George Sawn— It is impossible. withdrawal of that confidence, even after repeated breaches of faith and loyalty, so reluctantly made. It was not the small number of European troops that made English officers and English officials utterly unacquainted with the real intentions of the sepoys. On tha contrary, the smallness of the num- ber of Europeans ought to have made them more vigilant and more desirous to be thoroughly well informed as to the thoughts, opinions, and wishes of the millions over whom thev, this small body of Europeans, claimed to wield the powers of government. Numbers alone do not give power nor knowledge, and indeed it is but reasonable to pre- sume that had the numbers of the Europeans been larger their self- confidence would have been even more blind than it was, and if the insurrection had broken out the vic- tims might have been more numerous, and the sufferings greater than they have been, It is true that the presence of an army of 200,000 Englishmen might have prevented the outbreak altogether, but no one, not even Lord Harrowby himself, ever dreamt of maintaining such an army in Iudia; but no absolute prevention could be securely calculated on with an army less numerous than that. We repeat that our unprepared state was not owing to the people, and in that respect the assertion of Lord Harrowby is equally unwise and untrue. But are we " prepared" now ? Lord Harrowby would say we are not, because we have not 100,000 soldiers whom we can at once pour inte India. It is plaiu, however, that vre have s^ ut more soldiers to Calcutta than the authorities there were pre- pared to use. Already have accounts reached this country of troops kept on board ship, or what is worse in flat- bottomed open boats in the marshv river, because the officials had made no preparation to receive them and to forward them to those parts where their services were required. Yet these very troops had been demanded from the Government; the Colonics iH the Indian seas had been besought to despatch them ; the Cape had been applied to; and when the Cape and the Colonies despatched the troops, though their arrival was foreknown, as their presence had been asked for, there were neither means to receive them iu Calcutta nor to send them on to Central India. A larger amount of force would but have made matters worse, and if instead of 10,000 men there had been 100,000 brought to the mouth of the Hooghly, the officials would have been thoroughly overwhelmed. It is the Government which is unprepared. In Asia as in the Crimea, red tape is destructive to English interests and English honour. This is the unpreparedness which must be corrected— no more increase of the army will ever get rid of it. F0EEIGN INTELLIGENCE. FHANCE. The funeral of General Cavaignac took place in a manner so quiet, compared with what was generally expected, that it might almost be called private. There was a talk of 12.000 troops being ordered to line the streets, and it was thought that there would be at least as much excitement in Paris as there was on the occasion of the interment of Berauger. Instead, however, of a great military display, there was only on foot just PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. NAPLES—- IMPRISONMENT OP ENGLISHMEN. There exists a cause of complaint against the King of Naples, which, if it had occurred in the time of Cromwell, or even of Canning, would either have been redressed at once, or the prin- ciples of justice and the respect due to England would have been summarily and efficaciously vindicated. Every one knows that in a recent very foolish and culpable attempt at revolution, some Italians seised upon a Sardinian passage steamer and used it for making a descent upon the shores of the Neapolitan kingdom. Had these insurgents been captured by the Sardinian war vessels, they would have been made criminally responsible for what the law would have treated as an act of piracy. They were not so captured, they over- powered the master, the crew, and the passengers, treated them all as prisoners, and confined them under hatches. While they were in this state the vessel was captured by a Neapolitan frigate. The master, crew, and passengers, were found in the state we have described. The insurgents had navigated the vessel till it was taken by the Neapolitan frigate. Nothing could be clearer thau that the captured crew and passengers were innocent of any offence against the Neapolitan Government. If the rules of Neapolitan law required that they should undergo the form of a trial, they should in the meantime have been treated with kind attention. They were, in fact, unfortunates, whom no fault of their own had put within the power and cast on the humanity of the Neapolitan Government. But that Govern- ment has no humanity— the King no religion nor any sense of justice, and the Ministers no honour. These poor unfortunates have been cast into prison and treated with great severity. Among them are two English working engineers, who at the time of the seizure of the vessel by the insurgents were doing the ordinary work of enginemen, and all at once found themselves prisoners. It is not even pretended— it never was pretended— that they had anything to do with the attempt at insurrection ; yet they have been treated with such cruelty that one of them is said to have lost his reason. Instant and peremptory ought to have been the demand for their fair trial, and, till that trial could take place, for their being properly treated. Neither of these things has been done, and we are now told the sad result. This is one of the consequences of that blundering folly ( condemned by us at the time) which pretended to show hostility to the King of Naples by removing our Minister from his court, but which, as we said, would have no other effect than to leave him with even less restraint than before to the indulgence of his evil passions. Here is a sad realisation of our opinions. The English Government is bound to take the most active and vigorous measures in a case like this. Individual suffering and national honour alike require peremptory interference. A squadron ought at once to be despatched to Naples to force the King to do justice. Nothing less will ever induce him to do it. Duke of Cambridge, together with a splendid sword. The presentation took place at five o'clock in the Guildhall, which had been most tastefully fitted up for the eccasion by Mr Bunning, the City architect. In the centre, and in front of a . . - . . . gallery which had been erected for ladies at the eastern end of the force allotted by the rules of the service to pay the last ; the hall, was placed the chair for the Lord Mavor, and imme- honours to ageneral of division.

The duke, on entering the hall, was loudly cheersd. His royal highness then signed the usual declaration, and was ad- dressed by the chamberlain, Sir J. Key, who, in glancing at the services of the duke, said: We know your royal highness's estimate of rank, of birth, of near connec- tion with royalty. You esteemed those things great ac- cording as the conduct of their possessor made them great — as they were adorned by the graces of character, as'they were turned to the account of a nation's happiness, as in the beneficent purposes for which they were employed there was sure te be reflected upon thorn a brighter lustre than they gave ; isasmuch that, if I were to select a designation most welcome to your ears now, and most likely to go down with history to other times, it would be, not the illustrious prince, but the useful public servant— not the monarch's kinsman, but the humblest soldier's friend [ cheers]. The soldier's friend, I said— and the very name leads us back to a passage iu our nation's life characterised by more checkered incidents, calling up more of mingled feeling destined to be referred to here- after, with stronger alternations of pride and shame thau any event in the annals of history. And yet, sir, I believe I give utterance to the sentiments of this court when, in any re- trospect we take of the late war, I say the uppermost feelings of an Englishman's heart should fee those of permitted elation, heartfelt thankfulness, and honest pride. Mistakes there were of economy, of administrative rule, of unpractised generalship, such as might have been looked for, perhaps, in the people of a land which had had rest for forty years; but still, of dishonour to our flag, of stain upon our sword, of shadow of reproach upon the stoutness of the English heart or the indomitabieness of the English will, no trace ever appeared from the first landing of our troops at Gallipoli to the firing of the last shot against the shat- tered fortress of Sebastopel [ loud cheers]. It is evident we owed, under God's blessing, our successes to the valiant spirit of the many— our losses only to the mismanagement of the few. The characteristic of the English soldiery is to leau with unquestioning confidence upon those who lead them, ready to rush upon destruction, if destruction be set before them, in the wish to cover any error on their general's part by we, I ask, doing justice to that brave army or to ourselves* we place them again in so dangerous, so perilous a position? Surely, if it were only out of humanity to our troops, they should be of sufficient force to carry out whatever orders mav „ ., be entrusted to them.

By HORACE GOSS, M, D„ surgeon, 55, Great Queen- street, Lincoln's Inn, London, " UNPREPARED FOR WAR." When it was first discovered that there was a military mutiny in India which was likely to become formidable, there was a great outcry that we were taken " unprepared," and every one who could not, or would not, see anything beyond the length of his nose ( certainly not the length of his ears), asserted that the whole fault of the unpreparedness was attributable to the people. Their " ignorant impatience of taxation"— as Castlereagh once called the public desire for economy— had done it all. There is nothing more easy with certain persons than to get up a sense- less cry, and, the more senseless it is, the more readily they seem to adopt it. If, instead of expressing knowledge and em bodying argument, it is utterly deficient in both respects, it is all the more welcome to them. They want a phrase, not a meaning— an assertion, not an explanation. They could not un- derstand the latter— they can readily utter the former. The phrase which condemned the people for unreasonably cutting down the military estimates became a great favourite with the class of persons we have described, and they, being of such a class, of course readily believed the untruth they uttered. Lord Harrowby either is, or acts as if he is, of this class. He asserts in a public speech that we cannot wonder at our inca- pacity to deal with the Indian difficulty, because we were un- prepared, and he attributed our being unprepared to the people so soon insisting on reducing our forces to a peace establishment. Facts, no less than arguments, contradict him. The people did not insist on any considerable reductions in our naval or military establishments, they would have granted all that was necessary, and towards the close of the war were in a humour to grant more than the Minister thought fit to ask. But the war was closed to prevent the too great humiliation of the Czar, and to serve other purposes, which certainly were not English. Then came the question of taxation. The people, discontented with the unproductive and unsatisfactory close or the war, were little disposed to bear war taxes in time of peace, and the quibbling construction attempted to be put upon the words of the Income- tax Act aroused such a feeling of indignation in the public mind that the attempt was perforce abandoned. Still the people had not refused any vote or grant which was in the least degree proved to be necessary. So that, in point of fact, Lord Har- rowby's statement is simply without foundation. But it is absurd as it is incorrect. Lord Harrowby assumes that preparedness for war means the having a large army. Here is folly the first, if, indeed, it is not something worse than folly. Had our army been larger than it was, there is nothing to show that the knowledge of its officers would therefore have been greater. It was not because there were few European troops in India that Delhi was entrusted to sepoys, while smaller and much less important stations had their regi- ments of Europeans ( Queen's and Company's) quartered in them. It was not because Europeans were few in India that the confidence placed in the sepoys was so excessive, and the PRIZES TO LABOURERS AND SERVANTS. Mr Disraeli has lately taken part in one of those agricultural county exhibitions where, after much talking by the grandees of the county, the labourers are exhibited and " rewarded." The recent exhibition took place at Amersham, where a woman who had been 35 years in faithful service, and two men who had been 50 years each discharging the duties of good, honest, indus trious labourers, were " rewarded" with a sum of 60s; that is to say, each of these meritorious persons received the startling amount of 20s. The sum was small enough, even if such a mode of encouraging good service had been appropriate ; the woman servant getting not quite sixpence halfpenny a year, and the two labourers getting about fourpence, one halfpenny, and a fraction. This certainly would not make them rich enough to be, even in the very smallest degree, objects of envy to their neighbours. But Mr Disraeli is angry with those who do not recognise in this mode of rewarding the labourers the best means of encouraging them to virtue. He says :— " Nothing can be more miserable thau the criticisms which rewards of this kind have received in the public newspapers when they ridicule the idea of giving perhaps fifty shillings for fifty years' faithful servitude. I need not tell you— and I am ashamed that there should be any of our fellow- subjects whom it is necessary to tell— that in giving rewards for excellent moral character we do not pretend to measure the excellence of the individual by the mere money value of the prize, but to single him out from the crowd and show that his services are appreciated by the community in which he lives [ cheers]. If we are always to estimate public services by the vulgar test of money, we shall not be able to carry on the public service of the country. We reward with prizes of blue and red riband acts of the greatest patriotism and heroism. It is the associations connected with such public acts which make the value of the prizes offered to the recipients." Now it is precisely because this doling out of small pecuniary gratuities does not create any " associations" which give a value to the money, that we object to the plan of which Mr Disraeli makes himself the advocate. In what way is the man of fifty years' service " singled out" from the crowd? In what way do his rich neighbours show that they " appreciate" his long and faithful labours ? By giving him that which has a money value and no other, which is not a mark of honour, which does not confer any distinction on him, and the gift of which would be equalled at any moment by any one of the givers for anything which had contributed to gratify his own vanity or pleasures. Mr Disraeli quite forgot himself and the position he once occupied, when, to justify the censure he had pronounced upon the press, he compared the 20s given by the farmers to the " red or blue riband" given by the Sove- reign. By our constitution the Sovereign is the fountain of honours. Do the agricultural landlords of Buckinghamshire fancy that the same thing may be said of them f Are their awards of honour like those of the Sovereign giving the favoured individual higher rank and place among his fellows ? None but the excitable imagination of Mr Disraeli could have tried to put the two things on the same footing. But then he refers not merely to red and blue ribands, but to good service pensions, and he will of course pretend that his reference applied only to those pensions. Giving him the full benefit of such an evasive argument, it will not serve his turn. The good service pension is not given, like the landlord's 20s, as the Queen's reward for good services, but as the testimony that her Majesty thinks that such services have been performed— services which she in- tends to reward further, but on which, in the meantime, she confers the benefit of a pension given by Parliament to any man of whose conduct the Crown approves. The pension, though a money payment, is but the symbol of approval, and the pledge and promise of greater benefit. No character of this sort is possessed by the 20s of the Buck- inghamshire squirearchy. The money is a money pay- ment— it is l © oked upon as such, and nothing more— it con- fers no honour recognised by all around the recipient, and it is not the pledge of future advancement and advantages. Being only a money payment, it is so mean in amount as to be a great discredit to the wealthy squires who award it. Let them aban- don this wretched trarestie of greatness— let them, if they de- sign to honour good services, give something which pretends only to be a symbol of honour, but let it be understood that those who win this symbol shall, by the very fact of having done so, be placed in a class every member of which shall, so far as the means of the squirearchy fairly allow, be marked for the grant of advantages of a substantial kind. At present the 20s are but a pretentious sham, affecting to be what they cannot— the award of social distinction, and assuming to be, what they are not— a befitting. pecumary compensation for good conduct. The inventors of these illusory " prizes" deserve neither red ribands nor good service pensions for their invention. XII, enacts that retired officers are entitled at their funeral to the honours of the last grade they held in the service. The 46th and 85th Regiments of the line, a battalion of Foot Chasseurs, and a squadron of the 4th Hussars, the whole commanded by General Soumain, constituted the guard of honour of General Cavaignac's hearse. The neighbourhood of his house, No. 29, Run de Londres, was oertaiuly . crowded as the hour for the funeral drew near, but not excessively so. Bodies of police prevented any obstructions in the line of the procession. Amass with music was performed at the church of St Louis d'Antin, to which only those furnished with tickets of invitation by the fam ly were admitted. When the corpse entered the cemetery of Montnsartre the mourners of the family only were allowed to follow immediately. A few minutes later two or three hundred persons with tickets were admitted. The rest of the followers, the number of which may perhaps have swollen to 8,000 or 10,000, were not allowed to enter. They dispersed without the slightest disturbance. The body was interred in the family vault, where lie the remains of the general's mother, and his brother, Godefroy Cavaignac. No speech was pronounced over the grave. Among the political and private friends of the de- ceased were most of his colleagues in the Government of 1848 and many other well- known personages. The most remarkable were MM. Senard, Odillon Birrot, Cremieux, Duvergier de Hau- ranne, Frelon, Vaulabelle, Bixio, Colonel Guinard, Carnot, Dufaure, Ferdinand de L& steyrie, Havin, Dubochet, Bethmont, Jeanron, Jules Simon, de Tocqueville, General Rulhieres and Piat. The pall- bearers were MM. Goudchaux and Bastide ( both ex- Ministers), Colonel Guinard, and a workman in a blouse, named Baillard, an elector of the circumscription of Paris, for which General Cavaignac was recently elected. The chief mourners were General Stanislas Cavaignac, M Fermin Cavaignac, and M de Foissy, all cousins of the de- ceased. The usual military salutes were fired over the grave. That the general was buried in Paris at all is owing to the energy and courage of his wife. No sooner was she informed of the death than she sent to the railway station to order a special train for Paris. As railways in France are under direct govern- ment control the officials hesitated. She said—" I am the wife of General Cavaignac; I am going to Paris with his dead body to bury it there; I must have a special train immediately," The officer received the unfortunate lady with the utmost courtesy, and, as it is related, on his own responsibility, furnished a special train at once, and telegraphed to all the stations to keep the line clear. Madame Cavaignac, who had come to the station in her own carriage, ordered it to be put on a railway truck, and proceeded to Paris, sitting by the side of the corpse dressed in ordinary clothes— the clothes in which he died— as a living man. With wonderful courage and devotion she often took the body on her knees and wept over it. On arriving in Paris she pro- ceeded to the general's town residence in the Rue de Londres, and at once sent off a messenger for M Havin, the redacteur- en- chef of the Siecle. Her next care was to fit up their bedroom as a lighted chapel with caudles and black cloth. There, lying iu a dressing- gown, his fine countenance calm and unchanged, the dead body of General Cavaignac was seen by a very few intimate friends— M Gcodchaux, M Havin, and M Pescatore being of the number. Baren de Baragul, the general's uncle, was also there. BELGIUM. The elections having terminated unfavourably for the ministers who introduced a bill for making the priests masters of all the charities of Belgium, the ministers have tendered their resig- nations. On Sunday M. H. de Brouchere was sent for, and was received by his Majesty at the Palace of Laeken. H0LSTEIN. According to an official communicaiion the affair of Holstein has been referred to a commission. Hanover has demanded that the provisions of the constitution of Holstein, in so far as they may be opposed to the Federal law, shall be declared not obliga- tory, if Denmark persist in supporting them. The demand has also been referred to the commission. so dangerous as that from which it has recently escaped [ hear, hear.] As for the expedition with which a relieving force was sent to the East, I claim no credit for it further than as the head of a great department in which all worked with equal zeal. It was only our duty to send relief as soon as possible to our coun- trymen in distant parts, and the same activity will cop tin ue to distinguish our efforts ; but still, I repeat, that it will be mad- ness if we ever again allow so distant a position to be caught in a similar state of unpreparedness [ hear, hear]. It has been said that we should govtrn our Indian empire rather by moral than by military power. I am not one who would say we should keep so great an empire merely by military force, but what I mean is, that our moral influence should be backed up by such an amount of military force as, when an exigency should arise, would be able to defend and to main tain our position [ hear]. That is the proper way to hold India, moral influence in the main, but backed up by a sufficient military force, whenever an emergency rendered it necesbary, A great difficulty has been raised, as to how this mutiny is to be dealt with; but, to me, it seems as simple as the noonday. Of course, it would not enter into the head of any sane man that we should go to India brand in hand, destroying peaceful villages and slaying every human being that we could lay hands on. Such a policy would be per- fectly suicidil [ hear, hear, hear]. But, on the other hand, no man, with tne slightest feeling of humanity, is to tell me that a body of mutinous soldiers is to be permitted to stroll from one end of the country to the other— burning, destroy- ing, murdering, and mutilating— and then to be dealt with as if nothing extraordinary had happened [ loud cheers], lam persuaded that no Englishman could have such a feeling, aud I cannot believe what has been told us that such can be the feel- ing of persons in authority [ hear, hear], I am glad to have this opportunity for saying there is no truth whatever in the report that my gallant friend the Commander- in- Chief in India, and whom I respect and admire more than any brother officer, is not on good terms with the Governor- General of India [ hear, hear], I have had a letter from my gallant friend in which he alludes to these reports, and distinctly and positively denies that they have the slightest foundation in fact [ cheers]. It would not, however, become me to enter largely into this subject, as never having been in India I can only judge at a distance and under the dictates of my own common sense. As to the conduct of the native army, none of the blame can attach to its European officers. I feel it my duty to say, in the presence of the Lord Mayor and this distinguished company, that everything that man could do has been done by the European officers of the In- dian army, and that their only fault has been too much confi- — , _ dence in tne men who had been placed under their command doubled measure of intrepidity on their own ; and by this That was the case with one of the first victims, a gallant offiGer intrepidity, by God's blessing, we conquered; for as a Christian nation we must ever bear in mind that even the consummate skill and unrivalled generalship of a Wellington, with the indomitable courage and spirit of British soldiers, would without God's blessing be of no avail. Of the part sus- tained by your royal highnessin this ever memorable campaign it would not become me to speak particularly. Nor is it needful. The tidings used to reach us through that widely diffused organ of public opinion which morning by morning announced to its million readers the privations of cur countrj' » brave.

In justice to that officer I, as Commauder- iu- Chief, testify to the bravery and gallantry of his conduct, and assert that his only fault was too great confi- dence in his soldiers [ loud cheers]. What is to become of that army in tke future it would be difficult to say; nor would it be proper for me at present more particularly to allude to it. What we must have, I believe, in India, is a European army, with a native auxiliary to it; but that must be a subject for future dis- cussion [ hear, hear]. LITERATURE.

We followed I at its centents, which appear to be unusually well adapted for BLOWING FROM THE GUNS AT PESHAWUR.— It was an awfully imposing scene! All the troops, European and native, armed and disarmed, loyal and disaffected, were drawn up on parade, forming three sides of a square; and drawn up very carefully, you may be sure, so that any attempt on the part of the disaffected to rescue the doomed prisoners would have been easily checked. Forming the fourth side of the square, were drawn up the guns ( 9- pounders), ten in number, which were to be used for the execution. The prisoners, under a strong European guard, were then marched into the square, their crimes and sentences read aloud to them, and at the head of each regiment; they were then marched round the square, and up to the guns. The first ten were picked out— their eyes were bandaged, and they were bound to the guns, their backs leaning against the muzzles, and their arms fastened to the wheels. The port- fires were lighted, and at a signal from the Artillery- Major, the guns were fired. It was a horrid sight that then met the eye; a regular shower of human fragments of heads, of arms, of legs, appeared in the air through the smoke, and when that cleared away these fragments lying on the ground— frag- ments of Hindoos and fragments of Mussulmans, all mixed together— were all that remained of those ten mutineers. Three times more was this scene repeated; but so great is the disgust we all feel for the atrocities committed by the rebels, that we had no room in our hearts for any feeling of pity; perfect cal- lousness was depicted on every European's face; a look of grim satisfaction could even be seen in the countenances of the gun- ners serving the guns. But far different was the effect on the native portion of the spectators; their black faces grew ghastly pale as they gazed breathlessly at the awful spectacle. You must know that this is nearly the only form in which death has any terrors for a native. If he is hung, or shot by musketry, he knows that his friends or relatives will be allowed to claim his body, and will give him the funeral rites required by his re- ligion ; if a Hindoo, that his body will be burned with all due ceremonies; and if a Mussulman, that his remains will be de- cently interred, as directed in the Koran. But if sentenced to death in this form, he knows that his body will be blown into a thousand pieces, and that it will be altogether impossible for his relatives, however devoted to him, to be sure of picking up all the fragments of his own particular body; aud the thought that perhaps a limb of some one of a different religion to himself might possibly be burned or buried with the remainder of - his own body, is agony to him. But notwithstanding this, it was impossible for the mutineers' direst hater not to feel some degree of admiration for the way in which they met their deaths. Nothing in their lives became them like the leaving of them. Of the whole forty, only two showed any signs of fear, and they were bitterly reproached by the others for disgracing their race. They certainly died like men. After the first tea had been dis- posed of, the next batch, who had been looking on all the time, walked up to the guns quite calmly and unfalteringly, and al- lowed themselves to be blindfolded and tied up without moving a muscle, or showing the slightest signs of fear, or even concern. Whence had these men this strength? Their religion, bad as it may be and is in all other points, at least befriends them well at the hour of death; it teaches them well that great and useful lesson, how to die.— Letter from Peshawur, in Blackwood's Magazine for November. SINGULAR CASE OF SUICIDE, AT LEICESTER.— In June last Robert Spriggs, a pill doctor, residing in Causeway- lane, Leices- ter, was married to a person much younger than himself, but in consequence of some disagreement as to the manner in which Spriggs was disposing of her property, his wife left him a few weeks ago. This preyed upon his mind, and on Sunday last he was found in his travelling van suspended by the neck, quite dead. When found he had his spectacles on, and his wife's wedding slippers were firmly fastened round his neok, the heels of each slipper meeting at tne cbin, and were fastened together by a screw, SWEDEN. After seven days' debate the Swedish Chambers of nobles, clergy, aud peasants have rejected the law conferring religious liberty. The order of citizens fbourgeoisieJ has alone voted it. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 27th contains royal decrees which relieve Admiral Armero from the ad interim administration of the marine department, and M Bermudez de Castro from the post of civil governor of Madrid. The following is from a letter, dated Madrid, the 28th of October:—" P , M , and O , and some few other female and male employes of the palace, have supreme influence with her Majesty; aud things are going on in such a fashion that the patience of men the most attached to monarchial government is well nigh exhausted. The royal personage most interested does not see the danger, but all others seo, it distinctly and with dismay. No one now has a chance of arriving at power in a constitutional or parliamentary manner ; the intrigues of favourites alone sway the fortunes of the country. It is said that the new ministers intend to insist going on with the sale of church property, in order to save Spain from a bank- ruptcy and something worse. PIEDMONT. Count Siccardi, formerly Minister of Grace and Justice, died a few days since. His eminent services demand a passing no- tice. The late count was a distinguished jurist, and had for many years past held some of the highest offices in the magis- tracy to the entire satisfaction of all political opinions. The iate King of Sardinia, Charles Albert, had so much respect for the judgment of Count Siccardi that it is said he particularly recom- mended him to his son in his private communications as one whose counsel was most to be depended upon. Even before 1848 Count Siccardi had effected some important legal reforms by ad- vising his Sovereign to abolish certain privileges and immunities of the nobility and of persons belonging to the orders of Knight- hood, but it will be by his law for the suppression of the Eccle- siastical Courts, which he carried through Parliament in 1849, while holding the portfolio of the Ministry of Grace aud Justice, that he will be best known to the world at large. In 1848 Count Siccardi was entrusted by King Charles Albert with a special diplomatic mission to the Pope at Gaeta, which, of course, was not successful, as its object was to establish, or rather re- establish, a friendly feeling between the two Governments, without Pied- mont sacrificing its independence to Rome. Since his retirement from the Ministry, which, in consequence of feecliuiug health, occurred soon after the passing of the bill for the suppression of the Ecclesiastical Courts, Count Siccardi has held the office of President of the Criminal Department of the Court of Appeal, and, having been created a senator by the King, he has con- tinually given his support to the policy of the Cavour Ministry, both foreign and domestic, and there is no doubt that to his brilliant eloquence and persuasive arguments the present Go- vernment has been more than once indebted for a majority in the Upper House. The death of such a man naturally casts a gloom over society. The King is reported to have been much affected on hearing of it; and, as the official paper justly re- marks in concluding its notice of the melancholy event, " the death of Count Siccardi is a national affliction." A subscription has been opened at Turin for the sufferers by the Indian mutiny, to which King Victor Emmanuel, with his accustomed generosity, has contributed 10,000f (£ 400). GREECE AND THE IONIAN [ SLANDS, Upon the first rumour of British misfortunesl. in India a cry was got up here for a separation from Great Britain, aud a union with Greece. That cry has now become more loud than ever with certain parties. Emissaries have been sent by the leaders of this agitation intoGreece. The agents of some of the Foreign Powers who are resident in Greece have given encouragement to the movement, but that encouragement is exclusively con- fined to them. The Greek people have learned by bitter ex- perience the evils which may result from settisg themselves up in opposition to the Western Powers, and they have rejected this appeal to a fraternal coalition as the vicious and unprin- cipled scheme of corrupt and designing men. No thinking Greek believes in the sincerity of this cry for a union. King Otho has sent to the Lord Mayor of London, from his private purse, £ 400, for the relief of the sufferers from the Indian mutiny, and has issued an ordinance, directing a public subscription for the Indian sufferers, in testimony of " profound gratitude towards England, for the support which she gave to Greece in the war of independence." SERVIA. A telegraphic despatch from Belgrade, received in Vienna, an- nounces that seven senators have protested against the arrest of their colleagues, and have denied that the latter belong, as was affirmed by some, to the party which seeks for the union of Mol- davia, Wallachia, and Servia, The Consuls of France and Russia have received orders to demand explanations from the Servian Government with respect to its late proceedings. The Leipsic Gazette contains, from the same quarter, the following version of the affair:—" There is no doubt that all the senators, with the exception of three, were privy to the plot of dethroning Prince Alexander in favour of the ex- Prince Milosch. Many of the senators received bribes of 1,000 ducats each ; the money was found on some who were arrested, while others had spent it or had lost it at play. The steward of the estates of Prince Milosch has likewise been arrested." The Times corre spondent says that the five senators who are in prison have con- fessed that they received5,000 ducatsfrom MiloschObrenovitsch, the ex- Hospodar of Servia, whose object it was to get rid of Prince Alexander. The French Government is fond of meddling, and it would therefore not surprise me to hear that the Servian question is to be brought before the Paris Conference. _ THE PRINCIPALITIES. The following is the text of the declaration of the Divan ad hoc of Moldavia. After stating the grounds which caused it to come to the declaration, it says :—" The real and true wishes of the country are :— 1, Respect of the rights of the Principalities, and especially of their autonomy, according to the tenor of their ancient stipulations, concluded with the Sublime Porte in 139S, 1460,1511, and 1634. 2. The union of the Principalities in one sole state under the name of Roumania. 3. An hereditary foreign prince, selected from one of the reigning dynasties of Europe, and whose heirs shall be brought up in the religion of the country. 4. Neutrality of the territory of the Prin- cipalities. 6, The legislative power to be entrusted to a general assembly, in which the interests of the nation shall be represented. All these rights to be under the collective guarantee of the Powers that signed the Treaty of Paris." CHINA. The Paris Pays says:—" We have private intelligence from Hong Kong to September 8. The Viceroy Yeh was expected at Canton on the 15th, on his return from Pekin. The Em- peror had conferred upon him the title of Heu- tzy- pank, which means lieutenant of his person. This is a rank which is never given except to princes of the imperial family when on a mis- sion. It is said that Yeh has positive orders to summon the English to evacuate Canton, and is authorised, in default of compliance, to make an official declaration of war against England. It results from this correspondence that the affairs of China are far from being in the way of a pacific solution. Lord Elgin and Baron Gros was expected at Hong Kong about the 20th or 25th of September, and no course of action could be decided upon till after their arrival." Mrs General Havelock, accompanied by her two daughters, arrived at the St Katharine's Wharf, on Wednesday morning, by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam- ship Hoi- land, from Osteiid. SUICIDE ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.— On Thursday a suicide of a very determined character was committed on the Bristol and Gloucester branch of the Midland Railway, near the Crossways Bridge, during the passage of one of the up goods trains. A woman and her little boy, who happened to be on the road, were accosted by a man, having a foreign accent, who asked the way to a place which he named. There was a some- thing peculiar in his manner and appearance which induced them to watch him, and they observed that after getting a short you in imagination through that eventful night, the first spent by our troops on Crimean soil, when in tentless and unsheltered misery you lay exposed to the night- long storm [ prolonged cheering]. We realised the sound of your voice on the victo rious heights of Alma, calling attention to the flying enemy and heartenir. g the exhausted troops in their work; while, when we saw you iu the thick of that murderous fire at Inker- mann, more than half your noble Guards lying dead or wounded upon the field, a body of Russians singling you out for venge- ful and deliberate aim, and even your laithful horse struck from under you, we confess to having felt a national pride in royalty, that he who so nobly led on England's armies was so nearly allied to England's Queen. It seems, therefore, needless to say how entirely our gracious Sove- reign carried with her the suffrages of her loving subjects when in the selection of a fitting person to occupy the highest mili- tary position in the country she was led to the nomination of your royal highness. How little hereditary preferences would be permitted to influence this choice, how little the prestige accorded as of right to one in your royal bighness's position, how little any consideration save a desire to promote the honour, the happiness, the efficiency of her beloved army, let any man tell who has ever heard of the deep emotion of the Monarch at the story of her soldiers' sufferings ; or who has ever listened to the loud outburst of grateful and loving loyalty when soldiers are gathered round their Queen [ cheers]. Yes, sir, you were designated by your Royal Mistress to your exalted office because she would that he who was to bear rule in military affairs should be one who could sympathise with bravery, had had experience of hardship, who could lend a helping hand to struggling merit, could remember past services, and reward them; ana already are both the; army and the country reaping the firstfruits of this wise selection. We see in our military councils a vigour of purpose, a discrimination of character, a breadth of plan and object in the educational arrangements, aud a considerate regard for the circumstances of the lowest subaltern, which, if permitted to be carried out, will cause the British soldier to be as much respected for his high- toned moral deportment iu the barracks as f< r his fearless and undauuted spirit in the field. After some further remarks, Sir John said : I am commissioned to present to jou both the badge of citizenship and the ensign of war. Honouring your royal highness as we do for all those personal qualities you have displayed in material warfare, we must honour ycu yet more for your desire to be identified with tho noblest achievements ef Christian philanthropy, for your wish that the school, the hospital, the asylum, should never be dissociated from your honoured name, and that anything you may be'able to do for j our country in disciplining her sons to the use of arms may be eclipsed by yet nobler services in the cause of charity and in the arts of peace [ great cheering]. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who on rising was received with loud and: prolonged cheering, said: My Lord Mayor, it beco nes my duty to express to your lordship and this court my sense of the honour which has just been conferred upon me " in such flattering terms by the city of London. Gentlemen, I can assure you that I am deeply sensible of the compliment and the distinction paid to me, and although I do not for one moment think that I have any right to bo mentioned with the illustrious names which have been brought under your notice by the kind- ness and favour of the Chamberlain, who has just addressed you, the very fact of my name being coupled with such men as a Chat- ham, a Nelson, or a Wellington, in itself constitutes a distinction of which any man, whatever his feelings may be, may, I think, b9 justlyproud [ cheers]. MyLordMayor. Inaturallyask myself how it is that I have attained the proud distinction which has thus been conferred upon me by my fellow- citizens— the metropolis of London— I think I may fairly say one of the greatest, if not the greatest, commercial city in the world. Gentlemen, I have merely performed my duty to the best of my ability [ cheers]. From the commencement of my career I have endeavoured to do so, and it is the simple performance of that duty which has now placed me in the proud position in which I feel myself, not alone as the head of the army, through the favour of my Sovereign, but at this moment as your honoured guest, as a fellow- citizen of the citizens of London [ loud cheering]. But, gentlemen, I cannot but think that in placing this great, this distinguished mark of your good opinion upon myself as an individual, it has occurred to the citizens of London that in doing honour to me, they were at the same time paying me the greatest compliment in their power by paying a compliment to the honour of the army [ cheers]. Gentlemen, I never can forget, although indi- vidually from a sense of duty I may have obtained the estima- tion, the affection, and the regard of my fellow- citizens ana of the country, that it is to the army I owe the high and distin- guished position iu which I feel myself placed [ cheers]. There- fore, any compliment that the citizens of London are oisposed to pay to the army if it is in my person I can only esteem as a double and a most graceful favour [ cheers]. Gentlemen, it will hardly be expected on your part, and it wauld ill become me, if I ventured in any respect to allude to the very limited ana humble services which I have performed on various occasions iu different parts of the world. The worthy Chamberlain has alluded to those services in terms which I really think go beyond the merit which they deserve—[ cries of No, no] — for, after all, what I have done is that which would be done by, I think, any one who had the feelings of a man, and who had the interests aud the honour of the country at heart [ much cheering], I therefore pass over these events which have now become matters of history, and which will no doubt be recorded in their proper light for ages to come. That I should have had the advantage— the honour— of participating in those great events, certainly I look back upon as one of the greatest plea- sures and one of the greatest satisfactions that I can possibly experience. But such as these services were, they certainly were not of a character to place me alone in the proud position in which I find myself, for I venture to hope that in various other ways I have also deserved and obtained the esteem and the approbation of my fe. llow- citizens. From an early period, taking the example of one most dear to myself— most dear, I believe, to the citizens of London— my honoured father [ cheers], I have endeavoured on all occasions to assist and promote, as far as I could, the interests and welfare of my fellow- citizens, and those unfortunate persons of various grades in life who call for the assistance and support of their neighbours and fellow- kinsmen. The endeavour, I am glad to finel, has been in many respects successful; in every respect I have met with the hearty and the zealous support of the citizens of London. As far as I can I shall continse, iu spite of the very different position in which I am placed, to add my mite and my humble endeavour to the furtherance of the great institutions, not only of this metropolis, but of the country at large [ cheers]. I have been a member for some time of one of the greatest corporate bodies of the City— the Merchant Tailors— who by a deputa- tion have this day done me the honour of introducing me to the Lord Mayor, a compliment which I highly prize. I am gratified to be a member of that body. I have the further gratification of being at the head of one of the noblest institutions of this metropolis [ hear, hear]. I assure you, gentlemen, that although I am a soldier iu heart, and I love the army, I confess I have the deepest interest and affection for my young friends over whom I preside at Christ's Hospital [ cheers]. I am merely slating these things to prove that a man, although a soldier, may at the same time be a citizen, and I trust that from being a soldier he is not on that account a less good citizen. I therefore hope that his lordship will find that the honour, the high com- pliment, which he, with the citizens of London, has conferred upon me they will not have reason to lament, for I assure them that they will find me just as devout, as obedient, and as good a citizen as they have complimented me upon being a soldier [ cheers]. Gentlemen, I again repeat that the honour that has been conferred upon me is one of which any man may be justly proud, whatever his station or position iu life; that I am justly proud of that honour, that I am confident, from the kind ex- pressions which I receive from all quarters, that that honour is conferred upon me not because ol the official position which I occupy, but because in various ways, and through the advan- tages which I have derived, I have been enabled to obtain the esteem, the affection, and the regard of my fellow- countrymen [ eheers]. Gentlemen, it is upon these conditions chiefly that I feel proud in finding myself placed in that nosition, and it is my anxious hope and desire as long as I continue a public man that I shall continue to merit the favour of my Sovereign and the approbation of the country, and my anxious desire will be to promote by every means in my power the efficiency and the re- nown of the army, and that when I lay down my rule I may feel the conviction that I have done my duty to the country, and that I have not given up the important trust committed to my hands in a less efficient state than when it was first confided to me [ cheers]. My Lord Mayor and gentlemen, 1 am highly flat- tered by the distinction that has been conferred upon me, and I shall never forget, to the last day of my life, the kindness and cordiality of my reception by the citizens of London. ( His royal highness resumed his seat amid loud and prolonged cheering.) After the presentation a grand banquet was given to his royal highness at the Mansion House ; and afterwards, in returning thanks for the army, the Duke of Cambridge said: I think, my Lord Mayor, that England has a right to be proud of, and satisfied with her army, for it has only recently gone through one great contest which has already become matter of history, and already it is engaged in new troubles, of which the mai" the purposes intended. Mrs Clarke has evidently paid great attention to her subject, and appears to be quite as well up iu the theory of her subject as she is known to be in its practice. We shall give a longer notice, with extracts, as soon as we can find space. But to all our fair fair friends we would say, in the meantime, get the book and judge for yourselves. PUNCH'S POCKET BOOK,—[ Punch Office, Fleet- street.]— Is it necessary to say more than tnat our facetious friend " Punch" has already published his " Pocket Book" for 1858, which, ja addition to its known excellent information on all useful sub- jects treated of in almanacs, teems with fun, both pictorial and scriptoral, from beginning to end ? Friend Leech aud liis clever brother iu art and fun, Tenniel, have this year made some most excellent h. ti at the foilies of the day. " The Skeleton in the Closet" is alone worth the price of the whole book, which, as every one knows, is taken as a whole worth double the value set upon it by its authors, let alone the saving to hypochondriacs and other melancholy patients in doctors' bills. RECREATIONS OP CHRISTOPHER NORTH. Vol II. [ Black- wood and Sons, Edinburgh.]— This, the tenth volume of Professor Wilson's invaluable works, has been several weeks on our table, but we have as yet been unable to notice it; and during tho present week we are s © pressed that we can only promise a detailed notice shortly. Such is our estimation of Old Kit, however, that we verily believe no more notice is necessary than a record of the fact that the tenth volume is on hand, Among other books received we may mention the second edition of The Oxonian in Norway, by the Rev F. Metcalf, published by Hurst and Blackett, Morton's Farmer's Almanac, & c. The usual monthly periodicals aud serials have also reached us,' and among them we are delighted to recognise the well- known yellow cover of Thackeray, whose new serial, The Virginians, makes its virgin essay. All shall be noticed in turn. THE GUN AND THE DOG — [ Groombridge and Sons.]— Under the above title a small pamphlet has just appeared, by R. B. Fellows, Esq, which will be found useful in tide hands of all young sportsmen, and which contains hints on the management of degs, and the treatment of their several diseases. We are continually receiving questions on this latter subject, and those who wish for information may now procure it in a most com- pendious form. Mr Fellows, in his preface, says that to those who know him, his age is against his having sufficient expe- rience to justify offering such a pamphlet to the public, and continues " To such I answer, that one man may live fifty years and observe nothing, and learn, if possible, less; and and another may learn a great deal in a very short space of time ;" and this, we have no doubt, has been the case with a gentleman who has had so many valuable opportunities. The work is dedicated to John Garden, E* q, of Reaisham Hall, Suf- folk, an old Etonian, well known for his thorough sportsman- like qualities. BRADSHAW'S OVERLAND GUIDE TO INDIA.— The improve- ments that have taken place in the Overland communication wi'h India within these few years— the opening of the Egyptian and Indian railways and telegraphs, together with the compv^ tition of candidates for the Indiau Civil Service, have rendered Through Route Overland Guide an indispensable necessary to travellers to and from all parts of Great Britain and the Indikn empire. This handbook contains a series of valuable long Through Route Tables, showing at a coup d'ceil how to reach that vast territory, the arrivals and departures of railways, steam- packets, and every description of conveyance throughout all the routes, the cost of such, including every expense, both travelling and incidental, currency in use, first- class hotels, time- tables and telegraph rates of all the railways, description of the most remarkable objects at and in She vicinity of all the station-, priced lists of outfits most carefully compiled, com- bining the articles required for both sexes, and selected with a due regard to the necessities of ths climate and position of travellers ; also the addresses of the principal establishments at which such can be procured; Post Office regulations, a well- seleeted list of works to enable travellers to render themselves perfectly au fait with the manners, customs, and history of the scenes visited. From these slight details our readers will be able to appreciate the value of this Overland Bradshaw, as a com- panion, not only to travellers, but also to the future Indian Government officials. way from them he made his'way on to the railway embankment, £ " ™ and upon reaching it raised his hat from his head and waved it ! ^ one sav that our armv has^ nSt* Si^ d' its duH r. oblv in ^ d, f if cheering Bomebody on Tlus led them to observe , devotion ^. d111I of fortitude, of self- devotion, of valour which we get from India ^ e such as to make England proud of her army [ cheers].

Are THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN AUSTRALIA.— The estimated cost of the lines will be read with interest, as affording a fair index of the cost of material and rate of labour iu the colonies. In Victoria the cost of the 300 miles of telegraph is estimated at £ 75 p-* r mile, the whole cost being £ 22.500. In South Australia the es'imate is £ 60 per mile for tho 320 miles required; the total cost, £ 19,200. The average cost of all the lines of telegraph in the United States is stated to be 200 dollars, or about £ 40, and in this country it is rather more than £ 60 per mile; so that the estimate for the Australian lines cannot be considered as excessive. We would urge upon the local Governments tha duty of avoiding anything like false economy in the construction of the lines. Iu the United States durability has been sacrificed to the desire for cheapness of construction, and, as a conse- quence, gaps are constantly occuring in the communications in America owing to the decaying and rotting of the poles, tha rupture of wires not sufficiently strong, and other causes which a slight additional expenditure at the commencement of the works might have obviated. The proposed telegraphic stations on the Victoria line are Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Raglan, Warrnambool, Belfast, and Portland; on the line in South Australia— Adelaide, Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, Goolvva, Port Elliott, Guichen Bay, and Mount Gambler. The cost of the maintenance and working of the lines, including interest on capital, will be £ 11,200 per annum. DEATH WHILST PRATING.— A startling instance of sudden death occurred at Bath on Monday evening. Mr R. P. Lemon, wine merchant of that city, who was one of the deacons at Arsyle Chapel, was at the weekly prayer meeting of the congre- gation, and had engaged in prayer. A hymn was given out, when it was observed that Mr Lemon still remained leaning upon the table in the communion pew, at which ha had knelt whilst praying. As he did not rise some of those near him touched him, but as this had no effect, an effort was made to rouse him, when it was found that he was dead. As may be sup- posed, the most intense excitement was occasioned by this dis- covery. Mr Lemon having been for many years a most active member of the chapel. The deceased gentleman was fifty- six years of age. His body was at once removed to his residence on the North Parade, where it was received by bis surprised and soiTowing wife and family. The cause of death is supposed to have been disease of the heart. MURDER AND HIGHWAY RODBERY IN ESSEX.— On Wed- nesday an inquest was held at Halstead, on the body of Mr Isaac Butcher, farmer and cattle dealer, who was robbed and murdered on Saturday week, on his way from Colchester market to Colne Engaine, where he lived. The most important witness, excepting the medical testimony, was a young man named Butkr, under gardener to Robert Hills, Esq, of Colne Park. Butler states that he left his work just after six o'clock, aud when within fifty yards of the lodge gate he hearu a noise as of persons scuffling in the road, and a faint cry of " Oh, dear," or " Oh, don't," followed by several groans, and a sound like a person choking. He quickened his pace to about 20 or 30 yards through the gate, when he stopped to listen, and distinctly heard the footsteps of two or three persons running away. About 20 yards further on he came to a man lying on his back ; and run- ning a little further he again heard footsteps in a small planta- tion, but fearing he might be himself attacked he gave up the pursuit, and returned to the deceased, who appeared at t moment to breathe his last. After the deceased had beehw . veyed home, his check- book and pocket- book were ftiund ii^ is coat pocket, apparently undisturbed ; and the latter, with othe.^ papers, contained a receipt for upwards of £ 600 paid into the Halstead Bank on the previous day.— Mr Taylor, surgeon, of Earl's Colne, who had been sent for when the deceased was first found, made an immediate examination of the body, but could detect no injuries beyond a contusion of the nose and a cut on the inside of the upper lip, as if from pressure upon a broken tooth. Of course neither of these was sufficient to account for death, and not only was a report in circulation that the deceased died from a fit, but the coroner, upon the statement of the circum- stances made to him, arrived at the same conclusion, and con- sequently did not give an order for a post mortem examination until the morning of the inquest. This was most minutely and carefully performed by Mr Taylor, assisted by another gentle- man of fiaistead. They found congestion of the brain, but without any appearance of injury to the skull. The tongue was neither protruding nor swollen, which might be expected from ordinary strangulation; but there were black patches on both arms above the elbow, as if he had been pinioned from behind, and there was an oval patch upon the angle of each jaw, re- sembling in shape a thumb and finger, one being larger than the other. Beth medical gentlemen were satisfied that death arose from asphyxia, the result of violence, and as far as they could form an opinion, it was that a hand was pressed over the mouth and the nose held so as to cause suffocation,— The jury, without hesitation, arrived at a verdict of Wilful Murder by some person or persons unknown.— The description obtained by the police of the two men suspected, and who had been observed at Halstead fair onthe preceding day, corresponds very closely with that of two men who committed a highway robbery upon a farmer named Palmer, who had been attending East Harling fair, in Norfolk, on the 24th ult. They are apparently railroad labourers on tramp. The Norfolk and Essex police are acting in concert in the search for them, but at present no clue has been obtained as to the route they have taken, beyond the fact that a man re- sembling one of the parties took the train for London on Sunday morning from the Kelvedon station. COMMITTAL OP A PUBLICAN FOR MURDER.— On Wednesday an inquest was held at " Woolton, near Liverpool, upon the body of Mrs Martha Molyneux an elderly widow, who was strangled in her own house on Sunday afternoon. The person accused of the crime is Audrew O'llrien, a publican of Hanovftr- street, Liverpool, and deceased's son- in- law. The inquest terminated in a verdict of Wilful Murder against the accused.

Owing to her h of river would not permit of her tost, as in ordinary cases, and it lower the vessel with her broad- lis, two launching ways or broad s were coustructed by the rail- and Ca, running from under the vessel down into the river Each of these ways was 300 feet ance between the two about 120 iiifting nature of the river mud, derous machine like a nattering ram, so as perrecuy to « ue ship's bottom. The timbers were principally laid athwartships, with longitudinal beams, and shores fastened to the outsides. All were riveted together with iron bolts and screws, and loaned with iron ballast to prevent their floating with the vessel. \ he bottom of the iron cradle consisted of iron bars 7 inches wide and an inch thick, placed at intervals of a foot apart aDd with their edges carefully ground off, so as to offer no resistance to the railway metals of the ways over which they passed. Both launching ways rise slightly at the centre, where the piles are driven at wider intervals, in order to allow for the de- pression which is produced by the passage of such an enormous weight over their surface. The chief points on which the energies of Mr Brunei were concentrated were— first, to overcome the momentum of guch a mass down an inclined plane of 1 in 12, and prevent her, when once in motion, dashing entirely away; secondly, if stepped from any cause upon the ways, to overcome the resistance her enormous weight and provide sufficient purchase from the water to pull her slowly into motion again. The latter was quite a secondary consideration, for it was upon the strength and good working of the check tackle that everything depended. As no human ingenuity and skill could foresee the strain which imght coma upon this tackle, danger was provided against, and the whole apparatus formed the most ponderous system of check tackle that had ever been constructed. We have already ex- plained what the cradles are, and how the timbers of which they are composed are wedged in by means of a huge battering ram, till the whole was crushed into one compact mass, bolted together with massive iron rods. To the centre of each of these cradles was fastened the iron sheaves to which the check tackle was attached. These sheaves or pulleys were especially made for this work; they are of solid cast iron, and weigh five to; a a each. Oae sheave was fastened to each cradle, and wrought iron chain cables of the largest size connected these with two other sheaves, each of which was secured to a drum, which passed out the chain, and in fact regulated the whole operation. These drums and the framework on which they had rested had to bear the strain of the whofe mass in motion, and extraordi- nary precautions had been taken to render them as massive as they could be made by any known combination of wood and iron. The shape was that of an ordinary reel, the axle of which was formed by beams of timber and strips of wrought iron bound together so as to form a drum about 20 feet long and 9 feet in diameter. At each end of the cylinder were the wheels of the drum or discs, 16 feet in diameter, each of solid iron, and weighing upwards of 20 tons, so that the weight of each drum was more than 60 tons in all. The axle of the disc was set in a frame of iron, while around its outer edge passed a band of wrought iron to work in the manner of a friction clutch or break. This, with the aid of strong iron levers, 20 feet long, brings such a pressure to bear upon the discs of the drum as to lower its revolutions, or entirely stop them, is case the chain is being paid out too fast. The frame in which they work is set in a solid bed of timber, formed by driving down a mass of piles 40 feet iu length, so as to form a solid piece of timber about 20 feet square, and gcieg down to the gravel. The whole of this is bjuud together with iron, and strong shores pass from the cube of piles to the bed of piles, on which the launching ways are built; so that, in fact, no matter what the strain, it would be impossible for the setting of the drums to give, unless the whole river's bank gave way with them. One of these drums is built opposite each cradle— the chains used between them and the cradles were the chain cables of the Leviathan itself, which are 2| inches in diameter, or about 601b the link. The scene on the road reminded one of the approach to a fair. Shows for the prodigious baby, and the six- legged sheep, and ubiquitous Punch were also there, and the neighbourhood was decorated with flags of all nations. The workmen in the yard were busily employed all night, and the din of hammers and rattling of engines was still to be heard on entering. The yard was crowded with visitors, amongst whom were to be seen many ladies, who appeared to take the deepest interest in the noble vessel. Every department of business was going on with regu- larity, and the numerous crowd both within and without the yard were kept in order by a large body of police of the K division, under the direction of Mr Superintendent Howie. The river Thames was crowded during the day with every description of craft, from the large ocean steamer to the small gig. All the steamers passing stopped opposite the vessel to enable their passengers to view her beautiful outline, and, in addition, there was a very large number of steamers chartered specially for the purpose of conveying parties to witness the launch. All the vessels lying in the roads were gai'y dressed, and many of them had bauds of music on board, which enli- vened by their strains the monotony of a November day. As Deptford Dockyard is situate exactly facing the vessel on her stocks, it was thought by many that it afforded an excellent opportunity of witnessing the operations, and at an early hour some thousands of all classes flocked through the gates, and lined the quays. The assembled multitude had not long taken their places, however, when they were reminded by certain boards posted at various parts of the yard bearing the significant word " Re- served," beyond which limits they were not permitted to go. When the unfortunate visitors had retired to make room in the most advantageous places for " membersof the Government," " officers of the yard," & c, they found themselves about as well able to witness the lauueh, or see the ship, as if they had re- mained at home. However, they contrived to get into the slips and other spots not held so sacred as those they had previously occupied. The interest in the proceedings, however, which was manifested in such a strong manner by the lower and middle classes of society, was not entirely confined to them; there was a pretty large circle of distinguished visitors in the yard, among whom were their royal highnesses the Duke d'Aumale and the Count de Paris. The great foreign lions of the present day, the Siamese Ambassadors, who, by their picturesque dress and general novel appearance, were certainly rendered as interesting to the visitors as the great ship herself; the Marquis and Mar- chioness of Stafford, Sir W. Codrington, the Hon S. and F. Ponsonby, Mr Corry, M. P., Mr Milner Gibson, and also deputies from several of the European Governments, were present in the yard, and watched the proceedings with evident interest. It is needless to meution that the greatest activity prevailed in the yard throughout the whole cf the previous night, and lucky, indeed, were those who could boast in the morning of having had an hour's sleep. Mr Brunei and his assistants, as a matter of course, shared the watchfulness of the previous night with the labourers. In spite, however, of all the expedition that had been used, at ten o clock things were not in so forward a condition as could have been wished, or, indeed, expected, so many " last things" had to be done. Frames had to be fiually secured, the launching ways had te be finally greased, and last, though not least, the final instructions had to be conveyed to the different gangs of workmen relative to a code of ilag signals which would be made by Mr Brunei from the deck of the ship. This, though, of course, one of the most essential parts of the day's proeeedings, was necessarily one of the most difficult, and consequently occupied much time. Eleven was the hour specified for the starting of the ship, but it was twelve o'clock before the men were finally recalled from the launching ways, preparatory to the commencement of the undertaking. A few minutes after twelve, the directors of the oompany, together with the various officials, took their station on the christening stage which was erected at the bow, when the important cere- mony of christening her was performed by Miss Hope, the daughter of the chairman of the company. The name, however, which was conferred upon her, greatly to the surprise of all present, was not the Great Eastern, the familiar ccguomen by which she has been known to the public during the progress of her construction, but LEVIATHAN, a distinctive appellation in very much better keeping with her general appearance than the former term. The christening ceremony having been performed, all the re- maining shores which " still kept the vessel in her original posi- tion were cleared away, and nothing prevented her immediate descent into the water but the friction on the launching ways and the gigantic chains attached to the drums. The friction breaks were then immediately manned by gangs of men, and the signal boys were placed with their flags in conspicuous situa- tions. The white flag was at length hoisted as a signal to slacken off the chains, which was immediately done to the extent of about a foot, without the ship commencing her descent. The hydraulic rams were then brought into requisition to start her, and for the same purpose the chains attached to the mooring barges in the river were hauled upon with a force of some hundreds of tons. This expedient had the desired effect at the bows, which immediately descended about three feet down the launching ways in a swift and easy manner, which augured well for success. The first movement of the ship was of course hailed with a tremendous cheer both from those in the yard, on the river, and along its banks ; but their cheering was undoubtedly rather premature, for it was directly afterwards discovered that though the chain attached to the after cradle had been slackened out considerably, yet it had not moved an inch. The hydraulic ram was immediately set to work on the cradle, but, by some inconceivable piece of neglect, the chain which had been first paid out was not wound tight up to the arum. The consequence was, that the moment the ram set the cradle in motion, the ship slid rapidly down as far as the slack chain would allow, and then her whole stupendous weight was checked with a violence which narrowly escaped snapping the chain or throwing her out of the cradle altogether, in either of which cases the loss of life would have been something frightful. As it was, the poor men who had hold of the handle of the multiplying winch attached to the drum were hurled into the air as if by some great explosion, of course sustaining dangerous injuries. A general panic immediately ensued among the men in the neighbourhood of the accident, many of whom dropped the ropes attached to the lever of the break, and made a rush away from the spot. Their example was, fortunately, not fol- lowed by the rest of the men in charge of the friction lever, or the ship would have rushed psll- mell into the river, making a clean sweep of the numerous boats which plied up and down close under her side, and the men who did remain had sufficient presence of mind to depress the lever, and bring the ship to a standstill. The unfortunate men were, as may be expected, most horribly mutilated. John Donovan, an old man, haA the bones of both his legs fearfully crushed, and uo hopes are entertained of his recovery. The second, Henry Stacy, a young man, had both the bones of one of his legs smashed to fragments, and sustained other injuries. John Brown was whirled round twice by the winch, and was then thrown upwards of twenty feet into the air, and yet, strange to say, though violently contused and shaken, his injuries are not of" a fatal character. Antony Maher and another workman were in- ternally injured ; all, with the exception of the last, were con- veyed immediately to the Poplar Hospital, and were there placed under the care of the house surgeon, Mr M. Brownfield. They are all progressing more favourably than could possibly have been expected. So violent was the strain thrown upon the winch by which the unfortunate men were injured, that several of the cogs were torn out of the wheels. As to who is to blame for the accident it is difficult to say with certainty; but it was un- doubtedly caused, first, by their having no assistant- engineer to superintend the general manipulation of the drum and breaks; and secondly, in not having a sufficient number of cog wheels attached to the drum to give the men at the winch some power and command over the gigantic weight they had to cope with. A fault must undoubtedly have been committed by some one, and it is hardly fair that the men should suffer for it; it behoves the company, consequently, to make some provision for the in- jured men and their families, by way of reparation. The accident above mentioned occurred shortly before one o'clock, and in consequence of it the whole operations were sus- pended for upwards of an hour. About a quarter past two everything was again in readiness for proceeding with the ope- rations ; but this time much more care was bestowed upon the arrangement of the breaks, and precautions were taken to ensure the greatest safety ; but the difficulty of getting the vessel to move was found much greater, and the chains from the barges moored in the river and the hydraulic rams were both applied with very little success. The vessel, though showing an un- usual ana unpleasant facility of motion an hour before, could hardly be got to move an inch, even though urged forward with a great strain. A strain of upwards of 100 tons was put upon the c baits attached to the fore cradle, which had the effect of drawing the cradle down a few inches ; after which the cable parted near the middle, but fortunately without doing any mis- chief. As no further assistance could be obtained from the water towards drawing down the bows forward, the hydraulic press was forced against the cradle with a force of upwards of 600 tons, with no other result than that of snapping the pin of TVIU I » QTYI ft: < T9C » WR FLIIO FMIO TVI^ O TH/ MMH will not be in consequence of any alterations which have to be made in the plan of the launching arrangements— these will be materially tiie same— but will be mainly in consequence of the tides. Hydraulic rams of greater power will be used, and some slight modifications may possibly be made in the drum apparatus; but this will be a matter for the subsequent consi- deration of the engineers. Though the operations, as far as they have gone, have not besn attended with all the success that could have been desired, yet it is not fair to condemn the engineering part of the pro- ceedings unconditionally. The difficulties have been very great, and the means of overcoming them cannot be expected to meet them in every case on a first trial. Circumstances and con- tingencies will arise against which it is impossible always to be provided. Far from condemning the engineers, they should receive the just meed of praise which is due to the conception o* a grand aud novel scheme, and we believe the failure of the day's proceedings will rather tend to show the difficulties which have to be overcome, and point to the means of surmounting them, than t3 be the precursors of an ultimate failure. We have received the following communication in reference to the building of large iron ships from Mr Clare, whose propo- sition to construct still larger ships, with oertain improvements, we lately noticed. ME EDITOE : The time having arrived for the launch of the Great Eastern, I am induced to offer a few remarks on this huge mass of iron, which solves a question as to the adaptability of the great mineral staple for ship- building, proving past all doubt the impractibility of using fibrous material for ships of large tonnage- The public are hot generally aware of the originality of large iron steam ships. About four years and a half ago, a gentleman engaged in the American trade at Liverpool con- sulted me about building an iron steam ship with auxiliary power, for the cotton trade, of 10,000 tons, and was desirous that I should wait upon some of the large houses engaged in the cotton trade to see if they would join in the venture, so that they could purchase cotton and load on their own accounts in case of freights being unremunerative, but CH application to several of the leading firms their articles of partnership was an apology, and prevented their embarking capital in ships ; how- ever, while the matter was undergoing consideration, & c, it was canvassed on the Liverpool Exchange, from whence the news found its way into the European Times, and ultimately iuto the London journals. Shortly afterwards there was a dinner given in London to the great contractors, and other gentlemen con- nected with engineering work, and over the dinner- table the arrangements were made preliminary for building a large iron ship. The main mover in carrying out the undertaking for the Great Eastern was the late Charles Geech, Esq, M. P., a man of good business habits and of a gigantic mind; and but for his iron disposition, steel nerves, gunpowder spirit, and golden pocket, the Great Eastern would never have been built. It is to be lamented as a national loss the demise of such a gentleman, who has not left a superior behind him on earth, aud it is to be hoped after this the press will be cautious how they speak derogatory of the advancement of science and mechanism, as there is nothing impossible in these days with money. The persons who have subscribed their money to build the Great Eastern are public benefactors, and they ought to have some mark of respect attached to them that could be handed down to posterity. The revenue of the country ought to be applied to reimburse them, as the building of the Great Eastern proves, to the mineral interest of Great Britain, that iron cau be applied for ship building to produce ships of any curve, size, and strength. The iron masters of England ought to blush when they see the spirit of private individuals carrying out their trade. It is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when the dogmatical ideas of the fraternity who style them- selves the iron brains sf our mineral districts will be superseded by science, and instead of making iron by the rule of thumb aud all sorts of qualities, that our manufactures will be obtained from steel, made direct from the iron stone at the first smelting, and the burnt iron, some of the ignorami were talking about, produced from Besserntr's manipulations, will take the film off their eyes with steel at about £ 10 per ton, and ultimately our ships will be built of steel. Cort and Bessemer are the most wonderful men on record, as regards the manipulation in iron making. The former for in- troducing puddling and rolling, and the latter for doing away with puddling and making steel from the iron stone, and rolling it to any diameter of plate. The Great Eastern, as a piece of naval design and mechanical construction, is a long way behind the times. Her draught of water, laden, coupled with the sacri- fice of space for buoyancy, are great drawbacks for commercial purposes. It is evident the parties engaged about her were igno- rant of the elementary parts of mercantile marine naval architecture. From the first start down to the present time, my remarks have been verified. The only thing the Great Eastern is fit for is the conveyance of troops on long sea route, and then she ought to be commanded by a mercantilemarinemarlin- spike seaman, who can keep his head cool and toes warm, and light his pipe at the gaily, and not at the pump. The directors of the Eastern Steam- ship Company have made a good selection in Capt Harrison. I have known him for many years. He is a plucky, saaart, active skipper, and is an ornament on the paddle- box of a steamer— he is a thorough tar.— Yours, & c, London, Nov 4„ 1857. JOHN CLAEE, sen. THE GEEAT POBTLASTD- STREET ROBBERY.— CAPTUEE OP THE POLICEMAN SAKKET.— The Cork papers contain account of the arrest of a man calling himself Henry Williams aud a woman natned Matilda Ross, charged with the robbery at 68, Great Portland- street, London, to the value of upwards of £ 1,000. The following are the particulars of the arrest:— On Saturday the head constable of Cork received information that the prisoners had got into the train at Lucau, and travelled by a third- class carriage as far as Kildare, where they got out, and Williams stated there that he was going to Killarney, and would wait for the mail train, but when the usual train arrived he took a ticket for Cork. The two parties put up at the Wellington Hotel, stating that they intended staying there for the night, but they only remained until three or four o'clock, when tiiey sent for a car, and directed the carman to drive them to some village three or four miles outside the city, where they could be accommodated for the night. In the meantime the inmates of the Wellington Hotel began to entertain suspicions abeut the pair. The man presented the appearance of a London police- man in plain clothes, and the youthful and interesting appear- ance of the young lady induced the idea that an elopement had taken place— that the female was some romantic boarding- house Miss, who had run off with him. Information of the circum- stance was conveyed to head- constable Roe, who, on hearing a description of the parties, instantly recognised it as answering to that of the male and female who had committed the robbery in London; and having made out the carman and ascertained from him where he had driven them, he started for Middleton about oneo'clock a. m., iu company with sub- constable M'Manus, and found the pair in bed in lodgings there. Disturbing them from their soft repose, he desired them to dress themselves, and questioned them separately as to who they were. The female admitted at once that she was the person described in the Police Gazette— namely, Matilda Ross, alias Duval; but the male pri- soner, who was described as James Sankey, persisted iu stating that his name was Henry Williams. There could be no doubt that they were the same parties, for their dress and appearance were exactly the same as described in the Gazette; and though none of the stolen property was found with them, yet a trunk and some luggage fully identified Sankey. It appeared that the j latter had been, up to the time of the robbery, a London police- I maw, and that having been placed in charge of the house, which ; belonged to a lady named Aitkin, he took advantage of his posi-: tion to abscond with the property mentioned. A sum of £ 50 was offered for the arrest of both parties, it having been ascer tained that the female prisoner had accompanied him in his flight, but they had eluded all search until head- constable Roe got on their track. Another party has also been arrested in London on a charge of having been connected with the robbery. The magistrates decided on remanding the parties for the pur- pese of having them sent back to London, the mayor remarking that the heai- constable deserved great credit for the activity and sharpness he had displayed in the affair. I BEN GAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM IN THE COUNTY COVET.— ! At the Rochester County Court held on Wednesday an action was brought by a gentleman named Buckhurst against Benjamin ; Caunt to recover the sum of £ 10 10s for damage committed to the plaintiff's grounds on the occasion of a prize fight taking I place between him and Langham. Caunt himself appeared to 1 defend the action. The plaintiff's solicitor, Mr Stephenson, said i that on the 22d September last a steam- boat filled with about 700 or 800 people arrived at Burntwick Island, a retired spot on I the banks of the Medway, where the plaintiff resides, when the ; whole party immediately landed. Caunt and Langham com-; mencea fighting, and were so engaged for some time, although warned away by the plaintiff and his men. The mob amused | themselves by committing sundry depredations about the ! ground; among other things they destroyed some of the fencing, and carried off several bushels of mushrooms, which grow in great quantities there. The plaintiff was constantly being an- noyed by having prize fights occurring on his land, as from its convenient and retired situation it was peculiarly adapted for tho^ e scenes, aud as no notice was ever taken by the mob of his orders to remove from the ground, he was compelled to bring an action against the principals concerned. During the progress of the trial the defendant made an offer to the plaintiff's solicitor to pay the plaintiff a sum of money, which being acceded to the trial was stopped. The judge ordered costs to be given the plaintiff on the highest scale, remarking that it was a monstrous thing for a number of ruffians to land on a gentleman's private property and commit what damage they pleased. An action was also brought by the plaintiff against Langham, which was with- drawn under similar circumstances. SINGULAR ACCIDENT TO A SUBGEON.— A very singular acci- dent occurred on Thursday week to Mr Donald Dalrymple, surgeon, of Norwich, while he was shooting with a party of friends at Lakenham. Mr Dalrymple was reloading one of the barrels of his gun, the other, which had not been discharged, having been inadvertently left on full cock, aud while applying the ramrod the undischarged barrel exploded, the charge carry- ing away the fore finger of his right hand, severely mutilating his thumb, lacerating the cheek and one of the eyes and eyelids, and finally carrying away a portion of the hat which Mr Dal- rymple wore. He is progressing favourably.—[ The numerous accidents which take place through the mismanagement of fire- arms, especially during the sporting season, have induced us to look into the little book of Mr Bishop, of Bond- street, in which we find some excellent advice for the proper use of the gun.— " Suppose the sportsman," he says, " to have fired one barrel of his gun, and being desirous of reloading the discharged one, he lets down the cock of the loaded one to half- cock. Now, nothing can be more imprudent than this, as it frequently happens that, instead of the scear going into its place, it catches on the edge of the half- bent of the tumbler; with his gun in this state he reloads, and, should he escape an accident from the jar of load- ing, he is sure, when next he fires the refolded barrel, to discharge both. I have even known this to occur in discharging a gun with enfeebled locks, when the explosion of one barrel has caused the scear of the remaining lock to move from its proper position to the edge of the full bent of the tumbler, and the sportsman, unaware of his danger, has reloaded with his gun in this state, and an accident has been the consequence." A great many other useful hints appear in the pages of Mr Bishop's small perform- ance, showing the careful attention he has given to the consider- ation of this subject.] GUY FAWKES DAY.— There were livelier demonstrations in London, on Thursday, in connection with the annual celebration of " the bloody- intended massacre by gunpowder," than have been witnessed for many years past, and the proceedings alto- gether took a more innocent turn than usual, Dr Wiseman, Roman Catholic priests, and others, were forgotten, and in their place the gazing multitude were treated to hideous representa- tions of murderous Sepoys. The principal " Guy" that at- tracted attention was a figure— five or six times the size of life- dressed up in the most extravagant style of theatrical finery, with a blackened face, and a huge placard on its back, with tne words " Nana Sahib, the murderer of women and children at Cawnpore." There were several minor representations of the same figure exhibited in various parts of the metropolis. At St Paul's Cathedral there was a special service and few at- tendants, but in many of the London churches the State Service for the 5th of November was entirely disregarded. ANOTHEB FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.— We have to record the / JootVl MWilliorvi TI „<> U I 11 :„ ui iuesars xxumpurejs, xeuuaiu, iuu uyr^ ca, was lauucueu lrum the Royal Dockyard at Deptford on Monday, under the super- intendence of Mr Cnatfield, master shipwright of the establish- ment.— From the activity displayed in preparing for the steam reserve the screw line- of- battle ships Duke of Wellington, Marl- borough, and Royal Sovereign, three- deckers, and the Victor Emmanuel, Caesar, Algiers, and Hannibal two- deckers, at Ports- mouth, it is supposed that a Channel fleet or squadron of evo- lution is to be commissioned in the early part of the cnsuing year. The Caesar and Hannibal are very forward in their equipments. b- The Diadem, 32, screw carvette, Capt Moorsom, is to be suof mitted to a series of mechanical experiments, with the view.— developing her steam power, her speed being at present very un- satisfactory.— The Spartan, 26, Capt Sir William Hoste, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, has been in commission five years and a half, during which time she has seen much service. She left England in July, 1S52, and arrived at Rangoon during the war in Burmah, January, 1853. Thence she proceeded to Hong Kong, Sir William Hoste having been appointed senior officer on the coast of China; she remained until August of that year, and while there her boats were constantly employed in the suppression of piracy. In August she was sent as senior officer's ship to Shanghai, that place being at the time in possession of the rebels. Her officers and crew were landed aud pel formed garrison duty for the protection of the foreign settlements for six months. She was docked at Whampoa in February, 1854, and then proceeded to Singapore, returning to Hong Kong in May, when Sir W. lloste was again appointedseniorofflcerinChina, During her com mission she has sailed upwards of 70,000 miles. THE TRANSIT.— Commander Ennis Chambers, who com- manded the ill- fated Transit, screw troop- ship, has arrived in England from China. It is very much to be regretted that we have had nothing but the poorest summary of the finding of the court mar till on Commander Chambers and the officers of the Transit. It would have been much more satisfactory to the service, as well as the public, if a full report of the proceedings could have been obtained and published. We copy the following from the Friend of China:—' The court- martial on the officers and crew of the Transit was held on the 29th August, and as a matter of public interest we applied to the correct source to ob- tain a copy of the finding and sentence-. In this we find we have intruded on a rule of the service by which no minute of any finding or sentence of a court- martial is to be giveu— we in our ignorance believing that courts- martial were open courts, and that there were no objections to publish the whole of the trial after the confirmation of the sentence, and that findiugs and sentences are published every day in the English and Indian papers. We are, however, wrong. We might have been there and taken down the whole trial, but the rale of the service as to withholding an authentic copy is imperative; and under this system, in the present instance, just enough has leaked out to the present moment to do mischief in the interests of false- hood, and nothing iu the interests of truth. Not beiug able to obtain the exact finding, we give the following, as containing the spirit, if not the very words. We beg to call the particular attention of shipmasters and others to the fact that the charts published by the Admiralty are asserted by the finding of the court not to be relied on: and yet, doubtless, they are the only charts by which an officer dares to navigate her Majesty's ships. The court are of opinion that the greatest credit is due to Com- mander Chambers, officers, and ship's company of the Transit for the discipline and good order maintained whilst in her dan- gerous position on a sunken rock— for the manner in which the troops were landed, and for the high state of discipline after- wards preserved on shore. That the greatest credit is due to Commander Chambers for the wise discretion exercised by him in not reversing the engines when the ship struck on a rock not marked on the Admiralty charts. The court are also of opinion that too much confidence had been placed in the Admiralty charts, on so small a scale, and the court severely reprimand Commander Chambers and Mr John H. Allard, master, and admonish them to be more careful in future." MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. RECBUITIXG.— On Saturday week nearly 300 recruits from the various recruiting districts in Great Britaiu and Ireland arrived at Chatham Garrison for the purpose of joining the several In- dian depots at the Provisional Battalions. The strength of the garrison at Chatham is about 5,000 men of all ranks, nearly the whole of whom are ready to embark for India and take the field whenever their services are required. The total number of re- cruits who arrived at Chatham during the month of October ex- ceeded 1.500, the whole of whom are being trained for service in India. Oa Tuesday there was another arrival of 100 recruits. THE ROYAL ABTILLEEY.— Her Majesty has been pleased to sign the following commissions in the royal regiment of Artil- lery, and the officers have been posted to the companies stated opposite to their names. The officers who fall to home stations would join their respective companies at such stations on the 4th inst, and those who are posted to companies on foreign service will receive a further cosamunication as to the mode and time of proceeding to their destinations :— Batt.

MOVEMENTS OP TEOOPS.— The 9th Regiment, including 35 officers and 502 men, besides women and children, have arrived from Quebec at Spithead in the Vulcan. On the way home Ensign R. Luard fell from the main deck to the deck below and dislocated his neck, death being instantaneous. The following is a list of the officers who have come home iu the Vulcan :— Colonel Bonton, C. B.; Majors Bethune, Leslie, and Taylor; Captains Heunes, Wilkinson, Terry, and Straubeneee; Lieuts Bloxome, Harvey, Douglas, Hussey, Beresford, Thompson, Bon- ton, Tayler, Vibart, Burland, M'Queen, Elmhirst, Germon, Agnew, and Bolton; Ensigns Plumridge, Ridsdale, Chadwick, Massy, and Bradshaw; Paymaster Sievwright; Quartermaster Banbury; Surgeon Thornton; Assistant Surgeons Owens and Meadows. Captain J ohn Desborough's company of Royal Artil- lery are now under definite orders to leave Sheerness the latter end of this week, to proceed direct to India, in the Indomitable, steamer, fitting out at Woolwich. An officer of the above com- pany is there superintending the shipping of stores, and a lighter is at Sheerness taking in the heavy baggage. The above company are about 190 strong, and are in first- rate order and discipline. They will take out with them all their camp equipage, harness, and guns— in short, everything but the horses, which, of the Arab breed, are most abundant in India. Intelligence has been received at the head- quarters of the Royal Engineers' establish- ment, Chatham, that the 23d company of Royal Engineers, which embarked for China, but were afterwards ordered to India, were on the passage up the Ganges to Allahabad. The whole of the officers and men were in good health and anxious to meet the mutineers. On Friday morning the 29th company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt G. R. Lempriere, left Brompton Barracks, Chatham, and proceeded by railway to Portsmouth, where they relieve the 8th company, ordered to return to head- quarters. The 29th is one of the companies which has been newly raised— its strength is 75 non- commis- sioned officers and men. PEESENTATION OP COLOUES TO THE 68TH.— The 68th Light ufantry, upwards of 1,000 strong, under th i command of Colonel Henry S ® yth, C. B., being ou the eve of embarking fGr India in the steam- ship Australasian, from Portsmouth, were on Thurs- day presented with new colours on Southsea Common by his Royal Highness the Commander- in- Chief. The Commander- in- Chief was received in open square with the general salute, aud the square having been extended the Rev E. W. Milner, garrison chaplain, advanced to the colours and invoked a blessing upon them. His Royal Highness the Commander- in- Chief then ad- vanced on horseback and gave the colours into the hands of Lieutenar t- Colonel Blount and Major Greer, who delivered them over to Lieutenants Grace and De Saunderson. They were in- scribed with the names of " Salamanca," " Vittoria," " Py. renees," " Nivelle," " Orthes," " Peninsula," " Alma," *' In- kermanu," " Sebastopol." The Duke addressed the regiment as follows:—" Officers, non- commissioned officers, and privates of the 68th Light Infantry: I have much pleasure in presenting new colours to a regiment which upon all occasions has dis- tinguished itself whenever brought into action. During the Peninsular War no regiment suffered more, or performed its duties more creditably. Again, in a recent contest which has now become matter of history, on this very day three years ago, I, myself, h id an opportunity of seeing the distinguished gallantry of the 68th. I am persuaded that the same spirit ani- mates the regiment still, and that whenever called upou to meet an enemy in the field it will exhibit the same energy and courage which it displayed at the battle of Inkermann, It is a satisfac- tion to me to see the regiment go out under the command of an officer in whom I have the greatest confidence. I regret that you should be again called upon to leave your native shores after so short a sojourn at home, but the British soldier is always ready to go anywhere and do anything for the honour and glory of his country, and I am sure you will embark as cheerfully for the distant shores of India as no doubt you disembarked when you returned from the Crimea. You are going to a distant part of the world, but I hope you will not relax those strict rules of dis- cipline which so distinguish you while at home. You have my best wishes. I have participated with you in the achievement of great victories, and I hope to hear of your prosperity wherever her Majesty and the country may require your services."

T1.-.. 4. m me jjiuiueuaue part vi tuu meai/ re, throwing among me people all round halfpence and what appeared to bo silver coin. Witness made as quickly for the spot as pos ible and remonstrated with Reynolds, telling him it was folly in him to attempt such a game as that in such a place. This having no immediate effect, he was compelled to take him into custody. He would swear that he had seen him throw down the pieces among the people, intentionally to cause a scramble. Police- constable Richard Turner, 189 A, was on duty in the theatre in plain clothes; saw Reynolds casting away the pieces, and heard him say, as he threw one, " There, there's sixpence, who'll pick it up?" A ring had been formed, and many at- tempted to pick up what the defendant threw down. As some of them stooped to do this Reynolds pushed them over, whereby much mischief and danger were produced. The other de- fendant, Wilson, assisted in forming the ring. On Reynolds being taken into custody, Wilson exclaimed at the top of his voice, " No, no, gentlemen; d it, don't let him be taken!" and did all he could to incite others to attempt a rescue. Reynolds told the magistrate, in answer to the charge, that he really was very sorry, but in truth he only stooped to try after that which others threw ; he had no intention to cause a dis- turbance or be a party to such. He was very respectable, and held a situation in the City ; this being so, he hoped the magis- trate would be lenient with him. He regretted what had " oc- curred. He knew nothing of the other defeudant.— Mr Bing- ham : What is your occupation in the City ?— Defendant: I am a clerk in a merchant's countiug- house.— Mr Stamford Feice, of 48, York- street, Portman square, interceded for the younger de- fendant, Wilson, and informed the magistrate that he was of good family, and the son of a general officer.— Mr Bingham said he had no reason whatever to doubt the accuracy of the evi- dence. The charge was clearly proved. It was an act of gross folly on the part of Reynolds, be would not say malignity. There were some persons who found thair only pleasure in destroying that of others. Wilson, it was shown, had endeavoured to ir£ stigate others to rescue Reynolds from custody. He would make them ashamed of themselves, if possible, and therefore inform them that theirs was exactly the conduct of those who create a disturbance in crowded assemblies for the sole purpose of pick- ing pockets. No doubt they were liable to proceedings for the amount of damage they had caused, and perhaps to indictment for the riot they had originated. Reynolds must find two sureties in £ 50 each for six months, and Wilson be fined 40s. ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE.— At Marylebone, on Wednesday, Michael Scott, a militiaman, and Michael Kaylor, a labourer! were brought before Mr Long charged with assaults of a most ruffianly description on the police. Between six and seven on Tuesday evening the prisoners and a great number of others were drunk and riotous, at the corner of East- street, Manches- ter- square. Bohn, 299 D, desired them to go quietly away, when Kaylor instantly gave him several tremendous blows in the face with his fist. He was laid hold of, upon which Scott came up, and he ( Bohn) was thrown down and nurt severely by the pri- soner Kaylor, who then effected his escape. Lee, 313, Capil, 300, Pollard, 314, and more officers of the D division speedily ar- rived, when some of them sustained much injury, more par- ticularly the officer Lee, who was kicked on the " left eye and head by Scott, who had laid hold of his hair, and dragged him along the ground for many yards. Stones and bricks were flying about in all directions, and it was almost a miraculous circumstauce that more constables were not disabled.— Lee pro- duced a surgeon's certificate, setting forth that, from the severe hurt from the kick on the eye, and from bruises on the head, it would probably be some time before he would be able to resume his duty. The prisoners were ultimately captured. Kaylor had at one period of the affray drawn a long- bladed knife, with which he swore he would rip open the bowels of any one who dared to come near him.— The prisoners were each committed for two months to the Housa of Correction, with hard labour. At Southwark, on Wednesday? Edward Finn, a powerful Irish- man, was charged with committing a murderous assault on Joshua Thomas, police constable, 259 M. He was also charged with being concerned with others in assaulting George Cole, 62 M, while in the execution of his duty. The first constable, whose head was bandaged up, aud who appeared to be very much injured, stated that about half- past two in the morning he heard a disturbaucein Ewer- street, Gravel- lane, and on proceeding there he saw several persons quarrelling together, among whom was the prisoner, who appeared to be the most violent of the lot. As soon as he approached to quell the disturbance, he received several blows, aud was knocked down. While on the ground the prisoner kicked him several times on the body, and as he was endeavouring to recover himself some one threw a chamber utensil at him from a window, and it struck his head, cutting him in a frightful manner. At that time the prisoner escaped, but ou another constable coming up they forced an entry into his house and took him into custody.— Mr Burcham asked him if he was much hurt ?— He replied that he was. As soon as the prisoner was secured he went to the divisional surgeon, who dressed his wounds aud sent him home to bed. The doctor could not tell the extent of the injuries at present, thinking it better to let them remaiu for a little while. He was, however, in much pain, and unable to perform his duty.— Cole, the second constable, whose face was much disfigured, said that a little before three o'clock his attention was attracted to a disturbance and cries for assistance in Ewer- street. He proceeded there, and found last witness on the ground, the prisoner holding him and kicking him. Witness seized the prisoner by the collar to pull him away, when a mob collected around him and he was pulled into the passage of a house and the door shut against him. He caught hold of the prisoner to secure him, when he said if he did not let him go he would kick his head off. He then escaped, but afterwards he assisted last witness in securing him. The mob at the time was so violent that he really wondered that murder had not been committed.— In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he was attacked by a party who lived near nim, whom he got away from and escaped into his house. He denied being the party who assaulted either of the constables.— Mr Burcham told him that the constable had been most seriously assaulted, and any amount of punishment he could inflict would not be adequate. He should, therefore, commit him for trial to answer the two charges. STBEET BETTING.— At Marlborough- street, on Wednesday, James Eadie, a betting- man, was charged with creating an obstruction in Tottenham Court- road.— Police- constable Gordon said a great many complaints had been made by the inhabitants on account of betting- men congregating in certain thoroughfares to make their horse- racing bets. He was in Tottenham Court- road that day, when he saw the defendant with a betting- book and a pencil in his hand, surrounded by thirty or forty betting- men. He told the defendant to go away, as he was creating an obstruction. The defendant refused, and he took him into custody. The defendant said he did not intend to commit any offence, nor was he aware that he had done wrong.— Mr Beadon said his colleague and himself had repeatedly stated what the law on the question was ; and he could assure all parties con- cerned that where a case was brought within the reach of the act he would inflict the heaviest penalty. He should require the defendant to enter into his own recognisances to be of good be haviour fcr the future. The defendant, having done this, was liberated. DE DE JONGH'S LIGHT- BROWN COD LIVEE OIL, by universal admission, is not only the best and purest, but the only kind which can uniformly be relied upon, and which does n t, liketiie pale oil, produce nausea, indigestion, and bilious derangement. Dr Radclyffe Hall, the eminent physician to the Torquay Hos- pital for Consumption, observes—" I have found Dr De Jough's Cod Liver Oil to agree better with the digestive organs, espe- cially with those patients who consider themselves to be bilious." Dr De Jongh's oil is sold only in imperial half pints, 2s 6d; pints, 4s 9d ; quarts, 9s ; capsuled and labelled with his stamp and signature, without which none are genuine, by Ansar, Har- ford, and Co, sole British consignees, 77, Strand, London ; and in the country by most respectable ohemists.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE- FBIDAY. The improved tone from the provinces did not appear to influence the Wheat trade at Mark- lane this morning; but Monday's prices were sup- ported. Barley a slow sale, at about previous currencies. The excess of Irish Oats upon the market, augmented by free imports from abroad, keeps the trade is a very uncertain state; for, although factors were willing to accept lower rates, dealers were not tempted to go into stock. Pulse was rather cheaper than otherwi e ; but Flour remained firm.— The current prices, per ^ r.— British:— Wheat, Essex, Kent, ai: d Sufioik, » cite, 4? s to 50s; ditto, fine s& lected runs, & ls to 55s{ cutto red, Ws to 50s; ditto, TalaVera, 54= to 60s; Norfolk.

SEED MARKET.— The stringency of the Money Market has caused Linseed to deciiue about 3s per qr„ where sales are pressed. Cloverseed remains stationary, without much pasting in any description. Canary- seed in short supply, and the demand limited at rather lower rates. The great mercantile gloom of the past week is passing away, and a little more confidence is shoeing itself in the corn trade. There is more dis- position to purchase most articles, and the worst seems over. .

PROVISION MARKET.— The arrivals last week from Ireland were 9,156 firkins Butter aud 1,570 bales Bacon, and lrom Foreign porta 6,580 casks Butter and SS9 bales Bacon. In Irish Butter, with the excep- tion of some sales in damaged Tralee at 98s to 100s, anything else done was quite in a retail way, and to meet pressing wants, prud « nt houses wishing to make their liabilities light as possibly, do not press sales. Fine qualities of Foreign Butter meet a brisk inquiry, aud prices have advanced. We quote fine Friesland 122s per cwt. In English Butter . here is little doing ; fine Dorset continues firm; Devon is cheaper. Of fresh Butter, for the time ol year, the supply is remarkably good, and the quality is also satisfactory. The sale" of the article is, however, slow. The following are the prices:— Doi set fine new milk 126s, to 126s, ditto middling 100s to 102s Od, Devon 114s to 116s- Fresh 12s to 15s per per doz. The business in Irish Bacon has been small, and prices are materially lower. The stock of American Middles is small, but the quality is quite inferior, so that very little inquiry is made after them, lt is expected, that owing to th. e disasters now prevailing in American, shipments of all kinds are few, but good supplies will come eventually. Lard is in better supply, at a reduction of 2s. per cwt. The demand tor Cheese has been dull the past week for all kinds, and to effect sales lower prices had to be submitted to, say is per cwt, and interior 6s to 8s. The supplies continue large, and stocks are still on the increase. Prices as follow:— Cheddar, new, 67s. to 78s; ditto middling — s to— s ditto loaf, 66s to 72s: Wilts loaf. 62s to 72s; ditto double, 58s to 68s ditto thin, 54s to 64s; ditto pines, 76s to — e; ditto skim, 28a to 38b Cheshire, 62s to 76s; double Gloucester, 58s to 66a per cwt. POTATO MARKETS, FBIDAS.— The arrivals of Potatoes sines Mon- day, coastwise and by railway, have been moderate at the Borough aud Spitalfields markets, and desaand continues inactive. The imports from abroad have ueen extensive.— York Regents 140s to 16os per ton, Kent and Essex Regents 120s to 14" s, Scotch Regents — a to — s, middlings 70a to 8f> s, Lincolns UOsto 120a, blues 120s. HOP MARKET, BOEOCGH.— The general state of the trade is without material alteration since our last report, the countiy demand being still of a limited character, i et on the whale the tone of the market is some- what more firm than of late. With respect to the ordinary descriptions of Hops and the slight relaxation of demand for the best gilding growths, which occurred about ten days ago, is no longer observable; on the contrary, a few very choice and fine lots which have been brought forward during the past week have met with a ready sale at fully as high figures as at any previous period of the season. Currency as follow;— - New Weald of Kent and Sussex pockets, per cwt, 65s to 84s; new Middle Kent pockets, ditto, 9iis to > 15s. WOOL MARKET, FBIDAX.— Since our last report scarcely any busi- neaa has been reported in any kind of English Wool. The trade incon- sequence is excessively heavy, and to eflect sales a considerable reduc- tion in price must be submitted to. The supply on offer not extensive.— Fleeces— Southdown hogs £ 1910s to £ 20 0B, die to halt- bred hogs £ 21 to £ 19, ditto Kent £ 19 10s to £ 19 10s, ditto Soathdown ewes and wether £ 18sto £ 18s 10, ditto Leicester ditto £ 17 0s to £ 18 0a.

SPOUTING CHRONICLE. [ TOWN EDITION.] THE TUSF, BETTING AT TATTERSAIL'S. MONDAY, Nov 2.— The Newmarket Beetling drew a large attendance at " the Corner," and occupied so much attention that scarcely any opportunity was afforded for betting upon forthcoming events. Our list of prices, consequently, is rather meagre. Complaints were made of the absence of several ac- counts, and also of the general " tightness" of the money market, which is not to be wondered at, perhaps, considering the state of financial affairs in the City, occasioned by the present high rate of discount.

THE CASE OF MESSRS LAMBERT AND SIDEB0TT0M. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, NOVEMBEB 5. [" Sittings in Banco before Lord CAMPBELL and Justices COLEBIDGE, WIGHTMAN, and EBLBJ LAMBEBT Y SIDEBOTTOM.— This case— the parties to which are well known in the sporting world— was tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the last assizes for Surrey, and was an interpleader issue to try the validity of a bill of sale of the lease of a house and a large quantity of furniture, valued at £ 2,400, which had been executed by James Adkins to the plaintiff, Mr George Lambert. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr Bovill, Q. C. ( with him Mr Needham), now moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, and of the verdict being against evi- dence. It was an interpleader issued to try the right to certain goods which had been seized by t& e Sheriff of Middlesex, under an execution obtained by the plaintiff against James Adkins. The goods were at Wintersoll- house, Brompton, and at the time of the seizure were in the undoubted and undisputed possession of Mr Lambert, the plaintiff, who had purchased the lease of the kouse from Adkins, paid the money, duly registered the assignment, and no dispute arose at the trial as to the bona fide nature of this transaction. With regard to the goods, it was proved that they had been absolutely sold by Adkins to the plaintiff, that the money was paid, and that posses- sion was taken on a certain day prior to the execution. The defendant said that the sale was colourable and fraudulent, and for the secret benefit of Adkins. The transaction respecting the goods was this :— Adkins became notorious as a person princi- pally concerned in an action which was tried before Christmas last in this cosrt, and in which Mr Sidebottom was sued, by a Mr Culverwell on some bills of exchange given for money won at gaming, and, as it appeared on the trial, won by false dice and other means. The verdict in that case passed for the de- fendant, and subsequently Mr Sidebottom brought an action against Adkins to recover the money he had lost, and a prose- cution was also threatened against him for using false dice. An attempt was made to show that his client ( Mr Lambert) was an intimate acquaintance of Adkins, and was in the practice of gambling with him, but it entirely failed, and not a single word was said against his character. He originally kept a public- house in Charles- street, St James's, was connected with the Turf, and he also swore distinctly— and the defendant had the means of contradicting him if it was untrue— that he never gam- bled. It appeared that Adkius, who was living abroad, applied to Mr Padwick for a loan on the lease and furniture. Mr Pad- wick declined to advance any money, but recommended Lam- bert, with whom he was intimate, to enter into negotiations with Adkins on the subject, and ultimately Lambert purchased both, giving £ 500 for the lease, and £ 800 for the furniture. This transaction took place on the 18th of June. The actios against Adkins was tried on the 22d of the same month. The learned counsel referred in detail to the evidence, and contended that there was nothing to impeach the veracity of his client, and that a verdict which fixed him with having entered into a fraudulent transaction for the purpose of benefiting Adkins, with whom he had no intimacy, ought not to stand. He also contended that there had been misdirection in leaving the case to the jury. The Chief Baron ought to have asked them to say whether the sale to the plaintiff was bona fide, or merely colourable ; instead of which he had called upon them to find whether or sot the plaintiff ought not to have called Adkins and other witnesses to show the nature of the transaction. He ( Mr Bovill) submitted that for the above reasons Mr Lambert was at least entitled to a rule, and to have the matter further investigated. Lord CAMPBELL said he was of opinion that the court ought not to grant a rule. The summing up of the Chief Baron was quite unexceptionable. He had drawn no proposition which made it incumbent on the jury to find the verdict which they returned; he substantially called ou them to consider whether, under all the circumstances of the sale, there had been a bona fide transfer of the property from Adkins to Lambert. The Chief Baron seemed to have a strong impresssion in his mind that the proceeding was fraudulent, but he did not take upon himself to decide the case, but left the matter to be determined by the opinion of the jury, who were the constitutional judges, and if the jury had not concurred with him they would have found the verdict the other way. Looking at the whole evi- dence, he ( Lord Campbell) could not say the jury had come to a wrong conclusion, and he therefore thought the verdict ought not to be disturbed. Mr Justice COLERIDGE said he believed there was no dif- ference in the opinion of the court as to the case, but it was very possible, although the plaintiff might not have been mixed up in any dishonourable transaction, that the fact of his being acquainted with Adkins, who was a dishonourable person, might have led to all which had passed between them being viewed through the medium of strong suspicion. Therefore, although it might be difficult to say that the jury, exercising an inde- pendent opinion upon the matter, would have arrived at a dif- ferent conclusion, yet the case was so left to them that it was extremely probable they had adopted the suspicions with which the Chief Baron looked at all the evidence and circumstances, and found a verdict not exactly on grounds striotly justifiable ; and he confessed he would be better pleased if the case under- went another inquiry. Mr Justice WIGHTMAN and Mr Justice EBLE concurred in the opinion expressed by Lord Campbell, and thought that the " question of the bona fide transfer of the property should have been left to the jury, and that therefore there was no reason why the verdict should be disturbed. Rulo refused accordingly. THE LATE NEWMABKET HOUGH- TON AND FORTHCOMING LIVER- POOL AUTUMN MEETINGS. TO THE EDITOR OE BELL'S LIES IN LONDON. SIB: The late meeting at Newmarket, which was brought to a clese on Saturday at sunset, has been distinguished not only for the abundance of its sport but also by the important incidents which marked each day's running. Generally speaking, the Newmarket Meetings have but two or three races of real interest to the general public. For instance, the Craven relies upon the Newmarket Handicap, Column, and Port for its attractions ; the First Spring is dependent upon the Two Thousand, One Thousand, and Newmarket Stakes ; the July would be a dead letter without the stake named after it and the Chesterfield. Ia the First October, beyond the Eastern Counties Handicap, Hopeful, set of Triennials, and Grand Duke Michael, the list is almost a blank ; and in the Second October, with the exception of the Cesarewitch, the Clearwell and Prendergrast, there is seldom a race to engage more than momentary attention. But in the recent Houghton there was not a single day in which there was not some unusual feature of interest, and it will be long, I fear, ere we again witness such a succession of impor- lant events, and close and exciting finishes decided in so satisfactory a manner. Your own report of the meeting has embraced so fully all its leading incidents that my task has been curtailed of half its importance, and I shall only, there- fore, notice those races which are likely to have a bearing upon future events, and serve for discussion during our " long vacation." First for the Criterion, which although it produced the largest field on record and was won in a canter, failed to have much effect upon the Derby betting, although before now horses that have run second and third have become permanent Epsom favourites. Happy Land's " revival" by William Day was as fortunate a hit as revivals of another description in Oxford- street, but although he is game to the backbone and a capital goer I am afraid he is not of sufficient calibre for a Derby horse, and those behind him now were not of a class to recommend your readers to invest their money on this Happy Land. The customary " trial" Handicap, over the Cambridge- shire Course, which invariably precedes the Criterion, gave us a far more conclusive guide to the great secret of the ensuing day, than the Cesarewitch did on the previous week; and when Odd Trick, carrying 71b more than he had to do in the great event, won in such a common canter the only matter for sur- prise was why he did not at once become first favourite for the Cambridgeshire. But prejudice, I presume, proved stronger than calculation and consequently Mr Parr's horse remained at a price which best pleased himself and friends. Saunterer's and Anton's Match promised to have been a closer affair than it looked; but the temper of the latter is so ob- viously gone, from the incessant work he has been doing throughout the year, that the winner's victory must not be looked upon too kindly. Oa Tuesday, one might naturally have anticipated a larger attendance to have witnessed a Cambridgeshire to which iuch unusual interest was attached. The race, like the Cesarewitch, again negatived all public running, although the exhibition was not so glaring as in the Cesarewitch, for according to the trial of Mcestissima with Katherine Logie and Uzella there was no animal in the race made so safe by Mr Merry's mare as Odd Trick; and it was in no small measure to that circum- stance that the stable maintained their confidence in Mcestissima to the last, thereby ridiculing the absurd opinions expressed by those who " potted" the mare on the supposed ground that she was lame. It speaks highly for Mr Parr's judgment and preparation and " placing" of his horses that he should win this great handicap, for which all the " crack" stables have been trying throughout the year, by animals with whom he has been " plating" all over the pro- vinces. Whether his chance was aided by the accidents which occurred both to El Hakim and . Tricolour it is impossible to determine, but common sense tells us they could not have been improved by the visitations of Fanny Gray's heels. The dis- appointment to the noble owner of Tricolour was especially mortifying, as the mare was hardly recognisable as the ragged weed we saw in the spring, and her temper appeared to be like that of a sheep. Prioress ( who had to lament the loss of her victorious Cesarewitch " pilot"), as I suggested to your readers, was obliged to content herself with the Cesarewitch, and the fatuity of her backers in sticking to her for a race for which she did not possess one single qualification forcibly brought to mind the Nancy mania which pauperised Beverley some few years back, and which not even pulpit eloquence could allay. Saun- terer's position was certainly the chef d'eeuvre of his racing career, and in the annals of the Turf there is no parallel to his performance, which certainly justifies the confidence ex- pressed by his trainer beforehand, that the Derby resolved itself into a question of kealth for him. Mademoiselle de Chantilly ran most respectably, considering the casualties which occurred to her before crossing the Channel, and her forward place, coupled with the subsequent victories of Ronzi and Chevrette, will be certain to encourage the " French division" to repeat their visit. When the Cambridgeshire is considered in all its bearings it is not too much to say that it will bear comparison with all the great handicaps of the year, and by its termination, perhaps, give the greatest satisfaction of any. Mr Thornhill, let us add, made the same handsome present of £ 200 to Fordham, as he did to the rider of the winner last year. The " Feather Plate" was only remarkable for the close fight made by the young ones over so long a Journey, anu the exhibition Of a FlaccatchSl' that could stay. Wednesday's card was of copious dimensions, but beyond the defeat of Mainstay by Heroine, the proceedings in the Council Chamber of the Jockey Club were of far greater importance to the general public than the doings on the Heath. That the attempt to do away with the p. p. betting would be unsuccessful was generally anticipated from the known sentiments of the members who took part in the debate, and » s there was a " dead heat" on the last occasion when the question went to a division, and now a majority of five against it, the measure, instead of having progressed in public estimation, seems to have so far re- ceded that its revival looks improbable. At the same time it may be seen how ineffectual is General Peel's measure for re- straining betting on handicaps prior to the publication of the weights by the quotations against horses for the Chester Cup. within four- and- twenty hours after the resolution of the Club was given to the world ! Such an exhibition of antagonism is to be regretted, as it is a weak sign for the executive to be unable to enforce its own authority; and I apprehend it will be found in the end that the custom of the Ring, like that of a place, will of itself constitute a law not to be shaken by new regulations. On Thursday, Lord William Powlett's race could hardly have been more interesting, even if the full intentions of the noble lord had been carried into effect, for the merits of Fisherman and Skirmisher over this distance of ground was a subject that was most desirable to have decided. That the young one should have to make his own ruaning after having been off for some time was, of course, as great a disadvantage to him as it was serviceable to Fisherman, with whom Wells had only to follow direct in Skirmisher's track to beat him when he pleased. Should they, however, meet again in the Ascot Cup, which is by no means improbable, I shall be fully prepared to see this running reversed. Dead heats in the Glasgow are more frequent than in any other race at Newmarket, and Gourd's victory was a pleasant wind up to the career of a nobleman whose colours we hope will soon be seen on the Heath again. In the Free Handicap Commotion's Leger form brought him home, Fordham's opposition with St Giles being too formidable to allow of the stable's declaration to win with Lord Nelson being carried out; whilst Anton's temper was again in his way. Friday gave us two well- contested " Classes" for the Nur- sery, and the " Palace Stable" this year proved a match for John Osborne, whose " farming" of this stake for so many seasons s hould not cause him to mourn over his defeat now. The affinity between, the winners of the two " classes" is not a little curious, Lucca della Robbia ( a dreadful puzzler for the Ring) being a son of Weathergage, and Pampa a daughter of Weatherbit, the grandsire of the " lucky robber." The great Match between Uzella and Commotion, wherein the latter was engaged to give away his year and 181b over the Cambridgeshire course, served to keep up the excitement of this memorable and unparalleled afternoon's sport to the last. This match was made early in the week by the owner of the horse giving a " pony" for the call of a thousand even up to Thursday night, and after Commotion's easy victory in the Handicap Mr Barber " declared on," but it was too great a thing to ask his horse to accomplish, as the result proved. Saturday's racing was of the same excellent character as that witnessed during the previous day, and " the best thing" of the meeting undoubtedly was Zuyder Zee for the Houghton Handicap, wherein the latter successfully inaugurated his con nectionwith the Bretby stable. Heroine and Polly Peachum's Match, quite as exciting as the latter's encounter with Mainstay, was one ef the closest ever seen on the Heath, and to the eye it seemed as if the pair were never unlocked throughout tfce race; and after this severe bout, the defeat of " Mr Robinson's" mare by Happy Land might be fairly calculated upon, for fillies don't like coming too often, and the Criterion running showed Lord Ribblesdale's colt had a little the best of the weight. Beyond the above events I be- lieve few points of interest occurred which I have left untouched, and in concluding my reminiscences of the Houghton, I have only to hope that next year they may be of an equally favourable description as those which I have now described. Before finally quitting the subject, however, I would draw attention to a ques- tion that arose in one of the selling races on the last day, the importance of which to owners of horses it is impossible to gain- say. After claiming the winner, the owner of the second horse also claimed a beaten horse, but his right to do so was opposed by the owner of the horse that ran third, on the ground that nobody could claim more than one until after the remainder had exercised their prerogative. The case awaits the decision of the Stewards. The Liverpool Autumn Meeting, which occupies Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the forthcoming week, is the last of these popular gatherings which Mr Tspham will provide during the present season, and as his great Autumn Cup was such a deserved success last year, there is no fear of its degene- rating in public estimation now. The value © f the additional day in which the present meeting rejoices is to be estimated, but from the enormous demand made upon the lessee it is quite natural he should adopt every means of repaying himself for his , expenditure. The programme contains no fewer than nineteen races, six each being set for Tuesday and Wednesday, and seven for Thursday, which, considering the shortness of the days, is as many as is desirable. The starting item is the Aintree Plate, for which twenty- seven animals are handicapped, and I should be inclined to give the preference to Master Bagot or Flyaway. The Croxteth Welter Cup has ten " left in," and Tom Dawson or The Sluggard look like furnishing the winner. The Knowsley Nursery has the excellent entry of thirty- two names, and is certain to furnish the starter with a good field. The winner I think will be found amongst the light weights, and King William and Tom Dawson's representative are most to be feared. Wednesday commences with the Corinthian Scurry, of which Red White and Blue or Chester may prove the winner. The Seftou Handicap will depend much upon previous running, but on paper Special License and Englemere read well. On Thursday, the Great Autumn Cup, from the flattering nature of the handicap, bids fair to attract as many competitors to Aintree as figured in the race last year. Although trainers are not over partial to keeping their horses at work in so late a period of the year, still the value of this handsome prize is temptation enough to give those who are in form one more effort of paying for the winter hay aud corn ; therefore I am led to believe the field will be extensive, enough to make book- making good and profitable. Those that have been backed for it are Maid of Derwent, St Giles, Underkand, Cots- wold, Wardermarske, and Sneeze, and before the flag falls this list will be extensive'y increased. Fisherman many think has a chance, but he is more powerful in weight for age races than in handicaps, where, if the pace is good, the three year olds invariably beat him. Yandal's favourite course is t wo miles, and Tournament very properly heads the young ones. The weight won't crush him, but there are those below him who are more dangerous over tkis course. Maid of Derwent won't" try," even when wanted, although she last year beat the Cambridgeshire winner very easily for this race. Riseber's being in form I doubt, otherwise the Free Handicap last week would have tempted him, and it is apparent that the stable relies upon Special Licence " legalising" their possession of the Cup. St Giles, at Newmarket, was clearly not the same animal that beat Skirmisher at Northampton, otherwise I should have fancied him very much, but now I must give the preference to Underhand, whose Newcastle running and long rest render him the most dangerous competitor in the list, aud, barring ac- cidents, the Northumberland Plate winner, I thiuk, will lay ' hands" on this Cup also. El Hakim will be stale with his recent work, and the course is shorter than he fancies; whilst Cotswold has been fitted both with weight and distance. Ascot showed us he had speed, and Hereford that he could stay, and upon paper he looks so much better than any- thing in the race, that I shall be disappointed if he is not " busy" at the finish. Baski Bazouk was not backed with confidence in the Cambridgeshire, and from what we saw of his condition at Newmarket I do not expect Mr Jones will add the Autumn to the Spring and Summer Cups which his horse won over this course. Apathy'srunning is too curious for any one to fathom. Wardermarske's performance at Lincoln with Warlock, entities him to respect, but from a slight demonstra- tion which has been made in favour of Sneeze, it is doubtful whether Wardermarske will, be the champion of Middleham. Borderer went " all to nothing" after Nottingham, and Queen Bess looks very difficult to beat, if her Newmarket and Scotch races don't affect her. December may represent as last year William Day's lot; but though turned loose his want of pace makes me distrust him. Sir Humphrey, the feather, is the only one of the remainder with a chance, but the difficulty of getting a boy to ride the weight neutralises the value of his otherwise light impost. In conclusion, I believe the claims of tUnderhand, Cotswold, aud Queen Bess are the most formidable, and to them I leave the race, giving the slightest preference to Underhand. The Liverpool and Grand Stand Nurseries, two Handicap Plates, and a couple of Selling Stakes complete the racing on Aintree for the present year, and until March we bid a cordial adieu to its enterprising lessee.— Yours, & c, OBSERVES.

[ From our Latest Edition of last week.] SATURDAY.— The successful character of the meeting was fully maintained to the last, and the maguificence of the weather attracted a large show of company who were amply recompensed for " staying it out," by an interesting aud excellent day's sport, several of the races being remarkable for extraordinary close finishes—" heads" and " necks" the order of the day. The sports commenced with a Selling Handicap won by T. P. Cooke, and the Rowley Mile Two Year Old Handicap— a rechauffe of the Nurseries— which followed, wa3 arried off by Lord Clifden's Rose of Cashmere colt, the Glenluce colt, who was a great " pot," having thrown his backers over by " whipping round," in a contrary direction directly after starting. The Match between Polly Peachum and Heroine created intense excitement and the Danebury " flyer" at last had her wings clipped. They laid 6 and 7 to 4 on Heroine in the Ring, but after Polly had twice shown an aversion to face the flag by bolting as far as the Ditch stables, the odds increastd to 2 to 1, and Bray having very good naturedly given Dales his side, in ordor to keep the refrac- tory one in the course, an even start was secured. The struggle was long, severe, aud most gamely contested, both juckeys being " hard" upon their mares all the way up the cords, and victory was awarded to Polly by a head. The Houghton Handicap turned out a " real good thing" for Zuyder Z^ e, whose fine turn of speed served him upon this course. Secundabeat a large field for one of the two remaining selling races ; the other resulted in a dead heat bst ween a brace of stable companions— Peter Flat aud Marauder— whose owners subsequently divided ; and the Handicap across the Fiat was won by Little Tom. Heroine was brought out a second time to ruu her Match with Happy Land, but out of her distance on the T. Y. C. and against a fresh opponent ; she was again defeated. A Match between Leontes aud Queen Lily which was won easily by the former, brought this uuparalleled week's sport to a couclusion ; aud to the officials— Messrs Clarke, Hibburd, Manning, aud Starling— we must pay a just compli- ment, for the very able manner in which they discharged their arduous duties. A SELLING HANDICAP SWBEPSTAKES of 15 sovs each, 5 ft if declared, & c, for two year olds and upwards; the winner to be sold for 120 sovs if demanded, & c; A. E. C.

They ran in pretty close order, Queen Lily and La Fille du Regiment showing slightly in advance into the Abingdon mile bottom, when Queen Lily dropped back, aud the race was left to La Fille du Regiment, Swale, Greenwich Fair, and the Rose © f Cashmere colt, the latter of whom came out with a clear lead, but swerved to the left in rising the hill, and the others running straight, the fiat was a head only in favour of Lord Clifden's colt. La Fille du Regiment beating Ssvaie by the same; Greenwich Fair was fourth, finishing very close up, Admiralty was fifth two lengths off, aud the other three beaten six lengths. The favourite, who was rather lidgetty and hau to be led to the post, got off with the others, but whipped round before he had gone two strides, and was left behind. Run in lmin 55sec.

NOVEMBER, Swir. ford,,,., ,,....,.. 10 WORCESTER AUTUMN MEETING. Stewards : Viscount Elmley, F. W. Knight, Esq, Colonel Rush- out, J. H. H. Foley, Esq, Osman Rioardo, Esq, aud William Laslett, Rsq. Honorary Clerk of the Course : Mr W. Webb. Judge: Mr Johnson ( York). Starter : Mr G. Calloway. Everybody acquainted with " autumn" meetings has doubt- less some time had a taste of the wet, vapour, and mud, common to November, but few probably would care to brave again the gloom and" dripping" accompaniments that settledonthe ' faith- ful citie" during Tuesday and Wednesday last. This kept away of residents ia go populous a distriat af which Worces- ter forms the centre; but as relates to sporting characters ( game to the last), the muster, especially on the steeple day, was de- cidedly above the average. Besides fair acceptances for old standing dishes, capital entries for other events pertaining to the different schools left nothing to be desired in the provision of sport, two or three " windfalls" in the selling way also fetch- ing up deficiencies arising from causes already referred to. The small fields latterly showing for the steeple chase had brought under consideration the adoption of reduced entrances and forfeits, as being more accommodating to jumpers as times go; but as owners were uncomplaining it was eventually resolved not to break the old charter until, at all events, allowing it one more trial, and, curiously enough, those who paid up full stakes now exceeded those of last and previous years. The provision of flat racing on the second day, aud the transfer of the hurdle race to the first, were new and highly judicious features in the arrangements, and materially improved competition compared with the results of last season. In fact, no stone is left unturned annually to devise attractions or to preserve for the meetings that honourable status so well earned by the present active and disinterested management. Heavy rain during the whole of Monday ni « ht rendered the course sulficiently rotten without a second edition of the trou- blesome outpour, which recommenced an hour before noon on Tuesday, and n « ver ceased till nightfall The first race was set for half- past one, prior to which a " telegram" had been re- ceived from the metropolitan division, en route, requesting that the sport might be delayed for their arrival at 2: 15. Compliance with the request would have risked running in the dark, scarcely avoided even by starting at the appointed times ; which was ac- cordingly determined upon, whilst the presence of the Londoners was additionally retarded by the express itself being half- au- hour behind time. Consequently, they did not get to the course until two of the items were decided, first the T- vo aud Three Y- ar Old Sweepstakes, which proved an easy win for Lord Nelson, and next the Juvenile Handicap, wherein the favourites ran out at a critical part of the race, and Sobieski pulled through iu acanter. The ground by this time was very deep in mud and slush, and as the rain kept OH with unabated fury, things were anything but pleasant for the ten sporting silk for the Autumu Handicap. Weatherglass remained firm in the Ring to the close, though Laodamia— a first- rater in dirt— carried a, heap of mousy. We have particularised below how the latter made a wretched example of her opponents, some of whom could not move in the mire, a plentiful bespattering of which had rendered useless the optics of the lads rearward, aud quite oblite- rated all traces of recognition. The race was so far a prototype of Odiham's and Polestar's years, 1S52 and 1555, when each similarly cautered iu solus through heavy ground ; and it is further noticeable in the fact that both met the same number of runners as Laodamia, and that Polestar aud the latter came from the same stable. A " near thing" for the Sell- ing Stakes succeeded between Rotterdam aud Amorous Boy, won by the latter, though another stride or two might have reversed the decision. Cliff's stable next threw in a third main for the Hurdle Race with Heads or Tails, who rattled famously through the dirt, bowling over Evington Lass and half a dozen others, and so terminated the first afternoon's proceedings, which both on th6 course and afterwards were unmarKed with the least transaction aueut the steeple chases. A bleak nor' easter springing up added discomfiture to the visitors on Wed- nesday, when owing to a temporary cessation of the rain in the forenoon, the ground, if not quite so sloppy, was nevertheless very deep and " holding." Business was resumed with a new Handicap Plate, entrances to go to the secoad horse. Eleven out of the nineteen entered went to the post, and afforded a magnificent struggle with the quartette placed, Jane, a " hot- un," in the Ring, only . landing her backers by a neck. A large field also showed for the Flying Handicap, but nearly three- parts of an hour were cut to waste through Ella twice breaking away and galloping over such a distance of ground that at length it was resolved not to start her. We have rarely seen the flag lowered to a prettier start, the whole troop literally charging in liue to the commencement of the rails, from whence Little Gerrard looked all over a winner, but the boy raising his whip at the finish, the rogue shut up instanter, and Admiral of the White ( admirably ridden by Ducker, and not supported for a shilling) landed the coup by the shortest of heads. But little time was occupied in preliminaries for the Eighteenth Grand Annual, next on the card. By recent admeasurement the old line was found to be four miles and a quarter; so by shifting the starting post from the bottom of the long length to opposite the judge's box, exactly four miles were now gone over. Forest Queen and Minor had friends, the latter leaving off with tho call, but, save the 5 to 1 taken freely about Theodirie, specula- tion was not particularly brisk, it being frequently remarked prior to, and even during the concluding pare of the journey, that " it was anybody's race!" Be this as it may, iu the de- ciding struggle, terminating in favour of Theodiue, will be re- corded the finest thing of the kind yet produced oa this course, alike creditable to the skill and energy of the defeated and win- ning jockey, as well as contributing another to the already numerous successes of Mr Land over the Worcester country. Hindiey, as at Warwick, fell whilst going within himself, the only casualty, and that not serious, which occurred during the meeting— rather a marvellous circumstance, considering the boggy condition of the liue throughout. A Selling Chase, won by The Farmer, placed 60 guineas to the fund by his sale; and Laverna pulled off the Hunt Stakes just in time to catch the evening expresses. The honorary secretary, Mr W. Webb, his obliging assistant, Mr T. Ellis, the esteemed chairman, Mr J. M'Millan, and the entire official staff, were never more efficient in their respective departments, despite the annoying aud ad- verse weather, which held on to the close.

The favourite, with Mitraille at his side, made play for about half a mile, when the latter took up the running, his lordship going on second, Barbarity ( last from the post) drawing into third place, D'Arcy and tire grey next well up, Chaperone, taking a liue to herself, already tailed off. They ran thus to the cerds, where Mitraille shot Lis bolt, and Lord Nelson thence coming on by himself won iu a cauterbya length, half a length divided second and third, and a head each third, fourth, and fifth; the two year old fitly beaten a long way.

Salt 6 Betting : 5 to 2 agst Weatherglass, 9 to 2 agst Laodamia, 6 to 1 agst Kenerdy, and 100 to 15 agst Miss Harkaway. The flag fell to an excellent start at the first attempt, Dusty Miller, Curious, and Weatherglass being first off, and the former taking a clear lead at the Stand, was succeeded by Laodamia, Bel Esperanza, and Curious, Miss Harkaway lying next, the favourite aud Hob- goblin close up with her, Kenerdy and The Dupe bringing up the rear. Turning into the bottom Laodamia went up to the leader, who, however, when clear of the Infirmary bend beyond, was again viewed in full possession of the command, the Hednesford mare biding her time at bis heels along the far side, where Bel Esperanza splashed on third, with Weatherglass and Curious in attendance:— the next lot, headed by Kenerdy, presenting a considerable tail, at the extreme of which were The Dupe and Blue Bell. The latter shut up in toto on reaching , the fiat, where Cresswell having already taken his share of the mud beplastering, put her head round, aud returned to the paddock. We could make out no change amongst the forward division until passing the half- mile post at the water side, where Dusty Miller dropped away, and Bel Esperanza took up the running, followed to the far turn by Lacdamia, who getting round it " a good deal the quickest, immediately gave her horses the slip, was not approached afterwards, aud won in a trot by ten lengths. There being nothing for secsnd, it was doubtful to the upper end of the enclosure which, out of half a dozen, would go in for that barren honour, when Curious, fairly run to a stand- still with the others, made a final spurt, came from the rear, and beat Bel Esperanza by half a length. Close up with the latter Kenerdy and Miss Harkaway were respectively fourth and fifth. Hobgoblin was sixth, Weatherglass next, and Dusty Miller last, The Dupe having been stopped about half a mile from home. Ruu in 4min 15sec.

The lat ter, waited on by Amorous Boy aud the favourite, took up the run- ning directly after startiug and carried it on to half way over the flat leading to the straight, where the quartette took close order. In the ' next fifty yards Amorous Boy quitted his horses aud soon obtained a strong lead to the half distance, whence all Oustanee's efforts to overhaul him proved unavailing, and he was defeated by. a neck ; two lengths separated second and third; Welham well up. Run in 2min 39sec. The winner was sold for 51 guineas to Mr Evans, and goes into E. Weaver's stable at Kinnersley. Agra was claimed for Mr Woodhouse.

Lots of cantering and jumping preceded the start, perhaps rather more of the latter than was pleasant for the rider of Earthstopper, who encountered a mud- bath to begin with through the auirnal getting to grief at the distance hurdles, whilst on the way to the post. The horse broke away for the far end of the ham, and, as it was literally raiuiag ct. ts and dogs at the time, Nightingall, on The Farmer, by way of expediting affairs, started iu pursuit of the riderless one, effected a speedy capture, brought him back, and Eatweil having remounted, tho troops were directly under weigh, with Eirthstopper and Perseverance in command. Teddesley, Evington Lass, and Brompton closed in the wake of the leader when over the Stand timber; Tho Faraer and The Scamp sucoeecttd ; whilst Heads or Tails quietly surveyed the lot several lengths ofi in the rear.

The flag falling when BeUman was three or four lengths iu advance, he sailed away at a merry pace over three flights of hurdles near the river side, along which Evington Lass and Omar Pasha headed the ruck, and Forest Queen, last from the post, brought up the rear. She, however, rushed through her horses at the top of the lane, and joining Bellman ( both lying wide a par 5 and pulling double), they raced nearly level to the starting point at the Stand. Hr. lf a dozen lengths off Evington Lass, Omar Pasha, and Aldershot travelled on next together, Einciley, just previ- ously at the tail, now going on sixth, succeeded by Laud's two and the favourite. The latter mended his position as they streamed on to the lower end of the course, where Evington Lass and Omar Pasha fell back, whilst Fores* Queen increasing her advantage at every stride, jumped into the enclosure full fifty yards before Bellman, close up with whom was Aldershot, Hindiey fourth, Minor fifth, Theodiue and Omar Pasha next, Peacock and Evington Lass whipping in. in this order a suc- cession of hedge and ditch leaps were taken without mistake, the lead of the Queen being likewise undiminished as she re- entered the course and completed the first round, with scarcely any alteration in the positions of the others last indicated. En- tering the outer line lor the made brook facing the Stand, Forest Queen came back to her horses, and steadying for the jump, which Hindiey went at like a wild ' un, the pair landed over it nearly abreast, after which the mare again showed in the van. Bellman, Theodine, and Peacock next charged tha leap most splendidly, with Evington Lass and Minor following in close order, Omar Pasha rising at it several lengths behind the latter. Between this point and the Infirmary turn the two last men- tioned crept forward, Bellman and Aldershot at the same time becoming last of everything. Meanwhile her Majesty and Hindley rattled on a second time to the enclosures, which they rose at simultaneously. The mare effected a safe lauding, but Hindley, slipping on to his head, came down sideways, rolled over Walter White, and completely knocked him out of time. Evington Lass coming in his track, jumped over the fallen ones without so much as brushing either. Minor next adroitly avoided collision, ani overhauling the Queen in the ensuing fifty yards, raced with her for the lead, and obtained it half way along the Hovel Meadow. A wide in- terval separated them from the next division, comoosedof Theo- diue, Evington Lass, and Omar Pasha, who however got on better terms with the leaders when momentarily disappearing behind the bushes. Along way astern of the quartette came Bellman and Aldershot, the latter getting head foremost into a ditch three fences from the course, and was not pushed further. Minor jumped into Pitclacroft the last time, with Forest Queeu at his girths; Eviugton Lass and Theodine showed next, three lengths in their wake, and about twice as far divided them from Peacock and Omar Pasha. Thay, however, became more widely scattered in making for the gorsed hurdles next in the way, where Minor was beaten, Evington Lass having just previously shut up; Peacock also coming to a sudden halt, whilst the Generalissimo, though going on for the off chance, had likewise virtually surrendered, Immediately upon the retirement of Minor, Theodine went up to the' mare, and raced with her to the last timber at the distance, and re- newed the struggle when over it, each thence disputing every inch of ground to the upper end of the paddock, when Night- ingall took a slight pull, and, finding it all rteht. waited and won on the post by the head. Omar Pasha finished a length snd a half from the mare, Minor and Evington Lass next walked in, and these were all that passed the chair, Bellman and Pea- oock having turned into the saddling enclosure. Run in 9min 30sec— a clipper from end to end. The rider of Hindley was assisted to the Stand, where it luckily transpired that a severe shaking constituted the damage.

The running was made by Kingfisher, who at the far side, was nine or ten lengths in advance of Laverna, second, Brompton next, Conrad last. They, however, ai- ain got together in crossing for the top, where Kingfisher dropped in the rear, and Brompton, with the favourite at his side, were left in command, the latter taking the lead inside the distance, and winning in acanter by a length; shocking bad third, Conrad having been stopped at the straight. Run in omin. At the scale the owner of Brompton claimed the stakes, alleging that Laverna bad gone on the wrong side of a pgst; subsequently the objection was not sustained. BETTING O.

FRIDAY, Nov 6.— An excellent day's racing last year induced the lessee again to try his hand with this completely out of the way meeting, with what result the subjoined details will show. Half a dozen items made up the programme originally adver- tised, but the Maiden Plate and the Hurdle Race failed to obtain the required number of entries. A few speculators, en route from Worcester to Liverpool, explored the thirteen mile by- way that wiuds through dale and hill from the direct iron road, and appeared to do a tolerable amouut of business wi'h the " natives," who mustered very numerously, and a lovely day, over head, smiled on the operations. The WYNNSTAT NUESEET FREE HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, 1 ft, with 30 added, for two year olds; winners of 50 & ovs after Oct 27 10lb extra ; three quarters of a mile ; 5 subs.

English Rose took up the running directly after starting, followed by. Trot to the half distance, where both gave way to the favourite and Capt Wed- derburn, the former holding the lead to the end ansi winning in a canter by a length, the third beaten a neck; bad fourth, worse fifth.

Getting the best of the start Grillade made play for about a hundred yards, when Laodamia took up the running, but in the next half mile Grillade again showed in advance, waited on to the distance by Laverna and Laodamia. The three year old then dropped away, aud Laverna, collaring Cliff's mare st the Stand, defeated her iu the last two strides by a neck ; very bad third ; the rest widely scattered, the favourite cutting up badly.

[ FROM OUS OWN CORRESPONDENT.] The steeple chase season, like the " legitimate," has now been brought to a close upon the course where it began in the spring — La Marche. In every respect the management has, in this final reunion, shown itself to be inclined to do its utmost to keep up tee • prestige of this spot, so favoured by the Parisians. With this year it appears expires the original lease of the ground. Whether the present proprietor succeeds in obtaining a renewal, or rents some new ground— which would be preferable— he may rest assured of the public patronage. The fashionable world— to say nothing of tne fine weather— had begun to forsake La Marche, on account, more particularly, of the questionable ma- nagement ( which succeeded the original proprietor's retirement), of the last two years; but upon his resuming office this season, and so handsomely paying up the liabilities accumulated ia his absence, at once was " the winter of our discontent made glorious summer," and scarce a meeting has been held but which has returned with large interest the sums of money risked upon the ckances of a fine day— on which it must be understood depends entirely the success of all out- door amusements in this country. The Autumn Meeting is never a higb- prized affair on this account of doubtful weather, and the scarcity of fashionables in Paris at this season of the year; but from the convenience of the spot the autumn steeple chases are always sure to command good entries, and genarally bring all the horses to the post— their owners not being terrified with the prospect of finding in their accounts so many of those fabulous items coming under the denomination of _" Xs" occa- sionally returned by a cilebre entraineur after a journey to a more distant scene of sport (?). The ground was in excallent order, the fences had been repaired, sad " wings" put to them, as we have sr> often suggested, and although the character of the fences are anything but fair hunting jumps they must be ex- cused under the assurance that m- xt year will put matters per- fectly to rights— MOMS verrons. The handicap brought eight out of the ten engaged to the post, and but for Franc Picard, who defies all handicappers to stop him, would have produced a beautiful race— the three behind Franc making a capital race for the second money. The good old horse was as fresh and lively as a foal, and jumped his fences with that confidence and security displayed in those impossible pictures of " Dick Turpin and his mare Black Bess," who, yards above the " five- b. irred gates," are evidently sitting for their por- traits to some admiring artist of the times. It becomes a question whether it would Eot be advisable for the steeple chase interest to club together to present the pro- prietor of Franc Picard with an annuity on the life of his horse, or a competent jury decide the probable duration of his powers, and give him a sum " down" to retire from the Turf, and then let all start fair anain. Biberon made a very- good exhibition for a first attempt; andOrkousta and Yucca, but for the water, might have performed more satisfactorily. The secoi-'. d race brought seven out of the eight engaged to the " scratch," old Oscar, with Harry Rackley on his back, a sorry remembrancer of other times. The poor old horse went better than his " rkket ty" legs and badly conditioned " carcass" would have given him credit for; but the good pace made by Penelope— who made all the running and won in a canter- knocked out any chance he might otherwise have had. Cordone, who performed so well at Amiens, would have nothing to do with the fencing here, neither would Ratapoil. Polly Hopkins fell, and so leaves us in the dark as to her true merits, and Grisette was outpaced from end to end. Black Dwarf alono struggled gameiy to the end, but was beaten quite easily, although from the winner's swerving very near " home," Planner very nearly " popped" the little " black- un" first before the judge. The weather was fine, and the company numerous for the time of year. A little amateur affair was got up the previous week, when a match was won by the Black D varf, beating Windsor; and a Scurry Sweepstakes over the small fences was won by Orkousta, beatiug Trembieur and Follow me Lads; gentlemen " up." The following are the details of the sport :— SUNDAY, Nov 1.— A HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE of 2,500f, added to a Sweepstakes of 150f, h ft; the Seconal to double his ent ry ; 4,500 metres ( 2m 6fur and a distance); 10 subs.

Talon's b m Orkousta, aged, 120ib .... Donaldson Mr Rejnolds's b g Hartshorn, aged, I'iulb Owner Count de Breon's ch m Yucca, 5 yrs, 1181b Cassidy Betting : 6 to 4 agst Franc Picard, 3 to 1 agst Biberon, 5 to 1 each agst Orkousta and Casse- cou, 6 to 10 to 1 agst the others. Casse- cou and Kibworth Lass, closely followed by Biberou and Franc Picaid tooktho two first fences in the order named; whea approaching the brook Biberou rushed to the front and cleared it— in a very slovenly manner— about a length before any other; all got over well, however, with the exception of Orkous'. a, who fell on landieg and " unshipped" her jockey, and Hartshorn, who jumped into the middle. The latter was soon out again, and the former remounted; the two went on in hopeless search of the leaders, who were no w running at a good pace, with Casse- cou and Kibworth Lass in front, Franc Picard third, Railway fourth, and Yucca fifth, Biberon at her heels, having lost much ground by refusing the fence after the brook. No change worth noticing occurred until the brook the second time, which was taken by Casse- cou and Kibworth Lass, side by side, closely followed by Franc Pieard. Railway and Biberon both got well over, but not so Yucca, who juaiped short, and fell. Hartshorn, also, in attempting to refuse, fell into the deepest part, and disappeared, with his rider completely under the sur- face of " the water. Casse- cou ami Kibworth Lass continued in front to the big bank, when Casse- cou holding out signals of distress, Franc Picard moved up to his assistance, Railway at the same time approaching the front, whilst Biberon still kept struggling in the rear. At the turn for home, Franc Picard took up the running, and won in a canter by a length and a half. A good race for second money was won by Casse- cou, who came again at the finish, and beat KibworthLass by a length and a half, who had half a length advantage over Railway. Biberon and Yucca came in next, a long way behind, and the others were walked back to their stables after their various mishaps. A SELLING © TAKES of 1,200", added to a Sweepstakes of lOOf; the second to double his entry ; 1401b ; the winner to be sold for 8,000f, with allowances if for less ; horses having run in 1S57 without winning allowed 5ib ; gentlemen riders allowed 51b ; 3,000 metres ( lm 6fur): 8 subs.

Courtois's ch k Ratapoil, 5 yrs, 1151b ( 1,000).. Couchman Betting : 2 to 1 agst Penelope, 3 to 1 agst Black Dwarf, and 5 to 1 agst any other. Penelope weat at once to the front, making the running at a very good pace to the first jump— a bushed hurdle— which all got well over excepting Cordone and Ratapoil, who refused it, and again refusing a little further, had nothing more to do with the race. Penelope came with the lead over the fences on the course to the brook, which she cleared capitally, in close company with Oscar, Poily Hopkins, Black Dwarf, and Grisette ; Polly Hopkins fell on landing, and somehow or other stunning her rider, was not remounted. After crossing the brook Penelope took a commanding lead, followed by Black Dvvarf, Oscar, and Grisette, in the order named: approaching the bank Oscar was " told out," and Grisette haring no " ge" left in her, Black Dwarf alone was left with a chance of overtaking the leader. He was waited with most patiently until just on the post, when, making a desperate struggle, he was only beaten a length ; Grisette a bad third, and Oscar fourth..

( BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) ARMAGH STEEPLE CHASES. THURSDAY, Nov 5.— These annual chases, now second only to those held under the auspices of the members of the Kildare Hunt, took place on Thursday and Friday, over the usual course, at Kennedy's Plains, a little better than a mile from the archiepiscopal city of Armagh. The ground from the recent rain was rather holding, particularly in the " Flax hole" bottom, and through a couple of fields recently under plough. The " grand event," however, gave rise to very little speculation, the race being looked upon as a " forgone conclusion" in favour of Escape, from the moment the handicap appeared. The ULSTER GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLE CHASE ( Handicap) of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and 5 if declared, with 100 added ; the second to save his stake, and the winner to pay 10 sovs to the fund; a winner of any race of the value of 50 sovs 71b extra; three miles ; 16 subs, 7 of whom declared, & c.

Bright impression beat Argus, after a most interesting and protracted struggle, which was " the course of the meeting." It is or. lv wonderful how puss could have stood the driving of such a brace clippers, but she took the steam out of them so completely that she finished by walking cleaa away from both, after such a bucketing as aisposed of any chance whatever of the Stakes, in the second ties Shamrock beat Forerunner in a short trial, snowing wonderful pace and close work for a large overgrown puppy. Vanguard beat Miller easily in a short trial, and waa himself as cleverly beaten by his brother Shamrock in the dec ciding course. Polly beat Fuss in nice style, running withirroi pluck and hre; Black Star never gave Savourneen a point, aal had an equally easy victory over Polly in the deciding course, in the stakes Sunrise beat Beau, who seemed quite stale and stiity. Blackband beat Bright Impression, and then disposed of pun rise, who led to the hare, aud did nothing after. For the Lieger nlacK Star oeat Shamrock, with nothing to spare, after a no- go. Every one was delighted with the sport, aud, despite the invariable grumbling of beaten men, both judgment and slip- ping were faultless. I think the best in the Stakes won, and will be surprised if they don't figure again as winners in your columns.— Yours, & E, LONG SLIP. MALTON CHAMPION MEETING— Nov 4 & 5.

DEAB BELL : This meeting, at Derry Castle, last week opened the season of the Limerick Club, in a manner in every way worthy of their his; h position emong Irish clubs. The weather was lovely, the class of dogs first- rate, and hares both abundant and stout, giving in; almost every instance trials above the average. The entry for the Cup was small, owing to the Cork meeting being so close, and the anxiety of our best coursers to keep their cracks fresh for the Challenge Cup at Ciorane on the 18th. We met on Monday at the Model Farm, with Forerunner and Snake first in slips. After a scrambling no- go with a bad hare, Forerunner won a pretty course from end to end.

ME EDITOB : This meeting came off on Monday last, over the estate of Rowland Hunt, ESQ, for whose kind permission the coursing public are indebted. I cannot exactly say that it came off with his usual success. Some trifling masters occurred to mar its perfect consummation. In the first place, our start was dependent upon the arrival of the ordinary up train from Chester, by which several of the competitors had to travel, but in consequence of its having to " shunt" at Wrexham until an excursion train had passed ( which happened to be an hour and a half late), we lost two hours of the best part of the day, and the shades of evening came upon us before we had had our full complement of sport, and we left some of the best ground upon the estate unbeaten. The sport itself was good, as far as it went. The Boreatton Stakes began with Millsail easily de- feating Cherry Brandy, whose previous hard running had evi- dently made her calculate upon the easiest mode of killing. Orange Blossom cleverly outworked Eglantine. Prescott does not go fiery from the slips, but when with his game works well, and obtained an easy victory over Harriet. Muslin and Eaglet had an undecided course, after which the latter was drawn, otherwise I think Muslin must have won. The Baschurch Stakes for puppies brought several for trial, whose owners were anxious to try the prospect of their capabilities. It opened with Hannah, a very promising and clever puppy, beating Gamester at all points. Harlequin, after an undecided course with En- mity, led from the slips, took entire possession of the hare, and killed without admitting his opponent in for a point. Nancy and Rook: The former the favourite at 6 to 4, after an unde- cided course, was easily vanquished by the superiority of Rook, who ran exceedingly smart. Raglan went fast and steady, and easily put Flirt in the background. The Railway Stakes prin- cipally comprised veterans, and commenced with Drill " an old favourite," who lad Pretty Boy smartly from the slips, and took first turn, and then gave evidence that if you give them enough, the stoutest heart in time will cry " hold hard;" otherwise, Pretty Boy would not have had so easy a victory. I had not anticipated Virago beating Welsh Heiress, but it was never- theless the case, showing that good old ones are very often dan- gerous competitors. Cerito, although upon rough ground, in a short but exceedingly clever- run course, gave Sambo the alternative of waiting upon her. She goes mere ia the style of the far- famed Cerito than I have ever seen one, and to whom, I believe, she is nearly akin. Honour Bright, after a short undecided course upon some turnips, cleverly beat Clipper. The card was now run once down, and it was very evident that our sport would very soon be over, for night began to approach us, and after an undecided course be- tween Millsail and Orange Blossom for the Boreatton Stakes, and Muslia cleverly defeating Prescott, we closed, and although 4 BELL'S LIFE IN- LONDON, NOVEMBER 15, 1857. Kehad not found the hares so plentiful upon some portion of • ieground as we had looked forward to. there was no grum- bling, each now loeking anxiously for the courses of the good things of this life, which were abundantly placed before them by tfce host and hostess of the Boreatton, to which 120 sat down and did ample justice to both viands and wines. After toasts, sentiments, and discussions had gone their round, the stewards tor the Spring Meeting were appointed. Mr Warwick was com- plimented upon the satisfactory performance of his duties as judge, and Mr Payne, the keeper, for his excellent slipping, and thanks for his anxious endeavours to produce sport,— thus ended the Autumn Baschurch Meeting.— Yours, & c, SALOPIA.

It is hard to tell so early in the season if the hares are plentiful or not, but oertainly their stoutness has in no wise deteriorated. The course between Bother Me So aud Master Willie was indeed a real trial of strength. The only drawback to the pleasure of the meeting was the absence of those two good old sportsmen, Lord Bective and Mr Bayley, and there were many soft in- quiries for both gallant gentlemen. Many ladies favoured the sport by their presence. THE ALTCAE CLUB MEETING- OCT 28, 29, & 30. President: The Earl of Sefton. Stewards: Capt Spencer, R. G. Jetb and W. Wood, Esqs. Hon Secretary: T. D.

[ FKOM A CORRESPONDENT.] This meeting came off on the 27th, 28th, and 29th ult, with great eclat, on the beautiful estate, and by permission, of the Bight Hon Lord Londesborough, who is always williug and ready to assist and support all kinds of field sport, for which he has gained the esteem of the sporting community. The meeting • was well conducted throughout, although there was an immense concourse of people, who at times were very elated with their investments, but when remonstrated with yielded to reason, The ground for the most part is well adapted for coursing, the fields being large, Ledges low, and the soil not so flinty as we expected to find it; ana, we believe, a very few dogs were cut- in fact, no IKore than might have happened at any other meeting of the same magnitude. There was a fair show of hares, which were beaten out of turnips, where they had taken more food than exercise. The weather on the first and third days was all that could be desired, but on the second day a dense fog prevented the public seeing the coursing until noon, and the hares seemed as if thoy did not know which way to run. Sixty- nine puppies contested the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and a better- looking lot could not be sees), many not deceiving their looks, as, we believe, there were some first- class greyhounds in the stake. Those that took our fancy most were Muscatelle ( the winner of this stake— a very good- looking daughter of Music Master, and as clever a greyhound as a j udge could rile after— she won each course very easily, killing every feare she ran, and if she keeps all right must be formidable for the Waterloo Cup, but most likely she will make her appearance two or three times before then), Fanuy Pepper ( who was uuiucky iu haviug two uo- goes), Kitty Cobb, Restless Juuior, Be Easy, Bashaw, Bob Acres, Bigotry, Black- Stone, Barrister, B! ue Beard, Glance, Black Jack, Ben Bolt, Cornet, and Tickle- me- Quickly. There may be a good one or two omitted, but we think we have picked out the pluias of the lot. It would be impossible to describe each course accurately, therefore it would be folly to attempt any in particular. The Londesbstrough Park Stakes, for all- aged dogs, closed with 20 subscribers, at £ a 5s each, and comprising so many known good dogs, led to sorae speculation. The courses which caused the greatest interest were between Belted Will and Sourock, The tola ; k had too & uch pace for his clever opponent. Musician and Dutchman : The former remark is also applicable. Byron and Surprise: This was a spirited betting course, 2 to 1 being laid on Surprise, but the greatest surprise his backers had was Byron's winwing' easy. In the third ties Belted Will easily defeated Stephaao, as also Musician Byron. In the deciding course be- tween Belted Will aud Musiciau, the former was too fast at first for the latter, although the black and white had the best of it in the latter part of the course. In the Market Weighton Stakes the four left in last were decidedly the best iu the stake to our opinion. Iti the Kipling Cotes Stakes, Queen, Sophy, Shep- herdess, and Fury pleased us most. Having just given a short sketch of this very successful meeting, iu which the judge gave general satisfaction, as also the slipper, it is to be hoped it will have that support which it deserves, while such zeal is displayed b; its present officials, as there only re- quires a fair field and no favour to enrich every meeting, and brim? about conviviality with brethren of the leash instead of strife.

THE PEDIGREE OP DALTON. Ms EDITOR : A letter appeared in yours of October 25, signed " A Grevhound Breeder," in which he informs us that his curiosity has been excited to know more of the ancestry of a dog called Dalton ( late Quince), which ran at the last Waterloo Meeting, than " what Thacker supplies. Now, is this person so unreasonable as to expect the pedigree of every dog in my pedi- gree list to be given in full ? I think that the current Vol. 17, containing 5,000 dogs' names, is an outsized book; but, if I could comply with his preposterous expectations, I should be called upon to supply Ganymedes as bearers. Allow me, Mr Editor, to point out to this maggot- nibbled man how he might have found out a kernel to gnaw at in Vol. 17. As he admits, page 454, W9 have Dalton ( late Quince), rwd, by Picture ( Mr C. Brown's) out of Truelove ( Mr Thackwray's); and, in page 518, same vol, we have the same pedigree to Quince ( see Dalton), and find that he ran at the Newcastle, Northumberland, and Dur- ham ( N N. and D) Meeting— in the return of which, in page 162, you will find that Quiuce rau on the 10 th November as a puppy for the first time. Now, look for Picture. In the pedigree list, of vols 16 and 15, we do not find it; but, in that of Vol. 14, we get Picture, r & wd ( Mr C. Brown's), by Dalton ( Mr Greg- son s) out of Queen of May ( Mr Graham's). Now look for Dalton and Queen of May in the pedigree list of vols. 13 and 12, we do not see them ; but, on looking at the list in Vol. 11, we there have Dalton, w & f d ( Mr Gregson's), by Spanker ( Mr Hutchinson's) out of Lady Easby ( Mr Hutchinson's). Queen of May ( Mr Graham's), by Scott ( Mr Oxendale's) out of Grace ( Mr Gregson's); and, by descending through the different volumes, vou come to Scott, in Vol. 5, and thus you have :— ts^ 1 fDalton, w f df Spanker ( Mr Hutchinson) ^ S^ j ( Mi'Gregson) l MrGregeonHLady Easby ( Mr Hutchinson) REGATTAS AND MATCHES TO COME.

The following members, in addition to the officers, were appointed at the last meeting to act as stewards for this dinner:— Messrs A. Turner, J. Webber, W. Webster, J. Burton, and J. S. W. Herring. The following gentlemen will be balloted for:— Mr J. R. Palmer, Newport Cottage, Old Ford- road ; Mr F. Draycott, 349, Wapping ; Mr T. Kidd, St Katherine's Wharf; Mr F. K. Stevens, Chenies- street; Mr W. Burgin, Great Winchester- street.

Now, if it be too much trouble to trace out a pedigree, by sending to me, I would at any time supply it to the best of my ability, and I am not aware that I have ever refused or neglected to attend to such applications, of which I have had several. I make no charge, but do expect, and, surely, I am not exacting too much, that the person so applying will assist me either with some coursing information, or subscribe to my Annual, and so enable me to meet the demands for catering for the coursmg public. But I cannot help thinking that " A Greyhound Breeder" is the " Young Courser" who this time last season in your columns brought a similar charge against my book, of controverting which I had not then an opportunity, as you well know, but will now, with your permission, as easily dispose of as the present attempted annihilating effusion. I must say that it is a very contemptible method of procedure, for its purport is clearly perceptible. However, his charge was this :-" In your ( Bell's Life, Oct 19, ' 56) number of last week there was an ad- vertisement of a number of . togs to be sold, the property of a deceased courser ( Mr T. Hayton). Now their blood is in their favour, but as they do not all happen to be winners, I have had considerable trouble in finding out where they ran, and by what thev were beateu, & c." Now, sir, any one but a veritable ver- dant in coursing matters would, in less than half an hour, have found in Thacker, Vol. 16, all about them. Twenty lots were advertised, comprising eight puppies, which never ran in pub- lic, but which were entered for the Baldock Derby aud Oaks, see pages 381 and 382, where you will likewise find their names, which were not given in Bell, and, had they run in public with- out such names being taken coguiza » ce of, they would have been rendered amenable to the same objections as LadyleGros and Bessie of the Vale at the late Wiltshire meeting. Eight second season dogs, five of which appeared in the pedigree list in Vol. 16. and, bv turning to the meetings at which those five dogs ran, which'are made kuown in the sixth column of same list, you would find the performances of the other three— a red bitch, second season, without a name, Aminta, a brood bitch and two saplings, about which nothing could be known except that they were by Ranter out of Royalty. I am sorry to take up so much of your spaoe and time, but I feel called upon to answer, although paltry, the attacks of a person who is evi. dently running cunning.— I am, Mr Editor, yours, & c, ROBERT ABEAM WELSH, Compiler of Thacker.

ME EDITOR : In answer to the letter signed " A Bye," in your last publication, allow me to state that I believe the fol- lowing to be the rule at all club and open meetings:—" No person shall run a greyhound by a name different from that in which he has appeared in public, without first giving notice of such alteration." New, if " A Bye" will turn to my Vol. 9, page 130. Thacker's Annual, he will find that Mr Bowles won, Dec 1848, the Exiling Puppy Stakes with bk b Fairtoes, and that in this very stake Mr O. Edwards was deprived of a course which his dog won because he had entered his dog " Aggravation," omitting " late Idol." There can be no doubt but that the Croonie is a public meeting; it has been for several years re- turned as such in the Courser's Annual; the winners and run- ners- up have been inserted in the pedigree list of the same book. Besides, if further proof is necessary, the following will suffice— fee Volume XVII., pages 96 and 97—" Indeed, the usual day fixed, viz. the 26th, would have given a very acceptable ad- dition to their preparation, which, I imagine, was wisely con- sidered by those who purchased at Mr Jardine's sale, neither of the" Croome entries" which were sold with that engagement having put in an appearance."— See Bell's Life for March, 1857. — Yours, & c, ROBT. ABEAM WELSH, Compiler of Thacker. Liverpool, Nov 3. ASHDOWN PAEK MEETING.— On the first day ( Tuesday next) the fixture will be the Lambourn corner of the wood, and on Wednesday at the Rubbing House. The dogs will be in the slips punctually at ten o'clock. The places of meetiug for the other days will be fixed on Wednesday. THE LATE SOWTH LANCASHIRE CLUB MEETING AT SOUTH- POET.— Mr Editor: In your return of this meeting there are two or three errors. First, it is stated, that my dog Deacon easily defeated the Knight of Kars ; but such was not the case, as they did not meet. Next it is made to appear that Deacon had a no- go with British Flag, which was not the case, as Deacon only had" one no- go, which was with Malakoff.— Yours, & c, E. DIXON.— Cox Green, Nov 4,1857.

Our table of averages of celebrated batsmen, as well as a complete analysis of the bowling, will appear in our columns about the usual time. The players' doings will be selected from first- class matches only ; but amateurs desirous of having their averages inserted, can forward them, naming the match and date of our paper in which their matches appeared, and subject to our approval for insertion. They must als3 be drawn out in columns, as follows :— Matches, innings, rune, most in an in- nings, most iu a match, least in a match, times not out, average per innings, over. As the merits of the bowler cannot be shown without being analysed, they will not be inserted, unless sent as . ollows:— Innings bowled in, balls bowled ( overs), runs made from, maiden overs, wickets, average number of runs from each over, average balls bowled for each wicket, average nnmber of BSquireBedlam ^ C° Untry | runs obtained for each wicket, wides, no balls, average per in- : nings, over.

At the November general meeting of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, Tield at the club house, St James's- street, on Wed- nesday evening, the 4th instant, a resolution was carried nem con, limiting the number of members to 750; this limitation will not affect any candidate owning a yacht of or exceeding the lowest tonnage classed in the club matches. Amongst the several candidates elected since the recess are the following yacht owners:— His Imperial and Royal Highness Vice- Admiral the Count d'Aquila, Menia, schooner, 176 tons; Arthur Anderson, Esq, Norseman, screw steamer, schooner, 200; W. Wingfield Newcombe, Esq, Oriana, schooner, 60 ; R. W. Wheeler, Esq, Haid6e, cutter, 44; John P. Darmay, Esq, Mystery, cutter, 20; James Garland, Esq, Pet, latteeu, 20; Henry J. Johnson, E- q, Brown Bess, cutter, 15; and James Ramsden, Esq, Merlin, cutter, 10. The club dinner, which took place prior to the meeting, was as usual fully attended, and several candidates were announced for the 2d December, to which day the meeting was declared adjourned. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting of the Ranelagh Yacht Club will be held at the Swan Tavern, Battersea, on Wednesday evening, the 11th iast, at eight o'clock. The club will proceed to the election of a vice- commodore and a treasurer, and also to fill any vacancies which may arise in consequence of such elections. The following gentlemen will be balloted for:— Messrs J. S. Goodbody, Court of Chancery, Westminster ; James Miles, King's- road, Chelsea ; Robert Story, 12, Harley- street, Batter- sea ; Thomas Noon Talfourd, Peterborough House, Westmin- ster, yacht Black Prince, 4 tons, LONDON ROWING CLUB. The first monthly meeting this winter of the London Rowing Club was held on Thursday last, the 5th inst, at the town house of the club, Anderton' s Hotel, Fleet- street, when about twenty gentlemen sat down and did full justice to an ample feed. After the removal of the cloth the usual monthly business of the club was gone through, and the remainder of the evening was agreeably spent by the members and their friends. The next dinner and monthly meeting will be held on the first Thursday in December, namely the 3a, but it is not yet decided whether that or the next meeting, early in January, shall be the grand annual dinner. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN FINNIS AND WADE. Our readers will doubtless remember that the above men con- tended on June 25th of the present year; on that occasion, owing, as it was then supposed, to the superiority of Wade, he staked £ 25 to his opponent's £ 20 ; but his friends had much overrated his rowing capabilities, in addition to which it was evident that he had fallen off mueh from the time when he had wrested the below- bridge championship ( as they call it) from George Rice of Limehouse, for with Finnis he never stood a shadow of a chance, as the latter rowed right away from him from beginning to end, and ultimately almost lost sight of him. As Wade was also supposed not to have been in the best of health on that occasion, his backers matched him to have another trial with Finnis when he got into better rowing con- dition, the stake this time being a level £ 30 a side. George Wade of Stone Stairs, Ratcliff Highway, although au excel- lent rower, has not done a great many things, his performances being chiefly confined to his native place, in addition to which he has beaten Rice; he is somewhat older than his op- ponent, although he has not obtained so many laurels, nor contended in so many races. James FiHnis of Wapping is the hero of many encounters. About the first thing we hear of him was his winning Doggett's Coat and Badge in August, 1854. Following up this victory, he won Prince Albert's Coat and Badge at the Tower ( from which he was then hailing) in the same year, and also won the boat in the Tower Regatta, In the same year. In November, 1855, he rowed one of the most beautiful races ever witnessed with Henry White; the contest was maintained in a most plucky manner throughout, and White ultimately won. In June of the present year, as before stated, he obtain d an easy victory over Wade. He has rowed ou more than one occasion at the Royal Thames National Regatta at Putney. And, finally, on the 3d of September this year he again rowed Harry White a fine ding dong race from Putney to Mortlake, which was not decided till they got to the middle of Corney Reach, where Finnis went in advance, and won by four or five lengths. The distance in the present race was as usual from Putney Aqueduct Bridge to the Ship at Mortlake; and by perhaps what may be called a little coincidence, Finnis's training quarters, umpire, and coacher, were the same as when he rowed his last'race with White, viz, the Feathers at Wandsworth, Thomas Day and Alfred Ralph; while Wade's were the Rose and Crown at Putney, a Mr Salter, ( not of the Feathers), aud John Phelps. Thursday dawned like what we should suppose GuyFawkes Day should be— in order to remind us of the horrible deed which was about to be per- petrated— very gloomy, and looked very much like rain or fog, or both, but this did not deter many lovers of aquatics from journeying towards the scene of action. The Venus had been engaged to accompany the race, and her decks were unusually crowded with below- bridge men, who vastly predominated.. All the people on board seemed to be " bookmakers," and bets were being made on each man to au alarming amount, the greater part, however, seeming to be on Finnis, at about the rate of 5 to 4. At about three o'clock the men came out, Wade in his " buff" and Finnis in a white guernsey ; both men were in fine old- fashioned boats, and they themselves appeared to be in ex- cellent condition, and elicited hearty shouts as they rowed by the steamer. Finnis having won the toss took the Middlesex shore, the water being as smooth as glass. [ We had forgotten to state that Harry Kelly ( Champion of the Thames) was 3feree.] The start was made at a quarter past three both men taking the water at exactly the same instant, and for a race in old- fashioned (?) boats it was the fastest ge- off seen for many a day; for an instant they were level, but in the next half- dozen strokes the Ratcliff man began to make headway in capital style, and was just clear about 50 yards above Finch's Cricket Ground, and gradually drawing away, till at the end of a quarter of a milo he was two clear lengths ahead. Finnis now began to mend his position, at first very rapidly, but Wade was not yet baked, and did not let his man approach him till thev got to Craven. Wade now put on a spurt, which brought him again clear ahead for another 200 yards ; by this time he was evidently beginning to be used up, and the next minute Finnis was up level; for a few strokes Wade kept with him, but it was of no use, for the Wapping man went away hand over hand just before making the shoot for Hammersmith Bridge, at which point the race had been done in a little over seven minutes. Far a sternmost man Wade rowed with the utmost game, and once or twice put on a fine spurt, which showed that, although far inferior to Finnis, he was a much better man than when he rowed last Juue. At Hammersmith Bridge, reached in rather over ten minutes, Finnis was leading by four or five lengths, and it is unnecessary to say more, further than that he reached the Ship at Mortlake some considerable distance in advance, loudly cheered by his friends. Time, 26min lOsec. The winner can have the money by calling at our office on Thursday next, at noon. THE SKIFF RACE ON LOCH LOMON . The scullers race between Campbell, Brown, and Carroll, for £ 150, came off on Thursday lact, and was won by Campbell, Brown being second, and Carroll third. The day was very favourable, there being but little wind, and the water smooth. The winner rowed the distance ( four miles, still water) in 23min 40sec, and there was about 200 yards distance between the three at the finish. J. B. M'Neil was umpire for Camp- bell, Harry Clasper for Carroll, and Chambers for Brown, and Captain Brown officiated as referee. There was a vast amount of betting, Brown's party laying the odds. Great credit is due to John Mackinney for bringing his man out in such good condition. PRESERVATION OF LIFE PROM SHIPWRECK. On Thursday a meeting of the Royal National Life- boat Insti- tution was held at its bouse, John- street, Adelphi, Thomas Chapman, Esq., F. R. S., in the chair. Mr Lewis, the secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting, a reward of £ 7 10s was voted to the crows of two boats for their prompt and laudable services in rescuing the crew, consisting of six men, of the schooner Ocean, of Llanelly, which, during a heavy gale of wind, was wrecked off Newhaven on the 8th ult. The Newhaven life- boat was undergoing some alteration at the time. A reward of £ 9 18s was also voted to the crew of the Lowestoft life- boat for putting off, with the view of rendering assistance to the schooner Elizabeth, of Port Madoc, which, during a fresh gale, was recently driven on shore ou the Holme Laud. A re- ward of £ 20 was likewise granted to the crew of the Pakefield yawl, in acknowledgment of their praiseworthy and intrepid services in rescuing the crew, consisting of nine men, of the brig Spray, of Whitstable, which was observed in an unmanageable state in the Stamford passage, on the 7th ult. A reward of £ 12 was likewise voted to the crew of the life- boat of the institution, stationed at Lyme Regis, for putting off in the night during an awful gale, on the 7th ult, with the view of rendering auy as- sistance to shipwrecked crews. The harbour at the time was absolutely buried by the seas going over the piers, and the run in it was tremendous. A reward of £ 2 10s was likewise granted to five men of Schull, on the coast of Cork, for putting off in a boat at night, to the rescue of four poor men who had been cap- sized from their boat during a gale of wind. A reward of £ 5 was also voted to a boat's crew for going off and rescuing the crew, consisting of four men, of the schooner Argo, of Great Yarmouth. The vessel's boat was observed drifting towards the Barber Saxd, when her crew were fortunately taken out of her by the yawl. A reward of £ 7 was likewise given to the crew of the Margate lugger Lively, in testimony ot their noble conduct iu rescuing, at the risk of their lives, three out of six of the crew of the San Roque, of Villa Garcia, which, during cloudy weather, was lost on the Long Sand on the 24th ult. Six of their comrades had miserably perished before succour could reach them. The in- stitution decided to station life- boats and transporting carriages at Brighton, Hastings, and Groomsport and Rosslane. in Ireland. Almost £ 300 were paid for life- boat houses, and sundry charges on various life- boats; and £ 1,000, from the small funded oapital of the institution, was ordered to be disposed of to pay for various new life- boats sent to the coast by the society. It was reported that, from official returns made to the Board of Trade during the terrific gales at the beginning and end of last month, fifty- three vessels were wrecked on our coasts, and that thirty nine poor creatures met with a watery grave on these disastrous occasions. Many of them might have been saved, it was said, had efficient life- boats been in the vicinity. It was also reported that the institution had no life- boats at Caister, Wimberton, and Mondesley, on the Norfolk coast, where great loss of life from shipwrecks took place recently. The society, however, have promptly offered to station some of its best life- boats at some of these places. A sincere vote of condolence having been voted to the family of the late Mr Francis Wilson, who was a member of the committee of management of the institution, and a munificent contributor to its funds ( his father, the late Mr Thomas Wilson, was founder of the society), the proceedings closed. ME J, LEITHEAD ( whose name last week was erroneously spelt Lethered) seeii. g that Francis and Hammerton accept the chal- lenge to row two men of the North, without naming expenses, wishes to say that be will give £ 14 to row on the Tyne, or take the same amount to row on the Thames, or he will agree to a borne and home match, for £ 100 a side each event, By sending a deposit to the Editor of Bell's Life, and articles to Mr Leit- head, at S. Anthony's, Newcastle, the match can be made. C. MATNAED and J. LOWE, young watermen of Nine Elms, are matched to row from Putney to fliertlake on Monday, Nov 16, for £ 10 a side. £ 8 has been made good at Mr Janes's, Three Goats Heads, Wandsworth- road, Nine Elms, and the final de- posit of £ 4 a side is to be staked in the hands of Mr Janes on Monday next, who is final stakeholder. This race, although for a small stake, creates a deal of interest amongst the friends of both parties. THOS. WHITE of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, is open to row Geo. Wade of Stone Stairs, Ratcliff, from Putney to Mortlake, either in outriggers or old- fashioned boats, for £ 30 a side. The match can be made at Mr Ross's, Prince of Orange, Mill- street, Ber- mondsey, to- morrow ( Monday) evening. T. White will al30 row Geo. Hammerton of Teddington if he will allow two lengths start, for £ 50 a side. DEEWITT AND SALTEE.— A match has been made between George Drewitt of Chelsea aud Stephen Salter of Wandsworth to row a scullers race from Putney to Barnes Railway Bridge, on Wednesday, Dec 2, for £ 80 a side. We have received articles with £ 5 a side, and the next deposit of the same amount is to be made at Mr Cusack's, Magpie and Stump, Chelsea, on Wednes- day next. A MODEL YACHT MATCH will take place on the Serpentine on Monday, Nov 30. Entries close on the 23d, at G. J. Kerridge's, the Wilton Arms, Wilton- place. The following is the entry at present:— G. J. Kerridge's Clara, lugeer ; J. Bull's Little Mos- quito, lugger ; J. Whitehead's Rose, lugger; J. White's England, lugger; C. Johnstone's Fly, lugger; W. G. Matalne's Fanny, lugger. RALPH NICHOLSON and Wsi. VALLANS of Blaydon will row John Snowball and Read of Fellingshore, for £ 15 or £ 20 a side, in scullers boats, from the High Level Bridge to the Suspension Bridge, Scotswood. To meet at Henry Clasper's, Nov 9th, Mr A. COLE, landsman, will row Austin, Dean, or Pinks ( three of Messrs Pillow's lads) a scullers match, in outriggers, from Putney to Mortlake, in three weeks, for £ 20 a side. Money ready at the Britannia Coffee- house, Tooley- street. ISAAC AECHEE and JERKY NEWTON of Limehouse will row Spriggen aud W. Thompson of the same place a pair- oared race, for £ 30 a side, open to £ 50 a side. To meet at Mr Jemerson's, the Camden's Head, Church- lane, Limehouse, on Tuesday next. W. FOSTEE of Howdon will row Rowney Thompson according to his challenges, from Whittley Point to the Old Dock at How- don, for £ 10 a side. Money ready on Tuesday at A. Barras's, Dockhouse Inn, Howdon.

TOM SATEES AND BILL BENJAMIN.— A further deposit of £ 20 a side for this match was made at Tom Cole's, Green Man, Green- street, Church- street, Blackfriars, on Thursday, in the presenoe of a large muster of the Fancy. Tom Sayers was pre- sent, but Benjamin was represented by Fred. Broome. Tom Sayers has since followed Benjamin's example, and gone into active training. The next deposit is to be named by Sayers next week. In reference to Caunt's match witte Sayera, we last week received a letter from Caunt, in which he taxes Sayers with impertinence, and talks of shuffling match- making. We cannot agree with Ben, as we think it extremely unlikely Sayers would have covered his £ 10 and added another £ 10 to it, had he not meant business. Caunt says he will not go on unless Sayers goes to his house to make the matGh. PUGILISTIC BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.— At a meeting of this association on Thursday, the accounts up to the present time were audited and passed, it appearing that the total amount now in the treasurer's hands amounts to £ 149 16s 4} d, or, in round numbers, £ 150. A complaint was lodged by several members of the gentlemen's committee against Inspector Adams for intoxication at several recant fights, and this being the second time, it was determined, on consideration, to suspend him from his inspectorship, but to allow him to remain on the list of persons eligible as ring constables. No successor was ap- pointed, but it was agreed by the gentlemen's committee that, whoever the new official may be, it shall be his duty to take the whips down to future battles, and distribute them to the con- stables, retaining, however, the whips of all who are intoxicated, or otherwise incapable of acting, to be given to other members of the association who are fitter for the office. It was further determined that the committee will, in future, withhold pay- ment from all constables who shall iu any way act as partisans of the combatants, or in any other manner misconduct them- selves. The only other resolution was one to the effect that in future, owing to the heavy drag on the funds, the committee will not appoint ringkeepers to act at fights for less than £ 50 a side, but the inspector shall be compelled to attend fights for any sum not less than £ 25 a side, provided with tickets fur- nished by the association, which he shall dispose of, and divide the proceeds equitably among such members of the association who may be present as he may think necessary to appoint. YOUNG BAENET AAEON AND J. MONAGHAN.— We have re- ceived a New York paper from Barney Aaron, containing the account of a fight between his sou, Young Barney, and one Monaghan ef Liverpool, for 100 dollars a side. The battle was gamely contested throughout, and won by Aaron in 80 rounds, and three hours and twenty minutes. BICK AND DAVIS.— These lads fought near Cheltenham for £ 10 a side, on Tuesday, when D& vis gained first blood and first knock down blow. Twenty- four rounds were contested in t » o hours and a half, and Davis looked all over a winner, when the police put in an appearance, and stopped further hostilities. FINIGHTY AND LYNCH.— The backers of these men attended at eur office on Friday to hear the evidence proposed to be brought forward by Mr Beach of Gravesend, to prove that Robinson, the umpire of Lynch, had been bribed by the backers of Fiuighty. Three persons, a Mr Cole, of 143, Windmill- street, Gravesend, Jarvis a Gravesend boatman, and a Mr Broderich of Westminster- road, said they heard Robinson state in a public house at Gravesend that he had lost 50s through not being allowed to second Lynch, but as he had received £ 2 for what he said against him he was not much a loser. A Mr Gibbs, of Holywell- lane, Shoreditch, stated that he saw some one put £ 2 into Robinson's hands on the ground, but who that person was he could not say, although he knew him by sight. He did not hear him say anything. On the other hand, Mr Jones, of Vine- street, Hatton- garden, declared that Robinson had received nothing from him or from Morris Roberts, the other backer of Finighty, neither had they authorised any one to give him money. Mr Jones added, that Robinson gave his decision in- stantly on being appealed to, and in this he was corroborated by George Brown, of the Bell, Red Lion Market, and a Mr Duffy. We have also a letter from Morris Roberts denying in strong terms any complicity iu such transaction. We have thus four persons on one side, who, however, de not prove at all distinctly, that Robinson received a bribe, as the evidence of three of them is merely as to a statement made by Robinson himself, against which we have the statement of Robinson made to us last week. We have, in addition to this, the positive denial of Fiwighty's backers that they in any way biassed the umpire, and taking all these facts into consideration we do not consider there is sufficient evidence to induce us to disturb the joint fiat of the two umpires. There may be very suspicious circumstances, but suspicion is not conviction, and we shall hand the money to Finighty on W ednesday at our office. Robinson asserts positively that he never received a farthing from any one. MIKE MADDEN AND MACS.— We have received the following from Mike Madden as to his alleged defalcation:—" London, Nov 5th, 1857. Mr Editor: I was surprised to find it stated in your last number of the Life that I had not accounted to my backers for the money I received from them to stake in my late match with Jem Mace of Norwich. Now, sir, I have only to say that it has always been my desire to behave in a straightforward manner to every one, and, moreover, I defy any man in the world to say that I ever attempted to withhold from my sup- porters what was justly their due. I am proud, sir, to inform you and the public that I have settled with the gentlemen that stood money with me, and I beg to state that if there are any further claims against me I shall be at Alec Keene's, Three Tuns, Moor- street, Soho, on Monday evening next prepared to satisfy them.— I remain, sir, your obedient servant, MIKE MADDEN."— Mike has given us a list of those who stood money with him, many of whom have since informed us that they have received their own again. Oliver requests that Madden will leave the payment for the ropes and stakes at our office. CLABKE AND KING.— We have had numerous letters again this week respecting this affair, and, among others, a further communication from our reporter to the effect that he was close to Paul Daley, the alleged umpire for King, during the last round, and that individual certainly did not appeal to the referee.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS, HILL AND MANKS.— The mitch between Young Hill ( the Nailer) of the Lye Waste and 3fanks ( the veteran Warwickshire Antelope) of one mile, for £ 20 a side, came off at Aston Cross Grounds, on Monday last, in { presence of one of the largest musters that for some time past have been seen at these Grounds, to witness the aforesaid match. It will be recollected that they ran the same ground: over on the 9th of last month, when, after a well- eontosted auaich, Hill was the win >. er by a few yards. Manks's backers, however, were so well pleased with him that they immediately made a fresh match, considering that he lost wholly through not being in good condition, and were confident that, with goed training and treatment, he could bring off the present match victoriously. He went into close training under Boulton Phillips, at Knowle, and was considered to be in first- rate trim on the day of running, Hill trained in his own immediate neighbourhood, and his backers were perfectly satis- fied with his condition, and certainly, on the men appearing at scratch, they each appeared to be in first- rate condition. Masks particularly so— health was in his looks, and his well- knit frame spoke that all was well. On the appearance of the men betting commenced at evens, at which little was laid out, but when Hill's friends came out at 5 to 4 a good deal of money was laid, but not to so great an amount as in the previous race. The men got to scratch, and, at the signal away they bounded, Hill with the lead for the first lap round; at the second lap they were close together; half- way in the third lap Manks got the lead for a few yards, when, at the turn near home, Hill passed him in beautiful style. At half- distance Manks by a great effort again got the lead, but he ( the speed of others days had faded) was not able to keep it for more than a yard or so, Hill again, with all ease, passing him, Masks doing all that in him lay to gain ground, but of no avail, for the Nailer gradually increased the distance bat ween them, and at the last lap round, about half- way, Manks gave in, having been seized with the cramp, the Nailer running in a winner by half a lap round, amidst the cheers of his friends. Manks was led up, looking much distressed and beaten, as aid also his friends, who had booked it safe. Hill received the stakes the same night. MANKS AND HILL.— At the giving up of the stakes to Hill at the stakeholder's, Mr. Matthews, Bell Inn, Dale End, tke backers of Manks said they were confident at a longer distance he could beat Hill. Hill's backers immediately accepted a match for them to run five miles, for £ 25 a side, Manks giving 50 yards start to Hill. £ 1 a side was deposited, to be made into £ 5 a side, to- morrow ( Monday), at the stakeholder's, Mr Mat- thews, Bell Inn, Dale End, Birmiugham, and then also to draw up articles and pick a referee. EVANS AND DICKENS — These men met on Monday last, according to articles, at the Beegars'Bush, near Sutton Cold- field, to run their 10 score yards match, for £ 10 a side. There was a very large attendance from the districts around, in antici- pation of au excellent race coming off, both men being known as clippers. The men appeared on the ground, and on the smbject of who shall be referee being mooted, neither party would agree to any one named by either side; also it is said that Dickens did not care who it was, but Evans objected to all named, A deal of time having been cut to waste, parties wfto had journeyed a long way became clamorous; meantime the n » en left the ground, to the disappointment of hundreds present ( whoi at once started in hopes of being in time for Manks aud - Hills race). At a meeting the next day at the stakeholder's, Mr Mat thews, Birmingham, a noisy discussion ensued without any match beingmade, the stakeholder returning ea: h man his money. D. HABTLEY AND J. HUGHES.— Mr Tailby. the stakeholder, has received the whole of the money, £ 10 a side, for the six score yards match ( the men also agreeing to run for the gate- money), which comes off to- morrow ( Monday), at Aston Cross Grounds; to be at scratch between two and four o'clock, and to start by mutual consent in . twenty minutes, if no start to go by first pull of handkerchief, the man not going to loose. A clipping race is anticipated. . . HILL AND CAUSES.— S. Coates, the stakeholder, has received the stakes, £ 10 a side, for the quarter of a mile match between these well- knofvn men, which comes off to- morrow ( Monday), near the Plough, at Minworth; the men to be at scratch prepared to run it off at twelve o'clock, , Mr G. Heeley is appointed referee. GAEBINGTON ANDDANGEEFIELD.— The six score yards match, for £ 10 a side, between these men is going on. They are to start by mutual consent in 20 minutes; if no effect, to go by first pull of a handkerchief. A further deposit for the same, of £ 3 a side, must he made at Parrott's, the Trees, Great Hampton- street, to- morrow ( Monday) evening, between eight and ten o'clock. BATCHELOB AND ASHMOBE.— This six score yards match, which stood to come off last Monday, for £ 5, has been postponed till to- morrow ( Monday), when the men are to be at scratch be tween two and three o'clock, within a short distance of home, to run it off. , , SMITH and PETEES ( both of Birmingham), who are matched to run six score yards, for £ 5 a side, have made the whole Oi the money good to the stakeholder, Mr. Macdonald. They run at : Aston Cross Grounds on Saturday, the 14th, instead of Monday, , the 16th, as stated by us in error last week.

Money ready any night next week, at G. Waddy's, Cross Keys, Queen- street, Birmingham. DOINGS AT THE SALFORD BOROUGH GARDENS. SATURDAY, OCT 31.— One of the most interesting handicaps for pedestrians which it has become our province to record during the present season, as having been decided upon the fa- vourite course at these gardens, opened this afternoon, but though the weather was most auspicious, the assemblage of spectators was not so numerous as might have been expected, there being probably about 900 persons present. The distance for the event we are about to notice was 190 yards, the first prize being £ 40, second £ 7, and third £ 3. The original entry was far more numerous than usual, and the card of acceptance exhibited 42 names, including those of several celebrated local men, ss well as of many pedestrians residing at distant places, of which Yorkshire furnished a fair quota. The competitors were divided into 14 lets, three being in each, and Mr A. Atten- bury officiated as referee, the duties of starter being discharged by MrJames Holden, jun, of Manchester. The first event came off at half- past two o'clock, and the following is a brief return of the sport:— Lot 1; T. Pemberton of Leigh 17 yards start, 1; G. Darley of Salford scratch, 2; A. Butterworth of Manchester 17, 3. Betting : 6 to 4 on Pemberton, who won by 2^ yards.— Lot 2 : J. Lett of Hulme 18 yards start, 1; J. Worthington of Reddish 17, 2. Betting: 2 and 3 to 1 on Worthington, who kept in front until within 50 paces of home, where Lett gave him the go- by, and won by a yard and a half.— Lot 3. W. Hawks of Wetherby 17 yards start, 1; J. Thorp of HarpurheyM, 2. For this contest, almost any odds were offered on the winner, and prior to the heat coming off, 5 to 1 was taken that he would win the handicap. The race proved an excellent one, Hawks winning by only half a yard.— Lot 4 : J. Collins of Chadderton 17 yards start, 1; R. H. Knutton of Sutton 7i, 2; G. Seward of Manchester 14, 3. Betting: 5 to 4 oa Collins, 6 to 4 agst Knutton, and 2 to 1 aest Seward. Won easilv by four yards. — Lot 5 : C. Halliwell of Middleton 11 yards start, 1; J. Nowell of Mytholmreyd 15, 2; T. Clay of Derby 15, 3. Betting : 6 to 4 on Clay, but Halliwell carried off the heat by three vards.-^ Lot 6: P. Hooton of Liverpool 17 yards start, 1; C. Hall of Glossop 15, 2; J. Newton ( alias Jam Lad) of Hollinwood) 12, 3. Betting: 4 and 5 to 1 on Hooton, who won, without difficulty, by four yards— Lot 7: G„ Bailey of Millsands 18 yards start, 1; J. Wilsou of Richmond 15, 2 ; G. Pearce of Louden 15, 3. Won by yards.— Lot 8: W. Willcock of Man- chester 9 yards start, walked over.— Lot 9: J. Matthews of Salford 18 jards start, 1; E. Greenwood ( alias the German Lad) of Manchester 2; W. Walmsley of Manchester 17,3. Bftting: 6 to 4 on Walmsley, but Matthews won cleverly.— Lot 10 : G. Richardson of Manchester, 17 yards start, and J. Taylor of Rhodes, near Middleton, 12, ran a dead heat; but had not Richardson unwisely turned his head to look at his opponent, he would have won. [ They again came to their respective marks, after the last heat had been decided, to run oft; and though the contest for half the distance was a tolerably close one, Richardson then shot out, and won by three yards, thus being doubtless convinoed of his previous folly.]— Lot 11: W. Constable of Willenhall 11 yards start, 1; S. Howard of Bradford 15, 2 ; J. Nolan of Manchester 13, 3. Betting: 2 and 3 to 1 on Howard, who led to the stand, where Constable passed him, anrf even- tually won by a yard.— Lot 12 : T. Bennett of Barnsley 16 yards start, 1; T. Collinge of Jumbo 6, 2 , J. Lyons of Salford 14, 3. Won easily.— Lot 13: J. Buckley of Tonge LanelO, walked over.— Lot 14: B. Crawshaw of Kilpenhill 16 yards start, 1; A. Bowler of Low Moor 14, 2. Crawshaw was permitted to win as ke pleased, Bowler evidently not trying for the heat; and, as if thoroughly to convince those present that such was the fact, he jumped over his own side of the referee's tape ( elevated for a different purpose) in coming in. If leaping be one of the quali- fications upon which Bowler prides himself, we would advise him to select some ether opportunity for the display of his abilities, rather than when he is pretending to run in a pedestrian handicap. It was dusk when the day's sport was brought to a conclusion. MONDAY.— The deciding heats came off this afternoon, and about the same number of persons assembled to witness them as were present on Saturday., They were decided as follows :— Lot 1: Buckley 1, Pemberton 2, Willcock 3. Won by p- yard and a half.- Lot 2: Bailey l,: Richardson 2, Halliwell 3. Won by two yards.— Lot 3: Hooton 1, Hawks 2. Hootou won as he pleased, his opponent having broken down.— Lot 4: Bennett 1, Matthews 2, Constable 3. Won, after an excellent race, l » y half a yard.— Lot 5: Collins 1, Lett 2. Won by a yard.— THe five winners then ran off in two heats, and these came off as subjoined: — Lot 1: Hooton 1, Bennett 2, Collins 3. This was carried off by Hooton, after a good struggle, by half a yard.— Lot 2: Buckley 1, Bailey 2. Won by three- quarters of a yard.— Deciding heat: Peter Hooton of Liverpool 17 yards start, 1; John Buckley of Tonge- lane 10,2. Betting; 5 to 4 on Hoot m, who won the handicap somewhat easily by two yards. G. Bailey of Millsands, 18, and T. Bennett of Barnsley, 16, divided the third prize of £ 3. With respect to the running of the winner, his success to day has been aptly styled a Blink Bonny performance, inasmuch as on the same course, on the previous Monday, he won ( by five yards) the first prize of £ 20, in a 440 yards handicap. The decisions of the refere « were unquestionable, and Mr Holden, jun, deserves credit for the manner ia which the starts for the various heats were effected. BOOTH AND HABTLEY.— Mr Holden has received another deposit, making £ 10 each row down, on account of the race of one mile, for £ 15 a side, between T. Booth and T. Hartley ( both of the neighbourhood of Blackburn), which is fixed for the 14th inst., at the Salford Borough Gardens. THE IMPOBTANT RACE BETWEEN GEOBGE DAELEY AND JAMES HANCOCK.— This contest is fixed for to- morrow ( Monday), at the Salford Borough Gardens, and the result is looked forward to with some interest by the admirers of pedestrianism. The race will be for£ 25a side, the champion's belt( value 50 guineas), won by Darley upon the same ground on the 21st of September, and both shares of the gate money. The distance will be 150 yards, the men to start by the report of a pistol, and either leaving the mark before the signal be given, is to stand one yard back. The full amount of the stakes is in the hands of Mr Holden, who will officiate as referee, and the race is to be decided between three asd four o'clock. A GEEAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP, distance 100 yards, will take place at the Salford Borough Gardens on Saturday and Monday, Dec 19th and 21st. First prize £ 20, second £ 3, third 1.

The en- tries to close on the 15th of December. DOINGS AT COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, NEAR MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, OCT 31.— The attendance this afternoon was somewhat limited; the following events came off:— ALLEN AND SYDDALL,— This was a spin of 440 yards, for £ 5 a side, between D. Allen and B. Syddall ( brother to the well- known John Syddall) both of Radcliffe, Mr Hayes filled the office of referee, and the betting was 3 to 1 on Syddall. They got off without difficulty, and kept well together for 200 yards, where Allen went in front, and gradually increased his advan- tage until he had gained five yards upon his opponent. When 100 yards from home, Allen, though then nearly exhausted, still kept on, and won by four yards. Amongst his other inheritances " pluck " has not descended to this scion of the Syddall family ; and on" this occasion he . showed a great want of it, though certainly this was not the first time he had exhibited the " white feather," a? id the layers of the odds were loud in their com- plaints as to the result. SPAEBOW SHOOTING.— A match at sparrows also came off ( though it terminated somewhat unsatisfactorily) the competi- tors being Mr Bentley of Prestwich and Mr Stephen Green- wood of Manchester, at 20 birds each, for £ 5 a side. After the match had proceeded for some time, and when Mr Bentl- y was 3 ahead, a sparrow was placed in the trap for that gentleman to shoot at, but as it did not rise, he declined to fire, jnd another, of a similarly tame description, was substituted. This also failing to leave the trap, Mr Bentley, after holding his gun in readiness for a reasonable time, also declined to shoot a*; and upon this Mr Greenwood refused to allow any other bird to be trapped, or to proceed further with the match, declaring that he would have his stake returned, as he could recover it in a court of law. Subsequently the referee handed his decision, in writiug, to the stakeholder, Mr J. Kenyon, of the Ostrich Inn, Prestwich ( who was present), and he at once paid over the stakes to Mr Beutley. Should Mr Greenwood seek the decision of a court of justice, he may possibly be convinced that the stakeholder acted properly, and further that he clearly lost the match, inasmuch as the articles stated that they were to trap for each other, and he ( Mr Greenwood) declined to continue to do so, WOBTHISGIOS AND BABLOW.— Jas. Wrorthington of Redditch Green and Thos. Barlow of Stockport are matched to run 200 yards, for £ 5 a side, at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Man- chester, to- morrow ( Monday).

Holden of Over Darwen and J, Pom- fret of Blackburn, Mr Holden now holds £ 10 each.

HABDJUIT AFD HOBBOCKS,— OH account of the race of 449 yards, for £ 25 a side, between Joseph Hardman of Radcliffe and Joseph Horrocks of Bury, Mr Holden has now received £ 15 each. The contest is to take place at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Manchester, on the 14th iust, and Hardman is to have eight yards start. A GEEAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP, distance 1,060 yards, will take place at the Copenhagen Race Grounds, Newton Heath, near Manchester, on Saturday, December 26th, and Monday, January 4th; first prize £ 20. second £ 3 10s, third £ l 10s.

Mr Hayes has received the ® rst deposit of 10s each, and he is to be referee. BONNY AND VENUS.— A match has been agreed upon between George Shaw and Robert Thorbura, the former backing his bitch Bonny against Thorburn's Veuus, to run 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, at the Copenhagen Grounds, near Manchester, on the 19th of December, the heavier dog to give two yards and a half to the pound outside. For this match Mr Jas. Shaw of Man- chester holds £ 4 each, and Mr Hayes has been selected referee.

None but the best Yorkshire blue rocks will be provided. FULLEB AND ROGEBS'S MATCH FOE £ 40.— The match be- tween those veteran pedestrians Bob Fuller and Dick Rogers, to walk 20 miles, for £ 20 a side, came off on Tuesday las , in the neighbourhood of Boxmoor, about 24 miles from the me- tropolis, on the Birmingham line, in presence of a large con- course of spectators of unusual respectability. Before we pro- ceed to recount the occurrences that took place on the present occasion, it is our duty, as faithful chroniclers of all such affairs, to inform our readers that tke very same nimble- footed celebrities contended for supremacy in a similar match on Thursday, the 12th of last February, but the locus ambulandi for the decision of the event was on a turnpike road in the vicinity of Slough, The former match terminated iu favour of Fuller, whose antagonist, finding himsalf completely outpaced, resigned the contest at the termination of the thirteenth mile. The cause of Bob's easy triumph upon that occasion was alleged to be indisposition, and not sufficient carefulness in traiuing on the part of Rogers. So confident, however, did the friends of the latter feel of his ability to defeat Bob, if properly attended to, that they unhesitatingly resolved on making a fresh match, and Fuller, as may be naturally supposed, being nothing loth, gladly accepted the offer. Articles were forthwith drawn up and signed by both parties to walk the distance, and for the sum above stated. The competitors, fully arrayed in their running gear, toed the scratch at the appointed time ( half- past twelve o'clock), Rogers attended by that well- known pedestrian, William Newman, who stuck to him all through. Fuller's aides de camp were nume- rous, and waited on him by turns. Both men appeared in first- rate fettle, though a diminution of that elasticity of frame, for- merly so apparent, was to the keen- eved observer quite evi- dent. Bob, with his accustomed nonchalance and buoyancy of spirits, was full of fun, and, after they had taken up their posi- tions, good- humouredly asked his opponent, was he ready ? when, on a reply in the affirmative being given, away they started, Fuller being the favourite at 5 to 4. For the first four or five hundred yards the competitors kept well together, but after this portion of the distance had been covered, Fuller stole gradually away from his competitor, and soon left a gap of some three or four yards between them; and thus they continued until the termination of the first mile. Bob, in his earlier career, had always been famed for the fair and graceful style of his walking; and, though he was not quite up to the pace, still, to see him gliding along in his well- known gallant style, put us strongly in mind of bygone days. Throughout the second, third, fourth, and fifth miles, the lead was held by Fuller, who did not, however, succeed in obtaining anydecisive advantage, for, on the termination of the sixth mile, which was accomplished a little under the hour, they were not more than a trifling space apart. The match presented no new or varying feature throughout the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth mile, for, during the performance of the whole of these, the leading posi- tion was maintained by Fuller, the twelve miles being ac- complished in exactly two hours. Iu the thirteenth mile Rogers put on the high pressure movement, and, in a gallant spurt, closed up the hiatus between them, and the lead was taken and held by him for a short distance. Fuller, however, was resolved if possible not to play second fiddle, and so well did he succeed in his efforts, that at the finish of the mile he was once more leading. During the performance of the fourteenth mile Fuller stole away from his opponent in a very marked manner, and again in the two succeeding miles Rogers fell more and more in the rear. Though Dick continued to contest the match with all that gameness aud resolution for which he has ever been so noted, still it was now " hoping against hope," for so far was he in the rear, and so well was Fuller walking that there was not the least chance left of victory crowning his efforts. He however kept on until the finish of nearly half the nineteenth mile, when, acting under the advice of his friends, he relin- quished the struggle. Fuller therefore walked the remainder of the distance by himself, and on the finish of the match it was found that he had accomplished the twenty miles in 3 hours and 28 minutes. Throughout the entire match Fuller displayed the most indomitable " game," to the possession of which essential quality in all such cases, his victory must be attributed. The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office at twelve o'clock next Thursday, and the money is to be duly banded over on the evening of that day, at Jem Burn's, the Rising Sun, Air- street, Piccadilly.

WAKEFIELD AND WAENEE,— The spin of 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, between Michael Wakefield and David Warner, came off on Monday last, at Garratt- laue, Wandsworth, in presence of a tole- rably good muster of spectators. In the little betting that took place Wakefield was the favourite at 5 to 4. When the prelimi- nary arrangements were adjusted the competitors came to the scratch. The pedestrians had to start by mutual consent, but, though this was the case, still not much time was wasted, for not more than three false moves had been made before they got away. Warner succeeded in obtaining a slight advantage, and this'position he maintained uutil full 80 yards of the match had been accomplished. Now, however, as they drew nearer the goal, Wakefield kept rapidly closing up the gap between them, and, amidst the cheers of his partisans, went slightly in advance. Though Warner had thus been passed, still he gamely continued to contest every foot of ground with his opponent, and on the termination of this exciting struggle was not defeated by more than a yard. The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office on Thursday next, at twelve o'clock. We are informed that the money will be handed over in due form to Wakefield on Thursday evening, at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Little Anchor- street, Church- street, Shoreditch.

Immediately after breakfast on Friday morning his lordship complained of feeling faint, and retired to his bedroom. The servant, hearing him call, at once went up, and found him lying on the floor, suffering from an apoplectic seizure. Medical aid was immediately procured, and his lordship rallied a little, but in the course of the afternoon he had a second seizure, which terminated life. Lord Charles Butler was fourth son of James, Marquis of Ormonde, brother of the late lamented mar- quis, and uucle of the present. He was in his 38th year, 8 LONDON, NOVEMBER 8, 1857.

Cub- hunting began as early as August 18 in the Duke of Beaufort's country, and by the first of September a large proportion of the packs were at work. The mornings have been remarkably fine and still— in short, everything that a huntsman could wish, and not only have the litters been abundant, but the two months furnished an unusual amount of good things in the open, and a remark- ably large number of old foxes were brought to hand. Perhaps the fastest thing during the cub- hunting was one of 45 minutes, without a check, with the North Warwickshire, from Frankton Wood to ground at Depdale. Lord Scarborough's, Lord Forester's, Lord H. Bentiuck's, Sir Watkin Wynne's, have all, • we hear, killed between twenty and twenty- five brace, and John Walker brought home three old foxes' brushes from one of his wild mountain coverts in one day. At the beginning of the season Lord Scarborough's country was said to hold some fifty litters, and the Heythorp census was nearly up to that standard- The Brocklesby and the Duke of Cleveland's are reported short' as well as Mr Tailby's. The Worcestershire accounts are cheering, and John Ward has had thirty- one couples out on one occasion, enough to to have delighted the late Duke of Beaufort, who was wonderfully fond of numbers. The South Berkshire is not overstocked, as many of the vixens died; and Mr Garth's have hardly found so many litters as they had the " office" for during the summer. In Suffolk, too, the cub- hunting was wisely hunting had met their approbation. His earnest wish was to do all he could to uphold this noble sport, as he believed it had a verv social and beneficial influence with all classes, and there- fore ought to be supported. It could not be otherwise than gratifying to see the hounds in the hands of so good a man as Mr Drak", whose object was to make the pack as perfect as possible, and to sho^ al! the sport that lay m bis power He w Jiami. il im » nmm nnu * U CilUllilUUH dog fox fell into the hands of the collier Philistines, who greeted him as he went to ground in a coal pit. Joe had a very good apening day on Monday, but did not kill. East Dereham is becom- ing quite a little Norfolk Melton, as far as horses are concerned, and as the Holkham tenants and the landowners generally, are all staunch preservers, the importations are thick enough on the ground to prevent them throwing up so early in the season as they did last year. Mr Lawson has also nursed the Cumberland country well, and on the west side of the Petterill, to which he confines his operations, there is as nice a country as a man need desire. So much by way of anticipation, and we trust that our correspondents will not fail to speak promptly with their pens, and tell us of the glorious reality. COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO T. T. DRAKE, ESQ, UPON HIS RESUMING THE MASTERSHIP OF THE BICESTER HOUNDS. The season of the Bieester Hunt commenced oa Tuesday, November 3d, and was inaugurated by a public dinner, at the Red Lion, Banbury, to welcome the return of T. T, Drake. Esq, who, upon the retirement of Captain Anstruther Thomson, at the end of last season, accepted the mastership of the hounds, a position he had formerly held with honour to himself and sa- tisfaction to all its members. The dinner was of a sumptuous character, and well worthy the occasion. The chair was taken by Lord Villiers, who was supported by T. T. Drake, Esq; R. Knightley, Esq, M. P.; H. Norris, Esq; H. Sheldon, Esq; G. Drake, Esq; Captain Severne; J. Stratton, Esq; J. Row- land, Esq ; W. Chamberlayne, Esq; and the principal agricul- turists of the neighbourhood, numbering in all upwards Df seventy. On the removal of the cloth the chairman gave the usual loyal toasts, and in proposing the Army and Navy coupled it with the name of Captain Saverne. Captain Severne returned thanks, and said he agreed with the observations made by the « • noble chairman that the hunting field was no bad school for the army, for there was a great deal to be learn in it, and it brought out some of the noblest and best feelinis in human nature. With respect to the army, it needed no eulogium from him, and deeds, not words, spoke in its behalf. Those deeds were known and thoroughly appreciated, and therefore no words were wanted from him to win for it admiration of its valour, sympathy for its sufferings, and confidence in its readiness and willingness to fulfil its duties [ loud cheers].— The Chairman said that he had now arrived at what might be considered the toast of the evening, namely, the welcoming back Mr Drake to this country [ much cheering]. On all occasions when a party like this met the master of a pack who had undertaken to hunt the country, there was certain to be a good gathering; but this was no com- mon meeting, and he was certain that Mr Drake must feel proud and gratified in seeing so large a number of old and staunch friends gathered around him to give the heartiest wel- come in their power to one who had left during a short interval so good a name behind him [ loud cheers]. It must be a great satisfaction to him that the remembrance of his former services had not been obliterated, but that there were so many who remembered what he had done for the country and were delighted to welcome him back again [ cheers]. To say that they were glad to see him ouce more among them was the least which they could say ; but the mame of Drake was so associated with the hunting of this part of the country, from the fact that his father before him had hunted it so well, and he had so truly followed in his footsteps, that no man who took the least interest in the sport could feel otherwise than the greatest delight that the name of Drake was once more associated with the Bieester Hunt [ loud cheers]. He thought they might congratulate him on the number of foxes in his country, and knowing what he had done iu the past, they might look with confidence to the future. They had in Mr Drake, as master of the hounds, one who was in every sense of the word as true a bred English country gentleman as ever lived, and whose friend- ship they had enjoyed, and hoped to do for many years to come [ loud cheers]. He ( the chairman) confessed that he never took the chair with greater pleasure and satisfaction than he did oa nothing which would afford him greater pleasure than to see his hounds run straight ahead from all ef them. He was not an ambitious man himself, and although he had no desire to be in the rear, he had no objection to see some one to take the top rail off for him [ laughter and cheers J. In conclusion he begged to thank them for the kind manner in which they had drunk his health, and the hearty reception which they had given him,* and, in return, he wished health, happiness, and success to them all [ much cheering].— The Master of the Hounds then proposed tne health of the noble chairman, and took the opper tunity of remarking that his father ( the Earl of Jersey) was one of the best preservers of foxes in the kingdom, and he was glad to tell them that his son ( the chairman) trod in his father's foot' steps. As far as fox hunting was concerned, they might have as good a man, but it was impossible for them to have a better sportsman.— The Chairman returned thanks, and said he was very glad to find that any exertions of his iu the cause of fox perity, and the prosperity of agriculturem general [ loud cheers] - Amongst the toasts which followed were " The Warwickshire Hounds, for which Mr Sheldon, of Brailes returned thanks; " The Pytchley Hounds," for which Mr Knightley, M. P, re- sponded ; " The Heythrcc Hounds," acknowledged by Mr Ohaih- berlayne • " L « rdSouthampton's Hounds," acknowledged by Mr Stratton;' " The Preservers of Foxes," " The Owners of Covers, " The Vice- Chairman," " The Earl of Jersey," " 8ir Henry Peyton," " The Town and Trade of Banbury," " The Ladies, and " The next merrv meeting."— The Chairman then left, and Mr Stratton was voted in his place, and, under his auspices, the the convivialities were prolonged for an additional hour or two. Mr Hall, the master of the Heythrop Hounds, having an- nounced that he would give a run with his pack on the morning following the dinner, within an easy distance of Banbury a large number of those who took part in the proceedings of the previous evening assembled at the meet, which took place at the Fox, North Aston. HER MAJESTY'S STAGHOUNDS.— OPENING OF THE SEASON. ME EDITOR: The opening meet of the Royal Buckhounds took place on Tuesdaf, at Salt Hill, where some hundred and fifty horsemen assembled at the usual hour, eleven. Of these a score or two came from London by the Great Western Railway, which proved itself mightily convenient for the Metropolitan Equestrian Residentiary Hunting Association, landing that " force" and their horses at Slough. The famo* s Sarratt hind ( her second season) was uncarted at the back of Botham s hostelrie, so well known iu the olden time, before Eton Montem had been placed in " Schedule A," and postboys in the Britisa Museum. We observed three or four ladies on horseback, and several carriages at the turn out, but only one fair equestrian went through the run, which was by no means bad, considering the dampness of the atmosphere, the depth of the country, and a very indifferent scent. The veteran DAVIS, to whom fifty seasons appear no object, was at the head of his pack, looking as fresh as a four year old. He had eighteen couples and a half of hounds out, all fit to go, and apparently able to pull down a buck of the first head, whether " fleet Towier led the cry or not. The moment they were laid on it could be seen by any person who knows a hound from a handspike that the » outh- erly wind and a cloudy sky did not proclaim a hunting morning. However away they went pretty merrily across Bothais s and Oau- trell's farms, up to the water at Twe Mile Brook, by Hay Mill, where they threw tlieir heads up. After a check of a few minutes it was evident that Miss Sarratt bad " taken soil merely to refresh herself, for she was not to be found, like the ancient lawgiver, amongst the bulrushes. On we went without a tinge of M'Adam to the Oxford- road, about a mile on the London side of Maidenhead, across the country which used to furnish good Queen Bess with " wlieaten bread," and which to- day abounds in magnificent crops of swedes, to the river Ihames, about 500 yards below the railway bridge. The deer had gone straight over the water with hxr bead towards Bray ; the men in scarlet and iu black, already well besmeared with honour and glory, had of course to ride up to Maidenhead bridge, and struggle, as best they could, through the half- opened turnpike gate, on the road which they had not used— what a surly savage that gateman is! When the hounds had again hn otr the scent, we travelled through the water meadows, and over the fallows, at a moderate pace, by Holypost, towards that part of Mr Garth's countrv lying between Hawthorn Hill and Iwy- ford. A check of some little duration took place at Ruscombe Lake, but by perseverance and " coming down to their noses,' they hit it off again in the grass land, and went away through the osier bed ( always good for a fox). By this time the held was growing select, and advantage was taken of the halt by many, who " tired, blown, and thrown out, and a long way behind, were very glad of the opportunity to beat a retreat. 1 his capi- tal bit of venison now had her head turned for Reading. Those who had second horses out were perfectly ready to exchange; those who had not— well, hir, what did they do? why, they wished they had. The country we had run over was so de- ep that every horse was tired, but still the hind went on, through Staulake and Haines Hill ( Mr Garth's) to Hurst and Bill Hill, thenco to Wokingham, over atrying stiff country, with scent getting worse, till the shades of evening closed in, and the gallant deer was left at large near Bear Wood ( Mr Walters). This was a monstrously pretty hunting run. Fortunately for the horses at this early period of the season, the pace was not " killing, for we tra- versed at least twenty miles of a wet country, in the whole of which there was scarcely a leaf off the fences. The run lasted three hours and a half, and if any one there says he had not enough of it, he must be a more peculiarly venatorial te » pe- raaent than yours, * c, us. THE TIDWORTH LAWN MEET. The opening day of Mr Assheton Smith's Hunt was celebrated at Tidworth on Thursday last, when the unbounded hospitality of the veteran squire ( who at the age of 82 appears to possess as much activity as a young man of 30) was most liberally displayed. A breakfast was prepared on the most extensive and sumptuous scale, and appeared to ba fully appreciated; nor was the servants hall forgotten on the occasion, and some hundreds must have par- ticipated ia the generous and liberal feeling which was shown by the worthy proprietor. At half- past ten the company began to arrive, and carriages came up in great numbers until twelve o'clock. Amongst those present were the Marquis and Mar- chioness of Winchester, the Marquis of Ailesbury, the Couutess of Portsmouth, Lord Charles Wellesley, Sir Edmund Antrobus, Sir John Pollen, Sir E. Poore, Bart, Right Hon Mr Sidney Herbert, M. P.; Dowager Lady Poore, and Lady Poore, Mr and Lady Rose Lovell, Mr and the Hon Mrs Pierrepont, Mr J. Bush, Mr Tyrwhitt Walker, Mr Chas. Pressley, Rev Thos. Best, Mr Chaffiu Grove, Mr Thomas Fowle, Rev Wadham Knatchbull, Mr Mackrel Smith, Mr T.^ well, Mr M. Marsh, M. P.; Mr Fitz- herbert Macdonald, Mr John Mackrel, Mr Thomas Lamb, Mr Everett, Mr and Mrs H. Sutton. Mr and Mrs W. Humphrey, Mr and Mrs J. H. Brewer, Mr and Mrs Stoddart, Mr Ed- mund Antrobus, M. P.; Mr Robert Antrobus, Mr at) d Mrs Pike Scrivener, Mr Richard Hetley, Major and Mrs Eustace Heath- cote, Col Montague, Rev John Pitt, Mr Ewart, M. P.; Walter Flower, Esq, Rev Charles Baker, Mr J. B. Starkey and Mrs Starkey. Col Newington, & c, & c. The beautiful country and the grounds, together with the stables and magnificent stud of horses, were visited by all who chose to avail themselves of the oppor- tunity. On entering tht> house each visitor was received in the most courteous manner, and conducted to the hall, where every one was received in the most kind and affable way by Mrs A. Smith. About twelve the hounds appeared in front of the mansion, and shortly afterwards the general company began to leave the house; and the Squire, mounted on one of his favourite hunters, and attended by his old and faithful servant George, was seen coming to meet his hounds, who evidently recognised him. The sight at this time was of a most engaging character, and made us all wish that the Squire may live for many years to witness the like again. George Carter looked as well and young as ever, and Jack, the whip, was as lively and indefatigable as he has always shown himself to be. In front of the mansion about five hundred horsemen as- sembled, many of them sporting " scarlet"— nor were the yeomen of the district backward in showing their respect for the Squire, and their devotion to the true old Euglish sport. The day was not favourabie for scent, and although foxes were plentiful in Asshton Coppice not one could be persuaded to leave such snug shelter. The sport was not of first- rate character, but that was no fault of the worthy Squire or his servants, as every effort was made to show a good day's hunting. The hounds were iu admirable order and condition, and judging from their running a few days this year, it may be predicted that they are better and faster than they have been for years past. One and all wished that the worthy Squire may live to enjoy his hounds for many years, and see around him so lar& e a number of friends as he did on this event. The hounds first drew Asshton Copse and soon found, but owing to the number of foxes on foot and the immense crowds of people, they were unable to get away with one. They then proceeded to Sedbury Hill, and after an hour's indifferent hunting were whipped off. THE PYTCHLEY HOUNDS. ME EDrxos: The first advertised meet of the season took jlace on Monday last, at Crausley. The morning was propitious, and many of the " old familiar feces" showed on the occasion, including the Hons C. Cust and F. Villiers, Sir F. Head, Messrs lited, Newland, Clerke, Maunsell, Bevan, Cols Mayow and Rose, Sir C. Isham, and many others, including a sprinkling of the fair sex. Crausley Wood and the adjoining spinnies were blank, much to the chagrin of the spirited owner. However, a fox was found immediately on the hounds being thrown into Mawsley Wood, and he broke directly on the Fox Hall side, and ran over three fields in the direction of Faxton Corner; he then bent to the right, and, leaving Mawsley Wood on the right hand, went straight for Crausley— the scent good — over the large grass fields, and the pace in eonse- • uence quite fast enough for the majority of the field. The hounds were now on such good terms with their fox that they drove him straight throught the wood, and he put his head iu the direction of Thorpe; he seemed, however, to have been headed, after running about half a mile, and bent slightly to the right, pointing for Kettering, but changing his mind he turned up the vale and made good his point at Thorpe Malsor. An unfortunate delay took place here, some of the hounds get- ting on to a fresh fox, the hunted fox going on through the park and covers in the direction of Rowell. This check probably saved his life, for although the hounds hunted him with the greatest steadiness, for the next three miles, they never couid get near him, and he was eventually lost after a good huutin^ run near to Harrington. Blue Cover wai next drawn, and tke gorse was almost alive with foxes. The hounds soon settled on one, which gave them a nice gallop to Kilmank, across as fine a country as any man could desire to ride over. I am happy to say that this country ( in the opeu) is full of foxes ; hounds and horses look all that could be desired; Charles Payne is quite recovered from his illness, and as cheering and civil as ever; so that a brilliant season may reasonably be anticipated. I wish I could say that the cub hunting had been as successful as it ought to have been, but when miles— aye miles— of the finest woodlands in England are without a litter of cubs or even an old fox, what result can be expected! Let us hope for better things next yeai\ VIATOE. CAPITAL DAY WITH THE HURWORTH HOUNDS. ME EDIIOE : On Tuesday last, the far- famed Welbury Village was the fixture for the gallant pack, where, precisely at half- past ten, the truly- sporting master arrived, surrounded by his darlings. The morning was somewhat stormy and heavy, rain fell at intervals enough to clamp the ardour of many youngar Nimrods than the Squire of Neasham, who is too good a " pluck'd- un" to allow small matters to keep him at home, and who, with his veteran huntsman and clever whip, had cheerfully braved the storm, regardless of their own ducking, the thrashing of the hounds, or the great risk of exposing such valuable cattle as he possesses to " the peltings of the pitiless storm ;" but to the honour of the Squire be it spoken, he is a sportsman of the first water, and ever anxious to show the best sport he can to the numerous " field" who always give him the meeting. How- ever, " fortuue favours the brave," for, in a moment, a gallant fox was found, and broke immediately, running almost as course, those that are accustomed to a bank and ditch country, as, generally speaking, it is impossible to fly them. If " Sham- rock" wishes to be quite independent I would recommend him to take over a four- wheel dog- cart for one horse. It will be of preat us « and comfort, and he will find there as good cats as any in England, and, ^ em- rally speaking, batter hay. Stabling is not good iu general, although the writer knows one stable with a few loose boxes near the Haute Plante. The best livory stable belongs to one Francois Crohare, and he was buildiugsome loose iioxt'S. He once lived under an English stud- groom, <* ud he is one of the very few who understand anything of- condi- tion. or giving a horse a ball. The price at livery, in- cluding everything, is from 70f to SOf a month for one horse, about £' 3 English. I will recommend " Shamrock" taking an English groom, if a steady one ; but he can get on without one at the above livery stable. The cheapest plan for taking a horse to that part of France is by steamer irom Loudon to Bordeaux. I believe there is a bi- monthly steamer, but the horses may be four or five days at sea, aud price from London to Paris about £ 12 a horse. They would go by rail to a place called Dax ( oil the line to Bayonne), and thence walk to Pau, a distance of between 40 and 50 miles, going through Ortez; but " Shamrock" can send by rail all the way from Havre or Boulogne to Dax. [ believe I have now said all that is necessary, and only wish I could meet " Shamrock " out huntiug there this winter, aud again meet the master of the hounds, for few better fellows live thau he. I will recommend " Shamrock" to call directly on his arrival on our vice- consul, Mr Taylor ( who is also the English banker there), will, with his usual kindness and ur- banity, tell him and put him in the way of anything be may want. If " Shamrock " is a bachelor he cannot do better than put up at the Hotel de France ; but thers are plenty of good lodgings.— Yours, & c, OXE OF LAST YEAE'S COMMITTEE OP THE PAU FOXHOUNBS. THE " NOBLE SCIENCE" AT GIBRALTAR. MEEDITOE: I am anxious, through themedium of your columns, to draw the attention of some of the masters of hounds in the Euglish counties to the struggle which is now taking place in this garrison to keep up the old established pack of Caipe Fox- hounds. The funds of the hunt suffered much during the late war, owing to the various changes in the garrison during that period, and at present the strength of the force here being re- duced to the Royal Engineers, Royal Artillery, and four regi- ments of the line, though the officers of the different corps have subscribed most liberally, we find it just possible ? o keep the pack going without paying £ 5 a couple for new drafts. The consequence is, that our pack is not as strong as it ought to be to hunt twice a week iu sucii a rugged country as we have got to cross over in search of sport. We .' nave now got 20 couple in the kennel, but it is not an easy matter to bring out 15 couple each hunting day out of so small a muster ; and the covers are very strong and the work on hounds very severe. If breeding hounds here wound answer, we could get on right well; but it has been tried yery often, and, strange 10 say, it has never answered, the produce turning out worse than useless. My object in writing this letter is, that I know our brother sportsmen in England would be sorry to see an old pack " come to grief;" and if one or two of the generous masters of hounds in " old England', would now and then send us a draft from Liverpool, we would return them our sincere thanks, and endeavour to keep up the credit of sporting England in this country.— I am, sir, your obedient servant, A CALPB FOX- HUKTEK. Gibraltar, Oct 25. THE BPETOif HUNT— The stables erected at Lincoln by Lord Henry Bentinck for the Burton Hunt are now completed. His lordship liberally entertained a large party of the workpeople at the close of their operations. thi « nwasion and if he snoke for hours hn rnnlrt nnf- pnnvfv to.. straight as the crow flies to Sockburn Bridge, where he crossed them more thsm was emtodied iif the simple tCTm3 that W^ y we^ ?, ver tlie Tees. and being hard pressed, he fook the road all corned him back with every feeling of pleasure and delight, that they hoped he would stick by them for years to come, and that every success might attend him and his hounds [ much cheer- ing]. The toast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm, and rounds of hunting honours were given in rapid succession.— Mr Drake rose, and said that what little speech he had ready for them they had quite driven out of his head by their enthusiastic and hearty cheers. They had indeed set him a most difficult task, for although he undertook to find them sport, he could not undertake to find words to express his gratitude for the kind and hearty reception which they had given him. It was far be- yond what he deserved, inasmuch as he had come to hunt this country for their pleasure and his own ; but whether it was for theirs or his, he would do his best to show them sport, and he could assure them that no man who went home after a bad day's sport went to bed so sulky as himself [ laughter and cheers]. There was however, this drawback to a master of hounds— that _ ... he could not make the scent; and though he might get over a one I shall allude to, was the hunt dinner given to the master fence, he could not make a fox run straight [ laughter]. There was* of the hounds, at which were present Monsieur le Prefet, His the way to Neasham, and saved his life this time by taking the drain which leads to the cellar at Neasham Abbey, and ss lives " to fight another day." Of course our hospitable squire opened his house to all, and after plentifully refreshing the inner man, we wended our way homewards, and many and loud were the excla- mations, that " the gallant Hurworth Hounds may long con- tinue under the present spirited management."— Yours, & c, YOICKS. HUNTING AT PAU ( SOUTH OF FRANCE). ME EDITOE : I have much pleasure in being able to assist your correspondent " Shamrock" in his inquiries as to the " Cliasse du Benaud," at Pau. In the first place he must dis- abuse his mind of ( if he ever saw them) the anonymous letters published in Bell last winter. I am not going to rip up what I hope is at an end for ever. When he arrives at Pau he will be able to judge for himself. The best refutation, however, and t he only CENTEAL CRIMINAL COURT, THE FATAL FIGHT AT PADDIXGTON.— On Monday George Grouudwell and Henry Rubridge were indicted for the man- slaughter of Wm. Hodgskin.— Mr Or ridge prosecuted ; the pri- soner Grouudwell was defended by Mr Ribton. The other prisoner was undefended. The charge arose out of a fight that took place between the prisoner Groundwell aud the deceased in the Harrow- fields, at Paddington, on the 21st day of October. The facts have all been given within the last few days.— The jury found both prisoners guilty, but recommended them strongly to mercy.— The Recorder said that if the fight had been the consequence of a quarrel between the parties he would not have passed so severe a sentence as he was about to do, but it appeared that they had fought for money, and this was a great aggravation of the offence. He then sentenced Ground- well to six and Rubridge to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. THE BALL'S- POND MURDER.— On Saturday week Richard Thomas Davis was indicted for the murder of his wife. The murder was committed after a quarrel between the man and his wife, and after they had been drinking at various public- nouses. It appeared that the prisoner cut his wife's throat with a razor, and, when the people in the neighbourhood assembled round him, he said " I have done it for her this time ; I am a happy man now, and I will die for it."— The jury found the prisoner Guilty, in expiation, he said, " I loved my wife too well to do her harm, but my senses were gone, from the liquor I had taken. If it had not been for that I would not have hurt her."— The prisoner was sentenced to death without hopes of mercy. THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S PEISON.— On Monday Anto- nio de Salvi, who was convicted of the manslaughter of Mr Ro- bertson in the Queen's Bench Prison, was placed at the bar to receive the judgment of the court.— His lordship briefly reca- pitulated the circumstances of the case, aud said that it appeared he had been originally tried upon two indictments which con- tained two counts, one charging an intent to murder and the other an intent to do grievous bodily harm, and the jury had found him guilty upon the last- mentioned count, aud he had therefore been sentenced to undergo fifteen years' penal servi- tude. The death of the party who was the subject of his vio- lence, he said, rendered it necessary that he should take his trial upon a charge of a different character, and having been arraigned upon an indictment for wilful murder, the jury had ag tin nega- tived the intent to murder, and had found him guilty of the offence of manslaughter only. The jury were the constitutional authority to dispose of matters of fact, and he ( the learned judge) always felt it to be his duty to give full effect to their decision, and therefore in this case he felt that he was not called upon to alter the sentence that had been passed upon the prisoner on the former occasion, that of fifteen years' penal servitude, except in the respect that the sentence would date from the present session instead of that at which he was convicted originally. EMBEaaLEMENT BY A SoiDiER.— On Monday Joseph Holder, 37, soldier, a gentlemanly dressed man, pleaded guilty to an in- dictment charging him with embezzling the sum of £ 1,153 10s, the property of our lady the Queen.— Mr Edwin James, Q. U., on behalf of the prisoner, said that he had pleaded guilty to charges which could not be answered otherwise, and what he had to offer in mitigation upon his behalf was, that he had undertaken an office which was not suited to a man who was unacquainted with business like the prisoner. His duties consisted in keeping a large system of accounts, which he was unable to do, and they had fallen into confusion, which had led to his present defalca- tions. From the fact of so many recruits enlisting aud leaving, the accounts entrusted to the prisoner were too difficult tor him to manage.— Mr Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution, did not state any of the particulars to the court.— Mr Baron Martin, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had acted very pro- perly in pleading guilty, aud he could not agree with the learned counsel as to the confusion in the accounts being the cause of the defalcations when he saw the amount of them. It was most painful to have to pass sentence upon a man iu pri- soner's position, who had been a captain in the army. The fact of being placed in his present situation was doubtless more keenly felt by him ( prisoner) than would be any ssntence which he ( the baron) could pass. It was no excuse to put forward that persons were unfit for the offices which they undertook. The poorer classes, who could ill afford it, were heavily taxed to meet the expense, and offences like these could not be passed over slightly, and he felt it to be his duty to mark the present one with a sentence which, to a man in prisoner's station, would be felt severely, altttough in itself it was a very lenient ose. He was then sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. Grace of Hamilton, that noble sportsman the Earl of Yar borough; all the subscribers to the hunt, and many who were not, have already put their names down. Your correspondent will find in Pau a small colony of English, with capital society of the most agreeable kind. He will find a very tolerable pack of hounds, quite good enough, and, I have no doubt, will be im- proved by some drafts from a few of the best kennels of England, sent over this year. Although he will not find the green pastures of Leicester or the Vale of Aylesbury, he will find a good provin- cial country, with plenty of jumping in the way of bfe banks and ditches, and, what is of consequence, an extraordinary scenting country, so that few foxes can stand long before hounds; he wilt sometimes find a sun overhead shining like June in England, and I hounds running as hard as ever they can split. I should recorn- • mend him to take two nags, if possible mares, and the better ! bred the better, as, in case of his not liking to bring them back ! premises* again about two. but saw nothing, home, English mares are sure to fatch a good price, and, of uninsured. IEON SHIP- BUILDING,— We have been favoured with a pe- rusal of the printed correspondence with the Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty by John Clare, jun, of 21, Exchange- buildings, Liverpool, sole inventor and patentee of improvements in ship- building, metallic masts, spars, & c, through the medium of which ships for war purposes can be constructed proof against fire and shot, and that cannot leak or sink, developing maximum strength with minimum weight of material.;: Mr Glare brought before the Admiralty his improve- ments for iron ship- building about the last week in December, 1853, or the tirst week iu January, 1851. - On the 11th of June, 1854, Mr Clare was sent by the Hon Sir M. F. F. Berkeley, M. P., from Whitehall to Somerset House to see the Surveyor of the Navy about gun- boats, & c, but Mr Clare beiti* frightened by red tape, Ac, left them until the 7th of June, 1855, when at the request of Lord Panmure he addressed the Admiralty at Whitehall, when he was requested to send iu his plans for the floating batteries. On the 9th and 16th of July, 1855, Mr Clare sent the plans as requested, accompanied by a letter, iu which he said:—" Such is my conviction of the efficiency of this mode of constructing gun- boats, that I beliuve they will sustain the fire of the Russian forrs without being injured. I should like much to see this form of gun- boats reported upon by the constituted authorities." Mr Clare being wide- awake to routine business, sent copies of the same plans on the 17th July, 1855, to the Emperor of the French, saying—" I have no hesitation in stating, from the improvements I have patented in ship- building, that gun- boats can be built of a very light draft of water, with a resistance to shot, hitherto unknown, and I am also of opinion that vessels can be efficiently constructed so as to pass the forts at Cronstaat and Sebastopol without being injured." Mr Clare has the Em- peror of France's acknowledgment of the plans, dated Palais des Tuileries, le 25th July, 1S55. After the tortoiseback boat was tried in the Crimea, and found to repel 611b shot, the British Government built three floating batteries, as alleged by Mr Clare, from the plans sent to them by him ; and Mr Clare charges them with adopting his plans, and then not only refusing to grant him any remuneration, but even to acknowledge the fact. This appears a great injustice to Mr Clare, but we fancy from what we have seen of him, he is not the man to be easily put off when he has a grievance to set right. SUSPECTED MYSTEEIOUS MURDER AT EASTBOUENE.— This quiet watering place has for some days been the scene of consi- siderable excitement, in consequence of the discovery of the body of a boy, who, there is no doubt, has been almost starved to death and then murdered. On Thursday morning week, between eight and nine o'clock, a3 Sergeant J ames King and Charles Bartlett, gunner of the Royal Artillery, stationed at Laugley Fort, near to Eastbourne, were strolling on the beach, they saw a box lying a little below high- water mark. Thinking they had got a prize, their curiosity led them to spring a board, when they discovered the hand of a human body. The box and its contents were then taken to Laugley Fort, and information of the discovery was, as early as possible, given to the police. The box was then opened, and the body was found to i; e that of a boy of from 13 to 14 years of age. It was wrapped in six pieces of canvas, new and old, a new table cloth, and on the body was a coarse shirt, a cotton handkerchief being tied round the neck, and on the head was a black cloth cap turned up with plush velvet and a gold tassel. The box was in the lorm of a sexagon strongly made of deal, with pieces of rope at each end to form handles. In the bottom of the box were shavings, and a kind of pillow formed of the same.— On Saturday, an inquest was held on the body before Mr F. B. Gell, coroner^ and iu addition to the evidence, of which the above is a narrative, Dr Jefferey gave the result of a post- mortem examination. He was of opinion that the boy had been almost starved to death, and then struck with a heavy blunt instrument, strong marks of which were visible, and which caused death. The body was most emaciated, con- sisting of only skin and bone. The skull was indented. The organs of the stomach were generally healthy, but the stomach was completely empty. He was of opinion that the body had been dead from six to ten days. The inquest was adjourned in order to make inquiries into this mysterious affair. It is the general opinion that the boy was murdered, aud also that the box was placed at the spot where it was fbund, auu had not been washed there. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE MUSIC HALL, BRIGHTON.— Early on Tuesday mominz, an alarm was given that the Sussex Music Hall, Edward- street, Brighton, was on fire, and . he police were quickly on the spot with the tire hosing; but all attempts to get the fire under were utterly useless, and in less than half an hour after its discovery it had burnt itself out, and this place of amusers. ent is once more a complete wreck. There is not a piece of timber standing sufficient to make a lucifer- match ; the interior of the walls presents no other view thau a heap of char- coal and fragments of iron pillars. So sudden was the conflagra- tion that not a thing was saved, and the interior must have been completely gutted before the fire was observed, which was not done till the roof fell in, when the flames shot high into the air, illuminating for a few moments the buildiugs areund, as far as the Town Hall, and then gradually died out, leaving nothing but the smouldering ruins for the water to play upon. At a quarter past three o'clock a carpenter living opposite looked out of his window, but saw nothing, and the police- constable on that beat passed about the same time, but there were then no symptoms of fire. The origin of the fire is at present a mystery, for everything was considered safe at half past twelve, when the proprietor, Mr Burton, retired to bed; aud two of his servants, examined the LAW INTELLIGENCE. THE CASE OF SLANDEE BY A COUNTESS.— In the Common Pleas, on Tuesday, iu the case of Highmore v Lord and Lady Harrington, tried at the last, Derby Assizes, and which resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £ 750, MrE. James, Q. C., now | moved to set asid « the verdict " on the ground thai the damages were excessive. The action was brought by the plaintiff, who is vicar of Eivaston, to recover damages for a slander uttered by Lady Harrington respecting him. The plaintiff was vicar of the parish in which Eivaston Castle, the seat of Lord Harrington, was situated, and it appeared there had been some quarrels in the parish, regarding which Lady Harrington adopted one view contrary to that of the vicar. The defence set up was that the alleged slander had been much exaggerated in being repeated, and was never intended to be repeated. It appeared that a Mr Jones was the curate. of the parish, and that one Sunday he went to take luncheon at the castle, and after luncheon, w hen in the drawing- room with the Couutess of Harrington, a conversation took place relating to the Sacrament, when Lady Harrington, addressing Mr Jones, said, " We never take the Sacrament from Highmore, because he is so wicked a man. Whenever I take it I go to Alveston. I never take it here because of that man Highmore. He keeps the Sacrament money, and never gives any to the poor. He pocketed the money given for the repairs of the church, and is a low vulgar fellow, and so bad a character that Lord Harrington cannot receive him." This was the libel charged in the declaration. M r Jones in his evidence said he was the curate of tlw parish, and on the 22si of February last he went to the castle to luuch, aud saw the Countess of Harrington in her drawing- room. After the ordinary compliments of tfee day her ladyship asked who administered' the Sacrament on th^ following Sunday, when he said Mr Highmorc. Her ladyship then said, " We never take the Sacrament from that man High- more, because he is so wicked a man. He is always playing cards and gambling. Me and his wife are constantly drunk'and lying rolling on the floor. He is always telling lies, and never speaks the truth." For the defence Lady Harriugton was called aud gave a modified version of this conversation. Her account was that she said Mr Highmore was not a good man, that he had not accounted for the Sacrament money, but never said he had pocketed it. That the Duke of L- inster had given £ 10 and the farmers £ 20 to throw open the tower of the church, which was used as a coal- hole, and that Mr Hi^ hmore had not for vi. ars applied the subscription to that purpose. She did not say he gambled, but did say that two curates of Mr liignmore were drunken, and she might have said that Mr Highmore had beeu a rider at Astley's.— The learned counsel submitted that party politics ran very high in Derby shire, and that the damages given for this conversation with the curate, not intended to be repeated, and repeated only to the plaintiff, were excessive.— The Lord Chief Justice: That all depended on how far the jury gave credit to Mr Jones's statement. Supposing they gave credit to him and believed that Ltdy Harrington said the plaintiff was appropriating the Sacrament money intended for the poor, and that he and his wife were rolling; drnuk on the floor, I must say I think the damages anything but excessive.— Mr James submitted that it was Mr Jones's duty to have put Lady Harrington on her guard, and not to have gone as a tale- bearer.— The Lord Chief Justice: We are ail of opinion that tiiero should be uo rule in this case. Iu a conflict of evidence b- twesu Mr Jones and Lady Harrington submitted to a special jury, it was very unlikely that ail the twelve should have been of hostile politics. The matter having been submitted to the jury, and they having found Mr Jones's statement worthy of belief, and taken that as the basis en which they found their verdict, I, for one, have no hesiiation in expressing my opinion that the damages are not at all excessive, considering the de- structive character of the slander against Mr Highznore as a gentleman and a clergyman.— The oiher learned judges were of the same opinion.— Rule refused. DAMAGES AGAINST AN OHNIBUS PROPRIETOR.— IN the Bail Court, on Tuesday, an action was tried, brought by a person named Januaway against Mr Balls, proprietor of the Brixton omnibuses. The plaintiff is a greengrocer at Walworth, and his case, as it appeared from his evidence and that of the witnesses called by him, was that on the morning of the 13 th of November, 1856, about 20 minutes past ten, he was drawing a truck full of vegetables along High- street, Borough, on his way home iram market; near St George's Church there was a cart in his way, and he pulled up OH his own side of the road quite close to the kerbstone. At the moment the defendant's omnibus, drawn by three horses and going very fast on the way to town, came up. There was a waggon before it. The driver pulled to the wrong side to pass, his fore wheel struck the truck, it swung round, and the plaintiff was thrown under the omnibus, the hiud wheel of which passed over his legs. He was conveyed to St Thomas's Hospital, and remained an in- patient for 24 weeks; he was still very weak, and almost incapable of doing work. After he was knocked down the driver took no notice of him, but drove on until he was stopped by a man who had witnessed the occur- rence. For the defence the driver and conductor of the omnibus, and some of the passengers who were outside at the time, were called. Their statement was that the omnibus was going at a moderate pace; just be! ore the accident the driver pulled out towards the centre or the road iu order to pass three or four carts which were drawn up at his nearside; the plaintiff and two other men with trucks were on his off side some distance from the kerbstone; he called out to them, and the fore wheel passed without touching; the plaintiff then turned iu towards his own side, in doing which he turned the tail of the truck, and the hind wheel of the omnibus struck it, it swung round, and the plaintiff was knocked down. He, however, got up almost immediately, and did not appear to be much hurt. All the de- fendant's witnesses stated positively that the wheel could not have passed over the plaintiff. The driver pulled up as soon as he knew that a man had been knocked down, but he drove on sgaiu, as it did not appear that any serious injury had been done. The jury eventually returned a verdict for the piaiutiff. Damages— £ 100. FICTITIOUS BILLS AND FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTS.— In the Court of Bankruptcy, on Tuesday, Commissioner Holroyd gave judgment iu the case of Sadgiove and Ragg, upholsterers, of Eldon- street, Finsbury. He said the course of trading pursued by these bankrupts was both reckless and dishonest." No case within his experience exhibited a more glaring abuse of the fa- cilities given for operations by the free circulation of bills of ex- change, or, as regarded Raeg, a more shameful dereliction from the duty which lie owed to those in his power, forgetting alto- gether the relation of master and servant; and his conduct as a trader was certainly not rendered less culpable by the effrontery with which, when under examination, he had admitted the charges made against him. The bankrupt Sadgrove, having for some time previously carried on the trade of upholsterer, in September, 1854, formed a partnership with Ragg, who had beeu a bill broker. They continued the business of upholsterers, commencing with a capital of about £ 2,000, of which Sadgrove had £ 930, and . Ragg the remainder. After less than two years aud a half trading— namelyv January, 1857— the bankrupts attempted to make an arrangement with their creditors, and to wind- up under inspection. The proposal was that the part- nership should be dissolved. Ragg was to retire, and Sad- grove was to continue the business; and the creditors were to be paid a csmposition of 12s. in the pound. Tiiis arrange- ment failing, on the 19th of February following they were adju- dicated bankrupts on their own petition. At that date they owbd in round numbers £ 22,670, exclusive of liabilities on cus- tomers' bills receivable, discounted, £ 6,546. About £ 12,500 of the £ 22,670 were debts contracted on fictitious biils. The assets promised to pay 9s or 10s in the pound. The returns for the two years and a half over which the balance- sheet extended amounted to £ 141,391, the gross profits being £ 15,222, or about 10J per cent., while their trade expenditure was £ 15,599, or about 11 per cent. The losses were £ 4,864, of which £ 2,563 were by bad debts. Sadgrove's drawings had beeu £ 2,447, and Ragg's £ 461. The bills of exchange received from customers for value amounted to £ 95,271, most of which were discounted; and in the trade expenditure there was an item for discount of £ 3,508. The trade expenditure exceeded the profits by about J per cent, leaving nothing for division between the bankrupts. It appeared that the bankrupts had not only dis- counted their customers' bills, but that early in the partnership, iu February, 1855, they had commenced the dangerous system of accommodation paper. It was hardly necessary to observe upon the pernicious effect of a fabricated credit by an undue use of accommodation bills. It was notorious iu the commer- cial world that money raised in this way generally bore high rate of interest. In the present case 10 or 12 per cent had be « n paid. It was obvious that the payment of a high rate of in- terest on borrowed capital as against the ordinary rate ef mer- cantile profit— in this case about lOf per cent on the returns- must, when systematically pursued, be productive of ruin to the borrower. What other result could Sadgrove and Ragg expect '< The only way in which a trader could with safety trade on bor- rowed capital was by borrowing of those who did not wish to make use of their capital themselves, but were willing to lend it for a considerable period of time, and satisfied with a moderate rate of interest for the use of it. Widely different were the dealings in accommodation paper. The spurious paper issued by the bankrupts in 1855 amounted to £ 8,722, and in the follow- ing year it had increased to £ 29,355, and in the few mouths of 1857, £ 1,300 more Much of this paper was discounted by a person named Moore, one of the opposing creditors. Looking at the evidence of Moore aud his son, there was no doubt that Ragg induced Moore to believe that the bills which he offered for discount were trade bills, and that Moore discounted them with that belief. Whether they were trade bills or not might perhaps not be very material to the discounter, who might be considered to take them upon the credit of the persons whose names were on the bills. Still this would not operate as a license for deceit on the part of the borrower. Fictitious bills were not only injurious to the public, but to the parties engaged in their negotiation, destroying, as they must, all confidence, and striking at the very root ot commercial morality. It turned out that the bills in question were manufactured by Ragg, that the acceptors in many instances were nonentities, or irrespon- sible persons with false descriptions, some of them in the em- ployment of the bankrupts themselves, and hired, he might say, for the very purpose. Two er three instances would suffice. Taylor, a person in the bankrupts' employ, living in London, and who had accepted for £ 20,000, was described as of Moreton- house, Ryde, Isle of Wight. This person, by Ragg's permission, detained £ 200 of moneys which he had received for the firm as a douceur for accepting bills. He was in the receipt of a salary of £ 150 a year. Being a man of no substance, and in order to get relieved of his liabilities for Sadgrove and Ragg, he had become bankrupt. Another acceptor, Bradley, was described as an upholsterer, of Portsea. Ragg desired Myers, one of his clerks, to accept in Bradley's name, and said that this was by Bradley's directions, he, Bradley, being unable to sign. No such person was to be found at Portsea. Then there were bills on Brown, of Stratford- terrace. It was said that he did at one time reside there. Alfred Sadgrove, nephew of the bankrupt, accepted in Brown's name, by Ragg's direction, Brown having, according to Ragg's account, giveu a verbal authority for young Sadgrove to accept bills for any amount wanted— not a very cre- ditable story. Another bill directed to Mr Irons, of Middleton- terrace, Maida- hiil, was accepted " M. A. Irons," It appeared to be Mary Anne Irons, a person who had been in the service of the bankrupts at Ss and 9s per week. She had accepted for about £ 2,000. Another acceptor, Smith, was described as of Ventnor, Isle of Wight. As to Ragg's expenditure and want of motive, he was not charged with a large expenditure on himself. It was conceded that his drawings, as compared with those of Sadgrove, were moderate. By the articles of partnership each partner might draw £ 3 a week, to be duly accounted for. Ragg's drawings were about £ 4, and he owed his private creditors £ 440, assets, £ 73. He had also incurred losses on his private account, £ 915, of which £ 650 incurred by the discount of bills for other persons, as against £ 200 received by him for such dis- count. As to motive, the motives of mankiad could seldom be satisfactorily ascertained. No doubt, however, the principal motive with Ragg was want of capital, and to obtain this he had recourse to the meanest devices. Capital he must have per fas aut iiefas; but, in truth, motives were out of the question when a person was guilty of conduct which he knew to be wrong. The presumption was that a party intended the natural conse- quence of his own act. One other circumstance affecting Ragg was, that by tke 12th article of the deed of partnership neither of the parties without the consent of the other was to draw any bill of exchange except in the usual aud regular course of the business of the partnership, or for the benefit thereof. The in- ference is obvious, that it was a gross breach of good faith in Ragg towards his partner, to put the name of the firm to such a vast mass of fictitious bills without the consent of Sadgrove. In justice to the bankrupts it should be stated that there was no imputation on their conduct since the bankruptcy; they had given their assistance to make the best of the estate. The Com- missioner finally observed t hat, having anxiously weighed all the circumstances of the case, the court considered that due regard to the interests of trade, to the preservation of good faith in commercial dealings, to the importance of accuracy and regularity in book- keeping, and the obligations of traders towards those in their employ, demanded a severe sentence. The judgment was, that the allowance of the certificate to the bankrupt Ragg be refused, and that of Sadgrove be suspended for two years irom the day of application; when granted, to be of the third class.— Mr Lawrance said that Sadgrove was suffer- ing from bodily infirmity, and asked for protection, which not being opposed, his honour granted.— Mr Cook hoped the court would grant protection to Ragg for 21 days, in case he might be advistd to appeal.— His honour said he could not do that, but would refrain from issuing a certificate of execution for that time. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. The monetary crisis has increased in intensity during the past week, and the liank rate has beeu carried to the unprece- dented point of 9 per cent. As may be naturally supposed, this disturbance hss or> cupied the public mind, and the position and prospects of the Money Market, though involved in so much ob- scurity, constitute the chief subject of conversation, especially in commercial circles. Trade in all departments is sensibly di- ininished; and unlews the measure adopted on Thursday proves sufficiently powerful to stop the drain of specie aud the pressure for dh count, it is imagined that the Government, mindful of the requirements of commerce, will sanction an additional issue of notes, or some other means of affording relief. The situation of the Bank of England is now more unfavourable than perhaps ever before known, and no blame is attached to the administration for the course they have pursued, since it ha3 resulted from circumstances over which they had no control. Iu addition to the calamitous effects which have occurred in the United Statts, the Indian mutiny has also acted prejudicially upon financial affairs here, and during the last two or three days shipments of gold to the Continent have beeu made for the purpose of obtaining silver for transmission to Bombay, Calcutta, & c. Notwithstanding the extreme rates of discount the applications for accommodation are continuous asd pressing. Numerous failures are occurring, and in Liver- pool especially the effects of the American crasti are becoming sensibly apparent. Amongst the most important failures }? , t, hat of Messrs Naylor, Vickers, and Company, whose liabilities are estimated at about a million sterling. Others it is thought will be brought down, and the remainder of the year is likely to be characterised by events which will form a most important chapter in the financial history of this country. Iu the manufacturing districts there is a general curtailment of operations. Mills are only partially worked, aud a large number of operatives are t:. ro » n out of employment. In the Miucing- lane produce m:. rset ail the principal articles of consumption are at very depressed prices. The Bauk of England return to the 4th inst gives the active circulation of nous payable on demand at £ 20,266,745, beingan increase of £- 3.500. The notes unemployed were smaller by £ 1,330,525. 1 he bullion iu both departments amounted to £ 8,497,780, being a decrease of £ 872,014. The Rest increased £ 66,080, the public deposits £ 10,204, and the other deposits £ 696,684. The Seven- day and; other bills were lessened! £ 6,245. The other Securities w ere increased £ 2,088,686. The Govern- ment Securities were smaller by £ 134,437. There has naturally keen a good deal of variation in the Consol market this week, consequent upon the perturbed state of mone- tary affairs. A rise in the Bank rate to 9 per cent— an unheard of point— was iu itself sufficient to produce a severe fall; but when the American news, the commercial distress, aad the failures are added, the decline, which has been nearly 2* per cent, cannot excite surprise. Consols closed yesterday at 8S$ f for money, and at 89 to 89£ for December, but late in the after- noon they dropped to 88i f and to 88f i respectively. Exchequer Bills, owing to the dearness of money, have recedcd to 23s to 18s discount. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities hava been depreciated. The latest prices, on Friday afternoon, of the English Funds were— Bank Stock, 2v9 11 Reduced Annuities, S7J | Consols, 85} j New Three per Cents. 87i f Long Annuities, 1 15 16 The Foreign Stock Market, during the past week, has been active. The fluctuations in Turkish Bonds, however, has been the chief feature. Prices, owing to the high rate for money and the advance in the minimum rate of discount, have in most instances shown a considerable decline. Turkish Six per Cents have receded 2 per cent, and the Four per Cents If to 2, Portu- fuese 1, Peruvian li, Sardinian 1, and Spanish Deferred f : > utch, Belgian, aud Brazilian Bonds were also a shade lower.

Caledonian have reached 34, Eastern Counties 24, Great Western 34, Lancashire and Yorkshire3, North Western 3, Midlands, North Eastern ( Berwick) 2, and South Eastern 2. The foreign and colonial undertakings were moderately active, but also ranged at lower quotations. Paris and Lyons declined 1, and Great Luxembourg 4; Grand Trunk of Canada receded 7, and Great Western of Canada 14* Joint- Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were not very extensively dealt in, and prices in several instances exhibited a downward tendency. Bank of Australasia declined 10s. Canada Land advanced £ 2, and Royal Mail Steam £ 1. The property is MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— A portrait of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil has just been completed, and placed in ^ ho royal group of this establishment.

AMERICAN THEATRICALS.— The New York Atlas, speaking of the production of " A Husband for an Hour," at Miss Laura Keene's Theatre, sajs—" The scenery of the piece was good, the costumes superb, aud the eases unexceptionable. Mr George Jordan, as Robert, a gardener, and afterwards as Lord Thornley, was very happy in his metamorphosis. Miss Laura Keene's acting of Julia, Countess de Clairville, proved still further her title to be considered the most ladylike actress on the stage. Jefferson made much mirth for the audience as Pierre Rouge, especially when being challenged by La Fleur ( Peters), he chose gloves a. the deadly weapons for the duel. Mr Wheatleigh's Marquis was truthful and telling, and the other parts had " the amplest justice done them." ROBBEEY OP ARMS AT BIRMINGHAM.— For a considerable time past a systematic robbery of materials of various descrip- tions given out by the War Department at the Tower, Ba « gott- street, Birmingham, to the Government contractors for the manufacture of small arms, has been perpetrated with the greatest impunity, and to such a serious extent, and with such skill and caution has it beeu carried on, that some thousands of pounds' worth of property has disappeared, apparently without the slightest clue to its recovery, and the detection of the offenders. Three men have been arrested, and were on Wed- nesday taken before the Birmingham magistrates, and remanded. It is understood that not less than 100 stand of arms are in- volved in the charge against these men. TESTIMONIAL DINNER TO ME T. B. SIMPSON, THE PROPRIE- TOR OF CREMORNE GAEDENS.— A dinner was given on Tuesday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate, to Mr T. B. Simpson, the proprietor of the Cremorne Gardens, Mr W. G. Lyle in the chair, by many of his neighbours in Chelsea, for the purpose of presenting that gentleman with a testimonial, " expressive of their hizh sense of his ability as a caterer for the amusement of the public," & c. The testimonial is valued at 250 guineas, and was manufactured by Mr Hancock, of Bruton- street, Bond- street. It weighs 350 ounces, and forms a very large and massive silver vase, chased vine pattern. The usual loyal toasts were drunk after the grace. Lord William Lennox responded to the toast of " The Army and Navy." Five out of six of his brothers had entered iuto the army, and one had been killed in the service of his country; two of his nephews had been wounded, one of whom survived to enjoy the higher privilege of a soldier- namely, the decoration of the Cross ef Victoria [ cheers]. The chairman, in a very elaborate speech, gave, " The Health of their Guest, Mr Simpson," who, he contended, nad done so much to give rational entertainment to the people. Mr Simpsen, in a very spirited response, alluded to a variety of facts which are patent to the public, and expressed in warm terms the compli- ment paid him by those to whom previously he had been un- known. Lord William Lennox gave " The Bar," to which Mr Edwin James, Q. C. replied iu a very able speech. A variety of toasts followed, and the evening was spent most agreeably to the company present, who numbered about 200 persons. DRAUGHTS.— Mr Sankell is surprised that, after the chal- lenge from Mr Harwood ( to whom he s « nt articles), no further notiee should be taken of the matter, but yet hopes that it will not end entirely in smoke.
