R RICHARD MOSS will SELL by AUCTION, at the Auction Mart, in London, on Monday. October 19, at 1 i, in one lot, all that important and valuable PROPERTY, comprising th* Basingstoke I'rewery together with Sixty- three Freehold, Copyhold, and Leasehold Public houses attached, many of them situate in the towa ot Basmgitoke, and the remainder in the towns and villages within tea of iie, V; ' vn"? s ° J • A Freehold Farm of about fiitj- two acros will be included in the sale, and the purchaser will have the option ol taking a much larger quantity of land upon a yearly tenancy. The whole property has been in the hands of the family ol the present owners lor nearly a century, and is of very high standing in the county. The trade pi the brewery is gradually on the increase, and in the hands of new proprietors, and under more active management, could, without doubt, be enlarged to almost any extent. It has for many years past been ca£ ried on by trustees, and the trade has not, therefore, been developed to its legitimate extent. The important addition of the spirit trade, which it is estimated would amount to from 6,000 to 8,000 gallons per annum, would add reost materially to the profits, which have always been highly remunerative. An old- established brewery of this character is seldom otiered for sale. In the present instance the determination of the tru » - tees to realise the estate is the sole cause for the disposal of the property. To assist them m effecting; this object they are prepared to leave one- thud ol the purchase money upon mortgage at 4 per cent. A property of this description offers unusual attractions to capitalists, for, combined with a fair average amount of profit unom the capital invested, it centers a considerable local influence upon its proprietors.— Full descriptive printed particulars may be had of Messrs Lamb, Brooks, Sons, and C « allis, of Basingstoke and Odiham; at the Railway Hotel, Reading; at the Auction Mart; and of Mr Richard Moss, 12, King William- street.

Woollen fabrics, of every colour, rendered waterproof by a process which imparts no unpleasant smell; and the most gentlemanly waterproof garments are ottered at the most reasonable prices. E.

J BECPvUITING. If your conduct is not distinguished, let your expressions be so: though your ideas may he worth nothing, your language should be fine. These seem to have been the principles on which a recent article iu The Times was written. We do not inquire who wrote it, but its tone and spirit are manifestly official. Eed « tapeism is its essence— the support of red- tapeism its object. 16 professes to account for the deficiency of Bug laud in its means of defence, and assumes throughout that the Government ia blameless and the fteople supine. The reverse is the case ia both respects. The writer says, as if he had hit upon a brilliant idea which never had before been received into the head of any Englishman, " We must popularise the army, and martialise the population." What a pity he could not give to these sounding words the aid of " Apt alliteration's artful aid," and then he would have reclined himself in his easy chair with the consciousness of having achieved a great triumph. The vapid absurdity wanted but this to be complete in all respects as " a false pretence." False enough in substance, it only needed this deceptiveness of form to give it a finishing grace. The army is popular— it must necessarily be so in a country iu which, according to this article itself, there is an overflowing energy in the tastes and habits, nay, ia the very enjoyments, of the ]-€ ople. It is not the army wnich is unpopular, as this article suggests it to be, but the mode of government adopted for the army which is distrusted, disliked, scorned. Yet in spite of all these objections, no sooner does a national excitement arise than the ranks ofthe army are filled, without any stimulus on the part of the Government, nay often in the teem of its worst habits of throwing a " wet Blanket" oa all that is enthusiastic or zealous. The Steele of Paris rightly reminds those priestly papers which see iu our Indian difficul- ties the downfall of England, that this country, rising with the emergency, placed 50,000 fine soldiers before Sebastopol just before the end of the war, ana that too after a campaign which the incapacity and negligence of our generals had rendered peculiarly disheartening. There is no need of any attempt to " popularise the army" beyond that of doing justice to it; and as to any necessity to " martialise" ( what a fine word!) " the people," they have been martial enough, every one knows, for ages. Indeed, it has ever been a favourite subject for caricature that " John Bull" was always too fond of inter- to proceed with the game loses the stakes. RAFFLE. Cutter— The lowest, of course.

And foreiga writers without number, taking the same view as that adopted by our owu, have denounced the English for their too great tendency to take part in ali Continental disputes, and to engage in wars to which, those Continental writers allege, they ought ever to have remained strangers. This certainly cannot be de scribed as the habit of an " un- martial" people." No Sybaritic nation was ever martial, and no nation whose sons sought with avidity, as enjoyments, all those exercises which ensured great toil, and were frequently accompanied with great danger, was ever without strong martial tendencies. " All life is motion, and commotion is The extremest point of life," said the poet who, better than any one except Shakespere, understood and described the tendencies and results of human feelings. Well, then, what do we want in order to have a fine army for foreign work or for home defence ? We wast only that a rule of common sense should be observed towards the people. Instead of having volunteering chilled by official coldness and red tape imbecility, it should be honourably treated. It need not be encouraged, for it might then, in this people whom The Times proposes to " Eiartialise," become over- abundant, but it should be treated with respect; accepted so far as necessity re- quired, declined, but with warmth and sympathetic expressiou of feeling, where it was not needed. If this simple, just, aad honourable course was pursued, we should neithtr want armies o fight our battles abroad nor to defend our shores at home. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Our foreign intelligence is very brief; it amounts to nothing but gossip as to possible intentions of the great Continental sovereigns. The meeting at Stuttg& rdt seems to have been pro- ductive of no result. The Czar has put an affront on the French Emperor by the refusal of the Czarina to meet the Empress, but the political combinations of the two potentates do not seem to have compensated to either for the personal annoyance thus occasioned. What will be done is now the source of idle talk, nothing more; nothing bas been done, or even resolved upon. The Wallachian and Moldavian settlement is as far off as ever, and there is little reason to believe that the grounds exist for auy amicable compromise of this difficult matter. But, at all events, that matter remains at present among the " open ques- tions" of European politics.

The royal party will leave Balmoral in the forenoon, aud, pesting by Tarland, Monymusk, and Old Meldrum, will reach Haddo about five o'clock. Her Majesty will stay a night, leaving about eleven o'clock on Thursaay and posting to Aberdeen, whence the royal party will travel by the Scottish North Eastern Railway to Perth aud Edinburgh, which will be reached about seven p. m. THE DAY or HUMILIATION.— Wednesday, as a general rule, was observed most strictly by all classes as a day- of fastiug, hu- miliation, and prayer. The churches and chapels throughout the country were numerously attended, and at almost every place of worship liberal collections w- ere made for the relief of the sufferers by the Indian mutiny. The greatest collection was made at the Crystal Palace, where a sermon was preached by Mr Spurgeon to au audience cf 23,664 persons. The collection amounted to £ 475 10s ll^ d, to which was added by the Crystal Palace Company the sum of £ 200. As to the good taste which induced the company to open their exhibition on such a day, cotnbiuiug with its usual attractions the " draw" of a popular : preacher, we say nothing. PKOGBESS OP I BOX SHIP- EUILDIXG.— We have now in our i office the moJel of a vesse. constructed upon Mr John Clare's ; patent principle. The itci is nearly flat, while in proportion j to the width the vessel is of a great length. It appears that the ; plan adopted by Mr Clare is to obtain a great amount of { strength, with a comparatively small proportion of weight. The i system of flooring pursued is likewise different to that at pre- | sent in use, and a large quantity of cargo can be taken, every j available space being utilised. If adopted, there is no question i but that this principle will totally supersede the present modes i hitherto in use. The system propounded seem* highly feasible, and we trust that, now the question has assumed a practicable I shape, it will be fully tested, and thoroughly investigated. A I subject of such national importance deserves the attention of all, but more particularly those connected with the iron trade and our mercantile marine. If commercial men and practical engineers are convinced of the utility ana the i? reat benefit tb be derived from Mr Clare's invention, they, no doubt, will adopt it; this done, Government must follow in their wake, and we shall then, probably, not have te report such a loss as that of the Transit. However many have judged of the views « f the inventor, and in some instances have differed from several of his opinions, every one acquainted with the subject must give bins great credit for the perseverance and untiring energy dis- played for the purpose of furthering improvements in the con- struction of our iron vessels. A great nation like England must always retain her maritime supremacy, and it is the boast of Englishmen, in contraaistinction to Continental nations, that individual enterprise accomplishes everything useful aud prac- ticable, while Government is always a drag upon any improve- ment. It falls to our lot to notice inventions which, although they seem of great utility ou the face of the specification, are never found to be practicable, or advance beyond the stage of sealing the patent— some of these are discovered to be reproduc- tions, and others of such trifling value that they cannot be made available, while several are so costly in their application that they are commercially worthless. Mr John Clare has defined his ideas practically, and we think it is nothing but a matter of common justice that his views now should be thoroughly sifted, and that merit accorded to them which they may be found worthy of. The model can be seen by auy one interested at our office.— The Mining Journal. ACCIDENT ON THE TEE. VT VALLEY RAILWAY.— On Monday morning, at half- past two o'clock, as the Northern express mall train was proceeding towards Rugby, and within two miles of it, while coming down an incline at a great speed ( it being more than half an hour behind time), the train, which was a long one, became separated in about the centre. The engine, being partly set free, now ran at a fearful speed, and the guard's break, which was behind the engine, also became detached. The driver, finding that his train was separated from him, it is said, reversed his engine, aud thus the middle portion of the train became jarred between the hinder portion of the carriages that became lirst liberated aud the engine. The consequence was that the break was smashed, aud Mr M'Geach, a gentleman from Shrews- bury, received internal injurks of a painful nature. Mr Jones, a travelling post office clerk, also received a cut which completely split his > iose in two parts. Mr Ashby, of Staines, received a wound on the forehead. Mr Grew, the station- master of Rugby, had the suff - rers immediately conveyed to the Eagle Hotel, Rugby, where they received all the attention their cases demanded.

Another harlequin transformation of the Spanish Cabinet has thus been effected, but how long it will endure no one seems to know— nor does any one precisely understand what was its cause, or what is its object. In Spain everything seems possible, except good sense and good morals. The priests and the Court forbid both of these, and there are always to be found political adventurers who outrage the first and spurn the second. We doubt much if any political honesty is capable of being found among the governing classes in Spain ; and so frightfully corrupt is the Court that it is only reasonable to suppose that its bad example has tainted the character of the classes who alone possess any political authority in that country. So bad indeed is the state of things there that, ever since Narvaez suggested the possibility of his doing anything for the good of the country, his hold upon iu the occupation of the Countess of Listowel, her ladyship having declard that she would assemble her tenantry aud work- people, and resist, by physical force, any attempt to enter her territories. At an early hour the tenantry surrounding the village of Ballyholy, and also the retainers of the house of Hare; assembled before the hall door of Convamore, on the south side- of the i-: lack water. Her ladyship was on the field at an oarly hour, addressed the crowd in language which touched the heorts of her hearers, and exerted herself with great energy, spur- ring on the tardy villagers; in fact throughout the day she was everywhere exhibiting her well- known skill in horsemanship, whipping her beautiful ponies, and calling on the people to ' protect her rights; also promising rewards to those who should act with tha greatest courage. At about one o'clock the con- stabulary at Ballyhooly marched to the scene; on arrival they found from 400 to 500 men assembled, and well armed with bludgeons, her ladyships steward haviDg directed every man not properly provided to help hemself to the fine oak saplings grow- ing on the demesne. The well- fed English formea a grenadier company, armed with pistols as well as bludgeons. A police constable instantly hastened to the residence of the nearest ma- gistrate, and informed him of the assembly, and perfectly asto- nished the poor justice when he told him that it was to resist the attack of the magistrate himself, and all his people, that the immense crowd were assembled at Convamore. I will leave it to the reader to imagine the surprise of the quiet justice when in- formed that 500 men were within half a mile of his residence threatening to give him and his peopleaswim in the Backwater— a service which would be particularly dangerous ou that day, as there was a tremendous flood in the river, caused by the late rains. The constable asked for an order to get more police or military, but could not help violating the gravity of uiseipline so far as to burst into a fit of laughter when told by the magistrate that he had no intention of invading on that day the lordly de- mesne of Convamore, and that he Lever gave an order to acy of his men to do so ; that he respected himself and the commission he held too much to head a lawless mob, aud that he preferred continuing the occupatiod in which the constable interrupted him— namely, thinning youcg trees. The day wore on, evening came, the expected assailants did not appear, and at seven o'clok p. m., her ladyship having made another appropriate speech, thanking her retainers, invited them to drink three office has become precarious.

What may be the real cause of the present change of Ministry has not been, perhaps never will be, truly communicated to the world. Whether the Queen, satiated with one favourite, de- mands another, and cannot obtain her wish without dismissing Narvaez, is at present unknown ; or it may be that her mother desires to make a fresh exaction on the national purse, and Narvaez finds that he has enough to do to supply himself, and to provide for the exigencies of his own government. This lat- ter supposition is really the most natural one, for the rival interests aad extravagancies of these two personages h » ve be- hooly, and returned triumph to the Mansion House of Convamere." JOLLY JUBYIIEN.— The hotel bill of the jury impanneled in the recent trial of Gentles and Reid at the Stirling Circuit Court of Justiciary was within a trifle of £ 70. This fact may help to dispel the popular belief that jurymen, during the progress of a trial, are doomed to subsist on such common- place fare as bread and water. Considering the number of days over which the trial extended, perhaps the score run up at the Golden Lion is not very unreasonable— which is more than can be said for a jury at Aberdeen, who run up a bill of £ 11 between the hours of seven in the evening and ten of the morning following— or of a jury at Inverness, whose bill for toddy alone, for one night, was £ 8.— Alloa Advertiser. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 11, 1857. THE INDIAN MUTINIES, SIR COLIN CAMPBELL AT CALCUTTA. The following proclamation was issued on the 17th of August, by Sir Colin Campbell, to the troops in India :— " BY THE COMMANDBB- IN- CHIEP.— Her Majesty having been graciously pleased to appoint me Commander- in- Chief of the forces in India, in the room of the late lamented General tue Hon George Auson, and her Majesty having also beeu graciously ¥ leased to confer upon me the rank of General in the East ndies, I now assume the command of the army iu India. In doing so it affords me the highest satisfaction to find under my orders troops who have so fully proved themselves, in the recent arduous operations in the field, to be what I have ever known British soldiers iu every quarter of the globe— courageous, faithful, obedient, and enduring. I » former years I have com- manded native troops. of India, and by their side I have been present iu many battles aud victories in which they have nobly borne their part; and it is to me a subject of deep concern to learn that solders of whom I had been accustomed to think so favourably should now be arrayed in open aud defiant mu6iny against a Government proverbial for the liberality aud paternal consideration with which it has ever treated its servants of every denomination. When I join the force now in the field restoring order to the district disturbed by the disaffection of the army of Bengal, I shall, at the head of the British troops, and of those native soldiers who, though few in number, have not feared to separate themselves from their faithless comrades and to adhere to their duty, feel my old confidence that they will march to certain victory. I shall not fail to notice, and the powerful Government which I have the honour to serve will not fail to reward, every instance of fidelity and valour shown by the troops under my command. I call upon the officers and mea of both European and native troops zealously to assist in the task before us; and, by the blessing of God, we shall soon again see India tranquil and prosperous. " C. CAMPBELL, General, Commander- in- Chief. " Calcutta, August 17." The following letters will be read with interest :— DELHI. The following is from an officer in the camp before Delhi :— " CAMP BEPOBE DELHI, JULY 27.— Where the two roads to Kurnaul meet the enemy took up their first position, at a place called Badlee- ke- Serai, with sanu- bag batteries aud about 16 guns, some of them 24- pounders, and eight howitzers. We came on them ou the 8th of June, and got a tremendous pounding for about half an hour, till we stormed them wish the bayonet, when the mutineers fled. They are good behind guDs, but poor creatures at olese quarters. We then advanced unmolested, and took our position on a commanding ridge, the nearest point of Which is about 1,200 yards from tho Moree- gate, pitching our camp on the parade ground of the old cantonment, which is just out of reach of their shells. Our force was about 3,000 strong, and the pickets being more than 1,000 siege operations were out of the question. Only an assault remained ; but General Barnard could not make up his mind to assent to it, and so we waited for reinforcements, and are now about 6,000 strong. But our guns are still iu number and calibre quite unequal to a siege. We have two 24- pouuders ( captured), six 8- iuch howitzers, nine 18- pounders, and six 8- inch mortars. The enemy have an enormous arsenal, with 32- pounders, 24pounder3, 10- inch howitzers in abundance, and are limited only in artillerymen ; aud our troops are so worked that working parties cannot be procured. Taylor, at present second in command of Engineers, when he came and succeeded Laughton ( who was immediately sent away), recommended an assault. We were then about 5,500 strong. The General agreed. We were to escalade at the Cashmere and Moria bastions, and to blow in the Moree and Cashmere gates. The thing was arranged in detail for the 2d of July, but at the last moment old Sir H. Barnard held back. Baird Smith, who joined next day as chief engineer, urged it; but the next week we lost 450 men from skirmishes and about 100 from cholera, and then Smith acknowledged that the thing was too hazardous to be tried, for there are at least 15,000 or 20,000 men inside, and the city is enormous. Our present plan is therefore to hold our present position until reinforcements arrive from down country and the Punjab, and a proper siege train, and theu to commence a vigorous siege on the front between the Moria and Cashmere bastions. We shall have our first parallel about Ludlow Castle, and the place will probably fall iu about five days, for the enceinte is very simple. The fort will give no trouble. The left of the ridge ( our left) is bare and open, and, as the enemy used to occupy the broken ground in Metcalfe Park aud annoy us, we have taken possession of it, and our advanced picket occupies tho stables on the bank of the river. The right of the ridge from Hindoo Rao's to the Grand Trunk- road is very rocky and covered with thick wood, and its base is a dense mass of gardens and enclosures. Here have been almost all our fights. Our troops have been about twenty times engaged, sometimes very hotly. At first Hindoo Rao's house was our extreme right, and almost every day the enemy used to cross up the ravines on every side and attack the batteries there. There was, of course, only one re- sult, but in driving them out of the Subzemundee, and from our men not understanding ligfet infantry work, we used to suffer heavily. But our retribution was tremendous ; whenever our troops caught any of them in any of the gardens without their having time to bolt, they used to bayonet them to a man, and sometimes in this way 300 or 400 dead bodies have beeu counted round the position after one of these skirmishes. Now that our force has been augmented we have takeu possession ot the Sub- zemundee, and strongly fertitied the Serai. We have also placed a strong picket in and fortified the Pagoda down the hill, and have made snug breach work right round the hills. Our men are now so well protected and their position altogether so improved, that the mutineers have quite lost heart, and their attacks are becoming feeble' in the extreme now. Our only heavy loss arose from the impetuosity of our officers, who pur- sued the erie^ y on one or two occasions right through Kisseu- guuge to the open ground in front of the city, and so lost a number of men by grape from the walls. It has been hot fighting altogether— our adjutant- general killed, his successor and the quartermaster- general both severely wounded; the Guides, witn a complement of four officers, have had one Killed and nine wounded. The gallant little Ghoorkas are reduced from 440 to 216. Not a regiment of Europeans is more than 450 strong. Two generals have died. We have had one engineer killed, three wounded, one dead from cholera, and two inva- lided. On the whole tue troops have stood the exposure won- derfully, but there lias been a great deal of cholera. Every Bengal regiment is gone or is going. Iu some cases they have allowed their officers to escape ; in others they have mur- dered every soul. But retribution, let us hope, is coming. The Sikhs are faithful, and are being enlisted in numbers. Those here with us and the Ghoorkas have fought nobly." DINAPORE. The following is an extract from a letter dated Diuapore, August 18th " In my letter of the 2d I gave you the particulars, as nearly as I could at the time, of the unfortunate affair at Arrah. I am now able to state correctly that we had 47 killed and 31 wounded, but since then, I am happy to inform you, the 10th have had a glorious revenge. A detachment of only 200, composed of the men of the Grenadiers and No. 6 company, left this about a week ago, commanded by Captain Patterson, a flrst- rata officer, and with great caution proceeded through a dense jungle in the direction of a place called Jugdeespore, where the rebel sepoys had rallied after the thrashing Major Eyre had given theni at Arrah. The Rajah of Jugdeespore had joined the Dinapore mu tineers with a large force, aad had placed several guns in posi- tion. A despatch came in here yesterday from the major, an- nouncing that the place had been taken, and the muti- neers completely routed. The official despatch says the be- haviour of the men of the 10th was beyond all praise, and that they fought like ' demons.' The barbarous cruelties in fiicted upon their comrades at Arrah being so fresh in their recollection, it was almost impossible to restrain them. Major Eyre writes that nothing could exceed their rage— that they rushed upon the sepoys, and for nearly two hours fought hand to hand with ten times their number, killing 400 of them, and taking three of Koomer Sing's guns in great style. I knew the gallant 10th would do wonders when they got a chance, and & ley have given proof of that now, for it appears the sepoys opposed to our little band of 200 at Jugdeespore exceeded the number that escaped from Dinapore. This smart affair will be most gratifying to Colonel Franks, than whom there is not a braver and more discreet officer in the whole army. He will be savage when he hears of the I03S his regiment sustained by such bad management at Arrah. Had he been here that event never would have happened, because I am satisfied that he would have disarmed the 7th, 8th, aud 40th Regi- ments, and taken the responsibility upon his own shoulders. We want such men as Colonel Pranks here. I am glad he is coming out. He will be sure to be appointed to a • ommand. Major Eyre writes in high terms of Capt Patterson aud our other officers, and lias also brought into prominent notice the gallant conduct of some of our colour- sergeants. Our men served the sepoys after their fashion towards our un- fortunate men at Arrah, for they hung up the wounded and the bodies of the killed upon trees along the road— a mile and a half— and then proceeded on towards the palace of the rajah, where they found about 50 more of the scoundrels concealed, the whole of whom were shot down by the 10th men, who hung the bodies of the sepoys with their own blue shirts over the walls, and left them to wither in the sun. In this palace ( if it could be called one) two boxes of rupees were found, each con- taining about 4,000. The whole were divided among the men, who afterwards burnt the palace to the ground, as well as all the villages in its vicinity, aud killed a number of the people belonging to this Koomer Sing. The detachment is expected back to- morrow. In this affair none of the lOsh were kilied, only a few wounded. I wrote to you on the 15th, via Cal- cutta, but being anxious to inform you of our success, I send this at a venture, vid Bombay, and hope it may reach you. It is just possible that the official despatch may not arrive before this letter." MIRZAPORE. The following is from a gentleman in the Civil Service, dated Mirzapore, August 14:—" Our entrenohments are now com- pleted. I send you a rough plan, upon no sort of scale, but it will give you some idea of our position. We at present muster 135 souls, with provisions for a month, and all are told off to our respective posts. We have just had another gun sent us ( also a six- pounder), making two, with 500 rounds of ammunition, and we have bagged two small guns ( native) from the city, which carry a ball of l^ lb. I fear we shall not get any more troops, although it is reported we are to have to- morrow 180 more Euro- peans from Benares. The Dinapore mutineers are stated to- day to be at Almora, 36 miles from this. It is my opinion they will not venture here at all, their object being to get to Delhi vid Calpee; but, reinforced as we expect to be to- morrow, we can go out aud meet them. Pity we have not a few artillerymen. I do not think I exaggerate when I say that the north- west provinces and a part of Bengal are lost. We shall want 60,000 men ( Euro- peans) to reconquer it. It is to be hoped there will be no doubts expressed in England as to this fact, and act speedily. It will A be a startling thing for the English people to learn that the finest possession under the Crown is virtually out of their ' grasp. But let them consider, and they will admit that it is their owu fault; and when they remember that they have held a territory as large as Europe with some 24,000 men, at the same time maintaining an army of 100,000 natives, armed with the best weapons England could give them, and disciplined by English officers, they will cease to wonder at what has happened, and marvel that it has not occurred before; but I think I see iu this revolution the begin- ning of the end. Before six months have passed over us the natives of India will have learnt that but a very small atom of the power of England has been displayed in Iudia, and when this country is overrun with European troops they will find that the last days of their prejudices have begun. The few Europeans that up to this time have remained in India have been gradually and almost imperceptibly, by their example, working new con- victions in the rniwds of the natives. It is not very difficult to predict the result when the. number of Europeans is trebled. The natives, who are uow in the ascendancy, know that they have but little time to lose, and I believe that one reason for their bloodthirstiness is the knowledge that they cannot finally be successful. In six months the Hindoos will have learnt that the Mohammedans are not gentle masters, and they will be glad to assist a people under whose rule they are sure of advantages and good faith, which under a Mussulman Government they can never hope to obtain. They have been so long under our government that they have forgotten what the state of their forefathers was under the Moguls, Six months, as I have said before, will be sufficient to determine their choice, and there is no fear what the result will be. I do not suppose that the papers would agree with me as to our state out here, but the editors are not on the spot; they do not know everything that goes on, and everything which ( to any one who observes) points out the way the stream is running; they do not see the faces of the people— they do not see the faces of the Mussulmans, how they brighten when they hear of our reverses ; they do not see or hear the villagers when they refuse to pay their revenue pro- claim the ' Augreez Raj' * to be at an end. They do not see or hear all this, but those who are in conttaut aud daily com- munication with the natives, who pass them and hear their talk— those persons know tliat what I say is true. I have had myself four or five cases in which the prisoner has made public his opinion about our government being ended. If I had my way I would have hung those men, as they were our subjects aud guilty of treason. The dawk t both going and coming is so very uncertain that this is the last day ( 14th of August) I can venture to keep this letter. I still think we shall have no attack on our position. After the Dinapore mutineers are gone we * Augreez Raj— English rule, t Dawk— Post. have but a few native troops in this direction ; besides which it is about high time for the mutiueers to be fighting awong them- selves. All Behar is in insurrection. Is it not wonderful how the Sikhs are sticking to us ? It has been the saving of us here. Indeed, if the Sikh regiment who held the fort of Allahabad when the 6th mutinied, and for three weeks after, had mutinied also, the whole of this part of India would have been in the hands of the rebels. I think they deserve anything that can be done for them. To be sure they only do their duty, but where so many have failed those,* who ' stand firm' shine out all the more brilliantly by contrast. I am sure I wish the Sikhs had never been taken away from this place ; we should have been all sereue' then and cared for ' nobody.' " The following is from an officer of rank :— " CALCUTTA, AUG 23— We arrived on the 13th, and found Lord Elgin and General Grant here. Grant went back to Madras to- day, Lord Elgin goes to China by next steamer. All well here, and no fear but we shall soon see Jack Sepoy put down. Good news from Didhi, Agra, Cawnpore, Allahabad, and Benares. Delhi will fall when we get a siege train there; only 12,000 sepoys left in that city, we hear. The tide is turning iu our favour everywhere. I have got command of a Sikh regiment, and leave for the Upper Provinces as soon as a steamer starts. Grant wanted me to command the Volunteer Yeomanry Euro- pean Irregular Cavalry now raising, but I want to get up country quick, and R has taken the Yeomanry, only 160 strong at present, and to be 600. My jolly Sikhs are at present scattered, some at Raneeguus; e, some at Allahabad, & c; but I am to collect and organiie them on my way to Delhi with a brigade which leaves this in a few days. Sir Colin will soon take the field, and is going to rough it properly! "' Pewter plates and tin mugs, A camp bed and a horse!' Twelve 68- pounders and 400 sailors, under Peel, of the Shannon, have just left in steamers for the Upper Provinces, and every exertion is being made to floor the insurgents. I have advised that the disarmed regiments should all be sent to Saugor Island and kept there till they volunteer for China. One war steamer would guard them all at Saugor Island, and they could have rice to live upon, and shoot the tigers with greased cartridges. The Lucknow folks hold out well, and will, we trust, be relieved very soon. The Mohurrum is in full swing, and guards aud guns are placed in all important situations; but there will be no row, I think, and if there is the Mussulmans will get a Bound drub- bing. I saw Shere Singh this morning; he is very jolly, and de- lighted at the prospect of release. Calcutta is full of Europeans, ladies, & c. Lord Canning is acting exceedingly well, and every- body has confidence in him, except the press. H has made capital arrangements here for hospitals for the sick left by each European regiment ss they arrive and go on up country. H has great energy and forethought, and is a most valuable man here. There are very few indeed who see clearly what ought to be done as he does, and that in other departments beside his own. The are nearly all gone; some of the native officers are true. The whole Bengal army is gone, with only a few ex- ceptions, so we have a clean board to commence again upon. I remain, & c, ." PASSENGERS FROM INDIA. The Indus arrived at Southampton on Tuesday with the heavy portion of thfe Inaian mail. She has brought home about 150 passengers, many of whom are refugees from India. The scene presented by their friends meeting these passengers was one of overwhelming excitement. Many burst into a fiood of tears, and were deprived almost of the power of utterance. The Lady Mayoress of London, the Mayor of Southampton, Mr Alderman Andrews, and a number of ladies and gentlemen, went on board thy Indus to receive the refugees. Many of the fugitives were from Cawnpore, Allahabad, and other places in the upper provinces of Bengal. Numbers also have fled from Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta ill alarm. About 40 children have come home in the Indus. Amongst the passengers is Lieutenant Chapman, who was shot by the mutineers at Benares. A bullet went right through his cheek and carried away part of the roof of his aaouth; his speech is scarcely intelligible. He is quite a youth, not above 19 years of age. Another of the pas- sengers is Captain Montague, with his wife; he belonged to the Irregulars, aud was in command of a company of Sikhs ; he is injured in the shoulder and side. He belonged to General Havelock's army, and fought on the march to Cawnpore. Ho lost his two children through want and exposure while coming down the Ganges from Allahabad. He knew Nana Sahib, aud was present at a ball given by him at Cawnpore about a mouth b « fore the mutiny broke out. It was the most magnificent ball ever given at Cawnpore ; all the English were present, most of whom were afterwards mercilessly slaughtered by the scoundrel. Captain Montague and his wife left Cawnpore before it was cap- tured by the mutineers. The passengers say that almost the only man that escaped the massacre of Cawnpore has gone raving mad. This is an officer, a Mr Brown, who after he got away, suffered great hardships, and lay hidden in a nullah, without food, during three days and three nights. A Miss Goldie, a very beautiful young lady, was takeu by Nana Sahab to his harem, and is believed to be alive now. A lady named Csllett came home in the Iudus, who escaped from Allahabad ; she was one of those who got into the fort at that place for safety. Many of the ladies who have come home in the Indus have their husbauds now before Delhi, and scarcely expect to see them again. When the passengers in the Indus left Calcutta only three thousand troops had arrived there since the outbreak. Unless Captain Peel makes his way up the river very quickly, aud before the rains cease, it is scarcely believed that he will get his guns up to Delhi; but if he caunot carry his guns beyond Allahabad he will, it is expected, push on for Delhi without them. Should the water carriage fail, it would be ex- tremely difficult, on account of the badness of the roads, to con- vey such heavy guns ( one of them an 84- pounder) to Delhi by laud. Between Cawnpore and Lucknow there were about thirty- five thousand mutineers, a> id it is considered doubtful whether Sir J. Outram will be successful in passing tip the Gogra; the river is lined with forts well manned with mutineers. Outram's advance, however, up the Gogra will, it is hoped, draw off the mutineers from Havelock, aud enable hisu probably to escape from the dilemma in which he is placed. No fear is entertained but that the Sikhs will prove true to the English in fighting against both Mohammedans and Hindoos ; but unless English troops arrive out soon in India, the Sikhs may, after they have put down the sepoys, turn against the English. Nana Sahib has resolved not to fall alive into the haudsof the English. He has a body- guard, who are engaged to deprive him of life should he be likely to be taken prisoner by the English. It is believed by mauy persons at Calcutta that as soon as the English troops arrive out in India the. mutiny will suddenly cease. The sepoys will bury the money and treasure they have obtained, aud lay down their arms. They are in the utmost terror of the English soldiers. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. By the Peninsular and Oriental mail steamer Iudus, which arrived at Southampton on Wednesday, we have received South Australian papers to July llth. The legislative bodies, the Council and Assembly, were likely to be occupied, on re- suming their session, with several important questions, oue of them being that of the steam postal communication between the Australian colonies and England, and the conditional con- tract made by the Government of New South Wales with Mr Wetton, the agent of the Panama Company, by which Sydney has secured for herself the termiuus of that most important line of communication, trusting to her Parliament to ratify the con- tract thus entered into by the Executive, and to pass an act to authorise the subsidy Ministers had engaged for. This engage- ment on the part of New South Wales is presumed to be inde- pendent of the joint subsidy with Melbourne, in which the latter colony has invited also the co- operation of South Australia. The postal matter in the Adelaide House of Assembly stands de- ferred till the resumed sittings on the 21st instant, in the expectation of a communication from the home Government on the subject. It is theu seriously to be debated and settled whether an independent line is or not desirable, and whether the union of postal and immigration is feasible. There is also a Waste Lauds Bill, which, having passed the House of Assembly, will come before the Council, and by which, in order to enoou- rage the development of pastoral resources, the discoverer of such lauds is to be permitted to occupy them for fourteen years, on favourable terms, and that without previous purchase by auction. All moneys are to be paid to the general account of the revenue, instead of, as heretofore, to an immigration fund. A question of privilege, relating to the Surveyor- General, has also to be dealt with. A bill legalising marriage with a de- ceased wife's sister has passed both houses of the Legislature, and has only to be transmitted for the royal assent. The Go- vernment has promised to introduce an Education Bill, and other measures are contemplated. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE HEALTH OF LONDON.— In the week that ended on Sa- turday ( October 3) the number of deaths registered in London was 1,087. The deaths from diarrhoea were 79. In the previous week they were 83. There were no deaths from cholera among adults, bnt two cases of infants who died of choleraic diarrhoea are referred to this head. Last week the births of 916 boys aud 849 girls— in all 1,765 children— were registered in London. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 868inches. The mean temperature was 58' 4 deg, which is 4' 6 deg above the average. The mean daily temperature was more or lees above the average throughout the week. The wind was generally in the south- west. No rain fell except on Monday, when the amount was 0' 17. 14,259 persons died in the quarter that ended September the 26th. The number exceeds by nearly two hundred that of the same period in 1856; but if diarrhoea had not prevailed more in the past summer than it did in 1856, other conditions being unaffected, the present returns would have indicated a superior degree of health. In the last three summers the total deaths were ( taking them in the order of time) 13,042, 14,966, 14,259 ; and the deaths from diarrhoea were 1,258,1,610, 2,343. The in- fluence of a particular disease in raising the total mortality, which would otherwise be stationary or depressed, is palpable in these numbers ; and a like increase is traced in the deaths attributed to complaints of a kindred character, and to some sporadic diseases affecting the alimentary system. Dysentery was fatal in the three summers to 46, 73, and 84 persons; cholera to 146,131, aud 177 persons. The uuusual heat experienced iu the first months of the quarter, co- operating with exigencies that are more under control, has perhaps been mainly efficacious in producing these results ; but with the knowledge that cholera has been lately infesting parts little removed from our coast it may be conjectured that the epidemic virus extended itself in a milder form beyond She immediate field of action, its advance in force being only a question of time and opportunity. The speculation may be futile, but the facts must be admitted, and supply a more than sufficient motive for preparation. FEATBICIDE IS LIVERPOOL.— On Sunday night a most un- natural murder was committed in Trow bridge- street, Liverpool, At No. 48 in that street lived a f* iaily named Jones, butchers, consisting of the mother, Elizabeth Jones, a daughter, and three men, Robert Jones, the deceased, aged about 40, William Jones, aged 38, and a younger brother, uamed John. On Satur- day night week, while William and the deceased were at supper, about half- past eleven o'clock, they quarrelled, when William Jones drew his butcher's sheath knife, a formidable weapon, and stabbed his brother in the left breast. The younger brother, John, entering at the same moment, saw the wound inflicted. Cries of " Murder!" were raised, and police- officer 29, who was on that beat, came in. He found Williaru Jones in the passage with the knife still in his hand, and in answer to his question he said that that was the weapon with which he had inflicted the wound. Officer 211 ( Dixon), who accompanied officer 29, took the prisoner to the Bridewell; aud the deceased, who was lying at the bottom of the stairs, apparently dead, was conveyed by officer 29 to the Infirmary, \ vher § Dr Allen pronounced life to be extinct. The deceased was not a butcher himself, but drove a butcher's cart for a Mr Smith. Some time before the murder the deceased and the prisoner were at high words, the neighbourhood was thrown into disorder, and two officers had been ordered to remain near the house by ' * in- spector. They were, therefore, in the immediate neighbourhood when the blow was struck. The prisoner was brought before the stipendiary magistrate ou Monday. John Jones stated that when he entered the house his brothers were having high words. Tho prisoner appeared to have had liquor, but was not drunk. The deceased struck the prisoner, who immediately drew his knife, and after a little struggling stabbed his brother. Witness theu grappled with him, seizing the blade of the knife with his hand, which was severely cut in consequenoe. The prisoner was very much infuriated, aud witness had to run upstairs into the attic, or he believed that he would have shared the fate of his brother Robert, The prisoner has been committed for trial. THE ROYAL COSMOTHECA, BELL- STBEET, PADDINGTON.— The neighbourhood of St Marylebone and Paudingtou has been for some weeks aroused from its usual sombre aspect by the erection of a large and spacious hall, capable of holding near a thousand people. Mr J. H. Cave has erected the above building at his own expense, for the instruction and amusement of the workiug classes, aud it beiug under the patronage of the borough members of Parliament, Sir B. Hall, Bart, and Viscount Ebring- ton, it is to be hoped that all those who can spare a few hours of an eveniug will avail themselves of the opportunity. The pro- gramme of the evening's entertainments consists of panoramic views from England to the seat of war in India, with musical accompaniments and songs, likewise the Ombre vivans, and a splendid diorama by Danton, of Jerusalem by day, and its destruction by night, with explanations and descriptions by Mr Brunsdon. The amouut of admission is so small as to bring it within the range of every working man and his family. A paragraph having appeared in a Cambridge paper describing a serious accident as having happened to Mr H. R. Stevens, veterinary surgeon, late of Newmarket, we are happy to be able to give a flat denial to the entire paragraph, as to our knowledge neither Mr nor Mrs S. have met with any accident whatever. UNITED STATES. EXTENSIVE BANK FAILUBES.— The letters by the last Ameri- can steamer, while they show that the panic has assumed pro- portions which the most timid had failed to contemplate, contain nothing to alter the view that fright alone is the main cause of the daily ruin, aad that there is nothing iu what is uow passing which will for any length of time interfere with the business or cripple the natural resources of the country. The extent of disaster, however, is most extraordinary, especially at Phila- delphia, which at oue time disputed with New York the claim to be considered the financial centre of the Union. Here nearly all the banks have suspended, including three whose aggregate capital amounts to £ 800,000. The chief of these is the Bank of Pennsylvania, founded more than sixty years ago, and which has for some time conducted the business of the Government, payiug the dividends on the State debt, & c. Its capital was £ 375,000 ; its note circulation, £ 170,000; and its deposits, £ 390,000. The next is the Girard Bank, an institution of scarcely inferior standing, and which enjoyed the account of the city corporation Tho capital in this ca^ e is £ 250,000, and the circulation nearly £ 100,000. The third is the Commercial, with a capital of £ 21) 0,000, aud a circulation of £ 52,000. The Merchants' Bank and several others had also stopped, and when the mail left the impression was that iu the general rush the remainder would be forced to a similar step. At Baltimore concerted action seems to have been renolved upon at once, and it is probable that the simultaneous stoppage will be found in the end greatly to have lessened the mischief for all parties. Tho mercantile failures at Philadelphia had almost all occurred before the banks went down. They had been exceedingly numerous, and as a large number were among importers or European goods some heavy losses must necessarily fall on shippers from England and Fratioe. Theliabilities of Caleb Cope and Co, an old- established silk firm, are stated at £ 140,000. Those of Richard Pattorson and Co., a sugar house, would also Drove large, and were likely to cause embarrassments at New Orleans. The names of the other firms are too numerous to detail. Meanwhile at New York there had been no great increase of pressure. Several additional failures had taken place, but they were not of re- markable magnitude, and the banks during the week had been strengthened by an increase of £ 270,000 in their stock of bul- lion, notwithstanding their loss of £ 400,000 by the Central America. At Cincinnati and other places in the west there was likewise comparative steadiness. A report at New York that the Chicago, St Paul, aud Fond du Lac Railway had failed to provide for their floating debt of £ 300,000, and had made an assignment, had beeu contradieted. Tne Delaware, Lack a wan a, and Western Railway, wish a similar floating debt, had, how- ever, been compelled to take that course. The committee of investigation of the Michigan Southern Railway had issued a report stating the capital of the coucern to lie £ 2.000,000, its bonded debt £ 1,400,000, and its floating liabilities £ 350,000. At the meeting of the shareholders of the New York aud Erie it was anuouuoed that the floating debt is about £ 500,000, aud a committee was appointed to confer as to the measures for rais- ing a loan to pay it off. Estimates were given of the working of the line for the current year, commencing the lst of July, to show that 3} might be expected to be realised as dividend upon the capital stock of £ 2.200,000. The Bond debt is £ 5,000,000. Several railway companies were arranging uniform measures of economy and reform, and also in some cases an increase of their tariff. THE TOTAL LOSS 0E THE CENTRAL AMERICA AND FIVE HUNDRED LIVES. In our Town Edition last week we announced the total loss of this vessel. We have since received American papers with full details. The Neiv York Herald of September 22d says—" On Saturday last, the 12th iust, the United States mail steam- ship Centra! America, Capt Herndou, bound to New York, with the Pacific mails, passengers and crew, to the number of some 625 persons, and treasure to the amount of over two millions of dollars, foundered in a hurricane off Cape Hatteras. TheCentral America was due at thin port on Sunday last. 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 580. Ou Tuesday, the 8th inst, the Central America, in company with the Empire City, left Havana for New York, and up to the evening of tnafc day they were in sight of each other, but towards night the Central America out- distanced her companion. On the following evening a heavy gale set in from the north- west and continued without inter- mission until Saturday, the 12th inst, when it increased to a perfect hurricane. This was disastrously experienced by the Empire City; the Columbia, bound from this port to Charleston ; and the Southerner, bound hence to Savannah. The effects of the storm on these ships we have already pub- lished. It is supposed that when the ill- fated Central America met the full force of the gale she was about 50 miles ahead of the Empire City, aud about 150 miles to the west of the island of New Providence, between that island and the American coast. It is supposed by Mr Roberts that the Central America must have broken her machinery, and drifted up the Gulf Stream. Her regular distance from the coast is about 75 miles wheu run- ning on her usual course. There is little doubt that the hurri- cane had a circular motion— or was, in fact, what is commonly called a whirlwind, Prom the direction it took, it is probable that the Central America was caught in the very centre of the whirl. The outer edge of the whirlwind doubtless struck her on Wednesday, the 9th, the time which the Empire City first experienced it, and from that time until Saturday, the 12th, she must have gallantly battled with it, until the centre reached her, and she could no longer hold out against the terrors of this awful phenomenon. The extent of the gale must have been con- siderable, for the Cuuard steam- ship Persia experienced a heavy touch of it on Friday, which literally swept her decks, though her course was a good deal to the northward of the track of the Central America aud Empire City. Its fury reached as far south at least as Wilmington, North Carolina, where consider- able damage was done to the shipping from Friday to Sunday, and vessels continue to arrive daily at this aud other ports with the effects experienced! n that terrible gale. The Central America was considered a very staunch aud good seaboat. She was built in this city in the year 1853, by William H. Webb, called the George Law, aud made her first voyage iu September of that year. Her construction was of the very best description. She was diagonally braced with iroii stem to stern, and was iu all respect* as staunch and safe as any ship afloat. In the month of July last she went upon the balance dock and was thoroughly overhauled. Her engines and boilers were at the same time put iu perfect order, ana the voyage upon which she was lost was the second since her repair. Her ton- nage was 2,600, carpenter's measurement. She had two marine engines, each 65 inches diameter of cylinder and 10 feet stroke. Her engines weiv built at the Morgau Iron Works, and her last repair was at the Allaire Wrorks. There were on board of her ' six life- boats, two of which were Francis's metallic boats, and / four with the patent air- tight tubes attached. Each one was ! capable of holding 50 passengers. There were were also be- tween 500 and 600 life- preservers ou board. Her captain, Com- mander Herndoa, of the United States navy, was a most prudent and efficient officer, equal to any emergency; and it is satis- factory, at least, to know that no danger which skill or fore- sight could ward off would have resulted so disastrously to the unfortunate vessel. The Central America was not insured, and the loss to the company cannot fall far short of 250,000 dollars." The same paper publishes the ensuing particulars:—" We are indebted to Mr C. H. Denison for the following interesting statement:—' The Empire City, Captain John M'Gowan. left her wharf at Norfolk, Va, at half- past ten a. m. on the 18th, for this port. She had been victualled and coaled during the pre- vious two days, for a thorough cruise in search of the missing steamer, Central America, of whose ultimate safety, however, none on board felt any misgiving. But ou the day of departure, at five a. m., a pilot boat came up from outside, anchored in the stream near us, aud we were soon boarded by a gentleman, one of four passengers, who electrified us with the announcement of the total loss of the Central America, foundered at sea at eight o'clock on the evening of the 12th inst, during the late severe gale, carryingdown with her most of her officers aud crew, nearly 400 passengers, and about 1,800,000 dollars iu treasure. Our informant had been picked up during the night of the dis- aster, floating oil fragments of the wreck, together with forty- eight others, by the Norwegian bark Ellen, Captain Johnson, from Balize, Honduras, bound to Falmouth, England, which vessel he reported then coming up the lower bay in tow of a small steamer. We likewise understood that all the women and children, some ef the latter infants, 56 iu number, had been saved in the steamer's boats before she sunk, and placed on board the brig Marine, of Boston. Sir, said my informant, with death yawning before them, the men ,> tood solid as a rock, nor made a movement for the boats until the women aud children had been all safely transported to the brig, after which about forty of the crew and male passengers in a few trips reached the latter vessel before the steamer went down.'" THE LOSS OP A RUSSIAN VESSEL OF THE LINE AND 826 LIVES. The Journal of St Petersburg of the lst contains the fol- lowing account, communicated by order of the Minister of Marine, of the recent loss of a vessel of the line, the Lefort t— " It has pleased Providence I should participate in one of the greatest disasters that can happen at sea, and to make me a witness of the instantaneous and inexplicable loss of one of the vessels in my fleet. A few minutes have sufficed for a beautiful ship of the line, thoroughly seaworthy, to be engulfed by the waves during a tempestuous sight. Not a cry of distress reached us from the scene of the disaster, although we were but four cables' length distant to windward. No one survives to explain to us the cause of this unparalleled catastrophe. " On the 28th of August ( Sept 9th) four ships of the line— the Imperatrice Alexandra, the Vladimir, the Lefort of 84 guns, and the Pamiat. Asova, of 74 guns, which were in the port of Revel, received orders to arm and return to Cronstadt. Ten days afterwards the Pamiat Asova quitted the roads, towed by a steam- frigate. The three other vessels were ready to set sail two days later; they had water and provisions for a month, aud their stowage was the same as at the end of their cruise in t ie preceding year; the Lefort was thoroughly re- paired at Cronstadt in 1852. I had received instructions to profit by the favourable weather to set sail, without waiting for the steam- tugs. On the 9th of September ( 21st) I got under sail with beautiful weather and a favourable breeze from S. S. W., the barometer marking 29* 79 English. A little later the wind freshened, and abreast of the island of Rothskar we were obliged to take iu two reefs in the topsails. At half- past eight p. m., after passing the island of Hochland, the fleet was making more than eleveH knots. The wind increasing, I ordered a third, and then a fourth reef to be taken in. The barometer being at 29' 15, and the weather foggy, we sailed as close as possible to the wind, endeavouring to keep our course by short tacks, until moruing; each time I gave the signal for the manoeuvre. At half- past eleven the wind shifted to the west, at midnight to the N. W., and at four o'clock to the north, with squalls and snow. At daybreak we were near the island of Grand- Tuters. The fleet was on the starboard tack, the Imperatrice Alexandra a little to windward, and the Vladimir in the wake of the Lefort, with four reefs in her topsails. " At a distance of five miles from Tutors we veered. During our manoeuvre the Lefort appeared to us as if wishing to veer ; suddenly a violent squall laid her on her side. Though her sails were let go, she leaned over so much to larboard that we ex- pected her masts would go, but she continued gradually to lean over till she foundered in the short time that the Vladimir took to tack about. The keel of the Lefort appeared once, and was then swallowed up in the waves. " Exclusive of the commander and 12 officers, the vessel had on board 743 seamen, 53 women, and 17 children ; all perished. " This disaster took place on September 10 ( 22d), at 23 minutes past seven a. m., at 5i miles to the N. NaE. of the island of Grand- Tuters, at a depth of 30 fathoms." • THE TOMBS IN THE CBIMEA.— The Russian Government has informed those of England and France that Prince Galitziu, who some time ago was sent to the Crimea to inquire into the alleged violence done to the graves of officers, Killed before Sebastopol, has discovered that there was ground for the charges, aud that he had felt it necessary to inflict punishment on the offeHders, while precautions have been taken to prevent any such occurrences iu future. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE AND THE INDIAN RELIEF FUND.— Ou Thursday the officers of the M division of the metro- politan police took the initiative in subscribing to the Indian Relief Fund, and upwards of £ 10 was collected, and hauded over to Mr. Superintendent Branford, to be forwarded to the proper quarter. It is believed that the other divisions will follow this noble example. SEEVICES BOB THE DAY OP HUMILIATION.— Of the printed services appointed to be read on the day of humiliation, 1,000 copies were printed and prepared for the bishops and other dignified clergy of the Church of England ; 49,000 for the use of the parochial clergy. Of the copies taken off in a cheap form for public sale, 1,100,000 copies were sold, at the rate of 2s 6d per hundred to the trade, and 3s 6d per 100 to the clergy for dis- tribution. One adventurous speculator at the Crystal Palace purchased 4,000 copies, expecting to make a profit among Mr Spurgeon's audience, but was disappointed iu the result, and upwards of 3,000 have beeu returned by him to the Queen's printers. Of the other copies, specially prepared for the occa- sion, two were done up in black velvet for the use of the Queen and the Prince Consort, and one in black morocco for each member of the royal family. For the Prince of Wales was re- served the peculiar distinction of having one copy elegantly bound in black, with a translation into Welsh on the opposite MILITAEY INTELLIGENCE.

MOVEMENTS OP TROOPS — The Austria, with the 94th, sailed from Cork on Sunday afternoon for India ; the Great Britain, with the 8th Royal Irish Hussars and 17th Lancers, was ex- pected to be iu readiness on Wednesday or Thursday. The following are the officers who sail in the Great Britain :— 8th Hussars; Major Naylor ( iu command). Major Chetwode ; Cap- tains M'Naughton, Pa- reat, Henneags, Clowes, Penton, and Poore ; Lieutenants Massunden, Haines. Webster, Montague.

The following offioers of these regiments proceed by overland route, on the 20th, to join their respective regiments at the seat of war :— 8th Hussars— Colonel De Salis ; 17th Lancers— Olonel Benson, Captains Sir Wm. Gordon and Sir George Leith, and Mr Partridge, Veterinary Surgeon. The Cal- cutta has embarked the 51st who arrived from Dublin ; aud the Priticess Charlotte was hourly looked for to take out the head- quarters of the 18th Royal Irish, witti detachments.— The 17th Lancers left Dublin for Cork, by railway, at the early hour of five o'clock on Tuesday morniug.— Orders have been received at the Provisional Battalion, Chatham, for accommodation to be provided for the depot companies of the ISth ( Royal Irish), 33d ( Duke of Wellington's), and 98th Regiments, numbering about 300 officers aud men, who are now under orders to join the battalions at that garrison on the embarkation of the service companies of their regiments for India.— The steam transport Bahiaua embarked at Portsmouth on Saturday week the following officers and troops, com- prising the head- quarters of the 98th Regt. for Kurrachee :— Lieut- Col D.

The Bahiana went to Spi'head on Monday morning, and after taking iu her powder, & c, left for India. On Saturday week upwards of 100 recruits arrived at Chatham from London and the midland counties for the purpose of joining the Indian depots attached to the three battalions at that garrison. During the past few weeks nearly 1,000 recruits have joined the various Indian regiments at Chatham, aud arrivals are taking place almost daily. Considerable progress has been made in the in- struction of the young officers and troops now at Chatham, who are about proceeding to India, in the use of the Enfield rifle, and about 300 officers and men are daily under instruction luthe use of that weapon. ,. ,,.,.,. , . , .. THE MILITIA — The Leicestershire Militia has obtained its full quota of men, and now numbers upwards of 1,050. The regiment was quartered at Aldershott in the winter of 1855- 6, and remained there until the conclusion of the treaty of peace with Ru> sia. Both officers and men are anxious J, o be called into active service, and are prepared for any duty at the present crisis. The Roscommon Militia have volunteered for India without a single exception. It is believed that their services WTHE " CHIGH1' AND BOBDEBBEB."— The offer of service in In- dia made by the " Highland Borderers" has been approved at the Horse Guards. It now remains with tne War Minister to carry out the wishes of this gallant regiment. The regiment would muster 1,000 men.— Courant. WOOLWICH ABSENAL.— The rapid demanas now made for the supply of war equipments required by the East India Company have rendered it necessary to increase the establishment of Woolwich Arsenal to a considerable extent," the carriage depart- ment being raised to the same footing as during the Crimean war. No difficulty has been experienced in obtaining artificers and labourers of every class, and as soon as it became known that bauds were ordered to be taken on, the gates were thronged by upwards of 1,000 applicants. The following addition has been made ia the carriage department— namely, 680 labourers, 240 wheelwrights, 170 smiths and assistants, 110 carpenters, 80 Collar makers, 30 painters, and 12 tinmen— total 1,222, making, the aggregate number in that department, as during the Russian war, 2,500. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENTS OP SHIPS OF WAB.— The Renown, 91, new screw steam- ship, proceeded out on her trial trip of her machinery on Monday. Her average speed was 104 knots, by patent log. Her engines made 53 to 54 revolutions per minute with 201b pressure ; vacuum, 25£ to 26; pitch of screw, 29ft; diameter, 19! t; length line of keel, 3ft 6in. Her machinery iu every re- spect worked very satisfactorily— The newly- built 51- gun screw frigate Melpomene, recently launched at Pembroke, arrived at Spithead on Saturday Evening week, and has gone into Ports- mouth harbour to be immediately docked and equipped for com- mission.— The Diadem, 32,1,000 horse power, Captain Moorsom, C. B., deranged some of her machinery on Friday week, on her first trial, whicn prevented a satisfactory report of the result. She realised a speed of betwoen 11} and 12 kuots.— Irresistible, 80, at Chatham, wiiich has been ou the stocks a great number of years, is new ordered to be completed aud fitted as a screw steamer, with engines of 400 horse power.- Gaiinet, 10, screw Bteam sloop, uow iu the course of building at Pembroke Dock- yard, is rapidly progressing towards completion, and will be launched on the 2d of December, when she will be navigated to Devon- port, and placed amongst the steam reserve— Windsor Castle, 116, late the Victoria: Orders have been forwarded from the Admiralty for this vessel, now building at Pembroke Dockyard, to befitted with the auxiliary screw. Several hands are now engaged on her that the alteration may be completed as rapidly as possible, this vessel having been several years on the stocks. APPOINTMENTS— Lieuts H. Hand aud A. H.

OBITUARY.— Rear- Admiral George Morris ( on the retired list, 1846), died at Peterborough, on Sept 29, in the 79th year of his age. This distinguished officer saw much active service in the great revolutionary war with France, having entered the navy iu the year 1789, and was midshipman of the Audacious, 74, IU Lord Howe's action in 1794, where he lost a leg, at the early age of 16. Ha was promoted in Juue, 1796, and was second lieu- tenant of the Ardeut, 64, Captain Burgess, in Lord Duncan s hard- fought action off Camperdown, when his gallant captain was cut in two by a cannon shot, and the Ardent hada fourth of her ship's company killed and wounded. Rear- Admiral Morris was posted in 1812, aud was awarded a pension of £ 300 per an- num, iu 1816, for the loss of his leg. He was placed on the retired liat of rear- admirals, in 1846— Retired Paymaster Samuel H. Manley ( 1811) died recently; atFinehley, in the 73d year of hisage. CLIFFORD'S BOAT LOWERING APPAEATUS.— With a view to extending the use of Clifford's boat lowering gear in the naval service generally the Lords of the Admiralty have ordered models of the necessary fittings to be received at Woolwich, so that the system may be carried out iu her Majesty s ships, two remarkable cases of the efficiency of the system occurred on board the screw frigate Shannon, 51, Captain Peel; when under full sail, and with heavy press of canvas, the boats were lowered aud lives were saved without staying to round the ship to, or in any way slacken her speed, as m the case of the Transatlantic. What was looked ou as fool- hardiness in the inventor nine months since by naval men of any experience, when in the gale of January last he manned a boat with a full crew, and taking his place with them lowered it from just behind the padetlewheel of the steam- ship Dee, the vessel being then at full speed, has now become a matter of repeated practical application and utility, shown to be the mere result of simple mechanical principles. Mr Clifford lias exem- plified his principle some hundreds of times by being lowered from vessels of ail kinds at most of our seaport and dockyard towns from Aberdeen to Plymouth. COUNTY COUBT JUDGESHIP.— The Lord Chancellor has ap- pointed Mr M. Fortescue, of the Home Circuit, Judge of the Devonshire County Court ( Circuit No. 69), in the place of Air EXTBNSIVE SMUGGLING ON THE SUSSEX COAST.— CAPTUEE AND CONVICTION O « ? THE SMUGGLEES— On Tuesday Thomas Bruce and Henry Everett, of Portsmouth, and John Wicks, of Augmerinir, mariners, and Thomas Castleden Elliott, master of a vessel called the Intrepid, were charged before the magis- trates at Arundel with smuggling between sixty and seventy tubs of soirits with intent to defraud the revenue of £ 300. All the prisoners, except the master ( Elliott) pleaded guilty.— James Bishop, a Coast Guardsman on the Littlehampton service, deposed that about two o'clock on the moruing of the 24th ult he observed a boat with three men in it coming towards the shore. At this time between thirty asd forty men, whom he did not know, were hovering about the shore.— Mr J. D. Beach, master in the Royal Navy, and chief offioer in the Littlehampton Coast Guard Service, stated that he had a galley manned and put off to sea. After pulling about two miles from the shore they came up to a vessel of suspicious appearance, which they boarded. On it they found only the master ( Elliott), who said he was on his way from Portsmouth to Shorehara. Shortly afterwards they pulled up to a boat, which had the other three prisoners en board. They had with them between thirty and forty tubs of Geneva, and near the boat were floating from fifteen to twenty other tubs. They took all the prisoners, with the tubs, into custody. After some further evidence, it was stated that the tubs comprised thirty- eight of Geneva and twenty- six of brandy, all nearly fifty per cent overproof. The duty upon the same amounted to £ 300.— The bench sentenced the master ( Elliott) to nine months' imprisonment, and the other three to eight months each. The vessel and other property were con fiscated. MURDEE OP A WIPE AT ISLINGTON.— On Tuesday night a constable on duty iu Ball's Pond- road heard cries of murder in Dorset- street, and on going to the spot a woman staggered out from the doorway of No. 11, and fell. He caught her in his arms, and her head fell back, the blood gushing from a wound iu the throat extending nearly from ear to ear. She did not speak, aud died instantly. At the instant of the outcry another officer named Holliday, of the same division, ran to the spot, and received from the hands of a man in the passage of the house No. 11 a person holding a white- handled razor in his right hand. He was covered with blood— face, hands, and clothes— as was the weapon from blade to haft. The murderer was taken to the Kingsland station, where he freely admitted she was his wife, and, addressing Inspector Langdon, said—" I have knowD you some years, and wish to speak to you about this." He received the usual caution in such cases, but persisted in making a state- ment as follows :—" I had been to Peckham Rye with work, and took my wife with me. On returning I fetched beer and something for supper. Then words ensued between us, and then it was done instantly. It's a bad job ; she was a good wife and kind creature as ever lived or walked. I did uot do it." Wheu charged with the wilful murder of his wife he became very low and apparently thoughtful. Papers and letters found in his residence make it apparent that his wife was of re- spectable family iu Dorsetshire. He was by trade a carpenter, and they had only oue child, a female, about four years of age. A subsequent inquiry has elicited that the accused man tenanted the house mentioned, and had lodgers, uamed Stemp, who, on the sight in question, heard a quarrel between him and his wife, during which he used the words, " I'll do for you." They then distiuctly heard him leave the room aud enter another. After a brief interval he returned. A faint cry from a female voice fol- lowed. The street door opened, and then Mr Stemp, hastening down stairs, saw the wretched man standing, as described, in the passage, covered with blood. He instantly seized him; aud his wife following, was the person heard to scream " murder." The prisoner gave his name Thomas Robert Davis, thirty- nine years of age. Jealousy is assumed to be the motive for the fearful deed. On Thursday the prisoner was examined at Clerkenwell police court, and after hearing the evidence said he should reserve his defence. ALLEGED CAUSE © P THE SCAECITY OP GEOUSE IN THE WEST.— The scarcity of grouse in the West of Scotland this sea- son has been chiefly caused by an extensive system of netting the coveys, not for the market, but for conveyance to those moors in the north, which were thinned by disease. The net, which can cover a large portion of ground, aud is so fine that it can be car- ried in the pocket or hat, is spread over the heather when the dog points, and the birds that rise are taken. This accounts for what has frequently been observed by sportsmen in the West Highlands this season, viz, young broods unaccompanied by the old birds, as the " cheepers " are unable to rise, and thus escape the net. It is also the reason why so few grouse have appeared in the market, as the poachers are better paid for live birds than dead game.— Greenock Advertiser, THE BHAMALL MUEDES. The adjourned inquest on the body of James Henderson, farmer, of Bramall ( or, as it is otherwise called, " Bramhall"), Cheshire, who Was shot whilst in bed on Wednesday morning se'unight, was held at the Victoria Inn, near the Bramall station of the Macclesfield Railway. The coroner, Mr William Johnson, took his seat at ten o'clock. Tho jury was principally ootnposed of farmers, and Mr Marsland, a landowner in the neighbourhood, was the foreman. Mr W. P. Roberts, solicitor, Manchester, appeared for James Henderson, deceased's eldest son, who was present in custody. The police descripti m of the prisoner is— height, 5 feet 4 inches ; complexion, light; eyes, hazel, sharp, and deeply sunk in the forehead ; hair, saudy ; cheeks, very hollow. He was brought from the Stockport county lockups in a cab by Mr Superintendent Audrews and Mr Little, deputy constable of the Cheshire County Constabulary. A con- siderable crowd of country people, many of whom must have been known to him, were congregated round the door on his arrival, and ou alighting from the vehicle his lips quivered, and he appeared somewhat nervous. The township of Bramall is composed of scattered detached farms and cottages, and the population is about 1,800 in number. The scene of the murder is about three- quarters of a mile west of Bramall Hall, the seat of Colonel Davenport, the owner of the farm, which is an ancient brick and timber mansion, said to have been erected in the reign of Richard III. The jury room was exceedingly crowded with people, some of whom had come from Stockport, aud many of them from the village of Hazlegrove, which is only a oouple of miles east, and Cheadle, about the same dist ance west, of the township. The first witnesses were the farm servants of deceased, who deposed to their hearing two shots fired aud their being called up by the prisoner, James Hendersou. They stated that the prisoner and deceased never spoke together and never took their meals together. The most material witness was Mr Andrews, superintendent of police, who said : I received information of this murder between three and four o'clock in the morning of Wednesday last, the 30' h of September, aud went to the spot immediately. I met with the two brothers, James and Thomas Henderson, at the house. I had takeu Sergeant Cooper with me. I said, " You have had something serious here?" He said " Yes." I said, " Have they taken anything ?" and he said, " Yes ; they have broken open my writiug case, and takeu £ 14 10s in gold." The sitting- room door was open, aud I went in. James pointed to the writing desk produced, which lay open on the table. He pointed where the money was taken from, and he picked up the brass fastening, saying it had been broken from the writing case. We had a candle, but I made a slight examination of it only. I then locked the door, and brought away thefkey. In the passage I asked how the entrance had been effected, and James said that he had found the back door open, and that he supposed some one must have got in during the early part of the night, concealed themselves iu the cellar, aud after the family had gone to bed had let the rest of the gaug into the house. He said he had been up last, seeing ail the doors fast; that he went to bed about half- past twelve, aud thought he heard a shuffling noise, which caused him to turn several steps back, but all was then quiet, aud he went to bed. I examined the outside doors, but there wei e no marks of violeuce upon them. I did not then examine the front door. Myself and James and Thomas, and one or two officers, then went upstairs, and James pointed out a pane of glass on the landing that had been broken by his having shot ao a man he had seen standing on the stairs. I said, " Did you think you hit him?" He said, " Yes, for he uttered an exclamation as if he was hurt." I examined the landing where the man was said to have b > en standing, but could find no traces of blood. We then went to the next landing to James's room, and at my request he got the double- barrelled gun and showed me the po- sition in which he stood when he fired. I asked what was the very first thing he heard, and he said the report of fire- arms in his father's room ; upon which he said he jumped out of bed, seized a gan that was against the drawers, opened his bedroom door, and seeing the outline of a man against the window on the landing, he immediately fired at him. I said, " Did you not call out berore you fired, because it might have been your brother or some one of the family?" He said, " No, he did not." I asked what next took place, and he said he oould see a light from his father's room, but the moment he fired it was extinguished, and two men rushed out and down the stairs, and he believed from the noise there were two or three persons more outside the house. He said the feet of all the men were muffled. I then went into deceased's room. I found the deceased lying upon his back iu bed, with a severe wound on the face, the face blackened, as if from an explosion of powder, and I noticed that the fea- tures were placid, so that I formed the opinion that he must have been shot whilst asleep. His arms lay upon his chest, and were erossed. A table that stood under the window was Eointed out by the prisoner as the place where the old man kept is money. 1 found the top locked, and the table had no ap- pearanoe of having been disturbed. The room struck me as in a remarkable state of neatness and order, considering what I had heard had taken place. There was a piece of carpet by the bedside, which had not been disturbed. I then locked the room, and went to make inquiry at Stockport about a discharged man- servant. I returned about nine o'clock, in company with Messrs Graham and Son, surgeons, of Stockport, and called their particular attention to the position of the body, as to whether deceased had been shot whilst asleep. I th< u made a search of the bedclothes, and picked up about twelve pieces of paper on the body and bed, aud side of the bed, which appeared to have been used as the wadding of the fire- arms with wliicirdeceased was shot. They are blackened with powder and singed. They are now produced in the state in which I found them. They were in places where they might be expected co be found if a gun had been discharged at the deceased at or near the foot of the bed. I also produce two teeth found there. I then made a minute search upon the stairs where James had said the man stood that he fired at. I was assisted in this search by Sergeant Hammond, and we picked up a number of pellets that had been flattened with the discharge against the wall, and Sergeant Hammond picked up what appears to have been the wadding of the gun, and handed it to me. I afterwards found in the prisoner's bed- room, in the chamber pot, two pellets. Mr Little, the deputy chief constable, was then assisting me, and I saw him take from the chamber- pot the piece of paper produced, and took from the same utensil a spent cap. Upon the floor of the chamber I found a quantity of shot aud another spent cap. These I produce. Twelve of the shot or pellets, and twelve of the flattened pellets found on the stairs, I delivered to Mr John Graham, and saw him compare them with pellets he had in his possession ( taken from the body of the deceased) and weigh them together, twelve of each, and they were precisely of the same weight. Iu the dressiug- room table I found a number of publications, called The Cottage Girl; or, the Marriage Bay. A portion of one of these I now produce. The pages are 1,185,1,186, 1,199, and 1,200. On one of the pieces of wad taken from deceased's bedroom was the corner of pages 1,197 aud 1,198, the fourth figure of 1,197 being torn off. There is letter- press also on the piece of paper. I produce a perfect number of the same publication, com- mencing with page 1,185 and concluding with 1,200, which has been since purchased. Mr Roberts said he objected to this as not evidence. The coroner overruled the objection. Tho witness continued: It contains the whole of page 1,198, and, on comparing the pieces of paper I fouud in deceased's room with this perfect copy of the work, I find many of the same words on each ; and, on comparing the wadding found on the stairs, and the pieces of the paper found in the chamber- pot in prisoner's room, I find they contain the same matter as that on the lower parts of the same page. I exahiined the door of the granary and found the pieces of wood now produced, one being in the l » tch and the other at the bottom of the steps, picked up by police constable Smeaton. The prisoner was not at home at this time. Before I left the first time he said he was a cashier with a firm in Manchester, that it was of impor- tance he should go dowu there, as he had keys and books that would hinder the business. I told him thertf could be no ob- jection to his going, but desired him to get back as soon as pos- sible to assist in the inquiry. He returned iu the afternoon, and in a little time after 1 told him I should arrest him on the charge of committiug this murder. He said, " Iudeed, upon what grounds?" I said, " Grouuds of strong suspicion, aud you will be detained till the matter has beeu further investi- gated." He said, " Very well; I suppose I may speak to my mother?" I said he might; and he went to ask her to get him a cup of tea. He also took a handful of gold and silver from his pocket, which he gave into his mother's hands, but which I took from her, and found to be £ 7 10s in gold and 9s in silver, which he said he had had from his brother Thomas, and which the latter said he had given him to pay some bills. By Mr Roberts: I searched about the house that morning, and had several officers about and around the premises, making a minute search, during that aud the following day. My atten- tion was not drawn to any footsteps. Two days afterwards I heard there was a faint mark of a clog under the end of a window at one end of the house; but knowiug one of the servants had clogs on, I thought it of no importance so long after the murder. I noticed also two ladders thas were in the orchard to get fruit with. One of them would reacu the window referred to. From the quantity of blood which had flowed from deceased, I should say a person standing close by the side of the bed would be likely to be sprinkled with it. Deceased lay with his head on the pillow, aud from the mouth a stream of blood extended over the side of the bed and ou to the floor, where there was a pool of it, partly by the side of the bed and partly under it. By the Coroner : In deceased's waistcoat pocket, hanging at the foot of the bed, I found a key which opeued the table drawer, and there I found an order for £ 100 on the Bank of Scotland, a bank reeeipt for £ 93, and five sovereigns, and 9s in silver aud copper money. Iki oue of the pockets of deceased I also louud a shilling. A Mr Walker, who had known deceased and the prisoner, de- posed to conversations between himself and the prisoner, in which the latter had said his father was incapable of doing his business. He also said that he was perfectly mad, and he would have him locked up. He had seen marks of violenoe on the de- ceased inflicted by the prisoner. He then proceeded as follows : Ou Wednesday morning last, after the murder, the prisoner called upon me iu Manchester. He first called between nine aud half- past nine o'clock, but I had not then arrived, aud he came again shortly before eleven o'clock. I had then heard of the murder. When he came into the office he walked round the couuter to the window where I was stauding. He vtas then accompanied by another young man, named Matthieson, and I asked them to be seated. I said to the prisoner that I was sorry for the transaction which had taken place, and he replied that it was a sad thing or circumstance. I inquired if his father was shot, and if so, where; and, putting his hand to his right cheek, he said, " Through there." He Was next asked whether his father was killed with a pistol or a gun, and he answered " By a gun." I theu said, addressing the prisoner, " Now, sir, rest assured that the murderer will be found out; if man cannot, God will."* I mentioned the instances of Mrs Manning aud Rush, and said " Horrid murderers cannot escape," upon which he and the other young man got up and left. Previous to this, when the prisoner first came iuto the office, I asked him how the unfortunate occurrence took place, aud he theu said, " About two o'clock this morning 1 heard a noise iu the house, aud I took out my gun, because on Monday my father had a sale of cattle, and the auctioneer and other parties said there were many rough characters about; and, owing to the money that was tak « u ior the cattle, they might lay siege to the house at night. 1 then loaded my gun, both barrels, but as no party appeared that night, ou Tuesday morning, observing a few small birds ou a tree in the garden, I let fly at them, and brought down one, 1 then put the gun by in the corner of my bedroom ; aud on the Wednesday morning, about two o'clock, I heard a noise in the house, and got out of bed, and took nay gun and went to my bedroom door. By a darkish light from the window on ihe landing, I observed a man there six feet high, and I immediately put my gun to my shoulder, fired at him, and it struck him here ( pointing to the lower part of his right cheek). When he got the shot, he gave a great jump aud a loud screech. I then observed two men go down stairs, with their feet muffled, and I called to my brother Thomas, and told him there were robbers in the house." He further said that he knew the robbers had been into the cellar, because they had left the tap of the ale cask running. In speaking of his going into his father's room, aud finding him killed, he slid, " I shall not forget that sight the longest day I live." The deceased called at my office many times since March, and I had always looked upon him as a clever man, and perfectly capable of managing any farm, if he had his eyesight as he formerly had. After some further circumstantial evidence the coroner sumiaed up. The fact of the murder was undoubted, but as to the way in which it was committed there were two suggestions. In the first place it was suggested by the son James, that three or four burglars entered the house, broke open the writing- desk, and then proceeded to the old man's room. The statistics of crime in this country showed that the object of all burglars was plunder aad not murder, and that they never desired to commit bloodshed unless for the purpose of personal protection or of securing booty. In this case it was suggested that the burglars had broken open the writing case, but, considering its lightness, it was more probable that they would have taken away the case altogether. Under any circumstances, they would not have taken the trouble to break open the lock, when it wns actually unlocked. The murder of the old man, when asleep, was most inconsistent with the supposition that it was the act of burglars. It was most extraordinary that the table in which there was so much money, as well as the deceased's clothes, in which there was a shilling, had not been touched. It did not seem likely that burglars would have deliberately committed an act which would at once have alarmed the whole house, and still less likely was it that a man would have stood on the stairs after the report of the gun, The other suggestion— the very mention of which almost made ene shudder— was that the old man had beeu murdered by his son James. This involved a charge of such a serious natnre that he ( the coroner) deemed it his duty to read over the whole of the evidence relating to it. This he did at great length, commenting upon it as he proceeded. Shortly after half- paot nine o'clock the jury retired to con- sider their verdict; and they returned after an absence of about half au hour. Their names having been called over, the foreman ( Mr Charles Marsland) said, " We find James Henderson guilty of the murder of his father." The coroner inquired if they were unanimous in their verdict, and the foreman replied I hat they were. The coroner then issued his warrant, for the committal of the prisoner, and the witnesses were bound over to proscute ut the next Cheshire Assizes^ MURDER AT BIRKENHEAD.— On Sunday night week, abou^ eleven o'clock, Police- officers Clark ( 6) aud Graham ( 33) were ou duty in the neighbourhood of the Dock Cottages, Birken- head, when a labourer, named John Dunn, came to them aud said he had been stabbed by one of three other labourers, with whom he and a frieud of his, named Johu Drury, had been drinking at the Now Dock Hotel, in the neighbourhood. He said they were on the most friendly terms until they were enter- ing the avenue forming the access to the cottages, when he was stabbed by one of the men, and Drury was also robbed. Gra- ham, putting his haud to Duun's back, found a hole in his coat. Heplac dhis finger in and felt a wound. He called assistance, and- Dunn was removed to the hospital. The officers in tne meantime went to the cottages, where they fouud the body of Drury near, lying in a corner in a pool of blood, with severe wounds iu she left jaw, iu the region of the heart, and under the ribs of the right bide. A large stone and a pocket- knife, with the blade stained with blood were lying near the body. From information received from Duuti the officers proceeded to No. 7 block of the. cottages, where they apprehended Francis Smith, John Smith, and Peter Gallighau, all in oue bed, partly dressed, with their clothes stained with blood ; and ouo of the men had a cut ou the Inoid. The deceased had a wile and two children at Preston. A dispute upon theological questions is said to have given rise to the quarrel. The prisoners were brought before the Birkenhead magistrates ou Monday, and remanded. The parties, when leaving the public- house, are said to have beeu on perfectly friendly terms with each other ; and the quarrel in which the usifortunate man was murdered must have commenced atid ter- minated in a very short time. It has trinspired that the de- ceased was first struck ou the head with a stone, and then stabbed in the left breast. A large bowie- knife, the blade measuring four inches, pointed at the end and covered with blood, was discovered on Sunday near the body, and is supposed to belong to Francis Smith, one of the accused parties. Au in- quest has been held, at which a deposition niahe by Dunn, who is in a precarious state, was read. It was as follows:— I was at Seward's public- house on Sunday evening. There were some ef Messrs Thompson's drivers there; there were several of them. 1 left at about ten o'clock. I can't say if the prisoners were there. I know them by sight, but I don't remember either of them being there. I k:-; ow the prisoner John Smith well. I had got a little way towards my lodgings in the Dock Cottages when I saw two or three men running into one of the avenues of the Dock Cottages. I went up to them and saw about four men striking one another. They all appeared to be striking each other. One of them was down. The man who was down lay quite still, but I saw no blood. Two of the men were inside a doorway, and one outside. They were all fighting together. Those three men were part of the four I first saw. The two inside were fiKhting with the man outside. The man I first saw was still ijiug near the doorway. I went up to the door to see what was the matter. Wheu I got near, one of the two men inside the doorway rushed at me and struck me a blow on the left side, as I thought, with his list. I then went away out of the avenue and felt the blood coming. I then met pulice- coustable Clarke and another policeman. I told him that I had been stabbed. I saw the face of the man who stabbed me, but uot sufficiently to enable me to know him again. He had white trowsers on, and I think something of a dark jacket. I cannot tell what he had on his h ead. 1 cannot say what kind of a man the other man was. I saw no n ore of the row, and was brought to the hospital. I do not know a man named John Drury ( the deceased). I may know him, but not by name. There was no quarrel at the public- house when I left, and I believe t ity were clearing out. I recollect telling the policeman I would show him the house where the men were when I was stabbed. Before I left, to be brought to the hospital, I pointed, for the police, down the avenue in the direction of the house where I was stabbed, when one of the policemen went iu that direction and the other remained with ine. 1 cannot tell how mauy doors down it was where I was stabbed. When I came out of the public- house I turned to the right, and I do not know which block it was in which I heard the noise, but as I went into the avenue the row was on the right- hand side. I do not know how many doors it was in the avenue, but I had passed a corner. When I met the police constable I was on the road from the church to Seacombe.— A verdict of Manslaughter has been re- turned against the three prisoners. MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT BOLTON.— About eight o'clock on Thursday night week, a man named Aaron Taylor, a besom maker, residing in a cellar iu Velvet- walks, Great Bolton, Lancashire, committed a most dreadful murder ou bis wife in a public street. For several days past Taylor had been drinking, leaving his wife and three children wanting food. At the time stated she went to the vaults of Mr Blake, in Deansgate, and there found him drinking. On asking hi. vi for money to pur- chase food, words ensued at the vault door, and in a fit of pas- sion he pulled out a knife used by him for cutting " ling," and gashed her throat, the knife cutting her mouth aud inflicting a wound from the mouth to the back of the ear, severing the jugular vein. He then ran away, but the woman had sufficient strength to cry out, " That's the man ; stop him." The gash inflicted was a most fearful one. She was imoiediataly removed to the infirmary, but life was extinct before she arrived. The murderer attempted to escape, but did not get many yards be- fore he was apprehended. He attempted to destroy himself with the same knife, and inflicted a serious wound on his own throat, but the injury was not sufficient to destroy life. He was also removed to the infirmary, where he now lies in a precarious state. The murdered woman had her infant child, about six mouths old, in her arms at the time of the catastrophe. SUPPOSED SUICIDE ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. — On Wednesday night, shortly after ten o'clock, a frightful death occurred on the line of the Eastern Counties Railway, under very misterious circumstances. The deceased is a man of respectable appearance, apparently about thirty years of age, and just as the 9: 20 p. m. train from Norwich was approaching Ponders End station, the engine driver saw the deceased walking in the direction of London between the rails. The alarm whistle was sounded by the engine driver, and every effort used to make the deceased hear, but he . never turned round, wheu the train forced him down upon the rails, and the carriages passed over his body, which was shockingly mutilated about the head and legs. The unfortunate man died iu a few minutes. MrVaughau, the coroner's officer, examined the body. Deceased was severely ruptured, wore a truss, and had in his pockets tiiree shillings in silver, a comb, and two keys. He was dressed in a black frock ooat, with a buff moire antique vest, Oxford mixture trowsers, and Wellington boots. A slip of paper, on which were a few lines, evidently written by a female, was found in his pocket. It was as follows:—" Percy- street.— Dear Henry: I hope you are quite well. Pray come and see me on Sunday morning next. In haste, yours sincerely, ELLEN." ROBBERY BY A POLICEMAN.— On Saturday morning week one of the recently appointed police officers of North Shields was apprehended by the superintendent and lodged iu one of the cells, on a charge of having committed au audacious street rob- bery. His naH, e is Robert Brown, and he came iuto the force about two weeks ago, with a very excellent character. It seems that a seaman named Wm. Hoskins had been locked out of the Sailors' Home, aud had fallen in with the officer Brown. Brown had taken him to the Night and Day public- house, but the land- lord could not give him quarters, and the sailor had subse- quently turned on to the New Quay, where be fell asleep. He had been awoke during the night by feeling some one taking the handkerchief off his neck, and then discovered that the officer Brown was robbing him ; and some little time afterwards, upon coming to his senses, for he had been tipsy, he found that his pockets had been rifled by the policeman of his purse and money, a ring, and several other articles of property. As soon as the superintendent heard or' the robbery, as wo have said, he appreheiaded Brown, who has admitted his guilt to him. As Brown has beeu very attentive to drunken men since he came into the force, and had got the name of " an active officer" in that respect, it is not improbable but he may have eased some others of their superfluous cash, whs have been found in a similar predicament to the sailor. He was remanded, MANSLAUGHTER.— On Monday merning an inquest was held at the White Lion Tavern, Vauxhall, on the body of Eliza Welch, aged 37. Her husband, Henry Welch, a stoker, em- ployed at the London Gasworks, Vauxhall, supplied her with money on Saturday, the 19th of September last, but on his return home, some time afterwards, he could uot find her, and the children were crying. About half- past twelve o'clock at night he discovered his wife outside a betr- shop, opposite the Black Dog Tavern, in a state of intoxication. After getting her home he was seen by a man named Andrews, a fellow looger, to give her a blow ou the side of the head with the open hand, and she fell from the chair on which she w* s sitting, striking her head against the side of the door. The man Andrews lifted her up, and she complained that her eye was hurt. She died on Friday week. Mr Thompson, surgeon, who opened the head, gave it as his opinion that death arose from a rupture of one of the vessels of the brain caused by violence. The jury returned a verdict ef Manslaughter against Henry Weloh. THE COALWHIPPERS.— The coalwhippers refuse to " whip" coals, except at the advanced price of 9d a ton. The office has kept open to engage hands at 7d, but none have beeu employed at that price through the office. About thirty gangs were em- ployed on Wednesday morning, mostly through public- houses, at9d; but there are a number of ships in the pool lying idle, and there are many coming up. It is stated that terms have been offered to the men to sign at the office for the 7d, and that the ship would give them the extra 2d, which they declined; but the men assert that they are bound by the price they sign for, and that they could get no other remuneration. The ship- masters frequenting the office complain of this unfortunate dif ference having been brought about by the men who were em ployed privately ( not through the office) by one or two of the Coal Committee, Notwithstanding the pledge to the Board of Trade, " they intended to promise, and now do promise to give to that office a preference in the hire of such labour as they are at person compelled to engage at the existing office, they hope that the coalwhippers will on their part so support the new office, and so conduct themselves that the preference and good- will which the undersigned now engage shall be given to it at its outset will be secured permaaeutly to it by the advantages it will afford to all parties," which was signed by 27 shipowners, coal merchants, & o— one of the gentlemen had his vessels dis- charged through his own private office. His men refused to work for the price given them, 6d, and " struck for 9d," and this led to the claim of the whole body for the advance. It is also stated that another evtensive shipowner of tho north, who, it is alleged, signed the promise, has not sent a ship to the office since it has been established— 14 months. THE COST OE DRESS.— Ladies who used to dress handsomely on £ 30 a year, now find that sum insufficient for their gowns alone ; and middle- class young ladies, who have hitherto been satisfied with £ 20 a year, are uow driven to their wits' end to keep up with the mode at all; and they have recourse to cheap showy silks that will not last, or light gauzy materials requiring a style of petticoat which makes the dress a costly one after all. Maid- servants, who have before deposited something in savings' banks every quarter, now feel morally compelled to buy twice as many yards as formerly for their gowns, " It is but nine- pence a yard," the mistress says, when the gown is a print; but the gowns are not all prints ; and if all require eight or ten breadths in the skirt, the difference at the end of the year to a girl whose wages are £ 10 or £ 12, is not small. Even the cheap print gowns require so much making, and are so troublesome to wash aud iron, that the custom is a tyrannous one to those on whom it weighs least. As for the most numerous order of its victims— that of middle- class iadies— this year, 1857, will be a mortifying or disastrous one in the family history of too many households. The cost of dress has become so disproportionate to other items of expenditure, as to create serious difficulty in the homes of men of business, who have hitherto been able to provide their wives and daughters with whatever was noedful to a moderate complacency. The rich silks of the day, under their various names, of which every lady now thinks one at least abso- lutely necessary, cannot be had for a wife and daughters, with the prodigious trimmings, which are equally indispensable, un- der a less sum than would maintain a country clergyman, or half- pay officer and his family. The paraphernalia of ribbons, laces, fringes, aud flowers, is rrore expensive than the entire gown of ten years ago.— Westminster Review. ACCIDENT TO RICHAED MARBIOTT, ESQ.— We regret to state that an accident occurred in the fair field on Friday last, to R. Marriott, Esq, so well known in the hunting fields of Essex. It appears that the hon gentleman was standing in the fair field, in conversation with Sir J. Tyrell, Bare, when some horse- deal- ers' meH were showing two cart- colts, oue of which, swerving, ran violently against Mr Marriott, struck him on the face, threw him heavily to the ground, and fell headlong upon him. Both Sir John and Mr Marriott, jun, were also knocked down, but fortunately neither of them was injured. It was at once seen, however, that Mr Mariott had suffered severely from the shock. A great quantity of blood flowed from his nose, and the unfor- tunate gentleman immediately exclaimed that his arm was broken : and on being raised, and medical assistance obtained, this was found to be the case. The arm, which has been twice before broken, was set; the hon gentleman was removed home in the carriage of Thomas White, Esq, and we are happy to learn that he is progressing favourably,— Essex Herald, 4 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 11, 1857. SPOBTING CHEONIOLE. [ TOWN EDITION.] THE TURF. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, OCT 5.— Although the Room was numerously at- tended betting was uncommonly dull, the only horses in any demand for the Cesarewitch being Mons Dobler and Warlock, 100 to 15 being taken about the former and 20 to 1 and 18 to 1 so freely about the latter that at the closo 160 to 6 was the highest offer. 350 to 100 was taken about Mons Dobler and the Plush colt coupled. Both were likewise backed for the Cambridgeshire at our quotations. The only Derby transactions were upon Ethiopian ( one of Mr Gratwicke's lot), who was backed freely at 1,060 to 30 and 1,000 to 35- THURSDAY, OCX 8.— A very thin attendance, and scarcely any betting.

CHESTERFIELD RACES. Ma EDITOR : I am desired by the Chesterfield Race Co m mittee to contradict the report in your journal of last week re- specting the management of their past meeting. Mr Martin never took any management at all, nor did he 6ver evince any desire to assist them in the preliminaries until he knew the com- mittee had secured the able services of Mr Johnson, when he then wished to retain the office he had so peremptorily resigned. Mr M. was not required, nor did he do anything beyond his own duties as clerk of the course— as the chairman and the com- mittee gave their own directions for carrying out their meeting, and always intend to do so.— Yours, & c, Chesterfield, Oct 0,1857.

He was tbe breeder and owner of Intrepid ( wisner of the Chester Cup, 1845), Romance, and many others, but of late his colours were seldom seen on the Turf. He was highly respected, and his loss will be deeply felt'in the neighbourhood. WORCESTER AUTUMN MEETING.— The programme of this meeting will he found in our front page, and it will be seen that the principal stakes elbse and name on Tuesday next, the 13th inst. The Stockbridge Derby. 1859, did not fill. The Earl of Zetland and Sir Charles Monck have accepted the stewardship of the Stockton Meeting next year.

SIB : The Second October Meeting presents many congratu- latory features to the lovers of the Turf, not only en account of the brilliant acceptance which the handicap for the Cesarewitch has obtained, but for the number of Matches to be found in the list, which almost bring us back to the old times of Garryowen, Oakley, Celia, and others. The appointments are distributed with great fairness throughout the week, inasmuch as that there are five races and five matches for Monday, seven races for Tuesday, eight and three matches for Wednesday, six contests for Thursday, and seven and two matches for Friday, making altogether thirty- three races and ten matches, which latter may probably be increased during the week, when such patrons of that description of sport as Lord Glasgow, Admiral Rous, and " Mr F. Robinson" are brought in contact with each other. Monday's list includes two Plates ( one A. F., the other T. Y. C.), both of which, together with a T. Y. C. Handicap and a Sweepstakes, close the previous night. A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, D. M.-, has hair a dozen nomina- tions, and from the surprising improvement exhibited by Queen of the East last week, I see nothiag to beat her. Then follow the set of Matches, commencing with that be- tween Rhisus, 3 yrs, Sst 71b, and the Tadmor gelding, 2 yrs, 8st> which ought to be won by the former. Cruzada has to give 5lb to tbe Miss Whip filly over the T. Y. C., and I conclude will do it successfully. The Admiral, also, with Killigrew, I conceive, will find ho has not attempted too much in setting him to give 4lb to Heroine over the first half of the Ab. Mile. Between Turbit, 8st 81b, and Flimsy, 8st 4lb, R. M , there is little to choose, but perhaps the light weight may have the best of it at the finish. The concluding Match bet ween Saunterer, 9st, and Babylon, 7st, on the last half of the Ab. Mile, will be the most sporting one of the week, and no doubt large sums will be betted upon it. The course is Saunterer's own, and although Babylon has shown on more than one occasion that he possesses fine speed, I doubt that we shall see the " stripes and stars" victorious. Tuesday's list exhibits a trio of unfilled Sweepstakes, and a Selling Handicap, prior to our coming to the Cesarewitch, which, with the Clearwell, will monopolise the interest of the afternoon. The present Cesarewitch has been received with general appro- bation in all quarters, and although the advocates of the light system have avowed their satisfaction to find that at" head quar- ters" the range of weights varies from 9st3lb to 4stl01b, it should be recollected that the objection to the " feather scale" does not prevail so much at Newmarket, where there is room for any number of horses, as it does on circular courses. There is every indication that the field will equal, if not surpass, the largest ou record, selected from the following, viz :— Relapse Barfleur Dmty Miller Lima Martinet Aster Plush colt Rosati General Bosquet Saccharissa Humbug Queen Bess Neville Warlock Poodle Mary Melissa Commotion Pryor Ronzi Black Tommy Tasmania Fright Zigzag Mysterious Jack Fisherman Apathy El Hakim Prioress Mons Dobler Yandermulin Elcot's dam colt Poacher Renown Eloquence December Cedric Hamlet TROTTING. Mr Hillide, butcher, of Dockhead, Bermondsey, will trot Ms Norfolk horse against Mr Johnson's chesnut cob Peter, for from £ 30 to- £ 50 a side. Money. ready any day next week, at the Goat laa, Horselyciown, r Fisherman heads the list with the steadying weight of 9st 81b, and though flushed with recent victory over Poodle and Black Tommy at Bedford, I am loth to suppose that he will add to his laurels by winning this race. Neville ran respect- ably at York for an old herse that had been put by; but on this occasion I suspect he will'have to give place to another in the stable. Warlock is such a horse for a dis- tance of ground, and ran so well at Doncaster, giving great weights to the three year olds, that he is bound to be very handy now. With something to have made running for him, he would have given V6dette and Black Tommy more trouble than they actually experienced from him in the Cup; and although 8st lllb is a " steadier" for a four year old, I expect he will be very formidable. Poodle will be served by the length, and from all appearances the ground likewise, but he is rather too deficient in speed to finish, although he is certain to be in front. Mary reads well on paper, but it is whispered that the state of her legs is not what her owners could desire. Melissa was a tremendous " pot" before the weights came out, but has not since been heard of in the market; and after Commotion'scowardiceinthe StLeger who can trust him? The French mare, Ronzi, on dit, has done a good thing in private with Monarque, but the dressing which the latter received on Sunday week from Fisherman puts the merit of the trial on one side. Neither can I look favourably upon the chances of the American pair after the recent running of Pryor at Leicester, and Prioress this week at Chester. Black Tommy has shown himself to be as good as V6dette oyer this distance, and ought to have a very good chance, but I doubt his being able to beat Warlock; and from the money that has gone on Mons. Dobler, MrDrinkald must have had good cause for parting with the " black- un." Tasmania will like the course, being longer than it was at York and Doncaster; but Warlock beat her so easily the last time they met that I expect he will beat her again. Fright has had many friends lately, who have not forgotten his race with Fisherman at Winchester, where he ran him to a head at 211b; and his beating The Druid, who had run through all the Four Year Old Triennial horses at New- market last week, makes him out to have a degree of " quality" which must be useful. Fright will beat infinitely more than beat him. Zig Zag and Mysterious Jack have no attractions for me. Apathy's spring running is more recommendatory than that of the middle of the year, but judging from the market, the stable's confidenco appears to be bestowed upon Warlock. El Hakim meets the latter upon 5lb better terms than when they last met at York, and though I fully expect to see them change places, El Hakim is not at all unlikely to get a " situa- tion." Monsieur Dobler I have been waiting for ia every large handicap that has been out this season, from a thorough belief in his goodness, and his position in the market is sufficient to prove that I had some reason for selecting him as the winner of the " Ebor" at York. In appearance he bears a striking resem- blance to Sir Tatton Sykes, although a little shorter on the leg, and if he only runs to his reported trial at home with Black Tommy, Mr Drinkald may reckon upon the Cesarewitch as " all over." Vandermulin, who is now under Joseph Dawson's care, is whispered to be as good a thing as Mr Sykes was two years age, but the " Yander's" performances this year when backed by his owner do not warrant me in coinciding in that opinion, nor do I think the horse is partial to the Cesarewitch distance. The latter remark is also applicable to The Poacher, and a great many others who from time to time have found their way into the market for this race. Renown beat Tame Deer last week mainly from the badness of the pace. Besides, her not meeting Fright in the Queen's Plate looks so suspicious that I do not think the Cesarewitch will contribute to the renown ot this mare. Eloquence is not unlikely to represent the Palace stable instead of Aster, judging from the present appearance of the market, and if satisfied that she is the better of the two, I should be disposed to admire her eloquence on this occasion. Cedric's weight is a tempting one after what we saw of the horse at Bath, and with Druid for a " schoolmaster" his chance ought to be ascertained pretty accurately. December has been fortunate in the assessment of the handicapper, and WilliamDay has been try- ing hard for the Cesarewitch for several years, but I think he must have a better animal than December before he can accom. plish it. Hamlet will be served by the pace and distance, but after Ms Scottish adventures I do not fancy he will prove a Russian as well as a Danish prince by carrying off the Cesare- witch. Relapse, they say, will show the Doncaster running to have been all wrong ; it will be fortunate for her backers if she does. Lima everybody said ought to have won at Shrewsbury last autumn, when Covey " nobbed" Fordham on the post ; since that period Lima has only been out once, viz, in the Liverpool Spring Cup this year. The cry of " wolf" has been frequently raised during the season without foundation ; but judging from the market danger is to be apprehended this time, and believing that Lima is " meant" I should recommend her being kept on the right side. Barfleur and Dusty Miller must have wonderfully improved to possess a chance of winning this race ; nor do I think that Martinet's change of air from Newmarket to Findon will enable him to show us that the Goodwood running was not corrsc t. The Plush colt was one of tbe first horses backed, and ha s been continually supported in good quarters until within the last day or two, when symptoms of an unfavour- able nature have been noticeable in betting circles. I am not one of his admirers, from a belief that he will prefer the shorter " cut" of the Cambridgeshire. If Rosati ( who, by the bye, never runs well until the back end of the year), was well in at Goodwood, what must be thought of her now ? But however lightly she may be we ighted, her want of pace must always keep her iu the background. General Bosquet will find the Heath too extensive to take by " storm ;" Saccharissa no one could be " sweet" upon after Northallerton, and I can recommend none of the remainder. Under all the circumstances, I think I may be permitted to take six to beat the field, and these shall be Mons Dobler, Warlock, El Hakim, Fright, Lima, and Poodle, in spite of his defeat at Bedford; and reducing them again finally to take my stand with MONS DOBLER AND WARLOCK. There are eight subscriptions to the Royal Stakes, and I prefer Hobgoblin's chance to that of anything, as Sydney appears to be out of all form. The Clearwell has 20 nominations, and, in the absence of any rumoured " dark " flyer, I think Maid of Kent or Harry Stanley may manage to do the trick. Wednesday has five open races before we come to the Bedford Stakes, which I think will be appropriately carried off by the noble duke after whom it is named, with Killigrew. The Select Stakes would be a very interesting affair, if V6dette, Gemma di Yergy, and Anton, were to meet; but as " neither of the first two are expected to show, I must give mY adhesion to Anton. A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, Criterion Course, appears to rest between the old opponents, Flying Duke, Farmer's Son, and the Tadmor gelding, and as the former has 5! b extra I think the latter may pull through. In tha Match between the Miss Whip filly and Rose de Flo- rence everything out of the former mare runs so badly that Lord Siradbroke must have the best chance of winning. Miss Julia may receive from Humming Bird, and Orianda from Kent. On Thursday, out of the half dozen items in the list, only one is closed, viz, the Bretby, which has thirteen engaged, and unless a " flyer" turns up in the early part of the week, I think we may book the race to Blanche of Middlebie. Friday has five open races, besides the Prendergast, a Pro- duce Stakes, and a brace of matches. In the Prendergrast much will depend upon the running in the Cleirwell and other stakes for the solution of the winner, but at present I should be disposed to award the race to The Grand Secret or Ethiopian, the latter ef whom has been heavily backed for the Derby, and he is in a stable whose two year olds have shown some formidable pretensions this season. In the Produce Match, the Duke of Bedferd, I should think, is certain to receive from Lord Glasgow. Killigrew may find it difficult, but still possible, to give the Physalis filly a' stone, T. Y. C.; but Gin, I think, will fail to give 5lb and a beating to the Tadmor gelding.— Yours, & e, OBSERVER. PROGRAMME OF NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. Those marked * are at Newmarket.

Clerk of the Course: Mr E. W. Topham. Were our Continental neighbours interested in ferreting out a genuine sample of English tenacity to racing, their envoy would be spared further trouble by at once dropping down at the " anciente citie" of Chester, where, owing to a run of bad luck, three notions just now divide its plucky inhabitants— one, that the fixture, as it stands, is a bad one; next, that alter it how you may, the odds are still against an adequate return for the capital subscribed; and, lastly, that it had better be dispensed with altogether. The latter, however, appears about as likely to " rule the roast" as a trussed capon helping itself off the spit; but, joking apart, there cannot be two opinions that the liberal resources to keep sport at concert pitch demand a far mora satisfactory result than is exhibited in the appended details, our remedy for which has been over and over again mooted in these columns. Though a brilliant dawn presented a happy contrast to the wet and dreariness on two prior occasions, deserted tho- roughfares in the forenoon of Monday might have raised suspicion that parties generally knew not, or had forgotten, that the races were brought a day forward to steer clear of that appointed for the national fast, a circumstance operating unfavourably in other respects. Oa this account, also, the races were deferred to half- past two o'clock, to suit the convenience of London and the Midland book- makers, who, with a sprinkling of the Manchester division, together mastered tolerably numerous, but otherwise the attendance was extremely " so- so." The Tradesmen's Welter Cup, with the same number of entries, but bringing one more to the post than last year, stood first on the card, the start being delayed through the non- arrival of the gentleman who was to have ridden Tame Deer; the mount at the last moment was given to Aldcroft, and the horse, though incurring 5lb extra, remained a firmer favourite than ever. No little merriment, however, was occasioned when the old steeple- chaser, Conrad, receiving lumps of weight from everything in the race, gave his opponents the slip directly the flag was lowered, and, landing the trophy in a canter, threw the fielders into ecstacies at so ominous and unlooked- for a commencement. The winner, rising only fifteen, hunted this neighbourhood during the last season, and was purchased at a low figure by his present owner and trainer, who brought him out " fit as a fiddle" for the legitimate journey. Sever.-, of whom Welham was most fancied, next showed for the Shorts Handicap, but a tedious delay ensued, owing to the antics of Skycutter, who twice galloped and cantered round the course before the start was effected, having, it was surmised, thereby completely extin- guished her chance. Not so much steel was, however, taken out of her as people imagined for jumping off at score when the signal was giveD, she was never fairly headed, and pulled off one of the finest conceivable rages at the finish with half- a- dozen, to separate whom was no ordinary task for the judge; Bour- geois, who won this handicap iu ' 55 and ' 56, no way disgracing imself in this his third essay. After Sauuterer had walked over for the Mostyn Stakes, DoGinkel and Raven, out of seventeen entries, alone put iu appearance for the Innkeepers' Plate. Conceding a year at even weights did not prevent Raven becoming a " hot- un" in the Ring, but the mistake was palpable after the first half mile, and the Middlehans nag upsot the " pot" most cleverly. Out of 32 nominations ( five less than last year, when the event was marked with unusual interest in the meeting of Saunterer, Commotion, and Adamas). a quartette next sported silk for the Alma Stakes, which proved an easy victory for Physician, as anticipated. A Handicap Plate, substituted for a non- filled selling race, was won by Bourgeois, whereupon the company retreated in double quick time out of the piercingly cold atmosphere, beneath which had " shivered the timbers" of the stoutest. Between the last two races a knot assembled to discuss the Cesarewitch, but inquiries after Warlock and the support accorded to Aster were the chief transactions, 100 to 6 being the price of the former, whilst 20 to 1 was taken freely about the other; and 25 to 1 each agst Lima and Apathy. Nobody patronising the Room after dinner, it was shut up at an early hour, a few preferring to talk over affairs under the portico of the " Royal" in the night air. Magnifi- cent weather, with spring- like mildness, drew additional hundreds to the course on Tuesday, when the racing was resumed at half- past one, with the Fifty Sovs Plate, wherein Master Bagot, bowling over the favourite Sunrise, did the fielders another good turn. Nine ran for the Wynnstay Nursery, which presented nothing for remark save that Physi- cian, making nearly all the running, repeated his victory of the preceding day. A small selling affair, won by Esperance, the committee giving the cash for a race with two, introduced ten runners for the principal handicap, anent which, as well as the great southern event, not a blow was struck in the town during the morning. Absence of speculation on the former, however, was nothing wonderful when Saunterer was known to be a cer- tain starter. Minute details are given in the usual place, but probably no issue, whilst hollow in its result, ever produced so great a sensation as when, lying off to the distance, the " crack" shot through his horses with almost lightning- like velocity, which in half the time it takes to write it fairly brought to a standstill everything else then left in the race. A trio only went to the post for the Grand Stand Plate, which, besides producing a fine struggle, resulted in a dead heat be- tween T. P. Cooke and Adventurer, the deciding touch, re- served as a wind up, being in favour of the former; Chester having meanwhile pulled off a Plate of 50 sovs, post entry, in consequence of another selling event, closing overnight, having gone to the wall. During the afternoou some tolerably brisk business was transacted on the Cesarewitch, the most important features of which were the advance of Warlock to 10 to 1, the investments on M Dobler, Lima, and Martinet, and the kick- ing out of the market of Apathy and Aster at following quota- tions :— 7 to 1 agst M Dobler, 10 tr> 1 agst Warlock ( tk 12 to 1), 100 to 8 agst the Plush colt ( off), 20 to 1 agst Lima ( tk), 20 to 1 agst Black Tommy ( tk 25 to 1), 25 to 1 agst Tasmania, 25 to 1 agst Martinet, 33 to 1 agst Poodle ( tk 40 to 1), 40 to 1 agst Apathy, 1,000 to 10 agst Aster, 1,000 even on Black Tommy and Tasmania. Entrusted to officials of such high standing as Messrs Tophatn and Hill, a'word in praise of the arrangements is quite superfluous; a new bridge of ornamental design frota the walls to the rear of the Stand being amongst the latest improvements effected, and which will supply a much- needed convenience when Time shall next " pipe all hands" to the Rhooaee in rosy- footed Spring. MONDAY, OCT 5.— The TBADESMEN'S WELTEB CUP of 40 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each; winners of any handicap of 100 sovs clear, after Sept 28, 5lb, of the Shorts Handicap or Innkeepers' Plate 71b extra, but not to be accumulative; gen- tlemen riders ; jockeys 5lb extra ; winners to pay 5lb towards expenses of the course; one mile and a half; 10 subs.

The latter took up the running after the first thirty yards, and increasing the lead at every stride was eight or ten lengths in advance of The Slug- gard at the Stand, the grey lying third, the favourite next, whipped in by Thames Darreli, who cut it at the turn beyond, and was left a long way astern. In rounding the bend for the straight the gap gradually lessened between the others and the old- un, to overhaul whom Master Bagot was alone persevered with from the half distance, but was defeated in a canter by three lengths, a couple of lengths each separating second, third, and fourth.

Twice in succession she broke away and ran round the course, and when the flag fell at the fifth attempt, jumped off with tha lead ; Bourgeois, Lord Nelson, and the favourite laid side by side at her heels, Prioress and Blue Rock about a length each from them, the last off being Katharine Logie. The last- mentioned pair gave the American filly the go- by at the half- mile post, and joining Welhar- a at the straight, the trio came on together close in the wake of Lord Nelson and Bourgeois, both of whom, on the outside, raced at the girths of the light weight to the distance, where the lot, Prioress excepted, closed, and finished a splendid race, Skycutter ( never fairly reached) winning by a neck, Katherine saving her stake in the last two strides; by a head from Bourgeois, who boat the favourite by a neck, and half a length e& ch divided Lord Nelson and Blue Rock from him ; Prioress beaten off.

The lead was taken by Lady Elizabeth, succeeded at clear intervals, each in the order named, by July, the favourite, and EsptSrance to the half- mile post, where Physician rushed to the front, made the rest of the running, and won easily by a length. A spirited set- to in the last thirty yards for the " half- century" was in favour of the Lady by a head ; the grey, last throughout, beaten a length from July, A HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs ; three quarters of a mile.

The first- mentioned three rati together for about fifty yards, when the old horse, who got badly off, joined iu front, but dropped away at the last turn, and the others, closing at the straight, ran a fine race home, bkycutter slightly leading next the rails to the half dis- tance, where the favourite, on the outside, got his head in advance, and won by a neck ; same between second and third; Conrad three leugths from the latter.

The favourite made play with Welham and Master Bagot at his quarters, Chester fourth, Katherine Logie next, and the old mare last. In this way they proceeded for about one hundred and fifty yards, when Welham took up the running, and being joined by Master Bagot at the Grosvenor turn the two raced for the lead, which the grey obtained at the straight, was not headed after- wards, and won easily by half a length. A length each between second, third, and fourth, bad fifth, Boadicea eantering in a long way behind the lot. The WYNNSTAY NURSERY HANDICAP PLATB of 100 sovs, addejf to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for two year olds; the second to receive 50 sovs out of the stakes, and the winner to pay l5 sovs towards the expenses; winners of any handicap after Sept 22, 71b extra; seven furlongs; 29 subs. • J Mr Williams's ch c Physician, 7st 71b Charlton 1 Mr M'Cloud's br f Medallion, 6st 6tb Swainsou 2 Capt Christie's br c Orchehill, 7st 81b Pritchard 3 Mr Copeland's br c Thornhill, 7st 4lb L.

They got away ou excellent terms at the second attempt, the favourite showing in advance, with Lady Elizabeth and Orchehill at his side to the railway bridge, where Mr Merry's filly dropped away, and Orchehill obtained a slight lead of Physician, Medallion and Thornhill travelling on side by side about a length and a half from them, Lady Elizabeth going on fifth, and Pellisier next. No change occurred with this divi- sion until reaching the distance, where the favourite resumed the command, and won easily by a length; Medallion passing Orchehill half way up, defeated hioi by two lengths, and a like interval divided the latter and Thornhill.

Parry 6 Betting: 2 to 1 agst Saunterer, 5 to 1 agst Homoeopathist, and 6 to 1 each agst Kestrel, Maid of Derwent, and Claret. Lawn, turning restive, was with difficulty got to the post, but nothing could exceed the compact order in which, after one failure, Mr Hibburd effected the start. Maid of Derwent was first to show prominently in advance, but at the railway bridge turn Kestrel took up the running, followed along the far side by Little Davie, the Maid, and Lawn ; a clear interval separating this lot from Claret, Homceopathist, Polmoodie, and Tiff, after whom came Moose, the favourite biding his time still further in the rear. Except that the old horse crept up to the leader, no change occured amongst the front division until nearing the Stand, where Claret became fourth, Homoeopathist, Lawn, Tiff, aud Polmoodie going on next together to the turn beyond, where Moose, having ruptured a blood- vessel, was stopped and returned to the paddock, Saunterer still looking on half a dozen lengths be- hind everything else. At the T. Y. C. » ost Polmoodie shot his bolt, and Claret breaking down almost at the same time, neither showed in the race afterwards. Turning a second time into the back stretch, Lawn went up to his stable companion, still leading, Maid of Derwent now about two lengths from the pair, Homoeopathist fourth, and after him Little Davie, who finally compounded half a mile from home, leaving Tiff in attendance on the three year old. In these positions the forward ones came on to just outside the distance, where the favourite rushed through his horses, instantly deprived Kestrel of the lead, and coming on by himself, wou hard held by five lengths. Captain Christie's two pushed on to the finish, making doubly sure of the second money, which Kestrel secured by a head. Homoeopathist, beaten two lengths from Lawn, finished about half as far before the grey mare, close up with whom was Tiff, sixth, and Little Davie next; Polmoodie aud Claret, for reasons already stated, trotting in a long way last. The GRAND STAND HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for two year olds ; winners of any handicap after Sept 221b 71b extra ; the winner to pay 10 sovs towards expenses, and to subscribe the following year ; seven furlongs ; 20 subs. * Mr Saxon's b c T.

Cooke, and 7 to 4 each agst the others. Adventurer cut out the work with a clear lead to the distance, where the favourite challenged and headed him half- way up, but the ether, coming again at the Stand, got up in the last stride and made a dead heat of it ; Thornhill beaten three lengths from the pair.— Deciding heat: 5 to 4 on T. P. Cooke, who took up the running inside the distance, and won cleverly by three parts of a length. A HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs, for all ages ; half a mile.

Stewards": The Hon Admiral Rous and Sir G. R. Osborn, Bart. Judge : Mr J. Clark. Starter: Mr E. Hibburd. Clerk of the Course : Mr T. Rogerson. The judicious alteration made in this fixture some time back, so as to avoid clashing with Leicester, gave general satisfaction and improved the meeting considerably, as was shewn both by the increase in the entries and attendance of fashionables, turfites and sporting men. On the present occasion, how- ever, although with a prolific programme, a gloom was thrown over the prospects of the meeting, by the absence of His Grace the Duke of Bedford, whose recent severe domestic afflic- tion has caused universal regret. The weather, on Thursday, was wretched in the extreme, the rain falling heavily throughout the day, and the muster of turfites in consequence extremely limited. The Stand was all but tenantless, the saloon and bal- cony, which have been hitherto occupied by the wealth and beauty of the county, being, from the mournful cause before men- tioned, quite deserted, while the attendance of general company was less than we ever remember it. The card, however, pre- sented a marked improvement upon last year's, and produced some interesting racing, which was remarkable for the defeat of every favourite but one. The Bedfordshire Stakes, the principal feature of the meeting, and which usually brings out a decent field, dwindled down to a match between Weatherglass and Queen Bess, the former of whom, admirably ridden by Cus- tance, upset the " pot" with which Mr Saxou's mare was en- trusted. Neither time nor space will permit of our saying more here of Friday's proceedings than that the weather was again unpropitious, and the attendance smaller than on the first day, The racing came off as follows :— THURSDAY, OCT 8.— The CONSOLATION PLATE of 40 sovs, for three year olds; colts 8st 71b, fillies 8st 4lb; the winner to be sold for 100 sovs, & c; one mile ; 7 subs.

Drew's ch f The Bat, 8st lib R. Smith 4 Betting: 7 to 4 on Rotterdam, and 2 to 1 agst Lady Ribbles- dale. Lady Ribblesdale made the running, waited upon by Rotterdam, Seaweed filly, and The Bat, to the turn into the straight, where the three first closed, and ran thus to the half distance, when the Lady left her company, and won cleverly by three lengths; the Seaweed filly finished a bad third, The Bat fourth, beaten eff a long way.

After two failures Blew- berry started with a clear lead, having Happy Queen second, Chutney third, and the others, headed by Brown Middleton, close up. Entering the straight the three leaders were passed by Brown Middleton and Princess Ann, who made the rest of the running, the former winning cleverly at last by a neck, three quarters of a length separating the second and third, and Blewberry a bad fourth, Happy Queen next, and Melita last.

Salonica made the running, Paula Monti lying second, Border Chief third, Maid of Cadiz fourth, Lymington next, and the favourite last. In this order they ran past the post and round the top turn, where Border Chief took the lead, but in a few strides was again passed by Salonica and Paula Monti, the pair alternately leading to the T. Y. C. turn, where they were joined by The Maid of Cadiz and Little Tom; the latter, in his effort to get up on the inside, struck the post and was knocked down, fortunately without injury to horse or rider ; the former, who went ou with the leading horses to the end, was stopped at the gate. Half way up the distance Salonica and Paula Menti were passed by The Maid of Cadiz, who won easily by four lengths ; Paula Monti a bad third; Lymington fourth, and Border Chief last.

Stewards: Earl of Zetland, Earl Fitzwilliam, nnd H. S. Thomp- son, Esq. Judge and Handicapper; MrJohuson. Clerk of the Course : Mr E. Elliott. Starter: Mr W. Elliott. Richmond has been ou the wane for the last three or four years, and without some new blood is infused into the committee or the management— we cannot tell where the fault lies— the races will die a natural death. The added money for the two days does not reach £ 250, but even if this sum were properly laid out it might bring more horses together, as Richmond is a fa- vourite place with the north- country trainers. Out of ten races advertised, four of them, including the Cup, are Selling Stakes, whilst at other meetings selling stakes are fast dying away, and even at Chester last week only one selling stake filled, which only brought out two runners. The Cup failed to obtain en- tries, but by turning it into a handicap, and reducing the dis- tance to about three- quarters of a mile, the Clerk of the Course succeeded in filling it. The racing calls for no remark. The delightful character of the weather drew together a large atten- dance, but the Grand Stand was not well patronised. The course was in excellent order, and if stronger exertions are made, we shall see Richmond a much better meeting next year. The second day's sport showed great improvement, the entries being larger and the fields more numerous. The following is a return:— THURSDAY, OCT 8.— The COMMITTEE PLATE of 20 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each; half a mile; 4 subs.

Princess of Orange jnmped off with the lead, was never headed, and won in a canter by two lengths ; second beating the third by three lengths ; the Knight of Avenel filly beaten off. The winner was objected to on the ground that the entry was not made iu time, but it was overruled by the Stewards. Mr J. Osborne claimed Fairystone under the New- market rule, and Mr Johnson claimed the Knight of Avenel filly. The latter goes iuto Fobert's stable. A SAPLING STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 25 added by the Earl of Zetland, for two \ ear olds; colts Sst 71b, fillies 8$ t 4lb; those got by uutried stallions or out of untried mares allowed 31b, both 5lb; Grey Stoue in; 7 subs.

W. Wyns, Bart •, Gen Peel, and Oapt Cotton. Judge: Mr Horsley. Treasurer and Clerk: Mr Johnson. Time was when Wrexham and its neighbour Holywell were the leading meetings of North Wales ; but the latter, having long since become a matter of local history, may account for the zeal with which this, the sole return of racing festivities as of yore, continues to be celebrated in the " ' squire s wide hall with lots of good native cheer. As relates to sport, however, fixing the " fast" on Wednesday destroyed the prospects of an excellent little meeting, the success of which in previous years has chieflv depended upon its being tacked on to the Ceatnan events. The blank day now intervening between the twain gatherings consequently inflicted more mischief here than befel any other appointment of the week, though the attendance was quite up to the accustomed mark in rank, fashion, and numbers. Upon the Stand were the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, Lord and Lady Yilliers, Lady Agnes Graham, Sir W. _ and lady Codrington, Sir Roger Palmer, General Peel, Arcbioald Peel, Esq, Capt H. Cotton, Capt Palmer, Capt Denman, and a distinguished party staying at the hospitable mansion of Sir W. W. Wynu. The racing itself was of the deadly- lively kind; no fault, however, of Mr Johnson, whose honorary services and acknowledged abilities to keep the ball rolling, deserve better success.

This order was maintained to the distance, when Conrad was beaten, and the favourite resumed the command, but the four year old eoming with a rush at the half distance, reached the leader at the S tand, and won very cleverly in almost the last stride by a head ; a length each dividing the others.

Lawn, as usual fractious at the post, caused three failures, and then jumped off with the lead, but dropping back after the first two hundred yards, Kenerdy took up the running, The Sluggard along the far side going on second, Lawn third, the favourite next, with the grey whipping in. There was no change until turning into the bottom the last time, when The Sluggard and Lawn were beaten, whereupon Oakball went up to the light weight, deprived him of the lead at the distance, and won " hands down" by half a length; very bad third; wide intervals also dividing the others.

Merry, Esqs, and the Hon J. Sandilands. Judge: Mr W. Nightingale. Clerk of the Course and Starter: Mr J. Steventon. However unpleasant the task we regret, to be compelled to admit that on the Scottish side of the Border the Turf is at a very low ebb. This is scarcely to be wondered at, perhaps, con- sidering the difficulties racing has ever had to contend against in the North, aud which have been greatly increased of late years by causes that have more or less affected the national pastime throughout the British empire. No sooner had we begun to recover from the effects of the Crimean war than the country became involved in a similar disaster, the end of which it is not easy to foresee ; but that its continuance will have a serious in- fluence upon racing is already manifest by the departure of so many of its votaries with our troops to the East. One old estab- lished Scottish meeting— Paisley— was recently the scene of such disgraceful riots that the authorities have refused to grant the further use of the land upon which the course was formed, consequently there will be no more races there; and we regret to hear that at one or two other places they are likely to be discontinued, solely from lack of support. This must of course chiefly be attributed to the want of encouragement held out to owners of horses to keep up a racing establishment in that country, or to send them such an immense distance from England. The prizes offered are for the most part of a paltry character, especially for a wealthy Club like the Royal Caledonian Hunt, aud the conditions of the races stipulating for so many entries and so many starters to secure the added money call loudly for revision ; aud unless some im- mediate improvements are effected we shall next year have a more disastrous result to record. There is still, however, suffi- cient racing spirit on the other side of the Tweed to maintain the prestige of the Scottish Turf; and in justification of our assertion it will be sufficient to point to the distinguished pa- tronage under which the Royal Caledonian Hunt and the Lo- thians' Racing Clubs celebrated their anniversary during the past week at Edinburgh. Many old familiar names are missed, It is true, from the list of competitors, but let us hope that the depression is only temporary, and that we have seen the worst. The Royal Caledonian Hunt being a migratory club divides its support amongst the chief race meetings in Scotland by visiting each . annually in turn in the autumn, and the honour being this year paid to Edinburgh, that meeting, usually held in the spring, was postponed in consequence to the present pe- riod. Unfortunately, nowever, more than one unlooked- for contretemps occurred to iuterfere with the success and gaiety that invariably distinguishes this reunion when celebrated in the Scottish Metropolis, a visit to which will alone repay racing pilgrims from the South. The fixture of the Fast Day for Wednesday, the second day of the meeting, proved a serious drawback, although affording a favourableopportunity for visiting the principal objects of interest with which the " Modern Athens " abounds— Calton and Castle Hills, Holyrood Palace, and Arthur's Seat for instance— albeit few ef the English who happened to be so far north on that occasion, we take it, would relish the idea of passing another fast day in a Scottish city even with such attractions as it possesses to counteract the horrors of entombment! Various local causes likewise existed for a reduction of the gaieties in the shape of balls and concerts usually held during the meeting, and amongst others the sudden dC on the previous Tuesday of Mr A. Mac. keuzie, the famous Qftt^ ian attached to the Club and a universal favourite, threw a gloom upon all parties. Several English stables— T. Dawson's, J. Prince's, W. PAnson's, R. I'Anson's, andC. Winteringham's — were as usual represented here, and if circumstances would admit of the meeting being held at a more convenient period, and sufficient attraction held out, we have no doubt the attend- ance of horses from this side the Tweed would be increased. It was Mr I'Anson's intention to have taken Blink Bonny to Musselburgh for the two Queen's Plates, in order to gra- tify her Scotch admirers, but on being put into work after Doncaster, both the mare's hind legs filled with matter, and one of her pasterns became so " relaxed" that she had again to be " thrown up." Musselburgh race course is between five and six miles from Edinburgh, and is most plea- santly situated on the Frith of Forth, whose waters wash the shore within a few yards of the running ground, the soil of which being of a sandy nature is always in good order. The course is nearly oval, measuring a mile and a quarter and 46 yards, with a straight run in of half a mile, which rises just sufficiently from the distance to prevent its being a dead flat. The Stand— a convenient and sufficiently commodious stone structure— com' mands, in fine weather, an extensive view, embracing on the left Grantor Pier, Porto Bello— the Ramsgate of Edinburgh— aud the Isle of Inchkeith, with the hills of Fifeshire iu the distance, and the Ochil hills of Stirlingshire towering above them. On the right extends the picturesque Bay of Aberlady, on the shores of which stand Lord Hopetonn's monument, Gosford House, the fine seat of the Earl of Wemyss, and the quaint little village of Prestoupans so renowned for its ale, Pansore oysters, and the battle wherein Sir John Cope was defeated by the Pretender. Beyond this is North Berwick Law, in Haddingtonshire, and some ten miles out at sea is seen the square- topped Bass Rock, famed for its Solan geese— an immense bird that only lays one egg, which it protects with its web foot whilst sitting during the whole of the month of May, at which period another curi- ous characteristic is observable amongst the thousands that in- habit the island, from the fact of their heads being always pointed in the same direction! Tuesday was a bitterly cold day, and the showery state of the morning had no doubt a depressing effect upon the attendance, which, though not up to the average, embraced nevertheless a large muster of the leading supporters of the Turf in Scotland, and a great many fashionables, amongst the fairer portion of whieh were several whose charms would attract admiration even amongst the galaxy of beauty to be met with at Ascot and Good- wood. The members of the Hunt ( who, we had almost omitted to state, inaugurated the proceedings by dining together at the Douglas Hotel, under the presidency of Lor. d Dalkeith, on Mou- collar and cuffs— and the coutrast to the more sombre habili- ments and curious mufti or the ordinary occupants of the in- closure gave a striking variety to the scene. The most noticeable contrast to an English race course, perhaps, was the almost total absence of the excitement of the betting Ring, the" com- ponent parts" whereof to- day comprised some half- dozen locals and " little men" from the north of England, whose avocations, however, were so exclusively confined to their own circle that the owner of Hamlet ( the only southern bookmaker present) had not an opportunity throughout the day of once bringing his metallic into use. The sport does not call for lengthened remarks. It comprised five races, and commenced with the Trial Stakes, which, though looked upon as a certainty for the Diphthong colt, who showed the white feather, resulted in favour of Trip the Daisy, whose success appeared to afford considerable gratification to the numerous frieuas of the popular secretary of the Clul). The Caledonian Handicap, which brought out five of the eight acceptances, produced a capital race between Hamlet aad Little Nell, and resulted in favour of the English horse ( to ride whom Dales only left Chester at eleven o'clock the night be- fore !) by half a neck only, the want of a pace alone account- ing for the closeness of the finish. On returning to scale the rider of the mare objected to the winner on the ground of a cross, and for hugging him against the rails ; but a more ridicu- lous charge was never trumped up, and the referees, Lord Mel- ville ( acting for Lord Dalkeith, who had not then arrived), Mr E. H. Blair, and Mr Sharpe, after a careful investigation, very properly dismissed it. A Handicap for horses belonging to aud ridden by officers of tie 16th Lancers ( at present quartered at Edinburgh), followed, and this was succeeded by the Cale- donian Cup, for which the Sprig of Shillelagh unexpectedly dis- played staying powers for three miles by beating Culcavy and four others in very hollow style, albeit the pace it must be admitted was anything but " lively," and the horses' sides showed marks of visitation from Bullock's " persuaders." The latter " threw in a third main" by winning the Maiden Plate on Potboy, wherewith the first day's proceedings terminated. A change in the wind to a warmer quarter brought with it the most wretched weather, and Thursday was ushered in amidst a deluge of rain, which continued with little intermission through- out the morning. A miserable show of company was the conse- quence, and though the weather managed to hold up a little during the afternoon, the course presented a scene ef damp desolation which will long 1 e remenste.' ed by the Southerners present. The Caledonian St Leger, wherewith the sports com- menced, was remarkable for the large bet of 25 to 20 (!) being laid on the Epilogue colt, who cut up wore ingloriously than on Tues- day, Logie o' Buchan, who made play throughout, winniug in a canter. A Yeomanry Race followed for the Duke of Buc- cleuch's " fifty," and though affording plenty of fun to the " natives" we think, with all due deference, that his Grace's donation might be far better made use of by adding to the legitimate attractions than by wasting it upon such an exhibition as the affair— unattended, for a wonder, without a wrangle!— resulted in. The Lothians' Handicap— the chief prize of the Club from which the race takes its title, aud boast- ing of three times as many subscribers as the Caledonian Handi- cap. though with a smaller bonus added— brought out a field of half a dozen, and afforded a splendid . set- to between Culcavy and Little Cob, resulting in the old mare's favour by a neck; the shorter distance to- day, added to the 9lb penalty which he carried for winning the Caledonian Handicap on Tuesday, suffi- ciently accounting for Hamlet's defeat. The Queen's Plate, won by Sprig of Shillelagh, and a beaten Yeoman Handicap, completed the second day's list. Compelled to content ourselves with the condensed details of Friday's racing by electric telegraph, we cannot take leave of our friends in " Auld Reekie" without wishing them better luck— both in weather and sport— next year, and in compliment- ing the zealous secretaries, and their indefatigable and efficient Clerk of the Course, Mr J. Steventon, upon the bu9iness- like manner in which the meeting was conducted throughout. Mr W. Nightingale, though unable at present to undergo the fatigues attaching to a coursing meeting, was sufficiently recovered from his late severe attack of illness to occupy his old position here, and we hope may soon be enabled to re- appear amongst the " lovers of the leash," The Hunt Ball, we had almost omitted to st » te, was fixed to take place on tke last night of the races, but the attendance, it was feared, would not come up to former years, owing to the late period of the week, which became com- pulsory, however, in consequenoe of the Music Hall ( used in iieu of the Assembly Rooms now under repair) having to undergo the necessary cleansing after being used on the Fast Day for Terpsichorean performances of a more secular character. On Thursday evening the Stewards of the meeting patronised tho performances at the Theatre Royal, whereat a capital company performed during the week, under the able management of Mr R. H. Wyndham, himself a clever versatile actor. Amongst the company present during the meeting we noticed— Earl of Dalkeith, Earl of Wemyss, Earl of Buchan, Viscount Melville, Viscount Dalrymple, Lord de Mauley, Lady Howard de Walden and the Misses Ellice, Lord Aberdour, Hen Mrs Coventry and the Misses Coventry, Hon James Sandilands, Sir James Baird, Sir J.

Hagar took up the running after the first fifty yards, and remained in advance to the bottom turn, where she ran out, and became last of everything, leaving the lead with Trip the Daisy. Below the distance the latter was joined by the Diphthong colt and Kate Tulloch, and Mr Merry's colt ap- Eeared to have much the best of it, but shutting up the instant e was called upon, Trip the Daisy won easily by three quarters of a length, half a length between second and third; Hagar beaten off.

The Assayer made play at a bad pace, followed by Gathercole, Hamlet, Little Nell, and Ellermire, in the order named, for about a mile and three quarters, when Hamlet headed Gathercole, and on entering the straight took up the running. Ellermire immediately after- wards drew to the front, and taking her place at Hamlet's side lay with hits almost to the distance, when she dropped off beaten, and left The Assayer and Little Nell in attendance upon ., he favourite. Half way in the distance Little Nell passed The Issayer. and challenging Hamlet, the two came out and finished the race, which was never in doubt however, Hamlet, who hung a little at the finish, winning very cleverly by half a neck. The Assayer was beaten five or six lengths, and wide intervals sepa- rated each of the others. On returning to scale the rider of Little Nell objected to Hamlet en the ground that Dales drove him upon the rails, but the Stewards, after investigating the charge, dismissed it. 16TH LANCEBS HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with a Purse added, for horses the property of, and to be ridden by, officers of the 16th Lancers; once round; < 5 subs.

After passiBg the two mile post, The Chief dropped back, and when fairly round the last turn Marigold began to improve his position. In the straight, he passed Strandhopper, caught Merlin at the distance, and the latter's jockey leaving it a little too late, Mari- gold won a good race by half a length, Lancer, who came at the last, finishing two lengths from the second. The others were beaten a long way. The CALEDONIAN CUP of 100 sovs, for three year olds and up- wards ; weight for age ; winners extra, & c ; three miles.

The Sprig weut on third, Mary Rose fourth, the King of the Isles fifth, and Trip the Daisy last past the Stand, and until half way down the far side, where Logie o'Buchan again headed Culcavy, but gave way altogether after entering the straight the last time. The race then became a match between Calcavy and The Sprig, the latter of whom waited until half way in the distance, and won easily by three lengths, Trip the Daisy, who struggled to the end, finishing six lengths behind the old mare. Nothing else near. dropped off beaten. Half way up Hamlet was in trouble, and the issue was left to Culcavy and Little Cob, the latter of whom challenged about fifty yards from the chair, but failed to get up, and was beaten, after a splendid struggle, by a neck. Hamlet was at least six lengths off, and Elleriuire ( fourth) as far from him, the other two being tailed off a long way.

"" ...... -- - - - Champion NOTES FROM THE CUERAGH. THE OCTOBER MEETING, & c. The fourth and last of the Curragh Meetings for the year 1857 takes place in the ensuing week, commencing on Tuesday, and continuing for the three successive days. By the annexed pro- gramme it will be seen that the sport spread over the four days extends to three- and- twenty events, of which eight are two year old, stakes, their value in the aggregate amounting to upwards of 2,000 sovs. The challenge for the Gold Whip, 8st 71b each, over the course, with a Sweepstakes of 100, also forms an item of considerable interest, the three year old Companion being matched against Fireblast, 4 yrs, at equal weights, four miles. The remaining events include the Iiirwan Stakes, the Kildare Handicap, the Royal Whip, the Lord Lieutenant's Plate, and two Queen's Plates, one of the latter being the Plate for which the unfortunate contretemps took place on the Thursday of the late September Meeting. It will be seen that, in selecting the Peel Ceurse on which to run this Plate, the ranger and stewards of the Turf Club have at length takea a step in the right direction, and we hope soon to see all the Plates run for on the north side of the Curragh, there being a triple space for the formation of a four- mile course, without crossing and ro- crossing the turnpike road. By starting at the old winning post and running the Peel Course the reverse way, turning at Baliymenny, along the Mulgrave mile, and thence into the old course at the Red Post, a gallop of full four miles might be obtained, all within view or the Stand House. The public are every day calling loudly for some change of the sort, for the long races, being for half their length run at a great dis- tance from the Stand, are almost wholly devoid of interest. The first day's list contains six races, commencing with the usual Scurry Handicap, which as a " feeler" for succeeding events, willMoubtless bring some dozen to the post, there being more of the sort at present in training to get three- quarters of a mile than auy greater length. Her Majesty's Plate for twos and threes is next on the list, and for it Spero and Prizefighter will " fight their battle o'er again," and unless interfered with by Satinstone or some other youngster from over the Channel, the race is likely at the end to be confined to the pair, and although the weights are now ( a month later) in favour of the two year olds, Prizefighter had so much the best of it in September, that we must again stand by him on the present occasion. The race for the Whip between Fireblast and Companion, if run, which we much doubt, must end in favour of the former ; no Irish three year old, we take it, beiag able to give up his year over the four mile course. In consequence of Gleu Lee, The Chicken, and Newton- le- Willows beirig all broken down, the field for tho Kirwans will be limited to four— Fireblast, Agitation, Malay, and Altro, and the former, if the race for the Whip is compromised, will have little difficulty in placing this stake to his owner's credit also. The principal two year old race of the meeting, the National Produce Stakes, of the value of 530 sovs, comes next in the list. Although with 30 subscriptions the following only are likely to reach the starting post :— st lb st lb st lb Barbary 8 10 Eyrecourt 8 2 Credit 7 12 Champion 8 7 Georgia 8 2 Odessa 712 Zaidee 8 7 Encore 8 0 and if public running is to be taken as any guide, the race ought to be confined to Odessa and Encore, the former for choice. There is likely to be a field of some ten for the Kildare Handi- cap, those certain not to run being Yeutick, Ribbonman, and The Prophet. The others are all in training, and the chief con- test will probably lie between Companion and the Mildew colt, and the former, from his previous performance, ought to prove an easy winner. On Wednesday the . Sligo Stakes will be contested by The Knight of Malta, The Attraction filly, aud Tommy Moore, and the former won't have much trouble in placing it to his owner's credit. The field for the Beresford Stakes will also be limited, and we see nothing to interfere with Darling's chance, Buckstone being the next most to our fancy. For the Trainers' Stakes the following are likely to run :— st lb Tho Hawk 8 4 Four- and- Twenty.. 8 4 Remedy 8 2 Mildew 8 0 fct lb Zillah 8 0 Queen Cake 7 7 !

Wynne's ch c Tommy Moore and of these some of the bottom weights are most likely to furnish tbo winner. Oil Thursday the Marble Hill Stakes will probably also fall to The Darling's share, as we can see nothing in the list with any chance to beat her. The following will comprise the field for the First Class of the Trainers' Stakes, for two year olds:— st lb st lb st lb Buckstone 7 12 Tommy Moore.... 7 6 The Tailor 7 Killoughv 7 12 Credit 7 5 Anticipation 7 8 Sweetcake 7 12 Georgie 7 8 BrotoArbutha .. 7 0 Encore 7 12 C by Dough out of The Painter 7 0 Frailty 7 9 Petticoat 7 8 Merry May 6 12 Bundle, 7 8 For the Third Class Train rs' Stakes, for four, five, six, and aged horses, the field will be limited to age st lb age st lb age st lb Alcyone 5.. 8 10 Alfred 4.. 7 7 Veteran a.. 7 0 Arab Maid .... 5. .7 11 Walterstown .. 5.. 7 5 Sunshine 4.. 6 7 Sirocco 4 .7 9 From Sunshine's late performance at Cashel, coupled with the very favourable weight he here carries, we need not look beyond him for the winner. Of the six events in Friday's list three are closed, the first being the Pagets, for which the following will run— The Knight of Malta, Champion, Georgie, Sweet Cake, Zaidee, c by Dough out of Petticoat, and Tommy Moore, the first- named being, notwithstanding all his penalties, the most likely to pull it off. For the One Hundred Sov Filly Stakes all are likely to run, but we have no fancy for either of the four. The Post Waterford Stakes will bring to the post one of Lord Waterford's, Eyrecourt, and Mary O'Toole, the latter having, to our thinking, the best chance. The remaining events for Friday have yet to be named for. PROGRAMME OP THE CURRAGH OCTOBER MEETING. Those marked • are in training at the Curragh.

RACING IN FRANCE. PARIS AUTUMN RACES. [ PBOM OUE OWN COBBESPONDENT.] The first day of the autumn meeting commenced under very favourable circumstances as regards the weather and the amount of sport to be anticipated. The ground was in most capital order, and no fears need now be apprehended for the character of the race- course, care and time being all that is required to pro- duce the most perfect covering of turf. The removal of the great handicap race— the Omnium— from Cliantilly to Paris is unquestionably an advantage, and the Grand Criterium for 2 year olds to be run at Paris, will greatly add to the attractions de- rived from the variety of races now submitted to the Parisian public. Notwithstanding the beautiful weather, the company was more select than numerous, few beyond the racing authori ties being visible. There was a very fair supply of carriages in the interior, and several horsemen, but the stands were anything but well filled; nevertheless the " world" will be returning to town before the conclusion of the sports, and should the weather still hold fine, no doubt, will assemble in great force upon the last day. The Omnium was the only event upon which any amount of betting had taken place, and being considered a very opeu race, there was more betting 011 the post than we ever remem- ber to have noticed upon any previous occasion. The winner turned up in Last- Bom, who at the last moment was required to do battle for the stable of Madame Latache de F » y, owing to MissElthiron, theirjfavourite— and also the public's— having gone amiss, or been worsted probably, a few days before the race. Paladin ran better than upon any former occasion, and the country horse Sylvain perfectly astonished all the judges of racing matters. The result, upon the whole, was quite in keep- ing with public performances, and certainly complimentary to the handicappers. The first race of the day, the Prix Principal, was a greatsurprise, for the Derby winner to be beaten by such an animal as Duchess would be too bad; but if animals must be pulled out when more fit for Christmas than racing; exhibitions, and required to struggle over two miles and a naif, why the surprise ought not to be so great after all. The Prix de la Prairie was an exhibition of stable " ' cuteness" of an expensive de- scription. Garenne, claimed at Chantilly out of the Courteuil stable, was backed at evens against the field in the first in- stance, when suddenly a rush was made to get on to her former stable companion, Bletia ; but the mistake was soon discovered, for Garenne never gave them a chance, but making running from end to end, was never caught, and won in a canter. Mdlle de Chantilly had no difficulty in disposing of Odessa in the Prix Special, aud The Prix d' Automne, which wound up the day's racing, was merely a canter for Miss Catli, Trajan having been stopped after losing a stirrup iron. In this race ran Brutus, the second for the Derby, and also Serious, who was third in that race, and thus were the first, second, and third horses of this year's Derby most inglori- ously beaten the same day. Brutus, however, like Potocki, was out of all condition, and could not have been expected to do other than add to the number of the field and value of the stake; nevertheless to see the three first horses in the great race of the year so easily disposed of by their inferior competitors may in same way account for, and excuse the exhibition of the French horses in the Prix de l'Eaapereur at Chantilly the previous week, bearing out our opinion that the system, and not the animal, is at fault. We had expected to have seen some signs of stabling under process of erection, but such, however, are not at present risible, although no doubt under a consideration. The following are details:— SUNDAY, OCT 4 — PBIX PBIKCIPAL of 5,000f, for three yea* olds and upwards, never having won a first or second clas prize; entrance 200f, half to the second; weight for age • penalties; 4,000 metres ( 2m 4fur); 7 subs.

Potocki and Duchess got first off, and after a few strides Potocki took up the running at a very bad pace to the Stand a second time round, where Duchess went up to him, and after rounding the turn took the lead, Trouvdre running third, and Diamaut last. No change took place until the last turn, when Trouv6re ran is to the second place, but immediately after- wards fell back beaten; Potocki challenged Duchess in the straight, but after a long struggle was beaten cleverly by three parts of a length,'. Diamant a bad third, and TrouvCre beaten off. PBIX DB LA PBAIBIE of l, 500f, given by the Administration des Haras, for three year olds aud upwards ; entrance 50f; weight for age j the winner to be claimed for 3,000f; 3,000 metres ( lm 7fur); 3 subs.

Miss Bird, Claire, Paladin, and Biberon got off first, Mr Henry and Last Born next, the rest in a body, with Seville and Serious bringing up the rear. Passing the Stands, Miss Bird got clear of the field, and carried on the running for about half a mile, when Claire headed her, and improving the pace, both Miss Bird and Biberon fell back to the rear, whilst Paladin went up to the leader, and Mr Henry, Last Born, Sylvain, Vest Galant, and Prince Beau vau'st we improved their posit ions; at the first turn for home Claire was beat, and Paladin was left with the lead, and came into the stiaight two clear lengths in advance of Mr Henry, Sylvain, and Last Born, to whom the race was left, the rest presenting a lengthy tail; at the distance Mr Henry made a final effort to overtake Paladin, but fell back immediately, when Last Born, closely followed by Sylvain, also challenged ; at the Stand corner the filly got her head in front, and ran in a very clever winner by a good length from Paladin, who was a length and a half before Sylvain; Mr Henry was fourth, beaten a head from Sylvain, Serious and Acjaou fifth and sixth, close together, and the rest scattered all over the course, the rear being brought up by Claire, Miss Bird, and Biberon. PBIX D'AUTOMNE of 2,000f, given by the Administration des Haras, for three year olds and upwards; entrance 50f; the second to receive 200f out of the entries; weight for age; penalties, & c; 4,000 metres ( 2m 4fur): 9 subs.

Miss Cath cut out the work, followed by Trajan, Acajou last; after running for half a mile at a bad pace, Trajan was indulged with the lead, but at the turn for the straight his jockey lost a stirrup- iron, and the horse was, after some difficulty, pulled up ; upon the disappearance of Trajan, Miss Cath went in front, closely followed by Derby and Brutus; Derby was beat at the turn, and Marquemont, when on the straight, ran up to Miss Cath, but she came clear away, when called on, and won in a canter by several lengths ; Brutus a bad third, Serious fourth, and Derby fifth ; Trajan pulled up. THE LOSS OF THE TRANSIT. faJedTrausit1-- " WritteDby anofficer wbo went outIa theiU- Kd- 0fBl" ca* 220 mil8S from Singapore, Sunday, July 12. I ; WTeckrSlher Majesty's ship Transit, on which it.

Meanwhile efforts were being made to secure some biscuits evfdr'nt thlt H', T'V,!^ 011 to the ^ castle, as it WM Jl L,^ tlle - slilp sh, ould be abandoned. While the soldiers were thus occupied under the direction of their officers the th^ tCrW, T'rre out their boats, and iu about two hours as th « this length of time to effect this, as the neavy boats were midships and the Transit was fearfully undermanned. The first boat lowered was despatched with the second lieutenant ta Aminto, a Dutch settlement 16 miles off, to solicit assistance and a despatch boat to proceed to Singapore for a vessel to take us from this. The remainder of the boats ( TfT^ T., readT- The lirst embarked were the sick, a ^ mpa^ S ofthe 90th, aud a company of the 59th, and they were landed tnttiT;., Hhey hadt0b « landed there, as if they proceeded to the island those on the ship would, in all likelihood, have sunk before the return of the boats. These were four times filled be- fore all on the ship were iu safety. The ship's crew, who were the last to leave, went at once to the island, and the boats then made three trips to the reef for those of us who were on it. It was dark before half were landed. This was not attained too soon, as the rock on which we stood gradually became covered by the rising tide, and was totally hid from sight before the last or us had reached the land. Except the clothes in which we everything was lost, except the firelocks of the soldiers, which they carried with them. It was impossible to save the Knapsacks. 30 tons of powder, all the shot and shells and small arm ammunition, all the stores, the medical comforts, commis- sariat tents and baggage, in fact everything has been lost. The vessel, however, has not yet sunk, though under water from the funnel stern canst, and split in half both on the port and star- Doard. I he rock on which she split holds her securely uutil a gale of wind shall scatter her to pieces. You will, as an old sol- dier, be glad to hear that nothing could have been more truly heroic thau the conduct of the men; it was splendid, and worthy of antiquity, or shall I say of the British soldier ? When first the crash came, all the men on tho troop- deck made a rush to the gangway, but Major Burnston, 90th, ordered every man pack to his mess. This command they instantly obeved, though the ship was trembling like a frightened child, and they could hear and see the water rising gradually to their feet. Had this order not been given and obeyed, no biscuit or pork could have been saved; and when at last the men were ordered on the quarterdeck to embark there was 110 rushing or confusion, the first party moved off and the remainder stood at ease with the order and precision of a Sunday parade, though they could see and feel the ship gradually sinking. Some who could secure nothing else succeeded in securing their Bibles, and this morn- mg, in the presence of the wreck, we returned thanks to that Almighty isaviour to whom we all feel indebted for our safety. We have much to be thankful for. Had there been a rough sea the ship must have gone to pieces, and it must have washed off the reef those who could have reached it. Thank God ! we are all alive, well, and on a very beautiful island, abounding in fresh water, pine- apples, cocoa- nuts, and bananas. This day the pork and also some sails were secured, and we are all under canvas. Colonel S , Scots Fusilier Guards, is in command, and there is, in my opinion, no man better fitted for high command, as, with a temper most enviable, he has a calmness, firm- ness, and self- possession which has proved of essential service to all of us. He was the last of our party to leave the ship. I trust that this disaster may lead the Admiralty to consider the propriety of sending out no more troops in transports not seaworthy, andthe necessity of providing some means of lowering thejboats speedily, and of having a sufficient number to rescue all on board, as, if we had not been so close to the shore, not a third of our number could have been saved. l! rom the hour we left Portsmouth we were ia danger, as on leaving the dock the fan of the screw, which had not been raised, came into collision with the dock. The fan was positively broken, and the concussion caused a leak aft which could not be stopped. The Transit, except the wind was on the quarter or beam, would not answer her helm ; the sails did not fit her, and were very old. On the 22d and 23d we lost the foresail, foretop- sail, the mainsail, and maintopsail. The mainyard, made of in- different timber, broke in half like a rotten stick, and oue of the plates of iron of which the ship is built broke in two below water mark. I need not tell you that it was almost impossible to pre- vent the vessel from foundering; indeed, had the gale not abated nothing could have saved us. You cannot conceive the ex- tent of the danger. It may help you to do so when I tell you that on the 24th we pumped out of the wretched ship 600 tons of water. 600 tons! At home you will esteem it a most unfortunate and disastrous occurrence that we should be lost. I believe there is not a soul among us who did not thank God for our being wrecked where we were, as if we had proceeded to the Chinese Seas and met a typhoon, or even a heavy gale of wind, the Transit must have sunk, and all of us been lost. For my own part, I esteem it a most merciful occurrence. There is no doubt that we shall all have the sympathy of the people of England. I trust they will be not oaly merciful, but be as they ever are, just, and not hastily blame the captain or the master. It may not be right in a landsman to pronounce aa opinion, but, as I have now had some experience, I can safely assert that no two men could have displayed more vigilance and anxiety— I might say painful anxiety— from the hour we left Portsmouth. They knew what we did not— our fearful danger, but always displayed so much cheerfulness as really to lead us at times to imagine that she was the finest vessel ever floated. It will be remepi- bered that the master navigated the Himalaya in all the rapid voyages she made in the last war, and is well known in the Ad- miralty as a most accomplished man. Perhaps you will be so good as to have my letter forwarded, as I know not where I shall be, and have written to them to forward this to your office. I have saved my writing desk and Bible, and others a few trifles. I have lost to the value of almost £ 200."

ST0EMS ON THE COAST, The South Western Railway Company's steam- ship Havre, Captain Walter Smith, left that port for Southampton on Wed- nesday night, with about 70 passengers and a full cargo. The weather had been very heavy during the day, and as evening came on the wind increased to half a gale. Captain Smith's con- fidence in his good ship, which is one of the finest sea boats afloat, was complete, and he put to sea without hesitation. The first three or four hours' run was accomplished without tha occurrence of any extraordinary difficulty; but at six o'clock on Thursday morning the weather became hazy, and the wind getting up at the same time to a perfect hurricane, the position of the ship occasioned seme anxiety. It was impossible to see more than 200 yards ahead, and with the certainty that the vessel was approaching the back of the Isle of Wight, great anxiety was felt to make land. The lead was kept constantly going, aud the engine put at half speed until about eight o'clock, when the Duimose Point was well made on the starboard bow. The captain now changed his course to the eastward, and gave the coast a wide berth. About this time a large ship was observed beating up channel, in evident distress— the greater part of her canvas having been blown away. Captain Smith lay to for some time, and hoisted signals to endeavour to direct her proper course. The signals were observed, and in all probability the ship was thus saved. The Havre, pur- suing her course to the eastward, again lost her reckoning through the denseness of the mist, and the navigation for seve- ral miles before sighting St Catherine^ was guided by the lead, which was kept constantly hove. The ship was frequently swept from stem to stern, the waves literally running " mountains high," and presenting a spectacle of awful grandeur. The Nab was sighted about noon, and after a pleasant run through the Solent, the Havre arrived at South- ampton at two o'clock, to the evident astonishment of the officers of the dockyard and Customs, whose knowledge of the state of the weather on the previous night had led them to imagine that Capt Smith would not have ventured to cross the Channel. Capt Walter Smith, before leaving the ship, re- ceived the collective and individual thauks of the passengers for his gallant and seamanlike conduct. SHIPWEECK OF* BEIGHTOS.— About daybreak on Thursday morning there was a violent gale off Brighton, and in a few hours afterwards a coal brig, the Pilgrim, of Gosport, William Simpson, master, which had been beatiug up the Downs in a leaky condition, struck on a sandbank, opposite the Albion Hotel. The town life- boat, manned by Nathaniel Gunn, Frederick Collins, John Taylor, William Measor, Thos. Ashurst, Thos. Care, and Walter Coates, was the first to reach the brig, and succeeded in taking off five of the crew, when, filling with water, she was compelled to § ive way, aud with considerable labour landed the men opposite the Junction House. The deputy mayor, Mr J. C. Burrows, the chief officer of polioe, Mr Duly, and a strong force, awaited them, aud they were speedily taken to the Wellington Inn, Pool- valley, where every- thing in the house was placed at their service. The names of the men are Robert Hammond, mate; Arthur Trimnell, jun, Stephen Gardner, George Martin, and Henry Wright. The captain, Arthur Trimnell, sen, and Douglas Dent, were yet oa board. Wright's life- boat, however, manned by John Wright, jun, John Stoner, James Ashurst, John Spicer, and Charles Murchant, with the following Coast Guardsmen— James Harris, George Goodman, John Gillard, and John Pratt— after great efforts succeeded in reaching them and landing them amia the cheers of the townspeople. Much sympathy was manifested towards the men, for whom food and clothing were provided, and a subscription was commenced to relieve them from their difficulties. About eleven o'clock tke brig parted asunder, and is now a complete wreck on the beach. WRECK AND LOSS OE FITS LIVES AT HASTINGS.— On Wed- nesday night, between nine and ten o'clock, a sloop was ob- served to be in great distress a short distance from the shore. The moon shone at the time, and in a quarter of an hour she struck upon the rocks. Efforts were made to save the crew, who were seen clinging to the mast, but without success. Here they remained for nearly an hour, when the sloop broke up, and all hands were lost. The name on the stern of the puut is " Draper, Thomas Price, Plymouth." According to papers which have been washed ashore, she appears to have left Newcastle for Falmouth on the 28th ult, laden with coal and machinery. RAMSGATE, THUBSDAT.— A fearful gale prevailed throughout the day off the Kentish coast, during which several vessels drove into this harbour of refuge and safety, but the French vessels the Petite Emma, M Vallice, master, and the Josephine, bark, 766 tons, bound from Seaham to Bordeaux, coal laden, in making for the harbour drove ashore, and were eventually lost. The Emma sank, so that net a vestige was to be seen, but the other broke up, and speedily strewed the coast with the wreck. The crews were fortunately rescued from a watery grave, and re- ceived every; attention that humanity could suggest, with a change of raiment, but a poor bey was killed by a falling spar. VIOLENT STOEM ON THE SOTJTUEBN COAST AND DESTRUC- TION OP PBOPEBTY.— At Plymouth, on Wednesday, the gale was terrific from six to ten. The wiud blew a hurricane, and the sea rolled in over the Breakwater and through the Sound with fearful violence. The amount of damage to shipping, boats, & c, it is impossible at this moment to ascertain, but the works of the Plymouth and Great Western Dock Company must have been injured to the extent of many thousands of pounds. The gates of the docks have been reft from their position, and sunk in the basin. Several breaks have been made in the eastern embankment. The greater part of the western embank- ment has been displaced, and the extensive bridge connecting the pontoon with the shore has been washed down. The outer portion of the pier has also been lifted, and the shedding there- on blown down. A quantity of goods placed on the pontoon, consisting of ale, sugar, casks, & c, have been washed off, and the wreck is now floating on the water. The pontoon itself has shifted from its moorings, and slewed round to the north. This pontoon was used extensively by the Irish and other steamers. The sea broke so fiercely against the back of the pier that the spray and portions of the waves were carried ever some store- houses some forty or fifty feet high. Several of the yachts, smacks, and boats moored outside the docks were drifted from their moorings, and sunk. One yacht, the Pixie, was carried from the outside into the dock, and without much injury. Many of the vessels in the Sound drifted, but no serious damage was sustained. The Brazilian frigate of war, Imperial Marin- hiero, drifted from her anchorage, off Bovisand, into Mount Batten Bay, a distance of nearly two miles, when she was brought up without damage. The African mail steamer Can- dace came into the Sound in the afternoon, and fired signal guns for the shore steamer to fetch the mails, but so fearful was the gale that this was not effected until this moraing at five. The Candace and the other vessels moored under the lee of the Breakwater rode out the violence of the gale ia safety. 8 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 11, 1857. ANGLING ADIEUX- NO. XII. On tliis day of public humiliation and prayer, I, in private, humble myself and pray, I try to know myself, and conceive and feel what a poor thing I am, and I seek to denude myself of all prejudioea and pride, particularly religious and national ones. Let me not deny any man's creed, let me not depreciate any man's country. Weigh the words, " Protestant and Catholic." The scales are equally balanced. Sound the words, " England and Ireland." The one is as harmoniously sonorous as the other, lie who sees a difference and irremoveable superiority between each, and publishes his opinions in the highways and market- places, can claim no sympathy with me. When I read © f rejoicings expressed orally and by writing in Ireland and England by false Roman Catholic priests and penmen, I sorrow- fully s? y " Alas, that such noble countries should have such Lmoble sons!" When I hear the low, bloated, bigoted self- styled Saxon— who is just as much a descendant of the gallant fellows vanquished by discipline and strategy at the battle near Has- tings as I am an off- shoot of the last of the " Barons"— shout out revilingly, " Irish," I bewail the ignorance of the beast;. Hap oily, the English gentleman, whether artisan or aristocrat, lias alwavs a warm hand and heart and word of praise for his brother islander. Happily all classes of rightly- educated Irishmen admire the worth and proclaim the noble- mindedness and the great heart of the children of " the invio- late island of the brave and free." Neither of the latter classes requires any admonitory prayer from me. I pray that the dis- cordant elements that blow pestiferously in the lower regions of the sister countries— ah, that sisters should bicker and promote the falling of a divided house— may flit speedily away, never to reappear. Scotch, Irish, Welsh, English, reflect on what you are, and on what you have been when your respective islands were imperilled by the Sat anic ambition of one man. Did the kilt- clad* 42d leave the Connaught Bangers to do and die? Did the Welsh Fusiliers hold back aid from the English " Buffs?" Did Welsh Picton envy Irish Ponsonby? Did Scotch Graham refuse a helping hand to English Hill ? Never. The foe was be- fore them, and sectarian and national prejudice nowhere. Shall not the children of those Kreen islands, who fought shoulder to shoulder in the sierras of Spain and the plains of Belgium against brave, sreuerous, and humane soldiers, de the same amid the mountain passes and desert plains of Hindostan, against those devils in human shape who have recently enacted over again the most atrocious " Murder of the Innocents?" I have asked you • who and what you are ? Answer. " Brothers in arms, in bleod, heart, and honour 1" Hurrah 1 that is the response I expected from you. T , „ , I am an Irishman. I never deny my country, or foolishly boast of her. Many of my Irish readers, many of my own re- latives, sav that I dispraise my country and laud England. Ah. ah, my Irish brethren, how you wrong me. " ' Tis not that I love E osland less, but that I love Ireland more." I tell you of your faults and failings as I would tell my dearest friend of his. Why should I do as your inimical panderers do, exalt you above all other people; why should I be one of ths eternal, conceited choristers of your acknowledged virtues, and of those you have not? You are too dear to me for that. Why should I not hold out to you as examples the probity, the industry, the perse- verance, the economy, the sincerity, the spirit of enterprise, the self- reliance, the fair dealiwr, the high and cultivated talents, and honest pride of the Englishman? Why should I not say to you, a truce to brilliancy, less dazzling and more common sense? Why should I humour your instability, your extravagance, your ruinous eccentricities? Have I ever flinched at casti- gating the Euglishman for his vices, and shall I spare you for that you are my own countrymen ? No, no, never. I love you too well for that. The pen and tongue I use know " no fear, favour, or partial affection." I have resided in Eng- land for thirty- one years, in France six; my boyhoed was passed ia Cork and the county Limerick. I have not visited Ireland but once— for six weeks only— since I left it in 1819. Personally I know England and France far better than I do Ireland. I judge of the Irish who do not migrate from reading and hearsay, and from undoubted facts performed by them. They are the flowers - of the flock. Those who do migrate to England become, five out of ten, mean, disgraceful scamps: and those called " cockney Irish" are the most finished ruffians unhung— thieves, bullies, bagnio- owners, receiversof stolen goods, drunkards on the wagesof the prostitution of their wives, daughters, and lemaus. All these scoundrels are the fellows who are the loudest in the praise of the country they or their parents came from. They live in lanes into which the sun hardly ever throws a light, and thieving, drinking, fighting, swearing are their sole occupations. The made a cast up into the air as if fly- fishing, and as the bird swooped down upon the gudgeon struck smartly, hooking her securely by the muscle of the wing, when she was speedily brought to terra firma. Four. persons witnessed me effect this singular angling feat. The Tern is now being stuffed at Mr T. M. Williams's, 155, Oxford- street.— Yours, & c, Shaftesbury, Oet 8. JAMES SOPPITT.

The monthly meeting was held at the Marine Station, Rock Ferry, on Monday evening la3t. The members dined for the last time this season, previous to their winter meetings taking place, at the Club House, Duke- street. It was unanimously re- solved that the annual ball be given in aid of the Indian Relief Fund, to take place at the splendid rooms of the Town Hall, by permission of the mayor, F. Shand, Esq. Mrs Shaud has kindly consented to be one of the lady patronesses. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. At the general meeting of the R. T. Y. C., in St James's- street; on Thursday evening, the 8th instant, his Imperial and Roya1 Highness Vice- Admsral the Count d'Aquila, Commodere of the R. Y. C. at Naples, and owner of the Menai schooner, was elected a member by acclamation, in addition to the several candidates ( nearl? 40) who were elected by ballet. The minutes of the 1st and 8th July were confirmed, Mr 0. Lucas was appointed agent to the R, T. Y. C. at the Isle of Man ; and a rote of thanks was unanimously tendered to Thos. F. Baily, Esq ( Czarina schooner), for his annual liberal present of a haunch of venison, which was partaken of by a very large party at the club dinner prior to the meeting. One or two notices of motion were announced, and several'candidates proposed for the 4th November, to which day the meeting was adjourned. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB CLOSING TRIP. The Royal London Yacht Club closed a very prosperous season — in the course of which its number of members and amount of finances have wouderfully increased— on the Sd iust. The yachts rendezvoused by appointment near the Brunswick Wharf, Bla- ck- wall, at 4 p. m., the flag- ship being Mr Haine's Mars, that gen- tleman having in a most handsome manner kindly placed his commodious yacht at the disposal of the club. A spanking breeze from W. S. W. soon set her iu motian, and in her wake were the Petrel, Fairy, Zillah, and three or four otters. They as usual proceeded to Erith, where the dinner party was aug- mented by the arrival of twenty or thirty other raerab rs and their friends. After the disposal of the substantial viands with which the tables were covered, Mr Eagles ( the chairman) pro- posed the usual loyal and patriotic toasts. Next followed " Success to the Royal London Yacht Club," in proposing which the chairman dwelt with pleasure upon the continuing advance- ment of the institution, and of the encouragement it had afforded to yacht sailing. He then proposed the hsalth of the late Commodore, . Tames Goodson, Esq. and deplored with them the severe loss the club had sustained by the retirement of that Bridge a long distance ahead of the Richards's, who eased after rowing half the distance, seeing that they had no chance. CORPJE of Church Stairs will row H. Ledger, after his match with Deal ( win or lose) any distance he likes, from one mile to seven, above bridge, in any boats he likes, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side. Corpe will be at Mr Smith's, Rotherhithe, on Thursday, to make a match.

To hear them talk of their father's estates, hounds, - horses, and aristocratic acquaintance, one, if he did not know the black- guards, would think they had once been well off, and had, in the " ould" times, fed off venison washed down with bur- gundy.

How delicate, if you believe them, their pslates are become.

But I work, depend upon myself, seek no favour, solicit uo patronage, never play t!-. e part of Sir Oracle, shove my embedded wheels out of the ruck, without waiting for Olympic assistance, pay cheerily my just debts, and contribute my mite of amusement and instruction to those— and I can with pardonable pride say they are many— who listen to what I speak and read what I write. My reward is a very large circle of acquaintances, and I fancy I may add friends— English ones— who treat me with a kindness and welcome me to their society with a cordiality that makes me wonder what they see in me that they should hail me with pleasure every time I come amongst them. I trust my gratitude is equal to my surprise.

Perhaps I shall not then have to complain of them, as I do now, that they » -— " Like bowstrings wet with rain Send forth their arrows wild and wide." I may be enabled to write with more consecutive precision, and sometimes hit the bull's- eye with the force and accuracy of a bullet propelled from the breech- loader— deadliest, surest,< aud simplest of small arms— invented by my ingenious friend, Mr Frederic Prince. A writer in the Sporting Review has been kind enough to speak of my Handbook of Angling as a sure authority on every mode of fishing with rod and line. His own papers, " A Mouth's Fishing in Ireland," printed in parts for the last three months in the Review, proclaim him a good and fair angler, amusingly able to describe all he sees and does. I know nearly all the Munster rivers he fished, and can vouch for the accuracy of his description of them. The good opinion by such a practical pisca- torial of the Handbook induces me to extraot from it, with emendations, nearly the whole of its chapter on roach- fishing. It will be novel to many anglers who have not read what I wrote ten years ago about the roach:—" This very pretty species of carp ( cyprinus rutilus) is a great favourite with London anglers, and by their skill in catching it they prove their superiority as bottom- fishers. Roach spawn in May, and do not regain good condition before the autumu months. They do not like rough streams, and are generaHy found in easy swims, moderately deep, with a fine gravelly and sandy bottom. Until weeds are either rotted, or swept away by floods, roach feed amongst them, and do not take to the opea. The best ground- baits for them are gentles— small, lively, and clean- pastes, small red worms; and in fine, warm weather, artificial ant- flies. You cannot successfully fish for roach with coarse tackle. All of it must be light and delicate, and of the best material— rod line, float, and hook. The foot- line shou'd be made of single horse- hair. Such a line sinks more rapidly in the water than gut, and seldom or never kinks. The rod should be of cane— white Spanish reed for mi- idle and small pieces— and need not be longer than sixteen feet for bank- fishing, and from ten to twelve for boat- fishing. It should be moderately stiff, to enable you to strike promptly and effectively, even with a long lipe out. Mr Blaine ( Encyclopaedia of Rural Snorts) pays a Eigh compliment to the roach, saying, ' Roach angling offers much interest to the piscatory zealots who are shut out from the high pursuits of fly- fishing for trout and salmon. The roach is an elegant fish, and it requires considerable skill to deceive it, whilst its game qualities are such that it contests the matter with the angler to the last, so as to yield no small triumph when landed. We have seen a roach of a pound in weight in a strong current in the Thames, raise the blood in the facie of an angler of fair fame. They also, when in couditioB, bite freely; but we consider the principal hold they have, or ought to have, on the angler, is their great plenty, the numerous methods that may be employed to take them, to which may be added the time of the year that sport may be obtained with them, which is when few other fish yield any. From the very bottom of the water, every inch of the way up to the surface, they may be fished for in various manners; and when they are sunning themselves at the top they will take a fly tolerably well. No fish ' whatever exerts the capabilities of the angler so ex- tensively as this; even the grayling ( whose versatility in yielding sport is great also) must, nevertheless, give place to the roach, a precedence which we think will always rank him as a distinguished member of the piscatory list.' For my own part, I think that if the roach oould be caught with stout tackle, there would be, in some measure, an end to the 1 age for fishing for him. To be obliged to catch him with a single hair line, or the fine- it gut and other tackle, is the chief cause of all the. excitement felt by the roach lisher. Iu the autumn and ! winter months you should use a very small hook of very fine wire, and short in the shank, a fine line, lightly shotted, and the shots to be placed far from the bait. Use a neat quill float, or a Vf- ry sir. li and light cork one. From your float— I sup- pose you fishing from the bank in still water, or in ponds— let there oe as little of your reel- line out as possible, about a couple of feet, and keep the point of your rod perpendicularly over the float. Doing so will enable you to perceive the feeblest bite, . and to strike with effect. If you fish from a punt in streamy . water, let your float go on with the current until some hitch or other causes it to rise and lie flat on the surface. Then lift, and wiud up carefully. In so doing you will frequently catch a fish. l) o not fish too close to the bottom, and ever and anon draw jour bait nearly up to the surface of the • water, and let it sink gently again. Ground- bait mode- rately with meal ground- bait, particularly if you are angling with paste. To make such ground- bait, cut a few thick slices of bread, and put them in a pan, without the crust. Saturate well with water, and then squeeze the fluid out; knead . with equal quantities of fine brsu and oatmeal, and work into tough balls. In dropping them iu take care that their substance is not washed h\ the stream further than you can conveniently reach with your hook. It is of great importance that you should know the precise spot 011 which the greater portion of your ground- bait rests. With whatever bait you angle, ground- bait with a similar substance. Captain Williamson says, " Yeu will find it proper to bait the place where you fish with oatmeal a little browned ove? the fire, and then made up into balls with a small quantity of treacle. This draws them ( roach) together better than any other ground- bait I ever heard of. Throw a piece about the size of a marble now and then above where your • hook lies. Is will gradually be separated, and attract numbers. . In the spring small red worms are She best baits; then caddies, l& rvse, and little grubs of all sorts. In autumn and winter, g? nths and pastes, and small pieces of sheeps' or bullocks'spinal marrow. In striking at roach never use any other motion than that of the'wrist, a slight, smart side motion or jerk of which will be sufficient ta cause your hook to penetrate if its point bo properly filed." In my next I must write a stiff paragraph or two about piko- fishing. They will be worth something, if I receive oral iuforma- . tion and instruction on the subject, which I hope I shall, from that accomplished practitioner who hails from " The Covers," Lalnham. EPHEMERA. Wednesday, October 7. SINGULAR ANC- LING INCIDENT. MR EDITOR : I yesterday captured a very elegant specimen of that engaging bird, the Lener Tern, in a singular manner while aagling in the river Stour, near this place. I was usirg live bait, and the bird, beating about the stream, once or twice stooped and carried off small deaci gudgeon we had thrown jtway, on one occasion seizing the cork float'of a friend who wap angling near me, and carrying up line and all several yards into ertious in behalf of the club had been so great and its prosperity so firmly secured that he felt all the members in common with him ( the chairman) would not only regret his retirement from office, but would do an injustice to their own feelings if they omitted any mark of respect which it wan ia their power to evince towards him. He therefore drank his health with every feeling of respect. The toast was very warmly received by all present. " The Royal Yacht Squadron," and other clubs of the United Kingdom, " The Vice and Rear- Commodore," " Mr Eagles, the'ehairman and treasurer," " Mr R. Tress," who kindly presided at the dinner, and a number of other toasts wound up the evening, and in the morning some of the yachts started on a cruise. ROYAL CORK YACHT CLUB. Thursday, October 1, was the last day of the weekly sailing of the yachts belonging to this club. Only seven were under weigh, as the others were laid up. The baud of H. M. S. Hogue performed on the Promenade Quay, which was thronged with visitors from various quarters. It is the custom of the club to have a closing dinner, and at six o'clock about fifty members sat down to a sumptuous entertainment provided by the house steward, Elliott The chair was occupied by T. G. French, Esq, Admiral of the R. C. Y. C. fleet, supported on one sids by Rear- Admiral Sir Henry Chads, and on the other by Rear- Admiral Patton. The vice- chair was filled by R. Frankland, E* q, Vice- Admiral of the R. C. Y. C. The evening, enlivened by first- rate music, was spirit in the most agreeable way. This club, first called " The Cork Harbour Water Club," is the oldest marine club in existence, having been established prior to the year 1720. Its ancient rules are still carefully preserved and are most amusing. The new club house, built within the last few years, right on the water's edge, is a handsome building and greatly ad- mired. Within the last twelvemonths there has been a very considerable accession of new members. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. The first monthly meeting for the winter season of the mem- bers of this club was held, pursuant to the notice in our last im- pression, on Monday evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen- street, John Draper, Esq, the treasurer ( in the absence of the president), in the chair, when the following gentlemen were declared duly elected:— George R. Cox, Esq, Little Tower- street, City; and Joseph Powell, Esq, 2S, Fenchurch- street. It was resolved that the next meeting of the club should be held at the same place on Monday, 2d November. CLIFFORD'S PLAN FOR LOWERING BOATS. The fine ship Transatlantic, arrived the other day at Aberdeen, was the first ship fitted by Clifford's apparatus in that port. On her passage home from Quebec a man fell overboard, the sea was running very high at'the time, but a boat was instantly lowered and the man was saved. The captain and crew were all of opinion that without this apparatus no boat could have been lowered in time to pick the man up. Mr Batten, agent for' the Clifford inveution at Aberdeen, has received the following letter from the captain of the Transatlantic;—" Dear Sir: It is grati- fying to me to bear testimony to the efficiency of Clifford s in- teresting invention for lowering ships' boats at all times, espe- cially in cases of peril; and knowing how earnestly you have pressed it on the notice of all seafaring men, and how anxiously you await the reports of its success, I have pleasure in handing you the following:— On Sunday, the 13th of September, at six o'clock, a. m., Tin lat 54 0 4 N., long 36' 19 W, a seaman, Daniel Sutherland, after stowing the close- reefed foretop sail, fell over- board from foretop, striking against the rigging in his descent. The sea running very high at the time, ship labouring much, the gale having a little abated, the life- boat, which you fitted with Clifford's sear, was on the weather quarter; Mr. Teague, chief officer, the second mate, and a crew manned the boat, which was in a minute clear of the ship, and succeeded in rescu- ing the man from a watery grave. Had the boat been other than a first- class life- boat and so fitted I would not have risked the lives of the crew.— I am, dear Sir, yours truly, W. EDWARD. To Mr A. Batten, Aberdeen."—[ We continue now and then to give instances of the utility of Clifford's invention. Why every ship is not compelled t# have her boats thus provided we cannot tell'. There is a law enacting that every ship shall be provided with the best known means for preserving life under all circum- stances: there are officers appointed and paid to see the law enforced; but that the law should be a dead letter, that the officers thus paid should entirely neglect their duty, are perhaps matters of too every day occurrence to excite much surprise.] HOWARD ROWING CLUB PAIR- OARED RACE.— The Howard Rowing Club, established only three months since, holding its meetings at Mr Evans's, the Howard Arms, Arundel- street, Strand, rowed their first race, a pair oared one, on Monday last for money prizes, from Putney New Bridge to Chiswick Eyot. Owing to unforeseen circumstances, however, it was not a good race, and the following was the result:— Messrs Colgate and Berry, Powiss ( cox) ( green) 1, Messrs C. Crouch and Cooper, Evans ( cox) ( red) 2, Messrs Pollard and W. Crouch, Mankalow ( cox) ( white) 3, Messrs Anderson and Kerch, Field ( cox) ( blue) 0, Messrs Moffiet and Kele, Phelan ( cox) ( pink) 0. The umpire did not arrive at the appointed time, and the boats were started by a man on the aqueduct bridge. Green was the first to go off, followed by red and white, all at different times, the blue and pink, who, however, directly turned back, thiuking it was not a fair start. Green maintained their lead without iheothers coming near them, and arrived at Chiswick Eyot first a long way ahead. White at first nearedRed, but the latter subsequently left them fur astern, and at a meeting of the members the next evening at the club house it was decided that the prizes should be awarded to the three first boats a* we have placed them above. PLEASURE BARGB FOR THE DUKE OP HAMILTOJT.— On Mon- day last wo were shown, in the premises of Messrs J. B. M'Neil and Co, boatbuilders, Ruther « len- road, a beautiful pleasure barge, built for his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, for use at the Island of Arran. The barge, which will be propelled by six oars, is 32 feet in length, and 5 feet 8 inches breadth of beam. It will accommodate twelve or fourteen persons comfortably, in addition to the sis oarsmen, and is furnished with every modern improvement. The interior of the gunwale is lined with ma- hogany, upon which are placed elaborately worked panels of rosewood, & e. On the back or stern board of mahogany is carved the Hamilton arms, while the sides of the stern and bow are chastely carved and gilt. The flooring of the barge, iastead of being planked, is fitted up from stem to stern with gratings of mahogany, which have a very fine appearance. Altogether it seems to have been very carefully constructed, with a view to elegance and safety, and as such reflects much credit on the builders.— Glasgow Herald. SOUTHWARK, BLACKERIARS, AND LAMBETH REGATTA.— This regatta, for four freedoms of the Watermen's Compasy and money prizes, has been decided as follows. The final heat was postponed owing to a dispute, and we now briefly give the result of all the heats:— First heat: W. Farmer ( pink) 1, A. Richards ( light blue) 2, T. Whitmarsh ( green) 3, F. Carote ( tri- colour) 0. Carote came in second, but was disqualified, owing to his cutter fouling Whitmarsh and Richards, and Whitmarsh was placed to row in the final heat in consequence. Second heat: F. Kinchin ( white) 1, G. Parker ( red) 2, G. Fiunis ( yellow) 0, E. Matthews ( dark blue) 0. Won by several lengths. Final heat: F. Kinchin ( white) 1, W. Farmer ( pink) 2, T. Whitmarsh ( green) 3. G. Parker ( red) 4. They were all wide apart at the finish. Richards came in fourth, but was disqualified, owing to unfair rowing, BEOWF, CAMPBELL, AND CARROLL.— For this scullers race we have received a further £ 10 a side, aud the final deposit of £ 25 a side is to be made on Monday, Oct 19, at the Ayrshire Club Rooms, 37, Trongate- street, Glasgow. We understand that Brown will row in the boat in which Chambers won his race with Ralph, and that Chambers will train him. They both arrived in Glasgow on Tuesday last. Campbell has plaeed him- self in the careful hands of John Mackinney, and will row in a boat built by James B. M'Neil; and Harry Clasper is expected at Glasgow shortly to superintend the training of Carroll, who will row in a boat built expressly by the veteran for ths occa- sion. The match causes great excitement. CORPS AND DEAL— For this scullers race we have re- reived the whole of the money, £ 25 a side. It is to take place on Thursday next, from Putney to Mortlake, one hour before high water, iu old- fashioned boats of three planks. Umpires and referee to be chosen in the usual way, and both cutters to keep astern of the sternmost man. The Venus has been chartered to accompany the race, and she will leave the Tunnel Pier at 10 a. m. calling at all the intermediate piers on her way to Putney. Tickets can be had beforehand at Mrs Jemmy Shaw's, York- shire Grey, Chelsea, and most sporting houses. FRANCES and HAMERTON, hearing that H. Kelley is anxious to row them, a match can be made for £ 100 a side ( to row the champion course) at Mr Wm. Herrick's, the Clarence Arms, Kingston, on Tuesday evening next, or should he prefer having Ralph of Wandsworth with him, A communication through Bell's Life will be attended to, J. AND M. HALL V T. AND G. RICHARDS.— These men rowed a pair oared race 011 Monday last, for £ 5 a side, the distance being from Hammersmith to £? w; but it was, however, all one way, CRICKETERS' REGISTER. ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v TWENTY- TWO 01 GLASGOW AND DISTRICT ( WITH THREE PLAYERS). OCT 1.— This match was commenced on the ground of the Clydesdale Club, Kiusing Park, Glasgow, on Thursday week. Very great care had been bestowed in making the wickets fit. The ground is situated upwards of a mile and a half from the centre of the city, and not very easy of access. The Glasgow players had the assistance of John Lillywhite, Caffyn, and Sewell. jun. Neither of the first ever before contended on the side of a Twenty- two. The side was under the captainship of A. Campbell, Esq, whose general love and knowledge of the game entitled him to tliat onerous office. The weather was very un- favourable, so mueh so, 011 the Friday, that scarcely an hour's play could be obtained. We gave, in our last impression, the score of the first day's play, and on Friday two runs more only were scored by them. The bowling of. Caffyn aud Lillywhite was very straight, but the fielding not altogether good. Willsher made a steady 13 by a threo and singles. Anderson played an excellent innings of 20, composed of a four, a three, two twos, & e. Lockyer, who played in the room of H. Stephenson, in con- sc- quenoe of illness, also contributed 13 by two threes, a two, and singles. E. Stephenson played a steady 12, they realising alto- gether a total of 87, and considering the heaviness of the ground it was a number highly satisfactory to themselves and their sup- porters. We may here add that the Eleven suffered a loss in George Parr, who was only able to officiate as umpire in conse- quence of a bad hand, his colleague in office being Mr James Smith, a gentleman well versed in the ups aud downs of the game. The Twenty- two sent in the Earl of Rothes and Mr M'Neill, who made 11 before they were parted, and when the second wicket fell 23 had been secured, of which Lord Rothes had added 14. The rain now came on aud put a stop to all further progress of the game during Friday. On Saturday the Twenty- two were dis- posed of f © r 51, the Earl of Rothes adding three more to his score— making a total of 17, obtained in a most masterly manner. He made several very fine hits indeed, twice drove Jackson for a three and a two, also Wilsher; he also made a remarkable fine cut, which Tiuley, however, prevented him scoring from. His lordship's figures were two threes, three twos, & c. Caffyn and Lillywhite were got rid of by " trimmers," much to the disap- pointment of the Scotch people, who had evidently counted upon their heavy performances, which, however, Wilsher and Jackson prevented. Mr M'Neill played very well for five singles, when he unfortunately run out. The Eleven just managed their second inninga on Saturday, falling five short of their first. Anderson again got a hold, aud Mr Lipscombe played a very fine innings of 19, including several excellent cuts. A. Clarke contributed a well played 17, and Davis soon put together 10. Jackson did not seem to see well; and thus the innings closed, and the match stood drawn. The Eleven were excellently catered for at Mr Cranstone's, the Crow, in St George's square, Glasgow, where the whole of them parted to their respective homes, this being the last match of the season. The match was under the distinguished patronage of the Right Hon the Barl of Eglinton and Winton, a most noble and liberal supporter of the game.

This match w" as commenced on the ground of the Manchester Club, on the last day of September, and continued the following day, terminating in an easy victory for' the denizens of the Free Forest, in spite of the array of talent, backed by Hunt, brought into the field by Manchester. Messrs Armitstead and Makin- son worthily represented their universities, the latter bowling throughout, faced by Mr Goodrich's dangerous slows, and ably supported by the fielding of the Forester eleven.

The cricket season at the Viceregal Lodge was brought to a most successful termination on Thursday, by the return match between his Excellency's Household and the Coldstream Guards, which resulted in favour of the Viceregal side, after a most inte- resting contest. During the past season fourteen matches have been played on this ground, of which number his Excellency's side have won ten, lost one ( against the Marylebone), and three have been drawn. The weather on every occasion has been pro- pitious; the ground— in the careful preparation and keeping up of which no expense has been spared— has been pronounced by the best English and Irish players to be as perfect as possible; andall who have had the opportunity of appreciating the uracious cour- tesy and noble hospitality of his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle, himself a most enthusiastic lover of the noble game, will carry away the plesantest recollections of the agreeable days spent in the friendly contests that have baen fought on this tented field.

AN APPEAL TO CRICKETERS, & c. LIIXWHITE'S CEIILECTION OP SCOEES FROM 1746, IN PBB PAEATIOK.— 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 information relating to the game, such as the " alteration of the laws, and sue 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 vsin. Bell's Life in London, from its first number, as well as the Marylebone Club books ( by authority of the om- mittee), have been carefully searched, and many important aud interesting eveuts abstracted ; numerous other reprint and manuscript copies have also been examined, which fally prove that many other good matches were played years back, and he hopes t he scores of them are still obtainable.

This match was played on the Parkkurst Garrison Ground, on Monday, Sept 28th. The morning was very unpropitious, but cleared up sufficiently to begin play about half- past eleven, though the ground was very greasy, which, of course, was a great disadvantage to the fielders. The play was very good on both sides, and resulted in Newport being headed by 10 runs in the first innings, which decided the match, time not permitting it to be played out.

THE RETURN MATCH. The return match was played on the Osborne Ground, on Monday, Oct 5, on which occasion Newport headed their oppo- nents 30 runs the first innings, a result mainly attributable to the excessively bad fielding on the part of Parkhurst and Os- borne. The bowling of Winchester was very superior on the part of Parkhurst and Osborne, and that of Heal for Newport was most admirable; the batting of Mr Theobald was much admired. Score: NEWPORT.

NOETH V SOUTH.— This, the opening match of the season, was played on Saturday, the 26th ult, and resulted in favour of the former in two games, which were kicked by Messrs, Poole and Warren respectively. The contest was kept up most ener- getically throughout the day, and the play of Messrs Poole, Churton, and Warren, on the North side, and that of Messrs Moseiey and Twist, on the South, was deservedly admired.

TEE LATE FIGHT BETWEEN BEN CAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM. Ben Caunt has called on us to say his friends are anxious that he should fight out his battle with Nat Langham, to decide who shall take the money; and he is therefore willing to fight him, for the money down, in six or eight weeks from Tuesday next. The battle to be fought out strictly according to the letter of the rules of the Riug. After seeing Caunt Nat also favoured us with a visit, and, on learning Ben's proposition, said he would fight him as soon as he liked on the proposed terms, provided that Ben would promise not to fall on him, or hug him, or squeeze him on the ropes. So there are still hopes that the affair may, after all, be decided in a sportsmau- like manner. In reply to Jem Ward's letter in our last the following has been forwarded to us for publication. The letter is anonymous, but still, as the subject is one worthy of discussion, we readily give it insertion:— , , „ , , , " SiE: The letter that appears in your last from so redoubt- able a person as au ex- champion deserves reply. The utterance of retired chiefs, to whatever class they belong, merits some notice. The composition of mine host is remarkable for a cer- tain amount of weak reasoning and a still further infusion of meagre platitudes. With what grace Ward can complain of the dropping system let the ring- goers declare, who know him and his antecedents too well to stand imposition of this virtuous anger. It must not be forgotten that it is< to this celebrated Eastender that we are indebted for the introduction of the system; it is he who was the Mentor of one of the primest practitioners of that particular branch of his ' old art '— it was he who found out this going down ability of the bold Bendigo; and it is now when the tutelage is turned against himself that he breaks out into this wailing appeal on behalf of his big nominee. If he has been anxious to purify the Ring, why'has he not attended the association and remonstated against the continuation of any rule teudinir to prevent fairness. Did he not kn w be ore the figbt, whlj the match was pending, even to the moment before its action, that the rule was in force? But it was mainly upon that rule that reliance was placed by the daunt party to get out of the fight by waiting for a good claim of foul arising from a fall at the ropes. It was manifest that though a giant may have strength, he may not use it like one; if it were so, then the going down same would be baulked, for then the big- un would have gone right up to his man's head and have dropped him, without any volition on the part of opponent of said giant. This was Paddock's stjle with the Nottingham champion; in fact, it is allowed that Paddock was the only man who effectually collared Bendko's accomplishment of de- votisnal ftehting. The result, however, was tongued as a triumph for the lambs; but there was no ex- champ on to de- claim against the catch. It is a proposition, ' which nobody can deny,* that the Ring is purer in its practices now than at any time during Ward's career. There were prac tices, oompared with which the rule tolerating the con- ditional going down to avoid is a dove- like manoeuvre, for there were buttings, gougings, and other practices of an equally disreputable nature. The raw in Ward's letter is verv visible. He has an objection to a middle weight at- tempting to reach the tree top. Is there any occasion to say that Sayers has more than attempted the position, for he has gained it after a manner that will bear comparison with any- thing ever done by preceding champions. But Jem wishes to have a contest with big- uns, which, is a sight, might afford some comfort to ophthalmic patients ; for, with our present knowledge of the giants, bulky build, a square attitude, and wooden, ineffective delivery, are their salient points. Your paper of to- day shows, however, that the pretensions of the big ones are not yet disposed of, and the Black Diamond may live to see— nav, 1 hope he will live long after having seen— a little one lick a big- un, and so may the other desire of his be gratified. Further, Ward was not the biggest of his day, when he girthed himself with the belt, but then he was the best, and that made him champion; and he might give his advice unaccompanied with a sneer, if he will persist in giving it. It is easier to com mend the good men of a former day than to admire the system of their time; they were great in spite of great difficulty, but no lover of the Ring desired to see the old rales restored. As a modification of the rule, I would suggest that it shall not be competent for a man to go down intentionally, until blows have been exchanged in any given round. This would bring about a rally, and we should get more fight oufe of the time, the referee to be always the sole arbiter of the intention, or the interchange of the counter stroke.— Yours truly, DON. Oct 1, 1857." In addition to the above we have received the following letters :— " Queen's Head, Duke- street, West Smithfield. " October 8,1857. " DEAR SIE: I beg leave to forward you a few words, for the purpose of causing the sudden death of the'dropping system' in prize fights:— " ' That it shall be deemed foul for any man to fall down purposely, unless in a close. That a man shall keep on his feet unlsss forced to go down.' " Should you approve of this clause in articles, I will take the Tty of forwarding another proposition for your consideration, jmaiu, dear sir, yours respectfully, IS, " PETEB CRAWLEY." Editor : I have read with much pleasure the excellent ,- tter of my friend and brother- in arms James Ward. It echoes sentiments, I am convinced, of every man who wishes to Jfeht fairly, and act honourabiy. I sincerely thank the worthy exchampion for his vigorous endeavour to sustain the purity and honesty of that palladium of British courage, the British Prize Ring, and remain, yours truly, BENJAMIN CAUNT.— Coach and Horses, St. Martin's- lane, Oct 9, 1857.— P. S. I beg to call the special attention of all persons intertsted in pugilistic combats to the 13th rule of the P. B. A,, which runs thus:—' That it shall ba ' a fair stand- up fight,' and if either man shall wilfully throw himself down without receiving a blow, whether blows shall have previously been exchanged or not, he shall have been deemed to have lost the battle ; but that this rule shall not apply to a man who in a elose slips down from the grasp of his opponent to avoid punishment, or from obvious accident or • weakness." Have I availed myself of this rule ? Ler, any im- partial spectator of my late fight answer. I contend that I had a claim of victory nearly every round except in those in which I knocked my man down. I make these observations because it appeared in Bell's Lifeih& i my antagonist fought " just within the rules of the ring." Ben Butler wishes us to state that his anxiety for his nephew, and the feeling that he was being bested, was the cause of his using " unparliamentary" language at the late great fight. If he unintentionally insulted any gentleman, he wishes to apolo- gize, and to assure him that nothing but the feeling that he was doing his best for his boy could have induced him to make such a mistake. PROPOSED BENEFIT IN AID OF THE SUFFERERS IN INDIA. During tho past week Bill Hayes, Young Reed, Nat Lang, ham, Jemmy Massey, and other first- class pugilists have for- warded their names to us, to be included in the list of sparrers at the benefit proposed for the sufferers by the Indian mutiny. No day has yet been fixed for the exhibition, but it has been proposed that it should take place in about a mouth from the present time, at the Chandos- street Rooms, and we earnestly entreat that all the members of the profession who are willing to lend their aid in such a humane cause will, before next Friday, forward their names to us, in order that such a programme may at once be prepared as will ensure success. We know, from the repeated instances of generosity exhibited by the boxers of England, as witness in the benefits for the starving Irish and Scofch, for the Patriotic Fund, & c, there is no need to appeal to " their feelings, and we are convinced the intention of holding the benefit has only to become generally k- own to ensure a strong muster. It has been suggested to us by Ned Adams, that the pugilists of Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham only require a hint from us, to induce them to get up benefits for the same benevolent purpose, the proceeds to be forwarded to us, so that the whole sum may be transmitted to the Lord Mayor, as a handsome contribution from the Pugilists of England. FIGHT FOR TUESDAY NEXT. Bos TYLER AND TOPPER BEOWN, £ 50 A SIDE.— The final deposit of £ 5 a side for this match was duly made at Mr Jones's, Duke's Head, Vine- street, Hatton- gardon, on Thursday last. There was a large muster of the Fancy, and a good deal of stormy discussion took place. Eventually, however, arrange- ments were entered into as to the whereabouts. Both men are in first rate trim, and both being clever, an interesting match is to be expected. It is to be hoped that it will be a stand up fight, and that Bos Tyler will for once give up the system upon which he has hitherto relied, of dropping to avoid. The where- abouts may be learned from Dan Distriore, King's Arms, Smart's- buildings ; Mr Jones ; Harry Brunton, George and Dragon, ^ Beech- street, Barbican; Nat Langham, Cambrian, Castle- street ; George Brown, Bell, Red Lion Market; Harry Orme, i Jane Shore, and other sporting publicans. Tyler being a inem- j ber of the P. B. A., the ring will be kept by half a dozen members of the association, viz :— Ned Adams, inspector ; George Baker of Chatham ; Young Norton and Jack Keefe, Ikey Tiney and Young Lynch. Bos Tyler has been under the care of Harry Brunton, of the George and Dragon, Beech- street, Barbican, at > whose house he will take up his quarters to- morrow. Brown will be at Mr Jones's. The lads are to go to scale between twelve and four to- morrow ( Monday), at Harry Brunton's, when neither is to exc" 1"^ 9st 101b. ^ THE CHAMPIONSHIP. TOM SAYERS AND BILL BENJAMIN.— Another deposit of £ 20 a side for this, " the affair" of the season, was duly tabled at emmy Massey's, Crown, Cranbourne- passage, Leicester- square, T^ Thursday evening, in the presence of a room full of company •'• A o^- iyiJenjamin himself was present, and appeared in excellent * J vLvth and spirits. He expressed himself as very confident as result, and intimated that he would not have the match go off on any account. The next deposit of £ 20 a side is to be made at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street, Leicester- square, on Wednesday week. — —— r A slashing fighttook placeon Monday at Hartley Bottom, nea Cheltenham, for £ 5 a side, between Dan Keefe and Jem Paul, which lasted two hours and 45 minutes, during which 127 rounds were fought, when Dan Keefe came off victorious. The losing man takes a benefit on Wednesday next, Oct 14, at Mr Holder's, Wellington Hotel, High- street, Cheltenham. Mr Wootton, of the Coach and Horses, Newport, demands that Gillingham's money shall be sent to him, and to him only. It is impossible for us to say who is entitled to it. Gillinghain himself has demanded it, and now his principal backer says he is the proper person to receive it. How are we to decide be- tween them ? MACE AND MADDEN.— The final deposit of £ 5 a side for this match is to be made at Nat Langham's, Cambrian, Castle- street Leioester- square, on Thursday next. Both men are in close training; Mace at Yarmouth, under the care of Richard Fromow, and Mike near London, in charge of Charley Jenkinson. Mace will leave his training quarters at Yarmouth on Friday next, when he will go to Mr Kerry's, Ipswich Arms, Brook- street, Ipswich. MILLARD AED CEUTCHLEY.— We are glad to find that Sam Millard has taken the prudent course of following his own incli- nation instead of the persuasions of would- be friends in this match. He has forwarded to us the £ 5 he did not put down last week, and he attended at Harry Orme's, Jane Shore, Shore- ditch, on Tuesday last, to make another deposit. This is as it should be. The fourth deposit of £ 5 a side is to be made at Sam Millard's, Globe, Brick- lane, Spitalfields, on Tuesday week. LYNCH AND FINIGHTY.— We have received another deposit « f £ 2 a side for this match. The next deposit of £ 2 a side is to be made at Mr Beard's, Rose Inn, High- street, Gravesend, on Wednesday next. Mr Jones called, on behalf of Fiuighty, to stake his deposit, but as Mr Roberts had done the needful on his behalf, he will stake it next week. CLARKE AND KING.— We have received a further deposit of £ 8 to £ 2 10s for this match made at Nobby Clarke's, Liverpool. The final deposit is to be made at Mr J. Clarke's, Houghton Abbey, Houghton- street, Liverpool, on the 13th inst ( Tues- day next).

DILLON AND WEIGHT.— These men were to have made a further deposit at Alf Walker's, George the Fourth, Cloth Fair, on Tuesday, but Wris? ht did not appear. Dillon was present and claimed forfeit, to which, as far as we can see, he is entitled. He oan have the money on application at our office on Tuesday. TWEDDLE AND NORTHUMBERLAND BILL.— We have this week received £ 30, being the remainder of Bob Tweddle s money, and £ 10, being the second deposit from Northumberland Bill, who must send us another " tenner" on or before the 20th instant. . , , HALEY AND VICKERS.— We' have received the second deposit of £ 1 a side for- this match.

MONDAY, OCT 5.— Notwithstanding that this afternoon was beautifully fine, the attendance was exceedingly limited, and almost solely confined to those whose trade it is to " soak their clay" in Staffordshire. This falling off in the number of visi- tors is attributable to the fact that this was the opening dav of the Autumn Meeting , at Chester, as well as to two or three canine contests beingifixed to come off upon other grounds in the locality of Manchester this afternoon. The only event which came off here lay betwtfen LEE AND BROWN.—?. hese young men are respectively of the county of Stafford ( Lea dating from Etruria, and W. Brown from Stone), and they met at the Salford Borough Gardens to run 140 yards, for £ 15 a side. In accordance with prior arrange- ment, Mr Holden filled the office of referee. The pedestrians contended against each other some months ago, at the Waterfall Grounds, at Endon, » n which occasion Lee defeated his oppo- nent by upwards of six yards, and hence Jhe betting on their race of to- day was 6 to 5 on him. After a few minutes delay they got off, Brown obtaining at least a yard the best of the start, and his length of stride soon be « an to tell in his favour, as, though Lee evidently did all of which he was capable, he failed to reach his competitor, and Brown won, without ever having been headed, by a yard and a half. The joy of the " potters" who had backed the winner was loudly expressed, and one of them, in the exuberance of his zeal, lifted Brown shoulder high, aud carried him in triumph the entire length of the course ; but we could not help thiuking that, had not Lee manifested such an eager desire to get off, it was possible Mr Holuen's decision might have been reversed. NEW MATCH.— HANCOCK AND BBOWN.— John Hancock of Longport and Wm. Brown of Stone ( both in Staffordshire) have signed articles to run 140 yards, for £ 15 a side, at the Salford Borough Gardens, on Saturday, the 7th of November. For this match Mr Holden has received £ 2 each, and this sum is to be increased to £ 5 a side on Tuesday next, to be made into £ 8 each on the 20th, and the remaining £ 7 a side is to be deposited on the 27th. Mr Holden is selected referee, and the men are to start by mutual consent, but if not off in 15 minutes to go by the pull of a handkerchief, G. DARLEY AND J. HANCOCK.— M* Holden has received ano- ther deposit— making £ 10 each now in his bands— for their race of 150 yards, for £ 25 a side, the Champion's Belt, and both shares of the gate- money. The contest is fixed for the 9th of November, at the Salford Borough Gardens.

It had been previously agreed on by the parties that Jackson was to giveKaye £ 3 for " his expenses iu coming up to London from Lancashire, but on being called on to do so he refused to comply until a referee should be first ap- pointed. To thisKayewouid not consent. The match was to have come off between the hours of four aud five, but our reporter hav- ing waited on thecourse uutil twenty minutes past five, and finding no probability of the match taking place, he quitted the ground. With regard to the stakes we have come to the determination of returning each man his own, deducting £ 3 from Jackson's money for Kay's expenses, and we may add that much was not wanting to induce us to stretch a point beyond the actual law by making a forfeit altogether in favour of Kay, to which he would clearly have been'- entitled had fresh articles been signed. Each man must send up his address, and the money shall be immediately forwarded. We understand that another match is contemplated; they IT ust also find another stakeholder.

Bowler soon got in front, kept the lead throughout, and won by four yards.

Wilson ns Tam o' Shanter ( Andrew Frazer) 2 [ The whole of the foregoing return appeared exclusively in our " latest edition" last week, but we repeat the same with concluding remarks upon the running.] |> EOM OUB SPECIAL COBBESPONDENT.] On the completion of the second ties of the St Leger on Wed- nesday afternoon, as reported last week, we had still time for tea courses of the Douglas Cup. Seagull and Colonel were slipped to a rare hare, and had a good struggle for a hundred yards* when the former obtained a slight lead and turned, Colonel osly just obtaining the next, when Seagull took the hare, admitting of no assistance in a good average course, terminating with a kill of merit, After Gainsborough's bye, Sunbeam and Bright Bloodshot beat Best at Home Tam o' Shanter beat Prince ( 1) Ruby beat Cordun: eth ( 2) Raglan beat Coomerango Ruby beat Bloodshot ( 1) Tam o'Shanter beat Raglan ( 1) Sunbeam beat Ruby Ensign were slipped, and had a very even run up. Sunbeam just glancing in for first turn. Both kept well in the line of the hare, and in a nice struggle Ensign obtained the next turn. Sun- beam killing. Climax and Gheisk: The latter hung in the slips, Climax making the first four or five turns. Gheisk then got in aud equalised the points, looking all over a winner, but fell. Climax then bore away without assistance in a tremendous course, to which, however, he did not put a climax, the other having come in for a meritorious kill. Yogi* and Marc Anthony: The latter led well to his hare, and made the two or three first turns, but in an extra long course peculiar to the Greenfield ground was well beaten by Yogie, who showed great bottom and close working powers. Harmonic aud Tearaway: The latter fastest from the slips, but the former, who ran uuder much dis- advantage from the hare frequently turning from him, would not be denied, and won very meritoriously. Banner Blue and Dangerous: The former took a long lead to the hare, bringing her round aud turning several times. The latter then got in, locking very dangerous, for several turns iu succession, but Blue again raised his banner in a longish course, an easy victor. Peacemaker beat Camerino in a course which I did not see. Best at Home and Beacon: The latter seemed to lead at first from the slips, but was passed, and in a short course easily beaten. Bloodshot and Staunton: The former led, taking two first turns; the other then took the hare, and, in a succession of quick, clever wrenches, looked very like winning, but Bloodshot, with a dashing, meritorious kill, landed himself a winner. On Thursday met at Crawfordjohn, and had a fine day, com- mencing in the meadow above the village, and, after two or three runs, proceeding to Eastertown Hill. Albatross aud Tam O'Shauter were slipped at a good hare, which the latter admi- rably handled, putting out a first- class greyhouud. Prince aud Sassenach : A short trial iu the rough meadow, in which the latter was out- paced. Caordunneth aud Sassenach had an un- decide; in their second slip the former led two lengths, and killed. Coomerango and Tatn O'Shauter : A course which I missed. Ruby and Etoile du Nord: This, where the judge and the field stood, seemed au easy victory, the latter blundering at some rails, but a well- known courser stationed at the opposite side of the valley considered the decision erroneous. Raglau and Croxteth: Raglan led round the hill out of my sight, aud on coming in sight again turned twice, the other killing. ST LEGEB.— Third ties: Hippogriff and Zigzag: The former led to the hare, and won well an average course. Soft Sawder shot away from Bit of Riband aud turned, but on attempting the next on a hill face was passed by tke bitch, who well beat the dog, which is six months her senior, throughout a course of good average length. War Office led Destruction, turned and killed. China and Borele: The latter the fastest for the first two or three turns, but the hare making the hill China made several points very steadily, and fiuished a very clever winner. Cadogan and Saucy One had au uudecide, in which the former slightly led to a gate and turned. The latter struck the gate, but immediately flew it, raced up, and killed. In the next slip— a bad one— Cadogati led several lengths, and made two or three points before they joined, having a shade the best of an unsatis- factory trial. Bit of Fancy Jed Glance, made the three first turns consecutively, Glance the next two, and the death unde- cided. Bit of Fancy, on being again slipped, led to the first turn, and very decisively won a shortish course. Barnes, on the upper side, got slightly the advantage of Blue Sky, who passed him aud turned cleverly, winning a short trial. Claude du Yal aud Coudolorado: The former slightly led from slips, but the hare swerving, Condolorado shot up and turned, following up by the next point and a clever kill. Gainsayer led Blackguard in a bad slip, and brought the hare round to Blackguard, who got the next two turns. He then drove her round to the white, who killed. Sarawak outpaced Jardine's Mixture in a longish trial. Ben Yoirlich ran a severe bye with Ben Venue. CUP.— Second ties: Seagull and Gainsay er had two no goes of little merit to either. In their final trial, a well- contested course, Seagull was not to be gainsaid, and won throughout. Sunbeam, on a hill face, cleverly outpaced and outworked Climax iu a nice average course. They did not meet on equal terms, in consequence of the latter's severe run the previous evening. Harmonic and Yogie: The hare harmonising with the former gave him first turn, and he led out of my sight. Blood- shot and Best at Home: The former reckoned the latter best at home, and ran away from him, getting little assistance in an average trial, the hare escaping. Tam O'Shanter aud Prince: The former showed the speed, aud the latter killed in an unde- cided course. In their next trial Tam O'Shanter raced away aud cleverly beat in a moderate course. Caerdunneth and Ruby ran two undecides, the first very equally contested, the second out of the judge's sii? ht. The final trial short and decisive; Caerdunneth led and turned, Ruby challenging him for the next, when fee shut up, and allowed himself to be iugloriously beaten. Ceomerango and Raglan: A long slip on a nice piece of bare lea; a severe struggle to the hare, which Coomerango obtained by two or three lengths and turned, then resigning the commaud to Raglan, who turned thrice. Coomeraugo then went iu again and equalised the points, his rival struggling gamely on, and ultimately taking the hare to himself, Coomerango appearing not to distress himself to render any assistance. Oil Friday morning met at Mosscastle. By arrangement of the stewards only two classes in each stake were set down to be run, and the hares being plentiful this was got through by two o'clock before the weather broke. ST LEGEB.— Fourth ties: Hippygriff was a shade too fast for Bit of Riband, cleverly contesting a longish course at all times in his favour, till the hare broke away, when Bit of Riband ob- tained a go- bye and led into rushes, where they became un- sighted. China and War Office: The latter took a lead of three or four lengths, got first and second turns, and iu making the next ( when apparently safe to win) fell, when China, availing horseif of the mishap, turned thrice quickly; War Office suc- cessfully contesting the next. China then went in, turned, aud made a beautiful kill. Cadogan and Bit of Fancy: A nice stretch just gained by Cadogan, who turned four or five times running, the hare always bending from Fancy, who, however, took the first opening, put in her points quickly, aud finished with a meritorious kill. Condolorado and Bluesky: The latter unsighted from the slips; Coudolorado raced away and rapidly turned twice; Bluesky then went iu and looked well for a mo- ment, but Coudolorado shot by aud killed. Ben Voirlich aud Gainsayer ran even to a tuft ef grass, where they split, the latter killing undecided. In their second attempt Gaiusayer led two lengths, but was passed by Ben, who slightly outpaced him in a moderate course, aud killed with no merit. Sarawak ran his bye with Spunkie. CUP.—- Third ties : Seagull and Harmonic, in their deciding course, had a good trial, the former runuing magnificently, aud although occasionally out of my sight, well won a good average trial, the hare making cover. Sunbeam and Banner Blue: The latter slightly led in a short slip to a bad hare, which doubled back, Sunbeam picking her up undecided. Iu their next trial these two favourites were slipped in a level moss to a racing hare. For the first tura they had a long struggle, which Sun- beam just obtained ou the inside. Banner Blue took the uext, and after six or seven exchanges Sunbeam flashed in a dazzling kill. Ruby and Bloodshot: Tke latter took a good lead and turned, the hare suddenly bending back to a gate, where Ruby killed undecided. Iu their next trial, out of a moss where the judge could not ride, Ruby ran away from Bloodshot, aud had a short course to herself. I was unable to account for the inferior running of the dog as contrasted with his no- go, but was in- formed by a good courser whom they passed, that he was un- sighted. From the judge's and my own position, however, which was for the above reason three or four hundred yards ahead of the dogs, this could not be distinguished. Tam O'Shanter, in his deciding course with Raglan, outpaced him throughout a good average trial. ST LKGEB.— Fifth ties : Hippogriff aud China. The former the fastest, winning a nice trial decisively. Condolorado and Bit of Fancy : A close shave; the former led and made first turn, Bit of Fancy quickly making the next three or four points, when Condolorado raced up and made a magnificent kill. Sarawak led Ben Veirlich two lengths and turned. Ben made the next, Sarawak afterwards outpacing him in a longish course, and killing. CUP.— Fourth ties : Tam O'Skanter and Seagull had a short no- go, Tam being unsighted. In the deciding course, a beautiful trial, Tam led at a great pace, runniug very fresh, turning and takingnearly all the racing points in a good average trial. Sun- beam and Ruby : The former slightly showed from the slips, but stumbled, and in a long stretch to the hare passed and turned, keeping well iu the line of his hare round a knoll, where he again turned, letting in Ruby, who turned twice, and killed out of the judge's sight. On Saturday morning met at Crawfordjohn, in the fresh sun- shine after the rain. Mr White took us to Balgray large pas- ture, where hares were numerous. ST LEGEB.— Sixth ties : Hippogriff ran his bye ( a long one) with Helter Skelter, beating him very handsomely. Condo- lorado and Sarawak : A bad trial; the latter slightly led, but, the hare swerving to Condolorado, gave him first turu, and, keeping well in with his game, he quickly wrenched and killed. CUP.— Deciding Course : Sutibeam and Tam O'Shanter : Both dogs equally fresh. The latter, favoured by a cross slip, went first to the hare, aud turned twice in succession. In attempting the next he fell on his side, and Sunbeam then went in and knocked his hare about in capital fashion, Tam only getting in once in the struggle, which Sunbeam cut short by a clever kill. ST LEGEB.— Deciding Course : Condolorado and Hippogriff : Au unsatisfactory trial to a hare that should not have been slipped at. The former shot away, quickly turned twice, and killed. Among the lots in the St Leger which give promise of being heard of in tho coming season I may particularise Captaiu Arbuthnot's Zigzag, Borell, and Saucy One, the latter an elegant bitch, which takes my fancy even more than the other two ; and the game with which she ran her two first courses raised her into the position of a general favourite. I liked the running of Mr Gordon's two— Gnat and Gainsayer— both of which, though not flyers, show above an average turn of speed, and are very close. Mr Ewing's 1st, barring Jardine's Mixture, which is uot to be classed A 1, was not in form, but he has the blood, and now that he has retained the services of Tom Hackworth, who can bring them out, I expect, ere another month eloses, they will be dangerous competitors. Mr Steel's Soft Sawder, Sweeper, and Sarawak are three fine fast and promising puppies. The five courses of the last- named were very long ones, and were run with great fire andeudurance and won handsomely. Mr Dean, a new member, ran among his lot two good- sized superior bitches by Jamie Forrest ( Dangerous and Destruction) both adapted for close work and pace. The former, notoriously out of condition, made a good fight with Banner Blue in the All- aged Cup, and, I have no doubt, in better circumstances will reward her plucky owner. Mr Hyslop is for- tunate in possessing such a puppy as Hippogriff, which is dis- tinguished alike for symmetry, speed, and resolution. Till the deciding course he outpaced all his opponents, and his severe bye immediately before left him in that course at a disadvantage. Mr West's War Office is a magnificent dog, with great speed and lasting qualities, having been put out in his fourth ties by an unfortunate fall. Mr Borron, as usual, brought out some first- class greyhounds. Bit of Fancy, Bit of Riband, and Blue Sky are rather extra- sized bitches, the two latter about the youngest in the stake. Still I have as great a fancy for others from the same kennel, which were put out in the first- class through the uncertainty of the sport. Mr Campbell's lot also sustained the reputation of their kennel. Condolorado, Cadogan, and Cromarty I may safely class in the foremost rauk. Mr Campbell from the first expressed his confidence in the prowess of the winner, which, however, it will be observed from the details of the run- ning, was lucky iu his courses throughout. Condolorado is, beyond a doubt, an excellent puppy, and, excepting with Bit of Fancy, had not a course iu jeopardy. The Douglas Cup was contested for by eight different coun- ties. Marc Antony aud Croxteth represented Lancashire; Seagull, Sunbeam, Tearaway, and Caerdunneth, Cumberland ; Tam O'Shanter, Dumfries ; Albatross, Prince, and Anah, the Border; Ruby, Raglan, Ta> a O'Shaater ( bk), and Best at Home, Forfar ; Etoile du Nord, Coomeraugo, Cameriuo, Climax, and Harmonic, Ayr; Vogie, Edinburgh; and Colonel, Gainsborough, Bright Ensign, Gheisk, Banner Blue, Dangerous, Peacemaker, Beacon, Bloodshot, Staunton, Sassenach, and Stephano, Lanark. These dogs were the winners of no less than 195 public courses last season, and it will be seen that an English dog has the merit of bearing the palm, the Scotch runner up being from Dumfries. It is worthy of remark, and a great feather in the cap of Bedlamite, that the winners of both stakes are by that celebrated Nottingham stallion. The whole meeting passed off in a most quiet, amicable, and satisfactory manner. The advantage, iu a hilly country like that coursed over, of having for conductor of the field a mau of the independence, experience, and practical ability of Mr White, could not have been rendered more apparent, effectually pre- cluding the danger of jealousy and discontent. Much credit is due to the judge for the satisfactory style in which his duties were discharged, placed as he was in such difficult ground ; and his charge, I understand, was most moderate. The attendance at and interest in the meeting continued unabated throughout its whole five days' duration. I was delighted to see Sir Edward Celebrooke, Bart, M. P. for Lanark- shire, and a party of friends, present on the ground. To him the club are under much obligation for his liberality in affording his grounds and hares free of charge, and his kindness iu this respect is only in keeping with the estimation in which he is held by all classes iu the district. The equestrian party of ladies were present on the field every day, and to the last deciding course, and, although not winuers or connected with winners, they set a proper example to those who were winners or partici- pators in the sport, by leaving five guineas in the hands of the clergymea for distribution to the poor inhabitants of the district. CALEDONIA, OVERTON AND CLATFORD ( WILTS) MEETING.— OCT 6. Stewards : Mr Long and Mr Gundry. Judge: Mr Wentwoith. This club held their first meeting for the season on Tuesday, and iu consequence of the Fast Day and other engagements it was agreed to run four dog stakes and finish in one day. The arrangement I think good, and likely to be followed up. The sport began by Lady Fly and Madeira, the Lady winning with not much to spare. Bridget and The Baker: Bridget was too quick for The Baker, and beat him at all points. Lady Fly beat Bridget in rather a moderate course. Lord of Lorn beat Toper easy. Lilly Dawson beat Imperial Prince at every point. The Lord and Lilly divided. Trickery ran a single- handed course' Hannah not catching sight of the hare. Lucknow and Imp6- rieuse: Lucknow ran his course true, close to his hare all the way, and won, killing in good style. Lorcha aud Lucius: Both won easily, and divided. Letitia Hardy and Dart: A weak hare, the kill gave it to Letitia. Brunette beat Unit with little diffi- culty. Letitia beat Brunette in a moderate course rather easy. Trick aud Rip won their stakes in capital style. Legette beat Lunelle cleverly. The hares ran strong and well. We ran the card through from that capital coursing ground, Clatford Field. The club are indebted to the stewards for their kindness, also to the judge for his satisfactory decisions. The ROCKLEY STAKES, for puppies.

The first meeting of this club took place on Tuesday, Sept 29, at Warner's Cross, about five miles from the city of Cork. IH every respect the sport was first- rate, and the hares, which were extremely numerous, fully maintained their well- known fame for speed and stoutness. All the courses for the day were long and severe, and real trials of merit. Mr Hawkes acted as judge, and his decisions gave general satisfaction. The PUPPY STAKES of £ 110s each. I. .

He was presented by the stewards with a handsome silver flask, on which was engraved the following inscription :—" Pre- sented to Ralph Westropp, Esq, J. P., with the thanks of the members of the Newcastle Coursing Club, for his kindness in acting gratuitously as judge at their meetings on several occa- sions, and to testify their appreciation of the impartiality and sound judgment which have uniformly characterised his up- right and sportsmanlike decisions.— Sept 29th, 1857." GREYHOUND PRODUCE. At Gateshead, Sept 30, Mr Hill's white and fawn bitch Miss Johnson, six puppies, namely, three dogs and three bitches ( three white and fawn, and three white aud black); and on the 3d inst, a white and fawn dog, by Mr Anderson's white and black dog Heart ef Oak. ABDBOSSAN MEETING.— This meeting, which is under the kind patronage of the Right Hon the Earls of Eglinton and Winton, takes place on the 15th inst and following days, at Bog- side Race Course, Eglinton Park. The ground is first- rate— Altcar in miniature— hares plentiful, and everything leads to the anticipation of a good meeting. To the principal stake, open to the members of the Ardrossau and Dairy Clubs, a piece of plate or specie value 25 guineas is added by one of the ma- nagers. This gentleman we may state has given during the last aud present season prizes to the value of one hundred and seventy- five pounds, to be run for by the various clubs in Scotland aud in England, of which he is a member, a fact which may be worthy of consideration and imitation by other successful public coursers. POSTPONEMENT OP SALE OF GBEYHOUNDS.— We understand that the sale recently advertised of a well- known northern kennel will be postponed, in consequence of influenza or dis- temper having broken out in that section of the keunel located at Ardrossau. For this reason only uine out of the sixteen no- minations taken could be brought forward at the Biggar St Leger. Mr John Anderson, of Newcastle, well- known in coursing circles, died a few days since. Mr Wadham's greyhouiid bitch Wanton, the dam of Wayward, Guarantee, Jerry, David, & c, died a short time since. ABDROSSAN CLUB.— M. r Patrick has been appointed judge at the forthcoming meeting on the 15 th inst. THE CHASE.

This celebrated master of foxhounds died on Sunday last, in his seventy- first year. He succeeded to the title iu 1833, at which period Tom Sebright was ia his twelfth season with the far- famed Milton Pack. Latterly his lordship has taken less interest in his kennel, and in fact he was always fonder of his hunting stable, which has included some rare specimens of the Don Quixote, Amadis, and Cervantes blood. It is rumoured that Milton Park and the Northampton estates are left to the Hon George Fitzwilliam. THE GAMEJ) F CHESS. TO CORRESPONDENTS.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. The directors of the Bank of England, at their meeting on Thursday, increased therate of discount from 54, at which it has stood for some months, to 6 per cent. This measure was generally anticipated, in consequence of the exceedingly active demand that has prevailed for money, and also for gold for transmission to the Continent. The reserve of Notes, as well as the bullion, have been trenched upon to a serious extent, aud many are of opinion that further restrictive measures will yet be adopted before the end of the year. The teadency is certainly very unfavourable, especially as financial affairs on the Conti- nent are becoming more and more disturbed. In Berlin, Vienna, and all the chief cities ( excepting Paris, where favourable symptoms have lately been manifested), much stringency is felt, and the Banks in several instances have been compelled to raise their terms of interest and discount. The Bank of England return made up for the week ending the 3d instant exhibits the following results:— The Bullion has decreased £ 613,396, the total being £ 10,662,692, and the notes unemployed were smaller by £ 1,468,120. The other securities advanced to the amount of £ 2,116,143, the amount now standing at £ 21,835,843. The active circulation payable on demand has increased to the extent of £ 805,155. A decline of about 4 per cent has taken place in the value of the English Funds this week, and although business has been rather quiet a disposition has been shown to speculate for a decline. The unfavourable appearance of the Money Market, the antici- pation of unfavourable news from India, and the fact that the Hon East India Company have obtained a loan of £ 1,000,000 sterling, have all tended to depress values, and as there has been no real purchases of consequence to neutralise their influence the quotations have given way to the extent quoted. Consols closed yesterday at 89| to 89^ for money and the 14th inst, and at 89f to 90 for the November account. Exchequer Bills have been firmer, viz, 8s to 4s discount.

Prices, however, have in a great measure been affected by the heaviness in the English Funds, particularly Turkish Bonds, the Six per Cents having declined about 2J per cent, and the Four per Cents Guaranteed 1 per cent.

CHANGE RINGING.— LIVEBPOOL.— On Tuesday last the united societies of St Luke's and St Peter's ascended the tower of St Luke's and rang Mr T.

On Friday morning was discovered at Waterloo Bridge the mutilated remains of the body of a mau, who it is supposed had been murdered, and whose body had afterwards been completely made a thing of threads and patches. It would appear that the murder must have taken place, or the body afterwards re- moved to some private place, where it was subsequently cut and hacked to pieces. Frem the examination ef the garments, there is no doubt that the unfortunate deceased moved in the upper class of society. The crime was brought to light in this way :— At about half- past eight, three youths waited upon Mr Superintendent Durkin, of the F division, at the Bow- street station, and made a statement to the effect that two of them were in a boat rowing on the river Thames that morning, be- tween five aud six o'clock, and as they were about to pass through one of the arches of Waterloo Bridge their attention was attracted by seeing a bundle on one of the buttresses. They pulled up as soon as possible, in order to seize what they considered a prize. When abreast of the buttress they discovered that the bundle which they had noticed was a large travelling or carpet bag. With the assistance of their oars they succeeded in getting the bag into the boat. They then discovered that it was tightly corded, aud that in addition there were some 10 or 12 yards of string, which has led the police to the belief that the cord had been used for the purpose of quietly dropping the bag into the river without making any splash or sound. They took the bag home, and on opening it found portions of a human body, and also some clothing. The police sent for the divisional surgeon to examine the remains. The result of the examination showed the bag to contain a great number of the different portions of a human body of the male sex. The parts found consisted of the legs, arms, nearly the whole of the spinal column, the buttock- joints, and the shoulder- joints. The whole of the head, with several cervicles of the vertebne, the hauds and the feet, were absent. The greater portion of the flesh had been very roughly removed. There were, however, some portions of the muscles remaining on the limbs; these were impregnated with a saline matter of a gritty nature, as if the body had been placed in brine or salted; and it is the opinion of the surgeon and police that such a course had been adopted in order to prevent any smell which might arise from decomposition before the diabolical arrange- ments had been concluded for the disposal of the body. It would appear that the brine or salt had not penetrated through the entire body, the sockets of the hip- joints having on them some amount of flesh, which had become decomposed. From the ab- sence of the head, it is impossible to guess even at the age of the unfortunate man, but from the appearance of the bones of the limbs Mr Painter is of opinion that the deceased was a full- sized, fine robust man. In the bag was also found an overcoat made of a brown mixture, the sleeves lined with red silk, the front fly faced with black silk, and the tails with black alpaca. This coat, which was made of a very fine material, such as only a person , in a good position in life could wear, was literally cut in two up the back, and contained several holes in front about the left breast and lower part, evidently made with some sharp instrument, and was much blood- stained. There was also a single- breasted black cloth frock coat, also in two gieces, cut up the back, saturated with blood, and having oles in it about the left breast and skirts corresponding exactly in number and size with those in the overcoat. There was also a double- breasted black cloth vest with buckle- strap behind, and being like the two preceding garments cut up tho back and in two pieces. The waistcoat also had holes in the front by the left breast similar to those in the coat. A pair of trowsers was also found, cut up the back, saturated with blood, and had several holes about the abdomen. Two shirts were also found, both of which were soaked with blood, and had corre- sponding holes in front. They were likewise cut completely up the back. There was also a pair of elastic lawn drawers, with one metal aud one bone button on the waistband. These were cut, and holes in them the same as the trowsers, and were sa- turated in blood. There was only one sock in the bag, and that was a thick white cotton one. There are no initials, or name, or mark of any description on any one of the articles. As yet the police have discovered no trace of the persons who may have com- mitted the crime. We may mention, however, that one point ap- pears to be satisfactorily established, that the bag was deposited in the place where it was discovered by a female, for it has been ascertained that a rather elderly woman passed through the foot- passengers' toll- gate about twelve o'clock on Thursday night. The money- taker on duty at that time remembers that such a person came up with a large carpet bag, which appeared to be very weighty, and owing to the narrowness of tho turnstile she was unable to pass through with it. The money- taker accord- ingly lifted it over for her, and he asserted, 011 hearing of the discovery, that he took particular notice of the bag, as it had a flower worked in the centre of the material of which it was made. He has, we understand, been shown the bag in which the remains were found, and expresses his ability to swear that it is the one which he had from the woman's hand, and which he lifted over the turnstile. The woman, whoever she is, passed onto the bridge from the Middlesex side, and besides the carpet- bag she carried a brown paper parcel of somewhat large dimen- sions. That parcel is now supposed to have contained the head and other parts of the body which are missing; and it is believed that the womau lowered that parcel into the water, and that it floated away with the tide. THE ABGYIL ROOMS.— At the Middlesex Sessions, on Friday, an application was made 011 the part of Mr R. Bignell for a re- newal of the license for the Argyll Rooms, Windmill- street, Haymarket. The renewal of the license was opposed by Mr Ballantine on the part of the parish of St. James's. Mr Edwin James, Q. C., appeared for Mr Bignell.— Mr Sergeant Ballantine said he was instructed on the part of the authorities of the parish of St James's to oppose the renewal of this license. The Argyll Rooms had become a nuisauce to the neighbourhood, ill consequence of the immense number of prostitutes that nightly assembled there. After twelve o'clock, at which hour the rooms closed, the neighbourhood of the Haymarket presented such a scene of vice that the parish authorities had determined, if pos- sible, to repress the nuisance, arid with that view they opposed the application niw made by Mr. Bignell. Two inspectors of police were examined. They stated that, owing to the attractions of the Argyll Rooms, houses of ill- fame had greatly iucreased in the surrounding streets, and that extra police- officers had to be stationed in the Hay- market after the Argyll Rooms closed; and that the number of drunk and disorderly night charges from that district was almost incredible.— Mr E. James said the attempt to remove the plague- spot of prostitution from this country was much to be applauded, but he did not think the refusal of this license was the right way to set about it. Mr Bignell, the present pro- prietor of the Argyll ROOIBB, had for the last seven years carried ou that establishment, and up to the present time no complaint had been made. He had lately expended a large sum of money on the premises, and it was hard that he was to be sacrificed to the new- born zeal of the parochial authorities. The right way to set about the reformation was to put down those vile places called " night houses," which abounded in the Haymarket, If the vestry did that they would merit the thanks of the public, but to come before the bench and oppose the renewal of the license of the Argyll Rooms because prostitution flourished iu the Haymarket was absurd and uncharitable iti the extreme. The license was refused, only three hands being held up in fa- vour of the application. CBBMOKNE GABDENS.— On Thursday, at the Middlesex Ses- sions, there was a full attendance of magistrates of the county on the bench, to hear the appeal against the refusal of the license for music and dancing to Mr Simpson, the proprietor of Cremorne Gardens.— Mr Sergeant Ballantine, with Mr Metcalfe, Mr Ribton, and several other learned gentlemen, appeared 011 the part of the vestry of the parish and private individuals, to oppose the license.— Mr Edwin James, Q. C., Mr Bodkin, and Mr Poland supported.— Mr Sergeant Ballantine opened his case, and called a vast number of witnesses, who endeavoured to show that the place was a nuisance, from the riot and disturbance that took place at night, their rest being entirely disturbed; but on cross- examination their evidence was entirely destroyed. — After a lengthened discussion the license was granted without restriction.— This decision will be hailed with unbounded satis- faction by all lovers of justice. THE CHOXJEEA.— The GeneralBoardof Health has just sounded a note of warning respecting cholera; and, without being alarm- ists, we believe their timely advice to be most judicious, though the cloud be as yet no bigger tbau a man's hand. Diarrhoea has been more prevalent in London during the autumn months than even the large supply of cheap fruit, the persistent heat, and other present causes suffice to account for. Moreover, when the cholera visited us before it came by way of Hamburg, and now it is there playing terrible havoc again, 170 having; died in one week. So the Board of Health has issued to the district officers and local boards of health a letter of precautionary advice enjoin- ing particular attention to matters that influence public health, and especially dwelling on the importance of guarding aeainst accumulations of whatever may generateoffCKsive animal effluvia, ap. 4 of carefully inquiring into tiig condition of the water supply. When we learn that in previous epidemics the mortality in houses supplied with bad water was three and a half times as great as in others where purer water was obtained, we appre- ciate the importance of the investigation urged by the Board of Health. And the quality of the water more especially demands the attention of scientific inquirers, since its impurities are not detected with the same readiness that a foul, unhealthy odour is perceived, and may thus be unnoticed by ordinary observers.— Lancet. SUICIDE AT THE LONDON BKIDGE HOTEL.— O11 Saturday week an inquest was held on the body of Mr Edmund Taylor. The deceased, the day before, came to the London Bridge Hotel, where he was well known, and ordered some wine. A short time after he was found in the wine- room with his head resting on the table. Ho had a wound in his throat, and was quite dead. A letter on the table, addressed to Mr Middletou, sur- geon, of Bow- lane, disolosed that the deceased was labouring under aberration of mind. This was also confirmed by Mr Mid- dleton, who stated that he had been for some time " under his care, and that he was in the habit of drinking to excess. Verdict — Temporary Insanity. BBIGHTON BOROUGH SESSIONS.—[ Before Edwin James, Esq, Q. O., Recorder.]— At the sessions held ou Monday last, John Phelps, brother of " Joe Phelps," applied for renewal of his license as a " horse- slaughterer," which business he carried on in a very extensive way in that town. It was opposed by the vicar and churchwardens and a large section of " humanita- rians," because the applicant had been convicted of attending a dog fight at Steyning; and it was urged that he was not a hu- mane man, and not fit to be entrusted with the slaughtering of horses. The case excited much interest, and the court was densely crowded. Mr Johnson appeared in support of the ap plication, and Mr Creasy as counsel for the opponents. Evideuce was given at some length ou both sides, and one witness said he uever heard that Phelps was a dog- fighter ; he believed he was a " dog- doctor."— The Recorder : Perhaps it was in that capa- city that he attended the dog fight [ laughter] f— He was the referee [ laughter].— After the case had proceeded to some length, the learned Recorder^ said he saw no ground to sustain the opposition to the liccuse. The applicant might have at- tended a dog fight, but he had been fined for that offence, and as there was 110 complaint as to the manner in which he con ducted his business, he should dismiss the opposition aud renew the license.

PBINCE8S' 8 THEATRE— During the short recess that will ter minate on Monday week, when the Princess's is announced to reopen for the winter season, the house has been so thoroughly renovated that not a square inch of the original surface is now visible. The chief defect, which consisted in a predominance of hot heavy colour, is rectified by the adoption of a light renais- sance style, iti which French white and gold predominate. The panels of the dress circle are adorned with a series of paintings from the works of Shakspere, as performed at the establish- ment. These comprise " The Vision of Queen Katherine," " The Trial of Hermione." " The first appearance of the Ghost to Hamlet," " Richard II. abdicating his Crown," " TheCauldron Scene in Macbeth," " Falstaff contemplating the body of Hot- spur," " Hubert and Arthur," " Titania in her Bower," and " The Interview between Prospero and Ariel in the presence of the sleeping Miranda." Between the panels are a series of the Shaksperian Kings— John, Ricfcard II., Henrv IV., Henry V., Henry VI., Edward IV., Richard III., Henry VII., and Henry VIII.— all at full length aud historically costumed. The ceiling is beautifully painted with au allegorical subject, and there is a superb new drop curtain by Messrs Grieve and Telbin, repre- senting a drapery of crimson tapestry, which, partially with- drawn, reveals a statue of Shakspere. The renovation of the house has been effected by Mr Charles Kuckuck, decorator to the King of Hanover. LYCEUM: THEATRE.— The operatic company now established at the Lyceum, under the joint management of Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr W. Harrison, gained new honours on Monday night by their very admirable performance of Mr Wallace's opera, " MariUna." The principal character does not, indeed, allow Miss Pyue to display all her marvellous powers of execu- tion as in the " Crown Diamonds," but she still delights by the charm which a quantity of pleasing music derives from the sweetness of her voice, tho truthfulness of her expression, and the general fascination of her manner. Whatever she under- takes she exhibits an artist- like confidence, and her audience rest assured that she will go safely to the end of her task without defect or blemish. Maritaua does not show all that Miss Pyne can do, but all that can be made of Maritana is accomplished by Miss Pyne. Mr W. Harrison, who was the original Don C » sar de Bazan, when the opera was first produced at Drury- lane, seems just at home in his old character, singing the music in his best style, asd rejoicing in the swagger that alone in- dicates the dignity of the dilapidated Don. Mr Weiss, as Don Jose de Santarem, Miss Susan Pyne as Lazarillo, Mr Fer- dinand Glover as the King, were all admirably played, and from the beginning to the end of the opera there was not a piece that missed its due effect. Though Miss Pyue is a star of the first magnitude, it is uot on a star system that the theatre is con- ducted, but as much care is taken with the band and choruses as with the adequate representation of the priucipal parts. The excellent conductorship of Mr Alfred Mellon is, in fact, one of the most interesting features of this new series of operatic per- formances. HAYMAEKET THEATRE.— OH Monday night Miss Sedgwick, a lady of considerable provincial celebrity, made her first ap- pearance as Pauline iu " The Lady of Lyons." Differing from several recent candidates for public favour, Miss Sedgwick, at any rate, shows that she is a thoroughly trained actress. Her words are clearly delivered and audible, her altitudes are con- fidently marked out, her points are made with a due knowledge of their capability, and altogether, if her performance is not re- markably genial, it is satisfactory throughout. We have had of late so many exhibitions of the semi- amateur kind, that if Miss Sedgwick really fulfils the promise of her first character she will be a decided acquisition to the stage. Her success with the audience was unequivocal. ADELPHI THEATRE.— Mr Haines's melodrama " My Poll and My Partner Joe," when produced at the Surrey some 20 years since, bocame almost as great a favourite on the other side of the water as its more illustrious predecessor " Black- Eyed Susan." Folks loved to weep over the sorrows of the " jolly young water- man," who, after dancing a " rowing hornpipe" with his sweet- heart, was cruelly pressed and carried off to sea, and then, hav- ing undergone a whole s.- eond act full of fighting, came back iu the third to find his " Poll" married to his " Partner Joe." Folks loved to weep at all this, and to be consoled by the acci- dent at the end of the tale that made " Poll" a widow, and en- abled her to give her hand to her first love. The engagement of Mr T. P. Cooke, who gave the piece its vitality in the first in- stance, led to its revival at the Adelphi on Monday night, when the woes of the bereaved sailor were wept over, for the first time, we believe, ou the northern bank of the Thames. Tke veterau actor, who is now bringing nautical drama once more into fashion, was well supported by Miss Arden, who played Mary ( i. e. Poll), with a great deal of pathos, and Mr Bellington, who acted the " Partner," the comic portion of the sad tale being en- trusted to tho unfailing hands of Mr Wright. The piece was perfectly successful. THE AFRICAN ROSCIUS.— Mr Ira Aldridge, who has just re- turned to this country after a most successful tour in Sweden and Norway, is about to give a course of his admirable per- formances at the City of London Theatre, prior to his departure for Italy.
