Here are two events to rejoice at— the drawback is the sad price we have had to pay for them. The loss in both cases is terrible — the special value of certain lives adding greatly to the regret occasioned by the numbers of the fallen. Nicholson and Neill, those noble soldiers, who showed that they had in them the true metal of which great men are made, are both lost to us, and many besides who had had before tljpir deaths no opportunity for acquiring great personal distinc- tion, but who must have resembled their noble leaders, since those leaders trusted them, and by their aid accom- plished more than could be expected, and quite as much as could be hoped. Well, indeed, have all the English in India, military and civilians, men and women, borne the dreadful crisis to which they have been exposed, and suf- fered the evils inflicted on them. The King of Delhi has been captured. Out of regard, we suppose, to his great age, his life has been spared. We can- not say that this reason for sparing him is sufficient or even defensible; but there is perhaps a prejudice in favour of it. Otherwise it does seem that an old murderer has no more title to compassion than a middle- aged murderer— nay, that he has less. The proclamations which this King during his short and bloody reign has issued, inciting his savage subjects to revel in deeds of blood, are such as would well demand a penal retribution. His sons, it seems, have been shot. They should have been hanged— for hanging is by them considered disgraceful, while shooting has no disgrace attached to it. Now they who provoked others to wanton murder of help- less women and children should have been disgraced to the uttermost, and no consideration of the rank of such culprits should have weighed against the heinousness of their guilt. It is to be hoped that this was not the cause of the difference in their punishment. Now has come the time when, as Lord Palmerston said the other day, the Governor- General will have to punish and to reward. His lordship need not have dwelt on the propriety of abstaining from indiscriminate vengeance. Englishmen do not desire to indulge in it. The guilty should be punished, and punished with a severity in some degree approaching to the atrocity of their crimes. But there is another class, the innocent, some of whom have suffered only in a less degree than ourselves. They who in danger have been actively faithful to us should be rewarded, should receive those things which men in general are accustomed to call " rewards," while they who have quietly followed their usual occupations— the people of the country generally— should also receive their reward. They should be rewarded by an improved system of govern- ment, by receiving the advantages which better education and a higher teaching of religion and morality than their own can confer j and thus we shall give every one cause to • rejoice that we have re- acquired that dominion which in the very hour of its peril was acknowledged by the whole world to be far better than that which it had displaced. « - LORD PALMERSTON ON THE ARMY. English Ministers enjoy great advantages if they will but properly employ them. The habit which people have in this country of speaking without fear induces, as of course, the belief that they will speak without falsehood. The statements of any speaker at a public meeting are always, therefore, taken to be as correct as his means of knowledge will enable him to make them. A Minister has the best means of knowledge upon many subjects, and is therefore at once credited for all that he thinks fit to say. A public meeting, and especially one which has almost become a national institution, affords him, therefore, the best oppor- tunity for diffusing opinions which he entertains, and in- forming the world of facts which he wishes to be known. The Lord Mayor's dinner, the grand civic event of the year, ensures to a Minister, where he is the speaker, the ready at- tention of an indulgent audience, and the certainty that the words he drops will be caught up with eagerness, and con- veyed with zealous activity to all parts of the world. No Government proclamation has a chance of one- tenth so wide ATthe Lord Mayor's dinner on Monday Lords Panmure and Palmer3ton made speeches, the former in returning thanks for the army, the latter in acknowledging the toast of her Majesty's Ministers. It might well be expected that most other topics would be, if not forgotten, at least unno- ticed, and that Indian affairs would be made to engross the attention of the company. But, in so employing the topic, Lord Palmerston contrived to introduce, apropos of the readiness with which the ranks of the army were filled up, a suggestion of a most mysterious kind as to the opinion which some people had entertained with respect to the con- dition of England ; he said— " My Koble friend, Lord Panmure, has alluded to the spirit which has been displayed throughout the country, and I am proud to say that, although we have despatched from these shores the largest army that I believe eve? left it at one time, we have now under arms in the United Kingdom as many fight- ing men as we had under arms before the news of the mutiny had arrived [ loud cries of Hear, hear]. And therefore, if any foreign nation ever dreamt in its visions that the exertions which we have been compelled to make in India have left us at all weakened, and that a different bearing may be observed towards us than in the hour of our strength, the manner in which the spirit of the country has gone forth, the manner in which the ranks of our army have been filled, the manner in which our forces have been replenished, will teach the world that it is not a safe game to play to attempt to take advantage of that which they had erroneously imaginud to be a moment of weakness [ lotid and protracted cheering]." It is often said with respect to politicians that they use speech for the purpose of concealing their thoughts, but surely this cannot be one of those instances in which that remark is applicable. There was no necessity for suggesting any such " vision unless there was a purpose to be an- swered by it— the well- worked- up sentence would not have been uttered; and this Ministerial dinner speech may, there- fore, be taken as informing the world that some power has dreamt that England is now in a state of weakness, that advantage may be taken of that weakness; and to such dreams the First Minister replies that this " vision" is en- tirely baseless, for that even as to enrolled ancbarmed soldiers, England is now fully as well prepared for war as before the news of the mutiny in India reached our shores. We deeply regret to believe that there was any necessity for making this statement to the world, but if that necessity existed there could be no occasion so happily fitted for dis- charging the task than the Lord Mayor's dinner. Perhaps, however, after all, the supposed " visions" of foreign Go vernments were as purely " imaginary as the skill, resolu- tion, and ability" which Lord Palmerston so charmingly discovered in Lord Canning's Government in India. Let us turn from this preventive announcement to con- sider the fact which it records. Foreigners say that we are not a military people ; and not a few of the projects, the well- considered and written projects for the invasion of England, have proceeded on the assumption that that was an established fact. Yet there is hardly any assumption which is more groundless. It is true that we have no con- scription, that public opinion runs strongly ( we hope it ever will do so) towards restraining the executive against in- dulging in the dangerous extravagance of a large standing army, and that even our tastes are little in favour of the barrack or the camp ; but give us a reason to be military and warlike, and the native energy of real freemen is at once shown in the manner in which they respond to the call which the honour or the interest of the country may make upon its sons. Not military, indeed ! We are highly mili- tary in the best sense of the word. Our soldiers are all volunteers ; they submit to, and show the good effects of, a stricter discipline than exists in any other army, and yet that discipline itself is tempered in its exercise by the con- sciousness that though the officer who may abuse his power is sheltered ( as in other armies) against any legal conse- quences for his misconduct, he is not sheltered against that free expression of public opinion, the strong influence of which is felt by the very highest. It is in the real freedom existing in England which secures the country a good army at any moment at which the country may require it. And if any one has indulged in the dreaming " visions" of which Lord Palmerston speaks, it would be well for him to correct his dreams by a little wide- awake reading of history, which would teach him that at no time do the citizens of a free State shrink from their duty to their country or despair of its fortunes. SUSPENSION OF THE BANK CHARTER ACT. The Ministers have given notice to the Bank directors that if the latter should think fit in the present pressure to issue notes in excess of what the Bank Charter Act allows, the Par- liament shall be asked for an Indemnity Bill. So much con- cession was, perhaps, rendered inevitable by the weakness or folly of speculators whose offences have brought sad conse- quences on many innocent people. How much of the present pressure in this country has arisen from a third cause— the desire of the paper- currency men to take advantage of tem- porary circumstances, and " put on the screw" to getarepeal of the act which is some check on them— it would not, per- haps, be easy to say. But they have made noise enough and uttered misrepresentations enough about the concession. They say that the Bank Charter Act has again " proved itself unequal to tbe occasion." This is a phrase no less vague in meaning than in words. No statute can ever be " equal to the occasion" of preventing men from feeling the consequences of their own gross folly. A paper currency, which is in truth what is aimed at by certain men, would increase, not prevent, such an evil as now exists. At pre- sent the bare announcement that the Bank may issue notes will stop the panic, and, as in 1847, it is very probable that the Bank directors will not be called on to do so. We are glad to observe that the Ministers desire to " prevent this temporary relaxation of the law being ex- tended beyond the actual necessities of the occasion," and therefore direct that " the Bank terms of discount should not be reduced below their present rate, and even then the discounts and advances are to be upon " approved securi- ties." Now that rate is 10 per cent. It is, therefore, clear that in practice the permission will directly benefit but few people, and most, if not all, of those would probably have been able to get advances from the Bank without it, for they could have offered the " approved securities" on which alone the Bank will even now discount bills. The occurrences of 1847 and of the present year are sup- posed to show the unfitness of the Bank Charter Act. Ia our opinion they prove its excellence. It is not any neces- sity which, resulting from the nature of things, might reason- ably be supposed to be the subject of legislative provision, that has produced the present pressure. No statute, there- fore, could have prevented it. In ordinary times the act works admirably— in times like these the intervention of the Government gives it an additional power, that of adapting itself to the most extra- ordinary contingencies. THE MONEY CRISIS.- THE AMERICAN LADIES. The speculating traders of the United States are the great disturbers of the money market, and are at this moment causing infinite fears and very considerable real distress throughout Europe. It tells little for the sense and truth, less for the gallantry of some of the writers for the American press and of their readers ( for writers snd readers have a wonderful and easily discovered sympathy with each other), that they attribute this mischief to overtrading in articles of feminine luxury. According to them " women's dresses have done it all." As the women of the United States have very little, if any, newspaper power in their own hands, this accusation is easily made, and will be made a hundred times where it can only be attempted to be answered once. The accusation is, therefore, made with comparative safety, and violent invectives are launched against the extravagance and ( now it is maliciously added) bad taste which the American ladies show in dress. Was there ever such an absurd accu- sation ? Unless the men were the accomplices of the women in their extravagance, but little would come of it in a na- tional point of view. Nay, we believe that but for that cir- cumstance it would have but a partial, and, so to speak, only individual development in the States themselves. But where the woman dresses too highly, it will in 999 cases out of 1,000 be found that the man equally indulges in dress, and indulges besides in a variety of other matters infinitely more perni- cious to his finances than dress. The excitement of gam- bling has been introduced into trade in the United States, to an extent which renders the present crisis the inevitable consequence of such mischievous folly. And the existence of this evil is daily and hourly cherished by the paper money system of the States. With a restrictive Bank Charter Act in New York, and some few other places, the United States would be saved from these monetary convulsions. THE PfiiNCEsa EOYAL.— The birthday of the Princess Royal will be celebrated in a more marked and public manner on the 21st inst than has hitherto been the case, not only on account of her approaching nuptials, but also to indicate that her royal highness has entered her eighteenth year— the age at which the members of the royal family attain their majority. Prince Fre- derick William will, of course, be present at this fete, which is expected to bo of unusual brilliancy and interest, Thia may be one of the main reasons why the Queen forgoes her usual visit to Osborne.— Court Journal. EAKLY MEETING OP PAELIAMENT,— The Times of Friday morning announces that Parliament is to ba called together at once, A council will, it understands, be held on Monday, at which probably Parliament will be summoned to meet at the end of 14 days. DEATH OE ME AECHIBALP HASTIE, M. P.— We regret to have to announce the death of Mr Archibald Hastie, M. P. for Paisley, which took place at Edinburgh on Monday last, Mr Hastie had been much indisposed for some months ; but it was hoped, until recently, that the strength of his constitution would enable him to recover. He WRS in his 65th year, DEATH OE MAJOE- GENERAI, WM. ROGERS.— This gallant officer died on Friday week, at Higbfield. He was youngest son of the late Sir Frederick Rogers, Bart. The gallant officer entered the army in June, 1802, and was for many years in the Queen's Bays, until his retirement on half- pay in 1826. His commissions bore date as follows:— Cornet, June 24,1802; lieute- nant, Feb 20, 1806; captain, March 4, 1813; major, June 23, 1825; lieut- colonel, Sept 26, 1826; colonel.

The following telegram was received through the Admiralty, at the Foreign Office, on the 11th of November:— The Pottinger arrived at Suez on the 2d inst, having left Bombay on the 18th ultimo. Delhi, which fell into on. r hands on the 20th September, was entirely re- occupied on the 21st, and the whole of the enemy expelled. In the assault of the 14th, 61 officers and 1,178 men, being one- third of the storming force, killed and wounded. General Nicholson had died of bis wounds on the 21st. The old King, said to be ninety years of age, surrendered to Captain Hodson and his cavalry, about fifteen miles south of Delhi. He was accompanied by his chief wife; their lives were spared. Two of his sons and a grand- son, also captured by Captain Hodson about five miles from Delhi, were shot on the spot, and their bodies brought to the city, and exposed at the police- office. Two moveable columns were despatched from Delhi on the 23d, in pursuit of the enemy. By accounts from Agra, one column appears to have reached the neighbourhood of Allyghur, and the other that of Muttra, on the 28th of September. General Havelock, with 2,500 men, crossed the Ganges from Cawnpore on the 19th of September, and relieved Lucknow Residency on the 25th, just as it was mined, and ready to be blown up by its besiegers. On the 26th, the enemy's entrenchments were Btormed, aad on the 29th a large part of the city was taken. 450 killed and wounded. General Neill killed. Madras troops defeated the mutineers of the 52d near Kemptee, and killed 150. Predatory tribes in the Punjab, between Mooltan and Lahore, have given some trouble lately, but the disturbance appears to have been suppressed. The Emeu arrived at Suez from Australia on the 3d inst, having been on shore near Aden. The Hindostan arrived at Suez from Calcutta this morning, with Calcutta dates of 9th October, Madras 14th October, Galle 18th October. News via Bombay confirmed. This intelligence received from Acting Consul- General Green at Alexandria, 5th November, 1857, for the Earl of Clarendon. Cagliari, Nov 10. 10: 30 p. m. Consul CRAIG. LYONS, Admiral and Commander- in- Chief. The following despatch has been received by the India Board, addressed to Sir J. Melvill:— ALEXANDRIA, NOV 5, 1857. Delhi was entirely in our possession on the 20th of Sep- tember. The King and Queen captured on the 21st by Lieutenant Hodson. Two of the King's sons were killed. No official account has yet been received, but our loss is much greater than was at first supposed. The mutineers have gone towards Rohilcund and Muttra, and some to Oude, being followed up by our troops. Mr Greathed, Commissioner of Delhi, died 19th September, of cholera, and General Nicholson on the 23d, of wounds received in the assault. Lucknow relieved September 25; particulars not known. Our loss was severe— about 500 killed and wounded ; Ge- neral Neill amongst the killed. The relief just in time, the enemy having advanced their mines, which would have placed the garrison at their mercy. Advanced guard of the Madras columns defeated the mu- tineers of the 52d Bengal Infantry, near Jubbulpore, on the 25th, killing about 150. The Malwa country is in a dis- turbed state. Bhopawur has been burnt. Dhar, Amjheera, and Mundesor are disaffected. Forces are moving towards Mhow. All is quiet in Scinde, but the state of the frontier is not satisfactory. General Jacob proceeds immediately to Scinde. Cagliari, Nov 10, 10.45. The Morning Post of Friday publishes the following telegram, received via Marseilles :— The Vanguard brings intelligence from Bombay to the 17th of October. The news previously received is confirmed. Two native soldiers had been blown from guns for con- spiring to mutiny. Lieutenant J. W. Henry had been killed in a rash attack, with police, on insurgent Bheels in Kandeish. It was reported that Lucknow, which had been relieved on the 25th of September, was again besieged by Nana with 50,000 rebels. The King of Delhi surrendered on the 21st of September to Captain Hodson, near Khootub Minar, 15 miles south of Delhi. He is a prisoner in his own palace. His two sons and his grandson, also taken by Captain Hodson, were shot on the 23d of September. Two columns of our troops were in pursuit of the rebels, one under Colonel Greathed, on Allyghur, the other upon the right bank of the Jumna towards Agra. Nothing positive was known of their pro- ceedings. It was thought the rebels were making for Oude and Gwalior. For all descriptions of grey goods there was active inquiry; in prints no change. Active inquiry for yarns, and consi- derable animation in the cotton market. The best wool was scarce; opium in active demand. The money market was easy, but a scarcity was expected. Exchange on London, 2, 13- 4, 2, 2. By the Vigilance, it is stated that the discovery of an in- tention to mutiny by the native troops at Bombay had caused a great sensation. Havildar Syed Hossein and Sepoy Mungul had been blown from guns. On the night of the 21st of September the Queen's health had been drunk by the conquerors in the palace at Delhi, the cheers being taken up by Ghoorkas. Lieutenant- Colonel Burn was Governor of Delhi. Besides General Neill, Major Cowper of the Artillery, Capt Pakenham, and Lieut Webster Bateman were killed at Lucknow. All the city people found in Delhi were bayoneted by our troops. Europeans were discovered there fighting on the side of the rebels. The following despatch was received at the India House on Friday:— CALCUTTA, OCT 8, 1857. Gen Outram telegraphs, on the 2d inst, that the insurgents are too strong to admit of withdrawal from Lucknow. Sick and wounded, women and children, numberjmore than 1,000. After making disposition for safety of garrison, Gen Outram proposes to retire on Cawnpore. He adds, that two addi- tional brigades with powerful field artillery will be required to withdraw with the garrison or reduce the city. Communi- cation between Cawnpore and Lucknow still interrupted. Latest news from Gwalior to 26th September. Scindia had brought the mutineers of the Gwalior Contingent under his control, by arraying against them his own troops and IOjOOO thakoors, cutting off their supplies, & c. Division and dissension among the mutineers, who were asked for aid by a Shahzadah from Delhi on the one band, and an emissary from the Nana on the other. The mutineers of the Ramgurh Battalion were defeated at a place called Chuttrah, on the 2d instant, by a detachment of the 53d Queen's, under Major English, with loss of guns, forty- five carts of ammunition, & cj some forty- five of our men killed and wounded. H. JOHNSON. Alexandria, Nov 7, 1857. RAVEN. Trieste, NOT 13, 8: 10 a. m. Despatches in the third edition of the Morning Post con- tain the following:— " The Valetta has arrived. The mails leave for London at ten o'clock. The passengers repog; General Havelock's position to be very critical. He is surrounded by a hostile population, is in want of provisions, and is encumbered with women and children. The Bombay Presidency is said to be in a state of great agitation, and if Delhi had not fallen there is every reason to fear we should have had to deplore fresh mutinies in the Bombay army." ROYAL VISIT TO THE LEVIATHAN.— On Saturday afternoon week his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanisd by the Prince of Wales, paid a visit to the Leviathan, and were occupied some time in examining the ship, the machinery, and general arrangements for launching her. In the course of the morning a kind of survey was made of the cradles on which the monster vessel sits, with a view of setting at rest the doubts that have been expressed as to their injured condition, It was averred, in a letter published in one of the morning papers, that owing to the great weight and pressure on the iron rails, which were laid down longitudinally on the ways, that they would be likely to roll up, as it were, the iron plates on the bottom of the cradles, and to embed themselves so much in the river as to render any further descent of the ship almost impossible. To disprove this supposition, an ex- perienced man passed under the kelson of the ship, close by the side of the cradles, and he could not discover the least failure, defect, or injury, to either the cradles or the ways. She sits as even and fair as she did on the morning of the launch. The ship itself continues uninjured, both as regards her build and position. Shehasnot experienced any material deflection, and neither has she exhibited any symptoms of settling. At low water on Saturday gangs of labourers were engaged in clearing the ways of the mud which the tides had left on them, but this in no way impaired the solidity of tbe work. It has been stated that another attempt might be made to launch her at the next spring tides, on the 17th instant, but we believe that the opera- tion has been definitely postponed until the 2d of December, and that the attempt will not be renewed until that day. It will be high water at London Bridge about twenty minutes past two o'clock, near the same time, within a few minutes, as on Tues- day week. The inquest on the body of Donovan, who died in Poplar Hospital from the injuries he sustained in the accident to the crank handle, has been held. Stacey, the next most se- verely injured sufferer, continues in a sad way, and at present it is difficult to say what may be the result. The other sufferers in the institution are going on favourably. THE FATAL ACCIDEXT AT THE ATTEMPTED LAUNCH OF THE LEVIATHAN.— On Monday an inquest was held at the Poplar Hospital, on the body of John Donovan, aged 70, who, with Anthony Maher, John Brown, Henry Stacey ( still re- maining in this hospital), and Henry Wise, received such exten- sive injuries at the attempted launch of the Leviathan steam- ship from Mr Scott Russell's yard, at Millwall, on Tuesday week. The evidence attached no blame to any person except the deceased himself, who, it seems, WBS not at his proper station, and a verdict of Accidental Death was returned. INDIAN BELIEF FUND.— THE PEOPLE'S POLKA.— Miss E. L. Glasscock, whose musical compositions have been received with such favour, both here and in Paris, has announced a Polka under the above heading, which it is to be hoped will be patro- nised by the musical world, when it is known the profits will be given to the subscription raised for our countrymen in the East. Government, and has treated the subject of the introduction of the passport system into England as if it deserved the honour of a discussion. Nothing is more absurd. The pro- hibition on the export of cereals, and also on their use in distilling, has been repealed. A new tariff for hackney coach and cab fares has been issued by the police. The Moniteur publishes an imperial decree, by which the Corps Legislatif is summoned to meet on Saturday, Nov 28. M Abbatucci, Keeper of the Seals and Minister of Justice, died on Wednesday evening. SPAIN. There has been a formal " report" made by three commis- sioners on the charges brought against Maria Christina, once the Queen Regent of Spain. The charge was that she had married Munoz shortly after the King's death, and was con- sequently liable to refund the large sums she had received under the King's will, and which were only to be paid while she remained a widow. There is no doubt that she had several children by Munoz from 1833 to 1844, when a mar- riage with him was publicly celebrated, but she has now succeeded in establishing that all these children were bas- tards, and so she escapes liability to repay the money! There was a scandalous scene which occurred last year, in presence of the wife of General Aleson, between Narvaez and Guel y Rente, when the latter was violently assaulted by the former. A duel was expected to ensue, but it was pre- vented by Nsrvaez having become a day or two after Prime Minister, when his adversary was obliged to quit Spain. Narvaez has now ceased to be Minister, and Guel y Rente has returned and challenged him afresh. The Madrid journals of the 5 th state that M Salazar, Minister of Marine in Espartero's cabinet, had addressed a letter to the Iberia, expressing the opinion that, in the event of new elections being ordered, the Progressist party ought to abstain from taking part in them. The Government had caused some political personages, imprisoned by direction of — » the late cabinet in the provinces of Valencia and Teruel, to civilians, individuals, and by knots of men, scattered over the be set at liberty, and ordered that all other political pri- enUre jiurlace of a^ great empire, without, feeling prcuder than The bauquet took place in Guildhall, which was decorated under the superintendence of Mr Bunning, the City architect, in a novel and unique style, and assumed a warlike appearance, the clustered columns on each side of the hall being surrounded with muskets, intermixed with halberd, bound together with festoons of laurel. In the centre of each compartment between the columns were trophies, composed of armour, swords, guns, and pistols, withj emblazoned shields of different countries, also bound together with laurel. On the embattled screens sur- rounding the hall ( which were fitted up temporarily for ventila- tion, the fresh air being admitted at the back of them) were bayonets and pistols, crossed so as to give the appearance of a chevaux- de- frise, backed up with flags and Union- jacks. Among the guests were the majority of her Majesty's ministers. After the spread the usual lojal toasts were given, and the Lord Mayor then proposed the health of " Lord Palmerston, Lady Palmerston, and her Majesty's ministers" [ cheers and laughter}. Lord PALMEESTON, on rising to respond to the toast, was most enthusiastically cheered from all parts of the hall. The noble lord spoke as follows:— My Lord Mayor, ladies and gentlemen: In my own name, on behalf of my colleagues, and in the name of my better half, I beg to return you our sincere thauks for the honour which you have done us in drinking our healths. Your lordship has alluded to the circumstance that you and I have often looked at each other from opposite sides of the table of the House of Commons. I am sure, and I am persuaded you will believe in my sincerity when I say, that it affords me infinitely more satisfaction to be sitting at the same side of your lordship's hospitable table to- night than to find myself sitting on the op- posite side of that unfruitful table which has so often separated us [ laughter]. My Lord Mayor: I was in hope that, at our meeting to- day, we might have been able to announce the arri- val of fresh intelligence from that quarter of the globe towards which all eyes are directed, and on whieh the hearts of all nifin are fixed. I was in hope that we might have had not informa- tion but ample details of that splendid exploit of arms which has culminated in the capture of Delhi. We trust that before many hours have elapsed we shall be in the receipt of intelligence which will cheer the heart of every Englishman, and will prove that the capture of that stronghold of mutineers and rebels has decided the fate of the contest, and that what remains to be achieved is merely the sequel of that which has been accom- plished, It is impossible for an Englishman to look to that which has been achieved in India not bjt soldiers only, but by soners should either be brought to trial or be released with- out delay. M Mon is engaged in preparing the estimates, and in making arrangements to relieve the country from its financial embarrassments. PRUSSIA. The King's health is getting better. BELGIUM. The difficulty of forming a Ministry seems to be increasing, and official communication becomes daily more compli- cated. The extreme Liberal is unable to form a Ministry because that party insists on engaging the King to accept a programme amongst which are the following propositions : — 1. Dissolution of Parliament immediately; 2. Entire change of Government officials; ever of the nation to which he has the happiness to belong. There never was an instance in the histery of the world of such splendid examples of bravery, intrepidity, resources, and s& f- reliance, accomplishing such results as those which we have wit- nessed. The Government at home may, I think, on the other hand, justly pride itself OH not having been wanting to the mag- nitude of the occasion. We took the earliest opportunity to despatch to India a great army— an army which had not yet arrived when those great victories were accomplished, but which, when it shall arrive, will find what remains to be doue comparatively easy of accomplishment, and which I have no doubt will establish the power and authority of England through- out the whole of our Indian empire. My noble friend, Lord Panmure, has alluded to the spirit which has been displayed in this country; and I am proud to say that, although we have de- spatched the largest army that ever at one moment left our shores, we have now under arms in the United Kingdom as many fighting men as we had under arms before the news of the mutiny ia India reached us. And, therefore, if any foreign natiou ever- dreamed in its visions that the exertions which we have been compelled to make in India had weakened us at 3. Permission to bring in several new bills. The King looked upon these propositions ^ as too dictatorial, and refused to accept a Cabinet uuder j home, and that " the time had arrived when a different" bearing such circumstances. At the same time the Conservatives might be exhibited to that, which it might be fit to assume in met and agreed to protest against the dissolution of Parlia- the moment of strength, the manner in which the spirit of the ment. The complications have been brought about in a ! °° uutry ha? sho^?. lt. self' *!"> ma? B- er 111 which the ranks of the great measure by the Jesuitical Churchmen, who, however, have now retired from the scene of action. The Belgian journals tell us that M de Brouckere, after having conferred with his friends, had declined to form a Ministry. M Rogier, Belgian Minister at Paris, had been received by the King. The Liberal journals of Liege, Ghent, and other large towns, demand a dissolution of Parliament; the organs of the clerical party oppose it. The King has consented to it, and the new Ministry has been formed as follows :— M Rogier, Minister of the Interior j M Frere- Orban, Minister of Finance; M Tesch, Minister of Justice; M de Vriere, Minister of Foreign Affairs; General Berten, Minister of War. The Chamber is to be dissolved. AUSTRIA. Count d'Apponyi, Austrian Ambassador at London, has arrived at Vienna, and had a conference with Count Buol and Sir H. Seymour on the subject of the Principalities. Sir H. Seymour declared that England would never consent to the political union of them under a foreign prince, and that the utmost she could admit would be an administrative union. Austria has gone on borrowing money to cover her yearly deficits, until no more can be obtained, and especially at such a crisis as this. Figures are worth all the speculations of the most clever heads. Men have only to look at her annual deficits since 1847 to come to a conclusion that Austria must be pretty nearly at the end of a road which leads to ruin. The following is a table of budgets:— Revenue. 1847 161,738,151 1848 122,127,354 1849 149,784,538 1850 196,253,220 1851 219,585,140 1862 226,365,108 1853 237,136,993 1854 245,333,724 1855 263,786,885 1856 273,162,276 Expenditure. 168,798,485 167,238,000 275,675,342 264,118,082 281,728,770 279,812,934 292,960,628 386,046,646 402,688,182 335,515,943 Deficit. 7,060,334 45,110,646 121,905,804 54,864,862 62,223,630 53,447,331 56,823,635 140,712,922 138,899,297 62,353,667 Some economy has been made this year, and newspapers have just been taxed, but railways have been sold, and Crown lands disposed of, and yet the radical evil remains the same. In Austria the Church now intermeddles with everything. During the " visitation" at Molk sharp words were ex- changed between the bishop and the mitred abbot of the convent, and the latter is said to have expressed his inten- tion to resign his office as chief of the monastic community if the diocesan meddled in matters which did not concern him. The Roman hierarchy is only intent on " reforming" those convents which are wealthy, and the public are much inclined to fancy that they would be left in peace if they would consent to contribute a good round sum towards the necessities of the Papal Government. Rome sells " indul- gences" to laymen, and there is no good reason why she should not be as complaisant towards the clergy. During the last fortnight the medical professors and stu- dents at the general hospital of Vienna have been in a state of great excitement and irritation. The Archbishop of Vienna not long since gave orders that ali the persons who died in the various hospitals and in the lying- in and found- ling establishments should be buried without either post mortem examination or dissection, and the consequence of the measure is that during the last ten or fifteen days there has only been one " subject" in the great dissecting halls of the general hospital. Vienna was proud, and had good reason to be proud, of its medical school, but the Concordat has given into the hands of the clergy the power to ruin its reputation. HUNGARY. There is little hope that Hungary will ever be able to compete successfully with Moldavia and Wallachia in foreign markets, as the price of labour is much higher in the Austrian Crown Land than it is in the Principalities. Some years ago Government was extremely desirous to induce German colonists to settle in Hungary, which is a thinly populated country, but the Roman Catholic Church objects to the introduction of foreign Protestants into the Austrian empire. So in obedience to the Church all the best German emigrants are kept out of the labour market. NAPLES. The Daily News correspondent, speaking of the state of things at Naples, says:— One of the most mortifying features in the aspect of things here to us English is the utter insig- nificance into which our name and influence have sunk. Baffled and almost derided by the Neapolitan Government, which is in fact the King, in our efforts to improve the state of things here; vacillating and apparently deceptive in our movements; with two British subjects shut up in prison during four months and denied all intercourse with their consul, so that one of them has been driven to desperation; whilst, after being exposed to a series of trickeries the prac- tice of which would have put any private individual out of society, another British subject is compelled to sell his pro- perty to the Government— it is no wonder that we have be- come a byeword in Naples. CHINA. A note in thePays says:—" We are informed fromLondon that the Government of the Celestial Empire officially de- clared war against England on the 12th of September." army have been filled, and our defensive force replenished, all teach the world that it will not be a safegame to play, to attempt to take advantage of that which was erroneously imagined to be the moment of our weakness [ loud cheers]. My Lord Mayor and gentlemen: It has been tha fashion among the people of the Continent to say that the English nation is not a military nation. In one sense, indeed ( the sense in which they use it), the assertion may be said to be true. An Englishman is not as fond as the people of some other countries, of uniforms, steel scabbards, and iron heels; but no nation can excel the English, either as officers or soldiers, in their knowledge of tha duties of the military profession, or in the zeal and ability with which those duties are performed [ cheers]. And wherever desperate deeds are to be accomplished— wherever superior numbers are to be boldly encountered and triumphantly overcome— wherever privations are to be endured— wherever the soldier has to con- front either individually or collectively— wherever, in fact, dan- ger is to be found, I will venture to say there is no nation on the surface of the earth that can compare with ours [ hear, hear]. And without indulging in too much national vanity, I may also say that there is no nation under the sun that can equal- in bravery the people of the British Isles [ cheers]. But while we all admire the bravery, the constancy, and intrepidity of our countrymen in India, we must not fail to do jsstice to our countrywomen [ cheers]. In the erdinary course of life the functions of the ^ omau are to cheer the day of adversity— to soothe the hours of suffering, and to give additional brilliancy to the sunshine of prosperity; but our countrywomen ia India have had occasion to exhibit qualities of a far higher and nobler description [ cheers]. And when they have had to sustain the perils of the siege, privations aud difficulties, painful and labo- rious escapes, aud to forget their own sufferings in endeavouring to administer to the sufferings and wants of others, the women of these united kingdoms have, wherever found in India, dis- played qualities of the noblest kind, and sueia as were never sur- passed in the history of the world—[ loud cheers]— and hence- forward the bravest soldier may think it no disparagement to be told that his courage and power of endurance are equal to those of Englishwomen [ continued cheers]. My Lord Mayor, when we also do honour and justice to the great bulk of our country- men in India, we must not forget tnat person who, by his ex- alted position in our Eastern possessions, stands at the head of our countrymen there— I mean Lord Canning [ hear, hear]. He has shown throughout the greatest courage, the great est ability, and resources ot no commen order. And by the cordiality which exists between him as head of the civil Government, and Sir Colin Campbell as head of the military service, we may rest assured that everything which the combined exertions ol both can accomplish will be effected to maintain the honour and the integrity of the empire. The task which Lord Canning has to discharge will be indeed a difficult one. He will have to punish the guilty— he will have to spare the innocent— and he will have to reward the deserving. To punish the guilty adequately ex- ceeds the power of any civilised man; for the atrocities which have been committed are such as could be imagined and perpe- trated only by demons sallying forth from the lowest depths of hell; but punishment must be inflicted, not, however, in a spirit of vengeance, but in a spirit of severity, in order that the ex- ample may deter the repetition of similar offences, and ensure safety to our countrymen and csuntrywomen in India for the future [ hear, hear]. Lord Canning will have to spare the inno- cent; and it is most gratifying to know that, while the guilty can be numbered by thousands, the innocent can be reckoned by millions, for the great bulk of the population have had no share in the enormities whieh have been committed. They have experienced the blessings of British rule— they have been en- abled to compare it with the tyranny exercised over them by their native chiefs and rulers, and taey have had no participa- tion in tbe attempts made to overthrow our dominion. And most remarkable it is tha*, in that portion of our empire which has been most recently created— 1 mean in the Punjab— where the people have the most recent experience of tha tyranny of their former rulers, they have been most loyal ov± the present occasion, and most attached to their new and benevolent mas ters. Lord Canning will have to reward the deserving; and many are there, high aud low, who have not only abstained from taking part in the mutiny, but who have most kindly and gene- rously sheltered the fugitives, rescued others from the assaults of the mutineers, and thereby established for themselves a last- ing claim for recompense from the Government of England. If Lord Canning receives that confidence from the Government and the people of this country, without which it is impossible for a man in his high position to discharge the duties which have devolved upon him, I am satisfied when this dreadful tragedy is over he will be found properly to have played his part, and that bis conduct will be marked with that stern and unflinching justice, but also with that discriminating generosity which are the distinguishing characteristics of the British people. The noble lord concluded amidst loud cheers by again returning thanks for the honour which had beea paid to himsalf personally aad the other members of her Majesty's Gavernment. The remaining toasts having been disposed of the company broke up. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The returns now exhibit that increase in the mortality which usually begins in the eleventh month of the year. In the present instance the increase is considerable, the deaths registered in London, which in the two preceding weeks were 988 and 1,047, having risenin the week that ended last Saturday ( November 7th) to 1,166. In the ten years 1847— 56 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last wees was 1,039. But population has increased, aud the same rate of mortality would have produced last week 1,143 deaths. The actual number is slightly in excess of the esti- mated number— a result which is not so favourable as those that have been recently obtained. In comparing the deaths now returned with those- ot the former week, and distributing the ages at death in five vicenaiads, it will appear that the increase above mentioned occurred in every period except that which ex- tends from 40 to 60 years. Among persons 60 years old and up- wards the deaths increased from 184 to 259. From diseases of the respiratory organs ( exclusive of whooping- cough and phthisis) the number of persons who died at all ages in the pre- vious week was 190; last week it was 261. Influenza showed itself, and, though only four cases are referred to it in the tables, part of the increase found under some other complaint is pro- bably due to its influence. The deaths from diseases of the di- gestive organs rose from 55 to 79. Under other heads the fluc- tuations are unimportant. The births were 859 boys, and 823 girls; total, 1,682. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer iu the week was 29' 748in. The mean reading on Saturday was 30' 072in, The mean temperature of the week was 53' 8deg, which is 7' Odeg above the average of AUSTRALIA.

She arrived leaky at Suez on the 3d of November, and transhipped Jb' 640,000 in gold to the Australasian, for Southampton, from Sydney and Melbourne. All was well at the gold fields. A prolific mine had been discovered at Aarant, 120 miles from Melbourne. No Australian mail has arrived; it is supposed to have been taken by the mail- boat Deddak, and in that case will reach Suez in three weeks. The wool market was very firm, and contracts were taken at a high rate. The coming clip was expected to be less than the last. Money tight. East India produce selling at fair prices. There had been great floods in New South Wales, and considerable destruction of property on the Hunter, Paterson, and other rivers. The ship Dunbar, from London to Sydney, had been totally lost. The crew and passengers, 140 in number, all perished, ex- cept one seaman, Johnson. The cargo was valued at .£ 70,000. A collision had taken place between the Lady- bird and Champion steamers, off Cape Otway, when the latter foundered, with the loss of from thirty to forty lives. Some prolific gold fields had been discovered at Nelson, in New Zealand; 1,500 ounces had arrived thence at Sydney. DEATH OE SIE CLEMENT WOLSELEY', BAET.— This re spected baronet is announced to have died a few days back at Brussels. He was born in 1794, and was only yon of the late Major John R. Wolseley. In 1S33 he married the eldest daughter of the late Mr P. Homrigh, M. P. for Drogheda. On the demise of bis uncle, the Rev Sir Richard Wolseley, in 1852, he succeeded to the baronetcy. The late baronet was formerly in the 80th Foot, in which regiment he served in India. He was high sheriff of the county Carlow in 1852, in which county the family have large estates. He is succeeded in the baronetcy by kis son, John Richard, born in 1834. DEATH OF LADY ELIZABETH COLE.— We have to announce the demise of Lady Elizabeth Henrietta Cole, youngest daughter of Edward, twelfth Earl of Derby, by his first marriage with Lady Elizabeth Hamilton, only daughter of James, sixth Duke of Hamilton, who died at the close of the past week, at her re- sidence at Chale, Isle of Wight. The deceased lady, who was step- sister of the Countess of Wilton, was born 29th of April, 1778, and was therefore in her 79th year. She married, 15th of January, 1793, Mr Stephen Thomas Cole, of Stoke Lyme, Oxon, who died in 1863, | shade occurred on Tuesday, aad was 64- 3deg; the lowest wa- 43' 9deg on the previous day. The mean daily range of tbe w » - was 10' ldeg. The greatest range occurred on Monday, an :" lo'Sdeg. The mean dew- point temperature was 62' ldeg, aikrttEf difference between this and the mean air temperature was only l' 7deg. The temperature of the water of the Thames ranged from 50 2deg to 54' 7deg. At the beginning of the week the wind was in the south- east; on the last four days it blew generally from the north- east. Rain fell to the amount of 0' 49in, nearly all of which fell on Wednesday. Loss OF THE ENGLISH SHIP FEANCES.— 1TWENTY LIVES LOST.— The following is a copy of a despatch which has been received at the marine department of the Board of Trade, announcing the melancholy loss of thisjship :—" British Con- sulate, Nin^ po, July 28,1857.— Sir : In conformity with the in- structions ot consuls based on the provisions of the Merchant Shipwiug Act, I have the honour to report to you, that on the 18th inst the British ship Frances, Captain Scott, master, was lost in a typhoon, near an island about half- way between this port and Shanghae. Twenty- five of the crew were saved, and arrived at this consulate oa the 24th inst. They state that, during the storm, the vessel ran for an anchorage under the island referred to, but after anchoring she soon commenced to drive, and was eventually dashed to pieces on the rocks. The master ( Captain Scott), the chief mate ( Mr Rowland), 18 sea- men, and one Chinese girl, lost their lives ; the others of the crew ( 25) got safely on shore, and remained there three days, during which time no part of the ship or cargo was seen on shore. From the statement of the crew, it was evident that the ship had been entirely destroyed, and it therefore did not ap- pear necessary to despatch any one from this consulate to take charge of the wreck.— I have, & c, ( signed) THOMAS TAYLOB MEADOWS, Vice- Consul in charge.— To the Secretary, Marine Department, Board of Trade." THEEE MEN SUFFOCATED,— An inquest was held on Tuesday at Rimpton, Somersetshire, on the bodies of George Cox, aged 20, Silas Tack, aged 46, aud Henry Pardy, aged 23. The father of the deceased first named is a dairyman, and has on his pre- mises a large tank for the reception of the whey, which is thence conveyed by a wooden shoot to the pig troughs. This tank was emptied of its contents, that it might be cleaned, and George Cox went down into it for that purpose. When at the bottom of the latter he was observed to stagger and fall. Tack then went down to his assistance, and fell in like manner, as did Pardy, who followed him. One of the bystanders, when part way down the ladder, perceived strong fumes of carbonic acid gas, by which there is no doubt that the men were killed. They were all dead when taken out of the tank. A verdict accordingly was returned. have 300 coaches, but by no i to work them.

General John JNichol- son, of the 27 th Bengal Native Infantry, was an officer of no or- dinary experience and promise. At the time of his decease he waa in command of the Punj ib division. He was the eldest son of the late Dr Alexander Nicholson, who practised with con- siderable success as a physician at Yirgemont, county of Dublin. His mother was a sister of Sir James Weir Hogg, late Chairman of the East India Company. John Nicholson was born at Virge- mont on the 11th of December, 1822, and obtained a direct ap- pointment to India early in 1839, where he arrived in the July of the same year. At the very outset of his career in India he gained some practical experience in war. The conquest of Cabul was followed by the revolt of the Affghans. At the period of the murder of Sir William Mac- naghten and the massacre of the British troops at Jug- dulluck, Nicholson was in the fortress of Ghuznee, under Colonel Palmer, and shared with him the dangers of the siege. There is no need to recapitulate here the details of that event; it is enough to say that the British force found themselves shut up in the citadel, and, having suffered the extremities of hunger, were forced to capitulate on honourable terms. How those terms were broken and how Nicholson was forced to give up his sword is now a matter of history, as is also his imprisonment with his comrades iu Cabul and his subsequent restoration to liberty on the arrival of the gallant Sir Robert Sale and Sir G. Pollock, the real heroes who retrieved the disasters of Lord Auckland's Indian administration. We next find General Nicholson serving in the Sutlej campaign of 1845- 46. At the timeof the outbreak of that war he rendered important service to Sir Henry Hardinge by watching and reporting the move- ments of the Sikhs. He was also present at the bloody battle- fields of Moodkhee and Ferozeshah, and received a medal for his gallantry in aetion. In the second Punjab campaign we find the name of General Nicholson almost inseparable from that of Major Herbert Edwardes, the hero of Mooltan. It would be foreign to our intention here to recount all the events which led to the outburst of that war, which was so decidedly settled at Sadoolapore, Chilianwallah, and Goojerat. It is suffi- cient for our purpose to inform our readers that while the siege of Moolfcau was still proceeding Nicholson was sent to seize the fortress of Attock, which he succeeded in taking. As soon as his services could be spared he accom- panied Lord Gough in his advance, and was able to render Sir J. Thackwell material assistance in transporting his forces across tho Chenab just previous to the baitle of Ramnuggur. He had the satisfaction of seeing his name mentioned in the despatch of that gallant and distinguished officer in the following terms:—" To Captain Nicholson, as- sistant to the Resident at Lahore, I beg to offer my best thanks for his endeavours to procure intelligence of the enemy's move- ments, for his successful efforts to procure supplies for the troops, and for his able assistance on all occasions." After the battle of Ohilianwallah his friends had the additional grati- fication of seeing his services in that engagement acknowledged in Lord Gough's despatch side by side with those of the late lamented Sir Henry M. Lawrence. Nor was he less distinguished on the field of Goojerat, where Lord Gough finally routed and crushed the Sikh forces, and after which he particularly recom- mended, in his despatch addressed to the Governor- General of India, that " most energetic political officer, Captain Nichol- son," as deserving of reward and promotion. For his services in the Punjab campaign Captain Nicholson was promoted by special brevet to the rank of major in the army, and received the additional honours of a medal and a clasp. He had been engaged in civil employment in the Punjab for some few years before the outbreak of the recent mutinies, having had under his charge the Dera Ishmail Khan district since January 1852. Of his activity and energy in Ms civil capacity in the Punjab, and of his gallantry in defeating the rebel forces sent out to intercept the siege- train on its way to Delhi, we have spoken too often recently to make it necessary to add any fresh meed of praise. The previous mail, it will be remem- bered, brought home tidings that Colonel Nicholson was among those who were wounded in the storming of Delhi, and now we deeply regret to have to enumerate his name among those who have since died of their wounds. Colonel Nicholson's commissions, we should add, bear date as follows :— Ensign February the 24th, 1839; Lieutenant, January the 13th, 1842 ; Regimental Captain, with rank of Lieutenant- Colonel, March the 20th, 1848.— Brigadier- General James George Smith Neill, of the Madras Fusiliers, was the eldest son of the late Lieutenant- Colonel Smith Neill, of Barnweill and Swindridyemuir, and succeeded at the death of his father to a small landed property between Ayr and Glasgow. He was born about the year 1810, and entered the 1st European Fusiliers ( Madras) in 1826. He first saw some active service in the first Burmese war, under the Governor- Generalship of Lord Amherst, when he was for a Sisae in the Adjutant- General's department. He was, however, com- pelled to return to England on furlough at the close of the cam- paign, owiug to the inroads made upon his constitution by ex- posure while on field service. For a'short time, about the years 1835 and 1836, he held the command of the escort of the Resident at the Court of his Highness the Rajah of Nagpore, and about the same time he married Isabella, daughter of Colonel Warde. More recently he took part in the second Bur-, ffiese w » r under ^ I^ ord palkousie, On t'ae outbreak of " the war with Russia in 1854 he volunteered for active service in Turkey, and showed considerable ability while in command of the Turkish Contingent. Returning to India at the close of the war, he took the command of the 1st Madras European Fusiliers, one of the most gallant and distinguished regiments belonging to the service, though recently characte- rised by Sir Archibald Alison in his speech at Glasgow as " new to fame." On the breaking out of the recent mutiny, being sent up to Calcutta with his regiment, he relieved Benares, and pressed on with forced marches to Cawnpore, in the capture of which he assisted. Our readers will not have forgotten his de- cision in the matter of the high- caste Brahmins of that place, whom he forced to degrade themselves by washing with their own hands the blood- stained floor which was the scene of the atrocities of Nana Sahib. During the subsequent absence of General Havelock he held the command of Cawnpore, and was recently entrusted with the command of a brigade. He is repre- sented to us, by those who knew him of old, asja strict disci- plinarian, but at the same time one who never spared himself, and was always ready to share with his men every danger, diffi- culty, and privation. He attained the regimental rank of major in 1850, and became a major in the Madras army, with the rank of lieutenant- colonel, in December, 1853. MAJOR- GENERAL PENNY, THE NEW COMMANDER IN INDIA. Major- General Nicholas Penny, C. B., the csmmanding officer of the Meerut Division, who has succeeded to the command lately held by General Wilson, is an officer of great Indian antecedents, and must be nearly 66 years of age, inasmuch as we find that he entered the Indian army as ensign in 1807. He served with dis- tinction in the Nepaul and Mahratta wars, under the Marquis of Hastings, and at Bhurtpore in 1825. He also held a command in the Sutlej campaigns, in which he played a distinguished part, more especially at Aliwal and Sdbraon, where he was wounded, and for which he received a medal and clasp, and his advance- ment to the Companionship of the Bath. He also served iu the Sikh campaigns, was present at Chilianwallah and Goojerat, and was frequently mentioned in high terms of praise in the despatches of Sir Hugh Gough and Sir Harry Smith, as well as by that late distinguished officer, Sir Walter R. Gilbert, K. C. B., whom he ably supported in Ms pursuit of the Affghans and Sikhs, after the decisive battle of Chilianwallah. During the last few years Major- General Penny has held the command of troops at Lahore, Sind- Saugor, Sealkote, Cawnpore, and other important posts. TROOPS IN INDIA AND ON THE ROAD.— The whole of the Queen's forces in India up to the 29 th ult, according to official returns, amounted to 33,660. In the Bengal Presidency there were:— Cavalry ( 6th Carabineers and 9th Lancers), 1,317 ; iiafantry ( including the 3d, 82d, and 93d), 23,450 ; artillery, 67 ; and engineers ( 23d Company), 126; total, 24,960. The troops ordered to, and on passage to, the presidency consist of:— Cavalry, 2,159 ; infantry, 12,616 ; artillery, 2,711; and engineers, 252— total 17,738. In the Madras Presidency -.— Cavalry ( 12 th Lancers), 304 ; infantry ( 43d and 74th), 2,122. On passage or under orders :— Infantry ( 44th and 66th), 1,605 ; and artillery ( under orders), 300. In the Bombay Presidency there were :— Cavalry ( 12th Lancers and 14th Light Dragoons), 1,012; infantry, 5,200; and artillery, 62— total 6,274. On passage : Cavalry, 1,677 ; infantry ( including the 94th), 6,021; artillery, 712 ; and engineers ( overland), 246. It will be seen from the above that, up to the 29th ult, 28,300 was the total of the troops on passage to the East Indies; the grand total of the Queen's forces in India and en route being 61,980. The East India Company's European troops in India amount to 18,260 of all arms. The above returns include officers and men. The entire of the 69th Regiment, except one officer and fifty men, have orders to proceed to India by the overland route from Alexandria to Suez, there to embark for Madras or Bombay. The remainder of the regiment, as excepted above, embark in the course of next week, with the heavy baggage for India. Rear- Admiral Sir Henry J. Leeke has arrived from Calcutta, having made a short stay at Alexandria on his way home. The gallant officer has resigned his appointment of superintendent of the Indian navy. On Wednesday Captain Wright's company of the 9th battalion Royal Artillery embarked at Woolwich on board the screw transport Indomitable, Captain Kett, for Madras. The 68th Regiment at Portsmouth are preparing to embark in the steam- ship Australasian about the 15th inst for India. The auxiliary screw transport Indomitable, Captain Kett, sailed on Wednesday morning from Woolwich, having em- barked 5 officers and 110 gunners of the Royal Artillery, 1 officer and 3 privates of the 44th Foot, 10 men of the 60th Rifles, and 9 of the 66th Regiment. At Gravesend she received 6 officers and 186 gunners of Captain Desborough's company of the Royal Ar- tillery, 1 officer and 16 men of the 12fch Lancers, and 2 officersand 26 men of the 60th Rifles, making a total of 15 officers and 360 rank and file. She sailed direct for Madras.— At a late hour on Wednesday a despatch was received at Chatham Garrison from the War Office countermanding the order previously given for the embarkation of the reinforcements for the 20th, 23d ( Welsh Fusiliers), 35th, 53d, 61st, 84th, and 90th ( Light Infantry) Regi- ments, on the following day, owing to the George Marshall freight ship, not being ready to receive them. Previous to the embarkation of the reinforcements the vessel will be inspected by the Commandant at Chatham, in order that everything may be done for the comfort and convenience of the troops proceed- ing to India. COURT- MABTIALS.— On Wednesday morning the finding of the general court- martial which assembled at this garrison on the 19th of August last, for the trial of Lieutenant- Colonel J. Clarke, 1st West India Regiment, was ordered from the Com- mander- in- Chief. The court having been one reassembled for the purpose of revising its proceedings, the result has been now promulgated. The prisoner is acquitted of the first, third, fourth, and fifth charges, but found guilty of the second charge, viz, For insubordinate conduct at Government House, Sierra Leone, on the 6th of March, 1857, during an interview with Lieutenant- Colonel S. J. Hill, 2d West India Regiment, com- manding the troops at Sierra Leone and its dependencies, in having then and there stated ' he would not embark on board her Majesty's steamer Perseverance, nor would he obey any orders given by Lieutenant- Colonel S. J. Hill, as he questioned the right of the said Lieutenant- Colonel S. J. Hill to command the troops at Sierra Leone, he being exclusively the civil governor of the said colony of Sierra Leone,' or words to that effect." The court adjudged Colonel Clarke to be reprimanded, and he has been accordingly reprimanded by the Duke of Cambridge, who has further ordered him to proceed to the settlement of Gambia, where a small detachment of his corps is stationed. In addition to his being reprimanded the Duke of Cambridge has superseded him and nominated another officer, his junior, to fill the death vacancy of the second lieutenant- colonelcy in the regiment. Colonel Clarke has been thirty- six years in the service, and has always borne the most unblemished character, as the numerous testimonials produced at his trial fully proved; but, considering he has been most harshly treated, he has thrown up bis commis- sion and retired from the service, the army thus losing a most deserving officer.— The president of the general court- martial which recently assembled at Chatham Garrisen for the trial of enemy was driven half way to Winchester, are now over, yet; me large importation of militiamen into the camp has rendered extra drill most necessary ; advantage is therefore taken of every tolerably fine day to give the men a smart breathing across the hills and valleys. Oil Wednesday the scale of operations was rather enlarged, and tha forces of the camp were mustered for a sudden general attack upon a neighbouring military institu- tion— the Cadets' College at Sandhurst. This plan involved manoeuvres of all kinds, and required the assistance of the three branches of the service. There were several regiments of in- fantry, a strong force of artillery, with the 6th battalion of the military train, and part of the 1st battalion, in all between 7,000 and 8,000 men. After the attack marching past took place in the usual order, the cadets taking precedence of all the in- fantry. Their marching was most regular for such > very juve- nile body of soldiers, and their admirable conduct and discipline throughout the day elicited the highest commendations from General Knollys, and was, in fact, a subject of general remark and admiration among all the officers on the ground. The camp was on Thursday further strengthened by the arrival of the 3d West York Militia, aud on Friday the Royal Dumfries Militia arrived. The Royal Southdown and Limerick Militia regiments are expected in camp next week. These reinforcements will raise the strength of the force there to upwards of 11,000 men. A DAY WITH NANA SAHIB — Here, sat the raaharajsh on a Turkey carpet, and reclining slightly ou a huge bolster. In front of him were his hookah, a sword, and several nosegays. His highness rose, came forward, took my hand, led me to the carpet, and begged of me to be seated on a cane- bottomed arm- chair, which had evidently beea placed ready for my especial ease and occupation. A hookah is called for by the rajah; and then at least a dozen voices repeat the order:—" Hookah lao Sahib kewaste" ( bring a hookah for the Sahib). Presently the hookah is brought in. It is rather a grand affair, but old, and has evi- dently belonged te some European of extravagant habits. While I am pulling away at the hookah, the musahibs, or favourites of the rajah, flatter me in very audible whispers. " How well he smokes!" " What a fine forehead he has!" " Aud his eyes how they sparkle!" " No wonder he is so clever!" " He will be governor- general some day," " khuda- kurin!" ( God will have it so). Native Rajah ( in a loud voice), " Moonshee!" Moon- shee ( who is close at hand). " Maharaj, Protector of the Poor." Native Rajah. " Bring the petition that I have laid before the Governor- General." The Moonshee produces the petition, and at the instance of the Rjjah, reads, or rather sings it aloud. The Rajah listens with pleasure to its recital of his own wrongs, and I affect to be astounded that so much injustice can possibly exist. During my rambles in India, I have been the guest of some scores of rajahs, great and small; and I never knew one who had not a grievance. He had either been wronged by the Government, or by some judge, whose decision had been against him. In the matter of the Government, it was a sheer love of oppression that led to the evil of which he complained; in the matter of the judge, that functionary had been bribed by the other party. It was with great difficulty that I kept my eyes open while the petition— a very long one— was read aloud. Shortly after it was finished, I craved permission to retire, and was conducted by a bearer to the sleeping- room. The Maharajah invited me to accompany him to Cawnpore. I acquiesced, and the carriage was ordered. The carriage was English built— a very handsome landau— and the horses were English horses; but the harness! It was country made, of the very commonest kind, and worn out; for one of the traces was a piece of rope. The coachman was filthy in his dress, and the whip that he carried in his hand was an old broken buggy- whip, which some European gentleman must have thrown away. On the box, on either side of the coachman, sat a warlike retainer, armed with a sword and a dagger. In the rumble were two other retainers, armed in the same manner. Besides the rajah and myself there were three others ( natives and relatives of the Rajah) in the vehicle. On the road the Rajah talked incessantly, and amongst other things that he told me was this— in reference to the praises that I bestowed on his equipage:—" Not long ago I had a carriage and horses very superior to these. They cost me twenty- five thousand rupees ; but I had to burn the carriage and kill the horses." " Why so?" " The cMld of a certain sahib in Cawnpore was very sick, and the sahib and memsahib were bringing the child to Bhitoor for a change of air. I sent my big carriage for them. On the road the child died; and, of course, as a dead body had been in the carriage, and as the horses had drawn that dead body in that carriage, I could never use them again." The reader mu3t understand that a native of any rank considers it a disgrace to sell property. " But could you not have given the horses to some friend— a Christian or a Mussulman?" " No; had I done so, it might have come ! to the knowledge of the sahib, and his feelings would have been ! hurt at having occasioned me such a loss." Such was the | Maharajah commonly known as Nana Sahib. He appeared to ! be not* a man of ability, nor a fool. He was selfish, but what ! native is not? HJ seemed to be far from a bigot in matters of religion; and, although he was compelled to be so very par- ! ticular about the destruction of his carriage and horses, I am j quite satisfied that he drauk brandy, and that fee smoked hemp in the chUlum of his hookah.— Household, Words. I TSI LIRPJAW MUTINY RELIEF FUND.— Notwithstanding J& 6 liberal spirit with which the public have already assisted our distressed countrymen in India, its sympathy for them conti- nues to flow in daily. The uuiversal abhorrence of the unna- tural atrocities committed by the mutineers upon unoffending, helpless women and children, is manifested from the fact, that high and low have alike eagerly testified their commiseration tiy liberal contributions, as may be seen from the following among many others already noticed:— His Majesty the King of Sardi- nia, 10,000f, and a local subscription in Turin of nearly £ 100 ; his Majesty the King of Greece, £ 400 ; his Highness the Maha- rajah Dhuleep Singh, per the Rev H. Yenn," £ 250; a further re- mittance of £ 500 from Constantinople, including a donation of 500f from his Excellency the French Ambassador, making the amount already raised teere £ 1,161 7s 6d ; the residents at Leghorn, £ 134 6s 4d; at Geneva, £ 360 ; the military and inha- bitants of Gibraltar, £ 70416s 6$ d ; the Chancellor, masters, and scholars of the University of Oxford, £ 500 ; a third instalment of £ 200 from the town and University of Cambridge ; the Dra- pers' Company, £ 210 ; the Grocers' Company, £ 200 ; the Sun Fire and Life Office, £ 200; the Royal Mail Steampacket Com- pany, £ 105 ; the tenantry of the Earl of Seafield on the estate of Strathshey, £ 220 ; Chatham Garrison, £ 22913s ; the officers and men of the 15th Hussars stationed at Ipswich and Norwich, £ 65 10s 7d; a fifth instalment from Jersey ; Guernsey, £ 1,03014s 6d; Douglas, Isle of Man, a first instalment of £ 150 ; Bristol, £ 800 ; Chesterfield, £ 218 5s 8d ; Chichester, £ 500 ; a second instalment of; £ 17615s 3d from Colchester; Devizes, a second remittance of £ 170, from a total local subscription of £ 598 17s 8d ; Derby, £ 2,000, including £ 100 from the Earl of Harrington ; Dover, £ 409 7s 3d ; Great Marlow, £ 154 18s 9d ; Gosport, £ 107 12s Id ; a further remittance of £ 108 2s 3d from Ipswich and vicinity ; Kensington, £ 12616s od ; Macclesfield, £ 219 2s 8d; Newark, £ 410 0 7£ d ; Newcastle- upon- Tyne, a se- cond remittance of £ 1,009; Northampton, £ 400 ; Oxford and neighbourhood, East- day collections, £ 398 8s 2d; Penzance, £ 400 s Reading, £ 1,200 ; Sherborne, Dorset, £ 206 7s 2d; Shrewsbury, £ 1,021 16s 2d ; Steke- upon- Trent, £ 263 16s 2d; j Taunton, £ 750; Ventnor, Isle of Wight, £ 98 16s Id; Walsall, £ 400; £ 21 from Baron Watson, and £ 20 from Mr Justice Willes, have also been received. MiMM AMERICAN CAPTAINS AND BRITISH SEAMEN.— Another case has occurred at Sunderland of a murderous attack upon British seamen by American captains and their chief officers, and as they sailed away ere they could be overtaken by British justice, the facts have been sent to Lord Clarendon for submission to the American Minister. The following is a copy of the deposi- tions made by the men and forwarded to Lord Clarendon :— " George Telford, of 13, Maling's- rig, Sunderland, North Sea pilot. On Friday, at eleven a. m., I was engaged by Charles Brookman, the master of the John U. Brookmau bark, of the port of New York, and then lying in the roads, laden with a cargo of coals for New York, to pilot the vessel to the Downs or the Orkney Islands. About three p. m. I went on board the ves- sel in company with the master. We took a coble and two coblemen. There were also tkree British seamen, who had, I believe, agreed to join the vessel, as the crew was short of hands. Captain Brookman told me he was two hands short, even with the three men. The vessel is about 500 tons. There was also a Jew on board, who had got the three seamen. When we got alongside, the Jew and the three seamen, the captain, and my- self, all got on board, leaving the two coblemen in the coble. I put my things into the cabin. The Jew came into the cabin and received, as I thought, £ 910s, his charge for getting the men. The Jew went into the coble. One of the three men said that the ship was short- handed, and they did not wish to proceed. This was said to the captain. The" captain, without saying a word, knocked the man who had spoken down. He used ins fist. He said to the man,' your eyes, go to your work.' The captain then seized a small axe, when I got hold of the axe and got myself cut slightly. I got it out of Ms hand. He then seized a hammer ^ and felled another of the three men down. I went aft and called the coble to the side, as I was determined not to go in the ship. When I looked round I saw one of the three men in the water. I called the ooblemen to take him in; they did so. The captain said to me that he would not allow the coble to come alongside to take me in. I called them to come under the stern ; they did so. I then slid down a rope and got into the coble. When I last saw the deck of the vessel the other two seamen were lying on the deck wounded and bleeding. I was afraid of my life, and would not go in the ship. The captain was assisted by his three mates in the ill- usage to the two sailors. Two of the mates had each a belaying pin in their hands. I don't know the names of the two seamen; I never saw any of the three before I saw them in the boat.— Peter Mitchell: I am 19 years of age. I came up from Aberdeen to this port on the 29th inst. I was on Friday forenoon shipped by a Jew for the John Brookman, at £ 3 a month wages. I got 30s in advance. Another seaman, named Alexander Irving, was shipped at the same time. I did not see the third man shipped. The captain was in the Jew's shop at the time I was shipped. I went on board, as the pilot has already stated. Before we started from the deck the captain told us he would get two other hands in addition to us three. When we got on board Irving went into the cabin, and I at first followed, and then went forward to the house on deck. In a short time I came out, and then I saw the captain knock Irving down. I saw the captaia with a weapon in his hand, and I saw him strike Irving with it. Irving fell; I saw him bleeding from the back of the head. He got up. I went to the other side of the vessel, and there I saw the mates striking the third man whose name I did not know. Saw the mates knock that man down, aud saw one of the mates strike Mm when down on the face with a ballast shovel. I went round to the other side, and the captain came up to me and was about to strike ipe with a belaying pin. I then jumped overboard. I am no swimmer, but I was afraid of my life being taken if I remained on board. I was picked up by the men in the coble. I left all my clothes on board, and the ship sailed with them." A CAPTAIN KILLED IN HIS SHIP WHILE DRUNK.— An in- quest was held on Thursday before the Liverpool Borough coro- ner on the body of George Blacklock, the captain of the brigan- tine Virginian, lying in the Canning Dock, Liverpool, whose body was found in the forecastle of Ms ship. The captain, it appeared, had got up early on Wednesday morning, and gone to the cathead wMle in a state of intoxication, and while re- turning to the cabin Ms feet got entangled in some ropes, and he was thrown down. He next came in contact with tht fluke of the anchor, and he died almost immediately. A verdict that the deceased had died from syncope was returned by the jury. SEEIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SURGEON.— A surgeon named Andrew HallidayCarmichael, recently practising at Mexborough, near Doncaster, has undergone several examinations before the West Riding magistrates at the latter town on the charge of procuring abortion on the person of a young woman who has been in his service as housekeeper. The prosecutrix appeared before the bench for the first time on Saturday week, but was in a very debilitated condition and unable to stand. The pro- ceedings were conducted strictly in private, on the ground that the publication of the proceedings might tend to defeat the ends of justice; but after an examination of upwards of in the person of Signor Carrione, who undertook tha part of Columella, and assumed the traditional costume of Pulcineila, which, but for the half- mask and felt " fool's cap," would be almost identical with that of the ancient French Pierot. We have not space for the plot of the opera. The music ( or rather a large part of it) is by a son of the once renowned but now for- gotten Fioravanti, whose " Cantatrice Villane" and " Virtuosi Ambulanti" sustained the fortunes of the Italian opera in Paris about half a century since, and who wrote about thirty operas besides— to say nothing of the motets and masses for the Church, very much in the style of his dramatic works. Fioravanti be- longed to the school of Cimarosa, of whom ( though inferior in every respect) he was one of the mo. it successful imitators. He chiefly excelled in comic opera, and there was a certain easy flow about his music that atoned for the absence of originality and accounted for its popularity. The performance, on the whole, was very spirited, although the performers are not all unex- ceptionable. The first lady, Mademoiselle Fumagalli, who impersonates Elisa, has feeling and dramatic instinct; but her voice is sadly worn, and her intonation not invariably exact. The tenor, Signor Dordoui ( Alberto), would, we thiak, be re- garded as incompetent even in an Italian theatre— which is saying a great deal now- a- days. Signor Carrione has been de- scribed ; but, as a comic singer, Signor Castelli ( Stefanello) is entitled to higher praise than what may attach to mere vocal buffoonery. A trio in the third act— in wMch this gentleman took part with Signor Carrione and Signor Galli ( who played the part of Dr Bisticcio, superintendent of the madhouse, re- markably well)— was the greatest " hit" of the entire opera. Nothing could possibly be sung and acted with greater spirit. A boisterous encore was the result. From the rest of the dra- matis persona) we must single out Signor Colombo, a barytone, who sang the music and represented the character of the deceived lover, Aurelio, with the utmost sentiment and feeling. HAYMARKET THEATRE.— Mr Tom Taylor's new comedy, en- titled, " An Unequal Match," was produced at this theatre on Saturday evening, Nov 7th. We have not space to enter into details of the plot, and must content ourselves with saying that, as on all former occasions, Mr Taylor has adhered to the com- mendable practice of making character and incident subservient to the working out of a sound aud salutary moral. The play has literary merits of no common order. A vein of subtle satire pervades it from first to last. There are gems of wit and flowers of sentiment in the dialogue, aud the interest of the story is skilfully sustained to the close. The fortunes of the heroine occasionally call to mind the good old English comedy of " The Country Girl;" but many of the scenes and characters are dis- tieguished by freshness and originality of conception, and the author sometimes very felicitously sets a common circumstance or emotion in a light through which it appears at once familiar and new. It is impossible that any play could have received greater justice at the hands of the actors. Miss A. Sedgwick is certainly a great acquisition to the London stage. Her arch- ness, brilliancy of manner, and natural elegance are delightful to contemplate. There is a hearty gaiety in her tones, and a singular freshness in all she says and does. The play was re- ceived with unbounded applause, and at the termination of each act Mr Buckstone and Miss Sedgwick were summoned before the curtain. There were also loud cries for the author, but Mr Buckstone stated that he was on the Continent. LYCEUM THEATRE.— Mr Balfe's highly successful opera, " The Rose of Castille" is now followed by a little duodrame, called " A Pair of Pigeons." A gentleman is somewhat jealous of Ms wife's cousin, and Ms wife, to cure him of this unpleasant malady of the mind, puts on male attire, and, assuming to be the cousin herself, bullies him after the approved fashion of a stage exquisite. When his misery is at its height he is restored to bliss by the revelation of tha fact that his wife and his rival are the same person. The idea of this piece is ancient enough to merit the attention of the Archseological Society, but the gro- tesque jealousy of Mr G. Honey and the exceeding smartness of Miss Cuthbert keep the house in a roar; and, assuredly, if an audience who have had three hours a? id a half of opera can get a laugh at the end by way of make- weight, they need not grumble. The author of the successful trifle is Mr Edward Stirling. M JULLIEN'S CONCERTS.— The house on Thursday night was crowded to overflow, the attraction being one of those " morceaux de circonstanee" ( as M Jullien designates them) to which the public has been annually accustomed at these popular enter- tainments. The title of the present composition is " The Indian Fantasia and General Havelock's Triumphal March, and, as may be guessed, its predominant tone is martial. To meet this exigency M Jullien's own magnificent band was fortified by an army of drummers and fifers from the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Guards— together with bagpipes, " tom- toms," and other instruments calculated to heighten the " local" colouring, and an efficient chorus. The number of vocal and instrumental performers was thus increased to such an extent that the orchestra was obliged to be considerably en- larged to hold them; and even as it was a great many of the executants could scarcely find elbow room. The whole presented a most imposing appearance, and when M Jullien waved his conductor's stick to begin a dead silence gave evidence of the general interest created, and of the expectation that something unusually stirring and impressive was about to be heard. The result surpassed anticipation. Not only was the piece applauded unanimously at every occurrence of a pause in the performance, but the climax gave rise to an ex- citement beyond bounds, Independent of the music, however, there were reasons for the demonstration that ensued, which would have caused enthusiasm under any circumstances. The execution throughout was strikingly good, and the conclu- sion hailed with uproarious applause and unanimous cries for a repetition of the national airs. Instead of accediog at once, however— in accordance with his usual custom— to this patriotic demand, M Jullien, as soon as he could extort attention, ad- dressed the audience something to this effect:—" Ladies and Gentlemen: As we are honoured this evening by the presence of Lady Havelock, the wife of the distinguished General— that British lion who has so nobly hunted down the Bengal tiger— I am sure you will all be as delighted as I am to know that she is among us." Then, pointing to a box on the first tier, he said, " There is Lady Havelock 1" This announcement was received with such tremendous cheering that Lady Havelock, who had been quietly listening to the music, in little expectation of such an incident, rose from her seat, aud, coming forward to the front of the box with her two daughters, gracefully saluted the audience, The acclamations that followed were again inter- rupted by M Jullien, who spoke in a loud voice, and evidently as excited as if he had been an Englishman born. " Now ladies and gentlemen," he said, " you shall join with me in three British cheers. I will give the word, and you shall all respond, ensemble!" He did give the word, and his " Hip, hip, hip, hurrah," thrice reiterated, was thrice echoed by such a " hurrah" from the united voices of the whole assembly as made the walls reverberate again. Rarely has a scene of greater en- thusiasm been witnessed. Lady Havelock remained until the end of the performance, and the great majority of the crowd kept her company. When the last piece— a galop called the " Lion and Tiger "— was finished, the audience dispersed slowly, and the scene of " ovation" was changed from the theatre to the open street. A dense crowd almost blocked up the thorough- fare, and as Lady Havelock was recognised entering her carriage the cheering was renewed with the same vociferous heartiness as was at first elicited by M Jullien's address. THE NEW CONJUROE.— The conjuring of modern times was never so closely assimilated to the magic we read of in the le- gends of Faustus, and such- like specimens of wonderful litera- ture, as by a new professor rejoicing in the outlandish name of Wiljalba Frikell, who, having performed before nearly all the highnesses mentioned in the Ootha Almanac, deigned on Thurs- day night, for the first time, to entertain the general British public in the Hanover- square Rooms. Sensible of the honour thus conferred upon it, the public mustered extremely strong, and was, moreover, a very fashionable and brilliant public. Let us add, that it was most graciously received. The peculiarity, of Professor Wiljalba Frikell is, that he does not use a& y appara- tus at all. His rising curtain, instead of displaying shelves piled with the magnificent gimcracks of nineteenth- century magic, reveals nothing but a table and a couple of chairs. A hat bor- rowed from a visitor will yield 120 silver goblets at his command, will become whole after utter demolition, without any other envelope than a sheet of the coarsest brown paper, and, thus restored, will deliberately float up to the ceiling, and there re- main fixed till it is summoned down by the voice of the Professor. From a handkerchief obtained under similar circumstances, plumes of ostrich feathers will arise sufficient to stuff the Bed of Ware. An egg and a lemon are both exhibited, without any mysterious adjuncts, and in a trice the egg is gone, to re- appear when the peel is removed from the fruit as its embedded core. In a word, Professor Frikell's tricks are none of them mechanical, but are all performed by legedermain in the strict sense of the term. A good deal of oonjuring has been seen in this metropo- lis ; but such a combination of astounding results, with means apparently simple, is altogether new to the London public. SIGNOR LABLACHE.— There is no truth in the report circu- lated by some of our contemporaries that Signor Lablache has had an attack of apoplexy. The great artiste is now residing on his estate near Naples, and is in much better health than he has enjoyed for some time past. PELL'S AMERICAN OPEBA TEOUP IN BIRMINGHAM.— Pell, who was at the St James's Theatre some 16 years back, made his appearance at the Gallery of Illustration on Monday, with Ms troupe ( nine in number) illustrating negro life by song, dances, and anecdotes. The house has been completely crammed to the ceiling each evening. A new circus is being built in Moor- street, Birmingham, capable of holding 1,200 persons. It is a brick structure, and is to be finished and opened by Christmas. Messrs Cushin and Housman, of the American Troupe, are the lessees. extracts as we have deemed most enticing. The tenth volume comes as a sort of climax to all that preceded it, and appears to contain in its 433 pages as much of the pathetic, the broadly comic, the farcical, the poetical, the descriptive, and the senti- mental, as may bs met with in a dozen modern fashionable novels. Something of each of these attributes will be found in the Professor's interesting chapters headed " Christopher in his Aviary," every word of which should be read attentively by all true lovers of nature. To those who would eajoy a hearty laugh with Old Kit, we say, read his articles on Dr Kitchener, whose guide to health was so well known at one time. His descriptive powers were never more strongly developed than in his " Stroll to Grassmere" and his " Remarks on the Scenery of the Highlands." ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.— On Thursday afternoon Mr J. H. Pepper, the spirited proprietor of this institution, de- livered, for the first time, a most intelligent and interesting lecture entitled " A Scuttle of Coals from the Pit to the Fire- side," which is likely to prove a great attraction for some time to come. Mr Pepper, in a style at once forcible, clear, and dis- tinct, showed that coal was known long before the pyramids of Egypt were built; and then depicted the different causes that operated against the success of the miner. He glanced at the state of affairs fifteen years ago, when women were compelled to perform the rude work now allotted to men, and favourably contrasted the existing system with that of former times. The " gin" and windlass had, he said, given place to improved ma- chinery, and thus the danger of the miner had been considerably lessened. Mr Pepper then, in a grapMc manner, narrated the circumstances attending his descent into the Keeppieer Mine, Durham, which had been in work since the reign of Queen Eliza- beth, and to show how detrimental mining work was to the human frame, he stated that for every 43 feet of descent into the earth the heat increased one degree, so that the atmosphere at the bottom of the mine throughout the year averaged from 80 to 84 degrees. Having extolled Lord Shaftesbury for obtaining a law improving the working of coal mines, Mr Pepper introduced a safety lamp invented by Simon and Co, of Dale End, Bir- mingham, wMch was considered by many scientific men present to be worthy of the greatest consideration. In the first place it prevented the flames from being exposed in the mine: and, secondly, there was an indicator which unmistakeably showed whether any of the miners attempted to open it. Mr Pepper then referred to the causes of accidents in coal mines, and illus- trated the case of the explosion at the Lundhill mine, where over 180 persons were sacrificed. At the same time he stated, with a view to show the courage of ooal- miners, that at the pre- sent time over 200 persons were employed in the mine where the catastrophe took place. The greatest possible precautions, however, have been adopted to prevent another accident. In conclusion Mr Pepper gave some interesting statistics as to the coal- producing capabilities of various countries. He said that America possessed 133,132 square miles of coal- producing country; Great Britain and Ireland ( anthracite), 3,720; Great Britain and Ireland, bituminous, 8,139; British America, 18,000; Belgium, 516; France, 1,716; and Spain, 3,408. The coal raised during 1856 in Great Britain and Ireland amounted to the extra- ordinary aggregate of 66,645,450 tons. In order to reader his lecture nerfectlv intelligible. Mr Penner had nrenared a great THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. The great metropolitan cattle show of the Smithfield Club for 1857 is fixed to take place at the Baker- street Bazaar, on Tues- day, the 8th, Wednesday, the 9th, Thursday, the 10th, and Fri- day, the 11th of December. The last day for the reception of certificates of entry to be reoeived by Mr B. T. Brandreth Gibbs, the bon secretary, was on Monday week, 2d of November, and when it is announced that the club have, in addition to the usual award of six gold medals and a silver medal to the breeder of the best specimen in every class, increased their money prizes this year from the usual average of about £ 650 to £ 1,051, there can be but little doubt that the competition will be more than usually severe. The number of classes into which the show is to be divided this year has been increased from thirty- three to forty- two, separate classes having been assigned, pursuant to resolutions passed at the last annual general meeting of tha Smithfield Club, to the Sussex breed of cattle, Norfolk or Suffolk polled breed, Scotch polled breed, Irish breed, and Welsh breed. The monetary prizes to be awarded at the ensuing show in the respective classes is as follows:— Devons, four classes, £ 135; Herefords, four classes, £ 135 ; short- horned breed, four classes, £ 135; Sussex breed, two classes, £ 45 ; Norfolk or Suffolk polled breed, two classes, £ 30; long- horned breed, two classes, £ 30; Scotch horned breed, two classes, £ 45; Irish breed, two classes, £ 30; Welsh breed, two classes, £ 35; cross or mixed breed, three classes, £ 55. In the sheep classes, the long- woolled, with three classes, have money prizes awarded to the amount of £ 111; short- woolled, four classes, £ 115; cross breeds, two classes, £ 45. The pigs are divided into four classes, with an award of money prizes of £ 60; thus making the gross amount of money prizes in the cattle classes £ 720, in the slieep classes £ 271, and for the pig classes £ 60; or, on the whole, £ 1,051. The programme o? the arrangements of the club for the ensuing show is, that the private view shall take place on Monday evening, December 7th, aud open to the public on Tuesday, the 8fch, and three following days. The first general meeting to take place at the Bazaar, on Tuesday, the 8th, at one o'clock; the anniversary dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Wednesday, the 9th, at six o'clock; and the adjourned annual general meeting of the club on Thursday, the 10th, at one o'clock. In the regulations it is made imperative that the ages of all animals intended for the show shall be calcu- lated and certified up to 1st December. Such certificate nmst must mention every previous exhibition of the animal at the club show or elsewhere, and no beast, sheep, or pig, having been once exhibited for a prize of the Smithfield Club will be admitted into the show- yard. All animals intended for show must be at the Bazaar before 10 o'clock on the evening of Saturday, the 5th of December, when the gates will be closed, and none admitted after that hour.

MONETARY PANIC.— SUSPENSION OE THB WESTERN BANK OE SCOTLAND, & c.— On Monday the Western Bank of Scot- land, the head office of which is in Glasgow, suspended payment, being the first instance in which a joint- stock bank in Scotland has met with such a calamity. From the assistance which the Western received about ten days ago from the other Scottish banks, it was hoped that it might be enabled to tide over the difficulty, but still consider- able doubt was entertained in well- informed quarters. The bank opened on Monday morning, as usual, and, although the day was a very gloomy one in commercial circles, from the sus- pension of the Messrs Dennistoun and other causes, the bank continued to transact business as usual up to two o'clock, when the doors were suddenly closed, and an intimation was put up that the establishment had been compelled to suspend payment. It was accompanied by an intimation that everything would be paid eventually in full. The announcement oaused a feeling of dismay over the whole city, and a similar result was experienced over the whole of Scotland, for the Western had branches in every part of the kingdom, amounting in all to about one hun- dred. It now well known that this lamentable result has oeea causefi hj ina moss wrecking wisaiahagement, which left the bank utterly unable to struggle against the present crisis, Mr John Taylor was appointed to the management in October, 1852, and it has now been ascertained that this gentleman has advanced the funds of the bank in the most reckless manner to concerns which were totally unworthy of enlarged credit. Four of these concerns have become bankrupt within the last month, and the losses by these houses alone are estimated at not less than £ 600,000. At the same time the directors have exhibited very great negligence in overlooking the transactions of their manager. Mr Taylor was dismissed from his office about four weeks ago, but it was too late to repair the mischief, for an un- der current of distrust had set in, by which the deposits were in the course of being withdrawn to a vast amount. Looking to this augmenting drain, and the great mass of American bills be- coming due in London, the other banks found it was hopeless to attempt to sustain the Western, and hence the catastrophe. The bank had a paid- up capital of £ 1,500,000, and, previous to the setting in of the withdrawal of the deposits, it was understood to hold deposits to the amount of about £ 5,000,000 sterling. Its banking powers were thus set down as more than seven millions sterling. It is consolatory that not a farthing will be lost by any but the shareholders, who amount altogether to 1,200 per- sons. Among them, however, there are a large number of widows and orphans, whose whole means had been invested in the bank shares, which of late years have paid a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. There are also in the proprietary many of the most wealthy men in the kingdom, of whom may be mentioned four of the brothers Baird, of Gartsherrie, who are well known to be able to pay the whole of the losses of the bank out of their own means, if this were necessary. By a little patience, there- fore, every person is certain to be paid in full. The City of' Glasgow Bank has also closed its doors, and among other exten- sive failures during the past week we may mention Messrs Sandiman and Co., the great discounters, whose liabilities are said to reach three millions of money. For an account of the general panic we must refer to our City article. FAMILY MEDICINES.— NO careful nurse or prudent mother should be without Dr De Jongh's Light Brown Cod Liver Oil, which is the simplest, safest, and even the most pleasant remedy that can be administered in all cases of weakness and want of energy in the nutritive and digestive functions. The eminent surgeon, Mr Thomas Hunt, in a communication to the Medical Times and Gazette observes:—" In badly nourished infants, Dr De Jongh's Oil is invaluable. The rapidity with which two or three drachms per diem will fatten a young child is astonishing. Children generally like the taste of oil, and when it is given them often cry for more." 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 can be genuine, by Ausar, Harford, and Co., sole British censignees, 77„ Strand, London; and in the provinces by most respectable chemists. THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF GOVERNMENT ASMS AT BIR- MINGHAM.— The mystery in connection with this robbery has at length been partially revealed by the arrest of three persons, named Thomas Williams, who was employed as locksetter and examiner of the works, and William and George Brereton, gun finishers. These men were all before the magistrates on Monday, but the case of Williams only was gone into. It appeared that Mr Clarke, an extensive gunmaker in London, ascertained that military arms were being sold in Birmingham for less than the coat price. This he communicated to the chairman of the Lon- don Armoury Company. Acting upon the advice of this gentle- man, Mr Clarke proceeded to Birmingham, and, with the assist- ance of the metropolitan and local police, Williams was dis- covered. Mr Clarke had an interview with Williams, who offered to sell him guns, naming the price, about one- balf the ordinary rate. A long correspondence in writing took place, resulting in Mr Clarke's purchasing 20 guns, which he paid for. The prisoner sent them to London; but they were delivered instead to Mr Goodman. Oh being examined it was found they bore the Tower mark, and it was shown that they were not condemned guns. The prisoner was committed to tho assizes, and bail refused; the other two prisoners were remanded. A COCK FIGHT IN PANAMA,— The day of our visit to Chepo happened to be on a Sunday— a fact of which we were constantly reminded by the inoessant crowing of game- cocks, which were tethered in the streets and little grass- grown plaza in front of the church, wMch was to be the scene of their contests. Towards the afternoon, priests in canonical garments, and sporting young gentlemen ia white trowsers and shirts, collected there to back their favourites and witness the sport. The excitement seemed to have communicated itself to the birds, and they flapped their wings defiantly as their owners caressed and admired them. The cockpit was a primitive arrangement: a number of logs of wood ranged round a cleared space of about fifty feet square. I was introduced to one of the most fashionable and celebrated of the sporting characters in Chepo, a handsome young gentleman of colour, in spotless wMte, but without shoes and stockings or coat, who informed me - that his cock was to be engaged in the first match; and he secured me a goodplace in the ring, which was soon crowded with anxious faces. Then two men advanced into the centre of the ring, with the cocks, and after re- sharpen- ing the points of their long spurs, and whetting them with lemon- juice, they set them two or three times at one another to fet their blood up, then let them go, and the fight fairly began. never saw anything equal to the excitement of the spectators during the contest, which was as bloody and disgusting as such exhibitions must ever be. Unable to retain their seats, they danced about, swearing and cheering with frantic gesticulations. Every time one of the unfortunate birds tried to escape from his opponent, he was seized by the backer, who, having previously filled his mouth with sugar- cane juice, plunged the head of the cock, streaming with blood, into it, and so succeeded in washing his wounds and refreshing Mm for a renewal of the conflict. Then disputes arose as to which was winning; and the betting became fast and furious, and the wretched cocks more acharne as they almost cut each other's heads off. Twice they were both so exhausted as to be unable to raise themselves to their legs; but their merciless backers pressed them unrelentingly to the con- test, until at last the one which, to my inexperienced eyes, had promised to be the victor, was stretched gasping and bleeding on the ground, and his opponent, getting on his prostrate body, managed to effect a feeble crow, and then tumbled head- over- heels in an effort to give his wings a triumphant flap. He was the property of my friend, who had worked himself up to a pitch of frenzied delight, and who now bore off, amid the cheers of those who had won money by him, the mangled conqueror. This young man dined with us the same evening, and was still so overcome with the effects of Ms excitement that he oould touch nothing, as he naively remarked that he never oould eat anything the d » y a cock of his was to fight .— Blackwood's Magazine. ANCHORS BOB THE LEVIATHAN.— The experiments in order to test the anchors selected by Mr Brunei, for the Leviathan steam- ship, have been carried on for several days, at the hydraulic proof- house, Woolwich Dockyard, in the presence of Captain Harrison, the commander of the vessel; Mr Atherton, chief en- gineer of the factory department; and Mr Trotman, the patentee of the anchors now used for the Royal Navy. The result has proved that the anchors selected were capable of sustaining a out me savage assauani at lasc succeeded in ripping up his belly, aud then the poor animal was at the tiger's mercy. The lion was dead in a few minutes. The scene was a fearful one. The inmates of every den seemed to be excited by the conflict, and their roaring and howling might have been heard a quarter of a mile distant. Of course Mr Edmonds and his men could not interfere while the conflict lasted, but when the tiger's fury had partly subsided they managed to remove the carcase. He must have used his paws as a sort of battering ram agaiust the parti- tion, as it was pu3hed in, rather than tern down. He cost Mr Edmonds £ 400.— Birmingham Journal. TRIAL OE THE DIRECTORS OE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. — On Wednesday an application was made at chambers before Mr Justioe Crompton by counsel, on behalf of several of the de- fendants in this case, for particulars of the charges to be pre- ferred on the several couutsof the indictment, which consists of general as well as of specific counts. Mr D. D. Keane, Mr Cole- ridge, and Mr Aspland appeared as counsel for the defendants, and the Crown was represented by Mr Joseph Brown. The ap* plication was opposed on the ground that though the special counts contained overt acts, yet the charges in the special eounts were precisely similar to those in the general count", and the application was therefore an application for the disclosure of evidence. Counsel for the Crown, however, stated that he had put into the indictment all the oyert acts which he knew of, such being tha instructions of the Attorney- General, and that if he should become acquainted with any further overt acts before the trial he would apply to amend the indictment by inserting them, but he would give no undertaking to do so, or to confine his evidence to the overt acts mentioned. To this it VVES replied that the enumeration of the overt acts in the indictment was an embarrassment instead of a benefit to the defendants unless they were assured that none other would be sprung upon them at the trial. The learned judge was of opinion that so important a case as this ought to be taken to the full court, but Ms impression was against granting the order, inasmuch' as tha counts, ia his opinion, did not contain specific charges, but only varied in this, that some stated overt acts as well as specific acts, while others contained specific charges onlv. It was then pointed out to his lordship that the last count iii each information was too general, as it did not contain any specific charge, and he made an order for particulars as to that count alone. Three informations have been filed against the defend- ants, because some of the persons named in the different infor- mations are not liable with respect to the whole of the time for. which the others are. These informations, which have been filed at the instance of the Attorney- General, are laid against Humphrey Brown, Edward Esdaile, Henry Dunning M'Leod, Loraine de Wolfe Cochrane, Richard Hartley Kennedy, William Owen, John Stapleton, Hugh limes Cameron, Lockhart Mure Valiant, and Frederick Valiant. The first count, which, in fact, charges the material offence, is that the defendants fraudulently conspired to represent that the affairs of the British Bank were in a prosperous condition during the whole of the year 1855 and the half of the year 1856, and for that purpose, in order to carry out the conspiracy, to publish a statement of the affairs of the bask, to declare a dividend, when, in fact, no dividend had been earned, to issue five hundred new shares when they well knew that the bank was approaching insolvency, and to publish false abstracts of the annual balance- sheets. It further charges that they did iu fast publish such false statements, that they had paid dividends, as if they had been earned by the operations of the bank, which had never in fact been earned ; that to keep up the credit of the bank they purchased shares in the market, and paid for them out of the moneys of the bank ; that they issued circulars, falsely stating that the bank was prosperous, and published advertisements inviting persons to become shareholders with the like object, and had also published a notice that they were about to issue a large number of new shares at a £ 5 premium. With the ex- ception of the last count, each information which is a general count to cheat the statements. in the several counts are varied with respect to shareholders, customers to the bank, and liege subjects generally, the object charged being to defraud by in- ducing such persons to buy new shares or to deposit money in the bank. No day for the trial has yet been fixed, nor is it even yet known whether it will be a trial at bar or not. It has been definitely arranged that neither the Attorney- General nor the Solicitor- General will take any part in the trial, and that Sir Frederic Thesiger will lead the prosecution on behalf of the Crown. We understand that upwards of 50 couusel have been retained for the prosecution and defence ; and, from the volu- minous nature of the evidence to be adduced, the trial will pro- bably last three weeks. HORSEWOMEN OF THE PRESENT DAY.— Some years ago riding was by no means general amongst the fair sex; then ladies oa horseback were the exception, and not as now, the rule, but " grace a notre cliarmante Reine," " Whose high zeal for healthy duties Set on horseback half our beauties," there is now scarcely a young lady of rank, fashion, or respecta- bility, but includes riding in her list of accomplishments— and who, whether attaining her end or not, is not ambitious of being considered by her friends and relatives " a splendid horse- woman." Yet how few can really claim this envied appellation. Habit may do much, and, coupled with science, a great deal • more; but gooii fidifig, very ? e# exceptions, IS BtUSis a habit nor an instinct. Dancing we all know to bean instinctive motion a natural expression of joy; but mark the dancing of the rustic milkmaid, and that of the educated and accomplished lady; the one is an untutored, clumsy bound, the other the very poetry of motion; and the latter should riding be. As Pope savs; True knowledge comes by study, not by chance, . As those move easiest who have learned to dance." To be used to a horse, to put on a habit, vault in a saddle, and gallop along a public ride, are the equestrian accomplishments of many who not unfrequently imagine that, to become, and be esteemed good horsewomen, it is necessary alone to assume the masculine in manner and expression. But, to sit a horse pqually well through all his paces— firmly, yet gently, to control his im- patient curvettings; fearlessly, yet elegantly, to manage him at speed, with a hand firm, yet light; steadily, yet gracefully, to keep the seat; preserving the balance with ease and seeming carelessness; to have the animal entirely at command, and, as if both were imbued with one common intelligence, the rider vieing in temper with her steed in spirit: to unite courage with gentle- ness, and to employ energy at no cost of delicacy— these are the essential attributes of the lady- like and accomplished horse- woman. A series of charming French engravings, " LesAsna- zones, some time since published, has shown how well adapted is equestrian exercise to thb di « pky of the beautiful and graceful outlines of the female form; yet, if elegance r.^ n be thus so well portrayed, so, also, in no case is clumsiness or awl-^ ftrdness so thoroughly visible or open to comment. The horsewoman is like a statue placed upon a high pedestal, where the faults are as easily discernible as the beauties.— Mrs J. Stirling Clarke's Habit and the Horse. THE NEW BRIDGE AT CHELSEA.— The new Chelsea Bridge, when finished next spring, will be, beyond all doubt, the hand- somest structure of its kind in the metropolis. It is not only spacious and ample in its accommodation for traffic, but in de- sign the most elegant, in general effect the most light and orna- memal of all tne bridges, whether suspended or otherwise, yet erected across the Thames. More than enough has been erected to enable the visitor to judge of the general tone of the design ; but the lightest and most decorative portions will be the last affixed, and the beautiful lanterns and minarets which will sur- mount both towers, and add so much to the general effect, are stnl to be erected. The design of the whole is very novel. Two towers of cast- iron columnar framing support the chains and arches, or rather openings. These towers are cased in elaborate ornamental castings of open lattice work, like the casements of Eastern houses, and surmounted with pointed minarets and lanterns, which give to the whole an inexpressibly light and graceful effect. The bridge stretches from the Middlesex side from the centre of that debateable land where Chelsea ends and Pimhco begins, to Battersea oa the Surrey side, where it over- looks the new park on the right, and the ground where the Crystal Palace Company are making believe to build a " West End' station on the left. The whole cost up to the present time has only amounted to £ 80,000, or £ 2 2s 5d the square foot of surface. This, as compared with our other bridges, is quite a marvel of cheapness. For instance, the cost of London Bridge was £ 542,150.; Southwark, £ 384,000 ; Blackfriars, £ 157,000 : Waterloo, £ 579,915 ; Hungerford, £ 98.760; Westminster, £ 389,500; and Vauxhall, £ 300,000. A SECRET WORTH KNOWING.— I tried rather a curious ex- periment with a few potatoes this season. Twelve months since I saw a letter from a farmer, stating the great success that had attended an experiment the writer had made in the previous season. It consisted in inserting a pea in each potato set, and planting the potato set iu the usual way. The result, he stated, was a large yield of peas, and a splendid crop of potatoes, but the most important result was the entire freedom of the pota- toes so treated from any disease, while all those planted in the usual way in the same field were extensively deteriorated. I was led by this statement to try the experiment on a small scale in my own garden this season. I planted not quite half a peck, only fifty sets, iu six ranks, cutting a piece out of each, and put- ting a pea firmly in. The peas grew up, and flourished well, and last week I dug the potatoes. They were perfectly free from all taint or speck of disease, and very fine and large, while in the same bed close to them was another lot planted in the old style, nearly half of which were rotten. I leave your readers to draw their own conclusions.— Letter in the Agricultural Gazette. A HOUSE BLOWN UP WITH GUNPOWDER.— On Saturday eveng week, about seven o'clock, a terrible explosion, fatal in its consequences, occurred at the shop aud house of Mr James Moore, chemist and druggist, Ince, near Wigan. It appears that Mr Moore was serving in the shop when two lads came in to purchase tobacco, and having filled their pipes, asked for a light. He lit a piece of paper at the gas, and handed it to tBefn, and it is supposed that a spark from the paper must have fallen into some colliers' blasting powder that was lying loose in thO shop, which at omce exploded with terrific report, knocking out the front wall of the shop and the house adjoining, and consi- derably damaging the adjacent premises. One little girl, named Mary Jane Taylor, about ten years of age, happened to be stand- ing at the shop window at the time, and she was killed on the spot, her body being dreadfully mangled. Another little girl, also named Taylor, had both her legs broken, and is so much in- jured that her life is despaired of. Mr Moore is himself very badly hurt, and Mrs Moore, who was buried in the ruins, was promptly got out, and found to be severely injured, but not so much as to lead to any fear of its terminating fatally with her. About five minutes before the accident a group of about twenty children were standing outside the shop, and had the explosion happened then the consequences might have been still more terrible. MURDER AT STEVENAGE.— On Wednesday a man named Jeremiah Carpenter was examined before the magistrates at Stevenage, Herts, on a charge of murdering John Starkins, one of the Herts constabulary, who was found dead in a field near the village on the 30th ult. It appeared to be distinctly made out that in consequence of the suspicion that was entertained that Carpenter was in the habit of robbing Mr Horne, the farmer in whose service he was employed, Mr Hawkes, the in- spector of the constabulary stationed at Stevenage, gave the deceased special instructions on the 30th of October to watch the prisoner, and see if he had any stolen property in his pos- session when he came home from his work, and that he went out for that purpose about half- past five o'clock. The evidence appeared to make out in the most satisfactory manner that the prisoner was seen close to the place where the deceased was last seen alive, and in a field hard by there were the marks of a violent scuffle; and a quantity of wheat, which was proved by Mr Horne to be of exactly the same description as some the prisoner was engaged in sowing on the day of the murder, was discovered strewn about on the ground. The prisoner went home apparently very lame, much later than his usual hour, and on the following morning he was unable to go to his work. The deceased was a strong young man, and is said to have been a very good wrestler, and there is no doubt that he made a most desperate attempt to secure the party, whoever he was, by whom he believed that a felony had been committed, and there is every reason to believe that he could not have been over- powered if Ms assailant had not stabbed him in the throat, and 4 BELL'S LIFE IN- LONDON, NOVEMBER 15, 1857.

THE SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING, TO THE EDITOR OP BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. Sis : The Shrewsbury Autumn Meeting, which in theatrical parlance is positively the last week of the season, is appointed for Tuesday, " Wednesday, and Thursday next; and under the same management the company will move on Friday to Ludlow, where the racing performers will make their bow until the middle of February. The Shrewsbury Meetings are celebrated beyond those of any other for the extraordinary num. ber of the entries, as well as for the curious proceedings con. nected with many of the races, and although these practices on their first introduction were leniently dealt with, partly from their amusing novelty, and the popularity of the lessee, the public have at length tired of them, and a sweeping Reform Bill is imperatively called for. Nevertheless Shrewsbury is always productive of sport, but generally fatal to the backers of horses, which will account for the immense number of bookmakers who patronise the meeting. The programme of the three days contains even more races than are desirabie at this late period of the year, as from the frequently unavoidable delays in starting it is generally dark before the sports are concluded— a circumstance which favours fraud in a locality where the morale of racing is not observed by any means too closely. T wenty- six races are spread over the three days; and although the Handicaps have been framed on a scale compared with which Mr Topham's are nothing, the weights have in every instance, I am glad to observe, been com- pelled to be raised to nine stone. The novelties of the Yearling Stake, from the interest it created last year, is still persevered in; and an additional race, in the shape of a Gold Cup of the value of three hundred sovereigns, on the last day, and to which an immense number of subscribers have been obtained, testify that Mr Frail has been keeping his weather eye open upon the doings of his colleague at Aiatree, and is not to be distanced by him in the struggle for popularity. Knowing so well the peculiar features of Shrewsbury, your readers will pardon me for not dilating upon them longer at present, as the affiche of Mr Frail is on too extensive a scale to enable its preliminary spicialites to be further noticed; nor shall I venture any guess at the winners, but conclude at once by wishing all parties con- cerned a pleasant and successful meeting.— Yours, & c, .

He came on to the Turf as soon as he was of age ( 1827), and won the first race he ever ran for, in Edinburgh, in the June of that year. At one time he had a dozen horses in training, including Bella, Sun- beam, and the renowned General Chass6. The latter was ulti- mately sold for 2,250gs to Mr Kir by, and went to Russia. Sir James's black and white strides were absent from the English Turf for some years, but he had latterly sent a horse or two to Thomas Larson and his old trainer Fobert. He was also a great patron of the Scotch coursing meetings, ahd was very successful with his Jason blood. A race took place on Stuttard Down, near Cowbridge, on the 10th inst, between five hacks of the neighbourhood, being a sub- scription of 10 sovs each, and was wen by Mr Morgan's chesnut felding Dartford, who also won a scurry race, beating the same eld. A match of £ 100 a side came off on the 10th inst, eu Swansea Race Course, between Mr Springe's Alice Grey and Mr Vivian's Lady Alice, and was won cleverly by the former. Mr T. W, Redhead has given the following names to his foals: — Bay colt by Dear Me out of Mary's dam, Alexander; brown colt by Black Doctor or Idle Boy out of Sir Colin's dam, Lawel JPadrick; bay colt by Dear Me out of Syren, liar wood Lee; and brown colt by Dear Me out of Hippona, Little Hulton, Mr J. T. Rowland has given the following names:— Yearling filly by The First Lord out of Laodamia's dam, Casta Diva; colt foal by Storm out of Pomme de Terre, Torrent; and colt foal by Teddington out of Music, by Slane, Pipo. THE GREAT STUD SALE IN FEANCE.— The whole of the Prince de Beauvau's stud and premises at Lamorlaye, near Chantilly, advertised for sale at the Tattersall's Franpais, Paris, on the 18th . inst, has been disposed of privately to Baron de Nivitsre, the price, on dit, being 15,000f, or £ 6,200. Henry Jen- nings will continue trainer to the establishment. Mons Reiset has purchased of Mr J. Godding the brood mare Caveat, 5 yrs, in foal to Alarm, and she has left in charge of Bar- tholomew for Chantilly. We understand that ia future Bar- tholomew will train and ride for Mons Reiset, and will shortly have charge of the horses now in training by Mr T. Carter, at Chantilly. ' Pactolus, 2 yrs, has left W. Harlock's stable and gone ta T. Brown's at Lewes, having been purchased from Lord Exeter. Sir Joseph Hawley has purchased Merlin and the yearling colt by Newmin » ter out of Peggy. Flybynight has been sold for l, 000gs, to go to America. Goldwater died a few days ago. Charles Rolph, the trainer, petitioned the court at Taunton on the 9th inst to be relieved from his liability. He was opposed by counsel, and after a lengthy investigation, in the course of which it appeared that he had instituted a vexatious defence to an action at common law, and otherwise misappropriated his assets, the judge ( C. Saunders, Esq) directed an amendment of the petition, and ordered the petitioner to come up at the next CoUrt for judgment. GRIMSBY RACES.— The weather at these races was very un- favourable, and the attendance small. The Brocklesby Plate of 3 sevs each, with 20 added, was won by Mr Condron's Nailor, beating Mr Grundon's Polly. The Hunters' Stakes of 2 sovs each, with 15 added, were walked over for by Mr Thomas Cham- ber's Sir Richard; and the Tradesmen's Stakes of l sov each, with 11 added ( heats, oaemile), were won by Attorn'?

ARMAGH STEEPLE CHASES. FRIDAY, Nov 6.— The chief interest of this meeting cen- tering in the Ulster Grand National, which Escape, as antici- pated, had all to himself, there was only a poor attendance on the second day, and both races having filled indifferently, the sport was equally meagre. For the Handicap five ran, and Louth had no difficulty in first passing the judge's chair, but, finishing on the wrong side of it, the race was awarded to the Fairy Queen, Bandy Bet securing the second money. Three ran for the Selling Stakes, in which Hanlon, quite out of luck, got a very severe fall in the first heat; and the race had otherwise an unfortunate termination, the Ugly Buck mare breaking her off hind leg in the second heat, leaving the " evergreen" Tom Tinker to canter home alone. The STEWARDS' PLATE of 30 sovs, added to a Handicap Sweep- stakes of 5 sovs each ; the second to save his stake; the winner to pay 5 sovs to the fund ; three miles.

Tom Tinker was first off, and, with Black Bess in attendance, made the running to the femce near the flax- hole, where the latter's fore feet stuck in the soft bottom; on landing and rolling over, she took no further part in the race. The Tinker held the lead past the Stand, followed in succession by The Fairy Queen, Loutn, and Bandy Bet to the brook the second time, where Louth took up the running, which he continued to the end, and won easily, but going on the wrong side of the winning chair, the race was awarded to The Fairy Queen.

W. Top- ham. Judge: Mr Clark. Starter: Mr E. Hibburd. Detrimental to sport as the fag end of the season must more or less be regarded, it was scarcely on paper that our labours would terminate without having to record another of those suc- cesses at Aintree so eminently due to one who has worked long and well for the racing community. Novelties, it is true, have never been wanting at Mr Topham's hands to keep the ball rolling throughout the year, but the present bill of fare, out- doing former efforts, might well tempt us to exclaim with the peace people, " What next, and next ?" Last year the presents tion of a magnificent cup by transatlantic maritime officers trading to the port of Liverpool, induced the lessee to tack on a third day to the meeting, a movement no less imperative than now doubly auspicious in the continuance of the liberal trophy that prompted it. Niggardliness having never formed part of the worthy beneficiaire's system, to keep pace with the growing importanoe of the gathering, new items in the " Scurry Corinthian," the Grand Stand Nursery, a six furlong handicap, & c, were provided. Out of nineteen appointments, making up an all- sufficient scheme for short days, five were apportioned to youngsters, more thau one of which brought un- usually good fields to the post, considering the advanced period of the season. Deserted subscription rooms have here ceased to weigh with the initiated in jumping to conclusions ; the same with regard to " reported" arrivals of horses, thirty of whom only were said to be in town up to a late hour on Monday night, whilst nearly treble the number were stabled upon or oouti- guous to the spot. Everything, therefore, depended upon the weather, which on Tuesday forenoon exhibited little amendment upon the almost impenetrable fog that in England for several days previously had made travelling more a matter of uncer- tainty than pleasure. Luckily, rain held off, aud, more for- tunately, soon after the racing commenced, the plaguy mist took itself off too. Steeple chasing at this meeting became a dead letter in 1855, and for all the sport latterly produced at Aintree, it would have. mattered little had hurdle jumping been placed on the shelf also. The usual item, however, was still retained for timber vaulrers, who were wont to perform on the last day, but upon the plan, we suppose, that if done ' twere best done quickly, the lessee now gave it the preference to open the ball. Nothing could have been more out of order, for what with driving in the hurdles and the running of novices— Chester and Moire Antique ( late Johnny Taft, winner of the Croxteth last year) included— the course was badly cut up near the leaps, all of which were taken in clever style, the speed of Miss Hark- away, who showed a dislike to the busin s3 throughout, alone bringing her home the winner. This over, the " legitimate" was well introduced by the dozen entered overnight, sporting silk for the All- aged Stakes; Agra ( now called Florence) and Jane were backed for a good deal of money, but the " pots" got cleverly bowled over by Leukothia, who ran re- markably game from start to fiuish. Of eleven runners next showing for the Kuowsley Nursery, Tunstall Maid became a " hot un" in the Ring, but though admirably piloted and running well, she could not concede 101b to the Baroness filly, who proved the best of the lot, her Manchester performance and the stable form by no means justifying the liberties taken; but a similar thing occurred twelvemonths ago, when Cumberland pulled it off in precisely the same way. Being such a good favourite for the Autumn Cup, it was little antici- pated that Cotswold would show for the Welter, next on the card, unless the party considered it a certainty; but he ran a slow horse under the weight and was defeated after a fine race by Little Tom, whereupon 100 to 8 was currently offered agst the Northleach candidate for the great event. The Juvenile Stakes, contested by a quartette only, was setdowna good thing for King William, but tiring at the finish he was unable to stall off the rush of . the chesnut filly by Orlando out of Martha Lynn, from W. Day's stable, who nicked him on the post by a head. The Aintree Plate turned out a mere canter for Master Bagot, whose fine turn of speed cut down his half dozen opponents directly after starting, Uzella, the favourite, apparently used up, having taken no part in the actual race, thus scoring the fifth win in succession to the fielders. Nothing was done on the Cup at the Rooms in the evening, but transactions at the Albion and other sporting houses were tolerably brisk at the following quotations : 5 to 1 agst Special Licence, 11 to 2 agst Underhand, 7 to l agst St Giles, 7 to 1 ag3t Wardermarske ( offered), 12 to 1 agst Cots- wold ( offered). All trace of foul or loggy interruptions vanished with the dawu of Wednesday, the sun shone out resplendently, the trains to the course wsrs - sIL freighjed compire?. with yes- terday, ring- goers mustered numerously, and so far all pro- ceeded " merry as a marriage bell." A selling stake, won by Jane, was first decided; after which six went to the post for the Silver Clarot Jug, presented by the lessee. It produced a slashing struggle with three, Englemere, the " pot," and Little Cob making a dead heat of it for second, and a head only behind Thistledown, to whom the judge awarded his fiat. The excite- ment common to " fine things" had no sooner subsided than attention was directed to the representation of Mr Land, that the race was void, owing to the horses having run a furlong short of the prescribed oourse. The stewards immediately entertained the objection, which they held to be valid, but, in ordering the race to be re- run, decided that all bets should stand. Lest blame might be supposed to attach to the starter,: it is right to mention that the blunder originated in another quarter. This morning, it ap- pears, directions were given to measure a couple of furlongs be- yond the quarter- mile post, and to mark the spot in the usual way. Mistaking his instructions the man measured one furlong only, and stuck in the post accordingly. The practised eye of Mr Hibburd soon detected that all was not right, and to make sure he despatched a messenger to Mr Topham before dropping his flag. The latter, in the fullest confidence that bis instruc- tions had been properly carried out, returned an answer to that effect; the horses were despatched without further delay, and hence the result. Thesecond " heat," in which Metadeclined to take part, was fixed to windup the afternoon's sport, when previous runningwas altogether reversed, andEnglemere saved her backers by a clever half- length. Favouritism settled upon Red White and Blue for the Corinthian Handicap, but nothing appeared to have the ghost of a chance with Chester, evidently more at home over the flat than at j umping. The Scramble Handicap not only looked acertainty on paper for Queen of the East, but actually proving so administered a heavy blow to the Ring, for she went for a heap of money. Polly ( own sister to the once celebrated Nancy), three years old, hot two, as misprinted on the cards, won the Helter Skelter, changed hands for 60 guineas and goes to Ireland with Jane, purchased after a previous race by the same party. The Sefton Handicap was a foregone conclusion for Master Bagot, who has vastly improved upon his two- year- old form, having won three handicaps in as many days. Movements in the town at! night merely showed a disposition to get on to St Giles for the great race of the morrow, but with- out affecting former quotations. On the whole, we here remark that few events have commanded greater interest or induced more speculation in the metropolis and the country,, the result of many good horses having entered and accepted, those backed for money by their respective owners being Underhand, St Giles, Cotswold, Special Licence, and Wardermarske, whilst the investments upon others were some- what limited. No wonder then that, favoured with increased brilliant weather on Thursday, so important a stake should at- tract by far the most numerous, respectable, and talented assem- blage of bookmakers and sportsmen yet attending these Novem- ber reyels, many of whom expressed astonishment that after so mud racing lately such a large number of horses should have found their way here. The general company was likewise con- siderably above the average, and a smart sprinkling of fashionables occupied the balcony of the principal Stand. Of seven races advertised for the third day, the All- aged Stake did not fill, but the substitution of a three furlong handicap proved more successful, and with it pro- ceedings were resumed at half- past twelve o'clock. Nothing, however, was presented for special remark until nineteen num- bers, three less than last year, were displayed for the Autumn Cup, including that of every animal on the card previously en- gaging public attention. Mr Horseley weighed out the riders with commendable alacrity, in connection with which it may be stated that December carried 21b over without announcing it within the required time. This, however, as will be seen below, was of little moment, inasmuch as St Giles was the intended of thes stable. The latter and Underhand were in immense force to the close, bu^ neither ever looked formidable in the race, seeing that Special Licence, also heavily supported, never gave his opponents a chance, having made the running from end to end, and won in hollow style at last. Maid of Derwent was struck out 12 a. m. this day The Cup, it is due to state, WW from the WU- KH0WII establishment of Mr E. Whistler, Strand. It was a truly exquisite production of the silversmith's art, thirty- two inches in height, with shields on either side. On the one is a bark in full sail, with the national emblems of Columbia and England entwined around it. The handles branch out from intervening spaces betweeu the shields, and represent two " fiery steeds," and the entablature of the whole consists of a superbly wrought classical figure of Fame, forcibly bespeaking the talent of the artist. The work reflects the highest credit upon the manufacturer whose skill in these matters is too well known to need any further commendation from us. The other races do not call for comment; in fact but little could be discerned of them through the mist, which also to some extent interfered with the principal contest, but became a good deal worse afterwards. It was unquestion- ably a great meeting, far exceeding Mr Topham's anticipations, the only drawback that we are aware of being the lamented death of Sir James Boswell on Friday last, whereby several no- minations were rendered void. We have seldom seen starting more admirably managed, or remember an instance where jockeys and the chief flag officer worked more cordially together. It would be superfluous to mention that the decisions of Mr Clark were unexceptionable, nor need we only briefly allude to the con- gratulations tendered on all sides to the lessee on this most de cided success. Stimulated by the latter, and the genuine spirit pervading the occasion, Mr T. provided a fourth day for such of the owners and trainers who never cry " enough." The least said, however, about the " bye" affair the better: it was a miserable failure in point of attendance, a fortunate circum- stance, nevertheless, seeing that in the discontinuance of the " specials," parties were left to seek their own methods of getting to the course as chances offered. TUESDAY, Nov 10.— A HANDICAP HURDLE RACE of 3 sovs each, with 30 added; two miles; over six flights of hurdles; 11 subs. Mr Barber's b f Miss Harkaway, by Sir Tatton Svkes, 4 yrs, 9st 61b C.

Conrad and R6veill6e lay in front to the hurdles half- way up the straight, which the latter knocked away, Conrad thence showing, or rather clearing the way, by smashing the next flight at the distance; the top- weight followed through the gap, then the grey, and after him the two favourites, Chester ( on his head and knees just previously) at least a score of lengths from them. More timber was shattered by the leader at the far side, without altering the positions last indicated until turning into the bottom, when Miss Harkaway became third, and waited on the old horse and Reveill6e to the last leap but one. Crack fell the timber again beneath the feet of Conrad, and once more jumping was suspended, a fifth touch of the de- molishing game at the finish enabling Miss Harkaway to quit her horses without an effort, and win in a canter by three lengths; Chester, a hundred yards behind everything at the straight, came with a rush at the half distance, and deprived Conrad ( minus a stirrup from the last hurdles) of second honours (?) by four lengths ; about as far separated each of the others, excepting Theodine, who was pulled up a quarter of a mile from home and did not pass the post. Run in 3min 59sec. The ALL- AGED SELLING STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added- for two year olds and upwards; weight for age, with selling allowances ; T. Y. C.; 12 subs.

Twice the greater portion of the troop broke away in disorder, aud considerable difficulty ensued in persuading The Flea to go to the post at all; consequently when the signal was given at the third attempt, two or three were in anything but compact order, St Dunstan being first off, attended by Jane. Leukothia, and Lady Ann, Princess of Orange lying wide of them on the left, next the rails. The three placed were, bow- ever, in front throughout, Jane and St Dunstan racing head aud head from the distance to the upper end of the Stand, where Leukothia came inside the pair, reached them in the last stride, and won a slashing race by a neck, the second beating the third by a head. Two lengths off Lady Ann was fourth, Thistledown fifth, the Psyche filly sixth, Princess of Orange and the favourite next. Run In 56sec. The winner was bought in fur 75gs.

There were three failures, | after which the Baroness filly jumped off with the lead, with the King, Tuustall Maid, and Ellen the Fair closely laid up to the half distance, where the fa- vourite drew into second place, but never reached the leader, who won easilv by half a length ; two lengths between second and third. Wild Honey was a middling fourth, Adventurer fifth, Nolly sixth, Captain Wedderburn, Satinstone, and Ellen the Fair next, the last two being Meta and Sally. Run in 58sec.

Little Tom, followed by Cotswold, made slow running to the bridge turn, when the pace mended, and the former went full two lengths in advanoe to the straight, where Little Tom ran wide, and lost a length or so to the other. They however closed in the next fifty yards, and raced together to the Stand, up to which point Cotswold retained a little the best of it, but the latter, unheeding the Captain's final call, Little Tom nobbed him in the last stride by a head. Little Gob, last throughout, was stopped inside the distance, and walked into the paddock with- out passing the post. Run in 2min 52sec, The JUVENILE STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, for two year olds: colts 8st 71b, fillies aud geldings 8st 4lb; maidens having started three times and not placed second allowed 71b ; winners once 6lb, twice or more 101b extra; T.

The running was made by Bourgeois, with the grey and The Martlet in immediate attendance, the two year old and De Ginkel lying at their heels, Uzella two or three lengths astern of everything. They ran in this order to the straight, where Master Bagot shot to the front, succeeded by Bourgeois, The Martlet, and the favourite to the distance, when the old horse gave way to the last- named pair and Leukothia, between whom a slashing struggle ensued, but neither got up to the leader, who quitted his horses half- way up, and won in a canter by three lengths; same dividing second, third, and fourth; Little Cob, as in the Croxteth, not troubling the j udge. Run in lmin 53sec. WEDNESDAY.— The SELLIKG STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 20 added; for two year olds and upwards; weight for » ge, with selling allowances; the second to save hfs stake; T. Y. C.'

After three failures Thistledown jumped off in advauce, waited upon by Englemere and Little Cob, Borderer going on fourth, Redcar, losing start, in the rear. The race, however, from start to finish, lay between the trio first named, who closed at the dis- tance, and ran home locked itogether; a magnificent struggle resulting in favour of the two year old by a head, with a dead heat for second; Borderer a middling fourth. Run in lmin 4sec. On returning to the scale it was submitted by the owner of Englemere that the horses had run a furlong short of the stipu- lated course. The matter was investigated by the stewards, and eventually the race was declared void— all bets to stand. The actual race:— 7 to 4 agst Englemere, 5 to 2 agst Thistledown, and 3 to 1 agst Little Cob. The favourite was first off, but was directly passed by Thistledown, Little Cob, and the Borderer, the latter dropping away at the distance, where Engle- mere crept up on the inside, and depriving the young- un ef the lead halt- way up, won cleverly by half a length, twice that in- terval dividing second and third; Borderer well up with the latter; Redcar, now ridden by Plumb, cantering in last. Meta did not go to the post a second time. Run in lmin 22sec.

Getting the best of the start, Chester, with the favourite at his side, made play, succeeded by Conrad and Octavia, Bourgeois next, Little Tom last. After going about three hundred yards the favourite took up the running and carried it on to the straight, but being in difficulties, Bourgeois, who had gradually improved his position, next showed in advance, with Chester lying at his quarters to the half distance, where the light weight challenged, quitted the old- un at the Stand, and won very easily by two lengths; bad third ; the rest widely scattered. Run in lmin & 6sec. At the scale a charge of crossing was lodged against Chester by the rider of Bourgeois, which, however, after a sub- sequent hearing, was declared non- proven.

Esperance broke away twice and delayed the start, which was nicely effected at the third attempt, Jane going off a " cracker," with Lady Nelson, the favourite, and Captain Wedderburn clustering behind her to the distance, where she was beaten; and the Queen, taking her colours to the fore, was not headed afterwards, and won « asily by half a length; Lady Nelson beaten a neck for second, finishing as far before .

The latter however rushed to the front when the flag was lowered, and cut out the work two or three lengths in advance of the mare, close up with whom lay the favourite, followed by Bourgeois, King of Scotland, and The Martlet whip- ping in. The positions of the forward trio were unaltered to the bridge turn, when the light weight put on more steam, and the tailing commenced in earnest. Alter entering the straight the lead of Sir Humphrey gradually diminished, and finally com' pounding at the distance, where Miss Harkaway was also beaten, the grey came away without an effort, and won in a common canter by two lengths; The Martlet taking advantage of the stopping of the others, pushed on at the finish, and saved his stake six lengths before Sir Humphrey, King of Scotland being fourth, Miss Harkaway fifth, Bourgeois finishing close up with her.

The Psyche filiy held a clear lead to outside the distance, when the favourite went in front, and was winning in a canter at the Stand, opposite which Brown Bonnet came with a rush, which an application of the whip to Thistledown only stalled off by a neck; two lengths between second and third. Run in lmin 23sec. The winner was bought iu for 38gs, and Brown Bonnet was claimed by Mr Osborne under the rule.

Tournament and Dunboyne turned frac- tious and broke away ; they were, however, soon pulled up, and returned to the post, but only to repeat the frolic, this time taking with them Hamlet, December, Queen Bess, and Sir Humphrey, the latter going on by himself to the Stand. At length an extraordinary even start was effected for so large a field, a dozen or so clustering together for the first hundred yards rendering next to impossible to make out what was leading. Special Licence however had shown iu advance di rectly the signal was given, kis immediate followers, as they raced for the top turn, being Queen Bess, Underhand, Tourna- ment, December, and Gilliver. At the head of the next division were Master Humphrey and St Giles, El Hakim, Strathnaver, Wardermarske, and Hamlet, packed together, at their heels, Cotswold lying at the tail of the ruck, Fisherman two or three lengths astern of him, Dunboyne figuring in the extreme rear. Except that St Giles and Hamlet drew forward, we could make out no material change along the far side, where the tail assumed a formidable length; but, in round- ing the bridge turn, Gilliver and Queen Bess went up to the leader, but fell back again without fairlv heading nim, December going on fourth, Tournament fifth, Underhand and St Giles next. Half way between the bridge and the straight Queen Bess beat a retreat, when Cotswold came through the ruck, and joined the forward flight, as did St Giles in the next fifty yards on the retirement of his stable com- panion, who merely ran to make running, Dunboyne at this faint also creepingup to the front. Entering the straight, Spccial licence was still slightly in command, the lot running nearly level with him at the distance being Cotswold, St Giles, and Dunboyne, Fisherman and El Hakim now four or five lengths in their wake. Afterwards the race was not for a moment in doubt, especially when, half way up, Mr Merry's horse shook off his lour remaining opponents without an effort, and lauded the prize in a canter by two lengths ; Cotswold secured the second money by a neck in advanoe of the Irish horse, and St Giles was beaten two lengths from him. At about twice that interval Fisherman was fifth, El Hakim sixth, Hamlet seventh, Victoria eighth, The Zouave ninth, Gilliver tenth, and after him came December, Wardermarske, and Underhand, the last three being Tournament, Laverna, and Queen Bess.

Berkeley's r b Blanche 1 Capt Bathurst's be t d Malakoff 2 That the commencement of the season in the South has not been signalised by the same amount of success that has attended the coursing gatherings in the North, the returns of the Ash" down, Amesbury, Spelthorne, and other meeti » gs compared with those of the Ardrossan. Biggar, Southport, Altoar, Ridg" onthe waneintheSouth, and we hope that the " lovers of the leash" will see the necessity of bestirring themselves to support the honourable distinction that has attached to the Southern courser since the amusement became a recognised national pastime. Although recently deprived of one of its bightest orna- ments by the lamented death of Mr Lawrence— a name esteemed and beloved by the courser of every grade— the South can boast of a goodly phalanx of supporters, amongst whom are to be found many of the most distinguished coursers in the kingdom, and where, let us ask— without, be it understood, wishing in the slightest degree to detract from other localities— is there such ground, or are hares for efficiently trying the real merits of grey- hounds to be met with, as at Amesbury and incomparable Ashdown? When at the close of the last season the project of a " National Coursing Club," as " supreme authority for forming rules and holding court for final appeal on all coursing matters' was set on foot, we indulged in expectations of the benefits to to be expected therefrom, which it is to be regretted have not been realised. No further step has been taken, and the matter remains in statu quo, only to be rediscussed, we presume, when the " Coursing Congress" re- assembles next March, to celebrate another anniversary of the great Waterloo meeting. Where the fault lies nobody seems to know, but let us repeat our earnest hope that so important and requisite a measure will, sooner or later, be adopted. Many cases requiring the adjudica- tion of such a tribunal have lately arisen— one especially, very recently at Amesbury, relative to the proper definition of public and private meetings, of which more anon. The Ashdown re- unions are always looked forward to with most pleasurable feelings, and the addition of the two new Puppy Stakes of £ 5 each, 2 ft, served to increase the attraction of the present anni- versary. These closed on the 1st of August, the Craven Cup for dog puppies with twenty- five, and the Ashdown Cup for bitches with twenty- eight entries ; but at the appointed time for paying stakes, on Monday evening, only eight were left in the former, and twelve in the latter. Of those engaged in the Craven Cup, Mr Alilson's Artist and Mr Biick's Pre- sumptuous are dead; Mr Dobede's two have gone blind; Mr Etwall's two, and two of Mr Bowles's were amiss; and Mr Ran- deli's reported moderate. Of the bitches, Mr Dobede's three were amiss; Mr R. Long's Lady Ply and Life let us Cherish got lamed at Overton; and Mr Randell's two, like their male companions, of " no account." The secretaries were without instructions respecting Messrs Borron's, F. Gardner's, C. Woodward's, and J. S. Lee's nominations; consequently, at the appointed time they were struck out. The Red Lion, Lambourne, was " head quarters," as formerly, and an excellent dinner, reflecting con- siderable credit upon Mr and Mrs French, was presided over by Ralph Efewall, Esq, supported by upwards of twsnty guests. The healths of " The Queen" snd " LordCraven" ( with many thanks to him for his unbounded liberality and kindness in grantingtheuse of his extensive domain and providing hares) were received with due honour, after which the secretaries commenced the preparation of the morrow's card, which was limited ta the Craven and Ashdown Cups, a sixteen, and an eight dog stakes of £ 5 each, the Lambourne Cup of £ 10 each for thirty- two all- ages having failed to obtain | he requisite number of entries. The betting was too trifling for quotation, and confined entirely to the courses, nothing being backed outright, although it was apparent that Mr Bowles's brindled Lurlei family were the favourites for their respective engagements. In order to guard against a recurrence of the unpleasant proceedings which took place at Amesbury, where, after winning three courses, Bessie of the Vale was disqualified on the ground of improper nomination, the Chairman, before the draw took place, suggested that if any one had an objection to make it should be settled at once, inas- much as that the second of Thacker's rules ( under which the meetiHg was held), embraced the whole question, viz, " If any person shall enter a greyhound by a different name from that in which he or she last appeared in public without giving notice of such alteration, and causing the same to be notified in the card for the day, he shall be disqualified." This opinion was uni- versally coincided in, and it was adopted by the meeting without dividing upon the important point as to whether the Croome Sapling meetings ( at one of which, when, the property ofthe late Mr Lawrence, who subsequently gave them to Mr Bowles, several of the latter's dogs ran in the spring of the present year under different names,) are public or private. For our own parts we unhesitatingly agree in the opinion expressed by Mr Bowles that the Croome meetings in question are private, consequently that the decision of the Amesbury stewards in disqualifying Bessie of the Vale because she was not entered as " late Leopardess" ( the name in which, unknown to her present owner, she ran at Croome), was a wrong one. It was held that inasmuch as that the Croome engagement had been announced in the catalogue when the dogs were sent to the hammer last summer, and the meeting, whereat a paid judge offi- ciated, hadsit& seaMe » % been reported in Belt's Life and Thacker, it was a public one ; but, on the other hand, we contend that as the meeting at Croome in question was not advertised before- hand, and the stakes were confined to a select circle of friends, these facts in themselves are sufficient to show that it was the wish of the promoters that privacy should be secured, and the subsequent reporting of the results does not alter the private character of tne proceedings, consequently that the omission of the name under which Mr Bowles's bitch ran on that occasion ought not to have disqualified her at Amesbury. A precisely similar case occurred on the Turf a few years back. At Chester Autumn Meeting, 1S52, Titterstone, the winner of the Welter Cup, was objected to on the ground that he ought to have carried 31b extra, for winning a handicap worth £ 100 at the Liverpool Hunt Club Meeting, held at Hoylake; but his owner denied the horse's liability on the ground that the Liverpool ; Hunt was a .' private meeting not recognised by the Racing Calendar, althougn publicly advertised previously and reported in Bell's Life and other papers ; and the stewards decided in Titterstone's favour. In like manner, all winners of private matches at Newmarket and elsewhere, though reported in the official organ, are exempted from penal- ties of winners. . .... The weather on Tuesday, the opening day, was anything but favourable for coursing, a damp chilly fog hanging over the country throughout the morning which afterwards changed to drizzling rain. The " meet" was at the Lambourne end of the wood, wnence a move was made up the down to tha west of the rubbing house, and a few minutes after ten o'clock the first brace of dogs were in slips. The attendance at this time was very limited, but it gradually improved, and before half a dozen courses had been decided the " House party," consisting ofthe Countess of Craven, the Ladies Elizabeth, Evelyn, Blanche, Beatrice and Emily, the Earl - of Sefton, the Hon Captain Duncombe, the Hon Grantley Berkeley, and Captain Bathurst. put in appearance. Later in the day they were joined by the Earl of Craven, who, as usual, entered con amore into the spirit of the proceedings, and thereby materially contributed to the enjoyment of all present. His lordship has long been an influ- ential supporter of coursing, and no portion of his family seems to enjoy it more than his estimable countess and her charming daughters, who, habited in the prettiest of costumes, proved themselves equally good pedestrians as fearless and elegant horsewomen. Their riding throughout a course, accompanied by the musical tones of their encouraging cheer, was most inspiriting, and outvied, if possible, the enthusiasm of the sterner sex, many of whom, by the bye, sported mufti of a most quaint character. The twesty- two courses os the card were increased by a couple of " no- goes " to four- and- twenty trials, the ma- jority of which were sufficiently long to test any greyhound's qualities. The hares, though somewhat scarce, ran much better than could have been expected after the recent mild weather, and as usual at Ashdown, in many instances defied the efforts of their pursuers. The opening course of the meeting between Lucius and Bingo for the Craven Cup was one of the shortest during the day, and so evenly run that everybody was prepared for the removal of Mr M'George's cap as in- dicative of a " no- go." A rare hare was found for their second trial, who led them a tremendous dance round the top of the hill, down the side, and as far as the new road in course of construc- tion up to the House, at which she turned away and ran up the hill again, back to the small plantation out of which she was driven, and escaped. Lucius showed best speed at the com- mencement, but the hare soon found out his weak point, and Bingo had the remainder of this long trying course to himself. Harlequin and Roswell, the latter of whom won cleverly, also met a hare too good for both. Hanly and Tempest: The former got the best of the slip, but Tempest showed fine speed, and soon got on even terms with him; running wide, however, the black did little afterwards, and Hanly won a long course easily. Buckstone led Bumptious to the hare, when the latter got in, and each did a good deal of work, the balance of a very long course, which extended almost to the park wall, being all in favour of the Rugby dog, who ran true on the line of the hare throughout and killed; Buckstone, on the contrary, ran rather wild. In the next course, and the first of the Ashdown Cup, Mr Bowles was more fortunate with Bessie of the Vale, who after a close race up the hill obtained first turn on the outer circle from Arrow, and brought the course to a speedy conclusion by a clever kill. The trial between Lucy Elmore and Wild Rose, two quick bitches, was all one way— in favour of the latter. Hannah beat Daphne very cleverly in a long course on the flat. A splendid struggle up hill between Madge Wildfire and Beauty of the Night ( late Lady le Gros) was won by the former, who took advantage of the hare bending to her side; the favourite then got in, and did not give her opponent a chance throughout the remainder of a pretty long course. The Brighton bitch, Spirit of the Rhine ( another daughter of Lurlei presented by her late owner to Mr Stocken), maintained the family prestige, how- ever, and lswered the pride of her Rugby opponent most effec- tually. In the succeeding course, however, Mr Blick revenged his defeat by clipping Ariel's wings with Maggie Duggin, who thus early found backers outright for the stake. In their first slip, both got unsighted in the long tufts of grass in the bottom, when we ohanged quarters to th « foot of the opposite range of hills, where upwards of three- quarters of an hour elapsed before a hare was found. At last they met with a rattler, who after a long course over the bill, and out of sight of everybody but the Judge, escaped to cover, Maggie after a beautiful struggle for first turn having it all her own way throughout. The first course tor the Compton Bottom Stakes between Lady Clara and Clara was a tremendous one, and must have reminded her ladyship ( now the property of a Welsh courser) of the qualities of the Ashdown hares which brought her powers so prominently into notice at this meeting last year. Both did an immense deal of work, but the patrician's claims proved pre- eminent with the Judge. Chandos and All Dazzling was a well- contested race throughout, and so evenly balanced that until the white flag was hoisted it was impossible for the lookers- on to say which had the best of it, albeit many inclined to Chandos. In the course between The Cure and Dart, the latter's flight was too rapid and too true both for her opponent and the hare, and all The Cure's art failed to prolong poor pussy's life, which was brought to so rapid a termination that the fair owner of the beaten aog could only lament the shortness of the trial. Captain and Childers : The former had it all his own way, owing to the latter meeting with a bad fall early in the course, from the effects of which it was at first feared his back was broken; but such was not the case, and we subsequently learnt there was little the matter with the " flying (?)" one when he left Lambourne on Thursday morning. Cousin S. polished off War Eagle most handsomely. Brunette and Hermas had a terrific course, in which an immense amount of work was done by both, the balance, however, being in favour of the bitch, who ( pwjehaied at Mr Borron's sale in the spring) fully maintained tfli character her previous performances in Lanca- shire and Scotland had gained for her. The dog showed symp- toms of eunning. A fine race out of slips between Saraband and Lord Mayor resulted in the latter giving the Altcar dog a go- bye and getting first turn; the white followed up with some pretty work, when Saraband got in and wiped off several points, butiLord Mayor coming again won very decisively. In their first slip Susannah and Cornet Graham became unsighted, the second resulted in a " no- go," and the third exhibited the Cornet a clever winner. The remaining courses for the Uffington Stakes were very decisively won, and call for no particular remark, beyond the severity of that between Alexander and Bearskin, who went " over the hills and far away," running nearly two miles as the crow flies. Wednesday was a glorious day, and the brilliancy of the wea- ther, added to the popularity of the Compton Bottom meet, drew one of the largest attendances ever seen at Ashdown, especially of foot people— including the whole of the House party ( increased by the arrival of Mr W. and Lady Mary Craven), Viscount Somerton, the Hon G. Barrington, Messrs R. Etwall, J. S. Bowles, W. Long, R. Long, W. H. Stone, Jortin, Bennett, and other well- known coursers. We cannot stop to admire the extent and boldness of the pano- rama, the charming effect of the autumnal tints upon the foliage, or the unequalled character of the arena for sport of this de- scription as that which this district presents, but must at once proceed to record briefly the leading incidents of the day's sport, which, on the whole, was not so good as yesterday's. Hares were not over plentiful, nor in their running, " except here and there a one," did they exhibit the high character for which the Comp- ton Bottom hares are so celebrated. The sports as yesterday commenced, strange enough, with a short undecided course for the Craven Cup between Bingo and Roswell, the latter of whom was afterwards drawn. Bumptious beat Hanly very cleverly with a good hare. The first trial for the Ashdown Cup, between Beauty of the Night and Maggie Duggin, created much inte- rest, but the issue was never doubtful, the black bitch doing nearly everything, and finishing with a splendid kill. Mr Bowles was equally unfortunate with Bessie of the Vale, who was outworked ' oy Wild Rose with a dodging hare which kept to the bottom. Hannah and Spirit of the Rhine were unsighted, but in the second slip the former won a moderate course in clever style.— Compton Bottom Stakes: The first course between Lady Clara aad Saraband afforded a splendid strug- gle to the hare, which was killed by the latter, whom We thought entitled to the judge's award, but Mr M'George was of a different opinion, and two " no- goes" occurred before a decision could be arrived at, when, after a long course, in which both did a great deal of work, Sarabaud was declared the winner, not, however, in this instance, too, without a few dissentients. It also struck us that in the " no go" between Brunette and Cornet Graham the former had a trifle the best of it, but position is everything, and we do not attempt for an instant, be it understood, to impugn the judge's decision. The second trial between these two was one of the closest and most evenly contested of the mee ing, resulting in the success ot the dog with little to spare. All- Dazzling did two- thirds of the work in a course of moderate length with Cousin S., and after leading Dart to the hare, the latter tooK all the trouble out of Captain's hands,— the majority of the foregoiag trials taking place on the flat, owing to the hares declining to break away up the slopes towards the Park. Bearskin and Lucknow were next put in slips for the Uffington Stakes, and a brace of hares getting up after they had started each took to different ones. The former ran his to cover after a moderate course, but Lucknow, less fortunate, met one of the right sort, who broke away over the hill, and after a terrific single- handed course with Lucknow, succeeded in reaching the Park, the dog having twice " fluffed" her en route. Captain Bathurst and Mr. Long afterwards " came to terms," and Lucknow was drawn. Ebberston and Larkspur had a short " no go," but their next hare took them at least two miles from the bottom, across the Roinau road, up the White Horse hill in the direction cf Kingston Warren, then turned again, and was killed half way down this side the hill, the judge, whose riding during the meeting was the subject of general admiration, being with his dogs throughout. The remainder of the running this afternoon does not call for special comment, the only incident for notice being in the course between Cedric and Hermas in the Weyland Stakes, wherein the former, in spite of a bad fall, whereby his knee and right eye were much injured, polished off his opponent in the most decided manner. Mr Blick merely ran Hennas to satisfy himself of the dog's dis- honesty, and the second exhibition ot cunning which he showed to- day was sufficient to cause a " dissolution of partnership" be- tween them hereafter. The meet on Thursday was at Madley Farm, adjacent to the far- famed Kingston Warren, between which locality and Compton Bottom it would be difficult to choose. Both are unequalled, although the hares to- day were far superior to those met with yesterday and Tuesday. The hares ran remarkably strong, and it was admitted by many of the oldest habitues cf Ashdo wn present that finer coursing was never witnessed. The morning being rather foggy, half an hour's law was allowed, by which time the sun had exerted such powerful influence that it was sufficiently clear to commence. Bingo and Bumptious were accordingly put into slips for the deciding course for the Craven Cup, and the former was fortunate in meeting with a rattling hare. He led Bumptious several lengths, and made five or six points in succession, when the black got in, but was unable to wipe off the score against him, and Bingo again passing him drove Pussy to cover. The next trial was between Maggie Duggan and Spirit of the Rhine for the second ties of the Ashdown Cup, and a splendid one it proved, Maggie led ten lengths to the hare, drew her perfectly round from the out- side circle, and for the first mile did not allow her opponent one of the many points she made. After descending the hill into the bottom The Spirit succeeded iu working hei way in, made two or three wrenches, and gave the black go- by, when the latter recovered the lead, and was never disturbed in it afterwards, the haro jumping into the plantation followed by both her pursuers, who failed, however, to pull her down. Wild Rose ran her bye with Bessie of the Vale, and the result showed that if they had met a similar hare the day before, the previous decision might have been reversed. Wild Rose, nevertheless, is a very close, clever worker. This course was a tremendously long one, notwith- standing the circumstance of three dogs being engaged in it, owing to Cornet Grakam having slipped his collar and " joined in," but having his clothes on, he did not assist the others much. In the second ties for the Compton Bottom Stakes Dart injured one of his legs very severely early iu his course, and Saraband in consequence had all her own way afterwards. The stewards having granted the owner of Cornet Graham a little " law," the deciding course for the Uffiagton was next run off between Ebberston and Bearskin. The latter led out of slips and did a great deal of work until he fell in the hollow, which appeared to take the steam out of him, for in rising the hill leading to Kingston Warren plantation he was unable to assist Ebberston, who, having worked off his stiff- ness brought on by the " bucketting" he got the day before, made a succession of wrenches in beautiful style almost up to the top, when the black got in again and finished the course in gallant style with a kill close under the hedge of the plantation. This, we believe, was Captain Bathurst's debut as a courser, and it is not a little curious that he should accomplish his first victory with a dog purchased only a few days previously, who had undergone no preparation whatever. Several instances of a similar nature have recently been recorded at other great meetings,— so much for the quackery of high training ! Cornet Graham and All Dazzling were next called to the slips, and the latter made so good a fight of it that but for the contre- temps which he met with only a short time previously it is hignly probable the decision might have been reversed. The trial between Mocking Bird and Evergreen, and Solitude and Prettv Lass for the Swinley Stakes were " near things," the namesake of the great southern " flyer" of 1851, though a very fiae bitch, exhibiting symptoms of roguishness. In the Wey- land Stakes Cedric ran exceedingly game in his course with Lisette considering the disadvantageous terms upon whieh he met bis opponent after his fall yesterday. Cantab and Brace- let had a terrific course of at least three miles, and the trials between Lorcha and Jove and Priscilla and Loodiana were also of a character to test their staying qualities. The weather, which up to this time had been brilliant in the extreme, now un- derwent an extraordinary change. A dense fog worked upfrom the valley and put a stop to the sport for at least an hour, when it as suddenly vanished, the interval having been taken advantage of for luncheon, which as on each of the other days was supplied with Lord Craven's accustomed liberality from his well- known cart, " presided over" by Mr Crittenden. An amateur foot race likewise served to " keep things alive" during the temporary suspension of the coursing, which was subsequently renewed, but soon put a stop to again by the re- appearance of of the enemy, whereupon the decision of the remaining items was postponed to the following day. One or two courses were actually run off in the fog, that between Seacole and The Cure being a rattler; and Lady Elizabeth's success was the signal for a tremendous outburst of cheering, which served to recall the scattered fragments of the benighted troopers. How the company accomplished the difficult task of getting off the Downs under such trying circumstance our readers can best imagine; suffice it to state that their vicissitudes afforded ample subject for ridicule and amusement. Ashdown is a charming locality, but for our own parts we have no desire to explore its topographical sections in a fog ! On Friday the fog had entirely disappeared ; all was bright aad serene, and the short morning's sport amply compensated for the disappointment of yesterday afternoon. Soothsayer and Vivid were the first in the slips, and the dog won cleverly. Then followed a " no go" between CousinS. and Lilly Dawson, but in the next trial, with a strong hare, Cousin S. won a severe course easily. In the match, Blanche outpaced Malakhoff ail the way, and added another " feather to the cap" of Mr Grant- ley Berkeley, from the correct estimate he had formed of the power of his opponent; and his success was some re- turn for the failures of Blanche and her companion on Wednesday. The deciding courses for the Ashdown Cup and for all the other stakes, with the exception of that for the Weyland, were as fine and severe tests of greyhounds as could be desired with strong hares over a mile of turf up a gentle rise; and if the best greyhound did not win it was solely its own fault. All the decisions were satisfactory. The course between Cantab and Lisette was short, and the fire with which the dog ran was quite astonishing after his finishing course of yesterday. The running of The Cure and Cousin S. showed that with good hares they were very hard to beat, and their condition, which was the acme of perfection, enabled them at the finish of two splendid courses to leave tkeii compe- titors very far behind. Of the two victorious puppies Maggie Duggin is by Bounce, the property of Mr Blick, of Rugby, and Bumptious and Maggie are the first of his puppies which have run in public. Bounce is by Mr Etwall's Egypt, and is likely to become a favourite stallion. The winner of the Ashdown Cup is black, with great mucular powers, especially in her haunches, is low on the leg, and quite a picture. She is only fourteen months old, is very fast te the hare, turns well, and has a very smooth style of running, and was, without doubt, the crack puppy of the meeting. Her condition, as well as that of all his dogs did great credit to Ridge, formerly trainer to Mr Jar- dine. Whilst speaking of trainers we ought not to omit to remark that Talbot who served the late Mr Lawrence so suc- cessfully in that capacity had a strong lot of dogs at the meeting and carried off two stakes with Cantab and Joe for his new masters. Bingo, the winner of the Craven Cup, is a large dog deep in his chest, broad across his loins, and altogether a re- markably fine puppy and his gameness after his extraordinary course on the first day proves him to be a worthy descendant'} his sire and dam. Mr M'George was very felicitous in his decisions, and at i former Ashdown meeting has he given more entire satisfaction to the owners of greyhounds and to the public. During the whole of the meeting there was no wrangle, nor did anything untoward occur to disturb the harmony and good feeling of the brethren of the leash both in the field and at the social board. The two slippers, Noblett and Stratton, got through their task in the most satisfactory manner, and in conclusion we must pay a just tribute to the indefatigable exertions of Messrs Etwall and Bowles, the honorary secretaries, for the admirable manner in which the meeting was conducted throughout, the latter being most assiduous in his attention to the beating, whilst the former proved himself well worthy of his " Field- Marshal's" baton by his skilful management of the crowd. The next meeting at Ashdown is fixed for Monday the 25th of January, the particulars of which will be advertised in our next. I0NGH0RSLEY ( NEAR MORPETH) MEETING Nov 9 & 10.

Riddell, Esq, in Felton Park. A large assemblage of coursers met at Loug- horsley on the first day, which was very wet, and to this may be attributed the unsatisfactory day's sport which followed, only eleven courses being decided on that day. On Tuesday the sport was much better, and afforded some beautiful trials on the large old pastures of Smallburn and Haredean. The dogs which struck me as being most worthy of notice were Janet Forest, Rector, Benton Bell, Napoleon, and Hussar, but the A 1 course of the meeting was that between Rector and Hussar, just won by the brindle, and most beautifully contested, the running of both being greatly admired. Darkness coming on prevented the stake being run out, as will be seen from the sbove return. Messrs Bennett and Watson gave every satis- faction.— Yours, & c, B. Mr Ingleby's Morber beat Mr Gordon's Gadfly, and won the stakes. Third prize divided between Porteea and Godolphin. The SOUTH LANCASHIBE^ STAKES, for bitch puppies.

Belgravian led Ben Lomond, serving himself, increased his lead, and turned his hare several times in succession, when Ben got in, but could not wipe off the- previous score. Pugilist and Bothwell, immediately after being slipped, were joined by Pugilist's owner's dog Portland, which was only just being taken up after his no- go. Mr Brown's trainer claimed the course. The stewards, however, decided that Portland was not, according to the letter of the rules, taken up, and allowed Pugilist to stand. Second slip: Pugilist turned twice, Bothwell killing ( no- go). Third slip: Bothwell, from au inside position, turned to Pugilist, who made the next three very prettily, Bothwell killing ( again undecided), when Pugilist was drawn. Godolphin and Magyar: The latter, who wants experience, having only seen a few hares, lost the two first points, but ran a nice course, and was only just beaten. Sand- boy, showing great pace and cleverness, easily cut down Martin. Gammon and General: A short no- go. They became unsighted ; the latter, however, got his hare, and ran a long singlehanded course. Second slip : Short and unsatisfactory. In their third attempt they had a good struggle, the hare fa- vouring Gammon, who turned thrice, serving General, who exchanged the next points. Gammon in a stretch was passed by General, who finished a good course slightly in his favour. Laddie led Gortchakoff and beat him throughout. Morber slightly led Black Game and wrenched, Black Game making a ! turn, serving Morber, who quickly wrenched twice or thrice, and killed. Heckler made a sad example of Gamester, who must be very bad, or Heckler very good. SOUTH LANCASHIRE.— Jessamine and Gliff: The for- ner had nearly the whole of an average trial. Biuesky beat Griselda throughout a nice trial, running very close and in beautiful form. Jeaebel and Minna Troil had an undecided. Second : An unsatisfactory trial, in which Minna Troil got a b < th, but never- theless won very cleverly. Bounce and Satin had three no- goes, when Satin was drawn. The first was a run up in long stubble, which might have been decided. Second: Unsatisfactory. Third: A nice trial, in which Satin fell into a drain, afterwards joining and contesting several points very evenly, Bounce killing. Guidette, after Wildflower made first turn, won a shortish course, the latter part of which I could not see. Bit of Heather took a good lead, and fetched the hare to Ada, who floundered, and gave Bit of Heather no more assistance in a moderate course. Mary M'Chree was much too fast for Sym- pathy throughout a short course, as was Thirty- six for Grisi. Bit of Fancy lost first turn from Swiss Girl, but scarcely a point afterwards in a long trial, working admirably and finishing with a nioe kill. Glowworm, Whisperer, and Jeanie Deans eacn cut dow » their opponents very decisively in a fast clever style. Madeline and Fairy ran two short no- goes; in the second a bad slip at a drain, bothuusighted, Fairy getting her hare and killing single- handed; in their third attempt Madeline turned thrice oonsecutively, Fairy wrenched and killed. Bell's Life was slightly led by Prejudice, who picked up her hare. THE CHITON CUP.— Memorable for no- goes. Banner Blue and Sim: A short unsatisfactory trial.— Second slip: The former, with a dodging hare, cleverly put out Sim. Grisette and Black Belle: The former made first turn, after a nice run up ; Black Belle the two next, and fell in trying to kill, Grisette picking the hare up. Second: Black Belle led on the inside and killed. Third: Grisette cleverly won a short trial. Monseigneur and Castinette ran two undecided courses, and their final trial was very unsatisfactory. Hestia, after a no- go, easily disposed of Wretched. Gainsborough and Alluring: The former led with great pace from the slips, knocking his hare about in good style, but fell while pressing her. Alluring, taking the opening, made the next point or two; Gainsborough, coming again, served Alluring, who turned once or twice, and made a flue kill. Blood- shot and Protest: An exciting course ; they ran four undecides, in all of which Bloodshot showed the pace, and worked equally clever ; I certainly thought the second and fourth runs might have been decided, and my position was in a line with the judge. Aurora and Chieftain : A nice ocurse, cleverly won. The former showed the speed, serving Chieftain, who exchanged several points very nicely, Aurora making a good kill. Blooming Heather and Manganese had a long rsn to cover; the latter had a b< td fall in the early part, which extinguished her chance, Blooming Heather running magnificently, with great fire and pace throughout. Bright Ensign and Barleycorn, after a no- go. ran a nice course ; well won by the former. Mademoiselle and Gloukoi: The latter much faster throughout a long trial. Gun- boat and Cotillon, and Mutiny and Moscow ran each a no- go, which concluded the day's running. Owing probably to the openness of the season the hares proved remarkably weak, perhaps more so than I have ever seen them. The weather, too, in the afternoon broke into a deluge of rain, and combined to render the sport far from inviting. Mr Bennet appeared to want confidence in himself in giving so many undecides. These were most unprecedented, especially in the Clifton Cup, where before nine courses were decided he gave thirteen no- goes. To this cup the new feature has been added of a ladies' prize, consisting of a valuable necklace, presented by a Scotch member, and this year the nominations have exceeded the number for any previous year. The attendance of members on the field was very large, and it was a pity that circumstances did not more favour the enjoyment. A NOETH COUNTKYAIAN. RIDGWAY CLUB.— TESTIMONIAL TO MR BAKE. At the meeting of the club on Thursday evening last at Ly> tham, present thirty- six members and friends, Joseph Ridgway, Esq, the president, in a highly complimentary and feeling ad dress, presented Mr Bake, on behalf of the club, with a testi- monial, as a slight token of the esteem of the members, and for his efficient services rendered to the club as its secretary. In doing so he alluded to the energy, tact, and the business- like manner in which he had managed the affairs of the club since he had become its secretary, referring to its present high state of efficiency and success, both numerically and finameiaflv. « « d wound « « ® ""— '" greyhounds was decidedly np to the mark. The owners of the four last left in for the Vernon Cup, and of the three last in the Sudbury Cup, need not fear any country or co- lour where dog can run and man can see— tiiey will always beat more than will beat them. Of this class also are the winners of the Lawley and Consolation Stakes, A * ™ n? ers-. uP being only a little remove behind them As to Mentor, it was the merest toss- up whether he or Legerde- main stood in, in the second round for the Vernon Cup. There were two or three extremely close shaves, in which, as a matter of course, the disappointed ones grumbled a little, but, as it whole, the decision of the tryer gave general satisfaction. As to tne management, it is only necessary to observe that everybody seemed to appreciate the pains and trouble that the evidently popular and respected secretary had taken to render the meeting everything that could be desired. Tha ordinary was well a£ tended, and a good substantial repast was served up, but the style of waiting somewhat reminded us of descriptions of life at the Diggings, whence, as we were informed, mine host is a recent importation. Be this as it may, he is au honest straight- forward fellow, who gave no one the opportunity of finding fault with ins charges, which were undeniably moderate.— Yours, & c, A COBBESPONDENT OF " AULD LANG STNE."

There was a good muster of the right sort on Wednesday afternoon, including the president and vice, several distinguished coursers from " over the border," as also from the " sister isle," which, with a number of English coursers from north and south, made up a goodly company. The entry for the Clifton Cup, added to which was a very handsome necklace of the value of £ 50, most liberally presented by W. G. Borron, Esq, closed with 40 nominations, the North Lancashire with 32, and the South Lancashire with 28, a total of 100 dogs. The cup entry comprised five belonging to the liberal donor of the necklace, three in his own name ana two others most kindly lent for the occasion to other members. The dogs were entered by him on the distinct understanding that in competing for this prize he should be allowed to present a similar amount next year. Thursday— Fixture, Carr Bridge, dogs in slips punctually at 9: 30; commenced with the North Lanca- shire. The running was far from satisfactory, owing to the very high stubble, turnips, and thick grass, attributable in a great degree to the extreme mildness of the season, which impeded very much the running of the hares, and caused a great number of " no- goes," combined with which heavy rain set in, so that altogether it was certainly one of the most disagreeable day's coursing at which we ever assisted. The dinner in the evening was of the most recherchS description, which all, after the fatigue of the day, seemed to enjoy. Then followed the presenta- tion of the testimonial to the secretary, of which you are fur- nished with an account elsewhere. Friday— Met at Moss Hall; the morning delightful— ground freer from stubbs and turnips, consequently we had a most ex- cellent day's sport, trials satisfactory, hares running stout, and sufficiently numerous to enable the card te be run off in good time. Saturday— Met at Bullam Smithy; fine morning. Commenced with the Lytham Stakes, which we had scarcely got through when fog came on and compelled us to wait for upwards of half an hour. The ground was not quite so free from turnips as yes- terday, consequently we had not the long trials of the previous day. The running of Albatross, Blooming Heather, Black Flag, Hestia, and Grisette in the Cup most took our fancy. Mueh in- terest was caused by the meeting of Bloodshot and Protest, for which brace unfortunately, after four no- goes, we could not get a satisfactory trial. The winner of the North Lancashire ran well throughout, going a good pace, and when a little older will be found a formidable customer. In the South Lancashire Jeannie Deans and Biuesky singled themselves out for the finish most brilliantly, which, after their running at Altcar the week previously, proves them to be two first- class greyhounds. The liberal lord of the manor, with his lady and a large party, were on the ground, and seemed anxious that we should have good sport. To him the club is much indebted for the kindness and even personal sacrifices which Mr Clifton makes for the encouragement of their sport. The worthy host and hostess of the Clifton Arms did all, as usual, to make the members com- fortable, in which they again fully succeeded. I must not forget the civility and anxiety to show us sport, of Hargreaves, the keeper, who did all that man could do umder the circumstances. Apologising for this hasty and scrambling account of our doings, I am, yours, & c, An OLD MEHBKB. MB EDITOR : Feeling interested in the running of our Scotch dogs, and having seen how well they stood in at Altcar, I made a run down to Lytham on Thursday to see what sort of figure they would cut there. In consequence of the very bad state of the weather in the latter part of the day, I left that night, but up to this time I found that the Scotch fully sustained their character. Out of 100 greyhounds entered for the first class, 38 were Scotch, and though it is scarcely a fair criterion to take in a meeting where they were unguarded as against each other, and several ran promiscuously, it is all the more extraordinary that out of the 38 there were 30 standing to contest for the second ties. If acceptable, you are welcome to the following notes of the running:— The fixture at Carrbridge in some fine pastures, at half- past nine, commencing with the North Lancashire. Bold Dragoon and Motador: The for- mer raced away with great pace, and won a nice course very meritoriously. Colin beat Gladiator very oleverly. Portsea, in a longish course, very easily disposed of Sensation. Knight of the Shire outpaced Monckton through- out an average trial. Job, on the inside, slightly led, serving Hyder Ali. They exchanged several nice points, the racing ones being won by the latter, and, from my position, he won his course. Swiss Boy and Bold Spirit were slipped on stubble. The former, unsighted for an instant, was led, after a long struggle, on to lea, Bold Spirit obtaining first turn, Swiss Boy, in a rush- ing style, taking next, and a swerve, and Bold Spirit killing ( undecided). Second slip : Bold Spirit again showed the pace after a good race up to the hare, and turned to Swiss Boy, who made next point, Bold Spirit, crossing him on the outside, made a fine kill. Wheedler and Byrecleugh had a close race, but the hare swerving, the former made first turn, and for a time had the course won, but finished badly, and was cleverly beaten. Gadfly slightly led Portland into a wide sluice, into which ! they both fell, and became unsighted. However, the former gained sight and killed singlehanded ( no- go), In their second bk beat Mr Hutchinson's Happy go Lucky , Mr Baiikart's bk d Knt. of Ears .. Mr Gray's w bd b LadyHai bottle..

MB ESITOB : This meeting, under the kind patronage of Lord Vernon, came off on Friday and Saturday week, and we do not expect it will during the current season fall to our lot to record an event more deeply interesting or gratifying to the lovers of the leash throughout Staffordshire and tne adjacent counties. Sudbury ( in conjunction with Doveridge, upon which manor, once equally famous, there is in these degenerate days, sad " winter of our discontent," unhappily, not a hare to be found) was in years not so very long vanished and passed away, the Swaffham of our coursing district, which is both extensive and spirited; and now, although deprived of the aid of its neighbour, bids fair once again to become so. The courses were for the most part good average trials, and sufficient to indicate what beau- tiful running might be expected in tbe spring, the season always selected by the Old Mofph Club for their meetings here, when the present exuberant grass crops shall have beon eaten down to their ordinary level » t that period of tbe year..

The weather was very favourable on both days, with the exception of a slight fog on the second. Hares were plentiful, but if some of the trials had been a little longer it would have given more satisfac- tion. Lord Londesborough, the Marquis of Conyngham, the Hon Mr Denison, Major Thompson, and many other gentlemen, were on the ground on both days, and were much gratified with the sport. Mr Boulton gave satisfaction in his decisions, and upon the whole the meeting passed off very satisfactorily. SPIDDAL CLUB MEETING— Nov li. Stewards : Lord Lurgan, T. Boylan, J. Hopkins, B.

The weather being fine there was a large attendance. Owing to the severity of the previous night the hares were rather wild, but in splendid running order. Lady Ardmore, after winning her course easily, broke her thigh in the very act of killing her game on a fence.— Yours, & c, CEJLLAB HILL. PEDIGREE OP DALTON. MB EDITOB : That a testy person has no more right to pub lish a book than a gouty one to thrust himself amongst a crowd, is the conclusion to which one naturally arrives on the perusal of Mr Welsh's rather wrathsome epistle in your last, over which I could not help laughing very heartily. Let me, however, hasten, by undeceiving him, to smooth his ruffled plumes. In the first place, them, I have to assure him he mistakes my identity utterly in supposing me to be the " Young Courser" to whom he alludes. In the next place, so far from intending any covert attack upon his work, I am and have been a subscriber to it for several years past, admiring it as a specimen of very in- dustrious compilation, and considering it worthy of all encou- ragement from tbe coursing public, notwithstanding that it does come hobbling with halting pace all too tardily before us. And now to the question. The only real reason for my putting my in- quiry as to this psdigree, through your columns, in the way I did, in lieu of applying to the worthy author of Thacker personally, originated purely and simply out of consideration for him. I thought it would be troubling him unnecessarily and unfairly, inasmuch as the proper presumption was that his book would contain all the information that be possessed, but which it would not be difficult for others to supply. As the old gentle- man has, however, professed his readiness to oblige in these matters on all occasions to the best of his ability, I think he can hardly be surprised at my availing myself of his offer to request he will favour us, . pro bono publico, with the lineage of Truelove, without which a sportsman of his experience ought to be aware that Dalten's pedigree is less than half complete for the pur- poses of A GBSYHOUND BBEEDEB. GREYHOUND PRODUCE, & c. Mr Gordon's greyhound bitch Geraldine, by Liddlesdale out of Mr Gordon's Princess, was served by Weapon on the 10th inst. BEDIAMITE.— Mr Jardine's Lady Bird was put to Bedlamite oil the 2d inst. Rimpstone Lass is also on a visit to him, and his complement of twenty bitches is likely soon to be full. At Patterdale, on the SOth ult, Mr Gelderd's red bitch Basheen was served by his dog Glencoin, by Edeu out of Old Eve. The " Owner of Sebastopol" requests us to state that at the late Brougham and Whinfell Meeting Sebastopol ran upon three legs, having injured himself very severely in his course with Flatterer. He " confesses it was cruel to rim him, but the owner of Speed the Plough having refused a very liberal offer to draw Sebastopol, he determined to run him, but how he lost his owner cannot account fori" COURSING IN BEBKSHIBB.— Mr Allen's annual private meet- ing on Hendred Downs, near Didcot, will take place on Tuesday next. The Blewbury Meeting will be held on the following day. DEATH FBOM DRINKING.— On Friday morning week Mr Baker, tbe coroner, went into a long inquiry at the Green Gate Tavern, City- road, St Luke's, respecting the death of John Stew- galls, aged fOrty- six years, a bricklayer, lately residing in Batfi- street, who, it was alleged, had died from poison. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had been leading a life ef constant dissipation, and spent nearly the whole of his wages in drink. On Thursday last the deceased went into the house of a neighbour, where he seemed very ill, and, in answer to a ques- tion, he exclaimed, " It is nearly all over with me." He was taken worse, and proceeded to the surgery of Mr Harris, of the City- road, where his wife procured a cab and conveyed him to the Free Hospital, Gray'slnn road, but the deceased died shortly afterwards from fever. Subsequently rumeurs were circulated that the deceased had been poisoned by his wife. The friends demanded a public inquiry. After a patient investigation it was ascertained that there was no foundation for such a foul rumour, and the result of the post mortem examination made by Messrs Hancorn and Harris, the surgeons, proved that the cause of death arose from long- standing disease. The liver was found to be three times larger than usual, and the deceased had died from natural causes. The first medical man stated that the de- ceased had positively drowned himself with beer. The deceased was a great drinker, and generally imbibed about three gallons of beer daily. The jury returned a verdict of Natural Death accelerated by excessive drinking. FIBS AT AN HOTEL.— About ten minutes past two o'clock on Sunday morning last, a fire was discovered raging in the bed- rooms of the Victoria Hotel, Fleetwood, the property of and occupied by Mr Henry Dodd. Nothing but a mere shell of the hotel is left standing. The servants and the whole household of Mr Dodd narrowly escaped a frightful death, for the flames had acquired an uncontrollable strength before the fire was even discovered. Nothing whatever is Known of its origin. The pre- mises were left apparently safe at ten minutes past one o'clock, and the cause of the disaster is at present a mystery. Immedi- ately on the discovery of the fire, the tenants of the adjoining houses were aroused from sleep, and a great deal of their pro- perty was hastily removed into the street, where it remained until the flames were subdued. Mr Dodd had £ 800 in gold in a drawer of an escritoire upstairs. A portion of this was found fused among the ruins on Sunday morning, in several lumps, by Mr Marriott, in a spot underneath the room where the escri- toire had stood. There were also in the same drawer £ 300 in private bank checks, which of course were destroyed. The damage altogether accruing from this casualty is very consider- able, but the exact amount cannot yet be stated. WHAT NATIONS FOUGHT IOB ABOUT A CBNTFBY AGO.— Seeing such accounts of press- gangs in the papers, and such falling of stocks, you will wonder that, in my last, I did not drop a military syllable. Alas! when I had a civil war all over my own person, you must not wonder, unpatriotic as it was, that I forgot my country. But I ought not to call ignorance forgetful- ness; I did not even know with whom we were going to war; and now that I know with whom, I do not know that we are going to war. England that lives in the north of Europe, and Spain that dwells in the south, are vehemently angry with one another about a morsel of rsckthatlies somewhere at the very bottom of Americar- for modern nations are too neighbourly to quarrel about anything that lies so near them as in the same quarter of the globe. Pray, mind; we dethroned nabobs in the most north- east corner of the Indies ; the Czarina sends a fleet from the Pole to besiege Constantinople; and Spain huffs, and we arm, for one of ihe extremities of the southern hemisphere. It takes a twelvemonth for any one to arrive at our object, and almost another twelvemonth before we can learn what we have been about. Your patriarchs, who lived eight or nine hundred years, could afford to wait eighteen or twenty months for the post coming in, but; it is too ridiculous in our postdeluvian cir- cumstances. By next century, I suppose, we snali fight for the Dog Star and tfie Great Bear,— Letters of Horace Walpok, 4 BELL'S LIFE IN- LONDON, NOVEMBER 15, 1857. AQUATIC BEGXSTER. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

Tfan monthly meeting of this club will be held at the Cale- donian Hotel, Adelphi- terrace, London, on Monday next, the 16th inst, at eight o'clock p. m, precisely. The annual dinner of the club is fixed for Thursday, the 26th of November inst, for Which tickets, £ 1 Is. each, may be obtained at the Club House, of the following gentlemen, who have been appointed stewards, viz:— The Vice- Commodore, the Rear- Commodore, E. S. jBulmer, Esq, A. Crosley, Esq, G. C, Eagle, Esq, F. H. Geach, Esq, J, Clegg, Esq, Capt Heseltine, H. Hoffman, Esq, S. F. Oriel, Esq, G, Osgood, Esq, Capt Robertson, W. Roe, Esq, G. Rhul, Esq, A. Skeen, Esq, R. Tress, Esq. Members wishing to dine at the club dinner, at six o'clock on the evening of the meeting, are to give notice of their intention to Mr Elder, before three o'clock on that day. Each member may introduce one friend.— The fol- lowing gentlemen are proposed for election at the next meeting: Mr Henry Pink, Croom's Hill, Greenwich; Mr F. W. Zurhorst, Dane's Inn, Strand; Mr J. B. Colwell, Royal Marine, 2, Stanley- terrace, Southsea, Hants, Phantom, 20 tons.— The following yachts are for sale:— Gulnare, 14 tons o. m. ; Little Duchess, 22 tons; Peri, 18 tons; Zephryne, 29 tons. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The usual monthly meeting of the Ranelagh Yacht Club was held last Wednesday evening, the 11th instant, at the Club House, Swan Tavern, Battersea Bridge, when the Commodore presided over a numerous body of members. After the ordinary formal business the club proceeded to ballot for new members, and the following gentlemen were declared to be duly elected, viz:— Mr J. S. Goodbody, Mr James Miles, Mr Robert Story, and Mr Thomas Noon Talfourd, of the yacht Black Priuce, 4 tons. A report from the Sailiug Committee was then read, re- commending that the vacant offices of vice- commodore and trea- surer should be filled up. This report having been unanimously received, the Commodore said it afforded him much pleasure to be able to propose for the former office E. S. Bulmer, Esq, of the yacht Little Mosquito, a gentleman whose qualifications were so well known to all yachtsmen, that any praise of his would be quite out of place. Mr Bulmer had expressed his wil- lingness, if elected, to fulfil the various duties required of him, and theCommodore therefore felt he need say no more but simply propose that he be elected vice- commodore of the club. This was seconded by Mr Oriel, and carried by acclamation.— Mr G. W. S. Iago then proposed that William Foy, Esq, be elected treasurer, a gentleman who had for a long time been one of the auditors, and therefore peculiarly qualified for the office, even independent of his other recommendations, which were well known. This was seconded by Mr M. Ward, aud carried nem con. The auditorship, which thus became vacant, was theu filled up by the election of William Lwrance, Esq. The Com- modore then announced that on the evening of the next meeting, Sfth December, a dinner will be provided by Mr Knight for such members as shall give notice at the Club House on the day previous, the 8th. Several gentlemen having been proposed for election, the meeting was adjourned. ROYAL " THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA. We are informed that the committee, notwithstanding the difficulties with which they have had to contend, have resolved to apply themselves with still greater vigour to the furtherance of this undertaking, and with this view have determined to engage at a specified salary a gentleman who shall devote his whole time and attention to the interests of the regatta. The present honorary secretary, Mr Tiobury, as well as the members of the committee, are necessarily prevented by their various en- gagements from bestowing that constant attention to its require- ments which this great national institution demands. They wish therefore to meet with a gentleman of good address and somewhat acquainted with secretarial duties to undertake the situation. A knowledge of aquatic matters is desirable, though of secondary importance to the qualifications named. His duties will principally consist in conducting the correspondence and waiting personally on various City firms aud other likely con- tributors. Should any of our readers be able to assist the com- mittee in the attainment of their wishes, by informing them of a gentleman qualified as above, they are requested to place themselves in communication with Mr Tidbury, 11, Great James- street, Bedford- row. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. FOUR- OAR RACES.— NO more auspicious day could possibly have been wished for than Wednesday, Nov 11th, turned out to be for the commencement of these races. It is not usual towards the middle of the month of November to enjoy an atmosphere dry, calm, and mild, all at once, like that breathed fey the com- petitors in, and spectators of, the first heat of these races. It was well, indeed, that such was the case, for the 2d Trinity and . the Magdalene boat both met with accidents in rowing down to the scene of contest, owing to the unmanageable number of harges with which the river was thronged; consequently the other crews had to kick their heels on the bank at the starting- posts till damages had been so far repaired as to enable the " cripples to go it," and considering that these hospital opera- tions consumed about three quarters of an hour, it is more than probable that, had the weather not been of unusual clemency, the other boats would have started without them, particularly as they are enjoined to do so by the laws of the U. B. C. As it was, however, both spectators and competitors waited patiently till all the boats could come to the scratch, which they did in the following order :— 1. 3d Trinity. 2. Caius. 3. 2d Trinity 1 i. Trinity Hall J 5. 1st Trinity. \ 6. Magdalene, i 7. Lady Margaret. Magdalene and 1st Trinity had, during the last few days of prac- tice, divided the favouritism between them, and the Lady Mar garet also had its backers, but few of them, and those at the odds of 3 or 4 to 1. The first bump was made by Trinity Hall, who crushed the hopes of 2d Trinity at the commencement of First PostCorner, two men in the latter boat catching each a noble shell fish. Shortly afterwards, in theSpout, the two favourites came to loggerheads. After this the interest of the race would have been entirely at an end, had it not been for the determined rowing of the Lady Margaret, who, in the first reach, had made a desperate rush at, and gained upon, Magdalene, but had been thrown out of their rowing completely by the accumulated wash of the other boats which threatened to overwhelm their little bit of cedar; and who now gathered themselves once more together, and started to look for Caius; distance; in this case, not only lent enchantment te the view, but excitement to the chase, which was prolonged to within sixty yards of the winning post, where the pursuers, animated by the iaereasing shouts of the specta- tors, at length " found and made a note of" their prey, snatch- ing it out of the very jaws of safety. 3d Trinity had a good steady row over the course, corairg in nearly 100 yards ahead of Caius. On Thursday the remaining four boats were seen looming djmly through a dense fog at their respective posts, in the sub- joined order :— 1. Magdalene I 3.3d Trinity 1 2. Trinity Hall | 4. Lady Margaret j The Lady Margaret again bringing up the rear, last but not least. 3d Trinity kept away from their pursuers, who were hot and eager after their bump of yesterday, till Ditton; and kept away by rowing as only Eton and Westminster men can row, though the Lady Margaret all the way from First Post Corner had been " nuzzling" about their rudder like a mongoose at a porcu- pine. At Ditton Corner, howeve^, Sd Trinity were overtaken by stern fate. By this time Trinity Hall, who had at first gained a little on the representatives of the Transcamine establishment by dint of desperate exertions, were scarcely an entire distance in front of 3d Trinity; while the back of the Magdalene coxswain had been " creeping" gradually out of sight into the mist of the Long Reach for some distance. ( BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) FRIDAY'S RACE.— The remaining boats started ia the follow- ing order :— 1. Magdalene | 2. Trinity Hall | 3. Lady Margaret There was no bump made. The Johnians gained slightly on Trinity Hall, while Magdalene kept easily away. The COLQUHOUN SCULLS will commence oa Monday, the 23d instant. THE SKIFF RACE ON LOCH LOMOND. We give a few further particulars of this race, which came off on Thursday week, and which has excited more interest amongst the levers of aquatics than, perhaps, any former event of a similar kind. Glasgow has for a number or years past taken the lead in the exhilarating and healthful exercise of boating; and apart altogether from anxiety to obtain a notoriety as first- class pullers, or successful competitors for money prizes, competitions of a character similar to the present one have stirred up the youth of the city to perfect themselves not only in the propelling of boats, but in that invaluable accomplishment, swimming. This latter art, it will be admitted by all, is an accomplish- ment of which every one should be in possession, especially those whose business or amusement is on the waters. William Brown, John Carroll, and Robert Campbell, are mere or less known to the lovers of aquatics. Brown was one of the celebrated " Navvy" crew, who were so eminently successful on the Clyde in years gone by, and beat M'Neil in two skiff matches. Carroll was one of the four- oared crew which rowed for the championship in England several years ago. Carroll is a puller of no mean ability, but after gaining " golden opinions" in this quarter ( for he originally hailed from Manchester), he was beaten during the present year by young Clasper of Newcastle, and again by Campbell of Glasgow. Campbell was one of the cele- brated " Duffy" crew, who were very successful. After being several years in M'Neil's establishment, he entered the lists against Carroll, whom, as we have remarked, he vanquished. Brown was trained by Robert Chalmers, of Newcastle; Carroll, by Harry Clasper, of Newcastle; and Campbell, by John Mackinney, of Richmond. Betting : Even on Brown against the field; even on Carroll; and 6 to ft against Campbell. A special steamer was hired for the occasion, on board of which were the umpires— Messrs Clasper, Chalmers, and M'Neil; and the referee, Captain Brown, of the Queen Victoria, Loch Lomond steamer, and a large concourse of gentlemen interested in the contest. The weather was delightful, and the beautiful loch was perfectly calm. The course was from Auchintilly to Balloch pier. All the preliminaries having been arranged, after two false starts the boats went off in beautiful style— Brown and Carroll, who were on either side of Campbell, taking a alight lead. Near Inch Murran, Campbell improved his speed, and got abreast of his opponents, the boats continuing bow for bow for a short distance. As they reached the point of the island, Campbell put on a most beautiful and determined spurt, and despite the efforts of his opponents he shot ahead, and was a length iu front in less time than we take to note the fact. He continued to improve his distance, and although Brown, who was second, and Carroll, made energetic attempts to regain their lost ground, their efforts were unsuccessful. Carroll, on rounding the above point, pulled somewhat out of his course, and lost ground; but by this time it was evident to all that the race was decided. The men continued to pull with spirit, but Campbell gradually widened his distance between Brown, as did the latter between Carroll, and when the winning- post was reached Campbell was upwards of a hundred yards ahead of Brown, the same distance being between the latter and Carroll. The race was pulled in 23min and 40sec. Thus ended a contest in favour of the Scotchman over opponents of the sister coun- tries, which, as we have already said, has excited more interest in aquatic circles in this quarter than any event of a similar kind. Campbell belongs to Alexandria, a village situated little more than a mile from the scene of the contest, and the enthu- siasm manifested in the district was general. The winning boat was built in the boat- building establishment of Mr J. B. M'Neil, Glasgow. Campbell's money shall be sent to Mr James B. M ' Neil, as directed, on Tuesday. Brown must forward his address.

We hope to toe able to give the cricket averages of 1857, in our paper of Sunday, Dec 6th, though from the immense mass of names and figures to be carefully examined, it is almost impoS' sible to give an unconditional promise. CRICKETING CONTRIBUTION TO THE INDIAN RELIEF FUND. It has been suggested to us that we need only make an appeal to the Cricketers of England on behalf of this fund in order that this profession may be classed among others as relievers in a body of the sufferers in the East. We would first more par- ticularly appeal to the professionals themselves, and, if they come forward with their mite, we feel assured the noble game will be well represented by its numerous lovers and supporters throughout the country. Although, perhaps, it is not the season exactly when cricketers may be expected to bestir them selves, and, although prevented from assisting by any great public exhibition of their skill, yet their subscription, as a body, will not be without effect in raising our sports in the estimation of the world, and will, indeed, be grateful to many who have wielded the willow formerly in England, and are now by the great calamity, with their families, reduced almost to the ex> tremes of want. Among the professionals who have promised their ten shillings are G. Parr, H. Stephenson, G. Anderson, Wisden, Caffyn, Johu Lillywhite, Lockyer, E. Willsher, Dean, Julius Csesar, Royston. We will, however, if this appeal be met, give a full list in due time, and we shall be happy to receive subscriptions, which may also be left with Mr Lilly- white, 2, New Coventry- street, Leicester- square, London. THE SECOND ANNUAL DINNER of the Crosby Hall Club was held at the Bridge House Hotel, on Friday, Nov 6, Mr R. P. Jebb, the hon sec, occupying the chair, and Mr W. Butler the vice. The usual loyal toasts of " Her Majesty," " The Prince Consort and Royal Family," and the " Army aud Navy," were duly disposed of. Toasts were also drunk " To the success of Cricket in general, and the Crosby Hall Club in particular, and to Crosby Hall," coupling with it the name of the hon sec, the Rev C. Mackenzie, A. M., who had shown him- self so interested in the success of the club. Especial votes of thanks were passed to the hon sec, Mr Jebb, to Mr H. Hutchin son, the treasurer, and to the committee for their valuable ser vices during the past year. The secretary in his report stated, that the club havingduring the past season played elevenmatches, five of which they won, five lost, and the remaining one drawn, the result of the matches being quite even, the only means left of ascertaining whether the Crosby Hall or their op- ponents had the superiority, was to refer to the total soore made by each, by which it appeared that the former had oarried off the laurels by 178 runs. SUSSEX MATCHES FOR 1858.— The following matches have been fixed, and will be played on the days named:— June 30, aud July 1, at Brighton, Gentlemen of Sussex v Gentlemen of Hants; Jnly 3 and 4, at Canterbury, Gentlemen of Kent v Gentlemen of Hants; August 4 and 5, at Southampton ( return), Gentlemen of Hants v Gentlemen of Kent; August 8 and 9, Gentlemen of Hants v Gentlemen of Sussex.

Mr Camidge first, won easy, the others being out of the boundary.— ponkey Race: Four started. Won by Mr Camidge very easy. Two of the riders were unseated. FOOT RACES AT MARLBOROUGH. These races came off on Friaay and Saturday, the 30th and 31st ult, considerably later than usual, in consequence of the length- ened duration of cricket on account of the fine weather. Al- though the few preceding days were wet and dreary, yet we were favoured with sunshine and dry weather fully in keeping with the success of the meeting. Great praise is due to F. G. Blackburne for his perseverance and for the efficient manner in which everything was arranged, and, for their running, to Messrs Ensor and Thursfield in the long race, and Pigott, Westby, Wickham, and Blackburne, for the short ones. Mr Mason shone forth pre- eminent in both:— First day: Hurdle Race of 300yards: J. Mason 1, T. D. Pigott2, E. F. Wayne3— Handicap of half a mile: E. H. Ensor, 21 yards start, 1; W. N. Thursfield, 30,2; W. H. M. Duthie, 45, 3. Time 2min 16sec. A very fine race; Thursfield was a good second.— High Jump: C. H. Bonney 1, J. Mason 2, D. C. Wickham 3. Height 4ft 9iin.— Flat Race of 150 yards; heats; J. Mason ( both heats), 5 yards start, 1; D. C. Wickham 2, T. D. Pigott 3.

H. Bnsor 20, 2; W. N. Thursfeld 3. Run in 4min 45sec. This was the grand race of the day, and was certainly one of the best contested. Mr Mason, who paid 40 yards penalty for his previous achievements, ran splendidly throughout, and just suc- ceeded in beating Messrs Ensor and Thursfield, who showed most determined gameness, in this as iu several other races.— Flat Race of 150 yards, for Championship of a house: A.

Thursfield doad heat. Run in 43sec.— Consolation Stakes ( flat) of200 yards: W. N. Thursfield 1, R. B. Reade 2, H. Partridge 3. Run in 20sec. This was also a fine race.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS ASTON CROSS, BIRMINGHAM.— The grounds here, on Monday last, again presented an appearance of by- gone days, by the largo attendance of lovers of pedestrianism, who were present to witness the six score yards match, for £ 10 a side, between D. Hartley and J. Hughes ( both of Birmingham), the latter having ran several previous matches with credit; Hartley is almost a novice. The men had carefully trained for the event, and came to scratch in flue condition. They were well matched as to age, size, and weight. The men got to scratch, and betting commenced briskly, the odds being 5 to 4 on Hartley, at which price a good deal of money was laid out. After a number of at- tempts, the men got off at a rat tling pace, running nearly neck and neck for four score yards, when Hartley got a slight lead for a few yards, Hughes again blasting him ; in this way they ran in a dead heat. A noisy discussion ensued, each party claiming a victory, but the refers ( our correspondent) abided by his decision given, and ordered the men to run again iu twenty minutes. At the time appointed the men were again on the scratch ( half- past four o'clock), and darkness coming on, there was a great deal of contention between parties, the ropes were cut, and a row got up, it is said toy a party who had no great desire for the match to be finished. At last the ground was cleared, and a few minutes before fire the men got away, with a pretty level start, and running so up to two soore yards, when Hughes got the lead, and at four score was full a yard and a half ahead ( both men running at the top of their speed), when he ( Hughes) was stopped, and completely turned round, and it is said received a blow on the side of the head. Hartley ran the distance, and his party claimed the stakes; so did Hughes's backers, on the ground that he was running in a winner, but was stopped by some one of Hartley's party. The referee was surrounded, and a decision for one party, then the other, tried to be drawn from him. After hearing both sides, he came to the conclusion that as no one could prove it was Hartley's friends who had stopped Hughes— the party who did it said it was ac- cidental— that the men should run it off the next day ( Tuesday), which, after a short time, the backers of the men agreed to, the same referee to be appointed. On Tuesday, at two o'clock, the men were on the ground. The betting turned on Hughes, and 2 to 1 was offered and taken, a pretty good muster being present, who were anxious to see the end of such an untoward affair. After being twenty minutes at scratch, and no start, the men got away by first pull of handkerchief with a lerel start, and run- ning so up to within a few yards of home, where Hartley made a vigorous effort, and landed himself a winner by half a yard, ac- cording to the decision of the referee ( Mr Tailby, the stakeholder, in place of our correspondent, who was not able to be there). Hartley has received the stakes. HILL AND CAUSER.— These well- known men met at the Plough, at Minworth, eight miles from Birmingham, on Mon- day, to run their quarter of a mile match, for £ 10 a side. The ground chosen was well roped and staked, and a large company was present, not only from Birmingham but from the districts around. Both men came to scratoh in capital condition. Bet- ting commenced at evens, and left off at 5 te 4 on Causer. At a quarter te two o'clock the men toed the scratch, and after twenty minutes they got away, and ran level up to two score yards ; Causer then took the lead, gradually increased the distance between them, and ran in an easy winner by 12 yards, Hill after three score yards not having a shadow of a chance. S. Coates has paid orer the stakes to Causer. YOUNG WHEELER AND CAUSBR.— S. Coates, the stakeholder, has received the whole of the money for the eight score yards match, for £ 15 a side, between these well- known men, which comes off to- morrow ( Monday), » t the Plough at Minworth ; to be at scratch between twelve and two o'clock, to start by mutual consent; if no start in twenty minutes, then to go by first pull of handkerchief. A clipping race is anticipated ; both men are reported to be in first- rate condition. YOUNG BALLS AND YOUNG PIJILEY.— OnWednesday upwards of 200 of the elite of the sporting fraternity of Birmingham met bringing down two of his bird! in first- rate style, his opponent only killing one. The ground was theu cleared for the event' of the day, the GREAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP RACE.— This was a handi- cap race of once rouud the ground or 506 yards, for money prizes amounting to £ 14, given to be run for by Mr James Phoenix, mine host of the Hospital Tavern, near Hyde Park. The conditions were, that all who entered should pay Is each, with an additional Is 6d to accept. The prizes were divided as follows:—£ 10 for the first man, £ 3 for the second, and £ 1 for the third. The men were divided into six lots, which were de- cided as . under:— Lot 1: R. W. Taylor 73 yards start, 1; M. Hill ( Kirkheaton) 5&, 2. Six rah. Taylor won just as he liked by half a score yards, Hill a bad second; the others gave up at the tent, about 100 yards from the finish.— Lot 2: G. Dukenfield 62 yards start, 1. Three others contested for this heat. Duken- field won in a common canter by 15 yards ; the others did not pass the post.— Lot 3: W. Brasbmall 74 yards start, 1; H. Hunt ( Doucaster) 35, 2; H. Wharton 64,3. Five ran. Brammall won easily by 10 yards; Hunt beat; Wharton cleverly by half a yard for second place,— Lot 4; Jonathan Skejten 53 yards startj 1; Jerry Gaunt ( Skegtoy) 48, 2: Woodward ( Doucaster) 62, 3. Skeltoa won a most exciting riace by half a yard only; Gaunt beat Woodward for second plaice by half a score yards.— Lot 5 : Joseph Oldfield ( Intake) 64 yards start, 1; W. Myers 66, 2. Six ran. H. Eyre ( Worksop) 45 yirds start, obtained second place after running 400 yards, aud got close to the leading man, Old- field, with the race iu hand, when to the surprise of the spec- tators, he ran on the green and cut it. We hope that in future the handicapper will keep his eye on this worthy. Lot 6: Joseph Green 74 yards start, 1. Four ran. Green made the running, and won by 30 yards; the others were beaten a long way from the finish. TUESDAY.— The weather jo- day was very cold and gloomy, notwithstanding which there was again a pretty tidy muster of spectators present to witness; the pigeon shooting sweepstakes and the deciding heat for the handicap. The sport com- menced with A SWEEPSTAKES of 10s each, at 4 birds each, single guns standing 21 yards rise, with l| bz of shot •, double guns standing 19 yards, with Hoz of shot.

Messrs Froggatt and Beckers killed all their birds in excellent style, and divided the money, £ 5. The course was now cleared for the DECIDING HEAT EOR THE HANDICAP RACE.— Shortly after half- past four o'clock the six successful competitors on Monday came to their respective marks te run off fer the prises, which were awarded as follows:— Joseph Green, 71 yards start, 1, £ 10 ; Jonathan Skelton, 58, 2, £ 3; R. W. Taylor, 73, 3, £ 1. Joseph Oldiield, 64 yards start, George Duckenfield, 62, and William Brammall, 74, also started, ' out were not placed. Green won a good race by a couple of yards.

SATURDAY, Nov 7.— The appearance which these grounds presented this afternoon was strikingly indicative of the palmy days of pedestrianism, as, though there was only one event fixed for decision, such was the interest attached to it that, for a long time previous to the hour fixed for the race, the roads to the course, and especially the entrances to the arena, exhibited a scene which, now- a- days, is rarely witnessed. The visitors from the country were especially numerous, arriving in vehicles of all sizes, shapes, and descriptions— several of which must hare been constructed before springs were thought of, and certainly when comfort in travelling was not a consideration. The fineness of the day lent an additional eclat to the proceedings, and probably upwards of 3,000 persons were present to witness the race between SMITH AND SANDERSON.— Job Smith of Manchester and James Sanderson ( alias Treacle) of Whitworth, near Rochdale, hare respectively furnished abundant evidence that they are not tyros in their adopted profession ; and their previous successes in coping in long distances had gained for each a host of ad- mirers. They entered the course this afternoon to contest the distance of two miles, for £ 25 a side, and a very large sum was invested on the result. The betting, which fluctuated consider- ably, opened at 45 to 40 on Smith, and in many instances 7 to 4, 2 to 1, and a point more, was laid on him. The Rochdale divi- sion— who were very sweet on their man— freely accepted these tempting odds, and the event was then looked forward to by many of the speculators almost with feverish anxiety. Mr Thos Hayes having taken his position as referee, the men disrobed, both appearing in excellent tiff, Sanderson showing his usually slim and wiry form. They went away on^ even terms, but before they had run thirty yards Sanderson went to the front, and, on the completion of the first lap, he held a lead of nearly two yards. This advantage he continued to increase, and no change in their positions afterwards took place throughout. At the end of the fifth lap ( there being six to the two miles), Smith was about 40 yards behind, and evidently in difficulty, whilst Sanderson kept on at a good pace, loudly cheered by the crowd. In the final round Smith gave up, when about 90 yards from home, quite exhausted, and Sandersonran in at his leisure, having accomplished the distance in 9min 46sec. On the race being finished, the joy of many of the Whitworthites and the Rochdaleites was loudly expressed ( they being consider- able winners), and the steady, uniform, and persevering efforts of Sanderson deservedly received their encomiums. The arrange- ments were of the usual excellent character, and subsequently Mr Hayes presented Smith and Sanderson with their respective shares of the gate money, which amounted to £ 23 each. MONDAY.— The attendance to- day was exceedingly limited, and the following was the only event decided :— WORTHINGTON AND BARLOW.— This was a race of 200 yards for £ 5 a side, between Jas. Worthington of Redditch- green and Thos. Barlow of Stockport. Little batting took place, aad Wor- thington won easily by five yards. NEWTON AND HALLIWELL.— Jas.

GREAT MATCH BETWEEN HOSSPOOL AND SEVILLE.— A match has been agreed upon between Thos.

The first deposit of £ 1 each has been paid to Mr Holden ( who is also to be referee). This sum is to be increased to £ 5 a side on the 23d inst; to be made into £ 15 each on the 2d of December ; into £ 25 each on the 9th ; into £ 35 each on the 16th, and into £ 45 each oa the 23d of that month.

Mr Holden is stakeholder ( and is also to be referee), and he has received the first deposit of 10s each. DOINGS AT THE SALFORD BOROUGH GARDENS SATURDAY, Nov 7.— BROWN AND HANCOCK.— W. Brown of Stone and J. Hancock of Longport, Staffordshire, met here this afternoon, to run 140 yards, for £ 15 aside. Owing to Smith and Sanderson's contest at the Copenhagen Grounds being also fixed for to- day, the attendance at the Salford Borough Gardens was exceedingly small, and hence the betting was dull. Another drawback was, that the pedestrians were not accompanied by so many of their friends from the Pottery dis- trict as on the former occasions when they have respectively ran upon the same course. The odds on their contest of to- day was 3 to 1 on Brown, with yery few takers, and Mr J, Hoiden, juu, was appointed referee. On starting Hancock took a slight load, was never headed, and won by two yards. MONDAY.— The atmosphere this afternoon bore a November aspect, and on our arrival we found Regent- road, Salford, in which the Borough Grounds are situated, crowded by a dense mass of people, and cabs, omnibuses, & c, ranged along its sides for a considerable distance ; iu short, we do not remember to have seen a larger number of persons assembled around this course than were present to witness the race between DARLEY AND HANCOCK.— Our pedestrian readers may remem- ber that when the articles were originally drawn up for this event, dated on the 21st of September last, they stated that W. Pearson of Eccles, J. Hancock of Salford, and G. Darley of the same borough agreed to run 150 yards, for £ 25 each, the champion's belt ( which had been won by Darley on that day), value 50 guineas, and the. three shares of the gate money, the win- ner to take all. The first deposit of £ 1 each was paid to Mr Hol- den, who was appointed stakeholder and referee on the articles being duly signed, but when the second became due, on the sue- ceeding Monday, Pearson forfeited, and thus the important event was reduced to a match between Darley and Hancock. When the belt was first run for, the distance was the same ( 150 yards) as in the contest under notice, and there were then only five competitors, viz:— Pearson of Eccles, Colliuge of Jumbo, J. Forster of Dewsbury, Darley of Salford, and J. Hancock of the same place. In the race for this prize the men ran in two lots, the first of which was won by Pearson by a yard and a half, and iu the second Darley defeated Hancock by three quarters of a yard. The deciding heat, which produced a bril- liant race between Pearson and " Darley, resulted in favour of the latter by a foot only. No wonder, then, when two such " cracks" as Hancock and Darley were pitted against each other, that a slashing race should be expected this afternoon. The betting was exceedingly brisk, Hancock being decidedly the favourite, a considerable sum being laid out at 7 to 4 on him, though those odds would have been taken at start. At a quarter to four o'clock the competitors came to the scratch, Mr Holden, as referee, being prepared to do dut^ at the deciding tape. After a few minutes' delay they went away, Darley snatching a very trifling advantage at start, but when they had run forty yards Hancock got just ahead of him. They ran in this order until arriving opposite the stand ( about 25 yards from home), where Darley, whose head appeared to possess almost as quick a move- ment as his feet, went past Hancock like a shot, and Mr Holden declared him the winner by a yard and a half. This, Darley's second victory orer Hancock for the belt, elicited loud applause from the takers of the odds. We may state that both appeared in excellent condition, the winner having been trained by John Longworth of Pendleton at Mrs Appleton's, Newton Common, and Hancock had been prepared by the weli- known Johnny Farmer. It is but justice to Mr Attenbury to add that the course and the approaches to the ground were well kept, con- sidering the large assemblage present.

ANDREWS AND CUMMINGS.— The only match of any interest in the pedestrian world that came off during the past week, in the neighbourhsod of the metropolis, was that which took place last Monday at Garratt- lane, Wandsworth ; the contending par- ties were Henry Andrews and Thomas Cummings, pedestrians by no means unknown to fame. The distance to be run was six miles, for the sum of £ 20 a side. Cummings, we may hore ob- serve, has been before the public as a pedestrian since he was a mere youth, and has oontended in no less than 36 matches with varied success, but by far the greater number of them termi- nated in his favour. He is a native of Liverpool, but has for some years past been following his vocation, that of a coach- maker, in London; he is 26 years of age. Not to go further back than 1847, we find Tom contending in a 10 mile race with Ned White, for £ 10 a side, by whom he nad the mortifioation to be defeated after a severe struggle. His next matoh of interest was with Harry Haggin, distance one mile, whom he vanquished. After this spin we have his important half- mile spin with John Trainer of Liverpool, the same man who has to contend on Mon- day ( to- morrow) with James Pudney of Mile End in the great race of two miles, for £ 50 a side, at Garratt- lane, Wandsworth. He some short time since run a match with Henry Leggs, on which oocasion he proved an easy winner. The partisans of both men were confident of success, and this led to spirited betting, Cum- mings being the favourite, his friends freely laying the odds of 6 to 4. On the umpires and referee being appointed, the com- petitors came to the scratch, when it was at once seen that they were in excellent condition, though if anything Andrews had been drawn a little too fine. The result of the match is soon told, for a more one- sided affair has seldom been witnessed. From the moment of starting the lead was taken by Cummings, who at every succeeding lap kept widening the gap between himself and his opponent, and thus the race progressed until the finish of the sixteenth lap, when Andrews, who was now more than three hundred yards in the rear, finding he had no chance of winning, pulled up and resigned the contest, therefore Cummings was left to run the remainder of the distance by him- self, which he did at an undiminished pace, accomplishing the six miles in 32min lOsec, running all the while quite within him- self.— The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office at twelve o'clock next Thursday. AN EXCITING RACE took place on Saturday, the 7th inst, in a meadow, near CotonHill, Shrewsbury, between Mr John Newns, aged 70, and John Simmons, aged 65, the former a publican and the latter a retired ditto, distance 100 yards, for £ 10 a side, in presence of a great concourse of people. The start took place about| four o'clock, and a very severe and well- contested race was won by Mr Simmons by about a foot. Mr Newns, being the older and heavier man, was allowed 10 yards at the start. The money will be given up at the Woodman Inn, Coton Hill, Shrewsbury, on Saturday, the 14th inst. Mr John Simmons is ready to run any man in the world his own age, for from £ 5 to £ 10, 100 yards. He is always to be heard of at the Woodman Inn, Shrewsbury. LEWIS AND WARREN.— The spin of 120 yards, for £ 15 a side, between these men, came off on Tuesday last, at the Waterfal Gardens, Endon. Mr Joseph Chew officiated as referee. Bothl appeared in excellent condition ; the betting was, however, in favour of Warren, at 5 and 6 to 4. After a few attempts on either side they got well away together, but Warren soon showed in front, and ran in a winner by full three yards. The stakes shall be sent as directed next Tuesday JACKSON AND HALL.— The match between these men did not come off on Monday last, owing to the interference of the police. Jackson is willing to increase the stakes to £ 10 a side, or as much more as Hall pleases, and run him 10 miles in an enclosed ground near London. Jackson will meet him to- morrow ( Mon- day) night, between eight and ten, at Mr Barlow's, the Carpen- ters' Arms, Walworth Common. LAWRENCE AND KEENE.— A race of 100 yards took place on Thursday last, at Holmwpod, on the Reading road, between John Lawreure of Sbiplake aad George Keeue of Xkorpe, the former receiving 10 yards start, for £ 5 a side, After a well- con-' " tested race Lawrence was declared the winner by one yard.

In reference to Mike Madden's affairs connected with his late match with Mace, we have received the following :— MR EDITOR : As I cannot como to any satisfactory arrange- ment with Mr Lock wood, I forward my statement to you, hoping that he will do the same, and furnish his account against me, as I believe the money he holds when handed over, will satisfy all claims that there may be outstanding. I received no part of the boat money, nor was I allowed a single ticket for any of my friends. I attended, at Alec Keene's on Monday last; Mr Lockwood had just gone, and Mr Keene sent for him, but he refused to come back. The following are the sums I have paid out of the £ 100 I received from you :— Expenses. Mr Burns ( training quai ters) £ 11 0 0 Alec Keene. 10 0 0 Dan Dismore 10 0 0 Mr Roberts 5 0 0 Mr Hart 2 10 0 Mr Short 2 10 0 Mr Featherstene 7 10 0 Myself 2 10 0 The landlord of the Ship, in Denzell- street,") . « A Clare Market j 1 u 0 Manchester friend 5 0 0 Casual expenses. 2 10 0 Mr Beaverley, Coopers' Arms, West- street, "> „ m a Smithfield 51110 0 Yet to be paid : MrCusack Jemmy Welsh Mr Miiburn Bill Hayes Fred Oliver, for half expenses of the ring ... Charley Jenkinson, my trainer, sot yet paid. £ 63 0 0 £ 2 0 2 0 2 10 2 0 1 10 0 0 M £ 10 0 0 Since we received the above from Madden we have seen Mr Featherstone, his chief backer, who denies having received more that £ 4 from him. We also learn that Madden did not reach Alec Keene's until a very late hour, and then he was unprovided with cash, and said he would settle the next day. We have also received the following from Mr Lockwood. The public have now the whole case before them, and we must leave them to form their own opinions. We cannot admit any further letters on this subject. MR EDITOR : Having read in your last number that Madden had returned the money to those gentlemen who backed him in his match with Mace of Norwich, I hope you will allow me to contradict that statement. I have been applied to by several persons who stood money with him; to these people my answers were unsatisfactory, for the simple reason that I had not seen Madden from the time he obtained the " order" for the money; and after waiting nearly three hours in his presence, to my sur- prise, he had slunk away while my back was turned for a mo- ment. I think most persons who know me will not credit the slanders he has perpetrated respecting the amount of money received by me for his match. The statement I left with you for feneral inspection of parties interested ; and also a copy left with lee Keene will, I hope, refute the imputation of this brave man in the Ring, but a coward out of it, knowing that I am a weak man. Hoping you will excuse my almost unnecessarily troubling you, yours respectfully, H. LOCKWOOD. THE LATE FIGHT BETWEEN BICK AND DAVIS.— AS we stated last week, these men met at Andoverford, near Chelten- ham, on Tuesday, the 3d Nov, when they fought 24 rounds in 2h 15min. Davis gained first blood, but Bick the knock- down blow. In the latter part of the fight, the police put in an appear- ance. A move was made. The referee made an appointment for the men to meet on the Saturday following to fight it out. Davis's trainer and seconds, we are informed, came to Gloucester on the Wednesday, to Bick's friends, to know if they would make draw, but Bick refused, stating his determination of fighting it out on the Saturday, according to the decision of the referee. On the Thursday, Davis himself came over; Bick, however, would not agree to any terms but fight it out. On the road home it appears that Davis was apprehended by the police, aad taken before the magistrates at Cheltenham, who appeared averse to binding him over, but one of his friends who was with him informed the magistrates that he was present at the fight, and heard the referee order the men to meet on the following Saturday to fight it out; on that evidence the magistrates bound him over. It seems probable from this, that Davis or his friends procured the arrest in order to avoid fighting, and under these circumstances Bick's friends consider they are en- titled to the money. If tangible proof of this can be fur- nished to our Birmingham reporter, we shall award the money to Bick. BEN CAUNT AND NAT LANGHAM.— We are glad to state that these men met at our office on Friday last, and agreed to draw their money, shake hands, and be friends again from henceforth. They are to take a joint benefit together shortly, when the cere- mony of handing over the money is to take place. Ben Caunt faced Alec Keene at Nat Langham's sing- song on Friday even- ing, and will again preside at the same house next Friday. Nat will, of course, reciprocate the compliment at the Coach aad Horses, and both men will be present at Jemmy Welsh's open- ing dinner next Thursday, for particulars of which we must refer to Jemmy's advertisement. This is as it should be, and we are certain the announcement will be hailed with satisfaction by the friends of both men. Jem Mace informs us that his friends, taking into considera- tion the heavy expenses incurred in his training, have agreed to pay him for his colours. SMITH AND SINGLETON ( ALIAS RADDLER) OF MANCHESTER — The match between these men is progressing. £ 3 a side was duly staked on Monday last; the next deposit is to be made to- morrow ( Monday), at Mr Ingham's, Dog and Rat, Queen- street, Deansgate. The match excites great interest iu Manchester, and the men are to fight catch weight, on Dec 1, for £ 10 a side. BRETTLE AND TRAVERS.— We did not receive the deposit for this match, made at Jemmy Massey's last week, until too late for announcement. All deposits should reach us before five o'clock on Friday at the latest. The next deposit of £ 10 a side is to be made at Harry Orme's, Jane Shore, Shoreditch, on Wednesday next. CURRY AND SIMMS.— We have received £ 1 a side from George Curry and John Simms, who are matched to fight for £ 10 a side, in the Newcastle district, OH the 8th of December. The next deposit of £ 1 a side must be forwarded next week. ROBINSON AND INGRAM.— These lads are to make another de- fosit of £ 2 10s a side on Friday, at our office. We have received ngram's deposit. MILLARD AND CRUTCHLEY.— The next deposit of £ 10 a side for this affair is to be made at the Spider's^ Old King John, Holywell- lane, on Tuesday next. We last week received, through the Spider, a challenge pur- porting to come from one Mitchell of Walthamstow to fight some other person., The challenge, it now turns out, was sent to the Spider to bring to us far the purpose, if possible, of in- juring a highly respectable tradesmau. Mr Mitchell is a re spectable butcher in Walthamstow, and has nothing to do with the fistic world. The Spider has evidently been made the tool of some designing scoundrel, who knew that unless the chal- ienge came through some authentic source it would not be in- serted. We shall be obliged by his informing us next week who the fellow is, that we may expose him. A.

RUGBY SCHOOL.— At a meeting of the trustees of Rugby " School, on Thursday, at Rugby, the Rev Frederick Temple, late Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and Principal of KuellarBall, was elected Head Master of Rugby School. Mr Temple gained first classes in classics and mathematics in 1842, and is the third Balliol scholar iu fcuccession that has been appointed to this important station, his two predecessors being the present Bishop of London and Dr Goulburn, afterwards Fellow and Tutor of Merton College. Mr Temple received high testimonials from the Bishop of London, the Deans of Hereford and Wells, the Masters- of Balliol and Pembroke Colleges; the Rev O. Gordon, Tutor aud Censor of Christ Church; the Rsv Dr Yaughau, Head Master of Harrow; the Rev J. P. Norris, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge; the Rev Canon Stanley, Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History; and several of the most distinguished Rugbeians at Oxford. LIABILITY OF OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS.— At the Manchester County Court, on Tuesday, an action was brought by William Marshall, a working man, against the City Omnibus Company, to recover £ 3 9s 9d as damages which he had sustained by falling from one of their omnibuses. On the 27th of August the plaintiff was goiug to Levenshulme. He rode by one of the defendants' omnibuses from Market- street to Longsight, where the passengers were transferred to another belonging to the same company. For this purpose the two vehicles were drawn up abreast. Some of the passengers stepped across from one to the other ; but the plaintiff, having a coil of rope, threw it down on the ground, and descended by the steps. At the time the guard and driver of the omnibus which had come from Market- street were quarrelling in front of the vehicle, and the guard of the second omnibus, which was to take the passengers on to Levenshulme and Stockport, was standing near them. The plaintiff having ascended the second omnibus, he threw the rope upon the roof and was about to sit down, when the driver sud- denly started, and he fell from the top to the ground, injuring his legs and face. In consequence of the accident he was con- fined to his house for some days, aud the surgeon's bill amounted to £ 1 2s 6d. Several witnesses called by the plaintiff stated that when the omnibus started the guard was not at his post, and no bell was sounded to warn the passengers that it was about to move. Mr F. Robinson, attorney, contended, on behalf of the defendants, that the accident had resulted from the plaintiff's own Carelessness, there having been plenty of time for him to sit down before the vehicle started. The first witness who was called for the defendants said there was ample time for the plaintiff to have been seated ; and the guard, who was next examined, asserted that the accident occured before the omnibus started. The judge said this latter statement had been contradicted by the evidence of five witnesses called by the plaintiff; and he therefore gave judgment for the amount claimed. It was the duty of the guard to give notice to the pas- sengers, by ringing the bell or otherwise, that the omnibus was about to start. AUTHENTIC INTELLIGENCE OP THB ESCAPE OP JOHN JAMES MOORE.— It is now certain that Moore, the perpetrator of the freat tea robbery, has escaped. He sailed in the Asia from liverpool, and we have received intelligence of the manner in which he eluded arrest in New York. A gentleman who was a fellow- pass8nger by the Asia, Ogives the following account of what took place :— As soon as it was ascertained at Liverpool that Moore had succeeded in getting on board the Asia, a telegraphic despatch announcing the circumstance was sent to Southamp- ton, from which port the steamer Yanderbilt sailed for New York at about eight o'clock the same evening. The Yanderbilt is a very fast boat, and, making a rapid passage, got into New York 24 hours before the Asia. The police officers were at once put on the qui vive, and they awaited the Asia's arrival, certain of arresting the delinquent. The law not permitting them to go on board the steamer, they placed themselves at the gangway to take Moore into custody as he came ashore ; but the tea genius was too many for them. Aided by some of the crew, who were a little in his secret, he got ashore by the ship's bowsprit, and once away he was not readily discovered. His whereabouts was still a secret when our informant left America. Moore, having gone a second- class passenger, had the better opportunity during the voyage, by money and otherwise, of ingratiating himself with the sailors, and hence probably their useful aid at the critical moment.— Belfast News Letter. THE SUPPOSED MURDER AND MUTILATION IN FRANCE.— The Moniteur du Loiret gives the following details of the dis- covery of a human body, at the railway station at Choisy- le- Roy, which we have briefly mentioned :—" The cask containing the body was found about two months back standing among packages which had come by a goods train from Paris but was not in- serted in the way- bill. As it was however directed to a person at Choisy, it was on the following day sent by one of the porters, as directed, but it was brought back again by him, in conse- quence of no such name being" known in the place, and it was then stored away iu the warehouse. There it lay for several weeks, and as no one came to claim it the station- master, having his suspicions aroused perhaps by the accounts which he had read in the papers about the Waterloo Bridge tragedy, resolved to open the cask and ascertain its contents. After knocking in one of the heads, an envelope of oil cloth was seen, and on this being removed tho next thing that came to view was a quantity of hay.. Into this he plunged his hand, but withdrew it again in horror, from its coming in contact with something like flesh, and of death- like coldness. On the hay being removed, the half putrified body of a female was discovered. The after examina- tion testified to a dreadful? atrocity in the commission of the crime. The head had been cut off, and was wanting. The legs had been bent up towards the sides so as to make the body fit into the cask, and, in order to shorten them, the feet had been also removed. In order to lessen the emanations which would naturally proceed from the body, the entrails had been taken out through two oriliees, one on either side of the abdomen, and in order as it were to reduce the size, the hands were forced into the orifices on either side, as if iuto pockets. As the station is close to the river, it is supposed that the cask must have been brought in tho night aud placed where it was found, so that a supposition might be entertained that the crime had been com- mitted at Paris. The fact of no emanations proceeding from the cask is explained by the maimer in which the body was enve- loped in a thick layer of hay, and afterwards covered over with the oilcloth."

QUARRY ACCIDENT, SIX LIVES LOST.— A frightful accident, resulting in the death of six persons and serious injury to two others, occurred on Friday week, at the quarries of Cloddfa'r Son, iu the Yale of Nantlle, about nine miies from Carnarvon. A temporary cessation of work had taken place, owing to an acci- dent to the piston rod of the engine, and the quarrymen, about fourteen in number, had congregated together at the bottom of the deep hollow to pass the time in conversation. They had not been long there when they heard the well- known and dreaded cry of " Beware!" upon which they instantly ran to the cabin constructed for the safety of those at work when danger is expected. Unhappily this proved the worst spot they could have chosen. A huge rock, about 30 tons in weight, fell in one mass from a height of CO yards, aud, striking against the ledges of the stone in its descent, broke into a thousand pieces, which bounded with tremendous force io the ground, killing three of the men on the spot, and mortally injuring three others. One of the latter died almost immediately, another while being carried home, and the third in about eight hours after the catas- trophe. The names of the deceased are William Roberts, John Parry, Hugh Prichard, Joseph Williams, and two men named Jenes. The bodies presented an awful spectacle, being fearfully crushed and lacerated. William Rol> erts, under the impression that the rock above his head was falling, rushed headlong into the danger, trying to drag with him another man, who only escaped by leaving part of his waistcoat in his hands. The in- jured men, though severely hurt, are progressing favourably. The accident is supposed to have arisen from the adhesiveness of the reek being affected by the lodgment of water in a level joint, which runs to an angular point at the bottom, thus making the msss top- heavy. The rock had been minutely ex- amined only the day before. FATAL ACCIDENT.— We have to record an accident that oc curred on Thursday week to Mr David Stuart Dykes, of Dept- ford, and Grove- hill, Surrey, which terminated fatally. Mr Dykes was driving in a phaeton a horse that he had on trial, when near Austin- friars the animal started off. Mr Dykes, fully retaining his self- possession, adroitly managed his horse so as to escape contact with several vehicles coming towards him, but unhappily the horse, desperately swerving at the corner of Winchester- street, dashed the carriage against the post with tremendous force, and poor Mr Dikes was thrown out en the stones on his head. The unfortunate gentleman was taken into the South Australian Bank, and immediately attended by Mr Chance, of Old Broad- street, and subsequently removed to his residence at Camberwell. He partially retained consciousness until the evening, when he became insensible, and continued so until his death, which took place at half- past eight on Sunday evening. -< AW INTELLIGENCE. CURIOUS CASE.— In the Queen's Bench", on Friday week, an appeal was heard from the decision of the Bolton County Court, in the case of Silvester v Hampson. The plaintiff is a captain in one of the Lancashire regiments of militia, and the defendant is one of the Messrs Hampsons, veterinary surgeons, of Bolton. 1' he action was brought to recover the sum of £ 50 as damages, for an injury done to the plaintiff's mare by the alleged negli- gence of the defendant. The plaintiff's mare was aged sixteen years, and had hunted eight seasons, and was placed under the defendant's care, with instructions to prepare her for the next season. The plaintiff directed the defendant to give her " plenty of work," and hoped to see her " fit to run for her life." When delivered up to plaintiff the mare was lame HI both her fore feet, and her legs were swollen, which tke plaintiff's witnesses thought could on) y have arisen from violent exercise. On the other hand defendant contended there had been no negligence. The mare had been allowed to gallop only on one occasion ; once she had leaped over a bar two feet high, and once over a quickset hedge into a field. The judge decided in favour of the plain- tiff, and awarded him £ 40 damages, being the value of the mare when she began to hunt. The questions submitted to the court were, first, whether the instructions given to the defend- 1 ant to give the mare plenty of work, & c, did not amount to an indemnity; and, secondly, whether there was any evidence from which the judge could conclude that the defendant had been guilty of negligence.— Mr Mellish was heard for the appellant, and Mr Coxort for the respondent. Lord Campbell having been absent from the court during a part of the argument, as one of her Majesty's Commissiosers for the prorogation of Parliament, said he should not give any opinion, Mr Justice Coleridge said he was of opinion, on the first question, that the letter did not amount to an indemnity; and, upon the second point, con- sidering that the question was not whether there was any scin- tilla of evidence, but whether there was any evidence upon which the judge could " reasonably" have come to the conclusion that there had been negligence, his lordship thought there was not such evidence. Mr Justice Wightman took the opposite view of the question, and thought that there was evidence from which the judge might come to that conclusion, though his lord- ship would abstain from expressing whether or not he himself would have come to the same decision. Mr Justice Erie con- curred with the opinion of Mr Justice Coleridge. Judgment was thereupon given that the plaintiff should be nonsuited. SPORTING IN TURKEY.— GENERAL SHIRLEY AND HIS HOUNDS.— In the Court of Exchequer, on Wednesday, an action was brought by Charles Cross against Colonel Shirley, who had held the temporary rank of general in Turkey, as commanding the cavalry division of the Turkish Contingent during the late Russian war. The declaration stated that the plaintiff had entered into the defendant's service as kennel huntsman at £ 5 a month, with food, clothing, and lodging, and a passage to and from Turkey. The defendant pleaded that he did not promise-, that he did pay him and supply him with food ; that he had offered the plaintiff a passage, which he had refused, and he had consequently been discharged, and that before the action was brought he had satisfied the plaintiff's claim,— Charles Cross, the plaintiff, deposed as follows:— In December, 1855, 1 entered into an agreement, through Mr Tattersall's office, with General Shirley, as kennel huntsman, at £ 5 a month, with food and clothing. On the 9th of January I took the hounds to Dept- ford, and on the 10th the vessel sailed for Constantinople, where we arrived on the 11th of February. I saw the defendant there, when he gave me £ 4, which made altogether £ 14 I received from him, which was all the money I ever got from General Shirley. By his direction I took the hounds to a placc called Bucheckmajee, 30 miles from Constantinople. I took care of the hounds there. General Shirley hunted the hounds there many times— sometimes foxes, sometimes hares, On the 19th of May General Sulrley left for Constantinople. On the 28th of May I received a letter from General Shirley. ( The letter was put in, in which the writer stated he had sold the hounds,) A Mr Spurling came to me from General Shirley. I received £ 5 15s 6d from him. I provided the hounds with food, which I got from the contractor. ( Several items in the plaintiff's bill were then read.) They included charges for the conveyance of dead horses and mules, for food for the hounds, medicine for them, and the wear and tear of clothes. On the 5th of July the hounds were sold to a Mr Whittle, and I had to take the hounds to him, four miles beyond Constantinople. I delivered the hounds to him, I think, on the 11th of July. I remained with Mr Whittle a few weeks. I asked Mr Spurling if he thought I might, and he said " Yes." Mr Whittle gave me £ 18, but I tried to get a passage home all the while. I then went to Constantinople, and found that the general had left for England in June. I applied to Major Brett to take me home. At last I got a passage home from Mr Ware, for taking care of two horses. 1 left in March, 1857, and arrived in May. I found out General Shirley after some time, and, having consulted an attorney, I brought this action.— Cross- examined : I was about five weeks iu the nospital at Bucheckmajee, and General Shirley employed another man to do my duty, I heard that Sir Stephen Lakeman was the first gentleman to whom the plaintiff hoped to sell the hounds. Before General Shirley left he did not offer me a passage home. I did not say I would rather stay where I was. Mr Whittl ® sold the hounds to Mr Stamford, and I then left. I did not apply to him for a situation. Captain Murray, Major Brett's assistant, offered me a passage home. — Re- examined: Major Brett told me I could have a passage home, but he could not say when. I went to the Turkish Con- tingent office, and they took a copy of my agreement, that they might make General Shirley pay for it. Afterwards, Captain Murray said I could have a passage, but I must be on board ship at two o'clock that day. I could not do so asthe'houndswere five miles off, and I could not be ready in time.— A judge's order to examine Mr Spurling, by commission, being now put in, the plaintiff's case closed.— Mr Chambers, for the defence, said that Colonel Shirley resisted this action on the ground that the plaintiff's claim was extortionate; but he did not object to the charge made by the plaintiff during his illness in the hospital. He contended that Colonel Shirley having written to the plaintiff that he had sold the hounds, was sufficient notice; but that in any case, after the plaintiff had entered into the service of Mr Whittle, there had been a disruption of the agreement. He admitted that the defendant must lose the verdict, and that the sole question for the jury would be tho amount to which the plaintiff was in justice and liberality entitled to, and which Col Shirley was willing to pay.— Colonel Shirley, the defendant, ex- amined : I had the command of the Turkish Contingent cavalry at Constantinople. I engaged the plaintiff. In the month of May the Turkish Contingent was ordered to be broken up. I then told Cross of it, and gave him the option of returning to England with my other gervants. This I did personally before the hounds were sold. He said he did not wish to return, as he liked the country very much, and asked me to get him service there. His passage would not have cost rae anything. As soon asSir Stephen Lakeman declined taking the hounds, he askedme if I would let the houndsman go without the hounds, and I said I would. I left Constantinople on the 4TLI of June, and before I left I authorised Mr Spurling, who was my major- domo, to settle with the plaintiff. I authorised him to pay hira £ 5 15s 6d, which I considered was all that was due. I received no fur- ther communication from the plaintiff until he served me with notice of action.— Cross- examined : The plaintiff said he wished to remain in the country as a huntsman, provided he could get employment. My impression is that he did not say he would wish to remain provided I could get him employ- ment.— Mr Richard Tattersall proved that on his engaging the plaintiff for Colonel Shirley he supplied him with a hunts- man's outfit, which cost £ 9 7s, aud which was charged to the defendant.— The examination of Major Brett, in which he stated he had offered the plaintiff a free passage home several times between July and October, was then put in. This closed the case for the defendant.— Mr Chambers having summed up the defendant's evidence, and Mr Temple having replied on the whole case, Mr Baron Martin summed up, observing that the sole question for the jury was the amount to which they considered tke plaintiff was entitled, and that would depend on the period at which tbey thought the service had terminated. Agreements such as this were generally terminated by a notice on either side. If they believed that the plaintiff jvould not avail himself of the offer to go to England, they would, injustice to the de- fendant, say that the period of service expired when the plaintiff would have arrived in England. If tbey adopted his view that he had no such opportunity, tben he would be entitled to his wages up to the period when he arrived in England on the 3d of May.— The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £ 138 7s 6d. BREACH OF PROMISE OP MARRIAGE.— In the Bail Court, on Friday, an action was brought by a servant- girl named Austen, against Mr Bridgett, the principal partner in the firm of Bridgett and Co, sawing and planing mills, Albion and Dantzic Wharves, Lower Queen- street, Rotherhithe.— From the state- ment of Mr Lilley, aud the evidence he adduced in support of it, it appears that the defendant entered the service of the plain- tiff about two years ago; that he some time afterwards promised her marriage, and frequently drove her about in his private carriage, as though she were his wife, in company with her father and other relatives. In the course of last year the plaintiff gave birth to a child, which was christened " George Frederick Bridgett," and the defendant paid for its main- tenance and for the rent of rooms he engaged for the plaintiff during her illness, but not until he was sum- moned for the amouut in the county court of South- ward The defendant frequently promised that he would marry " Polly" in a month or so in the presence of wit- nesses, but afterwards said he must postpone the ceremony until after the marriage of his eldest son. Meanwhile his eldest son took to himself a wife, but the defendant was slow to perform his promise, and then wished to postpone the marriage until his younger son was married, remarking that if he married while that young gentleman was on his hands, his home would be a perfect hell upon earth. He then proposed to the plaintiff that she should return to his house, and live with him in her former capacity of servant, but this she indignantly refused, and then the defendant turned round ana declared that he had never made any promise of marriage at all,— Mr Sergeant Ballantine cross- examined the witnesses, with a view to show that this was an attorney's action brought for the purpose of obtaining costs. This, however, Mr Lilley, on the pare of the plaintiff, repu- diated.— Mr Lilley having summed up the evidence, Mr Sergeant Ballantine addressed the jury for the defendant, contending that the whole story of the repeated promises of marriage were against all the probabilities of the case.— The learned judge having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages—£ 50. SPEAKING SEDITION AGAINST THE QUEEN.— The first sepoy case yet brought before an Irish court was heard on Wednesday in the Queen's Bench. Mr O'Moore, counsel for the prisoner, Timothy H. Dunne, who is at present in the gaol of Longford, moved that he might be discharged on giving sufficient bail to stand his trial at the next assizes. The charge against him was for the using of seditious language, aud the informations against him had been sworn by a man named Carr, who had recently been in the army. Carr stated that the prisoner came into a public- house in the town of Longford and there made use of language against the Queen and Government, saying, " To the devil with the Queen and the constitution ; that it was a bad constitution, and ought to be put down!" He was cautioned against resorting to the use of such language ; but, according to the allegation of the prosecutor, persisted, and added, after wishing the Queen to the devil, " that she was getting it now," alluding to the disturbances in India. Counsel submitted that the case was one in which his client was entitled to bo admitted to bail. The Court ordered the prisoner to be released on en- tering into recognisances of £ 50 and two sureties in £ 25 each. The rebel journals, such as the Nation, persevere in their libels on every thing British, and still prophesy that we shall be " kicked out of India." They are not worth attention; but as a specimen of the last form of their madness, the following ex- tract may be given from the journal already named ( the italics and capitals belong to the Nation): " This country ( Ireland) has, withi* the last three months, awakened to a vitality that has startled friend and foe; the sleep that her enemies fondly hoped was death, is rapidly passing away, and an almost incre- dible vigour is making itself felt throughout the old island. No one now denies that England has received her mortal wound— that, however long or short she may linger, her days are num- bered. A unanimous feeling seems to be taking possession of the public mind that England, in a sorer strait than she was in ' 82, will ere long be glad to act as she did then, if we ourselves will only use our opportunity as our fathers did theirs. Men who, even one short year ago, laughed at Irish nationality, merelv because they believed its attainment hopeless, are now found" expressing the most sanguine hopes and belief that it is nearer than any one imagines— an opinion which we ourselves share, save in so far as we have yet to be convinced that the HOUR will find the country possessed of the spirit of ' 82."

PLOUGHING BY STEAM.— The Highland and Agricultural So- ciety of Scotland this year offered a premium of £ 200 for a steam plough which would satisfy certain conditions. The only plough that entered into competition was that of Mr John Fowler, Cornhill, London, which was tried for several days both at Stir- ling and Edinburgh, but in one or two iustauces the day's work was interrupted by accidental derangements of the machinery. Mr Fowler's plough consists of a steam- engine stationed at one end of the ridge, and so far locomotive as to progress latitudi- nary with the work, and an anchor moveable in like manner at the other extreme. Between these a plough traverses the field longitudinally. It is of double construction, so as to move either way. and is propelled and guided by an endless rope revolving on the cylinders of the engine and anchor. After much consi- deration the judges have awarded the premium to Mr Fowler, considering that, though his steam plough may not have satis- fied all the conditions laid down by the society, the quality and amount of the work performed have been such as to entitle him to all the encouragement and support which their award is cal- culated to afford.

PUNISHMENT OF A CASHLESS POINTSMAN,— In the Edin- burgh High Court of Justiciary, on Tuesday, John Latto— the pointsman on the Peebles Railway who had been convicted on the previous day of culpable violation of his duty, by signalling to the driver of a train on the 31st of July to advance, while he had neglected to shift the points, by which a number of the passengers were cut and injured— was brought up for sentence. The Lord Justice- Clerk, after pointing out the responsibility resting upon individuals iu Latto's situation, and the conse- quent aggravation of any neglect of duty by them, stated that but for the excellent character which he had previously borne, he would have felt it his duty to sentence him to a long period of penal servitude; and even taking that favourable circum- stance into consideration, the lightest sentence which the court felt it its duty to pronounce was imprisonment for two years.

Mr EDITOR: This pack had their third meet of the season on Thursday, Nov 5, at Duddon Heath, but as it is proscribed ground, the master did not attempt to draw, and trotted off to Crows Nest, a cover rented by the Hunt. They found directly, and had a rare flve- and- forty minutes past Tattenhall, over the hills, and killed near Cholmondeley Park. Captain Mainwaring was the only scarlet out, and a hard riding cattle dealer and a few young farmers composed the field. On dit, that a sub- scriber, who has pledged himself not to hunt with the present master, but has not warned him off his covers, was espied earlier in the week perched in a tree, and watching the sport, while the hounds drew his own cover beneath.— Tours, & c, X. Y. Z. LORD PORTSMOUTH'S HOUNDS. ME EDITOE : On Friday, the 6th inst, the annual meet of the Earl of Portsmouth's Foxhounds took place in the park at the front of the mansion, where a host of pedestrians, from the lady in silks down to the humble sweep, assembled to witness the proceedings. On entering the front hall a magnificent display of old English viands presented itself, and the luxuriant and tasteful manner in which the tables were furnished in the dif- ferent apartments, from the dining- room to the servants' bai. honour to the generous heart of the uoble earl; whilst the skx ful designsaud decorations which embellished the collation re fleeted the higest credit on the chef who conducted their ar rangement. Nearly three huudred partook of his lordship' hospitality. About half- past eleven o'clock a move was made t< the osier beds situated on the south side of the park, from whicl it is separated only by a small field and the turnpike road. In th< park is a considerable eminence, o: i the top of which oianj vears ago was planted along row of beech trees, and which is known by the name of Lord Lymington's walk. This spot com. mauds an extensive view southward, which the late Duke o! Wellington declared to be the be9t place in England to view a fox breaking cover. On this favourite spot a numerous com- pany on foot had stationed themselves, anxiously awaiting Charley's appearance. It was not many minutes before the houuds gave notice that they were on the scent of what was sup- posed to be a senior fox, who, by his repeated artful dodges and turns, seemed unwilling to leave his favourite haunt; but, not- withstanding his cunning and sagacity, he was soon compelled to turn out. This revnard accomplished almost unobserved by the overlookers, and it was not until ascending the hill opposite the old Halfmoon seat, that his flight was likely to be impeded by a group of ladies, who, however, quickly formed a passage and allowed him free passage. Pushing along at a good pace, he succeeded in reaching Cowdown Coppice without much diffi- culty, but being closely pursued, he hastily left this place for Blosewood, where, being headed by two men, he returned to Cewdown, thence making a circuitous route to the Beeches oppo- site the village church, at which place, after one hour's hard run and being dead beat, he was obliged to surrender. Tufton osier beds were next drawn, and a brace of foxes soon found, one of which took the same line as the first one, crossing the park to Cowdown Coppice, thence over the Easiugstoke and Salisbury Railway to Hogdigging; here, being headed, he directed his course towards Whitchurch station, crossing the railway at Freefolk, and visiting Laverstoke House ( the seat of Melville Portal, Esq), after which, making his way to Freefolk Wood, which he reached iu safety, thereby eluding his pursuers, after an excellent runof oue hourand thirty- five minutes. Thus ended this brilliant day's sport, with which all who were present were highly delighted.— Yours. & c, ANTON. MR ASSHETON SMITH'S HOUNDS. ME EDITOE : Oa Monday these hounds met at WilburyPark, the seat of Mr Marsh, M. P. for Salisbury, and a most strenuous preserver of both game and foxes. Would that all landowners would believe in the possibility of such a combination ! After an excellent hunt breakfast, George Carter conducted the lady pack to the Thorn Coppice, near the railway station. A gallant fox was found instantly, who took them without a check for five- and- twenty minutes across Wilbury Park, nearly to Turner's Gorse, when he pointed for Tidworth, and was eventually run into at the Will Copse. The pace was tremendous from end to end, and choked off not a few of the field. Two ladies were among the first flight ( which also included Alfred Day on Stone- henge), but another, we regret to say, had rather an awkward fall. The hounds found again shortly near Amesbury, but there was not much more sport.— Yours, & c, D. J. LEDBURY HOUNDS. ME EDITOE : These hounds met at the ill- favoured meet of Suckley Hills— that is to say by the riding party, for it is a rough country, but a woodland country often produces a good fox, and such was the case on the present occasion. We found a fox in his kennel, and nearly chopped him. but luckily he got away and took a ring round the hills, when, being headed, he turned away and broke by Suckley Church, through Mr Okey'sfarm, through Upper Ceurt, to Yearset, over Wofferwood Common, thence on to the Scar and Church banks, Rainbury and Linton, where he had evidently waited for us, much t?> the satisfaction of the field, for having come a good pace, and the country heavy, we wanted a pull at our nags. " Will," the huntsman, made a good cast, aud got close on his line, and we turned up wind, skirting Stan- ford to Whooton, the Mill Coppice back to his old home, the Suckley Hills, at a racing pace ; here he never hung a minute, as a beaten fox might be expected to do, but held on his line to the point where he was headed in the morning, across the road to the gorse cover and Kulsley Dingle, then on to the Folly, where he took two short rings almost in view of the pack, and quite so with the few horsemen who were up, and eventually went to ground at the Red Cliff, to the great disappointment of all present. We congratulate the sportsmen of that country that they possess such foxes, for nothing but a burning scent and a good start with one friend of to day will ever bring him to hand, but that must be backed by the picked pack— and if we ever have the luck to find him again, we hope such chances may be the case.— Yours, & c, LANDFOED. Nov 11. THE SUFFOLK FOXHOUNDS. MB EDITOE: These hounds had a clipping good run on Saturday, the 7th. They met at Felsham Green. Found a good fox in Hitchen Wood; he did not hang long, but after one turn round the cover broke away at a pace too good for any save those who like a good pace over one of the stiftest countries in England. I will not bother your readers by giving an account of the different covers our fox took through; suffice it, that after one hour and five minutes' superb hunting— the pack doing their work in most brilliant style— the gallant fellow was obliged to succumb, and was pulled down in a grass field near Rattlesden. Few saw the whole of the run; but of those who rode with the hounds all through in the first flight were Mr Sevan, Mr Spurgeon, and a stranger, riding a blood horse the property of the Rev C. Cartwright. Wishing Mr Josslin and his pack good sport and many such runs, yours, & c, ONE WHO SAW THE RUN FBOM THE ROAD. Bury, Nov 11th. FOX HUNTING AND FARMING. ME EDITOE : Perhaps your readers may not have heard of a short conversation, important and interesting to sporting men, which took place at the agricultural dinner at Witham, Essex. Mr Blood said there was a field of wheat belonging to Mr Patti- son, on which a fox was killed last year, and the master of the hounds said he never saw a field so cut up. He should like to know how the crop had turned out P Mr Pattison said the crop was a very good one, and had not sustained the slightest damage; adding, he should be glad to see the hunters on any field of his in future. This, sir, is the right spirit for an occupier of land, who surely ought never to grudge the delight and amusement of a multitude of his neighbours for the chance of a small sacrifice to himself, which seldom, in fact,- really happens. In a country with which I am connected, the master, who keeps an excellent pack at his own expense, and lives at home there all the year round, has already, in the month of October, drawn five or six miles of country blank and gone home without finding, having also had the satisfaction of hearing that seven foxes had been killed in that district. Now I believe the seven was something of a multiplication, like the three black crows of which we have heard; but still there was no doubt a substratum of fact on which the unpleasant story was built; and I cannot help con- trasting Mr Pattison's frank and kindly invitation with the de- generate feeling shown by some of my countrymen.— Yours, & c, AN ANCIENT BEITON. HUNTING AT PAU ( SOUTH OF FRANCE). ME EDITOE : In your last Bell's Life you kindly inserted my letter in answer to " Shamrock," wherein the following mistake appears:—" The price from London to Paris is about £ 12a horse." It ought to have been thus worded: " The price from London to Pau, via Bordeaux, is about £ 12 a horse." I have since learnt that the price by steamer from London to Bordeaux is £ 5 5s. a horse. The remainder of the £ 12 will be consumed in rail from Bordeaux to Dax, and, travelling by road, from Dax to Pau.— Yours, & c., ONE OF LAST YEAE'S COMMITTEE. ME EDITOE : Will it be presuming too much upon your im- partiality to ask you to inform your readers what was the result of the " emphatic denial of the Drag" by the Pau Committee, which met my eye in a number of your journal last season, and of their challenge—" discarding all animosity" on the subject— to any person to substantiate, with his signature, the said charge of the DEAG. SALE OP HUNTEES.— The hunters of the late Mr Bird, of Navenby, Lincolnshire, were sold a few days since. Lord Henry Bentinck purchased one for £ 100 ; another of the stud realised the same amount, and a third £ 90. ION, NOVEMBER 15, 1857. LONDON IN THE TIME OF JAMES TIIE FIEST.— The Curate Busino, who accompanied the Venetian Ambassador to London, gives an amusing description of the metropolis at that time. The fields adjoining the ambassador's house, in Bishopsgate- street Without, were used for all kinds of sports and martial exercises, for bow meetings, for sham fights and mock sieges, and various other manoeuvres of the train- bands, and even for " musket and artillery exercise " ( not, we hope, ball practice); making such a " crash and noise," that the poor chaplain protests he cannot eat his dinner in peace. One day, the Lord Mayor's review of the City Militia, six thousand strong, was held on this British Campus Martius; and several of the companies, in returning, as they passed the ambassador's apartments, fired a salute ( there was more hatred of Spain than love of Venice in this), and shouted, " Venice for ever!" which was very gratifying, but rather disturbing. London he pronounces " very noble, with handsome thoroughfares and well- supplied shops, each distinguished by its sign, like so many inns, and plenty of beautiful stone fountains, especially in the heart of the City." This moves our envy, but it is some comfort to know that the pollutions of the " silver Thames" are not entirely the result of modern innovations. Its water, says Busino, which is raised mechanically, is " so hard, turbid, and foul, that its smell may be perceived in the linen which is washed with it." The town is so large it is hard to say where it begins or ends. There is the city of Westminster at some distance, where the King has a palace, and where the courts of law and the Parliaments are held, but it is almost united with London by a continuous suc- cession of houses. " On the opposite shore, too, there are some good habitations, but fewer in number;" and " these are con- nected by a noble stone bridge, which on each side has a hand- some row of shops, so that the traveller is notjconscious of pass- ing over the river at allwhich Busino seems to consider a great advantage. But King James was doing his best to check the evil of an " over grown capital." He had lately issued a proclamation to compel the demolition of all the houses which had been erected in the suburbs since his accession— an order so extravagant, that Busino thinks it must have been devised as a pretext for extorting fines. THE HISTOET OF TOBACCO ANB CI* ABS.— Benzoni first be- came acquainted with tobacco and cigars at Porte Rico and Hispauiola, and he gives the following minute description of them, which is valuable, as being probably tbe first ever given, his travels ranging between 1541 and 1556:—" In this island, as also in other provinces of these countries, there are somebusnes, not very large, like reeds, that produce a leaf in shape like that of the walnut, though rather larger, which ( where it is used) is held in great esteem by the natives, and very much prized by the slaves, whom the Spaniards have brought from Ethiopia. When these leaves are in season they pick them, tie them up in bundles, and suspend them near their fireplace till they are very dry; and when they wish to use them, they take a leaf of their grain ( maize), and putting one of the others in it, they roll them round tight together; then they set light to one end, and putting the other end into the mouth, they draw their breath up through it, wherefore the smoke goes into the mouth, the throat, the head, and they retain it as long as they can, for they find a pleasure in it, and so much do they fill themselves with this cruel smoke that they lose their reason. And there are some who take so much of it that they fall down as if they were dead, and remain the greater part of the day or night stupi- fied. Some men are found who are content with imbibing only enough of this smoke to make them giddy, and. no more. See what a pestiferous and wicked poison from the devil this must be. It happened to me several times that, going through the provinces Guatemala and Nicaragua, I have entered the house of an Indian who had taken this herb, which, in the Mexican language, is called tobacco, and immediately perceiving the sharp, fetid smell of this truly diabolical and stinking smoke, I was obliged to go away in haste and seek some other place." CHABIES MATHEWS'S ADVICE TO THE AMEBICANS.— Charles Mathews made a speech in Boston, three weeks ago, in which he said:—" I am somewhat unlucky in timing my visits to America. In 1838, some nineteen years ago, I first crossed the Atlantic, and popped upon a pecuniary crisis in New York: and now, in 1857, I nave had the luck to pop upon another. It seems as if my presence were doomed to bring a panic with it [ great laughter]— but I am happy to find at any rate that it has not had the effect of frightening you out of the theatre [ laughter aud applause^. Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, I think the best you can do is to come into it as often as possible, and to divert your mind for au hour or to from the cares of real life. In times of difficulty, so far from its being an expensive luxury, the theatre is about the cheapest mode you can adopt of passing your leisure moments [ laughter]. During one of our hardest winters in London a poor man was observed almost every night, to the surprise of the money- taker, paying his sixpence to the gallery of the Surrey Theatre. At last, out of curiosity, he got into conversation with him. ' How is it,' said he,' that you, who appear to be a very poor man, can afford to come and pay your money here night after night, when one would think you had barely enough to keep life and soul together at home?' ' That's it,' said he, ' I come here out of economy [ laughter]. Its the cheapest way I can spend my evening. At home I must burn fire ana candle, and have something to eat and drink for myself and friend, and at an expense of two or three shillings at the least; while here. I get warmed, lighted, lodged, and amused, with plenty of good company around me, and all for sixpence.' There was philosophy in this, ladies and gentlemen, and I re- comxaead it tg your serious consideration" [ much laughter]. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

A JUVENILE PRISONER SCALDED TO DEATH IN WESTMI STEB BEIDEWELL.— On Saturday week an inquest was held the Westminster Bridewell, before Mr Bedford, on the body William Henry Taylor, aged 16, a prisoner, who was scalded death by falling into a copper of boiling water, under circu stances of a very shocking aud melancholy nature. It appear from the evidence of the clerk of the prison, and several of t warders, that the prisoner had been convicted in Septeml last, at the Uxbridge Petty Sessions, of robbing his employer a cash- box, containing £ 10, for which he was sentenced to months' imprisonment. Being a well- disposed, quiet lad, a no reports against him for insubordination, he had the privilf of being in the kitchen. On last Wednesday week he was, w other lads, cleansing one of the soup coppers, when leaning across to turn the cock to let the hot water in, slipped and fell in. The poor boy was taken out by B and Rose, two of the warders, in a frightful state. 1 coroner inquired whether it was compulsory for the li to clean the coppers. Mr Matheson, the clerk, said certai not; it was an indulgence for them to be in the cook- room. Lavies said that the deceased was scalded extensively; he ne knew a worse case. Contrary to expectation, he rallied a 1 days, but afterwards sunk, and died on Wednesday evening; had every care and attention paid him— as much so, and mc than if he had been at liberty. The parents of the deceas very respectable looking persons, here expressed their discont< that their unfortunate son had been given such quantitlet laudanum after the accident. The body was greatly swollen a discoloured. Dr Lavies said such an appearance of the body \ the result of the ravages the injuries by scalding had produc The coroner and jury expressed their surprise that any cc plaint should have been made. Dr Lavies was most humane a attentive to all the prisoners. Dr Lavies added that sn doses of opium, it is true, had been administered to the p> lad, but it was for the purpose of assuaging his severe sufferi The coroner and jury said they were satisfied his treatment \ of a nature in every respect proper and humane. Yerdic Accidental Death. A NEW ADHESIVE CEMENT.— Professor Edmund Davy, i paper read to the Royal Society of Dublin, proposes the folic mg as an excellent cement for repairing gutters, drain- pip pumps, & c. It consists in two parts of common pitch mel together, with one part of gutta percha. This compound is many cases preferable to gutta percha alone, and may, mc over, be dried and preserved for use. In order to apply it metal gutters or pipes, they should be warmed with a hot ir and the cement then be poured upon a leaky place. It is equf applicable to wood, glass, porcelain, ivory, leather, parchme and a number of other substances. ME FITZROY AND THE OMNIBUSES.— Mr Fitzroy, who dist guished himself a year or two ago in connection with the re lation of cab fares, hag upon his anvil a measure in reference omnibuses and their fares, which he intends to introduw early as he possibly can in the next session of Parliament. 1 main object of the measure is an equalisation and systemisat: of fares, but there are other portions of the proposed bill wh. will have for their object an improvement of the vehicles the selves, with a view to increased accommodation for the public SWOBD AGAINST REVOLVES.— INTEEESTING TBIAL.— A f days ago a conversation to « k place about the revolver that end in a trial of its capabilities, in a case where an enemy at a f< yards suddenly made his appearance armed with a sword in scabbard before a man armed with a loaded revolver in its be The question was whether a man could draw an Adams's pate and fire, before the other could advance, draw his sword, a cut the head or arm of the man using a revolver. Mr Arnold, Bond- street, contended that he could advance the leBgth of 1 fencing room, draw his sword, and cut, before the man witt revolver could draw his weapon and fire. Mr Arnold, howev< excepted the revolver made by Westley Richards. After abo half- an- hour's trial, to the astonishment of every one present, was proved that the sword had the advantage. Another tr was then made— Mr Arnold to draw his sword, rush on his ma and cut, on the revolver being fired to the left, Mr Arnold start after the trigger had been pulled, and to deliver his c before the revolver could be turned to the front and fired at hii The sword again had the advantage. SUICIDE OF ME EDWARD WOOLCOTT, ABCHITECT.— On We nesday afternoon Mr Edward Woolcott, the well- known archite and builder, whose town residence was at No. 7, Hereford- stre< Park- lane, put a period to his existence by discharging the cc tents of a horse pistol into his mouth. It appears that some the domestics heard the report of fire- arms, and on proceedi to the room which was used by the deceased as his private stuc they discovered their unfortunate master stretched on the fit in a pool of blood, with a pistol grasped in his right hand ; head was shattered frightfully. Several medical men promp arrived, but all human aid was unavailable. DISTBESSING ACCIDENT.— Oa Thursday evening week a ( tressing accident, which it was at first feared would result fata occurred to Miss Martha Briscoe, third daughter of Geo Briscoe, Esq, of Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire, formerly of C fallings, near this town. The young lady, who was on a visit Miss Briscoe, of Summerhill, near Kingswinford, accident) set fire to her evening dress with a candle, and before the flai could be extinguished was so severely. burnt that it was for sc time doubtful whether her system would recover the shock, ! on Saturday week she rallied, and is now, we are happy to les 1 progressing favourably.— Wolverhampton Chronicle,' THE INDIAN MUTINIES.

THE ELLESMEBE ROBBBRY.— At Worship- street, OH Wednes- day, Edward Jackson, an oil and colourman, in Leonard- street, Shoreditch, and his wife, Anne Jackson, were brought up for re- examination, charged with having been found in felonious possession of various valuable articles of wearing apparel, the property of the Countess of Ellesmere, and which had been ab- stracted, with a trunk containing property to the aggregate amount of £ 15,000, from her ladyship's carriage during her pro- gress to Windsor Castle on a visit to her Majesty. The facts adduced at the former hearing have already been published, and the following important additional evidence was now proceeded with:— Chas. Froud, the driver of a cab, stated that at six o'clock on the evening of January 22, 1856 ( the day of the rob- bery), he was called off the stand in Davies- street, Grosvenor- square, by two raeu, one of whom directed him to assist iu acing a large black box inside of his cab, and having taken eave of his companion, he entered after it, and desired to be driven to Willow- walk, Shoreditch. As they wore passing through Finsbury- square, he was ordered to proceed into Leo- nard- street, on reaching which the man got out, and walked away with the box, which witness had placed upon his shoulder, and he saw no more of him. He noticed at the time that the box was very weighty, and, to the best of his belief, it was the one now produced by the police as the property of Lady Elles- raere.— Eliza Parsons, a poor widow in the neighbourhood, was then examined, and stated that she had been in the habit of washing for the female prisoner, in whose possession she had seen articles of dress of the most costly description. Some lace handkerchiefs and part of a dress, which had been proved to be the property of Lady Ellesmere, were here shown to the witness, who recognised two of the articles as a portion of those to which she referred. A valuable black scarf was also exhibited to her, iu reference to which she stated that since the former examination she had been spoken toby the female prisoner, who urged her to give evidence to the effect that she had known it as her property for five years, but she declined to do so as she had never before seen it.— Inspector Bricknell: la the absence of a prosecutor, perhaps your worship will allow me to ask the witness whether she can give any evidence respecting certain diamonds ?— Witness: Yes; Mrs Jackson once showed me two very splendid diamonds, which she told me had beeu sent to her by a gentleman in Aus- tralia, who paid his addresses to her before she married her husband.— The Inspector: Aud I believe she has some dis- closures to make in connection with a copper tea- kettle.— Wit- ness : You mean the kettle that Mrs. Jackson gave me to take care of when her husband was in trouble about receiving a cask of butter ? I remember there were two watches in it, besides some silver plate, a long jewel- box, and lots of rings with pearls aud red stones; but I returned the whole of them to her about ten days afterwards.— Police Constable Evans now deposed, in addition to his former evidence, that on the discovery of Lady Ellesmere's property at the house in Leonard- street, a portion of it was claimed as her own by the female prisoner, who declared that some of the articles were presents from her mother, and that others had been given to her by a female friend in the Hampatead- road. With regard to the haberdashery goods which had been found upou the male prisoner, their owner had not been traced; but he had ascertained that the mau Woodward, from whom Jackson alleged he had obtained the property, was now in the House of Correction, under a sentence of 12 months' imprisonment, for receiving stolen goods. It haviBg been inti- mated by the police that further time was necessary to com- plete the ends of justice, the prisoners were again remanded for ft W6ftk » SHARPERS OUTWITTED.— At Worship- street, OH Saturday week, Caleb Smith and Thomas Herbert, both of whom were re- cognised as accomplished " duffers," under various aliases, were charged before Mr Hammill with the following artful and impu- dent attempt to cheat and defraud Mr William Bostock, a general dealer in Great Cambridge- street, Hackney- road. The particulars of the case created much amusement in court, which was not a little enhanced by the curious admixture of affected simplicity and genuine shrewdness which characterised the complainant's evidence. It appeared from his statement that while engaged behind his counter, shortly before noon on the 30th ult, the prisoners entered the shop, and having waited until he dismissed a customer, Caleb Smith cautiously produced a small packet of choice tobacco, which he described in a low voice as a sample of nearly half a cwt, which he would be able to dispose of at a " ruinous sacrifice." After inspecting the article, witness in a purposely subdued tone asked him what he wanted for it, to which the prisoner replied that there were 481b altogether, and that he could let him have the lot for three sovereigns. W itness then looked him hard in the face, and availing himself of his pro- ficiency in the cant phraseology of thieves, which he derived from frequent intercourse with the police, to whom he had ren- dered occasional assistance for the detection of criminals, he put it to the prisoner, in a confidential whisper, whether it had not been come by " on the cross." The prisoner, who was appa- rently thrown off his guard by the cordial tone and felicitous expression, instantly answered in the affirmative, and applying his forefinger, with a significant wink, to the tip of his nose, frankly added, " The fact is, I'm3kticket- of- leaver, and you may guess the rest." Having thus established a thorough under- standing to their mutual satisfaction, they proceeded to busi- ness, and the complainant so adroitly kept up his assumed character of " a fence," that he induced the prisoner to accept about half the amount he demanded for the tobacco, which he proposed to go for at once, and close the transaction. Witness, however, reminded him that the completion of such a delicate affair in his own shop might compromise his reputa- tion, to which the prisoner readily assented, and having arranged a meeting for the purpose in front of Shoreditch Church, Caleb and his confederate went away rejoicing. The moment they had gone the complainant made his way to the station- house, aud secured the services of Twist and Sturgeon, two clever officers, with whom he concerted Measures, in furtherance of which he punctually attended the rendezvous, while his detective allies quietly ensconced themselves behind the curtained windows of a public- house opposite. The prisoners arrived soon after, and accompanied complainant down an adjoining archway, where one of them drew out from a black bag he had with him, a large package with some tobacco protruding through the cover, the side of which appeared to be accidentally torn. After handing the parcel to the prosecutor, with an assurance that he would find it the proper weight, the prisoners were in the act of urging him for their stipulated payment " before the ' bobbies got scent of them," when the two officers suddenly pounced upon them, and, to their utter astonishment, they found themselves in custody. The package in question was subsequently opened at the station, and, with the exception of the handful of to- bacco which was placed under the torn part of the wrapper, it was found to be filled up with sawdust. In answer to a question frem the magistrate with regard to their antecedents, it was in- timated that both prisoners were veteran sharpers, and that Smith in particular had obtained a conspicuous notoriety in connection with the robbery of some of her Majesty s plate about two years ago, on which occasion he placed himself in communication with several old detectives, from each of whom he obtained money for information which turned out to be mere moonshine, and managed for some time to elude the eager search of the mortified constabulary, but was ultimately captured, and suffered ten months' imprisonment for his ingenuity. The pri- soners, who were manifestly a good deal chap- fallen at the ugly aspect of the case, declined offering any defence, and were fully committed for trial. RACING IN ROTTEN- ROW.— At Marlborough- street, on Thurs- day, Mr William Henry Jackson, of Fladong's Hotel, and Mr Edward O'Keefe, were charged before Mr Bingham with racing in Rotten- row.— A professional gentleman from the office of Mr Gardner, of the Woods and Forests, attended to prosecute.— Henry Matthews, No. 20, Hyde- park constable, said, on the 14th of October, about five o'clock, he was on duty in Rotten- row. He saw O'Keefe and Jackson coming on horseback from Knightsbridge- gate to Hyde- park- corner. When opposite Knightsbridge Barracks heard O'Keefe say to Jackson, " Your horse is not half a goer." Jackson replied, " Well, we'll have a trial." The defendants immediately turned their horses towards Kensington- gate, brought them together, and commenced racing down Rotten- row as hard as they could go. They went at this pace for about 600 yards.— The defendant O'Keefe did not deny that he was going fast— in fact, racing.— Jackson said his horse was only a pony.— Mr Bingham : Do you consider Rotten- row a proper place for a gallop ?— Jackson; No, certainly not; and I am very scrry if I have brokeu the law.— Mr Bing- ham : I must ask you to take your instructions on the law in this matter from me. If you are taking horse exercise in Rotten- row, and are walking, ambling, cantering, or even indulging in a hand gallop, no one will have cause to complain, but there is a law against racing, and any one who infringes the law must pay the penalty. In this case, however, I shall only mark what the law is by a moderate fine, and I therefore require you to pay 10s. each.— The money was paid. THE LATE ROBBERY BY A POLICEMAN.— At Marlborough- street, on Thursday, William Bennett, Ellen Mills, and Mary English were charged with being concerned with a police- constable, named Sankey, now under remand, in stealing pro- perty valued at upwards of £ 1,000 belonging to a lady, named Aikman.— From the evidence of Police sergeant Potter, D 16, and Police- constable Joy, A 338, it appeared that, having received certain information, they went to No. 7, East- street, and knocked at the front- room door at the top of the house. The door not being opened readily, it was broken open, and on entering they found Bennett and Mills in bed together. Told them they were wanted for being concerned in stealing a large quantity of pr » - perty from 68, Great Portland- street. They replied they knew nothing about it. and Bennett denied all knowledge of Sankey. On being questioned, Bennett said he had no watches and jewellery in the room. Proceeded to search the place, and from Mills took a purse containing £ 7 14s from one hand, and a gold watch from the other. The prisoner said the watch and the purse were her property. Went to the first floor, and knocked at the door of a room, which was opened by E nglish. Asked her if she had anything in the room that was not her own. She re- plied that she had not. The room was searched, and four sheets were found, which English declared had been in her possession for years. In Bennett's room some more property was found by Joy, besides skeleton keys, a jemmy, and four melting pots, which had evidently been used for melting jewellery and plate.— Mr Hugh Robertson Aikman proved that the gold ring and watch found in Bennett's room were the property of his mother, and, ; to the best of his belief, formed part of the property under the care of Sankey, th8 constable.— Mrs Aikman identified the UTH- perty produced.— The prisoners were remanded till Thursday*-*-- ] The new evidence " brought forward appears to corroborate to 1 some extent the defence of Sankey, that some persons whom he invited into the house took advantage of his being the worse for liquor, and plundered it of the largest portion of the stolen property. THEATRICAL FRACAS.— Mr R. Shepherd, one of the lessees of the Surrey Theatre, appeared before Mr Combe, ou Friday, at the Southwark police court, on a summons charging him with committing an assault on Thomas Burgess, the master carpenter, on the stage of the Surrey Theatre.— Mr Solomon appeared for the complainant, and Mr Edwin for the defendant.— Mr Solomon, in opening the case, said that ha was instructed to proceed against the defendant, one of the lessees and proprietors of the Surrey Theatre, for an unprovoked assault on his client, who had been upwards of two years master carpenter to that estab- lishment. The facts of the case were, that on Saturday after- noon, his client was engaged with forty or fifty other persons on the stage, in preparing the scenes of a new piece called " India, or the Fall of Delhi," and one of the flats unfortunately by some means or other got damaged. Mr Shepherd came up at the time, and perceiving the damage he became very much enraged, and after calling his client a liar, struck him on the nose, making the blood to flow for some moments. His client, holding a responsible situation, and having several men under bis employ, and about forty or fifty persons about at the time., felt himself greatly insulted, and on Mr Shepherd refusing ' to make an apology, hs was compelled to come to this court for justice.— The complainant was then sworn. He stated that Jie had been master carpenter of the Surrey Theatre upwards o. f two years, and had several men under him. On Saturday after- noon last witness was engaged ou the stage superintending the first scene in the fall of Delhi, and while he was giving direc- tions, the defendant came up and said, " Do you call yourself a master carpenter, and perform such work?" The scene was what was termed a flat twenty- four feet wide, and eighteen feet high, and by some means had been damaged. Witness told him he could not help it, as there was no room. Mr Shepherd said there was, and called him a d d liar. Witness said he was no liar, when the defendant struck him a violent blow on the mouth, making blood to flow copiously.— In cross- examination by Mr Edwin, witness said the scene was a very valuable one, painted by Mr Dalby, and it was of vast im- portance that great care should be taken of it.— Mr Edwin : Did you not make use of insulting words to my olient before he struck you?— Witness: I did not. All I said was, I was not a d d liar.— Mr Edwin: Did you not put yourself in a fighting attitude before any blow was struck?— Witness: Yes laid. I did that with the view of protecting myself, as I saw Mr Shep- herd was in a great passion.— Mr Edwin: And enough to put him in a passion when he has valuable property destroyed.— Witness : I could not help the damage being done.— Mr Solomon next called Richard Anderson, a scene- shifter, who said he was engaged on the stage at the time, when he heard some alterca- tion between Mr Shepherd and Mr Burgess. Words ensued be- tween them, and he believed Mr Shepherd called complainant a liar. One of the flats was damaged, and Mr Shepherd was telling complainant about the carelessness. He did not see any blow struck, but he saw blood flow from Burgess's mouth. The latter called out that he had been struck by Mr Shepherd, but witness did not see* it.— Timothy Fitzpatrick, another scene- shifter, gave similar evidence, when Mr Edwin, for the de- fendant, said that Mr Shepherd had received great provocation, as the complainant had charge of the scenery, and should have taken ewe that no damage was committed. The scene in ques- tion was a costly ene, and just at the present time, when so many valuable lives were sacrificed iu India, it was doubly valu- able, as it had given him and his partner considerable trouble in bringing out the new popular piece, entitled " India; or the Fall of Delhi. He must admit that seeing the damage done excited his passion, but not to such an extent as stated by Burgess; therefore, under the circumstances, he hoped his worship would dismiss the summons.— Mr Combe expressed his regret that such a case had not been settled out of court, as it would have been much better for both parties. However, he must take the evidence as he found it, and there being no contradiction to the complainant's testimony, he must fine Mr Shepherd SOs, and 2g costs. * WIFE BEATING IN HIGH LIFE.— At the Marylebone police court, on Tuesday, Mr. Thomas Winston, 17, Grove- terrace, St. John's Wood, was charged with a violent assault upon Hen- riette, his wife. Mr. Cooper, from the office of Mr. Cridland, Lincoln's Inn- fields, appeared for the complainant, and iu open- ing the case said that the complainant was married to defendant in 1836, but, in consequence of his gross ill- treatment, she was compelled to separate from him in 1847, when a deed of separa- tion was excuted, by which defendant had agreed to allow her £ 50 a year. Since then be came into possession of con- siderable property, and complainant, who was sufferihg from acute cancer, produced by the brutality of defendant, and find- ing that her means were insufficient to supply her with the necessaries she required, she, by the advice of her friends, de- termined to return to her former home. Accordingly, on the 29th ult., she went to defendant's residence, and, though refused admittance at first, succeeded, and entered the room where defendant at the time was; before she uttered a word he knocked her down and dragged her towards the stairs, threw her down one flight, then took her up in his arms, flung her down another flight, and thrust her into the street.— Mrs. Winston was examined, aud her evidence was iu accordauce with the above statement, aud she said that her husband was now worth £ 800 a year.— Mrs. Elizabeth Pethiek said she ac- companied Mrs. Winston to 17, Grove- terrace, and went with her to defendant's apartments in the house, and saw the assault complained of. Mrs. Winston was much hurt, and had to be conveyed home in a cab. When Mrs. Winston entered his room she had said nothing before her husband struck her. When the servant of the house saw the assault she said to de- fendant, " Pray don't, you'll kill her."— Caroline E. Carr said she saw Mrs. Winston after the assault, and her arm was severely bruised.— The defendant said his wife had no right to molest him, he had used no more violence than was necessary to eject her. He called Harriet Chapman, servant in the house where defendant lodged, who said defendant told her not to allow aDy female to come to his apartments, and accordingly when Mrs. Winston came witness refused to admit her; but Mrs. Winstoii pushed by her, and went upstairs. Witness was not in the room during the interview. She is certain that com- plaiuant " slid" and was not " hurled" downstairs as had been stated, and Mr. Winston then merely pushed her into the street. — Mr. Long fined the defendant 20s. and costs. DOG STEALING.— At Marylebone, on Tuesday, John Shepherd was charged with stealing a Skye terrier, the property of John Taylor, Esq, Leinster- gardens, Bayswater, and also with violently assaulting police constable Hayes, 307 D. Some details having been stated, the prisoner said fee did not steal the dog. Mr Long considered that the two charges had been made out, and for the stealing of the dog sentenced the prisoner to two months in the House of Correction, under the Bishop's Act, and for the assault on the policeman fined him 20s, or 14 days. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.— We believe we shall not be far wrong in anticipating that Parliament will meet on the 1st or 3d of December.— Morning Post. SBRIOUS RIOT AT LUBGAN.— On Friday afternoon a mob, composed of weavers, attacked the power- loom factory of James Malcolm, Esq, of Lurgan, county Armagh. Being driven off by the police, they commenced to demolish the windows of his private residence. Several shots were fired, aud several persons wounded, though not dangerously. Several arrests have been made up to ten p. m. by the police. The town is quiet now. The origin of the attack is ascribable to the fact of Mr Malcolm's employes being put on half- time. Loss OF THE DUNBAB.— It is with deep regret that we have to record the total loss of the magnificent clipper ship Dunbar, Captain James Green, which left Gravesend on the 24th of May and Plymou: h on the 30th of that month for Sydney. Only one seaman out of a total of 140 persons on board is reported as having escaped. The Dunbar was one of the fine fleet of Mr Duncan Dun bar, of Limehouse, engaged in the Australian trade, carryingtfirst- class cabin passengers and a very limited num- ber of second- class. The following is a list of the passengers, among whom were many old colonists returning home :— Chief cabin; Mr and Mrs A0 Meyer and six children, Miss J. Wake, Mr and Mrs K. Waller and six children, Miss S. Fother- gill, Miss E. King, Mr C. Troughton, Mr andMrsMylne, Misses A. and E. Mylne, Mr A. D. James, Mr F. Tindal, Mr C. David- son, Mr and Mrs Cuhnac, Mrs Egan, son, and daughter, Mr. Simmons, Mr M'Quold, Mr and Mrs Peek, Mr Downey, Misses Hunt ( 2), Mr Levein, Miss Logan and two Masters Logan, and Mr Cuthbert.— Intermediate: Mrs Debell, Mrs J. Berry, Miss Graham, Messrs W. Byron, J. Holl, Wiesmer, E. Hill, W. Beach, Mr and Mrs Clark and two children, Mr and Mrs Saint, Mrs Brown and child, MrsAunan and three children, Mr and Mrs Healing and three children, aud Mr and Mrs Strange.— Aus- tralian and New Zealand Gazette. THE PANOBAMA, LEICESTEE- SQUABE, AND THE STRAND THEATBE, AT THE AUCTION MABT.— On Thursday Mr Robins offered to public competition, at the Auction Mart, the leasehold premises so well known as the Panorama, Leicester- square, and the Strand Theatre; the former held for an unexpired term of 33 years, at a ground rent of £ 137 per annum, and the latter for an unexpired term of six years, at £ 250 per annum, and let for an unexpired term of six years, at an annual rent of £ 785; also the room at Camden Town, for painting the panoramas, yielding £ 39 7s 4d per annum, producing altogether a profit rent of £ 439 7s 4d per annum. The first offer made was £ 3,000, and the bids reached £ 5,400. The property was then bought in at the reserved price of £ 5,900. . ECLIPSES IN 1858.— During the year 1858 there will be two eclipses of the sun and two of the moon, all of which will be visible in Whitehaven. The first, an annular eclipse of the sun, will take place on the 15tli March, and will begin on the earth 31 minutes past 9 a. m., and end 39 minutes past 2 p. m. There will be a total eclipse of the sun September 7,1858. It will begin on the earth 33 minutes past 11 a. m., and end 44 minutes past 4 p. m. There will be two partial eclipses of the moon visible here— the one on February 27 and the other on August 28. A somewhat questionable hit has been levelled at the aristo- cratic diners of the Wellington, in St James's- street, by one of our contemporaries, which might lead many to infer that our youthful nobility were more extravagant than those of other times or of other nations. The price for a recherche Parisian dinner, prepared by a chef from the Tuileries, aud including a choice dessert, for half- a- guinea, can surely not be objected to by those who can afford to pay for it! Compare this with a ques- tionable refection at Blackwall, at Greenwich, or at Richmond; or take Paris, Naples, Munich, or any leading capital of Europe, and the advantage will be clearly in favour of the Parisian din- ner in St James's, setting aside the refinement of all which there surrounds the guest.
