Filho's good qualities have been accurately stated before, Fiiho has a light to boast a little of his unusually fortunate family, so near to his own blood, but not at the expense of truth. Giovanni was a good race- horse ; he won nearly £. i, 000 on the turf; he had also two of his granfjsires' sire3 winners of the St Leger out of three. His son Lothario was a winner of more than £ 3,000 on the turf, was a race- horse of the first class, and half- broiher to Filho. Filho's darn, Harmony, produced two winners out of three of the Doncaster St Leger. This is as it ought to be, all by different horses, the stoutness of whose blood is flowing in the veins of Filho, thus counting four out oi' six of their sires winners of the St Leger. Can it be matched in the world? Any person or person with the means may obtain his use to themselves for one season, upon an agreement, if they possess tho spirit to do it.— N. B. Filho has never had but one thorough- bred mare as yet; her produce, at present a dark one, said to be a good horse colt.— Direct, to W. Watson, Dorton, near Tha- re. Oxon. 2.

To avoid this he stepped on to the up line, although this is contrary to the orders of the company, which strictly enjoin that all persons shall step completely off the railway in such cases, aud the parliamentary train coming up at the moment, the unfortunate man was knocked down and killed on the spot. The driver made every effort, by blowing the engine whistle and by shouting, to warn the deceased of his danger, and the latter did make a desperate jump at the last moment, but the buffer of the passenger engine struck him on tha shoulder and threw him under the wheels of the coal- train. The body was shockingly mutilated; the head was severed com- pletely from the body, and was seen to roll over for some dis- tance, aud the trunk was much lacerated. The deceased was sixty- six years of age, an old servant of the company, and greatly respected. SUSPECTED MUBDEB.— On Wednesday evening considerable alarm was created iu consequence of the discovery of the body of a male person in the Regent's Canal, at Twig Folly Bridge, Green- street, Bethnal Green, under very mysterious and sus- picious circumstances. It appears that a young man named George Goathy, a labourer, was standing on the bank of the Regent's Canal, at the rear of the Queen's Arms public- house, whea he suddenly saw a human body rise to the surface of the water. He called several men to his assistance, when the body was got on to the towing path ; it presented a shocking spectacle, there being two large incised wounds in the neck, from which blood was issuiug, and there were also severe con- tusions on the face and body, evidently the result of consider- able violence. The hands were much bruised, and the body had only been in the water about two days. The deceased was conveyed into the Queen's Arms. Mr R. Meldola, the surgeon, of Green- street, attended with promptitude, and ordered the body to be stripped, when it was found to be that of a man, ap pareutly 40 years of age, five feet ten inches in height, light hair, and fair complexion. There were two cuts, about an inch in depth, in the front of the throat, inflicted before death, and the general result of the examination was, that the deceased had come by his death by some foul and unfair means. Thejmarks on the face are similar to those whioh might be caused in fighting. Wken the body was taken out of the water it was without coat and waistcoat; the shirt sleeves were tucked up, and certain dam by Overton out of Gratitude's dam, by Walnut— Ruler— Pira- cantha, by Matchem.

Prussia is often spoken of as being a man whose faults were at. tributable to " weakness." This is a mistake. His supposed V weakness was real iusincerity. He was strong enough and ra- v solute enough in doing whatever he deemed necessary when his own interests were concerned— he was only weak when those of other people were to be considered. His conduct in the Turkish war, and in the Neufchatel business leaves no doubt of the real nature of his character. Had he honourably joined France and England in remonstrances to the Caar, he might have done what he always pretended to b9 desirous to do, prevent the effusion of blood, but he preferred the despotic side, for that was the one to which his own inclinations led hira, and no considerations of humanity had any effect on him. Nor had they when he deter- mined to excite a civil war in Switzerland in order to rob that country of a canton which by the treaty of Vienna had formed from 1815 au integral part of the Swiss Republic. On both oc- casions he was strong enough to do what he desired; he was only weak when pretended weakness would afford au excuse for his abstaining from doing what was not to his depotic taste. His successor can hardly be worse than he, for a pertinacious and selfish insincerity is always productive of the greatest evils, but may he be, and we earnestly hope he will be, much better. It is pleasant to anticipate good, and we shall have hearty pleasure in awarding praise to the new King, if by his conduot he should realise our anticipations. THE PROBATE AND DIVORCE COURT. The Morning Tost announces that Lord Palmerston has offered to Sir Richard Bethell, the Attorney- General, the office of chief judge of the new Court of Probate and Divorce, and that the offer has been declined solely because the learned gen- tleman feared that his acceptance of the office might be construed by the public into a proof that his efforts in passing the bilj which has established the court were not disinterested ! The first part of the statement of our contemporary is odd— the second we cannot but look on as ridioulous. The offioe of judge of this new court is neither, iu point of emolument or rank, one which could, or even should, satisfy the ambition of the present Attorney- General. Holding as he does the very highest place at the Chancery bar, he has a right to expect in due course of time the very highest rank in tho judicial offices of Chancery. Distinguished by talent as well as by in- dustry beyond any of his competitors, he could hardly be expected to accept an office which is not the equal of some already in existence. In the vigour of his age, in the possessiou of a most lucrative practice, he needed no office into the com « parative quiet of which he might retire from the too pressing burden of professional activity. We cannot believe that the offer has been made except as a mere matter of form, in obedience to the established etiquetto which requires that a chief- ship of any court should be offered in the first instance to the Attorney- General before it is bestowed on any one elss. Disbelieving ( except as matter of forai) in the offer of the office, we, of course, look on the reason assigned for declining it as unreal; but it is, in fact, deserving of the character of being absolutely absurd. Is it, ought it to be, a rule of political life that a man must not act in any matter in which his own interest and toe public interests are alike concerned ? No such foolish rule exists. It would be a sad misfortune for the public if it did. A man who devotes himself to a particular subject is likely t* understand more of that subject than any one else. If, by force of doing so, he gets others to adopt his conclusions with regard t s it, and to create an office absolutely necessary to put those conclusions into practice, is he to say " I cannot be the holder o? that office, but some other man less acquainted with the mat- ter must be put into it, for otherwise it would be said that I had an interest in arriving at my conclusions." If he said so, the saying would be simply ridiculous. The only objection to inter- ested motives in a matter of that sort is where they induee a man to act for his own benefit, but in opposition to the benefit of the public. In the other case, where public and private interests exactly harmonise ( and the Parliament has declared that the only Government measure is a real law reform), the greatest public benefit is the result. Suppose that the instant after General Totleben had informed Prince Gortcliakoff how Sebastopol might be defended, and had recommended certain new means of defence, he had declined to take on himself the erection of those defences, and declined on the ground that it might be said that his recommendations had proceeded from interested motives, what would the prince, the army, aud the inhabitants have thought and said of him, and what would have been the sneers of the Allies and the just severity of the Czar r The Post must have talked nonsense in this matter. The offer has not been made, or it has been declined for some sensible reason such as so able and distinguished a man as the Attorney- General would well know how to give. THE CITY AND ITS DEBTS. The Corporation of the City of London is in danger, and feels ' tsalf to be so. It has published a return, the object of which is to present to the public a fair seeming show of good administrae tion, but which leaves no doubt that the City Corporation ha ® not well employed its authority, or frugally used its wealth. Its debt is very heavy, and few have been the efforts to prevent the creation of a debt, or to pay it off after it has been created. It really seems to be a law of corporate bodies that they should themselves occasion their own destruction. Indulging in habits of weakness, of folly, or of extravagance, as if they were certain to endure for ever, they create the demand for the abolition of their authority, and supply the proof that that demand is well warranted. The City of London Corporation seems to have had no idea that it was bound to follow the practice of a prudent man in private life, to limit its expenses within its means, and thus constantly to be accumulating funds which on particular occasions would be required for specific objects of outlay. 16 has wholly ignored such a system. Hence all the works it has accomplished seem to have been accomplished by borrewed money, and the loan system being the easiest, though the least prudent, has been followed with ready activity, as if the funds of the City must, like the liver of Prometheus, always grow in pro- portion to the amount of feeding wpon them. The Corporation will now find that this has been a mistaken, and will be a fatal policy. ______________ To ADVEETISEBS.— Advertisements not eight lines are charged 5s each, and Is for every extra line.

The death of the King of Prussia will perhaps be of importance to Europe, for there may follow from it a change of Prussian policy advantageous to the condition of the whole of Germany This is what people in general anticipate; but they may be dis" appointed, for their anticipations are founded on a matter which has often before deceived the world. The heir presumptive to the Prussian Crown has long been known for a Liberal— that is, a Liberal in the very restricted sense which iu Prussia is at- tached to that word. In truth, assuming the popular opinion respecting him to be true, he may be just what in the days of George III. would have been called a " Radical"— a term of in- finite horror to the political old ladies ef the male sex in those THE GBBAT EASTERN'.— Some idea may be formed of the im" mense exertions that are being made to complete the gigantic hull of the Great Eastern and itsuappurtenances, when we state that there are no fewer than 1,7|) 0 men continually employed upon it, and that workmen are engaged day and night preparing the timber and iron work for the launching cradles, The cost for wages and salaries, to artisans, laborers, aud employes in the building yard, has, we understand, reached the large sum of £ 2,600 for one wtek. These extraordinary efforts arf, wcessary, ' in order that the arrangements shall be completed by the 3d of November, on which day, favoured by the high spring tides, it has been definitely settled tfeat the launch of the leviathan ship shall take place. SAD ACCIDENT AT THE LAKES.— A melancholy accident hap- pened ou Tuesday last, ia the family/ of Dr Bernard, of O& kfiefd House, near Keswick. Dr Bernard has a large number of young people at present staying with him, aud on Tuesday most part of the family, with himself, made an excursion to Helvellyn. In returning, ou arriving at Smeathwaite Bridge, the horse drawing the carriage became unmanageable, and set off at full speed dowu the hill. On coming to the bridge the wheel caught the ledge, and precipitated four of the young gentlemen into the water below, the horse dashing on at a furious rate. Dr Bernard and his lady, with the rest of the party, came up with another con- veyance. Three of the young people were immediately extri- cated. The fourth was supposed to be still iu the conveyance, but this was soon ascertained not to be the case, and on return- ing to the scene of the catastrophe, tke feelings of the parents may be imagined when they found that their youngest son, about eight years of age, was a lifcla- s corpse iu the water. One of the three had received a very serious wound iu the head. He is the son of the late Sir Henry Lawrence, who so lately lost his life in India, and is nephew to Mrs Bernard— Kendal Mercury. THE WESTMINSTER BBI. LS— Our readers will be interested to know that all the Westminster quarter bells are now cast. The notes are B, E ( the octave above the great bell), F sharp aud G sharp. The B bell weighs about four tons, and the other three together a little more than four tons, so that the whole peal, including the great bell of nearly 16 tons, weighs as nearly as possible 24 tons, as originally estimated. If the tower and j the iron beams are ready for them they may be taken up iu the i course of next month, and the clook is ready- to follow them. HEALTH OE LONDON.— The deaths registered in the week ending October l « th, were 993, being about 100 under the ave- rage. Diarrhoea, which was so prominent during the summer, is now reduced nearly within its ordinary limit, and, as com » pared with other diseases of the zymotic class, is thud in the order of mortality. Typhus was fatal last week in 57 cases, scar- latina in 62, diarrhoea in 41, boopiug- cough in 26, meazles in 21s croup in 18, dysentery iu 12, smallpox in 8, cholera in 1. The" four persons whose deaths are returued for ihe week, and who stand highest in point of longevity, are all widows, two of whom had attained the age of 90 years, one 91, and the oldest is a cen- tenarian, whose reputed age is 102 years. The death of the last occurred at 22, Red Lion- street, Clerkenwell, Last week the births of 690 boys and 678 girls, in all 1,368 children, were regis- tered in London. FUNERAL OE THE QUEEN or THE GIPSIES.— One day last week a female, named Lee, and known as the Queen of the Gipsies, and who had attained the extraordinary age of 103 years, was interred in Woodford churchyard, in the presence of several hundreds of spectators. The body, which had been lying in state in a tent in Epping Forest, about three- quarters of a mile from the church, was conveyed to tha place of interment in a one- horse hearse, followed by eight mourners. The " Gipsy Queen" was supported for some time by a number of benevolent ladies resident at Woodford, but as her bodily infirmities in- creased it was found expedient to have her removed to the West Ham Union- house, where she expired about a fortnight since. The expenses of the funeral were borne by her relatives. THE RECENT HEAVY GALES.— The true extent of the havoc occasioned by the equinoctial gales which swept the coast during the latter part of last week is now being ascertained. The shipping off the French coast suffered severely, and several British vessels with their crews were lost. The foundering of the JButjadiugen, London and Bremen steamer, in the North Sea during the late heavy weather, was announced on Wednesday at Lloyd's. Happily jt he whole of her passengers and crew were saved; they were landed at Margate on Tuesday, aud from them we gather the following particulars of the loss:— The steamer left Bremen on Wednesday, with 250 head of cattle on board. She was pursuing her usual course to make the English land somewhere near Lowestoft, when she encountered the fearful weather of Thursday night. A tremendous sea struck her stern, carrying away her rudder and stern- post, and causing her to leak con- siderably. Every effort was made to reduce the leak and re- p& ir the injury, but the gale continuing, all their exertionsproved fruitless. Throughout the wholo of the night and following parts bore marks of blood.

The same of the victim was Coraeiius Donohue; he was an Irish labourer. About midnight on Sunday he was passing down Rosary- street, somewhat the worse for liquor. In ihe street lives another Irishman, named Timothy Burke, and Burke's daughter Ellen happened to be standing at the door. Doaohue had formerly been on terms of intimacy with tke young woman, and, as he parsed her, he said a few words to ber in a sort of rude joke. It is stated that Ellen Burke entertained feelings of jealousy towards the young man, owing to his having paid attentions to some other young woman, but upon his speaking to her she became very angry, and used very abusive as King and actual possessor of it. In all times princes ( heirs to the Crown) have been in oppostion to their respective sovereigns. They have anticipated the enioyment of actual rule, by indulging in the safe disturbance of its exercise, but when once possessed of power they have been very peremptory with any men who have ventured to follow the example they had previously set. No reasonable man will look for the esta- blishment of constitutional Gevernment in Prussia merely be- cause the Prince of Prussia, hitherto a Liberal, becomes King. If he possesses good sense enough to see that the safest throne is a constitutional one, » and that the easiest, as well as the most powerful rule is that which is exerted with the frae consent of a free people, he may be all that the friends of Constitutional Government desire, but cot otherwise. Let us hope at all events that, under his reign Prussia will no longer be dishonoured by the insincerity and the untruthfulness of her King— that Europe will not agaiH witness the stern oppo- nent of honest political associations at home become the mur- derous conspirator abroad— that no Neufchatel insurrection will again be excited, and blood be wantonly and wickedly spilled by a King who, under pretence of humane aversion to bloodshed, aud threatening language towards him. and then, joined by her , <•' „ „ m v, j rv brother and another young man and voman, commenced a most j^ J ™ ? ii^ L^ ilTf!^^ CONSULT Surgeon SCOTT, in confidential cases, at 1.7, Adam- street, Adelphi, Straufi, London, Want of manhood, for medicine.

Flatterers may affect to express deep regret for the death of the Norwegian. The nine passengers, amongst whom were two women aud two children, were first got off, and after several passages of the boat the whole of the crew was conveyed to the schooner. The But jadiugen must have foundered shortly after- wards. She was a powerful, three- masted, iron screw steamer, and was built at Shields three years since. In addition to the 250 cattle on board she had a quantity of merchandise. The lose of the ship and cargo will amouiit to several thousands. Another fine steamer, the Empereur, from Newcastle to Rouen, went ashore near Fecamp on the night of the 9th, during the height of the gale, and eight of her crew were drowned , she is said to be a total loss. This was the first voyage ® f the unfortunate ves- sel, which was to open a new line of trading steamers between the Tyne and Bouen. She was of a peculiar build, in order to navigate the Seine, and had a large cargo of coals. It appears that the unfortunate fellows who perished took to one of the ship's boats, and endeavoured to effect a landing, when the surf capsized it, and they perished. Their names were Praacis Smith, aged 27, of Liverpool; Thomas Hutchinson, 22, of New- castle; John Blackey, 20, of South Shields; John Ryan, U, of Templemore; William Watson, 31, of Sunderland; James Sar- gison, 25, of Cockermouth ; Launceiot Score, 25, of Keriilworth ; aud Hugh Campbell, 32, of Newcastle. Most of the bodies have been cast up and buried. On the coast of Ushar. c, two English vessels were lost and the whole of their hands.

Let not this be thought a severe estimate of his character, j Truth should alvsjfi bs told, eyeu of Sovereigns, The King of1 the Bevenue Rocks, and six of the crew perished, the master and an apprentice being the only ones saved. The gales swept along this part of the Channel with great fury. The emigrant ship Stebonbeath, Captain Connell, which left Plymouth a few days . since, with 350 Government passengers for Sydney, is re- ported to have put into Bordeaux, being unable to make way against the gale.

AETILLEEY OVEELAND TO INDIA.— The splendid screw steam- ship Australasian, Capt J. Sceales, belonging to the Royal Mail Companys left Southampton on Monday afternoon with a heavy mail for Malta, Egypt, Aden, Ceylon, the Australian and New Zealand colonies, £ 30,320 in 3pecie, jewellery value £ 2,000, and a full cargo, including a large quantity of military stores, She also takes out a total number of about 150 passengers ( a few of whom join the ship via Marseilles), among whoia are thirteen Officers of the Royal Artillery, and a number of medical man attached to the army on their way to India by the overland route. Two companies of the Royal Artillery, numbering 221 rank and file, also embarked by this steamer for the same desti- nation. The troops, comprising three officers and 110 men of the sixth company 11th battalion, and six officers and 111 men of No. 8, Captain J. E. Thring's company, 2d battalion, Royal Artillery, arrived at Southampton at midday on Sunday by rail- way from Woolwich. They embarked immediately on board the Australa< siau, which went out of dock between four and fire o'clock the same afternoon, enthusiastic cheers being exchanged between the troops and the crowds of spectators who had as- sembled in the docks to witness their embarkation. The gallant ship lay to in the river off the West India buoy till Monday, When she received the remainder of her mails, and sailed about four o'clock in the afternoon. The following is a list of the Artillery officers who have sailed in the Australasian:— Liewt- Colonel E. Maberly, commanding; Lieutenant George J. Smart, acting adjutant; Lieutenant T. B. Strange, acting quarter- master; Captains J. E. Thring and W. N. Waller; Lieutenants Robert C. Smith, H. A. Tracey, J, Robertson, Samuel Cotter Kyle, E. de L. Tarleton, and E. C. Cuthbert; Assistant- Surgeon Andrew R, Smith. MOVEMENTS OF TEOOPS AND TEANSPOETS,— The Austria, steam transport, Capt Heytman, which left Cork on Monday week for Kurrachee, with the 94th Regiment, put into Plymouth on Saturday week in a very disabled condition, having on Tuesday encountered a violent gale, during which four of her boats were washed away, and two others seriously damaged; her decks were swept by the heavy seas, the bulk- heads of the troop- deck washed down, and she has arrived having a considerable quan- tj of water in her hold and cabins. During the gale one of the diers lost hi3 life, having been washed overboard with one of the water closets ia which he was at the time.— Intimation was reoeived. by telegraph, on Friday afternoon week, from the War Office, that the 67th and 69th Regiments, stationed in Plymouth garrison, are to hold themselves in readiness for immediate em- barkation for India.— The officers avid men of the 98th Regiment who were left behind on the embarkation of the service com- panies of that corps for India have been directed to proceed from Dublin to Chatham, for the purpose of joining the 2d battalion at that garrison, under the command of Col. R. N. Phillips, The 10th and 21st companies of Royal Engineers, for service in India, assembled at Chatham on Wednesday morning, at seven o'clock, on the parade of Brompton barracks, for inspection by the com- manding officer, Colonel H. Sandham ; the strength of the two companies consisted of 254 men. After inspection, the troops embarked from the Queen's stairs in boats belonging to hsr Majesty's ship Wellesley, and were put en board the screw steam- ship Dutchman. The following are the names of the officers who have gone out, with the companies:— Capt A. Fisher, Lieut George R. Thaine, Lieut George Longley, 10th company; 21st company, Capt G. Neville, Lieut W. B. Gossett, Lieut J. B. Edwards, Lieut Edward Pesting, and Lieut Charles Webber; both the latter officers go out as supernumeraries. Assistant- Surgeon Samuel H. Kalahari, Royal Artillery, and St& ff Surgeon Mould are the medical officers gone out in medi- cal charge of the troops. Capt G. Goldsmith, C. B., oaptain- superintendent of the dockyard, was present, and super- intended the embarkation, and furnished several sick cots, in case they should be required during the voyage. It is understood to be the intention of the authorities at the War Office to remove the BOO men now being raised in Sheffield to Chatham as soon as the number is completed. It is not un- likely that the whole of the men will be drafted into the same corps, and the 98th is mentioned as the regiment to which they will be attached.— The number of recruits arriving at Chatham is considerably on the increase, and since the recent order was issued from the Horse Guards upwards of 1,000 have joined the Indian battalions at gam? 98: M& tional recruiting parties Ij& ye Swa seal but from the head quarters of the Royal Engineers for the 4th, 10th, 11th, and 21st companies of Sappers and Miners in India. It is expected that the reduction of the standard will induce a large body of men to join the Royal Marine Light Infantry. The 76fch Regiment arrived in Dublin on Tuesday from Nova Scotia. On Sunday evening, at four p. m., the Jura screw steam trans- port arrived in our harbour ( Queenstown), after a most splendid passaae of ten days and four hours from St John's, New Bruns- wick, bringing with her the full strength of this gallant regi- ment, 82 officers, 668 rank and file, 104 women, and innumerable children. The Jura has made, we believe, in this trip one of the most expeditious passages on record, having completed her voyage from Queenstown to St John's, discharged freight and oargo, and taken in troops, & c, and returned to Queenstown within 23 days. Shortly after she left St John's the bolt of her screw broke in the Bay of Fundy, andfshe was detained for up- wards of ten hours, while she was being refitted by her chief en- fineer. She then proceeded on her voyage, and accomplished he distance to Queenstown in an incomparably short space of time, and in the most agreeable and satisfactory manner to all on board. The regiment still remain on board the ship, their destination not having reached them from official sources. The strength of the regiment who have arrived per Jura is aa fol- lows :— Lieut- Colonel Lloyd, Lieut- Colonel Gardner, and Brevet- Major G. F. C. Scott, Captains: H. Brewster, Fenwick, Tydd, Ctetor, Lacy, Bland, Preston. Lieutenants: Clarke, Robinson, Caldecott, Tripp, Acton, Palliser, O'Connor, Allardice, Corranoe. Ensigns: Lee, Sawyer, Hooper, Arnold, Wyllesworth. M'Donnell, and W, Clarke Paymaster Hearne^ Adjutant Clarke, Quarter- master Tyler, Surgeon Scott, Assistant- surgeons Prazer and Macarthur. On Thursday morning the following reinforcements left Chatham garrison and embarked on board the steamer Southampton for Kurrachee, for the purpose of joining the head- quarters of their respective regiments in India:— 7th Royal Fu- siliers, 31 non- commissioned officers and men; 27th Euniskil- lens, 15 men; 61st Regiment, 12 men ; 70th Regiment, 16 men; Slst Loyal Lincoln Regiment, 30 non- commissioned officers and men; and S7th Royal Irish Fusiliers, 19 men; total 123 men of all ranks. The officers who accompany the troops to India are ; Captain S, C. Jackson, 70th Regiment, and Lieutenant A. N. 1 Montgomery, 7th Fusiliers.— On the same morning, at Woolwich, the Prince Albert, Captain Youughusband, laden with a full cargo of ammunition, guns, and other military stores, re- ceived Major Gardiner's D troop of Royal Horse Artillery, con- sisting of Major Gardiner, Major Earle; Lieutenants Sterling, Hill, Tillard, Woodward, and Lord ; and 203 non- commissioned • officers and privates, and steamed down the river at noon for Portsmouth, to fill up with troops of the line, thence for 1 Calcut'Sk, MILITIA.— By an order from the War Office, the Royal Berks Regiment of Militia ( with the exception of a dep6t oompany left under the command of Captain Maitland) was removed t ® Alder- sliott Camp on Saturday week.— The Northumberland Artillery Regiment of Militia was inspected on Tuesday by Colonel Doug- 1 lag, in Tynemouth garrison, previous to being disbanded.— The Durham Artillery Regiment of Militia is assembled at present in Sunderland barracks for the usual drill. The men are making creditable progress.— The following regiments of militia will be < immediately embodied for garrison duty:— Bedford, 2d Royal Cheshire, 2d ( South) Devon, 3d Gloucester, Leicester, Nortbamp- | ton, Shropshire, 1st West Norfolk, 1st Surrey, 1st Staffordshire, i 1st Tower Hamlets, Worcester, 2d West York, Sussex, Stirling, awd Aberdeen. These regiments will form an addition of about 14,000 men to our home establishment. About 3,000 of the Irish I militia will also be embodied forthwith.— The Prince of Wales's Royal Regiment of Renfrew Militia at the commencement of the late war was the first Scotch Regiment that volunteered for active service. When the men were mustered on Thursday and Friday week to receive the annual bounty, they volunteered to proceed on any service her Majesty might require. The regi- ment is complete, and anxiously awaits the order for re- etnboai- ! ment. The Royal Denbigh Riflo Militia are complete in num- ! bers ( 465), and are desirous of being embodied.— Four sergeants i proceeded on the 11th inst. to Barnet as drill instructors to the 2d Middlesex; another sergeaut has been at Bury for some time assisting the 7th Lancashire Militia.— The Oxfordshire Militia, under the command of Colonel Bowles, marched into Woolwich garrison on Monday evening.

OBITTTAEY.— Retired Captain William Coote died recently at his residence, 15, Promenade, Cheltenham, in the 76th year of his age. He entered the navy Oct 3, 1794, as midshipman on board the Royal George, 100, Captain William Dornett, bearing the flag, in the Channel, of Lord Bridport, with whom he re- mained four years, until paid off at the peace. He afterwards served in succession on board the Diasa, 38, Captains Faulkner andFraser, on the Irish station; Brazen, 18, Captain James Hanson, which vessel was lost near Brighton, Jan 26, 1800; and Yenus, 82, Captain Thomas Graves, in tfee West Indies. After a further attachment of a few weeks to the Glory. 98, Captain William Champain, cruising in the Channel, Mr Coote joined, Dec 8,1804, the Agamemnon, 64, Captains John Harvey and Sir Edward Berry; and had thus an opportunity of participating : in the victories achieved off Trafalgar and St Domingo, Oct 21, I 1806, and Feb 6,1806, on which latter occasion be was unfortu- nately wounded. Being next appointed to the Erebus, 32, Cap- j tain William Selby, he gallantly volunteered the command of; her boats on the night of the 2d January, 1807, and succeeded in cutting out two of the enemy's vessels, under a most tremen- dous fire from the batteries near Pearl Rock, Martinique. He was again, however, so desperately wounded as to be totally de- prived of sight, in consequence of which misfortune he ulti- mately obtained a pension of £ 400, also a gratuity from the Patriotic Fund, and was elevated to the rank of commander, by commission, dated May 6, 1807. The retired rank of post cap- r, ,., teiu was conferred upon him Sept 10.1840. MOVEMENTS OF SHIPS OP WAE.— VESSELS IN PROGRESS, & C.— A large 91- gun screw steamer, to be called the Atlas, has been commenced at Chatham dockyard on the slip from which the Renown, 91, screw- steamer, was lauuched.— The Persian 12- gun sloop has arrived at Sheerness. She is intended for service on the south- east coast of America.— The screw steam- sloop Lyra, 9, lately constructed at Deptford, is ordered to be got ready at Woolwich, together with the iron paddlewheel steam- vessel Triton and the paddiewbeel steam- sloop Ardent, as they are required for commission, WBECK OF THE SCHOONEE OCEAN— During the gale which blew from the S. 8. W, on Thursday morning week the schooner Ocean, of Llanelly, Captain Edwin Bentley, bound from New- castle to Plymouth with coals, was observed to be about three miles south- west ofNewhaven, in distress. Her head masts wero gone, and she was obliged to run before the wind. She attempted to enter the harbour, but as there was not sufficient water, drifted into the bay at tfee back of the pier. This occurredat about seven o'clock. Wheushe struck, two boats were immediately sent out to rescue her crew. The sea was running mountains high, and although there appeared to be great danger in the effort which was now being made to save life, the men in the boats pulled like true heroes. They soon reached the vessel in distress, and saved the crew, with ali their clothing and effects, leaving the vessel at a time when there was not the most remote hope of saving her. About two o'clock of the same day the Ocean broke up, and is now a total wreck. SUICIDE IN MABYLEBONE.— On Monday an act of self- destruction was committed by a person named Taylor, in Char- lotte- mews, near the Middlesex Hospital, and who was in a very respectable position of life, the unfortunate deceased being the proprietor of several houses in the parish. It seems that the deceased rose at his usual hour in the morning, and there was nothing in his manner to particularly attract the attention of his wife. Shortly afterwards she heard a fall in th ir bedroom, and on going upstairs found the hapless man lying on the floor, with his head nearly " Severed from his body by a fearful gash he bad inflicted across his throat with a razor, which was near him. Medical aid was instantly sent for, but as might be conjectured, from the fearful nature of the wound, the vital spark had fled. The act was apparently as deliberate as it was frightful, for before inflicting the wound the deceased appeared to have stood over a pan, into which the blood flowed, until he fell from ex- haustion to the ground, The Overland Mail arrived in London on Thursday night, and the news thereby is certainly more cheering than any we have yet received since the outbreak of the mutiny. The following is from the summary of the Bomb<* y Times, Sept 17 :— " The Indian revolt has not, during the last fortnight, been marked by any very stirring events, and neither of the contend- ing parties has gained any decisive advantage over the other. The British forces throughout India have been inactive, await- ing reinforcements before striking the final blow which wil1 crush the hopes of the mutineers. On the whole, however, our prospects may be considered cheering; for while the rebels have obtained no fresh accession, we have had considerable ac- cessions of strength by the arrival of fresh troops, both in Bom- bay and Calcutta. When these reinforcements reach the seat of war in the disturbed provinces our armies w, ill be enabled to resume offensive operations and bring affairs to a crisis. " General Havelock, who had reerossed the Ganges after his unsuccessful attempts to relieve Lucknow, rested for a few days at Cawnpore, his troops having been much crippled by sickness. On the 16th of August the force marched towards Bithoor, where a large body of the enemy, about 4,000 in number, witk two guns, was posted. They occupied a strong defensive po- sition in a village to the west of Bithoor, which they desperately defended. Havelock's force mustered 1, SJ60 men, with about 14 guns. The ri* ht wing was towards the Ganges, and the left oa a deep nullah crossed by a bridge. After an obstinate engagement, in which the enemy lost 250 killed and wouuded, they were driven from their position and fled in confusion, leaving their guns behind. In this combat the British troops lost about 14 killed and 30 wounded, besides some of their bag- gage. After the action Havelock's force retired towards Cawn- pore, where they arrived on the 20th of August, after a harass ing and fatiguing march, during which they suffered severe privations, which were patiently borne by our gallant soldiers. Cholera had made its appearanoe among the men, carrying off 10 or daily, but the ravages ® f thitfepidomic had since begun to abate. The medical arrangements in theoamp, owing to gross neg lect on the part of the Bengal government, are very defective, so that it is not surprising that so much sickness should have pre- vailed. The greatest carelessness seems to be exhibited in looking after the health of the soldiers, and even those on garri- son duty in such stations as Allahabad and Benares are not sup- plied with proper accommodation. If this state of things is not remedied in time the troops on their way from England may be decimated by sickness on their arrival, and we shall thus have a repetition of Crimean horrors. Another instance of mismanage- ment was the delay which occurred in sending reinforcements to Cawnpore, as the regiments proceeding up from Calcutta were detained many days at Diuapore, while it was well known that the garrison of Lucknow were in imminent peril. The various corps were « lso broken up into detachments, which are scattered over the oountry to guard unimportant stations, instead of acting unitedly against the main body of the insurgents. This mischief has been created by allowing the civil servants to interfere in the disposal of troops— a system which caused all the blunders of the Affghan campaigns, and the disasters which followed at Cabul. While General Havelock has barely 1,500 men to cope with the large masses of the insurgents in Oude, about 8,000 British troops are dispersedover the lower districts of Bengal, where they can be of no use to our cause. Since the arrival of Sir Colin Campbell a greater degree of energy seems to have been infused iato the proceedings of the Executive, and troops are being pushed for- ward to Cawnpore as rapidly as possible. General Outram arrived at Allahabad on the 1st of September, with her Majesty's 5th Fusiliers, 90th, and a compauy of Artillery. With this force he hoped to reach Cawnpore on the 9th inst. The details of her Majesty's 64th, 78th, 84th, and 1st Madras Fusiliers would follow on the arrival of Capt Peel and his Naval Brigade at Allahabad. Sir James Outram had communicated his arrangements to General Havelock, who had in reply stated his perfect confidence in his being able to effect the relief of Lucknow with these reinforcements. General Outram had, with characteristic ge- nerosity, announced to General Havelock that ' to him should be left the glory of relieving tmeknow, for whioh he had so nobly struggled, and that it was his intention to accompany the force in his civil capacity only, placing his military services at the dis- posal of General Mavelock, if necessary.' General Havelock was to make arraagements for the force to move forward from Cawnpore on the arrival of the reinforcements. The rebels have assembled on tke Oude side of the river, opposite to the British camp, in great numbers, and have thrown up a battery. " The- garrison at Lucknow, although reduced to ( treat straits, are bravely holding out, and will no doubt do so until relieved by General Havelock. For some time the situation of the belea- guered garrison was believed to be desperate, and the worst fears were entertained regarding their fate, as no tidings had been received from them. Letters have since been received, stating that the garrison of Lucknow had communicated with General Havelock, and advised him not to run any risk in at- tempting to relieve them, as they had provisions enough for six months ; that the attacks of the enemy were becoming fewer and fainter, from the want of ammunition, it was supposed; and it was believed that the enemy were quarrelling among them- selves. The latest intelligence receive* from Lucknow is that 1,000 of the rebels had collected, and these, with the ilite of the rebel force, made an assault on the devoted garrison. They were repulsed with great slaughter, 200 of the Ghazees being killed, and a great many of the wounded had since died. There wa3 a want of proper food for the ladies and children, but the garrison get beef, and have plenty of grain. They have been ordered to hold out to extremity, and, with the fate of Cawnpore before their eves, it is pot likely that they will enWrtaia the idea* of Surrender, with help so close at hand. A letter from Cawnpore, dated the Slst of August, says that * at present the garrison of Lucknow is all right and in good spirits.' " From Delhi we have no news of much importance, although the British troops have become bolder in their attacks upon the enemy, who have been defeated on every occasion. General Nicholson's column, consisting of her Majesty's 52d Light In- fantry, a wing of her Majesty's 61st Foot, and several Sikh corps, arrived in the camp en the 11th of August. The auxiliary force furnished by the sovereign of Cashmere, fully equipped, is also marching to join General Wilson's army, which will then be strong enough to act on the offensive. Lieutenant Hodson, with a small body of troops, had proved successful ag* inst the insur- gents in the Rohtuck district, whom he dispersed, killing about 80 of them. General Nicholson, with about 2,000 men and 16 guns, marched on the 25th of August in the direction of Nuzuff- gnur to meet a body of the enemy moving on that place, who were evidently bent on interceptiMg the siege train by a flank march on Soneput. On the following day the rebels were de- deated, after a short encounter, in which they lost 13 guns, be- sides their camp baggage. The loss in General Nicholson's brigade was 17 killed and wounded, including Lieutenant Lums- den, of the 68th Native Infantry, who was killed. Lieutenant Gabbett, of her Majesty's 61st Foot, died of his wounds ; and Lieutenant Elkington, 61st, and Dr Ireland were both danger- ously wounded. On the same day the mutineers iu the city, thinking that most of our troops had gone after their detach- ment, made an attack on the camp, but it produced no impres- sion, and was repulsed with heavy loss. After their departure at Nuzuffghur the mutineers were much disheartened. Our troops were preparing for active operations on the arrival of the siege train, which was on its way to the catnp, and were delighted at the prospect of doing something. " At Hissar, in the province of Rohilcund, the rebels have likewise been defeated in their- designs. A body of upwards of 2,080 men, horse and foot, attempted to surprise the gates of the town on the 19th of August; but Lieutenant Mildsiay, Assistant Political Agent, who received a timely warning, mfjt the as- sailants with some loyal troops, and totally routed and pursued them, after killing 300 of their number. Other affairs of minor importance have taken place. " At Agra all was quiet up to the 27th of August, the date cf our latest advices. - On the 21st a force, consisting of about 150 of the 3d Europeans, under Captain Strover, three guns under Lieut Griffin, and 30 mounted militia— the whole under the command of Major G. J. Montgomery, brigadier- major, left the fort with the view of making a demonstration against the in- surgents in the neighbourhood of Hattrass. The " force entered that place without opposition, but intelligence having been re- ceived that a large party of the insurgents from Allyghur was moving down to attack him, Major Montgomery promptly re- solved to anticipate them, and accordingly marched out to meet the rebels, who retired into a garden, where they were protected by a wall, and sheltered among the trees. An ineffectual fire was opened on them, to which they smartly replied, when the fanatics had the audacity to rush from under cover right upon the 3d Europeans, then m skirmishiug order, and endeavour to cut them down with their swords. A series of hand- to- hand combats then took place, which ended in the enemy being driven away, leaving 300 dead behind. The remainder fled, pursued by the militia cavalry, and mowed down by the artillery. In this affair, which occurred on the 24th of August, Mr J. O'Brian Tandy, late manager of the NortWWestern Bank in Calcutta, and Ensign H. L. Marsh, of the 16flf Grenadiers, who accom- panied the force as volunteers, were killed, and Lieut Longue- vills Clarke, late of the Gwalior Contingent, was severely wounded. The total loss on our side was 5 killed and 2* 5 waunded. After the action Major Montgomery, although pressed to follow up his success, fell back upon Hattrass. " The Punjab continues quiet, although several outbreaks have occurred at isolated stations, which have been promptly suppressed by the firmness of the military authorities. " Affairs have begun to assume a most serious aspect at Neemuch, and the men of the 2d Light Cavalry can hardly be relied upon for, independently of private huslied- up rumours, which ascribe to them the darkest treason, the numerous deser- tions that have taken place, combined with the overt mutiny of one squadron of this corps, justify the presumption that they will en masse avail themselves of the first favourable opportunity to join the rebels. This opportunity may not be far distant, for large parties of men, under a person said to be a son of the King of Delhi, who has lately joined and concentrated them, have established themselves in the neighbourhood of Neemuch. " Iu the Bombay Presidency we have been comparatively quiet, and no fresh disturbances have occurred." DEPOSITION OF SCINDIA.--" We ( Madras Athenceum) have learnt by electric telegraph from Bombay that there was a revo- lution at Gwalior on the 25th of August. The troops rose against Scindia, deposed him, and placed a desceadant of ' Simoor' on the musnud. It i* likewise stated that the Bhopul contingent has mutinied, and deposed the Begum, but we are unable to vouch for the accuracy of this latter report." The following is the editorial review of the Bengal IIur7caru of Sept 9 :—" When the last mail left we were entering upon the Mohurrum— that season during which tha Mohammedans often work themselves up into ungovernable fury. Tbauks to the precautions forced upon the Government, the dreaded week has tided over without the smallest attempt at disturbance or insurrection. Meanwhile, every eye has been turned upon Luck- now, and our heroic countrymen there, who have so long de- fended their position against enormous odds. Their fate has been trembling in the balance. On the 10th of July last inti- mation was conveyed to Government that their provisions were sufficient to support them for six weeks. This brought them up to the 22d of August. That day, however, approached, and there were no signs of relief, but General Havelock, though he failed in his attempt about that time to relieve Luckaow, so far suc- ceeded that he drew the besiegers upon his small force. This enabled the beleagured garrison to make a sally, which was not only successful as to the destruction of the enemy, but enabled them to bring in a further amount of bullocks, sufficient for about three weeks' consumption. It was then cal- culated that they could hold out up to the 9th or 10th of September, and it was hoped that reinforcements, consisting of the 5th Fusiliers and 90th Feot, would reach pawn pore at the latest on the 1st idem, and thus easily enable General Have- lock to effect the relief of the garason before the 9th. There is, however, an old adage that too many cooks spoil the broth. Sir Colin Campbell had not been allowed at that time to take his seat in council, and, he, therefore, could exercise no effectual control over the movements of the troops. These movements were in fact subjected to the control and caprice of men who ought never to have been allowed to meddle with them. Colonel Birch, the military secretary; Mr J. P. Grant, obstructor gene- ral in the central provinces ; General Outram, and the officers commanding at Dinapore and Benares, had all' fingers in the pie,' and the result was that the two regiments on reaching Mirzapore were called back to Dinapore, ana then sent on again in the Mirzapore and Allahabad direction. It is but fair to General Outram to add that letters recently received assert that the recal was in no way his deed, and that he disapproved of it from the first. Be that as it may, the subject is one which de- mands a searching inquiry, and the possession of high office either in the civil or in the military department should not be allowed to screen the culprit. A delay of ten days was by this mismanagement caused at a most critical period, and, but for the marked intervention of Providence, , must have proved fatal to our countrymen at Lucknow. Happily, however, another opportunity presented itself for making a sortie. This time it was attended with greater success than ever. More than 100 of the enemy were blown is to the air by a mine; a 24- pounder mn which had greatly annoyed them was spiked, and large supplies of provisions were secured. The garrison now consists of about 500 men, of whom 150 are in hospital ; there are also about 300 women and children, who have gone through all the dangers and hardships of the siege, certain ( for the fate of the Cawnpore garrison had reached them) of a cruel death if compelled by famine or any other cause to surrender. We may now almost look upon their relief as secure — humanly speaking, it is quite so. General Outran), with 1,300 men of the 5th Fusiliers aud fQth, was at Aliahabau QU the 1st inst; they were expected at Cawnpore on the 11th. There they would find General Havelock with 1,100 men and 20 guns, some of them of large calibre, and a strong conviction was felt that such a force urged on with determination would be sufficient to overcome the opposition, great as it was likely to be, waiting for it on the Lucknow road. " From Delhi we receive cheering intelligence; the insurgents had commenced fighting amongst themselves, and the King had transmitted a secret message to Mr Colvin, offering to give in, provided he was replaced iu the position he occupied before the revolt. It is to be hoped that this offer was rejected with scorn, but the Government have acted so strangely on so many occa- sions, that no act of theirs, however fraught with folly, would surprise the public. Our army occupied an unassailable posi- tion before Delhi, and had been largely reinforced by the move- sable column, consisting of her Majesty's 52d, and a wing of the ^ lst, with some Sikh corps, under Brigadier- General Nicholson, a young soldier, but one marked out for distinction. Shortly after his arrival in camsp the Neemuch and Bareilly mutineers made a strong effort to attack our forces in rear. General Nicholson was sent out against them with his division, and com- pletely defeated them, capturing twelve pieces. It is believed that the final assault upon the imperial city will not be much longer delayed. Sir Colin Campbell, it is rumoured, has sent up orders to make short work of them, and General Wilson is not the man to retard the execution of suoh an order a single hour. In connection with the siege of Delhi it may be stated that Mr Greathed, late Commissioner of Meerut, had received instructions to try and ascertain from the wounded sepoys or deserters the real cause of the revolt. In every cas the reply was the same,' The cartridge.' It is now evident to all that the insurrection is of Mohammedan origin, that it was most skilfully planned and widely spread, that the annexation of Oude placed a weapon in the hands of the leaders of the insurrection of which they most ately availed tnemselves, and that the cartridge was the real instrument with whifththe Mohammedans worked upon the credulity of the Hindoo. Many landowners and nobles were concerned in the plot, and almost all the native civil functionaries; no fact has been more clearly established than that our Government has no hold OK the affections of the cultivators of the soil. In India, as in France, the soldier is the representative of that class, and scarcely an instance can be recorded of their having remain- d faithful to their European masters. As evidencing the opinions of the natives themselves on the subject, the following distich, composed by the King of Delhi, who was always proud of his pretensions to be ranked as a poet, may be quoted :— " ' The mighty English, who boast of having subdued Rooss and Ir& n, have been vanquished in India by a single cartridge.' " The province of Behar, and the districts around the cities of Benares, Patna, and Mirzapore, are still in an unsettled state, but in all of them the Mohurrum passed without any decided manifestation of insurrection. At Benares, indeed, an impreg- nable fortress has been erected near Raj Ghat, on the banks of the river, and commanding the whole city, so that the smallest demonstration could be most effectually quelled. That city is therefore safe. Patna, too, has continued quiet; that it has remained so is due entirely to the exertions of Mr William Tayler, who overawed the natives by a judicious course of hanging. Our readers in England will not be surprised to hear that these summary but most necessary proceedings led to his recall and disgrace by the effete government which he represented. The question of the appointment of his successor, with a native Mohammedan as his assistant, has been fully dis- cussed in the press. Its workings have yet to be seen; we ear- nestly hopo thoy may not be such as we anticipate. If liberty of expression of opinion were not exercised under Lord Canning's rule at the risk of ruin to the innocent proprietors af news- papers, we should here, in fitting language, record our opinion of the manner in whicn the affairs of tiiis empire are being still conducted. We can at least point to lacts, and we invite the attention of all classes of our countrymen to a document emanating from the Governor- General of India in council, in which the utmost leniency of treatment is enjoined towards those men who have murdered our wives, sisters, and children under the most treacherous circumstances, and treated them with the most cruel barbarity. No concern whatever has been expressed for our unfortunate countrymen and countrywomen; the Government has not contributed, one rupee to their relief; all their sympathies seem to be with the hatives, and their line of policy presents the appearance of the native army, oommanded by Messrs Halliday, Birch, Bcadon, and J. P, Grant, fighting against European invaders. That this conduct has a very natural effect upon every one in the country is only what might have been expected. Our soldiers are placed between two enemies, and although they dash against the insur- gents with unparalleled fury, they feel not the slightest love for the men who treat them and their countrymen as natural enemies. " Sir Colin Campbell, it is believed, wiil leave for the north- west in about a month, and, taking up B avelock's force, will open direct communications with Delhi. There are several first- rate officers in Calcutta waiting for employ, who will be glad to accompany him. Meanwhile, but one wish pervades India, superior to every other— that Lord Ellenborcugh wiil be sent out armed with supreme power.". From oiher sources we learn that 2,500 troops have arrived at the Mauritius. The Penelope and Cleopatra steamers, with 220 men of the Royal Artillery, and 400 of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, had arrived at Calcutta. The China isaii had not arrived at Point de Galle when the steamer left. The 51st Native Infantry mutinied at Peshawur on the 29th of August. By the following day the mutiny was completely crushed. Mutinies of part of the 10uh Light Cavalry at Feroze- pore and ot a portion of the 55th at Hazura, have in like manner been promptly suppressed. The 89Ch Regiment had arrived from the Cape, and the 95th was hourly expected. The Madras Presidency w § s perfectly tranquil. H? r » $ was SYaeeatQtf by Persian troops on she 27 th of July. CAWNPOEE.— The following order was issued by General Have- lock after the action at Bithoor, when the enemy were defeated for the ninth time since the commencement of tne campaign :— " Cawnpore, Aug 17. " FIELD FOECE OEDEE.— The Brigadier- General commanding congratulates the troops on the result of their exertions in the combat of yesterday. The enemy were driven, with the loss of 250 killed and wouuded, from one of the strongest positions in India, which they obdurately. defended. Tney were the flower of the mutinous soldiery, flushed with the successful defection at Saugor and Fyzabad; yet they stood only one short hour against a handful of soldiers of tne State whose ranks had been tuinned by sickness and the sword. May the hope of treachery and rebellion be ever thus blasted; ana if conquest can now be achieved under the most trying circumstances, what will be the triumph and retribution of the time when tiie armies from China, from the Cape, and froinJBngland, shall sweep through the land? Soldiers! in that moment your labours, your priva- tions, your sufferings, and your valour will not be forgotten by a grateful country. You will be acknowledged to have beeu thestay audprop of British Indiain the time of her. severest trial." LUCKNOW.—[ From the Hurkaru, Sept 9.]— The following telegraphic message regarding the garrison at Lucknow has baen kindly placed at our disposal:—" A letter from Lucknow says that sue people in the entrenchments are all safe, and that they have lots of ammunition and food for six months ;" so that all fears may be dispalled with regard to their being pushed so badly as was at first conjectured. We trust soon to announce to the public their rescue by General Hsvolock. A few days ago the news from Lucknow seemed to be of a most distressing cha- racter. We refrained from giving circulation to the statement which reached us, and it is gratifying to find that the alarm which took possession of many persons in Calcutta at that time was, to say the least, premature. It was reported that the enemy was closing round the besieged, who were undermined, and it seemed as if their final destruction must immediately follow. It appears, however, that the enemy came a little too close, and were themselves undermined by the activity of the garrison, and several hundred of them blown into the air. The besieged took this opportunity to make a sortie, and captured provisions and other stores sufficient to enable them to hold out for some time longer. In the meantime it may be presumed that the enemy will see the wisdom of keeping at a respectful distance, since they have learned to their cosi that the little garrison will not yield without a struggle, and that they have still applianoes and means to keep the besiegers at bay. There is now great reason to hope that reinforcements may yet arrive in time to save Lucknow from the fate which befel Oawnpore— a fate which would ba far more terrible, as it would be shared by a far greater number of persons. But in any case the garrison would not yield without a struggle. According to accounts which reached Calcutta on Sept 5, it contained 510 men of her Majesty's 2d Regiment, and although 160 of these were iu hos- pital, it may be supposed that the remaining 350 would give a good account of . their enemies before finally submitting. The number of women and children was 350, of whom 240 were for the most part girls belonging to the Martiniere. PASSAGES OP TEANSPOETS — The screw steam- ship Imperador, Capt J. B. Atkins, 1,739 tons, 200- horse power, belonging to the Liverpool and South American and General Steam Navigation Company, which left Plymouth on the 10th of August for Hong Kong with 22 officers and 557 marines and bojs, arrived at Ma- deira on the 15th of August, making the passage in four days 20 hours. She remained 30 hours coaling, and left for Ascension, where she arrived on the 29th of August, thus making the pas- sage, including stoppages, iu 19 days. During the passage from Madeira she was three whole days under sail only, and three days under easy steam and sails. The Imperatrix, Capt H. Cox, 1,737 tons, and 200- horse power, belonging to the same company, which left Portsmouth on the 13th of August for Hong Kong with 28 officers and 582 marines and boys7reached Madeira on the 17th, after a run of five days and four hours. There she re- mained 30 hours coaling. At Ascension she arrived c- n the 31st of August, the whole run from Portsmouth occupying 19 days, including the stoppage at Madeira. All was well on board both vessels. The Biacs Ball clipper transport Champion of the Seas was spoken on the morning of the 8th of September, in 9 8 S., aud 34' 15 W. by the Dennis Brundith, to which vessel she sup- plied some bread snd provisions ; and two days previously the same ship saw a very large clipper steering to the eastward in 13' 27 S and 36' 57 W. F supposed to be the James Baines. The Champion reported all well. She had experienced a succession of light winds and weather so fine that her lower- deck ports had never been closed. Both ships passed the Needles on the even- ing of the 8th of August, and the tug- boats left them on the 11th of August. DISTRESSING CASUALTY.— A vote of public sympatfcy was passed at a recent meeting hold in Stirling iu regard to the Indian mutiny, and was communicated by Provoat Sawers to the parties interested, namely, the Rev Robert Henderson, Epis- copal clergyman, who lost his two sons at Cawnpore; Alexander Brodie, Esq, of the Bank of Scotland, whose son was killed about the first outbreak of the mutiny at Neemuch; and J. M. Greensill, Esq, barrack master, whose son was killed before Delhi, irs the circumstances attending the death of Captain Greensill were peculiar, we give insertion to the following ac- count of his melancholy end, by his cousin:—" On the evening of the 20th of July he had been out with a party of sajjpers, cut- ting down the jungle in front of one of our advanced pickets. He agreed with two other officers to search for a mine the enemy were said to be driving. Taking six or seven Europeans with them, they started off. After going a short distance they came to a ravine. The captain and the men decided on going up the ravine, while the two officers were to go along the bank. They were to communicate with each other by whistling, and not to speak. After walking some distance he received no answer to his whistle, and thinking all was not right, he took one of the men aud scrambled up the side of the ravine, it being then quite dark. He appeared unfortunately on the top, sufficiently near for the two officers to distinguish something white, but not near enough to see who it was. He was challenged twice, but, through some mistake about the whistling agreement, he gave no answer. One of the officers, imagining it was the first of a parry of the enemy, on receiving no answer fired. The ball passed through him, and wounded the man with hisn. He was afterwards found mortally wouuded, shot through the stomach. He was carried to his tent, and died about eight o'clock on the morning of the 21st. He was sensible to the last, aud suffered very little pain."— Stirling Journal. THE ROYAL MOVEMENTS IN SCOTLAND.— The Queen on Wed- nesday morning left Balmoral to visit the Earl of Aberdeen at Haddo House. Travelling by way of Deeside to Ballater, anu thence to Inverury, her Majesty arrived soon after four o'clock at Haddo, where, upon entering the park, she was received by the Hon Col A. Gordon, with five hundred mounted tenantry, who presented a loyal address. The noble Earl and the Marquis of Abercorn met her Majesty, and conducted her to the balcony, where she gracieusly bowed in reply to the acclamations of the people. Sir George Grey was in attendance. The people of the neighbourhood celebrated the royal visit with bonfires aud othor festivities. On Thursday morning, at eleven, the Queen and Prince Consort, with the two princesses, left Haddo, escorted by the tenantry, to take the train frosa Aberdeen, aud arrived at Edinburgh shortly before seven o'clock the same evening.

The piece was " The Knights of the Mist," a sort of " Jack Shepherd" tale, at the end of which the chief character is pardoned on condition that he wiM go to India ; he expresses his delight, saying that he will go and fight for England, uttering at the same time the cry " Yire l'Angle- terre." The cry was taken up and repeated with enthusiasm by a crowded house. An English gentleman, who was present in one of'the boxes, returned thanks on behalf of his oountry. The Emperor has finally quitted the camp at Chalons and re- turned to Paris, There is, it is said, to be a reduction of the army, and even now it is asserted that furloughs have been granted to 50,000 soldiers who have been two years in the service. Advices have been received from Constantinople that the French Ambassador had informed the Porte that civilities shown to the Prince de Joiaville would be considered as offered to France. [ Can this be trus ?]. By the order of the Czar, a Greek Church is to be built in Paris, The money market is in an unsatis- factory state. THE PRINCIPALITIES. It seems now to be doubtful whether the Principalities will really be uuited under one Sovereign, although a new candidate for that office has been named in the person of Prinoe Nicholas of Leuchtenberg, who, descended equally from Eugene Beauhar- nois on one side and the house of Romanoff on the other, would be likely to unite the support of the French Emperor and the Russian Czar. It is now believed that the only union will be one of an administrative kind— a kind of federal union with the sovereignty of the Porte, distinctly and permanently continued. This, indeed, appears to b^ the best solution of existing diffi- culties, and the safest and most honourable, as well as most useful, provision for the future. PRUSSIA. The death of the King is expected daily. Political news is in abeyance, but there is no end of the discussions on the Sehlesvvig Holstein question. AUSTRIA. Baron de Bach having resumed the discharge of his duties as Minister of the Interior, several measures of importance are looked for. One of these is tha establishment of a new Austrian State bank at Trieste. THE UNITED STATES. The Government of the United States has been called on in a most clear and express " note," presented by the Ministers of Costa Rica, aud other small States interested in the matter, to prevent an expedition " under the orders of the adventurer William Walker" from landing on their shores. It remains to be seen whether Mr Buchanan's Government has the will or the power to put an end to this filibustering expedition. THE DRAMA. PRINCESS'S THEATEE,— On Monday night this theatre re- opened for the season, the last Shaksperian revival, " The Tem- pest," being tha staple attraction, preceded by the farce of " Living Too Fast." Each of tke favourites was warmly re- cognised on their appearance, aud Mr Ke& u was loudly called for at the end of the first act. During the recess the theatre has beeu handsomely decorated, the panels round the proscenium being painted with the principal events in those Shaksperian plays which have been produced during the present manage- ment, and medallions of the Shaksperiau kings introduced be- tween each panel. A new act drop has also been painted by Messrs Grieve and Telbin, representing the statue of Snakspeare placed between semi- drawn curtains. The tapestry, by Mr Telbin, is specially remarkable. We wish Mr C, Kean all the success to which his talents and his untiring energy iu the causa of the legitimate drama so justly entitle hi in. From certain rumours afloat we believe it is Mr Keaa's intention era long to retire into private life, and we would therefore hint to our readers to make the most of their time. HAYMAEKET THEATEE.— Mr Sheridan Kuowles's comedy of " The Love Chase" was revived at this theatre on Tuesday night. To act the part of the heroine with complete success is no ordinary test of ability in a new actress, who not only has to sustain a very difficult character, but also to contend with the remembrance of its original representative, Mrs Nisbet, who played it with such admirable skill that she almost may be said to have made it her own. Through this double ordeal, however, Miss Sedgwick has triumphantly passed, and her brilliant per- formance entitles her to take rank with the first comic actresses of the day. Of all the performers who have tried the part of'Con- stance, no one has given more of its vivacity and laughing grace than Miss Sedgwick. Preserving its feminine delicacy and its ladylike elegance of demeanour amid all its wild sallies and ex- uberant merriment, sha not only acts the character with the rich cordial humour which its pleasantries require, but turns all its raillery and mirth " to favour and to prettiaess," The fer- vour aud animation with which she delivers the passage de- scribing the pleasures of the chase awaken general enthusiasm; and the scene in which she banters her lover on his prospect of marriage is a charming specimen of chaste and natural acting. Miss Sedgwick appears to be peculiarly qualified for the imper- sonation of those joyous and brilliant characters, of which there has been no adequate representative since the retirement of Mrs Nisbet. She may therefore be regarded as a valuable acquisition to the London stage. Widow Greer;, la Vttiott 6v6^ 0ii6mUSt remeifioer tiie late lamented Mrs Glover, was admirably played by Mrs H. Marston. ASXLEY' 3 AMPHITHEATRE.— A new horse- rider has appeared at this theatre, a Mr James Robinson, from the chief circus in the United States, who is described as the Great Star Rider of America. Mr Robiason is a small athletic man, and, without saddle or bridlo, or anything but the horse's bare back, and his own good limbs, he vaults on and off, rides on the neck or the tail, aud performs various gymnastic feats in a perfectly novel way; for instance, raising himself from the horse so that certain scarfs can be passed under him, jumping on one leg baokwards or forwards, and a variety of other gyrations which it is wonder- ful to see and impossible to describe. The crowning feat ef all, however, is casting a somersault over a broad banuer and alighting on the bare back of the horse. So difficult is this that he five times took. and performed his difficult leap, and alighted on the horse's back each time, but not sufficiently forw* rd to mainUia his standing. Determined, however, to fully complete this incomparable feat, he persevered until he came sufficiently forward to maintain his position. The audience were so de- lighted at the spirit, skill, aud perseverance shown by Mr Robin- son, that we have seldom heard more enthusiastic applause. He finally performed the same feat through a balloon, and ended with some posturing aud riding at full speed, and all without saddle, bridle, or panoply, so that the description of his daring and skill were more than realised. He is certainly to bo seen as a marvel in equestrian art, and the house, which was very full, testified, by long and reiterated applause, their high admiration of his talent and courage. It must not, however, be supposed that Mr Robinson is the only attraction, though he is well worth a special visit, for the scenes in tiie arena are as various and excellent as ever. Mr C. Bradbury, Miss Kate Cooke, the Ellis Family, Mr Palmer, Madame Caroline, and Mr William Cooke's matchless and beautiful spotted little horse, and the tiniest horse in the world, all make a long, varied, and interesting exhibition. THE LEEDS POLICE SUPEEIHTENDENT SUFFOCATED AT A FIEE.— On Sunday nighs, about hall- past nine o'clock, the watchman engaged on the cloth- finishing mills of Messrs Mor- phet, Camp- road, observed smoke issuing from the upper story of the felt mills adjoining, which belonged to Messrs Stewart and Co. An immediate alarm was raised, the premises were en- tered, and Mr Wood, of the Norwich Union Company, and others ascended to the roon where the fire was. Owing to the dense ssaoke, however, it was impossible to penetrate the room, and by keeping the doors closed the fire was prevented for a time from bursting into flames. Under these circumstances the owners of the mill persuaded the fire brigades to forego throwing water on the premises until they had first seen whether the fire- anni hilators would be sufficient to effectually suppress the fire. Some delay was thus caused. On the arrival of Mr Superintendent James, three annihilators were taken to the upper story and discharged, but the fire had gained too much headway to be put out by these means. Unfortunately for Mr James, he was so zealous in the performance of his duty that he penetrated too far into the room, and became overpowered with the com- bined effects of the smoke and vapour from the annihilators. He was removed by his men, but he never afterwards recovered, and expired in about twelve hours. Seeing that the annihilators had failed in the desired effect, Mr T, Clark, manager of the mill, gave orders that water should be used. Piping was then conveyed up the mill, and a good supply of water speedily sub- dued the fire and all danger. The room to which the fire was confined was filled with machinery, a large portion of which is destroyed. A quantity of waste was lying in the room, and spontaneous combustion is supposed to be the cause of the fire. Tha damage is estimated at £ 500 or £' 600, which is covered by iasurance. DEEADFUL ACCIDENT TO TWO SOLDIERS AT CHATHAM.— On Sunday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, a distress- ing accident occurred to two soldiers, privates in the 43d Light Infantry, at Chatham, by falling over the cliffs at Chatham Lines, whereby one of them, named Joseph Asplin, was killed on the spot, and the other so dreadfully injured that he is not expected to recover. From the statement made by the survivor, it would seem that both men had been spending the evening together at Bromptori, and were returning to barracks, when they heard the drums beat for " tattoo." Fearful of being late, they set off running towards the Lines, but being ignorant of the way, made towards the chalk cliffs, which are surrounded by a fence. This they cleared, and kept running on, when they were suddenly precipitated over the cliffs into the soldiers' burial- ground below, a great depth, Asplin being instantaneously killed. The groans of the survivor attracting. attention, assist- ance was procured, and both taken to the garrison hospital; but although Dr M'Lean, the battalion surgeon, has been unremit- ting in his attention to the surviving sufferer, his recovery is considered hopeless. An inquest was held on the body of Asplin on Monday afternoon, by Mr T. Hills, corouer, when the jury returned a verdict of " Accidentally killed by falling over the cliffs," DOUBLE MUEDEE NEAE BATH.— On Sunday this city and neighbourhood were thrown into a state of painful excitement by a well- authenticated report, which rapidly spread, that a man and his wife had been murdered at Warlei^ h, a pretty little ham- let, about four miles from Bath, and that the murderer had also attempted self- destruction. The murderer, a young maB aboat 23 years of age, named Miller, was employed as cowherd on the estate of H. D. Skrine, Esq, of Warleign House, a magistrate for the county, and the murdered individuals are a man named Border, who was groom and under- coachman to that gentleman, and his wife. Miller lived with his parents in one of three cot- tages about a quarter of a mile from the house, and Border and his wife occupied another cottage, about a hundred yards or so from that in which the prisoner resided. On Saturday night week, about eight o'clock, Miller's mother states that she left him with his Bible before him, which he bad been readisg, whilst she went upstairs to attend to some domestic duties. He had been noticed as somewhat strange in his manner for some days, but had attended to his duties up to Saturday night. Whilst the mother was upstairs, Mr and Mrs Border called at the cottage to inquire after Miller, when the wretched man, without the slightest provocation or any apparent cause, so far as is at present known, rushed at Border with an open knife iu his hand, which be plunged into the poor fellow's abdomen, and then attempted to stab him in the throat. The wounded man, terrified and calling for help, ran off towards his own cottage, aud his wife screamed and attempted to escape also. The murderer made a dash at her with the knife, striking it into the iower part of her neck, and she fell backwards down the steep pathway of the garden outside the cottage door. Her head came in contact with the stone hedging, her skull wa3 fractured, and it would appear that she must have been killed almost instantaneously, as when Miller's mother ran downstairs on hearing the cries she found her lying as stated, and quite dead. Poor Border managed to reach his own house, with assistance, and Mr Edwards, surgeon, of Batheaston, was sent for, and attended without delay. He replaced the bowels, which he found protruding, and sewed up the wound in the abdomen. The poor fellow lived for nearly an hour and a half after receiving the wounds, but he then sank and died. The murderer was nowhere to be found after the perpetration of the shocking deed, but the knife with which it was perpetrated was fjund, covered with blood, near the cottage. It was supposed that Miller had escaped; but soon after eleven o'clock moans were heard from the back of the cottage, aud, on svarch. being made, he was found lying amongst some bushes. There were 3 or 4 cuts on his throat, but these, Mr Edwards states, are not at all serious wounds. Ugon further examination, however, it was found that the prisoner had ripped up his own abdomen. Mr Edwards sewed up the wound, but it was considered that the injuries, though not qf an immediately dangerous character, were such as to prevent his removal to the Bath United Hospital. He accordingly remains at his own cottage, in custody ot a con- stable. Mr Skrine and family were not at home at the time of the dreadful tragedy. Both Border and his wife were very respectable in their station iu life, and were highly esteemed. Border was about twenty- five years of age, and his wife some- what older. They had been married nearly five years, and have left one little boy, four years of age, who was asleep in his cot at the cottage when his parents were so frightfully murdered. Au j inquest has been held, and a verdict of Wilful Murder against ' Thomas Miller returned. There is little doubt that he is insane, HORRIBLE MURDER AND MUTILATION. In our Town Edition, last week, we £ ave a brief account of the discovery of some human remains, packet? in a carpet- bag, and lodged on one of the abutments of Waterloo Bridge. We now lay before our readers the full particulars of t£ e horrible affair, so.* far as they have come to light. Tiie bag, wi* h its contents, consisting of portions of a human body, and a con-' olfte suit of clothes, was discovered by two boys who were rowing' off. about five on Friday morning, to a barge on the river. It was Jaken by them to the barge, and there opened ; but, on its contents feeing ascertained, was at onee conveyed to Bow- street police station. The clothes in the bag are somewhat the worse for wear. There are no cuts through the coat or waistcoat, but in the trowsers and drawers there is a large gash, the instrument inflicting which no doubt entered the abdomen, as the drawers in that part are deeply stained with blood. The shirt is a dress one, finein the material, and with small plaits. The only remark- able feature about the coat is, that it has a fasten- In* by what is called a " tab," formed of cloth of the same material as the coat, a circuiastanoe which has led to tiie opinion that the owner was a foreigner. The waistcoat is of black cloth ; it has a roll collar, and four buttons in front. Although there are eight stabs through the shirt front, there are none through the waistcoat; this may be accounted for by the circumstance of the collar opening widely back. Ou the left breast of the coat there is a large rent on the outside, but not on the inside, and which was probably not caused by a stab. Several persons hava attended at the station- hsuse in Bow- street, to ideniify tne clothes. The circumstance of the coats, waistcoat, shirts, aud back parts of the drawers and trowsers having been cut, aud ripped open, is an extraordinary feature in the case. The assas- sins or their ajcomplioes must, it is thought, have proceeded in their work of stripping the corpse, for the purpose of hacking it up, with a settled determination to complete their disgusting task as soon as possible. Having stripped him of his clothing, the pieces into which the body was cut were no doubt intended to be conveyed away at fitting opportunities, but, in order to prevent their decomposition, in the meantime they were put in a solution of brine. What has become of the fleshy nortious of the body, and the viscera, is at present a mystery." It has beeu suggested that the same horrible ingeuiousness which salted the body, may have had recourse to boiling the parts previous to disposing of them, and that, in this state, if discovered, the character or the flesh would not be so easily recognised. A very large proportion even of the bones of the deceased are still want- ing, aud the quantity of flesh on the bones is exceedingly small. With the exception of a piece of one of the muscles ou the leg, and the small portion on the breast bone, there were no fleshy parts of the body in the bag. The entire weight of the frag- ments discovered is less than twenty pounds; and the carpet- bag, with the whole of its contents, stated in some accounts to have been exceedingly heavy, is not more than about four or five and twenty pounds. The disoovery of the bag in the position in which it was found is another most remarkable feature in the case. The peculiar character of the abutments of Waterloo Bridge renders it difficult to understand how the bag would have rested there, if it had been dropped from the bridge. It was found on the third buttress of Waterloo Bridge, on the Middlesex side of the river, westward. The buttresses of this bridge are in the form of an elongated double elliptic, pointing east and west, the upper surface being convex. In addition to the difficulty which the conical form of the buttress presents to any large body remaining upon its surface when dropped from a height, there is also tbe curieus fact, that it is only from a point in the centre of the recesses on the bridge that any sub- stance falling over would touch the abutments. The pointed form of the cutwater part of the pier presents but a very small surface beyond the projection of the coping or cornice which runs below the balustrade of the bridge, and this portion dimi- nishes to a point at a very short distance. It is stated that the carpet- bag was let down with a cord from the bridge and . the person who lowered it finding that its weight was taken off, concluded that it had reached the water. Inspector Durkin, late on Saturday evening, took the cord which was found at- tached to the bag, and, casting one end over the bridge, found that it was amply sufficient in length to reach the water. Cast- ing the line over one of the angles of the recess, or a little on one side of a point which would be in the centre, it reached the water, and did not touch the abutment. If the bag, with its con- tents, had been thrown over the north or south side of the re- cess, or over any portion of the balustrades between the recesses, it would have fallen into the water, and been carried away by the receding tide. But, by a strange fatality, a spot was selected from which, and from which alone, it was possible to lodge any- thing on the abutments of the bridge. Another very curious circumstance is, that not only had the bag rested on the projec- tion of the abutment, but that the whole length of the cord, some 40 or 50 feet, should also have been dropped on to the abutment, apparently without any portion of it touching the water, as the rope was perfectly dry when brought to the offiee. The rope was not brought with the bag to the police office, but was afterwards sent for by Mr Durkin, and when examined it bore no traces of having been wetted. On Monday an inquest was commenced at the board- room of the Strand Union, in Bow- street, when the following evidence was adduced :— James Barber, 2, Lumley- court, Straad, labourer, a youth of about 16, deposed: I am employed by Smith and Sons, the coal merchants. On Friday morning I was going up the river to Richmond in a boat. It was between five aud six in the morn- ing. I saw that bag ( produced) lying on the third buttress of Waterloo Bridge. The bag was lying o » its side. A friend of mine was in the boat with me, and we pulled towards the bridge. Frank Kilsby, who was with me, caught hold of the siring which wits in the water, and we pulled the bag into the boat. We took it UJJ on the bri^( J10 oiiS was there we took it on to Lambeth, where Kiisby took it into I think it was locked, and we forced it open. We wore all afraid when we saw it contained bones aud clothes. Everything was taken out of it into the barge in my presence. We did not take particular notice of the clothes. When we found what the bag contained we put the things back, aud took them to the police. It was high tide at the time, and the bag was about six inches from the water. The clothes in ths bag were wet, but the bag itself was dry. John Kiisby said: I live at No. 13, Richard- street, Cornwall- road, Lambetn. I am a lighterman. I know the bag now pro- duced by a hole in one part of the leather ( the hole was found). Tbe bag was brought to me by my brother and Barber, ou Friday morning. I took it out of their boat. They said they had picked up a prize, but were afraid to touch it. I took it into my barge. It was locked, aud I forced it open. I took particular notice of the contents, which consisted of the clothes produced, and some bones. The bones were tied up in the coat with a piece of string, and when we cut it, the bones fell out. The clothes were damp. I am sure thoy were not very wet. They might have got wet while we were examining them, as thera was a little water in my barge. I put the bones in a basket, which I had on board, and taking the clothes in my hand brought them all ashore, and gave them to a policeman. Charles Venes, constable 96 F, said: On Friday last I was on duty at thaAdeiphi Arches, when the boy Kiisby came up and told me tney had got a quantity of things lying at the Fox- under- the- Hill. I went down and saw a quantity of bones and the clothes. The latter were wet, some more so than the others. They were lying in a dry place when I saw the clothes. I had all the things put in a bag, and they were taken to the Bow- street station. I should think the bag weighed about I cwt. There was no difficulty in carrying it. There was much blood on the linen, and seven cuts about the left breast on the shirt. William Buck : I am a police- sergeant, No. 5 F. About eight o'clock on Friday moraing the boys Barber and Kiisby, accom- paided by constable Venes, came to me at the Bow- street station. They said they were coming up the river, when they saw the bag on one of the buttresses of the bridge. I examined the shirts, and found blood upon them both. There was blood also on the coat, I found seven cuts on the shirts, some on the backs of the coats, and two on that part of the shirt that would cover the abdomen. The cuts appeared to have been made with the same knife. I sent for Mr Painter, our divisionalsurgeon. andhecame. Mr Richard Painter said : I reside at 33, Brydges- street. Iam divisional surgeon to the F division of police. On Friday morn- ing last I went to the Bow- street station about nine o'clock, and in the presence of Mr Superintendent Durkin I examined the bag which contained the bones shown to the jury. The clothes were lying by the side. I took the bones out of the bag and pro- ceeded to examine them, I fitted them together, and found all the bones produced belonged to one individual, forming together a complete skeleton, with the following exceptions :— The parts wanting were the head, the whole of tne cervicles, seven of the dorsal bones, portions of the ribs, the bones of the hands, feet, the lower part of the small bones of the legs, and the left clavicle. The bones were almost all sawn into one or more portions. All the bones had portion of muscle attached to them, the flesh fallen off, being cut off in a " haggled," hacked man- ner, evidently not by a professional man. Four portions of skiu only remained, and they were covered with hair, showing that the deceased had been a vigorous adult. The flesh gene- rally was neither fresh nor in a state of decomposition, there being no decomposition but in the hip joint. There were several blue ms. rks produced by this decomposition. The whole of the remaining muscles and bones appeared not to be decomposed, and on seeking to discover the cause of this, I found in several parts a saline gritty matter, looking like salt. To this I attribute the preservation of the other part of the remains. There) was every appearance of the remains having been salted. The whole of the internal viscera are missing. In regard to the pieces of ribs which I examined, I found a large portion of the second, third, and fourth ribs of the left side, with a piece of the sternum attached, and flesh adhering, and on this piece, pro- bably in the third or fourth rib, there was a cut of rather smaller size than the holes in the clothes, which portion of side when placed in a natural position had its stab or hole exactly corresponding in position and direction as in the clothes. Around the stab a good deal of blood was extravasated in the tissues, which showed that the wound had been inflicted during life. The ribs that would receive the other stabs are missing. Great roughness had been occasionally used in cutting up the body, but generally the appearance was that it had been cut up with a fine saw. The Coroner: How do you know they were the bones of a male or not ? Witness : I found they were of large make ; and there was hair upon them, which made me decide that they belonged to a male ; but upon examining the pelvis I found the dimensions were larger than usual in a man. I have no doubt, however, for a moment, that the bones were those of a male person, and I think he would baa person of about 5 feet 8 inches. I found a quantity of hairs sticking about the body which did not belong to it. Some appeared to be male hairs, aud others those belong- ing to a female. I don't think the body was cut up until rigor mortis had set in, because on fixing the bones of the right leg I found the three joints and the head joint were strongly fixed. Other parts of the bones were also " flexed," I don't think the decomposition in the left hip joint could have taken place in less than a week. I can't explain why that part was decomposed and the others not. I should not be at all surprised if it was dis- covered that the remains had been boiled. There are certain ap- pearances about the tendons which justify my opinion. I am quite certain that no professional dissection has taken place, the very parts valuable for anatomy being quite destroyed in this case. Henry Errington: I reside at No. 10, Howley- street, Tennyson- street, Lambeth. I am toll- taker on Waterloo Bridge. On Thursday night last I was on duty at the bridge about half- past eleven. I remember seeing a female ooming from the direc- tion of the Strand. She had a carpet- bag with her, which I believe to be the one produced. She was very clumsy ingoing through the turnstile, and made the " tell- tale" go round twice, which made me lose a halfpenny. I took the bag up and lifted it over. I took particular notice of it. It had leather handles and a large flower was worked iu the centre. ( The bag tallied in every particular to the description of witness.) I don't know that I should know the woman again, unless I saw her in the same dress. I noticed her hair was " matted" to her head in a very peculiar manner. She spoke in a very masculine tone of voice. She did not appear distressed or hot, as. if she had walked a great distance. She was a short, stout woman; about five feet three or four inches high. The bag would weigh, in my opinion, 20 or 30lb. At the suggestion of the coroner, the inquest was then ad- journed for a'fortnight. mation and evidence as shall lead to the apprehension and con- viction of the person or persons guilty of the murder ; and a reward of £ 100 will be paid to any person or persons who shall give such information as will lead to the identification and ap- prehension of the person or persoifs who placed the carpet- bag in £ he position were it was found.

Description of " the articles found :— An imitation Brussels carpet- bag, large size flowsr_ pattern— roses, forget- me- nots, and leaves ; leather bot- > torn, sides, and handles ; ' 48' in ink on one handle. A brown mixture single- breasted over coat, fly front, lined with fine alpaca la^ ge sleeves lined with red silk, two pockets behind, one breast ditto. A single- breasted black frock coat, lined with black alpaca, white cotton sleeve linings, a cloth button loop, and breast pocket. A black cloth double- breasted waistcoat, black lining, strap and buckle behind, A pair of new rough Oxford mixture tweed trowsers, military make, fly fronts, light metal buttons, waistband lined with yellow calico. A pair of elastic long drawers, one metal and one bo>. e button ; a small piece of thread tied in one button- hole, which appears to be the private mark of a laundress. A calico shirt, linen front, with small plaits ; enamelled or porcelain buttons. Part of a merino under- shirt with three iiiien- covered lyittons. The half of a black satin neck- tie ; a piece of black silk with a blue edge, as a point or contrast. A pair of knitted socks. About 20 yards of new common clothes- line of very rough appearance, and some small twine. The whole of the clothing appears to be of foreign workmanship. About half- past eleven p. m., on Thursday, 8th October, a female, aged between SO and 60, rather short and stout— complexion sallow— hair grey— dress black silk mantle, drab satin or silk bonnet, passed on to Waterloo Bridge, on the Strand side, carrying a carpot- bag, similar to the oue described, and a brown paper parcel. Information to be given to Super- intendent Durkiu, Police Station, Bow- street, or at any of the stations of the Metropolitan Police.- Metropolitan Police Office. 4, Whitehall- place, Oct 13,1857." A very eminent anatomist spent a considerable time on Tues- day morning in the inspection of the remains, particularly with reference to the evidence given by Mr Paynter, the police divisional surgeon, before the coronwv and reports that he entirely concurs in the opinions expressed bv Mr Paynter, that the stab found on the leit breast was inflicted before death; that the body was not cut up until rigor word's had set in ; that the parts had been rubbed with saline matter, to prevent decomposition setting iu; that the body had not been properly laid out; and, notwithstanding the size of the pelvis, he is of opinion that the remaius are those of a male. He further re- ports that he has placed all the bones in conjunction wish one another, and that he has not the slightest doubt that they form portions of one and tha same body. The examiner also holds the opinion with Mr Pa. vnter that the body not having been properly laid out, could never have passed into the bands of a medical man of any sort, and, further, that the peculiar position of the bones as left in the sockets of the hip and Knee lead con- clusively to the supposition that tha unfortunate man, as soon as murdered, must iiave been rolled up tightly in order te be deposited in a cupboard or some such place of temporary con- cealment More doubts appear to have arisen upon the very important question whether the clothes found with the remains of the de ceased man were of British or of a foreign manufacture— an im- portant question, because it may eventually lead to the identifi- cation of tho body itself. One person says they are of Belgian, another of French, and a third, English common slop manufac- ture; one that they are new, another that they are tolerably well worn,' a « ud a third that they are shabby. To set these doubts at reift, Mr Superintenamt Durkin called in a competent and impartial person to decide upon the question, and this person unhesitatingly affirmed two propositions— 1st, that the clothes were of French or of Belgian manufacture; and 2dly, that from the style aud workmanship it was clear that they had be n made " to order," being superior in both respects to ready- made or slop goods. Up to Friday evening nothing whatever had been discovered which warrants the hope that the perpetrators of this crime will be speedily brought to justice. The following letter has been forwarded to The Times from the Superintendent of Police at Stafford, who fancies that it contains a clue for the identification of the murdered man :— " TO THE EDITOE OF THE TIM2S. " SIE : In reference to the late horrible murder and Kutilatioa I respectfully beg to call your attention to the following;— On she 29th ult a person who gave the name of Hugh Patterson called at the residence of Mr John Lea, a respectable shoe manu- facturer of this town, and purchased ef him a large quantity of boots and shoes, for which he paid. He stated that he had re- cently returned from Melbourne, in Australia, where he kept a large shoe shop. He said he intended going to Lendon, and from there to his native place in Scotland, where a boy of his not long ago met with an accident which caused his death, and that he might be again expected at Stafford in about three weeks. He had a large carpet- bag that corresponded most minutely with the description given of the one found on an abutment of Waterloo Bridge on the morning of Friday week. When here he said the bag contained about £ 3,800 in gold, and asked both Mr and Mrs Lea to lift it; owing to which they had each an opportunity of inspecting the same, and, as before stated, they say it exactly corresponds with the one found. He appeared betwen 30 and 40 years of age, and about 5 f et 7 or 8 iuelies high, dark hair, and dressed iu dark clothes, but had other clothing ; it was no- ticed that he had red lining in the sleeves of his coat, and the legs or bottom ot the trowsers were very wide. He wore a black silk necktie, and shirt collar turned down. He also called at the manufactory of Messrs Bostock and Woolley, of this town ; likewise at the manufactory of Mr Bostock, of gtoiie; from each 2 Was " to his orOUjOr! x » f wfcoffi JlS was^ abou^ bw r$ 8ra4tO.

THE LAEGEST GIANT IN THE WOELD.— Some weeks ago we gave a few iacts iu regard to the weight and dimensions of Miles Dardne, who died in Tennessee, and was said to be the largest man in the world. The Jackson Whig has the following addi- tional particulars of the deceased, furnished by the Rev John Brooks:—" He was twice married. His children are very large, but probably none of them will ever be more than half the weight of their father. He was quite active and lively, and laboured until about four years ago, when he became so fleshy that he was compelled to stay at home, or be hauled about in a two- horse waggon. In 1849 he made a contract with a tailor to furnish him a suit of clothes for 50 dollars; the cloth was to cost five dollars per yard. Upon measurement it took 12 yards of cloth; so the tailor lost 10 dollars and the making. Tbe tailor states that three men, each weighing over 200 pounds, put the coat on, buttoned it around them, and walked across the square at Lex- ington. In 1850 it took thirteen and a half j ards of flax cloth, yard wide, to make him a coat. It took 16 yards of cambric for a shroud, 24 yards of black velvet to cover the sides and lid of his coffin; 125 feet of plank to make his coffin. His coffin Was eight feet long; across the breast thirty- two inches; across the head eighteen inches; across the foot fourteen inches; its depth thirty- five inches. He weig'ned in 1854 eight hundred and seventy- one poruitf s. His height was seven feet six inches. His weight when he diod, as nearly as can be ascertained, was a fraction over one thousand pounds." SUICIDE AT THE NIAGARA. FALLS — CLIFTON, SEPT 12, 1857.— The curious visitor to the Clifton House may see written in the register book there, in a large but almost illegible handwriting, the name W. T. Allen, England, and appended to it, in another hand, the words, " jumped off Table Rock, 11th." Such is the brief record of the latest tragic tale connected with Niagara Falls. W. T. Allen came hither yesterday by the afternoon train from Hamilton. He had, it is thought, come through from Montreal. The bar tender remarked something singular iu his manner, as if he had been drinking a little too ireely, but judged it advisable to send up the champagne and save annoyance. Mr Alkn drank the wine, and was then furnished with paper, enve- lopes, pen, aud ink. He wrote two letters, folded them, and enclosed them in envelopes, which lie addressed in a handwriting very different to that in the visitors' register— blurred and almost illegible. The poor man after this went to Table Rock, near to where the well- known log is, and walked into the water where it glides over the rocks in a sheet a few inches deep. He took off his hat, whirled it around his head, and flung it away into the mighty stream. Then he was eitiier himself carried away by the " current, or, more probably, threw himself into it, in view of several spectators. The body has not yet been disco- vered. Mr Carter, of Montreal was telegraphed for, aud is ex pected to- night by the lightning train. He will probably take upon himself to open both letters, and we may then learn the reasons which prompted the poor joung man to commit so deli- berately this dreadful act .— Hamilton Spectator. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GEEAT NOETHEEN RAILWAY.— On Sunday morning, abomt nine o'clock, as nine of the men who are employed by this company were engaged in repairing the permanent way in the tunnel at Potter's Bar, a distance of about thirteen miles down the line, they were suddenly surprised by the arrival of au empty coal ( down) train and a passenger ( up) train, which entered the tunnel at opposite ends, and which it appears earned such consternation that six only of them were enabled to escape; the other three unfortunate men were in- stantaneously crushed to death upon the spot. Upon the news reaching town, Mr Kirkwood, the indefatigable medical officer of the King's- cross terminus ( who at present also has charge of several of the sufferers by the late accident), proceeded imme- diately on an engine in company with Mr Superintendent Wil- liams to the place of accident, but too late to be of any service to thejiUfTerers, who were found to be frightfully mutilated. The rodies were conveyed to a neighbouring tavern, where an inquest was held, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned. EXPLOSION ON THE SOUTH- WESTEEN RAILWAY, AND LOSS OF TWO LIVES.— On Friday week, j ust before midnight, an occur- rence took place at Basing!, toko, resulting iu the death of two persons. The goods train which left Southampton at 8: 45, ar- rived at Basingstoke at 11: 45, and whilst in the act of taking in water the boiler of the engine burst, with a loud explosion, blowing into the air the engine- driver and fireman, who were performing their duties on the engine. Search was immediately made by the porters and police on the spot, but nearly half an hour elapsed beforo the bodies of the unfortunate men were found. The engine- driver, whose name is Reuben Thurgood, 28 years of age, and who leaves a wife and two children, was thrown a distance of upwards oi 40 yards behind the engine upon the verandah which overlaps the platform of the station. The body must have beeu thrown to a great height, as on its fall it made an indentation of several inches in the corrugated roof of the building. When recovered the body was bleeding pro- fusely, and life was quite extinct. The oil- can which he was using at the time was found a few yards from him. The fire- man, whose name is Henry Farnell, 29years of age ( single), was blown to the distance of 55 yards in front of the engine, so that a space of nearly 100 yards intervened between the position of tbe two bodies. The crown of his head was completely cut off, aud the face was split down the centre. He was otherwise mutilated, and the body presented a shocking spectacle. The remains of the unfortunate men were conveyed to the Queen's Arms Inn. Although there were several porters and polioemen on the spot at the time of the catastrophe, they re- ceived no damage; and beyond a slight injury to a shed close by no further damage was sustained. The engine, the boiler of which burst, is numbered 139, and has bean in use only four months. It is one of Beattie's. patentfengines, and is generally acknowledged as one of the most perfect that has lately been in- troduced. The outward apoearance of the engine, after the accident, was quite sound, tbe smoke box alone being carried away. An inquest was held, and the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. DANGBBOUS PEEIODS OF LIFE.— Youth, as well as infancy or childhood, in both sexes, is one of the uiost critical, perilous, and anxious periods of life. The constitution is frequently fra- gile and delicate, and an hereditary predisposition, too rapid growth, or other causes, effectually retard or prevent the enjoy- ment of sound health, and develop the symptoms of consump- tion, diseases of the chest, and other enfeebling or fatal mala- dies, A safe, simple, and almost certain remedy iu ail such cases — Dr De Jongh's Light Brown Cod Liver Oil— has beea exten- sively and effectually employed for many years on the Continent, and of late in England, and has received from many of the most distinguished medical practitioners the highest encomiums. Dr Pruys'van dor Hoeven, the eminent physician of Leyden, thus describes some of the results of his extensive and favourable experience:—" I have given it to boys whoso form of chest, delicate skin, and disposition to catarrh, show the phthisical Of course, in such a mysterious case there have been all sorts of rumours as to the discovery of the head and other parts of the remains. Indeed, at Paddington, two heads were discovered, which, however, on examination proved to have beeu used by surgeons for anatomical purposes. Mr Superintendent Durkin had a lengthened interview on Tuesday evening with the Commissioners of Police in Scotland- yard. A reward of £ 300 has been offered for information which may lead to the apprehension and conviction of the persons , . , guilty of the murder. Of this sum, £ 200 and her Majesty's: habit, and it has not only improved rhe cjelicate appearance, but pardon will be given to any approver, not being the actual1 removed the obstinate cousrh.

The success which attended the first of the three October meetings at" head- quarters" held out eucouraging prospects for the " two last s? eeks," as the Oesarewitch and Cambridgeshire meetings are generally termed, and, all things considered, these expectations have been to the fullest extent realised, so far as the " Second October" is concerned— a result to be hailed with considerable gratification as exhibiting a decided reaction of what has of recent years been termed the fading glories of New- market ; nor need we adduce further evidence of this satisfac- tory position than is to be found in the revival of the match- making spirit which at one period formed one of its chief and most interesting characteristics. With the task before us, how- ever, we cannot stop to discuss these matters more fully, and must proceed at once with our narrative. The Subscription Room at Tattersall's was opened on Saturday afternson, bnt as usual on such " special" occasions to little or no purpose, for besides being very thinly attended there was scarcely any betting what, ever, and the few Cesarewitch changes calling for notice, which were altogether the result of operations in the City during the morning, comprised the advance of El Hakim to 12 to 1 ( taken) and an improvement in The Poacher and Dusty Miller, the former advancing to 100 to 6 and the latter to 25 to 1. The favourite— Monsieur Dobler— remained uncom- monly firm, notwithstanding the support awarded to the nw comers, and was also backed for the Cambridgeshire at 25 to 1. 10,000 to 400 was taken about Ethiopian, and 8000 to 60 about Physiciau for the Derby. A very heavy " special" left the Shore- ditch station for Newmarket on Sunday afternoon, conveying amongst other notables Mr Gratwicke's " dark" Derby crack and " the Dobler," but the journey was unattended by any in- cident, nor was there any betting worth quotation en route. The number of strange horses on the spot was reported to be far larger than was ever previously known. A great many re- mained over from the previous meeting, and in the course of Sa- turday aud Sunday their numbers were increased by nearly a hundred- and- ssventy fresh arrivals, amongst which were all the leading favourites for the Cesarewitch, and representatives of France, Russia, and America. The French mare Ronzi left Chantilly on the Thursday previous, and crossed over froua Boulogne to Poikstone on the following day, having been on board the steamer from ten o'clock in the morning until seven in the evening; the passage, which was a very rough one and upset the mare a good deal, occupying upwards of five hours. The Russian horse, Vision, was not in the great race, and Pryor hav- ing been struck out of all his engagements on Saturday afternoon, in consequence of being seized with an attack of lung fever. Prioress became the sole representative of the " stars and stripes." A great many trials were reported to Lave taken place during the intervening week, and amongst others it was asserted that the forte of The Poacher, said to have done a " good thing" with Renown, had been dis- covered to be distance instead of speed, which will accouut for his rise in the betting ; whereas the truth is that the two animals have not been together since the first week in August! It was pretty evident, however, that The Poacher had not so many admirers " at home" as " abroad," for at Newmarket his pretensions were contemptuously pooh- poohed. Prom the reports which reached town of the quantity of rain that had fallen almost daily since the last meeting, we expected to find the ground deep and holding, but were agreeably disappointed, and with the exception of being a trifle " dead." owing to the quantity of " cover" upon the Heath, better " going" could not be desired. The wonderful mildness of the weather was a subject of general remark; and we question if even the oldest inhabitant of the place can recall the circumstance of people sitting with windows wide open and without fires at this period of the year. Au accident which happened to Sam Rogers on Saturday afternoon created considerable alarm at the time, but it affords us great pleasure to state that the injury he met with was by no means so serious as at first reported, being confined to a fractured collar- bone, which was caused by a fall from a two year old, who, whilst taking a preparatory canter before a trial, jumped round and unshipped him. Hogers was a good deal stuuned at the moment, but soon re- covered, and in spite of his disaster rode out the trial. The exertion, however, proved too much, and although about the next daj? with his arm iu a sliug, he was of course disabled from riding a race during the meeting. The Subscription Room, on Sunday evening, though thinly, was better attended than usual, but speculation was of a very limited character, and noticeable chiefly for the growisg popularity of El Hakim, who was backed at 9 to 1, and for the disposition to bet against The Poacher anu ttw latter of whom presented the usual characteristics of a " safe- nil." 2,000 to 150 was booked about Tasmania, aud from the inquiries in well in- formed quarters after the Plush colfc, it was evident that the rumour ss to the likelihood of his being kept for the Cambridge- shire was all " stuff and nonsense." The " scratched list" an- nounced the following to be struck out:— Cesarewitch : Bashi Bazouk, Commotion, Aleppo, Pryor, Artillery, Mongrel, Morgan Rattler, Prestbury, Hamlet, Aster, Worcester, Saccharissa, The Baker, Malacca, and sister to Elfrida ( dead). Clear well: Pampa, The Digger's Daughter, Sermoa, Grand Secret, Hypocrite, and Bavaria. Bretby : Pamps, Soldanella, Bavaria, aud the Venus filly. Prendergast: Sermon, Grand Secret, Fascine, and Venus filly. Babylon paid forfeit to Saunterer in their Match. MONDAY.— The arrivals by the regular aud special trains this morning were exceedingly numerous, and all the lodgings and hotel accommodation not previously engaged were so soon occu- pied that the demand, even for a " shake down," far exceeded the supply before nightfall. An early commencement being necessary in order to get through the nine engagements on the card, the first was set for twelve o'clock, which afforded no time for the new comers to muster at the Rooms beforehand, nor does our note book contain any betting worth quotation. The show of company on the Heath was rather slack at the com- mencement of the proceedings, but visibly increased upon the arrival of the eleven o'clock train from town, although at no period of the day did it quite come up to the average muster of the opening day of the Second October Meet- ing, The Ring, composed of bookmakers from all parts of the country, mustered numerously, but speculation was the reverse of lively, owing to the preponderance of layers over backers, albeit the latter to- day had much the best of it. The meeting was inaugurated with a Match between Flimsy an si Turbit, which proved the " good thing" the betting indicated for Lord W. Powlett's horse, Turbit evidently having " molten his feathers." The meeting of Fisherman and Saunterer in the £ 50 Plate was anticipated with no little interest, but Mr Parr having an eye to the CcsarewitcLi, for which he was " rather sweet" upon his horse's chance, kept Fisherman fresh for the morrow, aud the " black- un" ( whose late arrival on the Heath led to a regular hunt after him by his owner, trainer, and jockey) had it all his own way. In consequence of the Match between Rhisus and Leontes, after both had been weighed for, going off in a forfeit by the former, a long interval now ewsued, during which Rosati came with a rattle, and in less thau ten minutes was backed at all sorts of prices between 30 and 12 to l! The ardour of her admirers soon cooled, however, and immediately afterwards 100 to 6 was currently offered again. 800 to 100 was taken about El Hakim, 1,000 to 25 aud 1,000 to 30 several times about Fisherman, 2,000 to 50 about Saunterer and Barfiaur coupled, and 1,000 to 15 about the latter singly. The sports were resumed with a small T. Y. C. Handicap, won by the top weight Theodora, after which no fewer than twenty two year olds went to the post for the £ 50 Plate, the twenty- three entrances to which at 3 sovs each actually placed £ 16 to the Club's credit! " Nursery considera- tions" have attached to this race from time immemorial, aud the charter was fully kept up on this occasion, judging from the betting, which, incredible as it may appear, opened at 5 to 4 on the field, and was almost entirely confined to Sun- beam, whose rays, though at one foment threatened with an eclipse, shone with brilliant effect amidst the drenching rain which commenced just previous to the race. The Match be- tween Cruzada and the Miss Whip filly was remarkable for the success of Lord Glasgow with a favourite, Cruzada being an animal of a very uncertain temperament and lame half the year round. The Duke's colours were again unsuccessful in the lightweight Match between Killigrew and Heroine, which turned out a more sporting affair thau at first anticipated. The betting opened at 5 to 2 on Killigrew, but from the spirit with which the mare was supported these odds dropped to seven and in many instances six to four, and the non- favourite proving a Heroine in reality, the fielders this time had a " rare touch." The mare, who is a good beginner, and goes a " cracker" for half a mile, had her opponent in difficulty throughout. The Danebury stable is evidently getting into form again after the serious illness from which almost every animal therein has suffered more or less since Goodwood. No fewer than forty- five horses were attacked with strangles, but by great care and unremitting attention OB the part ^ f John Day and the whole establishment only three yearlings have been lost. The remaining item on the card was walked over for by Queen of the East. Although enabled to make out a somewhat lengthy list of quo- tations, the Cesarewitoh betting in the town before dinner was uncommonly flat. The chief feature was the advance of the Plush colt from 20 to 1 to 100 to 8, and retrogression of ltosati to 25 to 1 ( offers). A spurt about Lima led to some investments at lOO to 6 and 100 to 7, and the arrival of December and St Giles caused both to be talked about, without, however, relieving the bookmakers of the " surplus fund" their volumes presented about each. 30 to 1 was offered against Mary and 1,000 to 20 taken rather freely about Mr Saxon's light weight, Queen Bess. There was no alteration in the favourites. MATCH, 150, h ft; R. M. ( LM 17yds). Lord W, Powlett's cli c Flimsy, by Iago, 3 yrs, 8st 41b E. Sharp 1 Lord Exeter's br c Turbit, 3 yrs, 8st 81b , G.

Tfee Room was crowded until past midnight, but our office was almost a sinecure so far as related to the great event of the morrow, the betting upou which was dull oeyond precedent, and noticeable only for exhibiting the firmness of the favourite, and a reaction in favour of Rosati, who returned to 100 to b ( takers). Cerva was introduced amongst the outsiders, and there were a goid many inquiries after Zigzag, but layers against the latter at 33 to 1 were " plentiful as blackberries. 2,500 to 50 was laid against Tasmania being first, and Warlock second. Saunterer, if not the " lion" of the nijrht, formed, perhaps, one of the chief topics of conversation, and though not backed out- right in our hearing, his owner betted £ 900 ^ even that be would be within thirty yards of the winner at the finish, and made a couple of new matches with Mr F. Robinson- one with Heroine for Friday, and the other with Anton for Monday in the Houghton Meeting. 6 to 4 was offered on Saunterer, in each case, immediately afterwards. All sorts of prices from 20 to 1 to 1000 to 10 were laid against Whistling Willie for the Cambridgeshire, in consequence of a report that the horse had runaway at exercise, and galloped two miles along the road to the railway station at Malton!

TUESDAY.— Soon after breakfast time the town began to present the usual characteristics of a " grand day." Visitors poured in by rail and road from all parts, and long before noon the High- street was thronged opposite the Subscription Room by a large crowd, amongst which the " Seizerwitch" was the all. prevailing topic of conversation. Within the " magic circle" of the Ring business was pretty brisk about two or three horses but on the whole the betting was extremely bad, owing to the preponderance of layers to backers. All doubts— and many existed— of its being " genuine business" with the favourite were removed by the firmness with which he maintained his position, and before the Ring separated as little as 9 to 2 was taken about him. There was a rush to get on Lima, who advanced to 12 to 1, and both the Plush colt and Rosati had supporters at 12 to 1 each, the mare, perhaps, being most fancied of the two. The onlv other feature was the support awarded to Saunterer, about whom 1,000 to 20 and 1,000 to 30 was at one time taken rather freely. The first race was set for half- past one o'clock, long before which hour there was a general move to the Heath. It struck us that we have seen larger gatherings on the Cesarewitch day, but whatever shortcomings there might have beea in point of numbers, there was an uumistakeable improvement in the character of the assemblage, which exhibited a far more orderly disposition than is usually presented on suoh occasions wheu cheap trains afford the means of transit to the " loafers" and lower orders of " the village." We missed, it is true, seve- ral of the leading members of the Jockey Club, but at the same time most of the aristocratic patrons of Newmarket were pre- sent, and there was a large show of carriage company, which included a great many ladies. The atmosphere during the afternoon was cloudy and oppressi fely close compared with the fineness of the morning, and now and then a little moisture fell — sufficient to swear by, and that was all. The sports commenced with a Selling Handicap on the last half of the Abingdon Mile, a better view of the running upon which course was on this occa- sion obtained by keeping back the foot people on the top of the hill in a line with the cords and preventing their encroachment so far into the " track" as formerly, whereby the horses were altogether shut out from the view of those on the lower ground until the race was almost over. Afield of eleven went to the post, and Indulgence, turned loose amongst the young ones, pulled through by a neck after a pretty race with the HerScy filly, who met the winner at 4lb only for the two years difference in age between them! In the Royal Stakes which followed, another " plum" fell to the lot of that cheap horse Hobgoblin, who disposed of Sydney and Keepsake without difficulty, a performance few would have anticipated in the early part of the present season— such is the " glorious uncertainty" of racing. The Cesarewitch stoad next for decision, preceded by an interval of three quarters of an hour, and within a few minutes of the termination of the previous race the weigh- ing of the jockeys was completed, and the telegraph exhibited the large number of thirty- four starters. As may be sup- posed, there was ail extraordinary demand for light- weight jockeys, and in the absence of Bullock with Sprig of Shillelagh in Ireland, Mr Robinson had to telegraph to Richmond in York- shire on Monday afternoon for his own boy Little to ride El Hakim. French was engaged for Renown, but came to scale 3ib over weight, and a stable lad had to be put up at the last mo- ment in consequence. Covey, by excessive wasting, mauaged to get down to the weight for Mons. Dobler; but the effort must have been a severe one, for he appeared uncommonly weak, whilst his " physog" recalled the brimstone and treacle break- fasts with which Old Squeers used to indulge poor Smike and the pupils at Dotheboys Hall. The final operations in the market may be briefly dsscribed. Mr Drit- ikald's " crack" stood uncommonly firm to the last, aud the same may be said of El Hakim and Warlock, the latter of whom, subsequent to the break up of the Ring, became as good if not a better favourite than the Richmond horse, in consequence of the flattering re- ports of those who returned from the inspection at the saddling stables. Lima, on the contrary, gave way when seen, and the Plush colt was decidedly preferred to Rosati, albeit the latter, we believe, was most fancied by the stable, though from being disappointed in a trial horse at the last the two had not " been together" since Goodwood. Martinet advanced to 20 to 1, aad Queen Bess ( when known to be the real Simon Pure of Messrs Barber and Saxoa's lot vice Mary) and Emulator to 25 to 1 each, the latter, who was backed in the last half- hour to win a large stake, being perhaps the " lion" of the afternoon. Zig Zig was one of the most popular outsiders, but Saunterer gave way on the Heath, and The Poacher, Renown, and one or two others who had " seen better days" were altogether friendless. As for the American mare she was quitedisregarded. and the temptitg offers of 1,000 to 10 found few takers. The jockeys reached the post with commendable punctuality, and all eyes were strained iu the direction from which the first view of them could be obtained, but a delay of ten minutes occurred before the signal was given by the dropping of a flag on the top of the Ditch, and at length the immense phalanx was seen streaming along at the far side of that well- known boundary, which hid them from view for a few seconds, uutil rising the hill out of " choke jade," they loomed upon the Flat like a regiment of cavalry, presenting a front which extended from one side of the broad " track " to the other. Having in the properplace detailed the race as fully andcorrectly as circumstances permitted, we shall not iuflict upon our readers a repetition here, further than to state that after passing the Bushes the chances of Mons. Dobler, Fisherman, Poodle, the Plush colt, and several others, whose colours up to that point had been observed in front, were extinguished, the weight telling upon Fisherman, whilst old Poodle's legs partially failed him. The race was then left to Queen Bess ( leading), El Hakim, Prioress, Fright, Odd Trick, Warlock, Martinet, Emu- lator, aud Zig Zag; but in descending the hill this lot was further reduced by the defeat of Warlock ( who like Fisherman was stopped by the weight), Martinet, Odd Trick, Fright, Emulator, and Zig Zag, who dropped off in the bottom, and left tbe issue to Queen Bess and El Hakim ( locked together on this side) and the American mare, who ran wide by herself on the extreme left, and " astonished the natives " not a little by her sudden and unexpected appearance from amongst the ruck after having been nearly hors de combat, as hereafter explained. Between these three the final struggle was one of the most excit- ing ever witnessed, Prioress appearing to have much the best of it until within a dozen strides of home, when she hung t o the left, and let up the other two, El Hakim catching Queen Bess in the last stride or two, when Mr Clark, unable to separate the lot, awarded one of the fairest dead heats with the three that was ever seen. The scene which followed the hoisting of the zero— O— with the three numbers— 44, 18, 19— underneath can be better imagined precsdented occurrence of a dead heat for the Cesarewitch and with three animals, besides reflecting a crowning triumph upon the gallant handicapper. engrossed almost the sole attention and consideration of the spectators until the time for the deci- sion of the deciding heat arrived. That it would ba run off was pretty generally understood, aud according to the usage at New- market the time appointed wa^ after the last race on the card. With the issue of the great event still in the balance, therefore, little attention was paid to any of the remaining items except the Clearwell, which brought out ten runners, and resulted in the unexpected victory of Eclipse, who, owing to the disappointment the horsa caused him in the Cham- pagne, was not supported by his owner to day for a guinea. His two performances are of so widely different a character that it would be absurd, after the clever style in which the horse won te- day, to deny Eclipse the possession of racing capabilities, although, as we remarked at Doncaster, ho ia by no means a prepossessing Derby horse to the eye, yet there is no knowing what time ( which he sadly requires) may do for him. Mentmore and Jordan, likewise, arc not unlikely to see a better day, especially the Baron's colt, upou whom his party were rather " sweet." Wood Nymph, the favourite, never showed in the racn, which was succeeded by a paltry Selling Sweepstakes, won by Lady Conyngham " at the top," and then the dead heat was brought upon the tapis. In the meantime, Fordham had been engaged for Prioress in the place of the American boy who rode her before, and Bray being a jockey of greater experience than Little was put upon El Hakim, whiist Grimshaw again " tooled" Queen Bess. These changes iu the jockeys increased the confidence of the supparters of the Richmond horse, aud though giving away his year to the American mare ( who ought to have won the first time, although in justice to Tauksley he rede very creditably con- sidering it was his first essay in England), El Hakim left off with the decided call in the betting, owing to most of the book- makers,'. for whom ; he was of course by far the worst of the three, embracing the opportunity of " getting out." The majority of the public backed Prioress, against whom the Ring of course had plenty of money to bet from tbe circumstance of very few having laid previous to the race. The horses did not reach the post until after five o'clock, by which time it was so dusk that it was impossible to distinguish their colours in running uutil within half a mile of home, when Prioress was observed to hang to the left as before, and on Fordham using the whip with his left hand to keep her straight, there was a simultaneous shout of " the American's beaten !" At the top of the Bushes Hill it looked like a match between the two young owes, but in the dip they were fairly pumped out, aud Fordisam obeying his in- structions to the letter by keeping a " hard pull" upon his mare to the last, she struggled with indomitable gameness, and running the longest, landed the " stripes and stars" victorious by a length and a half— a tremendous struggle between the other two for the second money resulting in favour of El Hakim by a head. In rising the hill out of the Abingdon mile bottom, El Hakim began to hang from distress, and swerving against Queen Bess carried her with bia » across the course, which led to a claim of the second money by Mr Saxon, but the latter afterwards withdrew the objection, as it was apparent that however serious the disappointment to his mare's chance, the " cannon" was purely the result of accident. The time of the deciding heat was six seconds slower than the first, which, in turn, was five seconds faster than lass year's race. The success of Prioress was the signal for a tremendous out- burst of cheering, which lasted several seconds, and en route from the Heath and in the town subsequently Mr Ten Broeck was overwhelmed with congratulations upon his great tri- umph, which, curious enough, was accomplished under what may be termed the American system of " heats!" That Prioress might have won the first time but for the serious disappointment she met with in the race, is not at ali improbable even in tbe hands of her native jockey, but without intending the slightest injustice to the boy his want of skill at the finish was so palpable that Mr Ten Broeck deter- mined to throw no chance away, and finding that his opponents were going to adopt the same course, acted upon the advice of some of our cleverest judges, and obtained the best talent to be procured for the deciding heat, the result of which will no doubt create intense gratification throughout the whole of the American continent. In estimating the triumph, how- ever, and we by no meaus wish to detract from it, it must be borne in. mind that Prioress, though a year older, ran El Hakim at even weights; nor must it be supposed by our Yankee friends on the other side of the Atlantic that Mr Ten Broeck has hitherto run his horses to be beaten for the purpose of getting " well in" this race. He has backed each of them for a large amount on every occasion they have started, and owing to the wretcked manner in which Prioress randuringthepreviousweekatChester his opinion of iier chance for the Cesarewitch was so completely " knocked on the head" that he had little encouragement to back her, consequently his winnings do not cover one half the expenses his stud has hitherto entailed, to say nothing of the recent loss of Lecomte, whom it was Mr Ten Broeck's intention to have sent to America as a stallion. The hopes of the stable were centreed in Pryor for the Cesarewitch, and in two bets of 20,000 to 20 each, which Mr Ten Broeck^ took about winning the double event, Pryor was selected in both for the Cesarewitch, coupled with Babylon and Prioress for the Cambridgeshire ! Pryor, however, as already noticed, was placed hors de com- bat on the eve ot the meeting by illness, aud not as many supposed from having been beaten by Prioress in a trial. In justice to Brown ( who has had charge of Mr Ten Broeck's horses since Goodwood,) we ought to state that the condition in which he brought Prioress to the post reflected great credit upon his skill as a trainer, for to get through under such extraordinary cir- cumstances the mare must have undergone au undeniable pre- paration. Leaving further discussion of this memorable race to abler hands, it only remains for us to record the disastrous effects the result occasioned amongst the gentlemen and backers of horses generally, whilst the Rine wins almost to a man, and many bookmakers arc- reported toThave landed great stakes, Mr Davies, who had a large double- event book and laid 1,000 to 10 to a considerable amount against naming the winners of both Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, won every bet he had upon the race— if El Hakim or Queen Bess had pulled off the deciding heat he would not have been in quite so pleasant a position. We subsequently heard of one bookmaker having laid a thousand pounds to a sovereign against Prioress and Rosa Bonheur, aud Prioress and Duuboyne for the double event. There was a little betting in the town before dinner upon the Cambridgeshire, and Prioress had the call of a point over Queen Bess and El Hakim, who were backed at 12 to 1 each ; Fright had several supporters at 15 to 1, and 30 to 1 was taken about Saunterer. At the Rooms, in the evening, when it was by no means difficult to distinguish winners from losers, the American mare was backed at 10 to 1 in the early part, but gradually declined to 14 to 1, which price was offered against either of the " dead heaters" at the close, when our note book exhibited the following quotations:— 14 to 1 agst Prioress, 14 to 1 agst El Ha- kim, 14 to 1 agst Queen Bess, 15 to 1 agst Fright, 20 to 1 agst the Plush colt, 20 to 1 agst Whistling Willie ( who turned out to be none the worse for his runaway galiop into Malton,) 20 to 1 agst Cyrene, 25 to 1 agst Mdlle De Chantilly, 25 to 1 agst Liverpool, 28 to 1 agst Fanny Grey, 30 to 1 agst Saunterer, 40 to 1 agst Ronzi, 40 to 1 agst Kestrel, and 50 to 1 agst Ellington.

After passing through the ditch gap several changes occurred among the foremost horses, and on ri& iug the hill out of " choke jade," Dusty Miller, Poacher, Sluggard, and oiie or two others dropped into the ruck. The running was then taken up by Queen Bess, who overpowered her tiny jockey and went on with a lead of a couple of lengths, followed from the commencement of the fiat by Cerva, Odd Trick, Fright, the Plush colt, and Barfleur; Emulator, El Hakim, Warlock, Lima, Zigzag, Poodle, Illumi- nator, Black Tommy and the favourite, as near as we could make out, still forming the next division until near the T. Y. C. winning post, when Lima broke do wn very badly in the near hiud pastern, aad Barfleur, Tasmania, and Black Tommy exhibited symptoms of having had enough of it. The pace now slackened a little, which let up Prioress, Fisherman, Saunterer, and some of the rear division, and owing to the immense body of horses still clustered together " cannons" and collisions were " plentiful as blackberries." Something ( El Hakisa, we be- lieve) gave Cerva ( whose jockey just before had drawn her back to the head of the ruck) a regular broadside, which knocked her on to her head and knees; and whilst in the act of recovering herself the mare was placed altogether hors de combat through Prioress, Who happened to be too closs behind to be pulled to the right or left, almost stumbling over her. Tanksley was thrown on to Prioress's neck, and iu his efforts to recover his seat lacerated the mare a good deal with his spurs about the shoulder. Before reaching the Bushes, the fate of " the Dabler," who had to be roused with the whip a mi! e from home, was sealed, and soon after passing them Poodle fell so lame that Alfred Day in- stantly pulled him up, At the top of the hill the positions of the foremost horses became easily distinguished. Queen Bess ( on the right, or judge's side of the course), was about a length in advance fof El Hakim, who was running on her whip hand, with Fright, Odd Trick, aud Emulator close together at the heels of the Richmond horse; and next to them, in the middle of the course, followed Zigzag, Warlock, Martinet, and Saun- terer in a cluster, while on the extreme left,| almost level with El Hakim, was Prioress, who suddenly appeared from the ruck as they began to make the dip with such a formidable front that loud shouts of " the American wins" arose on all sides. In the Abingdon Mile bottom, Odd Trick, Zig Zag, Saunterer, Mar- tinet, Emulator, and Fright were beaten, and in rising the hill the weight stopped Warlock. The race was then left to Queen Bess, El Hakim, and Prioress, and was contested with great severity to the chair, the American mare having much the bast of it until within fifty yards of home, wheu she ran out to the left from distress and the lack of assistance from her jockey ( whose style of finishing presented a striking contrast to that of his two tiny opponents) thereby letting up Queea Bess and El flakim, the latter of whom caught Mr Saxon's filly in the very last stride, and these two having their heads level with that of Prioress at the winning- post, Mr Clarke was com- pelled to award a dead heat with the three. Fright finished close under the chair two lengths off, and about a length behind him in the middle of the course Zigzag was fifth, half a length in advance of Warlock, who was sixtti. Odd Trick, Martinet, and Emulator were next, about half a length from Warlock, so close together that each jockey claims the seventh place, and at the heels of Warlock, with his nose at the latter's quarters was Sauuterer, who won the bets that his owner laid about the horse being within thirty yards of the winner, by nearly half that distance, Mr H. Hibburd ( who is gradually re- covering from his serious illness) aud Mr T. Marshall, jun, being the referees to decide the point. The next lot comprised Mons Dobler, Eloquence, and Renown, but further than this we cannot attempt to specify: suffice it to state, that owing to the remainder kaviug been pulled up a long way from home they presented a tremendous " tail." The last lot comprised Fisherman ( who showed momentarily in a forward position at the Bushes, when the weight stopped him), Litna, Gunboat, Black Tommy, and Poacher, the latter being the " absolute last." Run iu 4min 9sec. DECIDING HEAT. Betting: 5 to 4 agst El Hasim ( tk), 9 to 4 agst Prioress ( tk), and 7 to 2 agst Queen Bess ( ts). El Hakim showed iu advance for the first fifty yards, wheu Prioress, over- powering " the bantam," rushed past him, and taking a lead of five or six lengths made play at a rattling pace to the Ditch gap ; after passing which Fordham suc- ceeded in mastering his mare, and drawing her back at the top of the hill resigned the lead to Queen Bess, who went on with the running at a slightly diminished pace. Across the fiat El Hakim and Prioress laid almost level with each other ( though rather wide), nearly three lengths behind the light weight to the Bushes, where Fordham appeared to be hard upon the Yankee. At this point Queen Bess's lead was reduced to about a length, and in descending the hill El Hakim got upon even terms with her, but tiring iu the bottom the two were caught and headed by Prioress, who attempted to ^ iang as in the previous race until Fordham applied the whip with his left hand, whereupon she struggled with great gameness, and clear- ing the " Britishers" in the cords, won in gallant style, though much distressed, by a length and a half. El Hakim slight; y " cannoned" QueeuBess on rising the hill, and beat her by a head for the secoud money, a claim to which was made at the scale by Mr Saxon on the ground of a cross, but subsequently withdrawn.

WEDNESDAY.— Settling on the Cesarewitch occupied the sole attention throughout the morning, and all Mr Tattersall's eloquence failed to attract purchasers for more than a fourth of the two dozen lots which he submitted to public competition in front of the Rooms; nor was the freehold racing establishment of the late Mr Robert Stephenson disposed of. For an " off day" the card was an unusually goad one, and, added to the brilliancy of the weather, which more resembled July than October, attracted a large show of company to the Heath, em- bracing most of the distinguished visitors of the previous day. The racing, though not of" a character calling for lengthened comment, was noticeable for bringing together one or two large fields for the handicaps, and for a continuance of fortune's favours towards the fielders, who met with several rare " turns up" during the afternoon, the first race, to begin with, for which the Hersey filly was the favourite and Julia the winner, coming off " crabbs" for the gentlemen. The latter, however, got their money back iu the Match, wherein the high bred Rose de Florence ( sister to Rosa Bonheur), beat the two year old Miss Whip filly without the sembiatice of a contest; but iu the D. M. Handicap, which followed, the ' 1 talents" were again " out" with Skyc& tter aud Apathy, the race being carried off by King- maker, whose success surprised no one morethanhis own stable. The Select Stakes was walked over for by Anton, and the Town Plate proved an easy victory for Elfrida, about whom and Lawn the betting was equally spirited. The numbers of the seven starters in the Two Year Old Handicap on the last half of the Abingdon Mile were no sooner displayed in the telegraph thau La Fille du Regiment became a tremendous pot, and at the close 6 and 7 to 4 was betted on her, the only other animal in any demand being Polly Johnson, who had to give the favourite lumps of weight. Being literally " turned loose," Lord Chester- field's filly brought off the " good thing" without causing the slightest uneasiness to her backers in any part of the race. The venue was then changed to the Duke's Stand, where the Bedford Stakes course finishes. This was the next event to be decided, and appropriately enough the race was so far regarded as a " certainty" for the noble duke alter whom it is named, that many bookmakers turned round, and laid 7 to 2 and 3 to 1 ou Killigrew, whilst others, from an idea that there was little chance of getting back the money they dropped on La Fille du Regiment, declined to bet upon it. The " glorious uncertainty," however, was again exemplified, aud the truth of the old adage, " it never rains but it pours," borne out in the defeat of the ta- vourite by Belle ( purchased by Mr Ten Broeck at the Rawc'iiffe sale last year), whereupon the success of the red and white over the purple and buff " stripes" of his Grace of Bedford created almost as great a sensation as when Fordham bore them in triumph on the American mare for the great event yesterday. Belle caught the whip a long way from home, and struggled with such extraordinary gameness that Fordham literally rode Pettit out of the race at last. The latter morever rode contrary to orders, it appears, and was severely reprimanded by Admiral Rous, who severed his further con- nection with the stable by ordering the jockey to deliver up his cap and jacket at once. Sharp accordingly wore it in the last race, which Leontes won by a head after a very fine struggle with The Flying Duke, whose Bib penalty just enabled the winner to turn the tables upon him for his defeat in the Spring. Supple Jack, more fancied by the public than his owEer, ran slow throughout. TheOatl& nds Plate, wo had almost omitted to state, brought out a dozen of the niisetaen handicapped for it, and was carried off by Uzella, quite an outsider, who had 110 supporters amongst her own party, the favourites being Druid and Helen Ragan, the latter of whom subsequently indulged in a gallop through the town as far as the Limekilns, whilst Vision, a good looking im- portation from Russia, could not be persuaded to go to the post at all, and went " turnip gatheriug" with Charlton across Mr . Bottom's farm, which adjoins the lower side of the Cambridge- shire Course. The Cambridgeshire betting on the Heath and in the Town after the races presented few changes, the only horses in de- mand being El Hakim, Odd Trick, and Mcestissima, 12 to 1 being taken rather freely about the first, and 1,000 to 30 and 30 to 1 about each of the others. The following price- current will sufficiently oxplaiu the state of the market on the Cam- bridgeshire at the " evening sitting":— 11 to 1 against El Hakim ( offered), 141 © 1 against Prioress, 100 to 6 against Queen Bess, 100 to 6 against Fright, 20 to 1 against the Plush colt, 25 to 1 agaiust Moestissima ( tk), 25 to 1 against Odd Trick, 25 to 1 against Duuboyne, 33 to 1 against Mons.

In the course of the day Vandyke was backed for a large amount at 40, 33, and 30 to 1. A meeting of the Jockey Club took place after the races, at which, in addition to some ordinary business, Lord Glasgow gave notice of his intention to move aa amendment to Lord Derby's motion on the subject of betting to the effect that no bets whatever shall be p. p. Mr Greville likewise intimated his iiatention of bringing forward a motion to check the growing injustice of one trainer tempting stable boys away from another employer. Mr Ten Broeck wa3 unanimously elected a member of the New Rooms.

Helen Ragan, overpowering Custance, cut out the work to the Red Stand, where the running was taken up by Cave Adullam, fol- lowed by the light weight, Bird iu Hand, Salonica, Little Tom, and Gilliver, Hobgoblin aud Uzella lying off. Before reaching the Duke's Stand Cave AdullamYesigned the leadtoBird inHand, who held it uutil within two hundred yards of home. Hobgoblin and Uzella, who had been gradually creeping up, them showed in advance, the mare going on with the lead and winning cleverly by half a length. Bird in Hand finished three lengths from the second, and Salonica, who was fourth, two lengths from him, Helen Ragau being fifth, Little Tom sixth, and The Abbot next; the others tailed off a long way. The Russian horse, Vision, refused to start with the others and afterwards bolted out of the course into the turnip fields, across which he ran some dis- tance Ijpfore Charlton could check his mad carecr. After passing the post, Helen Ragan bolted into the town, ran through the High- street, up the Bury road, through the turnpike, and for about a quarter of a mile upon the Lime Kilns before Custance could stop her, and it was only by running her head into the hedge that he at last succeeded in doing so.

The racing commenced at half- past one o'clock with the Bretby Stakes, for which the owners of four very moderate fillies were bold enough to put down the full stake against Blanche of Mid- dlebie. The speculation turned out anything but a profitable one, and the favourite, upon whom the odds were 4 and 5 to 1, won very cleverly— requiring, however, a touch of the " prickers" to rouse her at the finish. The Hundred Pound Plate, across the Flat, which followed, brought out eighteen of the six- aud- tweuty entered, but the betting was extremdy dull, and confined almost entirely to Csrva and Martinet, Bracken, though " turned loose," beiug by no means such a " pot" as the public anticipated. The latter, after going to the post, whereby the validity of the bets about him was established, preferred a bit of steeple chasing on his own account, and after getting rid of Challoner galloped almost as far as Burwell before he was captured. The race was carried off by a veritable outsider— Little Tom— who, ridden by a stable boy, made play throughout and won in a canter, to the delight of the fielders and the inexpressible disgust of those who, from his having dropped them iu the hole the day before, declined to trust him on this occasion. The contest between Delusion, Sunrise, and Nougat' for a small Selling Sweepstakes on the first half of the Ab. Mile, was one of the finest during the meeting, and won by Lord Wm. Powlett's horse by the shortest of heads. Eight starters were telegraphed for the D. M. Three Year Old Handicap, and Peeping Tom aud Nereus engrossed almost the exclusive attention of the Ring until just before it broke up, when there was some " nibbling" about Apathy, who subse- quently became very " hot." The hollow style ia which the horse won exhibited such a wonderful contrast to his wretched running with Kestrel and Kingmaker over the same course the day before, that the affair created quite a sensation, and eaused the conduct of his owner to be so freely commented upoa, that the Stewards of the Jockey Club in the course of the evening received a special request from that gentleman to investigate the matter, which wiil accordingly be entered into during the Houghton Meeting; and in the meantime, whilst the subject is pending, we refrain from comment thereon. The two remaining races were decided upon the first half of the Abingdon Mile, and both turned out " good things" for the favourites, Inter- cidena and Tambourine, both of whom found now owners. The Cambridgeshire transactions during the day were con- fined within a narrow limit. 2,000 to 200 was booked about El Hakim in the morning, and 1,500 to 100 about Moestissima, who was decidedly second favourite. Two points less were taken about the latter in the afternoon, when 4ft to 1 was offered agst Queen Bess, aud the same price agst Apathy, whose owner pub- licly stated in the town that bookmakers need not take the trouble to bet against the horse, as he should not start him. The Subscription Room at night was almost deserted ; betting was at a standstill, and the attention of the few present was chiefly devoted to a new match of a peculiar novel character which had been got up for the last day.

In this order, as it commenced, the race finished, the favourite, whose lead was never disturbed, winning after a taste of the" prickers" by three- quarters of a length. A head each separated the second, third, and fourth, and Humming Bird was beaten three or four lengths. Run in lmin 27sec.

At the Bushes Cerva dropped off, and the race was left to the three placed, Codring. ton going on second into the bottom, when he was passed by Kingmaker, who challenged Little Tom half- way up the hill, but failed to reaeh him, and was beaten by a length, Codringtoa finishing two lengths from Kingmaker, At an interval of four or five lengths the Elcot's dam colt was fourth, aud close up with him were Bird in Hand aad Cerva, Renown se » arating them from the rear division, whieh was widely scattered. Bracken was very fractious before starting, and whilst walking to the post bolted to the left, and jumped over the fence into the Portland Farm and out again. Falling in the lane he got rid of Challoner, who fortunately escaped unhurt, and then gal* loped- across Mr Westley's farm, followed on horseback by Lord Chesterfield, Ash mall, and Alec Taylor, to Burwell, where he was captured!

FRIDAY.— The card gave promise of the best day's sport during the meeting, and the expectation was fully realised. No fewer than eleven engagements were brought to issue, all of which, it is a remarkable circumstance, were carried off by the aristocracy, albeit the gentlemen had an awful time of it owing to the defeat of so many SiVoarites, The sports commenced at twelve o'clock with an All- aged Handicap on the first half of the Ab. Mile, which was woa by Lord Clifdea's two year old half- brother to Loyola, beating alargeishfield. Tambourine being reserved for something better, the small two year old Selling Race on the same course was booked a " certainty" for Penseroso, but he was last of the three, and victory smiled ou Lord Chesterfield's Babette filly. Another " pot" boiled over in the T. Y. C. Handicap for two's and three's, whereia Lord Clifdeu' 3 colours were agaia suc- cessful upon the back of Chanoinesse, who at only a trilling difference of weight beat Pinsticker as far to- day as she was beaten by the latter in the " Nursery Plate" oa Monday! The non- appearance of Mr Gratwicke's " dark" Derby favourite. Ethiopian ( who was sent home amiss yesterday), deprived thePreudergast of its main interest, and as the Find on stable was reported to have foand out a ' true line through Eclipse, Amster- dam was backed against the field in spite of his 31b penalty. The latter, however, had to succumb to Baron Rothschild's promising colt, Mentmore, who won in such clever style that he was sub- sequently backed for the Derby at 25 to 1. The Baron, strange to say, ran second for the Clearwell, and afterwards won the Prendergast last year. The Match between Gin and Leontes was the first " drop of cordial" for the gentlemen, the majority of whom would also win apon Sydney's race, whieh followed, and wherein every one of the nine starters was backed ; but in the Match between Melibseus andThe Blacksmith the layers of odds had a severe attack of the " mulligrubs," the pains from which were by no means relieved by the " bleeding' 8 they underwent in endeavouring to recover their losses by laying odds indiscriminately on Saunterer against Heroine in the next Match. There was but one opinion beforehand amongst trainers, jockeys, and the most experienced judges, that no tws year old in the world could beat the black horse at 211b; but the fielders remained true to their vocation, nevertheless, and were re- warded for their boldness by the success of Heroine, who, being a rare beginner, chopped down Saunterer before he could well get on his legs, and won by two lengths — a little further, aud their positions would have been re- versed, as Sauaterer was catching the mare at every . stride towards the finish. The spirited owner of Heroine was after- wards honoured with as popular aa " ovation" as was paid to Mr Ten Broeck after his mare won the deciding heat of the Cesarewitch, and from having made aa offer to compromise over- night, the victory, inasmuch a3 that it was unexpected, proved the mora gratifying, although from having exhibited discretion in hedging aportioa of the stake, " Mr Robinson's" winnings were by no means extensive. Heroine was subsequently matched for 200 a side against Mainstay for half a mile, 6st each, to run in the Houghton Mooting; and on the platform at Cambridge, dur- ing the stoppage of the " special," en route to town, she was also matched to give 4lb to any two year old of Mr Barber's on the Saturday of the same meeting fer 200 a side, p. p., half a mile, the weights to be 6st 4lb and 6- st; and Polly Peachum, it was stated, would be Mr Barber's representative. Lord Clifden threw in a third main with Tambourine in the Two Year Old Selling Stakes on the " last half," and found a* host of claimants for the winner at nearly four times the price which he gave for her yesterday. In the Match with Lord Glasgow's Phy- salis filly, Killigrew, in the able hands of Flatman ( who, if we mistake not, sported the Duke of Bedford's colours for the first time to- day), cut a far more satisfactory figure than iu his two pravioas races. The last race oa the card was an amateur Match Sweepstakes with hacks, which was expected to afford considerable amusement, but when it transpired that Mr Ten Broeck had paid forfeit, the interest in the race was considerably lessened, and not half the comnany ( which was ex- tremely good for the last day) remained to witness it. The match turned out a very sporting affair, however, and resulted ia the defeat of the favourite by a head, after au exciting and well contested struggle. The rider of the winner happened to beoaeofthe heaviest losers by his victory, for from a " taste" beforehand, though opposed to au old race horse, the gallant grey was supposed to be the best!

Stewards; Sir T. Burke, Bart, the Marquis of Waterford, and William Quin, Esq. Ranger : Robert Browne, Esq. Deputy Ranger and Keeper of the Match- book : J. R. Huntfer, Esq. Judge : Mr R. J. Hunter. Starter : Mr Clancy. Considering the unfavourable weather, coupled with the counter- attraction of Newmarket, there was a pretty fair at- tendance at this meeting, most of the regular habitu& s of the Curragh being present, the show of general company not, how- ever, reaching an average, owing in part to the absence of the military contingent, the great camp being now in the sole occupa. tion of a single regiment of the line and the Antrim Rifles. The Standhouse, tenanted by some three dozen persons, presented its usual dreary appearance, for notwithstanding a close drizzling rain continued to fall all Tuesday the public would not pay for the double admission, being content with what shelter the en- closure afforded, the consequence being that that portion of it under the piazza was inconveniently crowded, preventing free ingress to the lower part of the building. We have several times suggested that there should be one charge only for admission to both stand and enclosure, and we have no doubt that the re- ceipts would thereby be considerably increased ; but whether or not, it is a pity to see so fine and commodious a building al- most useless. Immediately on the arrival of the usual special, which was freighted by some 500 visitors from the metropolis, the business of the day commenced with the Scurry Handicap, for which a field of twelve reached the starting- post, Re- medy, Sans Culotte, and Dancing Master being the three selected by the " talents" to stand upon, and it will be seen that they drew " first blood" with the latter, al- though supported for less money than either of the others. Remedy was beaten easily; but it was a very fine point between Dancing Master, Surprise, and Sans Culotte, the votary of Terpsichore j ust getting through by a short neck. The Gald Whip being looked upon as a " foregone conclusion," 11 a specu- lation took place on it, Fireblast gaining the old trophy, and a better thing, the 100 guineas, for his master without an effort. The advent of Sprig of Shillelagh for the Two and Three- year- old Queen's Plate quite upset all confidence in Prizefighter and Spero, both of which were forced to succumb most ingloriously to the " Sprig," who, finding himself quite at home on his native turf, won in a canter. His success was only the prelude to one still greater for theTupgill stable, Barbary winning the principal race of the meeting immediately afterwards, owing entirely to the fine riding of Bullock, who just " nobbed " it on the post by the shortest of heads, Eyrecourt and Odessa finishing so close together the judge was unable to separate them, Encore finish- ing scarce a head from them. It was the closest and finest con- test seen at the Curragh between four for many a day. The winner was supported for a great deal of money, and left off first favourite. Odessa and Eyrecourt had also the warm support of their respective stables, and from Encore's position at the end the latter ought, his party say, to have won, and to the ground, which was very holding, is attributed his defeat. The Kirwan Stakes were won in a « . anter by Altro, tke 71b penalty incurred by Firablast for winning the Whip, together with his gallop over thecourse, militating much against him. Agitation, as usual, took a commanding lead, but thegroundsoon held her, and she " stopped upto nothing" half a milefromhome. TheKildare Handicap— run almost in the dark— brought out a field of eight, and The Tattler, after a slow run race, defeated Gamekeeper's rush at the finish, and won by a length. Ou Wednesday the weather, though wet and hazy iu the morning, took up at noon, and con- tinued fine the remainder of the day. The sport commenced with the Trainers' Stakes, for three year olds, which brought seven to the pest, The Tattler and Altro, both in the Conyng- ham Lodge stable, beiug equal favourites. The race at the finish was confined to the pair, Altro, owing to The Tattler shutting up iu the last few strides, winning by a short neck. High odds were laid on Darling for the Beresford Stakes, but the gallant captain whose name gives title to the race was within an ace of upsetting the " good thing" with Buckstone— the Cotherstone colt out of Lady Betty— who, if he had not changed his legs in the last few strides, must have won. Canary ran fast half the distance, but evidently wants the staying power. The two succeeding races— Her Majesty's Guineas and the Sligo Stakes— were mere canters for Sprig of Shillelagh and The Knight of Malta, high odds being offered on each without finding response. The Scurry Corinthians brought the afternoon's sport to a close, but not, we are concerned to state, without an unpleasant wran- . gie between some of the gentlemen riders and the starter, which, as the matter is to be inquired into before the Stewards, we will not now further allude to. For the first heat nothing tried but Enchantar, Confidence, and Belmont, the former winning a splendid race by a head. A bungle was made in the starting of the second heat, Simpleton, who was backed for large sums, being, in company with Belmont, left at the post, St Helens getting such a start that nothing had a chance of catching him, and ho won the deciding heat equally easy. The weather 011 Thursday was as fine as could be desired— a bright and genial autumnal day ; the course was in consequence in much better order than on either of the previous days. The attendance however was very meagre, being almost entirely con- fined to the regulars. The first race decided was the Trainers' Stakes for Two year Olds, which brought out a field of eleven, Buckstone being made tha favourite, and he justified the con- fidence of his party by winning cleverly, but it was just on the cards for Georgia to have won had he not stumbled in crossing the road, which was in a very bad and dangerous state. Nine ran for the Third Class Trainers' Stakes, for which Sunshine had it all his own way, winning in a canter. The Lord Lieu- tenant's Plate was contested by seven, 5 to 2 being freely laid 011 The Sprig, who proved himself a very tough and sore twig to his opponents, winning this, the third time of asking, without an effort.

Encore, to serve her stable companion, Eyrecourt, jumped off with the lead arid made strong running to opposite the Stand, where Barbary, Odessa, and Eyrecourt reached her, the four finishing so close together the judge was only able to select the winner in Barbary, who just popped her head iu front on the post; a dead heat for second between Odessa and Eyre- court, who finished only a head in advance of Encore. Zaidee ran in a very forward place to the Lord Lieutenant's gate, where she was beaten, finishing several lengths off, in company with Georgic and Magician, the absolute last baiug Credit.

W. • » * Two letters upon " Turf Reform" unavoidably stand over. We regret to state that Mr C. F. Perry, a well- known member of Tattersall's, met with an accident of a very serious nature at Newmarket on Thursday last. In jumping from a carriage, a ring which he wore en the third finger of his left hand became fixed in one of the springs of the roof, whereby the finger was torn completely off. Medical aid was instantly procured and under the influence of chloroform the stump was removed at the knuckle- joint. Considerable sympathy was manifested amongst Mr Perry's numerous friends and acquaintances, and we are happy to state that he was able to return home on Friday morning, much better than under the circumstances could be expected.

Martel en Tete was beat when fairly in the straight, and Goelette was left with the lead, but at the distance Tonnerre des Iudes came out. closely followed by Balaguy and Gouvieux, the latter coming wide outside his horses. In a few strides Goelette gave way, and lonuerre des Indes was joined by Gouvieux, when a fine race ensued, Tonuerre des Indes, never quite collared, winning by a neck; Goelette was beaten two lengths from the second, and was about half a length in advance of Balaguv, who was fourth ; Martel en T6te, Seigneurie, and Trovatore, were next close together; then came Phoebus. Phfmix, aud Leuilly, and some others, Forestier, Furens, and Conti whipping in nearly a quarter of a mile behind the winner.

S PARIS RACES. [ PBOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] The second day's racing proved a great success, being alto- gether of the most interesting description. The first race, the Prix Principal, brought out Mdlle de Chantilly, the Cambridge- shire favourite, once more to face an old opponent— Duchess— at heats (!) It will be necessary to mention that the former, after her race last Sunday, nearly kicked herself out of the railway box on her way home to Chantilly, and she looked none the better for the performance to day, various patches here and there testifying to the truth of the reports which had been in circula* tion regarding the accident. Added to these injuries Mademoi- selle was otherwise indisposed, and seemed in a particularly eapricious mood, lashing out at her clothing as the wind or any action moved it. Duchess, on the contrary, usually so fretful, was perfectly sage, and her clever but eccentric trainer persisted that notwithstanding her wretched running all the season, she was just as likely to win to- day, giving away six pounds, as she was when receiving eighteen at Moulins of the same animal. In the first heat, Duchess not going for it, Mdlle de Chantilly beat Paladin in the commonest of trots by six lengths, Marveille a bad third; but in the second heat, having lost a great deal of start, and having made it up in the first half- mile, when called upon, she hung to the other mare, and was beaten cleverly by half a length. For the third heat she got well away, and quite out- paced ner opponent, but" cut it" in the pieceof heavy going, and allowing her to approach her at the distance, would not make an effort, and was defeated easily by a length. This defeat was a sad blow to the partisans of Mdlle de Chantilly, whose Cambridge- shire investments were for the moment clouded; but asDuchess, when in the humour, is declared to be the best animal ever trained at Lamorlaye, having beaten Lion and Miss Cath at fabulous weights as a two year old, there is no unfavourable line to be taken through this performance in " heats" (!) The true line is through the English horses, and, if the mare gets well to the post, they declare she will come in alone for the Newmarket event. The Grand Criterium produced the heaviest betting race ever known, with the exception of the Derby, and sixteen runners were finally telegraphed. Balaguy was backed for a great stake by his owner and all the stable— a big stake also going on for the Derby— and Wells was over, expressly to ride him. Martel en T6te and Tonnerre des Indes were backed heavily, and Gouvieux, Goelette, and the outsiders all received considerable support. The start was a wretched affair, and half of the horses were out of the race from the beginning; never- theless the favourites and public performers were among the for- tunate, and, with the exception of Balaguy, had little to com- plain of. Balaguy, however, was on the turn at the time of start, and did not begin very well, and eventually got shut in, or probably he would have been nearer the mark. Altogether, the race was a very correct repetition of former running, and Tonnerre des Indes won very cleverly by a neck from Gou- vieux, whom Watkins evidently did not see coming with such a rush on the outside of everything. The race was confined to these two from the half- distance, Vedette, Balaguy, and Seigneurie finishing close together, about two lengths from the second. After the race, as little as 7 to 1 was taken about Tonuerre des Indes, who is a monstrous fine horse, and likely to hold the favouritism in the Derby all the winter. Gouvieux, who is rather undersized, but very clean and racing looking, would have been backed at 12 to 1, and Balaguy at 15 to 1. The Prix Imperial was contested only by Monarque and Potocki, and according to the new regu- lations the distance was increased to three miles—" one fly." Odds varying from 5 to 1 to 5 to 2 were laid on Monarque, who, perhaps, a little stale, and from his easy defeat at Chantilly, did not carry favour on all sides. Potocki, however, was in no form, and trying to cut down his opponent really told against himself, and at the finish he was beaten easily by the oldnorse. The stable of the Prince de Beauvau, which is reported as coming to th* " hammer" after the season, was in great force, and the Prix des Haras was carried off very cleverly by Foret du Lys, beating a field of nine. The weather was very fine, but cloudy and threatening, and the stands very scantily occupied; the in- terior of the course, however, was well lined with carriages, ind horsemen were not wanting to add to the picturesqueness of this naturally beautiful spot.

Duchess and Marveille cut out the work at a great pace, Mdlle de Chantilly having been left at the post about twenty lengths behind; opposite the Stand, on the far side, however, she made up her lost ground, and ran up beside the leaders, and the three went on in company to the first turn; here Marveille fell back beaten, and Mdlle de Chan- tilly took a trifling lead of Duchess, the two coming on together to the distance, wheie Duchess drew gradually in advance, and won cleverly by half a length.— Third heat: 6 to 4 on Duchess. Mdlle de Chantilly led at a great pace for the first three quar- ters of a mile, increasing her lead at the first turn for home to about three lengths; here Duchess appeared to be beaten, but shortly afterwards Mdlle de Chantilly slackened the pace, and Duchess coming again, caught her at the distance, and won easily by a length. 4 11 12 2 s 8 dr 2 dr STEEPLE CHASING.

TROTTING. On Saturday, the 10th inst, at eight a. m., a sporting affair took place ou the Uxbridge- road, between Mr Griffith's bay mare Polly ( of Somers Town), and Mr Greenwood's black mare Nancy, the terms being to trot two miles in harness, for £ 10 a side; owners to drive. The match was only arranged the previous evening, and that well- known supporter of trotting, Mr Holt, acted in the double capacity of stakeholder and umpire. Both parties were punctual to appointment, and the start was effected admirably, the black taking the lead at a slashing pace, which she maintained throughout, arriving at the goal two hundred and fifty yards ahead of the bay, and accomplishing the distance in 6min 40sec. What made this match so novel and interesting was the fact that the winner is only a cobber, and was on the rank the day prior to the match being made, and for the last year and a quarter has been regularly at that work, her owner only having discovered her capabilities by accident. The morning was fine, the company very select, and comprised the elite of the trotting metropolitans, 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 11, 1857. AQUATIC REGISTER.

The Prince of Wales Yacht Club held their monthly meeting at the club house, the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen- street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, on the 9th inst. The principal feature in the evening's proceedings was the appointment of the annual dinner, in announcing the fixture for which the chairman dwelt upon the prosperous season which the elnb had had, and then said that Wednesday, the 18th day of November, was the day • which the Sailing Committee had agreed upon as suiting the convenience of all parties, and the banquet to be held in the great hall of the Freemasons' Tavern. The members agreed that a better day could not have been fixed, and then appointed the following gentlemen to the office of stewards, viz :— Messrs P. Turner, Herring sen, Burton, Webber, and Webster. Some gentlemen having been duly elected as members, others were placed on the list for ballot at the December meeting. In the absence of the flag officers Mr Burton filled the chair, the meet- ing being scantily attended. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.

RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The usual monthly meeting of the Ranelagh Yacht Club was held at the club house. Swan Tavern, Battersea Bridge, las1 Wednesday evening, the 14th instant, when the Commodore presided. The meeting was very numerously attended, and after the reading of the minutes and the transaction of the usual routine business, the following gentlemen were ballotted for, and declared to be duly elected, viz:— Messrs John Fielder, William Matchwick, Charles Sheppard, aud Thomas Watkins. Tfce vacancies in the sailing committee were then filled by the elec- tion of 1. G. Harris, Esq, of the yacht Wave, 9 tons, and G. W. S. Jago, Esq, A letter was read from the treasurer, C. W. Greaves, Esq, requesting to be relieved from the duties of that office, which was agreed to be done, and a vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to that gentleman for the great services he had at all times rendered to the club. The secretary was requested to act as treasurer until the appointment of a new one. A vote of thanks was also agreed to be presented to E. Guest, Esq, for his services as Vice- Commodore. Several gentle- men having been proposed for election, the Commodore adjourned the meeting until the 11th November. CLARE'S IRON SHIPBUILDING. Some new principles to be applied in the construction ef iron ships of the largest size, from which it is anticipated . that the full measure of advantage will be realised from their employment iu long lines of navigation, are laid down in a patent granted to their inventor, Mr John Clare, j un, of Liver- pool, and are admirably illustrated in a model of a vessel on the new construction, which is now attracting considerable attention among shipowners and others at Lloyd's Register Office, White Lion- court, Cornhill. Mr Clare proposes to con- struct large iron steam ships in a manner analagous to the Great Eastern, but, to avoid some disadvantage's which he conc eives to arise fr » m the form, arrangement, and connection of certain parts of that vessel. As in the Great Eastern, he proposes to have an inner and an outer shell, each formed of wrought iron plates, but these are to be kept apart by lon- gitudinal ribs of H iron, at the distance of 9in instead of 2ft lOin. So large an interval between the inner and outer shells of the ship very considerably reduces her capacity for tonnage for the sake of gaining in buoyancy— a sacrifice which he deems to be unnecessary. By overlapping the plates on the flanges of the H metal, riveting through four thicknesses, and introducing asystem of diagonal trussing in all the colls of the side, a structure of such immense strength will be pro- duced that in the strongest sea- way it is expected that it would act as if the whole ship were made in one single piece. The strength of the fabric will be still further promoted by the ordinary sectional bulk- heads, all of which are of the firmest construction, and stiffened by flanges of T iron. With regard to the form of the hull, Mr Clare aims at reducing the resistance of the water to a minimum. In vessels of the best construction no wave ought to be moved forward under the bows, as a portion of the moving force is necessarily expended upon it, and Mr Clare conceives it to be quite possible to prevent this inconvenience, by giving a sufficient hollow to the Sides to form a channel, by which the water that would otherwise be gathered up, and carried forward with the ship, is allowed to flow aft. Having got past the greatest section, the run receives such a form as enables it to direct the stream upon the rudder more perpendicularly; whereby a greater directing power is given to the wheel. The principle upon which Mr Clare determines the thwart sections of the bows is, that they should be circular arcs, or radii gradually decreasing from the stem, and having their oonvexities turned towards midships. By this arrangement he expects, that when the maximum point of resistance between the load- water line and the light- water line would be attained, under ordinary circumstances, a vessel on his principle would not be ret arded by the cause against which it pro- vides. Mr Clare adds a strengkeel, of simple construction, to the hull, and introduces a system of flooring, of immense strength, ia the lower portions. The bunkers are on either side, and the coals being taken from them in equal proportions, the vertical position of the midship sections remains unaltered. The vessel is to be 1,000ft long, 70ft broad, and 30ft in depth. These are the principal features of MrClare's invention, the value of which must of course be decided by actual experiment. They have so far, however, obtained the sanctiou of nautical architects, and should the ideas of the inventor be confirmed on trial, it is easy to see that an immense improvement will have been wrought in mammoth ship building. The very least that cau be said is, that it is certainly worth the country's while to try any experi- ment which appears at all] feasible, and the success, of which would place this great mercantile country in the closest possible proxi- mity with the remotest portions of the globe. Withtheexperience of the past before us, it would be perhaps presumptuous to look for much assistance on the part of Government; but when we consider those events on distant shores which now absorb the minds of ail, it is not to be supposed that those who hold the reins of power can altogether turn a deaf ear to proposals which, if carried out, might enable them to transplant an army sound and healthy in condition, with all the appliances and provisions of war, within a space of thirty days, to the banks of the Ganges, NEW LIFE- BOAT FOR BRIGHTON. The recent distressing shipwreck opposite the Albion Hotel, must, we believe, have convinced every one of the necessity of a good life- boat, with a trained crew attached to her, being perma- nently maintained at Brighton. Although wrecks fortunately do not frequently take place in this locality, it is evident from the recent occurrence that our best calculations on that point are apt to be baffled, and that human life may be sacrificed, not through our apathy— for we have already three life- boats in connection with Brighton— but through our neglect of the best preventive means attainable. We are, therefore, glad to under- stand that the Royal National Life- boat Institution is in com- munication with our town authorities on the subject, and that it has offered to station here an excellent new life- boat, together with a transporting carriage, provided the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood will contribute the cost of the erection of a suitable building for their reception, and raise in annual subscriptions from to £ 30 towards the permanent and efficient maintenance of the life- boat establishment. The " character and peculiar qualities of the life- boats now built for this valuable institution are well known, for hardly a week passes in which one does not see some record of their services iu saving the lives ef poor shipwrecked sailors. Indeed, the testimony in their favour, from all parts of the coast, Is almost universal. We will name a few of their remarkable qualities. Athough unusually difficult to be capsized from their peculiar build, yet, in the event of such an accident, they have the power of immediately righting themselves agitin. They also self- eject tha seas they may ship in a few seconds, through re- lieving tubes in their flooring. They row well against a heavy sea and wind; and their inertia ( or the force on them) is so great that they shoot ahead in circuiastances where ordinary life- boats would be thrown back considerably. Each life- boat of the insti- tution has a coxswain or master attached to her at a salary of £ 8 a year, and a volunteer crow who are paid either 5s or 3a a man, according to the state of the weather. Every quarter they are required to go afloat in the life- boat for exercise. Such is tha new class of life- boats of the Royal National Life- boat Institu- tion, and the mode of its manning. We believe there will be no difficulty in this town iu complying with the terms of this sooiety. Indeed, we may safely say that with ordinary diligence the whole cost of a life- boat station might be readily raised in Brighton and its vicinity.— Brighton Examiner. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN CORPE ANI> DEAL.— The scullers race between William Deal of Oherry- garden Stairs, Bermond- sey, and James Corpo of Church Stairs, Rotherbithe, for £ 25 a side, came off on Thursday last, o^ er the metropolitan course, from Putney to Mortlake. Although the prevailing fog rendered the day anythiug but inviting, the Venus steamer" ( Captain Sharplin) carricd a large number of spectators to the scene of action anxious to view the performances of these below- bridgers, about whom much has lately been said, although their deeds have hitherto been chiefly confined to their own neighbourhood. Betting at starting was pretty generally 5 and 6 to 4 on Deal. Thomas Day and Alexander Grace were umpires respectively for Corpe and Deal, end Captain Sharplin undertook the office of referee. Deal, having won the toss, took the Middlesex shore, and at a little before one o'clock they both took their stations, accompanied by their cutters, William Poeock being in the head of Deal's, aud George Driver in Corpe's. They got away capitally together, and remained even for about fifty yards, when Corpe gradually stole^ away, and was almost clear at Finch's ; Deal now began to come up, and they were level for 200 yards, when Deal gradually took the lead, and was just clear after rowing half a mile. As far as regarded their positions there was no change after this, but Corpe held his opponent well to Craven Cottage, and throughout rowed an exceedingly game stern wager. Deal gradually increased his lead all the way, and won by six or seven lengths. The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office on Thursday next, at noon, and on the evening of the same day they will be handed over in form at Mr Newton's, Lion and Castle, Bermondsey Wall. TEMPLE AMATEURS AQUATIC CLUB— The members of the above club rowed their second four- oared match of the season on Monday last, from Putney Bridge to Chiswick, when the fol- lowing was the result:— Yeliow— H, Dyer, T.

A capital start was effected, Green going off with the lead, closely pressed by Blue, Red and Yeilow bringing up the rear. They continued thus for some distance, when Red and Yeliow shot ahead, the former with a slight lead, which they maintained till off the Crab Tree, when yellow came up with them, and after a most exciting struggle won by about two lengths. Green came in behind Red about four lengths. Blue gave in at Hammersmith Bridge. Mr Kip- ling, treasurer of the club, was referee, ADDISON, W AKKBLL, J ATKINSON, J! ..... AUSTEN, J BAKHB, G.

It may be added that, in return for very great kindness shown to him by all classes of people of this city, as well as county, and for which he always expressed himself grateful, Bentley has given to all who recollect his correct no- tions of the. game a high tone of cricket feeling, such as the writer of this, au observer of the game ia all its beariugs, bad seldom seen on provincial grounds. It may be gratifying to all cricketers to know what the citizens of Hereford can appre- ciate, that as a soldier in some metropolitan corps, the writer believes, called in joke at the time of the breaking out of the French war, the " lumber troop," Bentley was enabled to accept by the kind and considerate offer of that noble patron of old a oglish sports, Mr Arkwright, a home for the remainder of his life in that munificent receptacle endowed br the Earl of Essex, and known as th « Coningsby Hospital, to which he had bsen elected some time during the last year .— Hereford Times.

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.

Bell's Life in London, from its first number, asj well as the Marylebone Club books ( by authority of the om- mittee), have been carefully searched, aud many important and interesting events abstracted; numerous other reprint and manuscript copies have also been examined, which fully prove that many other good matches were played years back, and he hopes the scores of them are still obtainable. Address to Fred. Lilly white, 2, New Coventry- street, Leicester- square. ERBATUM.— In the report of the Glasgow match last week we stated that John Lilly white played, fer the first time, on the side of a Tweatv- two. He, however, played in 1850, with Twenty- two of Rugby, when he scored 53 ( not out) against the All Eng- land Eleven. THE LATE HENRY BENTLET.— Henry Beatley, for nearly twenty years past, had lived amongst us as a cricketer, and been much noticed by all classes, not only on account of his knowledge and skill in the national game, but also for his general acquaintance with every innocent pursuit in which ac- tivity of body as well as mind are needed, and in matters of bygone interest his memory, till very lately, was a faithful record, not only of the career of every cricketer from the days of Small to the time of Fuller Pilch, including Messrs Ladbroke, Ward, Brand, Osbaldeston, Rudd, aud Lord F. Beauclerc, and by each of whom, his skill as a player, as well as ability for the duties of an umpire, were as highly appre- ciated as they were by his equals and cotemporaries Messrs Beldame, Froward, Ashley, Ridgeley, Broadbrige, aud others, who ever paid the highest respect to his great attention to the game as an umpire, in which capacity his unflinching integrity was conspicuous. In the higher pursuits, as that of music and the drama, he was by no means deficient, being himself a good player on the flute, and having been on terms of intimacy with many of the first performers and musicians of his day. Through his early patron, Mr Lee, he had the entrte to the opera, as well as through other sources to the greater theatres during the time of Mrs Siddons and other eminent tragedians, upon whose professional qualifications he could enlarge with some share of critical taste. As regards his fame as a successful cricketer, he may have been considered at the very top of the tree in every part of the game, though according to the cricket annals, compiled by himself, his name does not figure so con- spicuously as many others, owing to the fact of at least twenty of the best years of his life being employed as umpire in all the many and hard matches. This gave him ail opportunity of seeing most of the seats of the English nobility, and particu- larly Hatfield, Goodwood, and Lord Winchelsea's, and many others, whose owners were not only too glad to secure his services as umpire, but to consult him in all critical points that might occur in the match, and to treat him in every respect as one eminently qualified to make improvements in the game, and to whose judgment we are at present very much indebted for the simple aud clear form of rules, which can scarcely be mistaken by the beginner, or evaded by the more practised player. In taking leave of the subject of our me- moir, and whilst wishing peace to his manes, he may be con- sidered as the last of that school who, either as patrons such a3 the nobles and gentry above mentioned, or as the athletes ( among whom the name of that most wonderful man and great friend of Bentley's, poor Pluck Robinson, has been long so celebrated for personal strength, high courage, and simplicity of character, as to be now a constant therce of admiration in each of those respects among the villagers bordering on Alder- shott) who now and then, in some mixed match, such as Surrey Jhea as aow against AU England, or Hertfordshire, so strength- PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. ASTON CROSS GROUNDS, BIRMINGHAM.— These grounds, on Monday last, presented an appearance ef days gone by, when pedestrianism wore a different aspect to wkat it has done of late, when men who iutended to do right did not lack backers. Confidence of late has been a good deal shaken by the conduct of certain pedestrians, who iu the end will find that honesty after all is the best policy for them to pursue. The mile match on Monday between the Warwickshire Antelope Manks ( the Veteran) and Young Hill ( the Nailor) of the Lye Waste, for £ 20 a side, we are happy to state, gave evidence, from the large at- tendance on the grounds, nol only of the Birmingham patrons of pedestrianism, hut aho numbers from the districts around, that great confidence was felt by the hackers of the men, that they were certain each would do his best to win. The men bettei the gate money on the event, which amounted to a good sum. They had been carefully trained for tho event, and on stripping at scratch each looked well. Manks fer his age ( 40 years) was as fine as a star. Hill was also ia excellent trim, not an ounce of superfluous flesh about him. The merits of the men are well known, and have been duly recorded. Hill was the favourite at 5 and 6 to 4 at which odds a great deal of money was laid out. After the necessary preliminaries had been adjusted, they appeared at scratch, and got off in excellent style, Hill having a full yard start. At the first lap round ( eight laps for the mile), he was leading by four yards, aud continued to keep the lead with about the same distanee up to the sixth lap, when Manks gained upon him, and they were for a few yards abreast of each other; Hill, however, spurted forward and again went ahead, Manks straining and doing all that man could do to get the lead, but it was useless. Youth, having the advantage ov> r age ( Hill is only 24 years of age), carried off the victory, Hill running in a winner by two yards. It was one of the best races seen on these grounds for a long time past. Great credit is due to the proprietor for the graunds being well kept. Manks ap- peared at coming in greatly distressed. Time, 5min 2sec. Hill received tha stakes the same evening from Mr Watson, the stake- holder. So muoh were the backers of Manks satisfied that he did his best to win that they have again backed him, and a fresh match is made with Hill to run the same distance, for JS20 a side and share the gate. money, to come off at Astou Cross Grounds, on the 2d of November. £ 2 a side is down in tke hands of the stakeholder, Mr Watson, of the Bell Inn, Dale End, who is also appointed referee. A further deposit, making it £ 5 a side, must be made to- morrow ( Monday) to tke stake- holder. \ BOULTON PHILLIPS AND THB AMATBUR.— This match of 110 yards, for £ 20 a side, came off on Friday se'nnight, the 9th inst, at the Trees, Knowle, Warwickshire. The morning was any- thing but favourable for pedestrianism, but fortunately it ceased raining before the time appointed for the meet, and a pretty considerable number of the right sort were at the place to wit- ness the event. The men had a few weeks before contended to- gether, when, after a well- contested race, Phillips was the win- ner by a yard. The backers of the Amateur felt confident that he was still able to win, and therefore again backed him, and each went into close training. Phillips, however, in his training, had hurt himself, and gained time for a delay of three weeks, giving a douceur for the postponement to the Amateur. On Friday, the 9th, however, they met, each looking in first- rate trim; Phillips was the favourite at 5 aud 6 to 4, readily taken to some amount by the Amateur's friends. Mr Price, the stake- holder, was the referee. The men got promptly to scratch, and after a number of attempts Phillips went away with a yard start. The Amateur went over the score a yard, but immedi- ately returned to scratch, Phillips going the distance, and his backers claimed the stakes. The referee on asking for the starter, found that no one had been appointed to that office. The friends of the Amateur stating there was no fair start, Phillips's friends stating, there was, a noisy discussion ensued, the referee declared under the conflicting testimony that the men must run again. He therefore ordered them to the scratch. After a little delay, all being ready, they& ot away level. At two- score the Amateur was leading by one and a half yard, but Phillips gradually gained upon him, and at four- score they were close together, each running at the top of their speed; the Amateur, however, ran in a winner, according to the referee's decision, by half a yard. Many parties, we hear, are dissatisfied with the affair, and declare it was an understood affair. This is denied by the men, and the referee has paid over the stakes to the winner, although we hear there are parties who hold bets refuse to give them UD. CURLY HARRISON AND J. HIMER.— The match of 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, between these men, which stood to come off at Aston Cross, on the 10th, did not take place, Himer having hurt himself in training; under these circumstances Harrison con- sented to a draw, he receiving £ 1 so to do. AY GRS AND ADAMS.— These men were to have run their six- score yards match, for £ 10 a side, at Shelfield Common, near Walsall, on Monday; Mr Burns of Dariaston appointed referee. It appears from various statements made by parties, that it was asserted that the affair was not " square," and that it was de- termined that the men should not run, violent threats being used to Adams if he made his appearance on the gi- ound; finding it to be of no use they retired. We hear the men run to- mor- row at Aston Cross Grounds, between two and three o'clock. YOUNG WHEELER OP BIRMINGHAM AND CAUSBR OP BILSTON. — These men are matched to ruu eight score yards, for £ 15 a side, to come off near the Plough, at Minworth, on Monday, Nov 16, to start by mutual consent; if no start in twenty minutes, the referee then to appaint a person to pull the handkerchief, the men going by the first pull. .

SATURDAY, OCT 10.— The spirited proprietor of these grounds, so far as handicap racing is concerned, appears deter- mined to keep the " ball moving," and the number of pedes- trians who enter for the events to be here decided affords suffi- cient proof that the sport is deservedly popular amongst them. This afternoon the heats for the Great All England Handicap commenced. Distance 400 yards, first prize £ 12, second £ 2, third £ 1. Out of a very numerous list of competitors 43 ac- cepted, and the men were divided into 10 lots, four being re- spectively in seven of the heats, and five in each of the other three. There were upwards of 1,000 spectators present, and Mr Haves ( the owner of the ground) filled the office of referee. Prior to the commencement of the sport, Mr Hayes addressed the pedestrians, urging upon them the necessity of acting fairly towards each other, and also expressed his determination, should any interruption be caused or foul play resorted to, ft. should disqualify the parties so offending. Shortly after four^ o'clock the bell rang for the first heat, and the sport came off as follows :— Lot 1: J. Brierley < Whitefield) 80 yards start, 1; W. Constable ( Willenhall) 86, 3; J.

It was evident on the part of the backers of the oombatants that they all wished it should be a fair and manly fight, decided on its merits, and it appeared as though they had by some means contrived to infuse this manly and proper spirit into the mind of Bos Tyler, who throughout the contest con ducted himself iu a manner that entitles him to great credit The " star" of the Bast has hitherto been noted for his tumble* down tactics, a system, as we have before said, in all respects completely opposed to the spirit of fair fighting and the rules of the Ring. Tyler's style of fighting being well known it was imagined that he would in this encounter resort to the same reprehensible tactics, but in this the patrons of the sport were agreeably surprised, for no man could have fought in a INDIAN RELIEF FUND.— In order to keep pace with the cha- ritable intentions of the pugilists of England, it has bee' 1 Pro- posed that the pedestrians should have an extraordinary neia day and gathering of all the first- rate men, and that tb ® Pr°- oeeds of the entrance money should be given entirely ™ ?" 8 fund now being raised to relieve the wants of our su'I6rln5 countrymen in India. There is not a doubt that this p1 tion will meet with general approval, and the want of » ciently commodious ground seems to be the only obstacle* 10 lls being efficiently carried out. For so laudable a purpose we not doubt that Mr Dark might be induced so place 8 Cricket Ground at the service of the pedestrians on receiV'lllR * sufficient guarantee that all should be carried out decently ana in order.

This is unquestionably a move in the right direction, and surely it must be much more satisfactory, both to Tyler and his friends, to know that he has obtained this victory in a way that must gain for him the good opinion of every sincere admirer of the Ring. Tyler has figured five times within the " magic circle," having fought Jack Keefe twice, Baldoek, Robinson, and John Hazeltine, his last contest prior to the one we are about to record being with the last- mentioned of these men, whom he had the satisfaction of defeat- ing. This contest came off on the 10th of April in the present year. Topper Brown, who is a native of Leicester, was born in 1830. His first battle recorded in the pages of Fistiana was with Hannigan, for £ 25 a side, which, after twenty- seven rounds, terminated in a draw, the Leicester party unquestionably baicg in this instance very unfairly treated by the " Talents," by whom the ring was broken in, when their man had not the re- motest chance of winning. His second appearance was with Jack Keefe, whom Brown placed hors de combat in double quick time, this contest only occupying fifteen minutes, during which six rounds were fought. The result of this encounter was the means of greatly enhancing the opinion entertained of Master Topper by liis Leicester friends. His last appearance prior to the present affair was with the scientific Edwards, ofChelten ham, for £ 100 a side, to whom he had to strike his flag, after a protracted contest, at Mildenhall, on the 7th of August, 1855. in weight the combatants were confined to 9st 10lb, and on Monday the ceremony of weighing took place at Harry Brun- ton's, the George and Dragon, Whitecross- street, Smithfield, when both were found to be within the restricted mark. This meeting was numerously attended, and much betting ensued, so great being the confidence of the admirers of Brown, that they made him a decided favourite at 5 and 6 to 4. The start took plaoe frotn the Feachurch- street station for Tilbury, where the Ben Bolt was found in waiting to convey the belligerents and their friends to the intended scene of action. The weather was all that could be desired, and, after a pk& sant voyage a debarkation was effectedL Fred Oliver acted as commissary, and soon got the ring arrange- ments completed. Brown was the first to enter the arena, and there was a long interval allowed to elapse before Bos became visible, bvst the moment be came up to the ring side he was Hailed with enthusiastic applause, his partisans being, as may be magined, by far tbe most numerous. Both men were in superb xmdition, but in height, & e, Tyler had considerable advantage, jeing unquestionably a very big man of his weight and inches. Bos had for his seconds Bill Hayes and Harry Brunton ; while Mickey Bent of Leicester and George Brown did the requisite for Topper. Some difficulty was experienced iu the selection of a referee, but this functionary having been at length chosen, the jombatants received tbe finishing touch from their seconds, and by half- past three o'clock were iu readiness to commence THE FIGHT. Round 1. On tbe comba- t. ants being left to themselves they at once assumed the defensive. Bos put himself into a very artistic position, and, with his one only good " lamp" looking remarkably bright, he stood smiling at hds opponent. The attitude of Brown was not so well studied. After surveying each other intently, they commenced manoeuvring for an opening; Tyier, however, being cautious, retreated, when Brown got too close to be pleasant. At length Topper let go the lef't, but was not within distance. As Tyler brolie ground he followed him up, and the exchanges were very heavy. In the rally they fought to a close, when Bos, who was much th>; better wrestler, sent his opponent to grass with a heavy back fall. On the termination of this round blood was claimed for both, the first appeal being made by Bos's seconds, and though we could not on looking perceive it, still we were informed that Tyler, like his antagonist, had had his claret slightly drawn. 2. Brown, who appeared to be weak on his pins, in attempting to lunge out, missed, and went down without a blow being struck; he, however, on the instant recovered his equilibrium, and as the appeal of foul was not admitted, the round was re- newed, and terminated in Topper, after some heavy exchanges, going to grass. 3. In the exchanges, Brown administered a " topper" on the ribs, and then went down to avoid the close. 4. Bos had no sooner been met by his antagonist than he opened fire, doing considerable execution on the dial, the left and right being delivered in very effective style. Brown's returns were not given with precision ; indeed, his want of scientific skill was quite surprising. In a brisk rally, in which Bos forced the fighting, they closed, when Tyier gave his man the back heel, threw him with considerable force, and fell on him. 5. Clipping deliveries on the part of Tyler, who on forcing his man back to the ropes, closed, and in a very dexterous manner put on the " hug." Brown's position was very critical, for the Eastender had got him at a dead lock, from which it appeared impossible for him to extricate himself. The excitement ia Topper's corner was tremendous, but after a desperate struggle he succeeded in breaking from his man's warm embrace, and got down. 6. [ Time ! Time !] Bos at the scratch, waiting for his oppo- nent, who, on'coming up, showed that he had by no means recovered from the effects of the last bout. Tyler home, iu rapid succession, with the left and right. A close, and both down. 7. Exchanges in favour of Tyler, when Brown in retreating again went down, his right leg^ which he had broken in his childhood, appearing to bend completelyunder him. 8. Bos, with the left, planted a tell tale on the dial, and got cleverly away. Brown, who appeared to have somewhat reco- vered, followed up and lunged out in an awkward style, missed and fell upon his knees iu the centre of the ring. 9. Bos, in leading, administered a fine dose on the head, but in return napped it heavily from his antagonist, who delivered the right full on the body. In a rally the men fought in a quick and rapid manner, when Tyler, on getting near the ropes in his opponent's corner, slipped and went down grinning. 10. In the ceunter- hitting Tyler was very effective with the left on the knowledge box. Brown also got home on the head, but not with severity. Bos forced the fighting to a close, and in the struggle again partly succeeded in putting on the dan- gerous hug, when Topper broke from bis antagonist and went down. 11. Bos, impatient to commence, went and fought his man in his own corner, when Brown, after receiving a left- hander, and returning the compliment slighty, went down, again displaying much weakness. 12. Heavy exchanges. Tyler delivering his ever- ready left full an the nob, while Brown got home some rib- warmers with the right. Iu a rally the combatants closed, when Topper was thrown another heavy back fall. 13. After some little manoeuvring the men exchanged slightly, and closed, and in the struggle both went down in the middle of the ring, Brown being the first to salute mother earth. 14. Tyler, after feinting for an opening, dashed out the left full on the phiz, and again repeated the dose without a return. As Bos retreated, Brown followed, until they closed, when, after some quick half- arm fighting, all in favour of the Eastender, they went down together. 15. After some pretty exchanges, the combatants in a rally fought to a close, when Brown was again thrown in the centre of the ring, Bos falling on him. 16. Tyler, in onening the ball, again planted a fine one two in the middle of the kead^ fend got awiy in clever style! On again getting to within distance the men fought in a'spirited manner to the ropes, when Bos, after delivering a neat upper- cut, closed, and, as a finish, both went down. 17. Bos forced the fighting, when Brown went down on his knees in the centre of the ring; and, while in this position, he was unquestionably hit on the head by his opponent. An ap- peal of " foul" was instantly made, but was not allowed. 18. A bustling rally, a close, and both down, the fall being of a very harmless description. 19. Brown, ia the exchanges, administered a flush hit full on Bos's good peeper, which immediately produced the " ruby;" and, as Tyler dashed in to force the fighting, he slipped and went down. 20. Slight exchanges, when Brown, in shifting from his an- tagonist, again went down in a somewhat questionable manner. 21. Tyler, in leading, planted the left full on the nob, and got cleverly away. After some little manoeuvring, they again set to work, when in a spirited rally they closed. In the struggle Bos tried again to put on the hug, but Brown broke from him, and went down. • 22. Bos got well on with the left, when Topper, after return- ing the compliment, went down to avoid the close. 23. In a sharp rally the combatants fought to a close, when - • Brown broke from his opponent, and went down ou both knees. 24. Bos met his man, and fought him in his own corner. Brown, after receiving a good dose of punishment, went down. 25. Tyler, who came up bleeding from the cut over his good lamp, at once forced the fighting, and in theclose both wentdown. 26. The Eastender with the left administered in a very effective style on the nob, and then closed, Brown being thrown with great force. 27. A quick and harmless bout, which terminated in Topper falling, after the slightest of all possible exchanges, 28. Topper, who appeared now to be suffering greatly from physical prostration, led off slightly, and then fell close to the ropes. 29. Topper hit out wildly with the left, without doing any execution, and before Tyler could acknowledge the intended compliment he slipped down. Another appeal of " foul" was made on the part of Tyler, which was not admitted. 30. Good left- handed counters in favour of Tyler. In a rallv they fought to the ropes, when Brown went down to avoid the close, and while on both kuees he was hit by his antagonist, and the referee was again called upon for his decision, when the combatants were told to " fight on." 31. Tyler home with both mawleys on the nob, and iu a rally they fought to the ropes, when Topper finished by going down. 32. After some heavy exchanges they broke ground, but on again coming to within distance they once more went to work, the hitting being all in favour of Bos, when Brown slipped down. 33. Tyler gave his antagonist one, two, with the left, and Top- per slipped, and fell. 34. This was exceedingly harmless, for Topper, after making a well intended lunge at his opponent, slipped, and fell. 35. The slightest of alLpossible exchanges, and Brown down. 36. Bos at once went to work, and after putting in a pretty one, two, on the dial, he retreated. Brown attempted to fol- low, but in so doing he slipped and went to grass. 37. Tyler came gaily up from his corner, but had to wait for his opponent, who was particularly slow. In beginning the attack Bos planted a stinger 011 the cheek with the left, and again followed this up with one from the right. Brown in countering, got home slightly on the body, and then went down. 38. In the exchange both men got home heavily on the nob, when Brown, in breaking ground, lost his equilibrium, and went down. 39. Tyler gave the left and right with good effect on the nob, these hits being delivered with fine precision. Brown, in the counter- hitting, returned slightly, and then went to grass. 40. Dick Cain, thinking his man had got not the ghost of a chance, went to the earner for the purpose of throwing up the sponge, but Topper was by no means willing to cry " Hold, enough," therefore the oontest was allowed to progress. In leading Tyler aeain administered heavily on the nob, when Brown countered on Tyler's good peeper, and Bos went to grass. 41. On coming up Tyler showed that there had been no harm done. He went and fought his opponent in a very quick and effective style with both mawleys, and the round finished by Topper going down to avoid the close. In addition to the above ten more rounds were fought, but it would be quite superfluous to record them, as they would pre- sent no new feature in tbe contest. Tyler did just what he liked with his opponent, who repeatedly went down in a very questionable manner. In the 51st and last round Topper fell without a blow being exchanged, when the referee at once pro- nounced Tyler tb be the winner. REMARKS. Having gone at some length into^ he details of the contest we shall be but brief in our comments. Bos Tyler fought the battle in a fair and manly style ; his tactics were those of a scientific manly operator, and it was quite a treat to find that this man could fight differently to tnat contemptible system that has been the means of hitherto tarnishing his reputation as boxer. Qihat he is a quick and rapid hitter, and good wrestler, there can be no disputing. Bos in his manoeuvring displays considerable agility, and is ever ready to extricate himself when in difficulties. In giving him credit for the manner in which he fought and won this con- test, we are simply doing him an act of justice. Tyler has many admirers among " my peoplesh," and great was the joy in the " Lane" when the intelligence reached the metro- polis that he had obtained the victory. Topper Brown greatly surprised his friends, for no novice could have fought with less judgment than he did from first to last, while the man- ner in which he kept going down was never expected from him. He in no way throughout the contest realised the expectations of his friends, and we think there can be no doubt that this will be the last time that he will ever figure within the ropes, for nearly all his physical power appears to have left him, as, notwithstanding the excellence of his condition, he appeared from almost the commencement of the contest to be very weak. It is certain that all the " steel" is out of him, and the present contest ought to be the close of his milling career. The battle being over, all once more got on board the Ben Bolt, which conveyed them to Gravesena in oomfortable time. The money is to be given up at Harry Brunton's, George and Dragon, Beech- street, Barbican, ou Thursday next. We are re- quested to state that Mr Moore acted as caterer, with credit and satisfaction. THE LATE FIGHT BETWEEN BEN CAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM. The following letter from a well- known amateur has just reached our hands. It'is the most straightforward, practical one we have yet seen upon the subject, and we need not say that with its sentiments we cordially agree, and we call upon all persons elected as seconds, umpires, and referees, to study its contents and make themselves well acquainted therewith, and more espe- cially let it be borne in mind by the seconds, that it is not their duty to appeal to the referee, but that task must be left to the um- pires, who should watch the progress of the battle carefully, and if they cannot agree as to accident or intention, should at once ap- peal to the referee, who should give his decision promptly and with out hesitation. The rule as to the punishment of seconds for infringing the laws has not been found to act justly on all occa- sions, ana requires some emendation, which it will no doubt re- ceive early in the ensiling year, when those gentlemen patrons of the P. R. connected with the association will be in town and able to attend to the matter. Meanwhile it only remains for us to urge upon appointed authorities at future fights to do their duty without favour or affection• " ME EBITOE : The late reprehensible fight between Ben Caunt and Nat Langham will, I trust, arouse the dormant energies of the true supporters of the Priae Ring to a proper sense of duty. The dropping sytem has been so long the fashion that it has become almost an established rule in the Ring toavoid your opponent by lying down instead of fighting him— in fact so much has it been the practice hitherto that comparatively few non- professionals, I really believe, are aware that it is unfair to go down wilfully, even although blows have been exchanged. The end of almost every round, now- a- days, terminates in some such phrase as ' downcleverly," down to avoid,' ' dropped,' ' slipped down,' Ac, & c, in fact down any way but the legitimately fair or manly one. He who shuns his man in this style, and spins out his fight for hours, is looked upon as quite a nonpareil of tbe present time, a man to be copied. I carefully read your admirable account of the fight and gladly turned the page, with a feeling of intense disgust at the state of the Prize Ring, and a very very sorrowful feeling as to what will be its fate. It has certainly sunk to a very low condition, when such proceedings as you have chronicled with so much care are permitted. In your remarks yeu state that* Caunt disdained to avail himself of repeated opportunities which many persons would unscrupulously have adopted of falling upon an opponent when he dropped in the not very manly manner that Nat on many occasions certainly did ;' and again regarding Mr Nat s— ' That he went down on many occasions in a suspicious manner cannot be denied, and that this occurred on some few occasions when he was not in danger is equally true— but he almost in variably kept just within the pale of tho law.' ( Almost, I think, shows that he was sometimes out.) What law, sir? This is the first time I ever heard of the existence of a law that allows man to go down when he is not is danger without losing thefight, ¥ et one more quotation. Still speaking of Mr Langham:—' But still he persevered in the practice much too^ constantly to admit of our stating that it was a fair stand- up fight on his part, This, sir, is quite enough to show that Nat fought foully, and Ben manfully and fairly— not dropping, hugging, squeezing, on the ropes, nor falling on his man— but only just as a brave man should fight and wia— as by your own showing ( as above) he did win the £ ght, and consequently should have received the stakes as the reward of his true British honour, pluck, and manly conduct ; fesat no, he has not got the stakes, neither will he get them ; his usu& i luck stands iu the way. Ben Caunt from the first to this, thelast— I trust— ef his career in the ring, has aertainly been one of the most undeservedly ill- used men that ever stepped into the PRIZS Ring; his . antagonists have been al- lowed to break through all the rules of fighting, and if they did not get the sta, kes into the bargain, they at least got it made 1 draw. Why this should ever have been is impossible to under stand. Surely it is not because iie is a big£ 0an ? Big men before his day, and with worse rules, have had fak play, and that be lias as much pluck and good temper as any one ever had, is equally true. Can it be in consequence of his being ® manly, fair stand, up boxer, having too much honour to go dowa without a blew- Surely not. Or can it be that his opponents have been afraid to staad up and fight him fairly, and consequently resorted to the lie down game, to save their precious hides as well as their backers' money— wishing to have the coin but not the cuffs ? If they had neither the strength nor the skill to fight him fairly, why enter the ritig with him ? A stop mnst now be put to the lie down trick, the manly boxer must no longer be ' planted upon' in this cowardly way. These tumble- down gentry must leave the Ring. They should join some troop of' British Bedouius,' don the ochred cotton tights, the span- gled braces, and fillet of blackened silver sord, and come out as professors of acrobatism, leaving pugilists and the P. R. to the manly boxer who never learned to lie down before' an antagonist. But, sir, the little game the seconds also play . uow must be stopped. The duty of a second is very onerous, . ind one re- quiring some judgment. He must attend carefully his man in his corner, give him any necessary advice before or after, but not during, the round, sponge and wipe him properly, and send him te the scratch as clean and comfortable as possible under the circumstances ; also to watch very closely and see that he has fair play; if not, to appeal to the umpires, not to the referee. The umpires go to the referee. A man to do this well has enough on his hands, but, not content with this, some men, no doubt very good seconds, advance to the scratch sparring before or at the side of their man as if they were the principals, chaff their man's, oppo- nent as to his style of fighting, his figting attire, & c, Ac. This is all of a piece with the acrobatic performance— a part of the play, unmanly and unfair. Why is such conduct unchecked ? There is a penalty; why is it never enforced ? The rules of the Ring, sir, are I think perfectly fair; they only require to be strictly enforced. This, then, is the duty of the umpires and the referee, and unless these men know the rules, and honestly abide by them— unhesitatingly giving in against any unfairness— I fear that the poor old game, manly Ring is irrecoverably gone, unfairly licked by the ' sawdust coves.' That the Corinthian supporters of the Ring are now, sir, few and far between is not to be wendered at; the reason is obvious from what is already stated. Suppose a patron of the art, an admirer of manliness, backs a man and finds that instead of standing up and fighting manfully, hitting and getting away, fighting on the retreat, rallying with his man, or fibbing— although not quite in the ter- rific Jack Randall style— if instead of this, I say, he shoots out his arms and drops, gets into a corner and lies down merely on the approach of his antagonist, what sort of man would this patron be if he did not get disgusted with the Ring and its members ? Being a man of honour* and a lover of the old British art, he leaves the modern arena to its fate, sighs as he thinks of the bygone days of the Ring, and of the manly brace— little- uns or big- uns, it was all the same— who were so stupid as not to know when they had enough, and who never dreamt of learning to lie down. The consequence is, sir, this patron's place is soon taken possession of by others whose conscience never troubles them about honour, pluck, fairplay, or any of the other adjuncts to honesty— men whose only aim is gain, and not the welfare of the Ring. A man who lies down— and is allowed to do so— is a safe one to back. He seldom loses his backers' money— he will either ' win, tie, or wrangle'— his backers are of more consequence than his owu honour. The myself in the hands of Harry Broome only, who, I am satisfied, wiH do justice to me and my friends.— I am, sir, yours respect- fully, BILL BENJAMIN.— October 11,1857." " ME EDITOE : In your impression of last week I find an impudent hoax in an advertisement from Ben Caunt. In justice to Bill Benjamin, myself, and the public, I beg to caution the patrons of the noble art not to hand to any person except Ben- jamin or myself one shilling on behalf of my novice either di- rectly or indirectly. I am surprised at a man like Ben Caunt putting forth a public announcement of a thing, knowing at the same time that it is untrue. I wish Mr Caunt to let me and my novice alone. All we require is, a clear ring and no favour — both men well on the day— a fair stand- up fight, and the best man win.— Yours respectfully, HAEEY BEOOME.— London, October 16, 1857." BENEFIT IN AID OF THE INDIAN MUTINY FUND. We regret to state that, owing to the extraordinary fancies of a set of pantiling individuals, calling themselves " justices of the peace for Middlesex," the members of the P. B. A. will not be able to hire the Chandos- street Rooms for thu proposed benefit in aid of the fund raising for India. The « o worthies, at the instigation of the commissioners of polioe, on Friday week refused to grant a license to the rooms iu question unless the lessee guaranteed that they should not iu future be used for sparring exhibitions ! The reason for this sudden freak is, forsooth, that bad characters and pickpockets frequent such places. Can Sir Richard Mayne or any of his satellites inform us of any public place of entertainment which is not frequented by these gantry ? We guess not, and wt> do not for one moment believe that this is the sole reason for putting down these manly exhibitions. It is only the cominencement of a crusade by a set of milksops and old women ngair. st all the manly sports of their country— sports for which they never had any inclination, and in which they never could have excelled. We shall next have a stop put to single stick, wrestling, cricket, and all other manly pursuits peculiar to Englishmen, because « hey are dangerous, and shall become as helpless a race of incapables as the persons in question. We only hope they will find out their mistake before it is too late. Surely this is not the time for trying such dangerous experi- ments. The scheme of Alec Keene and Ned Adams is not yet knocked on the head. They have another plac. » ; in view, where we hope they will be able to carry out their benevolent object without the interference of King Midas or any of his long- eared brethren. Since our la6t, Tom Paddock, George Baker, Dan Collins, Fred Mason, Jack Grant, the Spiqer, Jemmy Welsh, Young Harrington, Crockett, Herbert ( the Mouse), and other good men have sent us their names as willing to set- to when the day comes.

Faulkner, who was the heavier and longer- reached man, was favourite at 5 and 6 to 4. He commenced well, getting home on his opponent's phiz and peepers, and nad tiie 0f the fighting, drawing first blood. In the teuth round Hopkins changed the aspect of affairs by planting some heavy hits on the potato trap and mouthpie„ e his friends readily took the odds offered, but Faul^ jef aga} m had, after a few rounds, the fight all his own way. -\ tkngth, at the conclusion of the 31st round, after a bustling ralW Faulkner jumped up from his second's knees, and to the smprise of his friends declared he had had sufficient, after fighting ^ minutes. Gillingham writes to us that if we send his mona, y to him he will hand over to Mr Wootton the sum to which ht is entitled.

No honourable supporter of the Ring will have any thing; to say to him. and he may starve before his late friends— Welch- men, sharpers, & c— will give him a single farthing. This letter, my dear Bell, may seem rather strong, but, sir, I feel keenly the honour of the Ring is at stake, and you must use your powerful influence to bring it to ' time' if possible. Manliness and fair play seem to have left Old England's shores, and what have we instead ? Take up any daily paper and you will see that the use of the knife reigns paramount— stabbing and murdering everywhere. Men now settle their quarrels with the knite— a stab in the dark— instead of a hearty five minutes' turn- up, shake hands, have a drain together, and better friends than ever. I call upon all true friends of the Ring to unite and drive the lie- dowu system, if possible, out of the very memories of men. Under your able guidance, my dear Bell, we must succeed, and then you may rest upon your well- earned honours, and deserve the thanks of posterity in ad- dition to that of yours, & c, " ANTI- LIB DOWN.

Mike has to encounter youth, strength, and superior height and length, coupled, it is said,' with great skill in the noble art, but all who knows | the ould one's staunchness and thorough game have great confidence in his being able to cope with such advantages, and give a good account of his man.

DEATH OP MS LAWRENCE. It is with much regret that we have to announce the death, on the 11th inst, of W. E. Lawrence, Esq, of The Green way, near Cheltenham. Mr Lawrence was one of the most popular and successful coursers in the South, and at this time his kennel is inferior to none for its blood and excellence. In him the coursing world have sustained a great loss, especially the Ash- down and Amesbury meetings. His liberality of mind, amiable disposition, gentlemanly manners, and honourable straight- forwardness endeared Mm— not only to all the brethren of the leash, but to a large circle of friends. BEGEBI2T ( NEAR WEXFORD) OPEN MEETING— OCT 8. ( Over the reclaimed lands of the Wexford Harbour Embankment Company.) Stewards : Lord Lurgan, J. Malier, P. W. Redmond, W. M. Glascott, J. Galway, G. A.

This meeting went off with great success. The stake being one of the best ever offered in Ireland, coupled with the celebrity which the Harbour Company's lands had already Obtained, brought together the cracks from all parts of the country, and the result fully justified the opinion forreed. We expected to see good coursing ground, but our hopes were far exceeded when we observed a vast tract of flat grass land thinly interspersed with stubble, while, few and far between, were dikes with earthen banks or wooden paling. The arrangements of the meeting were admirably carried out, and gave general satisfaction, and we were forcibly struck with the demeanour of the people, who in large numbers attended the meeting, and whose orderly conduct was highly creditable to themselves and their country. The hares, though small, showed remarkable stoutness, and frequently left the good- uns in the lurch; indeed most of the trials were as good as we have ever seen. BEGEBIX STAKES.— Met at the Sand Hills, whence the hares were beaten out into the flat.— First ties— Destiny and Star: After a no- go, Destiny won her course cleverly throughout: she worked beautifully, and it was never in doubt. Master Malt v Sweetbriar: Master Malt huug in the slips, his collar being en- tangled, and Sweetbriar ran up and killed before he got on terms. Puss and Sliill I Shall I: Shill I took a strong lead, but the bitch getting in, outworked him, and won her course well. Hector and Durham: Durham won throughout. Easter and Bribery: Easter had it all her own way. Minnie and Don Juan: The Don beat Minnie well; she did not seem to give her running. Lady Ardmore and Sunrise: Lady Ardmore beat him very cleverly. Madman and Justice to Ireland: His Worship showed a great dash of speed, and raced away from the lunatic. Blue Bonnet and Windfall: The Blue Bonnet got over the border be- fore the Windfall could pick himself up; she beat him . well. Bravo and Misanthrope: Thrope had most speed, Bravo most bottom; a long course, won by a point and a half. Bailiff and Rio: Well won by Bailiff. Legar Hill and Tscha : A short course in favour of Legar, though at one time the bitch looked likely. Fiddle- de- dee and Black Swan: We thought the Swan was going to win, but she was well beaten in a moderate course. The Widow and Pair Alice: The Pair one ran well and won well.— Second ties— Destiny and Sweebriar: Destiny got badly out of slips, ran the line of his hare ( a semicircle), Sweetbriar taking the diameter, and thus gained first points; judge stopped at a fence, could only see the commencement; the finale was all in favour of the bitch. Puss and Durham: A hollow win. Easter and Don Juan: A very pretty course, in favour of the bitch, who won with nothing to spare. Lady Ardmore and Justice to Ire- land: Lady Ardmore was too good for Justice, and hoisted her flag accordingly. Blue Bonnet and Bravo: Blue Bonnet ran very nicely, and cleverly won his course. Legar Hill and Bai- liff : Slipped in stubble; Legar raced away from his opponent, and ran in most beautiful style, winning throughout, and finishing with a splendid kill. Piddle- de- dee and Eair Alice: Piddle won a very evenly- contested course.— Third ties— Sweetbriar and Durham: Durham led, turned, and killed. Easter and Lady Ardmore: A close thing, but we never thought her Ladyship's success doubtful, and the flag went up accordingly. Blue Bonnet and Legar Hill: Blue Bonnet drawn; Legar a bye. Fiddle- de- dee: A bye.— Fourth ties— Durham and Lady Ardmore : The hare favoured Durham, who took first turn, but for this the judge very pro- perly gave him no credit; he then went on and turned. Lady Ardmore next turn, after which Durham wrenched cleverly, and finished by a dashing kill in water. Legar and Fiddle: After a short undecided course, Fiddle was drawn. Fifth ties— Dur- and Legar Hill: For the first few yards Legar led, but Durham, who was better on his hare, persevered and took first turn, Legar the next; Durham then made some clever wrenches, and took his hare out of the field, through high paling, which he flew like a bird. The next point we could not see, but in a se- cond Durham again appeared leading and turned; Legar next took his turn, after which Durham led through the field, wrenching once, and turning the hare outside it, on to a rough bank or head of a fence. On this the judge thought Legar gave two go- byes— we could not see them. The hare then took the hill side, Durham leading strong to the top, where he turned, Legar running first down the hill and into gorse, where I be- lieve he killed, but I could not see it. It was a beautifully con- tested and severe course, and until the judge's fiat the feeling on the field was that Durham had won, and the layers against him were counting their losses. In the Consolation Stakes the running of Master Mat and Tscha most took our fancy, and but for the severe punishment the bitch had undergone, we are by nomeans sure that the result would not have been altered; as it was, Master Mat won with nothing to spare. The style of Blue Bonnet in the stakes was much admired, and indeed amongst so many good greyhounds there were none who had not many a staunch supporter. THE LATE BIGGAE MEETING.— Sunbeam, the winner of the Douglas Cup, was returned as got by Bedlamite instead of Mr Jefferson's John Bull. Tam o' Shanter, who ran up to Sunbeam, is an English bred dog— though hailing from Dumfries— being by Dangerous Weapon out of Poulton le Fylde, by Sir Oliver. The Newcastle, Northumberland, and Durham Open Puppy Stakes will be kept open until the time of drawing. There are at present 25 nominations, TREDEGAR PARK CLUB MEETING— OCX 13 AIN> 14.

On Tuesday last the first meet of the Tredegar Park Club took place in the grounds of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart. The club has been formed by the zealous co operation of some of the principal gentry in the county, and is likely to occupy an excel- lent position. The sport was continued throughout two days, with, on the whole, very fair success. In consequence of the mildness of the season some difficulty was experioaced in start- ing the game; but, notwithstanding this drawback, some capital trials were the result, to the satisfaction of not less than four hundred spectators. Another meeting is to be held in the spring, wliieh is expected to be attended with even greater suc- cess, Sir C. Morgan having kindly consented to allow the use of his lands. Mr J. Lewis Lloyd, of Newport, has been ap- pointed secretary. A large party partook of luncheon at the old ancestral hall of the worthy baronet, aad the Twenty Guinea Cup, added by Sir C. Morgan to the Tredegar Stakes, was handed over to Mr llacster, of Hereford, who also carried away the Ruperra Stakes. At the conclusion of the first day's sport, a dinner was held at the King's Head Hotel, Newport, of whicn a good number partook; Sir C. Morgan, chairman, T. LI. Brewer, Esq, vice. The TBEDEUAR PARK STAKES of £ 5 5s each, with a Cup added by Sir C. Morgan, Bart, for all ages; the winner £ 25 and Cup, second £ 10. third and fourth £ 3 10s each.

[ FBOM ANOTHEE CORRESPONDENT.] The first meeting of this newly formed olub took place on Tuesday last, the " meet" at ten a. m., at Tredegar Park— one of " the stately homes of England"— the residenee of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart. Monmouthshire and South Wales are not coursing countries in the general acceptation of the term when compared with Lancashire and Wiltshire; but we shall be greatly disappointed if in a very short time the Tredegar Park Meeting does not rank among the first meetings in enclosed countries, for the following reasons The worthy and respected proprietor of the soil, if we may judge from appearances, en- tered into the sport with a spirit and determination that was the wonder and remark of all— walkisg with the beaters all day, and marshalling their movements; and, lastly, added to the Tredegar Park Stakes a very valuable cup. This cup is a massive and richly embossed tankard, and bears the following inscription:— " Presented by Sir Charles Morgan to the Tredegar Park Coursing Club, October, 1857." He also presided over a large muster of the club at the sumptuous dinner provided by Mr Lloyd, at the King's Head Inn, Newport; and, if further proof were wanting of his interest in the club, he has. promised to add another cup in March. At Tredegar there are all the elements to make a first- rate meeting— hares are in great abundance, and enclosures, particularly above the road, very large. The meeting this year was not so successful as was expected, owing to the great abundance and length of grass rendering the sitting too wet and heavy for the hares, and in many instances the dogs got unsighted from this causa alone. The management of the meeting reflects great credit upon the stewards, and this meeting must be considered a preliminary one. The keepers and beaters are all young at the business; but if the unanimity continues tfeat was so conspicuous on Tuesday, nothing need be feared for the result and success of the meeting. Before concluding, we must mention the admirable conduct of the great crowd of spectators. Coming as they did from the smoky, dingy, and densely populated manufacturing districts of the immediate neighbourhood, their faces beaming with delight and enthusiasm, seemed to say— " Oh let me in the country range, ' lis there we breathe, ' tis there we live. The beauteous scene © f aged mountains, Smiling valleys, murmuring fountains, Lambs in flowery pastures bleating, Echo our delights repeating, Bees with busy sounds delighting, Groves to gentle sleep inviting, Whisp'ring winds the poplars courting, Swains in rustic circles sporting. Birds in cheerful notes expressing Nature's bounty and their blessing; These afford a lasting pleasure, Without guilt and without measure." We heard several remark they never saw so well conducted a concourse of spectators at a coursing meeting; may they long enjoy the privilege! The first dogs in the slips for the Tredegar Park Stakes were Mother Redcap and Wallace. The owner of the bitch expressed great confidence in her powers. After a no- go she led to the hare, and very determinedly tried to kill; being disappointed, she as deliberately pricked her ears, and let Wallace do the remainder of the work and make a good kill. Big Lunatic — whom we consider one of thegfastest dogs in England to his hare — after one undecided course outpaced Red Flag, and killed iu the midst of the crowd. Peter, iu a short course, disposedof Blink Bonny. The ground suiting Hopbine, she ran in her old form, very fast and smooth, never giving Roswall a chance. In the Ruperra Castle Stakes Counsellor ran away from Madge Wildfire, and made a magnificent kill. Brawler, in splendid condition, outpaced and outworked Brychan, whose condition was very bad, but is other hands may see a better day. With such magnificent animals as Big Lunatic, Brawl, and Brawler, and so promising a lot of puppies, why does Mr Brewer contem- plate giving up ? Hasty Conclusion in a short course damped Mr Grant's Powder. Raglan beat Sandy.— Second ties: The only courses that require any comment are the following:— Wallace and Big Lunatic: After leaving the slips Big Lunatic unfortunately became unsighted, and did not recover it in suffi- cient time to wipe off the points made against him. The course of the meeting, the hare being a regular racer, was that between Hasty Conclusion and Raglan; the bitch showed immense pace and cleverness, and won an almost single- handed courte in fine style. Hopbine and Wallace: In the de- ciding course ( on a beautiful field of turf), the bitch, though very lame, led to her hare by many lengths, and, though not turning so quickly as in her former courses, won a trial of average length by a clever kill, and had lots to spare. Hasty Conclusion and Bromley: First undecided course, a splendid course, in which both showed great speed and good working powers; second a fine run up, red getting first turn by the hare favouring her a little, after which she made several quick wrenches, and ended with a clever kill. Sir Charles presented the cup to Messrs Racster and Haywood, at the luncheon in the spacious hall at Tredegar House, and the Herefordshire men departed not a little proud. E. R.

The first morning was ushered in by torrents of rain, and it con- tinued showery during the whole day, making the hares wild, the running unsatisfactory, and damping the ardour of the most enthusiastic. The only regret existing after the conclusion of the meeting was having run so far through it in such weather, and partly on indifferent ground, as on Saturday everything combined to make as good a day's sport as could possibly be en- joyed. The running ground itself was the theme of general ad- miration, consisting of a piece of table land on the level of the river Tweed, in large enclosures, the fences extending outwards for about half a mile, where the ground rises abruptly about fifty feet or so to a higher level, thus forming a natural amphi- theatre, and affording spectators a full view. The hares also were plentiful and strong. Perhaps no club in Britain enjoys the privilege of coursing over finer land, and they cannot feel too grateful to his Grace the Duke of Roxburghe and his Sprouston tenantry for a favour granted annually so frankly and ungrudgingly. Thirty- four puppies stood out of forty- nine in the St Leger, the most attractive stake at this meeting, and among them were some as fine specimens of the greyhound as could be produced. The winner, Souvenir, after her first course on the second day, broke away on being taken up, after a fresh hare, with her collar and strap, and ran a tremendous single- handed course; notwithstanding which she afterwards cut down all her opponents cleverly. Her run- ning was fast, close, and full of fire, and in almost every in- stanoe she made a short course by a kill of great merit. She does her spirited ownsr great. credit, both for his judgment in the cross and her splendid condition, and bids fair to rival the reputation of her dam, the celebrated Grisette. Mr Boulton's decisions seemed to give every satisfaction. ARDROSSAN CLUB MEETING—' OCT 15 & 16. Patron: The Earl of Eglinton and Wintou, K. T. President: C. D. Gairdner, Esq.

This celebrated sportsman breathed his last at Berkeley Castl on Saturday week. His illness was occasioned by a severe fal from his horse while hunting last February, and for severa months he lay in an almost Saopeless state, and was priucipall- sustained by ass's milk, His lordship was born in 1786 ; had hi' first day's sport as a master of hounds in Newent Woods in th autumn of 1808, and has ever since hunted the Berkeley, Broad way, and Cheltenham countries. In fact, with the exception o Mr Farquharson, he was, we believe, the oldest living master o hounds. Both in 1826 and 1852 he was presented by his hun with handsome testimonials of plate, and stated in his speech o: the latter occasion that his devotion to fox- hunting had sprun in the first instance from a careful perusal of Somerville's poen of " The Chase." Harry Ayr is joined him in 1826 as secom whip, and was promoted to his present place of huntsman ii 1831. Both in hounds and horses his lordship's establishmen has long been second to none in the kingdom. Blood Royal wa the hunter in whom he most delighted, and of late years Th Parmer has been the one who cama nearest to ; hat paragon o excellence in his estimation. His lordship was never married and his brother, Admiral Berkeley, born in 1788, succeeds to th< title. We believe there is no dcubt that the hounds will b- kept on as usual at Berkeley Castle. In September, 1831, h was one of the batch of peers created by the Government o; Earl Grey. His title was that of Baron Segrave. In the fol lowing year, when the Reform Bill had been made a part of the constitution, be saw four of his brothers returned to the HOUSE of Commons, one for the western division of Gloucestershire, one for Bristol, one for the city of Gloucester, and one for thf newly- made borough of Cheltenham. This political influence was not lost on the Ministers of the day. In December, 1835, Lord Segrave was mads lord lieutenant of the county, on the death of the then Duke of Beaufort; and in 1841 he was created Earl Fitzhardinge, thus attaining the same rank and county influence that his father possessed at the time of his death. Of the latter years of the earl's life there is little of general interest to record. He did his duty in his public offices, as a landlord, and as the chief prop of his political party in the county of Gloucester, as well as most men could, and tie encountered only an average amount of party opposition. THE DOESET B. V. HARRIERS. MB EDITOE : The Blackmoor Vale Harriers commenced their fifty- first season on the 31st of August, and in spite of little less than African heat ( working also upon ground baked up to the hardness of Egyptian bricks), have had a series of most remark- able runs, considering the early period of the season; a few of ' the most recent being worth perhaps your notice. TUESDAY, OCT 6.— The B. V. H. met for the first timo this season on the Dorset Downs, twelve miles south of their kennel, where a good field was assembled to greet them. They found No. 1 close to the village of Chesilborne, and went away direct to ! Chesilborne Common Field, and on to Chebbard, and forward to I Druce Furzes, and away to Bourne, and over Druce Knoll, and I nearly to Piddletown; making a sweep down the Eweleaves, pointing for Admiston, and runnisg into their hare in the open in 45 minutes, right away, and without a turn ! As the heat was intense, a short pause was permitted ; and the pack was indulged for a few minutes with a cold bath, after which they found their second hare, and went away over Chesilborne Down to Melcombe, and on to the Dells of Chesilborne, killing their hare iu a very severe burst ( at a pace, indeed, which has never been surpassed) without swerving from the line direct. As the ground was still hard, and the flints were sparkling in the sun, they were walked then 12 miles homeward. THUBSDAT, OCT 8.— Ten couple only of the B. V. H. were taken out this day ( a bye day), at three p. in., and killed at Old House on the Stalbridge Weston Common region in one hour andaquarter; andranfor one hourmore, and were stopped— with three hares on foot— as the curfew was sounding. SATURDAY, OCT 10.— The B. V. H. met this day in their Somersetshire country, 10 miles north of New House, near Mil- borne Port, the seat of their kind patron Sir W. W. Medlycot, Bart, where about 40 horse were assembled to greet them. The pack soon found, and killed their first hare in 40 minutes, and ran No. 2 from Pointingdon Bridge at foxhound pace, and killed in a racing 25 minutes; nearly direct, and right away. They found No. 3 on Pointingdon Down ( thanks to George Go we, Esq, of that ilk), and had a severe run of 45 minutes, forcing their hare through the parish of Pointingdon to Clutcombe, and on to Hoi way, pointing for Hoi way Coppices, a few yards short of which they killed on the spot, to the satisfaction of a very select and ardent field of sportsmen, and were takeu then 10 miles homeward. MONDAY, OCT 12.— Fifteen couple of the B. V. H. met this day on Balf Down ( it was a bye day, and the meet at three p. m.), and found an old jack hare immediately, taking at firstaline close up to Plumber, and then ( rather wide of the coppices) to Hadyn, and on at the top of their speed to Puxy Common, and over Rose Mill Brook to the verge of Sturminster Common, and away across the vale to Golden Gate- lane, and down the deep inclo- sures ta the banks of the River Stour, and through that wide river in a solid mass, and on to the region of Hinton St Mary Wood, short of which every hound closed up and killed at the end of a splendid 60 minutes, having covered a good eight miles of ground ; having thus in 14 days going out hunted 34 hares, and killed 31; earthing two, and missing but one, viz, on the 8th, when they left off with three hares on foot, as twilight was deepening into darkness.— Yours, & c, SWEETBAUCB. HUNTING AT PAU. DEAB BELL : Can any of your numerous readers and brother sportsmen inform me whether there will be a " ciiasse au re- nard" this winter at Pau ? and, if so, can he favour me with some information as to the best mode of transporting a hunter or two into that locality, with the cost of transport ? A few hints as to the nature of the food and accommodation which can be obtained for the quadrupeds on their arrival would also be very useful. There are unfortunately many o" f your readers who, like myself, are obliged on the score of health to quit the green pastures of Leicestershire for the more genial though less sporting atmosphere of the sunny south, to whom information on the above points would be very acceptable. The kindness universally evinced by your journal in the furtherance of the objects and wishes of sportsmen in general, induces me to hope you will insert this letter in your next publication.— Yours, & c, Oct 9, 1857. SHAMBOCK. CITY INTELLIGENCE. AN APPEAL IN BEHALF OF THE GROUSE. ME EDITOE ; I should like to make a few remarks through the medium of your wide spread columns on the subject of the grouse. Could not it be managed in some way or other that the grouse shooting for one year might be dropped so as to give a chance to the birds, for, as matters are at present arranged, the grouse will soon become extinct, or at all events as rare as the cock of the woods. Surely true sportsmen would give up shooting grouse for one season rather than be obliged to give it up altogether, as assuredly they will be forced to do. If this hint were taken by even one or two, I think their example would be followed by others, and, as the old saying goes, " every little helps," the birds which " the few" would abstain from killing would help to increase the number next year, however few that number might be.— Yours, & c, THE LAST OF TEE GBOUSE.

AEEIVAL OF THE COUET AT WINDSOE.— Her Majesty and the royal family left Edinburgh on Friday morning shortly before eight o'clock, and reached Islington about half- past six. Thence her Majesty travelled by the North London Railway and the loop line to Kew, and so by the South Western Railway to Windsor, MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. On Monday last the Directors of the Bank of England raised the rate of discount from 6 to 7 per cent, and, as may be imagined, it produced a considerable degree of excitement in City circles. Haviag so quickly followed the advance from 51 to 6 per cent, and being adopted on a day whea such measures are unusual, it was indicative of an exceedingly unfavourable state of affairs. The fear that the rate might be carried to 8 per cent increased the pressure, and some anxiety was manifested to ascertain the result of the Bank Directors' meeting on Thurs" day. No further measure of restriction, however, was deter- mined upon, and the market now appears rather easier. The demand has slackened, and, for the present at least, the worse appears to have been surmounted. Some large arrivals of special have taken place from Australia, which have tended to inspire confidence, because the preparations made for remittances to India and America threatened to cause a further sensible reduc- tion in our stock of the precious metals. Later accounts from America are looked forward to with some anxiety, owing to the prejudicial influence which the panic there has produced upon our commercial interests. Several failures have been re- corded, and in some instances the liabilities are considerable. The pressure for money is not confined to England only, but has extended to the Continent, where most of the banks have been compelled to raise the rate of interest. At Paris the minimum is now 6J per cent, and at Hamburg it is 9 per cent. The Bank of England return made up for the week ending the 10th inst shows the following results:— The bullion has decreased £ 552,749, the total being £ 10,109,943. The Notes unemployed were smaller by £ 581,640, and the Other Securities larger by £ 563,304, the amount standing at £ 22,398,877. The Public De- posits were increased £ 259,109, and the Other Deposits were lessened £ 335,159. The active circulation payable en demand was increased upon balance £ 42,835, the amount being £ 19,990,110. There has been considerable animation in the market for Eng- lish Stocks this week, the changes in priees having produced very great fluctuations. On Monday there was a decline of per oent audsubsequentlyincreasedsysaptomsof uneasiness wereapparent. Since then, however, therehasbeenapartialrecovery, and Consols closed yesterday afternoon at about i per cent under the quota- tions current on this day se'nnight. At first there were exten- sive speculative sales, but these have since been counteracted by purchasers, and the public are buying for investment. Four or five failures have been announced, but this cannot excite surprise when recent events are taken into consideration. The closing priees for Consols are 88i f for money and 8S| i for the account. Exchequer Bills are nominally 103 to 5s discount, and the Government broker purchases small amounts almost daily for the Commissioners of the National Debt.

Only one of the bodies has been picked up, which was identified as the chief mate, and the son of a wealthy gentleman in America. A portion of the hull and the iron are about h& lf a mile from the shore, but it is expected the cargo will be saved. FATAL ACCIDENT TEOM ETHEH.— A man, named Bennett, employed as a porter by Mr J. J. Pyne, chemist, Piccadilly, Manchester, was carrying a jar of pomade and a bottle of ether from the shop into the cellar, on Thursday evening the 1st inst. He had left a lighted candle in the passage leading into the shop, and as he returned from the shop with his load, and stooped to take up the candle, the lid of the . jar fell oif and broke the bottle, and the ether ignited. An explosion was heard in the shop, and Mr Pyne, on going to ascertain what was the cause, saw Bennett in flames and running up the stairs. He told him to lie down, and water was poured upon him, which extinguished tha fire. He was then taken to the Royal In- firmary, where he died on Sunday morning. Mr Pyne considered that the shock to the nervous system was the immediate cause of death. At the inquest the jury returned a verdict of Acci- dental Death. A CONGREGATION CAUGHT.— A Bristol clergyman noticing, a few Sundays ago, that the attendance was very thin when a col- lection was about to be made, intimated to his churchwardens ( just before the sermon) that it would be best to postpone it. It was accordingly deferred, but no day named. On the following Sunday evening the church was very full; a brief notice in- formed them that the collection would then be made. It was made, and proved a very good one. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— Among the latest addi- tions to this popular establishment is a portrait model of his Majesty the King of Prussia. This figure appears to create much attention, no doubt from the precarious state of his Ma- jesty's health. His Majesty is represented in the uniform of the Prussian Guards, decorated with numerous military orders of distinction. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE- FSIDAY. The supply of Wheat at this morning's market was only moderate The attendance of buyers being small, trade was very dull, and in the little done buyers had the advantage of a lurther concession of Is to 2s per qr. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been much larger than for many weeke, but not much desire was shown to buy, even at reduced rates. Full prices were made for malting Barley, but other sorts easier to purchase. The Oat trade dull, and only the finest feed commanded Monday's rates, other kinds 6d to la lower. Beans dull; but Peas sold at rather more money. Flour gold slowly at S9s per sack for Norfolks.

SEED MARKET.— Linseed and Rapeseed, for crushing, were both rather cheaper and in limited demand. Fine Cleverseed remains firm; the seedsmen, however, look on still, expecting no material change until the season comes on. Several parcels of Foreign Canaryseed having come in, English samples were offered more freely at a considerable reduction. Winter Tares move oif just for immediate sowings, at the previous rates.
