The value of experience is often said to be overrated, and re- cent occurrences in India and in this country prove it to be so. Our system of annexation raised against us iu former times a host of royal and princely enemies, whom we had to fight while our hands were overburthened with other serious matters ; and yet we have persevered in the system, not merely in disregard ° f warnings, but in defiance of experience. Our Government has assumed that military conquest was sufficient, and it was deemed that, when the Indian powers were beaten in the field, the Indian people would at once, and readily, cheerfully, and sincerely, become subjects of those whom iu their hearts they always called strangers and infidels. This system has been car- ried to a fearful extent by Lord Dalhousie, who, for his magni « ' fiwat achievements in thii way, has obtained a step in the peerage, and a life pension. It would havo been much better had he confined his efforts to consolidating the empire we did possess, for, in needlessly extending, he has but weakened it. The European army, on which • English authority in India now depends, is far too small for the widely- spread territories which it has to keep iu subjection. Is this a new state of things? Far from it. The same course of conduct has been constantly followed, and with much the same results. Cobbett, of course, did not allow such a matter to escape his keen observation, aad in the Register of Aug, 1S § 5 ( just 52 years ago) he censured the Government, and ridiculed that tolerant inertness of the people which permitted, if it did not actually approve, the system. We are reminded of this by the timely publication of a pamphlet, under the title of Mr Cobbett's Remarks on our Indian Umpire, containing some very curious extracts from his Registers between 1801 aad 1822. The Register we have above referred to seems to have been specially written for this day. Events have eome round, repeating themselves, with a sad addition, however, which threatens the very existence of that empire we had fondly imagined to be entirely unassailable. Let us turn frosa this matter to the contemplation of our present condition in the East. There we havo the satisfaction of knowing that there are some generals fit to vindicate the glory of the English name, and soldiers well able and willing to support them in their efforts to do so. But these soldiers are only few in number, and they have to contend, not ouly against odds, but against the advantages which our own wealth and rosouroas have created. Those advantages the presump- tuous folly of oar rulers has, iu confiding Delhi entirely to native troops, placed at the disposal of the mutineers, and t'ne 206,000 shot which, in one day's engagement at Delhi, tho mu- tineers are said to have used against the English, are our own pro- perty, now directed to our own destruction. Tho last intelli- gence is only hopeful in this respect, that it shows the indomit- able energy of the English, and thus attests their fitness, in one respect at least, for government. But no one can read the account of the reduced state of General Havelock's band of heroes without the deepest regret, nor know that Lucknow is unrelieved, without the most anxious alarm. General Havelock seems to be a new Clive in Indian warfare, but even he cannot contend against hostile populations, while his own men are reduoed in number and crushed by disease, as well as fatigue. Should he utterly fail he will incur no dishonour— should be happily succeed, he may fairly claim the highest honours whieh the country can bestow. THE ERFURT MEETING. In the dearth of political news political conjecture is busy. The Caar and the Emperor of the Frenoh have met. It i3 uow believed that the meeting will not terminate without the pre- sence of the Emperor of Austria aud the King of Prussia. All Europe is busy in speculation as to what the results of such a conference will be. Host men look to a re- arrangement of tar" ritory as probable. It is supposed that Italy may have a roparcelling, aud Germany itself undergo some modification. In this way the jarring interests of the rival potentates are to be reconciled, and past differences atoned for. This is a pretty theory, but for ourselves we entirely disbelieve it. Though completely victorious in diplomacy, through the court influences which made oar diplomatists appear to the world to be more vain and reckless than they are, Bussia suffered so much in the last war, that the Czar is at this moment quite unable to incur the risk of any serious contest. Austria's finances are iu a bad, her populations in a worse state, and the vacillating King of Prussia is not in any way to be trusted, while the Emperor of the French, though wildly desirous of obtain- ing military glory, would be absolutely unable to enter on any scheme of warfare in whioh his allies were to be Austria and Russia, and his foes might be Piedmont, Belgium, and England. Neither the French army nor the French people could be reconciled to that. As far as any warlike attempts are concerned Europe may be tranquillized. Any new Holy Alliance with the French Emperor as a member, would not be able to fire a cannon without lighting the flame of" a war of Principles" which would shake the thrones of most of the despotic bellige- rents to their foundations. No, it is not war, or even a new partition of states that is to be apprehended. But the meeting is not the lees ominous for the happiness of Europe. The ad- vancement of the cause of despotism is its object. What Louis Napoleon alone could not effect, he and his xew allies may hope to accomplish. His passionate desire to be admitted among Sovereigns as one of themselves ( he, whose alliance they all so contemptuously rejected), will uow bo gratified, and the wish common to them all, to fetter the press and to crush the exiles will now, no doubt, be presented to the English Cabinet in tke form of a joint note, and an urgent request. The uote may per- haps even contain a semblance of a threat, for England is now believed to be sore beset, and the necessities of the country may be looked fo as furnishing grounds for pliability on the part of the Government. This, we believe, to be the real meaning of the meeting at Erfurt. If we are right the anwer to any uote of the sort sup- posed must be a flat refusal. Any other would b « a folly no less than a dishonour. RABBITS IN GARDENS. There seems to be a fatality about anything relating to game as about all matters relating to horses. No man buys a horse, even from an intimate friend, without some suspicion that he is about to be " done," and no man has anything to do with arT matter under the game- laws without a moral certainty thai hardship will be inflicted, and the rules of common sense out raged. In principle, the present game- laws are not subject te serious objection. They require a money payment for a license te shoot, but then that is for the purpose of revenue, and, being a tax on mere unproductive amusement, the tax is not to be quarrelled with. The laws proceed also very much on the rule of property, and ef trespass against property, and in most respects they do not offeud against the common sense of man- kind. But there is a lurking mischief about them still, or, if not, the authorised administrators of them introduce the mis- chief as an accompaniment to the theme. A case occurred the other day at Sheffield, which, we think, is an illustration of this latter sort. A woman named Ann Coward, the wife of a cottager, was charged with having unlawfully killed a rabbit. It appeared that the rabbit, not the woman, was the trespasser, lor the rabbit had entered the woman's garden intent, no doubt, on a pleasant feast on the eabbages. The trespass was not the first of the sort that had been committed there, for the garden had suffered so much in that way that the owner had s^ t a trap. Into this trap the unlucky quadruped trespasser put his foot, and was caught, and was killed. A gamekeeeper saw the cap- ture and the death, and the result was an information against the woman. She was summoned before a Mr Corbett, who, having heard the case, asked her what she had to say, when she said that it was her husband's garden, that it had fre- quently suffered from these depredations, that he had therefore set a trap, and that she conceived she had a perfect right to kill the depredator. Mr Corbett told her that she was entirely wrong, that the fact of the garden being her owu made no difference, and that she must be fined, but under the circumstances he would not inflict the full fine, which was £ 2, but that she must pay 10s 6d. Such is the substance of the report of the proceedings. As it appears to be given in the ordinary way of a police report, we assume that we may treat it as correctly representing the facts of the case, and the doctrine and decision of the magistrate. Writing at this moment, without the aid of a copy of the statutes, we must suppose that there is some peculiarly absurd clause, which has hitherto escaped observation, and which, for the first time giving to rabbits the character ef the most rigidly protected game, subjects a person who kills one of them iu his owu garden liable to a penalty for so doing. Yet, if so, this peculiar clause must be in direct opposition to the general tener of tho present game- laws, and even to the spirit of those laws antecedent to their modern " amendment." The present law says that, with respect to game, always known as such, the right to shoot it shall be the subject of agreement between the landlord and tenant, thus recognising the principle, that the tenant's crops are not to be made the subject of devastation by game without the tenant being entitled to compen- sation. This decision, in fact, reverses that equitable prin- ciple so far as rabbits are concerned, by laying down the unqualified doctrine that a person has no right to kill a rab- bit caught in his own garden while destroying the produce of his own land. Can this be law, or has the reporter blundered as to the whole matter f Let us hope that the latter possibility is the true one, for in no sense of the word could the woman be said, under any of the statutes, to be " in pursuit" of game, nor is it easy to conceive that the mere act of defending one's own possessions and property should be made the subject of a con- viction and the matter of a pesal infliction. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. V THE REVENUE. The returns of the quarter's revenue, up to September SOth. present a very favourable view of the resources of the country » both as regards the quarter just ended and the completed year. Of course, there is a diminution in the actual receipts arising from the repeal of war taxes, but it is satisfactory to find that the decrease i9 not so great as was estimated. The returns for the quarter show a greater proportionate diminution than on the year, because on that portion of the year the reduction of the income and property tax came into operation, the total decrease on the quarter being £ 889,160, whilst on the whole sear there is ouly a decrease of £ 169,406. The reduction of income and pro- perty tax accounts for nearly half the deficiency on the quarter, and the Customs exhibit a falling off of £ 500,000 ot which £ 300,000 is on sugar aloue. In the Excise there is a decrease amounting to £ 148,000, arising from the repeal of the war duty on malt, though the actual consumption of the article has in- creased. There has been also an increased consumption of spirits, which, added to the payment of the hop duty deferred from the previous quarter, would have greatly increased the Excise revenue, but for the reduction of the malt duty. The Post Office exhibits an increase of £ 85,000 on the quarter, from the progressive increase of correspondence; and under the head " Miscellaneous" there appears an increase of £ 113,000, attributable to the sale of old stores, & c, from the naval and military departments. Oil looking at the year's revenue we find an increase iu the Customs, notwith- standing the large reduction of duties which have been in ope- ration for half a year, of £ 13,208, the chief items of increase having been on currants, corn, rum, tobacco, wine, and wood ; whilst there has been a decrease on tea, coffee, brandy, and silk manufactures. The repeal of the war duty on malt occa- sioned a total loss of Excise revenue on the year's account of £ 1,150,000; but the increase upen spirits (£ 500,000), hops (£ 180,000), paper, & c. (£ 128,000), so far restored the ba- lance that the total year's loss on the Excise has not exceeded £ 312,778. There was an increase on the year in the revenue from stamps amounting to £ 166,182, arising principally from the legacy and succession duties. The decrease on the receipts has occurred entirely during the last half- year, since the opera- tion of the reduction of war duties has come into effect, and it might have been anticipated that the falling-- off would have been much more considerable. Thus, the decrease on the last half of the year ending Wednesday amounts to £ 1,550,000, whilst the decrease on the whole year is only £ 169,406. ELECTION OF LOED MATOB.— The election of a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year took place at Guildhall on Tuesday. After some slight opposition, the election fell upon Sir R, Walter Carden. DAY OB HUMILIATION.—^ Wednesday next has been set apart by the Queen to be observed as a solemn fast aud clay of humiliation. I DEATH OE A COUNTS- COUET JUDGE.— We regret to have to announce the death of Mr Wm. Mackworth Praed, judge of the county- court of the district in which Plymouth and Devonport are included, who expired at the New London Inn, Exeter, on the 25th ult. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— A dreadful accident, by which a poor fellow was completely bisected, happened on the North Eastern Railway, near Darlington, on Friday night. It seems that the company is in the habit of granting cheap tickets— at about half the " Government" fare— to the Irish reapers, who travel about in large companies during the harvest season, send- ing them in open trucks by merchandise as well as passenger trains. The deceased obtained his ticket at Darlington, stating that he belonged to a party of reapers, including two or three of his brothers, who would arrive from the north next ( Saturday) morning, and would meet him at York. He was accordingly placed alone in an empty truck, attached to a goods train, and left for York about five or six o'clock. An engine coming to Darlington passed the train about two miles down the line, and the driver saw him dancing, and apparently in high glee. At a short distance farther on, however, he was subsequently found lying on the line, out in two, and presenting a frightful appear- ance. The probability is, that having a sharp incline to go up near Croft station, the driver had, by putting on more steam, given a sudden jerk to the waggons, and so thrown the man off. The train proceeded to York without the guard being aware of the accident, but some of the men employed on the line found the poor fellow lying as described. Nothing is known of him. The brothers of whom he spoke have not passed through Dar- lington, and another statement made by him to a fellow- county- man in the station- yard, viz, that he had £ 11 upon him, appears to have been untrue, as all the money found iu his pockets was 19s. An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned,— Manchester Guardian, Tho Overland Mail arrived on Wednesday afternoon, bringing news from Bombay to the 31st of August. The followiug is from the summary of the Bombay Times of August 31 :— During the last fortnight, the aspect of affairs in India has not improved, andthe intelligence which we send home by this mail is oertainly sf a disastrous character. The flame of rebel- lion, which was theu thought to bs dying out, burns with as much fierceness as ever, and sparks from the blazing pile are lighting up the fires of discord and insurrection iu the neigh- bourhood of the conflagration. We had at first congratulated ourselves that the armies of Madras and Bombay were staunch and loyal, and that they could be depended on in the conflict with their insurgent brethren; but symptoms of disaffection are now being exhibited among the Sepoy regiments of both the minor presidencies, whioh convinces us that, although they may not break out into open mutiny, they can scarcely be trusted to fight against their rebellious countrymen. We may yet hope, however, that the arrival of large numbers of Eu- ropean troops, of which we have received several fresh acces- sions, will confirm the wavering loyalty of those regiments still serviug under our banners, and prevent them from joining the oause of the mutineers. This is the wnly consolation we have under the gloomy circumstanoes of our present position ; for the determination of the Home Government to send the Indian reinforcements by the Cape route, instead of despatching them overland, will postpone the day of reckoniug by several months. " The force under General Havelock, which had advanced from Cawnpore towards Lucknow, to render assistance to the besieged garrison of that place, has been obliged to retrace its steps. After the brilliant victory on the 29th July, at Busserut Gunge, of which we gave an account in our last summary, the gallant general, having no cavalry to follow up his successes, aud being hampered with sick and wounded, commenced a re- trograde movement towards Cawnpore, which he reached in safety. He advanced again on the 4th of August, and was met the next day by about 5,000 men, whom he engaged and de- feated, taking their guns. He then pushed on to the village of Busserut Gunge ; but heariag that ths enemy were in consider- able force ia the neighbourhood of Lucknow, and feeling that, with scarcely a thousand Europeans, he could not cope against such fearful odds, he resolved to fall back on Cawnpore, and await reinforcements. General Havelock's retreat was slow and deliberate, and the enemy everywhere fled before him. On the 12ck August, however, they attacked him with two guns on the northern side of the river, before crossing over to Cawnpore, In this action we suffered some loss, but succeeded in capturing the enemy's guns, which the Highlanders did iu gallant style. The next morning the troops crossed the Ganges, and arrived in Cawnpore, where General Havelock was to remain until he could receive reinforcements from Lower Bengal. During Ha- velock's absence Cawnpore had been threatened by a body of the enemy ; but when General Neil advanced to meet them they took to flight. It is evident, from all these circumstances, that Oude is the focus of the rebellion, and that it will require a large European force to re- conquer it. The regiments which muti- nied at Cawnpore and Lucknow, joined by the warlike inhabi- tants of the province, have been organised into some kind of order, and the country seems to swarm with hordes of rebels. It would have been madness in General Havelock, with the di- minished force under him, to have encountered the immense array of the enemy, as his troops might have been destroyed, and the safety of Lucknow and Cawnpore imperilled. No in telligence has been received from Lucknow, the communication with which is cut off, but it is supposed the garrison is still holding out. It is said that the Goorkhas from Nepaul have relieved the besieged troops, but this may be censidered to be doubtful. " The rebels who mutinied at Dinapore have gone to Sasse- ram, on the Grand Trunk Road. Some reports say that the mutineers are entrenching themselves; others that they are marching towards the Kurrumuassee. A party of Europeans is going after them from Benares. They have cut the telegraph wire, and stopped the dak, in consequence of which our commu- nication with Calcutta was interrupted for several days. The conduct of General Lloyd, who commanded at Dinapore when the mutiny occurred, and who is indirectly responsible for the disaster at Arrah, has been severely criticised by the Indian press. The supreme government have also taken notice of his conduct, having suspended him from command, and he is also, it is said, to be brought to trial for letting the mutineers escape. The system, however, which places incapable and imbecile men, who ought to be on the retired list, in important commands in India, is chiefly at fault; and unless a radical change be made,- sweeping it away, no good can arise from the prosecution or individuals after the mischief has been done. Sir James Out- ram, who hasa* ain beeu nominated Chief Commissioner in Oude, has been appointed to the Dinapore command pro tern; and will no doubt discomfit the mutineers, as seventeen hundred troops had arrived from China, and were being sent up towards the disturbed districts. " The people of England, who have been anxiously expecting to hear of the capture of Delhi, will be disappointed to learn that the city is still in the possession of the mutineers. With the small force under the oommand of General Wilson, an as sault ou the place could not be made with safety or the certainty of success; and our operations have not, ttierefore, extended beyond strengthening our position. The enemy continued to annoy our troops by repeated sorties, but were invariably driven back with great slaughter. On the lst August, a body of the enemy made a succession of attacks ou our right front, but were repulsed on every occasion. In this affair, Captain Travers, ot the lst Peuijab Infantry, was killed, and the other casualties amounted to ten killed and thirty- six wounded. The enemy afterwards kept up a fire of artillery for several days, when Lieutenant Brown, 33d N. I., was mortally wounded, and several other officers were hurt. The explosion of the powder manufac- tory in the city, when 15,0001bs of powder were destroyed, is likely to cause serious embarrassmeut to the rebels. A most successful affair took place on the 12th, when a force under Brigadier Showers surprised a battery of guns, placed betweea the Cashmere Gate and Metcalfe Pickets, which had for some days annoyed our outposts. Four guns were taken frohi the enemy, and were safely brought into camp. There were 112 killed and wounded among our men, several officers being, also placed hors de combat. At the date of the last advices from Delhi, which reach to the 12th August, Brigadier General Nicholson's column, consisting of European troops and Sikh levies, was daily expected to jointhe force, being then within one day's march from the camp. On the arrival of these rein- forcements, our army would be able to assume the offensive, and, ' if practicable, attempt an assault. The affair of the 12th seema : to be an indication tnat active measures are about to betaken,! 1 and it was doubtless a preliminary to a more arduous struggle for the mastery of the city. " We have received advices from Agra to the 7th instant, when all remained quiet in the neighbourhood of that fortress. The mutineers from Neemuch and Nusseerabad, who threatened the place for some time, have retired towards Delhi, and there was no appearance of a hostile force in the vicinity. The Indore mutineers, who had reached Gwalior, were however reported to bs advancing in the direction of Agra, but no fears were enter- tained for the safety of the fort, The European inhabitants still remained iu the fort, which was crowded to inconvenience. " The Punjab continues to enjoy tranquillity, and the organi- sation of the Sikh regiments for service at Delhi is rapidly pro gressing. The 26th Native Infantry, which had been disarmed at Meeau Meer, the cantonment of Lahore, mutinied on the 30th of July. In the attempt to maintain order Major Spencer, who commanded the regiment, the quartermaster sergeant, and a native officer lost their lives. The mutineers fled into the jungle, and endeavoured to make their way towardsDelhi, but were inter- cepted and cut up. Since then parties of them have been seized iu different parts of the country, and were summarily executed. Other mutinous regiments in the Punjab have also been dis- persed and hunted down, no sympathy being showu to them by the inhabitants of the province. " His Highness Maharajah Goolab Singh, sovereign of Cash- mere, died on the 2d of August of fever. To the last the Maharajah maintained the most friendly relations with the British Government, and had just arranged to furnish a strong auxiliary force for the suppression of the rebellion in the north- west provinces. The Maharajah of Puttiala, one of our feudatories in the Punjab, has also rendered valuable assistance to the British cause, having aided iu recovering the lost terri- tories of Hissar and Sirsa. At Mooltan the native artillery have been disarmed by the Bombay Fusiliers, who have charge of the citadel. All continues quiet in the Punjab. " We have scarcely any intelligence from Raj poo tana, where nothing of much importance has occurred since the mutinies at Neemuch and Nusseerabad. Brigadier- General Lawrence, with the forces under his command, is able to control the turbulent Rajpoots, who have not yet evinced any signs of hostility. There have been symptoms of disaffection in the 12th Bombay Native Infantry, forming part of the Rajpootana field force. It appears that, on the afternoon of the 19th of August, a trooper of the lst Lancers passed by the artillery lines at full gallop, chased by four others of the regiment. On arriving at the lines of the 12th Native Infantry, the men of that regiment turned out to protect him, and refused to give him up. He escaped and got to his own lines, when he tried to induce the regiment to mutiny and follow him. He fired several shots at native officers, one of whom he wounded, and finding there was no response to his call, he galloped down to the 12th lines again. At this time the affair had become known, and the whole foroe turned out, with her Majesty's 38th Foot. On arriving at the Native In- fantry lines, they found the mutineer surrounded by the Native Infantry, he vehemently calling upon them to fire upon the Eu- ropeans. They refused to give him up, but did not proceed to active violence. After refusing to obey repeated orders from the brigadier, Colonel H. Macan, and their own officers, they formed a kind of hollow square round the fellow, from the centre of which he took deliberate aim with his carbine at the brigadier and fired, but fortunately missed him. Upon this three er four of t he European Horse Artillery dashed into the square and cut him down, Lieutenant Swanson giving him the coup de grace by sending a pistol bullet through him. A portion of the 12th N. I. were then disarmed, and on their muskets being examined, two and in some cases three balls were found in each piece. " A fearful catastrophe, attended with heavy loss of life, has occurred at Jodhpore. The King's magazine was struek by 1 lightning, and 900 human beings were killed and wounded by the explosion, which also destroyed property of the value of one million pounds sterling. " The mutiny at Kolapoor, in the southern Mahratta country, to which we briefly alluded in our last summary, has been promptly suppressed, and does not appear to have been very general in the 27th Bombay Native Infantry. Only 200 men broke out on the occasion, and robbed the treasure chest. The officers had received a timely warning, and escaped to the Residency, where they assembled a body of infantry and cavalry, and prepared to defend themselves against attack. Unfortunately, Lieutenants Norris and Heath- field, and Ensign Stubbs, of the 9th N. I., got astray from the rest of the officers, and were murdered by the mu- tineers in the neighbourhood of Kolapoor. While in a state of suspense, Lieut Kerr, of the Southern Mahratta Horse, who was despatched from Sattara with a party of sowars, arrived at the residency. Measures were immediately adopted to attack the mutineers, who had taken up their position in a fortified quadrangle in the suburbs of the city, but the force retired without attempting to dislodge them. Some days afterwards Lieutenant Kerr headed a storming party, and succeeded in driving the enemy out and dispersing them. Of the prisoners who were taken, twenty- one were executed on the 19th August, and nineteen on the following day. Many more are undergoing their trial, and will doubtless meet the same fate. A detachment of European troops, sent from Bombay and Poona, are now lo- cated at Kolapoor, so that no fresh disturbances are likely to occur in that part of the country. At Belgaum, where martial law has been proclaimed, several Mohomedans have been con- victed of treason and executed. A plot was discovered among the 29th Regiment Native Infantry to destroy the companies of the 2d Europeans, by attacking them on the night of their ar- rival at Belgaum, weary and exhausted by their harrassing march from Goa. Several arrests were made in consequence, and a few of the foremost traitors executed. Some alarm had also been felt at Dharwar, to which place a company of the 2d Europeans have been ordered. The wing ol the 27th Regiment N. I., stationed at Rutnagherry, has been dis- armed, as they were suspected of disloyalty when the ether part of the regiment mutinied at Kolapoor, and a company of the 83d has been detached from Bombay for the pro- tection of Rutnagherry. At Mount Aboo, fifty men of tho Joud- poor Legion mutinied on the 21st of August, and attacked the European barracks, but were driven away with some loss. They then retreated towards Eriupoora, where it is feared that they will excite their comrades to mutiny. The other stations of the Bombay Presidency have been comparatively tranquil, but a general feeling of insecurity seems to prevail throughout the interior. In Bombay, the panic which existed ahout a fortnight ago has gradually subsided, and a feeling of confidence pervades the community. A company of European Artillery have arrived from Bushire, and the remainder of her Majesty's 33d Regiment from the Mauritius. These troops have been stationed in Bom- bay for the present, until the excitement of the Mohurrum passes away, and the public mind is reassured. Christians of all denominations observed a day of humiliation and prayer in con- nection with the present disturbancss, and the natives of Bom- bay also set apart a day for the same purpose. The weather is HOW very favourable, and the heavy rains during the last month have given us a plentiful supply of water for next season. The fall up to the 29th of August was upwards of 60 inches. The monsoon may now be considered as ended, and traffic with the western ports has been resumed.

MADRAS. The Bombay Gazette publishes the following communication from Madras, giving an account of the mutiny in the 8th Madras Light Cavalry, which had caused considerable excitement in the ( Southern Presidency :— " The 8th Regiment of Madras Light Cavalry, which was to form part of the oolumn en route for Calcutta, from Madras, has mutlned. This took place on the 17th or 18th. The regiment had volunteered for foreign service, and was on its march down from Bangalore for the purpose of embarking at Madras. But on its arrival at Streepormutore, twenty- six miles from Madras, it put forward a claim for the rates of pay, batta, and pension, which existed before 1837, and were more favourable to the sepoy than the present rates. Such a claim, put forward at such a moment, was most distressing and perplexing. Nevertheless, the officers ( some of them) started by train at once for Madras, to see what could be done. I believe that the Madras Govern- ment agreed to guarantee the concession of the terms demanded from the Supreme Government, and that the officers returned to Streepormutore and informed the sepoys that their requests were complied with. The corps then proceeded to Poonamallee, thirteen miles from Madras, and then the truth came out. ' They would march on no terms whatsoever; tfeey would not make war upon their countrymen.' Fortunately two guns and some artillerymen had arrived at Poonamallee in the very nick of time. The sowars were at once deprived of their horses, their pistols, caps, and ammunition, and left only with their swords. Why those were not taken away also, I cannat tell. The partial disarming was quietly submitted to, and the corps was halted. The 3d Madras Light Cavalry is now at Arcot, and is at once to proceed to Bangalore. As soon as it has well cleared the station the 8th Madras Light Cavalry is to march to Arcot, and do dismounted duty there. But what is in reserve for the mutineers I cannot tell. Would that I could assure the safety of the officers, now alone with them. This affair has caused the greatest excitement in Madras. The volunteers were warned that their services are to be available at a moment's notice. There are patrols in all the streets both day and night. The Government compound presents the appearance of a eamp, sur- rounded as it is with artillery, and filled as its banqueting hall is with soldiers. Mortars are placed on the south side of the fort, facing Triplicane. Yet Madras is so extended a place, the dwellings of the chief inhabitants so dispersed, that there is a • ery painful and general feeling of insecurity. The force is thought to be most inadequate. The Mussulman inhabitants of Triplicane are notoriously disaffected; so are those of Arcot and Vcllore; and since the plague spot has touched Madras, it is impossible to predict how far it may spread. Every one is hoping, rather than believing, that this mutiny is the beginning and the end of a rebellion in Madras. The horses of the muti- neers were taken in charge by a commissariat sergeant, ridden to Madras by the horsekeepers, and embarked for Calcutta this morning, where they will be a valuable acquisition." ~~ DELHI. OFFICIAL NEWS. LAHOBE, AUGUST 12, 1867.— A short message from Delhi, by telegraph, says the mutineers continued to persevere in their attempts to harass our troops by repeated demonstrations of attack, and by a fire of round shot, shells, aud rockets, but with scarcely any perceptible effect; our loss very trifling. Brigadier General Nicholson had reached camp on the 8th, having pro- ceeded in advance of his column, which was within the distance of a forced march. The explosion of the powder manufactory in the city is said to have been accompanied with great loss of lif$, about 500 men supposed to have been killed. The cause remains unknown, is of course attributed to treachery, and there is great disquietude among the mutineers in consequence. The king is reported to be sending his zenana to Rontuck. Major Wodehouse's detachment of her Majesty's 24th Foot, with the head- quarters of Captain Paton's troop of Horse Artillery, reached Meean Meer this morning. LAHORE, AUGUST 13.— Desultory skirmishing going on at Delhi up to the 11th instant. Our troops restrained and kept under cover, and very little loss had consequently been sustained. As the guns of the mutineers, plaoed between the Cash- mere- gate and Metcalfe picket, had for some days annoyed © ur pickets, it was determined to attack them; and they were taken by surprise, by a force under Brigadier Showers, at daybreak < 3n the morning of the 12th. The affair was most successful, The guns captured wexe, one 24- pounder howitzer, two 9 and one 6- pounder, all safely lodged in the park in camp. Our loss small. Lieut Sherriff, 2d Fusiliers, mortally wounded, Brigadier Showers, Major Coke, and Captain Greviile wounded, but none of them badly. Brigadier- General Nicholson's oolumn was expected to have joined camp yesterday. It oonsists of her Majesty's 62d Light Infantry, wing of 61st Foot, Bouchier's Battery, a wing of the 7th Punjab Infantry, and some Mooltanee Horse and Foot. Green's Punjab Infantry ( the 2d Regiment) the remainder of the 8th ( King's) Regiment, and wing of 7th Punjab Infantry following at short intervals. The 4th Pun- jab Infantry ( Captain Wilde's Rifles) will be at Lahore in a few days, and a wing of Col Farquhar's Belooch Battalion has passed Ferozepore, both en route for Delhi. Intelligence from Kurrachee states that, in the course of a month or six weeks, four powerful steamers will be available for the navigation of the Indus. LAHOBE, AUGUST 14.— There is nothing further of importance from Delhi. In the attack and capture ef the guns outside the Cashmere- gate, on the morning of the 12th inst, our casualties were more numerous than was at first surmised— killed and wounded 112, and the following officers wounded: Lieut Sherriff, 2d Fusiliers, dangerously ; Brigadier Showers and Major Coke, severely ; Lieut Lindsay, Horse Artillery ; Lieut Maunsell, En- gineers ; Capt Greville and Lieut Oresir ( query Owen), 1st Fu- siliers, and Lieut Innes, 70th Native Infantry, orderly officer to Brigadier Showers, slightly. A Meerut letter of the 10th inst mentions that numbers of the mutineers were leaving Delhi. A body of about 500 of them were seen crossing the Ganges at Gurmuchtesur Ghat five days previously, and 250 more were seen at Hauper making for Rohilcund, all unarmed. The bridge of boats at Delhi is reported broken on the Meerut side, and the mutineers were attempting to repair it. ( Signed) J. D. MACPHEBSON, Lieut- Colonel, Military Sec to the Chief Commissioner.

Al etter from Aboo, dated the 11th instant, mentions that the King of Delhi has offered to make terms with us, on the con- dition that 36 lacs of rupees annually, instead of 15 as hereto- fore, should be secured to him and his successors. This proposal was, of course, peremptorily declined. He was informed that nothing but unconditional surrender could be accepted; and this we should hope would be instantly followed by unexception- able hanging, drawing, and quartering, on a gallows raised so high over the Royal Palace at Delhi, that the " Great Exhibi- tion" should be witnessed by all the country round.— Poonah Observer Extra, August 27. GENEBAL WHBELEB.— The Poonah Observer of August 17 gives the following:—" We give the following with regret in one instance, but with honourable pride and a public duty in the other; regret for having to detract from the opinions freely offered by most of the leading journals in India, which were, that to the late General Wheeler was attributed the glory of being the leader of the heroic defenders of Cawnpore, when such was Hot the case: and pride in having to perform a public duty to the memory of the gallant Ashe, Moore, and Halliday, in claim- ing for them the glory of having been the most heroic of the immortally gallant garrison of Cawnpore. We have recovered two officers ( Lieutenants Thompson and Delafosse of the 53d N. I.), aud two men of the Cawnpore garrison, and their account of the siege is most interesting. Their resistance was marvellous, for the entrenchments wore flimsy, and the position most faulty. Upon flour alone 250 Eurepean soldiers, protecting 450 women and children, withstood a siege of twenty- two days with only a lew 9- pounder guns, against an army aud heavy batteries all around, and would have held out longer had the provisions lasted. General Wheeler did nothing, was never wounded early in the siege, as was stated, and never took any active part in the defence. He hardly ever showed himself outside the small bar- rack wkich sheltered almost all, and never but once went out to the defences. The heroes of the wonderful siege were Ashe ( Ar- tillery), Moore ( 32d), and Halliday. They were amongst Eng- land's most glorious sons, and their names should ever be re- membered by all who respect great deeds." General Wheeler was killed in the boats, after the surrender of Cawnpore. NEWS BY THE CALCUTTA MAIL. Calcutta papers have been received since the above despatches with news to August 23:—" The mutinies are still developing, % id the insurrection is takiug a consistent form. To judge by present appearances there will soon be scarcely a regiment of a distriot that has not caught the infection, in Bengal or the north- west. There was a lull of several days soon after the de- parture of the last mail, during which things seemed at their worst, for all communication with the north- west and Bombay was completely cut off, and the rebellion showed the most un- mistakeable signs of narrowing its circle round Calcutta. Since then a change for the better has taken place. The communica- tion has been restored, and the news obtained by this means turns out to be far more favourable than most persons had ex- pected. Reinforcements had arrived at Delhi, and the besiegers were making more impression upon the place than they had ever done before, were in better spirits, and had the fullest con- fidence in their speedy and triumphant success. The besieged were in a wretched condition, aud, it is said, had offered terms of capitulation, which had been refused, not because they were unsatisfactory, but because no terms at all could be accepted. After the many false reports which have been circulated upon the subject, we can scarcely expect our readers to share our con- fidence when we once more express our belief that Delhi will have fallen long before this sheet is in their hands. But such is now the general impression, and it is justified by the strongest facts. The besieged, it is known, are nearly withoat ammuni- tion, having for some time past been firing pieces of telegraph wire and ktmkur from their muskets, and they are, besides, fast being decimated by famine and disease. " The news from Agra is equally satisfactory. After the battle which was recorded in our last Overland Summary, the fort, where the garrison and inhabitants had taken refuge, has not been threatened, though all the houses in cantonments and the civil lines have been destroyed by the budmashes ( i. e„ black- guards) of the city and the 3,000 prisoners whom, in spite of warnings which they have received for years past, the Govern- ment insisted upon keeping in the heart of the station. The value of the property thus destroyed is immense, for the mer- chants were prosperous, and their large shops abounded with the most costly articles of necessity er luxury, obtained from home at great expense, and for the loss of which they, as well as the other sufferers, Heed not, and of course do not, expect to ob- tain one sixpenoe of compensation. The books of the Agra Bank are supposed to be destroyed— a circumstance which was deeply lamented by those who were indebted to that institution, as the loss would have prevented them from liquidating the claims against them. The spirits of these persons ( a numerous class) have, however, risen again upon hearing that a duplicate of ail the accounts is kept in Calcutta ( which we believe to be the case), so that they will be, after all, spared the pain of occa- sioning any loss to the bank. It is scarcely fair to throw blame upon any precautionary measures which have had the effect of sparing human life, but it is the opinion of many persons in Agra, well qualified to judge, that it was a mistake to abandon cantonments ( except as far as non- combatants were concerned), and that the station might have been successfully held and saved from destruction, whioh was brought upon it, not by the mutineers, but by the unarmed prisoners. and the rabble of the place. " Our troops still hold Cawnpore and Allahabad, but General Haveloek has been unsuccessful in the relief of Luck now. After displaying great activity, and fighting more battles than were ever fought before in so short a rime, he has fallen back upon Cawnpore with a force, it is feared, considerably weakened, but which has, for all that, dose wonders. It is believed, however, that though unable to relieve Lueknow, his presence in its neighbourhood enabled the besieged to establish a communica- tion with the outside, and to obtain supplies, which will enable them to hold » ut for sometime longer than they could otherwise have done. What is to be the next plan for their relief we are not aware, but it is said that Sir James Outram is to perform the work by operations from another direction. The greatest anxiety is naturally felt for the safety of Lucknow, and there are not wanting suspicions that it has already fallen ; but these cannot be traced to any justifiable source, and we should be sorry to encourage them without good cause, especially as a oatastrope at Lucknow similar to that at Cawnpore would be far mora hor- rible, because the garrison is larger, and the number of ladies and children far greater. Up to the present time, we repeat, there is no grsundfor apprehension on this score. " The most cheering event of the fortnight is the arrival of Sir Colin Campbell and his appointment from home as Com- mander- in- Chief. The qualifications of Sir Patrick Grant for the post are undoubted; but, while rejoicing that the progress of liberal views had permitted the chief command to be held by a Company's officer, the community here forgot that this very circumstance would deprive Sir Patrick of all power to act with effect. Sir Patrick Grant, had he been a Queen's officer, might have done good by acting independently and fearlessly doing his duty. Sir Patrick, being a Company's officer, had his hands tied. He could do nothing unless his advice happened to be acceptable to others, or unless he chose to make the advioe of others acceptable to himself. Under these circumstances it was mere nonsense bringing him from Madras, as he soon began to think himself, go as soon as possible after the arrival of Sir Colin Campbell, he prepared to return to the command of his habitus'sepoys, and, if report says truly, the seventeen guns which Sanounced his departure yesterday morning were the sweetest sounds he has heard for some time. " Sir Colin Campbell has the opportunity which was denied to Sir Patrick Grant, and those who best know the character of the former gallant officer are the least likely to suppose that he will let the opportunity escape. The best means oi giving Sir Colin Campbell the authority which we all feel that he ought to hold would be to proclaim military law throughout the Bengal Pre- sidency, and a petition to this effect has already been extensively signed and presented to the Governor- General. Now that the Mohurrum is just commencing, this question is one of particular importance, and all we hope is that the measure will not be found necessary after the mischief has been done. It is due, however, to the Government to say that very extensive arrange- ments have been made for the protection of the city, pickets of regular troops and the Volunteer Guards being posted day and night at the principal points, and patrols being kept up at all hourB. Considering all these precautions, it is not expected that any serious disturbance will arise." THE RELIEF OF ABBAH.— The following despatch has been published, sent by Major Eyre, commanding a field force, to the officer in command at Dinapore :— " Camp near Arrah, August 3,1857. SIB : I have much pleasure in reporting, for the information of the officer commanding the Dinapore division, the safe arrival here of the field force under my command, and the relief of the party defending themselves at Arrah, with whom I have just opened a satisfactory communication, and have received your letter, dated 31st ult, from whioh I exceedingly regret to learn the severe loss sustained by the detachment co- operating with us on the Dinapore side but I venture to affirm confidently that no such disaster would have been likely to occur had that de- tachment advanced less precipitately, so as to have given full time for my force to approach direct from the opposite side, for the rebels would then have been hemmed in betweea the two opposing forces, and must have been utterly routed. " 2. My former letters of the 30th ult and lst inst will, I hope, have informed you of my advance from Buxar on the evening of the first- named date. We pushed on with all practicable speed to Shawnpore, distant 28 miles, where rumours of the Dinapore disaster reached us. Hearing that the enemy designed to de- stroy the bridges en route, we again pushed on at two o'clock p. m. as far as Bullowtee, where we found the bridge first cut through— an hour's halt sufficed to repair it, whioh we employed also in burning the villages on either side, since we had caught their inhabitants in the act of destruction. Arriving at Goojerajgunge by nightfall, I was delighted to find the bridge entire. Here we bivouacked for the night, and at daybreak next morning resumed our march, but had only proceeded a mile beyond Goojerajgunge when we discovered the enemy in great force in possession of the woods to our front and flanks. The road by whioh we had to reach the wood in our front was bounded by inundated paddy fields on either side. I halted to observe the best course to pur- sue, and finding that the enemy were weakening their front to take us on both flanks, I boldly pushed forward, throwing out skirmishers in every direction. The Enfield rifles kept our foes at a distance, and we succeeded in forcing the wood, beyond which, as far as Beebeegunge, it lay across an open swamp, which greatly befriended us. Meanwhile, the baffled enemy were observed hurrying round to oppose us at Beebeegunge, which is situated on the opposite side of a brieSge, by which we had hoped to cross the river. Here I again halted to refresh the troops and to reconnoitre. " Finding the bridge had been destroyed, extensive earthen breastworks raised on the other side flanking the bridge, and the mutinous regiments in force occupying the houses in the village, I determined on making a detour to the right, as far as the railway earthworks, about a mile off. I masked this move- ment for a time by the fire of my guns; but no sooner did the enemy discover our purpose than they hurried with their entire strength to intercept us at a wood which it was necessary for us to pass. A portion of them followed us up in the rear, and by the time we reached the wood we found it quite as much on our hands as we could manage. " They mustered some 2,000 to 2,500 strong in sepoys alone, besides Rajah Cooer Singh's irregular forces, of whom, however, we made little account. The rajah was apparently present in person, and for upwards of an hour we were compelled to act solely OH the defensive. The sepoys, apparently emboldened by their recent success beyond Arrah, advanced to the assault with a vigour quite unexpected, and twice, with their bugles sounding, first the " Assembly," then the " Advance," and the " Double," made determined rushes on the guns, but were on both occasions repulsed with showers of grape. Meanwhile Captain L'Estrange, with the gallant 5th, was not idle, as will be seen by his own report hereto appended. Finding at length that the enemy grew emboldened by the superiority of their numbers and the advantage of their position, I determined on trying the effect of a general charge of infantry, and sent the Hon E. P. Hastings to Captain L'Estrange with orders to that effect. Promptly and gallantly he obeyed the order. The skir- mishers on the right turned their flank, the guns with grape and shrapnel drove in the centre, and the troops, advancing on all sides, drove the enemy, panic struck, in all directions. Thus our road was cleared. All beyond the country was open, and we proceeded without interruption to within four miles of Arrah, where we were suddenly brought up by an impassable river, and have sinoe been employed in attempting to bridge it over. In this work the railway engineers, headed by Mr Kelly, have rendered the most valuable aid. Meanwhile, most of the rebels returned to Arrah, but precipitately left it during the night. Rajah Cooer Singh accompanied them, to save his family. Their loss is reported to have been severe. We hear that net a sepoy now remains in Arrah, and that the mass have gone off towards Botas, or scattered themselves in various directions. ELEVEN A. M.— The guns have just crossed safely. 3.1 have now to oommend to the notice of theMajor- General the gallant conduct of the officers and troops whom I have had the honour to command on this occasion. Under circumstances of great peril and difficulty they have exhibited those soldierly fualities which seldom fail to ensure success. To Captains 1' Estrange and Scott, of her Majesty's 5th Fusiliers, my especial thanks are due, for the prompt aud gallant way in which they seconded my efforts, more particularly in the final charge, which was executed against twenty times their number of brave Mid disciplined troops. Capt L'Estrange reports highly of Ensigns Oldfleld, Lewis, and Mason. To Capt the Hon E. P. Hastings, staff officer of this force, much of the success of this expedition may be attributed, whether on the march or in action with the enemy. He was everywhere to be found at the right time and in the right plaoe, to aid us with his energy in overcoming all difficulties. Of the others who especially distinguished them- selves, I feel bound to make honourable mention of Messrs Kelly, Barber, Burroughs, Nicholl, and Hughes, of the Buxan Gentlemen Volunteers, who rendered excellent service, under their gallant leader, Lieut Jackson, 12th N. I. Assistant- Surgeon Eteson, in charge of the field hospital, and Staff- Sergt Melville, of the lst company, 5th battalion Artillery, also merit particular notice for their zeal and energy on duty, " 4. My future movements must be guided in a great measure by the information I may receive from other quarters. Mean- while, a good supply of ammunition is urgently required for her Majesty's 5th Fusiliers, to the extent of 80 rounds per maa, and grape for two 9- pounders and howitzer.— I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, ( Signed) " V. EYBE, Major, Commanding Field Officer. " P. S.— Mr Wake, the magistrate ef Arrah, has just ridden into camp. His defence of his house seems to have been almost miraculous. The casualties in Major Eyre's force were 15 wounded and 1 killed." elevating screw, and did not use it. With the small gun they fired grape tied up in bags, and the infantry fired with their muskets. This went on all day. It did not hurt the Sahib log much. They returned the fire with their rifles from the boat, and wounded several of the sepoys on the bank, who tlierefere drew off towards evening. The sepoys procured a very big boat, into which they all got, and drooped down the river upon the Sahib's boats. Then the Sahibs fired again with their rifles and wounded more sepoys in the boat, aud they drew eff and left them. At night came a great rush of water in the river, which floated off the Sahib's boat, and they passed on down the river, but owing to the storm and the dark night they only proceeded three or four koss. Is the mean- time intelligence of the Sahib's defence had reached the Nana, and he sent off that night three more companies ef the native regiment ( lst Oude Infantry) and surrounded the Sahib's boat, and so took them and brought them back to Cawn- pore. Then came out of that boat 60 Sahibs and 25 mem- Sahibs and four children— one boy and three half- grown girls. The Nana then ordered the mem- Sahibs to be separated from the Sahibs to be shot by the Gillus Pultun ( lst Bengal Native In- fantry), but they said, ' We will not shoot Wheeler Sahib, who has made our Pultun's name great, and whose son is our quar- termaster; neither will we kill the Sahib- log. Put them in prison.' Then said the Nadire Pultun, ' What word is this? Put them in prison; we will kill the male.' So the Sahib- log were seated on the ground, and two companies of the Nadire Pultun placed themselves ever against them, with their muskets ready to fire. Then said one of the mem- Sahibs— the doctor's wife she was, I don't know his name, but he was either superintending- surgeon or medical storekeeper— ' I will not leave my husband; if he must die I will die with kim.' So she ran and sat down behind her husband, clasping him round the waist. Directly she said this the other mem- Sahibs said, ' We will also die with our hus- bands ;' and they all went and sat down beside their husbands. Then their husbands said, ' Go back,' but they would not. Whereupon the Nana ordered his soldiers, and they, going in, pulled them forcibly away, seizing them by the arm ; but they could not pull away the doctor's wife, who there remained. Then, just as the sepoys were going to fire, the padre ( chaplain) called out to the Nana, and requested leave to read prayers be- fore they died. The Nana granted it. The padre's bonds were unloosed so far as to enable him to take a small book out of his pocket, from whioh he read , but all this time one of tke Sahib- logs, who was shot in the arm and the leg, kept crying out to the sepoys, 4 If you mean to kill ws, why don't you set about it quickly and get the * ork done ? Why delay V After the padre had read a few prayers he shut the book, and the Sahib- log shook hands all round. Then the sepoys fired. One Sahib rolled one way, one another, as they sat; but they were not dead, only wounded ; so they went in and finished them off with swords. After this the whole of the women and children ( that is, in- cluding those taken out of other boats), to the number of 122, were taken away to the yellow house, which was your hospital. This was the Bithoor Rajah's house in the civil lines, where I and four more sepoys were confined, and where I had the oppor- tunity of talking to the sergeant- major's wife. After this, when we ( sepoys) were taken down with the Nana to Futtehpore, the women and children were taken away to the house, where they were afterwards murdered. " ' Were any of our women dishonoured by the Nana or his people?' None that I know of, excepting in the case of General Wheeler's youngest daughter, and about this I am not oertain. This was her circumstance. As they worfe taking the mem- Sahibs out of the boat a sowar ( cavalry man) took her away with him to his house. She went quietly ; but at night she rose anel got hold of the sowar's sword. He was asleep; his wife, his son, and his mother- in- law were sleeping in the house with him. She killed them all with the sword, and then she went and threw herself down the well behind the house. In the morning, when people came and found the dead in the house, the cry was, ' Who has done this ?' Then a neighbour said that in the night he had seen some one go and throw himself into the well. They went and looked, aud there was Missee Baba, dead and swollen." Our correspondent adds :— " I have seen the fearfid slaughter- house, and also saw one of the lst Native Infantry men, according to order, wash up part of the blood which stains the floor before hanging. The quanti- ties of dresses, clogged thickly with blood, children's frocks, frills, and ladies' under clothing of all kinds, also boys' trowsers, leaves of Bibles, and of one book in particular, which seems to be strewed over the whole place, called Preparation, for Death, also broken daguerreotype cases only, lots of them, and hair, some nearly a yard long; bonnets all bloody, aud one or two shoes. I picked up a bit of paper with on it, ' Ned's hair, with love,' and opened and fouud a little bit tied up with riband. The first fellows that went in, I believe, saw the bodies with their arms and legs sticking out through the ground. They had all been thrown in a heap in the well." THE MASSACRE AT CAWNPORE. We extract the following interesting letter from The Times:— NUJOOii JEWARREE'S STORY. The writer of the following is described as one of our spies. He belongs to the lst Native Infantry, and is said to be a most intelligent man :— " Wnen the mutiny broke out at Cawnpore he was with three companies of his regiment, the first, or Gillis Pultun, at Banda. On the breaking out of the sepoys at Banda Nujoor Jewarree saved the life of a Mr Duncan and his wife ( Mr Duncan was a writer, and instructed this man in English), by concealing them in his hut, and afterwards reporting to the rajah that they were willing to turn Mussulmans. For this the sepoy fell into ill odour with his comrades, and when the mutineers marched into Cawnpore the Nana took away from him all he had— about 300rs— and confined him with four more sepoys in the same house with the Europeans. At the fight of Futtehpore he was released by the Nana, went back to the Gundee Nuddee, and thence came over to the English. His account of the Nana's treacherous attack on the boats and the escape and recapture of one of the boats is as follows:— " When the Nana's guns opened on the boat in which Wheeler Sahib, the general, was ( it has now been fully ascertained from servants and others who were with the English party that General Wheeler was not dead before the massacre, but was put wounded on board the boats), he cut its cable and dropped down the river. Some little way down the boat got stuck near the shore. The infantry and guns came up and opened fire. The large gun they could not manage, not knowing now to work the Sicily and Egypt, where he served during the whole campaign under Lieut- General M. Fraser. He subsequently joined the British forces in the Peninsular under Lord Wellington, and served as assistant- adjutant- general. Among other engagements ha was present at Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, San Sebastian, and Nive, and received a cross and three clasps for his Peninsular services. He was subsequently engaged in the campaign in Flanders, and was present at Wa- terloo, and for his gallantry on that field received the order of St Vladimir, 4th class, from the late Emperor of Russia, and was made a Knight Commander of the Bath in 1815. He was also a Knight of the Tower and Sword of Portugal. In 1846 he was ap- pointed to the colonelcy of the 35th Foot, now vacant by his decease, and attained the rank of general in the army in 1854. BATONKT EXEBCISE — The Commander- in- Chief has directed that every regiment shall be instructed in the bayonet exercise, according to the system of the late Mr Angelo. t MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. TEOOPS BOB INDIA.— We learn that the transport sailing ship Lord Raglan arrived at Bombay on the 27th of August with the left wing of the 33d Regiment from Port Loui3, whence she sailed on the 14th, making the passage in a little over twelve davs. The right wing had previously been brought up by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pottinger, after a passage of over fourteen days. On Wednesday morning, in con- sequence of a telegraphic despatch received at Chatham from the War Office, a draught of the 63d Regiment, numbering 20 u ® n- eommissioned officers and men, loft the provisional batta- lion and proceeded to Cork, where they will embark on board the Calcutta steamer for conveyance to India for the purpose of joining the service companies of that regiment in Bombay. A considerable augmentation has been made in the strength of the Provisional Battalion at Chatham by the arrival of the depot companies of the 51st Light Infantry and the 91th Regiment, from Pembroke garrison, numbering upwards of 200 non- com- missioned officers and men, with the following officers,— Captain H. B. Houson, Ensign E. M. Crowe, and Ensign H. Chambers, 51st Light Infantry ; Captain H. L. Cafe, and Ensign W. Clegg, 94th Regiment. On arriving at Chatham garrison, both the companies of the above depots were attached to the 31 Batta- lion, under the command of Lieut- ColonelC. Elmhirst. A fur- ther increase in the number of the Indian troops at Chatham, to the extent of nearly 1,000 officers and men, will take place in a few days by the arrival of the depots of the 5th ( Fusiliers), 18th ( Royal Irish), 33d ( Duke of Wellington's), and 98th Regiments, which are ordered to join the 3d battalion at Chatham garrison. The first division of thel7thLancers left Island Bridge Barracks on Friday for Cork, and were to embark the same day at Queens- town, in the Great Britain. The second division were to proceed on Saturday, and also embark in the Great Britain for Iudia. The 8th Hussars are also expected to leave Newbridge on Monday next for Cork, to embark in the Great Britain for India. The Great Britain arrived in Cork harbour on Saturday week. In addition to the 8th Hussars and 17th Lancers she will take on board 40 men of the 16" th Royal Hussars, who have volunteered for India.— The Horse Guards have at length decided on de- spatching a portion of the Royal Artillery by the overland route to India, an order having been reoeived at Woolwich for the em- barkation of Captain Thring's aud Captain Calvert's companies of Royal Artillery on board a Southampton steamer, on the 10th of October, for Alexandria, to proceed thence via. Suez and Point de Galle, for Bombay. Colonel Maberley, Lieutenant F. B. Strange, 5th battalion, as quartermaster, and an adjutant of the Royal Artillery also proceed by the same route.— The screw steam- ship Bahiaiia, Captain Sharp, chartered by the East India Company from the South American Steam- ship Company, has left Liverpool for Portsmouth, where she will take on board the head- quartGrs of the 98th Regiment, under the command of Colonel Trainer, with whom she will proceed to Bombay. The 4th company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Brevet- Major L. Nicholson, ana the 11th company, commanded by Captain C. E. Cumberland, left head- quarters, Brompton Barracks, Chatham, at an early hour on Friday morning for Southampton, for the purpose of proceeding overland to India. An immense quantity of sapping and mining implements, en- trenching tools, and other materials required by this branch of the service, with photographic apparatus, batteries, & c, was forwarded on the previous day by the Royal Engineer train from the stores at Brompton to Southampton, to be snipped for India, to arrive with the Royal Engineers. The Sappers aud Miners are also provided with a number of the newly invented portable indiarubber boats, for the purpose of transporting the officers and men across the rivers of India, and the utmost care has been paid by the authorities at the head- quarters ( Chatham) to provide the officers and men with everything they may require for carry- ing on the campaign in India. The 10th company, under the command of Captain A. A'Court Fisher, and the 21st, under that of Captain Glastonbury Neville, are both in readiness to embark at an hour's notice. Both these companies will probably embark for India next week. The following are the officers of the staff proceeding to India:— Lieutenant- Colonel H. Drury Harness, in command: Captain F. E. Fox, adjutant; and Lieu- tenant F. E. B. Beaumont, acting quartermaster. Some altera- tions have been made in the list of officers ordered to India, and the following are now under orders for embarkation ^ Lieu- tenant J. B. Edwards, Lieutenant G. Langley, Lieutenant P. H. Scratchley, Lieutenant J. P. Magnay, Lieutenant W. R. Gossett, Lieutenant J. H. Wilson, Lieutenant J. M. H. Maitland, Lieu- tenant E. B. Festing, Lieutenant C. E. Wynne, Lieutenant A. Thaine, Lieutenant J. Swetenham, Lieutenant D. C. Walker, Lieutenant J. P. Paterson, and Lieutenant W. Keith, nearly the whole of whom go out as supernumeraries. On Thurs- day the troops belonging to the Indian depot at Chatham Garrison were formed into three battalions. Each of the battalions will have a separate staff, and will have 10 depots at- tached to it, numbering m the aggregate 2,000 men of all ranks; the united strength of the depots at Chatham will thus be kept up to 6,000 men, intended as a reserve for the corps serving in India. The staff of each battalion has been enlarged as follows:— lst battalion, commandant, Colonel H. Jervis ; major, H. D. Ellis ; staff- captain, Brevet- Major H. Jackson; instructor of mus- ketry, Brev- Major W. Radcliff; paymaster, W. Summerfield; quartermaster, J. Menzies ; surgeon, A. Maclean, M. D. The lst battalion will occupy the Chatham Barracks, and will con- sist of the depots of the 7th Fusiliers, 24th, 27th Enniskillens, 32d, 35th, 53d, 70th, 75th, 81st, 84tb, and 94th. 2d battalion : commandant, Colonel R. N. Phillips; major, A. Wombwell; adjutant, Captain R. Roney; paymaster. Captain E. Griffiths; quartermaster, W. M'Kay. The 2d battalion includes the depots of the 8th, 10th, 20th, and 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers ; 29th and 52d Light Infantry ; 6lst, 82d, and 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers ; 90th Light Infantry, and 98th, the whole of which will occupy Chatham Barracks. The 3d battalion depots are quartered in the huts and Brompton Barracks. The following is the staff :— commandant, Lieutenant- Colonel C. Elmhirst; major, D. G. A. Darrock; adjutant, Captain W. Daunt; instructor of mus- ketry, captain W. Nott; Paymaster, C. S. Naylor; quarter- master, W. Goldby ; and surgeon, E. W. T. Mandeville, M. D. The depots attached to the 3d battalion are the 19th, 43d Light Infantry, 51st Light Infantry, 64th, 83d, and 86th. The officers and men of the 60th Rifles, 74th, and 7^ tli Highlanders are also attached to the 3d battalion until required for embarkation for India. MAJOE- GENEEAL HAVELOCK.— The supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday evening, contains thefollowinggeneral order: " HOESE GUARDS, SBPT 29,1857.— BBEVET.— In consequence of the eminent servioes performed by Colonel Henry Havelock, C. B., in command of a division of her Majesty's army engaged in active operations in the field in India, the Queen has been graciously pleased to command that he be promoted to the rank of major- general in the army, in conformity with the 10th clause of the royal warrant of the 6th October, 1854, and that his com- mission shall bear date the 30th July, 1857. By command of his Royal Highness the General Commanding- in- Chief. " G. A. WETHEBALL, Adjutant- General." GENBEAL LLOYD, C. B.— Major- General George Wm. Aylmer Lloyd, C. B., and Colonel of the 28th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, who, according to the news just received, is " sus- pended snd about to be brought to trial," entered the military service of the Honourable East India Company in 1804, so that he must be now in about his 67th or 68tn year. He served in China in 1808, and in the attack on Java in 1811, for which he received a medal; as also in the Pindarree war in 1817, and in Assam, for which he received the Indian medal. He also took part with his regiment in the Chinese war of 1840- 42, for which he received a medal, and was made a Companion of the Bath. He obtained the rank of major- general in June 20,1854, and had commanded the ill- fated Dinapore division of the Bengal army sinoe Nor 10 in that year. It does not appear that he has ever held any civil or political employment. HTHE LATE OBNEEAL SIB JOHN DOVETON, K. C. B.— Sir John Doveton, whose death has just happened at Vichy, in the south of France, where he had gone to drink the waters, was one of the oldest officers in the East India Company's service. He was a son of the late Sir William Webber Doveton, Knight ( who was for upwards of thirty years in the civil service of the Hon East India Company), by the only daughter of the late Mr Anthony Beale, and cousin of the late Sir J. Doveton, G. C. B. Hewa3 born at St Helena, in 1788, and left Portsmouth for Madras, at the early age of 15, as first cadet of cavalry, in June, 1708, and was soon plaoed on the staff as aide- de- camp to the late Marquis of Wellesley, during his Governor- Generalship of India. He saw much active service in the several campaigns of 1799, 1803, and 1817, and at one time commanded a division of the Nizam's army. THE LATE GENEBAL SIB GEOEGE H. F. BEBKELBY, K. C, B. — We have to announce the death of General Sir G. Berkeley, K. C. B., which happened at Richmond on Friday week, after a short illness, in his 73d year. The deceased general was the eldest son of the late Admiral Sir G. C. Berkeley, G. C. B., some time Lord Admiral of Portugal, by Emily Charlotte, daughter of the late Lord G. Lennox, and was first cousin to the present Earl Berkeley and to Earl Fitzhardinge. He was born in 1785, and entered the army in 1802 as comet in the Royal Horse Guards Blue; he prooeeded with the 35th regiment of Foot to NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF REAE- ADMIBAL JOHN AULEN.— We regret to an- nounce the death of Rear- Admiral John ALlen, which occurred at his residence, Prospect- terrace, Reading, Berks, on the 23d ult, in the seventieth year of his age. This gallant officer had seen in his earlier professional career much of that severe service which is now seldom required. He was born in Loudon, Feb 23, 1789, and was second son of the late Thomas Allen, Esq, F. A. S., F. L. S., F. S. A., of Crane Hall, Suffolk, by Jane, youngest daughter of the late William Watts, Huq, aud sister of the late David P. Watts, Esq, of Portland- place. He entered the navy June 1, 1800, as midshipman, on board the Osprey, 18, commanded by his uncle, Captain John Watts, and afterwards by Captains George Irvine, Richard Dalllng Dunn, and George Younghusband, on the Afrioa and West India stations. He accepted the retirement Oct 1, 1846, and was pro- moted to the rank of additional retired rear- admiral on the 21st of March, 1851. MOVEMENTS OF SHIPS OF WAS.— Argus, 6, paddle sloop, is in Sheerness Basin, having a thorough overhaul. There is, however, a great deal of rotten wood in her, which will neces- sarily take a long time to make good.— Clio, 21, screw corvette, building in Sheerness Yard, progresses fast; her hull is now ready for the machinery. It is expected she will be launohed soon after Christmas. This vessel will fight her guns on the main deck, under cover.— Driver, 6, paddle sloop, is under the new boiler sheers, at Sheerness, having a thorough overhaul and new boilers.— Renewn, 91, screw, is still in Sheerness iiasin. She will go out of dock in a few days, preparatory to taking her contractor's trial trip.

LITERATURE. CULINABY CAMPAIGN. By ALEXIS SOYEB. 1 vol. [ Routledge and Co.]— Is it necessary to tell our readers who Alexis Soyer is? They are too well informed not to know him. In his vocation he is a Napoleon, a Wellington, a Shakspere, a Milton, a Vol- taire, a Rousseau combined. Brutus, who stabbed his relative, Caesar, used to say that he would prefer to be the first man in a village rather than to bo second at Rome. Disputable am- bition. That of M. Soyer is to be the first of cooks. He has beyond all question obtained it. Vatel was a great cook in his way, and so was Carfime, but their talents were limited. Those of the one were confined to the kitchen of Louis the Fourteenth; those of the other to making, from vege- tables and fish, a leaten soup, for the palates of Pope and cardinals, which would stand in good stead of flesh and fowl. The culinary talents of Soyer are far, far more extensive. They are almost suited to the whole human family— to the prince on his throne, to the starving peasant, and to the stinted, poor soldier. In applying his art to all its branches he has never been equalled. He has no secrets. All he knows he tells. The sus- tentation of the belly and its members is his study, his practice, and his delight; and how that is to be best done he has over and over again told us in his first great work, The Gastronomie Regenerator, then in his Modern Housewife, afterwards in his Shilling Cookery for the People, and finally in the most interesting book now under notice. Let us then give a few details about that book, which must have as great a circulation as his Shilling Cookery for the People— say, in round numbers, one hundred thousand copies. It con- tains, besides various other matters, historical reminiscences of the late Crimean war, with the plain art of cookery for military and civil institutions, the army, navy, public, & c, & c. It is a perfect culinary encyclopedia. When the great and good Soyer heard of the sufferings of oar gallant fellows in the East, he forthwith offered his servioes gratuitously to the Government, to repair to the seat of war, te ( we use a slang but expressive trite saying) " keep the pecker up" of our^ troops famishing through mismanagement. Our Government, as is its wont, hummed and hawed at the good offer, and had it not been for the efforts and influence of her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland and several members of her distinguished house, Soyer would never have seen Scutari, Balaklava, or Inkermann, and even the petted Guards that were idling their time in those ilks would soon have been as lean kine as the gallant little fel- lows ( 83d), and so forth, who did all the work, with small thanks for their pains. Soyer. being a cosmopolite, cared not for the pets— the household ones— but turned nis attention to the lads in the trenches, to the hewers of wood and drawers of water, and under his generalship there was no favouritism. He proved that when, after many rebuffs, the War Office agreed to his de- parture for the vicinity to which that clever rake Ovid was exiled. Soyer's first offer to go to the Crimea was made publiG in a letter of his to The Times. In consequenoe of its perusal he received the following summons:—" The Duchess of Sutherland will be much pleased to see Monsieur Soyer at Stafford House, at two o'clock this day, or ten to- morrow morning if more con- venient to Monsieur Soyer. 7th February, 1856." A footman soon came for an answer, so anxious was her Graoe to see the beneficent culinary chemist. " At ten minutes to two," he writes, " I entered the superb portico at Stafford House, and was shown to the ground- floor library by the duke's piper, young Mackenzie. ' Her grace will be with you presently,' said he; ' walk in, sir, and I will apprise the duchess of your arrival, who, I am aware, is anxious to see you.' I thanked him for his politeness, and he left me alone. I had scarcely time to cast a glanoe of admiration upon one of the chefs d'amvre of Landseer, representing the juvenile Stafford family, when her grace en- tered, followed by the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, the Marquis and Marchioness of Stafford, Lord and Lady Blantyre, her brother, and the children, about eighteen in number, Lady Grosvenor, and others. The Duchess of Sutherland introduced me to the noble circle, and requested all to be seated." Her grace then, after complimenting M Soyer, requests him to ex- plain his plan of feeding her own Highlanders, the laddies from — alas, we cannot say from Lairg, for that birthplace of former 93ds is now a sheep walk, and the Mackays have departed from it— but from the vicinity of Dunrobin. The noble lady's re- quest is complied with, and the great cook leaves Stafford House, stimulated with aspirations from fair and noble lips sufficient to make him attack, if called upon, the rudest and fiercest rug- ged Russian bear. When Nelson left Merton, Surrey, to fight the battle of Trafalgar, to defend the wooden walls of Old Eng- land, he had but his fond, frail Emma to pat him on his back, and to suggest to him the immortal word of command," England to- d^ y expects every man will do his duty." Ah, Soyer! no won- der you performed such wonders in your Culinary Campaign. On the great artist's arrival in the Crimea, general and soldier hailed him as a Messiah— not the one alluded to by Virgil in his celebrated eclogue— but a more useful one, the profuse provider of the mess- table. Hear him modestly recount his reception on the part of Lord Raglan. " During this conversation ( with Co- lonel Steele and others) we had got quite close to Lord Rag- lan. Colonel Steele addressed him: ' I beg pardon, my lord, Monsieur Soyer is here.' Lord Raglan turned suddenly round, and before I had time to salute him, said,' Ah, Monsieur Soyer, how are you? I am indeed very glad to see you.' I assured his lordship I felt highly flattered at his kind reception. ' You are welcome to the seat of war, Monsieur Soyer. It is many years since we had the pleasure of seeing each other.' ' It must be about ten years, my lord.' ' More than that; but let me see- it cannot be less than fourteen, I am sure. I recollect going with some friends of mine to visit you in your interesting kitchen at the Reform Club; you remember.' ' So well, that I recol- lect your lordship saying you never had a good dinner except when they gave you the pot- au- feu made after my receipt, and that I was one of your great benefactors.'" Well, well, pot luck with Soyer embraces and embodies actually the elixir vita. You foolish, purblind, puddling philosopher, seek it not else- where— you will find it in Soyer's " magic stove." We are by no means joking . We have seen that wonderful Lilliputian alembic at work, tasted of its produce, and to having done so we attri- bute health, strength— oh, that we could say prosperity ! We have but one word or two more to say of our most ingenious friend's book. The Spaniards say of their Seville, " That he who hath not seen it hath seen nothing." We say he who does iiot read the Culinary Campaign will remain in ignorance all his life of the most delightful— no, no, the most useful— of arts, that of prolonging life by means of tickling the palate. This rare work is very well illustrated by Hine, and in every illustration you see the self- satisfied Soyer; and well he ought to be so, re- presented as engaged in some great undertaking or other. THB STOEY OF MY LIFE. By Lord W. LENNOX, author of Compton Abbey, & o, & c. 3 vols. [ Hurst and Blackett.]— This is not the story of the noble lord's own life written by him- self, but it is an amusing alleged autobigraphy of Arthur Pern broke, smartly sketched by his lordship, whom we may fairly class amongst the most versatile of our living literary men. The hero, a lad of brilliant composite metal, is the only son of Sir W. Pembroke, of Pembroke Abbey, situate in the vicinity of Chichester. Until he has attained the middle ef his teens he is the greatest " limb" ever born to torment, by thousands of tricks, every one that finds no favour with him. The first chap- ters, descriptive of Little Pickle's games, are extremely amusing, and highly creditable to the mischief- inventing power of the author. In the hope of reforming Arthur he is placed under a severe disciplinarian, Dr Burls, of Bellevue House, Kenning- ton. After playing the deuce in the doctor's academy, he " mizzles" therefrom one night, and having had a three days' lark in London returns to the abbey. His father and mother, kindest of parents, forgive him, and a friend of theirs, Admiral Dee- borough, thinking the royal navy suitable for his spirit, gets him appointed to the Daring frijpite, anchored off Portsmouth. Arthur starts unattended for the great naval port, but the at- tractions of Portsea and of a fair at Fortsdown prevent him from reporting himself on board in due time. The result is the cancelling of his appointment. Back again to the abbey hies Master Arthur. He is once more forgiven. A private tutor, an excellent one in every way, is procured for him. His name is Winterburn, a widower with an only, very beautiful daughter, Mary, about Arthur's age. The young people are frequently brought together with the usual consequences. The lovers are separated by parental authority, and Mary is secretly located with a first class modiste in London. In due time Arthur is old enough for a commission in the household cavalry, and through the influence at the Horse Guards, of a relative, Gen Malcolm, he obtains a cornetcy in the " Blues," to whom Lord William says the ribaldrous epithets of " Piccadilly butchers and cheese- mongers' 1 were once applied. Not so, noble ex- guardsman, they were applied to the lst and 2nd Regiments of Life Guards, in conse- quence of a man having been shot by one of them in the Burdett riots, many years ago. Arthur repairs to London, reports himself at the Horse Guards, is graciously accepted, and desired to pre- pare his outfit. Whilst doing so he discovers Mary, and secretly marries her. He soon after joins his regiment at Windsor, and, rendered partly oblivious of his wife by the gaieties of that ilk, she pines under his neglect. It increases, and busybodies report- ing to her his flirtations with the beauties of Berkshire, she and her father become indignant, and depart to hide themselves in Italy. When Arthur finds his pretty mate flown he seems in- consolable for a time. He soon has recourse to the bottle, and to every kind of dissipation, high aud low. He is cured by Mary's return and reconciliation with her. The private mar- riage he makes public. Sir William and Lady Pembroke receive the young couple affectionately at the abbey, and the former dying, Arthur becomes a rich young baromt, and Mary a titled lady. He sells his commission in the " Blues," and leads the happy life of an English gentlemen. Three- fourths, or there- abouts of this story, are interlarded with descriptions of shooting, fox- hunting, fiat- racing, prize- fighting, horse- dealing, balls, dinners, private theatricals, & c. We do not see any- thing in these descriptions very novel, but we see much that we deem, in oar poor judgment, incorrect and of bad taste. Lord W.' s interminable sketches of dinners— his oonstant babbling about viands and wine— would make one fancy that he was quite new to the delicacies of the kitchen and wine cellar. His friend the Bishop of Bond- street will not be much pleased with the chapter against the Prize Ring, and we question whether the elaborate puff of the prelate militant, and the pro- posed trophy to his right reverence, will smooth his rufflsd fea- thers. The Latin inscriptions for the trophy are the vilest specimen of dog- Latia ever penned by lubberly schoolboy. They must have been written in joke. VIEGIKIA ILLUSTEATED. [ LOW and Co, Ludgate- hill.}— This large voiuue is of American origin, and contains many short pen- sketches of scenery and life in Virginia, with as many wood- cuts after drawings by a clever artist who assumes the somewhat common pseudonimio of " Porte Crayon." The second titles to the attractive book are A Visit to the Virginian Canaan, and the Adventures of Porte Crayon and his Cousins. The latter, except one, being adventerous young ladies of the calibre of the Unprotected Females in Norway. Let us give a portrait of one of the fair cousins,—" Beside Fanny sat Minnie May, with a shower of rich golden curls, and cheeks as smooth aad delicately- tinted as the lips of a sea- shell, with a slight but elastic figure, and hands so small that she could never reach an octave on the piano, and consequently never learned music. Whether she would have learned if she had been able to accom- plish an octave is a problem that will never be solved, for she is nineteen years old, and her hands are not likely to grow bigger. Indeed, Minnie is not accomplished, as the world goes, for she can't sing, except a little in concert, and is equally unskilful in fitting a dress or compounding a pudding. If she reads much she seems little the wiser for it, for most pro- bably romances and poetry receive the principal part of her attention. Her character is an odd compound of archness and naiveti, of espiiglerie and sweetness. If she can't sing, her voice in conversation is like the warble of a bluebird, in addi- tion to which she lisps most charmingly. Unpretending and child- like in her manners, the has a quick and original wit, and reads character by intuition. To this power, probably, and to some pretty coaxing ways, she owes the unbounded influence she exercises over every one about her. Even " Porte Crayon's" pro- verbial obstinacy is not proof against it. He flounders and fumes like a humble- bee stuck fast in molasses, and is sometimes heardungallantlyto wish her at the deuce; " for," says he, " when she is about, I can't even choose what coat I may wear." The ladies of the party brave the perils of desert, prairie, swamp, and forebt with Amazonian courage, and their presence gilds the hardships of the male adventurers. THE ANGLES AND TOUEIST'S GUIDE. By ANDREW YOUNG. [ Edinburgh: A. and C. Black,]— This is not a book- maker's book. There is not a superfluous sentence in it. Matters of fact pervade it from the first page to the last. A general fault of modern books lies in the wearisome way they are spun out. This " Guide," full to overflowing with practical information touching " the rivers, lakes, and remarkable places of the northern counties of Scotland," has a very opposite fault. We want more of it. Mr Young is well known to all salmon anglers and to salmon naturalists by his experiments on the artificial breeding and growth of that far- famed fish, and by his writings on its history and habits. He is the guardian of all the Duke of Sutherland's rivers in the nsrth, and has passed more than forty years as the manager of salmon rivers. In our opinion he knows more about salmon than any man alive. The little book concludes with instructions, very good ones, for young salmon anglers. We heartily recommend this excellent guide to all who visit the romantic counties of Sutherland and Caithness. We hope it will be followed by one descriptive of the riyers, & c, of Rosshire, Inverness, Morayshire, Mr Young knows those high- land counties well. MAGAZINES.

" Old Eboay" gives us a dessert for every evening of a week, and we invite all readers of taste to partake of it. SPOBTING RBVIEV.— A capital number, creditable to Editor and his clever staff. " The Omnibus," which treats ofraciug meetings of the past month, is well and impartially written. The following are " crack" contributions :—" The Cricket Week at Canterbury, and the * Old Stagers;" by Lord W. Lennox ; " Re- view of the Yachting Season," " Game Birds," by H. G. Adams, " Frank Weston, a Fancy Sketch," by Cecil; " Pheasant Shoot- ing," by Ramrod; " A Month's Fishing in Ireland," an excel- lent and most amusing paper, and " Confessions of a Notorious Poacher," by Hoary Frost.

BENTLEY'S contains a " large number of good articles, several of them interestingly opportune and instructive, viz:—" The English in India," " Seven Years of an Indian Offioer's Life," and " The East India Company." The following are extremely amusing:—" New- Book Notes," by Monkshood, being a genial criticism on Memoirs of Beranger, " A Fortnight's Sport in the Highlands," " Gallery of Theatrical Portraits," by T. P. Grinsted— subject, " The Young Roscius," and continuation of Dudley Costello's clever tale of the times, " The Millionaire of Mincing- lane." LB FOLLET, JOUBNAL BU GBAND MONDE.— We are glad to see that this fashionable monthly has beaten all its would- be riTals out of the field. This number contains three coloured plates of the fashions, with diagrams of lace collars, visites, caps, and prettily- shaped bonnets. The dresses of the first figure in Plate 1 and that of the first lady in Plate 3 are, we think, the prettiest. The literature is better than usual. IBISH METBOPOLITAN MAGAZINB.— Seven months old, and getting more lively and stronger every- day. This will be seen by the following efforts:—" Life's Foreshadowings ;" " Kourm- reigh, a story in two chapters," by Hesketh Paul; " Tempora;" " An Hour's Talk about Poetry ; ' " The Mutiny of the Bengal Army ;" and " Sporting Intelligence." THE JOUENAL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL MEDICINE. Edited by FOEBBS WINSLOW, M. D., D. C.

[ The serials and magazines not yet received will be noticed when they reach us.] FALL OF HOUSES.— Two houses undergoing repair ( Nos. 26 and 27, Bartlett's- buildings, Holborn), fell at half- past six on Thursday morning, injuring several workmen, one of whom, named Parsons, is not expected to recover. DEATH WHILE WEESILING.— On Monday afternoon a pitman named John Davison, was brought by the Northumberland police to Tynemouth House of Correction, charged with killing a man, whose name is not known, at Seaton Delaval, on Saturday night Week. It appears that last week was the pay week at the Seaton Delaval collieries, and on Saturday night a eonsiderable number of pitmen were drinking at the Hastings7 Arms. Theprisonerandthe deceased, the latter a stranger in the neighbourhood, both very powerful men, belonged to Cumberland, and being tipsy they had bet a wager, and turned on to the floor to decide who was the best of the two at wrestling. They had gripped each other in the usual Cumberland fashion, and after a short struggle the prisoner had thrown the deceased over his shoulder. Deceased pitched with extreme violence upon his head on the kitchen floor, which was flagged, and was killed on the spot, for he never stirred after. The prisoner is greatly distressed, and weeps bitterly. The police are making inquires with regard to the deceased, who appears to have been a navvie, He was a stranger in the neigh-' bourhood. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE LAKES.— The Westmoreland Ga- zette says:—" On the afternoon of Saturday week, Carl Parth, a merchant's clerk, started from Manchester on an excursion to the Lakes, in company with Henrich Riche, also a merchant's clerk. On Sunday they visited places in the neighbourhood of Buttermere, and in the evening arrived at Wythburn, where they engaged a car to convey them to Ambleside. The vehicle was driven by John Robinson, and on arriving at the toll- bar, near Grasmere, Robinson jumped down and opened the gate. Whilst attempting to get on the car again the herse kicked, and then ran away. Robinson was knocked down, and injured by the wheel of the car passing over him ; and Riche and Parth, on finding that the horse had become affrighted, resolved to jump out. Riche dropped out from the door behind, and falling on his back was much injured ; and when he, together with Ro- binson, afterwards went along the road in search of Parth, they found him lying across the road insensible ; and as they were oonveyinghim to Ambleside he died. It is supposed that he fell to the ground whilst jumping out, as the base of his skull was fractured, and to this death was attributed. At an inquest subsequently held, a verdict of Accidental Death was returned." AN ATLAS GEATIS WITH THE DISPATCH.— Oh and after Sun- day, October 4th, 1857, each copy of the IHspateh will be accom- panied with a coloured map. a chart, or the plan of a principal town, so as to furnish to eacn subscriber, gratis, a moat compre- hensive, complete, and useful atlas. The size of the engravings will be that of one page of the newspaper. Six maps and two plans, in each year, will be of double the size. It is hoped, in the oourse of a short time, that the Dispatch Atlas will contain more names and positions of places than any other Bnglish pub- lication of the kind. The counties will be given separately, and, where large, divided. Within the first four months, India will be more accurately and completely delineated, in a series of nine maps, than in any British Atlas. The names of the artists will be the best guarantee for perfect accuracy. The engravings will be in the highest style of art, involving a cost of many thousands of pounds. Mechanics' institutes, educational establishments, hotels, reading- rooms and coffee- houses will, in possessing the Dispatch Atlas, be supplied with a daily want. The Dispatch Atlas will be forwarded gratis with the paper at the usual price— 5d per copy, or 6d stamped. The Friday evening edition may be received in the most distant parts of the Kingdom on Saturday morning.— Office, 139, Fleet- street, London. HOM< OWAI* B PLIAS BOB IHE CTLSB OS INDIGESTION AND DLS- OBDBXSD STOMACH.— There are few remedies advocated by the faculty that are really serviceable in curing indigestion and disordered stomach, which causes a martyrdom to many of the population in every country. The only remedy for . this maiady which can be recommended to both sexes and all ages is Holloway's Pills; these are a certain cure, restoring health and energy after all medical aid has been tried in vain.

SADLEE'S WELLS THEATEE.— On Wednesday night this house opened for the season, when Mr Phelps produced " Love's Libour Lost," with a display of picturesque beauty and com- pleteness of detail in every respect that must have surpassed the expectations even of those who are aware what Mr Phelps can do when he sets about reviving th « piece that he desigvs for the curiosity of the season. The list of dramatis personce was formidable in length, but Mr Phelps has so well applied the talent of his company that there is not a single weakly acted part. For himself he has taken the " fantastical Spa- niard," and made of him oue of his choicest comio im- personations. The Spanish head, the manner of dealing with the euphonistic phraseology, the artificial drawl, the complacent good humour that tolerates and even encour- ages the impertinencies of the page, make up an entirely fresh cueation, totally distinct from the fops of stage conven- tion, however it may resemble them in moral attributes. Holofernes, the schoolmaster, a fop of the pedantic sort, as ex- ceptional in his way as Don Adriano,' is most carefully and na- turally rendered by Mr Williams, who happily combines the scholastic sensitiveness ' with a fund of internal good nature. The line " bone for bene-. Priscian a little scratched; ' twill serve," he gives with marvellous effect, showing at once the magnitude of the crime committed by the ignorant curate and his own mag- nanimity in passing it over. Mr Lewis Ball, who is always at home in Shaksperian clowns, is exactly fitted with Costard, and Dull, the constable, is wrought up to the highest degree of inanity by Mr Meagreson. The little boy Moth, played by Miss Rose Williams, is a most serviceable adjunct to the stately Spaniard, the nicely balanced phrases of Mr Phelps being most ludicrously contrasted by the pert speeches of the boy, while the figures of the two speakers stand as bodily types of formal cox- combry and mother wit. Turning to the eourtiy personages, we find Mr H. Marston as Biron displaying a knowledge ofEliza- bethian gallantry and vivacity that is generally becoming obso- lete, MrF. Robinson looking most comely as the King, Mrs Charles Young speaking most judiciously and unaffectedly as the Princess of France, Miss Fitzpatrick sparkling forth as Rosaline, and the whole glittering train worthily closed bv Mr J. W. Ray, as the facetious veteran of the Court, Boyet. Rarely have so many parts been so well played. HAYMAEKBT THEATEE.— Oa Thursday, Mrs Centlivre's comedy, " The Wonder," was revived here, for the purpose of introducing another American actor iu the character of Don Felix. Mr Charles Sedley is young aud good- looking, and has evidently studied his art with industry. His performance Of the ardent, impatient Spaniard was easy and gentlemanly, al- though not likely to produce any great impression on the Lon- don public. Mrs Catherine Sinclair, who played Violante, pleased us by her unaffected and natural manner ; aud Miss M. Oliver, as Isabella, looked, and acted the pretty Spanish girl to perfection. Mr Howe appeared to great advantage in the bold soldier. Colonel Briton ; and Mr Compton, in the character of Lissardo, was wonderfully droll. Mrs Fitzwilliam personated the ready witted chambermaid with great spirit. The laughter was irices- ant throughout the performance; and at the close, Mrs Sinclair and Mr Sedley were called before the curtain. A similar compliment was paid to Miss Oliver and Mr Howe by a most numerous audience. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. The Parana arrived on Thursday with the West India and Pacific mails. Her latest dates are :— Tampioo, Aug 30 ; Vera Cruz, Sept 4 ; Greytown, 5 ; Colon and Demerara, 9 ; Havana and Cathagena, 10 ; Jamaica and Barbadoes, 11 ; Jacmel, Nevis, and Montserratt, 12 ; Antigua and St Kitts, 13; Porto Rico, 14; St Thomas, 15. The steam- ship Tyne, from Demerara to St Thomas, has been wrecked off the Island of St Vinoent. The captain and crew having abandoned her, a party of Indians got on board, and took away from her every thing of value. Her Majesty's ship Brilliant was at Grenada Sept 8. She had orders to sail to the northward, having suffered much from yellow fever. The Brunswick was at Colon and the Tartar at Grey- town. At Demerara the dry season has set in, and the crop, which is now being shipped, is reckoned to be above the average quantity. Some very fine specimens of cotton are to be seenTn various parts of this colony, and if labour was abundant there would be large quantities made. Just previous to the steamer leaving Demerara the Lieut- Governor received despatches from Sir W. Holmes ( one of the commissioners who had been despatched to the gold fields at Tuququen), stating that he had fallen in with large quantities of gold. There is but little news of importance from Mexico. Rumours prevail of conspiracies against the existing Government, incited by the priesthood. The Spanish invasion is but little cared for now; Vera Cruz has been put in a state of defence. Comonfort still holds the reins of government at Mexico. The weather at Trinidad is extremely fine ; freights are low and business dull. A fortnight's later news is at hand from California. The news is unimportant. Of murders, affrays, suicides, and other deeds of crime and vio- lence, there is a dark record. A number of convicts have suf- fered the extreme penalty of the law, and many have been sent to the penitentiary from various parts of the State. MUBDEB OP A FAEMBB IN CHESHIEE.— About two o'clock on Wednesday morning a shocking murder took place at Bramall, four miles south of Stockport. A farmer and grazier, named James Henderson, aged about sixty years, lived at a farm in Robin's- lane, Bramhall, called Hardy's Farm, and about two o'clock in the morning the family were alarmed by hearing the discharge of a pistol or guu in his bedroom, and the unfortu- nate man was afterwards found in bed, with the left half of his upper jaw shot away, and lying in a pool of blood. Hardy's Farm consists of about 200 acres of land, rented from Colonel Davenport, of Bramall Hall, Cheshire, about a mile distant. The house is a good sized tenement, fronting [ to a garden and small lawn on the south, and with an entrance from the garden, and also a second entrance from the farm yard at tke back. Mr Henderson slept in a bedroom on the first floor, over a front sitting room, near the head of the stairs; his eldest son, James Henderson, who is a cashier at a wholesale grocery house in Manchester, slept in a bedroom to the left of his father's on the same floor, and Mrs Henderson, the wife, who has been some time in ill health, slept with a married daughter in a bedroom on the right. A younger son, Thomas Henderson, aged twenty- six, slept with a servant man and a boy in an attic, and a female servant also slept in an attic. Two Irish lads, who had been working on the farm from June last, slept in a granary over the kitchen, having an entrance from stone steps outside the house, at the west end. The eldest son says he was awoke at about two o'clock in the morning by the discharge of a pistol in his father's room, and getting out of bed he took down a double- barrelled gHn that was in his bedroom. On opening the bedroom door ( which is opposite to the top of the stairs) he saw on the landing, half- wav down the stairs, near a window there, a tall man, at whom he instantly discharged one barrel of the gun. The maa gave vent to an exclamation of pain or alarm, and immediately ran down the remaining six steps. Immediately after this his father's bedroom door was opened, and a light being extinguished at the same moment, three men rushed out and went down the stairs. The whole family were awakened by this time and raised cries of alarm. The younger son having come down from the attic, then joined his brother, and having re- loaded the guu they went dowH stairs and from thence outside the house to the granary- door, arousing the two lads who slept there. They found no trace whatever of the men who had been in the house, and the charge of small shot fired was partly found in the wall by the side of the window, a small portion of it only having struck an upper pane of the window and broken the glass. As far as can be judged, the shot was too high for any portion to have taken effect on a man stand- ing upon the landing. On the two sons re- entering the house they found that a sitting- room door had been opentd, and a leather writing- case belonging to the eider had been forced or out open, and from it £ 1410s in gold had been abstracted. In the father's bedroom there was an order on the Bank of Scotland for £ 100, and a receipt for £ 93 10s, which had been lodged in the district bank at Stockport on the previous day. These were in the drawer of a small dressing table, locked up, and there was no appearance of the drawer having been dis- turbed. Mr Henderson had held his annual sale of stock on Monday, and had sold 38 head of cattle, for which he had re- ceived about £ 218. There are several very mysterious circum- stances about the murder, but which may probably be cleared up hereafter. One is that no door or window had been broken open, so that at least one of the persons concerned must have been concealed on the premises to have let the other in, unless by some accident one of the doors had been left unfastened. Another of these circumstances is that a sheep dog kept in the house, and which that night was in the younger son's attic bed- room, did not bark or give any alarm, and the third is the mo- tive for the murder. The deceased was found lying on his pil- low, and if the object of the burglars was plunder, the firing of a pistol was the surest way to alarm the family and defeat their own purpose. The family, upon the discovery of the murder, communicated as quiekly as possible with the county police, and Mr Chief Superintendent Andrews, of Stockport, was on the remises by about four o'clock. Later in the day Detective uperintendents Maybury and Buckley, from Manchester, vi- sited the house. A post mortem examination was made of the body by Mr Graham of Stockport, who extracted about a dozen No. 6 shot from the head, a portion © f it having entered the brain. Part of a tooth had also been driven into the brain by the charge, and several teeth had been forced through the left cheek, and were found on the room floor. At first suspicion fell upon a servant man, discharged from the house on Saturday night, but on inquiry he was fouud to have been at home all night. James Henderson, the eldest son of the deceased, has since been apprehended on suspicion of being the murderer, and it seems that there i9 very strong circumstantial evidence against the prisoner. He was at once conveyed to Stockport, where he now lies in gaol. The prisoner for several years has been cashier to Messrs Sanders and Smith, cornfactors, of 1, Hanging Ditch Manchester. From the position in which the murdered man was found, it would appear that he had been shot while fast asleep, there being no signs of his having ever moved. His death, of course, was instantaneous. It is almost needless to add that the family are in a sad state of grief. The prisoner is a very respectable- looking young man, and is upwards of 30 years of age. PBOEESSOB ANDEESON AT BIBMINGHAM.— An audience o 5,000 persons attended at the Music Hall, Broad- street, Bir- mingham, on Monday last to witness the various feats of magic and wonder of the professor, it being the commencement of an engagement of twenty- four nights, previous to his leaving England. He generously gave the whole of the proceeds to the funds of the General Hospital. He was well received on his ap- pearance, and has succeeded in drawing large audienoes to wit- ness his magical wonders. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— Among the many in- teresting figures in the royal group of this establishment is a portrait of his Imperial Majesty the present Emperor of Russia. The Emperor is represented iu the uniform of the Russian Guards, decorated with numerous military orders of distinction. POBTLAND ROOMS. — These elegant rooms opened for the season with a grand ball, on Wednesday last, which was attended by upwards of 250 visitors. The arrangements were most com- plete aad gave the greatest satisfaction. The band played a great many of the latest compositions, and Mr Frere is entitled to considerable praise for the manner in which he conducts these popular soirees. CONVICTION FOE MUEDEE IN SCOTLAND.— At the Aberdeen Circuit Court on Thursday week, John Booth, pedlar, was charged with the murder of Jane Galloway, his mother- in- law, at Oldmeldrum on July 21st. Booth had been drinking pretty freely with some companions on the day libelled, when one of the party said that he would go to Beoth's wife, by whom he was sure of a cordial reception. Booth was extremely incensed at this, and, proceeding to his house about half- past nine in the evening, he asked his wife " quietly like" to unfasten his shoes. In a second after he made a stroke at her with what she felt to be a knife, She grasped at it, but her hand slipped along the blade; and, the door of the house being left open, she fled to her father's, 300 or 400 yards distant. Booth followed, and finding the door closed, demanded admittance. The mother- in- law endeavoured to prevent his searching the house, upon which he struck at her, and the blade of the knife ( a long hafted one, with a spring, known as a deer knife) wont straight to the heart, as the poor woman breathed her last in the course of five or six minutes, exclaiming " He's murdered me?" Booth's wife in the meantime had escaped from the house. The jury found the pri- soner guilty of Murder, aud he was sentenced to be hanged on the 21st of October. REFUSAL OP MAGISIEATES TO LICENSE THE DEPTFOBD THBATBE.— For the first time during a period of half a century the district county magistrates of Kent have refused to renew the license for dramatic performances at the Theatre Royal Deptford. The theatre in former years was well patronised by the residents in the neighbourhood, and on its boards many of our greatest modern actors have become public favourites. Of late, however, the theatre has passed into the hands of several individuals as managers, and the persons frequenting the per- formances have been of the lowest elass. The scenes witnessed outside its deors have been the cause ef much annoyance aad complaint on the part of the inhabitants, and special reports having been furnished by the police authorities, showing that the audience consisted principally of children varying from 12 to 16 years of age, between whom and the actors remarks passed during the performances, and that the house was frequently in danger of being set on fire from the audience indiscriminately smoking within its walls, the magistrates refused to entertain the application for a license, and the theatre has consequently been finally olosed. Died in London on Sept 24, W. Grindlay, many years valte to G. Payne, Esq, and Lord Maidstone. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 11, 1857. SPOETING CHRONICLE. TOWN EDITION.] THE TURF.

BLINK BONNY AND THE DONCASTER ST LEGER. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S USE IN LONDON. SIB : I have to thank you for your generous advocacy of my cause relative to the defeat of my mare Blink Bonny for the Doncaster St Leger. Your report exhibited what I should like to see imitated in your contemporaries, viz, a desire to inquire into the truth of facts before giving them to the public; . heed- less of the consequences which may thereby arise; and the ab- sence of all prejudice and malice is alike conspicuous throughout the whole of your narrative of the meeting. I should not have troubled you on the subject had it not been for the infamous and false statements that have been made about me and my neigh, bour and friend Mr Scott, whom parties would in vain endeavour to sacrifice as well as myself; aad having re- ceived several threatening letters of the vilest description from fellows who are not courageous enough te give their names, and being threatened, moreover, with personal violence the next time I appear on a race course, I trust you will lead me your columns to lay before the public the following statement © f the way I prepared my mare for the St Leger, the bets I had on her, and the measures I took to ensure her success ; and these, I feel confident, will be satisfactory to such of my friends aud the noblemen and gentlemen who backed her. It is no secret that I won the Derby and Oaks with Blink Bonny after a prepara- tion which can really only be dated from Chester. Having achieved these victories, the Doncaster St Leger was, of course, the most earnest object of my ambition, and I resolved that no stone should be left unturned on my part to preserve Blink Bonny's fair fame, and render her name as immortal in the annals of the Turf as I believe it will even be now. On the principle of its being impossible to keep the bow always strung, I " let her down" a little after Epsom, land at Liverpool and Goodwood she ran " big," but still won her engage- ments without being asked to gallop. I then entertained the idea of running her at York for the Great Yorkshire Stakes; but the heavy rains setting in we had to change her exercise ground from the tan to the turf, aud in " going up gallop" she flung a shoe and broke her toe so badly that I was obliged to rest her for a fortnight, and give her a couple of doses of physic. After York, I began to put her in strong work again, and she went on doing very well, except suffering slightly from her teeth, one of which was extracted by Mr Mawe oa the 30th of August. That gentleman also dressed her mouth twice be- tween then and Doncaster. A fortnight previous to the race, I regret to add that she slipped up and injured her quarter from whipping round suddenly on being frightened at a gentleman getting into a gig that was standing on the Wold. By fomentation I reduced the swelling, but of course by this circumstance I could not work the mare to my liking, and had, as may be imagined, much to contend with,— the complaint peculiar to her sex having also set in unusually strong, and aggravated by the muggy weather and her nervous state it did not go off until just before the Park Hill. Still she galloped so free, and to the eye so like in her old form, that although I should have wished to have had her bigger, I still thought I should have " got through" with her. At Doncaster, singular to state, she would not eat her hay in her usual way, but ate tolerably well of oorn, and perhaps had I given her a little grass, as I had done previous to the Derby and other races, she might have done better. She galloped th6 morning before the Leger to my satis- faction, and also Charlton's, and all who saw her then admitted at once she was Blink Bonny. I now come to the night previous to the race, when, having heard of the rumours which were in circulation respecting the mare being " safe," I took every possible precaution to protect myself, my friends, and the public. I had a long interview with Charlton, in which I im" pressed upon him the seriousness of his task ia riding her for the Leger, adding my perfect belief that he would do me the same justice he had done me in the Derby, Oaks, and, in fact, in every race in which he had ridden for me ; and I added, " the eyes of Yorkshire and the world were on him." He assured me he had backed the mare for a sum which he mentioned to me. I removed a pecuniary impediment to his mount, and we parted mutually satisfied with each other, he and I both believing that we should be successful oa the morrow. The result of the race is now well known, and, how ever mortifying to me, I must bear with it, the only consolation I have being, that I did all I knew to avoid it, and my belief that it was brought about by circum. stances over which I had no control, which I have pointed out, and which I endeavoured to master to the best of my ability, The only bets I had on the race were the following: viz, 75 to 1,125 and 50 to 150 on Blink Bonny ; these I hedged by betting 140 to 80 and 65 to 40 against her. I also took 400 to 200 about Ignoramus, and 250 to 10 about Impgrieuse; and at the especial request of Mr Charles Peck I laid him £ 100 to his race van which he valued at £ 60. Beyond these amounts I had not one shilling dependent upon the St Leger. I had not the slightest communication, either personally or by letter, with Mr Scott, who, I have reason to believe, never fancied Imp^ rieuse could have beaten Blink Bonny, and I should never have dared to have approached him with any proposition which would not bear the light of day. In conclusion, let me avow my belief that the best mare won on the day, but my hope is that when we meet again Blink Bonny will . recover her laurels; and having laid before your readers my plain unvarnished statement of things as they really were, and which I have done both in justice to myself and Mr Scott, I beg to state I shall take no further notice of any more written or personal slanders on this unpleasant subject, but leave myself entirely in the hands of the sporting world, who one day or another I am satisfied will render the justice that is due to, Sir, your obedient servant, W. I'ANSON, Spring Cottage, Malton, Sept 26, 1857. P. S. Perhaps it may be satisfactory to add that no human being owns even a hair of Blink Bonny's tail but myself, nor has anybody the slightest controul over her. Mr J. C. Smith has named the filly by Cowl out of Diversion purchased at Sir Joseph Hawley's sale at Tattersall's on the 3C. of August last, Yarra Yarra. The two year old filly by Touchstone out of Ellerdale's dam is named Lady Turnstall. WALSALL, 1858.— The stewards for this meeting are R. S Walker, Esq., and S. Perks, Esq.

SIB : A recent Guildhall proceeding, which was reported in your last impression, is of a character so important to the rights of Englishmen that I am induced to avail myself of the opportunity of a rather leisure week to invite public attention to the subject, in the hope that efforts may be made to put an end to a species of tyranny worse than is to be met with in any petty Austrian state. We are well aware, Sir, of the obstinate and fanatic determination of the City authorities te put down the betting lists, for fear that there would be more Redpaths than Whittingtons among their apprentices, and perhaps in this respect they are not liable to censure; but there are limits to all things, and the apprehension of Mr Abraham Davis, for no other cause than asking a person in the street the result of a race, testifies to what length these ignorant unpaid Dogberries would go, wereithey not at times curbed either by some sensible colleague or by the expression of public opinion. It was a com- mon remark in one of the earliest works of the great English novelist that " a magistrate commits himself oftener than he does others," and Alderman Hale, ia the dictum he laid down in this case, must certainly be said to have cleverly illustrated that idea. It is as impossible to forbid people betting in the streets as it is to hinder them from speculating in tallow in the pre- cincts of the Baltic Coffee House, or jobbing in Consols in the passages adjoining Capel- court. Both localities are daily more crowded than Bride- lane, and yet we have never been edified by the sight of a " man of tallow," or a " stag" in the dock of the Guildhall. If that were the case, then I might bo induced to believe there is some sincerity in the desire of these City Solons to put down that gambling which they affect so to deprecate. But the poor aud the humble, and those who they imagine cannot retain counsel's aid to protect them, are the parties against whom the terrors of the law arc sought to be enforced. Fortunately for the indi- vidual in question, Alderman Copeland, that glorious exception to the generality of the Aldermanic bench, was present whilst this iniquitous outrage upon a British subject was in course of investigation. Sportsman and gentleman as he is it was not likely he could brook tamely such a step, and his rap over the knuckles to the presiding function- ary will not, I thiuk, be readily forgotten; whilst his de- claration of the rights of the poor man to bet or speculate as much as the rich man is deserving of being recorded in letters of gold over the Mansion House seat of judgment. But, Sir, Alderman Copelatid has other legislative duties to perform besides those of a civic magistrate ; therefore, I con- ceive that some measure should be devised by which the humble Turfite may have that protection afforded him which certainly would not have been granted but for the accidental presence of the honourable member for Stoke- upon- Trent, more especi- ally as the recently- elected Lord Mayor is one of the fiercest bigots on this question ; aud, I thiuk, your readers will coincide with me that were the venue in this matter changed to Austria or Hungary, and Mr Davis been some flaming- mouthed patriot, the Common Council chamber wotild have rung with fierce denunciations against such tyranny, and the lovers of what is called " civil and religious liberty" would no doubt have freely contributed funds to his relief. The pre- sent case, however, which comes home to every one of us, and in which the liberty of the subject is so vitally concerned, seems to be dying a natural death, and except from Alderman Copelaud, there appears no hope for sympathy and redress. Will the honourable member, therefore, earn for himself fre3h popularity by adopting some measure by which the speculators in horseflesh may obtain the same protection that is accorded to those who risk their money in other ventures ? In his hands I leave the case, confident both of his ability and desire to master it, and conscious of the gratitude that awaits him from every member of the sporting world. The appointments for the ensuing week are Chester, the Royal Caledonian Hunt, Bedford, Richmond, and Wrexham Meetings, so that there is a choice offered, fair and wide, to the numerous class of bookmakers who ply their vocation away from the jurisdiction of clerical an d canting magistrates. The Chester Autumn is the first of these reunions, and was first fixed for Tuesday and Wednesday, thereby avoiding a collision with auy other meeting save that held on the other 8ide of the Border. The Humiliation Day, however, has neces- sitated the bringing forward of the racing to Monday, which will leave the other English fixtures untouched. Mr Topham's list exhibits eleven races for the two days, the entries to which bespeak the popularity of the indefatigable caterer. The Shorts Handicap is the inauguration raoe, and there are twenty subscriptions to it, Lord Nelson and Leo looking the most formidable. The Mostyn Stakes, for two's and three's, has eight entries, three of which belong to Joha Osborne's stable, and his repre- sentative— in all probability Old Times— can hardly fail to be the winner. For the Innkeepers' Handicap seventeen names are down, and as December, I presume, will be reserved for the Cesarewitch, Bar- barity, Kestrel, and Thistle appear to fee " best in." The Alma Stakes had thirty- two nominations, one of which ( Punster) is dead. The majority of the entries are " dark," aud rumour has not been so busy with their good qualities as to in- duce me to suppose Deceiver cannot give them 71b and beat them, The Tradesmen's Welter Cup and a Selling Stakes complete the first day's card. The Wynnstay Nursery Haadicap, on Tuesday, presents a good entry of twenty- nine, out of which Thornhill, Medallion, and Turret may be found capable of beating the field. The Grand Stand Handicap has twenty nominations, and the winner, I think, will be in Mr Jackson's lot or T. P. Cook. The Chester Handicap Plate is a more valuable stake than is often met with in an autumn list, and having forty- five sub- scribers is certain to bring out a large field. The handicap is a light but good one, and reads upon papa- as likely to be carried off by Saunterer, Underhand, or Bashi- Bazouk. The Royal Caledonian Hunt Meeting, which is considered the " crack" race gathering of Scotland, has within the last two or three years attracted many competitors from this side of the Tweed, and I am well aware a strong desire exists amongst the leading members of the Scotch nobility to render the meeting worthy ef its proper position in the couutry. The entries for the present reunion are somewhat limited, which may be easily accounted for by the numerous engagements of English horses. The Caledonian Handicap is the only item out of the four in the ' Tuesday's list which is closed, ami out of the eight left in Hamlet or Greencastle looks most like winning. On Thursday— which, in consequence of the Fast, will be the second day— there will be five raoes decided, commencing with the Caledonian St Leger, which in the absence of Riseber ought to be carried off by Liverpool. The Lothian Handicap has fifteen acceptances, and Uzella may have a chance of recovering for her party a portion of the money lost on her at Warwick. Bedford, since it has been taken in hand by " the Admiral," has become a most agreeable addition to the meetings which are held in the metropolitan district, and the accession of patronage it has received from the Newmarket traiaers has caused good results. There are five races each afternoon, but the Bedford- shire Stakes, on the first day, is the most important item in the bill of fare. The Handicap has obtained thirteen acceptances, the top weight being Fisherman, and the " feather" Weather- glass ; and on this occasion the old saying of " the last shall be first" will, I think, be verified. Ia the Two Year Old Stakes Grand Duchess's penalty of 31b should not interfere with her winning ; and in the Scurry, Olympus, Eardrop, and Jessie I regard as most formidable. Wrexham follows, as usual, in the wake of Chester ; but the programme of that or the Richmond meeting, where there is every prospect of some capital sport, I dare not attempt to criticise.— I am, sir, yours, & c, OBSERVER. Horses marked * are in the Derby, t ia the Oaks, t ia the Leger- OCTOBER the Selling race, which was carried off by Plague Royal, who thereby found a third owner within two days; aud with this event the meeting terminated.

The commencement of the autumual meetings at " head quarters," warns us of the speedy termination of another racing season, albeit ere the period arrives for reviewing the incidents _ ^ which have signalised that remarkable epoch many important to the bushes, when she got to the non- favourite's quarters, but eventshavetobedecided. Of the half dozen Newmarketrj Sre^^ SSffi^^^ a^ Sr^^ S^ LS^ there is none, to our thinking, so enjoyable as the FirstOctooer, ; Run in 2min 23sec. the present anniversary of which must be pronounced the most J A SWEEPSTAKES of 10 sovs each ; two year olds st 71b, three successful ever known ; and compared with last year's meeting, during which twenty events were brought to issue, the contrast is in every respect most flattering, notwithstanding the small- ness of the fields for the majority of the plates and selling races owing to so many horses being reserved for the Cesarewitch ana Cambridgeshire meetings, and the counter attractions offered to " platers" at the too numerous provincial gatherings at this period of the year. The dense fog in which the eastern district of London was enveloped on Tuesday morniug when the eight o'clock train left Shoreditch, added to the unsettled weather of the previous day or two, held out anything but cheering prospects to the voyageurs, but after quitting the me- tropolitan suburbs we entered a totally different atmosphere> and later in the day whilst upon the Heath could almost have fancied ourselves at the July meeting, so intensely powerful was the effect of the sun's rays. Tempered, however, by a gentle breeze, the weather was delightful in the extreme, and never do we remember to have seen the running ground in more exquisite order. There was an exceedingly good attendance, including many of the habitues and aristocratic supporters of New- market, together with a considerable accession of new blood; the Ring presented a larger muster of speculators than is usually seen at this meeting, and there was a fair amount of betting upon most of the races. The card embraced eight items, one of which— the Match between Comquot and Aster— went off in a forfeit by the former, who is reported hors de combat, but this failure and the shortcomings noticeable ia many of the fields was amply recompensed by the close and ex- citing character of the sport generally throughout the afternoon. The interval between the arrival of the train and the commence- ment of proceedings on the Heath passed off without auy im- portant transactiou upon forthcoming events; in the refresh- ment- room, during the stoppage at Cambridge, 1,400 to 200 was taken about Mons Dobler for tha Cesarewitch. The opeuing event of the meeting was the Trial Plate, reduced to a match between Flyaway aud Tame Deer, the former of whom won easily and upset the odds betted on the mare. In the next race, a small T. Y. C. Selling Sweepstakes, the gentlemen got a portion of their money back upon West End, but dropped it again in the Buckenh& m, wherein Blanche of Middlebie took the shine out of Star of the East, to the no little surprise of the latter's stable, who, with the line through Target, reckoned pretty con- 8st 71b, four and upwards 9st, the winner to be sold for 50 tovs if demanded, & c; T.

Of the eleven candidates for preferment in the Hopeful, the strong recommendations of Governess from the Michel Grove " seminary" secured for her such a very flattering reception that the claims of the remainder, if we may judge from the dulness of the betting, were almost unheeded by the public, although Venetia, Botany, Harry Stanley, and July were more or less fancied by their owners. Of this lot, however, Sir Lydstone Newman's filly alone showed anything like a formidable opposi- tion to the " crack"— a magnificent fiily— who only just managed to secure the fiat by a neck. Hepatica's absence was accounted for by the mare going dead amiss soon after her arrival on the previous Saturday from Maltou, where she has been under John Scott's charge since Doncaster.

His lordship's retirement from the Turf at the present moment is to be regretted. DEATH OP FOSTEK BELL — This well- known jockey breathed his last on Monday, in the Medway Union, Chatham. Whilst riding a horse on Chatham race course on Friday, Sept 11, the horse fell, and rolled over poor Bell aud broke his collar- bone, besides causing concussion of the brain. The poor fellow never rallied, and after seventeen days' illness expired. SEEIOTTS CHABGE AGAINST A JOCKET.— William Bryan was charged before the Monmouth magistrates on Saturday week, by Mr Evans, the owner of Van Eyck, with maliciously setting on fire the box or stall which contained Van Eyck, for the purpose of injuring the horse. Bryan rode Blue Bell for Mr Evans in the Chippenham Stakes at the late Monmouth Races, and during the race his leg came in contact with one of the flagstaffs, which dismounted him, and placed the mare hors de combat. On Bryan applying for his fee on the Friday night, Mr Evans, thinking that through the boy's carelessness his mare had lost the raoe, refused to give him anything, upon which it is alleged, that Bryan remarked, " Then I will do something for you." Bryan, and a lad named Walley, had the charge of Mr Southby's horses, Leo and Cara Fatima, for whom each of them had ridden in the course of the meeting. These horses were located at the Angel, as were Van Eyck and Blue Bell. All four horses were in adjoining boxes. Mr Southby's were separated from Mr Evans's bv a strong partition, with a gangway through, but which was stopped up by an old nailed- up door, at the top and bottom, and at the side of which were apertures. Bryan and Walley got up early on Saturday morning to prepare their horses for the journey homewards, aud used a candle in the stable, as it was dark. As Walley, according to his statement on oath, was leadiHg his mare Cara Fatima out of the stable, Bryan called his attention to a fire in the next box, Van Eyck's, and he went and looked through the crevices and saw the stable in flames. The boys did not give any alarm, but proceeded to make their escape with their horses from the impending danger; immediately afterwards one of the horsekeepers of the establishment dis- covered the fire, gave the alarm, broke open the door, and then saw Van Eyck in the midst of the fire, which was rising fear- fully around him, from his hind heels to his nostrils. The horse was rescued as soon as possible. Deacon, the man who had the charge of Mr Evans's horses, was in bed at the time. He had done them up the night before, and retired to rest, taking the key of the stable with him. The case was minutely gone into, but nothing but circumstantial evidence was adduced, the strongest points being the threat to Mr Evans; no one, save the man belonging to the inn, being about the spot where the fire commenced excepting the two boys Bryan and Walley— the former calling the other's attention to the fire— and there being no marks of fire but in Van Eyck's box, and they being chiefly on that part nearest to Mr Southby's stable. Walley stated that the candle was not taken into the stall next to Van Eyck, but that it remained iu the box most remote from it, which was Bryan's. The horse is not expected to survive many days. The boys departed with their horses, but, from the suspiciousness of the affair, a policeman was sent after them, and brought them back. Bryan was committed to take his trial at tb. 3 next assizes, but the magistrates offered to take bail for his appearance to the amount of £ 200 for himself, and two sureties of £ 106 each. which The Flying Duke was entrusted. From the manner which Grand Duchess " hung " at tke finish, in spite of Fiat- man's efforts to keep her straight, it was pretty evident that the backers of the favourite ( one of whose coronets was severely cut by the mare's plate) would be afforded another chance for their money, and on returning to wei^ h Ashmali claimed the race on the ground of a cross, Being the last race of the day, the crowd instantly proceeded to the town, aad in due oourse the complaint was investigated by the Marquis of Anglesey and Mr Neville, the latter acting for Lord Wm. Powlett, who had a bet on the race. The jockeys, judge, and one or two bystanders were examined, and after a careful and somewhat lengthy investigation, during which the layers of 5 to 1 on Grand Duchess began to feel any- thing but comfortable, the Stewards decided in favour of Mr Greville's mare. The Ring had nearly dispersed when the decision was made known, and during the iu, terval there was very little occupation for the metallies, except about Mary, wh ® , in the course of the day, was backed for all the money that could be got on at prices averaging between 25 and 15 to 1. We heard of only a few investments upon the favourite, but he was remarkably firm nevertheless, and 8 to 1 would have been taken to any amount. The Plush colt was in some demand for the Cambridgeshire. The following list of quotations is made up from personal observation before dinner and in the evening, when the Room was again very thinly attended:— Cesarewitch: 15 to 2 agst Mons Dobler ( take 8 to 1), 12 to 1 agst the Plush colt, 15 to 1 agst Mary, 25 to 1 agst Biack Tommy ( tk), 1,000 to 30 agst Warlock ( taken freely), 1,000 to 30 agst Lima, 1,000 to 30 agst Odd Trick, 1,000 to 30 agst Aster, 1.000 to 30 agst Renown, 1,000 to 30 & g3t Apathy, 1,090 to 25 agst Victoria, 1,000 to 25 agst Neville, 1,00 ® to 20 ai< st Pryor, 1,000 to 15 agst Sister to Elfrida, 1,000 to 10 r. gst Hamlet, 1,000 to 10 agst Cedric, 1,000 to 16 agst Gunboat, 1,000 to 10 agst Dusty Miller, 1,000 to 15 agst Hamlet and Queen Bess ( coupled). Cambridge- shire : 20 to 1 agst Plush colt, 20 to 1 agst Whistling Willie, 25 to 1 agst Madlle de Cnantilly. Derby : 2,000 to 100 agst Clydesdale, 20 to 1 agst Longrange, 50 to 1 agst Mentmore, 2,000 to 20 agst Toxopholite. The hazey state of the atmosphere during the morning caused forebodings to be entertained of a change of weather, but before the hour of noon, at which the commencement of operations ou the Heath was fixed, the grey fog fairly melted uuder Old Sol's powerful influence, and the day turned out even more brilliant than either of the two preceding ones. Such weather, for October cannot be remembered by those who have visited Newmarket for half a century, and let us hope that it may continue, both to increase the pleasurable enjoyment of pheasaut shooting, and add to the exciting attractions of the two last great meetings at " head quarters." Notwithstanding the failure of the three matches, the card, thanks to the capital entries overnight for the handicaps and selling plates, promised a much better after- noon's sport than could have been reckoned upon, considering the support awarded to engagements of a similar character on the first and second days ; and that these promises were realised the improvements in the strength of the fields and excellence of the racing abundantly testify. The racing was resumed with a Handicap Plate across the Flat, for which Little Tom, if he had not stopped and " bucked " half way up the hill, would assuredly have spoilt the certainty which, judging from the fact of the winner being the only animal backed, the race was re- garded for Kestrel. The whole of the fourteen left in went to the post for the Handicap on the last half of the Abingdon Mile, and King of the Forest nearly accomplished a second coup, which to his owner, perhaps, would have been more relish- able than his previous victory, from the fact of the horse being on this occasion backed for some money. His weight, however, added to Old Tom's fine speed, and the advantage obtained at starting, enabled the latter to take his revenge upon the con- queror of his stable companion in the Eastern Counties' Handi- cap. The Two Year Old Triennial brought out eight runners, and Star of the East was again honoured by the support of the cognoscenti, but he proved himself unworthy of the distinction by exhibiting anytkiug but a willing disposi- tion when called upon to finish, and struck his colours to Ancient Briton and Brother to Mary Copp, the former of whom won in such clever style that we shall be much surprised if time does not do great things for him. The scene of operations was now changed to the Cambridge side of the Ditch, where the Queen's Plate was brought to issue ou the Round Course. Renown was on the spot, and an interesting encounter between her and Fright was looked forward to, but after the other three had been weighed for the mare was sent home, and the " knotty point" reserved for settlement in the Cesarewitch. The meeting of Druid and Fright nevertheless created considerable interest, but the success of the latter was scarcely ever in doubt. Five runners were telegraphed for the Rutland Stakes, but, owing to David Hughes being unable to find Baron Rothschild's Even- ing Star cclt," only four started, and the ease with which Kille- grew won showed that the layers of odds had no cause for alarm, The winner— a fine powerful colt but very " backward,"— was purchased when a yearliug from one of the Duke of Bedford's tenants who bred him, for £ 50, and his grace has since bought Doncaster St Leger 71b, of the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes or the Oaks 51b extra; horses which have never won a plate or sweepstakes allowed 5lb ; D.

At the Duke's Stand Druid overhauled Melissa, and immediately afterwards Pitapat took his place at Melissa's quarters on the right, whilst Victoria went up between her and Druid, who ran rather wide on the lower ground. In this order they remained to the cords, when Druid showed in advance and won cleverly by a length. Pitapat, who beat Melissa by a neck, finishing half a length behind Victoria. Ruu in 4aain 4sec.

Stewards: Baron Rothschild, Sir H. de Trafford, Bart; W. S. S. Crawfurd, Esq, and E. Buckley, Esq. Judge and Handi- capper: Mr R. Johnson. Starter: Mr Elliott. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. Bake. Directors of popular meetings may well grow impatient for reform when, as at Manchester, efforts worthy of the best days of the Turf become half neutralised by a round of indifferent racing appointments, yielding neither profit to their concoctors nor satisfaction to anybody else; for to the latter cause may be attributed the poor return for the very best list since the establishment of autumn races at the northern sporting city. We allude, of course, to the small fields compared with the splendid entries obtained for the principal handicaps. Turning, however, to the bright side of the picture, we do not remember to have seen here so large a muster of speculators, from all points of the compass too, as patronised the Ring on Friday, when, as a Selling Stake did not fill, four races only appeared on the card for decision. The magnificent struggle for the Trafford Handi- cap was the chief feature of the sport, full details of which are appended. Contrary to appearances of the gloomy forenoon, nothing could surpass the glorious autumnal weather that set in with the commencement of business, making matters on the whole far more agreeable than was at first anticipated. Freah arrivals of horses over night, and an additional item to five already filled in the programme, bore out anticipations that the second day's racing would more than compensate for unpre- cedentedly shortcomings on the first. Strings of piled omni- buses, crowds of pedestrians, the Ring, Staud, and minor erec- tions well patronised, coupled with a summer- like day, supplied a decent approximation to the Whitsuntide monster revels, a result scarcely to be expected when short days are fast shelving for the season other, and it may bo equally, attractive out- door amusements. The Nursery Handicap, which otherwise com- memorates the half- holiday now observed at the Exhibition city- on Saturdays, stood first for decision. Eleven went to the pest, but nothing appeared to have the ghost of a chance with the favourite and top weight, Sunbeam, who landed the " pot" with the greatest conceivable ease. The " rhino," how- ever, again changed hands in the easy defeat of Little Cob ( who never showed to advantage in any part of the race) by Lord Nelson, whose victory over his own ground was loudly cheered. Correct as were the calculations ou Mr Merry's filly for the opening event, assurance was rendered doubly sure when her number was not displayed for the Grand Stand Plate, which, it will be seen, proved the mere canter it looked for her upon paper. Some spirited and protracted competition at the hammer followed the success of the Mickey Free colt in the Two Year Old Selling Stakes, whereby 130 guineas were placed to the racing fund, which, it will be remembered, was enriched to a handsome figure last year by the sale of Polly for this same race. Seldom has patience been more completely worn out by delays at the post than was palpably manifested at the number of failures — or rather say disgraceful obstinacy on the part of some of the riders— that preceded the Scurry. In the first place, time was lost through the Baroness filly throwing a plate before leaving the padiock, and messengers were forthwith despatched to stay the starting of the others then at the post. On her arrival thereat ensued the reprehensible proceedings referred to— for participa- tion in which several, whose names we could not learn, were fined. Daylight, consequently, was far gone when the flag fell to this the winding- up event of the meeting, the result of which very plainly showed that but for getting badly off, Ella would have been " there or thereabouts" in the City Plate on the first day. After his race for the Stand Plate, Red Robin was knocked down to Mr Councillor Pratt for 27 guineas. We have pleasure to add that the receipts at the Stands were most satis- factory, and the meeting in all its departments highly credit- able to the management, chief of whom, the worthy clerk, Mr Bake, expressed himself that, during the thirty years he has served the public, on no occasion ( all things considered) have his labours been more amply rewarded.

Greenwich Fair, with the favourite laid up at her heels, showed in advance when at the fifth attempt the flag fell, succeeded by Thornhill, Julia, and Darkie, a clear interval separating them from the rfext division, at the head of which, as they made the turn, was Adventurer. The issue, how. ever, was never in doubt from the distance, where Sunbeam shot to the fore, and cantered in an easy winner bv a length ; half a length each divided seoond, third, and fourth ; Thornhill beaten a head from the latter ; Darkie sixth, also well up; Hes. perithusa next; the rest nowhere. Pritchard, Bullock, Withing. ton, and Snowden were fined 2 sovs each for disobedience to the starter. The SELLING STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added ; T. Y. C.

The restive- ness ol Lord Nelson occasioned a straggling start, taking advan- tage of which Lord Jersey went off with the lead, but in a few strides was headed by Tiff, who dropped away at the three- quarter mile post, and Lord Nelson took up the running, his immediate attendants to just below the distance being Hospi- tality, Blight, and Ella. The latter, wide on the outside, then made her effort, but failed to overhaul his lordship, who won in a canter by a length, Blight getting seoond honours by a head on the post. At an interval of four lengths, the favourite was fourth, Hospitality and Lord Jersey finishing close up with him.

Half an hour was cut to waste in getting the horses together, during which there were upwards of a dozen failures, the twilight into which the afternoon had by this time faded just enabling us to make out that Ella was about three lengths in advance, when at last the signal was given. At a cracking pace she was followed round the bend by Princess of Orange, and to this pair the issue was thence confiued, the latter gradually drawing upon the leader from the distance, but failing to get quite up was defeated, after an exciting finish, by a neck , the third, two lengths off, beat the fourth by a head ; the fa- vourite was fifth, about two lengths from them. Red White and Blue and Prince's Mixture finishing immediately behind her. CHESTERFIELD RACES. Stewards: E. W. Fox and F. W. Bagshawe, Esqs. Judge and Handicapper: Mr Johnson. Clerk of the Course: Mr F. E « Martin. It was doubtful up to the beginning of September, whether races would be held this year at the borough with the crooked spire. Certain reprehensible proceedings on the last occasion amongst the class who alone profit by the affair, determined Mr Martin, whe has been the life and soul of racinghere for many a season, to have no more to do with it. Thus matters remained until a few weeks back, when further unpleasantness having been removed, Mr M., with his wonted good- nature, resumed his post. With advancing years, but with unimpaired activity, nevertheless, it was too much again to press upon him double duty as clerk and judge, and accordingly the latter function was now taken off his hands by Mr Johnson. The short time allowed for preliminaries may account for a diminution in the entries, which were not so good as last year, but the main object, the " people's holiday," was attained, with all the customary frolic and hilarity; and as related to the weather, a more delightful sample of autumn never gladdened the heart or shed beauty over the landscape. Except in the Revival Plate, when the severe up- hill finish choked off Cornbro', the favourites pulled through; in every instance on Tuesday; and but for the defeat of Skycutter in the Innkeepers' Plate ( another stride would have reversed the judge's decision), it was also dead against the bookmen on the second day. It will be seen, notwithstanding, that the " spoils" so far were equally divided between the Wantage and Middleham stables, though John Osborne's proverbial luck over this ground went a Eoint further by Princess of Orange placing to his account the ladies' Handicap. An example worthy of imitation by country managements may be mentioned in the small entrance fee attached to half a dozen out of the eight races provided. The usual bit of heat running wound up a most efficiently conducted meeting, the attendance each day having been respectable and very numerous. TUESDAY, SEPT 29.— The REVIVAL HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 40 added, for two year olds ; second to save his stake ; about three quarters of a mile ; 7 subs. * 1 Mr I.

The lead was taken by Childrey, with the Middleham pair ia waiting to the straight, from whence Lot Three carried on the running to the distance, where he was in trouble, and the command was re- sumed by Childrey, to overhaul whom an effort on the part of the favourite proved unavailing, and he was defeated easily by a length, same between second and third ; the others tailed off a long way. The CHATSWOETH PLATE of 50 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, S ft; the second to save his stake, and the winner to pay 5 sovs to the fund: once round a* d a distance; 6 subs. Mr T.

The favourite went in front directly the signal was given at the second attempt, followed by the Cripple and Fairy, the others lying off. There was no change until cross- ing the road in the bottom, about a quarter of a mile from home, whan the Cripple dropped away, aud Fairy with Black Tiffany took their places next to Tinwald, who, however, was never ap- proached, and he won in a common canter by two lengths, the second saving his stake by the same; Tiff beaten thrice as far from them, and The Cripple, walking in from the distance, did not pass the chair.

There was a false start, in which Helen Ragan broke away and made a circuit of the course; when a second time got to the post she again turned restive, fell on her head, got rid of the boy, and was sot remounted. The others got away on pretty even terms at the second attempt, Fairy cutting out the work, with the favourite, Blight and Black Tiffany laid up at her heels to the distance, from whence the issue was con fined to Fairy and Tinwald, and the latter collaring the mare m the last fifty yard3, headed her at the Stand, and won cleverly by half a length; bad third.

These races opened with highly favourable weather, and a good attendance of company. The first day's list contained five races only, owing to the Two Year Old Stakes, which is gene- rally looked upon as an important item, failing to obtain the requisite number of four entries only ! The course was in fine order, the fields were small, and the principal event, the Great North Riding Handicap, brought out only four runners, but it afforded a fine race with three, Evelyn winning by a neck. The Cesarewitch favourite, Saccharissa, who was much punished, was beaten three or four lengths. The meeting was well con- ducted throughout, and the following will be found full details :— THURSDAY, OCT 1.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 20 added; the winner to pay 5 sovs towards expenses; one mile; 3 subs.

TUESDAY, SEPT 29.— The revival of this meeting, after an in- tervaloftwo years, occasioned not by any want of funds, for they have always been amply sufficient, but for want of some etn- cient manager, was attended with complete success, the attend- ance being quite as large as in the days when Brunette, 1 he Fawn, Blueskin, Sam Siick, Saucepan, and many other steeple chase notabilities contested the Rock Stakes. The; sport, as will be seen by the return appended, afforded ample amusement on both days, particularly on Wednesday. The Handicap on the first day was contested by five animals of no great form, and the state of the ground and the length of the course— a very short mile and a half— being just suitable to Sunshine, he won easily in two heats. The Rock Stakes— the first steeple chase of the season— brought out a field of seven, the contest for the early part of the race being very severe, but towards its close, owing to both Flaghopper and May Morning falling, it lost much of its interest. The Old Screw won in a canter, The Wild Irish Girl kneeing the last wall, and Heber refusing it alto- gether. On Wednesday the racing was much better, Flaghopper winning the Hunt Stakes, after a fine race with Wild Irish Girl. The Handicap on the fiat was won easily by Veteran, and the Members' Plate was only brought to a conclusion after three severely contested heats. The weather on both days was beau- tifully fine. A HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added, for horses, & c ; the second to save his stake ; a winner of 50 sovs after the declaration of the weights 5lb extra; heats, one mile and a half; 6subs.

Flaghopper took the lead soon after starting, and attended by May Morning and Wild Irish Girl, made the running at a strong pace for two miles, when he fell at the fence preceding the up one at the limekiln, at the latter of ' Which May Morning also " came to grief." The Old Screw then took up the running, attended by The Wild Irish Girl and Heber to the last wall, which the latter, quite pumped out, refused. The race was then left to end in a match between The Old Screw and the Wild Irish Girl, the former drawing away at every stride, winning very easily by a dozen lengths.^ Only the two passed the winning chair. The FARMERS' PLATS of 15 sovs was won easny in two heats by Mr Walsh's Farmer's Boy, 4 yrs, lOst ( Clancy), beating four others.

" THACKER'S COURSER'S ANNUAL." As the turfite appreciates the annual statistics of sport which appear at the close of the season, so does the courser anticipate the invaluable work now under notioe. It would undoubtedly be a great acquisition if the " Annual" could be produced at a somewhat earlier period, but when we state that it has been en- larged upwards of 200 pages, besides containing several import, ant alterations, our readers will, we are sure, excuse the delay rather than receive the work in an incomplete state. It has, however, been published ere the season has actually commenced, and will be duly estimated by all who intend at once renewing the coursing campaign, containing as it does an Alphabetical Return of the Running at all the public Coursing Clubs in England, Ireland, and Scotland, with Pedigrees, a synopsis showing the number of Prizes won or ruuupfor. thenumberof Courses Won or Lost, and the number of Dogs engaged by the Progeny of Stallion Greyhounds, the Pro- duce of Bitches, and Propositions for the Management of Coursing Meetings, RulesfortheGuidanceof Committees intheirDecisions, and for Coursing Bets, & c, & c. The above statement would in itself be sufficient to commend the work to the notice of every admirer of the leash, were such commendation necessary, but Mr Welsh's powers of compilation are too well known, and his general accuracy so universally appreciated as to need no re- marks of ours by way of approbation. This is the only work of ' he kind that can be implicitly relied on, and the replete nature of its contents fully warrants a continuance of that support hitherto so freely bestowed on it.

Whitmore, of Waterloo- road, Liverpool, 200 sovs to 106 sovs that his mare Daw did not trot two miles in six minutes, and the 22d September was the day appointed for the match to be brought to an issue. The place selected was the Liverpool and Warring- ton road, from the fifteenth to the thirteenth| mile stone. So par- ticular was the layer that he had the two miles measured by a surveyor, and they were found to be correct. The match had created a great sensation in sporting circles, the general opinion being that Mr Whitmore had overrated his mare, and up to the evening previous timehad the call at 2 to 1. Half- past one was the hour appointed, and by that time hundreds of people had congre- gated from Manchester, Liverpool, and Warrington. Shortly after the umpires and timekeepers were agreed upon, the atten- tion of the crowd was drawn to the mare passing on her way to the starting- post, and she was pronounced by judges tebeas " fit as a fiddle." She is a dark bay mare, 15i hands high, nearly thoroughbred, being by Catface, dam by Fireaway. She was ridden by Peter Paget, of London, who came specially, and he certainly rode her in a very patient and talented style. She per- formed her task in an apparently very easy manner, and upon the arrival of the timekeepers to compare watches it was found she had trotted the distance in 5 minutes 56 seconds, winning by 4 seconds. The announcement was hailed with immense cheering, and Mr Whitmore was warmly congratulated upon his success. Mr Clough was so well satisfied that he ordered the stakeholder to hand the stakes over on the spot. Mr BorroR's be b Blue Sky, by Black Cloud out of Bouquet, beat Mr Jno.

It is considered one of the most im- portant cattle fairs in the southern counties, and forms a great animal gathering of stock- breeders and farmers. The heavy stock was net in high condition, but healthy, and among which there was a brisk business transacted. There was a good supply of milch cows, which were eagerly bought up by London dairy- men, well- bred short- horns, in full milk, making 18 to 24 guineas; ditto down calving, £ 16 to £ 20. Alderney cows with a small calf, 14 to 20 guineas ; half- milkers, £ 8 to £ 12; store bullocks, £ 14 to £ 18; oxen for the yoke, £ 40 to £ 44 the pair ; heifers, £ 8 to £ 12 ; steers, £ 10 to £ 14 ; bulls, £ 10 to £ 16; yearlings, £ 5 to £ 7. In the pens there were some first class stock folded, and many eminent flock, masters contributed; and, despite the high prices asked, very large sales were effected. For fat wethers, 60s to 66s a head were made ; store ditto, 48s to 50s; ewes, half- breds, 26s to 30s: ditto choice bred Southdowns, 32s to 38s; and selected pens of ditto, 42s to 44s a head. Lambs, fat, 28s to 30s: ditto stock, 18s to 25s. Rams from celebrated flocks were sold at 8 to 10 and 15 guineas each. In the horse market the best description of horses sold quickly ; cart colts fetched from 24 to 36 guineas, and young seasoned cart horses, adapted for London purposes, realised 35 to 45 guineas; and well matched teams ( three horses) realised 150 to 170 guineas; Irish colts, 18 to 25 guineas. From this class of cattle some well made animals, suitable for pair harness were selected, at 40 to 45 guineas each; Welsh ponies, £ 10 to £ 15; useful nags and roadsters, 14 to 24 guineas. There was a glut of old horses which could not find bayers. One other of the cele- brities of this fair, viz, its great supply of roast pork and geese, was fully sustained, the victualling booths having made ample provision in these " essentials," and the savoury odour acting on a keen appetite, drew together a large number of the fair folks to this scene of operation. ! [ FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— On Saturday week Cathe « rine Atkinson, of Regent- road, Salford, arrived by train at the Ordeal- lane station, and stepping out of the carriage before the train had stopped she was thrown down, and sustained a com- pound fracture of the leg and foet. She was conveyed to the Royal Infirmary, where sne died soon after her admission. L'Emperatrice Mr Ewing's bk d Jardine's Mixture, by Mathematics out of Mimosa, beat Mr Gordon's r b Golden Drop, by Tantallon out of Gold Dust Zig Zag beat Evil Genius Sunbeam beat Ruby The coursing campaign opened with this meeting on Tuesday last. Monday evening found a pleasant party assembled in Mr Hunter's comfortable coursing quarters, at Abington, for the draw and dinner. There is something more than usually en- livening at the first gathering for the season, ere disappoint- ments have been sustained, or victories achieved. Besides, there was a novelty in the organisation of the club, and the efforts of its committee. Among the details of their arrange- ments, it is noticeable that as many as eleven dogs receive money. The attendance upon the field was decidedly above the average, among whom we observed Mr and Misses Borron, Messrs A. Graham, West, Ewing, Irving, Captain Spencer, Mr and Miss fsmith, Messrs Jardine, Hyslup, Gillespie, Swann Hyslop, Dean, Steel, Armistead, Campbell sen and iun Croft Duncan sen and jun, Stein, P. Graham, M'Jfaughton, W Wil- son, & c, & c. Mr Gordon, the only member of committee absent, was, we were sorry to learn, prevented by a family bereavement from being present. On Tuesday we met at Blackhill, and coursed that and Ne- therton Hill, and during the day had 36 courses, being disap- pointed to find the hares scarce, particularly on the latter ground. Bit of Heather and Evil Genius : The hare ran cir- cuitously towards a gate, Bit of Heather leading on the inside until withm 50 yards of the gate, when Evil Genius passed and slightly outpaced her in a moderate course, finishing with a nice kill. Gazelle the Fourth and Zigzag : The latter leading when they came in my sight at the bottom of the hill, where they ex- changed a few points in favour of Zigzag. Here Caratonga slipped her head and joined the course, the hare leading them a dance of above a mile. Hippogriff outpaced aud outworked Thirty- six, who ran as badly as the former ran well. La Vivan- diere and Greased Cartridge : A well- contested course ; a nice struggle in the run up in favour of the former, but the hare shifting herself gave Greased Cartridge first turn ; La Yivan- diere got in; and made the next two or three points very prettily, but Greased Cartridge took the next two and killed. Wiidflower and Dangerous had a short no- go, the latter getting the first turn and the other killing. In their next attempt Dangerous got off badly from the slips, but showed the pace. The hare sud- denly benamg round a hillock, Dangerous became unsighted, and Wiidflower racing on wrenched and killed. Soft Sawder led Ala- baster, but got unsighted for an instant among the rushes. On reappearing, [ Soft Sawder took the hare to himself, knocked her about six or seven times, and killed, running fast and cle- verly. Elmore and Spunkie: An unsatisfactory trial. Spunkie led, but the hare shifting at a knoll, gave Elmore first turn, who won with little merit. Bit of Eiband and Grisette: After a short no- go, Grisette had a shade the best of the pace, but the hare bending Blightly from her, Bit of Riband shot by, and made a beautiful kill. Carolina Nairn and Belgravian also had a short no- go, and in their next slip a longish run- up was won by Caro- lina, who turned to Belgravian; he trying fer the next, was passed by the bitch, who killed. Destruction and Benbenne: The former led and turned, making as good as the fecond, and can- noning agamst Ben, who made the next. Destruction then taking the hare, quickly turned her twice, and killed." Da- mascus and Emma had a no- go, in which the hare squatted for a moment , and on rising, Damascus getting first si< rht, fetched the hare ( a bad one) to Emma, and after a short exchange of points with her, killed. In their next Emma took a long lead, and turned^ Damascus, in making the next turn, was collared by Emma, and very cleverly beaten. WarOffice and Anak: Two reported cracks, their respective owners backing each with confidence. They were slipped in roughish bottom, and ran equal for a short dis- tance, and after being momentarily unsighted, War Office got into pussy's track, made a lead of two or three lengths, and picked her up. Glencoin and China: After a scrambling un- - decide the former led to a wall on the road, which both flew, Glencoia making first turn, and as good of the second, when China collared him, and contested the next four or five points very evenly till the hare broke away, Glencoin leading into an old quarry, where he struck at her very wildly, and was after- wards well beaten in a long course. The little bitch's running was much admired. Glozer and Chieftain: After exchanges in the run- up, the former made the first turn very wide, atad out- paced him. Borelo led Delilah and turned thrice, Delilah con- testing the next, which she got; Borelo then raced up, knocked the hare off her legs, and had the rest of a good average ceurse, and killed. Helter Skelter slightly led Do Well and turned, Do Well killing, undecided. They were unsighted shortly after again leaving the slips. Do Well got first sight, a long distance behind the hare, who ran up a road on a hill face, Helter Skelter being fully twenty ? ards fur- ther in the rear. The latter, however, raced by, turned, made as good of the next, Do Well getting the following, and Helter Skelter leading out of sight. Cadogan got no assistance from Grief, running fast and clever. Estelle and Mezereen s The early part of the course out of my sight. When I got sight the bitch was driving her hare, and led over the hill. Captain Cook and Heckler: The former obtained the first turn after a long struggle, the hare bending to Heckler, who turned her twice or thrice, Cook obtaining the next and the kill. Saucy One raced from Caratonga, and turned twice, but in attempting the next came down on her chest. Caratonga put on the steam, and looked for a time like winning, when Saucy One came again with renewed vigour, and gave her opponent no more of a dis- tressing course. Caratonga's accidental slip and severe course, before alluded to, was much against her. Dreghorn Boy out- paced and outworked Dairymaid, running with great fire and speed. Glance, in the absence of Crinoline, ran his bye with Glen- ooin and beat him. Bit of Fancy flew away from Energy, scarcely admitting of any assistance. This beautiful flight of Fancy created no small bit of fancy in her favour. Ellen Crafts led Hilarity, turned, wrenched twice, and killed. Barnes and Tonnerre: Barnes led, turned the hare from his opponent, wrenched, and killed. Jock o' Milk and Tutelina: An unsatisfactory trial, slightly in favour of Jock. Dairyman and Blue Sky ran a short undecide. Bit of Game and Bit of Spirit: A severe trial. They ran even into a quarry. The hare, doubling out for the hill, ob- tained a good lead, and gave them a long stretch on smooth bare lea. Spirit led and turned, when they exchanged one or two points, and led out of my sight. Desperation and Lady Hawthorne ran a short, scrambling " no go" between two sheep drains, which brought the day's sport to a close. On Wednesday we took to Sir Edward Colebrooke's grounds, at Crawfordjohn, and found the hares plentiful and stronger, and the ground more adapted for good trials. Weather gloomy, with occasional showers in the afternoon. Dairyman and Blue Sky were slipped for their second trial. The latter led, turned, wrenched, and followed up by another turn into her opponent, who killed. Desperation and Lady Hawthorne : At the brow of a hill, out of my sight. Claude du Val and Somerled slipped down a steep hill. The latter overshot himself and severely injured his leg, Claude making the first turn, Somerled the se « cond; after which Claude, racing by him, turned and wrenched. In the next stretch Somerled obtained and led out of my sight. Sweethope outpaced and outworked Topaz. Condolorado and Bell's Life: An unsatisfactory trial, the hare making for a close gate, which they both bungled at. Condolorado, in his second attempt, cleared it, but Bell's Life having entangled herself preferred to fly the wall, aud joined for a point or two, but was . cleverly beaten. Cromarty and Black Game: After a short nc go the former led from the slips, but was passed by Blackgame, who obtained first turn fully half a length in advance, ana cleverly won a merry course, finishing with a beautiful kill. Gossamer led Ellington, and beat him in a good trial. Sergeant Shee outpaced and outworked Hopeful. Gainsayer and Bold Dragoon : The latter led two or three lengths, and fell on his chest on reaching his hare, Gainsayer then knocked his hare about seven or eight times in succession, when the other quickly put in a few points, and was interrupted by a loose dog joining the course, and terminating it in a most unsatisfactory manner. Sarawak and Gnat: A good trial, cleverly won by the former. Sweeper led Firefly to a stone wall, which he flew, Firefly stick- ing in the pen, turning twice, and killing there, just as Firefly reached him, and a fresh hare having started they ran it, Sweeper with his in his mouth, Firefly killing, and imme- diately doing the same by a third, which rose. Early Choice and Glenarvon : Out of my sight. Ben Voirlich led Knight of the Shire in a most beautiful trial, winning cleverly. Jardine's Mixture, favoured from the slips, made first turn of Golden Drop, who shot up and tripped the hare, Mixture killing.— Second ties: Zigzag slightly led Evil Genius, and turned, as good ef the second, Evil Genius scoring the next into a sheep- drain, where he killed. Hippogriff led and easily beat Greased Car- tridge, and Soft Sawder easily disposed of Wild Flower. Elmore and Bit of Riband, after an undecide, had a severe course, at all times in favour of the latter, who ran with undiminished speed throughout. Carolina Nairn and Destruction: The latter got the advantage from the slips, and maintained it through- out a nice trial. War Office cleverly beat Emma in a longish trial. China beat Glozer, who was unlucky, after a hide- and- seek no- go in rushy ground. Borelo and Helter Skelter: The former ran up his hare. Cadogan and Estelle: A short trial, all one way. Saucy One, after a punishing no- go out of the judge's sight, led Captain Cook, and beat him throughout a nice trial. Dreghorn Boy and Glance: A no- go. The latter unsighted, the former getting his hare and running her a long ceurse single- handed. In their second attempt, a long trial, the Boy was led to his hare, and very cleverly beaten. After the second turn, while pressing his hare by the side of a gravel pit, he fell into it a purler. Bit of Fancy led Ellen Crafts and cleverly beat her in a short trial. BarHes easily disposed of Jock o'Milk, as did Blue Sky of Lady Hawthorne. Bit of Spirit being drawn, Claude Duval ran a bye with Tonnerre, and beat him. Condolorado very easily beat Sweet Hope to admiration Black Game and Gossamer had an unsatisfactory trial. Gain sayer and Sergeant Shee: A long course, at all times in favour of the former. Sarawak got little assistance from Early Choice Sweeper and Ben Voirlich: Short and decisive; Sweeper slightly led, pressing Ben aside, who allowed him to pass; shot by him and turned, the latter making the next, Ben finishing with a pretty kill. Jardine's Mixture ran his bye with Ellen Crafts, and had the first part and Ellen the last of a nice course. CALEDONIA. GREYHOUND PRODUCE.

DEAR BELL : This crack little pack have changed hands since last season, and are now the property of our respected friend, Wm. H. Nicholson, Esq, of Rochester, who has taken the mas- tership of the hunt. On Thursday last we had ( for the time of' year) an extraordinary good run. Taking advantage of the early morn, the hounds were at Stoke by eight o'clock, and found puss in a marsh near Grainbridge; from this she made a line towards Binny, where, being headed by a sheepdog, bore in the direction of a reed bed adjoining the north level, quietly reposing there for a few minutes; but soon had to quit quartets again, and, crossing the high road to a ploughed field, gave the hounds some work, but they did it well, and, after some slowhunting, reached the sea- wall that bounded the land, and on to the salt marshes near the Medway; but pussy, finding the travelling here any- thing but light, amid mud and water, made a semicircular turn of about a mile, and landed again on solid ground near Stoke Creek. The hounds were now well at her. Leaving the vicarage to the right, we soon made Malmaynes Hall, through the shrub- bery, to the valley below, skirting Bell Wood, to Hopper's Corner. Here we had to contend with the dry roads, for she had threaded them some distance; but not a hound s head was up, and the difficulty was soon over, when we were full cry again by Spong's Farm, dipping the hill in the direction of Coombe, from thence passing lowlands to a field of wurzel bordering on the Thames. Here I thought she must have died, but she doubled back and doubled the hounds and us by running into a mill, under a roadway, where we left her, hoping to have the pleasure of meeting on some future occasion, altera run of near seven miles with scarcely a check. Too much praise cannot be given to the late master, J. H. Comport, Esq, for the efficiency he has brought these hounds to, and those in the country are fortunate in findiag another gentleman to keep them who seems deter- mined to do the thing first- rate.— Yours, & c, Rochester Sept 30,1867. A LOVSB OS SPOBX, BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 11, 1857. CRICKETERS' REGISTER. ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v TWENTY- TWO OF NORTH SHIELDS AND DISTRICT. On Thursday, the 24th of September, and two following days} the Eleven of England visited Shields for the first time, to contend against Twenty- two of the district. The promoters of the match, with the assistance of Hodgson, Atkinson, and several others from the Bradford district had collected a very good team. The ground is a very good one, the turf excellent, and if attended to at the spring of the year might rank amongst the best in England. The Eleven won the toss, and in their first innings made 97 runs. Davis played a very good innings, making some good hits ; his figures were tws threes, two twos, and singles. Anderson's 17 consisted of three twos and eleven singles. _ Wul- sher brought out his bat for 23 by five twos and thirteen singles. Clarke made a good leg- hit for two, and off hit for three, and four singles. Martingell made oue two and three singles, ihe total was 97. Three wickets of the Twenty- two had fallen when time was called on Friday. The whole of the lot fell for 49 runs. Scaife made two twos and three singles. Wadsworth s was a good 14. The bowling of Willsher, Jackson, and Martingell was eood, and Stephenson's wicket keeping was perfect. _ At about a quarter to four the Eleven commenced their second innings, and at half- past five ( time) nine wickets had fallen for 82 runs, Atkinson and Hodgson doing the mischief for the Twenty- two. H. Stephenson was prevented by illness from playing this innings, consequently the Twenty- two had on Saturday to rub off a score of 81 to win, but when the last wicket fell had only made 50 of them, leaving the Eleven victorious by 30 runs. A dinner in the evening was given to the Eleven at the Albion Hotel, at which about 60 sat down, presided over by G. Kewnay, Esq. Score: ALL ENGLAND. lst inn 2d inn E. Stephenson, c J.

This match was played at Richmond, on Monday, the 28th of September, and two following days, and being the first en- counter with the Eleven, great interest was manifested by the inhabitants. The ground is rather small, but good, the wiokets especially. The toss having been won by the Eleven, they sent E. Stephenson and Hayward to the wickets, and Iddison and Swaine ( the engaged bowler feere) handling the ball, 1 § . F » QS were made, when Stephenson pulled an off ball on to his wicket. Hayward, who played a good innings of 19, was leg before wicket; two wickets 27 runs. Davis scored a capital 25 by a good leg- hit out of the ground, and some very fine off hits. Cfesar sent a ball out of the ground to the leg for four, a drive for three, and was caught in slips. Wiilsher was well caught at long leg by Swaine. Mr Downes played well for his 10, making a good drive and leg- hit. H. Parr, Mr Hirst, and Martiagell did not trouble the scorers. Jackson was caught for a gcod seven, An- derson bringing out his bat for 30, including some very good play, couoled with a little luck. The total amounted to 104 runs. The Twenty- two commenced their innings, and when time was called four were victims to Willsher for four runs. On Tuesday the weather was again fine, and the attendance of spectators was very great. The play commenced early. Park kept up his wicket a long time, and saw several of his partners disposed of; his 11 were well made, against the fine bowling of Willsher and the others. Mr Clifford made twos and a three, and was bowled by Martia- gfll, who was well to the mark, Mr J, Robinson and Braith- waite puzzled the Eleven a long time, both playing remarkably steady and well; the former's 11 consisted of two twos and same singles, Braithwaite's 12 were one three, one two, seven singles. Capt Coates made a fine on drive out of the ground for four and two twos ; the innings amounted to 71. being 33 runs short of their opponents. Altogether the Twenty- two showed good play, and we have no doubt will rapidly improve. The seoond innings of the Eleven commenced by E. Stephenson and Davis going in, Atkinson and Addison bowling ; the two batters, and also Hayward, were all caught by Joy at point, Willsher aud Anderson kept together about one hour and a half until time was called, the former not out 17, Anderson not out 20; total 47 for three wickets down. On Wednesday the play was re- sumed at eleven o'clock, Anderson added a single to his previous score, and was bowled by Joy ; Willsher was bowled by Swan for a total of 19, Eason and Martingell kept their wickets a long time but did not score fast, the bowling being very good. The total amounted to 88, leaviBg Richmond 119. to make to win.; the Eleven having to leave early to proceed to Glasgow the game was drawn. 12 of the Twenty- two fell for 43, Hornby making a very good innings of 20.

SEPT 28.— The same credit belongs to Major Dickins for getting up this contest as that above awarded in the repart ef the Edinburgh match; infaet, through this gentleman's exertions th'j little town of Kelso will probably ere long send forth some first- class cricketers. The club also reeeives the liberal support of Lord John Scott, who was present during the match. When England before made their appearance at Kelso, in 1852, under the late veteran Clarke's management, the contest was fought on the race course, in front of the Grand Stand, but now a piece of ground has been laid down, which, although public, will make one of the finest grounds iu Scotland. The wickets were got into splendid condition, and hence good criGket was the result. The Eleven won the toss, and of course availed themselves of the best ground. The same professionals, Tinley, Sewell jun, Franois, and Brampton, were opposed to them. Sewell and Brampton, as at Edinburgh, started bowling, Grundy and Lockyer first making their appearance. Sewell disposed of both of them. Caffyu and Lilly white then got in, and secured a footing, so that changes were obliged to be made. Lilly, having contributed 15, was got rid of by a piece of luck, the ball hitting Mr Lookhart's legs and returning to the stumps, while Lilly white was off his ground. Caffyn, who gave a chance on first coming in— a difficult one— played a magnificent innings of 37, among whioh were some splendid cuts. The fielding was bad, although we were informed that in that department the Kelso cricketers particularly excel; but, no doubt, from the faet of this being so great an event they were a little nervous. Mr Lockhart was very busy behind, and re- minded one of Lockyer when one wicket has to fall and two runs to get. Sewell bowled admirably, and we feel assured that if the County of Surrey knew his merits, the Eleven would not be filled up without him. Ellis put together a fiuky 19, but he received a severe blow, which was the cause of his thus " lambing," which, however, he is particularly fond of. Altogether the total amounted to 112. The Kelso players managed 72, the Haiu? aiwi Sawni'i ngne the uiilv douM? flgur? gs The former was bowled off his legs, and the latter was caught mld- on, both playing admirably. Caffyn was not quite so well on the spot, but Wisden was mettled; we never saw him bowl better than he did both throughout this and the match at Edinburgh. In the second innings of the Eleven Grundy went in first and re- mained until fee had accomplished 21, when a run out oc- curred . The bowling, both of Sewell and Brampton during this period, was very straight. Lillywhite and Wisden, however, caused Francis to be tried at'Brampton'a end, Tinley at Sewell s. The change made by the Major had its desired effect. It was not, too, that a change alone was requisite, but the manager is much to be oommended for trying a young-' un like'Francis, who is the professional engaged on the ground. He bowled Lilly's off stump, after a masterly display of cricket, in which he scored 16. Mortlock aud Wright were in over night when the stumps were drawn, and on Wednesday they added 8 more to the score, when Wright had to suceumb to Tinley, who bowled excellently, notwithstanding that he had had an awkward blow, while batting, is the mouth. The Twenty- two had HOW a task far too difficult, it was generally thought, to accomplish. They commenced, however, very well, scoring 14 before the two first could be parted, viz, the Rev Mr Bobberds and Mr J. Mather. The former gentleman made two splendid square leg- hits from Caifyn, one for four, and the other for two. Mr Ranken also made the same total of 10, in which was a good drive for four from Wisden. The United proved victorious by 58 runs; and they are very anxious, through our eolumns, to thank Major Dickins and the noblemen and gentlemen of Soot- land for their kindness, and also to express generally their grati- tude for the liberal manner in which they have been met at every place they have this season visited.

PAKE BY THB AH ENGLAND BXEVEN. — On Tuesday evening the All England Eleven met together at the King's Head Hotel, Richmond, to present to Mr G. Parr a handsome gold watch and appendages. Mr G. Anderson was unanimously called to the chair, and, in presenting the watch, bore testimony to the well- deserved esteem and respect enter- tained for the celebrated batsman and secretary by the Eleven, and stated that the gift was entirely from the members of the All England Eleven and a few private friends, for his fine display at Lord's in the two matches against the United Eleven of Eng- land In ooncluaiug he wished Mr Parr long life to enjoy and keep time with the watch. His health was enthusiastically drunk with three times three. In responding, George said he was proud to be in the position he was placed in, and in accept- ing this mark of respect from the Eleven, he never felt more unable to return thanks in an adequate manner; but as long as he was the secretary he hoped to give satisfaction to all parties, and carry on the management with credit to himself and the Eleven. He begged again to return them all his hearty and sincere thanks, and wished them all good health and happiness. The watch is a very beautiful specimen of workmanship, aud manufactured by Mr Webster ( late of Bedale) of London. ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN* GLASGOW ( INCLUDING CAFFYN, AND SEWELL).

SEPT 24.— Owing entirely to the most indefatigable exertions of Major Dickius, coupled with the assistance of Lord Strath more, a cricket week came off in Scotland, which, from the ap- pearance of the company, must have delighted many hundreds. The first contest was at Edinburgh, ® n the Grange Club Ground, which was got into admirable order, although the previous rains made it very dead— a point always much in favour of the Twenty- two. This, however, could not be avoided, aud great credit is due to young Sewell, who has had the manage- ment throughout the season. Major Dickins selected the Twenty- two, which, it will be seen, was very strong. The Major having won the toss, the Twenty- two took the first innings, which was the Thursday's performance, scoring 67, of which H. Francis, the professional engaged at Kelso, and from Cambridge, played a splendid innings of 15, and a like number was scored by Mr Lockhart. It is an honour to Scotland to boast that they have a native the best wicket- keeper in the north of England, which this gentleman most certainly is. Mr Ranken, with more steadiness, which no doubt he will get, will make a good cricketer; his fondness for " hitting," for a young one, is far better than being eramped. Major Dickins put together 5, when he was cleverly stumped by Lockyer. On Friday the Eleven commenced their innings, and were all disposed of for 27 ! This was for want of " timing" the ball, and the least mis- take was of course taken advantage of by the assistance of the extra fields. Mortlock managed a dozen, and made two or three remarkably fine hits. Sewell bowled admirably, but he was ex- ceedingly unfortunate, many catches being missed off him. Major Dickins made two ver/' fine catches, being very high aud straight up— a catch that is always difficult to judge. The fielding of the Twenty- two was only just passable; the Major, Mr Drysdale, and one or two others, however, especially distinguished themselves, as did also Mr Lock- hart, as keeper of the wicket. In the second innings of Scotland Mr Ranken was the only one who made a double figure, when, being too fond of " skying" on the " on" side, he was well caught by Lillywhite. Captain Boothby made a long stand for 6 singles, and Mr Mackenzie also played well for 6, which number Mr Duncan also contributed, realising altogether a total of 57, thus leaving the English 98 to get to win. They commenced very badly. The first and second went for 1, third and fourth for 2. and the fifth wicket for 3 runs! These were Mortlock, Griffith, Lcckyer, Caffyn, and Ellis. Lillywhite and Wisden here came totherescue, and when they had just " collared" the bowling, Wisden received a severe blow in the eye, which compelled him to leave the field until it had been dressed. This was moat unfortunate at a time when the Major was offering " a pound to the bowler for a wicket," Wisden, who had scored but eight singles ( after Grnndy had been disposed of), again made his appearance, but, or course, not with his former confidence, and Tinley, whose fast bowling ought now entirely to extinguish his slows, bowled him. Bell eame and made 10, and it then looked as if victory would be obtained by the Eleven. Brampton, however, got one past him. Eight w'ickets had now been disposed of for 55 runs. Wright hore joined Lillywhite, and another " hold" was effected, so much so that they increased the score to 73, when Wright was most splendidly caught— not at point or mid- wicket, but in between the two. Tinley could only just reach it, and fell in securing it, There is no doubt that the blow of Wisden and b Wisden c Griffith, b Wisden . st Lockyer, b Wisden. c Lockyer. b Wisden . b Wisden hit w, b Wisdeu ..... 7 0 6 . 4 . 1 . 7 .- 71 Minn .. 16 .. 0 Hon Cecil F'ennW, run out...... 15 J.

AN APPEAL TO CRICKETERS, & c. LILLWHITB'S COLLECTION OP SCORES FEOM 1746, is PKE JABATIOS.— The compiler of this projected work would fee particularly obliged if secretaries of clubs or other gentlemen would communicate with him, in order to assist in obtaining nformation relating to the game, such as the " alteration of the aws, and size of stumps, from time to time," & c, & c. The loan of score- books, or notices of any remarkable events that have occurred in the game, will also be thankfully received and imme- diately acknowledged. All communications will receive instant attention, and the compiler trusts that this appeal for the pur> pose of publishing a " complete history" of the noble game will not be in vain. Bell's Life in London, from its first number, as well as the Marjiebone Club books ( by authority of the om mittee), have been carefully searched, and many important and interesting events abstracted : numerous other reprint and manuscript copies have also been examined, which fully prove that many other good matches were played years back, and he hopes the scores of them are still obtainable. Address to Fred. Lillywhite, 2, New Coventry- street, Leicester- square. MITCHAM NBW CLUB V SUTTOX.— This match was played at Mitcham on Friday, Sept 25, and ended in favour of Mitcham This result was owing chiefly to the excellent bowling of Suther- ton and Barter, and to the absence ef five of the Sutton players, whose places had to be supplied from the enemy's country.

Nothing has been agreed upon between Nat Langham and Ben Caunt as to drawing their money or fighting again. We have seen both men. Ben Caunt talks of drawing, and making a fresh match for £ 500 a side if Nat will oonsent to a modification of articles, so as to ensure a stand up fight. Caunt says that there is no longer any enmity or ill feeling between himself and Nat, but still he would like to try en fair ground which is really the better man. Nat also disclaims any enmity, aud we have but little doubt we shall hear before very long that the men and their friends have met and settled the affair in an amicable man- ner, over a friendly spread. BEN CAUKT, HIS SECONDS AND FRIENDS.— Ben Caunt wishes us to state that, however deficient iu skill or power his seconds were in the late fight, he is satisfied they did their best for his interests. He seems to fear that we questioned their good in- tentions last week, but we beg to assure him and them we in- tended nothing; of the sort; all we wished to specify was, that they were not men enough for the occasion. We are perfectly satisfied the " will" to assist and direct was there, but not the power. Ben will meet a few friends of his own and Jemmy Shaw's at the Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne walk, Chelsea, on Tuesday next; and to- morrow ( Monday) he has promised to take the chair at jefai Hunter's, E^ a Deer, v » uibriagoiiS& ttt, JEM WARD AND THE LATE FIGHT. We have received the following from Jem Ward, which we give without comment :— " Is there no remedy ?"— SHAKSPBIE. Ms EDITOR : lam induced, by the kindly mention of my name in last week's Bell's Life, as the first boxer of the age, to call your attention, and that of your sporting readers, to the startling changes which have within the last few years occurred in the theory and practice of British boxing. I trust you will pardon my remarking that more than one late recent display within " the magic circle" is anything but calculated to restore England's favourite sport to its pristine vigour, and its popularity amongst that portion of our " John Bull" community, who nave ever been the best and stauncliest promoters of manly sports, and who in the hour of danger rallied round the meteor flag of England, and dauntless bade defiance to the world. Picture to yourself, Sir, the amaze- ment of that prince of British boxers, Tom Cribb, if an opponent in contesting with him had put in his one- two, and then dropped at his feet, ere the champion's thundering onslaught, which few even in his day could withstand, had equalised matters between them. My recollections of " Ould Tom'' give me in my mind's eye an idea of the scorn which would have mantled his honest phiz. Let me draw your attention to the dauntless ring career of my lamented friend, the scientific " Tom Spring," than whom a gamer man never took off a shirt, or more strictly adhered to the fair and legitimate rules of English boxing; his opinion " of the dropping system," and the contempt with which he ever spoke of it, is well known to all the old patrons of the P. R. Peace to his memory! In short, Sir, the hanky- panky now so much in vogne would have made " Cribb and Spring J* almost split their sides with laughter.' Far be it fron. me to depreciate the merits of any " middle weight" in attempting to gaia " the top of the tree." I like to see a small man lick a " big- un" providing it is done in open manly fight, and let me venture to hope, yourself and readers will not think me guilty of egotism, when I remark that from the time I was *' the height of a marlinspike," scientific, boxing acquire- ments were ever my favourite study ; and how successfully my system of tactics worked in the P. R. in by- gone days, is ( to say nothing of my own career), best exemplified in the clever dis plays of " Dick Curtis," " Young Dutch Sam," and that noble boxer and consummate general, " Owen Swift." With these men, Sir, you would see that style of fine fighting, combined with daring pluck and unbending resolution, that makes an all- accomplished pugilist at once the wonder, and the envy of Europe. If I have expressed myself in this com- munication in a manner calculated to wound the feel- ings of any member of " the new school," it will be a source of regret to me— I do not wish to do so. To the best of my knowledge I have not an enemy in the world, and it would pain rme to make one now, when the Ring and I have shaken hands, and bade each other, in all probability, for so many iyears— farewell! but at the sama time I cannot help, through your columns, for the benefit and guidance of the young- uns, writing a few lines on the manly art that has been the anxious study of my life. Let me only further add, that at a moment like the present, when war and its miseries assail ® ur Indian empire, and the tiger- knife- like propensities of our sable foes have carried death and desolation to many an English hearth, and destroyed every approach to fair play, even in their way, the boxers of England should show them and the world an example, and by a series of manly displays make a " bunch of fives," as in days of yore, a nucleus for commanding respect at home and veneration abroad •, but to ensure this we must knock the " tumble down system " once and for ever overboard, clear the decks, and have done with it. Boxing, in its legitimate sense, is very far from being the vulgar art that some people suppose it to be. Very many sneer at it because they have not the brains to understand or learn its matchless beauties, and others, alas! profess to teach it who know little of it practically, and very much less theoretically. I dearly love my old art, Sir, and yet hope to see the belt contested for by a brace of big- uns, on which occasion to hit, to stop, to rally, and to throw, com- bined with other game qualifications, without a moment's flinch- ing will be the order of the day, as it used te be in my time. But let every future candidate for that honour remember that, if his adversary is as big as Goliah, he must beat him on bis legs, he must " best" him without dropping. By following this plan there is no position, however high, to which an all- accomplished, well- conducted boxer may not aspire; the road to fame is open, and, at the ring- side, as well as at the fireside, thrice hearty will his weloome be.— Yours, & c, JEM WARD. King's Arms, Whitechapel- road, Oct 1. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. TOM SAYERS AND BILL BENJAMIN.— The next deposit of £ 28 a side for this match was te have been made at Jemmy Massey's, Crown, Cranbourn- passage, on Wednesday, but that day beingappointed for the General Fast, the deposit must be made on Thursday, at the same house. We trust neither man will fail either to send his money to Jemmy or to us, in proper time. ANOTHER CANDIDATE.— Tom Paddock is slowly but surely recovering from his dangerous illness. He is now at Brighton, but has sent £ 10 to us to make a match with the winner be- tween Tom Sayers and Bill Benjamin for £ 200 a side, to come off in four months after the fight, by which time he hopes to be ouce more able to enter the P. R. He hopes Tom Sayers or Ben- jamin will cover the tenner at once. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. PROPOSED PUGILISTIC BENEFIT.— Ned Adams and Alec Keene, two of the first enrolled members of. the P. B. A., have suggested to us that a benefit should be got up for the purpose of raising a sum of money to be contributed by the pugilists of England towards the relief of the sufferers by the Mutiny in the East. We need scarcely say that we shall be glad to do every- thing in our power to assist in carrying out the praiseworthy recommendations of these once celebrated pugilists, and we shall be glad if all members of the profession willing to assist on the occasion will send their names to us, in order that a good programme may be prepared. BRETTLE AND BOB TRAYERS.— Harry Orme, on the part of Bob Brettle, met Bob Travers on Friday last, and drew articles for a match at lOst 121b for £ 100 a side, to come off on the 12th of January. £ 10 a side had previously been staked in our hands, and it was arranged that the next of £ 10 a side should be made at Harry Orme's, Jane Shore, Shoreditch, on Wednes- day last, but owing to the late hour at which the articles were left at our office this fact could not be announced in our last. The deposit, however, was duly made, and the remaining de- posits are to be made as follows :— £ 10 a side on Thursday next at Nat Langham'sfWednesday being the Fast- day); £ 10 a side at Solid Coates's, Old Crown, Tower- street, Birmingham, on Wednes- day, Oct 21; £ 10 a side at Jemmy Massey's, Crown, Crsmbourne- passage, Nov 4; £ 10 a side at Harry Orme's, Nov 18; £ 10 a side at AlecKeene's, Three Tuns, Moor- street, Soho, Dec 2; £ 10 a side at Bob Brettle's, White Lion, Digbeth, Dec 16; and £ 20 a side at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, Jan 8. The weighing, which was won by Orme for Brettle, is to take place on the morning of fighting, at Harry Orme's, between seven and eight o'clock. To no other terms would the Black agree, so Orme, who had Brettle's instructions not to let Bob creep out, at once consented. Travers originally challenged Brettle for £ 100 or £ 200 a side, and it was for the larger sum Brettle consented to make the match, but again finding his opponent uawilling to close with this offer, at the last moment he once more gave way. As to weighing on the morning, we agree withBrettle that it is an inconvenient arrangement, seeing that the days will be so short as to render it difficult, under any circumstances, to bring a fight to a conclusion. Would it not be better, as Travers is afraid of Brettle getting on weight after scaling, if the men went to scale the last thing at night ? MILLARD AND CRTTTCHLEY.— These men drew articles on Fri- day last to fight on the 13th of January, in the London district, at 9st 8lb, for £ 50 a side. £ 5 a side were staked in our hands, and the next deposit was appointed for Tuesday last, at Sam Millard's, Globe, Brick- lane, Spitalfields. Brettle sent the mo- ney to Harry Orme, who, however, did not send it to Millard's, but brought it to us, relying on an agreement which had been made at our office iu our presence betweenBob Brettle, for Crutch- ley, and Sam Millard for himself, that as long as each man's money was staked in our hands in time to be acknowledged in Bell's Life, it would be sufficient. Millard, however, now claims forfeit, as the money was not strictly, according to articles, de- posited with him. This claim we shall not allow. The agree- ment between him and Brettle was a plain and straightforward one, and the fact of Brettle having sent up his money proves that his man meant business. We thought better things of Mil- lard, and gave him credit for possessing more sportsmanlike feeling. He must bring us the £ 5, and also must make good the next deposit of £ 5 a side at Harry Orme's, Jane Snore, Shoreditch, on Tuesday next. Bos TYLER AND BROWN.— The final deposit of £ 5 a side for this match was to have been made on Wednesday at Mr Jones's, Harry Brunt oa's, George and Dragou, Beech- street, Barbican the day before fighting, HALEY AND VICKERY.— On Tuesday Young Haley and Vickery met at Mr Duffy's, Paviors' Arms, Gray's Inn- lane, anS drew articles to fight for £ 10 a side, on the 3d of November, at catch weight. The next deposit of £ 1 a side is to be staked at Mr Heath's, Three Crowns, Queen's- road, Chelsea, on Tuesday next. GIBBS AND CLAMP.— A match has been made between George Clamp and Harry Gibbs, to fight on the 20th instant, for & side, in the same riag with Maee and Madden ; £ 5 a side is in our hands. The next deposit of £ 2 10s a side is to be made at Mr Wieks's, Physicians' Arms, Warwick- lane, on Thursday next. TOM DILLON AND WRIGHT OP NORWICH.— The seoond de- posit of £ 115s a side was made good at Mr Murphy's, the Arti- choke, White Hart- street, Drury- lane, on Tuesday last. The next, £ 2 a side, is to be made at Alf Walker's, George the Fourth, New- street, Cloth Fair, on Tuesday evening. TWKDDLB AND NORTHUMBERLAND BILL. — These men have signed articles to fight on the 15th of December, in the London district, Bill staking £ 50 to £ 40. £ 10 a side are down ; the next deposit of £ 10 a side is to be sent next week. Cloggy Dignell and Skinner of Marylebone are matched for £ 5 a side. £ 1 a side is staked with Harry Phelps, of the Brighton Arms, Union- street, St Marylebone, where they meet to night ( Saturday) to draw up articles. GEORGE GILES AND CHARLES SPILBTJRY.— The match be- tween these men is going on; a further deposit for the same must be made to the stakeholder, Mr Watson, Bell Inn, Dale End, Birmingham, to- morrow ( Monday). PRICE AND MALPAS.— These men have mutually agreed to draw. Prioe's money shall be sent to him at Mr Holden's, Admiral Vernon, Wolverhampton, and Malpas's to Mr H, Han* cox, Victoria Arms, High- street, Dudley. BICK AND DAVIS.— We have received another deposit of £ 1 a side for this match. The next of £ 1 a side must be forwarded before Friday next. It is to be posted at . MrProbert's, Suffolk Arms, Gloucester, on Tuesday. FINIGHTY AND LYNCH.— We have received another deposit of £ 2 a side for this mateh. The next must be sent to us on or before Friday next. MACE AND MADDEN.— The final deposit between these men is to be made at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle street, Leioester- sqnare, on Thursday week. CLARK AND KIN © .— These men have forwarded another de- posit of £ 3 to £ 210s. The next is to be posted at Nsbby Clarke's, Spitalfields, Liverpool, on Tuesday next. J. Conneely and S. Cotter ( both of Birmingham) are matched to fight at catch weight, for £ 10 a side, to oome off on Tuesday, the 26th of October. M. Hopkins and J. Faulkner are matched to fight at catch weight, for £ 10 a side, to come off on Monday, the 12th of Oct, within fifty miles of Birmingham. CHARLEBWOBTH AND SPEIGHT.— We repeat that it is out of our power to decide this matter. The men must arrange their own quarrel. Mickey Bent has a Novice who will fight Lang of Leicester 9st 21b, for either £ 15 or £ 25, or any other lad in England 8st 10lb, who has never fought in a prize ring, for the same sums. A letter sent to James Ludlam's, Nag's Head and Star, Oxford- street, Leicester, will have immediate attention. Mickey Bent and his Novice will be at the Nag's Head and Star, Leicester, to meet Lang to make an arrangement with him, en. Wednesday evening next. Mr Bradshaw's potboy, hearing that Tightning Iron is anxious to fight him, he can bo accommodated at 8st 31b or 8st 41b, for £ 5 or £ 10 ; or the Darkey can be accommodated on the same terms. Money ready this ( Saturday) evening, at Fred Dicken- son's sparring room, the Cremorne Arms, Gloucester- street, Oakley- street, Waterlso- road. INGRAM AND ROBINSON.— David Ingram has sent £ 5 to make a match with Robinson at 8st 81b, for £ 25 a side. What is the use of Ingram making the stipulation as to weight, when he knows Robinson cannot fight so low ? Robinson will fight him at 8st 101b, for £ 25 or £ 50, but will give no expenses to fight in London. Bill Gillam of Brighton will fight Young Hawkes at 8st 6lb as soon as he leaves the Melampus, where he will be for a month. The match to be for £ 25 a side, between home and home. Gillam's money is always ready at Tom Moore's, Union Inn, Brighton. BRETTLE AND WALKEB.— Bob Brettle has staked £ 5 in our hands, according to Johnny Walker's request, and will fight him in two months after his fight with Travers, for £ 200 a side. He hopes Walker will cover the fiver, either maa failing to go on shall forfeit the £ S. Thos. Laws of Notting Dale bas! deposited £ 10 in our hands to make a match with Collins of Paddiagton at catch weight, for £ 20 or £ 30 a side. If Collins covers the £ 10, and sends articles to Laws, at the Jolly Brickmakers, Notting Dale, a match will be made. HBNDLEY AND EvANS.— In this mateh Evans has forfeited, and Mr Booth wishes to match Bull ( his novice) to fight Morris Roberts's Black, for £ 15 or £ 25 a side, at lOst. For this pur- pose he has left £ 2 in our hands. The Black can send articles to Mr Booth, Grapes, Friar- street, Blackfriars. Thomas Price of Bilston will fight Pssh Price of Birmingham at lOst for £ 25, or he will fight Fleet of Dudley Port and let him be lOst 41b and Price confine himself to lOst, or any other man in Birmingham at lOst, for £ 25 a side.

Members who may desire to be present at the club dinner, at six o'clock, must eater their names before two p. m. on Thursday. A large attendance is expected, inasmuch as there are no fewer than thirty- eight candidates on the list to be balloted for. LONDON MODEL YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting will be held at Anderton's Hotel, Pleet- street, at lialf- past seven o'clock on Tuesday, October 6th, when the chair will be taken and business commenced at eight o'clock precisely. The officers ( and others who reside at a very considerable distance from the club room) hope their brother members will remember the request for an early attendance. The maximum tonnage is now raised to 10 tons. CLYDE MODEL YACHT CLUB. The CHALLENGE CUP of this club, value 50 guineas, was sailed for, at Dunoon, on Friday, Sept 25th. There was a good stiff breeze from the south, . and the course was fixed from Dunoon round the Mavis buoy, in Weaiyss Bay, from thence round the Shoals buoy and back to Dunoon. The duties of commodore were most efficiently discharged by Thomas Steven, Bsq, in the absence of the Commodore. The following boats were entered : YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWHBU. BELLA 8.. R. W alker I AHMAD A 74.. J. Dickie MAUD 8.. A. Kennedy | FAIBY QUEEN. .8 .. Jas. Grant, jun At 12: 15 a very good start was effected, the Armada leading, which she continued to maintain till off Ardgowan, when her weather shrouds gave way, which threw her out, and gave the lead to the Fairy Queen. The Armada got her rigging repaired and kept on ; but her rigging having again given way, she hauled down her distinguishing flag and gave up. The Fairy Queen had, by this time, distanced both the Bella and the Maud, and gradu- ally increased the distance, coming in an easy winner. They were timed as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. s. FAIRY QUEEN 3 58 211 MAUD 4 40 7 The Bella came in a short time before the Maud, but did not pass betwixt the Commodore and the flag- boat, and consequently was not timed. The members were to have met in the Holy Looh on Satur- day to take a cruise in company, but on account of the un- favourable state of the weather the meeting did not take place. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION LIST. Ta- morrow ( Monday) evening, the members of this club will resume their meetings at the Freemasons' Tavern, where they will continue to be held throughout the winter season. Business of considerable importance being on this occasion to b8 brought forward, it is hoped that the meeting will be numerously at- tended. Dinner will be on table at six o'clock. THE WRECK REGISTER AND CHART FOR 1856. We extract the following synopsis of the wrecks and casualties which have taken place during the past year on the coasts and in the seas of the British Isles, from thq Life- boat Journal. The Register has been presented to Parliament by the Board of Trade, and a more complete and interesting document has never been published :— In the year 1850 the first Wreck Register in this country was published. It was compiled, we believe, at the suggestion of -"€ « ptain Washington, R. N., the present Hydrographer of the Admiralty. The startling facts which the Register has in each successive year since disclosed, have awakeued general attention, have several times been discussed in both Houses of Parliament, and have resulted in the establishment on our coasts of a sys- tem of life- boats for the preservation of the lives of unfortunate shipwrecked individuals, that has never had a parallel in this or in any other country. In this philanthropic work, in which the Royal National Life- boat Institution has taken so prominent a part, much remains still to be done; and if we expound correctly the views of the Committee of Management of that Institution, we believe that it is their fixed determination, if aided by the support of the public, to leave no exposed point on our danger- ous coast unprovided with an efficient life- boat establishment. The following list gives some details of the work of destruction during the past five years:— Colli- Total Lives Wrecks and Wrecks, sions. Total. Lost. Casualties in 1852 .... 958 .... 57 .... 1,015 .... 820 1853 .... 759 .... 73.... 832.... 989 „ 1354 .... 823 .... 94.... 987.... 4,549 „ 1855 .... 894 .... 247 .... 1,141 .... 469 „ 1S56 .... 837 .... 316 .... 1,153 .... 521 Total 4,341 .... 787 .... 5,123 .... 4,348 Who can contemplate these lamentable details without seeing the great necessity for continued exertion and precautionary measures in respect to the preservation of life and property ? The same, too, must ba pursued with untiring energy, until the average loss of life and property is reduced to the minimum attainable by human skill. The number of casualties in each month of 1856 are thus given in the Register for that year :— January, 149 ; February, 154 ; March, 96; April, 74; May, 57; June, 32 ; July, 48 ; August, 51; September, 98; October, 99; November, 129; December, 166— total, 1,153, representing 229,936 tons, and employing 10,014 hands, of whom 521 perished. These disasters are sgain thus classified :— Sailing- ships over sea, 546; coasting- ships, not colliers, 432 ; colliers, 139; steam- ships, 34. Those vessels are again classified so as to distinguish their cargoes, that is— In ballast, not colliers, 108 ; coal laden, 314 ; colliers in ballast, 79 ; cotton, 12; fishing smacks, 10 ; fish or oil, 19 ; grain and provisions, 115 ; general cargo, 139 ; iron and other ores, 83 ; manure and kelp, 26; passengers, 11; potatoes or fruit, 15 ; salt, 40; sugar, coffee, spices, tea, molasses, 19 ; stone, slate, lime, or bricks, 46. We arrive at the conclusion from these facts that our coasting trade, and our coal trade in particular, is the most dangerous, and yields one- third of the whole losses or collisions. Indeed, it is useless to disguise the fact, that some of our coasting vessels are a disgrace to us as a nation. Only a few months ago a small schooner from Sandwich, while riding off Bridlington, was so rotten that her anchor pulled out her bows, causing her, of course, instantly to sink, and her unfortunate crew of four hands to perish. And again, on the 8th May last, a small schooner known to be uraseaworthy ( as we are informed), went to pieces off Aberdovey, on the coast of Wales, before there was time for any aid to reach the crew. May we not presume that rigid in- quiry . would discover many other similar cases amongst the numerous details in the Register; even in addition to the large number stated to have been abandoned or to have foundered from unseaworthiness? Surely a remedy might be found for such a disgraceful state of things. An analysis of the tonnage of the wrecks on our shores during the past year further tends to prove our statement. It is as follows :— Vessels. Vessels under 50 Tons . 145 51 and under 100 338 101 „ 300 472 301 „ 600 137 601 „ 900 „ 34 901 „ 1,200 15 1,200 and upwards 12 The exact site of each disaster is given in the Register; and to prevent the possibility of error on this point, the Wreck Chart which accompanies it dearly and distinctly points out the locality of the wreck. What a tale of woe and misery this death- chart brings to light! Who can think of it without feeling a desire, by every means iu his power, to lessen the causes of those black dots on it ? The following is the summary :— Vessels. East Coast— Dungeness to Pentland Frith 606 West Coast— Land's End to Greenock 307 South Coast— Laud's End to Dungenes3 119 Irish Coast 155 Scilly Islands 12 Lundy Island 11 Isle of Man 5 Northern Islea, Orkney, & e, & c 38 We believe, that after this additional evidence, a proposition will be submitted to Parliament in the early part of next session, to build a harbour of refuge on the north- east coast of Scotland ; anether on the north- east coast of England; and a third on the west coast of England. The return distinguishes the force of the wind at the time of each disaster, which is instructive so far as it proves that it is not the storm or the hurricane that destroys the largest number of vessels; and that more danger is to be dreaded from the carelessness, neglect, or incompetence of man than from the fury of the elements. TheVollowing table gives a list of the wrecks and casualties, excluding collisions, which have involved total loss, distinguish- ing the cause of loss :— Stress of weather, 148 ; abandoned from unseaworthiness, 17 ; foundered from unseaworthiness, 37; want of lights or buoys on coasts « r sheals, 10 ; mistaking lights or bearings, 10 ; fog or current, S8 ; defective compasses, 5 ; de- fective charts, 3 ; error in course of reckoning, 6 ; error in judg- ment, 12 ; ignorance of coast, 3 ; errors of pilots, 7 ; want of pilot, 3 ; neglect of the lead, 21; want of caution, 11; intem- perance, 2; general negligence, 9 ; missing stays, 10 ; striking on sunken wreck, 1; burned, 4 ; capsized or sunk, 4; cause un- known, 7— total, 368. Thus we find that no less than 220 ships were totally lost or stranded in 1856 from errors, uuseamanship, or drunkenness, or other preventible causes, in addition to those from stress of weather. The lives lost from these disasters is not giveti ; but the widows and the orphans of some of these unfortunate crews in our seaports are too numerous to elude our observation. If one out of every nine ships is lost from inefficiency, whose duty should it be to see that crews are fully equal to their duties ? We have often contended that every English ship, before leaving port, should be submitted to inspection, in order that it might be certified that the ship is fully manned— and that means, both simple and efficacious, exist on board for the safety of the crew and passengers. When considering the above details, is it not a matter for serious reflection that there should have been 17 vessels aban- doned from unseaworthiness, and 37 to have foundered from tbe same cause P Those 54 vessels, lost from unseaworthiness, form 5 per cent of the whole casualties, or 17i per cent of total losses. Whole crews are frequently sent to prison in this enlightened country for refusing to go to sea in unseaworthy ships; and now it is made clear that out of 368 vessels totally lost in 1856, no less than 54 are officially affirmed, on inquiry, to be uuseawortliy. But this is not the whole truth; we must add the vessels im- properly found to that list, and there we see a little more of the mischief:— Totally lost or stranded from defective compasses, 14; ditto from defective charts, 5 ; ditto from Improper stowage of anchor, 1; ditto from combmstion of steam- coal under hatches, want of proper ventilators, 10; dittothrough leakage, 87— total, 111. A ship will leak at sea from straining, but the large number of 87 vessels in one year on our coasts seems too great a per centage for suoh a casualty. A ship sent to sea with defective compasses or charts, aud lost from that cause, ought to be classed under the head of unseaworthy. If all vessels were inspected by competent authorities before sailing, we suspeet that the condemnation of existing vessels and equipment would be wholesale. We judge so from various reasons. Old vessels are made to do duty till they founder at sea. When a vessel is fit for nothing else, she is put in the timber trade, and the fearful accounts we read of water- logged f & L foll6WS as a ne^ q^^ ,, , , , __ We thus, from the preceding consideration of defined causes, can come to no other rational conclusion than that more ships are wrecked from oversight, ignorance, neglect, aud spurious economy, than from the dangers of the sea. Did we require more convincing demonstration of this attestation, we have but to refer to the table which gives the force of the wind, and, as we have before remarked, this is a highly instructive part of the paper before us, thus— Dead calm, 19; light air, aud slight steerage- way, 22; light breezes of 1 to 2 knots, 58; gentle breeze of 3 to 4 knots, 49; moderate breese of 5 to 6 knots, 98; fresh breeze with royals, 154; strong breeze, single reef and top- gallant sails, 140; moderate gale, double reefs and jib, 101; fresh gale, triple reefs, 60, strong gale, close reefs and courses, 184; whole gale, closo- reefed main- topsail and reefed foresail, 147; storm, under storm staysail, 77; hurrioane, bare poles, 44— total, 1,158. This proves our statement, for out of 1,153 ships only 268 were lost in a whole gale, storm, or hur- ricane, and only 121 by the conjoint agency of the two latter. We now approach the most lamentable feature in these returns. Of the number of lives more or less imperilled, we find them set down as 2,764, of whom 521 were drowned. Those saved by the mercy of God and the help of man, were thus rescued:— By life- boats of the Royal National Life- boat Institution, and local bodies, 362 persons; by luggers. Coast Guard boats, small craft, and ships' owu boats, 1,184; by ships and steam- vessels, 407 ; from shore by ropes, rockets, mortar apparatus, & c, 262; and by individual exertion of a meritorious character, 28 persons. These facts clearly illustrate that great exertions are constantly being made by our " life- boat crews, boatmen, and fishermen, on the coast to save life from shipwreck, facts which should call forth the acknowledgments of the community at large, as show- ing most satisfactorily what can be accomplished in this good work by sustained and well- directed efforts. And surely an in- stitution like that of the National Life- boat Society, in addition to having granted rewards for rescuing 473 persons from ship- wrecks, whose life- boats have been the means, during the past twelve months, of snatching 129 of our fellow creatures from a watery grave, has only to make its claims extensively known to be fully appreciated and liberally responded to by the affluent and humane throughout the land. We thus appeal on behalf of the cause of humanity— but we ought not to be required to appeal to shipowners and under writers, to see that their ships are properly manned and fur- nished— for we believe that it is their best interest which is consulted in attending to that manifest duty. PRESERVATION OF LIFE FR0LT SHIPWRECK. On Thursday a meeting of the Royal National Lifeboat Institu- tion was held at its house, John- street, Adelphi, Capt Lambert Perrott in the chair. Mr Lewis, the secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting, a reward of £ 6 was voted to the crew of the lifeboat of the institution stationed at Berwick, which had been instrumental in assisting two herring boats, with a crew of nine men, from a perilous position when overtaken by a heavy north- east gale very early in the morning of the 2d ult; had it not been for the assistance rendered by the lifeboat, both boats and their crews would in all probability have been lost. The silver medal of the institution, and a copy of its vote on vellum, was presented to Capt Tudor, R. N., iu acknowledgment of his gallaut conduct in putting off with others in the Wick lifeboat during a heavy gale of wind, and attempting to rescue the crew of a Hanoverian galliot, which was, on the 9th ult, observed to be in a dangerous position near Wick, and to have her crew in the rigging. The crew of the lifeboat have, we understand, been rewarded elsewhere. Immense seas swept over the vessel from stem to stern; through this tremendous surf the lifeboat with her gallant crew had nearly succeeded in reaching the ship, when a heavy sea separated her from the vessel, driving her up the bay, the billows growing in volume, and rolling into the boat with an almost unprecedented rapidity of succession, breaking all her oars, and drowning one of her noble crew. We fear that none of the crew had life- belts on, and probably the poar fellow who perished, and was afterwards found to have had only one hand, lost his life through the omission. We agaiu repeat that people in charge of lifeboats on the coast inour a fearful respon- sibility if they allow their crews to go afloat in them without each man having a life- belt on. A reward of £ 1 was also given to the master of a barge for his laudabla services in saving three sergeants of the Royal Marine Artillery, who were capsized from a boat near Southsea some time since, when three of their comrades unfortunately perished. A reward of £ 3 was also voted to three pilots, for rescuing, at much risk of life, seventeen persons from a pleasure- boat which was seen in a dangerous position at the mouth of the Severn, in the Bristof Channel, on the 24th ult. A reward of £ 1 was also voted to two Irish fishermen, in consideration of their prompt conduct in putting off in a curragh ( a small canvas boat), and rescuing three men who had been capsized from their boat off Innisturk Island, on the coast of Mayo. A sot of life- belts similar to those in use by the crew of the lifeboats of the society, were ordered to be presented, on behalf of the institution, to the crew of the Margate lifeboats. Miss Burdett Coutts, with her usual liberality, has given the men alifebeat, and the other boat they are themselves about to purchase, aided by the contribu- tions of the public. The officers of the institution had, by invitation, visited the Boulogne Shipwreck Society, and reported that its lifeboats aud life- preserving apparatus were in excellent order, and that they reflected much credit on the committee of management, who consist of French and English gentlemen. It was reported that during the past month the institution had sent two lifeboats to Wicklow aud to Camba, near Rye. During the last few months the society hss founded, at au expense of nearly £ 2,000, fl^ e lifeboat stations on the West and on the South- east Coast of Ireland. The committee earnestly appealed to the public for supsort, to enable them to meet the heavy de- mands made on the funds of the institution. The proceedings then closed. CLIFFORD'S PLAN FOR LOWERING BOATS. The new screw steamer Australasian, recently built on the Clyde for the Australian mail line, went out for a trial trip from Southampton on Monday, September 21, with a large party of scientific gentlemen on board. Among the com- pany were Messrs G. P. Rubie and R. Murray, Surveyors to the Board of Trade; Mr Hughes, from Woolwioh, and Mr Brain, from Portsmouth, Admiralty Surveyors; Cap- tain Ramsay, Admiralty Superintendent of Mail- packets at Southampton ; Lieutenant O'Reilly, deputy ditto ; Mr Lock, Manager of the European and Australian Company ; Mr Marshall, Manager of the Royal Mail Company; Captain Young. R. N.; Dr Beattie and Mr Greenwood, Directors of the Royal Mail Company ; Captain Vincent, the Company's Superintend- ent at Southampton; Mr R, Richie, the Superintending Entci- neer; Mr Notman, Superintending Engineer at St Thomas's; Captain Strutt, the Company's Examiner, 4c. The Australasian steamed out of the docks about 11 o'clock, a large number of spectators having assembled to witness her departure, and proceeded rapidly down the Southampton Water and the Solent to Stoke's Bay, where her speed was tested by the measured mile. She passed Calshot Castle, about seven miles, in a few seconds over half an hour from the time of leaving the docks. At the measured mile four trials were made, with the following results, the first and third mile being with the tide and the other two against: — No 1, in 4min 7sec, equal to 14 575 miles per hour; 44 revolutions. No 2, in 5min 2sec, equal to 11* 921 miles per hour; 45 revolutions. No. 3, iu 4min lasec, equal to 14* 118 miles per hour; 44 revolutions. No 4, iu 4min 52sec, equal to 12' 329 miles per hour; 44 i revolutions. Average speed, 13' 325; miles per hour; ship drawing 21 feet of water, and about 1,200 tons weight on board. The results were considered highly satisfactory, and give good promise of what this noble vessel will be able to do. The weather was beautifully fine, and all on board enjoyed the trip. Four of her six boats are fitted with Clifford's patent lowering apparatus, and during the day trials of the most successful nature were made with the boats, proving the apparatus to be thoroughly adapted to its purpose. The Australasian is commanded by Captain Jaffray Sceales, who is ably supported by Mr Maynard as chief, and a staff of efficient officers. She makes a trip to Alexandria on the 12th October, after which, we believe, she will take the station between Suez and Australia.— The Aberdeen Free Press states that, during the trials of this splendid and commodious steam- ship in the north, the starboard quarter- boat — one of the four fitted with Clifford's gear— was lowered when the steamer was under way, with a full crew in it. A life- buoy having been thrown overboard, the boat was ordered to be manned. In a few seconds the boat was clear of the ship, and in less than sixty seconds the buoy was picked up and the boat making for the ship. The davit- heads are 30 feet from the water, and the experiment was highly successful. There were upwards of sixty visitors on board, amongst whom were Captain Small, Lloyd's Surveyor, the Admiralty Surveyor from London, and many of the principal captains of the port. The company in- cluded many ladies, and all exDressed themselves highly satisfied with the efficient means adopted for saving life, and the superior accommodation of this magnificent vessel. MODEL YACHT SAILING ON THE SERPENTINE.— On Monday last a four- heat match was contested with models on the Serpentine river, Hyde Park, to the gratification of large numbers who came, and usually come together to witness these mimic yachting displays. The weather was not very good, and there was only a Blight breeze from W. S. W., but all the heats were well contested, the prize being a silver cup, got up by a subscription from each owner. Subjoined are the results, one winner being taken out of each heat to contest in the last one :— First heat: 2. Louisa ( cutter), Messrs J. Lockyer, 1; 1. Fenella ( schooner), J. Thomas, 0; 3. Anne ( lugger), G. J. Kerridge, 0. The distance, as our readers probably are aware, is from the south to the north side of the Serpentine and back. The Anne had the lead once over, but losing the wind, the winner passed her, and afterwards the Fenella was beaten for first place by about a dozen yards. Second heat: 1. Lightning ( lugger), Messrs J. Bull, 1; 2. Three Williams ( lugger), Turner and Temple, 0; 3. Extravaganza ( lugger), E. Taylor, 0. The Louisa in the last heat, and Lightning in this, are very small boats compared with the others, notwithstanding which they sailed very well, and each won her heat. This heat was sailed twice, owing to a foul, it being the rule if a foul takes place to resail the heat a second time. It was a capital race. The Three Williams and Lightaing were level on the north shore, the latter having come up with the former half- way over, and ou the return she won by 15 yards. The Extravaganza was c'ose on to the Three Williams. Third heat ( composed of the losers): 1. Anne. l; 3. Extravaganza, 0; 2. Three Williams, 0; 4. Fenella, 0. This heat was resailed, owing to the Three Williams and Extra- vaganza fouling, when the Anne taking the lead, kept it, and won by six yards. The others made a close race all the way. On tbe north shore the Three Williams was just ahead of the Extravaganza, and coming back the latter passed her, and headed her by 20 yards, the Fenella being last. Deciding heat: 2. Anne, 1; 3. Louisa, 2; 1. Lightning, 0. In this heat tbe little ones were not good enough to beat the Anne, who came in an easy winner. They, however, made a good race between them- selves, and the Louisa at the finish headed the Lightning by about a dozen yards. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN LEDGER AND Moss.— A scullers race below bridge came off on Thursday, from Woolwich to Lime- house, for £ 20 a side. The competitors were Richard Moss, of Bermondsey, and Henry Ledger, of Rotherhithe, young mem just out of their time, and whose exploits are principally con- fined to their own neighbourhood. Betting was very quiet, Moss, if anything, being the favourite. The weather was very foggy, audit was thought the race must be put off, but the fog clearing up a little, the Venus, Captain Shaplin, left London Bridge, and arrived at Woolwich with a large number of pas- sengers, where the men were already out rowing. Thomas Can- non having been chosen as umpire for Moss, James Corpe for Ledger, and H. White referee, the men took their stations. On going off Moss took a slight lead, then Ledger came up and passed him, keeping ahead for 100 yards. Moss drew up again, and they were scull and scull to Charlton, where Moss went ahead, but was presently overhauled. In this way, passing and repassing, they rowed half a mile further, when Moss for the last time went ahead, and maintaining his position, won with ease. The winner trained at Davis's Coffee House, Woolwich, under Richard Turner, and was shown up by William Deal. jun. He can have the stakes by calling at our office on Thursday at noon. WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB.— The double scullers raoe between Messrs T. M. Morriss and P. R. Morris ( white) and Messrs E. G. Hartley aud F. E. Needham ( red), members of this club, took place, as announced in our last, on Saturday, the 26th ult, the course being from the Old Bridge, Battersea, to Putney. The competitors were started by Mr George Groves, of this club, 1 and went away well together to Price's Candle Factory, when Red i was two or three times fouled by boats coming down the river; in consequence of which White drew rapidly ahead ; Red, how- ever, soon managed to get clear, and by dint of hard pulling con- siderably lessened the distance between them. White, never- theless, passed first through the bridge, their plucky opponents being not quite a boat's length behind them. THE POUR- OARED RACE between four of the Blackfriars Aquatic Club and four of the Kirby Allianoe Rowing Club came off on Monday last, from Westminster Bridge to Putney, for £ 5 a side, in two of Mr Wyld's new boats. The start was even, but the Blackfriars crew made the rowing at such a pace that on reach- ing the Horseferry they were leading by better thaa a boat's length, and gradually increasing their lead to about three boat's length, till they were through old Battersea Bridge ; here the Kirby crew began to mend their position, and just above the Feathers Tavern they had drawn the nose of their boat up to the stroke of their opponents. The Blackfriars crew were now called upon for a spurt, gradually stole away, and went through Putney Bridge a boat and a half's length ahead of their opponents.

These sports took place on Thursday week, in the presence of upwards of 8,000 persons, of whom ait least one- third were of the fair sex, and amongst the company were many of the aristocracy. The sports were varied, and got off: with the most praiseworthy punctuality.

DOINGS AT HYDE PARK GROUND, SHEFFIELD, AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. MONDAY, SEPT 28.— The weather was all that could be desired, and the attendance of spectators was very good, the number amounting to nearly 2,000. The sports commenced with the GBEAT ALL ENGLAND 606 YARDS HANDICAP RACE.— For this event Mrs Hannah Heathoote, the proprietress of the ground, gave the following prizes, to be run for on Monday and Tuesday last, viz :—£ 20 for the first man, £ 4 for the second, and £ 1 for the third, the distance being onoe round the course and 100 yards ( or 606 yards). The conditions were that those who entered should pay Is each, and an additional 2s to accept. The entry card contained 134 names, and out of that number 53 accepted. The men were divided into seven lots, which were decided as follows :— Lot 1: Walter Oarr ( Doncaster). 58 yards start, l; Joseph Bower, 65,2." Oarr wonthlsh eat cieverlybya yard and a half. Five ran. Time, Imin 12isec.— Lot 2 : William Angus Foster ( Leeds), 20 yards start, 1; John Beaumont ( Peni- stone), 46,2. Six ran. Foster won this heat just at the finish by a foot, but it was patent to all the spectators that Beaumont could have won by at least half a score yards, but this we suppose did not suit his book. Time, lmin 16isec.— Lot 3 : Thomas Hayes ( In- take) 45 yards start, 1; Edward Thorpe 80, 2. Six contested for Oils heat, which'was won after a splendid race by Hayes by a bare foot; Thorpe, who was second, beat the other competitors easy. Time, lmin 13sec.— Lot 4 : Robert Inwood ( Tooting) 50 yards start, 1; William Knight 72,2. For this heat only these two men put in an appearance. Inwood won just a3 he liked by several yards. Time, lmin 28sec.— Lot 5 : William Berrv 65 yards start, 1; William Westerman 63, 2 ; Joseph Horrocks ( Bury) 20, 3. Three othera ran. Berry, who was a great favourite, won this heat in a common canter by half a score yards, Westerman getting second place; Horrocks, who was evidently out of trim, was a bad third. Time, lmin 16sec.— Lot 6 : John Hartlay ( Burnley) 45 yagflfi^ slart, JL; James Curley 68, 2. Six ? SnrTKrTIg7TP3ira'goo< rrace by five yards. Time, lmin 13sec. — Lot 7 : Henry Wilde 70 yards start, 1; Edward Wright 67, 2. Six ran. Wilde won easy by 15 yards. Time, lmin 16sec. TUESDAY.— The weather to- day was again very fine, but, owing no doubt to its being Chesterfield Races, the number of spectators did not number more than 700 to witness the deciding heat. The sports commenced with a RABBIT COUBSING LEGEE, for dogs, not to exceed I7i inches, for which five ran, at 5s each. Mr Smith's Topper won the first prize, 15s ; Mr Hine's Dart getting the second money, 5s,— A 5s leger, for all sizes was also run for by six subscribers. Mr C. Somerset's Lucy won the first money, £ 1; Mr Hine's Dash the second, 10s,— Other coursing took place.—- The ground was now cleared for the DECIDING HEAT.— Shortly after the time appointed, the win- ners of the lots on Monday came on the course to run off for the prizes, with the exception of W. A. Foster of Leeds, who with- drew from the contest. Very little speculation took place. On the signal being given away the lot went, each striving every nerve. Hayes and Bentley at once singled themselves out for a desperate struggle for victory. Shortly after turning the skele- ton tent Hayes took the leading position, closely followed by Carr and Hartley. A short distance from home Carr went in front, and won one of the best contested races ever seen, by about half a yard ; Hayes and Hartley running a dead heat for the second and third prizes. The former was very much dis- tressed at the finish, and was not able to leave the ground for some time after the race. Time, lmin lljsec. The winner was brought out under the care of Ben Badger, the pedestrian, to whom every credit is due for the excellent condition in which he brought his man to the mark.

PIGEON SHOOTING,— The annual opening sweepstakes of £ 1 each will take place at Hyde Park, Sheffield, on Tuesday next, NEAR DOINGS AT COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. MONDAY, SEPT 28.— It is now some time since we have wit nessed anything equal to the anxiety which w: is manifested this af- ternoon by thousandsof persons to enter a pedestrian race ground, large numbers of heavily- laden carts, whitechapels, and other descriptions of vehicles, lining the highway in front of Mr Hayes's hostelry. The tops of the adjacent houses were crowded, and every point from which a view of the course oould be commanded, was thronged by eager spectators. In consequence of there being only one way of ingress, and that an exceedingly narrow one, the place was literally besieged, and there could not have been less than 8,000 persons present at the time fixed for the race between SEVILLE AND HOSSPOOL.— John Seville i3 a native of Oldham, and Thomas Hosspool is a resident of Basford, Nottinghamshire, and both men possessed considerable fame as mile runners. Their contest of to- day was for £ 50 a side, Seville giving Hoss- pool £ 5 for choice of ground, and a share of the gate- money, the distance agreed upon being one mile* or three laps round. For several days previously, the betting had been exceedingly brisk, many gentlemen connected with the Turf investing their money freely as to the result. On Friday last even wager were laid; but at the Post Office Hotel, subsequently £ 100 to £ 80 was betted on Hosspsol, and 3 sovs given to lay a pony. Speculation on the ground justjprior to the start was 5 to 4 on Hosspool, and in some instances wagers were made at 6 to 4 on him. With respect to the ages of the men, there does not appear to be much disparity, Seville, having been born on the 14th of February, 1828, standing 5ft 7in, and. weighing about 9st lllb. Hosspool's height is 5ft 74in, and he weighs 7 « t 121b in racing costume. Mr James Holden of Manchester officiated as referee, and at about five o'clock the competitors entered the course, Seville having been trained by B. Taylor ( alias Rocker) of Fails worth; Hos8pool's preparation had been entrusted to the noted Leggy Greaves of Sheffield: both appeared in excellent condition. All being in readiness, [ at the third attempt Hosspocl jumped off with the lead, but before they had gone 30 yards Seville passed him, being evidently desirous to make strong running. On the completion of the first lap, Seville was about two yards ahead, the pace being excellent; and they ran in this order, without the slightest visible deviation, until the second lap had been traversed. On going along the far side of the course in the final round, Hosspool got a yard nearer to his formi- dable opponent, and thus they raced until arriving within 130 yards of home, where Seville was breasted and p issed in the next, few strides by Hosspool. Notwithstanding that in the re- maining distance Seville used every energy he oould bring to bear, he failed again to get to the freut, and Mr Holden declared Hosspool the winner by f& ur yards. This is the quickest mile race on record, the distanoe having been performed in 4miu 28sec! Baoh man was perfectly exhausted at the finish, and was sup- ported by his friends on leaving the ground. The course was exceedingly well kept, and the whole of the arrangements ( with the exception of the confined passage for admission) reflected credit ou the proprietor ef the ground; but we believe he did not anticipate such an immense number of spectators being present. The stakes shall be sent as directed next Tuesday. HOLDEN AND POMEBET,— John Holden of Over Darwen and John Pomfret of Blackburn aro matched to run 440 yards, for £ 5 a side, at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Manchester, on the 17 th inst. Mr J. Holden has received the full amount of the stakes, and he is to be referee. GBEAT ALL- ENGLAND HANDICAP, distance 400 yards, on Saturday and Monday, October 10 and 12.

This is to be made into £ 5 a side on the 14th, and the re- mainder of the money is to be put down on the day of the race. Mr Hayes is also selected referee. PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. ASTON CBOSS GBOUNDS.— On Monday last there was a large muster here to witness a six score yards match, for £ 5 a side, between Bnsor and Piott ( both of Birmingham). The men had actively trained for the event, and came to scratch ia first- rate condition. Just previous to the start the men bet the gate- money on the result, and the betting, which had commenced at evens, changed to 5 and 6 to4onEnsori at which price a good deal of money was laid out. After a number of attempts the men got away, Piott taking the lead, aud keeping the same for three score yards; Ensor, who had gradually gained ground, now passed him, and a well- contested race home took place, Ensor running in a winner by a yard. NEWBOLD AND DEAKEN.— Soon after the above race, the ground was cleared for a five score yards race between these men, Deaken receiving one yard at the coming- in end, for £ 5 a side ; Newbold was the favourite at 2 to 1 ( he having run third in the late handicap races at these grounds the preceding week). The men got off with a level start, but Newbold very soon took the lead, kept it, and ran in a wiuner by two yards.

LEWIS AND ROBINSON.— This spin of 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, came off on Monday last, at Mr Sadler's, G& rratt- lane, Wands- worth. Lewis had the advantage of being several years younger than his opponent, and this had the effect of causing his friends to be so confident of victory that they at once made him a de- cided favourite in betting, freely laying the odds of 7 to 4, and in some instances 2 to 1. After one false attempt they got well away together, and a capital race ensued. No sooner had they got fairly to their stride than the struggle was commenced at a tremendous pace, the competitors keeping well together until about 60 yards frem home, when Lewis, despite the efforts of his opponent, gradually stole from him, and went in a winner by about three yards. The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office next Thursday, at twelve o'clock. MOOBE AND REED.— The match between these pedestrians to walk six miles and a half, for £ 15 aside, came off on Tuesday ast, on Wandsworth road. Both competitors are well k to j fame, and the match among the respective admirers of the men | produced great excitement, the circulating medium being specu- i Iated to a heavy amount on the result, Moore being the favourite at slight odds. On the signal to start being given they bounded off in good style, the lead, soon after getting away, being taken by Moore, who. maintained the front position until six miles of the distance had been accomplished, when Reed, who had evidently been keeping himself in reserve for the final effort, closed up the gap between them, and ultimately went in an easy winner. Both men, but more particularly the loser, were much distressed. Moore's backers are determined to let their man have another chance of retrieving his lost laurels, and, before leaving the ground, a fresh match was made to walk the same distanoe, Reed staking £ 30 to £ 20, and giving Moore a start of 15 yards. It comes off on the 27th inst. GBEAT MATCH AT NOEWIOH.— J. Thomas ( the Salopian), on Saturday, the 26th ult, commenced, for a bet of £ 50 a side, in the Hop Pole Gardens, to walk 1,000 half miles in 1,000 consecu- tive half hours, aud up to yesterday ( Saturday), at four o'clock, he would have completed 336 half miles. The gardens are within five minutes' walk of the centre of the city, well lighted with gas during the night, and are free to every one. Thomas begs to state he has £ 20 more to back himself with. Any party disputing his abilities can be accommodated, and have Bell's Life stakeholder. Thomas performs his celebrated sword feats on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. MOOBE AND READ.— The match between Moore of Sunder- land and Read of London to walk six and a half miles, for £ 15 a side, came off on Tuesday last at Wandsworth. Moore was the favourite at 6 to 5, and kept the lead for the first six miles, when it became evident that it was all bellows to mend with him; Read, who had purposely reserved his powers for the finale, here got the lead and went in aa easy winner. A fresh match was made on the ground to walk the same distance, Read staking £ 30 to £ 25, and giving Moore a start of 15 yards. It comes off on the 27th of October near London. HOWSE AND RAY.— The ono mile race, for £ 5 a side, between James Howse and Toddy Ray came oft on Tuesday last on Wansted Flats, in presence of a tolerably good muster of spec- tors. On the signal for starting being given away they both dashed at a rattling pace, Howse with a slight lead, which he kept for three quarters of the distance, when Toddy put on the steam, passed bis man, and ran in an easy winner by nearly 10 yards. Time, 5min 15sec. The winner cau have the stakes by calling at our office next Thursday, at twelve o'clock. CLANCY AND LAYCOCK— The walking match of 20 miles, be- tween these men, for £ 15 a side, Layccck getting one miuute start, came off on Monday last, at Grantham Park. It was well contested for the first 10 miles, but Clancy, finding he had no chance of catching his man, gave up in the eleventh. CONCOMB AND WOODS.— The stakes in this long- disputed match should have been transmitted to the respective parties this week, according to the promise made in our last, but we have since received a letter from Concomb, stating that he has never consented to the stakes being drawn, and offering to run Woods again in a month's time. The former letter we received must therefore have been a forgery, and we shall withhold the stakes until we hear further from the real parties. EVANS ASD HABEBFIELD.— We have received Mr Joseph Hodgson's statement relative to this match. If same be correct he was perfectly justified in handing the stakes to Evans. VICTOBIA GROUND, NEWCASTLE- ON- TYNE.— The following men have entered for the 200 Yards Handicap on Saturday and Monday, Oct 10 and 12, and have been handicapped as fellows:— J. Hancock scratch, J.

[ FEOM OUE OWN COSEESPONDElfX.] The alterations which of late have been introduced into the autumn races at " bead- quarters" have quite changed the cha- racter of this meeting, and the substitution of a single day for the two days formerly devoted to racing is an improvement which cannot be too highly commended; moreover, the second autumn r6union is by this means secured, and following imme- diately upon Paris, brings the season to a close at a most season- able time, and upon the most desirable ground— the " royal corn" being as it were delivered at the stable doors. The re- moval of the Osmium— the Great Autumn Handicap- to Paris, as well as the Grand Criterium, for two year olds, was thought would be very injurious to the success of this meeting, but the addition of two new two year old races and the greater interest attached to the Emperor's Prize of this year, from the number of English horses engaged, have more than compensated for the loss; indeed, the " card" presented one of the best day's sport ever seen in Prance, at least of late years; aud as one race ended in a dead heat, no less than eight contests of the most interesting kind were decided. We do not see why so many as four two year old races should have been crowded into this one day. andcertainly think that ihe two poules would be improved by being turned into one; as, where the conditions of two races are nearly similar, they n- eds must injure one another by dividing the numbers at the post for each, as was evidenced by two only sporting silk for the second poule, who might just as well have added to the number and interest of the first. The two year old races are always of great interest, and this season's show must be pro- nounced as exhibiting some very promising youngsters, although at present no one in particular has shown any decided supe- riority. The great race of the meeting, the Emperor's Prize, became more and more the subject of speculation and interest, as Fisherman, Saunterer, and finally Commotion " put in ap- pearance ;" but although all three looked and went as well as could be desired, the confidence of the " home division" was not to be shaken, and the French lot against the English were backed for a pretty good sum, anything over 5 to 4 against Monarque being eagerly taken, whilst 3 to 1 agst Fisherman and 5 to 1 against either Commotion or Sauuterer went begging. Madame de Cbantilly, who was to make running with Moaarque, had several admirers at 10 to 1, aud eventually she was backed at 6 to 1, as was also Duchess. » The arrival upon the course of the well- known English bookmakers was quite an event in this country, and at last somewhat of a " Ring " has been seen upon a French race course. All parties desirous of speculating were immediately accommodated, and as Monarque appeared to be held as much in contempt by the Englishmen as he was held in admiration by the Frenchmen, the " metallics " did not cease to perform until 7 to4 and even2 to 1 ftiight have been obtained about the " crack." The company comprised the whole of the racing world from Paris aud a larger number of general visitors than ever before were assembled at Chantilly in the autumn. The English were represented by several members of the Jockey Club and by the more active members of the King aud owners of the horses at the post, to wit, Messrs Jackson, Barber, Ste- venson, & c, & e, whose business evolutions caused no little astonishment to our Gallic allies, unaccustomed to the eccen- tricities of an English race course, aud deep in the faith that the calme of the Englishman never forsook him under the most trying circumstances. The proceedings of the day commenced with the Premiere Poule, which was carried off very cleverly by Tonnferre des Indes— a very fine aud promising colt by The Baron out uf old Serenade. Gouvieux did not get well off and came - too late to test his true merits, about which we shall know more a little later. The Prix des Haras was a great surprise, testi- fying once more to the " glorious uncertainty" of the sport. Diamant was engaged in tha Emperor's Prize, and getting all the allowances, would have been running at 14lb under Mouarque, and consequently had, or was thought to have, aa immense chance, but from some unexplained reasons he was brought out for this little Government prize, on the argument of " a bird in the hand," & c. Backed against the field, he " cut it" just where it might have been expected, before the end of two miles, which is the very utmost he can get, and at the dis- tance he stuck his toes in the ground, and would have no more of it; Miss Cath then took up the running, but was caught on the post by Seville, and the race was given in a dead heat. In the second heat they laid 2 te 1 on Miss Cath, but her jockey allowed Seville to increase the advantage given her at start to such an extent that she never got up, and was beaten cleverly by a good length. The Premier Criterium for colts showed us Balaguv, a son of Eltliiron, to greater advantage than in the Prix du Premier Pas in the spring, when, being disappointed once or twice, he never got through his horses, and had to suc- cumb to Chevrette. To- day he got a good start, and won easily, but seemed to require a good deal of Wells's assistance to ba kept going. Mons Stickler's crack Martel- en- tfete came, with a great rmh at the end, but too late to make up the ground lost at the start, which was very unsatisfactory— Volante having HOthing to do with the race. The Prix de Sylvie was won in a cauter by Garenne, who was claimed by Mr H. Jennings, when eleven fillies were stripped f jr the Deusieme Criterium, which pro- duced a capital race between the three public performers, who were in front from the start. Goelette " turned the tables " on Kiss me Not by a head, in return for the opposite result at Mou- lins, and Chevrette was only beaten a head from Kiss Me Not. The Prix de l'Empereur now brought out the " great guns," seven stripping for the occasion. No excuse can be made, the trial has come off, and the French horses have been fairly beaten on their own ground. The seven competitors— four French and three English— appeared as well as could be wished, perhaps the English division looked a little stale, and showed the hard work of the season, whilst the French appeared in perfect bloom. There may be found reasonable explanations hereafter, but the money went on to each of the four, and both Etonzi and Mdlle de Chantilly were backed for the Newmarket events before the start for this race; the former at 50 and 40 to 1, and the latter at 30 and 25 to 1. The race may be easily told. Mdlie de Chau- tilly jumped off, and led at a great pace, to the well, when Spreoty looked round for Monarque ( for whom Ashmall was again retained), and for a moment he looked like coming, when a few strides further and the whole of the French horses stopped as if shot, and the three " Englishers" went clear away, and had the finish to themselves, Fisherman winning by three lengths, and Saunterer having a similar advantage over Commotion. The result was like a thunder- clap, and for a few moments the most perfect expression of stupefaction reigned upon all, except the confident supporters of the English horses. The whole system of breeding and training must be looked into, for it is next to in- comprehensible that horses of the same breed as their opponents, with every expense that fortune can provide lavished upon them, should be proved to be so inferior in their staying powers. That they possess nearly the same conformation and speed is evident, as witnessed by Heroine, Trust, Jouvence, Aquila, Baroncino, Monarque, Ronzi, Mdlle de Chantilly, but when they have done pulling they have not an effort in them apparently. Our own opinion is that it is the system and not the animals at fault, and that the race for the Emperor's Prize is calculated to benefit in an extraordinary degree the Turf in France. The winning post on all French race courses a few years ago was the cords, then the last turn; it is now generally the distance. When it shall come to be considered the post before the judge, perhaps the horses will be found able to struggle up to the same as they do in England ; in the meantime, however, they must be considered thoroughly vanquished, and expect to see the English here again next year, in still greater numbers, to repeat their victory, unless some great efforts are made to bring out the stout blood of their ancestors still in their veins. Some discussion took place relative to the weight to be carried by Monarque, the translation of the articles on the English Boeing Calendar clearly requiring him to carry a penalty as win- ner of the Goodwood Cup. The translation from the French was proved to be faulty, as it was especially declared in the original articles that " works of art" wouldnot subject a winner of the same to any penalty. It will be as well that the rules be revised, and perhaps a graduated penalty for winning different sums of money, and certain races in particular, would be pre- ferable to the one penalty for the winner of a sum of £ 600. M Lupin's Bovine beat her solitary opponent for the last race on the card easily enough, when the dead heat was run off, and the company separated, thoroughly satisfied with the charaeter, if not with the result, of the day's racing. The course was in capital order, and the " going" excellent.

The latter was first off, closely followed by Bala- fuy; coming out of the wood Hidalgo was in trouble, and orestier, Traveller, Bescard, and Colax moved to the front, whilst Martel- ea- Ute also came through the ruck. Wells, how- ever, roused Balaguy at the distance, and he cleared the post an easy winner by a length, Martel- en- tfete being a length and a half in advance of Traveller, with whom was close up Boscard ; Colax, Hidalgo, Forestier, Noble, and Phoenix were the next, Volant and Ninico were the last two.

After one false start, Mdlle de Chantilly jumped off with the lead at a good pace, having Fisherman aud Saunterer next, Ronzi, Monarque, Duchess, and Commotion following in the order named. Rising the hill Mdlle de Chantilly increased her lead, and, when fairly round the turn, was about six lengths in advance of Ronzi, who had run into the sccond place, whilst Monarque drew into the third, and Saunterer lay fourth, Fisherman fifth, aud Commotion aud Duchess far in the rear— all the horses running in a line. In front of the Stand, Mdlle de Chantilly had a lead of at least eight lengths, but getting a pull at the turn the pace slackened a l> it until they got round the reservoir turn, where Monarque tried to run up beside Ronzi, and Commotion also drew a little nearer to his horses, but still some distance behind Fisherman and Saunterer, who were lying fourth and fifth behind Rouzi and Monarque. Streaming along the straight on the far side, Mdlle de Chan- tilly still had a lead of about six lengths, but after passing the stable into the dip and up the hill, her lead began to diminish, Ronzi and Monarque raced head and head behind her, and Fisherman drew up beside Sauuterer, whilst Commo- tion and Duchess also improved their positions; neverthe- less the leader came round the last turn with a clear lead of three lengths; at the well she was approached by Monarque, but at that moment Fisherman and Saunterer made their efforts, and the French horses shut up alto- gether, and were passed in succession by Fisherman, Saun- terer, aud Commotion, the old horse shaking off the challenge of Saunterer at the distance, and winning in a canter by three lengths, Commotion, who never got up, finishing as far behind Saunterer. Mdlle de Chantilly ran on to the end, and was about half a length behind Commotion, who was not persevered with. Mouarque was a length behind Mdlle de Chantilly, and Duchess next. Ronzi was pulled up, aud finished last. Value of the stake 15,250f (£ 610), deducting the winner's own stake, and the second money.

ME EDITOE : It is now in the midst cf the season for the rifle and gun in Norway, and perhaps it may not be uninteresting for such as have friends here to learn their prospects of sport. There appears to be a considerable number of English sports- men, and I have seen many well- known names in the lists pub- lished by the keepers cf the hotels in Christiana, for immedi- ately a traveller takes up his quarters in this city, his name appears in the papers the next morning. About breakfast time a waiter makes his appearance with a solemn countenance, a pen in one hand and a commercial- looking book in the other, in which you are requested to sign your name; this book is sent for the inspection of the police bureau, and in due time your name appears in the Gothic type of the country. Apart from the ludicrous mistakes which arise from the illegible manner in which many scratch their autographs, some that are up to the thing usurp the names and titles of both traditionary and ancient celebrities, and I have seen Mr Mephistopheles, Sir Diabolus Lucifer, aud in one company Martin Luther, Calvin, and Melancthon, amongst the tourists from merry England. Sometimes there is a kick- up about these noma de voyage, but the thing goes on notwithstanding. But to the sport. The ex- ceedingly warm and dry suaimer has caused the reindeer to be much infested with the reinfly, which drops its eggs in the thick fur coat of the poor animal, where they soon change to maggots by the natural warmth of the body, and cause extreme pain. To avoid these and other flies, the flocks have kept in the higher region of the mountains, and, generally speaking, the deer is in worse condition than commen. Of course it will be understood that I am speaking of the wila reindeer. If the temperate weather which has now set in does not tempt the herds to come down the sport will be poor, because scarcely a single English sportsman has yet had the hardihood to attempt braving the fatigue and even danger of the chase in the higher mountain regions. The chase of the wild reindeer, although less known, is quite as exciting as the hunting the chamois on the Alps, but more fatiguing, as the ranges of mountains are more extensive, and the animals retreat further from the haunts of men. Suc- cessive bivouacs on a bleak mountain, some thousand feet alJove the level of the sea, deter therefore all but the most ad- venturous. That most magnificent quarry, the elk, is much on the increase, and when it keeps to the forest, you escape the chilling air of the mountain in the chase, but must perhaps put up with now aud then a plunge into a bog. A good shot with a long- range rifle will hereafter usually find good sport in shooting this noble animal, thanks to the protection which the law now affords it, and which has rescued it from extermination. Its chase is another kind of deer- stalking, through the deeply silent and solemn forests of the North. It surprises me that some nobleman or gentleman in England does not procure a pair of these superb creatures, either as an ornament to a park or otherwise, unless deterred by the fear of the injury they would cause to young trees and plantations ; but if they were supplied with plenty of other food, this would be trifling. The salmon fisheries neither on the coast nor in the rivers have been pro- ductive this season. The excessive drought and consequent want of water in streams has much reduced the sport of the angler, at leas, everywhere in the south of Norway, and in many localities quite destroyed it. The produce of such anglers as have visited the country this summer will not, therefore, be satisfactory, even if one or two can have been moderately fortu- nate, which this season will be the exception, not the rule. Capercalzies and black game are numerous, aud will give good sport.— Yours, & o, NOEVAGUS. Norway, September, 1857. ANGLING AND SHOOTING IN NORWAY. ME EDITOB : IN Bell's Life for the 9th ult is a letter from " Viator," touching the capabilities of the salmon rivers of Norway. I am not an angler myself, and therefore am not par- ticularly acquainted with the prospect of this or that river affording sport, but, as an old resident in the country, I may be allowed a remark or two on this subject, as well as on " Viator's" opinion of Norwegian tolks ( interpreters) and second- hand carioles. I entirely agree with " Viator" that an English angler can easily be deceived respecting any particular salmon river; and I cannot exactly point out a remedy, as the Norwegian streams are so exceedingly variable, some years being plentifully rich in fish, and then all at once becoming meagre to a degree. Whether this is occasioned by the severe netting at the estuaries, or from some unknown natural cause, I cannot take upon myself to determine, or on this point even offer a reasonable opinion. Certain it is, however, that nets of the same construction, and in the same number, usually attended by the same people, are annually, in the fishing season, placed at the estuaries and up the rivers, but the catch of salmon is astonishingly unequal. As this is the case with the fisherman, " with all appliances and means to boot," no wonder it is equally so with the angler. The rivers, also, belonging to an indefinite number of proprietors, not unfrequently cause much unpleasantness and considerable difficulty in coming to an arrangement for the fishing. On the whole, therefore, though the Norwegian salmon rivers are pro- verbially rich, my humble opinion is, that angling sport must be considered somewhat uncertain. " Viator's expressed opi- nion of the tolk I should be inclined to place to the account of very superficial acquaintance with the country; for I do not think any traveller or tourist provided with a tolk on the re commendation of a respectable Norwegian— innkeeper or other — would run much risk of unfair treatment, although the in- terpreter's inability exactly to comprehend the nature and aim of the tourist's wishes undoubtedly can and does give rise to disappointments and disagreeables. I would therefore strongly recommend every English tourist that visits Norway to procure a student, or other young man of the more respectable classes, as tolk or interpreter, which can be easily accomplished in all the larger towns. The tourist, however, must make up his mind to treat such a young man in a gentlemanly manner, and not con sider him in the light of a better kind of domestic or servant out of livery. He must remember that the students, the same as in Germany, are the pick of the youth, of the country, young men of education, brought up with prospects of a bright nature in their native laud, although the conventional forms of society in the land of their birth do not preclude them from accepting pecuniary remuneration, or engaging temporarily in the service of a gentleman, not in a menial capacity; nor do such engage- ments, or the acceptance of the stipulated reward for their ser- vices, in the slightest degree convey anything derogatory to the mind of the young Norwegian. It is not necessary for the tourist to lay himself under the least restraint, or in any respect fear impertinence or the slightest opposition to his wishes, but the interpreter of such a class must be treated with a certain con- sideration— in short, something like a private secretary; The expense of such an interpreter would not, on the whole, be a dollar heavier than the engagement of some yeoman or other, from which class the interpreters for tourists are usually taken, and he would have the great advantage of an educated assistant, acquainted with the history, traditions, and everything relating to the country, which would frequently be of essential service to him, and prevent him forming erroneous and often laughable opinions of what he saw and heard. These young men nearly always understand French, and not a few of them English, and an application to any consul or merchant would procure one of tkem as tolk, although there is a very general opinion in Nor- way, by & o means favourable, about the hauteur and superci- liousness of English tourists. The Norwegians are republicans living under a monarchical form of government— there is no nobility or privileged class— all classes mix much together, and their ideas and manner of thinking in this respect are very much the same as the Americans. English tourists would often do well to bear this in mind, and they would escape innumerable unpleasantnesses. On the engagement of an interpreter the consul or merchant would always give a hint of his family and class, and what kind of treatment would be expected. I have known many travellers who have followed this plan, and they have invariably expressed their satisfaction at the result. After fishing salmon a sportsman could hunt the elk and reindeer. SiHce I last wrote to your paper, I have made many inquiries concerning this sport in diflerent parts of the country, and I find that an Englishman on such an expedition had best at once go to the district of Osterdal, either from Drontheim or Christiana. If he comes direct from England, the route is from Hull by steamer to the latter city. Arrived at Christiana, he ought to purchase a cariole and harness, which can be procured for about £ 10, and travel to Osterdal, where there is a man that keeps a store of the name of Tangen, with whom many English sports- men have lodged, amongst the rest Mr Peel, Mr Sutton, Major Owen, & c. He can here obtain guides and every information, and in the shooting season there is an officer in the valley of the name of Lieut Moller, exercising the riflemen, who always shows great attention to English sportsmen; he does not understand much English, but he is so accus- ; tomed to Englishmen that he manages very well; if you \ have a tolk of course this is of little consequence. The British Consul- General at Christiana is always ready to give tourists the necessary information, and he would forward their letters to them, and without doubt would engage an interpreter if written to beforehand; in fact, I have seen advertisements emanating from him, inquiring for tolks. I entirely agree with " Viator" that second hand carioles and harness are to be avoided ; the expense of new is not so great that it can deter the tourist from purchasing them. Furnished with a good strong cariole aud harness, he can reasonably expect to escape break- downs, delays, and disappointments on the road. He will find no difficulty, generally speaking. in getting minor damages rapairedany where. However, if he comes on shore on the coast at auy but the larger towns, he will find it impossible to procure a new Gariole, and probably difficult to get even a second- hand. The tourist ought therefore always to go from Hull to Christiana, at which latter place he can provide himself with everything he requires, and either by steamer or overland proceed to any part of the country he wishes. NOEVAGUS. PIGEON SHOOTING. HOENSEY WOOD GROUNDS.— On Monday last several gentle- men met here, and shot at the 100 yards range. A match was shot for £ 5 between Messrs Roper and Vincent and Messrs Hil- ton and Munday, 12 shots each, at 200 yards ; the latter won, marking 19, including 6 bullseyes. On Tuesday Messrs Janson, Selfe, and Hopkins shot a match with Messrs Orchard, Mayhew, aad Seaton,; for £ 10.13 birds, 21 yards rise, to pull for each other. The former won, killing 32 to 27. Messrs Mayhew aud John- stone had 7 each, at 25 yards, both barrels, for £ 2 and the birds. They tied, killing 4 each, doubled the stakes and had 7 more ; Mr J. won, killing 5 to 4. Four sweepstakes were shot, 5 birds each, 21 yards rise, £ 1 each, 9 members. After several ties, Mr Johnstone won 2, Mr Mayhew 1, Messrs Steele and Seaton tic- din 1, and divided. To- morrow ( Monday) the Swiss Rifle Society will hold their last meeting for the season. Several members of the Victoria Rifles are expected to attend. Several handsome silver prizes will be shot for, 20 rounds each from the shoulder, at 200 yards range. ON SATCBDAY, the 19ih ult, toe members of the Swiss Rifle Society of London had their usual shooting match, for a number of valuable prizes, at Homsey Wood Tavern. Each had 20 rounds from the shoulder, 200 yards range, target 30in diameter, divided into five circles, the outer counting one, the central ( or carton) five. The following is the score of the successful com- petitors :— A. Guillaume first prize, marking 66 and 3 cartons; Allamand second, 57 and 1; A. Stram third, 53 ; N. Stram fourth, 51 j C.

DOMINOES.— ME EDITOE : I have heard or read that when George the Third " of blessed memory" was in a quandary, he used to say, " I'll speak to Pitt about it," but we in our fix appeal to a more independent oracle, that is, old " Nunquam Dormio." This little industrious hive ( Crewe, Cheshire) you will under- stand is the great workshop of the London and North Western Railway Company, and over 1,500 men are employed in supply- ing her Majesty's lieges with the means of steam travelling all England over. These men have black faces, hard hands, and being all John Bull's own children like such excitement as is produced by a horse race, a coursing match, or a game at domi- noes. Many of them work 14 hours a day, and at the end of it they enjoy their pint of ale over the dotted ivories, retire in peace, and at six next morning^ their " busy hammers" are to be heard again. Well, sir, the great unpaid here have thought proper to send one of those things that do their bidding to pub- lic and beerhouses to caution the proprietors against permitting dominoes to be played in them, we doubt the legality of this magisterial tyranny and appeal to you. The " nobs" ( alias " snobs"), like the bull in the china- shop, have everything their own way, they have all the gambling to themselves in the money market, the corn market, and the tallow market, won't let a man carry a betting- book in his pocket, and I suppose mean to monopolise all speculation on dominoes. Let them confine the stakes to glasses of ale ( as we do), and pay if they lose ( as we do), and we shall not read ( as we do) of ruined families and bankrupts and forgers on'change.— Yours, M. G.—[ It has been decided by Lord Campbell that domino playing in a public- house is lawful.] SKITTLES— On Monday and Tuesday last some skittle- play- ing came off at Mr Robt. Turner's, Machine Makers' Arms, near Bampton, Devon. The prizes on Monday were very closely con- tested for by Messrs Bowden, Dart, Leigh, Jutson, Turner, Trapuell, Oxenham, Parr, and others. The prizes were won by Messrs F. Bowden, J. Dart, Turner, Leigh, and Trapnell. On Tuesday there was a private match between Messrs F. Bowden and J. Dart of Bampton against Messrs J. Trapnell and T. Leigh of Huntsham, for £ 2 a side, which, after some of the best play that has been seen for some time, was won by the Bampton gentlemen. DRAUGHTS.— Wm. Harwood of South Stockton will play John Sawkili of Bradford, and stake £ 22 to £ 20, if he will play at Stockton; to come off next Christmas, and be played accord- ing to Anderson's rules, the first 17 or 21 games. Bell's Life to be stakeholder. If a deposit be sent to us and articles to Sawkill he will sign the latter and cover the former. BOWLS.— Henry Wardle of Newcastle will bowl Thos. Saint of Westmoor, and take a 15oz bowl to his lOoz, or a 25oz to Saint's 20oz, for from £ 25 to £ 50 a side. Money ready any time at Henry Wardle's, Cock and Anchor, Haymarket, Newcastle- on- Tyne.

THE RELIEF OF LUCKNOW. At the present stage of the terrible drama now being played out in India, the main interest centres iu General Havelock's force. Will this general, who in a few weeks has won eight brilliant victories against overpowering numbers, be able to fight his way to Luckuow, before the garrison there, hard beset and surrounded by hosts of furious zealots, succumbs to irre- sistible pressure? Or are new bands of hapless victims— brave men, delicate ladies, and helpless children— to glut the savage hate of men, or rather fiends, who have sworn to exterminateevery European, every Christian in Hindustan? There is not an inha- bitant of this island whose heart has not thrilled responsively to these questions. Would that we could answer them satisfactorily. Alas ! so far from that, we have now rather to ask whether the column which we hoped would have relieved Lucknow will be able to make head at Cawnpore, to which it has retreated against the overpowering numbers of the enemy which are as- sembling round it. Reduced to a thousand efficient men and with nothing that can bo called a fort, its danger is great. But supposing Havelock to hold his ground uutil the 90th Regi- ment and the 5th Fusiliers reach him on, say, thelst September, he would then perhaps be strong enougli to force his way to Lucknow, and would do the distance of 53 miles in eight marches, allowing for the time lost in engagements with the enemy. Let us examine the route. The stages then to Luckuow are as follows :— From Cawnpore to Onao, 10i miles, over a bad and heavy road, it being necessary first to cross tl- ie Ganges, which is spread out to great width opposite Cawnpore. Ouao is a large village, and here, on the 30tn of July, General Havelock engaged and defeated an imme> ise, ly superior force. The next stage is Onao to Rahmatgauj, ll| miles, over a bad and much cut up road, passing the large village of Ramganj half- way. Hera again a second action was fought on the31st July, and the enemy routed. A bad road leads to the next stage, Noelganj, 12 miles. The river Sye must be crossed half- way on this stage, where Havelock was stopped by its swollen stream, the opposite bank being lined with the enemy. Had he suc- ceeded in crossing he would still have had to travel ten miles to Badli Ka Takivah, at the entrance of the city of Lucknow, whence to eantonments is nine miles through the narrow streets of the city, across the Ghoomtee river by a bridge, which might be destroyed, and thence over heavy sands. Supposing the march to be successfully accomplished in spite of the vast masses of the enemy which are said to be posted along it, what will be General fiavelock's next movement ? From Lucknow he would probably return to Cawnpore, for supposing him to march next on Agra by Mynpoorie, he would in any case have to retrace his steps towards Cawnpore as far as Meahgauj, 34J miles, and he would probably find difficulty in crossing the Ganges, except at Cawnpore, where, he has already secured the means. From Cawnpore to Mynpoorie, the total distance is 107 miles. The road during the rains is heavy. At 47 miles from Cawnpore the Eesan, a considerable stream, must be crossed. Mynpoorie is a town with less than 3,000 iuhabitants. The Eesan must here be crossed again. There was a bridge, but whether it still exists is unknown. The distance from Mynpoorie to Agra is 71$ miles over a good road in dry weather, but for the first forty miles it is, during the rains and till November, under water, varying in depth from one to three feet. From Agra to Delhi, by Allyghur, now in the hands of the enemy, is 139 miles, but this is a very circuitous route. There is a more direct route along the river Jumna, but it is scarcely practicable at this season for large bodies of troops. Oa the whole it seems reason- able t* expect that under the most favourable circumstances a month or five weeks must elapse before General Havelock's army, even if powerfully reinforced, could after quitting Luck- now unite with that before Delhi; and ere that we trust the English flag will wave over what remains of that detested city. We may be sure that officers like Nicholson and Chamberlayne will urge on the assault if there should be a shadow of proba- bility that it will succeed. Should it, however, be necessary to delay, that delay will only be the more fatal tc> the rebels, who will then be surrounded without a possibility of escaping. In either case their punishment is not far distant, and will be, we doubt not, a signal one.— Fro- m the Homeward Mail from India, China, and the East, Oct 1. RETUEN OF THE COUET FBO M THB NOETH.— The Queen and the royal family will return from Scotland on the 14th inst; but it is understood that, owing to the continued indisposition of Earl Fitz william, the intended royal visit to Went worth House will be postponed. INCBEASB OB THE ABMY.— THE RBCEUITING SYSTEM.— The Morning Post of Saturday says—" We believe we are cor- rect in stating that it is the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to reduce the standard for recruiting from five feet six inches for the Cavalry to five feet five inches, and from five feet five inches for the Infantry to five feet four inches. The age for recruits, which at present stands at from eighteen to twenty- five, is to be extended to thirty years of age. Recruiting is proceeding most satisfactorily, the Government having obtained for the last six weeks one thousand men a week. Under the new regulations it is hoped that this may be doubled. A further force of ten thousand Militia is to be at once called out. This will raise the force of embodied Militia to twenty- five thousand men. LATE FAILUEB— The Eastern Counties Herald states that the liabilities of the bank of Messrs Harrison, Watson, and Co., which suspended on the 24th ult., amount to about £ 400,009, and that the assets are estimated at £ 225,000. The joint sum owing from Messrs Taylor and Bright, and Mr Hassell, chairman of the Cotton Mills Company, verges on a quarter of a million. Among the sufferers by the failure are the various benefit societies at Hull which had opened deposit accounts at the bank. It is believed that sufficient to pay a dividend of 10s in the pound will be realised. WBBCK OP AN AMERICAN STEAMSHIP.— LOSS OF FIVE HUNDEKD LIVES.—( From the New York Herald of Sept 19.)— On Saturday last, the 12th inst, the United States mail steam- ship Central America, Captain Herndon, bound to New York, with the Pacific mails, passengers and crew, to the number of some six hundred and twenty- five persons, and treasure to the amount of over two millions of dollars, foundered in a hurricane off Cape Hatteras. The Central America was due at this port on Sunday last, and since then the most painful anxiety as to her fate pervaded the whole community, but more particularly those whose friends and families were supposed to have been passengers on board of her. In the Herald of yesterday we announced the lamentable fact that she had perished in th « gale, and that but few of her passengers were rescued. It is impossible at this time to tell the number of lives lost, but that it must have been immense there is little room to doubt. The number will probably reach five hundred. ITALIAN OPEEA BUFFA.— Mr Mitchell gave us in the past summer the Bouffes Parisiennes, who attained the highest de- gree of popularity at the St James's Theatre. He has now de- termined to produce, at the same fashionable house, an Opera Buffa Italiana, carrying out the design of the Turin manager, Signor D. Ronzani. This novel species of entertainment will be presented to the public next mouth, commencing on the 3d of Nov, and will be continued throughout the winter until the ensuing Lent. The list of vocalists embraces the following names, all favourably known to fame in the chief cities of Italy, Naples, Rome, Florence, Turin, Milan, & c:— First sopranos: Amalia Fumagalli and Luigia Cerelli. First tenors: G. Dauiele and Enrice Georgetti. Contralto, mezzo soprano: Luigia Tam- burini. First baritones : Carlo Bartolucci and Luigi Fumagalii. First Buffi : Giuseppe Ciampi and Ninno Conti ( the celebrated Neapolitan Punchinella). First bass : Cesare Castelli. From Mr Mitchell's recognised managerial tact and experience there can be little doubt that this contemplated attraction will prove successful. THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. — At the monthly general meeting held on Thursday, at the society's house in Hanover- square— Mr J. S. Gaskoin, F. L. S., in the chair— Lady Lennard and Messrs W. Gardner, J. T. Neat, and Napier Sturt, M. P., were elected fellows; and Mr Lewis Fraser, as correspond- ing member of the society; and Messrs G. T. Saul, Thomas P. Blyth, and H. Bingham Mildmay were proposed as candidates for the fellowship. The report of the council stated that the number of visitors to the gardens during the current year amounted to upwards of 300,000 ; and that numerous interest- ing additions had been made to the menageries since the last meeting. ROYAL CBEMOBNB GAEDENS.— The announcement of the closing of Cremorne Gardens will be a source of regret to very many frequenters of that most agreeable place of entertainment. The season, which throughout has been most propitious, termi- nated on Monday last, on which occasion the entire receipts were devoted to the fund for relieving the sufferers by the Indian Mutinies. The great personal exertions of Mr Simpson, the proprietor, enabled him, despite the unfavourableness of the weather, to realise a sum of between £ 300 and £ 400. Whenever any national fund can be assisted, Mr Simpson is always ready to lend his valuable assistance, which has always been attended with marked success. We sincerely hope that the officious and uncalled- for interference of a portion of the Chelsea Yestry, now acting so hostilely to Mr Simpson, will be of no avail on the licensing day, and that the public will not be de- prived of this their favourite suburban retreat, cr its privileges curtailed. MABBIAGE LAW IN SOUIH AUSTEALIA.— The Marriage Bill had been read a second time. This measure makes legal a marriage with a deceased wife's sister. A clau& e is to be intro- duced providing that clergymen shall not be compelled to solemnise such a marriage.— Australian and JSrew Zealand Gazette. Last year " only one person iu 16,168,449, who travelled by railway was killed," from causes beyond his own control. CHOLEBA.— The Board of Health have issued a paper under the title of " Precautionary Advice to Local Boards of Health," with reference to epidemic cholera. It points out that certain powers are given to local officers of health by the Public Health Act, and the Nuisances Prevention Act. The local boards are specially enjoined " to be kept well- informed as to the amount of bowel complaint prevailing from time to time within their district, which they are to communicate to the general board." The special cause for this notification is said to be a very unusual fatality from diarrhoea observed in London within the last three months, taken in conjunction with the fact that cholera has become epidemic in the Baltic ports and at Hamburg, aud that its appearance in that city has been three times closely followed by its breaking out in our eastern ports. THE HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths registered last week were 1,002, being 361 less than the average, The deaths from diarrhoea are fast diminishing. Last week they were only 83. Tvphus carried off 52 persons, scarlatina 34. The births were ! were 886 boys, avid 820 evrls— total, 1,706, CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. In consequence of the preparations made for the 4th of the month, when, as usual, a large mass of commercial paper arrives at maturity, the demand for money during the past week has beea very active, aud full rates have in all cases been maintained- At this period of the year the revenue collections are vigorously made, and these, together with the arrangements at the Stock Exchange, and for the transmission of silver by the bi- monthly mail, have assisted in extending the inquiry for accommodation, These engagements having been provided for, there is now an expectation that a period of relief will be experienced ; but, although no advance in the minimum quotation is anticipated! a reduction is considered equally improbable. The specie move- ment is rather more favourable, and notwithstanding the remit- tances from New York have ceased, those from Australia and Mexico are likely to be maintained at a point likely to prevent any material decline in the Bank of England bulliqu. The steamer Parana, which arrived on Thursday, brought nearly £ 400,000 in specie, and thus the shippers to India and China will not be compelled to obtain so large an amount as usual from the Con- tinent for the steamtr on the 20th inst. The Bank of England return for the week ending the 26th ult, presents the following changes:— The Notes unemployed were smaller by £ 94,570, and the Bullion larger by £ 87,528, the amount now standing at £ 11,276,088. The other securities were augmented to the extent of £ 757,649, being £ 19,719,700, the Public Deposits were larger by £ 419,894, and the other deposits by £ 188,066, The active circulation payable on demand amounted to £ 19,142,120, being an increase of £ 240,905. The trade of the country continues in a flourishing condition, and the Board of Trade returns, as well as those relatiag to the revenue, are exceedingly satisfactory. The English Funds during the past week have been very active, and a speculation for a rise appears to have set in. The advices from India are not considered discouraging, and purchases both for money and time having been made, a rise of | per cent ensued. Transactions have been numerous, aud the general tone of business lias deci- dedly improved. The Three per Cent Consols closed yesterday at 90| to 90J for money, and at 90* to 90J for the account. Exchequer Biils were rather firmer, viz, at 5s to 9s dis, and India Bonds aud India Stock realised steady rates. The latest prices, on Friday afternoon, of the English Funds were- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. f Bank Stock, 217 19 Consols, 90ii Exchequer tfills, 9s to 5s dis India Bonds, 18s India Stock, 207 8 Consols for Account, 90J f The market for Foreign Stocks during the past week has been inactive, the chief variation having been in Turkish Six per Cent. Bonds, which improved to the extent of about 1 per cent. The Four per Cent Guaranteed exhibited scarcely any variation. Spanish improved about i. Mexican, Russian, Sardinian, and Dutch Bonds were dealt in to a limited extent, but exhibited little variation in values.

Iu the foreign and colonial undertakings a moderate business has been transacted, and prices have also shown some improvement; Paris and Lyons have advanced Northern of France Sambre and Mouse and Great Luxem- bourg 5; Grand Trunk of Canada improved 3, Great Western of Canada 1*, and East Indian 1. British, foreign, and colonial mining shares ruled dull, and Alfred Consols have receded about 5s to 10s. Joint- Stock Bauk shares were in moderate request, but exhibited little variation iu values. In the Miscellaneous Market very little business was reported: Peninsular and Oriental Steam ruled firm, and North of Europe Steam were dealt in at about former values. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THB GEEAT NOETHEEN RAILWAY. — Another person, Mr W. Jackson, has died from the injuries he received by this accident. The inquest on the bodies was resumed on Tuesday, when Colonel Wynne, the Government inspector, was examined. He said he had seeu the place where the accident happened. He found the whole distance on the line had been reformed. He had it opened out again, and every sleeper swej » t. From the north end of the bridge, aud going north, he perceived the places where the carriage wheels had struck the sleepers. At 24 vards farther, except at the end of one sleeper, there were no marks. The mark corresponded with the line iu which the telegraph post was knocked down. Fif- teen yards beyond, 48 yards from the bridge, there was ballast kuocked in the hedge, indicating that a carriage had been off the line. The indentations in the sleepers were pointed out to him, but he did not place much confidence in them. Going over the bridge, and south of it, there were indications that carriages had been off the line. He thought the order of the accident was, that the van went off first. At the point ( 48 yards) where it struck the sleeper, it threw off the two carriages before it, and when they struck the bridge it would detach the two carriages that went over the bridge. He believed the van itself was first detached by striking the sleeper at6 3 yards from the bridge. He had examined the carriages, and found but one bent axle, which he believed had been done by the accident. The carriages were in excellent condition, and made of first- rate ma- terials, and very strong. He was a great advocate of the com- munication between the guard and the driver; but in this in- stance he did not believe it would have been of any use. He did not believe there was anything in the speed of these trains on the Great Northern, considering the state of the line, to at all alarm the public. The danger is increased at the same ratio as the speed. He thought it would be well if there was a maxi- mum speed, beyond which drivers should not drive, but the locomotive superintendent thought the speed here was not too great. What they had to deal with was the momentum in going down an incline ; and, if the weight of the engine was counter- poised by a heavy break, it would wot add to the steadiness of the train. Looking at the good state of the road where the acci- dent took place, he believed that a similar accident might have befallen a train travelling at only 40 miles an hour.— In reply to a juryman, Colonel Wynne said it was unusual to make any change or alteration where the accident had taken place, until the jury had seen it.— It was stated that the guard could not give evidence.— The coroner then summed up. He said the cause of the accident could not be ascertained, but he had no doubt that the jury would arrive at such a conclusion as would satisfy the mind of the public. There was no law as to the speed at which they should travel; and the people who travelled at that speed took the responsibility upon themselves, if all was done that could be done by the company to convey them, with proper caution, to the place they had contracted to take them. If they ( the railway company) neglected this point, and were careless in what they did, then they were answerable for it.— The jury, after half an hour's consultation, returned a verdict of Accidental Death ; and also that, in giving their fullest con- sideration to the details couaected with this melancholy acci- dent, they cannot separate without stating, that it appears there is not sufficient caution given to the engine- drivers work- ing express trains, and that they are entrusted with the exer- cise of a very large and dangerous discretion ; and that there should be a maximum speed at which the drivers of an engine should not, under any circumstances, exceed ; and they further desired the coroner to communicate the verdict to the Board of Trade, and request them to bring the subject under the early consideration of the Government. Two DEATHS BY DEOWNING.— An inquest was held on Thurs- day, at Edgware, on the bodies of Charles Waldock, a farmer, and of a woman named Sarah Clayton, who had lived with him for some time past. Waldock had been separated from his wife, to whom he had behaved with great cruelty, and he often quar- relled with the woman Clayton, who was frequently intoxicated. On Tuesday night a quarrel ensued, when he called her an op- probrious name, and she threatened, if he uttered the word again, she would drown herself, lie did so, when she imme- diately rushed out of the house, and threw herself into a deep pond at the bottom of the garden. Waldock jumped in to rescue her, but he quickly sank and was drowned; and though Clayton was alive when taken out, she soon afterwards expired. The ! verdict of the jury iu the case of the woman was, " Suicide while labouring under temporary insanity," and in the case of Waldock, Accidental Death. GOBED BY A BULL.— Some days ago, as James Jones, game keeper to Mr Heald, at Baddeley, near Northwich, was crossing a field, armed only with a stick, a bull, with which he had al- ways been on friendly terms, approached him. Not liking the close proximity of the beast, he struck it over the head ; he at once saw from its vicious look that he had better get away, so he took to his heels ( the hedge was distant about 50 yards), but had only gone a few steps when the bull overtook him, threw him, and receiving him on his horns, wounded Iiim severely in the chest; the bull pitched him upwards of twenty times, until Jones became nearly insensible, and the animal was thoroughly exhausted. Rousing himself, he drew a kuife, and slashed the beast's face, which was within reach of his arm, and then fol- lowed it up by burying the knife in its eye. The bull walked away, and Jones crawled through the hedge, and was picked up some time afterwards insensible. His injuries are very serious. THE LATE MUEDBE IN LEIGH WOODS.— John Beale has been examined by the magistrates at Bristol for the murder of Char- lotte Pugsley. He was apprehended at Badby House, Daventry, the residence of Capt Watkins, by whom he was employed as butler. Before the magistrates the prisoner, although cautioned, said: " When I came to Bristol with Charlotte Pugsley, she was a late fellow- servant of mine, and of course I was always her friend. If she wanted money or anything else, she used to send to me; and if I wanted anything, I sent to her for it; of course one good turn deserves another. She some time ago was married. She must have been married though passing as a single person. When I was living at Dorset House, at Mrs Hutchinson's, she was to have been married, but some one prevented her. I do not know his name, but the man who succeeded me, named Mortimer, knew him well. When we came to Bristol the man should have met us, aud she was aware of it, and had private letters to see. She wrote a letter to me, and asked me to come and see her off; and when we came to the Bristol station, the man met her, and took her off from me as his wife. They went up Temple- street, and I had charge of her hexes, aud she gave me the keys and said they would be back at such a time. I waited till half- past twelve, and she did not return. I had care of her boxes as a friend. On Friday I went to Bath and saw my father; and my brother- in- law, who was going off to Australia, came back with me, but we could see nothing of her. I then went straight t © Northampton, and took the things with me, and when there, I opened the boxes to see if I could find any letter to her or her sister. I ceuld not find any letter, and, of course, I was waiting anxiously in the hope that I should hear from her. I have not heard anj thing till the superintendent came yesterday and apprehended me, and charged me with wilful murder, which I know nothing of, and would take my dying oath so. As to the things, they were in my care; as her friend I thought that I should take care of them. Whenever she wanted money she had it of me. i don't think that I should be blamed for wilful murder— a thing I am innocent of. If I were to leave the world this moment, 1 know no more of the murder than you do. I don't know the man's name, but 1 should know him again. He is a man of very dark complexion and very bushy hair. She has a sister in Oxford- shire; . Jane, I think. She is lately married, and I don't know where to write to her, but she used to live with Mr Busk. She may know his name." The prisoner at once stepped forward and signed this statement iu a very firm hand. The witnesses who discovered the body of Pugsley were then examined, and afterwards Simeon Branscomb deposed that he was gamekeeper to Captain Watkins, of Badby House. The prisoner left there on Sunday, the 6th ult. He said that his father had met with an accident, and his sister was dead, or be- lieved to be dead, and that he was going to see about it, That conversation was on Saturday, the oth, the day before he left. He returned on Saturday, the 12th, at about nine o'clock in Ihe evening, After he had returned a person from Daventry brought three boxes to the house. The prisoner received them, and called witness to help him down into the cellar with them. He said they were boxes which belonged to his sister, who was dead, ( The boxes belonging to the deceased Charlotte Pugsley were here brought forward, and identified as those which the prisoner had put in the cellar.)— The prisoner: I think the wit- I ness has made a little mistake. If you recollect right, Simeon, ! I did not say any thing about my dead sister. I said, " I have j brought these boxes from home; will you help me down with ; them ?"— The witness, in replying to the magistrate, said he had ! no doubt that he said he had brought them from home, and he certainly said they belonged to his dead sister.— The prisoner has since been committed for trial, CAED SHABPING.— At Bow- street, on Tuesdav, Mr William Edward Hitchell, landlord of the Green Dragon, in Villiers- street, Strand, appeared to auswer a summons taken out at the instance of the police, charging him with allowing gambling in his house,— Wii! iaw Wilshire, a waiter at Salter's Hotel, in Vic- toria- street, Hoiborn, stated that oa Saturdav, the 19th inst, he met a man in the street who asked him the way to the Great Globe in Leicester- square. Witness undertook to show him, and on the way the stranger offered to treat him to a glass of ale. They entered the defendant's house and had some ale, and while they were there a man came in and offered a cigar case for sale. As no one would buy he produced some cards, and offered to stake the ease against a shilling with any of t' « e company, that he could not select the four of clubs from three cards which he had laid on the table. The first person who took hig bet won the card ease. The man then offered to bet shillings, and in a few minutes the game was joined in with spirit. The stakes rose to half- crowns, half- sovereigns, and sovereigns 5 and witness, after losing all his money (£ 1 8s 6d), was induced to stake his watch and chain, worth £ 5, which he also lost. He had not once won. Defendant was there all the while. He left with the man who had brought him in. Subsequently, he was advised to give information at the police station, and he pre- sumed it was in consequence of his complaint that these pro- ceedings were taken. He went to defendant's house the same evening, thiuking he might find some of the parties there. De- fendant then said that he saw the transaction, and that witness ought not to have staked his watch.— Inspector Mitchell said the house had been much better conducted by the defendant than before fee took it.— For the defence, the barman was called to prove that, at the time of the occurrence, the defendant was ill, and was lying on a sofa in another room ; but Mr Jardina expressed his dissatisfaction with the manner in which this wit- ness gave his evidence, and his belief that the first witness was correct. In consideration of the general good character of de- fendant's house, he would mitigate the penalty to 40s and costs. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A PAYMASTEB.— At Bow- street, on Wed- nesday, Mr John Holder, late lieutenant and paymaster of the 5th Royal Lancashire Militia, was charged with embezzling nearly £ 2,000. Mr S. Kirby, of tke War Office, proved that the defendant was paymaster of the 5th Regiment of the Lancashire Militia, in which capacity he was entrusted with large sums of money. He resigned the appointment in February, 1856, after which defalcations to the extent of about £ 1,800 were discovered in his accounts. These moneys ought to have been paid to the army agents, Messrs M'Gregor and'Co. The defendant addressed a letter to the authorities, which witness now produced.— De- fendant : Oh, I admitted the deficiency, and I admit it still; but I deny that there has been auy embezzlement. I had none of the money. My pay- sergeant did the business."— It was stated on behalf ot the prosecution that a remand would be desirable, without gsing further into the case at present.— Defendant: l also wish the case to be adjourned, for my solicitor is out of town, aad my family and friends are all away. I presume I shall be admitted to bail.— Mr Henry: The defalcations are to a serious amount.— Defendant: Supposing the full amount of money is put down.— Mr Henry: That cannot be done. If you can find two sureties in £ 2,000 each, besides your own recognisances ( giving 24 hours' notice to the prosecution), you may be admitted to bail. The case was then remanded for a week, the defendant being committed to prison. MUEDEB.— At Worship- street, on Wednesday, Maria Clark, charged on the first examination on suspicion of having caused the death of her illegitimate daughter, nine years of age, was brought up for final examination, charged, on her own confes- sion, with murder.— The case has already been reported. The prisoner aad her child were inmates of Homerton Union Work- house, and on the 3d September they left the workhouse, ur- known to the authorities. On the same evening she complain'd to her sister of having missed the girl by the side of the canal. On the following morning she pointed out a spot where she alleged her child's bonnet had been seen on the surface of the water, and there the body was found. Subsequently letters were discovered in her hand, confessing that she caused her daughter's death ; and now the following evidence was given.— Sergeant Mate, 23 N, stated that on the 14th ult the accused was in the station- house, and said in his hearing, " I drowned my child because I did not wish to see it grow up and wear those large hats the girls now wear in the street." She then, holding her arms out, added, " It laid in my arms like this, aud I threw it into the canal. It did not struggle much, but died like a lamb. I tkought drowning an easier death than hanging, but found it was not."— The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial. CHAEGE OF UTTEBING A FOBGED CHECK.— At the Mansion House, on Mouday, John Franklin and Wm. Kerp were charged as follows:— Haydon, detective, said that this afternoon he was sent for by the Union Bank. On going there he saw Franklin at the couater, and Mr. Robinson handed witness the check produced for £ 270, dated the 25th Sept., 1857, signed " Judah Levy Yuly," and payable to Mr. A. Bland or bearer, aud endorsed on a receipt stamp " A. Bland." Franklin admittsd that he had presented the check, and witness said it was a forgery, and asked Franklin to go into a private room. Franklin then said he had received the check that morning from a friend named Bland in the Three Colts public house, London- wall, for bets won on the St. Leger. He offered to go with witness to the Three Colts to point out the man. Witness went, and on reach- ing Moorgate- street Franklin pointed to a man who was in a cab, which was standing near the kerb stone, and said, " That's the man I took the check from." The man pointed to was the prisoner Kerp. Kerp replied that he knew nothing about the check, and refused to give his name. On searching Franklin £ 7 5s in a purse, and a watch, chain, aud two rings were found upon him.— Mr. C. B. Robinson, cashier of the Uuion Bank, said that Franklin presented the check, and asked for five £ 50 notes and 20 sovereigns. Witness perceived that the check was a forgery, and sent for an officer. The check book from which the check was taken had been obtained by a forged order.— The prisoners were remanded. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE- FRIDAIT.
