappointments in the Spring with him. The Buckenham Stakes, a subscription betwen the Duke of Bedford, Mr Bowes, Lord Derby, and Lord John Scott, will in all probability be contended for by Pampa, Star of the East, and Blanche of Middlebie, and with all due respect for the latter's pretensions, I shall not be surprised to witness " The Star" again in the ascendant. The Grand Duke Michael looks a certainty for either Anton or Turbit. The Hopeful Stakes has twenty- five subscribers, of which the most formidable are Hepatica, Venetia, and Abron, and although Hepatica won the Doneaster Nursery last week very easily, I must now give the preference to the Baron's filly, who when backward at Ascot beat Lord of Lorn in the New Stakes, whilst Hepatica was behind Mr Merry's colt in the Champagne. In the match between Comquot and Aster, I see no reason at present why their spring running should be reversed. Wednesday has five stakes still open, and the Four Year Old Triennial is the first for notice. There are 65 subscribers to it, and we may see Intimidation, Walmer, Victoria, Pitapat, Aleppo, Druid, and perhaps Melissa stripped for it, but the issue appears to be confined to the old opponents, Pitapat and Aleppo, and as the former meets his Ascot conqueror on 5lb better terms he ought to turn the tables upon Aleppo. The St Leger, like the " Duke Michael," is deficient in high names, and there is no animal in the entry that can interfere with Skirmisher. The Granby has nine nominations, that of The Flying Duke being the most promising of success. On Thursday the liat promises half- a- dozen engagements and three matches, but the Three Year Old Triennial and the Rut- land are the only events that are at present closed. The result of the former will of courno be mainly influenced by Tuesday's running, but at the present moment I see nothing to beat Maid of Kent, Star of the East, and Ancient Briton. In the Rutland, Allspice may have as good a chance as anything. In the matches, I prefer Rhisus to Aster, Humming Bird to Pampa, and Anton, from his Derby form, should be able to give Loyola tour pounds and a beating.— Yours, & c, OBSERVER.

Stewards : Lord Londesborough, B. H. Jones, Esq, and the Hon S. Hawke. Judge and Handicapper: Mr R. Johnson Starter: Mr W. Elliott. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. H. Peart.' This meeting can boast of one of the best lists ever issued at Pontefract, to which the liberal sum of £ 500 was added for the two days. The entries were considerably larger than usual, and we were led to anticipate great things from the new manage- ment, but it will be seen that the fields turned out small, although the'contests, in one or two instances, were close and in- teresting. The course was in fine order, except in the bottom alongside of the railway, which was heavy. The weather was highly favourable, and the general attendance immense, but the Grand Stand was very badly attended, the receipts not being quite so good as last year. We hear that the committee intend to give 100 sovs to a new stake next year for two year olds, with certain penalties, to be called the Grimston or the Badsworth Stakes, aud to which nearly twenty names are down already. It is also in contemplation to alter the time of holding the meet- ing, as the managementare fully convinced that following so closely upon the Doncaster gathering will not answer their purpose. Pontefract, with one bf the finest courses in the north of Eng- land, a liberal race committee, and supported by the gentlemen of the neighbourhood, ought to command success. It will be seen that Lord Londesborough's now purchase, Ellermire was twice successful, Rosa Bonheur once. MONDAY, SEPT 21.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added; the winner to pay 5 sovs towards expenses; one mile; 3 subs. Lord Londesborough's b m Ellermire by Chanticleer, 5 yrs, 9st J.

Stewards : Lord John Scott, Capt Christie, H. Johnstone, Esq, and the Mayor of Leicester. Judge : Mr J. Clark. Starter : Mr E. Hibburd. Clerk of the Course : Mr Marshall. The religious crusade so long waged against the continuance of these races having very properly subsided, and a better and more liberal view having been taken by all parties, Mr Marshall, the persevering Clerk of the Course, was enabled to get up a more attractive bill of fare, and the entries exhibited a marked contrast to any former meeting, the racing generally being ex- tremely good, and, in many instances, close and interesting. The course, from the recent rain, was in admirable order, aud great pains have been taken to improve the turns, so as to prevent a repe- tition of the accidents that have so repeatedly taken place here. Owing to the fineness of the weather, the attendance on Tues- day was extremely numerous, and the Stand Inclosure exten- sively patronised by fashionables and bookmakers, who generally take this meeting en route to Manchester. The card on Tuesday contained half a dozea items, commencing with the Ladies' Plate, which was won without an effort by Barbarity. For the Leicestershire Handicap nine out of the sixteen left in put in appearance, and Weatherglass was made the favourite, but running unkindly he was beaten cleverly by Evelyn. During the interval between this and the two year old race, the members of the ring were amused by a pugilistic encounter between some of the members of the committee, which was thrice repeated, and to the sober and respectable visitors was anything but a creditable interlude, considering the position of the performers. Half- a- dozen sported silk for the Two Year Old Stakes, and Mainstay, despite her 71b penalty, won in a canter. The County Cup was another success for Barbarity, and Mr Stevens followed up his success by winning the Juvenile Stakes with Flora Mac- donald. The Belvoir Stakes, won by Kingfisher, brought the day's sport to an end. On Wednesday the attendance was, if anything, larger than on the previous day, but the sport was indifferent, and noticeable only for the success of the favourites in every race. The meeting was ably conducted throughout. TUESDAY, SEPT 22.— The LADIES' PLATB of 30 sovs, added to a S weepstakes of 5 sovs each; 6 subs. Mr Stevens's b f Barbarity, by Simoom, 3 yrs, 7st 71b....

After rounding the first turn, Druid made the running, followed by the Gilbert Gurney filly, E pirns colt, Barbarity, and Lampedo, to half way down the hill, where he was pulled back, and the lead left with Mr Ongley's mare, who carried it on to the turn into the straight. Barbarity and Druid then passed her, and ran a good race home, the favourite winning by half a length, the Gilbert Gurney filly a bad third. The Epirus colt, who slipped up at the second turn, was last Run iu lmin 59sec.

Evelyn showed in advance into the straight, when Pryor rushed to the front, and carried on the running past the Stand, when he was followed by Saraband, Rotterdam, and Weatherglass, which four went on together to the farther side, followed by Oakball, who headed the rear division. Half way down the hill Pryor, and Saraband beat a retreat, and Evelyn, emerging from the ruck, once more resumed the lead, which she kept to the end, winning cleverly by half a length, Oakball who was not persevered with, being beaten three lengths for second.

We have before noticed the capital management of this little meeting under its present staff, and though contending with the " brimstone crew," the principal inhabitants pull together, and this year subscribed more liberally than ever, the retention of racing being in fact of equal importance to the borough as the great fair that annually precedes it.

Rous, Col Berkeley ( Scots Fusilier Guards), Lieut- Col Strauge, C. B. ( R. A.). Lieut- Col Woodford ( Rifle Brigade), Major Brown ( 4th Light Dragoons), Capt H. I. Baillie ( Royal Horse Guards). Hon Sec: Capt George ( 4th Light Dragoons). Judge: Mr Clark. Starters Mr E. Hibburd. Clerk of the Course : Mr S. Merry. Clerk of the Scales : Mr J. Dunn. The grand steeple chases at Brixworth, which iu March last went off with brilliancy and eclat unsurpassed in the annals of military sport, will alike be remembered in the revival of field games at home, after a protracted and disastrous conflict, as for participation therein of our brave allies on the other side of the water. The latter, fully reciprocatiug the spirit which had thrown open the lists in Northamptonshire, thereupon lost no time in inviting their brethren in arms to a return jumping bout on the shores of France, whieh, it will be remembered, was also celebrated in the spring with proverbial native ardour. Elated with the success of the chase, the army and navy officers of England next resolved to crown the autumn of the year with yet more gay achievements in the legitimate line. Ac- cordingly, in May last, was produced, under the able super- vision of the lion and gallant secretary, a most attractive programme, embracing eight races, some of them appro- priately named after the principal scenes of Crimean war- fare, with an especial one in honour of the general whose deeds of daring at the " erowniug carnage" constitute one of the highest reeords of oar military fame. These were likewise open to our Gallic neighbours; four events, re- stricted to professionals, also diversifying the scheme. The importance attached to the meeting at the onset may be esti- mated by the avidity with which 450 sovs were subscribed in the vicinities of Leamington and Warwick, to secure its celebra- tion at the latter place, where, prior to the commencement of the late war, regimental races were wont to be held. As, how- ever, the best laid scheme " gang oft agee," so in this instance, when preliminaries were just on the eve of completion, news of the accursed Indian revolt, its sickening atrocities, and calls for revenge submerged other considerations save those of national vindication and help for the defenceless. Anticipations, conse- quently were cast down, when of officers now at or en route to the East, seven attached to one corps, and fcalf- dozens each to others, were pledged to " assist" at the sports in question. Under such circumstances, and looking at the wretched entries, and a most unwarrantable interference with Leicester, it would have been wise to have declared the affair void, or at all events have it cut down to a single day, to follow the Warwick October meeting. Parties, however, were divided on these points, and hence the determination that, " come weal or woe," military races once established should not again drop through at the mere prospect of a temporary failure, if indeed the word is applicable, as after the first sad blow was struok, nobody in reality could have been disappointed. The required number of starters not going to the post saved the public cash in five races, a result sufficiently apparent before proceeding to the course that might have excused the exaction of seven shillings per head admission to the Stand, a sum indignantly protested against by well known ring- goers at the door, and who rather than submit to the figure determined to remain outside. The course and Stand on Wed- nesday together presented but a very middling show of company, that on the latter being confined to a few ladies and a sprink- ling of military gentlemen, bookmakers generally evidently pre- ferring Leicester and Walsall, held on the same day. An unin- teresting match for the Balaklava Stakes, won by Courtenay, opened the ball, which was succeeded by the upsetting of a " pot" on Lymington for the 20 sovs Handicap, bv Rialto, his solitary opponent. It was understood that had a rider been procurable for King of the Cobblers, the handicap next on the card would also have gone off in a match between him and Border Chief; there being, however, no remedy at hand, the latter was weighed for to walk over for the forfeits, but with an eye to an event on the morrow, the " canter'' at the last moment was assigned to his Majesty. Six sported siik for the Nursery Handicap, which, besides producing a slashing con- test, excited no little curiosity prior to the start, owing to Bunay weighing for Yaller Gal, by Woolwich, long after the uumbers were up, joining the others already at the post, and then returning home by a short cut. The mare was engaged in the next race, but an absentee in Yaller Gal, by Siricol, appear- ing on the card tor that about to be decided, hence the mistake, which was only detected after two or three false starts had taken place. Eardrop, as anticipated, pulled off the five- furlong han- dicap ; and so terminated a delightful afternoon in respect to outdoor enjoyment. A heavy shower at noon alone marred the weather on Thursday, when the arrival of numerous speculators from Leicester enlivened the proceedings, during which we were enabled to note the appended transactions on future events :— Cesarewitch : 15 to 1 agst M. Dobler ( tk), 25 to 1 agst December ( tk freely), 25 to 1 agst Warlock, 1,000 to 35 agst Black Tommy, 39 to 1 agst Rosatie, 40 to 1 agst Cedric— all taken. Derby : 1,000 to 50 agst Ditto, The thin muster of mili- tary to- day was accounted for by the field day at Aldershott. The Inkerman Stakes, for which three were entered, being de- clared off by consent, the racing was resumed with the Windham Handicap, which Miss Harkaway snatched out of the fire fro^ Barbarity, whose clever little rider, after a fast run rs % seemed to tire at the finish. Commotion, engaged in succeeding handicap, had arrived, but, not putting in an appearance, it proved an easy victory for Border Chief. In the Fifty Sovs Plate Affghan, backed by his party for a trifle, bowled over Mary Copp and the largest field of the meeting, which concluded with a merry spin for the Gentlemen's Handi- cap, wherein another much fancied thing in Jessie was spoilt by Border Chief, a rank outsider this journey. Capt George, who superintended personally the military portion of the business, with his usual courtesy and attention to the press, informed us that he has already obtained a flattering number of subscribers to the cross country events of 1858. The more laborious duties were ably discharged by the respective officials. Mr S. Clark judged, and Mr H. Hibburd started, on the first day, and the brothers of each officiated on the second, when, we had nearly omitted to mention, the charge to the Stand was very properly reduced to 5s.

They ran thus to the turn, where the first- men- tioned four took close order, Geneva holding a slight lead to the half distance, where she was in trouble, and Repute took up the running, having at least three parts of a length the best of it at the Stand, opposite which Happy Prince challenged, and getting up in the last two strides, won on the post by a head ; the third finishing a neck from the second, a head in advance of the fourth, a wide interval separating these from the others.

After passing the Stand Miss Harkaway was pulled back leaving Barbarity and Mr Merry's filly in immediate waiting on Little Tom. The last mentioned trio closing at the T. Y. C. post, ran level to the Star close, from whence Barbarity, with a clear lead, was followed to inBide the distance by Little Tom. The latter then died away, and Miss Harkaway coming again at the same moment, gave the favourite the go- by at the lower end of the Stand, and getting up to the leader in the last stride, " nobbed " her on the post by a head ; two lengths each dividing second, third, and fourth ; the others cantering in.

Less than thirty years ago Kilkee was a poor fishing village of some half- dozen wretched hovels; it now can count its inhabi- tants by thousands, and has become the Brighton of the West; the natural beauty of its site, on a velvet strand, within a rocky inlet of the Atlantic, combined with the wild and majestic cliff scenery, extending on the south to the mouth of the Shannon, and on the north to the celebrated cliffs of Moher, attracting each succeeding year visitors in greatly increased numbers. The easiest and shortest route to it is from Limerick, per steamer, on the Shannon, to Kilrush, from which it is distant by read nine statute miles, and the time occupied ( nearly four hours) might be greatly shortened if better boats were put on. If the speed, however, was none of the quickest, no complaiat could be made of the charges, the moderation of which ought to put many a railway company to the blush, horses being conveyed for 5s, and passengers at equally moderate prices. When the railway is completed to Foynes the journey will be shortened a couple of hours, asd should Kilkee go on increasing at the rate it has for the last few years, a railway between it and Kilrush, which is already in contemplation, might be made to pay quite as well as that between Waterford and Tramore. To Major Armstrong, the principal proprietor of the town, is due the credit ef establishing the races; one of the finest courses in Ireland, and perhaps the very best turf, being formed under the super- intendence of his very active and painstaking agent, Mr R. Crawley, within half a mile of the town, and close to the cliff known as Look- out Hill, an elevation commanding the most magnificent views, and forming a natural stand, which, at race tame, was crowded from base to pinnacle with the stalwart pea- santry of Clare and Kerry, and considering the very remote position of Kilkee it was astonishing to see such large numbers congregated. The sport on both daj s was pretty good, particu- plarly on the first, when six horses started for the Handicap, ' Lwhich The Tattler pulled off, after an unprecedented run of ill luck, by a head only from The Nore, who, had she come a little sooner, the shifty gentleman would doubtless have cut it as in all his previous races. For the Steeple Chase Handicap there was an excellent race until The Old Screw blundered, after which Bandy Bet had it all her own way, notwithstanding a nasty cut on the off stifle, got from a stake, with which some of the banks were faoed. Confidence afterwards won the Kilkee Welter Cup without any trouble, with which the first daj's amusement was brought to a close. The racing on Thursday was limited to two events, for the first of which, owing to a series of refusals, there was little or no contest, but to make amends far it the Welter Plate was contested with a severity rarely equalled in races of the kind, May Morning and his plucky owner, both from " the kingdom" over the Shannon, coming in for a regular ovation when weighed out by the clerk of the scales. WEDNESDAY, SEPT 16.— A HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 added; the second to save his stake; the winner to pay 5 sovs to the fund; two miles ; 10 subs.

After two failures, occasioned by the restiveness of Little Arthur, the lot were got off in close order, Sunshine with the lead, which he only held for a few strides, when Little Arthur rushing past him, made play at a strong pace for half a mile, when he swerved out of the course. The lead was then taken by Sunshine, Arab Chief lying next to within half a mile of home, wheH The Tattler ran into the second place, followed by The Nore. At the distance Sunshine was beaten, and The Nore joining issue with The Tattler, a close and exciting contest ensued, the latter winning on the post by a head, the Arab Chief a bad fourth. The VISITORS' STAKES ( Handicap) of 4 sovs each, with 50 added ; the winner to pay 5 sovs to the fund ; three miles, over the Steeple Chase Course ; 9 subs.

Meany 0 Betting : Even between Bandy Bet and The Old Screw. All got well ever the two first fences, but at the third— a 4- feet wall— Pretty Boy fell a burster, Meany luckily getting clear of him. Bandy Bet then took the lead and made play at a steady pace, jumping in the finest style, to the fence beyond the brook in the second round, where The Screw got within a couple of lengths of her, but blundering at the fence he lost some thirty lengths, which he was afterwards unable to make good, and Bandy Bet won by a distance. The KILKEE WELTEE CUP, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, with 20 added by the Stewards ; 14st 71b each ; gentle- men riders ; three miles ; 3 subs. Mr W. R.

The winner was afterwards put to auction, and bought in for 42 guineas, 12 of which went to the fund.

The Turk then assumed the lead, with May Morning alongside, a splendid contest between them continuing to the last wall, which the latter took slightly in advance, and drawing away from The Turk, won at last rather cleverly by two lengths; Confidence, who had previously made up his lost ground, and for a long time ran in a very forward position, finishing a bad third, Hebe being close with him, and Warlike beaten off.

MONMOUTH RACES. Stewards: The Duke of Beaufort and T. W. Booker Blakemore, Esq, M. P. Clerk of the Scales: Mr Beckiagham. Evidence of what perseverance can achieve in conducting race meetings may be well adduced from the success which attended that of Monmouth this year, and glorious is the contrast it pre- sents to certain we have had to chronicle where party prejudice and puritanical sentiment were allowed to have their weig" 11 opposing the progress of sport. The dignitaries of Montiioutn. ecclesiastical included, assisted rather than opposed the meeting, and a merrier peal of bells was never heard than tnat which issued from the old church tower on each morning or tne races. The Duke of Beaufort, by accepting the stewardship, also lent important aid to the meeting, and in presenting a handsome Cup afforded an inducement to owners of horses to enter the lists. The opening of the railway from Hereford ana Newport contributed greatly to the large attendance, which included a great many of the fair sex, and the course was lined with carriages on both days. The committee have acted wisely in abolishing heat races as far as possible, and they would have expunged them altogether from the j pro- gramme, but that the inhabitants like " most for money, ' and so yielding to that emphatic sentiment they retained one race or the sort in each day's card. Too much praise eannot be awarded for the praiseworthy manner in which the meeting has been carried out, but we regret to find the authorities so feebly sup- ported by the townspeople, who, although deriving great benefit from the races, refuse, with but few exceptions, to contribute to their maintenance. The sport, as will be seen from our sub- joined detail, was of a fair average character, and well repaid the exertions of the committee. The officials discharged their several duties with efficiency, and the decisions of Sir Charles Morgan, who officiated as judge, together with the starting of Captain Jones, gave universal satisfaction. THURSDAY, SEPT 24.— The MONMOUTHSHIRE STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, and only 3 if declared, with 40 added; one mile seven furlongs ; over the New Course; 20 subs, 10 of whom declared.

An objection was made to the winner on the ground that he was not bred in Monmouthshire, and consequently not entitled to the 5lb allowance, as specified in the conditions.

" MY DEAR FARQUHARSON: It is with extreme rLretthat I sit down to write to you en the present occasion - after the many years of kindness and friendly feeling in which we have met, I have been ( in respect of the former)^ espedally benefited and more especially this last year, where you have shown ™ ^ IZt^ L^ t^, -/ ar as_ yony could, myTKTn THE CHASE. THE B. V. F. H. AND MR FARQUHARSON. Mr Farquharson's determination to give up hunting the ex- tensive country over which he has presided for the last half- cen- tury has created a considerable amount of excitement in Dorset and Somerset. A meeting of members and friends of the B. V. F. H. was held at Henstridge Ash Inn on Wednesday week, Sir Henry Ainslie Hoare in the chair. Lord Portman ( Lord Lieutenant of Somerset), Mr Digby ( of Sherborne Castle), Mr Bullock Swyte, Mr Marwood Yeatman, Major Stanley, and others were present, and after the chairman had explained that the chief reasons for their assembling were to disclaim hostility to Mr Farquharson » and to decide on future steps, the Hon Sec to the Hunt, Mr Henry Messiter, read the following correspondence, which fully explains the preliminary proceedings in this unpleasant but ex- citing affair " Sherborne Castle, May 1st, 1857. " MY DEAR FARQUHARSON : In the first place i want to thank jou most sincerely for your kind endeavours to make your hunt- ing appointments suit my convenience as much as possible through the last season. Allow me to say I am very sensible of your kindness in this way. But now I do find I get so little hunting through the greater part of the season, either for my- self or any friends that may be staying with me, situated as I am quite at the extremity of your country, that I am em- boldened to ask you now to help me in ferming a more extended country for the B. V. H. I want to establish them as a regular three or, if I could, four days a week pack, so as to be always sure of some hunting without going a long distance for it. Now, there are some of your outlying coverts that I think, if you would let them hunt, would form a very fine country for them, with what they at present have, without hurting your country in the least. Now, what I would ask you to consent to is this— let them draw Plumley Wood, the Dorsetshire Holts, my coverts, the Holnest Coverts, and Clifton Wood ; if you would give us Coker Wood so much the better, but I will not ask it of you. Those I have mentioned are, I think, only outlying coverts for your hounds to go down to, and which, by being more regularly and frequently hunted than they are at present, would very much improve the running qualities of eur foxes in both countries. You will, I am sure, kindly understand that it is a great object for me, in delicate health as I am, to get my hunting regularly and certainly through the season with as little fatigue as possible; and it is for this reason that I wish now to get a pack of hounds hunting regularly round me through the season. My two large covers of Honeycombe and Whitfield have had hounds in them only twice this season. If you should feel disposed to meet me in this matter I will exert myself to the utmost to prevail on Mr Drax to preserve foxes for you in the Charborough country, which I should think would- be a great desideratum for you, as coming within range of your home kennel; at least, I know myself that if I kept hounds, nothing should I desire so much as to hunt always from my own house. " I hope this may find you quite well, and Mrs Farquharson much better; and, trusting you may look favourably on the arrangement I have proposed to you, pray believe me, with Mrs Digby's and my best wishes for yourself and Mrs Farquharson— always very truly yours, " G. D. W. DIGBY." " Langton, May 4,1857. MY DEAR DIGBY : I should be most happy to oblige you if I could do so; but I cannot, I am sorry to say, upon public grounds, accede to the proposal contained in your letter of the 1st instant, " For fifty years during which I kept hounds, I have endea- voured to hold the country entire, and if I were now to separate it, I should feel that I was not acting in accordance with the rights and laws of fox hunting, which I have so long endea- voured to maintain. I should also feel, to say nothing of the injury to my own sport, that I should be cutting off the best portion of the Vale country, and creating a oause of contention for future masters as to the stopping of earths and boundary. ' « My hounds have, as you say, only been twice in Whitfield and Honeycombe during the past season ( a severe frost with snow having prevented the first day of meeting at the latter place), and why ? Because of the want of foxes. If you will give orders to have the foxes strictly preserved, I shall gladly fix to meet there as often as I can find a fox, as I also shall at any covert within your reach, if by so doing I can accommodate you. " I thank you very much for your offer of exerting yourself to prevail upon Mr Drax to preserve foxes for me in Charborough country. With Mrs Farquharson's and my kind regards to Mrs Digby and yourself, believe me very sincerely yours, " J. J. FABQUHARSON." " Sherborne Castle, May 7,1857. " MY BEAR FABQUHARSON : I am very sorry indeed to find you think you cannot, on public grounds, meet my views. I certainly based my case to you very much on private grounds, and I am very much obliged to you for the kindly spirit in which you have answered that application; but now I must try to answer your objection on public grounds. There are only six months we can give to fox hunting. Is it not very hard on the public on this side of the county to say they shall be without hounds for three of those months ? We feel it to be so I can assure you. Then, again, are you correct in sayitag that you have endeaveured to keep a country or fox hunting district together for fifty years f Is it not rather three or four countries which you have endeavoured to amalgamate into one, and which very excessive range of country has proved the bane and antidote to the sport which such a liberal and magnificent expenditure on your part should have produced. It has been proved impos- sible for any one pack of hounds to huntlsucn an extent of country, and the consequence has been that in parts of it the residents have refused or ceased to preserve the foxes as you had a right to expect they would do. That I know to have been the reason in many instances. Now I should like, with many other sportsmen, to see an end put to such an unsatisfactory state of things; and I am willing to bear my part in establishing a second pack, to assist you in carrying out that which you have so handsomely been endeavouring to do for so many years off your own bat, but which it was impossible for any one pack to effect. I think, if you would kindly meet me in this matter, I might be able to assist you in improving your home country, and I think I am bound at the same time to tell you fairly that I am not prepared to sit down quietly and contented with only three months' hunting out of the six; and I do still hope to find that you are willing to co- operate with me in carrying out my views with regard to the hunting of this part of the country. " With Mrs Digby's and my kind regards to yourself and Mrs Farquharson, pray believe me always, my dear Farquharson, very truly yours, " G. D. W. DIGBY." . " Langton, May, 1857. " MY DEAR DIGBY : I am still of opinion that I should not be justified in making such a division of the lower country as yeu have proposed. Having not a pack of hounds established on the eastern side of Sherborne, I think those who live on that side of the country ought not to complain of being left three months out of the six without hounds. " Mr Hare, I believe, hunted four days a week. " When the lower country was fuller of foxes than it now is, I always found it required a certain degree of rest during the season. " If you will refer to my letter, you will see that I said'I had endeavoured to hold the country entire'— alludiag, of course, to the part in question. " Hunting as I have done, I have found the range of country not too great— indeed, there was a time when I had a much larger extent, more foxes, and as much sport; and I am quite satisfied that two packs of hounds cannot hunt the lower country, so that any division of it would be destructive to both packs. " My hounds have had, I conceive, as large, or a larger, share of sport during their existence than any pack in England, and therefore I cannot see how the term ' unsatisfactory' can be applicable. " I am sorry that I cannot co- operate with you in carrying out your views in regard to giving up a portion of my lower couutry; respect to the appointments of your hounds. ' as J ? ow 5nd that y° u are not to be prevailed unon to meet the wishes of myself aud others in the lower part of tte country ( if I may not say of the upper also)- knowing as I do that the feelings of some of our mutual friends have bleu made known to you, as well as the wishes of those gentlemen generally residing in the lower part of the country, and especiaUy by the requisition lately presented to you- I do'now feelobl | ed to take a more decided course in the matter. I must tell vou that I am not prepared to remain satisfied that we resid rg on the Sh^ borne side of the caunty should have regular hunting onlv through three months of the season, instead of ix. so that it hM been for some time said " that it is not worth While to k^ n oZr^^' iHD^ shire." I must therefore look to some other mode of procuring a continuous course of fox huntine throughout the season, and the only mode ( I regret to sav itUhat remains to me of doing so, is by begging you not to draw my coverts and toglve them to a pack that willjhunt them regulariy through the season. I wish I could see any possibility of vow doing so; but, with the extent of country which vou hoTd T know it is perfectly impossible. I regret the more that T shnn'lH have been forced to take this step by the refiecTon a y0 ™ look on it as an unkiudly act on my part towards voursel f • but I can honestly say that I feel it as In act ofdu^ toS the part of the country in which I reside, and as such, more than on any other ground, I have now determined on taking it I am very sorry to find that it has been said by some mem- bers of your hunt that I was acting in a spirit of hostUi^ to- wards yourself, and intended to take frotn you anv coverts I may possess, or obtain by purchase, and lying within the cirote of your upper country I have never thought of sich a thfng ® I have over used any language that warranted such an inter- pretation ; all I wish to do is to secure a sufficient extent of country to give the B. V. H. three days a week in the lower part of Dorsetshire and Somersetshire ; and I wish to do this in the most liberal spirit towards you- that is, one not of taking away! but rather, if possible, of adding to jour means of sport; so much so, that if I have any covert in the circle of your upper country that I can oblige you by planting gorse or doing any- thing to keep the covert more quiet, I will take it out of the tenant's hands, and plant it or keep it for you solely. I am following this course of proceeding in my country about home, and I am equally ready to do anything I can to advance and mo- mote your sport in any part of your country. " As I believe I stated to you in my first letter, I should have liked you very much to have given us up the line of country in- cludmg Chfton Wood and Coker Wood, as both are coverts which, with your extent of lower country, are not of any value to you; but, in the requisition, we have only asked for what was absolutely necessary for us and inconvenient for you to hunt N9W, my dear Farquharson, whatever may be the issue of this discussion, I have only to say that I hope that it may not disturb those friendly relations in which we have always lived, and that we may both yet meet in the Dorsetshire Vale, happy to hear of the sport of our respective packs, and to enjoy that sport reciprocally. 13 " Pray believe me, also with Mrs D.' s and my kind regards to yourself and Mrs F., ever very truly yours, 8 , R ,, . " G. D. W. DIGBY." Mr DIGBY, in proposing the first resolution, said this cor- respondence sufficiently explained the feelings in which he en- tered on the correspondence. He entirely disclaimed all inten- tion of exciting acrimony or exhibiting hostility, but the inefficiency with which his covers had been hunted by Mr Far- quharson compelled him to take the steps he had taken. Mr YEATMAN instanced several cases in which portions of country had been given up. Lord Macclesfield took from Mr Drake part of the Oxfordshire country, equal to one day a week, and gave it to Mr Phillips; Mr Packe took a part of the Leices- tershire country, Southgrove and West Woods were taken from the Craven and given to Mr Smith, and hunted by him from 1831 to 1836; Col Wyndham took the Tetworth country from General Wyndham; Mr Penruddock transferred his covers to the Wilt- shire Hounds, so also did Lord Arundel; Turnworth, in Dorset was given by its owner to Mr Drax. who also took possession of Holnest in spite of Mr Farquharson. Lord PORTMAN said Mr Farquharson had himself given up portions of his country to Mr Hall; he gave a day in the Caundle Holts to Mr Chaffin and Mr Andrews; he gave a day in the Cranborne Chase, and he continued the permission to Mr Fred Grove, Sir Francis Sykes, Mr Tom Grove, and, lastly, to himself; to Mr Tatchell, too, he gave a part of the Somerset Holts, Mr Farquharson's plea was, he received the country as an entire country, but when he began, in 1806, he hunted the South Wilts. Then he got Mr Humphry Sturt's country, and the two packs were heard at one time crying, the one on one side of a village, the other on the other. Then he succeeded to the count ries held by Mr Philips and Mr Grosvenor. Here then were four distinct countries obtained at different times, and an old sportsman now dead had told him he remembered six packs of hounds in the county at one time. But not only did he not receive the country as an entirety, but he would be unable to resign what he became possessed of. Mr Wyndbam had taken some of the South Wilts. Part of Mr Humphry Sturt's country had been taken bv the B. V. F. H. Of the Grosvenor country he held only Hyde, and Mr Philips's country was not entire. The noble lord accused the huntsman of Mr Farquharson with fox killing to save himself the trouble of fox hunting, and concluded an effective speech bv ex- pressing a hope that Mr Farquharson would make a graceful concession, which his friends would know how to appreciate. The resolutions will be found in our advertising columns. EAST KENT HOUNDS- DESTRUCTION OF FOXES. MR EDITOR : Since, with a stanchness and straightforward, ness highly to be appreciated, you are ever ready to take notice of transactions of a sporting character, allow me to ask you to give insertion to the following few lines in your next impression.— Faithfully yours, JOHN FAGGE. Mystole, Thursday, Sept 24,1857. " Mystole, Thursday, Sept 24,1857. " SIRS : Things generally find their own level, and it is wisely ordained that such should be the case, for then the caps can be placed upon the heads that properly ought to wear them* It is now correctly ascertained that you and Mr James Newport were the gentlemen who, three years ago, caused the foxes to be dug out and destroyed in West Wood. As both of you stepped out of your own domain, each severally to achieve his darling object, it is not out of place to ask when you purpose extending your peregrinations into the Midland Counties, for I am sure that the noblemen, gentlemen, owners, and occupier9 in those districts will bestow every due honour and respect upon the philanthropic strangers, and receive them with that courtesy, ease, and affability, which their patriotic gallantry so richly deserves.— I have the honour to be your faithful servant " JOHN FAGGE.

CHELTENHAM.— Lord Fitzhardinge's Foxhounds commence hunting the Cheltenham country in November. Foxes are very plentiful. His lordship, we regret to add, is gradually sinking, and his dissolution is daily expected. The staghounds com- mence regular hunting in the early part of October. Fourteen fine red deer have been presented to the master, W. H. White, Esq, and arrived at the Cheltenham Paddocks on Monday last. The first meet will be at Andoversford. The harriers have already commenced operations, and have met with excellent sport. THE QUORN HOUNDS.— These hounds made a cub- hunting excursion OH Monday morning last, and, we are happy to state, found plenty of the right sort, at Kegworth and Lockington Covers. There were no fewer than eleven on foot, two of which sufficed to blood and initiate the young ones. On their way home they called at Whatton Gorse, and found plenty at home. On dit that Sir John Trollope is to hunt the north- east portion of the Cottesmore country this season, and to have his kennels at By tham. The Devon and Somerset Staghounds will meet on Tuesday at Mounsey Hill Gate, and on Friday at Simonsbath, at half- past ten. TROTTING. MATCH BETWEEN MR CORNWALL'S ROAN MARE AND MR MAJOR'S BAY GELDING, IOR £ 100 A SIDE.— This event took § lace on Thursday. The match was brought to an issue at mitham Bottom, near Croydon, in presence of a strong muster of sporting celebrities from all parts of the metropolis. At the hour appointed a move was made from head- quarters to the ground selected. The conditions of the match were to trot two miles in harness. The mare is the property of Mr Cornwall, a gentleman well known in sporting circles, while Mr Major, of Cockspur- street, Charing- cross, is the owner of the gelding. What little amount of the needful was speculated was at 5 and 6 to 4 on the mare. The umpires and reforee having been chosen, the horses were brought out, when the general opinion was that Mr Major's horse had been greatly over- trained. The question of " Are both quite ready f" having been responded to in the affirmative by the drivers, the signal was given, and away went the tits, at a slashing pace. Mr Major, who had not got his horse home until three days before the match, and being called upon at the last moment to drive himself, was unable to make the most ef him, not knowing his peculiar powers. He did not, therefore, get off oa such good terms as he expected, but the mare got weil away, and gradually stole upon her oppo- nent, going in a winner by 30 yards, which distance many thought she oould have increased. Mr Major, however, was of a different opinion, and has challenged the mare for a further trial, which is to come off in about a month, for £ 100 a side, when Mr Major proposes to have a professional driver, and a catch the scratch start. THE DRAMA. DRURY- LANE THEATRE.— On Monday night Mr E. T. Smith introduced to the English public another American candidate for histrionic fame. The name of the gentleman in question is Roberts, and he has already obtained for himself a high reputa- tion in nis ewn country. The part selected for his debut was Sir Giles Overreach— certainly about as difficult a character as could be selected. Mr Roberts has many drawbacks to suc- cess, such as want of power and voice, but he is evidently an experienced actor, and one who has studied his profession as a scholar. His performance was most careful and elaborate, but still it did not come up to what had been expected from his high reputation. Mr Belton, an old favourite at Drury- lane, who has lately returned from America, sustained the part of Wellborn with much vigour and spirit, and showed no small improvement on his latest performances in this country. Among the other artists in the cast we should notice Miss Portman, a debutante, who made a most favourable impression in Marga- ret. Mr Stuart, also, an old band, gave due importance to the character of Lord Lovell, and Mrs. Vickery was sufficiently imposing as Lady Allwarth. The other actors call for ne parti- cular notice. LYCEUM THEATRE.— A series of " English operas" was com- menced on Monday evening at this theatre, under the joint management of Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr W. Harrison, two highly esteemed favourites of the public, who have recently returned from America, where for nearly two years they have been exhibiting their talent to delighted audiences. Auber's opera of" The Crown Diamonds" was the chosen piece. Miss Louisa Pyne, it may readily be imagined, sings the musie of Catarina most admirably, while Mr Harrison vocally sustains the part of Henrique most effectively. It is to be hoped, how- ever, that both artists will shortly give us a taste of their English qualities. The band and chorus are both excellent; and Mr Alfred Mel Ion's name at the head of the forees shows that the managers are determined that nothing shall be want- ing in the neglected department of English opera. This is a move in the right direction, and calls for unqualified praise. THE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN.— An inquest has been commenced on the bodies of the Hon W. M. Clive, Miss Paget, Mrs Heaton, and Mrs Pittman, who were killed at Tux- ford. The engineer and fireman of the train have been ex- amined, but were unable to account in any way for the accident. The inquiry was adjourned. Fifty thousand cures have been effected without medicine, inconve- nience, or expense, by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica food. Cure No. 49,832. " Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness at the stomach, and vomiting, have been removed by Du Barry's excel- lent food.— Maria Jolly, Wortham, Ling, near Diss, Norfolk."

If I were the proprietor, or editor, of a newspaper or periodical, I should surround myself with a staff of young, active, intelligent writers in preference to old ones, no matter how able the latter may be. This will appear a paradox, but it is only a surface one. The old and practised writer will excel, when he warms to his work, in style and judgment, but he lacks the stimulus which the omne ignotum pro magnifico gives. He w hardly ignorant of anything, and very few matters strike him as great, novel, or interesting. Not so the young writer. Very common affairs appear new to him, and thinking they must be so to others he dilates upon them in high glee. Because they we known to the old writer, he deems they are familiar to all readers not reflecting that there are young ones rising up every day who take old lamps for new. It is somewhat similar in world'y matters. Your clever, sensible man opines others as Sever and sensible as himself, and so rests upon his oars. He won't pull a stroke, least he should " catch a crab," and be leered ? t. Your dullard, or your quack, or your superficial, has more arutnen. He sees before him a parliament of fools. He strikes in amongst them, and finds a mine of lguorarne that lie can profitably explore, where your coy, clever man dreamt there was nothing but impregnable intelligence. " And fools rush in where angels fear to tread.' Very proper too. The angels may stop at the threshold of for- tune with their heads under their wings. The fools rush in and win " It takes a wise man to make afool." Yon, old fellow, who said that knew the world well. Look at your bubble companies, raur ev.> r springing up assurance offices, your Robsons, Red- paths, Camerons— fools speculating upon folly. If they did not succeed, thousands of others, choosing a similar tack, did. Be frbrhtened at your own notions of the shrewdness and sound sense of mankind^ and you will never get beyond " chipsfor vourVorridge." To return to scribblers.

The effervescence lasted its time. Evaporation quickly com- menced, leaving a sediment- a dull muddy extract of wearisome- E^ s behind. In 1838, when I began to addle the brains of old K and his numerous progeny, with " Sketches by a Fly- fialiflV " did I not think myself a wonderful fellow, steeped m vereatilitv? not tlw disciple but the master of Walton and Cotton ! What do I think of my self now, what do I feel I am i A. worn- out, listless, imperturbable, shotten- herring, literary lackXd iisv, without a shot in the sub- skull- cap locker. I am ^ The salrnon'fishing by net and rod is, generally speaking, over. The fish in all early rivers are upon the shallows, planning ma- trimonial alliances, and seeking for nuptial couches. Those of the Tweed alone— Welsh salmon are hardly worth mentioning— have not vet attained the nubile state. We may interfere with them until the 14th of October,, and then quiet be their lives until the 1st of February, 1858. The Tweed Fisheries Act, passed last session, deemed them free of the net on the 14th of September, but subjected them to the slight punishment of the rod for a month loDger. The wisdom of that act doing away with all fixtures at the mouth of that fine nver- once the itlory and lately the shame of the Lowlands— is already exhibiting itself. The head guardian of its silver- sides writes to me — » We have got the new act in full operation here now, and the lower waters, that were to be used by the abolition of the stell- ncts. are yielding as many fish as ever, with the exception of Mr Ellison's, where a sole- net, now prohibited, was used. So much for the evidence which alleged that the lower proprietors would be mined," Let me comment upon this passage. The owners of the lower waters of Tweed, particularly the Berwick ShiDDinK Company, when they opposed the Tweed Commis- sioners' Act ( now happily, with improvements, passed) produced alarge batch of witnesses before the Commons aud Lords' com- mittees who were to decide the question of salmon or uo salmon henceforth in the border river, all of which witnesses, upon oath'statedthat the removal of fixed nets, sole- nets, stell- nets, hanging- bobs, swinging- bobs, aud the deuce knows what in- fernal machines besides, would rum their interests, and that thev could not profitably fish with moveable nets, now find themselves mistaken. They are catching as many fish as ever, mv trustworthy informant says. They were told so by the wit- nesges in favour of the act recently passed. They would not believe t* em. I hope they do so now. They will catch more and more each succeeding season, for, obstructions removed, a far greater number of spawners, early and late ones, than hitherto will reach the fords and tributaries of the Tweed. The forty thousand salmon and grilse that used to be taken from that once prolific river, within the memory of many men liow living may, in a few years— the number I mean— be again captured. We think the act a very good one, and the clauses that make it penal to kill baggits and kelts, and to leister either by sunlight or torchlight, show the wisdom of the committees that recommended them to the adoption of Parliament. The only objection we have is to the close- time. It ought to begin earlier in autumn than the middle of Septem- ber * If we wish to have early spawning, we should have an early close- time, ending with the year. I think such close- time would tend to assimilate rivers, and do away with the anomaly of early and late rivers. I have a very high opinion of the Irish Salmon Fisheries Acts. The close- time there, except in two or three small and unimportant rivers, begins on the 14th August ( anglers are permitted to fish a month longer), and ends with the last day of January. I wish it were on the last day of De- cember. The Government superintendents of Irish fisheries, Messry Barry and Ffennel, have done an immense deal of good, and merit the thanks of their countrymen. Had it not been for the lucid interesting and common- sense evidence of the latter ( m re sctlmo salar) before the committees when examined, I do not think the Tweedside anti- monopolists would have got so good an act as they now possess. Let us all thank him. And now for a few words about our English born, Father Thames. He has amusement for his frequenters— the finest tront in the world, murdering savage sepoy pike ( would that there were a great big gorge hook in the viscera of Nana Sahib aud in those of each of his followers, with stout line attached, and a Thames angler to pull it!) hog- back perch, moustachoed- barbel, golden chub, burnished carp, carmine- finned roach, pearly dace, and greedy gudgeon. There are fish enough for you, happy, jelly, good- hearted, amiable cockney. Go and catch them if you can. I'll tell you a few of my favourite fishing grounds. First, Sonning ( near the Twyford station), pretty, quiet, gentle Sonning, with your snug Butchers' Arms Inn ( fortunate fellow he who shall possess it, after the good Dells, flitting to more profitable quarters), your old, benevolent Mr Charles Alleway, the friend of anglers and their guide; and lastly with your knowiug, attentive, and amusing puntman, Jemmy Bromley, wfco distinguished himself on Friday week, September 18, by seizing bodily a big sepoy ( pike, l7$ lb), hooked by J. J„ the patriarch of the Covent- garden Arcade, pulling him into the punt, falling flat upon him lest the tyrant should escape, then stuunim? him with the butt- end of a bludgeon ; afterwards dis- embowelling him, to free the weapon that " stapped his vitals;" aiid finally sending him to be devoured by the basso cantante of the Carpenters' Arms, vis a- vis the New Hum mums. The basso intones anew dead march in " Bluebeard," beginning— " The pike, the pike, the b— dy, b dy pike," and King William- street West resounds with the hymn noon and nteht. In the morning the jolly basso snores. Second, Cookham; third, Maidenhead; fourth, Monkey Island; fifth Datchett ( seek the Morning Star, with its kind hostess, and Jemmy DiavoJo Aslin, the puntman); sixth, Bells of Ouseley; seventh, Laleham ( happy pisoator, if you can get into the " Covers," and make the acquaintance of its hospitable proprietor, W. K. H., tbo best brother of the whole fishing fraternity); eighth, Chert- aey; ninth, Weybridge; tenth, Shepparton; eleventh, Walton; twelfth, Sunbury; thirteenth, Hampton; fourteenth, Thames Ditton; fifteenth, Teddington. You see I hold fifteen stations upon Thames. I can hardly say which is the best. The nearest is Teddington, the farthest off is Sonning. Shall I do as the racing prophets do— deceive you ? Nani, nani. Try them all, and pick for yourself, which will spare you the trouble of d rig my eyos. Don't do that. They are blighted and blasted enough already. If you fish for pike, sink and rove with the live bait. It is the easiest and surest way of capturing the beast. If you fish for barbel, use the leger line and whole lob- worm ; if with the float, use the tail part only. If you angle fer perch, sink and rove, or use the paternoster. For the epprinw, carp, chub, roach, and dace, use gentles and pastes. The winter months are coming. Farewell, then, barbel, chub, & c 1 Pike and roach only will remain to yon in old Thames, but should you be in a grayling country ( Hampshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire) then your lures for the princess of waters must be gentles, artificial grasshoppers, and little dark duns for bright days, low aud clear water. Ye who wish for profitable oral information touching Thames angling, consult Mr Farlow, or his amiable and truth- telling foreman, Mr Davis, 191, Strand ; young Anderson, of 71, Long- acre ; and last, not least, that two- legged otter who hunts so successfully in the vicinity of Old Windsor weir, Mr A. Gould, of 86, Great Maryle- bone- street, Cavendish- square. All the river from Datchett to the Bells of Ouseley is rented and preserved by Mr Nichols, a London merchant, whose villa is in this neighbourhood. He is glad to see every fair angler fish the part of Thames he, at con siderable expense, preserves ; and all he asks is that you do uois kill fish when out of season or by unfair devices. I must not further lengthen this adieu. Our paper is this week rife with more important matter, and it being useless to ohaunt " Largo al Factotum," I lay down my pen, rise up, and walk. EPHEMEBA. September 24. * " A few pairs of salmon are now spawning. We saw the first pair with a good- sized bed, made on the 15th inst, that being the day after the law cioses the fisheries all through Scotch rivers. Even that one pair spawning at that time tells plainly the necessity of closing our rivers much earlier. We have a good deal of fish in the rivers, but not so many as we had in some former years. However, if the season be good, the breeders will be quite enough,"— Extract of a Letter ft- om Mr Young. POACHING IK NORTH WALES. Ms EDITOR : In looking over Bell's Life for last week I see in it a paragraph with regard to poaching the fish in North Wales. I have myself often thought that more effective measures ought to have been taken to put a stop to it; but the statement of Mr Hamer with regard to tfce " Welsh inns being deserted, and that there is no letting of cottages," and lastly, that ridiculous remark that " the Saxon has abandoned the land of the Ancient Britons," is simply " humbug." Hoping you will insert the above in your journal, in order to contradict what, in vulgar phraseology, is called " such bosh," yours, Jtc, Air ANCIENT BKITON. BARBEL FISHING- AT DATCHEIT.— Mr Editor : I beg to send vou the fallowing account of a few days' sport at barbel fishing. I spent three days last week with my friend, Mr Gould of Lon- don, at Datchett, for the purpose of enjoying some fishing. The days were very bright and excessively hot, nevertheless the sport exceeded our most sanguine expectations. The first day the fish did not bite very freely, which was attributed chiefly to the wind, which came from the N. B. rather cold. The second and third days made up for the first, and the sport continued with- out interruption from morning till night. The number taken I do not exactly remember, but the weight was exactly 1521b, averaging about 241b each, some larger and some smaller. To those of your readers who enjoy fishing, I would advise to have a dEj's barbel angling at Datchetc, as they are now well on tho feed and in good condition. Further information can be ob- tained by applying to J. Aplin, the puntman, Datchett.— Yours, tec, A LOVEK OP THE ANGLE. RYDE ESPLANADE REGATTA. WEDNESDAY, SEPT 23.— We had ( says our correspondent) imagined that the regattas of the Isle of Wight had terminated with that of the Town Regatta; but it would appear that from the number of visitors in the island, and Ryde being again full of company owing to the return of congenial weather, tho in- habitants, ever alive to business, resolved upon getting up an- other aquatic entertainment. Our readers may remember that some two or three years back a very considerable portion of the sands, for which Ryde is celebrated, was enclosed, and a sea- wall constructed extending from Ryde Pier to Appley, a distance of nearly a mile, and a marine esplanade and carriage drive formed at a cost to the town of about £ 5,000, which at first created considerable opposition; since then a number of large mansions and summer residences have been constructed, which have been the means of enhancing the rateable property in that neighbourhood to the extent of £ 40,000. So much for the en- terprise of the inhabitants; and we find that year after year the town is being considerably extended. This increase has this year induced the inhabitants to get up another regatta, which came off on Wednesday last, agreeable to the following programme :— The first race on the card was a Lottery Match between wherries aud pleasure- boats, for a purse of 8 guineas. This peculiar moda of sailing appears to have originated at Ryde, aud gives great satisfaction to the competitors, inasmuch that every one strives to do his best to reach the goal as speedily as hio Vini- V will normit, him to do • hut thfi dfiftision. or award of NiJFtR AND SPELL— Kit Asquirth of Woodhouse will play Taylor of Bramley, Squire Alley of same place, or Croft of Stanley, half- way between home and home, or toss for choice of placs, for from £ 5 to £ 18 a side, with wooden heads and uurrs, or he will play Samuel Place of Hunslet, Brassy Hall of same place, or Binks of Armley, if any of them will give him half a score a rise, for the same sum. Money ready at Henry Lee's Cricketers' Arms, Woodhouse, near Leeds. Wm. Slator of Crossbills, near Kilwick, will play any of the following, with holly nurrs and hazel heads, for £ 20 or £ 25 a side, viz, Joshua Kendal of Shipton, Thos. Green of Horton, near Bradford, Edward Pearson of Wibsey Bank Foot, or John Pol an of Leeds. Slator will meet any of them next Saturday at Mr Geo. Spencer's, the Royal George Inn, Westgate, Keigh- ley, Yorkshire. Bell's Life to be final stakeholder. his bark will permit him to do; but the decision, or award of prizes, does not rest here, aud the excitement continues until all the competitors have had their draw in the lucky bag in the order of their arrival. It has so happened that the last vessel in has obtained the first prize, to the no small amusement of the competitors. Thus it has been termed a lottery mateh. In the present instances the prizes were apportioned in the following scale: First prize £ 1 4s 6J, seoond £ 1 3s 6d, third £ 1 Is 6d, fourth £ 1 Is 6d, fifth £ 1 0s 6d, sixth 19s 6d, seventh 18s 6d, eighth 18s 6d; affording to each of the winners sufficient com- pensation for their day's work. The following were the entries: Alma, J. Wearu ; Fairy Queen, G. Drayton ; Pallas, T. Gawn; Melchet Park, C. Osmond; Queen, S. Gawn ; Lady Susan, C. Harris ; Matilda, J. Harris; Lady Jane, J. Gawn. Course from a starting vessel moored off the Royal Eagle Hotel, thence round the Sandheads buoy and back to the starting vessel, twice round. It blew hard from E. S. E., which caused a very heavy sea to set in, but nothing could excel the superior handling of these boats, several of them being under reefed sails and mizen furled. At two p. m a gun from the starting vessel announced their departure, and a very fair start was effected. The Alma aud Fairy Queen took the lead ; the former, however, soon drew awav from her. They had all a dead beat against wind and tide, some on one tack and some on another, plunging, and almost burying themselves in the sea, or broken water. The Lady Jane was now observed with a good weatherly position, when she had the misfortune to carry away her sprit, which rendered her hors de combat. The Alma, Fairy Queen, Pallas, aud Mel- chet were now leading in a cluster, tack for tack, those on the port tack having to give way occasionally to some competitor on the opposite tack. The Alma, on uearing the buoy, had the weather position, but from some misunderstanding of her crew she jibed round the Sandheads buoy, leaving it on the port hand, aud this when she was about a minute and a half from her antagonist, the Fairy Queen. After rouuding the buoy, they bore away, and stood on the port tack for the starting ves- sel, and the first round was completed in the following order :— Alma 3: 14: 30, Fairy Queen 3: 16: 55, Pallas 3: 17: 15, Melchet 3: 18: 5, Queen 3: 24: 40, Lady Susan 3: 24: 55, Matilda 3: 28: 55 ; Lady Jane disabled. Lady Susan carried away her starboard chain- plate, and was necessitated to luff round the starting vessel on the port tack, for tho safety of the mast. The second round of the course was pursued under similar order, and eventsally the vessels reached the goal as under :— Alma 3: 57: 30, Fairy Queen 3: 59; 40, Pallas 4: 0: 5, Melchet 4: 1: 20, Queen 4: 10: 0, Lady Susan 4: 10: 35, Matilda 4: 20: 0, Lady Jane. The Alma, Lady Susan, and Lady Jane having been disqualified for breach of sailing regulations the committee, taking it into consideration that afl had sailed for the amusement of the public as much as anything, decided that they should each participate, and placed them on the bottom of the list to draw, and Fairy Queen became the first. The drawing took place the same evening in the following order:— 1, Fairy Queen, fourth prize; 2, Pallas, sixth; 3, Melohet, seventh ; 4, Queen, third; 5, Matilda, seoond; 6, Lady Susan, first; 7, Alma, eighth; 8, Lady Jane, fifth. The match caused great excitement, aud afforded much amuse- ment to the number of spectators on the Esplanade, from whence an uninterrupted view of the several matches was ob- tained. The following matches according to the programme were then proceeded with, viz ROWIKG MATCH, four- oared boats, for prizes of £ 1, 12s 6d, and 7s 6d, which, after a well- contested match through " a lop of a sea," was won by Champion ( Heward) beating Union ( Seymour) and The Julia ( Heward). SCULLING MATCH, by men, won by VF, Gawn, beating J. Heward aud J. Bevis. Several punt races for boys and other amusements on the sands, as the tide receded, followed, and altogether the first Esplanade Regatta proved very successful. We cannot close our report without mentioning that the public are indebted to Mr Newman, the proprietor of the Royal Eagle Hotel, for the first attempt to get up an additional entertainment, which we are assured may be considered as only the inauguration of a more extensive regatta in future seasons. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. The closing trip of this club took place on Saturday week, and was a very" brilliant affair. At four o'clock the Silver Cloud, Zillah, Quiz, and Julia, left the Polly House, Blackwall, the three former being full of gentlemen. The breeze was north- easterly, which rendered beating necessary, and brought out the sailing qualities of the craft in company. Arrived at Erith the members and their friends proceeded to Mr Dean's, the Crown, where a very good repast awaited them. The number was then discovered to be rather larger than expected, and was increased by teu or eleven visitors, making in all 43 or 44 gentlemen present. After a little delay spent in accom- modating this large party comfortably, Mr R. Hewett, the Commodore, took his position at the head of the table, faced by Mr E. Kuibbs, the Vice- Commodore. After the clear- ing of the cloth, the chairman proposed " The Queen," which was drunk with the usual demonstrations of loyalty.— The Chairman n « ' xt gave, " Albert Edward Prince of Wales, coupled with the Prince Consort and the rest of the roval family." The Chairman said: I have only to announce the next toast to in- sure that it svill be drunk with the greatest enthusiasm; it is, " The Navy and Army," the latter of whom are fighting like heroes for English liberty in the East. This toast having been voeiferously cheered, the Chairman said: The toast which I am about to give is the toast of the evening, and I need only men- tion it to induce you to receive it with enthusiasm. I cannot boast of being one of the early members of this club, but I am quite sure that my words will not have less weight with the gentlemen around me, and that you will fill your glasses to the brim, in order to do justice to the toast of " Success to the Prince of Wales Yacht Club." For some time everything else was drowned in cheering, when Mr Fradgley arose and said, Gentleman: It affords me much gratification to be enabled to propose the toast entrusted to me, and yet I wish that it had been placed in fitter hands. Your chief officer is well- known to you, he has done a great deal to enhance the prospe- rity of this club, and I am sure that my feeble words are inade- quate to express the esteem in which we all hold him. I am sure you will all join with me in drinking our Commodore's very good health The Commodore replied: The manner in which you have drunk my health is so flattering to me that I cannot find words to express my gratitude. I hope that I shall always deserve your esteem, and be assured that while I am your chief officer I shall do all I can for the Prince of Wales Yacht Club, and my services shall always be at your ser- vice. I thank you most sincerely for your kindness.-— Mr Herring, sea: I am sure that no words ef mine are needed in order to persuade you heartily to respond to the toast which I am about to propose. Mr Knibbs, the Vice- Commodore, has been for a great length of time amongst us, and his services have never been asked for in vain. I have only to add that he is well- known to you, both asa yachtsman audas a gentleman, and I think I may with safety say " We shall never look upon his like again." The Vice- Commodore responded : I am too much flattered by you for what little I have done towards promoting the success of this elub; I shall always be most happy to perform any duty which you may impose upon me, and for the kindness you have done me in proposing my health, allow me to return my most sincere thanks.— Mr William Chubb, in an excellent speech, pro- posed " The Treasurer," who, for the first time in the remem- brance of the club, was absent, owing to recent domestic afflic- tion. The toast was received with loud cheers.— Mr J. Burton proposed the health of " The Secretary," without whosi he said they could do nothing.— Mr Sadleir replied.— Mr Poppleton pro- posed " The Auditors," and Mr W. Webster, jun, replied. Other toasts followed, the party not breaking up till a late hour, and many proceeding on board the yachts for a cruise next morning. ST GEORGE'S ROWING CLUB.— Under this title a rowing club was organised early this year, consisting of very young men, for the most part sons of gentlemen, with some tradesmen's sons, who rowed their winding- up race, or rather races on Monday, for silver prizes. After the day's sport was over, the members and their friends assembled at their bouse of meeting, the Balmoral Castle, ou Thames Bank, and partook of a good supper. The races with their results are subjoined. First Scullers Race: The distance was from Putney New Bridge to Hammersmith Sus- pension ; Mr J. Godfrey ( red) 1, Mr G. W. Stevens ( white) 0. It was a very hollow race, and Mr Stevens did not hold his oppo- nent for many hundred yards. Second Scullers Race: Distance as before; Mr E. Gohns ( red) 1; Mr G. W. Stevens 0. Mr Stevens started well with his opponent, but gave in after rowing two or three hundred yards, as he had been " used up" in the previous race. A third scullers race did not come off. Pair- oared race: This concluded the afternoon's rowing, and in proportion as the other races were hollow, so this was au excellent affair, well contested throughout, and one of the prettiest pair- oared races one could wish to see. It was rowed on the ebb tide from Hammersmith Bridge to Putney, with the following result: Messrs E. Gohns and J. T. Ford ( red) 1, J. W. Blake and R. E. Godfrey ( blue) 2, G. W. Stevens and H. Bunce ( white) 0. Nothing daunted by his two defeats, Mr Stevens, with his partner, started well ahead of his opponents, but did not retain the foremost position long, as they ran into their umpire's boat which was ahead, and Red and Blue went by them handover hand. At the point jast before crossing over to the Crab Tree, Blue very slightly headed their opponents, who here closed the gap, and a level race ensued to below the Crab Tree. Red then drew rapidly away, and were a length clear at Craven Cottage. Blue, however, by dint of a spurt or two, brought themselves within half a clear length, and they kept throughout in this position, Red having all then' work to do towards tfee end to win. MODEL YACHT MATCH.— The following boats have been en tered for the sailing match among the models on the Serpentine, t ® take place on Monday ( to- morrow), at 2 p. m., for a silver cup :— First heat -. J. Thomas's Fenella ( schooner), J. Lockyer's Louisa ( cutter), G. J. Kerridge's Anne ( lugger). Second heat: J. Bull's Lightning ( lugger), Messrs Tarner and Temple's Three Williams ( lugger), E, Taylor' s Extravaganza ( lugger). The third heat will be sailed bjr the four losing boats in the two previous heats, and the three winners will contend in the final heat. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN CHAMBERS AND RALPH, FOR £ 200- The antagonism of the north and south during the last few years, whether in the four, the pair, or the scullers boat, has afforded at no great intervals races replete with interest and ex- citement, and has, moreover, developed variation in style and in the construction of craft which has beeu very generally adopted with advantage upon our waters. In thi3 antagonism which> has not unfrequently formed the staple commodity of regattas there have been events rife with expectancy, but failing in the realisation of the cherished hopes of those who come together to witness them. The one we are about to detail partakes of that character, although not, perhaps, disappointing the great bulk of the spectators, very few ef whom expected that the losing man would win, nor could we thiuk so ourselves when his trifling performances were brought iu array against those of his opponent. ROBEBT CHAMBERS is a native of Walker, iu the vicinity of St Anthony's, Newcaatle- on- Tyue, and is a fine specimen of the north countryman, standing offc 9| iu high, weighing list, and is 26 years of age. We first hear of him about five years ago, on the Tyne, when, with Simm, he won a pair- oared race against Scott and Hogg. We next find him a sculier, when he beat Shaftoe iu two successive races at Newcastle. Iul856 he came to London with Harry Clasper's four, who were victorious in the race for the £ 100 Champion Prize given by the Royal Thames National Regatta Committee, and at the same meetiug he won the scullers prize iu old- fashioned boats. At Newcastle, in the Champion Scullers Race, last year, he rowed second to Harry Clasper; and this year, on his native river, be rowed against and defeated Galley. At the Royal Thames National Regatta, this year, he was again one of Clasper's crew who were victorious in she Champion Four- oared Race for the £ 100. He also won the Scullers Prize, iu outriggers, after the splendid race be- tween him and Ralph, of which we will treat hereafter. Betides these performances, he has, with another, won a pair- oared race at Manchester; and also won the Scullors Prize there this year. At Lancaster and Durham he was in a winning four, and won a scullers race at the latter place. He rowed in the present match in one of the most beautiful specimens of the outrigger ever seen, built by Harry Glasp r. ALFRED RALPH of VVandsworth is also a fine tall young mau, of the same age as his opponeut, weighing list 21b, his height being five feet ten inches aud a half. Compared with his oppo- nent, he has done nothing, as, with the exception of his rowing one or two races, he was hardly known to the aquatic world till last year. In 1852 he rowed third to Harry Kelley in the race for Evan Morris's Coat and Badge. In 1853 he wou the Leander Coat and Badge, but seems not to have been taken by the hand or cared for, and was nowhere iu the Regatta at Putney, in 1S54. About that time he was defeated by H. Ray of Wappiiig for a staall stake. In 1856, in the scullers race in outriggers, ac the Royal Thames National, Regatta he rowed second to Harry Kelley, beating Tom Cole, who was third. This year he rowed in Kelley's four, at the Royal Thames National Regatta, but with no particular success, as they were overmatched, and in the scullers race, iu outriggers, owing to accident, ha was third to Chambers. He also rowed in the victorious VVandsworth crew at Antwerp, this year, in each race they engaged in. He to © rowed in a boat from the north, built by Jewifct, of Dunstan, which was a perfect model ef beauty. Ia fact both boats were complete pictures, and did great credit to our Eorthern friends ; yet why the London builders should b3 entirely forsaken appears very hard, aud if north couutrymen build better boats we should advise Loudouers to determine to excel iu that art, as well as in any other. We have now, we beliave, disposed of the men, aud what they have done, and wo wiil just turn our attention to what they did on this occasiou, and other little matters. Those of our aquatic readers who were present ou the second day of the Rsyal Thames National Regatta this year cannot have forgotten what a fine race Chambers and Ralph rowed one against the other. Such a race is rarely seen, the pace also be- ing very great. It will be remembered that, over the course of one mile aud three quarters, which they rowed from Hammer- smith to Putney, neither man at any time v, as quite clear of the other, and, at tho Star and Garter, Ralph, leading at the time by about a yard aud a half, was fouled by two or three boats, aud, rowing rather wild, Chambers reached Putney Bridge about half a clear length ahead of him, John Mackiunoy being second. In this race Chambers rowed iu a new boat, which he had sat for the first or second time only ; while Ralph rowed in one to which he was well used, but, at the same time, he had previously pulled unsuccessfully in Kelley's four, and the exertions of such an indifferent crew against such a four as Winship, Bruce, Ault, and Wood, must have been so great that very few would have thought Ralph could directly afterwards row with such spirit; and this was the main thing which in- duced his backers to get on a race between him aud Chambers- while the north oountrymen, never backward, were equally ready with the needful, and a match was formally declared to have been negotiated between them. Then active proceed- ings were taken by each man. Chambers immediately placed himself under the care of Harry Clasper, and Ralph, knowing he could not do better, submitted himself to the attention of Henry Salter. The race, as our readers are probably aware, was to come off from Putney New Bridge to the Ship at Mortlake, one hour before high water, on Mouday, Sept 21, for £ 100 a side; and we thiuk that stake much better than the large amounts which are generally put down for races, just as though man rowed only for what they could make by it. Directly the match was made the odds were on Chambers, people at first laying out timidly, but latterly without auy fear, the ratio of investment being 6 and 7 to 4, 2 to 1, and, iu some instances, 3 to 1. It did not, however, reach the latter amount till Chambers came to town on Thursday fortnight, when, after having had a few trials, the knowing ones felt that there could be uo doubt as to the result. North coun- trymen especially were very sanguine, " going the whole hog," and have on this occasion been amply repaid tor their visit to our metropolis. Carried along by the stream of time we found ourselves at Putney in the early morning of September 21st, and on inquiry proceeded to the Rose aud Crown, where we find Chamoers, looking the picture of ruddy health, in company with Henry Clasper, who had takeu every possible care of him. As the time for the start drew nearer and nearer people began to assemble along the towing- path and on the bridge, and small boats heavily laden made their way to the soene of action, in addition to which pair- oared, four- oared, and sculling boats began to arrive in rapid succession, and lastly, at three o'clock, came the steamers, and we were much pleased to find that instead of there being thirteen or fourteen jostling one another, and necessarily impeJing the men, only four made their appearance, viz, Citizen L, chartered by Chambers and R » lph, on board of which were the umpires, Harry Clasper for Chambers, John Salter for Ralph, and Mr Casamajor referee; Citizen H, chartered by Ralph and H. Salter; Citizen J by Mrs Jemmy Shaw, and the Venus, we believe, " on speo." At four o'clock the men came out, and were greeted with loud cheers as they passed the steamers. Ralph had the choiceofstation, and took the Middlesexshore. Nobody, oiilooking at the men, would have thought them to ba the same weight, as there was a very marked diiference between them, one being strongly built, with abundanoe of loin aud muscle, tho other taller but very wiry, and lacking the requisite siuew. They could not have made better choice of their " conductors," Chambers having placed himself under the guidance of the well- known excellent general William Pocook, of Lambeth, and the Champion of the Thames, Henry Kelley, being in the head of Ralph's cutter. THE START was now eagerly looked forward to by every one, every breath being hushed, and in the midst of the thousands assembled the men got away at five minutes past four at a beautiful pace. Owing to his long stroke Ralph got the start, and held his oppo- nent for fifty or sixty yards, having at one time an advance of something like a quarter of a length. They became scull and scull off Finch's Cricket Ground, and Chambers then began to draw himself clear, aud ere their arrival at Craven Cottage had taken his opponent's water. Betting was now on Chambers to any amount, and at the Crab Tree, which they passed before 12 minutes after four, the terrific pace had already beateu Ralph, while Chambers, very strongly reminding us of Kelley, was working away with the same lightning rapidity, with a quick aud at the same time effective stroke, Ralph's coming under neither denomination, as his is a long stroke ; but he fails to lay hold of his water at first, and thus loses much power, At Ham- mersmith Bridge Chambers was three or four lengths ahead, and between this aud the winning point he frequently eased, aud once stopped altogether, to allow nis opponeut to come nearer to him. Ralph, however, finding he had no chance, began to flag, and his opponent came in first, some seven or eight boat's lengths ahead of him. For the information of our sporting readers we subjoin the time ( from the start to the finish) occupied by Chambers, the finish being taken at the Ship, and not at the distance boat, which was too high up:— m. 8. , From Fufney Aqueduct Bridge to the Crab Tree 6 - to Ditto ditto Hammersmith Bridge 9 40 Ditto ditto upper end « !' Chiswick Alt 14 15 Ditto ditto Barnes Railway Bridge .. 20 25 Ditto ditto Ship at ilortlake 24 30 The steerage of Chambers both at the Crab Tree and at Barnes Elm Reach was anything but first- rate, mainly attributable to the circumstance of his seeming to have lost sight of the fact that his pilot was to direct his steerage. It would seem that he was unused to the accompaniment of a cutter, as he frequently looked round to see whether anything was in his course. It may be as well to state that Chambers does not aspire to the cham- pionship of the Thames at present, but we understand it is in- tended by his backers to take him from the metal foundry work, at which he has been hitherto engaged, and obtain for him a more healthy employment for the winter, so that, by keeping him up to the mark, he may ere long be deemed a fitting oppo- nent for Kelley. Ralph, who is a very deserving young man, found a large sum of the money out of his own pocket towards the stake, which he has just lost, aud we are glacl to be enabled to say that direetly the race was over Mrs Jemmy Shaw collected abeut £ 9 on the various accompanying steamers for him, which we hope to hear has been considerably increased. James Finnis, the winner of Daggett's Coat and Badge the pre- vious year, whom he defeated. In December, 1855, he rowed aud defeated Thomas Cannon, this making four victories in one year. Iu December, 1856, he was beateu by Thomas Pocock. This year he rowed in the victorious Wandsworth crew at Ant- werp, and his last encounter was with Fiunis on the 3d of this mouth. That was a race which all who saw it will long re- member. As a general rule contests of this description are virtually over by the time the opponents reach the Crab Tree or Hammersmith Bridge at the furthest, but this race was unde- cided at the upper end of Chiswick Eyot, and they neared Barnes B rid ire before Finnis's victory was secure. THOMAS WHITE, of Mill Stairs, Berrnondsey, is, like his brother, a fine young man, and two years younger, but has, although so young, several times distinguished himself. In 1856 he won the freedom at Lambeth. In the same year, ia the Royal Thames National Regatta, rowed second to Hammerton for the Coat and Badge given by the Thames Subscription Club. In June of this year he rowed an almost neck aud neck race for the greater part of the distance with Deale of Bermondsey, whom he defeated. Ou the 1st of August, this year, he won Doggett's Coat and Badge, aud soon afterwards the Bermondsey Boat, being also one of the Wandsworth crew this year at Antwerp. The race was for £ 30 a side, to come off on Tuesday, Sept 22d, from Putney to Mortlaka. The Pococks took up their quarters at the Feathers, Wands- worth, where they have been for a length of time rowing iu a boat built by Harry Clasper; and their trials being watched and compared with the others, betting gradually shifted round from the Whites to the Pococks, but to no great extent, aud on the day of the race the money laid out was pretty even with the Pococks for choice. The Whites had not taken so much pains with themse- lves as they might have done, and were only a short time at Gardner's, the Ship, Waudsworth, under the care of Daniel Cotton, a below bridge man. All was bustle on the day of the race. The various boat- yards turned out their craft by dozens, and the Veuus, Capt Sharplin, brought up a large number of below bridge men to witness thsj oontest, and on board of this were the umpires— Harry Pocock for his brothers, Mr James Owen for the Whites, and Mr Ham- mings referee Whites won the toss, aud took the Middlesex shore, all the competitors rowed in buff, and looked equally fiue one with the other. The Whites were shown up by George Driver, Pocock and his brother disdaining any such auxiliary, William generalllng the boat in the finest style. At two minutes to four they got off, amid breathless suspense, and the start was taken at the first onset by the Pococks, aided by their long sweep, the working of their opponents being very short, but yet possessing grnat power. About filty or sixty yards after the start, while the Pococks were yet leading, their boat was struck by a swell, which hung on the water from the wash of a steamboat which broke upon it, and seemed for an instant to immerse thesa, and to have some iiilluence over the early part of the race ; for the next instant the Whites, at a dashing pace, drew about a yard ahead of them, aud retained this lead fsr nearly a hundred yards. Then the Pococks, in beautiful style, drew slightly out from their opponents, and presently their boat shot ahead by about three yards clear. Although having their wash, however, the Whites kept them well at their work, all going at the same rapid pace to near Craven Cottage, where the Bsrmondsey men came up at a quick rate, and they were oar and oar to past Craven. At this moment the Whites shot ahead rapidly, there being au apparent falling off ou the part of Tom Pocock. On crossing opposite the Crab Tree the leading boat was six lengths ahead, and not being hampered its occupants began to work better together, so that their style was now pretty well as quick, while they seemed as fresh as at starting. At tho Crab Tree William Pocock brought his boat up a most beautiful course, and getting under the wind before thej made the point, relieved the labour of his brother. The Whites had hitherto kept good steerage ( TomWhite being stroke, and there being a skegg on their boat to lessen his labour), but liarry pulling too strong their boat went amazingly wide athwart the tide, and the Pococks laid down to their work in such gallant style as to gain before the bridge four lengths, and so to decrease the distance by which their adver- saries led, to two. Keeping their eye upon the boat astern, the Whites followed thdr steerage to an inch, so that from the steamer they were so clo* e, and in such a straight line, that the two boats appeared as one only. This state of things lasted to the middle of Chiswick Eyot, where the Whites went rather more ahead, and not observing their cutter their steerage was again bad through Corney Reach, where they were three lengths ahead, but on crossing over towards Barnes they again fell into the steerage of their opponents, and both boats, one directly be- hind the other, proceeded along through Barnes Bridge, whers the Whites were leading by four lengths, and going at a much more rapid pace than their opponents. Tha contest was now all over " bar shouting," and the Whites reached the Ship at Jlorfclake at 4: 20: 55, half a dozen lengths in advance of the Pococks, both boats being well cheered, and both deserving it, as it was certainly a fiae race throughout, aud without a doubt the prettiest oars match seen for many a day. The win- ners cau have the stakes by calling at our office cu Thursday next, at noon; and they will be given up ia form on the same evening at Mr Cass's, Stave Porters, Jacob- street, Dockhead, It is not the intention of Henry White to row any more matches, but T. White will row Childs from Putney to Mortiake in old- fashioned boats for any sum not exceeding £ 50 a side, aud the match cau be made the same evening. PAIS- OABED EACE BETWEEN THE POCOCKS AND THE WHITES. Pair- oared races, where the competitors are watermen, are of rare occurrence now- a- days on the London river, aud when they do happen, the competition is rarely among good men. While the scullers race abounds, both above aud below bridge, we perhaps hardly see more than one pair- oared match to a hundred single- handed contests, and, except in the Royal Thames Na tional Regatta, they may be said to be non- existent. It is a pity that they so seldom fall under our notice, as, in former days, being a good oarsman was considered an equal, if not greater honour, thaa acquiring great fame as a sculler, and it is difficult to guess why rowing solus is now so much the order of the day. We would go out any day rather to see a fine oars match than a first- rate sculling contest; but before us lies a duty we must hasten to perform, that of laying before our readers an account of a race doing credit to all concerned therein, and also to the best of our ability of giving the aquatic world a synopsis of the performances of the several heroes. What we are about to devote ourselves to is relating a race ( with other interesting details) between William and Thomas Pocock, on the one hand, against Henry and Thos. White, on the other, each pair being brothers, for £ 30 a side. WILLIAM POCOCK belongs to Lambeth, and his contests are so numerous that it would take a page to state all be has done, having been engaged in something like seventy matches of • arieus descriptions, from the sculling boat to the noble eight. He began his career in 1838, since which time he has scarcely ceased rowing, although now in his forty- third year. Asso- ciated with him in his palmiest days will be found the renowned Bob Coombes, John Phelps, Bob Newell, Harry Clasper, George Campbell, Charles Campbell, and the Mackinneys, cum multis aliis, and he has been engaged iu fours and eights with various success up to within the last year in the Royal Thames National Regatta. William Pocock's talent as a general, and unflinching game as a sculler and oarsman, were never questioned. His science often brought him off the victor, as was exemplified only two years ago, whew, with Harry Clasper, lie won his oars race at the Royal Thames National Regatta, and it was only on Tues- day last that we heard one of his old opponents exclaim, " Bill Pooock has rowed against me more than once, and I believe him to be the best oarsman and general the Thames ever produced." Although there is a marked abatement in his speed, yet for a veteran it is still great, and his generalship remains unimpaired. THOMAS POCOCK, like William, hails from Lambeth, and in point of age is 18 or 19 years his junior. Like most of our good men, he has won the Leaitder Coat and Badge, the date of his victory being 1854, and in the same year he rowed second for Grove's Coat and Badge in a close race. In September, 1856, he rowed a very fine race below bridge with Thomas Cannon, from Charlton Pier to the Tunnel Pier, the distauce nearly 7i miles over rough water, being accomplished by Cannon, the winner, in 48 minutes. In December, 1856, having six boat's lengths given him, he beat Henry White below bridge, and in June, this year, easily defeated Charles Childs from Woolwich to Limehouse, HENRY WHITE, of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, is between 23 and 24 years of age. He began his performances in 1854, and seems to have takeu time by the forelock as regards the rapid succes- sion of his matches. In August, 1854, he won the C ® at aud Badge for appreutices at the Royal Thames National Regatta. On the 1st of August, 1855, he won Doggett's Coat and Badge, and the same year, at the Royal Thames National R « gatta, with Thomas Cannon, won the Oars Race in old- fashioned boats. In November, 1855, he rowed a desperate race below bridge with ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club was held ou Monday evening, at the Caledonian Hotel, Adelphi, Mr Eagle, the Treasurer, in the absence of the Flag Officer, in the chair. After the trans- action of the ordinary routine business, the Chairman said it became his duty to call the attention of the members present to an important matter contained in a short announcement in the ordinary club letter, which was the resignation of their Commo- dore. The secretary pro tern, would read them the letter on the subject. The Secretary then read as follows ;— " SIR : The decision of the committee on the Grimsby ca-> e having been communicated to me last night at the Caledonian Hotel, I have to request that you will place my resignation of the office of Commodore before the mem- bers at the earjiest opportunity. The extraordinary con- struction put on some of the sailing regulations by mem bers of the Sailing . Committee will hereafter prevent my cordial cooperation in that resoect, thereby leading to con- stant differences. I have asked the Vice- Commodore to un- dertake those duties for the present that would have devolved on me. You will be kind enough to express to the members my grateful thanks for the uniform kindness I have experienced at their hands. I have to thank you personally for your ready assistance in matters concerning this club.— lam, sir, yours faithkilly, JAMBS GOODSON.— August 18,1857." rhe Chairman, at the conclusion of the letter, amidst con- siderable sensation, said that immediately on the receipt of it the Secretary at once sjimmoned a meeting of tho Sailing Com- mittee, but as on the veto of that committee the letter which had just been road had aru, en, they found themselves placed in so delicate a situation that they absented themselves; the Secretary essayed a second time to procure a meeting, but again failing had recourse to the House Committee, who met and ad- vised ou the subject, the result of their deliberation being to place the matter at the earliest opportunity before the club, which they now did. The Chairman observed that he felt it to be his duty to commuuicate to them that he had also received a pri- vate letter from the Commodore with reference to the funded property being in their ( the Commodore aud treasurer's) names, requesting him to substitute some name instead of his ( Mr Goodson's), and expressing his readiness to attend the transfer whenever called upon.— Mr R. Tress, who had undertaken at the meetiug of the House Committee to bring the matter forward, said he was of opinion that if the subject of the resignation was referred to a committee to report upon, it would be attended with advantage. A gentleman had already placed in his hand the names of several who had kindly undertaken to serve upon that committee.— The chairman thought that before the club proceeded any further the members would like to be put in pos- session of the" cause of the resignation.— The secretary then read a letter from the committee of the Great Grimsby Regatta, stating that as that regatta had been sailed under the laws of the Royal London Yacht Club, they should feel obliged by re- ceiving its opinion on the following subject- matter of dispute :— " A collision took place between two of the yachts oompeting for the first prize, and one of the crew belonging to the yacht struck jumped on board the other boat for safety, and the yacht came up short of a hand." Tha let ter then went on to allude to the case of the Wildfire, as reported in Bell's Life of 3d ult, and called the attention of the committee of the Southern Yacht Club to the subject.— The chairman said that on the receipt of this the Sailing Committee met twice and fully considered the matter as follows :— " In their opinion a person leaving a yacht against his will or inclination from any cause whatever would come within the meaning of the word accidentally knocked overboard, in Rule 1 and 2 of Sailing Regulations; but that a person leaving a yacht of his own will or by his own exertion, from any cause whatever, would disqualify the yacht." We here subjoin the result of the deliberation of the Regatta Committee from Bell's Life of the 23d ult :— " GRIMSBY REGATTA PRIZES.— After due consideration on the part of the committee, who consulted other yacht clubs on the subject, it has been determined that the schooner Aquiline forfeits her claim to the prize in consequence of touching a buoy and returning with one man more than she started with; and that the Avalon also forfeits her claim to the prize in consequence of having returned to the goal with one hand short, the man having jumped on board of the Aquiline during the collision. The first prize, therefore, falls to the Rapid, which vessel arrived at th « flag- ship five seconds after the schooner and three seconds after the Avalou. There being no boat to claim the second prize, it remains iu the hands of the committee." The Chairman having invited gentlemen to make any observa- tion which suggested itself to them upon the subject, Mr A. Crossley deeply deplored the resignation of their very worthy Commodore; the Grimsby matter in dispute had occupied the fullest attention of the committee, and he regretted that, after a decision by that honourable body, the Commodore should have taken up the matter as be had done. No one could more sin- cerely respect their chief officer than he did, and he would with much pleasure second the appointment of a committee having in view, if possible, the withdrawal of the letter of resignation. — Mr Farmer, in allusion to the proceeding of the Sailing Com- mittee, said that on the first meeting to consider this matter, there were three on one side and three on the other, but at the second meeting there was a majority of four to two for the de- cision above quoted. The yacht disqualified was the Commo- dore's, aud that circumstance naturally induced them to feel some delicacy. They had applied their most earnest attention to the matter, and had felt the law so dead against the Commo- dere, that they could not conscientiously do otherwise than they had.— A gentleman inquired what were to be the powers, what the duties of the committee sought to be appointed f Was it to be a court of review ?— was it to set aside the decision which had been come to by the Sailing Committee?— Mr Tress did not con- template for one moment any disrespect for that body.— The Chairman suggested that it would be better to leave that com- mittee unfettered to act as their own good sense might suggest, upon the whole of the circumstances that came before them; to hamper them with restrictions would be to limit their useful- ness. In his opinion, they should bo left to consider the letter of resignation, and report upon it, aud they would, doubtless, in their deliberations go into the case, and do the best in their power to remedy the difficulty in which the club was placed.— A gentleman observed that nothing must be done which could be construed iuto a vote oi censure on the Sailing Committee.— Mr Tress said he would move " That the letter of resignation of the Commodore be referred to a committee, consisting of Messrs Applaton, Crossley, E. Crosley, Farmer, Keeue, Oriel, C. Oriel, Power, Kuhl, Robertson, Skeen, Tress, andTulke, to take the same into consideration, aud to report to the club what steps they would recommend that body to take." Th= s being seconded, was car- ried unanimously, and, on the motion of Mr Powell, it was de- termined that the resolution should be reported to the Commo- dore. It was then arranged that the annual dinner take place on Thursday, November the 26th, and the following gentlemen consented to act as stewards :— The Vice- Commodore, the Rear- Commodore, Mr Alex. Crossley, Mr James Clegg, Capt Heseltine, Messrs S. F. Oriel, Geo. Osgood, Wm. Roe, George Kuhl, Alfred Skeen, and Richard Tress. The closing trip wiil take place ou Saturday next, when the yachts will ' .,/ a iijackwall at four o'clock precisely. The dinner w. u taKe place at the Crown Hotel, Erith, at six o'clock, and as trains leave London Bridge for Erith at 4: 20 and 4: 50, every facility is afforded members, and those who intend to dine are requested to forward their names to the secretary at the earliest opportunity.— The following is tbelaw re- lating to the Great Grimsby matter, extracted from the Royal London Yacht book :— " 1— 2. That during a match should any yacht engaged therein foul any road, tier, or vessel at anchor, she be allowed to shove or warp clear, if unassisted by any person out of the yacht, except the crew © r crews of the vessel or vessels so fouled ; any person during a match, leaving a yacht engaged therein ( unless accidentally knocked overboard), shall forfeit such yacht's claim to the prize." We do not seek for a moment to impugn the conduct of the Sailing Committee — a body of high minded ho- nourable men, deservedly enjoying the, confidence of the club— but we most seriously object to any such body of gen tlemen being hampered by a law which seems to deny the exercise of common discretion, and which de facto lays it down as a stringent rule that a yacht shall be disqualified if from any other reason than being accidentally knocked over- board, one of her crew is short on her return home, and virtually decree* that all the crew, be the circumstances ever so ap- palling, shall remain on board, even at the sacrifice of life. The fear consequent upon the imminent peril of being run down or any other casualty never seems to have been contem- plated, and, indeed, if a mau were wilfully ksocked overboard by any disagreement or quarrel amongst the crew, or if he fell without the operation of knocking at all, we suppose the owner will not be entitled to the exemption. Surely the sooner a law fraught with such absurdity be altered the better. Leave to honourable men the exercise of more discretion, and honourable men, such as those forming the oommittees of clubs, will be guided in their judgment, if so allowed by the law, by the im- portant facts of whether anything unfair, or having an iuflueuce over the race had deprived a boat of one of its crew; leave honourable men to tke exercise of such discretion aud they will never abuse it. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN CANNON AND RICE.— The race between T. Cannon of Wapping and G. Rice of Limehouse, for £ 25 a side, came off, according to articles, on Thursday last, from Woolwich to Limehouse. Both men are well known, having been engaged in numerous matches below bridge. Rice is about 36 years of age, and considerably older thaii his stiff- built opponent, which no doubt told somewhat in the strong head wind that was blowing oa the day. The Fairy, Captain Alcock, accompanied the race, and was well filled with the friends of both parties, who were very confident in their men, and betting was tolerably level. On board the accompanying steamer were the umpires— Thomas Day for Cannon, Thomas Samson for Rice, and Mr Kitchener referee. A good start was effected, and Rice then took a slight lead, but his opponent was with him directly, and they were scull aud scull for a few hun- dred yards, when Rice a* gain drew away. Cannon again came up, but the rough water knocking his scull up, he had to pause, and Rice once more passed him. In this way, with alternate leads, they rowed for a mile aud a half, when, the labour being all outhat side, Rice's right hand gave way, and Cannon went by him for the last time. After this Rice did net stand the least chance, and his opponent won as he liked. The winner was piloted by W. Myers, and trained at Mr Davis's Coffee House, Woolwich. The money is to be given up to Cannon, at Mr Foreman's, Albion Tavern, Lower East Smithfield, on Thursday evening next, when Hanson of Blackwall, who some time since chal- lenged the winner, can be accommodated with a match. WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB.— We have to record another of a series of races lately contested by members of this club* The race in question took place ou Saturday, lOsh inst, and was for pair oars, iu outriggad gigs, with coxswains, for silver tank ards, given by the club, the course being from Putney to old Battersea Bridge. The following crews started:— Green: Messrs H. Nicholetts and Capt G. Cnadwin, G. Mann ( cox); White: E. M'Manus andF. J. Tyler, W. A. Tyler ( cox); Red: T. M. Morris and P. R. Morris, W. E. Bennett ( cox); Blue: E. G. Hart- leyand E. Mann, John Taylor, jun( cox). MrF. E. Needham acted as umpire. On starting Green slightly took the lead, closely followed by White, and notwithstanding the energies of both Blue aud Red th& y kept it until withiu a hundred yards of the goal, when White, by a tremendous spurt, lessened the distance between them to about a boat and a half ; Greeu nevertheless won the race by nearly two boat's lengths. When near the Feathers, Wandsworth, the stretcher of Red gave way; Blue then passed them, and a very good race ensued between the two, which resulted in Red coming in third by a boat's length. Yes- terday ( Saturday, 26th) a double scullers race was to take place between Messrs T. M. Morris and P. R. Morris, and Messrs E. G, Hartley and F. E. Needham, a report of which wo shall give iu our next. AQUATICS AT LINCOLN.— Two well- contested boat races came off ou Saturday week, on the river Witham, below the Stampeud Locks. The competing boats were sgain from the two boat building establishments on Brayford Wharf, aud this time Mr Bell's boats proved the winners in both instances. The first was a four- oared race between Mr Bell's Dolphin aud Mr Wal- lis's Arethusa, for £ 5. The Dolphin's crew consisted of T. Par- kinson ( bow), G. Parkinson ( 2), E. Clay ( 3), C. Bell ( stroke), C. Dethick ( cox); aud the Arethusa's, W. Walker ( bow), G. Red- mile ( 2), A. Smith ( 3), Fountain ( stroke), W. Taylor ( cox). The course rowed over was between the Sandy- beds and Washing- borough ; distance, one mile aud a quarter. The Dolphin won easily by 120 yards.— Next came a pair- oared race between Mr Bell's Marlborough and Mr Wallis's The Fairy for £ 1. The crew of the Marlborough consisted of J. Buttery ( bow), C. Dethick ( stroke), J. Cooke ( cox); and of The Fairy, A. Kieidson ( bow), J. Hooton ( stroke), and W. Tollerton ( cox). The distance rowed was the same as in the four- oared race, over the same course. The Marlborough woe, after a very exciting race, by ten yards. BENJAMIN WHITE AND THOMAS PORTEBS ( OP LAMBETH), POTIESS, v JAMES STAPLE AND SAM. PRKSTON ( OF BRISTOL), POTTERS— A pair- oared race took place on Monday evening betweeu some potters working iu London, a pair of whom originally came from Bristol. They rowed from Battersea Bridge to the Steam- boat Pier at Lambeth, for £ 5 a side, and were accompanied by cutters, umpires, and referee, Heury Layton officiating in th* latter capacity. There was a good deal of betting among their fellow- wokmen on the race, which, however, gave disappointment. The result was as follows : Porter and White ( London) 1; Preston aud Staples ( Bristol) 0. They had a fair start, both going away together, and continuing so at a good pace to the Cadogan Pier. The winners then began to make headway well, with their opponents close on them to Pimlico Pier, where the winners went right away and won as they liked.

It wa « for £ 100 a side, and took place on , SkipworthCommon, Yorkshire, April 3, 1838. It was tho first introJfretiaa of any one connected with our journal to generally looked upon it with suspicion, and, up to the time of the last deposit, the cry was almost iuiveral among the sporticg circles that it would never come to a pght. So strong, indeed, was this impression on the minds of maiiy people, including some of the most influential Supporters of the P. Rs that the whole affair was pooh- poohed, and at least nineHenthTof the Corinthian world absented themselves altogether from the houses where deposit8 were made, and also from the fight itself, and great indeed must have been tkeir disappointment, not to say disgust, at their own suspicions on learning that the men had actually met and fought hugging system, and repeatedly hung upon his man at the ropes, 1 a . f^^ HnKtr fwwirltiolltj 11T I4) t& fmn> hie cr, 1* miortli i-£ » Jnm: a mtilr\ cr tion to the championship of the middle weights, has obtained for himself the summit of a pugilist's ambition— the Champion's Belt. Nat's health for some time continued very indifferent, , , _ and last year his friends almost to & man thought him in a gal- ( and the narrowness of the causeway to the boats, a gr lopping consumption. He obtainedjadvice at the Consumption? time was lostfln embarkation, dnd not a few of the Hospital, however, and there ascertained that his lungs were I not affected, and that his dkestivtf organs alone were out of; order. He was still, however, so weak, that every one was com- pletely taken aback when it was announced that he was matched with his quondam friend Catmt; and no one, as we have already said, would believe that it would erer qome to a battle, thinking it impossible for Nat to stand the neoessary training. Into training, however, he went, first at Dover, and then at Stock-, bridge, and by steadiness and perseverance he got himself into splendid fettle; and to our minds he certainly looked biggar, stronger, and healthier, although of course somewhat older than when he fought either Hftrry Orme or Tom Sayers. We i to the post fit to go, and as . ust be pretty well exhausted, • • "— crt have now brought both our herd our readers' stock of patience we must come THE FIGHT. Round 1. On toeing the scratch the disparity between the a battle, which was certainly as well worth seeing as almost any - of the modern battles between big men. Those with whom we enured into conversation on the subject appeared to eutert^ n but two opinions on the matter, either the men wfculd be looked up and held to bail, or it would ba a ' pulling and hauling business, in which Caunt would hug his man and hang upon him at the ropes, and so overwhelm him by his enormous superiority in pure flesh and bone, science being out of the question. At one time, indeed, so catching is suspicion, we began to participate in the general distrust, and actually had our fears that wo should hear of a domiciliary visit having been paid to each man by Sir Richard Mayne or some or ms minor satellites; an- Tit was with feelings of satisfaction we learned, at the eleventh hour, that " due precautions had been taken on either side, and that both men were in excellent health aid spirits and eager for business. They did not show on Monday night at Tom Paddock's benefit, which we were glad to hear was a bumper, and in this tUey were perfectly justified. Both, however, were in town, Nat taking up his quarters with a friend in Long- acre, and Bon at Cam- bridge Heath, so as to be well out of reach of danger. The means of conveyance had been agreed upon by Dan Dis- more on the part of Nat Liagham, and Jemmy Shaw and Ben Butler en the part of Beu Caiyit, and these agents on Thursday week at our office agreed to hire two steamboats between them, ' Mie for first and the other for second- class passengers. It was that the men and their friends should proceed to the same place by the 7: 50 a. m. train on the eventful morning. In the course of Monday, however, it seems that suspicion arose ( unfounded as it turned out) in the minds of Nat's friends I that it would be unsafe to start from Tilbury, aad they tele- graphed to the owner of the boats to change the venue and mus- ter at Southend. They did not seem to think it necessary to communicate with Caunt or his uncle, concluding of course that they would be at the Loudon terminus at the time arranged, and that then everything could be settled. At the time appointed Ben Butler and Young Ben ( Caunt's son) were at Ferichurch- street, but Gaunt did not show, and we thought of course he had adopted some other means of conveyance. TMr- fBibHry. however, Uscle Ben and Jemmy Shav came to us, and said that Caunt expected the boat at Tilbury, and had not heard of any alteration. Here again our suspicions arose that some casualty had happened, and that there would ba no fight. Ben's friends could give no reason for his uot being at the appointed station in the morning, and ail seemed quite nonplussed. To add to other difficulties there were no signs of Fred, j Oliver and the ropes and stakes, although he had been distinctly teld by us on Friday at what time the expedition was to leave London. This state of things cast a gloom on the travellers, many of whom had serious thoughts of returning to town. On persuasion, however, they made ujs their minds to " see it out," and as the train could not be slopped, all resumed their seats and sped on to Southend, hoping to Sua Caunt there, or, at any rate, to hear some tidings of hitu^ T^ n reaching this spot all at once made their way to the pier- head, but not a word could be heard of the ex- c'aampion or of the ropes and stakes. Butler at once went on board one boat ( that etian or _._. _ either Bendy or Camit, and from the description the whole affair must have been a scene 6t- waything but an inviting character. The Nottingham Lambs, whoatrpmicMnt for the Bold Bendy is well known, mustered in extraordrnitt^ LjOree, and threatened Caunt and hi3 friends with every kind of vtoleo. ee if they could men was of course extraordinary. Ben Caunt, barring his mug, a His ~ frame 4nd powerful as he went to his corner and giving him a dig, while Ben, whose ! legs and arms— the former set off to the . best advantage by pink scientific acquirements were never first- rate, resorted to the silk stockings and well- made drawers— presented a sight worth going some distance to see ; and as he stood over old Nat any Nne would have agreed with Jerry Noon, that it wa3 " Chelsea spital to a sentry- box" in his favours - He smiled good hu- mredly, and had clearly made up his mind to win in a trot, - t was, as usual, clear in skin, and neatly made at all points, shoulders and arms were well covered with muscle, and for an " encounter with a man of his own size he looked all that could be desired; but as to his being a match for Ben Caunt it seemed too absurd to ba credited, and few, we think, expected to see: him " perform" with anything like effect. His attitude, as of' yore, was perfection, and his dangerous left was playing about close to his side all in readiness for one of his neat deliveries as Ben came in. Cauat stood j ust as he ever stood, very square on his pins, his brawny arms almost straight out before him, w hich he ever and anon moved backwards and forwards with ail the delibera- tion of a oouple of pendulums. He had come, however, not to spar, but to fight, and after very little feinting he Went up to Nat, who retreated towards the ropes, and Ben at length lunged out left and right, just catching Nat with the former on the ribs, iand Nat was uown laughing. Caunt walked after Nat, sawing thereby gradually exhausting his strength. Bandy's hitting was terrific, and Ben's mug received such a painting that it never got over. Eventually, as is well known, Bendigo fell without a blow in the 75th round, at the end of 80 minutes, and the referee, a Mr Lockwood, although threatened with dire punishment, decided in favour of Caunt, Ben was instantly : removed from the ring, but had to cut and run to save himself. ! He was first dragged out of his carriage by Bandy's friends, and i then, on escaping from them and mounting a horse, was pulled down, and would have been roughly handled had not a few good men and true stuck to him and got him through the difficulty. As it was he had to walk to Selby, from whence he managed to get safely to his inn. He of course received the stakes. After this he appears to have | done nothing until his fight with Brassey, on the 27th October, i 1840. A fresh match, it is true, was made between him aad | Bendigo, which ended in a draw, and there was some sparring about a match between him and the poor old Deaf- ua, which ended in smoke. The fight with Brassey took place at Six Mile Bottom, Cambridgeshire, and, although anything bat scientific, was a rattling, exciting mill, and heavy punishment was de- livered ou both sides. 101 rounds were fought in 90 minutes. In the middle of the fight Brassey hums jnan so heavily that Beu was all abroad, and, had Brassey steadied Himself, he must ; have won. He was, however, too anxious, and boring in without precision, did no execution, and Ben was able to recover himself 12st 8lb. He, like most Ben's adversaries, adopted the get- down system, and his style is thus commented upon in Bell's Life of the period:—" Caunt was invariably the first to fight, but led off with nothing iik. o precision; repeatedly missing his blows and upper- cuts, many of which, had they told, would have been terrific. Brassey seamed to be fully aware of this mode of assault, and generally waited until he got within Caunt's guard, and thus succeeded in administering heavy punishment. This point once gained, he lost no time in getting down, feeling confident that in close contact he would Rot have a chance to escape annihilation. This, although far from a popular mode of contest, considering tlie inequality of the men in height and weight, is certainly to some extent excusable, and the only surprise is that so comparatively small a man . should have endured so much before he cried' enough.' The repeated visitations to his ribs from Caunt's right aaawley, or ' aledge- haiamer,' were searching in the extreme, and led to the belief that tlsree of his ribs had been broken, although subsequent examina- tion proved that he was only labouring under th « effects of severe contusions and inward bruises. In like manner the right handed deliveries behind his left ear, on the ear itself, and oh th& left eye and jaw— as well as the left- handed jobs— were so far from jocular, that we were not surprised the vis eomica had ceased to be displayed on his dial; and when to these visitations are added his repeated falls, with the weight of Caunt occasionally superadded to his own, and this in such rapid succession, the only wonder is that he should have held out se long, Caunt, in his'moclus operandi, wants a knowledge of the art. Like the yokels of old, before the principles of mechanism were discovered, he has to learn the proper application of his strength; of which, did he possess the requisite knowledge, he might bid defiance not only to such a man as Brassey, but even to the caperings of an avalanche. He is not like most men of his size, slow; on the contrary, he is too quick; and for the want of judicious de- liberation— like the run- away steam- engine without m attentive engineer— he overshoots his mark. This, if it be possible, he ought to correct, and, while he husbands his strength, where he does apply it he should measure not only his distance but the tactics of his opponent. Had he waited for his man, in- stead of leading off with a rush, he must have brought Brassey down every round; fbr- wtuing could resist the force of his heavy metal, if praperly applied." How far these remarks apply to the affair now in hand, will be seen in the sequel. On the 2d of February in the year after the above mill, Ben met and fought Nick Ward ( Jea's brother), a " young, powerful man, about six feet high, and weighing 12st 101b, , aad one well acquainted with the theory and practice of the art he possessed. Nick, like most of Caunt's opponents, resorted to , » « . , . i... _ . , f the dropping game; and in the seventh round, Ben, in a fit of reserved for first- class passengers), while Dan Dismore remained p^ ion at Nick's falling, so far forgot himself as to deliver two on the pier to sell tickets for the journey. Several boat loads o' hot ones on the middle of the head while Nick was on his !• persons, including the few Corinthians present, on obtaining and so lost the battle. Ben was not long in making a , , , ., ... t; ,' , " * fresh match, and they met as? ain, on the 11th of May follow- tickets, at once proceeded to tne privileged vessel; but here was , ingi at Lons Marsden, for £ 100 a side. They fought 35 rounds found Mr Ben Butler enacting the character of Cerberus, and 4; in 47 minutes, I> ick still getting down ; but ultimately he cut it, inexorably refusing admission to any person who did not pay ' V> eito^ co^ viLiceci io h omirotl tliaLt lieri was the better man. ,. , .. , Caunt was now proclaimed cnampion of England, and was pre- lum an extra sovereign. In vain did every one assure him and j sented with a belt at Jem Burn's. He shortly afterwards thot thoy had pwid Dismore—* ho we testified was started for America on a tour, and returned to this country one of the hirers of the boats, and was also a man who could be March 1842, in company with Charles Freeman ( the American . . . . i u i • i , . T giant), and it was not long afterwards that he went into business trusted to do what was right on such an occasion. In ram < i at his present hostelrie, the Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane. • ae men and their'friends should meet at our offioe tke following1 ay to discuss the matter, when all were calm, and had had time m think over the affair. Owing to the low state of the tide when the fight was over, great deal of ie travellers obtained mud baths at 6 verjy much less than such a luxury would' have cost i& Germany. The/ consequence of the delay was, that the eieht'o'clodk train wis misaid, aud there being no other until 9: 30/ the travellers, weary, muddy, aud wet, but toler^ tejy well satisSfed with their ent^ finment, did not reach the" metropolis until nearly twelve o'cloi*, The following morning the referee took JfcuSsftpportunity of laying the case before a Corinthian patron of tlie sart, who, al- though, no longer a frequenter of the ring side, " was for many years one of the staunchest attendants, and certainly has more expsrience in such matters than any amateur out. _ That gentlemen, after thinking over the matter for a few minutes, said he was of opiniOiirthere could be no doubt as to the course of the referee. There had been, he said, no appeal to him to stop the fight— there was no reason for his interference, as he could see both men perfectly, and he had stated there was sufficient daylight for eight or ten more rounds. The men had shaken liauds in the ring, and, putting Dismore and his statement out of the question as unnecessary adjuncts to the case, he was of opinion that the men, by voluntarily quitting the ring without any appeal being_ madp. hy themselves or their umpires, had clea. rly taken the whole aimr ouTof ttiG rereree's nauiiij, and alto- gether deprived him of any power in the matter. At the appointed hour both men and their friends were in attendance at our office— Nat all but scatheless, while Beu had an ugly cut on his nose, and his left peeper was partially closed. He had also other sev& re marks of punishment on various parts of his dial, and his hajids were much puffed. Both men made their statements. Caunt re- peated that he fully believed Nat had agreed to draw stakes when he shook hands with him and his uncle, or he should never have consented to leave off fighting, as there was still daylight for ten or a dozen rounds. He was then warm, and felt confident he covild have won. He was as strong as ever on his legs, and was convinced that Nat had done all he knew. Langham, in reply, denied that this was the case. He under- stood that Dismore only proposed a postponement until aisother day, as it was not likely they could finish that evening. He shook hands with Gaunt and jiis uncle because he did not think 2. Both very quick to time, the air with both fins, and as he got close he sent out his left, Piow » iuu, '. but Nat, quick as lightning, shot out his left on the kisser, and ultimately to administer the coup de grace. Brassey was a ' i drawing first blood from Ben's upper lip, and got down, • fine, powerful young fellow, about six feet nigh, and weighing • 3 After a little dodging Nat feinted, and let fly his left Straight iioatsih HA likfi most, of Rp. n's advp. rsaris.

Slight exchanges followed on the sido of the wig block, and Nat was again down out of harm's way. 4, No time cut to waste, Caunt went to his man and poked out his left, just catching Nat ou tho chin, ana Nat dropped. 5. Nat fiddled Ben to within distance, and then popped his larboard daddle on Ben's jowl, which led to heavy exchanges, Caunt getting on to Nat's cranium above the left peeper, and receiving ou the cheek, and Nat fell. | 6, After one or two passes they got close, and very slight ex- changes took place, when Nat got down. 7. Caunt stalked up to Nat, swung his mawleys slowly round, and then dropped the left on Nat's left cheek, Nat nailing him prettily at the same tiiue ou tha 4a£ t- squinter, and Nat down olumsiiy, Cauut carefully stepping over him. 8. Caunt again approached Nat, and lunged out his left, Nat countering him quickly on the right peeper. Ben got home on the left cheek, and Nat fell. 9. Nat dodged about for an opening, and then got sharply home ou the left cheek. Cauut returned very slightly on the side of the uut, and Nat down. / g j 10. Both sparred a little for wind, but sooa wenft to close quar- i ters, when, after a very slight exchange oh 4fef* Tbrehea< i, Nat ! sought Mother Earth. Tne 11th round was Precisely similar j to this. 1 12. Nat, after a few passes, got within distance and shot out j his left as straight as a dart on Ben's conk, inflicting an ugly cut > on the bridge, and drawiug more claret. The blow had double force from^ he fact that Beu was coming in at the time. He • OTred jju ancLNat KOt . down at the ropes. 13- at again timea nis man juagmancauy wita ins lert on the proboscus, and slipped down from the force of the blow. He recovered himself, however, and after a little sparringgot sharply on Ben's " tenor trap." Ben retaliated, but not effectively, on Nat's cheek, and Nat fell. 14. Nat feinted, and dropped smartly on the snorer. He tried again, but missed, and in getting away slipped down. 15. Langham missed his left, and slight exchanges followed at the ropes, where Nat got down, Caunt again, in the most manly way, refraining from falling on him, as he might have done as he went down. 16. Ben took the first move, and got home, but not heavily, on Nat's jaw. They then sparred a bit, and. on getting close Caunt lunged out his one, two, on Nat's left cheek, but the blows appeared to have no steam in them. Nat popped a straight one on the left brow, and dropped. 17. Slight exchanges, no damage, and Ben bored his man down at the ropes. •— ~ 18. Nat let fly his left, but Ben was too far off. Ben, however, went to him, and slight exchanges took place, Nat 011 the mark and Caunt on the side of the head, and Nat down. 19. After slight exchanges, Ben got home sharply on the back of Nat's brain'nan. and Natlell. „ —- 20. No time lost. They walkedup to ona another, and at once let fly, Cauut on Nat's forehead, and iVat on the left brow, and Nat down. 21. Good exchanges, but Nat straightest, getting another good one on Ben'sconk, aud renewing the juice. Cauut touched Nat's forehead, and Nat down without a visible mark of pu- ing that he certainly was not authorised to say they had agreed to draw their money, whatever his own impression might have been. He was of opinion then that it would have been a proper course, and that opinion he still entertained; and he would willingly give £ 5 or £ 10 out of his own pocket to see them shake hands and make up their differenses. Tern Sayers, who was also present, said he had left the ring with the idea that his principal had agreed to draw the money, and ha had no idea until some time afterwards thafT$ jit- IiiKt^ contem- plated a renewal of hostilities. The referee, after hearing both sides, said he had thought the matter over very carefully, and had come to a conclusion in his own mind, before consulting the gentleman above referred to, and he was glad to find that conclusion coincided with the opi- nion of his adviser. The men had taken the matter quite out of his hands. They had made an arrangement between themselves, had shaken hands and left the ring without asking his opinion or appealing to him in any way, although he stood close to the ropes and stakes at the time they were shaking hands, and what other conclusion could he arrive at than that tiey had amicably settled their differences P That a misunderstaMing had arisen as to future arrangements was to be regretteg, but he bad no power whatever to name another day. If his advice were asked, it would be that they should shake hands, but if tkey did not Charlesworth, that he will not allow his man to fight again, and calling upon us to return his money. This we cannot do with- out mutual consent, and the case must therefore stand over. GILLINGHAM AND FEOMB BOB.— In this match which, as we stated last week, a draw was agreed on. Gillingham has written to have his money sent to him at Mr Henry Vicary's, Turf Tavern, Diamond- street, Barnstable ; but we have received a letter from a Mr Wootton, desiring it may be sant to the Coaeh and Horses, High- street, Newport. Which is oorrect ?

SWIMMING.— BECKWITH AND WESTKON.— The swimming match between Frederick Beckwith of Lauibeih and James Westron of Bloomsbury, for £ 20 a side aud the Championship of England, came off last Wednesday at the Wenlock Baths, City- road. The first- mentioned of these competitors is the well- known swimming master of the Westminster Balhs, and has long held undisputedly the title of champion. After holding thi3 supremacy for a lengthened period Beekwith at length found an opponent willing to coutend with him ; therefore the present match was made, the stipulated conditions being to s wim a quarter of a mile, for £ 20 a side. Such was the excite- , . , . , ,. -,- Mn- • . , limit created by this match that the whole of this spacious tK ought to leave the ring without performing that e/ romony, bu; idinf; was crowded in everv available part. Both competitors Dan Dismore repeated the statement he had already made, aad- • - • - • - - - had a host of sanguine admirers, among whom much heavy betting took place, the odds being slightly in favour of Beck- with. The men had to go four times up and down the bath to complete the prescribed distance, and, when the umpires and referee had been chosen, the competitors made their appearance on the diving board, amidst loud cheering. Having responded in the affirmative to the question of " Are you ready ?" the signal for them to start was given, when they instantly sprung off and commenced the match. In going the length of the bath the first time little or no advantage was obt? dned, and the contest for su- periority continued until they had accomplished half the specified distance, when the matchmaybe said to have been virtually over, for Westren was now left so rapidly iu the rear by his antagonist that it was apparent he had not the remotest chance left. As a proof that he himself considered the struggle as hopeless he stopped swimming on the commencement of the fifth turn, leaving Beckwith all alone iu his glory to finish the match. Mr Wallace, who backed Westron, is yet willing to let his man have another chance of retrieving his lost laurels, and a fresh match has already been made to swim the same distance, Beckwith staking the odds of £ 39 to £ 20, Such liberal conduct on the part of Mr Wallaoe, after the easy defeat of his man, proves him to be a sportsman of the genuine stamp. Beckwith was trained for the match by J. Walker, their head- quarters being the The stakes are to ba given up on Thursday evening next at Mr Hunt's, Westminster- road, opposite tfee Swimming Baths, and Beckwith can have them from us by calling at our office at noon on that day.

It was now nearly t tvelve o'clock, aud all began anxiously to look for the half- hour, at which time the next train was due at So athend. by which it was, ofjeqijXEe^ g& ngctnrt t. fcaft JBeu would come. Half, past twelve, one o'clock arrived, the train had been in some time, but still there was no appearance of Beu ou the pier. At length an emissary was sent ashore, and he ascertained that Caunt and the ropes and stakes had been embarked on board an opposition tug, singularly enough called the Ben Bolt, at Tilbury, and that they were on the way to join the flotilla as quickly as possible. It was two o'clock or nearly so before Ben Bolt hove iu sight, with Ben flaunt nn hoard. i » nd on his £ aiujjig_. the vessel ill which his wtiETe up to this time had remained almost solus, Ben went on board, and then there was a long discus- sion as to the payment for the hire of the boats, which even up to this time had by some extraordinary mismanage- ment been omitted. Butler again resorted to unparlia- mentary language, hinting that Dismore had received all the money from passengers, and did not intend to come to a just settlement. Caunt, however, acted in a very different spirit. He came to us in the quietest manner, aud said he had been misled as to the time of starting, and also as to the alteration of the rendezvous, and had had some difficulty in get- ting down at all. He bad come, however, with the intention of fighting, aud he was content to ltave everything to us. He did not wish to asperse any one's character, and was quite content to take Dismore's word as to the amount he had received from the passengers. This was speaking like a man, and the question was quickly set at rest. Dan boarded Caunt's ship, they dived into the cabin, and the business was settled in a " brace of shakes." . We. have alluded to all thio oWioreise uninteresting discus- sion, partly for the purpoao ot ^ omimiim, IIUJI Duller tu ita civil tongue makes more friends than enemies, and partly to enter our protest against such a general hodge- podge of mismanagemet: and misunderstanding, from first to last, being allowed again U. occur. As will be seen iu the sequel, it was the means of pre- venting a satisfactory termination to the battle, and also led to a good deal of angry discussion and further misunderstanding, which even one hour's earlier start would, in all probability, have entirely obviated. Who was most to blame it is im- possible to say. It would only have been gracious on the part of Nat's friends, to communicate with Cauut as to the alteration of the starting place, and so far some blame cer- tainly attaches to them; but, on the other hand, it was clearly arranged at our office that all should go by the 7: 50 a. m. train from Fenchurch- street, and had Caunt been in time for this train all would have been well, but whether his uncle did or did not communicate with him on this point is a question we cannot settle. As we said before it was altogether a mull, and we do hope ia future that matters of this kind will be entrusted to responsible persons, and not left to cantankerous suspicious people, whose only idea appears to be that every one is trying to " best" them out of something. Caunt himself we entirely ac- fche hug, aud upon his conduct on the occasion we again quote a few reisarks from Bell of the period. " We deny, however, that Bendigo's stv le of assault is either fair or honourable; it is, on the contrary, treacherous, and differs widely from our notions of ' a fair stand- up fight.' It may be said that so small a man as Bendigo in opposition to a man of Caunt's superior height and weight was justified in having recourse to stratagem, and that ' ail is fair in war ;* this we deny ; aud the rules of English box- ing are utterly opposed to such practices. The greatest coward that ever breatked might conquer the bravest if he is to be al- "" ' peof down tuVriTana'ifso small a man can only compete with a bigger man upon such terms, he ought not to make a match. If he enters tie ring as a British boxer lie must abide by the rules of British boxing, and violating them he ought to suffer the penalty of nis own conduct. That Bendigo is a brave man, a hard hitter, and possessed of jrooa science, we readily acknowledge, ana we know of no man of the same weight and age now in vhe field who could successfully compete with him. In his contest with Caunt, however, these qualities were dimmed by the adoption of the most objectionable tricks. Over and over again did he creep on his man with tho stealthycunuingofatiger, deliver the mostsmashing hits, and then drop down aud laugh at the success of his tactics. By this means he punished his adversary aud almost escaped punishment himself. Is this conduct that Jem Ward, the late Champion © f England, and the most accomplished boxer of the age, can approve or defend ? We answer without hesitation, No. We have seen him over and over again at the scratch, and never saw him guilty of an act down to avoid. An appeal of foul was made, but " not by the 1 umpires. The referee, however, sent Nat's ump& e to him to caution him. , > 23. Nat fiddled and ded » ; p< l until Oauut dw « rHM » ek his arm, when pop went" the left on Ben's cheek.

Nat missed his first delivery, but in a second effort caught Ben on the body, Caunt retaliating with a swinging round hit on the cranium, and Nat down. 26. Sharp exchanges ; Nat on the gob, and Ben on the side of the canister, and Nat down, Ben as usual stepping over him, but asking him why he did not sta » d up and have a round. 27. Ben went to his man, and begun business by lunging out both hands, but he missed, aud Nat popped his left on the whistler. Ben, however, returned on the cheek, just drawing claret, and Nat down. 28. Ben again succeeded in reaching Nat's cheek with his right, drawing more ruby, aud Nat fell. 29 and 30. After the most trifling exchanges in these rounds, Nat got down, much to the annoyance of Ben, who, however, preserved his eood temper, aud merely remonstrated with his cunning opponent. 81. Nat dodged and popped his left sharply on the mazzard, received the merest excuse for a blow, and dropped. 32. In this round the exchanges were very slight, Jint Nat's were straigbtest.- As usual he was down. 3;!. Nat crept in, let go his left on Ben's lip, which he cut, and Nat fell on his back from tho force of his own blow. 34. Ben, whose warbler was bleeding, rushed at Nat, and regu- krlv bored him down. „ To go into details of the next few rounds would be merely a repetition of what we have already written. Nat feinted, dodged, timed his man with the greatest precision whenever he moved his arms, and although his blows did not seem very heavy they still were always " there or thereabouts," and poor old Ben's mug begun to be all shapes. The manly fellow, however, never grumbled; he went straight up to be planted upon, and although he occasionally got home a body blow or a round hit ou the side of Nat's occiput, still he left no visible marks. Once or twice Jemmy Shaw claimed foul on the groufid that Nat fell without a blow, but Nat was cunning enougn to keep just within the pale of the law. There was not ofejouud in which he did not go down, and Ben invariably waited to lis corner. In the 43d round Ben got the first knock down blow oa Nat's forehead. In tKtPSSth he bustled in witn desperation, but Nat i met him full iu the mouth, and then on the snorter, with his Jeft, drawing the crimson from each, Ben returned ou the top Having gone so fully into details of this affair, it will bs un- necessary for us to weary our readers with many remarks either upon the respective styles of the combatants or the untoward result of the battle. Caunt, from first to last, showed not the slightest improvement in his style of fighting ; nor was it likely that after a life of ease and abstinence from athletic exercises ( if from nothing else) the case would have been otherwise. His position was unartistic. He held his arms too high, and never displayed the least head or judgment in his efforts to get at his shifty opponent. He was always too quick and too anxious to be doing something, and thereby threw away many chances, and also put himself at the mercy of the crafty Nat, who seldom or never failed to avail himself of Big Ben's incautiousness. Unartistic as he was, however, no one will deny that Caunt upheld the character he has invariably borne of a manly upright boxer, disdaining to avail himself of repeated opportunities which was not consistent with fair and manly bearing; but Ljf the forehead, and Nat got down, without going to the top of the tree, we would ask any of the 49- Nat crept in craftily, and popped a little one on the men who, like Jem Ward, have distinguished themselves for their snuffer- tray, and this led to a tremendous counter- hit, Cauut on manly bearing in the Ring, whether such conduct is charac- i the cheek and Nat on the jaw very heavily, drawing more ruhy. teristic of fair fighting? The answer, we are » ersuaded, would Nat fell, his nut first reaching the ground, and Ben staggered to be to the same effect.

By great exertions, and a little extra time, his seconds got him up--* © the scratch. Nat, how- ever, was not iu a much better state. Both were severely shaken. 50. Nat on coming up was evidently slow, but, to the surprise sistent with fair play suddenly to jump up and unexpectedly administer a blow, perhaps behind his back, when he is totally unprepared for defence? Who will say that such a stratagem in fair fight is allowable? and yet, can it be denied that Bendigo repeatedly had recourse to such a mode of attack ? With these facts before us, can we for one moment admit that Caunt has been fairly beaten, or that the man ta whom victory has been awarded by the referee, is honourably and honestly entitled to possess the enviable position of Champion of England ?" Of Caunt it is remarked that he was deficient in science and utterly wauting in knowledge as to the use of t he gifts that nature gave him." This was Ben's last appearance until Tuesday last, and we think that his best friends will not deny that it would have been far better if, after the ^ W ™ teTX leave of this branch of the subject, and come ; () f so many years he hac1 deolmed again to enter upon a at once to the pith of our subject. By a quarter- past two o'clock ^ fS llHy t0 h, igaAufcd" everything being settled, the office was given, and an experienced {[ « ^^ nt ^^ to toii^ at h » oW quarters, the Grey- pilot conducted the flotilla, which now numbered four steam- ^^^ fii^ rt « ewre wwk and boats besides innumerable small craft, to the proposed seeae ff? I J action, within a very short distance of the spot where Tom •^ Sayers and Aaron Jones settled their differences. Against a! f1 ™ hlb " ainmg he gave many proofs that this gift had not SffiSSS offThlpo^ r1Tto rTe/ ani now given our^ reates a sufficient dose of Ben Caunf, stakes were at once sent ashore, and Oliver with due dili- gence proceeded to erect the ring, but we must say we cannot compliment him upon its artistic construction or the firmness of its setting- up. Poor old Tom wan sadly missed, and many expressions of regret were his continued ill health. The number of persons present, was extremely large, but of Corinthians there was a lamentable ab- sence, arising, there can be no doubt, from the before- mentioned suspicions as to the men's intentions. As soon as the arena was ready, the combatants, who were evidently all agog to be at it, tossed their caps into the ring, Nat being the first to uncover his canister, Ben being not two seconds behind him. Both looked hard aud healthy, but their mugs bore very distinct traces of their being veteran boxers. Ben of course looked the older man, but his not handsome dial was as brown as mahogany, and looked as hard as a nutmeg- grater. Nat's phiz was smoother, softer, and of a lighter tint, but there was a hue of health upon it that we have not seen there for many a day. They shook hands, but it was evi dent that the ceremony was against the grain. As four we must elai - n their attention for a brief space to record the doings of old Nat. The Leicester Pet was born in 1820, at Hinckley, Leicestershire, and his fighting weight is about list, his height being 5ft lOin. His first encounter was for £ 5 a side, uttered at wilil one at Hinckley, February 2d, 1843, and was won by Nat in eight rounds. After this he came to London, and having shows some points as a sparrer, was taken iu hand by Ben Caunt, and became a regular frequenter of his sparring room. His first appearance in the London ring was with Tom Lowe, a eoalheaver, weighing about 12st. They fought for a purse, on the 7th of May, 1844, in the same ring as Joe Bos- tock ana the Wyenwood Forester. Nat had no fighting shoes, and fought in his stockings. 43 rounds were got through in 50 minutes, when the Coaley cried " a go." It was a good mill, aud Nat displayed, some poiuts which indicated future greatness. On the 12th of June, 1845, he defeated Doctor Campbell, a man considerably bigger than himself, in 35 minutes and 25 rounds. He then, on the 23d of September, 1846, fought Gutteridge, who stood about 5 feet 11 inches, and weighed list 71b, for £ 25 a side. ^ o.^ „ n'Aii « . ir wm fast hinted that_ aa.. time ought from the hour of twelve till four, and from eight till ten in the to Ue lost, and the men at once proceeded to accomplish their to go in. After a short spar, Ben got ou to Nat's jaw, staggering him; Nat returned sharply on the left eye and nozzle. After heavy exchanges on the body Nat fell. 51. Iu this round Ben just missed Nat as he was falling, and caught the stake very heavily with his left, which was thereby rendered useless, or nearly so. From this to the 60th and last round there was nothing to call for particular notice. Nat pursued his defensive tactics, and his pop for nothing when there was a chance. Still, however, old Ben kept swinging his dangerous limbs about, and every now and then got heavily on Nat's body and left shoulder, and occasionally on the top of his head. Nat fell every rouud, but oftentimes he had to do it so quickly, owing to the close proximity of Ben, that he fell most awkwaydiv for himaali'. and he must havejbeeu shaken severely. He gradually got tired, and Caunt, whose dial was much cut about, was evidently puzzled what to be at. At length, in the sixtieth round, after a little sparring and a slight exchange, they stood and looked at one another, and rubbed their chests. Neither seemed disposed to begin, and it was pretty clear that each had the same end in view, namely, to protract the battle until it was dark. Each, doubtless, felt that he was unable to finish that day, and did not feel disposed to throw a chance away by going in and getting an unexpected finisher at close quarters. After stanu'iig several minutes, Dan Dismore came to us, and said it was a pity that men who had been such close friends should proceed any further with hostilities, aad suggested that it would be much better if they forgave and forgot their qfmwl, and shook hands. W « coincided with Daa- in his kindlv opinion, aud he then took upon Himself to go into the ring and suggest some such arrangement, and in doing so he said he would gladly give £ 5 out of his osg& pocket to see them bury their animosity there and then, and draw Jneir stakes. Oaunt said he was willing if Nat was, and after a lijftle consideration Nat held out his mawley, which was cordially shaken by old Ben, and then Laugham went with Caunt into/ he oorner of the latter, " jr and also with Oaunt's falling upon an opponent when he dropped in the not very manly manner that Nat, on many occasions, certainly did. From first to last Ben never lost his temper. He received all Nat's props with the greatest sang froid, smiling upon him and sometimes shaking his head at him for his shiftiness. As to Caunt's game there never was, and never can be, a question. He was punished mast severely, and yet he never once flinched or showed signs of not liking it. The only remark he condescended to make from time to time in his corner was, that Nat had done all he could and that he must be getting weak. He did not wish to win by a foul, and on several occasions when his seconds desired to appeal he said he would rather try to win on his merits. In adaition to the punishment on his mug, he contrived to seriously injure both hands; and, should it be determined that the battle be renewed, there can be no doubt it will be long before he will find his daddies sufficiently recovered to justify hici in his own mind in again meeting Nat in the magic circle. Of Nat Larr-'- ham it is not necessary to say very much. As we have before remarked, he was fitter to tight than we thought he ever could be, and was as confident as if all had been settled. There was all the old cunning and extraordinary quickness with his left, and, if possible, he had improved both in his powers of timing his props and his judgment of distance. He, like Caunt, never for a moment flinched from his receipts, which, on mai> y occa- sions, must have been anything but agreeable; and, so long as he stood on his pins, he faced his man with unruffled indifference. Sj That he went down on many occasions in a suspicious manner cannot be denied, and that this occurred on some few occa- sions when he was not in danger is equally true; but he aimost invariably kept just within the pale of the law. several times he was hit, and hit severely, and when Jemmy Shaw appealed to the referee as to his falling, on most such occasions he received a gentle tap, just sufficient to save hi--, but still he persevered in the practice much toe ^ mscantly to admit of our stating that it » f& u staua- up light on his part. His friends contena that when a man is opposed to such superior weight and strength he is justified in resorting to such shifts to enable him to withstand his opponent, but this we deny. The rules of the Ring say distinctly " it shall be a fair stand- up fight," and if a man cannot vanquish an opponent of heavier metal than himself by fair means, he has no business to make a match with him. Nat knew perfectly well Caunt's superiority in height and weight, and Caunt is perfectly justified in his observation that this knowledge ought to have deterrad him from match- making except on the usual terms. That Nat's shifty tactics arose from co ivardice would of course be a ridiculous suggestion. Every- one who has seen him fight knows that a braver man never pulled off his shirt, and no one we ever saw enter a ring has impressed us with so just an idea of what may be accomplished by science and judgment; but stili we cannot help repeating a re- mark we have over and over again made— we do not and cannot admire the hit and drop system, which is not consonant with the principles on which, and on which alone, we can uphold British boxing, and we earnestly entreat the gallant Nat, should the match be renewed, rather to imitate the conduct of his quondam opponent, Tom Sayers, and, by the active use of his pins, keep out of the way of his ponderous but by no means judgmatical opponent, and so set a still brighter example of that manly straightforward species of British boxing which cannot fail to add to the laurels he has so long and so deservedly worn. The fight lasted onehour and twenty- nine minutes. As to the vexata qucestio cf the renewal of hostilities, we have few observations to make. The referee was unquestionably right in his decision, and in this opinion we have been confirmed by every uuiuterested person we have consulted. The men by leaving the ring without applying to him, or consulting him iu any way, clearly exonerated him from all further trouble or anxiety in the matter. It was taken out of his hands, and if, as subsequently it turned out, a misunderstanding arose, it was plainly competent for each man to have his own opinion, and make his own statement as to the arrangement that had been made, and utterly impossible for the referee to decide which was in the right, or to show favour or affection on either side, when the word of one was as good as the other; and it would have been especially hard for him to assume a power though he had it not when the balance of evidence, so far as it went, was in favour of the man who contended that the referee had no longer any voice in the matter. The unlooked- for conclusion was entirely a misinterpre- tation on one side or the other of Dan Dismore's kindly inten- tions, but to hold him responsible in any way would be cruel in the extreme. What he did we are convinced was done with the most friendly motives to both men. He was anxious that they should once more renew their former footing of intimate friend- ship, and if he failed in his good purpose, it is a subject of regret, but certainly not of imputation upon one who did all for the best. With tnese few observations we take our leave of tho matter, trusting that both men will yet see the propriety of taking Ouid Dan's advice.

There is now a plentiful supply of all kinds of Hops in the Borough; but large buyers still stand aloof, the demand being confined to sinali parcels for the requirements of the moment.

To speak too highly of this ground, which Captain Woodhouse has himself procured, would be an impossibility, for, in addition to its having every care and attention, it is naturally a first- rate soil, and when the match was concluded, the wickets were equally as good as when it began. The contest was got up through the liberality of the captain, assisted also by a great admirer of the game, Mr Jos. Grummitt, both of whom have been ably instructed by Royston, the well- known bowler at Lord's. A certain portion of the ground had to be canvassed, and the marquees, tents, and booths were plenteous for the accommodation of the public, all of which was under the judicious management of Mr. Rumney, of the Griffin Hotel. To enter into details of the fine cricket that was exhibited would be more than our columns could pos- sibly afford, hut we cannot refrain from adding that the captain brought too strong a team to contend with this Eleven. The " unknown" gentlemen were too good and numerous, coupled with the valuable assistance of the professionals. Mr M'Dougall, a gentleman who has played with the A. E. E., and well known at Cambridge University, played a magnificent innings of 26, comprising a three, four twos, and singles; with Mr Dyer, they, the two first wickets, remained upwards of an hour, for 25 runs; the latter was then bowled by Caffyn, who was substituted for Griffith; his figures were three twos, & c. Mr Daft's 35 was not so good an innings as one could expect for the number of runs and so good aground: his figures were a three, eight twos, & c. Mr Tomblin, of the Cambridge University Eleven, made a good 8, as did also Mr Nash 10, by two threes, & c. Mr Sills, a player well known at Grantham, contributed an excellent 9. Jackson, an amateur member of the Irnham Park Club, gave his share of 8, by three twos, & c. The bowling of Wisden and Caffyn was admirable, which will speak all the more in favour of the batting department. The fielding of the Eleven could not have been surpassed. At twelve o'clock on Tuesday the Eleven commenced their innings, Caffyn, Wisden, and Lillywhite being the only ones who could accomplish scores. Tinley, when he was substituted for Willsher, commenced with his slows, but these Lilly punished, and he then went on with his fast, and bowled beautifully, completely " sticking up" Lillywhite. We could not, however, understand why he was substituted for Willsher, who, we are certain, never bowled better, if so well, for so long a time. Every ball was at the wicket, and it was impossible to score, and yet he was taken off for these slows. The wickets fell— one for 2, two and three for 7, four for 41, five for 64, six for 75, seven for 85, eight for 86, nine for 97. At twelve o'clock on Wed- nesday the Twenty- two commenced their second innings, and when the stumps were drawn 125 runs were scored for the loss of sixteen wickets. Mr Daft and Willsher both played admirably— the former, an innings far exceeding in style his first. Royston stopped a long time with Mr Daft, and collared the bowling. Royston played in a manner well worthy of notice. The captain, it will be seen, brought out his bat for a score of 10, made by four twos, and singles ; he made one very fine square leg- hit and a cut. The match, as before stated, was drawn, but it will be fixed to take place next year earlier, when the captain will confine hiicself to the Irnham Club with four professionals.

This reserve has not only been per- ible in the Stock markets but in msst branches of trade, as BS are likely to be materially influenced by the oourse of its in that country. le inquiry for money has been exceedingly active, and the rato of per cent is in all instances demanded. There is leauently no expectation of a reduction while it is considered improbable that increased stringency may be experienced fcrds the end of the year. Gold is still leaving in large quan « s for the Continent, and although shipments to the East have ltly diminished, the specie Movement is not considered satis- Dry, especially as the remittances from New York have ceased, le Bank of England return, made up for the week ending L9th inst, shows the following resultsThe active circulation otes payable en demand was larger upon balance by £ 28,390, lg £ 18,901,215.

Since Monday last variation in the price of Consols has not been more than $ cent., aud it is difficult to imagine a more quiescent market n that which has prevailed. Speculation, as well as bond fide lings, are temporarily suspended, and for several days in suc- lion Consols have closed at precisely the same quotations. 1 India news, as well as the unsettled state of monetary affairs few York, may be said to be the principal causes of this • tness. Consols closed yesterday afternoon at 90 90| for ley, and at 90i 901 for the account.

' HE QUEEN'S COLLEGE, BIRMINGHAM.— From an announce- nt in The Times of Monday we observe that the examiners honours in the respective departments of this college have ferred, after mature deliberation, the degree of Bachelor of il Engineering ( B. C. E.), which the council under royal char- is empowered to confer, on James George Tuxford, the . ngest son of William Wedd Tuxford, head of the firm of tford and Sons, agricultural engineers, Boston, Lincolnshire. IAEING SACBILEGE.— On Monday the Bristol bench of ma- > rates were occupied for some time in examining two men, aed William Williams and John Hood, the latter a negro, 0 were charged with a sacrilege, accompanied by peculiar cir- astances of daring and atrocity, at the parish church of St m the Evangelist, Durdham Down. The poor- box was opened 1 plundered, and all the gowns, cassocks, and surplices of the listers, and masters' and bachelors' hoods, the communion n and altar cloths, collecting plates, < tc, were removed from places where they were kept, and packed in sacks prepara- r to removal. The prisoner Williams was found secreted er the seat of the churchwarden's pew. On his person were , e picklocks and skeleton keys, aud around his body a cu- isly constructed rope ladder. Whil3 the officers were en- jd in searching the inside of the sacred edifice, some person heard getting out of the broken window, and Hood was rwards found without any shoes secreted among some laurel 9. His shoes were found under the window ef the church, thieves, while in the church, had regaled themselves with bottles and a half of the sacramental wine, and having, like f Macbeth, made themselves bold, they cut up the registers arriages ( happily not so bad but that all will be able to be ped), and on the back of one of them wrote the following ident epistle: This is two prigs that has broak in here; forgive them; but where is your money gone te P Sined by aousebreakers. The police have reason to believe that the ners and some companions were the perpetrators of a re- aatensive burglary at Redland. The magistrates committed for trial on both charges.
