Then, however, came a statement published in the Russian Belgic paper Le Nord, affecting to be taken out of the letter of an English officer, that forty or fifty inhabitants, not mutineers, relying upon English mercy, hoped for pardon, but he was " glad to say they were disappointed." This falsehood, for falsehood it is, and coined in Europe too ( we shall presently show how it originated), has been made the grand pretext for attacks upon England aud Englishmen. We have referred to them in our foreign intelligence. Some of the papers there mentioned are the organs of the priesthood, and English- men are assailed with abuse because they will not be priest- ridden. But the respectable Presse joined in this outcry. It was mU?* 1 to he lamented, The article came from the pen of aii able writer, who we are sure will regret that he was hastily led into an unwarranted censure by an unfounded accusation. We are happy to be able to add that that gentleman having quitted the direction of the Presse, his immediate successor, M. Pauchet, on the very next day ( and even assuming the trath of the statement) vindicated the English from the unjust charge of wanton cruelty, and corroborated his own opinion by that of the Spectateur, another Paris journal, free, like his own, from the domination of those whs seek by any means— falsehood and forgery among the rest— to find an" excuse for vituperating England. We shall now show what is the real origin of the falsehood. The statement on which this charge is made is said to come from a letter of an English officer. It is not only not cor- roborated, but is flatly contradicted by all other letters, and is a perverted translation of that letter which said that " Some hundreds of the inhabitants came in, and were spared, but some sepoy mutineers also asked for mercy, but I am glad to say they were disappointed." The false- hood is in direct contradiction to the very letter, some of the words of which it quotes. The perversion was effected in Europe ; its origin and its object are known. Its author may yet be discovered. ENGLISHMEN SUFFERING AT NAPLES. It might have been hoped that, before now, the news from Naples would inform us that the English Government had done at last what it ought to have done at first, and that the two English engineers captured on board the Cag- liari had been either fairly tried and released, or released without trial. No such thing. Lord Palmerston contents himself with uttering speeches which our allies get offended at, and which do but make us the ridicule of all other na- tions; for they show the spirit of boasting which is accom- nied by conduct the most submissive. England now sub- mits to be insulted and wronged in the persons of her peaceful and industrious subjects. A worse kind of wrong could hardly be inflicted on the country; but it is borne with the most edifying gentleness. England is, above all things, a commercial country; its citizens are spread all over the world— they are entitled to the protection of that Government which they maintain ; but they receive it not. There is not a petty despot but will bully them at his plea- sure, provided only that he is of a European royal family. He is peculiarly safe if he is in any manner blessed with German connections. To compel him, then, to do justice to honest, innocent, hardworking Englishmen, is entirely out of the question. What has within the last two years been the " policy " of the British Government towards the despot of Naples ? It has been that of supporting him in playing his game of despotism. Whatever may have been its intention, that has been its result. Lord Clarendon seems quite incapable of doing anything good or spirited till after all the newspapers have informed him what he ought to do, and taught him how to do it. In the meantime he commits himself most wofully. In the affairs of Naples it was clear that we ought not to have fol- lowed the course of French diplomacy. The reasons for action and the necessities of the two countries were different. That the French Government thought fit to withdraw its re- presentative was no reason why we should withdraw ours. Had a military and naval coercion of Ferdinand been in- tended, the union of the two Governments would have been well enough. That union would then have accomplished its object without the necessity of firing one shot, for Ferdinand would have known that to resist France and England was impossible, to pretend to resist them ridiculous. But when no determination to apply coercion had been come to, the union of the two Governments in withdrawing their diplomatic representatives was absurd. We have said that their reasons for action were different; their ac- tions ought also to have been different. We had no dynastic purposes to answer, but we had a large body of English citizens and a fair amount of English commerce to protect. We should have kept our diplomatist there ; we might then have kept the wretched Government in check in some small degree, as we ought to have left no doubt on the mind of the Neapolitan despot that we would not suffer that diplomatist to be ( as he had been not long before) wantonly insulted, nor any English subject to be wronged. This reso- lution should have been backed by the presence of a squad- No remonstrances of any power pretending to be friendly ( but acting very like the snake that was warmed in the oountryman's bosom) should have had the^ lightest effect on turning us from this course. The man who shows him- self determined to have justice done him is respected; if by the wily ways of any pretended friend he is diverted from so laudable a purpose he is but despised. We have been diverted from our proper coarse through Austrian interfer- ence, and we are despised. The foreign journals never men- tion England and Naples without a laugh and a sneer for us. But, what is worse, here are two innocent Englishmen in- carcerated for months in loathsome dungeons, when even the Neapolitan Government cannot put into language the pretence of a charge against them. The opinions of the best lawyers in Naples have been taken upon this matter by some private Englishmen, and they establish that even the despotic law of that country has been violated to make the sufferings of the two Englishmen the worse. And four months are allowed to pass away, and our Government has a good squadron in the Mediterranean, and a brave and skilful commander at its head, and yet allows this wrong upon Englishmen. Lord Clarendon is, indeed, bringing humiliation upon England and ridicule upon Lord Palmerston, who will soon be known as Civis Romanus, with no sense but that of contempt attached to the epithet MR H.

In our last we gave all the telegrams that had been re- ceived anticipatory of the Overland Mail. The detailed accounts contain very little extra information; but us every incident in connection with Indian affairs is now of import- ance, we lay before our readers such portions of the details as appear to us most interesting. The following despatches from General Wilson and General Chamberlain at Delhi were published in the London Gzette on Saturday week :— " HEA ® QUARTERS, FIELD FORCE, " DELHI, SEPT 15th, 1857. " To CAPTAIN H. W. NORMAN, ASSISTANT ADJUTANT- GENERAL OF THE AKMY. SIR : I have the high satisfaction of reporting, for the information of the Major- General commanding in the upper provinces, and through him of his Excellency the Commander- in- Chief and of Government, that on the morniag of the 14th instant, the force under my command successfully assaulted the city of Delhi. Under the present circumstances, Major- General Gowan will, I trust, allow me to withhold for a time a full and com- plete detail of the operations from their commencement to their close, and to limit myself to a summary of events. After six days of open trenches, during which the Artil- lery and Engineers, under their respective commanding officers, Major Gaitskell and Lieutenant- Colonel Baird Smith, vied with each other in pressing forward the work, two excellent and most practicable breaches were formed in the walls of the place, one in the curtain to the right of the Cashmere bastion, the other to the left of the Water bastion, the defences of those bastions and the parapets giving mus- ketry cover to the enemy commanding the breaches, having also been destroyed by the artillery. " The assault was delivered on four points. The 1st Column under Brigadier J. Nicholson, consisting of her Majesty's 75th Regiment ( 300 men), the 1st European Bengal Fusi- liers ( 200 men), and the 2d Punjab Infantry ( 450 men), assaulted the main breach, their advance being admirably covered by the 1st Battalion, her Majesty's 60th Rifles, under Colonel J. Jones. The operation was crowned with brilliant success, the enemy after severe resistance being driven from the Cashmere bastion, the main guard, and its vicinity, in complete rout. " The 2d Column, under Brigadier Jones, of her Majesty's 61st Regiment, consisting of her Majesty's 8th Regiment ( 250 men), the 2d European Bengal Fusiliers ( 250 men), and the 4th Regiment of Sikhs ( 350 men), similarly covered by the 60th Rifles, advanced on the Water bastion, carried the breach, and drove the enemy from his gun3 and position, with a determination and spirit which gave me the highest satisfaction. " The 3d Column, under Colonel Campbell, of her Ma- jesty's 52d Light Infantry, consisting of 200 of his own regi- ment, the Kemaoon battalion ( 250 men), and the 1st Punjab Infantry ( 500 men), was directed against the Cashmere gateway. This column was preceded by an explosion party, under Lieuts. Home and Salkeld, of the Engineers, covered by the 60th Rifles. The demolition of the gate having been accomplished, the Column forced an entrance, overcoming a strenuous opposition from the enemy's infantry and heavy artillery, which had been brought to bear on the position. I cannot express too warmly my admiration of the gallantry of all concerned in this difficult operation. " The reserve, under Brigadier Longfield, her Majesty's 8th Regiment, composed of her Majesty's 61st Regiment ( 250 men), the 4th Regiment Rifles ( 450 men), the Belooch Battalion ( 300 men), the Jheend Rajah's Auxiliaries ( 300 ' Mlft KA* Msiaoftr'a fiflfV, Pitloa TT'IIn minofl aftpr fantry, doing duty ; Lieutenant Davidson, 26th Native Infantry, and 1,178 killed and wounded beine nearlv one- third nf thn srwsr sss£ ssr^ r^ 1 S- S.

INDIA- FALSEHOOD TOLD OF THE ENGLISH AT DELHI. It might be expected that the conduct of the English in India would be misrepresented. They who rejoiced over the mutinies of - the sepoys, and welcomed it as the first step in the " rapidly descending path of English dominion in India," were of course certain to bewail the fate of the sepoys when they should be conquered in battle. At first the sufferings of the English were denied, then they were glossed over, then they were represented as a punishment from Heaven for our irreligion, the pious Ultramontanists being quite ready to associate God with the butcheries by the Hindoos rather than not have him on their side at all Having done all these things, and having found that the public opinion of the civilised and Christian world was against them, they assumed a discreet silence, and waited till news should arrive of a victory that would give English soldiers the opportunity of vengeance. Trusting to their old habits of misrepresentation, they relied on their being able to find out something which would give them an opportunity for attack. The storming of Delhi occurred. The writers in the French papers know as well as any one that in no instance does a town that has been stormed exhibit overabundant examples of forbearingness on the part of the victors. Yet many of these towns are held to the last by soldiers alone, who have often little or no sympathy with the inhabitants, and are sometimes entirely hostile to them. Still the in- habitants of such a town suffer severely if their town is carried by storm. In Delhi it was reasonable to presume that the persons there shut up were of one mind. They were of one race, of one creed ( at least as opposed to the English), they appeared to desire a renewal of Indian sovereignty, and they do not appear, though the immense extent of the town gave them ample opportunities of doing so with safety, to have opened, covertly or otherwise, any correspondence with the English commander. So far, therefore, they appeared the friends and abettors of the mutineers. Now, those mutineers had wantonly committed atrocities outvy- ing in number and grossness all that had before dis- figured tbe dark pages of history. Many of their victims, children deprived of hands and without eyes, are now in this country. They had treacherously mur- dered men whom by fair representations they induced to Q& C RET SORROW!

The Times of Thursday begins one of its leading articles thus :— " An article appeared a few days since in these columns, calling attention to a most improper agreement between the British Government and that of Austria, respecting a line of telegraph to be constructed lrom Ragusa, through Corfu, to Alexandria. It had been stipulated, we said, that if Austria would make this line, all the communications of the British Government and of the East India Company should be forwarded exclusively by it in perpetuity. A contradiction appeared in au evening paper which did not touch the matter, and was, in fact, evasive. It is most certain, we are sorry to say, that a conven- tion has been made by which ' Her Britannic Majesty's Government gives the assurance that their telegraphic corre- spondence and that of the East Iudia Company shall be exclu- sively carried on by the telegraph iine of Alexandria and Corfu, and that as long as the liue is open they will never themselves open a line in competition in that direction.' " The original statement was startling. Men were unwilling to believe it. They desired to think that there was some mistake. The Globe dispelled this unwillingness by an evasive answer, the effect of which was, that messages from Corfu to England were not to come exclusively by the Austrian telegraph. The form of the denial looked like the mountain; the produce of it was the mouse. In truth, The Times was right, and it has returned to its charge, which has been rendered only the more effective by this attempt at an evasive answer. Is it possible to conceive any bargain more absurd in prin- ciple or in practice than this ? If it is to bind England for ever, what are its results ? A state of war will not relieve us from it. War itself will not put an end to the contract, not even war with Austria, so that we should be bound while in hostility with that power to have our telegraphic messages despatched through wires passing along the territory, and subject to the control of the Austrian Government. " So long as the line is open," the English Government proposes to bind itself: that is the sole condition of the bargain, and it is one which the Austrian Government will take good care to 3ee fulfilled. The benefits direct and indirect of its fulfilment are too great to leave that matter in doubt. A shorter and bet- ter course may be discovered— that matters not, the English Government is bound. The Austrian Government might think fit to require that each message should take a " rest" at each railway or telegraphic station, and not be sent on at once to the greatest possible distance from the starting point — no matter— the line would be open, and the contract must be fulfilled. No matter what experience may show to be necessary, what improved science may show to be possible, what our wants may require, and what British skill and enterprise and foreign favour may enable us to obtain; " so long as the line is open," we must reject all these advantages, and give an eternity of monopoly to Austria. Have we forgotten the Crimea already ? Does not every one remember how quickly the Austrian telegraph brought us the news chat our cavalry had been destroyed at Balaklava, but how long were we before we were permitted to have any consolation in the knowledge of the glorious bravery of the troops for the hopeless stupidity which had sacrificed them ? We were quickly told of the evil, the extenuating circumstances were not allowed to find their way to us until long afterwards. A Govern- ment that, as a governmental rule, insists on tampering with the Post Office, may well be expected to tamper with the telegraph. In every way is the bargain an improper one. It estab- lishes a monopoly where none is needed, it discourages efforts now made to lay down a more convenient line of telegraph, it offends other powers to please Austria alone, it presumptuously supposes that science can never do more than it does now, and binds England to accept for ever, " so long as the line is open," a mode of transmitting intelligence which in some few years may be far exceeded in value by newer inventions, and it endeavours, so far as the Govern- ment can effect that object, to prevent improvement by men), and 200 of her Majesty's 60th Rifles, who joined after the assault had been made, awaited the result of the attack, and on the cslumns entering the place, took possession of the posts I had previously assigned to it. This duty was ultimately performed to my entire satisfaction. " The firm establishment of the reserve rendering the as- saulting columns free to act in advance Brigadier- General Nicholson, supported by Brigadier Jones, swept the ramparts of the place from the Cashmere to the Cabul gates, occupying the bastions and defences, capturing the guns, and driving the enemy before him. " During the advance Brigadier- General Nicholson was, to the grief of myself and the whole army, dangerously wounded. The command consequently devolved on Briga- dier Jones, who, finding the enemy in great force, occupying and pouring a destructive fire from the roofs of strong and commanding houses in the city on all sides, the ramparts themselves being enfiladed by guns, prudently resolved on retaining possession of the Cabul gate, which his troops had so gallantly won, in which he firmly established him- self, awaiting the result of the operations of the other columns of occupation. " Colonel Campbell, with the column under his command, advanced successfully from the Cashmere gate by one of the main streets beyond the " Chandnee Chouk," the central and principal street of the city towards the Jumma Musjid, with the intention of occupying that important post. The opposition, however, which he met from the great concen- tration of the enemy, at the Jumma Musjid and the houses in the neighbourhood, he himself, I regret to state, being wounded, satisfied him that his most prudent course was not to maintain so advanced a position with the comparatively limited force at his disposal, and he accordingly withdrew the heed of his column and placed himself in communication with the reserve, a measure which had my entire approval; I having previously determined that, in the event of serious opposition being encountered in the town itself, it would be most inexpedient to commit my small force to a succession of street fights, in which their gallantry, discipline, and orga- nisation could avail them so little. " My present position, therefore, is that which, under such a contingency, I had resolved to occupy and establish myself in firmly as the base of my systematic operations for the complete possession of the city. This embraces the maga- zine on one side, and the Cabul gate on the other, with the Moree, Cashmere and Water bastions, and strong interme- diate posts with secure communication along the front and to the rear. " From this base I am now cautiously pressing the enemy on all points, with a view to establishing myself in a second advanced position, and I trust before many days to have it in my power to announce to the Supreme Government, that the enemy have been driven from their last stronghold in the palace, fort and streets of the city of Delhi. " Simultaneously with the operations above detailed, an atlack was made on the enemy's strong position outside the city, in the suburbs of Kissengunge and Pahareepore, with a view of driving in the rebels, and supporting the main attack by effecting an entrance at the Cabul gate after it should be taken. " The force employed on this difficult duty I entrusted to that admirable officer, Major C. Reid, commanding the Sirmoor battalion, whose distinguished conduct I have ialready had occasion to bring prominently to the notice of superior authority, and who was, I much regret, severely wounded on this occasion. His column consisted of his own battalion, the Guides, and the men on duty at Hindoo Rao' ( the main picket), numbering in all about 1,000, supported by the auxiliary troops of his Highness the Maharajah Rumbeir Singh, under Captain R, Lawrence. " The strength of the positions, however, and the despe- rate resistance offered by the enemy, withstood for a time the efforts of our troops, gallant though they were, and the combination was unable to be effected. The delay, I am happy to say, has been only temporary, for the enemy have subsequently abandoned their positions, leaving their guns in our hands. ^ SateS**^ " In this attack I found it necessary to support Major Reid with Cavalry and Horse Artillery, both of which arms were admirably handled respectively by Brigadier Hope Grant, of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, commanding the Cavalry Brigade, and Major H. Tombs, of the Horse Artil- lery, who inflicted severe punishment on the enemy, though I regret their own loss was very heavy. " The resistance of the rebels up to this time has been that of desperate men, and to this must be attributed the severe loss we have sustained, amounting proximately, so far as I am able to judge in the absence of casualty returns, to 46 officers killed and wounded, and about 800 men. Amongst those of whose services the State has been de- prived, are many officers of distinction and merit, holding superior commands, whose places cannot be supplied; and I have specially to lament the loss which has been sustained by that splendid corps, the Engineers, nine officers of that arm having fallen in the gallant performance of their duty. " Until I am in possession of reports from brigadiers and other commanding officers, I shall be unable to enter more fully into the details of these operations, and I trust the cir- cumstances under which I write will excuse any slight inac- curacies or imperfections which my despatch may exhibit. " The absence of such reports also prevents my bringing to notice the names of those officers and men who have specially distinguished themselves. This will be my grateful duty hereafter. But I cannot defer the expression of my admiration for the intrepidity, coolness, and determination of all engaged, Europeans and natives, of all arms of the service. Metge, H.

During the night we advanced our left up to Abbott's house, and also Khan Mahomed's house. This gives us a strong position up to within 150 yards of the palace walls. All our mortars are bearing upon Jumma Musjid and the southern part of the town, which is being fast evacuated, the resistance becoming much less on our right; we are also progressing by working through the house*. The King and royal family are said to have evacuated the place and gone to the old fort outside the city to the south. Our very small number makes it necessary to be cautious in taking possession of so large a city, for the great number we have of sick and wounded, and our loss on the day of the assault, have reduced us very much. This was too late to be sent yesterday. " N. CHAMBERLAIN." The special correspondent of the Daily News, describing tbe storming of Delhi and other incidents of the muti- nies, says:— " At four a. m. the different columns fell in, and were marched to their respective places, the heads of Nos. 1, 2, and 3 polumn3 being kept concealed until the moment for the actual assault should arrive. The signal was to be the advance of the Rifles to the front to cover the heads of the columns by skirmishing. Everything being ready, General Nicholson, whose excellent arrangements elicited the admi- ration of all, gave the signal, and the Rifles dashed to the front with a cheer, extending along and skirmishing the low jungle, which at this point extends to within fifty yards of the ditch. At the same moment the heads of No. 1 and 2 columns emerged from the Koedsee Bagh and advanced steadily towards the breach. Our batteries had maintained a tremendous fire up to the moment of the advance of the troops, and not a gun could the enemy bring to bear on the storming columns, but no sooner did these emerge into the open than a perfect hailstorm of bullets met them from the front and both flanks, and officers and men tell fast on the crest of the glacis. For ten minutes it was impossible to get the ladders down into the ditch to ascend the escarp, but the determination of the British soldier carried all before it, and Pandy declined to meet the charge of the British bayonet. With a shout and a rush the breaches were both won, and the enemy fled in confusion. " Meanwhile, the explosion party advanced in front of the third column straight upon tbe Cashmere gate. This little band of heroes ( for they were no leas) had to advance in broad daylight to the gateway, in the very teeth of a hot fire of musketry from above and through the gateway, and on ( both flanks, the powder- bags were coolly laid and adjusted, but Lieutenant Salkeld was by this time hors de combat with two bullets in him. Sergeant Carmichael then at- The rebel sepoys fled from Delhi in two directions. Many thousands of them, with a few light guns, following the right bank of the Jumna, reached Muttra on the 24th, 25th, and 26th of September, and on the 2d of October partly crossed the river into the Doab, with the intention of passing into Oude. The Nusseerabad and Bareilly brigades, comprising all that remain of the Rohilcund troops, took this direction, whilst the Neemuch and Kotah men, leaving Muttra, moved to Furrah, on the road to Futtehpore Sikree, with the view of either joining the Indore mutineers on the Cbumbul at Dholpore or crossing the Jumna lower down. " Smaller detachments, crossing the Jumna at Delhi, during the progress of the assault, made their way to Poo- lundshuhur, where the Jhansi and Nougong mutineers have for some time been stationed. A small party took the direction of Allighur, and succeeded in mastering our newly- appointed authorities at that place, forcing at the same time the small Agra column from Hatrass back to Kerowlee. On the 23d a column of British troops, numbering 1,600 infantry, 600 cavalry, and three troops of horse artillery, under Colonel Greathed, of her Majesty's 8th, crossed the bridge over the Jumna, at Delhi, and rapidly marched downed the road to Boolundshuhur. Colonel Greathed came upon the Jhansi rebels at Boolundshuhur and de- feated them on the 27th September. He found their posi- tion strong, but nevertheless attacked it, drove the rebels through the town, and took from them one 9- pounder and one 3- pounder gun, much ammunition, and baggage. They left upwards of 100 dead on the field, and were seen to carry off many killed and wounded. Our loss was sixty killed and wounded, amongst the latter the follow- ing officers :— Captain Best, 8th Cavalry; Lieutenant Sarel and Cornet Blair, 9th Lancers; and Lieut Edgeworth, 8th Foot, all severely. Captain Drysdale, 9th Lancers, was severely hurt by the fall of his horse, who was shot under him. On the 28th Colonel Greathed sent out a party of cavalry to take the fort of Malaghur, which the enemy had evacuated. Some of the rebels went in the direction of Meerut. and have penetrated into the Moozuffernuggur dis- trict. In the meanwhile the little garrison of Meerut has not been idle, as the following letter of September 19th testifies :— " ' At midnight, ou the 17th, Major Stokes and Lieutenant Arm- strong, with 210 Alfghan andMooltan Horse, accompanied by Captain Craigie, with about 100 irregular cavalry, went out on a secret expedition along the Delhi road. At sunrise on the fol- lowing morning they surrounded the village of Tooradnuggur, about half way between Meerut and Delhi, where the enemy's cavalry have established themselves in force. Secretly as every- thing was arranged, the enemy were not completely' taken by surprise. Some 200 of them were ready mounted outside the village, and the remainder defended the place from inside ; how- ever, after hard fighting, the enemy were defeated and driven out of the village, and the place burnt; 57 of their number were cut up, and several taken prisoners. Our people had nine killed aud wounded, amongst the number, I am sorry to say, was Lieutenant Armstrong, who received three severe sword cuts, but is doing well.' " From the north- west of Delhi we learn that General Van Cortlandthas left Hansi, and reached Bowannee, a consider- able city south- west of Rhotuck, where British authority has been restored. It appears uncertain whether Jumaulpore, west of Hansi, has been taken. It was strongly garrisoned by upwards of 1,700 rebels from Delhi and men of the 60th and 5th Bengal N. I., fugitives from Umballah. They had with them three guns, one 12- pounder howitzer, one 6 and one 3- pounder; and had not been attacked up to the 12th of September. On the 20th the fall of Delhi was known at Bikaneer, and celebrated by a royal salute. " The state of the Punjab is unsatisfactory, but the preda- tempted to fire the hose, but was shot dead.

" CITY OF DELHI, SEPT 18, 1857. " FROM THE ADJUTANT- GENERAL OF THE ARMY TO THE OFFICER COMMANDING AT CAWNPORE. " SIR : On the afternoon of the 14th I despatched a messenger to you, intimating the success of the assault on Delhi, which took place that morning, and that we held from the Cabul gate to the College; since then we have pushed on, and now occupy from the Cabul gate along tbe line of the canal, with our left holding the bank which opens on the Chandnee Chouk. The magazine was breached during tbe 15th, and taken by assault at daybreak on the 16th. You will understand from this that the mutineers occupy the Burn bastion, and all that portion of the city to its south, excepting the bank; they also still occupy the palace and Selimgurh, and have a camp pitched outside, near the Aj mere gate. The palace wall will be breached as soon as we attain a suitable site for our battery, which we have not yet acquired. Our mortars have been brought into the town and are shelling the palace. The guns taken on the works have also been turned upon the portions of the town which are in possession of the mutineers, and we are gra- dually pressing forwards. The usual license which inva- riably accompanies an assault of a large city has somewhat retarded our advance, but order is fast beiDg restored. At first the mutineers offered obstinate resistance, but they gess then tried and succeded, but paid for the daring act with his life. Sergeant Smith, thinking that Burgess, too, had failed, ran forward, but seeing the train alight, had just time to throw himself into the ditch and escape the effects of the explosion. With a loud crash the gateway was blown in, and through it the 3d column rushed to the assault and entered the town just as the other columns had won the breaches. General Wilson has since bestowed the Victoria Cross on Lieutenants Home and Salkeld, on Sergeant Smith, and on a brave man of her Majesty's 52d, who stood by Lieutenant Salkeld to the last, and bound up his wounds. " General Nicholson then formed the troops in the main guard inside, and with his column proceeded to clear the ram] » arts as far as tbe Moree bastion. It was in advancing beyond this towards the Lahore gate that he met the wound which has since caused his lamented death, a death which it is not too much to say has dimmed the lustre of even this victory, as it has deprived the country of one of the noblest men and the most gallant soldiers that England anywhere numbers among our ranks. The 4th column, I regret to say, failed, but as it was too far for me to know anything of its real progress, I prefer leaving its story to be told by another instead of sending you a vague and imperfect ac- count. Had this column succeeded, its possession of the Lahore gate would have saved us much subsequent trouble. " The success of three assaulting columns being complete, by ten o'clock the staff was in the city. The church of St James, built by the late Colonel Skinner, was occupied on entering by the general commanding and his staff. Her Majesty's 60th Rifles occupied the colonel's family house near the church; her Majesty's 61st the magazine; the 4th Sikh Infantry the college and Ahmed Ali Khan's house; and the Beeloch battalion and Jheed Rajah's force, the Main Guard. " The buddings in the neighbourhood of the Cashmere gate afforded excellent quarters for the troops, as well as capital cover. The people of the city came into camp and sought protection from the army, craving pardon, and dis- avowing all participation in the rebellion, saying that they were compelled to remain prisoners in the city, and denying having taken any active part in the insurrection. They were told to prove their loyalty by removing the bodies of the dead sepoys, which work they at once commenced, and were clearing the city of them apparently with right good- will. It was a necessary labour; for heaps of mangled bodies covered the ground in all directions, on the roads and in ruined houses. The city, as far as we had gone, exhibited little else but ruins, from the midst of which helpless women, unmolested, it is said, by our soldiers, rushed frantic and wild. Dogged resistance still met us in the narrow thorough- fares in which our troops fought from house to house. Forty and fifty men were sometimes found congregated in one build- ing, and of these, when encountered, our soldiers spared no single soul. In this street warfare, the arrangement of guns and mortars to shell the magazine, palace, and Selimghur, the 15th of September passed. The magazine you already know was stormed on the 16th without loss, and its appearance strangely contradicted the stories afloat curing the siege respecting the want of percussion- caps and fuses. On the 17th a new and yet more advanced position was occupied in the Delhi Bank on the left, whilst the sappers on the right slowly held their way towards the Burn bastion, which with the Lahore gate still held out against us. The Delhi Bank was not won without some hard fighting, but, once occupied, was obstinately maintained, as it faced the west front of tbe palace and Selimghur. In the marble walls of the former, as well as the massive old works of the latter, the enemy still held out, playing occasionally from guns and keeping up a continual fire of musketry, whilst along the streets leading into the Chadnee Chowk was heard that dropping sound of musketry which tells of irregular and partial fighting,. It was evident, however, that resistance must soon cease, for bodies of rebels were frequently seen escaping from the city, either over the Jumna into the Doab, or through the southern gates towards Muttra. All day and night, and again during the 18th, our shells fell thick into the palace and Selimghur, which it was not thought necessary to storm. Their fire indeed had now completely ceased, but the Burn bastion was still defended, and an assault on the Lahore gate failed, Captain Briscoe, of her Majesty's 75th, losing his life in the affair. On tbe 19th the line of the Chadnee Chowk was given up to us by the enemy, and our sappers having made their way up to the Burn bastion, that was also carried without loss. The shelling still continued in the direction of the palace, aud fire was directed generally upon the Jumma Musjid and the southern half of the city. Then it was that the mutineers gave up the defence as hopeless. They abandoned the city during the night, and evacuated their camp near the Delhi gate, leaving behind them all their wounded, and blowing up their magazine. A steady fire of mortars had been kept up till daylight ( 20th), when the Lahore gate was occupied without oppo- sition, the Ajmeer gate and outworks were secured without loss, the palace, Jumma Musjid, Selimghur, the bridge— all Delhi, in fact, taken. The King and his family had fled, tbe townspeople hurried in crowds from the city, and the victorious army of General Wilson occupied the ruins of Delhi. " South of the city lie the remains of old Delhi, memorials of a dynasty now destined to expire. Conspicuous amongst them is tbe tomb of Humaioon, one of the Moguls who re- established himself on a throne from which he had been ex- pelled, and restored tbe kingdom of Delhi in all its splendour. This tomb stands in the centre of an enclosure, on the sum- mit of a platform, supported on every side by arcades, and ascended by four flights of steps. Each arcade serves as a receptacle for one or more tombs. Tbe mausoleum of the sovereign rises from the platform in tbe shape of a square with a cupola, all inlaid with white marble. Beneath this dome is a large apartment, in the centre of which a white marhle sar- cophagus contains the ashes of Humaioon. Around it, in suitable recesses, are tbe remains of his relatives and most favourite retainers. Here, to the tomb of their ancestors, came, in their flight from Delhi, Meerza Mogul, Mirza Riza Sultan, and Mirza Aboo Bukur, the two suns and grandson of the King. Here they were taken from their at- tendants by Hodson and his Irregulars, and shot on the steps of the edifice. Their bodies, carried to Delhi, were exposed in the Kotwallee ( Sept 21). " The aged King, with his Begum, Zeenat Mahal, took had to deal with. Still they have given our detachments between Mooltan and Lahore much trouble. The first in- telligence of the rising of the tribes reached Mooltan and Lahore on the 16th of September. Simultaneous gatherings had taken place in the Baree Doab between the Sutlej and the Ravee, and in the Reechna Doab between the Ravee and Chenaub. Marauders of the Khatti and Khurl tribes plundered Huruppa, on the Ravee, and other stations on the road between Mooltan and Googaira. These Khattias and Khurls, who are inhabitants of the Jungh- Bar, are nomads, and live on tbe produce of their herds. Their chief, Ahmed Khan Khurl, and his son, were on the eve of an outbreak at the time of the rising in Googaira jail towards the end of last July, but, being close watched, lost their opportunity. Since Sir John Lawrence was forced to denude the Punjab of troops, a bold step which gave us Delhi, Ahmed Khan Khurl has watched for an opportunity to rise, and, unfortunately for himself, carried out his intentions about the middle of September. " Major Chamberlain and Captain Fraser, with 180 irregu- lars of the 1st Punjabee Regiment, marched from Mooltan to Huruppa, and fell in with a party of insurgents on the Ravee, Cheechawutny. An obstinate engagement ensued, in which the numbers of the enemy were too great for suc- cessful resistance, and Major Chamberlain took refuge ' - serai ( stone edifice), with his force, where he defended him- self successfully, though suffering much from shortness of provisions. The marauders in the meanwhile crossed the Ravee and plundered Kumalia, on the right bank. Rein- forcements soon after reached Major Chamberlain, who again engaged the rebels and killed 60 of them. " A second party from Mooltan, consisting of 100 horse- men, under Major Voyle and Captain Tronson, was sent simultaneously to the southward, struck the Sutlej between Sahooka and Jumlera, and was attacked at the former place by upwards of 1,000 marauders. Major Voyle soon repulsed these disorderly masses by a steady fire from his cavalry and levies. He then attacked Jumlera itself, burnt the village, and seized the mules and cattle belonging to the tribe. " At Googaira, on the Ravee, Capt Elphinstone, Deputy Commissioner, having received accurate information on the 20th inst, that Ahmed Khan Khurl and his men had taken refuge about twelve miles distant from that station, a party of the Punjab police, horse and foot, under Capt S. Black, a detachment of Capt Wales's Sikh cavalry under Lieut the Hon F. Chichester, and of the Googaira levy under Lieut Mitchell, were forthwith ordered against him, and the result, after a somewhat severe fight, was that the Khurls were cut up, Ahmed Khan himself and his son being among the killed. This petty outbreak has thus received its death blow, it is hoped. '' Ahmed Khan and his followers are said to have fought stoutly, and Capt Black and Lieut Chichester to have been surrounded more than once during the melee, the country being by no means favourable for the action of cavalry. Our loss was rather severe considering the small number of men engaged. About ten killed, but particulars not yet received. " Our successes on tbe left bank of the Ganges were not confined to Oude. You may recollect that 3,000 Ghoorkas, encamped at Gorruckpore in August, were ordered to Benares. They marched by Jaunpore. Two thousand of them escorting treasure reached Benares, whilst the re- mainder, being the Shcre regiment of Ghoorkas, under Captain Boileau, with Lieutenants Wynyard, Venables, Dunbar, and Haig, and Dr Wright, marched to Azimghur. This town, which was said to have been abandoned, was still held by a small force under Captain G. W. Biden, large parties of rebels hovering about to the south and eastward of it. Captain Biden took advantage of the reinforcement he received to attack a large body of insurgents at Nundowlee, near Mundree, a town within ten miles of Azimghur. The rebels had three guns, at sight of which the Ghoorkas broke into five columns, and advancing steadily, charged and carried them. The rebels hardly waited for the attack, but fled in less than ten minutes after the first shot was fired, leaving their guns behind them. They were pursued for three miles into jungles, their loss being between 150 and 200 killed. Of theGhoorkas two were killed and 26 wounded. This action was fought on the 20th of September. Mooba- ruckpore, ten miles south of Azimghur, next fell into our hands, as well as Atrowleea, a fort, 25 miles north- west of Azimghur, on the road to Sultanpore. This fort was held by two rajahs, Madho and Madho- Persaud, who escaped from us in the night. These energetic operations decided likewise the fate of Mahowl, a fort east of Azimghur, whose rajah took to flight when he heard of our successes. Thus the honour of our arms is being retrieved in the eastern division of tbe province of Allahabad. Chupra is no longer threatened. Benares is quite safe, and we may now devote our time there to the long- projected preparation of ammunition carts and army stores." A military correspondent of tbe same journal, writing from Calcutta on tbe 8th October, says:— " I have at last to record the fall of Delhi and the relic' of Lucknow. Of the former we only know that on thJK^ i General Wilson delivered his assault, and on the 22d was m full possession of the city— those of the insurgents who had escaped the conquering arms of our soldiers fleeing down the right bank of the Jumna in the direction of Agra, which was distant about one hundred miles, were promptly pur- sued by a cavalry brigade under Colonel Greathed. Nothing has been since heard of them. Although a partial com- munication has been re- opened with Agra, it is supposed that they have made their way to Gwalior, where they will be received with open arms by the mutineers of that city. On this head, however, the Bombay mail will necessarily give you much later intelligence than any I can send. In my last I in- formed you that Gen Havelock had commenced crossing the Ganges at Cawnpore on September 17, and that he completed that operation on tbe 19th. He had been previously joined by Sir James Outram, his senior, but that officer, influenced by a feeling of delicacy, declined to assume the command, or in any way to interfere with General Havelock's arrange- ments. He expressed, however, his intention of accom- panying the force as a volunteer, and in that capacity at- tached himself to the Volunteer Cavalry. The heavy guns and baggage attached to the force were crossed over on the 20th, and on the 21st the general prepared to attack the enemy, entrenched a little beyond the old post of Oonao. He had with him about 2,500 men of all arms, a force which he divided into three brigades, two of infantry under Brigadiers Neili and Campbell, and one of artillery under have become less active. The townspeople are flying the city in crowds, and the mutineers themselves are deserting - - . _ . - - in large bodies their cavalrv, it is reported, having almost refuge a few miles further on the same road in the Kootub A incent Eyre.

The following officers killed :— Engineer, ; tL ! - " low appears that our loss during the actual siege was actually led by Sir Jas. Outram. The attack was made on the enemy's front, whilst his right was turned; he very soon fled in confusion, abandoning four guns. The rout was completed by a gallant charge led by Sir James Outram, in which 150 of the enemy were sabred. General Havelock did not allow his force an instant's rest, but pushed on in pursuit of the enemy, marching twenty miles after de- feating them on the 21st, and fourteen on the following day, the enemy abandoning their guns and wounded in their flight. On the 25th he came up to the enemy, strongly In- about 300 men. Oa the day of tbe assault it was 64 officers posted within miles of Luckaow, ia number abort 4 BELL'S LIFE IN- LONDON, NOVEMBER 15, 1857. 14,000; their position seemed impregnable, but Havelock went at it at once, and after a desperate engagement our troops, to the cry, " Remember Cawnpore," carried it. Our loss was severe, numbering 400 men, amongst whom, deeply regretted by all, was the gallant Neill. This officer, it will be remembered, was the first to turn the tide of the insurrec- tion in our favour; he has throughout been foremost in the gallant and useful deeds that have been achieved, and had gained a name during this crisis which will not soon be forgotten. We may be sure that his death will be well avenged. The last accounts from Lucknow are dated 26th September; nothing has reached Calcutta from any one with Havelock's force since then ; but I regret to state that accounts from Cawnpore are not favourable. They inform us that all communication with Lucknow has been cut off, that the enemy has rallied in great force, and that Havelock ia now beleaguered in that city. It is possible that I may have better accounts to send you by to- morrow's packet; but I may here state that it is well known that there are 50,000 men in arms in Oude, led by the Nana Sahib, all animated against us by the most savage hatred ; aud that Maun Singh, up to the last moment neutral, had, on Have- lock's reaching Lucknow, declared against us. These are facts, and, cowardly as these Asiatics have proved them- selves to be, it was not to be expected that 50,000 men would allow themselves to be utterly coerced by 2,000. That Lucknow was relieved at all is due to the vigour and promp- titude with which Havelock followed up his first success, and improved every advantage. I may here note a fact which shows in a strong light the indomitable pluck and cou- rage of the English soldier. No sooner had the rebels received information that Havelock was again crossing the Ganges, than they determined to make a tremendous effort to overpower the garrison. They detached a large body to oppose Havelock near Oonao, and with the remainder of the force attacked our people. They were on the verge of suc- cess ; some of them were actually penetrating into the en- trenchment, when a sudden inspiration seized our men; there were plenty of shells but no mortars ; our men, reck- less of life and resolved to conquer or perish, seized the shells, lighted the fuses, and taking them in their hands hurled them with all their force at the enemy. It is not easy to conquer men who would dare such an action as this. So at least the enemy thought; they fell back awed and cowed, and did not resume the attack that day. Upon Havelock reaching the entrenchment it was found that two mines had been dug underneath it, both readv for the re ception of powder. Another day's delay and the fate of our garrison would have been sealed. No authentic list of the survivors or the killed has yet reached Calcutta, unless it has arrived at Government House. " From Banda, Jubbulpore, and the Saugor andNerbudda territory the news is as bad as it well can be. Koour Sing still holds his head high ; the Nawab of Banda is opposed to us; the 50th and 52d Regiments N. I. have mutinied, leaving but three regiments in the Bengal army true to their colours. The 52d distinguished themselves bv murdering one of their officers under circumstances of, what would have been called before the present outbreak, unexampled bru- tality. The three regiments which have remained staunch are the 31st, the 32d, and the 73d N. I. Of these, the 31st Is reported shaky. The 32d received a lesson from the late Sir Charles Napier, many years ago, which they have not yet forgotten; and the 73d, located at a station where there is no treasure, aad distant from any European troops, have, it is said, announced their intention of remaining loyal so long as they are suffered to continue as they now are, but that the moment they hear of a European force being within fifty miles of them, they will revenge themselves on their European officers. It is not a pleasant situation for these latter, but probably the fall of Delhi will not be with- out due effect upon them. Behar is still fermenting, although all fears of an outbreak have vanished. The two columns of European and Madras troops, under the commands of Col Fisher and Major English, have been- successful in several skirmishes; but it is to be hoped that they will not allow the 5th Irregular Cavalry, already gorged with booty, to escape without receiving some marks of British prowess on their persons. " Since writing yesterday, intelligence has arrived that Colonel Greathed's column came up with a portion of the rebels at Boolundshuhur, about twenty- five miles from Delhi, on the right bank of the Jumna, on the 28th ult. An action ensued, in which the rebels were defeated, losing 150 men in killed alone. On our side the loss did not exceed fifty in killed and wounded. It is further stated that the great body of the rebels had reached Muttra, and were preparing to throw a bridge of boats across the Jumna, with the view, it was imagined, of making the best of their way into Oude. There was very little doubt but that Colonel Greathed would have dealt with them satisfactorily before their purpose could be effected. I am sorry to tell you we receive no satisfactory accounts from Lucknow. The Go- verment have this morning published a bulletin to the effect that a native who left that city on the 4th inst ' reports favourably as to our progress in clearing that city.' This intelligence is in the highest degree vague and unsatisfactory In the first place, it is a native report, and we all know how much dependence is to be placed upon native reports now- a days. In the next place, © ur latest authentic intelligence was dated September 2Gth, the day on which the Residency, which is on an elevated plateau commanding the city, was relieved; yet eight days subsequently, according to the native's account, we were only progressing favourably in clearing the city. " Letters, from Cawnpore, dated the 1st instant, state that a portion of the rebels had again crossed the Ganges at Bifchoor, and that it was believed that armed bands from Oude were marching on the place. All sorts of reports are in circulation regarding Havelock's movements, but as none of them were considered reliable, it would be useless to insert them here. A large force of rebels, consisting of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, with eight gun'-, had en- camped on the left bank of the Ganges, opposite Allahabad, and were every moment threatening to cross over. Were they to attempt it they might cause us some annoyance; but the fort would defy their utmost efforts. Peel's Naval Bri- gade, with his enormous 68- pounders, are on their way to Cawnpore, and their arrival there almost immediately may be calculated upon. " Although no list of the survivors of the Luckoow gar- rison has been published, it has been casually mentioned in a private letter that the following are among the survivors : ' John Anderson, Martin Gubbins, the Taylors, the Coupers, Mrs. Fletcher Hayes, Mrs. Ommanney and family.' That there are many more is most probable, and I only wish I could relieve the anxiety of those in England who are looking out to receive news of the safety of their relatives by this mail. It is said that the Government bas received further intelligence both fiom Delhi and Lucknow, but if so they have kept it all to themselves. Their silence is anything but reassuring." THE STORM OF DELHI. The following is from an Engineer officer:— " The Camp, Delhi, Sept 21 to 27. " Here we are at last, thank God, having kicked out those rascals neck and crop, after a twelve days' attack. The 14th was the storming day, as I told you, and I got knocked over the day before, which prevented my being present. We lost about 64 officers and 1,100 men out of 3,000 who went iu. Some men say there never was harder fighting, and when we got inside the brutes disputed every inch, till yesterday we shelled them out of the palace, charged, and took it with no loss, and all the villains in the city bolted; it is all ours now. Our men have been really most humane; they would not kill a single man who was not a sepoy, and I am glad to say not a woman or child was touched; but when I saw sturdy brutes of men, the very class who committed all the atrocities, allowed to pass out, I could not help wishing some of the soldiers would drive their bayonets through them ; but I did not say so out loud, as they are very apt to take you at your word. " SEPT 23.— We have all moved down to a capital house on the banks of the river in the city; the breeze is delightful, and we are all getting as fat and jolly as if we were at home. We are getting on capitally; we have got the King— the Great Mogul — prisoner, and are only waiting for leave from Calcutta to hang him, His eldest son and heir, Mizza Mogul Beg, a most infernal scoundrel, who set the example of murdering the Europeans, was caught and shot like a dog, and his son, a man of about 20 years old, as well as the King's second son, Mizza's brothor. I saw all the three bodies exposed in the Kotwallie this morning. I am happy to say we are not so lenient as we were. Two of our native Sappers were murdered in the city, so we went out and hunted up about 50 or 60 men— thorough rascals, and our men have been shooting them ever since. I saw 24 knocked over, all tied together against the walls; and when you hear those wretches, when they see they have no chance, coolly tell you, ' Well, you may shoot me if you like; I killed three Europeans in the glorious massacre,' you lose all horror at the sight, and only wish they had cats' lives to take them all. Only four Vic- toria Crosses have yet been given in the army— one to Lieutenant Home, Engineers; one to Lieutenant Halkeld, Engineers; one to Sergeant Smith, Sappers and Miners ; and one to a bugler in her Majesty's 52d. So you see we got three out of the four in our corps. Poor Salkeld is so badly wounded I am afraid he will never wear his. However, the red riband has been better than any medicine. I am sure I would have fiven my left arm for it, and I might have had a chance, as should most probably have been with Salkeld, blowing up the Cashmere gate, had it not been for that wretched grape the night before We are wonderfully oomfortable in our new house; it was a powder manufactory iu the days of the Mogul, and consequently our servants accidentally blew us up the other day, and killed one of themselves. But these little excitements are necessary. After being three months every day under fire, the change is so great that we were thinking of pay- ing men to fire at us daily, and so let ourselves down to a quiet life by degrees. .... I have given up walking about the Sack streets of Delhi, as yesterday an officer and myself had taken a party of 20 men out patrolling, and we found 14 women with their throats cut from ear to ear by their own husbands, and laid out in their shawls. We caught a man there who said he saw them killed for fear they should fall into our hands, and showed us their husbands, who had done the best thing they could afterwards, and killed themselves. We took about 280 cannon, with shot, & c, for about three years. Without artillery they are no good; with it, no despicable antagonists. There are no better gunners anywhere, as we discovered in this siege. By returns we lost 1,350 men and 64 officers during the assaults only. Tolerably bloody work. Our loss in the assault, out of 18 officers on duty, was one officer killed ( poor Tandy), 10 wounded, many severely; one, I fear, mortally; o.* e the day before the assault, one after. Total 13 out of 18; a tolerable number, for there were seven or eight who were on another part of the work whom I don't count, and who are on the strength to assist the unhappy remaining five now. I am glad to say there is not much work for us just now. At present, indeed, cut up as we have been, we eould not do it if we had much; as, what with officers thoroughly done up since with fever, and others sent out with moveable columns, our 26 for duty are reduced to four." PARTIAL POSTPONEMENT OP THE HOP DUTY PAYMENT.— We understand that the Government ( probably in consequence of the representations of the deputation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Friday) have announced their intention of allowing the payment of one- half of the instalment now due to be deferred till February.— South- Eastern, Gazette. SUDDEN DEATH OP A CLERGYMAN AT NEW COLLEGE, OX FORD.— An inquisition was on Tuesday afternoon taken before Valentine Cox, Esq, University coroner, and a jury of matricu- lated persons, to inquire into the sudden death of the Rev Chas. Alcock, M. A., formerly Fellow of New College, vicar of Adder- bury with Barford, St John's Curacy, and Milton Hamlet, but who has for some time past been residing at Midhurst, Sussex, who was discovered dead in a water- closet in the college. The deceased was on a short visit to New College, and had attended the " Gaudy" onThursday week. On Friday morning he appeared as well as usual. He had told his servant he should leave Oxford by the 10: 30 train, and return to New College on Tuesday. Nothing more was seen or heard of him. It was noticed since then that the door of one of the water- closets iu the college had remained fastened, but, as this had occurred before, it was not opened till Tuesday morning, when the body of Mr Alcock was found inside. The jury returned a verdict That the deceased died suddenly, and from natural causes. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. A letter from Nantes, dated Wednesday last, informs us that the arrival ia that town of the Moniteur containing the Imperial decree permitting the export of corn and flour had produced considerable excitement and general satisfaction. Several large purchases of grain were made, and the electric telegraph offices were crowded with persons sending messages announcing sales or purchases and the despatch of cargoes. Several ship? unemployed in the port were forthwith char- tered. Trade, which was languishing at Nantes, had become animated by the promulgation of the decree. . The Moniteur contains an Imperial decree, by which M de Rover, Procureur- General of the Court of Cassation, is appointed Keeper of the Seals and Minister of Justice, in- stead of M Abbatucci, deceased. M Vaisse will succeed mm in the office which he has just vacated. The journals have received orders not to molest Rescind Pasha— another proof, if any were needed, of the Emperor's disapproval of the conduct of M de Thouvenel, whose removal, whether volun- tary or compulsory, is looked for at Constantinople. The Spectateuv ( late the Assemblee Nationale) has re- ceived a warning for the following passage in the Jeuilleton signed by the eminent writer M Amedee Ac hard:— Apropos of incomes derived from the Bourse, the forest of Compiegne just now presents a singular spectacle every day when the hunting is over. The death halloo has just sounded ; gallant cavaliers, excited by the joys of the chase, are seen in their court uniforms gaily cantering up and down the avenues. Suddenly one of theai pulls out his watch; perceiving that it is four o'clock, he puts spurs to his horse and rides off to Compiegne as hard as he can go; another follows him, then another, and another ; till at last the whole hunt is seen riding with all speed in the same direction. It is a regular steeplechase, in which diploma- tists, men of wit and leisure, foreigners of distinction, and other court guests are mixed up pell mell. They take the shortest way, they leap over ditch and wall, and enter Com- piegue like a squadron of Hussars charging a battery. Where are they going? To the Hotel de la Cloche. But they are not going there to dine— a far more sumptuous dinner than the cuisine of that hotel could supply is awaiting them in the Imperial Palace of Compiegne. They come to inquire what has been done at the Bourse. At the Hotel de la Cloche they find their Stock Exchange agents waiting for them. As soon as thev dismount a chaos of voices is heard, " What is the price of " the Rente ?" How about the Credit Mobilier ?" " Have you soid my Orleans ?" " Are Aus- trians firm ?" The whole Bourse list is passed in review; " premiums," " continuations," " put and call," and such jargon, resounds in all directions, and in an hour afterwards the noble i unters proceed to the chateau, thinking much less about the stag than the Bourse. The next morning at ten o'clock they return to the Hotel de la Cloche, where they find the same agents waiting to take their orders for the dav's operations. Such is play at the Bourse.— The grounds for the warning stated in the body of it are that the above narrative is " radically » a* 3e- Several of the evening papers contain long details of the Figaro dinner at Vefour's. The " Society for the Encourage ment and Amelioration of the esprit Fran^ ais " seems to be a joke got up among a set of journalists as an excuse tor two or three jolly dinners, and will probably not be more than a nine days' wonder. M de Royer, the new Minister of Justice, filled that office once before. He was a member of that transition or interme- diate ministry formed on the 2ith of January, 1851, when on the resignation of M Leon Faucher, the President of the Republic found it either impossible or inconvenient to form a Cabinet which could command a parliamentary majority. This ministry, humble in its pretensions, did not rise either in the estimation of the Assembly or of the public beyond the level of its moderate ambition. It expired on the 10th of April in the same memorable year, and then M de Royer re- turned to his place of Procureur- General of the Court of Appeal. When, in 1853, the eminent lawyer. M Delangle, was promoted to the highest legal post in France, that of First President of the Court of Cassation, M de Royer suc- ceeded him as Procureur- General of the same court, and he has held that office ever since, performing its duties respect- ably and zealously. The elevation of M de Royer prevents any disturbance of existing ministerial arrangements. M Rouland has displayed so much administrative ability since he has been Minister of Public Instruction that the Emperor would have been very glad to have had him as Minister ot the Interior, giving the seals in that case to M Billault. But it was ultimately considered that M Rouland was the only man capable of keeping the Ultramontane bishops within bounds, and therefore he remains where he is. The Steele, struck with the resemblance of what has been published as the text of the third Turkish note on the Prin- cipalities question to that of the second, doubts whether more than two have been written. It is certain, however, that three have appeared. By the first, dated Oct 14, 1856, the Porte informed the Powers, parties to the Treaty of Paris, of its general views on the question. By the second, dated Sept 23, 1857, it protested against the proposition of the Divans ad hoc. The third and last, that of Oct 28, is the one that has just been made public. Some maligner of England has palmed off a falsehood on the French papers under pretence of its being an extract from the letter of an English officer at Delhi. The supposed officer is made to say:—" Forty or fifty persons had got to- gether and concealed themselves in the houses— they were not mutineers, but residents, who, relying upon eur habitual clemency, hoped for pardon. I am glad to say they were disappointed." On this the Const itutionnel says:—" Such an act and such a sentiment require no comment. Our neighbours have latterly complained that they are not liked in Europe. We feel bound to tell them frankly that acts such as these are not of a nature to conciliate sympathy for them in France. We cannot rejoice at their successes in India, unless they observe the laws of humanity, and main- tain the honour of European civilisation." The Univers catches up the ball, and says :—" Disappointed ! What a delicate expression to intimate the fact that the throats of these individuals were cut for no other reason but because ( hey resided in Delhi 1 The English journals, while gloat- ing over details like these with delight, continue to protest against the cruelty of their enemies." The Gazette de France exceeds even these amenities. We assert without hesitation, that all this indignation is founded on a false and forged passage. No English letter of the kind exists. It would appear that the prosecution commenced against certain money- changers by the Imperial law officers has considerably checked the demand for gold at the Bank of France. To- day there were very few bank notes presented for payment. A detective has been stationed in the cash- office, who sharply surveys every person who enters, and sees what amount of gold he demands. PIEDMONT. The Piedmontese Gazette announces that the central ad- ministration of the Piedmontese railways belonging to the State had given orders for the gratuitous conveyance of the electors to their respective colleges and back, on the 15th and 18th inst, on merely producing their electoral card. In the elections known as definitive, it is said that the Government had obtained an immense majority. The Sardinian Government has decided to set at liberty the heroine of the Mazzinian attempt, Miss Jessie Meriton White, annexing to her liberation the condition, or rather the order, that she should quit the country within five days. The Chamber of Accusations at Genoa on the 10th inst, commenced the inquiry into the events of June, for the pur- pose of acquitting those among the prisoners against whom there is not sufficient evidence, and sending the others for trial. MILAN. The Milan Gazette publishes a notification of the 6th, from the Prefect of Finance of Lombardy, announcing that for the year 1858 the direct taxes are to be increased at the rate of five kreutzers for every florin of taxes ( the florin is about 2f 50c, and contains 60 kreutzers). NAPLES. The Staffeta, of Turin, of the 12th, states from Naples that upwards of 400 persons implicated in a conspiracy have been arrested there in a single night. It adds that the Nea- politan police have been led to the discovery of this con- spiracy, not by any revelations of Captain Piscane, but by Mazzini's articles in the Italia e Popolo of Genoa. The Times correspondent at Turin says :— Letters from Naples received here to- day state that the two English engi- neers had not yet been set at liberty, andthat their Consul had not been allowed to communicate with them. It was known that very strong representations concerning them had been made on the part of England to the Neapolitan Government. As to these " strong remonstrances" they are laughed at in Naples, and England is everywhere scorned for pretending to make them. A squadron and a peremptory demand for the liberation of these poor men is what France or the United States would have sent, and so should we under any Go- vernment alive to justice to Englishmen and honour to England. The Times correspondent at Naples says that we are despised at Naples for oiy pusillanimity. He has taken the opinions of Neapolitan lawyers on these men's cases, and he finds, " according to the law, an imputato cannot speak with his advocate until the process has been made public; that is to say, until the instruzione of the case is completed, and it has been handed into the chancery of the court previous to trial. In English phraseology we should say until a true bill has been found. The trial may then be proceeded with immediately ; but usually an interval of a few days elapses, when the prisoner is permitted to commu- nicate with his counsel." Now, mark, this is the only prohi- bition set up by the Neapolitan iaw; and even this has ceased to exist, as the instruzione with regard to these men is completed, and they have been sent down to Salerno to stand their trial. The law, however, throws not the slightest impediment in the way of a prisoner having free communi- cation with his relatives, friends, or representatives, and it is an established maxim that silence sanctions. Such being the law of Naples, what is the position of the two British subjects now in prison at Salerno ? The circumstances of their arrest are well known. This is about the fifth month of their confinement without trial. Not a friend has been permitted to visit them. TURKEY. A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople announces that, pursuant to instructions received from Paris, M de Thouvenel had consented to be reconciled with Redschid Pasha, and that the reconciliation will take place without the honour of either party suffering in the least. A difference is said to have arisen between England and Turkey on the one hand, and Russia on the other, on the subject of the trade and navigation of the Black Sea. This difference threatened to assume some importance, but it appears the French and Prussian Governments have interposed between the parties, and suggested that the solution should be left to the Congress. imprisonment. It was believed at Belgrade that Prince Karageorgewitch will commute the sentence] of death into imprisonment with hard labour. A despatch from Jassy, published by the Levant, gives the latest proceedings of the Divans ad hoc. That assembly, after some animated debates, has voted that ail citizens are equal in the eye of the law. It has likewise voted the abolition of all classes and privileges, and the liberty of public worship. It is shortly to consider the question of forced labour to which the peasants are subjected. This last question, which affects the rights of private property, will present much difficulty. The following telegram is dated Jassy, Nov 11:—" The order of the day of the Assembly ad hoc, comprising the series of votes relative to internal reforms, has now been nearly exhausted. In the sitting of yesterday and in preceding sittings have been voted— First, liberty of worship; second, reorganisation of the army, with a view to the consolidation and the common defence of the territory of the two Princi- palities ; third, equality before the law ; fourth, general con- tribution and conscription; fifth, accessibility of all the Roumains to all the offices of the state." The Etoile du Danube gives the following important list of the subjects in the order of the day of the Assembly. It will be seen that some of these have already been voted:— " 1. Rectification ot the frontiers of the Principalities by a European commission.— 2. Submission of foreigners to the ju- risdiction of the country.— 3. Full liberty for the Principalities to establish commercial conventions in accordance with their own interests.— 4. Organisation of the national armed force, with a view to a system of common defence for the two Prin- cipalities.— 5. Liberty of worship, subject to arrangements to be made with the Ottoman Porte.— 6. Establishment of a synodal authority centralising the spirit, ualaffairs of theRoumsdn Church. — 7. Equality before the law; accessibility of all the Roumairis to all the offices of the state; an equitable assessment of imports; general submission to the military conscription.— 8. Respect to be paid to domicile and to individual liberty.— 9. Political rights awarded to natives or naturalised persons belonging to a y Christian communion.— 10. Separation of the executive and le- gislative powers.— 11. Independence » f the judicial power with respect to administrative authorities, properly so called,— 12. Responsibility of ministers." On the sixth point the reverend Father Scriban has an opinion different to that of the majority of the commission; the hon deputy of the metropolis of Jassy proposes the establishment of a synodal authority, with powers at once legislative and administrative in everything which concerns the Roumain Church. The reverend archimandrite also pro- poses a modification of the fifth point as follows:—" That liberty of worship be proclaimed, without injury in any- thing towards the dominant religion of the orthodox church of the country." RUSSIA. The Czar, under pretence of sanitary precautions, has re- commenced the blockade of many of the ports of the Black Sea. The Cabinet of St Petersburg having lately given notice that only the three ports of Anapa, Sukum Kale, and Redout Kale, on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea, would be open to foreign vessels for the present, and an Austrian journal having objected that this regulation is an infraction of Article 12 of the Treaty of Paris, the Nord proceeds to argue on the pretence we have mentioned, that the measure is justifiable. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The European and Australian Company's steamer Aus- tralasian, Capt Sceales, arrived at Southampton on Tuesday with the heavy portion of the Australian and Bombay mails. Her dates were:— Sydney, Sept 10 ; Melbourne, 17th; King George's Sound, 24th; Ceylon, Oct 9 ; Aden, 18th; Suez, Nov 4; Alexandria, 6th; Malta, 10th. Her mails con- sisted of 513 boxes and 5 bags, the largest mail ever brought home in one ship. The cargo of the Australasian consisted of 149 packages of gold and gold dust, of the value of £ 525,916 sterling, & c, & c. The Australasian brought home 66 passengers, nearly all of them from Australia. The Emeu, which brought the Australian mail to Suez, ran ashore, as has already been stated, on a coral reef in the Red Sea, about 700 miles from Suez. She was going at full speed, aud ran about 30 feet on the reef. After being stuck fast for 53 hours, she was got off by cutting away the rock and backing her out. She was torn very much for- ward, and made water fast. She was then driven on a favourable beach, the water pumped out of her by the crew and passengers, and patched up so that she was enabled to reach Suez. If it had not been for her watertight compart- ments and the exertions of the passengers, she would never have got off the rocks. She was ashore eight days repairing. The Admiralty agent, with two passengers and the purser, left the Emeu, and went on board a native sailing boat, carrying with them about 150 boxes of mails, containing chiefly letters. This was three weeks ago, and it was not expected that they could reach Suez before the latter end of the week. They are in an open boat, with a head wind, and their sufferings must be dreadful. The Emeu's going ashore was the fault of the native pilot. She will be unable to proceed to Australia with the mail which left England on the 12th ult, and will have to go to Calcutta, or some other Indian port, in company with another ship to be repaired. The outward Australian mail of the 12th ult must wait at Suez for the Simla, which is expected at that port on the 22d iast. The Australasian will prove a fast steamer; she, however, consumes a large quantity of coals. In the Legislative Assembly of Victoria the Government has succeeded, notwithstanding great opposition, in passing the Land Bill, the effect of which will be to give all squat- ters a legal tender and priority of purchase of the extensive tracts of public land occupied by them as sheep- runs. It is expected, however, that in the Upper House, or Legislative Council, the bill will undergo some modification. FINE ARTS. MAPS OP INDIA.— We have much pleasure in calling the at- tention of our readers to two collections of maps of India, just published by Chapman and Hall, of Piccadilly; they are called Lowry's Atlas and Sharpe's Atlas. Lowry's, which is only is, contains eight maps, viz— 1. A General Map of India. 2. Aff- ghanistau. 3. Beloochistan. 4. North- West Provinces. 5. Bom- bay. 6. Nepaul. 7. Bengal. 8. Madras. It is carefullygot up, and is one of the cheapest things of the kind we have seen. Sharpe's, which is larger, and costs 2s 6d, contains only six maps, viz— 1. General Map. 2. Bengal. 3. Central India. 4. The Carnatic. 5. Beloochistan. 6. Affglianistan and the Punjab. The maps are on a much larger scale than Lowry's, are better got up, aud the work is altogether one of more pre- tensions. Both are extremely welcome in the present state of affairs, aud will, we are sure, meet with a ready sale. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENTS OP TROOPS.— The Hamburg ship La Rochelle, which was off Falmouth on Monday, reports that in lat 7 N, long 24 48 W, she spoke the steam- ship Hydasnes, from London for the East Indies. The troops ( artillery) were all well at that period, and were three and a half days from St Vincent's. She also reports Oct 10, lat 10 2i N, long; 23 48 W, steam troop- ship Italian, from Cork for Bombay, haviug on board 201 men of the 10th and 26th Foot. The Hydaspes left Woolwich Sept 17, and the Italian left Cork Sept 25.— On Wednesday a draft, com- prising about 120 men, left Colchester camp to join their re- spective regiments in India. They comprised 60 men of the 2d battalion Rifle Brigade, 30 men 3d battalion Rifle Brigade, 15 of the 1st battalion of 6dth Rifles, and 18 men of the o4th Foot. Tha men, who were accompanied by one sergeant and two cor- porals, and uuder the command of Capt Macguire, of the 60th Rifles, embarked the same day on board the clipper transport George Marshall, lying off Gravesend, and bound for Bombay. Owing to the crowded state qf the camp, and the inability of the rifle instructors at the branch camp at Clacton to prepare a sufficient number of men for active ser- vice abroad, upwards of two hundred men have beeu removed to Harwich and L^ Bguard Fort, where a staff will ba temporarily kept to relieve the artillery under orders for India, and also for the purpose of assisting to train the young recruits, who now form an important part of the camp, in the use of the rifle. Owing to the great increase in the strength of Chatham garrison, consequent on the large arrivals of recruits for the purpose of joining the various Indian depots attached to the provisional battalions, the authorities are making arrange- ments for the embarkation during the ensuing mouth of about 1,000 troops, with a proportionate. number of officers, from the following Indian depot companies quartered at Chatham gar- rison, viz— 7t'a ( Fusiliers), 8th ( the King's), 10th, 18th ( Royal Irish), 19: h, 29th, 231 ( fctoyal Welsh Fusiliers), 24th, 27th ( Bn- niskilleus), 29th, 32d, &> th, 4) Sd ( Light Infantry), 51st ( Light Infantry), 52d ( Light Infantry), 53d, 61st, 64th, 70th, 75th, 81st, 82d, 83d, 84th, 86ih, 87ch ( Royal Irish Fusiliers), 90th ( Light Infantry), 94th and 98th Regiments, Great acfciviiy prevails in the garrison in bringiug the men forward for embarkation, aud abeut 200 troops are dally undergoinginstruction in* theuse of the Minie rifle. In consequence of the news just received from India, the authorities at the Horse Guards have decided that the whole of the officers belonging to regiments in that country who are now at home on leave shall proceed forthwith to join the head- quarters of their respective corps. All the officers not re- quired to embark in oharge of detachments will be permitted to proceed by the overland route.— On Monday morning the rein- forcements for the 1st Dragoon Guards, 2d Dragoon Guards, 7th Hussars, 20tb, 23d ( Welsh Fusiliers), 25th, 53d, 61st, 84th, and 90th ( Light Infantry Regiments), left Chatham Garrison aud embarked on board the George Marshall, at Gravesend, for Cal- cutta, in charge of Ensign F. Mausel, 20th Regiment, aud Ensigu M. Williaus, 8lch Regiment.— The 91th Regimeat, under the command of Colonel Mills, embarked on Friday week, on board the hired screw steam- transport Austria, Captain Heydtmanu, and sailed from Plymouth Sound on Saturday for Kurrachee.— Captain George Bray and Lieut Cochraue, 96ch Regiment, have sailed for Gibraltar in the ship Lady M'Naghten with a detach- ment, consisting of 2 sergeants and 48 rant and file of the 91st Regiment, embarked as a guard over convicts.— Nearly 300 recruits arrived at Chatham during the last week, chiefly fro ai the recruiting districts in London, Bristol, Liverpool, and York, for the purpose of joining the Indian depots at that garrison. Upwards of 3,000 recruits have joined at Chatham since the new regulations relative to recruiting have been issued from the War Office and the reduction made in the standard. On Thurs- day an order was received from the War Office by the command ants of the 1st, 2d, and 3d battalions at Chatham garrison, di- recting them to hold in readiness 500 men of all rauks, with a proportionate number of officers, selected from the various Indian depots at . Chatham, to embark on the 1st proximo for India, for the purpose of reinforcing their regiments serving in the Bengal, Madras, and Bombay Presidencies. A second bat- talion is to be added to the 8 th ( King's) Regiment, part of the staff of which proceeded ou Monday to Buttevant, for the pur- pose of raising and drilling the regiment. The first battalion is serving in India aud the depot is in Chatham, Second battalions are to be added to all the infantry regiments from the 1st to the 20th inclusive. The 14th are raising their 2d battalion in Cork garrison. Part of the 2d battalion of the 3d Buffs, numbering about 170 rank and file, arriyed in Cork on Saturday from Limerick, uuder command of Major Sargent, and are to proceed to Canterbury. The remainder of the battalion will follow. DEATH OP COLONEL MIGGINS, K. H.— We regret to announce the death of Colonel Warner Westenra Higgins, K. H., which took place recently at Rodney- terrace, Cheltenham, in the 77th year of his age. Colonel Higgins served in Ireland during the rebellion in 1798. In 1806 he was at the landing and taking of Maldonado, in South America; at the affair of San Carlos, in which he was sa « ly wounded, aud, had his horse shot; also at the siege and taking of Monte Video. ROYAL ARTILLERY POR INDI^— In addition to the 2d and 7th companies of the 11th but Slion of Royal Artillery, which will embark on board the Leopold, screw steam- vessel, at the Royal Arsenal wharf, the vessel is ordered tow± mbark at Ports- mouth Major J. Singleton's V Field BattCTy, now at Hilsea Barracks. On Thursday evening, at seven o'clock, twenty ord- nance waggons, each drawn by four horses, and under an escort of the military train corps, arrived at the Royal Arsenal from the Tower, wit a an immense quantity of shot, shell, and muni tious of war, for immediate shipment to India. THE SIAMESE AMBASSADORS,— The Queen held on Thursday a court for the reception of the ambassadors from the Kings of Siam. The ambassadors arrived at Windsor Castle shortly before one o'clock, attended by Mr Fowle and Captain Clavering, R. N. The ambassadors were conducted by Major- General the Hon Sir Edward Cust, K. C. H., her Majesty's Master of the Ceremonies aud Mr Norman Macdonald, Gentleman Usher, from the tapestry- room, through St George's Hall and the grand reception room to the door of the Throne Room, where they were received by Lord Ernest Bruce, Vice- Chamberlain, by whom their ex- cellencies were conducted to the Queen on the throne. Phya Mantri Suriywause, one of the representatives of the First cr Major King of Siam, bore autograph letters from the Kings written in gold. The presents from the two Kings of Siam to the Queen were arranged on either side of the room. They com- prised an Eastern crown, of gold and enamel, enriched with diamonds, emeralds, and rubies; a gold collar, thickly studded with rubies; a large star; a massive ring, set with diamonds aud a variety of precious stones ; a golden belt enriched with rubies; a chair of state or throne; a rare and valuable white shell, having a number of jewels inserted; a cup and saucer of agate ; a state palanquin; a state saddle and bridle; a number or umbrellas covered with gold embroidery; boxes and cups of solid gold; silver salvers with gilt embossed edges; a metal drum, and a variety of other articles of rarity and curious work- manship, together with a painting of the court of the Kings of Siam. The ambassadors having been introduced, the first am- bassador delivered an address, to which her Majesty returned a gracious answer. At the termination of the audience, their excellencies returned to St George's Hall, and were afterwards ushered into the Waterloo Gallery, where luncheon was served OMNIBUS TRAMWAYS.— The Loudon General Omnibus Com- pany are about to expend £ 50,000 of their surplus capital in lay- ing down tramways for omnibuses in certain of the leading tho- roughfares in the metropolis where the width of the road is suf- ficient to admit of the experiment without risk of interference with the ordinary traffic. The plan, as many of our readers will be aware, has been tried and adopted with very great success and considerable public benefit in Paris, Lyons, New York and Boston, and the practicability of it has therefore been demon- strated beyond question. A tramway of this description has been for nearly three years in use between Paris, Boulogne aad St Cloud, and is now extended to S6vres and Versailles, and also in Lyons, New York, and Boston; and large omnibuses, carrying from 60 to 80 passengers each, are thereon propelled by two horses at a speed varying from eight to ten miles an hour, with great facility. The part of the metropolis on which the expe- riment is about to be tried commences with the road from Not- ting- hill Gate, via the Grand Junction- road, New- road City- road, and Moorgate- street to the Bank, with branches to the Groat Western aud London and North Western Railways and to Fieet- street, via Bagnigge Wells- road. The length of this line with sidings will be about eight miles and a half, and the road with the exception of the inclines at Pentonville, is broad and eminently qualified for the trial. In the event of its success the company next contemplate the extension of the plan to the road from Edmonton to the City, by way of Kingsland and other parts of the metropolis. The tramways when laid will be per- fectly flush with the general surface of the roadway, and will not in any way interfere with the passage along and across it of any ordinary road waggon or carriage; and as the new omnibuses in passing along will be confined to the tramway, which will consist of a double line in the centre of the roadway, the sides of the road, aud indeed the entire width, except during the instant of passage, will be free to the general traffic, which will thus be carried on without interruption. The great economy which will be effected by the adoption of the new tramway system will enable the company to carry the public at reduced fares, and at a greater rate of speed. DEATH OP A SPORTSMAN.— We have this day to record an event which grieves us exceedingly— the demise of Thomas White, Esq, one of the oldest and best of our fellow citizens. His death was accidental, occurring while Mr White, who was well known as the " Father of the Derry Hunt," was following his favourite pastime, on Monday last. On that morning, being iu his usual health, he rode out with the hounds. About eleven o'clock a hare was started on Giendermott Hill, and the deceased gentleman, while hurrying up to join the dogs, had occasion to cross a low ditch. The horse stumbled and threw his rider • but the ground being soft and the depth of the fall inconsiderable, nothing very serious was apprehended when his companions hastened over to his assistance. They came to help him to re- mount, but their venerated leader had crossed his horse for the last time, and now lay lifeless before them. He never spoke. He had died in an instant— it is believed by an injury to the spinal cord, near the juuctiou with the back of the skull. Two of the party galloped to town for medical aid, but his son, Dr White, only arrived in time to see his corpse surrounded by his old companions in the chase. Dr J. E. Miller was also pre- sent. Those who witnessed the manly sorrow of the crowd, gay and liglithearted a moment before, but now grouped in silence round their old friend, describe the scene as ineffably touching. All that could be done was to remove the body to the residence of his afflicted family. We do not know any man in the com- munity who was so universally respected as Mr White. His kindness of heart and geniality of temper rendered him a fine specimen of the Irish gentleman. His private life was most exemplary. He was principally known to the public in connec- tion with the Derry Hunt, of which he was a member for more than half a century. He was accounted one of the best horse- men in Ireland. Mr White belonged to the Roman Catholic religion, but his friends were of ail persuasions, and all per- suasions mourn his death. He was extremely liberal in his views. Only a few days ago he generously gave' a site for the erection of a Presbyterian school- house at the Waterside with- out charging, as he might have done, for the loss of his tenant interest, holding the property under Sir Robert Ferguson. This is only one of the many acts of natural goodness which dis- ; tinguished a man who has passed away, equally lamented by rich NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENTS OP SHIPS OP WAR.— The Scourge, 6, paddlewheel steam- sloop, Commodore Adams, arrived at Spithead on Satur- day week from the Cape of Good Hope and West Coast of Africa stations. She left the Cape on the 265h of July, and the lliver Congo, Sept 25. She reports the slave trade becoming quite brisk on the coast of Africa — Her Majesty's screw steam- sloop Alecto has captured four slavers lately, oae with a small quantity of specie on board for the purchase of cargo.— Her Majesty's sloop Sappho had driven one slaver on shore and rescued 350 slaves; about 150 more were reported to be drowned aud missing. The slaver was atterwards burnt as she lay on the beach.— On the 22d October the Great Britain steam- transport sailed from St Vincent's for India with troops, and two uays afterwards was followed by the screw steam- transport Calcutta. — The Scourge has since arrived at Plymouth to be paid off.— The Brilliant, 20, Captain J. A. Paynter, which has arrived at Chatham from the West Indies, where she lost a considerable portion of her crew from yellow fever, will be put out of com- mission, and the crew transferred to one of the ships to be fitted out at Chatham, probably the Racoon, 21, screw corvette, which is to be commissioned at that port. The crew on being paid off will be allowed a month's run on shore.— The Heron, 12, Com- m tnder W. H. Truscott, fitting at Chatham, is nearly ready for sea, the whole of her crew having joined. She has received her stores, & c, on board, and onWednesday bent sails preparatory to dropping down the river for the purpose of taking on board her powder and ammunition. — Her Majesty's screw steatn- ship Archer, 13 guns, recently arrived at Woolwich from the North Americau station, is ordered to be brought forward for foreign service. — The Gannet, 10 guns, screw steam- sloop, is to be launched on the 2d of December at Pembroke Dockyard. She is in a very forward state.— The iron screw steam- vessel Sharp- shooter, 8, has been commissioned at Portsmouth by Lieutenant C. Gibbon. She is to be manned from the depot of " general service" men on board the Victory, of whom that ship has several hundred on her books. The St Vincent and the Blenheim are also overcrowded with them, so that the commissioning of any squadron would be easy just now. OUR NAVAL FORCES IN CHINA AND INDIA.— Of the 251 ships of war in commission on the 1st of November no less than 73 were in China or iu the East Indies. Of the 40,000 seamen and marines afloat, more thau 12,000 ( not including the Royal Marine battalion) are on the China and East India station. Of the 38,446 nominal horse- power in screw and paddle machinery in the fleet in commission, 12 630 horse- power are in the men of- war, royal transports, and gun- boats, in China and the East Indies, of which 9,760 horse- power are in the screw vessels.— A letter from the Shannon, 51, screw, dated Calcutta, Oct 9th, gives additional particulars of the movements of the naval brigade, and the transports and troops:—" Captain Peel, after a very harassing passage, has arrived at Allahabad with all his stores, guns, & c. He is at present in command of the garrison, with 530 seamen belonging to the Shannon, but will proceed to Cawnpore very shortly. A reserve from the Pearl, 21, screw, Captain Sotheby, have gone to Patna. The Shannon's guns, it i3 supposed, will not come down again. The 93d Highlanders have gone up the country. The 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers are in Fort William. They will go up the country in a few days."— Penelope, paddle, Captain Sir William Wiseman, has her boilers very defective. Captain Sir William Wiseman has gone to Galle to superintend the transfer of troops from the sailing vessels coming out from England.— There are remaining at Calcutta Sanspareil, 71, screw, Shannon, 51, screw, Pearl, 21, screw, Belleisle, and Adventure.— Her Majesty's ship Simoom and the hired screw transports Mauritius and Madras have sailed for Galle.— The screw transport Cleopatra was run into by the Mauritius in the river, and is repairing damages. She goes to Galle when ready. APPOINTMENTS.— Captain A. Forbes ( 1846), to the Renown, 91, screw steam- ship, at Chatham; Commander M. F. O'Reilly ( 1856), to the Lapwing, 4, screw steam gun- vessel, at Devon- port; Lieuts W. F. Harris and F. Osborn to the Bos- cawen, 70, at the Cape, for disposal.; Lieut Charles T. Wil- liamson, to the Vesuvius ; Lieut Spencer de L. Lacy, additional, to the Vesuvius, for disposal: Brownlow A. Capel, midshipman, to the Valorous; J. E. O'Maliey, surgeon, to the Viper ; Thomas Roche, surgeon, to the Sharpshooter ; Thomas Ayliag, surgeon, to the Alecto; Henry N. 8peer, surgeon, to the Lyra ; Thomas B. Purchas, surgeon, to the Ardent; J. M'Cormick, acting- assistant- surgeon, to the Alecto; and James Hunter, assistant- surgeon, to the Lyra. OBITUARY.— Rear- Admiral Abraham Mills Hawkins, on the retired list C. D. E., died recently at Buttville, near Knights- bridge, aged 73. Admiral Hawkins was the second son of the late Richard Hawkins, Esq, of that place, and enumerates amongst his aucestors the celebrated Sir John Hawkins, who was knighted for the conspicuous part he had enacted, as rear- admiral, iu the defeat of the Spanish Armada; and Sir Richard Hawkins, his son, an officer also distinguished in the naval annals of those days. Queen Elizabeth, in consi- deration of the important services rendered to his country by Sir John Hawkins, granted honourable augmentations to the family arms, whicn had been borne by the deceased Rear- Ad- miral Hawkins.— We regret to announce the death of Rear- Admiral Graham, which took place on Wednesday evening, at his residence in the Albany. THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Belgrade of the 5th inst informs us that tbe Criminal Court had pronounced judgment on the conspira- tors accused of having planned the death of the reigning r x ™ . ™ ,. ™ . „ Prince. Seven of the prisoners have been sentenced to <* e-! and poor. The former have lost" a wam- heated companion— teh capitation; one onlv has been condemned to perpetual; latter a kind and generous benefactor,- Derry Standard, DEATH OF MR AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, M. P.— It is with deep regret we have to announce the death of Mr Augustus Stafford, the talented member for North Northamptonshire. This event took place on Sunday night week, at Morrison's Hotel, Dublin, to which Mr Stafford had been brought from his seat in the county of Limerick a few days ago. Since his visits to the Crimea during the late war, visits prompted by the purest and highest Christian philanthropy, Mr Stafford has been liable to attacks of spasms in the chest, occasioned by the anxious and arduous duties which he had undertaken in attending and administering to the wants of our soldiers in the hospitals at Scutari and Bala- klava. On a late occasion, while suffering under one of these attacks, a large dose of laudanum was given to him, the usual remedy in such cases, after which, we understand, he was bled. In the course of the night the bandage is said to have come off, and before he became aware of it a further and profuse bleeding took place. The exhaustion consequent upon this appears to have giveu the laudanum previously taken such power over the constitution that its usual poisonous effects became manifest in the drowsiness which precedes death. With the resolution that belonged to his character he insisted on the strongest means being taken to restore animation; and Dr Griffin, who attended him, caused Irs servants to bastinado his feet ia order to keep him awake. This had the effect desired, and his medical at- tendants were enabled to have him removed to Dublin, but his constitution proved unequal to the shock ; he gradually sank, and expired in the arms of his friend, Dr Todd. Ail inquest has been held on tiie body, and a verdict in accordance with the facts has been returned. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SPORTSMAN.— On Sunday morning the inhabitants of Leicester were much shocked by a report that Mr Richard Shirley Harris ( an extensive manufacturer, and nephew to Mr J. D. Harris, one of the members for the borough) had been found shot in the neighbourhood of the town. De- ceased, a young man of 23, went out shooting on Saturday after- noon week at New Parks, and not returningat the time expected, his friends grew very alarmed, and an active search was made for him by them, assisted by some members of the police force. The search continued througlieut the night, but proved unavail- ing until daybreak, when, shortly before seven, his corpse was discovered about 200 or 300 yards from the farm- house whence he had started. There was not the slightest mark that any struggle had taken place; and from the position of the wounds it was evidently impossible that deceased had voluntarily discharged his guu. There was an extensive gunshot wound through his arm, and the shot appeared to have penetrated the chest, and destroyed a main artery, causing almost instant death. The cause of the aecident is supposed to be, that deceased was cross- ing some rails with his gun behind him, and that he did not perceive a quickset fence in the vicinity, against which the trigger of the gun caught, and caused the gua to explode. Mr Harris's gold watch and money were found perfectly safe. His dog had remained with the corpse all the night. The gun was a j double- barrelled one, and shortly before five o'clock a labourer had heard two reports ef a gun in quick succession, from the i directioiriu which deceased was iovuid, Yerdiet- Aedc& ntalDeath. THE LEVIATHAN. On Thursday a second, and for the present, we regret to say, an unsuccessful attempt was made to move thin great vessel further down the launching ways. It was not an attempt to launch her, as there is not now a sufficient amount, of water to float her off the bottom of the ways, but it was an effort to move her about forty feet lower down than the position which she at present occupies, and in this, as we have said, the attempt was a failure. The immediate cause which led to this ill succ^ s may be stated in a very few words— namely, that the abutments of piles against which the bases of the hydraulic rams rested yielded under the pressure which was exerted between them and the ship's cradle, and gave way to a great extent, and at last iu some places broke entirely. The mooring chain, belonging either to the Government or the City corporation, holding the sheave, through which, by a four- fold purchase on land, the stem of the vessel was hauled te the river, also gave way, and this mishap, taken iu con- nection with the other, led to all further attempts being postponed for at least some days, and perhaps for a longer period. These were the immediate causes, but in order to understand completely the circumstance? whioh induced them it is necessary to refer to the time ef the first attempt, on the 2d of this month. Mt> st of our readers can easily remember the arrangements which were then made. That attempt, though generally considered by the public as a failure, was in reality rather a success, for- it proved be- yond a doubt that Mr Brunei possessed a complete command over the vessel, and could check and hold it in even when it had acquired a very considerable downward momentum. Had he not possessed this controlling power on the occasion of the first effort, and when the monster slipped some five or six feet in a second, the launch would have taken place in spite of him. The vessel would, indeed, have been got into the water, but proba- bly at the cost of a fearful loss of life. There is no doubt that when anything in the nature of a spectacle is going forward, there is no risk, however fearful its aspect or probable in its contingency, which Londoners will not incur to gratify their curiosity ; and it is this consciousness of always venturing into danger which induces such fatal panics among them oa the most groundless alarm. Thus, on the first occasion, as the hour ap- proached when the vessel was to move down, the river was literally covered with boats and steamers, all densely packed aad laden to the very water's edge with men and women . Commands and entreaties to these craft to remove to a safer distance were alike disregarded, and they remained almost in the very track over which the vessel, if launched at all, would have had to pass. It is frightful to contemplate what the consequences must Have been if Mr Brunei had not possessed perfect control over her movements, and iflshe had then slipped away and dashed into the river. Not only would she have buried ail in her im- mediate way, but her displacement of water would, of course, have raised a wave sufficient to capsize the boats and steamers near her, and even to cross the river, and perhaps sweep away some hundreds of the spectators who crowded the wharfs, on the opposite shore, within a foot or two of high water mark. All these things Mr Brunei saw at a glance when the time for the launch arrived, and he saw also that to the tremendous mechanical difficulties of moving such a mass of iron at all was superadded the responsibility of undertaking to do it at a time when the snapping of a piece of iron or the neglect of a servant might involve the lives of hundreds. Never- theless, the attempt was made. The Great Eastern slid down some five or six feet, when she was instantly checked, though not till the mishap at the windlass occurred, which made all the workmen in the yard so timid as to unfit them for the execution of orders which required an unusual amount of nerve aud cool- ness. Within an hour afterwards the attempt was given up, and it was then determined that at all hazards the public should be kept in total ignorance of when the next effort should be made. Hence the strict secrecy with which all the subsequent operations have been conducted, and which was so well main- tained that even up to Thursday morning not half- a- dozen persons were aware of what was to be done. From prudential motives with regard to the men, and, also, that above all other places no note of preparation should be given on the river, the purchases worked from the barges which were to haul the vessel iu that direction were allowed to be worked from the shore. In order to do this double sheaves were secured to tha Govern- ment and City moorings, near the dock- yard on the other side of the river, through which the chains from the ship were passed aud brought back uuder her keel and up the yard, where they were hauled upon with a fourfold purchase by powerful crabs, each worked by 24 men. Four of these purchases have thus been fitted, and their united exertions, it was estimated, would apply a strain upon the midships of the vessel towards the river equal to 250 tons. Smaii stationary engines in place of the crabs worked the samo description of tackle at the stem and stern, but with these the power has been so multiplied that each can apply, if necessary, a strain of 100 tons or more. Ai the same time the launching ways have been strengthened by the addi- tion of several lengths of the bridge rails inserted between those already down at regular intervals, and additional and more powerful hydraulic rams were brought to bear ou tho ship's cradles, to push her with force enough to start h r down tho ways. These were the changes which the experience of the first POLICE INTELLIGENCE. * ATROCIOUS DECEPTION AND DESERTION OP A WIFE.— AT- • Lambeth, on Saturday week, Mr Elliott was engaged for some time in the investigation of one of the most singular cases that have ever^- perhaps^ been brought under a judicial inquiry, and the extraordinary circumstances disclosed in the course of tiftf inquiry fully verify the fact that" truth is stranger thau ficrion." It appeared that in the summer of 1850 Mr John Blair Wills, a member of a most respectable family, and at that time a medical student, met in an omnibus a young lady, with whose appearance he became so charmed that he folio ved her to her residence, and by much perseverance discovered that her friends resided at Bath, Thither he proceeded, and, having found out her mo- ther, made a formal offer of marriage to tbe young lady, her daughter. His position formed no bar whatever to the accom- plishment of his desires, but the age of the young lady, not being then quite 13, was successfully urged as an insuperable objection to her marriage, aiad here tho matter at that time ended. In 1855 the parties met again, by accident, in the Surrey Gardens, and the lady being then seventeen, and her charms having increased by her years, Mr Wills determined on having her for his wife, and having this titne secured the consent of her mother, the parties were married at Kennington Church ou the 24th of March, 1855. By this time Mr Wills had changed his profession, having preferred the business of an architect to that of a surgeon, and tne young couple appeared to iive happily to- gether, until shortly after the confinement of Mrs Wills, when she had a violent attack of milk fever, which & o affected her mind that it was found necessary to place her in Bethlehem. At this institution she remained twelve months, and that being the utmost limit for patients of her class being kept there the authorities of the institution caused a communication to be made to her husband and friends, requesting that, though not quite recovered, she might be taken away. The husband, however, appeared to take no notice whatever of the matter, but his friends, finding that it was absolutely necessary to remove her, Mr James Ferston Wills, her brother- in- law, took her from Bethlehem to the resideuee of his mother, 15, Osma. n- terrace, Ciapham- ro& d, Here she re- mained several days without being able to hear a word aooufc her husband or child, and ha viug naturally evinced great anxiaty ou the subject, her mother- in- law handed her a letter, received from her husband, requesting that she would call on him at a certain time and place in the City. She accordingly went to the place indicated, and, ou seeing her husband, she reproached him with unkindness and want of attention, ilis cool and heartless reply was thai; she must ne. t give herself any trouble about him ; that, in fact, she was no wife of his, for that he had been married to another when he had wedded her, and that therefore she had no legal claim whatever on him. He added, " The only and best thing you can do is to marrv my brother Fenton ; he loves < QUs will marry you, and make you a good husband," Singular a; it- may appear, this said brother- in- law, James Feuton Wills, iu a few days made professions of love and stttachment to the wife of his brother, and also an offer of marriage. Tho poor afflicted creature, under the impression that she was not kgally the wife of John Blair Wills, and having received marks of kindness at the hands of James Fenton Wills, consented to her marriage with the latter, and on the 21st of August tost the cereuicny of marriage took place at the Registrar of Marriages' office adjoin- ing Lambeth Workhouse. All this took place unknown to the friends of tha young lady, aad, when made acquainted with tbe facts, her mother at once came to town, and made an application ou the subject. An inquiry was, in conse- quence, set on foot, which led to the discovery that, instead of JohnElair Wills having been, as ho represented, Harried in 1851, his second marriage with a Miss Ann Goxi did not take place until April last, and therefore he had bsen clearly guilty of an act of bigamy. A warrant was in consequence issued for his apprehension, but by some means or other te has up to the present eluded the vigilance of the offi cor in whose hands the warrant for his apprehension has been placed. In the mean- time the second husband, if he may be so called, James Fenton Wills, deserted the poor woman, aud Mrs Wills being fur from well was placed in the infirmary of Lambeth, where every care and attention was paid her, and thus she of course became a burden to the ratepayers of the parish. The parish officers becoming acquainted with the fact that she 1 ? d been married in their parish to Mr James Fenton Willsf and believing that he was legally liable for her maintenance, applied for and ob- tained a summons, calling on him to show cause why an order to that effect should not be made against him.— James Fsnt'on Wills is a young man of gentlemanly appearance, about 27 years of age.— Mr Thomas Maimers, one of tho registrars of marriage for the parish of Lambeth, produced his register, in which there was an entry of marriage on the 21st day of August last between James Fenton Wills, 27, widower, and Haiion Idas well, 20, spinster.— Mrs Marion Wills, the victim of this double marriage, win is very good- looking and of ladylike manners, gave her evi- dence in a clear aad distiDct manner. She said: I know the defendant, James Fenton Wills, and was married to him sojee time in August in Lambeth.— Cross- examined by Mr Fryer: Do you recollect on any occasion going t* Somerset jiouse to look for a register of marriage ?— Witness: Yes, I n. collect going with Mr Fenton Wills and infimmn. We went to look for tde mar- riage of my husband, John Bi^ dr Wills, and we found it.— Mr attempt showed would be advisable in future efforts. Six by- ! Fryer: You found an entry of marriage in the month of April draulic rams were on Thursday fixed against the side— namely, | last, 1857, of your husband John Blair Wills with Ana two seven- inch ones at the aftermost part of each cradle, and a 10- i Good?— Witness: Yes.— Mr Fryer: And your marriage with inch one at each forward part. The base of each of thete rams rested against a regular series of strong piles driven deep into the ground, and this fulcrum appeared strong enough; but, of course, they could only be tested by the actual pressure of the rams, and that could not possibly be applied until all was ready to launch the vessel. The last preparations were completed at about noon on Thurs- day, Up to that time so carefully had tho secret bet n kept that even in the immediate neighbourhood of the yard the intended effort was unknown. A collier brig which was ashore ou one of the launching ways tended to lull whatever suspicions might have been entertained, and which the appearanoe of gangs of work- men greasing down the launching metals was certainly calcu- lated to excite. In the yard, with the exception of those actually concerned in the launch, there were not more than 20 or 30 gen- tlemen present, and nearly all of these were engineers or ship- builders. The great advantage of this arrangement over the very mixed crowd which filled the yard on the last occasion was so apparent that there is now no fear of the rule of strict privacy ever again being departed from, The men were all at their places at the crabs and hydraulic gear soon after twelve o'clock. Some time was lost while the various details were minutely inspected, preparatory to begin- ning; but at last, at one o'clock, all was ready, and the signal was given to the gangs working the hydraulic rams at the fore- most cradle to commence pumping. The aftermost cradle having slipped on the ways about 18 inches or so more than the one near the uows, it was necessary to push down the latter first, in order that they might both start on a level. As the men commenced their efforts the anxiety and expectation of all in the yard, even down to the navvies at the crabs, seemed wrought to tlie highest pitch; not a word was spoken, and not a person moved. All seemed absorbed in watching the tremendous experiment going forward, so that literally for a few minutes the suspense was almost painful. The gangs at the pumps worked with a will, but the handles went down more slowly, and the pressure was evidently becoming felt. A few minutes more and the sharp loud reports of beams of timber yielding aud straining under tremendous pressure became more and more frequent. Every one imagined that the vessel herself was yielding, but this was mere fancy, as, after a few moments, it became evident to all near the rams t hat It was the piling against which they rested that was giving. Nevertheless, the strain was kept on, increasing with every stroke of the lever, and the huge beams, cross beams, and supports groaned and strained and bent, moving visibly about like a huge piece of wickerwork. All this while the fore- most cradle never showed a sign of yielding, or moved even to a hair's breadth. At last the supports of the rams gave way so much that it became necessary to assist them by hauliug in the tackle which pulled the vessel towardsthe river, but even these gave so little relief that at last one of the centre piles broke, and some others " sprung" so badly that it became imperatively necessary to abandon the attempt. Almost at the same moment one of the large 3- inch mooring chains, securing the double sheaves which hauled upon the stem of the vessel, parted somewhere or other iu the river, so that even had the piling been capable of immediate repair and strengthening the latter accident alone was sufficient to put a stop to further efforts. Hardly had the orders been received to discontinue the attempt when the men were all at full work again to repair the causes which had led to the failure. Gangs of 100 " navvies" or so carried down huge pile- driving machines, which in an hour were erected and at work, driving in fresh piles behind those which had yielded. These men will work night and day if ne- cessary, so that in a few days at most all will be ready again for another effort. The supports for the rams will now be made of immense strength, not only by a great addition of new piles, but by the whole mass being bolted together with iron tie- rods, and again secured in the same manner to the launching ways them- selves. Thus strengthened, it will become a mechanical impos- sibility that they should yield uuder any pressure which the dead weight and friction of the whole vessel can offer. When we say that repairing the mooring chain, and having that gear ready, is iu Captain Harrison's department, we have said quite enough to vouch for the certainty of that not being found want- ing on the next occasion, when we sincerely hope we shall have to announce that the Great Eastern is at last at the water's edge.

THE ELECTRIC TELBGRAPH PROM CAGLIARI TO MALTA, i MARSEILLES, THURSDAY.— The electric cable from the Sar- dinian coast to Malta has been safely laid. The first message was transmitted on Wednesday, The communication is complete. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.— Twelve men have been suffo- cated in the Staveley Colliery, Derbyshire. The colliery is known as the Hollingwood Pit, and is the largest at these extensive works, employing abeut 300 men, and the coal raised is about 300 tons daily. There are about 600 safety lamps in use at the colliery. The men left the pit on Saturday afternoon week, at four o'clock, the usual time, when everything appeared to be safe, the furnaoe- mau being the only person left in the colliery. The duties of the furnace- man commenced at six o'clock, and terminated at six on Sunday morning. While he was iu the pit he thought he smelt a strong smell of smoke, but took no notice until another Ban came to relieve him. At seven o'clock the furnace- man was called away by a workman connected with the colliery. At four o'clock the same morning, a son of Fowkes, a horsekeeper, was down the pit, and he noticed some smoke issuing from the lamp- room or cabin in the pit bottom. He communicated what he had seen to some other persons, who conveyed the informa- tion to Mr Daniel Cooper, the resident principal underground steward. Mr Cooper then selected twelve of the most experienced men at the works to accompany him into the pit, to put out the fire. They each took a bucket and descended the shaft, but never returned. Every possible exertion was subsequently made to prevent the progress of the fire. On Monday morning Mr Woodhouse, mining engineer, arrived at the colliery, when Mr Jeff cock, Mr Hedley, and Mr Buxton went down the pit, and found the air circulating through its proper course. Another dam was put in about 900 yards down the incline. Mr Wood- house a » d Mr Henley then went to the bottom of the incline, close to the seat of the fire, and finding it dangerous to proceed John Blair Wills was on the 24th of March, 1855 ?— Wit- ness : Yes, that is the date of our marriage, I ' oeliovo.— Mr Fryer: Now, knowing that you had been married to Mr John Blair Wills in 1855, how came you to induce his brother, Mr James. Fenton Wilis, to marry you in August last ?— Wi cness: I did not induce him. He asked me to marry him. I am sure I did not ask him to marry me. Blair told mo he was anarried to Ann Good in 1851, and that I was not his legal wife, and that I had no claim on him.— Mr Elliot: Was it from yo* r belief that this was true, and the defendant asking you to marry him, that you were induced to do soP— Witness: Yes, certainV.— Mr Elliott: When were you taken from Bethlehem?— Witness: On the 3d of August. I thought my husband would have come and taken me away, but he did not. Fenton it was who took n> e.— Mr Elliott: Then you were taken away from Bethlehem ou the 3d aud married on the 21st of August.— Witness: Yes, I think those were the dates.— Mr Barnett here put in a copy of the form of notice of marriage given by the defende- nt on'the 19th of August, in which he described himself as a widower* and Marion Maxwell, his intended wife, as a spinster, and cont aining a printed declaration wherein it was stated that there was not the slightest legal impediment to the marriage, and that the said Marion Maxwell being under tho age of 21 years, the consent of her- mother had been obtained to her marriage.— Mrs Wills, in reply to the questions of the magistrate, said she had signed the declaration of marriage by desiro of the de- fendant, and declared that uo consent had been obtained from her mother to the marriage.— Mr Frj er addressed Uie court, and attributed the whole of the guilt to Mr John Blair Wills, who had so grossly imposed upon his brother, that, from motives of kindness, he was induced to ma- ry the young woman who was the object of the present inquiry. He then called Mr Peter Wills, a third brother, who deposed that in the early part of the last month he accompanied his brother Fenton to a place in the City, where they saw their brother Blair. At that interview there was a woman and a child about three years old, and the former his brother represented to be his wife and the latter their child: and, in confirmation of this, his brother produced a marriage certificate, dated 1851, which, he sr. id, was the certifi- cate of their marriage, aud added that Marion Maxwell was therefore no wifo of his, and had no legal claim on him for sup- port.— Mr Elliott: Did you examine the certificate to see at what church the marriage took place? Witness: No, I did not.— Mr Elliott: It is most extraordinary that you should not, jmd still more extraordinary that a proper investigation should not have taken place.— Mr Fryer hoped that, at all events, his worship would say there was an end to the summons his client had to answer.— Mr Elliott remarked that tho wholeof the circumstances of the case were the most extraordinary and in- explicable that could be well imagined. Here was a young woman perfectly neglected iu her affliction, and ou the mere mis- representation of one brother, that she had no legal claim upon him because of his previous marriage with another woman, another brother, without the slightest inquiry as to the truth or falsehood of the representation, marries her, and that, too, iu little more than a fortnight after her removal frota Beth- lehem, and before being perfectly recovered from her unfortu- nate malady. Whatever might be said of the present summons, it was perfectly clear that the defendant in f. fao notice he had given of his marriage had grossly violated an act of Parliament, by representing that which was untrue. It was quite clear that the statement that he had received the consent of the mother of the young woman to the second marriage was a gross misrepresentation, which the act of Parliament held to be an offence equal to perjury, and punishable as such, and'for this offence he ( Mr Elliott) would hold him accountable. He then ordered the defendant to put in bail to answer the charge of misrepresentation on a future day, and requested that Mr Barnett would have all the necessary witnesses in attendance to to complete it.— On Wednesday, James Fenton Wills was again to have been examined, but the accused, who had been admitted to bail, did not appear. Mr Elliott, therefore, ordered the re- cognizance (£ 160) to be estreated, and issued a warrant for his apprehension. How HONESTY IS ENCOURAGED AT SCOTLAND- YARD,— At Westminster, on Wednesday, an omnibus conductor made an application to Mr Paynter under the following circumstances :— Applicant said he had lately been ia the . service of the London General Omnibus Company, and on the 27th of June, 1856, found a purse, containing 10s in silver in his carriage. He im- mediately took it to the police- station of the V division of police, when it was forwarded to the lost property office of the com- missioners in Scotland- yard. As usual, at the expiration of 12 months from the time at which he found it, the money being unclaimed, he applied to the office respecting it, and was told that it had not yet " been sold." He expressed his surprise at the notion of selling a purse of money, and in two months called again, when he received the same reply. After a further interval of two months he repeated his application with no better success, and then wrote a private letter on the subject to Sir Richard Mayne, but received no answer. Applicaut had honestly com- plied with the law, instead of appropriating things found in the carriage to his own advantage, and produced two more certifi- cates of valuable property deposited, to show that he invariably took it to the Commissioners' Office. He was now out of em- ployment, and money would be cf service to him. The other things of which he had spoken had not yet been at the office the stipulated time to give him any claim respecting them.— Mr Paynter inquired whether he had been to the police- station where he left the things ?— Applicant replied that he had, and was told that they had been forwarded to the office in Scotland- yard.— Mr Payuter observed that he could not assist the com- plainant. All he could say was that many such Complaints had been made to him, and that there must ba soma gross neglect somewhere.— Applicant left tha court much dissatisfied, and in- timated that under such a state of things there was very little encouragement to honesty. BRONCHITIS.— The prevalence of this very distressing and oftentimes destructive disorder for many years past in this coun- try has placed it almost in the category of these English maladies which frequently even baffle the skill of the most experienced and able medical practitioners. It is, therefore, very satisfac- tory to know that a very simple and safe remed. y— Dr de Jongh's light- brown Cod Liver Oil— has been prescribed by the faculty in numerous cases of chronic bronchitis aiid throat affections, and has afforded not only immediate mitigation, but lias finally and effectually restored sufferers to permsuent health. The actual benefit derived is thus conclusively stated by Mr Arthur Cridland, an eminent surgeon in extensive practice at Brighton : —" Its effect on myself last winter was remarkable. I suffered from excessive irritation of the larynx, consequently I was greatly reduced in strength and appearance, and quite unable to attend to my professional duties. It occurred to me that the oil which I was frequently prescribing would benefit my own case, and, after taking it a few days, its good effect commenced, and at the end of six weeks I regained my usual health and strength, and had entirely lost the largyngial irritation, which was of a most harassing and fearfully distressing character."— DrdeJongh's Oil is only sold in imperial half- pints, 2s 6d; pints, 4s 9d; and quarts, Os, capsuled and labelled with his stamp and signature, without which none can be genuine, by his sole British consignees, Ansar, Harford, and Co, 77, Strar. d, London, and throughout the provinces by many respectable chemists. Proposed substitutions of other kinds cf cod liver oil should be strenuously resisted, 83 they will result iu disap- pointment. THE WESTMINSTER BELL.— It is now believed tliat; the cause of the fracture of the great beii designed for the Westminster Clock- tower has been scientifically ascertained. Experiments with the drill show that the bell was cavt much— namely, one inch and an eighth— thicker in the waist than it sfcould have been. A consequence of this excess was a great in crease in the weight of the bell, and a corresponding increase in the size of the clapper necessary to bring out the for sound. The clapper, however, must needs strike, not against the waist, which had - .. . - , - — x — been made needlessly strong, but against tha sound- bow, left re- further down, they retraced their steps, and between the bottom i Jatirely weak ; and hence, in the opinion cf scientific men ' he of the incline and the last dam which had been put in the fol- j fracture.

The success of Prioress in the Cesarewitch caused great gratification in America, when the news was made known, and we make the fellowing extracts from the New York papers upon the subject:— The Spirit of the Times, which coolly copies our report whole- sale without acknowledgment, proclaims that— " Prioress has at last won, aud has given a terrible fall to the knowing ones, the odds against her at starting being 100 to 1! " When the American horses were first entered for races in Eng- land, the handicappers, frightened at the supposed extraor- dinary powers of Mr Ten Broeck's flyers, weighted them too heavily, which either caused their withdrawal or defeat in every race. Latterly, however, the racing men of England have had rather too light an estimate of their abilities, though the handi- cappers appear to have exercised considerable judgment as to their merits. * * * * The result of the race was received with much pleasure by the majority of our citizens. True, some who were induced to back the American stable for the Goodwood, and lost their money, and subsequently bet against them on the Cesarewitch, and lost again, cry ' Swindle— hum- bug !' & c. Let those gentlemen take our advice, and make only such bets as they can win or lose without losing their temper, and they will receive the tidings of the triumphs and defeats of our horses with a feeling of rejoicing or sorrow rather than af anger* or disgust.—[ In like manner people should only write about what they really understand, and know to be truth.— ED. Bell's Life. l— For example, we told our readers how the Editor of the Eagle received the account of the Goodwood defeat; now read what he says of the receut victory :— " ' AMERICA AHEAD.— Hip, hip, hurrah— three cheers and a tiger— Prioress has won a race I The sublime genius of the American Constitution, laws, and people have been vindicated in horseflesh !

Let the stars and stripes be flung to the breeze from every hickory pole in the country, let the American Eagle flap its wings and c: row over the vanquished Lion; let all the bands strike up Yankee Doodle, pass round the lager, bring out your horse- pistols, and awake the universe with sounds of rejoicing. America is ahead! . " • Yankee Doodle, fire away, With capnon loud a » thusder, For with a nag called Prioress We've made John Bull knock under.* " The Herald says ;—' So Prioress has won at Newmarket, where the betting was 100 to 1 against her. It may be remarked that when she lost at Goodwood with the bets 30 to 1, that the Herald predicted she could and would win when the odds were long enough.* The writer ( continues the Spirit) would probably have Mr Ten Broeck iasist upon less odds being offered ; or, should English Turfmen persist in offering long oddF, that Mr T. B. ought to lose the race. The winning of the Cesarewitch is no extraordinary achievement, when we coHsider that El Hakim, a year younger, carried the same weight, and that Fright, also a three year old, ca- ried 31b more ; as for § ueeu Bess, she is among the poorest horses on the Turf in ugland. The best horses in the race gave Prioress a year and from 10 to 241b, whilst Warlock and Fisherman, 4 years, allowed her 301b and 36lb respectively— rather more than the Goodwood allowances, Thus much we say in justice to Mr Ten Broeck, and to show the folly of betting against a horse of such blood and pretensions as Prioress, with such allowances in her favour." IMPORTANT TO RACING MEN. IRWIN V OSBOENE, BURKE, AND ANOTHER.— In the Dublin Exchequer Chamber, on the 18th instant, this cause, carried by writ of error from the Queen's Bench, was brought by the plaintiff in error, who was also the plaintiff below. The action was one brought to recover a sum of £ 100, and the summons and plaint stated that a contract had been entered to run a match at Killarney between a mare called The Nugget and another called Thessaly, at certain weights, the best in three heats of a mile each to be the winner, and to receive the £ 100. The terms were play or pay, and Mr James H. Coatesworth was to be the starter. Mr Irwin backed The Nugget, and the others Thessaly, and the event was to be determined , on the 20th of August, 1855. The Nugget came on the course on the day in question, and walked over, Thessaly not being forthcoming, and the £ 100 was claimed as having been won. Two of the defendants pleaded that Thessaly was disabled from running by an injury, to the occasioning of which Irwin was a party ; but this defence was displaced by the finding of the jury; and Burke pleaded as a further defence that the transaction was void as a wagering one, under the provisions of the 8th and 9th Vietoria. The Queen's Bench held th at it was void under the statute, and the j udgment for plaintiff was accordingly arrested. The present writ of error was therefore brought to review that decision in reference to a question of general interest to sporting men. The statute upon which the question arose is the 8th and 9th Victoria, chap 109, section 18, which enacts —" That all contracts or agreements, whether \ by parole or in writing, by way of gaming or wagering, shall be null and void; and that no suit shall be brought or maintained in any oourt of law or equity for recovering any sum of money or valuable thing alleged to be won upon any wager, or which shall have been deposited in the hands of any person to abide the event on which any wager shall have been made; provided always that this esactment shall not be deemed to apply to any sub- scription, or contribution, or agreement to subscribe or contri- bute for or towards any plate or sum of money, to be awarded to the winner of any lawful game, sport, pastime, or exercise." For the plaintiff it was submitted that the case came within the pro- viso. ard was protected j while on the other side it was insisted that this was clearly a wager, and within all the mischiefs meant to be provided against by the statute. The Chief Baron delivered judgment first, as he differed in opinion from the other members of the court. His lordship re- ferred to the provisions of the English statutes of the 13th George II., chap 19, sees 3 and 4, and 18th George II., chap 32, and to decisions founded upon them; one reported in 4th Bur- rougb, avid tha other Evans v Pratt, in 4th Scott's reports, and holding that they recognised as legal such a match as that made by the parties in the present suit, he saw nothing in the 8th and 9th Victoria to make it illegal. The words of the last statute did not appear to him to include such a match, and make it null and void, and it was not illegal previously. He was therefore of opinion that the judgment below wAs erroneous, and that there ongh: to be an award of a venire de novo. The Chief Justice chiefly delivered the opinion of the rest of the judges in affirmance of the deoision below. It did not ap- pear to him necessary to go into a consideration of the statutes antecedent to the 8th and 9th of Victoria, because the 18th sec- tiou of that statute was so explicit that it was impossible to raise a doubt upon it. The Legislature in the most general terms declared what should be null and void as a wager, and there was nothing in the proviso to give validity to the contract declared upon. The judgment below was affirmed with costs. Chelmsford Races will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 22d and 23d of June, under the management of Mr Clark, of Newmarket. The stewards are Lord Wm. Powlett, Admiral Sous, W. P. Honeywood, Esq, Sir T. P. Lennard, Bart, M. P., and James Parker, Esq. Most of the shares for the proposed new stand have been taken, and as the prospectus is the same as the one so successfully carried out at Ascot, the remaining shares will probably soon be disposed of. FITBTNIGHT.— This well- known race horse has been purchased through Messrs Tattersall by Colonel White of Virginia, and we congratulate our American friend on having obtained a horse so likely from bis combining all the most distinguished strains of blood in England, and his performances, which were first- rate until he unfortunately brake down after winning the Ascot Derby* to become one of the most distinguished sires that have ever ieft this country. Princess Royal, by Joe Lovell, was sold on Thursday last at Shrewsbury, for SOgs, and has gone into W. Norton's stable at Codford,. Wilts. Mr Baniett'a horses have left Helman's for H. E, May's stables, Cheltenham. Shirah was sold on Thursday last, and goes into J. Lowe's stabbat Ilsley. Mr Ji. R. Phillips has purchased Ellington, and he will stand at Willesden Paddocks next season. Mr Armstrong sold Honeydew immediately after running in She Shrewsbury Nursery. Mr B.

REVIEW OF TEE RACING SEASON OF 1857. TO THE EDITOR 03? BELL'S LI? E IN LONDON. SIR: In reviewing, according to annual custom, the chief events iu the racing season that has just transpired, it is im- possible not to be struck with the amount of " in and out" running which we have witnessed in every race of more than ordinary interest; and this year, those who stuck to that great test of picking out winners— public running— must have infal- libly found themselves in the wrong box. That the sport has been both glorious and unprecedented I am not prepared to deny, but as e^ ch great race came on in succession, new sur- prises awaited us, commencing, I may urge, with the rheumatic Vedette in the Two Thousand, and concluding with the all but discarded Prioress in the Caesarewitch. I will say nothing now of how the Chester Cup was won by the " standard" favourite, of the wonderful resurrection of Blink Banny, of the contretemps whereby the best horse of his year— feaunterer— was deprived of the Derby, of the unlooked- for loss aud recovery of form of Leamington at Ascot and Goodwood, of the casualties which happened to Gemma di Vergy and others in the Cup there, of the ignominious defeat of Merlin at York by her stable companion El Hakim, or of the still more extraor- dinary turning of the tables by John Scott with ImpMeuse upon his northern rivals, because it is my intention to deal with each of those circumstances seriatim, and I have merely quoted them now to bear out my statement, that public running has been more negatived during tha past season than it has been within the memory of any living sportsman. At all the large meetings at which we have assisted the fields of horses have been infinitely larger than they were wont to be, and not the least interesting item of them was the infusion of the " Illus- trious Strangers," whose reception must have convinced their owners that they have had as much chance given them of win- ning as they would have enjoyed in their own country; and it ia gratifying to our own amour propre to reflect that English artistes achieved for them the honours of which they are so proud. Throughout the year also there have been but few glaring examples of impropriety of conduct, and although at several meetings the " milkers" were in full force, the public acting upon the advice tendared to them in these columns took the remedy in their own hands, and the desired result was attained. Wewillnowproceedwithour " Pencillingsby the Way." Lincoln issued the first card of the season, and considering the reminiscences of former years, it was better filled than could be expected. Mr Parr, as usual, was among the " early birds," and the " puce and white" jacket. on Apathy in the Trial Stakes inaugurated the fortunate career of the Wantage stable. Hun- tington, in the Spring Handicap, gave the first token of that speed which afterwards proved so useful to Mr Mellish iu his iine with Adamas for the Derby, and Greenwich Fair won the Two Year Old Stakes so easily that she promised to be a teazer to the young ones who were feeling their way. At Nottingham two goed days' sport may be always calculated upon. Apathy and Greenwich Fair won their respective en- gagements as easily as in the previous week, and that curious- tempered horse, St Glare, thanks to Fordham's fine riding, and the Early Bird's temper, contrived to get through the Spring Handicap. Derby, as far as the events on the flat are considered, was a kind of supplement to Lincoln, only Mr Parr managed to " put down" Greenwich Fair with York, who only once afterwards ran anything like up to that form. Liverpool, although more dependent upon its " Grand Na tional" than its legitimate races, furnished some interesting sport, and Fishermau, upon making his debut for the season, gave Special Licence six- and- twenty pounds iu the Trial Stakes and beat him in a canter,— a performance he was unable to repeat at the wind- up of the season. The Spring Cup field was moderate, both in numbers and quality, and in the hands of the accomplished jockey who subsequently won upon her the week after at Doncaster Mary would have been " about doing" Bashi Bazouk, who, however, subsequently showed his par- tiality to this course, to tho advantage of his owner and friends. Doncaster Spring spoke volumes for the exertions of Messrs Johnson and Hatfield, whose establishment of " The Hopeful" was a happy move in the right direction, as the names of the twenty- one runners indicated. Peregrine was made the favourite, but owing to a casualty which occurred to him he did not prove " thepickle" that MrParr intended, audPolly Peach urn's goodness was proved beyond a doubt bysuch animals asMainstay, Heroine, Yaller Gal, Lady Alice, and Old Times being " spread- eagled" behind her. In the Trial Stakes Odd Trick's speed enabled him to defeat Centurion, one of the Woodyates " cracks;" but in the longer distance in the Handicap the " trick" was lost early in the game, and the race being run exactly to suit Mary it is needless to add " Nat" took advantage of it, and made his ab- sence from her at Liverpool more to be regretted. St Giles made his first bow in the Betting Room Stakes, and although he beat nothing it was clear the stable thought highly of him. Salisbury, although so wide apart, and celebrated within four- and- twenty hours afterwards, in weather more congenial to Norway than this country, was fairly patronised, through the connections of the great stables surrounding it. The Wiltshire Stakes being a bad handicap, drew a bad field, and Apatby aroused the natives from their torpidity by winning in such a canter as shortly afterwards to find him a new owner at a considerable advance upon the price which Mr Parr ori- ginally gave for him when a yearling at Doncaster. Had Cresswell, on Tame Deer, however, known the course better, and not been afraid of becoming a " child of the mist," the result might have beeu different. Ia the Two Year Old Stakes, William Day carried all before him with Happy Land; and in the Three Year Old Biennial Vaulter acquired a short- lived notoriety from beating Tricolour ( dead amiss), and Martinet, who had not improved an ounce since last year, The Queen's Plate was the first of the series that fell into Fisher- man's net during the season. Warwick Spring, always a favourite " meet," lost none of its interest now by the meeting of Fisherman, Gemma di Vergy, Wentworth, Melissa, and Stork in the Trial Stakes. The betting upon this affair was as heavy as the excitement was intense, but the struggle was not so close as was anticipated, and Gemma was beaten easily by Fisherman, Melissa having apparently lost all her last year's form. Tame Deer's easy victory in the Great Warwick Handicap showed the validity of the excuse made for him at Salisbury, and caused both M. D. and Adamas to be talked about in earnest for the Derby. Mr Barber, in the small Handi- caps, carried all before him with Lord Nelson and the Prince of Orange, and Captain Little's luck on this course did not desert him. Northampton, under the direction of Messrs Marshal), was as aristocratic in the charaoter of its attendance, malgre the poli- tical crisis, as ever, and the sport fully realized the expectations of the most sanguine. Notwithstanding the improvements made in the course, the Trial Stakes, won by Flacrow in a canter, was not got through without an accident, as Lord Nelson ran into Wentworth, and threw Dales heavily, besides placing Alfred Day hors de combat for the week. Queen's Plate number two went to Fisherman, and then the first of the Spring Handicaps was decided. St Giles, supported with great spirit, somewhat shook the confidence of Skirmisher's backers, although the trainer of the latter was sanguine to the last moment of his success; and to this pair and Adamas was the betting chiefly confined. Tho latter, little better than half prepared, and suf- fering moreover from cracked heels, ran well to the turn, from whence to the winning post it was as clearly a match between the two Peers as it was between Fandango and Corcebus for the Metropolitan three years ago, but in the end Lord Ribblesdale's colt won cleverly by a neck more, as the men of Richmond asserted, by Challoner's inability to get their horse out, than by the merits of the winner, an opinion I am quite prepared to indorse. The advance of Skir- misher ( who astonished us all by the absence of that savage dis position which he so frequently exhibited in public last season) to a forward place in the Derby betting was of course the sequitur of such a performance. In the Whittlebury, Gemma di Vergy ap- peared to very great advantage, for some of those behind him were thought highly of, and he won " in a walk." The Northampton Cup was a pleasant introduction to the second day's sport, although the entry was below par. The Althorpe Park was the best race of the meeting for the Ring, as the St Giles winnings and the horse's previous successes at Salisbury caused odds to be laid ou Happy Land; but he was unable to give nine pounds to the speedy bred Eurydice, whose success everybody was re- joiced at, inasmuch as that it proved a lucky inauguration of a new beginner. The handicapping for Lord Spencer's Plate is invariably first- rate, the majority of the races for it being won by a head, or neck, as Ephesus, Foxhunter, and others can testify, and now the dead heat between Peter Flat and Cumberland quite kept up the charter. In the St Liz Handicap Saraband gave a lot of weight to a respec- table field, and beat them cleverly, and as the winner of the Cambridgeshire, receiving more than two stene, could not get before him, Saraband proved a most desirable trial horse for Mr Howard's Derby team. The Racing Stakes, in which Gemma di Vergy bowled over St Giles ( between whom the betting was heavy) very easily, wound up this capital meet- ing amid universal applause. Ilsley Spring Meeting, for a by day, served the purposes for which it was got up, and on future occasions will doubtless be strengthened. Croxton Park " dragged its slow length along" the two days prior to " The Metropolitan ;" but some allowance must justly be made for the absence of even its usual spirit, by the melan- choly occurrence which had just taken place, and which de- prived the county of a beneficent landlord, and the ranks of the peerage of one of its most estimable members. The sport being only interesting at the moment, I shall not dwell upon it, but pass on at once to Epsom. Here we found one of those really " correct cards" for which Mr Dorling is so famous, and the visitors would have been hard to please if they had not been contented with head and head races for both the great handicaps. A baker's dozen ran for the City and Suburban, and Adamas, backed for very little by his party, showed his fine speed aud breeding by upsetting two tremendous " pots" in Wardersmarke and St Giles, and astonished the natives afterwards still more in negativing the idea of his being only a miler, by being only beaten a head for the Metropolitan after a long and severe struggle with Poodle, who had the ground and pace made for him. The nartiality of the Surrey folks subsequently for the Derby was therefore not sur- prising, In the Two Year Old Stake, Polly Peachum, being still m form, nothing had a chance with her, and she won the third consecutive stoie ia a oaater,— Yours, & c, OBSERVER.

Judge : Mr R. Johnson. Starter: Mr Hibburd. Clerk of the Course and Lesee : Mr John Frail. Localities, fortunately, are " few and far between " where so much as the disposition remains to continue racing in rank de- fiance of all sound rule and order. It must not, however, be forgotten that whilst all places of importance have become sub- servient to the " powers that be," the stronghold of opposition has again to be stormed, a duty we most gladly would have been spared at the termination of an eventful and so far felicitous season. But the hour has arrived when all organs having the genuine welfare of the Turf at heart should speak out unhesi- tatingly in its behalf, though it is easy to discern that the " game of speculation " so long played at Shrewsbury is fast hastening its own close: for, in spite of recent vauntings about an agitation to repeal the present wholesome restrictions on selling races, events of the past week have rather shown " how not to do it!" The now palpable falling off in the entries for races of that description, under the Salopian code, sufficiently attests that owners and trainers are growing heartily sick of the game too, as well they might when mulct in every instance of " so much to the fund" and other innumerable fees into the bargain. Under such monstrous provisions the national pastime becomes a secondary consideration, if indeed consulted at all, and suffers in the ratio of most institutions when public benefit converges to private individual gain. If, on the other hand, the fund will not admit of abandonment, or mouification, or reasonable condition- ing of the species of racing referred to, then, for credit's sake, drop the affair entirely, or, at all events, as we have frequently recommended, confine it to one meeting a year, which is quite sufficient at Shrewsbury, Ludlow, and such like places, where racing, as it stands, is sadly " overdone." Broad sheets and an excess of items ( the " added" mftney to many of which is here paltry in the extreme, and, in fact, comes out of the pockets of the owners themselves) constitute by no means what is termed a " great" meeting; nor can it fail to convince that to stakes ( very few) not hampered with auctions is attributable annually the presence of respectable bookmakers. Again, we ask, how much longer are visitors to elbow their way, through gangs of thimble riggers, card- men, and the scum ofthievedom, who ply their avocations unmolested, save in the non payment of the ground they occupy ? Magisterial interference elsewhere has long since knocked on the head this worst of nuisances, and why not here ? We must leave others to answer the question, assured that nothing further need be urged to bear out " Ob- server's" assertion in last week's impression, that the whole paraphernalia calls imperatively for a " sweeping reform !" Tuesday morning found the course sticky, with any quantity of mud covering its approaches, rain having falienauring the night, and scarcely ceased until about two hours before the starting point, when the wind chopped round to the dry quarter, and an occasional gleam of sunshine made things pleasant overhead. The Racing Plate not filling seven races were left ou the card, on which, first in order, was the Abbey Stakes, won by the favourite Oltenitza, after a good set- to with Laverna. The Two Year Old Sweepstakes proved a mere canter for Yaller Gal. South Western, regarded as a " first- rate thing" for the Shorts Handi- cap, became a " hot- un" in the ring, but breaking away, and ruuning all over the course, finally capsized the pot, though he knocked under to Orianda by a short half- length only. Seven- teen next showed for the Shrewsbury Handicap, and afforded a most interesting race, eclipsing the rest of the afternoon's sport put together. Red Rose looked so well on paper that she car- ried some heavy investments, but she was deficient of speed when called upon in the final struggle; and Vandal cutting out the work into " the straight" tne last time, discovered that he might have gone farther, if not all the way, had something been pressed into the service to make running. El Hakim, however, not in great odour, came on in ad- vance in such easy style ou the retirement of the pair men- tioned, that for the moment the issue seemed all over but shout- ing, when St Giles, most patiently ridden, came like a thunder- clap inside the distance, and wrested the palm from the Rich- mond horse by a neck. The Anglesea Stakes brought out four yearlings, of whom Tomboy, brother to Msry, aud a very racing- like colt, made most of the running, but only contrived to stall off Fordham, on Sister to Loyola ( now called Schism), who was much fancied by her party, by a head only. Englemere, as anti- cipated, disposed of a brace of opponents for the Aristocratic Plate, in hollow style; and the first day's proceedings, unmarked by delay of any kind, terminated punctually to the minute at four o'clock with the Astley House Stakes, wherein Polly Johnson, with at least a stone the worst of the weights, made running at a strong pace, and tired in the last few strides, disappointing a host of admirers, and was beaten easily at last by Geneva. On Wednesday the attendance was quite up to the average of steeple chase days, a cheap " special" for the week bringing a good sprinkling of Turfites from Man- chester and the neighbouring districts. By advancing " The Column" from Thursday, eight items were presented for discus- sion to- day, when the Severn Stakes and a Selling Stake re- opened the ball. Neither, however, created particular interest, though the defeat of Keystone for the latter was quite an unexpected turn- up for the fielders. Seventeen runners— exactly the same number that contested the principal event of yesterday— were next telegraphed for the Corporation Plate, for which Augury was in great force, but a remarkably fine race resulted in Katherine Logie repeating cleverly her victory of last year. Heroine, backed heavily by her owner, pulled off the Foregate Stakes, but with nothing to spare. Eleven then went to the post for the Column Handicap. Stork, brought out by his new trainer, Charles Thorpe, in tip- top condition, became all the rage, and carrying the stable money fully justified thtir confidence by landing the needful after a splendid struggle with his Lambourue neighbour, Monsieur Dobler, who was also in request and supported for money, many good judges being of opinion that the placing would have been reversed had Covey kept his position in making the bottom turn, aud not allowed " Old Joe" to slip him. This introduced the " Grand (?) Chase," which partook more of flat racing than the " ups aud downs' 5 usually incidental to cross- country performances, whereat visitors very naturally grumbled at being mulcted in the charge of 10s per head at tho Stand to witness the most tame affair of the kind on record. It, how- ever, produced speculation, and Odiham was selected to do battle, but his jumping was much inferior to former essays, and the winner turned up in Tom Moody, a rank outsider, whose previous doings in this line will be remembered over the Here- ford " clods" in March last, when he ran second to Jack Barber. Then, as now, Tom was most steadily ridden by the same gentle- man, and to- day he won with the greatest ease imaginable. Any chance the once celebrated Escape possessed ou the score of gameness was cast into the shade for want of better under- standings. There were four entries for the Selling Hurdle, next on the card, but, fortunately, with declining day, it was de- clared off by consent. Darkness, in fact, had set iu, when a magnificent struggle for the Hurdle Race between old Romeo and Brompton, won by the former, again released the company from a bleak and nipping atmosphere. On Thursday a pro- digious list of no less than ten races, with another for beaten horses to boot, might have puzzled the multitude, how, in the name of uncommon activity, all was to be got through with safety, and a faithful story thereof reudered by the hard- worked representatives of the press. Fixing the races to succeed each other at intervals of a score minutes, was nonsense to the letter; for, what with ordinary preliminaries and inHumerable delays at starting, .. nearly an hour was lost ere the result of the third appointment was hoisted at the judge's box. Leaden- looking clouds, a bitter nor'- easter, and other well- known concomitants of dreary November, annihilated any enjoyment that might have proceeded from good competition and large, fields, the wretched exhibitions of a majority of the animals composing which showed how completely they were " used up," after incessant work, com- mencing in February last. After Princess Royal had placed " the Longleath" to the credit of her owner, a baker's dozen showed for the " Nursery," for which Windham was " the pick," but the Dupe colt proved the better youngster. 5 to 4 was taken freely about Augury for the Stewards' Cup, and who ran game to tha finish, but got bowled over by Breeze rather easily. Forget Me Not, with 2 to 1 on her, won the Scurry in a trot. The Gold Cup, a new race, suc- ceeded, Special Licence of course engrossing the lion's share of attention; after him Little Davie was well thought of, so much so that he went for a dollop of " rowdy ;" but the " crack" cut down the field half a mile from home, and won in even more hollow style than when last week he also cantered away with the great Liverpool trophy. That added to Mr Merry's store to- day was at all points a most magnificent and chastely de- signed production of art, in the shapo of a massive epergue jug, standing nearly three feet high, and could net have weighed less than from twenty to twenty- five pounds. This ended, Master Bagot ran a lot of fourteen to a stand- still in the Fifty Sovs Plate, and subsequently repeated the trick, with all the extras in an event of the same description. Eardrop and Miss Waters were alone mentioned for a selling affair that fol- lowed, but neither took part in the race, through the latter whipping round when the flag fell, aud the other stopping to bear her company. Peto, a rattling favourite, won the Monk- moor ; Chester, invariably a winner when asked, secured the Welter Cup, and, lastly, Master Bagot's second triumph, above referred to, was effected in positive darkness. This put a beaten race out of the question, though, such is the tenacity to running over this ground, that on the way to the town wo actually met three animals en route to contend for it, the boys not having been apprised of the official notification declaring it off. Nobody could find fault with the general quality of the sport, the main complaint being that there was just oae half too much of it. In justice to the official department we must not omit an annual compliment upon the effective way each and all laboured to afford satisfaction. The worthy judge, Johnson, as usual, ad- mirably sustained his iorte in the discrimination of " near things," having taken stock of no fewer than ninety horses in the last day's runniutr. The office of starter was indeed no sinecure, but Mr Hibburd was too painstaking to allow the smallest inuendo on the score of favour or affection. The meet- ing so far went off spiritedly, barring the stale and exploded selling business, all taking part in which will perhaps remember that the stewards at any recognised meeting te come have the power not to handicap norses thus performing iu contravention of the Newmarket rule.

Florence and Unexpected ran in front for the first hundred yards, when the latter took up the running and carried it on to the bottom, where he ruptured a blood vessel and was stopped immediately. Echo then showed in advance, but cutting it at the distance, Oltenitza, Laverna, and Florence thence came on nearly level ( though widely apart) to the Stand, where the latter dropped away, and the favourite holding a trifle the best of it to the end won a good race by a head; the third beaten a length from the second, and finishing thrice as far before Echo, after whom Spinet was fifth, and Little Dorrit next, Unexpected walking in.

The fa- vourite delayed the start by taking a quarter of a mile gallop; directly his head was turned to rejoin the others he again broke away, this time tearing, as if wild, round the top, past the Stand, and nearly to the bottom df the long length. When at last got to the post, Trot jumped eff with the lead, but in a few strides Esperance rushed through his horses from the rear aud took up the running, succeeded in a cluster by South Western, Admiral of the White, Trot, and Orianda. Turning into tha straight the latter drew into third place, aud on the retirement of the grey at the distance, was left in attendance on the fa- vourite, whom she deprived of the lead at the Stand, and de- feated cleverly by half a length, double that interval dividing second and third. At a still wider gap Queen of the South was fourth, Thistledown fifth, Madame Clicquot sixth, Trot and Brother to Laird Duff next; Oyster Girl last. Run in lmin28sec.

Pyrrhus the Second twice broke away, in the first instance over- powering the boy from below the distance ( the startiug point) to the upper bend. Two or three failures were also caused by the more eager of the troop, of which Vandal at length took com- mand directly tho signal was given. Shirah, the light weight, and Red Rose followed, nearly abreast, at his heels; Pantomime, Emulator, aud Grey Pyrrhus headed the next division; Hamlet losing start, figured at least twenty lengths astern of the ruck, whilst Knight of Avon, still less fortunate to begin, whipped in two hundred yards behind everything at the turn going out. At the far side a clear length each separated Red Rose and Pyrrhus the Second from Sir Charles Monck's horse; Pantomime now going ou fourth, Shirah fifth, the grey next; succeeded by Emu- lator, Tiff, and El Hakim, at the head of a closely packed lot, im- mediately in tha wake of which were St Giles, Ruth, and The Tattler. But little variation occurred in their positions until a second time approaching the Stand, where Red Rose, Panto mime, and Emulator lay immediately behind Vandal, El Hakim aud Grey Pyrrhus composing the next couplet, and after them Hobgoblin, Tiff, Hamlet, Mr Copeland's colt, St Giles, and Ruth, in the order named; Knight of Avon still pursuing a hopeless stern chase. On the retreat of the old horse iu the next two hundred yards, Hobgoblin took fourth place, aud ran side by side with Emulator and El Hakim down the back stretch, nearly three lengths dividing them from Vandal ( with Red Rose at his shoulders) still leading. Grey Pyrrhus aud Tiff followed this division to the bottom and were then passed by St Giles, who lay sixth to the straight, turning- into which Vandal was in trouble, and Red Rose showed slightly in advance te the dis- tance, where she, too, was in difficulties, and El Hakim next the rails took up the running. Half way up St. Giles came with a rush on the outside, collared and headed the leader at the Stand, and won a magnificent struggle by a neck; Red Rose stopping in the last thirty yards enabled Ruth, going on to the finish, to save her stake three lengths from the second, and about a length before the mare, close up with whom Vandal was fifth, and Hob- foblin next; Grey Pyrrhus straggled in seventh, Tiff eighth, imulator ninth, Hamlet and Breeze after them. Pantomime ( who broke down), Shirah, Good Friday, The Tattler, and Knight of Avon, did not pass the post. Run in 4min 35sec.

After a little wheeling and turning, Mr Hibburd dropped his flag as the quartette drew into a perfect cluster. Willie, quickest on his legs, showed in advance, aud led them a " cracker" to the half distance, where, not being half prepared, his bolt was shot, aud Tomboy took up the running. Just below the Stand it looked any odds on the latter, but matters were again doubtful for the moment in the rush of Schism, who, how- ever, failed to get quite up, and was defeated by a short head, Bachelor finishing five lengths from the second.

South Western cut out the work for about a quarter of a mile, after which Englemere came on by herself, and won in a canter by six lengths. South Western, following on second to the distance, stopped there, and did not pass the post, thus having to hand over a " fiver" to the King, without so much as venturing a " squeak" for it.

Seven or eight failures preceded the start, in which several broke away, those most prominent on two occasions being Raven, Lady Aintree, Augury, and Timotheus, but the delay was as much owing to the division apparently not desirous of get- ting well away at all. The flag, consequently, fell to a not very even start. Lady Aintree was the first off, waited on by Sneeze, Maid of Cadiz, Badsworth, the favourite, and Welham, to the half- mile post, when the latter drew into second place, and being directly joined by Badsworth, the forward two raced together to about the centre of the bottom, where the light- weight was beaten, aud Welham took up the running, the grey going on second, Augury third, and Katherine Legie ( creeping up is the previous fifty yards) next. In this way they proceeded to the distance, where Welham compounded; Katherine, the favourite, and Badsworth thence taking close order, and coming on nearly abreast to the lower end of the saddling enclosure, from whence the issue lay between the first- named pair, the four- year old retaining just the best of it to the end, and winning cleverly by a neck. Pour lengths divided second and third, and a length the third and fourth, Welham well up with the latter, Lady Aintree sixth; the next lot finishing in a ruck, comprising Vic- toria, The Prince, Queen of the East, Pyrrhus the Second, and Sneeze; Bel Esperanza, Polmoodie, and Raven bringing up the rear.

Yaller Gal jumped off with the lead, with Marauder and July in attendance to the Stand, when the favourite ( last from the post) reached them on the outside, got her head in advance, and won a splendid race, with the three placed, by a neck, the second beat- ing the third by the same. Three lengths off, July was fourth, Spinet fifth, Queen Lily sixth, Trabuco next, the two last named not being persevered with from the half distance. Run in 48sec.

Dobler, and 10 to 1 each agst The Tattler and Madame Rachel. El Hakim turned fractious at the post, declined to go near his horses, and thus got badly off when the start was effected. Stork was first to show prominently in advance, but being directly pulled back, Ruth was lelt in command, followed by Shirab, M. Dobler, Prest- bury, The Tattler, Madame Rachel and Stork, El Hakim a long way last of everything. They ran much in this order to the top of the course, where Shirah took up the running, but gave way to The Tattler, who joined in front soon alter entering the back stretch, having the Frenchman, Shirah, Madame Rachel, Breeze, and Octavia laid up on either side for about a quarter of a mile further, when the laveurite emerged from the middle of the ruck, cleared his horses iu a few strides, and showed the way on the inside ground to the straight. At this point Shirah and The Tattler disappeared from the front division, in fact everything now became tailed off except M. Dobler, who waited upon Stork to the distance, and closing with him half- way up, the pair ran locked together to the chair, the heavy weight win- ning a magnificent struggle on the post by a head. Octavia, finishing ten lengths from the second, saved her stake, a length before Brteze; Madame Rachel being fifth, Red White and Blue sixth; El Hakim next cantered in, and after him came Arta, Ruth, Shirah, Prestbury, and The Tattler, all widely scat- tered.

Of the strangers introduced in the above to a Salopian audience, Tom Moody excited considerable partiality by an extraordinary leap at the Stand hurdles in his preliminary canter. When fairly under way, Innkeeper showed in the van, with Escape lying wide on his right; Xanthus and Moire Antique followed iu their track ; Odiham, Knight of the Shire, Red Rose, and Bellman travelled on next together, aud several lengths in their wake came Tom Moody and Blind Harper. In these positions they crossed the flight of hurdles facing the Stand, and streamed on to the second fence in the enclosure, which Innkeeper declined, leaving Escape at the head of affairs, waited on by Odiham, lloire Antique, aud Tom Moody, Iunkeeper, who took his leap at the second asking, now figuring in the extreme rear. On the retirement of Escape, in the next quarter of a mile, Odiham was left in command, succeeded by Tom Moody and Xanthus, as the horses re- entered the course in tho bottom, and sailed on at a slightly improved pace to the outer line, diverging from the straight near the distance, where Moira Antique lay fourth, succeeded by Knight of the Shire, Escape, Innkeeper, and Blind Harper, all in tolerably close order; a score lengths or so divided this lot and Bellman, twice as far from whom Red Rose now hopelessly struggled on, having taken her leaps most unkindly from the commencement, ana getting further behind at each successive obstacle (?) in her way. After again making the Red House turn, young Ben put on more steam, aud regained the enclosure three or four lengths ahead of the Herefordshire horse and Xanthus. Except that Innkeeper drew forward after a second time quitting the mea- dows, aud passed Xanthus before coming to the gorse opposite the Stand in the. outside line above referred to, matters proceeded much iu the same way last described, until arriving at the bit of a jump itself, which, however, brought the light weight nearly to grief on lauding, and Xanthus resumed his former position, Innkeeper, quickly recovering himself, once more going on fourth, with Moire Antique and Knight of the Shire directly in his wake ; the rest were now completely tailed off, but all kept in pursuit save Red Rose, whose rider stopped her at the top of the long length the last time, put her head round, and returned to the paddock. On reaching the far side, Knight of the Shire, too, dropped into the rearward company, and others following suit in the ensuing three or four hundred yards, the remainder admits of little description. Odiham maintained the lead to the fence entering the course for the finish, where Tom Moody went up, jumped it a good deal the quickest, and then coming ou by himself won iu a cauter by two lengths. The others straggled iu at wide intervals in the order Mr Johnson placed them, except Escape, who walked into the paddock without troubling that functionary.

The leader's advantage, however, gradually decreased down the back stretch, so that in the bottom Glautias got up to her head, but was instantly pulled back, whereupon Brompton rushed in front, and making use of his light impost, soon headed his oppo- nent by at least forty yards. Retaining this position for the ensuing mile, it looked any odds upon him to the distance, be- tween which point and the paddock Romeo lessened the gap at every stride, and, collaring Brompton at the Stand, won, after a short but severely contested finish, by a head ; Arab Maid a bad third ; the others walking in ; Boadicea having stopped, after passing the Stand in the second round.

There were several failures, in which Special Licence, Vandal, Victoria, Laodamia, and Eifrida re- spectively exhibited impatience for the journey, until at length Pritchard took the favourite some distance into the rear, ex- pecting the others would follow. The example, however, was only partially observed, when the word was given, and the " crack" was last from the post; but in less time than it takes to write it, he cleared the whole of his horses, and with Little Davie at his girths, came on iu advance for about half a mile, when the latter obtained a slight lead ; Eifrida lying a couple of lengths from the pair, with Laodamia, Vandal, and King of Scotland at her heels, the remainder being already widely scat- tered, with Cotswold, as usual, slow to begin, whipping in. At the Red House turn the favourite again took up the running, but the little " black- un," not to be denied, stuck at the leader's shoulders along the far side to the half- mile post, where his bolt was shot, and Eifrida became the follower of Special Licence, who, after entering the straight, came right away, and increasing his advantage at every stride, won in a canter by ten lengths. The rest looked on quietly to the Stand, when recollection of second money set the riders ef Vandal and Laodamia at work again, a smart struggle ending in favour of the top- weight by a head. Knight of Avon finished a length from the third, King of Scotland was fifth, and Little Davie next; the others walked in. Run in 3miu.

Half an hour was lost in getting the lot in anything like order, Prince's Mixturs having twice indulged in tolerably lengthy gallops. Master Bagot, however, took the lead the instant the flag fell, with Prince's Mixture, Orianda, and Englemere packed on either side at his quartf rs for about a hundred yards, when the latter took up the running, but Master Bagot resuming the pre- miership at the half mile post, was rot caught afterwards, and woain a canter by a length, Queen of the South shooting from the ruck at the half distance, finishing six lengths before Octavia. It would be useless to asiigu places to the remainder, as all behind the first three had ceased riding from below the Stand, but those trotting in next were Eifrida, Englemere, Practice, Ruth, and Sillica.

Frail, Shrewsbury. FRIDAY, Nov 20.— Few speculators assisting at the principal Salopian town, missed the opportunity of moving ou to Ludlow to wind up the week, and with it the season also. A capital I bill of fare, we trust, left none to repent the visit. The Scurry Stakes, however, proved the best " hit" of the batch, inasmuch as Welham, the winner, was never mentioned. A new race, got upo a the ground, which proved a mere canter for Nougat, sadly interfered with otherwise admirable arrangements ia causing the Hurdle Race to be run when the horses could no i longer make out the timber. The turf, as it here invariably is, I was in splendid order, and a spring- like day brought matters, ! on the whole, to a pleasant termination. The WINDSOR STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 20 added, for two year olds and upwards; weight for age, certain penalties and allowances; the winner to be sold for 20 sovs; about three furlongs ( straight run in); 4 subs.

The running was made by Alfred, who to the bottom turn was followed by Queen of the South aud Florence, when the latter died away aud took his place. At the distance tha favourite, who got off badly, joined in front and deprived Alfred of the lead half way up, but Welham going up in the next few strides, headed Eardrop at the Stand, and won cleverly by a length ; Fordham making an effort at tha finish beat the favourite twice as far, and about the same divided third and fourth; Amorous Boy cantered in fifth, and after in the order named were Alfred, Florence, and Unexpected. There were no bidders for the winner. The BURWARTON NURSERY HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs, for two year olds; three quarters of a mile. * J Mr E. L. Hope's Keystone, by Touchstone, 6st Bray 1 * t Mr J.

No change of moment in these positions occurred until reaching the half mile post, when Vandal, Queen of the South, and Laodamia joined in front, came away, and finished the race by themselves, and the Hednesford horse showing in advance at the straight, won easy by three parts of a length, two lengths between secend and third. At a wide interval Prince's Mixture was fourth, Knight of Avon fifth, Blue Bell next, the last two being Peto aud Lady Hercules.

STEVENS'S BREAD- MAKING MACHINE.— We have much plea- sure in calling attention to Mr Stevens's patent bread- making machine, which entirely makes our principal aliment without the gross and dirty labour of raising, tossing, and plunging the dough about with men's arms, hands, and feet. Bread- making is still a cruel labour; every part of a baker's body is soon over flowing with perspiration, which falls in large drops, and is amalgamated with the dough he is kneading. The testimonials given in favour of Mr Stevens numbers some hundreds. Mr Stevens has long been known as a baker of pure household bread, free from all adulteration. The machine is to be seen at work at his bakery, in the Cambridge- road. MADAME TUSBAUD'S EXHIBITION.— Several novelties are in preparation for the visitors during the Cattle Show. Among the chief attractions we understand are portrait models of General Sir Colin Campbell, G. C. B., Nana Sahib, and others. The deco- rative department will undergo renovation, and improvements are being made to give greater space and comfort for the nume- rous visitors who always flock to this excellent exhibition during the festive time of tho year.

Condolorado raced away from C< « m. and made a dash to kill, but got a tremendous fall. Colin, taking the hare, made a long succession of points before Condoloraao joined, when he quickly put in one or two and killed— undecided. — Second slip, near the cover: Condolorado led, and the hare bending from him increased his lead, turned, and madeaspleiiuid effortto kill, but only tripped his hare; Colin, racing her alonj? the coverside, made two or three wrenches, pu* sy escaping. Cro- marty was led by Sumach in a terrific course, in which she showed great pace and working qualities, handling a real Cale- donian hare in masterly style. Baffle beat Early Dawn in a short trial. Eyebright and Ayrshire Lassie not on equal terms, the latter having had a pumper; the former led and turned twice. Ayrshire Lassie warming up made two or three points very cleverly, wheu Eyebright came again, turned, and killed. Far Far Away and Arrow had a very long course to wind up the day's sport. The former, after two or three points had been made, ran wide, rushing at his turns, while the other ran true as an arrow should, keeping her hare in a close, clever style. On Wednesday, a line day, we met again, at Petiinain, and commenced with the St Leger third ties: Bothwell and Ayr- shire Laddie : The latter took a good lead, turned thrico in suc- cession, serving Both well, who turned, and in racing for the next was passed, Laddie serving himself, and killing— a hollow win. The Cooper o' Fife and Barnes: The hare made a circle m favour of the former, who obtained two first turns. Barnes quickly wrenched twice, and killed— undecided, and Barnes was drawn. Bashaw and Condolorado : The latter led two lengths ; serving himself, he attempted to kill, and fell. Before they rejoined, Bashaw made three or four turns, and in the suc- ceeding stretch to the hare Condolorado made a good go- by, but was afterwards cleverly outworked in an average course. Sumach and Baffle : A long and well- contested course, in which the quick and clever points " baffle" accurate description, bu- maeb's severe course on the night previous placecl her at soine disadvantage. Eyebright and Far far Away: The former led, turned, aud wrenched, when they cannoned, Eyebright falling o: i her side ; the other obtained next turn, but a wide one, and was left " far far away" in an average course. WESTBAW CUP.— Wrisette and Auld Lang Syne: The former leading turned to the other, but shot by him and took the next three, when Auld Lang Syne got in, and for a time looked like rubbing off the score, but Grisette came again and made a fine kill. Sourocks and Greased Cartridge: All one way in a long course. Sandy Scott and Gunboat: The former unsighted from the slips, but after joining had no chance with Gunboat, who ran admirably. Pauuiure and Hippogriff: The latter slightly led, serving himself, when Panmure took the hare to himself, and in a succession of quick clever work looked all over a win- ner, but Hippogriff lived the lougest, aud won very creditably. ST LEGEB.— Fourth ties: Ayrshire Laddie led Bashaw three or four lengths, and fetched the hare back to be chopped be- tween tbeia. Cooper o' Fife and Baffle: The former led, and in a short clever course completely baffled his opponent. Bye- bright ran her bje with Early Dawn. WESTBAW CUP.— Second ties: Grisette, after the hare shifted, reached her first, but was outworked and slightly outpaced by Sourocks, who finished a shortish course by a dashing kill down hill. Gunboat aud Hippogriff ran an unsatisfactory undecided, when Gunboat was drawn. CONSOLATION STAKES.— Earlston and Early Dawn: A nice trial after the latter was fully sighted. Thirty- six outpaced Soft Sawder, and very easily put out a goodish greyhound. ST LBGEB.— Fifth ties: Ayrshire Laddie ran his bye with jEolus to a small kit hare, which should not have been slipped at; the latter, in a run of 80 yards, knocked her up, Laddie killing. The Cooper o' Fife and Eyebright: The former made first turn ; they had a struggle for the next, which he got; and Eyebright then wrenched twice and killed— undecided. Second slip: They had a long struggle in favour of the Ceoper, who turned, and in an average trial slightly outpaced Eyebright, who was decidedly the best worker. WESTEAW CUP.— Deciding course— Sourocks and Hippogriff : The hare swerved to the former, who turned and tried to kill, but fell; Hippogriff then wrenched twice and turned ; Sourocks contested and got the next, made a fine kill, and handsomely won the cup. CONSOLATION STAKES.— Deciding course: Tkirty- six raced away with great fire and turned thrice, when Earlston got in and put in a few points very nicely, but in going over the bill was passed by the bitch, who made a superb kill. ST LEGEB.— Deciding course— Cooper o' Fife and Ayrshire Laddie : The latter, aitnough much cut about the feet, raced away with great fire, knocking his hare about in good style, and scarcely admitted of any assistance, the hare making a rabbit- hole. Throughout Wednesday especially the judicious arrangements of Mr Graham in the placing spectators aud drawing were most conspicuous. This day's coursing was in Westown aud Westraw Bottoms, fine level holms of bare pasture, without a ditch, and scarcely a fence, and it was so managed that the entire length of the courses ( most of them very long) could be seen by all present. The hares were in capital condition, and since the first meeting of the club on these grounds, by Sir Windham Anstruther's permission, five years ago, have never been so plentiful. At the close of that year the numbers were reduced, but a stock has now been got up which the club have spared no pains to pre- serve. Mr Boulton, the judge, except in one or two instances the first day— which might have been given undecided— was most felicitous in his decisions, and his riding to his dogs drew universal admiration. It was Raper's first appearance in that locality as slipper, and as he outshone his predecessors in that capacity, I would fain hope to see him there again. The first of the dogs which this meeting brings into promi- nent notice is the winner, a son of the celebrated stallion Sana, of a good size, in colour resembling his brother Rover of an oldt r litter. He combines rare speed with untiring endurance, exhi- biting also the constitutional power of quickly recovering him- self from the severity of work. His courses the first day with Evil Genius and Cadogan were about the most severe of the meeting, and the misfortune which befel him in getting his feet out on the road metal led me to fear he would start sore and stiff on the Wednesday morning. Nothing of the kind, how- ever ; he won the whole of his courses very decisively, and looked not a bit the worse after his tough struggle for the deciding course. Mr Sharpe, as usual, ran some fast and beautiful speci- mens of the " family fawns," aud the running of these and Mr Blanchard's elegant puppies towards the close of the day led many to inquire after Hughie Graham, whose stock by their public performances prove him a valuable stallion. Condolorado, contrary to my expectations, met with a defeat by Bashaw. 1 fancy him a shade faster than when he won the Biggar St Leger, and from the severe falls he had in his last three courses I can- not but think his over- anxious trainer had him " a wee fresh." Thirty- six, a very pretty racing- like bitch, put out in the first class in the Leger, raised herself highly in estimation by her running in the Consolation Stakes, where she literally shot away from Soft Sawder and Earlston, who each had led the runner up. Another plea for simple fare, the bitch having been treated the previous night to a good dose of porridge and milk, not having been then intended to run, CALEDONIA.

The meet on Friday morning was at the Linns, where it was ar- ranged to draw the high ground. The first field, a fine large one, two hares, but no course; second, the same result. At the bottom there was a fine young plantation, which was beaten down tke hill instead of up, the result of which wa3 that we lost four hares out of five, the fifth proving a short no- go to Brewer and Speck in the second ties of the St Leger. Next course the Brewer unsighted, Speck getting well away with his bare, turned and swerved twice, when the Brewer came with a rush and turned, Speck swerving and killing. We moved up to the first field, and drew the small plantation above it with a si- milar result to the former attempt, getting only one out of four hares which came out. Ellington aud Clema: The latter led, a « id took five clever points; Ellington the kill. Taking uow to the moor, Tamer and Firefly had two short no- goes. In the third the former led, but tripped, Firefly working cleverly, and winning with plenty to spare. Fly and Spunkie: The latter unsighted; Fly getting well away with her hare made three points before Spunkie got up, when Fly tripped. Spunkie then taking possession, in a good trial, saved Fly any further trouble, John Anderson my Joe and Lancashire Lad: John was too fast, swerved and killed. Sandy Welsh and Samson : Sandy leading, got a bad fall, letting Samp- son in. Sandy, however, was not to be denied, and was not long in squaring accounts, winning a fine course well. ALL- AGED STAKES.— Second ties— Lady Clara and Cora Linne: The former unsighted, Cora got well with her hare, made a couple of points and fell, Lady Clara winning, with great ease, a nice short course. Bustler and Criffel: The latter took first and second turn : Bustler getting first through a paling turned and swerved, Criffel the next, both taking the cover together. Kil- liecrankie and Sarcasm : The latter unsighted ; the former run- ning up quickly, pus3 tripped and was caught. Next ooarse: Sarcasm led aud took first turn. I lost sight for some time, and on my next glimpse of them Sarcasm was leading round the hill side, and killed. Miss Nightingale and Sister to Surprise: The latter led and took first and second turns ; Miss Nightingale the next, and led out of my sight. Lord Reoch was in slips at least an hour. When puss was found, her assistaut fell at the first turn, and the hare getting down a kind of ravins, led his lordship a single- handed dance for at least two miles. ST LEGEK.— Third ties— Speck and Clema : The latter offering to lead, but puss bending from her, Speck got a lead of three lengths, took firstturn, swerved, and killed. Firefly andSpunkie: The latter changed sides to her disadvantage, but managed on outside ground to lead four lengths, making three beautiful swerves, when they went out of my sight. John Anderson my Jo and Saudy Welsh : The latter favoured for the first turn, got a bad fall. John then went in aud made several very pretty points, but notwithstanding Sandy's fall he was with him, and the moment he got a chance balanced accounts, with a little to spare. ALL- AGED STAKES.— Third ties— Lady Clara ran her bye with Sarawak. It was the longest course of the meeting, and the dog was of little use to her, Mr Steele acknowledging to her owner that his dog was amiss, as well as several of his kennel com- panions which have been running of late. Criffel and Sarcasm : The latter thrown out at slips several lengths, owing to a furrow on the hill side ; she, however, went on and took first turn, but Mr Bennett said she shut up, and was of little use after in a short course on very hilly and stony ground. Since then I have been told that Sarcasm was fearfully cut up in her course with Killie- crankie, and it would have been wiser in her owner to have with- drawn her. As stated in your telegraphic report of last week, the stakes could not be run out, owing to the approach of dark- ness, and both were divided. And thus ended the second day's sport, which excited fully as much interest as the first, a number of gentlemen being in attendance whom I did not observe on the first day. CALEDONIA.

Stronsa beat Fairy Queen Prizeflower beat Justice Sprite bfet Lesbia This the first meeting of the club for the season commenced on Tuesday, and was run off upon Wednesday last. A variation was made in this year's programme by substituting a St Leger for both dog and bitch puppies, for the former separate Derby and Oaks Stakes. The entry, which closed on the 1st June, numbered 91, but owing to the distemper and influenza, pre- valent in many of the principal kennels, the starters were re- duced to 40. Oa Tuesday we met at Pettinain ; the muster not large, but embracing the most influential members of the club; weather seasonable, with occasional showers. Mr Graham's experience was as usual called into requisition for the management of the field ; and for the first class he drew fine bare ground, running off the second ties on the rougher surface of Swaite's Hill. ST LEGEB.— Bothwell and Sweeper had a long course to cover, the former running strong, and winning very decisively, Jar- dine's Mixture and Betrae ran a short no go. in their next trial on plough, the latter made first turn, Mixture leading into the hedge, where they lost. .' Eelus and Cadogan, after a no- go, had an unsatisfactory trial; the former, on a ploughed headridge, Blightly led. The hare bending to Cadogan, he picked her up. Evil Genius and Ayrshire Laddie: The latter showed the pace down a nice slope, after which they contested a run of upwards of two miles, in which the Laddie living longest won very cleverly. Byrecleugh and The Heir of Linne had also a bucket- ing. After the hare had shifted two or three times The Heir turned thrice ; Byrecleugh gave him some little assistance to a stone wall, and then became unsighted, leaving The Heir a long single- handed run and kill. Soft Sawder slightly led The ^"> per o' Fife, and ran a short quick course, in which The •^ fC^ dper killed. Aikendrum and Excelsior: The latter led, but '... lie hare swerving he fell, and gave no assistance in a short course. Bob Acres and Barnes ran a no go, partly out of the judge's sight. In their second slip, a magnificent trial, they ran pretty evenly ; Bob Acres, in roughish ground, was unsighted for an instant, aud lost first turn, the bare then making a bare pasture led them a rattler, each working admirably, and Barnes finishing the course by a flying kill down hill. Earlston, through Snake having fallen, got first to the hare, and was very handy before Snake glided in, when they had an exchange of points in favour of Earlston. Bashaw and Eulogist had a long struggle, the former making first turn; they each contested some quick clever points iu favour of Bashaw, and Eulogist being served by him, turned, wrenched, aad killed. Condolo- rado raced away from Sergeant Shee, and made two first turns j the Sergeant then got in, and in a succession of quick clever work looked all over a winner, but Condolorado shot up and made a brilliant kill. Cromarty and Equity : Neither dis- tinguished himself in a long course ; the former a trifle the faster won with little to spare. Colin and Express ( each backed heavily) ran a long and beautiful trial, iu which both worked to admiration. The latter had slightly the pace in the early part; their working was very even ; but Colin placed the fiat to his credit by a dashing downhill kill. The last 13 courses were run chiefly between fine bare slopes, where the spectators missed nothing. Netherby was led by Sumach in roughish prrass, and cleverly beaten in a short course, Sumach killing. Thirty- six and Baffle : The former turned twice, when Baffle got in and led out of my sight. Early Dawn being favoured by the slip made first turn, and led out of my sight, Ayrshire Lassie was too fast for Emma throughout a long course. Eyebright raced away from Lillydale, knocked her hare about very prettily, aud killed. Echo and Arrow were slipped on plough across the ridges, and ran for a time pretty evealy ; Arrow got a bad fall, but after- wards won cleverly. Far far Away was far too fast for Spunkie in what I saw of the course.— Second Ties— Both well and Be True: Scarcely on equal terms, the former having had a severe course. They were taken to the reserved description of ground, Speck beat Brewer ( 1) Ciema beat Ellington Firefly beat Tamer ( 2) Spunkie beat Fly Speck beat Clema Spunkie beat Firefly II I. IV.

ME EDITOR : Being late in reaching the field on Thursday, I was hailed with the most glowing accounts of the fine trials and stoutness of the hares, forcibly reminding me of the delight struck home when our old friend Nightingale gave vent to his cry of " Rare hare!" gladsome alike to himself and his hearers. The scene of the sport was, as usual, the Dumfriesshire estate of the Marquis of Queensberry, to whose kindness, in allowing the meeting to take place year after year on his grounds, we are deeply indebted. The meet, I understand, was near to Mr Wilkins's farm of Tiuwaldshaws, who, I am informed, has dene his utmost in protecting the hares for this meeting. They were both plentiful and strong in the forenoon, and afforded most beautiful trials over at least a mile and a half of a gentle slope, where puss in almost every instance led the chase over the brow. I was just in time to see the first brace in the All- aged Stakes- Lady Clara and Black- eyed Susan ; the former, favoured, got well away with her hare, and made some beautiful points, when Susan came in and turned, her ladyship killing. Cora Linne and Barrister : The former led, made first turn, swerved, and when following it up, tripped, letting Barrister in, who got well away, swerved his kare thrice, and turned. Cora came again, and did some work under a large hedge, which no one but the judge could see, and was leading when the hare came through, but afterwards was passed by Bar- rister, who led out of sight. Bustler and Tickler: The latter led, and took first turn, Bustler killing ( undecided), Next course: Bustler led out to a road, which was all I saw of it. Criffel and Kiss Me Net: The former took three swerves and a turn, the latter a swerve, and the death. Killiecrankie and Victor : Two short no- goes ; third trial, they were slipped to- wards the road, the former leading ; the ground being a little rough, puss stole up the hedgerow, so that both dogs lost sight for a moment; Killiecrankie leaped off the road, and was first sighted, and the other running up the road to a gateway, caught sight of him, working his hare in good style up a beautiful slope, without, however, getting a point in my sight— undecided ; Mr Bennett was so situated that I do not thiuk| he saw a point in the course. Sarcasm and Idle Girl: The former, rather favoured, ran her hare up ( no- go); second slip, a beautiful struggle for first turn, which Sarcasm got, and followed up by other three and a fine kill. Sister to Surprise led Countess, took first turn and Black Jack beat Whiskey Dove beat Never Mind Dove beat Black Jack ( 1) Mr Mathew's bk b Madcap \ ( late Fly) J" Mr Samuel's f d Stranger Mr Campbell's f b Cruiskeen Mr Dunbar's bk d Big Lunatic ..

The two and won very hollow. Ayrshire Laddie aud Cadogan ran a no- go, i Miss Nightingales : a short no- go on to the road, when Grant's slightly in favour of the former, but Sir Boulton gave him an was drawn. Lord Reoch and Levanet: They were nearly an opportunity of winning in gallant style almost throughout a hour in the slips; the former took a good lead, swerved, and terrific course, partly ou a newly metalled road, by which his feet I made a dashing kill; for some cause or other we were and stoppers were sadly cut. Heir of Linoe led Barnes and : taken nearly a mile away for this course, although repeatedly turned, but Barnes afterwards had the honour ( no slight one) of , told by Mr Wilkins that there were six or eight hares in defeating him in an average course, finishing with a good kill.; the field across the road. He deserves thanks for his good Cooper o'Fife and Earlston: A short unsatisfactory trial, which | hares, as well as for his hospitality, iu which his good lady vied should have been undecided.

The weather being fine, there was a large attendance; hares not very nu merous and rather wild, but in splendid running order, affording some rare trials. The first day's meet was at Brittas, at half- past ten o'clock sharp, commencing with THE PUPPY STAKES.— Billy Barlow drawn ; Whiskey ran a severe bye. Black Jack and Rattler: The black led, and won all through a moderately long course. Never Mind and Glenda- lough : A short course to cover, iu which Never Mind showed most speed. Bother Me So and Dove : The hare favouring the bitch, she led, turued, and ki'led. Magnet and Whirlwind*: After an undecided course, in which the former showed most speed ; he led again, but in a long course the red scored most points. Master Willie and Sultan : The hare favouring Master Willie, he led, and won a short course cleverly; a fresh hare getting up, they had another short spin, which left Master Willie in on fair terms with Magnet. Cookston and Harriet Heatherbelle : The dog running the outer circle, turned twice, and killed. THE GORMAFFSTOWN ALL- AGED STAKES.— Major Domo and Maid of Ardee : The dog, in a short course, easily disposed of the Maid. Master Mat and Justice to Ireland : After an undecided course, o* ing to the judge having been unsighted, Master Mat won a severe course throughout. Knight and Fly Away Gin : The red getting away first from the slips, led for about 30 yards, when the black rushed past, turned twice, and the bare taking down towards the river, the crowd at the flag post, where I was, lost sight of the course ; in a short time they reappeared, the rec. leading and turned, when the black got in, turned, gave a go- bye, and served again; the red led out through fence, when the course ended. To the surprise of almost every person on the ground the course was given to the red. This decision was very much cavilled at, and, so far as I law, with reason. However, I did not see the entire course, and it was the only decision of the judge with which I did not quite agree. Forfeit and Lady Ardmore: Lady A. led, a.* d won a close working course of average length iu a style that would hava made her first favourite for the stakes, but unfortunately leaping in on the road, she picked up her hare, fell, and broke her thigh. Bailiff and Madcap: The black led, but became un- sighted, when the red got in and did some good work, but once the bitch got sighted and joined she never let the dog in, and won a severe course with plenty to spare. Kate and Stranger : After a no- go, darkness coming on, an adjournment was made to next day. THURSDAY.— Met at Raffan Hill, ten o'clock sharp. Owing to soiue mismanagement in the beating ten hares and nearlytwo hours were lost without getting a deciding course. Stranger and Kate: An undecided course, in which Kate being unsighted, Stranger led, turned, the bitch serving herself twice, the dog killed. In the deciding course Stranger led, and won a severe course easily. Grace and Cruiskeeii: Cruiskeen led, turned, and killed. Big Lunatic and Snowball: The maniac showed great speed to hare, and had the best of a short course. Sir William and Una: Sir William getting away first from slips, led, and the bitch becoming unsighted, he turned twiceand killed; the bitch just coming in at the end. Alma aud Spider): Spider showed most speed to hare, and beat Alma cleverly in a short course. PUPPY STAKES.— Second ties— Whiskey and Black Jack: The black outpaced and outworked the red in a long course. Dove had the best of a short unsatisfactory course with Never Mind. Master Willie beat Magnet cleverly in a short course. Cookston had a bye of moderate length with Sultan. GOBMANSTOWN ALL- AGED STAKES.— Second ties— Master Mat beat Major Domo in a short course, which I did not see. Lady Ardmore drawn. Knight had a very interesting bye, which he ran with Flyaway Gin, the dog he put out yesterday. The black led from the slips, and never gave the red a chance, proving him- self to be the best dog ia every respect. Stranger and Madcap: The fawn led, turned, went by the black, and served himself again, then Madcap got in, and after some pretty equal work the black gave a go- by and turned, when Stranger finished with a kill of merit. FRIDAY.— Met at Cregg, but, owing to a dense fog, were un- able to commence business till twelve o'clock. Hares scarce and wild, and part of the ground most unsuitable at least for the de- ciding courses. Cruiskeenand Big Lunatic: The little bitch led, turned, and served horself again, beating the big ' un at all points, in a beautiful course. Spider and Sir William: Sir Wil- liam led, and, in turning, went very wide, but Spider, after serving himself, brought back the hare, when the black got in again, wrenched, and killed. PUPPY STAKES.— Third ties— Dove and Black Jack: Dove led from the slips for about twenty yards, when the black went by her and turned. The red then served herself, and led out on the road, where the course ended in a scramble, given undecided. In the deciding course the bitch won easily, the black giving a a go- by at the end of the course. Master Willie and Cookston : The hare favouring Master Willie, he led, running the inside of a half circle, turned twice, when Cookston got in, and turned on the edge of a deep dyke, into which he fell, and never got in afterwards. ALL- AGED STAKES.— Master Mat easily disposed of Knight in an exceedingly long course, in which he was severely injured. Stranger and Cruiskeen: After a short undecided course, of which some thought the bitch had the best, Stranger led, turned twice, when the bitch got in, and, after an exchange of turns, wrenched her hare three or four times in quick succession ; but the dog would not be denied, turned, gave a go- by, and served himself again, the bitch extinguishing her chance by a kill. Sir William ran a short bye course with. Maid of Ardee. SATURDAY.— Met at Cellar for the deciding courses ; eleven o'clock. AIL- AGED STAKES.— Fourth ties— Master Mat ran a bye— the severest course of the meet— after which he was drawn. Sir William and Stranger : These dogs met on very unequal terms, Stranger having had seven courses, and three undecided ones, Sir William getting only three short spins. The fawn led about a length, but the hare swerving down a sharp hill in favour of the black, he took first turn, and the hare taking into a sunken fence, he led in and out, serving himself three or four times be- fore the fawn emerged from the fence and joined. After some very equal work the fawn did most in the end of a long course, but not sufficient to make up for what helost at the commence- ment.— Yours, & c, CELLAB HILL. THE EENDRED DOWNS MEETING. The annual coursing meeting at Hendred Downs, upon the manor of Mr J. Alliu, came off on Tuesday last, in the pre- sence of a very large concourse of spectators and admirers of the leash. Amongst the company present were Mr J. Morrell, the master of the Old Berkshire Foxhounds, with Mrs Morrell, mounted on a most splendid bay horse; Mr and Mrs J. Allin, Mr Bowles, Mr Barnes, Capt Vernon, Mr Dalzell, Mr Allin, sen, Mr Greenwood, Mr Bettridge, Mr Eyston, MrC. Eyston, & c, & c, Mr W. H. Stone, who acted as judge, and gave universal satisfac- tion, and was presented by Mrs Morrell with a pair of handsome colours. Upwards of thirty courses were run, and a finer day's sport was never witnessed. Mr Allin entertained a large party at dinner at his house the night prior to the meet with un- bounded hospitality, and opened his house by giving a public breakfast to upwards of fifty on the day of the meeting. Too roueh praise cannot be given to this gentleman for the spirited jnanner in which the whole thing was conducted, and we only wish a few such others were to be found in the vicinity pos- sessing the great hospitality and liberality shown to the cours- ing public by the owner of the manor of Hendied Downs,— I'ROIL A C0ABS § T0NDEHT.

MB EDITOR : This second meeting on the lands of Brougham and Whinfell came off successfully on the 10th and 11th. The previously announced fixtures of Brampton, Whitehaven, cum, multis aliis, had no doubt engaged the anticipations of mr, ny who otherwise might have been expected, and so the entries were not quite so numerous as might have been wished. The hares were good, and the weather exceedingly fine on both days. On the first, the course between Titmouse aud Sidonia excited most interest. After a rather severe undecided course, Sidonia led to the hare and made the first points, the bitch then got in, aud won cleverly. On the second day the ball was opened by Flatterer and Moneycatcher. This course excited great interest, the latter being the favourite. A good hare was driven from a turnip field, and afforded a capital trial over some fine pastures. Flatterer led, and proved himself throughout to be too fast for the fawn dog. Solon beat Humbug after an undecided course. The former is an exceedingly fast puppy. Speed the Plough and Lady Lawsou : The hare favoured the latter, who got first turn, the dog then got in, and racing the hare away from the bitch, made some very clever work, and finished with a meritorious kill. Solon and The Clogger of Dalston: The latter led from the slips, owing probably to the two courses that had taken the shine out of Solon. The Clogger refused a fence, which left the course entirely in the hands of the " Athenian." Sebastopol was too clever for Flatterer in a godd average course.— The run- up for the Brougham Stakes— Speed the Plough v Sebastopol: Speed the Plough rather led from the slips, but lost the first turn, from the hare making a. turn to a smout, which let Se- bastopol in; the black dog got to his hare first on the other side of the fence, turned, wrenched, and made an excellent kill, Mr Hudson, as judge, gave general satisfaction.— Yours, & c, — A LOOKER ON. [ EROM ANOTHEB COBBE8PONDBNT.] MB EDIXOE : By the kind permission of Wm. Broughham, Esq, the above stakes were run off, over the well- stocked pre- serves of Lord Brougham. Few if any places are so well adapted for coursing as these grounds; we are, therefore, under great obligations to the noble and learned lord for placing them at our service on these occasions. The coursing world mustered strongly on this occasion, and we observed Wm. Brougham, Esq, H. Brougham, Esq, Capt Spencer, G. A. Thompson, Esq, Moore, Esq, Messrs Hindson, Bell, King, Richardson, & c, & c. The field was also graced by Lady Brougham, Mrs Wm. Brougham, and the Misses Brougham, who seemed to take great interest in the sport. On Tuesday the meet was at Hornby, the weather all that could be wished, and the condition of the ground most ex- cellent. The first brace put in the slips for the Brougham Stakes were Sebastopol and Sleepiug Partner. The former led to the hare, and turned twice; the bitch then got in, wrenched twice, and turned ; the dog went in, wrenched, and killed. Flatterer beat Tittlebat very cleverly. Moneycatcher won the next, receiving noassistance from Logan Wonder. Lady Lawson led Lily of the Valley to a racing hare, and had much the best of a very pretty course. Annie Lawrie led Eskdale Bess to a fast hare, and beat her very cleverly. Sidonia and Titmouse un- decided. Deciding course : Sidonia led from the slips, but the hare bending in favour of the bitch; she made one of those mag- nificent spurts for which she is famed, got possession of the hare, turned, wrenched, and killed. Speed the Plough received no help from Tittlebat in the bye. WHINI'ELX PUPPY STAKES.— Mini6 Rifle led Terrific, and beat him, in a well- contested course. She is a splendid speci- men of the greyhound, fast, and full of fire, but run very un- steady, getting two regular purlers on fine grass land. Clogger of Dalston beat Meg of the Mill very cleverly, showing great pace. Humbug and Beat All: Beat All was all beat, Humbug having it all his own way. Solon led Haynau, and won, in an easy course. HOBNBY HALL STAKES — Queen Victoria repulsed Sortie, and finished the attack herself. Mary Jane was too fast for Lady Huntcliffe, and so was Meg Merrilies for Blucher. Unexpected beat Trouble in a scrambling course, amongst rough heather. Sacond Ties: Sebastopol ran the bye. Flatterer and Money- catcher undecided. Lady Lawson took a strong lead of Titmouse, turned, and killed. Speed the Plough showed great pace, and beat Annie Laurie at all points. Flat- terer and Moneycatcher again undecided. Minte Rifle and Clogger of Dalston: A beautiful slip on a green hill- side, the dog slightly leading, until the hare suddenly turned up the hill in favour of the bitch, who went up ou inside ground, and brought the hare back, the dog then leading to the bottom of the hill, where they exchanged a few points very evenly, after which the dog had much the best of the course, and ran the hare to ground in a rabbit- hole. Mini6 Rifle did not appear to run in the same form in this as she did in the previous course; perhaps the severe falls may account for it. SECOND DAY.— Wednesday morning met at Clifton Cross. The weather again delightful. The first brace of dogs in the slips were Flatterer and Moneycatcher: The former led and turned twice; they then exchanged a few points, the fawn leading out of sight. Humbug and Solon: After two well- contested no- goes, Solon led, turned, and wrenched twice; Humbug came in on inside ground, and killed. Mary Jane beat Queen Victoria very cleverly, as did Unexpected Meg Merrilies, Meg preferring to look on a bit. Sebastopol beat Flatterer in only a middling trial. Speed the Plough had much the best of Lady Lawson in a short and merry course. Clogger of Dalston and Solon: Clogger led Solon to the first fence, which he re- fused, leaving Solon alone in his glory. Mary Jane beat Un- expected in a very unexpected manner. Sebastopol and Speed the Plough : The former got first to the hare, on inside ground ; the black then went in, led through the fence, turned his hare, and brought her back, led up the fence side a considerable dis- tance, wrenched his hare, lea through the fence, and made a splendid kill in the open field, and that is hoiv I account for Speed the Plough beating Sebastopol, he never being once next the hare after the first turn. Thus ended one of the most pleasant meetings that ever took place over these grounds, in faot we never saw a meeting pass off with greater eclat; the jud$ e gave every satisfaction; he rode well to his dogs, gave his decisions in a careful but prompt manner, and, from his experi- ence and undoubted integrity, I have no doubt that ere long he will be much sought after in the capacity of coursing judge.— Yours, & 0, AN UNiSUCCSSSECI COMPBIITOS. Mr Carr's Burglar, by Warrior out of Nimble, beat Mr Boote's Chartist, Dy Ernest Jones out of Housemaid, and won the stakes. „ _ , The AUDLEM SILVEB CUP.

Mr Joinson's Aray, by Tout out of Celeste, beat Mr Bolderstone'a Queen, by Derwentwater out of Swift, and won the stakes. MB EDITOB : Two excellent day3' sport took place last week at Audlem, by the kind permission of T. L. Boote, Esq, over his manor at Coole Pilate, where it is deemed illegal to shoot a hare- ( Would it were the case everywhere!) The weather was beauti- fully fine. The laud consisted of large turf fields, with plenty of game. The first brace to show, in a twenty- acre field, wene Queen and Widow Dester ( late Marie Louise), Her Majesty never appeared so fit, but the Widow had uot only changed her name, but appearance, as she looked very poor, and not capable of sustaining even a short race, as will be seen. She was not the Marie Louise that so cleverly won the Chatsworth Cup. They went very wild from the slip, the black going first through the fence, and brought her hare back. They theu started on eveu terms, but it was all one way, tha Widow scarcely ren- dering any assistance. Blanche aud Bashi Bazouk had three scrambling uudecideds, when it was wisely arranged to draw Bashi, and for the respective owners to divide the white's " earnings." The veteran Myrtle, although only brought to fill the stake, ran full of fire, and easily disposed of Lily. Cir- cular Motion seemed to have the best of the first part of the course with Amy, but in a long finish the latter had the advan- tage. Asylum led Topper to the hare, and took first turn, when they forced pussy on the towing path by the canal, where some very even work was done, the white collar, after the hare broke back into the field, coming away with a strong lead, but the red gained so much ground that they went over the fence nearly to- gether, when the red collar went up to her game, and very cleverly won, the white running very respectably for a puppy against so formidable an opponent. Leading Strings, who was much the fastest dog at the meeting, led Woodbine with a strong lead, but tripped just before making first turn, although the white worked closer, aud just won. Alma ran a bye, Plantagenet haviag been drawn. The Puppy Stakes— First ties : Chartist took first turn, when the black got in, and knocked the hare about amongst the crowd, but the trier thought the latter did not deserve much credit for his work, and took off his hat; in their next course the blue cleverly won. Dr Dodd easily disposed of Des- demona. Minnie's course with Merry Girl I did uot see. Bur- glar, after a " no- go," beat Hannah, the latter not being in form. The next was a very unfortunate course for the owner of the blue, who went first, and cleverly turned his hare, the red took the two next turns, wrenched, and led through the fence, which at that point was impossible for a horse to get over; the trier galloped down the side to get round, whereupon the blue made a go- bye, went several lengths first, and finished with a clever kill, the owner of B. Coat, as also those who stood near, being perfectly satisfied that the judge could not see the latter part of the course, or his decision would have been different. Such are the casualties of coursing. Champion Stakes— Second ties : Blanche, on the inner side, led Queen, and when on even terms, in a short course, won. Amy was too fresh and too young for Myrtle, and soon proved that old age must succumb to youth. Asylum, on her own ground ( a large meadow) sailed away from Woodbine, beautifully commanded ber game, and in a nice trial only allowed the white to get the kill on sufferance. Hector ran away from Alma, and easily beat him at all points. Puppy Stakes— Second ties: Chartist came away with the lead from the Doctor, when the hare favoured the latter, who struck to kill, and fell head over heels in a pit, thus completely throwing his chance away. Burglar, after a " no- go," beat Minnie all the way. Windsor got the bye, and finished the first day. The weather on the second day was again all that could be desired; but hares were not quite so numerous, although we found plenty to finish off with. Amy aud Blanche after a " no- go" were slipped at a hare materially favouring the black, who went first, and made a strong wrench, then^ a scrambling kill between them, one throwing the hare over, and the other killing. This, we thought, would have been undecided; but the white gained the judge's fiat- Asylum, after a " no- go," very easily disposed of Hector. Puppy Stakes— Third Ties: Chartist a bye. Burglar beat Windsor without receiving the least assist- ance ; a third dog got loose, but did not at all interfere in the race. Champagne Stakes— Deciding course: In a long slip Asylum went away with the lead to a hare, made one wrench, and dashed her down, but upoa examination it was found that pussy had a broken thigh; it was very evident, however, that the best greyhound won; in fact, Asylum never gave anything a • chance.— Puppy Stakes— Deciding course : Chartistled; Burglar, and in a beautiful trial deservedly won the Puppy Stakes. The black ran a little wide in his turns. We then ran two four- dog stakes, which need no comment. Random in a straight run was coming with a lead of about three lengths, when the hare popped to the right to avoid the pit, which threw the briadle quite as many lengths first, and the black, in struggling round the pit, fell, which placed him lwrs de combat. The Audlem Silver Cup, to be run for by the winning dogs of each stake, was won by Mr Brundrit's Asylum, Mr Boote having drawn Chartist. Each day the proceedings terminated with an excellent dinner at the Crown, presided over by T. L. Boote, Esq, the chairman and hon sec, who was warmly complimented for so strictly pre- serving the hares on his manor, and for the great trouble he had taken 111 ensuring so much sport. The judge gave great satis- faction, and Ashley's slipping was also to be commended.— Yours, & c, ECHO. BRIDEKIRK MEETING— Nov 17 & 18. Patron : Major G. Thompson.

The above meeting took place on Tuesday last, by the kind permission of Major Green Thompson, over those fine old pas- tures well known by the nameef Tasnatirs, as fine a piece of ground as could be found. The first dogs called to the slips were Bala- clava and Sandy: Sandy had the best at first, but lamed himself at a fence, and bad to surrender to the former. Bluecap and Warlike: After an undecided course Warlike was drawn. Tit- mouse and Merry Carlisle: The former outran her opponent throughout. Durham and Busybody: The latter was " busy" enough. Pretty Boy and Fancy: After two no- goes, the course resulted in favour of Fancy. Skewball and Spring: This was a most excellent course ; Spring, being too elastic for Skew, did not allow him to have the ball at his feet. Warlock and Fanny Pepper: The latter too highly seasoned for Warlock. John Bull beat Kitty Cobb very easily. Fancy and Countryman: A short race, in which the latter had the majority of points. Sir Colin beat Black Bess. Emma and Duchess: The former beat the latter, neither being fond of work. Tempest and Prince being two Waterloo dogs of this season much anxiety prevailed after they were slipped, but Tempest showed himself much the better animal. Jericho and Tam O'Shanter: Both first- class greyhounds. Xam O'Shanter showed not only speed over his opponent, but out- worked him in every point. Helen Douglass and Seagull met a rare hare, which led them a tremendous dance, each putting iH some good work, leaving the latter a majority of points, but nothing to spare. Judge and Jim Crow: After a no- go, and with a bad hare, ended in favour of Jim. Leader beat Doubt in a short race.— Second ties: Balaclava and Blue Cap: After two no- goes, Balaclava obtaining from the slips five lengths, making the first turn, when BlueCap passed him and killed. Titmouse and Durham: The former, being favoured in the slip, when she got to the hare played merrily with her game, and did not allow sufficient time for Durham te score off. Fancy and Spring: After two no- goes, ended in favour of Spring. Fanny Pepper and John Bull: This was a short course in favour of Fanny. Sir Colin and Countryman: The general was very unfortunate in coming in contact with his opponent, which caused him to fall, after which he joined issue in the race and tumbled again, which rendered him useless. Tempest beat Emma with great ease. Tarn O'Shanter, after a good trial, beat Jim Crow. Seagull and Leader: After two no- goes, Leader being determined to keep up his name, did uot only lead, but made some splendid work, and gained victory over the flier.— Third ties: Blue Cap and Tit- mouse: This was a long course, but Titmouse at the first took the lead, and made points innumerable, not allowing Blue Cap a chance. Fanny Pepper beat Spring in a short race cleverly. Tempest beat Countryman, after a no- go, Countryman counting the first three points, when Tempest took possession, and ended all disputes. Leader and Tam O'Shanter bad a very severe course, which the judge was unable to see, and it ended in a » o- go; but afterwards Tam beat Leader very easily.— Fourth ties: Titmouse and Fanny Pepper : This was the best course of the meeting, but Fanny, being a splendid animal, determined sot to lose a chance, took the advantage of her opponent from her pre- vious hard course, and won cleverly. Tempest and Tam O'Shanter: Tempest beat Tam O'Shanter with great ease, the latter showing great symptoms of distress from the course he had with Leader. Fifth ties, and last: Tempest in a good trial beat Fanny Pepper, the former getting through it very easily, whilst the other was hard run ; but, probably, a better grey- hound cannot be found; she is but a puppy. A match, for £ 5 a side, between Mr Dalzell's Doubt and Mr Heslop's Merry Carlisle, after an undecided course, terminated in favour of Doubt. Mr A. Dalzell discharged his duties as judge with great satis- faction, and the meeting passed off most successfully. THE LATE RIDGWAY MEETING. MB EDITOB : Your correspondent " North Countryman," in his remarks upon this meeting, censures me for giving so mauy courses undecided on the first day; but, in particularising their numbers he, inadvertently no doubt, not only counts those that were so but others that were " no courses,' r as often as the dogswhea slipped became either one or both unsighted, and Mr Jones ns Hero by Mr W. Hughes's Old Hero out of his Trinket beat Mr Hughes's Heart of Oak, and won the stakes. THE PEDIGREE OP DALTON. MB EDITOB : It is not my intention to take up the space in your valuable paper by answering the remarks of " A Grey- hound Breeder" in your last publication, the purpose of my letter is sufficiently answered by them ; however, ou reference, I do think that he will undoubtedly find that all publishers of books are not any more than myself Jobites. I am happy to say that by the kindness of the owner of Dalton ( late Quince), 1 enabled to furnish the pedigree of Truelove, the dam or Dalton, and I heartily wish that all coursers would imitate his example by supplying that which is so necessary for a com- piler. The pedigree, then, is as follows :— f f Etteriek Bank fBowlliu> see pedigree of" Bon- Cairncorse J ( Mr Paterson) i me Scotland" { Lord J. Scott), J ( Mr C. Simson) \ r ,, '.

THE PEDISBEE OF DALT ON.— Mr William Scott of Ainderby informs us that Picture, the sire of Dalton ( late Quince), is by his dog Van out of Queen of May, Van by MrJBulmer's Tip out of Graham's Binglet. ASHDOWN PABK.— We are glad to perceive that the unfavour- able contrast which we last week drow between the southern and northern meetings, has already had the desired effect of stirriHg up the managers of one or two of the principal coursing meetings in the South, and it is to be hoped their example wifl be followed at other places, and the prestige of the sport in the lower country" restored. The programme of the Ashdowu Champion Meeting, to be held on the 1st of February and fol- lowing days, shows that in that quarter at least the " powers that be" are determined that the re- union shall hereafter be iplaced cn that high standing which the distinguished and liberal patronage of the Earl of Craveu so richly deserves, and we have no apprehension but that such an example under such fostering influence will have the desired effect elsewhere. Amongst the stakes advertised are two thirty- two's, one for puppies of 1857, and the other for all- ages, and to the latter a Cup value £ 50 will be added. The latter prize ought to secure an entry of " cracks" from all coursing districts, and we hope the " lovers of theleash" in Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Scotland will avail themselves of the occasion to visit this delightful locality with their dogs. We can promise them a treat of no ordinary character. The meeting was originally fixed for the 25th of January, but in order to allow more time after the Altcar Club Meeting, on the 20th and 21st of that month, it has been deemed advisable to postpone the Ash- down until the following week, the 1st of February.— See ad- vertisement. THE SPIDDAL MEETING.— Mr Editor: In your report of the late Spiddal Meeting, your correspondent " Cellar Hill" observes with reference to the course between Lady Ardmore and Forfeit, that the former wou her course " easily." Now, the very re- verse was the opinion of the whole field. I heard Lord Lurgan say that from the position of the dogs in the slips the hare would serve Lady Ardmore, and she did throughout the whole course. Had the hare lived a little longer, or the position of the dogs been different, I believe Forfeit would have beaten Lady Ard- more— at all events, but for the unfortunate accident which happened to the latter ( and which none regrets more than I do), I was determined to give Lord Lurgan ( who is every inch a genuine sportsman) another and a better opportunity of testing the relative merits of Forfeit and Lady Ardmore.— Yours, & c THE OWNEE OE FORFEIT. The Speltnorne Club will course on the 18th and 19th Dec, instead of the 15th and 16 th, so as not to interfere with the Altcar and Cardingtoa Meetings. There will be a day's coursing in the Home Park, Hampton Court, ou Tuesday next. The entries take place on the evening previous, at the Greyhound Hotel. At the late Sudbury Meeting, Mr J. S. Lee's Mind Your Eye was drawn, after two undecided courses; not beaten by Burglar. RIDGWAY CLUB.— Mr Dalzell has been elected judge at the December meeting of this club. Mr J. Ingleby, the owner, informs us that the name of the winner of the North Lancashire Produce Stakes at the late Ridgway Meeting is called Norber ( the name ef a very high rock in Yorkshire), not Morber, as returned in the official list. It will be seen by the advertisement iu our front page that Mr Blick, of Rugby, has purchased the celebrated stallion grey- hound Wigan, and he will beat the service of the coursing public during the present season, at Dunchurcb, near Rugby. Bounce, the sire of Bumptious and the " crack" Maggie Duggan, who so greatly distinguished themselves at the late Aslidown Park Meeting, will stand at the same place. Mr Watson's Rosetta pupped on the 18th inst nine pups by Mr Murray's Conqueror The following are the colours:— One brindled aud white bitch, one blue and white bitch ( both dead), three brindled and white dogs, one fawn and white dog, two brindled and white bitches, and one brindled bitch. BLACK CLOUD.— The following bitches have been put to this dog since the 1st inst:— Lord Stradbroke's Miranda, Mr Bran- win's Lively, Mr Randell's Riot, Capt Bayly's Bird 011 the Wing, Mr Brocklebank' 8 Honour Bright, and Mr West's Wildflower.

READING STBEPLE CHASES.— This favoured racing locality ia to be the arena of a steeple chase on the 22d December. Mr H. Hibburd is Clerk of the Course, and a good day's sport is likely to be shown if the weather permits. The course is entirely grass, one mile from the town. MB COBDEN.— There is no probability © f Mr Cobden's return te Parliament at present. He peremptorily refuses to be put in nomination. A party of gentlemen, who were anxious to start him as a candidate for Reading, have been informed that cir- cumstances of a family nature preclude him from seeking a seat iu the Commons, and would prevent his acceptance of a seat, even if elected without the necessary contest. DBATH OF THE REV DB BLISS.— On Wednesday, at an early hour, at the lodgings in St Mary's Hall, died, after a severe ill- ness of six days' duration, Philip Bliss, D. C. L., principal. Dr. Bliss had been, with one brief exception, resident in Oxford from the date of his admission at St John's College ( of which he was fellow), in 1806. He was for a short time sub- librarian in the Bodleian Library. In 1824 he was elected registrar of the Uni- versity. This office he held till the spring of 1853, when the failure of his health indueed him to resign it. In 1826 he re- ceived the appointment of keeper of the archives, which he con- tinued to hold till the day of his death, the assistance of a deputy- keeper having been granted to him by the University very recently, in consideration of his long services and increasing infirmities. ^^^. jtcii - c 4 BELL'S LIFE IK LONDON, NOVEMBER 29, 1857.

YACHTING INTELLIGENCE. Co WES.— The R. T. Y. C. cutter Marina, W, J. Poster, Esq., having been hauled up at Messrs Ratsey and Sou's yard, has received a slight addition to her length, having had about3? feet more rake given to her stern- post, terminating with au elliptic Stern, which has considerably added to her beauty. The altera- tion, in our opinion, has rendered her the handsomest 62 ton cutter afloat. The schooner Camilla, from Fishhouse, arrived in our harbour a few days ago, and is hauled up at East Cowes, at the branch establishment of Messrs John and Robert White- She is to have an entirely new bow, for which purpose she is to be lengthened 8| feet. This yacht, which was constructed by Mr Joseph White some years ago, opens well, and great credit is therefore due to her builder for both the work and the mate- rials. She is to be ready by the 1st January next. The Snake, cutter, 20 tons, belonging to Capt George C. H. P. Brigstocke, of the R. V. Y. C., is hauled up at Spencer's yard, and is under- going alterations. In other respects there is very little move- ment among the yachts in the various yards, nor do we hear of any intention of building new yachts here. The shipwrights, however, have cause to rejoice that there has been considerable building going on » t the Medina Docks, in the shape of live Turkish steamers— tho Golden Horn, Sweet Waters, Bosphorus, Danube, and the Constantinople; also a splendid Iudiaruan, to be named the Empress, of about 800 tons. Th- e Medina, a similar ship, built in the same yard, was launched some little time back, and, on dit, that the keel will shortly bs laid thera for a vessel of 2,000 tons, which will cause the winter to pass over happily to nearly 400 workmen. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. - The usual monthly meeting < tf the Prince of Wales Yacht Club took place on Friday week, at the club house, the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen- street, Lincoln's Inn- Holds; Mr 11. Hewett, the Commodore^ in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting havinfr been read and confirmed, and some new members elected, it was announced that the committee had thought January 20th a most fitting day on which to hold their annual ball, at the Freemasons', which fixture having been unanimously concurred in, the following stewards were chosen, with power to add to their numbers :— The Commodore, Vice- Commodore, Treasurer, Secretary, and Messrs Herring, Fenner, . Webster, A. Turner, and W. Chubb. There was no other busi- ness done, but final arrangements were made for, and a conver- sation took place concerning The annual dinner, which took place at the club house, on Tuesday, and shortly before seven o'clock the large club- room rapidly filled, with seventy gentlemen, amongst whom were Mr R. Hewett ( the Commodore), Mr Knibbs ( the Vice- Commo- dore), the treasurer, secretary, auditors, Er Bain, Dr Guest, Messrs Andrew, Bernc § stle, Legg, Logie, Webber, Saarle, Herring, and other yachtsmen and non- yachtsmen. The dinner" was excellent, the tables teeming with every good thing in season. After the cloth was removed and grace sung, the Commodore, who presided, faced at each table by the Vice- Commodore and Mr Alfred Turner, supported by Messrs Percival, Turner, and Sadlier, gave " the Queen, the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," which was drunk with every loyal • demonstration.— The Commodore next gave " the Navy and Army," paying a compliment to what the former had done and What the latter were doing, the name of General Havelock being particularly mentioned, and loudly cheered.— Mr Logie gave " Prosperity to the Prince of Wales Yacht Club," in the course of which he alluded to the establishment of the club at the Folly Housez and dwelt at great length upon its rapid and great advancement, its good prizes, good compe- tition, & c, and hoped to see the club ere long the second of the metropolis [ the gentleman was several times interrupted by loud cheers, and cries of Hear, hear, and when he sat down the toast was drunk most enthusiastically].— Mr Burney pro- posed the health of the Commodore in a eulogistic speech, dwelling upon his utility and activity, his yachtsmanlike and gentlemanly qualities j and the toast was drunk amid great cheering.— The Commodore replied in his usual manner, thank- ing them cordially for their Kindness.— Mr J. W. S. Herring, iff a very excellent discourse, gave " The health of the Vice- Com- modore'," aud said that that gentleman a few years back had built the Idas, and finding that sailing among small craft was not encouraged in any club, had, with the assistance of Dr Bain, launched the Prince of Wales Yacht Club, since which the number of 8- tonners had become very great-.— Mr Knibbs, in his usual quiet manner, having replied, Mr Legg gave a most deserved eulogium to the merits of the treasurer, Mr P. Turner, . who, Mr Legg said, apart from his being a City man, aad in every way qualified to fill the office, had justly endeared himself . to them " by his most gentlemanly qualities.— Mr Turner, who was slightly indisposed, said that he really was so ill in the morning that he despaired of being present that evening; but he was most happy to say that he had nearly recovered, aud was able to be amongst them. Having thanked them for the good- will shown towards him, Mr W. Chubb recommended Mr R. Sadleir, the hou sec, to their regards, and the above gentle- man's health having been drunk, he replied in a very neat manner, saying it was highly gratifying for him to find that the little services he had rendered the club for so short a time should meet with such approbation, and hoping that he should ever deserve the same at their hands.— Other toasts followed, and were intermingled with songs, duets, & c, performed by pro- fessionals, but in the worst manner conceivable, and the party did uot break up till a late hour. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The annual dinner of this club, which it is expected will be a most briliant affair, will take place on Thursday next, the 26th, inst, at Almack's, for which the following are the stewards ap- pointed:— J. R. Kirby, Esq, the Vice- Commodore; A. Arce- deckne, Esq, the Rear- Commodore; Captains Robertson and Heseltine, and Messrs Alexander Crosley, George C. Eagles, Jas. Glegg Geach, E. S. Bulmer, Hoffman, S. J?. Oriel, Geo. Osgood, William Roe, George Ruhl, Alfred Skeen, and Richard Tress. The day for the annual ball at Almack's has not yet been fixed, but it is left to the following stewards, who have consented to act, to fix upon a day : the Vice- Commodore, the Rear- Commo- dore, Geo. C. Eagles, Esq; Captains Robertson and Burgess, and Messrs George Osgood, G. R. Mayuard, Richard Tress, Alexan- der Crosley, William Roe, J. Wilkinson, R. J. Wood, O. D. Osborne, J. W. Stanbridge, T. W. Buliern F. H. Geach, S. F. Oriel, J. Conworth, and ( J. F. Farmer. The above stewards • were appointed at the last monthly meeting, which took place on Monday, at the Caledonian, where a large number of new members were added to th ® list, and the intelligence of the state of the funds was received with great pleasure by all; Mr Eagles, the treasurer, stating that the club were now pos- sessed of £ 400 in the Three per Cent. Consols, he having just invested £ 100. The Commodore, Vice- Commodore, and secre- tary of the New York Yacht Club were unanimously elected honorary members of the Royal London Yacht Club'by accla- mation ; aud it was resolved that the election should be put upon vellum and forwarded to New York. The above resolution was come to on account of words which dropped from the Rear- Commodore of the R. L. Y. C., Archibald Arcedeckne, Esq, who occupied the chair at the meeting, and who stated that he had but lately returned from the sister, although distant country, and that the members of the New York Yacht Club had given a dinner, in his honour, and otherwise treated him in such an ex- tremely handsome way, that he felt bound to ask the R. L. Y. C. to confer this honour upon the officers of the N. Y. Y. C. The honour done to him had been principally in compliment to his being the Rear- Commodore of the R. L. Y. C.; but he felt con- fident that any gentleman belonging to that club who crossed the Atlantic would receive the same hospitable treatment. Mr Eagles having seconded the proposition of Mr Areedeckne, it was carried ia the enthusiastic manner above described. OXFORD UNIVERSITY^ OAT^ LUB. SCRATCH FOURS,— The annual four- oared races, open to all members of the University being members of the Uni- versity Boat Club, came off on Wednesday and Thursday, November the 11th and 12th. From the unusual number " of entries ( sufficient for 17 crews), the greatest interest was ex- cited, aud some thousands of spectators were present to witness the various heats. The boats started three abreast, with the exception of the sixth heat, when only two crews were left to compete. The final heat was won by the fallowing crew 1, Spurrier; 2, Wace; 3, Turner; 4, Arkell; Wright ( oox). CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. FOUROARED RACES. FRIDAY, Nov 13.— The three boats started in the following order :— Magdalene | Trinity Hall | Lady Margaret At First Post corner Magdalene began to draw rapidly away from Trinity Hall, increasing their lead every stroke, and coming in about three distances ahead. Trinity Hall kept about their distance till the Plough Reach, when Lady Margaret began to gain steadily upon them, and at the Willows a very fine " spurt brought the Johnians so Hear to them that a bump seemed inevitable ; but Trinity Hall continued to row on with deter- mined pluck, and passed the post about half a length ahead, amidst deafening cheering. SATURDAY, Nov 14.— In consequence of theS Lady Margaret not making their bump yesterday, and the close proximity of tho Cokjuhoun Sculls, by the unanimous wish of all the time race was rowed between the three crews. Trinity Hall won the t03s, and took the last place, Magdalene leaving theiJohniaus the middle station. A magnificent start was effected; for a few strokes the crews maintained their relative positions, but it soon became evident who were to l> e masters of the day. Magdalene who were rowing iu beautiful time, soon began to draw rapidly ahead, at Grassy they were about four lengths out of their dis- tance, at Ditton still further, and came in the easiest of winners by 18 seconds. The rowing of Mr Hall, the Magdalene stroke, and the steering of Mr Wharton, were loudly applauded. Mr Snow and Mr Pearson, as usual, were conspicuous for their tre- mendous pluck, and beat the Triuity Hall crew by about seven seconds for second place. The following are the names and weights of the winners :— MAGDALENE COLLEGE CEEW. st lb | st lb 1. S, Fellows 10 9 4. T. Hall io 9 2. J. C. Jenkins 11 2 R. Wharton ( cox) 9 0 3. R. L. Lloyd 11 9 J WRECKS ON THE GOODWIN AND LONG SANDS. Early on Monday morning an express arrived at Ramsgate from Broadstairs, stating that a vessel had sunk upon the south lace of the Goodwin sand, with thfc crew clinging to the rigging, and a signal of distress flying. The life- boat and steamer of the Rimsgate Harbour Trustees were instantly despatched with the Broadstairs men, whose craft were aground in the harbour, it being at the time low water. In about an hour after the life- boat had left, a lugger arrived in Ramsgate harbour with eight persons, being the whole of the crew of the sunken vessel, which proved to ba the Juliana, of Bilboa, from Christiansand to Bilboa, with a cargo of salt fish. We regret to add that the day before a Dutch vessel was lost on the Long Sand, when all hands perished. Another telegraph arrived on Monday at Ramsgate, announcing the total loss of a Danish vessel on the Doug Sand. Her crew were fortunately saved. Has not the time arrived when something effectual should be done for saving life from the numerous shipwrecks on the Goodwin and Long Sands, where hundreds of sailors every year meet with a watery grave ? The Royal National Life- Boat Institution had often had impressed on it, that if one of her Majesty's steamers of suffi- cient dimensions, with her fires kept banked up during bad weather, and having attached to her one or two life- boats, were stationed in the Downs, she might often be made eminently useful iu saving lives from ships wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. Upon indication of bad weather or upon a signal of dis- tress from either of the " light vessels," the steamer might Quickly get her steam up. Possessing a power which no other means could supply, she would soon reach the vicinity « tf daager, and be enabled to take up the best position for either putting off her life- boats or using Manby's apparatus or any otter appliances for saving life. With the knowledge that one of her Majesty's vessels was near, ships would not be readily abandoned, but fresh vigour would be given to both crew and passengers from the confidence they would feel that the means of safety » ere at hand, and that every exertion would be used to S- eseue them from their perilous position. Such a vessel would likewise be . a valuable auxiliary to the life- boats stationed at Broadstairs, Razusgate, and Walrner, and to the luggers on that line of coast, whici are always ready and willing to proceed to the scene. of disaster" in the most tempestuous weather, and fre- quently rescue lives at the imminent risk of their own crews. - - .,, nluc .

SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN CANNON AND RALPH. In accordance with notice contained in our last impression, the race between the above men came off on Tuesday, for £ 30 a side, and the antagonism of East and West, or below bridge versus above bridge, had rendered it more than usually interest- ing. There was a singular condition in the articles, to the effect that they should rcw in specified boats ( Cannou in the one in which Wade lately rowed, aud Ralph in the ene used by Finnis in their late match), and are the era! t built by the Messrs Searle. Although constructed in planks, they are to all intents out- riggers, having precisely the same width and leverage. THOMAS CANNON of Watoping has done a great many things, aud began his career some five or six years ago, by rowing au exceedingly fine race against James Corpe of Rofiherhithe, whom he. defeated; he next won the boat given at the Wapping Regatta. He then rowed George Watkius of Greenwich a tight race for the greater part of the distance, Cannon proving the winner. Shortly afterwards, Watkins not being satisfied with his defeat, Cannon again rowed him, and this time came in an easy winner, He and Harry White next rowed in the pair- oared race, in old fashioned boats, at the Royal Thames National Regatta, 1855, and won the match against very good opponents. Cannon's next " set- to" was with Harry White of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, aud this time'! the Wapping hero was obliged to yield to his first de- feat. He then tackled Thomas Pocock, and proved too good for him, Pocoek being easily defeated ; and this year, after rowing a good race for a mile with George Rice of Litaehouse, the latter was left nearly halfamile astern. Cannon trained forthe present match at Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes, under his brother John, and was taken up by J- hu Phelps, William Blake offi- ciating as his umpire. ALFRED RALPH of Wandsworth is two or three years younger than his opponent, and, unlike him, has scarcely acquired any laurels. We first hear of him in 1852, when he rowed third to Henry Kelly, for Evan Morris's Coat and Badge. The next year he won the Leanaer Coat and Badge, against good opponents. In 1854 he contended in the Royal Thames National Regatta, but without any success, and was defeated by Ray of Wapping about this time. In 1856, ia the outrigged scullers race, he rowed second to Henry Kelly, defeating Tom Cole. This year he rowed at Antwerp in the successful Wandsworth crew, and in the Royal Thames National Regatta was engaged in the four- oar, pair- oar, and scullers race. In the first two he and his partners were overmatched, and iu the scullers race, as will be remembered, he rowed an exceedingly fine and desperate race against Chambers, and lost through accident; and rowing Chambers again on September 21st he was easily defeated. He trained at Salter's, the Feathers, Wandsworth, and was taken up by Kelly, Thomas Day officiating as his umpire. It will be observed that Ralph came out well at first, aud appeared as though he would one day rank among our great scullers, but his expected advancement may be designated a retrograde pro- gression, as, although possessing a pretty style, and speed with it, he lacks endurance, and may be considered an excellent mile- and- a- half man, but nothing more ; while, on the other hand, Cannon, in every race, although he has been repeatedly asteru, rows his antagonist down, owing to his superior strength and lasting powers. The weather, on Tuesday, was fine and bright, but very cold, despite of which a large number of East Enders came to the scene of oontest on board the Citizen N, which had been engaged to accompany the race, and by other means. The men made their appearance soon after two o'clock, Cannou in buff, and Ralph iu a guernsey, and they were cheered loudly by the as- sembled spectators. Cannon is much shorter than his oppo- nent, but stouter and with great preponderance of muscle. The match was started much later than it should have been, as the men only just carried the tide up with them, and a good deal of the slack ; this was probably owing to the fact that for a length of time no respectable disinterested person could be found com- petent to fill the office of referee, but Mr Thomas Piuer having at length been chosen, and Blake having won the toss for Can- non, the men went to their stations, and got in readiness for THE START, Cannon taking the Middlesex arch of the New Bridge, at Putney, with Ralph as close to him as he could be with safety. They made one of the finest starts ever seen, at 2: 45: 15, and, " for a few moments, the boats were shoot aud shoot, the pace being exceedingly good. Between the Scar and Garter and Messrs Searie's Boat- yard, the lead was taken by Ralph, but to Finch's he did not head his opponent by above three yards: then Can- non put on a spurt, and, for a moment, seemed to jeopardise the position of his adversary, but with a corresponding spurt, Ralph made extra headway, and, with Cannon sticking to him tightly, they reached the Gravel Machine, at which point Ralph suc- ceeded in drawing himself clear, aud there was about a yard and a half between the boats, which, iu the next three hundred yards, Ralph had increased to about seven or eight yards. Now came the " tug of war." Cannon was working away very quickly, but his short digging stroke, probably acquired by constant prac- tice in the nobbly water below- midge, toofc off much of the speed, while his opponent was rowing so exceedingly well, and with such a long measured stroke that it was thought by many- he was rowing within himself, and the best judges were con- siderably surprised to see what followed. At Craven Cottage Cannon began gradually to come up with his opponent, and with the nose of his boat overlapping Ralph's they rowed 200 yards, but in the next 50 they were strictly level, and Cannon working his opponent at a tearing pace by degrees wore out what en- during power he had, till he slipped into the leading position on making the shoot opposite the Urabtree, aud took his opponent's water. For the next 200 yards Ralph held his antagonist, but at Hammersmith Bridge Cannon had acquired a considerable lead, and passed under the bridge four or five lengths in advance Ralph made no more progress from this, although he was rowing exceedingly well— much better, we should think, than when he last rowed Chambers, and Cannon consequently had it all his own way. His steerage was at times bad, but that was probably owing to his ignorance of the course. For the information of our sporting readers we subjoin the time occupied throughout by Cannon :— H, S. From Putney Aqueduct Bridge to the Crabtree 7 SO Ditto Hammersmith Bridge. 11 15 Ditto Chiswick Ait, Upper End 15 45 Ditto Barnes Railway Bridge 23 40 Ditto Ship at Mortlake 28 15 Time occupied by Ralph to ditto 28 40 Upon a regular tide the above time would l" ave been very long, but it must be borne in mind that at last the men rowed upon almost still water, as we have before stated. The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office on Thursday next, at noon, and on the evening of the same day they will be handed over in due form at Mr Forman's, Albion Tavern, Lower East Smithfield, when we hope that Alfred Ralph will be substantially remembered ; and as this is his last match in Eng- land ( he will shortly proceed to Australia with Tom Day), we trust that au exception will be made, and that he may be paid for his colours, which, though unsuccesful, he has not disgraced. We are glad to hear that Cannon has generously presented him wit h his share of the steamer. To- morrow ( Monday) evening there will be a ball at the Feathers Tavern, Wandsworth, when Ralph and Salter hope their friends will rally round them to say farewell, previous to their leaving Old England. MAYNARD AND LOWE.— As not unfrequently happens while there is little or no amusement afforded in witnessing contests for the championship, & e, these little affairs for £ 5 or £ 10 a side are the finest races out, and the above was a proof of this. The competitors are watermen's apprentices, hailing from Nine Elms, aisd although for £ 10 a side only, there was a great deal of interest created among the friends of the parties. They weiit into training, Maynard at Salter's and Lowe at Wilcox's, and were taken great care of. Monday was the day appointed for the race to come off from Putney New Bridge to the Ship at Mortlake; they had no steamer, but were accompanied by cutters, George Driver being in the head of Maynard's and Joe Leach in that of Lowe's, theoffice of pilot and umpire to their men being vested in each, and Mr Williams of Isleworth was taken up as referee. Maynard having won the toss took the Middlesex side, and they made ready for the go off.— The ac- count of the race which we subjoin is taken from the referee.— Maynard, gradually at first, but afterwards rapidly, took the lead, and was clear at Searie's, aud increasing his advantage, was soon a length and a half clear. Lowe, astern, was rowing very excellently, and both men were heartily cheered as they con- tinued their plucky contest. Maynard was unable to increase his lead, but in this approximation they kept at a clipping pace till Craven was passed and the Crabtree neared; then Lowe got to work at a better rate, and gradually came level, in which position, after remaining for a few moments, he drew ahead, and the places were exactly changed, Lowe now heading liis oppo- nent by about one and a half boat's length through Hammer- smith Bridge. Maynard, however, kept him to his work so tightly that he could not get further away, and they contlnned and finished one of the best races ever seen in this way, praise being alike due to both victor and vanquished. We have been consulted by both parties with respect to an alleged foul during this race, aud have heard accounts from all quarters; the referee also called upon us to have our opiuion as to the decision he had given, and we have no hesitation in pronouncing it j ust and fair. We understand that Mr Janes, the stakeholder, still feels some reluctance to give up the stakes, we presume through fear of legal consequences, having been served with a notice uot to part; we think, however, he should not hesitate, on receiving a guarantee. ZEFHYRINE YACHT ( TWENTY TONS).— A correspondent in- forms us that this very smart little cutter, built by Wallis, of Blackwall, and recently disposed of by private contract, on ac- count of Mr Chillingworth, her late owner, by Mr Ceely, the yacht agent, to Thomas Quinn, Esq, of Innishanaon, Cork, has arrived safely at her destination, after a remarkably quick voyage. She left Blackwall November 5, at four p. m., drifted to Northfleet Hope, and brought up for a tide.

POST OFIICE ORDERS for Deposits, IH which the EDITOK OE BBLL'- LIFB IJT LONDON is made stakeholder, snust be made payable to " WILLIAM CLKMBXT," at the Post Office, Strand, and addressed ta this office. Country notes cannot be taken; they will in ail in- stances be sent back TWO MILES RACE BETWEEN PUDNEY AND TRAINEE, FOR ONE HUNDRED POUNDS. This match, which has for a length of time past totally! en- grossed the attention and excited the speculation of the patrons and supporters of pedestriauism, came off on Monday last, at Garratt- lane, Wandsworth, iu presence of a vast concourse of the lovers of that manly pastime. The competitors were, both, men who have acquired much celebrity in their respective localities, Pudneyin London, Trainer in and about Liverpool and Manchester. Pudtiey has been for some time the holder of the Champion's Belt- as a 10 miles runner, and it was supposed that he might risk his laurels were he to run for a shorter dis- tance, his paramount qualities being those of stamina and en- durance. He, nevertheless, boldly entered the lists on Monday last with the northern hero, and, as the sequel proved, had no cause to regret his so doing. The weather, considering that it was the middle © f November was remarkably fine, the course in capital order, and everything conducted in the fairest and most impartial mariner. The gentlemen from the north ( much to our surprise) backed Trainer at 3 to 2, and ultimately were effering 2 to 1 on fcheir pet, which made us suspect there was a " screw lose" somewhere, but on personally visiting Pudney, and questioning him as lo his state of health and con- dition, we felt assured this was all " bounce." A referee having been appointed from our office, aud all the preliminaries arranged at a few minutes after the appointed time ( three o'clock), the men toed the scratch, arid after about ten minutes' dodg- ing for start, got away, Trainer with a trifling lead, which he maintained throughout the first and second laps; in the middle of the third lap, Pudney passed his man for a yard or two, as if to feel his position and capa- bilities, and having ascertained the supremacy of both, drew back for awhile, and let his opponent again take the lead. At the termination of the fourth lap he was about a yard, and not more, ahead, but, makiag a tremendous rush down the first stretch of the fifth lap, ere he had traversed it he left his adver- sary some twenty yards en arriere, when the latter, finding that he was altogether Outpaced and outmatched, gave up the fruitless contest, Pudney, from this out, going at his leisure. We did not time the pace throughout, but the first mile was done in something like 4min 40sec. The winner can have the stakes by calling at our office next Thursday, at twelve o'clock. They will ne dulv presented to Pudney in the evening at his own house, the Coach and Horses, Back Church- lane, Commercial- road, where he wishes his backers and friends to attend. J. Trainer wishes us to inform pedestrians that it will be use- less for any one to challenge him at present, as he seriously injured himself in this raoe. EXETER COLLEGE ( OXFORD) ATHLETIC SPORTS. The annual athletic sports between the members of this col- lege took place on the old spot, Bullingdon Green, on Friday and Saturday, November 13th and 14th. The sports were of a varied character and the entries numerous, circumstances which tend to show that these healthy and invigorating pastimes are rapidly gaining ground in the university. The first day's amusement commenced with a Hurdle Race of 120 yards, over 10 flights of hurdles, 10 yards apart, 15 yards start and 15 yards finish-, heats. First heat, six starters: A capital race, won by Mr Haines, by about half a yard; Mr Flower second. Second heat, six starters: A good race, won by Mr Flamstead, who beat Mr Way by a yard. Final heat. The first and second in the pref- vious heats contended. A splondid race, Mr Way winning by a yard; Mr Fiamstead second.— Putting a Stone - 211b: Five entries, three throws each. Mr Ballantyne proved the winner by six inches, Mr Maxwell being second best; distance 23ft l © ia. — Flat Race, 100 yards, heats: First heat, six starters. At the the stature of the competitors, Horrocks being, we should guess, at least three inches taller than his opponeWt, but Hardman is exceedingly nimble on his feet, and appeared in excellent condi- tion. After being at scratch about a quarter of an hour, during which they alternately came out, a tolerably level start was effected, Hardman ( with eight yards given) soon beginning to still further widen the gap. Ou rounding the turn for home, Horrock's chance became a " forlorn hope," aud Hardman, who kept gamely on, ran in an easy winner by at least 40 yards. CANINE MATCH.— FAN AND MISCHIEF.— This was a race of 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, between W. Barlow's Fan of Kersley, and W. Cutting's Mischief of Manchester. The conditions were that the latter should give 2£ yards to the pound outside, and that the contest should be catch and win. On being bro ight to scale, Mischief weighed 24lb lloz, and Fan 151b 5oz, consequently Fan received about 23 yards start. The betting was 2 to 1 on Mischief, who overtook Fan when 40 yards from home, and thus won the match. Mr Hayes officiated as referee. MONDAY.— This afternoon there was a large assemblage of the admirers of the canine species attracted to witness a sweep- stakes for a lever watch, value 6 guineas, and also other money prizes, for which 24 dogs, from various parts of the country, had been entered, and some spirited betting took place.

SATURDAY, Nov 14.— The weather this afternoon was of the most favourable description, and nearly 1,000 persons were pre- sent. The following contents came off, the first between BOOTH AND HARTLEY.- VThe competitors were T. Booth and T. Hartley ( both of Blackburn) and the race was originally fixed for decision at the Salford Borough Gardens, but to- day at noon the venue was changed, aod Copenhagen course was selected.

At Iston Cross Grounds, on Saturday, the 14th inst, J. Smith and W. Peters met to run their six score yards match, for £ 5 a side. The men are both novices ; yet their appearance at scratch evidently showed they had been carefully trained, and taught the advantage of being careful of throwing a chance away. The betting was 2 to 1 on Smith; after dodging about for some time for the start, the men got off, Smith with the lead, which he managed to keep, and ran in a winner by a yard. CAUSER AND WHEELER.— These well- known men met, ac- cording to articles, last Monday, at the Plough, at Minworth, to run their eight score yards, for £ 15 a side. The interest taken in the match was apparent Jay the dimerous attendance from all parts, both men being known as clippers. Causer on the pre- vious Monday had beaten George Hill in a quarter of a mile match, and was considered on the present occasion to be in finer trim than at that time. Wheeler's friends were confident of success, and, from their knowledge of his pluckiness, they backed him at 5 to 4, which was taken to a good round sum, but not to the extent anticipated, there being rather a shyness on the part of Causer's friends. From the Plough Inn a move was made near to Tyburn House, where the ground was found to be iu capitalsorder. On the men coming to scratch each appeared in first- rate condition. A referee having been selected ( W. Burns of Darlaston), the men prepared to go, when, after a number of attempts, they got away with a level start, and ran at a rapid pace, neck aud neck, up to three score yards, when Causer took the lead, aud at six score he was two yards a head, and at the finish came in a winner by three yards, to the evi- dent surprise of all Wheeler's friends. It was an excellent race, and the ground was exceedingly well kept.

At the third attempt thev pit off, Elmsley ( in addition to the four yards given) gaining a little advantage.

TEE CRICKET AVERAGES FOR 1857. We can now positively state that the table of averages will appear in our impression of December 6.

THE INDIAN FUJVD.— AS the professional cricketers of Eng- land have not responded to the benevolent appeal which we last week were requested to make, the promoter of it has in- formed us that he shall proceed no further iu the matter singly. We feel sasured that if they were to form themselves into a committee a considerable sum might be realised; for, if once responded to by the class itself, however small a contribution, the sum would bo greatly augmented by subscriptions from clubs, as well as gentlemen players and admirers of the game, solely for the purpose of making it a cricketing contribution.

On Thursday, Nov 5, a gallant mill came off near Portsmouth, for £ 5 a side, between Jack Smith ( lately of Portsmouth, but a Londoner), and Tommy Trnttle of Portsmouth. It lasted two hours and 35 minutes, during which 89 rounds were fought, the men being severely punished, and they fought nearly to a stand- still. Their backers entered the ring and stopped the fight, and presented each man with the whole of the money for his gallantry. MACE AND MADDEN.— Jt » m Mace has no wish to revive the - subject of his late match with Madden, otherwise than by enter- ing into fresh articles with him, and bows to the decision given against him. His object is now to set himself right with his friends and the public, and, in order to show that his objection to fight, with Mr Dismore as referee, was not without reason, Mace begs to refer his friends and the public to the list pub- lished in last Bell's Life by Madden himself, in which Dismoro's • name appears as having stood £ 10 with him in his late match with himself. He is now prepared to make a fresh match with Madden or any other man in the world at lOst 41b. for £ 100 a side, A match can be made by applying at Bell's Life Office, or at Nat Laugham's, Cambrian Stores. As to t* e fact of Dismore's name appearing as standing £ 10 with Madden, we may mention • that the £ 10 in question was placed in our hands by Dis- nore < on behalf of a gentleman well known as a patron of the Ring, • who requested Dan to draw his money if Maddsu won, and pre- sent Mike with the winnings. Charley J enkinson has noc yet reoeived any remuneration for his loss of time and trouble- in training Mike Madden. BICE AND DAVIS.— Respecting this affair we have received from our Birmingham correspondent several letters forwarded to him on both sides, but none of those furnished by Bick's friends amount to absolute proof that Davis or his friends pro- cured the arrest of Davis. One letter from a solicitor, wh « hap- pened to be in the police- court when Davii was placed at the bar, certainly gives strong ground for suspicion that there was collusion, after the arrest, to procure Davis's committal; but there is nothing brought forward to prove any tampering with the police before the arrest. On the other hand, Davis's trainer writes that the police had warrants against both men issued by the authorities, and that he will, if required, produce a state- ment from the constable to the effect that there was no collusion whatever. If this be done there will of course be an end of the matter, and the men must fight again, but in the present state of the affair we can give no opinion whatever. The referee has written to us to contradict the statement that Davis gained the first knock down blow. He declares there was no knock down throughout the battle. KING AND CLABKE.— These men were to have met last week at Mr Bold's, Tithebarne- street, to complete arrangements for settling their dispute. King and his friends were there at the appointed hour, but were kept waiting some time by the non appearance of Clarke. His absence was, however, explained by the arrival of a messenger, who stated that Clarke's wife had been taken ill about noon, and expired shortly before five o'clock. At first King's party thought this was a ruse, but ultimately some of them proceeded to the Houghton Abbey Inn, Clarke's residenoe, where they found the report too true. Clarke's be- reavement will, of course, necessitate King to wait some time for a settlement, unless both parties consent to a draw. TYSON AND DEHANY.— These novices fight, for £ 5 a sidr, on Tuesday next, in the London district. The whereabouts can be learned at any sporting house in Chelsea or Pimlieo. The lads are heavy weights. Dehany will be at the Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne- walk, to- morrow ( Monday). MILLAED AND CEUTCHLET.— A further deposit of £ 5 a side for this match was made at Sam Millard's, Globe, Brick- lane, St Luke's, on Tuesday, and not at the Spider's, as erroneously stated in our last. The next of £ 5 a side is to be made at Harry Orme's, Jane Shore, Shoreditch, on Tuesday week. SMITH AND SINGLETON.— £ 2 a side was staked on Monday last for this match.

The next of £ 10 a side is due at Alec Keene's, Three Tuns, Moor- street, Soho. CURRY AND SIMMS.— We have received £ 1 from Simms on account of this match, but nothing from Curry. Alec Andrews wishes to inform Walker that it is no use his challenging him unless he will allow Andrews odds in weight or money ; if Walker will not agree to that, Andrews will fight Nat Langham's Novice, for £ 50 a side, at 8st 6lb, or any man in the world, bar Hicks, on the same terms. By sending articles and £ 5 to Bell's Life Office a match can be made. Young Hartley will fight Jemmy Keefe at his own weight, 7st 61b, if he will stake £ 13 to £ 10 ; or he will fight any ether lad in the world at 7st 21b or 7st 4lb, for £ 15 or £ 25 a side.

George Lang of Leicester will fight any man in Leicester at 9st 61b, for from £ 15 to £ 25 a side ; Dingy Frost or Mounter Greet preferred. Nat Langham, of the Cambrian Stores, Castle- street, Leicester square, begs to inform his friends that he has opened a select academy for private boxing every Tuesday evening, conducted by the host himself; gloves, & c, provided.

Hicks in his parlour, during the alterations, which are on a very extensive scale, Harry has built a very large room, in addition to his con- cert room, and having obtained a license intends nothing shall be wanting on his part for the comfort and accommodation of his friends and the public in general. We hope he will meet with success,, The opening dinner at Jemmy Welsh's, the Griffin, Church- street, was numerously aud respectably attended. The dinner was admirably put on the table, the viands being of the most re cherehi kind. The company did not break up till morning. The chair was taken by Mr Milborn, of Old- street- road, assisted by . Jobs Patten. The singing was such that it put Exeter Hall in the shade.

On Monday the inquest upon the body of John Starkins, one of the Hertfordshire constabulary, who was found brutally murdered near Stevenage, was resumed before Mr 0. Times, coroner for the Hitobin district. Since the adjournment the exertions of the police to procure additional evi- dence have been unremitting, ana on Friday week the important link required to connect the prisoner with the crime was found, the police- constable, on making a renewed search of the prisoner's cottage, having discovered the remains of a smock frock, with the sleeves torn out, aud a large portion of the body missing. This smock frock has been traced to the prisoner, and on examining it a great number of spots of blood were distinctly visible. Iu addition to this, some other evi- dence had been obtained, which will be found below.— Mr Superintendent Barns, on being sworn, said : I arrested Car- penter on suspicion of murder on the 3d of November, at two o'clock in the afternoon. Previous to the prisoner being re- moved from the house, my attention was called to the shirt produced, and I asked the prisoner how he accounted for some stains I found on the left wristband, and which an attempt appeared to have been made to remove. It had been stiffened by something being put on it, and the prisoner said it was caused by the lotion which he had been using for his leg. I found the bottle of lotion, aud now produce it. On the same day I received the wicker basket, the boots, and the gaiters. In the wicker work of the basket I found some grains of wheat and barley, and the prisoner's wife in his presence said, " There's no wheat there; do you think that if thero had been any wheat there, we should not have got rid of it ?" Spots of blood were found on the basket, and on tl^ following Saturday I cut out the pieces of the wicker work on which the stains of blood were, and delivered them to Dr Taylor. When I took the basket in my hand at the prisoner's house I made, an observation about the blood, when prisoner's wife said, " You can't make blood where there is no blood, can you ?" The trowsers produced were taken off the prisoner at the time, and delivered with the other things mentioned to Dr Taylor, On Saturday when the prisoner was before the ma- gistrates I stated that blood had been found upon his clothes, when the prisoner said, " It wasn't the blood of that man." When I took possession of the basket first it was quite wet, and had the appearance of having been recently washed out, and it. contained a wet cloth, which on examination presented several stains. The wife resisted the attempt of the polite to cfbtain possession of the basket. On Friday last I received two pieces of smockfrock, which I now produce before the jury, and on which are several marks of blood. They were given to me by Inspector Hawkes. I had several times searched the prisoner's cottage between the 3d and the 9th without being able to find the pieces of smock, and I can positively swear that thef were not in the place where they were after- wards found. On the left gaiter there is an appearance as if a button had been dragged off, and a button had been found by the police. On the thread left on the gaiter blood is visible. There are several missing buttons on each gaiter, and those that remain on are not all alike. The part of the gaiter corresponding to the missing button presented the appearance of having been recently torn. The gathers, also, of the shirt were much torn. The witness then gave the distances of the ground from actual measurement. From Carpenter's house to the place where the large quantity of wheat was fouud the distance was 253 yards; from that spot to where the blood was found was 93^ yards; rom the place where the marks of blood were visible to the pond was 20 yards; and between the spot at which the first struggle took place and that covered with blood five freshly- pulled tur- nips were found lying on the ground. The spot at which they were picked up would be in the direct line of a man going from the railway field to the place at which the wheat was spilt. The distance from the blood spot to the newly- pulled turnips was 40 yards. Carpenter kept a pig, and in the sty I found swede tur- nip parings of a similar description to the turnips whioh had been pulled up. On searching the prisoner's house I found about a bushel and a half of barley in the bedroom, and there was also a quantity of pig's meat— meal of some description. The witness then produced the knife and the clothes of the murdered man, and pointed out that in the collar of the coat was a cut which corresponded exactly with the shape of the knife.— Inspector Hawkes gave some additional details, and produced the two torn pieces of smockfrock which had marks of blood on. He stated, that on Friday last he found the two pieces in ques- tion in a cupboard in Carpenter's house. He was certain that they had been placed there since he made the previous search. Not only had ne searched that particular cupboard, but the whole house, and no such pieces of smock frock were then to be seen,— Edward Samuel Evans: I am a police inspector stationed at Hemel Hempstead, On Thursday, the 5th, I was searching Gunnell's Wood for the purpose of finding the hat of the de- ceased, which is now missing, and any evidence of corn having been hid iu the wood, as I suspected Carpenter of taking corn from his master and concealing it there, it being in a straight line from the field where he was at work on Friday, the 30. h, to his residence. I believe the field is called Railway Field, A man named Norman, a labourer out of work, drew my atten- tion to a place in the wood where there was a lot of long, loose grass and leaves, and on examination I found un- derneath some corn, which looked as if it had been spilt from a large quantity, and which I supposed had been hidden there. The place appeared to me to have been used as a place of concealment for some time. The corn which appeared to have been spilt was of the same description as that produced at the inquest and shown to Mr Monies. Gunnell's Wood is about 450 yards from Mr Horn's farm, and is not in a direct line between the farm and the field where Car- penter was at work with the men drilling wheat on the Thurs- day preceding the day on which the body was found ; but it is not very much out of the way. Gunnell's Wood is iu a direct line between the field where Carpenter was at work and his own residence. There was a half- beaten track in the wood where the wheat was fouud in a direct line to Railway Field, and also another beaten track from the same spot in the direction of Cooper's Braclies. I have walked the distance from Railway Field to the prisoner's cottage through the wood in which the wheat was found, and through Cooper's Braches, and it takes me 18i minutes walking leisurely.— William Isgate was recalled, and stated that on Saturday last, by direction of Inspector Hawkes he went to Cooper's Braches, to the spot where the wheat was found, and carefully sifted some mould taken up from that spot. He now produced a button which he took out of the sieve. It was a pearl button, and so were the buttons on both gaiters. Several buttons on the gaiters were rhissiag,— Inspector Capron, sworn: On Tuesday, the 3d of November, I took the prisoner to the police- station at Hitchin. While taking him there in a cart I remarked, " It is an awful murder, and it is an awful thing for you to be charged with it." He said, " You, sir, did not see me do it, nor nobody else. They have got to find that out, and if they find out I done it I must bide the conse- quences— that's all." On the 8th the prisoner was at the station aad I observed some blood on a piece of stuff he had been using to bathe his leg. I asked him how it came there, and he said it came from his nose; that his nose bled whenever he had a cold.— The coroner then carefully read over the evidence, commenting upon the suspicious circumstances of the case as they affected the prisoner charged. He observed that no one could doubt from the evidence that a dreadful murder had been committed. That was rendered perfectly clear from the testimony of the medical gentlemen examined, and it was their duty to say by their verdict whether the circumstances detailed afforded grounds of suspicion so strong as to warrant them in returning a verdict of wilful murder against Jeremiah Carpenter, or whether they considered it better to return an open verdict. He commented strongly upon the circumstances of the spots of DEATH OF ANOTHER MAN INJURED AT THE LAUNCH OE THE LEVIATHAN,— An inquest was held on Thursday, at the Poplar Hospital, on the body of Henry Stacey, aged 27, one of the men hurled from the windlass at the attempi(. d launch of the Leviathan on the 3d inst. Verdict— Accidental Death THE HEALTH OF LONDON.— In the week that ended on Saturday, November 14, the total number of deaths registered in London was 1,161, which approximates very closely to the number in the previous week. The returns show that there has been a decided increase of deaths in the last two weeks, for the weekly number in Octobtr was only about a thousand. Old persons appear to have suffered from the weather that has lately prevailed ; for, whereas in the last week of October the number of persons who died between the ages of 60 and 80 years was 152, last week it was 207; and though of those who had attained the age of 80 years and upwards there were in the former period only 32 deaths, the number last week was 50. Diseases of the respiratory organs ( exclusive of phthisis aud whooping cough, which in August were fatal iu 70 or 80 cases weekly, aud in the last week of October in 190 cases, rose last week to 291. Of the number last mentioned, 152 deaths were referred to bronohitis, 108 to pneumonia, or inflammation of the lungs, 19 to asthma. At this time, when influenza is common, only six cases are returned under this specific designation in the medical certificates. Phthisis attests to some extent the pre- sence of the same atmospheric influence, the deaths under this head having risen from 130 to 151. Last week the births of 907 boys and 830 girls, in all 1,737 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847- 56 the average number was 1,145. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30f341in, The mean daily barometrical reading ro « e above 80in on t& e 7th inst, and continued above it through the whole of last week. The mean reading on Thursday was 3t)- 569iu„ The highest reading in the week occurred on that day, and was 30' 61iu. The mean temperature of the week was 45- 1 degrees which is 1* 1 degree above the average of the same week iu 43 years ( as determined by Mr Glaisher). The smallest range of temperature occurred on Tuesday, and was 5' 1 degrees; the greatest on Thursday, when it was 17* 2 degrees. On the latter day the thermometer fell 2 degrees below the freezing point of water. The mean daily range of temperature in the week was 10' 3 degrees. The mean dew point temperature was 44- 2 degrees • and the difference between this and the mean teinpernture of the air was only 0' 9 degree. On four days the humidity of the atmosphere was 99, complete saturation being represented by 100. The temperature of the water of the Thames fell daily during the week. On Sunday and Monday the highest tempera- ture of the river was 54 7 degrees; the lowest occurred en Satur- day, and was 48 2 degrees. The wind was almost always in the north or north- east, No rain fell to an amount measurable by the gauge. MURDER AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— A most cold- blooded and heartrending murder was committed on Friday evening week, about five o'clock, at Ashover Hill, about five miles from the town of Chesterfield. The place where the murder was perpetrated is not far from the residence of the Rev. J. Nodder, whose premises were burglariously entered some months ago. The victim is a farmer named James Simpson, who has occu- pied a farm at Ashover under Mr John Tomlinson, and which is about 25 acres in extent. It was his usual practice to attend the market at Alfreten, which is held on a Friday, to dispose of eggs, butter, and other farm produce. On Friday morning week about 20 minutes past ten o'clock, he left his home at Ashover to go to Alfreton, about eight miles from Ashover, and on this occasion he was to have been accompanied by a farm labourer named George Parnell, who is in the service of Mr Tomlinson; but, as Parnell was busy winnowing, he did not go, and Mr Simpson proceeded to Alfreton alone, with a basket containing about 121b of butter, and 2s 6d in silver, which his wife gave him before he started. He was also to have sold two f « t pigs. It is believed he left Alfreton shortly after three o'clock ; and he proceeded along the turnpike- road to Higham, passed Ford House, by Hanley and Deerleap School, and it is not known at present whether he was accompanied by any person on the road. Beyond this school he passed the wood belonging to Mr W. Milnes, which i » about 100 yards in extent, to Ashover Hill, which was about half a mile from his own home, At this point the road is a lonely owe, the only houses near being that occu- pied by Mr Hopkinson, and another, in which Mr Bassett re- sides, At this part of the road Simpson was attacked ( it is sup- posed by some person from the wood), and shot behind the left ear with a pistol or a gun. The shot must have been fired close to his head, as the powder had burnt his whiskers mid blackened the flesh on the left side of the face and neck. The report of firearms was heard, but it excited no alarm, and the murderer would have ten minutes to escape, it being that time after the report had been heard before any person approached the spot. The first person to find the deceased was Mr Fletoher, of Alton Colliery, who was returning from home to go to his works, when on passing along the road leading from Northedge to Ashorer, he heard some heavy groans, which increased as bo drew near the spot. Soon afterwards a farm labourer named Joseph Mar- riott came up, and Mr Fletcher sent Liin to the house of Mr Bassett for a light, which was brought by Mr Bassett. They fouud the deceased lying on his side, with his head in a cart rut, and they turned him over, when Marriott said, " It's Simpson." The man was bleeding profusely from the head. They procured a board, and carried him to his home ; and Mr Skidmore, sur- geon, of Ashover, was called in, but pronounced life to be hope less. An effort was made to induce the dying man to speak, but he was insensible, and died about eight o'clock without utter- ing a word. The surgeon was of opinion that small shot had been fired as well as a ball. The wadding was fouud near the place where the deceased lay, and a great quantity of blood was on the ground. There were no marks of any struggle, and the deceased's clothes were not tern. His watch and i> ortemonuaie were stolen, but some articles of grocery which he had pur- chased were found in his basket unmolested. It is supposed that the murderer mistook the deceased for Mr Fletcher, who was on his way to his colliery to pay his men, and was supposed to have a good sum © f money in his possession. Nothing has be « n heard of the murderer. EXBCUTION.— On Monday morning Thomas R obert Davis, a fancy carpenter, was executed in front of Newgate for the mur- der of his wife by cutting her throat at their lodgings, Dorset- street, Ball's Pond, Islington. The wretched man went, accom- panied by his wife, to Camberwell on the 6th of October last, the day of the murder, relative to a job, and met some friends. They drank freely, and, returning home together, called at a neighbouring public- house, where they partook of some rum. They went to their lodgings, and very shortly afterwards the other lodgers heard words of altercation and then a scuffle, and arias of " You villain, you are going to murder me!" In a few moments after this the unfortunate woman was seen rushing from the apartment calling " Murder!" She succeeded - in get- ting into the street, when she fell into the arms of a friend and died. Davis was captured with a bloody razor in his hand. He was tried at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to death by the Lord Chief Baron. The prisoner, with the consent of the Rev Mr Davis, the ordinary of Newgate, was visited by the clergyman of his owu parish, at his own re- quest, and paid marked attention to the religious exhortations of both the rev gentlemen, as also to those of Uuder- Sheriffs Millard and Parker. To those gentlemen he stated that he was sincerely penitent, and that he prayed to God for pardon for his transgressions, hoping to be saved through the Lord Jesus Christ. SPOLLEN IN LIVERPOOL— James Spollen, who was tried for the murder of Mr Little, at Dublin, and who has since obtained for himself such notoriety, has arrived in Liverpool with the avowed purpose of getting out of the country. It appears that* he is about to resort to means in Liverpool somewhat similar to those he tried in Dublin without success. He is endeavouring to get funds to enable him to procure models and drawings of the railway terminus, Mr Little's offices, and his own cottage, which he intends to exhibit and comment upon for the twofold purpose of showing the impossibility of his being the guilty man, and of procuring fuuds to enable him to get to America or Aus- tralia. On Monday evening, about eight o'clock, he made his appearance at the central police office, Dalo- street, in company with Mr Thomas, publican, at whose house in Preston- street he is staying, when the following oolloquy ensued:— Addressing Mr Clough, the indoor superintendent of police, Mr Thomas said, " This is Mr Spollen, from Dublin." With this introduc- tion, Spollen, in a confident to » e, said:—" I want the assistance and co- operation of the police in opening a place where I intend to show a model of the premises where the murder took place, and also of my house and situation, so that I cau more clearly explain the incidents relating to it. I hope you will give me your assistance, for I want to raise means to get out of the country." Mr Clough replied that he was astonished at his ap- Elication. The police would deal with him as with any other of er Majesty's subjects, without reference to the past; but they would not extend to him any protection beyond that usually ex- tended to any other person. He also said it would be out of all character for the police here to give him special protection or pecuniary aid after what had transpired. Spollen seemed not to relish the reception, but he coolly thanked the superintendent, and then retired. Spollen, who is of middle stature and slightly built, has bushy sandy whiskers, almost concealing the lower part of the face, with moustache. He seemed to have lost the sight of one eye. He had on a long brown frock coat, and, though his looks were downcast, he did not appear to be in dis- tress.— Liverpool Daily Post. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. NOV 1?.

The total quantity of English Wheat at Mark- lane this V. eek has been on the increase, that fresh to hand this morning being moderately lair. Millers continue to act with caution, causing trade to rule quite as dull as on Monday, and, in the absence of anything doing, tha prices we quote mui- t be taken as nominal for both English and Foreign. With a good arrival of American barrels, the Flour trade was equally depressed, ajid prices still tending downwards. Barley and Malt were quite a drug. The quantity of Oats offering is now very large; and a further concession of IS per quarter did not have the effect of making the Uemand better.— Thecuireut prices, per qr.— British:— Wheat, Essex, Kent, and Suitoik, tfhite, 33s to 46S; aitte, FIUO selected runs, 47s to 51S; ditto red, 36S to 46S; ditto, I'alavera, 50s to 56s; Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and YORKUII^ RA 34A to 46S.

SEED MARKET.— Linseed remains without any lite, and prices wers almost nominal lor ihe present. Canary seed was in mouerate supply, trade dull, and prices further depressed.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, FBIBAT.— The supply of Beasts in to- day's market was only moderaie, and tor most kinds we had a steady demand, at Monday's improvement in value. Although the supply of Sheep was rather limited, the trade in Mutton was heavy, at a decline of 3d per 81b. There was leas aciivity in the Veal trade, and prices gave way 2d per 81b.

Fine qualities ol Foreign Butter are in fair request, and prices have improved, English Butter comes forward DARINGLY, and sold at late values. For Iresli Butter an Im- proved demand has also prevailed. During the past WEWK the supply has been equal to it, and the quality is good.— Fine new Dorset 126S to 128S; ditto middling 100A to 104s Od, Devon 112s te 116s- Fre » L. 12s to 15S per cvvt.

HOP MARKET, BOEOUGH.— The trade last week was afflicted by the monetary difficulties, and very little was doing. We are in hopes, as more financial confidence is restored a better demand will De produced. The moiety of the Hop duty has been postponed uiiUl February. This will relieve the pressure on the market, and rather more business is do- ing. Imports ol Foreign Hops last week were 351 bales Irom Hamburg. - New Weald of Kent and Sussex pockets, per cwt, 60s to 84s ; new Middle Kent pockets, ditto, 68s to ) 2US.

On Saturday, the 14th inst, these hounds were hunting the deer ( the Sarratt hind) that was lost near Wokingham on the 3d inst, which after a most arduous chase was taken in the Thames at Wargrave. A hound was missing from the pack, and the poor animal was found on the land of that excellent individual, Mr B. Palnser, M. P., near Twyford ; she had been shot, was much mutilated, aud nearly covered with blood. She was taken to Mr Garth's kennel, and properly treated by the huntsman ( R. Tocock), who it is well should know that there is so dastardly a character in his neighbourhood that he may be cautious how he lets hounds out of his kennel. It was doubtless the act of some low poaching scoundrel, and Mr Davis will be happy to reward any person who will give such information as shall lead to the punishment of this English sepoy. THE CHELTENHAM STAGH0UNDS. DEAB BBLL : Not having seen any account of the sport we are having with our stagheunds, under the management of our new and much- liked master, Mr W. H. White, I venture to for- ward you the following run with them on Tuesday last. The hounds met at Square Ditch Gate, when Lady Jolliffe, a capital hind ( which formerly belonged to Captain West, and always shows sport) was uncart? d. She pointed at first for Turkdowu, but turned to the right, went straight to Puesdown, skirted Compton Village, and made a point for Northleach, turning again to the right; she then made for Stowell Grove, crossed the brook bv Yanworth Mill, and spun over the common to Star Wood. * This covert, however, did not hold her a minute, for by this time the pack, with Venus and Rocket, at their head, were now on good terms with her, the hounds running m beautiful style, well together, heads up, with a scent breast- high, and plenty of music that made the woods re- echo. Dash- ing through Star Wood, La/' y Jolliffe proceeded with the pack, " fast ou her flying paces," to Chedworth Wooas, when, after clearing these and entering Chedworth Village, her gallant little ladyship was secured. Time, an hour and ten minutes, without a check, over aHout fourteen miles of our best wall- country, the walls of which are by no means diminutive, and the reverse of angel's visits. As may be imagined from the pace, which which was certainly killiBg, very few when her ladyship surrendered were " there to see." Among these was the young master, who, on a quondam Derby favourite, was with his hounds throughout the run, cutting out the work m excellent style. My Cheltenham friends have good reason to congratulate themselves on the acquisition of Mr White as master to the hounds. He appears eminently qualified for the post, and seems determined to show ail the sport he can, and to go straight— Yours, & c, AN OLD SUBSCBIBEB. P. S.— The hounds will not meet next week, as the foxhounds hunt every day. MR A. HEATHCOTE'S STAGH0UNDS. ME EDITOB : These hounds have commenced the season with some extraordinary sport, but have been particularly unfortu- nate in losing three of their best deer, including the celebrated Keston hind, which was killed by the pack after a clipping run on Saturday last. The meet was at Dorkiug, where upwards of 150 horsemen assembled, including several of our " cracK light weight jockeys, who, though well mounted, what with mishaps aud inability to live the pace, saw little of the run, which ex- tended six miles beyond Crawley, in Surrey, and over a stiff heavy country. Only half a dozen out of the immense field that started witnessed the finish from a distauce, except the master, who, foremost as usual, got up only in time to lament the destruction of his favourite deer. Her remarkable ruus last season, two of which extended as far as Goodwood, must be fresh in the recollection of those who had the pleasure to parti- cipate therein. The pack is in splendid condition, and Mr Heathcote hunts them a merveille— Yours, & c, MEILISH, THE ESSEX HOUNDS. ME EDITOB: With grateful recollections of many brilliant days' sport still clinging to a grateful mind, with Mr Henley Greaves's celebrated pack of foxhounds, in this county last season, I determined to have a look at the new Essex Hounds under the new master, Mr Arkwright, and although, I assure you, it is somewhat invitd Minerva that I take up my pen to give you a slight sketch of four days with them, it is at the Bame time from no lack of sport that they have afforded, but simply because not now " —— tenet insanabile Scribendi ca « oethe6," But having been particularly asked this day to send you an account of their performances, I will at once hurry you without further preface in medias res. SATUEDAT, NOV 7.— Axe and Compasses, High Roothing- street: Trotted otf to Dobbs Wood— blank, also Garnett's; found au old fashioned Roothing fox, in Roffoy Wood, and had a most extraordinary fine hunting run by Garnett's, skirting old Park, nearly to Colonel Tuffnell's, thence round by Good Easter and High Easter, never touching a covert, over the very cream of that, the very best part of the Roothings, so rarely tasted by fox- hounds, pointing for Leader and Screens, short back to Dobbs Wood, but never went in; up to this two hours and fifteen minutes. Here we had a long and considerable check, but eventually came up to our fox in a stack yard, and after racing him for ten minutes, ran into him in the open, close to Pleshey; time in all exactly three hours. This is a run which will be long remembered in the Roothings of Essex, by those happy few ( aud few indeed they were) who witnessed its glorious termination. MONDAY, Nov 9.— Stanford Rivers: All Sir Charles Smith's coverts blank; found in the Bitchings, and permit me, Mr Editor, here to observe, that this covert is never drawn blank. We have already called upon it five or six times this season— always with success. So again, on the present occasion, but the fox imme- diately went to ground. Ongar Park afforded a second, who went away a wide ring over Sir W. Bowyer Smyth's Park into Epping Forest, where the hounds having come to slow hunting, were stopped. Latton Park produced our third fox, and with him we had a most capital run of an hour and a quarter, over a vast proportion of grass at the back of Epping, and finally ran into him ill Paradon Woods. The first half hour of this run was as good as could possibly be desired, and over as fine a line. WEDNESDAY, NOV LL.— Old Sampford, where a very large field from Essex, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire were assembled— a day perhaps mere adapted for plucking violets than fox hunting, but still one which afforded one of the finest runs it has ever been my lot to witness. Went at once to Hempstead Wood, and found, but hung some time in covert; at last away, a very good line, by Bumpstead, nearly to Benduyshe Wood, and pointing for Laugley; but this fox beat us, always being a con- siderable time before us. We had now a cruel distance to trot back, but were well repaid— Westwooi afforded us a most gal- lant fox, who went away, leaving both sides of Thaxted on our right, over the finest plough country in England, as if for Anessy Wood ; bnt turning short to the right, and crossing the Dunmow and Thaxted upper road, we raced to Tilty Wood, through this without a check and away. Leaving Lord Maynard's other coverts, Bush and Maize Woods, and his park wide on our left, we made East End, in Mr Parry's country, and where his hounds had this very morning found a leash of foxes. Away without a moment's delay over that fine country by Chickney and Henham, nearly to Elsenham, where the bounds were with some difficulty stopped by the master, Mr Loftus Arkwright, the huntsman, aud Mr Chafy, running hard for Ugley Park, as it was presumed we had changed foxes either at Tilty Wood or East End ; one hour and a half, with nothing that could be called a check, over the finest ploughed country in England. I heard one old sportsman, who had hunted in almost every county in England, say that had we killed our fox he should have con- sidered this one of the finest runs he had ever ridden to. It would perhaps be presumptuous in me to offer an opinion as to whether or not we changed our foxes— nevertheless, for my own part, I entertain not a doubt of it. It remains only for me to add ( if it really was only one fox throughout), of the extraordi- nary animal we had pursued— " Semper honos, nomenque suum, laudesque manebunt." MONDAY, NOV 16th.— Hatfield Heath. Wont toTakely Forest — neutral with this pack and the Puckeridge— found, and out of the forest immediately, over a good line, to Birchanger Wood, and down to, and over, the railroad ; and we killed our fox almost in the centre of the town of Bishop Stortford— fifty minutes. Went back to the forest, and found again almost im- mediately, but, several foxes being en foot, we did nothing, and gave it up at four p. m. Trusting, I am sure, in common with yourself, Mr Editor, that this new pack, in their new country, may go on steadily with the same run of good luck and success with which they have commenced the present season, I am, sir, yours, & c, „ Nov 16, 1857. ESSEX. CAPITAL DAY WITH THE EARL OE WEMYSS'S FOXHOUNDS IN BERWICKSHIRE. ME EDITOB : These hounds have commenced the present sea- son with every prospect of excellent sport, the foxes being plen- tiful ou both sides the Tweed. On Tuesday week last, met at Chirnside village; the morning was fine, with a goodly turn out of the elite. The cover at Harelaw was drawn blank, but Black- burn Wood was all alive, holding two foxes. The hounds unfor- tunately chopped one of them, but the other breaking cover to the south aud west, through Edington Hill Wood, made for the Main's Plantations, when the hounds pressing him rather in- conveniently fast, and being apparently in a very bad wind, he turned short and snugly went to ground in a conduit that crosses the Ay ton post- road, near to the old Toll House. Trotting on to Whitehall another lox was found below the old Mansion House; he broke to the west, turning sharp to the south, but coming in contact with the fleecy tribe, the hounds got to fault. A son of the awl, with his piercing eye, on the opposite banks ef the Whitadder, viewed the fox across the river and down the Broom- dykes Haughs, and, the hounds being righted, hit him eft, dash- ing in gallant style through the deep, aud on to the banks at Hutton Hall, but, getting into difficulties, poor reynard got off to " live to fight another day." Onward for another fresh ' un, and found at Foulden Hagg; breaking cover to the north, the fox pointed as if for Ayton preserves, but being headed in the road by a team, he turned west, down the lane to Ediagton Hill Wood, then in and over the large enclo- sures to Harelaw, where a momentary check took place. Skirting the cover there, he went west by Chirnside Crofts, crossing the iron- road to the east of Chdrnside station, calling en passant at Blanerne East- side poultry yard for a little re- freshment, but the eager pack gave little law for baiting; they soon roused him out of his lair, and were again on the best of terms with him; then west and north by Billie Mains, the fox turned west of the lane by Lintlaw, and was pulled down in the open in a large enclosure in front of the farm- house. This really was as nice a thing as could be ridden to, the field being rather select at the finish. The country was light, but the fences enough. Distance 10 miles, time 43min. The noble master and a gentleman with a slight moustache, and well known in the Warwickshire country, led the van throughout, followed closely by a few of the plain. On the muster- roll being called a few did not respond— one in particular, on the chesnut, a thorough good sportsman aud preserver of foxes, whom we should gladly have seen in his usual place in the front ranks. The pack and cattle are in tiptop order. No master of hounds can be more desirous of showing good sport than the noble owner. Wre wish his lord- ship every success, and losg may he forward it on.— Yours, & c, A VETBBAN. OLD BERKSHIRE HOUNDS. ME EDITOB : Since the opening of the regular hunting season this pack have been having some excellent sport, especially when taking into consideration the extraordinary blindness of the country, thus rendering it so difficult both to man and horse to get to hounds when going at a top pace. On Friday, Nov 13, the meet was Fernham, and at Little Coxwell Furze Hills a fox was soon found; he broke without delay across Mr Fidel's Farm to Cole's Pits, through the gorse on to Wick Wood, Shel- lingford Wildeness, and Rosey, at a fast pace. Here a check of about five minutes occurred, but he was hit off over the brook, and immediately turned to the left across the meadows for Olu Field Farm, for about a mile, when he again turned to the left, and re- crossed the brook, and made his pace very good; leaving the village of Sheliitigford to the left and Kite Moor Plantation to the right, for Wicklesome Coppice, up nearly to Farringdon Brickkiln; time one hour. He was ultimately picked on to near Parringdon Grove, where he was given up after a very good and well- hunted run. Another fox was found at Gainfield Gorse, but did not afford much sport, and the hounds returned to their kennels after a very satisfactory day. Foxes in the old Berkshire country prove to be quite plentiful and very fine and strong, so that great hopes are entertained that the season will be a very successful one.— Yours, < Scc, Nov 18th, 1857. REALITY. THE SOUTH WOLD HOUNDS. ME EDITOE : Saturday, 14th Nov, met at Greenfield, at Mr Bulmer's; drew Greenfield Wood blank, so noted for good foxes, but found a good old fox in Woodthorp Grove. He came away with the hounds close at him through Greenfield, Swing, and Rigsby Woods, by the village up to Well Vale, where the hounds hunted him in first- rate style till they ran into him ; time, one hour and ten minutes. They found another fox in Ormsby Wood and raced him to ground; time, fifteen minutes, few being with the hounds out of a large field, except Morgan and his first whip, Harry Tomiin. Another fox was " halloed" from Worlesby Wick that they tried to hunt, but he had been gone too long, and they lost him near Belchford. This ended one of the best days ever seen in the Vale of Well; time, two hours and ten minutes. TUESDAY, Nov 17.— The meet was at Haltliam; drew Hal- tham Wood blank, found directly in Fulsby Wood, and came away through Haltham Wood, leaving the village to his left, Koughton to his left, just skirting Thornton Wood, leaving Hignall Wood to his left, through Bracken Wood, and by Woodall Spa. Pointing for Stixwold, turned to his left by Kirk- stead, over a very stiff line of fen, and few with the hounds; through Tattershall Car he went to Tattershall Village, where the fox got into some buildings, and was left for another day. It puts the South Wold gentlemen that are left in mind of the days of that first- rate man, John Walker, whose name ranks " A 1" in this country as well as many others. MONDAY, NOV 16.— The meet was Tothill Manor; drew Gayton Gorse blank, but found directly in Tothill Wood, and after a ring or two in cover, owing to the fox being headed twice, he took a short ring back to the cover, when the hounds pressed him so hard that he left it with the pack close at his brush, and they fairly ran into him in the open field. Another fox went away while they were eating the other on the opposite side of the wood, and Morgan lost no time in getting his hounds on the line, when they hustled him in good style by Anthorp, through Burwell Park, leaving the wood to his left, Burwell Village to his left, poiatiDg for Haugham, where he beat us ; hope to be on better terms another day. Found in the worthy master's cover; run a sharp ring of fifteen minutes to ground in Buckland Gorse,— Yours, & c, FEOM OKB WHO SAW THE WHOLE, SEVERE DAY WITH THE MORPETH FOXHOUNDS.' ME EDITOE : On Friday, Nov 6. these hounds met at Ulgham. A fox was found immediately in Ulgham Park Wood; breaking south, and passing through Robin Hood Wood, he made a circle west and north, leaving Tritlington and Peahills to the right, Turning at Forest Wood, he made, at a slashing pace, for his old habitation, iu Park Wood, thence again breaking south,- and probably, not having found advantage from the western circuit he tried the opposite tack this time, and went east forth Grange Wood, leaving Woodhouse aud North Woodhouse Fari on his left. Too closely pressed by the hounds to admit < dwelling in the covert, he broke to the north by Widdringte South Steads, pointing for Chevington Wood. Here he wa probably headed, for he made a very sharp turn to the east, aw ran direct for the sea, by Bullock Hall, Whitefield House, aw Chibburn. Here he was viewed in the samu field with th hounds, and a shepherd's dog chased and turned him toward the rabbit warren on the sea- shore. There was no little difficult; in picking out the scent among the sandy bents, but the hound worked on beautifully southwards by Hemscot Hill, Hig! Thorn, and Hundilee, where the fox was viewed close before th hounds. Passing Widdrington Station to the right, he agait sought shelter in the Grange Wood, but, as before, he wa quickly forced through it into the open. Finding himself i: difficulty he now made for the long plantations near Widdring ton, and, after some dodging, was run into on the North Eastert Railway, about a mile from Widdrington Station. The distanc traversed by the hounds during this severe run could not hav been less than twenty- five miles. The time three hours and fiv minutes. The pace across the epen was always good, and a times very severe, the ground extremely heavy, and the fence strong and blind. Altogether it was a most trying day fo hounds and horses, particularly at so early a period of th season, and afforded an excellent commencement of the gloriou reality which, it is to be hoped, may give ample employment t the pens of your correspondents from all parts during the coars of the season.— Yours, & c, A. THE CHESHIRE HOUNDS. ME EDITOB : I have observed in your paper of the 15th letter, signed " X. Y. Z.," which does not do justice totheru from Crow's Nest Gorse, in the Chester Vale, on the 5th ins' I saw the run, aud will attempt to describe it, as I think it we deserves a place in your columns. The hounds found sever; foxes in Crow's Nest Gorse, and in about ten minutes went awa with a fiue old fox pointing for the hills, but, being headed ? the canal bridge, he ran along the towing path for about or hundred yards, which occasioned a slight check; he then headt for Bolesworth, but, the wind being in his teeth, he bore awt for the bills, up to the foot of which ( to Pennsylvania Wood I w. informed) the hounds raced him, without the slightest check,: twenty minutes, for the last five or six fields having by far ti best of it over the horses. The fox was viewed crossing tl bridle- road which runs parallel to the hills, close before tl hounds ; he tried several of the main earths, but, being com derably pumped, dared not go to ground, and, after taking tv or three turns round the cover, leaving Peckforton Castle on tl left, gallantly faced the open into the Nautwich Vale. Leavit Spurston and the Beeches coverts to his right, he pointed f Wrenbury, but, being too closely pressed, he turned to h right and endeavoured to get to Cholmondeley, where there a, some very strong earths; but he could net reach them, and w> pulled down in the open, after as fine a run a3 could be seen, ai over as splendid a country ( all grass); time, one hour and fort; three minutes— one hour and ten minutes of which was iu tt open. Not the least part of the pleasure I experienced in seein this beautiful pack ( the bitches) hunt and race their fox wi that of witnessing the quiet and workmanlike manner in whir Edwards hunted them ; aud I am quite SHre, had not his syste been quite perfect, they could never have stuck to their fox i through those hills, abounding sith foxes, and forced him aw; again into the open.— Yours, & c, FAIEPLAY. THE WORCESTERSHIRE HOUNDS. ME EDITOE: These foxhounds, u » . der the able manageme of Colonel Clowes and J. R. Cookes, Esq, with Ward as hunt man, have been having brilliant sport both in their cubhuntii and since the regular seasen commenced. Their first advertise meet was on Monday, Nov 2, at Bishop's Wood, where thr. brace of foxes were on foot as soon as the hounds were put i: and the result was two merry little runs, iu which a brace wei killed in the open. THUBSDAY, Nov 5.— Met at Severn Stoke, drew the Alder and found a brace immediately; stuck to one, and after fort minutes ran him to ground at Croome. MONDAY, Nov 9.— Monkwood, found a short running varmini but after a deal of dodging we left him for another day. WEDNESDAY, NOV 11.— Met at Goosehill, where a tine old fo was at home, and after a short ring round the cover, which th hounds made too hot to hold him, he broke away in resolut style. A blast of the horn brought every hound* out'of covet and they settled to him in earnest, and after as fiue an hour' run as any foxhunter would wish to enjoy, he was lost in th gardens at High Park. FEIDAY, NOV 13.— At Brokeridge Common drew the " gorse blank and then tried the " lake," where we found a leash foxes, and a more beautiful find was never heard or witnessed the pack after a very pretty run of thirty- five minutes killir him in the open. We next drew Jack's Paddock, and m comes the best part of it, for no sooner were the hounds iu th; a whimper was heard, and one cheer from the huntsman i creased it to a full crash. The next minute " gone- away" w proclaimed by that fine sportsman, Mr Cookes. The noun were to his " halloo" in an instant, and a tremendously fast r of forty- five minutes was terminated by his going to grour According to all accounts the Worcestershire sportsmen nev commenced a season under more favourable auspices, for, than to the owners and occupiers of covers, there promises to be most liberal supply of foxes, aud long may they ( the COY owners) live to enjoy many a good run, the fruits of their spor manlike conduct and good example. The hounds are in splenc' condition, and the men very well mounted. Ward seems give universal satisfaction ; Sam, the first whip, is a very usel man, and well liked ; and Ward's son as second whip, appears good horseman with a steady eye to hounds, and under 1 father's tuition will no doubt go on well.— Yours, 4c, • BEEVirs DEAB BBLL : As you have often expressed a wish to he of the doings of the several packs in England, I send you an : count of a good day with the above, on Friday, the 13th in The meet was Brockeridge Common, where a good field s sembled to meet Ward aud nineteen couple of hounds, whi were in the finest possible condition, considering the t| me year. First drew the gorse blank, then trotted to the Osi Bed, where a leash of foxes were soon on foot. Got away wi one, and raa him ta ground on Tonbury Hill, where anoth quickly got up, and took us back to the Osier Bed, where 5 lost him, Reynard having taken refuge in a cottage, from whi he was soon dislodged, and rau into the open. Then drew Jac! Paddock, belonging to the Earl of Coventry, where Old Ves and two or three other favourites soon told us Charley was the A fine old fox broke in the direction of Baughton Village, turi to the left through Fletcher's Osier Bed, crossed the Worces and Jenkisbury road, ran through the village of Ryall, over Ripple Fields— as fine a country as ever a crow fiew over, i pace first- rate— thence on to the village of Ripple, where he b to the left, through the gorse, on Brockeridge. This he i dained to try for shelter, and went over the common t through Harbour Wood, where, in consequence of a freSh ( retting up, the hounds separated, and so saved our first fc life ; distance about eight miles, without a check. The hou: worked beautifully, and a nicer pack no man need wish foi Yours, & c, A YEOiiAf VULPECIDISM IN HERTFORDSHIRE.

I give you the particulars, and leave you to i pose of them as you think fit. On Sunday morning last a 1 dog fox was found in a trap, the chain of which was entang in a hedge, thus preventing his escape. From his emacia. condition, and the mortified state of the limb, he must hi been some days in durance vile. This business throws so light upon the many blank days his lordship had here last seas* Ampthill, Beds, Nov 17, 1857. INDIGNANT PAU HUNT. ME EDITOE: Perhaps your very obliging " anonymous" cor- respondent, " One of Last Year's Committee," will, kiudly inform me, although I am neither his " Grace of Hamilton" nor " M le Prefet," whether the letter sent in to the Pau Hunt Com- mittee last February, undertaking to prove by evidence, taken under oath, the existence of drags, by no means " few and far between," was T ANONYMOUS. DEATH IN THE HUNTING FIELD.— AU accident of a fatal character occurred to the Hon Martin Hawke, younger brother of Lord Hawke, of Wormesley Hall, Pontefract, on Thursday afternoon. Mr Hawke was riding after Lord Scarborough's hounds, which had met at Park- lane, near Hatfield, and were in pursuit of a second fox close by Barnby Dun, when his horse, a very fine animal, in escaping a flight of rails dropped short upon the fence, pitched his rider head foremost into the ad- joining field, and after turning a somersault fell completely upon him. Assistance was promptly rendered, whentho hon gentleman was found to be bleeding profusely from the mouth and nostrils, and in such a dangerous condition that it was deemed necessary to remove him at once to the nearest house, Bramwith Hall, theresidence of Mr L. Kerans. With a view to obtain medical aid as soon as possible the sufferer was soon afterwards placed in a carriage to be conveyed to Doncaster, but it was found that he was unable to bear the fatigue of the journey, and he was then taken to the house of Mr Newsome, of Barnby Dun, where he was shortly afterwards attended by Mr W. C. Russell, surgeon, of Doncaster. On examination, it was found that the unfortunate gentleman had sustained very severe internal injuries, four or five of his ribs being broken, and, although everything possible was done for his relief, he sank rapidly, and expired at about six o'clock in the evening, remain- ing conscious up to within a very short tiine of his death. This melancholy event has cast a deep gloom over the neighbourhood, the deceased gentleman and his family being well known and respected throughout an extensive district in the West Riding of Yorkshire. THE DRAMA. PBINCESS'S THEATBE— A little piece, very neatly written, and illustrating the good moral sentiment that the fear of dis- covery should not be the only bar to the commission of a crime, was produced on Monday night, under the title of " A Case of Conscience." Mr Clacaber ( Mr D. Fisher), a penniless young man, has been much struck with a paragraph in the " leader" of a newspaper, containing the assertion that were the mere pulling of a spring in England to produce the death of an enemy in China, with certain good results to the operator, no honest man would be found to pull it. Mr Clamber's troubles arise from his finding a pocket- book containing five thousand pounds worth of bank notes, and his qualms of conscience as to the ap- propriation of them. Mr Fisher acted with great spirit, and was well supported by Mr Raymond and Miss Murray, the young lady playing a maid- servant with much force and humour. ADELPHI THEATEE.— A grand piece of diablerie, said to be fouuded upon an old German legend, but translated from a French drama, " La Legende de l'Homme sans T6te," produced not very long since at the Ambigu, was brought out at this theatre on Monday night, under the literally translated title, " The Legend of the Headless Man." The story is German in general, and Frankensteinish in particular. Carl Blitzter ( Mr B. Webster) is a young student who falls in love with a high- born lady, Christine ( Madame Celeste), about to be married to Count de Valberg ( Mr Billington), and with some secret power of magnetic attraction fascinates her ideas, and even her notions. He at tempts to carry her otf while she is travelling with her lover; but his attack is defeated, he is taken prisoner and condemned to death. While in prison he is visited by a former casual acquaintance, DrWeiden ( Mr C. Selby), an old philosopher, who thinks he has discovered the secret of the elixir vita; and thinking Carl a likely subject for experiment, purchases his body from him with a sum of money, which Carl intends shall hire a party to surround the scaffold and rescue him. The plot, however, is discovered by Couht de Valberg, and the student is beheaded. In the third act we have the resuscitation of the body, the fight between Carl and Valberg, resulting in the death of the latter, the desperate attempts of Carl to win Christine to his purposes, her resistance, his descent to the infernal regions, and her apotheosis. Up to the end of the second act the piece went bril- liantly, but the third dragged very wearily, and at the fall of the curtaia the malcontents were uproarious. They were quieted by a very manly speech from Mr Webster, who mentioned the difficulties of getting up a heavy piece in a small theatre, and promised more glibness in future. All the characters were ad- mirably supported. Mr Webster looked thoroughly both the handsome, dashing young student, and the ghastly revivified corpse ; and both he aud Madame Celeste played with thorough spirit and good- will. Mr Selby's make- up was marvellous ; he looked as if he had stepped out of a picture- frame, so correct was every detail of his quaint old German dress, and Mr Wright played a c6mie student with much humour. We were sorry to see Miss Mary Keeley and Miss Wilton in parts so beneath their respective powers. The scenery is excellent, one bit especially, the " Ravine and old stone cross," being the most careful and poetic painting we have ever seen at this theatre. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. < e \ The commercial public during the past week have been e very much disturbed by the frequent recurrence of failures e and the difficulties attending discount accommodation, f Six or seven first- class houses have been compelied lo succumb, and besides the depressing influence they exercise, the bill- brokers and bankers are rendered more suspicious, and even solvent house3 are unable to obtain the assistance they frequently require. On Tuesday, the failure of Messrs Hoare, Buxton, and Co, in the East India and Colonial trade, took place, and their engagements are estimated at £ 600,000. Several others were announced on Wednesday, viz, Messrs Sieveking and Son, in the Swedish trade, debts probably £ 500,000; Messrs Su^ nsden and Johnson, mer- chants ; Messrs Allen, Smith, and Co, in the Danish trade; Messrs Brocklesby and Wesselsin the corn trade, and Messrs Gorrissen, Huffel, and Co, with heavy engagements. No important additions to the last of these casualties were made on Thursday, but one of the most eminent houses in the American trade was compelled to seek assistance from the Bank of England. After some negotiation the required accommodation was granted, and thus one of the most serious events which would otherwise have distinguished the present crisis has been happily averted. Another failure in the Cape trade took place yesterday. It will be seen by i these catastrophes, that the effects of the American crash, ! and the reaction here, are being rapidly developed. Apart from these calamities, however, the tendency of affair^ is more favourable. The gold withdrawn to Scotland and Ireland, where the banks were compelled to for- tify themselves is returning, there has been an influx of specie from Australia, and it is believed that some of the gold sent away to the United States will soon flow back again. Meanwhile the exports to the Continent and the East are diminishing. The Nemesis, which left yesterday for India and China, only took out £ 318,788 in specie. The demand for money continues very active, and the pressure at the Bank is exceedingly severe. Trade in the textile manufacturing districts is very flat, but the suspension of the Bank Act has produced a favourable impression. Ia Mincing- lane business improved early in the week, and prices advanced, but the markets closed yesterday with a depressed appearance. The English Funds have been remarkably well maintained in the face of the adverse influences now operating on all departments of business, and the variation has not ex- ceeded | per cent. The public have been investing, and there is also a good speculative demand for Stock. The Bank, on the other hand, havev been supplying the market. Consols closed yesterday afternoon at 89| 90, for money, and at 90£ i, for account. Exchequer Bills have been firmer, viz, 13s to 8s discount.

A GOOD DAY'S SPOET.— On Monday last, in the back waters at Sandford, near Oxford, Mr S. Morland killed with the spoon bait six pike in two hours and a half, weighing in all 34lb, the largest being lljlb, after which he succeeded in taking 13 fine perch, weighing 2141b, also one tench, 3lb 9oz.

George White, fisherman, was in attendance on the above occasions. THE HOBTICULTUEAI SOCIETY OF LONDON.— An important' address to all lovers of horticulture has been just issued by this society, for the purpose of opening new channels of communication with every part of the United Kingdom. The address, which is signed by the Duke of Devonshire, the Bishop of Winchester, and all the other members of the council, and also by Lords Ilchester and Digby, Sir Charles Le- mon, Sir Philip Egerton, Sir Thomas Acland, Sir John Rams- den, Sir William Middleton, Sir Walter Trevelyan, Mr. Law- rence Sullivan, Mr. Fox Strangways, Sir Joseph Paxton. Profes- sor Lindley, Mr. Sheriff Mechi, and other Fellows, shows that in the course of 53 years the society, by its importations and distributions of rare plants and seeds from all countries, by its publications, by its exhibitions of plants and fruits in London and at Chiswick, by giving prizes ( alone amounting to above £ 20,000) to gardeners for conspicuous merit, and by its con- tinued investigation of the qualities of new esculents and fruits, has so changed the whole aspect of English horticulture, that it is now as unusual to see even a badly grown plant as it for- merly was to see a good one. The document then proceeds to show that the society has also expended considerably more than £ 40,000 upon an experimental garden at Chiswick, which is the only public establishment in the kingdom especially de- voted to practical horticulture, and is now maintained for the purpose of showing how high cultivation may be carried out with economy, of bringing to the knowledge of the public what- ever is most important in fruits, esculent plants, and objects of decoration, and of exhibiting ( in use when practicable) the prin- cipal implements employed in gardening. It has been through this establishment that a very large proportion of the most beautiful plants, hardy and half hardy, which have been added to our gardens since 1816 was originally introduced, and it is felt that with an increased income consequent on an increased num- ber of Fellows, new countries might be still explored with undi- minished advantage. The society therefore earnestly invites the co- operation of all lovers of gardening in the United Kingdoms by greatly diminishing the cost of fellowship, aud infusing fresh activity into every department. The public has already ex- pressed its approval of these measures by adding no fewer than 197 to the number of Fellows since the 23d of September, 1856, in addition to which a sum of considerably more than £ 3,000 has been recently subscribed by Fellows and their friends for the purpose of enabling the society to enter upon a new course of undiminished vigour. Tho long existence of the society has rendered this the more desirable because there is npw a serious diminution in the number of its supporters, owing to deaths alone; it appearing that it has thus lost as many as 322 in 10 years. The circular is accompanied by a detailed description of the plans of the society for the ensuing season. We under- stand that the country is responding to this appeal with great spirit. SPOETING IN AUSTEALIA.— By the Australian mail we have received files of Bell's Life in Sydney and Bell's Life in Vic- toria, which prove that our friends in the Colony are as fond of the sports of the old country as we are at home. Racing, cricket, rowing, pugilism, & c, & c, seem to be in the ascendant. Both papers are well edited, and there is an evident intention on the part of the proprietors to uphold that spirit of fair play among our colonial brethren which it has ever been our earnest en- deavours to instil into all sportsmen in this country. THE SUNKEN RUSSIAN SHIPS AT SEBASTOPOL.— The Patrie states that the American engineers, who undertook by means of a special apparatus to raise the Russian ships of war sunk in rhe Harbour of Sebastopol, have given it up and returned to Constan- tinople, declaring that their contract oannot be performed, except at an enormously disproportionate cost. It appears that the River Tchernaya has brought down immense quantities of silt and gravel, which being accumulated in the harbour, the ships are now embedded in this deposit, and cannot without much labour be extricated. WINTEB ASSIZES.— The winter assizes for 1857 have been fixed by the Secretary of State to be held at the following places :— Liverpool, for Lancashire, Mr Justice Wightman. York, for Yorkshire, Mr Ju- tice Williams. Chester, Stafford, Derby, Mr Justice Crompton.

It appeared that the plaintiff, Edward Cyrus Gosling, is a youS man, aged 19, the son of an architect residing at Woolwich, and was m the employ of Mr Atchison, an architect of Muscovy court, at a salary of £ 1 10s a week, with a gradual annual ad- Consols, 89f 90 | 3os dis New Three per Cents, 8Sfc £ | India Stock, 213 215 Long Annuities, 1 15- 16 I Consols for Account, 90| J The business transacted in the Foreign Stock Market during the week has not been large, but prices generally ruled rather firmer.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. A DELINQUENT BEAK.— The Court of Queen's Bench was on Thursday moved to pronounce judgment against a delinquent magistrate, under circumstances which, in this age and country, may be pronounced absolutely unheard of. The facts lie in a nutshell. The defendant, Mr Bellaney, a person of considerable property, and a justice of the peace for the county of Durham, had two men brought before him by a policeman, charged with the destruction of a rabbit on bis own property. Instead of at once declining to act in the matter, Mr Bellauey convicted the defendants in a severe penalty, ordered them in default of im- mediate payment to be handcuffed and sent to prison, and finally compromised the matter by liberating them on payment of £ 1 each, which, instead of handing over to the county fund, he put into his own pocket. For this scandalous misconduct the Attorney- General veryproperly caused a criminal information to be filed against Bellaney, charging him with extortion aud cor- ruption in the exercise of his magisterial functions. The case was tried at the last assizes for the county of Durham, the evi- dence was perfectly conclusive, and the jury found that the de- fendant was guilty of taking money corruptly under colour of his office. Nothing was— nothing, indeed, could be— urged in mitigation; and Mr Justice Coleridge, after setting forth with grave severity the singular enormity of the offence, and justly dwelling upon the fact that the case was entirely divested of anything that could by possibility be relied upon as an extenu- ating circumstance, sentenced the offender to a fine of £ 200, and to a year's imprisonment in the Queen's Prison. RUNNING DOWN CASE.— In the Queen's Bench, on Thursday, an action was brought to recover compensation from the London General Omnibus Company, for injuries caused by the negli- gence of their servants to a horse, the property of the plaintiffs, Messrs Woolley, the jobmasters. It appeared that the horse in question was hired out to the Great Western Railway Company, and was driven in a three horse van, as leader, on the 3d of July. The van was standing in Cheapside, at the corner of Ironmonger- lane, when an omnibus, the property of the defendants, came up from behind, and the driver pulled sharp in to avoid some other vehicle, and the front step struck the horse's shoulder and cut it severely. The horse was taken home and attended by Mr Mavor, the veterinary surgeon, but died after some time." Mr Mavor's bill was £ 6 6s, aud the value of the horse was stated to be £ 45. The only question in dispute was whether the accident had been caused by the omnibus being suddenly pulled into the side or the horse being turned out just at the moment it came up. Several witnesses were examined on each side, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— £ 56, PBIVILEGE FBOM AEEEST.— CUBIOUS QUESTION.— On Tues- day, in the Common Pleas, the case of Montague v Harrison came before the court upon cause being shown against a rule to show cause why the defendant should not be discharged from custody upon the ground that he had been arrested for debt while attending at the Marylebone police court as a prosecutor in a case of felony. The question raised was one entirely new — namely, whether a person so attending was privileged from arrest.— Mr Sergeant Byles, in showing cause, said that the affidavits on which the rule had been granted stated that, on the 4th of August, the defendant was in attendance at the police court, when the further hearing of the case was adjourned by Mr Broughton until the 6th. Even in the presence of the magistrate, and within the court, the defendant was seized, pulled out of court into the street, forced into a cab, and taken to prison. This took place without any warrant or authority being produced, and there was reason to believe that such vio- lent caption had been made to prevent the attendance of the defendant before the magistrate on the 6th of August. The next affidavit was by the defendant, whose name was George Henry de Strobolgie Neville Plantagenet Harrison [ laughter] ; but, in explanation of the name, he must inform their lord- ships that it appeared in a subsequent part of the affi- davit that the defendant was a descendant of Henry VI. It stated that, on leaving the presence of the magistrate, and within the precincts of the court, a number of persons attacked him, and with force and violence put him into a cab. In answer, there was an affidavit of the plaintiff's clerk, who said that, having become aware that a prosecution was going on at the suit of General Harrison, he attended aud found thatne was the defendant in this case. He had made inquiries, and had ascertained that the defendant had obtained a great quantity of goods upon the ground that he was General Harrison, and that the goods had afterwards been got back by force. Mr Bishop, of Bond- street, the agent for Westley Richards, the gun- maker, stated that he had held a warrant to arrest the defendant from the 8th of July, but had been unable to do so until the 4th of August. The defendant was not arrested until he had got upon the pavement in the street.— Another deponent said that the defendant was not arrested until he was in the street, and he then offered considerable resistance. Nobody connected with the sheriff of Middlesex in any way interfered with the defend- ant while be was in the police court; but many people, who alleged that they had been cheated by him out of goods, sur- rounded him and demanded payment of their debts.— The Lord Chief Justice said the question was whether the defendant had been arrested whilst attending a court of justice as a witness, or ou his way from thence.— Mr Sergeant Byles s& id he understood the whole question to be whether attendance at the police court entitled a party to the same protection as he would have while attending a superior court. The charge of felony was this:— It was alleged that some persons who had supplied the defendant with goods, when forcibly taking them back, had taken other goods worth abeut £ 1. Ultimately the grand jury threw out the bill. The defendant contended that he was privi- leged from arrest; but the only case at all analogous was that of Mr Cobbett, who had been arrested whilst attending before a bench of magistrates to obtain a sum- mons. The learned sergeant contended at some length that the defendaat was not privileged when the arrest was effected.— Mr Sergeant Atkinson, in support of the rule, said the real ques- tion was, whether the defendant was privileged as a witness. The other side bad to make out that he went to the police court quite voluntarily, and of his own mere will and pleasure; but he submitted that there was a moral and legal duty on him to ap- pear, and therefore that he was privileged. It appeared that the defendant had been in attendance at the police court before the 4th of August, when certain persons had been charged with felony, and the case had been reasanded until the 4th. The de- fendant attended on the 4th, and was to attend on the 6th. There were no recognisances until after the arrest, but, accord- ing to the practice, the magistrate made him enter into au engagement to appear from day to day as he might be required. — The Lord Chief Justice said he had never heard of any such engagement.— Mr Sergeant Atkinson repeated that such was the practice, and he argued that it was the defendant's duty to at- tend, and therefore he was privileged.— The Lord Chief Justice said the court entertained no doubt that the rule must be made , , Iu. , J U1' e ' ast he was a second- class passenger from Strood, on the South Eastern line, when the train came into collision with another train waiting at Lewisham, the accident resulting in the death of 12 persons and the injury of several others, amongst whom was the plaintiff. He was riding with his back to the engine, and on the collision taking place ha was thrown forward against a gentleman seated opposite, and was then jerked back into his seat. He afterwards managed to get to his lodgings, and went to his employ- ment on the following day, but he was so ill that he had to be assisted home by a fellow clerk. He was attended by Mr btewart the company's doctor, and was afterwards re. moved to Deal for change of air. He is still suffering from pain in the back and had to relinquish his situation.— Dr Stewart deposed that the plaintiff had received a severe shock to his nervous system, but there was no actual injury to the structure, and Mr Atchison stated that the plaintiff had resigned his situation solely on the ground of inability to perform his duties after the accident.— Mr Edwin James addressed the jury for tho defence, observing that the company thought it right to resist this with other actions, in some of which exorbitant claims were made, but they were willing to pay such damages as the circum- stances warranted, and the jury would recollect there was no personal injury.— Mr Barou Martin, in summing up, said the real question was what the jury thought was the proper amount for the plaintiff to receive. The country derived great benefits from railways, and he believed the calculations showed thatsince their introduction there were less accidents than by the old mode of travelling; but, when they did occur, they were ol course more serious in their effects. The plaintiff would be en- titled to compensation for the loss of his employment and also ,. hls. J) erS? iml suffering— The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages—£ 170. OMNIBUS RIVALBY.— In the Exchequer, on Thursday, an action was brought by one Kemp against Mr Macnamara, to recover damages for injuries caused by the negligence of the defendant s servant.— Mr Skinner and Mr Powell were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr Edwin James and Mr Gordon Allen re- presented the defendant.— It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff, George Kemp, that he is the conductor of one of Mr Bastable's omnibuses, running from the Elephant and Castle to Kingsland, and the defendant is the managing director of the London General Omnibus Company. At half- past four o'clock on the 11th of July both omnibuses were at the Flower- pot, Bishopsgate- street, and proceeded ou their journey, the plaintiff's omnibus being in advance. The plaintiff took up three ladies in the Borough, and the omnibus was pulled up for the purpose of setting them down at the Eastern Counties Railway. At this time the defendant's omnibus endeavoured to pass on the wrong side, when the guard iron of the front seat struck the hand of the plaintiff as he was holding on by the top rail of his own omnibus, in order to let the ladies out, severely injuring and lacerating his thumb. He was assisted by Mr Hakeman, a passenger, to a chemist's, and was thence removed iu a cab to the London Hospital, where he was confined for three weeks. The plaintiff stated that his wages were 35s a week, and his privilege of taking parcels made up the amount to £ 2 2s a week. - Cross- examined by Mr James : When you were putting down the ladies, did you alight ? Witness : I did not.— Mr James • Is it not usual to do so ? Witness : Not always ; if we do, ladies will sometimes slip into the mud. Now that there is an oppo- sition it becomes us to be as civil and polite ss possible [ laughter]. — Mr James: Then opposition makes you so civil that you don't get down to assist the ladies [ renewed laughter]. Was there room on each side for the defendant to pass ? Witness : I will not swear that there was, but I believe there was.— Mr James: How long did you stop to let out your passengers? Witness: About two seoonds.— Mr James; What! two seconds, to let out three ladies! Witness: Some ladies are quicker in their move- ments than gentlemen, you kfiow, sir [ laughter].— Mr James: Were you waited on by the other omnibus? Witness : We call it " nursing" [ laughter].— Mr James: Well, do you " nurse" the Ge- neral Omnibus Company [ laughter] ?— Mr Baron Martin : What do you call nursing? Witness: Well, you see, my lord, one omni- bus runs before and one behind the opposition ' bus, to prevent its getting passengers. We used to be nursed from Shoreditch to Kingsland Gate with a man with a whistle on the road, and then a ceuple of " Wellingtons" used to come up to take us over the water [ great laughter].— Mr James : Did not MrBas- table start his omnibus after the defendant had bought up all the omnibuses on that line? Witness: They never had ah omnibus on the whole line.— Mr James: Did not Bastable com- mence the " nursing?" Witness: He never " twoed" the others [ laughter].— Mr Baron Martin : What is that? Witness: One before and one behind.— The coachman of the plaintiff's omnibus, Mr Hakeman, and several other passengers who had witnessed the accident, having corroborated his account of it, Mr Stephen Beland, surgeon, described the nature of the injury, which would probably prevent the use of the plaintiff's thumb. — Mr James addressed the jury for the defence, contending that the accident was caused by the driver of the plaintiff's omnibus having backed it to prevent the defendant's passing. Several witnesses were called in support of this view of the case, and they generally expressed an opinion that the accident was caused by the first omnibus having backed ia pulling up, though they did not attribute blame to the driver, or to Johnston, the defendant's driver.— Mr Baron Martin having summed up, the j ury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— £ 100. Married, on the 1st of August, at All Saints' Church, Sutton Forest, New South Wales, by the Rev W. Stone, B. A., Richard Stone, Esq, of Jerry Jerry, Murrumbidgee district, to Susanna Ann, second daughter of John Nicholson, Esq, Royal Navy, late Master Attendant and Harbour Master of Port Jackson, and niece of Mr Renton Nicholson, of the Strand. AMEEICAN RACE HOESES IN ENGLAND.—" A loud and pro- longed cheer greeted the triumph of the American colours," says the London Times, " and Mr Ten Broeck was warmly con- gratulated upon the flrsi victory achieved by him in England." This is well, and as it should be, and we wish we could state otflr positive belief that in the event of a similar victory of the Eng- lish colours— more particularly where the colours were those of the national standard— on Long Island, the triumph would be hailed as generously by the promiscuous crowd which frequents our race courses. Leaving that,; however, to speculation, we have a few words to our readers— why, in their satisfaction at the late success of one of our horses, they should not run away with the false idea that wa have beaten all England into " eternal smash;" achieved a victory for our horseflesh, similar to that achieved for our marine by the victory of the America at the Cowes Regatta ; or even redeemed all that we have lost in self- esteem by the repeated defeats of our horses on the English Turf; for it is nothing of the kind. Prioress has shown herself to be, when herself and well ridden, a good stout, honest, mare, and nothing more; and if this running of the Cesarewitch has shown anything beside, it is this, that, supposing Prioress— which, by the way, we do not believe— to be a fair specimen of our very best American race horses, our best horses cannot run with the best English horses at anything like even, but require odds to give them a chance of winning.— New York Tribune.

GUN ACCIDENT.— We regret to have to record another gun accident. Mr E. Gray, brother to the celebrated maker of arti- ficial limbs, Cork- street, whilst out shooting, at Loweswater, Cumberland, accidentally discharged bis gun, lodging the whole charge in his left foot. Soon after the accident he was removed to his brother's house in London, for the purpose of obtaining the best advice. After great suffering it was found necessary to amputate the limb, which was skilfully performed by Professor QuMn, and we are happy to say the patient is going on well. Those parties had been brought before a magistrate, and had been remanded for further hearing until a future day. On that day the defendant again attended as prosecutor and wit- ness. The magistrate again remanded the case for further hearing, and on leaving the court the defendant was arrested. It was clear that the magistrate, if he had thought fit, might have bound over the prosecutor and witnesses to attend On the further hearing, but the defendant was willing voluntarily to attend, and it appeared to the court that that made no differ- ence in the matter. They entertained no doubt that the court " We feel no hesitation in sayirg, that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful— whether such person hold the relatioE of a parent, preceptor, or ^ clergyman."— Sun, Evening Paper.
